Bunky! But love it! You think funky butt loving?

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.000
His fastball became no laughing matter.

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.000
You're the flavor of the cut! You're in.

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:20.000
I'm in.

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.000
But what can one sixth-grader do against pros like these?

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:25.000
Got you.

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.000
Anything he wants.

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.000
Did you got a big bite?

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:30.500
- Rookie of the year.

00:00:30.500 --> 00:00:32.240
- Can you give a hug to the series?

00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:36.119
- Ready PG, starts Wednesday July 7th at theaters everywhere.

00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:38.359
- Starts July 7th, we're super close.

00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:39.719
- Yeah, 30 year anniversary.

00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:42.840
- Wait, was Grape also fire in this movie?

00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.840
Did I just, dude, I was exactly just thinking the same thing.

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:47.039
I don't remember every year.

00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:48.840
- I think it was, I think they just put it in the trailer.

00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:50.079
I don't think it was in the movie.

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:51.439
- That's a good call.

00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:53.920
I don't know why they would do that.

00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:54.759
- It's a great one.

00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:56.039
- I don't know where it would fit though.

00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:57.280
- Yeah, I don't either.

00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.880
Maybe there's a montage they cut out that was gonna have that song over it.

00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:01.079
It's a great montage song.

00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.159
- Sorry, no montage, man.

00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:04.319
- No, there was a montage.

00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:06.239
I kept-- - Oh yeah, no, there definitely was.

00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:07.400
- But not this one.

00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:09.799
- No, it had in the mood by Glenn Miller.

00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.480
(laughs)- Yeah, man, man, man, man, man, man.

00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:14.239
- And another great montage song.

00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:15.079
- Yeah, it is.

00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:15.920
- It is.

00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:16.760
- Especially for a baseball movie.

00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:17.599
- That was a good, that was a good thing.

00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:18.599
- Perfect baseball movie montage.

00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:22.719
- Dude, if you had girl baseballs, then it's just,- Oh man, perfect.

00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:23.719
- Perfect.

00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:30.000
- All right, movie life crisis season three episode 14, "Repeat the Year."- I can't believe 14 already.

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:30.840
Season three.

00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:31.680
- Season three.

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:32.519
- Season three, episode 14.

00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:33.359
I meant to count up.

00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:34.920
I feel like we're past 50 episodes now.

00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:35.920
I'm not positive.

00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:37.079
I should probably check that out.

00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:39.159
- We definitely have a lot of episodes.

00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:40.000
It feels like.

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:41.760
- We did like 28 last season.

00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:43.840
And I think we did like 12 first season.

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:44.879
And then we're 14 years.

00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:46.760
So we may have maybe way past.

00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.519
- Yeah, dude, that would be awesome, right?

00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:51.040
- Yeah, definitely.

00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:54.239
Yeah, the fact that we're still doing it and people are still listening, that's pretty awesome.

00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:55.239
- That's it.

00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:57.480
Yeah, that's super fun.

00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.280
- Anyway, by the way, we have 58.

00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.159
- 58, geez.

00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:03.239
We're crushing it.

00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:05.879
We are pumping out some content for people.

00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:06.719
- Content.

00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:08.639
- For people who really call it content.

00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:13.879
- Content, people who really want to know about what was happening in 1993, we got it dialed in.

00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:15.199
- We got it locked down.

00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:20.199
- Speaking of which, dude, I feel bad'cause every time we start this off and the music starts, I'm giggling.

00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:21.039
- Yeah.

00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.199
- And I feel like I should tell everybody why we're giggling.

00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:24.039
Go for it.

00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:28.960
'Cause on the video, Chad that we're doing, since he's not in the same room as me.

00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.439
It counts down before it starts recording.

00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:40.759
And J.T., every single time says, on me, Larry, and three, two, one, and he counts down like Phil Conner's on Groundhog Day to a middle finger.

00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:43.560
And it makes me giggle every fricking time.

00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:45.159
And I wish it didn't.

00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:46.240
Yeah.

00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.879
We got bits that you guys are not even aware of that are still making us laugh 58 episodes in.

00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:52.400
So that's where we're at.

00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:53.599
That is definitely where we're at.

00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:54.599
Yeah.

00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:55.120
I don't know.

00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:58.319
I always feel like a couple of times here, just like reintroduce, tell people what we're doing.

00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.080
I'm JT, your Jeff, we're doing a podcast for movies.

00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:05.479
It came out 30 years ago, 'cause we were kids then, and everything was great, and nothing hurt.

00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:06.639
And so-- - Nothing.

00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:12.840
(laughing) We'd never felt pain, and life was wonderful.

00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:17.360
So-- - Oh man, jumping out of golf carts, getting back up and chasing it down.

00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:22.080
I slept on the wrong pillow, and now I'd take 15, I'd be proffin' this one.

00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:25.159
Yeah, never once when I was a kid, did I wake up and go, man, my hip hurts.

00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.659
You're good hip, no my other hip.

00:03:27.659 --> 00:03:29.000
Nothing ever hurt when I was a kid.

00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:33.639
Even if you broke your arm, you're like, two days later, you're like, it feels fine, I could go back to practice right now.

00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:35.000
- Yeah, I don't even need this cast.

00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:40.319
- When I was in high school, I had my wisdom teeth pulled, all four wisdom teeth, and then stitches and whatever put in there.

00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:42.000
And two days later, I went back to football practice.

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.400
I was like, I have to go in with a cob later that day.

00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.000
They were, they were grown.

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.000
- They were, they were, they were, the nerve was wrapped around.

00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:48.840
- I was right around.

00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:49.840
- I was right around.

00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:51.599
- I walked on the moon.

00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:55.639
Also welcome new Patreon.

00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.599
We had three people sign up for our Patreon, which is amazing.

00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:08.520
So welcome and thank you to Dorian, Ginger, and our man, Sean, who was nice enough and silly enough to sign up for the Michael Keaton tier, which means he gets to recommend a movie for us.

00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:09.360
- Boy, did he.

00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.840
- We're gonna have that episode out, fear of a black cat.

00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:13.479
- Sean's request.

00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.639
Either on Patreon or on the main feed, here pretty soon.

00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.759
- Not only did I never hear of that movie, but I'm so glad he told me about it.

00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:20.920
- Me too.

00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:22.759
I would've had a really long wormhole.

00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:23.959
It's completely ludicrous, but yes.

00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:24.800
- Rabbit hole?

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:26.519
- Do I ever-- - I always say wormhole.

00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:27.519
- I think you've your ways fine.

00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:29.399
I think wormhole takes you to another dimension.

00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:31.199
- Yeah. - It takes you down where the rabbits live.

00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:35.959
- Who cares? - Yeah, no, I think rabbit hole, like Wonderland, like you just gone, I think I've always said wormhole.

00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:37.120
- I think both are fine.

00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:41.560
- There's probably people driving, listening to this podcast, going, what the, why is he saying wormhole?

00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:42.600
- Yeah, does Jonas listen?

00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.480
'Cause he's definitely be yelling at the, it's rabbit hole.

00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:46.319
- Yes.

00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.040
- Yeah, Jonas would love this podcast.

00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:49.560
- Scooner is a sailor. - He did a messaging.

00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:51.040
- Yeah, let him know.

00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:52.040
I always forget to.

00:04:52.040 --> 00:05:01.240
- Also, if anybody else wants to check out Patreon, we just released the 1989 Tim Burton Batman, and we're about to release by the time this episode comes out, we will have released any of the Jones in the last year.

00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:03.120
- You're safe, that was so fun.

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:04.879
- Yeah, it's got it so good.

00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:10.879
And so we're trying to get crank out some more Patreon 1989 movies while Jeff is off school for the summer.

00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:11.879
- Yeah.

00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.240
- Probably coming up, feel the dreams, uncle blocks, and stuff like that from 1989.

00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:16.639
But we'll be doing that.

00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.759
All right, dude, I got, I wanted to line up a guest for us.

00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.439
I reached out to a couple people from the movie, it wasn't able to do it.

00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:26.720
But I did find someone pretty good, die hard Cubs fan.

00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:27.560
- What?

00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:28.639
- In turn Mike Jones.

00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.879
- Oh no, Mike Jones.

00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:31.720
- Hey.

00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:34.240
- What is going on?

00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:35.560
- What's up yo?

00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.160
- Dude you were in a Cubs hat.

00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:39.319
- I know for the movie.

00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:41.600
- How did you have one? Did you go by one?

00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:43.199
- I did, I love the Cubs.

00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:44.120
- Okay.

00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:48.120
- Wait Jones, did you, you didn't see Terminator 2?

00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:48.620
Nope.

00:05:48.620 --> 00:05:50.459
But you have seen this movie.

00:05:50.459 --> 00:05:50.959
Yes.

00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:51.459
Long time ago.

00:05:51.459 --> 00:05:54.259
Was this one of the high points that being a Cubs fan?

00:05:54.259 --> 00:05:55.560
No.

00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:57.720
2016, right?

00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:58.839
That was the high point.

00:05:58.839 --> 00:05:59.360
Yep.

00:05:59.360 --> 00:05:59.860
Yeah.

00:05:59.860 --> 00:06:00.360
Yeah.

00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:00.360
Yeah.

00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:06.519
My life, anyway, like maybe 1908 had--[INAUDIBLE]--and into this movie, they did win the World Series.

00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:09.920
So I feel like as a Cubs fan in the '90s, this was maybe one of the high points.

00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.120
It was kind of like a mockery of like, what would happen?

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:14.199
Yeah.

00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:15.360
Right.

00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:20.160
Yeah, you needed a medical miracle and a sixth grader to pitch you to the pitch to the World Series.

00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:25.800
- And then to get a guy stuck between the doors, between two rooms, stuck like...

00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.920
- Not a guy, but Brickmuff, put some respect on Brickmuff's name.

00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:29.759
- Yeah, yeah.

00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:31.279
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:35.959
- No, dude, that is so great that you're here.

00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:38.560
I've missed talking to Mike Jones, this is awesome.

00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:39.560
- Thank you.

00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:40.560
I appreciate that.

00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:42.480

00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:47.480

Yeah- Ah, that's freaking great.

So dude, how much do you like this movie?

00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:18.759
Can we ask my Jones where he rates it?

00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:19.759
- Yeah.

00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:20.600
- Yeah.

00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:23.519

00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:24.360
- Four.

00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:28.360
- Is it because they win the World Series and it makes you feel--- I didn't like the kid.

00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.720
As I remember, like looking back, like I just wanted to punch him the whole time.

00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:32.720
- Yeah, that's a thing.

00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:34.759
- He had a pretty punchable face for a kid.

00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:36.000
Yeah.

00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:38.839
Wait, Jones, I gotta ask you this'cause you like baseball still.

00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.480
Why are baseball movies so much better than real baseball?

00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.720
'cause it includes locker room hijinks, which I think is really fun.

00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:47.360
- Yeah, I guess, man.

00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:49.040
But like, I was the field stuff.

00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:49.879
Yeah.

00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:56.279
I can make a list of 10 amazing baseball movies, and I've been to 50 baseball games, and I've never had a good time not as any one of them.

00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:57.920
- You've never had a good time at a baseball game?

00:07:57.920 --> 00:07:59.800
- I have, but never during the baseball.

00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:07.160
No, we went to the Astros game, Me, You, Jeff, and Will, and we had like $18 hot dogs, and we ate all that hot dogs.

00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.720
So that part was awesome, but who won that game?

00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:10.720
Jones, do you remember?

00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:11.560
- The cup.

00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:13.399
course you don't because it didn't matter at all.

00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.480
What you remember is that we ate 18 hot dogs.

00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:19.120
Like it doesn't the game doesn't matter at all.

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:24.319
The other thing I remember in Houston was snake, aka Rob Schwamm.

00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:27.759
Yeah. And I went to a game when we were interns like actual real interns.

00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:29.399
Real interns doing real stuff.

00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.720
So Sammy, so say hello, run.

00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.480
So I remember one of the game, but I remember that.

00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:40.039
Yeah. Yes, snakes snakes wife Molly is a faithful listener to the podcast.

00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:41.399
- Snakes.

00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:48.919
- I don't think knows how to do podcasts, but everyone's wanting to tell you what, he'll text me and say like,"Molly, maybe listen to your podcast, it was awesome."(laughing)- Made?

00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:49.759
- Yeah, made.

00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:50.600
- He had to be forced to.

00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:53.039
- Yeah, I think like she was driving the car and he was stuck in it.

00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:56.039
(laughing)- Dude, how many people tell me that?

00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:00.480
They're like, "Yeah, I do listen to your podcast'cause my husband made me listen to it." It's pretty funny.

00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:04.159
I was like, "Oh man, so sorry."- I download every one of them.

00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.519
I wouldn't say that I've listened to everyone.

00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:07.360
- No, you do, man.

00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:08.200
- But I download them.

00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:09.559
- You're doing the important thing, down the line.

00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:10.559
- Really appreciate that.

00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:11.759
- Really appreciate it.

00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:14.559
- Wait, Mike, what's your all time favorite baseball movie?

00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:15.919
- How about top three?

00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:17.799
- As a kid it was the natural.

00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:19.879
- Oh, dude, such a good one.

00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:21.480
Have you watched it though since you grew up?

00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:27.480
- I have not watched it probably since, yeah, early 80s or late 80s, maybe it was the last time I watched it.

00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:28.919
- Dude, it's a way different movie.

