Perfect. There we go. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Here we go. Rock and body Engineering talent

of Christian Harlaw is unmatched and modern era I want you to guess I can help but love her she's the salt of the girl now I wasn't expecting a full-fledged passion or salt All right so I just heard something

Now was that You need to hear it again You can hear it again but was that Does this all put on that Oh you didn't hear it I can kind of hear it I can hear it here. Let's, I'll give you a shot.

Didn't realize it's going to be a quiz. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Here, because I have to tell you. Here we go. Rocking body. Pretty face. And the dude, baby,

attend the sand and grace. It's troubling. Okay. So was that? A. Josh Robert Thompson. Josh Robert Thompson? Yes.

B. Me? Josh Robert Thompson. C. Arnold or D. Will Saso? That was Josh Robert Thompson. Is incorrect.

Really? Yeah. That's Saso? That's incorrect. That's you? That's incorrect. That's actually Arnold. It's actually Arnold.

Nobody gets it right. And it's hilarious. It's from that movie Killing Gunther. This has been an ongoing bit for the last week on this show. Taryn Killam directed. Yes. And apparently, because I got sent this from a fan,

and I thought it was like him just doing karaoke years ago. Right. And I was like, this is amazing. And then it turned out that it's actually him from this movie. But the other thing I found, and I can't see anything anymore, but I found something else I don't want to see if you can guess

what this is from. Where the hell is it? This is all we do. I just come over and I'm free when I'm in the neighborhood and Christian just bothers you. I just play stuff. Here's another one.

Put this on because I want to see if you know what this is. I want to see if you can guess this one. This one I have not played. This is the first time playing this. Ooh. There we go. It's a long intro.

I feel like I'm in a vacation movie. You know, every time I'm about to rush to your defense when your family, family is like, you don't really work all day, Christian. I'm like, no, the guy really bust his ass. I come in here and you play stuff like that and I just want to go tell Sadie, hey, you need to get him back in the house.

Yeah. He's lost in his own devices out there in his little mad scientist lab. So nothing? What is it? Who do you got? Who do you think? I have no idea. It's Stallone.

Is it really? It's still from Rhinestone. From Rhinestone. Okay. There's two songs. There's two songs that, oh, there's a couple of them, but there's two of note. And that, and there's, Budwiser.

It's like a bad Joe Cocker. Never seen it. I just remember always seeing the video jacket for Rhinestone. And like, you know, I'm a kid. I want to see a cool action movie. I'm like, I've seen the Rambo's. I've seen Demolition Man. What's another cool Stallone movie?

Ryan Stone. Nah, it does. Something looked all. I was like, no, I don't think this is. How about stop or my mom will shoot? Never saw it. But I do love that. You know that story behind that, right?

Yes, because Schwarzenegger had done. a comedy, right? And so he was trying to one-up Arnold. Kind of. So they were, this was in the height of their feud when they were going back. Right. Now they're good friends. Oh, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah. You told me, somebody told him or his people. Arnold made, Arnold let him know that like, hey, let let him think that I'm up for the part. Tell him, I'm going to do it. Yeah. Tell him, and I had no, I had no intention of doing this. Yeah. That's so good. And then he made, and he had him do it. And then it just was a total. If I put you in a theater right now. Yeah.

Um, and like, I'm, I'm just going to let you go to the movies and you can see any new film with either Stallone in his prime or Arnold in his prime. Are you going into the Arnold theater? What do you mean? So like one of their old movies? No, no. No, no. It's a new movie, but it's like them from the 80, like, you know. Apex Arnold has this new mystery movie that never came out. So basically like like when Tupac comes out with a tape every, every year. Yeah. Like if there was, if there was one that came out like whether it was. Just pretend like the studio. 87 Arnold or like 85 Stallone. Yeah. Man, that's tough. I love Slive it. I got to go.

I'm probably going Arnie because Arnene because Stallone had what I mean, look, his franchise movies when they came out were fantastic, but he relied on the franchise movies. Those are the big ones that. And then you would get Clifhanger like earlier in the 90s and things too. But Arny was coming out with Commando and Total Recall and Terminator and Predator. I mean, imagine if that's the movie. I think that, because Arnold didn't start going downhill, his movies until like 96, 95, 96.

It was a very slow kind of tapering off where it was because like True Lives was such a massive hit. And then the next year he had a racer, which was like a big hit. And then he had like the sixth day, I think. And then maybe like you start to see like a little bit of diminishing returns at the box office. Even a racer wasn't that good though. It wasn't that good. But it still made a lot of. money. Yeah, he was still like, oh, he still got it. Yeah, right, right. I think true eyes,

and not just him. True eyes did a lot for a lot of careers. Tom Arnold got like nine movies because he is just that great. He's really good in that movie. Stallone, Stallone was actually hurting what people don't realize has how bad he was hurt after Rocky Five. I mean, and stop a mom shoot, but Rocky Five was, and he said it. He was, he was in a very cocky, arrogant place when he made that movie and his decisions. And that's what I love about Stallone. unlike a lot of like executives and stuff too who just can't admit like when you look at all this stuff recently that vanity fair article with like kathleen kennedy when she talked about blaming alden aran rike for solo's failure right um oh i didn't see i didn't see any of that but

pretty much just threw the kid under the bus and i don't think he was the best solo but he certainly wasn't the whole the whole retail it was a good performance just wasn't i thought he's i mean he's great in the movie right you know and he's good enough to be like a young hon solo but that's also, I think that's more on the viewer than anybody else. It's like, hey, if you want to come into this movie, spoiler alert, Harrison Ford is not young anymore. So if you want to like this movie, you're going to have to Jedi mind trick yourself into thinking that this is young Han Solo. And if you do that, I think you have a great time. I think so. I think if you, I see that, but, but I also think that it's not that easy because there are, you want to have some mannerism.

Yeah, there are just certain things about the character and a lot of people responded to it. I, I just, I think he did a great job. I just don't think he was. Hans Solo. I think he did great job playing some other character, which is fine. But the point is Stallone took the, took the, yeah, I shouldn't have done a lot of things I did in Rocky 5. Bad, decision. Yeah, he's very open about it. He is. And he's, and that's why I think he's kind of had a resurgence. That new show he's got coming out with him as a gangster in on parent, I think it's Paramount Plus, which Paramount Plus right now, killing it. Yeah, and imagine if they, if they, if they had the ball in their court to release Top Gun Maverick during the height of the pandemic, which they

absolutely could have if Tom Cruise had okayed it. They would have made a killing on that movie. I'm so glad they didn't do that. Yeah. I know because the movie's so great to see on the big screen. But imagine, because you and me, like the way that we feel about Top Gun, man, I think the way a lot of people are going to feel about Top Gun Maverick is you're not just paying 30 bucks to watch that movie once.

