Speaker 1 (00:00):
Shut up, Elmo stitch at me in stitches? Who runs
the Thunderbolts? Does Tom Cruise not want to be around anymore?
The dragons are real and there's lots of them, commercials,
halftimes and other stuff. Oh my, all that and more
coming up on this very special episode of News.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Jump, so so special. But before we get to those
amazing headlines, Mac, did you see this? In Connecticut, a
lawmaker has introduced a bill that would require movie theaters
to disclose what time the movie trailers start and what
time the actual movies start.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, this is almost becoming a necessity these days, because
you know, pro theater goers will naturally show up ten
to fifteen minutes after the start time on your ticket
or online, Yeah, to purposely avoid all these trailers that
we've seen. Anyways, pro sporting events put the actual tip
off and you know start times of like seven oh
seven or whatever, and people still show up beforehand. So like,
(01:02):
the same crowd is gonna show up earlier, Like if
you tell me the movies at seven thirty, but it's
actually at seven forty five, there's still a lot of
people that are gonna show up a seven thirty because
they want to be in there early, like the movies
aren't gonna lose money for telling us the real time.
Some people like to go and see the trailers beforehand,
but please please start telling us the real times.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I guess do they lose money advertising wise because they
have advertisements ahead of I.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Mean, that's what it is, yeah, But I mean the
people that want to go and experience at fifteen twenty minutes,
maybe finish their food in that fifteen twenty minutes, are
still gonna do it, you know what I mean? Like,
I don't think there's really changes much, but it's more honest,
and for those of us that are trying to, you know,
get there right when the movie starts, will actually be
able to.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Time is valuable. And I understand that some people like
to go to the theaters a bit early because they
like to get themselves situated. You can still do that.
You can still go there twenty five minutes early, get
your popcorn, get your diet doctor PIB, get your seat
and watch ten minutes of trailers. But especially may I
(02:04):
talk to you. May speak to you as a father, sure,
as someone that needs to get my kid in the
theater as close to the start time as possible or
we lose him. I need this.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, I totally agree. I think it's a good thing.
I think it's a thing that should happen. Goo, you
bring up a PIB during this whole this whole thing
here is that the furthest disparity between the regular name
brand and like the off brand Dr Pepper and a PIB, Like,
is there any is there? I guess they haven't really
come up with a good Mountain Dew alternative either, But
those are the two, right.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Like, are you saying that that's the best one for one?
They both taste the same type of thing. Is that
what you're asking? No?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
No, no, opposite, I'm saying, like the name brand is
so strong that they haven't come up with a good knockoff,
you know, Like no, like everyone that drinks Dow doesn't
drink like the store brand do as a knockoff. Same
thing with doctor Pepper, Like those are the two sodas
that seems no one can get close to the original
formula formula, I guess.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
But PIB does taste like Pepper, not like doctor Pepper. Well,
I say, one does have a doctorate, one is a
bit smarter than the other. But I have no issue
with mister PIB. While it's you know, just a regular civilian.
I don't mind the taste of PIB.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
No, there's nothing that really remotely replicates the twenty three
flavors of doctor Pepper.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Well, you know what I like to do is when
I'm getting my mister PIB, because they have those great
soda machines at the movie theater, I'll go like eighty
percent diet, mister PIB, and then put a little bit
of cherry in there. That's twenty two flavors or twenty
four flavors. I don't know how many flavors are in this.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I would venture to say that cherry might also be
one of the twenty three five is one of the
flavors because rry doctor Pepper.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
It's in the logo.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Or Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I used to love. I used to love the vanilla cokes.
Those were used to love vanilla cokes. I just told you, Uh,
I don't.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Mind a vanilla coke. I I am a big fan
of doctor Pepper. I like a cherry Doctor Pepper. I
like a cherry coke more than like a vanilla coke.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, I would say, right now, my go tos are
diet crushed and diet Doctor Pepper. I assume diet soda
terrible for you, but I don't want that sugar. I
want the fake sugar. I want the sugar that's gonna
kill me.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I drink soda so and frequently that I go for
the real stuff when I do.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
And then growing up, my go tos were vanilla coke
and Code Red.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Oh, code Red always good. I also liked the uh,
what's the name of the orange mountain dew? That's very
good as well.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I've never had orange mountain dew. Yeah, I've never really
been a big mountain dew person. Outside of Code Red.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I try every flavor of the dew when they come out.
The blue ones quite good as well.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I'm not prejudiced versus any kind of do.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I'm an equal opportunity doer.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Did you have a second question for me or a
third question or no? Good?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Just the one news depe Almo can suck farts. He
was on X yesterday before the Big Game.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Saying Alma was with the guy that voices Elmo.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I think Almo who had his birthday last week he
was three and a half. Again, he said on so media,
my biggest wish for this game is that both sides
have fun. That's not how sports work, Elmo get off
social media.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, you know, I have a hard time. You know,
I got a nieces, nephew's younger cousins. Yes, we want
them to have fun and develop a love for the
sport before it gets overly competitive. But at the same time,
in order to get really good at something you sort
of have to like want to win.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
You got to develop an edge.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
So there's a fine line there. I don't know what
the age is. I'm sure it depends child to child,
but they should teach him about winning and losing, because
it's important to be a good loser as well. You know,
it's not a tie and everything. You can have fun
while winning and losing, I suppose, But I think it's
more important that people learn how to lose well than
it is to have fun. Oh.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I don't think I mentioned this on the podcast yet,
but back when my son, my four year old son,
he was doing Little Kickers, doing soccer, and the final
day of Little Kickers is the kids versus the parents,
and you know, the parents just kind of like, you know,
kicking the ball around a little bit. Back and forth,
and we were like ten minutes into the game, and
(06:13):
I said to myself, no one has scored yet. So
what I did is I just turned around and just
fucking wrecked one top shelf. And I thought this might
have Yeah, I thought this might inspire my son to
you know, maybe he wants to score too. And you
know what he did.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
He just ran around with his arms out for the
rest to practice playing airplane.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, like Rafi is so Rafi's what four? Yeah, you know,
he's not quite at the age where he needs an edge,
but maybe not too long after six seven is when
they're starting to learn more skills and learning how you
win games. I don't know. It just feels like, at
least now in my adult life, Gou and I think
a little bit when we were growing up, you know,
playing competitive sports, when you lose, you learn what you
(06:56):
need to do better. When you win and everyone's having fun,
you don't really change much, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
News dip weekend Box Office dog Man took home for
the second straight week the number one spot, but it
did drop sixty two percent to thirteen point seven million.
It has made fifty four domestically so far. Hard Eyes
had its opening weekend, only made eight and a half.
That was roughly around where they wanted. Love Hurts bombed,
(07:23):
very disappointing. I'm not going to make any points off
this for the movie draft. I will tell you right now.
We are one weekend and I have lost.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, it looks like you might be taking a big
fat zero from Love Her. It's just getting crushed by critics.
It does have a sixty three percent from the audience, so.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I would say Metacritic, like Metacritic loved it.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Hard Eyes is doing all right with the with the
the viewers, both critics and audience, So maybe that sustains
a little bit of a run here because it's not
gonna it's a different audience than what's coming out these
next couple of weeks. Goo Companion, that was number two
last week, dropped a fifth. Only made three million this
week to drop sixty seven percent drop, but still getting
really well reviewed. So I know Hard Eyes and Companion
(08:06):
aren't going to make much over the next these next
few weeks, but I still think people are gonna go
see him because they're different than your traditional you know,
popcorn movie.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Captain America is coming out this next weekend. So that
should reign supreme at least the next couple of weeks.
You know what I did over the weekend. I did
not go to the movie theaters. I brought my son
to Chuck E Cheese.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Oh we're f I was.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Actually gonna ask you, no, Everett, I was gonna ask
you actually, because you are a child of divorce.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Sure they were actually never even married.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Did you spend You bring that up a lot. I
keep forgetting that. You tell me that did you go
to Chuck E Cheese a lot as a kid?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
No, I wouldn't say a lot. In fact, I'd probably
wanted to go more than I did. I would go,
but I wouldn't say any more or less than like
the average kid. Maybe I should have been going more.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, because that's that's a divorced dad special. I'm not
a divorce dad, by the way, but that is what
it is.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
It was definitely driven by my father going to Chuck
E Cheese, that's for sure, which I get too, because like,
if you're the power outside of the home, like you
want to like take them somewhere fun, and so that's
that's typically what it is.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I only went twice as a kid. I had that's
pretty much never gone to Chuck E Cheese. I was
always because you would always see on Nickelodeon that if
you've got a good report card, you'd get free tokens.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I gotta admit, and I haven't had Chuck E Cheese
and probably holds my little brother so he's twenty three,
probably Goin's been a good thirteen fourteen years since I've
had Chuck E Cheese. M The pizza last time was unremarkable,
but I remember as a kid really loving their pizza.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Hear this, and I'll tell you right now, if Chuck
E Cheese wants to jump on as a sponsor, I'm
all in for that. I went in expecting to pay
twenty five dollars for forty plays. That's roughly what it usually,
but I saw that when you went in there they
have a membership now that if you pay eight dollars
a month, Yeah, you can go every day and you
get forty plays.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
That's only ninety six dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
You are locked into the year. You can't opt out.
I'm locked in one hundred bucks on this next year.
I don't care because all I have to do go
six times, and I'm pretty much making my money back.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
And not for nothing. Since you didn't go much as
a child. You're invested in this. You want to go
and enjoy Chuck E Cheese.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Right, And if my son wants to go and just
play the same game forty times, I don't care. Well
play something new next time.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
As she asked what the name stands for? Have you
explained it?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
No? But I tell him every single time and he
seems very uninterested.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Now the Evert location, which I don't think I've ever
been to, is there a nice like climbing jungle, gym,
ballpit type area.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
There is a little trampoline area. I do need to pay,
so it's usually twenty four. I think I get it
for twelve because I'm a member. I'm a bronze member.
