Happy Fourth of July, everybody. I hope you all are celebrating well and safely. We're going to celebrate today with a movie review. Varsity Blues is what's in the chamber. Chris, Nate, Kyle, and Kingston all went back, watch the movie. We've got some great takes now that it's fresh in our minds. We're going to talk about our favorite scenes. We'll obviously fire off our favorite quotes.

We fire off almost too many favorite quotes. But this really turned out to be a great football movie. I mean, you've got John Boyt playing the villain nearly perfectly. You got James Vanderbeek figuring out his accent as the movie goes along. And you've got pretty much Peak Paul Walker. So enjoy the guys giving this movie a deep dive. we really go into everything. And then for the second half of the show,

Kyle Kingston and myself jumped on the mics. We just talked about what was going on. This was a couple days after we recorded the varsity blues review. And we just wanted to have a little bit of fun. It's the summer. We wanted to talk about July 4th. We wanted to talk about me and Kyle playing golf,

which I know y'all saw, the big match we had. We wanted to talk about all the summer activities everybody's doing. Kyle picked up pickleball. He's playing it in his yard. But we just wanted to have a little bit of fun. So, y'all please enjoy.

that come back on Thursday because we're going to have any given Sunday and a very special guest joins us for the Any Given Sunday review. So make sure you come back on Thursday and have a very safe before. They call me to breathe. Keep blowing and low.

All right, what's up, everybody? We got our first movie sports movie rewind here today. Super excited. We've got varsity blues. We've got Kyle in the building, Nate in the building. Chris is here. Cowboy Reed. We all rewatched the movie. We were excited to talk about it.

First, just want to go around the room. Everybody, give me, like, one thought that came to mind when you rewatch this movie for this recording. Well, first off, to set the scene, we were all high school football players. But not in Texas. It's different. It's different. Very. That's the one takeaway that I had was like, whoa, this is different.

Like, even from when they were like, dummy-o. Yeah. I was like, first off, it's Scout O. Yeah, they call them dummies there. I watched with Meg last night, and she was dumbfounded. I mean, I don't think she really paid attention to the movie when we were youth. But everybody in here played high school football. I think, Reed, you did not.

But you would have been pretty good, I think. I was like 140 pounds soaking wet in high school. I would have been a great water boy. I mean, this is a compliment. You would have been the type of kicker that everybody loved. Seriously, at 140, if you wanted to trot out there. Dude, I could nail 15-yard kicks, no problem. You were the kicker and you always had the backpack of the parties because you had all the party favors.

You're not wrong. You probably did have the party favors. Not to fucking get ahead of ourselves here, but you could have easily kicked for the coyotes. They didn't even use their kicker. Right. I just stand and look pretty. Yeah. Anyways.

Analytics be damned. I'm going to start this off and I'm going to give you guys a couple of my main thoughts about this movie. First off, there were ups and downs. Okay. Like, there were parts of the movie that I didn't love. I hadn't watched Varsity Blues since it was out. And so I go to Rotten Tomatoes as if that's like going to be kind of varsity blues. And it was worse than I thought, the critical acclaim.

Oh. But the movie, especially when it got going, I thought there were really good parts early. And I don't know what this is called in a movie, but you guys know exactly what I'm talking about. Like three quarters of the way through a sports movie right after they go through the good montage of everything that's coming together for the team, there's always a bad part. and in varsity blues it lasts like 40 minutes and then you know they rectified the situation at the end I thought that was the strength of the movie so not to get ahead but I love that part

the movie is basically about show the struggle really well yeah and I don't know what the term is too like they really did a good job of bringing like the anguish of being a football player and trying to get things done like even during their their thunderstruck montage like after the hangover they're making plays but they're getting

fucked up and like you can see these guys trying their best and like that's what high school ball is all about like you're actually giving it you're all you give a fuck in high school you really do those kids cared a lot billy bob was crying yeah that's probably because he had a post-conclusive syndrome yeah he had a fat attack out there and james con i keep fucking up why can i not get these two john phillard james con a couple football coaches one of them uh made Angelina Jolie. Right? Right. Why? No, it's not that wild. He's such an alpha though in that movie.

Like you see him as the head coach and you're like, I can totally. He's a great character. He's such a good actor, man. So here's the thing about the movie that struck me the most was a great job with the dip. Whatever people are calling that, you senophiles or cinefiles or however the fuck you would say it. You could tell me what that part of a movie is called properly. But the beginning of the movie was great. Like you always have to do. develop the plot and I'm like a big snob on plot development. You know, I'm not expecting much from this movie when it comes to that.

The audience score, by the way, 76% that the critics, 43. It's not terrible. Can't trust the critics, where you've got to go with the audience. No, they're going to be too highbrow for this. Relative to other scores, but I feel like that's a pretty good score. Yes. So anyways, it's kind of like Firestorm, low tomato meter, but high audience score. So you're going to have a good time.

Yeah, like the way they introduced the characters, I thought was really neatly done and very I didn't think about it this way when we watched when we were kids but like it was five fucking guys in a truck and you're only going to meet the five guys in the truck all the other guys in the team they really don't have names they don't have roles

and they kept it nice and neat like that they waited 40 minutes to introduce the one black guy in the truck they took 40 minutes to introduce him I didn't hear anything from him until like he was like hey coach is a racist gramblings coming through it was a different time

yeah well not I mean like there yeah Chris I thought you knew yeah right and I was like what's he gonna do now but that leads me to my other main point which is moxen and the movie was was good it was really good and important but he was an even better character and although I thought that john void probably stole the show I thought moxen's character was awesome okay first off him and Paul Walker were fucking ahead of their time. Okay, like I didn't realize people were onto this. I mean, I forgot this part because in 99 we're watching the movie,

air raid. It's like a new thing. They were ahead of their time a little bit. Interesting note, they had this guy who used to play at App State who was like managing the football part of the thing. And in 1998 in the fall, while the movies being edited, Mike Leach was at Kentucky doing air raid. And the next season, he got hired by Bob Stoops.

Texas was already high school-wise leaning towards the spread. Georgetown where they're filming the town in Texas. Art Bryles used to coach at Georgetown High, and he was running an offense. He'd soon run at Baylor. This had echoes in the real football world. Well, it was cool. There was like a little nugget of like real football history there

and like development. They line up in quads formation during the first practice. He's like, what the fuck are you doing? He's like, we're getting five guys over here. We're going to get one-on-one on the right side. He's like, you're too damn fucking stupid to be. He said, he said, what are you doing? He goes, it's a secret.

He said, oh, it's a goddamn secret, right? Upti fucking hoop. Give me a break. Jesus, name, Moxie. What are you doing? What kind of Lula formation you're pulling? It's a secret. Oh, it's a secret.

I just thought, you know, one of the biggest leads of the movie was that Gilroy got out coached by two fucking 18-year-olds. Like, people don't think about that in the biggest game of the season. It just dropped down from 6A and, like, They're supposed to be doing people. Yeah, they were playing fucking schools of 4,000 people in the senior class last year. And Paul Walker's out coaching you on a bum knee, dude. You guys were, you know, they were at a party like a couple nights ago.

So I thought it was a great movie. I loved mox in the character. He stood up for racism. He left larder on the couch all sad. Dude. Gave her a blanket. Like did the right thing. He was Derek Henrying all the hose.

And then he saved Billy Bob. mental health crisis he goes to the hospital to visit Paul Walker he was a hero and Julia told him to be a hero and he was he was truly a hero. Moxman was a great character. I want to step in and say that's questionable that he saved Billy Bob

you can one can argue one can argue that he actually he's the reason why the whole situation happened because when he walked out there with the team doctor team doctor asked Billy Bob how many fingers do I have holding up

You're right. He says three. Multiple choice. And Moxin goes, no, you have to ask him. It has to be a true false. Yeah. And he goes, Billy Bob. Does he have fingers?

Do you see fingers or are he holding fingers up? But if he doesn't have the knowledge of what head trauma means, is he culpable? In your, in your eyes, is he culpable? I think so. Really? I think he is because. Interesting is a callback to a conversation we were having 10 minutes ago with your equipment there. He is culpable because.

Because he is a future Brown student, and he holds himself high. And at the end of the day, the entire movie, he steps in to be like, hey, guys, don't listen to Kilmer. Think about your health. Think about your leg. Think about whatever. And then in that situation, because- But again, nobody was thinking head trauma was bad in 98 in Texas. Like, I even think at Brown, they were probably giving cats fucking smelling salt.

He's the one that tells Billy Bob, go get a cat scan. So he is aware. I got my cats. Well, maybe he got educated. I got my cat. You know, you bring up a good point. They were all complicit. Like the whole town was complicit.

Everybody knows, they just love football a little bit too much down there. They didn't know. That's okay. That's what, you know, it's in the water. That's my take from it is that Texas football in small towns, it's just a different ball game. Yeah. And if you're doing as well as that school was, I can definitely see some of the things that were going on this movie really happening, like especially the scene where the cops, they're complaining, and Kilmer's like, are my boys too much for you? And the guys did, like, they immediately,

like, no, like, no, they're fine, they're fine. No, sir. And I can see that happening places, like, 1,000% if the school is winning, if it's bringing the town money. It seems like when you're in the league and you're winning big time, like you get away with. Dude, they got to... It's so interesting, because I always hear this about places. I played at Virginia, and then I played for the St. Louis Rams most of my career. So I never got away with anything, dude. I played up north.

It sounds cool. We didn't even play on Friday nights. It's like rock star status. If you're winning, as you know, you want two Super Bowls, but you're winning in these big towns. I wouldn't do any bad shit at that point. You know, I was old. Imagine being a young guy in the league and you're winning games like this. But, I mean, and that's kind of how this Texas high school ball seems to me, at least.

Yeah. They're extremists with the shit. But it probably was terrible in that town. when they lost, you know? The week after they got blanked after the hangover game was probably terrible. This is funny because, obviously, I think this came out before,

but it looks like even by time Friday Night Lights, that movie comes out. Texas football, high school football, hasn't changed much because it's kind of the same thing with the coaching and like the town, just if you win or you lose,

like they're on your ass. I want to say, one thing before we get into the dimensions. I want to show you this picture. Okay, and this, this has stopped me dead in my tracks last night, about 1 a.m. watching this movie. Oh, yeah. Okay, who's that?

It's the Gilroy mascot. Who does that look exactly like? The guy from blues bananas. Drew Breeze. Oh, that's for me. Former Texas high school football legend. I almost thought it was Drew Breeze. He doesn't have the birth mark.

I thought it was, in 1999, he wouldn't look that old, but that looks like Drew Breeze. in 10 years. It looks like the actor from arrested development. That's what I thought. Will Arnett. It looks like. Oh, it does look like Will Arnett. It's like Will Arnett and Drew Brees. Yeah. Had a baby. It's so crazy.

All right, anyways. Science. I was stone. I think he looks like Drew Brie. He does look like Drew Brze. A couple things before we get to the favorite scenes. This is actually the first R-rated movie I ever snuck into 12 years old. Wow. It's for another movie. Went into it. I remember watching it then and it played exclusively like a drama to me like I was super into it and now watching

it again almost 25 years later it was much more like a comedy the comedy yeah looking back at the box office it only did 50 million which isn't huge but it feels like everybody's seen this movie so it had like a crazy life on VHS got a cult following well movies were cheaper then right I don't know relatively speaking was it like top of the charts days to confused not wasn't that great that's interesting It's like days to confuse. I remember being the biggest thing. I wonder how many allergies. How many copies were stolen from Blockbuster of this movie?

Probably a lot. That's why they didn't sell. Yeah, people are like, I'll wait to yank it from Blockbuster. All right. Reed, do you got anything? You tell them bacon. So we're doing... Oh, we gotta go best quote.

