Speaker 1: full of the treat part of the episode, the not
Speaker 1: about the news part of the episode, and yeah, we
Speaker 1: hope you enjoy them. All filler no killer, I guess
Speaker 1: you could say. And if you have a favorite overrated
Speaker 1: underrated from the long history of the show, my memory
Speaker 1: doesn't work that well. But if you have one from
Speaker 1: a long time ago, let us know in the discorder
Speaker 1: and the comments and maybe we can do an all
Speaker 1: time OOPS all over under Search History. Anyways, without they're
Speaker 1: ado here, they are Oops, All Overrated, Underrated and Search History.
Speaker 2: Bye.
Speaker 1: What is something from your search history that's revealing about
Speaker 1: who you are?
Speaker 3: Okay, this morning it was like big news and my
Speaker 3: circle of friends that the Legends of Held movie that
Speaker 3: we're finally getting to our first looks. Oh, I'm a
Speaker 3: big zelder nerd. I played all those games to death.
Speaker 3: It's the only game I could really play I'm a
Speaker 3: big dungeon freak. And yeah, me and my circle of friends,
Speaker 3: we love that ship. And so yeah, there's like the
Speaker 3: first Freak.
Speaker 1: It sounds so much nast year than what it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my whole vocabulary.
Speaker 3: When I say D and D, people are really going
Speaker 3: to be looking for my name in the files.
Speaker 1: Okay, so first looks, I'm looking at something that looks
Speaker 1: like the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: pretty much it. Yeah right, well, pretty exciting. So ships
Speaker 1: that is like the Hollywood's promised to New Zealand that
Speaker 1: we will boost your tourism industry once once every decade.
Speaker 1: It feels like what we're seeing here.
Speaker 2: That's cool.
Speaker 1: It's live action, you know, that's that'll be interesting. They said,
Speaker 1: oh wow, they're describing it. Wes the director said they're
Speaker 1: aiming for something quote akin to a live action Miyazaki, which.
Speaker 2: I'm okay, there's a lot of opportunities.
Speaker 4: Yeahazaki, no, but you know the vibrations we're gonna copy.
Speaker 3: I think I used to hate like video game adaptations,
Speaker 3: and then I saw that movie Uncharted with Tom Holland
Speaker 3: and I was actually just this feels like a meal,
Speaker 3: like this feels like a whole meal. I really enjoyed
Speaker 3: that one.
Speaker 2: Are you one of like Super Mario and stuff?
Speaker 4: I was like, eh, well, yeah, I mean I get
Speaker 4: like the animated version, they're just trying to keep it
Speaker 4: like to very video gaming kind of stuff because it
Speaker 4: wasn't the John Liguizamo Bob Hoskins live action Mario Brothers
Speaker 4: we got in the nineties.
Speaker 2: But so good are the fans? How are they?
Speaker 4: Because obviously, I mean I feel like Nintendo fans are
Speaker 4: less toxic than like console or PC gaming fans are
Speaker 4: the Are there are people enthusiastic about this casting?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Pretty.
Speaker 3: I think they didn't want it to be like some
Speaker 3: big name celebrity where they were going to just try
Speaker 3: to force.
Speaker 2: It like they did.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because they continuously do. How are they going
Speaker 1: to get Chris Pratt to do the voice though? Is
Speaker 1: he just overdubbing them like in vo afterwards? All Right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you those directors me and then I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give you the directors filmography, and you're gonna do
Speaker 1: a bit of a Brittany Brosky face miles where it's like,
Speaker 1: all right, yes, the kombucha face. So he is best
Speaker 1: known for directing the Maze Runner film trilogy, but then
Speaker 1: he made the Fourth Kingdom of the Planet fifth or
Speaker 1: fourth Planet of the Apes reboot Kingdom of the Planet
Speaker 1: of the Apes, which I've heard is like interesting at least,
Speaker 1: And sorry, yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Don't look, bro, I don't do whatever the fuck you're
Speaker 4: gonna do. You never know, because I know directing movies
Speaker 4: is you might make a whole bunch of.
Speaker 2: Shitty ones and then suddenly make a good one.
Speaker 4: So off of this and Aiman's excitement, I'm gonna go
Speaker 4: ahead and I'm gonna say really positive about this.
Speaker 2: I do really like posit. I do like the no
Speaker 2: name performers.
Speaker 3: So it's a perfect pairing, man, if you think about it.
Speaker 3: Because all the monsters in Zelda are like non humanoid,
Speaker 3: they're like pig ape right thing creatures, and so it
Speaker 3: actually kind of makes sense.
Speaker 2: That actually makes me more excited. They hate the I'm just.
Speaker 4: Waiting for when they're gonna because I know right now
Speaker 4: they say this woman Bo Bragison is playing Zelda. But
Speaker 4: I know, but they're gonna put Sidney Sweeney in that
Speaker 4: world eventually ran god, yeah.
Speaker 2: And you know what, you know, what else it is.
Speaker 3: I haven't been excited about anything, uh like in movies
Speaker 3: for so long, and so I'm just really allowing myself
Speaker 3: kind of forcing myself to be really excited about this one.
Speaker 2: I love that. May it not be a disappointment. Made
Speaker 2: it the last really hyped over a movie.
Speaker 1: I was pretty psyched about one battle after another.
Speaker 2: I was really psyched over weapons, and I never saw it.
Speaker 1: You weapons, you don't see weapons, I know.
Speaker 5: I was just like, I remember seeing the trailer.
Speaker 4: I'm like, yo, this ship fucking goes and then cut
Speaker 4: to like, you know, life lifing.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but I'm glad.
Speaker 1: Also, it seems like it's aimed at theaters, right, Like
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a theatrical release. They're not just gonna
Speaker 1: be like now on Amazon Prime.
Speaker 2: No no, no, okay, that's good. That's good. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: I think I heard I was really.
Speaker 1: Excited about the uh miss Piggy movie. Then I think
Speaker 1: I heard that it's going to be a streaming thing,
Speaker 1: which is crazy, like you need to put that on
Speaker 1: on theater.
Speaker 4: That's fine because I just showed my kid them upp
Speaker 4: It's Christmas, Carol. He's fucking love fun he normally doesn't
Speaker 4: like seeing like live action ship he likes animated shit.
Speaker 2: He was feeling nice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, is this going to be like a live action
Speaker 3: Miss Piggy live action Miss Piggy. Yeah, I haven't even
Speaker 3: heard about this. Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence and Miss Piggy.
Speaker 1: This might be relevant to one of our upcoming Icon episodes,
Speaker 1: so stay tuned for those.
Speaker 2: Amma Stones.
Speaker 1: I get you, Mike, what's something you think is underrated?
Speaker 5: Uh? So under I know that I saw, I remember
Speaker 5: that this question was going to be coming.
Speaker 2: Uh. I have a few answers.
Speaker 5: My first answer is a thing that I love that
Speaker 5: I feel like it's so interesting to talk about things
Speaker 5: as overrated and underrated when I feel like all of
Speaker 5: these things are relative where you know, especially today, when
Speaker 5: your algorithm will you know, propagate and perpetuate the things
Speaker 5: that you like or that maybe you don't even know
Speaker 5: that you are clicking on and engaging with. And you
Speaker 5: say to somebody like why why is my computer? Why
Speaker 5: does my phone keep showing me this? It's like, well,
Speaker 5: because of you, you know, you have revealed something about
Speaker 5: yourself and there's less of a monoculture today. So like
Speaker 5: I mean one answer that I would say for myself personally,
Speaker 5: I love advice columns, and I think that most people
Speaker 5: don't think about, or care about, or read or engage
Speaker 5: with advice columns or podcasts as much as I do.
