Hey Alan. I need you to slap me across the face a bunch of times. Well, I did notice that you're wearing your Fubar camouflage tank top.
Do you like this? Is this a good look? Is this a good look for me?
The way it works with your beard and your frizzed out hair?
I'm very pretty.
Oh, John Grizzly, you're nailing it.
There's a lot of good, oh god, a lot Terry Funk. Welcome to the April Fool's Day episode?
Yeah, it's like April 3rd when this comes out, the Fool's Day.
This is our second annual?
Yeah.
Doing a movie we want to do, which is it turned out only I wanted to do,
which I feel betrayed.
No, wait, I wanted to do this, but upon re-watching it, very problematic movie.
Well, we all get into this.
I just, okay, what movie are we doing?
We're doing over the top, 1987.
What a year?
At the height of his powers, Sylvester Rocky Salone.
Do you think he just like wrote Rocky and then was like,
people love a down and out good-hearted sportsman because that's what this is but Rocky is likeable and Lincoln Hawk is
not. May I read you the summation of this movie from Amazon the streaming service?
I would love to hear it. Some fight for money, some fight for glory. He's fighting for his son's love.
Sovestre Sloan blends action with sentimentality in this family.
That's where the sentence stopped.
This family?
It doesn't even, oh boy, it doesn't sound good at all.
May I read you the summation from Rotten Tomatoes.
Please. A caring truck driver.
Good God, Christ Almighty.
Once only the game custody of his beloved son after his ex-wife becomes deathly ill.
Unfortunately, his wife's powerful and wealthy father refuses to let that happen.
Also, the son is angry and disrespectful because he seldom sees his dad.
Also. In order to prove himself to his boy,
the trucker enters an arm wrestling contest.
He was gonna do that anyway.
Did you guys even watch this movie?
How can they watch it?
We didn't tell what it was.
No, I mean the rotten tomatoes people.
They knew what it was.
To prove his love to improve himself to his boy. He he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he. He he he. He he he. He he. He he. He he. He he. He was.

That's not what happened. It's not what happened at all. Okay, did you notice that sometimes his name
is Lincoln Hawk and sometimes his Lincoln Hawks? Oh did I? Why? Because no one gave a flying
shit. He wrote the movie. Even sometimes he says Hawks. The other person that wrote
this movie? Uh, that guy's name is Sterling Sillifant sounds like Sylvester Stallone's his's the pen name's th's toen's toen's toen's toen's toen's toen's toen's toen's toen's the name's toen's toen's the name's the name's tolden's the name is Sterling Sillifant.
Sterling Sillofant sounds like Sylvester Stone Owens pen name.
He wrote Village of the Damned.
Oh, yeah, good one.
Like 60s Horror Movie, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, not the unforgivable Carpenter remake.
Speaking of Unforgivable, non-carpment. This was directed by Menahem Golan.
Of Golan Globus, Production Company.
Oh, okay. And Canon films, too.
Who fucking okayed this movie?
That guy who directed it, who was also the production company.
Let me just get this out of the way really quickly.
Okay. I watched this movie a lot as a kid.
I think it was like we had recorded it
on to a VHS and I watched it a lot.
However, I grew up in a time of like
after school specials and a lot of information
about like what to do if your soccer coach touches you,
you know, and the icky feeling that you would get from like those stories or those after school
specials, those videos about like, you know, this is a person who's trying to touch
you inappropriately and you should go tell a parent or a friend's parent.
I need an adult.
I need an adult, exactly.
I remember having that feeling about this movie as a child, like, thi. It's a thike. Like, what the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f the f f fa, the fa, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I's, th. I's, th. I's, th, th, th. I's, th. I's, th. I is, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. This is, thi. This is, thi. This is, thi. It's, thi. It's, thi. It's, thi. I'm, thi. thi. It's, thi. I's, thi. I's, thi. It's, thi. thi. It's icky. It's icky. It's he he's he touching this kid for. It's the male id run wild on how do I express love to someone.
It's like the how I walked away from the, oh you express love like, uh, punching it. You punch it. You punch it. You punch it. You punch it. Then you just hold up you. Lenny of mice and men it until it's dead. You drive a truck into the kid nightruck that. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. th. th. the. th. the. th. the. th. the th. the th. th. th. the th. th. the th. the th. th. th. th. the the th. th. th. the th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. ti. ti. tode. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. the. thi. the a truck into the kidnappers truck that his kid is in.
And then into the house that his kids in.
The kid could have been going out to get the fucking mail.
Yeah.
Everything he does is wrong.
Everything he does is bad.
Lincoln, Hoc, hocks.
You suck. He sucks. He also, I think he might be slow. I think that might be a thing about this movie that's like not explored is maybe he just
has a mental disability.
Yeah, I don't know what's going.
He has no character.
No.
None of these characters have...
What does he care about other than his son's love?
And what has he done for the last 12 years?
Yeah, well, well, you got gotta haul it. I just, every, okay, okay, okay.
Okay, are we gonna go through it?
Like, we're gonna get into it?
Yeah, I think we are.
Yes, let's get into, I could, I could save my Robert Loja comments for later.
Oh, there's a lot of comments on.
Okay, let's start with the cover art because it straight up looks like a D&D illustration. He's so disproportionate. This. It. It's. It's. It's. It's th. It's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho- Well, tho- Well, tho- Well, thi. Well, tho- Well, well, well, thi-I thi-I thi- thi- thi- thi- thi- thi. We thi. We thi. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. Well. Well, th. Well, th. Well, th. Well, th. Well, th. Well, th. Well, th. Well, thi-I-I-I-I-I-a-a. Well, thi-a. Well, thin. Well, thin. th-a. thin. thin. th-a. thin. th-a. thin. th-a. thi so huge. It's bigger than his skull.
It starts with the graduation, the military school graduation, of these kids who are going to be in
Desert Storm in a couple years.
And... I don't know, I'm sorry, I just cracked myself on the desert storm.
Cut with a man washing a truck.
And then washing his face next to the truck and like what?
Okay.
We've all been on tour.
We've all brushed her teeth on the side of the room.
But what we are to understand is he's got to get that truck so clean for graduation,
so clean that he misses graduation.
He can't even be a good dad at the end of it.
Day one, day one of being a good dad, he's like, oh fuck.
That doesn't matter because that kid's such a shit.
You know, I don't want to say I could graduate.
Go fuck yourself.
Enjoy Desert Storm.
Oh, like nobody died in Desert Storm, it's fine.
And then the mud flaps on the truck?
I didn't notice.
The left side says passing side.
The right side says suicide.
What? That's stupid.
Don't pass on the right.
