A Victory Lap for Days of Thunder (EILFM Crossover) · BREAK/FIX the Motorsports & Vehicle Enthusiast Variety Show

• 0:00
  Grand Touring Motorsport started as a social group of car enthusiasts,
• 0:04
  but we've expanded into all sorts of motor sports disciplines and we
• 0:08
  want to share our stories with you.
• 0:10
  Years of racing wrenching and motorsports experience brings together
• 0:14
  a topnotch collection of knowledge and information through our podcast.
• 0:18
  Break Fix
• 0:22
  dearly beloved, we gather here tonight, not in sorrow, but in awe.
• 0:28
  While the world will remember Robert Duval.
• 0:31
  For movies like The Godfather Apocalypse Now, tender Mercies, and a resume that
• 0:38
  reads like the Library of Congress had a baby with the Oscars, we know the truth.
• 0:43
  His real masterpiece, his sine chapel, his Hamlet, his Mount Rushmore, his
• 0:48
  car from Pure American Horsepower.
• 0:50
  Yes.
• 0:51
  I am referring to Days of Thunder, a film where Duvall didn't just act.
• 0:56
  He laid hands on broken race cars like a southern fried automotive shaman, where
• 1:00
  he delivered lines with the gravitas of a man who had seen the face of God.
• 1:04
  And God was drafting at 200 miles per hour where he taught a young Tom Cruise
• 1:09
  the sacred art of rubbing his racing and somehow made it sound like scripture.
• 1:15
  So tonight, as we celebrate the life of Robert Duval, we honor the role
• 1:19
  that defined a generation of Gearheads romantics and people who think NASCAR
• 1:23
  pit strategy is a spiritual practice.
• 1:26
  We salute the man who could whisper to an engine like it was a wounded soldier
• 1:30
  who could diagnose a blown piston ring with the same emotional weight.
• 1:33
  Most actors reserved for death scenes and who proved once and for all that.
• 1:38
  The greatest special effect in cinema is saying, let's build a race car.
• 1:42
  This is not a goodbye.
• 1:43
  This is a victory lap.
• 1:45
  A checkered flagged wave.
• 1:46
  The man who gave us the greatest racing mentored movie history.
• 1:49
  Ladies and gentlemen, start your emotions because tonight we remember Robert Duval.
• 1:54
  The only way that makes sense through the roar of engines, the
• 1:56
  smell of burning rubber and the eternal glory of days of thunder.
• 2:01
  Yeah,
• 2:04
  I gotta say, you need the music from the old Budweisers, like real American heroes.
• 2:10
  Real American heroes.
• 2:11
  Here's to you, Mr. Days of Thunder Pit Crew manager, real man of genius.
• 2:20
  He obviously stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
• 2:25
  What an intro.
• 2:25
  We've never had an intro like this.
• 2:27
  Very nice.

  Hello.
• 3:10
  This is another one we've been putting off for quite a long time.
• 3:13
  I'm looking forward to this.
• 3:15
  I'm assuming this is everybody's first time watching this movie.
• 3:16
  Oh, yeah.
• 3:17
  Oh, you never watched it in back in the early nineties, or this wasn't on a date,
• 3:21
  the Sun Sunday afternoon like TV movie.
• 3:24
  I still haven't seen it.
• 3:30
  I've, I've watched Driven though.
• 3:32
  Is that close enough?
• 3:33
  I, I, I watched, uh, biker Boys Instead, so I'm prepared
• 3:37
  to discuss Biker Boys only.
• 3:40
  Was this your guys' first time seeing it?
• 3:42
  No, no, no.
• 3:44
  First time in 35 years.
• 3:45
  But no, I had seen it.
• 3:47
  Like, and, and the thing was I was watching it, I'm like, oh my God, I know
• 3:50
  every single scene of this movie and I haven't seen it since 1992 or something.
• 3:54
  Yeah.
• 3:55
  But you have like a photographic memory.
• 3:56
  I, I did.
• 3:57
  At least it sticks with you.
• 3:58
  You did Until you got hit in the face with a, uh, was it a
• 4:01
  Suburban, uh, the Ford Bronco two?
• 4:04
  Yes.
• 4:04
  The Bronco two.
• 4:05
  The Bronco two.
• 4:05
  That's right.
• 4:06
  Because the Bronco two joke will never get old.
• 4:08
  But you know what, uh, what helps with my memory?
• 4:11
  What's that, Steve?
• 4:12
  Ah, my top, it's tall.
• 4:15
  We have from Wasatch Brewing, the Devastator Doppelbock Lager.
• 4:19
  Uh, 8% alcohol by volume.
• 4:21
  One of my favorite beers had to do it for this movie 'cause it's intense.
• 4:25
  Oh babe, you don't even need a cup.
• 4:26
  You got, you got your own Gone.
• 4:29
  Hey guys, guys.

  The good news is you can just recycle it.

  I don't have anything to drink, but I'm celebrating with some Girl Scout cookies.
• 5:03
  Yeah.
• 5:03
  I'm glad you finished that with cookies.

• 5:09
  I had chocolate ice cream while watching.
• 5:12
  Oh, look at that.
• 5:13
  Well, we'll get to that.
• 5:14
  Look, we all know that Mount Mandan is not rich enough to have real Girl Scouts.
• 5:18
  That's only reserved for the billionaires and only on the islands.
• 5:21
  Oh, topical.

• 6:23
  Oops.
• 6:23
  Almost all bangers.
• 6:25
  Wait, I, I thought this was a Bruckheimer film.
• 6:27
  Well, he didn't direct it.
• 6:29
  That doesn't, nobody else Matters.
• 6:30
  It's a Bruckheimer film.
• 6:31
  Oh, oh, oh.
• 6:33
  Don Simpson would like to talk to you, sir. I wrote down Jerry Bruckheimer Boom.
• 6:38
  The only name that matters.
• 6:39
  Yep.
• 6:40
  Simpson and Bruckheimer.
• 6:41
  So, you know, there's transforming robots all throughout this movie,
• 6:45
  but guys, the writers of this movie, pure Hollywood Legends.
• 6:50
  Like Robert Town.
• 6:52
  Who's he?
• 6:52
  Steve.
• 6:53
  Well, babe, we talked about him recently because, uh, you might remember
• 6:56
  him from the last Woman on Earth.
• 6:58
  Oh, he was the, uh, the third guy in that.
• 7:00
  Th he was the third guy.
• 7:02
  Yep.
• 7:03
  Oh, shit.
• 7:04
  And then he started writing, uh, you know, classics like Chinatown
• 7:08
  work, uh, Chinatown's movie I saw when I was way too young.
• 7:11
  Yes.
• 7:12
  This, I watched that when I was like six said, anyone who's ever seen
• 7:16
  Chinatown, I was way too young for this.
• 7:18
  I think I'm still too young to watch it.
• 7:20
  We also wrote Orca Grey Stove.
• 7:23
  Lord of the eight Orca, the Killer Whale Orca, the Killer Whale Ohca the Killer.
• 7:27
  Have you guys seen Orca The Killer Whale?
• 7:29
  Of course not.
• 7:29
  Probably not, because there's no cars in it.
• 7:32
  Thanks.
• 7:32
  We're not one dimensional.
• 7:34
  He also wrote Mission Impossible.
• 7:36
  Right?
• 7:36
  Mission Impossible.
• 7:37
  And Mission Impossible too.
• 7:39
  But hey, we can't win 'em all.
• 7:40
  Am I right?
• 7:42
  And the firm.
• 7:43
  Okay.
• 7:44
  But there's another writer on this movie, guys.
• 7:46
  Thomas Cruz.
• 7:48
  Oh, who's he?
• 7:49
  Steve?
• 7:49
  Well, he's basically wrote this.
• 7:52
  I didn't know that.
• 7:53
  And an upcoming SpaceX project to be released the next five years or whatever.
• 7:57
  Uh, but you've probably seen him act in a handful of things like Tropic Thunder.
• 8:01
  Oh, okay.
• 8:02
  Obscure things like Tropic Thunder.
• 8:03
  Yeah.
• 8:03
  Tropic Thunder.
• 8:05
  I'm trying to think of like an obscure Tom Cruise movie, but
• 8:07
  there really isn't any Oops.
• 8:08
  All that Night and day former SCCA former Trans Am racer.
• 8:14
  Tom Cruise.
• 8:15
  That's right.
• 8:15
  He dra he raced with Paul Newman.
• 8:17
  Yeah, he wasn't very good apparently.
• 8:20
  What?
• 8:21
  That's why he just was like, you know what, screw it.
• 8:23
  I'm just gonna buy myself a, uh, le Was it a, a Russian, uh, bomber jet?
• 8:28
  What is, what is the plane he owns?
• 8:29
  One of the planes ends, well, according to Tropic Thunder, it's a G five.
• 8:32
  Oh, there you go.
• 8:33
  G five.
• 8:34
  Well, you know, I, I do, I do go to Tropic Thunder for all of
• 8:37
  my super accurate information.
• 8:39
  Les Goldman is one of my favorite characters.
• 8:41
  I'm just gonna say she does drink lots of booy sweat.
• 8:44
  It's true.
• 8:45
  Tom Cruise also stars in this movie.
• 8:47
  Guys.
• 8:47
  What?
• 8:48
  He's the one playing Cold Trickle.
• 8:49
  The writer of the movie has a cameo in this movie that never happens.
• 8:55
  Cameo.
• 8:57
  Like not every single scene of the movie.
• 9:00
  Like he's not just scouring in the shadows of other, when
• 9:03
  other characters are talking.
• 9:05
  You're that little guy in the corner.
• 9:06
  Eh?
• 9:06
  I don't mind him.
• 9:08
  We don't talk to him much.
• 9:09
  Wait, so how tall is Tom Cruise?
• 9:11
  I don't know.
• 9:12
  You're the guy who knows Celebrity Heights.
• 9:13
  He's five foot two.
• 9:14
  I'll, I'll throw it out there.
• 9:15
  I dunno.
• 9:16
  Do you over under, does he come up to your belt or your nipples?
• 9:20
  Oh, I didn't stand next to him.
• 9:22
  I didn't put him up on my shoulder and help him reach the top shelf.
• 9:26
  You could though, right?
• 9:27
  I mean, I don't know.
• 9:28
  He's probably a little bigger than that.
• 9:29
  He's five foot seven guys.
• 9:31
  Is that on the internet?
• 9:32
  So do you guys think they had a cold Kidman taller than me?
• 9:35
  I don't know how tall you are.
• 9:36
  I've never met you.
• 9:37
  Five seven.
• 9:38
  Oh, okay.
• 9:39
  Yes.
• 9:39
  I do think Nicole kid's taller than you.
• 9:41
  Yeah, she's, she's gotta be like six foot, right.
• 9:44
  I thought she was, but she's actually five 11.
• 9:46
  I mean, she is Australian.
• 9:48
  I was about to say, I think she's five 11 or be sure that's not like
• 9:50
  metric conversion or something, like it gets lost from Australia to hear.
• 9:54
  No.
• 9:54
  Well, the problem is, yeah, I don't, she's probably always in three
• 9:57
  inch heels, so she is seemingly six foot, she's an Australian five 11.
• 10:03
  She's always in heels.
• 10:04
  Tom is always standing on a soapbox like they're the perfect power couple.
• 10:07
  Yes.
• 10:08
  Because they are the same height throughout the movie.
• 10:10
  Yes.
• 10:11
  Yeah.
• 10:11
  I, no, no.
• 10:12
  There's a couple of scenes where you can tell she's taller than him because
• 10:15
  they try to shoot it at weird angles.
• 10:16
  Specifically when like he's trying to do like his neurological tests.
• 10:20
  Mm-hmm.
• 10:21
  Yeah.
• 10:21
  There's like the shots of them both supposed to be, uh, flatfooted.
• 10:24
  There's a reason why those are weird angles.
• 10:26
  Y'all, Uhhuh, he's trying to balance on top of a chair.
• 10:30
  Well, one of the thing is when you look it up online, you know what his height is?
• 10:33
  There's a thing right below it says, is Tom Cruise Actually five seven.
• 10:37
  And I clicked on that and it brings up Tom Cruise stands
• 10:39
  approximately five feet, seven.
• 10:41
  Oh my goodness.
• 10:43
  It depends on if he's wearing his heels.
• 10:45
  Five foot five.
• 10:46
  There's approximately 7 billion people on this planet.
• 10:50
  Yeah.
• 10:50
  Give, give or take a bill.
• 10:52
  Yeah, exactly.
• 10:53
  But, uh, guys, Robert Duvall, as you mentioned, is in this movie.
• 10:56
  Tanya mentioned a whole bunch of 'em.
• 10:58
  Uh, a couple ones I just wanna throw in there.
• 11:00
  Gone in 60 seconds.
• 11:02
  Ah, yeah.
• 11:03
  Always good.
• 11:04
  Open range.
• 11:04
  Secondhand lions.
• 11:06
  Deep impact.
• 11:07
  Lonesome Dove.
• 11:09
  Yeah.
• 11:09
  Yeah.
• 11:09
  Lonesome Dove.
• 11:10
  There we go.
• 11:11
  Gods and Generals.
• 11:12
  Good.
• 11:12
  Oh yeah, yeah, that's a good one.
• 11:14
  Has there ever been a movie that Duval was in that wasn't good?
• 11:18
  Oh, we do watch a lot of bad westerns with my mother.
• 11:21
  Yeah.
• 11:21
  I say, hold on, hold on.
• 11:22
  I, I was trying to remember if he was like in Ghost Writer or something,
• 11:25
  like, no, no, that's Henry Fonda.
• 11:27
  Dude.
• 11:28
  Duvall would've added an extra star to that movie, so it would've had
• 11:31
  two, two stars because Nick Cage, Lamber and Duval equals two stars.
• 11:37
  Oh, Lamber was in the second one.
• 11:38
  That's right.
• 11:38
  He was in the second one.
• 11:39
  And Raselva, but no.
• 11:41
  Oh, that's right.
• 11:42
  So that one gets two stars as well, at least.
• 11:44
  Yeah.
• 11:45
  Speaking of two stars, Nicole Kidman as Dr. Claire Lewicki.
• 11:49
  You guys might know her from Moulin Rouge, Batman forever, far and away.
• 11:53
  BMX Bandits the hours.
• 11:55
  Aquaman the Northman Practical magic birth.
• 11:59
  Mm. Birth, uh, trespass, be witch, cold Mountain to die for anybody else,
• 12:05
  we might also know her as the woman formerly married to the writer of this
• 12:09
  particular movie who does a cameo.
• 12:10
  She was married to Robert Town.
• 12:16
  Gary Heimer.
• 12:18
  Yes.
• 12:19
  Yes, yes.
• 12:19
  Uh, also married to Tom Cruise at some point.

  Yes.
• 12:47
  Uh, John c Re, Senator Fred Thompson.

  Everybody's in this movie.
• 12:52
  I, I think I wrote down a couple more in my notes, like, oh, shit.
• 12:55
  That's, I think the only person that's not really notable is the
• 12:59
  guy that plays rowdy in this.
• 13:01
  You're like, who is that guy?
• 13:01
  Michael Rucker.

• 13:15
  Did you not know who he was?
• 13:16
  I mean, I've seen his face.

