Remember, it's not worth winning if you can't win! Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Oh, won't you please take me home Yeah, yeah Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Oh, won't you please take me home

Because did you notice how he sang it a little bit lower than the octave he didn't try to it went a little lower yeah take me down to the paradise city and then he was just cleaning up the honeys after that oh he was doing the fucking the the the mic work was fantastic you know absolutely did you we can just use that as the kickoff what up cake eaters i love how he uh he's sitting outside and the the dude says playing and he goes oh i know this song the dude i tutored in math used to make me listen to it which i figured i figured was the dude he tutored in math the guy that was playing it that's what i figured was that that was the guy i'm assuming i'm assuming that's that's what i like to assume

but did you recognize our good friend william we just talked about him in what about bob that's a kid yeah and from hook that's the kid from hook. And what about Bob? Did you really put that together? No, dude, you got to start watching. Did you see the x-ray feature on the Amazon prime video? I did that. That's what I used to like compile most of the soundtrack. Um, yeah, that feature is fucking awesome for watching this for the podcast. I fucking didn't even realize that's the kid from what about Bob?

It, it took, cause Kelly watched this with me, and so it was a lot of fun. Like, her and I watched it together, and I was like, oh, hey, pop up. And she would, like, as I was taking notes, she would do the x-ray feature for me and pause it. It was really good teamwork, actually. There's so many. There's so many motherfuckers in this movie, though. It's the best. It's the cast is my favorite.

Like, every time. Jason Segel. This is Jason Segel's fucking premiere. Do you know? Like, every time. And, like, even, like, the smallest of people. It's like, wait, they're in something. Oh, they're in this.

It's a who's who of anybody that was in anything in, like, the mid to late 2000s. They were in this movie. This was, like, their first little cameo they did was in this movie oh my god and having sabrina the teenage witch be the in clarissa memories memories are all we have man yeah oh my god it's i have so i have so many quotes written down uh so for for everybody listening this is the cake you just podcast uh i'm brandon that's heath we're doing can't hardly wait which is uh undoubtedly one of my favorite movies of all time yeah so get ready for uh un uh unbridled love and appreciation for this movie even though it's probably not that good you you probably don't like it but if you don't you're an idiot

oh my god i was just gonna say the same thing if you don't like this movie you're a fucking piece of shit moron and i hate you it is it is it is for sure i will say it is for sure a specific it's it's like it's like with any any kind of like high school like uh comedy dramas uh dramedies or whatever you want to call them it's very much a product of its time so if you did not grow up in the 90s or early 2000s or whatever uh yeah you're not you're probably not going to get it you know but um this movie i wrote in my notes this is everything you want in a high school dramedy and i know i'm completely biased because it hits every single nostalgia tick i could ever want so two pieces on that one thing before i forget because i want to

share this fun fact before we move on for our our boy from from hook i forget his character name in the story william william our boy from hook this was his first and last on-screen appearance as an actor because he was in MIT. Going to school at MIT. Wait. Not his first. It said this was Charlie Corsimo's first and last on-screen appearance since Hook. Because what about Bob was before Hook? Since Hook.

Okay. You left that part out oh i did sorry so you just said it was his first and last and that's like what he was since hook since hook since hook okay that makes more sense yeah um and then the second part just like you said because like you know you're you're more kelly's age and i'm like six years older than you guys and so like well you all kind of idolize this in a certain way I idolized it as a 12 year old boy 1998 this movie came out and like Jennifer Love Hewitt I was like number one I'm in love number two this is probably the peak of all things

comedy number three I can't wait until i'm in high school two years from now three years from now doing these exact same things right like i just thought it was gonna happen i was i was i was never uh i was never a real jennifer love hewitt guy no no way not not my type what about what about her in Sister Act? Do you know that she was in Sister Act 2? Yeah. I just never – she just never – not my type. She didn't do it for me. Yeah.

But, yeah, no, I remember – so I – we've established this before. My house was the Wild West, especially when it came to movies growing up. So I saw this movie when it came out in 1998 when I was seven years old. Nice. Nice. Nice. And I remember being the exact same thing where I was like, dude, this is exactly what high school is like. High school is going to fucking rock. Yeah.

That's it. Me and my buddies, right? We're all 12. We're renting this at Hollywood Video or Captain Video and just, dude. And then it was on like HBO or Showtime one of those two all the time yeah yeah I yeah I

it was always on and if it was on you know us as boys oh let's watch it because like the foreign exchange student I thought that was just the we all quoted that oh cheetah would you like to touch my penis the you know the exchange dude man oh speaking of which exchange student do you see what shirt

he's wearing he is wearing a a team usa d2 shirt okay It's the exact shirt that Team USA has on in D2. So you've shown me the picture and my only pushback on this, Brandon, is that are we sure that wasn't just like a 90s USA

shirt that was just everywhere, right? That's my only pushback okay could have been and it because it didn't have like didn't the team usa one have like weird sleeves too their jackets their jackets did but there's all they also just had the plain white shirt that said uh team usa like like like his exactly like his it could it could have been i tried looking into that but there's very little information of whether that was a custom logo for the movie or if that was like a stock team usa design yeah um either way though the fact that

he's wearing the exact same shirt as the motherfuckers in d2 is is pretty amazing yeah as as a as what as a connection that i didn't even fucking remember or plan on until he popped up and i was like I know that fucking shirt. It's, it's a fairly made up connection. But we were speaking. It's the exact same shirt. How's that made up?

I mean, yes, but like, do we know? That's more of a, that's more of a connection than some of the other, other fucking movies are dead. Like roller ball with fucking Bob Miller.

That was a reach, you know, that's true.'s true but wait hold on speaking of connection tell us uh why so the main reason that's not the that was a happy accident that connection yeah tell us the main connection we're doing this is because um our boy the coach uh we needed you know in d2 the coach the true team usa coach coach james yeah uh james tyler russ's older brother yeah played by uh vaselius shannon who is also in this movie he's in quite hardly wait you see him oh i have his i have his exact i have everything he says for us i have a

yeah i say i have a time stamp and I love that he is they say in the scene they say his name, they call him Carl he calls him Carl, but then if you look at the credits, you see what he's credited as in the credits? Ready whip kid because he's carrying a stack of

if you go to the if you go to the credits, it's ready whip kid, I just have to we did this out of order, so okay, here we go the the credits, it's Ready Whip Kid. I just have to – we did this out of order. So, okay, here we go. The reason – this is in my notes. The reason why we're watching the movie, James, like when I was watching it with Kelly, I was like, oh, Kelly, pause it. We got this fucking James. And Ready Whip Kid is how he was identified on the Amazon Prime X-ray. And he says,

oh, because Preston walks up to him and is like, oh, did you see Amanda? And he's like, just saw her in there. Did you hear Mike Dexter broke up with her? I'm thinking about asking her out, boy. It's time to get freaky. That was James. That was James' contribution

to the movie. I don't think you fully captured his time to get freaky though because he's shouted it from the mountaintops screams it yeah and then he runs away with fucking 20 cans of ready whip this is doing some whippets right i don't i don't know is that what they would imply i assume they're applying like whippets maybe they just want maybe like whipped cream bikinis oh yeah that's i assumed whipped cream bikinis okay i won't i was my i was thinking like you know uh varsity blues whipped cream bikinis not uh whippets that that could just be me though yeah and i feel like yeah anyways i i just i assumed it was just like all right i got all that we're gonna go do a whole bunch of whippets

here and then we're gonna get freaky maybe that's i mean it could have been it could have been both you could do whippets and whip cream bikinis i mean yeah that's the best of both worlds as hannah montana would say don't bring hannah into this brandon don't bring her into this um all right so god this movie rocks dude it was so good so i was just gonna say even the beginning of this movie was like the way they set up the overlay the overlay at the graduation is amazing did you see did you see what was taking place at the graduation though everything well everything but dude was playing his game boy there's the the the real good seeing that Game Boy busted back out dude I was were you Game Boy or get I was game gear actually

