We're here with the the love Lothario, Strider Wilson. What up, baby? just munching the mike's box and then we are here with the uh did i do emperor of everything last time yeah dude should i do the uh the the czar of silliness, Chris Potter.
Starting point is 00:02:06 Yeah, there we go. And we got Aaron as our judge, as always. And dude, how are your cream levels? You've been no fapping, right? Yeah, I'm just waiting. Hell yeah. Oh, is this for November? He meant for the draft, I think.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Yeah, I told him to get his levels up so he could effectively cream during the draft. Okay, good call. Why, are you not masturbating? No, no, I didn't know if that was a thing. Because I know there's like no shave November, October, and then it was no nut November. Have you guys ever done that? No.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Actually, you know, I have, but not for the month. I've done month, no nut. I went six months one time without jerking it yeah six months wow how'd you feel so unhappy do you watch porn would you like edge no i edged like two or three times but not to porn wow i feel like anytime i've gone over a week, I almost immediately start having nocturnal emissions. Wow.
Starting point is 00:03:10 You had one on an airplane one time. Yeah. That wasn't. That's wild. Yeah, I didn't. I wasn't. That was very startling to realize that. But I dropped a really, really fat load in my dream and then i
Starting point is 00:03:29 woke up and i was like oh my god hilarious oh my god well that's a perfect segue guys we're drafting war movies yeah so this is gonna be huge we have some parameters we don't think gladiator is a war movie, even though it has a war scene at the top. We think it's more of like a blood sport kind of mano a mano combat movie. And then we are including fictional wars. Like Starship Troopers, for example. For example.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Great movie. Probably might get drafted. And then other than that, it's free reign everything's on the table there could be some bends let's get hectic all right odds are evens one two three shoot oh it's high that's never happened one two three shoot oh fuck four pick for jam my boner into the wall that could be a good spot that could be sick ow
Starting point is 00:04:29 one two three shoot oh dude I know I'm getting the dude you always get it dude I know I'm getting it alright rock paper scissors shoot rock paper scissors shoot
Starting point is 00:04:40 dude he gets first always dude oh dude JT number one pick don't fuck up this first pick dude this is top war movie of all time. Don't fuck it up, bro.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Dude, that's true, dude. A lot of pressure, dude. Chad, you did just make me nervous as fuck, dude. I was very chill, and then when you were talking like that, I felt my heartbeat raise. Dude, just realize when you do this pick, there's a lot of other picks on the board.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Well, don't worry. I'm not going to fuck it up. Number one out of the gate, Tigerland. No, I'm kidding. Oh. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Joke, joke, joke, joke, joke, joke. Great movie, though.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Great movie. It's a good one. I didn't want to mention it, but it's not canon. All right. With the number one pick, I am going straight down the middle. I think this movie has the best war scenes of any movie in history. I think it takes place in maybe the most narratively rich war of all time and the one that I think it takes place in maybe the most narratively rich war of all time. And the one that I think most of us consider to be the most important and
Starting point is 00:05:29 seismic. And it has a great director at the helm and a lot of straight ahead movie stars in front of the camera. I am going with saving private. Damn it. Dude. Good pick, bro.
Starting point is 00:05:42 I mean, come on, dude. I think that was everyone's number one. Yeah. The first couple scenes when they take Normandy, and me and my girlfriend were talking about this. Dude, there's a moment when you see the guy carrying his own arm.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Yeah. Yeah. The creativity. They asked him and the writer, they're like, was that based off real like uh first person accounts and they go nah but it could have been like it's just it's just pure creative license but it really just adds to it you get the flamethrower scene where they torch the place and you know it's a travel movie like they you go through different vignettes everyone in the squad is awesome
Starting point is 00:06:20 barry pepper as the religious sniper eddie burns as the handsome, cool New Yorker. Tom Sizemore as the psychopath wild man. You need one in every squad. And then he got the ultimate pussy in movie history, Corporal Dunham. Up him, sorry. One time we did a senior prank. I wasn't even, I'm such a loser. I had already been kicked out of this high school for two years, but I wanted to help the guys with the senior prank. And we went to the school to like dig a hole that had our graduating year in it. I remember half the guys got scared
Starting point is 00:06:52 and Strider started calling the most scared guy up on. It became like a go-to when someone, you know, didn't have gonads in a crucial situation. And then he got Matt Damon at the end. And it's got's it's it's got huge scale you feel like you're really seeing the war but then it's still intensely intimate and it has that kind of spielberg uh morality in it where it's very straightforward and it's just about being a good guy as two on the nose where the one guy's like was i a good man to his wife
Starting point is 00:07:22 oh yeah someone made a good point point. I always do this, but I'll talk down to my own pick. Matt Damon shouldn't have been the narrator of that movie. Because he gives it away. And because he wasn't there for all of it. Yeah, exactly. Makes no sense. So it should have been Eddie Burns' character at the end
Starting point is 00:07:36 talking to the tombstone. But that being said, I think it's the best war movie of all time. And yeah, I love it. It's so badass. I mean, it's a great pick. The action sequence. Dude, it's just... I watch it once the best war movie of all time. And yeah, I love it. It's so badass. I mean, it's a great pick, dude. The action sequence, dude, it's just, I watch it once a year, dude.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Yeah, I mean, that first scene, you can't beat it. The first scene alone is unreal. And what about the guy holding his guts? Dude. Oh, yeah. Mommy! Mama! Dude.
Starting point is 00:08:01 So nice. So many good actors. It's so good. Dude, the sound mixing, dude. Like, all of it's so good. Oh sound mixing dude like all of it's so oh yeah yeah the bullets fly yeah the one fight where their guns jam he just takes his helmet off and just whips it out yeah yeah and then just and then he ends up shooting the guy but the guy shoots him and you see everybody's like and he literally just goes ah damn it and he's like seems like he got like pricked by something but he said he's just he seems more frustrating even though he ends up kicking the bucket tom hanks just the epitome of decency
Starting point is 00:08:30 it's a school teacher in it yeah and that's like the whole thing everybody has bets on what he did before the war his hand always shakes so it's like he's not but he's so competent at every turn he's always very decisive he does he does make mistakes um which is a really good part of the movie but like then when they drop that where he's like i'm a school teacher like that's and you're like wow this is just he's just it's just like tom hanks like you're playing an ordinary guy thrust into an extraordinary situation which is like the most classic tom hanks like kind of role and he just crushes it and he's not like he's you would think of like Sly Stallone or like Mel Gibson in a war movie but then you know having Tom Hanks as a kind of
Starting point is 00:09:13 hero it makes it more of an everyman thing yeah which that war you know there's a lot of normal dudes who went over there and did the deed exactly the cameos in it paul giamatti ted dance and obviously matt damon vin diesel diesel gets iced pretty early spoiler but it's there's rumors that vin diesel was giving spielberg directing advice in between takes that's amazing dude for uh first movie where i saw the sniper get the other sniper with a bullet through the scope oh that's huge which like now you see it like uh i feel like dude how much do you have every four years i was gonna if i could only take one guy from the movie and i had a real army unit that i had to take into into battle i would take barry pepper from that squad bro so he was ice cold he's also a lefty but all the guns are for righties so
Starting point is 00:10:01 he has to go over to do the, and he's so efficient at it. And I was just like, I just thought that was such a, it's like Jimi Hendrix was playing backwards on the guitar. Yeah. He's an artist up there, dude. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:14 They say like naming it Jackson. Yeah. I think it is Jackson. He goes, this is how you gloat. Listen, this is how you gloat. And then he's like,
Starting point is 00:10:21 continue Jackson. You put me anywhere at two and in between 500 yards or made off paper your pat your bag boys we're going home like dude that's a fucking great you're just so on board dude all right who's up to chris barr baby uh i'm going braveheart no guns though it's still cool no guns the thing is i feel like there's more guns available war movies later right that i wanted a straight straight sword and sandal and like this one it's got i mean the action's awesome you also have decapitations you know no one better at that than mel gibson yeah no one i threw on one of his movies that i hadn't seen for this draft it just starts off with guys on fire oh you hadn't seen what hacks that we are so oh yeah oh yeah the opening scene is just
Starting point is 00:11:19 panning across the battlefield and it's kind of like there is like a mama guy with his guts i just go and i remember the movie song like oh man mel mel so like he just he's the best he's the best i think maybe action he's up there is one of the greatest like epic directors of all time yeah because it's in like like i said there's a there's there's a ton of humor in the movie it's very sad you have you have like kind of two romances because it's definitely an epic it's like a very very long movie but it kicks ass yeah um where his wife something bad happens that's what spurns him on his mission to fight the english um english english and then any and it has one of the most famous i'm william wallace yeah it has one of the most famous speeches like pre-battle
Starting point is 00:12:05 speeches in any movie run and you may live for a while but lying in your beds many years from now what would you give for one chance just one chance you know what it is it's so romantic it's a very romantic movie like you feel bigger afterwards you want to be a better person after you watch it the bad guy long shanks they kill his lady he destroys a whole country it's yeah uh long shanks is like such a bad dude you know yeah like when he orders them to shoot at his own man like but sir our men like it's like have the archers fire and then he's like we'll hit our own man he's like yeah but we'll hit theirs too every time there's like an evil higher up who sacrifices his own men yeah it's the best way to reflect like the evils of war when it's their own side
Starting point is 00:12:50 being shitty to him um and yeah so that's my pick it's so good and it has one of those scenes like the ultimate scene of like you know like not a like a funny like humor scene but like a war movie humor scene where they're like doing the spears and stuff and he's like some men are longer than others and they're all like and then you're like so intense you're like you in the theater you laugh you're like yes yes yes like you're just so in the movie you're like good laugh if you had to take one guy from that to be in your unit who would it be it's got to be william wall it's got to be one of the most bad guys and his sword is huge and when he goes off on the nobleman and he swings that ball through the dudes oh yeah the mace or whatever it's just straight ball and chain like it doesn't even have a
Starting point is 00:13:35 so also brian cox in that he's a fire first i'll teach you how to use this or sorry oh he has the uncle then i'll teach you how to use this so points at his brain and then his arm maybe the best accent of any movie of all time bro so sick like you're talking like that for a couple days afterwards they also stay with like historical accuracy like they probably wouldn't have had that blue paint like that was like celtic trad from before but they're like maybe they would have for homage but it wasn't like i'm not watching braveheart for dude it's yeah it's yeah it's got a different kind of truth to it right it's also like william wallace uh had sex with the queen like the future queen and impregnated her so like i don't know if that happened i doubt it but it was pretty good being attracted to him he is like david foster wallace said the reason he
Starting point is 00:14:21 didn't like he loved braveheart but the hard part for him was that he couldn't relate to William Wallace because William Wallace was so perfect in that movie. He's basically Jesus. Like he has no- Oh, he has no flaws. He has no flaws. Yeah. That's why Robert the Bruce
Starting point is 00:14:32 is kind of the guy you relate to. Robert the Bruce is actually Braveheart. That's who they call Braveheart. It's not William Wallace's character. Well, there's another movie if you want to make up for that with your pick. Here we go, baby. I won't be taking that, but-
Starting point is 00:14:43 I mean, bro, there's a lot of fucking fire ass movies on the board don't fuck it up with some jane the virgin pick later dude dude don't yeah chris don't fuck this up dude uh you're off to a good ass start hey thanks guys you're gonna pick like the ghostbusters female reboot sergeant bilko dude it's really charming dude fuck man you guys took my those are my one and two i mean your guys list is so fire right and female reboot. Sergeant Bilko. Dude, it's really charming. Dude, fuck, man. You guys took my, those are my one and two.
Starting point is 00:15:08 I mean, your guys' list is so fire right now. There's one that I want to snipe on the turnaround. He's going to blow it already. No, no. Baby, baby, baby. Dude, if I blow it, this is my list.
Starting point is 00:15:17 The stakes are high. This is my category. Yeah, you're the war guy, dude. This is my category, dude. I'm probably probably gonna go with oh man do it it's hard i really need one to come back i have a very specific plan in mind so don't fuck me i know what you want here i think i don't think you do i might surprise you motherfuckers right now oh yeah i might surprise you guys what
Starting point is 00:15:45 is it though yeah you're gonna take it a while he's getting really excited all right i'm gonna go with just some fire ass movie it's a war that usually i would go world war ii but i'm not gonna go world war ii right now but this is an epic ass movie truly a gnarly quest it's an adaptation which is gnarly apocalypse now damn it great pick great pick so it's a fire ass movie dude i mean is it i rewatch it it's a psycho movie but dude some of the best performances ever and like the tale it tells of battle like the it's a different angle it's a take on war that's pretty insane that you don't get from other movies of like just this insane commander in the heart of darkness.