00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:32.159
'Cause you're thinking like, oh, it hit the lights and he's running under the sparks.

00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:33.000
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:39.960
- He hit the upper deck and the polo grants and it broke the clock or some, you're thinking of all that And that is a small part of the movie, dude.

00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:41.080
It's so different.

00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:41.919
It's really good.

00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:42.759
- Yeah.

00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:43.600
- You should watch it.

00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:44.440
- Yeah, feel the dreams.

00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:48.279
I also remember in the natural when he made the bat out of the tree that got hit.

00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:49.120
- Oh yeah.

00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:49.960
- That was a cool thing.

00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:55.759
I like, I've always thought as a kid, like, yeah, I could just go cut down a tree and make a bat and be like, yeah, it's gonna be easy.

00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:57.679
- You wanna know why he was able to do that?

00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:00.039
'Cause it was the incomparable Robert Redford.

00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.759
(laughing) I love Robert Redford.

00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:05.360
All right, so natural and feel the dreams.

00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:06.559
- Feel the dreams.

00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:10.399
It's gotta be in there and then I think Major League, you gotta get the comedy out of you too.

00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:12.759
- Does Sandlot make the cut anywhere in the top 10?

00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:14.000
No bull Durham.

00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:15.340
- Who bull Durham?

00:10:15.340 --> 00:10:18.720
- Sandlot, they're gonna be in there, but I don't think they're top three.

00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:20.279
I think I'm gonna stick my top three.

00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:28.159
- Yeah, I put Bull Durham in over field of dreams if I gotta pick a Kevin Costner baseball movie'cause Bull Durham's freaking hilarious.

00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:29.919
What's the third Kevin Costner movie?

00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:31.200
There's one where he's the pitcher.

00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:32.440
- For Love of the Game.

00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:33.279
- For Love of the Game.

00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:34.759
- And that's where you're the mechanism.

00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:35.919
- Yes, yes.

00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.360
That's a romantic comedy masquerading as a baseball movie.

00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:40.559
That's fine with me.

00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:42.720
Yeah, except they forgot the comedy part.

00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.200
That's why it's better than an actual baseball game, though.

00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:46.240
I kind of want that hat.

00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:47.440
Can I come steal that hat?

00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:48.240
I'm so sick.

00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.720
Dude, I'm gonna find where I got it and then I'm gonna get your address and I'm gonna send you one.

00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:54.960
It'd be your first payment for two years of intern.

00:10:54.960 --> 00:11:00.000
Right, we still gotta do the live show.

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:00.480
One day.

00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:01.279
And steal your hat.

00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:06.120
When my kids move out, so 15 years you know,- Yes.

00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:10.279
- And I'll be awesome, we'll be doing movies from 2008.

00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:12.200
- Oh my gosh.

00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:13.600
- We'll be doing the hangover.

00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:15.000
- Oof, that's a good one.

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:15.960
- It is a good one.

00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:17.639
Very highly inappropriate.

00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:20.720
(laughing)- We're never gonna make it.

00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:23.600
- Thank you, never gonna live long off Smeak 2008 or?

00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:25.639
- All of the above, yes.

00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:26.480
- Yes, all of that.

00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:29.759
- Jeff's convinced he's on Dev's store, even though he's only 45.

00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:32.720
- 44, I'll be 45 in August.

00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:34.200
- Yeah, in like three weeks.

00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:35.720
And like, yeah dude, 99 will do the matrix.

00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:36.720
It's like, not gonna make it.

00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:38.080
It's not gonna make it six years.

00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:38.919
What are you talking about?

00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:42.399
(laughing)- Dude, I might.

00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.679
- I've been stretching, I've been drinking a lot of water.

00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:49.200
- All right Jones, what else you got for us anything?

00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:51.159
Any message for the podcast?

00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:52.840
We haven't heard from you in a year.

00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:54.320
- That's up in that one?

00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:55.320
- I don't know, I can't remember.

00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:58.279
- I feel like I haven't worked a lot on the podcast.

00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:02.480
(laughing)- Long nights.

00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:04.159
Staying up late, doing that.

00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:08.440
- Yeah. - I do a lot of the behind the scenes where-- - Yeah.

00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.759
- Yeah, down in the salt mines, working on the podcast behind the scenes.

00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:12.600
- I got nothing.

00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:14.759
I can't think of anything for wise to say.

00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:15.919
- Have you seen Jurassic Park?

00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:18.799
That's the biggest movie this year, $900 million.

00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:20.159
- I mean, I saw it back in the day.

00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:23.639
I haven't watched it again because--- Okay, but you did see it at one point in time.

00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:24.840
- Yes, I have seen it at one point in time.

00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:26.639
- Okay, it's the one about dinosaurs.

00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:30.039
(laughing) I don't think I've seen all the Chris Pratt ones.

00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:31.200
- You're not missing anything.

00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:34.600
- I just wanna make sure that Dustin knows that you did see Jurassic Park at some point.

00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:39.000
(laughing)- All right Jones, good to see you, buddy.

00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:40.919
- All right. - Just to email you a hat.

00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:41.759
Later, dude.

00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:43.240
- See you guys in your fire.

00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:44.080
- Thanks.

00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:49.679
(laughing)- Freakin' Jones, I love Jones.

00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:52.440
- Yeah, that guy has a tattoo of the Chicago Cubs.

00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.240
So I thought for sure he would really like this movie, but turns out he's, he did not take it at all.

00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:00.200
- Here's like three, four, maybe, I don't, that's it.

00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:01.039
- That's great.

00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:04.120
- I thought he was gonna say this was an amazing moment as a Cubist fan, but he didn't like it at all.

00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:07.440
- No, you know what, to be honest, I could kinda see that.

00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:08.440
- Yeah.

00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:15.399
I just liked how when you wrote this movie, you could only have it be the Cubs,'cause there's like nobody in the stadium, the team's terrible.

00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:19.559
It's like how can we make this movie 18 months from now that we're sure when we film it, they'll still be terrible.

00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:22.039
It's like, oh, well, it's gonna be the Cubs.

00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:27.799
- Yeah, did you see how they actually filmed some of those wriggly field shots between a double header?

00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:29.559
- Yeah, yeah, that's great.

00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:30.679
- Yeah, dude, I love when they do that.

00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:34.379
Everybody's already there for a game and for the Cubs fans, it's like not really there.

00:13:34.379 --> 00:13:35.799
Just a couple of people are there and it's okay.

00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:38.840
Before the next game starts, we're gonna film Daniel Stern's gonna be out there.

00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:40.039
The kids gonna be out there.

00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:51.120
Yeah, and they're like, you had to chant like a "We Want Henry" and all the Cardinals fans were saying "We Want Ozzy." So they kept having to go, "All right, cut."[laughter] It's very good.

00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:54.120
I like that. That's a good way to do it.

00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:58.480
All right, for real though, I don't understand why baseball movies are so much better than other sports movies.

00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:04.360
There's something about baseball that lends itself to the medium of film and I don't know what it is.

00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:10.519
Do you have any theories? Yeah, I do. So I think Jones is right. Not only is it the off-the-field stuff is nice to see.

00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:17.279
When was the last time you sat there for the whole two and a half hours and you only got through one baseball game?

00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:36.759
Like it's sped up and like every time you know The guy's up to bat and he swings and he misses and he steps back out of the batter's box and he does his Velcro and his thing, he checks his chain, he spits a couple of times, he straightens out his jacket and then he gets back up there and gets ready to hit again.

00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:38.360
Like we didn't see all that.

00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:44.720
We were like inside Kevin Koster's head here and him going clear the mechanism and watching that kind of stuff happen.

00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:46.360
So I think that's what, 'cause I'm with you.

00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:47.759
I love baseball movies.

00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:48.919
- I think that's an important part of it.

00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:53.840
I think the fact that baseball is played without a clock is an important part of it because it allows you to build tension.

00:14:53.840 --> 00:15:00.480
I think the other thing that I came up with that I think is an important part of it is that baseball is really an individual sport masquerading as a team sport.

00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:03.759
It's the pitcher versus the batter, but really there's also a bunch of other people there.

00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:10.120
So you can have stuff where it's like everybody comments, like what, we need live chicken, live chicken, cannoes six make a nice gift.

00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:18.039
All right, let's get to, like you can have the scenes with the whole ensemble, but then it's just back to like crash and nuke just to people or whatever.

00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:21.940
But you can also do like, you're saying like, build dramatic tension where the guys like steps out of the batter's box.

00:15:21.940 --> 00:15:25.120
They messes with his gloves and we go to the announcers and they say something.

00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:25.940
- Right.

00:15:25.940 --> 00:15:27.240
- By the way, there is a clock now though.

00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:28.580
There's a pitching clock.

00:15:28.580 --> 00:15:29.419
- Another is.

00:15:29.419 --> 00:15:30.259
- Yeah.

00:15:30.259 --> 00:15:31.100
- Praise Buddha, it's long overdue.

00:15:31.100 --> 00:15:31.940
- Yeah, I'm saying like.

00:15:31.940 --> 00:15:33.340
- Step it up, make it even shorter than that.

00:15:33.340 --> 00:15:39.779
- But football and basketball are sports that I like way, way more than baseball, but there's not nearly as many good football and basketball movies.

00:15:39.779 --> 00:15:41.139
What's the best football movie?

00:15:41.139 --> 00:15:43.019
The original longest yard?

00:15:43.019 --> 00:15:44.100
- Any given Sunday.

00:15:44.100 --> 00:15:44.940
- Any given Sunday?

00:15:44.940 --> 00:15:46.460
That's great, but like.

00:15:46.460 --> 00:15:48.299
- That's Oliver Stone's dramatic.

00:15:48.299 --> 00:15:49.539
- It's super gritty.

00:15:49.539 --> 00:15:50.860
- Yeah, super bad.

00:15:50.860 --> 00:15:55.980
Like it's like-- - And then basketball, like there's, I mean, blue chips.

00:15:55.980 --> 00:15:57.419
- Blue chips. - Hoosiers.

00:15:57.419 --> 00:16:00.379
Like there's not like--- What was the second one you said?

00:16:00.379 --> 00:16:01.220
- Hoosiers.

00:16:01.220 --> 00:16:02.220
- Hoosiers, yeah.

00:16:02.220 --> 00:16:06.419
I wasn't a huge, I liked it, but I didn't really like it that much.

00:16:06.419 --> 00:16:10.899
- Like my favorite basketball movie, if I can count it as a basketball movie, as white men can't jump by a thousand miles.

00:16:10.899 --> 00:16:12.259
- Yeah, that's a basketball movie.

00:16:12.259 --> 00:16:13.100
What about Space Jam?

00:16:13.100 --> 00:16:14.860
Is that a basketball movie?

00:16:14.860 --> 00:16:16.779
- Space Jam is a product placement.

00:16:16.779 --> 00:16:17.940
- For Warner Brothers.

00:16:17.940 --> 00:16:19.299
- Primarily.

00:16:19.299 --> 00:16:28.299
But yeah, man, something about baseball just lends itself to film and you can just make great, you can also make great golf movies and great boxing movies'cause there's multiple of each of those sports.

00:16:28.299 --> 00:16:33.460
But for whatever reason, football and basketball, I think there's just too much stuff happening like in the games.

00:16:33.460 --> 00:16:37.139
- Yeah, there's not enough time to cut away to something to watch it.

00:16:37.139 --> 00:16:40.580
'Cause think about like, like we did necessary roughness.

00:16:40.580 --> 00:16:49.259
Remember in the very end and they were in the huddle, he's like, all right, I promise you, if we get into that end zone, all your pains can disappear and like, dude,- 40 second clock is way up.

00:16:49.259 --> 00:16:51.379
- Yeah, you guys are already taking a penalty.

00:16:51.379 --> 00:16:56.940
- Yeah, so like--- Yeah, and you also have to find, it's really hard for a football, and a football movie to find stuff for everybody to do.

00:16:56.940 --> 00:17:01.779
Like the kicker has to have her moment, and then the big Simone guys,'cause you're never gonna touch you.

00:17:01.779 --> 00:17:03.419
I guess it's a lot of-- - Let's do that movie again.

00:17:03.419 --> 00:17:04.259
I liked it.

00:17:04.259 --> 00:17:09.019
(laughing)- I'll call Marvin and see if he wants to do one more go around a necessary reference.

00:17:09.019 --> 00:17:09.900
- Yeah, yeah.

00:17:09.900 --> 00:17:12.339
Dude, I, I think you're right.

00:17:12.339 --> 00:17:14.180
I think it's because there's--- Not a queasy thing at T.

00:17:14.180 --> 00:17:16.940
(laughing)- In China.

00:17:16.940 --> 00:17:19.299
So I think you're right.

00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:26.819
I think there's enough space and time downtime, I guess, for baseball and even golf.

00:17:26.819 --> 00:17:35.059
- There's something about some sports just lend themselves to being made into good like compelling movies and football and basketball just don't in the way that boxing and golf and baseball do.

00:17:35.059 --> 00:17:38.740
- Yeah, what about hockey's too fast-paced, soccer's too fast-paced.

00:17:38.740 --> 00:17:40.940
- Hockey's too fast-paced, soccer's too fast-paced.

00:17:40.940 --> 00:17:42.900
- Nobody watches those anyway, right?

00:17:42.900 --> 00:17:44.819
- No, just the entire whole entire world.

00:17:44.819 --> 00:17:46.299
- Yeah, everyone.

