Melbourne and Canada, we got exciting news for you. And we should also say this is 2026. Jess, what year is it? 2026. Thank God you're here. Right now, I'm in Melbourne doing my show with Serenji Amarna, 630 each night at the Cooper's Inn Hotel, having so much fun. We'd love to see you there.

Canada, we are visiting you in September this year. If you've somehow missed the news, we are heading up Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, and Toronto for shows. That's going to be so much fun. Tickets for all this stuff, I believe, are online. And I'm here too. This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network. Visit planetbroadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates.

And welcome to another episode of Do Go On. My name is Dave Wornikey and I'm joined by my two faithful pals, Jess and Matt. We are not faithful. I've been fucking around on you, Dave. Oh, no. Potting around. I've been potting around on you, Dave. I'm on eight other podcasts.

Well, if I could fuck around, I would, but I can't. So I'm stuck with you. And you know what? We've got a special guest here today, which is, a rare occurrence for us, but very exciting to welcome from Sanspans Radio. You know him. It's Joel Dusha. Hello. Hey, guys, how's it going? Thanks so much for having me. You know him. Who are you talking to? I'm applauding. You know, I do know him. Yeah, you've been potting around behind my back on his pod.

I've potted with the douche. Twice. You have twice. Both great episodes. Great times. They were great times. I found out that and people have told me a few times since that your pod it has a lot to do with fucking animals. So there's been a recent trend of yeah, because obviously we don't start episodes like that. There's been a recent trend of

the other two in the podcast, Jackson and Joel Zammett. Following just like, we'd be like, all right, cool, all right, so which dog should have a superpower? And then we'd be talking for like 20 minutes and all of a sudden someone would be like, yeah, but what would that make their dick like? And then all of a sudden we're talking about dog dick.

And it happened with, your episode, but also we had Al from two of the thing take on recently, and exactly the same thing happened. Straight to Doug Dick. Well, it was his fault this time, because we were doing an episode. Actually, it wouldn't have come out yet, so he's a bit of a sneak peek. It was which fictional character doesn't have a dog, but should have a dog. That was the topic.

I love it. Forrest Gump. Good answer. He should definitely have a dog. Well, I mean, like, he would be well exercised from when he, like, he would be well exercised from when he, like, walked across America. Totally. Yeah.

And I think, like, because I think at times he's quite lonely. Yeah. I think he'd probably kill the dog by giving a chocolate. No. No, he's not, well, he's a simple man, but he's not an idiot. Well. It's hard to say, like, everyone should go back and watch Forest Gump, but imagine if there was a dog there and just see what happened. Yeah.

Imagine it watching the ping pong going backwards and forwards. Oh, I'd love it. I'm imagining a Labrador too, by the way. Or maybe like a, maybe a beagle. See, I was imagining a small, fluffy dog. Oh, interesting. So the dog's small and fluffy, but what's its dick like? Now it's pretty much sounds like an episode of Pullman in the Death Store.

Yeah, there we go. But yeah, that's pretty much what happened in that episode was things were fine for about 25 minutes. We're all having a great time. And then we spoke about Spider-Man, and then we were just saying dog Spider-Man. And then we were worried about, because, like, a man climbing a wall versus a dog walking up a wall, you'd be just like looking at a window at At its stick Yeah

And then things just got Wildly out of control from there The spandex Well I tried to suggest that And then unfortunately the other two boys Alistair was to blame for this too Rann with it It was

Al's a real yes man Yes and man He's a yes and man She's and a man Yes and more Dog Dick But yeah If you haven't listened to Plob in the Death Start

It's worth a listen and it's not all just dog genitalia. We talk about other animals too. No, any episode with dog dick is a good jumping off point. Yeah, yeah. Well, any episode that Matt was on and also any episode that Al appears on,

which one has come out and we're releasing another one with him on it. Dave was on an episode a couple of years ago as well. He was on Shut Up a second. Yeah, that was good fun. Which I was going to bring up today because the day that we recorded that episode was also the day that you got the do-go on art.

And I remember, because, yeah, Dave was talking to us about like launching a podcast. Yeah, that's right. And I showed, I was like, is this logo okay? Because I made it and I'm no Photoshop genius. You're pretty good. Yeah. Thank you.

You do all our Photoshop stuff. I am a Photoshop savant, just not a genius. So yeah, if someone goes back through the Shut Up a Second archives, birds and Birds Part 2, is there any birds left? The two very, very good episodes. And often cited by our fans as some of the best. Had a lot of fun, though I did not know at the time that flamingos can fly. That's embarrassing.

None of us did. We actually got a really angry tweet from Mr. Sunday movies about this. I'm not surprised. They can? It was like flamingos can fly, you dumb fucks. But then deleted it because in the episode we end up watching a video of flamingo flying. I'm like, oh. I love a podcast where goes early on an angry tweet.

Doesn't even listen to the end of the episode. Do they fold up their legs or their legs just hang? No, their legs are like, I'm pretty sure, like straight out behind them. Yeah, they look like a. Concord-star plane, like long and thin. That sounds awesome. I mean, dumb. Yeah.

That looks so silly. I love flamingos. Did you know they could fly? We hadn't thought about it because I think that was the trap we fell into. Yeah, I just never considered it. Now I can't. Not surprised either way. I've also never thought about if zebras can fly.

And they can't, so. 50-50. There you go. Anyway, all right, Dave, then. Just in case, Dusha doesn't understand what the show is, which really fingers crossed he does because he's doing the report today. That's right.

You've come all this way. Report! What? So if you haven't heard the show before, do you sure, I assume you have. I have. Thank God for that.

He's heard it one time. It's all you need. You get the gist. You've heard one, you've heard them all right? It's not like the topics are different in any way. What happens is one of us just,

one of us has given a topic to report on. Usually it's Matt Jessarai, but this week it is you. And the other people in the room, which is the three of us, us don't know what the topic is going to be. And I believe that I ask a question and then you guys have to guess, right? Yes, you ask a question to get us onto that topic.

It's so rare that the three of us, because normally when Dave does a report, it's the SaaS twins get to hang shit on Dave. It's so rare that the three of us just get to be loosey-goosey. And get to hang shit on a special guest. I'm really excited for the bullying that's about to happen. Yeah, the friendly bullying. Yeah, friendly bullying. The tears are friendly too.

Yeah, it's fine. All right, so my topic, I've thought long and hard about this. Which is very undue, go on of you, because especially the question part. So, well, I haven't thought hard about the question at all. That's where I was going to go to it. Sorry, that's good. So who is the most handsome man you can think of in Hollywood today? Matt Stewart.

In Hollywood today, thank you, Jess. I'm guessing it. Well, that's it. I've nailed it. All right. Well, I was going to do a joke answer. Brad Pitt. Now, what's that guy?

The guy, I always forget his name, but he's the guy who... John Goodman. I don't understand. Oh, close. Actually. No. Oh, damn. He was in that Steve Correll movie and the notebook movie.

Steve Correll? Ryan Gosling. Yes, Ryan Gosling. He's the guy who I think people normally say is the most handsome, but I don't fully see it. But he does, he seems like a nice guy. I'm not saying he's a bad guy. He was cast in the notebook because they wanted someone kind of plain looking.

Yeah, that's what I think he just looks like a real, like a real, Like if someone drew him with a pencil. That is absolutely true. And I know that because that is today's time. Yay! Ryan Gosling! Yes. Why, how did you come to that?

I'm so okay with this. Okay, so he is probably my favorite actor of all time. Wow. I'm very fond of a lot of his films. And I know that everyone, I know at this point, do go on listeners, would have already seen the title of the episode. They would have got there already

and may not have listened to it because it's not a murder mystery. I know that your audience is very fond of those. So you're telling us he's not going to die. No, he doesn't. Or murder. Or murder. Well,

We don't know. He's yet to murder anyone. At the time of recording, he has not died or murdered anyone. But I'm happy to come back into a Ryan Gosling part to either of those things happen, especially in a mysterious way. Perfect. But yeah, I know a big fan of him. We have to call it Ryan Gosling to even more Ryan Gosling.

It's like the birds episode of yours. Gosling's that are kind of bird. They are. Can they fly? Yes. What is wrong with you? I just don't know if birds can fly. I'm bad.

We discovered last week with colors and I'm bad with bird flying abilities. Maybe guzzlings can't fly until they're gus. Yeah, that's true. Until they are gus. If you see a flying gosling, you're looking at a goose. How they don't find it? Just the smug, look on his face. It was like a centuries-old saying.

He's like, I'm clever because I know it. I feel like somehow you could work in a way, but you're really looking to a mirror, and you're looking at a goose. Because you're... You're the goose. At yourself, you're a goose. Goslings can't fly.

Which may not even be true. All right. Well, they've got to learn at some point, don't they? I might come back and do an episode on geese. It's Brian Gosling Part 2 geese. If you wouldn't mind. Ryan, goose. Ryan goose.

He's become the goose. Well, So I don't know about you guys I don't know much about the man I do Jess and Matt you know a bit I know a bit I don't know anything about him I've seen some of his movies

I can't pull Are you gonna go through some of the movies he's in? I'm gonna go through a lot of the movies he's in Because he's like his career is like It's big but it's not Like I pretty much touch on his whole filmography Without it being a three hour report kind of thing

Sure right because I don't know I can't recall of I've ever seen a film he's That crazy stupid love is the one I've seen And I haven't seen that book What else are you in? Did you see the nice guys? Oh, I've seen the one with,

is that with Russell Crow? Yes. Yeah, I've seen that one. Lala land. I haven't seen it. These are all nose. I thought you were a big movie man, Dave.

You're not a big movie man at all. No, I don't have enough time. You like the Oscars though. Which Lala Land swept. Yeah, there you go. Except when it won best picture,

but then. But it didn't. Yeah. That was good. Anyway, so I'll launch straight into it. So I knew like a lot about like Ryan Gosling

like Hollywood times basically but I'd know it to everybody's early life turns out in a real fucked childhood. But not in like a not in like the oh his parents were abusive and like it's just like weird so he was born on the 12th of November in 1980 in London but the one in Canada

not that is weird not the UK he's yeah he's Canadian he is the son of Thomas and Donna Gosling Donna Gosling is a great name Tom Gosling Tom Gozley I love it.

Guys, I love it. What about Donna Goz? I'm so in straight away. Donna Goz. Fuck yes. Great names. Just we'll turn at some point. Yeah.

Well, Tom Goz was a traveling salesman for a paper mill, which I then was like, how do you were traveling salesman for a paper mill? Double, like, second guess myself was like, maybe I just don't know what a paper mill is. No, it's a factory that makes paper. So I guess he was a door-to-door salesman that just sold paper. Paper? Sick. People need paper.

Donna was a secretary They're both come from French-Canadian descent Which in theory then makes Ryan Gosling French-Canadian You're saying that slightly in a French-Canadian accent No, this is just my voice Great, perfectly I just wanted to qualify that No, that's fine

Okay I didn't hear it any differently French Canadian Well, anyway There's that bullying There's that subtle difference between Canadian and French-Canadian He's my Canadian

Okay, hello, I am from Canada. Good. Now, here's my French Canadian. Hello, I am from French Canada. Very good, very good. Nailed it. Thank you. And yeah, just another thing about his parents.

So he was raised Mormon. I saw the Book of Mormon last night. Oh, relevant. That's a great show. Like, people, like, it's won a lot of awards, but it's very, very good. It's funny. It's divided this room. Dave, not a fan.

I thought it was all right. You think it's the best thing you've ever seen. I've actually changed my report midway through. It's now about the book of Mormon. It's the greatest thing I've ever seen. Jess, have you seen it? I haven't. I reckon you're possibly more into shit things like Riverdance and Maddeno.

So. Why do you need to bring that up? Actually, I'm glad bringing up Riverdance. My sister is Irish dancing and I fucking hate it. Oh, geez, that turned. I did turn in the middle. I was about to apologize. No, it's no good.