I had I had the game gear I had Sonic I had the wrestling game I had NBA Jam dude did Game Boy have NBA Jam no they did not Brandon no because you don need it. You got NBA Jam on Super Nintendo Go play a jam there go to an arcade like a normal fucking kid Well, do you think these two we did we did not get a lot of quarters for our kids We got to go we got to go watch the arcade people play arcade games Go walk around you would be the kid just fucking watching. Yeah, there's lurking It's creeping around waiting for mom dude i have every dude every time i come across um one of those because they they sell like the stand-up ones now you can get them at like

fucking walmart or like best buy or whatever yeah every time i see one of those every time i see one of those i'm so close to buying an mba gym yeah it's it's pretty good he's on fire probably some shaka laka they're only like 600 bucks it's not that bad i just don't have anywhere to put it is my problem but one of these days one of these days well they're not that big but i just i don't have any space at the moment um one of these days though i'm they're not that big, but I don't have any space at the moment. One of these days, though, I'm going to get it. But the voice overlay of all of them gossiping and telling everybody about the party. That was so well done.

Did you hear about Mike Dexter and Amanda? Yeah, and Amanda. Did you hear about Mike and Amanda? I like how they introduced everyone. I got everyone's yearbook quotes. I don't know if you did that, too, but I got everyone's yearbook quotes i don't know if you did that too but i got everyone's year i didn't write it down but i i they're all yeah they're all perfect although that that stuff is so cool yeah i loved how they introduced all of the characters um did you hear when they were doing the overlay where the guy's like i've had a library book checked out since third grade yeah is's that one and then there's the dude who's uh who is naked naked under the

you guys had a you guys had a naked kid right we had it we had we had at least one naked kid i think we had two actually naked kids we didn't get our actual diplomas on stage we got them the next day or the yeah yeah yeah two if i think they gave ours before um see but yeah what they gave you on stage wasn't your diploma no no no but like to prevent such things they gave us hours after the graduation so if you pulled something like that they just wouldn't give you your diploma well i mean you wouldn't the naked people never showed every anybody they were just naked under the... Wayne's too small for that kind of

shenanigans, you know what I mean? Like, it's just, like, there's... They weren't, yeah, they weren't showing anybody. They weren't taking off the fucking gown. They were just naked underneath the gown. They weren't even like, that kind of set, because like, they were like, literal requirements

on what you had to wear under your gown for our graduation were they going around checking that seems a little risque yeah they're lifting up my gown all right so anyway we definitely i know for sure we had one naked kid i think we might have had two though i was just rocking nothing underneath the gown no that's wild i did so um i got all the the quotes i did think it was a racket that they were charging five dollars for the tassels my god i wonder how that's how they get you too yeah oh i paid i think i paid like 40. yeah um i did like uh preston's quote so we get preston myers he's the dude who is obsessed with uh amanda who is jennifer love hewitt he is the kid from um empire records and ethan ethan is his name yeah and what's the other movie oh vegas vacation he's a chevy so that's what i know and um also recently in um fuck what's

it called frankie and i can't i i don't know but i need to re-watch can't heart or empire records i haven't watched that movie and so i was obsessed with that movie when I was younger. That's a great movie. So, so, so good. Grace and Frankie is what I was thinking of, which is a Netflix show. Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin. He plays Lily Tomlin's son, I believe. And guess what his name is, his first name? Haley.

Oh, nice. Okay. That's a fucking bomb-ass name, dude. It is a bomb, man. But that's one of those uh grace and frankie that's one of those uh old ladies up to shenanigan shows that i love is there is there a ducks connection to empire records um i don't know do a little vamp and i'll look it up because that would be awesome oh and empire records is streaming on hulu so your boy is about to watch that very soon because that movie was another one that was on like showtime all the time and so middle school heath with those like live live tyler scenes and empire records oh my gosh there was there's a lot of

growing up done at that moment in time but anyways some of the quotes that i wrote man some of the quotes that i really liked is preston's quote when he says it's uh thoreau i think says beware all enterprises that require new clothes i think i thought that was very good advice for the youths um denise denise fleming um who is the friend of preston who was best friends with seth green back in the day um and we'll get to that later but her quote and i thought this was a good one too i forget who it was it says a true friend stabs you in the foot that's uh oscar wilde oscar wilde yeah that's fantastic stuff that's um that's really that's really good stuff yeah everybody's call was pretty was pretty great uh did you think preston was kind of a fucking loser the whole time

though i wrote in my notes um this dude's nice guy delusions are insane oh my god right oh my gosh kelly and i talked about it's like kelly this guy's a loser right he does not come off very cool at all this is classic this is classic 90s um nice guy the nice guy oh yeah the nice guy fucking creepy whatever like i wrote in my notes when he's like when he's reading uh the letter to the foreign exchange student i wrote in my notes this is one of those classic things where like where the message is coming from is incredibly important like if your boy if this is coming from mike dexter who you've been dating for four years it's the sweetest thing in the world it's amazing but it's if it's coming from Mike Dexter, who you've been dating for four years, it's the sweetest thing in the fucking world. It's amazing.

But it's, if it's coming from the dude where you've had one conversation with throughout the entire high school, it's a little creepy, right? Yeah. Yeah. Cause like,

and this is the, the story that he, that he gave, he's like, it was her first time off. It was the first time I missed the bus and it was raining or whatever. You don't believe in fate? Yeah.

And I was the first person to set eyes on Amanda Beckett. And I love how they kept covering her face until she debuted at the party. I thought that was really funny. I mean, they both she sits next to him and then they both reach in their bag and pull out one strawberry pop tart and quick quick uh tangent brandon i don't know if you've had pop tarts lately i got some i do i'm a pop tart connoisseur what are your thoughts on the frost to crust ratio frosting to crust ratio that has taken place because i remember like like shrink flation bullshit going on right now we get like you can go ahead and cut this pop deer

pop tarts from someone who has eaten your product his whole life, I need you to get your goddamn shit together with the frosting to crust ratio because it used to be wonderful and perfectly done. And now you've just you've shrunk it into nothingness. And I hate you for it. And I will not eat Pop-Tarts anymore, Brandon. We need to speak up for the rights of the people when it comes to their crust to frosting ratio with pop-tarts it's it's pretty egregious it's rough thank you it's rough um i'm not out i'm not off base with that rant brandon that's a that's a real thing oh yeah no you're 100 right so taking a breakfast option away from me in the morning brandon i can't eat pop-tarts anymore i mean i still eat them um i've got a i got a pack of uh

cinnamon sugar it's a brain and it's about the principle see people like you going out and buying these terrible crust to frosting ratio pop-tarts and this is allowing them to perpetuate this insanity what am i going to do? Not eat. We can just, I don't know. I've just had been eating peanut butter toast. It's not as fun, but it just,

you know, it gets the job done. Oh, good. So there, there's one, there's two, actually there's two very,

very thin connections between the mighty ducks and empire record okay add them to the list don't care just add it to the list uh there's a a lady who worked on the casting department for both empire records and d3 and there's a dude who uh part of the editorial team all right that is pretty deep we can save those we can put those in our back pocket um i i mike dexter when he gets in introduced on his page and i love like this is the jocks that are his friends are a great example of how like everyone is in like fucking everything right so mike dexter just when baby al davis quote had to fucking Kelly pause it. And I was like, you didn't need to pause it. I know that Al Davis quote, everybody does. Right. But then,

