George Milton:

and it's awesome and we're rooting you or against you and cetera. We've got a really great episode for you today. IE we have no idea what we're gonna do. I have some shit. Brent has some shit.

Brent:

We might veto some shit.

George Milton:

shit today. Yeah. We're guys, we're as, as per usual. We've, we've well established this over all, how, all the episodes that we've done I'm handing you all everybody gets two golden. Embossed veto cards the, the updated rule on veto cards. You can use them for pretty much anything. You can veto another veto card. And the other rule is you must use all your veto cards this episode.

Brent:

Oh shit.

George Milton:

otherwise, yeah, otherwise there's dire consequences. I can't tell you what they are for legal reasons, but dire consequences

Brent:

let me get my ones here that I saved from last. Wait a minute. They're gone. Where'd they go?

George Milton:

disappear. Yeah. They magically disappear after the end of the episode

Brent:

man.

justin:

To accept your mission, they will explode.

George Milton:

yeah, they will explode. Guys, we're gonna do, I think we all have, Justin, you've got some segments this week.

justin:

Yes. I have a really fun, fun segment because I like movies, so I wanna do something on movies.

George Milton:

Okay. Alright, hold on to that. Surprise. Brent, do you have some segments this week

Brent:

Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Definitely got some segments this week.

George Milton:

You

Brent:

I've prepared'em in such a way that I'm I have one new idea that I think is a cool one, and the other one that I'm almost banking on people vetoing. So we'll see how it goes.

George Milton:

Okay. Well that makes me want, not wanna veto it, but I know that I gotta use my veto card. I both veto cards. Cool. Well, do you guys want to how, how do we want to decide who goes first? Why don't we

justin:

the captain here, George. Why aren't you're steering the ship? Why don't you lead us down the rosy path of goodness

George Milton:

I hate steering the show. I hate steering the show. Okay. Why don't we kick off with one of, with. My maybe only segment, an anchor segment. Give advice to random people on the internet. wait. Before we do that, Brent just got back from Brazil. Can we mention that? That's awesome. How was Brazil? I.

Brent:

Brazil was a really fun trip. We had three shows while we were down there in South Palo. The first one was for a really rich guy's birthday party, and he rented out this venue that had really cool lighting. It was packed with a bunch of. Fun loving people that was, really vibing with the show. We had a couple of local Brazilian musicians that joined us on stage bass player and drummers. So the rhythm section back there that we called up for about half the show. Second two were corporate events that were still, pretty cool considering they were corporate, but got some time to really enjoy the city and taking the culture. Work on my Portuguese and all that stuff.

George Milton:

It's awesome.

justin:

special requests? Like what was the theme of the music that they wanted played for the

Brent:

Surprisingly, and I think one thing that a lot of Americans wouldn't necessarily expect about Brazilian culture is that even though speaking English is not like a really common thing in Brazil, like if you're, if you are. A high leveled corporate type person that's dealing with a lot of international business, then sure, you're probably gonna know it, but the common citizen doesn't really know any English down there. But English language music is extremely popular in Brazil. Like almost every, anytime you jump in the cab with a. Uber driver or cab or whatever their radio station is probably on a pretty similar like mix station to what we would be listening to here in the States. I know, a good bit of Brazilian material, but the typical dueling piano show stuff that are all the big hitters here, tend to go over pretty well down there as well.

George Milton:

That's, it's so like you, you'd, you mentioned that you play, you're playing for a rich guy's birthday. I've played for, I've played a number of like rich, rich people's birthdays I, I'll say that like rich people birthdays. Justin, you've probably been to or worked a handful of rich people birthdays in some capacity. I imagine you've been to, they are so fun.

justin:

fun events.

George Milton:

I did one.

justin:

listen, money. They say money doesn't buy you happiness, but it buys you a lot of cool stuff at birthday parties. So

George Milton:

Cool

Brent:

Yeah, and that makes me happy.

justin:

Yeah. If I

George Milton:

Can I,

justin:

Brent to come do a dueling pianos at my birthday party, I would be very

Brent:

Probably gonna be in a good mood then. Yeah.

justin:

Yeah.

George Milton:

I can't even I can't even afford to hire my friends to play at my birthday party.

Brent:

And to give a little bit of foreshadowing.

justin:

George. Yeah. We can't even hire George for our own block party.

Brent:

Yeah. If you have enough money,

justin:

fine.

Brent:

if you have enough money, you can actually get Florida, Georgia Lion to come play at your birthday party for you. And

George Milton:

you can God,

justin:

We, should look into this. I

George Milton:

for like,

justin:

some money for

George Milton:

for like$15,000. Florida, Georgia, Georgia Line can play Your birthday party

Brent:

I'd love to, we should get an over under on it, maybe that I don't, I'm not prepared for it, but that would actually be a really good segment for the future episodes. I'm gonna find some information on some b, and we are gonna do an over game on how much would it cost to get this artist to play your.

George Milton:

Well, I saw that. That's a great,

justin:

think. It's

George Milton:

yeah.

justin:

Like some of them is not as crazy.'cause we were at these, we were up in Michigan for the summer and they had this cool little concert venue and there was like, they had like bone thugs in harmony coming through. They had like, power Man, 5,000. They had Yachty crew and they had all these like kind of known. At one point, bands that come, a lone star came through, I'm amazed by you. And you're like, how? Like it's gotta cost them, you

George Milton:

Didn't

justin:

dollars

George Milton:

Didn't Lone Star do? Oh, what was the other song that Lone Star did that? Like Rascal Flatts. Rerecorded. Didn't they didn't Lone Star Do Life as a Highway first?

Brent:

No.

George Milton:

I, am I making that up?

justin:

they, had a couple bangers,

George Milton:

trying to remember.'cause I feel like there was another.

justin:

I was kind of surprised because I was like, oh, I know this song, I know this song. And I thought I only knew the one song, but, you know

Brent:

I can say

justin:

I don't

Brent:

Googling right lone.

justin:

Walking in Memphis, walking in

George Milton:

Yeah, that's right. That's what I was thinking about. Yeah. The, yeah. Lone Star's big thing was that they covered walkin in Memphis.

justin:

Yep.