No, you should know, but...
No one is there to watch. Little Cadet Cutler graduate from military school.
No.
Where is Grandpa who loves him so goddamn much?
He said they were like, oh he's meeting us at the airport.
Why the fuck wasn't he there?
Sylvester Sillowell him just, I just wrote Rocky and he was like, I am a golden
god.
I can't do no wrong.
Well he had done wrong in between Rocky and this
movie Rhinestone which was his country and western comedy I never saw that
and then Fist which was I think another comedy that he wrote comedies and
or starting at least and they they were they were huge flops that I've seen that I've seen
I've watched I mean it was I'm 12 when this movie comes out so like Sevestor Sloan was my fucking jam them tham thi th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I've th. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've the thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've th. I've th. I've their th. I've their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I've th. I've th. I th. I I I th. I I th. I th. I' th. I've th. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. thi. to to theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I've tho. I've theeee. I've the. I've the. I've the. I've seen. Um, I've watched, I mean, it was, I'm 12 when this movie comes, or 13 when this movie
comes out.
So like, Sevestor Sloan was, was my fucking jam him and him and Arne.
Sure, of course.
They were everything they did.
Yeah.
And they were kind of like the only, like, it was them or horror movies, like the only thing that was like, thi's thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th. thi. thi. thi. thi. science stuff. But anyway. Rob got really mad in this scene because he was like, first of all, Rob had never seen
this movie before.
And so I just refused to watch it with me and she's never seen it before.
I wrote down all of his reactions which are pretty good.
In this scene he screamed who made this kid a sergeant.
Because apparently he's wearing like sergeant stripes. And I was like,'t know Rob like if this is if we're already like four minutes into
it and you're getting mad at the realism like you better buckle in
why is when semester's logo is to pick his son up at the military academy is he
dressed like a newsy why is a wedding photo a valid form of identification?
It's not a photo of him at the birth of the child. Why would a, is this military guy so willing to send him with a stranger?
His only form of ID is a wedding photo.
And a phone call from a dying woman.
The only woman in this move, other than the female arm wrestlers?
I thus. But they have no dialogue. No. She's the only woman in this movie, other than the female arm wrestlers. I don't the female arm wrestlers.
But they have no dialogue.
No.
She's the only woman with die.
Well, no, there's the waitress too.
There's several waitresses, I feel.
So that's the waitresses and a dying woman are the only women in this movie.
Well, and the arm wrestling women, much respect. Trucks aren't for women. Tell that to fucking large marge.
Yes.
So he picks up the kid and he takes him with him.
The kids like, oh I guess we're driving to California from Colorado.
But first I have to make this hall.
Yeah, I gotta drop this off first.
What the fuck?
You can't even be a good dad right now. You can't even be a good dad right now.
You can't even be a good dad right now.
Mom is on a definitive timeline.
Yeah, she's having surgery for her heart.
Had you asked me prior to this watching of this movie?
I would have sworn up and down.
She had cancer. Yeah, and she was like, yeah.
Heart surgery. What? I feel like th th th th th th th they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they were like, I they were like, I they were like, I they were like, I they were like, I th. I th. I th. th. th. th. th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to to to to to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. the. to the. to to to to the. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to kind of a bummer, right? Yeah. The kid jumps out of the truck and like runs into
traffic and causes an enormous pileup and I kept thinking that like a really great short film
would be a car just hitting the kid and then the credits rolling. They had this this car
pile up as my favorite thing from 70s and 80s movies with just like the stock guy going
Hey kid yeah, come on buddy
Just like people yelling
What is this but like so loud that they would have to be like right next to the kid whether they were so good?
And he gets his a one sleeve ripped off of his little army jacket. Yeah, his little sergeant army jacket Maybe Stallone was ripping off the sergeant bars. You didn't earn these these these these these these the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their c. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. jacket. Yeah, his little sergeant army jacket. Maybe Stallone was ripping
off the sergeant bars. You didn't earn these. No, you're not a sergeant kid. You've never been a
sergeant. You're fucking liar. Everyone's outfits and everyone's hair in this movie are fantastic.
Later on at the armrestle competition, there's the one guy, uh, mad dog, Mardigan, what's his name? That's the one. Uh, what is it? I it it, I it, the it, the it, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's, th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He's thi. Maybe, thi. thi. thi. thee. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. thi. th one. Uh, what is it? I got it. I got it right here. Yeah, so Maddog Madison later
on has a tank top. That's a tank top. A tank top. A tank top. That's an X across the
front so his man boobs are showing. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's a very, like, that's a very, like, that's a very. That's a very. That's a very. That's a very. That's a very. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It. It. It. It. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that's a. that's a. th. th. Like a bodybuilder, Venice, sort of thing. Yeah, exactly.
But it looked runted like, why bother?
Why even wear a shirt?
Why even wear a shirt?
So in this bar diner, gentlemen's club.
Sylvester Stallone goes to arm muscle smasher and his kid stays at the bar where... A terrifying man comes up and just holds his hand.
Did you notice that he's just holding his hand?
The kid's hand was on the bar and he like placed his hand on top of it and just like held it like you would hold your long-time spouse's hands.
You're talking about bull hurley.
Don't touch that child. Everyone is inappropriately touching this child and no one is concerned. No one is concerned. The one person who was concerned about this child is
dying. Yeah. Or she sent him on this rude. This is her. Everything, everything that happens is the
mom's fault. Like why did she? Maybe she hated the kid. Maybe she seems to like Sylvester Stallone just fine. Why did she? Maybe she hated the kid. Maybe. She seems to like Sylvester Stallone just fine.
Why does she hide the letters from him and then send him off the same with his dad?
It doesn't make any fucking sense.
Had you asked me prior to re-watching this film, who hid the letters?
Or slocha?
Robert Loshia.
No. Why didn't they just set that up? Is this like a Berenstein Bears, Baronstein Bears thing where we saw a different universe's
version of Over the Top and made a little bit more sense?
Honestly, I think we were just like, as younger people, we had to fill in the blanks.
We were like, we have to make sense of this, so we made sense of it, the only way we could,
which is logic that this movie.
We had to do mental rewrites of this movie. And we were right to have done that. I didn't remember that he was often called either hawk or hawks.
No memory of that.
I didn't remember that at the end,
they say that it's a double elimination tournament 16 times,
and then the guy loses once and he's out.
I have so many note to say, how many eliminations? They're like, Bull Hurley has never lost in five years. He loses once he's out. That's not what you just fucking said.
Maybe the finals reset, but still, they should have, if they're going to tell me about the
double elimination this many times, what?
Tell me the rules?
If you're going to tell me the rules, tell me all of them.
