Starting point is 00:01:08 Okay, raid 2. I mean, man, oh man. Let me just ask you this, because we've seen a lot of fight movies here on the channel and in general you've seen a lot of foreign language films all over the place here

Starting point is 00:01:23 and also over on Jabby's channels. How do you feel that this stacks up is this is this movie uh a top for you top top top i mean just from the action sequences alone for sure i like that this movie too and again the first movie i thought was top as well what i like that this movie raid one raid redemption what i like that this movie did i mean i like that the first movie like just from the keko did not stop it was like literally a roller coaster ride after room after room yeah we're in one place so we were literally in one location for them for pretty much the whole film so where is it gonna stop there's no way to stop but this film too

Starting point is 00:02:03 it had that balancing act of slow burn too fast pace and I thought it did a really good job of blending the tube just so beautifully together on top of that and again I really did like the villains a lot in the first movie but I feel like this movie really took its time letting you know the getting getting us to know the villains and what they're really what their motivations are and just really laying those characters developed throughout the film so I did appreciate that a lot of world building with that because it wasn't like you know there was a lot of times where you and i kind of looked at each other like wait did they say this about this person because there was a hundred characters in this and there was a hundred locations and there was multiple

Starting point is 00:02:40 families that didn't like each other but also people within those families that didn't like each other so they they were just like we're going to trust that you guys are going to pick up the breadcrumbs because we are going to put a lot out there and just hope you guys figured out yeah there was definitely a couple times it was like wait i'm having a little trouble falling this. Thank God I had you here to help me out with that. I felt the same way because I would be kind of like, oh, and then you would be like, oh, this thing. I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And again, obviously, too, with what we do, it's not an excuse, but we're trying to keep this as entertaining for you as possible because we're doing commentary as well as reacting. So, sometimes

Starting point is 00:03:11 we might miss something, but, you know. It's also with the subtitles and the fact that this isn't our only movie of the day today. True. So, you know, when you're when you are doing that, and there's a lot going on, not to mention the cameras, the lights, all the stuff. So of course, you're going to miss some things sometimes. And even when I'm at home, sometimes your mind just wanders for a second. Usually what I do at home is I'll just rewind really quick. But here we don't. We don't have that luxury, unfortunately.

Starting point is 00:03:35 So for the people who are like, how do you not know that Razza's not? And it's like, bro, because we got a lot thrown at us at once. And we did pick it all. Like, you know, it's not like it was the most confusing storyline, but I'm so with you. Yeah, true. And I think a lot of those people, too, well, shouldn't, shouldn't, in my opinion, they're coming from a place of passion, but also, too, they're coming from a place of I'm guessing they've seen the movie multiple times it's like this is our first time so you know have a little compassion when it comes to that but again all that said the action some of the greatest action

Starting point is 00:04:08 i've ever ever seen that's kitchen scene that yeah and again this is not and i know i talk i say this all the time like as i'm doing the review this is not recency bias i really wholeheartedly mean this that's some of the best like the highway scene the mud i love the inventiveness just on that the the the when it was raining and they were in the mud the mud oh my god it was like it was it was so long ago yeah i almost forgot about that too but just thinking about the action sequences but also too i really like the character is rima right yeah our guy rama rama rama sorry our guy that he's our guy to our guy he's our only guy he's our guy but i like like his story like two in the first movie you want him to survive so he can get back to his daughter

Starting point is 00:04:55 and his child, or his child that's going to be born soon. But also on this one, it's his wife and the kid. Yeah, and it's the same thing here, but also, too, he's kind of on a revenge tale as well. And also, he's been through the grinder. He just went undercover for over two years. So it's like... When he thought it was going to be a couple months.

Starting point is 00:05:13 When he thought it was going to be a couple months. So, like, all that turmoil this character's been through, like, you really root for a character like that. And obviously what we've been through with the character as an audience in the first movie. and just like we really emotionally are attached to this character as well as he's just a badass as well also i wasn't expecting to be so attached like i know we didn't get a ton of time with echo i really like that but they did a good job of setting them up and you did a great job too picking up that line

Starting point is 00:05:40 of you know we're we're not all that different whatever the line was it was a great foreshadowing i thought because i didn't pick that up at all i was curious what that line meant there was great subtext to that. I love when movies can do that. And then you see the ramifications later on in the film. It's kind of like planting a seed into the ground and then it blossoms into a beautiful flower. And he says that they hope they have different endings. And they do. They did. Literally. It was literally foreshadowed in that moment. So yeah, I definitely got more I'd like to say. But how are you feeling after watching that? You know, it's an interesting thing. This is not my genre, my typical genre. This isn't usually like if I'm just watching a movie at