Speaker 5: We're out there. I'm not the only one. I'm not
Speaker 5: innovating it. But I think, based on my tastes, I
Speaker 5: love advice columns and would love to and think that
Speaker 5: they are thus because of that underrated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're definitely having a resurgence of the podcast space,
Speaker 1: like it is a type like a format that has
Speaker 1: been coming back, I think because it's a way to
Speaker 1: engage with other people that isn't the news, you know,
Speaker 1: like which people are just like, ah, I want to
Speaker 1: hear about like messy drama that like isn't about the
Speaker 1: fact that the world is dying. And so yeah, let
Speaker 1: me hear about the politics of your workplace.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 5: And oh absolutely, And there's some that are so specific
Speaker 5: like specifically with the politics of workplace, Like there's a
Speaker 5: podcast I think she used to have a podcast, but
Speaker 5: definitely has a column, Alison Green, and her column is
Speaker 5: called ask a Manager, And like, I'm not even I
Speaker 5: don't work in a quote unquote workplace. You know, I
Speaker 5: don't have HR. I don't have you know, a boss
Speaker 5: and a grand boss. And yet ultimately, at the root,
Speaker 5: all of these questions are like, you know, questions about
Speaker 5: guidelines of how to live as a human being, how
Speaker 5: to get along with other people, Like there's you know, relationships.
Speaker 5: It's all very human and relatable, even if the question
Speaker 5: is like, you know, my boss did this specific thing.
Speaker 5: Shouldn't I get paid more for, like I know, one
Speaker 5: of the questions we address later. Oh, also, just real quick,
Speaker 5: do you think that I know, we're going to get
Speaker 5: into this later. Do you think that Jeff Bezos is
Speaker 5: following the target model of like, hey, everyone, when I
Speaker 5: come out surrounded by lightsabers, smile if you're within one
Speaker 5: million miles of me, smile.
Speaker 1: Or is he like look scared before me? Because the way,
Speaker 1: like everything I've heard about Amazon, like being an Amazon executive,
Speaker 1: is that people are openly crying in their offices, like
Speaker 1: because of how like brutal it is to work there,
Speaker 1: like at the high level, not just like on the
Speaker 1: you know, factory floors. So I wonder if he has
Speaker 1: like a different kink where he's like better not smile.
Speaker 2: That is which side. I bet he makes no rules.
Speaker 6: It's just like everyone who doesn't do what he already
Speaker 6: wants is get gets a little fired.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people get fired so quick at Amazon.
Speaker 5: A little fired, that's but yes, it felts. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 5: I just think that we all, you know, in life,
Speaker 5: at various points, are trying to figure out what to
Speaker 5: do in you know, in general or in specific situations.
Speaker 5: You know, some of us have friends that we go to.
Speaker 5: Some of us, you know, might look to various community
Speaker 5: enterprises you're a part of, be it you know, a
Speaker 5: religious affiliation, or you know, just your your group text
Speaker 5: or what have you. And yeah, I think and I'm
Speaker 5: not saying that I get all of my how I
Speaker 5: live my life from advice counts. I just I do love.
Speaker 5: There's some element also of sometimes a person writing in
Speaker 5: is the unbeknownst to them villain of the story, you know,
Speaker 5: the the am I the asshole, without realizing that they
Speaker 5: might in fact be the asshole. And sometimes to see
Speaker 5: you know, a person who is the wronging party, the
Speaker 5: more harmful person in a situation complaining, you know, the
Speaker 5: one percent being like, hey, the ninety nine percent has
Speaker 5: taken one percent of my one percent, you know, in
Speaker 5: my mind, like what what can I do about this?
Speaker 5: And to see you know, come up and delivered or
Speaker 5: just you know, a deliver it's just yeah, it's there,
Speaker 5: can be, it could be. I have to be careful
Speaker 5: because I don't want to just slide down into a
Speaker 5: realm of judgment. Because I want everyone to live their
Speaker 5: their best, happiest, most productive, you know, most peaceful, healthy life.
Speaker 5: And you know, sometimes for me that involves a little
Speaker 5: bit of schadenfreude, but I'm much more. I'm much more
Speaker 5: into freuden freude, which is taking joy in other people's joy,
Speaker 5: which is I like to see when people figure out
Speaker 5: what to do and learn and improve and atone and
Speaker 5: make amends. So yeah, advice columns, like you don't all
Speaker 5: you don't have to be into them. But I I'm
Speaker 5: not advising anyone, but I advise myself to continue enjoying
Speaker 5: advice columns. The underrated answer to your question.
Speaker 6: And that's like the best advice columns do. It's not
Speaker 6: the specific advice, right, it's like the train of thought.
Speaker 6: I feel like the best advice columnists can even just
Speaker 6: get to the point where, like.
Speaker 2: I might be wrong but right and then.
Speaker 5: Oh absolutely, I mean my I feel like the for
Speaker 5: many people like the og advice columnists or Dear Abby
Speaker 5: and Ann Landers and so certainly I did read them
Speaker 5: growing up, but at a certain point, I feel like
Speaker 5: there's so many people occupying the space. Like Dan Savage
Speaker 5: was my first like advice columnist who I loved reading
Speaker 5: as like I think I found him in college and
Speaker 5: so I've been reading him for you know, two and
Speaker 5: a half decades and listening to his podcast. And he
Speaker 5: brings on experts when the question. If the question is
Speaker 5: about something relating to drag, he'll bring on, you know,
Speaker 5: a drag performer. If it's about trans rights, he will
Speaker 5: bring on a trans guest. If it's about you know,
Speaker 5: racial issues, I don't know, like Andrew, have you been
Speaker 5: on the show, but I feel like, you know, he'll
Speaker 5: bring on people who have expertise in a thing. If
Speaker 5: it's like he's like, I'm a white person, I'm a man.
Speaker 5: This is a question about, you know, not my lane.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna bring somebody in whose lane.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 5: So and there's just some people who have expertise and
Speaker 5: like are really like adults in that they've put in
Speaker 5: the time and work and effort, and so it's a
Speaker 5: really it's a really cool thing. And then every once
Speaker 5: in a while, like there will be obviously sometimes the
Speaker 5: advice will apply. Like I remember, I don't remember who
Speaker 5: the guest was, but I was listening to the Dear
Speaker 5: Prudence podcast several years ago, and this is I've seen
Speaker 5: this other places other times, but they offered this idea,
Speaker 5: which is just never compare your insides to someone else's outsides.
Speaker 5: If you know, if you're looking at somebody's social media
Speaker 5: feed and be like, wow, why are they why is
Speaker 5: everyone happy except for me? Well, because you're looking at
Speaker 5: the photos that they took one thousand shots to get
Speaker 5: the right one, and you're comparing it to your like
Speaker 5: you don't know every time they were like, damn it
Speaker 5: didn't get that one. Damn it didn't get that one.
Speaker 1: Just standing there, smile on their face, going checking the things,
Speaker 1: stone faced, going back, smile on their face, going back,
Speaker 1: checking their stone face.
Speaker 5: They're doing the target thing to themselves. They're like, okay, smile,
Speaker 5: we're in four feet of this phone. Smile, you can
Speaker 5: do it. Let's get it. But yeah, we know, we
Speaker 5: know our cockpit you know, we see every dial and
Speaker 5: lever and button and you know, emergency light. But for
Speaker 5: everyone else, it's just the outside of the plane or
Speaker 5: like that plane looks like it knows what it's doing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a fighter jet. Look at that thing.
