would you do you want to do a backflip no i feel like you've you look like someone who's
wanted to do a backflip true i just disagree i mean it's just it's just what do you think
different types of humor for different people what do you think's better the office or how
i met your mother i don't know i think if you need to put a little lead to make it you make
it sturdy go for it that's great oh man i just had like the the inner urge just like
Punch him in the face
I don't know why
Fanta
Fanta Fanta
Yeah well I think that's just
I mean New York people say Fanta
Sometimes just because
No Fanta's right
It's not Fanta
I think Fanta's right
Fanta's right
But they came out with a commercial
It was like
Don't you want to want to Fanta
And I think that
That kind of threw everyone off
And no one really knows now
I thought that was the point
How do you know that Fanta's right
Yeah how do you know Fanta's right
Fanta sounds
Do you want to look it up
Sure
I mean if they say
I don't know
If they have a commercial
That says Fanta Fanta
Don't you want to
But it's a song also
No but it's not like
Yeah, but who makes a song that intentionally mispronounces their brand name?
Yeah, I agree.
It's not like CVS goes, you know, not CVS, not CVS.
I don't know.
I mean, if all the commercials before it were pronounced a different way, would that change your mind?
I don't know.
This guy's just standing in there.
Oh, I'm just what I hear.
It's what I hear.
Oh, it's what you hear, baby.
I mean, it was created by the Nazis, so how would a German say Fanta?
Fanta.
Fanta.
How would they say Fanta, right?
Fanta.
It was a Nazi alternative to Coca-Cola.
So the A's are pronounced the same as other German words, such as lager.
So Fanta, lager.
Lager.
We don't know how that's pronounced in German.
Well, either way, lager and Fanta are way closer than lager and Fanta.
They say that it actually almost rhymes with want, but it's more like a fawn.
So yeah, Fanta, Fanta, don't you want that?
That's fair, that's fair.
Yeah, I don't know.
I thought it was Fanta.
This guy out here.
This guy picked the wrong side and stuck with it.
I'm always of the opinion that anything that the company says in their official whatever is probably going to be right.
They would have just picked a different song to rhyme with Fanta.
You could just make it Fanta, Fanta.
That song's too iconic.
It is.
They knew it was going to be a banger, bro.
Everyone knows that.
You think the guy in the boardroom heard it called Fanta and was like, oh, God, I got a genius idea.
Hold on.
Want.
Font.
Wanta, Wanta.
What are the iconic commercials, songs, or just brand songs?
A lot of them are regional.
Oh, my God.
You know what I saw the other day that brought me back in memory?
It was like the online commercial song with that chick.
Optimum, online, so fast, so fine.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
To find out my direction, you know, like that one.
Oh, Education Connection?
Yes.
Dude, I know all these bangers.
Education Connection.
I don't know this one.
Well, I mean, education, I mean.
Education Connection.
I think this was like that very early online schooling.
When online schooling or online college kind of had a stigma when it first came out.
Pick the right college for me.
Yeah, it did.
Now you could take, you know, classes.
You could do everything online.
You could take a class at Harvard.
First of all, YouTube, great college in reality.
YouTube, great college, yeah.
YouTube, great professor if you're in college.
That's the only way I learned, really.
There was a Time Warner cable song, which was good.
But again, that's like I think only New York.
What was it?
It's 877-393-4448.
That's a good one, too.
I don't think that was...
Wasn't that Optimum, too?
It was Time Warner Cable, which then became Spectrum.
There were Time Warner Cable commercials?
Those were them.
I thought Optimum always had the fire songs.
I figured that one was Optimum as well.
Well, welcome back to the Pick Your Voice podcast.
Yeah, welcome back to the Pick Your Voice podcast.
Yeah, we got a little excited there.
Yeah, we were just talking about Jingle Jangles.
Yeah, which I don't even know why.
You know, that's in two and a half...
Have you ever seen the show Two and a Half Men?
That's what Charlie Sheen's job was in that show.
He was a jingle creator.
I feel like a lot of shows, the guy that can't really do anything or is popular is just the jingle guy.
It's like, what's it called?
Maybe in How I Met Your Mother, I think Barney just randomly did a jingle one time and it's millions and millions of dollars.
That could be true.
I used to love that show so much.
And honestly, now, if you give me trivia about it, I could barely name the main characters.
That show's great.
