• 2:27
  Speaker 2: kids film The Sand Lots. So Delo, what nostalgia are
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: memories you hold for this film? This was one of
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: my favorite movies growing up. And actually, when I was younger,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I liked baseball a lot more than I did, and
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I think it's because of this movie. My dad and
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I would always watch this This is like our go
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: to and he'd always like, we'd hit each other with
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: quotes from the movie, just randomly even and he'd say, like, oh,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: what's this from? We both know what it's from, but
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: it's just something we connected over. And I absolutely love
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: this movie. And cool thing is recently my three year
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: old daughter just decided she loves this movie. Oh great,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: So I watched this movie like twice a week right.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Now, passing the torch. Yeah, yeah, Andy, how about you.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I didn't see the movie House in middle school, which
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: is crazy because like I watched Angels in the Outfield.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year those two movies are amazing. I
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: liked sports movie like I liked The Mighty Ducks two,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: which if I had to pick either between this or
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Mighty Ducks two, I don't know what i'd pick. Those
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: are my two favorite movies. I like kids sports movies.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: But similar my daughter's favorite movie when she was younger.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: First one was Beverly Hills chiuaha, the George Lopez Vehicle.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: And then like when she was like four or five,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: she watched Sandlot for the first time.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Loved it.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: She goes, hey, can I take this DVD to my mom's.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, go ahead, So she like wore that out,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: but no, great movie. I love this movie makes you
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: feel good.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah for me. I I'll preface this whole
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: episode of the fact that I just despise baseball, Like.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I hate watching it.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I don't follow it. I think it's boring as hell.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I sucked at it as a kid. I didn't like
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: playinget as a kid. But I love any media that
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: romanticizes baseball. Oh sure, So I mean not just the Sandlot, like,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: there's plenty of Like I don't know, Hey, Arnold's done
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: a great job. Oh yeah, But I mean this is
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the epitome of like kids films. Like I personally like,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I think this is like the kids film and I agree,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: uh yeah, and I would even like consider it as
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: a as like even a top ten movie in my
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: of all time.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, I agree, for sure.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: It's just so good and it's just so memorable and
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: quotable and we'll get into all that too.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: So and I think too, since they made it in
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the nineties about the sixties, it doesn't feel aged, you know,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: so I think it's timeless. Yeah, and no matter when
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you watch this movie from now to fifty years, it's
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: still gonna feel it's good, and we feel good movie,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: so it's good.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Agreed.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Cool.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Well, we've been doing our movie reviews where we just
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: sort of break it down into categories. I mean, we
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: assume that you've seen this film and it doesn't make
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: a lot of sense to just review it scene by scene.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: So yeah, we I got a few categories to go over.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: We got some other fun things planned for the episode.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: First, let's just talk about the box office a little
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: bit on how successful it was. So the film grossed
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: four million and it's opening weekend, and then a further
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: thirty two million through other ticket sales figures worldwide for
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: like VHS and DVD sales are supposed to be estimated
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: around like seventy six million. Oh wow, so.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Made like one hundred million dollars roughly. Yeah, yeah, I
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: mean I don't know. I don't know how.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I mean DVD sid it didn't come out until DVD
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: till much later, So I mean, I you know, overtime
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: is that a lot?
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: It's now streaming on Disney Plus if you're interested in
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: watching it yourself, which I did yesterday.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did too, exactly last night, you know.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: And with with the DVD and VHS release, it became
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: more of a cult favorite, more more so than the
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: success that saw the box office. The film was released
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: on April seventh, nineteen ninety three, which is kind of
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: weird to me, like because it's like a sort of
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: a quintessential summer film. I just wonder if it would
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: have done better if it was released in the versus
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: versus in the spring. Yeah, April it is a weird time,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: not even like spring break time either. So did movies
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: stay in theaters longer than though? Because maybe it was
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: there for most of the summer. I don't maybe I
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: don't know though.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: But with thirty five million, I feel like it is
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: not a huge success. So April, May, June, Yeah, that'd
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: be a long time to be I don't know.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. Huh.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, weird.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: That was weird time. Yeah, because like Home Alone was
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: in theaters like through February or March or something, which
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: is crazy.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And then it was.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Written and directed by David Mickey Evans, who is also
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the narrator of the film. He started writing action thriller
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: movies in the eighties shortly after graduating film school. But
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I found us calling to do so to speak to
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: do writer family films. He was actually the highest paid
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: screenwriter during his this peak, which is kind of crazy
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: in the nineties.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Do you know what other screen ratings he did?
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: You know? He sold the script for The Sandlot and
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: ra Radio Flyer for a million dollars each. Oh geez, yeah,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: good for him. Yeah, although the Sandlot would be his
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: biggest success. Later on he did movies like First Kid
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: and Ed I'll both were bombs for him, and then
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: switched over to like National Lampoons, like kind of like
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: b releases and so he's he sort of fizzled out
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: pretty quick.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Isn't the one with the monkey and Joey Tribriani?
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thatt lebl Yeah, Okay, I was trying to figure
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: out that one, and then you said the other one
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: was first kid?
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Is that the one with the President's son and Sinbad? Uh?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: That's a great movie, though.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say that movie I really enjoyed.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe as a kid, but like box office wise,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, well no, it's.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Not like I want to turn that on today, but
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I you know.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the film was also co written by Robert Gunter,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: and I looked him up and it looks like he
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: only is ever credited for films that he does with.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: David Mickey Evans.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: But I noticed this the in the when I was
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: watching it last night, at the end of the film
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: where there's the Dodgers scene and there's all the names
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: on the back of the player's jerseys.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: One of them as Gunter. So that's oh nice, Well
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: nod to him. I hope he got that jersey, I would.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Assume, so right, right, yeah, that'd be cool. Uh So
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: let's go, uh, let's review the plot. So in the
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: summer of nineteen sixty two, Scott Smalls and his family
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: moved to the suburbs of la where, in trying to
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: make new friends, comes across a group of kids playing baseball.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Guys, is Scott Smalls?
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Hi?
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well he's gonna play with this because he makes nine.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: So now he got a whole team.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: We're wasting time. Let's go to the cello, Danny. It's
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: not a lot, Wanning. Didn't you bring Denny?
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Just eight of us and he makes milling? Yeah? Yeah,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: so with my sister, but I didn't bring her. With
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: nine guys, we got a whole team.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: The leader of the group, Benny, encourages him to join,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: but Scott is reluctant as he doesn't know how to play.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: But Benny is persistent and soon Smalls joins the gang
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: and becomes a decent player, and as they become friends,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: they get into numer shenanigans, including faking drowning to kiss
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: a lifeguard crush at the community pool, playing against the
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: rival team, and eating chewing tobacco at the state fair.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: The largest conflict revolves around Smalls using his new step
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: dad's babe Ruth signed baseball to play ball with when
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the sand lot kids don't have one to play with
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: when it's hit over the fence into mister Myrtle's yard
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: and the home of the Beast, a dog associated with
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: the local urban legend. You in trouble, aren't you, son?
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Well that was my stepdad's ball. I took it
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: without asking.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: George Sign George Herman.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Ruth, Yeah, I take it back. You're not in trouble.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: You're dead where you stand. The boys will spend their
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: summer trying to advise plans of getting it back in
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: one piece. They try simple solutions like grabbing the ball
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: with a stick. They assemble multiple vacuums to suck it up,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: suspending one of the boys by a rope over the fence,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: and an erector set catapult, all of which backfire, and
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: in the climax of the film, Benny decides to jump
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: the fence and get the ball himself, and trying to escape,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: the Beast jumps the fence and chases Benny throughout town,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: and when returning to the sandlot and hopping the fence,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: the fence falls on the Beast, pinning it to the ground.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Smalls takes pity and convinces the gang to help the
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: beasts and upon it freeing it, the beast licks Smalls
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: and turns the dog. It's pretty friendly. Because the fence
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: is damaged, they must meet the owner of the beast,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: mister Myrtle, who they learn is blind. He was also
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: a former pro baseball player who's a ball for Smalls,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: one signed by the entire nineteen twenty seven Yankees team.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: To make it up to his dad, they agree to
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: meet him and talk baseball regularly for damaging the fence,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: and the Beast becomes the team mascot. Over the years,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: the gang slowly drifts apart as life goes on, but
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: eventually Benny Rodriguez goes on to be a professional player
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: for the Dodgers, with Smalls working as a Dodgers commentator.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: The film ends with Benny playing for the Dodgers, Small's
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: calling the play as Bennie steals home to win the game,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: and the two meat eyes with the thumbs up and
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: to show that time is past, Bennie has a beard. Yeah,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: So you know, that's just a real basic synopsis of
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: the film, breaking it down a little bit, Like, I mean,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: structure wise, there's no like slow moment of this film,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: like it's real fast paced.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Goes by quickly. I feel like there's really no plot
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: until the end of the movie though, because at the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: beginning there's just it's just things happening ye yeah, which
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: is fun, which is great for kids movie too, because kids,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: you know, you probably don't want like a really confusing plot.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: You just want to show all these other kids are
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: having fun because kids like fun.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, we don't actually like get a plot until
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: even after the scene where they throw up at the fair. Yeah,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: when there's a lot going on. But then it's like
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: the lifeguard scene, there's there's small's meeting the gang, getting
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: used to it, they play the rival team, getting a
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: nose dad. Yeah.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: At the beginning when he goes you know, I'm still
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: getting used to my stepdad. I felt like there was
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: real It seemed like there's real tension between Dennis Leary
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and that little kid actor. It was like they were
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: doing great. I felt like there was tension there, like, yeah,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: he just really was dismissive of him, like he did
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: not give a damn about that kid. He's like, will
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: you teach me to play catch? Yeah?
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, and then he's just standing in the doorway
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: looking at him. He's just like looking back at him,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: like now what. He's like, oh, sorry and leaves. Do
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: you think that he threw the ball on purpose to
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: hit him in the eye to be done well? He said,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: you should watch out for that curve. The kid can't
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: play fucking catch yet you're throwing them curve balls. Of
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: course he did it on purpose. It was his third
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: catch ever. Yeah, he was getting out of doing it.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: He's like, how can I end this misery? This kid's
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: fucking rolling me the ball. I better just hit him
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: with a knuckle curve and bust his eye, slap a
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: piece of meat on it.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: When I was trying to teach my daughter how to
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: ride a bicycle, doing this weird thing with the right
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: foot the entire time, and it was driving me crazy,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I was like, hey, Brooke, have you ever thought about
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: maybe trying to skateboard? I kind of felt like the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: stepdad I was like.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I was like, if that was me, I would have
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: been like, hey, do you want to try basketball? Get
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: you out here. I do have one issue with the plot,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: and it's kind of obvious. So we're talking about them
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: playing catch, why isn't he grabbing.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: That baseball instead? Of the Babe Ruth ball. Yeah, like
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: there's got to be another baseball. He literally possesses another
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: baseball it hit him in the face.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, unless he travels with it, yeah, or did he
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: like he was so scarred by that he threw it
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: in the garbage that day.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he definitely had another ball the Babe Ruth. Yeah,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: one was not you know, unless you know, I'm thinking
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: just for to keep the story going. Maybe since he's
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: a kid, he couldn't find it and he goes, oh, whatever,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I know where there's one.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I guess maybe, but I don't know. He went playing.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: He kind of blined it right to it. Yeah, he
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: was like, I'm going to use.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: This ballot any other options at all. Yeah. Yeah, I
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: mean I think if you break it down, like there's
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: a scene where like uh where yeah, yeahs being lowered
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: to grab the ball, Like why doesn't he immediately? Yeah whatever.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: But yeah, you know, so between the start and where
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: we get the actual like Beast rival, you know, scenes going.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Obviously it's to build.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Characters, so you know, they're introducing the cast to each other.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: But I thought they did great, Like immediately, like you
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: get to know these characters.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Everyone has like really good chemistry.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah they killed Yeah, yeah, anyway, Scott, that's Timmy and
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: Tommy Timmins, Mike quince, Pelladors, Alan McLennan, we call him yeah, yeah,
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Bertram Groover, Weeks, Kenny denon Is, and Alton Porter.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: We call him Ham.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Guys is Scott Small's Hi.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Benny was cool.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: But Ham is a great actor. Oh great actor, not
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: just for a child actor. It was like and he
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: was awesome, flawless.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: It was great. Yeah, yeah, yeah they Yeah, they did
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: a fantastic job with the casting. We can get into
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: that in a second. So yeah, so we get all
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: these cool disadventures. You know.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Obviously the lifeguard scene is iconic.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: I guess when leading up to that scene, the actor
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: plays Squints, was like bugging the director every day like, hey,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: when are we doing the scene?
