  Welcome to the Pop Culture Junkie Podcast. I am Nicole here with my fellow junkies, Olivia, and Shauna.
• 0:34
  And unfortunately this is going to be my last episode with Pop Culture Junkie. I know.
• 0:41
  It's so weird. We're the OGs Nicole. I know.
• 0:45
  I could always come back, but she's just on her jet-set lifestyle. It'll be my last weekly.
• 0:51
  You better come back at least like a couple times. Just invite me.
• 0:57
  Just invite me. And I'll go. There we go.
• 0:59
  Deal. There we go. When you're not on some fantasy vacation, we all have a back.
• 1:04
  I'm lovingly. I know. We've been through so much Nicole.
• 1:06
  And now we started in what 2020? Yeah.
• 1:09
  Over the pandemic. What happened in 2020? I don't know.
• 1:14
  You know, it was weird. I don't remember. I don't remember.
• 1:16
  For some reason I didn't have a job.
• 1:20
  I never left the house. And I answered an ad for podcast auditions.
• 1:26
  I know. It's been a long ride. It's been a long ride. We've been through a lot of
• 1:30
  a lot of co-hosts. Yes. Beautiful four years. It's been great. Do you have any highlight?
• 1:35
  Oh my gosh, she doesn't. No, I did. I just get it. She's like, oh, I really liked
• 1:43
  Fan Fusion last year. Well, that was so fun. That was really fun.
• 1:47
  Was that when I brought you my white claw? It's a finish. It was that two years ago.
• 1:52
  Oh, I don't think so. You were in fan fusion and I brought you my drink and you were like,
• 1:57
  Oh god, I'm going to spend two years ago. So I didn't drink last year.
• 2:03
  Okay, that was two years ago then. That was so fun.
• 2:06
  She doesn't remember that one. She's like, I just, I guess it must have been two years ago.
• 2:10
  Because I blacked out of your album. I don't remember that at all.
• 2:13
  You don't know. I was seeing that like game show. And I couldn't finish my drink.
• 2:19
  And I was like, Nicole, take it. You like took it. Then we were up there and you were like,
• 2:22
  sure. Okay, it's coming back to me a little bit. I loved when we were on
• 2:30
  Brad Perry show. Yeah, that's so fun. We were on TV. Arizona Daily Mix. I love Arizona Daily Mix
• 2:38
  with Brad Perry. Yeah, you too. And I really loved our guests. The one that always stands out to
• 2:44
  me is Whitney Peyton. Oh my god, I love Whitney. I loved her. She was always great.
• 2:48
  She's so fun. Yeah, there's been great memories. I feel like we were in our escape room.
• 2:53
  That was like the first time we met each other. Oh my gosh. Yeah.
• 2:55
  We didn't make it out, but we didn't. We failed.
• 2:59
  I think we had one more clue to do. We would have made it out. When we first started the podcast,
• 3:04
  the producers like, we're like, we were three strangers, three strangers thrown together.
• 3:11
  And that's even happens into an escape room. It'll work out. No, we didn't. No, we literally had one more
• 3:16
  clue to finger out. We had a great time. It's so fun. But we ran out. We had our masks on. Yeah.
• 3:22
  I was good. I forgot about that. Oh my gosh. What? What? What comics? Oh, when we, when we
• 3:31
  comics, yeah, comic X, we felt it was like comic book themed restaurant and they made us order food
• 3:38
  every time. I ordered a bloody Mary every time. I think I got sweet potato fries. I did consider
• 3:44
  about us food. I don't remember what we would order. I think you had order something sweet potato
• 3:49
  fries and a bloody Mary. Yeah. It was always my coach. Okay. Interesting. That's great.