Yeah, well, I feel like because you're a kind of, unless it's a drama or a really popular show,
well, how you make your mother's popular, you're not really a sitcom re-watcher, I feel.
Definitely not a re-watcher.
Well, the re-watchability, especially as it ages over time, gets worse and worse.
Well, you just said that you don't remember a single thing from it.
I know, and I watched the whole thing.
I loved it so much, too.
There was a lot of it, too.
There is a lot of it.
Like, pretty much, I turn on the, I watch The Office so much because I just, if I don't
want to think, I throw it on while I'm eating or something.
And these trivia questions sometimes will, I was like, I didn't even know that this existed
in this show half the time.
It's like, what's the name of the guy that brought the clipboard in episode seven?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Michael Scott funny.
Ha ha.
Laugh, laugh.
I don't know.
But I also feel like everybody who loves The Office has watched it at least five times.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've probably seen it like three or four.
It's just so popcorn, popcornable.
Popcornable.
Have you seen it?
Yeah, I've seen the whole thing,
and then I've seen many in passing over again.
I've rewatched many.
I don't know.
I'm okay with it.
I was about to say,
you strike me as someone who would go,
overrated.
Well, you can't.
I mean, it's definitely overrated in my opinion.
It's definitely not.
I mean, you can't.
To say I've watched a couple more here and there,
that's a little tough.
The Office is really, like, every,
you can't just,
oh, I'm going to watch episode three, season six, episodes, whatever.
I'm going to watch it.
I mean, you can after you've seen the whole thing.
Yeah, but he can't remember anything from How You Met Your Mother.
No, no, I remember way more.
For some reason, that's what I was saying.
That's why I pointed it out.
For some reason, How You Met Your Mother just is very unrememberable.
But I remember a lot.
I mean, The Office is, you know, like if I watch an episode of The Office,
I'll very much understand what's happening, whatever we're in.
The way you know he wasn't paying attention is because he doesn't like it
or he thinks it's overrated.
True.
I just disagree.
I mean, it's just different types of humor for different people.
What do you think is better, The Office or How I Met Your Mother?
The Office.
Well, maybe.
I mean, again, something can be.
There are many things that I think are good that I still think are overrated.
That's fine.
But my question is then, if your opinion of The Office was that, you just said How I Met Your Mother was really good.
Yeah, I loved How I Met Your Mother when I was watching it, and then I just totally dropped it and forgot about it.
Same thing with – I didn't like Friends when I was watching it, and I still don't.
Friends is – I think Friends is pretty good.
It's not –
It's not very good.
I think it's pretty good.
I had it on recently, and I went, I don't want to watch this, though.
Like, The Office is on, and I'm like, oh, The Office is on, and I'll sit or I'll do something and leave it on.
Friends, I was just like, oh.
You're getting like a decade of obscurity there, you know.
Like, Friends is pretty old.
Yeah, you've got to respect Friends for being the pioneer that allows How I Met Your Mother.
But I don't think Friends is very –
Well, yeah.
For sure.
Seinfeld allows Friends.
Right.
Pioneers can lead to other pioneers.
And Charlie Chaplin created comedy.
What are you talking about?
I'm just saying if there's sitcom pioneers here.
Also, Seinfeld kind of overrated.
Oh, for sure.
Again, there are many, many things I like that I think are overrated.
I think Rick and Morty is overrated.
I think some of – all of the best shows are overrated.
Like what?
I mean, I just gave you two examples.
I think Rick and Morty's overrated.
I think Seinfeld's overrated.
I think The Office is overrated.
Any of these things that have become people's personality,
it's like, okay, it's good, but it's not that good.
But if that's the case, then every single thing is overrated.
With that argument, every single thing is overrated,
and that's a lame-ass argument.
I don't know.
Because someone likes it, or because a couple people like it a lot
means it's overrated.
Not a couple people.
A lot of people.
A lot of people.
That means it's good.
When something's overrated, it can be overrated.
But just because the criteria for something to be overrated is a lot of people like it, that's really stupid.
No, that's not the only criteria.
But an overrated show is just, I think this show is so, so great, and I think it's okay.
So I think it's overrated.
I guess if you base it, if you bring the whole argument back to, oh, it's my opinion, yeah, it's tough to go from there.
That's what every opinion of every TV show is.
There is no, this is the best.
Everybody agrees.
I mean, that's not true.
Like, that does exist, actually.
What is it?
