Boom clap, Stokers.
And we are here with the wizard of wanking with a partner, Strider Wilson.
Thank you very much, my dog.
Dude, I'm running out of terms.
And we are here with the fourth member for our next draft,
the absolute legend, fan favorite, Chris Parr.
What up?
What's up?
What's up?
What a beast, dude.
What a beast, dude.
And Aaron.
Aaron's back.
We missed you on the last one, man.
Yeah.
But now we have someone.
We have an authority on the draft to give us the rankings afterwards.
Although we have different rankings going now.
We have Reddit and Instagram,
but it looks like Chad won
if you combined all three on the last one.
I feel like Chris, I guess, going by Reddit.
You're averaging up the three?
I'm kind of averaging the three, yeah.
And it's an inexact science.
Yeah.
But we'll see.
Yeah, I agree. Today we're doing action movies we're doing action movies today this is a big one this is huge and i think we all read this
fucking big we all read the same list to prepare we all hit the rolling stone trash top 50 list
we all grew up watching these movies together yeah Yeah. And then this time, we're going to go snake style.
So the first pick will now have the eighth pick.
Yeah.
And we did our order beforehand with a pretty riveting game of odds or evens.
And then the two finalists did paper, rock, scissors.
And I think you guys had four of the same in a row, right?
Yeah, we went scissors back to back to back.
It was pretty gnarly.
Wow, that's intense.
And then paper.
And then I got beat.
So first pick's
gonna be you strider second pick my brother third pick me fourth pick jad who will then have the
fifth pick should we just kick it off should we just get into it i'm fired up i'm ready to rock
and roll i got my first one should we address our dome pieces first oh you want to do that now
yeah yeah let's do it uh we shape a line down the middle to bring awareness for deforestation i did the unthinkable
massive sacrifice and uh i was way more upset before doing it and then after i felt kind of
liberated dude there was an intensity in your eyes after you did it and we slapped hands that
i had never seen before and i liked it but it also kind of scared me. You kind of looked like a sweet kid
who had been drafted into Vietnam.
That's what I felt like.
And had started killing people
and just giving himself over to the nihilism of war.
And was just like, I just murder people now.
I'm giving myself over to this.
Well, you know in Chernobyl when they ask the miners,
or they ask the guys to step into the water
to turn off the thing so it
won't just you know all blow up and just doom planet earth they're like why why should we do
this why us he's like because you have to do it he like he's basically you do it for your country
that's what you do and that's sort of what i felt like i felt that for the trees this is our
chernobyl and i i had to have the haircut for a couple days before you did it
and i was genuinely mad at you for not having the haircut i was like but not actually because i knew
it was ridiculous yeah but i was like what the fuck do i only have this haircut because it's
your fucking idea it was my idea because i'm a sadist i'm a sadist um he's like why do we do
all these things i'm like all your ideas you fuck why do we do all these things? I'm like, all your ideas? You fuck? Why do we do all these things to our bodies?
I'm like, these are all your fucking ideas, dude.
It's true.
It's a Mercedes and a Masochist.
But it's powerful, dude.
I think both in equal measure.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I posted about it today and people seem hyped on it, which was nice.
And we're doing it for the Amazon because we've lost about 17% of it.
We want to raise awareness.
We can't lose more.
It helps keep the carbon in
produces oxygen and you know it's home to a lot of nice critters and and and plants so you know
let's let's donate people donate to amazon conservation yeah stokers if we can do it you
can do it so shave a line down the middle of your dumbs raise awareness and then let's let's you
know let's fucking get the word out there.
And then send in the photos to us.
We'll repost.
Yeah, I think it looks good, too, dude.
Oh, dude, thanks.
Yeah, dude.
It's not bad.
Yeah.
Dude, I'll try to mean that.
Thank you, dude.
I'm excited to have short hair.
It'll be a fun new adventure.
Well, and also, I realized people would would be like why do you not want to
have that haircut i was like i'm single yeah i was like i'm trying to find a girlfriend man
i was like i got but you know what i like working from a deficit yeah it's also beyond honesty it's
why i like telling people i have herpes i'm like let's see if we can fight our way out of this
thing just turn towards me oh it's amazing i mean yeah i've told a couple dates already i'm like let's see if we can fight our way out of this thing just turn towards me oh it's
amazing i mean yeah i've told a couple dates already i'm like by the way i'm gonna have a
little bit of an h cut but they're cool with it yeah through text we'll see we'll see how they
you know how many more hats have you guys bought i just bought this one but i i'm interested to
see it you know if if a girl wakes up to me and I'm like, what's up?
We'll see if she's down.
I went to sleep next to someone I wore my hat while I was sleeping next to them.
Oh, did you?
Yeah.
I'm going to tell that story later.
But I was like, I'm wearing it while I sleep now.
And then also, Chris, I have your wedding coming up.
And you and your fiance have been really cool about it. But I know you guys want me to.
I'm officiating.
So you want me to have some kind of hair solution by then?
Yeah.
Well, just because you're going to be in every picture of us at the altar and yeah you don't want a distraction
no i know you care about the rainforest but i know yeah well it's just like it's just for the
ceremony you know for while you're officiating so once it's, I don't expect you to wear it throughout the whole wedding.
I don't imagine it would stay on
once you hit the dance floor for a certain amount of time.
I don't think so, yeah.
Not the way I go.
That it's not.
But it's really just for,
I mean, maybe for the pictures beforehand,
I wouldn't mind if it was on.
And then, yeah, for when you actually, you know, marry us,
I would prefer not to have.
You prefer it not be Mugatu?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
It's Mugatu, dude.
It's true.
It's a freaking b-hole down the center, dude.
It's amazing.
It's a freaking butt crack head, dude.
But it's not a lot.
But it's brave.
Butt crack head.
Get a nice lead on how to.
I got a lady who's going to help me patch it up.
A friend of mine, Will, hooked it up with the Connect.
That's sick.
Following up with her tomorrow.
She says we can do it on that timeline.
She's going to give me a weef piece or something like that.
I love that.
A weef piece.
Yeah, she had terminology.
She's thrown terminology at me, so I trust her.
Did she glue it?
How does that work?
I think that's how it's going to work, yeah.
Cool.
All right, well, should we...
Don't take...
I'm ready to rock, bro.
Don't take mine, dude.
Don't take mine.
The first one's not going to be exciting or crazy.
I think we all know.
But are we doing it?
Go.
All right, bros.
My first pick, freaking, of our four, we're doing four.
My first pick has to be be and it's tough because
there's so many dank ass movies but i gotta go with terminator 2 oh dude day and now here's the
thing i saw this movie when i was a young kid yeah and i immediately knew i saw it before terminator
one i was like that's the sickest movie i've ever seen in my life so amazing the police station battle everything is so sick dude the villain's
amazing dude the cgi stuff looks so sick um and it's one that is also a sequel that is better than
the prequel or than the original when he's in there um when like the cops are all in the parking
lot and like the helicopter comes out and he's shooting like the smoke grenades out yeah because
that's in an office building but there is a police station battle
in the first one.
In the first one.
That's where the fitness line,
I'll be back.
I really feel bad about my pick
that Chris also knew
that that location was an office
and not a police station.
Yeah.
But there's a lot of cops there.
There are a lot of cops.
Yeah, and he's got the smoke thing.
The weapons he has are very cool.
They're so amazing.
And dude, when he's just loading
the shotgun on his bike,
just...
And like shooting that grenade launcher. I think when he's on the bike and he's flipping the
shotgun which i guess arnold walked around his office just practicing that for days love that
and then the the t whatever t1000 is chasing him in the truck the semi and he's on his dirt bike
very sick and then i think linda hamilton getting shredded in that one yeah it was big and then the
way that they humanized the Terminator character at the end.
Yeah.
Amazing.
The sacrifice.
Dude, all around, just undeniably dank movie.
If you showed that to aliens and it landed on this planet, they'd be like, that was fucking
sick, dude.
I get it.
I get it, dude.
That's a good metric.
So it's got to be my first pick.
T2, Judgment Day.
Dude, when the T when the t1000 is
driving a truck later and then our and then they're a pickup and arnold gets right on the
front with the m16 oh my god yeah through the window it just looks so cool it's just getting
lit up it's amazing that liquid steel thing yeah it's nice because he gets to get pumped full of
bullets but he still keeps coming and that's aged well too, too. The Liquid Steel. Could watch it today.
It's still very watchable.
I think all the great action movies, they have a great villain, right?
And that's like, he's still on.
In the later Terminators, they can't top that villain.
They keep trying to come up with a new version of a Terminator that's better than that.
It's like, nothing's better than the Liquid Steel.
It's incredible.
And Terminator 1 is essentially a slasher movie with a sci-fi robot.
And they hearken back to that in the sequence in the home when he goes in there and he comes with the knife blade.
So you get a little bit of a slasher horror film within an action movie.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Which is fucking sick.
You need a genre, Ben, if you're going to be number one.
Correct.
You can't just live inside of action.
It's got it all.
It's James Cameron.
I mean, come on.
And he's fast in this one, which is like really fucking fast.
Yeah. so it's
like it was just a total game changer and then yeah basically every to your point like every
other terminator is just kind of like it's a t1000 plus like in the most recent one it's like
that the t1 that like the liquid on top come off and make a whole other just a t1000 and then
there's still a regular terminator so it's like two of them but yeah it's just not interesting
it still doesn't even feel like a good top the first one yeah yeah do we uh we we
played with the t2 shotgun in arnold's office yeah i was i was spinning it around you know
that's awesome and it got stuck i was like oh no i fucked up the shock is it heavy uh he's so jacked
he's so and what just what a great action star I mean you have
the pinnacle of
action stars
yeah
in that
he's in
I'm not gonna mention
other movies
because they might
come up
but he's a fucking
beast dude
you don't take mine
because my mind's
already racing
I'm already making
adjustments
I'm choking
let me ask you guys
this real quick
did you guys expect
that was gonna be
number one out of the game
I thought it could be
yeah
not a sexy number one pick but it's
gotta be there that was my number one it's chris mad max jury road oh let's go bro great movie dude
come on was that yours really no um it's uh see i was worried that he was gonna take that it's so
cool i remember when i saw that in theaters and i feel like this was experienced for a lot of people. Like it just starts with such a bang and it leads all the way up to like
the sand electrical storm.
And then after that scene like ends,
like I remember breathing for like the first time,
like I felt like I'd been holding my breath for like 30 minutes.
And the way the cars jump in,
like on the first shift,
right.
Cause they kind of fly in.
It's just,
it's just go,
go,
go.
And then it slows down for
like five minutes and you have a great tom hardy charlie's fight um the music's and then it just
goes goes goes for until the end of the movie music's awesome it's so fun yes it's like real
it's like analog yeah there's i mean the pole cats the dude's swinging on the thing it's so
it's just like weird and fun.
There's a variety of different kind of action scenes.
There's a lot of hand fighting.
There's gunfights.
But it's just so much stuff going on.
There's so much problem solving that they have to do while it's all going on.
One of the wives gets snatched, and they got to get her back.
And then the truck's breaking down.
And they just took like, The Road Warrior was just such a,
it was a movie that we watched all the time.
And they're just like, yeah,
what if that action scene from the end of Road Warrior
was just a whole movie?
And it was so awesome.
All the cars look amazing.
They all work, you know what I mean?
And they look so cool.
The aesthetic is incredible.
And truly the essence of an action movie,
the entire movie is motion.
It's fucking motion, dude.
It's unbelievable, bro.
And the fact that when you get to the pinnacle point, you're like, what's going to happen next?
We got to go back.
That's where the green's at.
That fucking twist.
It ends where it started.
Yeah.
Beautiful.
And she rips his face off at the end.
Yeah, bro.
Fuck that guy.
Good, bad guy.
Morton Joe.
Morton.
