Whoever said you had to be good to play football.
And even if those cowboys are better than you guys, even if they beat you 99 times out of 100, that still leaves.
One time.
One time.
Yeah.
One time.
There's no reason the Cowboys should not score on every single play.
Every drive.
They got like five people on Spike's back.
He's literally carrying the team on his back.
It should have been a 52 to nothing.
What was your ace in the pocket?
The cowboy kid that looks like he's six?
The nerdy kid who showed up in bubble wrap?
Like, who is the ace of the squad?
They had nothing.
Cowboys didn't score a single point the entire second half.
Is the Cowboys 21-0-blown lead against the Little Giants,
the worst meltdown in sports movie history?
What else you got?
I think the winner has to be Space Jam, the Tune Squad.
We're literally losing to the point where the scoreboard said kind of one-sided, isn't it?
They stopped keeping score.
That's how much the Mons Stars were trucking the Tune Squad.
They had Michael.
They did have Michael Jordan.
He never loses in the finals.
It is Super Bowl season once again, and that means it's time for your annual football movie review.
That's right.
It's time for the Super Bowl, and it's time for the dissect.
DJs in the building.
Your boy, DJ MC, jiggit, jac, and of course.
DJ Castle, because we are the DJs.
They like to spin it, mix it, throw it back, and dissect it.
Dysectives.
And apparently, talk about kids sports movies from the 90s,
because this is like the third time we've done it.
We love them.
We grew up with them, and this one is a classic.
That's right.
We've done Sandlot.
We've done the Mighty Ducks.
And now today, the Little Giants.
Little Giants, the most epic child football movie.
I can't think of another one that tops this, to be honest with you.
Well, I didn't remember this movie being that much.
I knew it was a kid's movie, but as I started doing the watchback,
I haven't watched it in like 10 years, but I was like, this is a full-on kids movie.
be longer than 10 years for me, be honest with you.
And it brought back memories and
also I was able to look at it in a
different mind frame, right? As an adult,
you look at things differently. You're able to see different
aspects of the movie. As a kid,
I got to be on, Spike was huge.
We're going to talk about it. But at this point, Spike is
a little kid. I was like, I would tear Spike out.
It looks like a kid. But he was like 16 and everybody
else was like 10. He already had a mustache.
There was a noticeable difference. We'll get into it. We'll get into it.
But first, Fool was carrying a goddamn
fridge on his back.
1994 classics starring Ed O'Neill and Rick Moranis
and Devin Sawa
who I did not realize was the kid in the movie
until I saw him in the opening credits
and John Madden with a friendly cameo
John Madden make a cameo
And NFL players
That's one thing about the 90s movies
They brought players into the movies
Oh yeah there's always that part where they don't do that anymore
Very disappointed they probably charge too much
What it is but I actually just think the problem is
Like we just don't get movies like this anymore
Okay.
There's like a whole multiple segments of movies that like just don't exist anymore.
The fun sports comedy movies that's like maybe geared up for kids.
When was the last time we had even one of those?
When's the last time we even had like a comedy?
Like a regular, like we, those are kind of out.
Sports movies are all kind of got to be like a dramatic retelling of like an event.
I think the last one was Jackie Robinson or something like that.
Events may have happened.
That movie was from like 2003.
See?
No idea.
I haven't seen.
I haven't seen it.
So you're right.
Which is why we love our 90s era sports movies.
And this is why this has become a frequent, when we want a movie to cover, we always end up just going back to that well.
Next time we're doing Air Bud.
I like it.
Don't hold me to that.
Ambrosius.
Come here.
Ambrosius.
He is sleeping.
He's sleeping.
He brought him in the studio today.
He's 15 now and he sleeps.
He's cool.
He looks adorable when he sleeps.
We're not actually going to do Airbud.
I don't know.
It could come up.
I'm not going to promise it, but the thing that I, why I felt like we had to finally do
Little Giants was because I feel like in two or three different episodes in the past, we
called out like, we're going to do Little Giants.
I know we did it on the Sandlot episode.
I think we did it in last year's, uh, Super Bowl season episode when we did any given Sunday,
which go back and listen to it.
What episode was that?
Episode 132.
Exactly.
Go listen to it.
That's one of our best.
It's one of my favorite episodes, but a very different football movie than this one.
Basically polar opposites.
But I remember saying at that episode that I was like,
it was either down to this one or that one.
And for that one,
I wanted to go with a gritty,
realistic NFL depicting movie.
This one,
I wanted to do the happy slapstick kids movie
starring Rick Moranis,
which features a team full of nerds
trying to go against a team full of athletes.
And before we do continue,
I just wanted to give a shout out
that we're missing our other sports movie DJ.
Partner.
Jason's not here.
here with us. Jason, we love you.
And we know you would have came up with the one-liners for this movie.
We're missing him on this one.
We're missing you, Jay White.
But I feel like, you know what we, the ball's over there now.
Shit.
I was gonna, how's it?
Go get it.
Go get it.
You can do it.
It's fine.
It's good.
I don't know what to do.
I don't do with my hands.
All right, he's back.
But I feel that we could pick up the ball and run with it and find our way to the end zone.
So don't break anything.
Don't break anything.
We're good.
We're good.
Safe.
Long sport.
He's sometimes you got a risky for the biscuit.
So let's get into it with Little Giants.
The first thing that I just want to,
I just want to go shoot right to the end.
Is this the most absurd storyline from a sports story perspective?
Is this the most absurd story that we've ever had?
In what way?
Explain it to me.
What do you?
We got a team, so the basic premise of the movies,
you got these two brothers,
Ed O'Neill and Rick Moranus,
aka Kevin and Danny O'Reilly.
Yes, the O'Shea brothers.
The O'Shea brothers.
Kevin, Ed O'Neill, he's always been like the jock, which, by the way, when he was, like, first meeting the team and they're the trials at the beginning, and he's, like, lists him off his resume and Icebox keeps saying, like, three-time high school champion.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Little things like.
Three high school championships.
Three high school championships.
A national collegiate championship.
A national collegiate title.
An all-American title.
An all-American title.
Not to mention a highman trophy.
A Heisman trophy
And a Heisman trophy winner
I was like
Dude this fool got a fucking resume
This is like a hall of fame right there
Not only that
He was on Mary with children
Same guy
And he had how many touchdowns in the
Yeah stop doing the ball
Dude I don't know where to keep fumbling the ball
But I wanted to bring up that
He scored
He's always an epic football player
Four touchdowns in one game
Four touchdowns for poke high
And I got to say
I also remember as a kid when I saw this, like we knew Ed O'Neill as Al Bundy.
Like most people at that time didn't even know his name was Ed O'Neill.
That's like that's Al Bundy.
And I remember seeing this as a kid and it was like notably shocking to see loser Al Bundy being depicted as this like super winner champion athlete.
Clean cut, top football.
Everybody knows him in town.
Player, yeah, I agree.
That always threw me for a loop.
And then I saw him again now and I was like, oh man, this guy's such a.
perfect football
emblem that I can't even
say the words right now
he depicts what a football
legend of a once a football and now he's
doing pee wee football but wants everybody to look
at him and be like I'm the shit right
like he just perfect he plays it
so perfectly right off the bat
I just was thinking like they knocked
it out of the park with his casting
Ed O'Neill as the older brother is cocky
it's the gum chewing he's got to be
the all-time best gum-chewers in movie history
I can't even do it as good as he did.
It's like he's at the Mount Rushmore of like gum chewers alongside Mr. Perfect, Kurt Henning.
I don't know any of these players, but he did.
I got to put him up there.
I mean, he's a, he's a wrestler.
Okay.
Yeah.
And Michael Jordan.
Michael Jordan is another one.
And Brad Pitt in pretty much any movie.
Except I don't even know if it's gum with him.
He's just like always eating on something.
So I'll say Matt Damon in Ocean's 11 because I feel like he's always chewing gum.
So there you go.
That's your Mount Rushmore of all.
time gum choers. And that's actually why I actually think the kid version of him nails it,
because he's got the gum chewing down, cocky like the way he responds. First thing I thought when
they go back to when they're kids, first of all, you can't help but notice like young Rick
Moranis, spot on kid version of Rick Moranis. Like that kid looked exactly like him. The casting.
Whoever the casting director, the casting director killed it as far as kids. And then it's the kid
version of him. Yeah. And he's just like, how many touchdowns are you going to throw to me? You're going to throw me 50.
We're going to throw me a hundred touchdowns
And he's just like
When mom says she was going to pick you up
He's just
Like he's so
Ficcid
And by the way
Then they go into the game
And they're like
Picking teams
And young little like
Rick Moranus
Danny you know
He's sitting there and he's like
All like yeah
He's like you got a picnic
He's like sitting there with a ball
He's like this
He's like
I'll take butts
Stein and Rip
Yes
Um ready
Yeah
Alright let's play some football
Hey, Danny, the ball.
Give me.
Man, I must be pretty bad if my own brother won't even pick me.
Danny, look at it my way.
I stink and you know it.
You're perfect than I stink.
That's it.
No, that's not it.
It's just that I'm so good.
It makes you look really bad.
And he's just like, nobody's going to pick me?
He's like, dude, you're also like three foot two right now.
Everybody else is like three years older than you.
Like, is it really this shocking to you that you didn't get picked?
right now.
It's not that he's that bad.
It's that his brother's just really good.
It's just going to make you look bad.
You know what I mean?
The line delivery of that kid and the way Ed O'Neill delivers lines,
they're like spot out.
I love it.
And by the way,
this whole movie takes place in a town called Urbana, Ohio.
Okay.
And I first saw that and I was like, wait,
is that Urbana, Ohio?
Are you familiar?
I am familiar because in the summer
before my senior year of high school,
I actually went to a wrestling camp in Urbana, Ohio.
Oh, shit.
gnarly like backwoods nice little like kind of like farm town the whole camp was just like a
huge barn i remember walking up to it didn't know what to expect walk in and there's just i'm like
it's a barn we're like this the place we walk in there's just mats everywhere and there's just like
kids all around just wrestling and they're just like oh yeah you're ran council yeah you're on
all right get in there put your shoes on and get started and it was just like okay
I just spent a whole week on this farm in Urbano, Ohio.
So I looked it up.
Is Urbanya, Ohio a real town?
It's not.
But, like, Google will be like, do you mean Urbana, Ohio?