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: He knows what's coming. Oh, that's awesome.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: And when they finally went to get like to record
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: the scene, he told squintce you keep your tongue in
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: your mouth ready to go?
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, no, that's a that's a weird scene. And
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: then I was thinking, too, I mean, this is kind
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: of whatever.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: But it was sixty three, right, sixty two would they
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: have let the black kid in the pool.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Then, yeah, I mean that was one thing I was
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: wondering too.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know it sounds awful, but that's how
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: it was. I mean it is in l A right,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: you know, before the Civil Rights Act. I think though,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: so it's like ye know, yeah, but I know they're not.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: It's kids were, and like they could have easily gone
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: like the remember the Titans route, you know, to like
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: do a film like that with racial tension. But I
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: know the cast is pretty diverse, which I thought was great,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: but yeah, you know, it's lightharted kids film.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Maybe there until then.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: One scene, yeah this man moment.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: He's deep ship.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: And then like you know, the beast scenes are great
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: like typical kids film, like you know, cheesy music while
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: they're like doing these funny inventions.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: And and I like how everything's exaggerated too, because I
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: think when you're a kid, in your mind, everything's exaggerated.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: So until you actually see the dog, it's all huge,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: the mouth big up intercepts the ball that's going over
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: the fence like the size of a shark.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, even like Squints's storytelling, and I think it's like
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: such good writing.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: They give him the dog of Fred Flintstone Bone. It
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: can't get through the doorway of that trailer. It's huge.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: I just love that.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I just love that when he's telling the story, like
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: there's a couple of things like one's twenty years ago yeh,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: but it's his grandpa that's like just an average adult,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: so like he doesn't understand the timing of it, which
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: is really funny. And then like describing like how many
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: people did the beast killed, he goes like, m's been
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: like one hundred, one hundred and seventy two. Yeah, just
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: the biggest leap you could possibly Yeah, so it's like
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: perfect like kids imagination and storytelling.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I think they did that really well.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Like it's it they captured what it feels like to
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: be a kid, especially in the summer, playing baseball with
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: your friends.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: And then you know, obviously like this obstacle of like
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: this really scary dog when in fact it's not right,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: you know, so no badass treehouse Like yeah.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Goes like he killed people.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: And he liked it or something like that, like bones
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: in all.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: No.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they did a great job of actually making it
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: feel like a kid's you know, kids, like especially when
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: you remember when I first watched that movie, those kids
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: didn't look that young because I was like, I was
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: like in sixth grade, I think, And now I'm like, man,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: they're just like children. It's crazy.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Well you saw it at the age they were, right, Yeah,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: so when I saw it, they were all like older
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: than you know.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: They're really cool too. Well yeah, I mean even now
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I thought Benny was cool. Was I have some plans
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: to talk about that?
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Overall, the plot was good. I was a little confused
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: at the end because so it seemed like the blind
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: dude played mister Myrtle. Yes, but they didn't let again
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know why keep going to this, but they
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: didn't let black people into what like forty five.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Well, I feel like he's wearing like one of the
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: like Negro league jerseys. Yeah, yeah, because he's not with uh,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: he's not part of the Yankees, right, Oh, I miss that. Okay,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: So so it's possibly what it played in those leagues.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: And I was like, you know how they have like
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: the program like for NBA. I was like, maybe there's
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: a program back then, and so Babe Ruth was playing
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: with people of color. I was like, I don't know
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: if that's I don't know if that was a thing
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: or not though, but yeah, okay, that's a good point.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: I mean that at that age though, at that time,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: like a kid's not really gonna understand for sure, the
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: racial tension between baseball at that time. Yeah, but no,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: just for me, I was like, how did they play together?
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Because I was like, I don't know, Yeah, okay, I
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: thought we can talk about this with a casting But
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: like I like the mister Myrtle thing, like they build
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: him up as this like really mean person who like
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: housing this dog and musing it against it, like hurt
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: people or kill people, and then of course they meet
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: him and it's like totally great and like, yeah, legitimately
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: awesome with that old man on the regular for sure.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Well in the story too, is like an old me
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: and white dude. So then you see James will oh wow,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: that completely.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: That's not what I was amassing.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Because they don't even know him, Like they don't see him.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: What do you mean in the flashback of the white
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: dude in the Squintsy's story, the owner of the dog
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: is white. Well, I mean it's in black and whit
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: you can't tell. I didn't think so, but okay, I'm
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: pretty sure he's like an Italian dude like Bob Hoskins. Yeah,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: and then you know, like obviously, like it all works
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: out in the end, like the you know, dad stepdad
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: gets the better ball and they they they're still friends.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: The Beast is down their mascot. But I do like that,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: like they didn't like go the route.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Of like and they remain best friends for the rest
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: of their lives, like they talked about like they you know,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: this is how life is for kids growing up. Like
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: you lose friends, you lose relationships, and one of them.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Just completely disappears. It's like plot lines like I never
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: found them again. What if like he just disappeared though,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: figured something out to like go back in time. That
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: could be Sandlot four because.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Sandlots.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Have either of you seen either of the other Sandlots?
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: I haven't. I haven't either. They're both written by the
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: same guy.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I just it won't be the same. I don't want
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: to do that to myself.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: It turned out to be better though this master. I
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: have to tell everyone that what do we do? You
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: quit your job? Well, imagine we'll like revisit the story
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: as we go through, like quotes and lines, but anything
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: else about the plot before we jump in something else. No,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: I just it's weird.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: I've never seen a movie where the plot doesn't start
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: till the very end of the movie. But it works
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: because you get to meet them in their fun events
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: the whole time. Like I love when they play with
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: the tigers and they end up just beating their asses.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Actually good, Yeah that was good.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: They smoked them. Yeah. Yeah, it wasn't even close. Yeah,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: but no, it was great.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I love I love the plot.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was perfect, all right, perfect plot for kids movie.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for a kids movie.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I yeah, I love the balance of sort of like
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: kids perspective and like kind of like strangeness and everything
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: blown out of proportion. I think the as far as
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: like the only thing that I didn't like care for
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: after rewatching it recently, even though like as a kid,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: like you liked the scene, but I thought the chase
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: scene was just like really out of like style of
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: the whole story.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: You know, It's like it gets very slapsticky and like
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: it's extreme. Yeah yeah, dog going through the movie theater
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: screen and stuff. Yeah, like the like the guys holding
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: the cake, Oh my gosh, oh oh yeah, that cake yeah,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: you know, so it's like it just seemed really out
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: of place, and they just had a July fourth barbecue
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: and they're running through how many barbecues does that town?
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Well, what I want to know is like why do
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: they have like catered chefs? Those guys are wearing them
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: fancy and there's two of them and they're all like
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: dialed in one if that was a wedding.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Well, the cake says like Founder's Day parade or something.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's right, it's like some.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Weird event town event.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're there at the fourth of July, Like maybe
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: they're that's just like these guys stick, they just hang
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: out in the neighborhood and they show up and make
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: big ass cakes. I just thought like it really stood out,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: like from how the whole style of the film is.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: And then that one scene is like this yeah and
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: then yeah, And when I was watching it, I was like,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: it's still going on. It's kind of long. Do they
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: just need fillery? I don't know how long? Is it
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: like an hour and a half? Yeah?
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, bad.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: And it goes quick because it's so like there's no
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: like slowing down. It just goes The cool thing with
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: the plot though, is they do kind of like.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Plant the seed early. They're like, we got into the
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I got him into the biggest pickle.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: We've ever you know, seen or whatever.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, they do say pickle like an normal amount.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I wonder if, like, as he's writing this, like
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: my favorite thing about baseball is a pickle favorite. Yeah.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: I love Reverence cool. Well, let's move on to the
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: cast because we've kind of briefly touched about some of
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: the actors and that, so I'll just listen these off
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: real quick. We have Tom Gary as Scott Small's, Michael Terras,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Mike vitar as Benjamin Uh, Franklin Rodriguez, Patrick Grenn has
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Ham Uh, Chauncey the Party is Michael Squintz, palladoraes, Marty
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: York is Alan Yeah, Yeah, Brandon quint Adams is Kenny
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Denuna Is, Grant Gelt as Birch from Grover Weeks, Victor
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Diamanti as Timmy Timmins, Shane.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: This is when you get like non you know, famous
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: kids actors, weird names.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Shane obed Zinski as Tommy repeat Timmins, Karen Allen as
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Missus Small's, Dennis Leary's Bill James Earl Jones is mister Myrtle,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Mary Marlee Shelton as Wendy Peppercorn, and Art Laflora as
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Babe Ruth. Those just a more notable name or most
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: notable characters.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: So, you know, I do like we kind of briefs
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: on this a little bit, but I do like the
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: diversity of it, which is, you know, for nineties media
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: isn't always the best, but you have kids who are Latino,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: kids that are black, and then.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, they could have talked on like
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: racial tensions at the time, like remember Titan Style, but
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: it just wasn't really meant to do.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: That, and so I'm glad they didn't. I don't you know,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I don't think everything always has to be like a
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: learning lesson, you know what I mean. So I'm glad
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: they didn't. It's just fun just you know, don't think
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: about it for a little bit.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: You know. It's not like they're trying to change the
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: world or anything.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Right, great casting overall, though, I mean they're kids, so
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: of course not be the best acting. But we talked
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: about a little bit ago the great Handbino. Yeah, ever,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: like when he was in the pool scene and when
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: he's like trying to hit on the girls.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: It was just great.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: He felt like so much swag. Yeah, it was like
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: a little kid.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: It was like a yeah, great acting as a kid,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: and now like he steals every scene for sure and
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: delivery of everything. Like I think my favorite, my favorite
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: scene that he does is when the tigers show up
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: at their at their sandlot, like hit him going from
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: like so happy to immediately piss and he like throws
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: his glove down. He storms at him, like the stuff
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: he gets on his face. It's very like little Pete Esk,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: which was reminded me of it.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Like it was like, man, if they really.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Wanted like a name, they could have gotten Danny Tamborella
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: to do it or something. But he did great, and
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: I like, I think my favorite segment of like the
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: whole movie is that scene where like those kids show
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: up they have like the insult off and then they're
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: when they're playing like him and him catching and oh yeah.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and I want to start using this. He
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: calls the kid a pee drinking crap face.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I love I was I laughed out loud, drinking.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Crap when the other kid calls him a puss liquor.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I'm like, that's gross. Was the weird thing about that too,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: is the Tigers. Uh so they they played the next day,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: so they had the insult thing. The next day they played,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: but they were wearing their uniforms both. I had a
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: question about this. Do they just roll Do they roll
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: around together in their uniforms? That's the goofiest thing I've
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: ever seen in my life.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: What if? Oh, okay, here's the scene.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: They are the kid version of the Baseball Furies okay, Warriors,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: and then they got beat and then they changed their
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: name to Baseball Furies because they were so mad.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: They got beats so bad, like.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Sharks and Jets.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I was wondering that too. It's like, it's summertime.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: You're wearing baseball uniform, which is already going to be
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: pretty warm, and then you're wearing lettermans as well.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: What are you doing in the sixties, It's probably like wool. Yeah,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: it's the hoddest outfit polyester. Yeah, like like their moms
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: like clean it every day for him, right, Yeah, you.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Know that they's smelling rough if they're sweating every day.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's just two days we've seen, so we
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: could just assume that that's maybe they only own those.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe they have more than hopefully more than one
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: pair of each outfit, you know, yeah, alternate.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: So I think of Doug Funny's closet.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, this had this This whole thing kind
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: of reminded me of like a really good Doug episode,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: like oh sure, yeah, because Doug likes to blow everything
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: out of proportion and then like it's all about like
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: you know, friendships and learning and that kind of ship.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it has like a Doug vibe. But let's
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: go down the list. So obviously Ham's cast.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Perfectly, like the kid kills it and every scene he's in.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know how he didn't become a bigger star.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: That's one of my questions. Like I would have expected
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: him to because he was good.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I thought he'd be good. Yeah, because he was also
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: in the soccer one Big, which.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Is awesome, and he hallucinates in that and he's coming
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: at him when he's the goalie. Yeah, but yeah, I
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: would have figured that he would have had more success
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: for sure, because he's just dial in. Like how he
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: didnt How didn't he get a series like It's Kids,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Comma or like shortly like, well, I guess would be
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: a little bit later when he's like it in his
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: early twenties. Why isn't he the goofy best friend in
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: every rom com? Yeah, that's true because he looks exactly
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: the same now right right he does.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: It's it's abnormal like and if you think about how
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: good he was acting as a child, by now he
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: must be like de niro ass because getting better with
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: lewis what.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he can play an orange haired Abraham Lincoln orange.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: I thought Tom Gary plays Scott Scottie Smalls was cast perfectly.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought he was great.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: He did good. Yea, he did really good. Yeah, he
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: sold the not being able to play really well. Yeah,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: And like he's his his whole character development. In the beginning,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: he's like he's kind of like nerdy, you know, he's
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: into science and stuff. And they do great, like in
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: the way they like style of his hair and like
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: he's very like prim and proper and like neat.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: And that's funny because I'm on the first scenes. I
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: was watching it and I was like, God, I love
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: the hair because his hair and Dennis Leary's hair hair
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: on point.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: But when I get that's why I like that they're both. Yeah,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: he did fantastic. I mean, we'll go down the list,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: like everyone's cast perfectly. Like, so Mike Guitar as Benny
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: is so cool that all God, he's serious, he's like
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: the true leader, like he embodied all that.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was the one, like because he's such a
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: good looking guy.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: I thought, and he did really well that he would
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: have blown up bigger than any of them. If, like
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: you would have told me that one person from this
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: movie blows up, who's it gonna be? I would have guessed.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Benny and he like he was in D two. But
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know him and anything else. So those are
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: my two favorites. I wonder if he's in any other
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: movies if I watch him, like this is a great
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: sports movie, sports movie, and then uh oh but really
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: quick with Benny, he's so like he he's so caring too.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's fucking perfect. Yeah, like he just he
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: cares about everybody. Do want them to get picked on him?