What's the most quoted line from this movie? I think I got my cat scanned. Really? That's one that I stuck with me. That's so interesting because for me it was, I've used this quote for years and I found out that it's probably overrated because it wasn't delivered that well.

Tan, a fucking tan, man. Yeah, that's a good one. They like sped through that whole thing. I gave it a tan. A tan. A fucking tan. I don't want your life. Playing football of West Canaan may have been the opportunity of your lifetime.

But I don't want your life. By the way, James Vanderbeek, I kind of panicked at the beginning of the movie because his accent was terrible. Yeah. So was Allie Larder. In the narration. From Connecticut. And then he started figuring it out as the fucking, it was like a rookie quarterback figuring the offense out.

He was figuring. It all made sense. Yeah. So, Pukin Rally. Was Pukin Rally born? Hey. If you're hungry, I left a few hot dogs in here. Oh.

I'm back. Pukin Rally. Varsity Blues. And they picked up on it and made it real popular. He told his dad to save it in the kitchen. Here's my favorite quote. Mox's girlfriend saying, I like trains. Yeah.

I did hear that. I like traits. Yeah. She likes locomotives. And he goes, let's go see the trades. It's so random. You thought about group sex. Yes, it's so random.

And just like the way she says it. And the way he says it. He didn't blink. And the way, like, he didn't blink. And he's just like, well, let's go see some trains tonight. You would have thought Allie Larder's character like trains. For sure. For sure.

I want to call the five of us out because there were two great 90s babes in this movie and they were not selected in our 90s draft. You're right. You're right. Yeah, you're right. They weren't as elite as their football team. You know what I'm saying? Well, listen, we're going to talk about that.

We're going to have a smoke show of the. Yeah. I've got some thoughts there. So let's start with the categories. We got favorite scenes. Chris is going to run us through them. Oh, favorite scenes. You know, I thought for sure Thundersruck would be my favorite scene.

And maybe it is the hangover game. What a scene. You know, like you alluded to, it was like the montage of everything that went wrong, the fall start, the tight coverage, the flags. Big hits. The big hits, which the sound mixing was awesome. Yeah.

It sounded like the hits were happening underwater. And they were just loud enough to hear. like disorienting. It was that. And that's how those guys felt. It sounded sound that we are used to hearing on the field. Exactly. Like fog of war.

And those guys were going through it. They were hung over. They were getting their asses kicked. They were getting humbled. It felt terrible. It felt like losing a football game. The box was trying to rally him. The helmet shot, I think, is one of the most iconic shots in a football movie ever.

Yep. With Vanderbeek struggling to get that foam padded helmet, 9, 1999 over his head. He's got a big ass. he's got one of those actor heads. He's like little. Little body, he's got a big head.

And he's pulling that thing off. I was shaking at the knees. And I get chills every time, dude. I get chills every time. And I'm watching that scene for the first time in 10 years. I thought it was great. I did not think that the speech was that great during that game. Because that's the game.

They came back in the second ever. They lose that game. The Thunderstruck game is the game they lose because they're all hung over. So I'm thinking of the Gilroy speech. We'll get to that. You think you don't have to listen to me? Your daddy was a no-talent pussy, but at least he listened. You think you don't have to listen to me?

Your daddy was a no-talent pussy, but at least he listened. I'm like, damn, me and my dad just caught strays. There's a big overlap between the coaching staff and the dads that are at practice a lot, and I love the dad at practice culture because we didn't have that. We didn't have that. The same four dads, King of the Hill style, are sitting over there drinking beers, like just punt. They were King of the Hill characters, and they're not. Not only we'll talk about best supporting actors, but I thought the one guy gets real excited about everything the John Void says.

Oh, yeah. He used to rob my ass like that 27 years ago. Damn them boys are having the time of their lives. The boys are having the time of their life. Yeah. Used to hammer my ass the exact same way 27 years ago. Hell, it's good for them. Shit, them boys is having the time of their lives.

No doubt about it. No doubt about it. Uh, okay. Well, speaking of Kilmer, what did you think of the way that he was introduced at the beginning of the movie at the prep rally with his hand? So, yeah. So Kilmer, me and Matt came in this morning. We were like, was Kilmer a Nazi German guy? He was doing the whole thing.

He took a lot of motifs. There's a lot of motifs. And also, it was interesting. One of the things that we picked up on today looking at best props was the book that, that. Oh, my God. that, yeah. Kurt Vonnegut. Kurt Vonnegut.

Yeah, so. I tried to look, pause the movie so many times. Did we find, do we know what? We know what book it is, and I'm going to tell you something about the book. Was it? Brave New World. What's the name of the book? Slaughterhouse Five.

Kyle's like, yeah. John Amos, dude. Oh, yeah. Did you read that? It was a sign. I think that was the one I didn't read. I read the other one. I read Brave New World.

60% of America. They kind of signed Varsity Blues. So, so. I need to read Slaughterhouse. Slaughterhouse 5 is about somebody who's like, can you read me that plot? It had something to do with Nazi Germany. So basically, I'm wondering if there's a theme, an undertone here where basically John Void is Hitler. We got to call John Amos.

He kind of goes out in his bunker at the end of the movie. So maybe that's why he's doing, he's reading more. And he was like, he said. And the injectables are like. This is who he acts like. This is who my coach acts. It's too much. Maybe.

Well, maybe. So that makes Sloth House 5. That makes Johnny Mox and Hugo Stiglitz. Okay, here we go. Slaughterhouse 5,

or the children's classic, is a 1969 semi-autobiographic science fiction infused anti-war novel by Kurt Vonnegut. It follows the life and experiences Billy Pilgrim from his early years

to his time as an American soldier and chaplain's assistant during World War II. He was an assistant as well to, to Paul Walker. To the chaplain. Yeah. To the post-war years with Billy occasionally traveling through time, which...

As mocks, the narrator does, because he narrates part of the future. Wow. Yeah. From the future. I'm going to put my hands down. People from the future. Okay. So, you know, Billy's captured by the German army and his survival of the Allied firebombing

of Dresden. That was the movie. That was the hangover movie. Makes sense. The hangover game was the fire bombing of Dresden as a P.O.W. Prisoner of women It makes sense There was only one black guy

On the team And he wouldn't even take the time To call fucking gambling Bro, you gotta call one HBCU That's true One You can't even call them

You're the best coach In the state That's some bullshit But that's classic coach shit Right guys say I would have gone D1 If it wasn't for my asshole coach That was a really tough

How many guys do you know That have been like I would have gone into the league, but my coach never sent the film to Grambling. Yeah, probably a lot. It happens, and it's real. It definitely happens. And that's why this is like a real-ass movie.

Because a coach like that, you have enough you have enough clout that these schools, like, they're going to take a second. Like, they get a million tapes, a million highlight tape. They respect your word, though. But hey, you know what? If it's coming from this coach, let's look at this guy. Yeah. But

we may not even have to look at him because we trust him so. Good for Wendell and his mama because they did their own recruiting. Yeah. And Grambling came to see him anyway. His mom was the real MVP. And then also, that was a really tough 10 minutes for James Vanderby. He got caught cheating and learned what racism was, like, in a five-minute span.

And then the movie was, like, heavy from that point on. That's the dip I'm talking about. Before we get to that dip, what did you think of the family barbecue scene? So that's my favorite scene. So that's where I was going this whole time. So, so I remember Thunderstruck being scene number one. It was great. Okay, it was a great scene.

But the family barbecue was like the moment I turned to my wife and was like, oh, yeah, this movie's, this movie's, this movie's fucking rolling now, dude. First off, you get, there was that, that little brother, Kyle. Kyle's the best. He's the best. He's very spiritual. He was just over there by the grill and like a ghee and some sunglasses. He was nailed to a cross.

So maybe his dad's like, what's with the cross? He's got a cult. His dad's like, hey, freakos, go upstairs before he gets in the brown. He's got his money's over. Just having Kyle in that scene's great. And then it just turned into the dads who I thought were some of the king of the hill dads were some of the best supporting actors in the whole fucking movie in that they were like kind of really bad.

Terrible. They were caricatures. And I don't know if they were told to overact or if they just weren't great actors. where they were like, care, why don't you care more as an actor? To me, they embody what I think a Texas high school football dad is like. So I think it was perfect. For me, not ever, like not knowing what it's like. But if I had to imagine like being in a town like that,

that's what the majority of the dads on the team would be exactly like. So it's like there's three dads. Living in their wonder years, they all went to school. They played football and now their sons are up. So like they're living through their sons and they want things to either be better for them. But it seems like they all have the same coach and they won with this coach. So obviously you want to see your kids do it. And it's just a funny coincidence how they tie all that.

Oh, you think he's first string. Mox's dad wants to relive his childhood through Mox. Lance's dad just as like my son's a boss. No, but more, more. They all have different reasons to be there. But more Mox's dad sees like that basically Mox is what happened to him. Because like Gilmer said, he was like, your dad was a pussy. No talent pussy.

It was a no talent pussy. So he, I guess as a dad, you know, like, hey, my son is actually pretty decent and I want better for him. Rectify the situation for me. Exactly. And I at least want to see you get on the field. so I can get these other guys off my fucking back. We're all doing that with something as parents.

I guarantee you I'm going to do that with something with Whalen, like, and with Luke. It's something you weren't good at, you want them to be good at. Hell yeah. You know, and it's not going to be football for me because it worked out. Learn your fucking tax. Yeah, like, be more financially literate. Pick up after yourself, like shit like that.

Mox's dad made a big mistake running a slant, though. Button hook, right? Okay, we've got to talk about that. That's where I was going. It was button hook, button hook right. He announced the route out loud. He runs him into the fence. He runs a slant into the fence.

And then it's the whole montage of, come on, Johnny, you can do it. Hey, you feel like chicken tonight? Fire that fucking pig skin. Sporting some two now. Your winner. Throw the damn ball. Come on, Johnny.

Shows what you do best. He's chicken. Yeah, he is a chicken. Throw that damn ball. Hey, you feel like chicken tonight? I raised you to be a winner. So damn it, boy, win. Fire that fucking pig skin.

And then it goes red. The screen goes red, which is almost indefensible. Like, that's a terrible choice. But it works because it's just a fucking overblown, overacted scene. That looked like it hurts so bad. Does Mox hit him on purpose? Like, are we supposed to think that? Yes.

He's that good. Drilling him. Because he's been hitting the mascots. And he doesn't realize it until. everyone cheers when he's stopping the clock and he hits the mascot the same way. And his dad then takes a step back and's like, this motherfucker did that on purpose. Yeah, yeah.

And the best part of that, you know, he gets drilled in the face. And then everyone's like, oh, he's okay, get him some ice. And then he comes up with blood. And he was like, oh, shit. Yeah, he got fucked up. Yeah, my nose kind of hurt when I saw it. Yes. My eyes were watering.

Well, you and me, we could catch a football anywhere in the catch radius with our schnazes. Look at us, Kyle. Yeah. I think I can't too. My, uh, yeah, I think the fits. Oh, dude. While we're talking about that scene, the, uh, shit lies around a corner. Lance is fit, casual, uh, you know, plaid shirt, backwards, uh, snapback.

Elite. Rest in peace, Paul Walker, man. Yeah, rest and peace, Billy Bob. Nobody, nobody pulled off. Yeah, rest in peace, Billy Bob. Stuff like Paul Walker did. Billy Bob's, uh, the actor that. Bob Lester died in 2016.

I didn't even realize that. I said a couple more scenes here. And everybody else wants that. And what about did you guys like talking with Lance gets hurt? Oh, man, that was tough. And the announcer immediately is like, you know, he's going to lose his scholarship. There goes the season. You know, the sky is falling.

I'll tell you, I've hardly ever heard this stadium, this quiet. Lance Harbor laying there on the field. And you see his future going down the drain committed to Florida State. And now what must this do to the Cout's football plans? This Texas town. What's going to happen to the economy? I don't know if I really like that scene. Because if you watch it back, it's clearly off-sides and a dead play.