Starting point is 00:06:19 home, this isn't the kind of thing that I usually would put on, which is my, I love so many things about being a reject, but maybe the number one, after all the people that work here, maybe the number one thing I love is that it's introduced me to movies that I don't think I ever would have watched otherwise. And boy, oh boy, am I missing out by not watching stuff like this, you know? Because the talent of Gareth Evans to write, direct, edit, and, you know, and, you And stunt and choreograph with obviously with assistance. But to do all of that, to watch somebody really bring their baby to life, you can feel that in here.

Starting point is 00:07:02 I've, between the mud scene and the kitchen scene, it's so inventive. It's so creative. It's so inspiring to see what, it's like watching a dance. It's watching, it's watching, I love theater. It's like watching theater, especially because he does these long cuts, these long takes, where everybody has to be in the perfect place, moving at the same time, understanding the position of the camera, understanding their footing, understanding their opponent or their partner, you know, and I'm a theater nerd. So watching this is like, it is truly incredible. And then the characters, and then the story, so it's not just the fight sequences.

Starting point is 00:07:45 I really, really liked Raid a lot. I don't actually know in this moment because it's been so long, which I preferred. They feel like very different movies. One was very isolated. One is so out there. But I do think that what this movie did an unbelievable job with

Starting point is 00:08:00 is the complete opposite of what the first one did an unbelievable job with, which was this one just was like, this is your one person that you really give a crap about. And we're going to send them out all over the place. And the other one was like, as we go along there's more people we care about and every room is something different so just a crazy crazy unbelievable job um not even to mention the score which i know that we have more to say about for sure and that's a great point you make too about like this one lead character

Starting point is 00:08:30 that we follow throughout that again we are so emotionally attached to but also too i think it's something i love especially in action films i think i always go back like the crescendo for me I assume you've seen Die Hard or no. Yeah, but again, so long ago. So long ago. Anyway, these are all movies that I watched like when my brother had them on when I was young. But yes, I have seen Die Hard. Just the point I'm trying to make is I love, like the first Die Hard for instance, I think why that movie is so damn good.

Starting point is 00:08:58 Like John McLean, a character we all love, obviously. But he's put into an impossible situation, even though he's such a badass. By the time like the movie's over, you're like, okay, this was so satisfying. But at the same time when you're in it, The stakes are always high. You're like, how is he supposed to get out of the situation? And every time he does, again, it's done in such a satisfying way that you just feel so endeared to the character. I got to rewatch that movie.

Starting point is 00:09:25 Oh, that'd be a great one for you to rewatch. Yeah, I don't remember anything. Yeah, that'd be a great. Except for Nakatomi Plaza. Oh, yeah. No, you're so good to rewatch that. Because I drive by it all the time. Oh, was it 20th century fox or used to be 20th century fox.

Starting point is 00:09:37 But, yeah, just in general, I love characters because they feel so. vulnerable like that anything can have even if we know like oh they're going to probably survive but in the moment you always feel scared for them and that grounds it even know if he was going to survive i really didn't either in the moment like especially when like that guy in the kitchen scene with the two knives i really didn't know and just like all the impossible because he might have done so much damage that he ends up going upstairs and then he dies anyway like i was like i don't know that he's going to make it out of yeah true again it just made him it made the film feel more grounded and also it just made the character feel more vulnerable I don't even know that he didn't die at the end when he's having that exchange and he says I'm done for all we know they I don't think that's what happened but just saying like we didn't even see him get home to his wife and kid that's kind of why I made that

Starting point is 00:10:23 that line when I said I was like I wanted to see him just because I first of all because he's been through so much hell up to this point and I wanted to see after pink undercover for two years and everything else he's had to go through but also too like it kind of felt ambiguous but I'm just again in my own mind

Starting point is 00:10:41 I'm assuming that let him go because he did all their dirty work. Like they were there to take out that gang. And he took them all out pretty much. So I'm assuming they let him go. Yeah, I think so too. But he also can identify them. There are a lot of loose ends in this. You know, we don't know what ends up happening with the cops who claimed that his family

