When the frustration grows and the doubts start to creep in, we all need someone who has our back. To tell us, we'll be okay, to remind us of our ability, to believe, because their belief in us transfers to self-belief and reminds us. us of all that we're capable of.

Starting point is 00:01:08 getting to meet the men, women, and children in person. Tara, I believe something is coming up on the 29th of this month. WonderCon! WonderCon! Oh my God, that's right. WonderCon. Run by the same people who do Comic-Con, so it seems like it might be a pretty big event. Real Rejects is going to be there.

Starting point is 00:01:25 Late afternoon, early evening. They did give a time, but that tends to change. but it usually hovers around the same time frame. So I'm saying late afternoon, early evening. Come say hi. At this point, all the rejects are scheduled to go. And some don't even know that yet. But you guys know before some of they do.

Starting point is 00:01:40 It's their job. They have to be there or else they're out of here. They get fired. You get the boots. You get the boots. You don't show up to WandaCon. You get fired. You don't got to get that paycheck, huh?

Starting point is 00:01:52 Anyway, so get your Wondercont ticket to enjoy the event. Check out all the other panels with people who are bigger than ourselves, but then come to ours and say, high after because we want the attention. We need to feel special and validated. We want to interact. We build us up. Us. Not for you. No. This video is brought to you by acorns and prize picks. More on them in just a bit. That's it. All right. Let's go. Scotty doesn't know. Scotty doesn't know. But you know what we do know. I don't think Prepper. We're coming down these highlights because we're definitely going to need it.

Starting point is 00:02:29 After watching Euro Trip, the unrated version of the film. So, Greg, how are you feeling? I'm feeling, I'm feeling good. That was a fun movie. It was about what I expected. Yeah, I would say. A raunchy comedy. Weirdly, a little more raunchy that I actually expected it to be in terms of, like, how much nudity and stuff there was.

Starting point is 00:02:56 Even with it being unrated? Surprisingly, yeah. really i think it's like i don't know it's been a long time so i've seen like american pie or any of that this feels like is american pie more nudity i thought there's way more this is actually more than american pie yeah like it exceeds that by like a mile yeah no i thought so like as i was watching like it was actually a pretty good amount here but it commits um i could see how it became like a cult comedy classic and uh there are some bits in here i will never forget that were flat out hilarious yeah and yeah i mean i think like in the first 20 to 30 minutes

Starting point is 00:03:33 there's like there's a difference here sometimes you're watching stuff without a camera pointed at you at home and and you're like i'm just sitting back and it's okay if i'm not really laughing and then we have a camera point you're kind of like uh i feel like i should i should be laughing more or something like that feel the pressure to laugh you're like it's not that funny to me like it's funny it's fun but like it's it's a musing but i'm not like finding it hilarious uh outside like a few jokes but then it might have been around the robot dance part or the movie just started clicking for me as like this series of sketches throughout europe they kind of feel like they came over like what funny bits can we do

Starting point is 00:04:12 in europe and little sketches and then they strung it together with a plot 100% you know yeah which the plot worked well enough for character like there were some moments that surprised me with some attention to character like the friend giving up the brother twin giving up the camera yeah that surprised me him getting a tour guy job like they actually paid it off

Starting point is 00:04:36 the obvious arc with the main guy Scotty being able to get the girl but I love how offensive it is and I love how fun and I thought it was a really funny movie but yeah you know

Starting point is 00:04:49 it's not like to me the greatest thing in the world or something but it did its job it's fun it's a funny comedy movie yeah it's a funny comedy movie yeah i can agree it was a nice light watch on a saturday you know got some got some butts got some some sexual harassment got some uh got some substance humor which was fun yeah i thought this was a apt early 2000s comedy right in that vein of a American Pie and I haven't seen Van Wilder but I imagine like in that sex comedy group and I feel like it definitely served that purpose and I think it made me excited to check out stuff in Europe

