::That's what we got.
::But separate, not together.
::That could be.
::Um, but Marcus, uh, Oh,
::Brian is not here because

::deserved time with some
::family in Maryland.
::He's currently trying to get
::into the white house.
::I don't know.
::No, don't, don't, no, don't say that.
::I know, but you know,
::don't say it's out of context.
::It sounds bad.
::No.
::I don't want to provide any context.
::I want our listeners to
::think about how is Brian
::trying to get into the White House?
::Is he trying to get a tour?
::Is he just trying to sneak in there?
::I mean, thus far,
::I have seen no alerts come up on CNN,

::bring to life national treasure.
::In real life Smart enough to
::like deduct the clues And
::find like the back Like the
::underground tunnels and all
::of that Shout out to

::about that and so they'd be
::like here's all your jewels
::here's all your jewels that
::I found hey I took what I
::needed from the uh bill of
::rights uh the back of it so
::There was a stain on there.
::I cleaned that up.

::We're happy to have you.
::Just put it in when you're
::playing your sleeping
::sounds and rain music in the White House,

::You can take a relax.
::Put your feet up.
::Turn the movie on.
::Hey, you address the nation,
::but who addresses you?
::Only you can do that.
::Prevent forest fires?
::He instantly became Smokey the Bear.
::Yes, that's exactly what I became.
::But Marcus, OTC returns.
::How are you feeling, sir?
::I'm feeling good.
::The original tribal chief
::has returned to wrestling.
::And we're going to talk about it later.
::And it was such an OG moment.

::Summer is over.
::It's done.
::We had meetings today about moving in.
::I have org trainings this week.
::I met with Doug the most professionally,
::I think,
::more than when he worked here in
::the span of...
::Yeah, that's not.
::No, no, no.
::But I've been meeting with Doug a lot,
::like because he is like our
::person that we go to for a
::lot of programs that we use,
::this program that we use
::for the student orgs.
::And he knows all of the
::projects we kind of have in
::motion and like we've got
::somebody to kind of be the
::lead as my supervisor to
::kind of take us to the next
::level and everything like that.
::And who knows USD involved as well,
::which is super, super helpful.
::But it's time.
::It is that time.
::We don't have anything left.
::People are moving in this weekend.
::It's over.
::Yeah.
::Well, enjoy it.
::I mean, this last week, I mean,
::the Clay County Fair is in town.
::So if you want to...
::Yee-haw it up at that.
::You can do that.
::Usually I'm a fan of yee-haw.
::I don't know if that's my kind of yee-haw.
::I also don't think that
::that's my kind of yee-haw.
::I don't think it's my kind of yee-haw.
::But I will say I'm excited
::for the students to get back.
::I am excited for everybody.
::It's been a good summer.
::I'll tell you this, kiddos.
::For those that are listening,
::listen to your elders when
::they tell you don't rush to grow up.
::Yeah, it's a con.
::It's a con.
::It's a racket.
::Yeah.
::Get a job.
::Get a house.
::Have a couple of kids.
::The next thing you know,
::they're telling you stuff like, hey, dad,
::I don't want you to cuddle me.
::I want mom to cuddle me.
::And you're just going to
::have to go to bed with that fact.
::And that's the thing that
::happened to me today.
::Do you want me to elaborate?
::Let me tell this story.
::So it was my turn to put
::Harper to bed last night,
::and Brittany and I rotate.
::We rotate the kids,
::so we each get a little bit
::of time at the end of the
::day with each kid.
::And it ends up coming out in
::the month to be about even,
::which is nice.
::It's important for that.
::But last night,
::after we're done reading books,
::we usually lay with the kid
::until they go to sleep.
::And Harper sighs twice, and I went like...
::Am I, like, bothering you?
::Like, what is happening?
::And she goes...
::I just want to sleep by myself.
::And I went, what?
::And she was like, I was like,
::but mom cuddles you.
::He goes, yeah,
::that's because I like it
::when mom cuddles me.
::And I was like,
::and then for those that don't know,
::for podcasts,
::usually I have to put Harper
::to bed so I have time to
::get here on time.
::And Brittany puts Harrison to bed.
::She got upset that I was
::going to read her books again.
::And I said, well,
::what if I don't stay and cuddle you?
::Then she was like, okay,
::you can read books then.
::So she was like...
::She's like, man, she was like,
::she was cutting me to my core.
::She cut you deep.
::Real deep.
::What do you think that is?
::Is it just like.
::It's just, I mean, it's the age.
::Okay.
::Give it a year or two and
::she'll be asking where I'm at.
::So like, it's fine.
::Yeah.
::I would not know what to do
::if my only daughter.
::I probably would have started crying.
::Also, it's Harper.
::It's also par for the course for her.
::That's just kind of who she
::is as a human being.
::Except when we went to
::Thursday on the Plots and
::we linked up at Thursday on the Plots,
::Doug went to go grab a
::drink and the kids were like,
::Harrison was playing in the inflatable.
::Harper was eating her food
::and I was just watching and
::making sure they was okay.
::Harper asked me three times, excuse me,
::where's my dad?
::And I said, first time I was like, oh,
::he went to go get a drink.
::He's like over there.
::And then she was like, okay.
::And she went to eat and she
::came back and she said, excuse me,
::I don't see my dad.
::And I was like, well, all right.
::I know what the second time means.
::My favorite is the excuse me.
::Like you're a stranger.
::Like she's never seen you before.
::Like she didn't hug me
::initially when I walked over there.
::Right, right.
::Like, hey, you, buddy.
::Yeah.
::Where's my dad at?
::Where is my dad?
::Why am I sitting here with
::you eating the hot dog?
::And my answer was, you know what?
::You got a valid point.
::He's over there.
::He's just over there.
::He'll be right back.
::He obviously trusted me enough,
::but here we are.
::I immediately started
::panicking because I was like, uh-oh.
::Once a kid starts asking
::where their dad is –
::Yeah, yeah, yeah.
::But Marcus,
::we have a game that we need to
::play called Catch That Quotable.
::Catch that quotable.
::Silky sounds, Marcus J. Marcus,
::are you ready for this week's quote?
::Hit me.
::All right, here we go.
::This is a copyrighted movie
::for Time Warner.
::If I find you've sold it on eBay,
::I will break into your
::house and tear your wife in half.
::What?
::What?
::This is a copyrighted movie
::for Time Warner.
::If I find you've sold it on eBay,
::I will break into your
::house and tear your wife in half.
::Okay, this feels so extra.
::It feels like Will Ferrell.
::Wait, wait, wait.
::You want me to sing it?
::This is a copyrighted movie
::for Time Warner.
::If I find you've sold it on eBay,
::I'll break into your house
::and tear your wife in half.
::Tear your wife in half?
::Wife, like the someone you're married to.
::You want me to scream it?
::Oh, God.
::What?
::Listen, who's making these requests?
::I don't know.
::I don't know.
::I was going to try it,
::but it wasn't going to work.
::You want me to sing it?
::You want me to scream it?
::You want me to do it in a southern accent?
::No.
::You want me to do it like
::I'm from New Orleans?
::No.
::He asked me to.
::He's a Patreon member.
::Okay, so sing it and screamo.
::It's a hint.
::Okay.
::Live action or cartoon?
::I don't know.
::Screamo.
::I mean,
::the only movie that I can think of
::that would, but it's got,
::and it's sort of a comedy.
::It's one of the best movie intros.
::Oh, Jesus.
::Oh, God.
::Is this, this is, no, no, no.
::It's meta,
::because if it's a Time Warner thing,
::it's got to be a super meta movie.
::We're also out of time.
::We are also out of time.
::The only movie I can think
::of that's related to
::singing that would have any type of like,
::like heavy metal type of
::undertones to it is the
::movie with Brendan Fraser
::and Adam Sandler and Steve
::Buscemi called airheads.
::And that is the only movie I can think of.
::So that is the only guest that I have.
