00:01:51.745 --> 00:01:53.331 And it, it seems. 00:01:53.331 --> 00:02:02.762 Uh, I, I grew up breaking my heart, leaving it because of this movie you're killing me, I know I know, but it seems that, uh, it may not have happened was it ruth that? 00:02:02.802 --> 00:02:06.890 that's that guy that they call Bobbity right? 00:02:07.171 --> 00:02:08.473 Everyone's favorite Met. 00:02:08.473 --> 00:02:13.008 It's the greatest Met of all time, majin. 00:02:13.008 --> 00:02:14.876 Buu Baby. 00:02:14.915 --> 00:02:15.258 Ruth. 00:02:19.912 --> 00:02:21.157 Majin Buu. 00:02:21.157 --> 00:02:37.828 It is crazy to think I mean, and there are, you know, there are, there are probably people who don't know, uh, you know, aaron judge, or, or juan soto, or any of the other big names out there, but uh, the fact that smalls doesn't know, babe ruth that. 00:02:37.927 --> 00:02:41.174 That was pretty yeah fascinating. 00:02:41.234 --> 00:02:58.560 Like I don't know the people that, the other people that you named, but I do know who babe ruth is, okay, and and like lou gehrig, and like I know some of like some of the oldies, but yeah, like these new guys, bro, you could throw a name out at me and be like, oh, is that my neighbor down the street? 00:02:58.941 --> 00:02:59.501 I don't think so. 00:02:59.501 --> 00:03:03.406 But uh, so uh to. 00:03:03.406 --> 00:03:10.274 You know, chime into uh rich's erin judge juan soto discussion um. 00:03:10.274 --> 00:03:19.437 Erin judge is a current yankee player who I think hit the home run record for a single season a couple years back. 00:03:19.437 --> 00:03:22.168 Right, it was like 62 home runs in a single season. 00:03:22.207 --> 00:03:26.400 He broke, uh, he broke the yankees roger maris's, uh, original. 00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:28.384 Well, the it's a little bit. 00:03:28.384 --> 00:03:30.229 If you look at the numbers it's a little. 00:03:30.229 --> 00:03:39.843 I think that judge legitimately almost did it or tied it and then overtook it because they used to play 154 games. 00:03:40.284 --> 00:03:44.752 So oh, so by by technicality he's, they're playing. 00:03:44.752 --> 00:03:48.643 The current yankees are playing more games, but yeah, it's I. 00:03:49.024 --> 00:03:50.286 I I looked up the stats. 00:03:50.286 --> 00:04:08.302 Uh, I actually did, because it was interesting that, like, even when the guy who broke the record before before judge, he broke it and people debated whether it was legitimate because the games had increased actually as well when he started playing, when he was playing. 00:04:08.423 --> 00:04:28.149 So it's kind of like you know boxing isn't up to 12 rounds anymore, or something like that so it's one of those things that the rules of the games are different, but and and juan soto is a former yankee, now a met player, probably your favorite player right, you'd say he's definitely got a lot of personality wait, hold on anthony. 00:04:28.170 --> 00:04:28.651 You gotta know. 00:04:28.651 --> 00:04:40.384 Shohei otani, for example, right, he don't know sure I don't know anybody shohei's literally like like you're, you're speaking chinese to me, okay no, he's japanese. 00:04:40.425 --> 00:04:46.615 And even even if I know more chinese than I do baseball players um, okay, hold on. 00:04:46.754 --> 00:04:50.987 So, uh, I have a little shohei otani story. 00:04:50.987 --> 00:04:53.370 Um, I didn't know him. 00:04:53.370 --> 00:04:54.892 I knew of him. 00:04:54.892 --> 00:04:56.860 I had never seen him like play or whatever. 00:04:56.860 --> 00:04:59.687 I just somehow never caught those those games. 00:04:59.927 --> 00:05:03.922 But, um, when he was with the what is it? 00:05:03.922 --> 00:05:04.386 The anaheim angels? 00:05:04.386 --> 00:05:04.507 Right? 00:05:04.507 --> 00:05:05.839 Yeah, he was with the anaheim Angels, right? 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:14.740 Yeah, he was with the Anaheim Angels a couple years back and I was in Anaheim and we went to go see a Yankees game at a different stadium. 