everybody to the thing show it's episode two of this show nice to have everybody here it's me
prishan harlough thank you as he announced all the uh changes coming to sien and this is one of the uh
the big ones no pun intended that we just did uh the big thing and and i am humbled that you guys
loved the first episode so very much and this character look he's back already
It is so nice to watch you, work the buttons, pump up the volume, turn down the volume as necessary.
Got a bonapig with you about last week's episode.
What happened?
I saw it like five seconds of it because I opened up YouTube and whenever I opened up my YouTube app,
it will show like video of something that I might be interested in, right?
So it shows the big thing.
Fine, that's fair.
And there's motion.
And I see me doing what Christian Harloff so desired Mark Ellis to do for so very long.
long. And that's look at you, not at you. He didn't want me to look at you, dear viewer.
He wanted me to look at him. Now, you go back and watch that episode. You're staring right
down the barrel a couple times. At these people the whole time.
Well, never once made eye contact with me. So this entire show, I'm going to be looking right at you.
I am paying him no mind. No, no, should you? You're literally looking right down the barrel.
Not fair. I'll tell you why. It's black eyes. No, no, I'll tell you why. Notice how this is
different this time? I can actually see you better because last time I was like this. I don't know.
Like I'm not looking at you, but I am.
You just got your eyes everywhere, don't you?
I do.
Just a real...
Well, after everything that's been going on, are you, were you surprised?
I'm going to Harvey Oswald.
You're the guy in the grassy, no.
You're the guy that's actually got his eyes everywhere.
And I'm just like, oh, the guy told me to aim here.
So that's what I'm going to do.
No, you're also the comedian.
Look at me.
Look at me.
Hey, come on.
Stere, I need love for everybody.
So someone who doesn't love is love, who talks about not liking love.
I'm a professional, okay?
You want it right in the eyes.
On television or porn, they want it right in the eyes.
That's a pro.
Yeah, that is.
That's what the...
See that Ellis kid on set?
He knocked out five scenes today.
Kid took it like a champ.
That's what we should have called.
We're trying to come up with a new brand name.
And that donkey was hydrated.
Sometimes you get a great TV gig.
Sometimes you're just making ends meet.
And that's what happens.
Always do it in the eyes.
Always do it right in the eyes.
Look, they're paying you for a job.
In the eyes.
we should call the brand.
I might back off of that.
Back off.
Yeah.
Fair enough.
Just you and me with goggles.
Yes, that's it.
But were you surprised with the response that the first episode got?
I hope it's been great.
Yeah.
Have you not seen any of it?
I don't.
You don't do that.
Pay no mind.
It's not that I don't appreciate.
Nice things are bad things, but it's, I, you texted me that a lot of people were talking about
how nice it was to have you and I back in the same studio.
Talking pop culture and that kind of stuff, too.
We feel the same way.
We do feel the same way.
And I think that that's why we agree that we would do this.
Because it's like, because it was a matter of being able to just have a conversation talk.
But then as we said last week, we're not going to just talk, well, we need to talk about this movie.
We have to review this.
It's like, no, because like perfect example is today.
If you saw the trailer, I watched Luca with my daughter.
You watched and saw.
Looka with your daughter.
Looker with my daughter.
But you watched and saw Hitman's wife's bodyguard for whether it was work or whatever you did.
So you saw it.
So we'll talk about that.
I honestly.
went for um because it i wanted to go back to like a proper screening but this was kind of a cool
invite that they had it was it's so funny it's remember the silent movie theater right across the
street from orange yeah it was at that theater was it really and so what that theater is now is
it's still the theater but when you go around back maybe this courtyard area is already there and i just
never got invited back there they had this whole setup with this nice spread of food they had free
booze. I drank a couple white claws.
And they didn't have beer. I asked for beer. They didn't have beer. And I was like,
all right, I can check the white claw. I accept it's 2021.
How is that stuff? I never had a single sip of it. It's good, but it will.
You can drink a lot of them. Yeah. In a short period of time. And you shit house.
And not a lot of calories, but the alcohol is no joke. Really? Five percent alcohol per can.
Does it taste like like? No, I mean, it's really good. It's really. I had, I had a pineapple one.
I just can't do the, I can't do them.
in bulk as like where I can suck down a fair amount of cores lights, right?
But it's so either the sensation of fruit or the taste of an iced tea raspberry situ.
I just can't do too many of them.
Same thing with the ciders.
Right.
Like you have one of those ciders, they're delicious.
And you're like, oh, this is my new alternative to beer.
It's gluten free.
This is great.
It's like Zima.
I went through a cider one time.
Same thing.
Yeah, back in the day, you're SEMA, you're smearing off the ice.
You finish one of them.
like, this is, this is it.
It's amazing.
I have found.
Right.
And then you open up the second one, you take a sip.
You're like, I don't think I can get through.
I don't know if I would do it because it's, it takes, does it taste like sparkling water?
A little bit.
Does it?
Got some of that, like, or Croix with bite.
So it's dangerous for me.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
And these people, these morons, have these at barbecues.
Like, it's a safe alternative to beer.
Right.
And like, here's what I know with beer.
Exactly how drunk I'm getting.
Yeah.
I have such a good gauge.
I can tell you what my blood alcohol.
level is after every beer I drink.
With White Claw, no idea.
But that's also experience.
Partly, but it's the same thing with these
illegal street racers in the Fast and Furious movies.
How many times have you actually hit that turbo button to get the
Nause injection? Is this your first time trying it?
I know. I need, wait, so go back to it.
So you go to the silent theater.
Show up there. They have a nice spread hanging out with some good
people. I haven't seen in a minute.
And then you go in and then they start the movie.
By the way, the corn at this place.
Good stuff.
You're going to be very upset.
Hold that thought because I thought of you immediately.
You know that Pacific Grove is gone now, right?
The theater?
I did not know this.
I'm sorry.
Pacific is not a, they shut down under a pandemic.
What a bedside manner you have.
Who's your, who's, who, which popcorn do you hate most?
Which popcorn do you hate, what do you hate?
What do you hate AMC popcorn or do you hate Arclay popcorn more?
I'm not going to crap on Arclay when they're down.
Right.
Well, there's the same company, Pacific.
So.
But $19 for that little thing of Carmel Corp?
Who you kid?
It was not good.
But AMC's taken over that theater apparently.
I just don't love the corn.
I know.
They either never salt it or it's too salty,
depending on what batch you get.
I even noticed that when I made my comeback to a movie theater
with Godzilla versus Kong,
and I'm so excited.
I'm there on the front row.
I get maybe this deep into my large corn,
and I take my Reese's pieces that I also got.
I was planning on fatting up that night.
I dump them right in the popcorn.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
It actually was a nice concoction.
Don't knock that stuff until you try.
Don't fall down the same trap that I used to.
because I was against putting anything in popcorn.
And then Eliza Schlesinger taught me the trick where you put sour patch kids in popcorn.
I'm like, Eliza, this is no way this is going to work, okay?