::That's a very good guess
::because that feels very specific.
::My mind went to animated and
::like Time Warner is such an old,
::it reminds me of Scooby-Doo.
::So then he says Screamo,
::then I thought of Kiss.
::So like there was like a
::crossover between like the
::Kiss band and like a Scooby-Doo movie-ish,
::but I don't think it gets that meta.
::And then Rip Your Wife in
::Half isn't very Scooby-Doo.
::It's not.
::I'm just,
::I'm going to have to just go with
::Scooby-Doo because I don't
::have any other guesses.
::I don't have any other guess.
::What is it?
::Oh,
::this is from the Aqua Teen Hunger Force
::movie.
::Yeah.
::Aqua Teen Hunger Force colon
::movie film for theaters.
::God damn it.
::And it is.
::It's everything that I thought it was.
::It is anime.
::Yep.
::And it is sang by the heavy
::metal band Mastodon.
::So it's actually like a full
::on heavy metal band that was singing it.
::So there you go.
::All right.
::That is.
::I love.
::Shout out to Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
::Just underrated.
::Oh my God.
::Yes.
::In general.
::I've been watching.
::I've been on a binge of Robot Chicken.
::Oh, yep.
::That's a great binge.
::Oh, my God.
::When I tell you I am dying,
::I forgot how much I love this show.
::It is so good.
::But every show like that,
::Aqua Teen Hunger Force,
::that like Adult Swim era of like, yep,
::I shouldn't be laughing at
::this comedy is like,
::that's exactly what I was ready.
::Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
::Squid Billies was my like, oh, my God.
::Yeah, that was crazy.
::Goodbillies was my jam.
::Yeah, it was.
::I don't know if it was like
::the southern component to
::it that made me super, super excited.
::But that one made me like that one.
::Like,
::get your hands off the trim like that.
::My favorite.
::Like, just I loved every second of that.
::And then like Space Space Ghost.
::Yeah.
::God, those are 2021.
::Yeah.
::I went to go Google the
::shows because it's so many
::different shows that I like
::from that 2000 era.
::So, so good.
::I have an album that you can listen to.
::If you really liked that era of music,
::listen to 2005's The Mouse and the Mask,
::Danger Mouse and MF Doom.
::did a whole album,
::but all of the intros are
::from Adult Swim shows.
::My name is... They have one
::that's just absolutely
::fantastic called No Names.
::It's usually a bit of dialogue.
::Dialogue from C-Lab.
::They're so good.
::Listen to that album.
::It's awesome.
::I love it.
::Let's put the link in the
::description this week.
::Yeah, absolutely.
::Spotify only because that's
::who we shout out to.
::Yes, that's right.
::Spotify only.
::But Marcus,
::you watched SummerSlam this weekend.
::I did.
::What's your update from the mat, sir?
::What do you got?
::All right.
::So I am going to play us a
::video in just a little bit because...
::It's going to be pivotal to
::the explanation.
::So there were a lot of changes this week,
::and I want to look it up
::because there were four
::title changes over the span
::of SummerSlam.
::Oh, my God.
::All right.
::I know.
::I know.
::That's a lot for a pay-per-view.
::Quite a few.
::And so I watched this on –
::Peacock.
::Peacock has the Olympics,
::and they show all of the SummerSlam,
::so it was me switching between.
::Two things that could not be
::more unalike on the same
::streaming platform.
::One's very, very real,
::and one is... One is entertainment.
::Yeah, one is entertainment.
::You know what I mean?
::And I'll give credit to these guys.
::I know everybody always talk about, oh,
::they're wrestling in this thing.
::Why do you watch wrestling?
::i like wrestling at this
::point in my life for the
::performance of it all right
::one of my new favorite
::phrases is um the pop okay
::and so it's like when
::somebody comes out or
::something happens there's
::this giant pop that happens
::with the crowd how does the
::crowd react to that what is
::the size of the pop um so
::you hear me say that a
::little bit so here's kind
::of like what was happening
::um we had liv morgan um
::versus rhea ripley
::for the Women's World Champion title.
::And Liv Morgan was able to
::keep and retain her title,
::but also took Rhea Ripley's man,
::who was part of... Rhea
::Ripley is... Let me tell you this.
::Rhea Ripley is fucking phenomenal.
::When I say she is a phenomenal athlete,
::Rhea Ripley is like that.
::If you ever get a chance to
::watch her wrestle, she's really good.
::At one moment,
::she threw her fucking
::shoulder out and popped
::that bitch back in and kept wrestling.
::Gangsta.
::Gangsta.
::Popped that motherfucker
::right back into place on
::the announcement table.
::So that was pretty good.
::Her partner, boyfriend, who is...
::His name is Dominic or Dirty
::Dominic Mysterio saved
::Ripley from qualification.
::And basically he turned on his partner.
::So he left Rhea Ripley for
::the women's world champion,
::Liv Morgan at SummerSlam.
::Yeah.
::So he with a steel chair.
::I'm reading this from WWE
::dot com with a steel chair.
::He planted in the ring.
::Mysterio distracted the referee.
::Seconds later,
::Morgan hit another oblivion
::on the steel chair to retain the title.
::So he did that anyway.
::Braun Breaker, the next match,
::Braun Breaker versus Sami Zayn, all right,
::for the Intercontinental title.
::Braun Breaker defeated Sami
::Zayn to win the Intercontinental title.
::I'm not as familiar with this storyline,
::but it's just too – I
::really like the wrestling
::style of Sami Zayn.
::But Braun Breaker is a
::fucking massive human being,
::like a fucking massive human being,
::and I think he's a
::phenomenal wrestler and, like,
::somebody you should
::definitely keep your eye on.
::But I'm just not –
::Yeah, Sami Zayn,
::the only reason thing that I'm looking at,
::and I'm looking at CBS
::Sports for the results.
::Apparently,
::Sami Zayn is the nephew to Scott Steiner.
::One of the highlights from
::this match was that he hit
::a Frankensteiner off the top ropes,
::which was a ode to his uncle.
::I love that.
::So Dominic Mysterio,
::Dominic is also related to, oh,
::can you look that up?
::Because he's related to like
::this pretty famous wrestler.
::I forgot his name, but his dad,
::when you see it, the picture,
::his name is Dominic Mysterio.
::He's related to,
::what the fuck is his name?
::It's onto my tongue.
::Is it Ray Mysterio?
::No, no, no, no.
::It's, oh, fuck.
::Hold on, because it's going to bother me.
::I've got I'm looking it up.
::OK, thank you.
::So I'm going to keep going.
::Like I said, I wasn't really as familiar,
::but I thought that was a
::really good match.
::The next match that I was
::really invested in because
::I hadn't heard of any of these women,
::but they like put on a fucking show.
::Right.
::So it was me.
::Oh, wait, I've got to go back.
::No, no.
::His father is Ray Mysterio
::and his great uncle is Ray Mysterio Sr.,
::Oh, I didn't.
::He had his first direct
::involvement with the WWE
::when he was eight in 2005,
::in which a storyline where his father,
::Ray Mysterio,
::battled Eddie Guerrero over
::his legal custody.
::Oh, oh, it was Eddie Guerrero.
::That's yeah.
::Yeah,
::it was Eddie Guerrero was the other
::name I was looking for.
::So, OK, so he is he is.
::That's pretty cool.
::All right.
::I'm gonna keep going.
::The next match I was super excited about,
::okay,
::for personal reasons that I will not
::share on this podcast, L.A.
::Knight versus Logan Paul.
::Mr. L.A.
::Knight, you know what I mean?
::That man really knows how to talk his shit,
::okay?
::You want somebody you want
::to watch a monologue of
::because he just knows how
::to talk that shit?
::Yeah!
::And he can make the whole crowd go, yeah.
::Like, it's so fucking good.
::L.A.
::Knight and him have been
::hyping up this United
::States title for a long time.
