Starting point is 00:02:09 Talking about guns with others might not always feel comfortable, but it could save a life. Here's a way to start a conversation. Your family is going over to your neighbor's home for dinner for the first time. How would you ask if there are any unlocked guns in the home? Hey. Hey, we're so excited for tonight. Before we come over, though, may I ask if there are any unlocked guns? guns in your home. Our guns are stored securely, locked in a safe that the kids can't access.

Today on This Is Important? Hair of new shoes and wooden dildos. It's a wet dream for men everywhere. Why are you getting so rock hard talking about his mustache?
Starting point is 00:03:11 Buckle up. Oh, yeah, man. Coming in. We're back. Good morning. TIAI.I. Nation. Oh, it is a good morning for us. This is a squirly early one.
Starting point is 00:03:25 For us, it's not that early, though. Now that we're all dads, I feel like this isn't even that early no more. This is midday. But Adam, and you'll learn this, Adam, you'll learn this. This is the like you just dropped the kids off at school and now you're back home and maybe you crawl back in bedtime. Oh, or just crank because you've got the house to yourself. Well, that's the kind of, you crawl back in bed and close her eyes. Somehow you find your laptop, you open it with your eyes closed.
Starting point is 00:03:53 With your eyes closed. Your hand finds. You place it right on your chest. It warms you. Honey, I'm sleep jerking here. Or you just mysteriously just... Oh, boy. You go to another land.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Go into another dimension. You throw on your Oculus. Yeah. I'm watching a soccer game in Ecuador right now, Beth. I'm going to come. What, honey? I have to jerk off to... Two.
Starting point is 00:04:24 When I'm playing the dancing game on the Oculus. Honey. And she's like, oh, cool. What's the name of the dancing game? Fuck it. Porn. Red step orgy. It's called step sister in a racial orgy.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Who's playing the stepsisters versus the stepfather? Stepmoms versus the. Oh, oh, oh. Oh. Versus the Chorgoth. I'm so bad at lying. I'm so bad at lying. She buys it where she goes,
Starting point is 00:04:57 that sounds cool. That's cool. Wow, how inclusive interracial step sisters? Chloe wouldn't care at all. I, uh, have you guys ever had a girlfriend or? No. That was bothered by you jerking off? Uh, what do you mean?
Starting point is 00:05:19 Like, in her presence or? Well, yeah. I mean, no one wants to be just jerked off or in the kitchen when you're fucking putting some cream cheese on the bagel. Your Weinstein, you mean like knowing that you jerk off sometimes? Is this what you're saying? Yes. No, I've seen online that people are like... Two minutes in, we're already getting to it. I've seen online where girls are like my husband or boyfriend or whatever was a porn addict and he was jerking off all the time and it was ruining our family. And then it's, like, later, him being like, yeah, life is so much better. And then it's, like, shows him, like, playing pickleball or whatever.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Right. He's got to grip something. I think this is my algorithm is, like, telling me, like, hey, man, maybe you're, maybe you're cranking down too much. Maybe get outside. I have yet to see that, so. You know, I've known, I've had friends that are, like, high school friends that they're, suddenly they're like, yeah, I don't jerk off anymore. And I'm like, say what now?
Starting point is 00:06:17 Yeah. And I know it's because that they're girlfriends or why. In that case, it was a wife. They put the clamp down. Said she didn't like him drinking out that much. I mean... Well, there's levels to this shit. There's levels to this shit, first of all.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Right, but like, let's just be clear here. Let's be clear. Yeah, let's let's, maybe we need to explain men's rights. I would love it. This is what this podcast is about. And this shit is right. Uh-huh. You don't like me jacking off.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Sorry. That's life. Oh, that's it? That's it? Yeah, dude. Sorry. Well said. And then you just close the door slowly.
Starting point is 00:06:58 I'll be in here. Sorry. Oops. Sorry. Did I do that? Why do you think I'd take four 45 minute long shits every day? By the way, Blake, I think Blake either said this or tweeted it. But you said this like 10 years ago.
Starting point is 00:07:13 When it was, you hear like the Apple like volume going, dook, do, do, do. Going down, you know your roommate's about to go to town. that's true I liked the rhyme to that too so accurate when the apple volume volume is going down
Starting point is 00:07:27 you know your roommate's going to town click click click click absolutely there's your t-shirt I mean what the term is flummoxed the thing that I think people girls
Starting point is 00:07:40 or even boyfriends need to realize it ain't about you thank you it ain't about you this is called self-care yeah they don't like you watching the pornos And I think that's
Starting point is 00:07:52 You think it's jealousy. If you were just jerking off and you're just using your brain. But I would say even using your brain might be worse because then Worse. Worse. Because then you have to think about ex-girlfriends or things from your past.
Starting point is 00:08:07 You're not inventing characters. Actually, hang on a second. Blake, is that what you're doing? I'm building a world. It's like weird science every time. Yeah. You turn on that song to check off. It's like, weird.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Weird science. What are you doing in there? Checking nothing, cradling balls. I know you're not watching the Weird science series from the sci-fi channel. There's no way. Blake, you got a cue up that weird science song. That was on USA. Oh, was it?
Starting point is 00:08:41 My bad. My bad. I just want to make sure nobody slides in your DMs talking about it. Weird science. Yeah, okay, well, good. I'm glad we're not like that. Because Chloe actively doesn't care. She'll pretend like she doesn't know.
Starting point is 00:08:56 I dare you to jerk off right now. She'll pretend like she doesn't know that I'm jerking off sometimes. Like the other day. That's actually above and beyond. Why is she doing that? I'm not seeing this. I dusted this boy off. Charged it up.
Starting point is 00:09:14 It's a boy, huh? Yeah, it's a boy. He helps. Come sit on my face here, boy. He helps me. And you're holding up the Oculus Rift, by the way, for all our listeners. There's no lock to my office door. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Okay. Can we work on that? Did you go like 1950s and like put the chair under the knob? No, but I have a tiny step stool that I rest my feet on under my desk. Okay. And I put that and my backpack in front of the door. Oh, nice. I've never done before.
Starting point is 00:09:47 Okay. Never done. I've never done that. So you barricaded the door. I'm starting to figure out why she pretends to. She's like, I'm hearing furniture move upstairs. I got to pretend. Adam has stacked up dressers and tables of the door.
Starting point is 00:10:03 And Chloe is just shoulder checking the door like, I know what you're doing in there. He's just fortified. No, she would be like, I don't know what you're doing in there. This is totally fine. This is fine. Why is the dresser in front of the door? Uh, and then, and, but then I'm like, she knocked. Here's Chloe.
Starting point is 00:10:22 But the, the, the, the, the sounds emanated from this. You okay in there? It doesn't sound that loud when you're outside of the little Oculus world. Sure. But in the Oculus world, it's, it's, it's pretty all-encompassing. Sure. Compessing. Oh, hey, hey, hey, you got some points.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Yes, points. Thank you. Thank you. God, dear God, I've been so long since I've got, that was a good one, too. Pissing, uh, sitting there. So I ripped the headset off. I go, she's like, what is all this French rub? I'm like, I don't even know.
