Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey My Mom's Basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. While we were recording our Stranger Things recap, it was revealed that I had never seen Back to the Future. Not one, not two, not three. Dude, not a fraud, son of a bitch. None of them. So I went, I watched them. Was it like a, was it eating at you? Was it like a lie that you were hiding? A little bit, yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Or did you just not even understand the importance? No, I understood. It was eating at me a little bit. Yeah, it was definitely eating at me. I mean, there's definitely been things over the years blog-wise that I was afraid to admit. I mean, that's kind of why we did this first podcast. I mean, I can't say that I played Magic Cards because I don't know if people are going to listen to what I say about football anymore. I mean, to be the nerd guy and not have seen Marty McFly.
Starting point is 00:00:49 And there's a few things like that. I haven't seen T2 still, which I definitely should see. Oh, god damn. I know that. Yeah. I've never watched Star Trek the series. It's almost like, did you even know that time travel was possible if you didn't watch Back to the Future and T2? Well, when they literally said the Back to the Future rules in Endgame,
Starting point is 00:01:06 you must have been like, oh, I don't know what that means. I just got to catch up. Do you have a new appreciation for Endgame now? I don't know if I do, but when we did our Endgame commentary, which we put out last week, I did make a point to be like, oh, Back to the Future joke that I now understand, which is nice. It's nice to be in on the jokes, you know? And the Back to the Future rules are just like the general time travel rules. That you can't, like, if you affect something in the past, it is nice. It's nice to be in on the jokes, you know? And the Back to the Future rules are just, like, the general time
Starting point is 00:01:25 travel rules. That you can't, like, if you affect something in the past, it does matter. And that's what Endgame flips. Yeah. I, but even, like, in Stranger Things, at one point, they do, like, the Back to the Future chimes noise, the da-na-na-na-na-na, da-na-na-na, and it's like, I knew that right away. The little things, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:41 It struck into my head as, like, I remember, and it was a time, whatever was going on in Stranger Things at the time was like kind of Back to the Future-esque. So it all kind of made sense and enhanced the moment a little bit. What are the brothers' names? Oh, Duffer. Is it Duffer Brothers? Yeah. I mean like they didn't just borrow things.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Even the first one. Oh, totally. When the monster was coming through the wall, I was like this is Nightmare on Elm Street. Exactly. This wasn't an homage to it. We're just going to do the same thing. We talked about that. Watching the movies did give me a new appreciation for Stranger Things, definitely.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Because at the end of the first one, spoilers if you haven't seen Back to the Future, which if you haven't seen it by now. What kind of asshole? I mean, come on. What kind of asshole wouldn't do that? But when he pulls the note out, and it's the note that saved him against the terror attack and i'm like oh stranger things did an entire season three with the note with the note where the note was in the pocket that everyone forgot about and i'm like oh my god like the duffer brothers putting the little things like that in there even i mean we'll get we'll get into all the details that you like but when doc has the note all taped together and
Starting point is 00:02:41 everything it's just it's amazing it's good stuff let's let's get right into it let's talk back to the future so i hadn't seen back to the future what did you how did you you went to your apartment and you sat down by yourself and you watched it how did it go down by myself did you like get like snacks ahead of time were you like i did have snacks it was a sit down experience like i gotta do this i had like the right environment you know like i was like put the computer down like i'm not checking my twitter and watching this i said i'm just gonna watch this and i'll take notes so i could remember because now is a week or two ago that i actually watched it right how about this what how old do you think you were when you first i was just gonna say i would love to have seen it in theaters because movie like that but how about this like he sits down we've highly recommended we make it
Starting point is 00:03:18 fun you have to go see it that first scene is fucking weird with all the clocks super weird like i must you must have been, what the fuck is going on? The dog food, right? That's like the whole thing is the – The clock thing is the – yeah. And then he immediately, though, gets me on his side by plugging in an electric guitar and blowing out the speakers. I'm like, oh, Marty McFly's a rocker.
Starting point is 00:03:36 So you know what's so funny about that? We were in I think maybe this studio or the old studio, and I was fucking around with some chords. And this was like six months ago maybe yeah and i touched like a plug like a jack to like the metal and it went like and i was like and immediately back to the future passed my head and i just turned to him and i go what does that make you think of and he was like back to the future martin fly when he plays the guitar and i was like yes and it was like, Back to the Future, Marty McFly, when he plays the guitar. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:04:06 yes! And it was like just a fucking noise that both of us, I was like, I don't know why Back to the Future is coming to my mind right now when I just hear
Starting point is 00:04:13 like an electrical noise. That's all it was. It was just like static feedback in both of us. And I thought to think, like I bet you he'd think of this too
Starting point is 00:04:21 and he did. The feedback is somehow like subtly in the same key as it was in Back to the Future, and your ear picked up on it. It was perfect. Literally, the first note I wrote is just, Marty McFly is metal as fuck. He is all...
Starting point is 00:04:33 He is actually... I thought he was going to be a nerd going into it. I thought he was going to be a complete nerd. But in a way, yes. He's kind of very current. We talked about how nerd culture became cool now. Yes. current like what we talked about how nerd culture became cool now yes he is like 2019 even though it was like 1989 because it was like he's small and you know he still gets bullied he's not the
Starting point is 00:04:51 bully he's not the biff tannin but he also is on the skateboard he's got the hot girlfriend he's got the cool car he's a super little bit of both yeah that was like the second thing i wrote down did you notice how she just flipped in the second movie yeah it went from went from Elizabeth Shue – or it became Elizabeth Shue, right? Yeah. They were like, all right, we got a new Hollywood it girl. Yeah, they were both about – also was every fictional girlfriend I ever had was based on her. And probably named Jennifer. Every girlfriend I ever had was Jennifer.
Starting point is 00:05:18 That makes sense. As I was a kid. Like every time I was playing imagination. And you're talking about like the Marty McFly being modern. I thought this whole movie felt very modern to me. It's one of those when people say it holds up, but it legit holds up. And more than anything for it was the comedy in it.
Starting point is 00:05:35 This movie is so funny. Back to the Future is a hysterical movie. I wrote down a bunch of like, you're going to see some serious shit. That's laugh out loud funny. You're going to see some serious shit right now. That is a funny line. I wrote down that. I wrote down when he of like, you're going to see some serious shit. That's laugh out loud funny. You're going to see some serious shit right now. Like that is a funny line. I wrote down that.
Starting point is 00:05:48 I wrote down when he's like, who the hell is John F. Kennedy? Marty McFly's grandpa? One of the funniest characters I've ever seen in a movie. All of those little hits. Like who the? John F. Kennedy or whatever? Or when I think he's making fun of the kids sweeping. He's like, I'm going to be mayor one day.
Starting point is 00:06:02 And he's like, mayor, mayor. I like the sound of that. I mean, it's – Like every time travel joke, they somehow hit the ones – like the easiest ones to predict. But they all land. They're all funny. It's so good. And then –
Starting point is 00:06:15 The TV. Like even the TV. Like who the hell has two televisions? He's joking. Nobody has two TVs. He calls it a rerun. What's a rerun? Yeah. I wrote down complete and total domination, embarrassing display from both McFly's because this was the moment where I felt real bad for Marty.
Starting point is 00:06:31 His dad is the worst. George? Just the worst. Well. And we're going to get to it, but, like, I'm not okay with the resolution that this movie has because it's really bizarre. There's a lot of this movie that's bizarre, though. So here, we're talking about all the things i love what you fucking say when trent i made trent watch star wars probably like a year or two ago all of the movies he'd never seen any of them when he
Starting point is 00:06:52 watched a new hope the first one that was ever released his main feedback from it was that was really weird and i can't believe it worked he's like and then by the time he watched the second one he's like empire strikes back that was awesome but's like, they had a talking dog. They had this. The plot device to get Marty into the past is a terrorist attack in a parking lot on Doc Brown. Have you ever seen that meme that shows him and he goes, they found me. I don't know how, but they found me. And they cut to a wide shot and his band just says, like, Doc Brown Enterprises. How would they ever find you driving around a billboard? Yeah, what are they?
Starting point is 00:07:28 The Lebanese? Is that who they are? The Libyans. The Libyans. I mean, yeah, the plutonium. You can't fuck around with these Libyans, you know? It just came off as incredibly bizarre to me. In the middle of fucking...
Starting point is 00:07:39 In the middle of a little suburban town. I was checking off everything I knew from pop culture. So they show the clock tower, save the clock tower. I'm like'm like i know the clock tower they do the 1.21 gigawatts gigawatts whatever it is i'm like yep i remember that from pop culture they do all of these things and then all of a sudden he's like they found me the libyans and i'm like what the fuck is happening we need a prequel we need to know what happened oh my god brown doing it really is crazy prequel that's a great idea doc brown is is a young man? That is. And now you guys are going to hate me saying this, but as
Starting point is 00:08:08 I'm watching, I'm thinking, we're in the modern age of reboots, remakes, all this. And I'm thinking if they rebooted Back to the Future, you know who I think would be a phenomenal Doc Brown? And this is going to be maybe bizarre, but my pick is Bill Burr. I think Bill Burr would be an incredible Doc Brown
Starting point is 00:08:24 against Tom Holland's Marty McFly. And I say Tom Holland because another thing I noticed right away is that every on-screen Spider-Man I've ever seen in my life has been based on Marty McFly. Yeah, it's very Marty McFly. I watched that movie and I was like, this is Peter Parker. Like he's a nerd, but he's kind of cool. He's got Mary Jane. I'll tell you, the cute girlfriend. Tom Holland is the first suggestion I ever heard because I've always been like, don't touch it, don't touch it.
Starting point is 00:08:46 I still think don't touch it. There was one time Justin Bieber was rumored. Oh, no. And I was like, I will attack the studio. I will burn the studio to the ground while it's filming. I won't let it happen. Tom Holland and Marty McFly would be not bad. Tom Holland and Bill Burr?
Starting point is 00:09:00 Come on. Tell me what you think. That movie sounds awesome. Yes. I think I'd like more of a prequel just so you don't mess with the real shit just like how did Doc Brown become how did he fucking figure out time travel bro
Starting point is 00:09:11 how the fuck did he become friends with his high school I mean that's my favorite running joke of like maybe all time is like Doc it's the creepiest relationship of all time it is but at the same time it's the Peter Parker relationship that he has with Dr. Octopus before he turns into Dr. Octopus. Like, he's just the craziest.
Starting point is 00:09:27 It's like a mentor thing. Peter's like an intern for him or something. Science thing and all that shit, yeah. But we'll get into why I don't think they could remake this in just a second when we get more into the plot. But it was the most 80s movie of all time. I just kept writing down, like, this is the most – everything they cut to is, like, this is, like, literally the encapsulation. This should be, like, the movie they show when they're, like, this was the 1980 the encapsulation this should be like the movie they show when they're like
Starting point is 00:09:45 this was the 1980s I would imagine when they're in the 50s it's very like spot on I feel like the attention to detail with the clothing and then what they make up
Starting point is 00:09:53 for the future like what the clothing is like and what food is like and it's funny when you like start to live out that stuff and it's like
Starting point is 00:10:01 oh I'm not even close and it was weird for me watching this past where they're going to in the future like I knew in the second one that they go to the actual future yeah and i watched both these movies and i was like this is now 2015 like this is dated bro yeah you got to make your future do it george lucas like special edit and be like this is us going to 3015 i know they're like not even close remember when uh because what is it the cubs finally win yeah and yeah aren't they only a few years off?
