Starting point is 00:00:12 my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media. Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifers Show. This is a place for raw, unfills of conversations with athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated.
Starting point is 00:00:28 So let's get to it. Listen to the. the Clifford show on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. When a group of women discover
Starting point is 00:00:41 they've all dated the same prolific con artist, they take matters into their own hands. I vowed. I will be his last target. He is not going to get away with this. He's going to get what he deserves. We always say that trust your girlfriends. Listen to the Girlfriends, trust me, babe, on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Starting point is 00:01:06 I got you. I'm Agoode. My next guest, it's Will Ferrell. Woo, woo, woo, woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever. He goes, just give it a shot. But if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar. of, you know, the cat just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Listen to Thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, Bobby Bones here. It's Sunday. Let's get to it. Store losers coming up. Get Real with Caroline Hobby, where he sat down with both of them, six pence down the rich year. There she goes. Or kiss me.
Starting point is 00:02:11 So all of that. Michael Hobby and Caroline Hobby came to my house. We did a Bobbycast. It's an interesting couple because Caroline is a media personality. Michael Hobby lead singer of A Thousand Horses. And we talked about each of their individual arts, but also their relationship. So this is the Bobbycast, a clip from it.
Starting point is 00:02:29 And if you hear this, you're like, man, I want to go hear the rest of that. Go over and check out the Bobbycast. So here we go. This week's Bobbycast with Caroline Hobby and Michael Hobby. What advice 10 years in would you give me? two and a half years in. Like real life stuff, not like...
Starting point is 00:02:46 Don't try to make it fabricated. Well, not like, communicate. No. Like, I get it. That's important. Communication, absolutely. But if you just say that, it's so vague... I'm not saying you guys,
Starting point is 00:02:56 but it's like, it's so vague and generic. It's like, communicate, but sometimes it's going to be really hard and you're not going to want to say it and you're going to hate what's going to happen from it. And you're only hoping that what comes from it is actually something that progress. I need that kind of advice.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Yeah. Well, for me, advice, I'll say, I'm married, like, someone who can drag things out of people just through conversation. You're welcome. So, like, if I have something going on for me in our marriage, like, she's going to get it out of me in, like, a therapeutic way. I'm like a hound dog. Does she hold you hostage to get it out? Or does she, or is it like, she'll try to get it out, and then you'll do your own thing, but then she'll come back and she's right at it again. I'm relentless. But do you give it up? Will you give it up for a,
Starting point is 00:03:42 night and then come back the next day? Or do you just not stop? No, it doesn't stop. Okay, so she'll hostage. Eventually, I have to just go, you know what? Yeah, and Michael will be like, do we have to have a deep conversation right now? Yeah, sometimes I want to have it. Yeah, I agree. You know what? Like, I'll just play pickleball with you for a few hours and we don't have to talk about anything. Or we never have to talk about it. Like I know and you know, so we both know, so let's never talk about it. Exactly. That's what I'm fine. But yeah, so okay, go ahead. Yeah, I mean, I think 10 years of Mirage has taught me, like, being vulnerable is okay. Like when you're going through something like we all kind of grew up in like the tough man syndrome you know like you do your
Starting point is 00:04:16 thing and and carolans kind of helped me understand through we've grown a lot together in 10 years so many things together you know highs and lows high highs low lows but it took me and i didn't realize this till like later on in our marriage it took me a while to realize like i expressing myself to someone and trusting them was kind of an issue like i'd never it's always like surface level in certain parts but like with with you now i've 10 years, it's like I'm fully, like, in, like, I'll tell her anything, tell her exactly how I feel, be vulnerable, you know, in bad days and good days and all those things. So that's, communication is really the key. Like, I really, I know that's like, you know, in a book somewhere.
