Speaker 1: You don't know, should about shout this? Dude? Did you
Speaker 1: watch the fight? The coke T shirt?
Speaker 2: I know, but look at this guy like you saidden
Speaker 2: the voice of an angel?
Speaker 1: What Yeah? Chills, dude, chills.
Speaker 2: That guy's got a bad guys got a pocket full
Speaker 2: of g h B probably to stay the fuck away
Speaker 2: from him.
Speaker 1: T shirt and cargo shorts. Yeah, with the Oakley's I
Speaker 1: think in his cargo pocket. Oh so the dude.
Speaker 2: Okay, No, I didn't watch the fight because I it's.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I knew, we knew what it was.
Speaker 3: I had my own evolution because also, again, I don't
Speaker 3: know how many times I'm gonna.
Speaker 1: Fall for this dude's about to beat Logan Paul's ass
Speaker 1: gonna happen that that trick. It's happened to me fucking seven.
Speaker 4: You shouldn't have watched, though, because the fight before the
Speaker 4: Paulityson fight was incredible.
Speaker 1: I can't remember the ladies' names, but they were. Was
Speaker 1: that the one that ended controversially?
Speaker 4: It ended controversially, but I swear to god, they threw
Speaker 4: like a thousand punches each.
Speaker 1: It was so fucking wild. It was so crazy, just
Speaker 1: trading blows. It was very it was very entertaining.
Speaker 3: So to escape it, I went to go see Red One,
Speaker 3: and it was so funny. When we were walking through
Speaker 3: the mall to the movie theater, so many dudes like
Speaker 3: would have phones out and people were like, how we doing?
Speaker 1: How we doing? Like it was the fucking World Series
Speaker 1: or so.
Speaker 3: The last time I saw people in LA looking at
Speaker 3: other men with their phones, I'd be like, how we doing?
Speaker 1: How we do? It was the World Series?
Speaker 3: And I caught it happened like twice, but that was
Speaker 3: still odd to see that happen twice.
Speaker 2: In all were like one dude to another was like, hey,
Speaker 2: you watch it, well, how we doing?
Speaker 1: What we doing? How we doing? How are you doing?
Speaker 2: And what was the the assumption that they were cheering
Speaker 2: for Mike Tyson when you.
Speaker 1: Watch the fight.
Speaker 4: The audience in the arena, which was like I think
Speaker 4: seventy thousand people, like when they announced Paul dead. Ass quiet, yeah, people,
Speaker 4: The excitement was purely for Mike Tyson.
Speaker 1: People were really like, Yo, he's back.
Speaker 3: It's honestly genius to be to bait people with the
Speaker 3: promise of being like, and you will see they're dead,
Speaker 3: It's gonna come back, sir, Right, they're gonna get their
Speaker 3: come up. It's know the fuck they're not who fools,
Speaker 3: But thank you for your money and we'll keep it moving.

Speaker 2: Anyways, Uh, this is the episode where we tell you
Speaker 2: what's trending on this Monday morning, also tell you what's
Speaker 2: going on with us by giving you a.
Speaker 1: Little overrated underrated. Uh.
Speaker 2: For us, we get to we get to do the
Speaker 2: overrated underrated this time.
Speaker 1: You get a glimpse in our screwy guests. Now that's uh,
Speaker 1: give us a taste of our own medicine. Uh.
Speaker 2: And Miles, let's kick it off with a little underrated
Speaker 2: what's something he thinks underrated?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 3: Wait, Terry, right, he's the kicker, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: all right, let's kick things off like Adam vinit. Terry,
Speaker 3: I got it. Look, I got my NFL references are dated.
Speaker 3: If you haven't got any of that.
Speaker 1: Let's kick things off like Justin Tucker the Greatest Quon
Speaker 1: Barkley Charles is Kid anyway, what are you underrated? Underrated?
Speaker 1: Oh dude? Watching cheesy movies in the theater? So I
Speaker 1: saw Red One with her Madge.
Speaker 3: We went because we were like looking at what's out.
Speaker 3: I'm like, look, I'm I'm about this holiday movie life.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, let's go. H. She wilfully accepted.
Speaker 3: We went this was this was be because I didn't
Speaker 3: want to watch the Mike Tyson Fight.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, let's go to a movie. I
Speaker 1: would rather watch Chess.
Speaker 3: And it was just it's quite an experience because in
Speaker 3: the beginning, most of the movies I'll see are like
Speaker 3: our ra like adult movies or whatever, and it's usually
Speaker 3: not on opening night.
Speaker 1: So it's interesting to go to like a movie that's.
Speaker 2: Somewhat kid focused, even though it's like not like a
Speaker 2: PGPG kind of movie.
Speaker 1: I think it's PG thirteen.
Speaker 3: And there's this moment during the trailers they played some
Speaker 3: violent ass fucking trailer for this new Marvel movie like
Speaker 3: Craven or The Killer or some shit.
Speaker 1: Crave on the Hunter. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this dud's like stabbing a guy in the throat
Speaker 2: a bunch in the trailer and it's like, my wild
Speaker 2: ass Marvel trailer. Then as soon as it ended, this
Speaker 2: little boy behind us was sobbing and was like, why.
Speaker 1: Does everything have to be so scary? Yeah?
Speaker 3: At first, my heartless inner teenager laughed at his ass
Speaker 3: because like, motherfucker, we in the movies. Bro Okay, that
Speaker 3: wasn't even a Red Band trailer. Then I snap back
Speaker 3: to reality. I remembered I was also the parent of
Speaker 3: a young child, and I was like, yeah, why the
Speaker 3: fuck is this shit all scary?
Speaker 1: Man? They got kids in here, Yeah, they don't need
Speaker 1: to see all this.
Speaker 2: Even'm at that age two where I'm like, why'd y'all
Speaker 2: do this?
Speaker 1: What'd you buy there?
Speaker 2: We just watched Apollo thirteen last night. Was not It's
Speaker 2: way older than I remember it being, I guess because
Speaker 2: I only watched it when it had first come.
Speaker 1: Out, but it, uh that shit is old. Tom Hanks
Speaker 1: is a young man.
Speaker 2: And it opens with Kevin Bacon, who's a real his
Speaker 2: character type I would describe as poonhound.
Speaker 1: And it opens with him doing.