Starting point is 00:16:27 And he becomes like this fucking rebel leader. And this guy goes to the journey is insane. It's much more philosophical than we went with straight ahead movies for the first two that are just like badasses in war. Like that one is like, you know, heart of darkness. It's yes. This is about how people get corrupted. And then I realized it's the inmates who are on the asylum.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Exactly. It's so good. You have... Yeah, and all the characters are psycho on different levels. Dude, Robert Duvall's character is insane. He's amazing. The famous scene of the flights of the Valkyries
Starting point is 00:16:57 with the helicopters. And then, yeah, dude, just some of the most insane lines in the world. Marlon Brando. Yeah, some of the most famous characters from war movies, for sure. Kilgore? That's Robert Duvall. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:12 And I think it's probably the most infamous war movie just because of the whole process of making it. How long did it take to make? Years, I think. And he was over there just being wild as shit. People were getting sick. He just kept sinking more money into it. You're right you're right though too because you hear about that movie a lot when you're a kid growing up before you see it like yeah there's a movie that parents talked about a lot
Starting point is 00:17:33 the quotes dude yeah that's too went to my buddy cameron's house and his dad got like i slept over and he waked up in the morning he goes smelling napalm in the morning exactly victory yeah camera with the long fingers exactly bro spider hands he said he good god but he said he was at monarch beach and he fell down on a wave like he got tumbled yes and then he said he he coughed out his lung he like made that up he expected us to believe his id i freaking got tombstone on a rock bodyboarding and my lung came out and the lifeguard saw it but it was fine he put it back in and we're like we're like dude we're not fucking idiots like you're 20 yeah exactly it's a visual fit for some of the movies we're talking about very true but i mean look it's a gnarly movie uh you gotta respect it just for the uh
Starting point is 00:18:23 you gotta respect it just for the you know just the scale of it and so many good scenes so fucking insane just truly insanity just shows you the insanity of war and yeah Aaron you nailed it the inmates running the asylum it's a great pick no misses yet guys
Starting point is 00:18:39 no misses yet Chad you're up with two oh I have two you got two brother oh okay I got two I have to you got to brother okay I got to okay okay okay I'm not up for a while shit I mean you guys took my three just got a bone I'm just bone-dry there's no cream over here there's cream baby you got okay there's a lot of cream yeah I, I'm just kidding. My favorite movie is still out there. Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Oh, man. Aaron just dropped a bomb. Aaron's been going no nut. Aaron's been going no nut, dude. Okay. He's wearing khaki shorts, so we're going to see it. I'm going to go... First one...
Starting point is 00:19:22 Let's go Last of the Mohicans. Nice. Great pick, dude. I it i love it love it daniel day one of my favorite quotes that's gonna be my quote of the week but i'm just gonna drop it now stay alive i will find you bro you know he's just uh the ultimate hero i love it dude and that's the first time he's felt that like that guy's been out on his own, Sigma male, just living by his own code, not worried about anyone else. Then he meets this woman and he's like, no, this is my job now.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Yeah, and such an interesting character, interesting story. It's like a perspective of the, what is it? French and Indian. French Indian war that, yeah, you don't see a lot of movies from that time period. And the character himself is just fascinating
Starting point is 00:20:06 so and it's a roller coaster ride it's non-stop movement it's just like you get on the track and boom and the bad guy wes studi yeah uh mogway magua mogwa his fire has been burned from the white man's liquor monroe yeah he's just a true badass too just running through oh yeah like the score at the end there's like no dialogue yeah oh the promenade yeah that song yeah it's so good put that to a highlight tape of someone making plays every wrestling high school video should be to that fucking yeah you find yourself in like a wooded area dude you just you like crouch down like him and start running dude it's so true with the rifles and picking them up. Dude, when he's running, just grabbing rifles, yeah. Oh my God, it's so cool.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Because he picks up somebody's rifle after he kills somebody, shoots two dudes, and then you see him as he's sprinting by, drops one rifle and then picks up another one. So gnarly. Right before the final fight. And you know Day-Lewis put in the training for that. He rehearsed that for me. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:03 He was making his own bullets and just drilling targets. They said he tried to help build one of the houses and all the carpenters were like, he's fucking it up. For real? Dude, that's amazing, bro. They're like, he's setting us back like a week. He's over there with a hammer and a nail.
Starting point is 00:21:18 It's his process. It's his process. They're like, dude, your dad's a poet. Relax. You know what else I like about the you would expect uh hawkeye to get the kill at the end on magua yeah but they give it to they give it to the patriarch i thought that was always really cool i agree that was a nice move and he has a nice spin move and fun yeah exactly yeah he does the he does the roll and then swings back and just
Starting point is 00:21:41 you see jack's up his elbow those guys guys are badass. Those guys are the actual Mohicans, right? They're the real deal. Yeah, because he's adopted. Yes. Long Rifle. What are they called? Yeah, Long Rifle, Hawkeye, all the same. Legit names.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Yeah, exactly. So sick. When you're that badass, you get multiple nicknames. That might be the sickest movie ever. It's awesome. Bro, that's a great pick, dude. Okay, I'm going to go with my second one. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:22:04 I'm going to go with my second one. I think one of the most important movies of our time whoa here we go um schindler's list okay kind of a whack war movie though yeah here's the thing dude here's the thing dude here's the thing bro you don't think it's a war movie i don't know if it counts look it's a phenomenal movie but you don't get that it's more about it's also just fun to talk trash about but here's the thing bro bro it's a fucking fantastic movie and an important beautiful film beautiful film best villain ever oh the villain it's so weird because like concentration camp i'm like not a war movie but a pow but if it was like right prisoners of war like like soldiers in a camp i'd be like that's okay
Starting point is 00:22:46 but then it's just like not quite there for me so yeah you fucked up good movie though amazing ray franz performance i'll probably have to cut all this because they're gonna be like why those three guys pick on the other guy for picking shit yeah i mean we're in especially it's a great movie especially post kanye i mean that's why this is a crucial pick you can't talk shit on this one it's a great movie yeah you guys yeah do you want to redo your fantastic you're appealing to people's hearts but what about their biceps exactly and dude here's the thing dude unforgiven's a sick movie bro it's a fucking sick movie dude but i just don't know dude and look I'm the bender dude I want to try to bend this for you so bad but it's but no but let's talk about why you love it dude
Starting point is 00:23:30 why do you know I mean it's so good I mean I want to go these other badass whatever the fuck moving forward yeah i mean with pearl harbor still on the board i think you didn't go pearl harbor dude oh dude our boy bay all right bro here we fucking go dude don't i'm not gonna fuck this up no no i know what you want and you're gonna get it and it's a good list no no no don't do that but i'll. I know what you want, and you're going to get it, and it's a good list. No, no, no. Don't do that. But I'll tell you what I'm going to go with.
Starting point is 00:24:07 You're not going to get it. And I might even be able to get this. No. You son of a bitch. I'm going to go with Glory. No! No! Damn it.
Starting point is 00:24:15 That's what I'm going to get. No! Oh, I thought you were going to go with something else. That's what I wanted. That's what I wanted. That's what he wanted. Come on, man. God damn it.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Come on. Give him hell, 54. Didn't make Aaron cream, though, but made me cream. I think your list is unstoppable. Fuck. Give him hell, 54. Braveheart to Glory on the way back was the whole plan. Oh, I think you wanted something different.
Starting point is 00:24:34 No. Okay, okay, cool. I'm in total disarray now. I'll tell you right now. Man, my list is fucked. No, you just got to stick with your theme. Keep doing pacifist movies during a war movie draft. Dude, that's actually kind of cool. Do it. There's other ones. Yeah, there's integrity to that. That's my theme. Now you just got to stick with your you don't keep doing pacifist movies during a war movie I
Starting point is 00:24:51 Mean this there's not really I mean there are some good Civil War movies, but this is like, okay There's no one's gonna pick Gettysburg. It's boring ass movie. No one's picking get This is the Civil War movie, dude. It's the performances are amazing denzel washington dude his tears i mean dude like and just what it's all about it encompasses the civil war dude it's just fucking and the battle sequences are truly fucking unbelievable dude that on the carolina coast when they're charging up there and they know they're marching to their death it's unreal matthew Broderick seems cool, even though he's, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:27 he's the one who got the movie made. Well, that's the thing. It's almost good because it's a movie about black dudes and about their courage, but they had to get it made with a white dude at the lead. And I like Broderick and like Ferris Bueller,
Starting point is 00:25:37 but he can't keep up like with the heft of Morgan Freeman or Denzel. But the movie I think is almost better for that because it tees them up. Like you don't you never think about broderick when you think about that movie you think about denzel and and freeman and isaiah washington and those guys and andre brauer andre brown i'm so sorry but those guys are just so incredible in it did the one tier the single tier it's some of the best
Starting point is 00:25:59 acting it's amazing yeah and they also get fire monologues to a lot of the dudes yeah like denzel kind of gets a stilted one but that's because that's his character morgan freeman gets like the more eloquent one the more intense one but there's so many good like rah-rah moments in it even though it's all tinged with like these people are dealing with so much racism where even on their own side the people don't respect them, don't care about them. And they just want to show that they're, they just want to carry the load.
Starting point is 00:26:32 They want to contribute and just want to be given the chance. And it has all those rah-rah moments, but you expect it to end in a rah-rah way with these guys. But they literally just to have people think of them as full and whole and as like worthy they turn themselves into like cannon fodder and just like kill themselves the last shot of the movie they literally are and it's so like it's so brave on their side but the whole thing is just tragic where you're like this is the most fuck thing i've ever seen but it and that's what makes it sit with you is that it's so fucked yeah it's really yeah it's with you is that it's so yeah it's really yeah

Unless you're Strider and you have the the gravitas to handle that gravitas i hope i get like my one later we'll get to that but like right now i'm just gonna lock it up with another one where it's like decapitations huge moments yeah heath

Yeah. Oh, dude. I'm so like
Starting point is 00:30:09 Mel Gibson, I'm an American. I like seeing shit like that, you know, yes Who the hell is that? It's your ghost sir. Dude, so good, bro And then Heath Ledger crushes it. Oh, yeah, he does. It's a fucking, yeah. Cute love scene with the T. For some reason, I totally forgot about that movie. It's one of my favorites.
Starting point is 00:30:35 I watched that one multiple times. That and Saving Private Ryan, multiple watches. Bro, with the tomahawk throw. Yeah, the tomahawk throws. That movie, dude, every Fourth of July, you should be watching that movie. Yeah, I do. Right now, my list is there's a very clear
Starting point is 00:30:47 these are the good guys and these are the bad guys where it's like they're very simple and a lot of rah rah stuff which is actually I mean big yeah that's fucking rad I'll get some more
Starting point is 00:31:02 you know morally ambiguous ones later, maybe, I guess. All right, with my number two pick, I'm going War Horse, JK. Aw, dude. JK doing that. Those are your picks, bro. No, no, no. Don't make me live with War Horse.
Starting point is 00:31:19 What if the main character of a movie was a horse? It's like, I don't know, man. It feels a little tough. That was so obviously a joke. We will not will not count it definitely was not your pick but he's right i gotta stop doing it tom hilton's eyes in that movie dude it's tough man you know i think now you think you dude is i think fuck man i might no i can't do that
Starting point is 00:31:56 no i almost picked a movie i haven't seen all the way through hey you could do it just to get the dub just to fortify my list hey you can use what's up whoa watch me cream in your face chad doesn't finish these movies because you gotta go surf dude yeah i got stuff to do finish this later dude i'm busy at work baby you already know all this shit fuck man that's a good one. I know. Yeah, I might. Oh. Fuck, guys.
