Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is an ad by BetterHelp. What are your self-care non-negotiables? It's hard to make time for the things that keep you healthy, but being consistent with self-care is like working a muscle. And when life gets crazy, that muscle keeps you strong. Therapy is the ultimate self-care, and BetterHelp makes it easy to get started
Starting point is 00:00:29 with affordable online sessions you can do from anywhere. Never skip therapy day with BetterHelp. Visit BetterHelp.com to learn more. That's BetterH-E-L-P.com. I'm on alert. Very similar. It surprises me that that's me. That that's actually you? I, uh, cause I guess the acoustics, it, it sounds like it's ripped from a movie.
Starting point is 00:01:04 It did. You were, I, I. I was surprised that you thought that, but then now that I hear it like back a few times. Put the town on alert. I can see where you think, especially like going in the back. It sounds like the movie. Yeah. No, I thought the first couple of times we played it, I thought it was ripped from the movie. That's a great impression if you fool yourself. Do you have a side by side of that? No. So he had dropped it it in a Slack channel or something.
Starting point is 00:01:27 And I was like, oh, OK, I'm going to throw it on Tony show because I knew he was going to be here. And then he was so excited to hear it. But I thought you were excited because you were just hearing yourself. Yeah, I can understand why you would think that. And then later, you're like, oh, wait, that's me? And I'm like, yeah, bro, this is you.
Starting point is 00:01:41 Put the town on alert. And then it was, now that's an actor. Look at that. The performance is so good that I myself have detached from it. And I get to sit back and enjoy it as if it were foreign to me. But now we have to do the test of like, we got to show people. See, like listen to the original cut. It is eerily similar.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Like I can see how you. It's a limited fake because if you like, you can't expect things going to blow. Yeah. It's, it's tougher to make it good, but just that one part, because if you watch Dante's Peak, and I hope to one day do this Cinephobe episode, he really hammers this point home. Like, look, after this whole thing happens someone's gonna be asked why this sound wasn't gonna be put on alert but he has so many different like cadence of it too he like rocks around like John and I'm telling you you have
Starting point is 00:02:31 to put this town on alert yeah like it's definitely his go-to in the movie I miss this era of two movies coming out about the same topic at the same time right Dante's peak of volcano deep impact in Armageddon observing report and Paul Blart Mall Cop we need more of that two movies being made at the same time about the same kind of topic didn't know didn't know day after tomorrow have a similar disaster movie at the same time it was like day after tomorrow and 2012 maybe that's all the long ass movie. Not good. John Cusack driving a limo like it's an F1 car. I loved it.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Day After Tomorrow was the one with Gyllenhaal. Yeah and Quaid. Quaid where they had no idea. I saw that interview where they had no idea that they were actually in that movie together and they were actually father and son in it. I saw bits and pieces of that on AMC and wow that movie does not hold up that's a bad it's a bad movie I remember the the stalking frost but that would just follow Jill at hall and he gets a little bit on him he's still watching if it's on I'm watching by the way fire title that's a day after tomorrow sinopoe top 5 ct5 title there day after tomorrow yeah much better than the old title of two days from now that's like you know that they changed the they
Starting point is 00:03:50 actually wanted to do 48 hours but it was taken thank you going I like you guys know the edge of tomorrow like the movie change title yes yes and we actually covered this it's not the first time it's happened to a Tom Cruise vehicle yeah they've changed the title retroactively to Mission Impossible dead reckoning part one And that's what is it then bang or two by the way? Yeah, is it now? It's just Mission Impossible dead reckoning no part one. Thank God So we're gonna get a new title for part two the original working title my personal favorite Mission Impossible part seven part one But what you're saying about Edge of Tomorrow,
Starting point is 00:04:25 it was called Live Die Repeat, right? Then it was called Edge of Tomorrow. And then it had another, didn't it have three? No, it's Live Die Repeat. It was the original. Yo, Live Die Repeat, dumb name. Edge of Tomorrow, that's cool as shit. What is the Edge of Tomorrow?
Starting point is 00:04:36 Isn't it just 11.59 PM? Just words. You know me, it sounds cool. Just words. Put the town on alert. Put the town on alert. Put the town on alert. Me and Zach Harper had a Mad Dog radio show once a week that was at like 10, it was like either 10 to 1
Starting point is 00:04:54 or 11 to 2 AM. And we wanted to call it Edge of Tomorrow. And they blocked us from doing it. We were like, oh, come on, man. It's like the coolest name ever for a show. I like that. Now it's Liv, oh, come on, man. It's like the coolest name ever for a show. I like that. Now it's Livpod Repeat. Not bad, actually.
Starting point is 00:05:09 No, it's pretty bad. It's pretty funny. Yeah, but that was LivDieRepeat was the marketing tagline. Yes. And they realized, wow, that looks good on a poster. And if you see the Edge of Tomorrow DVD cover, it's essentially been renamed. And it's just LivDieRe just live die repeat I think they've
Starting point is 00:05:26 been talking about a sequel and 62 it's a banger of a sci-fi movie it's really perfect movie yeah and it's it has like comedy elements as everything when I get out of this recent 90s kick maybe 15 years from now and I get around to like the you know 2009 2010 turn of the decade. There are some bangers in there too. Yeah. We have an older crew today. So like I was always going to ask, what's that like nineties comfort movie for you? Cause I have, I have two that are bad. They're just terrible. Sandlot, Mrs. Doubtfire.
Starting point is 00:05:59 But those are, those are rated good. I'm talking about rated bad. Oh bad. Nineties. You already know about this. We had you on the rewatch for it. Oh, can't hardly wait. Can't hardly wait, man. I could watch that movie. That's not a bad movie. According to Rotten Tomatoes.
Starting point is 00:06:11 According to Rotten Tomatoes, yeah. Well, they got that one wrong. That was better off dead rated. Better off dead. What was that? That was? John Cusack also. Is that in the 90s or later?
Starting point is 00:06:20 It might have been 80s. I don't know. My comfort movies are in the 2000s, to be honest. Devil Wears Prada. Actually, you know what? One of them goes really far back. Better off dead. Sometimes I throw My Fair Lady on the TV.
Starting point is 00:06:31 What? What decade is that? There's some circumstantial evidence. What vibe do you have to watch that? Is that 70s? What is that? I don't know what kind of vibe I have to be. If I wanna sing a little bit, probably that.
Starting point is 00:06:43 But I don't wanna get into of vibe I have to be if I want to sing a little bit probably that but I risk getting into the Hamilton situation The lies of Minnelli vehicles you want to share with us no just Audrey Hepburn. What are you hiding? I've pieced together some circumstantial evidence during the show today talking about I I missed When we're talking about people doing things to impress people, every time Izzy does this, I usually have this running bit of when he says, yeah, my partner, and they're like, you're gay? I just.