The two top. Oh God, meet me halfway across the sky. I didn't remember that that song plays three fucking times.
And it's like a reprise at different points to played on the Piatty.
What does it even mean?
He keeps saying life won't meet you halfway.
Well, Kenny fucking log into screaming me halfway.
You're right.
He's also basically a drifter, so maybe you don't take career advice from him.
That is another similarity with D&D. He just rolls into town and what happens happens.
Get some golden leaves, yeah.
The two main sponsors of this movie seemingly were brute men's cologne and Alka Seltzer.
Sure. So I assume they thought everyone coming to see this was a drunk man. And they're probably pretty close. They're probably pretty close. I mean, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I he I he I he I he I he I he I he I he I he I he I he I just just he he I just he he. He he. He he he he. He he he he he he he just just just just just he he he he. He he. He just he just he just he just he just he just he just he just he just he just he just he just he just he just he just he just he just he just he just he he just he just he just he he just he just he just he just he just he just he just he just he just he he. He he just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just he. He he. He he he I he he he he he he th I th I th I th I th I th I th. He th th th th. He's just th th th th th. He th th. He th th. He th th. He the the the thi the the the the th thought everyone coming to see this was a drunk man. And they're probably pretty close. They're probably pretty close. I mean I saw this in the theater. Did you? Oh yeah. Oh boy. How can I not? How are you going to pass up Terry Funk?
Terry Funk is like is in a bunch of scenes and has a one line. Mr. Cutler is talking to you. You've seen Roadhouse.
Yeah.
Oh God, he's so good at that movie.
I've seen Terry Funk do a lot of mic work in his other life.
Maybe we should do Roadhouse for one of these.
I would love to.
Maybe next April Fool's.
Okay, so in the first arm wrestling scene in the diner, we see him do his over-
top move.
It's a legal. Is, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it over the top move? It's an illegal move, right?
Is it legal?
It's fine.
It's fine to just pull your fingers off?
Robin I had like a kind of a fight about this.
Because he was like, well, you're putting yourself at a disadvantage
because you're like letting go.
You're getting all the leverage. I guess in the moments where you're taking taking taking taking tak you're tak tak tak to take taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking taking to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to just. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's.

It's confuses your opponent the unbelievable.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, blah.
Except for John Grizzly, who just keeps going,
God's fucking fingers on my thumb.
Go to the fucking fingers all my thumb.
There's so much man yelling in this movie.
Oh, this is the shrie- like the Act 3 is shrieking, which I love.
If there had been a scene where everyone just stopped down and got a ruler and measured their
penises, I would not have been surprised.
And then that guy would win the truck.
The truck.
Okay, remember, I remember when we first talked about doing this movie, I was like, why the fuck is the prize, a truck, for whom is that good?
And it turns out that Sylvester Stallone is from the truckers division.
But there was a guy from the Teamsters Division, like that guy's a fucking pipe fitter or whatever.
Like, what is he gonna do with this $250,000 trucker truck but not from the truckers. No, he's just from the elite.
There seems to be two divisions, which is truckers and Teamsters.
Like, what would you do if the Teamsters guy won the truck?
I'd be like, I'm not even going to drive this out of here.
It's double clutch. I can't double clutch.
No. And OK. OK.
Oh, oh my God, okay. But it's $100,000 cash and $250,000 truck.
What, how-
Just give me $353,000?
You're gonna pay taxes on that either way.
Oh, man, oh man.
After the first time, uh, meet me halfway across the sky plays, I just have, this song
is butt.
I think I got mad at you for saying that
earlier and then when I heard it I was like oh I was wrong it's so shlocky
and just like it's long it's lovely lovely songs yeah footloose
my own mom dinges zone I don't got one for that one yeah I got the song I'm a song fromhack. Oh yeah, I'm all right. Is that it?
Yeah. I mean they're all kind of hokey but still. You like them. You like them. This is not. This is a ballad. I don't like it. Better song in this movie. Winner takes it off sung by the Red Rocker. I liked that. Sammy Hagar. Yeah. I liked. thi. A. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm. I'm. I'm. I th.

I liked that. Reading a little factoid about that song. Yeah. Originally, John Wheton, the singer from Asia, sang the song and they're like,
he doesn't sound manly enough. Get the Red Rocker in here.
Geez. God, this whole fucking movie.
They're so worried about their manliness. But then it's also like these really tender moments that Sylvester Solona is having where he's like,
if you get tired, you can, or if you're uncomfortable,
you can sleep on my shoulder.
And it's just like, this is an inappropriate romantic comedy.
Like it feels really gross.
Because he's like in the tired, you want to lean on me. It was like, at some point did they write this movie where this was his love interest and
not this child, but not take that part out.
If, if I, if someone is looking at me like that, I assume they're trying to tou.
to toub to toub to toub to like, right, to like seduce my child to get them to love me?
What is this a world?
Or you just make your child watch it and go, this isn't appropriate.
If an adult does this to you, this is wrong.
You come and tell me.
In that scene, Rob said, I can't wait to see the training montage, and then literally
the nexttruck because every day is upper body day when your Sylvester Stallone. He's got
that I don't know what the fuck you call it's like the weight system in the
truly yeah that you just do it so his right arm is gonna be insane his left
arm is just this limp little dangling thing but his right arm is just oh that's arm wrestling baby that's that definitely have the note when Terry Funk shows up,
Terry fucking Funk.
Yeah.
The Funkster, how can he not get stoked?
He just stands around and intimidates
as one of Robert Loja's goons for most of the movie.
And I just kept being like, when are you gonna do something, Terry Funk?
Him and my favorite goon, who's him at the gate. Yep, yep.
Yep, I know exactly who you mean.
Oh man.
So the kids is shit.
But admittedly, his dad dipped 10 years ago and he has not heard word one.
I just mean it's like class warfare kind of crap.
Sure. And his whole like don't eat that steak. Yeah, eating tuna salad salad salad on weed or whatever like it's mercury and mayonnaise anyway so go fuck yourself also
that kid did not get a meal because he immediately went arm wrestled rather
than getting his son fed oh yeah then there's the scene where he the kid
talking about intellect and so Sylvester Stallone shows him how smart he is by
making the kid drive the truck.
Which he does right away, right away!
I was waiting for that kid just to dip into eugenics and just be like, and by the way, we're
going to kill off this.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, what you're doing? What's cool. This is after he's ripped off the other sleeves on the kid's army jacket, so he's wearing
this like cadet jacket sleeveless.
Looks kind of cool, honestly.
It looks kind of cool.
When you can see the six inches of shoulder.
Yeah.