No, you're going to watch it a bunch of times. That's why, but that's why they get the best of both worlds now because all the stuff Taylor Sheridan is doing with Yellowstone and all the spin-offs with that and everything else that Star Trek show, they're starting to do a lot. And now when they put that movie out on streaming after it comes out in the theater, I'm watching it 100%. And this offer show, this is the one on the Rotten Tomato, what Rotten Tomatoes is wrong.

That if you guys ever cover it, that's, I'm Rottenma. The offer and is Miles Teller and it's about the making of the Godfather. Miles Teller, Dan Fogler, Matthew Good. Your boy, Dan Fogler. So Dan Fogler, and you know, I've, I've interviewed him. I know. He won you over.

And he 100% he did. he's like he's I liked him in fantastic peace and a lot of other things that he's done. That was I think take me home tonight was the one from years ago. But like, but he actually liked him in that. I got to go back and watch a review. I think that that might have been another one where you're like, we should never let Ellison McCougal watch a movie together. Maybe.

But this is, but he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's probably, he's one of the best in the whole show. I'm very intrigued by the show. Dude, the show is so good. And it's got like 46% on Rotten Tomatoes. To quote Pacino, morons. Wow. All right.

I mean, it is. Fire up an episode. It's so good. People are like, well, it's meandering and it's slow at points. And then there's a lot of different stories going on. Yeah, there's a lot of different stories going on. Making a movie is hard. But do you know the story behind this thing?

No, I don't want to know it until I watch the show. You don't want to know anything about it at all? All right. I don't think I think I speak for a lot of your subscribers. Well, but it's a true story. Great. They can, they can click on the Googling if they want to. But they do, I mean, they play into the fact of how the mob was involved.

in the town like a lot of i do know that yeah first the mob didn't want them to have anything to do with it and the paramount was negotiating with the mob it's crazy story it's a crazy story and the idea of how it got made in the first place how they didn't want pachino at all and the and just in chambers by the way who was like gray's anatomy right actor uh-huh they get him to play brando right and i'm like come on really kills it wow like he the one there's one scene where he's like he's like he's just you just see him as Brando, like dressed up as, as Don Corleone. And you're like, wow. Yeah, because Brando was still relatively young.

Yeah. When he made the movie. Yeah. They aged him up. He was, he was revered, obviously, from what he had done. But he wasn't, he wasn't hot at the time. No. Coppolo was in director's jail.

Different era. Yeah, the story of the godfather where it was. And he's doing it anywhere. I know. Passed him not to do it. I know, I'm sorry. But Paramount was struggling. And they, and they didn't.

And, like, and Bob, Matthew Good. This is someone I wasn't, but this was someone that I wasn't on board with. Was Matthew Good. Remember when we saw Watchman back in the day?

Yes. And I did not like him. No. He is, he plays Bob Evans. Holy crap. He's so good. He's so good.

I love this show, dude. Savie and I are blasted through this time. I can't wait to see it. Don't tell me anything. Okay, but this one part. I didn't tell you about the part. I just told you about the,

you know, in the southeast, there's a chain of restaurants called Bob Evans. Is it really? Yeah, I don't know if the same guy or not. But, But this is also a kudos to you.

You on this channel, very proud of you because you are on the verge of doing something very rare in the world of YouTube and in the world of music. You're about to become an Ozzy Osbourne, a Paul McCartney, where you get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. And you have one of those like 100,000 subscriber things from Schmo's. Oh, right. And you're on the verge. We got to get some more clicks. Yeah. But you're on the verge.

You get another one of those things. Maybe. You could have, but you could be in the Beatles and in wings. We're looking about a year from now. We're at 43,000 right now. I don't know. It took us a while to get the 43 inch most. You keep paying me top dollar to show up.

It's true. Them subs are coming in. Okay, by that some athletic greens with the gum on it. That's what you should get. You needed somewhere to put my gum. I enjoy athletic greens. We got some questions that came in. I heard.

Yeah, a lot of good ones. What did you think about the PGA championship? There are some, there are some ones that are specifically tailored to you that I am going to have no information on. Sal Sciccacali. No way, I said that right. Skoliki. It's like Christopher Skoliki.

I guess so. Who would you want to see join Peacemaker Season 2? I think Deathstroke would be an awesome fit. We need Joe Mangelow back, ASAP. I'll co-sign that one, Sal. Yeah, man. I mean, first of all, we haven't really talked too much about Peacemaker. What a great show that was.

Great show. So much fun. I love programs, stories, where you can tell how much fun they had making it. Yeah. And that's what it seems like is I follow a few of them on the Instagrams. And I got a chance to talk to them when the show was coming out. You just see how enjoyable they find each other.

And the great story about that is, is Chuck on the show. Um, who, uh, Murf, Murf, Murf. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's kind of running the ship. He's in Guardians. He's in Guardians. He found out that James Gunn had cast him in Guardians because they were shooting the intro, that dance sequence that everybody loves.

There's a student in a high school gym and James Gunn pulls him aside and he thinks that he's just going to like look at Daeys and he's like, oh, by the way, I think I think I want you for Guardians 3 and that's how that works. That's awesome. Yeah, well, he's really good in that show. He's really good.

And I'll take death stroke in season too. Yeah, I mean, if they can use that character somehow and I think Joe's got that kind of humor that he can be funny. Yeah, he can make that work. So that would be great to have him in there. I don't care as long as they still, they get our vigilante back, man.

Vigilini is my favorite. Vigilini was Freddie Stroma crushed it. Eagleie's pretty great. The scene in the first episode where, like, you know, Peacemaker and his dad hate each other. Yes. And they're sitting down and they're eating his dad's chilly or whatever.

And they start laughing on different levels about the same thing. And they're having that laugh. And Eagle is just like trying to. You love Eagle. He just, he's laughing with them. That's perfect for you. Oh, it kills me.

Yeah. Eagle is great. So I don't know who else to add. I don't know enough about who could add. I mean, they mentioned Kite Man a bunch of different times. They do. They have some fun with that.

So I don't, I mean, and it would be the problem with, well, would Batman ever show up? Which version at this point? Like, is it Pattinson?

Is it, is it bail? I'm not out on Batman permanently, but I've just. Over it. Just too many of them? We just get gloomier and gloomier. It was,

I liked the last one. I liked it, but it's like we already, in 1966, we had the storyline of this poor kid, watch his parents get murdered. Right. And somehow, for the last 60 years, it's gotten even darker and even darker. And it's like at some point, can we just, can, can, can somebody slip on a banana peel? Well, I mean, watch that, watch Batman and Robin. You'll get that. Okay. That is, I mean, that's, that's the other end of that. That's, that's, that's a middle ground. money. Well, yeah, and it's called Christopher Nolan's Dark Night. Which is why Batman Begins is still my favorite comic book movie of all time.

