Speaker 1 0:46

You can tell, because Eric is not saying P words currently.

Speaker 2 0:51

Well, Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

Speaker 1 1:13

Will you survive is literally pay to win literally yeah, that's right, that's right, uh, yeah, so if you want to send me 20 bucks, alex, I'll let you anyways well, that's a quite an unfair price exchange I think I spent way more eric. If you want to send me twenty dollars, you can win too.

Speaker 2 1:31

Wait a minute.

Speaker 1 1:33

I okay, hang on that's a guaranteed win, whoever sends me twenty dollars. Anyways, guys, we're hype, it's. You know. I picked the actual okay fucking movie this time, so we got energy. We're freaking moving. Eric is drinking coffee for some reason. You know he always has his forbidden apple I today. I just thought it left over we're talking about the movie the blackening forbidden apple juice. He says the forbidden apple juice um. Alex, would you like to give the gist of the movie?

Speaker 3 2:04

seven friends go away for the weekend and end up trapped in a cabin with a killer who has a vendetta. Will their street smarts and knowledge of horror movies help them stay alive? Probably not. I do got to say. One thing that I loved about this is they used our tagline a lot stay alive, did they? Yeah, you didn't hear it.

Speaker 1 2:22

No, oh, my god now their actual tagline their actual tagline, which I love, is we can't.

Speaker 3 2:32

It says we can't all die first.

Speaker 1 2:34

True that's that is big facts this movie was hard targeted towards black people like it's. It's ridiculous because I seen this, like when it was in theaters, so I got.

Speaker 2 2:46

I kind of got caught in the uh the marketing yeah, they got you they did get me um yeah, to be fair, it was hilarious so, guys, uh, let's just get started.

Speaker 1 2:57

Uh, what were your overall thoughts on the blackening? Did you find it funny, scary, scary, thought provoking at all.

Speaker 3 3:04

There was actually a couple of points in there where I did find myself getting anxious, where I was like I, I, you know proverbially on the end of my seat and, uh, that most of it was funny. Um, I thought a lot of the the things, um the tropes were so far exaggerated, but then at the same time I loved, like I. Just one example is the girl trying to say we've got to split up, we gotta hold on, we gotta we should split up. It's like vomit inducing to just say those words because it it is. Everybody knows that is the dumbest thing to say in a movie like this okay, but I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 2 3:49

All the shit that they called white behavior was just making a plan like every time that they finally had an idea of what they should do. Someone was like that sounds like white shit and you're like, well how it's literally just having a plan.

Speaker 1 4:09

No, it was white shit I guess, I guess, they're like he's been.

Speaker 3 4:14

He's been spying on us from the basement with a whole network and they're like you sound like white people it's literally just what's happening except for the uh and it was run by a black dude except, oh, he was the whitest dude, he was, he was, he was, and uh, my favorite like thing in the movie is the.

Speaker 2 4:34

Look like they got the, the and then the oh, yeah, yeah, there's minds type shit and then and when it's he's like you know oh, he tells him could you hear all that?

Speaker 3 4:45

oh yeah, I heard that and you lost your one, your one element of surprise. No, there was. Uh, what was? What was the other scene?

Speaker 2 4:54

I like this movie okay, I have big beef with them. A lot of what they did was stupid and intentionally stupid. They let officer white die for no good reason honestly.

Speaker 3 5:08

I will tell you the honest truth I didn't trust him either you know what I'll say?

Speaker 2 5:12

they found the mask, okay. But then he shows up in distress. He has his gun. If he wanted to kill you, he would just fucking shoot you and they were like I don't trust him. Like the windows are gonna protect them.

Speaker 3 5:31

I get it. I didn't trust him either, though I I really didn't I was like they let that man die. He was trying so hard to help, but it was so damn funny when he was like I know I found this in the woods I know this you gotta trust me, oh man and then the one scene where they all went and, uh, they did that.

Speaker 3 5:51

That whitest shit ever. That was really fucking funny when he told her to go and prop the doors open because they kept locking the doors and then he locked the doors on them. Before she got to the, before she got to the basement door, he had locked it. Uh, what? Uh? What I found interesting was the very beginning. It was very well done to get me wrapped up because I was invested right away when it was. It asked the the question.

Speaker 3 6:22

Um, they sat there messing around and I will be honest, I'm sitting there waiting. I'm like why aren't they? They haven't answered it. They're like looking at her earring, how her earring is matching the, the, uh, the game piece. And then all of a sudden it's like time's up and I was thinking the same thing. I'm like how long is this thing gonna go on for before it tells them that their time is up? And then it got really weird when, all of a sudden, name it gave all of their names. When the rest of the group showed up, um, but I will say there was a part of me and it didn't make sense. I completely admit this. It didn't make sense and later I gave up, like before the middle of the uh movie, I gave up the thought. I thought the original dude was the one who was in on it, the first dude to die oh I thought he was in on it.

Speaker 3 7:08

I was like he got shot in the neck, I didn't believe it, because when he tells her, run right, and I'm like I'm looking at him oh well that's just movie maybe I'm like I guess, I kept thinking and then, when she came back into it, I was like are these two motherfuckers in on this shit?

Speaker 2 7:27

And so I wasn't, I wasn't completely wrong.

Speaker 3 7:30

But yeah, I was. I. I got something. You know there was something going on with the original characters, but it was not what I thought.

Speaker 2 7:38

So, TJ, do you have a particular like order? You want to go about this, or do you just want us to chat about the movie?

Speaker 1 7:48

I mean we can really just kind of riff off each other, all right.

