Episode 233 - Go Piss Yourself

[00:00:17] Hey everybody, it's another episode of Go Flix Yourself. My name is Ben Conowitz and with me as always is the Psycopse of my Wolverine, Bradford Omen.

[00:00:27] That's me! I'm the leader of the X-Men.

[00:00:29] Yeah, you're a bitch.

[00:00:31] Too bad I get Jean Grey.

[00:00:32] Yeah, but I get to be sad.

[00:00:34] Wait, what? Damn it! Son of a gun!

[00:00:37] The Professor X to my Wolverine, Nate Laux.

[00:00:41] Is it because I'm so smart?

[00:00:42] It is.

[00:00:43] Oh.

[00:00:43] And honestly, the real leader right here.

[00:00:45] Yeah, but he's got a real thick head of hair though, so that's the one non-professor.

[00:00:50] That's okay.

[00:00:50] It's odd because most of the men in my family are bald.

[00:00:54] Very true.

[00:00:54] Yeah.

[00:00:55] So...

[00:00:55] Your brother is a bald god.

[00:00:58] I mean, he's fine.

[00:00:59] He's an Adonis.

[00:00:59] He's an Adonis.

[00:01:00] He's fine, alright?

[00:01:01] He's not fine.

[00:01:02] You've got a thing for my brother by the way.

[00:01:03] I do.

[00:01:04] I would probably...

[00:01:04] Because every time we bring up my brother, you're like, that guy, I mean, he's got a piece

[00:01:08] of ace.

[00:01:09] I would probably touch it.

[00:01:11] His penis?

[00:01:14] I was hoping the joke would go a little longer, but you're like, just cutting the quick there.

[00:01:19] Yeah, he's just going for it.

[00:01:20] Because he's really curious because...

[00:01:22] The Jean Grey to my Wolverine, Teresa Ruminski...

[00:01:25] Oh no, it's not Ruminski anymore.

[00:01:27] Is it still Ruminski?

[00:01:27] Mm-hmm.

[00:01:28] Thank God.

[00:01:28] Teresa Ruminski.

[00:01:29] Sorry, I forgot real quick.

[00:01:30] I'm like, oh, I don't know.

[00:01:31] It was, and then it wasn't, and now it is again.

[00:01:33] Teresa Ruminski.

[00:01:34] There we go.

[00:01:35] How are you, my dear?

[00:01:36] Fantastic.

[00:01:37] That's it.

[00:01:37] Teresa was my girlfriend in high school.

[00:01:39] I was going to say, it's kind of funny that you made her your Jean Grey.

[00:01:41] That is funny.

[00:01:42] Oh, I didn't even put that together.

[00:01:43] Wolverine had it for Jean Grey, truly, madly, deeply.

[00:01:45] Oh, you knew...

[00:01:47] Okay, you said you were going to make that stupid reference, but I figured you'd pepper

[00:01:50] it in eventually.

[00:01:51] Whenever Teresa's here, I'm always going to make that reference.

[00:01:53] By the way, it is one of my favorite things.

[00:01:56] Because you put this in our chat thread, and I'm like, what does this mean?

[00:01:59] You're like, you're going to have Ben tell you.

[00:02:01] I'm not telling you.

[00:02:01] Ben has not told me.

[00:02:02] No, no.

[00:02:03] Oh.

[00:02:04] Go ahead.

[00:02:04] Teresa, please do.

[00:02:06] Yeah.

[00:02:06] If you know this.

[00:02:07] Yeah.

[00:02:07] Of course I know it.

[00:02:09] I was in high school when we were dating.

[00:02:12] The song, Truly, Madly, Deeply by Savage Garden.

[00:02:16] The classic Savage Garden.

[00:02:17] I was like, this song is ridiculous, right?

[00:02:21] And Ben's like, oh, I love this song.

[00:02:23] That sounds bad.

[00:02:28] I'm never going to live that down.

[00:02:29] Probably made her a mix CD.

[00:02:31] Did you dedicate it to her?

[00:02:31] Did you call into U93 and dedicate it?

[00:02:33] I probably did.

[00:02:34] Went to a fun night at Kessling and played it for her.

[00:02:36] Did you play in slow dance, maybe?

[00:02:38] We were in high school.

[00:02:39] Oh.

[00:02:40] Yeah.

[00:02:40] We were in high school.

[00:02:40] So went to fun night at high school.

[00:02:42] Fun night at high school.

[00:02:43] Yep.

[00:02:43] Did you ever go to like a prom or anything together?

[00:02:45] We went to GR.

[00:02:47] And prom.

[00:02:47] And prom.

[00:02:48] For those who don't know, GR is girls reserve.

[00:02:51] It was my senior year.

[00:02:52] It's like a Sadie Hawkins thing.

[00:02:53] The plan was always to break up before I went to college.

[00:02:56] So Ben broke up.

[00:02:57] Wait.

[00:02:57] Whose plan to break up?

[00:02:59] Like both of us mutually.

[00:03:00] Like I don't.

[00:03:01] He was in high school.

[00:03:01] I was like, I'm not going to go to college while we're together.

[00:03:04] Are you the same age?

[00:03:05] No.

[00:03:05] I was two years older.

[00:03:06] Okay.

[00:03:07] She was going to hanker to some dumb fuck back at the court.

[00:03:10] Don't blame you.

[00:03:10] Go on.

[00:03:11] I was a senior and I was a sophomore.

[00:03:13] I was a.

[00:03:13] Oh, you probably thought you were so cool.

[00:03:15] I was.

[00:03:15] I thought I was so cool.

[00:03:16] Actually, that's when I peaked.

[00:03:18] I peaked in high school dating Teresa Raminsky and it'll never be the same.

[00:03:22] But then Ben decided to break up with me the week before prom.

[00:03:26] He broke up with you before the week before.

[00:03:28] What a jerk.

[00:03:29] I didn't say I was a good person when I was 16.

[00:03:32] We still went to prom, but he was like, then all the pressure is off.

[00:03:35] So how did he do it?

[00:03:36] How did he break up with you?

[00:03:37] Oh, I don't.

[00:03:37] I don't remember.

[00:03:38] I really don't remember the granular.

[00:03:39] Man, I don't know those details.

[00:03:41] He broke the Savage Garden CD.

[00:03:43] I was like, truly, madly, DB.

[00:03:45] I want out.

[00:03:47] No, she was the best.

[00:03:49] You knew you were going to break up.

[00:03:50] Uh-huh.

[00:03:51] And he just like, he just did it before you could.

[00:03:54] So there was no expectation for prom, I think.

[00:03:57] It was a mutual thing.

[00:03:57] Yeah.

[00:03:57] And then it was just, I got over it.

[00:03:59] One last hurrah.

[00:04:01] We did have it.

[00:04:01] We did have it.

[00:04:01] We had a great time.

[00:04:02] One last ride.

[00:04:04] It was super fun.

[00:04:05] Ride or die.

[00:04:05] It doesn't seem like there's an indie rom-com here.

[00:04:07] There is.

[00:04:07] There very much is.

[00:04:09] You know.

[00:04:09] And then.

[00:04:10] We had a great time, honestly.

[00:04:12] Do you remember that New Year's Eve, we were out at that house, your friend's house

[00:04:16] out of the golf course?

[00:04:17] I don't remember it.

[00:04:18] Go on.

[00:04:18] Oh, yeah.

[00:04:19] So we were at a friend's house.

[00:04:21] Yeah, because you were saying that we were going sledding down the hill on New Year's

[00:04:26] Eve.

[00:04:26] And you woke up on what?

[00:04:28] A pool table.

[00:04:29] A pool table.

[00:04:29] And I believe I woke up in a bathtub.

[00:04:30] I was really drunk.

[00:04:31] Yeah, we were pretty drunk.

[00:04:32] Whose house was this?

[00:04:33] I don't remember, honestly.

[00:04:34] I don't remember.

[00:04:35] Do you remember?

[00:04:35] You don't want to out them?

[00:04:36] No clue.

[00:04:36] No, no.

[00:04:37] I would out them tomorrow.

[00:04:37] I don't even know if I knew the person.

[00:04:39] Yeah.

[00:04:39] Come on.

[00:04:40] Their parents are out of town.

[00:04:41] It'll be fine.

[00:04:42] Tom Dermody.

[00:04:43] Mayor Tom Dermody's house.

[00:04:45] That's what it was.

[00:04:45] You were in high school?

[00:04:46] High school.

[00:04:47] It was Jim Pressel.

[00:04:50] No, that would have been my party, because that was New Prairie.

[00:04:52] Yeah, there you go.

[00:04:52] That was my high school.

[00:04:54] Local politics.

[00:04:55] That's why people tune in to go flicks and stuff.

[00:04:58] All right.

[00:04:58] Dumb time.

[00:05:00] What?

[00:05:01] What the fuck are you doing?

[00:05:03] Hold on.

[00:05:03] All right.

[00:05:05] Dumb time.

[00:05:07] I'm preparing to be disappointed.

[00:05:09] No, you're not.

[00:05:09] What?

[00:05:11] Am I?

[00:05:11] You're preparing to be disappointed?

[00:05:13] Am I going to disappoint you?

[00:05:14] By the way, you guys just missed Brad and a bug.

[00:05:18] Brad just.

[00:05:19] So we had a power outage last week.

[00:05:23] And as soon as the.

[00:05:24] And Brad looks so scared.

[00:05:26] As soon as the power went out, I went, whoa, wind.

[00:05:29] And it was so dumb and weird.

[00:05:30] And you guys missed it.

[00:05:32] But Brad had a bug that was flying.

[00:05:33] And he was, whoa, what, what, what, what?

[00:05:35] I want this fucking Japanese beetles flying around my face.

[00:05:38] And so Teresa's like, what are you going to be disappointed?

[00:05:42] I was like, we're sort of a one man show over here.

[00:05:45] But the way he did it, it was like, it was like.

[00:05:51] How dare you?

[00:05:51] It's a beetle.

[00:05:52] I want to see what you're going to do when there's a bug flying around your face.

[00:05:55] It's a beetle.

[00:05:56] It's a Japanese beetle.

[00:05:58] Grow up, Peter Pan.

[00:06:00] No, I was saying, have dumb, dumb time, dumb time for the sponsor.

[00:06:03] What's my favorite memory?

[00:06:05] Is that what you're going to ask this time?

[00:06:08] I was just talking about when your uncle licked my hand.

[00:06:11] Oh, wow.

[00:06:13] I was so concerned with where that sentence was going.

[00:06:18] So which uncle?

[00:06:19] My Uncle Jerry, RIP.

[00:06:20] I think I would prefer her to tell the story.

[00:06:22] I just want to say that he's dead.

[00:06:24] And so he can't be canceled because he's already in the ground.

[00:06:27] He's been canceled about as much as he can be.

[00:06:29] Exactly.

[00:06:30] So he's been dead for 18 years.

[00:06:32] So Ben's mentor and uncle licked you.

[00:06:35] First time I met him.

[00:06:36] Yeah, I was like, hey.

[00:06:38] What?

[00:06:38] Uncle Jerry took my hand.

[00:06:40] He just licked it.

[00:06:41] He just licked it.

[00:06:42] He would take a girl's hand that I would be dating, and he would handshake and pull it

[00:06:45] in and lick the top of her hand to see what her reaction was.

[00:06:48] Was that like a fetish?

[00:06:49] No, he did it because then some would slap him, and then she's like, ah, that's a keeper.

[00:06:54] They would slap him?

[00:06:55] Like, hey, don't do that.

[00:06:56] Yeah, because they'd stand up for themselves.

[00:06:58] And I swear to God, he thought that was an appropriate thing to do.

[00:07:01] I'm like, oh.

[00:07:02] How many times did this happen?

[00:07:03] Oh, like a baker's dozen?

[00:07:06] So were you there when this happened?

[00:07:08] Oh, absolutely.

[00:07:09] What did you say and do?

[00:07:11] I always forget that he's going to do it.

[00:07:13] I was going to say.

[00:07:19] I think I just was like, oh my gosh, what?

[00:07:22] Did that really just happen?

[00:07:23] Yeah.

[00:07:23] Yeah, he was a weird guy.

[00:07:24] Now I'm even more disturbed knowing that this happened more than once.

[00:07:28] Yeah, I was just like thinking.

[00:07:29] I forgot.

[00:07:30] Manny girl.

[00:07:31] Manny.

[00:07:31] You were one of many traumatized women.

[00:07:34] What else did you forget, though?

[00:07:35] Uncle Jerry did.

[00:07:36] You know what?

[00:07:37] That was really the only one weird thing, I swear.

[00:07:39] He was a good dude.

[00:07:40] He was funny.

[00:07:41] He was.

[00:07:41] No, I really did get a lot of my sense of humor from him.

[00:07:44] He was hilarious.

[00:07:45] I got some Playboy experience from the barbershop.

[00:07:48] Yeah, he was a barber.

[00:07:49] He was a barber here in town and he had this.

[00:07:50] He had a stack of Playboys in his barbershop and it was a one room, one chair barbershop.

[00:07:57] And if you got a Playboy out, it didn't matter how old you are.

[00:08:00] You were a nine-year-old boy.

[00:08:01] He'd let you look at it.

[00:08:02] But as soon as you started giggling, he'd take it away.

[00:08:04] He's like, yeah, you're not used to it.

[00:08:05] You're not old enough yet.

[00:08:06] So me and Tim Michalka back then, I was like 10 or 11.

[00:08:09] How awkward is this, by the way, to look at a Playboy when you're around other people?

[00:08:12] We started snickering.

[00:08:13] He just walks over and pulls it out of my head.

[00:08:15] You're not ready yet.

[00:08:16] And I'm like, come on, Tim.

[00:08:17] Wait, wait.

[00:08:18] What are you doing?

[00:08:19] Alternative.

[00:08:20] It just seems so weird.

[00:08:21] I don't know.

[00:08:22] That was his litmus test.

[00:08:23] So he really is okay, but you better just read the stories.

[00:08:27] Just like you can look at it, but you can't giggle.

[00:08:30] Yeah.

[00:08:31] If you're being immature and you're laughing at naked women, you don't get it yet.

[00:08:34] Yeah.

[00:08:36] I'm just saying, what is the motivation for having a Playboy in a barber shop?

[00:08:41] This is from a different time.

[00:08:42] Yeah.

[00:08:43] Some men just like to look at pretty ladies.

[00:08:45] Yes.

[00:08:45] And this is the same Uncle Jerry that my mom got so mad at him for leaving me alone at

[00:08:50] four years old to go out and get a pack of smokes.

[00:08:53] And I was at his apartment and he left the TV on and I just watched TV.

[00:08:57] Playboy channel.

[00:08:58] And he left me.

[00:08:59] You didn't even know it was gone.

[00:09:01] No, I didn't know it at all.

[00:09:01] If the TV was on.

[00:09:02] Also, this is the same Uncle Jerry that had a waterbed.

[00:09:05] And I was like, this is amazing.

[00:09:06] Waterbeds are awesome.

[00:09:07] I was like, my mom tells a story.

[00:09:08] Like, I came home one time.

[00:09:09] I was like, man, Uncle Jerry has the best bed ever.

[00:09:11] And like, I was on the waterbed.

[00:09:13] I looked up and I could see myself in the ceiling.

[00:09:15] Because he had a mirrored ceiling and a waterbed.

[00:09:18] Uncle Jerry fucked.

[00:09:20] By the way, listeners, if you have a waterbed or somebody you know has a waterbed, I want

[00:09:24] to know because do those still exist?

[00:09:26] Yeah.

[00:09:27] We would really love to know if you know anybody currently who has a waterbed.

[00:09:30] And also, if they've had a waterbed for more than, let's say, 10 years, how is their

[00:09:35] spine?

[00:09:36] Yeah.

[00:09:36] Like, it cannot be good.

[00:09:38] I don't know.

[00:09:38] Did you guys ever have a waterbed?

[00:09:39] I had a waterbed when I was a teenager.

[00:09:41] I bet waterbed technology has only gotten better.

[00:09:43] Waterbed technology.

[00:09:43] You know the thing that I went into?

[00:09:45] I went into Bed Bath & Beyond and I didn't see any waterbeds.

[00:09:48] You know, I got Serta and you got Purple and you got Casper.

[00:09:51] But I didn't see one waterbed on any of these.

[00:09:54] Let's be clear, though.

[00:09:55] Bed Bath & Beyond didn't sell beds.

[00:09:57] No.

[00:09:57] They sold everything for beds.

[00:09:58] Whatever.

[00:09:59] When I went to the mattress store, I did not see one water mattress.

[00:10:01] Hold on.

[00:10:02] To your credit, I will say, a missed opportunity to have a place called Bed Bath & Beyond

[00:10:05] and not sell a waterbed.

[00:10:08] Bed Bath & Beyond should have one.

[00:10:10] It should be a waterbed store.

[00:10:11] I didn't know that.

[00:10:12] That's all this is.

[00:10:12] It is true, though, Brad.

[00:10:14] Waterbed mattresses have improved, according to my internet research here in the last minute.

[00:10:20] And they're no longer like Wiggly.

[00:10:23] Just a bladder full of water.

[00:10:25] Like a whale body where it's like a big whoopie cushion that you sleep on.

[00:10:30] No, you plop down and it whips you off the side because the wave comes back and you hit

[00:10:35] your head on the post.

[00:10:35] Which makes sense.

[00:10:36] I bet they fixed that.

[00:10:38] They did.