The scene where he's learning to drive the truck also has the line.
I always wanted to be a milkshake.
I always wanted to be a milkshake.
I love when they go into one of the diners that they go into.
And he's like, uh, to Stallone's like, what do you think of this place?
Pretty nice, huh?
I never did like the zoo, sir.
Yeah.
It's like how these when he's in jail.
He's just dripping sweat.
Did you notice that?
It was a cranked the heat in that jail.
They just need them to be shiny.
I guess.
Glossy as fuck.
I have the note like arm wrestling is a thing.
In this movie, okay, so my family often settles disputes with arm wrestling, so I will not say
that it's not a thing.
What I was going to see is at the end of this episode, if you and I could go, oh yeah, I'd like
to.
We got to get the strap though, and then I'm going to punch you in the face with it.
And then I'm going to go, why you're hitting yourself? Bull Hurley was the national arm wrestling champion. He's not an actor? No, he's not an actor.
He's fantastic.
He's so charismatic.
I liked him.
I love how he kept saying, he's got no shit in business being here.
And I just adored that.
I'm going to rip off your shit army.
There was no second tap on that.
I love him. He doesn't need a second take because he's the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. the best. th. the best. th. th. th. th. thi, he's, he's thi, he's thi, he's thi, he's thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I's, thi, I'm to be. to bea, to bea, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. He's, thi. He's, th. He's, th. He's, th. He's, th. He's, th. He's, thi. He's, thi. He's, I. He's, I. He's, I. He's, I. He's, I. He's, I. He's, I's, I's to bea, I's too, I'm too, I'm too. He's too. He's tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomee. He's toe. He's toe. He's toe.that. I love him. He doesn't need a second take because he's the best actor in this movie.
I'm going to rip off your shit arm.
Yeah, great.
Okay, so wait, so we get to the scene where Sylvester Stallone starts betting with children.
I'm betting on children's arm wrestling. Since the first time I've seen this movie, the scene, this is the scene that like hits like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the best, the best, thi, the best the best the best the best the best the best, the best, the best, the best the best the best the best the best the best the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, th th the th th th th th th th th th th th is th is thi, thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thiia thii. thi. thi. the best the best thi. thi. thi. I've seen this movie, the scene, this is the scene that like hits
all my bells and whistles and I'm like, no, this is a situation you have to get this child
out of.
His father's a bully.
Bully.
His father's belittling children.
Oh yeah.
His father's stealing money from children.
Well, they put it on the line. From chilled. Also that child is 28 years old and just very short. I was convinced
that he was the kid from the pit. I had to go look at it. He was not. No, he was not the queen
to the pit. He also forgot to wear a shirt that day and he's just straight up wearing a vest?
He's a child. At least his nipples are covered. A child wearing no shirt and a vest. It's's really distressing and I don't know.
He's just such a shitty dad.
Just such a shitty.
And you're supposed to be rooting for him.
You're supposed to be like he's a good dad.
He's a shit dad.
The whole time I'm just going, leave the kid with Robert Losha.
The man is wealthy, he's going to go to great schools. He's going to have a really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really thia to have a really to have a really to have a really to have a really to have a really to have a really to have a really to have a really to have a really to have a really to to to to gonna go to great schools, he's gonna have a really good existence. And also, Robert Loja,
in my memory of this movie,
he's a bigger asshole than he is.
And he's in the movie a ton, right?
In your memory?
He's not, not at all.
Not at all.
I feel like he showed up for a couple shoots,
and was like, he's the only family I have. And I was like, oh, he actually cares for this kid more than you do, probably, Sylvester
Slim, because he like, that kid lived with him.
You fed that kid breakfast, you know what I mean?
You're a truck driver.
You can't stop by once in 10 years?
You got to take a haul that goes past said he's the only family I have, Robert Loja's number two, Tim, would have
just like looked a little crestfallen.
Yeah, come on, buddy.
So this is a thing that Robert Loja does, which is right after the child arm wrestling
scene, he has goons kidnap his grandson.
Like why the fuck did you think that was okay?
Why did you call the cops think that was a good idea? They straight up a the the the the the the the th a th a th a th a th a very like a very like a very like a very like a very like a very like a very thaaq like a very thaq like a very tha' up. K like a very thatting. K like a very that. K. K. Kniped. thatting. Hea'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a, but th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He. Yeah. Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Come. Come, th. Come, th. Come, th. Come, th. Come, th. Come, th. Come, th. Come, th. Come, th. Come, th. Come. Come think that was okay? Why did you call the cops? Think that was a good idea.
They straight up kidnap him in like a very upsetting scene.
They're carrying him, screaming into a pickup truck
that his father that hits with a semi.
Every time.
With his kid in it.
Sylvester Sloan gets on the phone,'re talking about him? To his mother, who's only job is to die.
I wish we could have heard from her doctor like what her chances were before the surgery
or anything.
The steaks were low, you know, and then she's dead.
And then he shows up at the funeral late wearing jeans and interrupts it.
Like no wonder everyone fucking thinks you're a bum. And then just like hard stares, mean mugs, the kid just stares and
I'm like at his mother's funeral. What a monster he is. And then leaving it's he just
leaves. He shows up late wearing jeans interrupts the service turns on on leaves.
You are an asshole.
It's also the third different color denim dress shirt he's wearing,
and it's tucked in with no belt.
So it's just like, what, oh, get the fuck out of here.
It didn't even have one of his fancy suspenders?
No.
Oh.
So at the point of the mother's death is when the kid goes back to Robert Loja. He gets in the cat at the hospital.
And then, Sylvester Sloane drives his truck to the house.
And the next note I have says, in quotes, this movie has everything shrieks Rob as he drives
through the gate.
There wasn't even a scene of Sevestor Sloan getting drunk before he did this obvious drunk
dad thing to do.
No, he drives his truck through the gates, through like this field of statues that they
have, inexplicably.
I was reading a review of this movie that said, this is, Robert Lujia's the type of
rich that would have a bunch of statues in his front yard and you know Sloans it in every one of them...
statues in his front yard and you know salons it in every one of them. Oh, God.
And the kids like, I don't know what to think.
Well, like your grandfather sent hired men to kidnap you.
So why don't you take that into consideration?
You know what I mean? Oh, man.
Oh, I do have to, I got a good bust on the doctor who was not very helpful at the hospital. I called him old Mars Sharifif. the th. th. th. th. th. the th. Sh. th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I the th. I th. I th. Oh, th. Oh, th. th. Oh, thu. Oh, to to to to to to to to to to to to to get the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to get to get to get to get to get. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh, to. Oh, to. Oh, to. Oh, to. Oh, to. Oh, to. Oh, to thatue. Oh, toe. Oh, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, the the toe. Oh, the to the to the. bust on the doctor who was not very helpful at the hospital. I called him Old Marsharif and I was very proud of them.