  All of that's true.
• 13:38
  Apparently he's not in many racing movies is what I'm hearing.
• 13:41
  He's in this one and it's the only one that counts.
• 13:44
  Or Hallmark Christmas movies, whatever Eric watches.
• 13:46
  I dunno.
• 13:47
  Michael Rucker in Brooke Shields in the Christmas Castle too.
• 13:50
  Guys, watch the Christmas castle.
• 13:52
  It's so stupid, but.
• 13:54
  Also charming.
• 13:55
  Speaking of, I took your recommendation from the last time we got together and I
• 13:59
  watched the knockoff movie with Van Dam.
• 14:03
  Yeah.
• 14:03
  Oh, that's what we we're here to talk about then.
• 14:07
  What did you think of knockoff two thumbs up over here?
• 14:10
  It was awesome.
• 14:12
  It's so bad you can't stop watching it.
• 14:14
  Right?
• 14:14
  A thousand percent.
• 14:15
  It was, I digress.
• 14:17
  All right, well, how'd you guys, uh, watch Days of Thunder?
• 14:19
  You have like your Blu-rays at home or, so I do have the DVD, however,
• 14:26
  it didn't feel like firing up.
• 14:27
  The only thing I could play it on, which would be the Xbox, it streams on
• 14:31
  Paramount Plus, so I watched it there.
• 14:34
  Yeah.
• 14:34
  It is a Tom Cruise movie.
• 14:35
  So Tanya's right there, I mean, what Self-Respecting Car Enthusiast doesn't
• 14:39
  have a copy of Days of Thunder on DVD.
• 14:41
  Granted, I have a copy of Tanya's copy of her DVD, but I watched it on Fandango.
• 14:49
  Oh man.
• 14:49
  The copy of the copy of the DVD is like, that's a dying heritage thing of ours.
• 14:54
  Like, that's why they don't make DVDs.
• 14:56
  They like, like, you know how like UNESCO had like trace to protect
• 14:59
  the like intangible, uh, heritage things like the copy of the copy of
• 15:03
  the cd, they're, they're going away.
• 15:05
  We have to preserve our heritage.
• 15:06
  It's like, it's like cursive right there next to mix tapes.
• 15:09
  What are we talking about?
• 15:10
  Yeah.
• 15:11
  Yeah.
• 15:11
  Babe, what was the last time somebody gave you a mix tape?
• 15:13
  I also failed to mention I did not watch the movie alone.
• 15:16
  Oh.
• 15:18
  Oh.
• 15:18
  He made his kids watch it.
• 15:20
  I watched it with Brad and I brought the sweet and low packets.
• 15:24
  Oh my.
• 15:26
  Wow.
• 15:27
  Don't lie.
• 15:28
  You watched it.
• 15:29
  I was looking through your window binoculars.
• 15:32
  I was channeling my inner Tanya watching it that way.
• 15:36
  We did have ice cream.
• 15:37
  We did have ice cream.
• 15:38
  Nobody invited me over.
• 15:40
  We had ice cream.
• 15:43
  We shared a meal at Bdubs and then went home and watched it.
• 15:46
  We did.
• 15:47
  It was, it was nice.
• 15:48
  It was a good time.
• 15:49
  Yeah, it was nice.
• 15:49
  Very sensual.
• 15:50
  Yeah.
• 15:50
  Tender moment.
• 15:51
  Very, very well backlit and we had to pause a couple times.
• 15:56
  Did you place again?
• 15:58
  Sweet and low packets, I'm telling you.
• 16:00
  We'll, yeah, we'll get there.
• 16:02
  It works every time.
• 16:03
  He showed me how to draft,
• 16:09
  get prepared for this racing season.
• 16:11
  Oh yeah.
• 16:12
  Robin was racing that night.
• 16:16
  So, speaking of racing, all right, we hit play.
• 16:18
  Oh my heart's racing now.
• 16:20
  Music Montage City.
• 16:22
  Yeah.
• 16:23
  We get a nice shot of the track at Sunrise and, uh, I, I don't know, have
• 16:27
  you guys ever been to a race track before?
• 16:30
  No.
• 16:30
  Never.
• 16:30
  Never, never.
• 16:31
  Okay.
• 16:31
  Okay.
• 16:32
  I just, I was just curious like, like to me, this, I might as
• 16:34
  well have been looking at like, I don't know, middle earth.
• 16:37
  'cause I'm like, oh yeah, okay.
• 16:38
  There's a road, there's bleachers on the side.
• 16:40
  Okay.
• 16:41
  Must be a parade or something coming along.
• 16:42
  I don't know.
• 16:43
  I will say the opening shot with the music montage and the shots of Daytona
• 16:48
  and, oh dude, the confederate flags, the cigarettes, the beer, the Richard Petty.
• 16:55
  I'm like, fucking eighties.
• 16:56
  Let me in.
• 16:59
  I was like, well, those flags didn't age well.
• 17:03
  This is childhood right here.
• 17:04
  My goodness.
• 17:05
  Ugh.
• 17:06
  I was telling Steve, like I didn't watch a ton of like NASCAR and that, but
• 17:11
  when I did, it was like during the time period of which this is all shot and one
• 17:17
  of our friends would throw a uh, indie 500 party, like the way like people do,
• 17:21
  like the uh, uh, Kentucky Derby parties.
• 17:24
  Yeah.
• 17:24
  We'd all go over to their house and like basically the TV would be on
• 17:27
  mute for until like the last 10 laps.
• 17:29
  But we'd all get together and there'd be beers and snacks
• 17:32
  and all of that, you know.
• 17:34
  And the sad part, Izzy, I'm on the other side.
• 17:35
  I feel like I never left this era of nascar.
• 17:38
  'cause I can't name three current NASCAR drivers.
• 17:41
  But I can tell you everything that happened back then,
• 17:43
  we tried doing that too.
• 17:44
  I'm like, I think Kyle Busch is still driving or does he retire?
• 17:48
  Is he coach now?
• 17:49
  Like ge, Jeff Gordon.
• 17:50
  Is he dead?
• 17:51
  Like, like we were seriously, like I'm sure Earnhardt.
• 17:54
  Junior, maybe the third.
• 17:56
  Now, I don't know.
• 17:57
  I, I haven't really paid attention.
• 17:59
  Like, I don't even know what app or channel or somebody
• 18:04
  would go to to watch it.
• 18:05
  Oh, well it's gotta be on Fox.
• 18:07
  If you, if you got one of the names from back then, the last names,
• 18:09
  there's a chance they have a racing team or affiliated with the current
• 18:12
  racing team or something like that.
• 18:15
  But as for drivers, it's like good luck naming any of the new ones.
• 18:19
  Yeah.
• 18:19
  Yeah.
• 18:19
  Joe Gibbs is still around, right?
• 18:21
  Oh man.
• 18:22
  Wow.
• 18:23
  There's a poll.
• 18:24
  Joe Gibbs.
• 18:26
  It's a football coach.
• 18:27
  That's why I know it.
• 18:30
  But yeah, guys, we got a race.
• 18:31
  It's race day.
• 18:34
  We meet, uh, rowdy, uh, what's his last name?
• 18:37
  Rowdy.
• 18:38
  Rowdy.
• 18:38
  Rowdy Piper.
• 18:39
  Yeah.
• 18:39
  Rowdy Piper.
• 18:40
  Yeah.
• 18:40
  Yeah.
• 18:40
  Rowdy Burns.
• 18:41
  Rowdy Burns.
• 18:42
  That's his name.
• 18:43
  But yeah, rowdy Piper, Michael Rucker.
• 18:45
  He is, uh, he takes out Richard Petty during the race or whatever,
• 18:48
  and I'm like, he did the King Dirty.
• 18:51
  I did.
• 18:51
  Yeah.
• 18:53
  I surprised Richard signed off on that.
• 18:56
  But did we actually see Richard Petty or they just said it was Richard Petty?
• 18:59
  No, he was there when they were like interviewing the guys.
• 19:02
  He had a cameo.
• 19:03
  Yeah.
• 19:03
  Oh, okay.
• 19:04
  I have to go back.
• 19:05
  And I didn't notice it because I was like, I thought Petty was done by that point.
• 19:08
  Racing.
• 19:09
  Maybe not, maybe just thereafter, but still.
• 19:11
  Anyway, 1990, I think he was wrapping up.
• 19:14
  He was starting his acting career.
• 19:16
  Yeah.
• 19:16
  Apparently him and uh, Sam Elliot, were gonna have like a little spinoff.
• 19:21
  Oh my God.
• 19:22
  And a love child.
• 19:24
  Days of mustache.
• 19:26
  Of the the car for him that he pushes him off track on.
• 19:29
  I couldn't help but to get the feel of, it was like a kind of throwback.
• 19:33
  To Earnhardt being known as the intimidator, being aggressive,
• 19:36
  pushing people off track and stuff.
• 19:38
  Hard to be a throwback when Dale was still relevant at the time.
• 19:41
  It, it was like they threw it out there as a subtle, you know, comparison.
• 19:45
  But yes, I think it was intentional.
• 19:47
  Well, if you think about the rest of the drivers that were in the
• 19:49
  movie and the names that were used, Earnhardt didn't show up.
• 19:53
  So you could say that Rowdy was Earnhardt in some respects.
• 19:57
  But the question is, who was Tom Cruise then?
• 19:59
  Was he like Dale Jarret or something like I Dick Trickle?
• 20:02
  Dick Trickle?
• 20:02
  No, I think, I think it was supposed to be Jeff Gordon.
• 20:04
  Oh, okay.
• 20:05
  I don't think Gordon came around for another year or two.
• 20:07
  Like he was very Jeff Gordon from, yeah, what I could, that makes sense.
• 20:10
  What limited knowledge I have.
• 20:12
  But you know, California boy coming on down, there was a great quote there.
• 20:16
  As they're talking about him, did you catch that it's Duval and
• 20:20
  Qua are talking at some point?
• 20:22
  Oh, when we leave the race to cut to a random farm in Charlotte for some reason.
• 20:25
  Yeah, yeah.
• 20:25
  Well, yeah, they, yeah, it's there.
• 20:27
  Yeah, exactly.
• 20:28
  And he's like, is he a Yankee?
• 20:29
  No, he's from California.
• 20:31
  And if you're California, you're not really anything.
• 20:33
  And I was like, what?
• 20:34
  What?
• 20:35
  What are we talking about here?
• 20:37
  There's some good old boys.
• 20:39
  From what I understand, qua owns a few, uh, used car lots or something.
• 20:42
  Yes.
• 20:43
  But he wants to start a racing team and so he goes to the, the old vet, Robert
• 20:47
  Duvall, who's retired from the sport.
• 20:49
  Another good quote from Duvall when they're on the farm, he says, worse
• 20:52
  things than spreading a little fertilizer.
• 20:54
  And I'm like, there's some good one liners in this movie.
• 20:56
  I'm telling you.
• 20:57
  Classic writing and re retired.
• 21:00
  Definitely not because of investigation.
• 21:02
  You know, the, the Nick Saban route we like to call it in other sports.
• 21:06
  What other people can pay now.
• 21:08
  Well, shit, I'm retiring.
• 21:09
  Implications.
• 21:10
  Exactly.
• 21:11
  I need you to come back for, you know, one more, one more job.
• 21:14
  One more good race or one more.
• 21:16
  Got this kid.
• 21:17
  I just need you to build a car for him.
• 21:19
  Alright.
• 21:20
  This kid from California, they don't have the, the car built yet.
• 21:24
  Still wants to see like what kind of driver he is.
• 21:26
  So they borrow Rowdy's car.
• 21:28
  And then Tom Cruise comes rolling in straight off the set of Top Gun
• 21:34
  on a motorcycle and everything.
• 21:36
  Well, he did switch the, uh, Crocket to a cruiser, though I didn't even pay
• 21:40
  that much of attention to the bike.
• 21:41
  I just knew he was on a bike.
• 21:43
  He looks funny on a cruiser.
• 21:44
  Yeah, he does.
• 21:45
  'cause he is so small.
• 21:46
  We, we covered.
• 21:47
  Yeah, like, like it might be a little too big for him.
• 21:49
  It's like a kid on a big wheel.
• 21:51
  Oh, five foot seven of Tom Cruise.
• 21:53
  Wink, wink.
• 21:53
  The towering man.
• 21:55
  That is Tom Cruise.
• 21:56
  He's got a little pedal risers on there so he can pop the clutch if need be.
• 22:00
  He's used to being a, a backpack.
• 22:02
  Where's my basket?
• 22:03
  So then they start arguing about borrowing Rowdy's car, which I thought was all
• 22:07
  arranged and that whole kind of thing.
• 22:09
  Right.
• 22:09
  I thought it was really funny.
• 22:11
  At some point they asked him about his experience.
• 22:14
  Yeah.
• 22:14
  Basically he's got none.
• 22:16
  Yeah.
• 22:16
  Like I saw it on ESPN.
• 22:18
  What you can learn a lot on ES, espn.
• 22:21
  I'm like, excuse me.
• 22:23
  Even I'm skeptical at that point, like, forget being good old boy in
• 22:26
  this California Yankee or whatever.
• 22:28
  I'm like, I'm sorry you've never driven a professional stock car.
• 22:32
  Like, eh, can't be too different from, uh, these other things.
• 22:35
  Like, oh, I assure you it is 10 years later it would've been video games.
• 22:39
  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 22:40
  It had been F1, the movie or whatever.
• 22:42
  Yeah.
• 22:43
  I played it on Forza Grand Charisma.
• 22:45
  That's it.
• 22:46
  That's it.
• 22:47
  Did anybody pick up that Randy Quaid was that he was bitching about how
• 22:51
  much it cost to rent the track?
• 22:52
  Did you hear what he said?
• 22:53
  It was like 2,500 or something like that.
• 22:55
  Yeah.
• 22:55
  To rent the tr hour.
• 22:57
  For the day.
• 22:58
  Oh, for the day.
• 22:59
  I was like, my God, it's so cheap.
• 23:01
  It's so cheap.
• 23:01
  Even with the, yeah.
• 23:02
  You have to remember, gas is 79 cents a gallon and Yeah.
• 23:06
  If you made $19,000 a year, you like could buy three houses.
• 23:11
  Yeah.
• 23:11
  Desert Storm hadn't started yet.
• 23:13
  Not to take too much of an off ramp here, but Brad pointed something
• 23:17
  out to me about this point in the movie that I never realized before.
• 23:20
  Right.
• 23:20
  So we mentioned during, we were talking about the people
• 23:22
  that were in the movie, John C.
• 23:23
  Reilly, I'm sure we'll get to this at some point.
• 23:26
  John c re was in Talladega Knights Sure was.
• 23:29
  He plays the exact same character, literally the exact same character,
• 23:32
  more or less, but he's a driver.
• 23:33
  But Brad goes.
• 23:35
  Look at the helmet, and I'm like, wait, what?
• 23:38
  Brad, do you wanna explain the rest of this?
• 23:39
  Look at the helmet thing you told me.
• 23:41
  To me it looked like it was the same kind of red, white, and blue as the Old
• 23:44
  Spice helmets that he was wearing in.
• 23:46
  Yeah.
• 23:46
  Talladega Knights.
• 23:47
  Talladega Knights basically shake and bake this movie off.
• 23:50
  Yes.
• 23:50
  It's a parody of this movie.
• 23:52
  Right.
• 23:52
  And this movie, ripped Off Top Gun,
• 23:57
  made the circle and Broken.
• 24:01
  Show me the sweet and low packets in Top Gun.
• 24:04
  Yeah, that's the volleyball scene.
• 24:06
  Oh, oh yeah.
• 24:07
  Who low we got?
• 24:12
  Yeah.
• 24:12
  So, uh, what happens to, yeah, so they're like, Hey, come
• 24:15
  on, take, take a chance on me.
• 24:16
  Let me, let me show you what I can do.
• 24:18
  And they're like, all right.
• 24:20
  He goes out there, he does like a 31 second lap or whatever, which
• 24:23
  apparently pretty dang good.
• 24:25
  He starts asking like, I, I heard you got fired by your last sponsor or whatever.
• 24:29
  And you know, he is like, yeah, yeah, we don't need to talk about that.
• 24:32
  I just need a car, man.
• 24:33
  I can drive.
• 24:33
  You know I can drive.
• 24:34
  Come on.
• 24:35
  And then we cut to Harry, just sweet talking the frame of a car saying,
• 24:39
  oh baby, I'm gonna be so good to you.
• 24:42
  I'm gonna make you so fast.
• 24:45
  Oh, you ain't even gonna love it.
• 24:47
  Talk about like Burgess Meredith in a jet.
• 24:50
  Thank you.
• 24:51
  That's what I wrote down.
• 24:52
  I wrote down the last Chase exclamation points.
• 24:57
  Oh babe, you let me inside of you.
• 24:59
  We're gonna go places.
• 25:01
  He wasn't creepy though, wasn't it though?
• 25:03
  Burgess Meredith was creepy.
• 25:04
  He was creepy.
• 25:06
  No, no.
• 25:06
  It was.
• 25:07
  Yes.
• 25:10
  I mean, we all talk to inanimate objects like that, right?
• 25:12
  Just all the time.
• 25:13
  I'm more of a like you stupid piece of shit.
• 25:16
  Yeah, that You die on me now.
• 25:17
  No, no, no.
• 25:17
  Please, please.
• 25:18
  Just start baby.
• 25:19
  I swear.
• 25:19
  I swear.
• 25:20
  I'll get you a tune up.
• 25:20
  Just start this one time for me.
• 25:22
  Please, please, please.
• 25:22
  Just, just turn on.
• 25:24
  Just, just, just turn over.
• 25:25
  You ain't even gotta be smooth.
• 25:26
  You just gotta get me off this freeway.
• 25:28
  Please, please, please.
• 25:29
  Us in the van the other day.
• 25:31
  Yeah.
• 25:32
  Oh God.
• 25:32
  Damnit.
• 25:32
  It's like Nicholas Cage and Eleanor gone in 60 seconds.
• 25:35
  Pat the dash like there you go.
• 25:38
  But you know, we get a nice little building montage where they get
• 25:41
  the car all ready for the track.
• 25:43
  Sponsored by Chitty Chevy.
• 25:45
  That's right.
• 25:45
  Lemon Lime, no CI City Chevy.
• 25:47
  I guess that's uh, Quaids Place.
• 25:50
  And now we're at Phoenix International Race Wave.
• 25:52
  Yeah.
• 25:53
  And we uh, get to the race and of course Rowdy's trade paint.
• 25:57
  Ah, yeah.
• 25:59
  That's where we find out Rubbing is racing baby.
• 26:01
  Rubbing is racing gospel according to Robert Duvall rubbing his racing.
