We Recommend: A Movie Podcast
Friendship
What if the funniest scenes in a movie feel like your worst social nightmares? We dive into “Friendship,” a Tim Robinson-led dramedy that turns adult loneliness, neediness, and status anxiety into a ride that’s equal parts laugh-out-loud and curl-your-toes tense. From a sewer “adventure” gone wrong to the guys’ night boxing fiasco and a toad trip that ends at Subway, we unpack why the film’s chaos feels personal—and why it works.
If this breakdown made you laugh, wince, or think, tap follow, share it with a friend who loves Tim Robinson, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find the show.

Hello and welcome to the We Recommend Podcast, a movie podcast where every week we recommend a movie for you to watch, and then come back here and listen to us discuss. I'm Jesse. I'm Jason. Did you get the answers you needed? No! I ordered a sandwich! Cause this week we recommend friendship. Jason! What did you think of friendship? It's wow.
SPEAKER_01:It's like I love Tim Robinson so much.
SPEAKER_00:So everything you've seen them in Detroiters, and you've seen them in I think you should leave. Whenever and you know, I love those. Well, I haven't seen all of Detroiters. We started it one night when we were kind of like drinking and stuff, and then just haven't got back to it. But I think you should leave. I watched the whole series probably three or four times at this point. Um When you think of a Tim Robinson movie, does this meet your um did it meet your expectations? Um I don't know.
SPEAKER_01:What are the expectations for Tim Robinson's? I turned it on last night, and I got about 30 minutes in, and then Ashley's sitting next to me, and she's like, Are you sure this is a movie? I was like, Yeah, I hit it, I hit press the button. Uh backed out, and it was the chair company.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, you watched the wrong thing. The chair company. I've only seen the first episode. Also good.
SPEAKER_01:So I didn't know, I don't have any expectations. It's because I thought that was the movie. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, they're it they're kind of similar, right? Just like just Tim Robinson just be Tim Robinson is a psychopath. In insane situations. Well, it's because this is a kind of a movie just about a regular guy who um well, it's a regular situation, right? Of just guy making friends in his adult life. But what if that guy had no idea how to be a human?
SPEAKER_01:Right? Yeah, he can't read social cues at all.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and then whatever he finally does, he like betters himself, but then that itch comes back and he's like he's got that dog in him. Yeah. The thing is, what really is crazy about this movie is I kind of connected on it sometimes on like a very personal level. Like it reminds me of sitting in school, my senior year, around a bunch of people that I'm not like super close with at the lunch table, but hey, they kind of accepted me for a little bit. And anytime they'd always have all these jokes and stuff, and I just sit there quietly because awkward, you know, high school kid didn't know how to be friends with people. Yes. I only knew how to be friends with the people that I was friends with. Right. So, and then you know, they'll all be saying, and then I say something and they just look at me and it's like, so I won't do that again. Right? So T just doesn't learn that he should just stop doing stuff. Yes. I learned it pretty quickly of I hate when people stare at me like I'm dumb. Yeah, that sucks. So, like those aspects of this movie kind of really hit me deep, which made it hard to watch, but also kind of made me feel better about myself.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, because you didn't fuck up as much as toad.
SPEAKER_00:Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_01:No, yeah, this guy. I love you, T-boy. I love you, toad boy. It's T boy.
SPEAKER_00:This movie, it's like when I when I put it back on, I was like, I don't really remember too many quotes. Like I remember like the big ones where he's screaming. But then re-watching it this time, I was like, Jesus Christ, I could just sit here and just I just started looking through the quotes, and I could just read these quotes and laugh all day. Um what makes Tim Robinson so funny?
SPEAKER_01:Basking in awkwardness, I think. You know, it's trying to make a situation so awkward.
SPEAKER_00:Like worse. People like consider him like people consider this movie cringe comedy. Yeah, I can see that. Man, but I hate cringe comedy. But everything Tim Robinson does is not cringe me out. I don't get it. Chair Company kinda did in some spots.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I see what you're saying. I feel like that's his just sh shtick.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. But it's like I can't figure out why why I don't find it cringy.
SPEAKER_01:I don't really feel cringy. I feel something else. It's close, but yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Because someone at comfortable someone at my wife's work, uh, they watch they're a big Tim Robinson fan. Um, and they were talking about it's like, oh, it's so hard to watch, and like you know, I've watched it like two or three times now, and I'm just like, I don't know. Like I could just put this on in the morning, I'm good to go.
SPEAKER_01:But I I felt my mind going like trying to predict the future of what how he was gonna fuck up so hard. Yeah. Oh I think that was a fun part of it. It's just uh keeps you guessing.
SPEAKER_02:And I guess there's like um I don't know what I was gonna say.
SPEAKER_00:So um is this a comedy or horror movie? I think it's comedy for Austin it's a horror movie. He's like, Jesus Christ, he just delivered my package and we hung out a couple times. I didn't know he was gonna be an insane guy. That's what that's that's the scary part about because I think if you if you made this from Austin's perspective, it's the scariest movie you've ever seen in your life.
SPEAKER_01:Um He just he pushes everything so far, and like because every time he was hanging out with Austin so many times, and then he he just has to keep pushing and pushing.
SPEAKER_00:I know, it's wild, and I think it's just because Austin became a role model to him so quickly and accepted him so quickly, and it's like you shouldn't have done that. There's rules. You we have to have rules. God, um yeah, I think it's uh it's definitely like a dramedy, but there's like some aspects of it where I was like, man, if this like was happening in my life, this is a horror movie. Like this is every anxiety I ever have coming out into a movie that somehow wasn't cringed out. There are some times where I was like, don't please just act normal in this situation.
SPEAKER_01:Like when he breaks into his house. Yeah. Well, I guess it's not breaking.
SPEAKER_00:That that was probably that was the part where I was like, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, get out of the house. And then you like figure out like the wife is still in the house sleeping, and you're just walking around strumming a guitar, cleaning a dish. Put on his clothes, yeah. Um, so I guess you know, we're we're we're midlife, I guess, right? Um, how do you make friends with people in your midlife? You just don't, I think. Just don't. It's just like you meet them at work like we did. Me and you met at work and we were forced to work together, and then we're like, 'cause wait a second, we're we're kind of cool guys together.
SPEAKER_01:That's it hardly ever works out that way. Yeah. Um you just kind of have to go out and do things that make you feel uncomfortable, and then you meet people who are doing the same thing. Yeah. So you can be uncomfortable together.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, right. It's like you almost gotta be forced, kind of like uh Craig in this movie where uh the wife was like, You get you're gonna go hang out with him. And he's like, The new Marvel. It's supposed to be totally nuts. And it's like, no, you have to go, and it's like, okay, and then you end up being kind of cool and chill with each other. Yeah. Because even in my 20s, there was um uh one of my friends from work. Uh, me and Natalie went to go hang out like New Year's Eve in Nashville with them. It's like where Kings of Leon was playing. And there was like her friend, my friend from work, uh, she had a friend that was a guy, and we had so many things in common. But you know what? We had no chemistry together whatsoever. Like everything in common, but it seemed like we might have had the exact same personality where it's like, I don't know how to make this work, guy. How do we just how is this supposed to disconnect? What where's our charisma together? And it's like there just never was any, and it's like ah I got painful.
SPEAKER_01:Wait until your um wife brings you to a party and then sits you down in front of another guy that the the two wives want you to be friends with. Yikes. Like their husbands, they want their husbands to be friends, and then you you're forced to sit there and make small talk, and then you accidentally crush someone's foot with your chair because you try to screw up, and then everything goes off the rails. People are dying by the end of the night.
SPEAKER_00:Jason, you did one thing. How did you make yourself?
SPEAKER_01:I guess kept over apologizing. I was like, I'm just going down this tunnel. I could see myself falling. Yeah. And I just can't stop it. It's like a train derailing.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, luckily, luckily, my wife would uh never put me in that situation. If anything, I'd be the one to put her in that situation just because I'm a little more uh, I guess like, hey, yeah, let's hang out. Like we went to your birthday. It's like like last year. That'd be something that, you know, we wouldn't usually do. And but I was like, hey Natalie, we're gonna go do this. And then but we don't really do anything awkward, we just kind of stand around quietly. Sure. Which is kind of what we did. No, that's fine. It's better than what we do. Which room is Jason in? Okay, let's just walk in that room. That's the one person I know. Okay, we're here now. Oh, Jason walked into the kitchen. Let's go to the kitchen.
SPEAKER_01:I think it's whenever you start to try to fill the silence with any the first thing that comes to your mind, that's the scary part. You never know what's gonna pop in there.
SPEAKER_00:That's usually where I start going wrong, is whenever I'm like, let's say I'm at work and I'm training a new guy. Then I sit there and then all of a sudden, like, oh, I've trained him on something a little bit, and then we kind of just stand and stand next to each other a little bit, and I'm like, am I supposed to fucking talk? And then I'm just rack my brain just thinking of something to say. And then I'm like it's almost like getting my hair cut, which I did yesterday. Nice. And the whole time I was sitting there, like, what do I bring up? What do I bring up? What can I say? And at that point, I'm like, you never think of anything because you're sitting here trying to think of something and panicking.