He looked like old Omar Sharif.
I guess he did, yeah.
I guess he did.
Oh God, so stupid.
And this is where I have the note, they're really underusing Terry Funk.
Oh yeah, he can act. He can say lines anyway.
As well as to alone. Yeah, for th thu thu thu thu thu thu thu th. Oh, thu th. Oh, thu thu th. Oh, thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu- thu- thu- th. I th. I th. I th. I thu- I tho th. I th. I th. I th.

I thea thea thea thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Hea. I was th act. He could say lines anyway. As well as Stallone.
Yeah, for sure. Oh God.
So, Stallone gets out of jail by agreeing to a seat.
Oh, he went to jail for running the car.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. He goes to jail where he sweats a lot.
Sweaty jail. And he agrees to seed custody to Robert Losia leave the state, and never come back to California,
where I'm sure he has the halls, but I'm just going to ignore that.
Also, you really can't enforce that.
No.
But he agrees, and he just leaves.
He goes to Nevada to compete in the world arm wrestling championship.
Because he, Mike came to see him.
Tim brought Mike to jail. Tim is the attorney's the number the number the number the number. the number. the number. the number. the number. th. th. th. the number. th. th. the th. the th. th. th. the th. He. He. He's tha. He's tha. He's tha. He's tho. He's the thoes. He's tho. He's tho. He's to. He's to. He's to. He's to. He's to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He's. He. He's, ta. He's ta. He's ta. He's ta. He's ta. He's ta. He's ta. He's ta. Hea. He's ta. He's ta. He's ta. He's ta. He's to jail. Tim is the attorney. Yeah, Tim's the number one.
And Mike sits down with his father and his dad's like,
just tell me you don't want to be with me.
It's like, well, I just don't think it makes any sense.
Like, I don't know you.
You've been really weird and abusive to me.
Well, he doesn't say this. You live, you live th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, ti, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, t t ti, ti, ti, ti, ti, ti, ti, ti, ti, ti's, ti.. ti. ti. ti. ti. ti. ti's is ti. ti. t this. You live on the road. It's like, where are we going to live? And he's like, oh, we'll figure it out.
We'll just be together.
And I was like, no, that's a, that's a warning sign, right there, kid.
Yeah, that's how men kidnap teenage girls.
Oh God.
That's true.
I know. man. And yet. And yet he does. Why? Because they spent three days driving from Colorado
to California and like lifting. Told him how to drive the original Mack truck. Why does Mike
freak out and search for the letters? I don't know. He goes on like ape shit to find
these letters and there's been nothing to trigger him looking for these letters. They've discussed that Stallone has been sending him letters, but he never saw any of them. I don't know what why
he feels all of a sudden he should go look. And like, but why did she hide them?
If she has, she has been in communication with him the whole time sending him pictures
and letters and when they talk at the phone he calls her honey like it seems
like they have a relationship why is she doing this? In another installment if of
if you had asked me before this movie I would have told you that Robert Losea made
it so they couldn't be together yeah but at no point is that established in
the movie I thought yeah I think I had thought that he had like bribed Stallone to go away or something.
But he does later, twice inexplicably when the second time was totally unnecessary.
I don't, and then it's like, the kids are like, sir, are you still dealing drugs?
And Sloan's like, oh, your grandfather just made that up. But why did he leave? Yeah, I don't know. You never find out. Do you? No.
No. Okay. I mean, unless I kind of stopped paying attention in some point, but I couldn't
have because I was so excited about the armrestling that was coming up. I definitely didn't stop paying
attention. And that's rare for me. Yeah, I think that they were just like, hmm. He just did. thinne. the thrown. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. No. No. their. their. their. their. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. to. the. the. the. the. the. the. any fucking sense. So Mike runs.
He steals a car because he now knows how to drive really, really well.
Except that he runs red lights.
Which he should know.
And he steals like a little like Lulpup pickup truck, which I was real stoked on.
Because I don't think those are a big deal.
Yeah, yeah.
I've ridden the back of many of them.
So Robert Lose lolololololo that's where they know he's going.
Right. They sold an airline to get to a 12 year old. Who had the money to buy one?
Well they let you do that? I don't think so. I don't know. Unless you're just like, I'm Robert
Loja, this is cranked. Maybe you're right. I mean, that's like he also takes a taxi cab. the the taxi I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th th th th th th th th th th th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi. I thi. I th. I th. th. th. th. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. to to to to to to the. the. the. the. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're like, he also takes a taxi cab. Yeah. And where is this money coming from?
I don't know.
He just has it, I guess.
Just a rich kid.
I mean, I think that's just the rich kid thing, you know?
I mean, it's so, yeah, I know.
I shouldn't be hung up on this.
But I was like, how is this kid so good of traveling, tra tra tra tra tra to traveling, to traveling, to traveling, to traveling, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to to to to the the the be that good of traveling by myself. So
Salon gets to the competition where he has you see him go to a lot and sell
his truck for seven grand which I have no memory of in my previous watching
so his movie because what if he doesn't win? Well he bets it all in himself man
this is his last chance. I guess nobody life doesn't meet you halfway.
Unless you go you cross the sky.
A new beginning, something, something, another try.
And another try.
Something like that, yeah.
Whatever.
I like that I was trying to sound that out.
I'm sorry. See, the Wikipedia page says that his grandfather had hidden the letters from him, but they were
clearly in his mom's purse in a drawer in her dressing table.
She fucking knew they were there.
Maybe this was the last place he suspected anyone would look for them.
I'm furious.
There's a guy in the armouristing competition named Bug Bomb Biob.
What, say again? Bug bomb?
Bug bomb?
Bumb?
Bomb?
Like a like dropping a bomb?
Bug bomb Billy Bob.
That's pretty great.
He's from Texas.
Love it.
The competition is super crowded and very smoky and very rowdy.
And a lot of people are wearing platform kiss style boots.
Why they wear the it's the arm wrestlers wearing those. Yeah, why they wear those? I don't
know leverage. I don't know that that would work. I don't think so. That's the only
thing I could come up with. All right fine. I wonder if that's a real thing. I'm googling arm wrestling shoes. What if it's just glittering platform shoes like Bootsie Collins would wear?
I mean, who knows? Who could say?
Maybe Bootsie's an armwrestler.
Arm wrestling shoes.
No, it's, well, hold on, I would say it's for real.
I see a picture, but I think the picture is a still shot from this movie.
