Tomorrow, if you're watching this on Friday. And if it's on Saturday, you still have time. Welcome to Sad Boys, a podcast about feelings and other things also. I'm Jarvis. I'm Jordan. And today on a very special episode. Is it one of those ones?

It's like, oh, drugs. This is the episode after Thanksgiving. So it's coming out Friday. Thanksgiving's Thursday. We're recording this on Monday. And it's actually Tuesday. We're recording it for a long time. Jarvis is sleepy.

I'm sleepy. My Monday is also Tuesday. Yeah. Because I'm running on empty. Well, we do three days in a day for efficiency. Every one of my days is an extra day. My first day, Monday. My second day of the week is actually Tuesday. And I don't really want to go.

It's a very long and complicated process to figure out my other days. But there's 12 in a week. I don't want to – don't ask how to go it's a very long and complicated process to figure out my other days but there's 12 can i in a week yeah i don't want to don't ask how i get there it involves a lot of complicated tetrahedrons your powers may i present something to the to the community okay including our special guest we have a special guest it's the intern hey but with a different voice okay all right i don't like the new you uh that's kind of fucked up no i'm gonna report that to hr no no because personally in this books i can we be done with sundays the first day of the week is that the is that what we say can we just be done with that that's not right true in my heart yeah monday's the first day of the week in my heart and i hate it i don't garfield would not hate Sundays.

I feel like if we eliminated Sunday and Monday, the world would be a better place. Then where's God going to go? Where do you put God? Because God comes first. Oh, yeah. Where he lives. God comes first, so where do you put God? You put first.

Yeah, Monday. For me, God is every day. Wow. What do you mean? That's really deep. But if you're taking away Sunday, that's the first day. For me, God is every day. Wow. What do you mean? That's really deep. But if you're taking my son, that's the first day. For me, God is dog spelled backwards.

My only real God is Ricky Gervais. Ever heard of him? Well, you know, Ricky Gervais and Jarvis, we have the same German root of our names. An ideology. So essentially, they're the same name. Wow. Yeah.

Austin, hello. Hey, what's up? Austin's here. Sad Boys editor extraordinaire. His energy is electric. Yeah, right off the plane. You're the shorts god. The lord of thumbnails.

He's only wearing shorts. Well, no. I don't want to. I'm taking them off. I have to call HR a second time. We're only two minutes time. He still sucks. You're sleepy, yes? Yeah, I'm a little tired.

So Dan's sleepy. Your arms are tired because you flew here? How long was your flight? It's like five hours here. And then it's like four and a half. I could do that in my sleep. Yeah, you did. I flew the plane.

Did you sleep? Did I sleep on that plane? No, I had to fly... You did, I think... I flew the plane, I had to. Did you sleep? Did I sleep on that plane? No, I had to fly it. Oh, man. Well, I mean, hey, autopilot these days. No, but he was like, he was going to be sick. He's like, I need someone to take over. And I just was like, okay, well, I can land this.

Is there a pilot on the plane? Yeah, I've seen Captain Phillips. I've seen planes before. Oh, you've seen Captain Phillips. This is... I've said on the podcast before, I have the completely ridiculous notion that I could not be waterboarded.

I would just hold my breath. But my instincts just tell me I'm right that I could not be waterboarded. I would just hold my breath. But my instincts just tell me I'm right. I could totally do it. And my other one is, I could probably figure out some planes. I think I could as well. Once it's up, no problem. I've actually flown a plane. No way.

I swear to God. Do you want to make the very apt comparison that Anastasia's life is like Mad Libs? I am going to quit the podcast. This is becoming absurd. But it was like a tiny four-seater Cessna.

Not a two-seater though. So double the smallest. My sister was in the back. There was an actual pilot. Going to crash this plane. Sorry, I've been playing a bunch of super auto pets and there's horses in that game and every time i put a horse in the bag i just go i got the horses in the back and you look around just you're in the dark so now it's just at the top of mind

please continue i'm so sorry for interrupting you uh an actual pilot was in the pilot seat and I was in the co-pilot seat. And he took the plane up and then he was like, okay, you take over. And he just told me what to do. And then he landed the plane. And then he ejected himself. He's like, see you loser. He's been really sad all day. He's like, this is my stop he like opens the door i was

flying him over mexico and he said that he had like a stroke and then someone in the back was pregnant and had to deliver a baby and you landed it i would still you flew the plane with your feet delivered the baby we're gonna find out on a different episode of sad boys that you have delivered a baby don't tell us now and we're gonna find out it was on that plane yeah actually i know for literally earlier today that you have been involved in that that's insane not i didn't see it um twice i believe we did have a conversation anastasia is our producer extraordinaire who is off screen by choice hi yes um don't get mad at the boys and they didn't force me off screen has every has had every job you You're like Barbie.

Like, I feel like we should just get, oh, that would be a sick, like, birthday gift. Get Anastasia a Barbie. President Anastasia. Anastasia doing every job. Every job that Anastasia's done. And then on the back, we can have, like, the link that says, like, Pornhub.com, wherever, like, the Wicked one. Oh, Wicked.com. Okay, that's a reference to a previous episode where.

Yeah, it's a callback. The, there was a controversy because the wicked Barbie dolls had like seemingly placeholder text that just said wicked.com. And it turns out wicked.com is a porn website, but also maybe it's a conspiracy. A lot of people want to believe in conspiracy. So I'll let them go do that. But. Whoa. A conspiracy sound

I'm like how was I going to hear that Vsauce Michael here that's just Jacob's ringtone speaking of Wicked can we talk about Wicked yes I haven't seen it yet is it good? Wicked

I want to preface this by saying I didn't know anything about Wicked. I've never listened to it. I've never seen the play. I've never read the book. I knew literally nothing about it, except that it was somehow related to the Wizard of Oz. Right. What?

Oh, thanks a lot. I thought we were going to have differing opinions here, and we went into it the exact same way then. Okay. But I was like, this is good. It's fun. It's interesting. The performances of the two main women, so good. Yeah, I agree.

I also don't really know a whole lot about Ariana Grande, but she was so good. Yeah, she was awesome. Ariana Grande is, I mean, I like Ariana Grande from a musical standpoint and from like, I've enjoyed her work. Like, I think she's extremely talented. Same. Her comedic timing in this film is so good.

And I mean, hey, that's that. I mean, she's been at it as a young person. And then Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba. I actually saw Wicked, I think, in London. Like the play? On the West End. On the West End. Oh, my God.

In like 2013. Was it a workout in? I'm actually curious. When did I see London and where. When did I see, I was just, when did I see London and where? When did I see The Wizard? I'm pretty sure. Off to see him.

But the thing is, I don't remember very much, but it was, I remember really enjoying it, not thinking I would because I was much younger and like, meh,

who needs, meh, who needs theater? The wildest stage experience I've had uh like watching a show was the school of rock musical which which was good but school of rock is one of my favorite movies and i know the movie so well that watching the stage production was strange every time they start singing it was no it was just so close to the movie script wise uncanny that i that i was like forced to think about the movie while i was watching it yes

because i had such a like wrote now i'm comparing school of rock to wicked is very funny uh just in concept but like that type of thing was like hard for me and then also the lead actor who's extremely talented uh is forced to do like it's impossible to not like be compared to jack black who is like kind of a one-of-one type of performer i feel so you're either doing a jack black impression or trying to go a different direction with it and you can't because the role is like so like it is him it is him yeah um but sidebar i see jack black in my neighborhood all the time i guess jack black has kind of become persona non grata because he like sold out his bud and he's been dead for five years you see him all the time does he walk around with like the

cargo shorts past the knees and then like a no like a diamond pickaxe does he walk around with that like little saxophone he presses the buttons on at late night? No, I think his personal style as he walks around my neighborhood is different than I think his like public style. It is much more like colorful and he wears a little backpack and he has super long hair and a super long beard.

