Oh man, this text, maybe one of the funniest texts I've ever gotten. I laughed all day. I kept thinking about it. Bro, word for word, it was the funniest fucking texts. Bro, to get out of nowhere was incredible. I said it to Brennan to it. I said, I got my testosterone checked and I might as well have a pussi. With an exclamation point.

We're friends that laugh. We're friends that show. Sometimes we don't know what we're talking about But that won't stop us Nothing can stop us So All right, let's get started We're getting started

I do coffee I get the this is probably the best Coldb Which one is it? This is probably Well so far it's the best bottle of cold brew I've had In the store bought Stump Town But it has to be this

It can't be the other I really are you Do you have like Do you notice differences between cans and bottles of stuff because I do. Oh, it just depends. You don't even really care too much about it. But okay, if it has a bunch of stuff in it, then maybe, you know.

Ingredients. Yeah. But like with this, but this is what I don't understand about this. This would be like you're having like Thai barbecue chicken and then like, you know, Mandarin barbecue chicken or something. It seems like you're, how do you know which one is which? Can you do a taste test? Do you be able to tell which one is which?

Well, this one's done. That's just why I work, which is why I stand. I thought I got that one. Oh, got it. It's not like you were drinking them at the same time. No, but they do do that with espresso and stuff at coffee shops. But every time I see people doing like flutes of espresso, different respects. Like there's orange peeling that one.

And then it's just, I'm like, what do they do? Yeah, you don't seem like that kind of. Yeah. I like, I love all that stuff. You do? Yeah. Well, you know what I? I don't hate it.

I just like, it's too much to do. Well, you know what I stopped doing was I realize, like I like lattes, but I don't want to drink a big gallon of milk. Yeah. I know. No matter what kind of milk, even if I use oat milk, whatever. It's like, so I started to get like a cortado. Yeah, cortado, but yeah. Yeah, it's like little, it's three shots, a little bit of milk.

Yeah. It's like, why you drinking all that milk? Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, a lot of milk. You know, it's just a lot of milk. And then I don't like a lot of sweetness either. So I just get like a... You don't? No.

No, I don't like... In my coffee? Oh, really. No, I just like, I would say like half sweet, please, or, you know, just one pump or whatever. Because if you, if you ask them, if you were a person, you were a person, and it gets sweet things. If you ask Starbucks or these kind of places, you go, well, yeah.

I'm just saying you go, how many pumps you putting in it? You'll be shocked. Yeah. We don't stop. You see the person over there going like this. We've been making it since noon. You just got here.

We'll give you that one. I feel like they go, it's like when you go, you know, when you go, would you like some pepper? Just tell me when. Yeah, yeah. You know, when they go. Yeah.

They don't stop with the pepper. I don't do that with the sweetness, man. Nick, is that you on the shirt? No. It's hilarious. It looks like Nick on the shirt. It does look like Nick on the shirt. That's Nick after we wrap Goldenauer.

So he got a thing. I got a thing. You got a thing. I know, I just want to say like, you know, last week when we talked about the monster with the trash can. Yeah.

Oh. Yeah, we had it on Instagram and I'm looking at some of the comments. And I was like, man, what did? I still don't think she should have been fired. Okay.

But listen, listen, let me just make my point and you can counter it. my point is I think this generation of people right now they don't understand what shame is oh okay yeah I'm with you know they're all about remove people from society they're all about she messed up so she should be fired and removed and her life should be ruined right and what I'm saying is shame does all that

the shame does all that it does and I think that the company should have said to her okay we're gonna put out something on our Instagram you're gonna be on there you're gonna do to you know 20 hours was a customer service where you're going to be out in the streets picking up trash and you know some kind of thing like that but this idea that everybody is like you know this everybody's like a warrior on the on the thing like oh he doesn't understand we got we got to get rid of her i maintain that she sucks at her job okay yeah and that's why and that's why it was easy to fire her but i just don't think that that was i i understand what you're saying yeah shame is

It's absolutely a palpable real reason to You know You know I mean take it from me It's it's the worst But now also because That aside though I don't know though

If you see somebody stealing And you're at the company You know that that person is going to steal from you Okay I disagree Really We already proved it in this clip That we that it's case by case because we wouldn't fire nick if nick was out in green bay and it was like he he's a

super this is a this is a specific yeah sure okay i would never won the championship in 53 years she's obviously a huge fan i'm not saying that justifies it i know no no i know it's not you're saying it's not i'll steal i steal every day yeah it's not like we caught her at a seven 11 on the on the on the on the security cam and she's putting you know milk chocolate in her purse and running out. So, so. That's completely different than this. I just,

I just think that I, I just challenge these comments that people are making where I'm like, no, what, no, I, I, you know, you think that you, you would, wouldn't be in this situation. Because that's what people think. They don't, they don't think that they're going to be in it. The good thing about being this overweight is you can drastically lose a lot of weight and then nobody will recognize you and you can get a new job.

Maybe. You know what I'm saying? That is the thing. Well, this. you know what's going to suck for her too is like she's going to go you know she's going for that interview to apply for another job she's like oh i see you were at chase uh what what happened and then they go wait a minute will you put on this orange hat i want to see something yeah can you put some dumb braids on in an orange hat and like i just that's all yeah i just

you know you're look the thing i do agree with it with you is shame i this woman Losing her job isn't the worst part about this for her. Right. It's everyone fucking hating her. Yes. Yeah. But I think that, but I would understand if she came out and was like,

I messed up. Yeah. You know, I just, I'm a huge fan. I shouldn't have done it like that. You know, it looks like I don't care.

By the way, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to, I'm going to, you know. The comments would still assassinate her though. I know. But still,

what I'm saying is the company that she works for, she has her back. This is what I'm saying. People just, people just, turn their back on you. Yeah, well, that's, that's, that's, that, well, obviously I feel a certain type way about that. Yes, that is true.

You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They just turn your back on you. You know, this is like, she was, but this person was, I mean, at the end of the day, this person was caught red-handed stealing, though. So it's a little, it's different than, let's say an accusation. But yeah, you know what I'm saying? Yeah.

I just, you know. what I'm saying is I give her a little bit of grace but also I'm gonna say this I get it too you want to fire you fire her you know you're like ah this is bad look

you don't want but is anyone anyone does anyone think about well Chase bank we have to stop banking there right no nobody does that yeah nobody

they might think that but they don't do it yeah that's like that's the part about it where you go that's the thing that's the weirdest That's the weirdest part. Like when they cut me out of that Netflix movie, it didn't matter. They didn't, they, they didn't, they've lost money because they paid more to make, to reshoot it.