I appreciate you're up with the trends that the kids are doing.
I'll dip it in a nacho cheese.
Sour patch kids and popcorn, not bad.
M&M's and popcorn is a given.
That's good.
But Reese's pieces, especially if your corn isn't up to par,
because I didn't want to go butter and salt simply because they still don't dispense the butter
where you can do it yourself and they don't do it at the time.
you literally have to go to an entire different stand.
And behind the stand, they have these little shots of butter that they will give you.
And I'm like, I just, do you know, I can't do any of this anymore?
Why not?
Doctor.
I talked about this on the Sien today.
Like, like, and I, oh, the cholesterol.
I went to, I went to dinner with a mutual friend of ours.
You had a great description for your, for your level of cholesterol currently.
This is what he said to me.
So I'm curious if you feel the same way, because he, what you're about to say,
because he said the same thing.
When I told him what it was, he goes,
it's a great way to describe it,
because I understand what you said.
I'm almost,
I'm almost medicine.
You're almost medicine with cholesterol, yeah.
Yeah.
That's what I said to him.
Well, it was very nice of your friend,
who we both know,
to treat you in Italian restaurant.
He didn't know, you know, but he's like, you know,
as we're there,
and there's the,
the waiters coming by with the pizza,
I almost tackled the fucking guy.
Oh, yeah.
It was like.
It's so, you can, you can game plan,
a healthy diet.
And you can execute it fine. Last night,
dude, I had a chicken, I had salad with chicken,
grilled chicken. Okay. I had tuna
tartar for an appetizer at an
Italian restaurant. And then
and then the main course was salmon, which was
delicious with broccoli. Oh wow.
That was it. No tiram suede. You got 100 grams
of protein in you and I know. Well done.
A lot of protein. That's my go-to. If I'm eating
in an Italian place and I got to go healthy, I'll just go
the Caesar salad, no dressing,
no parmesan cheese, give me some grilled
chicken on it. Now I have another bone
pick with you because I asked you specifically
for one thing.
What?
Last night.
What was that?
I said,
take a picture of the menu and send it to me.
I can still do that.
Yeah.
I mean,
I could probably just look it up online.
That's exactly what I would do.
I would send it to you.
Was it good?
I mean,
it did the food that you weren't allowed to eat.
It smelled delicious.
It was great.
I did have two glasses of wine,
which was nice.
Good man.
But,
you know,
the food,
everything else smelled delicious.
What did your dining partner order?
Because I would have gone,
I would have gone,
I would have gone full meatballs.
You had this breaded chicken with
Oh,
Oh, yeah. And this pasta, which I'm not going to lie.
I had two bites of the pasta. It's delicious.
If you get it, if, now they have to offer it to you.
You can't, you can't just go in there grabbing because you're a cholesterol monster.
Yeah. If they offer it to you, doesn't count against anything in your dying.
That's what I said.
A bite of a meatball. Yeah, that's how I just. A chicken parm.
That's how I justified it.
But now I have, now I have three wardens in, in the house, you know, making sure that I, that I,
Oh, mom's got the kids on her side.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
I had one kernel of popcorn.
I got ratted out.
Snitch.
What was her selling point?
Like,
Hey, kids,
your dad's going to die in a week.
More or less.
If you let him eat popcorn.
More or less.
But it was my oldest doesn't give her.
She used more popcorn and treats for her,
so she didn't care.
I'm curious with cholesterol medicine.
Like,
what's the advantage of being on the medicine as opposed to just eating a strict or diet
without being on the medicine?
Is it?
I don't know.
If you take the medicine,
can you have some of the meatball?
Or is it just because now it's so bad that you need the medicine just to get down to
to the healthy diet?
I think it's both, but my wife was saying, which I don't disagree with her.
It's like, because my exercise has been so terrible over the last, like, couple of years.
But you get high and go for walks.
Not even that.
Not even that.
I wasn't doing that anymore.
His exercises, he gets high.
And then he goes outside and he takes a left.
And then he just gets lost until he finds his way home.
This, this has changed my life.
Oh, yeah.
This supernatural program thing on Oculus.
It's phenomenal.
It's phenomenal.
The supernatural program.
Yes.
I get, I actually get a.
excited to work out. I have never gotten excited to work out. Oh, is that like where, so I heard about
this app that you can download, that runners download, that you listen to it, and it's, and it's the
sounds of zombies chasing you. And if you go too slow, the zombies catch up to you. That's great,
but no, no. It's not, they have a creed boxing program, which is pretty cool. I haven't done that one,
but they're not supernatural. That's a separate app. This is, you legit see a trainer in front of you,
telling you and you and you have you heard this program beat saber yes yeah so it's it's similar to
beat saber where you've got these two bats and they look kind of like light savers yes and like to the
beat of the music you're like slap and shove it building the chest and the arms and
but the difference is you have actual trainers there workers are with and they have licensed music
which beat sabers doesn't right so and you're like doing a program to it and you're moving and they're like
encouraging you that you're doing warmups you're doing stretches you're doing all of that and then i have like
it's pretty great. We did a thing one time. I don't know if you remember this. You might not because
you weren't necessarily involved in it. It was something that was our company. Yeah. And then you weren't
available that day or whatever. And so I recruited Makuga. And we went over to the studio and we did
something where they were like pioneering some tech with Beat Sabbers. They were trying to get us like do
beatsabbers. So we did a little bit of it. But then they're like full in. And they like love
beat Sabre. And so we set up this thing. But knowing me, I was like, yeah, I'd love to do it sometime. And then I'm
just like, ah, that sounds like effort. I don't, I don't know. I don't blame me.
but I have actually found myself excited in the morning to go come and do this.
Like, and it doesn't feel like work.
And so that's the first time like this show or the Oculus.
Both.
Okay.
This show for sure.
Yeah.
The trainers, because the trainers are in your end, they're encouraging.
But anyway, between that and the diet and all that, I mean, it's, you know, it's just, it is what it is.
So that's our review of the hitman's wife's body guard.
You got, three out of five, Schmo.
We went through all the actual, uh,
You know, the pre to get there.
But you go and you get to the, you get your treats.
You sit down.
Yeah, I had a corn.
I didn't finish all of it.
Thank you.
I went about half full on the corn.
I could have definitely crushed all of it.
And look, this movie, I will say this about it.
You get what you pay for in boatloads because you get a lot of jokes, most of which land
pretty well.
You get a lot of ridiculous over-the-top action.
But this is the kind of movie that I like to see ridiculous over-the-top action.
And even more so, and I'll get killed for this.
than the Fast and Furious movies now.
Yeah.
Because I've actually fallen in love with a lot of the characters from Fast and Furious.
And so I want that to feel a little more grounded.
Even if you just got down to like a Mission Impossible level.
No way.
I know it's not,
I know it's going literally the opposite way.
I know that I am that guy.
Did you see the new one?
Not yet.
No,
I'm that guy at the train station.
And I'm waiting.
