instructions to rock yeah that's this words to live by really yeah get that tattooed that's
amazing all right what what movie are we doing brandon what are what are we why are we here today
chatting uh first of all this is the cake cuters podcast my name is brandon over there is heath aka
mr kickass mr rubber burner you remember when he when he's
No. The law, it's Gene, the cook, the chef, the law, the guy from Law and Order. He's, uh,
it's when he's like standing behind the one dude and he's just like, like right in his ear. And he's like,
he's like, hey, Mr. Kickass. The Mr. Rubber burner. The him chatting with the can of
vegetables and the can of vegetables being H. John Benjamin is you just incredible.
you wouldn't understand he if you know why because you were never you were never in nom
all i could think about is he's not old enough to have been in nom is he is this is uh
like wasn't it sent in the 80s like 81 is when they is the the date that they flashed on
the screen yeah i guess you're i guess that would be about the time right time he just
i feel like he would have been looked a little bit older but maybe not he's seen more
uh more travesty in five minutes and you'll see in your entire goddamn life he's
the the best is like just i mean it's just unhinged they've got the random makeout girl
that's just making out with everybody i love how her so stiff a gum and she ends up with a kid
oh i love how yeah and then molly there's quite a few people that end up with with uh camp
can't remember but yeah yeah i love that that's her move though is uh you got a piece of
gum that's i mean it's pretty slick move yeah i got to start using that oh my god what wet hot
american summer i i didn't realize it was made in 2001 for some reason i thought it was a
little bit older than that this is pre nine 11 this came out i think in february of of 2001 pre
nine 11 wow what a world dude what a world and this is
like the ultimate um oh my god why am i blanket on what it's called uh not niche movie but like um
it failed at the box off under it's underground why am i blanking on this anyways it did terrible
in the box office but it i i love this movie it's not everybody's cup of tea though
if you if you're you have to enjoy this type of humor and you have to really
really enjoy it because the movie's way longer than it needs to be yes uh but if you enjoy this
type of humor it's right up your alley you know yeah exactly and it like because it was absurd
it was silly it was not meant to be like i don't know it was it was meant to be unhinged and
absurd and i think that all the actors really leaned into it and it was really funny yes that's ever
the the commitment is what what uh sells it for sure uh because yeah it's the as a movie
it's uh it just it doesn't it doesn't make any fucking sense there's i mean there's a loose
plot of it just being the last day of a summer camp but the time like the the scenes are
it's it's really just uh like little little five minute sketches all spliced together
other yeah see my scene the the the the time line that they they lay out uh because they
keep flashing what time it is none of it none of that lines up or makes any sense it's uh yeah
it's just oh okay i thought of a great word for it colt classic it became a colch
christ that took what five minutes but it's it became a cult classic like it's kind of one of
the original sometimes i feel like but yeah
It's and it's also I think that like it because it's a parody right well not like a pair straight up parody but it like the that what was the one with Bill Murray meatballs right like that I didn't get it's it's a parody of like so many they pull a lot of a lot of of the characters are based off of like old camp movies a lot of this the scenes and the storylines are taken from old camp movies like they did you ever watch sleepaway camp?
It was like a horror movie from the 80s.
Um, they take a lot from that.
There's a lot of omages and, um, I think Ken Marino has even gone on record saying his,
his whole character, he stole, but he, he grew up, he took huge inspiration from one
of the characters in that movie.
So yeah, they're, they're doing parodies and homage is all over the place to
yeah, all summer camp movies like, all summer camp movies like rolled into one big silliness
of parody.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's just like, like that the beginning, it's so funny because the beginning is
almost like jarring because it's just like all of a sudden you just, it's just going.
It's just the, the camp counselor is just in the mix.
And then she's talking to the random assistant associate professor and like, I don't
understand like where he came from.
Well, that's so you're, you're skipping over the part of all the bull.
are in the girls's bunks and that's how that's after there's like a little bonfire
montage at the beginning where they're doing the credits and then the first like scene is all the boys
are in the girls bunks you know snuggling up and they wake up at seven or eight a m or whatever
it is and they're like oh shit get back to get back to your bunk and they're all running across
the field and you could uh wow what's her i forget her real name but the the camp counselor
camp director is just sitting there drinking her coffee watching them all
Janine Janine Garofalo yeah I think that's okay what was her best that's right yeah
character names yeah yeah Jeanine Garofalo you're right and then yeah the she's she
see it's like she looks he lit so it's the dude from Frazier David Hyde Pierce right
he's prazier right now he isn't Frazier but he's in Frazier he's his brother right I
think yeah I think yes yeah yeah
yeah doctor dr niles crane in uh yeah in fraser but so she he lives in uh or is renting a cabin
right next to the camp because he says he says he says he's there for the summer to like decompress
so i don't i think he's just renting it yeah he's tired of getting passed over you know and
i forgot because i haven't watched this movie in forever it's not one that i like watch back a lot
you know i forgot about the absurd plot for like the space junk that they had to like knock it offline
and then he won the prize like whatever the science prize was and then he gets his uh 10 year at the
university i just i forgot that that and he when he like first says no to jeanine garapal and she's like
hey, hitting on him, and he's like, hey, come like, teach the kids about science and he goes into the, um, the cafeteria and he's like, he's like trying to, like, not say it.
And then he finally goes, I'm looking for like the indoor kids.
Him and, uh, and Beth's, uh, conversations are wild. There's, because she goes, uh, there's a couple of times where he goes, uh, when he, like, introduces himself.
Um, he's like, oh, yeah, I'm Henry.
Then she calls him Henry and then he follows up with, oh, yeah, just call me Henry.
And there's like so much, and then, and he's like, I'm the associate, uh, professor of astrophysics and she goes, oh, what do you teach?
There's so many like, they're just like not talking over each other and repeating so much.
They do that like throughout their conversations.
It's so awkward.