She's not riveted. I'm going to said Riverdale. That's a different thing. That's a different thing. She's definitely not riveting when she's over. She's fine. Sorry earlier today. She didn't impress me that much, I guess.

When do your siblings ever impress you? Yeah, I don't know. She should have tried a bit harder, I guess. Yeah. She was very homeover. Okay. Unprofessional. Sunday morning.

Went out for my, today's all. Here's more bonus facts about my family. Today's my mom's birthday. So it went out for brunch and my sister rocked up very homeover and just didn't say anything. And you left early to go to a podcast. So her kids are fucked. Yeah, yeah. And was your sister Irish dancing at this breakfast?

She wasn't Irish dancing at this breakfast. She did drink an Irish breakfast tea though. Because when he said she didn't impress me, I assumed... She was dancing. No, I did worded. So you mean she just didn't impress you at the breakfast? Yeah, yeah. She was just like a sub-part performance at breakfast.

The idea of someone being impressed at a breakfast. Wow. She impressed. She was on. She was very off. I'm having family dinner with my parents and my brother this coming Friday. So I'm going to give him a rating now. I'll let you know.

Just let me know if he's impressive or not. Just like, you're like, oh, like friendly conversation, bit of a banter. That's good. Eye contact. I don't get a lot of that from him. Ryan Gosling. Does he impress you much? He does impress him much.

Hey, let me ask you this. Could you please Dusha go on? Oh. That is why we invited you here For that moment And he used it very early But that's good Because it means that you can use it so much

Because now I've already gone on a side track Yeah again You can use it so much that it'll stop being funny But then by like the 10th time again People be like That's what I'm here for still Yeah yeah you gotta keep going out So he's raised Mormon

Raised Mormon His parents was super about being Mormon Ryan Gosling however was not Even from a young age It was just like I don't get this It's not for me That's so smart. Or not, depending on how real the Heavenly Father is.

And which Heavenly Father is the real one if he is real? Well, because I grew up Catholic, grow up, Catholic, grow up, I just imagine nearly any religion as a kid, I would have been like, yeah, if the adults say this is true. Any kid who goes to their parents goes, what you're telling me is definitely true, I don't believe, those people are, they've got some bit of their brain that I don't have. They're clever. They've grown up. They're bigger than me. I should believe them. And if they say there is a man in the sky,

there absolutely is. I get it. Like, I understand. I was also raised Catholic. So like... Yeah, I live just fully believe. I don't remember ever being near doubting anything. I was just like, yep, it's time to pray.

It makes sense. Right. I'll go on again. Yeah. He's doing it. Two sentences in. I'm like... This feels pretty normal.

Let him go. He had like a rough charlestonel. And in interviews, his quote is saying he hated being a child. He was just like very excited to grow up. He always wanted to be like... I hate being a child. I didn't a child say that. I can't wait to pay tax.

So while he hated being a child, he always wanted to be an actor. And from a very young age, he was very inspired by Dick Tracy and other films. The other film's thing comes in very soon. And it's just something I want to bookmark. Because I purposely didn't reveal what film it was. This is a bit sad too He was bullied in elementary school And again quoted saying

He didn't really have friends until he was 14 or 15 Schooling was a weird time for the gos He got suspended after an intense incident Where he recreated a scene from one of his favorite films Other films, but So he was suspended when he brought kitchen knives to school In grade one and threw them at other children at recess Because it was heavily inspired by first blood

Rambo so yeah it was really young and then he just turns to the teacher and says you're gonna need one thing a good supply of body bags starts throwing knives and everyone I'm picturing like

blunt kitchen knives like table knives are we talking like big sharp I think it was just like yeah like it's the information I got it was just said kitchen knives but he didn't hurt anyone so I'm assuming that it was just like table knives

or he was a bad thrower if the story could go either way And another hint that it wasn't too intense as the fact he only got suspended, not expelled. Kitchen knives also feels like that that would probably take in most knives. Yeah. Are there many, like, lounge room knives or... Bathroom knives. Bathroom knives.

Fetch me the good bathroom knives. Grandma's coming over. And also, like, I mean, I've seen First Blood, and the knives, I imagine, like, table knives look closer to the knife for Amber has than, like, a butcher's knife. kind of thing. But after the suspension, he was homeschooled by his mother

for a year, which he was super into. He sort of, like, really connected him with both his mother and his sister. Because now the knives

and the school are in the same place. It's really easy. It was really easy to recreate scenes from Rambo movies. Don't have to transport knives. No.

Yeah, so he said it was, obviously, it was hard and meant that, like, making friends became more difficult, but he felt that it,

like, really, he's actually, quite of saying and helped him see the way of the world as a woman, because he was only influenced by women at this point in his life because it was his mother and his sister

because his parents got divorced, which is a sad time. School continued to be a rough time. So after his farm schooled for a year, he went back to school. It's still a bit of rough time, but he did start making friends. Although he also did something very strange, something that you can still see reflected in his performances today, where he is Canadian, but he doesn't have a Canadian accent.

And that's because he created an idiosyncratic accent modeled after Marlon Brander whilst he was in school because he decided that having a Canadian accent didn't sound tough enough. Right. So he was just like, yeah, okay, I need to like, he just changed the way he spoke and then it's just like kind of stuck.

Thank God he didn't model his speaking voice on Rambo. Hey. But in Rambo he says like two words as well. Yeah. I'm sad. Limited vocab. But so that's,

do you tell, can you tell the American from the Canadian accent easily. Well, Ryan Gosling has a very kind of weird talking style. It is like, it's really mumbly, sort of, but it doesn't, you can't really, like, you can't understand what he's saying, it's weird mumble. It was

strange choice to base it on Marlon Brando's godfather exclusively. Sorry, Ryan, what? Well, that shows these two beers give affluence as a that was fantastic. Thank you. Thank you. Like surprisingly good. Do it again.

Yeah. Sorry, I spoke a girl. Sorry, let's do it again. That's perfect. Just the jaw. Yeah, yeah. And the hand gestures. I was, I was Brando. Yeah.

You were so Brando. Makes sense because in The Godfather, too, he was like starting to get really out of shape. Yeah. They needed someone to come in. Yep. And that's why they called you. They're the best of the biz. I was back then.

That's what I used to do in the decade of that movie was made. You dubbed his voice because unbelievably, his speaking voice was less. understandable. He was like, Hello, I want Marlon Brando! This is not tough enough. And they went,

yeah, okay, that's great, Marlon, thank you. We'll get somebody else. Is somebody got Matt Stewart's number? He's the best of the biz. Yeah, no, good job, Marlon, yeah, we can break for lunch. What the fuck is wrong with it?

He's never been the same since he decided he was too good for acting. And this is where we transition into Ryan Gosling's early. acting career and his TV appearances because something that people often forget is he started as a child actor on TV. Is he like a Mickey Mouse Club? He absolutely was.

So around the same time of his parents' divorce, he attended an open audition for the hip 90s revival of the Mickey Mouse Club. He was successful and got to given a two-year contract which started his acting career. To do this, he moved to Florida with his mother and older sister. That's cool. The mum, like, moved.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He must be being paid all right. Yeah. He moved the family. Yeah. Yeah, and also I guess, like, because this wasn't that long after the divorce, it could have also been, like, mom was like, fuck yeah, let's get away from all the sad memories. First start. Is this the one with, like, all the other celebrities?

Yeah, it's like Britney. Juzzy T. Yeah, and Christina Reg. Bloody hell. John Goodman. Really? See, I was, because I thought Gosling might have been on Roseanne, but that's where I was getting confused. Yeah, he worked with Godman and Goodman.

Yeah, he played Rosent's. husband at night and Mickey Mouse Club doing the day. Right. Wow, he's versatile. Versatile, yeah, blends in, which is why, like Dave had earlier in the episode, people often struggle to think of where they've seen him because he's literally in everything.

Like, every single thing. He's so good. He's so versatile. So versatile. Yeah, so he became friends with Brittany, Christina and Justin Timberlake. I wonder if they're still friends. Whoa.

So, one thing that happened, and I'll get back on what you just said in a second. So one thing that happened with six months left is Mickey Mouse contract. Unfortunately, his mother had to move back to Canada. So Ryan Gosling moved in with Mr. Sexy Back himself, J.T. John Goodman. J.G. He's brilliant sexy back.

Yeah. Justin Timberlake's mother became his legal guardian for his remainder of the stay. Right. That's nice. They haven't stayed super in contact, but they do talk every now and then. And whilst they, because they had such an intense friend. when they were kids, like basically brothers for six months at least. Yeah, they're very supportive of each other's careers.

And yeah, they don't catch up as much as they'd like. Sure. But they're still like... They're busy. I hope that's what we get to. Too successful to be friends. I'd love to not see you for years. I'd just love to be successful.

But then when people ask me, let me see Matt and Damienk, oh, you know what? Not as much as I'd like. I'd love to. I'm very supportive. But I wish them well, wherever they are. No idea. That's quite brutal, Jess. My heart just sank a little bit.

It's a long way away, like 20 years from now. Okay. You'll probably be dead. Man, I've come this far. Surely I could do another 20. I don't know. You're not looking good. I know I'm a guest here, but it is touching going.

Yeah, I'm pretty haggard. Just get through this episode is all I ask. Okay. Just take life one episode of do-go-one at a time. Yeah. That's sort of how I do it. Do-Gone. So the Mickey Mouse Club

revival got cancelled in 1995. So it was on air for a little bit? Yeah, it was on air for two years. Ryan Gullsling moved back to Canada and then enjoyed success in a few different kids TV shows, notably the Ghrussbaum's TV show and Are You Afraid of the Dark? I loved Are You Afraid of the Dark. Did you watch that?

Yeah, and the answer is yes. Submitted to the approval for the Midnight Society. Oh, man. It was so good. So that means you have seen something Ryan Gosling's in. Are You Afraid of the Dark? Yes. There you go. My favourite Ryan Gosling film, I'm afraid of the time. I love his work.

His early work. His early works, yeah. Well, this is where his roles are just, like, so ridiculous. Because, like, this is something I'd seen him in when I was a kid. But I just had not realized that it was Ryan Gosling. Yeah. So when he turned 18, he then, so these TV shows stayed on the air for a little bit. So he had work in Canada between the ages of, like, 15 and 17.

When he turned 18, he moved to New Zealand to star in Young Hercules, the spin-off of Hercules are legendary journeys. What? As Young Hercules. As young Hercules. Wow. The Kevin Sorbo TV show? Yeah, so he played young Kevin Sorbo.

Oh, his greatest role. He actually appears. Who's Kevin Sorbo? Hercules. He played Hercules on the TV. All right, yeah, I probably should have... I mean, context-wise, you could pop that... No, yeah, I thought I was going to be...

That's what I sort of thought, but I assumed I would have known. Hercules' actor's name. Yeah, well, if you've seen Zina a legendary warrior princess, he also plays Hercules in that. Or, Cal the Conqueror? No, I can... See, I've seen some strange movies. Just nothing... mainstream guy.

Just like a lot of Kevin Slauber films. I'm picturing him, Brendan Frazier. Then didn't he go out to be the dad in Seventh Heaven? What? Different guy. But... They look similar. Kevin Slauber, he was in Meet the Spartans,

where he basically played Hercules again, which was that famous parody of 300, made like 10 years too late. Yeah. He's in like a sci-fi show as well. It was in like Battlestar Galactic or something? Seventh Heaven. That's what I'm thinking of.

He was only like you keep joking about Seventh Heaven. He was also in one of those recent, religious cash grab films that are made for like zero dollars are terrible but make millions and millions Eighth Heaven. Eighth Heaven. And Seventh Heaven also starred Jessica Beal who's now married to Justin Timberlake.

And the circle is complete. And the dog was called Lucky and many people call Ryan Gosling's career Lucky. And Lucky had a real funny looking dick. Welcome to today's episode of Plumming the Down. So after working on Young Hercules for a bit.