Speaker 2 7:52

All right, you know I am the host, so Mr Host sir, what do you want to talk about?

Film Review and Racial Discussions

Speaker 1 8:01

You can't get mad at me.

Speaker 2 8:02

Okay, I didn't watch the movie this man. Have you watch the movie this man? Have you seen the movie before? I've seen the movie before.

Speaker 3 8:10

When I watched it in theaters, when it came out, you son of a biscuit eater.

Speaker 2 8:17

That's well.

Speaker 3 8:18

All right, you ready, you ready, sure, you ready for this. That is the whitest shit I've ever heard, is it? Nah, that is, that is the whitest shit I've ever heard, is it?

Speaker 2 8:28

no, that that is so white, I feel like that's no, he's racist. Uh, knit, didn't have time. He's racist. You didn't watch a film about black people.

Speaker 3 8:33

He wouldn't watch the blackening. He thought he's like way above it. He's too good for a movie of this caliber, that is so quite crazy, so uh just like they said in the movie uh, your black card's revoked.

Speaker 1 8:51

Yeah damn, I don't think I don't think an essay can take my card. I think the council of african americans. Okay, so wait a minute.

Speaker 3 9:04

So let's, let's figure this out. We gotta, we gotta, answer one age-old question do you classify, or does the council of african-americans classify, mexicans as people of color?

Speaker 1 9:16

yellow people of color, but you know well, that's it I think it's.

Speaker 3 9:21

I think it's decided that dj gave me permission to use the N-word. Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1 9:27

Every black person for themselves when it comes to that, because y'all say it anyways.

Speaker 2 9:30

That is true. That is true honestly. Mexicans say it. So much Do they really.

Speaker 3 9:36

Yeah.

Speaker 1 9:37

If y'all want to fight the dude who said it go ahead. But some of us are fine with it, Some of us aren't.

Speaker 2 9:45

It's just how it is. I did honestly, I just can't imagine caring truth be told.

Speaker 1 9:47

Well, eric definitely can't fucking say it. Look at the white in that. What is?

Speaker 2 9:50

that I I'm not gonna lie, so this is getting a little deeper than I think. Will you survive should be, but I think that that word is just such a stupid word to use in general because it was used as a super derogatory and negative like calling you like less than a human. And now that community just goes around calling each other that and in a sense to like take the power back, which I can kind of understand, but I don't know, I think it's just such a nasty word in general. I don't know why anybody would call anybody that.

Speaker 3 10:20

That's just me, I don't know. Yeah, I I gotta say I think that I never use it, but there's plenty of racial epithets that I do use. So there you guys go. Thoughts about the.

Speaker 1 10:32

N-word from, not black people.

Speaker 2 10:36

I'm not gonna. I genuinely. Beater and wetback we're gonna get oh, my god, we're gonna get fucking community guidelines so fast, right now.

Speaker 1 10:45

I'm trying not to say the fucking n-word so hard right now, bro, and we're live on TikTok. I don't wanna get us Freaking banned Before TikTok, I think.

Speaker 2 10:55

This movie. This movie was going To get us banned.

Speaker 3 10:59

Right away. This is a pretty bad movie To cover on TikTok.

Speaker 1 11:03

I made several points before, like hand, like in my brain, like if they mention this or this or this. That's either plus or minus points. Nice, okay, y'all are up and down some points. All right, all right you already mentioned some shit.

Speaker 2 11:18

Let me see if this will get me points. That whole cookout speech by the cop, that was funny. So simp behavior, that was funny. So simp behavior, that was funny, bro. He was simping so hard.

Speaker 3 11:28

I get it. It was funny, though I thought the other one that I liked was all the game pieces. They had a bullet.

Speaker 1 11:37

I also loved the speech.

Speaker 3 11:38

I love the speech when I forget what his name was the gangster. He pulled out the gun and they were like of course you have a gun. The one guy in the group.

Speaker 2 11:48

I liked where the gay guy was like guys, this is exactly what the game is trying to do to us. Did we really come this far just to give up on each other? The second we face adversity, and one of them was like there's no way. You just monologued, knowing that we have a minute left Damn you're speaking just as long as I did.

Speaker 3 12:06

I liked.

Speaker 1 12:08

Y'all got a favorite character.

Speaker 3 12:10

Honestly, it was that chick who was. Was she rolling on Molly? No?

Speaker 2 12:14

she was on Adderall. Yeah, she was pretty sick, allison, I think her name. I liked her. Yeah, she was dope, she was comedy man.

Speaker 3 12:20

That's the light-skinned one. Yeah. Yeah, she cracked me up but I did my. There was another scene actually with I like the black guy, I do too.

Speaker 2 12:29

He was cool, the African guy. Yeah yeah, he was dope. I thought it was hilarious that he laid a good fucking hit on the guy and then he tripped on some rocks. That shit was so funny.

Speaker 1 12:39

And the gay guy is also one of my favorites.

Speaker 2 12:41

He's funny Gay guy is like my second favorite person, very funny.

Speaker 3 12:45

I'm trying to remember. I think Shanika was the girl with the short, not the light skin, the short, curly hair.

Speaker 1 12:52

And she was the one who bashed? The first killer In the yellow. In the yellow. Yeah, I'm sorry, oh gotcha.

Speaker 3 12:59

She was the one that bashed the first killer. And she goes to go and, uh, give her gay friend a hug and he like backs her out. He's like I'm sorry, you're coming in guts. And then, yeah, her boyfriend or her ex-boyfriend was like, he did that whole monologue right, I know, I'm so sorry about everything. I I didn't want to commit to you or make you commit when you weren't ready, and all that. And then, uh, he goes in and kisses her anyway.

