Starting point is 00:01:28 This video is brought to you by G Fuel. More on them after the reaction. That's right, baby. Are you ready? I'm so ready. Oh, yeah. I've been ready for years. Ready for years, baby. There's a new one coming out. We gotta get caught up. Okay. John, are you ready to get into it? So ready. All right, let's go.
Starting point is 00:01:49 Judge Reinhold is his name. Okay, he's Judge Reinhold. I always, I know the name judge reinhold so well and i have never been able to pinpoint it to a specific face i think i get judge reinhold mixed up with judge philip banks fresh friends yeah oh wow that's funny oh my god oh my goodness this is a lot of fun yeah dude what you think of the movie i thought that people who watched this should listen to it as a podcast and leave us a five-star rating on Apple or Spotify. But I also think we should go to rejectation shop.com. I think they should.
Starting point is 00:02:28 You get teased like these. You get teased like these. Ooh. Ooh. Oh, man. This was very fun. I mean, yeah, I didn't know exactly what flavor of action slash comedy to expect out of this. I mean, you know, it's one of those.
Starting point is 00:02:42 I've been aware of the image of Eddie Murphy from roughly this time, probably even from like a sequel or something. But yeah, I've never really had it. any great sense aside from just Eddie Murphy's comedy tonality of what to expect. And so, yeah, I thought this was a really fun blend of all of its elements. Like, yeah, it is a comedy. Yes, it is irreverent and funny. But it's also not so much that that it's not also interested in being like, you know,
Starting point is 00:03:12 a real mystery and a real cop movie to a degree. I mean, they threw down. I feel like that's often in the more recent times for me. me anyway it's one of the kind of earmarks is like how much which side of the genre spectrum are we on and how in a like police comedy do the stunts and the action sequences play out and this certainly isn't like the highest budget most crazy uh you know experience in terms of those kinds of elements however i i feel like yeah that this does really strike a nice balance between being that actual cop movie where you know when there are chases and stuff like that when cars are getting
Starting point is 00:03:51 smashed up, you still feel the oomph and the impact of that when people are, you know, when they kill his friend in the hallway, like that was actually like a stark, harsh moment. And when they're actually in the thick of, you know, a shootout or, you know, some other sort of, you know, undercover part of the investigation where, you know, you have to not blow that cover. I thought they actually managed to get the right amount of tension out of those things along with always keeping it appropriately like like I feel like a movie like this kind of a tough balance to strike because
Starting point is 00:04:25 of how much it's committed to being both I feel like it could easily kind of detract one side or another by going too far one way or the other and I didn't really think that that happened here and yeah like Eddie Murphy is so much fun to watch and in this you know I'm used to
Starting point is 00:04:42 Eddie Murphy later on in his acting career where there's a bit more of a stick or there's a bit more of like a, it's kind of like in a different way, but similar to how like an Adam Sandler or Jim Carrey, like once they really hit their stride,
Starting point is 00:04:59 you can feel that there's kind of a fully formed persona that they're acting through. Whereas here, you know, you're a little earlier on and, you know, it was cool to see Eddie Murphy both doing, you know, the comedic things that we expect from him, but also, yeah, just kind of inhabiting the role, you know? Like, he's Eddie Murphy in a lot of ways, but at the same time, again, just his presence throughout the movie
Starting point is 00:05:23 and, you know, as a listening, you know, reacting actor, you know, was actually pretty good. Like, yeah, it felt natural and he felt understated at the right times in ways I wasn't expecting, along with all the, you know, more broad aspects of the comedy. So, yeah, this lived up to the hype in a lot of ways, at least here and now in the moment. What did you think? I agree. I agree with a lot of what you said.
Starting point is 00:05:46 I think the movie was a lot of fun. I think that watching any of the movie, Murphy in his prime really speaks to why he became such a popular star in the first place. I think he did a really great job of balancing those comedic moments without going over the top and those most serious subdued moments. I feel like watching Axel Foley, he's a very strong character in the sense that he's very quick on his feet. He's witty. He's charming. But he's also passionate and cares about the people in his life and is willing to go the distance to write the wrongs that have been persecuted.