So they're basing it off that town, for sure.
They're basing it off a town like that, like, a small town Midwest.
No idea.
I didn't know.
Where, like, if there's a hero high school football player that comes out of it, that goes on,
or, like, wouldn't Hizman, like, he's going to get his name on the Water Tower.
You know what I mean?
He's going to have a sign of him.
Did you see that Hysman sign?
No, I mean.
There's a point where they're just driving by and there's a sign.
and they're like hometown of Kevin O'Shea Heisman winner.
And he's like, he's literally doing the Heisman version of the Out Bundy pose.
It's fucking hilarious.
They had to have cast him because of his Out Bundy football.
Like that had to be part of it.
He had to get him thinking about it.
And he's a great actor because he kills it.
Now, can we fast forward real quick?
He's coached.
He's doing his thing.
He obviously got the team.
And then, which by the way, let's go to that.
To be the players that don't get picked live, I've never had that.
We always had a list, which was just bad.
Yeah, the list is bad too because they could see it.
I've been cut that way before.
Yeah, man, it is devastating.
Yeah, yeah.
But yeah, there's no reason to do it by like having everybody run over to you.
And then he's like, thanks for playing.
And he's like, hey, better look next year.
Yeah, man, that's such a hard-bracking way.
He's so cocky and, like, a shirt and, like, assured.
all the things that he's saying, like with the smile
as he's chewed yum, even as he's like breaking these
kids' hearts and everything. Yeah, crazy enough,
he cuts the best player there.
Everybody states it, he states it.
There's many, the icebox gets cut
because she's a girl, I get it.
But at this age, at that age group, she's still
equal, right? Guys tend to get
a little bigger. Right around the cusp.
Right, the cusp. But at that point, she's
still dominating.
Later in the game, we find out, she's one of the
best defensive backs, right?
Is that what I'm saying that back?
Her little fullback, right?
Fullback, and she plays backup quarterback.
Yeah, she could even get in there and toss some pigs getting around a little bit.
You're not picking the icebox?
She clearly is the bench defensive.
No, he says he cuts his own, was it niece?
He cuts his own niece.
That's crazy to me.
You could say that this movie's ahead of its time in a few different ways.
Like, one, they're trying to, like, show the spotlight on the equality of men versus women.
Like, boys like, yeah, girls can play sports too.
Like, girls can kick ass, you know?
She's the top player.
Yeah, yeah.
But they're also like at the same time being like, well, she can't play because she's a girl,
which also, if that's her niece and she's trying out for the team, shouldn't that have been
a conversation that happened before the tryout?
She's on the team.
Like, you're going to wait into that moment when you have to have her stand in there.
You cut your niece live?
If she wasn't going to make the team no matter what, no matter how good she did because she's
a girl, it's crazy.
It's crazy.
You should have, like, had a conversation with Danny being like, don't bring her a tryout
because I'm not going to have a girl on my team.
But at the same time, it also, a.
A conversation that I think has been in the discussion about sports a lot in the last couple years about like this kind of idea of like
Participation Trophy era that would be a discussion. And I think it's this thing where it's like
To a degree yeah, I think Kevin's in the right like yeah, you're trying to build a championship team
Look at those other fucking kids. Yeah, I get what you're saying like you don't got to be as blunt as butts is about it when he's just like
He's like you know those kids are and he's like a bunch of losers.
Kevin
So what the hell you're doing?
I'm putting together a championship football team, little brother.
And what about those other kids?
Did you see their faces?
On football and about faces.
About speed, about talent.
I picked the best ones.
Besides, I only got three weeks to put this thing together.
I can't be wasting my time with a bunch of losers.
But who the hell are you, Vince Lombardi all of a sudden?
Yeah, like, you have the right to actually pick the kids that are going to help you win.
Everybody that shows up to try out shouldn't make it on the team.
Like, I agree.
Like, you're trying to win a tournament.
You're trying to be a state champion.
Like, not everybody has to.
So this movie, it's kind of like on both sides where it's explaining that that's kind of how sports is like if you're going to try to play sports, we both have like, you're going to need to take some else.
You're going to need to like get beaten down.
We've both been cut from teams before.
It's painful, but it's part of sports.
So this kind of idea that's like everybody should play, everybody like.
And we end up with this loser group of teams that should absolutely be nowhere near football field.
Yeah.
They definitely look like a couple of video game players.
they look like they should be
one kid was like about to die
from like every allergy
to men
and he's not even the worst one
so me the worst one was the
the fucking little cowboy kid
like why did they even take that kid on the team
Rick Moranis they're like literally
He didn't want to play
Yeah so we get to the point when
He gets tricked into starting his own team
and he really like just goes for it
because Kevin challenges him
And he actually makes some good points by that
He's like, you know, everybody can't play sports.
Some kids are going to invent stuff.
Some kids are going to be scientists.
And he says his library, he goes, look at Albert Einstein.
Did anybody care that he couldn't catch a football?
No.
Guys like you and kids like that.
I mean, they can't help, but they're no good.
You know, but they learn things.
I mean, they invent things.
They win Nobel Prizes.
Einstein.
Could he catch?
Did anybody care?
No.
Danielus.
But he's right.
Like, look, some of you kids,
kid with a fucking test tubes doing his little science stuff.
Like,
you're going to be awesome in life.
Like, trust me.
You're going to make money.
You're going to be doing well.
You're going to be elevate yourself.
This is not your peak years.
Sports is not it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And that's fine.
And I came to find later in life that sports isn't it?
Like you continue playing,
and I've been playing like flag football for the last 15 years.
And I've still as competitive.
And it's getting me nowhere in life.
It does nothing from financial stability.
But I still love killing the people.
that still try to play,
because there's a lot of people
that turned into financial gurus,
and then they started killing it in life,
and they try to play with me in flag football.
And that's the only way I'm able to demolish them
is like, get off the field, I'll kill you.
I catch everything.
I'm throwing touchdowns.
You're no good.
Go do some analysis.
You know what I mean?
And then they do.
And they do, and then they got me,
and then their car is super nice compared to mine.
Whatever.
The realistic, the twisted, like, trick of it that happens
as you grow older from your childhood
and your dreams is like,
would say about 80% of kids growing up, like look at having a profession in sports as like
their dream and their goal.
No, it's not that much.
I think you're overstatement.
From boy, maybe 80% of boys?
No.
Yeah, I don't think you do.
I think it was just because we were in the sports realm that the kids that were, we were around.
It's more than 60 though.
I'm going 50-50.
I'm going 50-50.
I don't think, because there's a lot of kids that were just playing video games that were
just, you know, that didn't realize they can't catch a ball and they went other routes.
It was just that because we were involved in nothing but.
sports, whether it be wrestling, basketball, baseball, like we were, we thought all kids wanted
to be professionals because we thought in our brains, I thought I was going to be an NBA player.
I had a potential.
If not, I was going overseas.
I was going overseas.
I was going to play basketball until I hit 5'9 and never grew more.
And then I realized, oh, there's no chance.
I mean, I have to be a really good.
And I just didn't have a shot.
As you can remember, you know.
When I was a kid, I remember watching the, like, the NBA finals when it was like the bowls and
the sons.
And I remember looking at like Dan Marley
And I was like a little kid
I could play a camera
I was like I want to be an NBA player
I'm not gonna be Michael Jordan
But I think he can be Dan Marley
The guy who like just hustles and like hit some threes
I think I could be that guy
Like I was like that's my goal
I'll shoot for that
I was being realistic I thought
You know that was until I saw
That was my idea of like shooting for the stars
But like a realistic star in my opinion
Yeah yeah it wasn't until I saw LeBron James
My junior year of high school
And he was a junior
And I saw him on TV
Which I don't think everybody remembers that
but LeBron James was on TV as a high school player.
Yeah, yeah, he was.
He had on him all you want.
He was a high school phenomenal.
And I saw him dunking on people like my size.
And I was like, oh, I have no chance.
I have no chance.
There's zero chance to get anywhere.
Maybe you're up.
And even then, LeBron James killed all thought I ever had of ever being a professional anything.
I feel like a lot of us that we basically had the reality hit us at some point.
When we were like playing with a game with like a kid our age and like watch them, like just throw down.
Like, oh, kids of my age are already dunking.
Oh, I'm, I can, like, just kind of hit the net.
I could tap the backboard when I hit it later.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know?
All right, you know what?
Yeah, I got to think it's, and that's how it sets in.
But the thing I was getting at is like, okay, so whatever,
large percentage of kids end up being like, oh, I want to play sports when I'm an adult.
I want to do that as my career because that's what I have most fun doing.
But this group.
And the reality is, like, 1% of them actually end up doing that.
Less than 1.01, to be honest.
And then they get a random bunch.
They got the kid that you said what they had.
that was on one of those riding horses, but I haven't seen them in a long time.
They used to be outside the supermarkets.
He literally just goes up to him and he's like, you like football?
No?
You want to play football?
No.
All right.
And he just kidnaps him.
Do you like football?
No.
You want to play football?
No.
Great.
You can be on R.T.
He just snatches them off the horse.
And then in the next scene, they're all like literally a cut to.
They're all walking on a train check.
And then the kid of the cowboy head just like walks up and now he's walking with him.
And it's like, wait, did that?
they kidnap him?
Like, where is his parents?
Where was his parents when he was riding on the horse?
And then Rick Moranus was talking to him.
And now next thing you know, he's just walking with a troubled group of youths
that want to start a football team on the train track.
Like, I don't know.
I mean, like, if you sent your kid off to the store and he started by riding a mechanical
horse and then he ended up by walking with a group of random kids he doesn't know
to, like, join a team.
I have questions.
That's all I'm saying.
Yeah.
And the next kid, the dad doesn't care about him.
He's going off, driving off in a taxi, and the kid's just like...
That was that kid's whole personality in the movie.
Like, there was nothing else that that kid did or had or sad.
His whole character arc was, my dad works a lot.
Yeah, he was sad about it.
And then he gave, like, a sad look and just be like...
But then they invite him.
You want to play some football?
He joins.
Then we get to the most epic fine.
They're in a supermarket, okay?
Icebox is eating some white donuts.
Which, why?
You can't do that, by the way.
She's just eating.
She's grubbing.
She's just smashing on a box of donuts in the crusher.
Do this.
Do one of these.
How old are you?
Especially when you see a boy you like.
Just one of these.
Just one time.
Why?