He's so cool all this all
the weird stuff too like with like the breast milk and like a lot of symbolism yeah a lot of
good symbolism baked into it the witness me stuff love that so fun it's it's a it's an amazing movie
amazing movie i say that before i nut a lot of times witness me it's my safe word actually
oh for real yeah oh not my safe word but it's my
nut word do i okay so i got i could pick the one that i think is my third pick but i don't think
chad would take it so i pick something else that i think chad's gonna snake back and here's the
thing you got us sitting over here and you know we'd take it if it wasn't a snake all right well
i'm going with my number one i'm going heat baby let's go yeah baby great movie great movie the
best oscar caliber film you know what i mean
could have been a best picture window you got titans of acting littered throughout you got
pacino and de niro in their first scene together not an action scene but then also the thing i
love in action movies besides like in mad max you're just like how did no one die when they
made this but the thing i like the most in action movies is like when you're like oh this is like
the pinnacle of badasses and it feels real and you're like this is what it would
feel like to like watch uh like high caliber killers go at it and then that movie to me is
the best at it like just the action scenes are so well choreographed the sounds the way they move
and then the way they even hold the guns like i guess they used to show val kilmer reloading his gun in like military training like you can't reload faster than this
man like get out of our army no way yeah because it's just he's so sick with it and then val kilmer
one of my favorite performances by him but you care about the characters and you and mccullough
good bad guy and you kind of don't want him to die at the end because he's got a code he sticks
up for his dudes he doesn't hurt people unless he has to and then you know pacino is a wild man in it and almost the
scenes i like the most are just the dialogue stuff but the action scenes are incredible coming out of
the bank is coolest it's unreal yeah i just listened he was not to pump another podcast
while we're doing this no do it but michael Mann was on the rewatchables. Was he really?
And they were talking about Heat.
And they're like, the choreography of how they all move.
And he talked about they set up how they were going to do the coming out of the bank.
And he's like, so these kind of guys,
they're military trained.
If they get ambushed, they have to shoot their way out.
And they know that they would be able to outmatch like cops who just are
trained to take on civilians,
not soldiers.
And he's like,
we set up like where the cars were going to be.
We set it up on a gun range and they use live rounds and practiced it.
And he said that De Niro and Val were like out shooting a lot of the cops
that were there and that they got hyper proficient.
These are high level performers.
Yeah,
exactly.
It was very complimentary of him.
And they were talking about the way that you're watching
other people move in the background.
How did you think to do that?
And he's like, I wouldn't think to do it any other way.
It never crossed my mind to not do that
because why wouldn't I want to show that?
And he talked about how in action scenes,
there still needs to be an objective
and there needs to be like,
you should be able to do scene analysis like you do on a dialogue scene but even for an action scene and just the noise of the gunshots it's haunting it sticks in your mind it's amazing and uh you
know uh in acting classes they always show the the scene al pacino and at the coffee shop
because it's there's so much tension but it's all just you're just reading their fate it's like the in such a good action movie it's like the
height of acting as well yeah it's like that's the scene i think i re-watched the most just that
coffee scene because it you know there's such good actors that it's just like you're just
it's all in their fate it's just i don't know so he said about that that like he couldn't really
use different takes because they were so in tune with each other right that like that whole scene
is he couldn't remember exactly but that it's pretty much one take because he had two cameras
filming them both at the same time and they didn't rehearse he said that he wanted it to be
that yeah he didn't have him rehearse because he wanted all that energy on
like when they started filming yeah it's unbelievable so that's my number one pick it's so
it's a great pick dude all right chad you got two in a row here partner i got two okay uh i'm gonna
first one dark knight oh nice all right pretty sick pretty sick all right fucking
what's your beef what's your beef little derivative
of a
you know
Michael Mann movie
but yeah
sick sick sick sick
no I'm fucking kidding around
go go go
no you're not
most of the rankings
I looked at
had that near the top
I just
I don't
yeah
yeah
we all hate it
but go ahead
you all hate it
no no dude
it's a sick ass movie
I've seen it a million times
when I saw it
I thought it was a mess
bro the bank robbery scene
when they're ziplining in
sickest fucking thing I've ever seen a million times. When I saw it, I thought it was a masterpiece. Bro, the bank robbery scene when they're ziplining in is the sickest fucking thing I've ever seen.
Dude, please, please.
Whatever, dudes.
That's my pick.
I'm not even going to explain it.
You might not win the room in this one, but then when the Reddit and the Instagram sees it, that's going to be everyone's number one.
Yeah.
Yes.
Number two.
All right, this is tough.
Number two. I'm going to be everyone's number one. Yeah. Yes. Number two. This is tough. Number two.
I'm going to go with The Matrix.
I was thinking about taking it.
I was thinking about taking it.
Dark Knight and Matrix, two action movies I rewatched the most.
And I think The Matrix took action movies to a whole new level.
So, and conceptually, I mean, it still the the um the subject matter is still so you know
it's it affects you even more today when you think about it because they're you know there
it was way ahead of its time and uh a lot of people were bagging on keanu for his performance
you know he's sort of like the butt of every joke but then i was you know re-watching it
and he is the perfect neo i think
because he he you know i was it supposed to be like will smith he's yeah he's a little bit too
i think perfect starting out where you're like i can believe him being the one but i think neo
sort of starts out where you sort of like you can feel his lack of confidence right in the beginning of the movie and then he becomes
the one i think and so watching that i was on shrooms but it just did feel a little more powerful
that time so sick as fuck um and i mean as a kid all i would do is i'd go swimming and i'd go to
the bottom of the pool and i'd run across the wall the video game was sick bro the line i know kung fu the fact the fact that he like leans back
like that was recreated in so many things yeah it's like it was truly revolutionary action
sequences the way the wachowski sister shot that it's fucking like yeah it's revolutionary and the
bank robbery scene or no the the lobby scene the lobby scene is oh someone was saying that if they
recreated that today they couldn't shoot it
any better than the way they did in yeah it's still the sickest and the outfits they're wearing
the sunglasses dude the cell phones yeah the no key everyone in the matrix crew is like good at
sex i remember watching i'm like these people all are good at sex together yeah i don't know
what they like to have sex with but they're good at having sex dude even machine or something else even cypher yeah even cypher yeah yeah yeah yeah maybe a
selfish lover but definitely probably good i could see him like the noises yeah like joe pesci and
casino i want to be it's good i want to be someone important like an actor yeah yeah that's so funny yeah just eating a steak
a super rare stuff orpheus's glasses yeah oh bro i don't even have i don't know they can't even hook
onto his ears they just sit perfectly on him and uh hugo weaving too oh bro he's amazing in that
yeah all right do i go with my heart or do i go with my head here i'm going with my head
i was going to say go with your heart but okay did you say you were going to go all heart we were talking about earlier i don't want to lose hot i don't know what i head here? I'm going with my head. I was going to say go with your heart, but okay. Didn't you say you were going to go all heart
when we were talking about it earlier?
I don't want to lose heart.
I don't know what I'm doing,
but I'm going chalk.
I'm going...
You guys already know.
You can guess it.
What do you think I'm going to say?
I'm not saying shit
because I don't want to steal mine.
I mean, I can guess.
What do you think?
The rock?
Close.
That was what I was going to say.
Fuck.
You know what?
Fuck.
I think I know what he's going to say.
I know what you're going to say. I wasn't going to do it. No, no, no, no, no, no. I wasn't going say. Fuck. You know what? Fuck. I think I know what he's going to say. I know what you're going to say.
I wasn't going to do it.
No, no, no, no, no.
I wasn't going to do it.
I know.
No, he's right.
I was going to go with another one that more people think is a better action.
But here's the thing, bro.
This might come back to get you because it needs to be your list.
And people might say, Chad influenced your list if you win.
Hey, good GMs.
Think about this.
Good GMs listen to talented personnel. All right. All right right all right oh dude you think i'm talented yeah i'm
going i'm going the rock after that dark night pick i'm going the rock and you know what i
already regret it but i'm going the rock why it's the best i'm going the rock standing a good speed
i was trained by the best god yeah incredible film. Dodged. Yeah. Incredible film. VX Gas.
Great bad guy played by Ed Harris.
Yes.
Tremendous rapport between Sean Connery and Nick Cage.
I think it's peak Bay.
You know, you got to have a Bay flick on there.
Just a wall-to-wall action movie.
Oh, yeah. And the one I was thinking is getting picked in the next three, but it's fine.
Or next four, rather.
But, yeah, I love The Rock.
I think it's just a great movie.
And it's just cool.
It's cool all the way.
And some of the action scenes that they thought of in that one,
I don't know who conceived of all the shit that would be at Alcatraz.
When they're in those little two cars,
and the cars that are suspended on the railways or something.
The mining cars.
Yeah, the mining cars are like there's
no way this is a alcatraz yeah and they're just driving and shooting at each other yeah and then
somehow mason is already like has his legs into a thing so when they swing by he just knocks the
guy like i don't know how he got there but it doesn't matter and then maybe the greatest maybe
the greatest line in action movie history and i'm sorry it's a bit crude but losers whine about
doing their best winners go home and
fuck the prom queen and then nick cage cocks the gun and goes what's her name carla carla was the
prom queen really oh yeah and did the the green the green the gas the gas yeah that sticks in
your mind unlike unlike the it's so visually. Visually, yeah.
He's like a very elegant pearl structure, except very dangerous or whatever.
It's just so cool.
Ed Harris is a bad guy, but he's a good guy.
He's got a code.
You know what I mean?
And then the bad guys who replace him are good, too.
I'll take pleasure in getting you.
Yeah, because they're just like psychos.
Yeah.
They're mercs.
You know how this shit works.
I want my fucking money. And just and sean connery's
just a badass dude you just you love him frankly i think you're a fucking lunatic yeah right after
he quotes oscar wilde yeah chris you're up oh it sucks because you i really wanted a 90s action
movie in there and i don't think i'm gonna get one Oh, maybe I can do that later. I'm going to go with a Sword and Sandals movie.
Gladiator.
Fuck.
Oh, dude.
Fuck.
Fuck.
I mean, I remember we walked into, we saw a movie and then walked into Gladiator because
we were too young to get into rated R movies by ourselves.
Watch this, walked in, it was a chariot fight and watch that watch the whole watch the rest of the movie and
then went home like mom you gotta take us to gladiator tomorrow and we just went straight back
it has so many memorable fight scenes the the tiger fight is like amazing when he just runs
through the gauntlet and there's like 12 dudes and he just and it ends with him chopping off the guy's head and yelling, are you not entertained?
Great bad guy.
There's just, all the action scenes are amazing.
What's your favorite?
For a long time it was a chariot fight,
but I think I'd go tiger fight.
Above Battle of Carthage?
It's tough because
when a person gets cut in half,
the lady goes, ah!
And Joaquin Phoenix's reactions to the blood
and then when he gets tossed a sword
and the music comes in
and he's
and then it's kind of like
we have a better chance of surviving
if we stick together
when the one guy was like soloing it
hearkening and he gets shot in the leg
it's probably the beast
I go back because it's also like the fight with the tiger guy when he when he flips to his left hand you
know what i mean and he switches up stances or even when he's when he's on the ground you know
the sorry the accent of the toe and then throw in the shield into the guy's face it's just so
cool and then he lets him live. And it's a good movie.
It's got a lot of heart and it's smart.
It's poignant.
You've got to have Ridley Scott if you're doing action.
I mean, you have to.
Yeah.
You were going to take that one, huh?
100%.
100% my next pick.
Yeah, I was really excited to take that from Strider.
So you were going to take The Rock over Gladiator?
I was going to take The Rock over...
I like The Rock more than gladiator
probably the two movies i've seen the most in my life are those two movies or one of the two that
you're gonna pick now well i was just one more part from the gladiators the first guy at the
gate at the like first fight with the spike ball just right first guy out of the gate just
smacked in the face and he steps back and they got if you're scared you die yeah it's like that's
the lesson and the guy he's handcuffed to like that guy dies and he just chops off his hand
and the fact that he puts the earth in his hands too so what a great move dude yeah i do that
before playing touch football just fucking the fact that russell crowe's spanish yeah right this
is a scar not gentle yeah well What do you say to your wife?
Let's not be a business.
Yeah, he gets down.
Dude's amazing.
Strider, what's your picks?
My pick?
You guys can probably guess it.
I gotta go safe and private ride.
Dude, I was gonna maybe do it.
Yeah, it's on my list.
I got you.
And you're a World War II guy.
Love World War II.
I'm picking with my heart here.
But honestly, like dude it's it's
fucking spielberg let's go the entire d-day sequence the handheld stuff him getting gritty
he's like breaking outside of his own shell which is a little bit revolutionary for him directorially
uh in an amazing story earn it you know the sacrifice earn the sacrifice beautiful message
um and it has just straight up some of the best fucking
action sequences like just as a straightforward action movie so good the sound mixing everything
the sniper fucking foobar fucked up beyond all reason amazing cast dude vin diesel crushes it
you know we know we love him from fast and furious umious. I think it was, was this before Fast and the Furious, right?
Yeah.
This was the 98, I think.
Yeah.
They said Vin Diesel was giving Spielberg directing tips on set.