Starting point is 00:05:36 even if it was like this heightened version of not what actual places like but places like Amsterdam and in France and England to some extent I was like yeah this seems like a lot of fun I would maybe not want this exact experience but certain certain things I would be curious to explore, you know, definitely not a dungeon where I'm getting like three-pronged in the bum. That's, that's not ideal. But, you know, I'm sure there's a lot of other really cool stuff in Amsterdam, you know. You know, we got colorful drinks and yeah, yeah, hostels with cats. This seems fun. I don't know, man. I think it's cool. It was cool getting to see like a different sense of the culture, even though that's not the purpose of the film, getting to

Starting point is 00:06:24 see the variety of the type of funds that you can have but yeah i like the characters well enough but they made me laugh i think the two deep the two lead guys were were pretty funny and like why we've not seen them in more things is there a euro trip too i don't know but i'd watch it you know it's not it's not the the deepest movie but that's not what it's trying to do it's not trying to tell this you know this really compelling story wants to make you laugh or giving you a setting maybe you're not accustomed to watching American films, especially American comedy. And I would say by those metrics, it succeeded, especially in this unrated version where they really took advantage of that relinquishing of certain standards they have to adhere by to play in theaters.

Starting point is 00:07:10 Yeah. Yeah, I was like, okay, I'm with it. I'm with it. What about you, man? What's your favorite place you'd want to go? Rejignation, fun fact, fantasy football is now a part of my life. Why? Because my wife and her friends.

Starting point is 00:07:22 are obsessed with it. So I'm constantly hearing about things I've never heard about before, like who's getting benched, who's a sleeper pick, and why someone's entire weekend was ruined over a bad play. And at this point, I figured might as well support my wife the extra mile and getting in there myself. And that's why I want to think prize picks. And my wife will tell you, I'm not the sharpest tool in the show when it comes to stuff like this, but price fix is the easiest way to play daily fantasy sports. No complicated drafts, no long-term commitments. You just pick two to six players, decide if they'll get more or less, then their stat projections, like passing yards, points, or rebounds, sports terms, and if you get it right, you win.

Starting point is 00:07:59 It's that easy, and it's quick. You can make your picks in under a minute, way less stressful than managing a full fantasy team. And you don't need to be a hardcore sports fan either. Believe me, you don't, whether you casually follow games or go full deep dive mode. It's fun either way. And the flex play. Flex play means you can still win, even if you miss one. One pick, so it's not all or nothing.

Starting point is 00:08:19 And here's the best part. Prize Picks is available in most states, including this lovely state, California, Texas, Georgia, so it's so easy to jump in. So it would be an amazing thing for yourself and to support the channel as well. You could download the Price Picks app today. Use code Rejects and get $50 instantly when you play just $5. You don't even have to win to get the bonus. Prize picks, people, run your game. Reject Nation, like many of you, I'm assuming, I didn't come from what you were called.

Starting point is 00:08:47 a strong financial background my family did lose their home grew up constantly hearing that we were poor so when it comes to money and investing i've never felt confident yet my entire life people were like you have to invest you have to invest outside of a couple of areas there's honestly very little i tend to understand about finances genuinely that's why i love our sponsor for this video because i was using them before they were a sponsor acorns they make investing stupid simple i can set aside a little bit of money, watch it grow over time, and actually build the safety net without feeling overwhelmed by the process.

Acorns. You're sponsored in this video. That of the places we saw. You're like a tour guide for the review. I would.

Starting point is 00:10:25 I guess I'd love to go. I mean, it's Amsterdam. undoubtedly Amsterdam looks like the best. I mean, I would never. I'm a very loyal man to my wife. Of course. So I would never do anything of that sort. But, you know, the brouties.

