We Recommend: A Movie Podcast
Super Troopers
Remember that first time you watched Super Troopers? That magical moment when Officer Thorny and Rabbit pulled over those college stoners and you realized this wasn't your typical cop comedy? Twenty years later, the Broken Lizard team's masterpiece still delivers belly laughs that defy aging.
What makes Super Troopers endure when so many early-2000s comedies have faded into obscurity? Perhaps it's the perfect balance of absurdist pranks and genuine heart. From the legendary "meow game" with Jim Gaffigan to the surprisingly wholesome relationship between Foster and Ursula, the film manages to be both outrageously funny and unexpectedly sweet. The chemistry between the troopers feels authentic because it is—these guys were friends making each other laugh, and we got to come along for the ride.
So give us a listen!

Hello and welcome to the we Recommend podcast, a movie podcast, where every week we recommend a movie for you to watch. Then come back here and listen to us discuss. I'm Jesse, I'm Jason. Not so funny meow, is it?
Speaker 2:Because this week we recommend Super Troopers, troopers have you ever had an experience with a super trooper?
Speaker 1:uh, no, I haven't. Well, I mean I with a state trooper, yeah, highway, not even like a mild trooper no, they all been pretty uh low level trooping just professional, mostly, yeah, mostly, or uh, weirdly aggressive for some reason. They all have been pretty. Low-level trooping Just professional, mostly, yeah, mostly, or weirdly aggressive for some reason.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So yeah, Would you rather the cops act like this or not act like this?
Speaker 2:I assume that it would be problematic.
Speaker 1:I could not watch this without being like dude, this is fucked up. But here's the thing. The whole time I was like, well, if y'all get to act like this, y'all should at least let most of these people go right. Like, if you do the meow bit with someone, they get to go. It's just a fun time before you get a ticket. Or even though like especially the people at a ticket, or even though like especially the like people at the beginning, even though, like you know, they have drugs and mushrooms or whatever, but like they definitely should have been, let go, just be like look, don't be on the road with drugs again. We just messed with you because we knew you're druggies. But like because, if they, I would be like all right, I want a lawyer, I'm going to tell them everything you did, oh yeah. And they'd be like, oh yeah, that probably wouldn't work.
Speaker 2:No, I wonder when Vermont, when weed became legal in Vermont? Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I have to look that up real quick. But yeah, I was just like the whole time. I was like, oh, this would have been hilarious in the 2000s.
Speaker 2:In 2018. So this movie was in 2001.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah 17 years before that. Yeah, they definitely were probably super aggressive.
Speaker 2:The opening bit is the funniest shit in the goddamn world it really is.
Speaker 1:It is kind of the best part of the whole movie that the meow bit is really good too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it is think of of any movie, though I think this is the funniest opening yeah, really I think.
Speaker 1:So this is my this is my number one. It's just them driving off, appearing behind them driving off again this is I would flip my shit if this was happening to me.
Speaker 2:I'd be like I don't know, do I just get on the?
Speaker 1:ground and put my hands behind my head, Like what do I do in this situation? What I do like about them is how? How on like they don't look scary at all as cops Except for Farva, he definitely would be a little scary he's the one that looks most like a cop.
Speaker 2:Which is why.
Speaker 1:I think they make him the worst cop out of all of them, most aggressive.
Speaker 2:But like if you look at movies like Beer Fest, when Hefferman I think his name is John Hefferman- yeah. He doesn't look mean at all in that one, it's just because he's wearing like a polo, yeah, so I think it just has a lot to do with what he's wearing.
Speaker 1:I barely even remember him in Club Dread Like I remember everybody especially he's like a Zen master in Club Dread. Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:He gives women orgasms, yeah, touching them on the face.
Speaker 1:I like mainly remember. Oh God, here we go. I like mainly remember. Oh God, here we go. I'm going to try to say the name. We looked it up for J Chunder, chandra Shakar, chandra Shakar. We're going to call him J, I remember him from it, and Mac Mac. It's either between Thorny and Mac as my two favorites in the movie. I think Mac is just fucking wild. Yeah, he's great, great when he goes to attack far right.
Speaker 2:He just flies past the car. Did you ever watch? Uh, salute your shorts I don't think I did, because john hefferman was in that as a child actor I used to love that show.
Speaker 1:That's how you got famous, your shorts.
Speaker 2:well, he was just kind of like the fat idiot. Yeah, I feel like he gets that role quite a bit.
Speaker 1:Oh wait, I said like I thought Jay or Mac or Thorny and Mac were my favorite. No, my favorite was Brian Cox. Yeah, he's kind of the funniest one in it. I love how they always have them like set up in front of like a deer or something, so it always has antlers behind them.
Speaker 2:Such a good bit that was so funny, that was so good.
Speaker 1:It's like when he does his Iris accent, it's great, which I have actually some facts about old Coxie, old Coxie. So Brian Cox asked Broken Lizard if he could be in this film Nice. So he's always like before this he was always playing like bad guys, like he plays Hannibal Lecter, I think, in one movie. Plays like Nazis, pedophiles, like you know, because he's a scary guy. He has that scary guy vibe, so he, so he's attempting to change his image. Yeah, that's nice.
Speaker 2:So jay in a in a interview guys, look, I love being a pedophile, yeah but I want to be a funny pedophile to expand my range.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but so jay said in an interview he actually called us he. He's always playing parts like pedophiles and nazi generals and nasty people and he's a big jerry lewis fan and thinks he got he's got that bone in him. He's been looking for a comedy to do and he kept contacting us and contacting us and he turned out to be amazing hell yeah, he did agreed.
Speaker 2:He's so chill, like with everybody. He's so patient with his idiot.
Speaker 1:I know it's like he always just want them to like dude, you need to like. Go full, brian Cox, on these guys here. Like you guys are losing your business, yeah, just bring them along with everything you do. I bet people, I mean it sucks like if you get pulled over by this group, but like that's got to be, like people probably drive like crazy on that interstate. It'd be like, look, I don't know, they're probably sleeping or masturbating.
Speaker 2:No, like Vermont is beautiful, but there's not a lot going on there, so I can see why they would get bored, yeah, and start doing stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, that's like a rich. A rich like, yeah, the cost of living up there is insane.
Speaker 2:A rich state Homes. Yeah, the cost of living up there is insane at homes. The one that I have would be like a million and a half dollars, jesus Christ, because we were thinking about moving up there because my brother in law lives up there and you're like Jesse move with us. They legalize weed yeah, that's not a good reason to move somewhere if it can't afford it are we not sure that's a good reason? I think there's a lot more better reasons to move out of this current state. Yeah.
Speaker 1:So the beginning of the opening scene is based on a true story. No shit. So I guess that's awesome. I guess, like this happened to them, or no. Some friends of the broken lizard were out to Canada for a weekend of strip clubs, drinking and getting high. As they were going to the border, they were stuck in a long line of cars near the border. Their car was searched by patrol officers and their marijuana was discovered, but the cops didn't find their shrooms enough to get at least 10 people buzzed, apparently. So while the agents were distracted, one of the dudes ate the entire bag right then and there the drugs took full effect in lockup, as the stoners were being individually questioned. In the end one of the guys took the blame for the drugs before the cops interviewed their tripping friend. They were banned from Canada for one year, with the exception of the noble knight who took the fall. He was barred from the Great White North for seven years.
Speaker 2:Yeah, noble knight, he took the fall. He was barred from the great white north for seven years. Dang, yeah, that's rough. It's like come on canada. I was trying to, I was. It's amazing that that's I mean, that's the most likely to be true part out of this whole scenario. Yeah, I was trying to think which part was he talking about that really happened, was it? The guy ran out of a bar after he shot the cops like drove him to?
Speaker 1:mexico. That was a good bit too. I did like that because I was wondering. I was like, oh, I thought the the white guy at the beginning was going to be mac, but then whenever he pulled up, I was like, oh, that's right, I was. I surprisingly remembered a lot about this movie, even though I've only watched it like one time, like in the 2000s, like, oh, I actually remember this whole movie pretty well.
Speaker 2:That's the crazy thing about memory. Is that you? Mostly you remember how you feel about things?
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was memory talk with Jason, so one of the actor's mothers came up with the title actually. So I guess Miramax finally like picked up the film after like dropping it and then deciding to come back and do it. Jay recalls how his co-star's parents wasn't the biggest fan of Connecticut's Finest as they had recently been pulled over for speeding. So when, I guess, the co-star told her about doing the movie, he's like oh you're making a movie about the Super Troopers, huh.
Speaker 1:And that's how they came up with the title, and so this wasn't the end of his mother's involvement, though Along with her husband, she had a cameo appearance. They played the couple who Hefferman's character, farva, pulls over and calls chicken fucker. The best part of that is they had no idea what he was going to say when he walked up to the car.