::Now, Logan Paul is also really good,
::and he's a really good
::wrestler because he's
::busting some moves I
::thought was fucking nuts
::for a guy that you think is like,
::what is this fucking prime
::drinking motherfucker doing?
::He actually can get some
::really good moves off,
::and he's a really good wrestler, okay?
::Oh, shit.
::Did you see it?
::When he did that leap off
::the top rope onto the walkway?
::Yeah, sweet.
::And the fucking camera angle
::and everything is so good.
::He went over like twice.
::He did so good.
::That was awesome.
::And he's a good heel, right?
::Because everybody already
::wants to beat the fuck out of him.
::Yeah.
::But my man L.A.
::Knight,
::I think this is the first time L.A.
::Knight beat Logan Paul.
::And this is the first
::championship that L.A.
::Knight has.
::And I'm so excited for it
::because I love L.A.
::Knight.
::I think that motherfucker is
::so good and should be primetime.
::And I don't know.
::They went back and forth and
::they had a really good match.
::That's the one thing I love
::about wrestling.
::The storyline only goes two ways.
::You either get the person
::who retains their title or
::you get a person who gets it new.
::But how you go about it and
::how you get there, really phenomenal.
::Next match, Mia Jack.
::It was, and for reference,
::LA Knight has been in the
::business for 21 years,
::and this is his first main roster belt.
::That's his first one in 21 years?
::His first one in 21 years.
::That's ridiculous.
::And I think that that's behind...
::This is well overdue,
::is what I want to say.
::I want to play.
::We're just fucking around this podcast,
::y'all.
::Yeah, this is just for funsies.
::This one is just for funsies.
::I want to show L.A.
::Knight his year compilation.
::All right.
::So fucking good.
::I'm just going to play a
::little bit of this,
::but I just enjoy everything
::about LA Knight.
::And I think that he's like,
::he's a really cool dude.
::You know what I mean?
::Yeah.
::Yeah.
::Yeah.
::Yeah.
::M L a night.
::Yeah.
::Let me talk to you.
::One of those bottles of prime.
::Yeah.
::Money in the bank.
::Yeah.
::Long overdue.
::Yeah.
::Let me talk to you.
::Yeah.
::Shut up.
::I'm talking.
::If you don't mind,
::I got a match to get ready for.
::Yeah.
::What the fuck?
::Yeah.
::He's just so fucking good.
::Is that a Wu-Tang symbol in
::the background?
::That was a Wu-Tang symbol in
::the background.
::Okay.
::Random and weird, but all right.
::You know what the fuck's going on.
::Anyway, LA Knight beat fucking Logan Paul,
::and I thought that was a
::really good match.
::Next match,
::Nia Jax versus Bayley for the
::WWE Women's Championship.
::I'm not really familiar with Bayley.
::I've seen Nia Jax wrestle once,
::and she's more of a... I
::don't know how to describe it.
::I don't want to be rude,
::but her wrestling style is very like...
::big body.
::So if you look up Nia Jax versus Bayley,
::they're two completely
::different body types.
::Very much so.
::Very much so.
::However,
::props to fucking Bayley because at
::some point,
::Bayley puts Nia Jax on her
::shoulders and does like a
::super slam into the fucking ring.
::And it is phenomenal to
::watch because you know they
::practice for that.
::But to be able to put
::put somebody on your shoulders.
::She's like five foot nothing.
::Bailey is five foot nothing.
::And carried her and slammed her ass.
::And you can tell, because again,
::I'm watching some clips.
::You can tell that
::the moves and the bumps that
::they had planned are always
::are a little bit more
::challenging given the
::weight differential.
::So the fact that they were
::able to do like the, the big spot.
::So for those that don't know
::wrestling terminate like terminology,
::most of the matches fluid,
::they plan it around spots.
::So they plan it around like a, okay, we'll,
::we'll grapple,
::I'll throw you down and
::then we'll get to this moment.
::So it's more,
::it's almost like major beats
::when then they plan the
::filler sort of on the spot.
::I like that.
::I love that, Doug.
::Way to get into it.
::All right.
::Thank you for that.
::Unfortunately, Nia Jax – well, fortunately,
::I didn't have a dog in the fight.
::But Nia Jax won the WWE
::Women's Championship.
::She retained her title.
::Now we're going to kind of
::heat up here a little bit.
::Drew McIntyre versus CM Punk
::with a special guest referee,
::Seth freaking Rollins.
::And so basically –
::CM Punk sabotaged Drew
::McIntyre's like a chance at
::Drew McIntyre to really go
::and get a championship.
::So he was in a match and it
::was a big match.
::CM Punk was narrating and CM
::Punk took off his fucking
::sling that he was in and
::went and sabotaged the
::whole fucking thing.
::And I think
::I think it was Seth Rollins
::that beat him or somebody
::else ended up beating Drew McIntyre,
::took away the shot for him
::to go and like win a title
::or some shit like that.
::Right.
::And then Drew McIntyre came back,
::beat the shit out of CM
::Punk and took the bracelet
::that had his wife's name
::and his dog's name on it.
::Okay.
::And so Drew McIntyre wore it.
::Like he took it, I think out of his pants,
::out of his vent loop or
::something like that and wore it.
::And that was the premise of
::the whole rest of the whole
::match with Seth,
::Seth Rollins being a guest
::judge because Seth Rollins
::is on his way back up.
::So he has to go fight one of
::these motherfuckers either way to him.
::It was a win win to be like, listen,
::I'm going to ref this fight.
::I don't give I have no dog in the fight.
::I just want you to know I'm
::running this shit.
::And so they go and do that.
::And then essentially CM Punk
::loses the match because
::he's too focused and too
::distracted about like his
::emotions basically got the best of him.
::And Drew McIntyre ended up
::winning in the end.
::Drew McIntyre is a fucking behemoth.
::He's a big dude.
::He's a solid.
::I mean, he's solid as a fucking rock.
::You look at his build.
::And then CM Punk, I think,
::just got cleared.
::And this was maybe his first
::match since he had surgery, I think,
::on his shoulder or something like that.
::That sounds right.
::Yeah, that sounds right.
::Fun fact about Seth Rollins.
::Seth Rollins is a CrossFit athlete.
::Oh, no shit.
::I like the way he dresses.
::I know everybody makes fun of that,
::but I do like the way he dresses.
::Very sparkly things, very slowly things.
::I'm like, yeah,
::do whatever the fuck you want, dude.
::I mean, it's, I mean,
::if you all watched and looked at, I mean,
::remember.
::Thank you.
::Thank you.
::The same company that had the macho man,
::Randy Savage.
::Thank you.
::There were just a lot of it.
::So it's just, let's not.
::It's part of the game.
::Like, so let's stop.
::It absolutely is.
::Yeah.
::Gunther defeated Damon
::Priest to win the world
::heavyweight title.
::Wasn't really familiar with
::their storyline.
::I just know that Priest is a
::massive human being.
::Didn't know anything about Gunther,
::but Gunther is also a
::massive human being.
::The best way that I could
::kind of frame this for
::people that may not know is
::like Rocky and Creed a little bit.
::I mean,
::it's kind of like Creed versus USA
::versus Russia.
::Because he's like this clean
::cut wrestler who wants to
::bring honor back into this
::championship belt.
::And he's supposed to be this clean cut,
::very soldier like wrestler.
::And Priest is like he was
::homeless and like this guy
::worked to get himself back.
::He is that guy.
::And he and Gunther basically
::thinks he's coming to earth.
::Right.
::Like basically that he's
::always street trash.
::Like we need to bring
::integrity back to this thing.
::Gunther.
::I mean,
::the reason Damian Priest lost is
::because him,
::Rhea Ripley and I forgot his name.
::His name is Finn.
::They are they are all in a
::group together called Judgment Day.
::So Rhea got betrayed by Dominic.
::Rhea got betrayed by Dominic
::and then Priest got betrayed by Finn.
