we have a great episode lined up for the listeners. We've got another movie we're talking about today. It is a movie. I will Today It's It is a movie I will say that It is a movie I remember this being so much better Same here Like when we were doing some episode planning

I remember how fired up I was To be like listen Terry and Jesse's dad I was like Terry and Jesse's dad reprises his role of being a great father and plays the Rock's dad in the movie The Walking Tall. It's a wonderful movie, Walking Tall. all yep and so yeah that's that's how we get the mighty ducks connection connection is we have our our our favorite father john beasley who played uh the jesse and terry jesse and terry hall's parent dad in uh the first mighty ducks yep he plays chris vaughn senior in this uh this remake um which came out 2004 2004 Walking Tall starring Heath The Rock

not Dwayne Johnson not Dwayne The Rock Johnson just The Rock I this is like just hitting super duper star prime for The Rock too

heavyweight champ really holding down the fort on smackdown i think it was when they first launched smackdown like on the back of the rock um i just i loved this movie when i was younger and then when i re-watched i was like oh dang this movie is just like okay but i think i remember it so fondly because it came out four days before my 18th birthday senior year of high school 2004 it's april i either went and saw this in the theater in norfolk or we rented it from hollywood video right when it came out you know with the with a big group of kiddos you know and we'd all go hang in the basement way in america watch a movie uh so yeah i just i had a lot of fun another another movie that i have a lot of fond memories of but man running it back it was

like oh this is just okay there's a few really fun parts like when they uh when they strip the truck that's that's classic stuff right there when john roxville and the rock are completely stripping the truck down no no goddamn reason yeah why would he hide the drugs in the car that he's driving around constantly well they were trying to torture him by tearing apart his truck and coerce him into letting them know where the lab was at because they didn't know it was in the in the mill yet Brandon so that's what they were doing it was coercion it's dirty cop

behavior you know he becomes the evil that he tries to rid the world of talk about abusive power fucking this dude listen Brandon you know what? I'm going to do this. Also, you know what?

I just found out there's so many Walking Tall movies. There's like five. In the 70s, there was like four, right? There's three. Oh, three movies. And then you said there's a show? There was a show that in the 80s, 1981, only one season, seven episodes. And then there was this one with the rock and then after this one they made two other ones oh we're starring uh what's his name the

dude who played hercules on tv you know back in the early 90s oh yeah yeah i don't remember his name he played a bounty hunter in psych not to always yeah every episode since kevin so kevin sorbo yeah he played um his name is sorbo yeah kevin sorbo so there's walking tall the payback and then walking tall let's see the other one and it's based loosely on a true story. Yes, that's the other insane thing. Walking Tall, The Payback, Walking Tall, Lone Justice. That's the other movie. But yeah, it's loosely based on a true story of Buford Pusser. Buford Pusser, who was a...

I believe the original takes or not the original. I believe the true story and the original movie take place in Tennessee, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah. Around Nashville. Yeah. About a real dude. But yeah, so we get Mr. Hall. That's why we're doing this movie. He plays the Rock's dad, does a a great job has a kill count on him yeah he actually pulls out the shotgun yep he shoots the dude that johnny knoxville stabbed in the stomach with a potato peeler which was another fun wrinkle yeah do what you gotta do man those potato peelers come in handy you know what this movie inspired me to do, though? It actually reminded me of like smaller known roles of the rock that sometimes you forget about, especially like pre bodybuilder rock.

And so I went back and watched the other guys. Do you remember that classic with Will Ferrell and Marky Mark. The Rock and Samuel L. Jackson jump off a 20 story building trying to catch robbers and get killed. Yeah. Yeah. Man, that was another really, really classic rock movie. He's only in it for a little bit, but I love that movie. Yeah.

Right. Yeah. It's solid. I've been pre bodybuilder rock uh has some weird he's got some weird ass movies because that's when he's just trying to build the credit yeah yeah well so the other movie that's basically exactly like this one is the rundown and it came out almost the exact same time too we'll have to look this out look real quick and see what rundown was 2003 so a year before

the year before okay and the rundown was awesome with john william was it sean william scott yeah um and i forget who the girl is but she's famous too in that movie uh i don't know christopher walkinson that's you right yep he's the he plays the bad guy. Okay, yeah, I hear. Okay, I got it here. Who's the girl? Oh, Rosario Dawson. Yes, Rosario Dawson. And that movie was awesome because it was basically the exact same as this, but you replaced Johnny Knoxville with Sean William Scott. You replaced the unknown girl from this movie

