This is a HeadGum Podcast.
Welcome to All Fantasy Everything, the podcast that fantasy drafts the entire world and everything
in it.
Today, we're drafting the 20th century with our guest, podcaster, writer, gentleman of
the world, traveler of the world, Zach Harper.
I'm your host, Ian Carmel.
With me, as always, are my friends,
Sean Jordan and David Boyce. Let's get into it. Welcome to another brand new episode of All Fantasy Everything,
the podcast that bought a one-way ticket to Tokyo.
He's going.
Like a journey song or something.
Yeah.
One-way ticket to Tokyo.
What prompted it?
Were you just sitting?
Like, I'm going.
I'm going to Tokyo.
I've always wanted to go to Tokyo.
It's like been number one on my list
after Scotland.
Did Scotland in New Year's.
So it's now number one on my list.
And I've just been saying like,
all right, I got to do in September.
I got to do it.
If I don't do it,
I'm going to then go next year.
I'm like, all right,
well, when the off season comes,
now I'm going to do it.
I can't keep putting it off.
And so I'm just like, screw it.
I got a credit.
Yes.
Dude, that's great.
You're running out of next years. Life starts happening.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm 41 days in this trying to start some shit.
We can cut this out.
I just DM'd Harper,
say the whores, you coward. Don't cut this out. I just DM'd Harper. Say the whores, you coward.
Don't cut it out.
No, don't cut that out.
That's fine.
No, no, no.
That's fine.
That's good.
That's good.
That's good.
Tokyo would be so...
I mean, I want to go to Japan so bad.
Whores notwithstanding.
I am a married man.
But I...
For the...
It feels so disconnected.
It feels like the furthest away you could get from American culture.
Maybe not the furthest, but so far.
It's my favorite cuisine too.
Like I just, I love Japanese food.
I really do.
Like that is, if you could only pick one cuisine the rest of your life, you know, because like
I do love like other things I love almost as much,
but then you get into like,
well, that's not really
a healthy way to eat all the time
and everything.
But Japanese is very clean.
There's a great variety to it,
and I never get sick of it.
I just never get sick of it.
That is...
I told you guys,
I just want to go,
eat whatever I find,
get super drunk,
go to a sumo match.
If I can do that four times
in the couple of weeks
I'm there.
And that's the other thing.
Like,
just deciding like,
I don't know when I'm coming back.
I'm just booking a one-way
and when I decide to come back,
I come back.
That's so cool.
That's the move.
I've never done that.
Also,
it is hearing it again.
If you live there
and you were going to do
what you just said
you were going to do,
that makes you such a deadbeat.
But you're going on vacation
to do it
and that's the best.
Makes them a bon vivant.
It depends on how you're dressed.
I guess it depends on how much money you got if you live there.
You're a real judgy on these other lifestyles.
Come on, man.
What are you eating?
Traveling, eating delicious food and having a drink
every now and then?
The traveling factor is in harness.
I said if you live there.
I'm not jealous, dude.
This asshole Ernest Hemingway? Is that what you're saying, bro? I'm not jealous, dude. Oh, this asshole Ernest Hemingway?
Is that what you're saying, bro?
I'm not jealous.
I've never been jealous a day in my life.
You probably got one of those stupid seats where you're going to lay down the whole way there.
I don't give a shit.
I got an upgraded seat big time.
I'm going in comfort.
I had an e-credit to apply, and it made the cost so easy.
Got to, got to.
What are all those miles for if not?
I had forgotten that I had skipped out on a flight a couple years ago,
and that e-credit was still on the account.
Oh, I love it when the e-credit's busting.
Yeah.
That e-credit was more than half the ticket.
I was like, well, that makes it really easy.
$600?
Listen, the vacation starts on the tarmac.
Oh, yeah.
You know what I mean?
If you're flying like that.
It starts in the Delta Lounge. That's when it starts. I started the vacation in the Uber on the waymac. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? If you're flying like that. It starts in the Delta lounge.
That's when it starts.
I started the vacation in the Uber on the way to the airport
a few times.
Sean, when you're driving
to the airport, it's not called an Uber.
When you're the one driving.
I'm just reminding you that.
But he is unprofessional.
We do have to point that out.
Top 1% non-professional.
Yeah, I've never been paid.
I do what's called free Uber
where I get drunk and drive people around.
Yeah, yeah.
Can I tell you what?
I got YouTube TV to watch the NBA playoffs.
Not a sponsor.
Not a sponsor.
But I kept it and I've been...
There's a channel on MTV that just shows old videos.
Yeah.
But like old from like when we were,
you know what I mean?
It's like,
it's like the like late nineties,
early two thousands era.
And the video for crazy by Britney Spears came on,
you know,
who's in that.
Yeah.
Vinny Chase too.
Fucking Vinny Chase.
Victor Wimbanyama.
He's six one.
He was six. Yeah. Fucking Vinny Chase and dude. Fucking Vinny Chase. Victor Wembanyama. He's 6'1". He was 6'8".
Fucking Vinny Chase
and Melissa Joan Hart
just hanging out in the video.
It's for a movie called
Drive Me Crazy
that they were both in.
Oh, shit.
It was.
Yeah.
Hold on one second.
He's got to go tell Dana.
He's got to go tell Dana.
Him and Dana got a huge fight over it.
He's got to be like, I got to go apologize.. He's got to go tell Dana. Him and Dana got a huge fight over it. He's got to be like, oh, I got to go apologize.
What's Vincent Chase's real name?
Adrian Grenier?
Adrian Grenier, yeah.
He was just on the Entourage podcast,
and he's pretty solid, man.
So they just talk about Entourage?
Kind of.
So it's kind of like this podcast?
Doug Ellen and Kevin Conley, they're kind of doing a rewatch,
but it's a lot of Doug Allen.
The guy is very self-indulgent, Doug Allen.
Which one is Doug Allen?
He's the creator.
Yeah.
Kevin Connolly is E, right?
Kevin Connolly is E.
Saw him at Dantana's a few months ago.
Dude, they talk about Dantana's
constantly on that podcast.
Constantly.
I'm going to night.
Fuck is Dantana's?
It's a dank spot? It's just a dope old school Italian place in Westantly. I'm going to night. Pakistan Tannis. It's a dank spot.
It's just a dope
like old school Italian place
in West Hollywood.
I like that.
The maitre d's
and the waiters
are just amazing.
Like they're just exactly
what you would want someone
from the 60s to be.
Yep.
Yeah, it's a great spot.
The maitre d's
and the waiters
and the waiters.
Hold on.
Keep talking.
The charger has disappeared
from our office.
I got to go find it.
I'm on a mission.
I'll be back. Probably about that fight you guys disappeared from our office. I got to go find it. I'm on a mission. I'll be back.
Probably about that fight you guys had about
driving me crazy.
About whether that was
Adrian Gagne for fun or from a movie.
Yeah.
I don't know anything that he's
been in.
He was in Devil Wears Prada.
Other than that, though,
I can't think of a ton of stuff.
He was in a TV show
not that long ago on Netflix.
I don't know.
And he hasn't been in much post.
He kind of just only needs to be
from Entourage at this point, right?
Well, I wonder.
It seems like it.
You're probably set up.
You think they're set?
It was a cable show.
Yeah, I guess I don't know
how the cable residuals go or how any residuals go at this point you know topical they made the movie
i don't think it's anywhere near network though no no it can't be i mean i do they get like a cut of
you know the dvd sales and stuff like that i don't know because i feel like a lot of people
brought those dvds i don't know because it's...
That was one of my biggest pains.
One of the biggest pains was having to get rid of those.
I wanted them so bad.
I got the whole set.
I was that dickhead that had it in order
on the shelf and I would show people
like, yeah, this is Entourage. I got the whole set.
No thing. And then I sold them.
I think I got eight bucks for the whole
thing. Why'd you sell
them because it was just a crate you did you never go through that where you just had a crate of
dvds that I would go from place to place and finally I was like this is stupid and I went
sold all of them it was like all the scrubs all of entourage I don't know 40 40 movies, all of Seinfeld. And I think I got 20, it was like $24 for everything.
Wow.
Such a bummer.
I had two moving boxes full of DVDs that I just donated to Goodwill.
Yeah.
I think when I was moving away from Miami, I think that's when I did it.
Because I was just like, I'm not going cross country with this shit.
I think the Miami Good I did it. Because I was just like, I'm not going cross-country with this shit. The Miami Goodwill is crazy.
It's gotta be.
A lot of guys are like,
I thought this shirt would work.
I think I got tricked by the sleeve.
It's just gotta simply be a pawn shop, right?
I heard you could buy a gun at the Miami Goodwill.
A lot of dudes are like,
I can't bring this shirt home
because my wife's gonna ask why I wore this shirt.
I don't have a good reason for that. No serial numbers on anything
at the Miami Goodwill. There's a lot of guys
in the back where they're like, god damn, another
porcelain Jaguar? Where are we going to put
this? We already have 16
porcelain Jaguars on the floor
right now. We're not moving the porcelain Jaguars.
I will say, shout out to Goodwill
because that's the kind of good weird shit you can get
when you're in there where you're like yeah oh whoa yeah this is crazy i mean i remember when i
was a kid we were so broke knowing the difference between the good goodwills and the bad goodwills
like that goodwill's beat this goodwill yeah solid there's parts of town you go to the happy
valley goodwill or like the lake oh goodwill if they even got one you're gonna get decent stuff you go i don't know the northwest goodwill for
example nada yeah nothing he dropped off cordon told me he dropped off like when he moved to back
to england like 10 bags of clothes garbage bags full of clothes so like the what i imagine was
the valer goodwill so at that Goodwill
you can just go in there
and find a bunch of
fucking Gucci shit
I'm sure
oh no
I mean people know
people know
the Bel Air Goodwill
is just called Nordstrom
that's what that is
yeah
he just
yeah
I just gave a bunch of clothes
to Nordstrom
he just dropped it
is this how this works
is this
you can move this right
bringing them into an actual store.
Here you go.
Here's my clothing that I don't want.
Here you are.
That man was flawless.
That was James Corden.
He dropped in for a second to do it.
It wasn't Sean.
There he is.

I'm really happy with the material.
And then, you know, Bay Area, who knows?
Maybe I'll record some kind of a, do some type of a special recording there.
David says he's going to swim to Alcatraz.
I'm going to, yeah.
I'll probably see you swimming back.
I'll already be there.
They're going to take me swimming to Alcatraz. That's where I stay when back. I'm going to take you swimming to Alcatraz.
That's where I stay when I'm in the Bay Area.
Because it's easy.
It's easy access. It's easy beach access.
Can we cut this out?
Harper, you know
that
I feel bad about that and I will
forever. Just so you... I'm looking at you,
Harper. Is this back on the record?
Yes, this can be on the record.
We are. Just in case any listeners sort of at you. Is this back on the record? It's back on the, yes, this can be on the record. I honestly didn't. Just in case any
listeners sort of like went and did some other stuff, we are now
talking about how Sean Jordan did not
invite great friend
and one-time colleague, Zach Harper, to
his wedding. I wouldn't lie to you. I didn't mean
to not. I honestly spaced it.
Well, I've been on a hundred of these
AFEs or something. 140, 143.
Some people would say I accept your apology,
but some people make me keep going.
I'll keep going.
I just can't have you thinking that I really did that.
Yeah.
Like on purpose.
I mean, I did really not invite you.
Isaac's in the chat saying,
I wasn't invited to either of your weddings.
Isaac, I'll happily address that.
We weren't that close yet,
but we have grown much, much closer.
It wasn't like how Sean and I are close.
It wasn't like that.
It wasn't one of those situations.
And to cut it off at the head,
I married to the game like in 94 before I met you.
Harper, I don't know how many texts you want to get today.
I don't know how many,
like I'll tell your dad that I meant to invite you.
We talk on Instagram constantly.
He got invited by the way.
Bill Harper got an invite.
My dad got an invite.
Yeah.
It was just your plus one can't be your son.
That's what it said on the invitation.
Me and Bill Harper are on Instagram every day talking.
Check this out.
At the time of this.
He just sent me something and I haven't opened it,
but the message says, I think it's like, now that's a kite.
Dude, I'll tell you.
I know I've told you this before,
but every time he hits me,
I would go,
where are you getting all these videos?
And he goes, the internet.
I was like, damn.
You're right.
At the time of this recording,
he and my mom are headed here to LA.
First time my dad has visited LA
since I moved here.
You can find him on the Sunset Strip.
Yeah.
The Rainbow Room.
That's why we're going to Dantanus tonight.
You know?
Oh, that's going to be great.
It does say best kite I've seen.
Nice.
That sounds like a message from my dad.
And to put a ball in this entire conversation,
Isaac, if I was putting the wedding together,
if it was this September, you would be on the first list.
Wouldn't even have to look it up.
Aw, thank you.
Sean, I produced the song
for you. What was my invite for that?
That's a great question. A lot of good questions right now.
What did I do to you guys besides not
invite you to my wedding? You know that I'm like
shakingly nervous right now. I love you. I was
in Korea, by the way, so I couldn't have gone anyway.
I had no plans.
I was here. I was at home just hanging out.
You're scared of my pics.
That's what's happening. You're trying to shake me before the game.