Whatever's the highest rated TV show on whatever.
It does exist.
It definitely doesn't.
That's just a maglumation of a bunch of people's opinions.
Exactly.
That doesn't mean it's the right opinion.
No, but then that creates science facts and math questions.
That's not how that works.
I can't follow you on this one.
No, but, like, every single thing is a maglumation.
People think the Earth's flat.
Like, people, like, everything is an amalgamation of people's opinions.
So if every single person or a lot of people think there's one show
and it is rated the best, that is the best show.
Like, that's just how that works.
Oh, I don't agree.
I disagree with that.
No.
I don't think just because the majority of people agree on something
makes it, like, the best.
I mean, objectively, I would, like, doesn't it?
I don't think there is any objectivity when it comes to what's the best.
When you say most successful or something, then, yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
But when it comes to the best, because then you have to, everyone has to agree that fucking, what is it, Avengers, which one is it?
Endgame is, like, the best movie of all time, which I do not agree with.
Well, yeah, there are still some flat earthers, but my point is, like, that's still true, though.
But it's not, though, you know.
But it is.
The movie that made the most money in the box office ever is the best movie.
So adjusted for inflation, would you say Gone with the Wind is the best movie?
Maybe.
like maybe at the time
maybe at the time
it was
if you're talking about
makes the most money
wouldn't Paranormal Activity
be the most successful
because they did it
on the lowest budget
if Avengers spent
500 million
to make a billion
but this movie
did it with like
you know
20,000 dollars
to make hundreds of millions
isn't that a more
successful movie
more ROI maybe
I'm not talking about
successful
I was talking about
best right
so like
yeah
but
if you can't put
a 200 million dollar
budget into that
imagine that had
a 200 million dollar
budget
like you know
I'm not talking about just ROI.
Yeah, it was probably the most successful.
But also just ticket sales aren't, you know, a good way to judge a movie.
I've paid for tickets for movies that I've hated.
It's what those people then say about it.
That's exactly what I'm saying.
I'm saying all that, all that.
Like all that together, not just like, oh, yeah, but this one stole a little bit
because it is the most successful, or this one, like I'm saying all of it,
all of it together.
I'm not even saying it's endgame.
My point is, like, yes, to say that's not a good indicator would be wrong.
But, like, yeah, if it made the most, but the rating's bad, all right,
well, then there's probably a better one somewhere.
That's what I'm saying.
I think all these other facts are little feathers in your cap
of why you think that that's the best movie.
But I still think there is no best.
Feathers in your cap.
A little feather in your cap.
What was that from?
What is, like, oh, a feather in your cap, Sonny.
I think it's exactly, you know, it's just like you have a boring old cap
Back when you're, I don't know, in Robin Hood days,
someone throws a feather in there and says,
you're the cool shit now.
This hat's really boring.
Put a feather in there.
Here's a feather.
No, I mean, have you ever seen a nice feather in a hat?
It looks very nice.
I'll be honest, never once.
Yes, you have.
Have I seen someone?
Imagine a green Peter Pan hat.
No, I don't.
Imagine that.
Oh, I've seen plenty of those.
I'm imagining.
What is there?
Red feather.
Exactly.
But that is not what I'm saying.
That's a feather in your hat.
That's out in the public.
No, I'm saying you've seen it.
You're talking about just fiction so far.
Have you ever seen it in your life?
I actually have.
I have a friend who's super into hats.
He goes to a haberdashery.
What the fuck is a haberdashery?
A haberdashery is a hat maker store.
Wait, is it hat-erdashery?
Haberdashery with a B.
Why isn't it haderdashery?
I don't know.
I agree with him.
I don't know.
But he goes to a haberdashery, and so he put a feather in his cap, literally.
And it was very nice.
oh man
I just had like the inner urge
to just like punch him in the face
I don't know why
why can't people wear nice caps
listen I don't know why I had the urge to punch
this guy in the face
and this isn't like a hat
this isn't like a hat that I'm wearing
this is like a hat that you wear with a suit
like it's a nice hundreds of dollars hat
you're making me more angry
I don't know I feel like
do I need therapy
why does that
why does that
why does this guy
enjoying hats
make me angry
no I don't know
I agree
it's so annoying
we could go into
couples therapy
counseling
yeah
I think you just
are judgy little bitches
I don't know
I don't think
it's judgy
I think it's
it's cause
it annoys me
that he cares so much
about
this hat on his head
it's just another way
for the men
to accessorize
that's true
and I know
in the comments
it's gonna be like
oh my god
let people enjoy
what they like
You're getting punched too, bitch.