Yeah, well, that guy that, nobody's out there being like, nobody's going to cancel their fucking subscription of anything. You know how hard it is to cancel a fucking subscription? You know, they passed a law. They passed a law. Look at it up, Nick, where, um, if you, they have to, company. have to give you a one-click option now something like that oh cool this is this was like a few years ago and and it's not happening it's not in effect people aren't following this wow interesting you know they're not following it i'd be fine with two clips two clicks i think one click is a bit much

well even what i'm saying oh shit oh shit i hit the wrong one now i got to redo the whole thing put to my credit card shit well the option needs to be there though you should be able to go on any site and cancel your cancel yeah yeah yeah yeah right right you don't you don't have to go fucking you get to find it and it you know oh man go see a wizard behind the fucking great now just head to i was getting some protein powder from this one company and it was a nightmare to cancel crazy where i had to go on to their instagram and i was like you what it's going on i need some help here this is you know so i i don't this is one of those ones where they don't really i did the job i canceling the gym is like i i canceled a gym membership once i was

on the phone with them for so long. My girlfriend at the time, she was trying to cancel it, and I go, give me the phone. And they were like, sorry, there's nothing you do. You come in. I said, no, I was on the phone. I was like, I'm not coming in, dude.

I'm not, it was like fucking, what do you call it? Ransom, the movie with, give me back my son. Fucking, I'm like, I'm not coming in. Fucking cancel it. Harrison Ford. No, no, Mel Gibson.

Oh, Mel Gibson. Oh, Mel Gibson. Yeah, Mel Gibson. But, yeah, dude, I, I, I, I, I, it's unbelievable. These fucking crooks, you know? Yeah, they're all. it's craziness how you you can't just go on to a thing i just had this happen i i canceled a membership

of something and i it was so hard to find and i was like well they do this on purpose oh definitely it's like how there's no clocks in vegas yeah well Vegas is having a whole thing right now man they they're they sold the land rights i just i saw i saw one of these crazy conspiracy videos about this but they like so that's why the casinos are charging for parking and they're not giving away free drinks anymore. Really? Yeah, there's a lot of stuff like that going on where they're not,

they have to pay all these high taxes now. Because, you know, so, I mean, what's the last time you went to Vegas just to go to Vegas? Like, you're not performing. You're just, right. I don't know. Yeah.

Would you ever do that? Have you ever done that? I would do that, yeah. I would do that. I would do that. Yes. Go to Vegas for a vacation? Yeah.

I went, I think I went with my, like, whole family, like, including my mom and dad. Yeah, a while ago, when I was in my 20s, and that was fun. Yeah, we saw like, you know, some kind of fucking thing where people were flipping around. Cirque du Soleil or so shit. Maybe that.

I already feel a certain way anyway. Then you watch Circus Salé and you're just like, oh. Well, I need to work out. Oh. You know what I mean? Bro, those people are just, you're like. It's insane. Are you 10 pounds?

Yeah. What are you doing? I have a friend that's a couple. They're married. And he's like, they did the one. I can't remember the name of it. She's the hula hoop.

She's in it. They're in it. Yeah, yeah. Is it the one with the clown guy, the big ball? Yeah, that's the famous one. He was the clown. He was the clown. But that guy's fat, though.

Oh, he was small. I don't know if they got new guys. Oh, wow. That is, yeah. Cirque de Saleh is pretty, that's one of those things that's like, you know, wow, that is so. so, so impressive. Yeah.

And who cares? Right. At the same time. You know, and I don't mean to disrespect you. You're killing it, bro. You did it. You figured out how to do that thing at the highest level. Ah.

It's like, who cares? Yeah. No, but it's one of those things too that it's, you can only do it at a specific place. Well, yeah, that's pretty much my gripe about it is what, you know, besides, you know, your fit and this is good for your health, I suppose, what do you, you know, imagine this guy at a party. What do you do? Oh, I'm in Cirque de Soleil. Oh, yeah, what do you do? Oh, I fucking, you know, like hamsters? I'm a hamster. But like in LaFaris wheel. Oh, wow. That's cool, dude. I just want to see what it has to be a thing where these guys

What's the practice for this? Oh, that guy almost fell. You study hamsters. You watch hamsters. This is crazy though. But you can only do this in Vegas. This is nuts, yeah. This is like Blue Man Group or something.

You know, people hype up certain things, and then you go see it, and you're always disappointed. This was sick. I saw it in San Monica. They got Nick. They got Nick. The thing about, no, people love it. And the thing about, God damn

Like they had to make this apparatus You know what I mean Well like who's idea What this is what I'm thinking What's the Who's sitting around Like do they come up with this Do these guys themselves come up with it?

I think they probably do Or is there someone like just sitting around Who's gonna jump rope? I don't want to see this at all They do I think they They pretend yeah Yeah

Yeah yeah so the little kids go Oh no and you know You look at the kids You gotta fucking meaning to do that I know but this is like so weird Even stuff that's supposed to be amazing. Like I saw the Michael Jackson one.

I went to, you know, and I was like, you see the hologram. I think I saw that one. You're like, you're like, wow. But then I,

in the middle of it, I was like, I thought there was too much of the Circus or late stuff going on. You know what? Guys, he's dead. No,

but my thing is like, if you're going to do a hologram of Michael Jackson, the whole thing should just be that. Well, for Michael Jackson, that, yeah,

that, I may be. But, but, but no, but, but no, but,

but, it's its own brand. I know, but what I'm... It's like a, what do you call it, I know, but when that part came... Stupid asshole. It was so different from the Circusole. I'm saying...

Yeah, yeah. It was so different. But it was to his music, though, right? I know, but just have do thriller, shoot, do, do... You know, you could do all... He's had so many iconic things. You could have just done a Michael Jackson show.

But that's not what Circus Salé is. Right. So why do it with Michael Jackson? That's my point. No, I don't agree, bro. Okay. You've got some cold takes today. What are you talking about?

No, you got some great takes, bro. You're one of the most takiest guys ever. Not according to somebody's comments. No, I love your takes, but it's just... No, because Michael Jackson is the biggest star that has ever lived. Right. I don't like how you're saying right after everything I say like you're agreeing and then you're fucking disagreeing.

You're making my point. He's the biggest star to ever live, so you don't need circumstances. Solay. But Cirque du Soe, okay, you don't need it. But Cirque du Soleil is like, we want to do it. Let's collab with Michael Jackson. That's good for Cirque du Soleil. And so they fucking collab and they stay relevant.