• 3:54
  This sweet potato fries kind of slapped. Was it busy? Yeah. I called you guys to record it
• 3:58
  there. The first three episodes were busy because it was brand new. Yeah. We recorded upstairs and it
• 4:02
  was loud every single time. It was star wars themed. And we had like this tape that we'd block off
• 4:08
  and everyone would be like, do not enter recording in session. Wow. There was a telepath. We was
• 4:14
  right there. We'd have like your people sometimes staring at us. It's like hello. Because you're someone
• 4:18
  with like a really strong stream. Who? Who? Who? Who? Who? Who? You know, the ambiance. The ambiance
• 4:30
  everybody wants on a podcast. Oh my god. And then we had to move into our homes because they COVID
• 4:35
  really. Yeah. It became a thing. And then of course, Olympus Games, which recently,
• 4:43
  kind of went out of business and now they're renaming themselves. Now they're called Godzilla
• 4:47
  Games. I think it's probably the same concept. Like Andrew still goes there sometimes to play cards
• 4:52
  and stuff. Well, in honor of your very last episode, we had to do something special for you.
• 5:00
  Something Nicole themed. We have a stripper. It's the Howard Stern show. It's that guy from NCIS.
• 5:10
  Wait, no, a lot order SVU. It's that guy from SVU. I would die. Wait, what's his name again?
• 5:17
  Chris Maloney. Oh my god. It's Chris. You must have respect on his name. Respect and Marish
• 5:22
  get how to say. Listen, I would prefer her more than him. Yeah. Same. I think we are. Yes.
• 5:30
  God, he's so fine. He is so fine too. They both are. Yeah. Can you imagine we just get them both
• 5:34
  and here to strip you know, then we'd really get in trouble. Who? Everyone. I'd be like hold on,
• 5:43
  keep pause. I have to go Haley. Or we we have to call Haley. We've spent Haley on FaceTime.
• 5:47
  Yeah. She just pops off from the curtain. Yeah. It's Haley's stripper. Sorry, Haley. I love you. I know.
• 5:54
  Yeah. We have something special plan. Go ahead and look at what are we talking? Are you singing me a song?
• 6:02
  We had no we wanted to. What you want us to? We were here today just to say we love sports
• 6:13
  and we love you. So we're gonna talk about sports movies because we really like your
• 6:21
  balls movies. I was gonna say boobies. But I want you to say it's a balls. We like sports balls. You have
• 6:29
  nice balls. You have nice boobies. We love you on the podcast. We're gonna talk about sports balls movies
• 6:39
  and we hope you come back real fast. There you go. This is her transatlantic adjacent way. Sure
• 6:46
  home. You come back soon. Neck hall. You really have lost your transatlantic accent in the last
• 6:52
  month or two and I fear that I just re-ignited it. You did. I think it was while my foot was broken.
• 6:57
  And now that I'm healing. I'm like I'm feeling better. I think that's where we all was. That one bone in your foot.
• 7:03
  That's my transatlantic bone. You pushed me off didn't you? Yeah. So I need to push you off
• 7:08
  another bunk bed. I'm just gonna get you to lose. Let me sit you know when you heard it here.
• 7:12
  Neck hall. We're gonna talk about sports movies. Yes. I know we do. Why don't you start us off? All right.
• 7:24
  If in case anyone couldn't understand the part we were saying. No call of sports movies for her final
• 7:30
  episode. We're gonna talk about our favorite sports films. Here it is. Yes. So I thought for the
• 7:34
  last episode we talk about sports balls. Sports ball. Yeah. So there's not a lot of air. I mean
• 7:43
  there's a lot of airplanes but they're sad. Oh my god. We all just watched airplane. Oh that is
• 7:49
  a great movie. Sure. You can. I am. That's like my favorite movie. I'm telling you you are my dad.