00:05:14.740 --> 00:05:16.848 So you know, we're rooting for Yankees, blah, blah, blah. 00:05:16.848 --> 00:05:21.151 I immediately clocked that this was a fantastic player. 00:05:21.151 --> 00:05:33.708 Like, I didn't know too much about this guy, but I started rooting for the other team just because, like, not because they were winning, but because, like that was like skill being demonstrated and I was just like that is really cool. 00:05:33.708 --> 00:05:37.221 Um, so, anyway, that's the kind of baseball fan I am not. 00:05:37.221 --> 00:05:40.086 I don't follow, uh, whoever's winning or whatever. 00:05:40.086 --> 00:05:46.387 I follow sportsmanship and you know, well done plays and stuff like that. 00:05:46.387 --> 00:05:48.041 That's that's what I'm here for. 00:05:48.041 --> 00:05:49.925 But even then, you know way more than I do. 00:05:49.925 --> 00:05:52.190 Yeah, I, I live in new york. 00:05:52.190 --> 00:05:53.761 It comes with the territory. 00:05:53.980 --> 00:05:58.732 Yeah, man, like you know I can tell you soccer stuff, but I can't tell you baseball. 00:05:58.732 --> 00:06:06.608 Yeah, I don't know, I don't know much about soccer I even I mean honestly, I know more football stuff and like I don't even really watch football like that. 00:06:06.980 --> 00:06:19.605 All right, guys, before we get too bogged down in sports stats and all that, let's talk a little bit about what we've been up to for the past two weeks, because we've been away for a week my fault, guys I was on vacation again. 00:06:19.605 --> 00:06:21.747 I just can't stay in my house. 00:06:21.747 --> 00:06:25.110 Anyway, let's start with you, anthony. 00:06:25.110 --> 00:06:26.726 What have you been up to? 00:06:26.726 --> 00:06:28.444 I feel like I haven't seen you in ages. 00:06:28.665 --> 00:06:30.329 I know, man, it's been ages. 00:06:30.329 --> 00:06:35.048 You know, after our you know 16 taco debacle. 00:06:35.730 --> 00:06:37.946 Yeah, oh my gosh, I don't think we told Rich about that. 00:06:37.946 --> 00:06:47.326 Did we tell you that we, like we went to a place called Hole in the Wall in South Florida and Tuesdays they have $1 tacos. 00:06:47.326 --> 00:06:51.670 So you get a bunch of tacos for nothing. 00:06:51.670 --> 00:06:58.255 I was just like you want to just get, we'll get two of each of the. 00:06:58.255 --> 00:07:05.165 It was like four different types of tacos and I told the lady we'll get two each and I didn't't really catch what she said, like two each for each of you. 00:07:05.165 --> 00:07:14.468 And so, yeah, she, she loaded like eight tacos for each of us and you know, we we ate ourselves sick, but that was fun, it was a good time yeah, we took. 00:07:14.608 --> 00:07:16.033 We took those tacos up, man. 00:07:16.033 --> 00:07:18.283 So I've been watching. 00:07:18.283 --> 00:07:35.639 I've been watching a couple shows actually, uh, one of which, uh, was a couple weeks ago the second season of the last of us came out and that I'm a I'm a fan of the video game series and I was pretty blown away by that first season. 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:40.591 So I knew, coming into the second season, it was going to be a little bit. 00:07:40.591 --> 00:07:47.430 It was going to be a little controversial, because when the game came out it was pretty controversial, especially with some of the stuff that happens. 00:07:47.430 --> 00:07:58.569 And but I mean, to be honest, like so far I've been enjoying it because they've been hitting like the beats and I know some of the some of the issues are like with the casting. 00:07:59.071 --> 00:08:16.870 The first season people had issues with the casting of ellie and they, you know, we kind of like accepted her, like you know Bella Ramsey's from Game of Thrones and I mean she has like the mannerisms and like the personality down which is like important to me and she looks close enough, you know. 00:08:17.432 --> 00:08:29.648 So it's not like they they're taking somebody that looks completely different, it's somebody that looks similarly enough and then, like the attitude or the, the personality, kind of like takes the rest of the way. 00:08:29.648 --> 00:08:53.552 And it's the same thing