George Milton:

like when, when everybody, when there was like a resurgence of people requesting walkin walkin in Memphis, part of it was because Lone Star covered it in like the early two thousands or something.

justin:

Yeah, that was

Brent:

Google doesn't have that list as one of theirs. I believe you, but Google and

George Milton:

yeah. It's not one of theirs.

justin:

Okay.

Brent:

I see. That makes.

justin:

you real numbers. They don't pay artists, but they give you real numbers.

Brent:

There.

George Milton:

I wa I was just thinking like one of the, I thi this probably belongs in, in, in two lies in a gig, but the most interesting, rich person's birthday I ever went to, I played some guy's like 30th birthday at Brazos Hall here in Austin over on fourth Street, and they had so many, they had like. many vendors entertainment vendors, like overlapping entertainment vendors. So they did like a casino thing, so they had like a vendor come in and set up all these casino games. then at one point we had, it was me and Johnny King. Shout out, shout out Johnny King. We were, we were playing this thing and. We were doing, we were trying to do a dueling piano show, and at the same time, they had a, they had a live dj. then while the live DJ was going on, they had what I can only characterize as a donkey show. like a sex, not like a sex or like weird donkey show, but like they had a.

justin:

is there.

George Milton:

donkeys in and like put'em on a stage and we're like, these donkeys do some tricks. And it was like, we are over there trying to play like Sweet Caroline and the DJ's trying to play stuff at the, and it's like Brazos Hall is not so huge that you've got like, know, sections we're all like playing to the same,

Brent:

Yeah.

George Milton:

people.

Brent:

What is it with? Every time I've done a show in Brazos Hall, it's never just been like the show. There's always been 30 things going on in that room simultaneously

George Milton:

know.

Brent:

that I, it's like whoever goes into that.

George Milton:

like I've played the, I've played Brazos Hall for a couple of like private events like that, and if they have food catered, the food caterer has to set up in the alleyway, like where the trash water is, just like

Brent:

Yeah, that alley sucks too.

George Milton:

The alley. That alley sucks. It's a sucky alley and it's like you'll have like the caterer back there with like the food that people are about to eat, just like open on tables in this like nasty alleyway.

Brent:

Yeah. And when you say

justin:

down the alley if you're hungry and get free

George Milton:

Yeah, yeah. I'm

Brent:

When you mentioned like the trash water, I know exactly, because it doesn't matter what the weather's been doing for some reason, back there in that alley around the dumpsters, there's always. On the ground.

George Milton:

Yeah, it's always trash water. We. We went to a show at the Paramount last night, and like we went, we parked in the, in the parking garage over there and we like came out. The parking garage is, it's a, it's a labyrinth, but you come out in the alleyway behind the Paramount Theater and like we came out the door and it was, it was not a stinky alleyway. Alleyway. And Aaron was immediate, like immediately, like this is one of the nicer alleys I've been in. It's like. I wasn't gonna say that, but I, I agree with that. Anyway, guys, let's start our show. Let's start our show. I'm glad that Brent spec

justin:

Vito, the podcast. Let's go everyone. Vito, this song.

George Milton:

vetoed. I'm just kidding. I'm not actually using,

Brent:

No too late.

George Milton:

using my shit. All right. That's one veto card down for me. That's fair enough. Okay, let's, let's give advice to some strangers online. I didn't pull a ton of these, but there's some g there's some good ones here. Question number one, how to start reading question mark. I'm very curious about a lot of topics, religion, philosophy, mythology, but every time I get a book about something that I'm passionate about, I lose all concentration from the first page. My mind drifts away, or I catch myself finishing a few pages, but can't recall what I just read. It's like I go into flight mode. Did you have the same problem? How did you become able to read a whole book and derive meaning or knowledge from it? So the question is, how do I start reading?

justin:

Hooked on phonics.

Brent:

Yeah.

justin:

phonics. Worked for me.

George Milton:

Did you really do hooked on phonics?

justin:

No, it's, isn't that always the thing? It's like I learned from hooked on phonics. I, think this is, I think this speaks to a bigger issue of. How our attention spans nowadays only last for like eight seconds. You know, it's like we can't, because of social media, because of everything, it's like how we can't focus on anything.'cause our brain is, you know, running a mile a minute and then you start getting into other reasons of how, you know, you got a DHD or whatever. You're just kind of all over the place. It's hard to kind of focus in and, and take a deep breath and, and just read. I think sometimes even I, who loves to read. You'll, you'll read over a page and you forget like, oh, I gotta go back and read that page again, because you're like, oh, I don't know what I just read. You're go, you're moving too fast, or you're thinking about other stuff. don't know. I think you gotta go kind of just find a nice, put your distractions away and do the best you can to like, put phones away from you and, you know, maybe bring a notebook next to you and write down something that's popping in your mind so it doesn't distract you and just kind of muscle through it a little bit.

Brent:

Yeah, I'll back that up. I think with,

justin:

can.

Brent:

the other thing that I feel like I'm noticing with a lot of these advice questions is that they, most of the time. Really seem to suggest that it's a young person asking this advice because not to say that other people that aren't young don't struggle with the distractions of the real world as they're trying to settle in and concentrate on something to read. But I think by the time you get to a certain point in life, you don't feel the need to ask other people. You don't necessarily ask for advice. For those types of things anymore. To echo what Justin's saying, yeah, sure, write something down. If it pops in your head, maybe that will help distract you. But I don't know, maybe also if you are reading something and you're having a hard time concentrating on it, maybe you're not as interested in the material as you think you are. Or maybe like you could be interested in a topic and it just might not be written well. But whenever I have something in front of me that I'm genuinely. Say if something crazy happened to a public figure in the previous week I'm gonna have a pretty easy time digging into that and figure, and reading stuff. But if it's something I don't care that much about, then it's just always gonna be a little harder to stay on topic.