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Like this can get any cooler and nicer? Like geez, yeah, yeah,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: he's sort of the perfect person.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It also steals every scene as Chauncey Lapardy is squints,
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: he had like a Melcholi culkin vibe.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I felt like, you know, I could see that for sure.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: It's like how how he delivered his lines and home alone,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: like like Squint's like really had that kind of vibe
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: going on, you're really going for it.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: But like obviously Squints.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Is great, like everything is exaggerated and when he does,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: like the way he tells stories, the way he delivers.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: His lines and insults and everything, like the kids are great. Yeah.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Another great thing with this movie too, is like the
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: background dialogue they're all having and Squintce has a bunch
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: of it, which I like too. Like there's one part
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: where he goes, uh, hurry up, my clothes are running
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: out of style, and then some other kid goes, man,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: your clothes have been out of style or something like that.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that's really good. But no, then
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: they felt like legit kid kid friends.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: I guess yeah, and he was, yeah, you say that,
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: like they got along pretty well, I guess. Outside of
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: the thing, there's a story that all the boys snuck
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: out of like the set and they went and saw
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: they snuck into Basic. Oh that's funny. So it's just like,
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: you know, like really goes into the Shenanigans of like
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: what they're getting into and the field's super cool translates
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: in real life, you know, like they obviously like got
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: along and did you know, did stuff together.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: So that's really cool, all.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Right, you know. Other than that, though, like everyone, I
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: just I don't don't know if we need to break
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: down every character, but like obviously those are the probably
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: the foremost memorable.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: But like, you know, I love the I love yeah.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like he's just like a really you know, quirky, sneaky,
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: kind of like sly kid.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: He looks like he could be a tough kid too. Yeah,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Like we have Marty crazy about him though. Is he
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: died for a little bit and came back so he
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: decided to get an acting Marty York is his name.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: He decided to get it acting and he was like
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen because he got a really bad car accident
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: from leaving a set really late one night, and he
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: was asked, what happened when he dies? He goes again.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but he goes up for I saw
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: like a staircase leading up to stars. But then I
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: was revived crazy trip, yeah, and that was like super low.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: He's like a bodybuilders, really really.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw them all because they did like a
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: thing with the Dodgers a few years back. Yeah, that's
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: really cool. It's weird how they all look. Yeah, right,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: the adult characters I thought were cast well that you know,
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering, like, what the what the consensus was with
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Dennis Larry playing that role at that time.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Because he was pretty especially for the nineties, he was
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: pretty like hardcore comic, pretty raunchy.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was pretty raunchy.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I wonder how many people are like whoa,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Like that's crazy and he does really well.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, delivers are great, you know.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: But he was in that Dumbo Drop, right, wasn't he
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: in that? Yeah?
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: That came out shortly after this.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so weird that he was like doing nineties kids.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: The guy did the score for this also did Dumble Drop.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Oh man, I mean it's more than I've ever done.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: But that's like, you have to be honest, like his eulogy, Actually,
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: we'll go into it. He actually has a pretty good
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: body of work. Okay, it's not just this and Dumbo Drop.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: And then I I really loved I guess the kids
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: actors were really excited about James Earl Jones because he
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: think Darth Vader and so, uh he was amazing. Was
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: in this delivery comforting? Yeah, like it was great.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: He was awesome.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: When he says, I crowded the plate with the strike
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: zone would almost disappear.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just hate that, man. I love that. Yeah,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: yeah he was.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: He was amazing, and he had a good attitude for
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: getting hit in the head with a ball and going blind.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: He's like, well it happened, Yeah, still be pissed all
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: these years later, bitter right, yeah, yeah, there's two ways
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: to go about it, right, he needs to be better.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: You can just accept it. And then he was he
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: knew he was crying on the plates.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, but crazy. He was a few years
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: before this, he was in Field of Dreams and so
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: was what was guy played Babe Ruth?
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: He is also in Field of Dreams.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: I've tried to watch Phil Dreams once. I couldn't get
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: there it.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Oh that's disappointing. But I think I was like that
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: drunk or something. I can't remember, but I was like,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: what the fuck is going on? I was like, boy,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: he was he was cast perfect as babe.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: I loved it.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: I thought that was great. I mean, he didn't really
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: look like baby Ruth. But so I remember growing up, yeah,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Babyruth or especially in the sixties, you only saw rare footage,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: so I mean, the kid wouldn't know exactly, and I
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: guess I had a picture.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I thought I did great, though, he did really good.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: And then I think, uh, the guy who plays Benny
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: when he's in the pros is actually the guy Benny's
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: older brother.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: In yeaheah way older, seems like I unless they made
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: him look older because he escially like forty at the
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: times like that, and they said it was like the
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: end of his career. Yeah, yeah, probably around thirty eight.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: The mom, though, she was an animal House and I
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: loved her in Animal House and I thought she was
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: super smoking an animal house first scene of this one,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: but but the last couple of scenes that she's in,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: I'm like, man, she's really hot.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: Like the mom in this movie is that it kind
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: of weird that like none of the kids had an
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: interaction with each other's parents, Like you think at some
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: point maybe Benny would have met Small's mom.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, at some point, yeah, I mean, and maybe
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: they did, you know, it just wasn't. I don't know.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: I just thought that might be something that they would
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: put on screen, like a scene where like he's invited
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: to dinner or something that, or like when he invites
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: him over, maybe his mom comes out because she's just
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: like she tells him to go get in trouble, but
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: then she doesn't meet any of the people who I
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: It turns out Dennisler he's like really racist, and.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: They're like, man, we didn't ask for that. In the
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: scene he goes, no, it's more real estate, you know,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: it's really he gets in his character. Yeah, but when
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: he goes uh.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: One of the first times they walk away and they're like, hey,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: meet me tomorrow eight am at the ballfield I field.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: I remember being in like middle school and like summertime
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: and like you tell your friends like, okay, we'll meet
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: you there and on like a Wednesday at like ten am,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: and that feeling of like when you wake up and
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: you're going out to hang out.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: It's such a good feeling. This movie brought me back
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: to like childhood. Yeah, it's great. Yeah, it's it's a
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: nostalgia bomb for sure. So yeah, well let's go into
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: some like quotes in lines. So I feel like this
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: is like that first film that was instantly quotable for like,
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: you know, you think of films like Anchorman where you're
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: like just constantly quoting it and like or referencing Simpsons
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: and stuff or whatever, but like this has to be
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: like the first and probably even still one of the
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: most quotable movies ever. Sobs, you know, I have a
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: list of lines, but I figured I'll let you two
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: kind of describe some of your favorites and then if
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: you yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: It seems like almost every line in this Yeah, yeah,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: I heard that. It seems like almost every line in
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: this is like like quota almost right.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh you're the guest. I'll let you go first.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Oh do you want me to just do one or
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: do a couple?
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Well? One of my favorite parts is when Squintz is
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: telling the story and he drops the forever line and
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: he gets his fucking lip into it and he just
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: looks all goofy and you just dropping that hammer That
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: repeated me though, is just is just stell yeah, everything
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: being exaggerated as it is the way he tells the story,
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: It's like in nineteen fifties, like noir.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just so well done, like everything, Is that
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: your sister over there in right field naked?
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah? That's like my favorite part of that whole bit too,
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: like where he's like trying to distract them and everything, like,
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: is that your sister naked?
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: So funny gets in his head?
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: For sure?
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Shut up, Porter, it's gonna be a short game, and
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: I gotta get home for lunch.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: That's one, you know. It's not dogs as ugly as
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: you achieve his butt, you tell him to walk backwards
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: the heater.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Here it comes. I do you strike for your Hey,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: like your sister out there in left field naked?
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: She's naked? Sup? Porter?
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, You'm just trot out a little friendly conversation.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Come on, I just think she'd doelt with me.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: I'm going with ones that that aren't like some of
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: the more obviously is like the one.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: One of the ones I like is at the beginning
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: when he's getting the introduction to all the guys and
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: he goes, oh, the great Bambino.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: I thought you said the great Bambie, and Ham's like
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: that rimpy deer. Oh man, that kills me every time.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: That one's so good, And then, uh, probably my favorite
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: one though, is heroes get remembered, but legends never die.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: So badass.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: I wonder if that was the tag for the movie.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Was it? No? Oh, why wasn't it. I looked up
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: some of the tags I didn't write him down, but
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: they're like all just kind of dumb.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that one's super good.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, that should have been like heroes get remembered
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: but legends never die. Yeah, that's a great tagline for yeah, everybody. Yeah.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: One of the ones my dad and I would always
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: used to do is he'd always say.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Uh, you ever on a paper oute I helped the
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: guy once just for some reason. I don't know why.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: That stupid line is something we said to each other
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: all the time. When that happened, I looked at and
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: I'm like, some guy, like was it a friend or
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: wasn't an adult was like that's weird, Yeah, just weird, weird.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: They had to move to California because smells smells Small's
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: ended up killing the guy.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: My paper wrote.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: What do you got? Andy?
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: So I wrote down.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: One of the best lines I think were delivered by
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: the kid was right after the treehouse explodes with all
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: the vacuums and that kid walks out and he delivers
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: this line. Yeah, yeah, that little monologue there he does,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: We're going about this all wrong, and I believe myself. Yeah,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: it was great.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: That kid that's like his only real line in the Yeah,
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: it was just great entire film, Like you don't even
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: really know who this kid is. And then like he
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: gets this amazing chance to like deliver a great scene
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: and he kills it. And yeah, he did not let up.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: He shakes his hair and all the desk comes yeah.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Right. Yeah.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: And then my other one and my favorite, James Earl
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Jones when he goes baseball was life and that was
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: good at it and he just looks so happy you
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: could tell.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those are my two favorite.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: But then when I was watching it, my daughter so
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: when so when they get the baseball from James old Jernes,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: he goes, come in, uh, and the two kids just
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: walk into the house. My daughter Burt goes, he goes, well,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: that's why there are so many single killers in the sixties.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Kids are just walking into people's houses.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Dude, that's not Oh my god, that's awesome.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: I think my favorite like thing with him with mister
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: Myrtle is so when they're telling the story and like
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: they're trying to like figure out how they can like
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: get this ball, and.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Smallest goes, why don't we just go ask him? And
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: then he immediately once they first meet him, he is
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: when just knock on the door, I would have gotten
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: it for you. Like everyone starts beating up small or
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: not small, squints them with their hats and ship like
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: so great. And then his old defens goes, well we
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: got it, didn't we Yeah, And then he laughs that
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: like Squinn says, well he was got it.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: He just laughs at all, like because it makes me
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: think like he's been like kind of like he's dropped.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: In on the whole thing. Oh, sure's freaking kids. Yeah,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: he was probably listening to them, Yeah, because you know
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: another watching him play. Oh right, another suit you did there?