Speaker 2:It's a good thing that his mom wasn't the uh supermodel, the german supermodel lady. Yeah, mom, put your top back on quick.
Speaker 1:Grab my mom's boobs quick, it'll be hilarious mom show off the show off the beaver for a second. Oh yeah, thirsty. Oh, another one. So that's actual syrup that the guys were chugging, jesus, yeah. So Eric's Blonsky to read it. It was indeed actually syrup they chugged for the famous scene. Originally the prop woman had iced tea in the bottles but it didn't have the glug, glug, glug, thick. Look when he chugged it.
Speaker 1:So Jay and I said we got to do the real thing, then went into a diabetic coma on a dark floor while everyone else enjoyed their lunch. So apparently they use the iced tea and like the wide shots where you couldn't really tell, yeah, but in the like close ups, like when a rabbit like just straight up chugs like the neck of the syrup and the one of them's gotta have diabetes, right, like um. And speaking of diabetes, brian cox had it. So whenever there's soap in the coffee, it's actually white chocolate. And when he takes uh, in the first take that they did, he took a bite out of it and like was like oh, is this actual chocolate? They're like, yeah, it's like I'm diabetic, oh, fuck.
Speaker 1:So they ended up putting sugar-free white chocolate in it, which is Good call, yeah, and there's really not too much more. So I'm just going to do just one more. Oh, actually I do have two. So whenever they do in the bulletproof cup scene, which is great, that is a good bit. The whenever they do in the bulletproof cup scene, which is great, that is a good bit. The scene was filmed outside an actual prison with Steve Lemme wearing just a cup off camera. There was the fence line of the prison and all the inmates were watching it and just shouting at him the entire time doing the bit. So good, I said there was more. Oh uh, for the last one. So the um.
Speaker 1:Whenever they have rabbit in the locker with all the shaving cream, so I guess it had menthol in it and they didn't know. And of course menthol like burns really bad after a while. So he they had to like take him across the street to where the fire department was and they didn't know. And of course menthol like burns really bad after a while. So they had to like take him across the street to where the fire department was and they had to hose him down. That was also a good bit. So I was like, oh shit, I forgot about that that does burn.
Speaker 2:Did you ever put gold bond on your balls?
Speaker 1:No, no, no, I don't really put a lot of things in my balls. It feels amazing.
Speaker 2:Don't put Bengay on your balls. That burns a lot.
Speaker 1:Really, what is?
Speaker 2:Bengay, I don't even actually know. It's like some kind of cream. Yeah, it's like muscle relaxation cream or something your balls are like whoa, your balls are straight up high up in there. I was going through puberty as a young pubescent boy and my balls were itching so bad. I was like what can I do to alleviate this? I found this tube it says can alleviate itching, burning, you know, swelling. I was like hell, yeah, let's go. And I was just like screaming Mom, wow. I was just like screaming Wow.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Luckily I've never had to deal with anything like awkward like that with my parents, so really really glad that didn't happen All right, bro, I guess we can hop into the film I got to ask. So like how?
Speaker 2:was anything, my parents were there. Oh, were they not? Nope, okay, good, probably wouldn't happen if they were.
Speaker 1:Oh well, I just assumed, like you know I don't know how young young you are, so I just assumed you were like in high school or something I had a lot of time to myself, a lot of time to myself, a lot of time to put things on my balls apparently made a lot of mistakes yeah, probably needed a little bit of supervision. So before we hop into the plot when was the last time you actually watched this?
Speaker 2:Probably high school or college or something. Did you think it held up? Yeah, really I think. I mean, the picture quality is not too great.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I just meant like comedy wise, I think so I was still laugh pretty hard yeah I found myself only sometimes chuckling. I was like wow, I was because I was kind of pumped to watch.
Speaker 2:I was like let's go, super troopers, been so long and I was like huh I did notice a lot, a lot of different things to be funny than younger me did most definitely.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I actually kind of enjoyed more like the Ursula and Foster stuff more than I feel like. I felt like that was like a boring part when I was younger. But now in this one I was just like, oh, it's like dang, I just became a romantic.
Speaker 2:It's harder 10 times that day, yeah.
Speaker 1:And I also kind of like, really enjoyed the Grady and Captain stuff a lot more than. I felt like I did when I was younger I was like and maybe that's just because his succession and how much I love Brian Cox and uh, I forgot the actor's name who played Grady, but he's always great. He's always like a bad guy in a movie. It's perfect. He doesn, he does have the evil look and.
Speaker 2:I think, he's German, his name is like Von something.
Speaker 1:Oh, Daniel Von Bargen Von.
Speaker 2:Bargen.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was just like whenever I came out the end of it I mean I did laugh. I'm not going to say I didn't laugh at anything, but I was like dang. I don't remember the way I used to, but it's still a fun movie to watch. I really was just like because I watched it this morning and I was like man, this would have been great last night. Some Delta 8 or something. A little bit of wine in me, that would have been great. All right, bro, you ready to hop in the plot? Let's go. So we start off. Got some potheads in a car. They're just driving, having a good time, looking gross and all sweaty in their car. Car's completely filthy. It's awful.
Speaker 1:Dirty college students and then they notice that there's a cop car right next to them. So they're like the guy in the back. They're like, hey, eat this bag of weed. He's eating bag and all.
Speaker 2:I love what they're talking about, Like if you own beachfront property.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, do you own the water?
Speaker 2:Yeah, or the sand. What if there's a naked chick?
Speaker 1:on the beach. No, man, the water's all God's. It's God's water man. It's God's water man. That was a really good bit. That is true. You don't own the water. I don't think you can own the water, right? No, I didn't know. I don't think you can own the water right, no I didn't know.
Speaker 1:I didn't know Because I mean like what? If you want to put, like what if a part of your house is in the water Because they do have houses where, like, they're a little bit in the water Does that mean you'd own the water at that point?
Speaker 2:Totally and everything the light touches.
Speaker 1:The water like comes into your like property line and it goes out. Come back in mine. Every fish that comes up on sea, bert tries to steal it. Hey, bert, my fish. But yeah, so he eats the weed. Have you ever ate weed?
Speaker 2:I have Really I've been in this situation Really With a very tiny amount of weed Like.
Speaker 1:what did that do to your stomach?
Speaker 2:It was such a small amount that I don't know.
Speaker 1:You know, I don't really think it did anything it's like whenever, like the next time you pooped, was it like mr hanky and tally I rolled it up and smoked it, so oh, it's like dang dude. It tastes bad, but it feels good um, and then the guy in the back he eats like two huge shrooms, that big bag of shrooms, and then he has another pot thing the shrooms man and then he gets handed another giant bag of pot and he's like dude, I cannot do this, so they just throw it out the window.
Speaker 1:It's like why didn't you just throw everything out the window at that point?
Speaker 2:And all of the super troopers are just staring at them this whole time. Yeah, and he tries to like block them.
Speaker 1:Block them by just sitting up a little bit. Yeah, it's like dude, just put it under your seat at that point.
Speaker 2:Just act normal.
Speaker 1:Right, like why, I don't know, they can't just search your. Sorry, yeah. And then unless they bring like it's like, hold on, we're going to call a canine, but they have two cop cars, so I think you're safe. So cops immediately start playing with them Like they act like they're going to pull them over. Then they just drive off past them.
Speaker 2:They're like they're already like kind of pulled over, like oh, thank God and they're like kind of talking a little bit, and then they turn around and the cops they got behind them.
Speaker 1:It's like, how slow were they driving? No, they were stopped. Well, like it's like, did they like slowly reverse?
Speaker 2:or did they like turn?
Speaker 1:around I had to, and so they're right behind them, um, so they kind of question them, uh, just kind of making them feel terrible.
Speaker 2:Do you know how fast you were going?
Speaker 1:65. He's like no, you're going 63.
Speaker 2:But is it the speed limit of 65?
Speaker 1:65, yeah, and then he asks for the registration. They drop it and then when they come back up, they're gone. And then they're like, oh, thank God, fuck the cops. And then back up, get behind them, turn on the lights, pull over.
Speaker 2:I love how, when they run back to the car, they pull around the opposite side of them. Yeah.
Speaker 1:This is so stressful. Do you know why I pulled you over my favorite line. I pulled over, I can't pull over anymore. And then they find the weeds. And then the guy in the back starts freaking out. Suddenly a car flies by them. They're like shit and then cuts to them, having the three guys in the back of the cop car as they go to find them. They follow them and then you have we kind of cut to Foster because Farva's on the radio or dispatch, like calling Foster, and he's just like fishing and he's got a dummy in his car. And then like the car's driving past him and Foster's trying to get in his car, he's got the dummy hanging out the window, runs right into the dummy. That was a good bit. I did like that bit knocks his head off, yeah. And I did like that bit Knocks his head off, yeah. And then the guy driving stops at a diner and they run in to get him and it turns out it's their colleague back, oh they got him.