I was all she needed.
I was doing this watching it.
I was like, bro.
Becky.
Real quick.
White.
One.
One.
Anyways.
And they catch the most legendary.
I mean, let's be honest.
His arm throw was a little off, right?
He didn't really know how to throw.
Dude had some shady arm throw motion.
Shitty arm throw motion.
But according to the movie
His mechanics were questionable
I don't think Devin Sawa had played
football before this movie, but it was
passable. I've seen worse.
With that, yeah, I've seen some, there's a one
commercial with the guy's like,
the actor, so then they find him and he's
throwing perfect throws of
toilet paper into
a shopping cart from
20 yards away and just hitting,
hitting. Now, if they don't find this guy,
they don't have a team. What are the
odds you're trying to build a
a football team from scratch, you go to the grocery store,
and there's the stud kid who looks five years older than everybody, by the way,
just happens to be launching toilet paper in a shopping cart going,
Dutchdown!
What a find.
What a find.
Yeah.
To add to your shit team that you guys are putting together.
Because everybody else, including the kicker who just kicked the ball, broke a window,
and everybody was like, oh, you can kick.
Turns out he can't kick at all.
The toe.
There was nothing in the movie following that.
that was like, oh yeah, he was a good kicker.
Like, they got him like, whoa, you can-
barely made the field goal.
As they're practicing, they have two parents, like, doing, like,
field goal, and they're, like, literally just doing this the whole time.
Like, moving over.
All right, so you guys didn't need to make him a kicker
just because you watched him break a window kicking random balls.
Turns out that doesn't make you a good kicker.
I don't know.
Nothing but glass.
Hey, want to play football?
The big game, he starts the game by kicking Johnny and the ball.
to kick off the game.
I wrote down somehow they managed to actually have a worse opening kickoff than the sharks did in any given Sunday.
And they gave up a return touchdown after Al Pacino's legendary speech.
And then they gave up an opening touchdown.
But yet the kid was actually worse because he started the game by just kicking the older.
And then the other team just takes it.
Did he score?
No, I think the other team just took the ball.
It was the worst, literally worst start of the game.
You could possibly draw up in a football movie right there.
We're going to get to that final game
Because there's a lot of details
We've got to get into that
And if you haven't seen this movie
In a long time
Rewatch this because that last 30 minutes
And the game
There's so many details
We'll get into it
I do want to point out
The whole rag tag group of misfits
Culture that like this movie
Like this stereotypes that they get into with it
Because it was just right out of the playbook
Of sort of the Disney movie
Because the movie starts with like
I feel like bugs bunning was like
It was like a Warner Bros.
brother's movie or something. But it felt like it was in the same vein. I feel like they saw
Mighty Ducks, which came out like a year earlier. And they saw the success of that. And they're
like, we can do that. Let's do that in football. Because the similarities of what you get
from Mighty Ducks to this movie is all over the place. You got the rag tag group of misfits
who all like kind of suck. But then they all got to come together. They got to wear their
mismash gear that's clearly not meant to like be played in modern.
like one kid's wearing a Darth Vader helmet the whole time.
The connection to Mighty Ducks is clear.
92, Mighty Ducks came out.
So this was 94.
So, yeah, I feel like they just looked at them.
They're like, all right, that works.
Let's do that with football.
Yeah, exactly what they did.
And then the coach who's sort of being thrown into this, but then he kind of embraces it.
My goodness, I didn't realize the connections.
He ends up loving the kids a lot.
And then he has figure that's luring over his life that he sort of like ends up needing to beat in the end.
And Gordon Bombay's case in Mighty Ducks, it's the old coach that he used to
have who you know kind of like taunts his past and in this case it's his older brother that was
always better that everything that like kind of talks down to him and then they got ends up overcoming
the odds and beating them in the end game like it's cut from the similar cloth they got two weeks okay
the game is in two weeks so they get this team together against the cowboys while they're getting
together okay Rick Moranus throws a bunch of random equipment and the classic scene of the cup going
in the face of the cowboy like could I say something about that they play with that
Kitty gear, the whole practice.
Okay, if you're Rick Moranis, aka Danny,
and you know, by the big game, he's like,
guess what, I got you guys' Giants helmet.
It's like, yeah, just get it for him when they start practicing.
He had no idea.
You got the fat kid playing in a Darth Vader helmet for weeks.
You know how unsafe that thing is?
The one, like, nerdy kid with all the allergies
has, like a helmet from, like, 1932 on the whole time.
He's got that leather thing.
His mom gave him the styrofoam full body.
He shows up.
That was classic.
His mom, by the way, what is the deal with the early 90s women's hair styles back then?
I wouldn't go there.
I mean, dude, I had that same hairstyle that year when I was like seven.
Like, look at my first grade picture.
Me and her have the same hair.
She was an attractive woman.
She had like a bowl cut.
And that was the same haircut that the fat kid's mom had.
Also, like, I don't know, man.
I don't know what y'all were doing with the hairs back then.
I don't know why you have to call him fat.
He's a large kid.
That was his.
And the haircut, I like it.
That brings me to this.
I think it looks good.
No, you don't.
I called him the fat kid because that was like literally, that was his whole thing.
This movie is so big on like the stereotypes and like 90s movies in general, like sports kids movies.
This is a thing that was a trope in all these kind of like 80s, 90 sports movies.
Like you got to have the fat kid who's, his whole thing is he's fat and he always has snacks on hand.
And he's always eating and he farts.
They literally called him gas man.
The back of his jersey was gas right.
They didn't even bother to give him a name.
I think his name was Rudy.
But they were like, yeah, but no, you're known for farting.
That's her whole thing.
And you're always eating.
So they got him.
The kid that can't catch, even though he's a receiver, which I think.
And dad threw him about 10 balls.
Oh, my God.
Very patient father.
Through him 10 balls.
And the kid just, it's right to him.
And he just couldn't catch it.
And then finally, they throw him some toilet paper,
and the kid can catch every toilet paper known to man.
That dad had the patience of a saint to deal with that.
The night before the game,
he's throwing him like 10 balls
the kid is just not catching my
I felt like the dad was like why the hell did I get
I bought 10 balls for you
yeah all right
hot hands
you're really gonna put hot hands on the back of your jersey
when you haven't caught one ball
the whole fucking season the whole movie
yeah he had trouble catching
but actually that was a trope too
because I remember in necessary roughness
they also had a character whose whole thing
was he's the receiver but he couldn't catch the ball
which is like if you're
Your job on the team is the whole thing is you got to like just catch the ball.
Like, I don't know, maybe put them on defense.
Try something else.
But that was always the trope, the nerd kid.
Although this team was like half nerds.
They really hammered that nerd thing.
But I do like that the kid that wears neckties and like is doing science experiments in his room has to be.
Well, then obviously you'd be good to be a coach.
Great coach.
You should be the coach.
And the play call.
Let's give the credit to the play call, which we'll come back to later.
literally drawn up plays and like fat like tearing out the fax machine paper like where is that where
is that play call going to like oh hey pass this to the huddle and printed it up while bringing him up
he gets help from one of the most legendary coaches yeah known to man john madden makes an appearance
in this movie which i forgot about to be honest with you i remember this movie i was like oh i forgot
they had NFL players show up they have john madden
Tim Brown, who doesn't make another appearance at all throughout the entire movie.
Emmett Smith.
Just when the team's at their lowest and they're like, everybody wants to quit.
Everybody's about to quit.
And then Red Tad's riding home.
He's like, oh, shit, I just like I'm a loser.
What does he call himself?
Dipstick?
I am a dipstick.
And then guess which bus pulls up and who needs directions?
Fucking John Madden.
An all-time cameo.
And by the way, I had forgotten that he was in it too.
until I saw the opening credits
and I just saw John Madden said there.
I'm like John Madden's in this movie
totally had forgotten all about that.
Helps the coach, the kid coach
with the annexation to Puerto Rico play.
Make sure it's fixed correctly.
But they come out with four players.
Emmett Smith, Bruce Smith, Tim Brown,
and Marcus Allen.
No, it was not Marcus Allen.
Oh, it wasn't Margaret.
You know what?
Chat Chb-T is a piece of shit sometimes.
Now, I love Chad DBT.
I ask it for many things.
But out of nowhere,
throw you the wrong answer and act like it knows what it's talking about it would be like oh yeah and
and marcus allen it was like and castle i sent him the photo of the four players and he was like um marcus
allen wasn't there i was like you're right it wasn't margis allen it was steve emmett emmett emmettment
what a word e mt m a n as i was watching it yourself people as i was watching that i was
like, damn it, I knew 90s football.
Is that a guy I should know?
So I actually looked him up.
Okay.
Played in the league for six years, started 19 games total.
Oh, so he just ran him suckers?
So there was no reason to actually throw him in the movie.
I don't know if the director was just friends with him.
I mean, he looks like a badass football player.
Yeah.
He, like, puts his hand in the dirt.
He's got like a skull and crossbones tattooed on his hand.
Like, he looks like an NFL player.
So for that, he fit in.
But Tim Brown made much more of an appearance in the NFL.
Yeah.
Why did Steve Eminent,
stick around, but Tim Brown shows up for the reveal when he first opens the garage.
They're like, oh, Tim Brown.
Well, Tim Brown, Emmett Smith, and Bruce Smith and Steve Mnent.
And then he just never shows up again.
Never shows up again.
Steve Emmett Smith gives an inspirational speech.
So does Bruce Smith.
Bruce Smith teaches him how to be the intimidation, right?
And then Steve Edmund teaches him how to tackle, I think.
He's like, you could do harder than that.
Tim Brown never makes it on the bridge.
He's gone.
And arguably, other than Emmett Smith, Tim, oh, Bruce Smith was pretty good too.
Tim Brown's definitely number three on this.
Nobody knows who Steve was.
They're all Hall of Famers, yeah.
Except for Steve, right?
And then Steve.
Yeah.
Steve.
Your neighbor is Steve.
He was just also in the van.
Sure, glad that John Madden just had a bus full of Hall of Famers and Steve just stopped by.
This is the kind of thing that used to happen in these movies.
They just feel like, have a scene that they'd be like, hey, I'm John Madden.
My car broke down.
You guys think I can get a ride?
There was only four players and John Madden in a bus.
You guys could have took a van or something.
Why did you need a whole bus?
John Madden
Was there other players in the van
in the bus?
I don't think so.