Oh, also just wanted to shout out, you know, Mike Dexter, shout out your fellow prom King as well. You know, one, one prom King to another Mike, you know, pretty, pretty similar yearbook stats but anyways um jock number three when we're introduced to his friends is which one's number three he is the latino dude he is carla's brother from scrubs the the greatest greatest sitcom of all time like scrubs is my numero uno of all time he's got some I love that that guy he's got some great lines I love uh to skip ahead a little

bit when they're all at the the burger place and uh Mike is like talking about how shitty girlfriends are like don't yeah trying to break any Latino guys just in the background they suck they suck um jock number two is the black dude he's from save the last dance oh yeah that's right that's right okay yeah that uh oh what's her name oh why did i blank on her name the blonde girl joan hart sabrina no she's not in save the last dance she's not no it's um it's the 10 things i hate about you girl oh um oh what is her name julia something right julia styles there you go i thought she was great anyways so that's him and then jock number one what am i thinking jock number one this is a deeper pull but any reason to bring up the one and only paulie shore jock number one is one of their buddies from biodome that helps spread the word about the party when they have it in the biodome so his name is channing what a name

um also did you hear what when they're talking they're like you know who's in college right oh i love this like so much girls who used to be in high school do you hear what he says next though what dexter says next women on the pill and no curfew women on the pill baby so i had to write that down oh my god women God. Women on the pill. And then when he's peeling out of the parking lot and the jock number one's in the back of the truck, and he's all, Mike Dexter's a role model. Oh, my God. I fucking love those guys, dude. And then the fucking, like, way later in the movie when he goes back up to jock number three and he's like, hey, are you breaking up with her?

He's all, no, dude, her parents are away. Are they going to spend the night? They got the mirrors on the ceiling, dude. And you know as a middle school boy, we were we were after that we're like oh yeah you know like it'd be so that was such that was such a thing in the 90s and early 2000s was like mirrors like like being able to look in a mirror while you're having sex i've never understood that i've never once wanted to watch myself have sex doing it wrong brandon yeah i guess's that's self-confidence I'd rather

not you know um I'd rather not subject myself to towards just to that so so especially especially like up top beers like that's a terrible that's a terrible angle like your your neck would be a little like right like a little sore from like looking up well i mean i imagine you're not staring up the whole entire time you're just giving glances you know so heath you rad dude all right so it's like that uh what's the it's the the scene in um american psycho where he's like uh he's having sex and he turns and looks and he's like flexing while he's like looking himself in the mirror right that's american

psycho right i think so yes that's really good stuff um but after the jocks are introduced we get introduced to um our boy from hook william lichter and his introduction is fantastic as well it's so good because his so his yearbook quote of course is Einstein right and it's like all all mediocre minds are threatened when opposed by a smart one or something like that um but my favorite is his like activities is like fucking every everything yeah his activities are um well for it starts with like captain of the state physics bowl and then and then it just scrolls for forever but you know being captain the state physics did you see the i it's it's one of the last ones that it that it shows after the scroll and it's like um dead romance language club oh my god it was so good and then when he starts

to talk about like the stuff that mike did to him that he needed to get like he it he made a working rainforest and threw it out of his mike threw it out of a third story window he had to wear an you're missing the you're missing the best part which is the quote he says where he's like and mike threw it out of the third story window it rains here no more those nerds were so good and he has to wear an eye patch after getting beamed by a raisin so he has to wear an eye patch for a certain amount of time. He's like, unless we forget the pudding incident. It's just a picture of pants with pudding on them. Looks like he shat by himself.

And then he's like, all right, but tonight we fight back. And they put together this plan. This plan. Mike Dexter. This plan. So this plan. This movie. Is so plan this so this plan this this movie is so good does not does not age very well it's very much a product of the 90s and i wrote in my notes specifically when they're talking about what they're going to do to mike and i was like i wrote down i was like

it's mind-boggling how normalized just like casual forming casual sexual assault was in the 90s just like out normalized and accepted it was like that's a that's that's sexual assault is what they're planning on doing to mike oh yeah stripping him and his friends of their clothing and taking embarrassing picture polaroids but i remember when i like in the 90s watching this being like, yeah, fucking get him. Very normal. Very normal thing. Very normal thing. I love how they set up a setting for it, and they were using action figures, and these two buddies were fighting over who had to be Grand Bob. How come he gets to be Boba Fett?

And he's like, okay, whatever whatever you're both kiss dolls yeah that's it yeah it's so good it's so good and then did you hear too that they made chloroform they made a tub of homemade chloroform in chemistry that was that was so good um and then and then i love that it was i love that it was like bright green floorboards not bright but did you did you as they were like wrapping up that scene did you hear what the one like the two nerd friends said to each other he's like do you think there will be girls there and the other guy's like i think there will be people having sex tonight those two nerds are hilarious because then they're i love when they're uh he's like they're climbing up on top of the the pool house roof or whatever and mike's like sleeping and

they're like like fucking talking him up like god damn oh william william god damn william's so cool yeah like who do they compare him to they compare him to some They compare him to some character. The kid with the long hair goes, William, in this light, you resemble David Duchovny. Yeah, that's what it is. David Duchovny. I think he says a young David Duchovny.

A young... Oh my god. Okay, and so that was fantastic, but this is where it hits peak of all things because we get introduced to the one, the only Kenny Fisher G like the, I mean, it's just, I don't even know how to describe his, his quote is picture me rolling Tupac. Did you see his activities? was jv basketball one game i didn't notice that that's amazing like this is one of seth green's greatest roles ever i would have to say oh it's amazing when he's uh when he's talking about the ucla article and he's like 92 of women at uh ucla are sexually active 92 percent 92 of honey's active class or sex what shall i do and then he's all what's he's like uh

give all the ladies equal opportunity with special k i love that he calls himself special k and then uh does the love kit and well he's talking fragrant candle oh he's still uh he's still talking about the uh the ucla article and he's like he's like 92 that's 92 chances of me making a fool of myself and then him and the other buddy started like talking about like he goes the girls will be all upset because they'll be all like oh you don't know 20 different ways to make me call you big papa and then the dude does r.i.p r.i.p yeah and the love kit is fucking amazing it's got a little like feather dusters and then it's got uh it's got everything he's got like 600 condoms yeah like 16 different types of lube he's got a candle in there oh it's amazing

oh my god everything about it is is so good wait and then this is where we kind of get introduced for the first time to the kid in the back room background fucking stealing oh yeah the klepto kid is yes that is one of my favorite wrinkles of the entire movie i think is that kid just and he steals everything yeah he's still a cop car he was a cop car um oh my god there's i've got the some of the other notes of of when he's stealing stuff but he steals uh he steals a band t-shirt the band t-shirt uh yeah he steals uh he steals a bunch of like china from the uh yeah house from the house oh my god uh and so so we've been introduced to everyone basically more or less of like our key players and then this is where we get uh preston and uh what's her face denise pulling up to the

party we've got barry manalo's mandy playing because he's strategizing how am i gonna give this letter may or may not be about a dog yeah we don't we don't know but um and this is where i put i said this dude is way too much of a loser for amanda anyways this guy sucks oh yeah yeah he's there's such a fucking like yeah it's just he's such a weirdo yeah um and this is and then we get into did melissa joan hart and her character in this movie is she does such a fantastic job with this character because it's such a small character, right? Like she has the most minimal part, the smallest lines. But God damn it. If Clarissa doesn't explain it all with those yearbook quotes and stuff.