No, he's stepping outside his lane like that?
Yeah.
Hilarious, dude.
We also got to give credit to Vin Diesel.
Great message that he sent to The Rock the other day on Instagram.
Dude.
Way to bury the hatchet and look for resolution.
Hilarious, dude.
Amazing. Little brother Dwayne.
Amazing. Little brother.wayne. Amazing.
Little Brother.
Hey, Little Brother.
Amazing.
But, okay, so that's just like a fucking straightforward,
maybe my pinnacle.
It wasn't my number two.
It was my number two,
and I really wanted to be my number one,
but I had to pick T2 Judgment Day
because of how revolutionary it was and influential.
My number three pick.
You got to have a fun fucking action movie.
You got to have a fucking movie you can put on at any time
and play in the background.
Con, motherfucking air, dude.
Dude, yeah.
I was hoping you would do that.
It's going to be fun.
Can we hear your impersonation?
Put the money down.
Tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree
because this cowboy's coming home.
He's coming home for good.
Dear Casey, those pink puffballs you've sent me
have made me quite popular.
My birthday is July 14th.
My daddy comes home on July 14th.
I mean, dude, the legend building they do of each criminal,
it's a celebration of criminality.
It dives into all the six sex of our
society this obsession we have with the insane um it's got just got great acting amazing sequences
incredible one-liners and a fucking fantastic villain in john malkovich yeah cyrus the virus
fucking throwing a cigarette and he goes the way he enunciates sigh. The way he enunciates his words. The way he enunciates his words.
I said words wrong.
I wish that was intentional.
That would be hilarious.
Yeah.
The last thing your little daughter will smell is my stinking, rotting breath.
Dude, amazing line.
When he's talking to Johnny Trejo, Johnny 26, Johnny 600, if they knew the truth.
He goes, I equate you to that white foam that goes around the surface of your mouth when you're really thirsty you disgust me so he despises the rapist but he
knows that he has a goal so you're like this guy's got code he has honor he has a he's a mission
yeah he has he has like a hierarchy of criminality and and he's a mastermind so everyone else is kind
of behind him also i think of all the movies we've picked,
and I think this is good for an action movie.
It's the most ludicrous of all the ones we've,
like The Rock is ludicrous,
but like Con Air is all not good.
Like first that he goes to jail for defending his wife in a bar brawl.
It's like,
he would not.
And then in the end,
when John Cusack's like,
are you hearing me?
To like Cole Meany's character about not shooting it down.
So they let the plane get to Las Vegas.
Yeah, dude.
Kill 2,000 civilians or something like that.
And we were in Vegas.
And if you've been to Vegas, the airport is literally right next to the strip.
Yeah.
Like they could have made it to the airport.
They would have made it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Makes no sense, dude.
You're wrong.
Probably the most used gif of all time, too, is Nicolas Cage running from the fire.
Amazing.
One of my favorite scenes of all time.
Yeah.
What does he say?
Well, this ain't exactly my ties and yachts, but let's do it.
Oh, dude.
There's so many.
It's your barbecue and it smells good.
And what he says to his best friend who's got diabetes before he saves himself.
Baby-o.
All I can think is that God doesn't exist. He goes, I'm going to show you God does exist. good and what he says to his best friend he's got diabetes before he saves him baby oh all i can
think is that god doesn't exist he goes i'm gonna show you god does exist dude it's so fucking
it's also and then he's walking and then a guy shoots him in the arm and all he does is go
it's amazing and dude all the nicknames that they have are so fucking incredible
billy bedlam cyrus
uh oh dude garland green i mean come on steve buscemi so good about malkovich he doesn't like
the rapist but he likes the cannibal because he's like i love your work yeah yeah because he knows
that he has a code even though it's not his code but he's like you have principle yeah or you have
style you'll wear a girl's face for three states yeah that weird scene there's some weird scenes
in there too dude yeah
some troubling scenes in the in the drain pool nothing good ever happened in a drain pool i think
we can all agree to that actually that's not true dog bowl dropping in that's fucking sick as hell
i take it back immediately but she survives he doesn't do anything that's true chris i'm really
torn my pick might come back to me baby i. I'm going to go Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Smart, smart, smart, smart.
First, I'll talk a lot of really cool fight scenes,
one of which won Best Fight at the MTV Movie Awards,
which is when Zhang Zi's character fights a whole bar of people
after she disrespects some dudes,
and she just jacks them all up.
She's armed with the Green Destiny, a super badass sword.
And she just beats everyone's butt.
But that's not even the best fight in the movie.
The best fight in the movie is when she fights Michelle Yao.
And it's just one-on-one.
And she still has this Green Destiny.
And it's Michelle Yao in her own training complex.
She has to use five different weapons because this sword eventually just cuts through everything.
At one point, she just grabs just a big-ass bar and just fights with that.
And it's the fight scene that I find myself YouTubing the most.
I think it's so awesome.
And the whole movie is just really beautiful
it's super long and just people get like throwing stars thrown into their face and die it's gnarly
you know what i mean you also have like it's just super cool i remember and it was a movie when i
saw it i like it like blew my mind I remember how much it impacted you
yeah like I came home
and I was like
I've never seen
anything like that
yeah
like when they're running
on the bamboo trees
you're like
dude this is incredible
I was just watching
like what is this
my favorite fight scene
is when she fights
her boyfriend
that's a good one
and it's
because it's cute
yeah and then they end up
hooking up in the desert
let's go dude
yeah
and there's a nice
you know he's
before that
it's like foreplay
of her trying to shoot him with arrows while he's just dodging them and they're both on horseback
nice dude i think you guys kind of fucked up dude my pick came back to me what do you got
it's i mean i don't even want to pick it but it's the greatest action movie in history
die hard oh fuck that was mine it's great i mean because here's the perfect film here's why i think
die hard is the best of all time.
The action's not the best, right?
It's not on the same level of creativity as Michael Mann or Sam Private Ryan or Crouching Tiger.
Or The Matrix. Those movies define new action choreography.
This one doesn't have that.
This one's more like...
It's foundational.
It's more basic.
But for me, it's the best because it has the best protagonist mclean john mclean and it has the best villain
hans gruber it's great like cool euro trash thief pretending to be a terrorist and then just the
most annoying like just like rocking your shoe just not quite like full badass but just like just american grit dude
just every man he makes you believe you can yeah he's not he's not jacked like the other guys but
he still looks good he still wants to sleep with him he's still wearing a beater my favorite line
is the blonde henchman who's great when he comes back and he starts trashing shit and then his ex
wife's like john's still alive and how do like, how do you know? Only John can piss someone off that much.
So good, dude.
You also have the Ellis character who's so funny.
Bubby.
Oh, yeah, Hans.
Bubby.
Yeah.
And then the watcher.
Yeah.
And then Winslow at the end, dude.
Frickin' great character.
And one of the best lines of all time.
Oh, yeah.
Yippee-ki-yay.
Yippee-ki-yay.
And great one-liners. That's it. We haven't got into one-liners yet yeah that one's got some great
one the rocks i got some good one-liners on mine right now yeah i'm feeling strong in the one-liner
it's a great pick it's a great pick it's something that i did debate putting as my first pick because
it's foundational and this is me i'm trying to pander to the uh stokers right now listening of
jt's pick is very strong right here but you you have to go T2, Judgment Day.
I'm getting the three hole, baby.
The three hole is solid.
Do you like, because I do,
Die Hard with a Vengeance
more? I do like that more as a movie.
I do. But also that's because we saw it first.
Right. I saw Die Hard with a Vengeance
when I was like six.
Die Hard with a Vengeance is sick. If you pick that,
that's a sick pick. And if I was going more personal i would but i just think diehard's like because
it's like how do you top diehard it's like put sam jackson in it and if we would have seen the
first diehard first i think we would probably like it more but i think so yeah i think because
when we saw diehard with a vengeance like we were like eight and six i think it just it is i don't
know though that's just my speculation on it yeah it was a simon says right they just wrote a script called simon says we're like throw john
mcclain in it well i do love it the stuff where they're solving the riddles is exciting and i do
like the racial tension with samuel l jackson yeah those scenes are great and it adds like a real
because that john mcclain character would be kind of ignorant in that department so it added a nice
charge there yeah but he called me jesus i look puerto rican you yeah i said hey so he said hey
zeus like i'll throw a lightning bolt up your ass motherfucker yeah samuel's the best um yeah
maybe i have and jeremy jeremy irons is an amazing villain he's very good yeah yeah just
he's related to hans gruber it's his brother that's right but you guys are gonna make everybody
not vote for diehard now on my list.
That's what I was trying to do.
Enough slandering Die Hard.
No, I support Die Hard.
Just money in the waters.
I just got to mention the other hot villain.
What's her name?
Oh.
Jeremy Irons is like.
Oh, the hot lady who's good with a knife?
Yeah.
I didn't even know her name.
Dude, yeah.
She's a smoke.
Yeah, because she knifes that one guy and won't stop slicing him.
And then blood's everywhere. And Jeremy Irons catches the knife and he's got blood on him i
think he's dead my dear yeah dude and she's just like i kind of want to keep stabbing this guy
yeah all right it's gonna be tough guys we're coming down in the i mean with action moves i
could have done like 10 bro there's so fucking many dude we could go for another round if we
want yeah maybe we'll do yeah we'll do it we'll do it we'll do a fifth let's do a fifth let's do a fifth chad what do you got do i have two or one you get two yeah
because we're gonna do five so you're finishing your list but you get two here don't fuck up like
you did with the dark knight i'm kidding dude i'm just that's everyone's dude i'm razzing you dude
it's a great movie it's on every fucking list dude it's sick as fuck dude when i saw it dude
in the theaters i popped wood for real what are we talking about dark night it's a sick movie dude no you're doing good
you're doing a good job of undermining everybody else's list that's what i'm doing you really let
my brother off the hook with crouching tiger i'm being demented no but i really do i respect okay okay okay um
all right uh i think raiders of the lost ark nice dude good third pick let's go bro raiders
of the lost ark indiana jones you gotta throw indiana jones in there you gotta get harrison
ford in there i was like i was like do i do fugitive or rays of the lost ark i think i think i probably enjoy fugitive
more but i think raiders of the lost ark is more iconic and and just uh set the stage for that
dankness to be honest i don't remember a lot of it so i can't really recount so much but i'm like
yeah dude and she crushes it in that such a good villain so hot i only go for movies with hot
villains sort of like my list just hot blonde actresses um i uh and then my fourth
so what are your three right now so dark night matrix raise Ark. So you've got a sci-fi, you've got a historical, you've got a superhero.
Chad, I don't want to create too much beef with you,
but wouldn't you agree that Last Crusade is sicker than Raiders of the Lost Ark?
That is true.
And it's got Sean Connery in it.
It's the same thing with that.
I saw Last Crusade first, and how do you make Raiders better?
You add Sean Connery.
Can I change my pick?
Dude, when they go to Petroville I don't do this to your list.
You can't because my list is so sick.
Can I change my diehard pick
to diehard with a pick?
Or can I change it to Last Crusade?
If we let Chad do that.
No, no, no.
Aaron's like no shot. shot all right i respect it what's the what's the what's the
fourth uh oh yeah the one with shia labeouf oh the crystal skull yeah that's my pick no it's not
i'm just kidding um did that south park episode they made up it's amazing the pinball um
all right this is tough right all right i'm just gonna another movie i love to watch all the time
casino royale no good pick i think it's my favorite bond movie so sick daniel craig got
to be my favorite bond got to pay homage to him he just completed his run and uh
it's very rewatchable i mean dude the the parkour
you're not into it no i was doing him busting through the wall during the
when the guy goes to the little slit in it and he just and you're like what is he gonna do and
then he just busts through the drywall yeah that's what i was doing but i didn't have enough room to
really fully run through a wall yeah the poker when he gets poisoned and then the i mean the
the speedo scene is like yeah bro when he walks out dude that's the thing coming off those
the pierce brosnan ones which started sick and then got progressively like more childlike and
kind of pussy ass yeah and then first scene daniel craig's busting through walls yeah and at the end
of it just shoots a guy in the fucking head yeah yeah and then you're like oh man i'm in it now
this is new bond and then when you see him jacked i remember golfing the next day with my uncle and my dad and my uncle was like you guys
see dino craig's body in that movie like dudes were hyped man dude and he and he because he he
totally he he's that perfect blend of like he has that sort of like that sexiness or that charisma
that bond should have but he also has the like sturdy capability where you totally believe that he's capable of all this shit because they give him the right backstory
where like yeah oh you went to oxford but like you were there off somebody else like paid for it
because you were like you you were like an orphan so he's like rough and tumble but also like wants
to be fancy and does all the fancy stuff but then he just also just punches the shit out of people
yeah and the torture scene oh the torch oh the balls yeah he's getting just punches the shit out of people. And the torture scene. Oh, the balls, dude.