Speaker 5: Wow, I'm a lover, not a fighter jet.
Speaker 6: But you know, also alternately, if you're a jet, if
Speaker 6: you're a listen you're probably not listening to this if
Speaker 6: you're this kind of person. But if you have the
Speaker 6: exact opposite personality as Mike, you can also find advice
Speaker 6: columns that just tell.
Speaker 2: You women are the problems for all your problems. That
Speaker 2: is also available, also available.
Speaker 5: It is an art form like many others, like I'm
Speaker 5: a stand up comedian, and stand up comedy is not
Speaker 5: a monolith. Obviously, you can find people, you know, there's
Speaker 5: obviously the alt right comedy verse, which is, uh, you know,
Speaker 5: who's the force is strong with them these days, you know,
Speaker 5: the the Darth Sith Lords of comedy and h But
Speaker 5: then there's also of course you're you're Maria Bamford's and
Speaker 5: a partner, Don Surla's and Tig Nataro's and Sarah Silverman's,
Speaker 5: you know, the the kindness, bosses of comedy, you know,
Speaker 5: the the self reflective, you know, discussing their own mental
Speaker 5: health and how we can all sincerely, I mean humorously,
Speaker 5: like hilariously address things, you know, from the inside. The
Speaker 5: people who are worried about having imposter syndrome who shouldn't
Speaker 5: have that where versus the people who don't have that
Speaker 5: worry who could stand to wonder if they have it?
Speaker 2: Possibly?
Speaker 5: But yes, and advice columnists are I'm sure no different,
Speaker 5: certainly there if you want, I bet there are some
Speaker 5: alt right podcast advice columns out there as well. I
Speaker 5: myself have not stumbled across them yet.
Speaker 6: You know, the thing that needs to be like distributed
Speaker 6: more than even money, I feel is self doubt.
Speaker 2: We just need.
Speaker 6: If we had an even distribution of self doubt in
Speaker 6: the world, it would be everything social so much better.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, there's this there's this absolutely there's this
Speaker 5: thing that I love from the Talmud, which is, you know,
Speaker 5: collection of Jewish teachings and wisdom and what rabbis said
Speaker 5: about what other rabbis said. And there's this one thing
Speaker 5: in it where or a rabbi says, I have a
Speaker 5: piece of paper in my pocket, that says this world
Speaker 5: was created for you. And I have a piece of
Speaker 5: paper in my other pocket that says you are nothing
Speaker 5: but ash and dust, and so this world was created
Speaker 5: for you. You're nothing but ash and dust. Those are
Speaker 5: both true, valuable things to remember, like if your head
Speaker 5: gets too big, remember you're also in the grandest scheme
Speaker 5: of the universe. You're You're not the center of it.
Speaker 5: You're not everything. There are other people, there are other beings,
Speaker 5: like there is a whole world, you know, an infinity
Speaker 5: of universe that you were not a part of until
Speaker 5: you were born and won't be a part of for
Speaker 5: another billions of years. You are. If you think you're everything,
Speaker 5: maybe consider that you might be also a little bit
Speaker 5: closer to nothing. Whereas if you grow up and have
Speaker 5: the messages given you you are nothing. You are not
Speaker 5: worthwhile to be Like, well, this world was created for you.
Speaker 5: You are the center of your own conscious experience. You
Speaker 5: deserve to be heard if you like you know, I
Speaker 5: don't mean to not to make this only about gender,
Speaker 5: but certainly people in our society socialized as women girls
Speaker 5: female people in our society, you know, the the the
Speaker 5: ideas like oh, you know, you're you're rewarded for being quiet,
Speaker 5: for acquiescing, for going along, for listening, for not taking
Speaker 5: up too much space, whereas you know, little boys and
Speaker 5: men and boys to men of course, are are like, yes, exactly,
Speaker 5: not boys to men. But you know, the especially and
Speaker 5: it's not only I'm sure it's every privileged group. It's
Speaker 5: not just men. It's also white people. It's also straight people,
Speaker 5: it's also able bodied people, it's also cis gender people.
Speaker 5: You know, when you are the majority or the salient
Speaker 5: appearance in society, like for myself, I am many of
Speaker 5: those things.
Speaker 2: I am.
Speaker 5: You know, I am straight, cis white, able bodied, you know,
Speaker 5: an American citizen from birth. You know, I have many
Speaker 5: privileges that I wasn't aware of until I started learning
Speaker 5: about them. And so for me, I was given growing
Speaker 5: up by my family and society. The thumb really pressed
Speaker 5: down hard on the side of the scale that said
Speaker 5: this world was created for you. And so when I
Speaker 5: started doing comedy and being an adult and meeting different
Speaker 5: people and who had different perspectives, I was like, oh,
Speaker 5: listening to other people also valuable for its own sake
Speaker 5: to have other people be heard and also learn more
Speaker 5: myself about experiences that are not my own. And so yeah,
Speaker 5: if you're if you have started your life somewhere, or
Speaker 5: if you're at a point in your life where you
Speaker 5: are like not hurt as much, then it feels it's
Speaker 5: important for you to learn to hopefully advocate for yourself
Speaker 5: and speak up and find people who affirm you and
Speaker 5: value you and and support and endorse and celebrate. But
Speaker 5: for you know, for I'm I'm a man, and there's
Speaker 5: a lot of us out there who could stand to
Speaker 5: learn the lesson. And not again, not just men and
Speaker 5: not all men, but yeah, the self. If you've never
Speaker 5: self doubted, consider self doubt, try it, try it, try it.
Speaker 2: You'll like it. Maybe it's Super Bowl commercial for slow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got Jesus one from the past two years.
Speaker 1: What about maybe some self doubt? What is What's something
Speaker 1: you think is underrated?
Speaker 7: Cereal? As you could tell, I have cereals on the brain.
Speaker 8: I'm so excited by cereal, you guys, like, right now,
Speaker 8: let me tell you about the one I'm most excited about.
Speaker 7: Right now, there is a new cereal. Kellogg's is doing
Speaker 7: a promotion. Oh my god, they be dropping new cereals
Speaker 7: every day every week.
Speaker 2: This is huge.
Speaker 7: This is big.
Speaker 1: This is big because like, yeah, we hadn't had a
Speaker 1: new candy that really like made a huge indent, and
Speaker 1: then everybody's like, oh good, nerds, gummy clusters are actually
Speaker 1: the best thing, and they were not wrong.
Speaker 2: Nerds, gummy clusters are sucking.
Speaker 8: They actually are the best new candy. Gun clusters. They
Speaker 8: really went hard on that one.
Speaker 1: But I haven't paid attention to the newest innovations in
Speaker 1: the cereal game.
Speaker 8: Okay, so this one I'm super excited about. I'm almost
Speaker 8: like sad to open the gates on this ceial. I'm
Speaker 8: trying to gate keep there is collab.
Speaker 2: Before anybody else.
Speaker 8: There's a collab with Kelloggs and Stranger Things, and they're.
Speaker 7: No collab collab.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I said collab lab, Yeah, I said yeah, okay,
Speaker 8: yeah yeah. They released a cereal called google It dema
Speaker 8: gorgon crunch dem.
Speaker 9: I just can't is it like it does it taste
Speaker 9: like way older than it should be?
Speaker 7: You have to eat it upside down?
Speaker 9: No, God, all the things we didn't need. I know
Speaker 9: you're about it a strange collab.
Speaker 5: Sorry, no, I love it.
Speaker 8: I Well, this is how they distracted, This is how
Speaker 8: capitalism gets us. They're like no health care but.
Speaker 2: Crunch.