Starting point is 00:10:26 They are. They were close. They were like a year or two off, which is funny because I designed a Back to the Future 2 shirt for Barstool back in the Cubs win. I did that whole font. It didn't get used, but that was when I was in high school and I was just like, yeah, I'm thinking Back to the Future 2. It's because of making fucking shirts.
Starting point is 00:10:41 The Cubs beat Miami. The Marlins weren't even called. Now the Miami Marlins is in it. That is crazy. I didn't like Doc Brown putting the dog in the DeLorean at first. I'll say that right away. Doc Brown has done a few things. Einstein had a rough go of it when you think about it.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Not the best dog owner. Doc Brown does a few things. Even in the second one, he immediately drugs Jennifer, and he's like, I was just like, Doc Brown. I mean, yeah, he's a creepy guy. He's hanging out with young kids and he's doing questionable things, questionable practices. He's got Libyans chasing after him. A little creepy. I love Biff. I mean, I hate Biff, but I love to hate him.
Starting point is 00:11:16 He's perfect. When you say like this movie is so 80s, when you say that now, it basically means like you're making a movie like Back to the Future. You know what I mean? And when you say that now it basically means like you're making a movie like back to the future you know what i mean and when you say this guy is a great bully you're making a character like biff they like set the standard for things like bullies heroes girls uh like uh you know time period peace type stuff like i i think at least uh you know i'm sure maybe something in the 70s and 60s or
Starting point is 00:11:42 movies that did it well as also also but that is like the gold standard to refer to as far as time travel types of characters types of scenery types of movies they set the standard everything the special effects are like all funny to look back on some of them when the delorean goes and then you can see like they're standing on a green screen and the fire goes in between their legs but others you look at and like the ending when the DeLorean, where we're going, we don't need roads, comes up and it's like, whoa, this is pretty good. That's pretty damn good.
Starting point is 00:12:11 And maybe the technical CGI, but just the thought of it leaves the trail of fire is so sick. And the way, and it pops and explodes. Maybe they didn't have the perfect technology, but the thought of that's how time travel would work. There's a million ways you could do it.
Starting point is 00:12:27 You could do it like in Star Trek when you get beamed up and you become particles and shit. The way they did the bursting in and bursting out is how I think you would travel through time. It's like a metal time machine. The generic time machine in cartoons and stuff like that is I feel like you get into a hatch and then boom, you get out of the hatch and you're in. But they're like, we're getting in a sick car and we're driving as fast as we can. DeLorean is the coolest fucking car ever. And the weirdest car in actual history.
Starting point is 00:12:54 There's like 25 made total. It was the dumbest, most impractical car ever. And now people talk about it like Batmobile, DeLorean. It's all in the same brand. If I ever get obnoxiously rich, the first thing I'm doing is buying a DeLorean. That would be sweet. I feel like the first version I read somewhere was that it was a refrigerator.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Oh my gosh. The time machine. Oh wait, someone told me that. Someone told me that and they said they were afraid kids would close themselves in and then you can't get out. I mean, turning into a fucking awesome car is a good thing. Whoever said that idea, they have to be like, yeah, listen to Jim. Yes. If you have a terrible idea, maybe just play it out because maybe just that one part will be terrible and everything else will be good and somebody else will be like, why don't we just make it a cool car?
Starting point is 00:13:36 Yeah. Why don't we just make it a car? Doors. Something that was stunning to me is in the first 30 minutes of this movie, you get three shits, a bitch, and a bastard. First 30 minutes. This is a PG movie in 1984 or 5. of this movie, you get three shits, a bitch, and a bastard. First 30 minutes. This is a PG movie in 1984 or 5. Something like that, 1985. Yeah, I think it's basically 1985.
Starting point is 00:13:51 I would never have guessed that. If you asked me how much swearing is it all. Well, back then there was no PG-13. It was all or nothing kind of. Oh, yeah, because it's not R for sure. I mean, it would be a perfect PG-13. Definitely, yeah. And then we go back into the past, not back to the future yet, and I wrote down immediately, Biff been giving McFly the business since 55.
Starting point is 00:14:12 That's horrible. I mean – That's really horrible. Just generationally – and we'll get into it when we talk about 2, but Biff was like maybe my favorite little aspect of 2, how there's an alternate Biff for every – Yes. Every single thing changes them drastically if you have to describe in one like sentence the continuity and like the attention to detail of back to the future it's manure if i say the word manure it's like they
Starting point is 00:14:38 found a way to weave that into every time period it's unbelievable the way that they like replicate each part of biff and each thing of but and it makes so much more sense in like the old west yeah in the 50s like there's just and i still haven't seen manure trucks yeah there's i mean what the fuck is that like why that made no goddamn sense but it was yeah i mean he got loaded up into his drop top and yeah we told bob like back to the Future 3 is fun. It's certainly not like part of the, what do you guys call it? Like canon? Yes.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Yes. It's the canon. The only thing I'll say is that like the end of 2 is awesome and you need 3. For sure. The end of 2 is pretty cool. And also. As soon as he disappears, they deliver the letter. 2 and 3 at the same time I read, which is pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:15:23 And they called their shot the whole fucking way to drop a movie with to be continued and then drop us a pre a sequel with to be concluded is like we know this is a fucking hit and we're making three and they even did like the the marvel thing which marvel really did the back to the future thing in teasing the wild west thing like midway through uh back to the future too with like a throwaway line like oh yeah doc brown loved like the wild west something. And then they move on from it completely. And knowing they did that for three, I was like, oh wow, that was really smart because people in the theater had to be like, what? We're actually going to The Wild West?
Starting point is 00:15:53 Like at the end of that movie. And they drop Clayton's Ravine very early. And then it changes to Eastwood Ravine, right? Because that ends up being who they think died. Calvin Klein, Clint Eastwood, he calls himself right? Because that ends up being who they think died. Those things too.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Calvin Klein, Clint Eastwood is in the – he calls himself the same way he calls himself Calvin Klein. He calls himself Clint Eastwood. It's – Oh, that's funny. Yeah. He is like – Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:15 This is three. We're talking three. That's what makes sense. Yeah. But he is the coolest attainably cool guy ever. Yeah. It's like – Even like when he gets into – when he like when he gets into when he gets the
Starting point is 00:16:25 hoverboard when he gets the hat when he gets the lace-up shoes like he just like happened to stumble upon those things yeah you know what i mean it wasn't like he was the man yeah no and he you know when he tries to fight biff he's way over overmatched and like that there's something i don't know but i never like as a little kid i was never like boy i could be like marty it's not like he's actually attainable. But I think there was something subconsciously where he kind of is. It's the perfect underdog. He's written as well as Rocky's written.
Starting point is 00:16:52 The underdog thing in two completely different characters. It's a sci-fi Rocky. Let's talk about the reason why they can never remake this movie and something that really blew my mind in watching it. The number one thing that blew my mind. I had heard that there were jokes about him and his mom in this movie, and I figured that he would have walked into a party, and he goes, oh, man, that chick's really cute. What's her name?
Starting point is 00:17:14 And someone goes, that's your mom, dude. And he's like, oh, that's creepy. That's it. The entire plot of this movie is that Marty McFly's mom would rather fuck him than her husband. I'll tell you something, Bob. That's the entire plot of the movie. Have you been alive in 2019?
Starting point is 00:17:29 It might be the time to do it. Incest plays, bud. If there's ever a time in history. I get it. It's now. Oh my God. I was stunned by this. Legitimately stunned.
Starting point is 00:17:38 I legit thought it would be like, like I said, like, who's that chick? Doc's like, your mom. And he's like, gross. No. The entire movie. This is the plot of the movie. More so than like a time travel movie. It's a, his mom wants to fuck a movie.
Starting point is 00:17:52 And she's hornier than YP. She is so horny. Hornier than YP. She wants the dick. She wants the Calvin Klein dick. She's not looking for Biff. She doesn't want anybody else. No George McFly. No George McFly. That redhead kid at the end. Laughing on the dance floor.. No George McFly. No George McFly. That redhead kid at the end laughing on the dance floor.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Scram, McFly. She wants to just slobber on her son's dick. But also, you know what's funny? Oh, that was such a gross sentence. That was gross. When he's in his underwear in the dark room. I know. And she's like, what? And the parents are downstairs.
Starting point is 00:18:24 It's like his grandparents are downstairs. Imagine if his grandparents walked in on him and his mom. How about George being a peeping Tom? Like the whole thing about him. But also, everything, all caps,
Starting point is 00:18:33 I am so uncomfortable. Eventually, everything gets flipped and the McFly's are very successful. And Biff is washing their cars. Biff tried to rape her. Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:46 I know. I have that too. It works for her. I have that too. She's like, oh Biff, go back and finish the wax thing or whatever.
Starting point is 00:18:52 It was in the 50s. It was back in the day. That's not rape. That was just like heavy suggesting. That's all it really was. When he's, when they're in the car
Starting point is 00:19:00 up the dress. Insane. All caps. Holy shit. Is Biff actually trying to rape Marty's mom? That's where we're going? And, like, yeah, that's how the story goes. The whole story.
Starting point is 00:19:11 If you're ever, like, how I met your mother, like, tell me how it happened. Well, like, dad was in the tree fucking peeping Tom looking at naked girls. Grandpa hit him with the car. Hits him with the car. He's concussed. Needs to take him in. Florence Nightingale takes over. That's the story of how they get together.
Starting point is 00:19:28 And then the new alternate version is your father saved me from being raped in the parking lot. By who? Oh, like our handyman. The guy we keep around for odds and ends. Uncle Ben. Odd jobs over here. What? Holy shit. I hadn't even thought about that that's
Starting point is 00:19:47 crazy either way he's just like yeah he's still working for us he waxes the car now what he shouldn't get a second chance come on now the i i would say the other thing that uh back to the future did uh and that's just like it it influences everything down to like, KFC radio is the almanac. The sports almanac, like, plot device. I'm surprised you guys don't have one of these on the show. You've got to get one of those almanacs. What is it, Raze? Spence that shit.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Let's go. I mean, that is, you know, what would you do if you could travel back in time? Like, I would place all these bets. Like, it was a trailblazing thought. Like you said, he's like, no betting on games, no whatever. Like, Scott Lang actually says that, which is another reference to Back to the Future. Before we go into, like, the ending of the movie, just two shout-outs that I made. One, the Van Halen-Darth Vader scene is a 10 out of 10 comedic, hysterical scene.
Starting point is 00:20:38 That was, like, maybe my favorite part of the entire movie. I mean, and I'm sure, like, the Walkman was, like, perfect. The Walkman, the whole suities guy, he looks like an astronaut. It was so funny. And Biff, one of Biff's goons just wears 3D glasses. The whole time. The red and blue. All of his goons.
Starting point is 00:20:53 And I loved it. It was that straight out of a comic book. The goons, like the way they walk down this hall and kick George in the ass. Yes. It was such cartoon bullying. It's so great. So great. And who's the principal?
Starting point is 00:21:05 Strickland? Skinner? Skinner. Skinner. Skinner. Right. No, Skinner. So great. And who's the principal? Strickland? Skinner? Skinner. Skinner. Skinner. Right. No, Skinner's from Simpsons, isn't it? Principal Skinner.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Is it Strickland? That sounds right. Somewhere in there. Giving him detentions. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is he in two? Because he's in three. Yeah, no, I think he's in all of them.