Yeah, he's just getting hit in the balls.
When he starts laughing, dude.
One thing I'll say, though, on the neg side, the negative side,
I don't know if, is it Le Chiffre?
Is that the bad guy?
You're not a fan?
I thought it wasn't Mads Mikkelsen's fault.
I thought they didn't make the character,
because he's playing scared the whole time.
You know what I mean?
He's kind of on the run.
He's on the run, so he doesn't scared the whole time right you know what i mean he's on the run
so he doesn't have like the kind of the heft that i want from my my principal baddie like
javier bardem and skyfall is probably a better villain better villain for sure when he's like
when he's but then the torture scene where he's like people get too complicated with this thing
it's just really about inflicting more pain than a person can take yeah you know i i hear you
because like crying blood it's not exactly like like, it's menacing, but also
kind of makes him look weak.
Yeah.
And, like, when they come to kill his lady, and he, like...
Just doesn't say anything.
He's just, he's kind of a coward.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Also, he sweats too much.
Right.
He's a banker.
Yeah.
But just for, like, really bad people.
Yeah.
So he's bad, but he's not, like, dangerous.
And the way he sweats, where you just sort of like
you're too you're too wet dude yeah you know i thought it was a whack all right with my with
my pick i'm going billy zane and the phantom no i'm kidding i'm going uh where am I going? I can't believe that this one hasn't been picked.
Interesting.
I'm sure it's on our list.
Are you thinking like...
Well, so here's my thing.
I got...
I know what he's thinking, dude.
He's thinking.
I know what he's thinking.
I have an Oscar caliber action movie.
I have a Bay action movie.
I have...
All mine are pretty grounded and all pretty modern.
Think about your list.
How are you going to round it out, Ben? So I can go two directions, I think. I modern think about your list how are you going to
round it out best
so I can go two directions
I think I can go sci-fi
do you have a sci-fi yet
no what's your list
I got Heat
The Rock
Die Hard
okay yeah
you might need something
these are very straight ahead
I think I would
but you know
I'm a straight ahead guy
I'm not a big sci-fi guy
I don't
you don't love sci-fi
you didn't even like Dune
I love Dune
my favorite sci-fi movie
is like Serenity
that's like a western and dude I might put it at the four hole but it just doesn't I don't... Yeah, you don't love sci-fi. You didn't even like Dune. I love Dune. My favorite sci-fi movie is like Serenity. It's a great movie.
That's like a western.
It's fun.
And dude, I might put it at the four-hole, but it just doesn't...
I'm trying to win this draft too, you know what I mean?
If I put Serenity down there, I might as well just fucking...
Nah, you're done, dude.
Shoot myself in the fucking head.
Well, there's a better...
Maybe I'll pick.
All right.
Well, so this is tough.
Yeah, Space Cowboy movie.
The Clint Eastwood one?
No, no, no, no.
I'm saying like the archetype space cowboys and daniel craig
is he in that one space cowboy yeah or no no no cowboys and aliens sorry sorry sorry yeah okay
yeah the fucking what's the movie like the old dudes go to space yeah it's like tommy lee jones
and like uh clint eastwood donald sutherland definitely yeah am i going am i going the mummy
that's the question bro it's a good movie
good bad guy good bad guy so good dude um all right you know what blood diamond
no i thought i thought about i know dude if i was gonna go ed zwick i'd go last samurai
yeah that's a dope bro so sick sword fighting Aaron is sick i got two that's
the thing i don't have a sword fighter so ah man i gotta do it hopefully we do a fifth pick we're
doing a we're doing a fifth bro okay my number four yeah let's go we're doing 20 let's do my
number four i gotta do it i gotta do it braveheart oh it's a great movie bro yeah you did nothing
wrong in my book i gotta go braveheart Braveheart. I think incredible protagonist, great villain, long shanks, as evil as they come.
Who is this man who speaks to me?
Before he kills his son's lover and chucks him out a window.
Just a real sick puppy.
Also, none of my movies have the sadomasochism that you can only get from Mel.
Yes.
Yes.
The action choreography is insane.
It's got huge scale.
Like when they put up the sticks on the charging army,
probably the most emotional of all the ones I have too,
like genuinely moving movie.
Yeah.
Also has one of the biggest fuck ups in any action movie.
It's that there's this scene happening during the battle.
And in the background,
two extras are swinging like sticks at each other. And they're like barely hitting you're like oh man they didn't
have another only on 30th watch do you recognize that yeah we're all seeing it which i've seen and
that's another thing i watched the movie if it's ever on i watch yes i have to watch it um he's an
avenging hero you know they hurt his lady he would would not share her with the feudal lords.
You know, it's hard not to root for Willie Wallace.
He's just a beast.
Yeah, so I'm going Braveheart.
But I want another pick, dude.
I could go all day.
All right.
The thing about Braveheart and Heat, you put those movies on at any point, and you end
up watching the whole thing.
Correct.
And they're like nine hours.
Even on TNT.
Exactly.
Like your commercial breaks, let's go.
Three of my movies are
also like from like the 92 to like 97 range because i guess that's when i was that's a sweet
spot it was a foundational time dude they're better i mean everything after that was marvel
and shit yeah yeah dude no marvel yeah yeah that's one that my list is lacking is an epic war movie
yeah yeah but dark knight's epic though dark knight is epic But Dark Knight's epic, though. Dark Knight's epic. Dark Knight is epic, yeah. Yeah, Dark Knight's a good pick.
I'm like, my list is going to be kind of unbalanced.
What's your list so far?
So I have Mad Max Fury Road, Gladiator, Crouching Tiger, and I'm going Fast Five.
Oh, nice.
Wait, there's some stuff that's going to get left off the board here, though.
So I have two car movies and I have two
sword fight movies that it feels a little weird
the one's heist heist heist
yeah but like Fast Five that was like
I watched that whole movie in theaters
just like
just shoveling popcorn down
literally on the edge of my seat cause I was having
so much fun it was
one of the best theater going experiences of my life
yeah and they like throw in some hand to hand combat.
There's like driving off the bridge early or off just a cliff.
You know what I mean?
That whole scene.
The title sequence hits so hard.
Oh, yeah.
The bus.
Yeah.
Everything falls off.
Or yeah, the bus is flipping over and then it just goes fast five
and I was like
this is already
such a cool movie
it's where they
it's like
it's like the coolest
that The Rock's ever been
in a movie
because it's like
he has edge in it
you know
like his first
he's just so wet
the whole movie
which is smart
a lot of oil on his butt
yeah so much oil
and then like his first scene
he's just taught
it's like a walk and talk
and like anything else and he goes yeah stay the fuck out of my way like that's how you
meet this guy it's amazing yeah and then the two of them dragon paul and vin dragon the safe like
driving in tandem so cool good idea yeah they put so that safe they had like a dude was driving that
whoa it had wheels on the bottom there was a guy in there who was no way who was driving that. Whoa. Like it had wheels on the bottom. There was a guy in there who was driving it.
That's how they did it.
That's amazing, bro.
Yeah.
That guy's amazing.
Dude, that guy needs to be on the podcast.
They should make a movie about that.
Yes.
Also like The Rock and Vin, their fight is awesome.
They go through like six walls, you know,
and then it ends with him grabbing a wrench
and not, you know, smashing into his face.
Because Jordana says, Vin, no, don't.
Yeah, right as he picks it up. And. Because Jordana says, Vin, no dong. Yeah,
right as he picks it up
and he looks up
and he's like about to cry
and he's so,
but then they cut
and you see that like
he didn't smash him
in the face with it.
Because,
you know,
he's not that person anymore
even though he tapped into it
for a sec.
He was able to,
it's really good.
We only respect someone
if they have a capacity
for violence,
but we only respect them
if they can keep it in check.
And then the thing is fast five,
the face of this is Brazil.
This is Brazil.
And then like the final thing where he's just,
he's got,
he's the only one driving the safe and then he just flips it,
just takes out like six cars and there's so much like mayhem.
It's awesome.
It's fun.
Yeah.
Strider. All right awesome. It's fun. Yeah. Strider.
All right.
We're doing five.
Let's see how we feel after four.
Okay.
So I'll stick true to my fourth because if I get my fifth, I think I have the fucking
sickest.
I have the sickest fucking movie ever.
But to round out my fourth and to try to make Aaron jizz, I will pick a movie called Unforgiven.
That's not an action movie!
Yes, it is.
No, it's not!
No, no, no.
And I was going to preface this with saying...
What are we doing?
I was going to preface this with saying I'm deconstructing or I'm risking a J-Lo pick here.
But because Unforgiven is a deconstruction of the gunslinging that happens in western films
I think it belongs on this action list
Aaron are you jizzing?
No we're bored from your essay
So it's an essay pick and it could
tank my list but
because it's not an action
What's your favorite action scene in this action movie?
The bar shootout at the end when he says
everyone goes clearing out the back
The one scene of it
come so it really harkens to the realism the genre it harkens to the realism of gunplay
and i do like that you mean insofar as that it happens rarely yeah exactly exactly and especially
in the west well that's when you read all these accounts of all these and they have the guy
following them around trying to get his legend i mean look i want to go to stone i want to do some age of innocence or dangerous liaison because
they're emotionally violent look look look i opened myself i opened myself up here to take flack
and but but that was my list and so i'll stick by it yo if your movie but can i get my fifth
hold on hold on if you're if your four main people in your movie are 80 plus,
it's not an action movie.
Bro, this was in 92 at one best picture.
They're all 80 years old.
It was in 92 at one best picture
and Clint Eastwood was only like 78 at that time.
No, it's an amazing film.
It's one of the best movies about death I've ever seen.
And it's one of the most best morality stories
I've ever seen.
Gran Torino's an action movie. because it's because somebody gets shot in it
and he pulls out a fake gun yeah yeah i mean i just i don't know man i just think you should
you deviated too much from the genre all right you might be right if you would have gone with
armageddon i would have been like that's a sick list oh wait so does it not count because it's
not technically an action movie no i think you're stuck all right i should be stuck or you're
disqualified all right here's number five yeah i think you're disqualified all right strider i just want to say nice pick
dude fuck dude if you gotta compare dark night in that it's like yeah you talk a lot of shit
then you go unforgiving i'm like all right dude yeah dude but what does dark night have to say
about death dude i don't know shit uh all right here's number five we're swinging back around county you guys open it up point break yeah nice we're back i think
we're going to do four female director we're back it's a heist movie it's got amazing action
sequences it has skydiving would have been a hell of a fourth pick well look i look and i said before
i picked i said i'm sticking to my fourth because i think i'm getting the fifth if you really wanted to make the old judge jizz that would have been a good
point would it really god yeah but you're still jizzing if we do five these are our honorable
mentions we're just no get the fuck out we're just doing four we're just doing four we're just
doing all right keep cruising point break is a sick ass movie one of the best movies ever and
it's it's a shame that you said unforgiven before it so we won't be able to expound on it but
it was it's no point break was when i really hurt me to leave off i probably like i like
it more than die hard yeah it's amazing it's an incredible and you got to have keanu i think he's
the best action star of all time and you know you got to have him on the list bad guy's incredible
you love bode you love bode more than anyone and that sequence in the house with the lawnmower that fight fucking
Yeah, when they're running around he hurt his knee I'm an FBI agent I really should have picked it number four
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but you know what?
I'm a dumbass
I don't know. What do you think? I think we should just go for right? We're just wait. Hey guys guys guys
Guys guys guys guys, guys. I'm down to go five. Guys, guys, guys, guys. Hans, Bubby.
Chad already did five. We snaked back.
We're doing five. No, he's only got four.
Alright, Hans, Bubby, I'm wrong. Let's do
five.
Dude, are you forgiving, dude?
Yeah. I'm an idiot,
but... We're doing five.
Why did you... I want to write an essay
and I want to pander to Aaron.