He actually quit because he realized he'd no longer enjoyed working on the series because he had begun to care too much which is a very weird reason to quit a job.

I care too much about it. Yeah, he was like oh, I was having a good having a good time with it but then I realized I cared too much about the series which is funny for two things. One, caring about your job

is a terrible reason to quit but also imagine being in a world where you care too much about the TV series Young Herkins. Very true. It's, yeah. It's not you, young Hercules.

It's me. I just care too much. I love you so much. This is coming from a good place. Yeah, yeah. It's the worst breakup lie I've ever heard. If I had to list one bad quality about me, just that I care too much.

About young Hercules. That is a bad quality. Next time you do a job interview, Dave, I think you should put that down. I care too much about young Hercules. Any weaknesses? Yeah, I think I'm too. much of a perfectionist and I care too much about young Hercules.

You're hired. Also, this is just a bit of bonus stuff for the listeners out there. Don't say you're a perfectionist in like a, when they ask what your weaknesses are for a job interview. I have to hire people sometimes. And when they say that, I'm like, shut up. Yeah, yeah. You think you're clever. It's not that clever.

Everyone says that. Pick something better. Do you put a line straight to them? Because that's what you should do. I haven't. But usually when people say that, they also look real smug. And it's just... Oh, they're in front of you.

So putting a line through them would be pretty full on. It's pretty brutal. Yeah. So would you prefer if someone said, I'm a perfectionist or I'm a raging alcoholic? At least I knew they were being honest. Yep, there you go. All right, that's a tip for you guys. If anyone's the better go for a job?

Anyone are, yeah. What would you say? What's a better softening of that? Well, pick something that's like not super relevant to the job but is also honest. So like, say for instance, it's hard to give an example. So I work in a cinema. So like, if someone was like, I don't know, I'm not great at accounting or something like that.

Or they're like, hey, yeah, like I'm pretty good at a computer, but like things like Excel and things like that. I'm not super literate with. I'd be like, that's cool. We can teach you that. Or pick something where like the training will cover that. Totally. Yeah, yeah. I'm not great at tearing tickets.

I'm like, don't worry. We've got the job for you then. I've got really weak wrists. I steal from the cash register. Don't worry. We'll train that out of you. It's almost not a perfectionist. we can handle fever

But yeah Basically after we quit young Hercules We start to take a step towards the Ryan Gosling That everyone's probably familiar with Where he stepped into independent film So His first role was hard to get Because he got dropped by his agent

Because he carried too much of a stigma To get roles His agent cared too much His agent cared too much about young Ryan Gosling And also cared too much And he was only associated with children's TV Which is also funny because, like, goosebumps, are you afraid of the dog and young Hercules? They're like teen sort of things?

Yeah. It's not like he was in like play school. Yeah. But yeah. That's a real death knell for a career, isn't it? Play school. Jay LaGyre, anybody? Yeah.

Yeah, I think I just put a little line through your theory there, doucheer. Jay LaGyreya, anybody? Noney Hazelhurst? Thank you. saw her in a play a couple years ago. She said the C word. And I went, no, need. The whole crowd did that in unison.

If everyone could tweet, do go on with any time they've heard someone from play school say the C word. Just let us know. Let us know. That'd be so good. So after he got from his drop by his age and he was like, kind of his life was a bit up in the air, I guess. But he eventually got his first supporting role in a big film

where he was in Remember the Titans, which is a film third. I do. I do remember them. Surprise you hadn't seen Matt. No, I'm saying that. Dave, have you seen that? Wait, is that the one? It's one of the Gridiron College movies.

Is it Denzel Washington? It's a Denzel one, yeah. Dave, have you seen it? I haven't seen this. Oh my God. Yeah, Brian Gosling in that is like quite struck scrawny and has long hair. Is he like a bit part? Like a supporting?

He's a supporting role. It's not like, it's probably a little bit bigger than a bit part, but he also, like, his name wouldn't be on the post. Four bit part. Four bit part, yeah. Is he one of the Titans? He is one of the time. Yes. He pops up really early in the film.

He's one of the first characters you see, because I watched it recently. It's so ironic that you couldn't remember if he was one of the dark news. Well, no, because he's like, when you make a film about a team, you can't focus on the whole team. He's just like... Remember all the time, including Gosling. Which helped, like, that movie was quite successful, and even though it was only like a relatively small role, he was able to get a leading role on the back of that. It was actually quite a controversial role that really helped him shake free of the

children's TV stigma that his agent was already carried. So he was in his first leading role in a film. If you want to get rid of that, you'd just be in a porno. No kid show will ever hire you again. And what's the other thing you reckon you could probably do? Gandhi, play Gandhi in a biopic. Yes.

Play Gandhi in a porn parody. Yes. Blackface. No, but you're on the right. It's not a train of thought. Really? What? No, it wasn't black base, but racism was the theme there because he played a neo-Nazi and a film called The Believer

and he was really praised for his performance The film, it wasn't like a super controversial film or anything like that It was made, it was made for, on a really low budget It did quite well in American cinemas His performance was praised And he was like started to get taken seriously as an actor His next noticeable role was the 2002 film Murder by Numbers where he starred opposite

Sandra Bullock Oh, my Numbers I've not heard of it Is that a crazy mathematician? Goes wild, I recognise the name And I feel like maybe I've seen A calculator becomes sentient

It's people With its numbers It starts killing And then it like Turns upside down and writes boobs Yeah they are But why, why are you doing this? Boobes

Or Boobies That's the end credit scene They think the calculus Question Dot dot dot Question my. Boobies.

And then it went into the bloopers. Sandra Bullock and Ryan Gozzi just laughing too much. Like every time they calculate it's his boobs. I can't. I can't work with it. This is just too funny. I haven't seen that film either. Well, his performance was praised, but the film was pretty forgettable.

Probably Sandra Bullock's fault, to be honest. Well, I'm actually a fan. She's won an Academy Award. And speaking of everyone liking Ryan Gosling And people liking Sandra Bullock They actually dated from 2002 to 2003 Really? Is she much older than him?

She is a little bit older than him too So I suppose I'm thinking of her as 50 now But 15 years ago she wasn't was it? No, she was like based on those mouth She would have been 35 15 years ago You would have been early 20s Trying to kill me with your numbers

So yeah It's quite a big gap Yeah But that's hot Yeah And that was Sandra Bullock That was like when Sandra Bollock was like Sandra Bullock What are we talking miscongeniality 2?

We're talking miscongenia the year after Miss Congeniality 1 You know when she walks out of the airplane hanger And she's in that tight dress and it's like Hubber, hubber. I watched it again recently. It holds up. Yeah, I've seen Miss Congeniality 1 recently as well.

Yeah, I watched it on Netflix. I was like, fuck, this is great and she looks amazing. I think I've watched it on TV. Interesting. With commercials. But every commercial break, I still just kept watching. Like I had so many times to leave. Yeah, and you kept going.

kept going, because she's captivating. Do you know who else is in that film? A man who likes to say, my name is Michael Kane. What? I'm going to guess Michael Kane. Yes. I was going on a different direction.

He didn't even have to say hello this time. Usually I have to say, hello. My name is Michael Kane. Hello. My name is Michael Kane. So strange, but his character's name wasn't Michael Kane in the film. Very confusing. That's why I didn't finish the movie.

you're like hang on they're referring to Michael Cade by a different name I'm out my suspension of disbelief is shattered yeah disrespectful so after things like that so the centriolic thing ended in 2003 he was in a few other films that middling success

no like a claim or anything like that but in 2004 2004 not 14 2004 he was cast in the notebook which was perhaps most his most famous role pre 2010 which is the role that won everyone's hearts he was cast, as you mentioned, about 20 minutes ago

because he was not conventionally attractive. They were like, we need to cast someone that's believable as just a regular guy. He's gotten more attractive, to be fair, which men do with age. So Dave, there's still hope. Yes! How old was he at this point?

He would have been, see if he was born in 1980. So, yeah. 24? Okay, so him and I are at a similar trajectory. Yeah, Dave. So in about six years? Dave. be fucking minned.

You've come on in the last eight years a long, long way. That's mainly because Matt hates my old hair. I even feel like in the last two years. Yeah, he's really shot up. And he's getting funnier too. Yeah. Everything about him is. I'm only...

Which I hear works very well when dating. I'm only... Yeah, totally. It doesn't. It does for me. I'm only funnier because I'm more good looking. I actually just on the podcast thing. So like recently, this is a side note.

but it's a good story. Recently, my friends were like, get Tinder. And I was like, I don't really care about dating, but sure. You get an email from Tinder that I didn't realize, like a weekly update. Oh. And I got more likes before I put a buyer than when I did. That's worrying. As someone who's like meant to be like, I'm meant to be able to talk on a podcast and stuff like that,

the moment I wrote a buyer, people are like, not interested. Like your face. Not everything else. Yeah, I can't relate because there's a female comedian. you're just hitting him away, you know, stop. Stop killing me with laughter. Yeah, leave me in love. I know you all want to date me.

Natural illness is fun. I mean, you're sort of joking about it there. Are you encouraging people online to get onto you in that regard? Absolutely not. Why would you say that? Well, because I think that's what people are, a few people have paused now. They're going to come back in a few minutes after they've tweeted you. to say, hey, Jess, I'm open, right?

I'm just wondering if, I just wanted to clarify if that is actually what you're trying to do. No, absolutely not. I was joking. I am closed. I am closed for business. Oh, okay. I've given up.

Is it a back in five situation? No, it's not a back in five. It might be a back in, I don't know. I've gone for lunch and you're just not sure if it's going to be the end of the day or like if you've got to be, it's too hard to get. And the easiest way to tell us to not. Just everyone just assume.

Close for them. Yeah, close forever. Yeah, I think that's smart. Bought up the windows. Although I'm very open, so if people want to tweet me, go for it. Especially anyone who hasn't heard me before, if they're like,

because like, if you've heard Pop Me the Death Star, look, you probably know too much. You don't want that. Yeah, I love that. Then you actually know who I am, so don't. No, no, no. If you like who I am. If you like who I am, probably don't.

I mean, like, then I can't lie. They're like, I know what you actually, how you actually feel about these things. Any, is it one of those any club that would have me a member? I don't want to be a part of them. Yeah, that's one depressing way to look at dating. Yeah, I think you might be fucked then.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. If that is how you think about it all, I'd shut up shop as well. Yeah, yeah, that's, uh. As soon as someone wants me, I don't want them. It's very hard. How are you with your girlfriend? Well, luckily no one wants me, so it's going well. Soon as someone all put up with me.

She tolerates. Yeah, that's right, which I find extremely attractive. Tolerance. Isn't tolerance? Tolerance is the key. It's a wonderful thing. Oh, it's beautiful. Okay, we really derailed.

I'm sorry. Please go on about the notebook. That's okay. Well, so the notebook actually won a whole bunch of awards, including most famously, MTV Award for Best Kiss. And then they recreated.

Yes. Who does he kiss? Who's the... Rachel McAdams. Who he also dated. He also dated. And when did they recreate the kiss live? At the MTV.

So, when they won the award. So the scene, to set the scene for you, Dave, and for the listeners who haven't seen the notebook. You idiots. Yeah, it's a great film. It's a very, very, very... So you should see it. Yeah, I'd watch the note.

I've seen the notebook recently and I was like, yeah, it holds up. I think a lot of guys... You were like, you shrugged and went, yeah, it holds up. And that's your recommendation for me to see it? It's just a nice film. Yeah, it's like, it's a very...