And I love she goes up to Denise. She's like, I saved a special place in the back for you. You't do a portrait and she's like yeah i was to avoid people like you yeah it's just it's just she's like i saved a spot in the back for you and then there's another when uh when she's trying to get amanda to sign it and amanda like starts flipping through to find preston's picture she's like no no no you have to sign by your name, sign by your photo. And then she just drops it on the ground. She's like, everyone keeps, this is memories, people. Oh my God.

It was, it was, it was just so good. And we see Kenny, when Kenny and his, and his friends come in, it's like, let's go boys. Time to get the honey. No, he doesn't say time to get the honeys what does he say i wrote it down he says time is honeys oh my god you're right i misread that let's go boys time is honeys yeah great line dude oh my god um in in i another scrubs reference i forgot that turk was in this yeah i totally forgot turk was the band is the band is my favorite part of the whole fucking thing i love the band

the band is called their names their names love burger first of all great fucking name amazing turk in the back uh playing drums with his fucking hat and then they get all upset about the guitarist wearing the shirt you can't wear a shirt of your own band and and the lead singer is dressed like austin powers like yeah he's dressed like elton john yeah and and but did you recognize that lead singer dude he was the main guy from road trip yeah yeah he's yeah he's great but i i love how uh just let's get a little bit for the band but they they get into this huge fight and then like 20 minutes later they're like oh guys tour do we do a reunion you know some of the old stuff uh or some new stuff maybe a

couple new songs mostly old stuff yeah this is great today they haven't even started playing tonight they've done anything it's they don't they don't ever actually play a song do they no no because right when they're ready to start their reunions when the cops come that's like the best ring like another really funny wrinkle to the movies this could not get their shit together with that um and so then we the the nerds getting set up is this is where that line he said but like when they're getting set up and in william's like all right i'm gonna go in there like hey man like they're gonna make you drink and he's like well i printed off this piece of thing that i can track how many how many beverages or they're like william you can get drunk he's like you can get addicted i know how many spirits i can have without infecting my behavior

that's what he's like you'd resemble david dukovny william trust no one and then this is where it goes to one of my favorite parts which is you pointed him out earlier with his usa shirt from d2 but that or an exchange student is like i am a sex machine would you like to touch my penis it was you know as middle school boys that was really peak comedy right yeah that, that was really peak comedy, right? Yeah. That was, that was real peak comedy. And when Mike Dexter stiff arms, Melissa Joan Hart.

Oh yeah, since you're halfway across the room. That was another really, really good, really good moment um when did you see uh oh did you see one of the um jocks girlfriends was uh what's their name jamie presley from joe dirt my name is earl like god it just every time you talk about someone even mike dexter mike dexter was uh like one of the bad guys from supergirl yeah everybody is in something yeah like the girl yeah jamie presley is one of them um holla jones is the other one um she's in like uh um she was in a bunch of like martin lawrence movies yeah um blue streak um yeah just a bunch of Martin Lawrence movies um and then um the third girl the the one of the being the Latino guy Jennifer Lyons she's in a bunch of too yeah she's in that 70s show uh for a while um yeah yeah everybody in this movie went on to be like a famous fucking um actor somewhere

even the the klepto kid is chris owen um who is in like um october sky he's in america he's sherman and american pie um he's in uh uh he's isn't he no yeah he's sherman and american pie i got him confused with someone else but anyways um did you like amanda when amanda comes in and they finally show it to jennifer love hewitt and her quote from your yearbook is jewel yeah great that is the most popular girl quote from 1998 ever right um and i don't know if you noticed but more prom royalty brandon so prom kings and queens unite that's all i'm saying junior and senior yeah that's it that's pretty we didn't have like we didn't have enough warm bodies for junior and senior like that's that's

big big school stuff we just had senior we it was a junior and senior prom, but the royalty would come from the senior class. Yeah. We had junior and senior. I also noticed that her friends aren't very nice to her. Like, when they're trying to... Did you pick up on that, too? Honestly, my next note is these girls are the worst friends. They're so mean.

Like, you are so Gwyneth only like totally pretty yeah they just give like the the worst and he's the worst like he's no brat the best is when she she walks away and they're all like there's no way she's as pretty as gwyneth not prettier than gwyneth but it's just classic like you know like popular girl yeah yeah yeah you're it's it's whatever is what you're in it for yourself you're not yeah just friends for appearances more than actual friends yeah and and then we get this is this is some fantastic kenny fisher because we get wait am i skipping this in the you're skipping a it's not a very important one but right after she leaves her friends and she's

like walking away she walks in the direction of preston he freezes and then runs into a wall oh my god yes and then she just walked she just walks by didn't even fucking notice he's like trying to like go into a door that's not there. So that was really good stuff, too. I laughed very hard on that. That was a good call out, Brandon. Way to pause. But then the scene after that, we get Kenny and we get the best part of Kenny, which is the goggles.

Oh, my God. Finally, time for Kenny Fisher to become become a man all 10 finalists present and accounted for i love how he has we're going to the theme park of love i love he has top 10 finalists that he pre-scouted he's got he's got 10 options he's got yeah and then he goes yo kareem baby what's up and she just like he's like nine nine lucky ladies that's one of my favorite parts he's like he's like 10 and then he goes nine nine lucky ladies um kitty man and when uh i also really loved when uh william goes to get the beer number one oh did you see how terrible the pores were on the oh yeah well i mean it's high school kids that's what kelly said but when

we were in high school we knew how to pour kegs like you did the side of the cup we never really never really did a ton of cakes like a little mini keg in the in the field like occasionally you would like you know like once or once or twice a year you'd do that but we like most of it was just like you know bringing cans and bottles 30 rack of stones yeah yeah or natty lights or whatever um or you get 40s 40s 40s were huge at my high school. Oh, nice. A little old English. Yeah, or a steel reserve. And then do the little Edward Forty hands. Those were big at my high school. But when William spits the beer out, he's like, the beer has gone bad.

So this is my only bone to pick about this movie, okay? And it's not really even a bone. It's just a funny thing that I noticed that makes no fucking sense okay so he they give him they give him the the cup he drinks the the thing and he spits it out and he's all the beer's gone bad guys nobody drink the beer and then it pans to like the crowd yeah and the person it pans to is an African-American gentleman who looks to be at minimum 45 years old. Let me show you. I tried to take a screenshot of it, but I didn't catch it. But the dude – I urge you, for everybody who's listening to this movie, when he spits the beer out and says the beer goes bad, pay attention to

who it pans to. It's like a 45-year-old black man that's just sitting in the crowd with all these high school kids. He legit has a mustache. He's got graying hair. I was like, why would you put this guy in the pan shot?

Not only is he in the shot he's like dead center it's so weird so weird but this is where we get to another one of my favorite moments because the foreign exchange student has another gem of a line because kenny is trying to chat with the next girl on the list right and he's like yo remember that one time we were playing spin the bottle and she was like oh yeah you were eating cheetos and um it was getting all caught in your braces and stuff and no one wanted to tell you and he kept on eating them and eating them um guys it's little kenny we used to call him Chester Cheeto you see

wait hold on the foreign exchange student looks at him and goes ha ha ha cheetah grrr oh my gosh that is one of my favorite lines in the whole movie ha ha cheetah grrr did you notice so Ashley is the girl one of my favorite lines in the whole movie with it. Ha ha, cheap that girl.