• 7:57
  Like it is so weird. You're still alive so it'd be weird but maybe he went like Voldemort and
• 8:05
  split souls. Maybe in your dad's video. Maybe in the back of my school. Yeah. Yeah. Like the
• 8:11
  movie was that the first Harry Potter movie. Where she runs. Yeah. Fuck I love that movie too and I
• 8:22
  called it 20 minutes in. I was like parasitic twin. parasitic twin. My husband's like what are you
• 8:27
  saying? To me I was like parasitic twin. parasitic twin. Did we just talk about it too? Yeah. We did talk about it
• 8:31
  a lot too long ago. Anyway. Okay. Call and go before we just lose our mind. That's okay. So no we've
• 8:37
  talked about sports movies before such as the replacements and coach Carter but I would love to
• 8:43
  actually talk about our favorite sports movies and it's interesting going back in time because the
• 8:49
  first sports movie came out in 1915. What? And it was a silent film. It was called Right off the Bat
• 8:57
  and it was about a baseball game in progress. I know that that's so cool. Yeah. But sports movies have
• 9:04
  really evolved since then and tell funny or dramatic stories that are really about more than just
• 9:08
  who wins or loses the games. I feel like a lot of sports movies nowadays too are about
• 9:12
  real life experiences about athletes. Mm-hmm. About the athletes story and background on how they got
• 9:19
  to where they are today and their sport or their retirement. A lot more like biographical. Yeah.
• 9:24
  Such as I mean I know this one's kind of controversial nowadays. It kind of got brought up and then
• 9:31
  with the blind side. Yeah. And then American underdog about Kurt Warner. No I'm not seeing that one.
• 9:37
  It was really good but that one talks about his life how he got to where he is. And just stuff like
• 9:42
  that I feel like sports movies now are realistic rather than just random. Hey let's just throw
• 9:49
  this here and tell a story about it. I just watched Challengers which I don't know if either of you
• 9:55
  I want to watch it but it's too expensive to rent. It's not very good to go down. Each $20
• 10:00
  is true right now. I don't make that much money on the podcast. It's just $20 which is
• 10:05
  stream of film. Jokes on you because I do. No but uh Zendaya is the lead in it and it's actually
• 10:13
  tennis movie and if you told me that I would be on here talking about a tennis movie I would
• 10:18
  probably smack to you with the tennis racket. I have a question for you. Yeah and it's a spoiler
• 10:23
  for the film so spoilers if anyone has a much to get into the thing first. I want to know if there's
• 10:29
  actually a threesome. Well you're gonna watch the movie for that. So you're kind of you're
• 10:34
  getting way too ahead of yourself. That's the only thing I know is tennis and threesome from this
• 10:39
  movie and that is it. Okay. Yeah. So the horny one over here jumped the plot. Obviously. So
• 10:47
  the movie is Zendaya and she is about to go pro in tennis and then there are these two pairs
• 10:57
  in tennis. You can play pairs and it's two young men also about to go pro and they both have known
• 11:04
  each other. They've been at like tennis school camp whatever since they were 12 and so they're like
• 11:09
  20 years old. They're very in sync. They're like best buds and they meet Zendaya and they're both
• 11:15
  immediately in love with her. They're both really good at tennis when they have them. And it just
• 11:20
  becomes a story of Zendaya who unfortunately gets injured and isn't able to recover and it's a story
• 11:27
  of her like trying to be with these two guys and live through these two guys with her tennis career.
• 11:34
  It is so good. I'm not gonna tell you on your horny question but they they do some things. They do
• 11:43
  some things happen. So things happen and it's good and challenges like the music is good. Everything
• 11:51
  like the shots, the perspective a lot of people were saying that it was very salt burn adjacent.
• 11:56
  I would say it's just unique and creative and done differently and I really love a sports story
• 12:05
  that takes you along on the thrill and like you feel all of that interangced and emotion and ups and
• 12:12
  downs with it like the injuries and the triumphs. Yeah and I think that's like why sports movies. You
• 12:19
  could never be that person and you never will be going pro or you never will be going pro in a sport
• 12:27
  but you you can relate to those people and I think those are the best best stories but if you're
• 12:32
  gonna ask me what's my favorite sports movie? It's Air Bud. I love Air Bud and then I have the
• 12:40
  sequels like the spooky buddies. Yeah who doesn't love them. I'm freaking dog playing basketball.