• 26:05
  I don't watch a lot of racing because I've got everything to do.
• 26:09
  Do they like sandwich the other cars and like knock 'em all over the track and
• 26:13
  stuff like it's portrayed in this movie?
• 26:14
  'cause that seems.
• 26:16
  Dangerous.
• 26:17
  They'll go three abreast, but it's usually not ping pong ho it's not
• 26:22
  ping pong like you saw in the movie.
• 26:25
  That was very much exaggerated.
• 26:26
  You know, obviously for the drama and for the excitement.
• 26:29
  I mean, they, I believe they call that a dramatization.
• 26:32
  Yes.
• 26:33
  Yeah.
• 26:33
  Dramatization, like skipping 300 laps.
• 26:35
  Yeah, they do go three wide and stuff, so yeah, that's, that's true.
• 26:39
  I believe the term was three abreast, like total recall.
• 26:42
  Yes, yes, yes.
• 26:44
  But it was also a different time back then in the eighties.
• 26:48
  Yeah, that, that's kinda why I was asking too.
• 26:50
  'cause like I know nowadays it's like, oh, they incidentally touched, that's like a
• 26:54
  two race suspension or, you know, it, not quite that extreme, but it's like, it's
• 26:58
  very much like safety in mind since, uh, I think of it like, basketball Babe only
• 27:02
  touched that guy, spent it for two games.
• 27:04
  I mean, 83 goddamn points for BA anyway.
• 27:07
  But, but yeah, I, I just know it's like a lot more like, all
• 27:10
  right, bring out the warning flag.
• 27:12
  Well we're gonna have half this race with the warning flags and stuff like that.
• 27:15
  Like, ever since Dale Earnhardt may or may not be the, the rowdy burns
• 27:19
  of this movie, since he passed in a questionable means, it's like, well,
• 27:23
  okay, triple down on the safety.
• 27:25
  Absolutely.
• 27:25
  But, but yeah, I don't know if like seventies and eighties it was more like,
• 27:28
  oh yeah, they had six shooters and were allowed to pop 'em every once in a while.
• 27:32
  Just, it's a wild West just to assert dominance.
• 27:34
  Yeah.
• 27:34
  Yeah, exactly.
• 27:35
  You know what, babe?
• 27:36
  I think I have a way to bring us all back to racing.
• 27:40
  Death race, 2000.
• 27:41
  Absolutely.
• 27:42
  Yep.
• 27:42
  I do recall races back then where after the races were done and there
• 27:46
  was contact out on the track, there were fights in the paddocks afterwards.
• 27:50
  Oh, a hundred percent.
• 27:51
  Yeah.
• 27:52
  Four.
• 27:53
  NASCAR started getting strict and not allowing that sort
• 27:55
  of actions from the drivers.
• 27:57
  It happened somewhat regularly because NASCAR's pussies is what I'm hearing.
• 28:01
  Yeah, sure.
• 28:02
  Sponsors, you know, sponsors or pussies.
• 28:05
  That's what I'm hearing.
• 28:07
  That's why whoever we, well yeah, now they're not smokes and beer
• 28:10
  and whiskey and welcome to the Crown Royal 400 or whatever.
• 28:15
  Yeah.
• 28:15
  Welcome to the Marlboro 400, where it's gonna end.
• 28:18
  Winston Cup series.
• 28:19
  You say its with bear buckle knocks boxing.
• 28:23
  We're down the last five drivers, but now they're putting on the gloves, dipping it
• 28:27
  in broken glass, and going at each other.
• 28:29
  So this is where another one of my favorite lines comes from in the movie.
• 28:33
  So you, as you mentioned, he's kind of bouncing off of
• 28:36
  everything or hitting everything.
• 28:37
  They kind of montage all his wrecks through this whole first part here.
• 28:41
  One of the races he comes in, he comes into the pit and Duval walks up to him and
• 28:46
  he's like, I want you to hit the pace car.
• 28:49
  And he's like, what?
• 28:49
  He goes, go out there and hit the pace car.
• 28:52
  He's like, why do you want me to hit the pace?
• 28:54
  Because you hit everything else out there and I want you to be perfect.
• 28:58
  I'm like, I love it.
• 29:00
  I love it so much.
• 29:01
  During this montage of all of his wrecks and stuff, I'm like, I'm dumping his ass.
• 29:05
  If I'm Randy Quaid, like, like, this guy doesn't know, knows terrible what he's
• 29:09
  doing, or maybe they're just targeted him or whatever, you know, California
• 29:13
  boy, whatever, blah, blah, blah.
• 29:14
  But I'm still like, I, I don't know, man.
• 29:16
  This is, doesn't seem to be having the return.
• 29:19
  Was it now or later in the movie when someone in the pit crew was talking about,
• 29:23
  oh, well this panel's still nice, and then Duval walks up and puts his boot in it.
• 29:27
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 29:29
  No, that's, that's at the end of the montage at night and, and it's
• 29:32
  um, buck, it's John c re points out.
• 29:34
  He's like, look at that panel.
• 29:35
  We don't have to fix it.
• 29:37
  And Duval puts his boot right in there and he and John c
• 29:39
  Reilly's like, why'd you do that?
• 29:40
  And he goes.
• 29:41
  I don't want you to be spoiled Buck.
• 29:44
  I was like, oh my God.
• 29:46
  I love at that point.
• 29:47
  But when at the montage, Robert Duvall's character has basically just given up and
• 29:52
  he is like, yeah, it's a freight train.
• 29:53
  I'm just gonna sit back and join.
• 29:54
  So he is sitting there eating the damn Popsicle alongside of the track while
• 29:57
  he is there sitting in the Talking to, you're taking Eric's thunder.
• 30:00
  Dude.
• 30:01
  It's my favorite scene of the whole movie.
• 30:04
  I need to pit.
• 30:05
  I need to pit.
• 30:06
  No, you can't.
• 30:06
  Can't pit.
• 30:07
  We're busy.
• 30:08
  You busy.
• 30:09
  Whatcha doing?
• 30:10
  We're eating ice cream.
• 30:13
  You are welcome to come on in and get yourself some, come down
• 30:16
  here and get some ice cream.
• 30:18
  It's like, shit.
• 30:22
  And then quad's like, come on you guys.
• 30:24
  You look like a monkey.
• 30:25
  Fucking a football dude.
• 30:27
  Now I know where I got that phrase from.
• 30:29
  I got from this movie.
• 30:30
  I never realized that.
• 30:32
  Same here.
• 30:33
  And the best part is all of this stuff happens in like the first 15 minutes
• 30:39
  in my mind, having not seen this movie in like 30 years, I thought it happened
• 30:44
  like throughout the movie, like it's like, oh yeah, this scene's coming and
• 30:48
  that scene and the ice cream scene.
• 30:49
  No, it's in the first 15 minutes.
• 30:52
  It's like, holy shit.
• 30:53
  My overall feeling of this movie, the first 15 minutes and the last seven
• 30:59
  minutes, all I remember about this movie.
• 31:01
  I remember some things from the hour and 20 minutes in between, but it's like, oh.
• 31:07
  Yeah, hit injury.
• 31:08
  Cool.
• 31:09
  Alright.
• 31:09
  Drama.
• 31:10
  I don't need that shit.
• 31:11
  I need the bruckheimer.
• 31:12
  You know what I mean?
• 31:13
  I need, I need to be fighting some Russian migs.
• 31:16
  See, but the way you described it is just like watching a NASCAR race back then.
• 31:21
  The first 15 minutes were exciting.
• 31:23
  You kind of fell asleep in the middle and you watched the last
• 31:25
  seven minutes for the checkered flag.
• 31:27
  Boom.
• 31:28
  There you go.
• 31:28
  You just explained racing right there.
• 31:30
  In a nutshell, it's a metaphor.
• 31:33
  I guess about seven or eight years ago I went to my first NASCAR race live.
• 31:36
  Well, only one I've been to live.
• 31:38
  'cause I was invited as a guest and no lie, the first five minutes epic.
• 31:41
  Then I was like, okay, I'm sitting there twirling my thumbs for like an hour
• 31:43
  and then it's down to like the last 10 laps and they start racing hard again.
• 31:46
  And I'm like, okay.
• 31:47
  And then it got interesting.
• 31:48
  Yep.
• 31:48
  Rest of 'em, like now I understand why NASCAR fans drink as
• 31:51
  much as they do to kill time.
• 31:52
  Yep.
• 31:54
  And that's just racing in general.
• 31:55
  It's the same way at Rolex 24 at F1 race, you know it gets a 90 minute race.
• 32:01
  You, you watch the first few laps and then you walk around the paddock
• 32:04
  and the vendors and then, oh, there's 10 laps left all let's go watch.
• 32:08
  At least with the multiple turns, I think there's more
• 32:11
  excitement than going in a circle.
• 32:13
  Yeah, I hear what you guys are saying.
• 32:14
  They should all be demo derbies with like that figure eight track and everything.
• 32:18
  Yeah.
• 32:18
  Yes.
• 32:18
  We're simply cut it down to 20 lap, total start to finish.
• 32:22
  They're hauling ass like dirt track and NASCAR originally was.
• 32:25
  They should all be sprint races.
• 32:26
  Yeah, a hundred percent.
• 32:28
  Who or those?
• 32:28
  Uh, the was the three car trains or whatever where
• 32:31
  you got the driver up front?
• 32:32
  The empty one in the middle and the brake guy in the back.
• 32:35
  Yeah, that sounds safe.
• 32:36
  No, it's not safe at all.
• 32:37
  That's why it's awesome.
• 32:38
  No, that's why it's like at the county fair or some shit, you know.
• 32:43
  Have you seen one where the one car is on top, the other one and the person
• 32:46
  on top is steering and the person on the bottom's controlling the top gear?
• 32:48
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 32:50
  Good stuff.
• 32:50
  Yeah, safety is questionable.
• 32:52
  Much like the bar scene that comes after this.
• 32:55
  But guys, we got a problem.
• 32:56
  Tom Cruise, he can't finish the races 'cause he keeps crashing,
• 32:59
  his car's getting fucked up.
• 33:01
  He just can't communicate with Harry.
• 33:03
  It's like they're talking completely different languages.
• 33:05
  I don't know what it is, but hey, if we don't get a good sponsor, we're done.
• 33:09
  Guys.
• 33:09
  We gotta learn to trust one another.
• 33:11
  That's what it's about.
• 33:12
  Trust.
• 33:13
  And so we cut to a bar where trust is ironed out because
• 33:17
  that's just how men do it.
• 33:19
  Harry and, uh, Cole, Tom Cruise and Robert Deval, they're chatting and, uh,
• 33:23
  we find out Tom's dirty little secret.
• 33:25
  He doesn't know shit about cars.
• 33:27
  Yeah.
• 33:28
  Like the terminology, like, oh, you talk about like taking
• 33:30
  a wedge and blah, blah, blah.
• 33:31
  And I'm like, I feel you, Tom.
• 33:33
  I don't know shit about cars, but you know what, I'm not a NASCAR driver.
• 33:38
  Well, neither was he for this either.
• 33:39
  So yeah, he drove outlaws.
• 33:42
  They don't talk about cars on ESPN apparently through about the
• 33:45
  fact that he, you know, he saw it on ESPN and that's, that's the
• 33:48
  best way to keep track of nascar.
• 33:50
  Just the five minute high highlights on ESPN.
• 33:53
  I assume that's why this is a sequel to Top Gun because he's been a
• 33:55
  fighter pilot for so goddamn long.
• 33:57
  He doesn't know anything about cars, but he is like, I just gotta go fast and
• 34:00
  motorcycles just aren't doing it for me.
• 34:02
  But you know what I appreciate about this movie though?
• 34:04
  It's for every scene, like the bar scene.
• 34:07
  That is, let's say a little bit more serious or a little bit more dramatic
• 34:11
  or a little bit more intimate.
• 34:13
  There is some sort of comedy that comes right behind it.
• 34:17
  So what they did here is they give you a little bit of exposition.
• 34:20
  They told you Tom Cruise done the shit about cars.
• 34:22
  And Robert Duvall's like, okay, yeah, all right, I got you sucker.
• 34:26
  And they go into that very next race and he's out there and he's running like crap.
• 34:31
  Robert Dupaul gets on the radio and he is like.
• 34:33
  I just need to tell you, you are match perfect and staggered special.
• 34:37
  And he's like, what?
• 34:38
  He's like the tires, they're match perfect and staggered special and he's
• 34:42
  just making shit up complete bull crap.
• 34:45
  But then Tom Cruise goes out and turns, you know, the miracle mile and it's,
• 34:48
  you know, it's the end of the story.
• 34:49
  So for me, I, I love that little bit of comedy that comes after
• 34:53
  the series and you start to see that pattern develop throughout
• 34:56
  the movie from this point forward.
• 34:57
  And I thought it, I think that's actually fantastic.
• 35:00
  It's a great mentor learning experience for him as Robert and him, especially
• 35:05
  later in the movie where he is like, you got special tires, you can make this turn.
• 35:08
  He is like, you don't, don't do that.
• 35:09
  Turn.
• 35:09
  You got it.
• 35:09
  Take it on the high side.
• 35:11
  You got special tires.
• 35:12
  And it's 'cause he told him that he believed it, so he is
• 35:14
  like, okay, I'm gonna do it.
• 35:15
  Exactly.
• 35:16
  Robert DeVos was thinking, okay, I just killed this kid, but.
• 35:20
  And with that guy's, guess what?
• 35:22
  He got his first win.
• 35:23
  Oh shit, we got a sponsor.
• 35:25
  Life's good roll credits, guys.
• 35:26
  What do we think of?
• 35:28
  Oh wait, this is just the first day of Thunder Uhhuh.
• 35:31
  We have multiple days to go.
• 35:33
  Yeah, they got there to do sponsor, what was it?
• 35:34
  Super flow Motor oil or whatever.
• 35:36
  Yep.
• 35:37
  Oh my God.
• 35:38
  And we got the story about, uh, Cole's last sponsor,
• 35:41
  like racing team or whatever.
• 35:43
  Why he got dropped because real asshole and blah, blah, blah.
• 35:46
  Oh, by the way, it's my dad.
• 35:50
  And, and this is all in the back of the trailers.
• 35:51
  They're going on to the next race or whatever.
• 35:53
  Yep.
• 35:54
  But whoop, whoop, that's the sound of the police.
• 35:56
  They're getting pulled over.
• 35:58
  All right.
• 35:58
  Bang.
• 35:58
  Yeah, there, get outta there.
• 36:00
  And I'm like, and when they were saying the whole like,
• 36:03
  all right, line up, line up.
• 36:05
  Oh, what's this?
• 36:06
  What's this booze like?
• 36:07
  Yeah, we're not driving that.
• 36:08
  That's all I think like I'm allowed to, it's still technically
• 36:11
  an open container in a vehicle.
• 36:13
  They're in the trailer in California.
• 36:15
  That would be considered an open, an open container in a vehicle, babe.
• 36:17
  I think they're in like one of the Carolinas or something in Utah.
• 36:21
  That would be considered an open container in a, in a vehicle.
• 36:24
  Well, okay, you got me there.
• 36:25
  I always question whether or not it was legal alcohol to have,
• 36:28
  'cause he had the mason jar, so I was curious if it was shine.
• 36:31
  I noticed that too.
• 36:32
  Anytime they're drinking outta the mason jar, I'm like, okay, that's shine.
• 36:34
  Mm-hmm.
• 36:35
  Period.
• 36:35
  Yeah.
• 36:36
  No, it's water.
• 36:37
  No, it's shine.
• 36:38
  It shine.
• 36:39
  They're, they're, they're using it to take paint off later,
• 36:41
  you know, like, yeah, exactly.
• 36:43
  Like, oh, this meow yellow is a little rough.
• 36:45
  Let's, uh, let's get this off here.
• 36:46
  But yeah, they get lined up and, uh, one of the officers gets a little,
• 36:50
  a little handsy with coal uhhuh, uh, starts, uh, grabbing that cucumber.
• 36:55
  He's obviously shoved in his pants, rolling nickels and like,
• 37:00
  what's this, what's this here?
• 37:02
  A concealed weapon.
• 37:04
  What's this?
• 37:05
  Is she jack Skeleton?
• 37:07
  What's this?
• 37:07
  What's this?
• 37:08
  Do, do, do, do, do, do.
• 37:10
  It's throbbing in my pants.
• 37:12
  No, but,
• 37:14
  but, uh, but yeah, then, uh, lady Cob starts going, we, we, we, we
• 37:20
  weep and stripping or whatever.
• 37:22
  No, Lil Wayne fans.
• 37:23
  That's cool.
• 37:23
  I'm the only one.
• 37:24
  Are you even a fan of Lil Wayne or do you just like making fun of him?
• 37:27
  Maybe.
• 37:28
  See serious scene, funny scene.
• 37:30
  See now we're flip flopping again.
• 37:31
  It's good stuff.
• 37:32
  That was the throwback to 1980s porn.
• 37:34
  I was a throwback to Cannonball Run.
• 37:36
  Yes, true.
• 37:37
  Oh yeah.
• 37:37
  That wasn't Cannonball.
• 37:38
  Right Now it's Stroker race.
• 37:39
  The same thing, right?
• 37:40
  Because that's the movie that this, if we do that succession
• 37:43
  thing where if we work backwards, Talladega Nights is Days of Thunder.
• 37:47
  Days of Thunder Goes back to Stroker Ace, another movie we should review,
• 37:50
  but we'll just leave it there.
• 37:53
  She was trying to give him a stroke race, but, uh, so yeah, so we're at the
• 37:57
  next race and you know, Tom Cruise, he's rubbing with Rowdy, you know, and man,