Speaker 2:I guess there's Awesome outfit. There's like some kind of game they play where they yeah, if they get away with it, they get 20 bucks or something like that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and with. Something we learned at this point is that the guy that was with Thorny, who is a J we're not going to say his actual name, his name is Rabbit. He's the rookie. I loved Rabbit in this. He's so genuine and great and he kind of was like Like the low key when they started doing like low key comedy, where it's just like a little off the mark, like response to something. That was when it was like so in my bag, which part are you talking about? There's just like a lot of things that like a rookie would say that was. He's just like trying to get along, but he's just like saying it small under his breath, that just like was cracking me up.
Speaker 1:I don't have it in my notes. So, and then they're just kind of like they come up with a prank for the potheads. So Mac pretends to shoot the cops in the building and runs out and goes back into the cop car and he tells the stoner guys, like let's go to Mexico and just starts doing donuts cut to the title super troopers.
Speaker 1:I know, and they still get in trouble. I feel like at that point you gotta let them go? I don't think they really got in trouble. Yeah, because they're partying a little later after that. Yeah, maybe they just kind of dropped them off at that point, just trying to scare them.
Speaker 2:I think Scare them straight, yeah, so Is this what they do in those scared straight camps?
Speaker 1:Yeah, probably so. Then we cut to Thorny and Rabbit. They're at the restaurant. They're chugging syrup. Looks like the rookie's going to win, but then Thorny, of course wins. God. That's awful, yeah, like I'm having a sugar rush just thinking about it. And then we see that there's another police department there where it's the actual police department, as in the super troopers are highway patrol, yeah, and they just immediately start having confrontations with them because the police department doesn't take them serious. And then Mac starts throwing like bottles of syrup at one guy.
Speaker 2:He's like sit down, he throws another one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then they start, they all start fighting, because every time they're together they all start fighting. And then Brian Cox comes in and breaks it up, you, and then Brian Cox comes in and breaks it up.
Speaker 2:You know how they get when they get the sugar or the syrup. Yeah, you get that syrup in their pants.
Speaker 1:So then we cut to them. They're having a meeting. We kind of learned that their numbers don't go up. They will be shut down as in. They're not, they're only making like. We learned that Foster only made like three tickets.
Speaker 2:He only gave three tickets for a month because he's been fishing.
Speaker 1:It's like dude. They give like three tickets an hour off our road down through there.
Speaker 2:The state troopers do. I'm always so careful.
Speaker 1:It's crazy, bro. Like I go to the dump, they have a car pulled over and, like the dumps, like five minutes away from my house. I come back, they, they have a car pulled over and, like the dumps, like five minutes away from my house. I come back, they have a different car pulled over. I'm like, give people a break out in these streets. They're working hard, man. Sheesh, they ain't gonna shut down. Um, we learned that farva is suspended. He's trying to do it. Uh, he wants to be a part of the games, right, because they always play games.
Speaker 1:The super troopers do, because he's an asshole, yeah, so his big idea is he gives a coffee and he puts soap in one of theirs and it's like it's not a good game.
Speaker 2:I love it with Brian Cox. He's like Farva you forgot the coffee and he points his gun at him.
Speaker 1:It's like get to work, you got to cap, and this is kind of a little bit of what I'm saying whenever they're like talking under their breath a lot Because, like the whole time Brian Cox is talking, you have Mac and Rabbit talking to each other. Just do it, eat the soap, take a bite of the soap. So then, like, brian Cox takes a bite and spits it on Mac, that's good and so, yeah, the point of that scene is like they just got to get their numbers up. Then we cut to Foster and mac. They're the two teams, they're the team and uh, that car, uh, they're at a traffic stop to play the meow game.
Speaker 1:I love it. It's jim gaffigan. Oh, yeah, yeah, um, so they essentially just keep going up to him. He's like because the record is no one's ever said meow 10 times. So he gets to him and he like every anytime he says meow or something like that, it's always meow. The Jim Gaffigan, who actually his name in the movie, is like Larry Johnson or whatever. It's a character he played on law and order, apparently.
Speaker 1:So it was a bit for that, and every time he says meow like, jim Gaffigan starts laughing and then Mac starts laughing on the other side of the car. It's so like, like he ends, jim Gaffigan starts laughing and then Mac starts laughing.
Speaker 2:on the other side of the car you just see his belly shaking.
Speaker 1:And so like he ends up giving them an actual ticket and it's like you can't give them a ticket if you do the game.
Speaker 2:But they weren't even the ones that pulled them over.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, that's right, because the local police pulled them over. How did they know how fast they were coming?
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly Like why did you give us man a it?
Speaker 1:It's like what did you even write down how fast, Like it's just put like five miles over, just so you say they could.
Speaker 2:Well, they do that anyway, Like just to give you a break sometimes.
Speaker 1:That's true.
Speaker 2:Which is kind of cool yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, luckily, the only times like I've actually been speeding, whenever I've been pulled over, has only been like two or three times, and the other times I've been pulled over it's only been like two or three times and the other time it's been pulled over and I was like I wasn't speeding.
Speaker 2:I don't know what you're talking about, but usually they just gave me a, gave me a warning. No, I've had guns pulled on me twice, really, just for speeding. Uh, because, well, to be fair, I was young and stupid and I got out of the car because I was like what do I do? I was panicking, I was like what do I do? Do I meet him on? I meet him outside? And so I was like I got out, he's like get back in the car and he pulled his gun.
Speaker 1:I was like you got it, man sorry, dude, I'm an antsy person, no problem. Yeah, don't ever get out of the car, bro. Yeah, I learned that lesson twice. That's insane. Your parents should have been around more what you did, it twice.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh my god but now I don't do it yeah, so yeah, and then eventually so, while they're doing the meow game, then he's like, oh, you only did nine, just yells at him meow, gotta get one more meow. Yeah, place should be shut down. This place definitely should be shut down. So then, place definitely should be shut down. So then we cut to like Farv and Rabbit. Farv is having Rabbit, I guess, clean his car or clean the police car, like they kind of just get in an argument, they like face to face with each other. Thorny comes up.
Speaker 2:You're going to set my country music award on fire, oh yeah, Because he does like this whole bit with a country music award great story, pharma yeah all because he's got a little bit grease on his hand it's so stupid. He's like you know what this is rookie, a shabby glove like lucky guess yeah, it's like what, what were we gonna roast him because he didn't know what it was.
Speaker 1:Yeah, wild that he should have been like just fire the guy because he didn't know what it was, yeah wild. He should have been like just fire the guy, Just get anybody else in this building other than. Farva.
Speaker 2:But I kind of think that they kind of know that it's they're pranking everyone. They're kind of just like can't get rid of this guy.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:We're not much better. Yeah, he's the worst.
Speaker 1:He can't even prank, can't be a cop and he can't be a prankster. Rabbit and Thorny, they go on a call, they get to call. It's like there's a dead girl in an RV, the police department already there and, like we see, that Was she wearing a dog collar. Yeah, it looked like it.
Speaker 2:And eating out of a dog bowl.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, and I guess there's some freaky stuff Kinky With a pig yeah, and we see that she has a tattoo of a monkey with his boner in a banana. Yeah, johnny the Chimp.
Speaker 2:Jerking off a banana, johnny.
Speaker 1:Chimpo, whatever they called it. It's kind of an awesome tattoo, and then the chimp jerking off Johnny Chimpo or whatever they called it and then they, like, they start hearing like noises from behind a door turns out it's a pig, it's an insane pig.
Speaker 2:Apparently pigs are crazy they do act wild, yeah, I mean, I think they make good pets apparently, but they stick, they get so big, yeah, and then you just eat them. Like what do you do? Yeah, you just eat the pig.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's bacon, ham, pulled pork.
Speaker 2:I know, but like it's your pet, what if you love the?
Speaker 1:pig. Most people don't raise them to be pets. Some people do, and then they just get big and they just hang, you can't eat it. I guess they just hang out with it, you know it's kind of the perfect pet most people get like slaughter it. That's true. It's like, dang, we can get another pig. It's like should we bring any food? It's like well, we do have a pig.
Speaker 2:I already got the cooler packs.
Speaker 1:Let's go.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's nothing but ham, bacon and pulled pork baby, let's go.
Speaker 1:We gonna get fat on this vacation. So Mac and Foster show up. They're all kind of arguing about who's going to get the RV and like who's going to get like the the case, essentially the jurisdiction. So the two departments start to fight. We also meet Ursula for the first time.