I'm waiting for my gal.
She's going to be here any minute.
Right.
Tell her train left three hours ago.
She's going to,
she's going to the big city to be a star.
She's not,
she wasn't,
she was never coming home for you, Mark.
Yeah.
So that's how I feel with the Fast and Furious movies.
I'm still excited to see this one.
Yeah.
But it's weird because if I'm less attached to the characters,
I really don't care if they live or die.
Like in the Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard.
I'm like, go ahead.
Right.
Go ahead.
Have a rocket launcher and a hot air balloon.
I do not care.
Right.
So what's this one about?
So the first one.
I don't remember.
We saw the first one together.
I remembered very little of it.
You don't need to have seen.
No, I saw it on.
It was on TV the other day.
Now it makes more sense why it was on because I was so confused when I saw this title of this thing.
And I'm like, didn't they do a movie like that before you?
I didn't realize it was a sequel until you told me it was.
But I just remember that Ryan Reynolds gets involved with Sam Jackson.
What's Ryan?
He's the bodyguard of a hitman.
Oh, that he was.
Of the hitman, hence the hitman's bodyguard.
And so then if you recall, the one thing I did remember from that movie is Salma Hayek was in prison, I believe, at the time.
And she was the wife of Samuel Jackson's character.
and she stole the movie, or at least every scene she was in.
She was great.
And she continues to do that.
So this is her movie, and she's got some nice boy candy around her.
Is she a bad, she like a badass kind of foul mouth?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but she just has this attitude that is so fun to follow along with.
And it really is what drives the movie, in my opinion.
But Morgan Freeman pops in, and he's a lot of fun.
Antonio Banderas is great, not just because,
every time I'm watching him, he's, he's awesome.
And then I can close my eyes.
Was he in the first one?
And I'm like, it's push and boots.
I actually don't remember.
I don't think he was in the first.
Was, did Antonio Banderas and Salma Hoc have any scenes together?
Yes.
Okay, because of Desperado.
I mean, that's...
Well, yeah, yeah, you get the desperado once upon a time of Mexico connection.
Frank Rillo, our boys in that is in it too.
So you get a lot of stars in it.
And it's, I mean, it's ridiculous.
Don't take it seriously.
Yeah.
And don't get too attached to anybody.
And you'll have a lot of fun.
I'm just...
You'll have fun.
But I don't remember the first one.
Like I said, I barely remember it.
And did it do well in the theater?
That's a great question.
I'll look it up.
It's a good question, right?
We can get, we can guess because I'm, I just feel that I don't know if that movie justifies the, how much it made.
Let's see how much it costs and let's see how much it made.
So, I mean, that, that has to be the, the reason why it got greenlit?
Because otherwise, why wouldn't you just make this for a streaming service?
I have a feeling it did well overseas, is my.
So let's see.
I'm going to guess that the first movie...
This goddamn box office mojo thing.
What happened?
I mean, you talk about a site taking a dump.
Take it just a 180, the opposite direction.
Oh, they were the best.
What happened?
They just changed it all up.
It is unusable.
Really?
And it has been for a couple years.
Why did they do that?
I don't know.
Why did they do that?
That said it was working fine.
The guys, hey, box office mojo, the guys who want pictures of the menu at the restaurants,
I want you to change it to them.
Don't like your thing.
So.
Don't tell me how much.
I want to guess.
Okay.
To make the first movie, I bet you it cost $60 million.
Okay.
That is your guess.
Maybe even lower.
Okay.
I had the figures of how much it made, and I'm going to type in the budget.
They don't give you like the actual, the way they used to do it.
That's, all right, don't get upset.
They used to tell you everything with one.
Do I look like a representative of box office mojo?
Yeah, you do actually.
You actually do look like a representative of box office mojo.
You look like you'd be able to sell that site very well.
Oh, yeah, maybe if I was like door to door.
Which is probably what they're doing at this point.
Sell me as box office mojo.
You're going to sell the site.
Hello?
Hi, I just wanted to see if you'd be interested in some box office figures from
films like the hitman's bodyguard.
No.
Sequel now in theaters.
No, thank you.
Do you mind if I come in for just a second?
I really need to use the restroom, sir.
Yes, that you can.
Just don't sell me on Ryan Reynolds movies anyways.
He only has Deadpool.
do door-to-door schmodehouse. I can sell this.
He's definitely good. Okay. What did you think the budget was?
Between 50 and 60.
$69 million.
Wow. All right. Perfect amount for that movie. Right. And then to make
worldwide, 150 overall. What do you think it did in the States first?
States, I think it did 40. Okay. And your worldwide figures?
110.
75 million domestic. Okay. $21 million opening weekend.
Okay. And what about?
176 million worldwide.
Worldwide.
So that justified it.
That's where the money comes.
You do it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
So that justifies it because then you make a profit on it.
You do a second one.
You see if you can do it.
I still think they probably could have just done that streaming at this point.
I just wish I could have thought like,
compared this one against the first movie more because like you,
I remembered very little.
Yeah.
Nothing.
I remember the movie existing.
I just have no idea if I actually had feelings on it or not.
I do want to jump in.
I'm going to jump into Luca in just a moment.
Which you saw.
I did see that.
But I did see that.
But I also want to tell you.

Yeah, they are.
I'm very happy that we're with them
because they've been,
I've got a lot of,
text from people in the stream message saying that they were able to do it.
And it's like they're embarrassed at first to try to go into a real, you know, into a room.
Yeah, you got a waiting room and you got other people and you're making eye contact.
And then you also have the mask thing.
And what are the social guidelines?
What are you able to do?
So this, it really is the modern way to do.
It was.
Speaking of that, you know, when you, lastly, you talk about masks.
I didn't say anything at the dinner.
I was at, except the waiters.
California's open now.
So it's like, for the moment.
part, I still am like, okay, because like I walked into Whole Foods yesterday and everybody was still
wearing masks. And I'm like, look, I'll play the part. Yeah. Okay. I just want to know what the rules are because I can go to the gym. Right. And I don't need to wear a mask anymore. Yeah. Do you wear the mask in the gym? No. You don't do it. No. I mean, let's face it. I go to the gym just about every day. Not necessarily to work out. You know, I'm just hanging out, taking pictures.
Trying to get some, well, don't do that. That's creepy. You know, it's taking video. Pictures yourself. You know, huh? Yeah. No, no, no, of other people work.
You walk in.
You walk into the gym and you just, you knock the selfie out and you're just like,
hey, at the gym.
And then, then you leave.
You should just walk, you should just walk in and just start taking pictures of people as I walk in.
Hey, you know that guy?
Hey, can I give you a box office nugget from 2005 in exchange for a picture of your body working out?
It creeps all over.
That's it.
Yeah.
That really, that is the worst that you could do in the gym.
It is actually filmed someone else.
The worst.
Yeah.
Yeah, you can't do that.
Yeah, the pictures are one thing.
Like, if it's Warren, if there's a guy who's been shadowed by,
where you want to do squats for an hour.