[00:10:38] I just want you to know, they fixed that.

[00:10:40] Okay, good.

[00:10:41] Yeah, he had a nice mahogany headboard that I would just ride the wave into and...

[00:10:46] Oh!

[00:10:47] Oh!

[00:10:48] Every time.

[00:10:50] You'd wake up like in the corner of...

[00:10:53] My brother and I would sleep there and Alex would roll over and I'd go...

[00:10:55] Oh!

[00:10:56] Why?

[00:10:57] Whenever Uncle Joe got sick of you, he would tell you to go jump on the waterbed so you'd

[00:10:59] knock yourself out for a few hours.

[00:11:01] That's actually how he went to the store to get cigarettes.

[00:11:05] Oh, boy.

[00:11:06] By the way, I'm looking at this...

[00:11:08] This...

[00:11:09] The photos on your computer there are from the 80s.

[00:11:11] These are not real today.

[00:11:13] You should get this.

[00:11:14] That's not today, though.

[00:11:15] No, it is.

[00:11:16] Post that on Facebook, would you?

[00:11:18] Because that's hilarious.

[00:11:19] Typically, it's about $100,000 for the show.

[00:11:20] It's $100,000.

[00:11:23] So, hey, Brad, what's your favorite...

[00:11:25] Hey, Brad!

[00:11:26] What's your favorite waterbed memory?

[00:11:27] Oh, gosh.

[00:11:28] There's so many.

[00:11:29] I can't even choose.

[00:11:38] They had a waterbed.

[00:11:40] Cool.

[00:11:40] He asked me a question.

[00:11:43] Any stories about it?

[00:11:44] You should eat some weird food.

[00:11:46] Any bits or anything about it?

[00:11:48] You want to have some fun with it?

[00:11:49] No, just a normal waterbed, and I like to sit on it.

[00:11:52] My story is better.

[00:11:53] What do you got going on there with this?

[00:11:55] Hold on.

[00:11:55] Let me tell you what Ben's story.

[00:11:56] No, I was over there and fucking licked one of my friend's hands.

[00:12:00] Your old friend's hand.

[00:12:01] Yeah, and then I was reading Playboys while I was taking shits.

[00:12:05] Yeah, like a real nine-year-old experience.

[00:12:08] Kids today are a little soft.

[00:12:10] Well, they're looking at hardcore.

[00:12:13] Oh, yeah.

[00:12:14] Actually, yeah.

[00:12:14] That's what it is.

[00:12:15] It's not soft.

[00:12:16] Actually, yeah, it's different.

[00:12:17] Actually, you're soft today.

[00:12:19] No, the stuff that kids are looking at now.

[00:12:21] Yeah, it's pretty hardcore.

[00:12:22] The stuff that kids are doing today.

[00:12:25] What are they doing?

[00:12:26] Either Pastor Brad.

[00:12:27] What are they doing?

[00:12:28] These kids today, they're not even reading their Bibles.

[00:12:31] Kids are smoking drugs.

[00:12:33] They're licking cats.

[00:12:35] They're licking cats.

[00:12:36] They're having unprotected intercourse.

[00:12:38] They're staying out way past 4 p.m.

[00:12:39] Way past 4 p.m., guys.

[00:12:41] They're not even home for supper.

[00:12:43] They're drinking less milk.

[00:12:45] No, the more milk, actually.

[00:12:46] That's the one good thing they're doing.

[00:12:49] Bone, so strong.

[00:12:50] So strong.

[00:12:52] Let me ask you a question.

[00:12:53] Oh, boy.

[00:12:54] What's your favorite holiday cookie?

[00:12:56] Oh, I got an answer for you.

[00:12:58] Please answer him so I don't have to.

[00:12:59] No, Ben still has to.

[00:13:00] This is a holiday cookie, right?

[00:13:01] Not a regular cookie.

[00:13:02] Well, it could be a regular cookie.

[00:13:04] Because I don't consider it.

[00:13:05] Probably my favorite cookie is a snickerdoodle.

[00:13:07] But I don't consider that a holiday cookie.

[00:13:09] It is, though.

[00:13:09] It can be.

[00:13:10] Yeah.

[00:13:10] But I can have snickerdoodles all the time.

[00:13:12] Of course.

[00:13:13] I imagine you can have almost any cookie all the time.

[00:13:14] Yeah, but what I really enjoy.

[00:13:16] Spoiler alert.

[00:13:17] You can have any cookie any time of year.

[00:13:19] Here's the thing, though.

[00:13:20] Most people don't make.

[00:13:22] I mean, they're far more popular now because people make them and sell them.

[00:13:26] Did I ever tell you the story of when I was in college and I went over to my Jewish girlfriend's parents for Thanksgiving and they had us eat the tears of the Jewish people?

[00:13:36] It's a real thing that happened.

[00:13:37] Hey, what podcast do you think you're on right now, buddy?

[00:13:39] I just talk about eating weird things all the time of year.

[00:13:42] And you thought having Jewish tears was a good interruption for Ben's or Nate's cookie discussion.

[00:13:47] Sorry.

[00:13:47] Like the tears of Jewish people.

[00:13:49] You ate the tears of Jewish people?

[00:13:51] Yeah, they had the parsley that was dry parsley and you had to eat it.

[00:13:55] Can I ask you something?

[00:13:56] Are you sure you were at your Jewish girlfriend's house and not your German girlfriend's house?

[00:14:00] No, it was my Jewish girlfriend.

[00:14:02] I get it.

[00:14:04] No, they drank the tears of the Jewish people.

[00:14:07] Come on.

[00:14:08] Yeah, no, it's bitter.

[00:14:11] It's not meant to taste good, but you're supposed to do it just to remember during Passover or whatever.

[00:14:15] Hey, cool detour.

[00:14:16] Thanks, Ben.

[00:14:17] Nate.

[00:14:17] I like a good frosted sugar cookie in the shape of a Christmas star or something like that.

[00:14:22] No, do you like the royal icing or do you like the soft icing?

[00:14:26] Oh, soft.

[00:14:27] This is why I do it on that show.

[00:14:29] I don't know what a royal icing is.

[00:14:30] The royal icing is when it's like the harder icing.

[00:14:34] I wish you could see Nate's face.

[00:14:35] How hard is that?

[00:14:36] Is it going to break my tooth?

[00:14:38] No, but it's usually on like a crispier cookie though.

[00:14:41] Yeah, here's the thing.

[00:14:42] I don't like crispy cookies.

[00:14:43] Okay.

[00:14:44] So I want a softer sugar cookie with a soft eye.

[00:14:49] Yeah, that's perfect.

[00:14:50] I love that.

[00:14:51] I thank you for being descriptive and knowing that you need to be specific about what we're talking about.

[00:14:54] Here's the thing is I know what I want in cookies.

[00:14:56] I'm glad.

[00:14:57] All right?

[00:14:57] I might not know what I want in women or I might not know what I want in a lot of things,

[00:15:01] but I know what I want in cookies.

[00:15:02] Perfect.

[00:15:03] Ben.

[00:15:04] I know what I want in women.

[00:15:05] Do you though?

[00:15:06] I don't really know what I want in cookies.

[00:15:08] Okay.

[00:15:08] Really?

[00:15:08] You don't like cookies?

[00:15:11] Well, look at me.

[00:15:12] That's false.

[00:15:12] I know exactly what I want in cookies.

[00:15:14] I just want to want in my mouth.

[00:15:15] Just like women.

[00:15:16] Okay.

[00:15:16] You got that?

[00:15:17] We got that?

[00:15:17] What?

[00:15:18] We just got that.

[00:15:19] I'm going to boost that.

[00:15:20] Yeah.

[00:15:20] No, I think that if I had to earnestly answer that question as far as a holiday cookie,

[00:15:26] I would say...

[00:15:29] How hard is this?

[00:15:30] Yeah, it shouldn't be that hard.

[00:15:31] I just don't eat a lot of holiday cookies.

[00:15:33] You know what?

[00:15:33] The Hershey Kiss.

[00:15:34] Yeah, what are those called?

[00:15:35] Those are good.

[00:15:36] I enjoy those.

[00:15:37] I like the strawberry frosted sugar cookies at Christmas.

[00:15:45] Strawberry frosted?

[00:15:46] I genuinely don't even know what that is.

[00:15:47] I don't even...

[00:15:48] Why strawberry?

[00:15:48] They're like strawberry glazed.

[00:15:49] Okay.

[00:15:50] I've never heard of that.

[00:15:51] No.

[00:15:51] Never even heard of what that is.

[00:15:52] I don't know what that is.

[00:15:52] You're not talking about the ones with the jelly in there?

[00:15:55] No.

[00:15:55] No.

[00:15:56] The Chris Cheekies?

[00:15:57] I'm Polish.

[00:15:58] We have a bunch of Chris Cheekies.

[00:15:59] Those are good.

[00:15:59] Those are awesome.

[00:16:00] Mm-hmm.

[00:16:01] No, I was talking about...

[00:16:02] I'll show them to you.

[00:16:03] I'll show you.

[00:16:03] They don't exist.

[00:16:05] Yeah, I'm making stuff up.

[00:16:07] You're talking to a Christmas champion here.

[00:16:10] That cookie doesn't exist at Christmas...

[00:16:12] Teresa, what's your favorite holiday cookie?

[00:16:13] Don't say something stupid like Ben did.

[00:16:14] That's not stupid.

[00:16:15] I'm just being honest.

[00:16:16] No, just be honest.

[00:16:18] Actually, name a cookie that exists.

[00:16:19] I like those green dyed sugar cookies shaped like the trees.

[00:16:25] Oh, okay.

[00:16:26] They're soft.

[00:16:28] Yeah.

[00:16:28] Yeah.

[00:16:29] If you suck on them, you can really taste the butter in them.

[00:16:32] Mm-hmm.

[00:16:32] Okay.

[00:16:33] That really light green color.

[00:16:34] Yeah, I know what you're talking about.

[00:16:35] The butter cookies that come...

[00:16:37] They're a harder cookie, but they come in the tin.

[00:16:39] Around Christmas time, I could do those.

[00:16:41] The Danish cookies?

[00:16:41] Those are the Danish ones.

[00:16:42] Yeah, I could do those.

[00:16:42] I could do those.

[00:16:43] Those are good.

[00:16:44] Those are solid.

[00:16:44] I like a good butter cookie.

[00:16:45] I don't want to be wrong, but at Christmas time, I'm like, yeah, these taste right.

[00:16:48] My very specific holiday cookie, and it's not a homemade holiday cookie, but I love

[00:16:52] the white fudge-covered Oreos that come out at Christmas.

[00:16:55] No.

[00:16:55] Those.

[00:16:56] Those aren't a good thing.

[00:16:57] Okay, now I have to see.

[00:16:58] Those aren't a good thing.

[00:16:59] I've never seen these in my life.

[00:17:00] Those are just regular sugar cookies.

[00:17:03] They're strawberry.

[00:17:03] They're just regular sugar cookies, though.

[00:17:05] They're not holiday themed.

[00:17:06] It's from like a boutique.

[00:17:08] No, but that was just an example I found online.

[00:17:10] That's what I found on Etsy.

[00:17:11] Every year, the Conowitz family imports these fine strawberry sugar cookies for Christmas.

[00:17:16] Fuck you.

[00:17:17] They're just called...

[00:17:18] They're from Luxembourg.

[00:17:19] They're called buttercream...

[00:17:20] They're from Ligen cookies.

[00:17:21] They're from buttercream frosted.

[00:17:23] They're buttercream frosted strawberry sugar samplers from Liechtenhausen, Germany, and

[00:17:29] import today.

[00:17:32] Oh, man.

[00:17:34] Yeah, no.

[00:17:34] These are $75 a cookie.

[00:17:36] The white fudge-covered Oreo is my favorite.

[00:17:39] But these exist, is what I'm saying.

[00:17:40] Here's the thing.

[00:17:41] I'm going to tell you something.

[00:17:42] Go ahead, Nate.

[00:17:43] I know.

[00:17:43] No, it's fine.

[00:17:44] I'm so annoyed right now.

[00:17:45] You're going to be upset about this.

[00:17:46] I don't like Oreos.

[00:17:47] I like a vanilla Oreo.

[00:17:49] That is un-American, Nate.

[00:17:51] Hold the fuck on.

[00:17:52] That's un-American.

[00:17:52] Is it because you don't...

[00:17:53] Get a good mega stuff, and then take them apart, and then put two mega stuffs together

[00:17:58] where it's basically just the frosting.

[00:18:00] Okay, so you just like cream.

[00:18:01] It's just diabetes.

[00:18:02] I just spoon the cream, yeah.

[00:18:04] Have you brought the Coca-Cola ones?

[00:18:06] Yes.

[00:18:06] Yeah, we did that.

[00:18:08] Yes, I think I recall that.

[00:18:09] It was jarring.

[00:18:10] We did both the Coke Oreo and the Oreo Flamed Coca-Cola.

[00:18:12] That's right.

[00:18:13] You did.

[00:18:13] The Oreo Flamed Coca-Cola, I thought I was going to die.

[00:18:16] It was the worst thing.

[00:18:17] It wasn't the worst thing.

[00:18:19] It was so terrible, though.

[00:18:20] You know we've had worse things than that.

[00:18:21] Yes, Brax makes them.

[00:18:23] Yeah, Brax makes the worst thing.

[00:18:24] Anyway, I have a special treat today that's going to bring out the holiday cookie excitement

[00:18:28] in all of you.

[00:18:29] I don't believe you.

[00:18:30] So, Nate, don't look at the bag.

[00:18:32] Ben, you don't look at the bag either.

[00:18:34] What?

[00:18:34] Why can't I...

[00:18:35] Oh, I see.

[00:18:36] Stop.

[00:18:36] It's the same reason you can't ever look at the bag.

[00:18:41] I love it because Teresa is a listener, and so this must mean that Nate asks that every

[00:18:45] single time.

[00:18:46] I don't know, Nate.

[00:18:48] It's the same reason he always says don't look at the bag because it's a mystery.

[00:18:51] You open it right in front of me and you're like, don't look at the bag.

[00:18:53] Don't open it in front of me then.

[00:18:55] Teresa, don't show him the front of the bag.

[00:18:56] Don't look at it.

[00:18:57] Don't look at it.

[00:18:57] Don't even look at the bag.

[00:18:59] Back of it.

[00:18:59] I got my eyes closed.

[00:19:01] Nate, close your eyes.

[00:19:02] Don't look at the bag, Nate.

[00:19:03] I'm going to chew so loud into this macabre.

[00:19:06] Oh, no.

[00:19:08] In honor of you, Teresa, I'm going to...

[00:19:10] I am.

[00:19:13] Is this what you like?

[00:19:15] I'm going to eat like Homer Simpson.

[00:19:16] Ow.

[00:19:17] Ow.

[00:19:18] Dough.

[00:19:19] Uh-oh.

[00:19:19] Nate's going back for seconds.

[00:19:21] You're not getting the bag back.

[00:19:23] We've lost the bag to Nate.

[00:19:26] Nate?

[00:19:27] You're snickerdoodles, aren't you?

[00:19:30] Are they snickerdoodles?

[00:19:31] These are snickerdoodle flavored flips chocolate covered pretzels.

[00:19:34] I love a good snickerdoodle.

[00:19:35] Wait.

[00:19:36] As soon as you said that, I was like, ooh, Nate's going to love this.

[00:19:37] No, there's no chocolate.

[00:19:38] Oh, are they white chocolate?

[00:19:40] Benny went for a second too.

[00:19:42] Oh.

[00:19:44] They're really good.

[00:19:46] Yeah, those are good.

[00:19:47] Crunch it.

[00:19:48] Crunch it right in the middle.

[00:19:48] I'm not going to lie.

[00:19:49] I am.

[00:19:49] Those are really good.

[00:19:50] I love a good snickerdoodle.

[00:19:51] These are very good.

[00:19:52] They're my favorite cookies.

[00:19:54] Mm.

[00:19:54] Okay.

[00:19:56] Mm-hmm.

[00:19:56] How much did they pay for us?

[00:19:57] Yeah.

[00:19:58] Oh, yeah.

[00:19:58] They gave us a check for $499.

[00:20:01] Actually, they just sent us a bunch of snickerdoodles.

[00:20:04] We got to eat them all.

[00:20:06] Well, Nate's in.

[00:20:07] I'll eat them all.

[00:20:08] Oh, well, this has been another episode of Go Flicks Yourself.

[00:20:10] Thanks, Teresa, for being here.

[00:20:12] No, these flips, snickerdoodles, I think they are everywhere, but specifically, I found

[00:20:15] these at Dollar Tree, and that's where they've been popping up the most, I think.

[00:20:18] So check Dollar Tree's seasonal candy section.

[00:20:20] You should have found them.

[00:20:20] Do you go to Dollar Tree often?

[00:20:21] I go to Dollar Tree when I see that there's a specific thing there that is popping up there more

[00:20:25] frequently than other stores.

[00:20:26] How do you find this out?

[00:20:26] Do you check the, like...

[00:20:28] Snack influencers?

[00:20:29] Oh, my gosh.

[00:20:30] I get press releases.

[00:20:31] Oh, so my former boss, you need to follow him, because he does the same...

[00:20:36] I'll have to look it up.

[00:20:37] Jim.

[00:20:39] Neil Robison.

[00:20:40] Does he have, like, a special handle or something on his name?

[00:20:42] Neil Robison.