Starting point is 00:04:59 But with us that, too, though, like, if you come, if you're like, dial that down, though, Caroline, wait a minute, we'll come back to you a minute. Yeah. See, this is what happens. Then I start explaining to you. Communication, but go find. me a specific part of communicate, like an element, because you did touch on vulnerability, and maybe that's what you want to expand on, because if someone says, well, communication is the key, I'm like, I'm not listening anymore because everybody says. I know. I know. That's a terrible answer. So don't look at her. I have a great answer. I know. You will look at her and she will jump back in, and I know she's got the exact answer that I'm looking for, but I'm asking you as a dude,
Starting point is 00:05:39 because I have and have had trouble my whole life. I do talk. With being vulnerable. And it was never a masculinity thing because I didn't have men in my life to be like, you've got to be manly. It was always a vulnerability thing because I was not allowed to be weak
Starting point is 00:05:55 for a couple of reasons. I couldn't. Yeah. It was self-protection. 100%. And so as I got older, those two seem to Venn diagram, cover each other a lot,
Starting point is 00:06:07 masculinity. I don't want to be manly and I don't want to be vulnerable, but I didn't care about the manly thing. I just didn't want to be vulnerable. It just seemed like, I gotta be tough. Not because it's a dude thing,
Starting point is 00:06:17 because it's a, man, if I'm weak, and I've struggled with what you just said, with her, yet I've been better with her, better or worse, what are you to find it with her than anybody I've ever been with. But that is by far the hardest human thing
Starting point is 00:06:33 for me to do is to be vulnerable because I feel like people won't, like me, trust me, to be with me if I'm weak because I've never been weak, even though I have. 100%. Yeah. I completely agree with that. That, it's like fully being, trusting someone and like taking off that suit. You know, I feel like we all wear like different suits, like when you're around people and you're doing things that protect you from that, your ego. I think it's ego,
Starting point is 00:07:01 you know, a lot of it. But with her, it's like learning to be vulnerable. And then I work on myself a lot, to be better. In what way? Like therapy and then like, you know, healing things that had happened to me throughout my life and then trying to understand, like, you know, I'm always kind of reading and really trying to, I want to be, you know, a great husband and I want to be a great father and a great friend to people.
Starting point is 00:07:23 So, you know, we're all trying to figure this world out. So she supports that with me, no matter any way I want to do it, you know, because her way is different than my way. And I'm sure you and the same thing. completely different communication styles. Yeah. And attachments. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Like she is, if we're fighting her attachment style, she needs to be right there. Or if we disagree, she needs to get it fixed right away. Same. I am the opposite. I have always figured things out in my head, by myself,
Starting point is 00:07:56 and that's what I need to do. But at times, it has been good for my growth because I've been forced to somewhat go, I have to be better at her way or we're never, ever going to figure out what works for both of us. So it's been good, but it's been really hard because that's not me. It's good. That's not my attachment style at all. That doesn't mean it's not you.
Starting point is 00:08:19 It's just not what you've ever had the opportunity. You haven't had the opportunity to be in a healthy relationship yet until now to have that place to let this be you. But it is when I say I'm emotionally stunted. A lot of people learn through other relationships when they're fortunate. 19, 26. Maybe you live with somebody. Maybe you get engaged. Maybe you have your first marriage.
Starting point is 00:08:43 You know, there are all these different ways people. And I don't have any of that. And so here I go at 40 years old. I'm like, all right, we're getting married. Nothing. It's like it just grew pubes. Yeah. I think you're doing great.
Starting point is 00:08:57 You're the best version of yourself I've ever seen since you've been here. Great skin, thank you. Life ain't always pretty, but hey, it's pretty beautiful. Laugh a little more things. Tighten up your core thing. Said EK. You're kicking it with four things. With Amy Brown.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Hey, it's Amy Brown from Four Things with Amy Brown. And here's what we talked about this week on my podcast. My next question would be, do you snooze or no snooze? Oh, I snooze like crazy. Really? Which is kind of weird, but I have now been so bad at snoozing that I now have to set my alarm like an extra hour early to snooze it to actually get out of bed on the right time. That's when you know you have a problem that can see. How many times will you snooze it?
Starting point is 00:10:00 Oh, well, I don't anymore. Okay. But I, how'd you kick it? I kicked it. Well, actually, it was a challenge on the Bobby Bone show where Bobby wanted me to try to quit. And then a listener called in and said, I've been trying to quit snoozing too. What if I'm Amy's accountability partner and we do it together? And so I had a listener.