Speaker 2: Talking to a woman and like being like, here's a
Speaker 2: bottle and like, pretend this ball he's going into your cavity, right,
Speaker 2: And it goes in and glides in there so nice
Speaker 2: and smooth, and it feels so good.
Speaker 1: It's like, ohife was like what the fuck? Man?
Speaker 2: It was just you know, it's like I don't like
Speaker 2: have a have a little double entendre up top, but
Speaker 2: like that's that's not even.
Speaker 1: Double when you're putting a bottle into a Yeah, we know. Uh.
Speaker 3: Then the best part though, there was this woman sitting
Speaker 3: in the front row and mind you. The theater wasn't
Speaker 3: like fully packed, so like you, there was no need
Speaker 3: to sit in the front row at all, Like this
Speaker 3: was a conscious decision by this person to sit there.
Speaker 1: She laughed at damn near everything that was audience bullseye.
Speaker 1: There was just one where like Crampis came out and
Speaker 1: she's like.
Speaker 2: And then there was another part where like these snow
Speaker 2: men came out like to fight body and it was
Speaker 2: like a full body turned sideways in your seat, full
Speaker 2: body laughters.
Speaker 3: It was and so and it was wild too because
Speaker 3: like in the beginning, I was like, this shit is annoying,
Speaker 3: like you are you high? Like that that wasn't even
Speaker 3: a joke, Like there were things that weren't even there
Speaker 3: were like transitional sentences and she'd be.
Speaker 1: Like and I was like, this is fucking weird.
Speaker 3: Then it was funny because I was like I was
Speaker 3: starting to predict when she would laugh, and I would
Speaker 3: like nudge her majesty next one like here comes here,
Speaker 3: cos gonna laugh at this, And it became a game
Speaker 3: then endearing because it was clear this person was just
Speaker 3: getting the biggest kick out of the movie. And in
Speaker 3: a way, it like being around. Whether it was the
Speaker 3: child who thought the trailer was too scary, or the
Speaker 3: woman loving every line in the front row. It like
Speaker 3: brought me kind of back to earth in this way
Speaker 3: that was very underrated that I did not expect. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: but in that context where like you're forced to be
Speaker 3: around people being themselves in like a very honest way
Speaker 3: and just kind of be.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, cool, all right, all right. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Some people said that during the election results they just
Speaker 2: like went to a movie and uh that, like I wish.
Speaker 1: I had done something like that.
Speaker 2: Beca's a lot of pain, slow downing, ice cold realizations that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just made it made.
Speaker 2: I made a doll of cells a out of a
Speaker 2: bunch of hair I found in the bathtub. Yeah, great advice.
Speaker 2: All right, my underrated Mexico uh pronounced by some as Mexico. Okay, So,
Speaker 2: first of all, just for my whole life ever since
Speaker 2: the George W. Bush presidency, when people talk about moving
Speaker 2: out of the US because the incoming administration is a
Speaker 2: nightmare and no shade that people are perfectly especially right now,
Speaker 2: within their rights to be like that.
Speaker 1: I I want to get the fuck out of here.
Speaker 1: The move has always been Canada.
Speaker 2: We should we should look at Canada's because it's white,
Speaker 2: uh huh in Mexico English yet. Yeah, but Mexico seems like,
Speaker 2: first of all, just seems better based on everything that
Speaker 2: I've heard. We we have somebody who works on this
Speaker 2: show who has moved to Mexico, Brian the editor, and
Speaker 2: it's me everybody telling us this for a long time,
Speaker 2: that it's a lovely place, but not that you should
Speaker 2: move there.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't move there.
Speaker 4: Only some people should move to Mexico because it is
Speaker 4: an adjustment. It is a different place culturally, and you
Speaker 4: have to you have to come correct or you're gonna
Speaker 4: have you're gonna have problems.
Speaker 1: Check with Brian first, Yeah, ask Brian before.
Speaker 4: Yeah, check out my my word press and my other
Speaker 4: the thing that people blog with and all the other stuff.
Speaker 3: But you're but your's it's not merely the living there
Speaker 3: part just kind of in the in its totality because
Speaker 3: I know that.
Speaker 1: Guess who has a woman as president right now?
Speaker 2: Guess who just brands basically, So yeah, like the post
Speaker 2: election conversations about neoliberalism being at a dead end, and
Speaker 2: also the argument that like actually Kamala did pretty well,
Speaker 2: like compared to how incumbent parties everywhere else in Western
Speaker 2: countries like got cleaned out after There is a one
Speaker 2: word answer to both of those, and it is Mexico.
Speaker 2: The incumbent party just won a landslide in June by
Speaker 2: running on a camp running a campaign that was like
Speaker 2: basically just defined neoliberalism as an upward wealth redistribution method.
Speaker 1: Oh right, basically this is our system right at present.
Speaker 1: This your system is neoliberalism, and it just makes rich
Speaker 1: people richer at the expense of you. They they get
Speaker 1: your money, is essentially what it is. And they were
Speaker 1: just very clear in their messaging. They've been in power
Speaker 1: since twenty eighteen, this party, and then this was the
Speaker 1: successor coming through and win Amelo and then he picked
Speaker 1: Claudia to succeed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't know it just it feels like
Speaker 2: this in a world where people where the mainstream media
Speaker 2: didn't have this massive pro neoliberalism bias, this would be
Speaker 2: a massive fucking story that everybody would be talking about
Speaker 2: right now. And instead it's just like when you google
Speaker 2: the Marina landslide victory, like the first story is the
Speaker 2: economist being like why they're on it, why this sends
Speaker 2: Mexico down a dangerous path because yeah, and like one
Speaker 2: of the details, so Chappo had like an episode about
Speaker 2: the history of this party, i think last week, and
Speaker 2: one of the details that stuck out to me was
Speaker 2: just they had to do a thing that seems like
Speaker 2: super extreme. But the president basically every single morning would
Speaker 2: have these hour long press conferences every day and they
Speaker 2: would just be like live streamed to like answer people's questions,
Speaker 2: answer the media's questions and just redefine like the mainstream
Speaker 2: media as corrupt, neoliberalism is corrupt, and just like give
Speaker 2: answers directly to the people.
Speaker 1: And I'll let you know.
Speaker 2: The media was like this is like authoritarianism, but it worked.
Speaker 1: It like allowed them.