Starting point is 00:07:14 It's a great joke. It's a great joke. It's a great joke. I don't think Dan likes that joke. I forgot, I completely forgot. Then I remembered during the very, very somber Billy Beane I should have dropped it at the end, you should have. I was like, I don't know if this is the right time.
Starting point is 00:07:31 I felt like doing it there, but I gave no, it's a dangerous joke. When he said My Fair Lady, I almost went there, wait a second, what's going on? Better Off Dead, not Cinephobe eligible, unfortunately. Of course. That's a very highly rated movie. Yeah, and actually it's from 1985. Oh, man, get out of here.
Starting point is 00:07:47 You guys got to join me. Join me in the 90s, man. I'm telling you. I'm just, it's like a random, like the first, I saw Jumanji a couple of weeks ago. Yeah. It's just like the first movie that pops in my head. Father of the Bride.
Starting point is 00:07:58 That's, let's do it. Fire it up. Fankers. Virtuosity. Fire it up. Virtuosity. Father of the Bride 2. Yeah, which I like better to be honest. What was that?
Starting point is 00:08:08 George you son of a gun. I know you have a, you have a cinephobe episode on Virtuosity. This isn't going to help with the accusations, but the birdcage of the 1996 agreement. I love the birdcage though. Hackman, Hackman for your run, Heter. Is there anybody in the movie that's bad besides the son who I hate? Yeah, whatever happened to him. I don't know, but I want to uppercut him every time he's on screen.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Like, how can you ask your father to hide your whole life? Who was he in the hangover? The one that didn't get any camera time. Oh. No, Justin Bertha? No, it wasn't Justin Bertha. No, it wasn't? No.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Well, you white, then you Ben Affleck. He's right, you are white. It's a great 2000's movie. I've got one for you guys. Passenger 57. I haven't seen it in a while. I haven't seen it in a long time. So I listen back to the rewatchables episode.
Starting point is 00:08:55 I'm not a huge fan of that pod, but anytime that I'm currently fixated on a movie, I'll listen to them so it's fresh in the mind. And I listen to one about Crimson Tide because I've been obsessed with this movie. Tony, have you completed the rewatch? Hunter has now been named XO. So I'm still in the first like 20 minutes of the movie, but very exciting.
Starting point is 00:09:13 You're watching a movie like it's a series, right? Little 25 minute segments. Yeah, the thing is we've been moving. So like I had to like really balance out my time to make sure I can watch and play video games when my wife's not home, because then she's gonna see me playing video games or watching something. She's gonna be like, we have's going to see me playing video games or watching something.
Starting point is 00:09:25 She'd be like, we have a lot to do. So you gotta stop doing that. So like when she's not there, I'll watch 25 minutes of a movie, play a game and see if B you know, that was my intention, but with Crimson Tide, but it was so good. I just stayed in rod dog did to like 1 15 AM. I had to go to work the next morning. But the rewatchable thing, it, it, you, you mentioned passenger 57, which is, they invoke Wesley Snipes because Wesley Snipes and Denzel were going for a bunch of the same
Starting point is 00:09:50 roles at the same time. And after Philadelphia, Denzel made the decision, you know what? He checked time. I'm going to go for biggest movie star on the planet and I'm going to take these roles that can get me there. Crimson Tide being one of them, but he had a big swing with Virtuosity and it was a miss. But Passenger 57, the reason why was Denzel wasn't really getting into action movies. Wesley had that on. Forrest Gump. You know, it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Love it. Too highly rated though. Yeah, way too high. It's gotta be bad. I thought it was just Comfort movie. The years haven't been kind to Forrest Gump. People have convinced themselves that Forrest Gump is a bad movie and I'm not with that at all. No. Yeah, I went out with a film person I did she's like I hate that
Starting point is 00:10:32 I saw that tweet seven years ago, too You don't have to make your identity forest come as bad as a good watch topic thunder I got one that you might have never well well, maybe you, the craft. Oh yeah. Come on. The witches. It's set in a good one too. That was every girl I went to high school with. Oh God, I wanted to be a witch so bad.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Every girl I wanted to go out with. I wanted to lift a girl up with my fingers so bad. I was like, I can do it. I can do it. Go. Good to say something? Hey, yo. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:11:01 So the craft came out in the late 90s, I want to say. I think that set up the whole like. 96. So the whole emo aesthetic for girls, like in the early 2000s, I feel came from that movie. Clueless. Yes. Yeah, that and Clueless, I think you meld them together.
Starting point is 00:11:12 And it's two different. That's a good one, Bob. You were either the goth girl or you were like the popular chick. Correct, the preppy look. Yeah. But no, like mine would be like Major League II. That's terrible. It's terrible, but I like watching it.
Starting point is 00:11:26 And Street Fighter, the John Claude Van Damme. That was... Kylie Minogue. Yeah, but the funniest thing is like, he's supposed to be guile, super American, and then the Belgian accent is just so heavy. Yeah, I think I actually... Can we play a scene from that? I have it on my phone.
Starting point is 00:11:40 I literally do. I'm going to get in my boat. I'm going to get in my boat. I'm gonna get in my boat Yeah, kick bison's ass that son of a bitch I'm like this guy is not from the Midwest. That's not how they sound out there Terminator 2. That's a great Tony's never Tony's never seen what I started watching Terminator 1. No I'm not surprising Fuentes and certainly not a mean, you know who was supposed to be, well there was a casting decision made by James Cameron. And there's, you probably can see this video on IG Reels where he explains it, but it was a big
Starting point is 00:12:18 piece of trivia. The Terminator was supposed to be either Arnold Schwarzenegger or someone else. And the reason why they didn't pick the other person, former athlete, was because they had a hard time envisioning the audience believing this person could be a murderer, a killer. That former athlete? OJ. OJ Sands.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Wow. I thought once, I thought you knew this. Tony put together the context clues. Once the killer came, I was gonna say Brian Bosworth, which would have been the front two. Tony put together the puzzle He was like a murderer 90s. Oh, no, it isn't the Nordy report thing going on By the way, speaking of Terminator. This is a 2000 movie, but I will go to my grave It was the best Terminator movie Terminator salvation
Starting point is 00:13:03 What Christian Bale? That's the one where he has the meltdown. You can't have a viral aspect of that movie outshine the actual movie. Oh, good for you! Yeah! Oh my god, the family guy bit that, they did off of that.
Starting point is 00:13:15 So good, oh, a num-a-num fell over there when I was just going over there to get it. So good. I'm not in the scene if you're doing that. Yeah. But it also shows you like why Bale's so good because he doesn't break that accent. It kind of leaks out when he yells but he's like he's method that way. If you ever watch the DVD extras on certain films of like the early mid-2000s they
Starting point is 00:13:37 interview him about these movies that he's doing. You're like where the hell did this guy's accent go? Yeah you never would have thought he's from Liverpool. You guys, you guys seen Gen V? Yes. Play of the boys or whatever's been off on the boys? Yeah. Patrick Schwarzenegger, Arnold's son. Yep.