What do you think of wearing a backpack? The anesthesia doesn't know you can put stuff in it. Someone's wearing this giant square. It's just an accessory. Sorry if I'm all over the place. I love it. I didn't really sleep. Oh, dude.

It's a problem. It's like jazz. We tried to invert. You were the no sleep bastard. By necessity, unfortunately, I had some stuff to get done but but you did it but but we did it and now we're here and let's talk about wicked so all i know is the memes uh theoretically i know what the musical is about but i can't remember very much of it and i saw it 10 years ago years ago. I don't know if I'm just like, maybe I've lost some patience or engagement.

I don't know what it is. I found myself very difficult to immerse myself in anything for more than an hour. Like to really get into any fiction, any real event, once we're past an hour, I get it. And literally the reason I don't go to, I don't think I've been to a concert or a music show

in double digits years because I sat, I'm like, oh, we're doing the whole album? I kind of want to get going. I don't know if I want to be in this for that long. See, I'm like the opposite. I go to see movies in the movie theater i go to see bands live because i have more patience when i'm forced in darkness i agree with that something i 100% agree with that like movie theater is like the last place my little adhd brain can focus

because i there it's like a sensory deprivation tank yeah exactly where if i've been my funnel my attention is forced to be funneled into just the screen i know it's like the era of uh only in theaters this this week i know that era has now passed but i do kind of miss it because going there are so many movies i know I would have loved that I have on infinite hiatus because I'm waiting for them to come back in theaters

for me to have a set up that works to watch it with someone else because I can't I know for a fact I'm not going to pay attention to it one thing that made me

feel old very early on in my life was starting to not want to stand for a long time that kills me actually that was wild that is so true that's real I'm supposed to do want to stand for a long time. That kills me, actually. That was wild.

That is so true. That's real. I'm supposed to do physio for my knees always since the diagnosis leaded, yes. And I just haven't. And my place is a lot of stairs. And I recently, there's been like, I'm out of the Pokemon Go game. Because I just can't really stand up for more than an hour a day. Like, if I walk longer than that, like, it's going to hurt tomorrow.

And until I get back into the physio and fix them, there's been, like, a couple of times, there's been a couple of events, and Katie's like, do you want to go to Santa Monica? I'm like, I do. I can't. Like, I will be a drain in the same way that, I think we talked about it last week, where, like, sometimes you will cancel plans or

we'd want to move away from something not because the people involved are people i don't want to be around right the event isn't something i'd like but literally that i am not going to be a good improv partner to that event right i am going to be the drain that i would not want to bring to something i am desperately trying to find i know i took at least a photo when I like outside of going to see Wicked whenever I saw it. And I'm going to give up in just a moment. But in case you're curious what I'm up to, that's what. Like in front of the marquee. I just I know I have this like vivid memory.

The one thing I'll say about Wicked as well, add to it. Personally, I thought it was about like 30 minutes too long. Oh, for sure. That's the consensus i've heard you know what's funny i i someone told me this so fact check me if you want but uh it was two hours and 40 minutes this film and that's a little bit longer than the play itself and it's only part one and it's only part one yeah that's why i didn't market it either as part it's like i found out from my friends who are big musical fans the spider verse your ass yeah oh that's what i was marketed either as part it's like i found out from my friends who are

big musical fans spider verse your ass yeah oh that's that was heartbreaking by the way maybe if in that part they said uh part one see you in the new president it's gonna be a long my friend echo who was sitting next to me didn't know it was part one until the title comes on screen and then there's a little part she pointed and she looked at me and i was like yeah i don't know maybe it's because i mean they couldn't there's really nothing else you can put with the term in the so they just had to go part one or two they should do like what is it uh into the spider-verse through the spider-verse what's the second one called i I always mix it up I honestly

I don't know Across Yeah Spider-Man Look at that multiverse Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse Across the Spider-Verse

Across the Spider-Verse Yeah I believe it is across And then the third one should I guess they ran out Because it's only reloaded I mean they did it with Dune They did Dune part one And then Dune part two

They just straight up Put it in the title And it was like They should have done two Three is Dune your mom Did you Dune part two. They just straight up put it in the title. And three is Dune your mom. Dude, you got it. That reminds me. On Facebook, I was looking for the only photos that I can find in London.

This is 2014, and it's just a photo of Big Ben that says, London, I've never Big Ben. Oh, you hadn't been? And then the other photo I took was a 124 scale model of Hogwarts because I went to the Harry Potter like tour thing. That's way too small to live in. Yeah. Well, they were a little, they were tinier wizards.

Oh, that makes sense. Actually, they never clarify how big the wizards are. I kept making Harry Potter jokes to my friends watching Wicked. I was like, so when does the hat come when they put them in the places or whatever? And your friends were pissed. They were like, that's in part two. They wanted me to leave. They're like, dude, they split it up.

Stop. I'm still upset about it. Dude, we don't know you. Let go of my hand. I'm trying to watch a movie. What about the big dog or whatever that guards the snakes or whatever? What is that? It sounds like you also don't know Harry Potter.

I know it. The big dog. No, I know it. It's like the one with the. Come on. He makes pottery, right? Yeah. And he's covered in hair.

He's her suit. He's her suit. Ceramicist. Oh, Jesus. I just noticed. There's a hole in my sock. Okay. I'm officially giving up.

Can we zoom in on... No, don't turn the phone on my phone. People already make fun of my weird clown feet. Do you want some some of the bombas we have in the cabinet I actually have a second pair of socks with me

I always bring two let's watch this interview the one thing that I have seen is this interview with Ariana and Cynthia this almost feels like when you want to watch a review for something. So you go and see it. I don't even know.

I don't even know what possessed me to watch this cliff when it came across my feed, but the degree to which this improved my quality of life over the past few days is remarkable. So if you haven't seen it, imagine a black void. If you haven't seen it, this is an interview that they did with Out.com during the Wicked Press Tour. One of the regular couple stars together having fun.

They probably have like a game called like, can you guess the number of beaches? And this is probably one of like 100 interviews they did this day. It's probably 7 a.m. Yeah. I've seen this week people are taking the lyrics of Defying Gravity and really holding space with that and feeling power in that. I didn't know that that was happening. I've seen it. Yeah. That's really powerful.

That's why I want it. Holding the finger I've seen it on a couple posts as the credits that's cool that is cool there's a lot of things about this that catapulted it into meme superstardom

it's edited like a YouTube boob it's edited like a youtube boob it's like a youtube it literally looks like a fake edit though it keeps cutting to different angles between two ferns like like zach galifianakis interviews um the uh ariana comforts Cynthia by grabbing onto her index finger. We've all been there. She says that this week people have been holding space for the lyrics of Defying Gravity. Which is what? What does that mean? And it's what I wanted. Also, it is a 20-year-old song.

Well, they really should have been holding space for it until it came out again. they don't have to hold the space yeah dude the space was vacant for so long but then also cynthia's response being so grand and so like emotionally profound i don't know what's the word i want likeved. Cynthia's so moved by this revelation. Which I am struggling to translate at all still, kind of. And she says, that's what I wanted, which is like, what does that even mean? It'd be better if she was like, for fuck's sake, I don't want them holding space. No, I don't want that. But then the interviewer is clearly taken aback. So then they almost back off their own thing by being like well it was

a couple of posts yeah because it has the exact energy of that uh we really need a mamala right now but then it's like if kamala then went oh yeah okay and then drew barrymore went okay we do need a mamala right all right relax well no it's like if uh drew barrymore was like we need a mamala right now and kamala was like, that's what I wanted. Okay, all right, let's chill out. Don't go crazy. I mean, I... I did a couple posts. But then, obviously, this is just a funny sort of lightning.

I don't think anyone did anything wrong here. It's just such a funny lightning in a bottle moment. Sorry, I just have to say, when it's just a shot of her, she looks like she's tiny. It looks like a huge, tiny journalist's name. Cynthia Gilchrist. Yeah, Tracy.