with another big character and this season is uh, abby, and so, like in the game she's like really, really jacked, but in the show she's like pretty, like skinny, but the actress that's portraying her looks close enough, I guess, like at least like feature wise, and she kind of has like a bit of the personality down. 00:08:53.552 --> 00:09:11.032 So for me, as, as long as like they hit the beats and like some of the, the deviations or adding, or anything that they add to it, kind of helps enhance the, the experience, rather than trying to completely change it, then then I'm I'm all for it, you know. 00:09:11.032 --> 00:09:12.624 So I mean, I've been enjoying it so far. 00:09:12.624 --> 00:09:20.270 I think that it's been pretty good, you know season two's been shocking a bunch of people yeah, oh yeah, absolutely especially after the last episode. 00:09:20.611 --> 00:09:33.849 But I knew that that was coming, because there's a whole like group of people that don't know what's happening unless, like they, you know somebody who's played the game or if they've watched the game, you know, or decide to play it after the first season. 00:09:33.849 --> 00:09:35.394 But yeah, no, it's. 00:09:35.394 --> 00:09:42.830 It's definitely like shocked some people and also I have been watching an anime. 00:09:42.830 --> 00:09:52.285 It's also on max and it's called lazarus and it's made by the same creator of cowboy bebop sick. 00:09:52.285 --> 00:09:55.150 Yeah, so it's pretty much of like this. 00:09:55.150 --> 00:09:55.631 Is it newer? 00:09:55.631 --> 00:09:56.874 Yeah, it's new. 00:09:56.874 --> 00:10:00.346 I think there's only like three, maybe four episodes out. 00:10:00.346 --> 00:10:01.408 Okay, so it's so. 00:10:01.408 --> 00:10:02.912 Yeah, it's it's new. 00:10:03.312 --> 00:10:24.330 But yeah, it's pretty much about like this ragtag team called lazarus and they're looking for this doctor that had created this um, kind of like miracle painkiller that would like just get rid of everything, and people are like using it for everything you know, like for actual pain, for like emotional pain, for they're using it in drugs and all that stuff. 00:10:24.330 --> 00:10:44.970 And then like news came out that after like I, like everybody that's used it, like they have this much time left before they die and so like the show kind of like picks it up where they have like a month to like find this guy and I guess like try to figure things out, and so it's. 00:10:44.970 --> 00:10:46.400 It's been interesting so far. 00:10:46.780 --> 00:10:57.772 I've been enjoying it's a cool concept yeah but, but yeah anything else but yeah, no, mostly, and then, like you know, hanging out with you when you came down, and that was fun, that's always fun. 00:10:57.772 --> 00:11:10.453 When, when, uh, when dakota shows up, yeah, when dakota shows up, and you know we tear it up, you know, especially with tacos we tore down eight tacos I was. 00:11:10.453 --> 00:11:20.130 I was like knocked out that night, like tacos, or tacos are about to like come back out, oh my gosh. 00:11:20.130 --> 00:11:24.048 But yeah, man, no, but yeah, other than that and the lady. 00:11:24.169 --> 00:11:24.934 The lady came back. 00:11:24.934 --> 00:11:26.041 She asked if we wanted more. 00:11:26.041 --> 00:11:27.663 I was like no, no, we were good. 00:11:27.663 --> 00:11:31.293 Yeah, yeah, we had a couple beers and tacos and we were out. 00:11:32.361 --> 00:11:35.527 But yeah, uh, how about you, dakota?

00:14:52.071 --> 00:14:59.605 Basically, like, if you look at the like the rotten tomato scores, the metacritic scores like this season, because you know, critics have reviewed the, the full season. 00:14:59.605 --> 00:15:11.470 They've seen the full season at this point, this season is the most, or the the highest reviewed season of television that has come out so far over these past four months this year anyway. 00:15:11.470 --> 00:15:14.022 But yeah, so it's, it's just crazy good. 00:15:14.081 --> 00:15:15.846 It's crazy good tv and I can't believe it exists. 