Starting point is 00:13:52 A smoke show. Yeah. Really? Yes. That man's got a future. A total beefcake. Yes. Looks nothing like his father.
Starting point is 00:13:58 I was shocked when I found out he was the main character. He's got the little beady eyes, the same little beady eyes. And a similar jawline. Yeah. And general build. Yeah, you can see it. You see it. But his is it after. It wasn't the first thing.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Half of him is Arnold. He's a hot cake. It's in there somewhere. But his love child looks more than like Arnold. Oh, his love child is Mexican Arnold. Adnaldo. I knew that he looked like him, but when I saw him in the Arnold documentary,
Starting point is 00:14:24 I was like, yo, I can't believe he ever tried to lie about that Taco Tuesday in Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice. LeBron Taco Tuesday? Yes. Taco Tuesday. Yeah. It's Taco Tuesday. Can you do it as Pierce Brosnan, Mike? What?
Starting point is 00:14:53 No. Didn't we already cover that all I can do is put a town on a lot? And maybe go, the stone's going to blow. Put the town on a lot. I still got to watch Dante's week. If you want to talk about bad accents in a movie, they never even address what the hell's going on alert. I still gotta watch Dante's week. If you wanna talk about bad accents in a movie, they never even address what the hell's going on there. It's almost as if they may have done some exposition
Starting point is 00:15:10 and then cut it out because we can't, this guy's not American. We can't do it. No, we would just, it'll exist and maybe he's an intellectual. What's his character? You know, there's that accent that actors put on in Troy where, what accent is this?
Starting point is 00:15:24 Because that ain't Greek. Like Roman or Greek or whatever. Yeah, now you know who you're fighting. actors put on in like Troy where what accent is this? Cause that ain't Roman. Like what is it? Like Greek or whatever. Now you know who you're fighting. And it's a voice that everyone instinctually puts on when they're doing like a period piece. No one actually talks like this.
Starting point is 00:15:35 I always wondered about this, like in early America, right? Like Hamilton or whatever. Shouldn't everybody have British accents? They should all, what is the American accent? That was developed over time. Everybody for at least 50 years, we should all have had British accents? What is the American accent? That was developed over time. Everybody for at least 50 years, we should all have had British accents. That's true, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:48 So they landed in America in the 16s, 1500s, so we had some time to get talked out. But I do love Izzy's version where it's like, everyone's like, we the people shall not appear to tyranny. And then some guy comes in, hey guys, are we going to fuck up these Brits or what? What if Teeve kind of screwed up the accent, I assume.
Starting point is 00:16:06 That's true. A little bit. I always think, like, man, everybody must have smelled like absolute dog shit. I always think about that. Jesus. Wooden teeth are funny. Nostrils.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Wooden teeth are always funny. Okay, so he must have done, like, a majority of his breeding pre-wooden teeth, right? No, man. Like, George, you think he was getting it in after? Yeah. Yes. Oh, yeah. I just came to present you, I guess. Do you know who I am. Yeah, right like he was taking a look at the dollar buddy
Starting point is 00:16:31 That's not how that won't work you think Martha was taking care of this come on man go under this chair So they made Mount Vernon for us So I mean accents can go away pretty quickly like one week with my my brother-in-law and I just come back with a drawl Layla again That's the most annoying thing if I'm somewhere with a bunch of accents for too long. I It's the worst like when when my my parents used to live in France. And so my English all of a sudden had this kind of lilting tone to it. And I'm like, why am I talking like this?
Starting point is 00:17:11 Ah, it's the French people, I gotta get out of here. And vocabulary definitely gets it back. No, and mannerisms and stuff. You hang out here long enough, you'll be saying bro and man all the time. Oh yeah, because only Miami says bro. You exchange enough emails with people that work in the UK and we'll use holiday.
Starting point is 00:17:24 It's bro with an accent. Yeah, you know. When you hear it, you know. Bro. Bro. I watched enough Below Deck where I started saying bruv. Oh my god, me too. That's when I'll shout out to the Africans on Below Deck.
Starting point is 00:17:34 I did a bunch of boxing days with Chelsea, and I was just telling people, happy Christmas. I was like, who are you, man? Lean in. Over here, you're what they think an English accent is in the States. You're special. Don't conform. You're the man over here, you're what they think an English accent is in the States. Like you're special, don't conform. You're the man over here.
Starting point is 00:17:48 We actually have accents. It's not clear to us here, but my wife has an accent. My wife's Greek and white and like, but she goes like to the Carolinas. Everyone's like, you talk funny. Yeah. Back to Mike's point about Dante's peak, they did give Pierce Brosnan's character
Starting point is 00:18:03 a very Western name, could have been from anywhere, Harry Dalton. Yeah. That guy could be from literally anywhere. Harold. Yeah, exactly. Should have been different. What a Harry's peak. Oh.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Well, no, it shouldn't have. Yeah, that would have been weird. I was watching GoldenEye with Pierce Brosnan. Ooh, yeah. Got halfway through and I was like, huh. It's not that good. GoldenEye, the rare video game was better than the movie yeah that never happened I remember playing the video games a kid and then I and then I was like never seen it so I'm
Starting point is 00:18:30 gonna watch it only and then I looked at it I was like uh slappers only or big head paintball mode yeah got Lord Lord Lord stock running around being the bad guy I was the Tom Brady of hanging out in that vent and I'm first got the silencer I'm gonna shoot that hat off you're not not gonna know it. You're just gonna stay on that toilet. Hat's gonna fly off of you. You mean the very first mission right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. How do you not see this hat?
Starting point is 00:18:52 It's because I have the silencer on. Well, of course. Does that peripheral vision? Not anymore. You could probably do a full episode on just stuff in movies that isn't really real. Silencers don't work like that. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:04 No, the best one. What if you get a pillow over it? I've seen that one happen. Or the potato. Potato gun, yeah. The best version of that, like this isn't real at all, but everyone thinks it is, is from National Treasure Book of Secrets,
Starting point is 00:19:16 where they had this whole story about how Alexander Hamilton did whatever, whatever, and it's like completely made up. But people took it and ran with it and thought it was real. I think that's one of my favorite trivias that I ever learned from doing a movie for Cinephobe. Are you excited for the National Treasure script? It's long since been rumored. Yeah. And they tried a series that didn't have Nick Cage in it. I don't know. I didn't care to
Starting point is 00:19:37 even give it the time of day because I'm like, Nick Cage isn't Nick Cage anymore? I don't... It's crazy because I'm not a fan of, so they did this also for Mighty Ducks, they did a Mighty Ducks series, a series spin-off of a movie series I'm not so crazy about. Although, That ever worked.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Showed my, well, Cobra Kai. Cobra Kai, yeah. Showed my kids the original Karate Kid movie, they'd never watched it, this was last weekend, and afterwards they were like, well, what's Cobra Kai about? And I said, well, Cobra Kai basically is like 30 years later.