Tracy Gilchrist. Another thing about this now, so this has become a huge meme. There's like a million. I was blowing up our group chat with my entire twitter feed just became holding space for the lyrics to define gravity memes and then photos of the finger which is what you wanted uh which is what i wanted and now this journalist is like talking about

merch for this they also in an interview reveal this was wild to me this quote do you recall any of the potent so they call her on it an interview of this journalist do you recall any of the posts that inspired your question for cynthia and ariana should we talk about the lyrics of defying gravity by the way oh yeah something has changed within me something i can't explain how do you know exactly you're gonna ask that because there's a little show called glee the first time i heard defy gravity was leah michelle leah michelle and um whoever was singing it with her anyway um do you recall do you recall any of the posts that inspired your question for cynthia and ariana most of it actually came from a conversation with a friend that is not a post that's a lie then i was using that to tee up the

question you which is very funny because you're like you're trying to say something that's like kind of basic uh yeah so the streets are saying you know what i heard yeah and that's just a way of saying you know i'm people are people talking about it um also that's everything in an interview i was trying to tee up the it wasn't just an unrelated anecdote that i saw yeah i got a danish this morning that's what i wanted when someone when someone um that's you pointing at the glass of the danish and then there's a danish sized hole holding space for the missing danish there's a danish dish that's empty and you point and you go, that's what I wanted.

Why'd you have that? Give me. I was a little thrown off by Cynthia's response because it was so sincere and real. What did you want? I understand being thrown off because if you think you're doing an off-the-cuff thing and then someone has like a large emotional reaction to it, you're kind of like, whoa. Okay, Jesus. Yeah, I actually just got back from vacation.

I remember the last vacation I took with my family before the event. Oh, Jesus. Okay. I mean, I was, sorry, did I say vacation? I meant stay racing. Yeah, I was, well, I died racing. Oh, I was, oh, shit. It was a NASCAR event.

Fuck. I killed him. Wait, what? Yeah, I got a little flustered i had a big reaction i was i was a little flustered i could have said i have all these friends and this is our conversation but instead i said i'm in queer media that's the other part is at the end she says i'm in queer media which also people are uh playing. But this also like is so relatable. It's like me saying, oh yeah, I read this article.

And then someone's like, oh, what article was it? And I'm like, I actually read a tweet. I saw a screenshot of an article. You caught me. I don't know how to read. Those are situations where I almost as it's coming out of my mouth i know i want to say i was like reading something and i'm like i was listening to a podcast let's be honest you know it's like i wasn't reading shit and if i read it it was a headline i was watching cnn well i was watching a cut down of a song watching cnn yeah yeah i wasn't

so much watching it as my comfort youtuber was watching it, and I was there. I was sleeping while listening. I was getting immediately heat checked on if you actually read it. Well, actually, I was just having dinner when what I mean is I was eating over the sink and crying. My flight just got delayed by like 30 minutes, and they went on the loudspeaker, and they told everyone. They didn't give us a reason. Like, they didn't give us a reason. But in my head, I can only imagine that the pilots are probably taking the lyrics of Defying Gravity

and holding space with them, and that's what's taking so long right now but i just i don't think they want to tell us that but i'm pretty sure that's what's happening this is a funny thing that happens where uh you know obviously this could have been a tweet but there's a funny thing that happens when there's a meme like this i can't remember if i tweeted anything where i just drafted and deleted because it is a land grab basically it's one of those times where every joke is acceptable and all you have to do is be

fast it's kind of a plug in too right you just plug it into whatever like it's like a surprise not now sweetie mommy is taking the lyrics of defining gravity yeah it's like run through not now sweetie mommy is taking the lyrics of defining gravity yeah it's like exactly run through the templates what what do we have advice animals like i don't know that this is a tweet but i bet someone said sorry i'm late i was

busy holding space for the 100% gravity you know what i mean like somebody was able to snipe that early and it's like okay we gotta work what other real estate is available faceless twitter accounts that just have like the insert mad lib. This one's funny, though. I love this one. This one is really funny. I love these ones where it's like, who knows what to do with this space in my home? Those are always funny.

Because this one, I do feel that it requires a little bit of a lateral thought to get there. Yeah, this is some work. And it's unexpected. You think this literal space isn't going to be connected right you're not expecting to read that i mean at this point now everything i'm expecting to read if it's the day yeah what is that what are the what's everyone's diagnosis for what that means because i'm i i'm curious Everyone's been holding space for the lyrics. So after much research and reading the interviewer's quote, I think what she's saying is being a queer person in queer media with queer friends, that these lyrics are very powerful for someone who has been othered their whole life.

It is a more contemporary poetic way of saying it's resonating with people. Yes. Because holding space is like a, it's one of those things that's like borderline medical. It's therapy street. Yeah, it's treated like pragmatic. That's fine.

I mean, like that's immediately where I go is like talking about with my therapist about like a single point of attention and like holding space for my feelings and my thoughts and sitting with them and like what do they mean? How do they affect me? All that stuff. And so applying it to the lyrics of a musical is is funny on its face but like of course the lyrics of a song can have meaning uh to someone and and that's exactly and um but there is a on especially online appealing as i guess the aesthetic of that pseudo therapy speak is more i don't know it hits harder for a certain but they're i feel like they're using it wrong well it's like it doesn't make any sense i think space for them it exists in this

liminal space no pun intended where like the um it feels like parody a little bit because it it while it does it there is like a valid like i don't want to invalidate someone quite literally like finding meaning and uh resonance with the lyrics of the uh the song from the musical wicked or any song or any song but it's um funny to apply what would otherwise be it's almost like we it's like a little too woke yeah you know what i mean like where it's like you could have just said people are really fucking with it you know what i mean like we should be allowed because it is equally valid to enjoy something for it's just base intended reason which i'm not saying it's any less than that clearly it's uh song is a banger by the way

we'll say and it and is welcoming i'm gonna hold space for the music of defying gravity as you say it's like it is a validating song about embracing who you are etc but it is i think if i were to uh transmute that over to the greatest showman and say that like this is me i'm like i'm really holding space for when that beaded lady sings that. In 2009, I was quite literally holding space about three and a half megabytes for the lyrics and music of Defying Gravity, sung by Leah, Michelle, and the cast of Glee on my iPod Touch.

Pretty efficient file size. I didn't have an iPod Touch. It was an iPod video, first generation. So unfortunately, I saw this interview and these memes before i saw the film and so when this very moving performance starts all i could think of is i'm holding space for this and i whispered it to my friend and she was kind of like not now weeping openly she was she was holding space she's like it's ruined for you now you're ruining it for

me right she was quite literally holding space she doesn't laugh and then you're returning did you hit did you hear you try to grab her finger give me stop it stop it okay a different finger then oh look at this mate i got this one too look it's from the internet. Sorry, I'll brighten it up. It's a beautiful, moving song. Like, it's very moving. And when Cynthia sings it, it's so good. I mean, I feel like that song's been a cultural touchstone for as long as I can remember. How old is the musical itself? 20 years at least, right?

I want to say 2003 is when it opened. It's got to be early 2000s. That's off the top of the old noggin. I mean, didn't know when Gravity was discovered, but... Glee, what, 2009? Let's it opened. It's got to be early 2000s. That's off the top of the old noggin. I mean, didn't know when gravity was discovered, but... Glee, what, 2009? Let's find out. It was earlier. Oh, well, would you look at that?