Speaker 7: It is so goofy. If you google the box, it
Speaker 7: literally has the Dema Gorgon creature posing on it as
Speaker 7: if he's a Cereal mascot.
Speaker 8: Yeah, like smiling, its smiling funny.
Speaker 2: Yes, I kind of do need this.
Speaker 7: This is you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So Honeycombs and Lucky Charms is that basically the most.
Speaker 7: I think they're ego. They ego. They used to make
Speaker 7: little eggo.
Speaker 8: Cereals like little They're like waffuy syrupy tasting, and they
Speaker 8: have stranger thing marshmallows inside.
Speaker 10: I think it does remind me of like a simpler
Speaker 10: time from my childhood when that cereal was like there
Speaker 10: was like weenies crossed like with the Olympians, you know,
Speaker 10: like it was a bigger deal to have these cereal
Speaker 10: boxes to be something special.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, the design is definitely doing that. Like the
Speaker 1: cereal looks old like, it looks.
Speaker 8: Like absolutely they're leaning into that sort of retro thing
Speaker 8: that stranger things does.
Speaker 10: They're having fun and crunches for kids.
Speaker 7: It's also funny to me that this beast that is killed.
Speaker 8: I haven't followed all those stranger things but killed people,
Speaker 8: like so many children, right.
Speaker 9: I want some, get some dem drinks.
Speaker 8: The blot of children is now being like, come on, Gorgon,
Speaker 8: give us Marshals.
Speaker 9: We're gonna have like the clown from it.
Speaker 2: It cross over with Captain Crunch.
Speaker 7: It's it's deeply absurd and I'm here for it.
Speaker 2: Is it good? You've had it?
Speaker 5: I haven't had it yet.
Speaker 7: I just bought it yesterday and I had to go
Speaker 7: hunting for it.
Speaker 2: I'm sick.
Speaker 8: I hunt for like cereal forums or something. Yes, I
Speaker 8: follow a couple of the Cereal blogs. There's one called
Speaker 8: serial Lesslie. There's a couple are well done, very well done?
Speaker 8: What is your favorite classic Cereal?
Speaker 7: Favorite? Classic? Do you? If you? I hope? Are you
Speaker 7: going to count this as okay? Classic?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Class anything that's no, no, no, I'm gonna go classic.
Speaker 1: Dem Gorgon crunch before that.
Speaker 7: Cinnamon toast crunch.
Speaker 11: Good.
Speaker 8: They really figured it out with that one. But there's
Speaker 8: a couple I love in it.
Speaker 1: But you know it's I thought that that was like
Speaker 1: the most sugar that I could pack it into a
Speaker 1: spoonful of cereal. And then I had Raisin Brand crunch
Speaker 1: crunch is so sweet and like just right exactly like
Speaker 1: it is it, you know the best sweet and cereal
Speaker 1: is like sort of border somewhere between like food and

Speaker 9: the whole time.
Speaker 10: We don't have cereal culture anymore. We don't have like
Speaker 10: Saturday Morning cartoons. We can't male eat in from the
Speaker 10: cereal box. We don't do the puzzles on the back.
Speaker 10: I used to read the cereal boxes.
Speaker 7: It's the best thing to read.
Speaker 12: I'm such a boomerties.
Speaker 1: And the content has gotten worse. It's boring to give
Speaker 1: them bad ideas or anything.

Speaker 7: Must be a crossword.
Speaker 8: You's got to be find all the blanks, like find
Speaker 8: all the apples or whatever.
Speaker 7: You've got to have some hidden images. That should be
Speaker 7: a law.

Speaker 1: the content on the back of cereals.
Speaker 7: Amaze. We need amaze, like come on.
Speaker 9: Fuck the adequacy of our meats? What's going on with
Speaker 9: the cereal boxes?

Speaker 5: Look down to see like did I write it down?
Speaker 13: And I.
Speaker 2: Not having written down here somewhere this is a receipt.
Speaker 7: Okay, Okay, I got it.
Speaker 14: Okay, my overrated is I'm a little late, squid games.
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm a little late.
Speaker 1: I think we can all you know, You're not late,
Speaker 1: You're right on time to take a step back and
Speaker 1: re evaluate it.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's just okay, listen, it's never late because it's Netflix.
Speaker 2: Okay, just showed.
Speaker 14: Up on my cue and I went on this rant.
Speaker 14: I didn't know that I had last night my husband
Speaker 14: where I just was like.
Speaker 15: How can you as a nation connect with a film
Speaker 15: like Squid Games m so deeply right and then just
Speaker 15: move on live your life.
Speaker 14: Like like after Squid Games came out, that should have
Speaker 14: been the warning about trump Ism.
Speaker 2: I love that we're putting an ass on the end
Speaker 2: of Squid Game. Yeah, I was gonna say from you
Speaker 2: hanging out with Jack's dad a lot, Yeah, my dad.
Speaker 2: My dad would always called Brad Pit Brad Pitts.
Speaker 4: Squids game, you know, squids Games, squid Game.
Speaker 14: I'm basically a Percian.
Speaker 4: Oh you mean, just sort of like yeah, because it
Speaker 4: was the thing. It's the biggest Netflix show. Everyone's like, damn,
Speaker 4: that's hitting on some ship. And then it's like, all right,
Speaker 4: back to the mines.
Speaker 2: Damn.
Speaker 1: They would rather I then not be able to pay
Speaker 1: for health care. That's crazy.
Speaker 14: I just yeah, completely connect with this film.
Speaker 1: And Yeah, anyway, they.
Speaker 2: Did a great job then co opting it and turning
Speaker 2: into a reality competition show. Now that I am on
Speaker 2: time for there you go. I did watch season two
Speaker 2: of Squid Games, the show, the competition show, Like.
Speaker 15: I just think we should pay more attention.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's it's like one. I don't know, I feel like,
Speaker 4: you know, I totally get that. I guess my hope
Speaker 4: of it is if we stack up enough of these
Speaker 4: pieces of media that just incrementally are raising people's class consciousness,
Speaker 4: it will get it will reach a tipping point, like
Speaker 4: a match tipping point where people who because I feel
Speaker 4: like there are a ton of people who had never
Speaker 4: thought about this ship and saw a squid game like yo,
Speaker 4: oh interesting.
Speaker 16: Isn't that like kind of like here in a way
Speaker 16: and you're like, okay, go on where where they're just like, yo,
Speaker 16: it's fucked up and it's Korea.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Korean fucked up. Dude. I don't know if I
Speaker 2: want to go.
Speaker 7: There now, you know that's fair.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I do the bubble.
Speaker 4: Right right, right, But no, I totally get though too
Speaker 4: of like we have so many moments we're like, yeah,
Speaker 4: come on, baby, come on, y'all, let's do we see
Speaker 4: it now, right, we're all seeing it, And it's not
Speaker 4: enough time.
Speaker 16: I mean, we're so far back.
Speaker 14: Like I maybe my overrated should have been that question
Speaker 14: of like will there be a civil war in the
Speaker 14: United States? I just want to be like, have you
Speaker 14: been around in the last couple of years.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, you're tying he has his.
Speaker 11: Own military, Yeah, sure, sure, sure, yeah, I didn't realize
Speaker 11: like that this is the thing that happens where like
Speaker 11: I usually quit on TV shows pretty early, and so
Speaker 11: I stopped after the first season of Squid Games.
Speaker 1: I just was like, I think I know where this
Speaker 1: is going, and it feels like they're just like drawing
Speaker 1: it out, and like I didn't think that they really
Speaker 1: stuck the landing on the ending of the first season
Speaker 1: that she was like getting more popular, Like the season
Speaker 1: three debut was like broke all the all the season
Speaker 1: three already its season three, the third and final season,
Speaker 1: and it broke all the records. I'm just fine with
Speaker 1: that first season.