Starting point is 00:10:17 And so if you have someone that, you know, they're trying to do it too. And then we're talking about it on air. And I really did want to kick the habit because similar to you, it got into the point where I was doing that. And I'm like, this seems counterproductive. Oh, you're literally. And then I learned about sleep inertia, which is what you're doing to yourself when you press snooze.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Like we think, oh, I'm getting my nine more minutes or whatever. But you're not able to go back into a full sleep cycle. So you're sort of tricking your body. and then it actually makes you more tired throughout the day. And so we're not setting ourselves up for success. It makes sense. And also just like the last hour you're in bed, it's so miserable because it's going off every 10 minutes
Starting point is 00:10:58 that's just like you're kind of in a grumpy mood to start your day too. Yeah, so sleep inertia. Okay. Maybe it'll be my partner to keep me accountable. I can be your accountability partner like, okay, make your bed, but also you don't have to have your house to such a pristine state where, you know, your husband's like, it looks like. It looks like nobody lives here.
Starting point is 00:11:16 I know. Which, what is married life and life? Because that's only been a few years, too, huh? Yeah. We've been together for over 10 years, but married for the last five years. But he is the best. He's like the best dad. Like he's so good and he's very patient.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Like sometimes I get a little stress. Like if the crying is happening or if she's not eating well, that like stresses me out a little bit. And he's just calm. He's the opposite of me. The ying to your yang. Yeah. He really is. And everybody, like all our friends, they're like, we don't know how you guys
Starting point is 00:11:44 work, but you guys work really well because he's really, truly opposite. Which how did y'all meet? We met songwriting with his ex-girlfriend. They were not dating anymore, but she introduced us and then we started hanging. So his ex-girlfriend introduced y'all to songwrite or to potentially to songwrite. So I wrote with her and then she's like, I think you and Jake would write really well together. They were already broken up. She was with somebody else, but they were still friends. And we all wrote together. And then he called his mom that.
Starting point is 00:12:14 night and was like, I'm going to marry this girl. I was still had a boyfriend. I didn't live here, but we became friends. And then two years later, we started dating. And so when did he tell you that he called his mom that night and said that? He told me like pretty fast that he was in love with me. And I was like, I have a boyfriend. Like, I can't talk to you now because this is weird. And I feel like I'm doing something wrong. So we kind of like stop talking because it felt weird. And then he would text me every Monday and be like, I just want to remind you that like I'm still in love with you. And I won't text you for the rest of the week, but I'm still in love with you. And he did that for like a long time. Yeah, he was very persistent. Like, if it didn't work out,
Starting point is 00:12:50 it would have been creepy. But because it worked out, it's sweet. I know. Isn't that the thing? Like, it's like, well, if a guy's treating you a certain way and you don't like him, then it's sort of stalkerish or weird or whatever. But if you like them, then you're like, oh my gosh, he's so sweet. He keeps showing up outside my window. He literally did. He knows like, I'm a big gum to where he would drop like packs of gum like on my front step or just like little things like sweet little things which is a little stalkery when you tell them to not do that but so then you broke up with your boyfriend naturally just like that just happened and then at that point Jake was like hey I'm here hi I've always been here outside your window he's on your porch or the box of gum
Starting point is 00:13:34 ready and waiting so since y'all are both creatives and writers like how is it with your latest album putting that out and so much going on in your life, does he have a lot of input or say, or do you go to him? Or is it sort of like you'll have to create that separation because it can be too much? We don't work together, but he does have a lot of opinions of like, I'll ask him, like, you know, do you like this video or this song or do you think this song should go on the record? The thing that's kind of nice is like he is not in country music. He is more in like folk, Americana, Singer-strong writer world. So our paths don't really cross with business other than just supporting. Well, in seeing a business, you're not just in the singer-songwriter business. I first saw you
Starting point is 00:14:17 on travelers. I remember the first time I came in here and you said you watched it. When you were on the Bobby Vone show, I was like, whoa, wait, you're from the Netflix show with that guy from Will and Grace. I was bummed when that show didn't come back. Like, it was a really, I remember watching that. So are you a sci-fi fan? I'm not huge into sci-fi, but for whatever reason, which I'm no longer married to him, but my husband is at the time, is the one that found it. And I was, I can say he's too super sci-fi either, but it was a good balance of this is time travel, but also doesn't feel too weird. Yep.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Or in that lane, because yeah, I would say generally, we're not totally in the sci-fi line nicely, I think. They totally did. Because we were into it and like, we were ready for the next season to come out and then the next one. So anyway, that was when I was first introduced to you. I heard on the Bobbycast, too, a couple of years ago that you auditioned for Schitt's Creek. I did.