00:15:15.846 --> 00:15:27.062 And um, yeah, I'm gonna be sad when it's over because they're doing three episode chunks, which is great because, uh, it does make sense that they're like showing every arc of what's going on um each week. 00:15:27.062 --> 00:15:30.610 But I'm gonna be sad when it's over because that's that's it. 00:15:30.610 --> 00:15:36.474 It'll basically catch up to rogue one and we know what happens from there yeah, yeah, pretty much, yeah, they. 00:15:37.297 --> 00:15:50.065 I remember showing you was that last last week that yeah, they had shifted from like that initial idea of like doing five seasons down to, like you know what we could do it in two. 00:15:50.405 --> 00:15:52.090 So yeah, but yeah it's. 00:15:52.289 --> 00:15:58.494 It's crazy because it is some of our best like star wars content and I agree with you. 00:15:58.494 --> 00:15:59.616 This is the. 00:15:59.616 --> 00:16:08.544 These are characters that we never really asked for, but like they gave it to us anyway and it's just oddly really good like it, just you know. 00:16:08.544 --> 00:16:13.763 And but speaking of that, like now while we're on topic, that is going to be so. 00:16:13.763 --> 00:16:18.471 Season one of andor is going to be our next two episodes. 00:16:18.471 --> 00:16:22.265 We're going to break it up into to two, two parts. 00:16:22.265 --> 00:16:26.254 I mean that that that's definitely a show that we have to break down in two parts. 00:16:28.004 --> 00:16:29.349 We can't do a one and done. 00:16:31.062 --> 00:16:32.827 We have to give it the same respect. 00:16:32.827 --> 00:16:38.327 We did that with Skeleton Crew, so we 100% have to do that with Andor. 00:16:38.808 --> 00:16:51.528 Yep, yeah, so I'm excited to cover that and, honestly, by the the time we could probably go straight through andor season one and andor season two, like in four episodes. 00:16:51.909 --> 00:17:05.945 If we decide to do that, we could, we could take a break after the first season, of course but yeah, I would say, give people kind of some time to like catch up because it is fresh and new, yeah, um yeah, so that's what we're going to be covering next week for episode 118 and 119. 00:17:05.965 --> 00:17:15.628 So 118 is going to be the first six episodes of season one of andor, and the second, or 119, will be the last six episodes of the first season. 00:17:15.628 --> 00:17:19.381 So we're going to do two arcs each and, yeah, that'll be good. 00:17:19.381 --> 00:17:21.926 Yep rich, let's send it over to you. 00:17:21.926 --> 00:17:22.769 What have you been up?

00:24:40.443 --> 00:24:44.092 this is that wiffle ball movie, right, wiffle ball yeah, it's. 00:24:44.192 --> 00:24:47.759 It's the game that never ends in like some guy's back backyard. 00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:49.583 Yeah, all right. 00:24:49.583 --> 00:24:56.034 So this is the first time I've seen this since I was I don't know. 00:24:56.034 --> 00:24:58.664 It must have been like summer camp that they played this. 00:24:58.664 --> 00:24:59.487 It wouldn't. 00:24:59.487 --> 00:25:03.362 It wasn't a movie that I would have ever like willingly put on. 00:25:03.362 --> 00:25:04.844 It was never like in my wheelhouse. 00:25:04.844 --> 00:25:10.010 It was, you know, just something that was around during my childhood and I think it was even. 00:25:10.010 --> 00:25:15.742 It predated me a little bit, because this, this was a 93 movie. 00:25:15.742 --> 00:25:16.925 I was born in 91. 00:25:16.925 --> 00:25:23.265 So by the time I was old enough to really appreciate it, it had probably cycled out a little bit. 00:25:23.265 --> 00:25:26.973 Anthony, you're probably in the same boat as me cycled out a little bit. 00:25:26.993 --> 00:25:32.750 Anthony, you're probably in the same boat as me, yeah, well, I mean absolutely, but this is a movie that I had seen a handful of times as a kid. 00:25:32.750 --> 00:25:43.906 I've said it a couple times, I'm not really somebody that sits down to watch baseball, but this is one of those movies that has been around. 