SPEAKER_01:It's not easy being sometimes I just go straight to murder like talking about murder.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, hey hair salas, you ever killed somebody with your chest?
SPEAKER_01:Oh, I did. I brought up he had all this sports stuff, and I'm not a I don't watch sports, so I was like, he was he brought up football, and I was like, Yeah, I didn't watch the game, but have you heard of Alex Hernandez? Yeah, Aaron Hernandez. Yeah, Aaron Hernandez for a while. Hey, that's it, yeah. But the other night I was uh star at a party. This guy we were sitting in silence, and I just thought that he needed to talk about the uh Jim Jones death tapes. You're like literally like the person people don't want to talk to at a party.
SPEAKER_00:It's like don't go sit next to him. He keeps talking about dead people.
SPEAKER_01:I was trying to talk about spooky stuff.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Um yeah, I guess I'm just like next time I get my hair cut, it's like, uh, have you ever heard of the demon barber on uh Fleet Street or whatever? Yeah, the Sweeney Todd movie. Just be like, I don't know any. You ever seen the movie Shampoo?
SPEAKER_01:Oh, the lady that cuts your hair is into um Broadway. So you could bring up Sweeney Todd. I bet she'd have a lot to say about it. Oh, cool. Yeah. Does she like movies? I don't know. But she likes uh stage performances and her son does uh performs in theater.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, that's cool. Now I just be like, man, I just wish I could get back on the stage, you know, and you're like, really? That's a random thing to say out of nowhere. All right, I have a couple more questions. Um Tammy, the mother in the movie.
SPEAKER_02:Is she actually alive?
SPEAKER_01:Or is this a movie about grief? I got that's what I got kind of uh You're actually I think so, because his son, she's always interacting with people.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I know. But there's just like a because it felt there's sometimes where I'm like, this is a movie about him getting over grief of his wife dying in some aspects of like the movie.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. So it's mainly the one where she's on with Austin on TV, and then he just he's looking at her, and then he just like falls down and cries. Or no, he's looking at the plant the flower when it he gets a call for Tammy's flower shop, and then he's looking at the flower she's trying to show him, and he's just like, Marvel's super sick, and then he like falls down and starts crying. And I'm like, is she actually dead in this movie?
SPEAKER_01:I don't think so, but you can never tell what's real in his life.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. All right, um, did you ever kiss your mom on the lips?
SPEAKER_01:No, yeah, I think I did on accident one time.
SPEAKER_00:Dude, when he when Steven goes, kisses his mom on the lips, and then he's like, See, y'all like kiss on the lips now? So great. It's like, damn, she's Tom Brady. He kisses his mom on the lips. No, he his son kisses him on the lips. Oh, and people made fun of him and called him a creep for that. It is a weird thing. Something so intimate about a kiss on the lips versus a kiss on the cheek makes sense.
SPEAKER_01:One of my favorite podcasts to listen to, they always end with kiss your dad square on the lips.
SPEAKER_00:Daddy kisser. Gang grumps, they always like uh they always have long-running uh episode arcs of just saying, come on, give daddy a kiss. It's like if I win this level, I'll kiss your dad on the lips. I know there's a bunch of bits. So um Andrew DeYoung is the director of this. This is his first feature film. Uh I will say, great job, Andrew DeYoung. But part of DeYoung's inspiration was his own friendship issues in real life. He explained a few years ago I had my own friendship issues that I was trying to resolve, and I realized that I'd never seen a breakup story about two middle-aged men. It's something that's happening all the time. It's tragic, but it's also deeply funny.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. It is. I mean, it's um.
SPEAKER_00:But usually I feel like when guys stop being friends, it's not as much as why aren't we hanging out more? Why aren't we doing this more? It's usually just like I feel like both guys kind of usually recognize it and they just kind of start inching away from each other. And then it's just this unspoken thing. Yeah, you just don't talk to each other anymore. Yeah. I feel like and then like every once in a while you'll like reconnect, but you know, it is what it is.
SPEAKER_01:And I think in this situation, uh, one of the parties is still in love with the other.
SPEAKER_00:Yep. Yep. He's it's um it's like fatal attraction for boys. Oh yeah, it is for friends. Um, so I guess the movie is kind of about spirit spiritual emptiness. I think that's the theme of the movie. And DeYoung wanted to really emphasize in the film saying that in today's society, Capital has replaced religion. Continued, I wanted to point to that and to the almost religious scrasp that companies like Marvel have on our culture, which is why. Have you seen the new Marvel? Because it's constantly like brought up throughout the whole film.
SPEAKER_01:I think there's two brand new Marvel movies in a year.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. And it was like throughout the movie, it's kind of bringing people together, but if you haven't seen it, you felt like shit, I haven't seen it. I can't be a part of this group right now because everybody's seen this one thing and I have no idea what it is. No spoilers. Calls them the Hulk. Get the fuck out. So during the scene between Craig uh and Patton in the garage, a print of Situation Room is visible on the wall. This photograph, taken on May 1st, 2011, shows President Barack Obama and his national security team receiving live updates from Operation Neptune Spear. The operation involved SEAL Team 6 and ultimately led to the killing of Osama bin Laden. Craig loves the fact that we got Osama. Dude, the line is like, and I'm gonna leave you with this. I don't think we should have pulled out of Afghanistan. I don't like the way we did it. Just those small little stupid lines. Well, it feels so real, is like that's this shit people just bring up randomly. It's like sitting and talking to people at work. It's like all of a sudden it's like, why are we talking about this thing randomly? Why did you just bring that up around me? You think I know about this stuff? Been there. Yeah. Um, and despite the film being a comedy, DeYoung wanted to wanted the audience to feel did not want the audience to feel safe and or settled.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, it's it worked.
SPEAKER_00:Finally, to emphasize that uneasy feeling, the filmmaker used as much natural natural lighting as possible. In fact, they took inspiration from a 2018 psychological thriller, Burning. It's a foreign film. In particular, they looked to a scene where the characters in that film are sitting outside at the sunset. We were reaching for something similar and to bring it in and to bring it into a comedy where everybody's guard is down, said Dion. So I think that was very successful because it did not look like a comedy. No, it felt like a movie A24 movie. And it was successful.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I felt like it was always dark. I don't know where they're supposed to be living. Probably like Seattle. Yeah. I don't know.
SPEAKER_00:Oh uh uh well I know they filmed it in upstate New York during February to make it as cold as possible while filming. So just yeah. And because that's the thing, like upstate New York, it's like let's say the Buffalo Bills. You know, that's upstate New York. They're like the only actual true Buff New York team because the other two New York teams play in New Jersey. Ironic. Yeah, the Giants and Jets, they're stadiums in New Jersey. That has nothing to do with any. But I was thinking like when people talk about getting free agents during the offseason to come to Buffalo, it's not really a pleasant like not a lot of people are like, yeah, I want to go to that cold ass state where there's nothing really around. Um, like people like to go to like Miami and stuff like that, because it's probably way better to be at year round.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, you're probably right. Or like being in Canada, like the Toronto teams. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:It's like, ooh. Yikes. Don't want to go there.
SPEAKER_01:At least they're you know, polite up there.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Alright, man.
SPEAKER_00:That's all the facts I got. I think we should hop into the plot. Okay. But before we do that, we'd like you to think what the point of the movie is. Why did they make this film? And if you have any ideas, uh in our description we have a link at the top, which says send us some fan mail. If you can't click that, at the very bottom of the description is our email where you can send us some fan mail. It's we recommend moo we recommend mailbag at gmail.com. And maybe one fucking day I'll get the email right, even though I say it five times during an episode. We'll find out later. All right, Jason, you ready? Yeah. Friendship 2024. All right, so the film opens at a group therapy session. Ever been to one? Uh yeah. Sucks. Yeah, I've never been to one, never want to go to one. Hope I don't have to. Craig Waterman and his wife, Tammy, are in attendance. Tammy discusses being cancer free for the past six months and how she is trying to get her life back in order. She's scared it might not come back. And Ted Craig's like, it's coming back. Um, she says she has rekindled her friendship with her ex Devin. Bum, boom, boom. She mentions certain issues like not remembering when she had her last orgasm. Craig chimes in and says that things are going good, and that I'm having no problems orgasming. It's just like, that's not the retort you should have to that. That makes you seem like you don't care about your life. It's just like so they the director wanted to pick picked um Kate Mara because she doesn't usually do comedies, so she wanted a more serious actor. So and I just love that they kind of give her con comedic lines, but she plays it so straight that it does not feel comedic, right?
SPEAKER_01:She's survived cancer, she doesn't give a fuck about you anymore. Yeah, she wants to live.