Like, it's like.
Antonio and JT, they don't like to see joy on others.
That's not true.
That's not true.
That's not it.
Look at you.
You're glowing.
I like when people enjoy things and when they put a lot of, like, work into developing their
craft and their skill.
The hat thing pisses me off, though.
Yeah, I agree.
I've always wanted a nice cowboy hat.
Well, what's it called?
Did you see?
Jason sent me a, because we had the film early, so Jason couldn't come, and he said, we'll
definitely talk about this.
I don't know what you're doing with it, what just happened, but that, what's it, Stanley
Tumblers, how popular they are?
Yeah.
They're just making everyone a little doofy because there's lead in them now or something?
That's a claim.
A claim.
Oh, no, it's confirmed.
Well, Stanley says otherwise, but yeah.
No, no, Stanley says my way wise.
I don't know.
Here's what Stanley said.
They said that there's only a danger of lead poisoning if it gets damaged because the lead
is used in the sealing process on the metal so the the bottom plate piece or whatever if that
gets damaged then you're there is a danger of lead poisoning and you should use the warranty
to return it that's the official statement so where you're where you're here yeah but yeah
but i'm saying it's not like they have lead in them and they're making people dumb no yes no no
they are like what are you talking about i i for from what i've heard is that this is like started
a water bottle war beef
where people have said
that they have lead in them
and they are actively,
like,
if you have a Stanley tumbler,
100%,
you're drinking lead,
which is not the case.
No, of course not.
No, of course,
like, obviously not.
They would all have been recalled.
That's what,
I forgot what the other brand is,
but there's another brand,
Hydroflask,
that's basically saying
that, like,
is shooting shots, you know?
First of all,
if I was Hydroflask,
I would do that too.
Why the fuck is there lead
in the Stanley cup at all?
This is crazy.
It doesn't make any sense.
If I owned any bottle brand,
I would fire at them hard because why is there lead in there at all?
So if I drop my Stanley Cup, girls are clumsy.
I'm clumsy.
Everyone's clumsy.
You're going to knock it over.
I hear JT drop his water bottle upstairs every day.
Dude, my Hydro Flask has dents all over it from dropping it.
Their statement pissed me off, actually.
It's like, guys, guys, guys, no, it's okay.
There's only a danger of lead poisoning if you've dropped it.
It's like, what?
Are you serious?
There's lead poisoning?
There's a chance?
What?
So now as soon as you buy one, and I think they're really expensive, by the way.
I've never bought one.
I'm not doing it.
They're very expensive.
So now if you drop it and it dings a little bit or it just rolls across the ground a little bit,
you've got to go, huh, do I just throw out this $100 investment or do I drink lead?
How is that fair?
Hydroflask, everybody else, go rip them.
Go get your fucking market share up or whatever.
Get out of here.
I did see a video of a Stanley withstanding a lot of great things.
Like a lot of, let's say, strenuous conditions.
There's probably a lot of lead in there.
It's a hard metal.
Isn't how Stanley got popular in the first place was like some woman's car burned on fire and Stanley still had ice in it?
That's pretty impressive.
Her car was burned to a crisp and her Stanley beverage was still chilled.
So if you need to put a little bit of lead in there, then it is what it is.
Also, it's cheating because it's that water bottle on steroids, right?
Because the other water bottles can't even really do that because why would they risk it?
So now Stanley Cup, without telling anybody, just pumps their shit with lead.
Now they can survive fires and drops and there's lead in it.
It doesn't make any sense.
It's not fair.
Dude, I know of people, multiple, who have been, you know, like developmentally.
No, that's not the right word.
What's going on?
Developmentally disabled.
Is that the right word?
Because of Stanley Gump.
Because of lead poisoning.
Oh, because of lead poisoning.
I was like, what the fuck?
Jesus.
I was like, all right, now I believe you.
No, not because of Stanley's, but somehow or another, they had lead poisoning as a kid
and essentially made them dumber.
Well, didn't it used to be in paints and all kinds of shit?
Yeah, it was in everything.
It was in everything.
So the fact that, I don't know, the Stanley thing just pissed me off.
It's like they're working to remove lead in their manufacturing process.
All right.
Yeah.