with Rosario Dawson. You replaced the bad guy with this, with Christopher Walken and you have, you know, instead of small town sheriff fighting, you have jungle country. Well, they're looking for a treasure in the rundown instead of, instead of stopping a, um, drug Lord, that's running it out of a casino yeah but very very soon i mean you know the rock plays essentially the same character in every single movie he's have you seen his range is not that great have you seen that when it's the same outfit like every if you need a jungle

movie but hold on we can't let's't, let's not besmirch The Rock like that because Jumanji was awesome. Jumanji was good. Jumanji was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Yeah. Jack Black fucking kills it in Jumanji. I fucking love Jack Black, dude.

The 14 or 15 year old girl. Yeah. What's that? Gulliver'siver's travels did you ever watch that that was ridiculous uh saving silverman is hands down my favorite jack black movie of all time i love saving silver saving silverman's up there i love orange county orange county is great orange county is good but it is not even like the Neil Diamond wrinkle. I'm a sucker for School of Rock. I fucking love School of Rock. Oh, okay. You're right.

With the one girl from iCarly is in it. Yes. iCarly's in it. Yeah. School of Rock is super awesome. That is a very underrated movie. But yeah. All right. So let's get back to this. I don't know how we got onto jack black

but there we go this movie was not not as not not not as good like you said earlier not as good as i remember it being uh but essentially like you said based on a true story so former this is loosely based on the what'd you say his name was the the buord Pusser. Buford Pusser. And so essentially in this take on it, The Rock plays Chris Vaughn, who's a former U.S. soldier that returns to his hometown in Kitsap County, Washington, which is a real county in Washington. Probably my favorite county in Washington. For those not familiar, that's where Bainbridge Island is. You got Bremerton you got Port Orchard a whole bunch of like tiny little coastal towns great wineries and over in uh in

Bainbridge yeah yep Bremerton Port Orchard that's gonna that that's where like I think that area is where this is this town because the town in the movie is ferguson okay um which is a fake town it's not a real town but i i believe that's based on like the brimerton port orchard area because the brimerton port orchard area is it's a lot of uh like former military families um that that kind of area lumber all over the place lumber mills a lot of navy that kind of stuff and so I think that's the area they were going for with this so he comes back to town

finds out that his beloved town is now overrun with crime and corruption and you know what he's going to do Heath he's going to kick their Rudy Poo candy asses he's going to stand up and walk tall that's what he's going to do their Rudy Pooh candy asses I say he's going to he's going to stand Up and walk tall that's what he's going to do

Oh yeah that damn it you're right He's going to Not only is he going to stand up Brandon He's going to fight back And then he'll walk tall And then he'll Kick their Rudy Pooh candy asses For the millions He's going to check them into the smackdown hotel that's

what he's gonna do yeah uh but but yeah so that's our uh that's the the plot here and you have uh the crime and corruption he comes back to is run by his – so he comes back and he finds all his high school buddies, I'm assuming, right? All the high school buddies. Yeah, and the mill is closed. The wood mill is closed. Yeah, so that's the reason he comes back to town because he's out of the – did they say what mill? Special forces, right? Yeah.

Special forces. Might have been a Navy SEAL if he's up in the Northwest there. I think it was either it was either navy seal or marine special forces i think um but so it says u.s army so i don't listen to me i don't know anything about the just there we go but he has special forces but so he comes back because he's been uh he's he's out of the the army now he's he's a he's a free man free from his contract yeah so he's he wants to go work at the mill that his dad used to work at or that he believes his dad still works

out yeah and so he gets to town finds out the mill's closed and then that's when he finds out the town is just overrun with corruption yeah because his high school buddy got the inherited the mill and then closed it down yeah so Yeah, so one of his high school buddies essentially owns the town. Well, I mean, spoiler alert, Jesus Christ, man. A little professionalism here. What are you talking

about? Everyone has seen this movie by now. It's like 15 years old. His right-hand man high school buddy is uh johnny knoxville plays ray ray templeton what a great fucking name dude ray ray ray ray goddamn templeton and then his other buddy who is uh running the town yeah uh who inherited it from his family is Jay Hamilton played by Neil McDonough who is if you've

ever watched a movie with Neil McDonough in it 99% chance that he's the bad guy what else is he in he is let's go to the tape here let's go to the sorry not to put you on the spot there

so he's in minority report yeah okay he's in captain america the first avenger that that movie he doesn't play he doesn't play a bad guy that's the one the one that he he plays somebody who's not you know where i remember him from the most is band of brothers beta brothers yeah and fortunately he gets uh has a has a tough time loses all of his buddies on the battlefield and then just kind of that's true he's not a bad guy in that one too you're really throwing out my paul blart mall cop too he was a bad guy in that though yeah suck it heath what uh what a cinematic masterpiece that is pa Paul Blart with your boy, Kevin. Kevin James, dude.