Yeah, go ahead and take a picture of that guy.
I have never done more squats in my life than I have done in the last three days.
Really?
It's because of the Oculus?
Yeah, man, they have this program.
Yeah.
So when you're swatting shit away with the bats, they have these triangles that come flying at you.
And if it's too low, you got to squat down.
Oh, you got to squat down.
But you have to stay in the form.
Yeah, right.
Same way.
So it's like if you walked in here, it looked like I'm doing real squats,
but with a stupid thing on my head.
But to me, I'm in, I'm on the.
the Great Wall of China.
That's amazing.
It's great.
Did I tell you my squad fail story?
No, squad fail story.
Fall?
No.
Luckily, I had the trainer right there to do the jaws of life.
You have trainer now, too?
So the video, I've had a trainer for a while, yeah.
Wow.
When you live here for a certain amount of time, it's just, you just get prescribed one.
What, yeah.
So I, I did, the success story I had, I posted on Instagram because it was one rep at
225, and it happened to be the morning that Smets was going into surgery.
Oh, yes.
And I knew he was going to surgery.
So I wore the show.
shirt just to, and it was for him, but it was also like, dude, I didn't get a lot of sleep last night.
It's 6.30 when I'm driving to the gym. I need something. Yeah. Because I still have competitive
mark that I can tap into occasionally. He doesn't show up every day. No. I wanted it to be something.
So I get down there for the one rep and I get it up and I'm very happy, particularly because the week
before, my, I'd never been to 220. And so I was feeling pretty good at 215. Yeah. Put on 217,
felt pretty good at that. And I told my train, I'm like, hey, let's just go for it. And I thought I set my
camera up. My, my memory was full.
And so I hit play, but it didn't record.
Okay.
Kind of thank God.
Yeah.
Because I wouldn't have been able to not post it because it's so funny.
So I get up there under 220 and again, trainers like right behind.
And I go down for one and I come back up and I'm feeling good.
I'm like, oh, this is good.
Yeah.
We're going in for another one.
We're going down.
And I go down and we should have come up with a safety word.
We should, we could have come up with something cool.
I just gave out on you?
Should it?
They didn't give out, but I just was not getting back up by myself.
Yeah.
I got down to parallel and I might have gotten a little below parallel,
and that's where you get into trouble if you're doing max reps.
So if we had workshopped like a cool sounding,
if I got down there, I was like, tango, tango.
Like that would have sounded cool, like whiskey, box trucks.
My safety word was, help, help.
Did you say help?
Three times.
220, man.
It's a lot.
So Tyler is behind me and he just like, he gets some of the way.
He still lets you lift as much as you can.
Yeah.
But he's pushing it up there, too.
And so without that burst,
e.
Oh, man, we should have no camera for sure.
I was just to hear the hell.
I would have posted it.
I would have posted it.
It's the ecstasy and the agony.
I know, I know, I know.
And within 15 seconds.
But I have, you were talking about the hitman's,
the hitman's wife's bodyguard.
Yeah.
You saw, I, that's, I, someone made it very clear, you know,
I also tying it back into Fast and Furious last week,
a couple of people that were listening, we said that we didn't know if they were streaming any of these movies, right?
And they said, well, the peacock streams these movies.
It was like, you and I were talking about specifically, like, at the same day of, like, release in the theater.
So when FD.S. 9 comes out, would, Peacock's not going to stream that at the same time.
I wish that they would.
Right.
This is the way that HBO Max is doing it and the way that Disney Plus does it with premium, right?
And so that's what Disney did with Luca.
Mm-hmm. So I, or Luca, it either came out or it's coming out on Friday, where I don't know, I got sent the link.
No, it's available.
It's available now.
It's pretty much.
So I got the, I got the, or as of today.
Okay.
Well, I got the screener for it.
And I watched it with my daughter.
It is, it's, so you got Luca.
Yeah.
Who's land-based.
No, he's not.
Then he got Alberto.
They're both sea-based.
They're both fish people.
So, well, they're sea monsters.
And.
Yeah, but I bet by the end of the movie, they're just fish monsters.
Well, not really.
They're called sea people.
Okay.
They're called sea monsters.
Yeah.
Please don't.
SMs.
It's 2021.
Call them sea monsters.
It sounds like a negative term.
It sounds like a term that we're going to name a franchise after.
And then 10 years down the road, we're going to have to just call them the ocean team.
It's the Disney fish people.
Yeah.
I don't.
It's, so, Luca is, you know, he's swimming around.
You know, she's got friends that are fish and, you know, and his parents are very protective over him.
Yeah.
So he winds up.
meeting this kid, Alberto, and it was also turns out to be a, you know, a sea monster.
And then he goes, check this out.
And goes out onto the beach.
And he turns into a human.
And so the kid freaks out.
He's like, what the hell?
He goes out there and he turns into a human.
So sea monsters get into the land, they can become human.
But they fly, you know, they go into the water and they go back.
But this, they wind up going into this town that obviously has had these sightings of these
sea monsters that they've seen.
and the town is scared of it.
And it takes place in Italy,
and there's this one jerky Italian.
It's really, really good.
That jerky Italian guy,
and you got some racing in there,
and they meet this girl,
and it's a story of friendship.
It's a story of...
How much do I call me about your name is it?
It's just not too far off.
It's a little different.
No cannibalism.
I'm just kidding.
But...
Army hammer.
Oh, no, I get it.
To me.
But Luca,
I made an Army Hammer Cannibal joke in the Schmowdown this year.
You did.
You certainly did.
But what I really enjoyed-
I knew he was eating people five years ago.
You could tell.
The Lone Ranger tipped me off.
Yeah, I wish somebody would eat my face off during that movie.
That's a stare at that movie.
What a, that whole movie.
Anyway, what I really like this movie, Luca, the difference is,
it's very different than the other Pixar movies, right?
It doesn't have like that same Pixar magic that the other ones have.
And there are certain Pixar movies that I'm like,
I don't know if my three and a half year old is ready for, right?
This one, no problem.
Oh, good.
No problem.
This is,
this almost seemed like she watches this show like the bubble guppies and the shimmer and shine and all that stuff.
And I was like,
I almost feel like this show could be on like Paramount Plus as one of those shows, right?
It's like, it's sweet.
It's a sweet movie.
There's no doubt about it.
But there's nothing like, you know, sometimes you're,
well, man, that's a little heavy even for like a Pixar movie.
Or when you're watching it, like even.
Toy Story 3 when they have that moment.
Toy Story 3.
Really a lot of that.
It's pretty, it doesn't take away from it, but it's pretty, it's pretty, you know,
surface-based, you know.
Good.
Yeah, it is.
And that's cool.
Because attention to Disney and Pixar, not every animated movie you make has to murder a crucial
family member in the first five minutes.
No, it's true.
Like, you don't have to do that.
What I will say, though, is I got the overall idea and what the movie was really supposed to be about, right?