00:25:43.906 --> 00:25:50.246 I've watched it as a kid, I've I watched it, you know, again like as I got. 00:25:50.246 --> 00:25:57.930 I've seen it like a handful of times, like oh, over the years and you know I definitely do like appreciate it. 00:25:57.930 --> 00:25:59.733 It's it's for me. 00:25:59.733 --> 00:26:13.948 It's not, you know I, I know that like baseball's the backdrop, but what gets me is like this group of friends and kind of like the like coming of age story that they have going on and dude, it's got my boy, james Earl Jones, in it. 00:26:13.968 --> 00:26:14.549 Come on now. 00:26:14.549 --> 00:26:17.188 I totally forgot he was in that movie. 00:26:17.188 --> 00:26:21.152 So like when he showed up at the end I was like, oh yeah. 00:26:21.152 --> 00:26:24.369 But you know, when I was a kid, I didn't know who James Earl Jones was. 00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:33.461 You know, he kind of sounded like Mufasa. 00:26:33.461 --> 00:26:33.803 When I was a kid. 00:26:33.803 --> 00:26:34.585 I didn't know who james r jones was. 00:26:34.585 --> 00:26:35.788 You know, he kind of sounded like mufasa when I was a kid. 00:26:35.788 --> 00:26:36.830 But, yeah, rich, when was the last time you saw this? 00:26:36.830 --> 00:26:38.194 So it's been a while since I've seen it, but it had, it had to. 00:26:38.214 --> 00:26:39.538 It was pretty regular viewing, I mean my friends and I. 00:26:39.538 --> 00:26:40.760 So when this came out I was 11. 00:26:40.760 --> 00:26:43.465 Uh, this, okay, so it's perfect age. 00:26:43.465 --> 00:26:44.166 Yeah, I, I don't. 00:26:44.166 --> 00:26:49.154 It's hard for me even to pull this apart because, yeah, I mean I'm 11. 00:26:49.154 --> 00:26:53.880 You're putting me in about sixth grade, right? 00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:59.031 So the thing is, I lived a couple blocks away from the park. 00:26:59.031 --> 00:27:09.760 We would get a bunch of kids together, wasn't a bunch of us, me and a friend. 00:27:09.760 --> 00:27:19.851 We found this spot next to the school build, the public school building near the basketball courts that had a fence that essentially could form our catcher backstop and allowed us to like we. 00:27:19.851 --> 00:27:21.234 You know, we'd have rules. 00:27:21.234 --> 00:27:23.863 If you hit the ball on the stairs, it was a triple. 00:27:23.863 --> 00:27:26.670 If you hit over on the orange above the window, it was a. 00:27:26.670 --> 00:27:42.362 So we basically made rules to make up for the fact that we didn't have fielders and it was just us playing a one-on-one and I mean, I, I so did I watch sandlot and then say, hey, let's go to the park, or did, were we doing that? 00:27:42.442 --> 00:27:44.606 and sandlot came out and we were like, oh, that's great. 00:27:44.606 --> 00:28:00.423 I can't separate those two, to be honest, but it's it's right around the same time when this movie came out, I was out gathering as many people as I could in the neighborhood to try to go play baseball, so this came out at the perfect time for me. 00:28:00.423 --> 00:28:09.173 In my life I saw it a bunch of times and I think the only reason I didn't watch it more was because we wanted to watch, like the adult baseball movies, you know. 00:28:09.173 --> 00:28:11.260 So we're like, oh, we're gonna watch major league. 00:28:11.260 --> 00:28:12.584 It's rated r, you know. 00:28:12.584 --> 00:28:19.829 And we, we liked that so much and felt like we were breaking the rules that that one kind of replaced sandlot. 00:28:20.151 --> 00:28:24.990 Okay, but this was always close to your heart just because it kind of mirrored your own childhood. 00:28:25.492 --> 00:28:28.949 That's pretty cool yeah, other than you know, like I didn't grow up in the 50s. 00:28:28.949 --> 00:28:32.643 Uh, just just what you want to clarify for the audience that's good to know. 00:28:33.124 --> 00:28:34.708 Uh, I mean I wouldn't have guessed with. 00:28:34.748 --> 00:28:38.446 You know the amount of times that you're like oh, I'm ancient, you know? 00:28:38.487 --> 00:28:44.503 I thought you were born in 1945 man, I mean I wasn't, you know, I wasn't the crowd during the filming of I love Lucy. 00:28:44.503 --> 00:28:53.282 Was it no, no, no I was like wait what I was like, how long did I Love? 00:28:54.025 --> 00:28:54.185 Lucy run. 00:28:54.205 --> 00:28:55.490 Oh, that's funny, yeah. 00:28:58.119 --> 00:29:04.669 So let's talk about some of the characters, some of the motivations of said characters and the journey that they go on. 00:29:04.669 --> 00:29:20.769 Let's start with, obviously, smalls, who moves into this neighborhood in the early 60s and is immediately just almost incapable of getting friends because he just doesn't know what he's doing. 