SPEAKER_00:But it's just like, did you really have to tell this whole audience that you're not orgasming why your husband's sitting right next to you? It's like, could you give like a little bit more, like uh tell them a little bit more about why you're not orgasming? So uh Craig works as a marketing executive and oh, this is in Colorado in Clovis, Colorado, while Tammy runs a flower shop with her son Steve. Stevie. Under her employment, Craig and Stevie are not as close as he is with Tammy. And we'll find out it's a bit uncomfortably close. Uh Tammy tells him that the mail carrier brought them the wrong package package, so he goes to the home of his neighbor, Austin Carmichael, or Paul Rudd, or Brian Fantana. Yeah, because it's like a toned-down version of Brian Fantana's. I mean, they have like a uh they sing uh my boo just kind of like randomly at a party with a bunch of guy friends, like they sing um Afternoon Delight in Anchor Mesh. Um, yeah, so he's gonna go deliver it to Austin. Craig and Austin strike up a rapport before he goes back to his house. We also learn that um Craig is moving. There's like a weird part where it kind of gives you the um so while he's walking to Austin's house, right? He gets a phone call from work. He says, I'm actually right in the parking lot right now. And it's just it just goes to show like how he just says stuff without realizing how insane he is. Because it's like, what are you talking about? You're at your house, you're going to someone's house, you're still gonna have to go back to your own house, get in your car, then drive all the way there. And what are they gonna be like? How long have you been in the parking lot? It's kind of like an insight on who this guy is. So Craig goes to work and pours a full mug. Full mug coming through. Full mug coming through. Everybody can it's so dumb. I love it. Uh Craig goes home and Tammy is complaining about needing a bigger car. Um Tammy arranged oh, but like with a full coffee coffee cup, he gets into the room and he's just like, he's trying so hard not to spill any of it.
SPEAKER_01:It kind of looks like he's just can't wait for his first sip of the day. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:It's like, I can't spill it. I can't spill it on front. Because he knows if he spills it, he's just gonna be like, fuck.
SPEAKER_01:He puts himself in these situations.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it's just like, dude, you don't need that big of a cup. You can just pour it like two-thirds full and then go back and get more later after the meeting. Um, yeah, so Tammy arranges for Craig and Austin to hang out, even though Craig wants to see the new Marvel. That's totally nuts. Um, and we learn Tammy is having dinner with Devon, her ex.
SPEAKER_01:Ex-boyfriend.
SPEAKER_00:Yes. Totally normal, totally not something to be weirded out by. It's like, wait, so you're hanging out with him a lot? Please tell me he's not a hunky. Oh, he's a hunky dude? He's a firefighter. He's a firefighter. Of course. You know, those guys don't have a reputation of just pulling chicks easily. Yeah. I think they do actually. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:They're a really uh high divorce rate as well. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, because they have to spend like 48 hours at their job and then or like they spend twenty-four total hours at their job day and night, and then they get like forty-eight hours off. Kind of seems nice. Especially because if there is no fires, you kind of just hanging out.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, uh friend does it and he would he went to school while he was working. He'd be like studying and doing all kinds of stuff, and they they cook first took huge meals for each other.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, they have they have like a set of chores and stuff that they like rotate. It's kind of like uh when you have a house full of like 10 to 12 kids, you know, you have like a chores. Yeah. Um, and then we see Steven kisses Tammy on the lips. And Craig's like, Y'all kiss each other on the lips when you start doing that. Can we have a conversation about that? So Craig goes to Austin's house where they have beers, and Austin tells Craig about his career as a local meteorologist, and he's like, I knew I knew you from somewhere. Craig has a job that makes people addicted to apps, and like he could tell that Austin, like he explains the whole situation. It's like kind of cool. And then Austin's like, that's kind of shitty. He's like, Yeah, it fucking sucks. After he was so excited explaining it.
SPEAKER_01:He's someone that you just can't help but hate. Like someone who does that.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Cause it's like, oh luck, yeah. I mean, luckily, I'm not too addicted to any apps anymore. There was like a game I was addicted to a little bit on my phone, but not anymore. So he also shows Craig an old fossil and real relays his own words of wisdom, which gives credit. Craig, a nosebleed. Because he's like looking at it, says his profound like ideology, and then he starts nosebleed.
SPEAKER_01:Maybe that happens every time he thinks real hard. Well, I think he's like That's why he never does.
SPEAKER_00:He I don't I don't know why it's a nosebleed.
SPEAKER_01:I guess he's just like overwhelmed with emotion.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, overwhelmed with like, oh whoa, I've never thought about this so hard. And it's affected me so much it's bleeding out of my nose. I feel like when he gets really excited, he starts to get nosebleeds. Um, and then oh, this leads Austin to bring Craig into the sewers and leads him through tunnels that take them to City Hall. They go into the rooftop and smoke a herbal cigarette. Um, a lot of great lines though, through here. He's like, It's not cannabis. He's walking through the sewer, he's like, oh, my shoes, fuck. Oh, looks like OVD's gonna get uh some more money out of me. He's like, what's that? It's like Ocean View Dining. They have shoes. Like everything I wear is Ocean's View Dining. It's like this, they have a great fall collection coming out. And also, they sell TV dinners. It's like, what? And it's like the most um well, what are they taupe like color set possible? It's like they have no colors. Um, and I have a feeling that Craig is actually colorblind in this movie. Oh, maybe later he gets drums and he gets your green drums, and he's like, it's the same color as your guitar, and his guitar is like burnt orange. So I think he has no idea what color is colorblind, I just never knew it. Whereas like he's looking at this and he's like, Oh, this all looks pretty bright and fantastic, and it's not. Which might be a reason that he does not enjoy the flowers like Tammy does. Yeah, maybe. Yeah. So um, and then also a lot. Um, like when they're gonna jump over that little ledge, he has to get up and he starts pulling him, he's just screaming and stuff. That shit that Tim Robinson does is so funny to me. Just overreacting in the stupidest and smallest situation, it it cuts to my core of like everything that I find funny.
SPEAKER_01:Like when he forgets how to drive.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Oh, in the sketch, yeah. Do you know what you're doing? It's like I don't. I have no idea what I'm doing. Could you help me? Um, and then he loses a shoe, so he's definitely and then he's like, ah, we'll come back and get it later. It's like, you're just gonna walk through the sewer with one shoe.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, it's gross.
SPEAKER_00:Of it that they walk into they walk into the city hall and then it's got a cutout of a guy, and he likes I thought that was a guy. Just he says he just he just says things in the strangest ways. It's wild. It's like I would have never thought to say something like that. I thought that was a guy. Um, Craig expresses his philosophy while smoking the joint of just ask in regards to getting ahead in life, which Austin takes to art regarding his own ambitions. He's like, because he talks about, yeah, I just all I did was just ask and I got a promotion. He's like, that's what you should do. And then they like then Craig's like, woo off the top of the thing. It's like he's free. He like unlocked a part of them that felt so new and so fresh.
SPEAKER_01:Like he helped, he actually helped someone that that likes him a little bit.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, someone that's like cooler than him who's able to. Yeah, because Austin gave him some of his uh philosophy and he gave some of his own philosophy, and it's like they bonded. So we see, then see Craig watching Austin do the weather with a big smile on his face. I love it. It's like uh oh Craig takes Tammy to see Austin perform with his band and fantasizes about being his drummer.
SPEAKER_01:And it isn't the band called like the mayor sucks or like the guy that's running for.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, because it's like on his drum, the drum set. Do you ever, whenever you listen to music, like fantasize playing it as like a band?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I guess so. I've done that before.
SPEAKER_00:I it's so weird. I guess because I did it so much in high school, because you know, I wish I was better with music and could play instruments, and I've attempted to play guitar and bass so much while I was like in junior high and high school, and I just tension span, obviously didn't have it, but also I just did not understand how music works and still don't. Um but like I always they always did like American Idol, but in high school and or like you know, battle the bands in high school. So, still to this day, when I think listen to music, I always fantasize about it me being in high school playing it.
SPEAKER_01:The high school concert.
SPEAKER_00:And I'm just like, grow up, Jesse. Mentally, you have to grow up from this fantasy. Hey, it's it sounds like it's a dream. But like I feel like that's such a Craig thing, though, of just like I've always wanted to be cool in front of people in a band. So weird. Oh, so Austin calls during a meeting and convinces Craig to ditch work to hang out. Uh when we see them, they pick mushrooms and Austin convince him to play the drums. Then Craig sinks into mud.
SPEAKER_03:It just starts singing fucking good. And it's helped help me.
SPEAKER_00:It's so and then you just got Austin just staring at him like, what the fuck is this guy screaming for? But what's so frustrating is that Craig acts so insane in these situations, but no one like does this thing, like what the hell is wrong with you? Why are you screaming? Shut up, you're just sinking. They all just kind of like stare at him like he's an animal in the zoo almost.
SPEAKER_01:It's just overreacting.
SPEAKER_00:And it's just like, is this a normal way for like do people just know a lot of people that act like this? Because if that happened to me, I'd be like, all right, man, like that was really weird. Why did you freak out like that? You just sunk in some mud. They'd be like, maybe we shouldn't hang out anymore. Like I'm calling it cuts right right there. Um then he realizes he dropped his phone. Oh, dude, call that.
SPEAKER_01:Call the phone. Oh shit.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, but then his then dude lies. Yeah, and then Austin's like, yeah, uh I don't have a phone. I don't have a phone. It's like I'm looking at a free man right here, and then Craig's just gives him this big smile, like, oh, what a way to look at life.