Starting point is 00:10:50 I got it. I was just rearranging, so I don't know. And you're embarrassed, right? You're a little embarrassed. There's load all over your hand. Yeah. Your tail is tucked between your legs. Or not.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Your hand covered in your own spit. This is disgusting. Goodbye. To your mind. But then I had the, I had the goggle mark just on my head. The goggle? Goggle. Oh.
Starting point is 00:11:16 I was just a skiing, honey. You do it outside. Your sunburnt as an oculus rink. Do it outside. Do it outside. That's the most insane place to do it. Feel the breeze. You look like you just got done snowboarding for five days.
Starting point is 00:11:31 You're just blasted. Yeah, it was bad. And then she acted like nothing. She's like, oh, okay, well. Should have said it. I was going to ask you about this scomps. I was going to ask you of what preschool you thought Poe should go to, but I'll come back to it. Yeah, I'll put a pin on that.
Starting point is 00:11:47 I'll circle back. You know what? Yeah. I'm a circle back. I'm going to circle back EOD. Adam, the way you're painting it in your household, I'm starting to see why she has to pretend. It's okay. Because it seems like it's like midday when people are in the house.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Well, it wasn't people. It was just Chloe. Right. There's not. Yeah. Yeah. Well, what am I? She's always here.
Starting point is 00:12:12 There's no getting away. Oh, yeah. She doesn't go anywhere. Very shagadding. Welcome to the husband. You know what you got to do for Christmas or whatever you guys celebrate? Christmas. Whatever denomination.
Starting point is 00:12:25 You can say Christmas. You can say Christmas, dude. No, but I don't know what you celebrate. I'm not really sure. You do know what I celebrate. You do. You've known me for like 25 years at this point. We find out Ders refuses to say Christmas.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Yeah. X-Miss is one of my favorite holidays. Let's put the price back in Christmas, please. All right, this is weird. You get passes where you're. you're like, you can hand her, like, hour long, go hit the road, go to Starbucks. Right. Tickets.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Oh, you hit the road pass. I hit the road pass. Okay. So it's like, honey, she gives you 20 of those. You know what? Christmas is around the corner. This is a great gift idea from Durs. Yeah, this is a great gift.
Starting point is 00:13:04 And whatever you celebrate. And the road is, like, hit the bricks. And the gift is get out of the house. Take your ass to Starbucks car. They're saying here, I'm giving you. 20, tell me to go's so you can... I give you permission to leave the house so you don't
Starting point is 00:13:22 have to listen to me, bang myself. Oh, so it's a gift idea for me. Yeah, no, she gives it to you to give back to her. I know it sounds very confusing. Yeah, yeah. Now I understand it. But it's worked for 10 years in my house. Does it? Do you do something like that?
Starting point is 00:13:38 No, that'd be foul. Yeah, that's crazy. I think it's simple. They're called hit the road jacks, honey. Hit the road jack off. There's something there. I remember a girlfriend No points Many, many, many, many, many moons ago She gave me like a little booklet
Starting point is 00:13:54 Of like sex coupons And like you could It was like throughout the year You get 20 blowjob Coupons But then I just use them I would like stack them up Where I was doing multiple a day

What have I done?

Starting point is 00:17:02 You know what he's celebrating. This is a big. Happy holidays. Yeah, probably Christmas more than likely. Happy holiday, though. Yeah, I'm wonder if Twister, that's, sort of set off the where we are today
Starting point is 00:17:16 we're just I'm putting it on Oculus Rifts to jerk off midday all because of Twister that's son of a bitch it all goes back set us down a path of a total perversion real man a genius
Starting point is 00:17:27 I just want to keep you know pushing this oh please push it really they do say that as soon as cameras or like movie cameras were invented porno was like right there they were like
Starting point is 00:17:41 okay dokey we're taking pictures of naked chicks almost immediately. It was like a horse running and then it was like a naked chick belly dancing. Yeah. Yep. Absolutely. I've seen that footage. It's still goes. It's in the
Starting point is 00:17:57 retro category. It still goes. It's still slaps. It still slaps, dude, as the kids say. Still fucking slaps. I think a decade ago. Do that? Yeah. Yeah, I feel like I've lost the thread on what kids have said. It still slaps as young dads says. Yeah. Still slaps. It's dadcore now.
Starting point is 00:18:14 That's kind of cool. Our sling is just dadcore. Speaking of dadcore, your stash is darker. Are you dying it for the movie? Well, I mean, I took a shower, but it's just, it's fucking. Okay. And what do you think that might have done? It's just thick.
Starting point is 00:18:31 I haven't shaved it in a long time. But they do fill it in a little bit up here. Okay. So that is, I remember the last time you had a mustache, it was much blonder looking. thought? Maybe not. I also think that when's the last time I saw you, two weeks ago? Yeah. This is a lot of, bro, my mustache grows
Starting point is 00:18:50 fast now. Well, is it because you shaved? Because you had a mustache for a long time. Right. And then remember I went... And it did not ever look like that. That's true. That is true. And I doubt you ever trimmed it or did any sort of maintenance other than keeping it out of your mouth. Yeah, okay. Fair enough. Adam
Starting point is 00:19:06 is coming for you. Hello. No, no, no. I'm just... Adam wants answers now. I'm pissed now. No, because I would, dude, I won a mustache. And you remember how my mustache grew, where it grew here, here, but right here. On your birthday, I almost posted that picture. And then I was like, you're opening a door that does not maybe open. It was, it was blonde.
Starting point is 00:19:26 It was like, or no, no, it was blonde down here, but dark in the middle. So when the light hit just right, in person, it didn't look like that. But then in photographs, it looked like I had a Hitler stash. Every photo looked like it. Yes. It was rough. And I went on tour with it. When I was morbidly obese with the Hitler stash, it was a bad time in my life.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Well, you had the sideburns to kind of balance it, so it was kind of like hillbilly Hitler. It was interesting. Yeah. It was really interesting. That's kind of what pulled it all together. If I didn't have those sideburns and I was just a fat Hitler, that's depressing. That's depressing. Well, okay.
Starting point is 00:20:03 So I'm wondering for, in the case of your mustache, I'm wondering if I were to, since I did that, should I grow it out, shave it, grow it out, shave it? And then I can get to where you're at? It's possible. Now that you are a father, I feel like Dad Stash, Dad Stash is a real thing. Okay. I think you... Can I tell you something? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:22 I'm shaving mine. Whoa. You're out of here. I kept it on yesterday for like a tape I sent in an audition, but I'm shaving it. And they're like, God damn. No, no, I just... I saved it for that because I'm supposed to be like in the 70s or something, but I'm like, I'm like, cut shaved it.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Goddard. Are you the inventor of... Are you the inventor of Twister in this movie? Yeah. I'm saying. Okay. I will say, though, I think in this season of, like, sicknesses and colds and blowing your nose. Can't have it.
Starting point is 00:20:52 Can't. The boogers in the mustache. It's a thing. Yeah. It's a thing. It's a thing. It's a genuine thing. It's a real thing.
Starting point is 00:21:01 And also, do you get all kinds of food in it? A little bit. Yeah. Like, when you taste, you're like, you go to lick your lips and you taste your mustache. a little bit and it tastes like what you ate for lunch or whatever. You know what really stays? The smell. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:17 The smell. If you like have anything dairy or like eat a piece of pie with whipped cream, oh man, that shit curdles in your stash. It smells like shit all day, dude. I don't fuck with that. So specific. Fucking yuck much, dude. That's my least favorite thing is having whipped cream with a mustache.