00:17:46.299 --> 00:17:49.420
So we need to work on our script for a baseball movie.

00:17:49.420 --> 00:17:52.700
- We could, I don't know anything about baseball, but I'm sure we don't think we need to.

00:17:52.700 --> 00:17:54.859
- All right, you can just float it like scruffing.

00:17:54.859 --> 00:17:55.859
- Just scruffing McGee.

00:17:55.859 --> 00:17:57.980
- All right, see, in a float or pitch, just scruffing McGee.

00:17:57.980 --> 00:18:01.180
(laughing) All right, give us the synopsis.

00:18:01.180 --> 00:18:14.539
- Rook of the Year is a 1993 Family Sports Comedy Film about a 12 year old, Henry Rowan Gardener, who after breaking his arm and healing with extraordinary pitching abilities, become the youngest player ever signed by the struggling Chicago Cups.

00:18:14.539 --> 00:18:15.380
- Oh man.

00:18:15.380 --> 00:18:17.019
- Rosenberger got in there.

00:18:17.019 --> 00:18:21.619
Dude, I wrote down every single time he said a different name and I have them all written down.

00:18:21.619 --> 00:18:22.619
- All right, that's perfect.

00:18:22.619 --> 00:18:23.700
- Can I go through them right quick?

00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:24.539
- Yeah, you wanna do it right now?

00:18:24.539 --> 00:18:26.059
- Yeah, yeah, kiddo.

00:18:26.059 --> 00:18:34.980
All right, we got Ruin Ferder, Robin Booser, Rosenberger, Garden Hozer, Rhino Mucker, Ruin Gardener, Rosenberger.

00:18:34.980 --> 00:18:37.299
- Those were all, and he called them Ruin Gardener one time.

00:18:37.299 --> 00:18:39.180
- And he called them Ruin Gardener one time when I freaked him out.

00:18:39.180 --> 00:18:44.140
- Yeah, and that's Albert Hall who's the guy, he's an apocalypse now, he's in major pain,- Yeah, he's in Malcolm X.

00:18:44.140 --> 00:18:45.180
He's in a bunch of stuff.

00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:46.900
- Yeah, he's been around.

00:18:46.900 --> 00:18:51.859
Dude, when I just listed those, all I could think of was Eddie Azard.

00:18:51.859 --> 00:19:00.059
All right, we got Zinglebrirt Bimble Deck, Tingle Bird Bingle Deck, Slut Bunwala, Klingibund, Fisty Bands, Englebrirt Humberding, Zinglebrirt Bingle Bank.

00:19:00.059 --> 00:19:00.900
Why don't we go back one?

00:19:00.900 --> 00:19:02.539
- We'll go back one.

00:19:02.539 --> 00:19:03.380
- No, Jerry D'Ollsea.

00:19:03.380 --> 00:19:04.579
I like Jerry D'Ollsea.

00:19:04.579 --> 00:19:06.339
- Yeah, no, he died.

00:19:06.339 --> 00:19:07.180
- No, he died.

00:19:07.180 --> 00:19:08.019
- No, he's fine.

00:19:08.019 --> 00:19:08.859
- He's fine, no.

00:19:08.859 --> 00:19:09.700
- No, no, he died.

00:19:09.700 --> 00:19:10.539
- No, he died.

00:19:10.539 --> 00:19:15.940
(laughing)- Incompetent, they're very few, humped in Britain.

00:19:15.940 --> 00:19:19.779
(laughing)- Yeah, that's the ASNOPSIS.

00:19:19.779 --> 00:19:23.380
It's a completely ludicrous premise, but it also kind of works,'cause it's a Disney movie.

00:19:23.380 --> 00:19:24.220
- Yeah, it does.

00:19:24.220 --> 00:19:26.099
- Like angels in the Alfield and all that, all those weird like kids movies.

00:19:26.099 --> 00:19:29.740
Like, yeah, he falls down, then suddenly he can throw the ball really fast, and then the cops sign him.

00:19:29.740 --> 00:19:49.539
That part's not weird at all, by the way, because if you read through the history of baseball teams, signing people just on a lark to get people to come and watch, they're actually where baseball teams in the, I wanna say it was maybe 1800s or early 1900s, Like signed a, what's the politically correct term for someone who's not very tall, like genetically, little person.

00:19:49.539 --> 00:19:50.539
- A little person, yes.

00:19:50.539 --> 00:19:52.380
- No, I thought that was not politically correct.

00:19:52.380 --> 00:19:54.500
- No, I think little persons what they want.

00:19:54.500 --> 00:20:01.420
- Okay, so like actually signed a little person because they keep getting on base because they had no strike zone.

00:20:01.420 --> 00:20:02.259
- Oh man.

00:20:02.259 --> 00:20:06.339
- Like there's just like a history of Major League Baseball is exactly, is full of stories like that.

00:20:06.339 --> 00:20:11.339
So if there was a 12 year old who could throw 103 miles an hour, a Major League team would absolutely sign him.

00:20:11.339 --> 00:20:15.140
Is there no age thing for the baseball?

00:20:15.140 --> 00:20:17.180
Is there an age thing for the other sports?

00:20:17.180 --> 00:20:18.019
Yeah.

00:20:18.019 --> 00:20:18.859
I don't know.

00:20:18.859 --> 00:20:20.460
Don't you have to go to college for basketball?

00:20:20.460 --> 00:20:24.579
Yeah, I think NFL and NBA for sure, you have to be a certain age baseball.

00:20:24.579 --> 00:20:25.460
I don't know, maybe not.

00:20:25.460 --> 00:20:26.259
Maybe so.

00:20:26.259 --> 00:20:27.099
Who knows?

00:20:27.099 --> 00:20:27.940
That's amazing.

00:20:27.940 --> 00:20:29.900
The things I don't know about baseball is everything.

00:20:29.900 --> 00:20:30.740
All of it.

00:20:30.740 --> 00:20:31.900
Yeah.

00:20:31.900 --> 00:20:38.779
Yeah, dude, we went to a baseball game this past week in the AAA affiliate in Nashville, and it's the Nashville sounds, and they were all wearing uniforms.

00:20:38.779 --> 00:20:47.079
It said, "Hot chicken." And I was like, "Why is the name different?" And I just, I had to ask a guy next to me who had a sound tattoo.

00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:53.079
I was like, "Dude, what's going on with the names?" He's like, "Oh, they just do different jerseys"sometimes just to sell more stuff." I was like, "Oh, that makes sense." That's a great idea.

00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:53.920
- That's a lot of chicken.

00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:55.200
It's pretty delicious though.

00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:56.680
- Yeah, really?

00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:03.240
- Yeah, what's the appeal of like,"Oh, it's like regular chicken"s have it makes fire shoot out of your butthole?" Okay, why?

00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:06.200
- Dude, I thought it tasted good.

00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:09.920
I mean, I didn't also, I didn't pick the very top hot.

00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:12.119
Dude, I never picked the very top, but I don't know.

00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:13.059
It's like, are you kidding me?

00:21:13.059 --> 00:21:19.279
Every time we go to Buffalo Wild Wings, you could blazing sauce and you're dipping like, stuffing it and you're like licking your fingers.

00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:21.359
I was like, oh my God, how's he doing that?

00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:26.279
- No, no, I get the hot sauce, but then I just, I take the tenders and I just wave them over the top of it.

00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:27.720
Never actually make contacts.

00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:28.839
It's go with spicy.

00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:30.440
Oh man.

00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:32.160
- It's like infused water.

00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:33.000
- Yeah, yeah.

00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:35.160
- It's like this is water that leaned up against a watermelon at one point.

00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:41.819
(laughing) Anyway, this movie, $10 million budget grossed$56.5 million.

00:21:41.819 --> 00:21:42.660
- That's pretty good.

00:21:42.660 --> 00:21:43.660
- Which is number 22 on the year.

00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:44.859
That's incredible.

00:21:44.859 --> 00:21:46.259
- That's pretty good for this kind of minute.

00:21:46.259 --> 00:21:49.819
- Dude, this thing is right behind Cystrak 2 Demolition Man in Tombstone.

00:21:49.819 --> 00:21:50.660
- Nice.

00:21:50.660 --> 00:21:54.779
- The 93 movies release schedule was absolutely in bananas.

00:21:54.779 --> 00:21:56.220
So many good movies still coming.

00:21:56.220 --> 00:21:57.700
- No, it really was good.

00:21:57.700 --> 00:22:02.859
And this came out in the summer when all the kids were off, so I could see everybody going to see this.

00:22:02.859 --> 00:22:07.980
I did mark down what the approval rating was though,'cause you know, I now look that up after.

00:22:07.980 --> 00:22:08.779
- Yes, pretty low.

00:22:08.779 --> 00:22:10.859
- Yeah, way lower than I thought.

00:22:10.859 --> 00:22:11.700
- I did too.

00:22:11.700 --> 00:22:13.740
I got 38% on Rotten Tomatoes, what I saw.

00:22:13.740 --> 00:22:14.740
- Yeah.

00:22:14.740 --> 00:22:18.539
- I mean, Rotten Tomatoes is like, Rotten Tomatoes comes out 20 years after this movie is made.

00:22:18.539 --> 00:22:22.859
So it's not like this is people in the moment going, "That movie was, let me go to the internet"and type in what I thought.

00:22:22.859 --> 00:22:25.380
"There was no internet in '93."- Yeah, yeah.

00:22:25.380 --> 00:22:28.180
Did they not take like old film reviews though from that?

00:22:28.180 --> 00:22:29.019
Or no?

00:22:29.019 --> 00:22:30.019
- I think they did.

00:22:30.019 --> 00:22:37.099
But then the Rotten Tomatoes critic review was an average of 4.9, oh, out of 10.

00:22:37.099 --> 00:22:38.259
Okay, that's not so good.

00:22:38.259 --> 00:22:43.359
(laughing) 4.9 to 5.

00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:44.640
- That's a 10, nevermind.

00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:45.559
- Yeah.

00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:48.740
- Ebert gave it three out of 11 stars, and that's three out of four stars.

00:22:48.740 --> 00:22:49.579
- Yeah, yeah.

00:22:49.579 --> 00:22:55.099
Ebert, though, he remembered playing baseball and sucking, and he was like, it brought me back, so that's awesome.

00:22:55.099 --> 00:22:59.500
- Yeah, well, and remember in Ebert, I can definitely see him as a baseball player who wasn't very good.

00:22:59.500 --> 00:23:00.599
- Turn around.

00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:01.599
- Oh, just some of the way around.

00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:02.440
- Just some of the way around.

00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:03.640
- So not all the way around.

00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:04.900
- Great.

00:23:04.900 --> 00:23:06.259
- Good, Jerry.

00:23:06.259 --> 00:23:07.099
- Or Jerry.

00:23:07.099 --> 00:23:07.940
- They're both favorite.

00:23:07.940 --> 00:23:08.779
- It's one of the most famous.

00:23:08.779 --> 00:23:09.599
- More favorite.

00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:11.740
It's another favorite, just not as much.

00:23:11.740 --> 00:23:12.579
Not as much favorite.

00:23:12.579 --> 00:23:13.980
- Good eye, Brian.

00:23:13.980 --> 00:23:14.980
- Good eye, Brian.

00:23:14.980 --> 00:23:18.539
- Oh my God, all right.

00:23:18.539 --> 00:23:19.380
- SQL's spin-offs.

00:23:19.380 --> 00:23:20.859
Did this have some like direct to video?

00:23:20.859 --> 00:23:21.700
- No, I didn't.

00:23:21.700 --> 00:23:22.539
- I didn't see any.

00:23:22.539 --> 00:23:23.900
- I didn't see any though.

00:23:23.900 --> 00:23:26.099
- I didn't either, but I feel like it should have had that.

00:23:26.099 --> 00:23:27.259
He was an American pie.

00:23:27.259 --> 00:23:29.420
You think that was a spin-off or no?

00:23:29.420 --> 00:23:31.500
- No, I don't think that was in the same universe.

00:23:31.500 --> 00:23:34.859
Do you remember when you first saw this?

00:23:34.859 --> 00:23:35.779
- I do, I don't.

00:23:35.779 --> 00:23:38.900
I do remember we had this on, like, we didn't buy the VHS.

00:23:38.900 --> 00:23:44.700
This was when we recorded off of HBO and like, in my dad's handwriting, it said rookie of the year.

00:23:44.700 --> 00:23:47.740
And I remember watching it a bunch, but we didn't own it.

00:23:47.740 --> 00:23:48.859
So I don't remember where I saw it.

00:23:48.859 --> 00:23:50.140
I don't think I saw this in the theater.

00:23:50.140 --> 00:23:56.619
Yeah, I didn't see it in the theater and we didn't own it, but I feel like we must have rented it multiple times'cause I had, or it came on TV a lot, one of the two.

00:23:56.619 --> 00:23:58.059
Did it come on the Disney Channel a bunch maybe?

00:23:58.059 --> 00:23:59.420
Because I'm like watching it.

00:23:59.420 --> 00:24:00.420
I'm like, dude, I remember all of this.

00:24:00.420 --> 00:24:02.940
This Disney, I thought this was Fox.

00:24:02.940 --> 00:24:04.740
I thought this was 20th Century Fox.

00:24:04.740 --> 00:24:08.920
- Well, it's 20th Century Fox, but 20th Century Fox is owned by Disney.

00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:09.940
- Yeah, but that's recent.