[00:20:43] He does, and I will find it out for you.

[00:20:44] That's Robitusson.

[00:20:45] Is it Snack-O-Later?

[00:20:48] Oh, sure.

[00:20:48] Is that a big one in the industry?

[00:20:50] It's a big one.

[00:20:51] I don't think it's that big.

[00:20:52] Where are you at in the industry?

[00:20:53] I don't think it's that big.

[00:20:54] Where are you, Brad?

[00:20:55] I'm on the lower tier, because right now I only have just over 20,000 followers.

[00:20:59] So it's not huge, but it's okay.

[00:21:01] That's embarrassing for us.

[00:21:02] It might be Snack-O-Later.

[00:21:03] We have, like, 17 followers.

[00:21:05] Oh, man.

[00:21:05] I know that one.

[00:21:07] I don't know.

[00:21:07] We'll have to look.

[00:21:08] You have 20,000 followers on Look at Brad's Junk?

[00:21:10] That's amazing.

[00:21:11] Okay, but, like, what are the big ones?

[00:21:13] The Snack-O-Later.

[00:21:15] Anybody got a million?

[00:21:16] As a snack influencer.

[00:21:18] Snack-O-Later has, like, hundreds of thousands.

[00:21:20] Okay.

[00:21:21] Marky Devo is another big one, and he gets, like, exclusive stuff, because he, like, seeks

[00:21:25] out and, like, talks to, like, people at Starbucks.

[00:21:27] So they're, like, aggressively trying to build the brand.

[00:21:29] Yeah.

[00:21:30] He's always trying to get exclusive stuff before it's officially announced and everything.

[00:21:34] So he puts in the legwork.

[00:21:35] Is there a snack conference?

[00:21:37] There is, actually, and I've been to it twice now.

[00:21:39] It's called the Sweets.

[00:21:40] There's several, but the main one is the Sweets and Snacks Expo, and it's been happening

[00:21:44] in Chicago for the longest time.

[00:21:45] Why not Confection Con?

[00:21:47] So now it's going to alternate between Indianapolis and Las Vegas.

[00:21:52] It was just an Indy this past year.

[00:21:53] It's going to be in Vegas.

[00:21:54] Are you going to go to the Vegas one?

[00:21:55] I don't think so, because it's just too expensive.

[00:21:57] I'm, like, I don't think I can afford to...

[00:21:59] Brad's Junk isn't making a lot of money these days.

[00:22:03] Tell me about it.

[00:22:05] That's what she said.

[00:22:07] I wish you would talk about it.

[00:22:09] I wish you would have just even in the conversation.

[00:22:13] Hey, could you mention it?

[00:22:14] Could you just talk about it?

[00:22:16] Talk about my junk, please.

[00:22:17] Could you please just talk about it?

[00:22:18] Why am I Irish?

[00:22:19] You're not Irish.

[00:22:20] Can you please talk about my junk?

[00:22:21] Please talk about it.

[00:22:22] Shashi Ronan, Brandon Gleeson, talk about my junk.

[00:22:25] Colin Farrell, talk about my junk.

[00:22:26] I would love it if they talked about my junk.

[00:22:27] That'd be amazing.

[00:22:28] Oh, my gosh.

[00:22:29] Paul Meskel, talk about my junk.

[00:22:31] All of them.

[00:22:31] I'll be...

[00:22:33] Teresa, what's the last movie you saw?

[00:22:35] Oh, still chopping away.

[00:22:36] Crunch, crunch, crunch, and munch.

[00:22:40] So, I've actually watched...

[00:22:41] Well, since I've been in La Porte...

[00:22:43] Well, I mean, I'm sure quite a few...

[00:22:44] The TV doesn't turn off, right?

[00:22:45] So, I've seen bits and pieces of different movies.

[00:22:48] Okay.

[00:22:49] We did watch Christmas with the Crinks.

[00:22:52] Of course.

[00:22:52] The other day.

[00:22:53] The classic.

[00:22:54] And that was just kind of on, but intentionally, we watched...

[00:23:00] Sean and I watched Just Friends, which I did not see.

[00:23:04] Ryan Reynolds?

[00:23:05] Yes.

[00:23:05] Nice.

[00:23:05] Which is a Christmas film.

[00:23:07] It is.

[00:23:08] I didn't know this.

[00:23:09] Have you seen it, Nate?

[00:23:10] I don't think so.

[00:23:11] You haven't seen Just Friends?

[00:23:12] This is two movies tonight that we've discussed.

[00:23:14] No, I've seen this.

[00:23:15] This is Chubby Ryan Reynolds.

[00:23:17] Yes.

[00:23:18] Amy Smart?

[00:23:18] Is it Amy Smart?

[00:23:19] Fat suit, Ryan Reynolds.

[00:23:20] Who's the blonde?

[00:23:21] Anna Faris.

[00:23:22] No, Amy Smart is...

[00:23:23] Well, Anna Faris is the one that comes and crashes.

[00:23:26] There's like two women.

[00:23:26] Yeah, the crazy...

[00:23:28] Yeah, she's the crazy one.

[00:23:29] I've seen this.

[00:23:29] I have never seen it, and it was hilarious.

[00:23:32] Yeah, it's pretty funny.

[00:23:32] Yeah.

[00:23:33] We don't watch movies very often.

[00:23:35] And before that, yeah, I think I just saw Oppenheimer like two months ago.

[00:23:42] Oppenheimer is...

[00:23:42] It's very good, though.

[00:23:43] I've heard good things.

[00:23:44] I've heard good things.

[00:23:45] Oh, shut up.

[00:23:45] You haven't seen it?

[00:23:46] He's seen it.

[00:23:47] No, it was great.

[00:23:48] When's the last time you think you went to the movies to see a movie?

[00:23:51] Oh, man.

[00:23:52] Has it been five years?

[00:23:54] So I actually go see ski movies and things like that at the theater.

[00:24:01] Is it because you live in Utah?

[00:24:03] Movies about skiing?

[00:24:04] Yeah, like ski films, like outdoor...

[00:24:07] Wait, I don't know...

[00:24:08] How many of those are there?

[00:24:08] Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

[00:24:09] You'd be surprised.

[00:24:10] So like every...

[00:24:11] What do you mean by ski films?

[00:24:12] Like they film professional athletes skiing.

[00:24:14] Oh, okay.

[00:24:15] And for two hours?

[00:24:16] And you watch that?

[00:24:17] They're closer to about 60, 70 minutes.

[00:24:20] And they play them in theaters?

[00:24:21] They play them in theaters.

[00:24:22] Are they like documentaries or are they just like sports clips?

[00:24:25] There's stories behind them.

[00:24:26] So they go to like six or seven different places around the world and they talk about

[00:24:30] the resort and it gets you hyped up for winter.

[00:24:33] So there's at least four or five of those every winter that come out.

[00:24:36] Wow.

[00:24:37] That was a thing.

[00:24:37] Warren Miller were the classic ones.

[00:24:40] So Warren Miller, when he was alive, made a ski film every year.

[00:24:43] Okay.

[00:24:44] And now there's a whole bunch of them.

[00:24:45] Huh.

[00:24:46] I didn't even know that was a thing.

[00:24:47] I had no idea.

[00:24:47] So we go to those.

[00:24:49] Wow.

[00:24:50] Around here we have sled films.

[00:24:52] No, we don't.

[00:24:53] Snowobiles.

[00:24:54] You've never seen sled films?

[00:24:55] What sled films?

[00:24:56] Hey, brother.

[00:24:56] Sled films is where they film people sledding and they...

[00:25:00] They go six or seven places around the world.

[00:25:02] Yeah, they edit the footage together.

[00:25:03] And Warren Sledder, when he was alive, used to do this once a year and everybody looked

[00:25:08] forward to it to get you prepared for the sledding season.

[00:25:10] Yeah.

[00:25:10] It's pretty exciting.

[00:25:11] Yeah.

[00:25:12] So we...

[00:25:12] And my...

[00:25:13] The town I live in, Utah has Bart the Bear.

[00:25:16] Bart the Bear was from there.

[00:25:17] Oh, okay.

[00:25:18] So they had a Bart the Bear festival, but unfortunately I didn't make it to those.

[00:25:22] So they had like all the films that Bart the Bear was in because Bart the Bear lived

[00:25:26] in town.

[00:25:27] Look at that.

[00:25:29] Yeah.

[00:25:29] So he was in like some of the...

[00:25:32] He was the Grizzly Bear in a handful of movies.

[00:25:34] It is the Christmas holiday.

[00:25:36] What is your all-time favorite Christmas film?

[00:25:38] Oh, man.

[00:25:39] Do you have one?

[00:25:39] I'm kind of a Scrooge.

[00:25:41] You're like, I don't like...

[00:25:43] I'm like...

[00:25:44] Nate just recoiled.

[00:25:45] It's okay.

[00:25:46] It's okay.

[00:25:48] So we typically watch...

[00:25:50] What usually happens is we'll watch National Lampoons.

[00:25:52] Okay.

[00:25:53] All right.

[00:25:53] Elf.

[00:25:54] Yeah.

[00:25:54] And then somewhere around midnight, I think, Bad Santa gets put on while Sean puts the tree

[00:26:00] up.

[00:26:01] Okay.

[00:26:01] And decorates the tree.

[00:26:03] I don't do any of that.

[00:26:04] Wait, wait.

[00:26:05] Somewhere around midnight, like on Christmas Eve?

[00:26:07] No, no, no, no.

[00:26:09] Probably...

[00:26:09] That's how much they hate Christmas.

[00:26:10] Well, we got to take the fucking picture.

[00:26:12] So put it up.

[00:26:13] Put the tree up.

[00:26:13] We'll take it down tomorrow.

[00:26:14] Probably like two weeks before.

[00:26:16] Okay.

[00:26:16] So you have a very short period where a tree is up.

[00:26:19] No, actually, so...

[00:26:21] We leave it up till March.

[00:26:22] So we do go out into the wilderness and cut it down.

[00:26:26] Nice.

[00:26:26] Okay.

[00:26:26] So we haven't done that yet.

[00:26:29] But last year, we stopped watering it the first week of January, and it didn't leave

[00:26:32] the house till mid-February.

[00:26:35] Damn.

[00:26:35] Okay.

[00:26:35] And it didn't lose any needles.

[00:26:38] It was still good.

[00:26:39] But you're not a big Christmas person?

[00:26:40] I'm not.

[00:26:41] No.

[00:26:41] The tree is Sean.

[00:26:42] I would be like, yeah, we don't need a tree.

[00:26:44] I like Sean.

[00:26:44] Tell Sean I like Sean.

[00:26:45] Yeah.

[00:26:46] And Nate's like, I like Sean.

[00:26:47] I'm on the fence about trees, but I like Sean.

[00:26:49] Sean's a great guy.

[00:26:50] So for Christmases, I watched part of that the other day, too.

[00:26:54] I think that's a fun one.

[00:26:55] I think it's fun.

[00:26:56] It's okay.

[00:26:56] Yeah.

[00:26:57] It's fun.

[00:26:57] Put a humbug over here, buddy.

[00:26:59] Like, it's fun.

[00:26:59] It's too obnoxious.

[00:27:01] You're obnoxious.

[00:27:01] It's too silly.

[00:27:02] Nope.

[00:27:03] Yeah.

[00:27:04] John Favreau.

[00:27:04] Have some fun.

[00:27:05] Have some fun in your life.

[00:27:06] It's too silly.

[00:27:07] Okay.

[00:27:08] Yeah.

[00:27:09] Too many Christmas movies are too broad for me.

[00:27:12] Wow.

[00:27:13] Yeah.

[00:27:14] It's disgusting.

[00:27:16] Too broad.

[00:27:17] I'm a humbug, man.

[00:27:18] But Jingle All the Way is the exception to the room.

[00:27:21] Jingle All the Way is awesome.

[00:27:22] Yeah.

[00:27:22] It's fine.

[00:27:23] So wait.

[00:27:23] You go to the theater to see ski movies, but what's the last real movie you saw in a theater?

[00:27:29] Does that same theater play movies?

[00:27:30] Oh.

[00:27:31] Wasn't there...

[00:27:32] Was there like a Star Wars that came out?

[00:27:34] In 2019?

[00:27:35] Yeah.

[00:27:35] In 2019?

[00:27:37] I saw that in a theater.

[00:27:38] What was Return of the Jedi?

[00:27:39] What was the last one?

[00:27:40] Rise of Skywalker.

[00:27:41] Yeah.

[00:27:41] When did that come out?

[00:27:42] I just said 2019.

[00:27:43] That was...

[00:27:44] Really?

[00:27:44] Was that long ago?

[00:27:44] Yeah.

[00:27:45] What about Eddie the Eagle?

[00:27:46] Man, time flies.

[00:27:47] Did you see Eddie the Eagle?

[00:27:47] Now you should.

[00:27:48] Not in a theater.

[00:27:49] That's a ski jumping movie.

[00:27:50] That's a ski jumping movie.

[00:27:51] I've seen Eddie the Eagle.

[00:27:52] That's a great movie.

[00:27:52] Yeah.

[00:27:52] It's a great movie.

[00:27:53] It's a very great movie.

[00:27:53] I still don't have Netflix.

[00:27:55] It's okay.

[00:27:56] I still have never had it.

[00:27:57] It's fine.

[00:27:58] But yeah.

[00:27:59] No, it's almost like it's wintertime.

[00:28:00] So the problem is I watched Yellowstone and we don't watch TV series either, but then

[00:28:06] it's like it takes us forever to just get through that.

[00:28:10] Yeah, but you're one of those active people that has a water bottle that keep with you

[00:28:14] and you stay hydrated.

[00:28:15] You work out.

[00:28:15] Oh, we gotta go scream today.

[00:28:16] I gotta build my own house.

[00:28:17] I don't have time to watch a movie.

[00:28:19] I'm too busy doing importance.

[00:28:20] I'm too busy doing stuff.

[00:28:21] Like actually living life.

[00:28:22] When football season ends, I'll probably watch some movies.

[00:28:24] Okay.

[00:28:25] Fair enough.

[00:28:25] So you watch football.

[00:28:26] Yeah.

[00:28:27] Yeah.

[00:28:27] College.

[00:28:28] I'm a Buckeye.

[00:28:29] So like I kind of watch that.

[00:28:31] But then NFL.

[00:28:32] Yeah.

[00:28:33] Football's usually on on the weekends.

[00:28:34] Imagine if you took all the time that you spend on football and invested in films.

[00:28:39] Bears had a hard game today.

[00:28:41] Brad is literally.

[00:28:42] So bad.

[00:28:42] Imagine if you'd sell that time and he just watched movies instead.

[00:28:46] Wouldn't that be better?

[00:28:46] She's like, no.

[00:28:47] We watch football.

[00:28:48] Imagine how much more culture you would absorb as opposed to like fucking head bashing and

[00:28:52] man hunting.

[00:28:53] See, Brad doesn't get this.

[00:28:54] I watch football.

[00:28:55] I'm season two against Notre Dame.

[00:28:56] Don't shit on something just because you don't like it.

[00:28:58] Oh, so you like watching men get concussions and have terrible head injuries for the rest

[00:29:02] of their life?

[00:29:03] We got a great guy over here who supports men losing their memories and destroying their

[00:29:06] He's still watching all those Tom Cruise movies even though he's directly responsible for

[00:29:10] a lot of horrible shit in the world?

[00:29:11] He's not giving people concussions every minute.

[00:29:14] He's telling them to not go to a psychiatrist.

[00:29:15] Yeah, he's saying don't go to the psychiatrist or mental health problems.

[00:29:18] Guess what?

[00:29:19] He knows way more because he learned from Xenu.

[00:29:22] You're being glint.

[00:29:24] But I also read.

[00:29:26] Yeah, see?

[00:29:27] So I read.

[00:29:27] She's a reader.

[00:29:28] I read.

[00:29:28] Oh, so you waste time elsewhere.

[00:29:31] All right, Teresa.

[00:29:33] What is a recent book that you enjoyed?

[00:29:35] So is it Frankenstein or is it Frankenstein's monster?

[00:29:38] I mean, what are we doing here?

[00:29:39] Did you enjoy any book recently?

[00:29:40] Oh, lots.

[00:29:40] Oh, I enjoy so many books.

[00:29:42] The problem is I can't remember the names of them.

[00:29:44] But my book club is rereading Lessons in Chemistry, which is not-

[00:29:51] It turned into an Apple TV Plus series, actually.

[00:29:52] Oh, yeah.

[00:29:53] That's right.

[00:29:54] I didn't watch it.

[00:29:54] Starring Brie Larson, Ben.

[00:29:56] That's a great book.

[00:29:56] I love Brie Larson.

[00:29:57] I know you do.

[00:29:57] That's why I pointed it out to you.

[00:29:58] We've got great chemistry.

[00:29:58] Yeah, I thought you'd be excited about it.

[00:30:00] I am.

[00:30:00] I'm very excited about it.

[00:30:01] I can see you in your pants that you are.

[00:30:03] No.

[00:30:05] Nate glanced for a second and is like, oh, no.

[00:30:08] If I have the choice-

[00:30:09] I see it.

[00:30:09] It's so much smaller than I thought.

[00:30:11] If I have the choice between reading a book or watching the movie, I'm almost always going

[00:30:15] to want to read the book.

[00:30:16] Well, the book is almost always better in the movie, but there is value in the art of

[00:30:21] school.

[00:30:21] Okay, you say that, Brad, but do you read every book before you watch the movie?