So I wanted to ask my daughter to see if she picked it up, and she got it like immediately,
and that's the message of acceptance and not treating people because they're different.
And, you know, and really reading into what the overall tones were and that people are different,
and there are things that you can do to understand people better.
And that part of it really thought it hit the mind.
It would be so cool if I could turn into a fish.
Right.
What the hell is this?
They don't be able to breathe you, idiot.
There's no water here.
Just flopping around.
But they did.
You're talking about acceptance.
I'm like water.
They would throw water in the fish's face.
And they would turn into the fish.
It's dangerous.
It's like splash.
If you are masquerading as a human boy, but you're actually a sea monster,
it's dangerous being up here.
Because you never know, don't get around theme parks.
Avoid those at all costs.
You definitely get it.
You can't do a lot of that stuff.
You probably don't want to exercise.
I don't know if sweat.
I don't want to live in Southern California.
And you can't live in Seattle.
No, no, no, no.
You got to get away from a climate like that.
Arizona's probably a good spot.
Arizona's a great spot, except if you're going to sweat.
Probably, well, I don't think the sweat's going to do it, though.
I don't think the sweat does.
I don't think that's part of the rules.
You don't think there's a little bit of peeked blue?
It doesn't seem like it.
Not there.
Not from the rules that I saw the way that they set it up.
How's Jim Gaffin in it and Maya Rudolph?
Those are the two I was.
looking for, and rats and burgers in. I don't know how much he's in.
If he just does his one line and gets out. They're good. I put the parents. The parents were
the funniest part of it. But I always kind of gauge it off my, my oldest one. She watches
it too. And she, she dug it for sure. She really liked Raya. Like, Ryan, I think Rye was Disney.
Ryan the last dragon. But, um, but, and that, that one's a little, like, is more on the tone
of what we were talking about. A little more tugging at the heartstrings. Yeah. I mean,
well, this one definitely, this one tugs into heartstrings for, for a bit because it's, you know,
it's got that. But it's not.
as family murdery. No, it doesn't, it doesn't, it's, it's not as deep. It's not as deep. It's, it's,
it's, it's simple. And that's okay. And it's a good, it's a good, it's a good, and it's
absolutely good for all, for all kids. I swear to every, every Disney board meeting, they have this
nice collective and they're pitching new ideas. And every time they pitch this sweet story,
there's this one guy, like the smoking guy in the ex-biles, just like, who dies.
Who we get a kill. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're like, oh, do we, do we have to? So everything about it is,
great. I only got one note.
What is it? Kill his mother.
What? It's, that's
well, I guess it might be a nice cathartic
climax first five minutes.
Right. Murder the, murder the deer in the
opening scene of the picture.
Let's, you know, can we have something
fall on her and it's over? They're in a grocery
store, getting, they're making dinner.
Have a choke on the bread.
Originally, we had thumper getting run over by
a Chevy. Didn't test
one. That's true. See this, designer
here? That hat was
originally supposed to be thumpers.
The hunter turned them into a hat.
If they did all those audience test screenings back in the day,
Bambi's mom would still be here.
Yeah, probably.
You know, there's no way.
There's no way.
It's the way that they do,
what was the last time you saw Bambi?
I don't know.
I've ever seen it start to finish.
You've never seen Bambi start to finish?
Why would I?
I know what happens at the beginning.
I don't want to sit through that.
Certainly don't have children.
I'll tell you that.
I've seen it.
No, I don't.
Many, many times.
Proof positive, Mari.
What's the other thing?
Oh, the,
I talked about this on S-E-N yesterday.
So I watched pump up the volume.
I'm talking about this,
and raving about this.
Unavailable on streaming services that we know of.
This is what we talked about.
You and I talked about this.
So after that,
someone sent me from the comment sent me,
it's on YouTube.
But you've got to watch it.
I mean,
if you just put it up on YouTube,
it'll just keep playing all the way through.
The reason why,
and I read it through,
because I watched the whole movie,
and then I read it.
The reason why it's not streaming?
Yeah.
You want to guess?
I'm willing to bet it's because that soundtrack was very big.
Soundtrack was bigger than the movie when it came out.
Yeah, it was.
And so I bet it's like there's some sort of licensing thing from the music and the music.
Is it a particular song or particular band?
There's a bunch of them.
So I read an interview with Christian Slater after I watched the movie because I was so curious about it.
Because I typed in Pump Up the Volume sequel.
Yeah.
Because I was so curious.
Yeah.
You could do it.
So he had said.
that it was a licensing, but what he also said was that it was his favorite role to this day that he's ever played.
Better than Cuffs?
I won't hear of it.
He said everything.
He said, it was his favorite movie he's ever played.
That movie, and he said this too, it was ahead of its time, and it was.
It was the first podcast movie.
Yeah.
It was.
It was this kid who is, he gets the radio, and he goes, and he just goes on the air, and starts talking about what's going on at school,
and people start catching on to it, and he becomes like this figure.
but at the time, you know, that there are no podcasting.
It was just he would get out and be on the air and then the FCC busts him for it, right?
But there's no, the FCC can't monitor this shit, you know, and it's like, so they,
but he does, he basically creates this whole thing.
People are wondering who he is, happy Harry Hardin.
Do you remember the movie pretty well?
It's pretty well.
Do you remember his catchphrase?
The main one?
Oh, damn it.
It's his last line of the movie also.
And it absolutely.
No, it's not, it's, it's, uh, let's get there.
Five.
Talk hard?
Yes.
Talk hard.
Yeah.
I always, because I had it in my head and I was like, no, wait, that's the Dewey Cox movie.
No, no, it is.
No, that's a walk hard.
Talk hard should be the sequel to the movie.
That should be the sequel.
Should we call Talk Hard.
Okay.
And anyway, like, you could think, I was thinking about this.
I'm like, what if, because he, Christian Seater said he would love to do a sequel and wants to do a sequel.
There's got to be multiple people just like you that, that wanted to see that.
and have gotten a treatment in front of him.
But with streaming, like 15 years ago,
if someone pitches a pump up the volume sequel,
you go, who the hell is going to pay to see that?
But with streaming and Amazon and all that,
it's like, yeah, make a pump up the volume sequel.
Because imagine now, his name is Mark Hunter,
the character's name.
And he's been whatever, maybe he stepped after he got himself fined
and wind up doing whatever he was going to do
and went to college, got out of you,
became an activist, whatever the hell he was going to do, right?
And then he's never been on the radio kind of since.
That's one side of it.
And he comes back and he gets involved,
and he's, whether it's podcasting or whatever it is,
with maybe some of this new kid, younger kid,
who is able to get a message out there that has that has that voice,
but is shy like he was in high school.
And it's almost like they're doing a show together
and they bring out a big message or whatever it is to
and through this podcast, start gaining all this popular.
But rub people the wrong way,
the way that Mark Hunter has been known to do it.
There's ways to do it.
It was such, it feels like when pump up the volume came out,
It wasn't radio in general wasn't as politically divisive as it can be now,
especially with podcasts where there's such an angle to most things,
especially things that are worthy of having movies made.