I didn't want to pay it to be the gold,
that's insane. I do get twenty percent off food as
long as I make it all in one order.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Oh, she can't do two orders? Right?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
So like last time, I got my son pizza and
then he said I also want lemonade, and I'm like,
I have to pay full price on this lemonade. Now
that's how Chuck E Cheese gets you.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I feel like part of the magic of Chuck E
Cheese in all of these places, you know, going back
to our area.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
You know, way back in the day we have Discoveries.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
It's in Space to Waltham and then DZ Discovery Zone
in Cambridge in Fresh Pond there. Part of the magic
was the climbing apparatus and like the danger that you
could kind of get yourself into.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
So there are a lot of trampoline parks around now,
indoor trampoline parks, but they need to bring back more
indoor playgrounds.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Agreed, totally agreed. Nothing was cooler than having your birthday
kids in Space way back in the day over on
Waverley Oaks Road there and the birthday parties would start
on the second floor, so you would enter the jungle
gym from the second floor and all these plubs below
you couldn't get up there. You know, you were You're
king of the castle. Fantastic.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I believe that the birthday parties that I went to
the most were at the Wallax.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Yeah, so it was a lot of wallet for me.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
By the way, for people outside of Massachusetts, the Wallllex
is Waltham roller skating, roller blading, going around in a Circle.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, it was on the Waltham Lexington line. Hence the
name roller skating video games.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Really, that's what they called it.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
That you left out the lex there.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I didn't realize that it is that. I just though
it was called the Walls and that's a fucking cool name.
I didn't realize because it's a Waltham Lexington Lexington line.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Wow. So we had Walllecks on the Waltham Lexington Line.
We had kids in Space Waverley Oaks Road in Waltham.
We had DZ Discovery Zone in Cambridge, and then we
also had a good time in Medford Malden area right
right where Assembly Row is now. And those were like
the four major things, and I loved all four of
(12:27):
them to certain degrees.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I don't think my parents ever threw me a party
at any of those places. I think I just always
did family parties.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah, but you also like you had a big yard
at least where you're My birthday.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Is in February, I'm not having an outdoor party.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
That's a good point. That's a good point.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Do you think my parents didn't love me?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
That might be it.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Fuck, that was mock you for for your split parents
that were never even together.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Smoke.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I guess we'll move on. That was the box office MAC.
We got so many trailers at the Super Bowl. Not really,
they were more teasers and then go and check out
the trailer online.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
He kind of fucked us up this year because they
gave us four or five during the week reading up
to it, and then gave us teasers during the game.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Unprofessional bullshit. But I will say that, yes, Jalen Hurts
was the MVP of the game. We're not going to
talk about the game, but he was the MVP of
the game. I would argue that this other little bastard
should have been the MVP of the game. And that
is stitch. That little guy was running around the field.
They couldn't catch him in a trash bag. He got
on a little cart and then crashed into the into
(13:31):
the field goal post, and then he went on stage.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
That's not a bad stitch.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Thank you, thank you. Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
This got my juices flowing. It was one of the
first commercials of the game, one of the first commercials
of the night, and it inspired us both to start
a document for the exact same time, the exact same time,
and you said, which I think is was the point
of this commercial. Your four year old went fucking nuts
for this little blue bass.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
My four year old for the next half an hour
was running around the house, crashing into shit, doing a
Stitch voice and saying, can we please rewind this to me?
Keep on saying no, we need to keep on moving forward.
Later on we'll watch it over and over again, which
we have. This morning. We watched it on a loop
seven times, seven or eight times. But yes, this and
(14:18):
I once again not to bring up the movie Draft
too much. I blew it. I knew this was the
movie I wanted. Yeah, and I didn't stick to my guns,
my James guns, and then I took his stupid Superman movie.
This was the one, and this is gonna do so well. Stitch, Stitch,
I know it's Stitch now. Stitch is so fun.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
And I think I got it for like twelve twelve,
maybe ten twelve fourteen, Like I got it for less
than I should have. It's gonna make all the money.
And there's a really good chance it's fucking dynamite.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
All right, we're on the podcast right now. We're open.
Everyone can hear us. What if I trade you love
Hurts Bridget Jones's diary. What else equals twelve naked gun?
Is it naked gun? Naked gun? I had seven leftover
hot dogs? What if I trade you those leftover hot dogs?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
That's what really you're gonna be upset about at the
end of the year. If you in said of getting
love hurts for two, get something cool for nine?
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Well wait, so you paid twelve hot dogs for Lelo
and Stitch.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I'm telling I'll look it up right now.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
And I paid twelve hot dogs, five of them for
Naked Gun and then seven leftover hot dogs. That equals twelve.
I could have had Lilo and Stitch for twelve.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Twelve I paid for Lulu and Stitch.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Confirmed I did really bad this year. I was on
the up and up and I blew it.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You paid eight for a Minecraft movie.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I don't mind that.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Okay, eight for Balerie.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
My main goal every year is to not finish in
last place. I have done a disservice to the fans
into my you're on the up and up.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
You had a Dynamite twenty twenty four. You know you're
the rising prospect amongst the group.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I suck, I suck Stitch is gonna be great news.
Dupe got a teaser on the television and then a
trailer on YouTube for Thunderbolt's asterisks, and we saw a
little shadow of Century.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, so hear me out on this skue. Here's and
you can disagree, but here's how I think things are
gonna play out. We got a little bit of all
the characters and how they're all gonna come together. We
see Valentina in the courtroom Bucky looking annoyed, upset sort
of thing. So clearly at the outset of this movie,
it's Bucky v. Valentina in somehow shape or form. It
appears that Valentina has either created or is in charge
(16:32):
of Bob or aka Century here, who's super powerful superman
like I believe Taskmaster is going to be working for
her at the beginning of this movie as well. In
my mind, it looks like Bucky is recruiting Jolena Red, Guardian,
John Walker and Ghost to fight against Valentina in Century
or something like that, which is interesting, an interesting dynamic
(16:54):
because obviously Yolena Red, Guardian John Walker have already fought
for Valentina, so there's gonna be a decent little strife here.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah, and I'm kind of annoyed by this trailer because
I think it's tipping its hand too much, because all
the other trailers made it seem like Valenzuela was in
charge of the Thunderbolts.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
It did appear like that, like she was gonna make
them do something that they didn't want to do. And
now it seems, well, that could still be the case. Right,
if you don't do this, there will be consequences, So
maybe that's how it goes. Marvel does a really good
job of just giving us clips from the first like
twenty minutes of movies these days, so we truly don't
really know what's happening yet. That's just my theory. I
think that's kind of a prevailing theory of how this
(17:33):
is gonna go. But it was cool. We saw a
little bit of Century. We saw people just getting zapped
into dust. I think that was Century just floating around
zapping people. So this will be really intriguing because he's
so powerful that at the end of this movie or
a post credit I have a feeling we're gonna get
like a really notable character or a notable character will
(17:53):
become involved in the in the battle. Here.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I will say too, is that I was not expecting
a ton of Bucky in this movie. I thought that
he'd be like fifth sixth on the list of characters shown,
but it now looks like he's gonna be in a
ton of this movie. It might even be his movie.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
You say that, And it's interesting because, you know, the
Falcon and the Winter Soldier in our minds kind of
crashed and burned at the end of that. But clearly
that show was to prop up both of them, and
now they're two movies, first two movies this year are
starring those two characters, the Falcon aka Captain America and
now Bucky aka the Winter Soldier, So they're really sticking
(18:28):
with that. You know, the shows matter, you know, even
even though some of us want to make them not
matter as much, but clearly they're still they're still driving
the driving force behind this whole MCU.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
News demp gots more of a teaser only like Tom
Cruise talking about it, but we've gotten tons of news
sense about Mission Impossible eight, the Last Reckoning, and from
all of these interviews, all of these clips of him
holding on to a helicopter and passing out, or him
under sea in a breeding app paratus that he only
(19:01):
has a certain amount of time and he's taking a
lot of co two back in, is Tom Cruise tying
trying to die?
Speaker 3 (19:07):
I ask you, we are at a point where you
have to weigh age versus stunt and see if it's
really worth it for I know Tom Cruise likes to
do all his own stunts, but when you're what, he's.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Sixty something now sixty is yeah, I don't think he
really needs to be doing. And the last movie prior
to this one, which was Gonna Be, which was Dead Reckoning,
he broke his ankle during filming, which halted filming for
like fucking four months or something like that. So I
would be okay. And I guess part of the magic
and why these movies are so great is these up
close shots of the stunts. You could tell it is
(19:41):
Tom Cruise, which you don't get in a lot of
these movies. I'd be okay if there weren't that many
up close shots, as long as Tom Cruise was able
to survive.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah, Like I'm thinking to myself, he is saying like
this is my last Reckoning, and like I really mean
that I might not be there for the screening, And
I'm okay like that would do you think he says
to himself that that would be a really cool way
to go out.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, maybe, And I also think part of it you know,
anything you've ever done ever in your life that's remotely
harmful for you, most recently eating a day's piece of
hot chicken. There you have to sign these waivers and
they warn you about the worst possible outcomes. So I
can also see Tom Cruse learning about the worst possible
outcomes and being like, yeah, this could have happened, this
(20:25):
was about to happen, but really he was in no
danger at all.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
You think that everyone's lying to him, so he's doing
all these interviews, but in fact he's wearing like a
nerve suit or something. News death. We also got a
one minute teaser for How to Train Your Dragon, the
live action adaptation of the animated trilogy that came out
(20:50):
just a decade ago. This looks pretty good.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Lots of dragons, lots of different dragonsts of dragon like.
I like dragon diversity. Here's a podcast. We have drawn
a line on this and for dragon diversity, and I'm
glad we're starting to see it on film.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Dragon diversity in Mountain dew diversity. That's how mac lives
his life.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
There's a diversity thing in there somewhere we can we
can figure out.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
News Domp. But a teaser thirty seconds for F one,
the Brad Pitt Racing movie coming out in July, and
looks nice, looks great. The last one that came out
over the summer looked. You know, they give us a
lot more. But I'm looking forward to this.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
If you do win the movie draft, it's because you
go F one, Yeah for one, and it's gonna get
you one hundred and twenty points, and it very well might.
It's gonna make one hundred and fifty million dollars and
it's probably gonna kick ass. You see it looks sexy too.
Brad Pitt had its shirt off. He's got to two's.