00:24:09.940 --> 00:24:10.940
- Yeah, I guess so.

00:24:10.940 --> 00:24:18.819
- Because the only reason I say that is because when they were talking to Daniel Stern, they wanted Joe Pesci to play some part.

00:24:18.819 --> 00:24:22.900
They were like, "Hey, can he play Rocket?" Or can he play something?

00:24:22.900 --> 00:24:33.180
And Daniel Stern was like, "Look, I don't want this to be thought of as the same universe as home alone." It was bad enough that they wanted McCulloch and to play the lead.

00:24:33.180 --> 00:24:37.019
- Yeah, so if it was 20th century Fox, it wouldn't have been on the Disney Channel.

00:24:37.019 --> 00:24:38.180
What would have been on?

00:24:38.180 --> 00:24:40.259
- I don't know, TVS, I have no.

00:24:40.259 --> 00:24:42.779
- TVS or something, but anyway, I saw it a bunch.

00:24:42.779 --> 00:24:44.900
'Cause when I watched it, I remembered it really well.

00:24:44.900 --> 00:24:48.859
And also I quoted this movie, like, I mean, still to this day, but all through high school.

00:24:48.859 --> 00:24:50.140
- Oh, big time.

00:24:50.140 --> 00:24:54.740
- Like the number of times I said,"Ha, ice, you heat up the ice."- It's the best of both worlds.

00:24:54.740 --> 00:24:56.900
- Yeah, dude, the, you give me the big stuff.

00:24:56.900 --> 00:25:00.220
Like I can remember,- You got that big doggy.

00:25:00.220 --> 00:25:01.059
- Yeah.

00:25:01.059 --> 00:25:03.019
- Yeah, all of those things, I can remember saying those a lot.

00:25:03.019 --> 00:25:03.859
So yeah.

00:25:03.859 --> 00:25:04.980
- He had freaking brick my stuff.

00:25:04.980 --> 00:25:05.819
He's so good.

00:25:05.819 --> 00:25:06.900
- Yeah, he's good.

00:25:06.900 --> 00:25:07.900
- Where do you rate this?

00:25:07.900 --> 00:25:08.900
- Dude, I thought it was fun.

00:25:08.900 --> 00:25:13.420
I gave it 6.5 chimis, 'cause I couldn't give it seven and that's right where it landed for me.

00:25:13.420 --> 00:25:14.259
- Yeah.

00:25:14.259 --> 00:25:16.259
- Dude, I think that's an excellent place to rate it.

00:25:16.259 --> 00:25:17.339
I got it eight and a half.

00:25:17.339 --> 00:25:18.180
- What?

00:25:18.180 --> 00:25:19.019
- Nice.

00:25:19.019 --> 00:25:25.500
- It's just really fun and I had it at eight and I was like, I got a bump at just 'cause I had five brickma quotes that I still say all the time.

00:25:25.500 --> 00:25:28.700
So I just got a half chimmy dog, just brickma bump.

00:25:28.700 --> 00:25:30.299
'Cause it's so quotable.

00:25:30.299 --> 00:25:35.380
- I, but thinking about it, man, It's still really, it's got really legitimately funny parts.

00:25:35.380 --> 00:25:36.220
It does.

00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:37.059
It's got some heart.

00:25:37.059 --> 00:25:38.059
It's got a good storyline.

00:25:38.059 --> 00:25:39.059
It's well acted.

00:25:39.059 --> 00:25:40.059
Yeah.

00:25:40.059 --> 00:25:41.059
It's just a fun movie, man.

00:25:41.059 --> 00:25:42.059
Did your kids watch this?

00:25:42.059 --> 00:25:43.059
Yeah, they watched it with me.

00:25:43.059 --> 00:25:44.059
They loved it.

00:25:44.059 --> 00:25:45.059
That's what I'm saying.

00:25:45.059 --> 00:25:48.059
You could just put a 10-year-old in front of this movie and they could have a fun time for two hours.

00:25:48.059 --> 00:25:50.059
I literally asked them at the end.

00:25:50.059 --> 00:25:53.859
I was like, "All right, what was wrong with the movie?" And Jake's like, "It was fun.

00:25:53.859 --> 00:25:58.859
I liked it." And she's just like, "I liked it too." She's like, "I like the funny guy." I was like, "Yeah, yeah.

00:25:58.859 --> 00:25:59.859
I got it.

00:25:59.859 --> 00:26:05.019
He was super funny." The only thing she could think of that was wrong was their teeth.

00:26:05.019 --> 00:26:09.380
I was like, yeah, yeah, it was bothering the hell out of me too.

00:26:09.380 --> 00:26:10.299
I just didn't say anything.

00:26:10.299 --> 00:26:14.460
That was the only thing she could find wrong with it is that nobody had white teeth.

00:26:14.460 --> 00:26:16.859
Yes, the 90s that teeth looked like regular teeth.

00:26:16.859 --> 00:26:20.619
It looked like freaking blind your reflection teeth.

00:26:20.619 --> 00:26:26.180
Yeah, but it's one thing to have like super white teeth like freaking Shannon Sharp.

00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:33.420
And it's another thing formed to be like, I just freaking switched around some red wine before I came to set and I'm ready.

00:26:33.420 --> 00:26:35.140
- Well dude, they're baseball players.

00:26:35.140 --> 00:26:37.140
They were chewing tobacco all day.

00:26:37.140 --> 00:26:38.460
- I wouldn't even try to be authentic.

00:26:38.460 --> 00:26:42.859
- I was talking about the mom and the boyfriend, George Costanza.

00:26:42.859 --> 00:26:46.740
- What is this, an oracle redden buyer?

00:26:46.740 --> 00:26:48.980
- The commercial with the early suckleaf people.

00:26:48.980 --> 00:26:50.579
- Get all these suckleaf people.

00:26:50.579 --> 00:26:53.059
- Man.

00:26:53.059 --> 00:26:54.579
- Yeah, so I gave it 6.5.

00:26:54.579 --> 00:26:56.259
8.5 is a lot higher than I thought.

00:26:56.259 --> 00:26:57.660
I can't believe you gave this thing.

00:26:57.660 --> 00:26:59.059
- It's higher than I thought too, honestly.

00:26:59.059 --> 00:27:01.539
I feel kind of guilty for it, but that was just my reaction in the moment.

00:27:01.539 --> 00:27:04.579
I was like, "Did it still really fun?"- Yeah. - And I just love Brickma so much.

00:27:04.579 --> 00:27:13.099
I think he's not only one of the best characters in this movie, but maybe one of the best comic sidekick characters in any sports movie of my life.

00:27:13.099 --> 00:27:15.819
- I liked all of the stuff he did.

00:27:15.819 --> 00:27:20.339
He was a little too goofy for me to put him in my top people.

00:27:20.339 --> 00:27:24.819
(laughing)- I could definitely see that now that I'm a grownup, but I just thought it was perfect.

00:27:24.819 --> 00:27:31.740
- Yeah, I can't believe he gave this an eight and a half- And you gave Cap Moran a negative three or whatever you gave it.

00:27:31.740 --> 00:27:33.660
- Oh, I still strongly stand by it.

00:27:33.660 --> 00:27:38.660
As much fun as I've had talking about Cap Moran since then, I still strongly stand by that rating.

00:27:38.660 --> 00:27:39.500
- Oh man.

00:27:39.500 --> 00:27:40.539
- What's your first scene?

00:27:40.539 --> 00:27:45.819
- All right, my very first scene is Henry has now started playing for the Cubs.

00:27:45.819 --> 00:27:48.579
So he's super popular.

00:27:48.579 --> 00:27:51.220
And he goes back to lunch at school.

00:27:51.220 --> 00:27:55.579
And they're sitting there and the girl that he likes is smiling at him.

00:27:55.579 --> 00:28:04.339
and his friend Roger, the big tall blonde hair kid, and the other kid Clark with the just ice cold Luke Skywalker haircut.

00:28:04.339 --> 00:28:07.500
They're sitting at the lunch table and I'm like, come on, let's just go over there.

00:28:07.500 --> 00:28:16.099
And Roger is sitting across from the other girl's friend, the blonde, and he's smiling from ear to ear, and she's smiling back at him.

00:28:16.099 --> 00:28:17.380
He's like, how's it going?

00:28:17.380 --> 00:28:18.380
How's it going?

00:28:18.380 --> 00:28:19.700
How's it going Tiffany?

00:28:19.700 --> 00:28:21.819
And she's like, hi Roger.

00:28:21.819 --> 00:28:23.180
He's like, not bad?

00:28:23.180 --> 00:28:24.099
All right, yeah.

00:28:24.099 --> 00:28:27.559
And the dude, the kid Clark Lane's over goes, she called you Roger.

00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:30.500
He's like, so, like he didn't know.

00:28:30.500 --> 00:28:32.700
You having meatloaf, meatloaf?

00:28:32.700 --> 00:28:34.559
Are you heard Jimmy Rogers gonna pencil stuck up?

00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:36.299
Dude, and then like, what's that thing?

00:28:36.299 --> 00:28:38.180
- The racer's still in there.

00:28:38.180 --> 00:28:40.059
- Yeah, they had to get pliers and everything.

00:28:40.059 --> 00:28:43.500
And he's carrying around the piece from the boat.

00:28:43.500 --> 00:28:45.259
And they're like, what's that thing Clark's carrying?

00:28:45.259 --> 00:28:46.460
He's like, oh, we have a boat.

00:28:46.460 --> 00:28:49.779
And then like, he's like, "Toda, take a ride.

00:28:49.779 --> 00:28:54.579
Tell her you're gonna take her for a ride." Like that whole bit was fantastic for me.

00:28:54.579 --> 00:28:58.099
And Jake was watching it and he was like, this is just like my friends.

00:28:58.099 --> 00:29:00.539
Like, I was like, dude, that's great.

00:29:00.539 --> 00:29:01.660
He's going into sixth grade.

00:29:01.660 --> 00:29:02.859
These kids are in sixth grade.

00:29:02.859 --> 00:29:04.259
He says it's accurate still.

00:29:04.259 --> 00:29:05.099
- I didn't put that.

00:29:05.099 --> 00:29:10.900
I didn't put that scene, but I did capture some stuff from it'cause it was just like, dude, the junior high kids are such savages.

00:29:10.900 --> 00:29:11.740
- Dude.

00:29:11.740 --> 00:29:13.859
- Like they just were, they're merciless.

00:29:13.859 --> 00:29:19.059
And then he's like saying about the girl that Henry likes to say, come on man, she's stacked.

00:29:19.059 --> 00:29:22.819
- Yeah, and he puts his hands like basically touching his own chest. - Yeah, when you're high-stacked.

00:29:22.819 --> 00:29:24.019
- Dude, this is the thing.

00:29:24.019 --> 00:29:25.660
He didn't put his hands out.

00:29:25.660 --> 00:29:32.099
He just had index fingers out and he was like, she stacked and his fingers are directly over his own nipples.

00:29:32.099 --> 00:29:34.019
- And he's going, "Milk did that body good.

00:29:34.019 --> 00:29:36.380
"I'm just drinking a carton of milk."- God.

00:29:36.380 --> 00:29:39.900
- Milk with every meal, that was a good call.

00:29:39.900 --> 00:29:41.460
I don't know why we don't do that more.

00:29:41.460 --> 00:29:49.299
- Dude, remember there was a giant ad campaign in the '90s just for not like a brand of milk, just for the product milk from a cow?

00:29:49.299 --> 00:29:50.140
- Yeah.

00:29:50.140 --> 00:29:52.539
- Like the government was spending money going, are you guys having milk?

00:29:52.539 --> 00:29:53.380
You should have milk.

00:29:53.380 --> 00:29:55.140
Like celebrities were telling us on billboards?

00:29:55.140 --> 00:29:56.740
- Oh, that was a government thing, wasn't it?

00:29:56.740 --> 00:29:58.819
Or was it paid for by the--- Yes, absolutely.

00:29:58.819 --> 00:29:59.660
Milk growers.

00:29:59.660 --> 00:30:05.339
- Well, it might have been paid for by the milk commission or whatever, but dairy cow group of America.

00:30:05.339 --> 00:30:08.579
But I think like that, I think the government was also in on it.

00:30:08.579 --> 00:30:11.460
- So is that why we had milk with every meal at school?

00:30:11.460 --> 00:30:12.460
- I have no idea.

00:30:12.460 --> 00:30:13.980
But I'm gonna guess yes.

00:30:13.980 --> 00:30:16.660
- I don't like milk with every meal, that's gross.

00:30:16.660 --> 00:30:20.140
- Dude, if I have milk, once a year, that's too much.

00:30:20.140 --> 00:30:20.980
- I don't care about that.

00:30:20.980 --> 00:30:29.619
- All right, today's lunch is meatballs and spaghetti with a side of salad, a piece of bread, and a glass of chocolate milk.

00:30:29.619 --> 00:30:30.460
What?

00:30:30.460 --> 00:30:33.859
- We got mountain dew, we got crab juice.

00:30:33.859 --> 00:30:35.339
- Give me crab juice.

00:30:35.339 --> 00:30:38.779
- All right, so what's your first scene?

00:30:38.779 --> 00:30:44.180
- My first one is after he's playing for the Cubs, but it's when they go on the road trip and he has to bat.

00:30:44.180 --> 00:30:45.660
- Oh man.

00:30:45.660 --> 00:30:46.500
- So good.

00:30:46.500 --> 00:30:48.779
(laughing)- So good.