• 12:45
  What a good boy. What heck and good boy. I want two men kissing in my sports movies or I want a puppy.
• 12:52
  I either want a dog playing basketball or I want a threesome of Zindaya. There's nothing
• 12:57
  in between and that's kind of just my life to know. I'll apply those to all movies. I like that to just
• 13:03
  experiences in everyday functioning. Dogs threesome was in that. Yeah. You know. Might take it.
• 13:11
  That's not it. Those are mine. Those are my movies.
• 13:13
  I'm gonna be honest and I feel like I've told you this in the call. I really don't like sports movies.
• 13:23
  That's okay. I find them most of them very cringe and like overly sweet to this point of being
• 13:30
  kind of like sappy over emotional like like remember the Titans or that's such a good movie.
• 13:38
  Or boring like money ball. I just that was so boring. Also good. I don't know. I just it's not
• 13:43
  gonna be my first go to if I see like. There's that inspirational. He was down and out
• 13:50
  until he became the coach of the local basketball team and then his wife didn't leave him anymore.
• 13:57
  Yeah. Where are you narrating like every 90s? That's how I picture sports films. It's like
• 14:05
  Ben Affleck is coach Smith. Oh. Then he did it. Affleck play. I don't know. Anyway. I don't know.
• 14:13
  Okay. You think of Ben Affleck. I think of Ben Affleck. Younger the current one.
• 14:18
  Kind of depressed Ben Affleck. Okay. The smoking or cigarette. Yeah. Smoking a cigarette and
• 14:24
  sighing deeply. Are they getting divorced? Yes or no? They might be. But speaking of Jennifer
• 14:28
  Lopez, we called this switch, put this out there. She canceled her tour entirely. She heard that
• 14:34
  episode that we reported. Yeah. She was shattered. Along with the other 50 million people.
• 14:39
  No, she said this is horrible. Why are you doing a tour? Culture junkie dragged me. I need to
• 14:45
  cancel my entire tour. God for the press. I would love that. But yeah, she canceled her tour.
• 14:50
  She canceled her whole tour. Did you hear that? Same. No. Yeah. That might be getting divorced. Okay.
• 14:56
  So I'm curious. Do you like sports documentaries as well? Or do you just like sports like movies?
• 15:04
  I think it depends on the documentary. Yeah. I want it to depend on the sport. Because there's some
• 15:11
  sports I can't watch. Just because it's I just physically can't sit there watching. Like a lot of
• 15:16
  people can't sit and watch baseball. Same. I can. I love baseball. Baseball's one of my favorites.
• 15:21
  Like I can't sit there and watch basketball. I see I could do that. Yeah, I guess it. Everybody has
• 15:25
  like their sport that they think it's just excruciatingly boring. Yeah, like you understand the game
• 15:31
  and everything. But I just I can't sit there and watch it unless I'm physically at the game. I can't
• 15:35
  watch it on TV because I love going to a game. The most important part of basketball is literally
• 15:40
  the last two minutes, but the last two minutes take 20 minutes. Yeah. It's so frustrating.
• 15:45
  It's so frustrating. I think I've just been to so many basketball games. Like I has been used to work
• 15:50
  for the Phoenix Sun. So we got a lot of free tickets to Sun's games and we became diehard Phoenix Sun's
• 15:56
  fans. And we're still Sun's fans. My family was growing up to like when they remember when they played
• 16:00
  the bulls and the finals and like just like my mom and dad's hearts were crushed but they lost.
• 16:07
  And now that you mentioned basketball or mine and me one of my favorite sports movies. Space Jam.
• 16:12
  Oh yeah. That's a sports movie right? Yeah. Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson.
• 16:18
  Michael Jackson. Hey. Michael Jackson playing basketball. Can you imagine a movie about Michael Jackson
• 16:26
  playing basketball with the Loonie Soonzo? Yeah. It's like an acid trip. So if funny enough,
• 16:32
  I'm not a big sports person. Like I don't have a commitment. I like to go to a game. I do
• 16:37
  really like well done sports documentaries. And the last dance which is actually about the goals.