Starting point is 00:15:08 I did with Dan. I'd like tested with him, Dan Levy. And I mean, the girl who got, I can't remember what her name is in real life. The sister? Yes. So you were going to be like, David. David. Or like a little bit, a little bit Alexa.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Whatever her name is. I can't remember. But I auditioned and read with him in L.A. Comedy is like harder for me. I'm definitely lean more in the drama lane. But it was pretty cool. And he was hilarious. And I was like, oh, you were a comedian, obviously.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Oh, I'm sure. Yeah. Him and his dad. They're like geniuses in that department. Back to the Travelers one, though. do you believe in time travel or different dimensions? Working on a show like that, does it make you be like,
Starting point is 00:15:44 I don't think I do. I like to like think about it when I'm acting. Like that's a fun thing, but I don't think I do in real life. Do you? When it comes to time travel, I don't know. Bobby likes to believe in it.
Starting point is 00:15:55 We talk about it a lot on the show. But he feels like if it existed, he would have come back to tell himself. And I don't know exactly how it all works, but he also thinks we're a simulation. So does Jake? Oh, really? Yeah, he's,
Starting point is 00:16:10 yes, he's definitely like the sci-fi nerd kind of thing. Do you ever get like the deja vu feeling? Yes. That I feel like is maybe, oh, I've feeling this because that's happened in another life. Oh, okay. I don't know. That's what I've heard that feeling is. See, I don't wonder what I would have done in a different life or if I was somebody else.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Was I a human or a bird? I don't. I feel like it would be fun to be a bird. Right. I know. I'd be like, like, yes, because sometimes I just want to fly far far away from a lot less stress. fly away from everything.
Starting point is 00:16:47 A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care where you're saying. Yep, that's me, Clivert Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way,
Starting point is 00:17:01 this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators, and voices that not only does to be heard, but celebrated. One week, I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment,
Starting point is 00:17:20 and the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music. The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast, it's a space for honest conversations, stories that don't always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger. So, if you've ever supported me, or you're just chasing down a dream, this is right where you need to be. Listen to the Clifford Show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok.
Starting point is 00:17:51 There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield. And in this new season of the girlfriends, Oh my God, this is the same man.
Starting point is 00:18:15 a group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. They said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, everyone? I'm Ego Wood. Next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. Woo.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with him one day. And I was like, and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you. which is really sweet.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks Dad on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. We're going to do it live. We are the one, two, three, so are losers. What up, everybody? I am Lunchbox.
Starting point is 00:20:12 I know the most about sports. I give you the sports facts. My sports opinions. Because I'm pretty much a sports genius. Y'all, it's Sizzin. I'm from the north. I'm an alpha male. I live on the north side of Nashville with Bayes or my wife.
Starting point is 00:20:24 We do have a farm. It's beautiful. a lot of acreage. No animals, a lot of crops, hopefully soon. Corn, pumpkins, rye, I believe, maybe a little fescue. To be determined. Over to you, Coach. And here's a clip from this week's episode of The Soar Losers. And here's a clip from one of the episodes this week on The Soor Losers. Take this f***lep and play it. They're about to now ban smoking. In all casinos? Yeah. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:20:57 That would affect you. Local people. That would be awesome. The local ordinance in Austin when we lived there, no more smoking in the bars on 6th Street. That affected me. In Vegas, did you ever really smell like smoke, though? Oh, my God, yes. You would sit at a blackjack table and some dumb ass would come up with his cigarette and just set it right in that ass right next to you.