You don't need that collab. Who, who, who? The Michael Jackson team. Right. That very well may be true. Yeah. Yes. Brandon, he had Circa Solet.

You know what I mean? When he was doing his, you know, that'd be different. You know what I mean? Um, uh, yeah. I, what is this? Are you working out? Circusole. You're in the

hamster wheel. Wouldn't that be great? We saw Brendan and the hamster wheel lifting 225. I don't want to see any of that stuff because it's

it's too stressful. I don't want to see any of that shit. Yeah, I'm just like... Because you don't want you're gonna fall, bro. See, you don't want

your brain to even consider that. Bro. Like I'm sitting here, I want to be entertained and you could possibly die? I can't even say my,

kid to camp all day. I'm just like, well, is you right out there? Like, dude, I, I, yeah,

I laughed all day. I kept thinking about it. Bro, word for word, it was the funniest fucking texts. Bro, to get out of nowhere. It was incredible.

I said it to bring it to you. I said, I got my testosterone checked and I might as well have a pussy. With an exclamation point. I was So I was like, oh, okay. Oh, okay.

So I, I, I'm, I'm going to do whatever I need to do for that. I talked, I found, I, I found a legit trainer in my area to be like, all right, I got to go get, I have to go do a health test and all this stuff to see like what. I was like, no, I'm not. Look, look, look, look, dude, I just got, something about this text, dude. Dude, I just got my testosterone tested. I might as well have a pussy. My God. Like he's an old lady at church.

My God. So you get into your 40s, man. Oh, bro. You know, once you get your 40s, that's when it starts to become a thing. You don't realize it until... 400 at your age, our age is like good, right? Average. Average.

At least. Right. But I wonder what mine is, really. I failed that test. Somebody was saying I was talking about... I failed that test. Somebody was saying... So I was talking about testosterone, not...

with you with someone else and they were saying you can tell when somebody is low testosterone and i was like no you can't and they were like yes you can and i asked chichibd and they were like you can't tell and i was like and i was like come on dude you can kind of tell sometimes like if somebody is like wafy or doesn't have hair you know what i mean they have i don't know they're like ah and chachi chibc i did i do the voice one and they kept no i know it does seem like it but you know you can't you know and i'm i'm like all right i guess you can't i guess you can't i guess you can't But then it's like you do You look at guys like fucking

You know who's that Brock Lesnar It's like you know he doesn't have low tea Well maybe because But we don't know what these people Are doing And then and then I feel like that guy who's saying You're beautiful

Right He has it right 1400 James Blunt Test out You're beautiful It's true I feel like Eric's horny and angry Yeah

I've And hairy. Yeah. Yeah, I wouldn't. The first time I had done this before where I was, I was going to a place and I was getting this like, uh, biynthetical hormone treatment, you know? And at the time, I was, I thought everything was fine. Got to test and I was like, really?

You know? You know, I was like, really? But then like, you know, as you go, you know, I got it up to like eight, nine hundred, whatever it was. Yeah. Really? When was this? Oh, this was like a few years ago.

That's really hot. That's good. Yeah. So what I'm saying is. does that stuff does work but the problem is you become like where you can't get off of it so right so what did you feel different oh just energy oh that's fucking everybody just energy just like you know i was yeah you felt like i was the especially when you first start and it first really gets going that's when you really feel like wow you know you're just peeing like hugh you know i can

that's like that jack nicholson meme i felt like my dick with a lightsaber and you know it was cut the toilet open you know what i mean so those kind of things but you know again you get older you got you know it's why it is important to exercise and all this kind of stuff the exercising is fucking awesome yeah so you know it's like don't make excuses about it you just got to do it i just and i i i did military press yesterday oh my god and oh actually you know what i did so i was doing so sunday i worked out what yesterday monday monday i just go ah Today's back day, but should I just not do that and do like an active recovery thing? And I go to the gym and I just walked on a treadmill incline for 30 minutes and I'm like,

that's it. That's all I'm going to do. And I woke up today and I go, that was the fucking move, dude. That was the move. So do you feel confident in your knowledge about what you should do at the gym? You can just walk in the gym and go, I'm going to do leg day and you know what you're going to do. Yeah. See, I don't know all that stuff.

Yeah. That's why I was upset when I moved because I had this great trainer and I was really getting into it. And then I tried to go by myself one time And I just felt like I don't know what I'm doing And it was like Oh okay we did this machine one time And then we did this

It's really simple You just gotta say that But it's like you know it's not And you don't want to hurt yourself YouTube video Also 20 minute lower body Yeah true

Oh god You want to I want to be this guy in the gym Okay I don't mind that guy in the gym He's doing it You know what's better than those girls And they're like booty shorts

Filming at the gym Is it? what hi tea yeah yeah yeah yeah no i the also you know what you can do which which i like doing and i already know i kind of know what to do at the gym is is uh um just as chat p gpd literally you can literally be like i just did this eight reps what do i do now then it'll be like try for nine with this or this or you can take a picture of the machine too and be like this is the machine that has a hundred percent it's it's getting better and awesome yeah yeah for sure I'm on it.

I'm already like, I'm working on the diet first. Because you should, and I only say that because I thought about on when we were at the Fourth of July together, you know, we're out there running with our kids

and I'm like, man, this isn't going to get any easier. I know. Trust me. And he makes me run. I know, he sure does, dude. He wants to run and yeah,

and I was like you run and thank God. Billy, yeah, that was, wasn't that just the most adorable thing? I bet I got a, I got so I was looking. I almost started tearing up. Yeah, we're just watching,

because I was, was thinking about that we've known each other for so long. That's exactly what I was thinking about. You know each other so long and they were looking at our two sons. And then they were trying to communicate with each other. And they just, you know, they were pointing. And they were like, they started running. And I was like, oh, my gosh.

I was watching you and them together. And I was behind you guys. And I just thought about the ha-ha days. And I was just like, wow. I know, man. You know. Ha-ha's a great club. That was back when we were coming up.

We were doing those shows over there. I just saw it because Jack Jr. lives in Santa Carita. So he does a show out there. And his mom came, Terry came to the show. And I saw, you know, it was during the, you know, this World Cup game was going on in the back. So it was kind of weird. But yeah, you know, anytime I could do a show in Santa Carita. Yes.

Right. I almost want to open a club out there. Is there not one? No, there isn't. There isn't like an official club out there. I almost want to see if I can find a space and just, you know, this is what I do. You know, I just be like, oh, okay, I'm a club owner now. Oh, yeah, dude.