SPEAKER_01:Except he's a big fat liar that lies.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, he's a big fat liar. Like that one girl on hereditary. Um, so Austin shows Craig a yellow corvette and tells him that if he gets it, then Craig gets to be the first riding in it. He's like, hell yeah, that's my best friend. It's gonna be a cool car. Austin tells Craig that he listened to his just ask advice and is now set to begin his new job as a weatherman for the morning news. Nice. He's like, I did it. I helped my Fred. Now he's like fully, fully invested in the friendship. So Craig sees their friendship as a turning point in his life, leading him to having weird daydreams where he becomes a heroic figure in Austin's life. And also in a hypothetical apocalyptic scenario that he envisions, civilization has crashed and Craig has led us to the future. He's thinking of a Marvel movie. But he's just bringing him wood. Yeah, just brought some wood. That's it.
SPEAKER_01:Saved everything.
SPEAKER_00:At home, Craig also starts to pay more attention to Tammy and Steve. Um, he like wakes up and he's like, Hey Tammy, can I wake you up with a lick? Yeah, but he's making breakfast. Yeah, and it's like, what do you think you're gonna have to just have like frying mushrooms, and you're thinking, yeah, I have time to give you oral sex? Also, most disgusting way to say that. Hey, can I wake you up with a lick? And then also just seeing like Tim Tim Robinson being the one that says it's like even like this character, Craig, is like, ugh, I don't want Craig to wake me up with a lick. Um, and so then like we see that he's making like mushroom toasts because of Austin. Um, he goes on a walk, he picks some flowers, now he listens to punk because he like they comes in and he's just like listen to punk music. She Tammy's like, you don't listen to music. He's like, Yeah, I do. I do now. Which uh kind of also gave me like the heebie jeepies, because you know, I usually don't listen to music, I listen mostly podcasts. So I'm like, oh no, am I actually fucking Craig? This is starting to get awkward.
SPEAKER_01:Well, it's do you ever have that friend that just tried too hard? Or that person that tried too hard to be your friend? It's sad.
SPEAKER_00:No, um trying too hard to be my friend. No, not really, I guess. I've never ran into that situation, but I've always had like few friends. And usually it's like the friends that I have are the ones that are like you're my friends because you're normal and I like I like the way we hang out. If someone was ever like too aggressively friends with me, I'd just probably ghost them.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it's scary.
SPEAKER_02:Um, I lost my place.
SPEAKER_00:Uh oh yeah, and uh so yeah. So Austin decides to invite Craig over to his house to hang out with his friend group. Hate this. As soon as I saw this, I was like, this isn't gonna work out. Um he starts it starts a little rough when he walks into a glass door. But he plays it off so well. And it doesn't break till after he goes inside because he walks in, closes it, and he's like, everybody's like, Are you okay? And they're just staring at him and he's like, So how'd you guys all meet? And then it like works, it's hilarious. And it would have been a great night, probably from then, but then the glass breaks. Or did the glass break? Then he said, How did y'all meet? The glass broke first. Yeah. That kind of broke the tension. Yeah. Instead of an icebreaker, it was a glass breaker. Didn't so um everything goes well at first. Uh, with the group doing a sing along to my boo. Cringy and random as hell. That was the most cringy part. When they broke out the song, I was like, ugh, I would leave.
SPEAKER_01:And they're having like an emotional support group session. Yeah. Like it's so over the top.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it's so weird. Because uh I think his name is Gary's talking about how it's like he's like, it's so rough because you know, uh, I have to buy a bra from like my daughter, and she's got big boobs. It's so weird. Everybody's gonna look at her.
SPEAKER_01:Everyone's so slated to each other. It's like, it's like you've never seen people that are this close friends.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, because I was gonna say, usually at a group of guys, they're all just being as mean as possible to each other the entire fucking year. Yeah, you're ripping, you're ripping each other all the time. It's like never nice towards each other. It's like, you know, we could just be normal friends. Um, so then things take a turn when the guys gather in Austin's basement for a friendly round of boxing. No. No. I would if I was Craig, I'd be like, you know, I'll sit the side. I don't want to get hit in the head.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I don't like him punched. And it's just like no, Craig.
SPEAKER_00:And then Craig immediately takes two shots to the face after saying, Don't hit me in the face. Then at this point, I'm like, you know what? Fuck Austin. Yeah. It's like, yeah, you hit him in the nose twice, kind of hard. Why are you doing that? Hit him on the sides of his heads. That's why you got the things on. Why put the things like the head shield on if you're just gonna keep punching him in the nose?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, that was pretty fucked up.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. And then uh, but then Austin, he gets Austin with two sucker punches, and now everybody's very ugly. And it's just like, dude, he hit you on the sides of the head. He didn't even hit you in the nose. I feel like I've been in this situation before. Man, when I was little, me and one of my cousins, like, they had boxing gloves, like for whatever reason at my aunt's, and we would just go fucking ham. But like we're so small and the gloves are so big and never hurt. So it's just like we're just essentially slapping each other with gloves.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, me and my brother had sparring gear from when we took taekwondo for uh one semester in school.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:It was rad.
SPEAKER_00:Did you ever want to be a boxer?
SPEAKER_01:Not really. I did like fighting though. I did, I didn't punching.
SPEAKER_00:I always wanted to be a boxer. That's why I like the Rocky movies so much. Yeah. Even as I think I was like eight wanting to be a boxer. Hell yeah, dude. Um then I grew up and realized You got a good reach. You got long arms. I can't, I'm I won't I don't want to be get hit in the face. Especially by those big boys. Yeah. Luckily, they I wouldn't be with any big boys. I'd be with the Walter White class. The featherweight or whatever. Um, so yeah, the other guys become uncomfortable around Craig. He tries to pass it off as a harmless gag, and then uh does the most fucking insane thing possible and begins to chew on a bar of soap for soap punishment. All right, guys, I know what to do. I've been a bad boy. And then the group's just like, fuck this shit. We're calling it a night. And the other guys quickly hate Craig so much.
SPEAKER_01:Cringe. One guy's like, fuck you, cringe. Fuck you, you cock. Yeah, go suck a cock. Yes.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, that's yeah, because that's when you just like go home and you never talk to any of them ever again. Yep. And you're just like, I'm just gonna go watch Marvels. I hear it's totally crazy this time. So uh Craig tries to get back in touch with Austin, but he's getting iced out. He visits Austin at his job and causes him to stumble during the first major broadcast. Because he goes in and just like makes a little flub. And then like a little bit later, they uh like the news anchor woman comes up, it's like, don't fuck up again.
SPEAKER_01:Um his new job. He's he's blaming it all on Craig.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, well, it's because he saw him and he's like, Oh shit, why is he here? This guy's gonna do something fucking insane and ruin this all. And he quickly does. He uh talks about wanting to go to the some sort of restaurant and have the SEAL team six lunch, just like calories, and it's like no one could ever finish it. But apparently it's the exact meal they ate whenever after killing Osama bin Laden. Oh man, could you imagine how good that would taste? Ugh, just like having the blood of Osama bin Laden on your hands and then going and Denny's or something, yeah. Waffle house, get the all-star. Anyone got any more that uh Osama bin Laden blood to put on this?
SPEAKER_01:Do you just liquefy an American flag and feed it to me?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. And then uh this little kid comes in up in a golfing act, a golfing, a golf fake outfit. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_01:Ohfer's outfit.
SPEAKER_00:Why is he wearing that? It's just so funny. What what's like the full quote?
SPEAKER_01:Uh uh, you're trying to be a little doll.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it's like, oh, are you trying to be a little doll? You want a doll? It's like, oh, you look like a little doll. Do you want to go for a walk and smoke a cigarette, little doll? It's like what? Why is that what you thought about saying to this kid? What? Like the kid apparent with him is like, let's just get the fuck out of here. This is weird. Um, Austin tells him to leave because he's under a lot of pressure. Craig finds out Austin has a phone. He's like, Oh yeah, of course I have a fucking phone. Immediately runs to get a new phone. Cashier tells him to let him know if he wants something more than just a few drinks. Yeah. Cause he's like, um Yeah, he wants to hang out with them. Yeah, he immediately made a he it was it's essentially like a rebound, right? He's looking for a rebound. He kind of knows, like, oh, this one's on the way out. So he just the first person that talks to him and shows a little bit of interest, but he and he, you know, he's just like, because they get the same case and stuff. He's like, oh, we're like twins, and he's like, I don't know, cashier's a little nice to him, and he's like, You want to go get us a couple of drinks? He's like, I'm 18. Oh, it's like, you know, it's like with girls these days, they're 18 and look 25. I guess it's the other way around with the guys. And then the cashier's like, okay. It's like I didn't like that comment at all. Oh, wow. Um, and then at home, Craig's new drum set comes in. Craig brings the set of drums that he ordered to Austin's house so they can jam together. Austin explicitly tells him that he no longer wishes to be friends with Craig. Friday night was really strange for me and the guys. Uh, I don't wish to continue this friendship at the moment.
SPEAKER_01:That was really funny. I have the same carrier, the hate the little thing he was carrying out his drums in. Oh, really? We have that same one. We use it for like soccer games and stuff, football games, carry all our blankets and shit.