Nice story. It's a melodramatic romance. So, like, if you know... Knowing that I haven't seen films like Casablanca and other, like, Gone with the Wind, you know what? I would start... Look, if I was still gonna recommend... You know what, at the end of this episode,

I'll do some Ryan Gullsling recommendations for the listeners. Yes, good one. Can you do some for me too? And also for the participants of this podcast. Right. Yeah, so basically they re-created the kiss on stage, and to set the scene of the kiss, they've had like a fight,

and they reunite in the rain, and Ryan Gosling picks her up, and they did that again. Is this funny, I've seen a YouTube clip here, I wrote to you every day for a month. What is that accent? Marlon Brando? Yes, that was Gosling doing brand out.

It's pretty good. Yes, that's the scene. An Academy Award nominee doing a double Academy Award winning actor. It's very confusing. It's so confusing. And yeah, it just led to a world and romance between Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling that lasted for two years, but then had a brief reunion in 2008. I like them together. Apparently, like, while they were filming, they didn't like each other.

They didn't get along and then they dated afterwards. Yeah. That's what I've heard. Does he end up dating all his co-stars? He is currently, spoilers later in the episode. So if you don't want to hear who Ryan Galson currently dating, skip ahead 15 seconds. 15 minutes. We will discuss their...

Intimately. No, we'll get to that. He's in a relationship with another co-style that he had yet. Harrison Ford? Yeah, he's in a relationship with Harrison Ford. I don't think they've been in a film together. Was he in the Blade Runner, Reno? No, I forgot about that.

I was like thinking earlier. That was a great film. That was like my favorite film of last year. Haven't seen it and I remember it more than you. Yeah, that's not good for... I've heard it's very good, but it failed. Yeah, yeah. It was a box office bomb, but...

Isn't that a bummer when movies that people say it's a great movie, but... It's a hundred percent going to be like a cult hit, though. Right. It's one of those movies where you're like, yeah, like, it was never going to make that much money at the cinema. It's a sequel to a movie that also bombed when it came out. Right, but it built up as well as a cult classic, right?

Yeah, and now it's considered, like, the original Blade Run is considered, like, one of the best sci-fi films ever made. A lot of people hate it. I have seen I really do like it. Yeah. But Ryan Gosling was not in it, and that's why I chose to watch it. Oh, right.

So you just said... You actively avoid. He peaked in Are You Fred of the Dark, and he just can never live up to that. Sure. Watermark. Sure. Well, speaking of failures,

so I guess your decisions, I guess, was the transition there? Bad ones? Yeah. Anyway, speaking of bad decisions, Ryan Gosling was in a film called Stay, which his performances again praised, but much like murder by numbers,

but in a slightly more extreme way, the movie was apparently garbage. Right, the audience just wanted to leave. Yes. You've redeemed yourself, Dave. Thank you. Sometimes he's just so quick. I just can't keep up.

In an interview about the film, he said that Ryan Gosling was quoted saying that somebody a kid came up to him in the street and was like, are you the guy from Stay? What the fuck was that movie about? And then Ryan Gozzy was like, I think that's great.

I'm just as proud as if someone says, hey, you made me sick in that movie as if they say I made them cry. He's just like, yeah, good. Any reaction is a good reaction. If someone hated me so much that they want to stop me in the street to tell me that they stopped.

Which is good because later in his career, that happened to get... Well, no one went up to him in the street, but he made some bad decisions. So after Stay, he went on to star in another indie film called Half Nelson, which is a film about a drug-addicted school teacher, which was again Showered in Awards,

including his most prestigious award, where he got nominated for the 2007 Academy Awards for Best Actor. Oh, wow. So his Academy Award nominated. He didn't win, but... Robbed. Look, I'm happy to put that out there. It's a great film.

Half Nelson means semi-erect, right? Is that what that... It's a little wrestling term. Wrestling term. I think it's a headlock. Yeah. I thought the same thing, though. I reckon that is used as a slang for, yeah.

A semi. Are you thinking of half erect? Are you just using Nelson and erect? A wrecked, yeah. Is that a last mistake? Or half mongrel is another way of saying. Mungrel. That is the least attractive way to refer to a penis.

Don't like that. Well, they're not attractive. They're aggressive. I'll give them that. Aggressive. I don't want to talk about penises. But I do. Not unless they involve canines.

Yeah, canine penises, of course. They're a full mongrel. Classic, that was another good one. He's so fast. Too quick. That was another good one. That's two, Dave. Thank you.

Matt, I'm just waiting for a compliment from you and I'll leave. I don't patronise you like these guys. I expect more. I like I've been in one episode now and I'm being grouped in with these guys. This is the bullies. Sorry, Dave. So he followed his performance in half. Nelson up with Lars and the Real Girl, where

no, no one's seen that one. What's it called, sorry? Lars and the Real Girl. I haven't seen it, but I know of it. Where he plays, uh, yeah, he plays a man who falls in love with a sex doll, basically. Um, which sounds, like, saucy, but it's, very not. It's very, like, it's very much played seriously.

Uh, he, it's never revealed if he has, like, some kind of mental illness, but it's kind of implied. What, by him falling in love with a sex doll? Yeah, but before that happens, he's like, subtle, very subtle. Yeah. like has like family issues and stuff like that lives in his brother's garage and is it does it

it sounds like a really depressing movie no it's like it's like one of those like happy sad movies where it's nice and then it makes you sad because it's like too nice but it's like sad no well they get married and then the doll explodes or something no well look happy he was waiting till wedding night and yeah he pops her with his half mungrel that's actually That's a powerful half-mongrel And yeah Lars and Rook,

Oh, meat No, So the sex doll Isn't an inflatable Sex doll It's like Life-like It's like a plastic

Rubbery And did he go on to date The sex doll As a co-star? No, no, no No, no That wasn't very ties back in But we're getting closer

That was really good, Dave Oh, thank you, man That felt as good as the others Get out See you guys next week This episode, like me guesting, has turned into an audition, I guess. I'm replacing you. Yeah, it's either I go or Matt dies.

We've got to check up now. What about anything happens to me? Nothing could happen to you, Jess. If you're going to go, the show's over. You're right. Correct dancer. Good like replacing me, fuckos. That's fair.

Irreplaceable. No God won't know about me. That's the song that I thought for so long was Simply irreplaceable But she doesn't even say the word simply It's just irreplaceable You're simply irreplaceable You should release a cover where you just threw that

Exactly the same just threw that word in I think I was singing along to that one day But instead of seeing it you just say it in the middle like Simply Irreplaceable What is that song? Beyonce No shit

I could have another year It's a big one Nailed it why don't I know that? Yeah, that is a big, that's a big Beyonce. And it's like pre-Bioncée getting like all this like kind of like hipster crad, I guess, that she got with her. She got a couple albums.

Right. So it was like a big song. Yeah, it's interesting. I only got into her once you got a hipster cred. Yeah, like, I mean, lemonade's a bangle. Typical. I just don't like a cheap. Got it on vinyl, so.

Oh. Yellow, like, you really? Yeah, that's good. I've considered buying it myself, so don't worry. It's an, um, I've been. bought it as a present. Oh. For yourself.

So I owned it briefly. That's a good way of looking at presents. Yeah. That killed Jess. Oh, no. It was cancelled. No, without Jess were nothing. I owned it briefly.

You're a weird person. Stop derailing. Please. Please, do you go on. There we go. It's fine. Look, we got it. We got it.

So after 2007, Lars and the Real Girl and the success of Hart and Alson, both of those films did really, really well critically, though were made for a small budget and made quite a lot of money, not like Star Wars money,

or Avatar money, but like, they did well. Then, unfortunately, good things went bad again for a bit. So on the tail end of 2007, Ryan Gosling was in high demand, and he got casted that Peter Jackson film The Lovely Bones.

Anyone seen that one? Yes. Is that also Rachel McAdams? No. Is that the one where There's like someone... Sad dad with a dead daughter. I can't remember if I've seen that all.

Is it the one where there's like a hole in the ground? It might think of someone else. There's a bunker. You think you have the superhero film Chronicle? But there's a hole of the ground and they go in and touch a weird orb and then turn it to superhero? No, there's a big hole in the ground and they used to dump things in it and then they were going to fill it in.

You're talking about the film ants? Ants, that's one. You think you have parks and recreation. Sorry, parks and recreation. Season one of Parks and Recreation. They didn't fill in the pit and Andy fell in. Yeah. Maybe that's what I'm thinking.

And then he lived in the pit. There was a pit. Journey to the Center of the Earth. I'm sure there was something about bones in the title. Nah. Well, anyway, you're telling me this movie does not have a pit in it. Brad Pitt? No, Mark Wahlberg is in it, though.

Mark Wahlberg. He's got a Walberg. Yeah. So, yeah, pretty much. I think of his talent as a pit in the ground. Whoa! He seems like. I'm not sure.

I don't get it. No, I love Marky Mark and the Funchy bunch. Marky Mark and the bunchy bunch. Nailed it. Perfect. Well, pretty much what happened with this is, yeah, because at this point, Ryan Gosling was like, yeah, okay, maybe I am a great actor.

I can do anything. He got cast as a sad dad whose daughter had died. He was like, how much he... He was too young. He was too young. That's exactly what happened. So he put on 60 pounds and grew a beard to be like, no, okay.

Everyone was like, I can look older, I can look older. He did that. It rocked up on set, and straight over. It was just like, he didn't really talk to anyone. He was, like, depressed. and he was like, I'm not right for this part. Wow, he's not right for that part. Oh, what?

So he, after going, like, 60 pounds is quite a lot of weight to put on. What is that in normal weight? In normal weight? 20 kilos or something is it? Yeah, 20, 25 kilos. Just still like, if he's like a slender band. That's a lot, yeah. Because I even thought in, in, what's the one with Russell Crow?

The nice guys. The nice guys. I even thought he was too young, that age. Order? Too young to be Roslercrow's dad. Because he had like a 13-year-old daughter or something. Yeah, yeah, teenage daughter. I was like, I don't like this.

Oh, that's, you know, I didn't question that at all. I quite enjoyed that movie. Lovely Vine is a... Right. Because, yeah, Mark Wahlberg replaced him, which is odd. But he is... Oh, so he actually didn't appear in the film. Yeah, so Ryan Gosling dropped out.

Imagine putting on that much weight for nothing. Yeah. So he went from handsome and hot, up-ocoming star of Hollywood, and to, in his words, fat and unemployed. Right. Sounds like fun. employed. Hey, and then to make matters worse, his relationship with Rachel McAdams ended and he stopped

acting for three years. Did he? Had a bit of a gap. Bloody hell. From 2007 to 2010, he did not appear in a film. Oh my gosh. Interesting. Well, the end.

Like, he was in films in 2007, but, like, didn't film anymore. I felt like that he's always been famous. Yeah. Since the notebook. Right. So what he did in that time off, he actually made friends with a man while he was dating. That was vague. But I forgot to write down the guy's name.

Zach, I think he's name is. John Goodman? John Goodman. So he met John Goodman or Zach when he was dating Rachel McAdams in 2007. And they started a band together called Dead Man's Bones. They released their debut album in 2009. And surprisingly, an actor went to the musician route for a bit. Really strong reviews, including from notoriously hard to impress website pitchfork,

which gave it like a 7.4 or something. Holy shit. Out of... 10. Right. 100. A 7.4 out of 8. Yeah.

Pretty good. Very good. Very good. Their highest rate is. Yeah, so he... Like, Dead Man's Burns is a really weird album. It's like gothy sort of... Neither of them could really play the instruments.

They taught themselves out of play before they recorded it. They weren't learning mid-song. It's just like 25 minutes of... Hang on, I got it. No. Fuck, I think I fucked that up. And he's trying to play drums. So, yeah, there's like a children's choir on it, and it's, like, quite spooky, but also, like...

Spooky. Yeah, imagine, like, it kind of sounds like they listen to, like, a lot of Bonover, basically. Cool. Yeah, like, I really like it. Bonover, that's the U-2, Bonnie Vair. Mash-up group. BonoVere. Shut up, hipster.