Starting point is 00:32:32 I'm so sorry. This is really tough. I have two picks, too. If only the postman could count. It's a good movie. It's a good-ass fucking movie. All right. I'm going to go with.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Yeah, you know what? I'm going to pick one I haven't seen. Oh, it's. Thin Red Line. Dude, let's go one i haven't seen oh it's thin red line dude let's go it's really good no not all the way through i don't know about this one making me cream though dude i might have to talk smack on it go talk smack because i haven't seen it so you i mean it's terrence malick so it's like let's have this super interesting battle going on over here then fucking cut over to like a drop of water falling off of a leaf that's the thing it's like metaphor did that's it's my favorite terence malick movie because it's like at least there's a story it's like they're trying to take the island you know what i mean and they're entrenched so it's like i felt like it was the best vehicle for like his deep philosophical musings
Starting point is 00:33:20 because then it's broken up instead of with more deep philosophical musings it's broken up with like we got to take that hill and like people get shot and like somebody clears a room by throwing a grenade into it and then you literally see a fireball come out it's great scene with cusack woody harrelson has a great part in that dude where he freaking uh i know spoilery yeah he guys are charging and he goes to pull a grenade and he actually pulls the pin so then he just throws his ass into a bank and just gets blown up so and then it's just like making being like i'm an idiot and then like no and then jim caviezel who like is just like calms him down it's like no he saved all of us by throwing yourself into that
Starting point is 00:34:02 it's okay and then he just fucking dies like it's crazy and it's a good movie i i i watched it hungover and i was no i don't know i always do that i watch all quiet on the western front hungover bro the new one yeah that could be on the list oh my bad bro i liked it i don't think it's gonna make the when there's so many when there's so many that are like have been famous for like decades it's going to make the list. When there's so many that have been famous for decades, it's hard to pick one that came out a week ago. There's an older one. True, there is an older one. But that one's not good.
Starting point is 00:34:33 I mean, it's fine. This new one is good, though. It's really good. It's really well done. Yeah. All right. For my next pick, thank you guys for amplifying on the film that I hadn't seen. It's an amazing news.
Starting point is 00:34:43 It's also great Sean Penn, Jim Cummings. I mean, the cast is insane. I'm going to watch it tonight. I tried to watch it this weekend, but I didn't have three spare hours. Nick Nolte is the commander who walks up and he's like, everybody's standing around. He looks at a guy shirtless.
Starting point is 00:34:58 He goes, put your blouse back on. Yeah, dude. His performance is good. All right, for my next pick, I'm going with a modern war movie. So've got uh i know it you do zero dark thirty well really yeah zero dark thirty i did i was wondering if this one was war on terror yeah it's a really good one i thought about uh i don't think it's like a a populist pick but like uh populist pick but i love it i think it it captures that period of time,
Starting point is 00:35:27 I think, better than any of the films that are about that. And then I think it doesn't skirt over like the questionable ethics that were used to get the mission accomplished in killing Osama bin Laden. And what I do like about it too is that it's a lady in the lead, and it's basically like, this is what feminism looks like in war. It's like, she's just as gutsy doing unethical things to get information out of terrorists.
Starting point is 00:35:53 And it's this very like, it's like this empowering thing, but it's also like empowering for what? Like, this is actually maybe not the way we should be doing things. But at the same time, you want us to kill Usama bin Laden. We were like, we got to get his ass. So whatever it takes. It really puts you into that headspace. And yeah, I love the realism of it. They don't seem like they're jacking up the action too much.
Starting point is 00:36:18 It feels pretty close to how it would feel. And yeah, it's just the detail in it, the writing. And then it's got a cast that's like 50 deep. It's so good. You know, you got like Edgar Tinn in like a small part. You got Mark Strong, a small part. Jason Clarke. Just a bunch of killers.
Starting point is 00:36:36 So I'm going with Zero Dark Thirty. I mean, that last scene is incredible. When they go in the house. The seals? Oh my God. It is awesome. That last scene with the fucking quiet helicopters. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:45 And that was kind of, was that really kind of the first movie that sort of outshowed the Navy SEALs, sort of like that SEAL Team 6 kind of style? I mean, I know there's like Tears of the Sun or whatever, but like where they're like night vision and like the accuracy of how they execute a mission and stuff. It definitely was like these guys are legit yeah there's been other movies where they're like this is an elite squadron sentence but i don't think any of them felt as real as that one it seems like it's like the less corny version yeah kind of it was like at the start of like ushering in that where it's like
Starting point is 00:37:18 no it's going to be like it's going to feel more uh technically accurate yeah it seemed like it birthed to like gave birth to a lot of new movies sort of about seals and stuff like oh yeah you know it was sort of like the first of those movies where people like all these guys are bad ass and it's I mean part of its part of its the movie and part of this because seal team six became so famous when they killed Osama bin Laden we just like a thing that happened and I mean how many of those guys have like published books now they got the one guy who's always talking about it on podcast right the
Starting point is 00:37:49 guy with the he's kind of like red-haired dude I'm sure there's like a couple guys who like have manuscripts but they never got published and yeah that's like one of like three guys that didn't get a book deal all right it's pretty clear that pick landed like a thud um no i love them i think aaron's great aaron it's the only movie i've ever seen alone in the theater really hey i thought it should have won best picture same i really enjoyed it didn't she win the oscar i don't think so but she's nominated though justin's she's good she's so good yeah chris you're back up uh i'm gonna go with uh it's tough man it is really there's some huge war movies still on i mean the thing with war movies too it's like a lot of the best movies ever in this it's almost like there's too many picks one yeah and i didn't want to have too many like i didn't want to have too heavy of the list
Starting point is 00:38:42 like all the best war movies are like yes yeah, it's the heaviest subject matter. Yeah. Stakes are through the roof. But because I kind of got some popcorn ones, I'm going to go, I'm going to go with the wind that shakes the barley. Fuck. That's a good pick.
Starting point is 00:38:54 I mean, for the three people who have seen it. Yeah, exactly. Well, that's why I was like a movie. It's a Ken Loach movie. So it's like,
Starting point is 00:39:00 um, yeah. IRA. It's, uh, that's such a good movie. It's like two, two brothers who are fighting for... They're Irish.
Starting point is 00:39:10 They're fighting for independence from the English. And then when they make a treaty with the English, and this really happened, a lot of people splintered because some people were like, all right, we need to go along with this. And then other people who would turn into the IRAa were like no this was like capitulating to the worst thing we finally have we finally had leverage and then we squandered it all so they
Starting point is 00:39:32 become gorillas and at the heart of the movie are two brothers who start out fighting together and then end up on separate sides and it ends in tragedy and it's beautiful it's so sad there's a lot of great speeches where you just see people debating the merits of what they should be doing and then you also see countrymen fighting each other and deciding that like they're like no because you went along with this you're now as worse as the enemy and just seeing how it rips communities apart and it's a very that's what i was saying i wanted like some more morally ambiguous where it's like like look at what war does and how it can just ruin lives and it's it's something that's still it's still poignant today because these are still a lot of the same things
Starting point is 00:40:15 still people argue it's the best movie i've ever seen on what it looks like after rebellion and then you get into governance and and then the way they like you said the speeches like when you hear people tossing out their ideologies you're like oh this is what it must have sounded like because some people are like more capitalists other people more communist some people are more like we got to be totally sovereign other people are like we got to be integrated with other countries and you're like yeah these are the problems that come up when uh after the fighting and yeah uh as chichi said if you're one of the three who's seen the movie, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:40:48 If you haven't seen it, it's really good. Cillian Murphy is the lead. That was a Jane the Virgin pick, but at a much higher level. But you haven't seen enough of Jane the Virgin. You've finished the one with Jason Reilly. I watched 10 minutes, and I was like the same in the top four shows of all time. Yeah, all time.
Starting point is 00:40:59 I mean, I don't know about that, dude. You know what I forgot, though? You fell in love while watching that show. Yeah. We take our experiences into the art, and that's a beautiful thing. Yeah, and maybe that's like 10%. Powerful 10%. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:18 Out of 10%, dude. Yeah, it's a great movie. That's a movie that you think is a book. You know what I mean? You're like, this is a fucking legit like it's higher art you feel like yeah you feel smarter afterwards big time the wind that shakes the barley not the best i like the title but i think i like that i think it definitely i like it a lot i think it definitely contributes to nobody seeing it for sure it sounds like you and a couple grandpa saw that all right baby with my pick i'm going black hawk down nice there we go it's a fire ass movie and the premise is very simple
Starting point is 00:41:55 we don't leave a man behind that's what you gotta see you know you gotta have that in a war movie i went and saw that movie with this semi-uncle that I used to have who was a Marine. Semi-uncle? He was like a family friend, but kind of like an uncle. Yeah, no. Well, you know. He came out and he asked me
Starting point is 00:42:17 and my buddy that we saw it with. We were like in 8th grade. He's like, do you know what that movie was about? We were both like, uh, like killing. He's like, you don't leave a man behind. And everybody was like, whoa. And dude that movie was about? We were both like, oh, like killing. He's like, you don't leave a man behind. And I remember being like, whoa. And dude, it's so badass. Great cast. Irene is a go.
Starting point is 00:42:31 Irene is, dude, the fucking helicopters and shit. Fucking, who's it? Tom Berringer? Not Tom Berringer. Tom Sizemore. Tom Sizemore again. Ultimate lunatic. Just fucking driving in the Humvees, dude, cruising around.
Starting point is 00:42:42 And just a real battle. It's a more modern warfare. so I wanted that on my list. 1993 Somalia, dude. Fucking just so gnarly. Eric Bana. Bro, Bana. And you get two badass dudes. We got two Delta Force snipers willing to go in and hold down that crash location, too.
Starting point is 00:43:00 They fucking go in, dude. You're going to need my Rangers on the goal line. You line you're gonna need them you got tabbington doing that yeah well yeah you got the delta guys and you got uh the rangers and the delta guys are all the cool i mean they're the cool guys yeah they sniper that fucking boar and make burgers did you uh you do have one negative in this movie though and that is the lead actor, fucking Josh Hartnett, dude. Yeah. He's a dirt, dude. That guy can tank a movie like Christian Slater with his energy.
Starting point is 00:43:31 He's a bit of a dud. It's bad. The thing about Josh Hartnett is he's hot. Oh, he is? And he's kind of getting... He's a super hot guy. He's very hot. I just think he's a little bland.
Starting point is 00:43:41 He's good in Lucky Number 7 where he can play low energy but uh but you know there's something very like quintessential american about him that fits in blackhawk down real yeah it's just your average joe blow american guy who enlisted like he's relatable somehow he tries to be the poetic about it like he's there volunteering you get that a lot of foreigners playing americans in that movie yeah it's true helps. You don't like it, Aaron? No. Aaron's pissed, dude. Except for Sam Shepard's in it, so that's cool.
Starting point is 00:44:09 He's a beast player, right? That kind of makes up for all the Brits, Aussies, and Irish dudes playing Americans and Sam Shepard's in it. You got Jeremy Piven, the helicopter pilot, too. You're like, all right. He's got one. Yeah, Irene. He's the one that echoes it.
Starting point is 00:44:24 And then Sam Shepard walks out on the tarmac, and he's like, give him hell, boys. And the guy's like, he's never one irene he's the one he like he like echoes it and then sam shepherd walks out on the tarmac and he's like give him hell boys and the guy's like he's never done that before like what the fuck is did you guys cover orlando bloom's death oh no then he falls from the chopper he falls from the chopper like a bitch yeah that's how it all starts yeah rpg they dodge yeah all hell breaks loose fucking puss it's also one of those movies too where you're like you watch you're like it takes place in senegal right somalia i'm an idiot but like i had no idea that conflict had even happened yeah no like i went into the movie and i was like we've had a little skirmish in somalia i was like what the fuck were we doing there yeah yeah exactly it's a great question i don't know it uh and the movie kind of makes it it is about no man left
Starting point is 00:45:04 behind but it's also kind of a commentary, it is about No Man Left Behind, but it's also kind of a commentary on like how we're just involved in these things all the time. And at the end of the day, while you respect the bravery of the guys who are fighting there, you're also like, what the hell were we doing there? And do these guys need to be dead? I know nothing about the conflict. You're supposed to be mad at leadership. You have that scene of like Sham Shepard walking in to like the trauma unit where they're fixing up everybody and a bunch of blood spills on the ground and then it's like him trying to wipe it up and all
Starting point is 00:45:28 it's doing is making a bigger mess and he's like and it's like metaphor yeah that's a fucking fire war metaphor dude you just boosted striders pick big time let's go you have no man behind on that i got i got one more i got one more for you, baby. DVD on TV for that movie. They're like, yeah, so if you were an actor who was playing a ranger, you did a little mini boot camp with rangers. And the Delta guys were like, yeah, if you were a ranger, first day, they're like, this is how we march. And they're doing that.
Starting point is 00:46:01 The Delta guys were like, you guys want to blow something up? That's so good. Yeah, they're like, yeah, let the r guys like you guys want to blow something up yeah like they're like yeah let the rangers go figure out how to march we're gonna do some fun shit dude and that's kind of the vibe that they have and where all the where the delta guys are like super badass and kind of like um cowboys whereas like the rangers are much more straight laced all right hell yeah dude guys quick are we doing five? Fuck yeah, let's go. Of course, bro.