False start. Yeah, because he fell over. Any way you want to put it, he's off-sides. It should be a dead play. A dead ball foul. Yeah, it shouldn't have happened. And I think that that was like a little bit for me that I was just like, yeah, why aren't they stop that play?

and um also the way he tore his ACL and everything was kind of no it actually i actually liked the hit and i have them posted up on it and somebody should just come and like lumberjack that shit yeah but they acted like this guy was jesus man you know like this guy's got 22 district titles a few state titles you got to believe there's been a better quarterback than paul walker that's come to that school people were sobbing you know like no he was going to fs u in 1999 yeah he was pretty good they were pretty good he was pretty good good and he was such a mensch too how do you feel how do you feel about them showing his butt and like as a like portraying him as a high school student hey i didn't even know who's but

they showed his side butt i thought they showed uh james teeter no they show tweeter's but and then in the dryer in the in the nate in the dryer the dryer scene high school i was looking at alley larder when he was in the dryer who i googled was not high school no he ably ron he was in the Then Billy Bob runs in to throw up and they show the side view of him and the chick like on the dryer. And it's like they show his butt. How do I feel about it? I'm an adult. So it's a film.

And then we got to talk about the Gilroy game, the extended last scene. What did you guys think of that? Like the whole speech by Kilmer pregame and then what happens with Wendell? Oh, I love it. I love it. The best part, like this was one of the best parts of the movie for me because I think that, the whole situation with Wendell and Kilmer's trying to get him to take this shot. And he kind of is iffy about it.

And then Mox is sticking his head in the business. And he goes into the training room was like, don't do it. And then Kilmer's like, why would you listen to him? Like, get out of here. And then out of nowhere, Paul Walker comes in. And he's like, well, I can attest to it. Like, look at me. And Kilmer immediately goes.

He's like, you're going to take advice from a gimp? And I don't know why in the moment, that shit was so funny to me. Y'all wouldn't know anything about dedication, team play. I would. Don't do it, Wayne, though it's not worse than man. You're going to listen to that from a gimp? That was kind of the straw that broke everyone's back and was just like, oh shit. now we really see this guy.

Not bigger than Paul Walker? Yeah, he's an evil motherfucker because everyone loved Paul Walker and he even like the way that he treated him. I refuse to call him Logan. Right? Oh, Logan. Before he got hurt, even the way Kilmer treated him,

like I think that shocked everyone in the locker room like, oh, this motherfucker's crazy. Yeah, he's crazy, crazy. He's crazy. We've all had coaches that have crossed that line where everybody's like, damn, dude, This guy has really lost it. Not to that degree.

These situations allowed, you know, John Void to deliver his best lines. Dude, fabulous. You're dragging ass out there, son, and you're fucking up my universe. Any chance for this season is my favorite line in the movie. Sitting in the hospital, like, they're like, the guy's legs sideways. You might never play football again. Can you practice tomorrow? Yeah.

You know, it was like, you can do walkthrough. Like I said earlier. Can you move the delivery if you know the story? Tell on this bottom about a head coach who asked somebody to move the delivery of their,

you know, the kid, just all-time ignoramus delivery of line. Texas high school football. Yeah. That's a theme because it's the same thing

in Friday night lights. Like, they're going, they're bouncing around and he's like, Midland don't know about like, what's, what's an MRI in Midland going to do?

And it's just like the same thing. Like the coach is in there. And you know this knee, his knee is done. But all you can think about is, well, possibility like yeah that's how ignorant this fucking guy was we need you for one more series hoss nurse doesn't have a division title to worry about does she uh so yeah i just loved like that game

the injuries and that that mutiny all of that like meanness sets up the mutiny like where you're rooting for these dudes so fucking hard all of a sudden you know and like then mox gives that speech which i thought was not great yeah i didn't think there was much to that speech well it's for one, it's unrealistic. Yeah, it's too so, as are most football speeches, I mean, the best football speech ever is the Al Pacino any given Sunday speech, which I used to listen to one of my fucking iPod before games. Based on a Marty Schottenheimer speech from the 1980 AFC championship, which I've never seen. Had no idea.

So, so, like, there are great unrealistic speeches and movies. I think the miracle speech is overrated. I didn't think there was that much substance to the speech. Tell me what the message was. You know, if you like the speech out there, tell me what the message was. I didn't love the speech so much as I love the second half. The way that second half plays out.

I loved hearing offspring in the second half. I thought that, you know, we're going to talk about plot holes in a second. I thought the game management at the end of the, you know, the clock management, the, you know, when he kneeled before half, we knew he was sticking to the quarterback. They're trying to win this game.

I don't know what's going on here. Explain to me it was like they were down three. Yeah, they had a chance to kick a 40-yard field goal. They had eight seconds left. Yeah, and they run a play that keeps the ball in balance. I mean, they go for the win. They're inexperienced coaches. You know, they want to get the win.

They are inexperienced coaches. They want to go back into the strip club and see their teacher. And then especially back then, kick six wasn't around. That wasn't a rule yet. Yeah. So, like, they definitely should have kicked it. Absolutely.

Definitely should have kicked. Well, or just hit it out and then kicked it or something. Like, you know, dude didn't get out of between. didn't get out of bounds Twitter surprise surprise you gotta be worse fucking character you don't like him yeah I can't stand Twitter but you like Twitter he's I have a whole new category for Twitter the can't yeah heard yeah the cancel category because Twitter for sure if if this movie came out today there'd be some sexual assault charges no my good bro he was bragging about late he yes yeah

like Marks literally asked Cardi B's the only person get away with that yeah dude Yo, that's a good one. Mox literally asked him like, are you going to like it in jail? And he goes, yeah, wait, huh? Like that. And I think that's a funny part of the movie because he literally says, yeah, if you want to get laid, all you need is liquor, Vicodin, and something else. And I was just like, yo, nowadays, this movie, no way, this movie got canceled just for that line alone.

It was blowing my mind because it's such a lighthearted comedy. It's almost goofy at times. Yeah. But they let the F word fly. Like Billy Bob dropped an F-bomb? No, was it Billy Bob or someone? Get a homophobic slur off the top? No, he did.

No, and did randomly, a guy's in the locker room before the game, and he's praying, and he goes, as I walked through the shally of a value of death, I will fear no F word. And it's just random. I didn't hear that part. It's so random. It's so random, and it's just like, yo,

why is that even necessary? I would walk by that guy and be like, yeah, he's gay. I mean, obviously, to be that hateful that you're like incorporating it into prayer, I'd be like, yeah, guy, hey, come on out, man. Right. And this is perfect. We're getting into our illegal procedure, illegal procedure sections. So do we have any, like, least realistic sports moments from the movie?

Can I finish dumping on Twitter, though? Please. Yes. I mean, like. Or worse characters. Yeah. I want to finish dumping on. on Twitter. He's bullying the class

of 1980s, bragging about day read. He's damn near... Stealing cop cars. He's stealing cop cars. He's acting like the Riz King. And if you're really... He's trying to Riz on Livy. And you're a senior. He has sophomores naked in the police car. Which he's the type of guy that was like 19th senior year.

Yeah, we all know a Twitter. Yeah. We all know a Twitter. Yeah. Well, I think we were like high character tweeters because I would... He's 5-5 in real life. know a Twitter. We all know a Twitter. Okay. I was saying we were 19 senior year, but we didn't act like this

motherfucker. You can never fully trust the athlete that has pills on deck. Like, you can never trust it because he literally tells usually people like they're real like selective with their pills and Twitter like literally

let Logan take a whole bottle and he's like, I got more. Lance. He's swallowing the pills as he asks. I can only take 500 milligrams. And he's like, how many of these can I have? And he's like, oh, you can just take it.

I got more at home. More than anything, Twitter was not a good character. Like, I understood you had to try to throw in a guy like that to drive that home. But at least like a little bit less heavy-handed. You know,

I kind of disagree because he was a great, he's a memorable character. Believe it or not, like, he almost ruined the Thunderstruck scene. Believe it or not, I feel like,

I went to a private school and like a lot of these characters were like real similar to some of the white kids that like I played with. And like, believe it or not, like we definitely had a Twitter. And like we had a Twitter is usually funnier than that. Yeah. Yeah. But I feel like he took the role of like they didn't touch on it there. But like he kind of took the role of the kid that's on steroid. Like you always have one kid that's like that's maybe on steroids.

We didn't have a roid head. Like or like dabbling in something that's like, hey, like, like you're looking. lifting like more or you're getting like taking supplements and creatine and all this stuff before everyone else we just had we just had a guy that would drink a two-liter bottle of rum before the game and that's what he'd finish he'd he'd put rum and coke in a two-liter coke bottle fill it half up with rum and go out there and just dominate people and that's how this kid we didn't have a steroid guy we had an alcoholic we have a that's how this kid was he was an undersized undersized old lineman and like he used to take roy yeah he used to drink and do all this

stuff that that like I guess like he embodied a little bit like a like a tweeter I just hated the guy yeah all right illegal procedure do we have a least realistic sports moment yeah I mean we talked about the false start on uh fatty McFatterton yeah that that that the false start is is um non-realistic but the hit like the whole plot yeah the cop car scene it's like where are the sports though sports yeah that's what I'm saying like yeah have a lot of barrel stems, you know, like we're watching, and you know what like a stem is at home, like when a D-Line, they yell move,

and then you stem over. And Kyle, this is interesting. I get to ask an offensive lineman. I fucking hated being told to stem. Yeah. It was like such, you know, like I, you know, I'm a de-coordinator who has all the answers. This is going to trick them.

It's like we used to stem versus Peyton Manning. He's going to audible us. Well, we're going to stem. Okay, cool. I'm sure somebody's tried that. before. Did stems confuse you guys? Stems to me, like one rule that I played with was if a guy stem from a five to a four, he's generally not going to go contain rush. Usually when you stem, you're going to either go into that gap or cross face. And it just alerts me that there's

going to be some pressure off the edge. Could I be a jerk right now? And I'm sure you've stemmed back before. And say that. But as a rule of thumb, it's the rotation of safeties and you're making room for somebody else, right? When Kyle got to the Bears, he was not good at stems. He didn't like stems. The majority of the time, when Garza would be yelling at him, like, he would be like, Kyle, no! Dude, I was blind down there.

And it's usually Kyle, like, being a little confused with the linebacker or the DeLyman stemming. Well, he was also like 23 at that point. No, absolutely. I had no clue. So let me. Thank God for guys like Garza and Slop. I had such good vets that were so helpful with that shit.

But they were stemming in the movie. They were rolling and stemming. Okay. I want you to... Confusing stuff. Can you... Can you... I guess you can do this.

I guess the final play, the hook and ladder was... Is it a hook and ladder or hook and lateral? Hook and lateral. Hook and ladder. I've always asked that question to myself. It's a hook and ladder. Nobody's downfield. I guess you can just lateral to that guy.

It just seemed like... legal it's quite risky yeah yeah it is risky comes to a full stop catches the ball has to restart again breaks like five tackles this is unrealistic probably unrealistic but i got to say this he's standing the stiff arm the stiff arm this play is an all-time fat guy in a movie moment or film or cinema or anything like i put it up there with hodore hodore and billy bob the two biggest fat guy moments in in film history really This one's geeky because they have him standing there waiting for the ball right and they cut back to James Vanderby like getting hit and it's like way more actions going on. And then when you cut back to Billy Bob, it's just like mega slow moat.