00:30:48.779 --> 00:30:52.059
- It's dude in the editing is genius'cause he's at the plate.

00:30:52.059 --> 00:30:53.779
He's like barely inside the batter's box.

00:30:53.779 --> 00:30:56.779
Like his heels are still touching the white line at the edge.

00:30:56.779 --> 00:31:11.619
And he's going, "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God." And then it cuts to the manager going,"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God." And then it cuts to his mom back home on TV going,"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God."- Dude, I'm glad you said that'cause I, the editor, his name is Rajna Gosnell.

00:31:11.619 --> 00:31:15.019
Did a great job.

00:31:15.019 --> 00:31:23.700
'Cause like every time there's like excited screaming and they're cutting between all the different people,'cause you know, like his mom was watching it at the florist shop or whatever.

00:31:23.700 --> 00:31:26.019
They're in the dugout watching.

00:31:26.019 --> 00:31:27.980
And then he's on the actual field.

00:31:27.980 --> 00:31:31.299
And they just cut to all of those for the, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.

00:31:31.299 --> 00:31:36.180
Or like when what's his name hits the, it's gonna go foul or fair.

00:31:36.180 --> 00:31:38.500
And he's gone, it's foul, it's fair.

00:31:38.500 --> 00:31:40.660
And they're going back and forth to all the different groups.

00:31:40.660 --> 00:31:52.059
And they show John Candy and they show, Henry and they show the mom, dude, it was a good motif all throughout the thing, and that was just, it was a really great edit the way they did that.

00:31:52.059 --> 00:31:54.339
- Yeah, dude, the editing was awesome.

00:31:54.339 --> 00:32:01.619
That guy, by the way, is the actor that played that huge batter guy's name's Tom Molanovic, and he was the state trooper in Groundhog Day.

00:32:01.619 --> 00:32:02.460
- Groundhog Day.

00:32:02.460 --> 00:32:04.500
- Yeah, you know who I thought it was at first?

00:32:04.500 --> 00:32:11.059
I thought it was Donald Gibb, the guy who plays in Revenge of the Nerds, the big dude, Ogre.

00:32:11.059 --> 00:32:11.900
- Yeah.

00:32:11.900 --> 00:32:13.299
- I thought that's who it was gonna be.

00:32:13.299 --> 00:32:15.619
And the whole time, dude, it looked just like him.

00:32:15.619 --> 00:32:17.940
But no, it's the stage you're looking for from a groundhog day.

00:32:17.940 --> 00:32:24.180
- But yeah, I had that, and that's, there's the "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God." But then he gets on base 'cause the pitcher can't throw him any strikes.

00:32:24.180 --> 00:32:25.019
- Yeah.

00:32:25.019 --> 00:32:28.180
- And then he's, dude, as soon as he gets on base, he starts talking shit to the pitcher.

00:32:28.180 --> 00:32:29.019
- Yeah.

00:32:29.019 --> 00:32:30.339
- And he's messing with the first baseman.

00:32:30.339 --> 00:32:32.299
He's like trash talking him like it's still little league.

00:32:32.299 --> 00:32:33.980
- My kids.

00:32:33.980 --> 00:32:36.059
(laughing)- Cackled.

00:32:36.059 --> 00:32:42.339
Like they were, I had to pause it because he, she was laughing so loud at that whole bit.

00:32:42.339 --> 00:32:43.180
She loved it.

00:32:43.180 --> 00:32:48.059
say and dude it was great. And then also John Candy is the is the announcer and he's fantastic.

00:32:48.059 --> 00:32:52.460
After the fourth ball comes by like it the ball comes by the catcher catches it.

00:32:52.460 --> 00:32:57.579
The ump goes take your base and then he swings. Yeah. Dude that was one of my quotes.

00:32:57.579 --> 00:33:01.660
Hank took a rip of that one but the ump had already made the call so he's on his way to first.

00:33:01.660 --> 00:33:15.740
Dude I lost it so good. Oh god. And the pitcher's like he's swung. Yeah. By the way dude that That guy who was the picture during that part, his name was Tim Stoddard.

00:33:15.740 --> 00:33:19.299
He was the technical advisor for the baseball scenes in that movie.

00:33:19.299 --> 00:33:21.740
He actually pitched for the Cubs in '84.

00:33:21.740 --> 00:33:24.259
- Nice. - When they won the NL East title.

00:33:24.259 --> 00:33:33.700
- Good stuff, but yeah, that whole thing, the whole "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God." Him taking a swing after he'd already called, after he said, "Oh, he said, take your base." He gets on base, he starts messing with him, he steals the base.

00:33:33.700 --> 00:33:34.740
- Yeah. - God.

00:33:34.740 --> 00:33:36.059
- Yeah, that was fantastic.

00:33:36.059 --> 00:33:40.619
And then he ends up scoring, but he doesn't realize he's supposed to run and the other guy is running behind him.

00:33:40.619 --> 00:33:41.460
- Oh, he's spanned.

00:33:41.460 --> 00:33:46.980
- And he's like, "This is fast as I run." And they both slide together and both score.

00:33:46.980 --> 00:33:53.140
- This might be racist, I have no idea, but that dude looked a lot like Sammy Soeson to me in the face.

00:33:53.140 --> 00:33:56.220
- I don't know, I don't know if that's racist or not.

00:33:56.220 --> 00:33:59.859
- It was regular Sammy Soeson, not like,- Not inflated head.

00:33:59.859 --> 00:34:01.019
- Yeah, not each each.

00:34:01.019 --> 00:34:01.859
- Oh my God.

00:34:01.859 --> 00:34:07.380
- Speaking of which, when I saw Barry Bons, I was like, "Oh my God." That's Barry Bons with a regular head.

00:34:07.380 --> 00:34:12.599
- Yes, Skinny Berry Bonds before his head swallop like a watermelon, and he hit 9,000 home runs in a single year.

00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:13.599
- Yeah, that's crazy.

00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:15.280
- But yeah, that's my first scene, what's your next one?

00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:18.519
- My next one is just the first game that Henry Pitch is in.

00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:19.360
- Yep.

00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:21.000
- It was just, he didn't know what was going on.

00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:23.960
He doesn't really know how to pitch.

00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:32.840
He hits the guy, like, he throws a wild pitch into the dirt, like, all of those things happen and he still ends up getting the save.

00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:35.920
(laughing) Which is just, dude, it's just really great.

00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:38.320
Like you could tell, like he had no idea what was going on.

00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:39.360
He didn't know what to do.

00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:41.519
He was just like, throw the heat, got it.

00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:53.639
And dude, when he, that's another scene that, or another part of that, I'm sure that's Daniel Stern's idea, like the camera angle when he walks out to the mound, and he's looking down at Henry and he looks tiny.

00:34:53.639 --> 00:34:57.840
And then from his perspective, he's looking up at Sally as he takes the ball.

00:34:57.840 --> 00:35:02.480
And he's like through the heat and slow motion.

00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:04.880
Ah man, that whole thing, it was really good.

00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:05.719
It was really good.

00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:12.360
- I'm sure that's a decision from the director and the cinematographer, director of photography, figuring out the cameras and the camera angles and stuff.

00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:21.480
- Yeah, those type of things that were throughout the movie made it like, again, I like Daniel Stern and I like his character and this, it's funny.

00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:25.079
I like what Daniel Stern, the director, did more than Daniel Stern, the actor.

00:35:25.079 --> 00:35:26.239
- Yeah, I think.

00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:28.079
- I'm not gonna go there,'cause I think Brickmas genius.

00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:28.920
- Yeah, I'm gonna go.

00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:30.559
- This was well directed for sure.

00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:31.400
- Yeah.

00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:37.300
- My next scene is, I don't even know why I put it on the list, you simply just always remembered it, as the Ray Charles dyed Pepsi commercial.

00:35:37.300 --> 00:35:38.960
- You got to ride one baby.

00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:44.059
(laughing)'Cause I just remember that commercial that I had campaigns so well.

00:35:44.059 --> 00:35:44.900
- I did.

00:35:44.900 --> 00:35:45.739
- I did.

00:35:45.739 --> 00:35:49.139
- Henry's wearing a tuxedo and he's sitting in a grand piano and he's singing along to Ray Charles but he can't get the line.

00:35:49.139 --> 00:35:54.340
- Yeah, it's 'cause it's like seven words in a row and they're all weird and they don't sound like they go together.

00:35:54.340 --> 00:35:55.179
- No, no, they don't.

00:35:55.179 --> 00:35:56.860
I was gonna do it but I can't.

00:35:56.860 --> 00:36:08.219
(laughing) You know what I noticed as somebody who occasionally wears bow ties to work, when he started singing that part, the girls that were dancing around him untied his bow tie.

00:36:08.219 --> 00:36:10.340
And it takes me a couple of seconds to tie a bow tie.

00:36:10.340 --> 00:36:11.179
And I don't like it.

00:36:11.179 --> 00:36:15.980
And when they untied it and then they said,"Cut." I was like, "Oh man, that sucks.

00:36:15.980 --> 00:36:18.820
"Somebody's gonna have to tie that back." Yeah, there's some costume director.

00:36:18.820 --> 00:36:19.659
It's gonna do that for him.

00:36:19.659 --> 00:36:20.940
Yeah, they got that.

00:36:20.940 --> 00:36:25.980
And the director's like,"I need you to make it sexy." How long is this gonna take?

00:36:25.980 --> 00:36:27.980
Yeah, absolutely.

00:36:27.980 --> 00:36:30.139
That was a good call I used to love that.

00:36:30.139 --> 00:36:37.659
And also, I liked how, because this is a movie about a kid who actually gets famous, they can do the product placements overtly inside of the movie.

00:36:37.659 --> 00:36:40.380
Right. Like just like that's full on.

00:36:40.380 --> 00:36:44.900
Yes, exactly. I would have bought a corporate sponsors and he opens the pizza box, this pizza hut.

00:36:44.900 --> 00:36:46.659
Well, we're in a deedous jumpsuit.

00:36:46.659 --> 00:36:47.860
Little, what's your last thing?

00:36:47.860 --> 00:36:48.659
Yellow.

00:36:48.659 --> 00:36:50.059
Different.

00:36:50.059 --> 00:36:59.099
My last one is when they go to the hotel and Brigham is trying to tell him like how early he's got to be down there.

00:36:59.099 --> 00:37:01.139
The bus leaves at 11.

00:37:01.139 --> 00:37:03.420
and he gets stuck between the doors.

00:37:03.420 --> 00:37:04.579
- Yeah.

00:37:04.579 --> 00:37:10.820
- And the foreshadowing before that, when the guys drop it 'em off, and the doors, they have the connecting doors and they're connecting doors.

00:37:10.820 --> 00:37:11.820
- Yeah, he's catching it.

00:37:11.820 --> 00:37:15.539
Just like all the doors that keep locking on him, he catches it at the last second.

00:37:15.539 --> 00:37:21.619
And that guy, beforehand, it seems your door is malfunctioning.

00:37:21.619 --> 00:37:25.139
And he's just smiling with his mouth open and staring at him.

00:37:25.139 --> 00:37:28.619
And, dude, Daniel's starting to just stare and write back at him.

00:37:28.619 --> 00:37:30.340
I'll get someone to help, and he walks off.

00:37:30.340 --> 00:37:35.340
He's like, "Hey, nice guy!" Like, I, dude, I don't know why I like that part.

00:37:35.340 --> 00:37:40.139
That part with that guy, the balding guy that stared at him with the mouth open was great.

00:37:40.139 --> 00:37:41.780
- Yeah.

00:37:41.780 --> 00:37:42.619
That's awesome.

00:37:42.619 --> 00:37:44.820
We didn't have any of the same scenes I can't believe that.

00:37:44.820 --> 00:37:46.139
- Yeah.

00:37:46.139 --> 00:37:52.900
- The thing that I really liked about Daniel Sturring is trapped between the two doors, which is amazing 'cause number one, it spawns one of my favorite lines.

00:37:52.900 --> 00:37:53.739
- La la la.

00:37:53.739 --> 00:37:54.579
- La la la.

00:37:54.579 --> 00:37:55.420
- La la la.

00:37:55.420 --> 00:37:56.820
- La la la.

00:37:56.820 --> 00:38:07.500
But also, I didn't, obviously, I didn't realize it as a kid, but now as an adult, I'm going, the thing that's extra genius about that is that then Brickma gets locked on the pitching cage later,'cause he goes, "My lucky seeds!" Yeah.

00:38:07.500 --> 00:38:08.340
And he gets locked.

00:38:08.340 --> 00:38:14.139
But that what that means is that the director Daniel Stern does not have to shoot scenes where he the actor Daniel Stern is in the scene.

00:38:14.139 --> 00:38:15.300
In the scenes, right.

00:38:15.300 --> 00:38:16.139
That's good.

00:38:16.139 --> 00:38:21.139
So it's like, it's such a smart way from a production standpoint to go, like I'm directing this.

00:38:21.139 --> 00:38:24.460
I can't also be in my outfit with my handlebar mustache, like performing.

00:38:24.460 --> 00:38:28.659
I need to be locked away between the two connecting doors or in the pitching cage locked up.

00:38:28.659 --> 00:38:34.780
I tell you one thing though, somebody who can act and direct at the same time, the incomparable Robert Redford.

00:38:34.780 --> 00:38:36.019
He does it at the time.

00:38:36.019 --> 00:38:37.340
No, dude, you know what?