Starting point is 00:06:19 I like that. I liked that it was a personal thing that brought him out. Yeah, yeah. It was a personal thing. It was unexpected. The movie definitely was able to bring that point home
Starting point is 00:06:32 with the fact that we really got invested in the chemistry between him and his friend and then when it happened, it was so jarring as murderers usually are. You know, you don't expect them. I've seen some fun murders. I tell you. The ones I've seen in real life,
Starting point is 00:06:47 way different than the movies. All right. It doesn't even come close to the murders I've witnessed. Not even top 10. My top 10 murders. That's our next video. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Yeah, but I will say overall that, yeah, I understand why this movie's a classic, you know? And it's funny because we watch a lot of movies in this channel. Some things hold up that are old comedies, other things don't hold up so well. And I think this movie perfectly holds up well, even here in 2024 with its mix of comedy and its action.
Starting point is 00:07:21 I think it excels in both areas. It doesn't really go over the top and trying to be a comedy. It's like its comedy is more subdued and the moments where it does let Erie Murphy run with it. He knows how to strike that tone and hit that pocket of not going over the top with what his acts are, but this movie allows him to breathe while still being authentic to what we know him to be as a performer. Yeah, not going too slapstick or too wacky. In fact, I almost think you swap the any, you swap the inclination to go slapstick with just the actual, you know, action.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Yeah. You know, like just with actual serious actions. Yeah, yeah. And I think it's funny because I sure at this point in time, Annie Murphy is more known for his comedy. I want to say he was in SNL at this point already and maybe he had his specials. I think this is probably like early to me. height of his popularity so for him to be able to prove that he is not only a comedian for
Starting point is 00:08:22 his bits and for being goopy but he is an legitimate star uh he can be a romantic lead as we saw like inklings of his chemistry with the the primary girl he was uh he was with in this movie but also i'm glad she wasn't mixed up in the crimes yeah she wasn't mixed up in the crime she wasn't, yeah, she got like kidnapped at the end, which is like kind of a trope of action movies and superhero movies. But, you know, I think her as a character did have a legitimate role to play and she didn't, she wasn't just like eye candy, it wasn't just like there as romantically. I'm kind of happy they didn't go that direction. Yeah. With it. Yeah, I bought them as just old friends. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And their history, they're, they're, the three of their shared history with
Starting point is 00:09:08 his buddy, whose name I keep forgetting. They say his name a bunch of times. It's his case. but yeah yeah they do and I think that you know one the movie is really well-paced in addition to kind of exploring Eddie Murphy I think he he definitely knows how to be that that through line and be something that is that is consistent through both the comedy tones and the series tones of it but yeah just overall the movie is very very well-paced it's like an hour and 45 and it really breezed by and not to say them and also to say the music really set the tone for the movie like it's it's so catchy and it's such a vibe for the 80s and la in the 80s and i like that edie murphy's character was like the the one except for the
Starting point is 00:09:56 other cop but he's like clearly like a street dude in the sea of like this this uh not heightened LA, but like a upper class kind of world with where it's like predominantly white and he's like the goes against the grain but it's still capable of getting things done even in these
Starting point is 00:10:17 scenarios where you know we don't only see a lot of people of color in those kind of environment. So I really liked the fact that he was able to not hold his own but you know the fact that he is so different is what makes him
Starting point is 00:10:33 such a good cop makes him so good at his job oh there's three of them okay okay and then I guess the new one way yeah okay 84 87 and what's the last one 84 damn and this guy who played the chief
Starting point is 00:10:49 is just only in these movies I guess or his Detroit chief is just only in these movies okay Gilbert R. Hill yeah I guess when I you see the title Beverly Hills copy you expect it to be a movie about, oh, he's a cop that's in Beverly Hills or he is going to transfer to Beverly Hills,
Starting point is 00:11:08 but that doesn't happen by the end of this movie. Yeah. Which I was surprised by. Yeah. I thought that, like, what the, I guess the point was, the fact that he goes in this mission, like, damn, you're really good at your job. You're hired out here. But, yeah, I'm surprised and go that direction and not mad at it.