Starting point is 00:21:21 He's in two also? I think he was in two. I mean, one in two is like, Jeff D.'Lo asked me, do you like one or two better? That is one three and a half hour movie to me. It's a four hour movie. And it's crazy to me, I read that they added the ending scene on late, like to set up two. Oh, yeah? I read that they didn't film that.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Where he comes from the future, right? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is like, I guess. Where he comes back. They must have screened it, and yeah, they must have have screened it and people were like, that was awesome. And they were like, I guess we're making a sequel. We're on another scene.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Yeah, I do remember that. Kind of the original post-credits scene. Yeah, they just put it on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do remember that the to be continued was not like right from the jump. It was like fairly early on. But by the time – but when it was released, it was on. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:02 It's not like they released it in theaters and added it like a week later. No. Like there was nobody that ever saw a version without it. No, no. Not like the public, I don't think. Yeah, I mean that to me is like – it really is the post-credits scene because it's like, okay, we wrapped up. It's like the big cliffhanger. The music is playing and then they just go right back into it though.
Starting point is 00:22:19 It's like, oh, never mind. Like fire this shit up. Yes. But that's what's sick. This fuck Bob didn't watch it through. Like, if that's me now, if I sat down. But I tried. I tried.
Starting point is 00:22:32 You fell asleep? I was going to fall asleep, so I paused it and was like, I can't fall asleep. Because to me, if I was to watch that now for the first time and that happens, that's like binging a Netflix episode to me. It's like, I can't stop now. I got to keep going. And I did. Immediately I put on two, but then it was like half an hour okay right when like biff stole the delorean and i was like oh shit that's where we're going with this and i was like i'm gonna
Starting point is 00:22:52 pause this i'm gonna watch you know it's funny to think how much total time passes over the course of like the three movies it's like four days a week maybe yeah yeah because he's definitely in 55 for a few days like a few oh yeah a week because he's like i can. A week maybe? Yeah. Because he's definitely in 55 for a few days, like a few things happen. Yeah, a week because he's like, I can hang out for a week. I can do things for a week. Right. And then he comes right back and they go straight to the future. I saw that come up on Reddit recently because someone brought up the John Wick movies.
Starting point is 00:23:18 All take place in the span of about a week. One, two, and three are all about seven days. And they were like, what is the shortest trilogy of movies? And I saw people bring up Back to the Future. It's got to be up there. So the ending of the movie, Biff tries to rape Marty's mom in a stunning scene. Marty's dad actually gets to punch him, which is a very satisfying scene. They're like, oh, it's so good.
Starting point is 00:23:40 The whole way they do it is great. No, asshole. He's like so fucking awkward. Incredible. Chris McGlover, he killed just being like off the charts awkward. It's still so satisfying, though. When he actually hits and knocks him out, it's like, yes! And is that what revitalizes Marty?
Starting point is 00:23:58 When the punch gets thrown, he pops up. That is also, I mean, the hand becoming see-through. Very great. The disappearing picture. The picture is great. You should the the hand becoming see-through very great disappearing picture picture is great you should have a picture too which is half a disappearing that that that i feel like has been used in like other ways where it's like maybe it's not a picture but like something starts to change in the past or the future uh that and the see-through hand which at the time was probably like oh you know what's bad you guys are gonna be like you
Starting point is 00:24:22 motherfucker but like my like main exposure to back to the future and its culture and it's all the jokes in it is family guy did a parody episode of it and like that's where i knew all that shit from was family guy i was like oh this is just like the family guy episode yeah um i loved uh marty mcfly the whitest dude ever taught the blues to a louisiana band entirely African-American. You know that sound you're looking for? Yeah. Listen to this. And the music is – And then he completely shredded too.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Marvin. He's calling Chuck Berry. Chuck Berry. This is your cousin, Marvin. Marvin. Marvin Berry. And you realize that he's talking to Chuck. He's doing the duck walk.
Starting point is 00:24:58 Yeah. The music to me, Johnny B. Good, I have vivid memories of being probably like a fucking five-year-old or a six-year-old, like pretending to be Johnny B. Goode. And Earth Angel is the most romantic song of all time. Earth Angel is absolutely. Earth Angel was my wedding song. Really? It was the first dance of my life.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Wow, that's very nice. I mean, that song is absolutely incredible. And then he fucking shreds. Yeah. And he has that hilarious, like, oh, I guess you guys aren't ready for this yet when he's kicking things over he's like
Starting point is 00:25:29 and he's all sweaty and shit like that yeah he's playing like an amazing Gibson Trini Lopez I've used that like that's there's so many
Starting point is 00:25:38 Back to the Future lines I feel like that I use blogging like if I if I'm ever ahead of the curve or like I guess you guys
Starting point is 00:25:43 weren't ready for that yeah like your kids are gonna love it though like I'm ready for that. Your kids are going to love it though. That movie has influenced things that I don't even realize it's influenced. Now how about this? Is there a racial slur in there? Doesn't one of the guys
Starting point is 00:25:55 when he's like he's talking shit to the band. Yeah he says a couple spooks or something like that. Oh wow. If he says that then there is a racial slur in there. Yeah it's tough. Anyway A couple of spooks or something like that? Oh, wow. If he says that, then there is a racial slur in there. Spook, smoke, and reefer or something like that. Yikes. Yeah, it's tough. Anyway, we get back to where we – back to the present, I guess.
Starting point is 00:26:12 The fucking Libyans come after him again. The Libyans, I don't know what's up with the Libyans. With the rocket launcher. What does he go – does he go back like 10 minutes? Yeah, give yourself a little bit more time, Marty. Half a day. Come on, man. I don't even know if it was ten minutes.
Starting point is 00:26:25 It seemed like he got back there and he was watching himself get attacked. I mean, and thank God the rocket launcher jammed. Otherwise, none of this would happen. You just get blown up by a rocket launcher in the middle of the fucking town. And what we discussed earlier, the note comes into play where Doc gets shot, but he was wearing a bulletproof vest on because of the note that Marty gave him. It's a big happy ending. And they set up two right away.
Starting point is 00:26:47 We're going to the future. We're going back to the future. The taped up – How weird is that like to think that that whole time when he was like setting it up, he knew the whole time. Like he knows he's about to get literally bullets. He knows that he's going to – And also like what if they shoot you in the head, Doc? Right?
Starting point is 00:27:05 Yeah. You know it's changed. What in the head, Doc? Right? Yeah. You know how it's changed. What if the car literally hit a rock? And now it's like, boom. Also like a bulletproof vest for like a full-out machine gun. It's like an AK-47. Like, you know, you probably have a few broken ribs. And they had a rocket launcher on board.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Yeah, they could have just blown your ass up, dude. I think – I mean even – I remember like thinking when I was playing games, like playing imagination again, like imagining things. Like that was my first introduction to a bulb or vest. Right. Like I would pretend that because I would do weird things like the stupidest things much like the audio jack. I – do you know when he runs into the diner and he's looking up his old like his old family yeah and he goes to the phone book and he like flips through it and he like finds it and then rips it out i used to do that with phone books i used to rip pages out of phone yes because again when i'm playing in my
Starting point is 00:27:56 mind i'd be like all right like i gotta find this person like let me look it up and i would do it exactly like he did it and rip it out like everything i did my girlfriend was jennifer and everything was mart McFly. In my head, I had a hoverboard. Were you ever Marty for Halloween? No, you were, right? Yeah. You did a pretty good Marty.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Because my wife, probably girlfriend at the time, just found the perfect Technicolor hat. I still have the hat. It looks awesome. And then it took me a while to find the vest. Once you find the perfect orange vest, you're Marty McFly. It's actually a pretty hard con. It's more of like you realize it later in life. Like as a kid, you weren't like, I want to be Marty McFly because there's not much to it.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Right. Unless you could have a hoverboard and shit like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, later in life, it's one of those cool throwback things. There's actually a wrestler. He's a Japanese wrestler who just got signed to the WWE. His name is Kushida. And his whole gimmick is that he just loves Back to the Future.
Starting point is 00:28:47 So he's come out at Wrestle Kingdom. He's come out. This is like Japanese WrestleMania. They have it at the Tokyo Dome. 50,000 people. He comes out in the DeLorean. His tag team used to be called the Time Splitters. He's awesome.
Starting point is 00:28:59 He literally, his shorts have their white and they have that like Technicolor, I guess, design on it. And he wears the vest and the denim to the ring every time. He wears the Doc Brown glasses, too. He's awesome. You guys would be in on Kushida. Like the diner owner, and he's like, what are you, in the Coast Guard? Because he's got the vest on. I mean, all those little things.
Starting point is 00:29:16 And was that a style in the 80s? I guess so. It must have been a 80s vest. It looks like a leggings. For the denim? I don't know. It's stylish now. Yeah, the puffy jacket is almost like a wrap thing, like early 2000s.
Starting point is 00:29:27 Now, Bob, were you able to, or maybe you looked it up afterwards, see all the things? Originally, they're at the Twin Pines Mall, but when he goes back there, he runs over a pine tree, and then he's at the Lone Pines Mall. I didn't know that one. Yeah, there's all these little subtle things that change. I didn't notice that at all.
Starting point is 00:29:44 So I guess getting into the second one, I said immediately, wild to be watching this after the future takes place, which I said. And Doc Brown, in the first few minutes of the movie, drugs a woman because she learned too much about her future, which her and Marty were both taking that very pretty easily before she got drugged. Yeah. They were like, oh, we get married. We get married. Yeah, well, that's like girls are just – that's all girls want to hear. So it's not like you're going to be that good of a man of shock. I would have were like, oh, we get married? We get married. Yeah, well, that's all girls want to hear. So it's not going to be that good of a shocker. I would have been like, what?
Starting point is 00:30:08 Wait, what? Doc Brown, chill out. Stop telling me things. I don't even want to know this stuff. And I love when he goes into the future for the first time and he gets the shoes and he immediately sees the Jaws 19 thing comes at him. It's so funny. These movies hold up so well.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Dude, the future, they did everything. I mean, first of all, the Nike mags are like – I mean, to this day, they – People still talk about it. I mean, they did a release last year, maybe two years ago for charity where they're going for like $50,000. How have they not mass produced those? I have a painting in my house of them. Yeah, those are such a dope painting. He's got one of those those canvas 3D type things of the Nike Max.
Starting point is 00:30:47 I bet you it's Michael J. Fox's decision for some reason because the ones that they did release were... You think he has the say? How would he have the rights to that? I almost feel like he does in a way because when they released them, it was all for his foundation. Oh, that's nice. So they sold
Starting point is 00:31:03 10 pairs on eBay that got up to $50, 000 a pair so maybe he maybe he doesn't have control but yeah and they did what they what they do is they have like the the back to the future nike dunks like they just take another silhouette they make it uh gray with the teal so they make other versions of it do you own any of those uh i had the – I had. I don't have them anymore, the Back to the Future Dunks. They made like a knockoff Nike mag, Air Mags that are like a little bit different and cheaper and more attainable but like the Nike mags. And then what they're doing now, they have – like the Nike Hyper Adapt I think it's called just has the actual auto lacing. I saw that. Yeah, that's insane. So lacing. Like you don't have to tie your shoes anymore. Yeah, that's insane.
Starting point is 00:31:46 So that was like a thing. Those are like $800. But that has been influencing sneaker culture like since it came out. Insane. I'm surprised. And I shouldn't say I'm surprised there hasn't been this because I don't know if there has been this. But like a shoe design based on the hoverboard design, the Hasbro hoverboard. That's like the pink.