I'll tell you what. I rewatch Batman Begins for our rewatch leading up to it. It's hard to argue with you. I still have The Dark Night is my number one out of that at all the Batman films. Did you love the new one? No, I didn't love it. I liked it a lot. Yeah. It's a well-made film.

And I don't need like a pie in the face in that necessarily in that movie. It's not what I'm getting at, but. No, I know what you mean. It's one of those ones like, for instance, you leave, sometimes you leave a movie, and you're like, I can't wait to go see that again, or I'm raving about this, or it made me feel, Batman's not supposed to make you feel good. Right.

And so I left the theater thinking, like, I need a shower and I need a vacation. They paint the dirty Gotham. Yeah, they paint it very well. My only issue with it was, was similar to a lot of the people. I just thought it was a little long. It was a little beefy. But I do like, I did like the Fincher kind of approach that Matt Reeves took with it. I didn't mind the darkness of it.

I thought it actually plays really well for Batman, but I just had a couple issues. It's long. It's a really long movie. I'll take Zoe's Catwoman. Give me that spin-off. I want to see where she went at the end of the movie. I'm excited about this Colin Farrell as the penguin.

Yeah. They're doing that on HBO Max. It's like a gangster film. I mean, come on. All right, let's get to some more questions here. All right, here it is. All right. This is Concord 327.

Today I learned that Mary Elizabeth Winston and you, McGregor are married. They're both. lucky. I didn't know that. It's like my woman actor crush and let's face it, male actor crush her together. And she's going to be in a Star Wars project. I don't remember where I saw it. I think the was from IGN. It's not IGN. It was a vanity fair. Well, maybe IGN was quoting that vanity fair. What's your question, Concord? I think he's just the fact, did you know it? Did you know it? I might have known and forgot it, but they seemed like genuinely solid human beings. Yeah. Good for them.

Well, so the way that came about on Vanity Fair, they were interviewing him about Kenobi, obviously, and he talked about her and how they were together. But I guess that was known by a lot of people, which I did not know. But the biggest thing that he spoiled was that she was, he confirmed that she was in Osoka. Oh, really? Okay. So, yes, did he confirm her?

Wasn't there already news that she was cast in a Star War? Rumor. And just rumor. He just confirmed. Yeah. Now, look, and you are in McGregor's defense, if I'm married to Mary Elizabeth Winstead, it doesn't matter what the interviewer is asking me. They're like, Mark, tell us about your new stand-up special.

Well, did you know I'm married to Mary Elizabeth Winstead? Anyway, it's got an hour of jokes. But again, back to who I'm married to. Let's focus on that. Yeah. And so, no, I didn't know it. I had no clue, but good for them. I also don't pay attention to that stuff.

Like, there's tons of people who are married. Celebrities are, oh, they're married. Oh, they get the way. I don't pay. The only time I ever find out about any of it is when I'm taking a piss and I look at. True. But I'm taking a, right now. And if it's a public trial.

And I'm looking and I'm taking a piss and my wife leaves those Those US weeklies whatever the hell they are, the us weeklies Whatever, who cares? And I'm looking over the side and I'm like, oh, so-and-so's got divorced. I didn't even go together. I just, I mean, as soon as the term marriage comes up, my eyes kind of glues over. Unless I am lucky enough to be the officiant at the wedding. Which you might be doing it again from what I got confirmation.

Word on the street. Yeah, confirmation is very much interested. You know, you book one gig with some. celebrities involved. And the next thing you know, you got a new career. All right. So Chris Razznake. No way. What week into the 22, 2022 NFL season will Sam Howell start for the comedies over Carson? Well, it's a great question, Chris, but you're forgetting one crucial piece of that equation. That would be Taylor Heineckee, a guy who's so scrappy and he's just got that great quarterback mentality you want. You know, he's not, he doesn't have all the physical tools of that a plus

quarterback, but he just finds a way to get the job done more often than not. So I'm rooting for Carson Wentz. I'm rooting for my team. I'm always optimistic. My prediction is that Carson Wentz, whether it's an injury or ineffectiveness or COVID, because the guy's, he's not vaccinated. Taylor Heineke is going to start by week four is my opinion. Now, Sam Howell somehow beats out Taylor Heineke for the backup job. The backup quarterback is going to be starting week four is my prediction. Well, my prediction is that you guys should be catching up on your athletic greens. That's by, I would like all of my quarterbacks in the commander's room to do that. Have you been doing this yet, this athletic greens? Every day, baby. Okay. You know me. You need to take some with you if you don't

have some right there. I already put some in my pocket before. I was giving permission. People have been testing it out. I just got it and I pinned a, I pinned a comment to last week's big thing. I think it was the rewatch. And the guy was like, you know what? I tried athletic greens. And I wanted to check it up because you keep talking about it. And he said his energy is up, he's feeling good. He said at first, I wasn't sure about the taste, but I love it. So it's great. I've been taking, you do get a lot of energy.

I wasn't sure about it at first, but it was Sheridan. I kept telling me, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it. You love it. And I did. And I mean, using it every day. And it helps. It gets, it's the gut health. It's more energy.

It's optimized immune system. I've been doing it for a while. I really, really like it. And it's got like a fruity taste. It looks like, it looks like, it looks like vegetable juice. You do in the morning? Yeah. I do it on the way to the gym.

Do you? Yeah, and it works. And you just take one delicious scoop of athletic greens, and you get 75 high-quality vitamins, minerals, whole foods, probiotics, the whole thing. And it starts you day right. So for me, I just get that extra kick, and it does really help. As Mark said, I just wake up in the morning.

I take one of my plastic bottles and I just put some stuff in there, shake it up, water bottle, that's it, done. So I told all my friends and families about it. They love it. And it contains less than one gram of sugar. There's no GMOs, no nasty chemicals. nothing artificial and it tastes good. The good news is that it supports mental clarity and alertness

And when you do, be like that other dude who just got it the other day and loved it. me know what you're thinking about it once you try it so the or me i told you you did you know the links in the description i'll bury the lead here sorry buddy all right it's amazing how we used to like we used to eat like garbage yeah yeah we used to be friends before he ate each that's my favorite

thing on the internet people do that do people say that yeah like if we take a picture yeah like see a movie it's like oh i'm glad you guys like are back in the same right it's like hanging out again it's yeah and i'm like we we've seen each like for the last three years on i'm like well was Mark up to it. We've been doing Shmowdown every week together for the last like sometimes daily like back in the height of the pandemic. It's like Wednesday. We've got two more matches. Every day we were doing it. But my favorite was the other day and you actually responded to it. So there's a few different times on our on our top gun out of the theater reaction one that we did. You guys are lying. This movie doesn't come out yet. That was epic.