Another bingo for Jarvo. What's the day, though? Don't say now. A classic Jarvis just sharpshooting a random date. Was that October 30th? But again, I missed Isaac Newton, so I'm still losing today. Yeah, people are doing this glicked thing glicked or whatever it's so bad

Jacob did it half I did but then I missed what's funny is if you miss half of it then you just saw Gladiator the first one you didn't glicked you glit I glit

I don't like that let's do let's do hr i kid yeah so people are saying it's like barbenheimer part two it's not it's not in what possible way i think we're talking about this in the meeting i think or whatever and i was like it's barbenheimer works so well because it was fan made yeah it was like for the culture but what are they started doing the what about anytime there's two movies wouldn't that be crazy cause sometimes

there are two movies at the same time it's like literally there's two movies and they're not the same they're different the Bob and I thing I feel like

was largely just like contrast isn't this funny cause this is so dour and this is so bright they're far enough away on the spectrum of movie tone

but what about like Puss in Boots and Into the Spider-Verse? Two different movies. Yeah, it's like, okay, I'm thinking Shrek 1 and Shrek 3. I think it's Puss in the Verse. Yeah, Puss in the Verse, right? I don't think it's that.

Wait, the Puss in Verse? Across the Puss in Verse? Across it. Before we fully wrap up the Wicked discussion, which is our talk about, which is our podcast about Boston. The Wicked discussion.

How do you like those apples? I do want to jump back to someone saying, I'm like, who said this? I think Maria posted this or something, where they said that this Wicked interview, the journalist, Tracy gilchrist is a hawk to a girl for theater kids dude that's all right and and uh speaking of hawk to a girl i did just send a can you pull up what i just sent to the group chat no we have just i just we

every day we we lose we lose the hawk to a girl a little bit more. Do you do anything with crypto? Yeah, I do a lot with crypto, actually. I got a shit ton of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Oh, yeah. If I launch a meme coin, can I give you some tokens? Yeah, I'll give you my wallet. I'll give you my wallet.

Okay. All right. Don't launch a meme coin. That's all I'm asking, Hayley Welch. Please just don't. We don't need any a meme coin. That's all I'm asking, Hayley Welch. Please just don't. We don't need any more meme coins. It's kind of the double-sided sword of not being overly online. She's like, if I had not been overexposed to everything on the internet,

brain poisoned, super triple irony memed up at this point in my life, and someone was like, Hey, there's like, like internet money. We made like Dave and busters coins. Okay. That sounds pretty cool. That sounds fun. And it's like,

Oh, okay. Well, we're going to launch an app with AI that helps you day. Oh, that's fun. That's fun. Why not?

We're going to call it dink doink. Okay. That's okay. I intuitively see that sucks. Intuitively sounds like a joke and is even the fact that she's talking to Mark Cuban. Why? Well, that much goes without saying, obviously. He lives on podcasts.

Who is her audience, though? Why does she keep talking to all of these old men and freaks? That's a great question. The two types. I'm curious about why Mark Cuban is or isn't a freak. Is it that he's a billionaire or is it that he owns the Dallas Mavericks?

He actually, if there's a Venn diagram, he's right in the middle. Yeah, waving. I don't deny it, but Can we watch this sweet little Denzel Washington? So he's in Gladiator and he also has another movie coming out. Click it.

On Netflix or something. But anyways. Push doors. Exactly what you have done. What advice do you have? Learn to act on stage. Don't rely on social media. Put it down.

Turn it off. Shut up. Be quiet. Learn. Read. Relax. Get better. First part of your life you learn. Second part. Be quiet. Learn. Read. Relax. Get better. First part of your life, you learn.

Second part of your life, you earn. Third part of your life, you return. Can you be my therapist? I already am. Thank you so much. And it'll cost you. That'll be your... I'll pay you off, though.

I'll pay you off, though. Yeah, yeah. It'll be 50 quid. Oh. He adapted. Because they used quid back in the Roman Empire. Yeah, it's very smooth, very confident, composed. He's rhyming.

You know, British people love that shit. That's true. We love riddles. This interviewer was giving him something, so he was giving it back. She was holding space. We can't have a normal conversation. Oh, that's like that name, sorry. Basically, it's like an improv scene.

He was playing with what she was giving. And so when she was holding space for his performance. She was defying space. She was being funny. She was like pretending to take notes. She was scribbling she was affirming she was like she was like scribbling and then he's just like okay i'm gonna keep like going yeah i feel like these interviews also you probably get the same old you know questions over and over and over again and then like you get a cute little interview yeah i do like the i like that like when there's um a fun break from the normalcy of because i feel like

for these press tours you have like 12 interviews lined up on like one day and sometimes you're in one place and then a bunch of journalists come in but then other times you're like going from place to place to place to place and uh it's probably exhausting it has to be exhausting and this is kind of just three points the third point is just really long yeah it's like learn to act on stage right okay that's pretty distinct don't rely on social media okay that's another thing shut up be quiet learn relax get better get better the first also you return like to heaven okay you hate denzel actually you know what genuinely i will say i'm i think it's me projecting because there's um a habit i really i've tried to get out of my brain but it's something

that is like uh it's kind of like the grown-up or like at least in my experience like the adult version of when you lie about having seen a movie when you're you know 15 or something i less so these days but in the past especially when i was like insecure about being young in an older environment like being the youngest person on my team you know patreon or something i think i would like perform wisdom and i think and i know a lot of people that do this or have known a lot of people do this because it is that's kind of partnerships that's kind of how partnerships marketing management and there is it's not that he you know obviously has wisdom and has some experience but there's i don't know a even reading that back, I'm like, well, yeah, it sounds wise, but it's fast. It's almost like a Ben Shapiro kind of like, bah, bah, bah, bah.

I'm like, learn to act on stage. I don't want to do that. I don't want to act on stage. It's funny that people are taking it seriously because it just looks like a cute little moment. And I feel like the journalist who is posting this just meant it as that yeah a thousand percent and that's why i say i'm projecting it is not the fault of any parties in here it is the partially the fault of the way people are reacting that yeah it's a bit cringe i think that there is a um there is a bias uh when someone is in a position of um authority where they over index on like everything that person says is

like gold well it's yeah it's like uh ted lasso saved my life you know or even like um well denzel said this so it must be valid where it's like denzel's probably not the person you want to go to for advice about anything. No actor ever, actually. You could definitely learn something from him, but everyone's path is so different and there's so much luck that everyone has their own survivorship biases. Yeah, you could probably learn a lot about being an actor that was in Training Day. You could get a lot of insight about being denzel yeah like um terry cruz uh i think was had a small role in training day and he appeared there because he was doing security for uh ice cube i think or something like that and then randomly uh someone who he met through that security job was like hey do you want

to come to the set and like see the set and then because he was like this big dude they were like hey do you want to like and he used to play football or something yeah he played he was uh he played professionally pretty shortly uh for for a short window of time i think he um got drafted and then didn't into the nfl but then didn't kind of make a lasting uh didn't end up making a roster i mean he should like fight crime but anyway the um but his but his a lot of his lessons are like you know show up just get in the room like all these opportunities can come because in his story he was like watching denzel work and then like because he was there then ice cube saw him and was like oh you were the guy who

did uh my security at during like the friday movies or something and then he got brought back for like one of those and so like or my story is i i had this thing go well for me. And so I think that I over emphasize the importance of that experience. So everyone has these types of biases based on their own experience because we can only live one life. And so to look to one person as like the know-all is just everyone's journey is going to be different. It doesn't mean that it's not valuable. Like power, like feeling powerful feels really nice and someone asking knowing something is a feeling of like power and wisdom like it's why everyone is so constantly like fighting amongst themselves online to be the most morally righteous speaker or the most informed speaker on something again i'm projecting just my own bad habits that i've tried to get away from but like

there's a lot of strength in saying you don't know something and apologizing unconditionally and i feel like it is such it is a long-term pet peeve of mine when people in really any tier of exceptional success like you know even like a c- hallmark actor or something is still making a ridiculous amount of money proportional to most people and when the it it frankly i think your authority on life advice goes down with the rarity of your success your authority on your life goes up sure but the position of like yeah you just gotta rise and grind get into it do this yeah i'm like well i if you're hot now naturally that'll help in acting i and uh yeah okay yeah but also you just it's i don't know it's like um i feel

like the greatest advice you can ever give anyone is like sustain yourself and maintain your well-being as best as possible so that if that opportunity comes along you're ready and you feel well the unique opportunities and skills and things assets that you have but you can't like like it's all because i feel like the best advices that i could ever give is just to figure out what cards you were dealt and how to play them right rather than like focusing on the cards that someone else has you know yeah i mean it's like no one's ever done anything productive off of the instinct of why not me like when you see someone thriving and then you say why not me that doesn't lead to you thriving there's no zero sum happiness

for all of people instead like celebrate people around yourself celebrate the wins that you have and then also have like this sucks this is horrible advice but completely accurate is have patience and that sucks turn off the phone leave it learn grow read uh in the first part of your career you learn and then your second part, you earn, and then you return. To the ground, six feet under. You die, and then you rise above. You come back. Three days later.