Speaker 12: I am ahead of the curve.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what in that way, we lut you
Speaker 4: absolutely that was in July, but you know, like we
Speaker 4: got a lot on our plates right now, you know.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I do wonder like how much of it
Speaker 1: is people being like, we get what's going on here,
Speaker 1: Like what an interesting way to depict the brutality of
Speaker 1: everyday life under neoliberalism. And then how many people were
Speaker 1: just like I like reality TV competitions, Yeah, wait.
Speaker 2: Till we yield them like in the movie. No, they
Speaker 2: don't kill them like in the movie. Ye just emotionally,
Speaker 2: it's just little paintballs that go off.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wish they'd shoot him in the chest.
Speaker 1: We do love a reality show where the contestants get killed.
Speaker 1: That's that's always been a very very popular thing with
Speaker 1: why what's another one?
Speaker 2: I'll watch out that running man? Oh oh, you mean
Speaker 2: like just the idea of like the idea of wo.
Speaker 14: Okay, here's my I'll watch the ship out of that.
Speaker 14: I'm fine with that. But afterwards, I'm gonna behind some
Speaker 14: goddamn legislation. I'm gonna right not gonna sit on my ass.
Speaker 4: Well not not while you have people like ao AOC
Speaker 4: saying we shouldn't primary Hakeem Jeffries.
Speaker 7: He's with.
Speaker 4: I don't know about the city council guy trying to
Speaker 4: run for him. Like you look, I get it. You're
Speaker 4: trying to ascend in the Democratic Party and you're not trying.
Speaker 2: But like, but like.
Speaker 14: She's ascending, she's descending, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: It's like a Dolly zoom in a movie where it's
Speaker 4: are they assuming in or pulling out?
Speaker 2: I can't hell the background certainly moving either way.
Speaker 1: The effect is unnerving. What is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 18: A fancy lip bomb. Just slather vaseline on there. Man,
Speaker 18: It's so cheap, yeah, and it works so good. I
Speaker 18: have experimented with a lot of lip bombs because uh
Speaker 18: it's uh, I get dry lips in the winter, and
Speaker 18: I you know, kind of bought into the hype of
Speaker 18: like doing lip scrubs and lip.
Speaker 12: Masks and all these sorts of things.
Speaker 18: Like, man, have you ever just tried to like put
Speaker 18: a bunch of weird Like I don't know. It's like
Speaker 18: they have things where it's like a silicone thing where
Speaker 18: you slap that on your lips and it like has
Speaker 18: some like grease on it.
Speaker 12: That's supposed to be it's like a it's a lip.
Speaker 2: Mask, right, like a sticker that you put on your lip.
Speaker 18: It's not a sticker. It's like it's like a it's
Speaker 18: like a silicone thing. And then it's like but it's wet.
Speaker 18: It comes into the package where it's like moisten with
Speaker 18: serrus a material that you like liquid. It's sort of
Speaker 18: soaked in a liquid and it kind of like, you know,
Speaker 18: you flat, it's like a blown it's kind of like
Speaker 18: the consistency of bolooney or it's like you know, like
Speaker 18: when Blooney's in the package and it's a little wet.
Speaker 12: Why is baloney wet? Or why the lip thing?
Speaker 2: Why? No?
Speaker 1: Why why is blooney way?
Speaker 2: It actually has to cover in the Icons episode.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like it's got a like bacterial like the
Speaker 1: liquid that they put on cold cuts is crazy, like
Speaker 1: it's like the primori. Yeah, it's like a spray of
Speaker 1: bacteria that fights off like bad bacteria. You're just like,
Speaker 1: it's like wet with bacteria. It's kind of gross. It's
Speaker 1: the thing that they kind of write out of. That's
Speaker 1: another so we're not grossed up.
Speaker 18: That's another thing that if like your if your meat
Speaker 18: is sort of glistening like a unicorn shimmer, like a
Speaker 18: rainbow shimmer on your meat, that's not usually a good thing.
Speaker 2: It's like a gasoline rainbow.
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's usually bacterial, I teach you.
Speaker 2: I looked at that one.
Speaker 4: I was like I had a piece of like roast
Speaker 4: beef that looked like that and that like iridescent thing,
Speaker 4: and it's it's it's called diffraction.
Speaker 2: That doesn't seem good, Miles.
Speaker 4: It's I don't know, it's just no, it's like the
Speaker 4: way it's cut, it just creates these grooves that reflect
Speaker 4: light differently. It wasn't because I was like, this shit's fucked,
Speaker 4: isn't it. It's fucked, it's fucked, and they're like, no, no, no,
Speaker 4: it's really it's okay, yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 12: Well I think for roast beef it is.
Speaker 18: But I think for like like cold cuts, where you
Speaker 18: it's like a uniform texture. I'm not is that always
Speaker 18: the case where if it's like shiny and glittery.
Speaker 1: I feel like roast beef it's like it gets a
Speaker 1: green sheen, turkey gets a blue shiny thing on. It
Speaker 1: just gross to me.
Speaker 4: Maybe the what I will say is don't take food
Speaker 4: safety advice from me. I get food poison at least
Speaker 4: three times a week, so I know if I have
Speaker 4: my point about diffraction.
Speaker 18: Yeah, if your fish is by illuminescing, I know that
Speaker 18: means you should probably not good.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: If your fish is by aluminescence, it might be diffraction.
Speaker 2: You should have just gone into that.
Speaker 1: But okay, So lip mask similar to like I've talked
Speaker 1: before about how my wife will put on these Korean
Speaker 1: face masks and without warrant, she doesn't warn me, and
Speaker 1: then I just come into our bedroom and she's sitting
Speaker 1: there and they're very scared, like they look like the
Speaker 1: face mask. They look like the face mask from Strangers,
Speaker 1: the Strangers, you know, just like blank. Oh, because you're
Speaker 1: just a mouth version of that.
Speaker 2: You just got like a little.
Speaker 18: It's the I've only used it a couple of times
Speaker 18: because it's not look at anything, doesn't do anything, but
Speaker 18: it's like.
Speaker 12: It's like a pair of larger pair of lips.
Speaker 2: That's fun, you know.
Speaker 12: Like the wax lips like anymore. It's kind of like that,
Speaker 12: So it's a little funny.
Speaker 1: I used to do that all the time with bologny
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, turn my bologney into lips
Speaker 1: like this kind of they do a little lip thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh man, now you know what you would look
Speaker 1: like if you were a cartoon character exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 12: So yeah, don't work. Vacilline works really well. That's super cheap.
Speaker 1: And you can get it in like a little squeeze tube.
Speaker 1: You don't have to carry the big honey pot of
Speaker 1: vasiline around like money.
Speaker 18: And used to it is fun though, to get the
Speaker 18: gig that has like.
Speaker 2: A penny in there and I.
Speaker 18: Gotta loop up my lips now just dip a hand
Speaker 18: in there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 17: You know, they say romance is dead, you guys, and I.
Speaker 19: Agree because what is underrated is the thing that no
Speaker 19: one's doing anymore, which is where when men would very
Speaker 19: romantically kiss women from like their hands all the way
Speaker 19: up to their biceps and back down. They don't like
Speaker 19: that anymore, No, consensually, we need to bring that back.
Speaker 17: You think the girls don't like it, I think they're.
Speaker 17: I think they're they're like, where did that go?
Speaker 2: Yeah? You're talking pep style.