Starting point is 00:11:23 I'm curious if we get a chance to watch, if you guys want us to watch the sequels, where it goes from there. Yeah, I actually kind of like that. That seems kind of, I don't know, there's something neat. to me about that that yeah it's not quite on the note obviously he is the titular Beverly Hills cop but also in the movie he literally specifies Billy as the
Starting point is 00:11:43 Beverly Hills cop and yeah like that was an aspect that I hadn't accounted for at all like I didn't know anything about the fact that he would be a Detroit cop and two yeah it's like I like that thing you said earlier on in the movie about how you know you have him and Tandino as you know
Starting point is 00:11:59 two guys who probably grew up together and who probably yeah just like fell on to couple real different paths because of that moment, that thing, he says, like, I love you, man. Like, that's why I didn't squeal on you when we got caught for whatever that, like, carjacking was or whatever crime they're reminiscing about. And then that probably opened up the opportunity for, you know, Axel Foley to take, you know, his street smarts and put them to use as a cop on the opposite side of the line. Right. And then, yeah, having that be the prologue and having, yeah, this totally different
Starting point is 00:12:31 environment and totally different attitude behind like how the police works and stuff like that then inform you know the fish out of water the contrast between his sensibility and the sensibility of the folks in Beverly Hills and I think you know going to Beverly Hills you're going to the upper crust
Starting point is 00:12:47 you're going to like the pinnacle of you know social mobility and wealth and stuff like that so like if he had just been like oh you're going to like LA in general I feel like there would be less fish out of water because it is the 80s and now we do have We're further along in terms of integration and what the populace looks like in terms of demographics and people.
Starting point is 00:13:09 But yeah, if you're in Beverly Hills, clearly this is a place where you might still encounter, especially as like a black officer coming over from Detroit of all places. Like you might encounter some culture shock. You might encounter some friction among people. And it was like just the right amount. I like the video to make a point of it. Like you're in a white environment. Yeah, it almost never comes up.
Starting point is 00:13:31 come up but like it just is you know and if you you notice it cool but i think just the nature of the story it's just about his sensibility is different yeah yeah exactly and that was paul riser at the very beginning it's like what i can't like he's he must have him pretty big at this point so like to have him just be at the beginning just like chatting in his ear in that one scene in the precinct and then never to appear again it's kind of funny to me um but yeah like yeah yeah like it wasn't in some ways it was what I expected. I've said this, I think, a handful of times lately, and it is always interesting going back to movies like this that have existed in the cultural sort of lexicon for so long. Yeah, it wasn't as broad as I was as a little as I was expecting. And yeah,
Starting point is 00:14:18 it's a little less about like, you know, oh, specifically black cop in very white bread environment. Yeah, it was just about, you know, this very different attitude. And I liked, again, that they used so many it's like the fact that he's not on the Beverly Hills PD is like a whole obstacle that keeps kind of motivating aspects of the story. Yeah, exactly. And yeah, he's all constantly got to, like they just made so many fun games out of this because you have the investment with his friend, you have the fact that anything he does in Beverly Hills on this vacation
Starting point is 00:14:50 could affect his standing back home. Then you have the fact that, you know, he keeps running into problems with the Beverly Hills PD and keeps having to wriggle out of those situations. And some of that means fun, but some of that means legitimate obstacles. And he's using his knowledge of both sides of the line. You know, he's using his knowledge of how the book works to work around the book to get to the places off the book that he knows he can get the real info at. And, yeah, like showing how kind of intelligent he is as a cop when he's really, like, focused on, when he's not busting anybody's chops, he's like, yeah, we went to the warehouse.
Starting point is 00:15:28 We found these bonds. And they're being swat the boxes, the shipments are being swapped out before they even ever make it to customs. And they're being packed in coffee grounds with suggest that there's drugs in there. And like, yeah, when he says like, oh, maybe start my own private detective agency, I'm like, you probably could. Yeah, yeah. You probably could do that. Big thanks to G-fuel for continuing this awesome partnership we got going on. I've joked about, well, a truth, actually.
Starting point is 00:15:50 I've consistently taken less pay in order to get a bigger bulk order of G-fuel. Reason being, I actually sought this partnership out myself since I'd already been a long-time G-fuel user. And you may have already noticed whether before or during filming. There's a good chance I or my co-host are being energized by G-fuel. And as someone who's become especially passionate about mental and physical health, especially during our 10-12-hour workdays, this has been a lifesaver. It really does stand out for being healthier than other options.