Yeah, U2 reference That was a real hipster That's really cool What a relevant reference I'm not a hipster Just because I owned vinyl For a little while In transition

I think it was for about a day and a half Didn't you also own that U2 album for a day Before you worked out How to delete it from their iPhone It started auto playing When I was driving my time I was like what

It's how I never knew it was on there It's still on mine I didn't know I couldn't even find where I My choice It sounded Big fan of Songs of Innocence It didn't sound that bad

either. Like, the backlash felt brutal. I think it was because people got it without asking for it, but it sounded. Because at that point, everyone hated Bono for being, like, too smug. Right. I feel like if it had to be in any other band. Like, if, like... What the fuck's with the blue glasses?

Apparently, he's got an eye condition. Yeah. Yes. It's like a bad person. It's good? What's up with the edges's beanie? He's really ill, Jess. Got a very cold head.

If he takes it off, he will die, yes. It's tragic. Such a bully. I'll take anyone down. I don't care. Illness, no illness, no illness, then? Don't play that card with me. Can anyone name the other two guys? Adam Clayton.

Oh. And? It's the bass player. You've got a week, of course you know the bass player. Larry Mullins Jr. Yeah, that's the... Oh, no, I have heard of that one. I haven't heard of the other one.

Larry Mullins Jr. is a great man. Yeah. Absolutely classic. The reason that I know that is Jew and... the podcast called You Talk and You Two to Me, which is Scott Ockerman and Adam Scott. Oh, great. Yeah, it's a very good podcast that I'm in no way affiliated with. So if you want to listen to it, it's really dumb.

They start out trying to review... Adam Scott, Adam Scott. Adam Scott, Adam Scott. From Parks and Recreations. And Scott Ockerman from Comedy Bang Bang and... Yes. Writer of Mr. Show. Excellent.

Yeah, they start off trying to review the albums and then it just turns into like an hour and a half of them just... Adam Scott and Scott Ockerman. about. That sounds like a lot of fun. And is that a current podcast? So they were doing it until they got an interview with you two. And then they got an interview with you two at some point.

But they did just recently. So it's not frequent anymore. Yeah. So they went through all the albums and they're like, we're going to still record it until we get an interview. Then they got an interview. You talk and you two to me is great. Everything about sounds amazing.

It's good because they also come up with that name whilst recording the first episode. So you hear it. Like, get invented. Beautiful. Yeah, it's like a deep podcast. cut for all you podcast heads out there. Oh, I reckon we got a couple on board.

The only thing I reckon I would have got them more excited is if the Adam Scott was the Australian golfer. I was also thinking that at first. I like that for summary. You out of everyone, I would not have picked a go too late. A big golf head, big golf head. Oh, love it. Affluent East.

I'm a par seven. I mean, a handicap seven. I'm a par seven. Yeah. That means if it's seven, shots, I'll be able to get it in. Your golfing terms have just flawed me. Oh, I'm amazing.

I've got a driver, I've got a wood, I've got a tiger wood. Oh! Just like to put out a driver and a wood are the same thing. None in my world. Two different types. Have you got a putter? No. I used to wood. Sand wedge? I love sand. If you break

your putter, which has happened in some pro matches, if you say you're trying to put out from under a tree or something and you bend your club, I don't you think you're allowed to use it anymore. So sometimes people will have to put out around with a wood or a three-iron or something. If you break your putter, you are allowed to punch your caddy in the face. It's the rules.

What the fuck? Why are we now talking about golf? Oh, yeah, that was. Gozling, we're back. Do you got any golf podcast to suggest? No golf podcast, but if Adam's got the golfer wants to start a podcast. Oh, that would be awesome. But no golf, no golf talk aloud.

No golf talk aloud. Yeah. Maybe Adam's got an adams. Scott could collaborate. Oh shit, yeah. Being about being Adam Scott. It'd be like being

John Melkavix, except they'd both actually be Adam Scott. Well, anyway, it brings me to 2010 and after three-year break from acting, Ryan Gosling, he's back.

Oh, he's back, baby. He's back. He returned with Blue Valentine, which is another film that just got showered and praise. It's really sad. It's super well acted. It is him and Michelle Williams.

From Destiny's Child. Wow, wow. Did not say that. co-lab coming, but he's in the music world now, so he's probably met her. Well, we've got a listener called Michelle Williams as well. It wasn't her as well. Let's get all three Michelle Williams all in the same room. Now, that's a podcast.

Being Michelle Williams. There's three of them. And I just talk about, like, getting groceries. How do you do it? I'm Michelle Williams. No, I'm Michelle Williams. No, I'm Michelle Williams. Hi.

Welcome to be Michelle Williams. I'm Michelle Williams. And this week I'm joined by two friends of mine. Michelle Williams and Michelle Williams. Hi, Michelle. Hi, Michelle. Well, I'm in a podcast with someone else called Joel, and I promise you that referring to each other as just Joel in a podcast,

it has not lost its traction. It's good fun. We have a good time. Speaking of a good time, Blue Valentine. Yeah, Michelle Williams is actually a fantastic girl. She's great. Yeah, and Blue Valentine, if you haven't seen it, it's kind of like the reverse notebook.

It's like, so the notebook, you're like, oh, love Israel. Blue Valentine, you're like, there's no point me dating. It all ends bad The premise of the film is Ryan goes like Michelle Williams It's like

They've played their relationship When they first meet And then seven years later And they're like kind of intertwined And does it end The opposite of the nightbook I didn't write to you Every day for a month

They uh Did they act with a Whatever accent that is? That's Forrest Gump Oh I'm thinking of Forest Gump again That's Forrest Gump's dog I think

These dog's dick This is his little urethra. Ah, wrong for you. No good. Not good at all. Bruner and I wish I wasn't. Have you? Never saw Bruno.

Oh yeah, okay. Probably don't. Yeah, don't. Not a recommendation. I saw a bore out of the cinemas and loved it. It was like the funniest thing anyone's ever seen. Stop derailing. Ryan Gosling.

No talking urethas. Sorry. You say the relationship intertwine. I'm talking urethras with. you. That's a new podcast I'm thinking about doing. Dog Erethras. What about you call it? Eurythro to me? You're rethruiting me? I don't see anybody else. You must be a rethrored of me. Euretha Franklin. Yeah. To me. To me. Euretha Franklin to me?

That's what you're punk fans name. Eurethra Franklin in brackets to me. Yeah, so Blue Valentine was mostly improvised to the point where they actually considered filming it seven years apart just so that they could get more realistic. And then they were like, actually, no, that's probably a bad idea, a bad idea that boyhood later did. which is unrelated to Ryan Gozling, but that's just like a... Wow. Yeah, so the director had them living together and, like, would lie to both of them about things that it's said to create actual tension between them.

Wouldn't have Boyhood have already started by then? Yes, but everyone, including the studio, forgot Boyhood was being made. Right. It was a sneaky, sneaky film by... Wow, that's cool. Yeah. But, yeah, so yeah, they really considered doing stuff like that, which resulted in Ryan Gosling getting nominated for Best Actor at the Golden Globe.

He didn't win. He lost to Colin Firth for his performance in the King's Speech. Which, okay. That was very good. Yeah. So he didn't get nominated for an Academy Award. That doesn't happen that often, right? Doesn't it normally transfer most of the...

Well, the difference is that the Golden Globes, they have, like... Different categories. Different categories for acting. Right. It's not just best actors. 2010, I think, was a pretty big year for, like, well, like pretty high-profile films, like King's Speech. Social Network came out that year.

well so I think there was already like so indie films were just kind of like don't worry about it this year guys we've got heaps of big films was blue velvet valentine valentine right blue velvet's a different film that's the and what's the and then there's the Woody Allen movie what's that blue jasmine blue jasmine right that's one out of 2013 I don't you just ballooned my mug hey that was pre-regret I was regret I was regretting it before I was saying he just said that blew my mind You've just blooned my mind.

You fucking idiot. I want to get that on a t-shirt. You've just bluned my mind. You idiot. Wait, did you not see that as well? No, I didn't see it either. I'm an idiot. I went through all of that in my head.

I'm like, it's got to be more than that. Yeah. But I actually made it less than that. Yeah. So after his return in 2010, he backed it up with probably some of like the biggest films of his career at this point. Well, the three films that people, that all came out in the same year, 2011, and these are usually the films that people first remember seeing him in. Drive, crazy stupid love and the aides of March.

So Drive is, he's the lead actor. He plays a character called The Driver. It's super stylized, quite violent, very intense. It's got a great soundtrack. I love it. It's also got a real cool jacket. which also people remember On the inside-out

You're fucking idiot He's wearing a cool jacket He's wearing a leather jacket He said it's also got a really cool jacket In it The movie On the DVD On the DVD cover you can see it

Yes Wow Crease's stupid love which is Did that balloon your mind I saw that at the movies as well Yeah that was a surprise I saw it at the cinema as well I was going in with low expert

I had no idea what it was. It was like, it's really, like, it's very funny. And it's, like, well-acted, well-written. What I like about Gosling is that he's very funny. He's incredibly funny, and he's super dry. Yeah. Like, he's not, like, a wacky, fun guy, but he's so fucking funny. But then he actually can be, like, a little bit wacky as well,

which you seem, like, the nice guys, which is a little bit later on his career, but not that much later. Where, like, that's got a little bit more of, like, physical comedy to it. Yeah. I feel like Crazy Stupid Love hasn't dated as well, though, right? I saw it kind of recently. There's a few things that are a bit questionable. There's a few problematic things, right?

It's funny how quickly things come on. It's mostly the stuff involving the teenage girl wanting to fuck Steve Correll. So what's the concept of this movie? Maybe it's a comedy. Yeah, it's a comedy. So basically it's a story of... I don't even remember that. Steve Carell.

Steve Carell's wife has an affair and he finds out about it. And then it kind of like throw... His wife was like his first girlfriend, so he's never been, like, single before. Spoiler, it's here, obviously. Yeah, I guess. I didn't say alerts, right? Spoiler, it is. Spoiler, blah.

And then he meets Ryan Gosling in a bar, Ryan Gosling is a bit of a player, and he sort of shows him how to pick up the latest. And does it turn out that he's the one who banged his wife? No. No, but there are interconnecting things, but let's not ruin that. It's worth a watch. The thing that I was worried about it not holding up is, because Ryan Gosling's character kind of comes across like a pickup artist.

which is real bad in 2018 and in 2011 when it came out people like oh that's a funny concept but in the film there's like a turning point where you're like oh this man's real sad and like it's all like a show and he isn't like there's no scenes where he's like super hyper aggressive

and anything he does so it's like the only problematic thing there is really the idea of it I guess any pick up artist is actually a terribly sad person in reality of that's a garbage man but yeah all the stories and

crazy stupid love end up being super entwined and when it all comes together it's very funny and very good it's a good movie and eyes of March which saw him star opposite George Clooney oh yeah I've heard of him yeah George Clooney Hollywood George

George Clooney's kind of like the generation before's the guy we're talking about now yeah Ryan Gozlin In fact when that movie came out people were like I think we're seeing a new George Clooney Ryan Gosling Yeah I would say I would agree

all three of these films are well received they all made money and they also showed his versatility so drive barely any talking he's very very intense throughout that film crazy stupid love he's very chatty quite funny and Iaz's as much is more of like a conventional

kind of like political thrill of sort of character where it's like intense talking and like things is real serious so I haven't seen drive or odds of March would you're going to do that at the end he's going to balloon your mind later he again Daj.

That's the second in my trilogy, Slowly putting together. Dach Blune. Cannot wait for the third. It's hard. I'm going to try and tie it all together, but let's see. Dave's starting his trilogy with his role last week of plump. Oh, Pum.

I invented a colour called Pump. That's like my new favourite colour. I love it. You'll love it. I can't wait to see it in fashion this year. Oh, yeah. It's going to be very in this autumn. I'm just tuned.