Kevin James, yeah. That's your favorite actor of all time. Did you notice that the kid in this movie is from Holes, by the way? Yeah, yeah. Just completely changed directions on you, but I thought that was fun. That's a great movie, too. That's a solid. Sh that's a shy shy above that's that is his third best movie you know the first two transformers are ahead of that okay first two transformers then holes then the third transformer for top four shia labeouf movies of all time okay i honestly

don't even know what other movies he acts in but i'm sure they're great um he's in uh lawless with uh tom hardy that one was pretty good yeah that one's fine he's in uh fury fury that one was pretty good not better than holes people did not like him on that set he pissed everybody off because i mean he pisses he's a fucking bananas dude he pisses everybody off he's kind of insane yeah yeah yeah let's let's get back to walking tall once again i think we're struggling with leo thomas is is the guy from holes he played he played zero in holes he plays the rock's nephew in yeah who almost ods off of crystal meth then the bouncers sell to his friends on purpose to manipulate the

yeah so so so the rock the rock comes into town he has just a a fantastic game of pickup football with his high school buddies yeah just a real cut throat fucking tackle football notepads fucking don't try to tell people his acl acls man it's fucking ruthless out there yeah but so then that's when he goes he finds out the jay hamilton neil mcdonough owns the casino or whatever he invites him over there he's like hey come have a good time the rock goes to this casino having a great time he was not there to have a great time he was complaining on the drive up there he's complaining when they got there and then the first sign of like shiftiness in the casino he decides to beat the at everybody he was there he was there for a fight he was not there to have fun he came out fucking swinging right away as someone who's known to be

kind of a badass you know um as myself going sorry if someone is gonna play loaded dice and fuck with my money like that you better believe that some skulls are gonna be cracking some heads are gonna be split some fists are gonna get thrown around brandon Do you know how fucking tough guy I am? This is where I side with Neil McDonough's character, one and only point, which is right here. Because later on in the movie, he goes, why would you not just bring this up to me? Which is a great fucking fantastic point.

Your buddy owns the casino. Why would you not go to him and be like, hey, dude, i saw one of your one of your bros down there fucking loaded playing with loaded dice and fixing the games and shit granted that wouldn't have gotten him anywhere it wouldn't have solved the problem because the dude was was in on it but you lead with that you don't lead with start smashing people's heads through tables i just i couldn't disagree with you more you know i just if i was in the rock situation i would have done the exact same thing just

your first move and your only move is to punch people yeah yeah right right away tough guy yeah you know you know who i want to be my sheriff? It's that guy. That's who I want. Although it's a great point that he could have just been like, hey man, can you give me my money back? Your guy's playing with loaded dice. He's a soldier, Brandon. They were breaking the law. He did not like

it. Had to stand up. And then they just triggered him because they started attacking him. He saw black. They fucked him because so then they really fucking tortured him afterwards yeah they cut him up real good yeah yeah yeah that was rough and then we get your favorite scene that the the court case where his lawyer that's not it no no no that's not what the court case is for the court case so that's when so he goes in oh that's my favorite though he has the two so that happens so that happens he flips out starts smashing people because of the loaded dice yeah the bouncers who were part of the football game are like who are friends with the the guy with neil mcdonough

they um you know five on oneue him, and then they take him into the back, and they torture him. They cut him up. They leave him for dead, essentially. Yeah, in the highway. On the highway, he survives. Nice little road to recovery montage with him and Johnny Knoxville laughing on the couch.