I mean this, This movie's gonna be great.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
He's not gonna get any Christmas gifts, but he might
win me the drafts Dompe. Another trailer teaser for Novacane.
This is the Jack Quay. He can't feel pain, but
he might die movie.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Yeah. I don't know how much interest I got in this.
I don't know if it's a theater movie for me.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
News Depe, but a teaser for m threegan two point zero.
She was dancing and they didn't give us any kind
of a plot or nothing. But no, people seem to
like dancing.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Yeah, just dancing to Chapel Roon's feminenomenon. And uh, I
guess they know how to market because that's that's playing
it up. Well. It's a very popular artist and coming
off of very popular first movie. So have you seen
the first movie yet?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
No? I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I haven't either either. Maybe I'll get to it. Maybe
I'll get to it this year.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Speaking of marketing and advertising moves dump of course, during
the Big Game, we have so many spectacles and people
watching for different reasons. One of those reasons is the
commercials MAC. We have a bunch of them right here.
Did anything really stand out this year?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Honestly, No, I got. I got a pretty good laugh
from the Seal Seal. I enjoyed Seal, the recording artists
being a seal, even though that's quite obvious. The Dunkings thing,
I don't. I don't remember how much they showed us
live during the game, but there's a seven minute video
for the Dunkings.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Did you watch it like I did?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
It's pretty decent.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
No, not if anything. I walked away wondering why I
would waste my time more.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
It's like it was like acherman, That's pretty much what
I felt like.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Because when I saw the thirty seconds or minute during
the game, I'm like, I'm not even really sure what
the point of this is. I don't know what, Like,
who's like? What is I'm confused right now, so fucking confused.
Are they trying to win something? Was there a competition?
What was the competition?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
They're pop stars, you know, after achieving fame and now
they're going to this comic con to sign stuff, you know,
but Matt and Tom weren't there, you know those It's
like and it would be like the two worst members
have in sync shown up to comic Con. Who I
would say, Oh, don't put me in a corner here.
So you got JC and Justin for sure top two,
and then you have Joey Lance and Chris Chris for
(24:09):
sure is in the bottom. People like I might put
Lance fourth. I think Lance is fourth. I'd put Joey third.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
This would be like if you went to see your
favorite band and only Apple and Taboo showed up.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Everyone knows how big of a Fergie and Black Eyed
Peas fan I am. Did you know I learned this
Goop go Ahead that the band existed before her. They
brought her in, she left doing her solo stuff. They
still exist as Black Eyed Peas without Fergie.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
And what's crazy is that she did her solo stuff
and Will I Am still produced all the songs, so
it's like they're still doing Black Eyed Peas.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeah, they're still friends. I don't think there was ill
will when she left. She's also given us the greatest
rendition of the national anthem of all time as well.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Back to this dunk King's I still I don't know
what the point of the commercial was. Also, did you
hear when they introduced Bill and Jorge on as the Belichicks?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Was that hurt? I couldn't tell if it was a standard. Well,
I don't really know what she looks it. I like,
I know she's a brunette girl, but I couldn't tell that.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I saw the end credits and it said Jordaan whatever
her last name is.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yeah, spell your name right. First of all, I'm also
a little disappointing you. You're not wearing your Dunkings jacket
this morning.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
I don't have a Dunkings jacket.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
You ordered a Dunkings.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I was about to last year, but they ran out,
and I'm actually pretty happy that they did. That would
have been sixty dollars down the drain.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
That's sixty less dollars for Chuck E Cheese right there.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Last year's dunk King's commercial was hilarious and great. This
one stunk.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
You hate sequels, That's that's where we're getting. I did
enjoy the Eugene Levy eyebrows.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Okay, but let's get to that right now. Okay, I
love that one. I was cackling. I thought it was
hilarious when the caterpillars were not worthy of the eyebrows.
But then, roughly an hour later, a different product, so
that was for was it Pizza Hut Dominant, don't remember,
it was from one of those pizza companies. They had
Little Caesars, Little Caesars.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Ah, it was its.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Roughly an hour later there was a commercial for Pringles
where mustaches were flying off faces. What is happening right now?
Were these two companies duped by the same ad agency
pitching the same thing?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Possibly? Yeah, this is a this is an Armageddon versus whatever?
The one that was worse than Army.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
It was twin commercials Bugs Life, Ants, Volcano. The other
one it takes to the Parent Trap. Those are more
movies about actual twins.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
But still, there you go, There you go. I missed
the Pringles one. I must have been pissing or getting
a drink or something. So I was not as affected
by this as you were.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
It threw me off of the entire rest of the game.
You know, don't don't look at all the bad bets
that I made that I lost, every single one of
it was this mustache commercial where I was. I was perplexed.
I was so confused by this. I couldn't believe, Like
I could imagine Pringles sitting there watching the Eugene Levy
one going, isn't this what our commercial is? And then
(27:10):
when their shows up, they're like they everyone thinks that
we copied them.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Some of the issues with these massive commercials for the
quote unquote big game these days is it's all you know,
pomp and circumstance, and you don't remember the product that they.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
No because now it's all like you don't know what
any of these things are. It's just what celebrity pops up,
where there are no what's ups.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
The biggest thing for me. And in this commercial ranck
four times the cowboy skin hat. I have no idea
what that was for. I was just mad. I was
just mad at it.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Oh. And also, if you're gonna show the monkey puppy
baby at the beginning of a commercial, you better show
it for more than just three seconds. If you're gonna
tease that little guy, he needs to star in the commercial.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Harrison Ford had a jeep Commerci that was directed by
James Mangold. What's the point of wasting all this money
to get James Mangold to direct your commercial?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Well, you're talking about it, yeah, but you are a
jeep guy. You love jeeps.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Well, I am a jeep guy. What's the point of
getting Harrison Ford also for your chip? I don't know.
Just show the fucking jeep doing jeep shit and people
are gonna keep buying jeeps.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
How about you had Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal going
out there and doing there. When Harry met Sally famous
scene and she put so much mayonnaise on her sandwich,
I could not believe it. And I'm not anti mayonnaise.
I know a lot of people can't stand the look
the smell the texture. I'm not anti na I like.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
A little bit of mayonnaise. Yeah, things too much. I'm disgusted.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Her sandwich was mayonnaise and turkey. It wasn't turkey with mayonnaise.
She globbed it on there. I wouldn't be surprised if
she pulled them. What my dad does. We find cold
cuts in the mayonnaise constantly, because what he'll do is
he'll sit there with his fucking bucket of mayonnaise, roll
up a piece of ham, dip it in there, and
(29:03):
just eat. And he's just he's like winning the Pooh
with honey, just fucking clomping down on mayonnaise.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
That's an unbelievable quote. We find cold cuts in the mayo.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I could see my dad sitting there and watching this
commercial being like, yep, this makes sense.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
It's a little different though. You know what I like
to do with peanut butter?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
The rich in the peanut butter? Yeah, before you have
a chance.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
To peanut butter and mayonnaise different things.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Because sometimes I'll leave some scrap rich in the peanut
butter that I'm just gonna get next time with another rich.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
What else happened? During commercials, there was that cold foam
tongue guy.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yeah, I missed that one too. I didn't. I didn't
catch that one.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
The guy puts cold foam on his drink and he
sits it and he just goes back and goes a.
I looked at my wife and said, don't you get
any ideas, babe.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Eh oh.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Also in that mayonnaise commercial, sid the kid's swing dog
pops up and she's like, Oh, that's what she's.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
I'll tell you that fucking I'm gonna go buy it
right now. I think that that body wastch she's hawking
these days.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Oh what's that called. She's uh, Sidney Sweeney, the body
wash genie. Oh, the sasquatch genie, right, something like that.
Which that is brilliant marketing because it rides.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yes, If Sidney Sweeney told me to eat a mayo
and turkey sandwich in the shower, I would do it.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
I'm just picturing you guys right now, like lady in
the tramp with a mayonnaise sandwich and you guys meeting
in the middle. It's covered in.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Mayo, covered in mayo and body wash.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Then we also had there was a Glen Powell Goldilocks one,
Glen Pile's good, did you see Chasmo? No?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
What's Jasmo?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Chasmo? Was the Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson one?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Oh, I did catch this.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Did you watch the thirty second one so there was
a different one. Did you see just the thirty seconds
that was during the game or did you watch the
full one minute clip on YouTube?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
No? I didn't see that, so I'm gonna have to
watch that, a.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Full one minute clip on YouTube, way more graphic, and
it's funny. Yeah, Chasmo's eye pops out of his head
and then they kick it and they're like, oh, the
jet propulsion from it crushed his head and his eye
shot out of his head. And then Sam Richard's like,
you're still going to school tomorrow. That's a good line.
That's it for commercials. They weren't great. I'm more mad
(31:24):
that I wasted my time on the dunk Kings, and
I'm I need answers to what happened with the facial
hair flying off people's faces. Speaking of not great, Oh,
let's go news.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Do I would hear yeah, I would love to hear
your thoughts on the Kendrick Lamar halftime show feature in sis.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
I thought it was good and I'm happy people enjoyed it.
How do you like that? For an answer, I feel like.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
The prevailing thought of the internet was a lot of
people didn't like it. And as a guy, I don't
really like Kendrick Lamar. I would say, there's a song
or two an album and I enjoy I'm I'm not
a Kendrick guy. I don't really like him. I don't
really like that he seems to prey upon certain themes
to get his you know, his Grammys from the old Whites.
(32:08):
But outside of that, I actually thought the show was okay.
I love Sizza. I didn't think it was bad like
some people are saying. I didn't think it was necessarily
boring either. I just thought it was okay. It was fine.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Did you like Serena Williams.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
That was the most jarring thing of the whole thing,
Serena Williams crip walking over in the corner of the stadium.
I didn't. I didn't quite get it.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Prior to it, it was teased like, I have an
amazing special guest. See what happens. I'm guessing she was
the special guest.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Yeah, they're both from the same area. Both grew up
in Compton, and she dated Drake, Yeah, which I don't remember.
I don't recall that that might not be I.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Guess Sizza also did too. That's what I'm being told me,
given all these little things here. Also, his stage was
a PlayStation controller, and Drake's albums are made by Sony.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Oh look at you, look at you breaking things down.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I saw this on social media.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I don't think not Like Us as a very good song.