George Milton:

Let's try reading more interesting stuff,

Brent:

Yeah that's.

justin:

Yeah.

George Milton:

I think I, I, so I, I will find myself having a, a similar problem sometimes where it's like, like, oh, I'm really, I, I'm really interested in like quantum physics or something, because I find quantum physics. but I can't, I'm, I can't read like hard technical quantum physics stuff, you know, like if you read an actual, if I'm like, oh, I'm gonna read an actual, like quantum physics book that's about like hard technical material. I just, you know what I mean? Like two pages in, I'm on Reddit being like, guys, how do I read? How am I supposed, am I possibly supposed to read? How should I be expected to read this? I could, like, I could read like a entertaining fiction and it's just like the time will fly. So I think there is something to like get, find something that is, that is a little more entertaining. I mean, you do have to like, do have to just like be quiet and sit down, sit still for a little while, which I think a lot of people, kids these days really have trouble with. You know, especially when they come over to my house, I'm feeding them green m and ms, they're all hopped up on sugar. I guess green, green, M and MSM don't have the dyes and stuff, but you get all hopped up on sugar. Man, it's hard to, hard to concentrate. I mean, right now I've got, let me count'em. I've got like 19 tabs open on my internet browser, and I feel like everybody does that with their brain all the time.

justin:

You gotta close the things down and shut it down. And,

George Milton:

You gotta close down some tabs,

justin:

gotta

George Milton:

you know.

justin:

Limit the distractions. I was like listening to this podcast this week and there it was. Charlie Sheen is back around talking about his book and his, and his, he's got like a documentary on Netflix and he was like, yeah, I wonder why you know, you know, I was, I was trying to figure out why I was such a dick during that time when I was going crazy on everybody. It was like, oh wait, I was doing a lot of cocaine and testosterone, so, you know, put those two together. Oh yeah, maybe that's why it was causing me to go a little crazy. It's like, yeah, you gotta like look at what's around you and affecting you.

George Milton:

I know you didn't mean to, but you just ruined part of one of my segments by talking about Charlie Sheen. Charlie Sheen has been,

justin:

know what I just said. You could, you could delete it out.

George Milton:

no, I'm not gonna delete it out. And your veto card is still intact. I won't. The only veto card used is mine to stop you from singing the theme sewing Charlie Sheen. Wow. I've, I've had a lot of Charlie Sheen in my life this last. Week, like Shame came up the other day, like times in, in one day. And then I ended up watching, or I guess rewatching hot, hot ones or hot shots.

justin:

Part one or part duh.

George Milton:

Part one, part, the, the one that's actually like the top gun.'cause I think Part D was, was Rambo parody. Right.

justin:

Yes. Yes.

George Milton:

Man, that's such a stupid movie. It's such a dumb movie. Holds up. It holds up. But it's so dumb. I can't believe they released it in theaters. Anyway, what are we saying to this person? How to start reading, read something entertaining. Put your phone away.

justin:

A.

George Milton:

get a graphic novel. Read a comic book.

justin:

Yeah, maybe you need pictures.

George Milton:

All right. I think we solved it. I've got one more that I can't, let me, I'm, lemme just throw this in and then I wanna, and then I'll move on to someone else. But just, I gotta get this one in here it's I, as you guys know from the last few episodes of doing this, a lot of the advice requests on the Reddit advice thread are about like romantic advice. Somebody got cheated on whatever. This one is not romantic advice and it's just, I think it's gonna be maybe a best of, maybe a best of advice on Reddit. Let's get our takes on this boner after beasting. Yesterday I traveled to another country. After I arrived, I did some work and in the evening as I was heading to my hotel, somehow a bee got under my shirt and I got stung a few inches under my belly button. It was very painful and the area got swollen. Weird thing is I got a huge boner right away. Last night, I thought it would go away if I slept it off, but to my horror, it's still there. As I woke up, thought it might be morning wood, but nope, that fucker is raging. I tried everything. I'm in another country and I have to go out now to do things as scheduled and I have to deal with it I give up. I just need someone to assure me I'm not going to die, and it will go away someday.

Brent:

Let me just jump in and start off by saying if there is a legitimate concern, and this goes for everybody, if there's ever a legitimate concern for your health, I don't, I'd recommend maybe not asking people on the Reddit and, actually seeking out maybe some professional advice instead of a bunch of fucking internet edge loads. But in this case, I would suspect, you get stung and maybe whatever your body's doing to try to heal that up probably increases some blood flow to the area. Hopefully it's not a perma boner, although if I'm picking between a perma boner or a never boner, I think I'm gonna go with maybe the perma. But I, yeah. I would seek medical help. Like they say on that Viagra shit, if it's there for what, six hours or something you wanna contact this guy, slept it off wakes I don't know, but he might have woken up with a boner anyway. Like how long did he wait before he dropped this line on Reddit? Did he, are we talking about technically two separate boner? Like you had a stinging boner and then morning wood and just because you were sleeping, you thought it was the same, maybe it's two separate bone, you don't know. But my advice is to get advice.

George Milton:

yeah, he is trying to get advice. He's here to get

Brent:

No, no professional advice. Get advice from someone besides me on that, is basically what I'm saying.

justin:

I mean fun. George, I feel like the Funko has some good advice for people with Mega Bon.

Brent:

What's your phone?

justin:

maybe. Maybe he's just found his new kink. Maybe he likes a little pain. I don't know. I'm not here to judge you. Maybe you should just wake up and try to rub it out and see like if that takes care of it. We don't know. Have you tried all options? I'm just saying.

George Milton:

Let's see, let's see if we can piece this together. He said yesterday he traveled to another country in the evening, he got stung by a bee. And then he wakes up and it, and the boner immediately gets a boner and it's still there the next day. I have to go do things. So it sounds like

justin:

his, his safe word. He needs to figure out, establish a safe word.'cause clearly he likes a little pain.