Starting point is 00:21:20 There's a all up on you. It's just like, good God, it was terrible. Or they'd bring their... Stories from Vegas! They'd bring their fat-ass cigar, set it there, and there's no ashtray, so they'd get their beer bottle and just... See, when we were floating around doing slots, if somebody was smoking on a cheacher at, let's say, Treasure Island, is it resting in peace? Oh, yeah, well, no, it's called T.I. Now. If we did that, dude, then if somebody's just sitting there with two ashtrays, you just moved to another machine.
Starting point is 00:21:53 And I'm not one to sit at a blackjack like you, so it just really, I was unaffected by it. Whereas back in high school, the casinos were on Indian reservations, and there people apparently hated their lives. There was no ventilation systems in these casinos, and they would just go smoke an entire pack after Friday at the lumber mill or the coal mine. And we would go in there in high school, and you'd have to bring a change of clothes. Because if you went home, your parents would be like, oh, my gosh, have you started smoking? And then what bar were you at? And also, why are your eyes yellow? Because the smoke was that heavy in these places.
Starting point is 00:22:24 I used to not realize I smelled like smoke because my parents smoked No, you don't No When I went to college everybody's like Right, but you don't now Right now I don't Oh now I know the difference
Starting point is 00:22:35 But I'm saying I feel bad like Like the dealers They have no choice They are stuck there Bro you want to talk about One of the worst jobs imaginable Oh Dude they have to deal with drunk people
Starting point is 00:22:48 Trunk high They never get to see people Just win win win It's majority of people are losing lose, and what happens when you lose? Yell at them. Get pissed off. Customer service type job where they really can't fight back or they'll get fired.
Starting point is 00:23:00 They can only be wrong because the eye in the sky correct stuff they do. And they have to do it quick. Have you ever watched how they do cards? They're really skilled at what they do. It's amazing. And then a lot of blackjack people, I would hope they tip and then get some good paydays. That's got to be annoying. Just see, unless you get, you know, you got a dude and a hottie roll up to your table and this great conversation.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Those are the times when you enjoy your job. All the other times you hate when there's five. Bachelor dudes just drunk as shit at your table. You are there to work. Like it's your job. They are there having fun. They're on vacation. So you are doing this the day in,
Starting point is 00:23:35 day out of your job. And these people are, like, it's like, God, man, I'm just doing my job. And it has to be monotonous.
Starting point is 00:23:45 But I feel like if they would lean into that more, that makes it more fun. Wait, what? They're drinking with you? No, no, but they're laughing and joking.
Starting point is 00:23:53 The ones that are just so, serious and just, I hate those tables. If you're talking to me and having fun, so much more enjoyable. Like, are they allowed to touch you and clap hands? Some are. At some places, they're allowed to high five you, fist bump, you know what I mean? Those are the ones you enjoy when they're like,
Starting point is 00:24:08 oh, hey, what do you think? You should think I should have to double down? Just got, it's your money. Okay, cool. I'm out. Like, you're asshole. I'm not, I'm, oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I was telling you, dude, the guy in the cruise, man, he was hitting on the chick next to me. I mean, I was pretty much calling the shots. moving chips, putting them back out.
Starting point is 00:24:25 Once the dice, I told you I was skipping the dice like two feet. Oh, I threw it as a seven. It's a seven. Holy shit. But yeah, I would imagine, I don't even know what kind of a dealer I would be. Would I talk to them or I go completely silent? I think in the beginning, everybody probably, you're probably quiet in the beginning. Because you're so concentrating on trying to get it right and make sure you're doing it right. Then maybe eventually for a couple years, you're talkative.
Starting point is 00:24:51 And then after you've done it for 10 years, you're probably like, I've had every conversation I can have. I can't do it anymore. I'm going silent. And also, when we have people come in here and they're in a good mood and their hype, it's a Friday, let's say. Oh, like today, today's a Friday. And they're all excited about the weekend. We're working.