00:29:20.769 --> 00:29:24.611 He likes the idea of playing baseball. 00:29:24.611 --> 00:29:25.920 He wants to learn how to play catch. 00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:33.328 He's always asking his, his stepdad, to teach him catch and he just doesn't get it. 00:29:33.328 --> 00:29:37.811 Like he did, something isn't clicking for him until he meets this group of kids. 00:29:37.811 --> 00:29:40.243 What do you guys think of smalls at this? 00:29:40.324 --> 00:29:54.826 point in the movie Small smalls like his, his just like kind of social interactions and just like his just ability to do things, almost makes it seem like he was born yesterday, like it's like, dude, what's happening? 00:29:54.826 --> 00:29:57.231 That's a good point. 00:29:57.231 --> 00:29:58.253 Are you a robot? 00:29:58.253 --> 00:29:58.480 Like? 00:29:58.480 --> 00:29:59.545 Are you a real person? 00:29:59.545 --> 00:30:00.528 Is this really happening? 00:30:00.940 --> 00:30:05.612 He does, kind of you know, act like Haley Joel Osment in AI. 00:30:08.186 --> 00:30:13.201 Yeah right, oh my gosh but yeah, it's like dude, what like you know? 00:30:13.201 --> 00:30:17.369 Like what do you need like a software upgrade, like what's going on? 00:30:17.369 --> 00:30:29.289 But I mean he, he is like the, pretty much like the main character and most of it is or the, the movie is like narrated by like an older version of him a few times. 00:30:29.431 --> 00:30:37.782 A few times it confused me the narration because it would be like narrating him but focused on his, his friend, I think benny. 00:30:37.844 --> 00:30:50.820 Benny was the name of the friend yeah, yeah, benny rodriguez, the like, other kind of like main character yeah, the, the, the guy who helps him become who he eventually becomes, yeah, um, yeah, I. 00:30:50.901 --> 00:31:03.896 I really liked, uh, their interactions because he, benny, is the older of the sandlot kids, of the neighborhood kids, and he doesn't ever hold that against anybody in the crew. 00:31:03.896 --> 00:31:14.884 He's actually a very like, kind-hearted person because I don't think there's ever a scene where he does something selfish or something belittling to the other players or characters. 00:31:14.884 --> 00:31:31.088 Rather, and he really takes Smalls under his wing where the other seven kids are actively bullying this guy who doesn't know what he's doing, can't throw a ball, can't catch anything, doesn't know what he's doing, can't throw a ball, can't catch anything, doesn't understand where center left field is. 00:31:31.088 --> 00:31:32.840 You know he doesn't know anything. 00:31:32.840 --> 00:31:33.442 He doesn't. 00:31:33.442 --> 00:31:35.769 He thinks babe ruth is a, is a hot girl. 00:31:35.769 --> 00:31:41.385 His, his dad knew, uh, I love that. 00:31:41.385 --> 00:31:58.046 You know they had all these nicknames for babe ruth and he's with them every day, but somehow, like by the end of the movie he still doesn't get like who babe ruth is, who the great bambino is that part is to me the weirdest. 00:31:58.586 --> 00:32:00.730 I don't he spends enough. 00:32:00.910 --> 00:32:28.383 Okay, we have to accept that there's a good, there's a passage of days and time, right, yeah, and I don't know Bill's schedule, all right, I don't know how often he's away on business, but I just don't understand, because it's like right after the first day of him being like a normal boy, like his Pinocchio moment where Benny helps him and gives him a glove and everything, and, you know, gives him a glove and everything. 