It's working, by the way.
I just want to say,
there's not even a forgiveness. It happens.
Mistakes happen. There's no need to
forgive. There's no need to apologize.
But yeah, I was at home alone. There is a need
to throw a second wedding and invite
Zach, though. I'll go to the next one.
Catch you on the rebound.
You can marry Laura again.
You don't have to end
your relationship with her,
but there does need to be
a second wedding.
If you're going to do
a second wedding,
you have to end,
you got to get a divorce,
a legal divorce,
and then remarry.
The man has his terms.
Oh, that ring came off.
Comes off pretty easy.
Wow.
Oh,
you don't want to.
I wouldn't,
I wouldn't phrase it like that.
My name is Ian Carmel
at Ian Carmel on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, anywhere you want to see I wouldn't phrase it like that. My name is Ian Carmel, at Ian Carmel on Twitter,
Instagram,
TikTok,
anywhere you want to see me, baby.
No longer on television,
which means I am
all up in your cities
doing stand-up comedy.
Portland, Oregon,
myself,
Sean Jordan,
Kyle Kinane,
Shane Brendan,
and Imani
will be doing a benefit show
for the Crayon Kids
August 15th
at the Star Theater.
Crayon Kids Musical Theater Company.
It just does sound derogatory whenever you say it.
Now that you put that in my head, it always sounds like, I don't know.
What's your name, Crayon Kids?
So we're going to be doing a, they lost the rehearsal space.
We're going to be raising money so they can continue to teach kids theater.
I can't, I, yeah, you know, it's a good cause.
And then God, for the love of God, you can
come see Sean Jordan and I in Vancouver,
British Columbia,
November 30th through December 2nd.
I will be in Austin,
Texas at the
Vulcan Gas Company
December 8th and 9th.
Exclamation point for
Hanukkah. Come see me
slinging very Jewish material.
Very Jewish.
And then more dates to come.
We'll all be at High Plains, of course.
We'll be at the High Plains Comedy Festival
doing this podcast.
We probably say it.
We're doing two live AFEs.
If we can't say that, I guess I said it.
So yeah, it'll be dank.
And then we get to curate a stand-up show.
It's going to be fantastic.
We can't say it and you ruined itup show we can't be fantastic we can't
say it and you ruined it now we can ruin it now they're not gonna let us do it i'm having a rough
day i thought i was i was doing well until i started having a bad day just now it's a bad day
dude i'm not having a bad day i just feel bad now i've done i've done like four things wrong don't
feel bad you haven't done anything wrong we're having a silly time being silly guys. Zach Harper is here at talk hoops on Twitter.
Is it,
what is it on Instagram?
I talk hoops across platform.
Venmo,
tick tock,
all that NBA,
two K.
Okay.
Yeah.
Everywhere,
baby.
I imagine on some Reddit beard care forums every now and then.
Probably that too.
Almost got pressured into shaving
into a mustache.
I did like the first part of that
sentence, but I really liked the second.
You should shave it into like d'Artagnan.
You should have a pointy goatee, like a
musketeer. I bet you'd look really good like that.
I bet I wouldn't.
I bet I really wouldn't. In case the listeners
haven't seen Zach in person,
the beard is lush.
It's a jet black full beard.
It is lush.
Well, no, there's a lot of gray on the chin here.
No, there isn't.
No, there is.
Like, you see it.
There's a lot of gray.
There's a lot of gray on the sides of my hair.
But, you know, that liquid collagen that I'm peddling,
it helps the hair.
It looks good.
You look great.
Absolutely.
You look fabulous.
People can listen to you, and I believe,
and I've had it written down here,
so I don't mess it up.
It's the Cinephile podcast.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's Cinephobe.
Cinephobe.
Didn't we say pedophile?
Pedophile.
The pedophobe podcast.
Pedophobe.
Yeah, hate kids.
Good.
How do you get a lot of crayons, kids?
So this is a test that I have
for if something sounds offensive,
is you just plug it into this sentence.
Oh, my daughter's dating one of those Kranz kids.
And if that sounds offensive, then it's offensive.
Right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what I worry about.
So I do that whenever I'm like, is that word problematic?
Is it racist?
Is it misogynistic?
Should I be saying that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I never know.
And so I plug it in that sentence.
And if it doesn't feel right,
then that's where I am.
My dog's also very upset about this.
Is it?
My dog is dating one of those crayon kids.
Maybe that's what he thought he heard you say.
Yeah, maybe he thought that.
Yeah.
So Cinephobe, it's a podcast.
You guys haven't released any episodes yet.
It's coming out soon, right?
Is that what I'm led to believe?
We're coming up on our 200th episode.
So that's not accurate.
I'm sorry I messed that up.
I'm sorry I messed that up too.
I'm sorry I messed that up too.
This dog is really barking, huh?
Only one of your feet hurts?
Just one.
I lost the other one in a bet.
And it's you and Jeff Van Gundy, right?
It's me and Jeff Van Gundy,
and we only watch the movie Eddie.
That's a good way to be.
Yeah.
It's me.
It's Amin Alhassan.
It's Anthony Mays.
And we do movies that are 40%
or lower on Rotten Tomatoes
and try to ascertain
if they're actually bad movies
or maybe they didn't get a fair shake.
It's Cinephile wherever you get podcasts.
How about that?
Beautiful.
We're doing this thing this year real quick.
It's called the Daisy Chain.
And so the next movie has to feature,
or not even feature,
just has to have someone from the previous movie we did.
Oh, I like that.
Yeah.
That's fun.
We did theme months last year,
and now we're doing the Daisy Chain this year.
What was the last movie?
Or you can't say yet?
Well, as of today,
we dropped,
well, of this recording,
we dropped Men in Black
2. Oh, man.
Yeah, which was after the bye-bye.
A lot of places to go after that.
Yeah, and it can be any little bit.
Oh, well, when does this come out?
Two weeks.
Two weeks. Oh, so then we went from
Men in Black 2 to Congo.
Oh, Congo. Nice.
You can also check out
his writings at The Athletic.
Yeah.
I do one of the only free things
at The Athletic.
Which is The Bounce, the newsletter.
Theathletic.com slash The Bounce.
It's one of the few things we do for free.
Well, now we're in the off-season, so it's every Tuesday
and Friday.
But it's just a cool little
email you'll get at around
10 a.m. Eastern.
Every single morning in the regular season.
7 a.m. Pacific for those of you.
That's true.
Feet pics in all of them too, right?
You're doing feet pics during the off season?
Nothing but player feet and my feet.
That's all it is.
And you can look for them on the streets
of Tokyo. We are gathered here And you can look for him on the streets of Tokyo.
We are gathered here today,
not only to talk about fabulous newsletters on basketball,
where if you like the sport at all,
you need to get yourself involved in that,
but also to fantasy draft.
And this was Zach Harper's idea.
The 20th century.
It's wild.
This is great.
I mean,
and anything that happened in the 20th century,
anything that came out of the 20th century,
it's on the table and we're going to be drafting it.
Most wide open shit probably ever.
I got a real weird list of things I want to get in this.
Mine is insane.
Mine is so boring, actually.
Yeah, I don't think mine's crazy.
Mine's not crazy at all.
I mean, we'll get into it.
We'll get into it.
We'll talk about it.
We'll get into it. A little bit of the pics We'll talk about it. We'll get into it.
A little bit of the picks to the talk.
And the way we determine the order of this draft is through a rollicking game of rock,
paper, scissors.
Play between the three of you, and we throw on shoot.
Here we go.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
David wins.
A natural victory.
No, natural.
Natural, natural, natural.
Natural.
A rock against two scissors.
David, as the winner of rock, paper, scissors, it is incumbent upon you to determine the order today's draft but before you do that i will remind you it
is a serpentine draft and what is that that's a great question coming up on its last legs now
that he didn't stop doing the uh the jewish app bit where but anyway it's like uh it's like going
through security at the uh at the airport i actually thought of a new one today like you go
down to the end you turn a little bit you just go
you go up and then you go all the way down to the other end you go up a little bit all the way back
down and up a little bit all the way back down as sort of like a snake would slither now let me tell
you something just because i've stopped doing the jewish app bit if you think for a second
you're getting out of this serpentine thing you got another fucking thing coming well i'm going
to keep doing the serpentine thing,
but then I'm going to start doing the Jewish app thing.
Can I do that?
Should we flip?
It sounded offensive.
I can't tell if he froze or if he's doing a bit.
My daughter's dating one of these Jewish apps?
Yeah, no, it doesn't work.
Stop it.
I didn't tell.
Oh, it's great.
That wasn't quite. Oh, what's great. I didn't know Ian was frozen there for me.
So he was just pointing the whole time.
I thought he was holding it.
Yeah, I thought you were doing it too.
I wish I was.
I wish I was.
I was frozen.
I might have done it anyway.
Yeah.
You start doing the Jewish app thing,
and I will start doing the serpentine,
even though it doesn't pass the daughter test.
I,
uh,
so David,
uh,
basically what it means is you pick fourth in the first round,
you pick first in the second round with that in mind,
what will the order of today's draft of the 20th century be?
I got to take Zach,
Zach Harper first.
Cause I want to hear it so bad.
I do too.
I want to hear what's happening.
Zach,
me,
Sean,
Ian,
Zach,
David,
Sean, Ian, hot corner. Uh, Harper, Sean, Ian. Zach, David, Sean,
Ian. Hot corner!
Harper, you have the first pick
in the topic you selected,
the 20th century. We're going to get to that first pick
right after this short break.
This episode
of All Fantasy Everything
is brought to you by Policy Genius.
Policy Genius, I'm going to hit you. We're going to talk
about some life insurance stuff real quick. Now, 40% of people with life insurance wish they'd gotten
their policy at a younger age. Of course you do. I wish I'd done everything at a younger age.
That's neither here nor there. PolicyGenius, essentially, it just helps you get the life
insurance you need fast so you can get on with your life. With PolicyGenius, you can find life insurance policies that start at just $292 per year for $1 million of coverage. Some options offer same-day approval and avoid
unnecessary medical exams. So I have life insurance. It had nothing to do with me. It's
my wife did everything, but it's tough. It's a hassle to go through and get. You have to
research it, which I don't like
researching anything. If I buy something, I just go into the person that works at the store and
say, what is right in the middle? What's not the best? What's not the worst? And that is how I do
it. With life insurance, obviously, you want to be a little bit more careful about that. But how
do I know where to start? You know what I mean? I have no idea what to do, where to look. Nobody
does. And that's what
Policy Genius does. They just go in, they find and compare all the best quotes for you. They just go
to all the nation's top insurers, and then they give you your best options. They're just a few
clicks, and then you're going to find your lowest price. And their expert license support team
is your advocate. They work for you. They're not getting bonuses. They're not
getting anything like that from certain insurance companies. They're not out there being smarmy.
They just want to help you out. They're answering the questions, handling the paperwork,
shaking the hands, kissing the babies. They're doing it all for you.
And if you don't have life insurance, I know it sucks to talk about or to think about,
but you're just going to stick people with the bill. You're going to stick your loved ones with the bill. Don't nobody want to do that. You know what I mean?
Get covered. I don't want anyone inheriting my debt. And then they see what I spent money on,
probably. I don't need all that nonsense in my life. Get it covered. Get an insurance policy.
Get it handled. And like I said, Policy Genius gives you unbiased advice from
a licensed expert support team. They have thousands of five-star reviews
on Google Trustpilot from customers who've felt the benefits of their service. So get on it.
Don't wait. Don't hesitate. Don't procrastinate. Oh, yeah, I got a song on Spotify as a rapper.
That's neither here nor there. Don't put off life insurance. Make it easy with Policy Genius. Head

to get your free life insurance quotes
and see how much you could save.
That's PolicyGenius.com.
Yeah, we're back.
Welcome back to All Fantasy Everything,
the only podcast that has ever existed,
except for, of course, coming soon,
Cinephobe, which will be launching its inaugural episode,
I think in October of 2024.
About 200 of 2024.
We're very excited for that.
We're very excited for that.
Another podcast getting in the game.
Yeah.
The first real at-bat coming up.
Getting in the game about a year from October.
So you guys can check that out.
I think it's only on Stitcher.
All right.
Zach, it's your first pick.
Which I don't think is a thing anymore, actually.
I think Stitcher went away.
That's bad news for your podcast. you guys should have thought before you spotted
it's on quibi all right uh this this stemmed from listen on a zune this stem from uh we have a thing on we have a thing on cinephobe in our our nearly 200 practice episodes so far uh called the 20th
century and this is something that originated
in our last Action Hero episode
in which there was something that,
where they were like,
checking out movie times in the newspaper
and they're like circling it, right?
And we're like, that doesn't happen anymore.
Like that's some 20th century shit.
And so that's where the 20th century idea came from.
And I couldn't pass up the number one
20th century moment, item,
occurrence that I could think of. This was something from September 22nd, 1986 to March
24th, 1990. It was one of the biggest things you'll ever experience. You may know it as
something called alien life form. know it as alf that's what alf stands for yeah yeah didn't he
eat dogs or cats he ate cats he just absolutely ate cats the original tanner family no offense to
the full house folks oh shit no i was thinking of the Connors. Yeah, you're right. The Tanners are Full House.