Starting point is 00:10:39 Like the actual brown, not the, not the regular brownies. You know, the fun brownies. brownies the fun brownies the canals and stuff i mean they don't go to italy here um wait i go to rome yeah i'm stupid spaghetti spaghetti but i mean i'd love to go to italy but amsterdam has always sounded like the best i just feel like it's the vibe of just i think you could like chill and take in beauty at the same time yeah i feel like everywhere else that kind of be on the go a little bit you want to do like an itinerary kind of thing yeah that's why i said i would go to london first just to kind of knock off

Starting point is 00:11:14 like the busy thing first i thought there's fun to have be had in london like i always wanted to you know have beans and their breakfast and they're they're they go in the bars beans thing i don't know though yeah do they have beans for breakfast over there i didn't know that yeah man there's so much i don't know apparently their food's not as good but that's their that's their thing they like beans with their toast in their oh okay trumpets and stuff no weirdly did do a good job at uh letting us i mean i was fascinated kind of by the behind the scenes metric of it of like oh in a marketing standpoint it's smart because you're able to like appeal an american movie to european audiences and appeal to u.s audiences as well the um business side

Starting point is 00:11:58 of like hey this is a great excuse for us to go kind of travel europe i wonder if every part was shot in every part of europe that they're in because the movie does a good job at selling you there Except when they're in London. When they're in London, that was one problem like this looks fake, right, in the background.

Starting point is 00:12:12 But the other parts felt possibly real. Like they had to have shot some of this in actual Europe. Maybe, I don't know. Movies can do a good job

Starting point is 00:12:19 of tricking my mind. There were some fun. The cameos in here were the best to me. Like Matt Damon's cameo was pretty funny. And it's like the cameo itself is not like,

Starting point is 00:12:31 Koi is like, it's the greatest Matt Damon cameo ever. It's a very impactful cameo for what it serves. That's like it's one random scene of this like mega star matt dame and just doing a cover uh lip singing and scotty doesn't know but the scy doesn't know song is such is the theme song of this movie 100% so and it became such an iconic song that i didn't realize was from this movie and to so you're like oh that's

Starting point is 00:12:54 kind of cool that mad dame we got to have like such a lasting impact because he's the one singing it the context of what it means to the character of scotty is kind of neat so understanding why because i always knew the mat daming there's like a matt damon cameo in here but i didn't what the mad damon cameo was so to see the movie and know why it's it has time i is it's not the impact of it is not because it's like the most hilarious matt damon cameo uh it's it's because it actually feeds the narrative and the theme song of the entire experience of europe trip yeah so that was kind of a cool experience to discover for um oh that's that's why matt damon is so a big part of it and yeah i think there's a i don't know like i think i think i think i think i

Starting point is 00:13:38 think just because something's like kind of a raunchy comedy doesn't mean it it can't like double down on some I think that's why the judd apatow era was like so big at a certain point with set rogan and judd apatow like 40 old virgin knocked up super bad was because of that extra layer that they brought to and wedding crashers even that even though it's not jutapitau i think they bring that too with that raunchy kind of comedy that has that extra heart in it that makes the comedy even funnier you know i've seen one of those four movies you just which one super bad Tehr here. You haven't seen the others?

Starting point is 00:14:09 No. You son of a bitch. You watch any of that on your own time. And without running it by me, I'm going to murder you. All my comedies are reserved for. You ever seen wedding crashers? Never seen wedding crashes. I don't even know the premise.

Starting point is 00:14:24 Obviously, it's about two guys crashing a wedding, but that's all about it. Yeah, like those movies to me are also surprised. Like that one like a Golden Globe, Hangover. Really? Like those movies won like gold. I think that won a Golden Globe for like writing or something. Because those movies are surprised. I forget.

Starting point is 00:14:37 It won't something. Because because of that. And so not that I expect a Euro trip to be in that camp. You just start seeing some of the weeds where you were going like, oh, I did have that potential. Even American Pie to a certain extent has like that extra character stuff. Yeah. And I think like this movie was more sketch comedy.