SPEAKER_00:Wow, you know, actually, it's kind of weird. I remember you bringing a drum set to my house and me being like, don't do this. Um, and he gets defensive and says that Austin and his friends accepted him too fast. It's like, there's rules. You can't just accept me like that. That's such a thing. Yeah. Like if you're a weird guy, and then all of a sudden it's like, it's like I'm weird, I get excited easily, I kind of can't control what I say and do. And then you guys just immediately made me feel like one of the guys. And so I acted like myself and I came off insane. Yeah. Like you can't do that to me. I'm not supposed to can't do that to people.
SPEAKER_01:Because those aren't the rules, because he the rules he's talking about are like his own rules that he's learned to live by, right?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Yeah. It's like he thinks everybody should like kind of be go by his own rules instead of what the social norms are, right? And it's like he can't understand like the difference between he doesn't get why he's so weird compared to like why everybody else is thinks he's weird. I don't know. That's sad. And uh during this whole scene, Austin is dressed for a Renaissance festival in winter. It's winter and he's gonna go to a Renaissance festival. We'll find out soon. There might not have been a Renaissance festival. So Craig watches Austin's weather report. That was a prank from the studios because there was no Renaissance Festival. Also, um so this is I think the second or third time I watched it. I think it was only second. Um something I noticed is when he's watching that on his phone, next to Austin is a subway ad. Oh shit. Yeah, on his phone. So I'm like, um now I get why he does a subway thing later, and Austin is a part of it.
SPEAKER_01:It's so weird to bring subway into it. I know.
SPEAKER_00:It's just like, why? Um so Craig tries specifically Subway.
SPEAKER_01:I think it's because he saw the ad on his phone.
SPEAKER_00:I know of it while he was watching Austin. And like his trip because of the way well, we'll get there.
unknown:Okay.
SPEAKER_00:So Craig tries to fill the void in his life by trying to bond with Stevie. He takes him to look for mushrooms like Austin, but the ones Craig picks makes him sick at the mall.
SPEAKER_01:I have no idea what he's doing. So they're just sitting at the mall.
SPEAKER_00:He's sitting at the mall, and there's a guy on this little pig thing that drives by, and they're sitting there, and it's so all awkward. And he doesn't know what to say to his son, so he's like just like randomly, that guy on the pig was flying, immediately throws up, and it's just uh I don't know why that line it it it kind of when I watch it, it like it makes me laugh to the point of tearing up. I'm like, why is it so funny? God, that pig was flying. It's you know what I think it is. I think it's because they let that because that happens. It's so fucking weird that there's a grown adult on this pig. And then like they just kind of sit there in the situation of the awkwardness of the two of them trying to like hang out. Then it's just like in your own mind, you're like, why the fuck was that pig guy on that pig? That was so weird. And then he brings it up, but in the in a way that's like insane, like he was going as slow as possible. It took like five seconds to cross your screen. I don't know. I'm explaining jokes, isn't that fun?
SPEAKER_01:The thing was freaking weird.
SPEAKER_00:That was so good.
SPEAKER_01:They have that in uh malls now.
SPEAKER_00:Really? Yeah, if you go to the National Malls, there's like there's like weird little carts that you can ride on. There's like horses, some are like cars, some are like I think one's a transformer in the National One. That's right. So also tries to invite his own co-workers over for a guy's night out of his place. Um, because he's like throughout the movie, he sees he looks down on them at the office while they're all having smoke breaks. So he decides to go outside and have a smoke break. He's like, uh, everybody having a smoke break, I see. Anyone want to white? Anybody want to white? He didn't smoke before Austin gave him a cigarette. Yeah, he just wanted to be. I don't think he actually still smokes. I think he just has them for social norms now. He's like, all right, my house, 8 p.m. Friday, beer's in the fridge, let's go. People are like, What? We don't want to go there. And so they all go and they're all extremely bored. Uh Craig pulls out a letter opener or something and says it's a priceless knight's sword. But they did have those little swords, though. That that is an actual weapon. They had like tiny, it was essentially like knives. Okay. But they would they would have it as like, oh, you have your big sword, and then I guess you can kind of like get up in close, and then if you kind of got them backed up, you stab them with your other sword and your your tiny little sword in your right hand. I don't know. It's it's so funny. So it's like he's completely right. He's just calling it a sword. So it sounds stupid. If he said, hey, I got this like little like night dagger, it was like he had a cool story there with it, but he said he was like, This is a knight's sword, isn't it cool? And it's like, just call it a knight's dagger, and it would have been cool. Um, but they're all like making fun of it, and then his coworkers start talking about spoilers for the new Marvel, which upsets Craig. So I haven't seen it. We can't talk about it. It's a spoiler-free zone. Although he tries to show off his drum skills, he aggressively ends up kicking the other guys out of the house when they call him the Hulk. He's like, Oh, are you get the fuck out of here? I told you not to bring up Marvel. It's so good.
SPEAKER_01:He's like, I think that's a spoiler. Yeah, he just called him the Hulk. This Hulk played drums in the Marvel movie.
SPEAKER_00:And it feels like he doesn't really understand that they're making fun of him. It feels like he's just really upset about the Marvel situation, not the fact that they've made fun of him probably for 45 straight minutes. Um, so next day, Craig gets stuck out in the rain because of his co-workers, and then he gets an assignment with the mayor, and he's like, Do you want anybody to work with you? He's like, No, I'll handle this one on my own because he knows they're all assholes. That's a lot of work. Though I will say, you know, Craig uh probably kind of deserves to have some people be assholes too.
SPEAKER_01:But he also had someone create a backup presentation. Yeah. Okay, because he knew that Craig was gonna fuck it all.
SPEAKER_00:And Craig's was way better than his.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, that's true.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. So another piece of mail from Austin arrives at Craig's home and he gets a nosebleed. So he goes to deliver it. However, he knows that Austin and his wife, Bianca, might react poorly to his presence, so he breaks into the house by going into the window he already broke. Yeah. So um he goes in, he's he looks at an apple, and he's like, Huh, an apple. Uh he sits on the couch, puts his feet up on the coffee table, he strums a guitar, um, and then cleans a dish. Yeah, he does their dishes. Like, what? Why?
SPEAKER_01:It's helping out.
SPEAKER_00:And he's so happy he's smiling while doing it and looking at it like, oh, this is how they do it.
SPEAKER_01:He's like because he's pretending to be Austin.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it's so day in the life. Um, and he goes up to Austin's home office and takes out a golden pistol. Storms are coming that he kept hidden. He then takes a work call, and then like he's taking the call with the mayor, and then all of a sudden, like he's hearing noises, and and fucking Craig's wife is there. Or Austin's wife is just was taking a nap. He's like, I heard someone knock on the back door, and uh so Craig makes his exit, but he accidentally takes the gun and mail back with him. Uh the wife was there the whole fucking time, man.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, so was that wait, no that wasn't the sword that he had because he already had the sword. Yeah, he already did the sword bit. It probably was something like that.
SPEAKER_00:Another and the whole reason he pulled out like the sword earlier is because he thought it'd be cool because Austin pulled out all his cool stuff.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, the axe head. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Um, so Tammy tells Craig that it's Austin and Bianca's housewarming party, and Craig pretends to take a call saying because he doesn't want to go, and then like Tammy starts getting upset. Um uh and then Craig pretends to take a call saying that Bianca has a really bad case of diarrhea. He then weirdly creeps on uh Tammy uh while she looks frustrated into the microwave. Because you know it's that part where he like keeps coming around the corner, just like staring down staring at her like a madman. Oh yeah, and then she's like insane person. And then he like kind of walks away again, but then kind of comes back and stares at her some more, and then he's like, Let's go on an adventure. Oh shit.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, because you know she's thinking about Devin.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and because he he he like he like Tammy wants to do new stuff, like that's something like they want to do something new, like get a new car, yeah. Uh but then so he's like, Oh, all right, I'll do something spontaneous. So Craig invites Tammy to go exploring the sewers like he did with Austin. And so they make it into the sewers. Tammy is not enjoying herself and is constantly saying she doesn't want to do it. So they're walking through urine and PCs and it's like y'all should wear mutters. Um so they get into a fight at the jump where Craig struggled earlier with Austin uh to make, and he and then all of a sudden he starts kind of yelling at her. It's like he says she always complains about not doing anything new, and now that they get have are given the chance to do it, she's not giving it a chance at all, right? And so he just like screams at her, it's like you want to do something new? Well, here's something new, so give it a shot. And then she's like, so it's like go on ahead of me, I'll be right there.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, that was an insane thing to do.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Um so it's like, you know, there's a little bit where I get it, it's like, hey, like I'm you're obviously Tammy, you're bored in the relationship with me. You want to do new stuff. This is something new, and now you don't want to even try it and you're complaining the whole time. Get it at that point, but you yelled at her, and obviously this is a gross thing to do because you're walking through the seer sewers. But here's where I have issues with Tammy for real, is that he does say, like, go all go ahead of me a little bit and I'll be right there. And then she walks. Does she just keep walking in the dark? What the hell is she doing? Yeah, I know. Just sit there and wait for him. Um, she's she's upset. She goes in while he tries to make the jump and loses his flashlight. Before they make it to the city hall, Craig loses sight of Tammy and she is seemingly disappears. Like, why go that far? I mean, to the point where she can't even hear you. Yeah, that's insane. Why did she walk like that? She was pissed. Yeah. Yeah, you do really weird things when you're mad. Yeah. It's like, you know what? I don't care if I die. I'm just gonna go this way.