And following the waves of pretty much Ryan Goldsling's career at this point, heaps of acclaim and then all of a sudden a big misstep. So in 2013, he starred in Gangster Squad, which may go on record as the most forgettable film of all time. But I've seen it. And can you tell me anything about that movie, except that Emma Stone's in it? Okay, yes, Emma Stone's in it,

Ryan Gosling's in it, is the Garland. from Men in Black, three in it. John Goodman. Josh Brolin. Yes. Yes. There we go. See, I remember other people in it.

It's a pretty awful name. There's some sort of scene in a bar and by a pool, I feel. I think she's in a dress at one point. She, yeah. Nailed it. Yeah, you've remembered. We're a very forgettable film. Is it a comedy?

No, it's like a, it's just like an actiony sort of heist kind of film. Like as in Gangster Squad isn't an ironic name. Yeah. It sounds like a video game. It's real stupid. They can't even anything else. It's also like,

Gangsta Squad was a follow-up for the director who made Zombie Land. Oh, I have thing that. That was good. Yeah. And like,

this is a bit more serious. There is like lighter moments, but it's not like a comedy like that. And yeah, he fucked it. He fucked it. He fucked it. He fucked.

By choosing it or his role? Oh, no. Ryngo's one of the leads, but he's probably like the least in it lead. He's... The Academy Award for lead, best, least in it, lead actor goes to. Yeah, the acting and all that's fine. It's just a very, very bland movie.

It's not bad. It's just definitely not good. Yeah. It's just forgettable. Totally forgettable. Very five out of, like a five out of ten in every way. Would break even, everything about it. It's very jerry.

Yeah, I think it actually might have just like broken even, not really made any money, though. Then he started Only God For Gives, which is a follow up with the director who made Drive. And people that didn't like drive often said it was too stylized and didn't have enough of a plot. Only God Forgives has almost zero plot and is all style. Includes some very, very, very weird scenes. I love... Disclaimer, I love

Only God Forgives, but it is fucked. Ryan Gosling also had, like, this was his first chance to sort of, like, step. He didn't direct it or help direct it, but he's friends with the director, so it meant that he was able to like kind of step behind the camera a little bit, sort of tested out. He made some of the key

decisions in the film. So a character dies and Ryan Gosling's character in the some reacts to it and the director was like do you reckon you should be happy or sad about it and Ryan Gosling was like what if I put my hand so it's like a stomach wound he's like what if I put my hand in it and that's the scene that they went with and as someone who's seen the movie it doesn't really make sense I'm not sure why he responds like that right but yeah very violent what if I put my hand in it yeah the Dave Warnocky story that it kind of makes that you could ask that question every day in a different scenario and it still makes sense

It sort of makes sense in the context of the film. You know what? No one's going to see this film because I'm not going to recommend it. It's his mother that dies. Right. So he's because she's like being a terrible mother. His idea was that he's like looking for a worm to make sure it. It's like very like symbolic but it's, you don't get that.

What? Yeah. That's not awesome. I was thinking like day to day you could go. So I'm going to see this is a lovely bowl of warm custard and it's a very cold day. Yeah. Can I put my hand in? That's the kind of thing that.

That sounds like a new podcast idea. Can I put my hand in it? Every week someone suggests a topic to you. You discuss whatever. You can put your hand in it. Yes, okay. I like that. I like that. I like that a lot.

I should really start, like, this business that I've got going on. Yeah, write these down. Podcast. Podcast concept generator. Done. You get all this? He's a millionaire. I've done it.

You can check that out on my Twitter. And after those two failures, he actually announced he was retiring from acting. with, and I quote, I've lost perspective on what I'm doing. I think it's good for me to take a break and reassess why I'm doing it and how I'm doing it. I don't know why I'm putting my hands in things. Very strange.

I'm just doing it. And I think this is probably a good way to learn about that. So he retired from acting and was like, I'm going to be a director, which then led to his directing debut, a film called The Lost River, which critically panned and bombed. Because again, he didn't really learn

from the decisions he was making your only God forgives and pretty much did a similar thing where the movie's just like fucked. So he doesn't star in it as well? Nope, he's not in it at all. I haven't heard of any of the movies you've said for a while. Gangster Squad? No.

Well, I mean, I've only said two since Crazy Stupid Love. We'll probably, I reckon we'll get up to some more, Matt. I reckon that. I don't, I don't think we'll ever hear from him again. I think he's done. Me or Ryan Gosley? Both, mate, to be honest. With this report you've brought in.

So you're calling it now, you reckon Ryan Gosling is done to quote you. No, no, no, you said done. Dern. Did I say that? I said it in a Gosling style accent when it was in the notebook. Every day for a month. I'm done. I'm done with this shit.

Whereabouts, like that's somewhere in America right, that accent. What is it? Brandoville. Brandoville, right. Brandoville, Mississippi. Oh. I think you're very learned. I see you study geography.

Oh, yeah. Is Mississippi in the south? I'm the geography one on this podcast. Canada. Yeah, it is. Wow. I mean, in a way, South America, Canada.

In a way, everything's south of something, isn't it? That's true. That is true. Except the North Pole? I keep going south long enough. You'll blood to get there, Matt. Ah. Ah.

Huh? Hey. Geography King over here. Just got you. No, she got me. Good mother King. No shame of that, sir. So just going on from my geography failure there

The Lost River, critical and commercial failure. Critics described it as a train wreck. I haven't seen all of it and I've seen some of it and he's just like very heavily inspired by a few directors that he loved whose styles just do not match. Right. So it's just, it's no good. Well, like a ninja movie with like Finding Nemo.

So he was inspired by the director of Drive and Only God Forgives as well as the director of Blue Valentine, which are already wildly different movies and then a director called Gasper No who is a French new wave director Gasper no! Don't do it! Gasper, please! Someone said Ryan, no, then maybe this

report would be different because I'd be like, he made a great film but no alas, so he retired from acting to become a director, he fucked it, and then 2015, 2016, he's back acting again. He's back, baby, back from retirement. And here's a list of films that I reckon you guys may have heard of. So 2015 and 2016 came out with the big short

Yes, I'm saying that. Very good. Very good. The big short. About the housing crisis. I've seen that one. Hey! Who was he in that?

He's character's name is like Jared, I think. He's the guy, he's like... He's the one who's sort of... He was one selling it. I have not seen this movie. Oh my God. I can only imagine Christian Bale. Oh my God.

He's the guy who kind of brings Christian Bail and Steve Karel together. Is he one of those guys that works in that office? Yeah. Isn't he the one that brings him to that office? Oh wait, no, yeah, he brings him to that office. He's sort of like a middleman. I don't fully understand the world of high finance or whatever that is. I enjoyed that film, but he was clearly,

that is even what it is. It'll bloon your mind. He's quite like funny in it. Like, he's quite like quippy. Right, he's clearly quite forgettable in that role. He also looks wildly different because he's got like gross, greasy black hair. Does he look like Christian Bale in that film? A little bit, yeah.

Are you thinking of Christian Bale? Yes. Christian Bale is in that film. Yes. As Ryan Gosling. No. What's the drum? At some point, Christian Bale, he drums like a Pantera song or something?

Yeah. I don't know. Maybe walk. It's very good. That's my favourite bit of the movie when they play a Pantera song. That is a good bit. Fair enough. Have you owned a Pantera model in transition?

No, I still do. But the... For now. Well, for now. Until they've become... No, I'm going to, obviously. the birthday will come up or something something appropriate.

I'm gonna just sit on it forever. Or my maniac. But yeah, that movie's sad because of how true all that is and how they, oh, it's fucked. How the banks are just like, yeah, there's like points in that film where they're just like, this is what they're doing

and this is how that affected everyone. And it's also really weird because the film is made by the same guy who made, I want to say Anchorman. Really? It was like a comedy director. Oh, interesting. Isn't that guy's the Will Ferrell riding partner, isn't he?

Yeah. Or is it? Adam. Oh, yes. Adam. Scott. The golfer. He's very versatile.

Adam McKay? Yes, Adam McKay. That's the director of that film. Well done. Yeah, so he made Anker Man 2 so that they'd let him make this film. Right. Ancoman 2 is not very good. Yeah.

Big shot, they're pretty good. Yeah. Anchorman 2's got funny things to it, but it's, Yeah, I didn't love it. It's not, I don't know. You should Zoolander 2? No, I haven't. I think, though, all those classic cult comedies make, and then they get big, slowly,

and then they go for the sequel, and it's often like, ugh, they've just, normally it's every celebrity who loves the movie is in it. Yep. Which means it's just, it's not really a movie anymore. No, it's just cameos. Zoolander 2 opens with a scene with Justin Bieber. But in, like, 2014 or 15, or whenever I came out, all the cameos in that movie feel way too. late.

Right. It treats Billy Zane like he's still very, very famous. Well, he was in the original, though. Yeah. I love Billy Zane in the original. I love Billy Zane. Yeah, Billy Zane's a real babe. Oh, my God.

How'd you feel about the Phantom? Loved it. It's been a fucking waterfall, man. That's awesome. Yeah, I don't know. I know people who do love it. A lot of people who share the offices here, there's a few big Phantom fans here.

We painted one of the rooms Phantom Purple because of it. Oh, I did not know that. And I may have been in that room. I think one of the Aunty Donner guys, I think Mark or Zach, I forget which one. One of them's a big fan. I want to say Mark. Yeah, it seems more like a Mark thing.

Sammy J, but he's, and someone else. Is it you, Matt? No. The fandom is my favorite superhero. Oh, Dave. Dave was the other one. But I don't, I'm not super into it. I haven't seen the Billy Zane film.

Oh, for fuck sake. I just used to get the comics because they were the cheapest ones at the news age. Okay, yeah, you're a big fan. Dollar. You're either a big fan or big fan of savings. Yeah, I love saving. Dusha go on.

Yes. Has it come back around it? No, yeah, but give it a couple more and it will. So then he also made The Nice Guys, which is a lot more comedic role. Yeah, I like that movie. Yeah, it's a great film. Is that okay? Oh, yeah, okay, great.

Yeah, yeah. Often when I like something, I'm like, hey, someone who knows more about this stuff, is it? Is it okay to like? Is it okay for me to? Nice guys, very, very good. Very funny. I watched it on a plane though, and they, like, they censor some of the swearing. Oh.

So, but it was very obvious what they were. actually saying so it just looked dumb. So that added another layer of comedy. It's so weird when the planes do that. Yeah, it's weird. You are such a nice guy. Yeah. But the end, they bleep, well, they don't believe it, but they'll turn shit to sugar and stuff like that.

I think I kept saying like flipping. And I was like, mm. Flipping. Yeah, I like flipping. Something like that. Flipping actually kind of fits the characters of that film, but it would be very distracting. It was a good film though. I enjoyed it.

I did a gig a couple months ago. No. No. Just as I was going up, they said. points left. No swearing at all. And I was in a line that has a, I said fucking. I was called like fuck. And I did like, as

I got to the F and then I sort of changed it to Flippin, but I already, like it was Favton. Anyway, I don't think anyone noticed. I imagine you said Favn. And it was rude.

No swearing at all. That's a rough rule. Well, no, they said, they said the rule is I think they said three swears leaving for the headliner or something like that. What? They've got a quota? Yeah. But the audience are going to be like, actually tonight there were four

swears and I won a reaper. I'd get up there and be like, hello everyone, I'm just piss shit, fuck. Boobes. And then... I'd just flip them off for a bit. And they're like, boobs and flipping you off isn't swearing, so that's the three. Damn. Damn it!

I can't even think of other swears. I'm too innocent. Dog ball. That's my go too lately. That's a good one. Dog ball. Shave it up your ass dog ball. Us. Us.

Yeah, ass is borderline. I'm trying to swear less. How's it going? Well, I dropped the F bomb early in this episode and then again soon after. I'm going to try and not do that anymore for the rest of this day. I'm really, I'm always stressed about guesting on podcasts where there isn't a discussion about swearing. Sure. I'm like, I say fuck a lot.