Like super slow. And then everything's crashing around when you cut back somewhere else. That's a great scene. And then just the dudes on crutches. That's one thing like being supportive. What is it in high school and high school football like in cheerleaders that like, like, like toilet paper is is like a item um but like if you look in the back yeah because in my town like um I didn't play football in my town but my older cousin he was like a star football player and

one of the traditions is the day before the game you would get your house or like a tree in front of your house tpee by the by the cheerleaders oh like I never really understood that and my cousin he lived in the projects so they would teepee his car they were come to the hood and tp his car seems kind of risky it's like it's just weird you know like we were T p and houses in the burbs and it was like risk-free yeah what's the dad gonna do you're yell at us you guys got a least necessary scenes oh like mines was obviously the first billy bob when he's praying and then the and then the um the mocks talking to his girl on the side of of the building i think instead of being at the the the pep rally and she's like yeah i like trains i just think that's like that is great i just don't

know what what the the writers were trying to get or if they were trying to be funny because was this a scene where she was having a hard time dealing with his sudden successes no no no that's when she's at work this is like after johnny mox's early by the pep rally yeah after like during the pep rally, they're outside, like on the side of the building, and Mox is up. Oh, and also in that scene, it's funny as hell, Mox has on the biggest fucking pants that I've ever seen. So you're talking about the beginning. Yes. It's the worst fit of all time. It's not even bell bottoms. The entire, all of the jeans are just like flaps. They're huge. Drum bottom. And then they just, they make that seem like it just goes on being random when she says, I like trains.

Makes Drew Goodens fit look great. You know? Like, those jeans are terrible. It makes me want to look up, maybe look up, like, locomotives in Texas. Like, I wonder what type of trains go by in Texas? Because she said she likes trains. Like, what does that mean? That just means she likes.

So to me, that just shows. It just shows how small of a town they're in. I like trains. I love hearing the train. But one in the morning, sometimes I hear the train. I love it. Believe it or not, since I'm a weird YouTube guy, like train video, have a lot of views.

Wait till you have a kid. I'm here at the station waiting for a whistling waho. Oh, here it comes. Yeah, the guy. Yes, yes. Yeah. YouTube.

My gosh. There's more train activity on YouTube than you'd think. Train spotting. Did you guys think the sex ed scene was needed? That was the scene I thought was a little unnecessary.

Some of the synonyms for Boner was kind of like Rigoborish. It was a bad scene, dude. All it set up was Billy Bob falling out, which could have happened to any time. He wasn't in good health. Wait, so you white guys, your heads get purple when you're hard? No.

No, well, hold on. Why did they say that? I guess it could conceivably get, I think if your penis is purple, you have a problem. So why would he say that? It's because it becomes a yogurt. It doesn't turn into a, my penis isn't an anteater, but I might call it an anteater sometimes. No, I think ant eaters are for uncircumcised guys. Oh, okay.

Yeah, that's true. Yeah, okay. You asked a question, Nate. I'm just thinking. I think that the increased blood flow with the less melanin, less melanin. Yours got purple. You can see. No, no, you can see the blood flow in our body a little bit easier than yours, maybe.

Yeah, it's just different shit. It's like, you don't get sunburned? How weird is that? It's like, we bruise, that's purple. I definitely get some burnt. Yeah, you get a little sunburn. Yeah. You were sunburn Friday.

We were both sunburn Friday. Is that a lot. read am i crazy for saying this am i the only one who's like talking about dick well i guess if you if you're if you're down there giving if you got a boner if you're ready to go if if your musket is ready to fire at the the the brits then it might be it might have a little huge you got an adrian peterson handshake down there might have a little bit of a there's no need to grip it that hard i'm just talking blood flow that thing is fired up ready to go okay so i thought it was a stupid scene I thought it just set up Billy Bob

But the one... It's a memorable line. But the one thing about the scene is... They have to, for the callback. No. They had to do that scene, I think, for the callback of her working at the landing show. No, they just were setting up Superbad.

Not at all what I was going to say. What I was going to say is they were setting up Superbad. Basically, Superbad took that premise and just blew it out of the water, did a great job with it. That was not good. That's actually true. They crawled so Superbad could walk

and then run. Sprint. Nice. You guys got any plot holes that you noticed? Yes. Early. First scene

immediately started a movie. Mox is the only one that runs out the house without a fucking bag on the way to school. No bag. When he runs out, when they beep the horn.

He's not a bad guy. No, no books. It's all up here, dude. No way. He's going to Brown. I don't need a bag. No. Texas curriculum, dude.

I get it. I get it. I don't need a bag? But so what? What about a locker? He could have a locker at school. Yeah, he does his homework at school. No homework, bro.

No homework. You ever heard about study. No. Tell me. Tell me senior year you did not have any home. He was ahead on credits. He got everything done in the fall. You don't have your football.

Like with a dad like that, you don't have your football playbook at home even like acting like. Whoa, whoa. You got a playbook in high school? Like, yeah. Touchdown. Why not? He had a playbook in the movie with a, another book inside that the coach throws.

Playbookception. So that was, but the only fact I said that is because all the other guys, they have a bag. Billy Bob gets out the car to grab Lance's bag and then Twitter before he does that cool little front flip into the back of the truck. Is that a plot hole though? Yeah. Okay. All right. I got some solid ones.

I got here. Okay. Number one, strip club scene. They walk out of the strip club. I went back 40 times. Meg's like, what are you doing? You got to go back further to see the milf. Not what I'm looking for.

Yeah. They walked out of the strip club for 18 seconds and gained no ground. Yeah. Okay, they weren't in slow motion. They were varying the camera angles. They walked out. About 10 seconds in, two ladies walk out. They have ample room to get to their motor vehicles.

Fucking James Vanderbeeks in front. They pan back. They're on the front steps of the fucking strip club. Terrible. Terrible scene. They hadn't gone anywhere. I can go anywhere. It was like they were walking backwards on a fucking airport conveyor belt, dude.

Lacking. Okay. Second one, James Kahn. John Boyd. John Boyd. And I'm a big John Boyt fan for Mankanda. John Voight goes underhand to grab Mox's face mask when he's pissed about the play. Okay?

Halfway through, he's on there for six seconds. They pan back, and he's overhand. He's on a totally different bar. not possible not possible why he had to get a better grip you're gonna be wrong you're gonna be wrong okay

there was no there was no altercation after the first another one yeah there was no shaking he was there so anyways teacher teacher doesn't want anybody knows she's stripper right makes sense except she strips in a town of 1,200 people and her call

her tag song or fucking intro music is hot for teacher at the strip club. How do you not think people know you're a stripper? Like that's totally unrealistic. But you wouldn't expect strippers to have logic. She doesn't want students under age. You don't think that's going to get around that town

that she's a stripper? She was tenured in there. You could tell she'd been in there a while. I guess. Okay, I just thought it was a bit of a plot hole. I feel you. But you don't think that there's teachers or small town like women like working like at.

Well, now they have only fans. And a lot of them get fired for that. Yeah, I think they get fired. I think when a teacher's... How do they get found out? What if there's like an anonymous, no-face only-fans? Well, think about it. Kids, when I was 18, I snuck into a strip club.

I was in two strip clubs. I was in two strip clubs as an 18-year-old. It'll happen, dude. You can't... There's one fucking juke joint in the town. Juke joint. What does that mean? This means a place people get down.

Noted. Any other plot holes? No. They don't go to States. Allie Larder's whipped cream, that was placed immaculately. It was like... Quick. Yeah.

It was too quick. It happened very fast. Perfect. And they were just like, they stayed up there, like some Madonna titties. Yeah. They had to use shaving cream because whipped cream would not hold. I was just about to say... Whoever did it spent time.

She was laying down when they did it. And then she stood up. Meg was like, are those her fucking... nipples? I was like, no, I think they're cherries. But they are a little dark. I would have gone with the Marichinos. Red-headed milk slingers. That's a good one, Kyle. Last plot hole, he gets into Brown in the fall. You don't get college admission letters. Yeah, especially not from Brown. They won the district championship and Mox admits that he doesn't want to play football. He's not going to play football anymore. Like, wouldn't they be continuing on their

season? Yeah, that's what I mean. They didn't. can go to states. How does that make sense? Well, they lost the game. They lost the game, though. What do you mean? They had lost a game. No, but they won districts.

Before the game, they got their move back. John Voight was like, hey, you don't win this game? There's no states. There's no districts. I'm going to blackmail you all. You'll be blackballed. Maybe they didn't let him because John, he got ran out of town. I think, no, he went out in his bunker.

Some of these characters were really awesome. And I was thinking about other guys that would be playing, or gals who would play in these roles. The first one that I was thinking of is Keanu, as a young Keanu as Mok's. Okay, but I heard his arms not great in real life. I heard that was a problem. I saw him throw 40.

I saw him throw in 1911, Colt, 1911's of people in John Wick when he ran that animal. He killed people with weapons. He's like, like, multiple people died. from a throne gun. Yeah. That's good. Yeah. He would have been,

he would have been good in the movie. The guy who directed it, didn't he direct point break? Is that what you told me? Or the writer wrote. The writer, yeah. Tom Cruise, uh,

as tweeter, young Tom Cruise. Yeah. Not bad. As Twitter, like, annoying, but necessary. Stiffler is Twitter with him.

Sean William Scott. Because Sean William Scott would have made him look, he would have, Sean William Scott was a douchebag. Right. But everybody was like, huh, that guy's funny.

Right. Twitter's like, God, that guy's a douchebag. Yeah, yeah. Tweeter's like, oh, what they said, he's going to end up in prison. And with Stifler, it was like, oh, this guy's just going to be a shitbag for.

Yeah. You're either an Amy Smart or an Allie Larder type of guy. Yeah. So basically, you know both. You don't live in both world. Is this smoke? We were going to give out a smoke show of the,

uh, we'll do it right now, Kyle. I give it to Amy Smart. Okay. That's a hipster pick. Who was that? Mox's girlfriend. Guys.

Mock's girlfriend should have been Jessica Beal. So that would be your recast, and I agree. That would be great. Yeah, I think she'd like that. And the other one would be Barbie for Al-Laarder. What's her name? Margo Ruby. Margo Robbie.

The best chick in the movie. She would have been three. Is Miss Davis, bro. That's exactly right. And I was just looking that up. Tani Perinsky, Miss Davis. Yes. Like, like, objectively, the hottest chicken.

movie and if you took ali larder at 40 which is what home girl was when they they filmed this movie what was she in the mustang you do like the drop top yeah i got uncomfortable during the scene i'm sitting next to my wife she she's sitting there thinking you know this is a funny thing when you're watching a movie with your wife trying to imagine what she's thinking you're thinking you're thinking during scenes and you're getting your own head i'm sitting there on an edible and i'm like is she thinking i think this whipped cream thing's hot i don't even like food and sex Everything else is hot. Is she thinking, I think, Ali Larder's beautiful?

Yeah, she's a gorgeous 23-year-old. Her country accent turned me off. But the 40-year-old, I'm a grown man, okay? And also, this gal was the, she was Marshall Mather's mom in one of his, my name is. I think one guy that would be recast would be Kevin Costner, John Dutton, specifically as John Boy. He's not capable of being that evil. He could be. No, I think you'd have a rip.

What role has Kevin Costner ever been really evil in? John Dutton. Is he evil? Oh, buddy. Oh. I don't watch soap operas. Good, well. Okay.

I'm scathed. All right, so we just wanted to run through some mentions here to finish the show. Who do you guys have as the Howie Long best real life athlete in the movie? Well, you told me Wendell was a real football player. I think you had to try out with the chiefs. That's great. No surprise. The one black guy.

in the movie. Yeah, he probably ran all his own plays. Al Contrere, I think I know who dad would pick if he watched this, he would be like, that Lance Harbor guy pretty good athlete. Yeah, he would. Yeah, he would be enamored with Paul Walker. I want to go on a limb and say that Kyle is probably... Oh yeah, the kid. He turns out to be like the best football player in Texas history. Right? Like Jordan Shipley. Yeah. Because you know always the

second son is the best athlete. Yeah, no, it's true. Because the first kid... How do we get in here? Because the first kid doesn't have anybody to play with. That's right. So the first kid is like figuring out on his own. And the second kid is like...