Yeah, but this is the original Tanner family.
He's from Melmac.
He's from Melmac.
Yeah, Melmac.
Melmac.
Yeah.
Alf is just the quintessential
20th century moment.
Here, can I try this real quick?
My daughter's dating one of those cat eaters from Melmac.
Nope.
Not good. Here, can I try this real quick? My daughter's dating one of those cat eaters from Melmac. Nope. Does that work?
Nope.
That's tough.
Yeah, that's tough.
Not good.
The from Melmac helps it.
You just said cat eaters.
That would make it.
Cat eaters.
Yeah.
Expecting us to know what it was.
Yeah.
You're like, is that a Portuguese guy?
Giving you a little elbow like, huh?
What is that?
You know, they wear those little hats.
That's the next racist thing.
You know, I never watched that much ALF.
What?
It was so good.
I just need to point out, everything from the 20th century was on the table, and you took ALF first.
That's why I asked him to go first.
He's a wild guy.
He's trying to get a heat check.
Of course I did.
No heat check.
It's hot.
No, I know.
I knew what this was.
I'm not disagreeing.
I'm just,
it's a silly check.
This is going to be
my most boring draft to date.
The man is a wisecracking puppet
who eats cats.
Who's the one spy?
Do you know his name?
Like his character name?
Is it Alfonso?
Gordon Shumway.
What? Gordon Shumway? Gordon Shumway is an alien from
the planet Melmac who follows an
amateur radio signal to earth and
crash lands into the garage of the
Tanners Gordon Gordon Shumway Shumway
yeah Polish Polish guy invented this cartoon, huh?
Right here in the beautiful San Fernando Valley.
How about that?
More than 100 episodes of Elf.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Wow.
1986 to 1990.
So I was five to 10.
Yeah.
I don't know how I missed it.
It was kind of right there for me.
It was incredible. What an incredible show.
People used to watch TV,
man. It was like the 28th ranked
show in 1986
and it still got a
16.5 rating, which is
nobody gets that anymore.
Football barely gets that anymore.
Yeah. Yeah.
Ratings are so right like it if you
get if we got in the above a one we were celebrating yeah people i mean they used to get
like millions and millions of viewers and now you'd be happy like if you got actual viewers like
if you if you got a million you'd be thrilled right that's right holy shit wait, one year tied with Monday Night Football for the biggest show on TV?
Did I freeze?
Yeah, you froze.
A little bit.
The points don't mean a million, do they?
Like 16 doesn't mean 16 million viewers, does it?
I don't know how that works.
Yes.
I don't think anybody knows.
Hold on, I'll be right back.
Dana, I've got new information about drive me crazy
it just came to me
no it was 16.2 Dana
so
so if
that's what I'm
so like a TV show
used to get 16 million viewers
per session
and now they don't get
anywhere near that right
because people just stream it
and you can't really
track
do they
I'm sure they track the metrics
on streaming
and Netflix and shit
they have to
but they don't share them
because then they'd have to.
Because they don't have to.
Yeah.
Yeah, because then they've got to pay pin.
That's why it strikes.
Sure.
In 1987 to 1988, it had an 18.8 rating, which tied it with the Wonder Years.
And then the next year, it was tied with Monday Night Football.
See, now the Wonder Years and Monday Night Football, I was watching.
That was going on?
I was watching a
lot of monday night my god we used to get out of practice early because even the coach was like you
can't miss the song there's no point to watching the game if you miss the song would you do splits
to get out early i i would have had to stay late i did the splits exactly one time that's my favorite
story of yours it's my absolute favorite. I never really played football
again after that.
I showed up,
but it never really.
Yeah.
You found the love of your life, though.
I did.
I found skateboarding.
The splits in front of strangers.
Man, they were not cool about it.
I'll tell you that.
That's a tough one.
That's got to be a tough one, man.
They were. The coaches were. Oh, I'd loved it. I've tell you that. That's a tough one. That's got to be a tough one, man. They were. The coaches were.
Oh, I'd
love to. I've seen a couple of those kids since then
and one of them apologized. A couple of them
are like still absolute
pricks, but like I can tolerate them now because I'm
a grown up and like we can exist
in the same world because I have a little confidence,
but I'd love to see the coaches because they're probably
70 by now.
I'm sure they remember it.
They would have to.
Such a bummer.
You never have to another time.
We were talking about Sean doing the splits
at football practice.
Oh, yeah.
We got around to it.
One of my favorites ever,
Carla Gugino was a supporting character.
Oh, was she?
Yeah.
I'm in love with her.
I gotta say.
I don't think anyone else is hot now
because I'm married,
but back in the day
that was
that was the one
Carla who?
Carla Gino
she plays
Amanda Daniels
in Entourage
Vince's second manager
she's in
oh yeah of course
Vince's second manager
she's in
she's in
Snake Eyes
she's in
Sin City
she's in a ton of stuff she's in San Andreas San Andreas she's in Snake Eyes she's in Sin City she's in a ton of stuff
she's in San Andreas
San Andreas
she's the wife
she's the wife in San Andreas
oh yeah she's the girlfriend
in Son-in-law right
Kelly Kabowski's girlfriend
man we just
I know a little more
about Carla Gugino
than I thought
sounds like you know
a lot about her
is it Gugino
or Gugino
Gugino
I think it's Gugino
Gugino would sound
that's crazy it's Gjino it's my buddy
jujino dude he's a jewish italian yeah he works at that falafel pizza place right yeah jujino dude
he's the first guy to put pastrami in a knish he's fucking off his chain
prosciutto in a knish sorry that's the joke he first got to put prosciutto in a caniche sorry that's the joke you first gotta put prosciutto in a caniche
giugino
giugino invented the pizza bagel
come on stay give us time
there it is
the pizza bagel
one of your convention was never made
no
I'm saying pics now
what if we put this one on this one?
And we'll die.
They're like, you're crazy, Gino.
You did it again, Gino.
Get out of here, Gino.
My daughter's dating one of those Ginos.
It doesn't sound good, right?
Well, it depends.
It depends.
How about this?
My daughter's dating a pizza bagel.
That sounds all right.
It weirdly still sounds bad. That sounds worse? My daughter's dating a pizza bagel. That sounds all right. It weirdly still sounds bad.
That sounds worse than Jujino.
That sounds worse.
At least Jujino, he's saying Jew.
This is just me saying.
One of them pizza bagels.
You mean a Jujino?
He's not making anybody guess what he means.
You know what I mean?
Better than one of those curry salsas.
Oh my god.
David, time for your first
pick. Uh, yeah.
Alf, and
then also, uh,
flight, air travel.
Oh, flight. Sorry.
That's a good one, yeah.
No, of course.
It's just like, it's made the world so accessible to have even interstate.
Like we shit on Spirit, but those flights are all full
and people are able to get across the country for $100.
That's amazing.
Yeah, nine hours later than they wanted, but it's still like amazing.
It was what, a 12-week journey before?
Yeah.
That's what they made it. If you make it.
Yeah. Yeah. You didn't get like typhoid
on the way. Every time my flight gets delayed,
I make myself think that like, well, I still
get to fly through the sky and it's
amazing and it's fun
and I'm scared of it. It's still fun.
Let me ask you this. You think
well, I don't know. Nevermind.
I'll ask you later.
I'll ask you later. think well i don't know never mind i'll ask you later no no no no no no no yeah i'll i'll ask you later it might get my we might talk about my question so it'll come up naturally
all right yeah what did you just say no to before i asked i thought you were backing out of something
and i wanted you i wanted you in whatever it was i want it i just if we do it later, that's fine. But whatever you were going to say,
I want to hear it for every reason.
Yeah.
Like my foreign films list yesterday.
Yeah.
What about Robin Hood?
That's a foreign film.
That works.
No,
that counts.
That's why we couldn't add Zach here.
Yeah.
It's in Scotland.
I'm saying Braveheart should have come.
I'm about to launch a movie podcast.
I'm an expert.
What about a Zach?
Would you count the fifth Element as a foreign film?
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's in space, right?
It's in space.
There's accents.
100%.
If there's an accent in a movie,
I consider it a foreign film.
That's a wild move.
Like a New York accent even?
Yeah.
What if it's a Gugino accent?
Look, if someone sounds like a pizza bagel,
it's a foreign film, right?
I can never tell what they're saying.
No.
Well, they never say what they mean.
It's always coded.
What's the longest flight you've been on?
All of you.
Well, Zach, you've been to Australia.
Yeah, I've been to Australia, yeah.
In one shot? You've had to have been on some long flights. David, you've been on some. Yeah, I've been to Australia, yeah. In one shot.
You've had to have been on some long flights.
David, you've been on some long flights, right?
Yeah, probably 12 hours.
I've done some like 14-hour flight,
like to Paris was I think 14 hours,
something like that.
That sounds right.
Is that the kind of info you're looking for there?
Yeah, kind of.
It's just crazy because you can fly over the ocean.
I mean, you would have had to fucking, you know,
you would have had to swim before. It would have taken years had to fucking, you know, you would have had to swim before.
It would have taken years.
I got a real problem.
You would have had to swim with a little floaty next to you.
Yeah.
I have a real problem with jet streams.
I've decided.
Oh, no.
I just like...
Your daughter was dating a jet stream for a while?
If you're a jet stream, you're a jet stream all the way.
I just think the jet streams need to like
get over themselves
and stop being so withholding
like sometimes they're good
but sometimes they
they literally push you back
and I'm not
I'm not okay with it
like I think they
I would be fine
if all the jet streams
were gone
I mean I don't
I mean you're saying stuff
that like once
you can't take that back
I can't think like that
because if I'm in the air
thinking about the jet stream
pushing the plane back,
it starts to freak me out
because I get scared.
Don't either go to Australia
or come back from it.
I can't remember which way
has the jet stream
that makes it longer.
I'll be tossed.
When I do go to Australia
for whatever reason
I'm going for,
I will be, yeah.
That flight is so long
you can get drunk twice.
Oh, I have.
Which I will do. I got real drunk twice
fell asleep
got up sober
and got drunk again
it's like 19 hours right
no it was like
I think it was like
15
maybe 16 hours
I can't remember
it was somewhere in that range
that's heavy though
get ripped up at the airport
get about 3 hours of flight
and then sleep for
whatever
6 hours
hop up and do it all again, baby.
I think I told you guys, but on one of the
flights, I think it was coming back.
This was back before
everyone had their own video player
and you had iPads and stuff
like that. So there was a one
video player for the plane
and it broke so it could only
play the Chronicles of Narnia.
I don't mind that.
Well, by the third or fourth time,
you start going real crazy.
Because there's nothing else to do.
I wasn't on the internet.
I missed the one movie thing.
No.
What?
I think it was fun when they had one big screen.
I mean, I was only on a flight one time
when that happened,
but everybody had to watch the same thing.
I think there's something funny about that.
Well, funny, certainly not though.
Well, fun and bonding or whatever.
It's like, I'm not watching a movie
to do research on the plane.
Like, I just want to pass the time.
If we all get to watch the same thing,
it's kind of fun.
I don't agree with that at all.
I'm sorry.
I hear you out,
and I give you the space to feel
what you want to feel.
You just use David's pick to fly to an island
that no one else is on.
It doesn't make any sense to me.
You feel nostalgic for washing boards, too?
You know what I mean?
I miss when people used to go to the river to do laundry.
It's not like we're all talking about, oh, did you see what's going on in Double Jeopardy?
Yeah.
She killed a guy.
I wonder.
There's no way that's true.
You, like, do your time for a murder that you didn't commit, and then you can just go kill him?
No way.
Wait.
Sorry, man. I got to gotta Oh, that's not a pick
though. You're just saying Double Jeopardy's probably
Yeah, I was talking about the movie Double Jeopardy.
Oh, yeah. I don't know. It could be a pick.
Flight 1903, Kitty Hawk, North Carolina
at the Wright Brothers. The Wright Brothers.
Manned flights. Manned motored
flights. It's crazy to think
that we went from flight
to, you know what I mean, like that flight on the beach to other that we went from flight to you know what i mean like that flight
on the beach to other things we were doing in less than a century yo it's insane it's like the
permanence of it changes like used to be if you move to another country you could very well not
see if you move across the world you very well will not see your family ever again ever or your
homeland or anything like that it's like even staying in
the country back then you could go to oklahoma family and just leave yeah way easier to be a
deadbeat dad back then i can't get back yeah you're just a merchant marine just out there
i was talking about this last night i don't think this is a pick, but like just the, the sheer insanity of like live,
like being a relatively well off person in LA in like the twenties and thirties.
And you just be like,
Oh,
my mistress,
I got to build her a house in the Hills.
So there,
all right,
here's $11.
I'll build a house in the Hills.
And like,
you just,
whatever that costs back then.
Right.
But like,
you could just,
you could like,
you could just do that so easily.
And now it's damn near impossible
to even have a conversation
about buying a house in the hills.
Let alone build one for your mistress.
They had the Homestead Act
where they would give you 40 acres or something.
You had to do five things.
You had to come here.
You had to build a house.
You had to teach a kid.
You had to farm.