• 16:45
  It's a four-part documentary series. It's so good. Yes. Yeah. Can you mean Michael Jackson?
• 16:51
  It's Michael Jordan and really the whole Bulls team. How they all came together. Built a team.
• 16:58
  I have heard it's good. I thought that was really really interesting. Another shout out is the 30
• 17:03
  for 30 price of gold which is about Tonya Harding. Oh my god. I want to watch it. You need to. When we're
• 17:12
  driving over here, she said she'd never seen it. Tonya. That is such a good movie. And I remember all
• 17:18
  of that going down in the 90s too. Like when she clubbed or hired a guy to take out the
• 17:26
  friend. Yeah. And they did it. Yeah. But the price of gold is really good. Watch that. Then watch
• 17:32
  like Tonya. And I tell you it's so good. It really put Margot Robbie on the map as a producer. I mean,
• 17:38
  she was nominated for Oscars for producing it. And it was really this like indie project that no one
• 17:43
  believed in. But it was it was so good. And so yeah, I would definitely say watch that. And then 30 for 30
• 17:51
  made the OJ made in America documentary series, which is just so good. And I think what all of those have
• 18:01
  is a good like cultural touchstone and what was going on in the world. Yeah. And why it was so important.
• 18:07
  And the dynamics that these players had within that. And and and so I always think whatever they can
• 18:13
  bring it to like a bigger story and a time how it touched the time like the media at the time.
• 18:19
  Yeah. Yeah. And like maybe it was even like villainizing women or you know, villainizing people based on
• 18:26
  their race and all these things. And so yeah, I would say if you've never seen any of those, I love those.
• 18:31
  And I think if you can do a sports movie and you make someone like me who doesn't care about sports
• 18:39
  like challengers never watch tennis, that's how you get a good movie regardless of if it's just a
• 18:45
  sports movie. But I think there's so many good ones like we mentioned coach Carter's a great one as well.
• 18:49
  I like a lot of like I was thinking when we first talked about doing this episode like I don't really
• 18:55
  like sports movies. But then I thought there's so many sports movies that I do like because they're not
• 19:01
  standard like the dream basketball football like bring it on is probably my favorite sports maybe
• 19:08
  because yes cheerleading is a sport. You don't think it is then try to do like a triple back flip.
• 19:14
  Like you know, pyramid toss. But like I love Kirsten Dunn's Eliza Duskou. Jesse Bradford is so
• 19:24
  cute in this movie. Gabrielle Union. I mean, yeah. And it spawned all of those. Seepals which I've never seen.
• 19:30
  No, no. We also discussed earlier whether or not we think dance movies, qualify sports movies,
• 19:36
  but I think it might be a different genre, especially if it's not like a competitive dance film.
• 19:41
  Like I love center stage, save the last dance honey. But that's because I was a dancer my whole life
• 19:46
  so like dance movies. Yeah, yeah, mess with but yeah, I can't bring it on. Yeah, I would
• 19:52
  you competitive cheer. Yeah, I would sure that I could see that or a brink. Oh my god.
• 20:00
  You mix bruh. Yeah, up and suds. Oh my god. Johnny Sue. Yeah, I just thought of that too.
• 20:09
  Perfect. Wait, what's the one where it's the two twin girls in the Disney Channel?
• 20:13
  And it's not really twins, but they're like basketball stars. And they found like just two blonde
• 20:19
  addresses. You find a vaguely like like each other. Yeah, but yeah, I guess I take it back. I love
• 20:25
  Disney Channel original sports movie. Yeah, yeah, they were showing us all of our options.
• 20:32
  They gave us airbud. Whenever we were talking about it, I was like, what if I did high school musical?
• 20:37
  You know, he's on the sports team. He's on the sports team. Yeah, so
• 20:42
  that was some of your other favorites. Oh my goodness. Yeah, this was a hard topic for me.