This is where I have the note, Winner takes it all as a good jam. Yeah, great jam. Yeah, it's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's a, it's a th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Who's. Who's. Who's. Who's. Who. Who.

Yeah, great jam.
But yeah, it's a thing, I guess, I don't know.
What?
There was a converse with a giant soul.
Here, I'm on the grip board forums.
User daims posted, have any of you guys used or seen anyone use one or the tall shoes? I think I might make a two and a half inch one. I am only five th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. Yeah. Yeah. thi. thi. th. Yeah, it's. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. th. It it's. Yeah. It's. It's. It's. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. Yeah. th. Yeah. Yeah. th. the. Yeah. the. th. the. Yeah. th. th. the. th. th. th. the. the. th. th. the. th. th. th. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. th. the. th. th. the. th. th. or the tall shoes. I think I might make a two and a half inch one.
I am only five foot eight inch tall, thanks.
Then he posted again the same day.
No one has used a little platform or seen anyone use it.
And over the top I seen that they wore tall shoes.
So maybe again, I don't know.
Then Kill Switch 2-3 says no one really uses platform shoes anymore.
That's a thing of the past.
Oh.
At 5'8 there's not really any point.
If you were short enough that you needed a height boost, they would give you a platform
box to stand on.
I think it's, it seems like it to make people evenly sized.
And then D'Dam says, thanks, K213.
I like to damn. He's got 9006 posts on the arm wrestling board. So, Katie, did you just, you just signed up to the arm wrestling board?
Yeah. You get into it. My name is Snake Arms.
It doesn't make any sense.
Not bug bomb Billy Bob? No, that was taken.
So yeah, it's super rowdy though.
So much screaming, everyone is screaming all the time.
People are so excited. There's like a thing thing really like in the scene where if you look in the background,
there are like reporters, like women in suits and they're writing in pads and craning their necks
to see what's going to happen.
Like, like, this is on the TV in the airport.
This is the biggest thing to ever happen. It's like, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I. Yes, th. Yes, th. Yes, th. Yes, th. Yes, th.? Like... It's so weird.
And then it cuts to like the interview scenes?
Who is interviewing them?
Fucking fantastic. I love every single one of them.
They're so stupid.
Why is any... Why are they being interviewed? Who is interviewing them?
These are our greatest arm wrestlers in America, Katie?
I guess. You're talking the likes of John Grizzly and Bull Hurley.
Yeah.
And Lincoln, Hawk Hawks.
Whatever the fuck his name is.
People in the same scene will add and detract that S from his name.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's inexplicable.
Like in the jail, they call him Hawks.

At the, his name on the thing, on the board,
the tournament board says Hawk.
He calls himself Hawks.
The truck says Hawk?
Robert Loja calls him Hawks.
So weird.
Why?
I don't understand.
Like, just decide.
You're making the camera Someone needs to write fanfic for this movie that he's the worst like secret agent or something that's just real
shitty it like so shitty oh
How many eliminations does it take to get out of this competition? I'm not sure. One you win lose? How many is double double? Double? Don't know? I have no idea. Well, I have no idea. Well, I guess. T, they're? Well, the the the the the the the the the worst. I the worst. I the worst. I have the worst. I have the worst. I have the worst. I have the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. the worst. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. the worst. the worst. I'm. I'm. the worst. the. the the worst. the the the the the worst. the worst. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the worst. Double. Double. Double. Don't know. I have no idea.
Well, I guess they're still having the competition then.
Yeah.
Well, do you think they focus groupe this movie?
And they were like, I don't understand why he's still in.
I don't understand why he loses and he doesn't get eliminated.
Because our man Lincoln Hawks loses once to uh Grizzly John Grizzly. Yeah.
I love the one line where somebody goes, oh, that German guy, that German guy gets his arm
broken.
Oh, I didn't notice that.
Like the fly style.
Nice.
Oh, the double elimination. So you have to lose twice, except, you know, for that time that someone loses once and
loses it.
It doesn't make any sense.
Also, like when he bets on himself, and the guy looks at the woman in the booth, the betting
booth, and he's like, what are the odds on Lincoln Hawk?
I'm not sure.
And she looks and she goes, hock 20 to one, like she just made it up right there, like, ah, mah. Loved it.
So in the interviews, which I had the note, oh man, the interviews,
the first guy that gets interviewed who says,
or maybe not the first guy, but one of the guy says,
my whole body is an engine, and this is the fire plug,
holding up his arm, and I'm gonna light them up.
This is the fire plug? I don't know what a fire plug does. Is it the spark plug?
Is that where we're supposed to?
A fire plug is a fire hydrant, isn't it?
Unless fireplug is an antiquated term for spark plug.
I'm googling that.
I'll let you know.
At least we're learning something this week.
People use to wear platform shoes to arm wrestle.
Okay, a fire plug noun, hydrant for a fire hose or a short stocky person, especially
an athlete.
Maybe he thought his arm was a little guy.
A fire plug images is literally just fire hydrants.
I don't know.
He's going to light him up with it though with a fire hydrant.
I like it calling a short stocky person and a, or an athlete a fire plug.
I like brick shit house myself.
Anyway, Lincoln Hawk loses his first, loses a match.
I guess he's won a couple.
Yeah, he loses to Grizzly, but don't worry, he's not out. Why is he not out? Triple eliminating? No, double. One?
Don't know. Elimination? Non elimination. I love that right before he loses, he's
fighting. He's arm wrestling. He's arm wrestling. He's arm wrestling. John Grizzly, who's smoking a cigar in the sports arena. Oh yeah, well everybody's smoking in there, it's full of smoke.
And then just eats the cigar.
Yeah, why?
Because later he will do something even more phenomenal.
He's just a phenomenal man.
I would love to have watched his movie,
where he picks up his son from military school?
Who looks exactly like him but shorter?
Yeah, I like it. One of loja's lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo's Terry Funk or not, but I'm gonna assume it is. It's Terry Funk. It comes
down and says like Mr. Cutler wants to see you. Yeah. Wherein he goes to the
presidential suite where Mr. Cutler is saying Mr. Cutler offers him $500,000 and a brand new truck to just leave.
Sir he already left You followed him here.
But he knows that Mike is coming.
But it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
He's not looking for him, mind you.
But he knows that he's going.
That's true.
The kid is missing, and he's just hanging out on like the terrace of the presidential season.
He'll find him.