Speaker 3 13:23

The kiss and the giggles and you see the, the gay dude, just look at there. He's like he wouldn't get close to her. He did that whole like patty cake thing that you and corinne did the other night.

Speaker 2 13:34

That shit was funny. Oh man, really calling me out for knowing that shit.

Speaker 1 13:38

We 100 went pretty far in that so for this movie there was a lot of uh, uh like marketing and stuff, and uh the the posters are uh are funny cause they ask questions. Uh, you know, like the board does to test.

Speaker 2 13:52

Oh man, okay, no way, uh, so I would like you to uh questions and, if you get them right, um shall dish out points all right uh, first question it's off of one of the posters.

Speaker 1 14:04

It has, uh, the chick with stripes. She has stripes on her shirt. I don't know who the fuck that is. I didn't watch the movie. Name one black character who survived a horror movie this is a tough one because I I heard not this movie, I know I heard this I heard this in the movie and they got it wrong.

Speaker 2 14:22

It was the first question ever asked in the movie, you know.

Speaker 3 14:23

They said jana pinkett smith and they got it wrong. It was the first question ever asked in the movie. Yeah, no, they said Janet Pinkett Smith, they got it wrong and they're like no, that was literally the first person to go.

Speaker 2 14:27

Yeah, they got it wrong and I have yet to think of one.

Speaker 3 14:31

Okay, hold on Name one who makes it all the way to the end. Deep Blue Sea LL Cool J.

Speaker 2 14:38

I guess. Yeah, I would consider that. Is that a horror movie? Does that count? I would consider it, yeah.

Speaker 1 14:43

Oh, eric considered it. Okay, that's one. Next question Name two of Bebe's kids.

Speaker 3 14:51

Who Bebe's kids? Oh, I can't do that, I don't know who.

Speaker 2 14:53

Bebe's kids are. We're both too white for this.

Speaker 1 14:59

Minus some points.

Speaker 3 15:05

I'm just saying I would survive the situation for obvious reasons. I mean, you know, this is like one of those that you ask. Uh, if we were to ask tj name three of abuela's names, I don't think he could do it name three plain white tea songs.

Speaker 1 15:15

Hey there delilah giving tree, and that's all I got. He didn't even know one, two, three, four close. Hey there, delilah Giving tree, and that's all I got.

Speaker 2 15:25

He didn't even know. One, two, three, four. You came close hey. I'll be jamming.

Speaker 3 15:28

Closer than we did. Delilah, bro, true. What's it like in New?

Speaker 1 15:31

York City. I'm a thousand miles away.

Speaker 2 15:35

I bet you do know one, two, three, four.

Speaker 1 15:38

Probably, there's only one way to say three words for you yeah white people. That's plain white, yeah also, yeah, paramore.

Speaker 2 15:51

So oh, oh, speaking of paramore, sorry side side, tangent I heard a rumor that miss hayley williams might be touring her solo album because she never got to in 2020. And if anyone's looking to get me a late Christmas, early birthday, gift.

Speaker 3 16:09

that's it Okay.

Speaker 2 16:10

Because I would very much love to see her in concert.

Speaker 1 16:14

Hey, eric, huh, merry Christmas. Plus one point what group was Cisco in?

Speaker 3 16:19

What group was Cisco in? Like the?

Speaker 2 16:23

routers.

Speaker 1 16:24

Cisco S-I-S-Q-O with the little line on top.

Speaker 3 16:28

Dang dude, no way Black dude. I don't even have an idea.

Speaker 1 16:33

Silver blonde hair like short. No, you don't know. Cisco.

Speaker 2 16:37

No, I know Prince.

Speaker 3 16:39

I would be like.

Speaker 1 16:40

Everybody knows fucking Prince.

Speaker 3 16:43

I'd be like Run DMC Wu-Tang Clan.

Speaker 1 16:46

Minus one point.

Speaker 2 16:48

But we lose points for not knowing. Yeah Well, Alex, I feel like we're on equal playing grounds here.

Speaker 1 16:55

We're testing the blacketry.

Speaker 2 16:57

Okay, all right, well, I think the fact that we just high-fived and said woo, kind of.

Speaker 1 17:05

This can apply to anybody, and again I'm reading these from the posters Is mac and cheese a side dish or a main dish?

Speaker 3 17:12

Main dish.

Speaker 2 17:13

Main dish? Well, I think it could be both.

Speaker 3 17:16

See, this ain't a black thing. This is a poor thing. I was plenty poor where mac and cheese was a delicacy.

Speaker 2 17:23

Well look, mac and cheese by itself, side dish, mac and cheese with hot dogs, main dish.

Speaker 3 17:27

I'm so I would go both way.

Speaker 1 17:29

I mean, you add anything to it, it's just, you're just lucky plus, uh, one for getting the answer right for both of you, and then plus one to eric, because he said fucking mac and cheese and hot dogs I fucking knew it, bro.

Speaker 2 17:43

Mac and cheese and hot dog is fire. That shit slaps bro but you're gonna.

Speaker 3 17:48

You're gonna do that. You're not gonna listen to me, though hear me out. I'm gonna use tj's line. Hear me out, there, you go appropriate and black people?

Speaker 1 17:54

uh, that might as well, bro man. So you?

Speaker 3 17:58

got no, no, no you gotta hear me out you gotta hear me out, because I think this is worth a point that's classic white behavior buffalo chicken mac and cheese. Well, that's a main dish yeah, it's a main dish.

Speaker 2 18:07

Yeah, because you've added chicken.

