He's, uh,
Starting point is 00:03:37 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
Starting point is 00:04:29 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
Starting point is 00:05:23 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
Starting point is 00:06:18 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
Starting point is 00:07:14 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.
Starting point is 00:08:14 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
Starting point is 00:08:47 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
Starting point is 00:09:24 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
Starting point is 00:10:14 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.
Starting point is 00:11:22 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
Starting point is 00:11:59 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
Starting point is 00:12:53 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
Starting point is 00:13:47 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
Starting point is 00:15:06 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
Starting point is 00:16:08 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.
Starting point is 00:16:58 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.
Starting point is 00:17:39 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.
Starting point is 00:18:05 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
Starting point is 00:19:00 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
Starting point is 00:19:54 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.
Starting point is 00:20:09 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
Starting point is 00:20:33 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
Starting point is 00:20:47 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
Starting point is 00:21:40 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
Starting point is 00:22:32 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.
Starting point is 00:24:01 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
Starting point is 00:24:36 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
Starting point is 00:25:26 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
Starting point is 00:26:25 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
Starting point is 00:27:15 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
Starting point is 00:28:05 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
Starting point is 00:29:00 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
Starting point is 00:29:51 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
Starting point is 00:31:01 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
Starting point is 00:31:52 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
Starting point is 00:32:48 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.
Starting point is 00:33:23 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.
Starting point is 00:33:44 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.
Starting point is 00:33:58 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
Starting point is 00:34:16 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
Starting point is 00:35:14 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
Starting point is 00:36:01 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
Starting point is 00:36:47 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
Starting point is 00:37:35 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
Starting point is 00:38:22 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
Starting point is 00:39:18 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
Starting point is 00:40:15 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.
Starting point is 00:41:01 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
Starting point is 00:41:53 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
Starting point is 00:43:12 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 to wear in the game bank more on course when you switch to a scotia bank banking package Learn more at scotiabank.com slash banking packages.

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
Starting point is 00:46:31 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
Starting point is 00:47:31 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
Starting point is 00:48:17 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
Starting point is 00:48:30 he's you know in with all these people all the SNL crew what like what a what a group of people that the
Starting point is 00:48:43 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
Starting point is 00:49:34 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.
Starting point is 00:50:03 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.
Starting point is 00:50:22 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
Starting point is 00:50:47 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
Starting point is 00:51:34 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
Starting point is 00:52:24 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
Starting point is 00:52:51 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.
Starting point is 00:53:07 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.
Starting point is 00:54:10 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.
Starting point is 00:54:40 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
Starting point is 00:55:40 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.
Starting point is 00:56:08 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
Starting point is 00:56:49 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.
Starting point is 00:57:39 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.
Starting point is 00:58:51 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
Starting point is 00:59:35 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
Starting point is 01:00:20 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
Starting point is 01:01:15 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
Starting point is 01:01:42 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
Starting point is 01:01:57 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.
Starting point is 01:02:09 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.
Starting point is 01:02:21 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
Starting point is 01:02:58 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
Starting point is 01:03:51 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
Starting point is 01:04:30 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.
Starting point is 01:04:59 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.
Starting point is 01:05:24 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
Starting point is 01:06:07 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,
Starting point is 01:06:39 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.
Starting point is 01:07:00 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.
Starting point is 01:07:20 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.

Starting point is 01:10:26 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.

Starting point is 01:18:40 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
Starting point is 01:19:37 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.
Starting point is 01:20:14 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.
Starting point is 01:20:29 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.
Starting point is 01:20:50 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
Starting point is 01:21:11 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
Starting point is 01:21:46 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
Starting point is 01:22:05 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 him here god's country