Becoming buddies. Well, I mean, they're already buddies. Becoming best buddies so then you have that and then that leads to some more shenanigans where they're trying to after they realize he didn't die and he's he's

surviving they try to they gave him hush money they're trying to fucking yeah you know subdue him or whatever he does not take kindly to that so that's when they go after the his nephew the kid and they owe they owe they slip meth into him or whatever he does not take kindly to that so that's when they go after the his nephew the kid and they oh they od they slip meth in into him or something or other well they sell his friends crystal meth they like give it to him yeah yeah and then yeah yeah and then he almost yeah yeah um and so then that that's when the rock does uh he grabs a two by four the famous

he grabs a two by four yes drives to the casino and destroys everything yes he beats up like six people with a two by four and then it's amazing destroys like like like 17 machines it's a great it's a great little scene it's a great action sequence and i think that's why i remember it so fondly because like standalone that scene for an action movie is just fucking awesome. Yeah, it's like when the dude like jumps down from above and the rock just like throws him through the table and say, oh man,

it just fucking the two by four just fucking people up with it and smashing everything up. It was just awesome. Yeah, the pusser stick, dude. The pusser stick. That's legitimately what they call it. Based on the true story. And in the true story,

he attacks people with a 2x4 and they dub it the pusser stick. It's a real bad mamma jamma. So the casino, Neal McDonough and the casino press charges on him because he walked in randomly and destroyed the casino and

almost killed six people. And so he goes to trial. And this is where I was like, throughout this whole trial scene, I was like. His lawyers paid off by the bad guy. Yes. He's telling him to take the plea deal, which is. So if he gets found guilty, it's 18 years in prison. Or he could take the plea deal, which was what?

It was like three months of community service and a fine or whatever and essentially it was like it was it was a bribe to be like just shut the fuck up and go away yeah and we'll we'll no harm no foul he doesn't take that no he wants everyone to know yeah but he wants everybody to know so he tells the story about how he got fucked up before which fine well and good yeah somebody should have went to jail for that too but you should also be found guilty in this specific trial because it wasn't about that it was about you destroying the fucking casino listen he should have been found guilty the hero of the movie does not get found guilty of shit the fact that he was found not guilty is just

another example of how corrupt this fucking town is and how corrupt the criminal justice system is anyways yeah so then but the reason they find him not guilty is because he promises that if you find me not guilty I'm going to run for sheriff

and I'm going to clean this up because the sheriff's also under the casino's payroll, we find out. So that's why the jury elects him not guilty. And then everybody votes for him to be the new sheriff. And that's like the catalyst for the second half of the movie. But he should have been found guilty. Because now you replaced one corrupt sheriff for another sheriff who's not necessarily corrupt but he uh egregiously abuses his sheriff power the rest of the movie it reminds me of like the sheriffs like during like the moonshine eras like the bootlegging eras when alcohol was a lot of those sheriffs got way

intoxicated with their power and like killed just as much as the gangsters did if not more yeah yeah so i mean the rock is no better than listen the rock is always he's he's a little better because he's a little bit better but it it's going from like, you know, it's like getting your grade bumped up from an F to a D minus. You know, we're making progress, but we're still not there. Guys like like how because then he immediately goes after their drug business and like Johnny Knoxville kind of helps them and they go on the attack. And that's my favorite part. When they start taking apart the dude's truck to look for the drugs to like basically torturing him, knowing that he loves that truck, knowing that the drugs are not in there to try to make him give up the place where they were making the drugs, which I spoiled earlier was the milk. Yeah, the milk. That's why they shut the mill down. Yeah.

And then. Yeah. earlier was the mill yeah the mill that's why they shut the mill down yeah and then yeah at the end when he when he's like walking through the mill some real breaking bad operations going on in there you know yeah it was like it was the real deal it was that was quite the end sequence i didn't know what to make that end sequence that weird fight between him and yeah that was i don't know he dodged a weird end he dodges that axe so many times i've never fought with an axe but i feel like it would be incredibly hard to like dodge an axe chop right well and like if you're fighting someone with an axe you want like a small blade because they're gonna have to do a two-handed big swing and that's where you want like to dodge with your small blade and then like come up really quick and like get them

underneath the ribs it's um you know what i mean like not to you know get really deep into your your sword fighting but yeah yeah give it give us some more of your you are trained in the axe arts is that am I correct there Keith? yeah that's as as part wizard part dwarf part wookie I have been known to wield a battle axe or two

in my time actually I for the longest time when I would go to the renaissance fest in Houston all the time, I wanted a battleaxe so bad. So if anyone tried to invade my house, like kicking through the door, losing your fucking leg. Like that's how I'm protecting my house with a battleaxe. Like, you know, you kick the door door in i cut off your fucking head i mean well as we see in this end scene it's not it's not a it doesn't seem like a very effective uh

weapon here he's one that's why you have to like when you're fighting with an axe you almost want something like on the on the tail end so if you take a big swing and you miss you know you got to swing back around a little bit or move your body along with it you just can't take huge massive swings you got to take short cuts you know short quick cuts and you got to be able to wield that bad boy as quickly as a sword so if you're not strong enough to to sling that bad boy around then you better fucking light nut maybe get a rapier instead right you know maybe a smaller sword a more nimble little hand guard on it for you okay so i don't know as as a as a battle axe wielding professional um i'd have to say that he just had poor form and if i was the rock you know he should have been

with that tree branch he was taking was taking big swings with big swings. You're spelling trouble. He should have been fucking jabbing him in the guts, trying to knock his wind out. Or with that branch, jab the end in there. After one of those big swings, you got to do some damage. That's got to get the body or take the legs out. Yeah. Always go for the knees, dude.