Speaker 1 18:09

The more you add to it, the more of a main dish it becomes that's right.

Speaker 2 18:12

That's why I said it's both, and this is once again a delicatessen because if it's just mac and cheese, that's not enough, there's no, it can't be a main dish, or?

Speaker 3 18:20

you've done this one, TJ. I know you've done this one Hamburger helper mixed with mac and cheese.

Speaker 2 18:25

Yeah, that shit's fire, I've done that.

Speaker 1 18:28

Okay, I'll give you a point Ain't no way. Oh, dude, I could talk poor talk. Name. I'm going to lower the number because it says name eight. Tyler Perry, madea movies, medea movies I'll give you oh no name.

Speaker 3 18:40

Three medea movies medea goes to jail. Uh, I feel like a merry medea christmas let me check that I think it might just be called a medea christmas. And one more. What's the other one? What's the other one? What's the other one?

Speaker 1 18:55

one more, you get five points okay.

Speaker 3 18:57

So I said go to jail. Uh, merry christmas. And oh, what is it? It's the one where she adopts the girl there are so many goddamn indian movies that's the problem, that's I. I but the name. You gotta be able to name something.

Speaker 2 19:10

There's like 50 000 and they're all named something ridiculous.

Speaker 1 19:14

He said here's a hint.

Speaker 3 19:16

He said a medea christmas oh well, there's also a media halloween. There you go. He got three, that's uh I'll down the points.

Speaker 1 19:24

That was a. You know you get plus three for that. Uh, eric, here's a pity point.

Speaker 3 19:29

Thanks bro, nobody said a diary of a mad black woman oh yeah I, you put me under pressure, man like come on, I I've seen a few media movies I couldn't tell

Speaker 2 19:39

you I didn't see on the run tragic, tragic um name.

Speaker 1 19:43

I'm gonna lower the. It says 15. I'm not gonna make you 15. That's a lot, two black inventions oh, oh, man, this I don't.

Inventors and Childhood Adventures

Speaker 2 19:51

Does this count as an invention? The, the chick who, who sent the the rocket to the moon and then, like she was giving birth and she fucking redid the math to account for a problem they were having no, but she was plus one for knowing that that's that's the physics, that's the lady from she's dope as shit, but that doesn't count all

Speaker 2 20:08

right in figures they are pretty like substantial things that have I know it's just like us people, I don't I don't see colors, sir, so I don't know who is black and who is white.

Speaker 3 20:23

I couldn't tell you. I'm honestly I'm struggling to tell you. Inventions period yeah, I'm like thomas edison yeah, that guy was white, the light bulb like I, I don't like I'm not even thinking modern inventions. I'm thinking oh no because it requires like there's a lot, there's a lot into it. Like there's not just a single inventor of a computer, there's not a single inventor of an alarm clock.

Speaker 3 20:45

There's not a single inventor of like. All of these things that we use today have all come from many generations of inventions, so I'm trying to like go back to when, like things were singular, and that's really racking my brain.

Speaker 2 20:58

I really don't know, but I can't even tell you who invented a lot of modern things, so I couldn't tell you if they were black yeah, yeah, I get it.

Speaker 1 21:06

You guys, you don't, you're not gonna know. I'm just gonna educate you educate us. Give me an edumacation lonnie johnson in 1982 invented the super soaker cool, okay y'all are, y'all are.

Speaker 3 21:18

Really I was waiting for you to be like a black man making a gun crazy who would have thought I was actually gonna go the exact other way and tell you I was way too fucking poor to afford a fucking super soaker in my childhood yeah, all Dollar Tree.

Speaker 1 21:34

Fucking little spray like the little tubes little pistols squirt water in that was yeah, we didn't even get that, we got those pistols and they broke after like the second time you used them.

Speaker 2 21:45

Yeah, they have like the little tiny latch you have to grab at the top.

Speaker 3 21:49

Yeah, they use like they use like elmer's glue to seal it so you use it like twice and it falls apart.

Speaker 1 21:55

You squeeze a little too hard and it just yeah no, when I was a kid, me and my homie, uh, there was a nest. Uh, well, not a nest, but like a little egg sack Of spiders. And there was like a spider On the fucking web and he was like Dude, let's piss inside of this.

Speaker 3 22:12

Oh my god.

Speaker 1 22:13

Let's piss inside of this water gun and spray it at the spiders.

Speaker 2 22:16

And I was like dude, I'm in, so we fucking.

Speaker 1 22:19

We went to the corner and I'm in, so we fucking we went to the corner and I pissed in it and fucking, we sprayed it at it and the baby started running out. He's like dude, get him.

Speaker 2 22:31

You know how much I hate spiders, but that feels cruel.

Speaker 1 22:34

Yeah, we just that's fucked In plain sight too.

Speaker 2 22:39

We were just at a fucking playground, just like fucking spraying but when I do that I end up in jail or some shit like I don't I don't get it this way, so conflict.

Speaker 3 22:50

I hate spiders so much I used to take them and put like I would take black widows, because we had an abundance of those and I'd put them in wasp nests that's crazy that's the wasp nests.

Speaker 2 23:01

That's crazy. Watch the wasps just go to town. That's psychopath behavior, by the way.

Speaker 3 23:05

No, it's not, it's just helping nature along.

Speaker 2 23:08

Helping nature along.

Speaker 1 23:10

In what world?

Speaker 2 23:10

was that black widow ever going to wander into a wasp nest.

Speaker 3 23:15

No, they would fly out and get them. Wasps hunt black widows. They hunt spiders. Oh, I didn't know that If they catch a spider out in the daytime, because they usually return to their nest at sunset, but if they catch a spider, out.