Starting point is 00:46:27 So Chad, you got... How many do you have so far? I have two. Oh, okay. So do I do two more? You get two more. You get Snake. Okay. One day you will understand Snake.
Starting point is 00:46:35 No, I refuse to. No, no, no. I refuse to. I'm branding myself as the guy who knows nothing. You carry nothing into battle, dude. I carry nothing out of their head. Dude, you are a blank canvas. I'm a myself as the guy who knows nothing. You carry nothing into battle, dude. I carry nothing out of their head. Dude, you are a blank canvas.
Starting point is 00:46:49 I'm a blank canvas. That probably helps. Yeah, dude. That's why I'm going with Full Metal Jacket for my next one. Wow. Although, I do love this movie. And to be honest, I only watched it for the first time recently. But I thought it was brilliant.
Starting point is 00:47:03 Like, especially, like, it's, you know, talking about, it takes you through like especially like it's you know talking about it takes you through the soldier's experience you know of like yes people who are you know fairly innocent guys and then they're just turned into killing machines and um and then but it's also like funny yeah there's like darkly comedic moments where like you have uh arlie emory is that his name the gunnery sergeant ermy yeah dude fucking hilarious and like those are quotes i remember dude i used to prank call people with you remember online where you could go on websites and you could like tap a button and it'd be like a quote from him like you couldn't suck a golf ball through a garden hose yeah i used to prank call people and just hit those lines you know yeah yeah um and then the
Starting point is 00:47:46 end too i mean it's like two movies kind of where you have like the boot camp and then them in war in vietnam it's uh it's uh when i when i got through the whole thing i was like kind of like this is long but then when i got to the end i was like it really like kind of stuck with me brutal ending it might be the most nightmarish of all the war movies. Yeah. Yeah, it disturbed me when I saw it. Watched it with a friend and his brother. It was Ross and John Daniels only saw the first half. So they thought it was a comedy when they left. And then they left to go get food.
Starting point is 00:48:16 And they're like, what was that movie you guys were watching? It was fucking hilarious. It was like boot camp bullying. And they're like two football guys who were like, I guess this is hilarious. For the longest time, I always thought it was just the boot camp because at the end, the guy, spoiler alert, the guy kills everyone.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Eats a bullet. I thought that was the end of the movie because I had never seen the full movie. It does feel like the end in a way. And also D'Onofrio, best... Right. One of the greatest weirdo actors. Totally.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Like just perfect. Every time it's got to be weird. That one scene in it of the guy in the helicopter just shooting... Oh, dude, yeah. Indiscriminately mowing down. Yeah. And then he's like,
Starting point is 00:49:03 you should do a story on me. I got 200 kills and it's just him just killing innocent people and how do you kill women and children he goes easy you just don't lead them as much terrible dude monster the war machine yeah dude
Starting point is 00:49:17 that movie's dark dude shoot a blank cream your favorite still has damn I was like maybe this is it um it's a hint all right next movie is one that i love um it's more modern uh i'm just a big fan of it hurt locker great movie yeah baby best picture didn't win best picture fuck yeah yeah director yeah jeremy renner um a perfect role for him he's awesome he's awesome in it and it just it's another movie that kind of takes you through how traumatic the soldier's experience is especially
Starting point is 00:49:53 in modern times when you're especially you know when like he's uh exposed to so much stimulus and like high adrenaline stuff like diffusing a bomb and And then the cut to him in the grocery store trying to pick out cereal. One of the greatest shots of all time. Yeah. It's so depressing. You're in the theater and you see all the cereal and you're just like,
Starting point is 00:50:12 what the hell are we doing in modern America? Totally. Just consumer choice. Yeah. And he needs meaning. They have a Chris Hedges quote, I think, at the beginning. And he has a book called War is a Machine that gives us meaning.
Starting point is 00:50:24 And that movie's all about that that it's like these guys are happier there because there's a purpose like there's something bigger than themselves that they're a part of totally and uh yeah he's an adrenaline junkie too although that part when they're drinking whiskey and wrestling it makes me want to party kind of it's fun yeah and then he goes my son he's not a pussy like i am like he calls himself a he's like the toughest man alive yeah yeah it's funny wow man yeah second catherine bigelow movie mentioned she's a beast man like her her uvra is bangers like point break she got near dark she got uh zero dark and uh hurt locker she really has a bunch of classics on there you do great word too uber yeah I was like whoa yeah damn I was about to text that to myself I don't know if it's starting with a u or an a
Starting point is 00:51:11 thank you yeah I was gonna say her quiver because that's what you call your surfboard that's cooler quiver oh it's like your quiver of arrows yeah yeah your quiver of films but she's got some short boards in there she's got some guns she's got some long boards oh she's got a short board in there for sure point break so quivers only for ins for surfboards it's like when you have multiple well quiver of arrows uh so it's like your arrows it's called a quiver but then surfers because they look I think the shape I think that's where they got that from when we had Rob Machado on the podcast over Zoom Chad's boards were in the background he's like what you got in your quiver there i was like this is the sickest
Starting point is 00:51:46 conversation that's amazing dude dude i still can't go whenever i think about how i want to age it's i want to age like rob machado beautiful looking man yeah because you look at him on even on zoom he was glowing and he's like 50. dude yeah he's what the and people are always like the sun exposure is bad for you i'm like well I've met some surfers and they all look 19. I know. So I think there's other contributing factors that are more harsh. Yeah. So what's your list so far?
Starting point is 00:52:13 Last of the Mohicans, Schindler's List, Full Metal Jacket, Hurt Locker. Almost perfect. It's a freaking, yeah. Almost great. Okay, I'm going to go with um we're doing five so aaron just looked at me so disappointed blow it with zero dark i'm gonna go with i'm gonna go with uh i gotta get world war ii on my list i'm gonna go with patton nice dude best picture 1970. have you seen it yeah absolutely seen it multiple I've seen it multiple times. I watched it alone in China.
Starting point is 00:52:46 I'm just pretty sure, too. I want to hear more about it in China. Didn't go out and see anything. Just watched it by myself with my laptop. Dude, they probably knew you were watching Patton over there, too. They were like, who's this American dude watching Patton all the time? It's like, I miss home. Dude, it's fucking badass, bro.
Starting point is 00:53:01 You know, General George S. Patton, dude. The guy that plays him, what's the actor's name? know, General George S. Patton, dude. The guy that plays him, what's the actor's name? Yeah. Dude, he looks more like Patton than Patton. He's a very interesting character. He believes in reincarnation. He thinks he's fighting as a Roman general.
Starting point is 00:53:17 A lot of hubris. Yeah, a lot of hubris. It goes all the way up to the Cold War. It was like, and it was this sort of a romanticism of war too. He's's like this is the last war for generals after this it's going to be machines and no strategy and he kicks the uh the um desert fox's ass in northern africa field marshal rommel which is sick dude they do they've got great tank battles in it you don't get a good tank battle but you got a good tank battle with wide shots That's pretty badass
Starting point is 00:53:47 Then you got him and it's like he's competing. It's like interesting because the generals perspective it's him competing with I forget the Montgomery the British general to get to like Paris first at the end they're all marching through like Italy and and uh the germans respected patton so much that like eisenhower used him as a decoy which hurt his ego so it's interesting to see like ego in the middle of this and that's really the central theme of it right is and he has that the famous scene right where he goes in there and the one soldiers doesn't want to go back out there
Starting point is 00:54:20 and patton is like so um like he can't allow cowardice to be in his own self so when he sees it in someone else like he it's like the worst part of himself that he can't acknowledge so he just ends up bitch slapping the guy and like but you can see him like shaking afterwards like just having that idea of cowardice even exist is like it's it could upend everything like his whole way of thinking about himself about the war about life totally and that was true that really happened that put him on like they kind of they say maybe he they use him as a decoy because of that or whatever some scandal but yeah the guy had like ptsd he's like i lost my sight probably because of trauma or whatever and he thought he was lying yeah hysterical blindness that's a real thing like hitler had that for a while right yeah and i
Starting point is 00:55:01 could believe if you're in battle that would happen he's like but like you said so it's just badass it's got famous scenes him in front of the american flag you've seen that in the opening football coaches used to play it for us to get us fired up yeah the the famous line no one ever won a war dying for his country he went to war by making the other guy die for his country great line so just badass how to get ww deuce on there what's your list so far it is um i went apocalypse now glory hurt locker patent blackhawk down blackhawk down yeah yeah you got a good list man yeah just try if you could be any like specialized soldier what what would you be like helicopters but if i was a badass if i was a badass i think i think you'd be a badass I would love to
Starting point is 00:55:45 be like a like a demolitions dude like in like a SEAL team or something like that like I kind of the bridge and lay claymores and you hit the thing just stay back and cover your ears boys that's cool nickname boom boom like Danny McBride big-ass titties but probably I just be like a tank valet be like a motor valet. Be like a motor pool. Valet? Yeah. We need the tanks parked over there for the attack in the morning.

Starting point is 00:59:55 culture that like now we're doing like war movies like like when i saw george clooney was making monuments men oh yeah about guys during world war ii who were making sure art was protected in europe i was like could there be a more inconsequential angle yeah but you know there's a picasso they were gonna burn and be like dude no one cares yeah exactly um which uh yeah but yeah no one no one went i've still never seen it when i saw the trailer i got they did never seen it when i saw the trailer i got they did a good job when i saw the trailer i'm like fuck we gotta save this art that's how impressionable i am i was like fuck dude this art man um fuck this there's a lot of like i guess i should just
Starting point is 01:00:38 you know what i'll get i'll just let's get a nom one in there even though i don't watch this movie very much but like it'll help i'll just keep rounding out the list and just go platoon yeah i mean bro it's a great that was the thing man i was i knew it yeah dude oh that's exactly we're going five we're going five it's a that's a great it's an incredible movie yeah tom barringer dude the scar they decided to put on his face. Where you're like, this guy looks so fucking evil and fucked up. And he's like, I am. And then casting Willem Dafoe.
Starting point is 01:01:12 As a good guy. As a good guy. As like the moral heart. Like you're like, all right, there's the Green Goblin. Like I knew he was the Green Goblin before he ever played the Green Goblin. Peter Parker. I was like, yeah, when they cast him, I was like, was like yeah when they cast was like a green goblin is playing green goblin but he does such a good job of being the counterbalance and being the
Starting point is 01:01:32 heart of the like the ethical soldier it's uh it's just interesting yeah and he dies like jesus and that's the famous he's out he's out like jesus when he gets murked and they're so bad no bullshit that's what i was thinking when i said i knew it and charlie sheen's a badass in that movie you got like the weird partying going on like that yeah they do a lot of opium which is tight oh yeah it's like whoa these guys get funky and what one of the like a good war movie if it's trying to be like depict war and its brutality like you got to have those scenes where you're like this is the most fucked up thing i've ever seen no one should ever do that to another human yes and it has like like the kevin dylan scenes when he's oh so dark in the
Starting point is 01:02:16 village oh my god oh my that's really tough to watch yeah that's why like the thing is that's why it's so hard for me to pick and i was like that's why i didn't pick it because i was like we're going fine but like it's a really good movie but like when i watch more movies it's usually because you want to feel bad there's yeah they're super basic and like i said earlier like there's like good guys bad guys yeah yes exactly but i guess i needed some whatever i know when i watched it i was like i think that's the only time i it's a one and done now i've only seen it once because it was like yeah this movie is like really fucking not fun and and the the what most people think is the greatest war movie of all time is still on the board on most the lists i saw yeah but but but because it's such
Starting point is 01:03:01 a one and done or where you're, I don't need to revisit. But maybe that's what makes it a good war movie. Well, I'll get into it when I'm picking. Keep going. No, that was my pick. Let's split, too. And that's the first movie where they put the guys through. Boot camp for training.
Starting point is 01:03:20 Oh, yeah. Oh, that's right. My one issue with it is, is Charlie Sheen kind of bad in it. He's good. You know what it is when he's going crazy at the end and he's like, got like the war spirit in him. Yeah. It might be the way they shoot it. But when he's just jumping around with his gun, he's like, ah, da da da da da da da da da da da it just doesn't want to took you out of it. Didn't feel real. Yeah. It was a little like comical. Yeah. I think that's just 80s filmmaking yeah and even oliver stone and i love ollie stone this is a good movie it's a great
Starting point is 01:03:51 movie all right i got two picks um that's crazy top gun versus platoon bro top gun technically could be on the list bro no it's not no no no it's a band though it's a band i think they're fighting an enemy i'm actually that's like that's like the gladiator like just because there's like a battle and it doesn't mean and there is no enemy like you don't it's like yeah innocuous on purpose the other side denies the event like it's not even a yeah it's tough i would i think that's a a bend but maybe it's because i'm feeling a little bendy maybe i'd go with that bend um all right i got two picks to round out my list so far i have um i've got saving private ryan thin red line and zero dark 30. that's a good list i'm going with um what are you snickering about what are you snickering about
Starting point is 01:04:42 what are you snickering about i'm not a bigickering about? What are you snickering about? I'm not a big Thin Red Line fan. I just gotta say. Well, I do nor am I. I'm not a Thin Red Line fan. You guys, you guys, it's really good. It's really good.