Oh, you know what I, and maybe we'll talk about this more. On the Patreon. In the Patreon part two. But I rented, I saw obsession. Oh, yeah, because I, I thought I saw it. Did you watch Project Hail Mary, though? No. Oh, that's free now.

You can watch it from free. Oh, it is? Yeah, but I watched Obsession. I don't, I don't have the desire to see Project Hell Mary. Really? Yeah, I thought I would. But I saw the trailer, I'm like, this kind of looks fucking cheese. Ah, that's pretty good.

I like, I like, I like the. a lot. But I did see obsession. What did you think? Didn't we, Didn't I tell you I saw it? Yeah, that's why I watched it.

Got it. Dude, I loved it. Did you? Yeah, I loved it. It was just, it was just, look, it had, it's,

I had you in my head where I'm watching it. I'm like, you know, why wouldn't he fucking go get another wish stick sooner? You know what I mean? Well, because I imagine you'd be like, just go get another wish.

Here we go. Yeah. just go get another wish now it's like have I ever in the history of talking went like this turn this shit up

oh my lo lo lo lo lo you know what I'm gonna say this I there's some issues I have yeah there but there but there's no no but the issues I have

is like it's more about like the storytelling issues I have not he didn't He did a fine job. No, let me tell you something. He did his thing. He did his thing.

The director, writer, did his thing. But there were some things I think that would have heightened it. Because here's the thing, man. This guy, Bear. Is that the director? No, no, no, the main character. The main character. He's the villain.

Right. Like the, the horror of it is, he's a coward. Right. But see, this is what I'm saying, though. This is what I, okay, if I had to have any creativity, critique in a movie. I don't think it should have been him that did this. You know?

I almost think like maybe like, you know what I mean? Like if one of his friends had been like he said, I got to help my buddy out and he saw this thing. It was like, oh, that would have been good. I wish he would have. Because then, because here's the thing, man. The moment, the moment that he felt she was doing all this because of the stick, he was a rapist.

Yeah. That was the horror part of it. because the moment she was acting like super duper weird that's when you go oh shit you know you go back to the place right hey hey but he called right right and this is what i'm saying but but not not not he called way late but even when he called and he hears her screaming yeah and they're like he's like what's that he's like oh that's her i love that scene that was the director do you know on the phone oh really but my thing about it was i was like i was like that is something he should have found out yeah agree you know what i mean like like the moment like the moment you know

moment he finds that out and now he has to like to me the movie then should have been about him trying to break this wish because no but the horror of it is that he's a bad guy you know what and he is a bad guy you know what you know what you know take this out i don't know if he's a bad guy so much as he's a coward yeah a coward which is which is actually horrific that that's really interesting to if you made the horror about him being scared himself and the horror came from that that would have been uh like nothing i've ever seen before right yeah that's I'm trying to say just little tweaks because here's because here's the thing too the way the movie opened up I was like yuck yeah but there's like I know but like if you're I bet every woman's push the

dried up right because who wants a guy like that right what's up guys uh you got some issues with your teeth and you don't want to get all those chemicals in your mouth you got to go with van man have you ever actually read what's in your toothpaste fluoride SLS what is that SLS, glycerin foaming agents, a chemical cocktail you're putting in your mouth twice a day?

Van Man, real ingredients. no exceptions well kind of except for that's the that's the idea of a good guy right that's the idea of a good guy even though we know what women don't want that but but the thing is i did think it was

interesting that the friend was like that's not what you want to do because he was he was he was in her yeah okay but then here's the thing too here's the thing when i say they missed they missed things so she comes back to the car where she's leaving you know and she says to her by the she was great yeah awesome in that scene where she where where he breaks the thing and then she's just waiting in the in the in the in the thing and she's like unsure of like why she's even doing it like what do I oh like oh I don't know just come in you know like that first scene right that she was so good bro I know but this is the thing about that right before that scene yeah which I think could have been played up even more to really show what a cowardy was right is she says to him do you like me

Yeah. In that moment, it's like, is she giving him a chance? Should he take his shot? Yeah, in that moment. Like, I wish there was more of that, a little bit more of that. And then he just started jokingly goes, you know, I wish, you know, it's like, it shows like, ugh, he was yuck. Yeah. He was so yucky, you know what I mean?

Yeah. And I just think that there was nothing redeemable about what he was doing. I don't know. Yeah. What I'm saying, it was very, he's the villain, though. To make him a thousand percent of villain. You're saying lay into it. it more.

Yes. Because there was, oh, here's another one. There's a moment in the movie where he says, you know, oh, she's like,

she's like, so her real personality's coming out because she's asleep. She's like, kill me. I know. Kill me. You know, and he's like,

what would it be so bad? Is it be so bad to be with me? That's him. That's him. That's when he should have became, he really should have became the villain. That was a telling moment that I do agree that they didn't,

I think it was intentional that the director laid off of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't, I don't want to say he did a bad job. No, no, it was good. I just saying, to me, you know. Yeah, I just think it would have been,

I think it would have been a little more interesting. I agree with you. But I still think the movie was fantastic and great. And anything that I think should be different is kind of just what I would have done. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Like, it's just nitpicking. But it was a great movie.

But again, if I, if I had to do any change, another change would be, I wouldn't have had her do that in her sleep. I loved that. No, no, no, no, but I'm saying I would have had him calling again and then hearing her. I don't know. Yeah, because then him still being with her would have been like, oh, my God. Because it's like, you know, it was like I like the like, because even like the love story part of it where like you go, he wasn't sure. Like I didn't like him recognizing immediately that, oh, this worked.

Yeah. I didn't, I don't want that. I want him to just be like, oh, that was, you know, just a. winky dink and she comes back and then you know and they had this like you know the the flashback romance i thought was good and then she started being weird oh man here's what i wish he would have done too remember when he was like i'm gonna go to work right and she's standing there like this yeah when he came in the door uh-huh she should have been standing there like that she did oh i must have missed it she did yeah what do you talk about no i must have missed it was she still standing

there smiling she was standing there no she had shit herself and pissed herself no no this is my point Chris, when he left, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, the camera was on her for a bit. I remember. And she was like this. Yeah. Yeah. When he came back in the door. Uh-huh. She wasn't standing there like. Yeah. Yeah. She was standing. But he, she immediately came over. Because she was like, oh my God, you're back. Thank God. I know, but I think it would have been. Why? Because then you would have known she stood there. You do know that. But I just think it would

That visual would have been crazy. She was standing Okay, so hold on a second She's standing there for so long That she didn't even go to the bathroom She pissed and shit herself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not enough?