Speaker 2:She's there. She was in the diner too, like oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Foster kind of said something stupid.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because he walks up to her, that's right.
Speaker 2:You don't really know who she is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so he's still kind of talking to her. But then the fight erupts out. They all start fighting each other. Half of the police department get arrested, half of the highway patrolmen get arrested by the police department. It's like I love it, and then you got Foster and Ursula like talking.
Speaker 2:It's like all right, how about I give you this one for that one? The dumb fat one yeah, You're the dumb fat one. Yeah, he's like you're going to have to be more specific. That's such a good bit, though. I love it when Matt goes into the RV and it comes out with a bloody nose.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like.
Speaker 2:Hey, you know there's a dead girl in there.
Speaker 1:That was good. It's like what did that pig do?
Speaker 2:to you, bro. He just got his ass kicked.
Speaker 1:Just let the pig run out by itself.
Speaker 2:Animal control ass kick, just let the pig run out by itself.
Speaker 1:You have to catch a pig in the middle of the highway, though, but yeah, so to end it all, the highway patrol just gives away the case.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so fuck it, you deal with the pig.
Speaker 1:And the captain is mad for them. So it's like dudes. What did we just say? We're going under. We have to be better.
Speaker 2:We have to solve the crimes.
Speaker 1:Because he goes in. They're all in the locker room, they're all just acting, trying to act normal, and then, once the captain walks out, the rabbit just walks out. It's like all right, I'm going to get cleaned up, I'm going to go shower. Such a small, great bit, I loved it.
Speaker 2:That's one of the best comics you want to be a rookie, yeah well, it's just like.
Speaker 1:I love how just they're so he's so down for it, but he's also like like they don't like just hate them, right, they're like, they kind of just like oh yeah, you can be along with some of the bits, but we are going to haze you and it's. I love that dynamic with rabbit. Yeah, that's great. And then we cut to a local kids baseball game.
Speaker 2:Also love how the captain has. He's like he sees what's going on, he kind of realizes that this has to happen, yeah.
Speaker 1:Well cause I.
Speaker 2:I will learn a little later.
Speaker 1:He was doing all the same shit. He invented it, yeah, he invented it yeah he invented half the games yeah, the baseball game yeah we go to the baseball game we learn Thorny has a kid and is kind of a hippie girlfriend. Oh, the other team is full of, like, I guess, the police department's kids.
Speaker 2:So it's like Highway Patrol versus police department, everything is them versus each other.
Speaker 1:It is fun that it was Highway Patrol versus police department instead of like police versus fire department, which is, like you know, constantly through most cop things but it's nice that they all the the troopers and cops they show up to support each other. Yeah, it's really nice and we'll learn a little later that uh thorny is kind of thorny and uh his girl. They're kind of together, kind of not, yeah, it's an open relationship type thing.
Speaker 1:Uh, we see foster, he's flirting with ursula. Um, they kind of do a bit where it's like they talk about the fight from earlier and she's like, oh yeah, just hit me right in the face like the baseball gets hit and hits her in the face she hits him with like the snow cone fun bit that snow cone was supposed to be like slushy but so as the prop they had like a solid brick of ice, so you know it looked good on camera and like she kept hitting them with that instead because they would, they would.
Speaker 1:I guess it was kind of like a prank. They would just wouldn't like exchange it out, ouch um. And then we cut to ursula at the baseball game asking her boss for more field work. But you know he's like misogynistic, it's a man's world Just completely disrespects her about it.
Speaker 1:It's like how about we just put you in a field or something. It's like I don't get the joke. So then we cut to Foster going to the police department to talk to Ursula. He tries to flirt but we learn that Ursula doesn't date cops. She kind of seems like she likes them but kind of doesn't they walk into the jail cell. He's like what is this 8x8? It's like ah yeah.
Speaker 2:Ours is 9x9.
Speaker 1:So they make a bed and when he's leaving he turns around and walks into the cell. It's like, oh, our doors are all over here. I I love it when he says she says she doesn't date cops. He's like, well, I'm not really a cop. Yeah, I give three tickets, I mainly fish. Then we see Foster and Mac. They're on patrol. They pull over a semi. They're going to play a game called repeat, but Foster doesn't want to play. We learned throughout this is that essentially whatever Foster say, magnus comes in and repeats it. We see that the guy they pull over is huge, much taller than them. The truck didn't pull into a weigh-in, so they go to check his load. He's like, yeah, just get up in there, you can check the load.
Speaker 2:They close the door and they're just locked in there for two hours.
Speaker 1:Then Thorny and Rabbit come in. They're like ah, did it again, huh.
Speaker 2:Not the first time you catch him in the middle of the story. He's like that's the second time I got crabs, God damn it shut up.
Speaker 1:And then they see that in the oh and the truck driver stole their car.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, that's what he said To scare him, because he's like no, it's really just parked across the street. Yeah, how did you tell him?
Speaker 1:Classic rookie mistake. Turns out, all the boxes of soap are boxes of weed, with a chimp, with a boner, with a banana, banana boner. Banana boner.
Speaker 2:Say that five times fast.
Speaker 1:Oh, good one. So we learned that the trucker's name was fake. The truck's soap company is fake. Rabbit notices the monkey symbol Johnny Chimpo. Apparently, the monkey is a butler Afghanistan animation. Mayors says they need as much police as they can get. Now I put pictures a bit. What was the pictures?
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, because he's like he's really cool, like they all love him. Yeah, he wants to get in on the picture.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, yeah, duh.
Speaker 2:He throws him the shotgun.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because they keep doing like this, like they're posing for the camera. Yeah, and so like I guess the mayor wants to keep the police, the highway patrol, yeah, like in business, he likes them, he gets to go over there and like gets to make jokes, or like maybe the captain and him go way back, or whatever, he's just a cool guy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he just seems like pretty chill. They all kind of act like G.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the mayor's here. Yeah, the mayor, like, cocks his shotgun and takes a picture. Spread it on, it's great.
Speaker 2:Well, he says, they say say cheese. Yeah, he goes spread it on.
Speaker 1:It's so cool. So Thorny and Rabbit pull over a speeding car. Rabbit is supposed to take this one by himself.
Speaker 2:Hell yeah, it's like bring your son to work day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, as a state trooper, and we see that it's a Swedish couple.
Speaker 2:I think they're just German. Well, I couldn't tell because they said Swedish a couple times and they said German and I was.
Speaker 1:Whenever I first heard it, I thought they said Swedish. Probably I couldn't. It's close enough. I can't tell. Really they're probably German. They're right next to each other they're in that area. Rabbit can't concentrate because the girl is seducing him, like pulling up her skirt a little bit, and they're going to give him a ticket or whatever. And then the guy's like how about you like to? You know, bone my wife On the hood of the car.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and so she gets out, she like spreads them and stuff, and then he just immediately starts groping her and everything. It's like you're out in broad daylight, just like starting to make out in the car.
Speaker 1:Like this is the first good thing that's ever happened. Yeah, it's like, please, I need this man because thorny comes up he says, hey, this car's stolen. It's like we have to take him in. It's like, but while he's like talking to a rabbit about this, you got the guy in the car, like with a little feather, like tickling his butt and just penis.
Speaker 1:This is so good. He's like stop it. And then he gets out and they're like, all right, we got to cuff him. They're like, oh, finally, so good. Then we cut back to Foster. He's flirting more with Ursula. Captain. We see the captain's talking with police chief Grady about the monkey tattoo and sticker. The captain is trying to be serious, while Grady is being a dick, because Grady doesn't want to help. So his budget will be bigger when the highway patrol is shut down. Don't you need a highway patrol though? Kind of, I guess they're just like the police department will just take care of it.
Speaker 1:They can't do everything. It's only like 50 miles. I feel like, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2:There's only 50 miles. I feel like, yeah, you're right, there's only 50 miles.
Speaker 1:I mean, all they have to do is hire four more guys and they could take. They could just cover the entire highway patrol scene and they'd probably be way better at it, that point. But yeah, they have like a little confrontation. Captains like the captain's getting like super pissed. He's like God damn it, he's been a dick. Yeah, so, rabbit, he's been a dick. Yeah, so Rabbit. He's like I'm trying to help you here. Yeah, rabbit, he takes the Porsche out for a drive. Farva's getting a hot dog at a gas station.
Speaker 1:Apparently, if you get 10 gallons he just pours yeah, he didn't have enough pours like half a gallon into a trash can, so he could get a free hot dog fucking idiot. I love him and, like when we see rabbit, he's kind of dressed up, goofy and uh, we cut to mac, who's just like looking in the rearview mirror at the lips of a girl with the speed, yeah it's like at first you see a car going 50 mile an hour. Then he goes to his, like his hand, and it's like 12 and it slowly like builds up really fast.