• 38:01
  there's a big old crash up in front, big, uh, like eight car pile up or whatever.
• 38:05
  Lot of smoke.
• 38:06
  They go on through there.
• 38:08
  Woo.
• 38:09
  Fucking Tom Cruise hits the gas with his special tires.
• 38:13
  That's the days of thunder move.
• 38:15
  It's sort of like in Star Trek, you got the Riker maneuver.
• 38:18
  This is the days of thunder move.
• 38:19
  Like you see a big smoke cloud, you can't see shit through it.
• 38:23
  Visibility is negative.
• 38:24
  Yeah.
• 38:24
  What do you do?
• 38:25
  You downshift and you floor it and you hold on.
• 38:28
  You straddle that chair and sit in it.
• 38:30
  Yeah.
• 38:30
  What are we talking about?
• 38:30
  The Ryker maneuver.
• 38:31
  You say, Jesus, Jesus, take the wheel.
• 38:34
  Just go for it.
• 38:35
  Right?
• 38:35
  That's the days of thunder.
• 38:36
  Stay high, you stay high and you hit the throttle.
• 38:40
  So again, that's where I'm like, all right, warning flag comes out.
• 38:42
  All the cars stop.
• 38:43
  We, we sit around drinking beers for 20 minutes while they clear out the track.
• 38:48
  No, we just got through that shit, smash cut to them.
• 38:51
  Uh, being in a, being in a wreck and being a life flighted outta there.
• 38:54
  You know, we're at the hospital and we see Dr. Kidman for the first time.
• 38:58
  And again, I'm thinking about eighties porn, Nicole.
• 39:02
  The whole time's like, oh, I can't see.
• 39:04
  I can't see guys.
• 39:05
  I can't see.
• 39:06
  Like, all right, let's, let's get you to a CAT scan, mate.
• 39:10
  Look.
• 39:10
  Okay.
• 39:12
  In her first couple of scenes, it's like, okay, she's covering up her
• 39:15
  Australian accent a little bit.
• 39:16
  Yeah.
• 39:16
  But then about the end of the second act, it's like all coming out and
• 39:20
  it's, it's BMX bandit's all over again.
• 39:22
  And what's her last name supposed to be something like Polish or whatever.
• 39:25
  It makes no sense.
• 39:26
  Yeah.
• 39:26
  Lewicki, yeah.
• 39:27
  Dr. Lewicki, whatever.
• 39:29
  But yeah, it's basically she's like, oh, you got a concussion mate.
• 39:32
  She's like asking Robert Duvall about the helmet, like, was it correct,
• 39:35
  did it have scratches in the front at the back, and blah, blah blah.
• 39:37
  And he's like, discuss on the front the back.
• 39:39
  I think like, I don't know, man.
• 39:40
  I'm not checking out that Burning Death trap.
• 39:42
  We pulled him out of, you know, the next morning Tom Cruise can see again.
• 39:46
  It's okay everybody.
• 39:47
  It's not gonna be about him learning to live without sight.
• 39:51
  Days of Thunder, Don Simpson.
• 39:54
  Jerry Bruckheimer production turns into my left foot for an hour.
• 40:00
  That's great.
• 40:04
  Ballsy.
• 40:05
  But you know, we saw Daniel Day Lewis in my left foot and is like,
• 40:07
  I can get an Oscar, but the next morning he can finally see again.
• 40:11
  So now he sees Lady Doctor for the first time, and of course
• 40:14
  he is like, okay, all right.
• 40:17
  There's no way this Australian supermodels my god damn neurosurgeon.
• 40:23
  And, uh, I got a little something to show you and takes her
• 40:27
  hand and puts it on his shaft.
• 40:29
  And she's like, eh, I'm not impressed.
• 40:33
  Mediocre.
• 40:33
  Yeah.
• 40:36
  She gives the I Morton, Joe mediocre.
• 40:38
  All, all the Steve's Australian accents are from episodes
• 40:43
  of Bluey, every single one.
• 40:45
  It sounds like the characters from Bluey, you guys, it's worse than that.
• 40:47
  Steve's never seen an episode than those.
• 40:50
  He's, uh, basically doing other podcasts.
• 40:53
  I listen to a lot of podcasts guys.
• 40:55
  Uh, I thought he sounded like Rice Davies from Flight of the Concord Murray.
• 40:59
  Oh yeah.
• 41:00
  Yeah.
• 41:01
  Little little kiwi in there.
• 41:02
  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 41:03
  And you're doing the for finger discount guys?
• 41:05
  Yeah, pretty much.
• 41:05
  And, uh oh.
• 41:06
  Who were the two Kiwi girls who you used to podcast with?
• 41:09
  Oh yeah, Jocelyn and, uh, Lyn and Emily BPO's, the name of their podcast.
• 41:14
  They haven't done it in a while, like.
• 41:17
  Four years.
• 41:18
  Yeah.
• 41:19
  Geez.
• 41:19
  When you were doing the, uh, Australian accent there about her grabbing a shaft.
• 41:23
  The way you said it made me think of Crocodo ee where he
• 41:26
  uh, the guy pulls a knife.
• 41:27
  He's like, you call that a knife?
• 41:28
  Yeah.
• 41:29
  Right there about you call that a cock.
• 41:33
  Oh, CRO.
• 41:34
  He's just come be.
• 41:36
  Yeah.
• 41:36
  Oh my God.
• 41:37
  Be so cute to put you on your shoulder.
• 41:39
  See, we know Nicole Kidman's Australian, not Kiwi because
• 41:42
  she was in that movie Australia.
• 41:44
  That's true.
• 41:46
  But so was Hugh Jackman.
• 41:47
  Is he Australian?
• 41:48
  You know, I've heard rumor.
• 41:50
  I also heard rumor he enjoys song and dance.
• 41:52
  Alright guys, now we play the game.
• 41:55
  Australian or Kiwi?
• 41:59
  Eric Bana is Australian.
• 42:01
  I'm just leaving and he's a car guy.
• 42:02
  Just leaving it out there.
• 42:03
  Carl Urban Kiwi.
• 42:05
  I dunno.
• 42:06
  Keith Urban.
• 42:11
  Anyway, so we're done with that game.
• 42:13
  So where are we?
• 42:14
  Yeah, so, uh, so that was embarrassing.
• 42:16
  Oh, I thought she was a stripper.
• 42:21
  Yeah.
• 42:21
  So yeah, Roddy was involved in that crash too.
• 42:23
  So they're both in wheelchairs and they're, uh, going to see
• 42:26
  their neurosurgeon and of course.
• 42:28
  As anyone would do in a hospital pushing wheelchairs side by side down the hallway.
• 42:33
  So absolutely no way nobody can pass.
• 42:35
  But God damnit, we can race one another.
• 42:38
  Oh wait, races aside from you two, Steve, Izzy, the rest of us here,
• 42:44
  when we're like 75 years old in the same hospital together, that scene
• 42:48
  is what we're going to be doing.
• 42:49
  So this is just real life foreshadowed right here.
• 42:52
  I'm just, oh, you don't think Steve and I are gonna be racing?
• 42:56
  I was gonna say, I've already done this and I'm not 75 years old.
• 43:01
  See, it's more like if I'm an orderly standing in the hallway and I see you
• 43:03
  guys coming at me, you better protect your grills 'cause I'm diving at you.
• 43:08
  Yeah.
• 43:08
  I would say Steve's more judging the nurses who were pushing them side by side.
• 43:11
  Yeah, yeah.
• 43:12
  Like, no, no.
• 43:13
  Yeah.
• 43:13
  Like the, the orlie or whatever could have very easily diffused
• 43:17
  the situation by like, oh no, Mr.
• 43:19
  Cruz, you're back here.
• 43:20
  We're going single file so that you know, a hospital can operate around you too.
• 43:24
  Could you imagine though if they had hit that little break on the back?
• 43:27
  He would've done like an endo and like just Yeah.
• 43:29
  Flipped off the wheelchair.
• 43:31
  He, he gets another concussion going into the walk.
• 43:34
  His head pokes through into the ladies' bathroom.
• 43:36
  Oh, becomes porkies.
• 43:39
  Yeah.
• 43:40
  This, this turns into, uh, a goddamn teenage sex comedy for
• 43:43
  the last half of the movie while talking about brain trauma.
• 43:46
  So, yeah, they, uh, they race and, uh, you know, the doctors sitting there waiting
• 43:50
  as they're like, you know, like slapping each other, like trying to push each other
• 43:53
  away and like, all right, well we got the sponsors here, doc, what do you think?
• 43:58
  Can we clear 'em?
• 43:59
  Like, well, no, I can't clear them just yet, but, you know, we can
• 44:02
  reevaluate in a couple of weeks away.
• 44:04
  So then, uh, Senator Fred Thompson turns his chair around.
• 44:08
  I'd like to talk to you about re reverse mortgages
• 44:13
  instead.
• 44:14
  No, he talks about the, the Japanese inspection method or whatever, about
• 44:19
  lettuce being imported, but if you just wait long enough, it just rots away
• 44:22
  and you don't have to worry about it.
• 44:24
  And I'm like, cool.
• 44:25
  Anyw, who?
• 44:27
  But just so you guys know, he, they gave him the name Big John, which was a not
• 44:32
  so subtle hint at Big Bill France, you know, the head of NASCAR or whatever.
• 44:36
  That's who he was supposed to be in that particular instance there, if anybody
• 44:40
  was paying attention, and Eric, obviously I know who that is, but for the people
• 44:43
  who may not know their listening is Bill France, like the king of nascar.
• 44:48
  Is he the commissioner?
• 44:49
  He's the guy that invented nascar basically, that started, it
• 44:52
  invented driving in a circle.
• 44:55
  The, the sanctioning body.
• 44:56
  Nascar, the govern.
• 44:56
  Yeah.
• 44:57
  The governing body.
• 44:58
  Yeah.
• 44:58
  He puts the ass in NASCAR is what?
• 45:00
  Yeah.
• 45:00
  There you go.
• 45:01
  That's the simple answer, but all right.
• 45:04
  Big John.
• 45:05
  He's like.
• 45:06
  Well, you both gonna have dinner with me tonight together.
• 45:10
  You're gonna drive there together and, okay.
• 45:13
  This whole next scene where it's like, yes, yes.
• 45:16
  Oh, oh, they're, they're arguing over who's going to drive the car or whatever.
• 45:20
  I'm like, get a fucking taxi.
• 45:23
  Or Senator Thompson, do yourself a favor.
• 45:26
  Hire somebody to drive them.
• 45:28
  Hell, they can be drinking shine in the back of a trailer.
• 45:31
  Probably not best for their concussions or whatever, but, you know, no, get
• 45:35
  'em there on time, on your own terms.
• 45:37
  This is like dodgeball.
• 45:39
  If you're a professional driver, you don't hire someone else to drive
• 45:42
  or you, that's like Ben Stiller, no one makes me bleed my own blood.
• 45:46
  Right.
• 45:46
  They are gonna drive themselves wherever they're going.
• 45:49
  Is, is that what that was about?
• 45:51
  Yes.
• 45:52
  He, he, he's a professional bleeder, so nobody helps me bleed my own blood.
• 45:55
  Yeah.
• 45:56
  Steve, did you not get that?
• 45:58
  I must have missed the subtext.
• 45:59
  And also because we're honoring Robert Duvall and Harry, we do get
• 46:03
  the scene where he talks to the Lady Doctrine is like, ma'am, I would
• 46:07
  like to apologize for, uh, my friend, uh, putting your hand on his shaft.
• 46:12
  That was purely, purely my fault because you see, a couple days ago
• 46:18
  I reenacted a porn on the side of a highway for him, and he thought you
• 46:22
  were just a continuation of that.
• 46:25
  He just thought you were a hooker.
• 46:26
  But she's like, oh, good mate.
• 46:28
  Hey, have a veggie mike sandwich.
• 46:32
  I come from the good Lord.
• 46:35
  But anyway, uh, so, so cool.
• 46:39
  I entertain the fuck outta myself.
• 46:41
  Oh, then we cut to her like going to her car in a parking lot, BMW three series.
• 46:46
  You know, like any woman feels safe, right?
• 46:49
  Mm-hmm.
• 46:49
  Right.
• 46:49
  Tanya, is he?
• 46:50
  Yeah.
• 46:51
  Yeah.
• 46:52
  Well, I mean, as a not very attractive woman, I don't have this problem.
• 46:56
  Oh, you don't have Tom Cruise randomly running up to you while you're
• 46:58
  trying to get in your car and being like, Hey, I'd like to apologize for
• 47:01
  having you grab my shaft earlier.
• 47:03
  It was a misunderstanding.
• 47:05
  Oh, no, you, your dad told me about it or whatever.
• 47:08
  No big whoop No, no.
• 47:09
  I'm sorry, Mr. Cruise.
• 47:10
  I'm not interested in Scientology.
• 47:12
  Have a time.
• 47:12
  Yeah, yeah.
• 47:16
  As he was like, just, just tell him you're gay.
• 47:18
  Like, but no, he, he stalks her for a little bit and she just like, no,
• 47:21
  let me, let me take it in there.
• 47:23
  Let me, uh, let me let take it to a race.
• 47:25
  Please, please, please.
• 47:25
  Pretty please.
• 47:26
  I don't know.
• 47:27
  Cruz and Rowdy, they're on their way and they're like, all right,
• 47:30
  we've reached an agreement.
• 47:31
  You're not driving the car and I'm not driving the car.
• 47:34
  Blah, blah, blah.
• 47:36
  I know how we can settle this.
• 47:38
  Ah-huh.
• 47:38
  We're gonna rent some cars and apparently race them to dinner.
• 47:41
  Yes.
• 47:42
  Mm-hmm.
• 47:42
  Trading pain along the way because, because we're manly men.
• 47:45
  I, because it's awesome.
• 47:47
  It's one of the classic scenes of this movie.
• 47:50
  It's amazing.
• 47:51
  And they opted the insurance on the rental cars, so it's okay.
• 47:53
  Yeah, it's fine.
• 47:54
  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 47:54
  They're fine.
• 47:55
  Yeah.
• 47:55
  Yeah.
• 47:55
  They, they, they signed it Big John, so he's, he's got a
• 47:59
  surprise for him later that week.
• 48:01
  You know, just think, we talk about other movies where scenes could be
• 48:04
  deleted from the movie and it would make absolutely no difference to the movie.
• 48:08
  If you remove this part of the movie, it all falls apart.
• 48:11
  It's a house of cards.
• 48:12
  Like you have to have this scene, kind of like the ice cream scene earlier.
• 48:16
  This is Days of Thunder right here.
• 48:18
  But this race between these two guys randomly on public roads, better
• 48:24
  or worse than Jeff Bridges and James Woods in against all odds.
• 48:28
  Ooh, yeah.
• 48:31
  And against all odds, they didn't damage the cars, but
• 48:33
  there was that pucker moment.
• 48:34
  Exactly.
• 48:34
  That's why it's better.
• 48:35
  No, yeah.
• 48:36
  This is better.
• 48:37
  No, no, no, no.
• 48:38
  And we had this conversation a while ago.
• 48:40
  We were both right, because I think I said it was a race between two Luminas
• 48:44
  and you said, no, it was two Tauruses, but it was Illumina and the Taurus.
• 48:47
  And the Taurus.
• 48:48
  Oh, Ford versus Chevy.
• 48:50
  Oh.
• 48:50
  Guess what?
• 48:51
  We don't care if these two cars hit each other much.
• 48:54
  We care if the portion, the And the Ferrari.
• 48:57
  Ferrari, the Ferrari RA hit each other.
• 48:59
  But the epic thing about that scene is when they're coming across the bridge
• 49:02
  and the semi's coming at them, the car on the left goes up onto the curb.
• 49:05
  Yes, yes.
• 49:06
  Pull the tire out.
• 49:07
  Oh yeah.
• 49:08
  How did it not blow the tire out?
• 49:10
  Hollywood, baby Hollywood.
• 49:11
  Yeah.
• 49:11
  Reinforced it took four takes.
• 49:14
  And six Tori.
• 49:15
  Yeah, exactly.
• 49:17
  A whole lot of Illuminati or whatever the plural of Illumina is.
• 49:20
  Well, we didn't see the ramp that was there.
• 49:23
  There's that too.
• 49:24
  Yes.
• 49:24
  From the backward shot.
• 49:27
  And then the turbo kicked in B six.
• 49:31
  They finally show up to dinner late.
• 49:32
  And I'm like, weren't you fuckers racing?
• 49:34
  Should you be there early?
• 49:35
  They took that much time arguing.
• 49:38
  They, they just kept going in circles Also, Steve, what was the
• 49:40
  last time you got out of a car rental place In under an hour.
• 49:42
  That's true.
• 49:43
  What else?
• 49:44
  And they did the scenic route up the beach.
• 49:45
  Yes.
• 49:46
  Oh yeah.
• 49:46
  Yeah.
• 49:47
  They went to race the, the Mulholland Drive or whatever, like in, uh.
• 49:50
  King of the mountain.
• 49:51
  That's what it was.
• 49:52
  Yes, exactly.
• 49:52
  Exactly.
• 49:53
  He ran into Dennis Hopper, but that's all a deleted scene.
• 49:55
  So thinking the, the beach scene may have possibly been kind of like an homage.
• 50:00
  'cause Daytona originally did go out onto the beach.
• 50:03
  That is correct.
• 50:04
  The original Daytona wasn't on the beach, so I didn't Not that is correct.
• 50:08
  Homage to that as a thing.
• 50:09
  Yes.
• 50:09
  But it doesn't now because safety, NASCAR is pussies.
• 50:13
  Okay.
• 50:13
  Safety.
• 50:14
  NASCAR is pussy.
• 50:17
  Yeah.
• 50:17
  There's gotta be more, uh.
• 50:19
  More, uh, water hazards and uh, sand traps and stuff in NASCAR racing.
• 50:23
  I agree.
• 50:24
  You have this confused with golf.
• 50:25
  I'm just saying I haven't seen anybody jump through a ring of fire in years.
• 50:30
  Yeah.
• 50:30
  Vegas, there's gotta be people, the crosswalk, you know,
• 50:32
  like, oh wait, I'm sorry.
• 50:34
  That's F1, right?
• 50:35
  I dunno.
• 50:35
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, a hundred percent.