[00:30:24] I have never read a book.

[00:30:27] What do you mean?

[00:30:28] I've listened to a lot of them.

[00:30:29] And they count.

[00:30:30] Audiobooks count, Ben.

[00:30:31] Thank you.

[00:30:31] Yeah, they do.

[00:30:31] I think so.

[00:30:32] No, but you don't tell people that you read it, though.

[00:30:35] What do you say?

[00:30:36] It's just awkward.

[00:30:36] I listen to this book.

[00:30:38] Yeah, but he doesn't do that.

[00:30:38] He says, oh, I read this, and so you didn't fucking read anything.

[00:30:41] Well, there's a big difference, like Matthew McConaughey to say, I listened to Greenlights

[00:30:45] or I read Greenlights because it's Greenlights, right?

[00:30:49] His book.

[00:30:49] He read it, though, because he's the author and he reads it as the author.

[00:30:54] You have to listen to it.

[00:30:55] That's one you don't want to read.

[00:30:56] You want to listen to it.

[00:30:58] All right, all right, all right.

[00:30:59] It's so good.

[00:31:00] Thanks, Ben.

[00:31:01] What?

[00:31:02] I did a Matthew McConaughey?

[00:31:03] I know.

[00:31:03] We can't ever-

[00:31:03] It wasn't that great, though.

[00:31:05] It was like, all right, all right, all right.

[00:31:07] I mentioned Matthew McConaughey and not do that.

[00:31:09] But by the way-

[00:31:09] You act like I do it all the time.

[00:31:11] Every time Matthew McConaughey is brought up, you have to work it in.

[00:31:14] You have to work it in?

[00:31:16] Yeah, you do.

[00:31:17] What the fuck is wrong with you?

[00:31:19] You always force an all right, all right, all right, whenever anybody brings in Matthew

[00:31:22] McConaughey.

[00:31:23] Brad and I have been talking about this.

[00:31:25] Clearly.

[00:31:26] What kind of fucking vendetta do you have over here?

[00:31:30] It's really been annoying us.

[00:31:31] Nate, if he fucking does it tonight for the first-

[00:31:34] No, Nate.

[00:31:35] Nate.

[00:31:36] Agree with me.

[00:31:37] Hey, just agree with me.

[00:31:38] You'll shut the fuck up and just let me say it.

[00:31:40] Let me call him out.

[00:31:41] He always fucking hammers it in and it's not cool.

[00:31:44] He's a fucking edgelord and I fucking hate him.

[00:31:46] You're welcome, guys.

[00:31:47] The funny thing is I'm pretty sure the last episode we specifically talked about Matthew

[00:31:50] McConaughey and I don't think he made it all right.

[00:31:52] I don't think that I did.

[00:31:53] I don't think that I did at all.

[00:31:55] So he's backpedaling is the problem.

[00:31:57] Good God.

[00:31:58] He's falling back in his old ways.

[00:31:59] So, Nate, what's the last movie you saw?

[00:32:03] Oh, the last movie I saw.

[00:32:05] Christmas at Latitude 49.

[00:32:07] It has to be a Christmas movie.

[00:32:09] Dear Santa, it's me and I'm at the North Pole.

[00:32:12] Christmas on a ship.

[00:32:14] A merry fire department.

[00:32:16] Street 47, street sweeper of Christmas.

[00:32:21] Mark the Herald Angel.

[00:32:22] Oh, that would be a good one.

[00:32:24] Mark the Herald Angel.

[00:32:25] That's not bad.

[00:32:25] I would watch that for sure.

[00:32:28] But no, I saw a film.

[00:32:30] You guys are belittling me.

[00:32:31] It's fine.

[00:32:32] But I did see a film.

[00:32:33] Who belittled your taste in movies?

[00:32:35] Was Christmas Eve in Miller's Point.

[00:32:37] Oh, how is this?

[00:32:38] Because it looks like somebody's interested now.

[00:32:41] Oh.

[00:32:43] I was going to read you just walked right into that.

[00:32:45] I know.

[00:32:46] Oh.

[00:32:46] Oh, okay.

[00:32:48] How is that?

[00:32:49] It looked weird.

[00:32:53] It is.

[00:32:55] I didn't love it.

[00:32:56] I didn't love it.

[00:32:57] Is it funny?

[00:32:59] Because it seemed like it was kind of funny, but also wanted to be like an indie drama.

[00:33:04] It is.

[00:33:05] Yeah.

[00:33:05] And it's also just really heavy in nostalgia.

[00:33:08] Okay.

[00:33:09] And it's a really heavy like 80s Christmas.

[00:33:13] They want you to feel very family.

[00:33:18] But somebody clearly had a memory that they're holding on to that they want to bring out in this film.

[00:33:26] But I think the idea of the film still exists in their head more than it did on the film.

[00:33:32] Okay.

[00:33:32] Right?

[00:33:33] I didn't love this film.

[00:33:35] It just wasn't that great.

[00:33:36] Because I just didn't...

[00:33:37] I was at the end of the film like...

[00:33:40] That's it?

[00:33:41] Yeah.

[00:33:41] It just didn't seem great to me.

[00:33:44] Do you know what's interesting about this movie?

[00:33:46] Nothing.

[00:33:47] There's a lot of people in this film.

[00:33:49] By the way, a lot of people that I didn't know that have like famous parents or famous...

[00:33:53] Yeah.

[00:33:53] Martin Scorsese's daughter is in it.

[00:33:56] Steven Spielberg's son is in it.

[00:33:58] One of his sons.

[00:33:59] And I think there's one other famous filmmaker kid in this one as well.

[00:34:02] Colin Hanks' brother, Chet.

[00:34:04] Chet.

[00:34:06] Does the rap.

[00:34:07] Wouldn't that be so great if Chet Hanks was in it?

[00:34:10] Christmas, Christmas, Christmas rap.

[00:34:12] Christmas, Christmas, Christmas rap.

[00:34:14] Martin Scorsese's daughter has gotten some play because...

[00:34:17] That's Chet.

[00:34:17] ...because she keeps bringing her father onto TikTok, which has been hilarious.

[00:34:22] That's funny.

[00:34:24] But Michael Cera's in this as well.

[00:34:26] Yeah.

[00:34:26] So is Neil Hamburger.

[00:34:28] There's some...

[00:34:29] Hamburger?

[00:34:30] That's not a real...

[00:34:30] Neil Hamburger's awesome.

[00:34:31] Yeah.

[00:34:32] Ben knows Neil Hamburger.

[00:34:32] Yeah, he's comedian.

[00:34:33] Neil Hamburger performed at the Drop Comedy Club back when we owned it.

[00:34:36] He's an alt comic.

[00:34:36] He's hilarious.

[00:34:37] Oh my goodness.

[00:34:38] He's got a very thin pencil mustache and he matted down black hair and he just does a bit.

[00:34:44] Do you remember that...

[00:34:46] Neil Hamburger.

[00:34:47] I haven't heard that in a while.

[00:34:48] What was that film I gave you, Brad, last Christmas with Skylar?

[00:34:52] Oh, it was Feast of the Seven Fishes.

[00:34:54] Yeah.

[00:34:55] That was a better film than this one because it was nostalgic still.

[00:34:59] By the way, to clarify, Neil Hamburger is like a character.

[00:35:03] Greg Turkington is the guy who plays...

[00:35:04] Yeah, that's his stage.

[00:35:05] I don't know that anybody thought that his name was really Neil Hamburger.

[00:35:09] Well, that's why we were laughing.

[00:35:10] Oh.

[00:35:10] That's why we questioned it.

[00:35:13] I genuinely thought it was his real name.

[00:35:15] But there are some other funny people like that in the movie as well.

[00:35:19] It's a very odd ensemble cast.

[00:35:21] Dale Sausage is in it.

[00:35:22] So, again, Feast of the Seven Fishes is a film that came out a couple years ago that I gave Brad that I really like.

[00:35:31] That has a very nostalgic feeling as well.

[00:35:34] Yeah.

[00:35:34] Right?

[00:35:35] It's set in the 80s.

[00:35:37] But it's got a rom-com-y feel.

[00:35:40] But it has a...

[00:35:41] A point.

[00:35:42] A point.

[00:35:42] It does.

[00:35:44] It is taking you through a narrative from start to finish.

[00:35:47] This didn't have that consistent narrative.

[00:35:49] I got that feeling from the trailer because I was watching it.

[00:35:52] I was like, so what is this movie actually about?

[00:35:54] Because I feel like it's kind of just wandering all over the place.

[00:35:57] And I really wanted to like this.

[00:35:59] Yeah.

[00:35:59] And so I was a little disappointed.

[00:36:01] I saw another film that came out on Netflix this year.

[00:36:07] It's not great, but I still had fun.

[00:36:09] Oh, boy.

[00:36:12] It is a film called Lift.

[00:36:14] Did you guys see this one?

[00:36:15] Oh, no.

[00:36:16] This is the airline heist movie, right?

[00:36:18] With Kevin Hart?

[00:36:18] With Kevin Hart?

[00:36:19] Yeah.

[00:36:19] And it's that great.

[00:36:22] But I had fun.

[00:36:23] I mean, dude, let me just be very honest with you.

[00:36:25] No fucking shit.

[00:36:27] I don't want any judgment from you on this one.

[00:36:30] All right?

[00:36:30] Because...

[00:36:31] No, but like, I know these movies are bad that I go to watch.

[00:36:33] That's what I'm saying.

[00:36:34] But you went into this thing and it might be pretty good.

[00:36:36] No, I went...

[00:36:37] I hope I have fun.

[00:36:38] And I did.

[00:36:38] I had fun watching this.

[00:36:39] It's not a great film.

[00:36:41] But like, you know, Kevin Hart plays...

[00:36:43] Like, Kevin Hart is not playing Kevin Hart.

[00:36:45] Plays Joe Lift.

[00:36:45] Kevin Hart is not playing Kevin Hart.

[00:36:46] He's trying to play a serious kind of Kevin Hart, right?

[00:36:49] A cool Kevin Hart.

[00:36:50] Not a bombastic like, you know, Martin Lawrence Jr. Kevin Hart.

[00:36:55] Okay.

[00:36:57] And it's kind of a heist film.

[00:37:00] It is...

[00:37:01] It's fun.

[00:37:02] There was nothing wrong with this.

[00:37:03] I think it only has like a 35% Rotten Tomatoes.

[00:37:05] Compare it to another action...

[00:37:07] So it's better than Nutcrackers.

[00:37:08] It's called Lift?

[00:37:10] Yeah.

[00:37:10] Okay.

[00:37:11] Just Lift.

[00:37:11] I don't even know how to compare this.

[00:37:13] I was trying to get...

[00:37:15] Is it?

[00:37:15] It's a debate on that one, but I didn't.

[00:37:16] Like Red Notice?

[00:37:18] It's like Italian job a little bit.

[00:37:20] Hmm.

[00:37:21] You know?

[00:37:22] Yeah.

[00:37:23] By the way, there's nothing like...

[00:37:25] Oh, no.

[00:37:25] I thought you were saying Red One.

[00:37:27] I was like, by the way, there's nothing like Red One out there on the marketplace at all.

[00:37:31] You're right.

[00:37:31] It's one of a kind and truly spectacular.

[00:37:33] Seriously, it's insane.

[00:37:35] I haven't seen it either.

[00:37:35] No, you're right.

[00:37:36] All right.

[00:37:36] Speaking of, I went to the theater to see Red One.

[00:37:39] Oh!

[00:37:41] Did you really?

[00:37:41] I really did.

[00:37:42] Oh!

[00:37:42] Great segue, Ben.

[00:37:43] How was it?

[00:37:44] Good job, Ben.

[00:37:45] Oh.

[00:37:46] This film...

[00:37:47] Okay.

[00:37:48] Was it as stupid, as fun as we wanted it to be?

[00:37:50] I have thoughts.

[00:37:51] No, it's not.

[00:37:51] Is it Fast and the Furious bonkers good?

[00:37:53] It's not.

[00:37:53] And it bothers me because this film could have been so much better.

[00:37:56] So much better.

[00:37:57] Damn it.

[00:37:57] In what way?

[00:37:58] Okay.

[00:37:59] Casting should have been better.

[00:38:00] Okay.

[00:38:00] The casting was crap in this.

[00:38:03] They spent a lot of money to get Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans.

[00:38:09] The one great casting was J.K. Simmons as Santa Claus.

[00:38:12] He was freaking great.

[00:38:14] J.K. Simmons can't do anything wrong.

[00:38:15] No, he's amazing.

[00:38:17] But Dwayne Johnson is playing Dwayne Johnson.

[00:38:21] He's playing every character he's ever done.

[00:38:24] Sure.

[00:38:24] Tough guy.

[00:38:26] A little bit rough.

[00:38:27] Scorpion King.

[00:38:27] Yeah.

[00:38:29] The dumb bodybuilder from Pain and Gain.

[00:38:32] There are two cast.

[00:38:33] The guy from Southland Tales.

[00:38:35] Yeah.

[00:38:35] Two and a half cast members in this.

[00:38:37] Tooth Fairy.

[00:38:37] I genuinely disdain.

[00:38:39] You don't like Chris Evans?

[00:38:41] Chris Evans was a terrible casting for this.

[00:38:43] Oh.

[00:38:44] Terrible.

[00:38:45] And he's doing this Boston accent.

[00:38:49] Well, he's from Boston.

[00:38:50] I know.

[00:38:51] Yeah.

[00:38:52] So he's just talking in his normal voice.

[00:38:55] And you're like, fuck this guy.

[00:38:56] No.

[00:38:56] I don't like any of it.

[00:38:58] You know who else I don't like?

[00:38:59] Fucking Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

[00:39:01] They got these stupid fucking accents.

[00:39:03] Okay.

[00:39:03] So if Matt Damon does an exaggerated Boston accent, I'd be like, Matt Damon, you don't do that anymore.

[00:39:09] That's not your accent.

[00:39:10] You don't do that anymore.

[00:39:12] And honestly, I'm pretty sure that they play Boston characters kind of a lot still.

[00:39:17] Yeah.

[00:39:18] Chris Evans shouldn't.

[00:39:20] Why?

[00:39:21] Jesus.

[00:39:22] He's not great in this.

[00:39:22] You are just holding him to test.

[00:39:24] And I love Chris Evans.

[00:39:25] I genuinely like Chris Evans.

[00:39:26] It doesn't sound like it.

[00:39:27] No.

[00:39:27] It doesn't sound like it.

[00:39:28] But he's not great in this.

[00:39:30] So he plays this slimy.

[00:39:31] Hey, it's me.

[00:39:32] Fucking Captain America.

[00:39:32] What are we doing over here?

[00:39:33] He plays the, you know.

[00:39:35] That was New York.

[00:39:36] That's more than New York.

[00:39:36] The Vince Vaughn of Fred Claus, right?

[00:39:38] The slimy.

[00:39:41] He's a thief.

[00:39:42] Yeah.

[00:39:42] He's a thief.

[00:39:43] Hey, let me park your car.

[00:39:45] I'm having you at him.

[00:39:45] Chris Evans.

[00:39:46] He owes people money.

[00:39:48] Is that better?

[00:39:48] Come on.

[00:39:48] I'll get it to you.

[00:39:49] You guys aren't good at this.

[00:39:50] Stop.

[00:39:52] I'm not sure.

[00:39:52] Yeah.

[00:39:53] You're both doing New York mobster accents.

[00:39:58] I don't know why I can't get it in my head now.

[00:39:59] I'm not sure.

[00:40:00] I'm like, hey, give me some Dunkin' Dunkin' Donuts over here.

[00:40:03] I love going downtown Hartford, Connecticut and having a good time.

[00:40:08] It's me, Chris Evans.

[00:40:10] Is this changing as a ghost?

[00:40:13] Bostonian local boy native to the Boston Plains.

[00:40:17] All right.

[00:40:18] Go Sox.

[00:40:19] I hate this.

[00:40:21] You know who my favorite hockey team is?

[00:40:23] The Boston Bruins.

[00:40:24] Hey, hey, hey.

[00:40:25] Judgey McChesherson, you do a Boston Bruins.

[00:40:27] Hey, hey.

[00:40:27] Forget it.

[00:40:27] I can't do it well.

[00:40:28] Forget about it.

[00:40:29] I'm not going to try it.

[00:40:29] Then we do it better than you.

[00:40:30] That's a great Boston accent.

[00:40:32] Brought to you by Ben and Nate.

[00:40:33] The other one that was terrible in this is Kiernan Shipka.

[00:40:36] Oh, really?

[00:40:38] Yeah.

[00:40:39] Who is she in this?

[00:40:40] She's the main villain.

[00:40:41] Oh, so they must not have showcased her at all in the trailers then.

[00:40:45] Spoiler alert.

[00:40:46] Jacqueline Frost.

[00:40:47] Grilla.

[00:40:48] That's made up.

[00:40:49] Nope.

[00:40:50] Well.

[00:40:50] No, so this is the fun thing.

[00:40:52] They bring in all these real mythological Christmas time creatures.

[00:40:55] Yeah, like Krampus and stuff.

[00:40:56] Yeah, Krampus.

[00:40:57] Grilla is a Christmas witch in legend and mythology.

[00:41:01] And so that's fun.

[00:41:02] It's fun that they bring this character in there.

[00:41:06] But she's not good in this.

[00:41:08] Oh.

[00:41:09] So Dwayne Johnson is not good in this.