SPEAKER_01:Pent up.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. So um, yeah, Craig goes back home. Um back at home, the police go to Craig's house since Austin knows that he broke into his house earlier. Uh because Austin keeps going up. I know you fucking broke into my house. It's so weird. Oh, I guess because they uh they um used it to sniff to see where it led. You don't bring a dog for something like that. He's like, Yeah, this dog uh led us straight to here. He's like, so the same person probably broke into my house. He's like, no. And then every time Austin gets aggressive and comes forward, it's like, hold him back. I paid good tax dollars for you to hold him back. Do your job, you pigs. And he calls them pigs because Austin called him pigs once. Um, and then all of a sudden he brings up the uh fact that Tammy has disappeared in the sewers. And then uh, so Craig leads the police to the sewers and let it slip that he and Austin were trespassing to City Hall, and they're like, trespassing, huh? This is illegal. And it's like, hey, there's a missing person here who cares about this, right?
SPEAKER_01:And so he's also burying himself constantly.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and then like they're starting to scream at each other, and he starts calling uh they're got they ended up arresting him. It's like, he caught you fucking pigs, arrest him, not me. Just screaming. It's so good. So the two are gelled for the night. We see uh Craig watching I pee, and there's urine all over the floor. Uh Austin is freaking out on Craig. He slips and accidentally slips in pee and accidentally reveals that he wears a toupee. Falls off. He's like, is it on? Is it on okay? And like Craig can't even look at him. He's like, yeah. It's just like he like exposed himself too. He's like, I can't I can't look. Can't look. It's so good. Just uh he puts like the perfect face on for that. It's so funny. Um and he begs Craig not to let anybody know because it could easily seriously affect his career. Um and then the two are soon let out on bail. Uh Craig gets home. Steven had a girl stay the night. You replaced your mother already, huh?
SPEAKER_02:Yikes!
SPEAKER_01:He's like, I'm just gonna congratulations.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. So Steven is mad that Craig is still going to work instead of looking for her. It's just like insane that you're not just gonna be like, hey, I can't do the pitch. I'm sorry. Uh have someone else do my pitch for me. I have to like sit here and wait for my wife to get home. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:And everybody knows his wife is missing because he gets mad at work. It's like, don't worry about him, his wife's missing. Yeah. Like he should have said, take the day off.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:We got to do it. Exactly.
SPEAKER_00:It's like, you're not coming in. I'm sorry. You're already in psychopath, okay? Um, Craig looks at a flower that reminds him of Tammy, he falls to the floor crying, and it's like, oh, there is a human being in this man. Um, but he's very narcissistic, so it's like the first time we see him not really being super narcissistic.
SPEAKER_01:And that's why his nose bleeds.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. So Craig returns to work where he's set to give a pitch to Mayor Seth Nichols. Um, and his pitch is meet your next new best bestie. Um when which was a good idea. I actually thought it was a legit, like good idea. It's like, oh yeah, you can go and you can like talk to the mayor easily and it's like voice your concerns and you can have chats with him. It's like a good idea. You know, it's stupid, and probably no one would probably actually do it, and it would just be a bunch of interns riding you back. Yeah. But you know, it's a good idea for a but then like one of the assholes that uh he works with, um, but does his like superhero pitch. It's like you're a superhero, and it's like the whole Marvel thing that's been letting is like, oh, it's this, it's this cultural thing that everybody loves, and it's like everybody responds to superheroes. Um, so uh yeah, and because uh Nichols really likes his pick pick, uh Craig flies off the handle and rants towards the mayor, leading him to get fired. Coward big fuck! I'm gonna beat the shit out of you. Like they pick him up. Don't pick me up. This is embarrassing. Watch out for my chair! Watch out for my chair, don't pick my chair. The water spills, you spilled water, you spilled water. It's gonna be a nightmare for me to edit. I'm just gonna leave it to sound terrible. I don't care. Ah, I love that shit. What he's just acting insane, and everything that's happening around him, he just yells about.
SPEAKER_01:Because he can't take any responsibility for us.
SPEAKER_00:He does that like in a lot of his like his skits, and it's so good. Um, so but uh before he leaves the office, he gets a phone call to let him know that Tammy has been found and returned home alive but a bit distressed. Like, uh, where the fuck was she though? Right?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. The sewer system must be very elaborate.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. And he like goes there, Stevie gives her like some tea, and he sits down. He's like, Oh, what type of tea did he give you? It's like, what? And then she's like, I'm gonna go change. And it's like, you should probably shower. I don't see why you didn't shower already.
SPEAKER_01:Go get ready for a party we're having tomorrow.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and it's like, how did you already immediately know about this party?
SPEAKER_01:She's the one who's throwing.
SPEAKER_00:Yes. So they have a welcome home party for Tammy at their house, which is attended by many of their close friends, including Austin, and Bianca. Bianca. Bianca. All right, yeah. So um I just wanted to make sure I get to the quote. Uh so then he's in uh Craig's in his uh garage, he's with his drums, and then one of the grass berates Craig for supposedly abandoning his wife and not doing enough to get her back. Probably the best part of the whole movie. Because they come, and he's like, hey man, I'm sorry, is there a bathroom around? It's like, hey man, you're the husband, right? Yeah, yeah, I'm Craig Waterman. This is my house. Cool, cool. The bathroom's right there. Oh, awesome. Thanks. Yeah, dude, cool drums, man. Oh yeah, thanks. They're fucking awesome. You don't really see a lot of green things. It's from the 70s, that's a cool desk cave. Lots of good music. Ha ha ha. Absolutely, yeah. Yeah, but we uh but we came back, right? Hey, I gotta ask you, man, how does it feel? I would have Tammy back. It's honestly uh an incredible leaf. Yeah, how does it feel to ditch your wife? You can't use my fucking toilet! You know what I would do? I would look at your wife and say, oh my god, I would love just to even be a non-sexual partner with her. You know what I mean? Like in business or something like that. I would never say, hey, come into the sewer so I can fucking kill you. I didn't try to kill her in the sewer. It was an adventure. You should be dead. You shouldn't be alive. You don't know me. Get the fuck out of here. Hey, hey, don't do that. Fuck you, you fucking piece of shit. And she's so beautiful. Get the fuck out of my garage. Fuck you, fuck you, Saka. Who are you? It's uh it's it's maybe like the best like two minutes in film history, right? So good.
SPEAKER_01:It's ridiculous. Why does everyone think that he tried to kill her?
SPEAKER_00:Because why would you take anybody to the sewer? And then, like, how did y'all get separated? Why is this happening? I'm sure he could have explained it. It's like, I don't know. We had a fight, she walked off, and for some reason, with no light, just kept walking and did not turn around once. Yeah, that's not him. Yeah. It's not his fault. And I yelled at for her, and you didn't seem to be able to hear me, but I guess she walked a mile away. I don't know.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. It took him a long time. To get up on the thing.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. So uh Craig tries to give him an aspiring toast, but he is one upped by Devin and calls her the wrong last name. His last name? Yeah. And later the guy that insulted him comes up. Uh Craig hates that people aren't using the chairs. He's like, Everybody, you gotta get up on the chair. He tries to start a parade for her, but uh he does it. And then we hear um the guy that was yelling at Craig earlier, I'm gonna leave you with this. We should still be in Afghanistan. I don't know why we pulled out the way we did. And then people start cheering.
SPEAKER_01:So he does live with some insane people. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:And uh when Devin's doing his speech, he walks over next to Tammy and puts his arm around her. She kind of leans his head. But then even Stevie kind of goes and hugs them both, and it's like uh there are no social norms in this life, in this movie. So Austin lets Tammy on the weather, uh Austin lets Tammy on the weather with him, and then he sh she shows him how to prepare flowers. Um, I'm assuming it's kind of like in a like uh like, oh, I'm so glad you made it. Hey, come be on my show type thing.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, because she's kind of a local star.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, she's a local celebrity. Um Craig Craig asks Steven if he wants to go to the bar, but he's you know, he's only 15 or 16. He gives Steven his drums. Austin compliments how Tammy sees the world and he gets sentimental and makes a reservation for dinner, but Tammy has plans. Tammy then tells Craig that she had an orgasm alone in the dark while in the sewers. She then tells Craig that she's going to move into Devin's pool house, more like his house. Yeah. It's just like just had just was sitting there in the dark and had an orgasm.
SPEAKER_01:She's just the thought of being away from Craig, I think.