Yeah. And then when the second kid gets struck by lightning, you know, like... And then when the third kid happens extremely fast, like, Howie, I had an immediate playmate. Yeah. Like, we played basketball. We played football. Everything. Is that what happened with your older sister and you?

Yes. Like, inseparable, right? Are you saying you're better? athlete than her no she is she so that that broke that broke the mold there she's in a hall of fame for college so yeah she's a she's got a gold jack so i'm in junior college hall of fame dude boys damn just found out all right best supporting performance who you guys got um it's it's it's john void i thought john void should have won something for this yeah like he was it was a seriously great role that he played and he makes you he makes you absolutely despise him yep and

And that I think when you're watching a movie and if I had seen this movie and seen him right after, I probably would be like, I don't like you. Even though I know you're an indicator of great acting. That's like Shane from The Walking Dead. Like Shiv from Succession. Like if I saw her in public, I'd be like, I fucking hate. I heard John Barrenthal is the nicest guy in the world. I refuse to believe it. I watched the interview on Rogan and the other one where he comes across really good.

I'm like, what a great actor, because I know he's a bad guy. I agree. John Point kind of wins the movie from a supporting perspective. By, like Lance's dad, Richard Lineback. I think he's kind of given this like over-the-top performance, but it's fun. Box's dad as well. Yeah. What else is Lineback in?

He's in Tin Cup. Ten Cup. Okay. He's in a lot of stuff where you're like, yeah. Character. I was looking through his movies. I think he's a government official a lot. Yeah.

Probably. He looks like that. What was he? He's in the room where they launched the dudes. Oh, oh, was he an American Beauty? No, you're thinking of Chris. He was the dad. He was the neighbor dad.

Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. He kind of reminds me that guy. A lot of, like, I know him up. Pull up the guy from American Beauty, the dad from, like, next door. I think Matt knows, but I just have, I just want to. You got to look, yeah. That's not the same guy. Oh, it's not the same guy.

Not the same dude. They're very similar looking guys. What the fuck? White people do look the same. That's true. All right. Best prop. Best prop in the movie.

The book that we talked about was a great prop, but also his, uh, Billy Bob's truck. Yeah. Okay, I'm going to say the 1980 alums varsity jacket. Yeah, that was nice. Fire. That poor guy. Oh, my God. You're about to get hitting the nut.

I felt for him. No, why do you feel for him? What the hell are you doing at a high school, bro? It's not college. Yeah, you know, you need a good point. Like, I had the, you like, when I saw that scene. I felt bad for the guy for being there first. Like, college is one thing, like, you know, you come back, alumni events and whatever.

If you're a frat guy, you might roll into a park. And it's just like, hey, most of these kids in here are probably 20 on it up. This isn't that bad. But when you look and you remember the movie takes place in high school, it's like, what the hell are you doing here? And I think the one time in the movie where I think Twitter is like he's justified for what he's doing. And he kind of looks like, like, hey, kind of like a good guy. Because that is kind of weird. but in the same breath, that would probably be Twitter years to come.

Yeah, he's that guy. I'll take Mox's necklace. Mox's necklace. Yeah, that's a good one. Billy Bob's trophies. Yes. I like John Void's syringes. Oh, yeah.

He passes out to his players. Nice. Lance's crutches. Nice. Best use of music in the film. We talked about it's got to be Thunderstruck. Got to be Thunderstruck, right? I was saying earlier, that's honestly the only, honestly, the only,

song that I'm familiar with in the entire movie. I loved hearing Duke, like, I don't know, that wasn't Dukey. How much do they pay to get Thunderstruck on their movie? I don't know. It's probably owned by the studio. They might have rights. Interesting a bit about that. The same article where I was reading about the offense

and Mike Leach and all that stuff, it was Sports Illustrated article. All the offensive linemen in the movie were real old offensive linemen from Texas, whether they played in college, another plot hole like this. Billy Bob's 28. He's the only actor playing an offensive lineman because we don't have to meet the other guys.

And all the O. Lyman wanted the director to use Thunderstruck for the hangover game. And he just was kind of brushing him off, pushing him away. They would film at night because there were so many night scenes. They'd film Sundown to send up for like a month. Off of one of the breaks, the guy from App State who was, running the football side of things was like, where am I O-Lyman? Where's the director of the movie?

And then he heard a truck doing donuts in the fucking parking lot and he heard Thunderstruck. And so I guess the O-Lyman like strong arm the fucking director into the truck and we're like, this is what we're listening to. Let me show you why. And so they decided on Thunderstruck. It's such a classic song and it's one that like

everybody listened to when they played high school ball, whether it's in the locker room, the loudspeaker had it on or you had it on your walk man. I remember listening to. Jock jams. type shit. Thunderstruck was pre-pitching on repeat. Yeah.

Let's make it a layup line for today. Yeah. And for the Drip Award, Nate already said Mocks for Worst Dress, and Kyle said Lance Harbor Best Dress. I like those. Any other nominations in this category? Ellie Larder. Reed pointed out with the whipped cream.

That was the most iconic outfit in the whole thing. Say pants down the best outfit. That's good, Kyle. All right. Beville Conway Award, most beautiful scene in the, film probably alley larder whipped cream no way just joking dude i wouldn't even that into it mine is you didn't like it but mine is them walking out hungover the landing strip and you see like it's called the landing strip and and you kind of see like there's no cars um in the parking lot and it's just it's

just to me it's bevel conway because back in our days like if you can sneak in to a strip club at that age, I feel like that's a win. Yeah, big win. A huge win. And then you're, then you go, you get in and someone send you shots and says,

it's on the house all night, guys. Oh. I couldn't even imagine that. I'd be like, where are the fans? I can I imagine that? Can I tell you what it feels like? I told you it happened to me twice.

One time in Montana at a place called Mulan Rouge in Missoula. My buddy fell in love with a stripper name felony. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How'd you spell it? Do you know how it was spelled? I think it was just like the charge.

That would be so cool if it was like a eye. With an I. P-H-E-A-L-A-L-A-N-I-I-N-I-I-N-I-I-R-A-L-A-N-I-I-R-A-L-A-N-E-R-R-E-R-N-E-R-R-E-R-E-R-M-A-M-A-M-A-M-A-M-A-M-A-M-A-M-M-A. walked right up to him. A male? Yeah, because we knew, what are you going to do?

Tell on us? We'll tell on you. You know? It felt good to get into a strip club. All right. A couple more here. Golden Goosebump for what moment in the movie gave you goosebumps.

Probably a bad goosebumps when Mox's dad got in the fucking face with a fast one from 10 yards away. Like, that was a brutally shot scene. I mean, probably the mutiny for me. Yeah. Specifically when Van der Beaks,

Like, says he's willing to not go to Brown if it keeps the needle out of Wendell's knee. Another thing is with that scene, and Julia telling him to become the hero and the whole thing about his hero arc, earlier in the movie, he saw that he didn't step up. And that scene begins with footh fighters.

There goes my hero. Exactly. Yeah. Bad goosebumps when Billy Bob, when he takes on the double team and they score. And like you just, like he gets knocked.

that like that kind of you can feel that yeah yeah that movie hurt to watch at times yeah yeah because we all know like as football players that like that shit happens a lot to us where whether we want to admit or not like that that sudden uh loss of yeah loss of consciousness like here and there even if you snap back into it but it seems like an intern we call it getting our bell rung like we have a like a way of saying it yeah euphemism all right the sandlot mentioned so where are these guys now so 20 to person by person. So let's start with Mox. Mox is

opened a megachurch in that area. No chance, Kyle. That's his little brother. His dad wasn't even into religion. Yeah, that's his little brother. He opened to mega church. Yeah, no, no. I think Mox is like a professor or something. No, Mox runs. Professor of religion. Religiosity. I think Marx. He probably runs the biggest, he's the head of probably the biggest oil

distributor in that area. See, I think Mox would be like, I don't know about the environment. He's anti-hugosolar. Mm-hmm. Or wind. He lives in Austin. I would think he's a writer, right?

A writer, you know? Yeah. He stayed up north after Brown. It was like Rick Riley. Right. Right. How about Lance? Lance.

Darcy said she thought he'd end up coaching J.B. And I think Darcy might be right, but I also think there's like a 10% chance. He's in like really low-budget porn. I figured he'd be coaching like a running gun. spread off and sex than him. Yeah. Or once he gets healed,

he starts a life of underground racing. Underground racing, yeah. That's good. How about Darcy? So she's on meth. That's Allie Larder? Yeah, she's on meth. She's also on the boosters.

She's a booster and on the board for the athletics in their district. I don't think she's living a stable life. She recruits young men to come to their school. I didn't like, I didn't like Darcy. And like if they did a spinoff, I would want, I would want, I would want, I think, I would want a deep dive into Darcy's. You want a deep dive into Darcy's. I think, I think Darcy's, I think Darcy's riding public transportation.

She's going CSX somewhere. Maybe. Maybe working at the landing strip. Yeah. I mean, it seemed like her family, like, maybe have money like their house, their house looked pretty nice. Yeah, yeah, the house was nice. Yeah. You know what about that?

Never mind. The house was nice. She's probably not on math. Like, you know what I'm saying? Guidance counselor at the high school. She's married a rich guy. She's working with athletes, though, you know what I'm saying? Real friendly with the football team. Little brother Kyle? Oh, he's the leader of a mega church or like online like something because he already.

He's a Twitch streamer. At his age, I think he becomes a pro football player. He plays for the Chicago Bears for a while and he does some podcast. I think that's a good. I think that's a good one too. He's just, I mean, he's such a crazy character to have. It's, like, juxtaposed against the cast of characters we've been talking about. I mean, he's like a little religious character.

I was a little like him as a kid, Kyle, so actually he might actually end up with a... But the one thing about the moxins, the one thing about the moxins, you can say to their parents, they birth leaders. Because the son, I mean, to start a cult at that age, like, that shows... That's CEO. It kind of shows leader. You know what I'm saying? He's in a C-suite somewhere. And then for the backup quarterback to get the starting job

and convince all the starters to go out, even the black guy who doesn't drink, to go out and drink, the night before you have recruits coming to the game, is crazy. No question, leaders. How about Twitter? Dead.

Dead. Dead. Mechanical injury. Tweeter is on a submarine. No, he's mechanical. He's trying to find the tight team. No, I don't think so. Here's Twitter.

Twitter is just getting out of jail, still on probation, and working part-time at a mechanic shop from the trades he learned while being in jail. He's a cop that doesn't get a gun. I think he died cliff jumping or trying to jump off the back of a pickup truck. Like a mall cop. Some stupid thing. I think he's watching his kid at football practice. No, or here's a better thing. Yeah, probably.

Tweeter, he's Johnny Knoxville before Johnny Knoxville. You think he's doing stunts? Because he's taping all those funny home videos. Yeah, when he gets the guy nuts, maybe one of the videos, they go viral. I still think that the, for my closing thoughts here, I think the Third Reich conversation, how there's a lot of crossover between this movie and Hitler

is actually hilarious to me. Yeah, it's true. The fact that you've, like, thought about it, we looked at it. It's a lot of similarities. It checks out. It checks out. I don't know if anybody's ever said that. No, I'm pretty sure.

Why we could be hard for analysis of what we thought were simple movies. But I forgot Billy Bob. What's Billy Bob doing today? We're dead. Yeah, unfortunately, there's not a lot of old. No, I don't know. I don't mean the actor. I'm not pulling a Kyle with Paul Walker.

I just mean the character Billy Bob. Don't fucking do that. Morbidly obese. We already said that. He was an alcoholic. He was suffering from head trauma. I don't know that he had access to guns. Easy access to guns.