And I love how she like reads whatever out of the book about physics.
and then comes back and when they're both it when they both go to the library to figure out what
the other person does and uh what does he what does he say he goes oh i can't believe you had all
that time uh to read up on astrophysics when you got you know insurance and and payroll and he
starts listing all the camp stuff he's all yeah as a matter of fact the first summer
camp yeah that's it um i i was uh
chatting with chat GPT this morning getting my notes worked out in my head um and it said um like
i pulled up an article that i clicked into i think and it was like you want to watch this back
like a few times but don't pay attention to the plot and stuff and like look for like there's
they like purposefully added a ton of continuity errors like the random rains and just like just
the most weird stuff the best the best one is when they go when they go when she goes to the
library and a bunch of them come with her they go into town and it's a huge montage of them
at the library smoking smoking cigarettes doing or shooting up heroin yeah oh my god and like
it's a huge Connie dies like she looks like OD'd like there's a huge montage and then they
cuts to them driving back into town and the one dude's like oh yeah it's fun to leave
camp even if it was only for an hour yeah that it took me like they ended that and i was like
i'm so confused as to what just took place here i did love how uh because they both went to the
library henry and beth to read up on the other one's job i loved that the library uh
like the category had uh camp directing as a specific category it called out it's like it's right
I just the it it could have been like a short show you know what I mean like it's like those five minute clips it's a it's an SNL skit yes that they just they made they just kept going yeah it really was like and that's I feel like they had to do the cut with like the times of the day to like piece some of the SNL skits together because there is no other way to like piece the day together is it was just so.
like random so much so much happens yeah and then just abandoning the kids white
water rafting oh we haven't gotten to paul red letting the kid drown the the kid
parts of the my favorite my favorite them so yeah them abandoning the kids at the white water
rafting paul red lets two kids drown and then kicks two kids out of a van um but the best part is it's at the
very beginning uh or not the very beginning but it's at the beginning when she they have like um
the morning counselor meeting and she's going through and she goes she goes hey mckinley
there are four kids trapped in the rope course i meant to tell you that yesterday but i forgot
four kids just been chilling stuck in the rope course all night it is just yeah it's
then they kick they kick one kid out at the very beginning of the last day of camp they send him home
because he was he went into the office and was jacking off in front of the the security cameras
yes yeah and the best and the best my favorite part so i'm going to say that like five times
but one of my favorite parts is the the classic radio guy the the loudspeaker guy who
not plugged into anything nobody's listening to him yes and he hasn't showered all summer
yeah wild man and then they finally like force bathe him like they just shower him clothes and
all yeah this this movie is wild um but yeah paul rudd we got us we gotta touch on paul
well so we got to touch on paul rod and adjacent to paul rud the reason
that we're doing uh wet hot american summer is because our uh our good dear friend marguerite moreau
connie con is in this she plays katie paul robshell one of paul rhod's love interests yeah yeah
and then after we talk about connie we'll just have to run down all the names that are in this
that people might recognize because it's crazy it's yeah everybody hands down and i'm
I'm sure I'm not the only person that agrees with this, but I think that hands down, Paul Rudd's seen where he's like, because he's just like a lazy, whiny, like, doesn't want to do anything except for make out and be cool.
He's the, he's the classic cool guy.
Where's a jeet jacket.
Yeah.
He's got shades on.
And when he throws his tray off the table and, and she's like, pick it up, pick it up.
and then he like he picks it up like oh oh and like picks up like one fork like he acts like
the fork is like it was yeah well so he he's an incredible performance he slides his plate
of food off the table into the into the end onto the ground crashing everywhere yeah right in front
of her yeah and she goes uh are you going to pick that up and he goes oh yeah yeah i just
I got a lot of stuff going on, you know, right now I got to.
She's like, no, you got to pick it up.
So he like throws his little fit.
He walks over to the table all like huffy puffy and then he like looks, he like looks back to
see if she's still like watching him to make him do it.
And he's like, uh, and then he goes and yeah, picks up everything like a like a
pissed off toddler.
It's it's incredible.
It's and and when Elizabeth Banks is just gnoshing on the ribs.
and she has barbecue sauce all over her face like that was the point of that scene
I can't just there was no point for that scene and he was like that's gross yeah and then when
they're making out on the boat when he like throws the kid out afterwards because he interrupts
he's like oh you taste like a burger you disgust me now yeah you taste like a burger i don't like you
you anymore oh my god so another so when when he's uh right before he lets the first kid drown
right there everybody's at the swimming swimming in the lake or whatever him and jj are you know
sitting there's sitting down on the dock and uh the kids like can i take the power boat uh out
and he just starts driving that around um that's good but um then like
Elizabeth Banks walks up and he's like, oh, I really, I just want to make out with her so bad.
And JJ is like, what about, uh, what about Katie? What about Connie? And he's all who?
And then the, JJ does the slickest like, like pro wingman move. Whereas Elizabeth Banks is
walking over us or actually, she's swimming over to the dock. He gets up fully closed,
walks over to the dock and just falls in. Dead man.
he like does the dead man fall it's amazing yeah real bro move there yeah the kid in the power
board comes back somehow he survives the power bow he doesn't crash and parks it parks it but then
he gets out of the power boat it realizes he can't swim and so he drew it's it's and then the
And they just, and they just move on.
Well, the other kid, the other kid comes up and he's like, hey, uh, is it Andy?
Andy's his name, right?
Yeah.
Paul Rudd's name.
He's like, hey, Andy, where's my, uh, swimming buddy?
Yeah.
He's like, I don't know, dude.
And he's like, if he, if that, if you, if you let my swimming buddy drown, I'm going to tell everybody.
That's what he kicks him out of the, he's, what is he's like, he's like, let me, uh, let's go for some pizza.
You like pizza?
he puts them in the van
the
the plot of him
getting mad at the kids and then just
driving them out in the van and dumping
them in the woods
it's epic
he dumps him in the woods but he
doesn't he doesn't actually like take them
into the woods
if you watch the scenes
those van scenes he pulls out of the
camp
and then within 30 seconds
he kicks them out of the van
And it's like they're these kids could easily get up and walk back into can it's a very clear
path back yeah to follow the road you took one turn and then 30 seconds later you kicked him out
oh god we haven't even started talking about the whole victor and neal scene which is the guy from
party down and joe latrillo from uh brooklyn nine nine and how he just he thinks he's the coolest
guy ever and then he's like i know man i'm a virgin i love that seat so you know he's all dude you
you're such a loser i can't believe you you're such a loser dude and when he jumps out of the
boat and he's like he has the map he's the only one that can navigate these waters and so he just
leaves the kids on their own and then he grabs the motorcycle he grabs like actually he
love how he grips the motorcycle but also when he when he's leaving when he's like oh he's got
the map he's the only one who knows how to navigate these waters i got to go find him dead or alive
i got to go find him and the kid the kid the kid goes no no alive we want him alive
yeah that's like i think we want him alive uh and then when he he sees victor sees um him pulling up on the
motorcycle and he starts running and then they just have the random hay bale in the middle of the
road that he jumps over epically like and that whole scene where he got chased on the motorcycle
was absurd and then watching the motorcycle come up to the bail of hay the it's like so obvious that
it's a stunt driver that that was like his the wig like flops like honest and um the the whole like
the kids in the raft and it's like the rapids are coming and you can tell they're just sitting in still water
yeah well and they're like save us they're uh there's like the time that they're waiting there
right before the waterfall is hours hours they're there it is um yeah it's it's just absurd it's
Yeah. And then, yeah, there's just, I mean, there's so many absurd things. The NASA Skylab going to crash near the camp. And how and the at the talent show, um, oh, he's the comic book store owner from Big Bang Theory. I forget his name, Stuart. He's Stewart and Big Bang Theory. And he does like, and I like, it's just the most absurd concept that for his,
And the prep that he does for his talent show thing, where he just, like, uses his superpowers for the wind.