• 50:38
  Yeah.
• 50:38
  So, uh, yeah, they're a little late and they say because of car trouble and
• 50:41
  as I written down, you're both fired.
• 50:42
  Roll credits guys.
• 50:43
  What do we think?
• 50:44
  Babo?
• 50:46
  This is the guy guys, you, you gotta put your shit aside.
• 50:49
  But you know, blame it on the concussion.
• 50:51
  I will blame it on the concussion though.
• 50:52
  No, it's boys.
• 50:53
  We'll be boys.
• 50:54
  That's the message here.
• 50:56
  Well, no, I saw that in Star Trek once and I believe Card used it
• 51:00
  to get a kid off of a murder wrap.
• 51:02
  Yes, there's that too.
• 51:04
  Yes.
• 51:06
  I believe that's another record maneuver.
• 51:08
  But guys, we have one more boy to end.
• 51:09
  This Boys will be Boys Story.
• 51:11
  We're introduced to Russ Wheeler, played by Kerry Elz.
• 51:14
  There we're Elles, however you might say his name.
• 51:18
  Elway Carry Elway.
• 51:19
  Dr. Saw, I believe.
• 51:21
  There you go.
• 51:22
  That's who he is.
• 51:22
  Steve, the guy from Psych, the guy from like 10 episodes of psych.
• 51:27
  Yes.
• 51:27
  And nothing else.
• 51:27
  He's driving the Hardee's car out west.
• 51:30
  That's Carls Jr. Right?
• 51:31
  For those that don't know what Hardee's is.
• 51:33
  Yeah, it's Carls Jr. Yeah, he's just the new driver.
• 51:37
  It's gonna be taking over for you for a couple races.
• 51:39
  Cole, you know, while you're on the men from your possibly
• 51:42
  career ending injuries, wait, no.
• 51:44
  While you're stalking the doctor for her home address.
• 51:49
  Yeah.
• 51:49
  I mean, yeah, yeah.
• 51:51
  Starts calling like, oh yeah, she said I want, she wanted me to go to her office.
• 51:54
  Where was that again though?
• 51:55
  I got a concussion, I don't remember, but sends a lot of flowers
• 51:59
  and a side order of harassment.
• 52:03
  I do like during the scene though, that it ends with him asking her.
• 52:06
  How tall are you?
• 52:07
  Right.
• 52:10
  Are you always this tall?
• 52:11
  Do I need to walk around in eight inch platforms or something like, so awkward.
• 52:15
  But Mr. Cruz we're ready to begin recording.
• 52:17
  Yeah, exactly.
• 52:18
  Now allegedly, as legend has it, this is the point at which Tom Cruise and
• 52:23
  Nicole Kidman did start getting together.
• 52:25
  Like in real life, this is when they fell in love.
• 52:29
  That's what I had heard.
• 52:30
  That's what I recall as well.
• 52:32
  Yeah, that sounds about right.
• 52:33
  Yeah, because I know far and away was probably right.
• 52:35
  Yeah.
• 52:36
  Right after this.
• 52:37
  And I know that was when I think they got married or something, but yeah.
• 52:40
  Yeah, that makes sense.
• 52:40
  Yeah, exactly.
• 52:41
  So she turned 18 is what I heard now.
• 52:44
  Uh, well, because BMX mandates was like three, four years before,
• 52:48
  you know, that's why I say it.
• 52:50
  So yeah, we get a nice little date montage and of course, because
• 52:53
  Tom Cruise is cool as shit.
• 52:55
  He drives a Jeep, but guys, he's gotta get a physical exam.
• 52:58
  Gotta check him out, make sure he is able to drive, or at least
• 53:01
  start practicing and stuff.
• 53:02
  Again, getting behind the wheel.
• 53:04
  You might say, Dr. Kevin, of course, is the one that has to do the exam.
• 53:07
  He starts, uh, leaning in, going for the kiss, actually gets one in.
• 53:11
  And, uh, she no sells that shit.
• 53:13
  Like the undertaker, like, she's just like, yep.
• 53:15
  Anyway, you can pull your pants up, we're done here.
• 53:18
  And of course, you know, as he's like zipping up or whatever, he like goes
• 53:21
  walking out and he is like, I, I'm sorry, I, I don't know what that was all about.
• 53:24
  Uh, I'm sorry, blah, blah, blah.
• 53:26
  And of course then she's immediately all over him and they head to pound town guys.
• 53:30
  Boom, boom.
• 53:32
  And then this is where we cut to the scene of, uh, yeah, you know,
• 53:35
  them lying in bed on silk sheets.
• 53:37
  And, uh, Tom Cruise is explaining the concept of drafting using,
• 53:41
  uh, the sweet and low packets.
• 53:43
  And all I can think of is, man, I wish they were raw dogging on ancient ruins,
• 53:50
  but did anybody else wonder who the hell has sweet and low packets in bed?
• 53:53
  You're in a hotel, it didn't look like a hotel room.
• 53:56
  That even that doesn't make sense.
• 53:58
  Yeah.
• 53:58
  I mean, yeah, they got the coffee maker on the, the, the side table.
• 54:02
  Like, I don't know, man.
• 54:03
  Did they have coffee makers in the hotels in the nineties?
• 54:05
  It seems like a more modern thing to have that Steve, you are working in
• 54:08
  hotels then, according to your original hire date that I was hired several
• 54:13
  months later when I was 10 years old.
• 54:15
  But for anyone who doesn't know Steve's, a company has been
• 54:18
  convinced for the last 35 years.
• 54:21
  35 years that, uh, Steve was hired when he was 10.
• 54:25
  That's awesome.
• 54:25
  I hate to break their hearts, so I, I just haven't told him.
• 54:29
  We'll see how my pension goes, but he, he ha he has been enjoying his 30th
• 54:32
  anniversary, uh, Bose sound system.
• 54:37
  But talk about product placement.
• 54:39
  You are putting a sweet and low packet on Nicole Kidman's leg and making
• 54:43
  vroom, vroom sounds, and you're getting mansplained by a guy that 30 minutes ago
• 54:49
  said he doesn't know shit about cars and he doesn't know anything about racing,
• 54:53
  but this whole scene tracks, right.
• 54:55
  He's learned a lot.
• 54:56
  Yeah.
• 54:56
  Robert Deval is a good teacher, is the moral of the story.
• 54:59
  Is that what it is?
• 55:00
  Okay.
• 55:00
  Yeah.
• 55:01
  Yeah.
• 55:01
  And it tracks so well, they used it again seven years later in
• 55:04
  Armageddon with animal crackers.
• 55:06
  Yeah.
• 55:07
  God.
• 55:08
  Wait, that wasn't a Tony Scott movie, was it?
• 55:10
  Shit, who directed Ridley.
• 55:12
  Oh, that was Michael Bay.
• 55:13
  Michael Bay did.
• 55:14
  That's right.
• 55:14
  That's right.
• 55:15
  Hey Michael, would it be easier if we just taught astronauts how to.
• 55:19
  Shut the fuck up Ben.
• 55:21
  Greatest commentary ever made.
• 55:24
  So yeah, then uh, be because they're in post-Coital Bliss or whatever
• 55:28
  and uh, Nicole Kimmons trying to change conversation 'cause she
• 55:32
  doesn't give a fuck about racing.
• 55:33
  She says, so what do you wanna be when you grow up, mate?
• 55:36
  No answer.
• 55:37
  It's up there with later when she asked, what are you thinking about?
• 55:40
  And I'm like, oh god, damnit, cut to a motorcycle music love montage.
• 55:45
  Yeah.
• 55:46
  Nice little pound town scene.
• 55:47
  Like straight out of top gun again.
• 55:49
  Yep.
• 55:49
  I'm surprised we didn't hear Berlin come in.
• 55:51
  Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
• 55:56
  That's Kayla.
• 55:59
  We also find out during this that like, you know, Tom Cruise,
• 56:02
  he likes to be in control.
• 56:04
  And of course Dr. Kidman's like, show me, show me little daddy.
• 56:08
  And you know,
• 56:14
  so then we cut to, uh, them going to visit Rowdy at his farm 'cause uh, yep.
• 56:18
  He hasn't checked in with Lady Doctor.
• 56:20
  'cause my family don't go to hospitals less than they did or whatever, right?
• 56:25
  Yep.
• 56:25
  Or no.
• 56:26
  I, I, I, I guess at first that's right.
• 56:28
  We get the scene where Rowdy's like out on the lake or whatever, and he
• 56:31
  is talking with his wife about like, oh yeah, we're just gonna build the
• 56:34
  new mansion over there on that island.
• 56:36
  And, you know, we used the other one for scrap.
• 56:39
  He bought all this Airbnb or whatever, you know, he, he's
• 56:42
  been successful for many years.
• 56:43
  He's very rich.
• 56:44
  But then, uh, he gets seasick for the first time ever.
• 56:47
  And then so the, you know, I guess the wife called the doctor says, come
• 56:50
  checks him out and, you know, he's dizzy or whatever, and he like, closes his
• 56:53
  eyes, loses the equilibrium and falls.
• 56:55
  And so it's like.
• 56:57
  Well, um, I'm gonna recommend you talk to my boss.
• 57:00
  Uh, he is the head of neuroscience at the hospital.
• 57:02
  Since you obviously don't trust lady doctors.
• 57:04
  Mm-hmm.
• 57:05
  Did anybody else find it curious as to like, from watching it years ago up till
• 57:09
  now, how prior to this point, Cole and Rowdy, like hated each other's guts, but
• 57:13
  then he shows up at his place and they're cordial with each other, and because they
• 57:17
  became friends with the Lumina Taurus race, then they smiled at each other at
• 57:23
  the table and then they were friends.
• 57:25
  Yeah.
• 57:25
  When they lied about car trouble, uh, it's kind of a heated rivalry, you might say.
• 57:30
  Oh, hmm, these guys don't do game hockey players.
• 57:36
  Oh man, NASCAR fans watching heated rivalry.
• 57:38
  That's something I gotta watch.
• 57:40
  Hmm.
• 57:40
  That's the commentary trek you really want.
• 57:42
  That's the one I want.
• 57:43
  Like, oh, what do they do?
• 57:44
  Oh my God.
• 57:45
  Oh, oh my goodness.
• 57:48
  They're friends.
• 57:49
  High sticking.
• 57:50
  Anyway, guys we're watching ESPN highlights and, uh, Russ, he's
• 57:54
  winning some races and, uh, yeah, Dennis Quad's, like, man, with
• 57:58
  all these races you're winning.
• 57:59
  I'm able to get a second team go in here, but there might be a potential conflict
• 58:04
  down the road when, uh, when Cole, you know, Tom Cruise starts coming back in.
• 58:08
  Oh, well, no one cares.
• 58:09
  So we cut to Atlanta.
• 58:10
  Tom Cruise is back and he is driving, but he seems upset and distracted and
• 58:16
  we're seeing through his eyes and his vision's like a little blurry when he is
• 58:18
  checking his rear view mirrors and stuff.
• 58:20
  Oh man, he, he blew, blew an engine like intentionally just like, I
• 58:23
  don't know, dropping it and running it like 10,000 RPMs or whatever.
• 58:26
  And he grated the engine as they say.
• 58:29
  Yep.
• 58:29
  And Harry, you know Robert Duval, he's back in the movie again.
• 58:32
  He, uh, he knows what Tom Cruise's done 'cause he is got the little telltale
• 58:35
  uh, thing he pushes on that says, uh, what the RPMs were when the engine blew.
• 58:39
  And it's like, oh, yep, there we go.
• 58:41
  That'll do it.
• 58:42
  Yep.
• 58:42
  We come back to Rowdy 'cause he's being checked out by, uh, the head
• 58:45
  of neuroscience or whatever and uh, he's got a hemorrhage in his head.
• 58:49
  And, uh, you gotta get that shit checked out.
• 58:51
  That's it for him.
• 58:52
  We cut to the next race, so a week later or whatever.
• 58:55
  Right.
• 58:55
  That's like once a week in Wilkesboro.
• 58:58
  I know we get the line of like, drivers don't wanna be reminded
• 59:00
  of their mortality or whatever.
• 59:02
  Like I think Harry's talking to the lady doctor or whatever.
• 59:04
  Oh yeah.
• 59:05
  Yeah.
• 59:05
  Like that's why nobody will come see you during the race.
• 59:08
  Russ, he blocks Tom Cruise in the pit or whatever by doing a shit parking job.
• 59:13
  Mm-hmm.
• 59:13
  Which I think today would get him a, a lap fine or something like
• 59:16
  that, like a penalty or whatever.
• 59:18
  Definitely something Tom Cruise ends up like running into the wall
• 59:22
  or whatever, trying to pass him or be, be, be aggressive or whatever.
• 59:26
  And Russ wins.
• 59:27
  Yay.
• 59:28
  And NASCAR does nothing.
• 59:30
  Different times Steve.
• 59:31
  It was different times back then.
• 59:33
  You get away with more.
• 59:34
  They want the carnage, so do the fans, but we don't get that anymore other than just
• 59:38
  the parking that he did there in pit row.
• 59:40
  He bumped him and there's supposed to be no contact at
• 59:42
  all and gotta be below speed.
• 59:44
  Mm-hmm.
• 59:44
  Things that would not fly today.
• 59:46
  Oh, of course.
• 59:47
  Yeah.
• 59:47
  And Tom Cruise was going what, like 80 miles an hour or some shit there in pit
• 59:52
  row or whatever when like the guy pulls out and like, oh shit, that whole thing.
• 59:57
  And I'm like, you're driving like an asshole, dude.
• 59:59
  Like you know the rules.
• 1:00:00
  It's pit, it's pit stop.
• 1:00:02
  You know, Russ, he's doing his victory lap.
• 1:00:03
  And uh, Tom Cruise is like, I need a change of tires.
• 1:00:06
  And I'm like, but race is over dude.
• 1:00:08
  Just like thunderbolt.
• 1:00:10
  No.
• 1:00:10
  Change the tires.
• 1:00:11
  It's like Thunderbolt.
• 1:00:13
  Yeah.
• 1:00:14
  Pops in gear, fucking runs right into Russ's car.
• 1:00:18
  And I'm like, well, and you're never being RAs car again.
• 1:00:22
  You gotta at least wait until they're, you know, pouring the beer or the,
• 1:00:25
  the champagne or whatever on 'em.
• 1:00:26
  They just run up and knee him in the nuts and give them an upper cut.
• 1:00:30
  Like there you go.
• 1:00:31
  You know, winter cuts like the good old a yab, you can't attack him with
• 1:00:34
  a weapon since he did it the more safe route by attacking the car.
• 1:00:37
  'cause he had all his safety gear on.
• 1:00:39
  So it's safer that way, right?
• 1:00:40
  A thousand percent.
• 1:00:41
  Oh yeah.
• 1:00:42
  You know what?
• 1:00:42
  You won me over six months suspension.
• 1:00:44
  That's all.
• 1:00:47
  But of course Randy Quaid, he's like, oh, let's son of a bitch.
• 1:00:50
  Wreck both my cars.
• 1:00:51
  Fuck this guy.
• 1:00:52
  You are fired.
• 1:00:52
  No.
• 1:00:53
  We then cut to the Hilton Cole.
• 1:00:55
  He's, I don't know, taking lady doctor to the airport, do.dot for some reason.
• 1:00:59
  And she's like, you seen road yet?
• 1:01:02
  And of course he's like, no, no, I, I I haven't been out to see him.
• 1:01:05
  And then the world's worst taxi driver pulls up behind him and
• 1:01:08
  bumps the car for some reason.
• 1:01:11
  Yeah.
• 1:01:12
  And I'm like, what the fuck?
• 1:01:14
  And then, oh yeah, we just have to race.
• 1:01:16
  I have a race confrontation with this random ass taxi car.
• 1:01:20
  For some reason, this is Brad's favorite scene.
• 1:01:24
  He always likes to quote, let me outta the car, Cole.
• 1:01:26
  Let me outta the car.
• 1:01:27
  You know?
• 1:01:28
  Yeah.
• 1:01:28
  She gets out, she's super angry and you know, of course
• 1:01:31
  she's like, look, I get it.
• 1:01:32
  You're fucking scared.
• 1:01:34
  I'm not scared.
• 1:01:35
  Well, you're in denial.
• 1:01:36
  That's just as bad.
• 1:01:37
  Control is an illusion.
• 1:01:38
  You idiot.
• 1:01:40
  They just like stare for a bit.
• 1:01:42
  And, and it was this scene in particular where like the
• 1:01:44
  Aussie was really coming out.
• 1:01:47
  Oh, you bastard.
• 1:01:51
  Yeah.
• 1:01:51
  So then Tom Cruise decides, you know what, I'm gonna go see Rowdy.
• 1:01:54
  And of course he's at home playing pool.
• 1:01:58
  Apparently they have like eight kids running around the house and the wife's
• 1:02:00
  just at her wits end or whatever.
• 1:02:02
  But uh, and she was a new baby.
• 1:02:03
  Yeah, new baby.
• 1:02:05
  Probably another one on the way.
• 1:02:06
  You know how it is talking to Rowdy Rowdy's, like, you know,
• 1:02:09
  it's that lady Doctor's fault and he is like Uhhuh Really?
• 1:02:12
  Hey, um, what's this trophy here for?
• 1:02:15
  Say on there?
• 1:02:17
  Yeah, that's the Winston Cub.
• 1:02:18
  That, that's an easy one to forget though.
• 1:02:20
  That's not like a huge thing.
• 1:02:22
  Nah, not at all.
• 1:02:22
  And then this is where Tom Cruise like, pulls out the pool queue and he is like,
• 1:02:26
  well you can fix it there at the hospital.
• 1:02:27
  We can fix it here to knock you out.
• 1:02:29
  What's it going be?
• 1:02:31
  Yeah.
• 1:02:31
  They're like, I am not intimidated by Tom Cruise at all.
• 1:02:34
  Right.
• 1:02:35
  Like, even, even the slightest, I'm sorry.
• 1:02:38
  So we cut to the hospital, basically.
• 1:02:40
  They're like, yeah.
• 1:02:41
  So Rowdy's got a pretty bad little, uh, hemorrhage thing going, and uh, he
• 1:02:45
  may be able to come outta the hospital, but he's never gonna drive again.
• 1:02:48
  I'm like, oh no.
• 1:02:50
  Wow.
• 1:02:50
  Gimme that, uh, that special brain surgery from the head of neuroscience.