00:38:37.340 --> 00:38:38.340
- So does Jason Payment.

00:38:38.340 --> 00:38:39.179
- Yeah.

00:38:39.179 --> 00:38:42.659
- You can do it, but I'm saying like, I think it's cool that he was just like,"Hey man, there's gonna be a million people.

00:38:42.659 --> 00:38:43.820
These are huge scenes.

00:38:43.820 --> 00:38:44.900
The whole stadium is there.

00:38:44.900 --> 00:38:47.179
I need to not be in the shot."- Right.

00:38:47.179 --> 00:38:48.019
- What do we do about that?

00:38:48.019 --> 00:38:48.860
- Right, right.

00:38:48.860 --> 00:38:50.340
- What if Brickman just locks himself in the cage.

00:38:50.340 --> 00:38:53.579
It's like, "Perfect, let's do that." And then it's actually really funny when he does it.

00:38:53.579 --> 00:38:59.079
- Yeah, and dude, when he starts shaking the cage and everything starts falling,- You see, lost it again.

00:38:59.079 --> 00:39:01.139
- That's 'cause he's freaking genius.

00:39:01.139 --> 00:39:07.699
- Yeah, dude, when he gets stuck in between the doors, I can remember every hotel since then that we've had connecting rooms.

00:39:07.699 --> 00:39:10.619
I've always tried to see if I could fit in there and I never could.

00:39:10.619 --> 00:39:13.780
- I'm a thousand percent positive that now I could not fit in there.

00:39:13.780 --> 00:39:15.219
- Dude, I don't know if I ever could have.

00:39:15.219 --> 00:39:16.059
- No, that's what I'm saying.

00:39:16.059 --> 00:39:18.219
I think that was especially made.

00:39:18.219 --> 00:39:20.059
- That was definitely, that was special effects on TV.

00:39:20.059 --> 00:39:21.219
- Yeah, I just didn't realize.

00:39:21.219 --> 00:39:22.059
- I just didn't realize.

00:39:22.059 --> 00:39:22.900
- What?

00:39:22.900 --> 00:39:24.579
- There's a lot of air cry about it.

00:39:24.579 --> 00:39:25.539
So what's your third one?

00:39:25.539 --> 00:39:27.179
- My third one was the final game.

00:39:27.179 --> 00:39:28.179
- Nice.

00:39:28.179 --> 00:39:30.219
- The final game where they're gonna win the pennant.

00:39:30.219 --> 00:39:32.780
Dude, it's got the hidden ball trick.

00:39:32.780 --> 00:39:33.619
- Yeah.

00:39:33.619 --> 00:39:47.099
- It's got Stedman thrown at his arm, and then it's like that really actually kind of emotional moment where he's like, the manager's like, "Hey, I'm Gary Buc comes out." And he's like, "Ab done." And he's like, "Kats great, I'm just gotta save you for the playoffs." He gave me six great in and he's like,"No, no, I'm done.

00:39:47.099 --> 00:39:49.300
My arm is gone."- Yeah.

00:39:49.300 --> 00:39:53.539
- And the manager's like, "Well, hope you let me finish"out the season before you take my job."- Nice, yeah, yeah.

00:39:53.539 --> 00:39:54.380
- I remember that.

00:39:54.380 --> 00:39:58.619
a nice emotional moment that was like a Chet's arc concluded.

00:39:58.619 --> 00:40:02.940
By the way, Gary Busy being perfectly serviceable in this movie and not being crazy.

00:40:02.940 --> 00:40:04.460
There's great value in his movie.

00:40:04.460 --> 00:40:05.940
But we killed it.

00:40:05.940 --> 00:40:06.940
He killed the whole time too.

00:40:06.940 --> 00:40:08.860
I'm like, is that a fake mustache?

00:40:08.860 --> 00:40:10.420
Kat's like, no.

00:40:10.420 --> 00:40:11.619
That's definitely not a fake mustache.

00:40:11.619 --> 00:40:12.619
No, it definitely is.

00:40:12.619 --> 00:40:13.619
A fake mustache.

00:40:13.619 --> 00:40:14.619
I looked it out.

00:40:14.619 --> 00:40:15.619
It is a fake mustache.

00:40:15.619 --> 00:40:17.619
Dude, also fantastic mustache.

00:40:17.619 --> 00:40:18.619
Yeah.

00:40:18.619 --> 00:40:24.059
When he gets hurt, the music is playing like heavy handed or catchable music.

00:40:24.059 --> 00:40:55.940
Yeah, and then right as this right as he throws it you hear the crack and you can see is the pain in his face All you hear is an electric guitar. It's like The pain is causing an electric guitar sound and I freaking loved it And then when he went to go throw it again like he picked up the bun And he went to go throw it and his arm was back and you could tell the pain the electric guitar came back Dude, it's great. That was a good call to do that This was a really good score, and I was kind of confused like how the score ended up being so good.

00:40:55.940 --> 00:40:57.820
And I looked it up, it's Bill Conti.

00:40:57.820 --> 00:40:59.980
Dude, that guy did Rocky, did Karate Kid.

00:40:59.980 --> 00:41:02.179
- I was gonna say Bill Conti is Rocky.

00:41:02.179 --> 00:41:08.019
- All over the '80s, doing all the classic '80s stuff, like electric guitar solos as you throw out your arm.

00:41:08.019 --> 00:41:10.059
(laughing)- That was a good call.

00:41:10.059 --> 00:41:13.940
As soon as it hit it, I was like, oh yeah, remember that, that's great, I love it.

00:41:13.940 --> 00:41:21.860
- But yeah, but when, like Henry, you know, he slips on a thing and he can't throw fast anymore and Gray value Nick Nolte, he's out, his arms hurt.

00:41:21.860 --> 00:41:31.219
And so he's doing the like, he's walking people, he's doing the hidden ball trick, he's like making plans to get everybody out, using trickery, using--- Dropping it and calling him a chicken.

00:41:31.219 --> 00:41:32.219
- Yeah.

00:41:32.219 --> 00:41:33.460
- Like God, man, that's great.

00:41:33.460 --> 00:41:34.860
- Yeah, I'm with you.

00:41:34.860 --> 00:41:36.460
That was a good call.

00:41:36.460 --> 00:41:40.739
- And then he floats it past Old What's His Name from Groundhog Day?

00:41:40.739 --> 00:41:42.699
- Oger from Revenge No 8.

00:41:42.699 --> 00:41:44.460
It's not him, it's not him.

00:41:44.460 --> 00:41:45.300
- Tom Melonovich.

00:41:45.300 --> 00:41:46.260
- Tom Melonovich.

00:41:46.260 --> 00:41:47.179
Yeah, good call.

00:41:47.179 --> 00:41:50.900
I like the last, dude, I'm glad we didn't have the same because I agree with all of yours too.

00:41:50.900 --> 00:41:53.699
There's a really good, if I could pick six, I'm with that.

00:41:53.699 --> 00:41:56.900
- Yeah, no, I like it when we don't have the same ones either'cause it gives us more stuff to talk about.

00:41:56.900 --> 00:41:57.739
- Absolutely. - Quotes?

00:41:57.739 --> 00:41:59.860
I got way too many because I have five brickma quotes.

00:41:59.860 --> 00:42:02.219
- Dude, I put all the brickma quotes together.

00:42:02.219 --> 00:42:05.500
- I know, I did too 'cause I just, I couldn't make it, I couldn't make it work any more.

00:42:05.500 --> 00:42:06.780
- So which brickma quotes do you have?

00:42:06.780 --> 00:42:08.900
Do you have, you have, give me the good stuff?

00:42:08.900 --> 00:42:09.739
- I gotta give me the good stuff.

00:42:09.739 --> 00:42:10.579
- All right, so how about this?

00:42:10.579 --> 00:42:21.460
Oh man, and then the last thing that I had was, I wrap up my cake here, my vomit bag, and voila! Breakfast, conservation, managing resources, that's the key to baseball.

00:42:21.460 --> 00:42:23.139
- I freaking love that guy.

00:42:23.139 --> 00:42:38.139
- Dude, and then later on there at the party, I don't know why there was a party after they just won a regular game, but he's talking to Henry again, and he's like looking over, and there's like these two like young girls, just like the hair's all curled, like wearing fancy dresses, and he's like, all right, then we come with me.

00:42:38.139 --> 00:42:43.539
He's like, excuse me ladies, and the ladies like, look at him, and he goes,- Excuse me.

00:42:43.539 --> 00:42:45.659
- And they step aside and there's a pinball machine.

00:42:45.659 --> 00:42:48.460
- And remember, it's all free.

00:42:48.460 --> 00:42:50.340
- And dude, Henry gets all excited.

00:42:50.340 --> 00:42:51.340
He's like, wow, pinball.

00:42:51.340 --> 00:42:54.260
And he just shoves them to the side and starts playing.

00:42:54.260 --> 00:42:56.099
- Yeah, that's good stuff.

00:42:56.099 --> 00:42:56.900
- That's what's breaking my genius.

00:42:56.900 --> 00:42:58.300
We gotta figure out some good break my stuff.

00:42:58.300 --> 00:43:00.300
We can pull out and put on TikTok'cause people need to know.

00:43:00.300 --> 00:43:02.980
- Yeah, dude, we'll definitely do that.

00:43:02.980 --> 00:43:04.860
What's your non-break my quotes?

00:43:04.860 --> 00:43:08.539
- A very first non-break my quote is funky buttloven.

00:43:08.539 --> 00:43:09.619
- Yeah, same.

00:43:09.619 --> 00:43:13.380
First of all, the sound his shoulder makes is great.

00:43:13.380 --> 00:43:14.539
And that's seen.

00:43:14.539 --> 00:43:17.780
I know man, the sound effects in this movie are fantastic.

00:43:17.780 --> 00:43:23.019
Second, George and Clark are in the doctor's office room with him while he's getting his arm checked.

00:43:23.019 --> 00:43:24.019
They got like, why not?

00:43:24.019 --> 00:43:29.300
They got like, popsicle sticks in their mouth and cute tips in their nose and they're messing around.

00:43:29.300 --> 00:43:34.860
And he said that when he hits the doctor and he says, "Funky butt loving" and George repeats it.

00:43:34.860 --> 00:43:36.340
Did he say funky butt loving?

00:43:36.340 --> 00:43:38.900
Do he see, he started saying it from there on.

00:43:38.900 --> 00:43:49.300
She just kept saying, "Funky butt loving." I was like, "All right, if you really think about what he's saying, we should probably not have my five year old say that." That's so good.

00:43:49.300 --> 00:43:51.139
So, yeah, "Funky butt loving" is my first.

00:43:51.139 --> 00:43:52.059
What's your next one?

00:43:52.059 --> 00:43:53.179
I got that one.

00:43:53.179 --> 00:44:00.260
The only other one I had is when he goes to his first game his mom is dropping him off and she's walking into the player's entrance.

00:44:00.260 --> 00:44:38.679
And she's like, "All right, I'll take you inside." He's like, "Mom, none of the other cub moms are going to be there." Oh, dude, yeah, that's right before the Wizard of Oz bit. That was good. Yes. Yeah. And I don't know why that made me laugh But dude, it was awesome. Yeah, my only other quote was the Hank took a rip of that one But the umpid already made the call he's on his way first I freaking love dude. I love John Katie. He had a ton of freaking lines that were like he had some great lines He got hit in the back and the guy got hit and he's like, oh That stinks. I wrote down the I wrote down a He took a rip of that one, but they're laughing. I already made the call but it didn't quite make my cut.

00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:39.679
- Didn't make the cut.

00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:41.760
Which was cool because he wasn't even supposed to be in it.

00:44:41.760 --> 00:44:50.599
He was just visiting the set and then told Daniel Stern who's their friends and he said like,"Man, I'd love to have a little small part." And what you got?

00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:52.800
And he goes, "How about an announcer?" He's like, "Oh, that would be great.

00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:56.519
Can I do that?" That's why he's not, John Candy's not even credited in this movie.

00:44:56.519 --> 00:45:01.440
- That's cool to know 'cause I didn't look that up and I was wondering like, how'd they get John Candy to be in this movie?

00:45:01.440 --> 00:45:02.739
John Candy's a huge star.

00:45:02.739 --> 00:45:04.000
- Yeah, at this point he definitely was.

00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:08.280
And dude, I thought he like kept the whole thing moving.

00:45:08.280 --> 00:45:09.840
Like he tied it all together.

00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:11.320
I think it was great that they had him in there.

00:45:11.320 --> 00:45:15.800
- Well, and it would be weird if you didn't have a comic relief like baseball anchor.

00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:18.760
Every baseball movie we've ever done has that role.

00:45:18.760 --> 00:45:20.079
Like it'd be weird if you didn't have that.

00:45:20.079 --> 00:45:20.920
- Yeah.

00:45:20.920 --> 00:45:25.199
- Like, yeah, bet you 10 bucks, he's gonna die to my drop in there, Miley.

00:45:25.199 --> 00:45:28.239
- Oh man.

00:45:28.239 --> 00:45:32.559
- All right, characters number one, buy a mile for me as Brickma.

00:45:32.559 --> 00:45:34.639
- Yeah, of course it is, that's awesome.

00:45:34.639 --> 00:45:35.840
- He's just so good, man.

00:45:35.840 --> 00:45:44.480
Just quickly in my head I was going like, all right, top, comic, performances, like from a not lead character in the entire decade that might be in there.