Starting point is 00:11:00 was safe, but we don't really know there. We don't know what ends up happening with the family of people that are there at the end that show up to get everybody that he's exchanging words with that's on mute when we're just and all we hear from him saying is I'm done I don't want this uh we don't know what happened with his wife and kid and we don't actually know that his injuries aren't life ending so they're fatal there is a lot that's ambiguous which was the reason I was like is there a rate three that's a good point you make yeah I'm I'm really fearful of that too again that's why I'm just hoping in my own mind he ended up with his happily ever after but I do think that it's kind of cool that's ambiguous because

Starting point is 00:11:38 of that because i'm just going to choose to believe what that ends up happening is that exchange goes i'm done they say well thank you for doing all this have a good one he leaves goes to hospital like you said um hospital calls his you know wife uh you know he has these injuries that he got from as he claims maybe a car accident or whatever uh the car accident stabbed him many times and shot him in the abdomen and there's no car anywhere to show for it right um and then she comes and then unlike the long hair guy who's the second movie

Starting point is 00:12:10 he did but as a different character who never got to end up seeing his kid again we have the opposite ending here where he gets to now he's completely done and he gets to be a family man

Starting point is 00:12:21 and live his life and the cop says to him you did your duty good enough and that's what I'm going to choose believe happens in his life yeah there were definitely parallels there because one obviously like you said

Starting point is 00:12:33 he wanted to get back to his child could never do it then I'm hoping our guy did get to, but I definitely did feel the similarities and the parallels in that. I'm so glad we got that actor back out again. Of course, he's playing a totally different character, but I recognize him from other things, though. I'm curious.

Starting point is 00:12:50 The only other thing I've seen him in was Force Awakens, which I have not watched in such a long time, but I do remember, you know, when Hans- No, I feel like a TV show is what I'm thinking of, but I'm not sure I'll love. You're probably right because of the 120 TV shows you watch a year, so you probably recognize and something but yeah no uh trying to think what else just again score oh the cinematography i mean this we could kind of gush about a lot of things so his name is yayan uh rohean and let's see um like you said star wars raid john wick three he was in johnwick three god it's been a while since i saw the third i'd have to i i just need a rewatch of the whole

Starting point is 00:13:31 oh he was in boy kills world that's what i was thinking of it's not a show it's a movie that i watched that if you haven't seen that it was really interesting ever soon um came out in 2023 uh he was in that he's been in a ton of things and say he gets around yeah i mean when you can fight like that that he really really incredible say yeah you're gonna get more three he was shinobi number two in which movie in johnwick three yeah does that mean anything no no okay um yep Star Wars. So he, he was in that. The other guys, too, especially when they started speaking English, I was like, oh, so are they in any American films? Like, I'm curious about Pretty Boy. Yeah, he spoke pretty good English there. Yeah, he, I mean, perfectly. Pretty Boy. It seems like

Starting point is 00:14:22 he has only been in, oh, no, those are upcoming, 27 movies. Only 27. God, if only we could be so lucky. Nothing that I know of, though.

You were saying we were talking about how did, I made the comment, how did they film these action

Starting point is 00:15:43 sequences? And you're like, I just did an action. So let me tell you about that. I can't tell you anything about this, obviously, except to say that. I just filmed my first action movie, which you guys, I can't wait for you guys, check me out. And starring Kate Beck and Sale, who I think is an unbelievable action star. And I was lucky enough to be on set for several different action sequences, which was wild and like kind of a dream come true.

Starting point is 00:16:10 So during my downtime, I would sit at my down, like after I'd be done with hair and makeup, I would pick the brains of the stunt people and watch them kind of rehearsing. And I started asking them about their process because I don't know, do you have any friends that are stunt people? Yeah, so just really quick, and I want to get back to your story, when I was living about 10, 15 years ago at the house I was living at, the person across my street, his name is Steve Paterny. He's really big stunt guy in the business. So I spoke to him a lot about stunt where he did some crazy stunts in the business and diehard, he did some major stunts and then lots of other films. You probably know significantly more than I do. I never really have spent time talking to stunt people before. And so I was like, and there was crazy stunt sequences in the movie that I'm doing. It's from the director who did the Netflix series one shot. If you guys saw those movies, one shot and one more shot, they're unbelievable action movies. But anyway, this is a full-blown action movie, and I can't give anything away about what the action sequences were, but there was a lot of different moving parts to them. And so the second they got in, I'm watching them do everything, and it's like perfect. And I was like, wait, what?