God, I love our career.
We ain't getting a biopic, you know, which is partially good.
We haven't done anything too stupid.
But it could work.
I would have him as like a professor of radio or communications or something like that.
at some small college, kind of like, what's his face is character from, Mayor of East Town.
He just goes into the small town, and it's just, he kind of ran in, eh, I had a thing.
And I don't know if anybody remembers him from that.
But he, and then he's teaching kids, and he just sees this one or two or three enterprising young minds.
They want a podcast, and he's just kind of like their Mick to their Rocky.
And they're sort of, and they want him, they want him to get involved with it, too.
He's like, no, I can't, you guys should do the thing.
My message was always put your voice out there, because that's his last, his last message.
You're probably yelling at him.
It's like it's Goodwill hunting because when when Damon is yelling at Robin Williams for, oh, well, you played a hand and it didn't work out, then he just quit.
Because at the end of the movie, they both learned something about themselves.
That was it.
Look at that.
And because his last message to when he's riding in on the Jeep with Samantha Mathis is let your voice be heard.
Get on the air.
Do your thing.
And it's because that's why I called it like the first really podcast movie.
Because when it's closing out, you hear all the kids talking.
And they're like, hey, this is so and so.
I don't know anybody's listening.
I'm talking about this and they're naming all their shows.
I'm like, that's like today.
If you turn on it, everybody's got a podcast.
Yeah, and nobody's heard of anybody else's podcast.
It's like, oh, I listen to this and this and this.
And is that a show?
Right.
I know what that is.
Right.
And so if you do that and you have them, these kids that are doing this and then
they bring him in and then here he goes again.
He gets involved again, but this time, it's like, it's like that generation,
him and happy Harry Hard on his back, you know, and kind of cause.
I don't know what it would be, but it would be interesting to see that happen.
I would love to see it on, like, Amazon Prime or something.
Yeah, maybe it's a series.
Maybe it's a series.
Maybe it's a series.
Yeah.
Have Mark Hunter come back.
But Christian Slater's just, he's just one of those guys.
He's got it, dude.
Like, you watch it always.
He is.
I'm going to say something.
It's so bold, but I think you're going to get it.
Go ahead.
Christian Slater is the closest thing we've gotten to Jack Nicholson since Jack Nicholson.
I think that's, but that's been going.
That comparison.
Did I not start that?
No.
That comparison's been happening for a very long time.
because he even talks like this.
It's more than just he's not doing an impression of Jack Nicholson,
which is why there's magic there.
It's because he's not doing an impression of Jack,
but he still reminds you kind of of Jack with the mannerisms,
even though he's not trying to mimic anything he's doing,
but it's also a charisma thing.
He just got that,
he just want to be closer to him.
You walk into a room and you see Jack and anybody else.
If I went into a room in their heyday and I see Nicholson and Warren Beatty,
it's great to see both, you gentlemen.
I'm just going, I want to hear Jack story.
He's got that chemistry.
Same thing with Christians.
I walk into a room with Christians.
Slater and anybody else from that kind of era when there was big not named Emilio Estavis.
There's obviously reasons I need to go talk to Amelio.
But Christian Slater, hey, he was also in a young gun.
He was.
And he had that thing for sure.
Even watching the way he delivers certain lines in that movie, it's one of my favorites.
He's talking.
It was really great to revisit this film, by the way.
And these girls, like, Harry would take these letters and they'd read off a story,
and if you put a phone number, he would call you back.
So there's one that send like this kind of disturbing story and he calls him up and there was just like these two teen girls who made this story up, right?
So he then says, is this even true?
And he goes, remember my dear, I can smell a lie like a fart in a car?
Oh, that's good.
And it's like so good the way he does it.
Very hard off one.
It was amazing the way he did it.
And I'm like the whole way through and just certain things that he does.
And the way that he's able to maneuver to it's an underrated performance because he plays this kid and it was such a real performance.
that people who are shy and kind of introverted,
but have all this stuff to give
and so much to give and so much thought
that when you get to that microphone.
Because he never talks in class.
He doesn't talk to anybody.
He's so shy with...
Kind of like Clark Kent.
He is.
He had the glasses on.
He just kind of like kept his head down, did his work.
Yeah.
And then when he's by himself
and he's able to talk, you know, the way that he is
and be free, he becomes like this like massive personality.
And, you know, the,
music that he's playing. And that was the other thing that he did that was so great was he's playing
hardcore rap and all this, all this music. And he's playing Leonard Cohen and, and do it. And it's like,
it was, it was such a, it's an underrated film. It really is. Parents could have put a little more
effort into it into raising your kid. Well, they, they didn't know. Well, they also, they thought he was
built model trains down there because he always just throws the tarp over it when his parents are
going to come in the basement. Because they, they think he's beating off down there, day and night.
And he, and he pretends that he is. Remember he's doing this thing? Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I got to see that movie again.
You got to watch it.
You know, watch it on it.
So thank you, by the way, to the listener who sent the clips because I watched the whole thing after they sent it.
I watched the entire thing.
It's really, really good and exciting.
But you finally watch Loki, by the way, you're telling me.
I watched the first episode, yeah.
I still have not caught as of now, the second episode.
Yeah, I got to watch it.
I like the effort.
Okay, what's that mean?
I'm not sure that I'm a fan of an agency.
Okay, being aware of everything that we just went through emotionally in the entire MCU.
Okay.
That they know what your plan is the whole time.
Right.
Because basically what you're looking at is the heads of the MCU is who these time caught people really are.
Right.
Because you got to stay in line.
They decide what's able to, because my big question in that first episode,
and this is obviously a spoiler for the first episode.
We haven't seen the second one.
But my big question that started, but they answered it was, well, wait a minute.
They're arresting Loki for doing this.
Why didn't they arrest the Avengers for messing with time?
Or Thanos.
Or Thanos, wherever, you know.
Well, no, but the Avengers are the ones who messed with time at first.
Thanos didn't mess with time at first.
Like, he had the time stone a little bit of messes.
Sure, but I'm saying that they all have abused the power with these stones.
Absolutely.
And I get that that fits within their particular path.
Right.
That's not what I'm debating.
No, no, but I was at first because I'm saying like, well, wait a minute.
Their particular path was like, Thanos won.
And you jumped, you jumped in and you changed.
changed everything up.
Then I was like, how come they didn't get screwed?
And then Loki goes, how come the Avengers?
They screwed with time.
Like, well, that was supposed to happen.
Like, okay.
Right.
They all just say it was supposed to happen, which again, which I'm fine.
And I understand what the premise is.
I just, like I compare it to, it felt a lot like Cabin in the Woods, which is a
movie I love because we're really rooting for these teens or these morons in the woods
because there's bad stuff happening.