Starting point is 01:04:54 It's not good. Chris was a good job being your brother in the foxhole with you. You know why I picked it? You know why I love that movie? You know why I picked it? Because war movies bum me out so much
Starting point is 01:05:01 and I'm like, that movie hasn't bummed me out yet, but I heard it's great. It's the biggest bummer movie of all time. will bum you out so hard watching it yeah i might never watch it yeah don't watch it i might never watch especially when you're hung over you made my day 10 times worse exactly bro i had to go for a walk dude yes uh get an ice cream just to cancel it out all right i'm gonna do gonna do you know what I guys again I don't think we have I'm gonna have my list be a theme my last one was female driven I'm going GIJ no I'm kidding I'm
Starting point is 01:05:33 kidding that's a sick ass movie though it's not a warm it's not really war it's like a training but it's a training movie okay there is a battle that I've never seen a thing feels a wild thing feels vigo morrison yeah yeah that's a good line but i prefer suck my dick oh that's a great line from her yeah she's hot um all right i'm gonna go men of honor it's that's that's a funny one it's not war movie that movie is just like divers we just got to make people cry um sorry guys it's gonna take me a second that's right chris i know
Starting point is 01:06:13 i know what cold war movie you were thinking of yeah it was bridge of spies oh it was yeah hilarious that's what i'm gonna do but there's no that's a great ass there's not a war going on you're right was a cold war so I don't know it's the cold war it's a bend no they're worried about the bender they're worried about they're worried about separatists getting launch codes so I guess there's like a internal conflict in a country but there's not a fucking Chris brings up a good point but it's a sick ass all right I'm not I'm not gonna do it I'm not gonna do that that is what i was gonna pick though if you want to do a sub oh you're fucking right dude what's that it's yeah chris it's a conflict
Starting point is 01:06:54 not a war so well that's what i was gonna some of our movies are about battles or skirmishes yeah but at least there's soldiers are being deployed bro yeah well so where you went on crimson tide erin you think that's a legit war movie there's boots on the ground in black hawk down bro well there's no ground in crimson tide i think it counts if you're going to sub movie like i think it counts you kind of need a sub movie there's one sitting there i know but here's the thing it's it's like a sub genre oh dude Don't dude. Dude. Fucking. Oh dude. I'm getting drenched bro. Oh.
Starting point is 01:07:46 Oh fuck. Oh. It would just be so nice to get Denzel and Gene Hackman. Don't. The thing is like I'm arguing so against it because I'm like. You don't think I would have fucking done that by now? Okay. Maybe dude. Great Tim Curry performance dude.
Starting point is 01:08:01 Down Periscope. That's the one that I love. Dude. Harlan Williams. I love Harlan Williams dude. He's the best. Oh dude. He's great in that I love. Dude, Harlan Williams. I love Harlan Williams, dude. He's great in that movie. What about documentary? I know what you want.
Starting point is 01:08:10 I know what you want. You can't ask these questions. Just make your pick. I think it's a good pick, dude. Honestly, dude, it's one of the best movies ever. But it's a documentary. It's great. My list is fucked.
Starting point is 01:08:25 You're also going heavy on war on terror this is defining more of my lifetime um good point all right and then with my fifth pick yeah you know what I'm just going I think it's really hard there's the I think it's francois truffaut he said it's impossible to make an anti-war movie because every movie you make about war uh unintentionally glorifies yeah it works that way with most things it's hard to make an anti-drug dealing movie because every time you watch like new jack city or blow you're like this shit looks fucking cool first act of blow rips dude like there's just something if you put together a montage of guys fighting and you put music behind it you can be telling us through our intellectual brain that war is bad but deep
Starting point is 01:09:09 down we're we're primal creatures and all we're getting is is adrenaline and juice and and we're just thinking about the virtues of it the courage and the and the strength and all that stuff but i think this is the closest to an anti-war movie that I've seen, and that's Paths of Glory by Stanley Kubrick. And I think Kubrick comes the closest, because I also think Full Metal Jacket almost makes you feel like an anti-war movie. But you watch Paths of Glory, and you never see the other side that they're fighting.
Starting point is 01:09:37 It's all the own side fucking over their own men. And the story is basically that this colonel wants to get a promotion, so they kind of, uh... And they promise him a promotion if he'll take this hill that I don't even think they really need strategically, but it would play well for the optics of, like, the news and the other politicians. So he, against his better judgment, sends these guys in to die.
Starting point is 01:10:00 Guys realize there's no point to this, so they pull back. These are courageous men, but they just decide in the moment, like, hey, it's not worth it. We're all just gonna get fucking killed. And then the colonel feels so mo- so much embarrassment over it that he decides, all right, well, we have to kill a bunch of our own guys to send a message that cowardice won't be accepted. And then Kirk Douglas plays the hero, who, kind of in legal style, ends up defending them in, like, a tribunal. And he's basically like, you can't kill these guys.
Starting point is 01:10:24 Like, these guys are heroes. And he's basically like, you can't kill these guys. Like these guys are heroes. And he's trying through all of his wiliness and honor to try to find a way to keep them from being killed. But you know, they're fucked from the jump. And that like the machine of war and how people can capitalize on that is going to win out. So to me, that's the closest to an anti-war movie I've ever seen.
Starting point is 01:10:42 So I'm going to go, I'm going to go Paths of War. Paths of Glory. I've never seen it. I heard it's amazing. I've never seen it either, yeah. I watched it two nights ago. You should watch, dude. I know. You watched it two nights ago?
Starting point is 01:10:50 Like in prep? In prep. Wow. Is it Vietnam? So there's a little bit of a recent surprise. No, it's World War I. Okay, yep. Oh, so I got a World War I in there too.
Starting point is 01:10:59 Let's go. World War I movies are brutal. Those are good anti-war movies. They said that was the war to end all wars. Yeah, one just came to mind. I was like, oh, fuck house and that was the one where like technology outstripped like what we knew about war the most up until that point right so like when you listen like hardcore history on it it's basically yeah it's just fodder it's just like we're gonna send a million guys in to die and that'll wear the that'll wear them the fuck out and then at the end of it it'll just be a
Starting point is 01:11:21 pyrrhic victory we'll just have a couple more guys in them, so we'll be the champs. That's brutal. But at the start, he talks about people still thought, like, no, you charge and you win battles by riling up your men and you charge and you take the spot that you need to. It's like, but everyone had machine guns now. So charging it didn't do anything. If you just die. Dude, so true.
Starting point is 01:11:43 And then on Restrepo, Restrepo is just a documentary about an outpost in Afghanistan. And it's very intimate. Like Sebastian Younger, and I forget the other dude who passed away, he's a journalist. They're like totally embedded with these troops.
Starting point is 01:11:57 And you watch them go into conflict in the documentary. And the guys are all, you're rooting for all of them. They seem like really good, well-intentioned like just brave americans and uh but then you also see again the higher-ups just there's a scene where they're negotiating with the locals about what the deal is going to be and the locals are like hey the last colonel like killed all of our goats and fucked us over on a deal and like left us exposed to like the taliban and the colonel just hears
Starting point is 01:12:24 that he goes well that was that guy's fucking bullshit i'm the new guy i don't inherit any of that and you're like dude i don't think that's how it works bro yeah exactly just like reset yeah oh i don't know i mean one of the filmmakers died in like an active uh like conflict a couple years later yeah where he was just doing journalism i mean it's such a good movie i feel like i just saw a movie called the outpost that was on netflix where it's like dude yeah i saw that where it's like a scripted version of like exactly what restrepo is but it's just not as good because like you just you always get better sound bites from like the the little like the little moments you get from just like talking to all these guys who live in every day and then like when um and it's named
Starting point is 01:13:04 restrepo for one of their comrades who dies and like that's where it takes on the name and just here it's just so it's so intense and you get such little moments from them um yeah it's fucking insane movie it is gnarly dude and when there's that death too it really oh you just yeah you feel it it's really like this is so nice but probably too much of a band chris you're a i thought about it yeah yeah yeah yeah i don't um there's an obvious one what do you think you know which one i'm thinking whole mountain no no not cold not cold mountain horrendous what i don't know it's a great movie yeah i love that dude i saw that movie like my dad he's so funny like has his home theater we
Starting point is 01:13:51 saw that in theaters like around the holidays we walked out of the movies he goes this is why i don't go to the movies anymore hilarious he didn't like it he hated it oh it's such a good movie it's the odyssey basically yeah yeah it just, you don't really feel the civil war. You don't feel it. No, no. It's just like, shit's fucked up.
Starting point is 01:14:09 Shit's fucked up. There are some fucking gnarly. Renee Zellberg is tremendous. Charlie Hunnam is the albino guy. Um, the song, you know, the song,
Starting point is 01:14:17 you know, I love that. Apple tree. Yeah. What is it? What is the song? Dude, I wish I was,
Starting point is 01:14:24 there it is. My baby was born. and the bad guy cries listening to music come on he knows what he has that's good movie making yeah it's a really good movie it's so good that scene is amazing is that jack black too ray winston oh uh who's in that in that movie ethan suplee jack black is yeah or uh jack white jack white jack white that yeah black is yeah or uh jack white jack white jack white that yeah um i don't really do you want me to help you yeah kind of there's one if you say but it's bad i'm against it what three three words no oh oh i know what it is yeah no no no no no fair enough i mean i can't i mean is this cheating is this collusion what's going on here sorry you gotta call it out quicker that's true
Starting point is 01:15:13 it's not a foul unless the referee calls i met it at the bar chips met it at the margin dude yeah um all right maybe you saw well then so should i not pick that one because i was you can pick it you can pick it but the judge will note it yeah we're gonna get roasted in the comments for being pieces of shit well then okay well then maybe i won't do that yeah then you know what i'm just gonna go with a movie that um i fucking love i've seen it a gajillion times i think it's a b but it kicks so much ass that like i don't think it's like i think there are better movies to be had but i'm going troy yeah bro it's a great movie dude i mean it's no is it a good movie no but is it badass is it yeah and it's just so fun first fictional war yeah injected into the convo uh no trojan war happened there's like evidence
Starting point is 01:16:06 of the trojan war that went down oh yeah i mean did it happen like that oh you want a troy yeah fuck yeah yeah chad was taking a nap oh yeah i thought no one was gonna go for troy i was like man dude i don't know man i was thinking either that or Mulan. Oh! That's a good pick. Wow, dude. Dude, that would have been sick. Oh, I thought I was going to get roasted for that one. No, that's pretty good. Now I know my pick.
Starting point is 01:16:34 You would like a specific moment of like, but I don't know. I mean, you could change her name to Jane. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That would have been very in keeping. Yeah, Troy. I mean, probably it's the sickest fucking sword fights ever dude the choreography on the sword fights is insane and then uh like even like the stiff acting i like in it like when brad pitt's like you sack of wine like it's like you know it's that's kind of stupid but i love it uh there is something
Starting point is 01:17:02 about that movie where they were trying so hard. Yeah, exactly. Every scene, they're like, this is going to be epic. Like that same scene, Brian Cox being like, maybe I'll give her a bath, and who knows? Who knows what it is. And it's like, you're doing great. It's on the cornier side, which I think is fun. And then, yeah, you get a lot of people getting stabbed and spears
Starting point is 01:17:28 and all that cool shit. I thought you were a dumb brute. I could have forgiven a dumb brute. Yeah, dude, Rose Byrne with curly hair. Dude, yeah. Dude, what's her face? What's her name? Daniel?
Starting point is 01:17:41 Diane Kruger. Diane Kruger's ass? Yeah, it's Helen. Amazing. Enough to launch a thousand ships another another Oh bloom Yeah, a big person that one. Yeah He's like doing his own dad is like die Fight him son fight Peter O'Toole a gajillion years. Oh, they said it was tough. That was like a beleaguered shoot They were in Mexico. I think in like 110 degree combo and they were saying like yeah walking Peter O'Toole, a gajillion years old. Oh, dude. They said it was tough. That was like a beleaguered shoot.