You had to grow your own food. Five things you had to do. But they'd give you 40 acres of land if you had to teach a kid you had to farm like you had to grow
your own food five things you had to do but they'd give you 40 acres of land if you did that no matter
what they'd give they'd give you 40 acres yeah yeah now you know i think you're a brilliant
person i you know what i mean some people think because like i think you're a very intelligent
brilliant person sean because i hate reading yeah but like for some people like he hates reading
they maybe think you're not as smart as you are.
I happen to know for a fact
that you're incredibly smart.
Where are you pulling the Homestead Act from, dude?
I know.
I know.
The movie Far and Away.
We went to the Oregon.
So the end of the Oregon Trail
is in Oregon City.
And we went to the museum
a couple of weeks ago with Max.
And I just picked up some stuff.
One of them was about the homestead act.
Hell yeah.
Well, it's time for you to pick up your first pick.
Uh, the internet.
It's a good one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, sorry to, sorry to be so vanilla off, off top, but yeah, I mean, I know it would
go on like much like flight.
It changed the whole, it just changed just changed everything it's it's insane what
it did there's not even really a way to quantify it it's crazy to think about before the internet
like how i guess how simple everything would have seemed but also hard everything would have
seemed at the same time i think it was a mistake what the internet yeah yeah i don't love it i
think it stopped us from learning it's tough to think about like you know i remember sending headshots i remember sending in the mail a headshot
like with a video it's not a headshot i just gotta have this conversation once a month and
it's just to my aunt my aunt land and be like what do you think about headshots you think i'll get
booked send it to van damme's fan club. Hey, man. I have a background
in Taekwondo.
Man.
And a foreground
in Taekwondo.
I remember
we used to be in this
fantasy wrestling league
where you would mail stuff.
Like,
now they would just do it
through,
you would mail it.
They'd mail you a little pamphlet.
You'd fill it out,
like, with your pics or whatever.
You'd mail it back
and then they'd do fantasy matches
and just mail you the results.
Crazy.
Who is doing that? That's the, who is doing that? crazy who it's who's doing that that's the who's doing my buddy cj we're doing that oh who's no i mean who's running
it that's the wild thing is that commitment to like you know dude in wichita going to the post
office like three times a week yeah it's just nuts i mean you know like obviously it's monumental
it's completely world shaping i'm also worried that it might end the world.
I've been watching the Terminator movies again.
Oh,
it's tough.
Well,
dude,
that new mission impossible didn't do me any favors.
I'm like,
wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
I think the internet might be the last worst thing we do.
We've done a lot of terrible things as a species.
I mean,
we'll do other,
but like big,
like where I'm like, Oh, this might be what what ends it do you remember how like fun arguing used to be
like about anything and now you have a disagreement someone's like i'll look it up
and if i got into it the other day stop doing that like i like there are certain people where
in my life we're like we're like we've decided like not allowed to like look something up
yeah so i could say like jay stackhouse averaged 39 points a game one year, and you
can't be like, well, let me look that up.
It doesn't count.
It was 41.
The other day, I said this, and it's
one of those things I think I know, but I've never researched
that it's either power, love,
or back in time, Huey Lewis couldn't get
on his greatest hits album because he didn't have the rights
because of Back to the Future. And instead
of kind of having fun
talking about it for a minute,
somebody started to look it up
right away.
And I was like,
just don't look it up.
Just don't.
Don't look it up.
Just let's just,
let's just let it breathe.
Who cares?
And yeah,
this was yesterday
and we still don't know
because nobody looked it up,
which is fine.
Yeah.
Because it doesn't matter.
I was in an argument
with someone
who was stumped
about what they knew
Eartha Kitt from
and I was like, oh, well,
she was Catwoman, she's a singer
and I was like, nope, not that.
How about to be Boomerang?
No, I tried Boomerang.
It was
weeks later, because
not allowed to look it up, weeks later
it came to her and she
said, oh, I know.
It's from Ernest Scared Stupid.
Amazing.
That's.
Yeah.
What a hit movie.
And for weeks later,
to that be resolved in that manner
made the internet completely useless
and unappealing to me.
Yeah, that was satisfaction.
Entertainment was better.
I mean, like there was
more now the choice is amazing don't get me wrong it is fucking amazing that i could go listen to
any song by any artist that i've ever wanted to like in the way it's like that is amazing it's
also amazing that i can drink so much i pee the bed i mean what does that mean yeah right
everything everything is around all the time
and none of it has any value
because of it
I had an overnight guest do that once
not that long ago
a few years ago
and that was a tough middle of the night
it's such a where you wonder where you're like
is this the night
all of a sudden they're on the couch
and I got up
and I was like what are you doing on here
come back to bed
and they came back to bed and they went on
where I was sleeping
so then I was like alright whatever
and I laid down where they were sleeping
and I went oh no
this is real wet
I would want to get ahead of it I'd be like well
you know a little wink like
I don't want to sleep on my side of the bed anymore yeah you know yeah i wouldn't just leave it to you to find out i've
i was cool about it though as i'm sure you all expected for sure well what are you gonna do i've
never yeah it's there's been a few situations friends and otherwise where like i've just and
i really appreciate you not telling anybody about that. Yeah, I'm not naming any names.
No, I mean, it's not like that.
If I walked in and saw somebody standing up pissing on the bed, then I'd be like, hey, I'd be a little ruder about it.
But if you're asleep, it's not your fault.
It's all good.
Yeah, it happens.
So the Internet, you know, on the one hand, you can watch a video of a kid after he goes to the dentist and he's still, you know, coming out of anesthesia.
And on the other hand, it may hasten the development of artificial intelligence that launches all the nukes and kills everybody.
Now, that's, you can't just actually take the plot of Terminator.
It's peaks and valleys.
I mean, yeah, that's a pick.
Yeah, that's a pick. Peaks and valleys.
It's not the reason you guys are friends, but it's the reason I'm friends with all you guys is the internet.
So there are some good things.'s true you know you're throwing friends
around do you show me on your fridge where the invite to my wedding is or is it not up there
oh he's owning it couldn't if i wanted to he's owning it
now the truth comes out that's sean jordan's music
anyway the internet yeah yeah the internet that's a good. Anyway, the internet. Yeah. The internet.
That's a good one.
I got the internet going nuts.
Right.
Time for my first and my second picks.
With my first pick, I'm going to take penicillin.
Yeah.
Oh, this one.
Yeah.
Heavy hitter.
People used to die from infections all the time.
All the time.
It was probably one of the biggest killers of people.
And then in 1928, a chance event in Alexander Fleming's London Laboratory
changed the course of medicine forever.
Yeah, it was an accident, right?
Huh?
It was an accident, right?
Yeah, it was an accident.
They accidentally invented penicillin.
It was a bacteriologist.
Alexander Fleming.
Of course it was.
That's not a job.
It's a job. It's a job.
It was a job,
but much like a milkman
and shoehorser.
Listen,
those were slurs.
I don't like that.
You can't just call someone
a milkman anymore, okay?
You're not supposed to say that.
That's not okay.
Sean, you're a bit of a milkman, right?
Stop, dude.
On wax? Not anymore.
He's a registered shoehorser.
I did have to tell all my
neighbors I was shoeing horses back in Kentucky.
It's a vibrant Reddit community.
What are you in for?
What am I not in for?
So basically, some mold
had
called penicillin.
The totem had contaminated his Petri dishes and it had inhibited the growth of
staphylococci.
So like staff,
staphylococci,
these fucking staphylococci.
This used to be a fucking neighborhood.
You could have a family in it.
And I was laughing because it had the word cock in it.
The staphylococci's moved in.
I would also get like red sauce on a staphylococci.
Well, that's when you have to see a bacteriologist.
That sounds like a job a five-year-old learned the word bacteria.
And then they're like, I want to be a bacteriologist when I grow up.
Yeah.
Penicillin. It was
maybe the most... It's crazy to think that
at one point we just didn't have anything for that.
Yeah. I don't
know if I've ever had to have penicillin
for it. You just have it for...
STDs is a big one, right? It gets rid of
all the STDs. No, but like any
bacterial infection after a
surgery. So like if you have bronchitis, they'll give like bacterial infection, right? Yeah. After a surgery. So like if you have like
bronchitis,
they'll give you penicillin?
Yeah.
Staph infection,
anything that's an infection.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
It's huge.
Nice.
But most STDs.
How did they find out
because it was an act,
how would they,
how did they administer it
to whoever?
Like how did they find out
it did anything?
They had to like purify it,
which took another like
10 or 15 years of like intense science. But if it was a mistake, how did they find out it did anything? They had to like purify it, which took another like 10 or 15 years of like intense science.
But if it was a mistake, why did they even look into the benefits of it?
Am I saying, am I asking the right question?
Like, how did they find out?
They were testing the bacteria, staphylococci.
They were like trying to figure out how to solve it.
And they noticed like, because this mold had spread as when they were gone over a break
and they were like, wait, it's inhibiting the growth of this
bacteria understood what is it
about this and then through a series of more experiments
turned it into penicillin
understandable understandable
understandable understood
uh number two
with my second pick
yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna take
uh Hitler dying
yeah
I was gonna take that after Alf yeah I'm going to take Hitler dying. Yeah.
I was going to take that after Alf.
Yeah.
No, I had a pretty strong feeling.
Yeah.
He fucking shot himself in the head.
That's great.
That's fucking awesome.
Fucking idiot.
You know, I hate Hitler.
I don't think that's a controversial opinion
at this point,
even post 301.
It was Eagles Nest or whatever was Finn to be stormed and then even post-301. It was Eagle's Nest or whatever.
It was Finn to be stormed, and then he just
marked himself. It was like Shawshank, right?
He just Shawshanked himself.
The Russians were barking down...
Had sex with Andy Dufresne?
That's how he died.
Move to Zihuatanejo.
The Russians were knocking on his door.
The Americans not far off.
The Allied forces not far off either.
And then he just fucking ended it.
You fucking idiot.
You fucking you fucking dork.
Yeah.
What a nerd.
What an absolute nerd.
It's just comeuppance.
This is a stand in for comeuppance.
I love comeuppance.
And that man got his comeuppance on every level.
Evil, but then also stupid.
Like bit off way more than he could chew. You're gonna fight the
Russians, too? You mook? What the
fuck are you doing? You love comeuppance.
Now, I'm to understand the man who said that he would
wait in the right lane and die
a natural death before he let somebody else
in on the 26 West coming from Beaverton
to Portland. 26 East, rather.
You like comeuppance? I'm to understand?
That's 100% right. I would
miss my own wedding
to not let someone merge late.
When we drafted it,
you said you'd happily die a natural death
sitting in your car to not let somebody in.
I would die a natural...
If I had an organ for transplanting
in a cooler in the backseat of my car
and I knew there was like a child who needed it,
I would still take an extra hour to not let somebody merge late.
Yeah.
Now you said you'd miss your own wedding for it.
I just want to know,
like,
that's not why I miss Sean's wedding.
That was a lack of light traffic that day.
We,
we kind of,
we toned down the amount of people that were invited to town that weekend.
Yeah.
Cheap flights.
Like it was pretty,
yeah.
A lot of almost free hotels.
Really?
Yeah. They went back. Free ice cream back free ice cream free ice cream free candy yeah sounds great it was a lousy wedding you know
it's all right yeah hitler dying of course we're dying dude that's a good one loved it sean jordan
time for your second pick uh the first indoor shopping mall and then subsequent malls malls
dude that's a good one yeah when were malls invented oh i did look it up it was early it
was like it was uh it was in a dinah minnesota i remember so i don't know if that had anything to
do with mall rats but uh let me look it up again it should be on my recent searches but uh i'm
gonna let me just guess i'm gonna say to say the 50s, late 50s.
It says Southdale Center is a shopping mall located in Edina, Minnesota, a suburb of the Twin Cities.
It was opened in 1956 and is both the first and oldest fully enclosed climate-controlled shopping mall in the United States of America.
Yeah.
I don't know if that's the Mallrats Mall, but I've been to the mall in Edino and it's the Mallrats Mall. So I think I've been to this mall, but I just love malls, man.
I love a huge covered center of commerce. You can hang out. I went to the mall yesterday
and I saw some kids, some teenagers sitting on a couch in a Nordstrom or not a Nordstrom,
a Macy's furniture store. You know how they have those like little one-offs of Macy's?
They were just sitting on the couch
and I saw the dude that worked there
just stink eyeing him from 40 feet away.
But what's he going to say?
You can sit on the couch.
Oh, it just was tight.
Malls just rule.
Everything about them.
I love everything about a mall.
It was designed to challenge
the car-centric culture
that was rising in the 1950s.
Driving from A to B to go shopping, man.
Yeah.
Instead, knocking it all out at once.
Give me the mall over Christmas.
I'll eat.
I'll get a coffee.
I love, I just, I just love everything about the mall.
I get my steps in at the mall when it's cold out.
Oh, I go poke around.
Now that the beige wave is fully back, I'm dying to buy a beige sweatshirt.
And I just, I haven't found the right one. I go to back, I'm dying to buy a beige sweatshirt. And I just,
I haven't found the right one.
I go to the mall once a week looking for a beige sweatshirt.
The beige wave.
You called it by the way,
David,
David called it three,
four years ago.