[00:41:11] Chris Evans isn't good in this.

[00:41:13] She's not good in this.

[00:41:14] I'm not sure if Chris Evans isn't good.

[00:41:16] I just think that you don't like a Boston accent.

[00:41:18] No.

[00:41:18] Chris Evans isn't good in this.

[00:41:19] And the dialogue is not great in this either.

[00:41:21] And so what I say is good is the fun concept of this film.

[00:41:26] How is Garcia the polar bear?

[00:41:28] He's fun.

[00:41:28] He is fun.

[00:41:29] Who voices him?

[00:41:30] Is it Jeremy Renner?

[00:41:32] No.

[00:41:33] Because it sounded like Jeremy Renner in the trailer.

[00:41:35] And I was hoping it was Jeremy Renner.

[00:41:36] No, it's Rinaldo Faber.

[00:41:37] Why would you ever hope that a voice casting is Jeremy Renner?

[00:41:40] It sounded fun.

[00:41:42] It's just Jeremy Renner not known for being a voice actor.

[00:41:45] Oh, no.

[00:41:45] He is versatile.

[00:41:47] Nick Kroll.

[00:41:47] Okay.

[00:41:48] No, he is not.

[00:41:49] He has his own app.

[00:41:51] He is versatile.

[00:41:51] That doesn't mean he's versatile.

[00:41:52] You didn't play on it very much.

[00:41:54] You were on the app?

[00:41:55] No, it was on the app.

[00:41:56] I was creating.

[00:41:58] A moderator.

[00:41:58] Was it called Renner Renner?

[00:42:01] No.

[00:42:01] What was it called?

[00:42:02] Jeremy Renner's app.

[00:42:04] That's not fucking boring.

[00:42:06] I really hope that wasn't.

[00:42:08] Hey, guys.

[00:42:10] Here's my Jeremy.

[00:42:11] Hey, guys.

[00:42:12] It's me, Jeremy Renner.

[00:42:13] And if you download the app, it's called the Jeremy Renner app.

[00:42:16] And you can follow all of me and my latest releases on movies that I'm going to be in,

[00:42:22] as well as interviews.

[00:42:23] He's awesome.

[00:42:24] Yeah, he did music.

[00:42:24] I also do music.

[00:42:26] And anyway, this has been Jeremy Renner.

[00:42:28] Yeah.

[00:42:30] He's so boring.

[00:42:30] That's what we had him do.

[00:42:31] He's so boring.

[00:42:32] You don't like Jeremy Renner?

[00:42:33] But he got ran over by a snowcat.

[00:42:35] That's the most interesting thing that ever happened to him.

[00:42:37] And it's not even close.

[00:42:40] Hey, I play the guy that shoots arrows.

[00:42:42] Speaking of, I kind of like the Hawkeye series.

[00:42:45] I just think he's not a great actor.

[00:42:48] So I don't think he's the most versatile actor, but I think he's good in a very specific way.

[00:42:52] Exactly.

[00:42:53] I think he got very, very famous for The Hurt Locker and like that.

[00:42:56] Have you seen Wind River?

[00:42:57] Yes.

[00:42:57] Oh, Wind River.

[00:42:58] And honestly, he plays the same character.

[00:43:00] But he's great in it.

[00:43:01] It's just there's not a lot of much to do there.

[00:43:03] I mean, he's not giving a performance.

[00:43:05] He's just kind of stoic.

[00:43:07] I think he does fine as...

[00:43:11] He's just boring.

[00:43:12] You don't like it?

[00:43:13] He's just boring.

[00:43:14] I think he's fine as a Hawkeye.

[00:43:17] The series is better than his performances in the movies.

[00:43:20] Well, it's because they don't give him a lot to do in the movies.

[00:43:22] Yeah, because why would you?

[00:43:23] He's boring.

[00:43:24] Wow.

[00:43:24] He's mean.

[00:43:25] The final complaint about the final actor that's not great.

[00:43:28] Wait, are we still talking about Red One?

[00:43:30] Yep.

[00:43:31] And here's why I don't complain about this actress too much.

[00:43:36] Because I don't know if she was ever a good actress.

[00:43:38] Like, Kieran and Shipka has been good.

[00:43:40] Yeah.

[00:43:40] I've seen her in good stuff.

[00:43:42] Chris Evans is a great actor.

[00:43:44] Yeah.

[00:43:44] Love him.

[00:43:46] I don't know if Lucy Liu's ever been good in anything.

[00:43:48] Ballistics X vs. Sever, she was top notch.

[00:43:51] She was pretty good on the...

[00:43:52] Did you ever watch that series Elementary?

[00:43:54] No.

[00:43:55] That's actually really good.

[00:43:57] So she can't act.

[00:43:58] Yeah.

[00:43:58] I thought she was good on it.

[00:43:59] She wasn't like a revelation or like a major thing, but she was solid.

[00:44:02] So the problem then is Jake Kasdan.

[00:44:04] He didn't write a good script then.

[00:44:05] Because I will say this.

[00:44:07] The special effects are a lot of fun in this.

[00:44:10] There's...

[00:44:11] The plot's not terrible.

[00:44:12] Yeah.

[00:44:14] The world they're creating is fun.

[00:44:16] You've got actors kind of just walking through bad script.

[00:44:19] Exactly.

[00:44:20] And so they're not good enough...

[00:44:23] To elevate it.

[00:44:24] And it's like Chris Evans doing, you know, like Dwayne Johnson, right?

[00:44:29] Like, you know how Dwayne Johnson can't do more than six words in a line?

[00:44:33] Part of me wonders if it's the same problem that Baywatch had, where you have Zac Efron

[00:44:38] and Dwayne Johnson...

[00:44:39] Who are not comedians.

[00:44:40] Yeah.

[00:44:40] But they want them both to be funny in the same way, but neither of them really has the

[00:44:44] comedic chops to help carry the other one.

[00:44:46] Yep.

[00:44:47] Because Chris Evans can be funny, and Dwayne Johnson can be funny, but they can't carry

[00:44:51] a comedy on their own.

[00:44:52] And if you want to do a tag team like that, one of them needs to be a seasoned comedian.

[00:44:56] So their chemistry was not great.

[00:44:57] You're absolutely right.

[00:44:59] They needed a comedian in this role.

[00:45:01] They needed somebody funny in this role.

[00:45:03] I think Ryan Reynolds passed, and that's why Chris Evans had to do it.

[00:45:06] No.

[00:45:06] So there's a scene, a very specific scene, where Nick Kroll comes on.

[00:45:11] And Nick Kroll plays this kind of slimy character and everything.

[00:45:16] And when he's on, he chews up the scenery.

[00:45:19] Why?

[00:45:19] Because he's funny.

[00:45:20] Yeah.

[00:45:20] Right?

[00:45:20] And so that's what I'm saying.

[00:45:22] So he didn't...

[00:45:23] It's not like the dialogue magically gets better when Nick Kroll's there.

[00:45:26] Right.

[00:45:26] He's just good at doing comedy stuff.

[00:45:29] Yeah.

[00:45:29] And so I think you're absolutely right.

[00:45:32] That's why I go back to the casting.

[00:45:33] If this was casted better, it would have been a better film.

[00:45:37] Yeah.

[00:45:37] So the opposite can be true as well, though, because a movie that's bad, like Sherlock Holmes,

[00:45:43] right, that has two comedians in it, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, who are good comedians.

[00:45:49] Holmes and Watson.

[00:45:50] Sorry, Holmes and Watson.

[00:45:51] Listen, it works in Talladega Nights to have all these comedians running the show.

[00:45:57] But sometimes when you've just got two, it doesn't work for writers.

[00:46:01] And I think a lot of movies are way better off when there's a straight man and a comedian,

[00:46:06] right?

[00:46:06] Yeah, of course.

[00:46:06] It just works that way.

[00:46:07] Yeah.

[00:46:08] Yeah.

[00:46:08] So the chemistry needs, it just was not there, which is disappointing because, like I said,

[00:46:12] they created a good world.

[00:46:14] Special effects are great.

[00:46:15] There's some really good special effects.

[00:46:19] J.K.

[00:46:19] Simmons is fantastic as Santa.

[00:46:21] I'm not kidding you.

[00:46:22] He's strong Santa.

[00:46:23] He's like, he's Jack Santa.

[00:46:24] But he brings some heart to the role.

[00:46:27] He acts well.

[00:46:28] In the role of Jack Santa.

[00:46:30] He's not the problem here.

[00:46:31] It's just, there's just a lot of acting issues.

[00:46:34] Biceps so big, they'll give you whiplash.

[00:46:36] And again, it's not so much the acting issues.

[00:46:38] Will you watch it every year?

[00:46:39] No.

[00:46:40] Wow.

[00:46:40] That's harsh coming from, who watches the shittiest movie ever.

[00:46:43] I was going to say, it doesn't make the 72 movie rotation.

[00:46:47] Yeah.

[00:46:47] Do you start like November 1st?

[00:46:50] It starts like October 15th.

[00:46:52] I mean, I have watched Christmas movies in July.

[00:46:56] I beg him.

[00:46:56] It's Christmas in July.

[00:46:57] I beg him to not start until at least November 1st.

[00:47:00] Because I love Halloween so much.

[00:47:01] Please don't ruin Halloween by just getting your,

[00:47:03] don't be Target and get your fucking shit out on the shelves.

[00:47:06] They give me scary movies in October.

[00:47:07] So I usually watch scary movies in October.

[00:47:09] And then you wash them down with a Christmas movie.

[00:47:11] Wait.

[00:47:11] No, I thought you didn't like scary movies.

[00:47:13] We force him to watch them.

[00:47:14] We force him.

[00:47:16] He watches fucking Alien with the lights on in the middle of the day

[00:47:19] from behind the couch.

[00:47:21] On the front porch.

[00:47:21] Yeah, exactly.

[00:47:22] With a cup of holy water.

[00:47:26] It's true.

[00:47:27] It's true.

[00:47:27] And I don't make any apologies.

[00:47:29] I am who I am.

[00:47:31] All right.

[00:47:32] Brady Bear, what did you watch?

[00:47:34] Oh, I've seen some films.

[00:47:37] By the way, we haven't even had a week since we filmed our last episode.

[00:47:40] Isn't that supposed to be the last?

[00:47:41] What's the last film?

[00:47:42] Well, yeah.

[00:47:43] Thank you.

[00:47:44] Thank you, Teresa.

[00:47:45] He recaps his fucking entire.

[00:47:47] Here's the Diary of Brad Omen.

[00:47:49] I saw.

[00:47:50] What the fuck did Nate just do?

[00:47:51] I did say more than one.

[00:47:53] You know what I did, though?

[00:47:53] I had fun.

[00:47:55] Yeah, Brad's just going to be like, well, I watched a black and white film about the Holocaust

[00:47:59] called Station Zero.

[00:48:00] One of the first things I liked about it.

[00:48:02] First of all, it wasn't black and white.

[00:48:04] It was in color.

[00:48:06] No, I didn't watch a Holocaust movie this time.

[00:48:08] But if I did, it would be because I have respect history.

[00:48:10] There's a lot of them.

[00:48:11] I mean, there's a shortage of them.

[00:48:13] Trust me, Ben knows.

[00:48:15] What does that mean?

[00:48:15] You know what it means.

[00:48:16] What does that mean?

[00:48:18] Read between the lines.

[00:48:18] It means he can't come up with a good joke.

[00:48:21] I like her so much.

[00:48:23] No, the joke is that you're a Nazi.

[00:48:28] No, I watched...

[00:48:30] Did I talk about the substance?

[00:48:32] Yeah.

[00:48:32] Okay.

[00:48:33] Let me start over.

[00:48:33] Because we just recorded on Wednesday, and now it is Sunday.

[00:48:37] Hold on.

[00:48:37] He's showing you something stupid.

[00:48:39] Your dog?

[00:48:41] Oh.

[00:48:43] Oh, is it a dog?

[00:48:45] Wansoto just signed for $785 million.

[00:48:47] That's for the other podcast.

[00:48:48] We haven't even talked about Wansoto.

[00:48:49] Put this in time code.

[00:48:50] We have another podcast called The 10 to 1.

[00:48:52] Please put this in the time code.

[00:48:54] Well, I was going to show him while you were talking.

[00:48:58] Please put this in the time code.

[00:48:58] I was going to show him while you were talking.

[00:48:59] But you interrupted.

[00:49:01] This is your fault.

[00:49:01] Please put this in time code.

[00:49:04] You have to cross-reference your podcast, or people won't know about the other one.

[00:49:08] Teresa, come on every episode.

[00:49:09] You can be a permanent host.

[00:49:11] Actually, Brad, you don't need to come on.

[00:49:13] Good luck having any listeners after this.

[00:49:14] Well, I mean, I'm not probably pretty good for this one, because I don't watch movies.

[00:49:18] Can't wait to hear Teresa talk about all the ski films she saw next week.

[00:49:22] And by the way, the last movie I did see in a theater was Top Gun.

[00:49:26] Maverick?

[00:49:27] No.

[00:49:28] 1986, Top Gun.

[00:49:30] So it has been a few years.

[00:49:31] That's fair enough.

[00:49:32] Yes.

[00:49:32] Yes.

[00:49:34] I watched a movie called The Last Showgirl.

[00:49:36] Have you guys heard of this?

[00:49:37] No.

[00:49:38] I don't.

[00:49:39] Okay.

[00:49:40] He was going to pretend for a second, and he decided not.

[00:49:43] No.

[00:49:43] So this is a movie that's been on the festival circuit for a little while, and it's coming

[00:49:47] around for award season.

[00:49:48] Of course.

[00:49:49] Pamela Anderson stars in this, actually.

[00:49:50] And it's kind of her own version of the wrestler, but meets Sunset Boulevard in a way.

[00:49:58] She plays this aging showgirl who works in Vegas, the classic kind of showgirl with the

[00:50:03] big feather boa things and the razzle-dazzle gear and all that stuff.

[00:50:07] And she's part of this showgirl troupe.

[00:50:09] And they put on shows all the time.

[00:50:12] But it's kind of a thing that is starting to walk its way out of Vegas.

[00:50:17] No one really goes to them anymore.

[00:50:18] And so the show that she's in is about to shut down.

[00:50:22] And it kind of is a really sad thing for her because it's really what she has and what

[00:50:27] she's dedicated her life to.

[00:50:28] And it's just a really vulnerable, tragic performance from her.

[00:50:33] She wears...

[00:50:34] There's a lot of scenes where she's not in a full thing of makeup.

[00:50:37] She's just showing herself and just being an aging actress.

[00:50:42] And the movie itself is really about being an aging woman and the difficulties that come

[00:50:46] with that, especially if you want that kind of career as a dancer and whatnot.

[00:50:50] And she's phenomenal in it.

[00:50:52] It's a really good performance for her, and it's a great movie for her to get at this

[00:50:56] stage in her career.

[00:50:58] Sure.

[00:50:58] But yeah, it's a really good movie.

[00:51:00] It's funny hearing there Dave Batiste is in it.

[00:51:02] Kiernan Shipka is in it, actually, as well.

[00:51:05] Is she decent?

[00:51:06] Yeah, she is.

[00:51:08] She plays the same character, actually.

[00:51:10] It's hard to be a woman.

[00:51:12] Grumblyar?

[00:51:13] Whatever.

[00:51:13] She plays Grindelir.

[00:51:14] Yeah.

[00:51:15] Grilla.

[00:51:15] Grilla, the oldest showgirl ever.

[00:51:17] Yeah.

[00:51:18] But no, The Last Showgirl is very good.

[00:51:20] It should be coming out in theaters here pretty shortly.

[00:51:23] I have heard of that one.

[00:51:25] Probably limited release first, and then it'll go wide release.

[00:51:27] But it's very good.

[00:51:28] See, Teresa, out of all of us, has heard of it.

[00:51:29] Well, because Sundance.

[00:51:32] Oh, yeah.

[00:51:32] I live at Sundance.

[00:51:34] There you go.

[00:51:35] Yes.

[00:51:35] I also watched another movie that is getting some awards season attention likely.

[00:51:40] It's called A Different Man, stars Sebastian Stan.

[00:51:44] And he plays this guy who has-

[00:51:47] A plan.

[00:51:47] A plan.

[00:51:49] As a man.

[00:51:50] Eat spam.

[00:51:53] No, he plays this guy who has-

[00:51:55] I'm looking up what the name of the-

[00:51:57] Neurofibromatosis.

[00:51:59] Neurofibromatosis.

[00:51:59] Type 1.

[00:52:00] It's a genetic condition that causes-

[00:52:02] Not type 2, Ben.

[00:52:02] It causes-

[00:52:05] You fucking idiot.

[00:52:07] I'm sorry, man.

[00:52:08] I know what you were thinking.

[00:52:09] A genetic condition that causes tumors to grow on your face.

[00:52:12] So your face looks like it's very like-

[00:52:14] It's like the elephant man.

[00:52:15] Yes.

[00:52:16] Very much like that.

[00:52:17] Yeah.

[00:52:17] And so he plays somebody who has that.

[00:52:19] And then he gets this experimental treatment that makes all of it gradually go away.

[00:52:26] And so then he has a normal face that looks like Sebastian Stan.

[00:52:31] And so-

[00:52:32] So very handsome.

[00:52:32] Yes.

[00:52:33] And so then he starts to live a very different kind of life.