Starting point is 00:20:10 And so we watched the trailer. Now my kids want to watch Cobra Kai. And I'm like, oh, OK. Cobra Kai season one was excellent. I heard it's falling off a little. It's a lot. I get what they did. They did a pivot to let's make it a little bit sillier,
Starting point is 00:20:24 a little bit more soap opera, more slapstick, more just same kind of gags over and over again. Season one was legitimately dramatic and it was like I had you rooting for Johnny and Miguel. Basically, as you were looking at Daniel Laruse, you were the asshole. You were the reason why. That's the main reason it hit for me
Starting point is 00:20:44 because you're flipping flipping the story. I'm just like, wait a second. You can do that with any movie, really? And if you just hear the points of the other people and just be like, oh, wow, maybe you weren't such a jerk. Maybe the other guy was more of a jerk. But after that, I didn't ask for any more Cobra Kai. They're kind of doing this with Star Wars now, I feel.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Where like the four? With the acolyte? No, just, yeah, the Jedi were like, they're always good, and they can never do wrong, and they're the good guys And now it's like oh, there's some dark shit going on here like that They don't want to prove so wicked is probably the best example that's right like which I've never seen But I'm excited for the movie to come out so I can find looks amazing. I'm not I learned my lesson from Hamilton I ain't going to no more fucking Broadway shows
Starting point is 00:21:21 Movie I'll watch the movie Like Sam Alton now it's so good fucking Broadway shows. Make it into a movie, I'll watch the movie. Your wife and daughter likes Hamilton now. It's so good. You're off IMAX too, right? It's so good. IMAX, get the fuck out of here. I don't need it. It's all a ploy for the movie industry to save itself.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Look, I understand. How dare they? $40 tickets, so is this thing. $40 tickets, so me to watch this thing? It's too much shit. Where am I looking at? You don't want to feel the seat moving? No, no, no. That's 40X. That's 40X. I'm telling you right now. It's too much shit. Where am I? You don't want to feel the seat moving?
Starting point is 00:21:45 No, no, no. That's 4DX though. I'm telling you right now. It'll make a movie better, but if you want to, like, for Deadpool and Wolverine, I'm like, I don't want to do 4DX for that. I saw it by the way. Did you like it? It's fun. People have their opinions, like, nothing matters anymore, and I was kind of like that. And also, like, don't fall for this trick. They're just trying to get you a cheap cameos. I'm like, it kind of worked for me. But they've, I haven't seen it.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Plus he snipes walks in his blade and I'm like, hell yeah. Okay, it's broken. No, they've ruined it on social media. I haven't, I haven't. I haven't. I haven't ruined for me. What, you haven't seen it? You knew that.
Starting point is 00:22:16 I did not know that. You haven't seen the stills? I haven't seen anything. I haven't seen it, I'm seeing it this weekend. He's in it. Thanks. But, thank you. As blade.
Starting point is 00:22:24 But like the idea is that they. Came out a month it. Thanks. But, thank you. Asplendent. But like, the idea is that they- Came out a month ago. I give them, well, you know. No, it didn't. It was like two weeks ago. No, but like, they, I guess like, once he hit the two week period, like, Ryan Reynolds is just spoiling away.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Ryan Reynolds going ham on Instagram. I'm not on- We're finding spoilers of who the Deadpools are. But yo, you know what my Instagram algorithm looks like. It does not look like Deadpool versus Wolverine. I As a mean now knows is very weird and I would classify it as dinner for schmucks. Yes. I Just keep trying to top the person Sending a means what mine is dinner for fucks
Starting point is 00:23:01 Mine is dinner for fucks. That's a good way to put it. I figured. That's a good way to put it. But, say that's all that to say, the Deadpool franchise has always been that, even before this was a thing. So, they get licensed to me to do whatever kind of, you know, breaking the fourth wall self-referential stuff because that's what it's always been about. It's not like all this multiburst shit that everyone's doing now.
Starting point is 00:23:23 But it is getting into that. So like if if like it works because it was always siloed So now if it's going to be in a world of consequence You have this person breaking the fourth wall in a place where consequences at one point matter now They don't because you know the multiverse you guys talked about the whole Robert Downey jr. Is dr. Doom thing No, I've been wanting to get into it because... Yeah. We can talk about it here. Yeah, I felt some kind of way. All right. So, I went into Deadpool and Wolverine with a hope and expectation that this would kind of reset the multiverse thing because it's gotten out of hand. And then I left it. I'm like, that didn't exactly do what I hoped it would, but it laid the
Starting point is 00:24:03 foundation potentially for doing that. And then almost immediately, I saw the Robert Downey Jr. casting thing. I'm like, wait a second, now we're back in like crazy town. This is not, this is not good. So I kind of like shat on it initially. And now I'm like, relax, Mike, there's bigger things. Like just have fun.
Starting point is 00:24:19 I like that take though. Just chill, have chill. Why do you have to, you don't have to have an opinion on everything. Like just. It just, it's kind of crazy I see them I'm trying to talk to Danny because I want this conversation to run over because like it could be a bigger conversation and then all of a sudden I hear hey Mike you have to pay around the can you hear me I'm like I talk you get
Starting point is 00:24:42 to know them yes I can well in that I see your mouth's moving, and no sound can surprise me at this point. I think I have you pegged. OK. Can I mention real quick? I had a bit of an uptick. I was waiting for Izzy to do it. And then for me to go, you're gay!
Starting point is 00:24:59 Pegging isn't even a gay thing. There was this moment in the show earlier in the week where it was just kind of a life. That could be this moment in the show earlier in the week where it was just kind of a life. That could be the title of the episode. Hell yeah. Packing is a gay thing. You're on Mr. K, we do numbers.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Yeah, I know. No, I didn't know. I created the show, bud. Now on YouTube. What? You created the show? On YouTube, I started putting titles for search engine optimization.
Starting point is 00:25:20 I know, it's a joke. You know how people wonder how Dan, this is back then, because he was trimmed down a lot, but how Dan with all those food allergies could actually be heavy. There was something that he said on the show the other day that just kind of turned the light on. He was talking about being at an airport
Starting point is 00:25:37 and he called the moving walkways a treadmill. Yes. And I don't think he knows how treadmills work. They're supposed to work against. And I believe he's just been walking on the airport walkways his entire life. Calling it exercise. Either that or Dan's been on the treadmill at the gym,
Starting point is 00:25:52 but going the wrong way. Yeah, it turns around and he's like, oh, this is pretty easy. Folks, a lot has changed. We're at a new studio. My daughter's six years old, my father's turning 70, but you know one thing that hasn't changed?