I'm sure they are after this PR nightmare.
Yeah.
If they find out again.
Plus, if Hydroflask can do the same thing without it, then there's no need for Stanley.
Yeah.
But your Hydroflask looks like it went through the war.
I haven't seen a Stanley Cup look like that.
So maybe that is why.
Like, they don't dent that much.
Maybe it is.
Do you really?
No, no.
They just used lead in the vacuum sealing process.
What does that mean?
Oh, behind the metal.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
So if the metal cracks a little bit, the lead could get through.
Yeah.
And Hydroflask already released a, I guess it's called a tumbler.
Hydroflask released the same thing.
It's a tumbler, yeah.
They released the same thing without lead.
So again, I'm sure Stanley can do it.
I don't know.
I think if you need to put a little lead to make it sturdy, go for it.
That's crazy.
This cup's got a good base.
This cup's got a good base.
So you just hit the top of the cup.
Cup's got a good pace.
Yeah, back in the day, everything was made with lead, and everything could hurt you.
A lot of things can hurt you now, but a little bit less.
I still think, I know I'm putting my brain back there, but I just think people were really dumb back then.
Because I still think I would look at paint and go, I'm not going to eat that.
Well, no, obviously.
I don't know.
As a kid.
Yeah, as a four-year-old child, you would do that?
Yeah, I think so.
I mean, you're built different.
You ever eat, like, Play-Doh or any other toy that you were not supposed to put in your mouth?
Play-Doh is edible.
It's non-toxic.
It's not edible.
But what if, like, I'm sure at some point there was some kind of, like, a lot of toys are made with lead.
And Play-Doh's a toy, and I've tasted it.
I tasted it when I was a kid.
I'll be honest.
I made a little burger, and I ate it.
It tasted terrible, by the way.
Yeah, Play-Doh doesn't taste great.
But the toys with lead, I'm not saying anything about that.
That's just rude.
That's just rude.
You're setting them up to fail there.
It's a booby trap.
I put things in my mouth.
I shouldn't now
when I was a kid
and I saw a little
rubber duck
god I'm shoving that
in my mouth
it just is what it is
why were toys
made with lead
I don't know
are they talking about
like trucks
I guess
what about pencils
I mean what about
if your parents
were giving you pencils
when you were
an infant
there's no lead
in a pencil
yeah it's graphite
it is called lead
though for some reason
I always thought
it was lead
to the point where
my mom
not hard to convince
my mom of things
my mom thought
it was lead as well
and my sister
stabbed me in the hand
with a pencil
and it went in
it's like it's in there
and my mom cried
for about a day
because she thought
I was gonna
I don't know why
yeah
it must have used
to be a ladder
but isn't lead
really heavy
lead balloon right
that's about the whole thing
because you can't
have a lead balloon
even though Mythbusters
did do a lead balloon
yeah but Mythbusters
they cheat a lot
if you really watch the show
how do they cheat
they do cheat a lot
they're like
this is what would
actually happen
and that segment's a minute
and it's like
now we're gonna blow it up
it's like
how is that cheating
because
they don't
they cheat a little bit
They cheat a little bit.
They need to have a show.
Basically, I know what you mean.
Sometimes the actual myth itself will be busted almost immediately,
and then they'll tweak it and say, well, this is the second closest thing.
That's because they're making a program.
No, I'm not.
They're making a television program.
They're making good television.
I'm not.
And they acknowledge that it's not true.
I'm not ragdolling.
It's not like they're saying, but it is true this way.
Kind of.
It's not.
Kind of.
Also, every time they slammed plausible on a thing, it's like, well, all right.
Like, because plausible means a lot.
Well, theoretically, it could.
I was like, all right.
That show, like, came out and was coming out kind of at the dawn of, like, fake internet videos, too, or at least somewhat near the beginning.
So I remember, like, ridiculous myths that now if you saw the video, you go, obviously, that's fucking fake.
But they were testing ridiculous myths, like this one guy who could run across water.
Who was testing it?
Mythbusters.
Oh, I thought you said internet.
Oh, I was confused there.
All right.
The prank videos, or what you said first.
Like fake internet videos.
Like there was a video going around the internet of a guy running on water.
If any of us saw that right now, we'd go, obviously that's fake.
Like, are you an idiot?
But this is kind of when that fake internet videos were going around at the time like that.
So, I don't know.
I remember being a kid and watching this and thinking, oh my God, that guy's walking on water.