And it just, it was absurd.
And then he gets the standing ovation.
And, like, the bigger guy with the longer hair is, like, the bastion of cool, I guess.
Like, he just knows what cool is because he was the one dictating the applause, I felt like.
He would boo.
Everyone would boo.
that well that's his older brother the JJ um is the the dude who's the dude in the talent show
the big bang guy that his old his older brother is JJ oh gotcha I didn't pick up on that
there's the there's a scene there's a scene early where he's uh the sign the talent um show guy
is sitting at all by himself and hit and j j and mckinley like walk up to him and they're like
hey dude what you're doing over here and he does like the robot voice and he's like I was programmed
not to talk to you and then mccanley is like dude your brother's a fucking loser dude
that's i was programmed not to talk to you i actually when that happened i was like is that
where grandma's boy got it maybe you grandma's grandma's boy was right around this time right
was maybe a little later don't see oh no grandma's boy was 2005
2006 that's that's way too late for grandma's boy
that's i i would have thought grandma's boy was like 2002 2001 no i remember 2006 is way too late
to be making a movie like grandma's boy i remember when i watched grandma's boy in the dorms
when it came out like somebody went and bought it on DVD had it playing in the dorm had a big watch
party who i thought it was just absolute peak comedy i was never a big big
grandmas or a guy i never got super into that like it niche like that and uh even 40 year old
virgin not a super big fan of that what else was in that little but yeah i never got into that
hmm probably because you're a hater you know i was too busy watching mighty ducks but
you didn't have a didn't want a car ban it's a fucking sweet carbon if we didn't have uh we didn't have a duck in
I didn't watch it my roommates got it for me that was the that cracked me up
yeah my roommates are recording samurai jack for me right now uh oh the other thing we got to talk
about is uh molly shannon's character gale oh my god yes molly shant didn't she's
don't do her divorce divorce with the her when i was in middle school when her when her
like whatever the character is where she sticks her fingers under the armpits and then she
smells them when she had a chokehold on middle school for us for a little bit was that
superstar yeah yeah it wasn't the like she did that they made that was another movie they made
off the SNL bit um because we used to like have like SNL mad TV we always watched it when we
just have there wasn't a lot going on so we just have small gatherings and basements and
would watch some Saturday Night Live and Mad TV flip back and forth because I was a big
Stewart fan too you know mommy what I can do you would be a Stewart fan wow dude wow anyways
so her character she's teaching arts and crafts doesn't even know where the crayons are
and then the girls like she's only she only has one crane we could color with these markers
there's like a hundred and she's like I guess you should be the teacher at first at first she pulls her
she pulls her aside she goes oh she she's like molly don't you don't you ever fucking
undermine me ever again it's i forgot about that she yells at the girl for undermining her
because she recommends using the hundred markers instead of everyone sharing the one brown
gran yeah and then the girl's like are you okay and that's when she breaks down she's like no
it's like uh raw me and ron are going through a divorce it's getting real crazy
even his lawyer won't call me back that was a fantastic line that's a great line you you know how
insane you have to be to not have the lawyer call you back did that lawyer you should yeah well like
and he wants that fodder you know like he's going to record that conversation and use that in the courts
to finalize that divorce and if he's going why is she why she calling the lawyer the first that and that and the
kid and how he like when he starts massaging her and she's she's like oh your hands are like
magic and then they end up together at the end of camp i do i do think it's important to point
out all of these counselors including beth and gale um i'm assuming beth right they're all
16 17 years old because they're camp counselors they're being played
by people in their mid 30s but they're 16 and 17 years old and that's part of the bit is the
these people are so old but they're playing 16 year olds and and that was the thing like that
that was it wasn't a joke at that time like they did that like it's seriously like so look
and say by the bell yeah you know like and no one loves say by the bell more than me and
i was so confused when people looked so young in the wild you know and it's like hey this is this
is an ac slater and zach morris like these kids look young yeah but yeah that's uh uh i
love when they're uh like towards the beginning when they're like planning to come back in 10 years
and oh my kids we're old we should be adult we're adults we should be able to get together at 930 a
am i believe his exact quote mckinley's exact quote is uh come on guys we'll be in our late 20s
i don't see why we can't be anywhere on time
It's so good. Oh, we haven't even talked about it yet. They went for it at the like it for 2001. They went for it with, uh, Bradley Cooper and Michael Ian Black, the sex scene. And they did. They did. Like the wedding, like the wedding out of nowhere cracked me up. I forgot about that part too that they like got secretly married. And then like the other boys are making fun of them and you think that like they're going to be mean with like their prank and act.
actually they are like they're terrible but then they end up getting him a really nice like give
from the registry they get it they get him with shage lounge um a shes lounge but they they do throw
they throw the they throw a couple slurs around yes yes i get i guess you can 2001 it was a different time
for 2001 yeah for 2001 i thought that they like most movies handle that much worse in
that moment you know like i thought like i was like it was just you know like even now i feel like you
don't see that type of like a sex scene in in movies and i thought you know what i mean like
definitely not the the sex scene they went for it like they it was very authentic like it was like
i was like oh i forgot about this too like they really got they really went for it um
but that thought they did a good job for 2001 yeah you know other than the other than the
that was the only that was the only misstep yeah yeah when they like flashed to the wedding
when they were spy i don't know why that just like it cracked me up because it was like wait
like why are they getting married like now because there's like 16 years old oh my god it was
it was it was it was fantastic it was fantastic like it was just anyways yeah it was i i thought
they did a good job for 2001 like you said outside of the you know the length
language that was frivolously tossed around but um outside of that it was they went for it
you know and i say shout out to them um and i did love the i did love the the close-ups on uh
both of their like three-quarter socks that was their feet cracking me up that was cracking me up
with the sock shots and keeping the socks on is always funny um yeah you know no matter who you are
they had socks and shoes yeah it's in you know what other but if you're gonna if you're gonna if
you're gonna if you're gonna do it in the shed at a summer camp you probably want to keep everything
that's true that's close to on as possible yeah yeah that's that's um you're you're getting a tetan
shot after that oh well i was just thinking from like a getting caught perspective you want to be able
to you know put everything back on real quick yeah that's true that's true i mean you know and everyone
knows when someone's yanking the pants back up.