Starting point is 00:32:03 The pink with almost the Eddie Van Halen guitar design. Yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh. And I mean, forget about a thing designed by like, how do we not have the hoverboard? Didn't we, weren't we trying to think of what Mosh should do for you? Make a hoverboard sneaker? Some hoverboard kicks?
Starting point is 00:32:16 It has to be Back to the Future. Well, so the thing is that there's already like, you know, like Back to the Future sneakers are already like a thing. Yeah. But if we did like, you know, you're used to the Air Mags now we're gonna do
Starting point is 00:32:26 what if we decked it out and like the bottom of them were all the hoverboard the bottom's all pink and then the top you do like the Nike Air Mags that's not a bad idea or even just like
Starting point is 00:32:34 some sort of pink some sort of pink in there that Pepto-Bismol pink that's the hoverboard that's it that's oh yeah I don't know
Starting point is 00:32:40 and maybe if he paints like the flame trails okay somewhere in there yeah just like like the rest of it can just be like other things from Back to the Future. It doesn't have to necessarily be the hoverboard.
Starting point is 00:32:47 Yeah, they're just Back to the Future shoes. Okay. And that's one aspect of it. Might be kind of sick. Might be kind of sick. I said the 2015 that Marty went into looked dope. It looked so awesome. So from the sneakers to the hoverboard.
Starting point is 00:33:00 The hoverboard is obviously like the holy grail. I mean, again. Which was a scooter. I know. Nobody talks about it as a scooter. I know. mean i was stunned when he like let me take this off like the hoverboard was a scooter yeah yeah when he breaks it like again the continuity from the skateboard to the hoverboard but when he breaks it and turns into a skateboard at first at the end when he like kick flips it back up like i spent my whole time just smashing skateboards like that and the superboard that
Starting point is 00:33:25 that uh throws it and it like goes over water yeah i didn't understand why the hoverboard couldn't go over water it doesn't i was like that doesn't make any sense you remember well quick departure to other nerd stuff because i was trying to think of all the other nerd things we forgot about growing up do you remember the tycoon typhoon typhoon yeah yeah the hovercraft there was a remote control remote control cars were like a big fucking deal yeah they sort of were are they still like that is that what i remember i wanted like a remote control car so there was one that was uh hovering one like it had like a hovercraft it had it was a hovercraft it had like a oh i had a rubbery bottom and it inflated with air i know exactly what you're talking about. And this thing, the commercial was like, it can go over a pavement.
Starting point is 00:34:05 It can go over sand. It can go over water. And, like, it couldn't. It needed to be a perfectly flat. It could go over maybe a puddle. Yeah, like a small puddle. We thought we could use it in the pool. We thought we could put it in the pool.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Yeah, no fucking shot. And I think Dad was like, this thing was like $200. Do not put it in the pool. There was also one that was on four wheels that could flip over. It didn't have a top and bottom. It had the middle. I mean, I was definitely into remote-controlled cars for a minute. They were kind of sick when Toy Story came out, I remember, because there's that awesome one in Toy Story that Woody and Buzz ride on.
Starting point is 00:34:37 So I always wanted to recreate that, put action figures on it. Did you ever have the one with the track? Slot cars? Yeah. Hell yeah. You have like a trigger almost go up up a loop i love slot cars all that shit i had a batmobile one like the 60s batmobile the adam west one even just right down to uh hot wheels and matchbox just like you know you're doing with
Starting point is 00:34:55 your hands but i had a ferrari testarossa that was heat uh color changing so like we what i would do is i would fill up the sink with hot water and I would use like a half pipe. And it would like – I would drop the car down and it would turn like white and then red and then pink sometimes. I'd do half and half. I love that. Half and half. Do you think they still make toys that are like temperature changing? Because I used to have a – like a Jack Nicholson Joker where if you put it in the freezer, his face would turn like to that regular like skin tone.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Like an action figure you mean? From the scene in the art museum yeah so like and I remember I used to have a spider man that if you put him in the freezer
Starting point is 00:35:31 he would turn into like Venom he would have the black suit did you ever have those gloves what were those called those had a name oh
Starting point is 00:35:38 one that Dave loves yes we almost like remade those were heavy in the 80s no no they were like skiing remember
Starting point is 00:35:44 it was like they were like neon colored they were like were like skiing. Remember? It was like color changing. They were like neon colors. And it was like an alpine skier. And if they were in the snow, it turned one color. The Isotona gloves changed colors for sure. When I think of Isotona, I think of Dan Marino in Ace Ventura. Those are just like. Oh, maybe you're right.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Maybe I got the wrong name. I think there is at least another name for it. Yeah. What was that? Do you remember book socks that were like... They were the temperature changing ones? Or when you guys covered books, did you guys just do it with paper bags? I was a paper bag kid too. Okay, I was gonna say.
Starting point is 00:36:14 No, I was straight paper bags. They had ones that were almost like condoms, right? Yes. That you could like kind of wrap. Literally like condoms. It was almost like a fitted bed sheet, right? Yes. A hundred percent. And I remember those were like everyone had the thermal ones where if you put your hand on it, it would stay thermal and stuff like that. Wait. Actually, let's just do that real quick.
Starting point is 00:36:27 What was like cool when you were in school? All right. So it was – As far as books and stuff like that. Definitely those book socks. There were these – I think they were called – they weren't FUBU, but they were like these like – Better not be FUBU. No.
Starting point is 00:36:41 They were these monkey erasers that people used to put on their pencils. Freezy Freakies. Is that what it's called? pencils. Freezy Freakies. Is that what it's called? Yep. Freezy Freakies. That's the one I'm thinking of, the alpine style. Those were cool. What else was cool?
Starting point is 00:36:52 Like Nintendo DS, that was huge when I was in school. Remember those? Yeah, yeah. Freezy Freakies. I don't remember what else. Nintendo DS. Bro, that's just a fucking video game console. But people brought them in all the time.
Starting point is 00:37:05 Yeah, well, but that's not like a cool. Yeah, it's like I just brought video games to school. What do you mean then? Trapper Keepers were like a huge fucking deal for us. Do you even know what that is? I know what a Trapper Keeper is. I had them. They were definitely not a cool thing.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Pencil cases were a cool thing. What's that? Pencil cases. You got a sick pencil case. Right, right, right. Hypercolor is what I was thinking of. That's just like the technology. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:27 The Trapper Keeper was the first OG one. And then when you got into middle school, that was like elementary school. Middle school, when you were a little more serious, was the 5-star binder. Yep, I know. The 5-star with the zip-up. But the Trapper Keeper with the rings and the Velcro over and the folders were all cool. I think my – I want to – I'm probably speaking – this is probably ridiculous, but I want to say my generation was the first to have mechanical pencils.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Those were hot shit. I mean we had them, but not – Those were kind of hot shit for us. Mechanical pencils, cool erasers. We called them lead pencils. Lead pencils? We would just have lead pencils
Starting point is 00:38:06 yeah I guess and people used to have the little ammo belts where they would like they would just have lead in a glass case yeah I had one that had
Starting point is 00:38:15 like individual tips in plastic that were like loaded up into the pen because like you had the one that just
Starting point is 00:38:21 stuck the thing of the and you would take the tip out and put it on the back yeah I remember those two and then but then so it's so funny because i remember elementary school had like dumb things trapper keeper funny uh erasers uh scented erasers were huge i remember that i we didn't do that but i i'm like i knew all the weird thing by the way to be like let's make an eraser smell like an apple i think they stopped
Starting point is 00:38:42 all those things because i feel like kids just kept eating things so it it's just like, yeah, this is going to taste better. And especially, I remember the ones that were popular when I was a kid. They were like, you'd put them on the, it was the cap eraser.
Starting point is 00:38:52 Yes. They were like monkey heads. Yeah. They looked like monkeys. Yeah. I used to take the cap erasers, the pink ones, the standard ones,
Starting point is 00:39:00 and I would put it in my mouth and I would bite down so that it would cause like a suction thing or stick it to my tongue. What a weirdo. What an absolute weirdo. Weird thing. I used to devour.
Starting point is 00:39:13 If I asked you to borrow a pen, I would just slobber on your pen. Here's your pen back. It would be gross. I used to just take the – they were like squarish erasers, the pink erasers, and just fold it until you like – Until it would change white. You mean like rectangle, right? Yeah, yeah. Like trapezoid.
Starting point is 00:39:31 You know, it's funny because I used to love – I believe it's a rhombus you're looking for. Correct. Yeah, correct. Sort of rhomboid. I used to love – I mean I said this on the first one. Remember I got obsessed with that Star Trek pen? Like I liked erasers, pencils. Me too. I used to have like i i liked erasers pencils me too i
Starting point is 00:39:46 used to have an eraser box something of erasers i didn't use yeah yeah and and like you said pencil cases there's something about like uh cool supplies basically right and then i was somehow going to staples it's a good experience i went to so there's a store it's just great you buy the pens you like because eventually the RSVP pens became hot shit in like middle school those are sweet the Dr.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Orbits or something like that Dr. it was like real thick fat but it had a really soft if you had a nice Dixon Ticoron de Roga whatever it's called yeah
Starting point is 00:40:17 with a fresh eraser on the end there's nothing better but on the flip side the rose art versions of them where it's like a little darker orange on the pencil, the erasers will smudge.
Starting point is 00:40:29 That's the worst thing. There was the one pencil you could like bend almost like in half. They're like rubbery pencils. The girls have like a big like poofy. Do you guys do scholastic book fairs? Oh, yeah. Where you like this. Wiggle it right in the rubber pen.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Do you guys have book fairs? Scholastic book fairs? Oh, yeah. Those were the shit. The brochure, if you will. Like that paper. It smelled. It was almost like the triplicate paper. It had a smell to it. It had a texture to it.
Starting point is 00:40:55 A little multi-grain paper. I remember wanting books. Again, almost because of the cover. I wanted hardcover books that had cool covers. I wasn't really into reading. I was into acquiring books. I remember it was always like they would have the prices on there too. So you go with $20 knowing exactly what you're going to get.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Usually it's like – for me, it was like a video game cheat code book, a new poster, and a comic. And that's it. And that's it. And it's like boom, I'm maxed out. Those are fun, man. I wonder if I can work with carbon paper. I did a little bit of that. Carbon paper?
Starting point is 00:41:24 Yeah. You probably don't even know. It's like a sheet of ink, and you'd put it under your notebook paper, and you'd do your homework, and it would print the homework on the next page, right? Yep. No, I definitely haven't done that. Yeah. I mean, it was literally like a very flimsy sheet of ink, a sheet of pencil almost. Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:41:45 and then so when you push down it would almost you were writing ink on your page and underneath it it was acting like a pencil and then you could hand in
Starting point is 00:41:51 the homework with the ink and you got to keep like the it was like so you have a version of yourself and that Bob is what a carbon copy is yeah so when you CC someone
Starting point is 00:41:59 it's like oh it's a carbon copy of that yes wow I didn't know that at all I never even thought about that. So every time you're tweeting and you like CC at someone's handle, originally it was because you put a fucking piece of carbon.
Starting point is 00:42:09 Wait, that's what CC is? Yeah. I didn't know what CC stood for. You just knew what it meant, but didn't know what it stood for? I just knew like, yeah, I'm going to CC this guy. Yeah, because it would be like, I'm copying you on this. Wow. That's fascinating.