Starting point is 00:25:07 And so it's the dichotomy of people that are excited, people that are depressed at their jobs. And it just doesn't mix well. It's oil and vinegar. Oil and water, vinegar and salt. Yeah. Macaroni and cheese and milk. You know what I'm saying? So it's odd.
Starting point is 00:25:22 If you go into somebody's job and you're, pumped and they're depressed. It never ends well. And that's a casino. Hey, it's Mike D. And this week on Movie Mike's movie podcast, I did an entire episode on sequels that I think should not have been made. Ben Stiller was out recently talking about all the backlash he got for Zoolander 2, which inspired the entire list. I also reviewed the new Zendaya movie Challengers. And I broke down the new Transformers trailer. So those are things I do on my podcast every single week. If you're not subscribed over there, what a. O'8 and 4? Here's just a little bit of my podcast talking about bad.
Starting point is 00:25:53 sequels. Starting with the worst offender, the movie I bring up so much because I hate it with a burning passion. It is dumb and dumber too, and that is T.O. That came out back in 2014. And this is where I learned what I've just been talking about is as much as you want to see your favorite actors come back and portray the characters that made you laugh. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are incredible together.
Starting point is 00:26:21 And this was one. I was on that bandway. and I was on Reddit following every storyline with every script update. I was all in on the Dumb and Dumber sequel. Now, technically, it's not a direct sequel because they came out with the prequel Dumb and Dumberer in 2003, which is even worse because they aren't even associated with that movie. That's another one that should have been made,
Starting point is 00:26:44 but this is the sequel to Dumb and Dumber that came out in 94. And I remember seeing that first image of them back in the Harry and Lloyd costumes, and being so excited, and I've never been so disappointed in a sequel because none of the jokes landed, and all the movie was was poking fun and reminding audiences of what they did in the original one, and that is not what we want. It's hard to do a sequel because you need to advance what you did in the first one and not just remind people why that one was great, and dumb and dumber too is the biggest offender of that. Along those same lines, we'll stick to Jim Carrey movies. Son of the Mask in 2005 with Jamie Kennedy. Oh, this movie does tarnish the legacy of the mask, which is also a 1994 movie when
Starting point is 00:27:35 Jim Carrey was really on his run of dominance. Son of the Mask was nothing more than a cash grab. Because in the first one, it's so quirky and funny, but what it does well is all of the little side gags and really you need Jim Carrey in that mask to make it funny. Son of the Mask is one of the most brutal experiences I've ever had watching a movie, even in 2005 where you could throw anything on the screen and my 14 year old self would probably laugh at it, but this one was straight awful, mostly due to the mask looking like a rubbery Play-Doh piece of crap. So that is my second big offender.
Starting point is 00:28:19 My third biggest offender is one that came out pretty recently. Hocus Pocus 2 is a movie that I just hate that it exists because Hocus Pocus 1, the original, has been one of my go-to Halloween movie since I can remember. It was always Halloween time for me whenever I'd go to school and we throw on Hocus Pocus. Great memories with this movie. I'd watch it every single year. And to me, this movie is perfect. It should not have been touched.
Starting point is 00:28:47 And right now, Disney is in a weird place of movies that come out on Disney Plus and movies that come out in theaters. And what they have really done is kind of replaced their straight to VHS, straight to DVD movies, and made those Disney Plus exclusives. Hocus Pocus 2 fell victim to that. The movie just looks terrible. It looks like it had zero budget. You bring back all the originals and completely waste them to make a movie that looks like a Saturday morning special. and Disney has done this a lot, so much so that I almost don't count some of these sequels that they have done because they are pretty bad. It really shows me how much Disney has changed and has suffered at the box office as of late because they used to be so dominant that they would only put out their biggest movies in theaters and all the sequels would go straight to VHS, which they also crushed in because they would sell so many of them.