Speaker 2:It's like can our hands?
Speaker 1:really move that fast? That's what I want to know. I don't think I had like some lube or something he's looking at.
Speaker 2:It's just like a lady blowing on a set of dice yeah, that's it, he's just.
Speaker 1:He's just looking at the lips, nothing else. A little later's like they kind of bring it up, he's like it's a hot billboard. But yeah, then next thing, you know, rabbit zooms past him because he's trying to prank him, just like he did earlier, but Farver stops him instead, pulls a gun on him, puts him against the car, handcuffs him. Same team.
Speaker 2:Same team.
Speaker 1:So then we cut to thorny and his girlfriend. They're talking. They're talking about like, what happens if he gets transferred. Will she move with them? And you're like you're hearing like a, like a kid what sounds like a kid jumping on a bed, and so she's kind of like no, I don't think I'll, I don't think I'm gonna try, I'm not gonna move with you.
Speaker 2:You know and he wants him to. He's got. The kid has a good life here.
Speaker 1:Um, and then like they walk into the room and you're like you're kind of wondering, it's like why is he holding like a?
Speaker 2:thing of bananas. Why does he wear any clothes?
Speaker 1:yeah, we're holding and then, uh, they walk into the room and it's the swedish couple, because they're in an open relationship. That was a good bit, that's. I was like, well, I was genuinely a little surprised, like, oh, I forgot.
Speaker 2:It's like can we stay? Yeah, who wants a mustache ride? Yeah, well me, that sounds fun.
Speaker 1:These Swedish couples are having a good time. Man or German couple, whatever.
Speaker 2:I don't know if they they're always having a good time.
Speaker 1:It's like are they actually? It's like how long are they going to stay in there? Do they just want to stay in there? At this point? They're probably like having getting taken home by a new person every single time.
Speaker 2:Just prisoners of the state troopers.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so we see Ursula, she gets a prank call from some man and it's like, hey, look outside, it turns out it's Foster flashing her. Yeah, using the voice changer, he's just doing it like a woman's voice. I did air quotes.
Speaker 2:Oh. God he's horrible, he's horrible.
Speaker 1:Like jumps back in the window and then all of a sudden he's got a gun to his back and then you definitely have a voice changer behind him. It's like, oh God, it was just a joke.
Speaker 2:I know the person in there. Bend over, touch your toes. I'm going to show you where the wild goose goes.
Speaker 1:And it turns out all this terrible flirting works because they go up next to the RV a dead girl RV and they start like like they look about to have sex. And then they break the bed and it turns out there's weed under it A lot. Break the bed and it turns out there's weed under it A lot, yes, a lot. But then we cut to Captain, who is pissed at Farva, Rabbit and Mac because of everything that just happened.
Speaker 2:Rabbit, looks so sad. Yeah, he's like damn it so ashamed.
Speaker 1:Because we learn Rabbit is off the streets, farva's going to be with Thorny and Mac is going to be on the radio now. Oh, that's low. And Mac is going to be on the radio now oh, that's low. Yeah, that sucks. It's like you're making the wrong call here. Get Farva out of there. The rookie still has a chance. Okay, I don't think he has a choice. Yeah, he has to punish him. But then, luckily, foster brings in the weed. Captain is excited, so they can out-cop the cops essentially at this point. So then the captain gives everyone a mission they're going to have like Mac and Foster are going to like go to, I guess, like a weigh station or something, dress up as truckers, essentially.
Speaker 2:Well, I think that they kind of ad-libbed that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, definitely, they were just supposed to go there. Yeah, they were just supposed to kind of go there. But then they're like, well there. But then they're like we'll see a little, we'll get there, we'll get there. But then we cut to Foster and Ursula. They're in the woods in their cop car and they're about to have sex.
Speaker 2:They lock themselves in the back.
Speaker 1:They don't have enough room up front, so they go in the back and then he shuts the door and she's like our cop car is going to lock from the inside. I don't know what you're planning on doing here.
Speaker 2:The kid got himself out of their car.
Speaker 1:Yeah pretty easily. Maybe, they can change the locks or something I don't know. We see Thorny is dreading working with Farva. They're kind of talking about him. Farva walks up, Y'all talking about me. He's like no, we're not talking about you.
Speaker 2:He's got his shotgun and pushes him out of the way he's ready to go, it's already like a bad idea.
Speaker 1:He is ready to murder.
Speaker 2:He's so unfit for this position. Yeah.
Speaker 1:So then Mac and Foster Mac brings up it's like what happened to your door. It's like, oh, some kids with a wrench.
Speaker 2:Yo, you mean those kids with the wrenches. Yeah, it's like yeah, okay, we can't take our car.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So they see the truck and they start dressing as truckers. Mac tries to drive the truck. Immediately shuts off. Foster's like all right, I can do it. Immediately shuts off again.
Speaker 2:And then after that they're like I didn't know it was going to be a stick.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so good. So then we cut to Farva and Thorny. Farva's trying to come up with games and, like essentially Thorny's like I don't want to play any games with you?
Speaker 2:Stupid, dangerous games yeah.
Speaker 1:And then they come up with a bit of like, because I guess Farva's like Farva Ram or whatever, and Thorny Rod Rod something. Rod Farva, yeah, rod Farva, and it's Ram Thorny Ram or something like that. Yeah, something like that. So they're going to be called Ramrod Thorny. Does not like it, though, say it, he's like all right, I'm going to play like a chicken fucker game or whatever I'm going to go up to him and yell chicken fucker, because he just doesn't get it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he doesn't understand why it's funny.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's funny. It would have been funny if it wasn so. He just walks up to the car.
Speaker 2:Chicken fucker.
Speaker 1:It's like that's not a bit, man, it's not a game.
Speaker 2:His parents must have been so upset.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're like, oh, thanks.
Speaker 2:That's comedy. Huh, this is great huh, it's funny. This is y'all's games. I'm really glad. Do we not get enough of this at Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1:So Captain calls Grady. Captain gives Grady one last chance to work with him, or?
Speaker 2:he'll embarrass him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, or embarrass him. Then we also learned that Grady had sex with his cousin. Yeah, he's like that wasn't my cousin, wasn't my cousin? And this is one of the another, like kind of the more obvious shot where he's standing in front of like a deer oh yeah.
Speaker 2:And he's got the horns, so he's standing in front of like a deer. Oh yeah, he's got the horns. Yeah, so it was really funny when he they were in the office, uh, previously talking to each other and he puts down his coffee cup like right next to the coaster. Yeah, just to piss him off. Yeah, it's so good that is uh, that's one of those little things. It's such a small detail.
Speaker 1:That would be something that I would do. It's like I don't want to make you. I don't want to say anything to make you mad, but I'm going to, like psychologically make you mad. That's so funny. And then, one of the best bits Farva and Thorny go to lunch to dimples or what something like that yeah, what is he going?
Speaker 2:to dimplesize it? Yeah, something like that. Yeah, what is going to dip a size? Yeah.
Speaker 1:Farva. He like asked for a burger. The guy on the intercom is like could you we got a burger for a cop? It's like why'd you say that? It's like you're going to spit in it. It's like hold the spit. And then it's like the guy wasn't doing anything bad, he just said for a cop. So that I mean that could be a good thing. You know, like maybe, like hey make it extra good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so he'd make it good. But then he's like immediately antagonizing the guy. Then he's like you want a drink with that. He's like a liter of Coke.
Speaker 2:He's like everything with Varva is so difficult.
Speaker 1:He's like what't think we?
Speaker 2:have that brand liter of cola. It's like thorny's, like just get a large dude, I want a large pharma yeah, I want a goddamn liter of cola.
Speaker 1:They go sit down. He's about to take eat his burger and he like looks at me, you think they spit in. He's like probably like who cares? Eats it anyways gross and they kind of talk about his girlfriend and stuff. But pharma doesn't give a shit he just immediately changes the subject to himself. He just wants to arrest people and stuff. That's all he wants to do. And then, uh, like I don't, I don't remember what the fast food guy was doing, but um, he put.
Speaker 2:He put um a hole in his cup underneath the sticker that's right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because he undoes the sticker and it pops out. He just goes and tackles the guy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he jumps across the bar so good. I love when he's watching it on camera. He just keeps rewinding it, yeah.
Speaker 1:But then we cut to Barva, getting hosed off.
Speaker 2:He's like what's up, you burger bitch.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you burger bitch.
Speaker 2:So good they're throwing powder on him. Yeah.
Speaker 1:We'll learn that it's powdered sugar. Then Grady talks to Farva and this is where we get the powdered sugar bit. He says what is this? Is this powdered sugar? He's like, yeah, he starts talking a little bit Tastes good, Great.