Brent:

But if you need to go do things, come on. We've all had to utilize the boner into the waistband of your pants so that it hides. Every guy's been there.

justin:

Tuck it. Tuck it, and go, baby, tuck it and go.

George Milton:

Tuck and go tuck and go. it does, he does have an edit at the end. He says, he says an edit that says, okay, it's gone. Thank you for your support. He didn't say how long it took, but he does say that it, it's, it swell up beneath his belly button, which is in that area. So I imagine this is just kind of like some swelling happened, but I think that like, Hey, yeah, if you got a boner and you gotta go out into the world. Mean, I don't know if I can assure him that he's not gonna die. He's asking, he's asking, he's asking pubs to like assure him that this is not gonna cause him to die. Hey, people die from bee stings

Brent:

I, this is stupid place to ask advice for this question.

George Milton:

Yeah. Yeah, he probably should have been at the doctor. I will say, this is more information maybe than I should give to the internet, but one time I, one time I bought like a weird. Brand Energy drink from Big Lots. I don't remember what the, remember what the brand was, but it was discontinued almost immediately. And I, I had I had a situation where I had to deal with that, like that weirdly, this, this energy drink that I was, that was supposed to be like a pre-workout drink. Just had it had more effects than that and I had to go out into the world in that state. And I mean, I like, that was when I was in college and I skipped, I like skipped class that day. I, I

Brent:

You just rub it out.

justin:

Yeah. Did you take advantage of the situation? You were rock hard. Let's go.

George Milton:

Well, I didn't go to class. I'm, I'm saying that I didn't do the things that I was supposed to do that day, so I don't, I don't know if I would, I mean, you're saying tuck it into your waistband and just go on with your day? I don't,

Brent:

After you've tried to resolve the issue, obviously,

George Milton:

try to resolve the issue and then stay home. Like say, Hey man, I got, I got sick, I got stung by a bee, and I feel bad. Go to the fucking doctor.

Brent:

That's all. I'm the time.

George Milton:

I think.

Brent:

That's my whole point.

George Milton:

doctor. Go to the doctor. I know it's probably embarrassing to show up and be like, I got a B boner, but

Brent:

Boy, if I've, if I had a nickel for every time I had to go show the,

George Milton:

How many nickels would you have? Finish that sentence.

Brent:

of.

George Milton:

Okay. That's, I've I've got a couple more, but let's throw it over. I'm gonna throw it over to, to to Justin, because Justin hasn't done a segment yet. Justin, you gotta

Brent:

I, I hear that he has some new ones.

justin:

I here to bring, some fun guys. I,

George Milton:

Yes.

justin:

listen as the resident director. I love movies. I love seeing all movies. I just got to go see, you know, the old, the original Batman on the big screen recently and that was such a, a cool thing to see, you know, movies that I didn't grow up

George Milton:

Michael Keman.

justin:

Michael Keaton, Batman, Batman and Batman return. So that was cool to see both of them on the big screen.

Brent:

I thought you meant Adam West.

justin:

That. Speaking of boners what's his name? Robin. Always. They had to like, fun fact, they had to, they had all these problems with his big package and they had to like, put bread around it to mold it and not it like a whole big, make it a big thing on tv.'cause

Brent:

Oh, there's a big thing. All right.

justin:

League had a problem with it. It was a big thing. So I

George Milton:

Super

justin:

had,

George Milton:

used to be way worse. It like it was just,

justin:

So we're gonna do a, a fun segment overrated, underrated, or perfectly rated about some of the biggest movies. I hope you've all seen I love movies and I know Brent loves rating things. So we're gonna talk, we're gonna talk some movies today. We're gonna go down. We're probably the last. Pure movie star that we have in this country. He doesn't have a brand, he doesn't have an alcohol company, he doesn't have a clothing line. He's just pure. That's right. The one

George Milton:

Yes, the ultimate movie star.

justin:

Cruise. Let's ride. Ah, way to the danger zone. That was the intro. That was the

George Milton:

Yeah.

justin:

so with that, we're gonna start. With the Seminole 1986, we have to go to Top Gun.

George Milton:

Oh, okay.

justin:

perfectly rate it, underrated it or overrated, and why?

George Milton:

I just re-watched Top Gun not too long ago, the original one in preparation to watch the new Top Gun, which I actually never did. Have you guys seen the new Top Gun?

Brent:

Fuck. Yeah, it was amazing.

justin:

is the best I could watch. I've watched it probably like 20 times, no lie, like

Brent:

It's really good.

justin:

where we watched it. day we're like, I wonder if Maverick's gonna complete the mission today. We should watch it again. And then you like see the jets go and it's awesome.

George Milton:

Well, like Top Gun was a, was a cheesy movie, but I think that it's, Top Gun is perfectly rated. I mean. To say that it's like to say that a movie like that was underrated, like it's an all time classic, like Top Gun is a classic movie. I don't think you could say that it was underrated, but a great movie. And I think all the like, I, I feel like I remember it being a really big deal that they, that they got all of that, like actual flight footage, like that combat fighter footage and put it on the big screen in the eighties, like that was a really cool thing. that they did. Obviously Tom Cruise, hugest movie star in the universe. I don't know. I was just looking it up on IMDB. IMDB has it as, seven stars, seven outta 10, which feels too, which feels underrated.