I hope this is plausible.
Obviously it's not.
He's just running across like a glass plane under the water.
chris angel shit you know yeah yeah well i guess i guess it is interesting that back then we would
just see a video and be like that's pretty crazy who knows who i don't know what's going on there
but that's pretty crazy now you see a video and it's like i start with the assumption that it's
not real yeah same totally flipped no i like starting that it is real i like that and then
and then i and then i look i like starting no like then you really look like oh his hand kind
of glitched there pretty much every 99 of the boston dynamics robots video the the people
corridor crew i don't know if you know them the cgi graphics youtuber guys made a uh like a prank
a joke video about the boston dynamics thing and it looks really good and that faked i would say
everybody like every i just saw because then you would clip it and it would look good and then i
saw people i knew reposting their video and going this is why robots gonna take over the world i'm
I'm like, this is, and I, this is possible.
I only really knew because I saw the video
because it does look good, but it's like,
God, it's so easy to, trick people our age, it's easy.
My parents do, my dad will send me every single thing.
I'm like, it's fake, dude, it's fake.
Stop, stop sending me this, it's fake.
And honestly, the even crazier part is that
the Boston Dynamics things are not to that level,
but very close.
They're very scary.
They're real, and they're scary.
Yeah, the thing is, like, you don't, you,
you don't need to fake it
the only reason
you have to fake it
is so we can have one
right like
oh there's one in this room
but they're right there
like they're
they're fucking hopping on
dude if I saw
the Boston Dynamics robot
they have now
it could like
jump across buildings
and shit
I'd be like
what the fuck is going on
dude I saw one do a flip
that might have been fake
no they do that
that might have been the fake
that's the real one
yeah that's the real one
the real one did a flip
it's doing parkour and shit
dude watch the real
Boston Dynamics robot
jump across boxes
like Ninja Warrior
I was like god damn
the most recent one
did like an entire
ninja warrior course even like the first one yeah i'm talking about stepping on that those it was
crazy for some reason those look the scariest because it was like i don't know it doesn't
have arms i don't think yeah it's it's just i think it looks scary because it's like these are
incredibly human movements for a fridge that it's yeah it looks like this piece of steel is doing
and like athletic human like most people couldn't do that oh no only an athletic person how many
people could do a backflip the robot's already doing that and then sprinting it's like i can't
do that and it used to just 10 years ago was this dumb little dog that would just hop around and
now it's the fucking parkour ninja i would like one of those robot dogs i would like those what's
harder a backflip or a front flip definitely front flip you want to try why is that if backflip you
can see where you're landing front flip if it's going wrong you see you either see the ground or
just the sky you know no that's true i see what you're saying there and backflips like you could
You can do a backflip in place pretty easily.
A frontflip, you kind of either need like a ledge to do it off of
or like a running start unless you're really good.
I do feel like a frontflip is harder but safer.
Does that make sense?
So I think even now I could kind of get myself to land on my back.
I can't do a frontflip.
Cannot do one.
I think it's the initial like tuck forward feels easier.
The completion of it feels hard.
That's what I'm saying.
A backflip, if you land on your lever here or whatever, your neck crank, whatever it is, that's tough.
But a frontflip, I think I could get and just land on my back at least.
I think I could get my head up in my ass.
They say a backflip's scarier, but it's easier.
Okay, that makes sense.
So it might be more of a mental block.
But physically, a frontflip is just so much harder.
This is all making sense to me.
No, yeah.
Do you want to do a backflip?
No.
I feel like you look like someone who's wanted to do a backflip.
I used to be able to do it.
Really?
Yeah.
I had like a little like, you know, I thought I was a parkour guy phase.
Okay.
I think everybody kind of did that a little bit.
Have you heard about Austin Butler?
You know, the guy who played Elvis?
I know of him.
So this guy, Austin Butler, played Elvis.
And for two years, he like studied and like, I guess, what is it called?
Like method acted.
Okay.
To try to nail the Elvis voice down, and now he can't get rid of it.
He's hired a linguistic coach.
Dialect?
Sure.
I don't know why I said linguistic, but he hired a dialect coach to try to help him get rid of his Elvis voice.
Damn.
And it's crazy.
You see fucking interviews from him, 2019 to now, and he sounds like a totally different person.
He's like, oh, hi, pretty mama.
Just fucking buy it from the cashier.