Starting point is 00:42:19 And that's what our email, like reply forward CC, and you're CCing. Like CC'd on this email is Bob Fox. It was a carbon copy for you. Every day is a school day, bro. Every day is a school day. The Scholastic books, like that's one thing that I think is probably totally gone though. Right? Oh, you know what?
Starting point is 00:42:38 I don't even know. There was a book fair actually in – Shay's school had like – they set up like a couple things in the gym once and you could go buy the children's books. Yeah, that was all it was. I feel like the ordering of it though, like you're checking things off. I just feel like so much of that is going to go – That was awesome. It's like a classic book for digital.
Starting point is 00:42:53 Just buy a book. What do you want? I remember there would always be those weird kids too that would buy posters of cars. I never understood. I've never been a car guy. I get that like I'm into niche shit, so I shouldn't be like, how are you into cars? I never got the car thing. I wasn't huge, but i know exactly the posters talking about and i had them like the ferrari testarossa and the lamborghini and like it's like fuck that get me from point a to point
Starting point is 00:43:13 b i'll get a ford winstar poster do they i mean like they probably did it for you but i wonder nowadays do they do like straight up textbooks where you if you open the first page it would say like oh yeah the name and you can always look back and see. See who had it. Oh, shoot. This kid graduated. I remember watching him play basketball. Damn, she was so hot. Now I got her textbook. That's right.
Starting point is 00:43:31 That's right. But I don't know if that goes on anymore. I feel like everybody just has an iPad. Buy a book on an iPad or something. I don't know because I think they want money out of people, especially at the college level where you want to buy things. I remember my mom made me buy a bunch of textbooks the day before I got the full-time offer here. Remember, I was on the phone with her in the store at college being like, listen, I promise you I know what's happening tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:43:53 I'm getting a full-time offer. We are going to be wasting money here at the store. And she's like, you better get that. Like until you have the offer, you're fully committed to college 100%. I spent like $300 on books. The next day I just called her. I was like, hey, I just dropped out. You can do what you want with those books.
Starting point is 00:44:07 I bought a bunch of books that my junior year were still in the fucking wrapper. And a sprinkler pipe busted in my dorm and flooded like a huge puddle. And they were like, we'll reimburse you for anything that got ruined in the flood. And I just remember ripping open the fucking plastic and just throwing my books in the puddle. Like, throw everything you don't want into the puddle, guys. We're going to get reimbursed. You get to keep that cash, though, because then you have to – aren't you supposed to sell your books back eventually?
Starting point is 00:44:34 I think you have the option to sell your books. Yeah, and that was at like a discount. This was like full fucking price back. It was great. We used to have like glass doors, too. I rocked a Jansport for most of my career. Did you ever have your initials on like an L.L. Bean one? No, no.
Starting point is 00:44:48 Yeah, that was some fucking cake eater shit. That seems way too bougie for me. Yeah, big time. I had a couple Jansports. Mine was always like a ripped Jansport. Yeah. There was one period of time. Did you ever get backpacks banned?
Starting point is 00:44:59 We didn't get backpacks banned. And now that I'm thinking of it, I actually had a backpack for a period of time that was just a one strap. That was. I remember shorts were banned. Now that I'm thinking of it, I actually had a backpack for a period of time that was just a one-strap. That was. I remember shorts were banned. That was the biggest thing? The biggest thing in my school. Shout out Little Fairy Memorial Middle School. The biggest thing that we ever faced was a short ban.
Starting point is 00:45:16 We had this principal, Mimi Bear. That was her real name. Mimi Bear. Her name was Miriam, but she preferred to go by Mimi. M-I-M-I. Mimi Bear. We actually made her retire. She said at my eighth grade graduation, because my town doesn't have a high school, so we
Starting point is 00:45:29 all go off on separate ways. My eighth grade graduation, she said to all of our parents on a microphone, this class is the only reason I'm retiring. They were the least behaved class I've ever experienced in my 40 years of teaching. She was out of there. But she banned shorts until like June 1st. She's like, nobody's allowed to shorts Until like June 1st She's like Nobody's allowed to wear shorts
Starting point is 00:45:46 Until June 1st Just as like a decorum thing We did not understand why And it was like a public school Like every other Yeah no uniforms No uniforms Nothing like that
Starting point is 00:45:54 And there would be Super hot days Where when you're in 6th, 7th grade You want to go play tag At a match or whatever Yeah We would go outside
Starting point is 00:46:01 And we would have to wear jeans So eventually The kids revolted We all started wearing shorts over our pants. And thinking back, it was one of the all-time dumbest protests of all time. Dude, that's funny because recently I feel like a bunch of kids and a bunch of boys in California were wearing tank tops because the girls got banned. Oh, that happened to us too. It was like a gender fluid spaghetti straps.
Starting point is 00:46:26 Spaghetti straps was like the term that I learned because spaghetti straps were banned in school. They banned backpacks because it was allegedly hurting our backs. It was bad for children's backs because we were carrying so many books. So you just had to carry books. So you go to your locker and you're like, I got third, fourth, and fifth period all in a row so I need all these textbooks. So we had
Starting point is 00:46:42 a stack of books walking around. That can't be good for a bunch of fourth graders either. What the fuck is going on? It's so weird how you'd be like so nervous. You'd be like, I don't have time to go to my locker. Like nowadays I'd just be like – I mean I'd walk in and be like, hey, teach. I'm five minutes late because I had to go get three fucking books from the locker. You want me to show up without the book?
Starting point is 00:47:01 Just do that. Just be like – don't be a dick. Don't be like – don't show up to class late because you're like a badass or something like that. But I would just be like, I'm late. You know, and like the thought of, like I was terrified of like being in the halls without a hall pass. Me too. I had to fucking take a piss, man. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:47:15 I'm not trying to be a dick. It's crazy the stakes. Am I just going to go hang out in the halls? Like when you're in that world, the stakes seem so high. Everything's the most important. And then the second you get out, you're like, why did I give a fuck? Why did we do that? Yeah, they were so scary were so scary you get a little bit of that where like the professor's just like i don't give a fuck if you pass or not fucking yeah you're paying your
Starting point is 00:47:31 high school your parents are paying like thirty thousand dollars a year for this middle school and high school prepares you for the real world of like you know your boss is gonna be getting mad at stupid things you have to follow these dumb rules and it's a full day of like eight to three is a lot more reasonable like a lot more like a nine to five than college is. College, you revert back. College spoils you a little bit. Yeah, big time. I hated college.
Starting point is 00:47:51 That was a bad two months of my life. I wanted that last for you. This is your college. Yeah, yeah. This is where it's spoiling you. This sort of is my college. If you ever have to go into the real world, you're in trouble because it's not like that. This is a fun college.
Starting point is 00:48:02 But to get back to Back to the Future 2, we'll circle back to this one well we don't have to you know go as in depth as we did with the first one but i will say i liked two better than one so i do want to touch on you know some of the other aspects of it the cafe in the 80s in this one was one of the creepiest environments i've ever seen in a movie absolutely terrifying like you haven't gotten over that. Don't understand why the hoverboard doesn't work on water. Okay. When they, what is the gun smoke, the shoot-em-up game, where he plays it in the future,
Starting point is 00:48:34 and the kids are like, you have to use your hands? That's like a baby toy. Everything they did in the future, I thought, was so cool. Like, as a kid, it was the pizza that, like, hydrates the pizza written down the pizza that looks like it looks like uh what are those cookies that you like slice slice and bake cookies yeah look like one of those and then it turns into a full pizza
Starting point is 00:48:54 amazing the dog walkers that are drones yeah yeah that's the smartest idea i've ever heard my honestly like some of those things might not be so fucking far-fetched. If you don't think Uber for dogs is coming where a drone will show up at your door, you attach a leash to it and go have fun. You're crazy. That's happening. It's basically Alexa, right? I mean, he walks in and he talks to a computer. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. AI.
Starting point is 00:49:16 Yeah, definitely. That's Alexa. And because it recognizes his voice. Jennifer from the past. Oh, yeah. Young Jennifer. They're like, oh, identify. And she goes, lights on. And turns the past. Oh, yeah. Young Jennifer. Yeah. As they're like, oh, you know, identify. And she goes, lights on.
Starting point is 00:49:26 And turns the lights on. Right. I think eventually they sold the Pepsi. Isn't the Pepsi in like some kind of weird container that like comes up
Starting point is 00:49:33 from the bar? I think they sold that for a little while. That was like a publicity stunt. Like that shaped bottle or whatever. Yeah, like the logo looking that way.
Starting point is 00:49:41 You know what else was super creepy as I'm thinking about the future now is like, we'll call it the sexual enslavement of Marty's mom by Biff. Yeah, definitely. He made her get new tits and all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Like, very aggressive. All the different Biff universes were funny. Like, when they show, like, especially the, like, and Biff murdered Marty's dad and married his mom. It's like, holy shit. Oh, my goodness. Like, Lorraine, she went through some shit, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:07 She was definitely traumatized. What else? Oh, FaceTime. FaceTime they completely predicted when he FaceTimed Marty's dad as FaceTiming his boss and he gets fired over. I was like,
Starting point is 00:50:15 oh my. Marty's wearing ties. Yeah. The wacky things they come up with would be fashionable and then the Japanese guy yells at him and then he gets a fax
Starting point is 00:50:23 that says you're fired. Out of all the things that they predicted, like there he gets a fax that says you're fired. Out of all the things that they predicted, there's still a fax machine? Nah, bro. Did they have phones? Is there ever? I don't think they ever pick up a phone and hold it up to their ear and talk on it. I think everything was sort of like video chat. Yeah, but it was like video chat, but not on a device.
Starting point is 00:50:43 It could be wrong. Oh, when he comes in and he turns on like 40 channels? Yeah. He's like, let me get the weather channel and like two sports channels. I'm like, some people are doing that now. You're like a fucking big cat's apartment. Yeah, literally. I thought it was funny, the almost dystopian future where they cut to it and it's like bikers everywhere.
Starting point is 00:51:00 It's dark and bleak. I was like, this looks metal. I would just stay here. I'm like, this looks like the music video for Dr. Feelgood right now. All just because of Biff. Yeah. Biff just took over this whole town. I mean, it would just be one rich guy.
Starting point is 00:51:11 He doesn't have to affect every single thing. What do you think would happen? I love that he does, though. I almost want, talking about different Back to the Future universe, it's hard to- Multiverse shit. We need to do a version where Biff doesn't- What if someone did a what if comic book of like every single Biff? Like every like arc was just a new Biff.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Now, and that makes me think I'm pretty sure we're missing a generation because Biff is George McFly's age. Yeah. And then George's grandson is Griff's age. Marty's kid is Griff's age. Marty's kid is Griff's age. Shouldn't there be another? There's nobody Marty's age. There's no Tannen that's Marty's age. Biff is Marty's age.
Starting point is 00:51:56 No, Biff is George's age. George's age. And then Griff is Marty's kid's age. Yeah, yeah. So there's no. I guess it's at the very end. There is like a middle-aged Biff at one point. He's the one watching the cars at the end.
Starting point is 00:52:09 That's still George's age, right? Right, right, right. That's still – there's Biff in there. But Griff is definitely Biff's grandson, not son, right? What they never show is Marty in school in like 1985 with his regular peers, right? No, because he's like going to school at the beginning of the movie. Right, but they don't show Marty getting bullied by like, it's... There should be like a myth hit,
Starting point is 00:52:28 you know, that's like in that school. And maybe there is, but so maybe that's another prequel idea. The 1980... You need a 1985 Tannen is what you need, right? Right. A 1985 high school Tannen doesn't exist. Yeah, I don't think that that guy... You don't see... I don't think you ever see him.