No, no, no. She needs to be smiling. Yeah, because that creepy, that creepy. Nah, I don't like that. I want a dead creepy. No, no. Here's one other one that I didn't like. All right.

I don't think that when the one guy, he was like, he didn't believe him. The billion dollars, yeah. Who would a billion dollars? That's not how it should have happened. Because then if that's real, that more that's what I

that's a typical thing you'd have a problem yeah yeah they lost me on that it should have just been he should have got an alert from his bank or later and he would have been like dude there's a billion dollars

in my bank this is worth you it should have been something like that that's one of those things where it's a movie you gotta see something I know but you're suspending your disbelieve

at that point the movie was well already on its way and almost done I think they deserve to do they could do that but I say yeah I know I know I know

I know it was really great but I just feel like but just like I just like I just felt icky the whole time because I was like this guy what are you doing? Yeah. Because the more crazy she got the more and what a way to end too. That was a great

ending. It was yeah. You know that ending was they shot that ending specifically one time and that was what they used because in the original version she kills herself too like Romeo and Juliet. Oh. And they were like let's just try one

where you realize right before you kill that you come back to and then and they did that apparently according to the director barker uh they did it one time and he didn't want to use that one until time went by and he was like i just think that's the best one to do and then so no but it for sure is the best one to i thought it was great well you know why because the people told him the only way to break it is you have to die yeah yeah yeah so he was doing that yeah so but then to make it a great horror movie she had to wake up and be like oh my god What happened?

More horror, yeah. Like, that was like, you know. All my three best friends are dead. Yeah. Yeah. And she probably remembered. She was like, I killed them. You know what I mean?

Oh, my God. It was so creepy. You didn't see it, Nick? Mm-mm. Oh, but that's so high, we highly recommend it. We should have put, make sure you put spoiler alert. Like, you should still see it. It doesn't matter.

I don't, some movies, it doesn't matter if you support, if they spoil it because it's just such a fun watch. This is one of those. Yeah, it really, it really was. That was, uh, ooh. You know silos back. Yeah, I saw the first season of that only. I know you texted me about it.

Oh, you didn't see the second? Oh, okay. I thought you were into it. Sometimes they wait too long. Well, that's the thing. I saw this article about... And I hate to say that because... But I saw this article about that, you know,

the Netflix is losing over 50% of the viewership in the second seasons of shows. That's incredible. And I saw it on Instagram. I don't know if it's real or not. But then a lot of people are being like, well, it's because you take too long to come to... But that's such a fucking Gen Z thing.

day, dude. Or they also cancel shows too soon. Well, listen, man, to me, it's the binging. It's like... So I'm saying they have come out with 100 episodes at once. But it's like, just don't do that. My thing is like, just don't do it. Just put out one episode every week, like everything else,

and let people enjoy something for a long time. And then you, you know, if they want to wait, wait. Yeah. I guess just, why can't they just... If a show is a hit, why can't they just... shoot it while they air it like they used to yeah but this this and i know as an actor this this sucks what well even when i was on i'm dying up here man so we shot the pilot of i'm dying up here in like 2000 end of 2015 okay we shot this pilot we didn't start shooting the first season

till deep into 2016 all right so then we do silly eight nine episodes of that right and then it was a full over a year before we started shooting the next one so it took three years to do 20 episodes. I mean, that's like, what are we talking about? So even, I'm just talking about, that's what's going on with the actors. And then they have the exclusivity where they're telling you, well, you can't do anything else until we make a choice. That's what SAG should have been fighting for.

Sags should have been like- That was an archaic thing that was going to, you knew that was going to crumble, though. Well, they were thinking about how it was in the 80s and 90s where you were doing 22 episodes and you were making $60,000,000 episodes. So, okay, I'll wait a year. You paid me enough, but it's not like that now. It's just crazy. Even though I did like the second season of Avatar,

way better than the first season. This fucking guy, I'm never what I watched that. You wouldn't watch it? The fucking last airbender or whatever? Yeah, the airbender? Yeah, I love that one. I love this, but it's getting panned.

I don't know why. It's probably terrible. Oh, but I tell you something else, that was great. The third season of Euphoria was way, it was a completely different. different show. This guy,

yeah, so that was good. Before, yeah, you said that, you liked it, yeah. Yeah,

so that's a, you know, but, but they're, they're taking, all of these things, they're taking too long. Well,

no, that's, that's the thing. It's just like, but now, I hate saying that because it's like, it's an attention span thing.

It's like, if you fucking really like something, you wait for it, you son of a bitch, we'll make it good. You know what I mean? Let us fucking take

our time making it good. But also, there's 900 things that come out every week. I know, but... So it's like really tough. But let's think of the great shows. I don't think that...

Let's say, uh, good... No, what's the one with... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sopranos. Let's say sopranos, you can watch all the episodes... Yeah, now. Of a season. No I'm saying.

At the time when it first came out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think it would have been as good. Yeah, no. I don't think the hype would have been as good. I don't think... But that's what the problem is to me. But that didn't even exist.

I don't know. know but what I'm saying is if it did I understand if a show like that came out right now we would not enjoy it as much because we don't have time to talk it to water cooler like as they say yeah you know what I mean you don't need to talk to the water cool you just go on

fucking X right now yeah no I get it you know it's a different time it's a whole different thing but you you build up these characters you get to know you talk about it they have like you know it's like it sucks that they have to watch everything all at once and we all do it I do it I'm watching if I start watching a Netflix

show, I'm like, well, I got to keep watching this. Then I'm done in three days. You don't go, let me wait till next Tuesday. This will be my time to watch this fucking. You just watch it because it's available. But that's, to me, that sucks. And then, you know what? You know how I know they know it sucks too?

It's why they cut it in the middle now. They go, okay, here's the first five episodes of Stranger Things. And then they go, all, we're going to wait six weeks till we show you the last. If you count the weeks, let's say they put one episode out every single week. I bet you it's equivalent of doing it like that the way they do it. Well, I saw an article once that was like Netflix's number one competitor is in other streaming services. It's sleeping. And I'm like, oh my God, bro.

Like they're like, we don't want people to go to sleep because then they have to fucking turn us off. That is so fucking crazy, bro. Hey, let's take a break. You know what? I have a son. You know, I love talking about little wolf. And I have to think about the future. taking care of him and having conversations with my wife about it.