Starting point is 00:21:34 That's your least favorite thing? Yes, absolutely. The whole world. Dude, and Ders, am I off base here insane? that his mustache is bigger and more beautiful than it's ever been. Mine. Thank you. Dude, is that a combo of that?
Starting point is 00:21:48 No, no. Yours looks great. You have a grade A, Tom Selleck, elite level. You're saying, hey, Durs, isn't Blake's, got it. Hey, Durs, isn't Blake's mustache the best it's ever been? I love it. Yeah, it's good. Well, here's why, here's one of the reasons that is standing out to you.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Showbiz. I'm completely shaven everywhere else. It's just my must. everywhere else and i took it all the way down it's for the roll it's got a mustache up top and bottom it's for the bottom i am clean-shaven everywhere else yeah said right under my nose yeah that helps yeah when you shave everything else it accentuates it yeah no it looks strong looks wide thank you and you guys know i was coming from a a very shaven place, as you made fun of my face without a mustache a few weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Didn't like it. Yeah. It really threw me off. A lot of people didn't like it. You're a handsome gentleman. Okay, thank you. God damn, my boy. Yeah, in certain circles.
Starting point is 00:22:51 In certain circles. Okay. Adam, to be fair, though, Adam has not been able to jack off in about six hours. In some circles, the Arctic circles, where there are no humans. The Arctic Circle, you are. That's a good one. Yeah, that's points. That's a good one.
Starting point is 00:23:07 In some circles, the Arctic Circle, you are good-looking. Yes, points! May 24, 1990, a pipe bomb explodes in the front seat of environmental activist Judy Berry's car. I knew it was a bomb the second that it exploded. I felt it ripped through me with just a force more powerful and terrible than anything that I could describe. In season two of Rip Current, We ask, who tried to kill Judy Berry and why? She received death threats before the bombing.
Starting point is 00:23:44 She received more threats after the bombing. The man and woman who were heard had planned to lead a summer of militant protest against logging practices in Northern California. They were climbing trees and they were sabotaging logging equipment in the woods. The timber industry, I mean, it was the number one industry in the area, but more than it was the culture. It was the way of life. I think that this is a deliberate attempt to sabotage our movement.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Episodes of Rip Current Season 2 are available now. Listen on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. For 25 years, I've explored what it means to heal, not just for myself, but alongside others. I'm Mike Delocho. This is Sacred Lessons, a space for reflection, growth, and collective healing. What do you tell men that are hurting right now? Everything's going to be okay on the other side, you know, just push through it.
Starting point is 00:24:41 And, you know, ironically, the root of the word spirit is breath. Wow. Which is why one of the most revolutionary acts that we can do as people just breathe. Next to the wound is their gifts. You can't find your gifts unless you go through the wound. That's the hard thing. You think, well, I'm going to get my guess. I don't want to go through all that.
Starting point is 00:25:00 You gotta go through the wounds you're laughing. Listening to other people's near-death experiences, and it's all they say in conclusion. In conclusion, love is the answer. Listen to Sacred Lessons as part of the My Goutura Podcast Network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, I'm Kelly, and some of you may know me as Laura Winslow.
Starting point is 00:25:23 And I'm Telma, also known as Aunt Rachel. If those names ring a bell, then you probably are familiar with the show that we were both on back in the 90s called Family Matters. Kelly and I have done a lot of things and played a lot of roles over the years. But both of us are just so proud to have been part of Family Matters. Did you know that we were one of the longest running sitcoms with the black cast?
Starting point is 00:25:43 When we were making the show, there were so many moments filled the joy and laughter and cut up that I will never forget. Oh, girl, you got that right. The look that you all give me is so black. All black people know about the look. On each episode of Welcome to the Family, we'll share personal reflections about making the show. Yeah, we'll even bring in part of the cast. some other special guests to join in the fun and spill some tea. Listen to Welcome to the Family with Telma and Kelly on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Hi, Dr. Lori Santos from the Happiness Lab here. It's the season of giving, which is why my podcast is partnering with Give Directly, a nonprofit that provides people in extreme poverty with the cash they need. This year, we're taking part in the Pods Fight Poverty campaign, and it's not just the Happiness Lab. Some of my favorite podcasters are also taking part. Think Jay Shetty from On Purpose, Dan Harris from 10% Happier, and Dave Desteno from How God Works, and more. Our goal this year is to raise $1 million, which will help over 700 families in Rwanda living in extreme poverty. Here's how it works. You donate to give directly, and they put that cash directly into the hands of families in need.

Starting point is 00:27:33 I'm Ashley Reifeld, and I'm the host of the women's skateboarding podcast. Good luck with that. Good luck with that is a skateboarding podcast that is part cultural record, part news brief, mostly group therapy, and a place to talk about the past, present, and future of women and gender expansive skateboarding. This week, me and my co-host, Nora Vasconcellos, and Alex White, we have Fabiana Delfino on the show, a professional skateboarder from Florida, whose crit was forged in a family of athletes. Tune in to hear how she broke into the boys club, what it takes to be pro, and why just being grateful you're here shouldn't be the price of entry. Maybe the industry thinks that we just started skating five years ago
Starting point is 00:28:09 because that's when they maybe started paying attention. It's a no-fluff conversation about putting in the years, stacking clips and receipts and still having to prove your worth while the industry catches up. You break down the door, sick now, like, hold the door for everyone. We created good luck with that because we want to share our experience of existing in an industry that wasn't always built for everyone. So listen to good luck with that on iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:28:36 I just got so used to you having the mustache and kind of not a great mustache. So now that you do have a good mustache, it makes me go, do I grow the bad mustache of the crew? And I'm the one with the bad mustache. I could be kind of fun. Just grow it out. Yeah, give it a shot. But Durs is shaving his, so then what's the point, you know? I'm excited for Ders to shave his.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Well, I'll pass it. I'll shave me. mine and then send it your way i love it but it is a fucking cookie duster dude you got a bigin this it makes you look a decade older than you are because there's so much white i know when your hair isn't really that white i mean you don't you have hardly any gray before you shave it can you just ferment it please please ferment it uh just forment it you want me to like comb a color into i want you to comb a color yeah why are you getting so rock hard talking about about his mustache.
Starting point is 00:29:29 I just have. You're throwing stones and glass houses here, man. Please. I need that file sent to me. Please. But what color would I comb it? Like, the one that matches me or you want me to go? Dude, full black.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Dark black, dude. Dark black. Please. Please. Dude, I feel like if you did that, you would get a call from Paul Thomas Anderson immediately, saying, There will be blood, too.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Right. You would. More blood. What's his name? What's the dude's name in the movie? Plainsview? Yeah. Oh, I pulled that out.
Starting point is 00:30:08 I think I'm right. Yeah, I think that is right. Yeah. It's a bagel. I watched that the other night. And he's like, we're doing a whole thing about drinking the milkshake. The milkshake gets in the mustache and curdles. This is a hot topic, too.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Go ahead. So I watched it. I literally watched it two nights ago because Quinn Tarantino came out with his list of favorite movies from the 21st century. Yeah. And I was like, oh, you know what? I've never seen there will be blood. I've never seen it. What the hell?