Fuck's fine. Yeah. We try to avoid the C word because Dave had a conversation with Matt and I about it. But apart from that. Some people are offended by it. You're free to go. Some people are offended by a lot of things we do. I personally am not offended.

But yeah. But also I think something Dave was saying is that it's more offensive in other countries. In Australia, it's sort of another word for person. But overseas, it's like a bad swear word. Yeah, so with our podcast, we do say it occasionally. And we hear about it sometimes. You guys are also very good at derail. The Dirling the podcast.

Wow, some people have described this podcast as the derailing that happens in between. It's the derailing in between the notes of the report that make the report the report. It's much like jazz. Yeah. It's the notes you don't play. It's the notes you don't play. And speaking of jazz, La La La Land, which is next film. You might be the Segway King.

Yeah, it's good. Segways. I'll take it. I'm very impressed. Much like how Ryan Gosling accepted the award, well, was on stage to accept Best Picture when La La La Land was wrongly announced over moonlight. But yeah, La La Land, massive success. Ryan Gosling was again like, hey, you can be funny, you can be dramatic, you can sing and

dance, people like you can't sing that well, maybe don't be musicals, but I disagree. I think his voice is great. So you've seen it and you loved Allerland? Yeah, I loved Lola Land. I was La La La La La Land. No. If you said Gaga for Lola Land, that would have made it some sense. Take it from me.

Daesh They come with a king of cents Because he ain't got no dollars Hey We're all friends here Is anyone else in La La Land? Yeah Did you enjoy it?

I did very much Right See it's got It's had mixed reviews A friends of mine were like Nah Hated it But I sort of figure

And I can see where they're coming from With some of their criticisms But I figure I sat in that cinema And I really enjoyed myself And I enjoyed the whole story And like it was like it was beautiful.

Yeah, really well shot. So well shot. It was great. And I really like Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling together. So I was like, I enjoyed myself. So who cares? So they've done a few movies together. I have done a few years.

Sounds like at least three. At least three. Yeah, so they did Lolloland, Gangster Squad. Crazy Swole. Yeah. I like them together. So you liked it? Dave, you haven't seen it?

It looks like something I would hate. I haven't seen it either. And I wonder. I feel like I'd have to be in the right. I like the guys... Do you like musicals? I hate musicals. Okay, so you might actually like it.

Because one of the criticisms is that it isn't that musical. It opens into two big musical numbers and then pretty much drops off in time. I hate musicals, but I really love the whiplash the guy's other movie. Yeah. Love that. Oh, yeah, we like Reflash. Oh, he's a Whiplash guy. Yeah, I like Whiplash.

He made Wiplash, then he made La La Land and then his next film, which I'll get to in... Another Goz. Give us the Goz. Oh! Oh. That really goes me. And then his most recent film or cinema appearance was the most recent Blade Runner film, which again, critical acclaim, unfortunately didn't make any money, lost a lot of money.

But so did the original Blade Runner. Yeah, right. Because when you make sequels to cult films, much like the comedy discussion we're having before, sometimes it's a bad decision. Why? Are they, um... Is he going to do like several director's cuts again? Different director this time

It was directed by the game Same guy who made like Sicario And prisoners Which starred Hugh Jackman And Jake Gyllenha He's seen that He's a really good director The sequel to Blade Runner

A lot of people Like more than the first one I'm not sure where How I feel about it I just know that I went in being like I really like the first one I hope they don't fuck it up And they didn't

I left very happy I actually saw it In Belfast I wasted the one day I had in Belfast In a cinema And I wasn't I'm I use wasted there, but I was happy because, like, it was a great movie.

Oh, I imagine if it sucked. That would have been real bad. I was like two pounds 50 for a ticket, which is like five Australian dollars. I was like, what? Yeah, it was. Good value. Great value. No wonder, it didn't make any money, though.

Yeah, they need to charge me more. It feels, it does feel strange that those movies don't make money. It feels, like, to me, the logic holds up that a movie that a movie that becomes a big cult hit afterwards, you should go back and cash in for the next movie at the cinemas, but it doesn't seem to necessarily go that way. The first Blade Runner came out in like 82. Yeah, it's a pretty big gap. Big gap.

Yeah, followed by 2007. So, like, hey, fingers crossed. It was, like, good, though, just to see. 17, right? 17. Yes. 2017. Did I say seven?

Maybe. Whoops. You've done that twice today. You're like, because I drop a century, you drop a decade. So you don't have it as bad as me. Yeah, I was going to say that's less shit. It's something 10% bad. That's bad.

And yeah, his next role, the next film that's coming out is called The First Man, where he's reunited from the director of Lollah Land and Whiplash. It's about Neil Armstrong. And Ryan Gosling is playing Neil Armstrong. I assume it was going to be about Adam from Adam and Eve. I think that's probably the reference, though, though. First Man on the Moon, though. So that's the next one.

It comes out next year. Does he wear like a leaf over his dick? Fingers crossed, they've just gone with artistic license of space suit and just a leaf over his deal. Expose genitals, but a leaf. Yeah, that's great. And behind the leaf is a dog dude. I'm into it.

Is it going to be a musical? No, I don't think so. Good news. Yeah, Whiplash isn't really a music. Well, I guess you could see it as a musical. There's a lot of music in it, but there's no songs. Right. Yeah, I'm, I kind of like, I'm okay with musicals, but I don't love them.

Like, I really like Annie, the old Annie. That's a musical. That's a full-on musical. That's a full-on musical, all right. But yeah, I can't think of another one I like. Like you said, it opens with like a song and dance number, but then it's just kind of a nice story with some music in there. Pretty sure I like Annie because of just nostalgia for my childhood back in the 20s in Depression.

New York. I always forget that you grew up with the Great Depression. Yeah, well, I mean, to me, I say grew up, I was pretty old at that stage. You could relate. You also adopted an orphan. Younger, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. That Daddy Warbucks was based on me.

I never know It's but now it makes a lot of sense Is that a nanny reference? Yes A nanny reference would be Mr. Sheffield How have we brought up The nanny again?

I love it It's a great, great I don't know Does the nanny hold up? Does anyone see it? Oh definitely So good I mean it's as good as it was then

Miss Fide It's good stuff I hate Cici so much Yeah I mean you're supposed to Yeah But she's a bitch. But she's also a babe.

I saw an episode recently. She's a babe. She's a babe. She's gross. Go back. No. I never got back. As a kid, I was like, you know, I just like, she's so mean.

She's Babcock. And now I'm like, she's mean. Just quickly. Just before I wrap up my report, and there's like a tiny bit left. I just want to quickly take a vote. Don't think that I'm tying this back in. It's not. I just want to.

So Niles from the Nanny versus Niles from Frayette. Who's your favorite Niles? Good one. Oh, the nanny? Frazier. In what way? Just as general character. Oh, maybe the nanny, actually.

The nanny is a guy. Like, he's the, like, the, nah. Fraser, he's a real wimp. Yeah, he's probably a better character. The better characters are Frasier Niles. Yeah, see, I'm going to go with Frasian Niles as well, so we'll split it. So tweet us in. Yeah, let us know.

The Siding vote. Deciding vote. You're the listeners. Which Niles is the best Niles. Yeah. So it also Niles in, um, in Bresiaz. There's also the river. Giles.

Giles. Damn. You fucking. Played by Stuart Head. Oh, that's half of your name. Anthony Stewart Head. Yeah. What about the guy from one direction?

Nile. Nile. Singular. What about the river, plural? Oh, very good. Oh. Two Niles Rivers. Anyway, Ryan Gossack, nominated.

He's won 20 awards. He's been nominated for 100. Those are actual numbers. Bloody hell. Jess would love. that. A hundred. 20 and 100. No more.

No more. Well, unfortunately. Quit again. I'd like to award him with one more. My favorite person. Oh.

101 still a lot. That's adorable. And you are obviously single. Who's your favorite person? Ryan Gosley. Ryan Gosley. I love him. Yeah.

So you love him as a guy too. Love him as a person. So he's a good person? I think he's cool. Yeah. He actually, I didn't mention this. But yeah, he's also like quite charitable. Like he's involved.

in a lot of charity work and stuff like that. So he just seems like a good person. Do you foresee a time where he'll quit acting again? Well, if it follows the same pattern, he'll probably be, the first man will probably be real good. And then whatever he does after that, it'll be shit. He seems to take it really to heart.

It's like, I did three great films, one terrible one. I'm quitting forever. It's like, no one remembers the shit. No one remembers gangster squad. Who cares? I think the issue is more that he doesn't like, it's only takes it to heart. It's like he's in a bunch of really popular movies.

And then he's like, actually, maybe I am a good actor. and then he takes too big of a risk. Sure. And he's like, whoa, need to calm down. Dusha, would it be fair to say that his biggest fault is that he cares too much? I think that is the biggest fault. Bad acting. Realized that I know I've wrapped up the report now,

but I just realized I skipped a part that I foreshadowed heaps. I'll reopen it. The movies. No. Yes, but that was going to end the episode of that. Right. But I... Call this bit fun facts.

Oh, his current partner? His current partner? Oh, yes. So he was in a film in 2008. 2012 called Place Beyond the Pines, which he... That was popular. It was popular. It did pretty well.

His partner in that film was Eva Mendez, who is now his partner in Rife, and they have two kids together. Are they married? No. Not married, just have the kids. Eva Mendes. Oh my God, you don't know Eva Mendes.

I know the name. The other guys. She plays Will Ferrell's wife and the other guys. Oh, okay. And she's like, she's dropped dead gorgeous, and he talks about her like, she's gross. You've got to be that date. fucking funny.

Actually, the other guys is a film that should be bad but he's actually very good. The other guys, what is that? It stars... Will Ferrell, Marky Mark.

Oh, sorry, that's not the Russell Crow Ryan Gosling. No, that's the nice guys. So who... The other guys. I've seen the other guy. I think I've seen the other guys as well.

It starts... It actually might be an Adam McKay film as well. Right. At some sort of, they're like buddy cop film? It's a buddy cop film that actually starts the first 20 minutes is about

The Rock and Samuel L Jackson as the best cops ever. But they're so good that they think they can survive jumping off a building. Great. And they don't. That sounds funny. It's very funny.

Yeah, that sounds like that was probably all right. Yeah. I remember seeing in the cinema and being like, not expecting much and leaving, being like, I had a good laugh. That was good. Even Mendes and Ryan Gosling, though, having children. How good looking at those children going to be.

Holy shit. Was that a fun fact, Jess? Yes. Even Mendes is also quite, like, is just under 10 years older than Ryan Gosling as well, considering the Sandra Bullock thing. Yeah, okay, there you go. So there we go

There we go Well done So three films If you haven't seen any Ryan Gosling films Drive Probably give Lala Lander crack As well

Shows bit of versatility And an earlier work Go with Half Nail Actually you know what I changed my mind Go with Lars and the real girl Because he's Not handsome in that

At all It's put on a bit of weight He's got a really gross Moustache But it's very very good And if you just want to Fuck your life up Watch Blue Valentine

Because that'll make you be like Maybe I don't want A date ever again And maybe if I am married I should get a divorce horse now. Right. And where does gangster squad?

Gangster squad? Because out of all the films, that's the one I want to see. Sounds like me. Action. Yes. Yeah, you're in action, man. Action, forgettable. Yes.

Gangsters. Squads. Love groups of people. Sean Penn's in it, I think. He's a great actor. He's fallen, he was so respected and it seems like that's fallen away a bit recently. I, well, yeah, I think he was, well, he made I Am Sam and no one gave him shit for it when they probably should have.

Right. Yeah, no, he didn't he, that was like a ward buzz sort of stuff. Great soundtrack of Beatles covers that movie. Yes. It's almost like you're putting together a little tasting paddle of movies here for us. Little Goz paddle. I'm loving it. So you've got the, what would you call what's the stout and then work our way over to the...