::So and allow Gunther to put
::Priest in a fucking sleeper hole,
::which was payback because
::Priest fucked up Finn's
::spot at winning a national
::championship a couple matches ago.
::Got it.
::Got it.
::Got it.
::Yep.
::Yep.
::Yep.
::Well,
::now the Judgment Day is basically
::broken up.
::If anybody listening is a wrestling pro,
::please remember,
::I'm getting back into wrestling.
::So kiss my ass if I'm not
::getting it all the way right.
::it's wrestling it doesn't
::need to be right yeah like
::there are pages you can go
::to get the full story I'm
::giving it from my black ass
::I will I will put a link in
::the episode description if
::you want a full
::professional recount that
::is not what this is that's
::not what this is now the
::last match okay then I'll
::be done talking for a little bit
::This was the highlight of the evening,
::okay?
::And now allow me to have
::some time to kind of like
::just give you my personal
::tidbits on things, okay?
::It was the undisputed WWE
::champion Cody Rhodes versus
::Solo Sokoa in a Bloodline Rules match.
::Bloodline Rules match means that, which is,
::it's applied by Solo Sokoa
::or whoever is like the
::leader of the Bloodline.
::The leader of the bloodline,
::which is also part of this story.
::It's any rules go.
::OK.
::Hi.
::Hi, Nikki.
::It's all rules are on the line.
::OK.
::Everything goes.
::So anything can happen.
::And that's like those are bloodline rules.
::OK.
::So Solo Sokoa took over
::Roman Reigns position as
::tribal chief by force.
::OK,
::so Roman disappeared after he lost
::WrestleMania and he lost
::his title to Cody Rhodes.
::He disappeared.
::OK, he was no longer there.
::Solo Sakoa came in and said,
::I'm going to be the tribal
::chief and y'all going to acknowledge me.
::So much so he brought his
::own two boys in and own bodyguard,
::Jacob Fatu,
::who I am a huge fan of Jacob Fatu.
::And he, yo, he broke his, oh my God,
::it was so good.
::During this match, this guy,
::I watched it in real time.
::Jacob Fatu is like his enforcer.
::So the bloodline, he's got two,
::he got two of his big dogs
::on the side as like protectors.
::And then he got his,
::basically his bully and his
::security guard.
::Jacob Fatu,
::they call him the werewolf or
::something like that.
::This dude is a great wrestler.
::Oh, my God.
::This dude's a fucking fantastic wrestler.
::I hope he gets his own moment.
::This motherfucker, bro.
::He was like wrestling to
::kind of save Solo Sokoa.
::Right.
::So he's like doing all these
::things because what we saw
::was Cody Rhodes is
::balancing is battling Solo Sokoa.
::Solo said, I'm going to make Roman.
::I'm going to make Cody
::Rhodes acknowledge me as
::the tribal chief.
::And the only way to do that,
::I'm going to challenge you.
::So Cody accepted the challenge,
::and that's why they're battling Ed.
::I got it, I got it.
::Mind you,
::we have not seen Roman since
::WrestleMania.
::The last time we seen Roman,
::he lost to Cody Rhodes and
::lost his fucking championship.
::Cody Rhodes is the equivalent.
::His nickname is the American Nightmare,
::and I think it's such a
::perfect name because he smokes it.
::He embodies that.
::He's the guy that everybody loves.
::This motherfucker's 4-0 when
::it comes to defending his championship.
::He's got this look to him,
::this feel to him.
::He comes from Dusty Rhodes.
::He comes from that lineage
::and that storyline where people love him.
::If you were to watch his entrance,
::you would be able to see, oh,
::I see the title.
::It's not like he's pompous.
::He just loves this game.
::He loves the sport.
::And he's a hell of a wrestler.
::He's a big dude.
::So these two motherfuckers is going at it.
::Solo, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.
::They fighting.
::They going back and forth.
::It's a lot of good moves.
::There's some phenomenal shots the WWE got.
::If you ever get a chance,
::go watch the intro of Cody
::Rhodes in the ring.
::Because when she's like
::announcing him as the Undisputed Champ,
::he's getting so fucking live.
::I wanted to start wrestling.
::I thought that bitch was cold.
::Okay, cool.
::So they get to scrapping.
::Now, Solo, of course,
::is starting to lose because
::he's realizing Cody Rhodes
::is a little bit of a problem.
::And Cody Rhodes is realizing
::Solo Sokoa is kind of a big
::motherfucker that know how to wrestle,
::right?
::And so Solo calls in his two goons, okay?
::So his two goons come in.
::Guess who flies out?
::Fucking Randy Orton.
::And I think his name was,
::I want to make sure I get his name right,
::but I think his name was Chris.
::I'm not as familiar with him,
::but I like it.
::But they have this scene
::where these two motherfuckers,
::they go and they wrestle each other.
::Oh, Kevin Owens and Randy Orton.
::They came out and entered to
::take Noah and Tonga out of the equation.
::That's what they said.
::I want to get their names right.
::Okay.
::So boom, they go, wop, wop, wop, wop, wop.
::They take them,
::I like the setup of it as a
::script writer.
::They take these two
::motherfuckers that were the extras,
::they're taking it like they
::took the fight out of the stadium.
::So you don't have to worry
::about where the two are, right?
::It's like, okay.
::So those two dudes are now covered,
::which makes way for these pops to happen.
::So you got to figure out
::what's the next pop.
::So they're going back and forth.
::OK, now the werewolf, this motherfucker,
::Jacob Fatu,
::flies off of the ropes into
::the into Cody Rhodes on the
::announcer table.
::I watched it live.
::He broke his foot.
::He broke his foot.
::So everybody thought it was a good thing.
::But this motherfucker broke
::his foot because he tried
::to stand up and he couldn't stand up.
::But this was the best part.
::He stayed in character.
::So he was so mad that he
::couldn't get up that he's
::literally dragging himself
::and his foot across the
::floor like he's fucking upset about it.
::It was so fucking good
::because everybody was like, no,
::he's playing it off.
::That was part of the script.
::I said, no,
::he really broke his shit
::because he could not get up
::from that area.
::So much so the final shot
::was like still him in that same area.
::So he does that.
::Boom.
::He's basically out of the equation.
::So I have no idea if
::something else was supposed
::to happen with him,
::but they got to pivot now.
::Right.
::Boom.
::Solo comes in there.
::Him and they going back and forth.
::Guess what the fuck happens.
::Right.
::There's this massive thing.
::Cody Rose tries to give him
::the crossroads like three times.
::Solo and him is just kind of
::at the stalemate.
::Next thing you know,
::you hear Roman's theme song pop off.
::Oh my goodness.
::You hear Roman's theme song
::pop off and I'm going to
::show y'all what happened.
::This is called a pop.
::Okay.
::Yeah.
::Is everybody with me?
::Yes.
::This is the pop.
::This is going to be the pop.
::Now, mind you,
::there was just two massive
::moments that just happened
::that have these two
::motherfuckers knocked out.
::This is the pop that happens.
::You hear that?
::That's a stadium filled with people.
::That's loud.
::Yeah, that's loud.
::You can always tell it's
::loud when the audio starts to go.
::So he's walking out, right,
::for those that are watching.
::It says head of the table on the screen.
::He's here!
::He's here!
::He's here!
::Roman Reigns is here!
::He's wearing a shirt that says OTC,
::the original tribal chief.
::So he takes this long walk, right?
::Because I don't want to play
::this full thing.
::But the pop goes on.
::I want to show y'all what he
::does when he gets into the ring.
::Okay?
::Are you ready?
::Yeah.
::Here we go.
::Look at this.
::He's eyeballing Solo Sokoa
::because Solo knows he fucked up.
::Solo knows he fucked up so bad.
::And Cody Rhodes is scared
::because he doesn't know who
::Roman Reigns is there for.
::Look at this.
::Look at this.
::I'm right in the ring.
::Superman punch.
::But look at the spear.