Speaker 4: Yeah you're talking Gomez Adams, Yeah, talking about peak Raoul Julia?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 17: Yeah, is there anything more romantic.
Speaker 4: Rather than Yeah, you're just like, I'm just gonna kiss
Speaker 4: closer to the thing I ultimately want.
Speaker 2: Is that cool?
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say you start down here? Yeah? Man,
Speaker 1: so many smooth smooches. That guy was average and an average.
Speaker 2: Dang bro. I just realized, I'm gonna have to tell her, majesty,
Speaker 2: we got we got work to do. I'm good loving
Speaker 2: you the right way, loving you. Yeah, I think I
Speaker 2: think you're right about that.
Speaker 1: I think I think that's a good, you know, a
Speaker 1: good move that I'm gonna try.
Speaker 19: I mean, yeah, you give me a little Yeah, when
Speaker 19: your when your love life really explained?
Speaker 2: She did like I got chapstick.
Speaker 19: Yeah, she's gonna at first she's gonna be like what,
Speaker 19: I hate this, and then it's she's the animal less
Speaker 19: between you will be undeniable.
Speaker 2: Undeniable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's actually big messy swirls of vasline around my
Speaker 1: mouth because I've got real dry lips.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to I want ever to be pleasant.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bridger, what's something you think is underrated?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 2: Do you know?
Speaker 13: What I was thinking about was buying rocks. I don't
Speaker 13: know if you've ever had to buy rocks, but recently
Speaker 13: I had to buy some rocks and the experience was incredible.
Speaker 13: It was so every element of it was so uh
Speaker 13: not what I expected. I had to go to like
Speaker 13: a landscape supply center and it felt so far removed
Speaker 13: from La. The two people just knew about landscape like
Speaker 13: they knew about rocks and dirt they didn't. And then
Speaker 13: I bought a pound of seventy five pounds of rocks.
Speaker 13: It costs twenty dollars. Wow, I mean I would have
Speaker 13: assumed that's like one hundred and fifty dollars. Seventy five
Speaker 13: pounds of anything for twenty dollars is an amazing deal.
Speaker 13: So it just felt great to be like walking away
Speaker 13: with this thing I could barely carry, and I had
Speaker 13: spent twenty dollars on it, and they knew, you know,
Speaker 13: they knew about every type of rocks.
Speaker 2: It was just very s rock though, what are we
Speaker 2: talking about?
Speaker 13: These were well, of course I got the absolute just
Speaker 13: cheapest rocks, but I had to buy some. I was
Speaker 13: looking for white rocks because our dog has been eating
Speaker 13: all of the dirt in our house plants, so I
Speaker 13: was like to cover it with rocks. But they didn't
Speaker 13: have entirely. So they're kind of like a beige, sandy
Speaker 13: colored rock that are each about the size of a
Speaker 13: large potato. Okay, right right, because I couldn't. We didn't
Speaker 13: want rocks that she could swallow, yeah yeah, yeah, or
Speaker 13: even take up in her mouth. So as plain ass rocks,
Speaker 13: doe w you ever?
Speaker 6: Like, I walk around and just like that's like the
Speaker 6: border right there, right, money, there's pretty money.
Speaker 2: Sitting around here.
Speaker 13: I finally found my way out of the show biz business. Yeah, no,
Speaker 13: I really I would recommend buying rocks. Yeah, it's very nice.
Speaker 13: You find a nice local landscape store and go buy
Speaker 13: yourself some rocks there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, seventy five dollars. There's seventy five pounds for twenty
Speaker 2: five bucks.
Speaker 7: Can you imagine?
Speaker 2: I can't? That means wrong to me?
Speaker 13: I know, I felt I was like, well, this doesn't
Speaker 13: add up in any way. They could have charged me
Speaker 13: whatever they wanted, right.
Speaker 1: I feel like that at that point, you're almost like
Speaker 1: paying people to just like take them out of there.
Speaker 2: So heavy. Could you like just get this out of here.
Speaker 1: We'll give you a half off, just like please get
Speaker 1: these wrong movies out of our rock store.
Speaker 2: Or like a gym situation. Yeah, did I ever tell
Speaker 2: you guys about.
Speaker 6: My when I lived in Brooklyn, like many many, many
Speaker 6: years ago. My idea for a gym, which is just
Speaker 6: a warehouse with a huge, huge, like forty foot tall
Speaker 6: pile of sand in the middle of it, and for
Speaker 6: fifty dollars a month, you could climb the pile and
Speaker 6: for fifty dollars, or for fifty dollars a month you
Speaker 6: could punch the pile, and for seventy five you could
Speaker 6: climb or punch it. And that's the only rule.
Speaker 13: Was there any what about like moving the sand into
Speaker 13: a different hill of sand.
Speaker 1: Oh, you're talking about a different level as member there,
Speaker 1: that's really yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to go.
Speaker 1: To the help build the second pile now you're talking about.
Speaker 6: I just wanted to build a gym that was an
Speaker 6: enormous pile of sand in a Brooklyn warehouse, which.
Speaker 2: I guess doesn't really exist here.
Speaker 6: The most difficult thing to attain about that now would
Speaker 6: be the Brooklyn warehouse.
Speaker 2: That your sand, right, that's right. You got to move
Speaker 2: elsewhere man Harlem warehouse. All right, let's take a quick break.
Speaker 2: We'll come back. We'll get into some news. We'll be
Speaker 2: right back. What is something you say is overrated?
Speaker 20: Family vacations are overrated? This is obviously we're coming off
Speaker 20: of the holidays when happened went to Sedona, which is
Speaker 20: also overrated.
Speaker 21: Sorry but.
Speaker 1: It's but as an energy of vortex, but.
Speaker 21: Vortex. Here's the problem with Sedona.
Speaker 20: And I apologize to everyone who's in Arizona, but the
Speaker 20: fact that you and Sedona are in Arizona is probably
Speaker 20: the first problem because this is like it's a total desecration.
Speaker 21: There's like hotels.
Speaker 20: And you know, condos, being built right up into Sedona,
Speaker 20: and it was like, Okay, if this were in California,
Speaker 20: I'm like, Gavin would at least have this be protected territory.
Speaker 20: We wouldn't be able to, you know, be right here anyway.
Speaker 20: That's not what I'm I just feel like vacations with
Speaker 20: fan family. Like I was with my eighty year old
Speaker 20: mom and she was like, your kid is loud, and
Speaker 20: I'm like, yeah, she's three, she's a toddler.
Speaker 21: You know, Like why is she so loud.
Speaker 20: I just feel like I've gone on vacations with friends
Speaker 20: and you're so much more polite to your friends. You're
Speaker 20: so much more sort of understanding to your friends. You
Speaker 20: you know, you just kind of like you don't grill
Speaker 20: them about their life choices the way your family does.
Speaker 20: And I feel like that's underrated or overrated as family
Speaker 20: vacations and underrated are you know.
Speaker 21: Being with friends the family you choose.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's actually the theme of I've actually noticed that.
Speaker 1: That's the theme of my favorite series of films, the
Speaker 1: Avengers movies, that really you can have found family.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and Furious too.
Speaker 20: You have to have like a special yeah, you have
Speaker 20: a special power, right, right.
Speaker 2: At least that I mean, like I get that too.
Speaker 4: It is like because any interaction with your family, it's
Speaker 4: usually at least with my Asian family, it's there's no
Speaker 4: like talking like you're always just gonna get dragged.
Speaker 2: On some level. Is just how you talk and that's
Speaker 2: like normal.