And then you burn. And then you do your stint in hell. Turns out paperwork was all messed up. Go to heaven. Yeah, there was an administrative error. Happens a lot. Happens weirdly often. Yeah, we were supposed to send you to the other place. The secretary of hell

gives you the runaround. The devil whose job is poking you with all five pokers is like, hey, you're not going to believe this. Oh, dude.

And I was, man, this whole, and you were, a thousand years you were poking me. I know. Only to find out now. I spent one day

reading the paperwork. Oh my gosh, this egg on your face. I know, I feel really foolish. Anyway, send me up. I think I'll go to hell for that. No, you're going to somewhere worse. No, I'm in a fire.

Double hell. You're going to double hell. Oh, this is boring. No, this is, we're getting too productive. So the Rizzler is a wrestler now. The Rizz-Rez'd? The Costco guys have made it to AEW wrestling, and that is something that cannot go without being spoken

about i can't believe we're just unironically going with the rizzler like the rizzler in a time before i i kind of you know we have like bce and things like that i kind of think of things as before and after the rizzler because the word rizzler existed and it was used in like an ironic kind of, ah, this guy's the Rizzler over here. Right. Yeah. But now that is a name.

That is a boy. It was reserved. It wasn't. It's trademarked. It wasn't world war. It wasn't world war one till world war two. Exactly. It was the great war.

Right. And then he went back and went, that wasn't great. And then that wasn't great. What were we thinking? We were so stupid back then I'm not doing that again so Jacob has listed some

clips for us and one says Rizzler eats Orange Cassidy and if you did not know who these people were sounds like a delicious dessert a little treat by the way can we Jacob can we look at how you spelled Costco in the top?

No, we can't. No, we can't. Okay, that's fine. Go down in the comments, guys. Guess how Jacob misspelled Costco. Sorry, Jacob. I would have done the same thing. No, this is...

It looks like a crypto coin. It's like some kind of... Speaking of crypto coins... Sorry. I'm launching it... No, I'm kind of available. Speaking of crypto coins, sorry, I'm launching it. No, I'm just kidding. I texted Austin earlier today spelling sugar S-U-G-E-R

This was the best person to text this to you because he does not give a shit. I would still be making fun of you. I know, and you are. Oh, I did actually. When it happened, I did make fun of you i know and you are like three hours ago oh i did actually when it happened i didn't make fun of you but yeah by the way uh it's like if you like if you have like dyslexia or something i'm not making fun of it we're all playful well i think we are making fun of ourselves because we are bad at spelling all the time so aw for those who don't know, is All Elite Wrestling. Oh, my God.

We just got blown away. All Elite Wrestling, it's like the little sweet. This is me. This is my bias talking. The sweet and underdog version of WWE. I would say just like the farm league of WWE. No. Okay. No, moron. underdog version of ww i would say just like the farm league of wwe no okay they're they know moron they do have some crossover um but like there are people in aw who started in wwe okay and vice versa in some cases what and vice versa and versa. But it's not like an NBA, ABA thing, right?

Because it's like AEW is much smaller. AEW is much smaller and has less money. But I think they're growing exponentially. Yeah, yeah. And I think one difference that some wrestlers have talked about is that AEW gives you much more license over your own character oh that's cool you keep your name storyline i dig your name so wwe owns your name unless it's your real legal name which yawn yeah if you're gonna be a wrestler just don't what if

you change your legal name to your wrestler name john that's actually a good loophole loophole yeah uh triple h yeah i was gonna say that's my name loophole is actually my wrestling hi i'm ray mysterio i can handle like as a um entertainment product i'm cool with all the stunts i think it's incredibly athletic uh these people are professional athletes through and through dancers even and the thing that gets me is the oil it is a damp experience it's so damp

hold on everyone I got one more special surprise for you oh boy it's gonna be a chicken bake we want someone real special to be at full gear to ring the bell when I ring your bell and power boom you right through the middle of the ring. Oh, power boom.

This feels like in a fighting game where you have those trademarked moves. Yeah. Power boom is for sure in some process with the US patent and trademark office. He has enough. You have to have two bars of meter to do power boom. Yeah. It's his alt. It's like down left BB.

Doesn't even show up on the hot bar until you've got the meter for it. So it's like flashing and it's this. And then it's flashing. It's like. Quick time event. You need five booms. And there's only one guy that could be. No way!

That's so funny. It's going to be the Rizzler! Pause. He says his name again. Okay, so I'm just going to say this once every time we talk about this. I just hope that this kid is enjoying himself and that he's got good people around him. This is not his family. He is not related family he is not

related to these people it despite how much time they spend with this boy exclusively appear on camera together he is so young i think um well that's debatable he's nine right yeah that's what studies have shown he's either very young or very small um i just sometimes his face you're like whoa there's years it's just there's there's something so straight like it's like this man's like middle-aged at least right like aj has to be 40 50 i don't know and so i'm thinking about the casters and the dudes and they're all like no way they got the nine year old they can't be oh my god this is crazy how did they get the Rizzler they're never with him

they got the contractionally obliged nine year old how did they get him to be fair it's not like he is an independent all his vids all the actual Rizzler vids

where he's just hanging out with his dad his dad seems very sweet and considerate when he's dressed up as Black Panther the original pop up it's pretty great he's dressed up as Black Panther, the original pop-up, it's pretty great.

He's dressed up as Black Panther and he says he's going to be defining crime instead of fighting crime. He's not even about to say defining gravity. He's going to define it. I'm defining gravity. Let's see Rizzler come out.

Yes! The Rizzler! Why is he so mad? The Rizzler come out. Yes! The Rizzler! Why is he so mad? Yes! Did you hear him? The Rizzler! The Rizzler! His opponent's like, oh no, they got the Rizzler.

Big boom AJ. Boom! Three, two! Ready to bring the boom, but not ready to step on the scale. He's Italian. Oh. Look out here. How do you like your water retention?

Oh, here we go. The double bicep. They don't do weight loss. Wow, he's exactly 550 pounds. He's exactly 550 pounds. He's at 550 pounds? I mean, wow. Exactly. So this is zero hour.

The 550 pounds is what happens when you get a double AJ at Costco. Oh, that's right. And they're like shrink-wrapped together. It's worth the money. This is zero hour, which means it's right before the pay-per-view starts. It's like, yeah, the hour before pay-per-view starts. But there's like a kind of a track. It's like you have to work as like an NBC page,

and then you work your way up to like the CEO of the company. Oh, what's her name? Something Monet. She's the CEO. That's her wrestler name. Janelle Monet? No. Why can't I remember her name something monet she's the ceo that's her wrestler name no why can't i remember her name oh pickle's gonna be so mad pickle's gonna be great green with madness she has a um a rizzler video right there she teaches them the ceo Oh, it's like a cultural exchange. You ready to become a CEO?

Yeah. You want to learn the CEO dance? Of course. All right, let's put our hands up. Okay. And then we're going to bring it all together like this. And then we're like CEO, CEO, CEO. Dude, the Rizzler shirt and the Godfather font is fucking hard.