[00:52:37] And he gets-

[00:52:38] But there's an interesting turn that it takes because of how he lives his life and who he

[00:52:45] is and how it seemingly changes him but then maybe really doesn't.

[00:52:50] And so maybe the idea is that that part of his life wasn't what was holding him back.

[00:52:56] You know, maybe he was always kind of like holding himself back in a way.

[00:53:00] Sebastian Stan is great in this.

[00:53:02] There's also an actor in it who actually has this disease who plays a character who comes

[00:53:08] and adds another wrinkle to it.

[00:53:09] Man, I was going to say, well, they couldn't find anybody that's an actor that has this disease?

[00:53:13] Well, no.

[00:53:14] Wow.

[00:53:14] Adam Pearson.

[00:53:15] Wow, Hollywood.

[00:53:15] Way to go.

[00:53:16] Yeah, Adam Pearson.

[00:53:17] Really screwed that up.

[00:53:18] And he has an interesting role because he kind of turns into a little bit of a rival for

[00:53:23] Sebastian Stan in a way.

[00:53:25] And it's really interesting to see how the story unfolds and what the character does.

[00:53:28] But it's a really compelling movie.

[00:53:30] Does he get the treatment?

[00:53:31] No.

[00:53:35] And he's also very confident and successful.

[00:53:39] How could he not be with a name like that?

[00:53:42] What is his name?

[00:53:43] I don't remember.

[00:53:44] Yeah, good job.

[00:53:45] You're going to fucking ask him.

[00:53:46] But no, it's a really good movie.

[00:53:49] Sebastian Stan, very impressive because I haven't seen a ton of stuff outside of him doing Avengers

[00:53:54] and things like that.

[00:53:56] So it's a good performance for him.

[00:53:57] He's got, did you see, he's got one of like Trump, doesn't he?

[00:54:01] So actually, that's the next one that I'm going to talk about because I also watched that.

[00:54:05] The Apprentice is a movie that is about young Donald Trump.

[00:54:08] It's basically his origin story.

[00:54:11] Sebastian Stan is also very good in this.

[00:54:14] He's got the mannerisms and right down to his facial expressions.

[00:54:18] He does the thing where he juts his lips out when he talks like this.

[00:54:23] And you see it in his face.

[00:54:24] He's always talking like this.

[00:54:26] So he does a Boston accent?

[00:54:28] Does a full-on Boston accent.

[00:54:31] He's great in this movie.

[00:54:33] And what I liked about it is it's not like an in-your-face kind of like, of course he's going to be exactly who you think he is.

[00:54:39] Right.

[00:54:40] But it's measured.

[00:54:41] It's a little more nuanced.

[00:54:43] There's definitely stuff that teases things that you know of what he becomes and stuff for his future in politics and things like that.

[00:54:52] But the most interesting thing about it is how it portrays why he became who he was.

[00:54:58] And the movie ties it all to Roy Cohn, who is an attorney who had a hand in basically providing the full philosophy of who Donald Trump would become.

[00:55:08] Stuff that he would outline in The Art of the Deal.

[00:55:10] For listeners that don't know, Roy Cohn is a terrible person.

[00:55:15] Yes.

[00:55:16] And you see that.

[00:55:17] And Jeremy Strong plays him impeccably in this movie.

[00:55:21] He makes him out to be this fucking prick vampire who like, he's just the worst fucking person.

[00:55:28] Like a corrupt lawyer teaches Donald Trump all the wrong things.

[00:55:31] And it's not as if Donald Trump was like a great person before that because like the stuff that he learned from his father and like the segregation and like their, you know, residences and the apartments and stuff like that.

[00:55:41] But Roy Cohn really turns him into a much worse version.

[00:55:45] And you see the steps he takes and like the lessons he learns to become the Donald Trump that, you know, everyone knows and hates.

[00:55:53] But yeah.

[00:55:54] Well, I mean, 50% of Americans don't feel that way.

[00:55:56] But no, no, it's less than 50%.

[00:55:58] Make sure that's on the record.

[00:56:00] It's probably like 65% of people just think he's the savior.

[00:56:04] Maria Bakalova.

[00:56:05] In my church, that's how it is anyway.

[00:56:07] Maria Bakalova is also in this.

[00:56:08] She played Borat's daughter in the Borat sequel.

[00:56:10] And she plays Ivana Trump in this one.

[00:56:12] And she's also very good in it.

[00:56:14] But yeah, this is.

[00:56:15] How could you not be with a name like that?

[00:56:17] I was.

[00:56:18] Yeah, I was expecting this to be a little bit more lacking subtlety.

[00:56:24] But I was.

[00:56:24] That's what I was wondering.

[00:56:25] Yeah.

[00:56:25] Because this film could really go that way.

[00:56:27] Yeah.

[00:56:27] No, but I was impressed with how good it was and how Sebastian Stan plays it.

[00:56:32] Because it's more of an understated performance.

[00:56:34] Like a measured.

[00:56:34] Yeah.

[00:56:35] And it's.

[00:56:36] So, yeah, it's definitely worth watching.

[00:56:37] I was impressed by it.

[00:56:39] And then.

[00:56:40] By the way, we did.

[00:56:41] We recorded three days ago.

[00:56:42] So, you know, the last three days he's seen all these movies.

[00:56:44] I can't believe you guys don't use like a timer.

[00:56:47] I was pet sitting.

[00:56:48] Thank you, Teresa.

[00:56:49] Thank you.

[00:56:49] I was pet sitting and this is my job.

[00:56:51] Hey, Teresa.

[00:56:52] I'm going to.

[00:56:52] I'm going to implement that the next episode.

[00:56:54] Yeah.

[00:56:54] We're going to.

[00:56:55] You have five minutes.

[00:56:56] Hey, you know what I'm going to implement?

[00:56:57] No more fucking Christmas movies.

[00:56:59] Oh, no.

[00:56:59] That's just mean.

[00:57:00] Yeah.

[00:57:01] This is the season.

[00:57:01] Why would you do that?

[00:57:02] What do you think about that flannel boy?

[00:57:04] That's so mean.

[00:57:05] And now you're just saying what he's wearing.

[00:57:06] Yeah.

[00:57:06] You're in your fucking flannel.

[00:57:07] That's not even an insult.

[00:57:08] Flannel shirt and your blue jeans and your warm socks.

[00:57:11] What?

[00:57:11] I mean, he looks very comfortable.

[00:57:12] Your nicely coiffed hair.

[00:57:14] Yeah.

[00:57:14] These are turning into compliments.

[00:57:16] Now you're starting to compliment.

[00:57:17] Your handsome face and your generous spirit.

[00:57:21] What?

[00:57:21] This took a turn.

[00:57:23] You bend in your camel toe gym shorts.

[00:57:25] Now that's very mean.

[00:57:28] And now you're probably really self-conscious.

[00:57:30] No.

[00:57:31] No.

[00:57:31] The thing is, I'm not.

[00:57:32] Tickle, tickle.

[00:57:33] Tickle, tickle.

[00:57:34] Don't tickle.

[00:57:35] Now I am.

[00:57:36] Don't do the upside down octopus.

[00:57:38] No, no.

[00:57:38] I don't like it.

[00:57:39] Yeah, get him.

[00:57:40] Two more movies.

[00:57:42] Oh, my God.

[00:57:43] What?

[00:57:45] Giggles over here.

[00:57:46] No, these movies are great.

[00:57:47] I watched a movie called The Order.

[00:57:49] Have you heard of this one?

[00:57:51] No.

[00:57:52] No.

[00:57:53] This is a true.

[00:57:55] By the way, I love Teresa going, no.

[00:57:58] She's heard of more of these movies than you guys.

[00:57:59] I have heard a couple of them.

[00:58:01] Yeah.

[00:58:02] So The Order is a new thriller based on a true story about true events that happened in 1984

[00:58:06] about the FBI investigating this militia that was rising up out of an Aryan nation community.

[00:58:14] Oh, is that what you said?

[00:58:14] Me?

[00:58:16] You've seen this one, Ben?

[00:58:17] Ben.

[00:58:17] Specifically Ben.

[00:58:18] Ben, you remember this.

[00:58:20] Jude Law is in this.

[00:58:21] He plays a grizzled FBI agent, and he's so fucking good in this movie.

[00:58:25] Nicholas Holt is in this as the leader of this new Aryan.

[00:58:30] How is he?

[00:58:31] He's phenomenal, too.

[00:58:32] What's great about his performance is he's cold, but he also brings enough humanity-

[00:58:38] There's some levity to it.

[00:58:39] No, enough humanity to the role that he makes it scary because he seems like a normal person.

[00:58:44] You get why people would like, oh, this dude's awful, but like-

[00:58:49] Yeah, but you see why he's able to convince people like what makes sense and all that stuff.

[00:58:53] I like it when they do that in the film.

[00:58:55] This movie, it's so good.

[00:58:56] I don't like it when they do that in real life, though.

[00:58:58] That's a good point.

[00:58:59] Thank you for bringing that up.

[00:59:00] I don't like that.

[00:59:01] No, this is a very tense, taut thriller.

[00:59:05] It's very-

[00:59:05] Listen, okay, real quick.

[00:59:07] I only went to three meetings.

[00:59:10] He's like, come on, have a beer.

[00:59:11] I'm like, I went.

[00:59:12] It was just-

[00:59:13] Yeah.

[00:59:14] They almost got him.

[00:59:15] It was just information.

[00:59:16] It was just information.

[00:59:16] It was a little weird that there were no women and nobody that wasn't white.

[00:59:19] It was at B-dubs.

[00:59:21] I'm like, I'm going to go.

[00:59:22] Yeah.

[00:59:22] Then the second one was just at a guy's house.

[00:59:25] The third one was in the woods.

[00:59:26] Yeah.

[00:59:26] I was like, well, I got to go.

[00:59:28] With a bonfire around the cross.

[00:59:29] Yeah.

[00:59:29] Well, I did in my glasses, and I was in the back, and it just looked like a big bonfire.

[00:59:33] That's fair.

[00:59:34] I can't see too well anyway.

[00:59:37] It's like, man, is this an all-white party?

[00:59:38] Like, I didn't-

[00:59:39] And you're not going to turn down s'mores.

[00:59:40] It was right around Halloween.

[00:59:41] I thought we were all ghosts.

[00:59:44] Anyway, it turns out I'm on some list.

[00:59:46] It turns out.

[00:59:47] One thing led to another.

[00:59:49] And I'm not allowed near that school anymore.

[00:59:52] I did actually know people were Klan members.

[00:59:55] What?

[00:59:56] Yeah, Ben.

[00:59:57] No.

[01:00:00] Let's go all the way back to the, we used to date.

[01:00:04] I knew Klan members in high school.

[01:00:05] Oh, Klanowitz?

[01:00:07] Why have we never seen Klanowitz before?

[01:00:10] Oh my God, it's been right there this whole time.

[01:00:12] I did it to myself.

[01:00:13] Why did I do it to myself?

[01:00:15] I'm so fucking dumb.

[01:00:16] Oh, that was good.

[01:00:17] Like, why did I do it to myself?

[01:00:18] Oh my God.

[01:00:19] I can't believe that we've never come up with Klanowitz before.

[01:00:22] We don't need to have that be a thing.

[01:00:24] We didn't.

[01:00:26] We did.

[01:00:28] I mean, you know the ritual to join the Klan is licking somebody's hand.

[01:00:33] No, no.

[01:00:34] Don't start that rumor.

[01:00:35] RIP Uncle Jerry.

[01:00:36] I'm sorry, buddy.

[01:00:38] You shot yourself in your white foot.

[01:00:42] But no, the order.

[01:00:43] Those are the roses closet.

[01:00:44] The order is fantastic.

[01:00:45] I would implore you to see it.

[01:00:47] It's in theaters now.

[01:00:48] It's very, very good.

[01:00:50] Do not sleep on it.

[01:00:51] What's the last movie that you saw?

[01:00:52] The last movie I saw, and Nate's going to like this one too.

[01:00:55] Oh my God.

[01:00:56] He's just dragging this out on purpose now.

[01:00:57] I watched Juror number two.

[01:00:59] Now, I have heard that this is good.

[01:01:00] This is fantastic.

[01:01:02] This is Nicholas Holt.

[01:01:03] This is also Nicholas Holt.

[01:01:04] 90-year-old Glenn Eastwood.

[01:01:06] Yeah, and it seems like this is probably his last movie.

[01:01:08] That's what he was talking about anyway.

[01:01:11] The buzz was that this might be the last movie that he directs.

[01:01:15] He's legitimately like 91 years old.

[01:01:17] Yeah, he's 94.

[01:01:18] 94.

[01:01:19] Very old man.

[01:01:20] This movie is fantastic.

[01:01:22] And unfortunately, Warner Brothers gave it a real shit release.

[01:01:24] They only released it in around 50 theaters around the United States.

[01:01:28] People were really upset about it because this is a movie that deserves a full theatrical release.

[01:01:32] It's a great courtroom drama with fantastic performances in it.

[01:01:36] It has an inherently classic feel to it.

[01:01:40] So here's the thing.

[01:01:41] Tell, for those who don't know, maybe Teresa, have you seen the trailer for this at all?

[01:01:44] So tell, the premise is incredible.

[01:01:46] The premise is fantastic, and it's done so well.

[01:01:48] So the premise is Nicholas Holt plays this guy who's called in for jury duty,

[01:01:52] and he's listening to the details of the case.

[01:01:55] And as it unfolds early in the movie, he starts to realize that the case is about the death of a woman

[01:02:01] that he might have accidentally killed in a hit and run.

[01:02:04] So it's about they think that there's somebody on trial facing a murder charge,

[01:02:09] and it could have been actually him drunk driving one night, I think.

[01:02:13] Yeah, and the thing is, he's a very good guy,

[01:02:17] and he legitimately doesn't think that he hurt anybody when this happens.

[01:02:22] He thinks he hit a deer.

[01:02:23] And so when he starts realizing what the details of the case are

[01:02:27] and where he was on that night and what happened and where it all was,

[01:02:31] he slowly is like, oh my god.

[01:02:33] It's a reverse 12 Angry Men where he's trying to convince people to convict this guy.

[01:02:38] No, convict him because I did it.

[01:02:41] Please, please.

[01:02:42] So you're not entirely wrong.

[01:02:43] That is part of it, and it's an interesting dynamic that plays.

[01:02:46] But he's not being evil about it either.

[01:02:49] The guilt is constantly there, and he's constantly thinking about what happened,

[01:02:53] and there's flashbacks, and you learn about who he is

[01:02:56] and why he's even in more of a pickle than even the trailer makes it out to be

[01:03:00] because getting out of it by simply being honest isn't going to work for this guy.

[01:03:05] So it's a very, very good movie.

[01:03:07] Tony Collette is also in it, and she's fantastic.

[01:03:09] Chris Messina is in it as the prosecuting attorney, and he's great in it as well.

[01:03:14] He's a very good actor.

[01:03:15] Yeah.

[01:03:15] He's the public defender.

[01:03:17] Sorry, the public defender.

[01:03:18] There you go.

[01:03:20] Everyone in this movie is really good.

[01:03:22] It's a fantastic cast.

[01:03:23] Well, they only had one take to do it in, so you'd hope.

[01:03:25] You have to get really good actors to do it.

[01:03:27] Kiefer Sutherland's in this event.

[01:03:29] His part is much smaller, but he does have a small part in it.

[01:03:32] But no, so this movie is really good.

[01:03:33] But because it's in there's limited theaters, you might not be able to see it on the big screen,

[01:03:37] but it will be on max before the end of the year.

[01:03:40] So make sure you go out of your way to watch it on max.

[01:03:41] You can rent it currently.

[01:03:42] Yes, you can rent it currently.

[01:03:43] I think it's premium rental.

[01:03:45] Those are probably expensive, but it'll be streaming on max very soon in December.

[01:03:48] So make sure you check it out because it is very, very good.

[01:03:51] I saw the National Film Review or whatever put this in their top 10 already over this year.

[01:03:57] Could it make your top 10?

[01:03:58] I could see it making it my top 10.

[01:04:00] I haven't gone to make my list of potential candidates yet.

[01:04:04] It'll be probably on your list of potential.

[01:04:05] It'll be in consideration for sure.

[01:04:06] And I still have some movies that I have to watch before I get around to doing that.

[01:04:09] What about the one before that?

[01:04:11] Would that be in the top?

[01:04:12] The Order could end up on it as well.

[01:04:14] Okay.

[01:04:14] Yeah, that's possible.

[01:04:15] Right now I'm doing a lot of...

[01:04:17] Stop tickling each other.

[01:04:18] We just like to talk.

[01:04:22] I'm doing some catch up right now.

[01:04:24] I have The Wild Robot now, so I'm going to watch that soon.

[01:04:27] Oh, I love that.

[01:04:28] I can't wait to see it.

[01:04:28] Did you watch it?

[01:04:29] I did.

[01:04:30] He hasn't talked about it on the show yet.

[01:04:31] I think he mentioned it on Facebook somewhere.

[01:04:34] I was like, he didn't talk about it on the show.

[01:04:35] I forgot about it.

[01:04:36] Yeah, I did watch that.

[01:04:36] It's wonderful.

[01:04:38] It is exactly what he wanted to be.

[01:04:39] What was the last movie you watched then, dummy?

[01:04:41] I watched National Improves Christmas Vacation.

[01:04:44] Yes.

[01:04:44] Oh, first time.

[01:04:45] What did you think?

[01:04:47] If you don't know it by heart, by now something's wrong.