But I pandered Ryan
Aaron you
had best
I totally turned on you
yeah Aaron
that's pretty demented dude
it's pretty demented bro
Chris go ahead
I'm gonna go
I'm forgetting it's a sick pick
for the listeners
it's a sick pick
these guys are all wrong
it's a sick pick
I'm gonna go with
I'm gonna go with
The Fifth Element
nice dude smart smart great pick great great it's my favorite
movie for several years uh it's another it's just a great bruce willis vehicle he gets to be
you know it's like similar to the john mcclain character he's super badass he's even more badass
in this but he's you know like wisecracking fun, but still has an everyman quality to him.
He wears a tattered shirt for a significant portion of the movie,
and he's wearing a tux to start, and then just gets progressively more shredded,
which is pretty cool.
Great villains.
Gary Oldman playing Zorg.
There's a great scene in it where he has a very cool gun
that he's showing off all the toys that it has, like a rocket launcher, a net launcher, a flamethrower.
Tracker bullets.
Tracker – tracers, yeah, for sure.
And then like a nitrous cooling system that can freeze something.
He really only uses a gun, but it's a great scene where he's just testing out a weapon which is so fun which I think is always nice when action movies have
other scenes that aren't just straight action scenes
but they feel really fun and action oriented
and then it also just has
the scene where he goes in
and negotiates and all he does is walk in
and just shoot the leader in the head
just looking around, anybody else want to negotiate?
boom, just so fun
I love the movie
Chris Tucker's weird, the opera scene's weird too very weird like chris tucker's weird
the opera scene's weird but i love that sequence the way it's intercut it's amazing yeah yeah
real personality with mila jovovich like destroying some aliens then you have the fun
floating cab chase scene chris tucker's my favorite and he's amazing he's so funny he's
dude his scenes used to make me horny
he was so seductive
dude the air
when they're in that
fucking plane
and he's boning
the flight attendant
yeah
that's drill factory material
yeah and then there's just
the guy who pulls out
like the juice
for the plane
and it's just
this big
grain like
tube of something
and then it ends up
being about love
which is nice
when they're boning
at the end
in like the little tube
yeah that's fire
that's a great boning scene
they leave the president on hold dude
yeah that's a good one
alright I got
so I'm just going to give away what my options are right now
no this is savage no you gotta just pick
you don't get to do this because that's Muddy in the Waters
which Chris and I already did
okay so here we go I have to go sci-fi
I need a sci-fi.
Respect, respect. My list right now is Heat, The Rock,
Die Hard, Braveheart. It's a good list.
It's solid. It's all chalk, but
I'm going to go...
I'm just going to try and win.
There's one still out there that...
We know what you know.
I know what it is. You know what it is. I think I know what it is
and I think I'm going to hit it right here. And I'm just going chalk.
I'm going Star Wars
Return of the Jedi
that's a great fucking movie
I love that movie
for action purposes
for action
I think it has the best action
smart
I think it's
I pissed
Aaron come on
no I know what Aaron's movie is
I know what his movie is
I know what his movie is
alright I'll tell you
what my other options were later
but yeah I'm going
Star Wars Return of the Jedi
it's a great pick
it's awesome
The Force Moon of Endor, as far as action goes,
greatest one there is.
It kind of broke a lot, because in all the other movies,
instead of one battle at the end, we need to have three.
Yeah.
Because you have the lightsaber fight, Endor,
and the space battle, which I felt like actually
ended up hamstringing a lot of future Star Wars movies.
Yeah, for sure.
Chad, last pick of the whole thing.
There's one franchise that we've left off
that i'm considering oh i know what it is but mission impossible oh yeah but i'm not sure
which one but then there's also another movie that i think is uh it's tough oh i know what
you're thinking after this we can guess what he's thinking i don't think it's i know i know
what you're thinking i have no idea what he's i know what he's thinking. After this, we can guess what he's thinking. I don't think it's that. I know what you're thinking. I think it's something else. I know what you're thinking.
I have no idea what he's thinking.
I know what he's thinking.
He's talked about it before.
You've talked about it before
on the podcast, right?
We've all talked about it.
Moneyball.
I've talked too much about that.
Yeah.
He's even talked about it
multiple times.
I know what you're thinking.
I think.
Is it Kurt Russell movie or something?
Oh,
we have no Kurt Russell on here.
Yeah.
Oh, dude, yeah. We'll talk about it. I think I'm Kurt Russell movie or something oh we have no Kurt Russell on here yeah oh dude yeah
that's
we'll talk about
I think I'm gonna go
with
I'm gonna go
with MI2
it's a great movie
oh MI2
I knew we were gonna do
MI2
cause the fucking
opening sequence
the rock climbing
you can't
yeah and the motorcycle
shit is sick
the motorcycle's so sick
John Woo
are there doves in that one
yeah
oh yeah
the flow
he has
about a thousand.
He has flow in there.
Yes.
When he does a cartwheel kick in slow-mo so that when he pops up, you just see his flow
just like waving.
Yeah.
And then the knife to the eye.
It's like a millimeter away from his eye.
And then the chimera.
I mean, it's pretty gnarly stuff.
100%.
Good supporting cast of you, Vin Rames being his dog.
Yeah.
Is that the one where he says, I think they put a hole in my Versace?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Because he gets really fancy.
That one, too, is like, I remember that summer, I got Taco Bell, watched that.
It was pretty huge for me.
It's nice.
All right, so let's, Aaron, what was it?
Or guess, guess what was it?
It was Aliens. I think it's Top Gun. so let's aaron what was it or guess what was it it was aliens i think it's
top gun i almost went top gun top gun over star wars return of the jedi cruise no i was hard
leaving tom cruise off my list right well that's everyone seemed to do it well yeah edge of tomorrow
was a maybe for me i thought about that too yeah. You can't just say top five all the time.
I know, I know.
I thought about Edge of Tomorrow.
It gets ranked on these.
The Rolling Stone list was around.
It said like Man from U.N.C.L.E., Atomic Blonde on it.
No, Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Lucy.
I like Man from U.N.C.L.E., but what is it doing there?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's crazy.
No, no, no, no.
Did we pick anything that came out in the last five years?
I almost did Hell or High Water.
Oh, Mad Max.
Or Sicario.
Mad Max was 2016?
Sicario is a sick ass movie.
Mad Max was like...
2017?
I think it's older.
It's probably like 10 years now.
I almost did No Country for Old Men.
It's a great movie.
Is that an action movie?
That was way more action than I was predicting.
I would definitely consider it an action movie? That was the thing. It was on the front. That was way more action than that. It's various.
I would definitely consider it an action movie.
I know you definitely an action movie for sure.
The thing about Dark Knight is I think Inception is a better action movie.
Right.
Bro, Inception is sick.
Yeah, you're right. I almost did Inception.
I was thinking about Inception.
But then once you picked the Dark Knight, I didn't want to pick Inception.
I just thought the villain, though, in Dark Knight is just so...
That's a good point.
Yeah, that's a great point.
None of us had any combat movies
like Enter the Dragon or
any Jean-Claude Van Damme kind of things.
Or Steven Seagal. Ooh, Under Siege could have been on there.
Or Executive Decision.
Yeah, Executive Decision.
So fucking good. Dude, with Kurt Russell.
And the misdirect with Steven Seagal.
Yeah, dude, yeah. And you know what movie i think has the best choreography for gunfights besides he is the town yeah i thought i was thinking i didn't think the town was gonna make it but it does a
town sick also choreograph your gun for gunfighting and somewhat revolutionary john wick very yeah
john wick's one of the one of the best theater experience of my life. And also, what was the other one?
Two Towers has some amazing actions. Yeah, I know Lord of the Rings.
I know, I know.
Speed, too.
Speed, bro.
Speed was tough to leave off.
So good.
But I like, like for, it was like Mad Max is like speed times a hundred.
A billion.
Yeah.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Okay, so of the three guys.
That's a good point.
Aaron, of the three guys who did action movie lists. Yeah, yes, yes, yes. Okay, so of the three guys... That's a good point. Aaron, of the three guys who did action movie lists...
Yeah, because I'm a man.
You guys are guys.
Oh, dude, the Bourne movies, too.
Bourne Ultimatum, for me, is my favorite.
It's tough between Ultimatum and Supremacy.
Bro, you better not tank my list because of Unforgiven.
The first one?
I just like the first one, yeah.
Yeah, Identity.
Look, Identity's pretty fucking cool, but... Unforgiven. A lot of people like... It's number four, a lot of people like it's number four
all right it's number four aaron let's give you a quick refresher on our list before you make the
ultimate judgment oh you're a beast dude all right here it's a beast no strider will you pass
him the mic yep here we go we can just say the list after you pick. He doesn't need that anymore. Yeah.
I might have to agree with that.
Strider, always starting strong and blowing it late. Yeah, the J-Lo pick has officially become the unforgiven pick.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Dude, Aaron's tone there, bro.
So damning.
Bro, it's in the four slot.
Think about that.
Yeah, you're lucky they went to five.
All right, well, consider all five.
Consider all five.
I mean, you did win some points back with Point Break.
Don't get me wrong.
Chris, start out strong, too.
Gladiator, as an action movie, is it better than Black Hawk Down?
Yeah.
Black Hawk Down is sick.
As a total movie, it better than black hawk down yeah yeah black hawk down as a total movie it is
i think that i think it's like the sword fights and all the action scenes in gladiator are 10 out
of 10 the thing black hawk down is really realistic yeah but the reason i like gladiator action scenes
more is because the good the and black haw Hawk Down is more complicated about that as well.
Yeah.
But the protagonist
is kicking more ass.
Yeah,
you don't really have any fun
in any of the Black Hawk Down
action scenes.
Yeah,
it's more like
American soldiers
kind of getting pinned down
and kind of fucked up.
Yeah.
Whereas like,
fist pumps,
you know,
like,
let's fucking go Maximus.
Like,
you know.
What about,
is Gangs of New York
an action movie?
Yeah.
I could have gone with that.
That's one of my favorite movies ever.
I probably should have done that instead of Braveheart for the action and braveheart's so much better dude the action no the action in gangs is sick though yeah but
it's still i just think it's cooler and yeah you're right you're right just him with that huge
sword just lopping off a dude's head i think mel gibson also has the best war cry i've ever seen
like when he's running down the screen with a sword,
you're like, this motherfucker could chop someone's head off.
And then the speech is...
And knowing what we know about him personally,
it's like, he could, he could.
Like the rousing speech that he gives,
like that's part of what makes that
like one of the best action movies.
All right, so what are you thinking?
So, yeah.
So I have that issue at Gladiator,
but I think you're winning me over with that argument.
Crouching Tiger is a weak pick.
I don't know if it belonged at three.
If it was your fourth, I get it.
It's fine.
He'd be laughed out of a frat for that pick.
Yeah.
Except for like one guy.
It's funny because once you went Crouching Tiger at three,
I was like, no, no, no. Sorry. You you went crouching tiger at three i was like
no no sorry what you went crouching tiger at three i was like
then when you went fast five and then fifth element i was like okay no i have no guilt
about not picking this one sorry oh i thought i thought you were gonna say that no it did not
turn did not win me back it's just kind of completely went off the road.
Yeah, that was harsh.
So.
Stupid.
I mean, if you can't guess by now,
it's coming down to JT or Chad on this one.
And it's really, it's tough.
I'm glad Raiders of the Lost Ark made it because I was, again, that was another movie I was like,
there's not going to be Indiana Jones on this at all like oh it should have been last crusade is last crusade a better action movie
it's a maybe a better movie because it's kind of a buddy film oh yeah the tank the tank
the venice boat chase that's good but the best scene the best in that whole umbrella
is not action the best not that mine doesn't have that either but the best scene in
last crusade is he picked he chose paul yeah when he when he punches the guy out of the zeppelin
no ticket great scene great scene and the airplane scene when sean connery works the
fucking umbrella yeah i remember my charlamagne i don't remember the quote but heat the rock die
hard brave heart star wars return yeah heat the rock die hard brave heart return of the jedi is
strong yeah he should probably win return over empire though again empire is a better movie than return of jedi i i almost i
kind of disagree actually i've always been more of a return of the jedi guy but i think you like
ewoks but i love ewoks they're adorable mama mama they say mama in english um and then but dude the
action in return of the jedi because you're just waiting for Luke to be really skilled with the lightsaber.
You come in on a Jabba the Hutt.
You get Boba Fett.
And then, is that the one with the speeders, too?
Yes.
Yeah, it is.
And then the final fight scene with Darth is pretty sick, too. It's the best lightsaber fight in all the original trilogy, is that one.
And then the space fight's amazing.
Yeah, Lando Calrissian.