Speaker 2:But yeah, Grady's talking to little bit Tastes good, great.
Speaker 1:But yeah, grady's talking to Farva. He's wanting to give info about the RV murder girl by telling him he can work with them if he wants to, which at first he doesn't bite. He's like I'm not going to do it, I'm a highwayman. And he walks out naked in front of Ursula with Foster there, or no thorny there what is he calls her?
Speaker 2:that thing that everyone calls?
Speaker 1:her charlie's angel. Yeah, he's like.
Speaker 2:I've never heard that one before she looks a lot like the bunny from zootopia. You seen Zootopia?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I have.
Speaker 2:I love that movie. She looks just like what's her name.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, cause she's got the cheeks, yeah. So mousy, mousy. Yeah, you know the rabbit. Yeah, she looks mousy. I mean no, they're the rodents. She does kind of look like a rodent like a cute little rodent, I would.
Speaker 1:I would uh suggest never using that as a pickup light nibble on my carrot. Ew, do you think like hey girl, you look like a little bunny. I think that would work. Nah, unless they're wearing ears bunny ears, don't do it. In my mind it works. Every time girl called me bunny I'd be like hell. Yeah, you don't see me, hop, pop your foot. They just let know bunnies are fertile Bunny.
Speaker 2:Hops, that was her name, or Judy Hops, judy Hops, that was her name in the rabbit.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, hey that's how you get there, folks.
Speaker 2:We got there.
Speaker 1:We got there. Join us next week as we do Zootopia, as we try to remember the names of the characters. Yeah so, mac Foster, thorny and Rabbit watched Johnny Chimpo and Get High that's awesome.
Speaker 2:It looks hilarious for evidence. We used to do this we used to do this with a Harvey Birdman attorney at law. Really yeah, and we even had a German exchange student with us. Really yeah, it was fun, holy shit you, you are you with us Really?
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was fun. Holy shit, you lived the Super Trooper life, but you were the opposite. You're the people getting pulled over living the Super Trooper life. We see Farva's getting in trouble about the captain. He's on cleaning duty now and this is obviously when he's like I'm going to go to the police department. Captain breaks up the watch party. This time we have the German slash Swiss guy there and then essentially comes out. He's like he's going to go look for a new job. Essentially it's like wah, wah, wah Cap. So Ursula and Foster, they're having dinner, they're supposed to dress up like bikers.
Speaker 1:Ursula dressed up like a motorcycle biker and Foster dressed up as a bicycle biker. Good bit, loved it.
Speaker 2:That bit worked really good in 50-year-old virgins. Yeah, or 40-year-old virgins 50-year-old virgin.
Speaker 1:They should have came out with a sequel called that. Oh man, just like a different, yeah, why not it's been much sadder. I don't know 40 much sadder.
Speaker 2:I don't know 40 over, just preset too.
Speaker 1:Sorry if there's any I've got a stepbrother who?
Speaker 2:was one of those. Wow, really, I mean like by choice or I don't think so.
Speaker 1:I don't think anybody is by choice right no, there are. Yeah, but he definitely wasn't yeah, I mean, I guess, if you're a monk, or or a priest.
Speaker 2:He was always pining over this one girl at work who had a boyfriend. Ah classic and it was awful he ended up going to live with them. Yeah, because he lived at home with us.
Speaker 1:God, it was so sad, Jeez. Oh, my gosh Guys. Moment of silence for this guy.
Speaker 2:He's still alive? Yeah, probably.
Speaker 1:It's like that's the worst person. You can go move in with the couple, with the girl that you like. Yeah, it's awful, that's insane. Jason, something I love about you. You always got it. You always got a wild, wacky story, usually like for an episode. It's great. I hope we never run out. I have zero stories, you have all. So Ursula's got a plan that the highway patrol should give the RV weed to the governor at a governor party thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't really understand what this is.
Speaker 1:They're essentially, just like I guess, rewarding for finding all the weed, and it's also they don't get shut down because.
Speaker 2:Ursula doesn't want buster to have to move because they're in love for some reason. Yes, it's kind of I like the relationship. It's kind of cute and fun it is. It is and uh, but oh man, we haven't figured out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're about to okay so she lets them in the gate. Yeah, steal the winnebago. Got the key under the rock. So at the shooting, we're at the shooting range. Matt comes up with a bulletproof cup and Thorny shoots it to see if it works. Foster's telling the gangs the plan and then like it's great, because every time he shoots it he like flies back. He's like oh, it works.
Speaker 2:He loves it. He loves it. He's a freak. And then, like the second time he gets shot, he's like, oh yeah, he gives it to rabbit, yeah, and he's like that's going to be a little pinch.
Speaker 1:Yeah. And then um captain walks up, he's like oh, bulletproof cup I that Takes the gun from Mac, shoots it at the car. He's like except we use blanks.
Speaker 2:You fucking idiot you psycho. We also made the rookie get naked.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh great, it's funny. Prisoners yelling at them.
Speaker 1:And then they tell Captain the plan, we're at the governor party. It's starting the only two police department. Yeah, so we're there at the party. We got like the mayor's there, it's Mac and it's like a policeman's ball.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like a police ball or something.
Speaker 1:And then you got Mac and Captain there and Farvo comes in. He's like who I tried to not get him to come but he found out anyways, because they're constantly trying not to invite him to anything and we learn that there's only going to be two police people at the police department. They leave because they're getting like 30 billion calls, while they're there.
Speaker 1:It's like, well, somebody's got to be here. To man it Ah, fuck it, let's go. And to man it Ah, fuck it, let's go. And then we see Foster and Thorny get in and it's just like there's a key under the rock and he's like, how did you know about this? And then we see that Rabbit got the police to leave by pretending to have sex with a bear in the woods.
Speaker 2:Yes, that's so awesome.
Speaker 1:You have like a group of people watching it. It's like, hey, you bear fucker. It's just like hey, you bear fucker. I guess he got like a radio just making bear noises, getting like he's like oh yeah, and I love how committed to the rabbit is. He even, like, has, like, his tooth blacked out. It's pretty funny, pretty good.
Speaker 2:This is one of the because it's comes completely out of nowhere yeah, it's like it's so good, yeah. And then when he runs away, yeah, it's like the little legs behind him are like.
Speaker 1:So the, the governor, shows up and she's like why the fuck am I? Here it's like oh, there's because of the police, drug busts. Like, oh, like cocaine. It's like no marijuana. She's like, oh seriously, it's like I love it. Even in 2001 in Vermont, they're like are we seriously like making a big deal about weed? It's like come on, we're near Canada.
Speaker 2:It's like if it was, if it was something like harmful come on like fentanyl. Yeah, it's all coming from canada, apparently.
Speaker 1:Apparently it's the wrong border, I feel like. So we learned that the governor is gonna leave early, and I love it, because before that the captain and mac figure this out, they're like laughing and having a good time, like the captain loves these guys and I love it. Um, but yeah, so they find out like she's going to leave in like five minutes, so they call Thorny and then it's like you got five minutes to get here.
Speaker 2:Get this little montage of them driving and then, like Farva, puking off, like drinking and puking yeah, it's like booting and rally.
Speaker 1:It's like is he drinking milk?
Speaker 2:Looks like he's drinking beer and milk at the same time.
Speaker 1:Probably they're just like pina colada mix or something there's some shitty light beer yeah, but they make it in time just for them to realize grady already got the drugs and they know who the dead girl is, if they actually know who she is, they say she's like a dope queen or whatever it feels queen pin. Yeah, queen drug, queen pin whatever I'm like, this is totally Kentucky.
Speaker 1:It's totally made up for sure. Yes, it was probably a girl walked into that RV made to eat dog food, or they kind of look like the Reese's Puffs, so they could have set them up yeah, oh shit, who knows, I didn't think about that. Well, I wouldn't even think of that. I just mean, like she could just been like kidnapped in that RV by somebody and they just found the opportunity to discover some drugs.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Genius Might be Criminal minds who knows.
Speaker 2:But yeah, the captain of the police force takes credit for the big drug bust because they found even more drugs, even more, and it's like no but.
Speaker 1:And then Ursula's like no but. And then Ursula's like leaving Foster thinks Ursula set him up. She's like I can't believe you did this. Tases him Hell yeah. Because she says like I bet you're even screwing Grady, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:That was the right thing to do.
Speaker 1:Such thing in these like raunchy comedies, it's all always ends up saying, oh, what was it? Um office space does the same thing, thanks to screwing the boss it's such a big bit in all these like 2000 comedies. That's true, um and then. So we're at the station. Everyone's getting drunk, except farva.