Perfect YouTuber. Perfect YouTuber. Yeah, he'd have a ton of it. He'd have been making money on YouTube. He'd be smoking meats. Yeah. And shooting clays. Closing thoughts, I do think Kyle,

uh, the movie was about what I thought it be. Like, you know, at times I was like, ah, it's not great. At times I was like,

this is a really good movie. I understand why it's so important. I think culturally it's more important than it was good. Mm-hmm. You know. but yeah I enjoy watching it it's a good

it's a good you know a ship in a bottle is like a time stamp or something like you can go back in time and smell it and feel it like that's what this movie was yeah yeah my closing thoughts was that

the time capsule Lance that's what it is Lance aka Paul Walker is a sim is a sim he fell for who's a simp Paul Walker

Lance in the movie he's a sim he felt he's a sim he felt he's a fell for a whipped cream bikini and they like they highlighted it what is sex on the what's the what's the what's the water no a sex on top of a dryer yeah what like what like what is that like the same reason you put coins in a bed my dude coin a little vuvvvvvvvvvvvvv on a dryer yeah dude no you got to put rocks in the dryer coins in a bed you've really ever seen a bed that you can put

coins in? No, they got the vibrating beds. You got to pay for those? Yeah, coins. Really? Yeah, no, I think that it's the coin. The dryer was just the only unoccupied place in the building. It'd be like that. It was a place that he could stand up, you know? Yeah, I guess. Again, if that's like, you're the best quarterback in the district and that's, that's like what you're getting hooked by. Uh, listen, man, she was a beautiful girl. Beautiful. Cool. What fuck, Nate? Yeah, what the fuck?

That's just my take, guys. Paul Walker's a simp. He is. Rest and peace, bro. Okay. Great movie. Great movie. I'd say really good movie.

A little bit of what's going on. As we mentioned in the open, we're going to talk a little July 4th, some summer activities that he's been getting into and just kind of deep thoughts with Kyle.

All right. Hello, everybody. It's me, Kyle. And we are here. It's the last day of June. We are in studio, Jay. Chris is out of town. So I'm with Reed and Matt.

We're just fucking hanging out. What's up, boys? Howdy, howdy. Having a good time? Can I ask you guys a question to start? because I've been wondering about this. First of all, sorry I couldn't come play golf the other day. We forgive you, maybe.

Reed, how are you going to three putt the final hole? Yeah, we have Kyle a victory. We talked about this on AMP yesterday, and it was going to be brought up in this conversation. But yeah, that was a bummer. I was disappointed. I told Kyle, as we were driving up to the green, I was like, if it comes down to a put-off, you're going to win.

You know, I had done well on the putting green so far that day, but you're a good golfer. Like I remember the first time I saw you swing a golf club. We were behind McIntyre Park. Yep. And we were doing the thing where we were hitting golf balls at Nate or Macon and Chris. Yep.

And I was like, Reed can play a little golf. He's got a good swing. Yeah, we started because we've played a few times and you and I have really good matches. Yeah. It's nice to have somebody that can go out there with similar skill level and really just battle it out. And that when we hit golf balls at Macon and Chris, it was fun because we started you and I both started doing, we had been hitting lob shots,

and then we just pulled out the two iron and started hitting lasers. And that was the fun way to do it. Do you carry the two iron in your bag when you go play? I've taken mine out, but I used to. That's such a fucking pissing contest move. Oh, I know. Two iron. Yeah, yeah.

The driving iron, the two iron. Yeah. They hit that well. That's like the Tiger Woods staples, being able to hit a low iron. A load that just flies. And that's how he has won so many British opens. We can't do that. I've been watching so much ball,

Just only because there's no Shout out to Meadow Creek though Matt Yeah no I gotta come out there with you guys You're gonna have to give me like probably two strokes a hole You can bear witness to the rubber match Because we're one and one right now We've done two nine hole matches skins play And we've shot well but we've just finished right there

Neck and Neck both times The first one was rough We both shot mid-40s the first time We lost a couple golf balls It was funny I was telling a couple people Who have asked that we knew who would win after our T shots on that first time we played because one of us hit it in the woods

and the other hit it dead in the middle of the fairway and I feel like the first round wasn't really indicative of the second round because we showed up in the second round we were hitting great shots off the T we were good on approach but that's golf so I wanted to ask you guys today because this is something that I've been struggling with

I love golf so much and when our baby came when my daughter came it was like I wasn't able to golf as much and as I felt the guilt of being a dead and like you guys will be there eventually it's like you you have to be home like you don't have to be home you're supposed to be home you're supposed to be with your kid you it's almost like when you have fun after you have a kid your brain is programmed to be like you're a fucking bad

person get guilty for me time so like I'm trying to figure I've I've been really trying to research in my own life how to get out of the house more and feel less guilty about it and it's so simple but like just do little tasks if you say see a task, do a little task around the house, like, oh, dishwasher's done, put the dishes away. Like, don't just put them right above the, like put everything away. I'll say doing those household chores for your significant other, your friends and family, gives you a great feeling after you do them, you know, like after you've done them, you know. You feel accomplished, but also like you did somebody for, like what you were saying,

you did something for somebody else that, you know, makes it easier on them. Well, it all comes down to making your wife's life easier because, like, I remember. remember when we first had the baby, everybody and their cousin wants to give you advice on being a dad or being a husband. And the best advice I've got so far is, you're gonna be a good dad, be a good husband, and things will be copacetic at home,

things will be happy at home. And so, yeah, like you were saying, help somebody out, make their life a little bit easier. But when you don't get the permission slip, Matt, when you don't get the three and a half hour permission slip to go play golf, what do we like to do at home? We like to play Vigigigames have been good, Matt.

And it's summer, this is like summer steam sale. Yeah, we've been known to duo up a few times. Fortnite, you and I play Fortnite. Matt's Cracked, he's a good first-person shooter player. Matt's Cracked, is that a, is that video game? It means that great aim. He's hitting up. So no scopes.

Great, I can pull some no scopes. Quick scopes, hard scopes, no scopes. But like, I've been playing this game recently. This game that's developed by two or three guys, it's called Battle Bit. All right, work with me here. The characters, imagine, you know the game Battlefield, where it's 64 against 64, there's helicopters,

there's tanks, there's infantry, you're parachuting in and shit. These guys made a game that looks like Minecraft, but it's Battlefield, it's Battle Bit, and the more that I've played it, so it looks like Roblox, it looks like a kids game, but the more you play it, the more that you forget that you're playing Minecraft in your brain

tricks you into thinking that you're playing. Oh, I've seen people posting clips of this on Twitter. It's the best game. It's like the most fun game to play right now, Matt. So it's like 254 players on each server? Yeah. That's crazy. It's, you know, like 120 versus 120 or whatever it is.

And, oh my God, it's all out war. It's chaos. You can't play it for more than 20 minutes of your brain. But yeah, so the Steam stuff, SummerSale, a couple games I've played recently, BattleBit is awesome. If you don't have Battlebit, get it. It's a great game. It's a lot of fun.

If you're a fan of Battlefield, if you're a fan of Call of Duty or Squad, which is more of a niche game, a mill sim game, check out Battlebit. And the other game I've been playing is Diablo, which is first for me. And obviously it's a classic, Matt said. The first thing he said is classic. And you don't know Diablo, do you mean? No, I really don't play. My video game history, I played a, I have.

have a, I had a Wii when I was like 17 and, uh, and I think we had a, we had a PlayStation two, so I played Skyrim before. That's about it. People still play Skyrim religiously. Oh, yeah. The big Twitch. Yeah, absolutely. It was a blast and a half. I did not play long. My favorite PlayStation two game was probably twisted metal. That's going way back. Twisted metal was great. But I would say if we're going PlayStation 2, it'd have to be Grand Theft Auto 3. Yeah, I skipped school for three days. The original Grand Theft Auto 3. Was that you, was that the helicopter one? You can take the helicopter and no. Well, Grant The Grand Tiff Auto 3 was the first one to introduce a plane, but the plane didn't have wings.

It was called a dodo. And if you got it going fast enough, you could take it off a little bit, and it would kind of flutter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was the first game that you could really just, like, walk around into the universe where you could do missions, but you could also just, like, exist in this virtually-stimilated environment. It was the first third-person Grand Theft Auto iteration. The previous two were top-down. Yeah. Okay.

So, like, you were just a little car, birds-eye view around the senior guy. but now GTA 3 you get a protagonist you get a storyline all that stuff that you're there and for but yeah thinking about GTA 3 do you remember the Mafia sentinel the Sentinel is like the BMW yeah the car for sure they had a special edition one the mafia sentinel in that game which is super badass yeah and the character was kind of a rip-off of the godfather yeah exactly do you find that video games can replace what you get from golf if you don't get the permission slip or is it like an almost but not as much you still be at home right? You still like technically be at the house.

It comes down to what do you like about golf? And obviously there's a million things you like about golf, but part of it is having some me time, right? Some put your headphones on, I guess your symbolic headphones. You get out to the course, you put your phone away. But when you're home, you can put on your headphones and look into a screen, the black mirror, and it'll show you what you want to see.

And that's what Steam is. And Steam is like a platform where you can play games on the PC. So that's like, I get this. same enjoyment there like a little solidarity I can close the door behind me breathe and it's the same and that you can like hang out with your boys sometimes like let's say you want to get a good golf force some you can also get like you know your foursome that's going to go play a video game together and talk on discord yeah the discord and you i'm glad you mentioned that it's like a great hangout spot it's like a chat room for lack of a better term that you and your buddies have that's

private um you can post memes or just chat and play but some of the best shit talk is in the Discord. Thank God for video games. Now that we're talking about staying inside all day, while I was inside in my office, I got tired of playing Battle Bit, and I was going down a YouTube rabbit hole. I did find, and if you could pull this up,

the California, just pull up the California Mega Dam Project. Okay, so this fucking blew my mind. California, obviously one of those states that's always in a drought. It's been an official state of drought for over a thousand days. But they also have floods, right? There's flash floods, floods all over California. And you say, how do you have both those issues going on at the same time?

Floods, there's a ton of water and drought. Well, obviously they can't retain the water, right? Like you look at the L.A. River and stuff, made of concrete, you know, where the Terminator was shot, you know, that famous scene in the L.A. River. That doesn't retain water at all. Right. It just flows right out to the ocean. So they've done a poor job in California. It's something they've been dealing with since like the 1950s, you know,

and it's only going to get worse. But they've made this fucking plan, dude. It's a $4 billion mega dam project that's going to be in Sites, California, I think. Essentially, there's a ring, like a bathtub-shaped mountain range, like in a big ring. And there's not any towns or anything of, you know, they're going to have to displace some people, which sucks. Wow. So if you're in that valley and they're displacing you,

I hope you get a proper, you know, San Alibu residents. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Because you're doing the state, a big service. They're going to fill up this, they're going to damn it in two spots. The site's dam.

And, yeah, $4 billion. It's going to have enough water in there for like two years of drinking water for California. Wow. The video I watched, and if you want to check it out on YouTube, you just type in Mega Damn, California, and this thing will come up. California's new, $4 billion mega reservoir. So I keep saying Mega Dam, it's a mega reservoir.

They're going to build a fucking massive reservoir in California. I thought it was really cool. I'm into engineering. Another game that I enjoy, Matt, is Cities Skylines, which is the more advanced simulation of, you know, what we all know as SimCity. uh so yeah four billion dollar mega dam check that out pretty fucking cool if you're interested in mega dams may i suggest looking at what the chinese have done yeah let me see it crazy mega dams going on right now

chinese mega dam three gorges dams yeah yeah yeah yeah crazy big the on the yanksi river and this this did displace a large number of people yeah i mean and you know they didn't ask any questions they were just like we're fucking moving you guys because this is good for the country and i I feel like China, I mean, I'm wearing red, white, and blue right now. I'm a big American, you know what I mean? I'm a... Literally a big American. I'm an American dude, but I got to say, I tip my cap to these Chinese folks

because when they have to get some stuff done, they get it done. Yeah. See it with a three gorgeous dam in the Yangtze River, dude. They're just this thing, it looks like four carnival cruise ships lined across the river. So yeah, check out the California dam. We're making big moves in America. The Colorado River runs through, right? And it's been dammed up, I think, in three, three or four spots.