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Because he was blind? Yeah, I got that far. I
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: gathered at.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: Another line that James Earl Jones says that I didn't
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: write down that I just remembered is when they're inside
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: talking to him and he goes that.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Ball signed by baby Ruth. He goes George sign this.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: He goes George Herman Ruth, Yeah, and he goes, you're
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: not what does he say, you're not in trouble, You're
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: dead where you stand.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's good.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You can just see and like Smalls being a
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: good act kid actor, just like you can see the
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: expression like and like it's likely fact.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Did you have any other No, those are my two favorites,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: of course, like the great ones, you know, like you're
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: killing me Smalls and all.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: I mean there's so many great ones that but yeah,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: I had I had written down like this, the smorest bit,
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: like it's the throwaway, but it's like it's iconic at
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: the same time, like that's.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: And I have some more nothing I just got here. Yeah,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: and that's perfect. I was talking about background dialogue because
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: when he's talking, you can hear quietly like, man, you're
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: gonna burn the whole place down.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: What are you doing? Hey, give me one of those? Yeah.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: And it felt so real because even though kids are like,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: even though he's talking, I'm gonna interjectory.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: But also in that scene when they're when they're acting,
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: the other kids are like hanging out talking. Yeah, it
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: feels like a real feels like a real thing.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: And that Benny was laying there and he's just kind
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: of watching them and I'm like, oh, this feels and
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: he's just kind of watching what.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: They do and it's just great. It's really I actually
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: noticed that for the first time when I watched yesterday
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: that Benny's just laying there during the sport scene just
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: looking at him holding a bat. Yeah. Yeah, and that
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: seems great too, because like I mean, obviously like it's
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: it's like Ham delivers it great, like you put the good,
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: you take the yeah, like put them break down the
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: construction of it, but also too, like they're they're developing
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: their friendship.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: So Ham takes a bite of it and then he gives.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: It to Smalls to eat too, So it's like the
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: shows like that they trust each other, like he's you know,
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: they got face in him.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: So it wasn't a good smore though, what no, no,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: because the chocolate wasn't melted at all.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: You have to melt chocolate, well, you want to slightly melted,
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: but that's what the hot marshmallow.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: But they did it too soon and he didn't cook
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: it long enough and you could tell it was hard chocolate.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: It wasn't even melted.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Well, he did it with a candle. It's not like
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: it was a fucking fire pool.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, for your first Moore, that's a shooty. Well,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: I guess though, it's still gonna be pretty good. And
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: then you can build your way up.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: I guess you can become a veteran like me and
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: use Reese's peanut butter cups and other delicious chocolate.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Some people use tongs and they they put the tongs
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: on each side and then they roast the whole thing
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: over the fire.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: You can grill them, like you can do that idea
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: that is okay, you know what we do. There's these
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: cookies they're called like La le pires or something like that,
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: but they're a Grahm cracker and chocolate.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, I know, exactly English.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: Such a good idea, and I just Rihea thought of this,
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: but she just yeah, we just get those and we
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: just get the marshmallow.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all ready to go. Yeah, it's brilliant, brilliant.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: That's so great.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: Anyways. Yeah, like, as you mentioned, you're killing me Smalls.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: This one hasn't been mentioned. It's probably one of my
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: favorites of the whole film.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Is the Kids A square He's an L seven weeny. Yeah,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: and then yeah, yeah, builds it on he's like foot long,
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: even Dodger or dog, which is a square. Yeah that's why,
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: yeah square. He even shows it like as he's putting
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: it together.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: I love Ham's delivery of I'm making like a toasted
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: cheeseer up so hot. And then in that same scene too,
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: when when Benny is like pissed because like all like
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: this one of my favorite things about Benny's characters, Like
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: he just wants to play baseball.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: That's all, yeah, wants to do.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: And so when they're kids are like want to get
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: out of baseball, he's pissed and he's like, all right, well,
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: anybody who wants to be can't hack it pannyways to
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: where's their mama's broth? All you?
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: And he has a look of disgust on his face,
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: like you sons of bitches.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah that.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: Benny, I'm thinking like a tougeon teaser gets so hot
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: here fifty you can't play baseball.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: You get to call it for the.
• 44:56

• 45:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah fine, fine, fine squints delivery of like when they're
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: all checking out Wendy and it's like, I've swum here
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: every summer of my adult life.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: Every summer she's there, lotioning, oiling, lotioning.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: I can't take it. When they say I can't remember
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: who says it, it might be Yeah, she's like she
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: don't know what she's doing.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: She knows exactly. Yeah, she's like, oh no, no, let
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: me tell you boys something. And then of course you
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: play ball like a girl.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Like that whole segment too, with like all the
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: pea drinking crab fast like you bob for apples in
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: the toilet and.
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: You like it.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great line delivery, right, and you like it.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: And because he kind of has like a New York thing,
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: you like it. Yeah.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: When I forgot about this line, and I did a
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: little bit of research, when Smalls at the beginning goes,
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: don't be a goofist, don't be a goophist. Yeah, there
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: was a comic strip in the sixties called Goofis and
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Galant Gallant Gallant. Okay, so I wonder if that they
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: probably got it. Probably that's a really cool little added.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: Thing that you don't need it because goofy goof is.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so pretty cool.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, actually like kind of like of the times in
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: the opening scene or now the opening scene, but like
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: in the early scenes when he's playing with his erector
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: set in the lone in his room, they pan over
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: his wall and there's a signed photo of mister Wizard.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: You know, I wanted to look up who that was.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: That's cool, Okay, yeah, that's yeah, it was like the
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: Bill and I have that right, yeah, right on, that's cool. Yeah.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: If you had to, what's the quintessential line of the
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: whole film, It's got to be your killing me Smalls?
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: Uh huh, that one I used. I mean I use
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: that almost daily.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: I still use that one.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean you can say that in ninety
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: five percent of people you interact with, are gonna know?
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: And also if I say forever, I say for minus foreeb. Yeah,
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: you really got to slap that feet. Yeah.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: But my favorite line is the one with the kid
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: who's like, we're going about this all wrong. Yeah, that
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: whole seed is so good.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that kid's real smooth right there. Yeah. I actually
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: almost I have a shirt that says you're killing me
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: Smalls with Ham's face on it. But I put it
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: on and I've bulked up a little bit, not a
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: good way, so it looked like a bra I was like,
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: I would have slap some freckles on me and shave
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: my beard. Not even the line when Ham's up at
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: the plate and he points, oh yeah, well did you
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: notice how squints he does Like it was like, I'm
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: gonna get somewhere the fun out there.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: I'm making contact with this man.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: And I like how they do it when they hit
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: the ball, Like sometimes you can tell it's just a
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: pop up, but they like all turn and sell it
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: really well.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, super cool.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you go straight into the ground and I just
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: go or like the one kid Bunce.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: Like the littlest kid Bunch.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: I thought that was kind of cool because bunting is
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: fucking hard, yea, So for him to be the one
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: that I don't know, I thought that was cool.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: That little kid he's the worst though, Yeah, insane it
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: Timmy Timmy and Tommy Timmy and Tommy Timmins yeah repeat yeah. Yeah,
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: So we've gone over all that. I think one thing
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: we didn't discuss is the carnival scene. So they're eating
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: the So that kid's great.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: Every every kid gets an opportunity to do like their Yeah,
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: and their thing and they kill it at each one
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: of them.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Oh crap, forgot, Yeah, like that kid's great. Yeah, I
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: Did you notice with that scene though it it it
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: doesn't show when they're actually on the ride. It doesn't
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: show like Benny or Denunes or one of the other kids,
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: the older of the brothers. I can't keep track of
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: which ones Timmy and which, but the older one that
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: has your favorite line delivery, I don't think it shows
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: them throughout the whole ride at all. Doesn't even show
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: them with the throw up, which makes me think they're
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: experienced in chaw. Interesting. H everyone's like that seems great.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: Like everyone's facial expressions is they're like getting sick, like
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: they really they really nailed it. Like the what's the
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: kid's name with the glasses? I keep calling it called
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: rim Brandt, But that's a freaking character from the Sandlot.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: Dut Dutch Room No Bertram Bertram. Yeah. When he there's
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: a part where he's just like a statue.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: And it's just like yeah, yeah, he just looks like
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: about to die.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's my favorite look of that whole scene. Yeah,
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: Benny goes, hey, it's on me tonight. And then he also,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: I was just like, because gloves are expensive, so he's
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: giving gloves away. I have a question later, but then
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: they came they can't they can't find a dollar get
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: a ball. Yeah I didn't put that together, but yeah,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: which would be about ten dollars ball today.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: Well I looked it up and I think they were
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: only like twenty five cents. So he's like, we're gonna
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: to get ninety eight cents to.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: Get a ball.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: They're only a quarter. Why are you trying to pocket
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: all this? That's why he can take him out. The
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: only place they can get him as that that drug store.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: That's true. So maybe it's just because it's like that
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: one spot that sells them. I don't know why don't
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: they take But they're in LA. They're in the suburbs
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: of l A. Like how hard would it be? Yeah,
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Orlet she had just like killed the
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: shop owner, murdered him.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, excuse me, and then that shoot out. Uh
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: so let's go on to the soundtrack and score. So
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: the score was composed by David Newman, who got his
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: start scoring Tim Burton's Frank and Weeny and then paired
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: up with Danny DeVito many of his films, including Throw
• 50:26

• 50:46
  Speaker 2: was Academy Award nominated for Anastasia in personal favorite mine
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: from the eighties, Brave Little Toastergot Ye and then the
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: soundtrack features great classics including The Lion Sleeps Tonight, This
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: Magic Moment, Wipe Out America, The Beautiful performed by Ray Charles,
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: There Goes My Baby, Green Onions, and of course tequila.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, green Onions, I think. And that's one of the
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: cool you know, it's just great. I love when the
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: kids the Tigers arrived.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: And then one of my favorite movies is Blues Brothers.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: Uh huh.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Donald Duck the bassist, he got a start in that
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: Booker t and the whatever that he got his start
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: in that bands.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's cool, pretty cool.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: I think most people in they think tequila, they think
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: of pee, wee Herman. But for me, this is where
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: I associate Tequila for this.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: It's only this for me.
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: This and then like that video of the guy who
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: goes on like America's Got Talent or something in Karaoke
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: fun or teenage Turtles for me, while ago.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: I forgot about that. That's a nice, nice tame drop
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: right there.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: But I don't know. Personally, I felt like the score
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: had like the perfect level of like whimsy, but also
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: like it has a very sixties vibe.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it goes really well. It's really so. It's so
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: well made. Everything, every detail is just so put together.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: Ray Charles, when the fireworks are going, oh yeah, because
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: as a kid, I remember how magic I mean, there's
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: still really cool now, but how magical fireworks were when
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: you were a kid, because and that fireworks display was
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: the ship they were dialed in. Whoever's running that operations
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: got things on lot.
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I wrote that that that's the perfect pairing
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: of of the songs they used in the scenes, like
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: Ray Charles's version of that, It's it's great.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: Wipe out during the dog chase was pretty good too, but.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: I would have made a little more sense if he
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: fell down though it should have been a song about
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: running well.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: I mean another one that fits like a glove is
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: uh this magic moment during the rape kiss.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: Right for sure?
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: That doesn't hold Yeah, when he holds her head down
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: ship over here.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, okay, maybe the holding the head.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Downs a little much.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fit like a glove. He's so little too, Like
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: that's crazy, kind of a good substitute for Jeff the
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: rape kids so blunt. Yeah, so you know, not not
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: need to go too much into it, but like it's
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: a great score, perfect, like really great soundtrack. So cool.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: How about this?
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: How about this?
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: So the first one is the plot. Let's rate it
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: a B C.