• 20:51
  Just rapid fire. Yeah, I know I mentioned probably a bunch already on the podcast. They're out
• 20:57
  my four years, but rapid fire. We're going to go working of the year. Great one. Yes, we're
• 21:03
  going to go with draft day. We are going to go with the League of their own. Also good. Oh, good
• 21:09
  choice. Always in the boat. It's so good. What's the one where they're the Jamaican Bob sled team?
• 21:16
  Cool running. Yeah, I love cool running. I love Disney movie. Is it? I think it is. I love
• 21:23
  Disney Channel sports fairies. I love it. Yes, okay. Honestly, stick it. Oh, stick it.
• 21:31
  It's on the sea to play. No, it's such a massive. She's like a juvenile. She looks
• 21:36
  way too high. And everyone's like, I'm a little into this. She's a troublemaker. Yeah. And they're like
• 21:42
  in order for you to not go to jail. Basically, you have to join this competitor. Oh, my God.
• 21:48
  Totally. Okay. Boba. Of course. So she does that. I think if they want America forever from Disney Channel.
• 21:54
  And she has to join like a cheer dance. Are they? Oh, cheer dance teams. That's funny.
• 21:58
  She's the way. I just watched this one. I forgot the name of it. It was on Netflix and it had Dennis
• 22:05
  Quaid. Oh, yeah. I'm actually not like if you would say, you know what? I take it back. It's not a
• 22:10
  bit of an afloak. When I think of inspirational sports films, it's Dennis Quaid. Okay. It's Dennis Quaid.
• 22:15
  And he's just. Yeah. Well, he's a little. I want to end my life right now. So it's Quaid.
• 22:21
  It's Quaid. Dennis Quaid. It's Quaid's in a track. Yeah. Yeah. He's not a South West of
• 22:27
  Lodge. Just saying. No, he can't wait to sit here. Not yet. It's got really nice tea. Yeah. So I can't wait to
• 22:33
  go. But I mean, they still look good. They feel like a nice smile. Yeah. American underdog. I do
• 22:38
  like that one a lot because it's about Kurt Warner. Friday night lights, iconic. Speaking of
• 22:45
  all of the football scenes for Friday night lights were filmed at my high school in Texas.
• 22:50
  Well, they film a lot of movies in Austin. That's true. Yeah. So filmed Bill and Ted's
• 22:56
  excellent adventure in Phoenix. Yeah. Yeah. Nice. That's a lot of good choices. Yeah. Because I know
• 23:05
  you like Adam Sandler. Yeah. He did a remake of longest yard. Yeah. So I do like longest yard.
• 23:11
  I know it's a pretty good. Yeah. I know. It's a very problematic. That one's pretty good.
• 23:16
  Waterboy. Waterboy. Waterboy is really good. I love waterboy. But that's like peripheral sports.
• 23:22
  You know, sports. Yeah. Play that movie. Ball. Yeah. Oh, um, dodgeball. No kidding.
• 23:29
  Dodgeball is probably my favorite. I take that. I take that. I take that. I take that. I take my brain on.
• 23:33
  It's so funny. I love dodgeball. I love dodgeball. I'm so good. I dodge a wrench. You can dodge a ball.
• 23:37
  Do you consider blades of glory and Taladega nights to be sports movies? Nicole.
• 23:44
  She's thinking about it. I'm gonna say yes or Taladega nights because Nascar is my favorite sport. Yeah.
• 23:51
  Very true. Yes. But is it accurate in the slightest in Ask. I think. I mean, a depiction of
• 23:59
  Taladega race. Way yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Because I've been to Taladega. Yeah. Yes. I think
• 24:06
  blades of glory is purely because I just said italia was a sports movie and it's both competitive.
• 24:12
  But I tell you. It is like basic true story. So blades of glory. They're both based on
• 24:17
  true sports. I don't see blades of glory in so long. I don't have to like rewatch it to actually
• 24:21
  give you an answer. Oh my god. We should all go home and watch blades of glory. Just imagine.