Speaker 2: Like I said, that is the big thing that you
Speaker 2: run into in the US over and over again, is
Speaker 2: like any sort of economically populist messaging is going to
Speaker 2: get redefined as like unrealistic, childish, too extreme. And the
Speaker 2: way they did it was just like every day, first
Speaker 2: thing in the morning, they just talk directly to the
Speaker 2: people for like hours, which is seems crazy, but.
Speaker 1: Just talking to Oprah count Oprah's of people.
Speaker 2: And they these videos have like millions of views and
Speaker 2: it's like a fucking president talking about policy.
Speaker 1: They have like millions of views.
Speaker 4: Let me tell you, Jack, that shit was very very
Speaker 4: foreign and unnerving seeing that happen. It's very weird as
Speaker 4: an American to hear hits of state talk about policy
Speaker 4: and not just sling.
Speaker 1: Mud and do like weirdo shit and memes. Yeah, right right.
Speaker 1: They're definitely like not perfect.
Speaker 2: They used a lot of like populist rhetoric to take power,
Speaker 2: and the policy hasn't been as strongly environmental or feminist
Speaker 2: as a lot of people had hoped. But again, like
Speaker 2: that's it's a massive deal that they were able to
Speaker 2: do this, that they're one of the few places that
Speaker 2: succeeded in having the incumbent party re elected at her
Speaker 2: you know, the post pandemic like period of economic turmoil,
Speaker 2: and it's just getting actively ignored by the mainstream media
Speaker 2: because it's like such a.
Speaker 3: Fucking you know, yeah, you're not going to see like
Speaker 3: a New York Times op at I'm like what we
Speaker 3: can learn from Mexico exactly.
Speaker 4: It's funny because like during that election, the New York
Speaker 4: Times did have an op ed and they chose to
Speaker 4: focus on how Jewish cloudy ash Einbaum is, which is
Speaker 4: the most New York Times thing I've ever heard, like
Speaker 4: as a negative or no, just that was their pure
Speaker 4: focus is that she's a woman and that she she's Jewish,
Speaker 4: and that was the only thing they were interested in.
Speaker 5: It.
Speaker 3: And it's just like, let's not focus on the policy,
Speaker 3: let's just get so drilled down on this part of
Speaker 3: the identity that like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was all identity politics and it's very frustrating.
Speaker 1: And they didn't talk about anything else.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, huh, but I mean they like all the
Speaker 2: things we've been talking about, like that the Democratic Party
Speaker 2: or you know, a challenger party that doesn't currently exist
Speaker 2: needs to do like villainize the people like the wealthy
Speaker 2: and the people who the establishment parties and the mainstream media.
Speaker 1: Like they did all that.
Speaker 2: They like just had very clear, concise messaging that focused
Speaker 2: on like the aspects of the existing order of things
Speaker 2: that are causing people's lives to be difficult and just
Speaker 2: kept drilling that message over and over again. I don't
Speaker 2: think it's easy, but it does seem like it could
Speaker 2: be fairly simple. You know, like by definition you need
Speaker 2: to keep it simple a little bit. But anyways, it's uh,
Speaker 2: I don't know, makes me somewhat hopeful that it exists,
Speaker 2: not necessarily hopeful that it can exist in this country.
Speaker 1: But again, there is a rich history of of distrusting
Speaker 1: the government and you know, those sorts of struggles, So
Speaker 1: it's it's just sort of in built, yeah, to be
Speaker 1: more receptive to that sort of rhetoric. Yeah, totally.
Speaker 2: At the same time, they had like one party that
Speaker 2: was in power for like, you know, decades and decades.
Speaker 2: So like if it does feel like if you told
Speaker 2: people twenty years ago that this is where Mexico would be,
Speaker 2: they would probably be pretty skeptical that it could work,
Speaker 2: you know, at that time. So yeah, well I think
Speaker 2: that's also the way things are talked about in the US.
Speaker 2: The second you talk about helping people, white people go okay,
Speaker 2: well who's paying for it?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean, Like, there's no like, oh,
Speaker 3: that's that sounds like a net benefit for society. The
Speaker 3: first fucking thing people talk about is like, well, what
Speaker 3: do I get or who's paying for it? And if not,
Speaker 3: then fuck all that, which which tends to slow the
Speaker 3: momentum down. But yeah, anyway, So but Brian black Man,
Speaker 3: who grew up in La like in Mexico.
Speaker 1: Now, oh yeah, it's it is. I I when I
Speaker 1: walk around my neighborhood, I am constantly like, holy shit,
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm living in a place that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Like I'm literally just stunned.
Speaker 4: I'm like, wow, people are people are nice, and there's
Speaker 4: stuff to do and uh like yeah, It's just it
Speaker 4: blows my mind that I don't have to feel miserable
Speaker 4: most of the time just living life.
Speaker 1: Well take that, because I was really.
Speaker 4: I was really struggling in America and it you know,
Speaker 4: and I knew it was I knew I was just
Speaker 4: having America problems.
Speaker 1: That was the thing. So as soon as I as
Speaker 1: soon as I got an opportunity to uh leave, which
Speaker 1: how I was kind of funny, but I did leave,
Speaker 1: and yeah, pre smoke bombed down and just here said
Speaker 1: he said, I'm off this ship. Yeah, but yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: glad I took I'm glad I took the.
Speaker 4: Chance and uh and and got out on not onlike
Speaker 4: some weird like oh well that's it, Like, oh this
Speaker 4: guy didn't win, then I'm leaving.
Speaker 1: I was like it was just sort of slowly you
Speaker 1: became allergic to me in the US. You're like, I
Speaker 1: just can't do this anymore. He is rejecting this country.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was literally killing me.
Speaker 1: I was not doing well well the fortunate position that
Speaker 1: we're all in.
Speaker 2: But yeah, hey, underrated, under under Mexico truly is underrated. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Miles Gray, what is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 1: Overrated? Let me tell you.
Speaker 3: Look, this was the weekend of watching Holiday Ship, So
Speaker 3: you know, I fucking watched Hot Frosty baby, you know,
Speaker 3: and the thing that's a.
Speaker 2: Little overrated, just the wanting to be in a relationship
Speaker 2: with someone with the mental capacity of a child trope just.
Speaker 3: Begins to I forget who was on Twitter. Someone said
Speaker 3: it was kind of a perfect description. They said, Hot
Speaker 3: Frosty is Encino man meets elf.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which again totally fish out of water where people
Speaker 2: fall in love with one two fuck yeah, like whether
Speaker 2: they're a cave person or someone who has the innocence
Speaker 2: of a child.