Starting point is 00:30:35 That's kind of cool. I think I've only seen, I've walked in on like people watching it. Right. And I've sat down and watched like 30 minutes chunks of it. On VR or never watched the whole thing. Okay. So I watched the whole thing. Okay.
Starting point is 00:30:49 And then you know how it is when you have a kid and you have to go to bed and you're like, God damn, now he's going to get up so early. And this movie is too late. So we stopped it. we watched the last, like, 35 minutes the next night. And in that time, that's when Quentin Tarantino came out with Paul Dano is the worst actor in SAG. He's a limp dick, loser.
Starting point is 00:31:12 He said limp dick. Yeah, he's called him a limp dick. What is the exact quote here, Todd? Find it for us. So I subscribe to the podcast. I listened to Brett East & Nelson's podcast, so I heard it. Oh, is that where he did it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:26 That's where this is all coming from, is that he showed up on Brett. Easton Ellis' podcast, The Writer of American Psycho. And he was like, we were just going to do something. But I like him. He goes, I just showed up and I've got my favorite 20 movies of the last 25 years. And Brett's like, oh. I didn't ask for that. I wish you told me.
Starting point is 00:31:46 And then I would have mine and we could have a thing. And he's like, don't worry about it. Like, let's just do this. And he's like, don't worry about it. This is my thing. But ironically, it's been like the biggest fucking thing ever because it's Quentin Tarantino, one of our greatest, saying what movies matter and what movies don't
Starting point is 00:32:02 of the last 20 years, or I should say they're his favorite, right? They're not the best. Yeah. And then he just absolutely shits on Paul Dano and Owen Wilson. Owen Wilson got it too? Oh, I didn't see that. And then Matthew Lillard. Okay, now he's irrelevant. Now he's irrelevant to me.
Starting point is 00:32:20 I'm sorry. What happened that these dudes pissed you off? That's weird. That's fucking weird You can't dunk on Lillard Dude's a fucking ledge He's our shaggy Absolutely
Starting point is 00:32:35 He's the shag man So I'm watching the movie And then I come back after hearing Quentin Tarantino Shit on him Dog on And it did kind of Effect the performance
Starting point is 00:32:45 Effect the performance for me Well yeah Then I'm watching it through Quentin Tarantino's Like hateful eyes When I thought he was doing a pretty good job Although Daniel Day Lewis is so great. He's chewing it up. You can't, who's gonna battle that?
Starting point is 00:33:00 You can't battle rap him. He's a fucking absolute monster. Oh my motherfuckin' fucking monster. So it is hard to go toe to toe. And Paul was pretty young in There Will Be Blood. Yeah. So you're like, okay, he's a kid. It's like, this is wild to dunk on him
Starting point is 00:33:16 this hard. But I never liked Paul Dano's character in There Will Be Blood. I don't know. Well, he's a really pathetic person. Yeah. Yeah. But But, like, I feel like, because I think Tarantino goes, oh, you know who'd be good is the guy Austin Butler. Austin Butler.
Starting point is 00:33:34 Okay. And so what I think he's saying is, what I think he's saying is that if. You wish just he was hotter? Yeah. I wish, yeah, he's like, I wish Paul Dana was hotter. No, I wish that character was hotter, more charismatic. Really? Because, yes, because I think what they're saying in this is that there's like people who have
Starting point is 00:33:52 natural charisma and then there's just dogs. and people who have natural charisma can get a following but you will always get eaten up by that dog and Daniel Day Lewis character is that dog who's like who needs to feel
Starting point is 00:34:09 genuinely threatened by that character by being like this little hot young guy who's got a connection to God and everyone's like going to his church I got to fucking take this guy out I see you AI when you put it in that light I do understand what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:34:25 I'm like... And I don't know who that actor is. I don't know if that's... I don't know if it's Austin Butler or not, but there is something to be said about like a good looking person who just the room... He walks in and all of a sudden the room just goes to him. Like, remember when we saw Chris Hemsworth at that party when workholics first? This is my story.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Poor back. No, no, no. We saw him together. You saw him at a house party, but I'm saying when we saw him together at... It was some like Comic-Con I think we were at Comic-Con. I think this was at the MTV Awards. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Because we were in a back room. Taylor Swift was also in that room. Hello. And they were both taller than everybody. And it was like, you guys should fuck right now. Yeah, make something. And I remember he walked in and the room like turned and sort of was just like, holy shit. Like, look at this person.
Starting point is 00:35:17 I do understand what you're saying of like, yeah, Paul Dano is not that guy. He's actually kind of an off-putting-looking person where you're like, huh, huh, huh, he looks different. But that being said, I liked his performance. And he's amazing, he's not a bad actor. He's a very good actor, I think. I do think it needed to have this, like, young, vibrant young person who just has the innate magnetic, whatever we call that,
Starting point is 00:35:49 who is genuinely threatening. It can't just be, some guy. So this is what Quentin said. He said about Paul Dano. He said he is weak sauce, man, which is hilarious. That's dad for, dude. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:04 He's weak sauce, man. He's a weak sister. Austin Butler would have been wonderful in that role. And then he's talking about Daniel Day Lewis. He goes, so you put him, Daniel Day Lewis, with the weakest male actor in SAG, the limpest dick in the world? Whoa. The limpest dick in the world.
Starting point is 00:36:20 Dude, imagine you're Paul Dano and you. wake up the next morning. You just wake up and you look at your phone and one of the biggest directors in the history of cinema just calls you the limpest dick in the world. Oh my God. It's got to be personal. That's rough. It's got to be personal or they have a or they have like a film coming out that we don't know about and this is to stir something up. It just seems so left field. Dano, Dano needs to play Tarantino in a movie now. Yeah. That would would be kind of sweet revenge. And by the way, Dano in...
Starting point is 00:36:56 Was that your Tarantino? Yeah, it's very good. It's kind of Jay Leno. After every sentence to say, all right? It's kind of Jay Leno, but I like it. Yeah. Yeah, it kind of was Jay Leno. That's the same guy to me, giant hands.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Dano in Escape at Dan Amora was awesome. I also think Dano in the Batman. I thought his Riddler is fucking great, dude. He was good. And, dude, do we even need to go back to girl next door? I would love to. He was one of the other friends. That movie is the fucking best.
Starting point is 00:37:22 And I never saw the beach. Boy movie, but I know Kyle would be on here being like, oh, he was fucking great in that. I don't really need to see that. Yeah, the Beach Boy movie? I don't even know. Yeah, no, I was saying who, Kyle, but yeah. It's called Love and Mercy. Thank you. It's the Beach Boyle movie. I really want to see it. He played Brian Wilson.
Starting point is 00:37:37 And he goes, I don't like Owen Wilson. Because he liked, he named Midnight in Paris as one of his favorite 20 movies. And he goes, and, you know, I hate Owen Wilson. But I like the movie. And then I watch it again. I kind of like Owen Wilson after that. I'm like, dog. Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 00:37:54 But people are firing back on Quentin. Well, people are sort of miscasts. You see some, sometimes you watch a movie and you're like, wow, that's such a great actor, but they're so not right for this role. Yeah. Or like, and it's happening a lot nowadays where they'll cast 50-year-old actors in the roles that should be for a 35-year-old guy. Shots fired. Story-wise. Story-wise.