I think I was talking about the one in the nineties,
but yeah,
there was,
you were,
I'm just saying like,
I never heard the beige wave before.
And now it's fully beige wave.
I don't think it was a term.
Yeah. I'm saying you made it up.
I should have said coined it.
I went to a mall yesterday.
I had a great time.
Oh, man.
It's never a disappointment.
Yeah.
I'm never bummed.
Worked at a mall for years.
See, I never worked at the mall.
I always wanted to work at a mall, like fast times.
I always wanted to do whatever.
Teenage job.
Now I can't because it's a little too high stakes.
Oh, so great, man.
You flirt with the hostess at Johnny Rockets, get a discount on some chili cheese fries on your lunch break.
Like, oh, what a time.
Give a little head nod to the people at Hot Dog on a Stick.
Where'd you work in the mall?
I worked at The Gap.
I worked at the Raider Image.
And I worked at Oakley.
I knew you worked at Oakley.
I knew you worked at Oakley. I still have so at Oakley. I knew you worked at Oakley.
I still have so much useless sunglass now.
I bet you moved units at Oakley.
Dude, I fucking dominated sales at Oakley.
You dropped that on us in Vegas that you worked at Oakley.
That's right.
I would have loved to have seen that.
I would love to see a highlight reel.
It was great, and we talked about this on Cinephobes practice episodes.
But they were trying to be so…
October 2024.
They were trying to be so different.
So they told us when someone walks in,
you greet them with,
Hi, how the fuck you doing?
No, they did not tell you that.
I swear to God, that's part of the training.
And they were like,
Oh, I want to have some fun in here.
Get some sports equipment.
So, like, I would just dribble a basketball
around the cases and stuff.
And, like, we had, like, Nerf footballs.
We had all kinds of shit
that we would just do to, like, pass the time.
You would have got your hooks in me.
Dude, I know so much useless information
about sunglasses,
sunglass technology,
just everything
that has never left me.
You know, they still make those aviators
from Maverick.
If anyone out there
still works at Oakley
and you get a discount,
hit me up.
I want to get them,
but they're like 200 bucks.
I can't justify that.
This was the thing
of how you also run the mall.
How many shoes
do you have in your garage?
I have a lot of pairs
of shoes in the garage.
No aviators though.
No aviators.
The ones you would wear
every day.
We get 75% off.
75% off.
But we had a limited number of sunglasses
that we could buy every year.
But 75% off.
Which was 60.
What was the number?
I think it was around,
I think it was either 16 or 20 pair a year.
Damn, that's a lot of oldies.
So you would get towards the end of the year
and you're like,
I got five pairs left if anybody wants to.
Did you ever have wraparounds?
Want to make a deal here.
You ever have wraparounds?
I never had them, but we had them for sure.
Of course.
We sold a lot.
You ever get the thuds?
The thumps?
What were the thumps?
Oh, dude, I was there when the thump came out.
It was a party.
What are those?
Oh, my God.
It was a party.
I met little John because of the Oakleys.
Oh, by the way.
Because he was sponsored by us.
Shane Battier
had a basketball shoe from Oakley.
What?
Yes.
Shane the weird head Battier had a basketball shoe?
A basketball shoe.
Sponsored by Oakley.
That's sold three,
right?
Well, I had one of them, so at least four.
Whoa.
That's so sick. Sean, the thumbs to the Oakleys that had a had one of them, so at least four. Ha! Whoa! Yeah. That's so sick.
Sean, the thumbs of the Oakleys
that had headphones built into them, dude.
Yeah.
They had a little MP3 player in there.
Why did those go away?
I gotta ask.
Because AirPods.
Too powerful?
iPhones, AirPods, like, yeah.
They were too powerful.
They made the wearer too powerful,
and it threatened...
Pretty good quality of speakers at the time.
Pretty good quality.
The world governments got together and said
we can't allow this to happen or a beautiful
revolution will happen. Tell you this, without
malls, the Oakley store never would have shined
the way that it did. Much like lids
would never have shined the way that it currently
shines. I mean, a lot of stores
needed malls. Still need
malls. Absolutely. Yeah, man.
Just malls. I just love them all.
Can you imagine like,
I'm like,
I'm not going to drive
to an Oakley store.
Nobody.
Do you see them sometimes
you go to like San Francisco,
you're down on the wharf
and they have like
a standalone Oakley store
and you're like,
what?
Yeah.
I will walk into a foot action,
but I'm not like parking.
No.
No, you're not specifically going.
I'm never going.
I'm like,
I better leave the comfort of my home for a
foot action today yeah it's got to be with that's the appeal is like you'll go to if there's 10 of
those in one place that's the appeal and an escalator and a fountain and a massage chair
anyway david time for your second pick oh and this is not like uh this is not like a pro or a con.
This is just like, what an amazing, like, what a wild thing we did.
I'm taking the birth control pill.
Oh, yeah.
That's just like, holy shit, what's going on?
Yeah.
That is.
That's like, it's bugged out, really.
Everything about it is very wild to me it also feels like
this weird like of all the things people do what uh what a playing god type of you know what i mean
it's just like it's really wild and it's very fucked up you know when you look at it and it's
like we just do that like condoms have been around forever and they were around and it's like we just do that like crazy. Condoms have been around forever and they
were around and it's just like
I have to imagine a bunch of dudes were like, nah
this sucks. I'm not feeling this.
Let's figure out a way. Yeah, what are you some milk
man? To not have to wear these.
Now what's that
word you were saying? A condom?
Oh.
It's like a nicer apartment.
It's like so you know you have an apartment it's like a nicer apartment it's like so you know you have an apartment it's like a nicer apartment
you can buy it's like an apartment it's an apartment that you buy okay you buy you can
like buy a condom and like you stay in your condom you know it's a little bit more upscale
gotcha some people put them on their dick but yeah i mean most of it is just an apartment yeah
it's just birth control's bananas dude dude. It's amazing for so many.
I mean, there were a lot of men who just would refuse to wear condoms,
and then women would turn into pregnancy factories over and over and over again.
And a lot of people have terrible periods,
and the birth control bill would allow women who would be crippled by their periods
to not have to deal with that as well.
It's wild what we're capable of.
It's yeah.
When you want to be capable of it, like the people, the smart people, when they really
want to figure something out, they figure it out.
They sure figure it out.
Totally amazing.
I'm on a pill right now that makes my blood pressure go down.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Fucking amazing.
They figure that out too.
Thank you.
Think if you were,
if you were the first person,
how many generations of you
would there need to be
before somebody
like started to
chisel away
at figuring out
how to invent something like
blood pressure medication?
What's the first step?
If you were like,
if you want to go
and make blood.
Or is it just me
reproducing my budding?
Oh, that's a good question.
Yeah, you're like a flower.
You can stay married to Dana,
so it's just crazy to think like...
If Dana and I had a kid,
there's a 50% chance that baby could contribute,
and a 50% chance that baby
will be teaching improv workshops.
Just shocking that some people end up
like chiseling away at cures for cancer and then i don't know
that i just don't i don't even know how you go down that road it's i know it's teaching in college
and all that stuff but just wild i had a friend who once thought that he invented jalapeno poppers
in like 2004 yeah so it's kind of the opposite of what you're talking about we swear to god
was it a penicillin thing like he did it on accident at home at home? No, he was just like, he was trying to figure out
how to not have a real job.
He was like, oh, maybe I'll like,
maybe I'll like make like,
invent a new snack?
Maybe I'll like make like bar foods
and sell it to bars around Sacramento.
And I'm like,
yeah, like you don't know how to cook,
but sure, that's something we could do.
And then he was like,
yeah, what about like these like
deep fried like stuffed jalapeno?
And I'm like, that's a jalapeno popper. He's what no i was like dude they're everywhere like you could go to an apple piece
one time like that it's a jalapeno busto so yeah don't don't get it confused these are bustos
my daughter's dating a jalapeno busto are bustos. I don't think I've ever
heard the word busto.
That is better.
Because you can do
all kinds of bustos.
before poppers any day.
Yeah.
Hey, either way,
it's a weird party.
Yeah.
Well, it's half bustos,
half poppers.
You know what I mean?
If we could just get them to talk,
it's really going to turn out.
Never ending bustos
sounds like a bad promotion.
Never ending bustos
is why we had to invent
the birth control pill.
Yeah, yeah.
We got bottomless bustos on Tuesday.
It's a pretty good pill.
All these Irish Catholics just bustoing all over the place.
Bustoing.
Right.
You know, I've heard another thing about the pill that I think this is right.
This is from memory.
But, like, it used to be that women would be pregnant all the time because there was such a low infant mortality or high infant mortality rate.
Kids would die.
And so to continue the species, women would basically just, on an animal level, be pregnant all the time.
And once that stopped happening so much and then women were like, well, I don't want to have 15 kids.
I guess you're not supposed to have your period that often.
I guess you're not supposed to have your period that often.
Biologically, that was never meant to happen.
So that also contributed to higher cancer rates, I think, too.
So it's really a miracle pill in a number of levels because it makes your body think you're pregnant.
It's wild.
Here's what podcasting is.
Four dudes talking about the pill.
Yeah.
Just dropping knowledge about the pill.
Just getting to the bottom. Something I take daily. We all take them as feminists. We all take the pill. Yeah. Just dropping knowledge about the pill. Just getting to the bottom.
Something I take daily.
We all take them as feminists.
We all take the pill.
Ally.
We're going to take another short break
and then we're going to come back
and talk about true crime.
This episode of All Fantasy Everything
is brought to you by Babbel.
If you want to learn a new language,
the best way is to uproot your entire life. You drop
everything you're doing, just go to a brand new country, you figure it out from there.
But this isn't the talented Mr. Ripley, all right? You're not Jason Bourne. You can't do that. Two
Damon movies. I'm out here. Obviously, you're not ready for that, but you still want to learn a new
language because everyone in the world knows new languages. They know multiple languages, and we all only know one. Get it done with Babbel. Babbel is going to help you the quickest way
possible. You speak like a whole new you when you got Babbel. It's a science-backed language
learning app, and it's going to get you talking fast. It's science-backed. What else do you want?

over 200 language experts. And they're ready to get you talking in three weeks, ready to get you
speaking a new language. I should say speaking a new language. You don't talk a language.
Anyway, talking is the key to really knowing any language. You have to. You got to do it.
You got to be saying it out loud. And Babbel, they have tools. They have tools on the app where you can speak
the language. They'll help you with your accent. There's things where on the app, they will talk

Welcome back to All Fantasy Everything.
Already in progress.
It is time for
Zach Harper's second and third picks.
This pick of mine
started January 19th, 1946.
It spanned decades.
11 Grammys, 50 nominations,
Lifetime Achievement Award.
Oh, yeah.
It is the one and only Dolly Parton
oh yeah
I think 9 to 5
is one of the most
slept on movies ever
she's fantastic in that
is it slept on?
yeah man
like no one talks about it enough
that's a great movie
it doesn't get enough shine
for sure
yeah
I thought it was like
an iconic movie
I don't know if I've ever seen it
I think it was at the time
I just don't think
it's endured in that way but that's a great movie I still feel like know if I've ever seen it. I think it was at the time. I just don't think it's endured in that way, but that's
a great movie. I still feel like I know
a lot of Dolly fans, like a lot of people
in my life.
Yeah, that's fair.
Dolly Parton's just the best. Like, you guys have talked
about her so many times on so many different episodes
of AFV.
Dude, the iciest story in the world. Her manager
said she couldn't go hang
out with the boys one night,
so she wrote Jolene and I Will Always Love You in the same night.
That shit's crazy, dude.
Two of the best songs there are.
Takes me three days to write power rankings.
She wrote those two songs in one night.
I don't return texts.
Exactly.
Just fucking.
A lot of times I have to go back and wipe again.
So, yeah.
She's a massive philanthropist.
She's that tree.
Massive philanthropist.
Like, just one of the greatest people to ever exist.
Just donates books everywhere.
Has her own theme park.
Come on, dude.
How many people have their own theme park?
We should all go to Dollywood.
I'd go to Dollywood.
Oh, that'd be dank.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It'd be real dank.
What is that, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee?
Is that where that is? Something crazy like that? Yeah. Yeah, man. Dollywood. Oh, that'd be dank. Yeah. Yeah. It'd be real dank. What is that? Pigeon Forge, Tennessee? Is that what that is?
Something crazy like that?
Yeah.
What is that?
Yeah, man.
Dolly Parton.
She's just the greatest.
I love her.
What's your favorite Dolly song?
Jolene.
I just think it's such an incredible song.
About a bank teller, right?
Is that about a bank teller?
I guess so.
It was like a bank teller.
Her husband would go and like, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think that's what it is.
Always.
I mean, that song is also a testament
to like, there's always a hotter,
you know what I mean?
There's always a bigger fish,
you know, like,
because if Dolly Parton is intimidated
by some other girl,
you know.
Yeah.
Well, and that's the thing too,
where I just,
you mentioned her philanthropy
and how given she is.
And now I know you guys don't subscribe to this
idea, but she did help with the
COVID-19 vaccine.
You're talking about the street virus known as COVID-19
that a lot of the masses have believed
in? Right. Yeah. No.
Oh, are you talking about that hysteria
inducement tactic?