Starting point is 00:26:08 The great taste of Miller Lite. Another thing that hasn't changed? That it's less filling. So what is the best thing about the original Light beer? Miller Lite sparked this debate in 1975, and we still haven't settled it. I was just talking to my dad yesterday about how much I love drinking Miller Lite

It's presented by DraftKings stay tuned because you hear more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show DraftKings the crown is yours so it's um NFL futures. You can get a sexy segment if you want. You betcha. This is organic are we actually doing sports here? That was not a part of the show that I created.
Starting point is 00:28:27 It's very light. It's very light. And so it's NFL futures season, right? And I found one on DraftKings Sportsbook and it's how many out of the Eagles, Bears, Patriots, Commanders, and Jets will make the 2024-25 NFL playoffs? Eagles, Bears, Patriots, Commanders, Jets. Eagles, Bears, Patriots, Commanders, J commanders jets over two and a half is the number of teams So we're gonna talk it through right now because the Patriots definitely going no Patriots suck So commies are not good the commies and the Eagles are working that the commies and the Eagles are working against each other So these are five teams in total. Yes five teams in total Eagles commies bears patched. Yes, two and a half is a number
Starting point is 00:29:02 I'm gonna go no no Patriots obviously, right? I'd say Eagles Eagles for sure making it. It's based. I don't know man Yeah, I have those teams though bad vibes Yeah Those teams the coach and the quarterback aren't getting there getting along same thing with the Jets They kind of feel it kind of felt like towards the end Elias here. They'd been figured out I was gonna say Jalen hurts feels like he's been figured out Well, I don't think it's so much hurtsts as it is like, like the whole thing about his
Starting point is 00:29:26 innovation to unlock Jalen Hurts and they made it to a Super Bowl and they almost won the damn thing was we're gonna go quick. He's gonna be super, he's gonna be the most decisive guy and if it's not their run. Yeah. And we're, we're just going to catch everybody by surprise, but there were pretty smart guys that craft defenses and schemes around these. So with an entire off season, they were like, okay, we'll check you on this now. Now we know how do you adjust quarterback and coach?
Starting point is 00:29:52 They failed the test. Well, how, how big was Shane Stiken in that going quick and helping Jalen hurts? Because now the thing is he's gone and now it's Sirianni like, Oh, you're this genius. And I was like, Oh, wait a second. No, maybe, maybe it was, it is funny how like Sirianni became a genius when we have to remember his introductory press conference. And that was not the narrative around that. Great coordinators that both became coaches afterward.
Starting point is 00:30:13 But also, think about their division too, right? They're going to be fighting against the commies, the giants. I think that division could be terrible or they could be great. You never really know. So my hot take is that the Eagles don't make the playoffs. So now you're down to. It's hard to pick. I think it's two teams. So I I'm under I think it's Jets and I'm bullish on the Bears But the Jets have a tough division to run division
Starting point is 00:30:31 The Jets have the Dolphins and the and the and the Bills and not really do you get a lot three teams from one division making The playoffs it has happened obviously, but not all the time the same thing in the NFC North We got the Packers who people are talking about going to the Super Bowl Lions who are a couple plays away from being in the Super Bowl, and now the Bears. And the Bears still have to deal with teams. My caveat is I'm counting on Caleb Williams to be good. I think he's going to enter the league and he's going to be good. They got him some weapons. I think that team can compete and the Lions would suggest, the early Lions on their season would suggest that that's the expectation from these
Starting point is 00:31:03 sports books. Is that a Hard Rock? uh, hard rock, is that a, is that a hard knocks bump though, that everybody starts believing in the team? Like the Lions kind of had it last year. It's like, Oh wow, the lions are actually really, and then they have a really good season. I'm happy to apply that context because I'm just learning that the Bears were on hard knocks or at least at the very least being reminded of that my caveat is I Think Washington can have a good team. I was gonna say and if if Jaden Daniels Can replicate what he did in the pros? Is an absolute lock to win the division one of those two teams gonna win it because it's not the Giants, right?
Starting point is 00:31:41 So one of those two teams if Dallas disappoints is definitely gonna make the play Yeah, keep an eye on the cow. It just feels like Washington has so many holes both now and in November I feel out of all these teams The only one I have the most faith in is probably the Eagles because I feel Aaron Rogers project might just fall flat on its Face they can make a wild card. They can make a wild card, but I think we're all agreed that under is the play here Under two and a half. Yes, just don't show me the rest of the teams in the league, because then I'll be convinced that nobody's going to hang. Exactly. No, these guys suck.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Get these guys out of here. Well, under two and a half, then, is where we're taking for the season. That's you betcha right there. What was the odds on that? You betcha. Minus 250. Is that something that I can actually take on the Draft
Starting point is 00:32:14 King sports book app? It is. Minus 250. Where I found it. Minus 250? Minus 250. I put my first future bet. If you have faith in the Bears, Eagles, and Jets, then more power to you.
Starting point is 00:32:26 I think that's a pretty good bet for them to put out there. It's pretty smart because it's tricky. I think most people are banking on the Eagles and I think nationally there should be more questions being asked of what's going on in Philadelphia. You can absolutely rule out, and that's the Patriots. Yeah, that's true. They're bad 9.5 point dogs. Did you see what they were gonna offer? I you can he's like, yeah, no, I'm good
Starting point is 00:32:51 32 million dollars a year and he's like You can't pay me and I got a drive to Gillette. No, thanks. You cannot pay me enough. That's a tough drive You know who keeps getting bet on I'm nice. I'm along by Hollywood. I don't know how he does it Yeah, his fans I guess and like I know he's like the master of like this I make make a twist ending horror film. Is that his thing? But I mean, kind of. Yeah. That's not his only thing, putting himself in his movies. Oh yeah. To be fair, it's Hitchcock. I also heard that he like regretted heavily putting himself in, um, what's the one with the CIT dead people? Sixth Sense. Sixth Sense. He regretted casting himself. Why? It was, no one knew who he was really at the time. And he played a speaking role as a doctor. Now everyone's doing the DiCaprio thing when he shows up like Dirty.