Did you notice Ashley is the girl he's talking to. He's trying to make on. Did you notice what she's wearing? She's wearing like a 40-year-old housewife's outfit. She's got like a sweater tied over the shoulder. She's wearing like pearls.

What are we doing here, Ashley? This is 90s you know 98 that was not a that that was that was like that was like the fashion for like housewives at the time yeah you're a fucking 18 year old what do you what do you wear what do you wear pearls for maybe it's just implying something brandon i don't know um get your head out of the gutter um I also the the the the the dude the dude that um all right so after the the Chester Cheeto thing we get William unable to read his drinking chart and and he just, like, hands it to the kid. I thought that was really funny.

He's like, here, take this. This is real. I thought that was so good. But then Preston tries to approach Amanda, and he tries to be smooth, and right out of the Heath playbook, he kicks over the candlestick on the table trying to be smooth um and then the dude that is the juxtaposition to uh melissa joan hart right like he's he's not the yearbook but he's like the memories guy he's credited as credited as reminiscing guy reminiscing guy okay and he sits next to preston do you remember this the story that he tells him brandon he goes remember that time we went to the meatpacking plant you threw up in your book bag

you tried to leave it behind on the bus the principal and everyone's walking around and from classroom to classroom trying to figure it out who it is and i was like hey preston is that your bag he's like no no no he's like are you sure i think it is it's such a good fucking story and then he's like then they like he's like they're like they're like walking away and he's still fucking telling him and then uh preston goes hey hey remember that one time where i was trying to talk to the pretty girl and you kept telling me these asinine fucking stories yeah this is so he gets all mad at him and then he's walking away and he's all what what's he do you have the exact quote oh i've got it see if i contact you for the reunion it's all about the memories man that's oh i love that so much it's

all about the memories man he's got a line coming up that was uh also in the regular regular uh speech pattern for myself when he's talking to amanda yeah that's a that's a that might be that might be our t-shirt for for this episode it's all about the memories man the memories oh and this is the um after that is where he was trying to um uh where where uh mike goes up to the jocks and he's like hey i thought we were breaking up and and he's like oh the mirrors the mirrors um oh and how mean was it when denise was sitting on the couch and that girl like went up to her and started asking her questions she's like i told you she went to our school we we missed we missed uh we missed one thing though um during kenny's mac session um i think i think it's after he's talking to ashley um but he goes up to these

two girls and he said he's talking to one of them and he's like hey you want to dance and she goes i'm allergic um so you're you're allergic to dancing yep oh my god and this is um that's we've already talked about it but that's when um the they the band gets in the big fight because turk wants the hat the club does start stealing the t-shirts and stuff um and but i wanted to say because we haven't had a chance to talk about it yet the poor girl that is hosting the party because this is where she smells dog poop and starts sniffing everyone's shoes this poor girl getting tortured by these people

is absolutely I have zero sympathy for her she should have known if you're gonna throw a party like this you gotta be prepared you can't she was she was she she thought she was throwing a different party and you know that's that's on her for being that for being naive you gotta you gotta you gotta that's why that's why

i never i never host parties i'm not i'm not a host because i can't i can't uh i can't handle the stress i can't deal with it you know she she clearly can't handle the stress she was not built for hosted parties no no this is not a good this is not she has the she had the house she had the right house for it but not the right demeanor no um but so after she's crawling to you by the way after she's crawling to do the poop shoes we get back to kenny sitting on the couch and he overhears the girl crying behind her who's gonna her boyfriend hooked up with the sophomore so she's gonna hook up with the next person that she sees and kenny tips the next

person that talks to her yeah he tips his chair back and he's like oh no baby please you are far too fine to be looking so sad you like uh what he does he does the uh like tell special kate what he can do to make you feel better what's the uh what's the pickup line he does before that though where it's like something it's like the did you fall from heaven because you're an angel yeah yeah i've heard exactly what it is but yeah he calls her an angel yeah i must have fallen from heaven you must have fallen from heaven because there's an angel who touched down next to me that's something like that oh my god and like my favorite he goes he goes i must have died and gone to heaven yeah that's what it is that's what it is but my favorite is like so

she's like he's like how can you make you feel better she's like come to the pool house and he's like oh i gotta go to the bathroom first to freshen up i'll meet you there and then he says fucking scene and then he says do i put the jimmy hat on now yeah did you hear that oh my god i could fair question fair question brandon don't confuse the listeners like that this is it he's not he's never had sex before though he's a virgin he's just not he's he doesn't know how it's all working yeah that's a fair question do you put it on yeah when do you put it on i guess this is it's it's i put i put one on every morning just in case oh my god you're a fucking idiot safety first what do i what do i always say he stay ready you don't gotta get ready all right that's that was his problem in this situation is he he needed to get he needed to get ready and he blew it if he would have been ready

it's him doing the kama sutra moves in the bathroom and how he spills the water? Do you have his quotes in the bathroom? Because there's two amazing ones. Wait, wait. I have maybe one of them. Go ahead. Which one do you say all the time? He goes, she's going to think

I prematurely evacuated. No, he That's close. think I'm prematurely evacuated. No, he – that's close. That's not the exact quote though. But he goes, oh, damn, I think I got that premature evacuation. That's it. And then there's another – it's like a couple lines later, but he goes – he's opening the bag and he looks up and he goes, oh, maybe I should double bag it. Don't know where that girl's been. Forgot about that, yes. Better double bag it.

Just the absolute, because it was pre-internet really or the dawn of the internet so you still couldn't look up instructional scenes to see how it all worked. I remember vividly in like probably like what ninth grade health class i remember vividly that being a talking point from the teacher being like don't put two on don't they will they will cause each other to break only use one that was like a that was like a

main point the teacher made was just use one yes it will backfire horribly double i think double bagging it was a very common mistake that people used to make oh my god and but uh but what happens is kenny is using the dry attempting to use the dryer to dry his crotch uh denise walks in on him and shuts the door that was not supposed to be shut and they get locked in yep well they not only do they get locked in then they break the handle yeah yeah would you double would you stay together with your girlfriend that you were supposed to break up with until aug for Pearl Jam tickets too, Brandon? Did you get that pick up on that part?

I did. I'm trying to think. I don't know. That's a long time. This is like end of May, right? Probably. Yeah. Long time.

Yeah. How good are the seats? said they made it seem like they're pretty good seats backstage passes no did they say that i don't think that's the finishes no i yeah that's i probably wouldn't that's a long fucking time that's like what three and a half months two and a half months yeah did um what did you think about the like and it's the summer before college yeah i i if if i was planning on breaking up with her and she was like oh i got pearl jam tickets that wouldn't it wouldn't make me stay yeah i so yeah i agree i'm okay on pearl jam the only reason i really listen to pearl jam is because it's the intro for the Bill Simmons podcast. It's about as much as my listening goes to. But then after they talk about the jocks getting back with their girlfriends for Pearl Jam tickets, they start to set the tone of Amanda talking to her second cousin.