I do like Yelling and Mustard, however.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
So that's TV OFF. That's a different song.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah, I know, but I'm just talking about Kendrick in general.
I actually don't like TV OFF, but I like Yelling Mustard.
I don't think not like Us. I don't think it's
a very good song. But that said, I was a
huge Drake guy, like twelve years ago. I don't think
Drake's very good anymore. So I don't really have a
dog in the fight. I'm just over this whole Kendrick
and Drake thing. I'm over it, so I'm not interested
in that.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
I loved Samuel L. Jackson yelling at Us and yelling
at Kendrick. That was fun. That's good stuff. And then
I also loved how he brought out DJ Mustard, and
I assume that DJ Mustard said to him, like, Hey,
what should I do on the stage? I don't know.
Hold the football and walk around, dude. That's all he did.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Last musical performance of the game or prior to the
game was googa and.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
That was good.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Yeah, that was the best performance of the night.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
My prediction for next year post Malone, I don't want that,
but I'm gonna say, you want to know why?
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Why?
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Because he's a He's a chameleon to all genres and
by having him do it, By having him do it,
you can appeal to nobody.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
People were upset, and I do think rightfully so that
knowledge is the home of Lil Wayne. You could have
done a little Wayne halftime. Lil Wayne's definitely over the
hill these days, but I could see the argument for that.
Do we know who the super Bowl isn't next year?
I don't know, man, I'm gonna look it up right now.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Because oh and I mentioned in our chat too, I
think that someone that would be great because you want
someone young enough so that they're still relevant with the
with the current. Because you're doing this for a female audience,
you also want kids that stick around for the game.
Someone that's relevant right now has an amazing back catalog,
and I would assume next year will be posturing for
(34:37):
maybe another Oscar. You get Ariana Grande.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Grande would be great. She definitely would be good. Twenty
twenty six Super Bowl is taking place at Levi's stadium
in San Francisco, or just outside of San Francisco, So
maybe they go for a Northwest fibe there. Maybe they
do a little grunge, not quite, but maybe they look
for that. But it is also California still, so.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
You just have everyone go out there in jeans show
off their Levi Jean, which Kendrick gummost tripped over his genes.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
That was the most confusing thing of the evening is
how long it was jeans were I thought he was
gonna take a tumble.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
News dope some other stuff not having to do with
the Super Bowl. Kristin Miliotti, now she won the Critics
Choice Award right for.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Yeah, yeah, she won something.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Yeah. She said that it is her wildest dream and
hope that she will return as Sophia Falcne in her
own spinoff or in any of the Batman films.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
I would like her to be featured in other things. Yeah,
I don't need her own.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Spinoff once again, say if she's on trial or you know,
she pops up somewhere, or even if she's just doing
you know, like when her father would pop up in movies.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
She's really ingratiated herself well to this comic book community,
and I am a big fan of hers. I'll tell
you what.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
Colin Farrell also won Right Critics Choice. I think so yah, Now,
is this for limited series once again? It must be
so if they get picked up for a season two
once again, they have to give back those awards.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Throw it back, throw it out the windows.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Unprofessional catshit news dope Nicholas Holtz, while speaking with CBR,
gave a lot of Lex Luthor nuggets. Said that he
would like to play Lex Luthor for a long time.
There is so much I want to do with the character.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
I mean, as we know from Superman lore and the
show Smallville, you can sort of do this intertwined Clark
and Lex story throughout a number of movies. Shows like
it doesn't need to be one and done. He can
kind of lurk in the background for a while. So
I'm if he's if his Luthor is as good as
it is possibly gonna be for this movie, I'd be
happy to keep him around lingering for a while and
(36:39):
and not the same way, but similar to the way
that Loki was a villain when we first met him
in Avengers and then he turns into a hero by
the end. I think we can keep Lex around like that.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
He also said that he loves how James Gunn writes
the character.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
I am looking forward to that. I think we're all
looking forward to gun Spin on this DCU.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
It was Dingo said that he is open to playing
Norman Osborne in the MCU. He currently voices the iconic
villain in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider Man.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Yeah, dude, this show is good. The voice acting's good.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
I wasn't expecting much going into it, but I have
really enjoyed it so far. Right.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
So, he was on the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast, and
he also was talking about internet rumors of him possibly
taking over as Kang in the MCU, and when he
figured out that someone had already been doing the character,
He's like, I don't want someone else's character, I want
my own.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Yeah makes sense.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
News demp Nora is now the favorite to win Best
Picture at the Oscars. It has won Best Picture at
the PGA, DGA and Critics Choice Awards over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Yeah, this is nice, and I've been talking about it
for a few months.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Do you think you spreading the word is what's gotten
at all these wins?
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Well, I wish I had bet this and not wicked.
I talked about how how much the waters were for
Best Picture. You know, in December there was no real
clear front runner, and over the first month of the
year it appeared to be the Brutalist was starting to
take a hold of this thing. Now there was a
little controversy with AI with the Brutalist, which bumped it
down a little bit. And now it seems because I
(38:16):
do think it is the best movie of the year,
which I think obviously helps things, Anora has taken the
lead for betting favorite anyways, for Austin.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Yeah, I saw it on DK earlier. Yeah, it's now
at minus two hundred. It was at plus five hundred,
like as early as last week or late as last week,
is a plus five hundred and.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
This is this bodes well. The other things haven't moved yet,
like original screenplay, and Mikey Madison for Best Actress. But
as this pulls in and we still have three weeks
before the Oscars, you might start to see that trickle
effect of all the Aora stuff moving up and up.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
I'm kind of pissed of myself because I think I
sent you all these articles. It was like, whatever the
fuck the magazines are, but they were all picking the
Bob Dylan movie as the Bob Dylan movie will win
Best Picture this year, and I'm like, it's that plus
fourteen hundred. I'll slap some money on this. But I
told you, I know I'm stupid. I love gambling and
(39:14):
I'm really bad at it.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
And also I don't so you might know this better
than I. When is the cutoff for Oscars voting?
Speaker 2 (39:21):
I think it just started or it's just starting now.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Okay. So there's also a chance that a lot of
people are just watching these movies these last few weeks too,
which are affecting some of these odds.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
And finally, I just saw before hopping on here that
the Monkey Bio pic is going to be on Paramount
Digital tomorrow. Mac. If you are looking to buy a
steal book, you can do that. In May question Mark, What.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
God, what how is that? Why would anyone buy the
steel book of a wildly unsuccessful movie six months after
it came out when it would be digital four months?
Part of that, I don't understand anything behind this.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
There's a chance that you're gonna love this movie. I
bet I may like it a lot, but I certainly
not gonna pay money to see it.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Because the Brits were so mad online that the Americans
didn't care about Robbie Williams when ninety of us are like,
who the fuck is Robbie Williams And why the fuck
is he a monkey?
Speaker 2 (40:15):
I saw a clip earlier where I'm pretty sure the
monkey was on cocaine and he was in a battle
with a bunch of other monkeys, oh, a monkey fighter, Like,
I don't know what's happening in this movie.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Yeah, I'll watch it when it's free.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
As soon as it's free, I'm gonna watch it. Same
as of right now, dog Man is the number one
movie on the year for me, though right now.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
It's that Will Ferrell Reese Witherspoon Hulu movie for me.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Credit to me for missing the Paddington screening over the
weekend because I just plumb forgot.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (40:44):
I had a winter ball to get to.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Yeah, it looked very dark where you were.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
It was very dark, but it was a very good time.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
What was the spread?
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Like?
Speaker 1 (40:52):
There would you have for food?
Speaker 2 (40:54):
So we had Dumpling daughter that is the social so
my wife does social media for Dumpling Daughter, so I
was able to get some dumpling. On the other side,
it was sliders, cheeseburgers, Nashville Chicken. They also had ice
cream stands.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Were they in the King's Hawaiian Bunch?
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Yes, I believe. So you know who I saw there
walking right by me? It was David Andrews. Uh, you
know what I said? What I said, Hey David, I
like your podcast. He paused for a second. He's like
as if no one's ever said that to.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Him, Yeah, which I don't think it one has.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
He's like, oh, thanks man, Then he has left.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
I saw David Andrews circa twenty fifteen or twenty sixteen
at a house party. It's not as big as you
would think he was.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
He's taller than I thought, but he's not like big
as you think.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Yeah, he's not super wide. You know who's one of
the biggest humans I've ever seen on this planet on
planet Earth. Dam Fleming one of the largest humans beings
I've ever seen. Former Pat's great.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
I'll also say this mac is while at this Winter Ball,
and you know me, you you would consider me to
be like an above average sized man, right, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah, a five to ten and a half. That's
a it's a pretty good size, pretty good.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
You're you're taller than the average man and you're in shape.
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
Eighty percent of the people there, the men were taller
than me. I was looking up at everybody. I felt
so insecure. I felt like I was a I could
fit in a thimble. I felt terrible, like.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
Someone was just gonna pick you up and put them
in your pocket. Ah, I was like, what in their pocket?
Speaker 2 (42:26):
Like I could see how like when we were there,
no one should have respected me because of how short
I was, this piece of shit, you know, small, this
little guy is. I hated it.
Speaker 1 (42:39):
I think you gotta start wearing a nice boot, a
nice fucking two inches boot to these things.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
You know what I had to do because I had
my I had my lubatons on is because it was
snowing outside. Is we got an uber home, and because
we had to walk in the snow, I had to
take my shoes off and walk barefoot in the snow.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
Yeah, because even though they make no show socks, they
show in those types of shoes because it's.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
I couldn't even wear no show socks because of how cut.
So I had nothing on and I was like, this
is how mister Deed's got that black foot?
Speaker 1 (43:07):
Do those hurt your heel?
Speaker 2 (43:09):
Not if you're used to them a little chafing or
my heels are already chafed. I don't know why my
heels are super chafed. Do you want to look at them?
Speaker 1 (43:17):
Oh, you got a real gritty heel.
Speaker 2 (43:18):
I got a real gritty heel. I also like, you
have nice calluses on my on my hands, I look
like a real man. If you look at my hands.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
You had those couple of years as an electrician. It really,
that's what it is, really made you a.