Starting point is 01:18:05 They were in Mexico, I think, in like 110 degree heat. And they were saying like walking Peter O'Toole out there to do his thing. Yeah, he's like, I'm English. I'm not used to this. Yeah, what the fuck is this? Dude, I rewatched the Hector versus Achilles fight a lot. And when they stormed the beach. I mean, those are so rewatchable.
Starting point is 01:18:25 We are lions. Yeah. Oh yeah. And the way they speed up Brad Pitt's moves, like when he is hucking spears and stuff like that. And bro, his little jump spin move that he does to take, that's such a sick ass move. Boagrius!
Starting point is 01:18:37 Oh, that part's pretty sick. One thing about that, I woulda, they go with the, like a very superficial sword cut to suggest how accurate he is. I would have liked to have with the, like a very superficial sword cut to suggest how accurate he is. Yeah. I would have liked to have seen that sword go all the way into Boagrius' body. I agree.
Starting point is 01:18:51 I would have liked that more. A little more carnage on it. Right. It's a little too clean for me. It's PG-13, you know what I mean? Oh, that's what it is. Yeah. It is a little too, the battles are a little too PG-13 for me.
Starting point is 01:19:01 They just kind of, they don't, but you know, I got Braveheart on the list. And that gives me all the gore. Covered on carnage forever. And then I double down with the Patriot where it's, you know, he's hacking a guy up and he's covered in blood. Yeah. You could do an all-in-all list. When I was in middle school.
Starting point is 01:19:16 I thought about it. When I was in middle school and Troy came out, I remember the first scene where the kid comes to get him. Yeah. And he's in there and it's just like a bunch of chicks I'm like of course dude he just bones all the time that's why he's late to the battle he must be so tired well not in Achilles
Starting point is 01:19:31 but I'd be exhausted get off me I need to go fight I gotta save my jizz a lot of good bear ass shots you get a good Brad Pitt bear ass shot and then you get a good Diane Kruger bear ass I like when Brad Pitt's body is covered in like like charcoal or something yeah you know he's got like uh I don't know where he got the like the black stains from but you're like yes it's hot
Starting point is 01:19:54 oh right it's kind of like a mechanic and then he just dumps the water on himself and you're like you know yeah get wetter yeah yeah that's Orlando Bloom pearls from the sea of Papantus. Everyone's eyes in that movie are just boom, popping, dude. Yeah. All right, bro. I'm going for a bend right now, dude. This is our fifth pick, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:23 Look, I got a fastball I could throw in the middle and just hit it nice. But would I really be the bender if I don't try to bend right now? No, man. I'm going with the Last Samurai. Dude, no. I don't even think that's a bend. It's modernization in Japan. I don't know the exact name of the war, but it is a warrior
Starting point is 01:20:39 going over to inform another warrior of how to fight. And it's all about the warrior's code. And here's the thing, dude. You got two Ed Zwick movies now. And Zwick's... He's a beast. He's a beast, bro. He's a beast.
Starting point is 01:20:50 And I shall miss our conversations. Fireline, I mean, it's all about... It's once again talking about strategy, not catching up to technology, the gap. And yeah, that was a thing. It's based in an actual... I think for my... I would never pick a sci-fi movie. We talked about Sgt. Troopers, but the a thing that that was it's based in an actual I think for my I would never pick a sci-fi movie
Starting point is 01:21:05 like we talked about Star Trek troopers, but like the actual stakes of that battle and It's the old Code dying out to the new mm-hmm I mean, it's uh, it's fucking so many good things and dude It really makes you care about the samurai way of life like when you come out of that movie You're like they're doing it right we're totally fucked up over here like it do you believe it would have righted his soul and even when the the wantonabi's kid gets his ponytail cut off oh and they cut to the close-up
Starting point is 01:21:33 of him i know that must have affected you a lot um when when they cut his ponytail off i was like those bastards like i felt it yeah yeah it's coming out of like i forget what they call the war against the native americans in the u.s but It's coming out of like, I forget what they call the war against the Native Americans in the US, but it is like a 20 year period. Maybe they just call it like the Western front or something. I don't know,
Starting point is 01:21:51 but it's coming out of that war and then doing the same thing over in Japan. And now he's on the other side. It's pretty great that way too. And then Cruz is good. And dude, it's funny. It's got funny beats in it. Yeah.

Boom, dude. and dude it's funny it's got funny beats in it yeah yeah bob stuff the bob stuff's great and then bob dies for him i've been in time boom dude right through his chest and the badass samurai guy who oh my god it's so good well the guy that yeah the guy that he first when he first draws like dude that shit got me fired up in the battle with the guns how many bullets all the good guys take they get hit like seven times you keep fighting if you're a samurai you can get shot by a gun like four or nine times before you're not able to because even Bob takes one to the chest and then he
Starting point is 01:22:33 murders the guy who murdered him he's too much honor dude and then he falls down that movie and Troy were like the two that I almost started doing fencing because of those that would've been cool well i was like i don't want to do fencing i wanted like a katana but i didn't know where to find that class but it was like those two maybe got me so fired up on sword play so yeah dude yeah i know that's an anti-aaron creme movie i know he doesn't like last samurai but aaron here's the thing dude you're fucking wrong dude that movie rips why don't you like well we'll pass it over but dude it's so sick that's a great pick great pick you gotta what's your list so it goes apocalypse now glory black hawk down oh damn this is pat

Starting point is 01:25:02 All right. So let's kick it to, oh, we should do some honorable mentions quick. Oh, yeah. None of us picked Deer Hunter. No, no. It's just so intense, man. The wedding seems so bad, dude. Dude, I love that we all just shit on the greatest...
Starting point is 01:25:13 No, it's just... We're like fucked. Aaron's shaking his head no, too. It's so long. It's so intense. Imitation game. Yeah. But is it a woman?
Starting point is 01:25:23 I mean, they are fighting technically that was like i saw it once and i was like i get it right i hate to use pejoratives but it is like what were the nerds up to and you go yeah you could do darkest hour churchill darkest hour is good crimson tide we already mentioned but we didn't like it 300 master oh yeah oh dr strange love yeah i was almost gonna do that 1917 yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Dr. Strangelove. Yeah. I was almost going to do that. 1917. Yeah. People are going to be mad we didn't pick that. American Sniper.
Starting point is 01:25:48 Bridge Too Far. Bridge Over River Kwai. Dude, I tried to watch American Sniper on the plane when we were flying to Nashville, and I thought it was real, like, corny, corny. Yeah. It is. Oh, American Sniper? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:26:00 It also had the fake baby, dude. Dude, it's kind of- Fake baby fucked with me so much. It is. I think Seth Rogen had a tweet about it. Like, he- It's like, it is the movie from Inglourious Bastards. Like it's kind of baby fucked with me so much i think seth rogan had a tweet about like he it's like it is the movie from inglorious bastards like it kind of right yeah it's it it's just a like he the way he plays the character is just like uh oh you know i don't know much but you know i like you and i'm you know i gotta protect people when they're in trouble it's a little too like uh i know simple uh tropic thunder the greatest war movie never made i thought someone
Starting point is 01:26:25 would pick it i thought so that was a bad it's tough yeah my second pick kind of threw me off i was like damn i think yeah once you had schindler's you had your pivot movie yeah right yeah once you fucked up with schindler's you had to do some other stuff uh the two david lean ones which are both really good. Bridge on the River, Quiet, POW drama. But then Lawrence of Arabia, dude,
Starting point is 01:26:48 that movie. Yeah, that's all time. That's like the big one, Well, Casablanca too. Yeah, Casablanca.
Starting point is 01:26:52 Oh yeah, that's a good one. U571, the sub movie. Yeah, dude. And Das Boot, is like the original.
Starting point is 01:26:58 I've never seen Das Boot. It's good. Dude, Tigerland's a dope movie. Tigerland is really good. And Colin Farrell's probably best performance. And it's just about guys training before they go to Vietnam. And Colin Farrell's like, I don't want to go because I hear it sucks.
Starting point is 01:27:11 So it's just him trying to not have to go. Dunkirk? Dude, I thought about the Mel Gibson to keep. Oh, Dunkirk. Oh, Dunkirk, yeah. But you know what? Nolan with these timelines, just give me a fucking. He took a movie that was so just rich and good and just fucked
Starting point is 01:27:26 it up with these timelines it does have six scenes don't get there's fucking six scenes but I never I got so bummed when the kid broke his head yeah and never got to I know it's like I know that's like life that like random shit happens
Starting point is 01:27:42 and there's no meaning to it and that's the meaning but I was like I was like I just didn't have the band before. In a World War II movie, there's so many guys who did fight. I'm like, show the guys who did make it over there. It like made a good point, but it bummed me out too much that it, that it like, I don't like your movie. And who's the main character in that? There is no real main character.
Starting point is 01:27:59 It's like, it's like time. Time's the main fucking character. I didn't, I didn't, I didn't get to know any of the characters enough. By the end of it, I was like, these are all just pieces on a board. That's true. It's not like some of the other war movies we talked about where you're like, oh, dude, my heart's with this person. It was a little bit like, I was like, yeah, that's a good actor.
Starting point is 01:28:12 The dad's the coolest character in that movie. I thought that should have been the main thing, was all these brave guys who were regular citizens. Exactly. Just show us some plain stuff. Show us a little bit of that. Make it about the dad. Yeah, you got to keep the plain stuff. And that's so good what's his name the death mark he's amazing
Starting point is 01:28:29 yeah bring the spies baby you know what's been funny you know when the guys are like running and stuff the airy styles yeah that was a little weird too like you're like you know all he has to do though is just kind of like he just gets like mad at one point and otherwise just sit there and look handsome yeah nolan did make everyone in that movie like all the guys on that beach should say boys he like made sure that they were like 16 to 18 or like 18 and like however yeah they looked yeah they look young do you mean trying to take a dump in the beginning yeah uh dude can't even take it i i came close to picking this i think three Three Kings is a really, really dope movie. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:08 It's funny. It's got good political commentary. It's weird. You never know where it's going, but it always stays connected to... And then it kind of gives you an action scene, too. It checks a lot of boxes and ones that you normally can't
Starting point is 01:29:24 in a war movie. Is Lincoln a war movie? Nah. I was just about to ask that. I was wondering. I don't think so. It's more about the man. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:31 Patton is, you have battle scenes and stuff. You have literally zero battle scenes in Lincoln. Yeah. Rescue Dawn. Oh, Letters from Iwo Jima. I just watched Letters from Iwo Jima. It's so good. I do like it.
Starting point is 01:29:41 It's a scene where they all ice themselves, dude. It is gnarly. I really like that movie i've never seen the great escape that's a great movie steve mcqueen it's kind of hokey like those old movies are kind of hokey but do you know it's an old movie that is good it's a pow drama and for my money the best one the grand illusion dude this french movie it's really fucking good it's like one of the only like really old movies that i actually enjoyed and it has like one of the main guys in it is jewish and he has a monologue
Starting point is 01:30:11 towards the end of the movie where they like finally like they escape and a lot of it's about like how the officers who were the officer like the the um the officers connect more with their captive officers and they do their own men so it also talks a lot about class divides. But eventually some people escape. And he's like, they make it to safety. And he just talks. And it's like a monologue about how borders are just kind of made up. And it's really poignant.
Starting point is 01:30:36 And one of the dudes who's part of that monologue is Jewish. And he got killed during World War II. Whoa. That happened like, you know, started like a couple years after that movie came out. Jesus. Strider, we're forgetting our favorite war movie.
Starting point is 01:30:51 Midway. Midway is sick, dude. Dick Best. Dick Best. That's a real name. He's a real guy. I can't even remember how he did how did he talk dude dude just like perfectly heroic like yes captain i'll go in there and
Starting point is 01:31:10 get it done for you didn't have a brooklyn accent though like weirdly maybe he's like put me in i can't do it oh there's chris harper poor harper terrible movie bad movie but i love it tora tora tora is a poor harper movie yeah but it's so long oh it's so long a couple empire of the sun good movie very cool movie very different never seen it it's good tears of the sun uh spielberg again what more mel gibson uh we were soldiers i thought you might go with that i was gonna do it but i had apocalypse now it's better it's a better movie and we were soldiers i like it but it's you know better movie and we were soldiers i like it but it's you know it's kind of basic hacksaw ridge um i i tried i watched that the other day in prep for this just like again hard baby i love it it's a little it's a little too corny for me but you know what that guy was like that he was a super
Starting point is 01:31:57 religious guy you know please lord let me get another that's the opening scene where he the opening scene where dudes are just on fire and back i was so happy when i saw it i was like thank god mel gibson's making yeah yeah it was like i saw what like i think i saw it with joe and becca and we both all i don't know all three of us were like oh my god of course like classic mel vince vaughn's good in that one i do yeah you got guns of navarone or navarine is good lone avengers infinity war yeah i thought about some of the avengers movies end game yeah star wars for me i'm like dude real battle of stakes are so is good. Lone Survivor? Avengers Infinity War? Yeah. I thought about some of the Avengers movies, Endgame, yeah. Star Wars?