Starting point is 00:52:43 Right. I loved that this was kind of the original FaceApp. Everyone should get old people makeup exist. Yeah, I don't think that that guy, you don't see, I don't think you ever see him. Right. I loved that this was kind of the original FaceApp. Everyone should get old people makeup on at the movie and I was just like, this is FaceApp. Back to the Future 2
Starting point is 00:52:52 invented that as well. And isn't Crispin Glover not in that one and that's why he's upside down? Yeah. So that nobody can tell that this is just a different actor?
Starting point is 00:52:59 Oh, really? Yeah, he got like real high on his own supply and was like, you know, I gotta get paid and they were like, And he's upside down because his back's hurt or whatever.
Starting point is 00:53:07 He's floating upside down. I think that was a mechanism so that you can't really tell that that's not him. Interesting. That's very funny. What a dick to not be involved. So the whole story of this one is kind of what we said, the almanac. Biff takes the almanac, bets on all the right games. What do you think would happen if that happened in real life?
Starting point is 00:53:22 What if someone all of a sudden got every single bet right? I feel like Vegas would have them killed. Yeah, they would cut them off. They would definitely cut them off at some point. He'd have to go overseas or something. Dana White told me in that video I did with him, the office tour, that he was winning Blackjack too much at the Palms, and they were like,
Starting point is 00:53:39 you're banned. You're not allowed to gamble here anymore. Eventually you win. There would be no way... Blackjack is like, you're counting cards. I'm anymore yeah eventually you win there would be no way you know like blackjack it's like you're counting cards it's like I'm just guessing the outcome guys like I can't
Starting point is 00:53:49 you know what I mean they would go through I mean they would figure out the time travel the casinos would figure out what happened you know what I mean they would be like
Starting point is 00:53:57 imagine that imagine you're like did this guy fucking travel through time he's nailed it if it happened now they'd be like this is like back to the future
Starting point is 00:54:04 I was legit thinking like I might have encountered a time traveler in my life that told me they were a time traveler and I might have just thought they were
Starting point is 00:54:11 like a junkie in New York you're a fucking kook and don't they say when they're explaining it don't they say that like he never placed a bet
Starting point is 00:54:20 because doesn't the thing only go through 2000 or something like that do they say that I feel like they say that I want to say that there's a scene where back to the future to happen he was like retired from sports gambling right right i think but i feel like when uh when grandpa like biff gives it to him he like gives him a set of rules almost right he's like an old man told me like don't ever do this don't ever do that and if some punk kid comes around looking for like kill him or whatever yeah i think there's, like, some rule behind it.
Starting point is 00:54:47 And isn't there – I think there's an outtake where that old biff disappears because they – until you've seen that outtake, you're like, what happens to him? Because he is from the future, right? He's from the future. He's one of those, like where it's like everything's fucked. Takes it back. Gives it to him in 55, right?
Starting point is 00:55:10 Yeah. Yeah, he gives it to him in 55. But then how does he get back? And how does the DeLorean get back? Well, don't they show him stealing the DeLorean back? Maybe I'm imagining that. I think there's a quick scene where the camera kind of pans. And then it's like as Doc and Marty
Starting point is 00:55:25 are walking up to him Doc is like we gotta destroy this thing we gotta yeah and Doc finds his broken cane right he's like what is this
Starting point is 00:55:32 what are you doing and then he finds it and he like throws it out but like still Biff would have to the old Biff would have to steal
Starting point is 00:55:39 the DeLorean go back to 55 and then just come and put it back and you don't see any of that yeah they didn't like explain all of it but I'm actually thinking now I think a good and go back to 55 and then just put it back and you don't see any of that. Yeah, they didn't explain all of it.
Starting point is 00:55:50 But I'm actually thinking now, I think a good Halloween costume, I think I'm going to be Doc Brown wearing the mind reader. Yeah. That'd be sick. I'm going to have the thing that I'm going to walk around sticking on people's head at the party. When he's like, do you know what this means? He's like, it means this damn thing doesn't work. So funny. He drew the flux capacitor when he fell off the toilet or some shit. Do you know what this means? It means this damn thing doesn't work. I love it. So funny.
Starting point is 00:56:09 Drew the flux capacitor when he fell off the play literature. So who's responsible for that kind of stuff? Like the flux capacitor looking like it looked and then wording like the flux capacitor. Probably a prop designer. Probably, you know, like someone that we have no idea what their name is. That's not like Zemeckis, like, you know, his forte or something. There's a chance. Because that stuff is, even like the flux capacitor could have been named anything. George Lucas has like napkin drawings, you know, his forte or something. There's a chance. He may have. Because that stuff is, even like the flux capacitor could have been named anything. George Lucas has like napkin drawings, you know, that he's done.
Starting point is 00:56:29 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That becomes an AT-AT. Right. But most of the time it's a prop designer, someone on set being like, hey, why don't you use like an old fan blade for it or something. You know, just random shit like that. The amount of shit that goes into like perfecting the movie is awesome. It's crazy. Like the amount of people, especially. I said the Game of Thrones season eight documentary will give you, like, more of an appreciation for that season in that you're like, holy shit.
Starting point is 00:56:50 A lot. I felt bad about how much I was trashing it when I saw that. I was like, this show still sucks, but I feel bad about it. Yes. But Marty has to trick Biff into giving him the almanac. He eventually gets it. He burns it, All that stuff. My favorite line in either of these two movies comes at the end of this one when
Starting point is 00:57:07 Marty has to go back and kind of make sure everything is corrected by the end of this whole movie. He says to Doc Brown, he's like, you're not going to believe this. Doc Brown just goes, I don't believe it! And it made me laugh. I don't know what it was about the delivery, but he's like, you're not going to believe this. And he's like, I don't believe it!
Starting point is 00:57:23 It was so fucking funny. My favorite running joke of the whole thing is heavy when he's like what is this is there is there a gravitational pull problem in the future that you're talking about why is everything so heavy and they flip it at some point right doesn't doesn't marty say great scott or something yeah yeah they show each other's tendencies yeah um overall i will say two great movies i would say great i would say they held up very well aside from the Marty and his mom stuff, which made me super uncomfortable. And I cannot believe that, like, the movie got as popular. I can believe it got as popular as it did. But the fact that the main plot line of the first one is that his mom wants to have sex with him.
Starting point is 00:57:58 It's cute. It's funny. It's awkward. It's crazy. It's like an afterthought for me. It's crazy for me because it just keeps going and getting more and more intense and getting closer to that moment where the penis is inserted. And I was just like, oh, my God. When she kisses him, but then she, like, bugs him.
Starting point is 00:58:13 And she knows, yeah. That was all weird. The second one I loved. I stopped taking notes halfway through because I was just invested in the movie. I was, like, wanting that almanac back. I'm very glad I watched them. I feel good to be in on the jokes. Three I think I'll probably watch down the line.
Starting point is 00:58:27 I have no – I have no like I got to see it right now. I don't feel that way. It's like – well, also – If I ever catch it on TV, I'll put it on. I feel like if you don't like cowboys and western stuff too, you're going to lose some of the lore. I actually do like western stuff. So then you'd be good. Like I was going to say, if you don't like that – because a lot of it is like – to me that says that maybe Zemeckis, whoever it was, is like I just like cowboys and Indians.
Starting point is 00:58:45 And so I'm going to make my favorite characters that I came up with also do that. Because a lot of it is just like Old West. There's shootouts and like – I think there's a joke about it. I think there's a joke about it in Once Upon a Time – not Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. A Million Ways to Die in the West. Have you seen that movie? The Seth MacFarlane one?
Starting point is 00:59:01 I know what you're talking about. I feel like there's a scene in that movie where he like stumbles upon the delorean or something yeah i could because yeah he like hides it in like a cave he like bursts into it yeah he like the very first thing he shows up in like a like a native american like stampede or something yeah and he's like yeah yeah yeah but it definitely stands alone it doesn't like and it's just like the first two have so much to do with each other that then when you just go off and tell like a separate story where it is needs to get back. How involved is three with one and two?
Starting point is 00:59:27 It's not. You know what it is? It's the Doc Brown movie, really. That's about Doc Brown. The woman he falls in love with, his family. It's like Marty. It's Marty, but it's more about – because Doc – that's what happens. In the end, Doc Brown is like free to do what he wants.
Starting point is 00:59:43 So he lives out his life in the West? Yes. He does the old Captain America. Yes. Yes. Very good. So even that. Wow.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Wow. He does. I mean, literally, that sounds like that's what he does. Because he goes and has a little family with Clara and all them and lives Old West. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then comes back with a time traveling train. With a locomotive. Amazing. Absolutely amazing locomotive. Amazing.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Absolutely amazing. Spoilers. Consider me watching Back to the Future 3. I take back what I said. And it's flying through the air and time-traveling. Kind of amazing. It's one of those things that's like you've probably heard slander all these years. And it's like, yeah, in comparison to, in my opinion, the two greatest movies of all time, it's not that good.
Starting point is 01:00:22 But it's still, you know, it's like game of thrones almost when i was complaining about like it's still better than everything on tv it's still a very fun like cool quirky easter eggy time travel movie same like team behind it too had to be right oh yeah there's two and three we're i know we're filmed together and what and it's it's not spielberg or think Spielberg executive produced it. Zemeckis is like – I feel like Spielberg got credit for it for a while. Yeah, because I can see his name on the credits.
Starting point is 01:00:51 But it's like he wasn't the creator of it, right? He like – yeah. Well, how about this? You know that it was – I think the whole first movie is shot with someone other than Michael J. Fox. Oh, I heard about that. And they reshot it. Really? Because he couldn't do it because he was doing Family Ties. And they shot
Starting point is 01:01:06 it and they were like, this fucking sucks. Who was that? Do we know? No, I can't remember. That's the old bastard. Yeah, that guy. He never went on to become anything else. But they said they were like, we need Michael J. Fox and they had him shoot Family Ties all day long and then they shot
Starting point is 01:01:21 Back to the Future at night. I think they did the whole thing. He was he had Life with Mikey and then they shot um uh back to the future at night but i think they did he was like he had life with mikey and then he had family ties and back to the future i mean he was like back to the future really blew him up though right i was he like well megastar before back to the future no i think that that's i think that that's what shot him to the top but he was like you know elite like you know family ties was like a hit sitcom and he was like, you know, Family Ties was like a hit sitcom, and he was basically like the lead actor in that. Eric Stoltz. Stoltz, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:48 According to the available call sheet, Stoltz filmed for seven weeks. So maybe not the full thing. Seven weeks is a long time. Yeah, November 26th of 84 through January 10th of 85. After seeing a rough cut, Steven Spielberg and the writer-directors decided that Stoltz had played the role way too seriously for a comedy. And he was replaced by Michael J. Fox. Let me get a picture of this. Murder someone to see those scenes. Also, if you're this guy.
Starting point is 01:02:11 Oh, wait, that's a guy, though. You know Eric Stoltz. That poor bastard. That almost makes it worse. But if you're that guy, how are you not like, bro, why didn't you tell me to fucking start joking around? Yeah. You're like, don't take it away from me. Why do you let me be serious for seven weeks?
Starting point is 01:02:26 Oh, I would be so pissed. Is he in something else? What's his IMDb? He was in Mask. He was Rocky Dennis in Mask. Rocky Dennis in Mask. I think Mask just celebrated its 25-year anniversary or something like that.