There's a few people who said and I was okay with them asking the question. There were some newer viewers who were like, who didn't know and we're like, how'd you see this already if it's not out? And I was like, oh, we've just been going to press screenings for a while. So it's a, but this guy in Florida.

If you come in with attitude and you come in like a know it all, mansplaining, if you will, then no, you don't get any sympathy for me, which is why I referred to him as the top gun of stupid. It was so stupid. Like he,

this guy was like, yeah, nice try. You didn't see it. And I'm like, I'm like, I wrote, ha, ha.

You're being dumb, right? Or you're, or you're, you're messing around. He's like, no, I had this whole conversation. I go, I go, this is hilarious. I have to post this on Twitter.

Oh, that's great. And then what I note, I screenshot it and I posted it. And what I realized is after I wrote, dude, we've been going these screenings for a long time. I don't know what if you did his research, but he deleted his whole comment. Well, of course he did. And I was hilarious. It's like, if you just stop for five seconds and you think about the world, you know how movies, when they're coming out that week, they have a commercial and it says critics are saying this. Right.

Are they all lying? But I don't know. Maybe he just thought because we were. coming out of it that maybe he didn't think we were reviewer. Think McFly. It was, I just, I got, I really, I was, I was, that one, I was laughing on that one. I thought it was pretty fun. Hi, comedy. All right. Let's get to, let's get some more questiones, more questiones. Thank you for caring about my needs. That's right. Lee Mann. How excited are you guys for Shehulk? He's got the two crying emojis because, so, just to show, just so you know,

because I saw you, you, you dug, you dug the trail. I really like the trailer, yeah. So the trailer wasn't for me overall. I love Tatyana Mislani. Can we can we talk about the CGI later? Yes. I just want to talk about the actual trailer because I watched it on my phone. Yeah. I didn't have a big issue with the CGI. Okay. The tone of the show I found very refreshing. Right. So that's the thing. I didn't. So, and it has nothing, the stupidity of people saying it's the MCHU and all that. It's stupid. It's like the She-Hoke's been around for a long time. It's a very popular comic book. And she, and Tataa Mislani is a superstar.

And like, you, you can lock her into a role. You can give it her. This, this show is going to do very well with people. It just didn't land for me. Well, the problem was, as you asked, like, you know, when I saw the trailer itself, um, I liked Hawkeye the least out of all the series. Really? Yeah.

And I think that it's because I thought that would be up. Well, you, you like all that time warp stuff. I like the time warp stuff. And I like, and I like the more, they're really going heavy with the, the, humor for me in a lot of these things, right? And like Moon Knight, I liked a lot. Moon Knight's probably like my second or third favorite. You no longer have your sense of humor. Probably. You don't enjoy nonsense. No, I'm dead inside Mark. But, but it's just, there's just, I don't know, it's like the over. And I miss rage Hulk. I think that's the thing. I miss rage Hulk. And like if it was, I like the,

I like the idea of her being, because from what everyone says, like in the comic book, she's always, she was more the comedic character or the one who's more so like the Professor Hulk that we see but now Professor Hulk is all over the place now and it's like let's get that juxtaposition of her like that and get him back to Rage Hulk

because that's the Hulk that I always wanted. I understand that desire to see like just somebody just go full on berserker but what this show brought to me is as great as a character like Black Widow has been and I think it's why it was so refreshing to see the way that Black Widow worked with Florence Puske. I can't remember her name in the movie, but she was so good because she was funny, but you also got like an actual female perspective, not just a female character,

but an actual perspective is to where they're coming from. And so the scenes that we see in the trailer where she's just trying to date or she's just trying to do a job, she's trying to make her stamp in the world. I love seeing that from her perspective. It's like marvels for less, it's less, uh, raunchy sex in the city. Yeah. I think that that is so cool to see as opposed to just another run-of-the-mill origin story

where somebody gets their powers and they can't control it. I think that's fair. I think that's totally fair. And the dynamic with her and her cousin, you know, it's like we get Mark Ruffalo on the show too. Like, I cannot wait to see that interplay. But that's why. So it was a good teaser for me. And I get it.

And that's why, but it drives me nuts when people like, they get so mad about it. It's like, look, I, I'm not like for me, you just say you don't like it and you move on. It's like to go into this whole thing of why the Marvel's trying to do political stuff and do that. And it's like, give it a rest. It's like you're,

and on the other side of that, you're allowed to not like it. Like if I, if I look at it and I go and, and like I said, I think Tatiana Mislani, I'm going to still watch it because I love her. I think she's incredible.

It doesn't mean if I don't like it, I don't, that I hate women. It doesn't mean that if, that I don't want a woman-led show, of course it. I want this show to succeed. I want this show to be great. The tone, it doesn't work for me so far. But maybe when I'm watching, it's also a three minute trailer. I could watch an episode and go, you know what? They made that work. Yeah, I mean,

there's a chance. There is rage in there somewhere. There's a chance that there is just uncontrollable. And more dramatic it signs like a balance. I just want to see them take ownership of this story and not just, you know, furiously try to work this into the rest of the MCU. I I want this to be able to breathe its own air for a while. And that's the feeling that I got from the trailer. And then you look at the CGI debate that everybody's having. What I hope the template set by Sonic the Hedgehog was, is that everybody freaked out when they saw Sonic's teeth in a trailer.

And they went back and they fixed his teeth. And you didn't worry about it anymore when the movie came out and it ended up having a very successful run. So what a lot of the scientists on Twitter are saying is that, well, this trailer was cut before they were able to finalize the CGG Which first, I understand Marvel's got a schedule there. We got to get this trailer at today. Wait.

Not a good move on their part. You really did not do your show a service. You didn't do Tockeana Mislana. Because that's all everyone was talking about. Yeah, you didn't do the character of Sheikolk itself. So now you have this bar that you got to get over like Sonic did. Like the, like the Ghostbusters 2016 did. You unfairly put this show in a hole right out of the gate and you opened up the door for people

to start bitching about the CGI, which is fair. And then they're going to start to put. holes and everything else with the show. And that is on Disney. That's on them doing that. 100%. Having said that, again, we all did end up going to see Sonic and it had a very successful run. So I hope that everybody can get over their phobia of less than perfect

CGI and just come into the show with an open mind. Give it a shot. Because that's what I got from the trail. But like I said, I think that it does depend on if that tone is for you. If that tone is for you and you didn't like the CGI, then I agree with the 100%. can go into exactly what you're saying. Take it easy wait because it probably isn't ready yet. What they shouldn't have done was, I think, Chapchek,

whatever the hell his name is, Pop Chapic. He probably said, do they keep talking about it? They said, there's problems on the set. Show him a trailer, show him a trailer. You don't need a show him a trailer because you got Ms. Marvel coming out for us. We've seen the trailer for, that's the show doesn't come out until August. Right. Wait, get your, take a month, a month to fix a trailer up and then you can do it, right?