BJ really kind of is the Charmeleon. He really is the Charmeleon he's the male evolution seeing them that looks like the missing link then after that is human can we watch the Rizzler eats Orange Cassidy where does that

he didn't come out yet let's see this is just the beginning of the fight but does he come out no this is just where they announced that the Rizz. Yeah, this is just the beginning of the fight. It's really... But does he come out? No, this is just where they announced that the Rizzler was going to be ringing the bell for the fight. But he doesn't ring the bell in this video.

Don't we have the entrance with Big Paul, Paul White? Yeah. What is happening? This guy better be big. I just have to say, what is... I feel like... The meme of kill the Victorian child with something is whatever. You could do more than the victorian child with something is whatever

you could do more than the plague with this these fucking references why about europe that like me uh that meme where it's like the netflix watch page but it's like oh yeah it's just like all placeholders infinite bullet must be so oily. He is the master of the Riz Face. Ladies and gentlemen, the Riz Face. He's barely visible when the camera's that far away. They're making this kid work, dude. He is making so many appearances. He's going to have calluses on his chin, dude.

He's putting the hours in. He hasn't even had time to make a meme coin. Once he can grow a beard, though, imagine how cool that would look. Oh. So now Orange Cassidy's deal is he based his persona off of. Orange Cassidy is Anastasia's rival in the gang. No, I love Orange Cassidy. Old Orange Cassidy over here.

I'm a big Orange Cassidy fan. And he modeled his character after Paul Rudd's character That's right, I remember you showed me this So he wears jeggings, like jean leggings That's funny

And his character's really like, I don't care about anything He doesn't talk very much It's very rare for him to do promos He doesn stuff he doesn't like care about shay looks like me i actually idgaf sure i don't get what a friend yeah that's what that means for jordan hey man that's what i mean we can fix that maybe oh you guys possibly no not us best buds no no we can find someone i'm sure yeah we'll call call a few people i can i see something i mean we can like clear our schedule we can all if we all put our

heads together okay maybe we can find you one singular singular one singular friend i mean let's not get ahead of ourselves okay but it has the possibility of being one oh that's pretty good actually it's for exposure i don't get paid for this role but yeah well i don't i don't give an f you don't give a friend because you don't have one to give oh can you give me one of the friends yeah we're trying to find you one you don't want to give them away i'm trying to get a shiny austin do you have anything you'd trade for that risler does feel like a shiny pokemon because you're like you think everything's going according to plan,

and then they're like, and the Rizzler's here, and everybody's like, what? Oh, you have one? That's a 1 in 8,096 chance. How did they get him, as they keep saying? That's very funny for the commentators to say that, because who else could get him? No.

They're the main getters. Why are they surprised? Let's Orange Cassidy, Rizzler. What's up? what's up what's up hmm yeah he wears his own face on his shirt that's actually kind of sick

oh Rizzler where are you going Rizzler went back where he came from that's actually kind of sick isn't he cute it's very cute

I hope everything continues going well and that you know we don't he doesn't get in trouble

in 10 years there's a Costco guys Christmas saw yeah dude also there's one called using children for content what's that that's what Jarvis said

what I do what I do it's a tutorial Jarvis was like let's use this child it's a photo of Austin I bet that was funny Jarvis was like, let's use this child. It's a photo of Austin. I bet that was funny.

That's got to be funny. Being able to do a wrestling move on a professional wrestler. Yeah, it's like wish fulfillment. I would love to do that. And he just saved his dad's life. Tony Khan, please. No, that's it. I mean, I'm pro the kids having the time of their lives. I just want it to stay that way.

That's all I ask. No, it can and it should. It seems so far everything's going smooth. But I also know for a fact that if I was, I don't know, even had like a minor platform at really anywhere between the ages of uh eight and sixteen it would have completely i have one now and it's not going well for me so it's kind of unrelated though yeah all right let's listen to the christmas song me with my kids on christmas eve fine play it whatever don't play god get out of here goku

my son this rules goku and... Goku, Vegeta the third. And John Wick, my daughter. Those are all the same name. Okay, Jacob, keep turning down. I'm so sorry to the listeners. Oh, I got it's Santa I think they're playing a slow-mo I think they're playing a.75 speed

It's the Canadian I love being American That's enough, thank you No, please don't judge this movie. Time to light the tree. Wow, he burst through the screen door. Electric guitar slide. It takes after the Kool-Aid man.

Jacob sped it up right at the perfect time. Tiny break. Okay, he's cool. All right, well. You know, BJ, he doesn't get enough love. I think in between AJ being too loud and the Rizzler being too quiet, he's so charming. BJ's kind of there. He doesn't have his place in the world right now.

Maybe when the Rizzler retires. I think that's just the virtue of being the middle evolution. It's like we're all, everybody loves Charmator. Everyone loves Charizard. There's not as much love for Charmeleon. How much time do you even spend seeing him? You know, there's like way more game. Yeah, pre and post.

Yeah. You don't know, dude. You're not a gamer like us. Go back to Super Auto Pets, bro. I've been playing Super Auto Pets. So, oh, go. So. Oh, God.

What don't you like? Everything. You're back to that? Go back to everything? Go back to everything? Go back to. Return. All right. Return. We got to address the elephant in the room,

which is the proliferation of celebrity lookalike contests. Wait, what's going on with this? What's happening? Was it Halloween? Is that what got it moving? The first one was the Timothee. Timothee chalamet because he appeared at his own look-alike contest and then everyone else was like maybe the celebrity will show up if we do this it kind of made it a thing like ben of the week i think went there too

the uh the the og chalamet looked like because it was in new york city yeah did i tell you guys about how me and my sister used to call timothy chalamet um shablagoo we used to say his last name is shablagoo because of a tiktok where a guy goes all men are trash except for me and timothy shablagoo and me it's very funny i don't want this could be me oh no sorry. So, so my sister forever called him Timothy Shablagoo. Her, when Wonka came out, her husband at work was like, oh yeah, Timothy Shablagoo's in it. And everyone was like, what? I just, I think he's so talented and, and obviously handsome.

And I don't think he could have been successful if his name was Timothy Shablagoo. I think it would have prevented him somehow. He would give it another go. he would just choose a different name but that's how my chalamet that's how my brother-in-law learned that his last name is actually chalamet um i don't know jackman's middle name is mungo wait really wait let's look at that sounds racist did i just make that up go that's another one of those things where I'm like, did I make it up? Let's find out. King Cun. Nope. Michael Jackson. Guess I lied.

Can you switch Mungo? Someone has one of those names. Oh, it's Hugh Grant. Hugh Mungo Grant. Okay, guys. Sorry, I mixed up my Hugh's. I'm glad that was close, by the way. I was nervous. It's weird that they have the same version.

Mostly true. Why? Mostly true. Is it not anymore? I feel like parents are cruel for doing that. Hugh Mungo. I got some funny plans for my kid. Oh, I know.

I know. Okay. This is mostly true, but jokes about Hugh Mungo are slightly ruined by the fact that the actor's full name is Hugh John Mungo Grant. God, that ruins it. That's just the parents going, we know what we did here. Let's add a little

buffer. But I already like Mungo. I can't get rid of it. I've got to be John Mungo. Oh, it's raining? Yeah. What the heck? Oh, wow. Okay, so the Chalamet lookalike, the Shablagoo lookalike competition happens.

And Timmy goes. He shows support. Surprise appearance. So Timothy Chalamet turned up to a Timothy Chalamet lookalike contest in New York yesterday. I noticed somebody dressed their dog up as Tim Chalamet. That's so fun. That's a terrible entry somebody dressed their dog up as Tim Chalamet. That's so fun. That's a terrible entry. The dog looks nothing like Tim Chalamet.