• 1:02:54
  That is right.
• 1:02:54
  And this rowdy's like, matter of fact, talk with Cole for a minute
• 1:02:57
  alone and this is where he is gonna like, you know, confess his
• 1:03:01
  love and say, I can't quit you.
• 1:03:03
  And you know, right.
• 1:03:04
  He pulls out, what are the other sugar pack?
• 1:03:06
  He pulls out a domino.
• 1:03:07
  Yeah.
• 1:03:08
  He's like, I wanna get sweet.
• 1:03:11
  I wanna, I wanna teach you a lesson in leverage.
• 1:03:16
  What do you know about the concept of a power bottom?
• 1:03:19
  Because you see, you take this packet.
• 1:03:22
  So, no, Ben said he is like, Cole, I want you to drive my car at Daytona.
• 1:03:28
  Uh, no.
• 1:03:30
  I got a bunch of unpaid land and I gotta take care of my family and my sponsors.
• 1:03:34
  They bet on me, not on my car.
• 1:03:36
  So I need you to be me for a while.
• 1:03:38
  It's gonna be best for my family and, and, you know, yeah.
• 1:03:40
  Pay the bills and everything.
• 1:03:42
  Kohl's just like.
• 1:03:43
  Before he answers, he just like kinda leaves.
• 1:03:46
  He never really gave him an answer.
• 1:03:47
  He is like, I sound like great.
• 1:03:49
  He is like, I, I I, uh, and then like walks past lady, doctor or whatever he is.
• 1:03:54
  Like, I, I gotta go talk to Harry.
• 1:03:56
  Meanwhile, I'm like thinking like Michael Rucker back in his,
• 1:03:59
  back in his, uh, hospital bed.
• 1:04:00
  Like, was that a fucking yes?
• 1:04:02
  Did I, did I pass out?
• 1:04:03
  What happened?
• 1:04:04
  Well, and it's also sort of like, did Randy Quaid fire him?
• 1:04:08
  We never really saw that.
• 1:04:09
  Like he was yelling at him about hitting the other car, but it's not
• 1:04:11
  like he canceled him as a driver.
• 1:04:13
  He had two cars.
• 1:04:14
  It could have been, there's like a whole bunch of politics here that it would
• 1:04:16
  just, we sort of skipped over and that's fine because we're leading to this
• 1:04:20
  point where he's filling in for Rowdy.
• 1:04:22
  I I think it's 'cause both, uh, Randy Quad's cars got wrecked.
• 1:04:27
  Tom Cruise doesn't even have a car to drive.
• 1:04:29
  But that's not true because Carrie Elways drove for Randy.
• 1:04:32
  Yeah.
• 1:04:32
  Carries was Dr. No, he was fired.
• 1:04:34
  Yeah.
• 1:04:34
  Yeah, he was fired.
• 1:04:35
  Fired.
• 1:04:36
  Right.
• 1:04:36
  Because he was the cause of it.
• 1:04:37
  So he, yeah.
• 1:04:37
  Okay.
• 1:04:37
  He and Robert Duvall were both fired.
• 1:04:39
  Yeah.
• 1:04:39
  Okay.
• 1:04:40
  That's why Duval's back on the farm 'cause he, I go talk to Harry.
• 1:04:43
  And yeah, of course Harry's like, what?
• 1:04:45
  Why won't you fix the car?
• 1:04:46
  He is like, because I knew you blew the engine.
• 1:04:49
  You're scared, but I can't do it without you, Harry.
• 1:04:53
  Okay, cool.
• 1:04:54
  And doesn't also, at that point when they're talking, he starts referring back
• 1:04:57
  to when it was his brother that died.
• 1:04:59
  Yeah.
• 1:05:00
  He's like, the wall didn't kill him.
• 1:05:01
  He was rambling at a million miles a minute, all the way up 20.
• 1:05:04
  He made contact with the wall and he's like, you're in the same state of mind.
• 1:05:07
  And he's like, I'm gonna have you kill yourself, man.
• 1:05:09
  You sound just like him.
• 1:05:11
  Yeah.
• 1:05:11
  Like he said earlier in the movie, like died of a heart attack, you
• 1:05:13
  know, John c Re's dad or whatever.
• 1:05:15
  Yeah.
• 1:05:15
  But then he is like, you know, there was a rumor there was a CO2 leak from, you know,
• 1:05:19
  trying to take out certain things to make it lighter or whatever, and like, no, no.
• 1:05:23
  It was nothing like that.
• 1:05:24
  This is bullshit.
• 1:05:25
  No investigation needed.
• 1:05:26
  No, no further questions, your Honor.
• 1:05:28
  Yeah, I dunno.
• 1:05:29
  They just have a little screaming match, you know, acting,
• 1:05:31
  but then he breaks it down.
• 1:05:32
  It's like, trust me Harry.
• 1:05:35
  I won't make a fool outta you.
• 1:05:37
  And then the soft music starts playing.
• 1:05:38
  Oh my God.
• 1:05:39
  And they head straight to Pound Town.
• 1:05:44
  No, but yeah, definitely the music that was coming on, it's like, what?
• 1:05:48
  What's about to happen?
• 1:05:49
  We went to the bum.
• 1:05:50
  They were rolling the head.
• 1:05:51
  Yeah.
• 1:05:52
  Domino Sugar Pack gets, man, I'm telling you.
• 1:05:54
  So guys, we then immediately cut to the morning of Daytona.
• 1:05:57
  Man, that was quick.
• 1:05:58
  I wrote down Mellow Yellow Time baby.
• 1:06:00
  Yeah, I like the old Mellow Yellow logo.
• 1:06:03
  I missed that.
• 1:06:04
  The new one's not that nice.
• 1:06:06
  All the logos were better in the eighties and nineties, man.
• 1:06:08
  But Harry, you know, he's, uh, he's talking, talking about the car again.
• 1:06:12
  Oh baby.
• 1:06:14
  Oh my God.
• 1:06:15
  I'm gonna get you so fast.
• 1:06:17
  Uh oh.
• 1:06:18
  Oh, what's that?
• 1:06:19
  Oh, you're leaking a little bit.
• 1:06:21
  Oh, that's to be expected.
• 1:06:25
  Overexcited.
• 1:06:26
  But then we, yeah, we got to the interviews with like the other drivers and
• 1:06:28
  they're all like, oh yeah, call Truckle.
• 1:06:30
  Yeah.
• 1:06:31
  Uh, I hope, I hope he's able to come back from his concussion, blah, blah, blah.
• 1:06:34
  You know, it's everybody's like, you know, trying to be like super
• 1:06:38
  nice about blah, blah, blah.
• 1:06:39
  Then they cut to Ross and he is like, I don't think he
• 1:06:41
  should be on the goddamn track.
• 1:06:42
  He's a god damn danger to everyone around him.
• 1:06:44
  And I hope he dies in a fiery wreck near me.
• 1:06:46
  I'm putting him in a wall.
• 1:06:47
  Yeah, that's right.
• 1:06:48
  I'm gonna, I'm gonna put him into a wall just like Dale Earnhardt.
• 1:06:51
  Oh, too soon.
• 1:06:51
  Nevermind.
• 1:06:52
  Scratch that.
• 1:06:54
  So then, uh, the doctor, you know, lady doctor, she goes to visit
• 1:06:57
  Cole and she says, yeah, yeah.
• 1:06:59
  Ra Rowdy's totally doing better.
• 1:07:00
  Yeah, totally.
• 1:07:01
  Like, I don't know, just the way, like, he was asking like, how's rowdy?
• 1:07:04
  And she's like, he's doing better.
• 1:07:07
  Doing better.
• 1:07:07
  He's in God's hands now.
• 1:07:08
  I don't know.
• 1:07:10
  He's in a better place.
• 1:07:12
  She ran, they ran outta lines for her and Oh, that's right.
• 1:07:15
  And then this is when she asked, what are you thinking about?
• 1:07:18
  And I'm like, oh God, damnit, this is terrible, terrible writing at this point.
• 1:07:22
  And then he is like, I'm more afraid of being nothing than of getting hurt.
• 1:07:27
  And then we cut to Russ, and this is the first time I'm like
• 1:07:30
  realizing the movie Russ is Iceman.
• 1:07:32
  Like he's got the, the Val Kilmer blonde haircut going.
• 1:07:36
  He's got the, the aviator glasses on.
• 1:07:39
  I'm surprised he didn't make little chomping motions at Tom.
• 1:07:43
  He's also saucer Baron Cohen in Talladega Knight.
• 1:07:46
  Ricky Bibe.
• 1:07:48
  I will defeat you pretty much.
• 1:07:51
  And then I would sit by esp. You know Tom Cruise?
• 1:07:54
  He's got a new engine in the car.
• 1:07:55
  What?
• 1:07:56
  How, how'd you get that?
• 1:07:57
  We can't afford that.
• 1:07:57
  Like I, uh, I stole it says Harry, and then we glance over and Randy Quaid
• 1:08:03
  gives a little knowing nod or whatever, like, Aw, see they can still be friends,
• 1:08:08
  but ladies and gentlemen, start your engines 'cause we is about to race.
• 1:08:11
  Yeah.
• 1:08:13
  Daytona 500 times.
• 1:08:15
  It's time for the 500.
• 1:08:16
  That's right.
• 1:08:17
  Tom Cruise.
• 1:08:18
  He's gotta start last.
• 1:08:19
  Why?
• 1:08:19
  Because he is the shortest.
• 1:08:20
  No, I don't know.
• 1:08:21
  I, I guess because he's like a last minute substitution or whatever.
• 1:08:24
  He lined up by height.
• 1:08:26
  Yeah.
• 1:08:28
  Yeah, that Dale Earnhardt Jr's a tall drink of water, so we'll give him
• 1:08:31
  at least a top three pole position.
• 1:08:33
  Big wreck.
• 1:08:33
  Again, a lot of oil on the track, but you gotta watch it.
• 1:08:36
  Oh shit.
• 1:08:37
  And they're showing like the exact same smoky footage from
• 1:08:40
  the first wreck or whatever.
• 1:08:41
  And uh, Tom Cruise just gets all quiet and he is not talking to
• 1:08:45
  Harry and he drives on through it, and then we get triumphant music.
• 1:08:49
  Yay.
• 1:08:50
  That must have meant something.
• 1:08:51
  He, he's battling his fears and just gunning it through po
• 1:08:56
  potentially dangerous situations.
• 1:08:58
  All right.
• 1:08:58
  He is ready to go.
• 1:08:59
  So then we start rubbing and there's 23 laps left.
• 1:09:02
  And I'm like, fuck, that was a quick race.
• 1:09:04
  I can't be like that in real life, right?
• 1:09:06
  Yeah, right.
• 1:09:07
  Welcome to the Daytona 50.
• 1:09:09
  Yeah.
• 1:09:10
  Where did the other 200 and like 27 laps go, right?
• 1:09:14
  It's like night.
• 1:09:15
  Yeah, but uh, Rus, he's rubbing on coal and Oh, my accelerator stuck.
• 1:09:19
  I can't slow down.
• 1:09:21
  I'm gonna go fast.
• 1:09:22
  Mama bends out but then nope.
• 1:09:23
  Gets control.
• 1:09:24
  Pulls it back out and they're racing.
• 1:09:26
  Racing.
• 1:09:27
  Oh my accelerator's loose though.
• 1:09:28
  Thank God I almost died, but my transmission's fucked.
• 1:09:32
  Okay, well that sucks.
• 1:09:34
  Quick.
• 1:09:34
  We gotta get a pit stop.
• 1:09:35
  Alright, I gotta get out here in 45 seconds.
• 1:09:37
  I gotta get in front of that pace card.
• 1:09:39
  Come on, let's go.
• 1:09:39
  Let's go.
• 1:09:40
  Let's go.
• 1:09:40
  Yeah, they, they end up pushing 'em out.
• 1:09:42
  Like they got the whole crew team of, uh, what, five people or whatever.
• 1:09:46
  And then Randy Quats crew team starts pushing 'em out too.
• 1:09:48
  Oh my gosh.
• 1:09:49
  They're, they're working together again to get out in front of that pace car.
• 1:09:52
  Oh.
• 1:09:53
  So he is in like ninth place with eight laps left.
• 1:09:56
  And I'm like, well, okay, I think he's done then.
• 1:09:58
  Right.
• 1:09:58
  Good job guys.
• 1:09:59
  Maybe settle for a top five.
• 1:10:01
  Finish, get that purse.
• 1:10:02
  And uh, you know, we, he helped, uh, rowdy pay off his bills, roll credits.
• 1:10:07
  No, he's gonna draft Russ, you know, fall behind, like sweet low packet.
• 1:10:11
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:10:11
  Sweet.
• 1:10:11
  And tighten behind.
• 1:10:13
  And, uh, Russ says None of my watch bitch and puts him in the wall a couple times.
• 1:10:18
  And then it's the last lap.
• 1:10:19
  And I'm like, and that's the last lap.
• 1:10:22
  And I'm like, well, that was quick.
• 1:10:23
  And they're drafting in, he fakes high.
• 1:10:25
  And of course Russ is like, well, he's going high obviously, but no.
• 1:10:28
  Then he cuts in low.
• 1:10:29
  Oh my God.
• 1:10:30
  He got the inside track and he gets the win.
• 1:10:38
  I literally wrote down, listen to that top gun music as he wins the 500.
• 1:10:42
  That's right.
• 1:10:42
  Yeah.
• 1:10:43
  He's the best around everybody.
• 1:10:47
  Down.
• 1:10:47
  The body's all around.
• 1:10:49
  Yeah.
• 1:10:49
  There's nice big pit celebration and uh, and, and Russ comes over and says, you
• 1:10:54
  could be my wing man anytime, Maverick.
• 1:10:57
  And.
• 1:11:00
  The lady doctor stayed to watch from the stands and he sees Harry
• 1:11:04
  and they have a chat with tears in their eyes who says, there's
• 1:11:08
  nothing you can't do in a race car.
• 1:11:10
  Well, let's get our ass to victory Lane a ratio ass ha.
• 1:11:16
  And they run off freeze frame roll credits.
• 1:11:18
  Guys, we've completed almost an entire week of Thunder.
• 1:11:22
  Yes, yes we have.
• 1:11:24
  So I guess, uh, would you guys recommend this movie?
• 1:11:27
  Hell yeah.
• 1:11:28
  Oh yeah, of course.
• 1:11:29
  The classic.
• 1:11:30
  Yeah.
• 1:11:31
  Would you guys recommend this movie, babe?
• 1:11:33
  Would you recommend this movie?
• 1:11:34
  You know what?
• 1:11:35
  Yeah.
• 1:11:35
  This is one of those movies you have to watch so that other things become
• 1:11:38
  funnier when they make fun of it.
• 1:11:40
  This walk.
• 1:11:40
  So Talladega Nights could run Exactly This walk.
• 1:11:44
  So Driven could run.
• 1:11:45
  I dunno, I'm gonna be contradictory here.
• 1:11:48
  This is probably the worst movie we've seen.
• 1:11:50
  What?
• 1:11:51
  What?
• 1:11:51
  Worse than Senior Moment?
• 1:11:53
  Worse than, uh oh.
• 1:11:55
  I, I'm sorry.
• 1:11:56
  I was just trying to compare this to the Stunt Man or whatever.
• 1:12:00
  Obviously the worst movie we've ever seen.
• 1:12:03
  Can't believe you guys keep bringing that up.
• 1:12:05
  The movie was great.
• 1:12:05
  You're the one that brought it up.
• 1:12:06
  This time I wasn't even gonna go there because this is probably the
• 1:12:09
  best movie we've ever watched By far.
• 1:12:12
  What Better than the Fall Guy?
• 1:12:14
  Come on.
• 1:12:14
  Yes, dude.
• 1:12:16
  I was about to say that this might be the first time we all have consensus
• 1:12:19
  that this movie is awesome and then you had to go throw a wrench in the
• 1:12:22
  gears talking about the worst movie.
• 1:12:24
  This is a classic look.
• 1:12:26
  It's no driven, but it's okay as far as racing movies go.
• 1:12:29
  'cause the Fall Guy isn't really Racing R Movie.
• 1:12:34
  It's still a very good movie.
• 1:12:35
  Yeah.
• 1:12:35
  But as far as like really racing movies, like yes this is the Bar,
• 1:12:40
  but this is No Against All Odds.
• 1:12:42
  The only racing movie that might be better than this.
• 1:12:46
  But you have to be able to stomach it because it's 10 times longer.
• 1:12:50
  Is Steve McQueen's Lama?
• 1:12:52
  That is a long movie.
• 1:12:53
  It is ridiculously long and there has very little dialogue in it,
• 1:12:56
  which is awesome into itself.
• 1:12:59
  So as racing movies go to Tonya's point, this one is like the pinnacle.
• 1:13:03
  It's right up there.
• 1:13:04
  And the most realistic too.
• 1:13:06
  That's just it.
• 1:13:07
  You can't bitch about the racing scenes in this that much.
• 1:13:10
  There's some stupid stuff like we talked about when they're three wide
• 1:13:13
  and whatever, but for the most part you're like, they're going around in
• 1:13:16
  a circle, they're doing NASCAR things.
• 1:13:17
  Not to jump to what have I learned.
• 1:13:21
  One of the things I learned is that actually they really raced those cars
• 1:13:26
  in real NASCAR races for the footage.
• 1:13:29
  Yeah, I was gonna say, we have one movie.
• 1:13:30
  So a lot of the footage was actually real.
• 1:13:33
  Some good portion of it was not, but a lot of it was they would race as like
• 1:13:39
  unscored entries, like in in races.
• 1:13:42
  Just to get the footage.
• 1:13:43
  Well, on that note, do we wanna start getting into some
• 1:13:45
  fun facts about this movie?
• 1:13:46
  Oh, I've got another fun fact.
• 1:13:48
  Oh, do you need a commercial break first?
• 1:13:50
  Oh, well, since you mentioned it, we're gonna take quick commercial break.
• 1:13:54
  Oh.
• 1:13:54
  But when we come back, we have more beer.
• 1:13:57
  Fun facts.
• 1:13:58
  What and what we learned from Days of Thunder.
• 1:14:02
  Yay.
• 1:14:07
  There's so many podcasts out there.
• 1:14:09
  How do I find the one for me?
• 1:14:14
  For so long, I've searched for podcasts all over, but none
• 1:14:17
  of 'em seem to fit my needs.
• 1:14:19
  Where is my Nick Cage Pissing Fire podcast?
• 1:14:22
  Where's my monkey tickling?
• 1:14:24
  I couldn't find it anywhere until I found everything I learned from Louis's podcast
• 1:14:28
  with Steve Nzi, and now I get to hear about all the monkey tickling I want baby.
• 1:14:35
  So many podcasts out there are All Talk and no Congo.
• 1:14:39
  That's why I listen to everything I learned from movies Greatest
• 1:14:42
  Living Actor, Nicholas Cage.
• 1:14:44
  Of course, that's why I listen to everything I learned from
• 1:14:47
  movies, one-liners, plot holes, gratuitous, boobies.
• 1:14:52
  Fun fact.
• 1:14:53
  That's why I listen to everything I learned from movies.
• 1:14:56
  See if everything I learned from movies is right for you at EILF movies.