Starting point is 00:38:19 Yeah, where you're like, this is not the story for a 55-year-old person. Yeah, like, it's weird that you're just getting married and just talking about kids and you're 55 years old. Yeah. You're like, maybe you should have started a few years ago, bud. You're just going to college. Yeah. Tommy Lee Jones is frat boy. I think that people, and look, we know how the business is working.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Tommy Lee Jones is buying school supplies. I do love the idea of like the, it used to be reserved for people who were about 30 when they're like, I'm going to my 10-year high school anniversary or whatever. or high school reunion reunion Anthony Hopkins in the bachelor party And by the way When you're 28 Going to your 10 year
Starting point is 00:39:01 High School reunion You might have not gotten Where you want to go yet Right But when you're 50 And the movie is about you Going back to your high school reunion Ian McKellen is the bachelor
Starting point is 00:39:14 What have you not solved at 50 Well But also I mean Is that movie even funnier like everyone is just like very well established and they're like wait you guys got married and had kids and had careers fuck but it's specifically funny for that reason as opposed to the one that we all know which is like
Starting point is 00:39:33 oh fuck like I haven't gotten to where I want to be how's it gonna stack up and then you go back and there's like the rich guy who you find out at the end of the night actually didn't make he just got a fake Rolex da da da da da yeah you fuck right right you fuck hello dude we just we were on the same soccer team Here we are fucking. You're not rich. I thought you were. It's a fake Rolex. It looks real.
Starting point is 00:39:54 Patrick Stewart is the freshman. Is that the Star Trek dude? Yeah. Professor X. Beotch. Come on. Let's go. I'm pissed now. I liked him when he had a little bit of hair on the sides. Morgan Freeman is your college roommate. The roommate. Dorm days. This is what Quentin, to go back, because he said some crazy shit. He says, I'm not saying about Paul Dano in There Will Be Blood.
Starting point is 00:40:25 I'm not saying he's giving a terrible performance after he just called him the limpest dick of the world. Yeah. Huh. Okay. And he added moments later, I'm saying he's giving a non-entity performance. You lose. Worse. You're making me look up words, God damn, that's a burn.
Starting point is 00:40:42 I don't care for him. I don't care for Owen Wilson. I don't care for Matthew Lillard. what the fuck crazy crazy one two three punch what is on this dude's mind they just named blake's mount rushmore i know what the fuck yeah i mean honestly honestly uh well is it because you kind of look like all three of those guys combined yes very much so yeah absolutely what i just was he on coke like and how did you describe paul nano's looks earlier yeah sexy in some circles No, that was the off-putting.
Starting point is 00:41:16 Yeah, off-putting. Was he on Coke? What was the vibe? No, he is fully just leaning in. I mean, Adam's reading it with emphasis. He says it with emphasis. And just like flippantly like, yeah, you know, and I don't like this.
Starting point is 00:41:30 I've never had, I never liked it. I mean, he's got verbal diarrhea. When Quentin fires up, you can't stop him. No, but this, here's the thing about this podcast is that neither of these guys care. Yeah, no one is writing. they're not they're in their 60s they're at the height of or they're they are icons of their crafts they don't care if they go yeah they don't care yeah i didn't like this movie i didn't
Starting point is 00:41:56 think this actor was that good i think that the director fucked up here like and i'm not saying they're always right but but it's their opinion and it's kind of cool yeah and in in this business now where everyone has a podcast and we all like work with each other yeah we pull punches all the time about like what movies we did not like or thought were bad sure and didn't think actors were as good as people say they are whatever yeah but i mean he but he's to me he's not addressing the elephant in the room you know what i mean like that's like a that's a very debatable thing dan i was good fucking lillard is great owen wilson yeah to to you why are those guys top of mind like why do you have that's fucking weird pulling lillard out is wild is wild that's weird
Starting point is 00:42:42 Well, one, because he's like, Paul Dano and Owen Wilson are huge stars. Yeah. Matthew Lillard isn't. That's what I'm saying. Like, Lillard must have like dissed him at some point. Right, right. It's pretty crazy because Matthew Lillard is not that big of a star anymore. He had his run in the early 2000s, but now he pops up and he's a character actor and he will pop up in things.
Starting point is 00:43:04 I've always liked him personally. And he's always good. He's always good. But I feel like he just signed on to something. Like, there's a big. roll like landman or some shit something's coming up for lillard that i heard so maybe that was just he read the trades or i don't know like why i do want you to have google alerts for matthew i do bro i just shaggy ever since sLC punk i'm in me too sLC punk rock it's rough by the way

I think he's revealed himself to be a dork. Kind of a dork. He's the biggest dork ever, but like... He's a huge dork. But he's his thing is he's a dork for cinema and he's, uh, I mean, his movies
Starting point is 00:43:54 fucking rule, dude. Like, he put a bunch of his friends, they're some of them. He put a bunch of his friends, some of them. If you're gonna, if you're gonna hold them up to Danos performance at that level and be like I'm looking down at, some, a lot of Quentin Tarantino movies are mid, dude.

What year did it come out? It has one scene that I, it's, the movie can exist because of the first scene. I'll take it.
Starting point is 00:44:32 Okay, two scenes. The bar scene as well. But the overall movie, mid. Mid. It came out in 2009. So, all right. Mid. Mid.

I know it well. I know it very well. There's two amazing scenes. Two amazing scenes. The bar scene and the first scene with the people under the floorboards. Those are incredible scenes. Movie theater scene? No, the movie theater scene can go away. It's not for you. It's not for me, mate. That's not for me no more. I will say that, On this list, he's like, cabin fever.
Starting point is 00:45:13 And I'm like, well, that's your homie, right? Yeah. Like, you just like... He's just a cabin boy. Now I'm listening. Cabin boy, now we're talking. But people do like cabin fever. I'm not saying cabin fever's bad.
Starting point is 00:45:23 I'm just saying his favorite 20 movies. Okay, go through the list. What's cabin fever? I don't even know what that is. Cabin is a movie where, like, kids are in the woods at a cabin. Then, like, they start getting sick and going on crazy. Yeah. Well, I could have deduce that.
Starting point is 00:45:36 Okay, so his list is Black Hawk Down, which... That's number one. That's crazy that that's number But this is of the 21st century Yeah Okay So this is just in the last 25 years Okay
Starting point is 00:45:49 I do agree I remember seeing that movie I didn't love that movie But he's saying number one I was listening to this the other night I was like I gotta watch this I gotta watch it Bro he's just saying shit
Starting point is 00:45:59 To me he's just saying shit So there will be blood was number five And I hadn't seen there will be blood So I gotta watch it And you watched it by the way We never got like your take It was very good Yeah I love that very very
Starting point is 00:46:11 Yeah, the movie rocks. Yeah, it's just a really well-done. It's kind of boring, but I like boring movies and boring things. I like boring shit. Right up my alley. Give me some boring shit. So Black Hawk Down, pretty crazy number one. I disagree.