I just, I feel like that it's just.
Well, yeah, but it's better to be able to yank the pants up in like two seconds than,
you know, your pants being over, over on the other side of the room.
Yeah.
And you're just ass out.
Yeah.
Exposed.
No, the bit with Amy Poehler and Bradley Cooper where with like how she keeps like talking about the,
the talent show and he like, and like, and then she's like, wait, no, he's the direct.
He's the producer.
and I'm the director slash choreographer.
I do love when she,
when they're going around at breakfast
and like pitching it to all the tables
and she's all.
Well, he starts off with
if you can't carry a tune,
just don't even show up.
Don't waste our time.
And then she goes,
she goes, come on, guys,
this is super serious.
Okay, we're doing this to,
we're not doing this to slack off.
We're doing this for the love of the talent show or whatever.
So you can leave your bullshit out of door,
attitude at the doors because we don't need it and the fact that they sang that really nice song and then
they just boo them i forgot about that part too that they just relentlessly boo the fact that they
sing that really nice little song and she like introduces like well you know like they didn't
practice very hard so don't judge us for the end result or something
like that it did you it did a lot of some a lot of the stuff did remind me of uh remember when
we did theater camp there's a lot of parallels yes theater camp did you ever brought a lot from this
did you ever go to a summer camp no they were remember like the 90s for sure and i think just
kind of into the early 2000s summer camps were like all the fucking rage i never went to one but
but there was like all the movies obviously about summer camps um nicolodeon had like a reality tv
show about a yeah remember that bug juice yeah yeah summer camps were camp onawanna yeah summer
hey dude um summer camps were like a specialty camp but yeah they were a they were a big
cultural thing though for a while yeah there was only the one heavy weights with fat camp you know
yeah there was only the one camp that i camp nowhere remember that
that oh yeah yeah you know see there's so so much so much fucking camp shit yeah i never went to a i never
went to a summer camp though me neither there was a limited availability in our area and i wasn't
about that life yeah oh i figured like the the the backwoods of nebraska i figure that's where
a lot of a lot of these camps would i guess i guess summer camps are like really just like a northeast
thing i think yeah there's there's a few like church ones but like you know like if you
you if you wanted to go to church camp you could go to church camp but that was the only option
it wasn't like it wasn't like these city kids where their parents would like go send them to camp
to get have them touch grass you know what it's it's just a different lifestyle i think that must be it
is it was like a new york city or like a big city northeast thing where yeah it's like you guys are
you guys haven't seen a tree in you know 20 years go to yeah it's been six months since you've
actually put your feet in grass like let's go do outdoor out of doors things did you
because we i never did a summer camp we did do when i was in was it sixth grade
it was either sixth or seventh grade we did um outdoor education did you ever have like an
outdoor ed type of thing so that was basically a week where my six and six or seventh
grade i forget what year i want to say it was six grade where my six year it was a whole week
in sixth grade of like in the middle of the school year um i think it was like
septemberish or so because it was before it got super cold but they would take the whole
grade up to like fucking estes park and the whole grade would stay in cabins for the whole week
and then we would just we would learn like what fucking berries to pick and you know what
do you do if you break your leg on a hike and shit like that jesus christ no we didn't that's
that must be a colorado thing it's absolutely a color every every time i bring it up to people they're like
what the fuck are you talking about that is that's crazy no i mean i even like the basketball camps i
went to they were usually in wayne and so at the college and so i didn't even stay at the dorms then
for those camps i stayed i was i did a bunch of i did a bunch of like basketball and baseball camps
but they weren't really camps because they were it was you know you stay in the dorm
well we didn't the ones i did the ones i did weren't even dorms because they were they were local
ones like it was like you know um it was like in denver or whatever so you would just drive down
for you know my my my mom would drop me off um at like you know nine in the morning
and then come pick me back up at like five or six whenever it was done um then you just go
home and you just do that for you know two or week or however long the camp is but i never again
never anything overnight other than the outdoor ed thing but that was only a week we need a couple
in omaha had crayton crating basketball camps yeah and um funny enough not the best neighborhood
to have a bunch of little kids we weren't allowed to go out at night from the door i mean since
it was actually not safe it's good stuff um you know but it was uh it was a lot of
of fun that was the camp where one of our coaches i sometimes get a little fired up and one of our
coaches made me like made me leave the gym and go stand outside to cool off like he he forced me
before he's like if you want to go back in and play in the game you have to go outside and cool
off before what are you doing dude i was i just get a little fired up you know and and and sometimes i
throwing bows yeah yeah just get a little fired up and i won't play well as i get mad at the
at the refs or something or you know i don't know just this played i played with a lot of fire brandon
i'm in aries and so played with a lot of fire and sometimes the coaches knew that the best thing they
could do was have me go cool off get my head right and then i'd start playing better again
you ever had that happened before no i never got i never got told to go wait outside
i didn't even know i was just standing out there like i've fouled i've fouled out of my share
games but never got told to go fucking wait outside he'd go outside and cool off as we said and i
went to sit down he's like i'm not kidding get outside and go cool off before you get back in this game
I definitely I mean I chilled out Brandon because there's nothing like I was just standing up there like
you know I may have overreacted I was a little little angrier than I needed to be and I came back in
and he's like do you feel better now and it's like well yeah I kind of stood in my shame for a little bit
like I'll calm down standing out there by yourself in the dead of winter yeah it was summer
it was at night though and so the temperature it got down it wasn't necessarily about
the me needing to cool off my temperature.
It was more of like, you need to calm down.
Well, yeah, obviously.
And there's no way for you to calm down outside of removing you from this game for a minute.