Speaker 2 (43:30):
Man, right. And then if you if you dig a
little bit deeper, you're like, I don't know about this guy.
If you put me around six foot three, gentlemen, you're like,
this guy fuck stinks. I guess that's news dump, huh.
I guess news doom
Shut up, Elmo stitch at me in stitches? Who runs
the Thunderbolts? Does Tom Cruise not want to be around anymore?
The dragons are real and there's lots of them, commercials,
halftimes and other stuff. Oh my, all that and more
coming up on this very special episode of News.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Jump, so so special. But before we get to those
amazing headlines, Mac, did you see this? In Connecticut, a
lawmaker has introduced a bill that would require movie theaters
to disclose what time the movie trailers start and what
time the actual movies start.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, this is almost becoming a necessity these days, because
you know, pro theater goers will naturally show up ten
to fifteen minutes after the start time on your ticket
or online, Yeah, to purposely avoid all these trailers that
we've seen. Anyways, pro sporting events put the actual tip
off and you know start times of like seven oh
seven or whatever, and people still show up beforehand. So like,
(01:02):
the same crowd is gonna show up earlier, Like if
you tell me the movies at seven thirty, but it's
actually at seven forty five, there's still a lot of
people that are gonna show up a seven thirty because
they want to be in there early, like the movies
aren't gonna lose money for telling us the real time.
Some people like to go and see the trailers beforehand,
but please please start telling us the real times.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I guess do they lose money advertising wise because they
have advertisements ahead of I.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Mean, that's what it is, yeah, But I mean the
people that want to go and experience at fifteen twenty minutes,
maybe finish their food in that fifteen twenty minutes, are
still gonna do it, you know what I mean? Like,
I don't think there's really changes much, but it's more honest,
and for those of us that are trying to, you know,
get there right when the movie starts, will actually be
able to.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Time is valuable. And I understand that some people like
to go to the theaters a bit early because they
like to get themselves situated. You can still do that.
You can still go there twenty five minutes early, get
your popcorn, get your diet doctor PIB, get your seat
and watch ten minutes of trailers. But especially may I
(02:04):
talk to you. May speak to you as a father, sure,
as someone that needs to get my kid in the
theater as close to the start time as possible or
we lose him. I need this.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, I totally agree. I think it's a good thing.
I think it's a thing that should happen. Goo, you
bring up a PIB during this whole this whole thing
here is that the furthest disparity between the regular name
brand and like the off brand Dr Pepper and a PIB, Like,
is there any is there? I guess they haven't really
come up with a good Mountain Dew alternative either, But
those are the two, right.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Like, are you saying that that's the best one for one?
They both taste the same type of thing. Is that
what you're asking? No?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
No, no, opposite, I'm saying, like the name brand is
so strong that they haven't come up with a good knockoff,
you know, Like no, like everyone that drinks Dow doesn't
drink like the store brand do as a knockoff. Same
thing with doctor Pepper, Like those are the two sodas
that seems no one can get close to the original
formula formula, I guess.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
But PIB does taste like Pepper, not like doctor Pepper. Well,
I say, one does have a doctorate, one is a
bit smarter than the other. But I have no issue
with mister PIB. While it's you know, just a regular civilian.
I don't mind the taste of PIB.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
No, there's nothing that really remotely replicates the twenty three
flavors of doctor Pepper.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Well, you know what I like to do is when
I'm getting my mister PIB, because they have those great
soda machines at the movie theater, I'll go like eighty
percent diet, mister PIB, and then put a little bit
of cherry in there. That's twenty two flavors or twenty
four flavors. I don't know how many flavors are in this.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I would venture to say that cherry might also be
one of the twenty three five is one of the
flavors because rry doctor Pepper.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
It's in the logo.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Or Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I used to love. I used to love the vanilla cokes.
Those were used to love vanilla cokes. I just told you, Uh,
I don't.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Mind a vanilla coke. I I am a big fan
of doctor Pepper. I like a cherry Doctor Pepper. I
like a cherry coke more than like a vanilla coke.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, I would say, right now, my go tos are
diet crushed and diet Doctor Pepper. I assume diet soda
terrible for you, but I don't want that sugar. I
want the fake sugar. I want the sugar that's gonna
kill me.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I drink soda so and frequently that I go for
the real stuff when I do.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
And then growing up, my go tos were vanilla coke
and Code Red.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Oh, code Red always good. I also liked the uh,
what's the name of the orange mountain dew? That's very
good as well.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I've never had orange mountain dew. Yeah, I've never really
been a big mountain dew person. Outside of Code Red.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I try every flavor of the dew when they come out.
The blue ones quite good as well.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I'm not prejudiced versus any kind of do.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I'm an equal opportunity doer.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Did you have a second question for me or a
third question or no? Good?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Just the one news depe Almo can suck farts. He
was on X yesterday before the Big Game.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Saying Alma was with the guy that voices Elmo.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I think Almo who had his birthday last week he
was three and a half. Again, he said on so media,
my biggest wish for this game is that both sides
have fun. That's not how sports work, Elmo get off
social media.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, you know, I have a hard time. You know,
I got a nieces, nephew's younger cousins. Yes, we want
them to have fun and develop a love for the
sport before it gets overly competitive. But at the same time,
in order to get really good at something you sort
of have to like want to win.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
You got to develop an edge.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
So there's a fine line there. I don't know what
the age is. I'm sure it depends child to child,
but they should teach him about winning and losing, because
it's important to be a good loser as well. You know,
it's not a tie and everything. You can have fun
while winning and losing, I suppose, But I think it's
more important that people learn how to lose well than
it is to have fun. Oh.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I don't think I mentioned this on the podcast yet,
but back when my son, my four year old son,
he was doing Little Kickers, doing soccer, and the final
day of Little Kickers is the kids versus the parents,
and you know, the parents just kind of like, you know,
kicking the ball around a little bit. Back and forth,
and we were like ten minutes into the game, and
(06:13):
I said to myself, no one has scored yet. So
what I did is I just turned around and just
fucking wrecked one top shelf. And I thought this might
have Yeah, I thought this might inspire my son to
you know, maybe he wants to score too. And you
know what he did.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
He just ran around with his arms out for the
rest to practice playing airplane.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, like Rafi is so Rafi's what four? Yeah, you know,
he's not quite at the age where he needs an edge,
but maybe not too long after six seven is when
they're starting to learn more skills and learning how you
win games. I don't know. It just feels like, at
least now in my adult life, Gou and I think
a little bit when we were growing up, you know,
playing competitive sports, when you lose, you learn what you
(06:56):
need to do better. When you win and everyone's having fun,
you don't really change much, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
News dip weekend Box Office dog Man took home for
the second straight week the number one spot, but it
did drop sixty two percent to thirteen point seven million.
It has made fifty four domestically so far. Hard Eyes
had its opening weekend, only made eight and a half.
That was roughly around where they wanted. Love Hurts bombed,
(07:23):
very disappointing. I'm not going to make any points off
this for the movie draft. I will tell you right now.
We are one weekend and I have lost.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, it looks like you might be taking a big
fat zero from Love Her. It's just getting crushed by critics.
It does have a sixty three percent from the audience, so.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I would say Metacritic, like Metacritic loved it.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Hard Eyes is doing all right with the with the
the viewers, both critics and audience, So maybe that sustains
a little bit of a run here because it's not
gonna it's a different audience than what's coming out these
next couple of weeks. Goo Companion, that was number two
last week, dropped a fifth. Only made three million this
week to drop sixty seven percent drop, but still getting
really well reviewed. So I know Hard Eyes and Companion
(08:06):
aren't going to make much over the next these next
few weeks, but I still think people are gonna go
see him because they're different than your traditional you know,
popcorn movie.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Captain America is coming out this next weekend. So that
should reign supreme at least the next couple of weeks.
You know what I did over the weekend. I did
not go to the movie theaters. I brought my son
to Chuck E Cheese.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Oh we're f I was.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Actually gonna ask you, no, Everett, I was gonna ask
you actually, because you are a child of divorce.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Sure they were actually never even married.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Did you spend You bring that up a lot. I
keep forgetting that. You tell me that did you go
to Chuck E Cheese a lot as a kid?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
No, I wouldn't say a lot. In fact, I'd probably
wanted to go more than I did. I would go,
but I wouldn't say any more or less than like
the average kid. Maybe I should have been going more.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, because that's that's a divorced dad special. I'm not
a divorce dad, by the way, but that is what
it is.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
It was definitely driven by my father going to Chuck
E Cheese, that's for sure, which I get too, because like,
if you're the power outside of the home, like you
want to like take them somewhere fun, and so that's
that's typically what it is.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I only went twice as a kid. I had that's
pretty much never gone to Chuck E Cheese. I was
always because you would always see on Nickelodeon that if
you've got a good report card, you'd get free tokens.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I gotta admit, and I haven't had Chuck E Cheese
and probably holds my little brother so he's twenty three,
probably Goin's been a good thirteen fourteen years since I've
had Chuck E Cheese. M The pizza last time was unremarkable,
but I remember as a kid really loving their pizza.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Hear this, and I'll tell you right now, if Chuck
E Cheese wants to jump on as a sponsor, I'm
all in for that. I went in expecting to pay
twenty five dollars for forty plays. That's roughly what it usually,
but I saw that when you went in there they
have a membership now that if you pay eight dollars
a month, Yeah, you can go every day and you
get forty plays.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
That's only ninety six dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
You are locked into the year. You can't opt out.
I'm locked in one hundred bucks on this next year.
I don't care because all I have to do go
six times, and I'm pretty much making my money back.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
And not for nothing. Since you didn't go much as
a child. You're invested in this. You want to go
and enjoy Chuck E Cheese.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Right, And if my son wants to go and just
play the same game forty times, I don't care. Well
play something new next time.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
As she asked what the name stands for? Have you
explained it?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
No? But I tell him every single time and he
seems very uninterested.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Now the Evert location, which I don't think I've ever
been to, is there a nice like climbing jungle, gym,
ballpit type area.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
There is a little trampoline area. I do need to pay,
so it's usually twenty four. I think I get it
for twelve because I'm a member. I'm a bronze member.