::Now he hits a Superman punch
::and then goes into a spear.
::Listen to the pop.
::Look.
::Yeah, you can hear it.
::I mean, listen, this shit is fucking crazy,
::though.
::That's wild.
::So good.
::So that was the final match
::of the evening.
::At the end, of course, Cody Rhodes wins.
::And then Roman Reigns and
::Cody Rhodes have this eye.
::They're staring each other down.
::And Roman says,
::it's only a matter of time.
::Because basically,
::these two motherfuckers are
::going to meet again.
::Yeah.
::I mean, it's going to be,
::it's going to be another
::WrestleMania match.
::Like that's,
::that's going to be the way it'll work,
::but you're in between now
::and then because
::WrestleMania is usually January ish.
::Um,
::in between now and then you're going to
::get like the complete
::unraveling and civil war of the, um,
::he got a handle solo first
::and then bloodline.
::And then he's going to go
::and he's going to,
::he's going to go for Kobe
::Rhodes for sure.
::Yeah.
::Yep.
::Yeah.
::Awesome.
::Well, dude, I'm glad that that was,
::I'm glad that was entertaining.
::Like that's, that's,
::it's always hard to cover.
::I mean,
::you covered a full pay-per-view in
::about 15 minutes.
::So like,
::I think you're just fine like that.
::It's no, no, no, you're fine.
::And you're into it.
::And who gives a shit?
::Like if you're into it,
::let's fucking hear about it, man.
::Um, what'd you got?
::I'm going to keep us close to wrestling,
::but now into the film world.
::So Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, you know,
::you love them.
::How do you like them?
::Apples, uh, goodwill hunting, right?
::That's what, that's the,
::they were in that movie together.
::Oh, yeah.
::It's from that movie.
::It's like the most famous
::line from that movie.
::Marcus, have you seen Good Will Hunting?
::Yes, I've seen Good Will Hunting.
::I thought it was in Coraline.
::I thought you were asking me.
::You got confused that I was
::for some reason coming at
::you and you're like,
::this is a little hostile.
::No, it's not.
::It's me referencing Ben
::Affleck and Matt Damon.
::Back in 2016, Hulk Hogan
::whose real name is Terry Bollea,
::sued the site Gawker to
::settle a sex tape lawsuit
::because the company
::basically released the
::details of his sex tape,
::and he didn't want it to be leaked.
::Now,
::this gives us some of the most funny
::quotes that you will ever
::hear in your life come out
::of a man's mouth.
::So, here's the first one.
::So...
::in his it is role
::In his role as Hulk Hogan,
::he once bragged about how
::he had a 10-inch penis in
::his role as Hulk Hogan.
::As a part of the deposition,
::he was put into the stand
::as a witness in a trial,
::and someone asked him about
::if he in fact said those things.
::This was his response.
::I do not have a 10-inch penis.
::Hogan said,
::referring to an interview he
::did in character.
::Terry Bollea's penis is not 10 inches.
::I was Hulk Hogan during the
::interviews because I wasn't
::at home in my private house.
::So he basically said,
::if he's not in his house,
::he's Hulk Hogan.
::But when he's in his house,
::he's Terry Bollea,
::which is hilarious to me.
::It's always in character.
::Oh my God.
::Imagine that.
::You are in your house.
::It's Thanksgiving.
::And your wife is like, ooh, shit,
::we're out of whipped cream.
::Can you run and go and get it?
::Honey,
::I don't want to do that because when
::I leave the house,
::it's a whole fucking thing.
::And I can't just run and
::grab something real quick.
::Terry stays here.
::Do you want Terry to go?
::You want Hulk to go?
::She goes,
::I'm not having this conversation again.
::Like,
::that is the funniest fucking thing to me.
::I think it's crazy that, first of all,
::it's like when I walk out this house,
::I got a 10 inch penis.
::But when I walk in this house,
::Terry ain't got no 10 inch penis.
::Yeah.
::See, I would operate the opposite way.
::Like, you know what I mean?
::Like, that's my house.
::No, no, no.
::I can lie to everybody outside this house.
::Nobody's going to see my penis.
::In this house, my wife knows.
::But here's the thing that's insane.
::Here's the thing that's
::insane about that is that
::You then went and had an affair.
::So you basically were like, hey,
::only people in my house know.
::Not anymore.
::Not anymore.
::Not anymore.
::Unless you have to sign an NDA that says.
::I mean, yeah, maybe.
::I mean, yeah.
::I mean, yeah.
::But that's the.
::Where else do you think he
::operates with that split personality?
::I don't know.
::Yeah, I don't know.
::And so, anyway,
::he wasn't mad about Gawker
::having an article on there
::about how he had a sex tape
::six years before the trial.
::He's mad because the video
::got released of his sex
::tape got released to Gawker.
::And this was actually such a
::big deal that it actually
::led to Gawker's website
::being shut down because
::they agreed to pay him $31
::million as a result of this
::particular piece.
::So...
::They are African Damon
::worked on Amazon's movie
::air where they were talking
::about Nike and how they got
::Michael Jordan.
::And so this is going to be
::the same sort of crew with those two.
::And then what makes this an
::even better movie is Gus Van Zandt,
::who directed Damon and
::Affleck in Good Will Hunting,
::is set to direct is set to
::helm the movie called Killing Gawker.
::So I have, first off,
::this movie sounds like it's
::going to be the,
::the drama associated with
::the trial leading up to it.
::Someone playing Hulk Hogan,
::who is going to delineate
::the 10 inch penis line.
::And then you added the
::actors and directors.
::Fuck.
::This thing is going to be,
::this thing can't miss.
::This motherfucking can't miss.
::Like, it can't.
::I'm so excited.
::I am so excited.
::This is an insane plot for a movie.
::That is crazy.
::Ben Affleck is playing Hulk, right?
::I don't know.
::It just says, yeah, that's it.
::I mean,
::it's based off of a book that was
::released in 2018 called Conspiracy,
::Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker,
::and the Anatomy of Intrigue.
::But I don't think they... Yeah,
::Peter Thiel was the one who
::co-founded PayPal,
::and he helped finance Hogan's lawsuit.
::But it doesn't have any cast listed.
::Got it.
::So you think it'll be more on Hulk's side,
::or you think it'll be more
::of a... I think it'll
::probably... I think it will
::probably try to take an objective tone.
::I think, if anything,
::it'll probably center around...
::peter thiel where you'll get
::to kind of know him a
::little bit and his
::motivations for wanting to
::finance this lawsuit so I
::think we'll probably get
::there but my guess is that
::this is going to be a
::putting the idea that once
::something is on the
::internet it's on there
::forever type of concept and
::the ramification the legal
::ramifications of that so
::yeah I don't know but I'm
::I'm on board quit digging
::you hit oil like this is perfect
::He got so excited.
::You know what?
::Yeah, fuck it.
::Yeah, let's do it.
::We're going to talk about
::the shit that gets us excited.
::This gets me excited.
::And I'm very interested.
::And it didn't take you 15
::minutes to get there, so I appreciate it.
::I mean, I don't want to bury the lead.
::Hulk Hogan was in a witness
::stand and had to delineate
::that when he's in his house,
::he's Terry Bollea.
::But anytime he's not, he's Hulk Hogan.
::Step outside like a werewolf.
::Like all of a sudden.
::Yeah.
::So what does the full?
::Yeah,
::because then I got to put on the
::whole Hulk Hogan outfit,
::costume or a lot.
::That's a lot.
::Here's my question.
::Is he calling everybody at
::his house brother when he's
::Terry Bollea or is that
::just a Hulk Hogan thing?
::I think it's just a Hulk Hogan thing.
::Also,
::Hulk Hogan was at the Republican
::National Convention.
::Does Terry feel that way about it?
::Terry's a Democrat.
::In the house.
::That's a pretty big justification.
::They're both the same.
::They're both problematic.
::Please, these are jokes.
::We understand that they are
::one and the same.