Starting point is 00:46:27 That seems like a number 12. Also, you got to remember the directors. You got to remember the directors. Ridley Scott. He's going for directors. Each of these movies, you go, oh, okay. Toy Story 3 is his number two. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:46:40 I love Toy Story 3. I was talking about that movie two weeks ago. We're letting Bo watch like an hour of TV at nighttime because he starts to lose his mind right before bed and then you're like, hey, watch this and he loves it. So we've been watching like 40 minutes of whatever animated movie. Rambo. And of Rambo, of Rambo, of just some things to put him to bed.
Starting point is 00:47:04 Yeah. Just some things to put him to bed. Human Centipede. So we watched Toy Story 1. We're halfway through Toy Story 2 now. Toy Story 2 is just okay, but I'm excited to get to Toy Story 3. Okay, then we got Lost in Translation, number three. Good movie.
Starting point is 00:47:20 Also haven't seen that one. Do I watch that one? No, that's a good movie. I wonder if you'll like that. It's a hang. Yeah, it's a hangout movie. If you like boring movies, you'll like it. I do like boring things.
Starting point is 00:47:31 This one's really boring, though. That one's really boring. I might not love it. I don't know. Dunkirk rules. Awesome. Dunkirk fucking rules. And again, these are directors' movies.
Starting point is 00:47:44 And Blake, you had you'd had you Dunkirk? I thought I was going to like it a lot more. I will say that. I remember being like, huh. It's like fractured. There will be blood, which is pretty fucking great. Zodiac, which is very great. That's right up your alley as far as boring movies, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:59 It's science. I mean, in a good way. In a good way. And that it's just like you're just in a world, you're watching it happen. There's no like crazy movie plot drive. By the way, unstoppable at number seven. What's that? I can't stay a dream movie.
Starting point is 00:48:12 But I like that movie. I saw that in the theaters for sure. Wait, what is that? Is that Mark Wahlberg? Chris Pine. Oh, love me some pine. May 24th, 1990. A pipe bomb explodes in the front seat of environmental activist Judy Berry's car.
Starting point is 00:48:33 I knew it was a bomb the second that it exploded. I felt it ripped through me with just a force more powerful and terrible. than anything that I could describe. In season two of Ripcurrent, we ask, who tried to kill Judy Berry and why? She received death threats before the bombing. She received more threats after the bombing. The man and woman who were heard had planned
Starting point is 00:48:55 to lead a summer of militant protest against logging practices in Northern California. They were climbing trees and they were sabotaging logging equipment in the woods. The timber industry, I mean, it was the number one industry in the area, but more than it was the culture. it was the way of life. I think that this is a deliberate attempt to sabotage our movement.
Starting point is 00:49:14 Episodes of Rip Current Season 2 are available now. Listen on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. For 25 years, I've explored what it means to heal, not just for myself, but alongside others. I'm Mike De La Rocha. This is Sacred Lessons, a space for reflection, growth, and collective healing. What do you tell men that are hurting right now?
Starting point is 00:49:43 Everything's going to be okay on the other side, you know, just push through it. And, you know, ironically, the root of the word spirit is breath. Wow. Which is why one of the most revolutionary acts that we can do as people just breathe. Next to the wound is their gifts. You can't even find your gifts unless you go through the wound. That's the hard thing. You think, well, I'm going to get my guess.
Starting point is 00:50:05 I don't want to go through all that. You got to go through the wounds you're laughing. listening to other people's near-death experiences, and it's all they say. In conclusion, love is the answer. Listen to Sacred Lessons as part of the My Goutura Podcast Network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

I remember T.J. Miller, when I was doing stand-up and in the stand-up world a lot and also trying to get into acting. This movie came out in 2010, so it was right before. So you were more in the stand-up world than the acting world at this point? Yes. Yes, absolutely. And so I would, and TJ was the guy who was booking, was the stand-up who was the stand-up who was also booking movies.
Starting point is 00:54:06 And I remember being like... He was getting into the movie world, yeah. Yeah. I remember him getting unstoppable and being so jealous. Yeah. Like, not, I didn't hate the guy of I was like, TJ, but I was like...
Starting point is 00:54:18 Natural stand-up vibe. I was like, oh, shit, dude. How can I get in these movies? This big goof is getting in these movies. How do I? He's super funny. He is very funny. He's very funny.
Starting point is 00:54:30 And he's a character, too. Yeah. He's insane. He says, oh, lunatic. Love him. How did we describe it, like an insane character? He's an insane person. Then Mad Max Fury Road.
Starting point is 00:54:40 So, wait, did you ever see Unstoppable? No, I never saw it. It's Denzo Washington. It's Chris Pine. I believe Rosario Dawson's in it as well, like back at the headquarters. And T.J. Miller. And T.J. And it was Tony Scott.
Starting point is 00:54:51 Exactly. So again, it's, he's going with, like, directors. And Tony Scott directed his first movie ever, or maybe it's not his first movie, but like, true romance, right? So, like, oh, yeah. He's putting his homies on here, which, what are you going to do? So Mad Max Fury Road, banger. Might be number one. Sean of the Dead.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Bangor. Cute. Midnight in Paris. I'd like to just fine. I don't know that one. I'd like to just fine. Is that a sex movie? No.
Starting point is 00:55:18 Hot, hot, hot. Then you skipped it, huh? That's your boy, Owen Wilson. It's Woody Allen. It's good. Woody Allen. It's a feel good movie. You watch it.
Starting point is 00:55:26 It's Woody Allen again. We're going with big directors here. Oh, we'll see. And then Battle Royale, 2000. Kenji Fukush. Yeah, he ripped that. shit off he ripped that shit off fukashaku fukashaku yeah they're saying it's based it's basically hunger games before hunger games yeah and like right before hunger games apparently 2000
Starting point is 00:55:47 they're both books it's like very it's very kill bill too right isn't that the girl with the spike ball wasn't that also what running man was yeah but this is like teenagers right on an island and then big bad wolves never heard of it yeah big bad wolves 2013 don't know it some foreign director Can't pronounce their names. Is that the Israeli one? No way to tell me. Okay. Because there's one that was like the movie Prisoner.
Starting point is 00:56:11 No. 13 is Jackass. Jackass 2 is better, by the way. Wait, he has Jackass on? Okay, I'm back in. Quentin just got me. Then School of Rock. I mean, we got to remember.
Starting point is 00:56:21 That movie fucking ruled. We got to remember Jackass. Have you guys laughed harder? I mean, I got a couple others, but... No, I think Jackass 2 is the funniest movie I've ever seen. Hardest. I will say Borat is also up there as far as laughing in a movie theater, uncontrollably.
Starting point is 00:56:36 McGrubber also up there. Yeah. School of Rock, The Passion of the Christ, the Devil's Rejects. Dude, I saw Devils Rejects in the theater. The Rob Zombie movie? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:47 Which I don't think I ever saw. And also Passion of the Christ, I'm like... That movie's fucking cool. I mean, Mel is good, but I'll put Apocalyptic over passion for sure. Chocolat. It's different.
Starting point is 00:57:00 It's not Chocolat. It's a different movie. Oh, I was about to say. That thing flopped. I worked that. Brendan Theaters when that came out. Yeah, different movie. So it's just chocolate.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Yeah, but it's, I believe it's Korean. Is it good? I've never seen it. Huh. I think it's a fighting. Then Moneyball. Okay. Which, let's go, Oakland.