  Pretty sensitive.
• 1:15:38
  Reddit in the history vetting.
• 1:15:40
  Oh, she said it.
• 1:15:41
  They get better every week.
• 1:15:44
  Sorry, what were you saying, Eric?
• 1:15:45
  I said, you gotta say it like Hulk Hogan, days of Thunder.
• 1:15:49
  He of thunder.
• 1:15:50
  Brother.
• 1:15:50
  Brother Steph, Goslin Jim.
• 1:15:52
  Just go full off like macho man after that.
• 1:15:55
  That's macho man.
• 1:15:55
  Yeah.
• 1:16:00
  Surprised have wasn't in this movie.
• 1:16:02
  Would anyone be interested in any fun facts about this movie?
• 1:16:06
  Yes.
• 1:16:07
  Are they fun facts?
• 1:16:09
  Super fun Facts 'cause fun.
• 1:16:11
  Fun facts.
• 1:16:13
  Oh, she said it well, Tony, you wanna start us off?
• 1:16:15
  Yes.
• 1:16:16
  I have one that Eric might appreciate.
• 1:16:18
  Ooh, ooh, ooh.
• 1:16:19
  I didn't do any fun facts this time, so I'm ready to be impressed.
• 1:16:22
  Your favorite scene in the whole movie?
• 1:16:24
  The ice cream scene.
• 1:16:25
  The.
• 1:16:26
  Actually based on it really happening.
• 1:16:29
  No.
• 1:16:30
  Are you for real?
• 1:16:32
  Apparently that incident actually occurred with Hendrick Motorsports in 1987.
• 1:16:38
  Wow.
• 1:16:39
  Because I was thinking when you just said that, that Bobby Raha was sponsored by
• 1:16:44
  Otter Pops and they had ice cream in the pit, but that was IndyCar and not nascar.
• 1:16:48
  So that's really interesting.
• 1:16:50
  Oh, apparently a lot of the like.
• 1:16:52
  A lot of, all the people's interactions are mirrored off
• 1:16:56
  relationships that actually occurred in NASCAR rivalries and whatnot.
• 1:17:01
  See, Steve, we've just elevated this movie to, based on a true story,
• 1:17:08
  based on several true stories.
• 1:17:09
  Yes.
• 1:17:10
  Days of thunder loosely.
• 1:17:12
  Okay, so, so if that's the case, then Disney's Pixar's Cars is the
• 1:17:16
  exact same thing because a lot of those scenes are taken, so is Cars
• 1:17:20
  is based on true events as well.
• 1:17:23
  You gotta follow the family tree here.
• 1:17:25
  Stroker Ace Days of Thunder, Talladega Night.
• 1:17:27
  Disney's cars.
• 1:17:28
  That's the order of operations.
• 1:17:33
  Brad is in agreement.
• 1:17:34
  So funnily enough, the character that Cole Trickle is sort
• 1:17:39
  of, or the real life person.
• 1:17:40
  Cole Trickle character is loosely based off of apparently Cameo
• 1:17:45
  very briefly in stroke race.
• 1:17:47
  Oh, Jeff Gordon?
• 1:17:49
  No, he's not based off Jeff Gordon.
• 1:17:51
  He is based off a guy named Tim Richmond.
• 1:17:53
  Oh, okay.
• 1:17:54
  Who was kinda like a hothead came from nowhere.
• 1:17:56
  Guy, I guess.
• 1:17:57
  Dick Trickle.
• 1:17:59
  So the name was based off Dick Trickle?
• 1:18:01
  Yes.
• 1:18:02
  Yeah, yeah.
• 1:18:03
  But it's like an amalgamation of a couple different people.
• 1:18:06
  Interesting.
• 1:18:07
  Thanks.
• 1:18:08
  Based on True Story.
• 1:18:09
  Look at that.
• 1:18:10
  Alright guys, well Rotten Tomatoes.
• 1:18:12
  What do we think the critics thought of?
• 1:18:15
  Days of Thunder.
• 1:18:16
  The critics.
• 1:18:17
  Critics.
• 1:18:19
  This was critics back in 1990, right?
• 1:18:22
  Sure.
• 1:18:23
  Or they retic or it, it's rotten tomato.
• 1:18:25
  So some from nineties and some since then, but yeah, it's probably
• 1:18:30
  somewhere near 50%, but under 50%.
• 1:18:32
  47 go 50.
• 1:18:34
  'cause Brad said 47.
• 1:18:36
  What else have we got?
• 1:18:37
  I'm gonna go with Izzy's 69 because of the sweet milk.
• 1:18:42
  I'm thinking like it's gotta be around like 65, 60 6%.
• 1:18:45
  Yeah, I think so.
• 1:18:46
  If I recall commercials on TV for back then they were saying
• 1:18:49
  it was critically acclaimed.
• 1:18:50
  They made amusement park rides out of days of thunder.
• 1:18:54
  Are you kidding me?
• 1:18:55
  Come on Izzy.
• 1:18:56
  What do you think?
• 1:18:57
  I'm gonna go with 82.
• 1:18:59
  Ooh.
• 1:19:00
  Ooh.
• 1:19:00
  That's probably the person vote.
• 1:19:02
  Brad is closest.
• 1:19:03
  38% with the critic should have gone with my 17, but nobody
• 1:19:08
  gives a fuck about the critics.
• 1:19:09
  What about that audience score?
• 1:19:10
  108% Bob?
• 1:19:13
  78. 78. It's above 70, probably close to 80.
• 1:19:17
  So she's 78 as well.
• 1:19:19
  I'll go with 80.
• 1:19:20
  I'm going 79.
• 1:19:22
  I'm gonna go 87.
• 1:19:23
  Is he?
• 1:19:24
  I'm gonna go with a little six pound eight ounce baby.
• 1:19:26
  Jesus.
• 1:19:28
  Is that a 68?
• 1:19:29
  Six six?
• 1:19:33
  Well, audience score is 60%.
• 1:19:36
  Oh.
• 1:19:36
  Barely fresh.
• 1:19:38
  Barely budget was $60 million.
• 1:19:41
  Any guesses on the worldwide gross days of Thunder Two never happened.
• 1:19:45
  It's called Tal Dega Knights, which allegedly might be in the
• 1:19:49
  works for the last two years, but I don't know if that's true.
• 1:19:53
  What it took forever for the second, uh, top gun to be made.
• 1:19:55
  So, yeah, that's true.
• 1:19:57
  Yeah.
• 1:19:58
  Baseball two's coming out so.
• 1:20:01
  Cocktail too.
• 1:20:02
  The problem is they can't get Dr. Lewicki back for Days of Thunder too.
• 1:20:08
  Oh no.
• 1:20:08
  Where are we gonna find a gorgeous Australian model to be a doctor?
• 1:20:13
  Just get Margot Robbie, Margot Robbie's calling.
• 1:20:16
  Hello?
• 1:20:17
  I mean, considering all the swag, the posters, the amusement park rides,
• 1:20:22
  all the stuff around Days of Thunder.
• 1:20:25
  I mean, 60 million is what it costs.
• 1:20:26
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:20:27
  Worldwide gross.
• 1:20:28
  After all this, it's gotta be a quadrillion like, I mean, there's, it's
• 1:20:32
  all the merch fall in for the million.
• 1:20:34
  No, but I, I think he's just asking box Office gross.
• 1:20:37
  Yeah.
• 1:20:37
  Yeah.
• 1:20:38
  Then it's a half a quadrillion, like it's a lot.
• 1:20:42
  We'll just say a billion since, uh, no, I'm gonna say.
• 1:20:46
  200. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 1:20:48
  It's in that period where Days of Thunder and Batman and Terminator were
• 1:20:53
  all sort of like jockeying for position.
• 1:20:55
  So it's gotta be like 120 million or a hundred.
• 1:20:58
  It's in the a hundred million range.
• 1:21:01
  Sir, you already said a quadrillion.
• 1:21:03
  So, uh, your, your phone's been put in with your careful calculations there.
• 1:21:08
  Thank you for helping the others with their vote.
• 1:21:10
  Yes.
• 1:21:12
  Anybody else?
• 1:21:13
  $27 and a six pack.
• 1:21:15
  I refrain from voting as I know the answer.
• 1:21:18
  I would say they did well and it'd be like two 50 mil range.
• 1:21:21
  Brad is closest.
• 1:21:22
  1 57 0.9 worldwide, according to what I saw.
• 1:21:26
  Nice.
• 1:21:26
  More than double.
• 1:21:28
  Yeah, more than double, but, you know.
• 1:21:29
  Mm. Some reason I guess.
• 1:21:31
  'cause at that time it was, it was one of those things that was
• 1:21:34
  out there everywhere, if I recall.
• 1:21:36
  'cause especially the Hardee's deal, because Yes.
• 1:21:38
  Oh yeah, yeah.
• 1:21:38
  I got a couple minutes ago to look for it 'cause I can't find it.
• 1:21:41
  I know I have it still.
• 1:21:42
  Back in the day, you could get in the Happy Meals with Hardee's.
• 1:21:44
  They had the little like matchbox cars of the various ones.
• 1:21:47
  The Meow Yellow one.
• 1:21:48
  Yeah, the super one, the Hardee's one.
• 1:21:50
  And I still have the Hardee's one somewhere.
• 1:21:52
  I thought I had it in the box in here, in the closet, but it's the wrong box.
• 1:21:55
  It was marketed very well.
• 1:21:57
  Yes.
• 1:21:57
  You got Russ Wheeler's Matchbox.
• 1:22:00
  You got the Loser car.
• 1:22:01
  I had all three of 'em.
• 1:22:02
  I won a couple races.
• 1:22:03
  It didn't get played with much, so that's probably why it's still exists.
• 1:22:06
  I can't find it.
• 1:22:07
  He did get, it's like, whatever.
• 1:22:09
  Nice.
• 1:22:09
  I seem to remember this.
• 1:22:10
  I think it was Pizza Hut, like when you would buy a pizza,
• 1:22:13
  you could get a VHS tape.
• 1:22:15
  I wanna say it was like Days of Thunder Land before Time
• 1:22:19
  Bill and Ted's bogus journey.
• 1:22:21
  Oh.
• 1:22:22
  Like, like it was that timeframe.
• 1:22:23
  But like I, right.
• 1:22:24
  I think Days of Thunder was one of those movies where it's like you buy
• 1:22:27
  a pizza or two when you get a free movie the same time of like do the
• 1:22:31
  reading and you got a free pan pizza.
• 1:22:33
  Oh, yeah, too.
• 1:22:34
  Exactly.
• 1:22:35
  Yeah.
• 1:22:35
  Oh, dances with Wolves is one of 'em.
• 1:22:37
  Yeah.
• 1:22:38
  Tonka.
• 1:22:38
  Tonka.
• 1:22:39
  We never did like Pizza Hut or any of that.
• 1:22:42
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:22:43
  And yeah, that's how we got, we got Lamb before time and Perfect.
• 1:22:46
  Yeah.
• 1:22:46
  That's.
• 1:22:48
  Dances with wolves normally.
• 1:22:49
  Normally my dad would go to Costco 'cause back in the day guys, Costco
• 1:22:53
  was only for people with a business license and my, so my dad would use
• 1:22:57
  his business license and they would get the VHS's two weeks before release.
• 1:23:02
  Oh wow.
• 1:23:03
  And they would be like 7 99.
• 1:23:06
  Wow.
• 1:23:06
  Nice.
• 1:23:07
  Which, you know, was like three weeks worth of wages in our house.
• 1:23:10
  Yeah, right.
• 1:23:11
  So out west, because you guys originally in California, like at Magic Mountain
• 1:23:16
  and stuff, did they have the days of Thunder ride like we did at Kings
• 1:23:19
  Dominion and even Kings Island in Ohio.
• 1:23:21
  It's the same thing.
• 1:23:22
  They had the days of Thunder ride.
• 1:23:23
  So did they have it out west as well?
• 1:23:25
  I've never been to Magic Mountain 'cause I was down south.
• 1:23:28
  Steve grew up in Utah, so I don't know.
• 1:23:29
  Oh, lagoon have it?
• 1:23:30
  No, no.
• 1:23:31
  Well yeah, but I mean, lagoon doesn't have branded stuff like that.
• 1:23:34
  So Do you guys know what it was?
• 1:23:36
  I think like maybe, uh, shit, what's the one in San Jose?
• 1:23:40
  I'm blanking on it.
• 1:23:41
  Oh, great America.
• 1:23:42
  Great America.
• 1:23:43
  I think Great America had it for a while.
• 1:23:45
  So what was interesting about that is, you know, all the hype around the
• 1:23:48
  Star Wars ones where you'd get into little shuttle craft and they would fly
• 1:23:51
  you around, you know, the Death Star.
• 1:23:53
  Well, the Days of Thunder Ride was before that, and you got in like a eight
• 1:23:57
  person thing and you replayed part of the race and you got all the effects
• 1:24:02
  and the stuff, and you go through the smoke just like Cold Trickle did.
• 1:24:05
  And it's the Days of Thunder Ride.
• 1:24:06
  And then there was a roller coaster later.
• 1:24:08
  It was like an indoor roller coaster or whatever, but the very
• 1:24:10
  first thing was like this whole movie experience type of deal.
• 1:24:13
  So I thought that was kind of cool.
• 1:24:14
  Again, a lot of hype around this movie for a very long time.
• 1:24:18
  Like it had a lasting effect.
• 1:24:20
  Nice.
• 1:24:21
  Yeah.
• 1:24:21
  Being like a race car simulator even kind of thing.
• 1:24:23
  Like I, yeah, yeah.
• 1:24:24
  Oh, there were tons of our game games.
• 1:24:26
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
• 1:24:27
  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:24:28
  Yeah.
• 1:24:28
  Mr. Toad's Wild.
• 1:24:29
  Bright is famous for a reason.
• 1:24:30
  Exactly.
• 1:24:31
  An ET on those bicycles, man.
• 1:24:33
  Yeah, the guys, the movie was conceived.
• 1:24:37
  By Tom Cruise when he and Paul Newman were allowed to test one
• 1:24:41
  of Rick Hendrick's race cars.
• 1:24:43
  Tom's first lap was in excess of 180 miles per hour.
• 1:24:46
  Oh shits.
• 1:24:48
  He gets the riding credit.
• 1:24:49
  I guess that was fast for him 'cause that Dotson he was driving
• 1:24:53
  for Paul Newman was a dud.
• 1:24:55
  Oh man.
• 1:24:55
  And especially being four foot eight or whatever he is that
• 1:24:58
  like, just, just, that'd be like going 300 miles an hour to him.
• 1:25:02
  Yeah.
• 1:25:03
  I'll have to send you guys the videos.
• 1:25:04
  He raced at one of the tracks closest to us.
• 1:25:06
  You can go to their, like dining hall.
• 1:25:08
  They still have pictures of Tom Cruise on the wall when he raced there, like
• 1:25:12
  in the eighties with Paul Newman.
• 1:25:13
  It's crazy.
• 1:25:14
  Yeah.
• 1:25:15
  Nice.
• 1:25:16
  I'm not gonna lie.
• 1:25:16
  I love that.
• 1:25:17
  I love when they have like the pictures on the walls of celebrities
• 1:25:20
  who haven't been in in 40 years.
• 1:25:22
  Yep.
• 1:25:22
  Yeah.
• 1:25:22
  Like, I'm like, that means you're legit.
• 1:25:25
  And, uh, production began without a finished script.
• 1:25:28
  What?
• 1:25:28