Starting point is 01:02:39 Oh, maybe not. The picture that they showed there is different from what I saw here. God, what a brutal break. He's a ginger. I mean, yeah, that is tough. What an absolutely brutal break.
Starting point is 01:02:51 Poor bastard. I think that's all there is to say about Back to the Future, at least on this show. Yeah, we did a nice little of all of it. We covered elementary school, quirky shit.
Starting point is 01:02:58 We covered a little elementary school, Back to the Future. We sandwiched it in there. The one thing I don't think I talked about, because as we're talking about remote control cars, I started thinking more about toys and whatnot.
Starting point is 01:03:08 My favorite toy of all time, and actually what triggered it is you saying what sneaker Mosh should design for me, because the other idea I sent over to him is a sneaker completely based on the blue ball. A bouncy, like a racquetball, was my favorite toy of all time. Oh, he loved it. Just a blue ball? A blue fucking ball. I went through a blue phase as a child. When you say racquetball, I'm thinking like a pink wall ball, but blue?
Starting point is 01:03:32 Yes. Okay. See, it's crazy that you would think of that as pink to me. I know that pink ones exist, but blue is the default color for me. Sky bounce, it had a little... Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think you just wanted to have it. It wasn't like you were just playing.
Starting point is 01:03:43 I didn't play with it. You just had to have that ball. It was almost like a pacifier or a doll or something like that. I went through a blue phase as a child, Bob. Meaning I would not leave the house unless I was wearing blue. My parents would try to dress me in something other. Would not do it. It's crazy.
Starting point is 01:04:01 I needed a blue ball. I needed blue clothes. I loved all blue. Was there any reason? Was it like, were you a big fan of something blue? Yeah, there's an awesome, blue is the best color. All blueed out. Blue is awesome.
Starting point is 01:04:12 That was the reason. It was literally just based on that. I blew myself. Yeah, I was very much devised. But the blue ball, I eventually was playing butts up with it. We just played off the roof. I don't know what that is. Butts up.
Starting point is 01:04:28 You might know it as suicide or red ass. You know what I mean? So we stand in front of a wall. I throw it off the wall, and you've got to off the bounce, catch it. Wall ball. You did that. See, wall ball to me was almost like a kickball. That was a Pennsylvania thing.
Starting point is 01:04:43 No, no, no, no, no. So you just called that wall ball. And then if you bobbled it, you had to run and touch the wall and we could peg you. That's straight up wall ball. So it was called butts up because if you like – if you lost like a couple times or whatever, you had to stand there and like everyone else playing just got to fucking rail you. Did you ever get pegged in the ass? I like never allowed that to happen.
Starting point is 01:04:59 Yeah, I was just like, no, no, no. I quit. I quit. Could you imagine? You must have to like tuck your balls. Yeah. Tuck them. If you just clip them. have to cup your balls. Yeah. And tuck them. If it just clips and hangs.
Starting point is 01:05:07 It's a little low. Oh, my goodness. Buddy. But that, and then we did off the roof where you just throw it up on the roof and then it would trickle back down and you just try to catch it. Like, I'll rebound. You play for about 15 minutes. It's stuck on the gutter.
Starting point is 01:05:18 I was going to say, yeah. Or it's over the roof and it'll go down the wrong side. Were you huge wiffle ball guys? Not huge. We played it. I was. Were you huge wiffle ball guys? Not huge. We played it. I was a huge, huge wiffle ball guy. I never got to the extent where – We would all get together for huge games.
Starting point is 01:05:30 Kickball, same thing. When people were really good at wiffle ball, I never – I just didn't play enough. Yeah, we just threw – You couldn't throw these sick breaking balls and it was impossible to hit. I rejoined back up in college, but I was like, oh, these kids have been playing since then. I took a hiatus a few years. I haven't played in years. Kickball got massive in my high school because we used to have senior year of high school.
Starting point is 01:05:53 We were having fights with the other gym class because we would all play kickball, pick teams during our periods. But then it started getting out that period five thinks they're better than period three. We organized a Sunday game. We were like, all right, period three versus period five. We're picking the all-stars. I don't think I ever did the neighborhood thing, really. We straight up did the neighborhood thing. And the kind of joke of it was like I was the team captain,
Starting point is 01:06:14 but I was definitely the worst one on the team. This is not that long ago. It's senior year of high school. And they had me lead off, and I led off with a home run. And it was one of the greatest moments of my life. The game ended in a fight, by the way. It was a brawl. Teachers got involved.
Starting point is 01:06:28 Yeah, yeah, yeah. We went and played in Greg Olson's kickball tournament. It's one of those things that's like, oh, I remember I had to play kickball. This is easy. I can do it. It's hard. It's hard to not just pop the ball up every time. And the way the fight broke out, we had weird rules where you could place two people outside of the fence.
Starting point is 01:06:44 And if they catch it, it's an out. If they drop it, it's a home run. Got it. So we had a kid talking shit from center field being like, yeah, kick it to me. Yeah, I'll catch it. And he bobbled it and dropped it. And it was a home run. And he came in to fight the kid immediately.
Starting point is 01:06:58 He was so embarrassed in that moment. He literally just ran in with a brawl in mind. He was like, I can't get embarrassed like this. I'm fighting. That's the thing about about like and then this time period this age period that's like your entire existence your whole worth we saw smitty just do this this week smitty threw a temper tantrum because he was losing a video game and i can't tell you i wasn't i wasn't that guy there's one like there's the type of kid who does it all the time But if you haven't ever just gotten frustrated and pressed the reset button in the middle of a losing game, like I'll just be like, boom. Nope, you didn't beat me.
Starting point is 01:07:31 You lose, man. But there was one kid who would always like just throw the controller or knock the game off or whatever because that's your entire – your pride, your self-worth. It's all whatever video game, kickball game, whatever game you're playing. That's all you got. I would do it to be a dickhead. I wouldn't do it out of frustration. Like I remember playing ping pong in high school was huge because we,
Starting point is 01:07:53 our high school got like some kind of funding thing and we spent it all on ping pong tables. And there's the old rule, like you can't lose on a serve. So I would just get to the point where it was like 10, nothing. I'm horrible at ping pong. I'd be like,
Starting point is 01:08:04 you can't lose on a serve. And i just spike it as hard as i could i would try to get up to the point where they would be like fuck it i guess if he's gonna keep doing this for everyone i have to start hitting them i would try to get as high up as i could with my score and everyone around me would be like he's such an asshole he's such an asshole did you ever play pickleball pickleball with uh with the paddle boards yeah it's like it's like paddle it's like it's like a paddle ball and like a weird. Each paddle ball. And you use a wiffle ball, but it has holes all over it, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:27 And it's almost like you're standing on. Imagine standing on the ping pong table is basically what you're doing. You have like paddles. It was huge in my high school. And it wasn't a tennis net, right? It was like a lower net. It was like a badminton net almost. I thought it was lower because badminton net's pretty high, right?
Starting point is 01:08:42 Maybe. But it's one of those. It's like a combination of badminton. It was crazy. And did you Maybe. But it's one of those. We had rankings in high school. It was crazy. And did you play mat ball? Gym games are the best. Mat ball? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:50 I think we did mat ball last time. No? Did we not do mat ball? You didn't play mat ball? I don't know. It's a kick ball. I mean, no. If you don't know the name mat ball, you didn't play it.
Starting point is 01:08:59 It would trigger it to you. It's indoor mat ball. And the bases are the gymnastics mats that you like. The accordion ones fold out and you have to go around twice to score. It's like four bases. You can have as many people
Starting point is 01:09:15 on the bases as you want at all times. You don't have to run. There's no force. You can just hit a single and stand on first base and then I can hit a single and stand on first base. We can all be on the like, the same base. You can run at any time. You can have as many people on base as you want. This sounds like you could also just score with every pitch, right?
Starting point is 01:09:33 Yes, but then, I mean, you can get pegged, and you'd be surprised. So there's no, like, let's say the pitcher rolls his kickball, right? So you roll this guy on second. He runs with the roll, and then it's a pop-up. Does he have to go back to first and you can tag him out? I'm not sure. I also think that you can't go back. Once you leave the base, so the pitcher could fake.
Starting point is 01:09:54 And if you step off the base, you're fucked. You have to run. Sounds fun. But there would be times where basically half the class would be on bases just running. And you're pegging and you're dodging. It sounds like chaos but a good i think the best gym gym game uh classes are gym class games are the chaos ones because my favorite was football basketball where it would just you would just divide it in the middle and there's like 10 footballs and you're just throwing them at the basketball hoops and
Starting point is 01:10:19 it's like if you get it in it's five if you hit the rim it's three if you hit the back it's just like nobody's keeping score of this. The gym teachers are definitely not paying attention. They're probably hungover. It's like football, but on scooters. You used to sit your ass on those little scooters. Oh, my God. Yeah, and you would roll your fingers.
Starting point is 01:10:36 I'm surprised there's a whole generation that doesn't just have stubs for fingers. Everybody got rolled over on those. We had that. It was called Survivor, and then later they called it The Hunger Games. They rebranded when the movies came out where they would stand up. They would stand up the gym mats in four corners and you would use beanbags. There were beanbags and there were quote-unquote snowballs, which were basically like just puffy balls. I think the snowballs would be like a kill and the beanbag were food.
Starting point is 01:11:00 So you would have to get as much food back to your corner as possible. That's fun. It was like a tag like – but you were pegging people yeah it was a ton of fun we we uh my gym teacher invented big bat bopper baseball which was like mat ball mixed with softball but the ball was like it was a ball i don't think is used for like any other game in the world it's like a squishy volleyball almost oh i know what you're talking about i know exactly they're just like gym balls. It's just like you can throw them at people,
Starting point is 01:11:26 you can throw them in a hoop, you can throw them around, and the bat was like a short, fat, stumpy bat, and you could just blast this thing, and then it was Matt Ball rules on the bases. It was incredible. I'm picturing him as the jump to conclusions guy from Office Space,
Starting point is 01:11:38 just being like, isn't this so great? This game, they're going to play this professionally. I remember being a kid and trying to create sports that you felt would be played professionally. I remember we had a balloon game. That was the name of our sport, balloon game. And we were like in eighth grade. And it was just like hook and it was spike ball with a balloon.
Starting point is 01:11:54 We played in my apartment at the age of 25. We just called the chair game and we stood in the corner. We had a big, fat, like leather, lazy boy. And you had to lob this, kind of foam Nerf ball and you had to, like, it had to land on the – it had to hit the back of the chair but also rest on the seat of the chair. Sounds like a fun game. Sounds like a boardwalk game.
Starting point is 01:12:16 Yeah, and we would do it all night long. And, like, when you got it to land, you would say, like, sit. Like, make it sit. Make it sit. So you throw the ball and you're like, sit, sit, sit. Let it sit. Let it sit. It was great. I mean, you would say, like, sit. Like, make it sit. Make it sit. So you'd throw the ball, and you'd be like, sit, sit, sit. Let it sit. Let it sit. It was great.