It looks like a dog. It's a dog, by the way. You're wasting everyone's time for the $50 they could be getting. He did have a narrow face. And then Chalamet arrived. A producer for the YouTube series said this started off as a silly joke and now it's turned into pandemonium. On a makeshift stage, the lookalikes were asked about their romantic plans with Kylie Jenner

to demonstrate their proficiency in French and what they do to make the world a better place. They should do a Xbox controller modding contest. Who's got the most, if they shall have a hand. And he puts on like goggles and a soldering iron. Who can a full rap performance oh do his like hip-hop dance routine if you look at timothy chalamet's youtube channel he still has some stuff up that he should probably take down guys check that stuff out don't forget to leave a like leave a comment saying jordan sent me here he did not ask me to come here he sent me here I said his name three times in a row. He turned up, asked for the password of my phone, Googled this, left this comment.

What are you talking about? Jacob. Sorry, what's up? Jacob's revolting. The best. Sorry. Sometimes I'm just like, how did we get here? I got episodes to you how poorly I also sleep.

No, you don't. Today, this is mine. So then in- Yeah, I got four, actually. It was not that bad. Chi, you don't. Today, this is mine. So then. Yeah, I got four, actually. It was not that bad. Chi-town, Chicago. There was a Jeremy Allen White, a.k.a. The Bear.

I keep calling him The Bear. He's The Bear. Jeremy Allen White Look Like Contest in Chicago draws more than 50 participants, won by Glenview Therapist. I'd say, yeah, that's comfortably more than 50. No One by Glenview Therapist. I'd say, yeah, that's comfortably more than 50.

Yeah, 50? I guess 50 entrants and then a bunch of people who want to look at people that look like Jeremy Allen White. That's the other audience for these things. It's like, well, I'm attracted to Jeremy Allen White, so. I got to find a boyfriend that looks like Jeremy Allen White, so... I gotta find a boyfriend that looks like Jeremy Allen White. Then you come here, bada boom, bada bing.

Some of these dudes are just in aprons. Those are just... First of all, the middle one is a child. That is a little baby. Again, I don't want to be mean. It's fucking absurd. Not even close. Not even close to Jeremy Allen White. I do like the idea that it's a Jeremy Allen White lookalike competition,

not his role in the pair, but people are in aprons and stuff as if he doesn't leave. Yeah, where's the shameless? That apron is doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Oh, no, that guy's just a chef. So that guy just has the same job as a character in the TV show. 50 audience members walking into restaurants. Okay, let's see the

interview with this man. Welcome back, everybody. Huge news. Like, I don't think he looks like him very much. He has pretty small eyes. He has cartoon circular eyes. He looks like him more than that baby did

I yeah that's true um I just feel right like if this guy isn't in an apron

saying I'm Jeremy Allen White then no one's going do you you kind of look like Jeremy Allen White actually if I remove that apron I was gonna say

I was gonna say he looks more like Paul Rudd yeah he's he's encapsulating a lot. Yeah. Yeah, if you blow your eyes, he could be anything. He would win a lookalike contest for any of these things.

No offense to the guy, by the way. I hope it's not offensive to say that he doesn't look like someone else. We really don't look like Jeremy Allen White. So I think that's covered. Yeah. A winner has been crowned in the prestigious Jeremy Allen White lookalike contest. And as you can see, the winner there, pretty well deserved. You might be tempted to call him Jeremy.

As you can see, the winner there owns an apron. Different color. Different tint entirely. I do think, I love morning news and reporting because there cannot be cynicism. Like, cynicism is illegal. Also, good day, Chicago. That's a fun name for it. Good day, Chicago.

You're not going to believe this. There was a thing that happened in Chicago, and here's what happened. Don't worry about it. Good day, by the way. Now to Jeremy Allen White with the weather. It's got to be tricky when there's some huge, enormous, horrible event, and they have to be like, good day. It was a bad day, actually, in Chicago.

Good day, Chicago. Unfortunately, the city has been overtaken by aliens, and we are now being asked to bow to their leader. Bad day. But on the bright side, neighborhood cat Chuck E. Cheese gets a little hat. He's dressed up as Baby Yoda. And Ben

joins us now over Zoom to talk about your big win. How you feeling? I'm feeling really good. This has been a really exciting 48 hours. I'm just going to sit wherever. You know what? I can see it,

but like, it doesn't look like it was a, like, I don't know what the competition was like. It's kind of a different, good looking bloke. Let's look at the Challengers one

because this one got the internet a little horny. Until, until they did the churro scene and everybody was like, never mind. Did they really?

Yeah, there's a video. Do we have it? We might not have it. Yeah, the fake bye boys, I assume, is that clip. Can I just look up the synopsis of that movie? This is just a meme. Yeah, but the video's below it. It's just like people... Well, first, let's go back to the photo.

Sorry, I'm jumping around he looks so dead inside yeah yeah yeah does not want to be doing this looks like he's pulling it out the guy who's playing the guy in the art costume I feel like he really looks the part well he's playing him

he's into the churro he loves the churro now I'll be honest I haven't seen challengers don't know much about it was not aware of a churro he loves the churro now I'll be honest I haven't seen Challengers don't know much about it was not aware of a churro scene you would love Challengers Jordan it's a good movie what are you doing with your life

I enjoy it I'm gonna back off if it's a good movie and I'll say I enjoyed the movie Jacob is showing us the how fake my boys look Jacob's keeping this on screen Jacob says if you're not

about that life then you're not entering my contest oh he look so sad. Yay. Why enter the contest if you're not willing to eat a churro? It is not that, like, we're not asking a lot of you. No.

I will say, as... It's not like you're doing a lady in the tramp with the churro. We have our own experience with hiring a lookalike, right? That is true. So, as lookalike party go-haver hirers, it is quite hard to maintain the fun of a lookalike character for really anything but like five seconds. So, doing the churro thing, good.

Maybe maintains it a little bit. The Austin Powers impersonator came to our friend's birthday here you hosted not quite able to keep it going for the three hours he was wobbling a little the Austin Powers impersonator

that was for the Challengers party wasn't it wasn't it the one before or no because it was for you've done two Chrissy birthdays yeah it was Chrissy one't it the one before? Or no, because it was for, whose birthday? It was, wait. You've done two Chrissy birthdays. Yeah, it was Chrissy 1. Oh my God, time. It was the year before. No way.

It was Chrissy 1. I'm losing it, guys. This woman's girlfriend was robbed because she looks like art. It appears, though, that the art competition was a lot deeper than the Patrick. Which one's dressed like Timmy Turner? Is that art? Art, yeah. Okay.

Like, I think that this guy does look a lot like art. I think that they both look a lot like art. I just think that they both look more like art than this Patrick guy looks like Patrick. Looks like Patrick. I think you're right. I agree. Next lookalike contest is

Glenn Powell wow that's just nothing that's just that's like default avatar that's like looking like the twitter egg I just can't even see the actual lookalike contest yeah

yeah let's start with that just because wait did he announce it himself yeah oh okay then let's watch that you released this before the i didn't wrote excuse me i didn't realize we'll earn a cameo so no other like timothy chalamet showed up but he wasn't supposed to show up he just did that of his own free will he was just like ham in new york and there's a me lookalike contest. He wasn't an organizer or whatever. He called the cops. Glenn Powell is inserting himself before

the fact. Oh. Oh. Okay. Sorry. Continue. What? Don't worry about it. Welcome to the Justin Hartley lookalike contest. In all seriousness, I've assembled you here today. God, that was funny. Wait. Who's Justin Hartley lookalike contest. In all seriousness, I've assembled you here today. God, that was funny.

Who's Justin Hartley? Is that like a Glenn Powell character? Is he just being a dude a bit? Can we Google Justin Hartley? It's from Challengers. I've only seen Glenn Powell in Anyone But You. I mean, that's... Oh, that guy?

He's saying they look alike. That's a... i mean maybe this is us this sounds like okay this sounds like a thing a chip on your shoulder that you have when you're an actor for many years and there's like a you're you're cast as a type you're going so you're in you're in all the audition rooms uh where you're sitting next to a bunch you're actually every audition in la is a fucking local contest. It's true. I would say, you know what? I'm going to give ourselves kudos for looking up Justin Hartley because most people watched this and smiled and nodded.