Brent:

Yeah, no, I was gonna, so I think if we're talking about it that way, as far as what. IMDB might have something braided as, or like Rotten Tomatoes or what have you. Those might, yeah, if it's saying seven out of 10, I'll say in that regard, it's underrated. But I think I'm gonna side with what you'd originally said that when it comes to popular opinion. I view Top Gun as being one of those movies that's universally agreed at just being one of the big dogs of all time in the movie world. And I think rightfully like I think Tom Cruise is an absolute fruitcake. Just a nut bag to the extreme, not necessarily a great guy. There's a lot of marks we could say on his personal record that don't show that he's just like that quality of a human. But we're not gonna sit here and pretend. Like he hasn't picked some just amazing movie roles and then gone in there and absolutely crushed him. Like the guy's good at what he does. Like we can't pretend that he's not a good actor. Top Gun, as George was saying, just really did some things that had never been done on the big screen before and maybe you could argue haven't been done as effectively since then. So yeah, I think a Top Gun is rated in public opinion very highly and I think it absolutely deserves that rating.

justin:

I wanna come in with a slightly little bit of a hot take here, and I

George Milton:

So.

justin:

Top Gun, but my problem with Top Gun has always been the ending of Top Gun. I feel like he fights the MIGS and it's like out of nowhere, like they're not in the battle. All of a sudden he's like fighting these things. And it's like blah, blah, blah, and it's the end. I guess that speaks more to like eighties style of movies where it was just like. You know, testosterone and synth music and it was like, awesome. So I'm gonna go Top Gun while I love it. Slight, the slightest overrated just because of the ending, which I think they fixed in the new Top Gun. That's, where I'm going with that one and much. And I love Top Gun. I just think the ending is this wonky, weird, out of nowhere thing.

Brent:

I think it's what you said though. I think that the those types of tropes were just very common in eighties movies. Eighties movies. Grown as a people to appreciate more like nuance in, in movies like everybody that you can't have a villain anymore without them having some sort of tragic backstory arc. Whereas back in the eighties it was like, Hey, this guy's the bad guy. What's his motivation? He is the bad guy. That's his motivation,

George Milton:

guy. Yeah.

justin:

I just felt it was like, no, it was just like, it wasn't like they were at war. It was all of a sudden they're like, eh, now we're fighting the Chinese. And you're like, where did that come from? But

George Milton:

they do. Just, I mean, like there, there's a scene I'm trying to remember'cause it's been like, I, I can never perfectly remember like the plots and scenes of movies, even if I just saw them. But I remember just like when I was recently watching it, like there's some weird shit where, what's the, what's the chick's name, Charlie, or whatever. Who's his, like love interest in top, in the original Top Gun

justin:

I'll have to look that one up. I don't, I don't remember.

George Milton:

Whatever her,

justin:

was her name, but,

George Milton:

Kelly, McGinnis, whatever her name is, whatever her name is in the in the, in the show. Like they, you know, they meet each other. And then I just remember there being a scene where he like goes over to her house and on his motorcycle and he's like, I gotta go away or something. And it's a whole, and it's like, didn't you guys just meet like three days ago?

justin:

But they fell.

George Milton:

There's just like a,

justin:

in love Charlie. Charlie was her name. Charlie was her name. you go.

George Milton:

yeah, But it was just like, I don't know. It's all that movie stuff. I think it's properly rated, but I don't know. I just really love the, I really love like the, the, the, like racing, the racing, the, the fighter jets with the motorcycle,

justin:

yeah,

George Milton:

just like all the.

justin:

just love, the volleyball scene. Let's be honest, George, you

George Milton:

I love the volleyball. Dude. That was that when men were men, right? Am I right guys?

justin:

just

George Milton:

When, when men were men

justin:

Yeah.

George Milton:

just grease them. Men you don't, and you don't need a bunch of chicks and bikinis to have a hot beach scene, right? It's just, it just can be guys. Just being guys, what, what are vetoing?

Brent:

No you can't have a hot beach. She with no ladies. They're integral.

justin:

We have hot, we have hot park scenes in our neighborhood all the time with just a bunch of dudes running around with no shirts on and raid your panties. It

Brent:

Alright.

George Milton:

Okay, Brent, vet Brent, are you using your veto card?

Brent:

I don't even know what my V two card's going towards, but if you want me to.

George Milton:

Well,

Brent:

I just wanted to say the word veto. I got excited.

George Milton:

If you use your veto card, then there can be no more beach scenes without bikini

Brent:

Okay. There. There we go. What's.

justin:

There

George Milton:

all

justin:

The next movie, we're gonna, we're gonna go, I'm going one, I'm picking one from each kind of decade here. That was the eighties. We're gonna go to 96 right now to the original Dun Mission Impossible Original Brian De Palma. go say

Brent:

I'll comment that based on your vocal rendition there. I didn't know until you said the title, what song we were talking about, but now that you've said the title, I do. Continue.

justin:

like Jaws, those that same, that intro is like James Bond. There's the Jaws, there's the Mission Impossible intro. and Mission Impossible is, is crazy.'cause I don't think when this first one came out, don't think anyone thought they would do like 20,000 of them and they would all still be really awesome. So.

George Milton:

loved Mission Impossible, like when the first Mission Impossible came out. Didn't he do that? Was he like, blows up the giant fish tank with the explosive gum.

justin:

Yep.

George Milton:

That was an awesome one.

Brent:

Well, I. I think a little I think overrated because here's the thing. Out of all the things that happened in that film, from the very beginning up till the closing scene, I didn't see any of them. So how good could it be if I didn't even watch it? Overrated.

George Milton:

Wait, you haven't seen Mission

Brent:

I've never seen Mission Impossible.

justin:

Well, you should have used your

George Milton:

Okay.

justin:

card there because now I want to veto you because you should have seen, you need to go back and watch. Well, what's interesting about the, the original Michigan Impossible is it's very psychological thrillery. Spy feeling. Brian DePalma makes this kind of like dark and noir kind of thing and you know, now the, the newer ones are like these big action spy thriller, Tom Cruise on a space jet walking without a space suit kind of thing.

Brent:

Yeah, didn't Mission Impossible just come to be because Tom Cruise was mad that he couldn't get cast as James Bond, so he just made his own James Bond.

justin:

Well,

George Milton:

Sounds.

justin:

impossible. It's that I, I would not doubt that.