I didn't want to pay it to be the gold,
that's insane. I do get twenty percent off food as
long as I make it all in one order.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Oh, she can't do two orders? Right?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
So like last time, I got my son pizza and
then he said I also want lemonade, and I'm like,
I have to pay full price on this lemonade. Now
that's how Chuck E Cheese gets you.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I feel like part of the magic of Chuck E
Cheese in all of these places, you know, going back
to our area.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
You know, way back in the day we have Discoveries.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
It's in Space to Waltham and then DZ Discovery Zone
in Cambridge in Fresh Pond there. Part of the magic
was the climbing apparatus and like the danger that you
could kind of get yourself into.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
So there are a lot of trampoline parks around now,
indoor trampoline parks, but they need to bring back more
indoor playgrounds.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Agreed, totally agreed. Nothing was cooler than having your birthday
kids in Space way back in the day over on
Waverley Oaks Road there and the birthday parties would start
on the second floor, so you would enter the jungle
gym from the second floor and all these plubs below
you couldn't get up there. You know, you were You're
king of the castle. Fantastic.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I believe that the birthday parties that I went to
the most were at the Wallax.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Yeah, so it was a lot of wallet for me.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
By the way, for people outside of Massachusetts, the Wallllex
is Waltham roller skating, roller blading, going around in a Circle.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, it was on the Waltham Lexington line. Hence the
name roller skating video games.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Really, that's what they called it.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
That you left out the lex there.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I didn't realize that it is that. I just though
it was called the Walls and that's a fucking cool name.
I didn't realize because it's a Waltham Lexington Lexington line.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Wow. So we had Walllecks on the Waltham Lexington Line.
We had kids in Space Waverley Oaks Road in Waltham.
We had DZ Discovery Zone in Cambridge, and then we
also had a good time in Medford Malden area right
right where Assembly Row is now. And those were like
the four major things, and I loved all four of
(12:27):
them to certain degrees.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I don't think my parents ever threw me a party
at any of those places. I think I just always
did family parties.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah, but you also like you had a big yard
at least where you're My birthday.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Is in February, I'm not having an outdoor party.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
That's a good point. That's a good point.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Do you think my parents didn't love me?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
That might be it.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Fuck, that was mock you for for your split parents
that were never even together.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Smoke.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I guess we'll move on. That was the box office MAC.
We got so many trailers at the Super Bowl. Not really,
they were more teasers and then go and check out
the trailer online.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
He kind of fucked us up this year because they
gave us four or five during the week reading up
to it, and then gave us teasers during the game.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Unprofessional bullshit. But I will say that, yes, Jalen Hurts
was the MVP of the game. We're not going to
talk about the game, but he was the MVP of
the game. I would argue that this other little bastard
should have been the MVP of the game. And that
is stitch. That little guy was running around the field.
They couldn't catch him in a trash bag. He got
on a little cart and then crashed into the into
(13:31):
the field goal post, and then he went on stage.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
That's not a bad stitch.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Thank you, thank you. Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
This got my juices flowing. It was one of the
first commercials of the game, one of the first commercials
of the night, and it inspired us both to start
a document for the exact same time, the exact same time,
and you said, which I think is was the point
of this commercial. Your four year old went fucking nuts
for this little blue bass.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
My four year old for the next half an hour
was running around the house, crashing into shit, doing a
Stitch voice and saying, can we please rewind this to me?
Keep on saying no, we need to keep on moving forward.
Later on we'll watch it over and over again, which
we have. This morning. We watched it on a loop
seven times, seven or eight times. But yes, this and
(14:18):
I once again not to bring up the movie Draft
too much. I blew it. I knew this was the
movie I wanted. Yeah, and I didn't stick to my guns,
my James guns, and then I took his stupid Superman movie.
This was the one, and this is gonna do so well. Stitch, Stitch,
I know it's Stitch now. Stitch is so fun.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
And I think I got it for like twelve twelve,
maybe ten twelve fourteen, Like I got it for less
than I should have. It's gonna make all the money.
And there's a really good chance it's fucking dynamite.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
All right, we're on the podcast right now. We're open.
Everyone can hear us. What if I trade you love
Hurts Bridget Jones's diary. What else equals twelve naked gun?
Is it naked gun? Naked gun? I had seven leftover
hot dogs? What if I trade you those leftover hot dogs?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
That's what really you're gonna be upset about at the
end of the year. If you in said of getting
love hurts for two, get something cool for nine?
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Well wait, so you paid twelve hot dogs for Lelo
and Stitch.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I'm telling I'll look it up right now.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
And I paid twelve hot dogs, five of them for
Naked Gun and then seven leftover hot dogs. That equals twelve.
I could have had Lilo and Stitch for twelve.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Twelve I paid for Lulu and Stitch.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Confirmed I did really bad this year. I was on
the up and up and I blew it.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You paid eight for a Minecraft movie.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I don't mind that.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Okay, eight for Balerie.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
My main goal every year is to not finish in
last place. I have done a disservice to the fans
into my you're on the up and up.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
You had a Dynamite twenty twenty four. You know you're
the rising prospect amongst the group.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I suck, I suck Stitch is gonna be great news.
Dupe got a teaser on the television and then a
trailer on YouTube for Thunderbolt's asterisks, and we saw a
little shadow of Century.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, so hear me out on this skue. Here's and
you can disagree, but here's how I think things are
gonna play out. We got a little bit of all
the characters and how they're all gonna come together. We
see Valentina in the courtroom Bucky looking annoyed, upset sort
of thing. So clearly at the outset of this movie,
it's Bucky v. Valentina in somehow shape or form. It
appears that Valentina has either created or is in charge
(16:32):
of Bob or aka Century here, who's super powerful superman
like I believe Taskmaster is going to be working for
her at the beginning of this movie as well. In
my mind, it looks like Bucky is recruiting Jolena Red, Guardian,
John Walker and Ghost to fight against Valentina in Century
or something like that, which is interesting, an interesting dynamic
(16:54):
because obviously Yolena Red, Guardian John Walker have already fought
for Valentina, so there's gonna be a decent little strife here.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah, and I'm kind of annoyed by this trailer because
I think it's tipping its hand too much, because all
the other trailers made it seem like Valenzuela was in
charge of the Thunderbolts.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
It did appear like that, like she was gonna make
them do something that they didn't want to do. And
now it seems, well, that could still be the case. Right,
if you don't do this, there will be consequences, So
maybe that's how it goes. Marvel does a really good
job of just giving us clips from the first like
twenty minutes of movies these days, so we truly don't
really know what's happening yet. That's just my theory. I
think that's kind of a prevailing theory of how this
(17:33):
is gonna go. But it was cool. We saw a
little bit of Century. We saw people just getting zapped
into dust. I think that was Century just floating around
zapping people. So this will be really intriguing because he's
so powerful that at the end of this movie or
a post credit I have a feeling we're gonna get
like a really notable character or a notable character will
(17:53):
become involved in the in the battle. Here.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I will say too, is that I was not expecting
a ton of Bucky in this movie. I thought that
he'd be like fifth sixth on the list of characters shown,
but it now looks like he's gonna be in a
ton of this movie. It might even be his movie.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
You say that, And it's interesting because, you know, the
Falcon and the Winter Soldier in our minds kind of
crashed and burned at the end of that. But clearly
that show was to prop up both of them, and
now they're two movies, first two movies this year are
starring those two characters, the Falcon aka Captain America and
now Bucky aka the Winter Soldier, So they're really sticking
(18:28):
with that. You know, the shows matter, you know, even
even though some of us want to make them not
matter as much, but clearly they're still they're still driving
the driving force behind this whole MCU.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
News demp gots more of a teaser only like Tom
Cruise talking about it, but we've gotten tons of news
sense about Mission Impossible eight, the Last Reckoning, and from
all of these interviews, all of these clips of him
holding on to a helicopter and passing out, or him
under sea in a breeding app paratus that he only
(19:01):
has a certain amount of time and he's taking a
lot of co two back in, is Tom Cruise tying
trying to die?
Speaker 3 (19:07):
I ask you, we are at a point where you
have to weigh age versus stunt and see if it's
really worth it for I know Tom Cruise likes to
do all his own stunts, but when you're what, he's.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Sixty something now sixty is yeah, I don't think he
really needs to be doing. And the last movie prior
to this one, which was Gonna Be, which was Dead Reckoning,
he broke his ankle during filming, which halted filming for
like fucking four months or something like that. So I
would be okay. And I guess part of the magic
and why these movies are so great is these up
close shots of the stunts. You could tell it is
(19:41):
Tom Cruise, which you don't get in a lot of
these movies. I'd be okay if there weren't that many
up close shots, as long as Tom Cruise was able
to survive.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah, Like I'm thinking to myself, he is saying like
this is my last Reckoning, and like I really mean
that I might not be there for the screening, And
I'm okay like that would do you think he says
to himself that that would be a really cool way
to go out.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, maybe, And I also think part of it you know,
anything you've ever done ever in your life that's remotely
harmful for you, most recently eating a day's piece of
hot chicken. There you have to sign these waivers and
they warn you about the worst possible outcomes. So I
can also see Tom Cruse learning about the worst possible
outcomes and being like, yeah, this could have happened, this
(20:25):
was about to happen, but really he was in no
danger at all.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
You think that everyone's lying to him, so he's doing
all these interviews, but in fact he's wearing like a
nerve suit or something. News death. We also got a
one minute teaser for How to Train Your Dragon, the
live action adaptation of the animated trilogy that came out
(20:50):
just a decade ago. This looks pretty good.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Lots of dragons, lots of different dragonsts of dragon like.
I like dragon diversity. Here's a podcast. We have drawn
a line on this and for dragon diversity, and I'm
glad we're starting to see it on film.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Dragon diversity in Mountain dew diversity. That's how mac lives
his life.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
There's a diversity thing in there somewhere we can we
can figure out.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
News Domp. But a teaser thirty seconds for F one,
the Brad Pitt Racing movie coming out in July, and
looks nice, looks great. The last one that came out
over the summer looked. You know, they give us a
lot more. But I'm looking forward to this.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
If you do win the movie draft, it's because you
go F one, Yeah for one, and it's gonna get
you one hundred and twenty points, and it very well might.