And then we sort of realized that the whole time these engineers are putting this stuff
in there as sort of like a fun.
betting game for them. And so then that becomes so much more interesting than the actual events in the
cabin in the woods because we know this is just like a fun game for them. Yeah. Well, and so now I'm
more focused on what's going on with them. And so now I'm thinking, well, it just, it, to me,
it took a lot of the weight out of the, and maybe I'll change my tone. I probably will. Yeah.
Because I've only seen one episode. But just initially, it felt like it took a lot of the weight
and the emotional context out of what I just went through in the MCU because there's these,
this agency that was like God that just knew everything that was going to happen the whole time.
And so it's like, oh, well, okay, that just, I know, I know who I am in terms of the universe and
the galaxy.
I know I'm not even a tiny little speck and nothing that I do actually matters.
But in my everyday life, I don't constantly have that thought in my forehead.
It's just way back here.
And watching this show, it just crammed that right into the frontal lobe, like, hey, we already
know everything is going to happen.
and nothing really matters all that much.
That's a big,
but I think that's,
that's what I like about this show.
It's a little high when I watched.
It's,
I understood,
like with fate and understanding and destiny and all of that.
But what I really liked about this show,
the first episode,
is that it dove even deeper into Loki and what makes Loki.
Never going to complain about seeing him.
And I thought him and Owen Wilson had a great dynamic.
That was about as,
that buddy cop feel.
Yeah.
Was fantastic.
Yeah.
And I thought like that's,
that was why I was on board.
for it and, you know, me, time travel and parallel universes and all that stuff, I was just like,
okay, thank you. That's, let's give me more and more and more. Sure. And that, but most time travel
movies. Yeah. Even the, the agency, the T.C. and Time Cop, it doesn't just put on a, it doesn't
put right there in the forefront that they know everything that's going to happen and everything
it's supposed to happen. Right. In Time Cop, they just know, hey, wait a minute. In the 1800s,
there's a shipment of gold and now it didn't happen, so we need to go back and fix it. Right. It's like this,
just feels like now I just feel like I'm on a treadmill every time I go see an MCU movie
where I just, this is the path I walk because it's already been predetermined.
I think that they're setting up the Eternals.
Sure.
I know it.
And I haven't seen the Winter Soldier and the Falcon show.
And I haven't seen Wanda Vision.
Oh, wow.
So I'm pretty far behind.
That doesn't play in as much any of those shows, at least so far.
But from what I would assume is that this plays into the Eternals.
My approach is very Han Solo in A new Hope.
with this where there's no magical force control in my destiny.
I know, I get it.
So I will be one over.
Well, you want to do control your destiny, Mark,
because I know you've been doing a lot of flying lately again,
and that's fantastic.
I am happy that you're doing it, and you can't do that.
You can't be on with, look at this.
Now I had to switch things up, but clear.
I am a member of Clear.
Are you?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, let's see, look, so Mark can talk about this also,
because if you're itching to get back to what you love,
like me and Mark has been doing.
doing it already, and Mark's already part of Clear. Listen to this. You got to make sure that the next
time you head to the airport, your experience is going to be fast, it's going to be safe, and it's
going to be easy as possible. And that's why I'm pumped up to talk to you about Clear. Clear is easy.
It is fast. It is effortless. Clear is a secure identity platform that creates frictionless journeys
at airports and beyond. You've got to move faster through airport security and feel confident

After a quick one-time enrollment with your government-issued ID,
you can use just your face or your eyes for safer, touchless entry at airports,
stadiums, and more.
Create your account online before going to the airport.
Once you get there, a friendly ambassador helps you finish the process,
and you can use Clear immediately.
You've got to join over the 5.5 million people who are already using Clear,
and once you become a member, you can use Clear for a faster,
touchless, seamless entry across Clear's network at airports, stadiums,
arenas, concert spaces, offices, restaurants, and a lot more.
Clear members can add up to three friends or family members to their account for a discounted

that much. Clear is absolutely the best way to help you get back to what you love. They have locations
in over 35 airports across the country, making it safer, easier, and faster to reunite with
loved ones or take that much needed vacation.
It works great with pre-check too.

One more time. Clearme.com slash S-E-N-Live. Code S-E-N-Live. Use it a lot.
Very nice of them to name the website after me.
Clear Mark Ellis, but I mean, they went clear me, but we know what the initials are.
That's what they were doing because you frequently use it. It's phenomenal. It's really way more convenient.
It's in a ton of airports, especially the bigger hubs. You go to L-A-X. You definitely want to be clear.
Yeah, and do it. And use the code and you get two months free.
I mean, especially right now when everybody's traveling. How many times have you traveled since?
You're going to Seattle again, right?
Going to Seattle, July 24th.
Okay.
It's the big show there.
You can get tickets at Mark Ellis.
Dot Live.
Yeah, do you change it up?
I did.
Why did you do that?
Because the old one's bunny porn now.
What is it?
I don't know.
The pandemic, I got nothing to, I got no shows coming up.
I don't you just sell anything on the website.
So why don't it just hold it?
You know it was coming back.
Maybe I just didn't see the email in the mirate emails that I get.
Or it's like, hey, your, your handle's about to expire.
And they got rid of it.
Yeah.
So now you go to Markkelslive.com.
It's just like weird rabbit sex.
Oh, no.
Like, I don't know if it's furries.
I don't know what the particular...
Is that really true?
I'm not going to tell people to go there.
Because I don't know what your Facebook ad is going to look like once you go there.
But I'm just telling you, I've gotten screenshots from people.
Yeah.
And you see it, it's like, well, that is obviously not my content.
Oh, my God.
So, and I actually figured this is easier anyway because Mark Ellis.
So Mark Ellis.
That lives where you can go to get tickets and stuff like that.
Sells the brand.
Sells the brand.
Yeah.
I offered you a trip.
You certainly did.
You know, not yet, but definitely going to happen.
I think that New York is something that we're definitely going to do together.
As far as joke telling?
Yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
And then we'll do some movie trivia there.
Who knows?
We'll feel frisci.
I think we're pretty close to doing that also.
But I think December 4th, spectacular, which is something that we're also pretty pumped about.
Is it going to be in the home office here in Cincinnati?
No, it's going to be downtown, L.A. in the globe, December 4th.
Yeah, yeah.
So that'll be.
That was a fun.
You want to do the same thing we did the last time?
Yeah, we're going to be in the...
We're up.
You're a Swaldorf and Sattler.
Away from the competitors that are going to charge us.
If we make a ruling, they don't appreciate it.
We've never done a match there together, like an actual match.
We just in the free fraud.
So that'll be fun to do and to do.
And you'll be able to relax up there, like, take a little bit of...
Because we're going to have to take, you know, there's going to be five matches.
You take a break.
Be honest.
There's going to be a big bucket of what I can pee into, and nobody's going to be able to see it
because I'm above everybody.
Well, no one will see.
Just pee off the side of the thing and see, you know,
just don't pee on any fish boys.
No, you know, you don't expose anybody as sea monsters.
Be nice.
Sea monsters.
I think fish boys just as.
Fish boy?
It's a little derog.