Must be talking about that
media trick that was played on the whole world.
That one, yeah.
She had a vaccine for that hysteria.
They put that out because it was like all,
it was trying to distract from Hunter Biden, right?
I think so.
Yeah, I think that's what it was. And of course, to keep people off, still off that email search for Hillary.
Hillary.
Yeah.
Hillary Clinton.
Dolly Parton.
She's great.
Fantastic pick. And your third picklly Parton. She's great. Fantastic pick.
And your third pick?
The OJ trial.
Wow.
Holy buckets, dude.
That is...
I mean, I still remember
watching that stuff in class.
I guess I was in seventh grade?
Seventh grade, eighth grade?
I was in sixth grade.
Are we the same age?
I was in sixth grade
when they dropped the verdict.
That can't be right. God, I was like... Maybe seventh? they dropped the verdict that can't be right maybe 7th?
how many years were you in 6th grade?
got em
here's something that I don't ever want to look up on the internet
because I don't know, I think it's right
but the most pizzas that were ever ordered for takeout
or delivery in one day was the Chase
that's just a random fact
that I could see
being right, but I never look it up because
it would take away the novelty.
I also interrupted the NBA
Finals. Rockets, Knicks.
Really? Like they shut the game off?
No, no, no. They had it picture
in picture. Crazy.
Yeah. That shit was buck,
man. Yeah, man. just think about like all the
all the content we've gotten off the oj trial like that was comes it was such a it was such a
you know it's the trial of the century i think that was the first time i really like had heard
that um with everything like just that was such a it was really the first televised trial right
the first right was there ever like a real big televised trial before that?
I think it kind of, not maybe.
I couldn't speak to that.
I don't know if it kicked to that.
Like it didn't kick off like that 24-hour news cycle,
but it galvanized it.
It was definitely, it was like, yeah,
it was this perfect moment of like, of like 90s modernism
where like, you know what I mean?
You had like celebrity and then you had like this media machine
to feed and all this stuff. And then you had like celebrity and then you had like this media machine to feed
and all this stuff.
And then you had like race
and then you had like all this stuff,
like feeding into it all at the same time.
And it just like exploded.
I had, I've said this before.
I had OJ Pogs.
I had like, that I bought at the Oregon State Fair.
Oh, pre, pre-trial.
Quit saying, quit saying.
All right.
OJ Pogs post trial would be nasty
no no no
post trial
post trial
post trial
OJ Pogs
or like during
mid trial
I had a
Marsha Clark
Pog
and an OJ Simpson
Pog
I had a
Judge Lance Edo Pog
and the Slammer
had the Bronco Chase
on the back
like
that is
insane
Pogs, dude.
Can I change my pick to that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was fun.
That's crazy.
It was all-consuming.
It was, there was like,
there probably wasn't a magazine
in the 90s
that you couldn't find
OJ Simpson trial coverage on.
You know what I mean?
Like Sports Illustrated,
of course, Time, of course.
But there was probably
like a Better Homes and Gardens
where they went to like
Marsha Clark's house
and they were like, how do you need like a low impact garden for when you're
busy at work remember they had the dancing judgetos on like leno or something like that
like it was on every late night talk show every single and it was a double murder yeah yeah
two for the price of one yeah Yeah. Crazy. It's crazy.
Yeah, man.
The OJ trial.
Yeah.
One of the seminal moments.
Big trial.
Some big trials in the 1900s.
They were massive.
Yeah.
But that was the trial of the 1900s.
Of the 1900s.
David,
time for your third pick.
I'm taking the first ever national broadcast NBC.
Wow. The idea of a national broadcast company, NBC. Wow. The idea of a national broadcast company that puts everybody on the same page at the same time.
That's like, that's like, we're all living underneath that.
Like, what a major jump forward for everything.
Because it was radio, right?
It started as radio.
It's just, it's just, it's just so, it affected everything so much
and put people on the same page more than it feels like newspapers and stuff did,
right? Because they were a lot, it was a lot less like individualized.
And the newspapers were all, I mean, they were all owned by like media titans who were,
you know what I mean? Like each exercising their own, you know, you had like the Hearst agenda,
you know, and then you had like William Randolph Hearst.
And then you have like whoever owned like the New York Times or the Chicago Tribune,
like these rich families who had money and other things were always exercising, you know,
their like power through that.
And then, yeah, I think television for like a long time, there was at least a central
narrative.
Yeah.
Yeah. so please excuse
my ignorance here. So before a broadcasting
company, what was going on
on TV?
What was before TV, though,
right? Well,
NBC was before TV? Yeah, because
it was like radio. Did they not start on radio?
Yeah, they all started on radio. CBS.
Whoa, I didn't know that.
Oh, I didn't realize that was you, Matt.
I thought you meant like before TV was radio.
But even within radio, NBC was the first one.
Yeah.
Oh, that's crazy.
I did not know that.
NBC and CBS both started in 1924.
Oh, broadcasting.
And then NBC started in 24, CBS in 27.
God, just a lot of prohibition talk.
Like what a crazy concept at the time.
And you know what I mean?
Yeah.
It's like, it's so crazy what that does for everything.
I'm saying crazy a lot because I'm very well educated.
But the magnitude of it is really, it really is just, wow, what a game changer.
At the time, like, it's kind of like the audacity of like well we'll
just have something people can listen to at all times for everybody for everybody yeah this whole
giant and then something you can talk if you can go like yeah yeah it's nuts well you would go and
you would sit down and you would watch like edward r murrow you know what i mean like on cbs and
everyone was like yeah this is the guy who tells us the way the world is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I'm sure there was, I mean, like speaking of like bias, I'm sure there was also bias, you know, probably in the direction of the status quo or whatever.
But at least there was an agreed upon reality, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like, cause the splintering of all that kind of stuff seems to be its own problem as well. You know what I mean? Yeah. It's like, because the splintering of all that kind of stuff
seems to be its own problem as well.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
So it's just like the initial, and just, yeah,
what a landmark thing to do.
It's crazy.
Sean Jordan, your third pick.
The first movie with sound.
Oh, Talkies? Yeah, the first talkie that i believe the first one
was jalapeno crunch it was jalapeno yeah if you guys are a talkies family purple the uh yeah the
first talkie man i you know what was it you know i should have written all this how do you not know
how do you come in with the first talkie and then you don't even know it's the jazz singer?
Was it in Pittsburgh?
Were you skateboarding for two hours before this?
What did you do for the two hours before that, you jamoke?
I made this list last night for hours.
I really sat.
My daughter's dating a jazz singer.
That's great.
That's great.
I mean, that was was I believe that movie
was racist
I never
I never knew that movie
was just
a shortened version
of moving
like move
a talkie that moves
a moving picture
yeah I didn't make
when I heard that
I was like oh
it's like when you
like that Regan joke
where he hears about
the walkie talkie
like look at me
I walkie and I talkie
and it just made me feel funny saying movie now because it sounds like such a weird pedestrian term.
It's kind of a dumb word.
Yeah.
What are the movies?
What are they doing?
Well, they're going to be moving.
Yeah.
I like picture.
Personally, I like the standees.
Yeah.
A standee talkie does me just fine.
They don't need to be moving.
You guys are standee talkies, aren't you? I'm a standee talkie does me just fine they don't need to be moving you guys are standy talkies aren't you
I'm a city talkie
I'm a city talkie right now
definitely a city talkie
I just
I don't know
personally
I just movies
they just rule
I mean I'm not
splitting the item
by bringing that up
everybody likes movies
every now and then
you'll meet somebody
who says they don't like movies
and I just want to
ball them up like garbage
and be like what are you doing to me it's like saying you don't what does that says they don't like movies and I just want to ball them up like garbage and be like,
what are you doing to me?
It's like saying,
you don't,
I mean,
you don't like movies.
I never,
I never got it.
Somebody trying to sound cool.
Like,
Oh,
I don't really watch TV,
which is fine.
If you don't,
it's sometimes like a focus thing.
I think people,
some people find it hard to focus on.
Yeah,
for sure.
The whole idea that you wouldn't,
you wouldn't sit through a two and a half hour movie,
but you would watch an eight part miniseries or something like that.
Like that kind of thing. Cause it's like broken dogs. Yeah because it's like yeah i mean i've known people who just i have friends
now who just don't they just kind of can't if you don't watch tv a lot it is kind of jarring you
know yeah yeah like if you ever had a time where you just didn't watch it for a long time i remember
i when i went to africa we didn't ever watch TV. And then coming back home,
you, like, you know,
didn't watch TV for, like, four months.
And then come back home,
and it's, like, stressful.
It kind of hurts your eyes
when you readjust to it, right?
It hurts your eyes.
It's fast.
It, like, really burns the shit
into your brain.
Like, it's like, I get it.
It's fast.
It is.
It's like, the pace of it
is very frantic.
Like, commercials are, like, that's, like, a frantic pace. Do you ever go very frantic like commercials are like that's like a
frantic pace do you ever go back and like you'll watch like i don't know like something with
commercials from like the 80s or even before the you know the 70s 60s there's the commercials are
like slow you know they're like like the commercials ooh, delicious Angus beef raised on a farm in Idaho.
Real slow-moving Folgers commercial.
And then now it's like,
if you don't buy OxyClean,
I'm going to fuck your wife.
Right, exactly.
Everything used to be so much calmer than it is now.
You know what's crazy?
That is a good reason to buy OxyClean, though.
I mean, that's a good strategy.
Yeah.
You got to come home just like, why'd you buy that OxyClean though. I mean, that's a good strategy. You gotta come home
just like, why'd you buy that OxiClean?
You know. You know why.
You know why I got it.
We'll use it. We'll use it.
But that's not why I bought it.
In a twist of fate,
like now sometimes I will sit
and watch YouTube videos
of commercials. Old commercials.
It used to be the least favorite thing about watching TV
were the commercials.
Yeah, I've done that before.
I haven't done that.
It's pretty fun watching commercials sometimes.
Maybe take some of that commercial watching time
and use it to research your picks.
Well, did you or did you not research it for me just now?
That's a great point.
And now I feel useful.
You know what that is?
That's a good friend.
Yeah, man, movies. Movies. Moving pictures.
Moving pictures.
Time for my third and my fourth picks.
With my third pick, look, they can't all be serious.
I'm going to take Fabio getting hit by a goose
on a roller coaster.
1999.
That's one of the great...
Just got in there.
Just got in there.
Just closed out the decade on a hot streak.
What a time, man.
Fabio, a man with a beautiful golden mane and pecs.
Like, you could free solo him.
Oh, my God, the guy was built.
You just get Fabio now.
Like, that's crazy.
What a weird movement that was, the Fabio situation.
In Italian, just Fabio in general is amazing yeah
the 90s he was he was on the cover of 1300 different romance novels he was yeah 1300.
now if you would have had to guess i would have guessed like 15. i would have been in the 40s at most. First 1,300, bro.
That's fucking crazy.
Yeah.
1,300.
Fabio, always glistening.
That's a lot of horse riding.
Pecs just popping.
Pecs popping like a jalapeno
blast out.
When I moved to Portland,
he was signing books
at a Fred Meyer one time.
Really, really threw me.
He held the pen
with his chest muscles, too.
I saw him at a Sweet Greens
on Sunset
last year, I think.
He looked great, man.
I think he had just come from a gym or something.
He looked amazing. I am having
what he's having. I don't care.
Whatever you order,
I'm yelling out two of those. I went behind
him and said, you go first. Sounds nice.
Make it twice. We'll take two of those.
March 31st,
1999.
Fabio is at the Bush Gardens
in Williamsburg, Virginia, to
celebrate the inauguration of Apollo's
Chariot, a new roller coaster.
It's called Apollo's Chariot?
Apollo's Chariot. He gets
in the first car right at the front.
Yeah, he has to. Our known Apollo.
Our known Apollo. He gets right in the front. Yeah, it has to. Our known Apollo. Our known Apollo.
He gets right in the front and center,
surrounded by local, it looks like,
models dressed in sort of Greek gear
and laurels to evoke the Apollo's chariot feel
of everything.
And the roller coaster goes 80 miles an hour
over a pond and then gets up to 85 miles an hour.
And as it's going 85 miles an hour over this pond, a bunch of geese are shocked by the
roller coaster, start flying.
And then one of them hits Fabio's face at 85 miles an hour.
Was he okay?
That's tough.
He was bleeding like crazy.
Yeah, he was bleeding like crazy.
I don't remember this at all.
He turned,
oh, so what happened
was the goose hit a camera
and then the camera shard
hit Fabio.
But no, it didn't.
Oh, no.
No.
No, that's what they want you to think.
He got goosed.
Yeah, that's to avoid PETA.
That's to avoid PETA.
Yeah, absolutely.
He knows where his bread is.
Sorry to say, Pix.
He knows where his,
I can't believe it's not
butter is breaded.
He is sitting in between,
he's in a blue shirt
and he is surrounded by four women in white dresses
and his face is covered in blood.
He's always surrounded by four women in white dresses.
They're dressed like Greek,
like, you know what I mean?
Like the Apollo's chariot thing.
This is insane.
Yeah.
And it's just one of the funniest.
Because it being kind of the last massive pop culture moment that Fabio had is so funny.