00:32:28.403 --> 00:32:44.612 Like I'm surprised that, like, we don't get a scene at a dare room table where he's like hey, bill, I'm playing the baseballs that you like, and bill goes oh, the baseballs, I got a baseball signed by you know this, the sultan of swing, you know and and goes and shows him like that's a good point, yeah, it's. 00:32:44.612 --> 00:33:04.671 It's just so weird that this giant life change happens, right, like he goes from his mom being like I'm scared that you're going to kill yourself because of your erector sets, and now he has this new thing in his life, because it doesn't bother me that he doesn't know at first, it bothers me at the end, when he still doesn't know who it is. 00:33:05.220 --> 00:33:07.595 Yeah, it just kind of goes to show oh sorry end when he still doesn't know who it is. 00:33:07.595 --> 00:33:08.382 Yeah, it just kind of goes to show oh sorry, um. 00:33:08.382 --> 00:33:16.540 It kind of just goes to show how, like out of touch the father or the stepdad is clearly doesn't want to help this kid. 00:33:16.540 --> 00:33:17.844 You know, play catch. 00:33:17.844 --> 00:33:18.506 I mean he doesn't. 00:33:19.106 --> 00:33:33.655 I think he does want to be in the kid's life, but he's completely self-absorbed in in his, his career and his job and is always putting the kids second place until his mother basically like coerces him, like no, you're going to do this now. 00:33:33.655 --> 00:33:49.134 And what I will say is that the mom I think the mom knows that like he is playing with his friends, playing baseball, like he's constantly telling mom, I'm going to go play a game or I'm going out with my friends, like he's constantly telling mom, I'm going to go play a game or I'm going out with my friends, so he seems to have a good relationship with his mom. 00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:53.262 And the mom most likely knows that he's playing baseball. 00:33:53.262 --> 00:33:59.965 Do you think that it was that his first dad, Indiana Jones, was never around to play catch with him and that's why he doesn't know how to play catch? 00:34:00.548 --> 00:34:03.407 Wait, what you threw me with Indiana Jones. 00:34:03.407 --> 00:34:05.339 Well, we know his father. 00:34:05.339 --> 00:34:06.644 I'm trying to like make that connection. 00:34:06.684 --> 00:34:10.469 Father's missing his mother in the movie is played by the uh the actress. 00:34:10.469 --> 00:34:11.152 Uh, who's? 00:34:11.152 --> 00:34:22.224 Oh, marianne, oh, I was wondering, so now, maybe this is like you know, indy's baby that he had with the young girl and, uh, boom, sandlot I forgot, I totally forgot that that's. 00:34:23.126 --> 00:34:24.009 I love the casting. 00:34:24.489 --> 00:34:31.204 I just that's kind of my way of just uh like, I liked, uh, I think, leary as a kind of deadbeatish. 00:34:31.204 --> 00:34:34.710 Uh, stepdad uh works really well. 00:34:34.710 --> 00:34:35.913 I mean I just buy it. 00:34:35.913 --> 00:34:40.411 I mean he, he plays like a you know jerky character so well that I think it was great. 00:34:40.411 --> 00:34:51.184 I I thought, uh, she really kind of looks like a 1960s mom, so it she does you know I bought it and it was I, I don't know for me, I know it's. 00:34:51.525 --> 00:34:54.115 I know anthony you were saying that, like he doesn't know anything. 00:34:54.115 --> 00:34:56.744 But we were talking about this just before the show started. 00:34:56.744 --> 00:35:08.967 Like it's like, as I was starting to watch sandlot, like I've been wanting my son, I we've kind of had the conversation in the house like the kids are on the block, why aren't you outside, like go play with them, you know. 00:35:08.967 --> 00:35:17.454 And it's almost like I went to go watch the movie and suddenly he's like dad, I'm going to go play wiffle ball with some of the guys in the backyard. 00:35:17.454 --> 00:35:20.610 And I was like yes, yes, go, go, go, go. 00:35:20.610 --> 00:35:23.905 You know, like he just knows not to take my Doc Gooden. 00:35:23.905 --> 00:35:31.208 He's like Dad, you have this baseball signed by your dentist, doc Gooden, and I'm like what are you talking about?