Starting point is 00:29:41 So they would create classics and then they would have cheaply made sequels with less money spent on animation. You wouldn't have the same caliber of voice actors. You would rarely have people from the original ones be on these sequels. But all of these movies I would consider should not have been remade. And I bet they regret some of these because they could have made sequels now instead of remaking the original ones, which we are seeing an influx up still. but Lion King 2 Cinderella 2, Little Mermaid 2 Hunchback of Notre Dame 2, Moulon 2
Starting point is 00:30:13 Bambi 2, some of these you probably forgot even happened because they were really just a way for them to sell more DVDs and VHSs. The only one of these movies that I liked and I remember going to the flea market in Dallas to get a copy of this.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Out of all of these movies, this is the only one I was excited for as a kid and it was Lion King 1 1.5, which is a great movie. I haven't rewatched it in a very a long time. I'm not sure if it's still available on Disney Plus, but it was Lion King from the perspective of Tomeone and Pumba, which as a kid, that is what I loved the most from Lion King, because Pumba and Tomeone are hilarious. They were the best part of that movie. They were the comedic relief. So what you had in Lion King One and a Half was their storyline from before they meet
Starting point is 00:31:02 Simba, because they really don't encounter him until about the start of the second act of the movie. So you get to see all of their life before that and then you get to see their perspective from the final battle, which is great. So all the other ones should not have happened. Just give me Lion King one and a half. Another more recent offender is Aquaman 2, which is one of the worst superhero movies I've ever seen. I was quite honestly surprised how big of a hit Aquaman 1 was. And this one also came at a weird time of Warner Brothers kind of closing the chapter on this DC era. And I feel like this movie was dead on arrival. It had no real chance of success. But even that being said, I was not prepared for the annihilation on my eyes from watching such a weak
Starting point is 00:31:49 performance from Jason Mamoa, but also the worst visual effects in the last decade when it comes to superhero movies. I thought we were past making superhero movies this bad at a time where people are starting to be fatigued with these movies. You really going to put this one out? they should have shelved this movie. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Clivert Taylor the 4th.
Starting point is 00:32:19 You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. One week I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment, and the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music.
Starting point is 00:32:50 The Cliverts Show isn't just a podcast, it's a space for honest conversations, stories that don't always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger. So if you've ever supported me, or you're just chasing down a dream, this is right where you need to be.

Starting point is 00:33:11 and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two,
Starting point is 00:33:29 never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield. And in this new season of the girlfriends, oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist.
Starting point is 00:33:45 I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends.
Starting point is 00:34:04 Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, everyone? I'm Ago Wodom. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. Woo, woo, woo, woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever.
Starting point is 00:34:31 I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry. about you, which is really sweet. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall
Starting point is 00:34:57 and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat, just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks Dad on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, y'all.
Starting point is 00:35:55 It's Caroline Hobby from Get Real with Caroline Hobby. And here is a clip from this week's episode. But yeah, at 19, I was married and we were, yeah, very young. But we had already just traveled really part of the world together, but all over the United States. And a van and a car and, you know, sometimes. And then eventually we graduated. I mean, we traveled in all kinds of things with wheels. There was never a wheelbarrow, but everything but.
Starting point is 00:36:29 We slogged pretty hard for, and that's why I think a lot of people don't. They're like, oh, they're a one-hit wonder. They're the overnight sensation, but it wasn't that way at all. We played in close, like first churches, youth group stuff, like, we're going to get a pizza. Everybody come. And people were, like, crowd surfing. and like acting ridiculous to, you know, our songs. But they, well, we were.
Starting point is 00:36:56 We are a rock band. I think people, you know, it's easily kind of slips into, oh, they're a pop band because it kissed me. But you come see a show. It's loud. And those kids were banging up against each other pretty hard. And we knocked a kid out once. Or we didn't do it, but she fell.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Enter your own wrist. Yeah. So what is it like to get this dream when you're super young, lock in, form a band, know this is what you're going to do. You start traveling around and then kiss. Then you have a song. Kiss me. And it blows up. And your dreams are coming true.