Yeah. Or just like punch him in the dick i don't know why people don't do that what's right yeah yeah just go crotch shot right done it's over yeah go for his box go for the nuggets i didn't mean to i didn't mean to get you going there but anyway so it just that final fight scene i'd say i i think the summary of this movie is like some cool action sequences but like i just remember it as being like really badass and really cool and the rock just fucking kicked ass and then i watched it for the first time in a long

time i was like oh it's it's all right it's solid it's it's nothing to write home about but it's a solid action flick it is what it is and it's it's that movie that when you're scrolling through cable and it's on tnt and you don't know what to put on you just put it on and you start doing your chores around the house and you got the rock walking tall onto the background. You know, that's, that's what it's for. Sounds about right. Yeah.

It's when you're traveling, you're in the hotel room, scrolling through the channels, like, ah, shit. All right. Nothing's on,

but walking tall is on. I'll put it on. That's fine. It's a good movie. It's good enough. Good enough. I think that's, that's a fair,

that's an apt description. It's good. It's good. It's no heavyweights and it's no son-in-law. Oh, gosh. You and fucking son-in-law, man. I love that movie so much. But, you know,

this one is good, too. This is another, like I said, you know, put it on. Well, if I said, you know, put it on. Well, if it's on, you'll put it on. Same thing with the rundown. This one and the rundown are basically the same movie in my head. Yeah. Yeah.

Like I said, I mean, that's a lot of The Rock's roles. They just kind of blend together after a while. Yeah. Except for the Fast and Furious movies. Hobbes. Hobbes is, is he yeah is he how yeah he's hobbs right yeah hobbs is uh a fantastic character can't go wrong with with with the rock and the fast and furious yeah yeah i'm just waiting for hobbs and shot to you that's what

i'm waiting for i was talking to the parental units this morning and big Mike was, I interrupted fast five. Oh, that's a great one. Yeah. That's so good. He let me hear about it. That's the debut.

That's rock's debut, right? I think so. Yeah. Yeah. It's too bad that him in him and Vin Diesel don't like each other. Yeah. I mean,

the rock is a lot of weird little beefs like that doesn't he i feel like he would be and i mean this in the nicest way possible duane not a good person to work with a little tricky tour yeah like he's you gotta you gotta you gotta step around the ego but a lot yeah like doesn't he isn't that what the for the fast the fast and furious wasn't it uh him vin diesel and statham i think all had uh it written into their contract that they can't lose a fight to the other people the other guys or something like that or they they have to take they have to be able they have to be they have to give as many punches as they take or some stupid shit like that just like just ego out the fucking you know it's just insane ego but it goes back to the wrestling right you got to protect your gimmick brandon

i guess you got to protect the game brother you got to protect the gimmick brother dude if i was in what if i was in those those movies i would have it i i would like go to production and be like if if that was going around to where like everybody was like i can't lose a fight i would go to the production of the writing team and be like i like put me in every scene i will lose every fight you know yeah just like yes give me as much screen time as possible i'll lose all the fights hold on is your is your are you saying that your favorite rock movie of all time is in fact um hobson shaw i'm gonna say no rundown might be the rundown might be the best rock movie i'm gonna i'm gonna say hodson shaw is mine all right now you know what i think mine is probably who i do like gi joe retaliation i enjoy him and in that, but I do. I think Central Intelligence and then Jumanji are my top two.

kitchen with like potato peeler and shit that was great right yeah that's why it gets a 3.08 see i'm not going to be that generous i enjoyed those See, I'm not going to be that generous. I enjoyed those scenes, but I'm not going to be as generous. I'm going to give it a 2.3. 2.3? Okay. That makes sense. Your scale is a little more critical than mine. Yeah.