• 24:26
  Stitchball but on ice skate. That is true. I get increment and Napoleon Dynamite. I figure skating
• 24:33
  together. Yeah. That's a good idea. That's true. Yeah. Before the controversy came out about this
• 24:40
  movie, I loved the blind side. That was probably one of my favorite. It's very white savoury. But
• 24:45
  yeah. I mean, it's a good story. It's such a good actress. Yeah. I did like that. Tim McGraw
• 24:51
  love him. He's a man. Love him. What else? I mean, gosh, there's just so many to take from.
• 24:59
  I remember that movie called Sugar in Spice from Back in the Day. Oh, what's that? That's a cheer that he's
• 25:05
  by Rob DeBank. Yes. Oh my god. I need to watch that movie. Yeah, she watched that movie. It's so good.
• 25:10
  It's called Sugar in Spice. And it's just like, oh my gosh. Yes. I love that you've seen so much. I had a
• 25:17
  DVD and I watched it all the time. Yes. They had the masks on in the back of the bank and then the
• 25:22
  girl from the B squad is like talking to the police. Everybody watch Sugar in Spice. I've been wanting
• 25:27
  to find the mask and just be that for Halloween. Can we do that this year for Halloween? Yeah. But then
• 25:31
  you have to fully commit to the mask. Oh, shoot. That's true. We're all too pretty to wear. At least with
• 25:36
  the bald cap, you just have the mask on on your hair. And that's when I told you last year when you
• 25:41
  were a scream guy for Halloween goes face as like, you're too pretty to wear a mask. Well, you know,
• 25:46
  that's why I was happy. So, but a lot of it. Now people are into masks. It's weird.
• 25:53
  And people were weirdly into the bald cap. I don't know. Do you know what people are weirdly into?
• 25:58
  Bro, my boot. Yeah. Have I told you this Nicole? No. Okay. We're going on a total segue from it.
• 26:05
  What I had my walking boot on, the amount of fetish pages that followed me on Instagram that were all
• 26:11
  into I had no idea the broken bones, broken bone and like casting. Did you get money? Yes.
• 26:17
  It's insane. I've made like 50 bucks just from people sending me money. There you go. It's so
• 26:25
  happy. I'll push you off that bunk. But now she's been sitting again. And I was like now that I
• 26:32
  posted that like my foot is healed. I like my follower counts the windows are like, she's not hot.
• 26:37
  No, like one literally like got permission to repost you, right? Yeah. So, you know what? I don't
• 26:47
  kink shane as long as it's what consensual adults do. Is your Venmo and me. It's like it's like
• 26:51
  it's your sitting baby. Yeah, that's true. Compensation. Yeah. We'll have to update Brad Perry on your
• 26:57
  your newest development of making money. I do. And you select Brad Perry now. Yeah. I was very
• 27:01
  interested in chanis, random money from that suggesting that that fair is broken foot. Oh, no,
• 27:08
  I wasn't saying that. I think he's just inspired by your hustle. He was never a little side hustle.
• 27:15
  Yeah. No, these are all great movies. Yeah. I'm inspired me to watch some more. I do have another one.
• 27:20
  I just popped in my head. Trouble with a curve with Clint Eastwood. I don't think I've seen that.
• 27:25
  I do love Clint Eastwood. Yeah. It's so so good. I'm trying to think of other sports movies we might
• 27:32
  have missed. I think Airbud is the most important part. Yeah. How did you see the new space jam with
• 27:38
  LeBron? No, because I can't stand him. Really? Yes. Do you tell Nicole? I just don't like him. I think he's
• 27:47
  a big baby. He's controversial. I know. I want to know this beat. It's just I'm from Chicago. So I am
• 27:53
  team Michael MJ Michael Jackson all the way. Chase the go. Yeah. Just kidding. Michael Jordan.