The whole Fabio story is amazing.
And then it's like, and how do we end this saga?
He gets hit by a goose on a roller coaster.
Hilariously.
Perfect.
So that is my third pick.
And then my fourth pick,
I'm going to take
Walking on the Moon.
That's a good one.
Yeah.
Sure.
Let me sort of play this both ways.
Either you believe
that we walked on the moon,
that the Americans
in a space race
with the Russians
launched a rocket
in this decade and went to the moon, landed on it.
And then Neil Armstrong got out, stepped on the moon, Buzz Aldrin after him.
Michael Collins had to stay in the lander.
What a bummer.
I would be.
Seriously.
And you believe that that happened in 63, 64, 65 years?
64, right?
Oh, sorry.
Is it from like 1903 until the first flight
and then we landed on the moon in what, 1969?
That sounds right.
I think Moonland.
I thought it was 64.
I don't know why I'm thinking that, but.
That's when they started production.
Yeah, July 20th.
They built the soundstage and everything.
Well, here's the other thing.
Either in 66 years, we made it from the very first flight to man walking on the fucking, here's the other thing. Either in 66 years,
we made it from the very first flight
to man walking on the fucking moon,
as the onion said,
or the government and Hollywood got together
and faked it.
As they do.
In a sound studio.
Either way, baby, it's impressive.
It just speaks to two of the things
that we're best at as a country.
Because we either went to the moon and stepped on it.
Or.
Stepped on it.
Yeah.
Fuck your couch.
Or we tricked enough people into thinking we did.
Either way, it's great.
The Russians are getting pretty close.
And we're not that close
what can we do we can go to burbank hey call stanley kubrick yeah
if we did it's fucking great if we faked it i wonder how many people know
how many like 30 how many people know that we actually faked it that'd be a fun little
that's the thing about it is if we faked it we'd know i feel like we know by now
i feel like i just have to believe it it's like do you just i we'd know i feel like we know by now i feel like i just have to believe
it it's like do you just i don't know i'm like yeah sure what why would i not believe it i guess
what why not you gotta question everything i question nothing man i don't i don't care
well i'm questioning i uh i question you i question Sean. What is your fourth pick? The Dairy Queen Blizzard.
Yeah, dude. That's a great pick.
That's a great pick.
Oh my God. It hits every
time. It's always...
I just got a few the other night on the way home, and
they're just... For me and other
people, I didn't get a few for me, but
they're just... Hey!
You're all right. They're doing the thing again
finally where they tip it upside down. They didn't do that for a long time, and I would get so bummed out when you get one and they just hand it's just always, you're all right. They're doing the thing again. Finally, where they tip it upside down.
They didn't do that for a long time.
And I would get so bummed out when you get one and they just hand it to you.
They've always done that.
Nah, well, not in Sioux Falls down, down the side.
There was one a block and a half from my, my like teenage house.
And for the longest time, those lazy teenagers did not tip it upside down.
And it used to bum me out, but that might've been a Sioux Falls.
Yeah.
They couldn't figure out a blizzard in Sioux falls that you couldn't tip over.
Didn't January Jones work at a dairy queen in Sioux falls.
I believe she worked at a Julius in the mall.
So dairy queen adjacent, but, uh, yeah, two of my picks, man.
Cause I was going to say like, I've after,
after January Jones has worked at an ice cream place,
that's a kind of peak for like dairy Queens.
Yeah.
That's going to be tough to be.
Yeah.
That's not, you were like, why would you even? You want me to do this?
You want me to still do this thing after, you know, January Jones worked here?
Let's be adults.
Yeah.
The Blizzard, real simple.
I don't know.
Just just what's your what's your go to?
Yeah, that's what I want to know.
Strawberry cheese quake.
No shit.
Whoa.
Immediately.
That feels exotic for you.
Wow.
Immediately.
Yeah.
Let's go around the horn. Isaac, chime in
if you got one. I'm a Heathbar
boy or Butterfinger, depending on which
they have. They don't always have both. What's your favorite Blizzard,
though? I know you're a Heathbar boy. I'm a Heathbar
boy from way back. You got beat in when you were a 6th grade.
Yeah, the Heathbar boys are in town.
I like the, but I like that
kind of salty, like, Heath or Butterfinger,
like, whichever, the Chico sticks sort of flavor.
Mine's a Butterfinger for sure. Every single
time, always hits. Oh, I'm boring.
I'm an Oreo guy.
No, that's not boring at all.
That's not boring at all, yeah.
You know what they got right now, David, is an Oreo
brownie one. It's like a new seasonal
one or something. It is ill.
I got it for Laura.
Isaac is saying DQ wasn't really that much of a
thing in Los Angeles, And I will echo that.
I don't really see him around here. I don't think I see him here
either. It's more of a tasty free city.
I think Zach found one.
I think we drove a ways to it.
If anyone found one, it would have been Zach.
I think it was like receder
or something crazy.
There's not IU no better than me,
but I can't think of any in LA
that I ever saw. I would drive to Reseda
for a Dairy Queen
can we get a Sonic here
unless they're problematic
and I didn't know about it
I don't know
have you been to a Sonic
there's no Sonics here
I don't care for Sonic
they're okay
what
it's okay
what am I getting out of it
it's kind of bland
you gotta know what you gave it.
It's for the ice cream stuff, I feel like.
Oh, do they have good ice cream? I always thought they had
soda drinks.
They got their slushy drinks, yeah.
Their whole model is scarcity, it feels like.
When you see these commercials and you're like, ooh, I want that
because it's like novel, but definitely more
in like rural places.
Yeah, but then don't put
commercials in LA. Yeah, it is
weird. Okay.
Feels like that money could be spent elsewhere.
It's a national broadcasting company.
You can't get a crony.
There's a lot of equivalents in Los Angeles.
You could get whatever you could get.
I need chili cheese tots. I need a slushy
drink. I need a crony. That's what I need.
The blizzard. Yeah, the closest I can think
is to Fuddruckers that used to be in um
yeah blizzard what was that my fourth pick fourth pick excellent david top of your fourth pick
uh does this work at the 78 rpm vinyl record oh i think so yeah records before that but when they
went to 78 i guess is when it like mass, went mass all over the world,
like where it became, and that's like huge.
You know what I mean?
That's incredible.
Yeah.
I will, I don't currently, and I've tried,
and I never will be able to understand how that works.
I don't understand how any of it
works, man.
Tape, record, CD, I don't get
any of it. I get how flight works.
Tape makes more sense to me,
I guess.
Putting the needle to the groove and having
that be sound? Because it's
like vibrations, right? So it's recorded
into the groove.
Yeah, but that's just, you already made me like want to like look at a mad magazine or something to feel back down to earth.
It just is crazy to me.
Is that also the first time music was portable where you could be like, hey, this band that you couldn't otherwise hear?
I think it was the beginning of it being mass produced in that way.
That's awesome.
But records were, I think, right?
Yeah.
of it being mass produced in that way that's awesome but records were i think right yeah yeah and just the idea of like how we consume music now where it's like the idea of getting
a record or a cd and listening to it 150 times just alone in your room it didn't work like that
before unless you like knew how to play this shit yeah you know what i'm saying it like changes the
way we consume music you were like you had to
be like eric will you play camptown races again again yeah yeah again again there is something
we said about how i feel like maybe our generations would feel music a little more or like it would
mean a little more because you had to listen to the whole like i could fast forward or whatever
but i never did i just listened to the whole song i never listened to the 30 seconds i liked and then
got bored and skipped to another song like i'd listen to the whole side of all eyes on me
every single time and then now you can skip or you can just kind of dance around it just i don't know
it made me appreciate it more people are still i think i don't know like It's made me appreciate it more. People are still, I think, I don't know, like, I think like
12-year-olds are still really...
They're listening to every Olivia Rodrigo
song. You know what I mean? Like, they're still like...
That's what I wonder. Like, do people still listen
to the whole album? I think so.
I listen to that whole Miley album.
That new Miley album is fucking fire,
dude. That's the first whole album I've listened to in a while.
It was great. Weirdly, I think it's changed the way
that people who grew up with CDs listen to music almost more maybe than it's changed kids.
Like, do you ever still like plop on a whole CD or a whole album?
Hmm.
I have.
If it's like something I'm really interested in, yeah, but for the most part, or I rarely listen to an album in one sitting anymore.
Yeah.
If I do, I'll like two different walks or something
but i do it like homework almost now where i'm like yeah i want i have to get this yeah i'm like
i have to listen to this whole big thief album you know because people say it's great and then
i like make myself do it yeah there was that whatever the us drake album i did where i just
like i'm gonna go on a walk however long this album is uh records bro it's weird because there's no it doesn't look
like there's any mechanical it's just a needle in a groove it doesn't there's no moving robot
parts i can't if it was magic and they were like well we can't tell people magic's real so we have
to design people are ready for that it's the dust bowl we have to design a thing that like
people will be like not ask any follow-up questions because it seems complicated
use use magic for other shit they'd be like not ask any follow-up questions because it seems complicated. What if it's like a needle in grooves?
Use magic for other shit.
They'd be like, no, no, it's only record magic.
Only music magic is real. It's weird.
But anyway. I don't think I'm
mixing up my HBO softcore
porn movies, but I think there was something called
like Sensation or Sensations
or something like that in like the 90s
where part of the movie
was they were able to like use like
CD and record technology for playing things
to like go over a ceramic pot.
And then like it was like unlocking
and playing the noises that were made
that were going on,
like the conversation going on
when these artifacts were being created.
Oh, is that like in...
Is that what that movie is?
I don't know.
I might be conflating different softcore porn movies,
but I'm pretty sure that was the case.
And then could they watch Sex and Rome?
No, you just hear it.
You just heard Sex and Rome.
So you would hear the potters making stuff.
But they'd flash back to it.
I don't want to hear Roman sex.
They'd probably flash back to it I don't want to hear Roman probably flash back
to it yeah I don't think I don't think that would
be great for anyone to hear Roman
sex why not oh you do it
to me I want the more time
no weren't they perverts I'm talking about like
the no weren't they
the Romans Romans
not like like this the
Caesars and stuff didn't they like little boys and
stuff am I crazy I thought I was making.
Yeah, but they still got pedophiles now too.
Yeah, it's still a thing.
Look it up on the internet.
No, no.
I want my algorithms to stay street fights.
And now a new one is people freaking out on planes.
That's a big one I get.
I know a lot of people get it.
Oh, I get that a lot too.
Boy, do I get that a lot.
I watch every single second of it.
Every single second. I'm not that interested
because it's usually like part four and five
and I'm like, just get to the thing, man.
I'm not interested in the aftermath.
I skip until I see bodies flying on the ground.
I don't want to hear the write-up,
but I skip until I see hands getting thrown.
Mine's a lot of menswear.
Mine's a lot of Ian Carmelo.
He's all over it right now. I'm trying i'm fucking trying i appreciate thank you to everyone who has been like sharing the clips and
following me on those various things i uh was recently told by a comedy club or by my agent
that like comedy clubs are like they're like yeah they're only gonna pay your feature x amount of
money and if you don't like it they'll get somebody with a big following on TikTok.
Oh, yeah.
That's the game.
I was like, I guess I better start posting some shit on TikTok.
Yeah, I mean, you got to play your feature out of pocket.
That's how they do that.
Yeah, those days are over.
And you're a gentleman, my friend, and you did.
I did.
You did.
And I will again.
And the game is the game and I just
want to be in it. And we're
going to have fun in Vancouver. None of this is
about what happened in the 20th century. This is 21st
century, baby. Zach Harbert, it's time for you
to be a fourth in your final picks.
Now, Sean
took the mall.
Sean Jordan. Yeah.
But can I take something that's in
the mall? Or does he just get all mall stuff?
I think I'm fine with it.
Let's hear it.
I don't like putting parameters out there, baby.
There is, or at the time, there was one place
you could get a novelty mug or a lava lamp
or a backpack that was shaped like Sonic the Hedgehog.
It's Spencer's Gifts.
Where they never stopped you from falling.
I'm taking Spencer's Gifts.
They never stopped you.
Big or small.
Yeah, I didn't
partake in those.
You remember going
and being like,
I'm going to go check out
the Nirvana posters real quick,
but I'm really going to look
at the Samuel Anderson posters.
They sold apartments

Yes, they sure did.
Yeah, just a whole
wall of posters

dude our buddy Tony
walked out of there
with one of those
you know how they had
those like
sandcastle volcano
crystal ball things
that were like
way big
like as big as a TV
and they were like
$300
no
they were like
they had the big
in the back
like dragon section
where it was just like
stuff that
drug dealers would have
on their mantle,
you know?
Okay.
Oh,
so you're like put your hand on it and like lightning would,
oh yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
Kind of just weird shit.
But one of them was like as big as a,
like a,
like a TV.
And our buddy Tony just picked it up and walked out with it.
Oh,
they didn't,
they didn't do it.
They didn't even look.
And then he just started doing that.
So he had like,
he had a lot of those at his house.
It was ridiculous. That's what you want. That's where like, he had a lot of those at his house. It was ridiculous.
That's what you want.
That's where you want your home decor from.
Well, you can get a geode.
Just random geodes.
Oh yeah, open it up.