He flew here by himself, so he should should thiiiiiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi.
get here. He'll find him. He's 12. He flew here by himself, so he should be fine. Then he pushes Terry Funk through that. Yeah, it was like finally some fucking grappling with
Terry Funk. Pushes him through like a French door, which appears to be made up also
one. And sugar glass, yeah. Do you ever watch that, um, there's one cactus jack Terry
funk match in Japan where they're just brutalizing it like
they just both end up covered in blood yeah and and I think because they're
assuming the Japanese people around them don't speak English there's like
suplex suplex and just like calling their spots as they're going I don't
think I've ever seen that it's ridiculous I've seen a lot of matches in
Japan where people are full of blood but I guess not that one Terry Funk man he Funk, man, he's so cool. He's still alive. Not dead. Yeah.
He's still like, he's all right, I think. I think he's as far as old wrestling guys go, I think he's all right.
Like, um... Some mobile and whatnot? And not like a lunatic, and not like a bad guy. How could you not be though? Are the concussions that are
getting? Like, I don't know. No medical support? I'm sure they're fine. You just get your bell
wrung. You know it's a good sport if you are worried about concussions? What's that? Armourously.
Apparently not, you get punched in the face all the time. True. Just with the strap, I guess. I love that the one dude is wearing you thuuuuuuuuu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. You thi. I like thi thinin' thin' they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they they're they they they're they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I the theeeeeeeeeeeeeat thuuu. I thu. I thuu. I theeeeeat thu. I they're not they're not they're not they're not I guess. I love that the one dude is wearing an Alka Seltzer t-shirt.
Yeah, I like that a lot.
I like that there's also a convention going on outside the armresting.
And like Duracell is just there.
There's a Duracell booth. Why?
Why? Because they had to cram their advertisements in somewhere.
I guess. All right, so we're getting to the final, right? And Stallone puts on that New York baby tea?
It's like how I would wear a shirt if it was too big and cut the neck off and cut the sleeves off?
That flash dance shirt that he's wearing?
Why is he wearing then? It's a baby tea.
Body building.
And like, how does winning the truck get him custody of the child. I just don't understand. None of it makes any sense.
I'm gonna rip your shit arm off boy. No shit in business there. Also in this point it
occurred to me that someone was commentating this like imagine commentating arm wrestling.
Imagine that being your job. Isn't that kind of what we're doing right now? Yes.
I forgot to mention that throughout the movie,
people in the background are going,
Go over the top!
Oh yeah, yeah.
Over the top.
And you're like, what movie am I watching?
Double elimination?
Double trouble with the barbarian twins.
Would watch.
Also, there's so many so so so so so so there's so there's so there's so many there's so many there's so many there's so many there's so many there's so many there's so many there's so many there's so many there's so many there's so many their so many their so many their so many their so many theirian twins? Woodwatch. Also there's so many refs for the for the
final bout. It's like more than in an NFL game. Why? They definitely look like
dudes and they just pulled it off the street though because the one guy's just got
like big scraggly like cartoon hillbilly beard and like that's an arm wrestling referee
referee because you have to make sure all the rules are followed which is don't let go keep your elbows in the table and don't let go and fucking
fingers off my thumb so hawk wins yeah I mean whatever he knew he was gonna
because otherwise he would straight up be homeless in a slow-mo arm wrestling match. I loved it.
He's so sweaty and Bull is so sweaty and everyone's going,
ro-
They strap their arms together because they're so sweaty that hawks loses his grip and like walks
away from the table. He's, he definitely're so sweaty that Hawks loses his grip and walks
away from the table.
He's definitely let go on purpose because he was going to lose because he's a baby and he'd
already lost once and he didn't want to be doubly eliminated, which it turns out doesn't
matter.
They strap their hands together with a leather.
Yeah, get the strap.
All right, fine. It does not prevent him from going OTT. No. He goes OTT on this
thing. OTT's it. It's also like he, it's being shot in slow motion, but he's also moving
in slow motion, so it's like extra slow lifting his fingers and he lifts each one and he
stretches it to its fullest extent. And then he places each one back down on Bull's hand. And Bull the whole time's going, what, huh, what, no, what?
He literally saw him do that at the diner.
He was there, he watched it happen.
He knows that's his move.
100 times.
And it's like, this man is a lunatic, right?
Like he's talking about flipping the switch and he like he's. Nothing he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says he says. He says he says he says. He says he says he says. He says he says. He says. He says. He says. he says. he says. Nothing he says. he says. he says. he says. he says. he says. he says. he says. he says. he says. he says. he. he. he. he. he. he. th. th. He says. He says. He says. He says. He says. He says. He says. He says. He says. He says. He says. He says. He says. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He's nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing. He says. He says. He says nothing. He says nothing nothing. He says nothing. He says nothing. He says nothing. He says nothing nothing. he says nothing. He says he says nothing. He says nothing. he says nothing. he says nothing. he says he says he says he says he says makes, it just, none of this makes any sense.
May I read that entire interview speech that he gives?
I would like that.
Oh, what do I do is I just try to take my hat
and turn it around?
I just try to take my hat and turn it around.
Sometimes you can't do it.
If you're, especially if you're strapped. And it's like a switch that goes on. He's delivering the speech like he's never been in front of a camera before.
Excellent acting from sliced alone.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
And when the switch goes on, I feel like a leather person.
I feel like, uh, I don't know.
I feel like a truck.
And he points to the truck that's behind him.
Like a machine.
Oh my god. And we see throughout the movie that he, when he turns his hat around, he gets his game face on. Well, you know that because the music goes,
D-oh-
I just, does he turn his hat around for the final bout? I don't recall.
Fuck yeah, he does. Right before he goes, OTT, he turns that hat around, becomes like a machine.
It just doesn't, nothing makes any sense. But his son also does it during the bullying scene when he has to win.
He switches it and becomes like a machine.
Do you think that will work for me?
Like if I turn a hat backwards, I will suddenly be stronger?
I can tell you as me from the late 80s, early 90s where I exclusively wore baseball hats backwards?
Yeah. Oh yeah.
Oh yeah, Molly was a machine.
And what?
Like a little Debbie oatmeal pie eating machine?
Oh, oatmeal cream pies.
Don't say that, Debbie.
OK, so then Robert Loja cries for no reason.
He's impressed by the arm wrestling prowess of Lincoln Hawk Hawks.
I, was he crying? Is it because he lost his grandson?
Yeah.
He, you're gonna have to support this kid.
His father cannot do it.
No, he's literally going to be homeless.
When is he, where is he gonna go to school?
You have to go to school at 13.
There's no state in the union that will allow you to drop out legally. So honks win. And they go out and get in the truck that he just won.
I assumed he signed papers elsewhere.
And I like that it's just in the turnaround of the hotel too at the Hilton.
Some troping around for him.
Yeah.