Silly, unless that's the actual CGI, then that's a problem. But again, I saw it on my phone. I didn't hate it. So if I was, if I was the person green lighting it and I just watched it on my phone, I'd be like, yeah, it's ready to go.

Yeah, it's, it's tough because there was just some, some moments that it looked, it looked very like Fiona from, from Shrek, like at points. So it was like,

I don't know, you know, it's a green character. I know, but I'm hoping, look, I'm hoping for the best because I love, I love Ruffalo,

love her. Really hope that it works out. I hope it's a good blend of what you're talking about. And a mix of, of some, some drama with the character, too. I don't want it to be a straight up comedy.

I just love the science behind, you know, at least when the Incredible Hulk goes crazy is when his heart rate gets above a certain thing. We've seen, we've been inundated with great courtroom dramas. You think about Tom Cruise and a few good men at the end. If he had this special ability, he would have hulked out by the end at Colonel Jessup. I want the truth. His heart rate is spiking, baby.

I want to see like a heated courtroom debate and then what happens next. Well, that's also what also is going to happen next is that Daredevil is probably going to show up now you have this new report, the Daredevil is going to be a Disney Plus show. So you'll probably show her, Jessica Jones is rumored to come in. So they're going to start to add some stuff inside of the Marvel thing that you're talking about.

They are going to add new characters, I'm sure. But you know, you mentioned something that I have to give a spoiler to that, if anybody cares, for Chippendale Rescue Rangers. Okay. All right.

I will accept that you're going to ruin this movie for me. You might not be happy. I hear it's very good. This is a spoiler for people out there. there. So if you don't want to hear spoilers on Shippendale and you, and you're going to watch it, then just, I'll put it in the time code. You go to the next thing. If he starts talking about the offer again, no, I won't. I won't, but I will say, because you mentioned Sonic. Dude, they have bad, they have bad, ugly Sonic, they call them, Bad T Sonic in the movie. That's so funny. It's

Roger Rabbit, this movie. This movie is Roger Rabbit, and it plays off all the, like, the, animated things and, like, you remember how, like, the really bad, like, Polar Express, CGI. Seth Rogen plays like this Viking that's like out of straight like Bayolphe or something to him. The movement of him is so bad. That's funny. The show is,

I saw you raving about it on Twitter and I was just and I still, I guess have this like I immediately, if I see you talking about anything that is chipmunk or squirrel related, chipmunks, I go right back to chip wrecked or the one that I was like playing a basketball game or something so I couldn't review the movie with you. Terrible. Terrible movie.

And you had just such a bad time. Yeah. So I'm like, how did Christian light? Then I'm like, oh, right, right. This is Chippendales Rescue Rangers. It's a whole different thing. But it's Annie Sandberg and Malaney bringing their humor to this.

But there's so much, it's like Reckett Ralph, Roger Rabbit. It's got a Roger Rabbit thing because they do like detective thing. I couldn't believe how much I liked this movie. I couldn't believe it. Okay, I'm going to ask him for a spoiler. And y'all can hear muffs if you want.

Do we get to see Launchpad McQuack? Which one is that? The Duck Pilot from DuckTails. I don't think so. But you do see Scrooge McDuck. I know, wait, was Launchpad? I think LaunchPet. I do want to see Scrooge.

But Ballou, the bear maybe was, he was the pilot in that. Ballou shows up. But like they, yeah, they, they, they, but in a different, but, but it's, again, this is spoilers for, for the movie, tough. You can, like I said, you could, you got a retit of this video. You could have skipped. You could have skipped.

You could have skipped. The time code's in there. But they, they, they, they, oh, not only, they, they, they blew from the jungle book, the live action one. Yeah. Which is, which is, which is, which is great. And then, so Chip gets a, or is it Dale, Dale gets surgery to give himself the CGI treatment. So he's more like, Chip is the old school animated version and he had the surgery. So he looks like the computer.

It's really funny, man. It's really funny. I know what? I'm seeing the, I'm seeing at least half the family, maybe the full family this summer. Yeah. So we'll put that on for the Tykes. I'm going to watch it with the kids again. I probably, I probably already watched it this weekend with the kids.

because we'll be watching it for sure. We're all very proud of you. Thank you. But here's the thing. He ain't watching it with his family. He's going to be out here in the shed. And he's going to be listening to Sylvester Stallone sing songs from 1982, watching Jerry Raiders by himself.

Your poor wife telling the kids, like, no, daddy's working hard. You're getting high watching Rescue Rangers. But I was, I couldn't believe how I, I'm like, I'm telling you. I put it on. I'm like, you know what, I need to, I'm going to review something. I'm going to, they sent me this link. I'll take a look. Because they invited, because I got an invite to,

the premiere. I remember it. Yeah. I mean, I saw it. Yeah. My daughter couldn't go to it. So I'm not going to the premiere. I'm going to drive it.

And then they sent a link. I'm like, all right, I'll watch it. I like Andy and I like John Moline. So I'll check it out. And I, I,

I just turned my phone off. I was like, I'm like, this is enjoyable. I was like, it felt good watch. I laughed. And J.K.

Simmons is hilarious. He always is. Really good. Anyway, so if people check that out, it's, um, it's,

I think it's on Disney Plus now. So we hope that answers your question, Lee. Yeah, that's right. Richard J. In the finale, the Spider-Man No Way Home, Dr. Strange cast a spell to make everyone forget that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. What impact will this spell have in other Spider-Man universes? Will Toby McGuire be swinging from his chandelier while Kristen does look up in sheer horror?

Do you think Sony would use this arc as a jumping-off point in any potential new Spider-Man films with Toby, Andrew, or Tom? I don't know if that carries over to every universe. This is where it exhausts you, huh? Yeah. I don't think it carries over to the universe. So much work. So much.

Did you like the Doctor Strange? Yeah. It was, it was an enjoyable romp for the most part. I felt no stakes. Yeah, me too. I understand that like America Chavez's special abilities being able to hop multiverses. I just hate that that is a character with such potential.

And we couldn't even meet her in this universe. We had to create a multiverse to get her into this one. Well, she doesn't remember. That was the thing, but that was the thing with her. She doesn't have. She just, she. I get it. Yeah.

I get it. Yeah. I get it. But no, I mean, I don't think the Dr. Strange casting a spell, like if this is Earth 300 and I cast a spell on you, I don't think that affects Carl off and Ellis on Earth 500. No, it'll work here. It would, yeah, I don't think it's going to affect Toby. I think that becomes too tricky if you do it that way.