I just pictured you, you know, outside the gym with one little, you know, the little spotlight on you in the dead of winter with, you know, in your basketball shorts with snow, snow blowing around you.
just like eight crazy nights or something just like the sad like the saddest boy in omaha that day
yeah i definitely did i definitely did i've in basketball i definitely threw some cheap shots though
that you know not necessarily warranted i was never cheap i was just physical it was not as
athletic as everyone and if you're throwing bows man well like that's part of the game like you just i was
really good at boxing out and putting my big ass right into their guts before they
would want to go like i would turn and boom box them out right and they'd like knock the wind
out of them and then i'm getting that rebound see it's legal clean legal timing i would a cheap shot
of you i'd give you a i'd give you a four under the back of the head i i played in the
alumni tournament a couple years ago and I was just like I haven't played him forever and I just like turned around to like grab the you know like to bump the guy off to grab the rebound and he was like oh heath I forgot how much I hate playing against you he's like I'm having nightmares he was like two years older than me but I would they'd always make me go guard those guys because I was just tenacious you know I'd go toughen him up a little bit there's a little pit bull out there I was because I wasn't
athletic and have to like kind of be like you know i had to be like rodman except with less
athleticism yeah anyways speaking of rodman i just uh i was just uh saw a clip of uh i
forget what podcast it was but they were talking to john sally and uh he dropped a tidbit on
instead of uh instead of giving rodman like an act like the actual jerseys
that you know like the actual players wear um they would give rodman just like the replica jerseys
that like that they sell the team store and the reason they uh did that is because after every
single fucking game he would he take his jersey off and throw it into the stands yeah and they were
like we can't like get afforded this yeah so yeah so they just started giving him replica jerseys

Marguerite, Merro, whatever.
This is, I just kept, I kept thinking about my boy, Guy, the entire time.
and well and so we've got the katy andy coop love triangle that no one knows is a love triangle
except for coop what are your thoughts on she she she did lead him on they they make out in front
of the goats yeah that was a good moment that was the other thing I love I love so much is um all
of these people everybody's constantly making out with everybody and they're doing it in front
of the kids yeah like
the win uh when uh when victor and uh what was the at abby right abby was the girl the gum girl
when victor and abby are just posted up right in front of the van yes making out yes the kids are
like looking out the window ridiculous and that's where is you want a piece of gum yeah sure
and then the other kid with the glasses and he's like you want a piece of gum and she's like yes
and then she's like wait i think i should take my shirt off
It was an in the training montage with Coop and the guy from Law & Order SBU
when he catches him being sad.
And he just starts doing like a rocky training montage.
That was like that came out of nowhere again for once another moment that I completely forgot about.
They had the can of the can of vegetables at the front of the room or whatever.
watching that yeah like helping helping the one the cook guy coach it's like coaching him
and coaching it was and so katy andy are together and that's uh connie Connie Connie is Katie and
um she's she knows that coop is a bad guy and is bad for her but what does she say at the end
he's just like Andy Andy's bad for her yeah yeah yeah sorry and she knows coop is the good guy and he's
did you catch it on um when he's calling his parents and telling him that like he found a girl
and they're in love and you could tell that they asked him if she was jewish he goes he goes
oh no her nose is kind of big i love how she goes uh or because he's he's using the phone
in the office right in front of beth and uh that's reaction was perfect after the call yeah she's like
maybe don't get too excited and he his reaction to that is amazing to you because he's like
oh beth you fuck you jokester you're yeah you're crazy that was yeah the and then him playing the
old like because i him being the old guy hosting the talent show i don't know if i missed
it or just like because then they acted like they weren't the same person because at first i thought
no yeah they're not no you know like that was just the most random thing ever to like him just
also he that's uh the last time i hosted it was a prehistoric times they had taradactyl eggs for breakfast
and everyone is just dying yeah just throwing their headbacks but the the dude who plays
coop and the old man is uh michael show answer he is the co-writer of the the movie yeah um and then
David Wayne is the other co-writer
slash director
I don't think he plays
anybody
in the movie though
I don't think he's in it
yeah
but you would recognize
if he saw him you would recognize
David Wayne he's
he's you know
in with all these people
all the SNL
crew
what like what a
what a group of people
that
the
I
have the cast like pulled up jeanine garofalo as beth uh who's henry oh that's david hyde pierce is
henry michael's show walter is coop i don't know if he went on to do anything after this movie though
margaret more he i think he wrote a bunch of stuff let's see let me pull up uh oh he directed
yeah yeah he's more of a writer director he directed uh the big sick did you ever watch that uh that was a pretty
good movie um but yeah he's more of a writer writer director not not uh not too much on the
in in uh what i'm trying to say in front of the camera yeah he went behind the camera um all right let me
keep going marguerite morel katy paul red paul red is andy bradley cooper has been michael e m
black is mckinley amy poller as susy christopher maloney is jean molly shannon is gale um
Zach Orth, he did, he did small bits as JJ.
A.D. Miles is Gary.
He's another one that has like a ton of like small roles everywhere.
He, uh, he's in, um, role models.
He's the guy in role models.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Um, he's in role models.
Um, what else is he in?
He's, he's just a bit bit actor, I feel like he was any kind of place.
Silicon Valley.
Yeah.
He was in a TV series called Hot Sluts.
That sounds interesting.
Nice.
A couple episodes of Reno 911.
Nice.
Yeah.
And then Joe LaTruoglio is Neal.
He is the same character type cast and everything.
But Brooklyn 9-9, he absolutely crushes his character in that one.
Ken Marino as Victor, I like basically only remember.
Yeah, I only remember him from Party Down.
but he's in other stuff too he's another stuff he's also um he's a crazy good musician
oh really okay i see him on tictock all the time he it's him and a couple of these other people
as well that play instruments like i think um there's a couple other people that are in this
movie that are in his he has like a i think they're just called the dad the dad band or something
like that um but um you can find him on uh if you if you look up kim
Rino's like TikTok or Instagram and they just do like uh like 80s covers and they're
fucking amazing that's um that's sweet um two two more people h john benjamin is the can
of vegetables mentioned that before shout out bob for bob's burgers and archer um i haven't
watched archer and forever that that show was really good especially the first few seasons
those is the the well do you want ants this is how we get ants that is one of my favorite
bits i used to say that all the time the first couple seasons when they still call it
isis are pretty good yeah that's yeah that's fantastic and then um and then elizabeth banks
elizabeth banks uh you know like that's it yeah like that that was
think about that list of characters like the casting whoever the casting director was for this
movie i don't think you can pay them enough for their eye for talent these are these guys are all um
buds like these are all the um they're all friends they're like yeah they all like went to the same
improv uh school what is the fuck is it it's not is it groundlings that they're all from or not
all of them but most of them are from oh i don't know me oh upright citizens brigade that's
what i'm thinking of uh groundlings is the other one the other big one but um yeah like amy
polar um and a bunch of these people were
in Upright Citizens
Brigade, the Chicago Improv thing.