And so much more. For showtimes, press nothing. They're free 24-7. That is so fetch. On Pluto TV, stream now, pay never. But it's their fault, man. Yeah, I know. Well, look, I come from an era where there was, you know,

you never, you never saw the show again. If you missed an episode of a show in 91, you had to wait until 2025 for it to come out again on Netflix. Yeah. Yeah. Imagine, like, think of like a great show. Like that was appointment television. Appointment television is from my era.

If a show came on at 10 on Wednesday to watch it, you needed to be home at 10 on Wednesday. That's how you watched the show. And it was like something you thought about all day. You were like, oh, man, I can't wait to see what's going on. If you missed a big death, and then you have to hear about it from everyone else, you'd be like, what happened?

Tell me, what did he do? And then they're never showing reruns. Until like, you know, it's, well, you don't know when. You don't even know when. It sucks, man. That sucks. Okay.

Yeah. And now they're doing it now, but that sucks. But, you know, but that's what made people go, I got to watch it. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I don't even, I can't even think of a show that I thought was like, I can't. What's the last can't miss live episode of a show that you, can you even remember? No.

Wow. What about you, Nick? Entourage when it was on in HBO. I never got into that show. Entourage was great. Yeah, but I thought it went a season too long. Oh, for sure. That last season sucked.

That whole idea of that show I didn't like. I didn't like how that show made people act in Hollywood. Oh. Like dudes all thought they were on it and shit. It was like when Mad Men came out and then fucking we got jeezy. You know what I mean? It's like people just started fucking fuck you, bro. Yeah, that show,

yeah, I can't think, yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't like that. You know what I didn't like about that show? I didn't believe that guy was a movie star. Yeah, I totally. Listen, I never, ever believed he was a movie star. Nah. At best, a TV star, and he was because of that show.

It just was something about, yeah, it was something that funky. He was the worst part. It was all about Ari and Johnny Drama. Johnny Drama's funny. I was never a fucking Jeremy. Piven fan though. I get it. Yeah.

I loved him in that. I never watched it. Oh. He just seemed annoying to me. Always. But that was a part of the character. Nah, but he also is. Eh.

Well, I know him. I feel like post entourage, he like stuck in the R.E. character. Oh, yeah. Like, thinking himself as that. I think, but I think, like, I think Robert Darnie Jr. thinks he's Iron Man. Oh, man. Like, a thousand percent, right?

That's hilarious. Like, every time you see him, it's like, you know, you, you, Sometimes you get a role like that and you're like, okay, that's your role forever. Like the dude Tom, Tom, whatever's name is Spider-Man guy. Like, that guy is going to be 30-something now. You know, like he's been doing Spider-Man for so long. Don't they got a new movie coming out? Same thing with like Hemsworth.

You're like every now and then he'll do like a war movie or something. Right, right. But he's Thor. Yeah, I mean, yeah. That, you can shake that though after time. You can if you're good enough and if the cards roll you're right. I mean, it has to be, yeah, it has to be some sort of luck. I know, but I feel like, though...

Like, look at Keanu Reeves. I know, but... Bill and Ted. He was fucking Matrix. And now he's... I don't know what the fuck he's doing. Yeah, what's he doing? He did some stupid Appalachian. Now I just think he's Keanu Reeves.

Right, right, right, right, right, right. He's got that. You know what I mean? Yeah. But, like, I just think... I don't think there's anything wrong with, like, you have this iconic role, and then they keep it going,

and you're so good at it. I mean, I don't... That's cool. That's pretty cool. You know, you do what you can. The only person, there's only a few people that can just not be that, you know. Like I think Harrison Ford, I don't think people give Harrison Ford enough credit for being Indiana Jones, Hans Solo, what's the Jack Ryan? You know what I mean?

Like those, those are three pretty iconic different characters. They're not the same, in my opinion. Oh, really? Yeah. The way he did it. very few people that can do that where they're not that all the time. Okay. You know, I just think John Wick, do you ever watch that documentary about John Wick

you took you to watch? I want to see it. Oh, you got to watch that, man. That's so fascinating. Did people say it's so good? Yeah, it's just great. Just seeing like what they went through to do that. But even John Wick is like, you know, is John Wick, how different is John Wick from

Neo. I mean, no, they're different, I think. I mean, look, if you're talking about

acting chops, then, okay, you know, it's not like Keanu Reeves is fucking Daniel DeLuis,

but, you know, I don't know if you have to be Daniel, no, you don't have to be. You know,

because even sometimes I'm watching Daniel, and I'm like, oh, you're too Daniel Day Losey right now. This is two Daniel de Lewisy.

I won't hear that. No, no, hey dude, sometimes a person, like, they're, they're lost in the sauce of the,

like it's all about the art and then the story is not being serviced. But that's not... Nah, I don't know about that with him, man. Well, he's... Listen, he's... I know, I know you're not saying he's not good. He's the greatest actor ever of all the time.

You know what I mean? But like... Him and me, top... Him and me, and then there's Christian Bale. You? The three of us, yeah. I don't know. Christian Bail.

I'm a pirate. Ar! You think Christian Bale? Yeah, I think that could do it as just. fucking... You ever hear him talk about like he really is upset about what he did in Batman?

What? No. Oh yeah, it's great. Look that up. He talks about it because he's like, he's like, because of what Heath Ledger was doing. He was like, oh man, this guy is really in this role. Like he, this guy was like giving it. And he was like not giving that same thing back.

What I don't understand is and I don't mean to say that Heath Ledger wasn't good in Batman. I think he was. What I don't understand is why why everyone thought he was so good in it. You know what it is? I think you should watch it again and forget you're watching a Batman movie.

There's things that Heath Ledger was doing in these, the intimate scenes. Like the conversation he has with Batman in the jail cell is like that he won the Oscar on that scene right there. There's just like these, small moments he was doing.

And then when you hear about the behind the scene stuff, that one? Yeah, this is, man. Well, you know what? We watch it on the Patreon episode. So you got to go, you know, I'm telling you, this guy, this, this is why he had issues. Because he put him all himself in this. Really? And then Nolan was like, hey, man, this is a PG-13.

You got tone it down. Oh, really? Yeah, he was telling him that. Well, who, tell him what down? Dude, he was, he was being terrifying. Him? Yeah. Oh, really?

Like, the one girl that played, uh, uh, um, yeah, Ann Hathaway? No, no, no, no. Oh, Maggie. Yeah, she was like, waiting for sake, like wanted him to cut, cut, cut, cut, you know what I'm going to see this again? Because he was like, that's what I'm trying to say is like, sometimes when you're watching a movie like this, you get lost in the sauce of like, oh, this is a Batman movie.