Thank you for my bacon, egg, and cheese.
Some people are calling him like, I don't know.
They're just saying like, just stop talking like that.
But I disagree.
I think if you talk like something for two years straight, it's hard to kick that.
I'll be honest.
I would be one of the people like, just fucking talk normal.
Talk normal.
Fourth punch.
No.
It's hard to kick that.
No, I agree.
It's like the people that live in a different part of the country you're not used to for three, four years.
You start to pick up a little twang, I guess.
You know, it makes sense.
Truly, yeah.
Your friend lives in fucking the south, and they come back, start saying y'all all the time.
Oh, I didn't know where that was going.
I didn't think y'all was coming out for a second.
They start saying y'all in Carmel.
Carmel.
Carmel.
That's only fair, honestly, especially after, like, if you've lived somewhere for a decade,
you're bound
you're almost going to lose your original
accent totally. Yeah for sure
now I'm talking about
you know some dweeb that played Elvis for
two years not obviously he had to
go home and talk normally at some points but
whatever. Actors are fucking weird.
First of all I don't think that's obvious. If you're getting
paid you know whatever it's
$10-20 million
you talk as Elvis forever.
I'll talk like Elvis fucking however long
you want baby. Did it win anything?
I don't know.
What is it, like an Oscar or something?
Yeah, something, anything.
Well, if he didn't win anything on top of that, loser.
Like, now you have to talk like Elvis who didn't even win anything.
Like, you could have calmed down on the Elvis who apparently didn't do much anyway, you know?
I kind of, I hate that, that, I don't know.
That annoys me a lot of times.
I feel like a lot of the time, actors just say these things to, like, show how committed they are.
It's like, did that really help you?
Well, it's all PR, right, I guess?
because now it's like look how uh hard i'll you know take your role other directors that want me
in the movie which makes sense that's fine marketing yourself but now also it's like now
i sound like elvis though whatever movie you put me in next so it's like you know it's give and take
it's like how like leonardo dicaprio like made sure to let everybody know all the things he did
for the revenants exactly he slept in the horse and even though he was like vegetarian at the time
he ate a bunch of fucking bison liver see see that's that's what i'm talking about see but now
And he won an Oscar for it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm going back around.
That's worth it.
He won an Oscar.
I was looking at Oscar winners, and I realized it's really hard.
I didn't realize how hard it is to win an Oscar.
Not that many.
Oscar schmosker.
Not that many.
I'm just saying.
I mean, to win an Oscar, I guess, to win the lead role Oscar, incredibly hard.
It's one a year.
Yeah.
And besides that, all the people that win are pretty much old bats.
But it kind of proves my point is that, like, if that's the reason he won,
it wasn't even because of his acting ability necessarily.
It was because of all these things he said he did or really did to prepare for this acting role.
Well, I mean, whatever.
It's the PR thing.
I think it's more like he's trying to negate a tie, you know?
It's like if this acting was good and this acting was good, this guy slept in a horse carcass.
That doesn't make any sense.
Well, because you're so –
You're immersing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But the best actor award, you shouldn't even need these external factors to like – oh, I watched this movie.
I watched this movie.
Who was the better actor?
It's not, oh, well, let me know the backstory.
What did he do to prepare for his role?
Like it doesn't – to me that doesn't make – the award should go to the best actor.
Well, I think because he won – this is why it's a different argument.
Because he won, I think that all mattered in the sense of, oh, now you look at the movie and there's a scene where he's getting into a fucking horse.
and that scene is him getting into a horse.
You know, like, that's in the movie.
That's a part of it.
That's why I think in this scenario it matters.
Like, he's actually not acting.
He's getting...
That makes him a worse actor.
I agree.
That makes him a worse actor.
Or he's such a good actor that he's not even Leo anymore.
He's this character and he's getting into a literal horse.
And it's in the movie.
But you shouldn't need to know the backstory for that to be reflected.
You should be...
When you're watching, you should be so in awe of his acting abilities.
And then maybe after you hear, oh, his acting was so good because –
No, but I feel like you're not listening here.
No, I'm saying –
I'm saying it is because you look at that scene and you go, god damn, how'd they do that?
That looks really good.
What the fuck?
Wow, this movie looks really good.
How'd they do that?
And then you find out, oh, you already know it looked good and it was good.
So you already – your part you're saying already there, and now you go, oh, it looks that good because he got into a fucking horse?