Speaker 3: But like, yeah, it was hot Frosty first of all. Fine,
Speaker 3: it was funny, like they it had its like moments.
Speaker 3: So like in terms of like holiday movies, it does
Speaker 3: its thing. I think the like, if this thing is great,
Speaker 3: I think those reviews are a little overblown, but I
Speaker 3: think comparatively, when you look at like a Hallmark movie,
Speaker 3: like yeah, this shit is better than like what we
Speaker 3: see on the Hallmark channel. But there's just there's just
Speaker 3: like these times where this character like has no concept
Speaker 3: of things like even clothes, and then you're like, hold on, dude,
Speaker 3: this dude don't even know what clothes are. And we're
Speaker 3: like we're starting to look at this dude like maybe
Speaker 3: he's a partner, Like potentially maybe.
Speaker 1: I was like, maybe they'll do the thing.
Speaker 3: I was like, maybe they'll do the thing for him, right,
Speaker 3: maybe he's merely a lesson for Lacy shay Bear and
Speaker 3: then she'll be able to move on with her life
Speaker 3: from the lessons gained from her like interactions with us
Speaker 3: now yeah yeah yeah, but not the case. So it's
Speaker 3: just interesting, Like as we watched it, her Vassy and
Speaker 3: I'm both like she's.
Speaker 1: Gonna end up with the with the snow.
Speaker 3: I don't know why we thought that wouldn't be the
Speaker 3: obviously that's what's gonna happen, But during it, we're like
Speaker 3: he was like looking at like there's like a scene
Speaker 3: where he's like looking at medical records, and we're like,
Speaker 3: how the fuck this guy doesn't even know, Like he
Speaker 3: didn't even know how basic things operated. Now he's looking
Speaker 3: at medical records trying to make sense of stuff. It's
Speaker 3: there's just like these little details. When you add him up,
Speaker 3: you're like, it's kind of hard to have this. I
Speaker 3: think it's also it's hard to pull off as a
Speaker 3: script to have a character who knows nothing about anything
Speaker 3: and then has to build on because suddenly they say
Speaker 3: things that clearly are based on like experience, that don't
Speaker 3: make sense. We're like whatever, at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: that's where I have to suspend my disbelief.
Speaker 1: It was just a little bit. I think that Trope's
Speaker 1: a little bit overrated.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think in the original Frosty song, he's alive
Speaker 2: as he could be. The children say, he could laugh
Speaker 2: and play just the same as you and me. But
Speaker 2: he's also clumsy as fuck. Yeah, we see him lopping along.
Speaker 1: Right, and he doesn't have like the abs of like
Speaker 1: a spartan. You know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked about this, I think on Friday, but
Speaker 2: it is always weird.
Speaker 1: I mean, the.
Speaker 2: Fucking Emma Stone movie Poor Things is basically a satire
Speaker 2: of this, but yeah, it's like I was raised on
Speaker 2: this shit with Big and you know, man like and
Speaker 2: Big is like so wild. First of all, he like
Speaker 2: is trying to get older to like hook up with
Speaker 2: a girl, and and then he like gets older and
Speaker 2: stills the brain of a child and like starts hooking
Speaker 2: up with a middle aged woman, and like when they
Speaker 2: are about to hook up, like he is like touches
Speaker 2: her like like a childhood in a way that would
Speaker 2: be so intensely off putting, and they're like, yeah, she's
Speaker 2: into it.
Speaker 1: That's just because.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so much of those films are just like wish
Speaker 3: fulfillment for manchild writers, you know what I mean. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Like we don't write, we don't realize that like then
Speaker 3: we see it as a movie.
Speaker 1: You're like, this is telling us something about our world.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Splash is one of these movies. Mannequin on an
Speaker 2: Apollo thirteen the pea thing. I've written before about his
Speaker 2: obsession with peeing and Apollo thirteen is a great example
Speaker 2: where they just like cut to a scene in the
Speaker 2: middle that like has nothing to do with anything, where
Speaker 2: he peas, and then they eject it out of the
Speaker 2: spaceship into space and like show his pee in like
Speaker 2: little beaded droplets floating through space. Clearly the work of
Speaker 2: somebody with a weird fetish about making us all experiences.
Speaker 2: But then there's like a part later where like there's
Speaker 2: a pea bag floating around aimlessly. They just like focus
Speaker 2: on that guy's a real pee freak.
Speaker 1: It's wild.
Speaker 2: There's like a catheter joke where like one of the
Speaker 2: characters thinks he got sick because he used the catheter
Speaker 2: of the poonhound guy and like caught the clap from him.
Speaker 1: It's all the things you miss.
Speaker 2: The Little Mermaid Brian the editor just pointed out also
Speaker 2: a great example of this of the mind of a child,
Speaker 2: body of a goddess, mind of a child. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: very very strange that we've all just agreed with us,
Speaker 2: all right, my overrated big fancy aquariums, just like my
Speaker 2: assumption of like what a good aqua is, what a
Speaker 2: good I don't know. I went to a small aquarium
Speaker 2: and Sam Pedro, I took my kids camping in San
Speaker 2: Pedro this weekend and we went to this small aquarium
Speaker 2: that was in the midst of a renovation. But rather
Speaker 2: than like shutting down, they just like let us walk
Speaker 2: through the guts of like the back area where the
Speaker 2: scientists are working, Like they just like opened that up
Speaker 2: and it was wild.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: They're just like back there like with green bubbling cauldrons
Speaker 2: trying to like get the algae right.
Speaker 1: And all this shit.
Speaker 3: They were like doing legit work because the way you
Speaker 3: say that would just wear up that bunsen burner in
Speaker 3: that or like you know, yeah wild if they're like
Speaker 3: just one dude, just poor stuff back and forth and
Speaker 3: test tubes are like, hey, we're at work here at
Speaker 3: the aquarium.