So that part confusing me
when I was watching.
Madden actually did used to always travel
on a bus because he didn't like flying.
Okay.
So that was actually a thing.
But still,
there's only five players.
You don't need a bus for five players.
I was astounded by that.
That's true.
I was astounded.
I was astounded.
I will say that like
this movie absolutely hits Madden
at the perfect time.
Like he was the perfect cameo.
He was a beloved announcer,
former coach of that point.
But he still had it at this movie.
He still had it.
But no, he was sharp and he looked like that madden that we like to remember and stuff.
Drawing over the board.
And then, yeah, he does that part where he's like, so I got off to 40590 and I was looking for the 10.
And then we're listening.
And then we got to this way and this way.
We're trying to find Cannon.
Boom.
We got to get there fast.
He does the whole like drawing up a play thing.
Like it was a lights out cameo.
Me and the guys have to get to a banquet in Canton, you know, where the Hall of Fame is.
And we took a wrong turn somewhere.
Look, we started out here on I 70.
We're coming across here.
We went up 104.
and we took the 49er, then we're going to take a shortcuts.
We go 10, 12, 48, huts, and we have to hit Canton.
Bam, and we have to hit it hard.
And I don't know where the heck we are.
And then I love that as they're leaving, Rick Moranus is like,
hey, coach, got any advice?
And he's like, yeah, good luck.
And he just keeps walking.
And Rick Moranus is not having it.
He's just like, wait, that's it?
And he just literally goes like, football's not that hard.
Just give it your best, just like I did.
I won the Super Bowl with a bunch of players that a lot of people didn't even
want.
Just calls out his entire team.
There's got to be some of the, one of those old players sitting on who's on the bench,
just got like...
A coach.
The fuck, madden.
Hey, coach, mind if I ask you something?
I got kind of a big game coming up.
You got any advice?
Good luck.
What, that's it?
Listen, there's no big secret to winning football.
It's just doing what these guys do every game.
Just go out and give it your best.
Bottom line, I took a team to a Super Bowl and we won.
I haven't had some guys on that team that nobody wanted, but we were a team.
And that's what you guys are.
Real quick, can we go back?
I gave my spine for that team.
Yeah, we won a Super Bowl.
What's wrong with you?
So going back, what was the other coach's name?
Rick Moranis and what was the other?
Oh, Kevin?
Yeah.
Heisman Trophy with Kevin O'Shea?
So there's a scene where he's teaching his team how to tackle, okay?
and they're getting beat up by his wife on a...
Well, he says he has her holding a cushion.
A cushion.
And he's literally saying,
that's her.
You got to take her out.
Icebox is all they have.
I got to take out the ice box.
Because he stupidly didn't put the best player on his team.
So he knows he's going to go against this girl.
And they got to tackle her.
And they're all getting beat up.
And then he's like, hold up.
I'll show you out.
Let me show you.
And he's digging in.
And he's looking in.
He has him call out.
And he goes full speed.
Full pelt.
Full pelt.
His wife is behind.
There's a glass window right behind her.
Which he finds out real quick.
Real quick.
Because he fucking charges.
Because she gets scared and moves, rightly so, right?
Yeah, what was the plan, Kevin?
What was he going to run his wife through that?
Like, I got her through the window and be like, dance out.
Woo!
What's how you doing?
He was going to knock her out.
Like that.
And she right.
Kevin O'Shea, Heisman trophy winner.
Class of 1970.
Hey, right.
What the fuck was the thing?
I couldn't believe.
Like, he went full speed.
She got out the way and he goes through a window.
I was just like, man, what was your plan there?
You were going to kill your wife.
You were about to kill your wife.
And then he goes, hits his balls on the thing, falls into a pool.
And now he's, they watch it on replay.
His wife's got that on replay nonstop.
Just look how goofy this is.
Not realizing you're about to get dealt with.
He says after he gets called out for spying on the other team and then they do the prank to like get them arrested.
Yeah, yeah.
There's these men watching kids, which is a reason.
reasonable thing to like bring up to like we got binoculars watching kids play.
I'm 86 years old I live in Urbania.
There are two men down the bridge from the shell station in the bushes spying on some kids.
Oh, we're all so upset.
I just don't think it's right for men their age to be parading around in their underwear.
Please hurry.
Nice going.
Good on you, that was a great prank Danny.
Hats up and then he's like, oh it's bad enough.
Last night I'm going through a window.
No, I'm getting arrested.
And it's like, that could have been a domestic violence arrest.
And then arrest for watching children.
Possibly an assault.
I think this actually worked out a little better than it could have.
You know what I mean?
Like, you got lucky, to be honest.
Couldn't believe it.
So that's that part I wanted to make sure I called out.
We got to get to Spike, though.
So I feel like is the low key, he's the backbone of this movie.
I know at the beginning, Kevin's like, the backbone of the team,
another random kid standing behind Xbox, who you never need to know again.
And like that kid, I already forgot his name.
But Spike ends up becoming the backbone of this movie.
By the way, they get the tip from those like old guys that would like just hanging at the diner all the time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they're like both calling like, where do these guys get that tip?
And it's literally never mentioned.
But it's like I do want to point out with those guys.
I do think that those type of dudes are real out there.
Like these Midwest towns that are like all about their football team.
You see this in a varsity blues.
Yes, yes, for sure they're out there.
They're just sitting there talking about the high school football team.
They're talking about peewee.
football teams.
And I couldn't believe that the one guy bet on the Giants.
He was like, I'll sweep the place for a month.
Like, I'll do it.
He put all his money, all his, everything on the Giants.
Did he see this team or did he know that Spike was going to be on that team?
Well, that might have been.
They literally have on the board.
They're like, cowboys are plus 40 favorites.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's like, okay, so you're taking them with the points though, right?
You have to take him with a point.
But he says something like, no, those boys are going to win?
It's like, are you saying they're going to win?
Straight up?
But like, are you taking the plus 40 odds?
Like, these is a...
If it's plus 40, I guess I kind of get it.
But I think he went for straight they're going to win, which he won that bet.
He ended up winning.
I like, can you imagine what that line would have been in Vegas?
A minus...
I would have put money just like here, throw 10 bucks, dude.
I might, you know...
Oh, yeah, plus 40 underdog.
I'm saying plus 40.
It'd be the minus 40.
I'm taking that bet.
I'm taking that bet.
I have no idea why anybody would.
I don't know why Danny has so much confidence in him when he gets to the game.
And he's like, yeah, you know what?
let's put our businesses on the line.
It's like, why do you have confidence in this team?
You've been watching them.
They literally quit on you yesterday before John Madden showed up,
talked them back into it and then gave you some bullshit advice
about like just giving it your best.
You know what I mean?
With that, the day before the game starts,
Spike is clearly the top running back at 16 years old
in a 13 to 12 age league.
That's because he's like 19 years old.
Yeah, he's way too big.
He has a mustache.
That kid's 16 minimum.
Now, as a kid watching this, I thought he was big.
As an adult, I'm like, oh, this is a kid, but still clearly bigger than the entire team.
That kid's in high school for sure.
So the giant has spike.
Everybody else is like 10.
The cowboy kid is like seven, dude.
Yeah.
They have Spike running, running back, who's nobody stopping him.
They have Icebox running defensive back, tackling everybody, and they have the top QB.
The day before this game starts, I actually think the Giants had the edge.
Now, other than that, they would have the edge.
They have the edge.
They still had the edge.
They still had a bunch of kids who literally didn't know how to run.
Doesn't matter.
They did know how to.
They got the three best players running.
The next best kid on their team hasn't caught a ball all season.
Yes, I'll give you that.
But they don't need that.
They have the quarterback and running back and the defensive lineman who's going to tackle everybody.
And then 24 hours before this game, Icebox decides she wants to go cheerleading.
Spike, Dad comes and picks him up and takes them to the other team and says, you're done.
You're going with the Cowboys.
Hang on.
I want to just speak on that real quick.
That's it at that point and they still had the quarterback luckily
But they lost two of their three top players is all I'm saying 24 hours before this game starts
All right, we'll spike
You're in trouble
Well Spike should have been on the Cowboys to the beginning with because like they do have that epic racing where two old guys are like let's have a little game
We got nothing going on today
Somehow they got a hot tip that there's this new kid in town who literally has been
Bread to play football from bird carrying fridge
Just like carrying fridges for a workout and they're like
We got a tip and they both get.
I actually love that scene
when they're like both like pull up next to each other.
Danny for some reason thinks the go-karts
the way to go for this.
Which is like a thing.
It clearly is.
I think it's a thing like Midwest rural towns like that.
That go-carts is shit by the way.
Icebox had it earlier.
Yeah, yeah.
That icebox goes through water.
Things do.
I think I wanted one of those as a kid
because of Icebox and Rick Moran.
It's more what Rick Moranus pulls out.
First of all, he almost dies twice in that trace.
They go through traffic.
But I like that moment when they're like,
kind of look at each other and they're like,
oh yeah, what are you doing here?
You follow me?
And you literally see, this is why I love Ed O'Neill's acting.
He literally has that like moment where he kind of looks
and he's like, he's mine, Danny.
Like suddenly they realize they're racing.
That is in the go car.
But they literally, he turns into traffic,
like, and makes a car go like, scourts.
Like you're in a go car.
There is zero protection for you if you get hit by a car.
Like, I don't know why you didn't just get in your vehicle.
You clearly have a car.
You really think that thing's gonna move.
any quicker than like a SUV would.
I don't know, but it ends up helping him out because then the second thing he almost
does his die.
He literally like ducks the thing in front of a train.
Train.
As it's coming.
That was a real stunt too because like they pulled that like they didn't.
That wasn't CGI back then.
Like they, I mean, it was a stunt man.
You can like tell.
But like still like that was a narla.
He ducks under a thing as a train's coming.
The fact that little giants pulled out a stunt like that was like you imagine being a stunt
man, being asked to like, okay, we need to get into a go cart.
You're going to duck under the low bridge of a train and then just barely miss it.
And he's like, oh, okay, great.
Is this some kind of crazy action movie?
It's actually a kid's movie about Peebee football starring Rick Moranis.
You're actually playing Rick Moranis' character.
He's like, all right, let's do it.
See no more.
So then he gets there and then he kind of tricks, spikes square-headed dad into thinking.
His dad's doing the, you did this, and you were the greatest?
Who am I?