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: D F plot.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: I mean it's a solid B.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was thinking i'd like I'd go B plus
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: A minus. Yeah for what for what the movie is?
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: You can't have like too complex. Yeah, it doesn't need
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: to be yeah fucking Interstellar or something. I'm not watching
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: this for the plot, yeah, yeah, I'm watching this for
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: the cast. In the delivery of lines, they're gonna get
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: that ball, yeah they do, so, yeah, I think be
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: i'd give it too, And then for the cast, i'd probably.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: Give it like an A minus.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: Oh I think the cast isn't a I don't have
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: any any problems with it.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of wish they would have they could
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: have done somebody cooler for the narration, true, like if
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: they'd have got somebody with a cooler voice.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: Christian Slater or uh.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: Got that?
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, like not like he's like, hey, we almost
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: had a baseball.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, who would be a better narrator. That's a good point,
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: Like Kevin Costner, like you associated in baseball a lot.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that would have been good.
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: Vince Scully that would have been fucking awesome because he
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: was the Dodgers commentary. Yeah, during that would have been
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: way cool. James Earld Jones.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: That was what I was gonna say. That would work
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: because he's in it.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh that would have been cool. Then then he
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: could tell the story. Yeah, like how he's he remembers it?
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know. But then how do you know about
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: the kids? And then it gets real creepy.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: I was watching these kids in there, think I'm blind
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: and then cast So yeah, I give about as I
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: give it an I don't have anything.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: What's the what was the next thing? Oh, liones?
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, lines and quotes like whatever you can go above
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: and beyond. They did that, yeah, and then music a yeah.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: So I think overall this is like a ninety two again,
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: like this is like a perfect movie.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: Like yeah, because I mean, at the end of the day,
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: a perfect movie is something I can put on every
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: time and enjoy it. Yep. Yeah, so you put it
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: any like if you're flipping through channels, you see it.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: You just turn it on and roll with it no
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: matter where it's at.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: There is a game that has been rumored to exist.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Oh the game to the game boord?
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, is that what we're supposed to do? Just roll
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: dice like I know, well, I got the die right here,
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: so I guess I just roll the die.
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: A game that can take you anywhere.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: You aren't from around here, are you du I think
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: they're just napping. No, they must have come from that
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: meteor shower earlier. I mean, look at them.
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: A game that will push you to your limits.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: Die Die, create the old man Die. Oh my god,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: that's not cool. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: Stop him. A game with heroes, oh you could call
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: me Goku and villains.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: There's Buffalo Billies in here somewhere.
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: A game where your next move could be your last.
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: So I have this nail gun with me, so I'm
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: gonna pop this motherfucker in the mouth God me.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: May Yeah, I'm so sorry, my friends.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: Are you gonna get here quick? Because I don't know
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: how much time we have Dungeons and decades.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: Dungeons and Dungeons and Dungeons and decades. Damn Dungeons and decades.
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Dungeons and Dungeons and Dungeons and decades.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Season one of Dungeons Decades out right now, So
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: make sure you don't listen on Spotify or anywhere you
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: listen to the podcasts. Dungeons and Decades is a big
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: Gold Prize production. So I'm gonna do a review from
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: Roger Ebert, and it's weird because I didn't think he
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: would like this movie because it's a It's a good movie,
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: but it's a kid's movie, so I didn't think.
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: But listen to what he says.
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: He goes if you have ever been lucky, lucky enough
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: to see a Christmas story, you will understand what I
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: mean when I say The Sand Law is a summertime
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: version of the same vision. Both movies are a gawky,
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: young adolescent trapped in a world they never made and
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: doing their best to fit in while be set with
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: the with the most amazing. I don't know this word though,
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: V I C I S S I T U D
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: vicit vicissitius. I don't know, I've never I don't know
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: if I've ever heard or seen that word before. Vicissitudes. Yeah,
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: so vicissitudes. I gotta look that up. But then it
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: goes Neither movie has any connection with the humdrum reality
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: of the boring real world. Both tapped directly into a
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: vein of nostalgia and memory that makes reality seem puny.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: By comparison, damn cleak.
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: Vicissitude is a change of circumstances of fortune, typically one
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: that is unwelcome or unpleasant.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I guess getting the ball, But it seems
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: like he really enjoyed this movie with that, like that quote,
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: like it.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: Was I don't know the dude like gave spawn in it,
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: like a five, So like really.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we never we talked about I didn't know you
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: gave him five. I don't know, he's like four or something.
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: He likes spawned, So, I.
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: You know, I get I get the Christmas story comparison yeah,
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: that has a lot of sad notes, and I love
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: a Christmas story, so I'm not going to complain, but sure.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: Uh. And then he also goes on to to say
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: he talks about the movie, but then at the end, uh,
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: he goes, there was a moment in the film in
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: Rodriguez hit a line drive directly at the pictures mound,
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: and I ducked and held up my mit and then
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: I realized I didn't have a mint.
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: And it was then I realized how.
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: Completely this movie had seduced me with its memories of
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: what really matters when you're twelve years old.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: He fucking loved this movie.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, so that you liked.
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: It, did what it was supposed to do.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And he goes, yeah, these days too many
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: kids movies are about winter lose.
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: This one didn't have that. It was just great. Yeah right,
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: So like he really loved that.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: Except when they beat the breaks off those spoiled bitches.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: The Tigers beat this, they beat this shit at them.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: Why aren't they the main team then? If they are
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: so much better, Like, couldn't they? But maybe they have
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: to buy their own game uniforms.
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't have the organization in the discipline of
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: matching outfits. I did like to.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: I like to try to find one star reviews too,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna read a few, just short ones, and
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: I'll end with a long one. So this first one
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: was in twenty sixteen. This one star review by mister
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: movie r.
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: We watched this movie.
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: Uh, we watched this too much in middle school, to
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: the point where I really despise this movie. But you
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: must have liked it at one point, otherwise you wouldn't
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: have kept it.
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: Why did you keep watching it? Don't even a one
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: star now that you spoiled it's yeah, fucking you problem pal. Yeah,
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: I like this one. It is a five.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: But goes grandsons love this movie, so they're rating it,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: or are their grandsons, But I get it, like I
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: love this movie because they love it. This person hated
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: this movie. It was in twenty twenty by Mary ol
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: S or Mary el S. This movie revolves around the
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: antics of a group of brain dead children who act
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: like homeless orphans. God damn, I hope that person gets
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: ran over. Why does she hate this movie so much?
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: That person gets hit by a fucking bust homes orphans?
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: I like this one two from twenty twenty.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: It's a two star, so it's not the worst movie
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: goes nothing new and not especially interesting. But this movie
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: got re released in like twenty twenty. Yeah, do you
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: I wonder if this person got confused with the Sandlot
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: from the nineties.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: I have nothing.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: I have a lot of questions.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: Why are you doing a review on a movie fucking
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: twenty years later? Yeah? And it's nothing new?
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, nothing new, it's twenty years old. This
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: person just said it's the worst film I've ever seen,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: which I don't know. I hate that person, but I mean,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: have you seen Spawn? This is like the anti version
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: of Roger Eebert?
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: This one got a five star review, but it kind
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: of confused me a little bit because I don't understand
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: that at one point it says funny, original and romantic,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: mild language, you freaking wish. I don't they say shit
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: all the time in this what's romantic?
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: What's romantic?
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: I mean this love of baseball? Maybe like, yes, mild language,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: you freaking wish, Like mild language, not bad language or
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: good language, but right in the middle, which is crazy.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: They must have missed the part where they said pus liquor.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's disgusting.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: They say shit once, No, they say it more than once.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: Really, yeah, he says when Benny's talking to him when
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: he's first getting it, tried to recruit and play, says,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: you get straight a's and shit huh yep, and then
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: he said and then uh when he bit or when
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: Squints kisses Wendy, one of says, oh, he's in deep shit.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: And then there's one other one but I'm blinking right now.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: He says, oh shit, when the beast jumps the fence.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: Yep, there's not one too. Yeah, So it says it
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: a few times.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: It's a good character development because like, Benny's more mature
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: than all of them. So like the way he uses
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: shit is he uses shit like oh shit, yeah, like nostaltic, actual,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: like the seasoned person.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: So this is a one star review where someone actually
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: like wrote why they disliked it. Okay, uh, they didn't
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: include homeless orphans, so.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: Oh it's titled sorry it's the writing, so one star review.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: It says, am I missing something? That's the name of
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: the review. I viewed this movie on the enthusiastic recommendations
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: from friends based on that and the great comments on IMDb.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: I guess I don't get it.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: My wife and I both thought this was possibly one
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: of the worst movies we have ever seen. The boys
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: acting was wooden and terrible, the story ridiculous. Maybe if
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: you were six or seven years old, it might be believable.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: You mean a kid watching a kids movie. Yeah, it
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: might be a little more, But any adults should find
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: this movie barely watchable. The main character can't throw a
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: baseball to save his life until his new friend tells
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: him how to throw it, like we need delivered newspapers.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: Then he throws it like a pro.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: The Ragtag group easily defeats defeats an organized little league
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: baseball team.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: Huh, just because they have matching clothes.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: Babe Ruth appears in his friend's dream, but oh no,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: in the friend's dream but looks like but looks and
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: talks like George Burns. Wasn't Don Bakers?
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't know if he like like just because
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: he has a Yes, wasn't Joe Don Baker available?
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: Then the white junkard owner turns out to be James
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: Earl Jones and just happens to be.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: And just happens to have a baseball signed by all
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: the Yankees.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: What a pile of garbage. I don't I don't understand
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: this person like that one in the romantic romance are
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: my favorite, Like I love that romance. Mild language, you
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: freaking wish? But one who like man, I wish this
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: movie had mild language? Who wishes that?
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: That's funny?
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: So the critics gave it sixty eight overall, but like
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: the audience stores like ninety two or ninety eight. I
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: have here sixty four critic.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: From Rotten Tomatoes and eighty nine audience. Yeah, eighty nine, Yeah,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: so I mean that's a big despair, you know. And
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: then seven point eight out of ten on IMDb.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: Yep, So I don't know. Yeah, I mean the audience
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: score makes sense. I mean we're giving it an A.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: It's basically about ninety two, so eighty nine right around there. Yeah,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: great movie, though, what's the one hundred for you?
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: D though?
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no way, this is under ninety nine, Like what
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: are we talking about?
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: Like, Oh, it's a fucking kids movie and it delivers
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: in every way. And for adults to be like those
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: kids can't act, work the shit? What the fuck do
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: you do every day. Honestly though, like if I were
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: watching this objectively today, like I think the kids are great,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: I do too, I can like you, there's none of
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: that weird like you know, like theater style acting from
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: them or anyway. They're just like natural kids. And so
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: I have some like some fun facts about it. So
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: this was shot in forty two days. Wow, that's fast. Yeah,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: so obviously these kids were just like, hey, just go
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: be kids.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like we're just gonna film you never think it.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's why, like Pete, Pete's so good, you
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: know all the time, because it's just like they just
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: want kids who are kids. They're not trying to like
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: I did this, you know, like weird like like stage
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: like acting in the kind of shit. So like I
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: thought they did great. Everything felt really natural. They felt
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: like an actual group of friends. I just think to
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: criticize the kids acting is is weird to me?
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think it's it is super weird. I think,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: no matter what movie you watch, kids acting, they're not
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: going to be the greatest, but they're not bad like
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: at all.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: And Ham was great. Ham I thought was head and
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: shoulders above every other kid. But the other kids. That
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean the other kids are doing bad.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: I just think that's how great Ham was, Like, yeah,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: every scene he delivered and stole like you're saying.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, exactly cool. So, uh it was originally film
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: in Salt Lake City.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: Oh weirdy Yeah, that's a trip.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and so because they had like really inconsistent weather
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: so on like the really hot scenes it's one hundred
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: and ten degrees out geez. Actually a small has collapsed
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: on set.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: Wow, damn.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: And then in the pool scene it's really it's overcast.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: In the pool is like freezing. That's why you see
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: Squint's like chattering his teeth.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah all the time.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: That makes sense, that's wild. Let's see I had We've
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: talked about the older and younger versions of Benning Or
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: played by real left brothers, So that's really neat the
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: Beast puppet. So the scenes where they you don't fully
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: meet the Beast yet and they're building up the story
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: was a puppet that had to be operated by two people.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: Makes sense. The chewing tobacco is actually just beef jerky
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: and licorice.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: It's a weird combo.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: So it had to be black liquorice. It was just
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: a bottom three substance on this fucking planet. But I
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: noticed when they're when they're doing the it does look
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: at one point like.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: They're eating beef jery at bottom.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love jerky. I like licorice.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: I don't think I like them to get And I
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: was just from the citizens do you like? Do you
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: like regular licorice or black liquorice? Like regular? Okay?