Speaker 2: We watched them doing an experiment where they were taking
Speaker 2: water from one aquarium, uh with like an animal that
Speaker 2: was a predator, and pouring it into the other to
Speaker 2: see how like the animals in that would respond to
Speaker 2: the like signoles or you know, like whatever pheromone signals
Speaker 2: that the predator animals give off. And then it was
Speaker 2: next to just like a giant tide pool. I don't know,
Speaker 2: just generally, like judging a book by its cover, like
Speaker 2: if you just like push through the like something that
Speaker 2: seems messy, you might have a you might have a
Speaker 2: good time. We camped in this campground where we were
Speaker 2: under attack by thirteen raccoons the whole weekend. They were
Speaker 2: like trying to get your shit get yeah, trying to
Speaker 2: get food. Like a couple of people left food in
Speaker 2: their tents and the raccoons were unafraid. Oh yeah, that
Speaker 2: terrifying feeling of an animal that you're used to. When
Speaker 2: you show up, they scamper away, Yeah, just coming towards you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're like, what's up, what's up? What's up? And
Speaker 1: you can feel their little hands on your tent probably, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: The only way I was able to get to sleep
Speaker 2: was by convincing myself they couldn't operate zippers, which.
Speaker 1: I hope they could. Yeah, but yeah, my kids were
Speaker 1: freaked out. We pushed through it.
Speaker 2: We slept next to the raccoon nest, and you know,
Speaker 2: it turned out great. Now I feel like they're less
Speaker 2: afraid of raccoons than they would have been. I woke
Speaker 2: up those little bites all over my body, and now
Speaker 2: I'm terrified of.
Speaker 1: Water for some reason. Yeah, it was worth it. I
Speaker 1: just get that.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I get those like little white specks, and sometimes
Speaker 2: it's all a.
Speaker 1: Perfect circle of them all the way around my mouth.
Speaker 2: Anyways, shout out to doing things that are uncomfortable and
Speaker 2: look weird at first. Let's take a quick break and
Speaker 2: we'll come back and talk about some news, and we're
Speaker 2: back and yeah, So the Tyson Paul about happened. A
Speaker 2: lot of people watched it. Cryptos gammer fighting a convicted rapist,
Speaker 2: enjoy it, you pieces of shit? Seemed to be the
Speaker 2: thesis statement of the Netflix production.
Speaker 3: Oh this is giving you hope. Look in the mirror,
Speaker 3: but also tune in. He might win, he might win.
Speaker 1: There's some everybody, so many people. I had to talk
Speaker 1: so many people down from different threads, like I can't
Speaker 1: believe I'm watching this. I just need to see this happen.
Speaker 2: And I was just amazed how much people were really
Speaker 2: putting into this fight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, falling for it, I guess. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people came in hoping this
Speaker 2: would like give us some solace in the aftermath of
Speaker 2: the election, like uh, like the Onion buys info wars,
Speaker 2: like whereas Tyson beats up this like mega influencer. But
Speaker 2: I feel like what we got instead was like a
Speaker 2: surprisingly close approximation of the first debate between Biden and Trump,
Speaker 2: Like we just got the message, we got the moral
Speaker 2: of the election. Underlined three hundreds more times. We're like,
Speaker 2: we knew our guy was way too old. There had
Speaker 2: never been someone this old doing this sort of thing
Speaker 2: for a reason, And the second it started, we were
Speaker 2: immediately like, oh, oh, he's old old like he yeah,
Speaker 2: he's wearing a knee brace.
Speaker 1: That that fucking kills me.
Speaker 3: He wore a knee brace in the ring, is just yeah,
Speaker 3: that's really you don't I don't like Mike's legs.
Speaker 1: I don't like Mike's legs.
Speaker 2: That for some reason, Richeld's saying that over and over
Speaker 2: is just jammed in my brain.
Speaker 1: But yeah, this is a specific like analysis too.
Speaker 2: It's like you're not even talking about the punch, Like
Speaker 2: I don't like his legs right now? Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 2: kept checking him because I was on enough text threads
Speaker 2: with people who are watching it and I couldn't not.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Like it did give us two great media moments. Did
Speaker 2: you see the pre fight interview with his son with
Speaker 2: Mike Tyson's Sun. So Mike tyson Son is interviewing him
Speaker 2: U in his locker room before the fight, and he
Speaker 2: has like a pretty straightforward like I'm I'm gonna hurt
Speaker 2: him like it'll be glorious, saying gives a son a
Speaker 2: kiss and then slowly walks away and doesn't have his
Speaker 2: shorts on. He just has like the fight belt jockstrap
Speaker 2: thing and so you can see his whole ass. It
Speaker 2: was straight up like a comedy bit, like it couldn't
Speaker 2: have been more well timed, like to cut the there's
Speaker 2: so much.
Speaker 1: Tension before a fight like that. And then it was
Speaker 1: pretty wonderful.
Speaker 2: Yeats all the way, old ass. And then obviously there
Speaker 2: was the great interview with uh I guess the Jazzy Gara,
Speaker 2: the of Jazzy's World, a popular social media brand, where
Speaker 2: they entered you famous people and they asked Mike Tyson
Speaker 2: what does legacy? What does this mean for your legacy?
Speaker 2: And he just got he got like bleak, like the
Speaker 2: first season of True Detective. It was just like, we're
Speaker 2: all here dead.
Speaker 6: I mean absolutely nothing to me. I'm just passing through.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna die and it's gonna be over. Who cares
Speaker 6: about legacy after that? No win nothing, Well, you're dead
Speaker 6: with dust, absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1: I Like he's looking at a child who's like just
Speaker 1: the eye line.
Speaker 2: It's just so funny that he's addressing a child like
Speaker 2: we're dead with dust, and then the little girl's like
Speaker 2: mm hmmm, happening to be polite.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, thank you, thank you. Our legacy is nothing. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for sharing that.
Speaker 2: That is something that I have not heard before someone
Speaker 2: say that as an answer.
Speaker 1: Very polite, very polite. Really I'm twelve full, But thank
Speaker 1: you for that. I appreciate that. Yeah, so that was
Speaker 1: that was the best.
Speaker 2: Yeah that this and then yeah, but like Netflix really
Speaker 2: doesn't have live sports down.
Speaker 1: They really every.
Speaker 2: Time one of these and like it also happens with
Speaker 2: like Amazon Prime Football games. Like I think they've gotten
Speaker 2: it down a little bit better. But every time you
Speaker 2: see a streaming a streamer trying to a live event,
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, like all those people who like worked
Speaker 2: for cable companies all those years were like good at
Speaker 2: what they did, right, Like the Yeah, like I feel
Speaker 2: like the one deal I didn't know I was appreciating
Speaker 2: throughout my life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Netflix has a bad track record because like even
Speaker 3: when they did like tel All's for some of their
Speaker 3: reality shows, I think that's when they first started doing
Speaker 3: live ones, it was like a disaster.