• 28:00
  Just kidding. Michael Jordan all the way. Michael Jordan's the go. I know they're compared all the
• 28:13
  time whenever. But that's not the reason why I'm like just not I don't like him. I just I don't know.
• 28:19
  I just think he's a big baby. I think he just wants everything in his favor. Yeah. He's about like press
• 28:24
  around him. Yeah. And you either really love him or you just like despise him. I'm a death and
• 28:29
  booker girl. Yeah. Love me. I like the book. It's a cardashian. It's part day like that. Oh god. That's right. She
• 28:36
  lives with him. Yeah. Yeah. But so no, I haven't seen it. I didn't see because I just got terrible reviews.
• 28:42
  Okay. I mean that makes sense. I'm a big believer. If it's a remake like I'm not going to watch it
• 28:48
  unless a really die hard fan tells me I should watch it. And even then I'm still a little afraid.
• 28:55
  But yeah, I like to keep things in in the right package and like not redo it or over here. I don't
• 29:02
  know if it was a remake or if it was a sequel. They might have done something called a remake. We used
• 29:08
  Womorow and we played back on the menu. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. Do you think that the Queen's Gambit
• 29:13
  counts as like sports stuff because it's chess. Or is that like a whole different genre?
• 29:19
  I feel like I've trapped myself in the competitive argument. Like cheer is one. Ice skating is one.
• 29:26
  So like if it's competitive chess, I guess. But it's like no. But it's like no.
• 29:29
  But it's like no. But it's like no. But it's like no. But it's like no.
• 29:32
  A beautiful mind category. The Queen's Gambit. The autistic category. Yeah. Well she kind of. She
• 29:38
  is like very smart and like see. Listen. We never say it. Yeah. I would put that in that category
• 29:45
  before I put it in a sports dress for Miracle. But you've got just a lead.
• 29:49
  Is them about the Olympic team, the US Olympic team. Oh yeah. That's the hockey team. Oh my god. That
• 29:57
  is such a good. The mighty duck. Yeah. I was going to say that to you. The mighty duck.
• 30:01
  Miracle is okay. That is such a good like you said like cookie cutter like sports story. But it is.
• 30:10
  It does bring in the ultimate like what's going on in the world. And that is yeah. I remember watching
• 30:17
  that. I think I was in like middle school and it was like I want to be a happy. Like you want
• 30:22
  you to leave a movie like that. Not even though I love the movie. I think the testament of a good sports
• 30:29
  movie is like you want to be that person afterward or like something like that. You're like man.
• 30:35
  If I could just I could just get on that ice. Dude I love Cobra Kai. And it makes me want to do
• 30:40
  karate. There you go. I was in karate when I was younger and I was really good. I was like a few
• 30:44
  belts away from black as a kid. Yeah. And then my family got we couldn't afford it. It was a pool.
• 30:49
  And we couldn't afford it anymore. But I just saw my belt. And I had to sell my belt to put food on
• 30:55
  the table. But like over guys so funny because it's so unrealistic right. They like getting
• 31:01
  karate fights in the mall and at the water park. Crotty Kid movies are kind of like camp sports.
• 31:09
  I think that's it. Yeah. I like a camp. Yeah. I don't like it if it's like inspirational tier
• 31:14
  jerk or I need it to be a little camp. Yeah. And you like a real life story. Yeah.
• 31:19
  I like to learn about the athletes and their stories. And I like to see if there's three
• 31:23
  sums with Zendaya. Yeah. Yeah. Died. Or puppies. Or puppies playing basketball. Yeah. Yeah.
• 31:30
  It's two puppies. Yeah. Three sums puppies. God. That's a little bit. Is there in life? I don't know.
• 31:36
  It's so much fun. I'm still looking for it. But when we figure it out, well,
• 31:42
  hopefully you know we'll keep watching the sports movies and figure that out. All right, Nicole.
• 31:48

• 32:17
  Okay. I'm not going to say it. I'm like, yeah, it's been a really true. Okay. But I'll invite you.
• 32:22