Dude, I'm
yeah you're
taking out the
Super Star Destroyer
all the Endor stuff's cool
yeah
you're
you're swaying me
for JT
which is weird
I think his list is the best
he is my brother
yeah that's true
we did watch all these
movies together too
right
yeah yeah yeah
and Jedi was the one
that I watched the most
we should
we should probably
get one of Chad's brothers
in here to
back his play I don't know if they'd be as on board i don't even know what they would be
thinking my brother bill would probably be like you're stupid uh i mean chad starts out strong
dark knight which i love i i have no hate my heart for that pick thank you as your number one i might
have gone matrix number one.
Matrix was probably the strongest number two pick.
Yeah, for sure.
But he was in a turn.
It makes sense.
He'd have the strongest.
Yeah.
Oh, that's true.
He had the fifth pick.
Yeah, he got to go back to back, which is nice.
He could have flip-flopped those.
It'd make a little difference.
But you got Raiders, Casino Royale, I'm not as huge a fan of.
But I can't argue the opening sequence is amazing.
MI2 I love, you know, for the flow.
I think I got him.
JT does have him, though.
JT wins this one.
I think you guys were pushing a little bit harder for, you know.
Yeah, I thought his was better. Guys, you know, i thought it was better so guys you know to come
from the place i came from picking sean penn number one in the actor draft this is a huge
coup yeah to now sitting in the pocket taking chad's suggestion on the rock uh that's what
really oh because i didn't get a 90s action movie in there i should cheer against you because you
gave him the idea for the one that... I bet you Chad still
wins the Reddit. I was going to take Die Hard
because I thought it would get picked.
Oh.
And then it swung back to me.
But you guys weren't feeling Die Hard?
I'll have it noted you did not consider it the
fifth picks. The fact that Die Hard
made it to three. It is. It's a...
Die Hard rules. I'm a big fan.
It's the best Christmas movie ever. Best Christmas movie ever too.
Amen. Amen. What's a... Die Hard is... Die Hard rules. I'm a big fan. It's the best Christmas movie ever. Best Christmas movie ever, too. Amen.
Amen.
Shatter, you're...
What's up?
Probably going to go get a whiskey alone at the docks.
Probably going to head down to the harbor.
Do you know what my favorite action movie is?
Order a three-finger whiskey and just...
Mystic River.
What would you guys say is the movie you watch the most the rock the rock yeah or connor's
gladiator or braveheart the patriot bro maybe in general oh ever yeah maybe like rock okay
connor or the rock bad boys which didn't make it which i want to yeah bad boys is sick
back to the future qualifying yeah that's that's an action movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely.
I'm forgiving Pat.
Does Armageddon, any of those disaster movies?
Yeah, that counts.
I think Back to the Future counts,
and if I was doing best movies ever,
it would count,
but on an action movie list,
I would have to knock it down a little bit
because I don't know if it has...
It has a lot of thrills in it,
but I don't know if it has enough testosterone, I guess.
Yeah.
The only Marvel movie I would put on there is guardians because it has a lot of like fun set pieces that are
different and it's not just people shooting blasts at each other iron man one is a sick movie i do
i love avengers endgame too i if someone put that on there i mean that's a fucking skyscraper of a
movie and it's got some good action in it but all the action marvel movies there's so many of them it all feels kind of
repetitive that's why i like guardians because they actually feel different like the prison escape
yeah feels there's not a there's actual problem solving in it it's not just like oh we got to
fight this person and then you know eventually they win like there's like we need this to do this
and same with even the final fight scene the first iron man that's probably the
marvel movie i've watched the most right because one of the best action scenes is just him flying
dude exactly when he first starts flying through like santa maca pier and all that i mean it's
yeah and he freezes and he doesn't he just and he's like free falling like it's so fun my favorite
part too is when he gets the um he's like i need an american cheeseburger because i was living in
spain at the time and i was craving an american cheeseburger. Because I was living in Spain at the time, and I was craving an American cheeseburger.
So I would always watch that.
And then I found a Burger King in Spain,
and I got a cheeseburger,
and I sort of recreated that scene for myself.
It was pretty epic.
Dude, burgers are so dank.
It is.
I mean, there's no way Tony would have gotten Burger King,
but he did get Burger King.
No, I know, but I'm saying that was product placement that was oh right i was like but if it was real if
this was real like yeah i don't think he'd be going what do you think he would have gotten
in and out well he is a california boy yeah or like he lives in california so he probably would
have gotten in and out definitely not five guys yeah no no five guys playboys don't get five guys. Oh, yeah. What did we miss? No Predator. Predator's great. Yeah, I was thinking of Predator.
No Inception.
No Kill Bill.
No Bourne movie.
I thought about Kill Bill.
No Startup, which is just a little indie movie, but it's sick as fuck.
Startup is sick, yeah.
It's a good movie.
Last of the Mohicans.
Eastern Promises is a sick-ass movie.
Yeah.
Probably not quite.
Face Off?
Not actually. Face Off is a sick ass movie. Yeah. Probably not quite. Face Off? Not actually enough.
Face Off is a tough one.
You got a John Woo movie on there, which was huge.
Yeah.
Because he's in that category of like inventing an action style.
John Wick?
Yeah, that was tough.
John Wick's huge.
Dude, the Raid movies are...
I thought you were going to do one of the Raid movies.
I thought you were going to do one of the Raid movies.
I thought about it, but it's...
They're both really good.
Raid Redemption I probably like a little more um or wait sorry or ronan that's the chase scene ronan would have been a great movie yeah
you don't like running the edge maybe a survival i thought about that too with the bear edge of
tomorrow yeah it's great movie all right well so who do you think got second Chad and then who's third between
Chad's two yeah
and then who got third
between these guys
I think of my whole list
dude
ooh Independence Day
that's a fun
that's a great movie
dude
that was a sick one
I think Strider
did get
did get three
oh fuck
Chris
fuck
Aaron really didn't
like Crouching Tiger
but yeah my first
two picks are amazing bro Fast Five or Fifth Element either andouching Tiger But yeah my first two picks are amazing
And my first three
My first three
Come on bro
Too many moves
I try to get too heady with number
With number four
Yeah that was really
That might replace my Sean Penn pick
Nah it's number four it's not number one dog
Sean Penn At least Nah, it's number four. It's not number one, dog. You said Sean Penn.
Number one, bro.
At least he's an actor.
He's an actor.
Yeah, at least he fits the criterium.
Does someone get killed in Unforgiven with a gun?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's action.
So in the bedroom.
Someone gets killed with a gun.
Nick Stahl's character gets killed by her abusive ex-boyfriend.
And then he gets shot in the end.
Two people die from guns.
Wait, wait, what is this?
What is this? In the bedroom. This sad-ass fucking domestic drama. Wait, in Unfor and then he gets shot in the end. Two people die from guns. Wait, wait, what is this? In the bedroom.
This sad-ass fucking domestic drama.
Wait, in Unforgiven? No, in the bedroom.
Oh, yeah. I don't even know what that is, dog.
That's what I'm saying, because it's not an action movie.
No, but Unforgiven is sick and it is an action movie.
It is sick. I love Unforgiven.
My favorite Will Smith action movie is definitely Hitch.
Because of the sick wave runner scene.
You're not using your silver tongue to get out of this one, right i will murk the waters i will murk them here's the thing already lost chad good w done
get the fuck out of here best shooting scene in a movie in a western though i'll say this
best actions you know what quick in the dead's pretty dope but it's a little too
cartoonish open range yes kevin. Dude, that final action scene
is sick as...
Like, dude.
Robert Duvall, Kevin Costner.
They fly when they get hit by bullets.
Yeah.
It's very cool.
Tombstone, sick too,
but not enough action thrills,
I don't think.
Well, because it's a lot of like
point, shoot,
and then cut to somebody
getting hit by a bullet,
which is...
It can work a lot lot but sometimes it just
feels like. But very badass characters.
Yeah great characters. Better than Wyatt Earp.
It'd almost be like comparing Tombstone and Wyatt Earp
and Tombstone is better than Wyatt Earp.
Yeah. I mean Huckleberry.
Dude Doc Holliday's the man.
I don't know. Do we have time
to do cues or should we just do the other stuff?
Oh no one mentioned Jurassic Park bro. Jurassic Park?
You are done? Yeah. Okay cool. Is it cool if I take a leak real quick yeah oh jurassic park is sick that's
a good one oh you know what else i didn't i almost said that was almost my sci-fi movie minority
report i thought about it too for a second i thought about that too that's a great fucking
movie amazing and cool action all right let's uh let me get my laptop and then we'll do this
we're also brought to you by the legends that manscape manscape thank you so much for keeping
our trends peeved for looking after our hogs for making sure their dinks are looking
fresh and clean because what am i thankful for this holiday season i'm thankful for pubes and
the fact that i get to trim them and the fact that i can use manscape the lawnmower 4.0 and i can feel

All right, let's do some cues.
What up, Chad and GT?
I'm preparing to propose to my dank GF soon.
I need some help with a potential future issue.
I don't have a true squad.
I have a lot of friends, but the thing is I don't have any close friends that I would pick outside of two guys.
My GF on the other hand has like seven to eight potential bridesmaids. I know things don't have
to be even, but still worries me. Would love your advice. Thanks, Big D. Dude, I got a quick one off
the top. I would just ask some acquaintances to be your groomsmen. I think that's pretty hilarious.
I think have your two best friends and then just some dudes that you're kind of close to.
And then see how they react
to getting asked as well.
Like someone you've had
like a good time with once,
being, hey man,
I decided you're one of my groomsmen.
And then I think
once you pick them
to be your groomsmen,
there will be this like
unconscious or maybe conscious
desire from both sides
to make it worthy of that.
So then you guys will start kicking it all the time.
And then all of a sudden you do have some best buds.
Yeah, dude.
I mean, dude, planning a wedding, I'm like, bro,
either of you have siblings, you throw them in there.
Don't worry about it.
Just be like, hey, all your friends that you want in your wedding,
put all your friends in the wedding.
I don't have that many great friends, but guess what?
That's a powerful thing, dude.
It's like Doc Holliday is like, man, I got a million friends. I don't. Right. guess what? That's a powerful thing, dude. It's like Doc Holliday. He's like, man, I got a million friends.
I don't.
Right.
You know?
And that's fucking fine, dude.
So don't even trip about it.
Don't even stress about it.
It's going to be all good.
Let the wedding planner worry about it.
Get a wedding planner.
I try to do without a wedding planner.
They're the best.
You need one.
You need a decision maker.
And so let them worry about it, dude.
Fucking recruit a dog, whatever it takes to make it look aesthetically okay.
Walking down the aisle, you're fine, bro.
That's kind of cool if he only has one person.
That's even sicker.
You know what?
Cut your other friend out, dude.
Yeah, just go one.
But does that become a subtle commentary on how many bridesmaids the wife has?
Nah, nah, nah.
Let her have fun.
Everyone has their one.
I think you got to tell her, bring that number down just a little bit because there's got to be tears so yeah yeah yeah does she
does she really need eight because that's a big number that like the gap also have one of her
bridesmaids just be the officiant you already knocked one off the list have her bring that
number down if it could be like if it's different between like five and eight or like six and eight
because there's got to be tears in there true bring it down and then if you have two and then even if
you ask a couple more who you're not super close with at least it's closer you know what i mean
but like there are moves you can make just to bring the number down so it's not as big of a
gap that you have to fill and you could also just put one of her friends on your side
what's wrong with that totally Totally. Nothing crazy about that.
I concur.
All right.
Greetings.
Fathers of Stoke.
I'm a 21 year old Stoker who just graduated college a few months ago.
Recently, I've been struggling with finding a happy medium between self-restraint and
indulgent on nights when I don't go out or do something fun.
I feel a sense of anxiousness that I might be missing out on some aspects of
my early twenties,
but when I do let go a bit,
I feel guilty or that I might be doing something better for myself
by staying in and not indulging to all my vices.
Do you think it's possible
to find a way to balance the party side of me
that just wants to let loose
with the part of me that craves productivity and order?
Or is it just part of the human condition
to have to deal with these two sides
that are fundamentally at odds with each other?
Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated.
Love the pod and the small dong activism.
Keep up the stoke.
Dude, that's the story of my life.'ve been struggling with that i i i've been struggling
with that for like 10 years i um i don't know because i'll have bouts of sobriety and then i'll
have bouts when i'm like drinking and stuff but i think with the nature of what we do
for me at least it's performance and stuff uh you just have to for me i have to have my mind all there
if i if i'm like hungover i can't uh i just know i can't you know reach my full potential
with regards to performance and creativity so um it's sort of easy for me to to lean more towards
the side of sobriety but then not like you, whenever I am sober for a long time, I just have these intense cravings and desires to just blow it all off,
blow off all the steam and just,
you know,
like we finished this thing on Thursday.