Starting point is 01:12:28 I mean, we would have, like – Neighbors were like, what the fuck are they doing in there? And then we had a wooden picture. It was like rather than being a painting, it was like wooden – like different colored chunks of wood made an owl. So it just looked like an owl. Long story short, we used to just take a Nerf football and throw it at the picture, and you had to, like, hit the owl. So it just looked like an owl. Long story short, we used to just take a Nerf football and throw it at the picture and you had to hit the owl and we just destroyed this wooden
Starting point is 01:12:49 fucking painting. It sounds like it. Yeah. It was great. Jeez. That was like as a quote-unquote adult. What a time. You guys got anything else? We've covered a lot of bases today. That was... I flat-out asked Bob to do this. I was like, I gotta get my nerd catharsis out again. I love it. We can make it a monthly feature. I had, I had,
Starting point is 01:13:05 I'm telling you about like a 40 tweet conversation about whether or not you can go back. Oh yeah. You brought this up. And, and bring this back. So I originally said, why didn't, um,
Starting point is 01:13:15 Dr. Strange just rewind time and, and bring Tony back. But I mean, it's like, I guess like he could just bring like all sorts of people back all the time. Now that's the problem with the infinity stones. They're almost,
Starting point is 01:13:24 they're too powerful. Right, right, right. Now, like well i guess some people were saying after endgame yeah some people were saying if stone is destroyed no because cap takes them all back yeah you're right so some people said oh well that will undo the the snap that tony did but like when when thanos will when thanos brings Vision, only Vision is affected. Like Wanda doesn't get like pulled back to where she was standing. But it affects the stone because the stone comes back.
Starting point is 01:13:51 The stone comes back too. But that makes me think that when he uses the time stone, he's using it on whatever he wants. Like just use it on Tony. Don't – like just bring it back to like – I guess it's like the moment that his body gets affected and it kills him. He has the stones the moment he's killed. So if you brought Tony back, are you now creating – do you now have two sets of Infinity Stones? Yeah, like in the exact same time because I'm using the stone to turn it back, but he's using the stone to do the snap. The stones were in his armor.
Starting point is 01:14:17 You know what I mean? Right, right. So yeah, it's just like – it's based on like the vision thing. When he brings vision back, it just seems like he very specifically can affect exactly what he wants so it's just like just affect the yeah the rest of the people rewound yeah and in dr strange he the the sanctum at the end is destroyed he like rebuilds that whole sanctum everyone that was crushed is like alive again it just seems like that's something the the time stone can do so anyway, I don't know. I think he could do that. But somebody said, you know what?
Starting point is 01:14:47 The catch-all was like, the snap is so powerful that it kills him so dead that one stone... He's super dead. He's more dead than extra dead people. And then they couldn't... And then once he's dead, they couldn't even assemble, Bob. They wouldn't even be
Starting point is 01:15:04 able to assemble once he's dead. I didn't even entertain, Bob. They wouldn't even be able to assemble. I didn't even entertain that whole thing from your partner, John. They are kind of assembled already. But he's not saying it. When Captain America says Avengers assemble, it's the first time we're hearing it, but it's not the first time they're hearing it because he says it at the end of Avengers 2. And the big joke is that they cut away. He goes, Avengers, and the credits hit. Right.
Starting point is 01:15:23 So it's like that's their like rallying cry so it's the same thing as like wakanda forever it's like yeah and he also he says he says it under his breath he goes avengers that's all he's saying to them yeah and he in his mind he's like assemble let's fucking do this yeah yeah yeah i mean that that pulls off the reason i said it was like that was fan service they were just trying to get that in because in the comic books like it is sort of like a command like everybody's fighting and he's like i gotta focus you guys we all gotta come together and do this one thing and that is what he's doing there but he doesn't need to call them together at that time and i'm like just don't question it
Starting point is 01:15:57 it was still awesome but he did uh i i we posed the question on kc radio if you could interview one avenger who would it be? I saw that. And someone said, I would talk to Captain Marvel and tell her, like, why were you so useless in the fight? Dude, so many people just have issues with that. They were about to be absolutely fucking wrecked. And it also, like, that's the same kind of person that would be, like, if she was a bigger part. Like, wow, you forced her into this. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:23 There was no winning with people yeah like it was quick but like Thanos is about to win before she shows up for that one like fight and she takes him
Starting point is 01:16:31 one on one until he literally punches her with the power of the power stone right and then but it was like
Starting point is 01:16:36 bought enough time for everyone to blow a while like she was mega important and I hate Captain Marvel but that's a good question
Starting point is 01:16:42 one Avenger and they have to answer like every question like like, honestly. And we said no to Tony Stark because that's just, like, the obvious answer. The one thing that the caller threw out is, like, this is just more, like, less Avenger-y and more, like, history. Is that Bucky was, like, kind of like a bad guy throughout from the 40s when Cap disappeared in the ice to modern times. Like, he may have been involved in the JFK assassination. That's
Starting point is 01:17:07 less about the Avengers and more about modern history. I said I would love to get the honest thoughts of Star-Lord when you ruined everything and ruined half of humanity. Just have him be like a fucked up man. What was that like when you got so upset about your girlfriend
Starting point is 01:17:23 and it ended up resulting in half of all living things being dead? I hated when people were calling him like the true villain of Infinity War. I was defending him, but that would be great to get his advice. I'm going to say something now, and you guys are probably going to be like that's the dumbest answer ever because he's not an offender. But I would like to interview, if no Tony Stark is available, Happy Hogan, his right-hand man. And Happy Hogan seems like a great dude. Probably be a great one. And I would like to know, like, what was the craziest Tony Stark part?
Starting point is 01:17:49 Nick Fury is a pretty good interview, probably. Nick Fury, great one. Hear everything. Bruce Banner, great one because he was probably around for all that Tony Stark shit. Super smart. I mean, I guess he wasn't around for years when he was fighting Thor. I said Thor just to do, like, straight-up alien talk, you know? Just, like, tell me about alien life.
Starting point is 01:18:04 How about Star-Lord for yo, let's talk about the aliens that you've had sex with. I was going to say just all across the universe your travels would be a little scumbag. If you flipped it to Star Wars,
Starting point is 01:18:15 Lando might be a great dark horse answer. Who would you want to talk to? Lando Calrissian? Yeah, probably him. How about Rocket Raccoon? Rocket Raccoon? Another great one.
Starting point is 01:18:22 Talk to a fucking... What's it like to be a goddamn talking hero raccoon? Rocket Raccoon would be I talked to a fucking, what's it like to be a goddamn talking hero raccoon? Rocket Raccoon would be intimidating, though, because, like, I bet he's not nice to the media. No. You know what I mean? He'd be like, I'm just here so I don't get fined, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:34 I don't think he would be entertained by fucking Bob's fucking interview. That's it. So, now, just to tie this back to Back to the Future, because there's a whole new set of rules for time travel. Can't they just use the Pym Particle quantum realm to just go back in time and grab Black Widow, Tony, and Gamora and pull them forward? I think the idea is no, especially for Gamora and Black Widow because they establish the Soul Stone is a life for a life and no trades.
Starting point is 01:19:06 Nothing else can get in the way of that. And then Bruce Banner says, I tried to bring her back at the end. He's like, I tried to bring her back. I know. Something like that. Where it's like if he tried to do it with the snap, he brought everyone in the world back, everyone in the universe back, but couldn't bring her back. I think the Soul Stone is just in the gates.
Starting point is 01:19:20 But it's not bringing back. It's just like you travel to 2012. She's still alive. She's still there. You's just like you travel to 2012. She's still alive. She's still there. I think if you grabbed her and brought her forward, she just wouldn't be there. She dissolves again. Yeah. It's like a soul for a soul.
Starting point is 01:19:35 I think the Soul Stone is definitely no way you could do that. I think Tony Stark, you bring up a much better point where it's like, why the hell wouldn't they be able to do that with them? But I think that comes down to like his contract he's the one doing these movies I mean honestly is that like is that a Downey Jr. thing or a Marvel thing or what like is he like I don't
Starting point is 01:19:56 want to be Iron Man anymore cause I fucking don't believe that would be the case no but I think what they've done is they did everything really well and I think they were like we're just gonna plan this and we're going to move on to another phase. I don't think it's the last time he's ever going to do it. No, no, no. I think that they're going to –
Starting point is 01:20:10 When they bring in X-Men, they will figure out a way to have Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr. alongside the X-Men. I think that it will be more like a cameo basis. Almost like Spider-Man with Iron Man. He's in it here and there. If they go with the Secret Wars thing, have one of the Skrulls turn into him. Right, right, right. You know, worst comes to worst. Right.
Starting point is 01:20:28 The one thing about bringing him back, the one argument I heard that I thought was somewhat decent was because, you know, Dr. Strange said there is one reality where everything has to go accordingly. But the whole thing is the new rules are that nothing gets undone if you go to the past and you do something that doesn't get it becomes your future thanos came from 2014 and and got right in yeah but he got dusted but it didn't undo the snap that's all still happened even though he died in 24 he died technically 2023 but he was from 2014 so there was no 2014 thanos to do to gather all this stuff. But that doesn't change, right? So if you go get Tony from 2012, technically all the stuff he did, he still should have done.
Starting point is 01:21:14 So that's where my – It would be just in that universe. He didn't do that because you pulled him from that universe. But in your universe, he had still done it. It's an interesting point. I would love to talk to Doctor Strange and be like you know you saw all 14 million fucking possibilities and like the one that did play out like did that actually mean all those things like you had to let star lord freak out and kill him like like down did you
Starting point is 01:21:37 see all of those things or was part of that just like coincidence or was it like all right we're gonna we're gonna have we're gonna almost do it star was gonna fuck it up he's gonna have to die that's that's the one scenario i i heard somebody did the calculation and they were like so what did he watch because he has to watch 14 million things right even if he's just watching one second 14 million seconds is a long time so if you have to watch like the equivalent of a three-hour movie where you're like get to know all this timeline 14 million times technically in that time where he was sitting there was like it was something like a hundred thousand years or something yeah that he just like fast forwarded through that's insane i said on our avengers end
Starting point is 01:22:14 game commentary like you know how he gives tony stark the one where he tells them like yes it's the one right after telling him like i can't tell you if this is the one i said in this scenario he watched in the future do you think he gave up the one finger right right and clem was like yeah how do we like we were saying like 12 million of those scenarios had to just be that rat not stepping on the right button in that car he had to be like come on two inches over they did really i remember thinking like all right so they're just gonna get they're gonna rewind time to bring them back like how are they gonna like reset this and it was like just sheer luck a rat steps on which works with the 14 million thing where it's like that's why it took so many times yeah god what a movie the second best movie of all time third best
Starting point is 01:22:54 movie of all time behind back to future one and two definitely two great movies two movies that i'm very thankful that i watched and i'm thankful terminator two is the podcast with me terminator two is next. Terminator 2 is it's like all the shit we're talking about but they turned it like violently badass.
Starting point is 01:23:11 It'll be super nice to do it too because it'll be like oh remember when that guy James Cameron had the record for highest grossing movie of all time?
Starting point is 01:23:18 That was a funny time. Like things holding up the technology in that with the liquid like the CGI Oh I've seen the CGI scenes where the gun gets stuck.
Starting point is 01:23:26 Oh yeah, that movie's not fake anymore. Who's in charge of Skynet? Because that's Jeff Bezos. Yeah, that's what's going on. He's currently doing it. Yep. Or Elon Musk,
Starting point is 01:23:34 that fucker. Thank you for listening. If you're not subscribed already, please do that. Rate, review. I'm saying this all in front of Brennan Clancy. That's probably
Starting point is 01:23:42 probably me saying that. He would probably say you should have said that at the beginning of the podcast. Drop that in in the intro. Do a new intro. Drop that in. Boom. I don't have time travel access, so we're going to just play that at the end.
Starting point is 01:23:53 I'm proud of you, Bob. Thank you, guys.