Speaker 1: The Malaney Shows actually ended up.
Speaker 2: Being the least mess like in terms of like streaming infrastructure,
Speaker 2: like wasn't.
Speaker 1: Falling up everybody's in la. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that.
Speaker 3: One felt like it wasn't doing the thing where subtly
Speaker 3: it's like it stopped playing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they like leaned into the mess of it all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. All right, let's talk
Speaker 1: about some Trump appointees. Baby, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: So we got RFK Junior, which I don't know had
Speaker 2: that happened, but when we yeah.
Speaker 3: I think that that's when we pushed through right before.
Speaker 3: Let's just get through this, y'all. We know what this means.
Speaker 3: It's happened RFK at HHS.
Speaker 2: Yeah so uh noted paragon of health and just like
Speaker 2: how to be a human being. RFK Junior will be
Speaker 2: Trump's nominade ahead the Department of Health and Human Services.
Speaker 2: Obviously the brain worm will be implicitly the Deputy head
Speaker 2: of Health and Human Services, Tiles may what dough In
Speaker 2: terms of his plan to do away with vaccines, I
Speaker 2: don't know people are there's like a lot of stories
Speaker 2: about like it's gonna actually be harder than you think,
Speaker 2: because like undoing approved vaccines would require submitting evidence of
Speaker 2: harm that meets the FDA's standards to prove harm.
Speaker 1: So I don't know.
Speaker 2: First of all, like the FDA is wildly underfunded and
Speaker 2: easily captured in our in our experience having paid attention,
Speaker 2: they're just like too small to do their job. And
Speaker 2: even if they people are pointing out that even if
Speaker 2: they were like on board with his fuckery, they'd get
Speaker 2: tied up in lawsuits.
Speaker 1: But I mean, the big thing is you're you're, you're,
Speaker 1: they're screwing up for a fight against the pharmaceutical industry.
Speaker 3: So I'm curious how that that's the fight really, you know,
Speaker 3: regardless of what they do, it's a pharmaceutical industry that
Speaker 3: has the like it's in their interest to keep pumping
Speaker 3: out different medicines and things like that to be sold.
Speaker 3: So that's the fight that I'm curious, Like, well, they
Speaker 3: just bow to the administration. Are they going to fight
Speaker 3: for their lives to make the line go up or
Speaker 3: are they gonna who will they represent?
Speaker 1: Their sharehold? Bad guys gonna win hopefully the one that
Speaker 1: doesn't kill us all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like, well, at least they make medicine. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we're again we're gonna I don't know, we're gonna be
Speaker 2: rooting for you know, whoever against RFK and the FDA
Speaker 2: or yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, like does he completely I don't know. It's yeah.
Speaker 2: People are pointing out, like as with reproductive healthcare, like
Speaker 2: they could just make access to vaccines more onerous and costly,
Speaker 2: which you know, getting the CDC to scale back their
Speaker 2: efforts to promote vaccines, including Vaccines for Children, which is
Speaker 2: a program that provides free vaccines for children low income families.
Speaker 2: I could see stuff like that getting you know, falling
Speaker 2: by the wayside, which would be very significant because vaccine
Speaker 2: adoption needs to be pretty uniform, right, Yeah, and measles
Speaker 2: cases are not going down. Yeah, his plan for no
Speaker 2: longer adding fluoride to drinking water. People have pointed out
Speaker 2: that actually happens in the state and local level, so
Speaker 2: water utility companies do that. I'm sure there's some pressure
Speaker 2: he could put on that.
Speaker 3: But this is a thing that always happens that they
Speaker 3: get these freaks in who are like I'm gonna do
Speaker 3: all this shit, and.
Speaker 1: It's like you read the fine print.
Speaker 3: It's like, well, you can't actually do that, Like you
Speaker 3: can advise that, but like with something specific like the
Speaker 3: fluoridation and water, that's like you're saying that's not you
Speaker 3: don't have control over that. I'm sure you can get
Speaker 3: the Red States to go along with you, but aside
Speaker 3: from that, that's not something you can do across the board.
Speaker 3: And all these people who enter office, like even in
Speaker 3: the first administration, like, oh, we're doing away with that,
Speaker 3: and they're like, wait, how do.
Speaker 1: I I can't huh, but.
Speaker 3: I'm guessing that's why there's the Project twenty twenty five
Speaker 3: version of what they want to do with the FDA,
Speaker 3: which is more specific and probably has more of like
Speaker 3: a tactical.
Speaker 1: Policy sort of strategy.
Speaker 3: And then you get these like rhetorical monsters who come
Speaker 3: in and they're like we're getting rid of oxygen fuck
Speaker 3: out of here. Yeah, and you're like, Okay, maybe I
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 2: The one place that he does seem to make good
Speaker 2: points is his stance against ultra processed foods, like that
Speaker 2: that is in alignment with science that like the government
Speaker 2: is way too permissive when it comes to ultra processed
Speaker 2: food and like there there is a connection between nutrition
Speaker 2: and a lot of the chronic diseases that affect Americans
Speaker 2: on a daily basis. He also completely and immediately abandoned
Speaker 2: his uh you know, processed food stance on like a
Speaker 2: photo op level, because coming in he was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is like, you know what he eats I
Speaker 2: would mostly qualify as poison and inedible. And because that
Speaker 2: was making the rounds, there was a shot of him
Speaker 2: eating McDonald's with Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: He's this is.
Speaker 3: This is totally a mob boss move that Trump did
Speaker 3: on our FK. Yeah, he's like, oh yeah, I mean poison,
Speaker 3: Sit the fuck down and eat some. He's like, it's
Speaker 3: like having to do just like, oh I don't do drugs.
Speaker 3: It's like, no, you gonna do this cocaine right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, you want to want to down right.
Speaker 3: Like And because you can see his face in it,
Speaker 3: he's like, uh shit, here I am with does everybody
Speaker 3: have it?
Speaker 1: Looks like everyone's order is chicken nuggets and a sandwich.
Speaker 2: I guess I just want to point out Elon Musk's
Speaker 2: eating habits in this picture where they're all on the
Speaker 2: plane eating McDonald's.