Speaker 4: Ye, Well, how come we haven't done this? I'm like,
Speaker 4: didn't you say you're gonna work out? Wasn't that a
Speaker 4: thing you were gonna say? You don't look like it.
Speaker 4: I'm like, well, you know, a lot's happened. They're like,
Speaker 4: is your son okay? He seems skinny? I'm like, what
Speaker 4: the fuck?
Speaker 2: You what?
Speaker 7: It's fine?
Speaker 20: Yeah, there is no normal, like we can't just talk
Speaker 20: about a book or a movie or a show or
Speaker 20: like any normal ass conversation or you know in oh god, yeah,
Speaker 20: it's it's a it's bad.
Speaker 21: It's always like if you weren't doing what you're doing, now,
Speaker 21: what would you do?
Speaker 2: Do you think you could have made some better decisions?
Speaker 5: You?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 21: And it's like, first of all, there are no jobs.
Speaker 21: Can I just say that, mom? And also I'm doing
Speaker 21: pretty good?
Speaker 2: Are you? Yeah?
Speaker 18: What the fuck?
Speaker 1: I try to bring a family vacation energy to a
Speaker 1: friend vacation asking questions about their their five year plant. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's interesting. I feel like you have less hair than
Speaker 1: when I saw you last night.
Speaker 2: Another thing said, street, why don't call me more?
Speaker 21: Yeah, exactly, friend, zon't do that. I love that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right? Great?
Speaker 1: Overrated, underrated Francesca Sedona caught some strays despite being one
Speaker 1: of our one of our finest energy war I was
Speaker 1: there for like a day, and I just remember, like
Speaker 1: so many people talking about it being an energy vortext.
Speaker 2: This was a long time ago. Maybe they've moved on.
Speaker 20: It's a big Salem witch trial. Everyone's convinced there is
Speaker 20: energy vartex so someone sort of like suspect. You know,
Speaker 20: we're all, yes, there's energy here.
Speaker 16: You know.
Speaker 21: It's kind of like a mass illusion.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like it.
Speaker 21: Also very sacred.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure.
Speaker 1: I've seen the plans for the latest Western that they're
Speaker 1: building into the side of that adobe.
Speaker 21: Absolutely, absolutely, the ancient sea cave.
Speaker 2: What are some of you thinks overrated?
Speaker 22: Okay, so frivolous, leading to like an honest moral compass,
Speaker 22: point half billion dollar movies are overrated. I nobody's living that.
Speaker 22: We're almost there listen. I tried to watch the New
Speaker 22: Mission Impossible, and it was very difficult to watch.
Speaker 1: It's a challenging film, Kaitlyn is a challenging film, and
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up.
Speaker 22: Deeply challenging to sit through, and the it is just
Speaker 22: my opinion. If you love these, I'm not coming for you.
Speaker 22: But when I looked up most expensive films, all of
Speaker 22: them are tortuous to me. It is a long list
Speaker 22: of like the New Jurassic Parks and the Avengers, and
Speaker 22: they just they've all slipped up. They've lost something. You've
Speaker 22: lost something, and having too much is sometimes so the
Speaker 22: heartfelt overrated thing is being super rich sucks. Having enough
Speaker 22: money is awesome. Right again forty four it finally happened
Speaker 22: to me. I can drive that SUPERU. I do own
Speaker 22: a home? Is it a manufactured home? In twenty nine palms.
Speaker 22: I don't want to talk about it. But I have
Speaker 22: enough money and that is beautiful. Being super rich seems
Speaker 22: horrible and latent. You have to make a series a
Speaker 22: cascade of awful decisions, one worse than the next, and
Speaker 22: nobody edits you. So you movies. I led to life,
Speaker 22: as is so often the case, too much is a
Speaker 22: bad thing. You can spend too much money on your
Speaker 22: movie and it is awful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you start getting studio notes when you get too rich,
Speaker 1: you start you got a lot of studio notes coming in.
Speaker 12: I feel like.
Speaker 22: Everyone's note got into Mission Impossible. I feel like every
Speaker 22: single post it that anyone took an idea down on
Speaker 22: is physically manifested into the film.
Speaker 23: Just not.
Speaker 21: They scrapt nothing, they edited nothing.
Speaker 22: I looked it up and Broke Back Mountain made the
Speaker 22: same amount of money in cash dollars as cost fourteen
Speaker 22: million to make, made something like close to one hundred
Speaker 22: and seventy million. Mission Impossible cost roughly four hundred million
Speaker 22: dollars to make, made something like five hundred and ninety
Speaker 22: eight million. So is it insane that it made that
Speaker 22: much money. It's like it had to. The stakes were
Speaker 22: so high of what it had to make back, and
Speaker 22: it did. But you could have made like twenty eight
Speaker 22: broke Back Mountains. It's Broke Back Mountain for everyone. Absolutely not.
Speaker 22: If you made twenty eight films with fourteen million dollars,
Speaker 22: would there be one that everybody enjoys.
Speaker 21: That is actually good?
Speaker 17: Probably?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 20: Right?
Speaker 22: Yeah, just in trying to please everyone. They pleased me
Speaker 22: not at all. Yeah, So if you enjoy these films,
Speaker 22: I'm really happy for you.
Speaker 17: I think one enjoying them.
Speaker 22: I don't have to be right about this, but I
Speaker 22: do feel like the more expensive the movie is, the
Speaker 22: more likely I am to drift away and start imdbing
Speaker 22: and wikipediing daring it.
Speaker 4: It's it's I think that's spot on though, because also
Speaker 4: I don't know anyone who like earnestly rides for the
Speaker 4: Mission Impossible franchise. I watch them all out of habit
Speaker 4: or like me, I'm like, if I'm on an airplane, sure,
Speaker 4: sure exactly. At the last three or actually four Mission
Speaker 4: Possible films have only been seen on a plane for me,
Speaker 4: because I'm like, I can't I'm not going to the
Speaker 4: theater to see this anymore.
Speaker 1: But I think what it was making this point about
Speaker 1: those movies, I might have been on the Hollywood Handbook podcast.
Speaker 1: What they were saying that, like they can't remember which
Speaker 1: of the movies they've seen. Yeah, I think it was
Speaker 1: the Hollywood guys, and like that's my problem with Mission Impossible.
Speaker 1: All the movies are indistinguishable from one of them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I don't remember which one is which, or it's
Speaker 1: some weird detail.
Speaker 2: I'm like, where's the one with Carrie Russell's weird eye. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: I remember that one right.
Speaker 4: There's the one where Sawyer from Lost gets off in
Speaker 4: the first scene. I remember that one. Then there's a
Speaker 4: one with Philip Seymour Hoffman. He's too good for this.
Speaker 2: That's also a third one with carry Russell's eye. Oh
Speaker 2: my god. Yeah, you've only got one.
Speaker 1: I think you've only seen one, but you just don't realize.
Speaker 2: There's the Abram's Mystery Box.
Speaker 1: One is the one where Tom Cruise runs a lot.
Speaker 2: He's on a motorcycle in that one.
Speaker 22: Yeah movie, he's underwater for forty minutes. He's in a
Speaker 22: plane for forty minutes. He just like watching a man
Speaker 22: who desperately wants to die while making a movie is
Speaker 22: becoming difficult.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And I think the other part too, is because like
Speaker 4: in the nineties, saying something like.
Speaker 2: They spent one hundred million dollars making this, everyone was like,
Speaker 2: holy wow, Yeah, we gotta see this. James Cameron built
Speaker 2: a Titanic in Mexico. Yeah, we're gonna go fucking watch.