Starting point is 00:17:18 Like, how are you? And they're like, oh, we have been for three months already. Like, they already had to be meeting, prepping. choreographing, you know, like, so that the timing of everything was perfect. There was so much that went into it. It's not just like showing up and then figuring it out, kind of like, you know, a lot of times what actors do is we show up and we rehearse and figure it out and then you film. It's like putting on a play where there's rehearsal, rehearsal, and a lot of them

Starting point is 00:17:47 have worked, and I'm sure in this, a lot of them have worked together for a billion different movies. So they already have kind of a rapport, which is. I guarantee if we look up the raid to stunt people, I guarantee they are, a lot of them already have a report together and know what each other can do and like how to assist each other.

Starting point is 00:18:06 So it was so cool to watch everything that they did and all of the preparation that goes into it. I mean, they have to put in almost more hours than almost anybody on the side. For sure. Yeah, no, you could tell like to watching this. I'm like, there's so much hard work that goes into this.

Starting point is 00:18:23 Like, and that's why I have such a deep appreciation for stunt people in which I'm so grateful and I've been begging for years for the Academy to do stunt this. But how sad? After Tom Cruise has done all the mission possible, after Jackie Chan is in his prime. And everybody who's deserved it for the last 50 years.

Starting point is 00:18:41 I'm hoping some of those people get... Yeah, for sure. And I'm hoping some of those people like Jackie Chan, like Tom Cruise, get an honorary type of award. I'm hoping they will. I mean, they do honorary awards at the Academy. Also, too, Roxy, I will say this. like Gareth Evans in these two movies, his direction, absolutely pristine, phenomenally, such an

Starting point is 00:19:02 incredible director. What else is he done? I don't know, but as you're looking that up, I will say this, I'm, I wouldn't, I don't think I would want him doing a studio film just because he's not going to have that same creative control. And that would be my greatest fear if he, like, like a John Wick movie, you wouldn't want to see him do? I mean, obviously I would love to see him do it. I'm just, my biggest fear would be the studio saying, you can't do this. you can't like I would want him doing his thing you know what I mean that would be my of course I would want him to do an American film of course but that'd be my greatest fear okay so he did his first movie is a movie called

Starting point is 00:19:35 footsteps Maranto the raid VHS 2 the raid to previs action apostle and gangs of London and he's got two movies coming up and one of them is havoc I did not realize he was doing havoc that's the Tom Hardy movie that's coming out oh makes sense why we're doing I'm doing this right now. Okay, algorithm. So I guess that's an American film, I assume, if Tom Hardy is in it. Yeah, it's a new Netflix movie, Havoc.

Starting point is 00:20:03 I believe that Coy and Greg are covering that here. All right. Well, we'll see how it comes out. I now can't wait to watch that movie. I love Tom Hardy. I've heard nothing but amazing things about him. And Gareth Evans is now... That's a great combo, I think, to get putting together.

Starting point is 00:20:18 Yeah. I'm also curious because I believe Gareth Evans is a... I'm an American guy. I'm curious, does he speak? This was Indonesian? I believe so, yeah. I'm curious. The short, okay, so this says that he directed a short that was in the Japanese language.

Starting point is 00:20:42 Wow. I wonder or I wonder kind of whether he wrote everything in English and then they translated it or what. I'd be curious to know. What are you looking at? So I know you don't like to play this game. I won't ask you the question. I'll just read it out loud. I love fun facts.

Starting point is 00:20:56 I just don't like trivia. That's fun. Not going to give you trivia. Do you want me to give you trivia? No, no. Well, I mean, we can do trivia in a sense. Because I know you love trivia. You can look up the trivia, but I'm just going to read this out instead of asking you.

Starting point is 00:21:07 Okay, tell me. So the film on Rotten Tomatoes got, the film on Rotten Tomatoes got an 83% from the critics. Okay. And it also got an 87 from the fans. Can I tell you that I don't think that's high enough? I think it should have gotten higher, too, between you and I. 83 from the critics? So you're telling me 17.

Starting point is 00:21:25 percent of critics gave this a rotten? They said they didn't they gave it a negative review. That's crazy. Right. And then this upsets me a great deal.

Starting point is 00:21:36 This film worldwide made $6,566,9166 worldwide. Was it in theaters? Did it get a theatrical release? I think it did. What's the budget of it? I can look that up right now. I mean, it looked like a major budget movie.

Starting point is 00:21:54 Yeah. I'm going to. I'm going to look at both budgets, but let's start with the first one. The Rade 2 budget, $4.5 million. That's crazy. This looked like a 20, this looked like a $40 million movie minimum. Seriously. I mean, it really did.