This will be like the fifth. But there's a great book, The Emerald Mile, which talks about in 1983, there was so much snow in the mountains that there was insane flooding along the Colorado and it overflowed the Glen Canyon Dam. They like took over the dam. So they had to, like, they knew that water was just going to be coming down all summer off the snow melt. It's wet. So they knew it was going to rise above. their threshold. So they got like literally plywood, like four foot plywood that they reinforced with

steel rebar. They put that at the top. Then it hit that threshold. They had these excess ports along the sides that they had to open up and the water was so strong flowing through there that when they, that at the end of the season when it was done, they looked in and chunks of concrete had been blown out. So it went down like 40 feet from the original tunnels that they had drilled for the excess. But all of this, like this book is about the fastest, the fastest Dory run. Dory's those wooden rowboats. The fastest Dory.

I'll learn something today. There you go. It's the fastest Dory run on the Colorado River between these two dams, the Glen Caney Dam. They go down the river. So yeah, yeah, they go Dan. And because it had been raging, these guys did it.

It was like in a day, less than a day. They made this trip. And the previous record was like three days. Hey, Chris, get on a Dory boat. Exactly. I think you're a man of the river. Okay. Go to the Dore.

Go to the Sacramento River where they're making the $4 billion California dam and be the first person to ride the lightning. You know what I'm saying? Up on the set some records. So we just mentioned it's the last day of June here in the United States of America, which means that looming on the horizon in the very near proximity is the 4th of July, which is a holiday that I usually spend in Montana with my family, as you guys know. I'm going to be in Charlottesville here.

We don't really have any big plans on the agenda. There's a lot of smoke in the area, so I think probably a lot of these parties are going to be called off, but they'll probably add more smoke with the fireworks. I hope that Canadian wildfire smoke is gone by then. Yeah, it should be, right? I thought we were going to have a little storm today, and maybe I'd get out for nine holes later,

but I don't see it happening. One thing we definitely will do because we just put up a pickleball net in our driveway read, which is a great fucking hobby. You were telling me about that on a golf course. Pickle ball's great. You know, Kate and I, we don't even know the rules, but we've rallied a bit,

and we've gotten better every time we play. We were getting to like eight or nine hits on the rally. Now we're like 20, 25. Wow. And it's fun. The kid walks around and draws with sidewalk chalk, and it's really the only ball that our fucking dog doesn't chase. Our dog is an absolute horny bastard

for anything that rolls or flies. And the pickle ball doesn't seem to get him rock up. Because it's a plastic. I'm not sure. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. I've seen that there are ridiculous rules.

Like if you do a pickleball tournament, there are ridiculous rules or even play like in a league or whatever. And Bo can tell us more. But there are ridiculous rules where like your racket can't come within a couple of inches of the ground and you can't like you have to. It's like tennis is very rule based. Pickle ball is like double that. Wow. Says the guy who plays golf. Yeah.

I wonder why that is. Well, the thing about golf is there's not many rules. So they expect you to just follow the simple rules. You know what I mean? Golf feels like the rules are kind of complicated. Like in terms of relief. There's a lot of unwritten rules. Like when do I get relief?

Well, it all depends on the tournament or the weather or the constructive situations. But relief falls under one, you know what I mean? In my opinion. Or it depends on which guys you're playing. Hey, can I move this off this? Right, right. Pickleball is a good July 4th activity because, like, you can't go play golf on July 4th.

You got to be with the family, but pickleball something. You can play golf on July 4th. Not the wrong with setting some fucking. Taylor made bombs down there some j dams down there on a par four you know what I'm saying yeah make some people yeah you make that a American noise one day I actually played this morning one guy had a you know those Nike sumo square head drivers that sound like a car crash so the coolest it I was like respect dude he had a couple bombs and it was just like yeah that guy is just breaking the the sound

yeah with those yeah so yeah I mean what do you guys have plan for the fourth not I'm not going crazy crazy, our softball buddy Tom offered a float. I might join him on the river float. I know you're not a big river guy. I see all the fucking activities that our friend group wants to do is just float on a river and drink beer. I'm like psychedelics.

I can't just be doing this every fucking, guys. I mean. Where's the lake? We need the motorboat on the lake. I got to be present. Well, the lake's great because you can fucking walk to the house from the dock. Right, right. I'm on a river with you shitheads for however goddamn long.

And the logistics of a float is like, Like, I assume you park somewhere, you take your canoe off of your roof, you put it in a river, then God floats you down the river fucking three miles. You've probably had a dozen beers. And by the time you get to shore, which one of you fucking drunk assholes is going to say, we didn't even move the car down. Johnny is not here yet. Or, you know, I lost my phone in a river.

Or Nate got bit by a snake. You know what I mean? Like all these things can happen on a river. There's a lot that can go wrong. None of that can happen on my computer. You're not wrong. We have had a couple times where you show up to the endpoint, and you're like, oh, we might have to wait a little bit

until we're good to drive. No. Not cool with that. Yeah, the hardest part is doing the shuttle, but then you're on the river, and it's not quite three miles. It's like 14. 14 miles? Yeah, baby.

So now I have like three or four times more, less interest in floating. Well, we could go like three miles. We could go one mile if that flips your interest the other way. Look, if I have free time and I get to be out of the house, you can find me on the golf court. Which, by the way, we didn't get to recap this. And I want to quickly recap this even further. We're going to continue to make some golf content. Yeah, yeah.

We hear you. You guys should actually do the invitational. I know we were tweeted about it. The green light invitation. You should invite some other media members that have some football shows and have a little golf tournament. Yes, we can have a little golf tournament. I'd also like to have a golf tournament amongst our fans and our listeners, our haters, our lovers, all that kind of thing. Yeah.

It would be fun to get a municipal tournament. Maybe Meadow Creek, we can contact them. But if you're into the golf content, stick around, follow us on all platforms there, as usual. Every Wednesday morning we're playing. Every Wednesday morning, and we're going to start filming a couple holes. Yep. I would say. Yeah, and maybe one day we'll have to give each other strokes, but hopefully we both, we both. You want to give me a stroke.

No, you give me a stroke. Two-handed? Yeah, yeah. Double-handed. Well, I mean, we could, at the same time. Well, that's all my most wanted list. Which is a great segue into our most wanted list. So there's things that you most want to do during the summer, right?

There's, you know, Rita's ice for you, Jersey Shore people. You Kelsey's. You know, you can go crazy wherever you are. You can go get a pokey bowl if you're in. Laguna Beach, you can go to the Bear Flag Fish Company. Shout out to Bear Flag. This is not an ad, but I will say, fabulous stuff. Keep it up down there with the fresh fish. But for me, a lot of it, again, revolves around golf. And I'm going to go with my most wanted list. Number one on my most wanted list is being on the golf course with the boys. And, you know, during the summer,

it's fucking hot. And golf in the summer can be tough and a test of mental toughness. But some of these golf courses have those giant fans next to the green and if you stand by it it's like a dual positive you can do the Darth Vader voice into the fan and you can pull your shirt you can do the move where you pull your shirt up and your tities are out and the fans blowing

on your wet shirt and your tities in a really non-sexual but just relieving way that's number one on my most wanted list number two for my summertime most wanted list things I desire most about the summer being in the lawn at like 11 p.m.

because there's still light outside. And obviously we're in Montana during the summer and the sun stays out, until ungodly hours. And yeah, you can be outside. 11 o'clock, it might be two hour to light, too early an hour to light the campfire. You know what I'm saying?

But that's the move is sitting on the, because you can be out X amount of, like all the way out until it's almost midnight. You know, you're out there. And then the fire comes and there's still light in the air. Yeah. It's just such a good vibe. Highest of vibes.

And then number three, when the sun finally does set and it gets dark and there's zero light pollution like there always is in Montana, you can see those stars. You can see why they call it big sky. And if you want to sit next to a big campfire,

great. I'll join you. You know, I'll pull up a chair. But if you want to just sit out there and look up, wow. You can see some shooting stars. You can see

you know, it gets so dark that it becomes bright outside. You know what I'm saying? It's like if you have kids and you rock your baby to sleep, when you first shut the light off and sit in your chair and rock the baby, it's pitch black in the room. The three minutes in, you can see every contour on your child's face. You get an idea of where the ottoman is, where the door is. The same thing.

When God shuts the lights out in Montana, he turns the lights on, essentially. That's my most wanted list. I hope you enjoyed it. No, that's good. Matt, what is yours? Do you have a most wanted list? Oh, yeah. Other than just getting, just getting ass all the time.

Are ours, where are ours set? Are we set in Montana? Wherever, dude. Summertime. Whatever your summer is. I'll tell you where my first one is set. It's set at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. I'd like to be making a deep run into a tournament,

sweating through the last couple of final tables. That would be awesome. Hell yeah. I didn't know you were a big poker player. He talks about it. He might go this year. Are you playing in the past and have done... You totally come off as that, now that you say that.

Yeah, it's a lot of fun, good competitive outlet. But obviously a lot can go wrong, but if it's the, what do we most want to be getting lucky the whole time? Matt was telling me... You got a bracelet? I do not. But that's what you would get. That's the dream, yeah.

Matt was telling me that these tournaments, like, he, like just some random Joe Blow would want to enter, could be paired up with like the defending champion on the first table, right? Yeah, that's how it's different than like every other sport where, you know, like if you line up against Aaron Donald as a normal human, you're just going to get destroyed every single time. And that would also never happen. But in poker, like, if the random draw happens and you're next to Phil Ivy or Daniel Neganue, like that's who you're playing with.

Which is wild because that's, I feel like that's one of the few sports. That's who you're playing against. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And you have a chance to beat them. And poker is an equalizer in any, like, given instance, as long as you don't play afraid, like, you have a chance. When Michael Block was with Rory.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was not quite the same because it's not poker, but it's like you don't choose who you play with. Like, they choose. Right. Yeah. One of my other most wanted things would be going to King's Dominion

with my nieces and nephews. Do that every summer. Hit the roller coasters. Love roller coasters on a summer day, like a summer Monday when there's nobody there. Oh, do you go and like, do you get the passes and stuff so you can go? Usually you'll just go once per summer. Got it. Yeah, it's tough to make it out there.

What's your favorite ride there? At King's Dominion, my favorite ride is the Anaconda. Anaconda is a classic. Definitely like that one. And then last one, last one, drinking a beer at the ballpark, like a baseball game, a night game. during the summer with some buddies or a lady friend just having a nice cold one you can see the bugs flying under the musco lights yep hear the crack of the bat oh the crack of the bat the smell of the fucking fresh cut grass there's a league around here it's called the valley baseball league and charlotteswell

has a team charltsville tom socks and pays chas it is a blast to go out there because the lights the lights are right on the field but it's dark everywhere else and uh you can definitely sneak a sock soda around they will is that question is that the adult league or is that the collegiate No, that's a collegiate. So, like, all these dudes play in college. That was the league I was going to play in, the Valley League. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The Cape when I was playing, when I was a baseball player.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's where I was going to end up playing. I played in the RCBL, the Rockingham County Baseball League. And that's the one with- which is fabulous. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the one with, like, adults and former players. And they are Charlottesville team now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I think that if, I think I may get back into baseball a little bit. Softball's fun, but there's something about pitching. There's something about hitting a ball that's traveling quickly. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, Charlottesville Tom Cossacks. Tom Cocks. Yeah, yeah, Charlesville, Tom Cocks. Tom Cats.