Starting point is 00:16:14 No sugar, no gluten, and more importantly, no crash. Which helps keeps me focused and energized. And there's a few of the hosts here who generally don't like energy drinks. But now, every day, they take from the stash. And I'm happy they like it, but I hate having less on my shelf. I've got to learn to say no. But lately, I've been more into the tubs than the cans. It's weird sentence to say, but it's true because of the efficiency.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Also, the variety for blending options. Because they have a wide range of flavor. Sometimes I use it for pre-workouts or blending into my shakes. Usually I can just take my time drinking it or down it really quick, especially for that essential afternoon boost. And what's more than one I become especially reliant on lately are their hydration drinks. I use them about one to two times daily. They help replenish electrolytes, have no caffeine, but still help with that focus and energy.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Honestly, these drinks have been a game changer in our lives. And sincerely, they've helped me reduce stress and boost overall well-being. Because here's the real deal. you value your health and are looking for that consistent, clean energy to power you through the day? G-fuel really is the answer. All I can say is, trust me, once you try G-fuel, you'll notice the difference in your energy level, focus, and just overall performance. Don't just take my word for it.

Starting point is 00:17:20 tubs. Thank you again, G-fuel. It's been a great year or so partnering up with you. Trigger you every day. Yeah, from the beginning, there's this sense of, of tension between him and authority because that whole scene we opened up with where we first meet Axel, he is not even supposed to be on that case. He's like, why are you doing this? And like, what are we, like, I didn't assign you to do that. And then, like, you need to take it easy because your friend just died.
Starting point is 00:17:43 So there's, like, half the battle, half the story is the fact that he is a cop that doesn't really follow authority, but is good at his job. Which is classic. Yeah, which is classic. didn't feel the same way that the trope feels now, I guess. It didn't feel the same way of like, give me your badge and your weapon. I want you off the case.
Starting point is 00:18:06 You know, like it, and it is kind of that, or it borders on that. And yet, yeah, it didn't feel like I was watching that trope and, you know, forgiving it.
Starting point is 00:18:15 I think part of that is just Eddie Murphy's charm to it as well. He's just so likable in this movie. It's so natural, exactly. Yeah. And he feels natural in both modes. I never had to stretch my mind to believe how casual he is or how proficient he is. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:31 No, he is just like the bad guy. He's the ultimate cop, but a cool guy combo. The cop you want to be. Exactly. Copies. He's graded improv because he's quick on his toes. Most certainly. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:18:48 And oh my goodness. Just, yeah, good energy. Good energy across this movie. And some, you know, again, it's not the concept. of movie you always uh i feel like in a movie that that has a strong comedic element the number one thing you want is like oh did i laugh but you know i feel like this this nicely delivered on both and i miss when movies were aiming for this i guess because this feels like one of those older era movies where it's not so clearly defined as a genre so much as it is a vehicle for a
Starting point is 00:19:19 particular talent eddie murphy um but yeah like i and and just something about the timbre and the visual quality of going back to a movie like this, obviously shot on film and shot in a place that at least for us is somewhat familiar. I mean, I don't spend a lot time in Beverly Hills, but I have driven through Beverly Hills. I've been there a time or two.
Starting point is 00:19:39 And yeah, seeing, just feeling the heat and the elements and the environs of the 80s through this particular perspective, you know, just I don't know, it brought a real tangibility. But even, like, I've never been to Detroit and even those early moments
Starting point is 00:19:55 there. I thought they did a nice job. And hey, maybe you live there and it's completely unauthentic. But I thought they did a nice job of like establishing mood there. And, you know, again, the heat and the unique sort of just, I don't know, the slice of life that is everybody just kind of out and about of an afternoon, you know, in this part of the country that even still seems, you know, on hard times, but yet not short on spirit. And two, meeting him in the cigarette truck i thought was great because you're you're sitting here going okay is he undercover right now that seems plausible but also he could just be mixed up in some sort of crime and maybe they're going to like leverage him some weird way into you know joining the force or doing some kind of
Starting point is 00:20:37 thing for them or whatever like yeah i thought they they had a like few the things that were easy to guess or or you know call out you know seemed appropriate and then there were a number of other things where i was just like okay cool like you know there's some actual thought that went into some of these circumstances that isn't just like, oh, you know, let's hit the beats and you know, get to the comedy, you know, which is fine, which can be fine. But yeah, I just I like that this felt like it's its own
Starting point is 00:21:03 little film and it has all the, you know, genre elements. Yes, I will hardly agree. Yeah. Oh, and hey, if you want to, do we want to get into some facts real quick? Let's get into some facts. Let's get into some facts. First of all, I just wanted to let you guys know that director Martin Brest
Starting point is 00:21:19 directed this. He also directed Midnight Run. He directed Scent of a Woman with Al Pacino. He directed Mead Joe Black with Brad Pitt. And he directed the hit 2003 Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck
Starting point is 00:21:36 masterpiece Gile. That's the last thing he directed. That's the last thing he directed. 2003. What a note to go out on. Why just stop? Hans was out here. I don't know if he's done other things. He's directed a movie in 20 years. But yeah, it's been a minute since he's been on the directing tip.