So, no, probably not. I do kind of love the very subtle last Jediying to the, uh, to the, the fans that the Illuminati sequence did. Which one? In Dr. Strange, too. Because basically there's some really fun appearances. Yeah. And then three minutes later.

Oh, right, right, right, right. Loved it. I know what you're saying. That was the Luke thrown away the lightsaber moment where everybody just relax and let us tell us. You got two last Jedi. Met versus no more. All right. Great movie.

Pass. Luke meditated too hard. Is that the one? Or is it? Oh, see? All these different ones here. None of them. You're literally speeding through all the ones that I want to answer.

I know, I know. We did that one. See, I lost it. Do rapid fire. There it is. Brian Kalmas. I love dog stepfather. Okay, I'll answer this one.

What was the response to it? And how did it perform overall? Any chance of getting a follow of special soon? Mark, you got to answer me a question. Great question. What is dog stepfather? I'm just kidding. First of all, my wife, Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

That's how you answer every question. Tell us, tell us. Yeah. Thank you for watching Dog Stepfather, available on Amazon Prime. And you can watch it for free on YouTube. New special. I'm hoping to get it on tape later this very year. Are you going to record it?

Not sure yet in talks with some folks. And I mean, the real question is like, when are you comfortable with your hour? And I had a couple breakthroughs recently that I think we're pretty much there. Okay. So very excited about it. Well, thank you. Now you just got to get it on tape and get it out as quickly as possible so that, you know, it's still relevant. Well, thank you for your question.

All right. Here's James Mason Albrecht. What's your favorite, favorite 80 songs? or album. Jeez. So, I mean, that's a tough one for you. I'm going to look at this question through a different prison, though. So you can't answer any Van Halen?

No, no, no, no. You can, but I'm going to look at this not as any song released in the 1980s. I'm going to look at this as the most 80s style song. You know what the first thing, first album that came into mine? Purple Rain. No, not for me. Beastie Boys. Okay, that's a good one.

That was the first one that came in mind. I remember how that one hit. And how significantly different. for their career or what it was from when they hit. Did you ever watch a documentary on Apple about them? Yes. Yeah, it was good. Like to see, like, they hated that album after a while because they hated playing it.

Right. Doing all those songs. It wasn't challenging to them as artists anymore. But like that album was, and still a great album. Yeah. It's like so, there's a lot of stuff from that era, 80s, whether it's rock, hip hop, whatever. It just, it doesn't hold up.

It holds up in its own. Like, I'm not going to lie to you. We listened to Millie Vanilli the other day. and we were listening to Millie Vanilli in the house. And the kids were listening to it. Kids were listening to it. I was getting a kick out of it, blame it on the rain.

Sometimes you just got to blame it on the rain. Little bangles going on in the house. There's a lot of 80s music. Girl, you know, it's girl, you know, it's true.

You know, that was the song they were doing when the CD skipped. Is it? Is that what happened? Yeah, you can see footage in the behind the music of Millie Vanierry. They're on stage.

It's girl, you know, it's girl, you know, it's a girl, and they're just like, one of them runs off stage. and then the other one is just like, well, it was a good run. Yeah, it's truly. The opening skit of that song is the best.

Girl, you know it's true. It's so bad. But anyway, the Beastie Boys, though, that's just, it just holds up. I'm going to say the one, I mean, again, I think a lot of this stuff is all time, you know? Yeah. The first one that I think of, just because of everything that it was used for the right and wrong purposes in the 1980s was Springsteen's born in the USA. It's a great one.

I kind of cover. The song itself. what does it actually mean? Should Reagan be talking about this song in the context that he is? And every cut on that album is a masterpiece to me. You can feel the 80s influence on it. And Springsteen has gone back and said that maybe he was a little too poppy with it. I don't think so.

I think it's perfect. It's a good one to put in the, I mean, he's got a lot of other ones that are not that add. Yeah, go put on the river. Go put on Nebraska. Right. Right. So to add one of those that is. I mean, I love that album.

It's a good album. Yeah. But Purple Rain is way up there. As far as like iconic 80s albums, I think of. I mean, there's a lot of Floyd albums back then, too, that work really well. How we go to the 70s for Pink Floyd? I mean, when was the wall? Was it 778?

Uh, wall was 76, 7, 8, something like that. Wall is so good. Yeah. A lot of good ones. Stones had a lot of good ones in the 80s. They had a tattoo you, which the video is about the most 80s because it's Mick doing aerobics. My favorite, just bring me thinking about it today.

I had to have watched this with you, but when they took the sound out of dancing in the street with a Jagger, it is the best. Fall down funny. It's so funny. You can do so much with that. I'm looking up the wall and now it's bothering me. You can do so much with that video because family guy,

sometimes family guy just likes to mess with its viewers. Yeah. And family guy, like, you know, the plot of that episode is going on. Then Peter sits down and he literally just watches the whole episode, the whole music video.

The one we're talking about? Yeah. With no sound? Not with no sound. With sound, but then Peter looks in the camera and he's like, we all let this happen. Yeah. It's so good.

Underrated cover of dancing in the streets is Van Halens from Diver Down. I'll also put Huey Lewis in the news as power of love as far as like the most 80s, 80s. The top gun soundtrack is way up there. There's footloose. There's tons. Footloose is a very good. Anything Kenny Loggins. A lot of great stuff.

Okay. Let's get to the next one. John Crum. Crum laughs at you. Hey guys, long time fan. What are your favorite moments? Some of your favorite moments

from the Shmo's now movie show. For me, the trial of JTE was an all-time great. Also, Willie the Bull. Willie the Bull was great, too. Willie the Bull killed me. Yeah, it was great. Really, watching Ken do the news was always just so much fun because you and I would open

the show and we kind of set the table for everything. And then we just kind of get to take a break and it would just bring such positive vibes in there. And, you know, first of all, the wall came out November 30th, 1979. So I think we're both right. I was close. But, uh, yeah, as far as my favorite,

like all time bit, well, he's had one that just, and I think moment for me is Mark Hattel. No, he didn't say, he said moments. He said comedy skits. We did not. He said, what are your favorite memories from the Schmoz number? I can read. I would say, I would say, Mark Hamel interview. Yeah, because we, because the way that we, you and I were, we were, we were, we were, it's like when a, when a, like when the LeBron interview was happening in general, when he was announcing where he was going, everyone was talking about it. That's how you and I we're prepping for this. And then when Andy Circus,

when we had Andy Circus on also, but Mark Hamill was, um, that one was special. Yeah, that was special. Because we were still pretty new into like, oh,

we knew that he was confirmed to be in the new Star Wars movie. This was the beginning of 2015. So he's promoting the Kingsman, right, uh, which came out in February that year. Right. He wasn't talking Star Wars.