It's sick if you did some, like, real training and tried to see what type of velocity you could get on that pitch again. I have to get Tommy John and I have to get my shoulder down. So, like I can throw, but I'm not going to be throwing hard. Okay. I can play first base like I do in softball, but it would be fun to bat. Be cool to see if you could still put any movement on the ball to no matter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. First, I'm with you.

I'm the same boat golf. I can play. I can play with people. I can play with you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I can play with anybody. I can play by myself. You bring a speaker, play a little music, but it is the move. Chase a little white golf ball. Kind of music. We played a little soundtrack the other day, right? We did. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Great soundtrack. Tarantino. And then two, I am deviating. I'm going on the river, 100%. The other night, our softball teammate Rob and I camped out on the James. We floated a little wave. found a spot, camped, had the dog. We each had our own tent. It's pretty cozy. Sure you did. Yeah. No, it was actually so cold.

We had to huddle together for warmth. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah. And I demanded a little spoon as usual. Number three, Sugar Hollow. If I can go up in a Sugar Hollow, I can do a run. I can do, there's a shitload of swimming holes. You've been to Blue Hole, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, jump out of the rock. Blue Hole's great. I used to rip swing into that thing. Yeah, it was great until the emergency. medical staff of the Charlottesville, greater Charlottesville, El Marla area, cut that tree down smartly because too many people got injured up there.

But even that place is great. If you go up to the right, there's a great waterfall. That is that's number three. That's my most wanted. So listeners at home, what's your city, town, municipalities, version of Blue Hole? What's your version of?

Or what's your most wanted list? Let's go in the comments. We want to put your most wanted list, but also give us some dots on the map. that we can maybe log into our Apple Maps and take a trip to one day. And I want to go back to Fourth of July for a second. You're asking us what we were doing. Like I'm planning on going to the fireworks show.

Every year I see lots of people get injured from fireworks. I know I talked to like an ER doctor one time that said that's the worst night of the year to be an ER doctor is the 4th of July. Fireworks, where do you stand overrated or underrated? I think they're, honestly, I think they're underrated. I don't think they are rated enough. are so much fun. They're so freaking

cool. If you get some fireworks from like a legit place, you go from here in Virginia, we get them from North Carolina allegedly. It is a blast and a half when you just launch them. You got to do it right. You don't want to, you don't want a you know, JPP situation. But you want to launch some

freaking bombs that go over in the air. Roman candles, again, you do it correctly. You don't you don't do it after too many drinks. But Roman candles, you can get them skip off the water. If you really want to have some fun, maybe have some canoe battles with Roman candles, just again safely. Fireworks are cool.

I would say they're underrated, but I would also say that it really pisses me off when people are like, things get burned down on accident. Like people getting hurt, it's like you play stupid games, you play stupid projects. That's what happens. But also on the other side of that, it's like there's forests that burn down because of fireworks and there's shit like that. saying ban fireworks. I'm saying like let's have a little bit more cooth when we're lighten just be smart. Yeah, yeah. I do know that in Montana, we're right next to a national forest. We're on reservation. So the tribal, there's like tribal, uh, oversight on the forest and fires and who's putting out fires and all that stuff. And I believe that in Montana, they get kickbacks

when they're, if there's a fire that destroys a bunch of stuff, they're going to get money from the government for that. I think a couple of years ago there was a big fire in Montana. Montana that timed up in July. I think it was like right before the fourth. And one of the local, like the guy who was in charge with the tribe was lighting these fires. He had his wife light fires and like, they got out of control. Jeez. But yeah, I don't know why.

Yeah, fireworks. Fireworks underrated. They're really loud. When you have a baby, you're going to fucking hate fireworks. If you've been to a war, I would imagine that fireworks are really tough. Yeah, I think overrated. Dogs hate them. Yeah.

Dogs, poor dogs. And that's one thing you see on Twitter is people, like, especially on the Fourth of July, if you go on Twitter, people are talking about like, you know, I'm having that talk with my dog right now. Yeah. It's a long night. Yeah, yeah. And that's the truth, man.

I feel for dogs. I feel for vets. I feel for Mother Earth. Yeah, the coolest part, like, what we did as, as kid, before we went to that fireworks show downtown, is my dad would always get about a bunch of the, um, is my dad would always get about a bunch those like driveway fireworks, you know, sparklers and the little turtles that moved and like shit out, you know, little lava. Those, that's the cool. Yeah, yeah, exactly. You can't, you can't burn down forest fires with that. Your dogs are just more interested in those. They're not going to get too

scared. Yeah, yeah, they're like, ooh. They whistle. The, what are the pop rockets or whatever? Dude, if you, if you want to have some fun, put them under a little mat or whatever, the welcome mat, like put a lot and then get somebody to walk on the welcome mat. That's a good, scare no it's a blast and a half that's that's fucking evil um yeah fireworks howie little howie always is our firework guy oh yeah always the one that lights the firework yeah yeah um like he'll go missing like an hour will go by and you'll be at the fire just drinking beer and then all of a sudden you hear beer how he's on the dock with like all the fireworks lined off and he lights him left to right yeah yeah he's got a good thank god shout to everybody's fire starter yeah it's a safe one

Everyone has to have, you know, one guy who runs back. Designated lighter. That's what's going on in our neck of the woods. The last thing, I mean, going back to the wildfires around here, I know Nate had a pretty geeky tweet. Nate has been wearing me out. He just fucking chirps me in the group chat. He's active in that group chat.

On Twitter. Everywhere Nate can take shots, he's taking shots. I'm standing on my pulpit today. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Standing on my pulpit. and I'm taking a couple shots. Nate, you had a stupid fucking tweet the other day. And the fact that we got to scroll through dozens of Nate tweets

just makes me want to vomit at the end. That was a good one. Air so bad. It's the perfect time to see if this is bullshit. And he's got two cans of clean oxygen, like that he seemingly bought from CVS. There's this one up here. 2% milk means it's 2% and the rest is the rest of the percent.

The other 98 is water, right? Oh, my God. We were talking about this on. AMP the other day. But yeah, this is a real Nate Collins tweet. Which brings up a good point. I'm confused at what half and half is. Yeah, I don't know why they're all called this, but like whole milk is like 3.25% and then half and half is like more like 10%. It's just measuring how much milk fat is in it. Yeah. The blubber. Whole milk all day.

Yeah, but Nate definitely thought that. So Nate had a few. 2% milk is only 2% milk. That's crazy to me. That's crazy. powder, like some sort of powder. Nate tweeted the other day, why we still getting toxic air from Canada? Wind, my guy. Okay.

So we'll close out here on a couple buddies of mine who had a big golf outing as well. The match. It was in Vegas? Where was it? The win. Yeah, yeah. Is that the win?

It was at the win. It was. It was. And they won. Right? Yeah. Patrick and Travis won again. They smoked him.

And everything. Patrick going with the standard Adidas fit, but he's got his logo on the shirt. I love Patrick's logo. Yeah, is that a... What do you think? It's like a Spartan Mac. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Super cool logo, because he's a warrior. He is a warrior. He is a warrior. And Travis's outfit, I mean... Was the talk of the day? The butter cream, kooji, kooji, kuchi? Either of them. It looks like a kooji vest of sorts,

but it's Nike, but it's got that... twisted, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He looks sweet, and a lot of people were talking about the fashion. So then I googled a picture of the group picture, and Clay Thompson looks like a 15-year-old who's at a golf game, by the way.

Steph looks, Steph looks the part. I heard stuff was a plus one handicap, which means that he's won better than scratch. Yeah. And it just doesn't show. It just doesn't show to me that he's a plus one. If you're a plus one, you should be shooting par. I understand there's a lot of people there in front of you,

but watching and on TV, but you're Steph Curry. You know what I mean? This should be in your wheelhouse. And you see Pat making big putts and making good shots. So like we have Shohei Otani, right? He's like the greatest player of all time, probably in baseball. He can do these two things at once where he can pitch and hit. Maybe I'm naive about golf.

But I would think at some point there'd be somebody who's such a freak athlete who's like a quarterback or like a point guard in the NBA that can go just like win a PGA tournament. Yeah. And do both. I just think the margins are so small that like not small. What am I trying to say? I'm trying to say that at the top,

the very elite, the bottom elite player and the top elite player, there's such a gap. But at the same time, like, they're so far from really good players. Like the pros, the guys on tour are so, so, so far. It's like when you think about the universe, you say, well, the moon's, you know, the moon, you know, shoot for the stars, you'll land at the moon.

Yeah. Shoot for pro, you'll land at club champion maybe. But I just don't think it could happen. Gotcha. I just don't. That'd be cool, though. I would love that. I mean, it would take a Dion Sanders-like talent in that field to be able to do that.

And in the match, we had Vaughn Miller running into Patrick Mahomes' golf cart. I don't know if you saw that, but he just rear-ended the, the, the, I got a funny story about rear-ending Patrick Mahomes in a golf club as well. This is the first. So I had just signed with the Chiefs, and it was me and Pat and Trav and Mike Remmers and a bunch of guys out there playing. Chad Henny is out there, and we're in Arizona, and we're driving, I'm driving my cart by myself, and Patrick and Travis are on the cart path.

We're going down the fairway. We're going to get our balls, and Pat hit it a mile. and I guess something fell out of their cart so they braked in front of me while I was looking down texting and I slammed to my cart I just met these guys I slammed my cart

I rear-ended Pat and Travis and they both rolled out immediately clutching their necks and I was like they comedy duo they already had it down they already knew the reaction without even discussing it

they just fucking rolled out grabbing their necks and then I was like oh my God dude and Patrick was like Like, we're good, we're good, relax. Like, chill out, we're good. I mean, I saw the chief's future crumble right in front of me. And it was, yeah, that was a bad, that was a bad first deck.

Did you also see Clay Thompson knocked the ball off a patron's head? No, I didn't see that. Bombed it dead right, crushed some dude's head and took out even further right. It's always nice to have people out there because the ball doesn't just fly into the woods. Right. Yeah, yeah. Or you'd be like Jordan's beast and have it. How much would you be willing to pay a guy?

a spot for you when you played. Would you pay them five bucks a hole? I don't know. Honestly, I think. To go find your, to go be a fork addie? Honestly, I enjoy. If I beat one of the woods, I kind of, it's a challenge.

I want to go find it. I don't want someone else to take that enjoyment. I want the challenge to be hitting the ball after somebody else finds it. Because if I hit it over the hill and it goes into the, like the rough, I want, I want to have eyes on. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

I'm willing to pay for that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's a good point. I would do a couple bucks a hole, I think. You would bump it up? I do five bucks a hole for somebody to find my ball every time. Right, right. And like, you know, maybe pop it up a little bit.

Maybe 10 to the ball on the green, pick it up, clean it. Clean it, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like that stuff is important. That's stuff that sometimes quality of life. It would be nice. You don't have to do that. I did this morning when I played, I put one into the trees and I hit from the lie. And I was trying to, I was trying to, I had a little window and I crushed a pine tree.

and then I picked my, I played, finished, picked my ball up from the green, and it was a little sticky, and there was some pine sap from the tree because the ball hit so hard. So you're not wrong. I should have used a little. Maybe a guy to, like, wipe your grips down. Yeah. Do you ever notice that the pros after every time they hit, they take the towel to their grips? I never do that.

How many towels do you think the pros have to eat? Like pro golfers? So many damn towels. A lot of towels. So many, man. Yeah. All right. Well, this was fun.

This was a blast and a half. like an hour an hour yeah it was pretty clean that was fun guys thanks for doing the first ever episode made it easy on me yeah you word we'll do it again I gotta piss so we'll talk to you guys next time