SPEAKER_00:I think it was just like for a moment she was in the dark alone, had peace, and wasn't thinking about anything, and that's probably Yeah, some relief. Just gave her some relief. Because, you know, like the like the whole time we you know, which is something that can kind of get pretty quickly lost in this movie, is the fact that like she just got was cancer free. So it's like, you know, her life is from her perspective, she's also kind of going through a midlife crisis. Like, fuck, I'm with this weird narcissist, this fucking insane guy. And it's like I have this honky firefighter that really likes me, and maybe I should give this a give this a try. So it's like I understand like everything she's doing. She's like, Man, I survived cancer, and I'm just gonna live the rest of my life with this Craig asshole, right?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, she's looking differently at everything.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Um, so Tan uh already said that. So at a low point, Craig visits Tony, the uh employee at the at the uh phone company, um, that promised Craig something stronger than booze the last time he visits. So Craig pays a hundred dollars to lick a toad and go on what Tony claims to be a life-changing psychedelic trip. Um and then he's like, he goes, like, all right, I gotta try something. Like anything at this point will do. He pulls out his money, he's like, I'm sorry, my money smells bad. It's like the bank, the bank gave it to me like this, and it smells really bad. And then uh, so yeah, then he he pulls out the frog and he has it, he's like, Oh, it looks like you're gonna pop them. Don't pop them. Then he takes a lick, and Tony's like, that was a really big lick. He's like, Oh god, it was too big. Am I gonna freak out? And Tony's like, All right, uh, he's gonna, I'm gonna leave you. I gotta go get some Rollos and a Red Bull. It's like you can't stay with me? No, man, it's my lunch break. It's like you're gonna have a great trip, though. I love you.
SPEAKER_01:No, I do some work with Red Bull. They're really mean to me.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:It's that so work with Red Bull. They're really mean to me. It's so stupid. Why? Why is it the way he says things is just so funny? Oh, but yeah, then uh Tony's leaving. It's like, all right, uh, thanks, Toad Boy. It's T-Boy. I love you, T-Boy. Um, so after leaving Craig alone in this trip, all Craig does is see himself going to order a sandwich at Subway while an older Austin is working there. Craig finds himself annoyed and disappointed. Um, I do want to say, uh uh there is a really great like filmmaking trick here though, right? Where because we just see Austin or Craig staring at the ceiling, yeah, looking at the um uh fire alarm, right? That's what it looked like. Sure. And then like so we go from looking at him, looking at the ceiling, then going to his point of view, and then he walks into frame and it's like hell yeah. And then he walks into a subway and it's like a great little transition. It's like, hell yeah, there's no making going on here.
SPEAKER_01:So it's so weird that they specifically like subway's the lamest sandwich.
SPEAKER_00:I know I think that's why they're like, what's the most taupe subway or sandwich place you could go to? Oh, subway where it's like half the food's not even real food. Um, so and then he wakes up and he's like, Man, so were you in there for four to five months? He's like, No, I was in there for like a fucking minute. It's like, did you see something crazy? He's like, No, ordered a sandwich. He's like, that frog ripped me off. That makes me think that little asshole, little fucker.
SPEAKER_01:It makes me think that the the toad was secreting like DMT. Yeah. Because those trips are super short but intense.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Well, I mean, there is like a there is like a frog that's known to like if you lick it, or I or it's like a I don't know if it's like a real thing, but no, it is a real thing, I'm pretty sure. But I think maybe different frogs do different things. Yeah, must be, I don't know. Because there's the really colorful ones that come from like the rainforest that kind of make you trip pretty hard.
SPEAKER_00:Man.
SPEAKER_01:And then there's this one, so it makes me think it's something different.
SPEAKER_00:You know what, you know what really sucks though? We just did two movies where people put a frog on some sort of aspect of their mouth. And it's the grossest fucking shit because of like a frog's ass. I've I've had a frog in my mouth, and it's like the worst possible thing. You trip balls. That frog ripped me off. Hey, I actually did a little work for Red Bull. They were so mean to me. It's just so funny. I'm just literally going through the quotes right now. That gone, that pig was flying. What the hell? Sorry, I'll get back to the plot. I could just read, I could just read the script to this and just laugh out loud. All right, so now an empty house. Literally like nothing in the house. Everything was hers. It's almost like no one ever lived there. And part of me makes me think maybe he didn't have a family. But now an empty house. Craig tries to get his life back together first by taking up a job as a parking officer and gives him a thing, and the guy's like, hey, what the fuck? And he's like, People need rules. He eats the bin Laden meal, and he's like, nobody could ever fucking eat this much food.
SPEAKER_01:This is too much food. Yeah, but he made friends with that guy. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. So he starts to reconnect with Stevie. You're going to grow up to be a beautiful old guy, Craig. Thank you, Steven. I hope you're serious about that. I was going to do that line for the intro. So the family goes, Oh shit, maybe this is actually my favorite part of the movie. Because this is it's so classic Tim Robinson. It's great. Uh so the family goes out for dinner and appears to be having a good time. Uh Stevie's like, Y'all didn't tell him it was my birthday, right? Fucking hate that shit. Um, and they're having a good time until a guy bumps into Tammy with his chair and he makes the guy apologize. And the guy actually does. And uh he also reveals that he bought a van and then like they're kind of sitting and like Tammy's saying something nice, and he's like, We gotta get the fuck. We gotta get the fuck out of here. What was I thinking? We gotta go.
SPEAKER_01:But he is kind of acting normal for a change.
SPEAKER_00:It was just like you know, he acted heroic, he did the heroic thing that he's been thinking about, but then like as soon as he does it, he's like, Holy fucking shit. That's gonna kill me. We gotta go. Oh, crack me up. I think that was probably the hardest I laughed when I first watched it. All right, so on the way home for dinner, Craig sees the yellow car in Austin's driveway and sees that he's having another guy's night. They get home and everything seems to be going well. Tammy thanks him for the van. He says he spent his whole life doing fucking nothing, and now he's not. Then uh Tammy Which I feel like is a lot of the point of like his whole character is that he's he's he feels empty, he hasn't been doing anything. Tammy then comes on to him saying he looks like he's been working out. It's like, no, I've been walking a lot. Everybody screams at me, everybody hates me because he's a police, because he just leaves tickets on people's stuff. So he's doing a lot of like running away, I'm assuming. So wherever he works, everybody hates him. It might be your fault, Craig. Yeah, maybe everyone is a dick. Yeah. Uh yeah, in real life, in real life, yeah. Everyone's a dick. Just saying, whenever I go to work, it's like, man, everybody's such a narcissist. So Craig has to, I mean, I am too, but you know, everybody is. So Craig has to take the van to get candles for Steven's birthday and stares at the yellow corvette, but he drives off and smiling. Um, but he's crazy and in a fit of jealousy. Craig drives Tammy's van over to the help himself. He couldn't because he drives off like everything's normal, and then we kind of hear like the car driving, but it almost sounds like it's turning around. And then when he pulls into frame, just like metal music starts or punk music starts playing. The soundtrack is amazing in this. The the use of music is fantastic in this movie, and I wish I put more in my notes to say this music is great. Um, but then he wrecks the van after driving over a speed bount that he previously made a big fuss over. This is like, no, you were back on track. You had your wife back, your son back. You got her the van. You're doing all right at your job. You could probably find a better one later. And maybe if you acted normal, Austin would come back.
SPEAKER_01:Just gotta fuck it up somehow.
SPEAKER_00:Just be like, Tammy, try to convince him just to come over. We'll hang out and I'll be normal. But he can't. He can't be normal. Nope. So Craig crashes the guy's night and makes everyone uncomfortable yet again. I love it because he just walks into the back door, walks straight in, gets a beer, and he's like, well, the night just started. I'm already double fisted. And then um, and then everybody's like, all right, you gotta go, you gotta go. And then he's like, Oh, Garrett, I've been thinking about you and your little busty daughters. People are so cruel. What's up with people? And then he apologizes to everyone. They're still trying to get them out. And then he's just I do one strange thing, and then I'm toast. So fucking true, though. You get one impression with the group of guys. He escalates things, uh, and then he starts to sing my boo. Or wait, no, he escalates things by pulling out the gun that he swiped from Austin's the other day. Ask me something. Ask me anything. It's like, let's play who would you rather? And then you ask him something, and then he's trying to think. He's like, I'm too nervous. And then like there's like, who is that guy? And the guy's like, I'm Jimp. It's like, what? Jim? It's like, no, it's like Jump with an eye. Who the fuck is called Jim? Jim!
SPEAKER_01:He's already been replaced by his name.
SPEAKER_00:Something so stupid. Just replacing a I or a you with an eye is so funny. Jimp. But then he apologizes again and then starts to sing my boo in what I thought was super cringy earlier. Even worse now. Oh, even worse. When you got a gun. Yeah. And then Austin tries uh to get the gun away from him by saying, Hey, come on, let's uh let's go out to my car. Here, I'll show you my car. Uh, but then Austin tries for the gun. Uh, but in the struggle, um, Craig fires the gun off, and then like everybody ducks to the ground, and then Austin's toupee falls off. Craig then orders everyone to get on the ground while Austin puts his hair back on to maintain the secret. And the police show up is like, who fucking called the police? Because he's like, All right, guys, I'm gonna go. Then the police show up and Craig runs through the door again. And then we cut to Austin, walks him out in his arm, Craig smiling. They arrest Craig, and then while in the back of his car, he's staring at Austin, Craig imagines that the night went off without a hitch. Yep.