Speaker 2 23:25

No, stop saying that. That's making me like wasps a little bit. Stop, I don't like that. Anyway, speaking of black dudes, I don't like your facts, elijah.

Speaker 1 23:33

McCoy in 1872 made the double action revolver. You're not doing justice right now. Wow, that's pretty cool, no, I just thought it would be funny to let you guys know, that Also the traffic signal, also the refrigerator.

Speaker 3 23:45

Nice Also the first automatic doors. Hey.

Speaker 1 23:48

The folding ironing board, which is like amazing. Hey, automatic gear shifting, a gas mask, that's huge. Hair straightener and world's first human programmable computer language. Pretty sick.

Speaker 3 24:02

Hair straightener. Hair straightener that's pretty bigoted. Trying to fit in with this.

Speaker 1 24:08

You take your curly hair back where you came from.

Speaker 2 24:11

Anyways, you take your gay hair. Plus one point to both of you.

Speaker 1 24:15

Thank you, actually, plus an extra one to Alex for feeding spiders to Wasp, that's pretty fucking funny High key.

Speaker 2 24:21

I'm not going to lie. That's pretty fucking funny High key. I'm not gonna lie. That's pretty. Yeah, I think that's well-deserved.

Speaker 1 24:27

Rose risking his safety to grab these black widows that's a very poisonous spider, by the way.

Speaker 2 24:32

And then going to a very dangerous wasp nest. That is crazy.

Speaker 3 24:37

Remember that I lived in an area where Minus one point for saying poisonous, it's venomous. Remember that I lived in an area where one point for saying poisonous it's venomous. Remember I lived in an area where there was an abundance of diamondback rattlers and we used to play in those fields yeah, that's another thing.

Speaker 2 24:49

I don't think I would ever do that. We couldn't afford maracas.

Speaker 1 24:52

We had to take the rattle from the snake that's right have you ever seen that?

Speaker 2 25:01

have you ever seen that minecraft video where he's playing in a super modded server? And he's down on the mines and something starts chasing him and he's like running up the stairs, panicking and screaming, and he turns around and he closes the gates just in time as the monster gets to the top. And then he rushes over to a nearby pen and clicks on a cockroach and it starts going and they start dancing around with some barrows and it was like that's the epitome of watching a horror movie, and they'd be like, okay, I need to cleanse my mind before I go to bed.

Speaker 3 25:29

So, uh, what was that the? Uh, I forgot, damn it, I forgot the name of it. I want you guys to play uh, a dinosaur horror game.

Speaker 2 25:44

It's not Ark Survival, I thought it was. Is it out yet? I think so.

Survival Scenario and Film Analysis

Speaker 3 25:49

Yeah, I see people playing it and when we get off of here, when we're off of the live, go look at the group chat. I sent it to the group chat I think. Oh, I'm going'm gonna check right now if you could, if you find it there, show tj, because I think, I think that would be fun if you guys played that one. I'd watch, I'd watch that shit for sure no, you didn't, I didn't send it there?

Speaker 1 26:09

no oh that'll be the next thing I do to the tiktok group chat probably they're here who the zombies?

Speaker 2 26:17

I thought the gate would stop them.

Speaker 3 26:18

They knocked it down instantly how much time do we have? They're already here, we should have bought that beautiful Los Angeles dream house in that safe neighborhood that Corinne showed us.

Speaker 2 26:28

I know it was so much more defensible and Corinne would have had us moved in before the apocalypse.

Speaker 3 26:32

Do you think it's too late to call her now?

Speaker 2 26:37

I'll try. No. No, we should have called Corinne sooner.

Speaker 3 26:44

Don't wait until it's too late. Call Corinne Salas today at 714-510-6443 and buy your Los Angeles dream house now. That's 714-510-6443. You can also find her on Instagram at nexthomebycorinne, or visit her website at corinnesalnexthomegrandviewcom.

Speaker 1 27:04

That's c-o-r-i-n-n-e-s-a-l-a-snexthomegrandviewcom did the movie successfully subvert or challenge horror tropes?

Speaker 3 27:19

um, wow, uh. That's completely subjective. Yes, it was very. Every single one of the tropes was very typical well, because it was meant to be, they played it differently so that's

Speaker 2 27:32

why?

Speaker 3 27:32

but that's the good, that's a good question was it subverting them or was it challenging them?

Speaker 2 27:38

I don't think it was challenging them.

Speaker 3 27:39

Are you?

Speaker 2 27:39

sure it wasn't challenging horror tropes, because it was literally playing in to every horror trope.

Speaker 3 27:46

Well, except for the challenge that I view is when that girl almost vomited just saying the words we should split up. So it's understanding like, oh my God, this is so stupid, this is so dumb, but we have to do this. That would be like a challenge of a trope? I guess so, and I think it did that more than it subverted them.

Speaker 2 28:09

I'm not going to lie. Subverted is a very big word for me. I might need a definition on that one before I continue on my thought process.

Speaker 1 28:17

Do you want me to define subvert?

Speaker 3 28:24

For the listeners. Listeners, you know to. Uh, I think they power and authority.

Speaker 1 28:28

Oh, that's complicated, I see.

Speaker 2 28:30

Yes that that helped just to overthrow, to undermine the authority challenge. I said challenge in there too undermine the authority, or well, I guess yeah, I guess it more challenged tropes, but I don't know.

Speaker 3 28:46

It also like the whole point of the movie was that it fed into. It makes sense that it it did undermine a lot of it. They used humor when it was challenging, so that I mean that's undermining, I guess.