And then it sucks too that he died, you know, while they were still doing stuff, I think. Oh. So the reason why a movie, like they couldn't do reshoots and then they, it became a four-act movie that made it terrible to me. Yeah. Because there's a whole two-faced section of the movie that I thought they could have done without. But I think because they couldn't do reshoots because he was dead, it was like, well, we got to go

with this. It's just like Gladiator, man. The guy in Gladiator died and they had a whole different ending they were going to have. Imagine you're in the middle of a $200 million movie and one of the guys die. you have to have a thing of like okay moment of silence and then it's like well we gotta keep going here

you know what I didn't know about that yeah it was the guy that was his like the guy that he you know his like not that ran the gladiators that guy died in the middle of the shooting of gladiator and it was going to be a particular different ending

but anyways that's I mean I could be wrong I read that someplace you know but I'm saying like this guy Heath Ledger just made to watch it again just watch it again with like the lens of like you know even if you want to skip to the scenes of him. Even that scene when he comes in and he's talking to the bad guys.

I know that scene. That scene was great. Yeah. Just every moment he had these small moments, he really, like, he was the Joker. You know, it was crazy. See, I don't, I think that what's his name was fucking Joker. Who? Joaquin Fien.

Oh, bro. Tattooed. He's great, too. Yeah, no, no. Not to, yeah. Yeah, he's great too. And I can't wait to see this new guy, not new guy, but. Oh, Barry Keegan?

Yeah, Barry Geegan is like great. He's great. Oh, but you know. what I tell you now he got panned for being the Joker uh what's his name that was in the Snyder Jared letter Jared Letto but in this yeah but in the Snyder cut of Batman there's an end scene he watches everything oh dude I love I just watched it again the other night it's four hours I was just in my room this the Snyder cut of uh Justice League oh my God it's so much better I'm telling you it's so much better wow so there's an end scene of the Batman

Ben Affleck and him having a conversation that I was like, well, there's the Joker. Like that, he should have been doing that the whole time. It's really good. Really? They have a really good back or forth, in my opinion. And I was like, that's where this could have been, this could have been a great thing. But then, you know, it gets all cartoony and whatever. Well, before I forget, I'm in Brea this weekend.

Come see me. Gotcha. You heard that. I'm going to be a New Mexico. I'm going to be in New Mexico. with Matt and then at the Greek theater with Matt I believe two of the shows are already sold out

and I think there's still some tickets left for the third show at the Greek theater. Greek theater, huh? Yeah. That's cool. Whatever it is. But yeah, man. So you gotta like...

I don't... Yeah. I can talk about movies all day for some fucking reason. Yeah, you know, but no, because it's... You know, why? It's because, you know, I feel like when I'm looking at a movie, I get lost in it if it's really good.

Or sometimes I only get lost in it but it's like campy because I'm just like losing myself but if they're trying to do something stuff I need to make you see Motor Kombat too do you saw it no oh I did

he just rewatched Snyder cut of Justice League yeah yeah yeah and he goes no are you kidding me I saw it with a buddy of mine we're on a plane no in a hotel

I was with Sam my camera guy I had so much phone watching that fucking movie, it was so horrid. Well, that's why you, that's what I'm saying. But I realize, I realize that it's more fun to watch a bad movie than it is to watch a good movie. Lorienco, you know what?

I think that's great. You love it. Find out on for your amusement. Follow rate and review for your amusement wherever you get your podcast. Bye bye. That's why I love like, you know what I love all of like

the last 10 years of Bruce Willis. Like a lot of his movies were just super bad. But you get, you know, this like, you know, this fucking movie. What was like? Pierce Bronson.

movie Fast Charlie. Where he plays the Southern guy? Yeah, he's playing a Southern guy. And his accent... You show it's bad? Is so bad. His Southern accent is so bad. I was like, I don't know.

Like, they had to be on set. And they had... I just know the crew was just like, oh, God, this is... Because they shot it in. You ever see the Denza Washington do the British one when he was younger? Oh, no. You didn't? No, no.

Oh, man. See if you could bring that up. Well, he's... In the Gladstone. The new gladiator. Oh, he goes like this. No, I'm not doing it. He's not doing it.

I'm from New York. Did they have an interview about him at all? Did he talk about it at all? No, but I just. That was hilarious. Yeah, just was like, wow. Some of him would just cash. He's been, Denzel's becoming the new Al Pacino.

Yeah. You know, where he's a character of himself. What was him? Oh, just Denzel British accent younger. He, I mean, he was like 20, bro. And it was, and it's, there it is. It's not. movie is this?

I don't know. Oh, wow. I think it's the fucking first equalizer. You can put me out there as a front gunner to get me bleeding head blown off. I'm British dead, yeah? Yes, but you're still becoming British citizen. All you have to do is send a check 200 pounds. Send it to me, I'll hurry along because I know you want to go on a holiday.

You don't understand, do you? The 200 pounds has got nothing to do with it. I appreciate him particularly. I appreciate it. You don't appreciate it. I can't watch it anymore. This is like watching like a hero. You know what I mean?

You know, there's another scene like this that, you know, in the original Star Wars, Princess Leia, in her first scene on screen, she has a British accent. Why? And it was so bad that they just stopped doing it for the rest of the movie. Really? But they, but it's in the movie. You know what I mean? And then for the rest of the movie, all of a sudden, she just doesn't have a British accent.

Really? Yeah. Wow. See, that's the kind of nerd shit I like. Yeah, this is crazy. Tighten your grip, talk. The more star systems will slip through your fingers. Will somebody get this big walking carpet out of my way?

Yeah. Wow. That wasn't that bad. It was just fake. Oh, well, that's just a little bit of the scene. There's earlier. There's more of her, like really. Yeah, it's bad.

You know, when they first see her. So I just. That's your crazy. I love that. They go, nah, fuck it. Yeah,

yeah, yeah, we're gonna reshoot. We're gonna reshoot? You're fucking Star Wars. Yeah. But so Mortal Comet just not good, huh? Bro.