SPEAKER_01:And it's like he became friends with everyone, everything was great.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. And then and that he was back in the friend group. Austin turns to look at Craig and gives him a wink, which makes Craig smile.
SPEAKER_01:He is an enabler. Yeah, he really is.
SPEAKER_00:I think that Austin just really loved the fact that someone was so obsessed with him. Because I think that's what uh Craig found so like loving about him. It's like, shit, this guy's a narcissist just like me. Oh they had the same exact like me, me, me, me type of thing. And so they are both giving each other the attention that they crave so much. And then even though this insane thing happened, he's like, Man, this guy loves me so much. He literally would have shot one of my friends so I could put my toupee on. That's how good of a person I am.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, you gotta keep him just, you know, maybe not close, but yeah.
SPEAKER_00:And you know what? He might come back. So don't want to burn that bridge. Yeah, and it's like hopefully he's just gonna be in jail forever. Um, but the movie does a thing that I really like. Um, because while I was in school, I kind of did this little technique a lot where, you know, it's something like something's happening on screen, we see it, but then there's like the flashback almost where all of a sudden we just cut without warning to like things good happening. Yeah. And I love that shit. I did that a lot of my own stuff, and it's fantastic. Those are like his fantasies, right? Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Um saving the day, like hitting a whole run, maybe.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:That's friendship. Being friends. That's when friendship is. Having a normal friend group is his big moment.
SPEAKER_00:So Jason, what's the point of friendship? The movie and actual friendship.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh yeah, I think it is. People aren't always who they who you think they are.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I said it was like kind of like um it's a movie about like midlife crisis. Yeah. And making friends in your adult life. Time in your life. It's about like the emptiness you feel, like uh like it's about the like time in your life when you're comfortable and everything's nice, but you're like, you get the idea that you need more. It's like shit. Like I I have this house, I have this wife, I have this son. I get to watch the new Marvel movies that are totally nuts. But then it's just like you're just sitting on a recliner just looking at your phone. And then something new comes in your life, and it's so exciting. Yeah, you want to take it all in. It's like, holy shit, this is so crazy. I hope I don't act like an insane person. You know, it's um, but then like uh yeah, then you dip your toe into it and something new, and it's hard and awkward and anxiety ridden that you just flip your shit.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, they got sucked in real hard. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:And also, I think it's a movie about like, you know, you should probably figure out if you're a narcissist or not and go to therapy. But yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Or go to therapy.
SPEAKER_00:All right, cool. So that's the point. So now, Jason, we're gonna do our next category, the good, the bad, the ugly, the fine. It's where we discuss something good about the film, a scene, uh acting, whatever. The bad something we didn't like, the ugly something that aged didn't age well, the fine something that did age well. What do you got for the good?
SPEAKER_01:I want to say it felt very relatable. Yeah. Weirdly. Weirdly relatable for me. It's kind of crazy how. It's kind of crazy how they capture these these feelings or like these situations that and like the way they people are reacting. Yeah. I feel like I've been there myself.
SPEAKER_00:With this like the most insane possible character, we're able to see things from our own life in the movie, and it's weird.
SPEAKER_01:It is so weird, but that's what I think is really great about it.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Um for the good, I put obviously Timothy Robbins, uh Robinson. He's so freaking good. That's exactly how I put it my notes. No, it's just uh I love that guy. I think he might be the funniest person on earth right now in my life. And um shoot. Like if if they could just like compress him down into like a liquid and then put into a syringe and then just put it straight into my veins. That's what I want. My wife would be like, that means you if you that means you start acting like him, I will kill you. Alright, um, and for the bad, I put people who don't like Tim Robbins. Listen. Oh yeah, I could see that. You got anything for the bad?
SPEAKER_01:Uh not no not really. Maybe feel bad sometimes. Yeah, but I don't think there's anything bad about the movie.
SPEAKER_00:Um for the ugly, I put people who don't like Tim Robinson.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:There's a theme here.
SPEAKER_01:Similar, so I can see. I can see that. Uh you got anything that that's ugly? It just recently came out. It sucks when you know friends break up. It really sucks. It does. I think it's necessary though. Yeah, I mean it's gonna happen eventually.
SPEAKER_00:Especially, I mean, people just grow and just become different people. But especially in your 20s. That's just that's what your 20s are for. You grow you become three different people in your 20s.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, but what sucks, um, because I was in a situation with my two two best friends, um, they both started being a dick specifically to me. And that's how I got pushed out. I mean, I didn't do it. That's why I feel like Tim Robinson sometimes. Yeah, because they like kind of teamed up and to make me feel like shit, and it sucked really bad, like it felt betrayed, you know what I mean? And that sticks with you.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:And I feel like Tim Robinson has found a way to make that funny. Yeah. It's horrible, but great. That at the same time.
SPEAKER_00:That was kind of like my role, I feel like, in not necessarily friendships, like I always was kind of the punching bag. Sure. Yeah. Like usually I was a little younger, you know, like people would like poke fun of me. As I got older, I got smarter and wittier. And then if I did it back, like people would be like, That's that's me. Oh, cruel. You can't say things like that. And it's just like, y'all have said worse to me. Yes. Um, and then like, even if like two, like two of my friends we get together and that like one of them didn't even like the other one. But like, if we all three hung out, I they were able to relate by like making fun of me a lot. And I'm like, y'all fucking sucks. It's like why do I always get become the butt of the jokes? Then I don't know. Dicks. But then like I kind of grew past that, and now I'm the one that makes fun of everybody really well. But I do it in like a nice way, like I do it with like a huge smile on my face. People are like, You're such an you're so mean, but like, why you're so fun. Like, I like you though. It's like a cat, like mean and fluffy. So for something that aged well, I put people who like Tim Robinson. Just kidding, I didn't. I put like the what aged well about this is kind of how dark and awkward this movie is. Like the darkness and like the sadness and emptiness it made me feel is what elevated this movie from just like a regular, like an Anchorman comedy to a like shit. This is a movie that I think I could always come back to because it makes me feel more than like even when the jokes are gonna get old, like the feeling it makes me have is not ever gonna get old. Versus like when we watched Anchorman, you know, we watched it and we're like, I didn't really laugh that much. Because you know. Yeah, I used to, but like, you know, when you don't laugh at a comedy like that that much, it's like not as fun.
SPEAKER_01:You've grown.
SPEAKER_00:But something with friendship is like I'll probably never get tired of Tim Robinson, but um that the feelings in between the comedy will make this movie last for me. Yeah, for sure. So that's my fine. That's your fine. No, that I like yours as pretty well. I'm just gonna take it. Okay, take mine. All right. We're gonna hit up our next category. It's double feature. It's where we recommend a movie alongside this movie. What do you have, Jason?
SPEAKER_01:Just watch more Tim Robinson shows. Like I want to go back and like watch the chair company. Yeah, I've only watched it all of it.
SPEAKER_00:There's three episodes out right now as a recording, but um, I've only watched the first episode. It's because we're kind of like in the horror movie because it's still it's technically not Hall Halloween's not over yet for us, so as a recording. But uh yeah, I'm still into it.
SPEAKER_01:Uh yeah, I will say I watched the I only watched the substance and it was really cool. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Ooh, you should watch hard eyes. Just in terms of like this is gonna be so stupid because this is after Halloween, but it was really fun. It's like a romantic comedy, but if there's a serial killer in the middle of it, and it's so fucking funny and getting it. Sounds cool. And like by the end of it, I was like, I kind of really like this couple. Um, my double feature is Punch Drunk Love. Nice. It's the Paul Thomas Anderson movie starring Adam Sandler. Uh socially frustrated Barry Egan calls a phone sex line to curb his loneliness. Little does he know it will land him in deep trouble and will jeopardize his uh burgeoning romance with a mysterious Lena. That's one of the only Adam Sandler movies I've never seen. You should watch it, it's really good. I can let you borrow it. I got it on uh Blu-ray. It's very similar. It's it's funny, but it's not as funny as friendship. But it's just one of those things where it's like this guy, it's like, well, you fucking stop. Stop, dude. Just uh something great. I feel like there the parallels between punch truck love and friendship is great, except this is more of a romantic comedy versus the other one is like a romantic comedy between bros. Nice. Um, but yeah, I think they're like because after I finished, I was like, what would go well with this? And then I was looking at my movies and like punch truck love. It's like the perfect fucking movie. Yeah, that's cool. All right. That's it, man. We did friendship. Yay! And make sure you join us next week because this is this is this is this is a this is one this is this this this this this one's for that. This one's for Jason. Kind of got stuck in a loop there. Didn't know what I was gonna say, and then I was like, wait, this could be a bit, so now I did it as a bit. Oh, the next one's gonna be fun. Yeah, the next one. Jason's pick of K pop Demon Hunter. I haven't seen it. I hope it's good. It's so fun. I watched the trailer to it, and it seems like something that isn't for me. My daughters love it. Yeah, and it's and if you go on the Spotify's like top 100 charts, like most of the songs are in the top one top ten of that.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, it's well until the Taylor Swift. It's a good old time.
SPEAKER_00:Taylor Swift's album came out now. It's like everyone.
SPEAKER_01:I really like the animation and I and the songs are great. Yeah. Uh it's just goofy.