  Come on.
• 1:25:28
  Tom.
• 1:25:29
  Scenes were often written the day of filming.
• 1:25:31
  During one driving sequence.
• 1:25:32
  Tom Cruise actually had to read his off of cue cards attached to the windshield.
• 1:25:36
  And of course that resulted in a minor car accident.
• 1:25:39
  For subsequent driving sequences, Cruz was fitted with a special earpiece
• 1:25:42
  so those lines could be fed to him.
• 1:25:44
  What?
• 1:25:45
  Those lines weren't that difficult.
• 1:25:47
  Yeah.
• 1:25:50
  Well, wait, do you want me to turn?
• 1:25:51
  Harry left?
• 1:25:53
  I need to pit.
• 1:25:54
  That explains how the sugar pack gets wound up in the bed because
• 1:25:57
  they were over at the break table in between scenes in the bed.
• 1:26:01
  Real quick.
• 1:26:01
  Is he okay?
• 1:26:02
  And you know, just happen to have, you know, two sweet low packets with him.
• 1:26:06
  Look, do you not believe that Nicole Kidman carries sweet and
• 1:26:10
  low packets in coups at all times?
• 1:26:12
  Oh my God.
• 1:26:14
  Are you next to the Vegemite?
• 1:26:18
  Oh, would you like it?
• 1:26:19
  Full Australian for beer?
• 1:26:22
  God.
• 1:26:22
  So, according to Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Tom Cruise had a meeting with Dale
• 1:26:26
  Earnhardt Sr. Prior to the production of the film, it was rumored that
• 1:26:30
  Earnhardt was offered the role of rowdy Burns, but he turned it down because
• 1:26:33
  he didn't wanna play the bad guy.
• 1:26:35
  That's so funny.
• 1:26:37
  The guys even better.
• 1:26:38
  Tom Cruise wanted Kurt Russell for the role of rowdy Burns.
• 1:26:43
  Yes.
• 1:26:44
  And it was through cruise that Russell became aware of Backdraft
• 1:26:48
  and did that instead back draft.
• 1:26:52
  Kurt Russell with a head injury, sign me up.
• 1:26:55
  Hell yeah.
• 1:26:56
  I mean, isn't that the Olympics commercials?
• 1:26:58
  He was in basically the same.
• 1:27:01
  No, no, no.
• 1:27:02
  That was him doing, uh, stuntman Mike.
• 1:27:04
  That's right.
• 1:27:05
  Yeah.
• 1:27:05
  Stuntman Mike.
• 1:27:06
  He's gonna get those guys killed.
• 1:27:08
  Unfortunately, you really gotta be on this side of the race car.
• 1:27:11
  That would've been awesome, Russell.
• 1:27:12
  Wow.
• 1:27:12
  Oh, and then Goldie Han has her cameos the wife with like eight kids running around.
• 1:27:16
  Yeah.
• 1:27:17
  Oh, I could see.
• 1:27:18
  That would've been good.
• 1:27:19
  That would've been good.
• 1:27:20
  He was an extra star that would easily put it over the fall guy
• 1:27:23
  for the best movie we've done.
• 1:27:24
  God, it's a little nod to Overboard or something.
• 1:27:27
  Anyway.
• 1:27:28
  Yeah.
• 1:27:28
  It also would've cost him a lot more to make it too.
• 1:27:30
  Hey, this movie gets two stars for Robert Duvall by himself.
• 1:27:34
  He gets two and one more, because this was the feature
• 1:27:37
  film debut of Margot Martindale
• 1:27:44
  who?
• 1:27:45
  BoJack Horseman.
• 1:27:46
  Margot Martindale.
• 1:27:48
  Look it up guys.
• 1:27:49
  She's an amazing character.
• 1:27:50
  Cocaine Bears, Margot Martindale.
• 1:27:52
  No, I don't want, I think she was on The Wire.
• 1:27:54
  I don't know.
• 1:27:55
  Oh, wait, who was she in this movie?
• 1:27:58
  She, so she plays Donna, is she the white?
• 1:28:02
  She was in one scene at the beginning.
• 1:28:04
  I think she wast the first person we actually see on screen.
• 1:28:06
  Yeah.
• 1:28:06
  I think when they were doing the, uh, the, when he was doing the practice
• 1:28:10
  lap in, uh, Rowdy's car, when we meet Tom Cruise for the first time, I think
• 1:28:13
  she's the one with the stopwatch that confirms that it was like a 31 second lap.
• 1:28:17
  Oh, wow.
• 1:28:18
  Like, like it was a very small role.
• 1:28:20
  Yeah.
• 1:28:21
  Blink.
• 1:28:21
  And you missed her.
• 1:28:22
  Yeah, but we're like, oh, Margaret Martindale.
• 1:28:25
  Okay.
• 1:28:25
  Yeah.
• 1:28:26
  I knew who that is.
• 1:28:27
  Not from Oh, her, from the things you mentioned.
• 1:28:29
  She's,
• 1:28:32
  yeah.
• 1:28:32
  She's in much more famous things than the ones we know her for.
• 1:28:35
  But Which character is she?
• 1:28:38
  Jack Horseman.
• 1:28:39
  She's in BoJack Horseman is one of the voices, right?
• 1:28:41
  Yeah.
• 1:28:41
  She's the voice of Margot Martindale.
• 1:28:43
  Yeah.
• 1:28:43
  She plays Margot Martindale.
• 1:28:44
  No.
• 1:28:44
  Who plays herself?
• 1:28:46
  I haven't watched it sometimes.
• 1:28:47
  Okay.
• 1:28:47
  It's eight episodes in six years.
• 1:28:49
  I mean, it's pretty spread out guys.
• 1:28:51
  It's a stretch.
• 1:28:54
  But guys, we've reached the most important part.
• 1:28:56
  Yes.
• 1:28:56
  Besides this being Margot Martindale's feature debut, what else did
• 1:28:59
  we learn from Days of Thunder?
• 1:29:02
  I wanna say, do you guys wanna hear me go first?
• 1:29:05
  Yes.
• 1:29:05
  As the co-host.
• 1:29:06
  Okay.
• 1:29:07
  I learned from this movie that Nicole Kidman does in fact keep sweet
• 1:29:11
  and low in her coups at all times.
• 1:29:13
  Yeah.
• 1:29:15
  We're never gonna let that go.
• 1:29:19
  I'm coming to the next one with sweet and low packets.
• 1:29:23
  I'm telling you, I'm gonna put 'em in the back.
• 1:29:25
  Sweeten up your half and half love.
• 1:29:27
  Oh, see those horrible down man.
• 1:29:28
  Dan, I'd learned to always carry sweet and low packets too bad.
• 1:29:31
  But if they're already there, then I don't, I guess I don't have to.
• 1:29:34
  I don't trust you.
• 1:29:35
  Sweet and low packets.
• 1:29:36
  No thanks Turkish.
• 1:29:37
  I'm sweet enough.
• 1:29:39
  Tanya.
• 1:29:40
  I sh shared two things I learned already, but I would say a third thing
• 1:29:44
  is I think the movie still holds up.
• 1:29:47
  I would agree.
• 1:29:48
  Obviously it's very condensed version of like NASCAR racing where it's like
• 1:29:52
  it boils down to like four laps instead of, you know, 250 or 200 or whatever.
• 1:29:57
  But I'll say what I learned, I don't know shit about cars, but at least watching
• 1:30:02
  this movie I can feel like, okay, yeah, I know a couple things, you know,
• 1:30:06
  drafting and, uh, you know how to draft.
• 1:30:09
  Yeah, how to drafting.
• 1:30:10
  Definitely.
• 1:30:11
  Uh, it's all about the tires and make sure the wear right.
• 1:30:15
  And if the weather's really hot, then you know, you gotta come in.
• 1:30:18
  I don't know.
• 1:30:18
  Shit.
• 1:30:19
  I'll add one more thing for the fact that I haven't watched it in quite a few years.
• 1:30:23
  I learned there's a lot of little one-liners and saying things that I
• 1:30:28
  say that have come from this movie.
• 1:30:30
  Yes.
• 1:30:30
  A hundred percent.
• 1:30:31
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:30:31
  A hundred percent.
• 1:30:32
  Yes.
• 1:30:32
  I agree.
• 1:30:33
  A monkey fucking a football.
• 1:30:34
  It was a lot of good cursing.
• 1:30:35
  I didn't realize that so much of, uh, your guys' nomenclature
• 1:30:39
  just came from this movie.
• 1:30:40
  Yes.
• 1:30:41
  Rubbing is racing.
• 1:30:42
  I said, there's a lot of good cursing in this movie.
• 1:30:45
  Fuck yeah, dude.
• 1:30:48
  Tee it like.
• 1:30:49
  Son of a bitch, like I, I think you could have made a drinking
• 1:30:52
  game with how many times son of a bitch was said in this movie.
• 1:30:57
  Thousand percent the anniversary that we'll do that.
• 1:30:59
  I, I learned two things.
• 1:31:01
  One, I learned that you can learn a lot about racing by watching ESPN.
• 1:31:06
  Yeah.
• 1:31:07
  The ocho, you'd be surprised at what you can learn on ESPN just by watching it.
• 1:31:12
  Well, now it's YouTube.
• 1:31:13
  And two, I learned something about your podcast here, and I, if you say that
• 1:31:19
  this movie is just okay, I've learned not to trust Steve and Izzy's Oh,
• 1:31:25
  opinion when it comes to good movies.
• 1:31:28
  Oh.
• 1:31:28
  'cause I've heard some of the stuff you all have said were excellent movies
• 1:31:31
  and I've seen them and I'm like, eh.
• 1:31:33
  So dude, I'm probably not gonna get invited back.
• 1:31:36
  So to all those that are listening, bye.
• 1:31:38
  I love you all.
• 1:31:39
  I'll talk to you all later.
• 1:31:40
  Thanks.
• 1:31:41
  Well, it's been nice knowing you, Brad.
• 1:31:42
  Enjoy watching Congo again.
• 1:31:44
  Savage.
• 1:31:46
  Brad Savage.
• 1:31:47
  Brutal.
• 1:31:48
  This sounds like somebody who did not in fact watch knockoff.
• 1:31:53
  No, did not watch Knockoff come in the street.
• 1:31:55
  But I watched the I I watched the Fall Guy and Fall Guy is
• 1:31:58
  definitely an excellent movie.
• 1:31:59
  So I learned.
• 1:32:01
  Steve's a really good liar because I think he secretly thinks this movie is awesome.
• 1:32:07
  And what he said before is complete and total horseshit.
• 1:32:11
  It's true, it's true.
• 1:32:12
  I do, I I, I enjoyed this movie.
• 1:32:14
  All right.
• 1:32:14
  All right.
• 1:32:14
  I wanted to hear you confess, because there's no way the beginning and end are
• 1:32:18
  obviously the best parts, but even the stuff in between, it's just a, a stupid
• 1:32:22
  fucking brain injury drama with Tom Cruise and Australian Amazon Nicole Kidman.
• 1:32:29
  I'm okay with that.
• 1:32:30
  Oh, good.
• 1:32:30
  I'm glad you, you have confessed your sins.
• 1:32:33
  All right.
• 1:32:33
  But now you know how I feel when like, oh, the Stuntman's the worst movie ever.
• 1:32:37
  Ah, it hurts.
• 1:32:40
  So what did I learn?
• 1:32:41
  I had a whole different, what did I learn when I came into this movie?
• 1:32:45
  And it, it just got reset at the beginning.
• 1:32:48
  It's something that Tanya said.
• 1:32:50
  I learned that Tom Cruise is quote, at least five foot seven,
• 1:32:56
  approximately approximately five seven.
• 1:32:59
  He's approximately my height.
• 1:33:02
  Give or take 15 inches, he'll take it, right?
• 1:33:08
  Well also I just wanna throw out there Mountain Mandan can
• 1:33:10
  confirm that I'm not exaggerating.
• 1:33:12
  Steve is legitimately six foot eight, about 200 centimeters
• 1:33:15
  for international viewers.
• 1:33:17
  So approximately somewhere between a third and a half.
• 1:33:22
  Like about twice to, uh, I don't know how to say it.
• 1:33:26
  About twice.
• 1:33:26
  I have no idea.
• 1:33:27
  Twice as tall as Tom Cruiser, I say, yes, three foot four Tom
• 1:33:31
  Cruise fits right in your pocket.
• 1:33:34
  Some say that metric system gets you every time, doesn't it?
• 1:33:38
  I say you're about twice as tall as the, uh, guys from a CDC.
• 1:33:40
  Right.
• 1:33:42
  You met them, right?
• 1:33:43
  I mean, they they're pretty short.
• 1:33:45
  Yeah.
• 1:33:45
  How, how big is the Yeah, that's, that's a last we though.
• 1:33:47
  Yeah.
• 1:33:49
  All right.
• 1:33:49
  Well, before we close out, Steve, let's talk about the next movie
• 1:33:53
  we wanna review with you guys.
• 1:33:54
  What, what have we got on the list still to cover?
• 1:33:56
  Ooh, ooh, Ooh.
• 1:33:57
  Ooh.
• 1:33:58
  Hmm man, I'm trying to think like a good car movie, racing movie.
• 1:34:02
  It's not a full length movie, but have you guys ever seen
• 1:34:04
  Susie, the little blue coop?
• 1:34:06
  The cars thing?
• 1:34:07
  It's like the precursor to cars.
• 1:34:09
  Like it's like from like the forties or fifties.
• 1:34:12
  It's a very, very old Disney S short.
• 1:34:15
  Oh yeah.
• 1:34:16
  And it's legitimately where they took the styling for cars.
• 1:34:18
  Like for cars.
• 1:34:20
  But it's only like 20 minutes long.
• 1:34:22
  Yeah, it's about Susie's little blue coop out.
• 1:34:24
  Like she leaves the the showroom and she is like the coolest car in the yard.
• 1:34:30
  And then like as she gets older, nobody wants her and she becomes a beater.
• 1:34:33
  She shenanigans and sue.
• 1:34:35
  How sad Guys, I'm looking up car movies and Bambi the reckoning popped up, so
• 1:34:40
  I assume that's gonna be our next one.
• 1:34:42
  I mean, Tanya still hasn't watched the Formula One movie, so that's on the table.
• 1:34:47
  Neither have we.
• 1:34:48
  Have you guys seen Driven a long time ago.
• 1:34:51
  Yeah.
• 1:34:52
  No, Steve, I got it.

  What about baby driver?
• 1:35:01
  What about need for speed?
• 1:35:02
  Oh, I've seen that.
• 1:35:04

• 1:35:07
  Have you guys seen drive angry though?
• 1:35:09

• 1:35:19
  And William Ner thrown into hell for his crimes.
• 1:35:22
  Brutal felon.
• 1:35:22
  John Milton escapes from the fiery pit after Cultus murder
• 1:35:26

  They, they literally drive the plot forward.
• 1:36:07
  Nice.
• 1:36:08
  Guys, we mentioned Lamont's earlier and thinking it was like
• 1:36:10
  the longest movie ever made.
• 1:36:12
  It's only an hour 45.
• 1:36:13
  It feels like the longest.
• 1:36:15
  It feels like it's only, yeah, it feels like two and a half hours.
• 1:36:16
  Easy, but yeah.
• 1:36:17