Speaker 2:This is I kind of love when they all get drunk. This is great.
Speaker 1:The ending is pretty good there. They're just having their last hoorah. Even, captain, I think it's because, god, I just love fun drunk Irish fine cucks yeah. And so, like everyone's there except Farva Caps is drunk, they go and they hear like noises in the locker room and they see it's Farva. He's in the locker room dressed as a police department uniform.
Speaker 2:Son of a bitch. Go to Miss Bell Locker Smells like ass, just like my old girlfriend or something. Something like that. It's like what Damn that's so horrible, he told.
Speaker 1:He told One of the best bits in this, though One of my favorites, so he's going to walk out of the place. They all scooch in close. He's like, oh, excuse me, excuse me, squeezing in, I love it.
Speaker 2:It was the biggest laugh I got in the whole movie and he comes back in and they kind of like surround him. They do it again.
Speaker 1:He's like, oh, excuse me, Putting his hands up. It's like, dude, just don't go back in. And then we cut to him. He's handcuffed to a goddamn tulip baby. And they took his suit, took his suit and everything, because Captain Howe has it on and they just drive it around pretending to be cops, just getting super drunk.
Speaker 2:They pull someone over.
Speaker 1:Captain P's on the guy's car.
Speaker 2:When you gotta go, you gotta go.
Speaker 1:When you gotta go, you gotta go.
Speaker 2:I was just thinking of the McDonald's commercial the whole time Like this, this part and uh, or just this movie, and also in uh, the movie with McLovin where the cops are trying to be cool Super bad, it's always fun. We see cops trying to be fun yeah.
Speaker 1:It's kind of fun, it's kind of, it's kind of cool and it's cool to see.
Speaker 2:Such a fantasy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so they go to Grady's house, captain's yelling outside of his house and knocking all the shit over.
Speaker 2:Just kind of destroying everything around his house.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Then you got Foster being like oh man, I got to call Ursula. Ursula calls over the radio trying to apologize and she's like this is a working live channel. Go to channel five. He's like I'm so sorry, baby, come on baby. He doesn't actually say it like that, but Ursula's like got a plan to get them back. Wonder what it could be.
Speaker 2:I love it when Brian Cox came back to the car and he's like give me the 2x4. Yeah, and he's like I need help out here. He takes Rabbit, it's just to help him, like hit a tree.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like I don't even know what he's hitting like decorations in the tree.
Speaker 1:It's like almost hitting Rabbit a couple times. It's so good, brian Cox, so much fun, so much fun. So while they go, they're kind of waiting for her to see what her plan is and they see a soap truck drive by them Bunty, they're going to go get it. But Farva stops them and said he's got it, pulls out a gun on him, he's going to arrest him. Mac tries to jump and attack him and he Farva just moves all the way, slips over the car. It's great Reminiscent of earlier when Rabbit was waxing the car.
Speaker 1:Nice wax job when he tries to slide over. It's so good. Uh, have you ever slid over a car like that? No, I tried, but I got stuck shouldn't do it, because our pants have like metal on them. Oh it scratches it yeah, my friend back in um when we were in high school, I remember this uh, I was like I'm gonna do some hazard over your brand new nissan ultima.
Speaker 1:I did a giant scratch on it. Oh my God, she got in so much trouble. I luckily never had to talk to those parents, but it's OK, because I don't even know if she really blamed it on me, because later that day, as a joke, they stuffed me in a trunk and of that same car drove me. They drove me to my house in the driveway, then opened the trunk and let me out. My parents are always outside. I'm like guys, what are y'all doing? I get in the car.
Speaker 1:My mom calls Choose them out, choose me out, yeah, I was like well, I didn't know where we really were, because you know, like I just got out and I'm like guys, this is the stupidest thing you ever did, so you just took off. That's awesome I got in their car and we went back to the because we live on the same street Like it was just like walking distance, not far, just like a few houses down and mom calls she's pissed.
Speaker 2:I'm like what the fuck Stuffing my baby in the trunk?
Speaker 1:It's like drive me to a different house. At least she yelled at the girls the girl who were in that car.
Speaker 2:So my parents just would have laughed yeah.
Speaker 1:You know, I thought my parents would do, but it was not a funny bit.
Speaker 1:Or at least to my mom. My dad probably wouldn't have cared, I don't know he might have. It was kind of hard to tell like what would have been a good joke for him and what wouldn't be, because he's kind of you know, he's kind of more of the partier one in the family. I guess it depends how drunk he was. We got, we went walking one night. It's like super late at night and we're just going to walk around the neighborhood. I didn't want to go. We're just supposed to walk down this dirt road right in front of my friend's house and they're like, oh, let's just do the whole neighborhood. And I was like I don't want to do this but I'm like I don't want to run back and I was like 14. They were all like 16 or 17 at that point Because my friend was older than me, my best friend was and of course a cop drives unmarked cop.
Speaker 2:Like don't go down that road.
Speaker 1:And, like my friend wasn't, dad wasn't home, so I lived on the same street. So who are they going to call my?
Speaker 2:dad.
Speaker 1:He was so, so mad. Was this for walking? Yeah, it was late at night. I guess there's been we're all underage. We're all underage, it's like past midnight, so you know this guy took the opportunity to whip it out. You know, tell us to go home.
Speaker 2:That's weird that he did that.
Speaker 1:Well, he didn't ironically, one of the guys with us Fly was down. He's like he, like he saw that. He's like your pecker's out and it wasn't.
Speaker 2:Fly was just down.
Speaker 1:That's awesome it's just like come on, dude, we're like, we're literally he was messing with y'all too we're literally 10 minutes from the house.
Speaker 1:We, like people in the backseat, were kind of making jokes like ah, in five years we're always going to sit back and laugh about this. I didn't get to go back to the party, I had to go back home with my dad and soon as he left I'm glad they think it's fucking funny I'm like, ah, guys shut up in the backseat, ugh. Well, that brought back some memories. I do have some stories, anyways. So Farva's going to arrest him. Farbott says he turned because they aren't going to let him actually be a cop, because the other team wouldn't let him be a cop. And it's like, yeah, you suck, you're terrible at it, you want to shoot everybody.
Speaker 2:He would fit in perfectly with the police.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly. But he wouldn't, because he's too good of a good he, but he wouldn't because he's too good of a good he.
Speaker 2:He's a he wants to be an actual cop.
Speaker 1:It's all he wants to do. He just wants to do it hard. So they convince him to let them get the truck.
Speaker 2:They see the meetup of the truck where the soap truck is with all the drugs. Why are they all kissing the French plane driver, the French Canadian? So I guess they kiss.
Speaker 1:I don't know that's more Italian, I felt, but I don't know. They all do it and they see that it's like a plane and it just says Canadian.
Speaker 2:Canada is responsible for this.
Speaker 1:Damn it Canada. Hey, Canada's got to get wheat too, man.
Speaker 2:It's wheat's legal over there.
Speaker 1:Was it in 2001?
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:I'm going to look it up.
Speaker 2:You know what? No, I'm not. We'll look it up later.
Speaker 1:So, and then they see a cop come up and it turns out it's Grady who saw that one coming Shoot. And of course Farva thinks like, oh, he's there for the bus, I better get out there. So he runs off, and I better get out there, so he runs off. And then Ursula pops up, scares them all. They're like how does Ursula know all about this? How did you know that Ursula knew all about this? And it's like wait, are y'all together? She's like oh, even the captain's. Like good job, foster, that little, that shit right there. Like really gets me, but Ursula knew and was trying to help them catch it. Catch, like really gets me, but Ursula knew and was trying to help them catch it. Catch like the police in.
Speaker 2:And out on it the whole time. Yeah, she was using Foster. Yeah.
Speaker 1:And he's like wait, were you using them?
Speaker 2:or are you?
Speaker 1:like boyfriends, and they're all like yeah, good job. This is sweet. So they come up with a plan. We see them like they pull some flares out of a car what are they gonna do with all?
Speaker 1:this. And then, like they go to farva's car and it's like oh, it's got your name on it, ursula. And we're like what? It's a sex doll, yeah, so. And then like farva comes up, he's like all right, I'm in on it, I'm helping, are we taking these guys down? And they're like farva, what are you doing here? And they're like the drug dealers like shoot them, kill them. Oh, fuck, yeah. And he's like what, what? And then the gang drives in with a police car that has a bunch of flares on it, sirens going and a sex doll with Ursula's name on top of the car. They're gonna arrest everybody.
Speaker 2:And then they just hop out of the trunk. Yeah, it's like what is this?
Speaker 1:yeah, I guess they just had to, they just needed the car to go so that they could be in the trunks when they shoot at the car, I guess, because they just shoot at it a lot. It's barely a plan. You didn't even really need the sex doll, the flares or anything, because you're already in a police car with sirens and lights. And then the whole group starts to fight and the super troopers win.