00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:45.480
- Really?

00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:46.320
- Not really.

00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:47.880
I don't think it's gonna be top 10.

00:45:47.880 --> 00:45:50.280
'Cause if we really go through it there's a bunch of really funny movies.

00:45:50.280 --> 00:45:51.119
- Yeah.

00:45:51.119 --> 00:45:57.800
- But if you think about like, most of the comedies, the main characters are doing, like Tommy Boy, the main characters are really funny.

00:45:57.800 --> 00:46:00.719
There's no one else that movie where you're like, "That guy was so funny."- Yeah.

00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:03.320
- Like the only other one I could think of, You'll get a kick out of this.

00:46:03.320 --> 00:46:08.360
The next one that immediately came to mind when I started trying to think of that is Eddie Murphy and Mulan.

00:46:08.360 --> 00:46:11.099
(laughing) That was literally the next one.

00:46:11.099 --> 00:46:12.760
I thought it was like Moushiu.

00:46:12.760 --> 00:46:13.920
- Yeah.

00:46:13.920 --> 00:46:18.000
- Bit character, comic relief, that was absolutely hilarious.

00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:20.880
- Dude, I know you really like Brickmouth.

00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:22.840
He just didn't make, he was a little too goofy for me.

00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:24.559
That's the only reason he didn't make the cut.

00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:30.599
- No, but it's perfect for the movie that this was, which is a PG Kids release, aimed for 10-year-olds.

00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:31.440
- Perfect, dude.

00:46:31.440 --> 00:46:34.199
- My kid, they thought he was the funniest thing.

00:46:34.199 --> 00:46:35.239
They loved him.

00:46:35.239 --> 00:46:41.440
- Well, and like that tells you right there, 30 years later, your kids are in the right age range and they're still dying laughing at this before.

00:46:41.440 --> 00:46:43.960
- Right, that's, Daniel Stern is a freaking genius.

00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:45.159
Totally with you.

00:46:45.159 --> 00:46:48.360
CC loved, she recognized him from home alone right away.

00:46:48.360 --> 00:46:52.320
And she was like that's, she loves him.

00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:53.480
Sticky bandits.

00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:56.280
(laughing) Who's your first?

00:46:56.280 --> 00:46:58.320
- My very first one is John Candy.

00:46:58.320 --> 00:47:01.159
'Cause, dude, he's got the stubble.

00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:07.000
He's like just like all the other, you know, like you said, the funny comic relief anchors.

00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:12.280
I wonder how much of the stuff John Candy came up with compared to what was written for him.

00:47:12.280 --> 00:47:15.320
Just stuff like, well, I just figured out why the Cubs lose every year.

00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:17.719
They've got more talent in the stands than they do in the field.

00:47:17.719 --> 00:47:23.920
Or like, well, that's gonna bring rockets, earned run average to about 300 or so, which equals the attendance here today.

00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:24.920
What a team.

00:47:24.920 --> 00:47:27.599
Like stuff like that, dude, I just loved it.

00:47:27.599 --> 00:47:31.639
- I'm just assuming that John Candy Ablib,- Adlib almost all of that.

00:47:31.639 --> 00:47:32.480
- Yeah.

00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:38.679
- I like, and the other thing is, is John Candy's kind of Chebby, and he could still be a leading character, which is rare.

00:47:38.679 --> 00:47:39.519
- Yeah.

00:47:39.519 --> 00:47:41.559
- And I like that, 'cause I'm also Chebby.

00:47:41.559 --> 00:47:42.400
- Yeah.

00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:44.639
- He was mine, my first.

00:47:44.639 --> 00:47:46.840
- John Candy, by the way, died at 43.

00:47:46.840 --> 00:47:48.000
- Yeah, no.

00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:51.079
- It sucks that we didn't have like 30 or 40 more years of him being hilarious and moving.

00:47:51.079 --> 00:47:56.880
- He would have been, dude, we watched Summer Rental with him this year, and my kids loved it.

00:47:56.880 --> 00:47:58.800
Like, everybody loves John Candy.

00:47:58.800 --> 00:48:02.079
Dude, I want to do Uncle Buck on Patreon for 1989.

00:48:02.079 --> 00:48:05.639
- We're definitely gonna. - I think if we get to it, I would be absolutely delighted.

00:48:05.639 --> 00:48:07.079
- Well, there's gonna get our garbage.

00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:09.400
- We'll do it next.

00:48:09.400 --> 00:48:10.360
- We'll do it next.

00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:12.079
- My second character is Rowan Gardner.

00:48:12.079 --> 00:48:13.639
- Yeah, me, Thomas Ian Nichols.

00:48:13.639 --> 00:48:14.480
- Yeah.

00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:15.320
- Amy's the lead character.

00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:16.320
The movie hangs on this kid.

00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:19.280
It's hard to be a good child actor.

00:48:19.280 --> 00:48:20.840
And I know Jones is annoyed by him.

00:48:20.840 --> 00:48:23.079
And I totally get that, 'cause he is kind of annoying.

00:48:23.079 --> 00:48:23.920
- Yeah.

00:48:23.920 --> 00:48:25.840
- But I think that was the idea you're supposed to be.

00:48:25.840 --> 00:48:26.679
- That's what I was gonna say.

00:48:26.679 --> 00:48:27.679
I think you played it perfect.

00:48:27.679 --> 00:48:30.679
like he's a goofy nerdy kid, he's not good at sports.

00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:31.679
Like that's the whole point.

00:48:31.679 --> 00:48:33.039
- But now he's good at sports.

00:48:33.039 --> 00:48:34.039
- Since he's good at sports.

00:48:34.039 --> 00:48:35.119
- Broke his.

00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:36.440
- Since he broke his, whatever.

00:48:36.440 --> 00:48:37.639
Well, this is the thing too.

00:48:37.639 --> 00:48:40.239
I think I realized why he fell.

00:48:40.239 --> 00:48:47.639
In that scene, he was wearing Chuck Taylor's and having worn those for that daddy daughter dance, I can tell you, those are not the best shoes ever.

00:48:47.639 --> 00:48:50.880
- Yeah, Larry Bird might still be playing in the NBA if he wasn't wearing Chuck Taylor's.

00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:53.760
Yeah, dude, I had Rowan Gardner also.

00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:56.840
I like the fact that Thomas C. and Nichols, he's a musician now.

00:48:56.840 --> 00:49:00.039
Actually, I used to run into him when we both lived in LA.

00:49:00.039 --> 00:49:00.880
It shows and stuff.

00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:02.199
- Dude, I listened to some of his music.

00:49:02.199 --> 00:49:03.039
It's not bad.

00:49:03.039 --> 00:49:06.519
- Yeah, no, I think he's been working pretty steadily.

00:49:06.519 --> 00:49:07.360
He's still doing stuff.

00:49:07.360 --> 00:49:08.480
He's an American buy.

00:49:08.480 --> 00:49:09.719
He's done some more movies, done some music.

00:49:09.719 --> 00:49:10.559
- Yeah, the last movie he was doing.

00:49:10.559 --> 00:49:11.400
- Like, still doing it.

00:49:11.400 --> 00:49:12.239
- It was a couple of years ago.

00:49:12.239 --> 00:49:13.239
So yeah, he's still doing it.

00:49:13.239 --> 00:49:18.360
Dude, you can tell how good he was at baseball by the first game he was in for Little League.

00:49:18.360 --> 00:49:20.159
He was wearing jeans.

00:49:20.159 --> 00:49:24.039
Everybody else was wearing like a whole outfit and he was wearing jeans.

00:49:24.039 --> 00:49:28.719
- Yeah, he was the last guy sitting in the dugout and they put the kid out and ahead of him who's like head the cook bottle glasses on.

00:49:28.719 --> 00:49:30.039
- Yeah.

00:49:30.039 --> 00:49:32.920
- Grape, any grape or cherry.

00:49:32.920 --> 00:49:33.920
- Or cherry.

00:49:33.920 --> 00:49:35.119
- Who's your third character?

00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:37.960
- Third character is great value and dignity.

00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:39.719
- Yep, doggy. - A great value, Chewbacca.

00:49:39.719 --> 00:49:44.360
- Oh, dude, something I put in the Rowan Gardener thing.

00:49:44.360 --> 00:49:47.639
By the way, he was making League Minimum, we assume.

00:49:47.639 --> 00:49:50.760
In '93 that was $190,000.

00:49:50.760 --> 00:49:53.440
Today that would be $400,000.

00:49:53.440 --> 00:49:54.280
- Are you bad?

00:49:54.280 --> 00:49:55.119
- Not bad.

00:49:55.119 --> 00:49:59.519
Well, he had a five year, $25 million contract signed with the Yankees, he should have just taken that.

00:49:59.519 --> 00:50:01.719
- Yeah, I should have taken that and just moved to New York.

00:50:01.719 --> 00:50:06.440
By the way, when he said $500, that's like six years allowance.

00:50:06.440 --> 00:50:14.239
That means he was getting paid a $1.60 a week, which adjusted for inflation is $337 a week.

00:50:14.239 --> 00:50:23.559
If he's doing chores for $3.37 a week, we need to call for a, I don't know, Oxfam International and get some,- Yeah, get some national labor relations for it.

00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:24.719
- Get some people out there.

00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:26.559
Dude, I feel like, did you get an allowance?

00:50:26.559 --> 00:50:27.400
- No.

00:50:27.400 --> 00:50:31.800
- Yeah, 'cause there was a thing when we were kids where we got an allowance, my brother and I did.

00:50:31.800 --> 00:50:32.639
I don't remember what it was.

00:50:32.639 --> 00:50:36.760
I feel like it was like, it might have been a dollar or two a week, but it might have been like five bucks or something.

00:50:36.760 --> 00:50:37.760
I don't know.

00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:39.559
But there are also kids who didn't get an allowance.

00:50:39.559 --> 00:50:40.400
- Yeah.

00:50:40.400 --> 00:50:41.320
- Remember that being a big point of contention?

00:50:41.320 --> 00:50:43.599
- Yeah, I didn't get an allowance, but you know what?

00:50:43.599 --> 00:50:52.159
Every time I was like, "Hey, I'd like to go to the movies," it was never like, "Well, you gotta get your own money out." Like, they always paid for that shit.

00:50:52.159 --> 00:50:53.000
You know what I'm saying?

00:50:53.000 --> 00:50:54.360
They always gave me money to do that.

00:50:54.360 --> 00:50:56.000
So I wasn't too bitter.

00:50:56.000 --> 00:50:58.519
But what the hell, you spending money on at that age?

00:50:58.519 --> 00:51:06.880
- Well, I think the point was, was it was supposed to teach me, and like if my allowance is freaking $3 and I wanna buy,- You know, excite bike.

00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:08.960
- I gotta save it for like 10 months.

00:51:08.960 --> 00:51:10.079
- Right.

00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:11.119
- And then I go and buy it.

00:51:11.119 --> 00:51:14.000
And I would, I'd be like, oh man, I wanna get the New Zelda game.

00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:15.480
It's like, all right, I'm a save for three months.

00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:20.360
- Oh, dude, I need to go find NES, emulator so I can play excite bike.

00:51:20.360 --> 00:51:23.000
I can't believe you said that, that's delightful.

00:51:23.000 --> 00:51:25.440
But that's what I would say for, I would say for video games.

00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:28.519
I would say for Nintendo games, Super Nintendo games, and so on and so forth.

00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:35.599
- I think eventually I had some sort of allowance, but yeah, I also have Gary Bucy, great value, Nick Nolte is my third character.

00:51:35.599 --> 00:51:39.239
How Gary Bucy got cast in a kids movie is beyond me.

00:51:39.239 --> 00:51:42.360
- I don't know that everybody knew he was this crazy back in the gap.

00:51:42.360 --> 00:51:48.280
- Well dude, we just, the last thing we saw him in, do you remember, was under siege, and he had it turned up to 11 the whole time.

00:51:48.280 --> 00:51:49.119
- Yeah, yeah.

00:51:49.119 --> 00:51:50.519
- Like did people not see that movie?

00:51:50.519 --> 00:51:52.079
It made like $160 million.

00:51:52.079 --> 00:51:55.679
- Yeah, but you saw him there and you're like, you know who'd be great for this kids movie?

00:51:55.679 --> 00:51:57.079
Is Gary Bucy?

00:51:57.079 --> 00:51:58.800
- He didn't have it up to 11 for this.

00:51:58.800 --> 00:51:59.960
I think he did a good job.

00:51:59.960 --> 00:52:00.800
- No, that's what I'm saying.

00:52:00.800 --> 00:52:03.199
He actually, it was like perfectly measured.

00:52:03.199 --> 00:52:13.960
I don't know if that's like, he ran out of drugs or a dentist or an ask him nicely or what, but like, he played it perfectly, but that's just, that's the lowest level of Gary Bucy you could have gotten is this performance.

00:52:13.960 --> 00:52:16.159
Like how could you, how could you expect that?

00:52:16.159 --> 00:52:17.000
I don't know, I still understand.

00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:33.000
- I can tell you that the part that I realized that Gary Bucy wasn't on drugs, was when they were on the plane, after Brickma takes off from sit next to Henry, and he calls Henry over and sits down, and he goes, "What'd you have?" He goes, "I had the chicken tenders." How are they?

00:52:33.000 --> 00:52:33.840
They're pretty good.

00:52:33.840 --> 00:52:34.679
What'd you get?