Like any
any good like
SNL
like sketch comedy
person
either when either was from groundlings
which is in New York or Upright Citizens
Brigade which is in Chicago.
Gotcha.
A little
inside the industry there for you.
But yeah, a bunch of these people are from
Upright Citizens Brigade. So they're all,
they've all been friends for a while um and then yeah and then i like bradley cooper i don't know how
they pulled him in um but yeah so i think it was it was a concerted effort i don't think the
i don't think the person casting was necessarily doing too much work i think it was a concerted effort
to be like we're all we're all funny friends let's make a let's make a funny thing funny movie together
yeah yeah yeah well they crushed it you know what they call a good old nepotism
Yeah. Well, they crushed it. I thought of Ernest goes to camp a lot. I'm so grateful that for it was on missing. We need some fucking Jim Varney in this, dude. It was on Amazon Prime for one month. They must. I don't know how they got the rights to it. It's never. And then they lost it. You can't even buy it on Amazon anymore. But for one month, it was available. And I watched it. And my God, I loved that movie. That was always a good.
dollar rental, you know, like I would always that and get some summer.
Ernest goes to camp in the, in like the 90, 1990, 1991 Royal Rumble.
My God.
That was eight-year-old Heath's dream afternoon right there.
Maybe some surf ninjas if you're feeling crazy.
And then like a Survivor series afterwards, you know, if you're having like a slumber
party type of weekend and everyone's just like, it's Friday night, you know, they're posting
up and running it back Saturday night.
you know you just it's like hey we're this is an investment what are you talking about what
you never had like slumber party weekends or you rented up a rented a whole bunch of cool
movies um yeah i guess but we weren't we definitely weren't renting earnest oh earnest was like
when i was like real little and i would go uh spend a day at my aunts and hang out with like my cousins
you're like oh let's throw ernest on yeah and then they make some some craft mac and cheese
for lunch you know the surf ninjas though that was a mainstay i rented that a lot
yeah surf ninjas um i don't think i've ever seen surf ninjas actually what no way rob schneider
again i'm not a i'm not a he's rob schneider guy well he's like 16 in the movie yeah but
Yeah, I'm just not a big Rob Schneider guy.
I forget that he's been proven to be a terrible father.
The main guy in it is in some of the other, like, karate.
Oh, he, the main guy in it is, um, uh, the, from Secret of the Ouse.
I think it's the same guy as the Ninja Turtles from Secret of the Ouse.
Okay.
Um, also.
Ernie Reyes senior and Ernie Reyes Jr.
Yeah, his dad played his uncle in the movie.
movie and then um leslie nielsen is the bad guy
isn't that the naked gun guy isn't that he is i don't yeah he is i don't know he was he's
real far down on the the cast sheet there that doesn't make sense he was like one of the main
characters i know that's why that's why i was looking at the top and he was like he's not there
and i had to scroll down he's got uh we got to talk to you we got to talk to leslie's agent here get him up on
I mean they remade the naked gun movies that probably won't be funny my
assumption I've heard pretty good things about it for people that have seen it
are we we have allowed them to lower the standards on what is a good movie like
they've been so bad lately I mean we do a podcast on the Mighty Ducks movies you
know those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones here about movie taste I'm
I've never said that I've had good movie taste, but like, I think we can all agree that movies have gone downhill.
I think, I think it's gone to the extremes.
Like a good movie now is way better than a good movie, you know, back then, but the bad movies are, uh,
I think that I feel like there's and everything else is just boring slop.
I was just going to say, there's no middle, like there's either if the movie's good, it's really good.
or it's really bad and there's no in between or it's just not worth your time like there's
you used to be able to yeah there's there's no good there's no good here here's a wrestling
uh wrestling mid card where there's no good mid card anymore the mid card's gone
it's true it's um and many many don't even get me started on the tag team division that's
and and uh ben affleck or no not matt damon did the said it like you know it's all about
you could you could take a risk and have the movie not do well in theater and you were going to get it back at you know for movie rentals or DVD purchases and that's just dead yeah what a shame man streaming killed the DVD star oh dude don't even get me started and now with the way it's going like with all the streaming services with all the fucking commercials it's the same price as cable I've been crunching the numbers I'm
I've been thinking about just canceling it all and just doing freaking YouTube TV because at least I can watch football games, you know?
Yeah, I have, um, because this is, it's cheaper to just do YouTube TV than do all the prescription or the subscription, not prescription.
Yeah, I, uh, they're switching ESPN is doing like a whole reconfig.
I know and they took the fucking paper views from WWE at the zone starting 2026, you have to have cable.
for pay-per-views you can't do them on peacock anymore you know but if you have
the ESPN you don't need cable I think you just have to pay for the the high-end
ESPN whatever thing disgusting but yeah they're reconfiguring all that in like
a week or so and I got to figure out what that's going to do to my bundle
because right now I have the Disney ESPN bundle I might just cancel that
um yeah I'm not once they switch over to ESPN
paper views i'm just not watching paper views anymore i'll catch the i'll catch the tictock highlights
yep exactly dude and that's i'm so sad about that they already kind of pushed me away when i got
stuck not being able to watch the video packages because i had to do the um ads for peacock because i
get the the like it's they lumped it in with my exfinity you know how like verizon did that does
the same thing with disney plus yeah yeah like you get it at a steep discount if you do it through
of Verizon yeah um what are they um do you know what they're doing with the back catalog
do you know where that's going is it saying on peacock i don't know i don't know if that if the
back catalog leaves peacock uh that i i'll want to cancel but kelly will probably not let me
because of love island oh yeah love island and psych no psych is on amazon prime oh is
i got that's another thing i got to cancel amazon prime too i had to get rid of that that's like
Amazon Prime is the only one that I would keep keep because of the you know you got to get stuff shipped to you
I got to stop buying Amazon stuff though that's that's my I think of like cut off prime I can you know
stop the stop running up the Amazon charges yeah I mean I mostly use it for like dog food
dog treats just like random stuff I have I do chewy for that for the dog food um
yeah amazon amazon i i i've had prime for forever and then when i moved into the new apartment
last year i got i got real real spend happy buying just like
random shit for apartment you know some of the stuff i did but i bought i paid
because the first when the first can opener i had was like just a shitty like
you know dollar 51 from target yeah and the thing fucking like exploded on me
And I got so furious
I was like I'm never dealing with this ever again
So I went and bought like a $20
Can opener from Amazon
And dude that thing is fucking nice
It's the best can opener I've ever
I've ever come across
You open up a lot of cans
A chef boy or D these days
No I fucking hate chef boarder D
Same
It's mostly
I'm a big canned corn guy
Loved me some canned corn
Or um
Or uh
I used to really throw down
On some baked beans.