Starting point is 01:32:27 For me, I'm like, dude, real battle of stakes are so much higher. Like, why would I ever put a fantasy list on this list? That's how I felt too. They just don't have
Starting point is 01:32:34 the gravitas. Enemy at the Gates? Great movie with sniping. Fucking sick movie. Best sex scene of all time. Oh, dude, yeah, yeah, dude. Oh, great sex scene. That girl got
Starting point is 01:32:42 the worst UTI of her life after that sex. Yes, she did. Yes, she did. I promise got the worst UTI of her life after that sex. Yes, she did. I promise you. She better be quick. But then she's like, I already had one. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:50 Fair enough. Yeah. This means war with Reese Witherspoon and Chris Pine. Dude, goofy one, In the Loop. Oh, I haven't seen that. Oh, that's a really good one. You didn't like it. It's a bad one.
Starting point is 01:33:02 I remember I was trying to make you see it. It was Armando and Yuiki. I think I remember. How you say it? I remember I was trying to make you see it. It was the Armando and Yuiki. I can't remember. How you say it? It was too quibby. And Inuchi. It's just all talky. It's just like politicians manufacturing the war.
Starting point is 01:33:14 But it's funny. This guy did Veep and stuff. It's really, really funny. Fury is a good movie. I like it. Fury is decent. It's decent. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:23 Oh, man. Too many of the scenes I felt like what they were going for but i didn't think they got and like you know what had that war thing where the guys all talk i'm looking ahead shy and john berthnal the leaders of the pack in this front of just like oh dude if you do a voice that means you're manly where they're like some of the scenes are always like hey this is my job my best job out of hand like hey you don't like whiskey i'm like i get it i get it they're they're tough you're gonna let me have breakfast with these guys? Yeah, look, I made mistakes.
Starting point is 01:33:47 You know, I don't want some bad things. You're not letting me hook up with this girl. I'm a bad guy. Yeah, that movie lost me at that really weird dinner scene that felt like it went on for an hour. Oh, way too long. They're like hurt that they weren't invited. You know?
Starting point is 01:34:03 Yeah. I'm like tom tom hall always makes a good point that the reason logan lerman survived at the end is because he maintained his innocence and the innocence of the german shoulder could see soldier could see that in him that he never betrayed his like sweetness or his code towards other people and that's why he lives at the end is that how war actually happens i don't know you better believe it's not um there's the spartacus wipe the innocence out of them yes revolt but yeah 13 hours dude dope movie which one's that again is that like uh oh yeah that movie's pretty sick lone
Starting point is 01:34:40 survivor great bro yeah another movie where like it's in last samurai category we're like and it's based on real life so i need to be more careful but like the dudes take some punishment in that movie oh like by the end of it you're like i think this guy's been shot eight times and fallen down like three rock cliffs and he's just like and dude ben foster's quote he's like you tell my wife that i died with my brothers and with a full fucking heart i'm like dude hell yeah dude dude so gnarly the other thing i like about lone survivor is that the the afghanistan tribe protects him at the end yeah because of like a code they invoke a code yeah because of their i didn't expect that
Starting point is 01:35:15 that was nice they're good hosts yeah i like that all right should we move forward yeah should we kick it to aaron cool a couple honorable mentions we've we didn't hit that i wanted to uh give life to a very long engagement uh it's a follow-up to amelie from that director and with audrey toto it's a great world war one movie um it's about like losing your fiancee in the war and then trying to locate him and it's a mystery and it's it's awesome great to watch that with your girlfriend or your wife trust me we'll get you laid um wait what's the name of it again a very long engagement cast romantic but it's also fun not very long very short engagement uh you guys didn't mention valkyrie if we're talking t cruise Cruise. Oh, yeah. Solid. I mean, you know, the director's a little out there. He's a perv.
Starting point is 01:36:07 Yeah, to say the least. He's a sick perv. Fictional war movie, because you guys really didn't do a fictional war movie the way that I thought it might come up. Edge of Tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:36:16 Oh, that is a cool movie. That is a cool movie. Yeah, that's a good one. It's a fictional war. And you guys hit everything else. Thank you. Appreciate it. Are you guys hit everything else thank you appreciate it are you guys
Starting point is 01:36:26 going to see this new World War II movie with the guy from Top Gun oh Devotion yeah Korean War
Starting point is 01:36:32 is it Korean War isn't that I don't think so it says America's Forgotten War it'd be hilarious if they built World War II
Starting point is 01:36:40 is that there's no real Korean War movies the closest you get is like is it yeah oh wait mash is mash mash was on some list yeah all right um i feel like i have a pretty solid idea of who won this one let me go backwards from four to one I think you start I think you start off strong Chris braveheart and even the Patriot although I think that could go later I don't know why i just felt like this list should go like serious to to then more levity more yeah a little more yeah i don't know i
Starting point is 01:37:32 arbitrarily chose that yeah yeah but you didn't arbitrarily choose it's a good movie no i'm saying you you're a criteria he's battling you know you guys are fighting right now yeah it's war it should be serious right to some degree i don't know um nice oh so the patriots not a serious movie i'm texting mel right now my cousin saw it and my cousin is like super anti-america like not anti-america but like he's big like we're pieces of like imperialism like we do bad things across but he saw that movie in canada and he said when mel gibson started waving the american flag the canadians started laughing and booing and he said he went ballistic in the theater defending it that's right dude
Starting point is 01:38:13 still it was yeah chapman hilarious um yeah i mean it's it's not like you really made a bad pick i think i think you guys are all very close the the win the jakes de barley i just who's seen it is my only question for a three no it'd be a great five like because it's like oh i'll check that out i'll still check it out at three but like you're very committed to the order of things that means a lot to you because i think yeah i think the the better movies certainly the ones, I mean, they don't have to win an Academy Award, but the ones that did should be. Does a Palme d'Or count? Because it won one. It did win Cannes.
Starting point is 01:38:54 That's funny. Cannes. No, I like that. I like that. It won Caney's. It did win Caney's. Before I made my decisions. And then you obviously hit my cream mine platoon at four.
Starting point is 01:39:08 I should, let me do your list again. Braveheart, Patriot, the Win the Chicks, the Barley, platoon, Troy. Troy is a great five pick. Nothing wrong with that, but I still think, I still think there are better lists out here. My two and three are a little closer than i thought just say it dude i don't see that's the thing they will quibble with you about schindler's list and that's fine yeah but the rest of your list is fucking amazing yeah no his list was
Starting point is 01:39:42 strong three through five like you did not and not give up like oh i fucking lost and my beef with schindler's list is that it doesn't fire me up yeah but not really they shouldn't fire yeah chris kicked it took place during a war it takes place during a war for sure there's guns and unforgiven you know there's guns in the movie the guy holds a gun that's like violent action it's a very important movie strider dude i gotta say i agree a hundred percent it's a beautiful movie yeah beautiful movie yeah but tragic story but yeah it's it's tough because obviously well if i would have honored i would have done done Zero Dark Thirty, G.I. Jane, and A League of Their Own. A League of Their Own?
Starting point is 01:40:28 Takes place during the war. Yeah. Oh, my God. That's so fucking funny. You imagine you're with the boys. Everyone's like, best war movie. I got it. I got it. I got it.
Starting point is 01:40:41 And then it starts. He's like, boys, A League of Their Own. You know what, three, aside from that being hilarious, three, I think I gotta go JT. For sure. You have the greatest first pick. Yeah, that was a slam dunk. And for my heart, the best five pick,
Starting point is 01:40:59 The Paths of Glory is an amazing movie. It's amazing, it's really good. Kirk Douglas, man. That guy's- The Thin Red Line fucking sucks. Well, dude, I mean, I definitely don't deserve to win. I picked a movie I haven't seen.
Starting point is 01:41:11 Yeah. I mean, at that point, I think I was... You look at that cast, though, you go, that should be a winner. And I've fallen asleep twice watching that movie. I should have just picked Platoon. I overthought the fucking movie.
Starting point is 01:41:19 Dude, I literally think there's a lizard that has more screen time than, like, fucking, you know, Robert Duvall, whoever the fuck's in that movie. I have seen parts. I have seen more of it. Cusack. I remember I had a film school teacher
Starting point is 01:41:30 when he was like, the alligator comes out of the swamp. That is literally man evolving out of the primordial soup. And where does that extend? What is the next like incarnation of that? War, death, destruction. And then when a bomb goes off, do we see the body? No, we see the earth carnage. We see a tree exploding because that carnage will exist forever.
Starting point is 01:41:49 And man's blood will just keep coming again and again. And I was like, yeah, fuck yeah. That's my number two pick. Then if nature matters more, then you could have cast nobody in that movie. Maybe it'd be better. Right. Look, it was a stupid pick.
Starting point is 01:42:06 But what about the rest of them that's pretty solid yeah zero dark 30 you know for for all i've said about it it's still good like it's still good it's a little bit slow but you know it's fine that last scene you cannot argue is amazing uh and restrepo is a great doc i don't think docs belong here because i think there'd be a thousand more docs. I agree with you, too. That was a stupid pick, too. So that's the only reason I'm saying. Thin Red Line and Restrepo just being probably not,
Starting point is 01:42:35 shouldn't even be in this draft just because of the doc. So how the fuck did I get last? Yeah, that's true. You probably should have beat me. I deserve last place. I mean, you still have Saving Private Ryan. Like, you didn't. I did have Saving Private Ryan. Like, you didn't... I did have Saving Private Ryan. You didn't go the Sean Penn route.
Starting point is 01:42:48 If you'd have gone Thin Red Line number one, I'd be like, get the fuck out of here. That's a good point. It's your house. This is good. I actually don't know who has the better list between these two dudes. I think probably...
Starting point is 01:43:02 I think it's pretty clear. I don't want to belabor the point. We have a three-time, three-peat champion, Strider Wilson. Strider's top of the list. Let's go, baby. Most wins. I mean, look, you guys, this is my wheelhouse, baby. I'm honored.
Starting point is 01:43:17 I had to come in here and deliver. What was your list again? Apocalypse Now, Glory, Blackhawk Down, Patton, Last Samurai. And you did get a little funky at the end there you even put a little spice in it stay true to who i am dude i had to bend a little bit you know how to play with it a little bit um good draft guys that was a fun one yeah that was good chad's call let me talk up chad's list last weekend's great schindler's list is a great movie no one's denying. No one would ever deny that.
Starting point is 01:43:46 We all respect Jewish faith. And Liam Neeson. Because he'll come and get us. But then Full Metal Jacket, Hurt Locker, and Glorious Bastards. Dude! Glorious Bastards was still out there. Dude, you had the best list.
Starting point is 01:44:00 Besides Schindler's. Yeah. Besides Schindler's List, youindler's list You had the best list I should have picked Troy I think you could have Yeah I think Troy You win
Starting point is 01:44:10 If you go Inglourious Bastards 2 I don't think there's any way You lose this Yeah With the rest of the picks You made Even if you go Schindler's 5
Starting point is 01:44:17 Thank you That's my man But you went to your heart I hear you talk about Schindler's list all the time I know That's going to be such a You're going to do a clip What do you love about itindler's List all the time what do you love about it I

Good call, Chad. All right, you guys ready to kick off the next part? Yes, sir. Chad, who is your B for the week?
Starting point is 01:44:54 My B for the week is... Dude, Xbox? Okay, Call of Duty 2 is now out. I was playing Warzone 2 and just getting... I am just atrocious at it. And dude, just getting killed nonstop. But the thing I was excited about Warzone 2 is that they have proximity chat. But this is just very specific, but I like to go on Twitch sometimes just for fun to stream it and stuff.
Starting point is 01:45:23 But you can't in the stream hear the proximity chat I'm like what the fuck is the point of having proximity chat if the stream can't hear it you know so that's just my beef Xbox you got this error going on and you guys refuse to fix it I thought when Call of Duty came out you would fix it so that everyone can hear proximity chat. But right now, only I can hear it, which is fun, but everyone should be able to hear it. And I think it's a problem we need to fix right now because proximity chat is hilarious, dude. Dude, there's one guy I fucking dropped in.