Hey, it might be a little derog.
Hey, fish boy.
Come me.
Yeah, I just say it like that.
Yeah.
Don't get your mouth caught on the hook, fish boy.
Alberto is a sea monster children.
It's a sea monster.
Yeah.
Did you, what are you, you were you even watching lately?
The NBA playoffs.
That's what I figured.
Yeah, because the U.S. Open started yesterday.
That was fun.
Do you ever go and be honest?
Oh.
Yeah, go ahead.
No, what are you going to ask?
I was going to say, because for people who don't know,
Mark is very generous and he lets it.
And I don't have an account to HBO Max.
I use his.
And I have an account on his account.
Yeah.
It's not title Christian Harlop.
It is not.
It is not.
It caused me much consternation when I looked at it at first.
I was like, who the hell was this person?
You just freeloading.
And then I took a closer look at the handle.
I'm like, I know exactly who that first.
That's why I did that.
When I did that,
because that was exactly why.
Because I was like, he'll figure it out once he sees the name.
And nobody else will.
And nobody else will.
Nobody else will know it.
No, because the way that I did it particularly.
But anyway, the movies are phenomenal.
I wonder if you ever go and look at that account to see what I had been looking at.
Because if you did, all you would see is an eclectic mix of 80s movies.
I'm sure.
We just watched the other day, and I think we talked about it on goofball the other day.
We just watched about last night with, I actually know, you know, that's not true.
It was on showtime.
But about last night.
So you don't know this movie?
I know the title.
So let's see if you can guess.
Let's see if I'll give you the year that it came out.
And with that information, you have to guess the lead, the romantic leads.
Molly Ringwald.
Nope.
So the movie came out in 1986.
Okay.
You're thinking about who the big stars were in 1986.
Okay.
You want me tell you what the story is about?
Then you can cast it?
Five to six years old, Christian.
Yeah.
All right.
So the movie's been in cataloged for 30 plus years.
That's not an excuse.
So, all right.
The movie is about these.
It was based of a David Mamet play called Sexual Diversity in Chicago.
Okay.
So it's got a...
Oh, that helps.
Yeah, I know.
It's got this younger guy who's working at this,
he works for this chain that they sell like,
they sell restaurants, supplies to places,
and he's got his obnoxious best friend.
And all they're talking about is,
all the best friend talks about is women and how to sleep with
women and do all this and and he and they're playing they're playing baseball they meet this girl
uh and he at the bar they wind up having this relationship and it turns into something pretty
serious and then it's like the indy carthy nope you're you're not too far off you're you're in you're in

I'm looking for a 22-year-old guy.
I'm looking for a 22-year-old woman at the time.
And I'm looking for the best friend.
The best friend at the time was about 33 years old.
And I can say, has a famous last name.
I'll give you that.
Has a famous last name.
I love this game, by the way.
I'm just going to need the answers.
You got nothing of it?
Yeah.
Jim Belushi is the friend.
Perfect.

Okay.
The girl is played by Demi Moore.

He takes her home and like they, you know, he's got an attaching headphones to play
the cassette from.
So she's got headphones on.
He's got headphones on.
He's got headphones on.
He's got headphones on.
It's ridiculous.
It's like, why don't you just unplug it and listen to the music out loud?
So the thing that I did watch, that I did start watching, which I'm in love with now.
There's what?
Mayor.
I hope the answer is Tenet, just because I have to watch Tenet for the Rotten Tomatoes'
This is Wrong Podcast.
Subscribe, follow, do all the podcast stuff.
And so we're talking about Tenet.

Yeah.
Okay.

the Big Thing Show and the Goofball show

the other shows. What else you got? So you're going to, you go to Seattle with Ken?
Kenny's going. And rumor at this point, very, very special schmodeown-centric guest might be in the
crowd enjoying some of the festivities. You got to be Jeremy, right? So, yeah, because he's such
a schmowdown legend. I mean, Johns might go. He was a,
It was number one intergeekdom contenders.
One question away from winning the title.
Almost won the title.
Yeah.
And we were between, we're like, I don't know if Godfather two is going to be as good as the first one.
Let's see.
So who in Seattle?
Oh, is it a current player?
I'm not saying yes or no to this, but current player.
I'm just saying.
Yeah, can I can guess though?
Roblo.
Roblo is the answer.
Roblo and Demi Moore will be in the crowd.
Is it a current player?
No, I just, I'm not telling you yes or no.
You're not a nice person.
No, I'm just, this is what you call with T's.
See, this is how I do a tease, and then I withhold the information that I said I was going to withhold.
Here's how Christian does it tease.
All right, all right.
I got a big plan for season nine.
All right, I'm not going to tell you.
I can't tell you that yet.
All right.
Ask me some questions.
And then I can yes to know.
And then at the end of the day, it's like, yeah, by the way, Ellis is being replaced with Hulk Hogan as an announcer for season nine.
Speaking of which, I did.
Did that happen?
No, not that part.
But I did, I did announce on SCN live yesterday that there are going to be some massive changes to season nine.
I'm sure I'll be made abreast at some point.
you will. I can't. I'm very excited for them.
I'm very excited. One of those changes is not
Mark doing whatever scene you wanted me to do last week.
No, you got to, you, you want to do scenes. Come on.
Not what you would offer to me today.
Oh, you're talking about the, the, oh yeah, that was.
Not a thousand years.
That was, so we had, so our good, our good friends over, it was for the nobody thing, right?
Yeah. That is going to be fun. You know who I'm sending to do that?
Sure. Do you know what I'm sending to do that?
Who? The cast is actually a lot better to that now.
So nobody, that movie
Did you ever see that movie?
I still have not seen nobody, no.
I saw that movie.
I need to do it.
I think I'd really like it.
It's brutal, by the way.
And I don't mean like brutal to watch,
but I mean,
like a robocop.
Violence-wise.
Like, it's really, it's graphic.
Good?
Like it was,
so much so my wife couldn't even watch it.
She was, she bailed on it.
Okay.
It was too graphic.
I liked it a lot.
Well, there's a fine line between your wife bailing on it and me bailing on it.
No, and because she,
She might bail on it, but realize that, oh, this is, there's an audience for this.
Oh, yeah.
Of which is my husband.
She just can't take the show.
As opposed to her bailing on it being like, hey, you need to turn this, this crap off.
No, no, no, no.
She was just like, she was, she was.
She was out, but you were able to finish.
I watched the whole thing.
For sure.
And, um, but they, this, they had the stunts and, and they had, they did that at the time.
There was a screening for it where it was like a drive-through and they offered us to go.
And you could see, like, the stunt people fighting and everything.
So they offered us for the home release to do, like, a scene with the stunt people,
and fight these some people.
Right.
into the schmodown and i thought it would be funny with you and guy or you and somebody else mark was
like no i don't blame you um i don't think it works for the schmodown at all you can i what the scene in
general or you to have the guy who asked the questions to fight with somebody eating the crap out of people