Oh, yeah.
Or some refied beans.
Those are mostly, those are the three or black beans.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
I like to do a little rice black bean bowl, everyone so.
Not bad.
Not bad.
I used to love some spaghetti.
Did you ever?
No, I never.
I was a little kid, heat up some SpaghettiOs.
Chef Ward E SpaghettiOs was never, like, I don't know what it was.
The sauce is weird.
See, I could, mentally I couldn't get over.
like the canned marinera in parentheses sauce i couldn't get over that yeah yeah all right anyways
we went off uh the charts a little bit but um this is a good movie brandon it was a good
run back i really enjoyed it it wasn't like the greatest thing i've ever seen in my life
but it was fun it's silly it's dumb there's it's fun it's silly it's dumb and there's so many
good like one liner quotes like the and there's so many like weird things happening at all times
that like each watchback you're going to pick up on something like new i feel like they're like oh my god
i missed that that's so absurd yeah i my favorite quote in the entire movie is where it's the
it's like during the whole breakfast scene we're going to talk about some some of the breakfast
stuff too as well there's a there's a point in time during the breakfast
scene where uh ken marino victor asks uh the cook if he has mashed potatoes what are you getting mashed
potatoes at breakfast for that had to and then he like knocks the potatoes out of the guy's hands
and he's like yeah well but the guy the guy was carrying like uh um like what do they call it peasant
dyes home style oh yeah home fries yeah so i don't know what the the dude was fucking well who's
eating mashed potatoes for breakfast i mean i guess a potato's a potato it wouldn't be terrible but
it's just it's a weird because eggs have the same texture uh similar texture as mashed potato
so you want your potato crisp pair yeah yeah you need you need to balance the your
textures there brandon can't be doing mush on mush exactly exactly you know especially
if you're throwing some gravy in there you know
some like gravy
yeah some country sausage gravy
but um but anyway
my favorite quote of the entire fucking movie
is right before then uh when connie and um
uh paul red are you know going going back and forth
she's like all she's doing is like trying to get him to hang out
and he like freaks out on her and he's like
now damn it katie you're suffocating me
Then I'm pretty sure he calls her a dyke.
My favorite is the way that she like lets Cooper down by like not being gentle at all.
And she's like, oh, yeah, the night that's well too.
Because she they make out in front of the goat and then she's like, it's the will they
won't they kind of thing.
He does the phone call.
Then he walks in on her kind of breaking up with Andy because they're both.
She's crying.
Yeah.
And she's like, I'll talk to you later.
and then she kind of lets him down like I'm going to stay with Andy I don't want to be with you
and then the night of the talent show she's like screaming from the rooftops he's like
I love you coop I love you and he's like how do I know it's real and then the next morning
she's like yeah I'm dumping you again yeah and the way she did like do you remember how she said
it she's like I know he's terrible but like he's chiseled like a god and I don't I just want to
have it's purely sex i just want to fuck his brains out until the early morning i have i have the
full quote here if you want yeah because it is it's she lets him down like a bag of bricks like a
ton of bricks you know do you want do you want the whole thing yeah yeah say she goes she walks up to him
the the morning everybody's leaving and after the talent show and everything and she good after
the night before she screamed yeah how much she loves him and she goes uh listen coop
Last night was really great.
You were incredibly romantic and heroic, no doubt about it.
And that's great, but I thought about it.
And my thing is this, Andy is really hot.
And don't get me wrong, you're cute too, but Andy's like,
it's hot from marble.
He's gorgeous.
He has this beautiful face, this incredible body,
and I genuinely don't care that he's kind of lame.
I don't even care that he cheats on me.
And I like you more than I like Andy, Coop,
When I'm 16, maybe it'll be a different story when I'm ready to get married.
But right now, I'm entirely about sex.
I just want to get laid.
I just want to take him and grab him and fuck his brains out, you know?
So that's where my priorities are right now.
Sex.
She goes specifically with Andy, not with you.
That's okay.
Thank you.
I was going to say, don't miss that last part because the last part is like the turn of the knife.
And then she ends it with I still totally want to be friends.
That's that was amazing that specifically with you or specifically with Andy now you not you not you.
I just I just want to worry about sex, but specifically at Andy not with you.
What is?
Oh my God.
She is.
Oh.
And after and yeah, Coop is just he, you know, he's never stood a chance.
no you never stood a chance or coop he needs a better haircut it's we've been dog in we call that the heath we call that the heath haircut
we've been uh we've been dogging jen from dawson's creek all the season two for her bad haircut so we got to call out
coops horrific haircut yeah it was rough it did him no favors it made his it made it seem like his nose
stuck out right like i feel like it did no no favors to his facial as somebody with a
a relatively big nose yeah yeah any type of that like blunt bowl cut stuff is just going to draw attention
to it you got to you need more flow in the front not that i have any flow i just don't have any
hair um but uh but yeah that was uh that was really wild stuff with uh the way that Connie let
cooped down but it was fantastic the night of the talent show uh you mentioned the sky lab
uh fucking uh falling from the sky the talent show dude doing his whole thing um and then we had uh
they tracked down they finally tracked down victor because victor the whole reason the whole
so he's trying to bang uh what was her name again was it i forget but he's trying to he's trying to
what is and then what the fuck does he say at breakfast he's like uh is it is it not is it am amber might be i don't
know who's the fucking abbey so he's trying to he's trying to bang abbey um and he he's talking to uh
i think he's talking to mckinley right or no he's talking to coop he's talking to coop uh while they're
walking to get what's right before he asked for fucking mashed potatoes but they're walking and he's
like uh he's like making eyes at abby and abby's like you know fucking licking the spoon
all over yeah uh and he's like uh that's another thing when he just goes up to everybody and he's
like oh she totally wants to have sex with me right that's the only reason she'd be
talking to you is if she wants to have sex with me right but but the quote is he goes
i god i need to fuck abbey she's the he says she's the only berry bush i haven't
pollinated yet the wild quote that's a wild quote but so so yeah so he has to go take
them to the white water abby's like don't go stay here and let's fuck um so
So he takes him to the river and then takes off.
Takes off with the van, crashes the van.
And that's when Neil comes with the motorcycle and he's chasing him.