Speaker 1: Look at his how he eats French fries.
Speaker 2: Okay, he's got the fry carton out, but he just
Speaker 2: dumps a bunch of ketchup on the top, Like so
Speaker 2: he has to touch a bunch of ketchup fries rather
Speaker 2: than putting your ketchup on a thing, and then you
Speaker 2: dip your fries in the ketchup?
Speaker 1: Am I fucking am? I am I missing something here?
Speaker 1: His fries. Yeah, he's like treating it like it's pasta
Speaker 1: marinera Like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just dumping it onto anyway, what a mess? Again,
Speaker 2: Like if there are more reasons to be upset about
Speaker 2: this man's existence, I found I found even more pedantic.
Speaker 1: I think that's number one. I think that's my number one. Now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot going on, but like look at
Speaker 3: the ways dude eats fries.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Also, like I don't know that this is as convincing.
Speaker 2: A you know, video photo op of like McDonald's eating
Speaker 2: as the rocks cheat days. You know, like, m really,
Speaker 2: I'm totally eating all of this. Why's that bucket next
Speaker 2: to you?
Speaker 1: Shut the fuck up and shut the fuck up, Shut
Speaker 1: the fuck up. Yeah, Trump's eating his day.
Speaker 3: He's he has his order though he that man eats
Speaker 3: filet of fishes, and that is I know that blue
Speaker 3: box from a mile away.
Speaker 2: But it's a it's a good point that it does
Speaker 2: seem like the place that we can probably assume this
Speaker 2: administration is not going to stick by their campaign promises,
Speaker 2: is anything that is going to hurt massive corporations. His
Speaker 2: massive corporations are just gonna, you know, go ahead and
Speaker 2: kiss their ass and do whatever it takes to.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, big pharma.
Speaker 2: They they gave more money to Republicans than Democrats this cycle.
Speaker 1: They probably knew.
Speaker 2: So we also there are a couple more Apollo yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: over the weekend. So okay, remember we were talking about
Speaker 2: that guy Brendan Carr who was on the FCC is
Speaker 2: like a commissioner at the FCC during when.
Speaker 1: Kamalo was on sn OS like this is all illegal
Speaker 1: and it's like it isn't.
Speaker 3: Well, yes, surprise, he's tapped to be the head of
Speaker 3: the FCC. That's what I thought he was, because that's
Speaker 3: how the mainstream media like covered it. They were like, uh,
Speaker 3: he's the what was he a commissioner commissioner, which I
Speaker 3: assumed was like David Stern is the commissioner of the NBA.
Speaker 1: This guy is the commissioner of the FCC.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, he would be the chairman, because right
Speaker 3: now the chairwoman is Jessica Rose and Morsel and so
Speaker 3: just you know, just so you know a little background
Speaker 3: of this guy. He penned a chapter in Project twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five about how to tackle content moderation and stuff online.
Speaker 1: So prepare for that.
Speaker 3: And I think you can also expect him to go
Speaker 3: after things like net neutrality like uh agit pie did in.
Speaker 1: Trump's first administration.
Speaker 3: So those are the kinds of things you can expect
Speaker 3: from him. The other thing, Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of
Speaker 3: Defense nominee who everyone's like, this guy is so unqualified. Also,
Speaker 3: he's like an extremist and has been like identified as
Speaker 3: like a potential like it threat to like the military
Speaker 3: because of his extremist views and tattoos.
Speaker 1: A lot of people have been talking about.
Speaker 3: His like crusader tats that he has with like the
Speaker 3: motto that says like it's like Latin, that says God
Speaker 3: wills it that is used by every kind of unsavory, extremist,
Speaker 3: violent fuck you can think of.
Speaker 1: So people are like, uh, a lot of mass shooters
Speaker 1: use this term. We heard this certain term at Charlottesville too.
Speaker 3: And he's just like No, it's like it's like a
Speaker 3: it's like a thing. I just I just like, it's
Speaker 3: just like a Christian thing.
Speaker 2: And also we found out he's settled a lawsuit when
Speaker 2: he was accused of sexual assault back in twenty seventeen. Again,
Speaker 2: in a normal world, these are all disqualifying things. But
Speaker 2: right now we have the guy who hates science running
Speaker 2: the FDA at AHHS and you know, you know, just
Speaker 2: just go down the list. Everything is the antithesis of
Speaker 2: what it should be. Yeah, that's what we thought it
Speaker 2: was going to be, right, Yeah, yeah, I told us
Speaker 2: it was going to be.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: But it's like I think there's even reporting where they're like,
Speaker 3: you know, Trump knew about all this stuff too, was like,
Speaker 3: I don't care to. He's like, yeah, they I'm a
Speaker 3: convicted felon and adjudicated rapist as well, So that's not
Speaker 3: it's not disqualifying in this administration.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2: And checking in with Joe Biden on his way out,
Speaker 2: he went viral. Over the weekend, he became the first
Speaker 2: sitting US president to visit the Amazon rainforest, where he
Speaker 2: stressed the importance of combating climate change, saying today I'm
Speaker 2: proud to be here first sitting US president visits Amazon rainforest.
Speaker 5: Recmmitch, protecting the rainforest like this one, folks, we don't
Speaker 5: have to between the environment and the ecounmy, oh really
Speaker 5: so yeah, it's just like he's for protecting the environment
Speaker 5: as long as it's profitable.
Speaker 3: Right, right, is as profitable, then it's fine if it
Speaker 3: But if look, come on, look and you know where I'm.
Speaker 1: Going with this. I liked I liked it.
Speaker 2: I liked the environment, but I had money, and money's better.
Speaker 2: Money's better. He then turned away from the podium, which
Speaker 2: was in front of the rainforest and appeared to just
Speaker 2: like wander into the rainforest and like there's a path
Speaker 2: going back behind him, and then he like looks like
Speaker 2: he wanders off the path.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Our writer Jamput said he looked like Bigfoot returning to
Speaker 2: the woods at the end of Harry and the Henderson's.
Speaker 1: Timely reference.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but people were saying that a lot of other
Speaker 2: people left in that same direction after the thing, that
Speaker 2: there was a path to the right that was I mean,
Speaker 2: although I love the version where he earnestly was just.
Speaker 1: Like fuck ith, he's lost. I'm going back into nature
Speaker 1: where I belong It did make.