They didn't get the audience. And they just said, okay, Glenn Powell. They probably don't even... They didn't even hear it. They didn't hear him say that one. Whatever you want, Mr. Top Gun. The timing was genuinely like almost a good bit. Because he gives it a beat. The pause was funny. No, Mr. Topkin. The timing was genuinely almost a good bit. The pause was funny.

No, but I blame you. Let's watch it. Let's run it back. Welcome to the Justin Hartley lookalike contest. In all seriousness, I'm just Josh and guys. It's me, Glenn.

It's like at a wedding, doing your opening line as a speech. You make a joke, no, just Josh and guys. It's me, Glenn. Yeah, I thought it was him. It's like at a wedding, doing your opening line as a speech. It's like the best man. That's like that's me. You make a joke, no one laughs. Yeah, yeah. And it's like he set himself up for that because he's alone. Yo, what do you want, man?

Yeah. In all seriousness, I've assembled you here today at Auditorium Shores for an important mission. I want to pull off a heist. And we don't need masks because we all have the same face. It's the perfect crime. They can't get all of us because we are one. A criminal Glenter Price. Isn't that why you need a mask?

So I feel like that whole thing was a setup for a criminal Glenter Prize. I feel like this started with criminal Glenter Prize. And he's like, how do we get there? He's doing too much. I don't understand why. Yeah, I got to say. enterprise and he's like how do we how do we get there there's two he's doing too much yeah i gotta say this is actually it's kind of like the sincerity and media thing we're talking about like with this is exactly the demonic energy that puts me off it is the like you can't trick me i know you're not a human don't be don't do this you're an actor you're a crazy it is funny that no one asks for this and he's's like, I'll do it,

and I'll do an SNL-style opening monologue. Huge news, guys. And I'll write it myself, and everyone's like, Glenn, no one is asking for this. Stop ripping. Criminal Glenn-terprise, I'll say. He looks like this because he's been trying this for 19 hours. He's been sweating in front of the camera.

He was in a suit when this started. Anyway, I wish I could be there in person, but right now I'm shooting overseas. Or am I? Look to your left, look to your right. I could be anywhere. Before he was talking about how there's so many of them they could do a crime.

Something of a criminal gun. They wouldn't have to main mask. But then now he's talking about how they all have the same face. So he could be in multiple places at once. Something of a criminal enterprise. Something of a criminal enterprise. Something like unstoppable Powell. Oh, come on, man.

He's mad with Powell. He has gone absolute Powell corrupt. I know there is some cash at stake here. But I just wanted to say that. Did he just get a haircut? What's on his face? I don't know. I think he's in makeup.

Yeah. He probably has like. It was blackface. It's like he was in a fight. And so they put little. Yeah. Bits of hair. I mean, this is a really powerful message that he's presenting.

He's very glenterprising. Yeah. That was plagiarism on my part. message that he's presenting he's very glenterprising yeah that's kind of just me yeah that was plagiarism on my part now you may know that my parents make a cameo in every movie i make but today the winner of the glen powell look-alike contest wins their parents or any family member of their choice a cameo in my next movie i am completely serious this is a cash value prize of 6 billion dollars wait so they don't win the cameo

one of their family members or friends wins it because if they won the cameo because they look so much alike no one could tell the difference that's just why they're two Glenn Powells that could be CGI it's like a Glenn twin Glenn give me your hand

um we are gathered here to hold space for the powerful lookalike contest glenn defying glenn glenn glenda the good witch glenn gl. Is that her name? Glenda. Glenda Powell. Glenda Powell. We got there. We worked through it. But seriously, guys. Jokes aside.

Welcome back to the Justin Hartley lookalike contest. This is the Justin Hartley boys. We're kidding. No, guys. Just Josh and it's Glenn. So no one's getting $6 billion or whatever he said. They're just getting a cash value. How much of the movie budget?

How much does he get? He's doing one of his patented Glenn Powell jokes. One of his jokes where he says something that isn't the case. I love it when he reads stuff that someone else wrote. That is his job, Jarvis. He is way better at it. Who's his little devil baby? That's Glenn Powell. that's an artist rendition of justin hartley his arch nemesis is it weren't you trump wig oh cowboy is there a movie where he specifically wears a cowboy hat

yeah in uh twisters i feel like there's a hundred glenn powell that's gonna blow Is there a movie where he specifically wears a cowboy hat? Yeah, in Twisters. I feel like there's a hundred Glenn Powell movies. I feel like that's going to blow a friend away. Isn't he a storm chaser in that movie? That is the worst hat for storm chasing. A cowboy hat? You can't. No, Jordan has got a strap on the bottom.

He would pull the thing tight so it looks really goofy when it's blowing in the wind. We've got a cowboy hat right here. Yeah, do you want to test it? Yeah, but we don't chase storms. We see it on a podcast. That guy needs to zip up. I am terrified that it's going to fall lower. That's stolen valor.

Howdy, y'all. Justin Hartley. You know, between being a hitman, a pilot, and a tornado-twister-chasing guy, pretty busy, but nothing can beat being here with all you local austinites look at my horns baby honestly he sounds like glenn powell with how badly he said that it is funny to see like a collection of the same like just by the sheer randomness of the human genome uh you going to get people that look

alike but it is fun to bring a whole genre of people together because you don't often see them in unison. So you get told you look like other people all the time. And they're wrong. Yeah that's true. I get told I look like anyone that has

even close to the same build as me and a mustache hair doesn't matter and. Hair doesn't matter. And skin color doesn't matter. Literally every ethnicity. I'm still trying to understand the Robert Downey Jr. Yeah say Jarvis and then they just made the association. You more of a Glenn Powell. Yeah. No, I'm just kidding, guys.

No, I'm just... I'm Justin kidding. Hartley. Come on. I'm Hartley kidding. Sorry, I said it first. Number 17, Glenn! Sorry? That guy won. That's number two.

Oh. Runner up. Loser. I feel like Mr. Quarter Zip won. Power 2.0. Trouble, please. I said trouble, please. Better, better.

Number 4, Johnson. That guy won. Yeah. I think. That makes sense. Again, I think that the outfit is doing the heavy lifting. He does like, he has angles. He has angles, I think.

Oh, by the way, his mom was judging. I don't know. Oh, Nepo. So this was. That makes me so mad. Where is the integrity anymore? You know what I mean? No, no, no, no.

Glenn Powell's mom was judging. Oh. Where is the integrity anymore? You know what I mean? No, no, no, no. Glenn Powell's mom was judging. Oh. Oh, the shift. I thought the winner of the Glenn Powell lookalike contest, mom. I thought this was about to be like the breakdancing in the Olympics situation. No, no. Glenn Powell's mom was the judge of the Glenn Powell lookalike contest. That's cool.

I guess she's kind of an authority. She's an authority. Have you seen the NFL player? What's that woman's name who did the break dance ray gun ray gun have you seen the nfl player do the ray gun celebration dance that was awesome it was so cute the is that ray gun the australian lady yeah yeah she's cool she retired by the way well she affected the craft yeah i mean what's their left you have to hang it up they raise her jersey in the rafters she uh bounced all the way home i think we did it i think we discussed the celebrity lookalike contests there have been others there's a rachel senate a dev patel zayn malik robert downey jr can you imagine i i get last place. And I just, I use that to reply to all of the people. It is not much we'd be able to go for in this.

No. I wouldn't mind. I could maybe dev. Someone said dev before, but I think it's just, you know, Mikey Brown. I don't think it has anything to do with anything. But you, I feel like young Will Chamberlain, I can see it. And also that one dude

on TikTok that we saw that kind of looked like you. Should we do a Candyland costume contest? No, I'd win. Okie doke, gang. We are going to head on over to our Patreon