Speaker 2 28:59

so yeah, well, yeah, because it was a very comedic movie. There was a lot of moments that the serious moments were still meant to be funny. Yeah exactly. Like the gay guy throwing up all over the killer. Yeah, because he's nervous. Foreshadowing, can I?

Speaker 3 29:16

Can I tell you something? Tj? Yeah, while Allison is tripping in the woods, shanika slaps her and says if you want to be somebody, if you want to go somewhere, you better wake up and pay attention. It's a famous line and a song from a movie. Do you know what movie?

Speaker 1 29:32

Do I know what movie.

Speaker 3 29:33

That that came from. Yeah, if you want to be somebody, if you want to go somewhere, you better wake up and pay attention. It came from this motherfucker looking it up right now.

Speaker 1 29:43

I'm not looking it up?

Speaker 2 29:45

No, it's okay, we don't see your face light enough.

Speaker 1 29:48

That's my other. I'm looking at you.

Speaker 2 29:51

Oh, yeah, yeah, we suddenly got so much brighter.

Speaker 1 29:54

Oh my God, it's the questions. Dude the question. I have a notepad right here.

Say the fucking line again if you want to be somebody, if you want to go somewhere, you better wake up and pay attention now give him five seconds to type it in my hands are here I'm waiting, I'm waiting, hey, siri, oh, look at that. All of a sudden the live is paused. Wait a minute. Do you have android?

Speaker 2 30:39

yeah, he has android are you trying to claim that android is a black person thing?

Speaker 3 30:44

yeah, government phones I'm here for it. I'm here for it. I'd say it's uh, it's a minority thing, it's a, it's a people of color thing yeah, us people gotta stick together, corinne has an iphone, apple, white people anyways bro, the movie is sister act 2, back in the Habit. Yeah, by Wolfram Goldberg Yep.

Speaker 1 31:03

If you didn't know that.

Speaker 3 31:05

Yeah, he Googled the shit out of that.

Speaker 1 31:06

That's not brain meat. No, because I knew the question. It was from IMDB.

Speaker 2 31:11

What was your question? Host, that's right. Host Plus one point.

Speaker 3 31:22

I would like to say host. I would never question your blackness, the way that alex just did, uh, actually, you do on the regular? No, I've got clips. No, will you survive gaming? No, what better think about everything you've ever said I'm coming back with?

Speaker 2 31:32

it currently thinking no, uh-huh, uh-huh, don't bring the receipts though a lot of the time.

Speaker 1 31:39

So you know I got a lot of there's been so many times.

Speaker 2 31:43

There's been so many. I have dirt on youtube. There's been so many times tj has said something wild and I'm like, well, I can't use that. And he's like are you recording?

Speaker 1 31:53

yeah, anyways next question what do you think you would survive this movie? Yeah, yeah realistically in this situation, you think you'd survive this movie. Yeah, realistically in this situation, you think you'd survive?

Speaker 2 32:02

Okay, so here's the thing Am I in this situation realistically? You're?

Speaker 1 32:06

in the exact situation. You got invited to the cookout and you're with all these black folks. Are you just so?

Speaker 2 32:12

No, because the second they Well.

Speaker 3 32:14

No, because the question was to no, because if I get invited, I know that my presence is just going to make them feel uncomfortable, so I'm going to opt out to give them their own space. I respect TJ's people too much to do that to them.

Speaker 1 32:28

That's why we gave them, you know, their own water fountains. I'm black, I'm black, I'm black, african-american. I'm not, I'm black, I'm black, african American.

Speaker 2 32:41

I'm not going to lie, this movie did not make me want to go to that party, because I'm immediately going to get voted out as least black, fairly. But I also don't want to die. That is true. So here's the question If I was there because I'm very white skinned If I was there, Rice skinned it white-skinned. If I was there, Rice-skinded?

Speaker 1 33:02

not light-skinded.

Speaker 2 33:03

I said white. Did you say rice-skinded?

Speaker 3 33:07

Rice-skinded Damn.

Speaker 2 33:11

More like bean-skinned, but White bean. Yeah, look, beans come in all colors, all right is true, it is there's black beans, there's white beans, there's brown beans what's the?

Speaker 1 33:27

what's the the most? White bean, not just color me I feel like lima bean lima bean yeah it's very white bean lima bean would be pretty.

Speaker 3 33:37

Yeah, garbanzo bean is definitely Mexican, is it?

Speaker 1 33:41

I don't know, it sounds kind of Mexican.

Speaker 2 33:45

Garbanzo sounds Mexican yeah.

Speaker 1 33:47

That is my wife's favorite bean Mexican jumping bean Besides me.

Speaker 2 33:52

I made that same exact joke, but everybody talked over it, so I just went and busted it. Sorry if I didn't laugh at your recycled joke fucking pity point you baby I'll take it, you big baby.

Speaker 1 34:06

I feel like I'm losing this episode, so I'll take it no, so like you don't think you could survive, or you think you would survive because you're not there, do you think you're invited to the cookout? Did I invite you to the?

Speaker 2 34:15

cookout.

Speaker 3 34:16

I think tj invites me yeah, I get invited to the cookout. I see I get invited to the cookout. I see I get invited to the cookout. You know why? Because, even though my skin is a different shade of brown boy do I cook up a mean set of spare ribs. I'll give the black people spare ribs.

Speaker 2 34:30

I could play. Hey there Delilah.

Speaker 3 34:32

What else? No, that's not it, baby back ribs, ain't the thing.

Speaker 1 34:36

No.