Starting point is 00:14:56 For sure. It was a series of bits. But it wasn't just that. Like I liked that perhaps that was the original construct. And then they added in this other stuff. And I kind of feel like one came. first the sketch comedy because the movie was definitely at its strongest when they were just doing some random sketch right stuff with the pope hat the drinking the brother the twins hooking

Starting point is 00:15:17 up um the uh what i mean like oh my friend armiston is so that was the funny that was my favorite part of the movie funniest cameo like the robot fight surprisingly was so hilarious i'm like i don't know why this is so funny but this is hilarious right now like this is hilarious right now like It was such a simple, stupid moment of having a robot fight. And like, I think when the world around them could be buys into it when the entire world around it is like, Michelle Tractamer is like, fight, you know, everyone in the crowd is watching and like getting really into it. And I think when the world adapts to it, that was one of my favorite parts about this as a

Starting point is 00:16:00 comedy is that is the commitment to the world of the surrealness and the ridiculousness of it. like there wasn't any characters really who were like that's strange that's weird huh unless of course it was a moment where it's out of touch for them like when they go to the the nude beach um like kind of like that was that one of the more obvious joke moments you could see coming but yeah like the the parts that i thought were the funniest were when they just got like so insanely absurd the yeah fred armisen bit of how he's like escalatingly getting more obviously perverted and creepy and uh the robot i five and like the brother's sister hooking up and the drink with the tooth fairy yeah those are the little boy with the little

Starting point is 00:16:42 moustache in the marches like while there's this like sad conversation going on that was hilarious there are some truly hilarious scenes in this movie yeah the dungeon scene that was crazy so while it kind of it's it never it was a weird experience to me because sometimes it was like uh just a regular like not a flat line but like yeah it's amusing too like oh my god this is so hilarious but it was never like It was funny, funny, funny, funny, hilarious, funny, funny, funny, hilarious. It was like, oh, my God. And it's like extreme shot. Oh, when the guy is. Actually, all this stuff in Amsterdam was a really funny interview. The fact, they were regular Brownings. The movie's funny and then I realized the more I talk about it to where I'm like, actually,

Starting point is 00:17:23 there were some truly hilarious scenes. And the bit that they were not actually high was a pretty funny reveal to me. That was pretty good. Yeah, the movie's kind of all over the map, like this Euro trip. but yeah i i largely enjoyed it i think that it was super funny i thought it made me laugh more than i expected to because move like some movies and comedies don't age well you know like certain movies from like the early 2000s or like late 90s don't really hit but for some reason yeah this this sex comedy really worked i feel like the heightenedness of the surroundings and

Starting point is 00:18:03 like the believability that they kind of surpass or kind of overlook make the movie allow itself a chance to have these moments that are extremely funny so yeah i thoroughly had a good time yeah yeah yeah you have any other thoughts feelings about the euro trip no no no i think uh i think it was uh i think it was a funny it was a funny movie it's a funny and raunch a good time I'm glad we finally taught. Same. All right, guys, let us know what you guys want us to watch next. Do you guys want to watch more sex comedies or more classic comedies in general?

Starting point is 00:18:41 Let us know. We love you and we'll see you in the next one. Peace. Well, we thought this guy's card was just on auto renewal. No, it turns out. This whole time. Turns out. He dipped.

Starting point is 00:19:01 Because it, it. left andrew hayes account left i was like he must have realized his car's on honor or new oh no but now this mf is back look at that because he chose to be that you decided to come back you have been silent for years years we've been shouted you have ever repeat from you and i'm like i really wonder if he's somewhere he's still pledged and you must be aware this is crazy to me man you've been one of our top patrons for so long you've just been in the shadows this whole time appreciate you so much thank you Andrew for being here thank you for not asking anything of us in return it is beyond generous of you so to see that you have returned here for

I was like, oh, what a nice surprise part way through the month. So thank you, Andrew Hayes. And I hope this wasn't an accident. That's all I'll say. I hope it wasn't an accident.