Starting point is 00:33:31 I also recently saw Old, which is one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life. Is that the one on the beach where they all turn old? Yes. And that's a- Haven't seen that one. Legitimately, Ameen's no longer with us. I would never do it. No, he's with us. He's alive. He's just not in the room anymore. No, he's with us. He's not in the room anymore. He went to that beach. Vacation with the sky. If they did a Cinephobe episode on that one, first hand in the air, not it. I never want to see that
Starting point is 00:33:52 movie ever again. So I always thought it was a cool concept. And then right when the movie starts, I'm like, wow, this acting is terrible. I'm going to sit through this for another two hours. And it has my man from Hereditary in it. And usually he makes good choices. And I had just seen Cabin of the Woods. For some reason I've been on this unexpected Shyamalan thing, but I saw Cabin in the Woods. Is that the one where they're in the Cabin in the Woods? Yes. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Wait, no. That's one Bautista. That's a Shyamalan. That's the cult one, right? Wait, no. Isn't there another movie that's Cabin in the Woods? That's what I was thinking. It's the village. Yes. Well, there's Cabin in the Woods, which is a horror film, yes, called Cabin in the Woods. I'm thinking the one I'm trying to tell you is... It's like you is I saw the movie they but they changed the title on this one, too
Starting point is 00:34:29 Yeah, it was called knock at the cabin Yeah It was like a knock cabin at the end of the world or something like that And then they changed because it has to do with the end of the world moving into different cabins Yeah, that's why I asked if it was the one in the cabin in the woods. The woods is a great movie. Yeah inspired Yeah, anything good ever happen in a cabin any it was the one in the cabin in the woods. Cabin in the woods is a great movie. Yeah. Inspired. Yeah. Anything good ever happen in a cabin? Any of these movies? In the movies?
Starting point is 00:34:48 No, can't think of any. Abraham Lincoln do something in a cabin. He was built to be a warlord. He hunted vampires. Ah, that's right. Oh, vampires. You high schoolers with your parents out of town go into this lake house.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Stop having sex. Yeah. Just don't have sex. You know what's going to happen? Fornication is the problem. And all of a sudden, yeah, the hockey playing zombie comes out, you know, but, um, old was terrible. Yeah. It was a real bad movie. Yeah. So trap I heard is also terrible. Really? Even though I thought like, well, it has a 53 on Rotten Tomatoes. The reviews that I read on it was that this is M. Night kind of being self-aware.
Starting point is 00:35:25 This is his lightest film. This is low-key a dark comedy and he doesn't take himself so serious, which actually got me a little bit more. But that movie with Batista, the movie that we're still at odds as to what name. Knock at the cabin. Knock at the cabin.
Starting point is 00:35:39 It's knock at the cabin. That's something in the woods. That's a solid movie. Yeah, I liked it. I almost, almost went up to M. Night Shyamalan at a Sixers game just to say hello. I don't really say hello to very many celebrities. I think I said hi to Kevin Hart one time
Starting point is 00:35:53 and Lil Wayne every time I see him. Oh, okay. All right. Where's Look at Me, Louis? Oh yeah, give me a second. Jesus. You can keep going. There you go.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Look at me, Louis. I was hoping for a third Philadelphia celebrity because he rattled off M. Knight and Kevin Hart. But I didn't know what to call him. M. I didn't know whether to say Mr. Chameleon, M. Knight, M, sir. Sir Chameleon.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Mr. Knight. I didn't think he was deserving of a sir, right? And Mr. Chameleon. I mean, I'm in my 40s. I'm not calling him M. Knight, Chameleon, Mr. Chameleon. I was like, you know what? I think most people call him M. Knight. I'm just going to hope you make eye contact and do one of these and then just keep moving
Starting point is 00:36:26 Yeah, they won't say they won't actually like you mentioned Bimel Bimel told me a story in which Bimel actually pretended to be He did he looked at a lot of just yeah, but you know you go to you go to Mr. Knight's IMDB page, and he is only listed as M night shot. Do we know what the M? So what's the M? That's that's what I'm trying to find out. What if it's like Mark McLovin? M is for murder. M is for murder. That's why he makes only Mark. Movies night Shyamalan. Male night Shyamalan.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Okay. Mediocre night Shyamalan after all. Mediocre. I'm not sure what that is. Is that a Troy accent or what's that? No, I just wanted to make sure that no one could thought that it was my actual opinion. No one could think that.
Starting point is 00:37:05 That's why I disguised my voice. Who said that? According to Wikipedia, his name is Indian and I'm going to say it wrong, but it's Manoj. M-A-N-O-J. Manoj? Manoj. Not to be confused with Kylie. Yeah, so that's what the M stands for.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Bringing it back to Street Fighter. Did you know that she was in Street Fighter? Yeah. Yeah, Cami. Really? She still looks great, man. From that movie to today was in Street Fighter? Yeah. Yeah. Cami. Yeah. Really? She still looks great, man. From that movie to today, she looks exactly the same. I got in one of these Kylie Minogue rabbit holes because her song came on my Apple Music when I was writing on the trade. I just couldn't get it out of my head, this song. And I was like, has she ever been married? What's she up to? I don't know. There's like some different timeline where I'm married. I think there were two
Starting point is 00:37:44 Kylie Minogue's. We're like, a 16-year-? What's she up to? I don't know, there's some different timeline where I'm married. We're like a 16 year old me shot his shot with Kylie Minogue and over there everyone understood like yes he's 16 but it's true love. I also have another, there's other timelines with Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson. Really Natalie? The multiverse, Mike's multiverse. Natalie Portman, there is an.
Starting point is 00:38:03 What does she do for you? If there were, there's no such thing as a hall pass. Well, maybe for some people, but like that, my wife sees Natalie Portman on TV and she says it's your girlfriend. You watch Lady and the Lake then? She watched it, she said it wasn't that good. It's still not over, it's still going.
Starting point is 00:38:18 Dude, if there was one person on this planet that Apple should talk to, it's my wife. She watches everything. Well apparently Amin mean cousin also watches everything on Apple like watch is whole every she is a dedicated Apple fan like it's like me with a 24 movies they got fire shows though like the ones I've seen of both one yeah we all love sugar yeah we have like literally 75% of the people that watch Sugar in this, in these studios right now. We can do it?
Starting point is 00:38:51 Let's do it. It's Mystery Crate. And we were talking about spoilers. And now in movies that are still in the theater, two and a half weeks seems to be the cutoff. Guys, we are going to spoil Sugar for you right now. This is a Colin Farrell noir show on Apple TV. We are gonna spoil what happens in episode six.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Yeah, if for some reason you think you still wanna watch this, you could turn this off right now. You may actually hear us and decide, now I wanna watch it. I wanna watch it. We're gonna boost the views because- Well, this is gonna help me, because I have not. When you were talking about it, Mike,
Starting point is 00:39:21 somebody made a comparison. I forget what it was. Do you remember what it was? And you were like, it was kind of like that. From Dusseldahn, where it just totally changes. The marketing strategy, Dan often invokes from Dusseldahn that it surprises them. Well, not if you watch the marketing materials beforehand,
Starting point is 00:39:38 but if you just turn on a movie and apply no context, from Dusseldon goes from this like where's this movie going what's the deal with these two brothers and then boom vampire movie yeah it's pretty surprised like a heist movie in the beginning yeah cabin in the woods is also they call this a MacGuffin is that what it's called what's a MacGuffin in that's why in AMC theaters bar is called MacGuffins oh yeah a MacGuffin is an object, device, or event necessary to the plot and the motivation of the characters,
Starting point is 00:40:07 but typically unimportant or irrelevant in itself. So what I was talking about is not at all a McGuffin. Oh, right. You know what? Now we know what a McGuffin is. You're my brother. I was going to ride with you. We'll get into it no matter what.