Speaker 3 34:36

That's not where it's at Spare ribs, you smoke them, you pull them off that fire after a few hours and that bone just slides out of him.

Speaker 1 34:43

You're invited to cook out. We're making chitlins.

Speaker 3 34:48

Chitlins. Your people eat those too. They call them something different. We also eat pig's feet, yep Grains. I got some in the fridge right now.

Speaker 1 34:54

Yeah. Well, what are we talking about now? Any wild stories about black people that you want to? Yeah, so this one time.

Speaker 3 35:06

Wow, okay, but I did have to say one of my favorite quotes of the movie. You got rosa parks on your shirt, right? Would she be sitting down right now? I mean, I mean kind of exactly what she did I mean? It's true, I don't know, she sat.

Speaker 2 35:22

Can we just say that chick swimming across the lake getting shot at by the arrows and just dodging and weaving the arrows while talking shit is hilarious, and then swimming back when she sees her friend getting beat up? Boss move. Pretty good friend right there.

Speaker 3 35:41

And then the light-skinned chick going wolverine on the guy crazy yeah, I like the uh, I like the line where, um, they were gonna go into the basement to go confront or whatever was down there, like I think we've pretty much proved ourselves. And then, uh, allison was like I'm gonna up here, keep watch with my eyes.

Speaker 1 35:59

With my eyes.

Speaker 3 36:04

I like that. Yeah, I like the whole movie. I thought it was funny, it was engaging. There were some parts that I was very anxious.

Speaker 1 36:15

And of course that was their aim Any survival mistakes or any good survival tactics happening in this movie.

Speaker 3 36:24

It's silly to say, because the number one survival mistake is being nosy about shit. That ain't your business. I realized that it was a game room. It was supposed to be something funny, but it's like I don't think me personally. I don't think I'm going to be something uh funny, but it's like I don't think me personally. I don't think I'm going to be interested in something that's like patently racist and want to find out more about it. But that's just me, I, I, I get it, but our, I mean, what is it? Curiosity killed the cat, right?

Speaker 1 36:54

so yeah, mind your business, you'll be fine I would like to say that when I was watching this in the theater, everybody was talking. Oh shit.

Speaker 2 37:03

That is awful. That is truly an atrocious crime against humanity.

Speaker 1 37:10

They're like uh-uh, bitch, don't go in there. No.

Speaker 2 37:13

Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 37:17

Me and my little sister went and she can vouch Motherfuckers were talking.

Speaker 2 37:21

That's pretty funny, I mean I would say in regards of like survival tips or like takeaways from this movie don't hide in a vent. I don't think it's a good hiding spot. Yeah, Any movement you make is going to make so much noise.

Speaker 3 37:37

It has to. It has to.

Speaker 1 37:39

You're just in thick aluminum foil, yeah.

Speaker 2 37:43

And then you have nowhere to go. Yep, it's just not a good spot.

Speaker 3 37:48

It's kind of what I feel about. I mean, I get the purpose at the point when they had to go downstairs into the basement, but that's exactly what I feel about it is never go down.

Speaker 3 37:56

I don't like the idea of one way in, one way out. I never like that. I say that all the time on the live when we're talking about the zombie apocalypse and finding a place to fortify never go down. I don't, that's me personally. I don't like the idea of going down. I will tell you something that's kind of funny. That happened on the live this week. So this guy comes on to the live and is trying to put me on blast. Right, I'm, I'm an Eagle Scout. What is your qualification?

Speaker 2 38:21

Strong start, strong start.

Speaker 3 38:22

Telling me you listen to this guy and you're going to die when I'm saying you want to do a two-step method with any water. You want to filter it, then you want to purify it. Oh, wrong, I'm like what?

Speaker 2 38:36

are you even disagreeing?

Speaker 1 38:37

with Like. This isn't even with the extra protein in it.

Speaker 3 38:42

I like my water with the carcass bacteria running into it.

Speaker 2 38:46

I like the freshwater brain-eating amoebas. Okay, so how about you keep?

Speaker 1 38:55

your little whatever you know. He goes into stores and shit. He's like can I get a military discount? They're like can I see your ID? He's like, yeah, I was an. They're like uh, can we see our id?

Speaker 3 39:01

he's like yeah I was an eagle scout.

Survival Group Trust Process

Speaker 2 39:03

I was an eagle that. So it's like, sir, this is a wendy's, that's what I just want my fucking baconator.

Speaker 1 39:11

That's what made me laugh instantly, I, I ended up.

Speaker 3 39:15

I ended up, uh, muting him for the live because he just wanted to keep running his mouth off and I was like dude, seriously, you're live, because he just wanted to keep running his mouth off. And I was like dude, seriously you're. You're like just trying to attack me, which the right thing to have told him is. You come from a argument from authority, which is a logical fallacy. You're not telling me what, why I'm wrong. You're just arguing in a chat to argue, where I'm more than happy to bring people up in the live. I'm just not going to tolerate that. You're not going to come in here and use my platform that I'm trying to build to talk about how great you are.

Speaker 1 39:46

Yeah, no, I think I might have scrolled past the live when that was happening, did you really? I don't know, I feel like I did. I don't know. I was like, oh, he's live. All right, I'm don't know I just I was like, oh, he's live, all right, it's always doom scrolling on tiktok.