I just got blacked out cause I hadn't been drunk in like a year.
Um,
and it was too much.
And now I'm just caught in this sort of like debate.
I'm like,
I don't,
you know,
am I, am I just not meant to party anymore i don't know because it makes me so sad not not that debate but just like the hangover makes me like intensely anxious and depressed
and like takes away all joy for life so i'm like but then i just want to fucking rage i don't know
so i don't know what to tell you dude but i'd go towards what gives you more long term i'd
lean more towards the sobriety side and give you what keeps you i think if you want to if you really
think about if you want to look back on these years and be like um uh know, what would you be more proud of?
What would yourself 10 years from now be more proud of?
And I'd go with that.
What do you guys think?
I think you're in your 20s, dude.
Go easy on yourself.
You're going to be all right, dude.
And I think we put ultimatums.
Even, Chad, what you were just saying of like, oh, I'm partying.
Am I not meant to party anymore?
It's like you're meant to party sometimes
yeah you're not meant to party all times i think it's true too like you don't have to make especially
if you're 21 and it doesn't sound like you've like done anything bad you're just like being
hard on yourself which is good but like you don't have to make up your mind completely on these
things like you can pick and choose and let it evolve organically i think maybe the thinking
about it so hard you know what I mean, that's stressful too.
So don't beat yourself up.
And the thing, if you're feeling FOMO
because, oh, all the boys are going out,
like I think like in college sometimes
a lot of dudes would go out,
but if you could just get one to hang back
and like let's crush a couple episodes
of Band of Brothers, you know?
And maybe you have like, maybe you don't drink at all.
Maybe you have two beers.
But that way you're, like, hanging out with one of your boys.
You're doing something.
And then it takes, you won't have as, you might still have a little bit of FOMO,
but at least you're doing something with a friend that you're not going to feel too bad about it.
You know what I mean?
Like, oh, all the dudes are out there raging.
And just also, like, I don't know, try having,
if you normally drink however many drinks,
knock a couple off the top and just stop there.
You'll probably have a good time.
You'll still be chatty, have a little bit,
but not have like, if you just do that a couple times
where you just mix those in, like,
oh, this is a night where I'm going to stay in
or this is a night where I just drink a little less,
you might not, you'll just get used to it and you won't feel as bad
like you're missing out on stuff
yeah I guess I was
I agree with that I was leaning more towards if his
drinking is problematic
which I'm not sure he alluded to
I think he's just feeling guilty
and your drinking is not a problem it just beats you up the next day
like you're very nice to be around
oh thanks yeah you should just
hangovers are a bust
when I'm alone it getsovers are a bust. Yeah.
Well, when I'm alone, it gets weird.
Well, hey, man, dude.
Hey, me and you both, dude.
When you can't put, I always say, you're like a high-performing automobile.
You can't put bad gas in it.
Oh, thanks.
Yeah.
But you know, once in a while, you're at the station, and you're just like, hey.
I know.
Yeah.
If you're that hungover, you just got to reach out to somebody and be like, I need to have...
Come over and watch TV
with me, please.
I don't even know what to do.
Bro, what you do is
you text your boys. We bring over some breakfast burritos
and we kick it, dude.
Exactly.
And we had a meeting the next day.
I could not tell at all
that you were suffering.
Oh, thanks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm just hurting myself, I guess.
Yeah.
You're a high operator.
Sorry, guys.
So is this guy.
No, it happens.
It's the fear cave, dude.
You don't have to apologize.
It's the fear cave, yeah.
That's what hangovers are.
I'm going to get to it in my beef of the week.
Never apologize for your true feelings, dude.
Oh, thanks.
Just like I will never apologize for choosing Unforgiven.
You don't have to apologize, but you just bloatly blew it.
You best clear on all the back.
You guys are supportive bros, and I appreciate that.
You're our fucking dog, dude.
Thank you.
We're all going to do some blow after this pod.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Aaron, you brought some, right?
Yeah.
Yes, Stokers, Chad JT, and anyone else.
Listener from England here.
The pod helps me get through the supermarket night shifts.
Recently, my best mate Dan has found out that his girlfriend
had nearly three years cheated on him with another one of the boys
on one occasion over a year ago.
We've all decided to cut him from the friend group.
However, it seems like Dan is going to forgive
and get back with his GF after a short break
because she has pretty much told him if it wasn't for him, she'd be in a really gnarly
way emotionally or something along those lines.
What advice should I give to my boy to end things with his cheating girlfriend despite
the emotional blackmail as it would clearly be the best thing for him to do?
He's got to cut her loose.
I was going to say originally, I was going to say i like that he's forgiving her it's empowering
it's moving on it sounds like a one-off thing but the fact that she's saying no if you leave me
i might do this or that and it's sort of um gaslighting him uh so he's got to get he's got
to get out of this it's it's emotionally abusive but it's his friend right yeah that's the thing
no no his girlfriend is saying no it's his friend this guy's Yeah, that's the thing. No, no, his girlfriend is saying that. No, it's his friend's girlfriend.
But this guy's being on behalf of his boy who's getting back together with the girl.
It's like he's removed one spot from it.
Oh, yeah.
No, he's got to tell his friend to get out of that relationship.
Yeah.
I just don't know.
But does that like...
How?
Yeah, it doesn't...
You're not going to do that.
No, you tell him.
You go, bro, she's emotionally abusing you.
You can totally say that.
And I've said that to friends.
But I've noticed that most of the time
people have to like run the course that they that they want you're right but like i do feel like
if this dude wants to get back together with her he has something in him that feels like he needs
to fix this or forgive her and it's hard to jar someone out of that way of thinking and if if
you're not that person yeah like i do agree with you i just don't know if it's gonna work yeah it won't work that's all you can do is give him that
notion tell him that because he's already feeling it in that email i i guess i missed one one step
removed but yeah everyone's got to make their own choices man you can just try to set yourself up
with your friend up for the best success yeah maybe it's like uh like i'm only gonna say this once but
this isn't right she's it's emotionally abusive it's not it's not a right way to have a relationship
and i don't think you should get back together with her but i'll support you no matter what you
do but that's just how i feel or something like i don't know yeah i like that no no it's probably
yeah and you want to tell them yeah you want to tell them but those those are i've just got his mind made up it's tough it's really
hard yeah all right you guys ready for the next part chad who's your beef of the week dog my beef
of the week is um sometimes i get into like a media rut like a consumption rut you know it's
like podcasts i don't know what to listen to
music i'm listening to the same shit over and over again tv there's like you were talking about this
you know and sometimes yeah right now it's like when i'm in the car i'm like i'm like kind of like
i don't know what to listen to and it bothers me you know because i like driving i like listening
to shit but now i'm sort of like you know whenever i drive i'm like i'm listening the same deep house track like a hundred times uh i you know listen to rogan you know rogan guests only
like get me like here and there and yeah i'm just sort of i'm in that rut although i did start
listening to smart list with jason bateman well or not and uh sean uh sean hayes thank you and and Sean Hayes. Thank you.
And that's a sick podcast.
But yeah, that always bothers me when I'm like,
it's just when you get into that rut where you're like,
I don't know what to consume entertainment-wise.
I just don't want to drive with my thoughts.
It sounds lame.
It's tough, dude.
Yeah, it's my beef.
Strider, what's your beef of the week do my beer for the
week is with ketchup phone calls nice and maybe it's not part on me it takes two to tango but
it's like dude if you're gonna be on the phone with me for more than 15 minutes what's going on
what's going on i call you with-minute phone calls all the time.
Yeah, but I love my dog.
Oh, thanks, man.
And the thing is, we're already caught up, but we're diving into stuff that we already have awareness of and talking about more in depth.
Right.
But I'm talking about maybe siblings, maybe other people.
Where it's like, dude, hey, so what's going on? Huh? I don it's like dude hey so so what's going on
huh i don't know dude like what the fuck's what's going on like we'll see you when i'm gonna see you
in a little bit and maybe this is me being a curmudgeon and a bit of a bad guy but i'm like
dude i'm not about to do this over the phone i don't want to do this over the phone but i will
say my savior has been the bluetooth in the car if i got a long drive boom boom and here's what i
found out they're doing that to me when i'm not on a long drive and that's where my beef is so if
you're catching up with me on the phone and we're not both on a long drive you're fucking you don't
do it you don't do it if we're both on a long drive if i'm in traffic 45 minutes plus 405 whatever
what's going on what happened what'd you have for lunch i'll talk about it all god damn day
yeah we're getting through this together if i'm at home on the computer or handling my own shit
nah i ain't catching up with you if you if you're in your commute back home from work hey man just
seeing what's going on and used to keep bringing up topics. What the fuck out of here, dude? Altruist, aggressive prosody.
Yeah.
Sometimes I got to go, hey man.
And it's this phrase that I don't like saying.
I got to let you go.
You know what I mean?
Like, hey, got to let you go.
Because it's such like a condescending.
I hate that phrase.
You could soften it to, I got to run.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a better move.
I got to run.
Hey man, I got to run.
But really, I don't.
It's like, no, hey, I got to get back to my fucking life.
No one ever has to run.
Yeah.
I'm going to hop off. Yeah, I'm going to hop off. Do that. Because it's like no hey I gotta get back to my fucking life I'm gonna hop off
yeah I'm gonna hop off
and do that
cause it's like
like I'm done
but it's so tough to do
cause they're like
yeah and then you know
blah blah blah
and my co-worker
said this to me
and I'm like
or you know
sometimes this is
what you can always tell
when someone's
stretching it too far
and I don't like silences
but you'll let the silence
happen after a little lull
you know you're like
oh yeah it was a crazy game
like I don't know if you know Russ Westbrook's fitting in with the Lakers.
And then silence.
And they go, okay, so what else?
And then you're like, no.
Bro, I love that you just said that.
Literally, my dad's phrases will have long silences on the phone like this.
And then my dad will go, so what else?
Literally like that.
It's a very dad move.
So what else?
Yeah.
And it's like something that only a dad gets away with but i'm like and you you feel that accountability to your dad and you got to
search for something i don't know i got this on thursday that might be something of a meeting that
i have and you're like i don't know there's nothing else dude right i just jacked off yeah
sometimes you got him back with literally nothing yeah Yeah. Yeah. So that's it.
Like all beef, part of it's with me, but mainly just only if you're going to do an unload catch up phone call, make sure the other person's on a road trip or something else.
Cristobal.
My beef is with Christmas before Thanksgiving.
Yeah.
Grove's already Christmassy. I don't like it. Strider was upset about this last Thanksgiving. Yeah. Grove's already Christmassy.
I don't like it.
Strider was upset about this last night.
Yeah.
It makes me upset every year.
It never changes.
Just wait.
Just wait a couple weeks.
Thanksgiving's right around the corner.
It's the best.
Let's just focus on that
and then you can put up
all the Christmas decorations you want
nice uh my beef of the week is uh with how hammered i got at this wedding this past weekend
i just uh was on a different level than everybody else i mean traditionally these people party
pretty hard and uh i'm used to raging with them and i i just uh i missed the unspoken memo
and everybody else's energy i got wasted i think you know we were coming off a big long project i
had some steam to burn off i had i was like a you know good citizen throughout i had a lot of ego
a lot of ego cooking up i was coming at people full force i was looking to get intense with
people with the conversation.
And I was just looking for someone to match me.
And I was bulldozing.
And I woke up with just that pain.
That pain.
You just wish you could take that men in black memory thing to everyone you talked to the night before.
And then someone from the wedding
uh woke up around the same time as me and i was outside and they just walked out they looked at
me they went ha i just so bad wanted them to be like hey man you were great last night they just
went ha and they kept walking oh that's horrible i was throwing out a lot of opinions on a lot of
stuff like i was like yeah i think ben shapiro beat that guy's ass in that debate.
I was like, you know, I do think that.
But I was like, I don't need to be saying these things.
And yeah, it was just a lot.
And I didn't even know who noticed or who was paying attention.
But, you know, a couple of people got stuck in my crosshairs and they had to feel it.