Starting point is 00:40:17 I was trying to sound smart. Ms. Mark, if anyone can fuck with me on that, it's Mike Fuentes. So all right, let's spoil the show. Mike Fuentes, I'll hand it over to you, Cynthia, do we have your permission to go ahead and talk about this show openly because you have decided you're not going to watch a show on your own and you don't mind us spoiling. Go for it. Okay. All right. So the show,
Starting point is 00:40:36 let the spoiler right away. No, no, no. I'm going to give you up until that. Like, so the show starts off basically Mike said a very like noir detective style thing where Colin Farrell plays the most, the richest private investigator in the history of the world who can somehow live in a hotel, drive a classic car, wear designer suits, have all this great, he's like a multi-billionaire, but somehow still a detective. Really cool. Like he's playing it really well.
Starting point is 00:40:58 He has a slick back and the fresh suit. The noir stuff works. You're in on this mystery. Like who done it? Where is this girl? Correct. Oh, she's, she's, she was mixed up with the wrong people and she's like the heir to this family acting fortune and the son's an up and coming actor and can we protect her because she's in the foul shit.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Super expensive because the actors, like Cromwell doesn't roll out of his bed for less than seven figures. Correct, yeah and like, and Farrell did a good job, like and then a bunch of other people have to do. Because he always does, he's committed dude. Like living in like the Hollywood Hills All this great stuff. He starts on fold things. He finds dead bodies in cars. There's like people following him He's it's basically like the perfect detective movie. Yeah, I love how they splice in like these old old scenes. Yeah, Hollywood
Starting point is 00:41:38 Yeah, they have scenes from like the night of the hunter I think it's called all that stuff made me think there was something there. Some big noir. That it wasn't just a style thing, that maybe he was somebody who just learned everything he knew through Hollywood, something like that. It was part of a big snuff film or something. There'll occasionally be things like, oh, that's weird, but you kinda just gloss past it. He likes to drink, but he can't get drunk
Starting point is 00:42:01 because of the way his body processes alcohol. I've never heard of that condition, but all right, cool. I wish I had that. That'd be great. It's ridiculous. Why do you keep drinking? All these empty calories, my man. They always snip in these black and white classic movie
Starting point is 00:42:14 scenes that kind of help you explain what's happening if you've never really seen, like, there'll be little parts of dialogue. And then we get to the apex point. There was one scene in that episode, I want to say it wasn't it was Yeah, where someone flashes a gun at him? Yes. Yeah, he's flat a flashing gun in him and he was like, please I don't like violence. I don't want to do this one
Starting point is 00:42:33 he's guns and then there was like the lights cut for maybe a second or it goes a little dark and you see real quickly like Like he just sort of zips through and and and kind of fights. I would like pulls out a gun You're like how you getting out of this one, Colin Farrell? Sugar, they have you. Dead rights. Human traffickers, right? Or something like that. You're like, there's no getting out of this.
Starting point is 00:42:52 Why are you talking all crazy? You don't like guns? This is going to go bad for them. They have you. Exactly. Dead right. There's three people there. And then the scene happens very quickly.
Starting point is 00:43:00 And you're like, hold up. Did that motherfucker just hit a bullet out of the air? He punches a bullet, then he gets stabbed with a very large knife, a huge knife. Gets stabbed right in the side, keeps fighting. It happens so fast that you almost have to slow it down to see what happened. You probably did that, because I didn't even know that that happened. Yeah, because a guy has the blade, it's a big fucking blade. And he hits him in the side, and I'm like, probably vital organs there. But he keeps fighting.
Starting point is 00:43:24 It's a tense scene, so like, I was watching it with my wife, I'm like, probably vital organs there, but he keeps fighting. And you're like. It's a tense scene. So like, I was watching it with my wife. I'm like, did he just shoot it? Oh, well shit, look at what else has happened. Like, so much is happening and you care. They do a really good job about getting you to care for Sugar. Cause you like him a lot.
Starting point is 00:43:36 Yeah, he's super likable and he's knocking the performance out of the park. And you're wondering where this is going. And that scene moves so fast and it's of such import that you don't really stop and think, wait, did he actually smack that bullet out of the air? The only reason I did take a beat and think what had happened was because you had told me something happens in episode six
Starting point is 00:43:57 and it's fucking crazy. And I'm like, so when I saw that, I'm like, is that what he's talking about? I also binged it, Mike, of Mike's. I binged it to the point where I was just and I had to be on the Show the next day. It was like three in the morning. I was like, thank god. This is episode six I'm not watching episode seven. So that's probably why that scene happened Is like this is a half hour show
Starting point is 00:44:15 Yeah, so if you don't want to hear the spoiler up into this point, you can watch this show and revisit this Yeah inside of like a day and a half yeah, and then you can hear a couple people talk about what's about to happen because he does get stabbed. And he responds to the stabbing like it is a serious injury. He's, yeah, he's like caring for it. He seems like he's going to die. And he, he's living this like super secret life.
Starting point is 00:44:41 So you understand why he's not just going to a hospital. Like, so you're following along then because naturally your reaction would be like, get to a hospital. No, I can't. I have this shady past. I work with this syndicate of other private investigators. So that's why I call my other friend who doesn't seem to know me. I was wondering, dude, like my mind was going, yeah, my mind was going. I'm like, what is their relationship here? They have such a tight bond. Is he is this his lover? Yeah, I was like trying to piece together like what is the tie that binds here? Why does he trust this guy? Because they make it like a little bit of like you said like a secret society of
Starting point is 00:45:14 Investigators that are working for some higher power So you think like is this like some fucking umma and luminati like investigator cult that's happening and then it's true Like she cares about him But then she's keeping stuff from him because she'll be on the phone with other people being like, he's getting too close. Remember? And then she'd be like, well, you gotta get away from that. Yeah. So I'm like, what is this mystery? All right, what is going on? Exactly. Yeah, exactly. And is sugar going to die? Yeah. Cause he, like I said, big blade stomach. I was like, he's in danger.
Starting point is 00:45:38 So he's like on his death bed. His friend comes over that call this guy. He's the only person that I can trust. He's like the wolf. And so he comes over and they lock the bathroom door and he starts giving him treatment. Yeah, and he's looking in the mirror and like, give him the shot. Yeah. All right, and then what happens next?
Starting point is 00:45:55 And then he turns blue. Was he blue on your TV? It was kind of silver on mine. It might have been silver. He's an alien. He's an alien. Yeah. He's an alien.
Starting point is 00:46:04 Everything kind of wafts over and his hair is gone and he's bald and he has like these textures on his face he's an alien they're all alien he's an alien he's an alien it's like for a flashing moment like it's on your screen for like a second and a half and then the episode ends they're on a mission and so they are so you I've you're not yanking my chain this is exactly no no this is a really cool looking noir show show who done it, human trafficking, what's this guy's job, what is this, he's an alien. And all of a sudden, he's an alien.