Starting point is 00:21:52 And he wrote Gile as well. That must sting. Oh, good golly. Well, retired him. It's okay, though. Props, because this was pretty good. It's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Fact off the top, something we were very much curious about. Eddie Murphy, John Ashton, and Judge Reinhold improvised most of their comedic lines. Literally hundreds of takes were ruined by cast members,
Starting point is 00:22:14 actors, and the director laughing during shooting. During the super cops monologue, Ashton is pitching his face hard and looking down in apparent frustration. He is actually laughing. Yeah, I was wondering about that in that scene specifically.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Ryan Hold put his hand in his pocket and pitched his thigh really hard trying to prevent himself from laughing. That's fun. And that's one of those things that can easily go wrong or be unruly. But I thought, yeah, such lovely improv suggested chemistry. Yeah. To cast the roles of Rosewood and Taggart. The director paired up various finalists and asked them to do some improvisation to get feel for their chemistry. He paired up Judge Reinhold and John Ashton and gave them the following direction.
Starting point is 00:23:02 You are a middle-aged couple married for years. You're having a conversation on an average evening. Ryan Hold immediately picked up a nearby magazine and the two improvised the five pounds of red meat in his bowels bit almost exactly as it eventually appeared in the movie. That's great. Some good trivia on this. Yeah, man. I was wondering about this one. Axel Foley's T-shirt is from Mumford
Starting point is 00:23:24 and Sons. A real-life Detroit area school one of the filmmakers attended. When the film came out, the school got orders for the shirts from customers all over the world. That's awesome. Wow! Support education.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Hell's yeah. Originally, the two men were supposed to be working in the art gallery scenes. Originally two men were supposed to be working in the art gallery scenes. When the director heard Bronson Pinchot's search impersonation,
Starting point is 00:23:51 He thought it was so hysterical that he scaled back the other part to give Pinchot more screen time. The second actor shows up briefly with his shirt collar open too wide and surge comments on it. Yeah, okay. Interesting. Yeah, because that guy never really ever came back. Eddie Murphy became very
Starting point is 00:24:08 tired while filming the police station sequences. The crew offered him coffee, but he refused to drink it because he refuses to take drugs of any kind. Eventually, he relented and took small sips of coffee to stay awake. He became very energized and ad-libbed the Super Cops monologue.
Starting point is 00:24:24 That's wild. Wow. I had that straight-edge. I had zero idea that he was a straight-edge dude. I mean, you know, good for you, Edward. But also, I would have never have guessed that, honestly. Let's see. During his tirade at the Beverly Palms Hotel, Axel pretends to be writing an article called Michael Jackson
Starting point is 00:24:46 sitting on the top of the world for Rolling Stone magazine. In real-life Playboy ran an article called Eddie Murphy is on top of the world published January 1983. That's cool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:58 It's fun literature. Oh, goodness. It's clever. And actually, I guess Eddie Murphy was on SNL from 80 to 84-ish, so this would have been
Starting point is 00:25:08 like right as he is exiting SNL. A couple spoiler trivia facts. So if you haven't seen Beverly Hills Cop, tune out now and go watch Beverly Hills Cop
Starting point is 00:25:19 then to come back here watched this full reaction until you get to this point and then we'll pick it back up. In the scene where Mikey is killed, the production was rushed out of that location. They were unable to shoot a shot of Axel falling to the floor after he gets knocked out. Martin Bress notes he regrets not getting this shot
Starting point is 00:25:35 as it confuses some people when Eddie Murphy just disappears. I thought about that. And so much was happening at the time, I was like, where did he just go inside or did they knock? I thought they knocked him out, but where did he go? Yeah. So that's good.