[01:04:49] What's your favorite line in the movie?

[01:04:51] Fix the new post.

[01:04:52] Is it really?

[01:04:53] Really?

[01:04:54] Really?

[01:04:55] Because that, to me, is...

[01:04:57] How you deal with problems?

[01:04:58] As I've watched it so many times now, as I'm aged, I'm so much more on his side about

[01:05:06] how crazy it gets.

[01:05:08] And the fact that he does that, and that's his solution, he's like, fuck it.

[01:05:12] It means more now.

[01:05:14] I'm not sure you got the right lessons from that movie.

[01:05:16] No, it's hilarious.

[01:05:17] I love that.

[01:05:19] But the why is the carpet, Todd?

[01:05:21] Why is the carpet wet, Todd?

[01:05:22] I don't know, Margo.

[01:05:23] That's another one.

[01:05:24] But I love that because it happens because of the gutter.

[01:05:28] Oh, my gosh.

[01:05:29] So that's why I like that line.

[01:05:30] But no.

[01:05:31] Shitter's full?

[01:05:32] No, it's got to be.

[01:05:33] Shitter's full.

[01:05:34] But my favorite line, because it's a more low-key one, it's when Eddie's talking about...

[01:05:39] He said Eddie wanted a surprise.

[01:05:41] He's like, you surprised Clark?

[01:05:42] And he goes, surprise Eddie, if I woke up tomorrow with my head stoned in the car, I wouldn't

[01:05:46] be any more surprised than I am right now.

[01:05:48] That's a great line.

[01:05:49] And then mine is...

[01:05:51] She worked really hard.

[01:05:53] Soda washing machine.

[01:05:57] Soda washing machine.

[01:05:58] That one is my favorite.

[01:05:59] That's a great line.

[01:06:00] Again, that movie is so full of amazing lines.

[01:06:03] I'm so glad you finally saw it.

[01:06:04] Oh, my God.

[01:06:05] Then I watched Scrooged.

[01:06:09] Oh, that's another good one.

[01:06:11] That's in my rotation every year.

[01:06:13] I watch it every year at Christmas.

[01:06:15] Why are you looking at me like that?

[01:06:16] I'm glad you just had this on.

[01:06:17] He's happy for you.

[01:06:18] Okay.

[01:06:19] That seems a little weird.

[01:06:20] Did you like it?

[01:06:21] I love Scrooged.

[01:06:22] I watch it every year.

[01:06:24] Wow.

[01:06:26] I just feel like Mr. fucking Christmas King over there.

[01:06:30] Give me these judgy eyes.

[01:06:32] I don't want to watch that.

[01:06:33] That's the one you choose.

[01:06:34] Maybe that's some internal work you need to do right now.

[01:06:36] I'm just looking at you.

[01:06:37] Real judgy.

[01:06:39] Real judgy.

[01:06:39] I think you're projecting.

[01:06:40] From your pile of Christmas movies on high that you watch.

[01:06:42] You're like...

[01:06:45] I think you're projecting, Ben.

[01:06:48] Like Clark and the Attic?

[01:06:49] Yeah.

[01:06:52] I watched those two and I watched...

[01:06:55] That's it, actually.

[01:06:56] Because it's only been a couple days since we just recorded.

[01:06:58] It's been four, four, four days.

[01:07:01] Four, four, four days?

[01:07:03] Did you see the latest episode of Shrinking?

[01:07:04] I did.

[01:07:05] Oh, is it back out?

[01:07:06] No.

[01:07:07] I got to get Apple TV again.

[01:07:09] We got to wait until the whole season's done.

[01:07:11] I think you got one more week and then the whole season's done.

[01:07:13] Okay.

[01:07:13] All right.

[01:07:13] That's kind of our style.

[01:07:15] Yeah.

[01:07:15] So right around Christmas time, you're going to be able to fix the whole thing.

[01:07:17] I got to finish Yellowstone.

[01:07:18] Oh, and we watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban as well.

[01:07:21] Oh, what did the kids think of that one?

[01:07:22] Were they scared?

[01:07:22] They pissed their pants?

[01:07:24] Jesus Christ.

[01:07:25] Anyway, they fucking have nightmares?

[01:07:27] They wake up with just pissing their sheets?

[01:07:31] What happened there?

[01:07:32] Were they pissing themselves?

[01:07:33] They piss on each other?

[01:07:34] What happened?

[01:07:34] What is wrong with you?

[01:07:36] I don't know if the kids were scared or not.

[01:07:37] My God.

[01:07:38] Yeah.

[01:07:39] Yeah.

[01:07:39] It's a little intense for Ender.

[01:07:41] He's the eight-year-old and he's into cartoons, you know, and so we're trying to get him into

[01:07:46] more live action stuff.

[01:07:48] No, Harry Potter, that's the movie that it starts to take place in a lot of different

[01:07:52] places and a lot of things are happening.

[01:07:54] And so for his eight-year-old brain to kind of keep track of it, something happens later

[01:07:58] in the movie and he goes, where's, what, why?

[01:08:01] And we have to be like, oh, pause it.

[01:08:02] Well, he's the guy that, so like, so Godfather is-

[01:08:06] Hold on.

[01:08:06] Who's Harry Potter?

[01:08:08] So we're explaining like real things.

[01:08:10] And when you live in the fantasy world, explaining what's happening becomes even more difficult.

[01:08:14] It's like, well, I mean, in the real world, he wouldn't be able to fly, but like, well,

[01:08:17] a Dementor is an employee, yes, but also they suck souls and happiness and they do it by kissing

[01:08:26] you.

[01:08:26] I don't know.

[01:08:27] It's fucking weird, okay?

[01:08:29] It was really hard to describe that.

[01:08:31] So they liked it?

[01:08:31] Yeah, they did like it.

[01:08:32] Were they scared of Sirius Black?

[01:08:34] Oh, yeah.

[01:08:34] Yeah.

[01:08:35] It worked.

[01:08:35] The movie does what it's supposed to do in that way.

[01:08:37] They were on the couch.

[01:08:38] Gary Oldman is so good.

[01:08:39] So we have the older one, Rune.

[01:08:41] We've got the oh my scale because when he is shocked by something, he'll say, oh my.

[01:08:47] Oh my.

[01:08:48] It's so polite.

[01:08:49] It is.

[01:08:50] And it's adorable.

[01:08:51] But that's the only thing that he repeats when Big Ad.

[01:08:55] If he says, oh my, five or six times in a row, I'm like, is this too intense or are you

[01:09:00] loving it?

[01:09:01] And it turns out I'm learning.

[01:09:02] He just loves it.

[01:09:03] It's just so overwhelmingly fun for him to watch.

[01:09:07] Like we watched Transformers 1.

[01:09:09] We're only halfway through that, so I didn't want to talk about it yet.

[01:09:11] Yeah.

[01:09:12] But man, there's a couple of action scenes in there where he's like, oh my, oh my, oh

[01:09:15] my, oh my.

[01:09:16] And he's like sitting up in the chair as he's watching it.

[01:09:18] So it's just really exciting.

[01:09:19] Yeah.

[01:09:19] You know, I love it.

[01:09:20] He's pissing himself.

[01:09:22] Jesus Christ.

[01:09:23] Look at you as kids.

[01:09:25] They're awesome, man.

[01:09:26] Yeah.

[01:09:26] That's so cute.

[01:09:26] No, yeah.

[01:09:27] I'm in love with them.

[01:09:28] I love them so much.

[01:09:29] Aw.

[01:09:30] That's weird.

[01:09:31] Yeah.

[01:09:35] The fact that Nate was the one that said it made it that much better.

[01:09:38] I also love it.

[01:09:39] It's like, that's Nate's impression is if he like was my uncle who had like six beers

[01:09:43] in him.

[01:09:43] That's weird.

[01:09:45] Gay.

[01:09:47] What are you loving kids now?

[01:09:48] Jesus.

[01:09:50] Get them mudflaps back on the Playboys.

[01:09:54] You got it, Uncle Jerry.

[01:09:56] That's not at all what he sounded like.

[01:09:59] Well, I mean, yeah.

[01:09:59] Anyway, that's it.

[01:10:01] Yeah.

[01:10:02] That's it.

[01:10:02] I watched three movies and a TV show.

[01:10:04] What do you want from me?

[01:10:05] Watch more.

[01:10:05] In four days.

[01:10:06] I mean, a busy life.

[01:10:07] We also have a life.

[01:10:08] All right.

[01:10:09] Yeah.

[01:10:09] I played Santa Claus at the arcade day.

[01:10:10] We cut down a Christmas tree and brought it home and decorated it.

[01:10:13] I made spaghetti and meatballs for the kids tonight.

[01:10:15] Yeah.

[01:10:15] But again, imagine if you spent that time watching movies and TV.

[01:10:20] You're right.

[01:10:21] Highest best use of my time is definitely watching a movie.

[01:10:24] Hey, I do.

[01:10:24] And look at me.

[01:10:25] I'm kick ass.

[01:10:26] Hey, is anybody here?

[01:10:27] Hey, look at me.

[01:10:28] I'm a cool guy.

[01:10:29] Hey, look at me.

[01:10:30] I'm a cool guy.

[01:10:30] I kick ass to put a music cap on.

[01:10:32] Did you see Wicked yet or no?

[01:10:33] No.

[01:10:34] He told you this.

[01:10:35] Steve did.

[01:10:36] Off the fucking podcast.

[01:10:38] Yeah.

[01:10:38] Thank you, Nate.

[01:10:39] Jesus.

[01:10:39] We have times when we record and times we don't.

[01:10:41] This is how life works.

[01:10:42] You dumb fuck.

[01:10:42] By the way, you said thank you, Nate.

[01:10:44] You meant.

[01:10:45] No, I said thank you, Nate.

[01:10:45] Oh, I thought you mean sarcastic towards him.

[01:10:47] Well, no.

[01:10:48] Now you know what?

[01:10:48] Fuck you, Nate.

[01:10:51] No, I haven't seen Wicked yet because I've tried to go with my mom a couple times to see

[01:10:55] like a matinee on the weekend or something.

[01:10:56] I've already heard this.

[01:10:57] You fucking piece of shit.

[01:11:00] Every time I've gone because I want to go to the Imagine Theater and Ported because it's

[01:11:03] way nicer than the AMC Theater.

[01:11:05] You can choose your seats.

[01:11:06] But every time I've looked at the screen you want to go to, it's only front row seating

[01:11:10] or single seats.

[01:11:12] Wow.

[01:11:12] I'm like, what the fuck?

[01:11:13] Well, don't look an hour before.

[01:11:15] No, I'm looking days ahead and they're already sold to that level.

[01:11:19] No, you're going to get a couple more weeks when everyone's on Christmas break.

[01:11:22] I know, right?

[01:11:23] So I think we're just going to have to go during the week.

[01:11:25] Off air, we were talking about how Wicked has made how much?

[01:11:29] $450 million.

[01:11:30] I mean, it's a huge hit.

[01:11:32] They advertised it for like six months.

[01:11:33] And it's only a week in.

[01:11:35] Yeah, it's crazy.

[01:11:36] My brother Steve did see it.

[01:11:38] Yeah.

[01:11:38] Last night.

[01:11:39] What do you think?

[01:11:40] He said it was pretty good.

[01:11:41] He's never seen the theater production though.

[01:11:44] Oh, really?

[01:11:44] I've seen the theater production.

[01:11:45] Yeah, theater production's great.

[01:11:46] A couple times.

[01:11:46] I was a little drunk, so I might have passed out near the end.

[01:11:51] I'm not sure that you were a little drunk then.

[01:11:53] It was a little long.

[01:11:54] I might have passed out.

[01:11:55] I might have had a little too much wine at dinner.

[01:11:58] What happens?

[01:11:59] Man, it was a long play.

[01:12:00] It is.

[01:12:01] It is a long play.

[01:12:02] It is long.

[01:12:02] And somehow the first half of the movie is longer.

[01:12:06] What?

[01:12:07] What do you mean the first half?

[01:12:08] Because they're breaking.

[01:12:09] Because it's two movies.

[01:12:10] Oh, Wicked and Wicked 2?

[01:12:11] It is?

[01:12:12] This is Wicked Part 1.

[01:12:13] Wicked 2.

[01:12:14] And there's a second movie that comes out next year.

[01:12:15] Wicked 2.

[01:12:16] And so the first movie is two and a half hours, and it's half the story.

[01:12:20] Oh, that's long.

[01:12:21] Buckle up, Wicked fans.

[01:12:23] A whole new world.

[01:12:26] Stop that.

[01:12:27] What?

[01:12:28] That's not?

[01:12:29] Okay.

[01:12:30] Ain't never going to have been like me.

[01:12:32] There you go.

[01:12:32] That's better.

[01:12:33] Yeah.

[01:12:34] Do we have any trailers or no?

[01:12:35] No, we said not to do trailers because we wanted to get through this lickety split

[01:12:38] because you had to go and have your-

[01:12:39] No, lickety split, meaning I watched nine movies and here's a 15-minute diatribe about

[01:12:44] all of them.

[01:12:45] We've been recording podcasts today for like 16 hours.

[01:12:48] Yeah, it's been a long haul.

[01:12:49] Yeah, we cut this one down.

[01:12:50] Ben was-

[01:12:50] He talked about each episode of Survivor that he watched earlier, and we had to sit and listen

[01:12:56] to it.

[01:12:56] Survivor.

[01:12:57] Yeah.

[01:12:57] Him and Jeff Probst are like this.

[01:12:59] Yep.

[01:12:59] I'm putting my fingers together.

[01:13:00] I do really like Jeff Probst.

[01:13:02] Yeah.

[01:13:03] And he's-

[01:13:03] Is he from Utah?

[01:13:05] Ah, probably.

[01:13:05] I mean, all the Probsts are in Utah.

[01:13:07] Is that right?

[01:13:08] Yeah.

[01:13:08] I bet he is.

[01:13:09] You know what?

[01:13:10] I don't have to wonder.

[01:13:12] I've got the internet.

[01:13:12] My whole town is like Probst.

[01:13:13] I don't have to wonder.

[01:13:14] Probst everything.

[01:13:16] I'm surprised Ben doesn't know.

[01:13:17] I don't-

[01:13:18] We know where this is coming from.

[01:13:20] I don't even know who you're talking about.

[01:13:21] He's the host of Survivor, but I don't-

[01:13:23] Okay, shut up.

[01:13:24] I know that, but I don't know much about this show.

[01:13:27] I never watched Survivor.

[01:13:27] What's the end of the show called?

[01:13:31] Survivor Badasses?

[01:13:32] No, what do they have when they vote?

[01:13:33] They vote people off the island.

[01:13:35] Yeah, I know, but what it's called?

[01:13:37] What are you getting at?

[01:13:38] You just-

[01:13:39] Just answer.

[01:13:39] Or it's a-

[01:13:40] Give them a Probst Blue Ribbon?

[01:13:43] Oh my God, Jace on that one.

[01:13:45] It's okay.

[01:13:46] Oh, that joke's just okay.

[01:13:48] You want to laugh.

[01:13:49] I can see it in your face.

[01:13:50] You can see it.

[01:13:50] He's like, fuck you.

[01:13:51] I had a better joke about it.

[01:13:53] Okay, what is it?

[01:13:54] During stand-up.

[01:13:54] I used to do it.

[01:13:55] I don't remember, Brad.

[01:13:56] I remember your stand-up.

[01:13:58] Well, you remember it better than yours,

[01:13:59] because mine was funny.

[01:14:01] What was your joke going to be, buddy?

[01:14:02] It's a Pabst Blue Ribbon.

[01:14:04] If that beer won the Blue Ribbon,

[01:14:06] what got last place?

[01:14:08] Oh boy.

[01:14:08] Because it's trash.

[01:14:09] I don't know that that's a better joke.

[01:14:12] And you're not still doing stand-up?

[01:14:13] And blue?

[01:14:15] It was a work in progress.

[01:14:17] You're workshopping it.

[01:14:18] Yeah.

[01:14:18] We were still working on it at the time.

[01:14:20] I don't know how much more there is to go with that one.

[01:14:22] Ben, tell one of your jokes.

[01:14:24] All right, so two trans dudes going to a bed.

[01:14:26] Okay, there we go.

[01:14:29] And they had a very nice time.

[01:14:32] Because they're people.

[01:14:32] Yeah, they're people, Brad.

[01:14:34] I think I have one joke,

[01:14:35] and I told it the last time I was on the podcast.

[01:14:37] Can you tell it again?

[01:14:38] I can.

[01:14:38] Please do.

[01:14:39] Yeah.

[01:14:41] Hold on.

[01:14:42] Like a street joke?

[01:14:43] No, it's good.

[01:14:46] Why did Jesus die on the cross?

[01:14:48] You'll appreciate this, Nate.

[01:14:49] Okay.

[01:14:49] Oh yeah, Nate.

[01:14:50] Only Nate.

[01:14:50] Yeah, why did Jesus die on the cross?

[01:14:52] I don't know.

[01:14:53] I don't know why.

[01:14:53] Because he forgot the safe word.

[01:14:56] Hmm.

[01:14:57] Wow.

[01:14:57] Sex thing.

[01:14:58] Oh.

[01:15:00] That's dark.

[01:15:01] Isn't that a good one, though?

[01:15:02] Listen.

[01:15:03] Listen.

[01:15:05] It's blasphemous, and I love it.

[01:15:06] It's the only one I can remember.