That's not what he was on. Yeah. And then, but then he did the Joker bit for us that. And that was huge and that played on every show. Yeah. And he didn't do that for people. He didn't do,

he wouldn't, he wouldn't do, And we asked him to do it and he did it for us. And he did, and he did, off the top of his head just came up with that, that, that, that, that, that bit, which was awesome. And that was also the form, the first time we called Mance Cocaine Donkey right afterwards. Oh, right. Well, that, that was sort of like the nice tag, like a post credit scene is Mance running in a high

five because he's the one that sort of broke that interview. Yeah. Yeah. But I remember Hamill also said that like he, I think in the interview he says like, yeah, I checked out y'all's site. Yes. And it's like, what? And that is the reason why when I, you know, bumped into him on the, on the, on the red carpet

of force of weight. He knew who I was. Right. Right. And it was just, you know, it's like, I can die now. My people have asked me this recently. I'm like, my, you have a favorite and it's probably plays into it because there are a lot of moments for me.

Do you have a favorite phase? Do you remember the, of the Shmows? You're much better at the phases than I am. I'll give you the phase. I'll give you the phases as far as a breakdown and you tell me. The phase one was just me, you and cheese. Cheese. And doing the stuff.

And what would become your daughter's bedroom? Yes. For the first like 10 or 11. episodes. Phase two was when Katie, what was her name from, from Carolla show that came on to produce. Oh, right. Katie.

Yeah, Katie. Katie came on to produce. And then we, it was still strictly podcast form that we did. And we recorded a bunch of episodes from the Bachelor's studio. And we had a lot. We had, that's the first time we had ever had Sam Levine on.

We had Jeremy Johns on a bunch of times. Like we had a bunch of people that came on. And then phase three was Toad Hop. phase four was when we did it from drama three four when we just we had no place to go we were like richard gear and uh in officer and gentleman we had nowhere to go and and then phase five was the first that was after buzz when we started there and that's where schmodeon was born that's where all that stuff was born phase six was then collider and that was the that was the that was the end of it right yeah I mean I really appreciated a lot of what we got to do with just the space at at collider and just kind

of like meshing that gradually into schmodown and find the tone there. We got to have a lot of fun just with the space because we have like two different sets that we could do like the celebrity impression day and game in a different way. But, you know, I mean, just as far as like the energy and just like rolling up to the studio and just, you know, feeling like that rag tag group of bad news bears that's going to try to cobble together some sort of program. Probably be, no, it probably would be three.

Me too. You know? Yeah. Face three is my favorite as well. But it had the most radio feel out of it out of the side of what we wanted to do. Yeah. The cameras were probably the worst out of all out of the, the top of it. To me, that was part of the charm.

Yeah. Because you'd have, you'd have Makuga standing right behind me. Yeah. Either tweeting or getting scared. It felt more. It felt more of that kind of zoo thing that we wanted to do with the internet. That's when we had Sean Aston come in and Katie was the co-host for a while on that show. Katie, Sackoff, that is.

And then, and that's where we met Tiff. And Tiffany kind of came in and became the co-host of that. But we had a lot of great episodes from the trivias where Finstock debuted and all and all that, the stuff that we were able to do. Five. because of Shmowdown and everything was great. The problem with six was that everybody was just too tired because we were working. I would put you at the head of that. Of course.

Because you were jumping a lot. And so I was like, it hosted. I mean, pretty much maybe half the show. I took off like five months. I might have hosted. And so I had a good time just doing a different sort of service for the show. It was obviously much easier and better when you were there. But I had fun.

You know, we got to introduce some new personalities to the world. through it. And so I think every phase served a purpose, even if some of those phases were like, hey, this is not the way we want to do it. Like you need to do it live where you and I just had that realization. Like I get it. You can't, most podcasts are pre-recorded. It's just not how we feel like we're at our best. Yeah, we were doing, we went in the interim between five and six. We were, you know, it's funny. I went back recently because there was doing some monitoring on the channel on the old channel. And we had done that Harloff and Ellis podcast for a couple. Remember that? We were doing it. We were and a few of them.

And it's funny now because YouTube's so different, but we're like, oh, these aren't doing as well as we wanted to. They cut like 20, 30,000 views an episode. And we're at the time of like 100,000 for Shmose. But anyway, thank you for taking us that memory later.

I appreciate it. All right, let's go to the next one. Jacob Lagarde. How much for one of those PlayStation 5s, Mark? Can I tell people what that's all about? It's probably going to be in the new special. Yeah, Twitter got hacked. And then, you know, it was a tough time in the world

because that was when everybody was starting to feel a lot of concern over Roe v. Wade. And so there's a lot of people tweeting like, where are all the men now? Where, where all men are being awfully silent. You just scroll up the timeline. Men are being silent. And then here's me.

Who was a PS5? Scamming people out of money. So for people that they didn't know, Ellis had his Twitter hacked and whoever the scumbag was that did it. It was like people would DM them and like he was like answer back. like trying. And we, and our fans were awesome. They were trying to, they were doing the, uh, they were, they were like trying to, like,

quiz them about like, hey, what was your favorite phase of Schmoves? Yeah, but then, but then my account would block them. And so I had to like go in and make into, like, unblock a bunch of people. How many you have to unblock? I just like 50 people. But, but you did me a salad and Molly's mom, Danny did me a salad because I has both of y' all to just like put out a tweet from your account like, hey. Like that headshot I put out on it?

What was it? It was just, it was just, it was just, but people were like, oh my God. I opened it up and I was fearing for the worst. Thank God. That's great. Yeah. But no, then I got back in and it was able to like rectify it. But I got so many angry DMs from fans.

And it was so funny to read the DMs because it started out like, hey, man, this is just so cool that you're doing this. And because it's at for charity. And I heard from people that like the reason why they thought it wasn't a scam is because I'm just that swell of a fella. Yeah. No, I ain't. And you start to see the DM's turn. It's hilarious because they're like, hey, this is really cool that you're doing this.

can I get one? Just let me know how to pay you. You're a super nice guy. And then it's like, F you, I can't believe you would scam people like this. And I'm like, again,

I didn't do any of this. But in a lot of those fans' corner, they did write me after they, after I got back in and was like, hey, they're like, hey, so we're cool,

right? I'm like, we're cool. hilarious. All right. Here's the, the next one here. Travis Nickerson.