Who am I?
Oh,
you're talking about my days, right?
Like,
this guy is four foot,
five foot two,
man, like there's no chance.
And he calls it out.
He's like,
wait,
are you really,
he was like,
yeah,
you know,
that's what they all said.
He's like,
you don't really look like a football player.
But first of all,
how does Kevin not crash that party?
How long did that train take?
Like,
you sit in there talking over like five,
oh,
do you don't think Kevin would
eventually just show up and like,
ah,
this little piece of shit tricked me.
You turned.
Which one of you think
is the Heisman trophy winner,
huh?
pose and everything that somehow he gets spike on this team of losers and he calls it
out quickly but he's talking about how he bred him he's like I have been massaging his hamstrings
with moisturized milk since he was eight months years old or something like that first skin he ever
touch was a pigskin pushing a football across the living room floor with his head when he
was four months old did his first pull-up when he was 18 months together time on 40 and 6-5 flat
bench presses twice his own weight
Won the eight-year-old division of the past punt run when he was five years old.
Oh, she.
I've been cultivating them.
Grooming him.
Every night before he goes to bed, I massage his hamstrings with evaporated milk.
You know what he reminds me?
Have you ever heard of that kid like baby gronk?
No.
He was, like, known on social media for a while.
Really what it was, it was just like his dad like that.
It was like this same thing where like this dad was like trying to make this kid out to be like
and he was like hitting up everybody in sports media could about his son who was like 10.
and I've seen interviews where people were asked him with questions
and he was sitting there like feeding them all the answers
they're like yeah no say like the chicks are all going to ask me out
and the kid was just like they're all going to ask me out like he was just saying
everything it was just literally that guy I never see this sounds sad baby gronk
that's who spike was the precursor to baby gronk basically but he is like hilarious
and then they have this practice though and I was just going to say this
working theory I actually think
I think Spike and Icebox have better chemistry than Icebox and Junior.
I'll give you that.
Because you think about what he first gets to the team.
And he's like, I don't play with girls.
And she's like right up in his face.
He talks in third person.
Spike doesn't play with girls.
Yeah.
Super immediately asshole way of dealing with things is talking in third person.
I realized that.
And I was like, man, Justin really likes this movie.
Like just saying that immediately makes you seem cocky as shit.
Just say your name and then say what you're saying.
And it makes you an asshole too.
It makes you an asshole immediately.
Justin feels that way.
It's bigger than my dad.
Spikes in hell.
Spikes in pee, we hell.
But the way they're in each other's faces, like just talking shit to each other,
maybe it's from years of rom-coms after that.
Like whenever you see a scene start like that with like two,
so they're obviously like kids.
So we're not going to go that route with it.
But in most movies, when you see the female and male,
protagonist, like, immediately getting each other's face, like, we hate each other.
Like, they're going to end up banging.
Oh, man.
That's where that ends up going.
Whoa.
All right, so here's my outlook on the next 10 years of Icebox.
Give it to me.
She's obviously got this crush on Junior.
Junior's like, ew, girls.
Look, if I had to learn how to kiss, and I mean absolutely positively, no way out of it, no
matter what, can't get out of it, had to learn how to kiss.
Well, then I think I want to learn with, let me guess.
Debbie.
I don't know.
But if not her, definitely another cheerier type.
Right?
Maybe.
They're just sitting there watching the people in the boat just make out.
Yeah.
After he leaves, she just sits there and watches the...
I heard they use tongue.
Like, yeah.
What?
It's crazy.
But then after he leaves, she just goes back to sitting there.
It almost like was thinking imagining a moment where they like stop and they look.
They're just this like little girl just like sitting there staring at them long.
Super awkward for sure.
Can you?
can you turn around or better
can you leave out of here
you're kind of killing the buzz right now
okay there's still kids
they're not really gonna like date but they're gonna like
kind of hold hands and like
be like oh yeah we're like going to middle school
and we're like kind of dating and then their parents are almost
going to be dating it seems by the end of the movie
because Rick Brannis asked his mom out on a date
and then she just goes for it literally just like her
right we're not going out we're doing this baby let's get it yeah
is that not a shot like that was a very
forward move for her to do like your kids are both sitting eight feet away and this is going to be a
shocking turn of events for both of them to like experience won the game of which I think it's time for
us to get into this final game okay I'm doing iceboxes next 10 years though oh okay okay so
then we'll get into the game yes then we'll get to the main event so they're gonna have maybe a
couple years where it's like his mom dates her dad and maybe they end up serious and then they
kind of but like something's gonna go wrong they're not going to
to end up like being married, even though in Midwest cities like that, that could potentially
have.
But let's just say for the sake of that, she ends up in high school, they don't really work out.
Now she's in high school with Spike.
And Spike, when you look at that kid, he has football player, beer crushing on his head.
I'm going to be a fucking, like, raging fuck.
I hope he gets over the third person.
All over his head.
No, that's going to be amped up in high school.
But he's going to be a maniac high school football.
football player who like tears kegs over his head on the weekend.
And now after Icebox had the thing with the nice boy that like didn't really work out,
she's ready to go for a bad boy phase.
And they're going to remember each other how they hated.
They're going to end up having a terrible, toxic high school relationship.
I see it.
That's going to possibly end up having the cops called multiple occasions.
But like that's where I see Iceboxes next 10 years ago.
And then she's going to escape this town when she goes to college.
And Spike's going to ruin guys for her.
her for at least five to six years.
Man, you went deep on this.
That's what I do.
You're in deep on this.
Which, okay, before we get to the big game, though, we do have to talk about Icebox
then because she becomes the key thing that changes the odds.
You said they look like they're in a good position to win.
They lose spike.
Lose spike.
Now we do they lose spike.
It's like when you're about to score a touchdown and you're on the one and then somebody
picks it off and runs it all the way back.
Like that was a double swing.
Double swing.
14 point swing.
We were about to score a touchdown.
Now he's on their team.
24 hours prior.
Picks him up.
They get in a Corvette,
two-person car,
three people get in it
because Spikes in the middle randomly.
And he's like, Spike!
Yeah, yeah.
So with that said,
I'm a Cowboy.
With that said,
the Cowboys had already been running practice
and they probably had a running back ready to go.
But Spike comes in and like,
okay,
we're just going to give him the ball.
That's the whole game plan.
Spike get ball.
I would have been pissed if I'm the running back.
Like Icebox.
But I would have understood.
That was Icebox's whole problem.
She was like, no, it's Spike's team now, and now that's going to be one of those other nameless kids.
They didn't like give, one of the kids got named out of there.
They said Briggs.
They have.
The toe.
Oh, you're talking about the Cowboys?
The Cowboys, yeah, yeah.
We didn't really get any of their names.
Briggs was the black kid that, like, played quarterback, I think.
Yeah, he was decent.
Yeah, a decent team.
But the edge was there, and then they lose Spike, who goes on the Cowboys, which is even crazier, which is even crazier, which is even crazy.
Icebox, who decides to become a cheerleader the day before the game.
The team doesn't even know.
It's the night before.
and the team thinks they got icebox, we should be good.
And then the game time, and they're like, okay, so we got the quarterback, and that's it.
That's all they had.
And it's now time for game time.
They've lost their two out of three best players, and it's time to start this game.
This is where I need to clear out the lane and give me some runway on this icebox thing.
So she just decides to bail on the team because she decides the junior's only going to like me if I'm a cheerleader.
So even though this whole thing was her idea, first of all,
She has the all fucking dacity
To quit on her dad the day before
She flips on him because he's like
Oh well my little fullback is gonna
She's like, you're a little fullback
Yeah
That's all I am to you
Yeah
You just want me to beat Kevin
And she's like
Bro this whole thing I'm doing
I've been spending my time coaching this team
For two weeks
Because you tricked me into coaching this team
And spending my time with these gross little
fucking kids
You think I want to do that
Yo if you want to be a chute
A gas station I needed to tend to.
I got a full-time job.
I'm a business owner, okay?
If you wanted to be a cheerleader, do that.
You could have said that from the beginning.
I would have been like, good.
Go be a cheerleader in the fucking peewee football.
Like, you think I would have cared?
And then she has the nerve to say like,
Mom, you should kiss me at night.
He's like, Mom left us.
And he left us.
And she says, she didn't leave us.
She went to a better team.
Yo.
She wouldn't let me play football.
She wouldn't call me her little Fulac either.
Thank you, look.
Mom's not here anymore.
She left us.
She quit.
No.
She didn't quit.
She just found a better team.
I'm not playing tomorrow.
Wait a second.
This was your idea.
I thought winning this game was the most important thing in the world to you.
No, Dad.
This game means everything in the world to you.
What a, yo.
Like, you, I slurs.
She hit it with, like,
You hit him with that?
That's the deep.
That's the deepest fucking, like,
he took responsibility.
Wherever the fuck the mom went,
she took responsibility and was taking care of and let you be whatever you wanted.
You want to be a tomboy and play football?
He let you.
You want to be a cheerleader?
He's letting you.
He seems like a very supportive pops, man.
And you hit him with that.
I don't think he slept that night.
Now he have a big game the next day,
but he got told that to him.
Oh, damn, man.
That's the whole reason he's doing this.
This guy doesn't know shit about football.
You think he had aspiration to be like,
I want to coach a football team and show my brother.
Like, no, you tricked him into it.
And he took, and he said, all right, I'm going to do it.
And then his brother's, like, poke in the bear with him and like, you don't know football.
You can't my mother.
And he was like, all right, you know what?
Maybe I can.
And then, like, wanted to impress his daughter, be like, yeah, I can't.
And then after that, they go to the locker room.
They get the little giants are all getting pumped up.
They're talking through the vent and getting the route.
They're getting Spike growled out.
I love that far when Spike's just like, and his dad just like holding.
him back and he's like, yeah, that's right, son, use that.
And he's like, Spike want to kill.
So they're all getting hyped up.
And then she just knocks on the door and she's like, they don't even know.
None of the kids are even aware.
She's quit the team last second.
And she shows up, she just walks up in her cheerleading outfit and she's just like,
I just wanted to say good luck guys.
And then she just closes the door.
And now all the team is just figuring out.
That's the best player.
Our best player is just bailing on us because she wants to be a cheerleader.
Best player on this team and that team.
It's been said and clear.
She is the best player.
She's cheerleading now.
Oh, my goodness.