Starting point is 01:46:00 We have pistols, you start off. This guy and I were like pointing guns at each other. He's like, don't do it, dude. I'm like, you don guy's this guy and i were like pointing guns at each other he's like don't do it dude i'm like you don't do it and we're just pointing guns at each other and we had basically we're like all right we slowly backed away that's awesome but then i you know i felt bad but i i just couldn't help it he's climbing up a ladder he's like i'm just gonna climb up here like and i shot him in the ass and he's like deep chad i'm gonna remember you bro dude that's real war dude that's a good beef based off the convo yeah it was really funny but that's my beef good beef strides who's your beef dude my beef is with anything being chap, dude. Chap lips, get out.

Starting point is 01:52:26 haven't been and you know since last spring but apparently it's just everything's declining but they're raising prices I'm like dude and I heard you had to pay twice like it was 200 bucks for the general admission ticket which is outrageous but then you had to pay an extra like 20 bucks if you wanted to ride the rides everyone wants to ride yeah and then dude yeah the fast pass thing kind of made it dude you want to have a good day at like disney for like two people maybe like and a kid it's like a thousand bucks for the day that's insane it's insane you're waiting in lines and shit yeah and then you have to the fact you have to pay more for it's just like but people like perceive eiger is like pitching a perfect game the first time he was
Starting point is 01:53:04 there like he revamped the company got marvel he got star wars he got pixar like he fucking beasted and i'm like should he leave well enough alone or do you think he's gonna do you think he's gonna crush but i i think he's the savior i mean i had some beef with how much he put marvel in there because i just feel like marvel and disney be separate. I agree. But I think, I don't know. I think he's just like a level-headed dude. You know, he came back in during COVID because he retired and then COVID happened and Bob Chapek's like, I'll do it. And then he's like, nah, dude.
Starting point is 01:53:37 And I think he did a pretty good job during COVID. I don't really remember. It would be pretty incredible if he beasts again. Yeah. I really like that guy. I think he's a beast. I have a theory. Yeah.g's bald eiger's got a full head of hair eiger's good looking i can see i can see that swaying you you know yeah because you do you have good hair you love hair dude yeah i'm like i'm like this guy well chat back i'll tell you this it doesn't look like the happiest man alive and if you're at the helm of disney you got to be a jolly dude right you know
Starting point is 01:54:05 bob eiger's up at 5 00 a.m on the ski machine just he's yeah exactly he's working out it's that classic thing too where he picked chapik as his successor yeah it's a little bit like teddy and taft where it's like you pick your successor but you're almost like did you pick the best possible successor did you you pick someone that you kind of... Felt superior to? Like, do you do a better job? Yeah, and I don't think he actually knew that. I don't think he's like an... I don't think these guys are ill-intentioned,
Starting point is 01:54:30 but I think like on some level, the successor is never going to live up to their expectations because they just expect them to do exactly what they did. Right. Who knows? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:41 So, Bob, thanks for coming back, dude. Let's go. Strides, who's your legend of the week dude my legend of the week's got to be our boy Joe P and his dank ass wife Brittany did let's go um they had a banger wedding out in the desert dude they gave me the honor of officiating these two guys right here were groomsmen dude just absolute fire dude I mean it was a bang and dude honestly all the boys just bring it on the dance floor dude at their after party that was prom themed what a genius call dude it was just dude child i'm

Starting point is 01:55:50 yes they did yeah dude that was such a fire time this is awesome when laffy taffy came on bro shake that left foot that's one of the best songs to freak dance it's such a good freak dance song it was funny deliver all of our significant others were asleep so we were freaking with each other dude dude I was doing this thing that was pretty fun you said dude I was like dude I had a thousand-yard stare my dude I was literally just would hug brothers on the dance when I wouldn't even dance it to come up like
Starting point is 01:56:22 we dance each other and just hug them and sit still dude we needed it we needed it chris who's your legend of the week uh i kind of got a double legend uh our mom and the other legend is elton john because she took us to the elton john show last night whoa that's awesome it was sick uh show last night whoa that's awesome it was it uh my mom her bf jt his gf me and becca that was a fucking sick time obviously elton john uh million hits so super fucking fun it's like a couple songs that i didn't know i'm like that's pretty good because you know turns out he's really good and he just kept, like most of the time
Starting point is 01:57:07 in between songs he would just get up and go, yeah, yeah, woo! And it was just, it was fun.
Starting point is 01:57:13 He's just a short little pudgy guy who fucking brings it and he could still sing and we just had a great time. It was an awesome anniversary gift from mom so thank you, I love you.
Starting point is 01:57:23 Dude, that's rad. Where was the venue? Dodger Stadium. Dodger Stadium. Whoa, a stadium venue whoa stadium guess what i was thinking about for three days before going there how the hell am i gonna get in and out of this place very true that's exactly right stressing that's when you know you're an adult dude we did okay we did pretty good we did pretty good how'd you do it uber there and then my brother was parked and got got a pass and then the line was long getting out but it wasn't too bad like 30 40 minutes to get out. I mean, that's the cost these events are disastrous like the the logistics
Starting point is 01:57:51 It's crazy. What's going on with Ticketmaster and Taylor Swift? Is this too sad? Oh, man I guess that could have been my beef that should have been the beef Yeah well it's like the same a previous beef of mine was Olivia Rodrigo where you had to sign up for like a fan club and to get A previous beef of mine was Olivia Rodrigo, where you had to sign up for a fan club to get maybe a chance at... You have to sign up to then get a chance to be in a raffle
Starting point is 01:58:09 to get the option to buy tickets. Yeah. And it feels like such a... And Taylor Swift was going to do the same thing. But it turns out Ticketmaster wasn't ready. Their servers weren't ready. And then it's so funny because she comes out and she's like, I asked them repeatedly,
Starting point is 01:58:23 can you handle this much track? I'm like, we got it, we got it. And they couldn't. And she's like, I asked them repeatedly, can you handle this much traffic? I'm like, we got it, we got it. And they couldn't. And she's like, I'm pissed at them. So it's so funny that she just was like, they fucked up. I told them that the Swifties were going to be out in force and that they needed to be ready and they weren't. But I don't know if it's better than just clicking at a certain time
Starting point is 01:58:40 because it's like, can't bots? If you're worried about bots, can't people just make bots of all these different accounts? And for Olivia Rodrigo, four of us did it and none of us got it. And it was like, it felt like in even more of a black box. Isn't the bots like these third party, like is vivid seats,
Starting point is 01:58:56 like buying them all and then selling them. Or, or I, I don't know. Maybe they are, but also like people could just do it and then just post them on these ones. Like, like, yeah. Like buy a fuckload of it and then just post them on these ones. Yeah, like buy a fuckload of them
Starting point is 01:59:07 and then put 300 tickets on StubHub. They got to prevent that shit from happening. I don't know how you do it, but that's crazy. Do Taylor Swift and Beyonce... Look, I'm going to really step in here. Do they have too much power? They've got a lot of power. The way they got these armies.
Starting point is 01:59:19 They have soldiers. I have a friend who had to deactivate her TikTok account because she went after Taylor Swift. And the Swifties came out and just like, you know, scared her. Yeah. And I said something, I didn't even say something bad. I said I liked Rihanna more than Beyonce. I got some angry messages from our three female listeners.
Starting point is 01:59:38 And they had me on my heels. I'm like, a lot of power comes a lot of responsibility. You got to be careful how you mobilize these armies. True. And it's like, look, it's comes a lot of responsibility. You got to be careful how you mobilize these armies. True. And it's like, look, it's art. It's subjective. You know what I mean? Like you're allowed to like whoever you want.
Starting point is 01:59:50 Yeah. They're like, they're heroes. Yeah. AOC was out on Twitter being like, we got to blow up Ticketmaster. It's just getting serious. Get Ticketmaster out, dude. Dude, my, my legend of the week is a, look, it's a complicated legend. Okay.
Starting point is 02:00:03 There's aspects of this person that I did not enjoy, but it's one of the most memorable car rides in my life. So I have to honor it in some way. And legend is just how we categorize these things. But I got picked up from LAX with an Uber. Dude, the fact that LAX makes you take a bus to the Uber pickup is humiliating. I get into the, I get into it. It was a yellow cab.
Starting point is 02:00:23 I get into a yellow cab. I make a joke about i don't know like uh some joke about stiffening them on pay but i'm clearly kidding he gets real sensitive about it i'm like oh i'm like sorry man i was just playing around he's like well the last guy i drove home from the airport just jumped out of the car and didn't pay me and then he brought up the race of that guy and started being racist towards those people i just was like in a open mood i was like hey dude you really shouldn't talk about people like that. It's like a little unfair. And I was like, you know, I know, I know you got your reasons, but like, come on. And then we just started talking about it.
Starting point is 02:00:52 And, uh, he was really open. And basically he was this guy in his sixties from Pakistan. He's lived in America for 30 years, two kids who went to UCI. He's very proud of him there. He's got a wife arranged marriage works. I think arranged marriage might be better honestly i hear a lot of good stories and then um we start talking and he's like he's like uh he's like yeah like i i got in trouble because these four young black dudes were like punching my car and i pulled a gun on him and he's like i almost had to go to jail for that i'm like whoa i'm like do you have a gun in the car right now he's like no i have a knife i'm not allowed to have a gun anymore whoa and then i go why aren't you allowed to have a gun in the car right now? He's like, no, I have a knife. I'm not allowed to have a gun anymore. Whoa. And then I go, why aren't you allowed to have a gun? And he's like, I'm like, he's like, because of that.
Starting point is 02:01:28 That's how we got into that story. And I'm like, dude, you got to be careful, man, because you're in these situations where, like, you feel like you're controlling the outcome because you got the gun, but it could escalate. You can end up shooting someone. He goes, I have. What?
Starting point is 02:01:38 He's in Miami getting a medical procedure. He's outside a bar. Some guy accuses him of looking at his girl. Uh, my driver... kind of backs down, but not really, like, talks back to the guy. Guy goes to get a crowbar. Instead of driving away, he goes into his car, pulls out a gun, and shoots the guy.
Starting point is 02:01:57 And then, uh... Where do you shoot him? In the leg. And I go, were you aiming for the leg? He goes, no, I missed. And then he laughed. He was trying to kill the guy. But then he tells me when he went to jail for that, just for a day, that the black guys looked out for him in prison because they were Muslim and he's Muslim.
Starting point is 02:02:13 And I was like, well, oh, well, those are cool guys. And then he was like, he's like, nah, it's just a religious thing. And then we keep talking and I'm like, dude, maybe you need to get Medicaid. He's like, yeah, that's what one guy I drive says. Like, it could chill me out. And he's like, I just obsess over it. Like, if I ever back down, I just obsess on it for weeks. Like, he's like, I, maybe you need to get Medicaid. He's like, yeah, that's what one guy I drive says. Like, it could chill me out. And he's like, I just obsess over it.
Starting point is 02:02:26 Like, if I ever back down, I just obsess on it for weeks. Like, he's like, I was in line the other day, and this kid kind of punked me. And like, I haven't been able to let it go. Like, I should have done something back to the guy. And I was like, and he says his kids worry about him, and they tell him to chill out, and they don't want him to be racist. And then I was like, well, you should tell your son you back down, because I think he would be really proud of you for doing that.
Starting point is 02:02:42 He's like, no, I don't want to bother him. And then I was like, no, like, like tell him that because you'll get the reinforcement you need and then uh he dropped me off in my girlfriend's house and i was so regretful i gave her address exactly bro so but so to be nice i was like dude give me your card i'll call you sometime shook his hand and he showed me his knife it was a big fucking knife dude but uh yeah just wall to wall the most dynamic cab ride i've ever been in that's awesome that's pretty wild that's a great story it was wild i think he was at a bar the night before his medical procedure yeah he got his liver replaced
Starting point is 02:03:14 he's pretty hilarious i go he's in his 60s i don't know how he still got this much t in him but i go he goes you know i think maybe my friend told me when you take someone else's organ you take on their personality he's like so maybe i got the liver from a really angry person amazing i was like perhaps dude um yeah all right chad who's your what's your quote of the week uh my quote of the week comes from troy let's go uh you let him go my lord it's too early in the morning for killing princess i like that one right str lord it's too early in the morning for killing princes i like that one great let's try to what's your quote of the week my quote okay i do yeah go go home prince actor have some have some wine make love to your wife tomorrow we'll have our war