00:52:34.679 --> 00:52:36.480
Best Salisbury steak I had in my life.

00:52:36.480 --> 00:52:43.039
I was like, "What?" That, I mean, I guess maybe they could be the best Salisbury steak,'cause I don't eat Salisbury steak that much.

00:52:43.039 --> 00:52:48.039
But who, the best in his life?

00:52:48.599 --> 00:52:50.199
Do you think he ate Salisbury steak every day?

00:52:50.199 --> 00:52:52.360
Like that one guy you looked up for that one movie?

00:52:52.360 --> 00:52:53.699
They died at like 35?

00:52:53.699 --> 00:52:57.639
- Yeah, James, H. Salisbury, the guy who came up with it.

00:52:57.639 --> 00:53:09.239
The guy who thought vegetables caused tumors and tuberculosis and said you need to have three Salisbury steaks a day and wash it down with hot water and that cleanses the digestive system.

00:53:09.239 --> 00:53:10.079
- That's the secret.

00:53:10.079 --> 00:53:11.280
That's the John Wayne diet right there.

00:53:11.280 --> 00:53:12.760
- Yeah, guy.

00:53:12.760 --> 00:53:14.400
You know why they called it Salisbury steak though?

00:53:14.400 --> 00:53:24.199
'Cause there's a bunch of stuff that was like ground meat packed into little patties, but what do you call a ground meat packed into patty that you put on a bun and eat?

00:53:24.199 --> 00:53:25.039
- I call it a hamburger.

00:53:25.039 --> 00:53:29.760
- Right, right, but not in the forties you did because that was close to Germany.

00:53:29.760 --> 00:53:30.599
- That was a journey.

00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:31.440
- So you had to call it something else.

00:53:31.440 --> 00:53:34.480
So they're like, "Solves Berry Steak, it is."- Nice.

00:53:34.480 --> 00:53:35.320
- 'Cause we don't wanna be, yeah, man.

00:53:35.320 --> 00:53:37.880
That Gary B.U.C. performance to me is kinda miraculous.

00:53:37.880 --> 00:53:42.440
I don't know how Daniel Stern got that out of him because he's such a friggin' wacko, but he was perfect in this.

00:53:42.440 --> 00:53:43.639
- Yeah, he was really good.

00:53:43.639 --> 00:53:53.719
Dude, a couple extra, I put Brickmas, my bonus character, but I wanna throw out the clueless dad, Fisher, the guy who played Larry Fisher.

00:53:53.719 --> 00:53:54.559
Oh yeah.

00:53:54.559 --> 00:53:58.400
And then the guy who played Bob Carson, the guy who played the owner.

00:53:58.400 --> 00:53:59.239
He was from the owner.

00:53:59.239 --> 00:54:01.280
Eddie Braken, his name.

00:54:01.280 --> 00:54:02.280
Home Alone 2.

00:54:02.280 --> 00:54:05.159
He played Mr. Duncan and Home Alone 2 that owned the toy store.

00:54:05.159 --> 00:54:07.639
And also Neil Flynn, who was in Scrawl.

00:54:07.639 --> 00:54:09.119
She is the first baseman.

00:54:09.119 --> 00:54:09.960
Yeah.

00:54:09.960 --> 00:54:14.119
I hadn't seen that whole, 'cause we decided We probably shouldn't show him that yet.

00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:19.599
Scrubs, but he has seen a few episodes, so he recognized John to right away.

00:54:19.599 --> 00:54:20.840
- Yeah, that was awesome.

00:54:20.840 --> 00:54:22.679
- Cool, writers, directors, actors.

00:54:22.679 --> 00:54:23.519
- I think we talked about it.

00:54:23.519 --> 00:54:25.880
The writer, Sam Harper, this is first screenplay credit.

00:54:25.880 --> 00:54:28.719
He's gonna write some other stuff.

00:54:28.719 --> 00:54:30.440
He doesn't write anything else for 10 years.

00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:34.320
He writes cheaper by the dozen, which makes almost $200 million.

00:54:34.320 --> 00:54:36.800
It's the Steve Martin remake.

00:54:36.800 --> 00:54:38.079
- Yeah, I remember that one.

00:54:38.079 --> 00:54:42.400
- And then he's written some other stuff, like open season, just married.

00:54:42.400 --> 00:54:47.059
Like another, just married, due 2003, Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy.

00:54:47.059 --> 00:54:47.900
- That was a great movie.

00:54:47.900 --> 00:54:51.980
- Another movie that, dude, it made $100 million on an $18 million budget.

00:54:51.980 --> 00:54:57.179
Like he's, I don't think he's winning any awards, but everything he wrote made a bunch of money.

00:54:57.179 --> 00:54:59.539
- Yeah, the bitch hit me with an ass tray.

00:54:59.539 --> 00:55:01.619
I've written, I love that movie.

00:55:01.619 --> 00:55:03.659
- And he wrote Rio in 2011.

00:55:03.659 --> 00:55:04.659
- Nice.

00:55:04.659 --> 00:55:05.500
- Yeah, yeah.

00:55:05.500 --> 00:55:06.500
- Another one that made a bunch of money.

00:55:06.500 --> 00:55:08.619
- Yeah, like a good writer.

00:55:08.619 --> 00:55:10.860
Daniel Stern is the director.

00:55:10.860 --> 00:55:13.380
I think this is the only movie he's ever directed.

00:55:13.380 --> 00:55:14.659
- Only movie, the Zillian one.

00:55:14.659 --> 00:55:15.500
- Yeah.

00:55:15.500 --> 00:55:19.420
- I really wanted to talk to him,'cause I just wanted to ask, like he did a good job.

00:55:19.420 --> 00:55:21.019
Why did he just never do it again?

00:55:21.019 --> 00:55:23.579
- Right, no, go out on top.

00:55:23.579 --> 00:55:25.739
- Yeah, or just go like, actually that wasn't that much fun.

00:55:25.739 --> 00:55:27.019
It was a pain in the ass, I don't wanna do that.

00:55:27.019 --> 00:55:28.579
- Right, maybe so, maybe so.

00:55:28.579 --> 00:55:50.139
When he goes to the, when Henry is in the locker room and he looks at the guy to the left and he looks down at his junk'cause he's wearing tidy whiteies And you hear like a like a cello and a bass sound and he looks to the right and there's another guy in like, tidy whiteies and he looks down to his junk and you can hear tidy whiteies and he looks at his own and you hear like a little twinkle and a piccolo.

00:55:50.139 --> 00:55:50.980
And you hear that?

00:55:50.980 --> 00:55:52.500
It was great, man.

00:55:52.500 --> 00:55:54.699
Yeah, the sound effects and the score and stuff.

00:55:54.699 --> 00:55:56.500
All that together was just great.

00:55:56.500 --> 00:55:57.340
It was really good.

00:55:57.340 --> 00:55:58.179
Yeah.

00:55:58.179 --> 00:55:59.739
Do you have any extra good?

00:55:59.739 --> 00:56:00.940
No, I don't.

00:56:00.940 --> 00:56:02.659
I do have a couple of things.

00:56:02.659 --> 00:56:04.059
All right, a couple of work to do as quickly.

00:56:04.059 --> 00:56:06.059
Yeah, yeah, a couple, there's just questions.

00:56:06.059 --> 00:56:11.460
- No, one, the stirrups, Brigham and stirrups were always loose and never fitting right.

00:56:11.460 --> 00:56:13.579
What are those four to those just hold up socks?

00:56:13.579 --> 00:56:16.940
What are, like on Facebook, you know what I'm saying?

00:56:16.940 --> 00:56:21.420
Like on CC and Jake when they played like T-Ball and stuff, they're just painted on the socks.

00:56:21.420 --> 00:56:25.420
- I thought those were supposed to be for the really old baseball pants to keep the pants from riding up.

00:56:25.420 --> 00:56:26.260
- Who may be so?

00:56:26.260 --> 00:56:28.780
- Like put them under, you stepped on them and then it kept your pants from like pulling.

00:56:28.780 --> 00:56:31.340
- Yeah, maybe they're connected to the pants, good call.

00:56:31.340 --> 00:56:33.019
All right, let's do five questions.

00:56:33.019 --> 00:56:33.860
Is it okay for kids?

00:56:33.860 --> 00:56:35.179
I feel like we've already covered that pretty well.

00:56:35.179 --> 00:56:36.980
- Yeah, absolutely.

00:56:36.980 --> 00:56:38.940
It's definitely okay.

00:56:38.940 --> 00:56:39.980
Could you make it again?

00:56:39.980 --> 00:56:41.699
- I mean, yeah, I guess so.

00:56:41.699 --> 00:56:43.420
Dude, what are your kids watching?

00:56:43.420 --> 00:56:45.219
Are they making sports movies for kids?

00:56:45.219 --> 00:56:46.420
Or what are they doing?

00:56:46.420 --> 00:56:47.659
- I don't know.

00:56:47.659 --> 00:56:53.179
My kids like the newest space jam, but like you said, that's not really a sports movie.

00:56:53.179 --> 00:56:55.659
They watch a lot of rare TV shows from Disney.

00:56:55.659 --> 00:57:02.460
- Yeah, I feel like they're just cranking out TV shows for kids and not doing as many movies'cause maybe you don't take kids to movies as much,'cause it's $35.

00:57:02.460 --> 00:57:04.099
- Yeah, it's $1,000 million.

00:57:04.099 --> 00:57:05.820
- Yeah, nobody's doing that.

00:57:05.820 --> 00:57:07.380
Yeah, I think they could remake it though.

00:57:07.380 --> 00:57:09.699
I think they could still make a movie for kids like that.

00:57:09.699 --> 00:57:11.579
- Yeah, it'd be great if they would.

00:57:11.579 --> 00:57:12.820
Would it be a movie or a TV show?

00:57:12.820 --> 00:57:15.460
I'm guessing given our, it'd probably be a TV show.

00:57:15.460 --> 00:57:16.539
- Yeah, it would just talk about.

00:57:16.539 --> 00:57:18.539
- But you could probably, I'm telling you, you could make a movie.

00:57:18.539 --> 00:57:19.380
You could make a movie.

00:57:19.380 --> 00:57:20.219
- Did you recast it?

00:57:20.219 --> 00:57:21.059
- I did.

00:57:21.059 --> 00:57:23.219
- Dude, I just, I don't know what to do when I'm casting kids.

00:57:23.219 --> 00:57:24.059
I don't know any 10 year olds.

00:57:24.059 --> 00:57:25.980
- So, dude, I wanted it to be a girl.

00:57:25.980 --> 00:57:30.059
So I started thinking like, who was the last little girl that I saw that was really good?

00:57:30.059 --> 00:57:32.219
Did you see one's point of time in Hollywood?

00:57:32.219 --> 00:57:36.780
That little girl that was playing in the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio.

00:57:36.780 --> 00:57:38.059
Her name is Julia Butters.

00:57:38.059 --> 00:57:39.059
She's way good.

00:57:39.059 --> 00:57:40.059
That's who I want.

00:57:40.059 --> 00:57:41.539
And she's about the right age.

00:57:41.539 --> 00:57:47.940
For the rocket, the guy David Harbor from Stranger Things in Black Widow, that guy with the big beard, you know I'm talking about.

00:57:47.940 --> 00:57:48.940
Yeah.

00:57:48.940 --> 00:57:49.940
That's who I want the rocket.

00:57:49.940 --> 00:57:55.940
Henry's mom, I want Zoe Kravitz, because I like her and for Phil Brigma.

00:57:55.940 --> 00:58:06.019
I couldn't think of somebody that ridiculous, but I wanted somebody super funny and I I wanted a person of color so I chose my go to Donald Glover because I freaking love that guy.

00:58:06.019 --> 00:58:12.300
Yeah, and he is hilarious. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I don't know who you could have do be Brickba.

00:58:12.300 --> 00:58:16.460
I would go I'll be trying to figure out like his wippy goldberg to old for that.

00:58:16.460 --> 00:58:20.219
She would be a good Brickma. Yeah, she might be too old though.

00:58:20.219 --> 00:58:28.619
She's definitely too old. We could never get her for a movie like this, but it would be awesome if if the mother was played by Florence Pugh. She's really good. Who nice.

00:58:28.820 --> 00:58:31.579

- If you got kids or if you're like us and you're old, you should watch this.

00:58:40.579 --> 00:58:41.539
- Yeah, you should totally watch it.

00:58:41.539 --> 00:58:44.500
Take some ibuprofen and sit on the couch and watch it.

00:58:44.500 --> 00:58:46.659

- That's a sports movie.

00:58:54.019 --> 00:58:54.860
That's awesome.

00:58:54.860 --> 00:58:56.380
- Starting the events, it plays the table.

00:58:56.380 --> 00:58:57.860
- Dude, I've seen this movie once.

00:58:57.860 --> 00:58:59.739
I'm so excited to watch it again.

00:58:59.739 --> 00:59:01.900
- I owned it on DVD, I've seen it a bunch of times.

00:59:01.900 --> 00:59:02.739
I was not surprised.

00:59:02.739 --> 00:59:04.300
- I've been asked to watch it with you once.

00:59:04.300 --> 00:59:05.139
- Yeah.

00:59:05.139 --> 00:59:11.300
- I saw parts of it with Thad and Chris when they lived in that little pool house thing.

00:59:11.300 --> 00:59:13.699
- Yeah, I remember it being on in there.

00:59:13.699 --> 00:59:15.940