I feel bad for that um
but yeah that's so to that kid who was drinking like you know if you stay home
you avoid those things but i'm good for about two or three of those a year
dude there's no worse feeling yeah and i never see him coming if you have to drive home too
yeah it's the worst not drive home drunk you're talking about the next day yeah next day that's sunday especially you know long drive too huh you could i see photos of
myself from it and you can see in my eyes the demon yeah the demon came out yeah and uh yeah
and you know i care what people think about me i want people to think i'm a a sweet considerate
guy so when i act otherwise it's uh
it beats me up a little bit so i'm still in the fear cave i'm still in the shame cave
you know it happens to people but uh yeah i'll uh just try and be better you know i sent a few texts out being like whoa hey hey uh my bad uh i'm sure it's not as bad yeah yeah as as it yeah there wasn't any like there
wasn't anything like it was like little social misdemeanors but it was uh it was uh i think
people could just look at me and see that i was i was on a i was acting like i was on coke basically
but i wasn't i was hammered well that's hard to I was on coke, basically, but I wasn't. I was fucking hammered.
Well, that's hard to do.
So, that's impressive.
That is.
Yeah.
And I don't think people really think about it.
They never think about it as much as you.
Okay, that's good.
Yeah.
I'm sure they've forgotten about it already.
I mean, no one really just sits around
and stews on shit like that.
I certainly don't.
JT pinned the groom oh no no
that's sick though that's sick there was a look in his eyes where i was like this guy wants to
get double-legged yeah and then i took him down and i looked around and everyone was like nah
that wasn't the energy at all you know where you from dude boston to get t-crapped
and then yeah you know and there was there was fun parts too but it was uh
yeah you know after you vomit you should probably stop drinking it's a good good rule of thumb dude
that's a good rule and i was just walking up to him like i threw up i'm going to get another shot
rumpelmint do you want a shot you want a shot huh like you know what bartender let me get eight
shots i'm like walking around just looking for people to you know i'm like basically what i'm Ruppelmint Do you want a shot? You want a shot, huh? You know what, bartender Let me get eight shots
I'm like walking around
Just looking for people to
You know, I'm like
Basically what I'm doing
Is I'm begging
Please
Come to where I'm at
Most weddings
It's fun
Yeah, it's weird
Like you have to get ice
Or something like that
Like you need a
You need like a drink neat
And yeah
And it was
It was a great party otherwise
It was super fun
Everyone there's like awesome
But I was Flew too close to the sun.
You were probably a footnote in most people's weekends.
True.
God willing, God willing.
Yeah.
From your mouth to God's ears.
All right, Chad, who's your babe of the week?
My babe of the week is Salma Hayek.
I've never done, I mean, I have, but I don't know how often I've done
just like a classic babe.
She's just a babe.
I just wanted to give her a shout out.
Salma Hayek, what up?
She's all time.
So far, dude.
Beautiful.
Good actress.
Great actress.
Yeah, great actress, yeah.
Mm-hmm.
But I appreciate you because you were going for just a straight up babe yeah i was like i was
like i was like she's my babe i saw her in like the poster for for eternals i was like
she crushes she is awesome she's the leader oh she is nice fuck strider who's your babe
i'm a baby the week's got me my freaking dank-ass fiance, dude.
Just fucking, dude.
She's been really crushing it, dude.
I mentioned on last pod, she sort of threw me a curveball about like,
dude, let's do our wedding in San Diego and we're going to do Santa Barbara.
But, dude, she's having fire ideas, dude.
Putting together a registry and just really sort of being a general.
So, just got to shout out to that, dude.
That leadership capabilities that she has
and just absolutely having a beast mode in vision.
And dude, you're a cool customer too
because you understand it's like her day
and so you're just trying to facilitate.
Yeah, dude, that's how I view weddings.
I'm like, dude, this is about the bride.
Dude, I want her to have a freaking dank ass time.
I'm a part of it, a key part of it it but i want to just be there and be sick and and honestly the only things that i
have are like i need my fucking bros to do to be there for this and she's been like for sure
so that's all good other thing other than that it's like i don't know dude although she did want
to have some vegan food served and we went and tried the vegan food spot and it was a little heavy so we might veer away from that heavy it's sat heavy i gotta tell you it's sat heavy we went
to this vegan food or like have 100 plant-based menu at the wedding which is also bold i told her
i go look like i don't know about that i'm like i eat steak i look forward to a nice steak at a
wedding like i kind of like that i'd push back on that. I know.
I kind of want to push back.
And so I'm like,
and I did push back.
In fact, she was ready to put down
the down payment on the spot.
And I'm like, hold up.
Let's wait and try the food
because they were getting a new chef.
And they did.
And we tried it and it was pretty dank.
But we both ate it and we're like,
dude, I don't know
if people are going to rage after this.
They're going to want to like sleep.
You might have a gassy wedding party.
100%.
What were the options?
Dude, it's like bar food because it's at a brewery in modern times.
Oh, God.
And so it's like one of them is like a buffalo chicken thing and like a slider.
Buffalo cauliflower?
Yeah, yeah.
Buffalo cauliflower.
Exactly.
It's a classic combo.
And it's dank.
It tastes good.
But you eat it and it's like a lot of breads.
And then it's beer and wine.
And you're like. A lot of people holding in farts. lot of farts a lot of farts dude it's hard to dance
when that's what's going down yeah you can't be farting on the d floor dude that's gonna clear it
out yeah i like catering to the minority too in terms of the dietary uh options because i think
there's something kind of like you know it gives, it gives it an identity to your, to your, your proceedings.
You know what I mean?
But none of us are going to be eating good.
Yeah.
I guess I'll bring a sandwich.
But you know what?
But your lady will be, your lady will be stoked.
Yeah.
We'll all take off and go get some subs.
There's a lot of dank stuff around, but it's like, what do you do at a wedding?
You get people hammered and you feed them and then you dance.
What are you doing?
Chris, who's your baby of the week?
Uh, my baby's got to be my dank ass fiance. Oh, let's go you dance. That's what you're doing. Chris, who's your baby of the week? My baby of the week's
got to be my
dank-ass fiance.
Oh, let's go, dude.
Let's go, dude.
Yeah, we got married
in 12 days.
Yeah.
Hell yeah, dude.
That's sick.
And you dudes
are going to be there.
I'm fucking pumped.
It's going to be the best.
I can't wait to see her
in her dress. It's sitting in the closet down the hall. I haven't looked at it. That's what I'm fucking pumped. It's going to be the best. I can't wait to see her in her dress. It's sitting
in the closet
down the hall. I haven't looked at it. That's what I'm saying.
Okay, good. Dude, my fiance
keeps trying to show me dresses. She's like, hey, how do you think
I look in this? And I go, don't show
me. That's what friends and family are for.
You show it to the ladies
in your life. Bro, exactly.
I'm like, I want to be surprised. My cuteness
meter is about to explode.
I am going to see her before the wedding
because we're going to do pictures, of course.
Because I don't want, when cocktail hour's a long time,
it's because they're doing a fuckload of photos
after the wedding.
We're going to be in and out so that we can get to
Michael Mann precision.
Yeah, exactly.
So I will see her before, but also it's like
an hour before the wedding is different than
I don't want to see it now.
Exactly, bro.
And you're going to get that first, the photographer's going to snipe you, bro.
The first look, you do it.
They cover your eyes and they take photos of it.
It's going to be great.
My baby of the week is from my past, from another wedding where I pitched a better game but uh i uh i was at this
wedding and i ended up uh uh like making out with this gal and we were having a great time and she
had brought a plus one it was this dude you know what i mean and i was like oh you guys to go she's
like no she's my friend and i was like really okay it was you know i kind of couldn't make heads or tails of it um i was staying somewhere else and we were at we were at the
place where she was staying and then um i go back to her room and she's got her friend and her
boyfriend on the other bed and then it's me her and her guy friend in one bed and we're just hanging out and then we we leave for a little bit till i just
make out and then we come back and i i couldn't get back to my place there's no uber so i just
ended up sleeping in bed with her and the guy just five people in this room and me her and this you
know she's in the middle great thankfully and then but then this guy and i really

I could feel in his hug, he's like, bro, I'm just a cool guy.
I hugged him and I was like, you are a cool guy.
He's my baby of the week.
He was a handsome dude.
I don't think he was like, he's just a cool guy.
I want to keep hanging out with him.
It was years ago.

chad who's your legend my legend is my like uh it was gonna be my beef my, like, it was going to be my beef, my, like, party sensitivity.
But I'm trying to look at it as a positive.
Nice.
Because, you know, I appreciate it.
Because, I don't know.
It's part of you.
Yeah.
It's a part of me.
It's who I am.
So that's how I'm looking at it.
I think it's sick.
I would almost label it empathy over sensitivity.
I think it's more rounded than just sensitivity.
Right, yeah.
There's a level of compassion and a level of introspection and a level of dankness.
Oh, I appreciate that.
Thank you.
For sure.
Hell yeah.
We got to go out with these two guys because they're...
They must have just hit it too hard.
You guys are both coming off the same thing.
You guys are both down in the dumps.
So we should go out like soonish to try and get over...
Knocked out.
No, you're a nice guy, dude.
You're not doing too hard on yourself.
Yeah, and he was evil.
He was pulling people's chairs out for pregnant women.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You tabletop somebody, dude.
A little kid, dude.
Yeah, he kept pantsing
the father if you guys would have been there i did think about that i was like dude if i had
more bros here yeah they would have someone would have grabbed me and just like hey buddy

head coach of the steelers is he still the dude to ever win a Super Bowl as a head coach?
Yeah, probably.
Yeah, McVay lost.
Yeah.
Total legend.
I love the guy.
Years ago, earlier in his career, saw him go for it on fourth and goal.
Didn't get it.
He cut over to him and he's going, it's all right.
It's okay.
We're good.
We're good.
We won that game.
He's pretty unflappable.
Yeah.
And he's just a cool dude.
That's awesome. He is the man dude that's it coat steelers coaches possibly the best cutaways to their reactions like bill cower and tomlin are basically the only steel steelers coaches
i've ever watched very great very different but very great they're straight out of central casting
for a coach yes look at the part yes and. And that's a huge part of it.
My legend of the week is Martha, who worked on our project together.
Sorry we always have to be vague, guys.
I know it's annoying as shit, but in time we'll be able to say everything.
It's really not our call.
And then she was just amazing.
She was a script supervisor, which means she had to keep track
to make sure everything fit together,
which is on the way we do things is a really tough gig and she just always had great suggestions
was always on top of it was always supportive but could like put you in the right direction
when you were off target and uh and uh yeah it was just a really tough job and she was just
awesome the whole way through super fun to hang with yeah she's just the best a sweetheart and
so cool yeah just always a good
hang and yeah very positive and fun the best good vibes always yeah and i'm gonna miss the whole
crew every i'm gonna keep naming people as the episodes go on but they're best yeah i'm starting
with martha she was awesome uh you know legend chad what's your quote of the week uh mine comes
from fabio oh hell yeah because i shaved the top of my dome i decided you know pay homage
to someone else who you know who sort of identifies with their hair um lamborghini outperforms ferrari
every time whoa there's another fabio quote that i was tempted to do but as little too as
kim kard Kim Kardashian is trash.
Amazing, dude.
These Fabio quotes, those are the two.
Amazing.
Stratter, what's your quote of the week?
My quote of the week is from a movie that I wished would have been on my list, but Chris
wisely took it, and it is, the frost. Sometimes it makes the blade stick.
Oh, yeah.
Nice.
So fucking good.
Oh, yeah.
Chris?
Talent is like a marksman who hits a target which others cannot reach.
Genius is like the marksman who hits a target which others cannot even see.
That's philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer.
Oh, he's a beast, man.
Yeah.
My quote of the week is, my brother taught me this before we started the pod.
He had a Latin teacher in high school who told him that carpe diem,
because my brother was talking about how in translation,
like a lot of things don't get translated accurately.
So everyone says carpe diem means seize the day.
But your teacher told you it actually means harvest the day is a more accurate definition. And I think harvesting the
day has a lot more to it than seize the day. Seize the day is just all action. Just grab it,
go out there, get it. Harvest the day is like put some thought into it. Really think about what
you're doing. Really milk this for all that it has for your nourishment and for your sustenance.
And I think that's kind of cooler. So I'm going to harvest the day i love that dude that's great and thanks for that that nugget it's
all you baby it's fucking rad nice mr gerlach thanks dog chad what's your uh phrase we're
getting after it this is for the trees nice sick that's what you said before you
Nice. Sick.

For the trees.
Strider? Strengthen honor.
Nice.
To stay awake all night
adds a day to your life.

Stabbing your teammate in the neck scissors. It's not one of them