But so the whole reason he's running back to camp is because he's trying to fuck Abby.
Meanwhile, Abby is making out with everybody else at camp while he's gone, including one of the campers.
The kids.
In front of like, wasn't it in front of back?
too granted they're playing 16 year olds yeah and the camper was what 12 yeah not a great
look 13 maybe we'll say 13 that's generous that's generous not a great look but um but so he finally

my god uh anyways um yeah who who would you who would you be which which which character would
you be in who i was so i was thinking about that when i was watching it i was having a hard time with
it i so i i was thinking to myself probably i'd probably be the assistant to the chef
oh so i was right then when i called you mr kick ass mr rubber burner yeah i guess yeah
yeah you probably yeah yeah you probably would yeah the guy he makes that with abby yeah but like it's
no one would have expected it kind of you know not not like a dork but dork adjacent yeah but
still out there pollinating berry bushes it's jesus it's gary gary jean's assistant in the kitchen
loyal and weird if that doesn't describe me i don't know what does brandon so i would be gary
i think okay sorry i interrupted you what were your thoughts you were thinking about it during the
while we were watching so i would when i was watching it i was thinking i was like uh who who would
would i'd be i would probably be you know somebody fucking cool just you know coolest guy in town
super good with the ladies maybe maybe i'm andy you know just fucking crushing it
and then and then it dawned on me heath and then it dawned on me you know who i would be
the can of vegetables that's not bad but i was going to say i'm gale
this is it why why are you gale is it is it not obvious
because you're going through a divorce well no but i mean if if you have to ask
you'll never know he's i guess i don't know i gale just a just a just a sad sack of gale
You're just she's the most emo character I don't know I don't know who I would be though
I don't I mean there's a it's a real shot you'd be jean Gary who I don't mind Jean I did go to
nom you ever he's seen that uh you could be Neil Brandon I was thinking maybe
Neil I don't know if I'm cool enough to be neat I don't know if I wouldn't be able to
ride a motorcycle that's true are you are you uh victor no i'm cooler than victor okay i think i think
i think you're right i think i think i think i'm a neal uh that's a good one i would love to be
jean though jean would be sick um that all it was reminding me the whole time of it's always sunny
in philadelphia when they're um i forget what episode it is but uh danny de videos going around
telling everybody he was in nom and then dennis is like is he telling you that he went to he was in
nom he went there in 1993 he was buying sweatshops oh that's good stuff uh anyways well i think those
are good characters assignments gary and neal we know we're not the main characters yeah i still
i do see a lot of similarities between me and gale though you know very very similar coping mechanisms
it's wild
I just love how they're
that that whole dynamic
fucking cracks me up
because she's
she's breaking down in front of all of them
the one dude what's the kid's name
Aaron right I think is what is the kid's name is
Aaron he's like I don't remember
they're like comforting her
Aaron's like trying to like pump her up
he's giving her massages
they're running through like phone call scenarios yeah uh they're just i forgot about the role
play they're just doing so much and then and then at the end uh she uh her and erin are like
together yes she invites beth and henry to uh to like a shrimp cocktail party right yes
oh god oh and then that's uh that's another good joke
when beth is like uh she's like oh yeah we'll come to the the shrimp cocktail party as long as
you're not serving jumbo shrimps because i'm allergic to oxymorons
you don't do you remember it do you remember it i just i gave you word for word the scene
i just i just right damn it you wouldn't you know you're fucking you got me crazy
I was in god damn nom he
you would be can of vegetables
I would take that can of vegetables is the fucking uh hero of the show
i take that back you are not a spirit guide you would be the worst
spirit guide ever i would be I would be the best spirit guide you know why
because I wouldn't want to be a spirit guide
you know the the true leaders are not
born their chosen brain exactly exactly uh anyways do you have anything else to say
about this movie I feel like we covered a lot well also saying nothing at the same
we also do we are going to do because there's two mini series um sequels to this
there's first day at camp and then there's 10 years later which are two Netflix
mini series of this we're gonna talk about both of those we got we got time
to delve into this a lot more even deeper um and i believe what did i write down as our plan
we're going to do first day of camp next cool what a journey um so yeah this is just the beginning
of uh our wet hot american summer hmm sounds sounds wet and hot yeah uh i try to make that sound as
terrible as possible i can't believe you didn't clock the uh the original songs and the credits i
turned it off as soon as the credit started oh you missed the there's an uh end of credit scene
oh really oh shit sorry it's terrible with the end of credit scenes it's it's nothing excited it's uh
j j uh it's like 10 years later and jj walks in and at 930 and he walks in and he walks in and
everybody's already there he's like oh i thought he said 9 30 and they said and they said and eight
Amy Pollard goes, no, we said nine, so we'd be here by 9.30.
And then it ends.
Blame.
It's a good callback, though.
Yeah, I guess. Yeah. You're right.
But, oh, oh, we got a cakey.
Oh, yeah. Oh, shit.
Cakey's in a month's bounce.
Sorry.
Is this your, is this your goddamn first rodeo, Heath?
Oh, Brandon, don't even talk to me like that.
Are you kidding me?
What's yours? You go first.
Me? I didn't fucking think about this at all.
I'm going to go 3.63.
363.
Okay, that's kind of a low one for you.
I feel like it is like this.
I like this movie.
It was fun, but like it's not like a super rewatchable.
You know, it's no newsies.
Yeah.
I'm going to go 3.5.
Three and a half.
The cast carried it, right?
Like this is just the cast of character.
were so well acted that it made all the absurdness believable like we mentioned
as a movie it's unhinged and incomprehensible but yeah there's so many funny
parts there's so many one-liners all of the all of the character bits they're doing are
pretty hilarious but it's yeah it's it's a wildly unhinged and incomprehensible plot
yeah yeah it's good stuff but yeah good movie good fun
summer movie to go back to
the days of old
yeah pre 9-11
like when we are
things were simpler Brandon
like in the good old days
you could just walk onto a
tarmac and hitchhike
your way across the country on an airplane
encouraged it
used to be able to smoke
everywhere
well in oh one they were kind of putting the no that was going away yeah public smoking
could still smoke in the bars trust me because he used to have to have bar clothes if you went to
the max and wane america that sounds like a like a ridiculous place the max yeah is it still
there did i go there yeah which one was that i remember the white dog white dog i remember
maxes directly across the street oh okay that's where the younger kid the kids were yeah
yes the huge hang at the max white dog is where the moms were hitting on me and then uh me at
max is the is the one where all the college kids were yep you got it okay yeah wait

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