This is a seriously, okay, but seriously, fuck you though, moment in a movie.
Icebox.
Get out of here, man.
I can't believe she did this to her team.
That's not.
In fact, I have created a top five list of, okay, seriously, though, fuck you moments.
It's in sports movie history.
I was not told about this.
Hit me.
I like to play a surprise.
Sneaky.
I like to be weave in and out.
All right, here you go.
Surprise.
All right, hit me.
Top five.
Number five.
Mox's girlfriend in varsity blues.
Mox doesn't really care about football.
He's the backup.
He's like,
whatever.
I'm almost getting to college.
I'm going to go to Brown.
His girlfriend, Amy, smart.
Brother, Lance Harbor.
He's the main quarterback.
He gets.
injured now Mock suddenly has to step in and be like oh I'm in the quarterback guess what
Mok's kind of balls Mok starts getting attention suddenly everybody's like giving him
attention like yo you played a great game as soon as he starts doing good she just
becomes the ultimate wet blanket girlfriend of all time she's just sitting there like
everybody wants to talk about you you you're so different person now like I
don't even recognize you it's like yeah he became top dog like support
this is literally the only time of my
life i'm going to get this this is going to last a month season's going to be over i'm going to go off
i'm never going to play football again you can't let me just have like this one month of glory of being
like the man in this town that loves no you're going to immediately she makes sure to hit him at every
point to make sure he feels like shit to not enjoy his success in football not to mention he turned
down the chick with a whipped cream bikini for you also because i was like lances girl and that girl
was big that's another seriously fuck you though moment
different story
Shane Falco in the replacements
I wish I'd have seen these movies
I had no idea what you're about you did we need to just do like a football movie
marathon once now now Shane Falco
I love that character in this movie like
they're replacement players that are now playing
because like the NFL players or whatever
are on strike Martel
the asshole starting quarterback so he crosses
the line and he's like I'm gonna play
this game so Shane was the quarterback
now Shane's not starting
he tells the team like oh well
while you guys are getting your ass kicked by Dallas.
Just kidding.
I'll be on my boat.
And it's like, why do you got to be on your boat, dude?
We might need a backup quarterback.
You could stay in the team.
Maybe Case Martel sucks and he doesn't jive with the new team,
which, by the way, is exactly what happens.
And he has to make a return at halftime,
even though he was on his boat as they have this like halftime interview
where coach Gene Hackman is like, we just need heart.
We need miles of heart.
And then Shane is on his boat.
and he turns it off and he's like,
and then literally the next scene,
Martel's like, nobody can win with these losers
and he's just like, I can't.
It's like you were on your boat two minutes ago
and somehow now you're just in the locker room.
You didn't need to bail on the team the first one
and then like insult him, backhand him with that.
Yeah.
Anyways, that's number two.
Number three, Lala from He Got Game,
who is cheating on Jesus Shuttlesworth
with her guy, Andre,
gets Jesus to take a meeting with the agent
that's like his boy.
and while meeting with the agent at the house,
Lala's in the pool with like Andre Canoodling,
like right in front of Jesus.
So Jesus had everybody right to bang a couple hookers
when he went to visit the college with Rick Fox.
If you haven't seen He Got Game either, dude, I can't.
Dude, this list would be so much more fun
if I was sitting with somebody that's seen any movies.
Tell me the movies beforehand so I could watch them.
I have no idea what you got.
I watched Little Giants and I'm ready to go off on the final game,
but you're going into this, go ahead.
It's okay.
I know you got,
you're going to know the next one.
Dottie, League of Their Own.
Oh, I'll give you that one.
Who was just going to up and leave the team.
Right before the world.
Without even saying bye to Jimmy,
I didn't even going to tell him.
She told the team.
She was just like,
P-Souty.
We'll see you then.
Man, good luck in the World Series.
He didn't tell the coach.
It wasn't even going to say anything to him.
Coach is cocky, too.
He's going to the World Series cocky.
He's like, we got this.
Oh, I can't go to the World Series about Stillwell's toys.
Yeah.
But then comes back for game seven.
And bailed on the team for six games in the World Series.
She went to Yellowstone and turned around.
If she didn't leave, they probably win that World Series going away.
They easily.
They don't need to pull off game seven because they got Dottie.
She's the queen of the diamonds.
And number five is Icebox for this moment.
Just, I don't know.
I'm a cheerleader now, guys.
Couldn't believe she did this to her team.
Yeah, my God.
Couldn't believe it.
So now it's game time.
That's game time.
They've now bet on each other's businesses.
They say at the beginning of the game, all right, let's bet each other's businesses.
I get the gas station.
You get my car dealership.
We got a bet going on.
And what a crazy bet.
What has Danny possibly seen from his team.
It gives him any confidence to put his business on the line.
After he lost Spike.
He lost your two best players.
You just literally have the nerds now.
All the kids that like can't fucking run, can't throw, can't catch.
And you're like, yeah, you know what?
I actually do like the fact that when he turns around and run, he's like,
what am I doing?
What are you doing?
It's a great question.
You don't know anything about loyalty.
You don't know anything about heart.
I would put that gas station up against any business in this town.
What'd you think?
Yes, I would.
Are you sure about that?
Yes, I am.
Okay, fine.
Okay, fine.
What are we talking about?
We're talking about my car dealership against your gas station.
Winner of this game takes it all.
You're on.
Fine.
Okay.
I'll even let you call it.
Open up your fist.
Heads.
Tails.
Danny, this is going to be the longest day of your life.
We'll see about that.
What the hell am I doing?
And the Cowboys go...
First of all, the first half, score 21 unanswered points.
When I'm watching this game, and you're watching this thing,
it should have been 52 points.
All I'm thinking when I'm seeing that is like,
there's no reason the Cowboys should not score on every single play.
Every drive.
Literally, they got like five people on spikes back.
He's literally carrying the team on his back, just like.
And they don't move on offense.
As a matter of fact, one of the kids goes in a circle
and has a perfect lay where he has the team follow.
All he had to do was go straight once he had the team following him.
He had a touchdown.
Instead, he just keeps circling, circle into, blow the whistle.
Blow the whistle.
I was like, I mean, it's a good strategy.
Clearly the team's a bunch of idiots
They're following you in a circle like that
Go the other way they tackle you but anyway
It should have been a 52 to nothing
Maybe even more game going in the half time
What was your ace in the pocket? The the cowboy kid that looks like he's six who said at the beginning of the movie
He doesn't like or watch football was that you're like well though he's gonna be the secret weapon
Don't worry
The nerdy kid who showed up in bubble wrap like who is the ace of the squad
They had the quarterback and he had nobody to throw to nothing to do and they
But the Giants hold him
to 21 points.
They should have covered 40 to nothing in the first half.
I noticed why do these halves fly by?
I mean, I'm okay for the sake of time in the movie.
But, like, yeah, the Cowboys basically have three possessions
where it's just Spike runs down the field and scores.
Touchdown.
And then it's a new, like, half time.
And they're hating it.
They're about to quit.
But the fact that there's only 21 points astounded me.
Now they're about to quit.
And then they get an inspirational talk, right?
The, at least one time.
Yeah, you know, I beat my brother one time down the hill on Cherry Lane.
And it's like...
This is that one time.
And he says to him, they're like, yeah, but we suck at football.
And he's like, you don't have to be good to play football?
And I'm like, I mean, a little bit.
I don't know.
Not exactly the Al Pacino's speech from any given Sunday here.
So what?
It still doesn't make us good football players.
Wait a second, guys.
Whoever said you had to be good to play football?
You play football because you want to.
You play football because it's fun.
And even if those cowboys are better than you guys,
even if they beat you 99 times,
out of a hundred that still leaves one time one time yeah one time like i don't know do you want to win the game
i think being good is as it has a little to do with it yeah somewhat somewhat a little bit and with that it's half time
icebox has been cheerleading for half the game and she sees her team getting squallywacked literally stomped on that one kid got
the cowboy kid got fucking printed into the ground by spike dude two feet into the ground
They made a print about them.
They're getting their asking, and she still, through halftime, continues to be a cheerleader.
Sis boom bar, right, right, right.
She just keeps, she keeps going.
And I was like, at least half time she would have changed.
No, no, no.
It takes to the second half, okay, where her man that she wants, so what's his name again?
Junior.
Junior gets.
Devonsawa.
Spike decides to do the legal hit and smash him.
Well, they had a pretty good couple plays there at the beginning.
That's why that's the dad sent him on him.
I think he had a good play.
He ran it at 30 yards.
They were moving the ball going second half.
And then it gets smashed.
Spike slams him.
He's out the game.
I actually do like the...
Because there's not a clear villain in this movie.
It's like, okay, Kevin's sort of painted as the villain, but also, like, you kind of
understand.
He's a gamer.
He's a lifetime football player.
He's like known in the town.
Like, obviously he wants to build a winning team.
From a competitive standpoint, like, you could understand where he's coming from.
So he's not like an outright villain.
He's just cocky about how he delivers it.
So I like the fact that then he goes up and he brings square-headed Spike's dad over
and he's like, if you and your kid do that again, you're both out of there.
You know what I mean?
Like he stands up for it.
He's like, he's like, hey, I thought you wanted to win.
He's like, not like that.
You crazy, what kind of a call is that?
You blind.
Very nice, you mean, bully.
Hammersmith.
If that kid of yours pulls another stunt like that, you're both out of here.
Hey, come on.
I thought you wanted to win.
Not like that.
It's like, fuck yeah, Kevin.
Kevin O'Shea.
Keeps a little bit of morality there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Stick to your morals right there.
You don't want to beat your brother like that.
First of all, you got all the best players in the field, basically.
You don't need to do that shit.
But there was that first play that they got where they got the one yard in the second half.
And then they're like, we got a yard.
And then Kevin's like, just one yard.
It's nothing.
And I wrote down like, hey, he's right, dude.
That's fucking nothing.
The next play, they get a 30-yard run down the sideline.
They do like a flea flicker or something like that.
He's running down the silent.
So it ends up starting to be the game.
Well, can I just say, what the fuck happened to the Cowboys in this game?
The entire second half, they cannot tackle at all.
They're literally just like, ah, the whole second half.
They don't know how to tackle second half.
And giants are getting away with the most ridiculous plays winning on them all.
First of all, I forget what the first one was.
But I know Hans, hot hands, decides to turn, finally get the ball.
and turned it into a toilet paper.