::We understand that they're
::the same person.
::Hulk Hogan has been
::endorsing the 300 Club and
::talking to people about how
::Jesus Christ is going to run wild on you,
::brother.
::That's what he's been doing.
::He's been talking about that.
::How does Terry feel about that?
::I don't know.
::I can't stand you, dude.
::You added that piece of it.
::Shout out to him.
::Shout out to Terry.
::Shout out to whoever's got
::the tendon penis, I guess.
::But whatever.
::You know what?
::It's like a tootsie.
::The world may never know.
::That's a terrible comparison.
::And you know that.
::You know that.
::I do now.
::Oh, man.
::All right.
::I do now.
::Brian, he's disappointed.
::I'm really upset.
::Boy, howdy.
::Oof.
::Oof.
::Yeah, yeah.
::Not good.
::Anyway.
::What do you got?
::What's your piece?
::What do you got?
::I binge watched the new Batman,
::Caped Crusader show over this weekend.
::I think it's 10 episodes.
::Each episode is about 22 to
::25 minutes apiece.
::All right.
::Just really,
::I probably will go no spoiler review.
::Okay.
::I think it's a really good show.
::It's on Prime.
::Yeah.
::I thought it was on HBO Max,
::but it's on Prime.
::I'm sure it'll end up on HBO Max.
::And really,
::I think it was executive
::produced by... Yeah,
::I'll talk a little bit
::about it because I've
::watched the first two
::episodes while you look that up.
::So it's really well done.
::I think it does a couple of
::things really well.
::The first is that it sort of
::captures the essence of...
::It captures the essence of Batman,
::the animated series,
::while also making it its
::own distinct thing.
::It looks and feels like it's
::somewhere you've been before,
::but it is also
::simultaneously such a
::unique take on some of
::those storylines that it's well done.
::J.J.
::Abrams was one of the producers.
::Was that the person you were thinking of?
::Yep.
::Yep.
::It was J.J.
::Abrams and Bruce Timm.
::Yep.
::So from the original.
::And Matt Reeves.
::And Matt Reeves is also part of this, too.
::Yeah.
::So going down some of the
::things for the voice cast.
::Hamish Linklater.
::Linklater.
::Hamish Linklater.
::Linklater.
::Thank you.
::Hamish Linklater plays
::Batman or Bruce Wayne.
::Really phenomenal job there.
::Jamie Chung plays Harley Quinn.
::Minnie Driver plays Oswalda Cobblepot.
::Dedrick Batter,
::and I'm just finding this
::out in real time,
::is Harvey Dent in Two-Face.
::He did a phenomenal job.
::Christina Ritchie is Catwoman.
::Crystal Joy Brown is Barbara Gordon.
::McKenna Grace is Natalia Knight.
::Eric Morgan Stewart is
::Commissioner Jim Gordon.
::It's like a really good cast.
::They have a racist ghost on here,
::like a little bit.
::It seems like is what was hinted at.
::I didn't get to the racist ghost.
::Oh, man.
::When you get to the episode,
::let me know because that
::was what I picked up on by
::the setup of the characters,
::but they didn't address it directly.
::It's going to be pretty
::clear it's a racist ghost, right?
::No,
::he's not going to just say a slur or
::anything like that.
::He's not going to boo a slur.
::I mean, it is on Prime.
::I don't know how they live their life.
::Yeah, you know, you never know.
::You don't know what's going to happen.
::With the real life Lex Luthor.
::I think that... No.
::They have a lot of
::iterations of characters
::that are different than the ones we know.
::So it really is like early Batman,
::but he's been doing this for a while.
::He's not an established Batman.
::It almost feels like before
::we get to the animated series.
::There's a phenomenal last
::shot in the last episode
::that I think was like, wow,
::y'all fucking killed that.
::It really does well like the
::animated series does.
::If you've ever watched the
::original Batman the Animated Series,
::you know that they don't
::just focus on batman they
::do really focused on the
::characters and the
::characterizations of people
::that live in that world too
::um and they get back to
::that in this episode like
::there's literally an
::episode in the in the old
::school batman where it's
::like batman stuck in a
::basement and two kids have
::to help him and say yeah
::and that's the entire
::episode that's the whole
::episode and you're like
::what the fuck is this but
::it kind of shows you how batman
::What people think of Batman.
::So it's a really,
::really good animated show.
::And I think,
::I think if you try to do this
::in live action, it could be hit or miss,
::but I'm glad that animation
::is getting back to that
::point where you can like, I don't know,
::do things and enjoy things
::in a way that only
::animation you can kind of get off.
::Yeah.
::The thing I've appreciated about it is,
::you know, the anime Batman,
::the animated series,
::you were always following
::around Bruce Wayne or Batman.
::Like the villains were there,
::but you never really got a
::whole lot of like around
::their atmosphere.
::You kind of just got the
::villains and that was it.
::What I really liked that they did,
::especially in the as well,
::the Cobblepot episode is it was like,
::yeah,
::he was there like fighting crime and
::shit.
::But it was mostly like the detectives,
::the goons that were close
::to Penguin and then Penguin.
::And then like Batman was
::like there to like
::basically break shit up.
::And so it was such a unique
::take on like how that was done.
::And I like how you kind of
::get it from that storyline.
::I was where they've got me
::is that I've only watched
::the first two episodes.
::And the second episode was
::there like Clayface episode.
::Oh yeah.
::Was that the second episode?
::Yes.
::That was a good episode.
::And that was really good.
::Like that was really,
::really good because I was
::worried at first.
::Cause I was like, I don't know.
::This feels a little like
::Batman in real life to a certain extent,
::but they pulled that off.
::Like, and I didn't ask,
::any questions I was like
::okay yep you got it sold
::yep so yeah it was really
::good I enjoyed that I've
::been enjoying it so far and
::to that point they do a lot
::of the and you'll see it
::more as you get into the
::episodes they do a lot of
::introducing things in
::Batman's world that isn't
::just about him being in
::Gotham also I do recognize
::the success in a I'm not
::really good with timeline
::but like 60's 70's ish feel that this has
::There are certain things that it's like,
::oh, yeah,
::I see why Batman would be an
::anomaly in this world
::because they don't have the
::technology that we would.
::So like that kind of put
::into perspective how
::successful Batman was in that time.
::The more we get like
::intertwined with like
::technology and things
::become more unrealistic because, oh,
::we all have a phone.
::They don't do all that shit here.
::It's like an old school radio.
::It's still old school Batman,
::but it just feels good.
::And a lot of setups for later characters.
::For all y'all motherfuckers
::that keep saying, well,
::they checked all the DEI boxes.
::Number one, shut the fuck up.
::Just because you don't like
::when somebody makes a
::character change or gender
::swapping Oswald Cobblepot
::Obviously,
::they're setting these people up
::and these characters up for
::their second wave of
::iterations is what I think they're doing.
::So a lot of these characters
::will inspire like they have
::a character called Firebug.
::Obviously,
::that is a character like they
::made that reference to the
::original character in
::original character in Batman,
::which was called Firebug
::before you get Firefly.
::Same thing.
::Just have some patience and
::shut the fuck up.
::yeah just and the other
::thing is is that there is
::such a thing called like
::artistic interpretation
::that you know I really like
::the fact that because it's
::never ever been indicated
::and this is the thing that
::I like about it and this is
::the thing that bugs me
::about like comic book fans
::is some comic book fans not
::all let's not paint with
::too broad a brush but like
::Barbara Gordon and Jim
::Gordon are both black.
::And so what I've loved about
::that is nowhere anywhere.
::Did anyone ever say that
::they had to be white?
::Like ever?
::It's not, it's never like, yes,
::that's the way it is in the
::original series, but no one was like,
::and obviously he's white.
::Yes.
::Like that's no one ever did that.