Speaker 24: Like, yeah, I think I'm gonna go see that one,
Speaker 24: but I think after I think we hit the peak
Speaker 24: after the first Avatar film, and that was the last
Speaker 24: time you could be like, guys, this costs so much
Speaker 24: fucking money, you have to see it.
Speaker 2: And they were like.
Speaker 21: Shutting more and they kept making avatars and he didn't
Speaker 21: need to do that.
Speaker 5: He didn't You're gonna have to do that.
Speaker 22: I just feel like it's like being super rich or
Speaker 22: like having enough money. Having enough money lets you breathe
Speaker 22: free and clear. We all know that, Like that's what
Speaker 22: you're striving for. You don't want to be super rich.
Speaker 22: You don't want to be the pallenger guys in the
Speaker 22: middle of like a Wall Street Journal interview, Like you
Speaker 22: want to actually just be able to breathe and enjoy
Speaker 22: just enough versus excess. Is basically what I'm saying. And
Speaker 22: this was made manifest by the new mission impossible for me.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see it. What you're gonna have sell.
Speaker 22: Much fun all the other mission impossibles for a story,
Speaker 22: it doesn't make sense because it sucks.
Speaker 2: It fucking sucks. I watched it recently on a plane.
Speaker 2: I was like, what the fuck.
Speaker 1: Variety Top ten Movie of the Year Tennis Movie of
Speaker 1: the Year.
Speaker 22: Variety was also like the number ten best grossing. It
Speaker 22: costs four hundred million dollars to make and it's number
Speaker 22: ten on the top grossing list of this year. Right Jesus, Okay,
Speaker 22: I'm done you screaming like an old woman. But I
Speaker 22: do appreciate you allowing me to share this point of view.
Speaker 2: We agree.
Speaker 1: What is something, Blake? Do you think it's underrated?
Speaker 2: Underrated?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 25: You heard coats, so it was under underrated?
Speaker 2: You heard me, right, God, I didn't start. No, No,
Speaker 2: you won't.
Speaker 17: You refuse to trying on a new attitude. It's pretty embarrassing.
Speaker 25: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm thrilled you are comfortable enough to
Speaker 25: try it out with me that I can test this out.
Speaker 25: I think it's great and you should police continue to show.
Speaker 2: But uh so when you did, Blake? All right? When
Speaker 2: we're here, yeah, we're.
Speaker 1: A family here, and I will be emotionally abusive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for that exact reason. That's right.
Speaker 25: To keep with the theme, underrated vents under like arm
Speaker 25: vents on a jacket or a coat where sometimes you
Speaker 25: know it's winter here on the East coast, and if
Speaker 25: you can unzip underneath like or it could be like
Speaker 25: the back is too hard because you'll want to be
Speaker 25: you know, seem back zipping, but you do sometimes go
Speaker 25: from a cold temperature inside, but you don't want to
Speaker 25: take off the whole coat. So to have these vents
Speaker 25: it can allow you to still get some air circulating
Speaker 25: without like you know, because my face, I'm my face
Speaker 25: gets so red often when I took them in from
Speaker 25: like cold weather to like restaurants the temp change is
Speaker 25: to the temp change is tough and guinness, which is
Speaker 25: euro which is another thing where if I drink get us,
Speaker 25: my face also turns red. But no, I think these
Speaker 25: are and it's it's doesn't seem like that big of
Speaker 25: a lift to put these in more jackets, you know,
Speaker 25: like they're not unfashionable. You can't see the zipper really,
Speaker 25: so just yeah, throw those in there.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 17: I like that as a sweaty, sweatier gentleman now and again.
Speaker 2: And I support that.
Speaker 1: Anyone ever tried it on T shirts because I feel
Speaker 1: like I could use those like everywhere so I could
Speaker 1: stop sweating through my T shirts all the time.
Speaker 25: Did you ever own pants that you could zip off
Speaker 25: the bottom part of the pants and have shorts.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think I just big time. Yeah do
Speaker 2: I have them? Have I ever? Are we wearing them?
Speaker 2: I have some from U.
Speaker 1: You know, my kids are cub Scouts, and so that's
Speaker 1: a big part of the cub Scout wardrobe is having
Speaker 1: pants that on zip around the knees and then you
Speaker 1: but like don't hide the zippers, so you're just you
Speaker 1: just have like zippers around your knees.
Speaker 2: They look terrible.
Speaker 17: I warm at my wedding.
Speaker 2: You look great. You look great.
Speaker 25: I have a hat that I zip the top off
Speaker 25: of when I want to wear a visor.
Speaker 2: I mean, I randomly.
Speaker 17: I've never worn a tank top in my life until
Speaker 17: like two years ago.
Speaker 2: It changed.
Speaker 17: It's it changed my entire existence.
Speaker 1: I think I haven't gone there yet, but I'm thinking
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 17: The tank top, dude, Like in l A, it just
Speaker 17: gets so hot and sunny that at some point you're like, okay,
Speaker 17: it's like a convertible for my for my shoulders.
Speaker 2: Let's get this. And it's a fun.
Speaker 17: But I get to do as I always warned my
Speaker 17: I do warn my wife before I wear it not
Speaker 17: to get too turned on. That's a fun little bit
Speaker 17: we have.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just text her before she comes home, just
Speaker 2: so you know it. Heads up, Yeah, you have somebody.
Speaker 1: Coming home with you, just don't yeah, don't let them in.
Speaker 1: It will all be too horny. Did you guys ever
Speaker 1: have to? Just speaking of convertible clothing, my wife and
Speaker 1: I realized that we both had the same idea for
Speaker 1: an invention when we were kids, and I feel like
Speaker 1: eighty percent of people had this idea for an invention,
Speaker 1: which is shoes that grow with you, like shoes that
Speaker 1: adjust and like grow.
Speaker 2: WHOA interesting.
Speaker 1: I think it's like my third grade science project was like, guys,
Speaker 1: I've got the invention that's going to change the future.
Speaker 1: And then I think I've like read that like hit
Speaker 1: people in history tried to make it happen too, and
Speaker 1: it's just like it doesn't make any sense, like like
Speaker 1: in theory it's a and then practically it's like we
Speaker 1: have to like put so much shit into that, like
Speaker 1: just to it just makes more sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need a new material.
Speaker 17: That's they'd have to spend what they're spending on AI
Speaker 17: to get that tour.
Speaker 2: Right exactly one day, though one day.
Speaker 25: I think it's worth the investment. I'm picturing it almost
Speaker 25: like a like a bus, like one of those longer
Speaker 25: buses where they part of it. It's not all metal,
Speaker 25: it's some of it's like rubber, which you know, I
Speaker 25: was studying buses for the past six years and this
Speaker 25: is in my thesis. But part of its rubber like
Speaker 25: accordion style. So I wonder if that's how it works
Speaker 25: and we don't have to workshop it's no, No, it's.
Speaker 1: A good idea because mine invented. Mine included like like
Speaker 1: a wheel that you would turn to like get it
Speaker 1: to expand out like a like almost rank Yeah, like
Speaker 1: a roller skate key or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And also kids all know what that is, right, We're
Speaker 1: still roller skating.
Speaker 17: We're still these these little kindergarteners.
Speaker 2: I uh.
Speaker 17: It also is the Ernest Hemingway poem.
Speaker 1: Right, That's what I'm trying to avoid is for anyone
Speaker 1: to ever have baby shoes that were never worn in
Speaker 1: any way that wasn't completely tragic, all.
Speaker 23: Right, And that's going to do it For this special
Speaker 23: Martin Luther King Day edition of Oops All Overrated, Underrated,
Speaker 23: We'll be back tomorrow with a whole last episode and
Speaker 23: we'll see.