Brent:

I making that up right now, but it sounds like it be true. Justin's mics gone. Oh, you muted yourself.

justin:

There we go. I muted myself by accident because I vetoed myself. No, I was saying that they I think it was based off of like this old TV show or something like that, but I would truly buy that. That Tom was like, I wanna be James Bond, but you can't be James Bond, so I'm gonna just make mission impossible. Really? Dope.

George Milton:

Do you think it couldn't be James Bond because he can't do really do accents?

Brent:

I would love to hear a whole video. I would love to hear Tom Cruise.

justin:

shrimp on. The Bobby

George Milton:

too.

justin:

Say you about the original mystery and impossible.

George Milton:

The original mission Impossible. I wanna, hold on. I wanna see what it's, what IMDB has it rated as, I, I would, I would rate the original mission.

justin:

10.

George Milton:

That's underrated, man. That is underrated. I think in general most of these movies are gonna be like, I, I like the, these like mega kind of blockbusters I think are gonna be properly rated. But I think that the original Mission Impossible is a fucking tur tour de force. I thought it was a great,

justin:

When he

George Milton:

yeah. I thought it was a great

justin:

over the

George Milton:

that, yeah, that's a, yeah. The, the cable scene, what did that,

Brent:

That's pretty iconic.

justin:

see, there

George Milton:

Yeah. It's like the, it's like the Catherine Zeta Jones and Entrapment or whatever. Like everybody, knows that like. Thing of her going, going through the laser field, even if you've never seen the movie. This is his Catherine Zeta Jones going through the laser field.

Brent:

Yeah.

George Milton:

I, I would say underrated if anything, like, just a purely excellent movie and I want to go watch it again this afternoon.

Brent:

It seems like our theme for the movies here. Is obviously Tom Cruise for the week. Did you have another Tom Cruise movie you were gonna throw in this mix?

justin:

I have one that is in my opinion, underrated. It is from 2014. Doug Lyman directed this really crazy sci-fi movie, Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt Edge of Tomorrow.

George Milton:

Of tomorrow. Oh my God, dude, I have been, I have had that on my list. I've not seen as of tomorrow, but like that's been on my list for fucking ever. I think, I think that my opinion is probably also gonna be underrated when I see it, but I, like listened to some interview with Emily Blunt. I don't remember who the interview was. I just know that I was listening to it with Emily Blunt. Joke, but it was, she was talking about Edge of Tomorrow and like she was talking about working with Tom Cruise and like. How he was always just like, yeah, let's go do it. Let's go push ourselves. You can do it. And I was like, man, I wanna make a movie with Tom Cruise.

justin:

I mean, it's really, think every, I don't know if they messed up the marketing on it. they, halfway through, they changed the way that the title looked and you know, to try to sell it better. But I think people slept on it and didn't realize dope of a

Brent:

I'll say we're getting even further off. My usual mark in the sense that the first one I have an opinion on. Second one I'm familiar, but haven't actually seen it. This one I vaguely remember the title. That's all I got.

justin:

See, that's what I'm saying. That's why it's so underrated. I think you have to go and make Do yourself a favor this week and watch it because is pretty sick. He keeps these aliens come down and it's like a battle of humans versus aliens and a Tom

George Milton:

Like

justin:

a

George Milton:

it's like, it's like Groundhog Day. It's like sci-fi Groundhog Day, right? He lives the same.

justin:

Yeah. He leaves the same day over and over and over again, and every time he dies, he learns something new about the battle that they're having against the aliens and how to defeat them, and he can keep getting further and further along in the battle and,

George Milton:

spoilers. I already know how it ends, but no spoilers for how it ends. I haven't even seen it and I know how, I know the spoiler for how it ends. Ah, it sucks.

justin:

Go see it anyway. Well,

Brent:

throw a Tom Cruise in there?

justin:

Crew. Yeah, you could throw

Brent:

Throw one in there because this is one well opinions minority report.

justin:

You know, I was gonna put that on the list because that's very interesting. I heard that come up. Somebody was talking about pre-crime recently or how to stop, and it's like a very interesting conversation, especially nowadays with. You know, not to get serious, but like crime stuff, it's like would you be able to stop a crime? Is it right to stop a crime before a crime happened if it doesn't happen? You know, there's that whole context of minority part. I think that movie is pretty dope. I think it's kind of perfectly rated'cause I think people do really like that movie and I think it did really well the box office at the time as well. Like it was really

Brent:

and may, maybe you're right, my recollection, like I, I don't remember if it I think it did pretty well at the box office too, but my recollection was more, I feel like people were always kinda shitting on that movie and I really enjoy that movie. I think that, I think it's shot well. It's got some exciting parts and as you were mentioning, I think it brings up just some very. Interesting. Like ethical questions that, whenever it gets into, and especially like the farther we get into this technological ramp up that our society does, like the more those types of things kinda become relevant. Like we're not at a point where there's any meaningful way to like predetermine fu future crimes, but potentially, not necessarily like we're gonna find ourselves some, oracles or anything like that. But like there, they might, I could realistically see someday there being some type of thing that you could use, really advanced AI to look at behavioral patterns that are recorded on someone and maybe find realistic ways that you could determine the risk factor of someone doing any given crime and if we were able to get that accurate enough. Then could there be some argument made for someone being like this person is 99% sure gonna commit this crime. Do so I just think it's an ethical, like an interesting ethical area to explore. So I would say for me, from my recollection of what that movie was received as I've always felt it was pretty underrated myself.

George Milton:

Yeah, I think Minority Report, I'll give it a slight underrated rating as well.

justin:

Yeah,

George Milton:

It was a pretty, I think I, I do remember it being a, being fairly a good box office performer, but I'm not sure

justin:

did about three, it did about 350 million on a hundred. Million dollar budget. So it wasn't like amazing. But I think that was, that was back

George Milton:

350 million like globally or.

justin:

globally, but that was, that was in 2002. So you know, inflation I don't know. It seems like it.