Because for some reason, he can...
He knows how to catch a toilet paper.
He got that down.
He knows how to catch Charmin Ultra.
The kid's dad finally shows up.
They're like, just run after your dad.
And he makes some smooth moves.
He does a double foot right turn.
Why did he do that?
The last thing we saw the night before his dad's like,
all right, sport, I'll be back in a few days.
Comes back the next day for the game.
What's he doing?
What's he doing at the game?
Did your flight get killed?
There was never explained why he's there.
And by the way, like I said earlier,
That was that kid's whole personality.
His dad works a lot.
Runs a 90 yard.
The back of his jersey says Viper.
They didn't ever even call them that.
Like, where did that nickname come from?
They were just like, I don't know.
We forgot to give him a personality or background story.
Put Viper on the back, let it a play.
Oh, and then the third touchdown, I think it was the first one,
was the little kid who read Tad?
Yeah.
He was like, I don't know.
That one I have an issue.
Of all, okay, there's two moments specifically.
I have a big issue from an athletic standpoint.
We see at the beginning.
Getting in the movie when they're doing like tryouts,
Redhead runs like a fucking dupist.
He's like, and he just has time.
It's like 12 seconds.
What was the one?
When the fat kid runs through.
And he's like, whoa, what was my time?
And then Ed O'Neill's like, I don't know.
I don't have a sundial.
I love Ed O'Neill's like, his sharp, like, yeah, like fucking back.
That's what made Al Bundy a legend right there.
8.5.
Excellent, Briggs.
I do, coach.
I don't know, son.
I don't have a sundialedile.
Back in line.
So, and then he dodges two kids.
They run into the Gatorade,
and he's able to run for a touchdown.
So three touchdowns unanswered.
The game is 20.
Wait, wait, wait, I didn't even finish his sentence.
You're going to tell me that Red Tad,
the kid that we saw running like this fucking thrown is a...
Suddenly he can outrun the entire Cowboys defense.
They're all chasing.
Learn how to tackle.
I don't know what happened to him.
Get your squad together, Kev.
But after the kid runs after his dad,
scores the final touchdown,
There is a, oh, it is now time for the Cowboys take over and they just, Trump, go ahead.
What you got?
You got something?
No, I was just thinking.
Well, because I was just talking about how, so I like how Ed O'Neill has that, like,
sharp, backheaded joke delivery.
You know what else I love that he does?
He's the best at, like, saying something that makes himself chuckle, like, the way he laughs
at his own stuff.
So at the beginning, when they're doing the face off and they start, like, getting into it.
And he's like, yeah, I wouldn't trust somebody that sunk his last dime into starting his own gas station.
he's like, that's been an institution, this community for 40 years.
It's a landmark.
And he's like, it should be a landfill.
And he like laughs at himself.
He's so pleased with that joke.
Ed O'Neill's still.
He's good.
Had a good timing.
Relevant.
From married with children to this movie to modern family.
Like, anytime he says something that makes himself laugh, like he's still the king of that, dude.
He's still the four touchdown champ of making yourself laugh jokes.
I don't have to take that.
Not from a guy who sunk his last dime into a broken down gas station.
That busted down gas station has been servicing this community for over 40 years.
It's a landmark.
It ought to be a land fill.
Anyways.
So it's Cowboys' Ball.
They're running down and they're doing, of course, what they've done all game.
Spike's taking it, and he's just carrying, carry it.
Just give the ball of Spike every time.
Comes down to the final play, and Spike says a classic line of,
Your Mind, Pomp, classic line about talking to Icebox, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
The wife comes down of the quarterback.
No, that was, what's her name?
The mom of the quarterback, I believe, right?
Patty Floyd.
We never talked about that scene when he first realizes that Patty Floyd is his mom,
and they both, like, go to the door, and him and Icebox, both, like, are like,
and they hide and everything.
Yeah, it was a classic scene.
I had a moment.
You can't talk about everything.
We'll go through the whole movie.
I had a moment like that once in.
We were, like, somebody, I was trying to hide, and, like, they kind of walked by,
and they were like, I was like, I was looking at the specs on the rotary, and I'm retarded.
So she comes down and tells him, do you remember the championship of this thing?
He goes, oh, that's right.
Timeout.
Time out of.
He should have been like, no, get out here.
I'm trying to coach a game.
Timeout.
And this is with the T.
Tell us to play.
Mick Moranis timeouts like this.
Who timeouts this far apart?
Show the replay right now.
Danny.
Do you remember that championship game with Sutterville?
The one where Kevin scored the winning touchdown.
Timeout.
Nobody timeouts like that.
And then they go and then they know the play.
Somehow and they all shift left and he's like Ed O'Neill's like they know the play
They know the play it's an easy audible. It's an easy audible. Okay, so the whole
defense is shift to the right side. You haven't called time out until your change the play. Hey, what have we actually
just ran it this way? Yeah, yeah
Maybe the whole defense being the right side means like you know what? How about I go this way a little
And by this point? And by this point, they're no shift. They got they got spike held
behind the line. Spike does a reverse comes back in ice box decides to stop
right at the one yard line.
And I think it's just from the touchdown.
That was actually the best shot sports moment of it.
Like way they both come flying in at each other and they're like,
well, Spike jumps from the five yard line way too early.
I don't know what he's like.
I'm going to, and the ice box stops him.
But the way they meter, yeah, like the collision is shot well.
And then they're like, get out of the way.
And he's holding the ball.
And all he had to do is pushing forward.
Reach over.
Four or six inches.
Instead, he'd have to.
Held it.
No good.
Giants ball with four seconds left.
And it took me back to a moment when me and Justin used to play.
I won't name any names.
No names here.
But there was a moment when me and him played a beach football league.
We had it.
We had it.
I had been talking shit to our team all week too.
Like we're going to win this.
Last play.
A friend of ours who went to college on our team.
He all he did.
Got it.
He just fell forward.
All you do is get the ball over the line
Get it over.
And he just fell to me.
He just fell face first.
He didn't even try to extend the ball and he just fell flat.
Exactly the way Spike falls.
And we lost.
And we lost the game on that.
It's a frustrating one.
Yeah.
It's a frustrating one.
They stop them.
We don't have too many of those left.
Game time.
What are we going to run?
And the coach kid comes in with the annexation of who?
Puerto Rico.
Okay.
Since that was a kid.
Love that day.
I was like, oh, is that Puerto Rico?
They're talking about Puerto Rico.
Like we got to, I don't even know what the annexation of Puerto Rico.
means, but they call this play that.
I think it's a historical moment that happened.
Let's ask chat, TBT.
You being Puerto Rican should know about your history of your ancestors here.
Let me see what this guy says.
Annexation of Puerto Rico, comma, what does that mean?
Question mark.
Let's see.
You're on the spot right now.
Take it forever.
We'll see if it pops up.
Well, what the actual play is is it's built around something that John Madden actually
popularized back in a day called the Fumbourousi.
So it's a trick play where the court.
quarterback purposely fumbles it but then you have a guy right next to him so meanwhile while the
quarterback does it he sells it like he's turning around to like go run this way but the fullback
was right next to him and casually picks it up and then he runs this way i saw i watched a video earlier
today where Nebraska performed it to a tee in like the early 80s but in this case they just leave it
for the center the center who just sits there with it picks it up and holds it for about five
Everybody else is blocking and nobody is.
Icebox, they think Icebox had the ball.
He tackles her.
No chance.
And she's like, no mercy.
No mercy.
She's like, no ball.
And then the last kid on a team full of slow
on athletic kids.
You got the slowest.
You give it to the slowest.
Unathletic kid who's running harder than he's ever run in his life.
Trying to like score this game.
Of course, they're going to chase him down.
Expertly tosses it back.
Blindly.
Yeah.
Hope, when they're about to tackle me, I'm throwing it back.
Executed beautifully though because it bounced once and juniors right there for the scoop up
I thought he caught it like in the air no he had to catch it off the bounce and now juniors are
You know the way footballs are shaped that's not an easy play
You got an easy play you got off the bounces all the time and junior's going you're like that's the player you want with the ball
He's running he's running he's running and he's about to get tackled oh no they're done
Junior decides to laterally to these smallest
Most fragile kid who also laid out spike in like the last favorite ever
Got to talk about it.
He laid out Spike on a single tackle.
That was the other one.
Flattened him.
I said there were two plays.
I said earlier, there were two plays that bothered me as a sports fan.
One was Rad Tad all of a sudden being able outrun the entire Cowboys defense.
The other one, he felt like his mom was like getting slated.
He's like, you don't talk about my mom.
And then somehow that makes the smallest kid on the field be able to suddenly lay out Spike who's like.
He didn't just lay him out.
Who's like 19 years old and like 185 pounds solid muscle.
And then his mom gets all hyped about it in the crowd and for some reason the whole crowd just like no sells her
How's the crowd not just as high? She's like, whew, and they're all looking at her like, what are you doing?
The kid just flattened the greatest running back in the field.
Share with her!
Everybody should be like, yeah, I'm hyped with her.
They're all looking at her, but I did.
I did always think it's funny the way she does that last like.
That last like head turn she does?
I always made me laugh.
But yeah, that kid gets the ball and now he's really.
running with the ball.
I got the football.
And the defense is like right on his tail, right?
And then suddenly they cut to the wide shot.
And you're like, oh, they're about to.
And we literally last see, you see Spike like start to jump.
And then in the wide shot, spikes just like.
Five yards away from him.
No chance.
And he runs into the goalposts.
And little Giants win.
28 unanswered points.
The Cowboys didn't score a single point the entire second half.
The Giants went on like 28 to zero run, 27 to zero runs.
I'm sorry because they didn't get through the extra.
Anyway, 27 on answer, I couldn't believe it.
What a meltdown from the Cowboys.
A meltdown of epic proportions, which brings me to this,
is the Cowboys 21-0-blown lead against the Little Giants
the worst meltdown in sports movie history?
Sports movie history, yes, but not the greatest in sports history.
That has to go to ATL against New England with a 28 to 3, I think it was.
28 to 3
28 to 3
And the goat
I hate to say
But he is
Came back and won that Super Bowl
Can you believe it
28 to 3
I was in Vegas watching this
And I was talking a bunch of shit
Because I didn't care
And then I became a New England fan
Because I didn't care
I'd do that
I'm a bandwagon fan
I was like alright
Let's go Tom
Yeah
Hear me out
Alright go ahead
Because if you know
Who you're podcast
And with you know at this point
I come with receipts
So
Here are my other options
What else you got?