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: How can anybody like black lickorfe I'm not I'm not exaggerating.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: It's fucking off. When when I was like a teenager,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: I didn't mind it, but like now I can't, Like,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know's it's vile so gross. Yeah.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: Compared to other nineties baseball films Angels in the Outfield,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: Brookie of the Year, Major League two, League of their
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: Own Basketball, I think it's the best one baseball, best
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: best kid one for sure. Yeah, I mean I like
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: it more than those other adult movies that you said,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: although major League is major League. Major League is so good.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: But it's crazy, how like all those? What's a better
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: baseball film than this?
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: Un Otherwise I'd have to put the only one that
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: comes close to me is Field to dream, So you
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: saying you said Andy is really fucking hurtful. But that's
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: just something like that was me and my dad's thing.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: It's like it was like baseball movies, but all the
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: best baseball movies came from like this ten year period,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: like eighty five ninety five, you know, And it's weird
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: that they don't do movies like that anymore. Like these
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: kids were in these movies were like actually in the
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: stadiums and had like real players and ship like in
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year and uh, Rookie the Year is dope?
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: What's the Rookie the Year is the one who breaks
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: his arm? What's the one where they inherits the team?
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: That one was good too, fucking awesome too, Yeah till
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: the pitcher starts happening.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: Even but that's neither here.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: Even TV episodes about baseball at this time are really
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: really good something about baseball, even though it's just boring
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: to tell.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: To watch baseball in the nineties was like, yeah, the
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: Simpsons episode that's in the Baseball Hall of Fame, that's episode.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, it's just that that was definitely well, I mean,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: I can't say for before, but like the nineties, was
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: like when baseball was at its pinnacle.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like it was definitely.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: Bigger than the NFL, I would think, and uh it
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: was right there with basketball because but yeah, I was
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: just because of Jordan. Mm.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: Comparatively, I don't think basketball films are nearly as good
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: as baseball, not even close. But it's hard to I
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: think it's harder to do a sport like basketball movies
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: because there it's always going. You know, in baseball, you
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: s baseball always going. That's the problem with baseball. It's
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: not just you're stopping. Like I remember I watched a game.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: Oh I meant like, oh, like over the year, that's
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: what I was thinking. Oh no, no, I mean like
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: in the in the game, yeah, and how there's just
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: so many pauses and breaks and you can like read
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: people's faces and do things. I was watching a game
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: earlier this year and there were it was a guy
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: I think he was on the Red Sox. It was
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: a pitcher, and there they timed it and he was
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: doing like thirty four seconds between pitches, so throw pitch
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: and like, holy fuck, yeah, you can be here for
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: two weeks watching that damn game.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I average a baseball game goes like three hours
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: and eighteen minutes and football is like three hours and
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: like four minutes something like that. But it seems so
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: different because how fucking there's no action in baseball game.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: Nope, And that's it's gotten worse because everybody's just it's
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: all strikeouts and home runs.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: It's not people on base.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: You know, people don't go for contact just to get
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: on base and then try to steal bases. It like
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: it's it's changing a little bit, and they're trying.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: To make rules to change it.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: But it's all home runs and striking. Yeah.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, even like I love football is my favorite sport,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: but I mean they don't do like Little Giants.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: Little Giants is good, Yeah, but I'm just saying that's
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: when they made those kinds of movies.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: The last time they tried to make I feel like
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: they tried to make a kid's football movie was fucking
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: grid Iron Gang with the Rock and Exhibit. Oh yeah,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: do you remember that?
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: I know that's funny.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: I remember that. I think I might have went with Gabe.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: I can't remember.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: I went and saw that thing in theaters, Like I
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: was entertained, but like I was like, well, I don't
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: need to watch this again. Yeah, but even like the
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: best football movie doesn't compare to best baseball film. No,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Remember the Titans. Remember the Titans is good.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: The Titans is great.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: That's great, But I think i'd still pick Sandlot.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not as heavy. It's like you can kind
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: of enjoy you can watch it any day you like.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you'd probably put like if comparing those two, Sailot
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: would be like a kid movie and Remember the Titans
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: would definitely be like an adult lie.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be like watching Hogan's Heroes versus Schindler's List.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: I'd be like, well, I can watch lest I go
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: to work.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: That's how you start your day home.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: Every day, I wake up three hours for my job.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: That's great. Okay, So to distill it all down, what's
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: the quintessential scene of the film. Oh, that's tough.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: I think maybe when Benny hits that home run or
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: when he gets that hit during Fourth of July and
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: you see all the kids look up with that America thing,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: because you can tell by the closes in the sixties
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: it has that super Nossaugier factor. It shows the kids,
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: you know, wonder believe, you know, loving.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: It and baseball.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: I get maybe probably that, I guess I'll go that route.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: I'd say the excitement for when Small figures it out
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: and he's able to throw, and then they're all like, okay,
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: let's play some ball. Well, and they're all hyped and
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: everything starts rolling from there.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of what I would say. Mine's the
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: Fourth of July scene.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like it conveys everything about Benny's character so well,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: because like he doesn't give a shit about the the
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: fireworks going on while every other kid is, and it
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: shows the difference between somebody who's committed or something and not.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: But also like the kid wonder, the nostalgia, everything, I mean,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: the music's paired perfectly.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that's like it.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: There was only one night game a year on the
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: Fourth of July.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 6: The whole sky would brighten up with fireworks, giving us
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 6: just enough light for a game. We played our best then,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 6: because I guess we all felt like the big leaguers
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 6: under the lights of some great stadium. Benny felt like
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 6: that all the time. We all knew he was going
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 6: to go on to bigger and better games because every
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 6: time we stopped to watch the sky on those nights
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 6: like regular kids.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: He was there to call us back.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 6: You see, for us, the ball was a game, but
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 6: for Benjamin Franklin Rodriguez, baseball was life.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: All right. So I have a few questions here. My
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: first one favorite.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: Character, Oh okay, between Squints and Ham. Really Squints, though
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: I love Squints, Squints is brilliant.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: For me, it's between Benny and Ham just because like
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: Benny was so cool and like I just love how
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: much like he just cared about other people, but he
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: was like really cool and good where he didn't need
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: to care that much about people. But Ham just stole
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: the scene.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: M h. I think if I was a kid, I'd
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: want to be Benny's not gonna go Benny. Wow. I
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: think I think Squints for me is like he's he
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: plays such a quit essential role on it in like
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: he's really great comic relief and just the way he
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: like delivers lines and tell stories is great.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's cool.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: So for me, it was between Benny and Ham, and
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: so to be different, I'll pick Ham. But if I'm
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: gonna pick like out of the blue kind of pick, yeah, yeah.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: I think yeah, yeah, cool as ship. I don't know why,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: but I think, yeah, yeah, yeah Marty or he's cool.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: He's cool, like he's kind of like, I don't know
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: what it is about him. I think I remember the
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: scene but where he's like.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: Good when he's when they're when they see Wendy and
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: he's just and then he starts roasting Squints.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: For just Gowking and he was purven a dish oh man.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: I think yeah, yeah, like low Ki is like a
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: good yeah good. He's got the best grin. Yeah, everybody
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: in that whole group. Yeah, and he does the ride
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: seem pretty well when he's thrown up.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: What was your favorite attempt to retrieve.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: The ball hmm the vacuum Yeah, yeah, although I really
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: love the part where they bring yeah yeah up and
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: he's like that's what that's my pick and that's why
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: because that ship's hilarious. He sees I think that part
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: when he's doing the stutters when he sees a dog,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: he's like yeah, and then yeah, that's my answer for sure.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: It's like we started primitive and they just had a stick,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: you know, during these whole things. Squints is great because
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: he's like the line is shut, like you got it.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: Everything he does is great in this scene. I think
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: the vacuum scene though, because like everything about it is
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: so funny, like the sequence of like launch, you know,
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: vacuum number one, number two, and like why did they
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: just turn him off? But like they let the whole
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: thing I do, Like when they're jumping out clearly their adults.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it does a front flip. But he's
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: like a like maybe it's his brother later in the movie. Yeah, Okay,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: what would your attempt be to get the ball?
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: I would have knocked even if I was told not to.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: I probably would have knocked.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: It's ball.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: You kind of got to, yeah, because I yeah, but
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: then you were just losing the ball anyway.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: It's like if you know it's a big ruth ball,
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: like while I'm keeping it. Yeah, well, they might just
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: they could have just said, hey, we hit our ball over.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: They might not have dropped the deats on it. Yeah.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: I think just the getting food for the dog and
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: distracting it.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: That was my idea to throw on the side one
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: person goes over and gets it. That was my idea too.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: Like Theiss though, when Bart's running and the dogs are
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: chasing him and the Homer goes, don't worry boy, and
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: he throws a steak, but the dog.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: Just catch it in the air, eats it chasing. He's like,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: oh no, now they have a taste for blood. The
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: other thing would have been like to try to, like,
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know, barricade the dog's house.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: Oh somehow, I don't know, like he's under there, just
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: trying to like throw something in front. I could that's
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: what or for a kids movie and funny if they
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: tried to dig underneath, that would have been like a
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: really weird.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: Right, and then they go overboard and they stick their
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: head in the guy's house. Backs.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: That's a good one. Okay. What position would you have
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: wanted to play on the team?
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know positions. I'd probably go first. I just said.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: I said center field just because I feel like is
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: like super easy because you just get the ball thrown
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: to you, songs, you catch your golden Yeah.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: What what did Bill Small's stepdad do for a living?
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if you think he's a sports writer,
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: maybe he could have been Oh, we don't know. I know,
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not asking what do you think?
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: I think that might be right?
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: Because think of all the sports memorabilia.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: He has in his room, but he'd have traveled more often.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: I feel like unless he was it was a Bigicago
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: for a week.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: Well they make it seem like it that was like
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: a big deal, Like that's not something that was kind
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: of out of the norm, but.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: Travel was calming for.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: The Dodgers or something. Well, I thought, what if what
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: if he's like working mad Like he's a guy of
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: Madman and he fucking does advertising and he had to
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: go away for a job and he's just getting fucked
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: up the whole time and just being a whole party
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: yeah and stuff. Yeah, yeah, could be.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: I mean he's yeah, I don't know. He's nice hair,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: So he must have done something right. What did Benny's
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: parents do to make him ball so hard? He didn't
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: have a lot of money, but now I think that
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: he was just charging ninety eight cents for the ball
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: only a quarter, so he was just making a ton
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: of money on top of it. Yeah, why does he
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: have such work ethic? Well, no, like he has like guys,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: it's on me tonight, like what it is. How he's
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: got extra gloves, he got extra.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: Anybody flyers?
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got a custom fucking Jersey in the sixties
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: that has his name on it.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's true. Yeah, that's interesting.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: He's kind of out.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: The thing I could think of is like, you know,
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of like you know, uh kids have to
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: work with their families. So maybe he just has a job. Maybe,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: you know, that's good. I thought maybe maybe his dad
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: was like a pro player, because he's got the itch
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: to want to play.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: He's more talented. They don't know. I feel like that
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: would have been brought up maybe, yeah, for sure. I uh, well,
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: then I was thinking too back to the racing. I
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: was like, maybe the reason that they that neighborhood allows
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: like the black kid in the Mexican kid is because
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: what if their parents are really wealthy and so you know,
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: they're wealthy to the points where they kind of go
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: over a race, you know.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: So I was like, oh, man, that's why he can
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: give so much stuff away. But let me think I'm
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: gonna say, but he's like he's definitely like their father
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: figure in a lot of ways. So I think he
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: feels obliged to like pay for everyone's way or something.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know. And plus they're doing him a solid
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: because all he really wants to do is do this
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: one thing? Yeah, so without them he can't get his
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: fix too.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: He's a pretty good looking kid, so I'm gonna say
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: his mom is an actress and his dad is something
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: in the movie industry, because they're in like l a
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: ish terms.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: So all right, I'm just curious what your thoughts might be.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: My next question is what else does Benny keep in
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: his jeans?