Yeah, that's why it makes sense.
Again, worse actor, but –
Why does he have to get into a pretend horse?
He has to act like this is a real horse?
Like, oh, Nelly.
And then he has to get in?
Yes, he's an actor.
What do you mean?
He has to act?
Yes, I'm sorry.
I mean, you still got to do something.
No, it's like when you're deciding the best movie of the year,
you shouldn't – the factors that come into play shouldn't be like,
oh, these little behind-the-scenes stuff.
Oh, this one day on set, this happened.
Like, none of that should matter.
It's like I watched all the movies, and this is the best one.
Actually, no, I got another point to that.
Sorry.
I want Dan to say his opinion.
But he could have easily
You're talking about best actor
You're leading the movie
You're not in charge of the movie per se
But you're driving this movie forward
And he could have easily said
Leo number three
Get in that fucking horse
And he did it
That's important too
If you're talking about best actor
The horse is kind of
It's a little abstract
But what about
Someone like Christian Bale
who, like, lose fucking 100 pounds
and go on these crazy diets
to really, like, encapsulate this person
that he's trying to play.
Like, I feel like that is a very similar thing
and is worth something
when you're talking about a performance.
Like, he didn't just have fucking makeup make him frail.
This man fucking ate one cucumber a day
and, like, lost 100 pounds.
Like, that's crazy.
I think it's a little different, but...
It'd be funny if, on his own,
like how Austin Butler went to practice Elvis,
on his own, Leo, out of character,
went to a horse ranch and got in a horse
to then know what it's like
and then come back to set and get in the fake horse.
And then he got in the fake horse
and then it was so unbelievable
and it's like, yeah, I've done this before, that's why.
And it's like, whoa, that's more impressive.
Whoa, dude.
He went and experienced the real thing
so that he could try to recreate it from memory.
But then I think everybody would go,
if you were going to do that in a way,
why not just...
Well, aren't you not allowed to hurt animals on film?
That's what I'm saying.
So I'm confused.
Now I'm confused if it was a real horse, actually.
I never heard this horse thing until you guys brought it up today.
Don't you guys me.
That guy over there.
I know he like.
It's definitely that he got in the real horse.
That's the thing.
And I think, you know, you just find a dead horse.
I mean, they die all the time.
They're horses.
Go find a dead horse, Danny.
Oh, my God.
I can find a dead horse.
First of all, if you give him a $200 million movie budget, he'll find a dead horse.
I can find a dead horse.
You just go to every stable in America and say,
hey, you got any ones that are about to kick the bucket?
That's not a dead horse.
That's an almost dead horse.
And in a few weeks, it will be a dead horse.
I got to look it up now.
All right, well then.
Oh, you go to a horse that broke its leg.
The horse was built and the gut.
This is a fake horse.
See, I never heard this.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Keep reading.
Keep reading.
It's not a fake horse.
But they filled it with real guts.
OK, yeah, there we go.
That's not the same.
That's a real horse.
That's not the same.
That's a real horse.
Hold on.
Let's look into this a little bit.
This is probably more of a camera thing.
You know, like you can't put a fucking big camera into a horse carcass.
So you build a fake horse and put real horse guts in it.
If I did that, I'd say I slept inside of a horse.
The bison liver was real.
It wasn't a real horse carcass, but still, the horse was built,
and the guts inside were created of latex and hair.
Okay, so it was real.
Wait, so it's not a real horse at all?
First of all, don't Danny me.
He read something 10 seconds ago that said it was real horse guts.
I read the little Google-like thing that they cut off.
You read the one that Danny reads.
Yeah.
Which, by the way, Google, is supposed to be the answer.
That's supposed to be the answer.
He had pieces of pork, not horse, smeared with lube slapped in his face.
I don't know why they had to slap him with it.
I guess to get the splatter effect.
Yeah, I don't know.
Okay, so not a real horse.
Not a real horse carcass.
Wait, hold on.
That means he's a better actor.
Because he believes that.
I agree.
I agree.
Full circle.
Because he convinced all of us at this table
That it was real
Well really Danny convinced me
So Danny's a good actor
I'd like to thank the Academy
I'll fight for you any day Leo
Although I'm almost at my expiration date for him
I think you are

I thought he was done at 25
You've been expired for a minute babe
Yeah he's not gonna fuck you okay
Stop defending him
He might still do that
It's more like won't show him in public