I mean, he's already given you the three. Yeah, but you're going to find a way to make Ryan Gosling relatable. Yeah. Do you think beer? I need to make that work relate to me. I'm like a dark app. Probably go with drive. It's a bit more.

Yep, yep, yep. And then what's your one? What's your wacky one? I'd like something in here that I haven't tasted before. Gangster Squad. Obviously. That's the palate cleanser. Bit wacky.

Now, what are the fat one? Where he's fat? Lars and the real girl. Yeah. Bit wacky. Right. It's not wacky in the sense of, whoa. It's like, oh, that's strange and nice and I'm feeling things.

Oh. Well, thanks so much for doing the rest. That was fantastic. I didn't know much about Ryan Gosling and I enjoyed it. Good. I'm glad that, again, I'm really sorry that no one got murdered and there was no mysteries. Never apologize for that. Yeah.

To be honest. Look, I did what I could. Don't apologize. We do have to thank some Patreon listeners, don't we? Would you be interested in thanking some of them? I hope that, like, I've got some names here. I hope that some of the names I say have listened to Plumming the Death Star and hate it. Like, that was not for me.

So we'd like to thank the people that support us through Patreon. Patreon.com slash do go on Poders where you can pledge to the show if you enjoy listening every single week. And I would like to thank. Is it okay if I go first? Dave, I mean you've just jumped in. Very Ryan Gosling of you taking the initiative. Is this good? Is that good?

Yeah, that's good. Just saying his name is good for me, to be honest. Oh, really? You just love him that much. I have a shirt with his face on it. It's actually my Twitter profile picture. So if you had... Two shirts with his face on it actually

One where he's on the face of an actual gozzling I don't wear that shirt in public What have you met had to meet a celebrity You know, you got to, you know, talk to them Get their autograph, that kind of thing Is he your number one? That's a tough one because like I like him so much That like I feel like that

Like I might blow it And not like I don't think I'd be a creep It's just like I'd balloon it Good throwback I just like I'd be like I'd be like, I'd leave and be like, fuck, I either came across weird or like I didn't ask him something I wanted to. Or I'd like go into it too casual and they'd just have a nothing in conversation. Yeah.

I don't know. Yeah. It's a tough one. It's a tough one. Never meet your heroes. How about we do this, right? Each name will get Dusha to allocate a guzzling film. A film.

I was going to say recommend a movie, yeah. Oh. Do you hear the name? What movie do you think they remind you of or what they should watch? So I would like to thank these are all Patreon supporters. Thank you so much for everyone that does support the show. But specifically this week from Sacramento, California. The Capitol.

The Capitol. California, that is right. I would like to thank Jack Bergstrom. Jack Bergstrom. All right. California kind of reminds me the beach. I'm going to go with the nice guys. Ryan Gosling goes for swim in a suit when he's real drunk.

Oh, enjoy that, Jack. That's good. Great one. Is Bergstrom the name of? the singing cowboy from the Simpsons that Lisa falls in love with. Mr. Bergstrom. Also sounds like a member of mayhem.

Black metal band reference for anyone out there. Nope. Possibly someone out there, but it's not in here. Mayhem. I love metal band names that you have to really squint to be able to read. Oh, mayhem, absolutely. It looks like a tree that's gone. The branches have sort of all intertwined.

Some of the writing of the film's, sorry, metal bands, They have like a lineup, 10 different names, and I can't read a single one. All right, I'd also like to thank all the way from Suffolk. Suffolk. And G.B., I would like to thank John Paul Hoare. John Paul Hoare. John Paul Hoare is a cool name. Let's go with Great Britain when I was there.

It was pretty cold. Blue Valentine. Sorry about a sad movie recommendation, but... But you think John Paul Hoar would enjoy it? I reckon it's a great film. Especially on a cold Suffolk. Day? Yeah, exactly.

John Paul Hall, let us know what you think about this movie. Yeah, if you've seen it and hate it, tweet Matt. Yes, I will... Matt will enjoy that. I will forward on the apology from Dusha. Matt, would you like to thank some people? I would love to. I would so love to.

Could I thank from Bargara in Queensland? Thank. Kobe Jenkins. That's a good name. Kobe Jenkins is a great name. Kobe. I feel like he should be in. What movie would he be in?

I'm changing. These aren't recommendations. These are movies that... When the technology becomes available, which I think it already is, we'll insert you into these movies. Oh, that's a big one. Because Kobe instantly, I wanted to put him in a basketball film. Of course.

Ryan Gosling, sadly, he's not straight. But he's also, he's from country Queensland. I'm guessing it's country, Bagara. Maybe it's a suburb. Well, if you're thinking sports-related, what about Remember the Titans? Yeah, actually, that's a good. Very good. Yeah, yeah, let's put him in Remember the Titans.

Kobe Jenkins. Could be the quarterback. Definitely. Very quarterback name. Quarterback. Colby! You know? He's the quarterback who injures himself

and has to be replaced by Dawson from Dawson's Creek. I've changed this movie to Far City Blues. But anyway. Yeah, that's good. That's another great sporting film. And from Bridgewater, M.A. Dave, where's M.A.? Massachusetts?

Massachusetts. Love it. All right. From Bridgewater, Massachusetts. It's Tim. Gannon. Let's go with Place Beyond the Pines

because Massachusetts sounds like it has trees. Yeah. Well, that's where Boston's from, right? Love it. And Tim's nickname

in high school, I imagine, was Tim Gannon the Cannon. Am I right? Absolutely. Also has a great quarterback arm. It's weird

that all your fans are quarterbacks. Yeah, we got a lot of quarterback. Yeah. We've nailed the jock market. Strictly no nerds. No. On this fact-

No, no, nox. Hey, Jock, you get a little of the nerd. Pardon me. Get out of here, nerd. Is it my turn? May I thank you.

Yes, I love you to thank. Jess, do go on. Thank you so much. From Burke. I would like to thank, I've got two cool names here. This first cool name, Max Duke.

That's another quarterback name. That's a quarterback name. Max Duke. Max Duke. I know I've already recommended this, but Max Duke sounds like like the nice guys a lot. Yeah.

Or because it's a real cool name, Drive is a real cool movie. I reckon he could be in the passenger seat. Yeah, he could. He could be the navigator, Max Duke. And just next left, driver. Thanks, Max. Which Burke?

Just lights. Where's Burke? Is that Burke in Queensland? Burke, Virginia. U.S. Virginia. He's a Mountain Mama. Is that a line in that song?

No. Where's Virginia? Mountain Mama. Have I even seen that wrong always is? At least you've ever been putting simply in Arizona. Simply replaceable. That's what you're doing. Simply irresistible is what you're mixing up.

Simply irresistible. Oh, I just thought that song was irresistible. Oh my God. We work hard with him. Sorry about him. No, that's okay. I'll go one more from Plymouth. I would like to thank Anna Fox.

Oh, they are both great names. They've both got X's in them. I think that's what. X is cool. X is cool. It's shorthand for cool. Do you want to be cool, get an X in your name? Anna Fox sounds like a, that's also like an author name, like a very much, like if I went

and it's like best published, bestselling books. Anna Fox. Anna Fox. Next to J.K. Rollins. Initial A. Fox. Whoa. Yeah, that's good. That's good.

A. Fox. That's very good. Thank you so much. Stop patting me on the head. Good boy. Good boy. What are you inserting her into? Four.

Let's put her in Where would A. Fox fit real well? Yeah. Too bad he wasn't in the Fantastic Mr. Fox That would have been a no-briener. Well, actually, that has given me an idea. Lead actor in Fantastic Mr. Fox, George Clooney. She's now in Eyes of March.

Great. Enjoy that. Good one. Come on. And what's that movie? That's politics. So maybe she's the president in that now? You know what?

I'm happy for her to be the president. Anna Fox is another, that's a great president. President Fox. Yes. She is British. So that's French. She's going to have to do an accent. Dave, could you just give her a quick lesson in how to do an American accent?

I wrote you every day for a month. Thank you, Mr. President. You're welcome, sir. The line isn't even month. It's a year. I haven't seen the fucking film. But we corrected you the first time. You actually said it right the first time.

Yeah, then changed. And then you were like, is it a month or a year? And then we were like, it's a year. God, and you just went with the month. I don't remember that. Do you do us the honor of thanking a couple as well? Yeah, absolutely. Dive into that list there, wherever it takes you fancy.

Yep. All right, from Sutherland, Great Britain, we have Joe Moritz. Oh, Joe Morrit. That's a really, I don't think you'd get away with that name outside of Sutherland. Yeah, it's very, very British. Which is unfortunate that he lives in Sunderland. Whoops. Mate, you better get out of there.

Quick. Joe Morritt. Are you going to, will you sound like you've got a just as good of a knowledge? I wasn't at all. I wasn't at all. What are you thinking there? Is he doing anything Britishish? He could do.

He's so versatile. He's very versatile. Hello, I'm Ryan Gosling. Oh my gosh. Cup of tea and a bickie. I'll pop a brew on. I didn't realize it was in the room with such a professional. Yeah.

That is amazing. It's quite intimidating. I'm really sorry. Yeah. No, no, it's okay. I'm kind of going into shock. I know. I know. It's weird. The American accents and the British accents in here. I'm very, very, very, very, very impressed.

We're so much more than just podcasts. Yeah. For example, just then I hit my head on that wall behind me. You're sitting so far from the wall as well. Yeah, I am, and I hit my head kind of hard. So let's wrap this up. I'm May Need Hospital. What movie's Joey? No, morrit. I hear English and half Nelson sounds English.

Half Nelson, yeah, because Nelson was a famous, famous. That's right, Horatio Nelson over here. I'm a little bit aroused, isn't it? Who was that? Lord Nelson. Yeah, Horatio, Nelson. He's the guy in Trafalgar Square. Yes, the big, he was, when I was there, he was being re-erected, I think. Oh, was he now?

Oh, wow. Half Nelson, it's picked for you, Joe. and all right I'll go with next person I'd just like to thank for thanks

CA Taft California I wrote that every name for a month Taft that's a

Simpson's reference as well I think that was a president Taft Taft Is that ringing any bells, Dave? No.

Homer or someone goes, Taft. Remember that time they said that one word, Dave? For fuck, Dave. He knew, like, he is very good with these, normal. That's the first time I've stumped him. Maybe because I've made it up. Taft. Taft.

It's, like, there's a spark there. Like, no, I just don't want to not remember it, but I just can't. So if he's from Taft, Taft, Taft. Taft. Well, he's got a really, like, wrestling name, which would make me pick half Nelson, but we just picked They're going to have two co-stars. Trent Unra.

They could be the undercard in the wrestling movie. Yeah, they're going to cast him in The Wrestler, I guess, instead. Yeah, which is Ryan Gosling is not in, but it's a great film. But Ryan Gosling enjoys that movie. Yeah, 100%. Yeah, that's great. Perfect. Thank you so much.

Joe and Trent. Thanks not everyone. Dusha was worried that you guys wouldn't, oh no, actually, no, he was hoping that you guys know his podcast and hate it.

But yeah, sorry if you wanted to hear your own name said by someone from Dugo on a nice sense. I'm from Dugo on.

Thanks, Joe Morritt and Trent Unra. I think if you weren't happy with Joel, then I don't know if you can be happy with this. You step down. He's pointing at his dick. He's always pointing his dick. Hands above the board. I hope you're happy with it. I'm not

This podcast shit. It's like do go on. Shit. So shut up a second we pick topics I guess kind of similar and we go through like the history,

the facts and the pop culture behind it. But our topics are usually That was our idea. Our topics are usually not well like there's never

reports and a lot of the time are going from memory so we're wrong often like how we forgot that flamingos could fly. Yeah, that's not a good sign. You were thinking of flamingo dancers. Oh, we were. Who ironically can also fly. It's a bad memory. Got a bad memory.