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: Because he has got at he just pulled him out
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: of his ass. It looks like like a clown. Yeah,
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: you remember that magician Saconberry back and sacond Berry he
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: used the originally. So I think he has a few
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: baseball cards, some six of gum and knowing him, he
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: probably has like an extra pair of shoes and the
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: baseball and a baseball bat and the catchers. I like
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: the idea of the baseball cards. No, yeah, that might work.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, what's the age difference you think between Squint and Windy?
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: I was thinking Whendy's either sixteen or eighteen.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: I was thinking these guys are what twelve thirteen ish,
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing she's like a six to seven years I
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: was thinking that she's probably like a junior or senior
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: in high school.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I was kind of thinkinguse me, because I
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: think you have to be a certain age to be
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: a lifeguard. And if she's been doing it for years.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if you're responsible. You Cola's like
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: started like fourteen or something.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, responsible at that time, So I'm thinking she's
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: like sixteen.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: Of them, Yeah, so five years maybe, yeah, Okay. I
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: was just wondering because they ended up getting together and
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: having the kids. It's funny that he's nine enough to
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: field a team.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: Oh kind of weird, I did that.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: My last question is how bad did you want a
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: pair of PF Flyers. I don't know if I'm the
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: only one, but I thought those were fucking sick all black. Yeah.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: I didn't know they were a different brand, and I
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: thought they were just a type of Converse. Oh yeah,
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: see they got Converse. Oh that's not like an off
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: brand of Converse. I know, they were like your own shoe.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: I just thought they were cool as ship.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: But I never like saw like if I saw them
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: in a store something, I would have tried to get
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: them at that point, But like at the time, I
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: didn't know.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: I just thought they were fucking super I had a
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: Converse phase because of this film. Oh nice. Yeah, see,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: I can't do con I tried. I hurt like there's
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: no patting on the bottom, walking onund.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: Crazy that motherfuckers used to play basketball, right, running and
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: jumping all though. Yeah, could you imagine they probably had
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: funky ass shack feet.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: Your fee would hurt so bad, so bad, so bad.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: But that's just some of the things that came to
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: mind for me.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: Cool.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, nice.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: Well, while we got Delo here and we're on the
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: subject of sports, we thought it'd be cool to do
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: our Mount Rushmore of baseball. So we had to pick
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: our like top four baseball figures. I don't know whatever
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: it could be from anything. It could be from you know, cartoons, Homer.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: Oh nice. I didn't choose Homer, but I could have been.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: That was great.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: That's a great call and I should have expected that
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: from you.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: But Delia, I guess, why don't you go through first?
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, So I have three locks and my fourth spot
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: is up in the air a little bit. So my
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: first is Kim Griffy Junior. He is one of my
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: favorite athletes, not just baseball, of all time.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: I've grown up.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: I thought loved King Griffy.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: He was so sick.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: When I played baseball in liter League, I did my
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: stands like him. I mean, I just Griffy is the coolest.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: I think he could have been one of the greatest
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: ever without injuries. Injuries really derailed his career. Like King
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: Griffy's like quintessential nineties.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: Like figure Yeah, because I also have King Griffy on
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: my mat great because I always think of like the
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: baseball video game. Oh it was King Griffey Sleddfest. Is
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: that what it's called? Well, then two being Pacific Northwest? Yes,
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: Seattle and Seattle was always on TV. When he retired,
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: That's when I realized my child ended because he got
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: signed on eighty eight eighty nine somewhere there right around there.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: So he he played my entire life like every moment
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: he was a baseball player, and he was so cool.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: Was he one of the ones at Homer at bat?
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was the one who had a party in
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: his mouth if I drinking the brain tonic.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: And he delivers that great life. Yeah, it's like a
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: party in my mouth and everyone's invited because you know,
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: they can't.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: Add because they're there sports people.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I thought he had a cool vibe you
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: you'd always hear about him and like a home run,
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, kN Griffey was as cool as ship growing up,
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: swing man, that was his logo, all right.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: Well one of mine is Mickey Kayline. Oh okay, hey Arnold, Yeah.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah, Micky Dope when they throw the balls at
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: the end of that first episode.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: So it's a great Yeah, it's just a great episode.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: And like like how they build him up as like
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: this Babe Ruth style, but like he's also not the best.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which is really cool. So I don't know, and
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: any like I love hot dogs, doesn't he have a
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: hot dog shop? Later he's a restaurant for some reason.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: I think it might be hot dog. It could be wrong,
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: but I thought it.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: Was like Mickey Kaelen's dog or something like that. Nice.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: So anybody that.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: Has a hot dog restaurant is all right.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: So then my second one is Derek Jeter five Rings
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: with the Yankees. He went to the freaking World Series,
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: like I think it was four of his first five
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: years or he won it four of his first five years.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't follow baseball as close to these
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: other things, but I just watched the documentary the captain
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: and that was super cool. Guy just was meant business winner,
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: great leader, and rock Jordan brand. So that was kind
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: of like, oh, he's got freaking.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: Jordan gloves on. That's pretty sick out of everybody. I
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: always felt like he could be like an extraterrestrial. Please
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: tell me more.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: Don't know why. Look, he looks a little odd.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: Jeter, I don't know. That name doesn't really vibe him.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: And like the other Yankees and the snl that, Oh yeah,
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: they like play their wives or something. Oh, I gotta
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: watch that. I've never seen that. Yeah, there's like this opening.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: I think it's a cold open one of them hosted, right,
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 2: was it Derek Peter? That probably Derek, But like all
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: the players play their wives and stand up. Yeah cool,
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: I gotta look at it all, look at them. I
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: think it's like during the Fallon era. Not a huge
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: fan of Fallon, but it's still good. Yeah he sucks,
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 2: but like, uh yeah, during his his run, I guess.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: My second is gonna be Ty Cobb. Even though he
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: was horribly racist, like just a piece of ship person,
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: I just loved the like the ferocity that he had
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: while he played, and I loved his story to get
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: into the Major League baseball. He would call managers and
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: like radio stations and stuff, pretending to be other people
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: asking about Ty Cobb. So he started just his whole brand.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: That's awesome, right, Yeah, and then they're like, oh, we're
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: gonna have you guys put any money on this, uh,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: this Cob kid. We're thinking about paying him this month.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: We see everybody else that they're like who And then
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: they would start and then everybody started like who's this
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: ty Cob guy? And that's how he got that's crazy. Yeah,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: he was super piece of shit. But he also watched
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: his mom murder his dad as like a kid, so
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: he had a lot of shit going up when he
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: was older. Yeah, but horrible person, but great baseball. Actually
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: not that great of a baseball player, but he just didn't.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: He just fucking went with it, like he would steal
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: bases all the time.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Tai CoV Myseling. I just think how he actually played.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: Was really like aggressive and it was pretty cool.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's awesome. My next one is somebody who actually
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: played baseball.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: His name is Danny McLean. Have you heard of this guy.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: I've not heard of this guy.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: He played in like the sixties or seventies, I don't
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: know when. Uh. He was a professional organist, so he
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: toured and played and recorded organ music while he played baseball.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: What a multi talented individual. He drank twenty four pepsis
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: a day.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: Geez, Louise, Wow, he's the most absurd human I think.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: I just love that.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: And because you're only up for let's say he only
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: played for like a few years because he was like
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: really good young, and then like obviously like and like,
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: he was also a complete shithead, so everyone hated him.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: Oh that's great, great, his story is amazing. Yeah. And
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: so he also looks like Matt Damon. So if they
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: ever made a movie, he'd be perfect.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you for sharing. That was one of the
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: coolest things I've ever heard. So that's so cool. I
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: think Andy. Recently, just my wife's subsessed to the podcast
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: called The doll Up.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: Have you ever heard of it? Wait? Are you talking
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: about the baseball player? Yeah, his name is Dandy McLain
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: the Oh okay, oh he's on that one. So no,
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: there's a there's a So the Dollip is this podcast
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: and these two comedians they talk about American history and
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: the whole premise is one of them has prepared notes
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: and the other one has no idea what the topic
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: is and they go they talk about it.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: Well, one of them's on Danny McLain.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: And his on that sounds it's really great, it's really enjoyable.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: And I just listened to this one about a golfer
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: that's hilarious.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: Too, so that might be like the fun It's top
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: ten funniest five, five funniest podcasts. It's really good.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great, But the one on McLane is just
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: batshit insane crazy how he like comes into money and
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 2: like gets out of it, like he loses it all.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like that's it's great. It's great.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: So that's why he's on mind because he's like interesting,
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: that's fucking awesome.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: But everything about that was cool.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: Ship twenty four pepsis a day.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's incredible. Fucking imagine he got sponsored by Pepsi
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: and then they're like, oh, so we have to stop,
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: we're losing money. Nobody should be drinking these. That's the one, like,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: give me forty five minutes.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because Trump taks drunk, Trump chinks twelve deck cokes
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: a day.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: Cheese Louise that's a lot. Can you imagine twenty four
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: and then's.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: Like there's so many and the doll up.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: There's this great bit about how like he cut back,
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: but he just drank eight, like sixteen ounces instead.
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: Oh that's so fun.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: That's fucking awesome, like when you have a tall boy
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: instead of like a normal one. Like I only had
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: eight beers last night, but they're all tall cans.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: Right. Oh that's good. So my next member, my mount Rushmore,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: is Each Row. Suzuki came over. I just like he
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 2: came over and was just immediately awesome. He actually won
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year and MVP the same year. Only
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: there's only been in basketball, football, and baseball only three
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: players have done that. Wow, or excuse me five players.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: In baseball it was Each Row and Fred Linn in
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: nineteen seventy four. Jim Brown did it in the NFL
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: back in the day, and then the two NBA players
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: were Wes Unselled and Wilt Chamberlain.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, so all the sports has only happened five times.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, in those three major sports, it's only happened
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: a football player Jim Brown.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, I thought you met in baseball, Like in
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: my head.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: I was like, that seems like kind of a lot. Yeah,
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: only two in baseball, but that's just incredible. He came
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: in and was just and if you took all because
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: he played professionally for a long time in Japan, if
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: you took his hits from Japan and the MLB, he's
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 2: just like the hit king. He just gets on base
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: all the time, and he's faster than shit.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: How old was he when he came to Major League Baseball?
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Like, was he late twenties.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: Though i'd guess mid twenties. I'm guessing he can't. He
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: started probably super young in Japan. Yeah that's cool, huh.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: But he was a fucking machine and he was super cool.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: And I remember, so I grew up a Mariners fan
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: because of Griffy, But once like Griffy and a Rod Left,
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: I was like, well, if they don't care, I don't care.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: I didn't understand and at the time how sports worked
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: and players switched teams and shit. So I switched my
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: allegiances to my dad's team, the Yankees, and so i've like,
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: you know, and I've been with them ever since.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: But I always, like will root for the Marriagers and
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: stuff like that.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 2: But I always thought, fuck, each row is so sick,
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 2: So whenever i'd play a baseball video game, I'd put
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: each row on the Yankees and then roll from there,
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: and it was it was awesome. But yeah, he was
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: just a genuine badass. And his rookie year when he
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: won Rookie Year in MVP, I think they won like
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: one hundred and sixteen games that year.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: They were smacking folks.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: For your Bachelor.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: Probably went to Mariners game, but they lost by like
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: sixteen fucking year.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: There was like fifteen home runs that game. It was
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: awesome and if you wouldn't have been getting a beer,
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: you would have caught one. Yeah, but yeah, that's just funny.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: I've only been a one Major League baseball game and
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: they got fucking just destroyed. Yeah, we used to go
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: to a Mariner Yankee game every year.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 2: That's cool.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: It was awesome.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 2: Well cool.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: My number three is Babe Ruth, just because growing up
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: as a kid is right before like the Internet really
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: broke off, so you wouldn't really see or hear that
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: much about Babe Ruth, so you'd only hear the big
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: crazy stories like he'd eat a bunch of hot dogs
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: where you started drinking a bunch of beers, smoke cigars.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: But he was still just fucking just hitting him out
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: of the park all the time. So he was like
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: an American superhero to me. And then I got a
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: little bit older, I found more about like, ah, he
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: was an orphan too, which is crazy. So you know,
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: that's cool that somebody can rise up even though with
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: like problems. Growing up, he got traded to New York
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: from Boston, and that's so the Boston owner could fund
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: a play called No No No Nete, and it flopped.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: He lost the greatest baseball player, I mean at the time,
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: at the time, probably the greatest baseb player of all
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: time h for a play that didn't do good, just
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: so you could get a finance. But yeah, and I
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: thought Babe Ruth was everything. Just seemed like legendary and
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: growing up like Babe Ruth is like baseball to me. Nice.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: My third is somebody in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: Homer Simpson. Nice, I didn't know you're gonna do.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: That's awesome. Homer bats one more the greatest of the episodes,
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: and uh, yeah, I don't know, I mean obvious reasons
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: why why Homer Simpson would be on about Rushmore.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: One of the greatest players of all time. I mean,
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: he's in the Hall of Fame. Yeah, I can't deny it.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: Like in that show too, when uh, after he gets
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: that piece of wood that fell down and he shows
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: Bart and Bart goes, what are you gonna do build
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: a bat? And he goes, I'm gonna use this to
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: build a bat, Like, what are you gonna build a
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: baseball ball with?