::And so the fact that like
::the fact that they're like, uh-huh,
::we don't I don't understand
::why he couldn't be so like
::I really appreciate the way
::that they went with that
::and it follows it follows
::the matt reeves's black jim
::gordon it follows the bat
::girl movie that was
::canceled unfortunately she
::was black in that so it's
::like it's possible just
::because you get mad it's
::happening even harley quinn
::I don't want to spoil it
::for you but yeah there's
::some things that come down
::there down that down that
::line so like yeah for sure
::Yeah, big fan.
::Good show.
::I'd watch it.
::Okay, good.
::Yeah, awesome.
::And if that's not a reason to get Prime,
::they also released a Sausage Party series,
::which I have not watched,
::but that is also on there
::if you'd like to watch that.
::We're going to sit in this
::just like right now in the
::silence as your
::disappointment takes over your face.
::Marcus has never been more
::disgusted by a movie than that movie.
::So that's why I brought it.
::That movie almost made me throw up.
::I still to this day can't
::explain watching that movie
::with your parents and being like,
::I want to throw up.
::Or with your in-laws.
::That's an even worse decision.
::That's a thing that happened to me.
::It was funny.
::Don't get me wrong.
::And I see it.
::The comedy is just,
::I don't think I can watch a
::TV show for a little bit.
::I'm surprised Amazon Prime was like,
::you know what we need a show of?
::Seth Rogen is... I don't know.
::He's got the talent.
::Anything he puts his hands to,
::I think that there is that...
::I don't know.
::He just knows he's going to
::do it with such good
::intention and like such natural comedy.
::Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,
::anything that he's done so
::far recently has been like, yeah,
::but knock that out the park.
::You know what it is?
::The thing that I think that
::makes it hard is that they
::gave them they made the
::buns like shapely and they
::gave the buns curves.
::And that's what throws me
::off every time because I'm
::like that just it doesn't look right.
::That's not how I imagine a hot dog bun.
::It's a whole thing.
::Well, let's pivot, shall we?
::Let's do a hard right.
::Let's do the boy howdy hard right.
::Let's talk about Vince Vaughn, shall we?
::Okay.
::So Vince Vaughn is currently
::in Curb Your Enthusiasm, but most of us,
::I mean, if you're Marcus and I's age,
::Marcus Bryan and I's age,
::you know Vince Vaughn from his late 90s,
::early 2000s,
::R rated comedies, uh, wedding crashers,
::old school fucking classics, man.
::Swingers.
::This isn't an R rated comedy,
::but he was in Fred Claus.
::I mean, the guy was like everywhere.
::Like he was, he was everywhere.
::Like he was in everything.
::He was all over the place.
::And recently he was on a show.
::He was recently on the show hot ones,
::which you can watch on Hulu now,
::which is kind of cool.
::Um, and yeah,
::He kind of said that like he
::kind of made this statement
::that made me think.
::And so I kind of wanted
::Marcus to hear your your take on it.
::And really,
::he sort of talked about like
::why those R rated movies
::aren't being made.
::And so I'm going to read.
::I'm going to read the quote
::to you and you let me know
::what you think.
::So, um, the, uh, the interviewer asked him,
::you know,
::why don't you think we're seeing
::more R rated com comedies?
::And here's what he said.
::The execs just overthink it.
::And it's like, it's crazy.
::You get these rules.
::Like if you did geometry and
::you said 87 degrees was the right angle,
::then all your answers are
::messed up instead of 90 degrees.
::So there becomes some,
::some idea or concept.
::Like they would say
::something like you have to have an IP,
::uh,
::The people in charge don't
::want to get fired more,
::so then they're looking to
::do something great.
::So they want to kind of
::follow a set of rules that
::somehow get set in stone
::that don't really translate.
::But as long as you follow them,
::they're not going to lose
::their job because they can say, well,
::look,
::I made a movie off the board game Payday,
::so even though the movie didn't work,
::you can't let me go, right?
::Um, and then the last thing he said is he,
::he was asked, like,
::do you think we'll get more
::R rated comedies?
::He goes, people want to laugh.
::People want to look stuff at,
::want to look at stuff that
::feels a little bit like it's, you know,
::dangerous or pushing the envelope.
::I think you're going to see
::more of it in the film
::space sooner than later
::would be my guess.
::Um,
::I thought the bit in there
::about IP and kind of giving
::you the immunity from being fired,
::that's a fascinating
::concept that I hadn't
::previously considered.
::But I wanted to get your take on it.
::So thoughts on that?
::I mean, I think he's absolutely right.
::I mean, I think of David Zasloff.
::I think of all of these.
::Their main job is to protect the...
::profit their main job is to
::protect themselves if I'm
::just being honest not a lot
::of them care about the art
::of a movie and what would
::actually work and we said
::it before like when kobit
::was happening there was a
::lot of norms that were made
::norman it was kind of like
::why the the one I think
::about predominantly is when
::you had white actors
::voicing black characters
::for so long and everybody
::was just kind of like
::why like yeah or any
::character of color I mean
::right remember like Apu
::from the Simpsons was the
::best example of a lot of
::this yes and it was and
::thank you and it was like
::to a point it was like why
::did why were we doing this
::and then people kind of
::stopped doing it of like
::yeah it doesn't make any
::sense and then they make that change but
::I agree with everything he said.
::And I do think we'll get that comedy back,
::and I think that there will
::be a smart way where you
::don't have to be just offensive to do it.
::You can make fun,
::smart comedy like Robot Chicken,
::like Family Guy,
::like all of these shows
::that we've seen before.
::Because I think about the comedy piece,
::I think he's right.
::I think he's right.
::I think people do like to laugh.
::Comedy does better when it's a little...
::askew right like it's not
::and people get to look at
::something a little bit
::weird and we all get to
::have this collective moment
::where we sort of laugh at
::it so I appreciate that I
::think that's spot on but I
::think you're absolutely
::right about the IP stuff I
::mean it makes a lot of
::sense it's why we saw
::Barbie was good by itself
::but I think maybe and this
::is what makes me nervous is
::that was Barbie greenlit
::because it was a movie
::about a doll or was it
::greenlit because the story was good
::I think sometimes you can have both.
::And I think you're right.
::Yep.
::My movie that I would use
::for his example specifically is Morbius.
::Not to beat a dead horse.
::100%.
::Well, a living dead horse, but yes.
::But we're looking for spiders.
::Or Madame Web as another example.
::Both movies, it came out,
::the director said that both
::of these movies were made by committee.
::So if the committee has no,
::we know the formula,
::this formula is going to
::work and these are the
::boxes we have to check.
::You kind of got a hand tied
::behind your back when it's
::time to execute.
::Yeah, great point.
::Yeah, we have the IP.
::We don't really care how we use it,
::but we have the intellectual property.
::We're going to go ahead and
::just move forward.
::And if it doesn't work, then whoops.
::And I need this, this,
::and this as part of this is how Sony,
::just as an example,
::Sony has these boxes to
::check every time we do something.
::It's got this, this, and this.
::as as the big board of
::directors okay well as a
::creative now my hands are
::tied because you making me
::have things that maybe
::don't make sense and we
::always hear about directors
::saying well this got cut
::and I don't know why blah
::blah blah because they
::gotta save their ass like
::that's I agree with
::everything that he said
::when I think he was I think
::he was absolutely spot on like i
::I think it's a I think it's
::a tactic to it's either a
::it's a pre canned excuse
::for when the money doesn't do well.
::And it is a pre canned
::excuse for why you don't
::see more directors or more
::writers or more like studios.
::like basically like, like going,
::having people fired at the
::level that they are like
::CEOs and directors of big studios,
::their board of directors,
::aren't letting them go.
::Cause they were saying like, well,
::we had this IP.
::So it was,
::so it was either cheap for us to make,
::or it was cost effective for us to make,
::because now we have that.
::We can come back to it.
::And it just didn't work this time.
::Like going back to sequels.
::I know what works.
::I know that these boxes,
::I check these boxes every single time.
::Yeah.