That's just a direct reflection of our personalities. Fair. Fair. if you ever want to to sum the two of us up it's that i will go just a little bit nicer yeah i'll always just give give everyone a little bit more of the benefit of the doubt than they probably deserve i give nobody any any benefits yes people suck i i uh i doubt people all the time constantly uh yeah this literally came out like he and if you look at the rocks imdb it's run down and then the walking and then walking tall so it's like he put out two of the exact same movies in two years yeah yeah yeah but like you said this was at the beginning like he's still billed as the rock

he's still 2004 he's still full-time wwe i believe right yeah yeah so he's he's filming these in between all the wrestlings the scorpion king the mummy those have all come out i think that's about it though right yeah but then he gets into be cool, Doom, Gridiron Gang. Get Smart. That was awesome. Yeah. Scorpion King. Long Shot. I don't remember that one. I don't remember that one either.

What the fuck? Some TV appearances, but he plays a mugger in Long Shot. So it must have been a really small role. The Mummy Returns. The Scorpion Kingion i've never heard of this fucking movie yeah this is like to paint is in it though justin timberlake all all of nc is on this what the fuck interesting uh man the tooth fairy is a great one the other guys is super underrated movie in my opinion i this was this was at the beginning right yeah scorpion king was his fourth movie movie

what was his one of the other movies it was just the uh scorpion king in the mud that long shot okay okay yeah but yeah this is right before peak rock yeah and then look look at look at him today what a world now he has a sitcom about his life you know that's that's how you know you made it your life is so interesting. And Black Adam's coming out. Oh. I just dropped the trailer for that. That's going to be awesome. I am super fired up. I love DC.

The movies have not done the DC comic books justice. Don't even get me started on that, Brandon. The DC universe is fucking awesome. And the movies are all. The only good DC movie is shazam you know otherwise i don't even count like christopher nolan's batmans and the batmans before that because it's not like this dc universe you know what i mean it's not the modern one yeah the new batman looks pretty solid i'm excited about that yeah that one looks good i i hope they

can start coming around because i loved peacemaker you know it's it's it's not good but like it's so bad i fucking love it and it's gotten me hooked on a whole bunch of weird 80s hair bands like hanoi hanoi rocks you know god I've just been crushing some 11th Street kids, Brandon. There's two announced movies for The Rock that are a bit intriguing. Big Trouble

at Little China Shop. In Little China. The remake. Yeah. And then San Andreas 2 do you think San Andreas is not that good no it's not but I mean

it's a not a good movie but which begs the question why are we making a second one I don't know I'm a little intrigued about that do you think our girl from Son-in-Law was it carla gajina i think i don't know dude you know what looks dope is doc savage the man of bronze raised from

childhood by a team of scientists to become the original superhero of the 1930s the fuck is is it like a is it like a based on a comic book what the fuck is doc savage yeah it must be doc savage is that dc i don't know i've never heard of it but that's what the it's not yet announced there you go doc savage is a fictional character who first appeared in american pulp magazines during the 1930s and 40s, real name Clark Savage Jr. He's a doctor, scientist. Okay, you lost me.

Wait, hold on. Hold on. These characters that are like so good at everything. I don't know how they're compelling for anybody. The dude's a doctor, scientist, adventure detective, and polymath. What the fuck is a polymath? Hold on. Hold on.

Guess what outfit Savage is wearing polymath hold on hold on guess what outfit individual savage is wearing in this first number of subjects guess what outfit doc savage is wearing in this outfit and this is the rock it's no but it's like literally the rocks jungle outfit it's like a white torn shirt with khakis oh see perfect he's already we're already there he's built for this role he's made for this role oh man so yeah doc savage that'll be a good one those types of like fucking super i don't know that's why i'm not big into like comic books and super heroes and shit like that because you're a hater you can't be a hater it's because the people are good at everything what is the point of that?

It's fine. They're obviously going to win. Keep sipping on your haterade, Brandon. I like my heroes flawed, like Dominic Toretto. Okay? Batman. Alright, well, I have nothing more to say

about Walking Tall. I remember Journey to the Center of the Earth Those were solid Yeah those were good movies Wasn't Brendan Frazier In that one too Why do you say it like that Frazier

He's just Frazier You know where I got that from Dickie child child star bad uh david spade classic what is that what is the thing that the girl says in that movie she's like uh um some some waterfall dickie think he got it all but he don't but i do but boom with that attitude reese's piece is seven up you mess with me i mess you up nailed it dude nailed it nailed it yeah right you know i'm talking about dickie roberts yeah i know i know i know what you're talking