Speaker 2:Yes, they're asking for a giant guy, yeah.
Speaker 1:And then until Farva joins and helps they're able to get the upper hand, the great Grady, and Captain the Captain yeah.
Speaker 2:He's punching up the air because he's so drunk, so drunk.
Speaker 1:But he wins. He beats him in a fight, then at the end of the fight he falls back a little bit. We did it, boy, we did it, and then we cut to later on. They're all getting together. It's all kind of sweet Kid's there, the girlfriend's there Ursula, I think, is even there. They learn they're still being shut down?
Speaker 1:No, I don't see that coming and it says sincerely Governor, fuckhead, classic Classic, brian Cox, shit right there. So then we cut to. Three months later, thorny and Rabbit are delivering a keg to a party, st Inky's. Yeah, we see, it's the same guys from earlier in the movie.
Speaker 2:They're being kind of assholes to him by making it Deservingly. They're afraid at first, though.
Speaker 1:Yeah, assholes to him by making it Deservingly. They're afraid at first, though they're really scared Like, oh no, my parents are in the back.
Speaker 1:Yeah, my dad ordered the keg, but they're messing with him deservedly. They should mess with him because they were dicks to him at the beginning of the movie and they're having him move the keg around all over the place. And then it turns out they're actually actually the police department, now Ready for the fun part. Bum, bum, bum and the movie ends. Essentially they're all going to get arrested, but we see they actually stay and party baby.
Speaker 2:The dude puts out of the basement.
Speaker 1:I love acid. It's great. They're playing a bunch of little drinking games and stuff Cake stands. They're throwing stuff at this guy doing like little duck. It's like what's the duck? The duck shoot game.
Speaker 2:It's like the game with the fair Duck hunt.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and like every time he hits he's like ding.
Speaker 2:He throws a fire extinguisher.
Speaker 1:Farva throws a fire extinguisher what the fuck. And then it cuts the very end after the credits. There's a little outtake of Fargo throwing up.
Speaker 2:Oh, there's also the bus, yes, where all the kids on the bus are pouring milk on them, and then they kick his ass and they're fighting him.
Speaker 1:It's like what was the school bus driver even doing at that point, or was it being driven by students?
Speaker 2:I don't know. I'm really glad they added that at added that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was good Cause I was like I don't remember what the bus was yeah, and that's super troopers. We're going to go to our categories the good, the bad, the ugly, the fine. It's where we discuss the good of the film, something we liked, the bad, something we didn't.
Speaker 2:The fine something or the ugly fine something that did age well, what he got for the good, because just remembering a lot of it. But what made it funny was remembering how funny I thought it was. Yeah, 20 years ago, yeah this is.
Speaker 1:It's a great movie to like talk with a friend with. Yeah, because, even if like, because watching it alone at 8 am in the morning is not the proper way to watch this movie but watching it with like some of your buds, like smoking or drinking or something the best way to watch this movie.
Speaker 2:People quoted this movie for like forever like I still.
Speaker 1:I used to always do like we can't pull over anymore. We pulled over. Like me and richard, we used to well.
Speaker 2:I used to love saying that every time you go to a fast food restaurant you think about large fava.
Speaker 1:Yeah for me. I put like the actors are so likable yeah, they really are like I want to hang with these boys.
Speaker 2:They do seem like a good time. Yeah, I think that's why they made Beer Fest.
Speaker 1:Yeah, right it's like let's just get drunk. Yeah, I remember watching beer fest. I remember thinking that was pretty funny, but I kind of came on, uh, comedy central a lot. I remember that, yeah, it's in the boot, yeah the boot. Couldn't figure out how to drink the boot because it always spill on them or whatever, and they just had to twist it.
Speaker 1:No movie has ever encouraged me to binge, drink, binge, drink more man a good beer movie like will make you go by hell yeah, man watching always watching the parties why I remember being in college and I was watching django unchained and it got to the point where, um, christoph waltz is talking to, uh uh, jamie foxx, and they're in a bar and he's like he's preparing the beer for him, yeah, and like he has that little stick scrapes the top of it.
Speaker 1:I love it and the way like he was shot, which is something tarantino's so good, because he's even like with the uh uh, the dessert bit and inglorious bastard. It's like he he's would be a great advertising commercial guy. But like I was like I gotta go, I stopped the movie, I went and got beers, I was like I had to and I and I poured it in a glass and I was like I don't have a stick.
Speaker 2:You just used your finger.
Speaker 1:But yeah, I really like these actors. What's the bad for you?
Speaker 2:The bad. I mean, it's not really a whole lot, that's bad.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't really think of anything.
Speaker 2:For me, the bad was watching it alone at 8 am.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was that was the bad for me, that was that was my bad. But yeah, I mean honestly, it's not. It's not, it's kind of it's just fairly, it's like, even if it wasn't a comedy, it's fun movie yeah, it's really fun.
Speaker 2:I mean, some of the jokes are a little cheesy but, you know it's okay, they make up for it.
Speaker 1:I don't know, but thinking about every joke we talked about, I was like no, that was a good bit. And in my in my notes I wrote like after almost every joke, that's a good bit maybe seeing John Efferman's penis.
Speaker 2:that was not my favorite yeah.
Speaker 1:Why not? I don't understand why.
Speaker 2:You don't like seeing that. I mean it was. There was no problem with it. What'd you think about Walter Goggins'?
Speaker 1:penis in a rush of chipsuits, yikes, all right. So what do you got for the ugly? This was a pretty easy one. I felt like what Cops, cops C and cops and cops playing pranks on people? They're not. It's not a good thing. Cops aren't your friends.
Speaker 2:Don't fall for never fall for a joke never laugh at them if they're saying meow, no, don't do that they will already they hate it when you do things. Yeah, they hate being laughed at.
Speaker 1:For some reason they don't get to get laughed at, I guess. No, there's very high stress, yeah, all the time. Yeah, I was like I don't know. I did get pulled over by one cop and he was so nice and funny because my name was, like my name's, middle name's, james, so Jesse James, you know you just shot him finger guns?
Speaker 2:no, he's just like.
Speaker 1:Jesse James. Well, you're not living up to that name and they're like we're having a good laugh.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, motherfucker. Yeah, what do you think about this?
Speaker 1:And then I was just going down a hill and I kind of get a little too fast and I'm like, ah, sorry, such an outlaw, I'm a bad boy. And of course he made a bank robbing joke and then he let me go for free. Yeah, my ugly is a bad cop.
Speaker 2:Be a good cop, you should just bring a cowboy hat in your car. I should Be a good cop. You should just bring a cowboy hat in your car. I should, for when you get pulled over.
Speaker 1:That would be. Maybe I get more jokes, I don't know if I want cops.
Speaker 2:If you can make them laugh, I feel like you got a chance.
Speaker 1:Make them laugh. Make them laugh. That's singing in the rain, all right. What do you got to find? Something that aged?
Speaker 2:well, I Aged well, I guess I haven't seen any of these guys newer stuff, but I feel like their brand of comedy is right up my alley.
Speaker 1:Kind of the legend of this movie. Aged well, I feel like everybody loves Super Troopers. If you talk to him about it, like most people would be like you've seen Super Troopers Like hell. Yeah, bro, especially our age. Yeah, it's definitely kind of a bro movie.
Speaker 2:I could see like Generations Under Us not liking it and Generations Above Us not liking it as well. I almost let my oldest daughter watch this with me, but she didn't want to get out of bed this morning, so I guess, it's probably good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I still don't think it is.
Speaker 2:I think she would have thought it was funny.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I don't know, your daughter, I'll have to give it a test. Yeah, give it a test. Sit down with everybody in your family to watch this and, just instead of watching the movie, just stare at them from the recliner Just say raise your hand when you stop liking it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh, that was fast.
Speaker 1:Your wife one joke in yeah, raises her hand. Mine was Brian Cox baby.
Speaker 2:Hell yeah.
Speaker 1:That guy is still making bangers Even McDonald's commercials.
Speaker 2:Oh shit, yeah.

Speaker 2:It's Peter Klonenberg damn it.
Speaker 1:It's just like how they got Bill Paxton to just do his best Jimmy Buffett impersonation. I don't know, but it's amazing. He probably wasn't doing much. I'm just going to buy it on Amazon. I can't find it anywhere. It I'm just going to buy it on Amazon. I can't find it anywhere. It's like $40 to get a Blu-ray. I don't even think they have a Blu-ray. It's expensive to find it because they're just not making it. I don't think. But yeah, so mine's Club Dread, what's yours, baby Beerfest Hell yeah. Obviously it's another good one.