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: That? One of the best episodes.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. I love that. And it wasn't for him,
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't have won. So I mean he basically you know,
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: he won that game for him. Yeah, I I the
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: whole episode is so good, right, it kills me.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 5: So he just sounds like a scullt going on, don't
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 5: worry the professional anthees some athletes and stuff just rolls
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 5: off their back and then Darrel Strauberry is.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: Just crying here.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 2: There, Oh so good, great pig. Well that's something. After
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: I said that, I was like, oh, I should have
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 2: picked I think about that. Yeah, great, great one.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: Ali's got your back, so good, all right, last one?
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: All right? So for my last one, I was I
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 2: had the three locks, and then I was trying to
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: decide between some more players. The big unit Randy Johnson,
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: who once hit a bird with a fastball, crazy just explodes.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one big unit. Yeah, that was his new
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: thing because he was six ten. Yeah, he's six ten.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: He's a fucking tree out there on the mountain.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: Mariano Rivera, Joorne Pisada, von Pad Rodriguez, Mike Piazza. But
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: Ali's list has inspired me, and so I'm gonna go
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 2: with Shoeless Joe Jackson from Field to Dreams. So Raleiota,
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 2: because I fucking love that movie.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, oh man, that movie.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: Mark says he cries every time with the oh yeah,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: ever since I had kids. Absolutely, absolutely, dude, It's so good.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: It's so good. And if you're not shit pickled paying attention,
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: you can follow along.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: It's it's yeah.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be a movie about corn agriculture.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 2: What I know now they about corn farming. Yes, that
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 2: movie is good, and Raleiota fucking kills it, as is
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 2: Shoeless Joe.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's just a lot of fun. Are you
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: fan of that movie?
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: Ali?
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: I've never seen it. Oh, Christ, Well, like you both
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: have homework. I never really watched that many sports movies
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: grown up because I didn't watch sports until I was
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: like in high school. NBA two K is what got
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: me into sports?
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah with you?
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I was you know, you know, like when
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: I was younger. Every time I thought the sports, I
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: saw it like meatheads, like.
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 2: Oh you know, like that's all I thought it. And
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: now you have season tickets to the Blazers that I do, Yes,
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: I just got him first first time.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: Whoo.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: But no, there's so much more to sports than just
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: the like I love the stats, like SAT That's why
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: baseball's pretty cool. But there's too many status base I
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: don't know what.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: The f I don't either, And I've like I've followed
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: basketball and football like religiously, and baseball is just a
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 2: whole other They play so.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: Many games it's sorry to keep up. And speaking of stats,
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: my fourth person on my Hall of Fame, a lot
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: of people don't know him, or I mean Mount Rushmore
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: Rube Waddell. His nickname was the Rube. He was a
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 1: pitcher at the same time Cy Young was arguably better
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: than Cy Young. Crazy right, he still holds something with
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: like most strikeouts in the season left handed, and it
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: was like a nineteen hundred or something like that. So
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: it's speaking how many stats and crazy stats there are.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: But Rube was a trip, so he was great at pitching.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: Of course, one time him and cy Young actually played
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: against each other twenty innings and he ended up coming
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: out on top. I believe he won that game, but
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: he had a better pitching performance than c I Young.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: But check out some of the Roof stories, which I love.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: So when he was three years old, he snuck away
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: from home and went to a fire house for three
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: days he was there, his parents couldn't find him, so
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: that's where his like started to fire things were like
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: fire trucks and everything. Growing up, he grew up poor.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 2: He said he got really good at pitching by.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: Throwing rocks at like animals that would try to go
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: to their farm, which seems maybe true.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: But during his baseball games, the reason he kept getting
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: fired from so many teams because he couldn't stay on track.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: If he heard a fire truck, he would go running
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: after it, fucking crazy. So then, uh yeah, and then
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: he loved puppies and things like that, so then the
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: teams he was playing, their fans would come with like
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: little animals, so he would get distracted.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 2: But he was so good at pitching.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: There were times where he would call in the whole defense, go, no,
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: I was just gonna strike these guys out really quick,
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: and he would fucking strike them out crazy, and so
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: there's no defense.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: Could you imagine getting shit talked to you that bad
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 2: where it's like, oh, you don't have anybody out there.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: But I was like, well they just bunt.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. First they didn't really think about that part.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: But yeah, he was great.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: There's still more crazy stuff going on or about to happen.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 2: Let me see here.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: Oh oh in the off season, what do you think
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: he would do for fun or just for his job?
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: Be a fireman? Close Russell alligators in the circus looking awesome. Right,
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: I was beating. He wasn't really bad drunk too, so
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: then the manager, so he wouldn't get drunk so much.
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: The manager be like, hey, I will if you don't
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: drink for these certain amount of games, I'll pay for
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: a three day fishing trip. He's like cool, fucking shutouts.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: He could just do it like on a whim. That's
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: how good he was at pitching. Let me see here
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: really quick. In nineteen oh three, he had a great season.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: He won twenty two games for the Philly Athletics. This
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: is my favorite year of his life. So he won
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: twenty two games for the Philly Athletics. He toured with
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: a vaudeville acting playgroup nationwide. He saved a woman from drowning.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: He accidentally shot his friend in the hand with a gun.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 2: And then what do you think. The last thing I
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 2: want to say is.
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: You're going in every direction? I have no idea. I've
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: be legitimately stumped.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: Were you thinking got bit by a lion? Because that's
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 2: the answer. Yeah.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: Oh. And then also when he was touring with vaudeville,
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: he didn't know his lines because he couldn't read very well,
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: so he would just add libs. All the other actors
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: just had to kind of go with whatever he decided
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: to do. So, Yeah, he had a really bad drinking problem.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: One of the reasons that started causing his downward trajectory.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: He got really drunk during a game and he got
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: a fight with one of his teammates and he hurt
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: his shoulders. After that, he really started going downhill. He
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: said at one point he was never sure how many
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: times he got married, not how many girls he was with,
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: but how many.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 2: Times he got married because he got so fucked up
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: so often.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: And this is kind of what the last little thing,
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: because he always tried to help people, saving people's lives.
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: He would volunteer with the fire uh brigrade, brigade or
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: whatever fire department there we go like that. But one
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: time he was in Kentucky and a flood was about
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: to like come, so he stayed out in is middle
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: of the summer or middle of the winter, the complete
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: opposite of what I just said, and he stayed in
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: the water for hours building a levee so the town
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: didn't get flooded. But then he got really sick, and
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 1: then he got TV and he died at age thirty seven.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: Crazy though he did all of that before thirty seven,
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: That before thirty seven, And there's stuff that I didn't
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: even put in there that's just fucking crazy too. But
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: those are my favorite movie. Yeah, that guy was incredible. Yeah,
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: his name was Rube. So I'm assuming if he didn't
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: drink so much and he didn't run off the game
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: for fire fire trucks, he probably might be called the
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: Rube A ward In said the cy Young you know awards.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: That's fucking incredible.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: All right, Well I have one last bick.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: I thought about Keith Hernandez because the whole Seinfeld thing
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 2: is that the flip off one. Yeah, well like.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like there's they do the whole JFK thing with
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: like the magic loogie. It's so funny. But I went with.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: You probably won't recognize this if I say it, but
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 2: coach ed Narrens from Pete and Pete.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, I was wondering if from Phil Depete.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 2: So in Phil Depete, he's the he's their coach and
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: his whole he has like just Win tattooed on his hands.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he coaches from his car.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: And he has a like an air like a bullhorn,
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 2: and he yells instructions at them if they like, if
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 2: they get an error, they have to clean his car
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: and detail it. And so he's but he's great, and
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 2: so it's and then the whole thing is tied with
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 2: the orange Lazarus, the slushy or whatever. But the way
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 2: he delivers his lines is freaking brilliant and like he
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 2: just brings his character brings me.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: So much joy for like one episode that he's in
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: and yeah, you should do a fan thing again for
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: with him, Oh fan fiction, Yeah, because that one we
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: did with uh yeah, that one was great.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: That seems like a fun character. His character's great. Yeah.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 2: There's just like this amazing scene where like so like
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: the whole conflict is like he'll do anything to win,
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: so like he gets a little Pete on the team.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: Just to spew insults at the other.
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 2: Oh. Yeah, so and then Big Pete's conflict is like
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 2: he doesn't he doesn't want to win by cheating. And
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 2: there's this great scene where he like approaches him. He's like, coach,
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: I don't think like we should, you know, win we
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 2: win And he's like, well, that's funny. And he only
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 2: calls him by their number. He's like, that's funny number twelve.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 2: Before you you weren't winn any games at all. And
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 2: he's like, you were just like sand and I took
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 2: that sand and like he grabs the slushy and squeezes
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: it and then I.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: Turned into silt and I molded you. Also that so good,
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: like his delivery everything, So that's fun. He would he
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: has to be on my fucking super cool when I
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: played t ball.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: My number was twelve.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, is that why everything?

  Speaker 1: It was kind of like a ship show in our
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: era growing up playing playing football especially.
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but then I got into music right after that,
• 1:43:20

• 1:43:46
  Speaker 2: Uh. The review is titled duck Man with six exclamation points,
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 2: which I don't know why because we never covered Duckman.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: I like that you counted them though. Yeah, they just
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: say five stars. I'm so happy I found.
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 2: This podcast Duckman.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: Huh, we could do a Duckman.
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 2: I liked Duckman. Yeah, I just actually I just watched
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 2: about a year ago, watched all of them.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: Oh really, really. Yeah, I like the god. Yeah yeah,
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: his son is a weird son.
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 2: Duckman. Huh yeah, we shoul might well duckman. We should
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 2: consider a duckman. We'll do duckman.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: Okay. This next one is a two star review, not
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: as good as a five, about sixty percent worse. Yeah
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: from p James three and they say nineties fans with
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: three exclamation or three question marks. Nineties fans two stars.
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 2: This is my first time listening to this podcast, and
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 2: for some reason, my first episode was a review of
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 2: the film The Craft. I'm not sure why they speak
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: so negatively of this film and seem to be ill
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 2: prepared to discuss it in nineties influences impacts. Perhaps I
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: naively assumed they were movie experts. They don't really know
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: the names of the actors or basic info as it
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 2: pertains to the nineties. One perfect person even asks why
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 2: they're a lot of which movies? In the next there
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 2: were a lot of witch movies? What something unreasonable amount?
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 2: Which movie from Yeah Lucky? Someone mentioned satanic panic later on.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 2: This was also a movie for the MTV audience, but
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 2: they discussed not understanding who it's geared towards. Overall, I
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 2: expected a more thoraw discussion of this film, and they
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 2: impacted Nineties. Hopefully they're more educated with other topics in
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 2: other episodes.
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 1: And do you feel like that person really likes that
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: movie like start Craft? Yeah, they had to do like
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: a search for the craft. I mean we did kind
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: of shit on it.
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 2: Honestly, the movie sucks movie.
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 1: I wasn't here for that episode.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I was thinking that's the one I hosted.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 2: Damn it.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: It's the only one I've ever is that the movie
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: where they go is The Fat Yeah.
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like it's like, oh wow.
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 1: That person, that person is probably in the movie. Yeah,
• 1:45:55