Starting point is 00:57:17 Moneyball is fine. I rewatch it this summer. Usually, in the beginning of summer, I get a little baseball fever. But I also don't love just watching baseball at home. Right. You hate the sport, but you do get the... No, unless it's like a team that I'm rooting for, I'm like, I don't really care. Right.
Starting point is 00:57:34 I figured that one I like... I'm not going to put on a random baseball game. Yes. That one's close to me because that's my home team, but it had some good performances. So at the beginning of the summer, usually I'll just go through and watch a few baseball movies. Just to get a fired that one up at the beginning of this summer. Dude, when's the last time you watched the natural? This summer.
Starting point is 00:57:52 Big naturals. I fucking love it. I love it. That movie is... Yes, points. Is that Robert Redford? Yeah. Oh, RIP.
Starting point is 00:58:03 It is weird. It is, it starts off strange. It's a weird, super natural movie. Even the guy who's like, let me fucking see how much money you have in your pocket. I've never seen it. Oh, dude. You got to watch it. It's a strange, like, mythological type movie.
Starting point is 00:58:22 Watch it beginning the summer. Love it. And then I rolled that right into Field of Dreams. And Field of Dreams is a lot weirder than I remembered it being too. I'm like, those are the two weird ones. Yeah. And it's weird that Field of Dreams was. so popular because
Starting point is 00:58:36 it's about these ghosts and then no one could see them except for him. And then his family. Listen, this is, here's my breakdown of why Feel the Dreams is huge. Hollywood. It's a wet dream for men everywhere.
Starting point is 00:58:52 I just want to party. But why did I love it so much as a little boy? When I watch it again, I'm like, why did I even like this? Kevin Costner. Because it's well made. Dude, let let me just break this down real quick. It's about a guy who becomes obsessed with something, which is like a lot of guys later in their age,
Starting point is 00:59:09 they get their hobby or whatever it is. The wife is like, we might lose the farm, but sure, go for it. And he's like, cool. And then he gets to play catch with his dead dad. It's just every guy's fantasy to have a wife who's like, hey, go crazy with your new thing. Go crazy.
Starting point is 00:59:27 Yeah, we can lose the farm, but, hey, we believe you and we trust you. Yeah. And by the way, your dad, Hey, wouldn't that be nice? He's back. Have a catch. But so I watched it with my kids, and it's a slow movie. It's a slow bird.
Starting point is 00:59:43 They fucking leaned in. Oh, yeah. And like my oldest kid, this is like two years ago now, as soon as they go, if you build it, he will come. He leans over, he goes, are they talking about his dad? Do not know. Just keep watching. Just keep watching.
Starting point is 00:59:58 He's like, it's the dad, though, right? And I go. I thought you were about to say he made a cum joke, and I would. It would have been, I would have shed a tear of joy. That would have been. Yeah, we're not quite there yet. Yeah. Just wait.
Starting point is 01:00:08 Once they start, they don't stop. You want to know a absolute insane thing? I was watching weapons. Oh, yeah, great movie. My parents. Another male fantasy. Go ahead. The other day.
Starting point is 01:00:21 The witch in weapons, the red-headed witch, is the mom from Field of Dreams. And the girlfriend from Uncle Buck. And my mom hated the movie. the whole time she's like well it's not a very good movie but we're laughing at it and I'm like I think it's a really good movie mom and she's like
Starting point is 01:00:39 I don't think anyone likes this movie I'm like I think it has like a 93% cinema score or whatever I don't like it I think it's pretty universally liked it she's like eh I don't think so your mom's Quinn Tarantino in it and I'm like okay but the whole time she's like and Paul Dano's a hack
Starting point is 01:00:56 limp dick the whole time she's going I know her from somewhere like the and every time it'd be like jump scare and you see the witch. It's like, my mom is going, I know her from somewhere. What do I know her from?
Starting point is 01:01:09 And I'm like, just watch the movie. Just watch her movie. I know her. What a special way to view that movie, man. With the penny commentary. Just the whole time. The whole time, incessantly, like, I know her.
Starting point is 01:01:22 It's Adam. What is she from? I'm like, and then I'm like, you want me to look it up? And she goes, no, we'll figure it out. Don't look it up. We know it. And then don't watch the movie.
Starting point is 01:01:32 spend the entire time thinking about that. And then an hour and a half into it, she goes, field of dreams! Yeah. And I'm like, oh, okay. I'm glad you let her have that. Yeah, I'm like, was there a box of wine on the table or something? No, no, in fact.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Slaping the bag. Yeah, was she smacking, was she basting? I'm going to go slap the bag. And then after Moneyball goes, cabin fever. Yeah. And then West Side Story, and I never saw West Side Story. The old one. West Side Story is a banger.
Starting point is 01:02:00 I think it was my favorite movie. movie that year. Well, it's a great musical. You have to see it, dude. I watched it by myself on like a screener. Oh, weird oh shit. And then like, everyone got home and I was like, and your pants were around your ankles. Uh, watching West Side Story. The backpack was in front of the door. We used to get out of town pass. I know you gave us seven so that you could have four hours. I gave you the pass. I thought I had time to watch a movie and, and what, and, and, and, you're back already? You're back. are huge um no that is i wish i saw that in the theater because like the way it's directed
Starting point is 01:02:38 it's fucking awesome but that's an incredible musical all time yeah but like and you love your musical i do i do what's your favorite musical blake what's my favorite musical go um dude that's a as a theater major i mean i'll just say annie you love annie love annie yeah i mean Book of Mormon was really good You know, I think you guys could guess Mine pretty easily Is that a musical though Or is that a, what do they call it, a review
Starting point is 01:03:12 Where they just cover songs? No, Book of Mormon had original Original shift. No, no, I'm talking about If Adam, if you're talking about pitch perfect No, no, no, no, no I would not. I would not say pitchers
Starting point is 01:03:22 Damn Yankees? No, dude, damn Yankees, get out of here. Rent. No, no, no. Are we talking movies or are we talking plays? We're talking plays. You're talking musical. Oh, you're saying newsies, of course.
Starting point is 01:03:33 No, that doesn't count. We're talking stage shows. It has to be a stage show at this point. What? I have mine. We're talking about movies, and then suddenly you're talking about stage plays. I'm on the stage, bitch. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:47 I know mine. I've got it. I've got it. Okay, just say it. And it is, oh, it's the pinnacle. It's the pinnacle of musical theater. Phantom of the opera. Is it?
Starting point is 01:04:00 Yes, it is, of course. Of course. Is that real? Of course. I went and saw that in Chicago when it came through. And I was like, I thought it was amazing because it's like a Broadway style play with all the fucking crazy stuff. But the music, when you listen to it now, it's like half techno, half like opera. Yeah, it's kind of fire, dude. It's kind of.
Starting point is 01:04:16 Very Han Zimmer-esque. But wouldn't you rather have some newsboys standing up to the against the man and little Christian bell going pair of new shoes with satin laces? Are they, is that Nazi Germany newsies? No. No, that's swing kids. Swing kids. It's New York. It's, I believe, these 30s.
Starting point is 01:04:37 I'm the king of New York. Right when Twister came out, and it is a hot number. Yeah, they're just standing up against the owner of the newspaper, and they're going to start, they're going to unionize, and they go around to Brooklyn and Queens. They're playing stickball a lot. They say pair of new shoes and wooden dildos. Yeah. Right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:59 Yeah. Yes, they are. I give it points, might as well. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you, Mom. Yeah, that's good. Swing Kids and Newsies are the same movie to me.