They had all that stuff.
You can get adult gifts
with not being an adult, you know?
You get like little cards
with swear words in them and stuff.
You don't have to be a grown up.
The perfect stocking stuffer
if you celebrate Christmas.
The perfect place for that.
Is there a Spencer?
Like, do we know?
Is there like a...
It's Diana...
Princess Diana Spencer.
That's why her family had so much money.
Now Prince Harry is the heir
to the Spencer's gift fortune.
Max Spencer Adler.
Is he like...
I want him to be like a Willy Wonka
type of character.
He's just got a factory full of like novelty dildos and whatnot. Spencer Adler. Is he like, I want him to be like a Willy Wonka type of character.
He's just got a factory full of like novelty dildos and whatnot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's just being weird in there.
Come with me. I remember when Spencer's was like the neon sign.
They made the switch to like a graffiti garage environment recently,
but I remember when it was like,
Oh,
really? I thought you had some mileage right there. environment recently, but I remember when it was like a neon pink sun. Oh.
Really?
I thought you had some mileage right there that you weren't telling us all about.
Mollage?
I want to hear more than
this. I want
a Willy Wonka-ass movie about
Spencer from Spencer's Gifts.
Put Timothee Chalamet in that.
Dude, they did the origin story for the
Hot Cheetos. I think they could do it for Spencer that. Dude, they did the origin story for the Hot Cheetos.
I think they could do
it for Spencer's Gifts.
Just five kids.
I don't know about
you want to hear.
I don't know about
Tim as a young
Wonka.
I don't know.
I watched the trailer.
I don't know.
I just don't know
about that movie.
I don't know, man.
I don't know if I need
it.
I don't know if anyone
needs it.
I'm going to watch it.
I don't know if I need
it.
Here's the thing.
I think if this
picture is going no this says biology
it's probably not the the guy i'm looking for i was just gonna say the first image that came up on
on google image for max spencer adler and i thought it was like well tucci could play him
but i don't know if this is a tucci can play anybody yeah You might have to de-age Tucci to get him to play young Max Spencer Adler.
No, no, no.
I want it to be like
when they had
Frank Costanza
in the Korean War.
Oh, yeah.
Where it's just like,
it's just Jerry Stiller
at 70 years old
just in a uniform
in the flashback.
In the world.
Active in the world.
Yes.
And your final pick,
Zach Harbour.
Also mall related,
but it is
my favorite
board game of all time.
It is the board game
Mall Madness.
It is
the absolute best.
I've never heard
of Mall Madness.
Dude, my sister and I
used to play this
all the time. Did you get like a credit card? You get like, my sister and I used to play this all the time.
Did you get like a credit card?
You get like a credit card and you had to like buy certain things and get out of the mall first.
But there were times where like you would go to a store and you'd have to like push this button on this talking thing.
And it'd be like, oh, long line.
Try again later.
And they like you ruined your turn with that.
Whoa.
Yeah.
You have to go to the ATM and get money and stuff.
It was, oh my God, Mall of Madness was
the best. Sean, you
didn't play this game because the objective was to get out of the
mall fastest, and that's never been on your
agenda, dude. What the fuck?
Lock me in, baby.
You just intentionally lose
every time. Yeah.
Mall of Madness, the talking shopping spree
game. Oh, dude, I have it. You have it now? We can all play it. Yeah. Mall Madness, the talking shopping spree game. Oh, dude, I have it.
You have it now?
We can all play it.
Yeah.
We can all play it.
Let's play it.
Apparently, they didn't think
dudes went to the mall
when this game came out.
They sure didn't.
And tell you what,
my sister and I played that forever.
The only time we got along as kids
is when we played Mall Madness.
I just love your fight
and then your parents are like,
go to Bill Harper coming in. Go play Mall in to go play mall madness they got stores for everyone
here the i am coffin drug store you know so you go pick up the prescriptions is it i period m
period coffin they got yuppie puppies pets short circuit electronics you could go there novel idea
books frumps fashion boutique fork it over kitchen store,
hocus focus cameras.
Get out of town. Dingling phones?
Dingling phones. MT wallets, department store. MT wallets. Come on,
Milton Bradley.
I didn't even get it. If you wouldn't have said
it twice, I wouldn't have got it.
I wouldn't have got it at all.
Military technical wallets. It's a college you go to to learn how to be money management in the military.
Empty wallets, dude.
Amazing pick.
I've never played Mall Madness.
We should play it.
We should.
It's so good.
Get a bottle of wine and play Mall Madness.
There we go.
David Borey, time for your final pick.
I'm taking Michael Jordan.
God damn it.
That's a good one.
That's a good one.
Yeah. Yeah. final pick uh i'm taking michael jordan god damn that's a good one that's a good one yeah yeah just
to like elevate basketball to what it was to be one of you know he was one of the top three
most record in the world yeah to be a guy from north or north carolina and just just amazing man
what what what a thing to have done did the dunk contest with a chain out?
Nobody's ever looked cooler than that.
No.
Changed sportswear, athletic apparel forever.
Just one guy did all that playing basketball and being a pretty shrewd businessman it seems.
And not a peach to work with.
Shoes because of that man.
I bought hot dogs because of that man.
Gatorade, underwear.
Had a Hitler mustache for a while, all because of Michael Jordan. Ballpark hot dogs because that man gatorade underwear had a hitler mustache for a while all
because of michael jordan ballpark hot dogs yeah gotcha he he publicly oh yeah yeah good no please
please no i was just saying about that that idea of an athlete being like a worldwide icon i feel
like there there's always been that throughout history
but i don't know if it was ever to that level before him right i don't think no because i mean
like you know like muhammad ali was a massive deal that's probably the closest yeah but like
titles were always huge right yeah maybe some of those boxers from like back in the day yeah like jack johnson or
whoever had like but like not globally maybe quite as much right like you could have gone
under a rock in 1996 and said michael jordan and they know and they knew yeah yeah he also publicly
uh publicly denounced the actions of his son in dating Larsa Pippen. I did see that.
Finally.
The public statement we were all waiting for,
Michael Jordan.
Yeah.
Now you take a side.
How long did it take?
That took a long time.
I guess Larsa Pippen doesn't buy Snickers.
Marcus just gives them to her.
She's got a plug.
She's got the trophy room plug.
Michael Jordan.
Amazing pick.
That outfit he wore in Barcelona
in 1992.
I was just thinking about that the other day. That's so funny.
I was in the
Bed Bath & Beyond going out of business sale.
Great deals, by the way, guys.
Great deals. 60% off.
And I saw some sheets that looked like it
you should have gotten those
no I don't
do you have any sneaky Michael
no you would have weird dreams dude
poop dreams but weird dreams
poop dreams good movie
good movie
oh fuck what were we going to talk about
Barcelona
we were talking about Barcelona.
Bed Bath & Beyond.
His outfit.
No, his outfit.
60% off.
Larsa Pippen.
Oh, the other thing that, like, I know they talked, like, they touched on it briefly in the documentary, but, like, he was pre-rap, too, in a way that's very funny.
To imagine, like, him working out to just, like, real smooth R&B.
He notoriously doesn't like rappers.
No.
Yeah.
No, I remember, I think this was an on-court interview,
but there's a soundbite where he talks about his hype song pregame
is Anita Baker giving you the best that I got.
Yeah.
I vividly remember it.
That's what he was getting up with.
Come on.
I remember watching him in the last dance
where he was jamming to Kenny Loggins,
where you were like,
whoa,
I really did not know this guy.
No,
that should have been the first.
What you think,
you know,
I had no idea who this dude was.
Whoa,
what's going on?
Uh,
Sean Jordan,
Sean Jordan,
your final pick lasers,
bro.
Lasers. Lasers. Oh bro lasers what's it stand for
just lasers
so this dude Theodore
I thought his last name was Miami
but it's Maimon
it's got all the letters of Miami
so I was like what Theodore Miami
sounds like the guy who invented lasers
and key bumps
same night it was a Jolene situation he lasered a key Sounds like the guy who invented lasers. And key bumps. Same night.
It was a Jolene situation.
He lasered a key.
It was a Jolene, I will always love you situation.
By Miami.
Oh, Miami, my cheeks hurt.
He made the first laser
operate in May 1960
at the Hughes Research Laboratory in California
by shining a high-powered flash
lamp on a ruby rod
with a silver coated...
Ruby rod was there when the key bulb was invented.
Yeah, a.k.a. Chris Tucker
in the fifth element.
It's the only way to keep ruby rod there.
I just, I mean,
just lasers, there's Nick. It's probably
the most uneducated
I'm ever going to sound, but they're just...
No, man. Lasers are great.
Laser winners took over my elementary school.
Laser parties, laser tag.
I mean, just laser shit, dude.
It just rules.
Laser tag in 97?
Was there a better way to have fun?
Dude, I couldn't...
It's still awesome to me that you could just go
play actual...
Because we used to, whatever, when we were kids, just with our little, like, play shoot-em games or whatever.
But then you could be like, no, I did hit you because the laser said I did.
And the points on my gun say that I hit you a bunch.
And when we go play laser tag, it would, like, it would jack your adrenaline up.
Like, it really would be.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Like, I'd really get shaky and be, like, doing action rolls and stuff.
Stuff I can't do.
Not me.
Steady.
Steady.
Steady, man.
That's the one thing
he learned about himself.
He does not shake.
A lot of dudes
shake at LaserQuest.
Not Zach Harper.
Yeah, man.
It was all smoky
and neon-y.
They had lasers
in the laser tag.
It was tight, man.
Think about how dumb
glow-in-the-dark bowling
must have felt
when laser tag came out.
Oh, my God.
I thought you had something.
Oh, you're wearing white?
Check this out.
And then laser tag was like, we're shooting fucking lasers at each other.
Yeah.
Get out of here.
They didn't even turn them into like laser grenades.
They just kept them bowling balls and tried to be dumb with it.
Yep.
You fucking idiots.
Bunch of morons.
Yeah.
If my pick could be lasers, bro, that would be tight.
Yeah, lasers, bro.
I'm going to take
my final pick, the final pick of the draft.
I'm taking Equemini by Outkast.
There we go.
That's a great pick. Fantastic.
I think there were a lot
of peaks musically, but I think
that was one of the highest ones
for me. that's something
you got to listen to all the way through that you have to listen all the way through the outfits
skewed on the barbie that was the first that was their first one that i had like paid attention to
too me too first one i ever heard like i like i remember when it came out and like all that kind
of stuff yeah i didn't hear about the. I remember seeing the word and having no idea.
Just absolutely.
I can't even begin to approach what this word sounds like.
One of these dressed like the Legion of Doom playing baseball.
Yeah.
I traded.
I got into rap in a weird way.
I don't know what was going on in Beaverton, Oregon
but Master P
was kind of the first
rap I really ever listened to
wow
wait was Beaverton a suburb?
that's what was going on
Beaverton a suburb of Portland, Oregon
it was Master P
and like No Limit Records
and I remember trading
Master P's Double City
I've told this story before
for Equem and I
on the bus
and then listening to it
and being like
oh
oh my
it was the first time I heard Raekwon it was the first time I heard Raekwon.
It was the first time I heard Outkast.
It's a lot better than The Last
Dawn. It is better than The Last Dawn.
No shit on Master P and all of the records.
No, I'm a big Ghetto Dope guy.
I like Master P.
But The Last Dawn isn't that great to me.
Let's not say things we should say.
Make a crack like this.
I'm going to listen to Ghetto Dope right now.
But Outcast,
Equim and I. Yeah, solid.
One of the creoning achievements of the 20th century, in my opinion.
Isaac, do you have a pick?
Sorry, I was on mute.
Isaac got hit in the face by a goose
and then he's...
By a goose.
I'm going to pick video games.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's tough to me.
They are fun.
Pretty good.
I just finished
Disco Elysium.
Yeah, go on.
Are you picking,
and if I may,
are you picking arcade games
or are you picking
like console games
like at home?
For me,
it was console games
growing up, you know?
I mean, also like
the Game Boys, you know, handheld stuff.
Sports games, 2K, FIFA, all that shit.
I just got a Nintendo Switch and holy shit.
That is a time waster and that is a lot of nostalgia.
That's a lot of fun.
It looks so good, too, the Switch.
It looks like candy.
It's crazy.
Visual candy.
It really does look tasty. You're right. It really does look tasty. I'm talking the actual Switch to eat. It looks like candy. It's crazy. Visual candy. It really does look tasty.
You're right. It really does look tasty. I'm talking the actual
Switch to eat. It looks good.
I mean, the graphics.
I didn't mean to cut off discussion about video
games. I'm just saying it's a fantastic pick.
You're alright. I killed the mood.
I fucking blew it. I blew it.
I have other stuff to say about the Switch. I love it.
I love the Switch. I have one. I play it all the time.
On flights? On your flight to Tokyo?
Oh, I'm going to load that shit up.
Download Civilization VI, and it'll feel like the flight is 45 minutes.
I'm telling you.
And that's still something I should have known was a thing.
You guys got real mad at me.
Some drinks were involved.
It's all right.
It's all right.
It's a great game.
It's a great game.
All right.
It might not be your cup of tea, but if it is, boy, oh, boy.
To recap, we drafted the 20th century.