Speaker 2: Me wonder would an animal, if given the chance, eat
Speaker 2: Joe Biden. Like, you know, I think the amount of
Speaker 2: ben gay that is emanating from his body is probably
Speaker 2: a deterrent of some kind. Yeah, and like I think
Speaker 2: he's probably meant delated, Yes exactly, you know so much
Speaker 2: like so medicinal. I feel like he probably smells like
Speaker 2: an embalmed corpse, like mixed with bengay. Yeah, and yeah,
Speaker 2: I feel I feel like he would just walk straight
Speaker 2: through the rainforest, untouched by even mosquitoes.
Speaker 1: Just come out.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the mosquitos will probably die eating.
Speaker 1: Hey, come on, Jack, and like the mosquitoes all just
Speaker 1: die immediate around him. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Well, hey that's cool, Joe, just do it. Just do
Speaker 3: a quick Brazil trip, man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like you've probably got no discernible blood
Speaker 2: type at this point, right, Oh no, Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's probably like a sound rather than like a A
Speaker 1: or B.
Speaker 2: Like his blood type is the sound of an inhale. Yeah,
Speaker 2: exhale being played backwards.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. All right, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. And we're back. We're back, We're.
Speaker 2: It's the big weekend Gladiator two and Wicked coming out
Speaker 2: together or the same.
Speaker 1: At the same time. I didn't realize that. Why do
Speaker 1: you think everyone's calling this weekend Cardiator? What?
Speaker 2: No, I guess it glicked?
Speaker 1: Glicked.
Speaker 2: That looks like it looks Yeah, the way they're spelling
Speaker 2: it looks like glicked. And because it is just a
Speaker 2: creation of the media, that's how.
Speaker 1: Most people are encountering it.
Speaker 2: But yeah, they're trying to recapture the magic of Barbenheimer
Speaker 2: with glicked, which, yeah, it just sounds like clicked, reminds
Speaker 2: people of Martin Short. I personally am writing for Wick Cardiator,
Speaker 2: Wick Cardiator. I think like that's the fun part of
Speaker 2: the word gladiator is the adiator gadiator and.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, either one not as good as Barbenheimer.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, or Boppenheimer trying to make yeah, stop trying
Speaker 2: to God. The whole of Barbenheimer was that it was
Speaker 2: just a big, stupid, fun to say, made up word,
Speaker 2: and they've taken that away and done glicked, Yeah, which yeah,
Speaker 2: sounds like Jimmy Glick reference or like spitting from under
Speaker 2: your tongue or something like that. Yeah, I do that
Speaker 2: a lot of At least they have the sixties right
Speaker 2: now on Metacritic. By the way, Metacritic the so you're
Speaker 2: pointing out like hot Frosty soft Frosty was a hot Frosty, right,
Speaker 2: hard Frosty.
Speaker 1: I guess would be what it's so fucking weird.
Speaker 2: Like we were talking about how all of the reviews
Speaker 2: are fresh on the Tomato Tamatometer. Yeah, but when you
Speaker 2: go on Metacritic, it's actually like in the fifties. So
Speaker 2: I think the really strong review score or is probably
Speaker 2: due to the shortcomings of the Tomato meetings. It's hard
Speaker 2: to Yeah, it's hard to reconcile all of those things,
Speaker 2: especially with a genre like the Christmas movie too. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Gladiator two is in the sixties, which is right where
Speaker 2: I want Gladiator too. I want it to be like
Speaker 2: dumb enough that it offends like most film critics. But like, right,
Speaker 2: some of the film critics are like, this was so fun,
Speaker 2: you know, just like can't get over it.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are yeah, it's either you hear
Speaker 1: people like this shit is.
Speaker 3: Dumb as hell and not even historically accurate, and other
Speaker 3: people are like, dude, it's so crazy.
Speaker 1: Just go see it because like you don't even know
Speaker 1: what's going on, but you've never seen a bunch of
Speaker 1: shit like this before. Yeah, I don't know. Are you
Speaker 1: gonna see it? Do you have any urge to see
Speaker 1: it in the theater? In the theater, you're going to
Speaker 1: see theater?
Speaker 2: Well, wife also interested in seeing this one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, see, I already got my movie pick this last
Speaker 3: week with Red One.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard. It's her majesty to go see
Speaker 1: Gladiator too? Is one good? Like where I don't think
Speaker 1: we ever got your full take on Red One?
Speaker 3: Red One is fine, you know, yeah, yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, like a red wine, fine red like no.
Speaker 1: Not as fine as a red wine, a boxed wine.
Speaker 3: Okay, yes, yes, yes, yes, I mean it is what
Speaker 3: it is like, it's you know what you're getting into.
Speaker 3: So it's not like it's gonna subvert those expectations in
Speaker 3: any way. You're like, oh, yeah, it's exactly what the
Speaker 3: trailer is. And you get quippy stuff from the rock
Speaker 3: and then you get Captain America as kind of like
Speaker 3: a scumbaggie kind of dude.
Speaker 1: And that's and it's it's fine. He does it's pretty good.
Speaker 2: Scumbag actually, yeah, him as a scumbag and knives out. Yeah, yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's got, he's got he definitely has scumbag range for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I don't know.
Speaker 2: We know no Wicked Metacritic reviews as of yet, so
Speaker 2: we we don't know. I'm really curious about how that
Speaker 2: one is because, like, I feel like it could go
Speaker 2: either way.
Speaker 1: But they all are. They got all the chips pushed
Speaker 1: in on this motherfucker like.
Speaker 2: They've got We've got target ad campaigns coming out like
Speaker 2: months before the movie came out there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be interesting.
Speaker 2: Is this for Wicked or for gladiat yes, said Wicked,
Speaker 2: like they have no reviews.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I hope it's good.
Speaker 7: I hope the fans enjoyed a lot of people who
Speaker 7: are waiting very enthusiastically for this. Yeah, Gladiator, I feel

Speaker 2: not exist in the movie anymore, Like she's been erased
Speaker 2: from the movie.
Speaker 3: And a lot of people are like, what is going
Speaker 3: on here? Is it because she's a vocal supporter of
Speaker 3: Palestinian rights or is it the studio version or people
Speaker 3: who are trying to take a more I don't know,
Speaker 3: optimistic view is like it just got cut for time.
Speaker 3: We completely erased the existence of this woman of color
Speaker 3: in the movie, who we sort of said was going