Oh, dude. cousin oh dude that was too much that was a very 90s thing that had to um had to get like just like why why why was the second cousin thing in there well second cousin by marriage yeah no blood but but this is as they keep panning around to the party after they are, she's, they start to set the tone. This is where Preston is doing his lame guide monologue. And who is he talking to Brandon, our boy? And how does he get responded to? Would you like to touch my penis?

I am a sex machine. So I always, I was always wondering about this. So he's the German foreign exchange student how did he not know any english to be at graduation through the whole time right like yeah how has he not how has he not picked up on anything before i'm saying and did in we had a german exchange student she was much more fluent in english than some people i knew oh yeah you know like i this was a little bit of a...

The teaching the foreign exchange student dirty phrases, that's a time-old tradition, though. Yeah, that's the tale as well. Hilarious, hilarious. But it goes both ways, too, right? Yes, and it's not... Like, you teach them dirty English phrases,

they teach you dirty Spanish and German phrases. And it's not the only thing they know how to say. Yeah. Yeah. So, anyways, we'll just let them have that though um and then and then um when we get back to kenny and denise and like how he's like talking to her at first before they kind of start like talking like they're gonna hook up where um she's like well what were you doing anyways he's like i'm getting my shit ready super mad honey he's just dying to have sex with me and then it cuts to the the girl and she's making out with her her ex-boyfriend again yeah

yeah it's so good and then um and then after that is where we get, we talked about it, but this is where we get James. James pops up because Preston is looking for Amanda because she's over in the other room talking with her cousin. And that's where he gets, it's time to get freaky. Second cousin though. Second cousin. Yeah, second cousin though he's second cousin yeah second cousin and then this is where preston is looking for and we get our sexual assault of the second cousin like he just pushes up on her and starts trying to make out with amanda that's a real bad look you know just and then i don't

care much for that when it's your second cousin there's no real good look. Yeah, and she's like, you're my cousin. And he's like, through marriage? What the fuck? She's like, you're sick. And he's like, oh my god, don't tell my parents. You're not going to tell my parents, are you? That's great. Oh my god. Oh my god.

But Preston walks in and sees her looking like she's kissing. Because he doesn't just attempt to kiss her and then get pushed away he like forces i'm pretty sure he like sticks his tongue down her throat before she's able to get him off of him that's why i said he forced herself upon her yeah he forced himself on her one billion percent um but yeah it is cousins man can't trust him and then so president with that scene preston throws the letter away but i yeah he throws his little hissy fit my my favorite is like when william is on the couch he's like he's like man the salt on a pretzel like the like and how he does like the maybe like stars are billions and tons of gas but maybe it's just god's salt and god's just waiting to eat us

oh my god him super drunk uh doing that is hilarious and then i forget exactly when it is i'm just gonna jump ahead though. Yeah. With, with the, the Jason Siegel, seeing the watermelon guy and then he's his buddy and they're all super high. And Amanda, isn't Amanda.

That's trying to talk to him. Right. Yeah. Like where's Preston? Where's Preston? Yeah. But I love that. My favorite quote,

the entire fucking movie is that the super high guy, the stoner guy, as Amanda's like leaving. And he's like amanda's like leaving and he's like uh he's in there he's like you know what because they were like trying to talk pressing up they were like oh he's super cool he's all you know who else doesn't get a lot of credit it's velma yes she's a hip hip lady yeah and then jason's like that i uh so good you know you know who like didn't get much

play velma i use uh she's a hip hip lady all the time she's a hip hip lady um oh my god that's so good and then uh and then this is mike dexter sits down um Oh my god, that's so good. And then this is Mike Dexter

sits down. Do you know who, when the nerds were doing the lightsaber scene and he's like, isn't your girlfriend supposed to come this weekend? And he said it was like Chrissy Turlington. Isn't that a famous model?

Yeah, so he goes, he says she's got a shoe out of town or something and then he's like yep that's the price of dating a model yeah that's so good it's so good we did skip over uh right before uh the stoner scene the velma stoner scene uh because there's a lot right before the stoner scene okay so go back because amanda finds the letter after preston runs away right well before that we get um the letter gets like moved throughout the house and then we get kenny and denise like really breaking down like what happened how they used to have slumber parties together we get all that stuff and then we get um preston being in a in the his car just

sitting there like a loser and like they're playing mandy at the top of the hour every hour we get that set up um and then we get amanda finding her letter in the checks mix and um she looks super intrigued and reads it and then because Preston is listening to this song you can call in to try and get a hold of Barry Manilow because he wants to ask Barry once and for all is Mandy about a dog or not and then this

is where the angel stripper who is from Dharma and Greg she's Dharma from Dharma and Greg she's also Justin Timberlake's sister from just friends dharma from dharma and greg but i did love how she just fucking like walks in hangs up on him tells him he's a loser for trying to call barry manlo she's the she's the she's the best

and like you you were saying you were uh jenna elfman that's right yeah jenna elfman yeah she's like a um she's uh she's not a strip she's a dancer okay dancer same difference but how you were you were saying you were uh this is gonna say a lot about probably me and you's personality again uh you were saying you're a big jennifer love you were a fan yeah when i first saw this movie i was in love with jenna elfman you would go for the stripper you would go for the older stripper instead of the person she was just so hot about so hot and so mean it was right up my alley oh my god it's um but no i i remember being um but watching the her watching her being hypnotized during these angel scenes.

And then when she tells the Scott Baio story, it's amazing. And then she thinks that Preston's in love with Barry Manilow. Not judging. I mean, Scott Baio, we all got our things. That whole scene with her and him and preston was just absolutely amazing all the way around and like even like amanda's interactions with all the people like the the the earth girl that's what i was gonna bring up this earth girl why would you pay attention to unique spirits conformist flock of sheep you're just leading them around the best part the best

part is while she's giving that amazing monologue she's she's snipping the six-pack plastic amazing it's so good dude oh and i forgot to say when the nerds are doing their lightsaber battle like they did the actual scene and then like he shoves him because like luke didn't push dart he's like he should have he cut off his hand yeah those were our only flashlight yeah they get scared of the dark oh my god oh my wait and also um charles uh when she references charles in charge dude that theme song charles in charge of our days and our nights charles in charge dude come on that's a banger and speaking of scrubs that's one of my favorites too when ted and um his acapella group do are on tv themes and they're dude they crush charles in charge oh my god it's just dude scott baio he was on fire joni loves chachi she said she had the red

bandana for chachi oh my god it's so funny oh it's just i don't even know what to do with with any of this because it's so fantastic it's so good and it's it's all it's all like it's so good at like doing like the little things that like tie it all together because you're getting for like 90 of these people you are getting a very incredibly brief snapshot of their character. And the way they're able to build them out with just very little things. Like Earth Girl, when she's snipping the fucking six-pack stuff. It just adds another layer to her character. It's such a small decision that makes it even bigger um it's yeah because outside of like preston and denise and amanda

everybody else you're getting like brief little snippets you know and but they're able to build these characters and they're and you're like you're every character is like well like it has its own it's well done and it's relatable you're like oh yeah i i knew that kid i knew that kid like that all these kids were in every high school it was it was so incredibly good um and then and then after she is like mocking him about like being in love with barry manilow when it cuts back to the party this is where the dude like the the band falls apart and so the dude walks up and hits play on his boom box and he starts playing um uh paradise city yeah and then like william does that like that when he falls and then he does like that like jump up with like the mic when he grabs it epic that was epic when his mic mic work was on