Starting point is 00:22:06 It reminded me of the first Terminator film where that movie had like a $6 million budget. And it felt like such a like a $20, $30 million budget. Dude, that's crazy. That is crazy. That's absolutely crazy. Okay, so do you want me to give you, do you want me to find some trivia for you? Yeah, that'd be great. All right.

Starting point is 00:22:20 Let's do it. And the first raid, by the way, 1.1 million budget. That's crazy, too. That's crazy, too. But that one kind of checks out a little bit more. Right. One location. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:22:29 And also, like, less characters because of that. This had... So many. So many. Okay, so... Oh, I'm on Gareth Evans' trivia. That's not what we wanted to do. We want to do, read, too.

Starting point is 00:22:40 If you guys are like my friend, Andrew, and you love trivia, then this will be a fun part for you. If you're like me, just take it instead of trivia, just think of it more as just fun things for you to learn. Okay. All the punches and kicks to the body. of the actors were real. Eko Ewez

Starting point is 00:22:59 and the other fighters had to learn how to control their speed and strength so it would look real on camera. That's so difficult, dude. Wow. The final epic kitchen scene

Starting point is 00:23:07 took, okay, how many days? I'm going to ask you to film. You said days. I'm going to go. And contains 195 shots and is a favorite

Starting point is 00:23:14 of the director of the good. There's a favorite of ours. Yeah. I knew it was days because I knew after watching what it took

Starting point is 00:23:20 for one stunt on the movie that I was doing. I was like, oh my God, I did not realize how long. That scene was so long. I'm going to go, I'm going to go extra long on this one.

Starting point is 00:23:29 I'm going to go three weeks. It was, wow, that's crazy. I don't know if the shoot was three weeks. It was eight days. Okay. Eight days were the one scene. That's crazy. Think about the continuity and stuff.

Starting point is 00:23:40 Yeah. Wow. That's still eight days is a lot. Okay. How long do you think it took Gareth Evans to design that fight? The kitchen fight? The final fight. So I'm guessing that's the kitchen fight.

Starting point is 00:23:51 Oh, three months? Six weeks. you're overshooting. It takes place two hours after the first film ended and then two years later. So two hours after. So the first scene where the

Starting point is 00:24:04 they grabbed the brother was a few hours later. Wow. Yeah. Okay. Let's see. When they shot the fight scenes, shooting,

Starting point is 00:24:13 when they shot the fight scene, shooting would have to halt mid scene for about 20, 30 minutes each time for the makeup artist to create damage on their faces, et cetera, for continuity purposes,

Starting point is 00:24:23 I can only imagine. Yeah, and I got to say, too, we mentioned it while we were reacting to it. This is the makeup department really, and the squibs too. I'm really nailed in this. The practical effects were incredible. This is the first Indonesian film to reach the IMDB top 250 list. It's now left the list, but it was the first to reach it. That's pretty cool.

Starting point is 00:24:43 It should be still up there. But that's pretty cool. But still incredible. Yeah, it's awesome. Okay. I want to get to some of the spoiler ones. Let me see if I can find any of them on here. There are so many random facts on here.

Starting point is 00:24:56 I'm like still scrolling. The word police has been seen on one of the prison trucks is Swahili for police. Interesting. In all of Bejo's scenes, he is only shown to lose control of himself twice at the beginning of the movie when he is talking to Andy and near the end when he's dining with Uco, the commissioner Reza. It's interesting to note that in both of these instances, after he loses control of himself before quickly regaining it, at least one major. character is killed by a shotgun shortly afterwards. In the first instance, after he regains control and says a few more

Starting point is 00:25:30 words to Andy, one of his men executes Andy with a pump shotgun. In the second instance, a little while after Bejo, maybe it's Bejo, and I'm saying it like it's in Spanish, I don't know, picks up his dropping, walking cane, off the floor, resumes eating with

Starting point is 00:25:46 Uco and Reza after his brief outburst, attempts to throw a shotgun to Reza to defend him against Rama when he breaks in before instead caught by Uco who proceeds to kill both Reza and Beho with it. That's an interesting attention to detail

Starting point is 00:26:01 because, again, the first part felt so long ago. I didn't remember that. What do you think the body count is in this? Oh, I mean, I've been off so far and everything. I'm going to go 150. 327. Wow. I wasn't even close. What would you have guessed

Starting point is 00:26:17 before you read that? man i really don't know um because it was so many that's why it was like i think i would have gone way lower i think i would have said like 50 yeah because if but that it makes sense that it's 327 um this is interesting i don't know that i picked up on this throughout the entire movie rama does not kill one person with a gun oh wow yeah that's a good point yeah i definitely did not because i think in the day in the first i can't remember But that's another cool point. I didn't even realize that.