[01:15:13] Don't apologize to us.

[01:15:15] Apologize to Jesus.

[01:15:16] Tis the season.

[01:15:20] I'm trying to think if I have a joke.

[01:15:21] I don't have any jokes.

[01:15:23] Jeff Probst, is he from?

[01:15:24] Nope.

[01:15:25] He's from Kansas.

[01:15:26] No.

[01:15:26] Well, then.

[01:15:27] There we go.

[01:15:28] You know what?

[01:15:28] We all learned a lot today.

[01:15:29] Well, Kansas is the Utah of the Midwest.

[01:15:32] What is wrong with you?

[01:15:34] Just prove me wrong.

[01:15:35] I don't know what to do anymore.

[01:15:37] Go watch Survivor.

[01:15:38] I think that this is the last episode of the show.

[01:15:41] I think we're just done.

[01:15:41] I think we're burned out.

[01:15:42] You a little burned out?

[01:15:43] I'm a little burned out.

[01:15:44] A lot burned out.

[01:15:44] Yeah, I think we're going to take a few months off.

[01:15:45] We do a lot of these.

[01:15:46] We do a lot of these.

[01:15:47] Me and Nate are going to go start our own podcast.

[01:15:48] I think the fact that we just recorded it, and how we record again, it reminds me,

[01:15:51] it should take longer.

[01:15:52] Well, you know what's funny?

[01:15:53] We would have longer, except you fucked up your stupid schedule again.

[01:15:57] I don't remember that.

[01:15:57] I think you're just accommodating me, which is very kind of you.

[01:16:01] No, we normally record on Sunday nights, but we recorded on Wednesday last week because

[01:16:05] We probably wouldn't have, though, because we just recorded.

[01:16:07] Yeah.

[01:16:08] No, we would have still.

[01:16:09] No, we would have argued about it.

[01:16:13] No, because Ben and I would have been like-

[01:16:15] I love it.

[01:16:15] Yeah, we don't really need to record the Flix or something.

[01:16:17] We're just going to do SNL because that's the-

[01:16:20] And Brad's like, well, if we don't have consistency, then we don't have a podcast.

[01:16:23] Here's how I know-

[01:16:24] Yeah, that's correct, though.

[01:16:24] People expect new episodes.

[01:16:26] That it's accurate is because Nate dropped his head back and he was just like, yeah,

[01:16:30] we're in an argument about it.

[01:16:32] He's being very sincere about exactly how it would have gone.

[01:16:35] Yeah, it's tough being committed to something instead of acting, you're just going to go

[01:16:39] around and fuck about and just do bullshit all the time.

[01:16:41] Sorry you have to put out an episode for the listeners that like listening to you talk

[01:16:44] about stuff.

[01:16:45] It must be really hard to do something you enjoy.

[01:16:47] We literally have yet to find a listener that actually enjoys this.

[01:16:49] Therese is right here.

[01:16:50] She hate listens.

[01:16:51] She's like, I fucking hate this, but I've been listening for so long now.

[01:16:54] I laugh.

[01:16:55] As long as you laugh.

[01:16:55] I hate to laugh.

[01:16:56] That's all.

[01:16:56] Listen, we love you for it.

[01:16:59] Truly, madly, deeply.

[01:17:02] Fuck you.

[01:17:02] The 10 to 1, though, it's great.

[01:17:05] I'll watch the episode and then go listen to the 10 to 1.

[01:17:07] Well, thank you.

[01:17:08] That's very, very sweet.

[01:17:08] By the way, when you were dating Ben, was he romantic?

[01:17:14] No.

[01:17:15] I was a 16-year-old boy.

[01:17:16] What do you want from me?

[01:17:17] I was romantic at 16.

[01:17:19] Yeah, but you're a hopeless romantic in the first place.

[01:17:23] I am a hopeless romantic.

[01:17:24] Yeah.

[01:17:25] He write you love notes and then sign it, truly, madly, deeply, Ben.

[01:17:31] No, we went to the movies a lot.

[01:17:32] Yeah.

[01:17:33] That sounds about right.

[01:17:35] That tracks.

[01:17:36] That tracks.

[01:17:37] We really did watch a lot of movies.

[01:17:39] That explains why she doesn't like to go anymore.

[01:17:40] She's like, man, my experiences were tarnished back in high school with this idiot.

[01:17:46] Got this trauma response every time I go to the theater.

[01:17:48] Every Jason Statham movie ever that came out, that's all he wanted to watch.

[01:17:51] Like, oh, what's the latest Arnold Schwarzenegger movie?

[01:17:53] Let's go see that.

[01:17:54] The first time she went without you, she was like, oh, why doesn't this theater not smell

[01:17:58] like stinky feet?

[01:17:59] No, she's like, why isn't anybody dying?

[01:18:01] All he watches is action movies.

[01:18:03] I don't think I've ever seen Predator, though.

[01:18:06] Yeah.

[01:18:07] It's not great.

[01:18:08] Oh, you know what?

[01:18:10] I'm not even going to dignify that with a response.

[01:18:12] I'll watch it someday.

[01:18:13] I hope you do.

[01:18:13] It's fantastic.

[01:18:14] It is very good.

[01:18:15] It is good.

[01:18:16] Yeah, it really is.

[01:18:16] It really is a good movie.

[01:18:18] Brad, what movie are you going to watch for Christmas?

[01:18:20] What's your go-to right now?

[01:18:21] You mean like on Christmas?

[01:18:22] What are you looking forward to this year to watch?

[01:18:25] I know you got a bunch of them on repeat like Nate does, like I do.

[01:18:28] What's your go-to?

[01:18:29] Do you watch Home Alone?

[01:18:30] Do you watch Home Alone?

[01:18:31] Yeah.

[01:18:31] I mean, I have so many movies that I watch on repeat for Christmas.

[01:18:35] I've already re-watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

[01:18:38] I watched Planes, Trains, and Automobiles for Thanksgiving week.

[01:18:42] I haven't re-watched Home Alone yet, actually.

[01:18:44] I need to do that soon.

[01:18:45] And I need to watch Jingle All The Way because I haven't done that yet either.

[01:18:47] You know what?

[01:18:47] I'm going to introduce the boys to Jingle All The Way.

[01:18:49] They haven't seen Jingle All The Way?

[01:18:50] I don't believe they've ever seen it.

[01:18:51] Oh, that's so fun.

[01:18:52] Yeah, that'll be a fun one.

[01:18:53] I'll bet they'll love it.

[01:18:54] But they laugh and piss themselves.

[01:18:55] Put that cookie down!

[01:18:56] They'll probably laugh and piss themselves.

[01:18:57] That's my favorite line in that one.

[01:18:59] They're not going to be...

[01:19:01] I've got to talk to you about that.

[01:19:02] You can't just be talking about my kids' pants.

[01:19:03] It's two hilarious things.

[01:19:04] If they're scared and they piss themselves, it's hilarious.

[01:19:06] If they laugh and they piss themselves, double hilarious.

[01:19:08] Oh, my God.

[01:19:09] Got two good jokes there.

[01:19:12] I forgot I saw Home Alone recently for the first time.

[01:19:15] What?

[01:19:15] I mean, literally like a week ago.

[01:19:17] For the first time ever?

[01:19:19] How have you avoided it for this whole time?

[01:19:21] Hold on, hold on, hold on.

[01:19:22] Okay.

[01:19:23] The podcast is not over.

[01:19:25] You're telling me that we just asked you, what's the last movie you saw?

[01:19:28] And you're like, I don't really watch movies.

[01:19:30] He's like, oh wait, I just watched Home Alone for the first time a week ago.

[01:19:35] That's called burying the lead.

[01:19:37] Like, you absolutely...

[01:19:38] I forgot.

[01:19:39] How have you avoided it?

[01:19:40] Like, what's...

[01:19:41] Why have you avoided it?

[01:19:42] Well, she doesn't watch the movie.

[01:19:43] I mean, when did it come out?

[01:19:45] 1990.

[01:19:46] Not recently.

[01:19:47] 1990.

[01:19:48] 9-0.

[01:19:49] 1990.

[01:19:49] 1990.

[01:19:50] So I was 10, 11.

[01:19:52] Perfect age for that film.

[01:19:54] But I didn't...

[01:19:55] He was the age of the character.

[01:19:56] My family didn't have cable.

[01:19:58] We didn't have...

[01:19:59] But it's Home Alone.

[01:19:59] We didn't have a VCR.

[01:20:01] Oh, you didn't rent VHS.

[01:20:02] Oh, wow.

[01:20:02] She does have some hurdles to overcome that.

[01:20:04] For quite some time.

[01:20:05] Yeah, we didn't have those, right?

[01:20:07] So, yeah, I did not see Home Alone, and I just never saw it through all these years.

[01:20:11] And then Sean goes, you have to come up with a Christmas movie you've not seen.

[01:20:16] Sean.

[01:20:16] Sean.

[01:20:16] Sean.

[01:20:16] I love that guy.

[01:20:17] He's the MVP of the podcast right now.

[01:20:18] Where's Sean?

[01:20:19] Why isn't he on the podcast?

[01:20:20] Sean, come on the show.

[01:20:21] We're talking about movies.

[01:20:23] Yeah.

[01:20:24] So I said, okay, I've never seen Home Alone.

[01:20:26] I recorded it last Christmas.

[01:20:28] Was he embarrassed for you?

[01:20:29] And we finally watched it.

[01:20:30] Was he embarrassed for you?

[01:20:31] Now, through the lens of, you know, it's a movie that is not recent.

[01:20:36] It's an older movie.

[01:20:37] But did you enjoy it?

[01:20:39] I did.

[01:20:40] I might have dozed off slightly during the climax of it, like when they were breaking in the

[01:20:45] house and he was doing all those things.

[01:20:46] Oh, the good part when he had all the craps and.

[01:20:49] Yes.

[01:20:49] The culmination of the entire movie and you were like.

[01:20:52] I know.

[01:20:53] It was late.

[01:20:53] It was a wicked situation where it's late and you're tired?

[01:20:55] It was late.

[01:20:55] I was tired.

[01:20:56] Was Sean still awake?

[01:20:57] Oh, yeah.

[01:20:57] Oh, wrapped with attention.

[01:20:58] I think you meant Kolkmanation.

[01:21:00] But no, it ages well.

[01:21:02] It's fun.

[01:21:03] I mean, it's fun.

[01:21:04] It's like, yeah, it's a great movie.

[01:21:06] Macaulay Kolkmanation.

[01:21:07] Oh, my God.

[01:21:10] Wow.

[01:21:10] Wow.

[01:21:10] That's crazy.

[01:21:11] But you were aware of its pop culture imprint, like the scream and all that stuff, right?

[01:21:17] Yeah.

[01:21:17] That's interesting.

[01:21:18] I just never saw it.

[01:21:19] Okay.

[01:21:20] Well, we learned a lot today, guys.

[01:21:22] Today was a learning episode of Go Flicks Yourself.

[01:21:24] I learned so much.

[01:21:25] Are there any other famous Christmas movies you haven't seen?

[01:21:28] Oh, my gosh.

[01:21:30] No, no.

[01:21:31] But as famous as Home Alone.

[01:21:32] Have you not?

[01:21:33] A Christmas Story.

[01:21:35] Yeah, I don't like that one.

[01:21:37] All right.

[01:21:37] Prancer.

[01:21:38] Well, obviously it's been Prancer.

[01:21:40] Listen, a lot of people haven't.

[01:21:41] Yeah.

[01:21:42] Miracle on 34th Street.

[01:21:44] Yeah.

[01:21:44] I'm not a fan of the old school ones.

[01:21:47] So It's a Wonderful Life, not a-

[01:21:48] I know.

[01:21:48] Nate is over there just like-

[01:21:50] It's a Wonderful Life.

[01:21:50] It's a Wonderful Life is my fan.

[01:21:52] A Muppet.

[01:21:52] That's my Christmas movie.

[01:21:53] I have seen it.

[01:21:54] A Muppet Christmas Carol.

[01:21:55] I don't like Muppet.

[01:21:56] I don't like the Muppets.

[01:21:58] I know.

[01:21:59] I know.

[01:22:00] Well, now Brad's taking it back.

[01:22:03] Like, this is-

[01:22:05] It's hard.

[01:22:06] Yeah, I don't-

[01:22:06] Yeah, the Muppets.

[01:22:07] It was just like this in-between time.

[01:22:09] But you did say that Christmas Vacation, Elf.

[01:22:12] Yes.

[01:22:12] You've seen those.

[01:22:13] Bad Santa.

[01:22:14] Bad Santa.

[01:22:15] Yeah.

[01:22:15] Sure.

[01:22:15] Yeah.

[01:22:16] I mean, what are the real-

[01:22:17] And forgive the phrasing here.

[01:22:20] What are the real hallmark, you know, be all end of-

[01:22:23] We've named pretty much all of them.

[01:22:25] Christmas Checkpoints.

[01:22:26] Nightmare Before Christmas.

[01:22:28] Yeah, I mean-

[01:22:28] Have you ever seen Nightmare Before Christmas?

[01:22:30] I don't know if I've really seen that.

[01:22:31] I'm a fan of Love Actually.

[01:22:34] Oh, there you go.

[01:22:34] That's a good one.

[01:22:35] I like to love Actually.

[01:22:36] Yeah, for sure.

[01:22:36] Yeah, it's definitely way better than Muppet Christmas.

[01:22:39] I think that you were a little bit more buttered.

[01:22:41] I'm like, I still like the Muppets.

[01:22:43] I'll check it out.

[01:22:44] I'm just thinking about all the great things that the Muppets have done for the world and

[01:22:47] just the fact that you've written them off.

[01:22:48] I will check it out.

[01:22:49] Like they're a deadbeat dad or something.

[01:22:51] I did see Die Hard for the first time a couple years ago, too.

[01:22:54] Oh, that is a Christmas movie.

[01:22:55] I agree.

[01:22:56] I loved Die Hard.

[01:22:57] Die Hard's great.

[01:22:58] Yeah.

[01:22:58] Probably wouldn't have liked it if the Muppets were in it.

[01:23:01] Movie would be, Brad.

[01:23:03] I would love to see a movie where Bruce Willis is the only human and everyone else is Muppets.

[01:23:08] Yeah.

[01:23:08] Actually, in Die Hard.

[01:23:10] That would be great.

[01:23:12] Yeah, that's what I mean.

[01:23:12] It's Guy Smiley as Hans Gruber.

[01:23:15] That's pretty good.

[01:23:17] We did it, guys.

[01:23:18] All right.

[01:23:18] Well, hey, Teresa, thank you so much for being here.

[01:23:19] Thanks for having me.

[01:23:20] Thanks for being on the show.

[01:23:22] Brad, thanks for being here, I guess.

[01:23:24] You're just real contentious tonight.

[01:23:26] I didn't really like all the piss talk.

[01:23:28] Nothing about the piss talk was contentious.

[01:23:30] I was just curious.

[01:23:30] No, those were two separate thoughts.

[01:23:32] You were really contentious tonight.

[01:23:33] Also, didn't really like the piss talk.

[01:23:35] That's a weird curiosity.

[01:23:37] Especially about his boys.

[01:23:38] Hey, tell me about your 8 and 10-year-olds.

[01:23:39] How often do they piss on themselves?

[01:23:41] What is wrong with you?

[01:23:42] First, it's hilarious.

[01:23:43] Okay, Nate.

[01:23:44] I'm sorry.

[01:23:45] If Ben pissed himself right now, that would be hilarious, right?

[01:23:48] No.

[01:23:49] Yeah.

[01:23:49] Probably.

[01:23:50] Legitimately, everybody in this room would get up and stand way back and be like, whoa,

[01:23:54] are you okay?

[01:23:54] What's going on right now?

[01:23:55] I'm also sharing a leather couch with Ben.

[01:23:58] You'd be shocked.

[01:23:58] I would travel.

[01:23:59] You would start laughing if I just started pissing?

[01:24:02] Absolutely.

[01:24:03] Now that I'm thinking about it.

[01:24:06] Just a really dark, wet spot right from my crotch and just dripping on the floor right

[01:24:12] in front of you.

[01:24:12] And you're just like, ah!

[01:24:14] You would, too.

[01:24:15] Especially if you were oblivious to it.

[01:24:18] I'm like, so anyway, really?

[01:24:19] First time with Home Alone, huh?

[01:24:23] Just a spot in his shorts just slowly.

[01:24:26] It just expands.

[01:24:28] It just starts getting bigger and bigger.

[01:24:29] The ripple effect just keeps going.

[01:24:32] I get it.

[01:24:32] It's just what you do.

[01:24:33] See?

[01:24:34] He's laughing.

[01:24:35] That's hilarious.

[01:24:37] Just to see.

[01:24:38] I'm going to have to straight up piss myself.

[01:24:40] Just to see if Brett actually starts laughing.

[01:24:44] If he notices.

[01:24:44] Yeah, if he notices or he starts laughing.

[01:24:46] And it just dribbles down on the floor.

[01:24:48] See, but now...

[01:24:49] It's gross.

[01:24:50] It's disgusting.

[01:24:51] I don't even know if it could be as funny as it is in my head, honestly.

[01:24:55] You are a disturbed, strange little man.

[01:24:58] Oh, man.

[01:24:59] Well, this has been another episode of Go Piss Yourself.

[01:25:03] Bye, everybody.

[01:25:05] Bye.

[01:25:12] Nah, cheat saying, eh?