George Milton:

hundred million is a huge budget for a 2002 movie.

justin:

but it was Spielberg. So Spielberg, Tom Cruise, lot of sci-fi, lot of effects. Colin Farrell, young Colin Farrell. Yeah, I think

George Milton:

Younger,

Brent:

titties though.

George Milton:

Tom Cruise.

justin:

it's It's, gonna, I bet you we're gonna see some more kind of spinoffs of that movie because of AI and you know gonna happen.'cause I think you're right. I think it's

George Milton:

Movies will be written. Those movies will be written and performed by AI as well.

justin:

you know, listen, as someone who uses AI to try to like, help write stuff, it can't write scripts anytime soon. It is terrible at writing scripts. I'll just say that.

Brent:

Great. Coming up with concepts though. Great concepts to base a script around.

justin:

It's great at coming up with concepts. It's great at rewriting your stuff, but it can't, like, I think that's the human element of.

Brent:

Yeah.

justin:

things right? Like, you know how we can be all over the place. Like that person who said, oh, my brain goes all over the place. I can't read. It's like, yeah, because you're firing thoughts over here. You're, you're firing thoughts. You, you know, were unpredictable.

George Milton:

remembering? Am I remembering Minority Report correctly in that like they had precogs

Brent:

Yes.

George Milton:

and they had to like, the, the people who were supposed to see the crimes had to be submerged in like a milk bath.

Brent:

Kind of. Yeah. There was three of them. Yeah, it was just, no, it was water. But they were just in that tank. They were, there was a pair of twins and then another guy. But yeah, all of them were basically kept in a almost like hallucinogenic state. Like they were just, they were, they kept'em doped up where they basically weren't even really like living. They just lived in their mind and were cared for, by their. Caretaker there.

justin:

me. Did you see. This is going off on a different movie. We're outta the Tom Cruise world folks. But did you, that just sent me into did you ever watch, don't Worry Darling. The movie from a couple years ago.

George Milton:

Never even heard of that.

justin:

It was, well it was big all over the news'cause it was like Harry Styles, Olivia Wilde, that's when they started having the affair and they got together and she directed the movie with Florence Pugh. And, and it's basically these people live in this like utopian world. But what's really happening is the guys, when they go off to work every day, they're going back to the real world. They're unplugging from like the AI matrix and they're like doping up their, they have trapped in that world with them. So it's like keeping their, the one guys, keeping his wife alive in the real world She starts realizing that some things are weird and she kind of breaks out of this AI space, but it's like they live in this idyllic world, but it's really all a facade and people are

George Milton:

Faade,

justin:

yeah, it's a facade.

George Milton:

speaking of a facade. guys, let's take a quick break for a word from our

Brent:

excuse your sponsors.

George Milton:

for our future sponsors and we'll be right back. Welcome back. Everybody's got their coffee. Everybody got had a poo poo. Brent, I wanna kick over over to you, man. We've done, me and Justin have both done segments today.

Brent:

Okay. Well, I, I had something that I was going to kind of reintroduce, but before we do that, let me just start with the one that, you know, I have the highest. Confidence won't get vetoed because I think we all like the game. Two lives in a gig. I've made some preparations for this week

George Milton:

All right.

Brent:

for those of you that might not have checked out before, this is where I using my. A couple decades of bla experience of playing live music professionally will recall on some incidents that have happened to me in the past. Although I'm gonna fabricate a couple of these, turn'em into something that didn't happen and accompany it with one real gig story of which you will try to guess which one is the truth. So are you guys ready?

George Milton:

I think I'm

justin:

Let's ride.

George Milton:

that I've

justin:

I'm, I'm doing it.

George Milton:

I won one of these.

Brent:

You did. So far, we've done four of, or I'm sorry, we've done three of these in total. Today will be the fourth. On the first two. Neither George nor Justin managed to score a point, but then immediately following that on the third one, we had a

George Milton:

I got a point.

Brent:

the board George had done it. This one I will say I am a little bit worried that. I may just, whenever we were bullshitting sometime in the past, there's something in the back of my mind that says, I, I might have already told you guys this story, not realizing we would ultimately be doing a bit like this. So I'm worried that the whole day might be flawed because if I've already told you the true one, then you're gonna by nature know which ones you know are, are fake. So I can't even swap it out with a real one. So that's my concern, but I'm just gonna go into it. We'll see what happens. The first one I have titled as Michael's birthday. This was actually one from back in the day whenever I first was getting out of the live music scene of, of cover bands and, and solo shows and getting into due pianos. This actually was back in Indianapolis in the year 2012, and it was a pretty typical. Birthday call down for, you know, I remember the birthday boy's name was Michael, so his friends give us some money. This guy came in with a pretty big crew, like, you know, I mean, not to say that that's unusual in a piano bar. People come in with large groups all the time. But this one, it, it just, it definitely seemed more like. There was a different dynamic of it that it wasn't like a group of friends hanging out. It really seemed like they were all here for Michael. So they get him up on stage. We kind of do a a birthday call down for him, which we were just trying to get him to, you know, do a stupid dance on the stage. And the thing was, he wasn't really like participating that much. He instead kept, I mean, he, he was, he would start to do it, but then he kept walking towards the side of the stage. Where there were a few waitresses there, and he kept getting really handsy with the waitresses, not. In a way like, I don't know, it was just too much for, for public comfort. It just kind of made everything awkward. He was obviously very drunk, and the point of it is that by the end of this whole stint, you know, we sing him Happy Birthday, we get him off the stage, but he spent the rest of the time that he was in there. Continuing to just kind of be handsy with the waitresses and, and to, you know, kind of getting attention for himself throughout the whole show. We ended up not like, you know, abruptly kicking him out, but he was, he was asked, they were asked to leave. But then the next day and this was at how the moon in Indianapolis how the moon got tagged with a bunch of stuff saying that we were rude. But whenever we realized that the last name of birthday, boy Michael was Phelps. So that was kind went

George Milton:

Celebrity sighting maybe.