It's gonna make one hundred and fifty million dollars and
it's probably gonna kick ass. You see it looks sexy too.
Brad Pitt had its shirt off. He's got to two's.
I mean this, This movie's gonna be great.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
He's not gonna get any Christmas gifts, but he might
win me the drafts Dompe. Another trailer teaser for Novacane.
This is the Jack Quay. He can't feel pain, but
he might die movie.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Yeah. I don't know how much interest I got in this.
I don't know if it's a theater movie for me.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
News Depe, but a teaser for m threegan two point zero.
She was dancing and they didn't give us any kind
of a plot or nothing. But no, people seem to
like dancing.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Yeah, just dancing to Chapel Roon's feminenomenon. And uh, I
guess they know how to market because that's that's playing
it up. Well. It's a very popular artist and coming
off of very popular first movie. So have you seen
the first movie yet?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
No? I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I haven't either either. Maybe I'll get to it. Maybe
I'll get to it this year.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Speaking of marketing and advertising moves dump of course, during
the Big Game, we have so many spectacles and people
watching for different reasons. One of those reasons is the
commercials MAC. We have a bunch of them right here.
Did anything really stand out this year?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Honestly, No, I got. I got a pretty good laugh
from the Seal Seal. I enjoyed Seal, the recording artists
being a seal, even though that's quite obvious. The Dunkings thing,
I don't. I don't remember how much they showed us
live during the game, but there's a seven minute video
for the Dunkings.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Did you watch it like I did?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
It's pretty decent.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
No, not if anything. I walked away wondering why I
would waste my time more.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
It's like it was like acherman, That's pretty much what
I felt like.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Because when I saw the thirty seconds or minute during
the game, I'm like, I'm not even really sure what
the point of this is. I don't know what, Like,
who's like? What is I'm confused right now, so fucking confused.
Are they trying to win something? Was there a competition?
What was the competition?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
They're pop stars, you know, after achieving fame and now
they're going to this comic con to sign stuff, you know,
but Matt and Tom weren't there, you know those It's
like and it would be like the two worst members
have in sync shown up to comic Con. Who I
would say, Oh, don't put me in a corner here.
So you got JC and Justin for sure top two,
and then you have Joey Lance and Chris Chris for
(24:09):
sure is in the bottom. People like I might put
Lance fourth. I think Lance is fourth. I'd put Joey third.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
This would be like if you went to see your
favorite band and only Apple and Taboo showed up.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Everyone knows how big of a Fergie and Black Eyed
Peas fan I am. Did you know I learned this
Goop go Ahead that the band existed before her. They
brought her in, she left doing her solo stuff. They
still exist as Black Eyed Peas without Fergie.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
And what's crazy is that she did her solo stuff
and Will I Am still produced all the songs, so
it's like they're still doing Black Eyed Peas.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeah, they're still friends. I don't think there was ill
will when she left. She's also given us the greatest
rendition of the national anthem of all time as well.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Back to this dunk King's I still I don't know
what the point of the commercial was. Also, did you
hear when they introduced Bill and Jorge on as the Belichicks?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Was that hurt? I couldn't tell if it was a standard. Well,
I don't really know what she looks it. I like,
I know she's a brunette girl, but I couldn't tell that.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I saw the end credits and it said Jordaan whatever
her last name is.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yeah, spell your name right. First of all, I'm also
a little disappointing you. You're not wearing your Dunkings jacket
this morning.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
I don't have a Dunkings jacket.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
You ordered a Dunkings.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I was about to last year, but they ran out,
and I'm actually pretty happy that they did. That would
have been sixty dollars down the drain.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
That's sixty less dollars for Chuck E Cheese right there.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Last year's dunk King's commercial was hilarious and great. This
one stunk.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
You hate sequels, That's that's where we're getting. I did
enjoy the Eugene Levy eyebrows.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Okay, but let's get to that right now. Okay, I
love that one. I was cackling. I thought it was
hilarious when the caterpillars were not worthy of the eyebrows.
But then, roughly an hour later, a different product, so
that was for was it Pizza Hut Dominant, don't remember,
it was from one of those pizza companies. They had
Little Caesars, Little Caesars.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Ah, it was its.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Roughly an hour later there was a commercial for Pringles
where mustaches were flying off faces. What is happening right now?
Were these two companies duped by the same ad agency
pitching the same thing?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Possibly? Yeah, this is a this is an Armageddon versus whatever?
The one that was worse than Army.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
It was twin commercials Bugs Life, Ants, Volcano. The other
one it takes to the Parent Trap. Those are more
movies about actual twins.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
But still, there you go, There you go. I missed
the Pringles one. I must have been pissing or getting
a drink or something. So I was not as affected
by this as you were.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
It threw me off of the entire rest of the game.
You know, don't don't look at all the bad bets
that I made that I lost, every single one of
it was this mustache commercial where I was. I was perplexed.
I was so confused by this. I couldn't believe, Like
I could imagine Pringles sitting there watching the Eugene Levy
one going, isn't this what our commercial is? And then
(27:10):
when their shows up, they're like they everyone thinks that
we copied them.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Some of the issues with these massive commercials for the
quote unquote big game these days is it's all you know,
pomp and circumstance, and you don't remember the product that they.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
No because now it's all like you don't know what
any of these things are. It's just what celebrity pops up,
where there are no what's ups.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
The biggest thing for me. And in this commercial ranck
four times the cowboy skin hat. I have no idea
what that was for. I was just mad. I was
just mad at it.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Oh. And also, if you're gonna show the monkey puppy
baby at the beginning of a commercial, you better show
it for more than just three seconds. If you're gonna
tease that little guy, he needs to star in the commercial.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Harrison Ford had a jeep Commerci that was directed by
James Mangold. What's the point of wasting all this money
to get James Mangold to direct your commercial?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Well, you're talking about it, yeah, but you are a
jeep guy. You love jeeps.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Well, I am a jeep guy. What's the point of
getting Harrison Ford also for your chip? I don't know.
Just show the fucking jeep doing jeep shit and people
are gonna keep buying jeeps.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
How about you had Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal going
out there and doing there. When Harry met Sally famous
scene and she put so much mayonnaise on her sandwich,
I could not believe it. And I'm not anti mayonnaise.
I know a lot of people can't stand the look
the smell the texture. I'm not anti na I like.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
A little bit of mayonnaise. Yeah, things too much. I'm disgusted.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Her sandwich was mayonnaise and turkey. It wasn't turkey with mayonnaise.
She globbed it on there. I wouldn't be surprised if
she pulled them. What my dad does. We find cold
cuts in the mayonnaise constantly, because what he'll do is
he'll sit there with his fucking bucket of mayonnaise, roll
up a piece of ham, dip it in there, and
(29:03):
just eat. And he's just he's like winning the Pooh
with honey, just fucking clomping down on mayonnaise.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
That's an unbelievable quote. We find cold cuts in the mayo.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I could see my dad sitting there and watching this
commercial being like, yep, this makes sense.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
It's a little different though. You know what I like
to do with peanut butter?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
The rich in the peanut butter? Yeah, before you have
a chance.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
To peanut butter and mayonnaise different things.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Because sometimes I'll leave some scrap rich in the peanut
butter that I'm just gonna get next time with another rich.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
What else happened? During commercials, there was that cold foam
tongue guy.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yeah, I missed that one too. I didn't. I didn't
catch that one.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
The guy puts cold foam on his drink and he
sits it and he just goes back and goes a.
I looked at my wife and said, don't you get
any ideas, babe.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Eh oh.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Also in that mayonnaise commercial, sid the kid's swing dog
pops up and she's like, Oh, that's what she's.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
I'll tell you that fucking I'm gonna go buy it
right now. I think that that body wastch she's hawking
these days.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Oh what's that called. She's uh, Sidney Sweeney, the body
wash genie. Oh, the sasquatch genie, right, something like that.
Which that is brilliant marketing because it rides.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yes, If Sidney Sweeney told me to eat a mayo
and turkey sandwich in the shower, I would do it.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
I'm just picturing you guys right now, like lady in
the tramp with a mayonnaise sandwich and you guys meeting
in the middle. It's covered in.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Mayo, covered in mayo and body wash.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Then we also had there was a Glen Powell Goldilocks one,
Glen Pile's good, did you see Chasmo? No?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
What's Jasmo?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Chasmo? Was the Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson one?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Oh, I did catch this.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Did you watch the thirty second one so there was
a different one. Did you see just the thirty seconds
that was during the game or did you watch the
full one minute clip on YouTube?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
No? I didn't see that, so I'm gonna have to
watch that, a.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Full one minute clip on YouTube, way more graphic, and
it's funny. Yeah, Chasmo's eye pops out of his head
and then they kick it and they're like, oh, the
jet propulsion from it crushed his head and his eye
shot out of his head. And then Sam Richard's like,
you're still going to school tomorrow. That's a good line.
That's it for commercials. They weren't great. I'm more mad
(31:24):
that I wasted my time on the dunk Kings, and
I'm I need answers to what happened with the facial
hair flying off people's faces. Speaking of not great, Oh,
let's go news.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Do I would hear yeah, I would love to hear
your thoughts on the Kendrick Lamar halftime show feature in sis.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
I thought it was good and I'm happy people enjoyed it.
How do you like that? For an answer, I feel like.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
The prevailing thought of the internet was a lot of
people didn't like it. And as a guy, I don't
really like Kendrick Lamar. I would say, there's a song
or two an album and I enjoy I'm I'm not
a Kendrick guy. I don't really like him. I don't
really like that he seems to prey upon certain themes
to get his you know, his Grammys from the old Whites.
(32:08):
But outside of that, I actually thought the show was okay.
I love Sizza. I didn't think it was bad like
some people are saying. I didn't think it was necessarily
boring either. I just thought it was okay. It was fine.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Did you like Serena Williams.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
That was the most jarring thing of the whole thing,
Serena Williams crip walking over in the corner of the stadium.
I didn't. I didn't quite get it.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Prior to it, it was teased like, I have an
amazing special guest. See what happens. I'm guessing she was
the special guest.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Yeah, they're both from the same area. Both grew up
in Compton, and she dated Drake, Yeah, which I don't remember.