And I want to see to see where the valley valet it easy on the brakes champ. And so they drive off into the desert.
They've been up all night.
This child has been up all night.
Yeah.
The arm wrestling was at four o'clock in the morning, so it could be live on ESPN 3.
Do you remember when ESPN 2 was just like deep cables and it was like sports?
It was like strong as man.
Yeah, I missed that.
That was fun.
Yeah.
Well, I was gonna say like, I remember watching the,
I guess I was on ABC, but it was like the wide world of sports
and they just showed everything.
Yeah, I love that.
Curling and just saw these, yeah.
Because there was fucking the truck, they drive off into the desert, and they're just kind of laughing with each other.
To which I have the note, that's a shitty ending.
Where's this kid going to school?
Yeah.
His life is over.
He's thrown it all away.
It's been stolen from him.
He didn't even throw it up. Man came like, fucking, the pie, thi. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. And, to. to. to. to. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. That's. th. th. th. th. thin. thin. that's.... that's.... that's.... that's.... that's.... that's.... that's, that's, that's, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th.

That's. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that's thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that's thi. thi. that's that's that's a shitty th know where you're gonna live or eat or go to school, but you
could just love each other, like in this really upsetting way.
That the male id comes down on love, man.
Katie, yeah.
Are you ready to move on to the, get your fucking fingers on vibrating face?
Super ready. Why are you laughing at me?
Because you're so excited to rate this movie.
Nine and a half.
It's wonderful.
It's fucking wonderful and terrible and everything about it is wrong.
Do you know that in my reading about this movie,
everyone involved in it when they would go to see it were super bummed.
Stallone was bummed and he was like he didn't want to do the movie but but the movie.. But they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they th th th th they th th th th th th. th. th. they just the the. Why they just they just they just the. Why they just they just the. Why they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just in it when they would go to see it were super bummed. Stallone was bummed and he was like he didn't want to do
the movie but they just kept throwing money at him until he eventually did it.
Why didn't he do something better then? Like why didn't he make it better?
And the guy who wrote it apparently cried in the theater when he saw it. Because it was so bad. That's amazing. That's almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost almost. That's almost. That's almost. That's almost. That's that's that's that's that's that's that's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the the the the th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the movie. the movie. the movie. the movie. the movie. the movie. the movie. the movie. the movie. the movie. the movie. the movie. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the.

But how much, this
movie is such a bully that it made the guy who wrote it, what do you like your words,
you always write and word boy, and made him cry. But also like what did he think was
going to happen? He saw this movie getting produced. I'm sure it's one of those things, like he wrote it and they're like, no, that page is gone, th........ And, their. And, their. And, their. And, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the movie, the movie, the movie, the movie, the movie, the movie, the movie, the movie, the movie.

exposition out of here.
What do you think would have made this better?
Boxing?
Ha'a'rific.
Because Rocky, written by Stallone,
fucking amazing movie.
Yeah. One of the most inspirational films you'll ever see. Yeah. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th.

What thea. What thea inspirational films you'll ever see. Yeah. I love the
whole series really. I'm not seeing all of them. You should see all of them. I
stopped. I watched them all in one day once. Rockathon. We did a rockathon where
we started them at 10 a.m. and then we went to the theater to see the new Rocky one it came out, which is not great and I would not recommend it. Oh really. I think. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I th. I th.

I've heard Creed is good, but I've also heard that it will rip the tears out of your
face and...
Oh, that's not what I need right now.
No.
I stopped with Rocky at the one where he gets into a fight with.
the one where he guy into a bus. Oh, that's the last one. That's the end of the last one.
You didn't stop with anything.
But I haven't seen Rocky Valpo?
Oh, that doesn't, that hardly counts.
In my opinion, you're talking about Tommy Gunn, Tommy Morrison.
Yeah.
So are we going to year old or 13 year old
V totally gives a movie a 10. Yeah, but but five years. Katie's currently
moving her microphone out of the way so we can arm. I'm just doing it real
slowly so you don't hear it slide. All right are you ready? You're gonna
let me win and I feel like that's gonna be sad. All right ready? Yeah. Oh wait. I got to get my okay. Okay. Oh, I to to to to to get to to get to get my. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Go.
Wait, I'm gonna go over the top.
What did he do it?
That one is just what he is?
You've got to go like this.
He's like go-he-he'-
He's like go-he'-he'-he'- Do it again, do it again. All right now, arm wrestling. That is a lot easier. That's fucking illegal.
That has to be illegal.
How on one did he cheat it?
So put an asterisk next to it.
We just prove that OTT is totally illegal.
Yeah.
You, you're from the, what division?
What division?
the podcast division?
I'm from the maternity division. The little Debbie Ovial Cakes division.
Can we talk about how real quick they should have given those female arm wrestlers a little
more due?
I loved them.
I loved them.
A line.
And they're just like, oh, okay.
Yeah, they didn't show any other matches.
They showed like somebody winning.
They showed like highlight, like, quick boom but no yeah fuck that all right well they were like we got a
cram a woman in this movie so get her in there like we got these ladies from
the wild world of arm wrestling or whatever they just showed up so put him in
oh man is this why we just generally only do horror movies this is what
happens when we don't it's true it was good it was fine we should do a horror
movie next week.
You want to do a horror movie next week?
What should we do?
Let's dip back into a very, very cozy well for us.
What's that?
The John Carpenter Will.
Oh boy, here we go.
Let's watch the fog.
You thought it was going to be the fog. Yeah, not the remake. JLC. Don't accidentally watch the
remake. Yeah. Who's TLC? Isn't Jamie Lee Curtis in that movie? Oh Jamie Lee
Carpenter's middle name? John Lee Carpenter? What is it? I don't know.
Adrian Barbeau, Tom Atkins, Pittsburgh's own. Oh yeah, he's one of our red.
Dawn.
I took a, I got some flag for that on the internet, I feel.
I thought it was being celebrated.
Oh good, I'm making sure.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I don't know, Justin Gray and his snarky behavior.
Justin and Ross both did art based on stuff that we said.
Yeah. So go to our
Facebook page and look at these because they're pretty amazing. Ross's poster for the
John. Yep. I lulled pretty hard at that. And, God bless Ross. Justin did something with
a dawn detergent bottle. Dawn. You can hear both of them in episodes if you want to go back.
Justin did Predator. And Ross did House on Honadil,
which are two of my favorite episodes, really.
They're really fun episodes.
Super, super fun dudes.
Yeah, I don't think you were getting any flack.
I think you were just like...
I didn't mean flack.
I just meant they were laughing at me on the inside. And did you see all the people the people the people the people they they they they they they're they're they're they're laughing.