Starting point is 00:25:48 It didn't derail the experience. but yeah there also wasn't really much in terms of like I mean he captained in the back of the head there wasn't really much in terms of like an effect there no he's bleeding a little bit at the end yeah but not in the actual blast but Jonathan Banks no no what's his name his friend
Starting point is 00:26:06 the guy who actually died yeah there's no blood that Jonathan Banks plays a killer in this movie in a reversal of roles let's not read that one because it's got something to do oh no no 48 hours there you go in a reversal of rolls, 48 hours. Okay, I won't read it then either
Starting point is 00:26:24 because I've not also seen 48 hours. Oh, snap. Look out. No spoilers for 48 hours. Oh, no. Only for Axel Foley. Body count. Seven. First, Mikey is killed by Maitland's goon at Axel's apartment. This is the kill count that you didn't know you wanted
Starting point is 00:26:40 for Beverly Hills cop. Rosewood later kills one at the customs warehouse rescuing Axel. Axel then kills a guard at Maitland's followed by Rosewood killing another guard. Axel then shoots one while being covered by Rosewood and Tagger. Axel then shoots Maitland's goon in the house.
Starting point is 00:26:56 And then finally he and Bougamel take care of Maitland. Final count, Maitland's goon one, Axel three, Rosewood, two, Axel and Bogleville together. One. Taggart fails to record a kill. Later redeem himself in the sequel. Okay, spoilers. I guess Tiger's going to kill
Starting point is 00:27:14 some dudes in the sequel. I was hoping he would get a kill. That's what I really hope for every movie cop is that they get to kill somebody. Hopefully it will make our top 10. Absolutely. Of murders that we've seen. In real life. Martin Brest also director cameo. He is the clerk who checks Axel out
Starting point is 00:27:32 of the hotel at the end of the movie. That's fun. That's fun. A fun little bit. Not bad at all. All right. Well, guys. It's been a pleasure. I hope you guys enjoyed watching this with us because we enjoyed watching it with you.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Thanks for being here. Thanks for being here. We appreciate you guys. Let us know if we want us to watch the sequels, and we're going to get out of here, guys. So until next time, a deuce. Wow. There you go. Freeze frame on there.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Lex, this month we are deciding which celebrity you most remind us of. And just subconsciously, every time I see your name, Lex, immediately. The first person that I think about is undoubtedly Pete Davidson. Pete Davidson. Definitely. Every time we see you, Lex, just in and out of a new relationship with some haughty. And I'm like, wow, never would have thought Lex. Yeah. I mean, look at Lex's funky faces what we say behind here. Big kid brother energy, but it's okay.
Starting point is 00:28:44 It just seems like problematic and toxic. Yet, and no one picks up on the fact that Lex is constantly going to rehab. Yeah, but, you know, you must be packing or something. But everyone's always drawn to you, Lex, for some reason. Resistible. Don't get it, you know, you, it's like, you seem like the kind of- You're the queen of Staten Island. God, the person we pick up, I pick on at a playground.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Yes. Yet, you're constantly getting the hottest people in the world. That's the true curse. It's bizarre. You are-sard, you must have a hell of a person now. You're a bunch of people's karma. You must have a hell of personality when the camera's not rolling, what I'm trying to say. Because when the camera's rolling, Lex, I don't get it, but everyone else does.
Starting point is 00:29:27 Everyone else does. And we're, and, you know, can't resist the charm. Also, thanks for stopping by and doing a tight 20 that one time I visited New York. It just really made my life that much better, Lex. Again, we're not shouting out. No, Lex was there. Lex had a tight 20 minutes to try out on stage, stand-up comedy. Lex is really funny.
Starting point is 00:29:47 And then Pete Davidson came right after Lex came. It was crazy. All right. No one even cared about Janine Garofalo after that. In all seriousness, I'm only putting down your looks because I'm jealous and I've never actually seen what you look like Lex. That's true. So to me, I'm not really saying anything that is applicable because I have no basis. It's speculative humor.
Starting point is 00:30:16 It's open-ended speculative humor. You could be the hottest person in the world. Or the ugliest that I have no idea. Lex P. Davidson while Lex is in here looking like Kim Kardashian. That'd be crazy. But you sound hot. You sound hot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Thank you, Lex. We love you.