You go, who was the worst part? What was the worst part? Nah, you can't even. You can't do that. You go, you go, I don't even know,

you know when like a shot will just be of an actor and they're not even doing anything and you go, what is, he's not good. He's in his dad's clothes. Like,

What's going on? They're just like, and you're like, he's not the guy. Dude, it's so bad that, uh, you actually,

I, you know how like when you're on set? I understand how some movies you see and they became bad, but you're like, on set, you're probably like, yeah, I could see how people were like,

I think this might be good. There was none of that. There was none of that. Did every, every time the director ended the scene, he would go, cut? let's move on there is no way there there is no way they were like fuck yeah got it go let's go

it was terrible well on purpose no i i i think not on purpose i think there's a lot that goes on i i here's here's an eric thing that i that i i just i can't get over this fucking part okay this is a this is a 100% thing that eric would okay what is a scorpion is in it though there's two scorpions. There's the younger scorpion and then there's the older scorpion. I don't know if it's a son or fucking what. Okay. Yeah, I think it's a bloodline. But anyway, the younger one dies early on.

The older one, you meet the old one halfway through the movie. He's this Japanese actor's from the ring. He's a good, you talk like this. Oh, no. So it was playing up to Japanese. Whatever. Fine. At the end of the movie, he's Scorpion, right?

At the end of the movie, he finally does his fucking fight where he's doing fucking, you know what I'm talking about. Get over here. Get over here. Yeah, yeah,

during the fight, he goes like this, get over here. Yes. I'm in the theater like this. That's not his voice. Yeah, yeah. Nope.

This Japanese guy just goes, get over here. This is my thing, man. This is my thing. Make an effort. Just make an effort to explain that.

That's all. Like here's a Batman thing This is every single Batman They always talk about Like how can you can't recognize The Desperance Yeah yeah yeah yeah So they always have a thing So the Snyder one

He goes you know what He's gonna have a voice modulation thing That's all And he just had a simple scene Where Alfred's like I fix the uh You know that's it So then in your brain you can go

All right I can now suspend my disbelief I know what this is When that kind of shit happens you just go, what, we're all idiots in this theater? We're just idiots, huh? All of a sudden now he could just talk like that? No, that takes you out of the movie. Now, what happens when you have these kinds of stars in the movie?

This is what happens in a movie like that, I can imagine. You're on set and you got 50 cent and you got all these people. Like, they're not trying to make a great movie. No, no, no. You know, they're not. It's probably, that was probably impossible for that director to get what he wanted. I guarantee you that cut of the movie. is not the cut that the director wanted.

Yeah, no, no way. If Snyder has to make a Snyder cut of the movie that's completely different, you think that director had any say at all? I don't even know who the guy's name is, but I guarantee you, he's at home someplace. Anytime somebody talks about the movie, I bet you he's like this.

What a nightmare. Yeah. Like, it was a nightmare. I wanted this, I wanted, you know what I mean? Because the studios get in the way. You know, there's people that, you know, there's too many cooks in the kitchen. You know, that's what happened.

man. Yeah. So when a movie like that is like even a little bit good, it just, you just get lucky. That's why I want you to watch just John Wick documentary because it was like everything they did was stuff that they wanted to do and it was based off like budget too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I love that. That's how you get a good movie.

Just the one thing is like the, what do they call it, gun, gun, foo. Yeah. That is strictly because they can one shot it. Not because it's like it looks cool or whatever. And it just turns out that that's just a cool looking thing. And then, like, you find out that Keanu Reeves was improvving, killing people. Like, the guy would be screaming out like, you're out of bullets, you know, in the middle of the scene. And he was just switched guns and, like, you know, and all the stuntmen knew what to do.

You know what I'm saying is like that. So, but they had full control of that. Yeah, yeah, because it wasn't going to be John Wick. They didn't know. They didn't know. You know what Mortal Kombat is supposed to be. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly, and that's what fucking hurt it.

And the thing is, it's like, that concept for a movie is so stupid. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a video game. Right. How do you make that? It just reminds me of the, you know, the, what's this name, John Claude Van Damme's Street Fighter one. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, that's what all those fighting fucking movies games are. I know, but what I'm saying is there's a way you can just... No, there's a way to make a video game a good movie. In the same way that... You have to completely do your own thing, though. I'm saying it's the way that Nolan changed the genre of superhero movies. Without Batman Begins, there is nothing past that. Do you know what the Batman before that was?

It was freaking, it was terrible. Yeah, yeah, Jim Carrey and... Warner Schwarzenegger, it was all... It was all cartoonian. It was... He made it, he made it like a real movie. That's what was needed in this. Uh-huh.

They needed it to be like, okay, I know it's Mortal Kombat, but we need to make this feel real. No, I know. I agree. It's so, just so bad. They don't care. It's going to make money anyway.

What is this? Honestly, our video game movies are our waste land go up for decades. We're wasted over decades and only the last few years. Right, yeah, okay, it doesn't count if they're for fucking kids. Yeah. Well, I kind of disagree with the resident evil. I think Resident Evil, well, maybe they just didn't do it right either,

but I like that chick that's in that. I watched Fifth Element the other day just because I was on a plane and the Fifth Element was on that. I was like, let me watch this. I love watching movies I've seen a million times on a plane. Worth nothing. What does that even mean? Oh, well, Uncharted was Bad Bad, but, but, but what do you mean worth nothing?

What does they mean? Where does it say that? Right there, right, right. Worth noting. Oh, stupid. Jesus. Uncharted and Tomb Raiders are competent, forgettable.

Yeah, yeah, they tried with Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie. Then they made it again and it was like really bad. Yeah. What's her name? That chick's a great action. Did you ever see,

what is it? She was a robot. Makina. Oh, yeah, yeah, ex machina. God, I love that movie. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, that's what's saying. If that was like a video game movie,

they would have been like, all right, make it like that. They should make a Red Dead movie. movie. Yeah, I'm surprised they haven't, huh? Rockstar must just keep their shit, so it's all about the games. I don't know. Because you think they're being bankrupt auto too.

Well, I mean, when is this shit going to come out? Yeah, that's a fucking, are you kidding me? When is that coming out? Well, no, no, I'm just saying the video game's coming out later this year, but why don't they make movies of that? That's just money in their pocket. What, they should do it. They don't even need it.

But they don't need to do it. You spend a billion dollars on a video game that you know in 10, 12 years. You're going to make your money bag tenfold. There's no movie they can make. Why not? That's going to make that kind of money. Yeah, because people like to stop making money.

That makes no sense. No, but they make more money. Why even waste your time with that? It's not a waste of time. I like that it's exclusive. Nah, bro, you're a sucker. Oh, my, you're a sucker. Because you want everything to be made in a movie.

I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying. coming to theaters Christalia.com. It's like that's the movie. Yeah, dude. One man. Crowds.