Starting point is 00:37:36 It's like in the hottest movies and TV shows. It's in Dawson's Creek. It's in She's All That. I was talking to Morgan, my producer, and we're walking down here, that iconic scene. And she's all that. where Rachel Lee Cook is walking down the stairs and it's like, it was the moment. Kiss Me was the song.
Starting point is 00:37:52 And it was like in a Queen's wedding or something. Or Princess. I forget who, but yeah, it was. I mean, it was worldwide, baby. It was wonderful, but I was so like, would they please let us come and do that live? Oh, my God, right? It would have been insane.
Starting point is 00:38:08 Insane. But anyway, I think it was Prince Andrew or something. I don't know. I don't remember. Did all of those TV shows and movie placement? Is that what catapulted Kiss Me? Or what was the moment that shot the song into superstardom? Like what made it all come together?
Starting point is 00:38:25 How did it become a rocket ship? I think radio and the placements. Like, she's all that, definitely. Was that a big one? Must have played a big part, but radio. We worked pretty hard to, I don't know if this was new for the time, but we traveled all over the country. showed up at radio stations and just with our guitars and said,
Starting point is 00:38:50 can we just play for you in the break room? It was very personal based. Like we were going around meeting a lot of people, just talking to people. Boots on the ground. And, yeah, and that gave us a lot of momentum in the radio front. And then I remember sort of that thing you do kind of moment that we had because we were out there working hard.
Starting point is 00:39:16 we finally heard it on a radio station and pulled the pan over. Freaked out. But I think when it did hit the film world, that's when it really sort of really went like a rocket ship. And those shows like in the 1900s, the late 1900s. It's so crazy. In the late 1900s,
Starting point is 00:39:39 it was like those shows were epic. Everybody was watching Dawson's Creek. everybody when a new movie like she's all that came out everybody was watching it you know it's like i feel like there's so much more out there now it's hard it's like a little bit more yeah you get lost lost you can get lost but like you did not get lost in it back then like it's like you were eagerly anticipating the next episodes of these shows you know these movies and so and then when the moment happened and y'all are the song with the moment it's like whoa it impacts on such a big level. I guess it did. It didn't feel
Starting point is 00:40:18 I don't know what it felt like. It felt Do you feel like you were a star overnight? Oh no. I know I've never a day in my life felt like a star. You've never a day in your life felt like a star? No way man. Maybe the day after we played Letterman. I felt I was feeling myself that day. You should feel like a star on Letterman and you all played like a long show on Letterman because somebody dropped out or had a fight. I don't know if it was a fight. I think Letterman got a little testy with the only guest because it was one guest was Chris Rock and it was us. And maybe somebody didn't show up.
Starting point is 00:40:52 I'm not sure, but there was extra time. I thought Chris Rock kind of made him mad. Those are those moments you could never plan for. It's like y'all go to play your song and then there's a, you know, a conflict on the set. So you end up doing an interview. Did you play like another song too? It's like you ended up getting this bigger slot on a huge. We just did the one song.
Starting point is 00:41:10 Yeah. Did we too? Yeah, we did. Well, I think, I think, I just remember he, he kept you up there. He talked to you for a really long time. I think he just loved Lee. He was like instantly, kind of disarmed by you a little bit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:21 It was really sweet. Yeah. And I, I just, there was no way to predict that. So it was so quick, the walking out and then suddenly, because there was really not any warning for that. It was like, play the song. And then afterwards, you're going to go over there and talk to your hero. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:38 And I love David Letterman, I still do. he's the best. Oh, geez. Nobody does it like David Letterman. I was freaking out, man. I bet. That's a huge moment because David Letterman, like the David Letterman show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:50 Also, again, back then, those shows, they're not that they don't matter today because they do, but it's just like, there weren't tons of outlets to go get interviewed and talk about your music and to be heard and seen. So when you made it to one of those big moment monumental outlets, it's like, holy cow, you know, to be talking to David Letterman. when you dream this up at 13 and 16 years old or whatever?
Starting point is 00:42:16 That's, I gotta be crazy. Hey, thanks for listening to this week's Sunday sampler. New episodes out of all those shows every single week. Hope you having a great Sunday. All right, bye, everybody. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying.