oh my god and a true entertainer he really was i also love when denise and kenny are like starting to build up right and she's like you wrote uh denise fleming is a tampon on my locker middle school oh my god and he's all he's all no i had i had somebody else right there yeah different someone else died someone else did and then she's like yeah well i told everyone that you were a dendro dendrophiliac someone who has sex with trees could you that's a that's a sweet middle school rumor yeah oh god this fucking movie is amazing it was and then um we can't forget about uh the one and only jerry mcconnell or jerry o'connell sorry i was close ballpark but jerry o'connell trip mcneely yeah who is oh wait wait we uh i think it's i think it's right now i think it's i think it's

during the scene when they're Kenny are getting closer or whatever. She starts talking about his outfit, right? And she's all, what do you need to fit a family of five in your pants? And then she eventually works her way up to the goggles. What the fuck is up with these goggles? And Kenny's response is, what are you talking about? Everybody's wearing these dude he's not wrong he's not he was he was definitely wrong if somebody who tried to

who tried to make goggles work uh i was the only one wearing yeah no no but nobody ever backed me up on the goggles it was all uh one man fight out there i i would love to see pictures of middle school brandon rocking some goggles like that like dude i had a i don't think there's any pictures of it but i did have uh i did have goggles that i tried i tried to make them happen um didn't click though i was ahead of my time wait we gotta the jerry o'connell thing though like this is really good stuff some of these lines here he's like i can't even get digits as a freshman the scene right before is great too when when he's talking to the two juniors uh about mike dexter oh yeah yeah he's all uh um he's all talking about somebody else he's like somebody else told me you guys uh thought i was the hottest senior and then they're all like yeah and he also

told us you thought we were skank skanks yeah and did you notice that who that girl was the one with the brunette it was the girl from cruel intentions cruel intentions which is another movie we're gonna do yeah joshua jackson's from that yeah oh my god i love that movie and she's all she's also legally blonde yeah yeah exactly we gotta see if we can do that movie i fucking love legally blonde but but like he's saying he's like i thought it would be a 24 7 orgy wish i wouldn't have dumped my babe but my favorite is like he's talking about his girlfriend and he's like he's like yeah no she's got a new guy dude is pre-med they all are i thought that was so good they love how he's uh they're all pre-bed i love how he's uh he's

getting up to leave and he's uh oh make sure you wear uh wear shoes in the showers athlete's foot oh my god that really stuck with me because i remember the first thing i bought when i went to college was a pair of rubber flip-flops that scene really stuck with me but this is um this is also so mike is like holy shit i gotta try and uh get back together and he ends up looking like a real loser when he's wasted and trying to get back together with her he really botches it yep and so they she gets dumped for sure and then this is where the stoner guy goes up to her and he goes he tries to talk to her he goes oh my god you're a hottie can i see you naked well because we she does they get the whole because they do the the the scene in front of everybody yeah so everyone's everybody officially on the

market yeah she's officially single and so then every every fucking creep comes crawling out of the woodwork well and and our member our reminiscing guy this is where we get his favorite he says hey amanda remember that one time uh i asked you to dance with me at the sock hop i never told you but i had the hugest boner thought we could work things out i love that i thought we could work it out it's such a great ending to that quote i thought we could work it out that was so good i thought maybe we could work things out stop it oh my god that was so good um jason siegel offers her some watermelon um and then preston declares his love and she um she she yells at him yeah she doesn't realize it's preston yeah yeah but that's that's where but granted granted a even if even i mean even if she knew it was preston that was that was

embarrassing that was uh that was that was a rough look i would have i would have rejected him too yeah he looked like a real fucking loser there but um yeah it was it was a it was bad timing it was it was bad everything um but before denise and kenny finally hook up do you did you hear what they were singing when i went back to the bathroom no they were singing uh new kids on the block brandon oh are they okay all right let's just just the soundtrack for this is fantastic unbelievable um i wrote down so many uh so many other songs yeah yeah it opens with eve six i think there's a lot of there's some smash mouse in there too good amount of smash mouth all right beam there's but i'm fairly certain before you hit the 10 minute mark in this movie they've played at least three six songs how could you not like that

it was so good we're actually getting close to the end too starting to wrap it up because this is where after Kenny and Denise hook up that's where Amanda's going to sign the yearbook and Melissa

these are memories frozen in time people but she's able to scout she scours through the yearbook to find preston's name realizes that it's the dude she just fucking screamed at yeah and uh that's when when this is when mike and william become. And do you hear what William says to Mike? Yes. You know what they say about women in trolley cars? There's plenty of fish in the sea. So fucking good, dude.

My God. That was that. I don't know where that came from or who wrote that or made that up. But that was amazing. It's crossing two different phrases. You you know the trolley car one right I don't know there's another one in five minutes so there's another one oh that's right that's right that's right he starts off doing that one and then he does fish in the sea oh my God plenty in the sea that's and when he's like hey man I i really want to apologize for tripping you when you

were going up to make that speech man i'm so sorry he's like that was this morning well he goes he tells the whole story he's like remember that one time he tells the story and he goes when uh when was that that was that was this morning that was at graduation that was um and then and then this is the the band gets back together and they're like yeah mostly a few new songs mostly old stuff um but then right when they're getting ready to play the cops come rushing in and uh the nerds accidentally mob and chloroform william and mike and leave them knocked out but before they can help william the cops are there so they have to run they leave him abandoned this the cop chasing is

fucking fantastic yeah that was really good did you ever have have to to run from the cops for a party that ever happened only a couple i mean it happened a lot, but I could usually like, you could, you could sense which parties, like if I walked into a party, like, I'd be like, Oh, okay. And I would just dip. Like I had no issues with an Irish goodbye. Like I just walk home. It's not that far. So I, I never had, I only had to run once in college, I think. Okay. It's a quick ski daddle and a few times thinking quick in the car too but you know yes i only ever had to run um once yeah pop some fences get away um yeah

thankfully i didn't have to it wasn't it too often because yeah you could you could sense you could sense the parties that were going to get out of hand and and have the the cops called or what which neighborhoods were like you know prone to it you're like okay i'm not going there yeah exactly yeah back to the movie real quick so the we get the klepto stealing the cop car and the cops are loading Michael and William into the wagon. And that's pretty much it for the party night, because then it's like we're getting to the beginning of the end. Everybody scatters. Yep.

And we get to the beginning of the end. I've always wanted to do that. Cops show up. Scatter! Everybody scatter! No, you got to do it like a 1920s mob guy up Scatter! You gotta do it like a 1920s mob guy Scatter!