Speaker 3 40:01

It's always when I have like a pretty good amount of people in there that these whack jobs come in and start like wanting to argue. I wish, like I did, have a really good exchange the week prior. Um, this man by the name of uh the the screen name was hunter uh marine veteran gave a lot of uh, good ideas, gave his perspective, which is really quite similar to what we say, where it would be very hard to trust anybody. You're more than likely going to not trust anyone outside of your immediate group and it will take a lot in order for you to actually trust them and for everybody to understand that your perspective is the same that everybody else's perspective is going to be. They're not going to just automatically welcome you into their group, which one thought that I had based on that is, we may be having to fight for catalina no, uh, if we're, if we're in like a survival situation, zombie, apocalypse type shit, I'm not just gonna immediately accept anybody into my fucking group.

Speaker 1 40:59

You're, it's gonna be a process, it's gonna be. I'm gonna ask you questions when you you know we first meet. I'll bring you in. I'm not just going to immediately accept anybody into my fucking group. It's going to be a process. I'm going to ask you questions when we first meet. I'll bring you in, lock your ass up for a couple days, further interviews will be held and then, if I feel like it, I'll let you out. But you're still being followed 24-7, gotta we?

Speaker 3 41:21

you know, gotta prove yourself, gotta prove yourself. Oh, there's a mission coming up you're going out yeah you're going and we're gonna find out if you're gonna put yourself first or you're gonna put the group first now I'm not. I'm not meaning to say that we would be like in, uh, the walking dead, there were these young, arrogant pricks who would go out on these runs and they would sacrifice anybody else but themselves, right? So it was like everyone else was expendable, not them, and you know that's clearly not the right attitude.

Speaker 1 41:56

But you get what I mean. Fuck that guy for coming in alive talking shit. He goes on my ass, I'll go tie some knots okay go tie some knots okay, you gotta.

Speaker 3 42:07

You gotta look at the uh, you gotta look at the chat oh yeah, no, I see, I was gonna bring up.

Speaker 1 42:10

My brother was in there.

Speaker 3 42:11

He said moon cricket, just in case we weren't.

Speaker 2 42:20

uh, what is it striked yet? We haven't been struck yet.

Speaker 3 42:25

That is crazy, but I think it's just because we didn't Good on you TikTok. We're just rolling with five viewers in here.

Racial Discussions and Podcast Banter

Speaker 2 42:33

Good on you, tiktok. I don't know. I thought the movie was. It was funny. Obviously, the whole point of it was race, but I'm not going to lie. When they let Officer White die I was like that's probably the most racist thing that happened, this entire movie.

Speaker 1 42:53

Just FYI, not getting bored with a whole ass. Blackface character.

Speaker 2 42:58

Look that shit was wild Pitch black with freaking red lips that shit was wild, but that was made by a black guy.

Speaker 1 45:36

That's what I said, yeah it should be like I think there should be two different qr codes one on the front, one on the back, like the one on the front's like smaller, the one on the back's huge and then the one on the back just like takes them to that video that we just that'd be.

Speaker 2 45:56

I'm feeling like we tied, because he's showing us the points.

Speaker 2 48:42

That's a solid point.

Speaker 1 48:44

There was a lot of plus ones, minus ones. Aleph got a plus three at one point, but then he got a couple of minuses. Overall y'all tied.

Speaker 3 49:06

So Ain't, no way, we were just talking about that.

Speaker 1 49:09

We were talking about that off of the podcast? How? Often we tie, it happens organically this is not set up, okay, so editor tj here from the future. It ended up being 10 minutes of double rock paper scissors and I cut all that out because nobody wants to sit through that. So here is the end of it to decide the winner. Back to the show. Regular rock paper scissors.

Speaker 3 49:32

Go.

Speaker 1 49:33

Whoever?

Speaker 2 49:34

loses loses. Whoever loses loses, ready, yeah, let's go Rock paper scissors shoot, god damn it.

Speaker 1 49:41

And Eric wins the loser loser by his own hand, literally I don't know what to say about what just happened, literally I like that eric, I was giving you a fat ton of points, uh, throughout this whole episode, I was also financing a lot from him. It just so happened that you both had 10 points Damn this is rigged as fuck, exactly. Yeah, and it's completely arbitrary. I wasn't like you know, I was just like, oh, I like the way he said that, or like whatever.

Speaker 2 50:12

This is bullshit.

Speaker 1 50:14

Alex, would you like to give a winner's speech?

Speaker 3 50:21

Well, everybody, I love being the winner of the podcast and I look forward to being the host of the next episode so I can take you on a thrilling adventure. I will let the boys know later on well, probably tomorrow morning what we're going to watch and I'll post it in the Discord for all of you subscribers so you can follow along with us. But thank you for the uh, the journey that we're on, and I look forward to my first hosting in uh, or my second, my second hosting, but my first movie hosting of 2025 is this the first time we recorded in 2025?

Speaker 1 50:53

yeah, so technically I'm the first host, but I'm not the first to host because, right, yes.

Speaker 3 50:59

Yes, I did the podcast wrap which would come out. That'll be the first one in 2025.

Speaker 1 51:03

Oh no, what was?

Speaker 3 51:03

the last one. Oh no, Today was technically 2020. That was Maggie.

Speaker 1 51:07

I was the first to host this year. Let's go baby Eric loser speech because you're a loser. You lost the episode, yeah. I would like to say that I'm telling you, if you send me 25 right now, you can win.

Speaker 2 51:21

This is starting to feel super, super rigged because I feel like I haven't hosted in quite a while it's not rigged, it's just you suck and I think that I would like to rally the community behind me and saying that this is unfair. Uh, this is rigged. I clearly should have. I clearly should have. We don't even have that. We can't just adopt their constitution distractible part two I I would like to just say that you know I will gracefully accept this loss um, but I think it's uh bullshit.