::This is what works.
::Yeah.
::And so hopefully,
::hopefully we see Hollywood
::directors maybe revolt
::against that a little bit.
::But it also makes me it's
::sort of like I sort of get
::caught with like a chicken
::and an egg thing with it,
::because it's the same
::reason why when people are like, oh, man,
::you like Coors Light.
::It's like,
::but you have to have the stuff there.
::for people to like revolt
::against and to create a craft beer scene.
::You need to have those like canned movies.
::So that way someone can get
::their experience directing
::and then go and do something later.
::So it's just, it's hard.
::So you don't like want to wish it away,
::but it is, it makes it challenging.
::I'm sure to be a creative in that space.
::Yeah.
::yeah that cookie cutter
::route don't work for
::everything I'll tell you
::that so it does not it does
::not and I think we have
::seen some where it is like
::starting to to like back up
::on them a little bit too yeah yeah so
::Cool.
::The last thing I want to say,
::and this is a shared piece
::of news because you tipped
::this off to me before the
::podcast started.
::So this is shared news, everybody.
::Doug and Marcus.
::A Doug and Marcus original.
::Dave Bautista, Jason Momoa.
::Marcus,
::when I say those two things together,
::Jason Momoa, Dave Bautista,
::what do you think of?
::Six.
::Six.
::Okay.
::Okay.
::Was that not the answer?
::Like, with you?
::Or, like, just with each other?
::No, no, like,
::if I was to think of the word sex,
::I think that those two would embody,
::like... Oh, like sexy dudes.
::Yeah, sexy dudes.
::Okay, yeah.
::No, you nailed it.
::They are attractive.
::That's not my preference.
::No, yeah.
::They are attractive.
::They are two attractive guys.
::Yeah, for sure.
::Yeah, yeah.
::Yeah.
::In another life, I wouldn't think twice.
::Um...
::They are going to be
::doing... The trains are coming.
::All I'm going to say is
::someone offers me $100,000, I mean,
::that is going to be... Hey, Doug,
::I'm going to finance a lot
::of your life for 15 minutes of your time.
::I'm going to be like...
::All right.
::Where do I sign?
::That's a lot.
::No.
::I mean, I've done.
::That's a lot.
::What?
::You've done.
::Okay.
::Let's just keep this.
::You know what?
::What?
::I was trying.
::I almost compared.
::What?
::I almost compared having...
::like,
::consensual sex with a man to a really
::hard workout I did once.
::Sometimes it feels like this.
::Sometimes.
::I wouldn't know, but, like,
::when you were like, it's 15 minutes,
::I almost went like, yeah,
::I've done workouts that are
::20 that are far worse.
::Like...
::So here we are, everybody.
::I'm sending this in the private chat,
::and I want you to read it,
::but don't read it out loud.
::Okay, I'm gonna start laughing.
::That's what's gonna happen.
::Anyway,
::but they are being booked to do a
::movie together.
::I have to read it.
::Yeah, you do.
::Oh, shit, yep.
::Yep, yep, yep.
::Had a little too much fiber
::the day before?
::Yep, I get it.
::Um...
::They are going to be doing.
::Anyway,
::and Jason Momoa are going to be
::doing a buddy cop action movie.
::called The Wrecking Crew.
::Basically,
::the idea is that they are two people,
::they're two brothers,
::and they're investigating a murder.
::Their father's murder.
::Their father's murder.
::And the best part about this
::is that the director of Blue Beetle,
::Angel Manuel Soto,
::is going to be the one directing it.
::So...
::I thought he did a good job
::with blue beetle for what
::blue beetle was.
::Um,
::and so it's actually kind of a really
::good example of like the
::last thing we were talking about.
::You did blue beetle,
::which had to check some boxes for DC.
::They put in his,
::he earned his chops and now
::he gets to do this like
::really fun movie with, you know, Dave and,
::um, Jason Momoa.
::So that's, that's going to be a fun movie.
::And I am, I am on board.
::Cause that's going to be,
::that's going to be fun.
::You say less.
::I saw the article and I was like,
::Doug's going to love this.
::I love this because we've
::been bigging up Batista for a long time.
::And we, I mean, we're fans of Jason Momoa.
::Yeah.
::Like already.
::So, I mean, that's a great,
::that's two great people to
::put on screen together.
::It didn't necessarily say comedy, right?
::It just said action.
::It said a buddy action cop movie.
::So yeah, it could be like a,
::like a lethal weapon.
::I would think.
::I like it.
::I like it a lot.
::Yeah, no,
::I'm absolutely here for it
::because those two dudes are huge.
::And that's,
::that's the only thing that I would say,
::if there's anything that makes me nervous,
::uh,
::if it were any two other actors,
::I would be nervous about
::two big dudes and them
::arguing over who gets the
::spot of the big action sequence.
::But I think those two are
::such like standup dudes.
::And I just don't think it's going to be,
::they're humble.
::Like you said,
::they're humble enough where
::I don't think it's going to
::be a problem longterm for
::them to really like,
::go after it so yeah it's not
::and I hate to make this
::comparison because I do
::like The Rock but it's not
::if you put The Rock and Vin
::Diesel on screen together
::you took the words out of
::my mouth that is exactly
::who I was referring to that
::would literally be the
::opposite of this movie yeah
::100% so no release date
::because the details were
::finalized right before the
::SAG after strike so there
::aren't like major details
::that came up but that's
::where they are at as of now
::so there you have it
::I'm excited.
::I like that combination.
::Yeah, I do too.
::That's going to be a really good combo.
::Anything else, Marcus,
::that you would like to chat
::about on this lovely
::episode of Films in Black and White?

::Uh, and so, yeah,
::we would absolutely love you if you did.
::And if you don't and you still listen,
::we love you anyway.
::Um, uh,
::But Marcus,
::we have a three-step process to success.
::Sir, what is that first step?
::Oh,
::that first step in line of my good
::brother, Brian Roush.
::You want to make sure that
::you read a book.
::Read something.
::You know what I mean?
::Read the newspaper.
::There's digital books.
::There's so many good things out right now.
::I got a lot of books that I
::get from my good friend, Dr. John Little.
::He gives me the books that
::when he's done reading, I get to get them,
::whether it's comic books or
::it's a new book.
::But whatever you do, read something.
::Yeah, absolutely.
::The next step is, look, y'all,
::it's it's August and August
::can be hot and August can be humid.
::And you want to make sure
::that you drink some water.
::Look,
::it's important to stay hydrated for
::those of y'all that are
::coming back to school.
::You know, there's some anxiety,
::there's some nervousness.
::Your stomach can seize up on
::you and maybe you're not as
::frequent as you need to be.
::Water helps flush a lot of that out.
::So just drink some water.
::Treat yourself to the nice
::water every now and then.
::Do something special just for you.
::But yeah, make sure you drink some water.
::Yeah, I love that.
::I love that.
::And for the final step,
::you want to make sure that
::you wash your ass just as
::muggy and sticky and humid
::that August can be soaking your ass.
::So you want to make sure
::that you wash your ass,
::get a rag and then throw that rag away.
::If it's about that time,
::get some new ones.
::So you're not just holding
::that smell up in them rags.
::All right.
::Yeah.
::I mean, at the very least, wash them,
::right?
::Like at the very least,
::a lot of y'all are just
::leaving that there and
::letting it dry out.
::It's just not working.
::You know,
::swamp ass is a real thing and you
::don't want to keep washing
::with the same swamp assy cloth.
::So yeah, a hundred percent.
::Yeah.
::Uh, so yeah,
::that does it for this week's
::episode of films of black and white.
::We will be back next week
::with another outstanding episode,
::but in the meantime,
::and in the between time, stay safe,
::stay healthy.
::We love y'all.
::We appreciate y'all.
::We'll catch y'all next week.
::When you said pure extortion
::on the phone and it went I went oh fuck I
::Oh, that was my real life.
::Y'all don't even know.