What is your favorite comedy club to perform in? Comedy store doesn't, count you can't you can't you can't say comic we both can't say comedy excluded yeah then um i would probably say my favorite comedy club to perform in denver comedy works the downtown one's way up there acme minnesota is way up there where you had a great 10 minute set in three minutes and those would probably be two of the uh two of my all-time favorites i like american comedy company in san diego too and i like that one thursday of comic on okay doing it's doing it's a i'm doing my show there. Okay. So I liked that one a lot. I think tickets just went on the other day,

actually. I like, I always really performed well at both La Jolla and the com, and the improv on Melrose. But yeah, I didn't count. You didn't count. You didn't count. You wouldn't let me. No, well, that's true. I love you, but I did like the improv on Melrose a lot. I had really good sets there. You know what I'm still waiting to reopen is I don't know if the ice house is back open. Oh, yeah. But that's a really, really hot house I enjoyed also. You know, Ice House was a great place to work out. I remember when I, you know, when you have those transition parts of your, of your comedy career where you feel you're in a standstill and then break through something happens. It's like, I remember that happening at the ice house. Yeah, you get that spark a lot.

I remember going to the ice house and being like, I'm just doing the same stuff and I'm bored. And then I'm like, you know, I'm just going to riff at the ice house. And I found like four bits inside of that. It's not about the acoustics. And flappers is actually the main room of flappers. When it is packed, it's like, it's a really warm crowd. Flappers was nice. a good place to come back to. You know, like, and we should, New York Comedy Club is a place that I like the, the, the, the rhythm of that, of that place.

I just like it, it's just such a New York comedy club. It is. The Boston Comedy Club, when it was open in New York. I've only heard the legends. Yeah. That, that was a, that was a, that was a first place I ever saw or met Jeff Ross in 96. And I, and I, and I remember him, like, he was, he was fantastic back then, you know.

Yeah. And yeah, all the, so those are some of the ones. Is that the first comedy club you were ever in? Was Boston? In New York. But, I mean, I started in Tallahassee. Oh, right, right, right. Yeah.

But did you do an actual comedy club? They didn't have comedy clubs. So what they did, and you know, that's where I meant Chrysher, right? So the first thing that they did, the first place I ever did was this bar and grill was the first place I ever did in Tallahassee. And grill? It was called Bar and Grill. But there was a place called the warehouse, which had an actual stage.

that it wasn't like a comedy club it was yeah it was the most it was the most like comedy club out of all them yeah like it was it was built yeah like you you would enjoy playing it like it wasn't what you like it was set for there was nothing in there except the stage and chair it was my favorite place out of all of them but everything else like pot bellies was the worst that's where i met that people nobody it's like they might as well you might as well been doing for performing in front of in roadhouse yeah that's hilarious because i've heard like from from dug and and and from my friends from my high school that went to Florida State, which I almost was one. Yeah.

And they always talk about like these legendary nights at potbellies. Yeah. Never about stand-up comedy. No, I went there many times to hang out. But then I remember being cautious when they're like, hey, we're going to do this show at pop bellies. I'm like, really? Right. And because Bert, Christa at the time was his first time ever doing stand-up.

And he had all this press from Rolling Stone, the magazine that did this whole thing on them. So like the number one party school in the nation. They were only there to see. him. And this is a college crowd. They were only there to see him. And so I remember and I, and at the time, I was kind of like the younger, kind of more outrageous one on this troop that we would do. So, and you're 19, 20 years old going, oh, well, I'm still going to be able to get them all. They didn't give a shit about me. They wanted to see Bert. But I remember, Bert tells his story like everywhere now. And I, and I'm so, and I'm humbled by it every time he

tells it. But I at the time, I remember him like going to pound a beer and I go, I don't think you want to do that. And he goes, why? I go, you're just going to rely on it all the time. And he said he's always kept that with him. Because I, my first time ever in Tallahassee, I was, I didn't like blackout fall off the stage, but I stepped back and fell off the stage because I had been doing Yeager.

It's great. But all right, you got to get going. God, giving you a hint. Let's do, we'll do one more than we go. God just flicking out the stage. That's it. Not for you, kid. That's it's the last one.

How long have you guys been friends? I have transitioned into it. Well, first of all, we're not friends. No, no. Used to be. I think so. We're now rivals. So that would be 2003.

Yeah. Right. So it's probably 19 years. I would probably say April or May of 2003. Yeah. That's somewhere in there. Yeah. So almost 20 years.

Yeah. Because you came to, because of Doug who you just mentioned, came to the barbecue. We have a 20th anniversary. We should have a barbecue. At that stoop. That place is gone.

Oh, right. It's gone. They knocked that building down. Yeah. Yeah. They knocked that building down. Damn it. Okay.

Well, we got to do it in the street. We should just do a barbecue here. But you got to bleach your hair. Would you bleach your hair on the anniversary? And we'll tape it? If I have any hair left, I'll bleach it. Fair enough. But that's, yeah, about 20, oh, close to 20 years.

We've been friends. But we are talking about trying to do a few more reviews together. We did our out of the theater reaction, which you guys responded very well to. We were both, you know, really happy about that. And we're doing the spoiler review that will be out this Saturday. So make sure for Top Gun Maverick. We talked about it for movies that we see together.

we'll review them together and we do a few of these big things together. I ditched you at the Dr. Strange to premiere. Did you? Like enough to be at. Because there were seats in the back and I'm like, well, if nobody's taking that, I'm going to go, you know. Oh, I didn't mind.

I don't care. Yeah, but I was sitting behind a buddy of ours who is very, very tall. So you got lucky though, by the way, because there were two guys right behind us in those seats. They wouldn't shut off. Why do you think this is what I tell him. When the lights go down, I'm like, by the way, as always, I'm a flight risk because what I mean by that is it, if I'm not having a good time

where people are talking, A, I'm going to tell them to shut the F up. And then I'm just going to take my business elsewhere as far as a different seat to sit in the theater. It was really bad. And they were like, they're YouTube guys. They were, they were, to be fair, they were excited about it. They were like Uber fans. Like, but they wouldn't shut up. Like, oh, is that good? That guy. Oh, that. I don't know why I sounded like, I sound like Tigger from, uh, that was really good. T. T. I double good. Or, yeah. But he, like, a lot of those, um, you know, reactors now, who are movie reviewers, they're specifically geared to look for the Easter eggs. Yeah, right.

So it's sort of like you're doing play by play. Yeah, that's exactly right. And so anyway, all right, look. Don't do it at the pictures. No, that's our show. Make sure once again that you check out the Top Gun Maverick spoiler review with Ellis and I. Go see the movie. And definitely see the movie.

So you can watch the review and enjoy yourselves at the theater. But check Mark out, not only at Mark Ellis Live and make sure that you if you can, where can you buy tickets and where are you? Great. next week. Next week. Next week. Next week.

I don't know where the hell I am next week. So it's Monday. So you don't know where you're going to be? I mean, I'm in town. Okay. So just go to the sets. But I think it's July 18th.

The Thursday of Comic Con, I'll be an American Comedy Company, 8 p.m. You'd never know who's going to show up on a Mark Ellison friend show. All right. Also be my wife. That's not true.