Starting point is 01:05:08 They came out around the same time, I feel like. I don't think I've ever seen Swing Kids. They very much are. I don't think I've seen it. I think I'm so brand loyal to Newsy's that I couldn't possibly. Brand loyal. I couldn't possibly. I couldn't even watch another movie.
Starting point is 01:05:22 You're such a newsie, bro. He's a news dude. That, but that I loved that movie. I know you did. I still. I know you do. I know. I know.
Starting point is 01:05:29 So what I said it, and the fact that you listed game Yankees and all these other ones, I was a little disappointed. I'm sorry. I got there, though. I did get there. Yeah, you did. When you guys hear lists like Tarantino's, does any part of it make you want to sit down? Not sit down, but just think about what your top 20 of the new millennium as far as movies are? That seems like too much.
Starting point is 01:05:51 Yeah. Like I don't, I think I'd get to like number five or six and then be like, what am I doing? Sure. You're sitting here just thinking about a list of movies. Yeah, I could be jacking off right now. What am I doing? I could be jacking off. I can put it on the Oculus.
Starting point is 01:06:03 The fuck. It's science. I think I'd figure out that I haven't seen. That's Adam's new workout is the workout is moving the furniture to beat off. I think I'd quickly figure out that I haven't seen 25 movies from the last 20 years. You'd have trouble? I'd have trouble. I don't.
Starting point is 01:06:23 I haven't seen. You don't watch any movies? Those films, I have not seen half of the films you guys just mentioned. But I'm not saying you. need to name the best movies and be right about it i'm saying like your list naming your top 20 of the last speed racer that's right you love speed racer you gave me speed racer visually stunning visually stunning yeah and john goodman kills it who does john goodman i didn't even know john goodman was in oh you know who would have been good in fucking speaking of girl next door a meal hirsch as the little as the little as the little bit more handsome square
Starting point is 01:06:57 jaw. He would have been great and there will be blood. He's also a little unhinged in a good way. I think he's too short. Yeah. Amel's a great actor. Short's good because he's a really good actor. He's a man. Wasn't he the like runaway fucking hiker guy? Yeah. Crushed it. I had to turn
Starting point is 01:07:13 down a movie starring opposite Emil Hirsch earlier this year. What the hell? Yeah. Loose butthole. Sad, it was sad day. What do you mean had to? Because conflict or? No, I physically couldn't do it. Right. physically couldn't. Oh, because of your back? Because of my back. Or because you and
Starting point is 01:07:31 Emil Hirsch are just twins. Yeah, we were going to play best friends in the movie. And usually your best friends look exactly like you. That's why we, our powers combined, make one decent looking person. We could just plug it into AI. It's all good. We'll get it made. Yeah. We'll get it made. Um, any tapebacks, any apologies, any epic slams. Hmm. Gosh. I want to apologize to Matthew Lillard on behalf of, yeah. Tarantina, like, what are we talking about? And by the way, that's rough. I think we can all agree that there's, like, good actors,
Starting point is 01:08:04 and then there's, like, memorable actors, and then there's movie stars. Yeah, okay. I don't know if Matthew Lillard is, like, a good actor, like a Philip Seymour Hoffman, but he's definitely memorable. There's no one else like Matthew Lillard. I don't know if he's a movie star.
Starting point is 01:08:19 I love Matthew Lillard. But there's definitely a place. He was for a minute. But what he's starring? I mean, look, SLC punk. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Scream, the Scooby movies. He was in some cool movies in the early 2000s.
Starting point is 01:08:34 He had his run, which a lot of actors do. You look at an actor's career and you're like, oh, they had like a eight to 10 year run where they were in a ton of stuff and then it kind of fizzled out. And that's kind of where we are at in our careers right now. I'm pretty sure he became like a, like not a banker, but like a trader. Like he just started trading, like following the stocks and like did perfectly well for a long time. and then came back to acting after his kids got out of school or something like that. Whatever he wants.
Starting point is 01:09:00 I love that. I like that. I love that he could do that. That's not something I would want to do at all. Like, I know people are like, yeah, and then I got into trading. I'm like, there's people that studied the stock market for decades. And that's all they think about is the stock market. Yeah. Let them do that.
Starting point is 01:09:17 Let them cook. Let them do that with your money. Here's what I'll say. I think people have other skills besides acting, and that might have been his. What would you guys do? woodwork woodwork yeah
Starting point is 01:09:28 interesting and have you ever worked with wood ever no but I just can sense that I'd be very good at it
Starting point is 01:09:34 yeah I don't um I don't see that for you even a little bit yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:09:41 I've never seen you like craft anything really or he comes back to the podcast with like fucking no fingers he's like
Starting point is 01:09:48 yeah I think you'd be so bad at that definitely our middle school shop class teacher had two fingers gone yes my shop teacher
Starting point is 01:09:55 also was part of a finger. I mean, if you're in the shop that often. Mr. Treddy didn't have an eye. Should we give flowers to all the shop teachers? I think you want to dress like that and look like you could woodwork but you can't. I have an uncle
Starting point is 01:10:09 who does it. It came very natural to him. So I think, you know, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Well, my uncle did heroin and died on the toilet. You would be great at heroin. I guarantee it. I don't think I'd be that good at heroin. I think you'd be great. It's not hard to be bad. He's too much
Starting point is 01:10:25 of a butterball braggadocio. Can you be good at heroin? I think so. And I don't think I could be good at it. If anything, I would be like a method. If I was going to do a drug. Or a co-cat, I guess. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:40 Tupper's. But so you're going to say woodwork because you don't have a real answer. I mean, I guess I would just coach swimming, right? Yeah. See, that'd be cool. I still love the sport. I think it's fun. Boys and Speedos, something about it. I don't know what it is.
Starting point is 01:10:56 Water trash. You know what I would do? I would fire Isaac. Yeah, of course. And then take over Avalon and then actually fire Isaac. Oh, wow. And then be a manager. Yeah, and then be a manager.
Starting point is 01:11:08 Okay, I like that. Good answer. And if it wasn't that, if I wasn't firing Isaac, multiple different ways, it would be, I would open my own breakfast spot. That's cool. How fun would it just be just to cook some eggs and going around table to table, being like, hey, how's everything here? Yeah. I like that answer, Adam. That's better than woodworking.
Starting point is 01:11:29 I do love the idea of his spot being like every half hour on the half hour, Adam sings something. Everyone comes out of the kitchen like, It's 8.30 a.m. and you're at this restaurant, and we're singing the song. It's either a breakfast spot or a steak restaurant. I could do either. I'm liking these answers. No, no, no. You got too much energy for the steak restaurant.
Starting point is 01:11:51 I'm sorry. But the guys who walk around a steak restaurant, very reserved. How's your meal? Very good. No, no, no. They fold, when they fold your napkin. It's a, it's, it's, it's dinner and a show. God.
Starting point is 01:12:02 And someone comes out and they play the piano and I sit on a stool and I crooned. I crewed them. Would you like some more, would you like some more coffee? Please don't stop the music. And that's another episode of this is important. Why don't people understand my intentions? My intentions? Why don't people understand my intentions?