Starting point is 00:26:52 Yeah. Obviously, I love the John Wick movies. I love the Bourne movies. I love, I love big action movies like that. Love Mission Impossible. But I do think there is something about when you eliminate the majority of guns, when it's not just all gun fights, it is really cool to watch people, actually. I totally agree with you.

Starting point is 00:27:12 On the episode aired on September 25th, 2016 of The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, Any guesses on which actor said Raid 2 is his favorite movie? Oh, boy. Tom Cruise. You want one more hint? One more hit. Which MCU actor? MCU.

Starting point is 00:27:33 Robert Downey Jr.? Samuel L. Jackson. Damn. I would have never guessed as Samuel L. Jackson. Because I said MCU. It's not what you think of him as. Is that why? No, I just wouldn't have guessed for Samuel Jackson.

Starting point is 00:27:48 But that's cool. During and throughout filming, Gareth Evans edited shots and sequence on his laptop. It's just like, that's crazy. Damn. For the car chase scene, roads had to be cleared from 6 a.m.

Starting point is 00:28:00 until 6 p.m. What? They cleared the roads for 12 hours? That's crazy. Preparation for the fight scenes in Raid 2 took 18 months, excluding the completed choreography made before Raid 1. I believe that.

Starting point is 00:28:13 Me too. Me too. I mean, the amount of prep for this, Julia Estelle has zero background in martial arts and she had to learn Silat from Basic for six months before she started shooting for fight scenes. I'm assuming that's our class. I'm assuming the hammer girl, right?

Starting point is 00:28:28 That's what I have to assume. Yeah, because she's the only woman we saw fighting. Yeah, that's wild. There's a lot more on IMDB if you guys want to go on here. Yeah, we would continue, but we've been here quite a bit long. Yeah, all of that. This is a really great one. I absolutely loved it.

Starting point is 00:28:44 Yeah. Couldn't have loved it more. Seriously. And thank you guys for allowing us to watch this because you watched our Raid 1 review. What else should the jujacks do next? Yeah. Apologies also for all my oh my God moments, but this movie had, well, I know, but there's a time when you say something so much. It becomes a little tedious, Roxy.

Starting point is 00:29:04 No, I don't think so. What do you think was up with the star of David? I don't know. That's a good question because the guy had one tattoo like the main bat or the guy with the glasses. okay and then he had the it did look like the star of David so it was so I'm not sure maybe he's just Jewish and he was just proud of his religion just but I don't know yeah I don't know I just literally like what are we supposed to take it at maybe nothing just was there the way it is but let us know what you want us to cover next we love hearing from you guys and we

Starting point is 00:29:34 appreciate you going on this journey with us we'll see you later rejects room we would want to raid it would be your room buddy think of all the things in there so many things start listing things that you would find in fleb that are very specifically to flev the other things you know about flev would have a pineapple in his room he knows why he knows why it would be hidden somewhere in the back to love to a pineapple does that's where i was going with that it's the perfect dimensions you just hollow out the bottom you know you got a handle on top yeah i didn't think about that that's brilliant perfect you should probably upgrade and get some new pineapples. It's been the same pineapple for the past couple years. Yeah, it's got to be, I mean, I'm surprised any of it's left, honestly. It's a pretty

Starting point is 00:30:22 impressive pineapple. Did you know that if you eat pineapple, it, that would be going too far for this shoutout. But Google. There are a lot of things that I happen when you eat a pineapple. Google it. And then what else would we find? We would find, uh, uh, some Marvel underreuse that he wears. That's very good, John. It's like, little pictures of like this is better than i expected it to go and thor and what else would you find i would also find uh the uh like the sheet music to the romanian national anthem that's brilliant man definitely because he was very patriotic guy i would also find a uh a big clock necklace because flev is uh flavor flave impersonator okay yeah this is not something i knew about him uh what else would you

Starting point is 00:31:13 Uh, every season of psych on Blu-ray. That lines up more than the flavor of play clock thing. Definitely does. What else would you find? Um, a door in the wall. And the shout-out ends there. Perfect spot. You want to find the right funny button. And that's the one right there. A cherry.

Starting point is 00:31:32 Smashed to black. Smashed to black.