Starting point is 00:46:32 He's an alien. He's an alien. Like a meteor out on that field. Screw them for doing this, because then I had to look to Cynthia and I was like, what? Is he an alien? Were we stupid? Were the eyes turning blue at the end of the intro every time or only after? No, it was only after. Yeah, so like they start like, because it has a cool like noir-ish intro to it. And so like I had let a day pass so I could process.
Starting point is 00:47:01 Is he an alien? He's an alien? Yeah at first I thought like no way he's a cyborg or something he's like half robot and that's why he's able to take this because there's no way he's an alien. That would have also ruined the show. Yeah 100%. He's not just an alien Mike, he's a blue alien. Yes. Like he's an alien alien. A proper alien. Like the deepest of all the aliens. Yeah. he's not a humanoid that's like, I'm an alien. No, he's an alien. He's legit.
Starting point is 00:47:28 And he's going through like existential crises, like he's just thinking through, like he is a human. And he's fallen in love with the human race through apparently all these old timey movies and he's built his personality and the reason why he drinks is because he loved the aesthetic and he's learning all these wonderful things
Starting point is 00:47:43 about the human race. But yes, his eyes are blue in the intro video, and it was immediately a reminder, he's an alien. And then they try to play it on, like that next episode, like they didn't just tell us he was an alien. They just continued on, like nothing. The only thing that they- It goes some time, as I remember,
Starting point is 00:48:04 they go some time before like revisiting this whole alien nonsense. Hey, you're an alien, let's talk about that. And then of course the aliens have like some exodus plan and they're all leaving and he needs to leave or otherwise he'll be stuck there forever. And it's- We're gonna spoil everything. The guy who he trusted more than anybody in the world.
Starting point is 00:48:20 Not the one to trust. Not who he thinks he is. Not the class yet. The guy who called to heal him, also an alien. We've heard from Izzy, we've heard from the mics on this, but the person that I really want to find out what they were thinking on this, because like, I kind of,
Starting point is 00:48:33 the only reason you guys watched Sugar was because I watched it, and I had like the genuine reaction like, what the hell, and you guys were curious. But Tony, I'm so curious as to how you experience all that. He's been very quiet. No, because I've been listening. I told Mike when he told us something happens in this show, but he didn't spoil it. He told me in the back a couple of, maybe like a week ago or something. So I was watching it, and I was getting it.
Starting point is 00:49:01 I was like, okay, it's interesting, whatever. but it kind of lost me towards the end of the first Episode and Mike's like no you got to get through six episodes and figure half hour show So my my issue is this it's almost like the The Willis Reed situation and I'll explain why so Willis Reed comes in to the game with a broken leg, right? Supposed to be this hero. I end up finding out he only scores four points in the game. So we look at Sugar, right? He's an alien, but then it goes away from him being an alien. He scores four points in the game now.
Starting point is 00:49:40 Yeah. That's how it works. All of one moment. The final episode is like, all right, we're going to button up all your questions that you had about him being an alien. Sorry, we did that to you in episode six and like seven and eight were like not at all about him being an alien. To which I say, this is why everybody passed on this show. This is why every studio, which is what happened, every studio pass on this show because they couldn't come to grips with wait a second he's an alien you know what you and Cynthia told me this at the bar and I was like because like and then because
Starting point is 00:50:13 then it goes back I forgot there's like a serial killer type aspect at the end yeah yeah which which gets totally overshadowed by he's an alien yeah what happens in seven and eight then they They just like keep with this mystery. They go back to the mystery of- Potential for season two is all it is. Yeah, of the missing girl and it turns out she was being held captive by some guy who was like into like torturing women and- Who had- Spoiler alert.
Starting point is 00:50:35 His- at this point I was like sure- Was he an alien too? No, no, no, but his alien friend that treated him- Was into that shit too. Was just like watching. Yeah, he- Like he was like cucking murder. Yeah, basically he like would get the girl- help help get the girls so this guy could string them up and cut them open and murder them. And the way that they expanded it.
Starting point is 00:50:51 So he knew where she was the whole time. These aliens are just here to document what's going on. And there is like a treaty between the alien race and humans because they're like late to leave the planet. Yeah. So there's one scene where- They're the last boat out. Yeah, there's one scene where Nurse Jackie's like boyfriend, if you remember Nurse Jackie. Nurse Jackie?
Starting point is 00:51:09 Yeah. Like he seems to be like the guy that's in charge of all these, wrangling all these aliens. Underrated Nurse Jackie. He gets popped. It was. It was underrated. He gets popped by like a cop. And so like, okay, they're breaking their treaty right now.
Starting point is 00:51:22 But yeah, his friend alien was just like, his morbid curiosity led him to tailing this murderer do you want to keep spoiling Apple TV shows because Dan mentioned presumed innocence earlier in the week excellent except for that it fell apart except for the DA we yeah you guys can't spoil that because that is no no we're not that is by consensus a good show. It's a really good show. But how long has it been in release though? A while. But it's going to have a season two.
Starting point is 00:51:49 Where as Sugar, I don't think so. Me and Micah were questioning, how is it going to have a season two if you know how the show ends? How do we get to season two unless something else happens? It's got to be like a true detective thing. A different story. A new case, a new story, new actors. But what Tony's talking about with the DA is there's an actor who plays the new district attorney
Starting point is 00:52:06 that gets voted in. And he has a very particular voice. His voice is terrible. That's either great acting or this guy's not going to get many more roles. Because that is so hard to listen to. Yeah, every time he talks, like the scene where he asks the guy, he's like, are you ready for this case?
Starting point is 00:52:20 And he's like, yeah. And he's like, yeah, I am. And he's like, you see, that kind of response scares me. Dude, that's exactly what it sounds like. And I'm just like, yo, what? Every time he opens his mouth, like the first day of filming, when he did that accent, because he's British in real life. So the first day he does that accent, does nobody go, hey,
Starting point is 00:52:42 what was that? It feels like something's wrong with his jaw. And that's just how his words come out as a result. No, but then you hear him talk in a normal setting, he talks nothing like it. But it's just the whole like, yeah, you think you're going to have fun with this, Kay? And I'm just like, first of all, banger of an impression.
Starting point is 00:52:58 Second of all, it's a good choice by him. Who the hell else would have remembered that role? You know what? It's true. We're talking about him more now than probably ever would before. See, he wants- Don't get me started with a bartender too. Ha.
Starting point is 00:53:08 ["Spring Day"] Folks, a lot has changed. We're at a new studio. My daughter's six years old. My father's turning 70. But you know one thing that hasn't changed? The great taste of Miller Lite. Another thing that hasn't changed?