Other candidates for biggest meltdown?
Biggest meltdown in sports movie history.
First of all, I'm going to go ahead and do the obvious, the companion of this movie.
You got the Mighty Ducks who came back from 3-0 down against the Hawks.
Did they win that 4-0?
Yeah, they ended up winning it.
And then they won on Charlie's like triple D move, you know?
So they were down.
And extra points, though.
No, it was like the last second of the game because he got fouled.
So it was literally just like, oh, it was a penalty.
Penalty because he got tackled.
Okay, okay.
So they came back from 3-0.
That's a pretty good bum.
I gotta give a shout-out to Rocky coming back from Ivan Drago,
beating the shit out of him.
He was getting his ass.
Doraco was handing it to him for like eight rounds.
He was getting moped up on his face.
And boxing movies back then didn't believe in defense.
So he's literally just like,
huh,
huh,
come on.
And Drago was like a huge beast monster who had like never even made.
And gave him brain damage.
He killed a polo.
Yeah, he could.
killed Apollo with those same fists
and then suddenly Rocky's just taking it.
And then he lands one hit on him in and they're like,
he's cut! And suddenly he's able
to hang in there with Drago and then take the big
rushing down at the end of it. So that was
a pretty big collapse. I'm just
going to throw that out there. And the final one?
I think the winner has to be
Space Jam,
the Tune Squad, we're literally losing to the point where the
scoreboard said kind of one-sided, isn't it?
They stopped keeping score. That's how much the
Mon Stars were trucking the Tune Squad.
They're just like,
this is a point don't matter anymore, right?
Yeah, and then, and then,
Bugs brought out, Bill Murray shows up.
Yeah, and Bugs brought out Michael's special stuff,
you know, which was just water,
but he got like Tweety Bart all pumped up
and Sylvester and all the gang.
And then suddenly they, same thing.
But they had Michael.
He can't lose with Michael.
They did have Michael Jordan.
He never loses in the finals.
No, even if he has to stretch his arm out, like, 90 feet.
to make it happen.
You know,
Michael will do what need be done.
Yeah.
It's not taking an L to the Monstars, you know?
And he had,
who had more in the line?
He was going to be a slave to Moran Mountain,
whereas Danny was ready to give up his whole business, you know?
An old gas station.
But they were,
they were clearly ready to just call off a bet.
What a comeback.
As you're watching,
you're like,
are these giants really going to make this comeback?
And they had Alka-Seltzer.
They had...
They pulled out all the tricks.
They pulled out all the tricks.
The gas man had to use his dastry way.
And I wanted to say that, how is that play not used in the NFL?
Like, I don't know how they're going to like, all right, you guys saved up?
All right, cool, right before we start to play, do that.
Right before you get to the line, an NFL NFL game, just turn around and then turn around and say hike.
And the defense is going to be startled.
They're going to be like, maybe throw up.
They might throw up, depending on what you ate the night before.
I think maybe because those are professional football players and not a bunch of 10-year-old.
I don't know.
Sounds like a good strategy.
and not a bunch of 10-year-old children from a Disney movie.
I don't know.
I say Steelers need to try that this week against the Texans.
Watch the episode, guys, and you need to go ahead and...
By the time this comes out, they probably would have already lost that game.
Shut up.
Hey.
My team's in.
Is your team in?
Yes, they are.
We're playing the Eagles.
Shit.
It's very possible that we both might be bounced by the time this game.
No, Steelers got the rod.
Or maybe we're on the trajectory.
of facing in the Super Bowl.
A Super Bowl matchup that's never happened,
even though we have two of the most historic franchises
in the history of the NFL.
Rogers. I got Rogers.
One thing I do appreciate about this movie
is that it's tight.
It's like they get 15 minutes into the movie.
You're already like we're building teams.
And then the movie ends,
they have their little like, you know what?
I got an idea.
How about...
The O'Shea Brothers.
The O'Shea Brothers on the Water Tower,
which, by the way, I miss Water Tower.
I feel like some Midwest towns still have them,
but I feel like it's a classic look
that they used to have from used to have.
No, no conspiracy theorists about water towers.
Like, how was there really that much water to do anything for anybody?
Anyways, don't go down that row with me.
I don't go down that row with me.
They just look cool in like a town like that, you know what I mean?
It's a small town like that.
O'Shea Brothers and then credits.
And we're out.
Okay.
So I have a name for this now because, like, you know how usually I like to say like,
oh, I just want to run down the final C notes?
I got an idea for, because when I watch these movies,
I take notes, as I'm watching it, here's what I'm going to call this segment from now
when we do movies.
cleaning off the note sheet.
But I put a little shimmy shine sound right there.
And that's just where I just run through the notes
and anything that didn't cover.
I just want to like throw real quick in there.
Just as like a last little thought
before we close this one out.
Hit us.
First thing I had is crunchy over puff, cheese puffs.
You'll never get anywhere treating your helmet
like a lunchbox, son.
What is that?
Cheetos.
Crunchy or puffed?
Puffed.
Wimps.
Crunchy or puffy?
Puffing, and he's like,
ah, you wimp.
I agree with Kevin on that one.
I like the crunchy ones over the big, thick, puff ones.
I never enjoyed those ones.
I'll throw one in.
Yeah, yeah.
It's hard.
While getting ready and having to get some money for the team so they can get better uniforms,
they use one of the most classic songs for one of the classic activities ever.
This, wait, this was actually my note.
Go ahead.
What's your note?
What's the group that sings a song?
Rose Royce.
Rolls and Royce?
Rose Royce.
One name.
All right.
The geniusness of making a song called the car wash,
in which case, from that's point on, any scene where they do a car wash scene,
that song's going to be played.
And you're going to get paid for it.
Because, yeah, they do a car wash scene in this where they end up spraying butts
in his convertible.
He literally rolls up just to talk shit.
You don't even belong on the same field as your brother.
$1 for the wash button.
I'm just gonna embarrass yourself with them little dirt ball.
El, if I was a mom a hen and they was my chicks, I'd lead them to water and let them drown.
You know, it just occurred to me, Harold, you're the 10th car that's come in here today.
I think you're entitled to a free wash.
Okay, guys, wash it.
Genius idea, because, like, any time you've ever seen a car watchman, except for in Dodgeball when they actually do milkshake, I remember that.
But yeah, any other car washing ever, they're going to end up playing that song.
Genius song.
There's seriously no chance any of these kids would have beat this team at anything.
These kids wouldn't have been good at anything they did.
There's a lot of notes where I just kind of get that reinforced.
You really hated the Giants.
None of those kids.
None of those kids showed off any athletic ability throughout the entire movie.
Like if they at least had done like a, oh, hot hands actually does learn how to catch a little bit.
But even the night before.
He caught a touchdown.
The night before, he literally got pegged with tar on his hand.
He's trying to cheat by.
the way and he ended up fucking kicking him in the ass literally kicking him in the back of
that and i actually remember thinking that scene was really funny when i was a kid when he's
running and he's like ah he's fucking pegs him in the back of that and you're the best player
on our team oh here's a good one mark holton low-key sports movie MVP makes another
appearance and you know who mark holton is i made a video that's actually one of our more
successful TikTok videos ever about how he is a sports movie legend actually not even just sports
movie yeah yeah i was i was gonna mention that he's back in this one too he's in teen wolf he's uh the foyle
and peewee's big adventure he was adult still well angel and league of their own and then he shows up
again as the gas man's dad yeah yeah oh yeah he's he's doing the like he was holding up that yeah
he's literally that he does that and then he like kisses him good night and he's like
don't think about football
and then he's like got cleats on
and then he and then he's the one sitting next
to the short hair lady when he like no sells
her like rooting on.
Yeah they all threw her under the bus on that.
I actually know his name at this point because
oh and he's the guy who calls out
Enrico Palazzo and naked gun.
Fucking legend.
Mark Holton.
Remember the name.
And those football helmet phones
are absolutely legendary.
I'm ready to do the draft of those back in the day
it's like it looks like a helmet
and then you pick up the phone.
I miss that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kevin had a show that real quick
He had a Dallas Cowboy won
Which by the way
Which team do you think was more insulted
By being used in this movie
The Cowboys are the Giants
Even though the Giants won
The Giants probably got more insulted
They're called the Little Giants
And they're like the loser team
The whole time
And this movie was made
Like right in like the peak of like
Cowboys were running shit at this point
They haven't been anything since
This might be the reason
This is the end of their peak right here
It's like the pinnacle of the Dallas Cowboys
And then from this point they were
Yeah
Emmett Smith just happened to be in too
Like he was a cowboy
Boy,
got him,
Smith in there.
You know what's funny
is this movie
takes place in Ohio
and they make no effort
to like have either team
be the Browns.
They're like,
we're going to take these
two teams
or completely different.
Other NFC's team.
The idea to make that decision
ended up working out
because a year later
the Browns left Cleveland.
So it would have aged poorly
real quick.
Became the Ravens
of which the Steelers
just beat out the playoffs.
Yeah,
fuck the rules.
Sorry Lamar.
Loop,
you piece of.
That's it, man.
I think we did a good rap.
of this little giant
Super Bowl coming up, Super Bowl
407?
It's definitely more than that.
It's like 50.
It's close to 60, I feel like.
I know 50 was 2015.
So yeah, I think we're about 60.
This is Super Bowl LX.
That's 60.
Yeah.
Is that 60?
Ask Chat Cheapstein.
I mean, I asked this computer,
but it gave me LX.
I'm pretty sure that's 60.
Yeah, because I remember 2015
was Super Bowl 50
because that was my first year
at the NFL,
and that was the Broncos and Panthers one.
And I still had a hoodie.
I still got a beanie of Super Bowl 50.
Yes, Super Bowl 60.
Yes.
All right, there we at.
Oh, and the last thing I wrote down, most 1994 thing about this,
other than the Cowboys being on top, camcorders.
Camquarters.
Camquarters.
Brad Tad's dad in the crowd has like a whole fucking thing that's like this big.
Like, yeah, let's go dad.
It's like this big.
And it's just the girl.
Good time.
Kevin's daughter is always filming shit for some reason.
I miss those times, to be honest.
Well, now all we need is this.
But we have that.