I don't recall that that might not be I.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Guess Sizza also did too. That's what I'm being told me,
given all these little things here. Also, his stage was
a PlayStation controller, and Drake's albums are made by Sony.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Oh look at you, look at you breaking things down.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I saw this on social media.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I don't think not Like Us as a very good song.
I do like Yelling and Mustard, however.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
So that's TV OFF. That's a different song.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah, I know, but I'm just talking about Kendrick in general.
I actually don't like TV OFF, but I like Yelling Mustard.
I don't think not like Us. I don't think it's
a very good song. But that said, I was a
huge Drake guy, like twelve years ago. I don't think
Drake's very good anymore. So I don't really have a
dog in the fight. I'm just over this whole Kendrick
and Drake thing. I'm over it, so I'm not interested
in that.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
I loved Samuel L. Jackson yelling at Us and yelling
at Kendrick. That was fun. That's good stuff. And then
I also loved how he brought out DJ Mustard, and
I assume that DJ Mustard said to him, like, Hey,
what should I do on the stage? I don't know.
Hold the football and walk around, dude. That's all he did.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Last musical performance of the game or prior to the
game was googa and.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
That was good.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Yeah, that was the best performance of the night.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
My prediction for next year post Malone, I don't want that,
but I'm gonna say, you want to know why?
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Why?
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Because he's a He's a chameleon to all genres and
by having him do it, By having him do it,
you can appeal to nobody.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
People were upset, and I do think rightfully so that
knowledge is the home of Lil Wayne. You could have
done a little Wayne halftime. Lil Wayne's definitely over the
hill these days, but I could see the argument for that.
Do we know who the super Bowl isn't next year?
I don't know, man, I'm gonna look it up right now.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Because oh and I mentioned in our chat too, I
think that someone that would be great because you want
someone young enough so that they're still relevant with the
with the current. Because you're doing this for a female audience,
you also want kids that stick around for the game.
Someone that's relevant right now has an amazing back catalog,
and I would assume next year will be posturing for
(34:37):
maybe another Oscar. You get Ariana Grande.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Grande would be great. She definitely would be good. Twenty
twenty six Super Bowl is taking place at Levi's stadium
in San Francisco, or just outside of San Francisco, So
maybe they go for a Northwest fibe there. Maybe they
do a little grunge, not quite, but maybe they look
for that. But it is also California still, so.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
You just have everyone go out there in jeans show
off their Levi Jean, which Kendrick gummost tripped over his genes.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
That was the most confusing thing of the evening is
how long it was jeans were I thought he was
gonna take a tumble.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
News dope some other stuff not having to do with
the Super Bowl. Kristin Miliotti, now she won the Critics
Choice Award right for.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Yeah, yeah, she won something.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Yeah. She said that it is her wildest dream and
hope that she will return as Sophia Falcne in her
own spinoff or in any of the Batman films.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
I would like her to be featured in other things. Yeah,
I don't need her own.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Spinoff once again, say if she's on trial or you know,
she pops up somewhere, or even if she's just doing
you know, like when her father would pop up in movies.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
She's really ingratiated herself well to this comic book community,
and I am a big fan of hers. I'll tell
you what.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
Colin Farrell also won Right Critics Choice. I think so yah, Now,
is this for limited series once again? It must be
so if they get picked up for a season two
once again, they have to give back those awards.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Throw it back, throw it out the windows.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Unprofessional catshit news dope Nicholas Holtz, while speaking with CBR,
gave a lot of Lex Luthor nuggets. Said that he
would like to play Lex Luthor for a long time.
There is so much I want to do with the character.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
I mean, as we know from Superman lore and the
show Smallville, you can sort of do this intertwined Clark
and Lex story throughout a number of movies. Shows like
it doesn't need to be one and done. He can
kind of lurk in the background for a while. So
I'm if he's if his Luthor is as good as
it is possibly gonna be for this movie, I'd be
happy to keep him around lingering for a while and
(36:39):
and not the same way, but similar to the way
that Loki was a villain when we first met him
in Avengers and then he turns into a hero by
the end. I think we can keep Lex around like that.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
He also said that he loves how James Gunn writes
the character.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
I am looking forward to that. I think we're all
looking forward to gun Spin on this DCU.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
It was Dingo said that he is open to playing
Norman Osborne in the MCU. He currently voices the iconic
villain in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider Man.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Yeah, dude, this show is good. The voice acting's good.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
I wasn't expecting much going into it, but I have
really enjoyed it so far. Right.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
So, he was on the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast, and
he also was talking about internet rumors of him possibly
taking over as Kang in the MCU, and when he
figured out that someone had already been doing the character,
He's like, I don't want someone else's character, I want
my own.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Yeah makes sense.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
News demp Nora is now the favorite to win Best
Picture at the Oscars. It has won Best Picture at
the PGA, DGA and Critics Choice Awards over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Yeah, this is nice, and I've been talking about it
for a few months.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Do you think you spreading the word is what's gotten
at all these wins?
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Well, I wish I had bet this and not wicked.
I talked about how how much the waters were for
Best Picture. You know, in December there was no real
clear front runner, and over the first month of the
year it appeared to be the Brutalist was starting to
take a hold of this thing. Now there was a
little controversy with AI with the Brutalist, which bumped it
down a little bit. And now it seems because I
(38:16):
do think it is the best movie of the year,
which I think obviously helps things, Anora has taken the
lead for betting favorite anyways, for Austin.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Yeah, I saw it on DK earlier. Yeah, it's now
at minus two hundred. It was at plus five hundred,
like as early as last week or late as last week,
is a plus five hundred and.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
This is this bodes well. The other things haven't moved yet,
like original screenplay, and Mikey Madison for Best Actress. But
as this pulls in and we still have three weeks
before the Oscars, you might start to see that trickle
effect of all the Aora stuff moving up and up.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
I'm kind of pissed of myself because I think I
sent you all these articles. It was like, whatever the
fuck the magazines are, but they were all picking the
Bob Dylan movie as the Bob Dylan movie will win
Best Picture this year, and I'm like, it's that plus
fourteen hundred. I'll slap some money on this. But I
told you, I know I'm stupid. I love gambling and
(39:14):
I'm really bad at it.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
And also I don't so you might know this better
than I. When is the cutoff for Oscars voting?
Speaker 2 (39:21):
I think it just started or it's just starting now.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Okay. So there's also a chance that a lot of
people are just watching these movies these last few weeks too,
which are affecting some of these odds.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
And finally, I just saw before hopping on here that
the Monkey Bio pic is going to be on Paramount
Digital tomorrow. Mac. If you are looking to buy a
steal book, you can do that. In May question Mark, What.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
God, what how is that? Why would anyone buy the
steel book of a wildly unsuccessful movie six months after
it came out when it would be digital four months?
Part of that, I don't understand anything behind this.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
There's a chance that you're gonna love this movie. I
bet I may like it a lot, but I certainly
not gonna pay money to see it.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Because the Brits were so mad online that the Americans
didn't care about Robbie Williams when ninety of us are like,
who the fuck is Robbie Williams And why the fuck
is he a monkey?
Speaker 2 (40:15):
I saw a clip earlier where I'm pretty sure the
monkey was on cocaine and he was in a battle
with a bunch of other monkeys, oh, a monkey fighter, Like,
I don't know what's happening in this movie.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Yeah, I'll watch it when it's free.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
As soon as it's free, I'm gonna watch it. Same
as of right now, dog Man is the number one
movie on the year for me, though right now.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
It's that Will Ferrell Reese Witherspoon Hulu movie for me.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Credit to me for missing the Paddington screening over the
weekend because I just plumb forgot.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (40:44):
I had a winter ball to get to.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Yeah, it looked very dark where you were.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
It was very dark, but it was a very good time.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
What was the spread?
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Like?
Speaker 1 (40:52):
There would you have for food?
Speaker 2 (40:54):
So we had Dumpling daughter that is the social so
my wife does social media for Dumpling Daughter, so I
was able to get some dumpling. On the other side,
it was sliders, cheeseburgers, Nashville Chicken. They also had ice
cream stands.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Were they in the King's Hawaiian Bunch?
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Yes, I believe. So you know who I saw there
walking right by me? It was David Andrews. Uh, you
know what I said? What I said, Hey David, I
like your podcast. He paused for a second. He's like
as if no one's ever said that to.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Him, Yeah, which I don't think it one has.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
He's like, oh, thanks man, Then he has left.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
I saw David Andrews circa twenty fifteen or twenty sixteen
at a house party. It's not as big as you
would think he was.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
He's taller than I thought, but he's not like big
as you think.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Yeah, he's not super wide. You know who's one of
the biggest humans I've ever seen on this planet on
planet Earth. Dam Fleming one of the largest humans beings
I've ever seen. Former Pat's great.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
I'll also say this mac is while at this Winter Ball,
and you know me, you you would consider me to
be like an above average sized man, right, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah, a five to ten and a half. That's
a it's a pretty good size, pretty good.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
You're you're taller than the average man and you're in shape.
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
Eighty percent of the people there, the men were taller
than me. I was looking up at everybody. I felt
so insecure. I felt like I was a I could
fit in a thimble. I felt terrible, like.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
Someone was just gonna pick you up and put them
in your pocket. Ah, I was like, what in their pocket?
Speaker 2 (42:26):
Like I could see how like when we were there,
no one should have respected me because of how short
I was, this piece of shit, you know, small, this
little guy is. I hated it.
Speaker 1 (42:39):
I think you gotta start wearing a nice boot, a
nice fucking two inches boot to these things.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
You know what I had to do because I had
my I had my lubatons on is because it was
snowing outside. Is we got an uber home, and because
we had to walk in the snow, I had to
take my shoes off and walk barefoot in the snow.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
Yeah, because even though they make no show socks, they
show in those types of shoes because it's.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
I couldn't even wear no show socks because of how cut.
So I had nothing on and I was like, this
is how mister Deed's got that black foot?
Speaker 1 (43:07):
Do those hurt your heel?
Speaker 2 (43:09):
Not if you're used to them a little chafing or
my heels are already chafed. I don't know why my
heels are super chafed. Do you want to look at them?
Speaker 1 (43:17):
Oh, you got a real gritty heel.

like a real man. If you look at my hands.