Anyways I didn't when the girl finally gets into the bathroom and like screams at that for being stuck, get out Poor girl Right before that before she busts in they have a whole um like really awkward after after sex conversation where they

basically get in a fight and break up yeah because well it's fucking denise yeah uh like right literally right after they have sex she's like um you know you know it's okay it's it's you know maybe maybe you'll get better as you do as you do maybe next time it'll last longer that's right which is like i mean timing denise time and place to bring this up maybe maybe not right after i mean but i feel like he kind of called her out on it that she like actually wasn't very nice like she pretended to be nice but she actually kind of wasn't in the end right oh no she was that was like that was the absolute worst time to bring that up yeah let's say yeah you can't you know you gotta read the room here denise wait wait till the next morning and then maybe bring that up you know yeah it's it's you

don't have to be a psycho about it you know anyways yeah but but but so so he gets all he gets all butthurt that she uh she's saying he didn't last very long um and then he starts hurling insults at her what is she what is what is her feelings what does he say he says uh i'm sorry baby you just don't got the what is the funk or what does he say oh my god i can't the flavor she doesn't have the flavor sorry you don't have all that uh like he's he stole all our flavor or something like that yeah well no he says he says well maybe uh he says well how do you know it's my fault maybe if i was you know dancing with another partner i'd be better at it and she gets on that and he goes i'm sorry girl you just don't got the flavor oh my god it's it's just really good stuff um and then uh so then i thought it was also fun that

everyone kind of goes back to the diner the next day right like they're kind of like they're all at the diner and they're all wearing the same clothes yeah they're all wearing the same clothes um and uh everyone's like i love that uh when she tells him about kenny and kenny's taking a drink out of his like cappuccino and he has this stuff all over his face and waves like a dork that was really good uh the the yearbook late uh when yearbook girl and uh reminiscing guy get together at the diner i always thought that that was really nice what william comes in tries to make buddies with mike and mike is basically like get the hell out of here and people appearances man at the diner i always thought that that was really nice when william comes in tries to make buddies with mike and mike is basically like get the hell out of here and people appearances man well because

mike does we didn't touch on that but mike takes the fall with the cops that's right he takes when when he wakes up when william wakes up in the police station mike takes a fall there yeah i was looking out for his bud. Yep. Yep. And then we get some recaps. William went on to Harvard, became one of their most popular students, has a company valued worth $40 million, is dating a supermodel. So everything worked out for him, whereas Mike drank too much, lost his football scholarship, 40 pounds overweight,

fired from his first job at the car wash after incriminating polaroid surfaced so that's too bad um denise and kenny basically only stay together as long as they have a bathroom to hook up in um the klepto dude steals the gumball machine which is fantastic all the way through and then we get preston and amanda and preston dropping his bags and just leaving them behind that was just i hated that whole scene but they did the whole stereotypical rom-com in the 90s through the train scene like they made fun of this shit for forever um and then it just it ends with the nerds getting sucked up into space by a ufo on their walk home from the party which i thought was just the best i do love uh because because

it's the day it's the day after graduation yeah but preston is leaving to go what school is he going to i feel where he's going i can't remember but the reason he's leaving then because he's going to do a uh a workshop with kurt vonnegut uh which i thought was fucking amazing um that he was he's like oh yeah i'm going up there to a writing workshop with kurt vonnegut uh just so fucking perfect and i'm not perfect and pretentious and i love it so much uh i'm a bit i'm a big kermon to get that guy though i love kermon to get he's one of my faves yeah it's good stuff but yeah but then that's cradle dude cat's cradle is a great book slaughterhouse five uh yeah brandon that's that's pretty much it this this movie was good oh and when we learned that

uh preston and amanda they he caught a train seven hours later she sent him letters every day and they are still together which is the only unrealistic piece about the movie i think i was gonna say i i like when i first watched this i thought that was great like oh you know all that but now like looking back at it like i think it would have been uh more apropos if uh if they wouldn't have if they would have just you know ended it with him leaving and yeah he doesn't he doesn't need to win the girl definitely doesn't deserve amanda that's for sure oh my god that guy i've never seen anyone deserve someone less than that yeah he's uh he's the he's the classic fucking whiny nice guy yeah it's like well if you'd quit being such a whiny

little bitch maybe you could have gotten her before now yeah yeah how do you like four fucking years and he didn't even talk to her yeah you don't say one other word creepy and losery about in the back i didn't like she didn't even know what you looked like yeah yeah like and you thought that you were gonna be soulmates like what a psycho yeah that was that was like that's what that's what like when people are like 90s 90s because like there's like layers right to the like there's some nice guys that get treated like shit and like that's too bad but then there's like layers right to the like there's some nice guys that get treated like shit and like that's too bad but then there's nice guys that think they're nice guys but they're not actually nice they're just weird and they expect this girl that they've been infatuated

with unbeknownst to her to kowtow to them it just anyways there's just there's weird nice and then there's kind of then there's nice nice and then there's kind of then there's nice nice and then there's kind of like the creepy nice like where it's like you didn't no one owes you anything for being nice dude yeah nobody owes you anything and it's always i don't know i whenever somebody like it's people who think they're the nice guys or the good guys very rarely are yeah like if you have the the the ego or the self fucking, what am I trying to say? The,

you know, if you have the ego to think that you're the, you're the nice guy, you're the good guy, you should be the fucking main character. Yeah. Chances are you're, you're a piece of shit.

I hate main character energy. Anyone that leverages that is a piece of it's like well actually anybody who's just a piece of and yeah anyways anybody who thinks highly of themselves i question immediately yeah now any kind of any kind of self-confidence and i'm like something's going on here some some somebody right yeah i brandon i i love this movie though like this is oh this movie this is the first time it's the first time i've watched it in at least 10 years like it's been at least 10 years since my last watch yeah for sure so this was amazing to watch back like i fucking loved it so i watched this a ton when i was growing up and then it was probably like five years ago

five or six years ago it was on netflix for a hot for a hot minute yeah um and i watched the shit out of it then and then they took it off and i haven't watched it since um but i fucking love this movie yeah it's fantastic um let's put it back on netflix you bastards all right i canceled netflix netflix can go fuck themselves too expensive i'm not paying 20 bucks a month for your stupid fucking shit okay cakey rating heath um you spent this entire time gushing about how much you love this goddamn movie yeah don't let me down with this cakey rating. I mean, it's definitely in the fours easy. If this doesn't beat Newsies, I fucking riot. I would say I love this movie.

It's going to be hard to beat Newsies. Yeah, because it's like I would say this movie is 4.89 oh it did be newsies fuck it because it's it's so good it's it's so good it's so i i love it like i when i had to decide between renting it or buying it i just paid the extra four dollars to buy it i thought that oh did you buy i thought about buying it too um but i like i i don't have any i don't have any digital like movies on amazon all the ones that i own are on voodoo you could you couldn't buy it on voodoo so and that i because i have you know i do all my amazon prime shipments and i always select to give the digital credits and then i just store them up for moments like this and so i got it for half price anyway so it was basically the same as

renting it and i was like oh i gotta do it but yeah for this this i like honestly i watched this movie a thousand times as a kid because it was on like either showtime or hbo and i was 12 years old 13 years old and it was on all the time and i watched it all the time and i remember everything about it and these characters all went on to do great things it's super quotable maybe not as much today but anyways yeah this is good it's a great movie great watch everyone should go back and watch it again if you haven't watched it in a while 4.89 that's uh i mean it beat newsies so i'm happy yeah happy because this was 4.87 so i almost did 4.85 i almost did 4.8 i would have i would have rioted okay well what's yours then i'm gonna give this a 4.25 okay nice just a lot less than yours but on the brandon scale that's pretty high that's a that's a doozy yeah

yeah that's that's way up there but this i think there's only everything about this movie is good and we we talked about literally every moment but there's it was worth it because every moment go go watch this movie it's if you haven't seen it it's fucking amazing and i feel like especially especially if you're in like our age demographic you grew up in the 90s or early 2000s go watch this fucking movie because you know what i was gonna say to you brandon because i felt like it was like nowadays these party movies and stuff like this it goes too extreme it's too much it's like an la home right with like a dj and like, and it's like not relatable,

but like this movie and like this high school party experience, like every person across the US, no matter what size your school was, you could relate to this type of party because it didn't get carried super far away. It did exactly what like a high school party would do. It hit that point of extreme

and then the cops came and before it got way too out of control Thanks for listening, everyone. Please remember to follow and like us on Instagram at TheCakeEatersPod, on Twitter at thecakeeaters.