Brent:

Celebrity sighting. So the next one titled as very Private Party. we do private parties a lot, especially for things like birthdays, but anytime we play a birthday party it's pretty much guaranteed that you're playing for somebody fairly rich.'cause I mean, I, you know, the prices that Pete's charges for those things. I, I mean, I think start at like, you know. Like$6,000. I mean, so unless you're pretty well to do, you're probably not spending that on just the entertainment for your party. So this one was the first time I've ever had the lady that does the booking for us us an email and she was like, Hey guys, I know this is a little unconventional, but they need you guys to sign NDAs to do this party. And I'm like, why? couldn't really figure out what was the deal. So it

George Milton:

Suit eyes wide shut. Did y'all do a eyes Wide Shut?

Brent:

No. Is it? Well, I, I haven't seen that either, so I don't know. Maybe we did. We didn't. I I think there's naked people in that. There's, you know,

George Milton:

There's a piano player who has to sign an NDA and play blindfolded sex party. Yeah. Spoilers for eyes wide shut.

Brent:

Maybe I kind of did a bit of, said, I've never seen the film, so they, you know, she says We have to sign India, and we are both me, and it was Nick that was playing this with me. We were both just kind of like. Okay, this, this is why, I don't know why you, like, that's kind, that's a weird thing. Why would you, who, how important do you think you are that like, I'm not gonna be talking about your party on a podcast or anything. It's not like I need

George Milton:

violating an NDA right now?

Brent:

so she, you know, enforces that it's for a a Texas political figure. Or maybe it was like an aspiring one. The thing is, I still. I couldn't even my NDA now if I wanted to because there's no fucking way that I could recall this person's name was. Like it definitely definitely wasn't like Greg Abbott or Ken Paxton or one of these guys that we know their name. He's like, who gives a shit? Texas, who cares? You know, I was offended that they're making me sign an NDA. Like it mattered, but we, we get there, it's this ranch out and like. Kind of, you know, north central Texas, like halfway between here and Dallas and where you drive two miles between each house. At this point we go out on this big like ranch thing. This guy has got a whole room part of like his barn area that is dedicated. So these private parties, which tells me they must be doing this stuff regularly. So we go in, load up the pianos, I'm doing all the, you know, production stuff. Nick doesn't get there till later. We get in and this thing just got like more and more escalated throughout the night. Like we, it starts off with booze, of course, but then they start breaking out like the weed you, and, and obviously, you know, I'm no stranger to the, to the ganja. So like that, that's fine with me. And, and at this point I'm like, well, that's probably why the, you know,'cause weed's illegal in Texas. He's a political figure. That's probably what it is. Then they start breaking out the cocaine. I'm like, oh, Jesus Christ. Okay. I guess that's what's going on there. And then all the, you know couples are basically, at this point, they're all drunk and fucked up. And so like, they're all making out with each other. I don't see anybody really get naked, but they're all just like, you know, all over each other on thing. But then you kind of start noticing, wait a minute, I think that lady wasn't she, she getting them with him and he started noticing, oh God, they're all just kind of swapping all over the place. And then finally the finale of this whole thing is these swaps continue going on. Until like a, a good majority of the men are hanging out on other men too. And this ranked as one of the most awkward parties that I'll ever play in my entire life. But after all this stuff was going on, it became very apparent. Like, oh, that's the reason why the NBA

George Milton:

I ask a, can I ask a quick clar, can I ask a clarifying question? And this is not to try to throw you off.

Brent:

No,

George Milton:

But just when you say they started breaking out the weed, or they started breaking out the cocaine, like I just imagine like s. Like servants in, in like tuxedos coming out with like a silver tray and like, and like opening it up and it's, and it's just like a mound of cocaine on it.

Brent:

Like, but the, that imagery for the type of party it was, is, is accurate if you really want to get the picture in your mind. But in the case of the, the drug things, it was more like party guests that were just like, you know, but they, you know, that, that they had, it was just like joints. I mean, they weren't like breaking out like bongs on some tray or like that, but it was just, it was, I mean, they weren't, nobody was hiding and it was all being done just out in the main room, like with the all of it.

justin:

Did you get, did they give you a blunt? Did you get some weed?

Brent:

That I was offered, but, and I, I felt like, you know, I, I'm gonna have work. I, I try not to, I, I'll go off, like out of sight and do things, you know, I'll, I'll hit, I'll, I'll, I'll take a hit before I go on stage or something, but like, even if the client's doing it, like while I'm working, I don't, I'm just, I'm, I'm a constantly professional while I'm all on the job.

justin:

You are a true professional.

George Milton:

Handsy Phelps eyes wide shut.

Brent:

ass gig. don't wanna, I don't, I, I don't ever wanna do anything that would like risk this sweet situation I was going on. So, yeah, I just play on the safe side of things. Third story I've titled is Bridal Dash. This one happened in the bar in Austin. There was a big bridal party, all girls from New Jersey. And you know, it's one thing that me and a few of the guys up there at the bar have regularly joked about is that there's something about bridal parties from New Jersey. I could guess

justin:

Let's go.

Brent:

Jersey. Jersey. Like you can just fucking tell Jersey people. If you're out there listening, are you doing? Come on,

justin:

Well, as, as, as a j, as a jersey boy, I can tell you that yeah, Jersey can go off. Born and bred. Jersey goes hard.

Brent:

The the, the bridal party is going great. We get'em up on stage. They're all you know, partying with each other. I don't remember what the, what the bit was that we did for'em, because the important part was that they all go outside. To either leave or have a smoke. I don't really know if they were intending to come back because we're in the middle of the show and we can just see out of the window there. From the stage, you can see in like in the Pete's Austin room, it's kind of a, a long, like a long. Not deep room. I like the, like when you walk in the door, it goes really far back, but it's not very wide. The stage is in the middle of that. So if you're on stage it, the back of the room's not very far from you, but the sides go a long way. And the side toward the door, you can see out of the window. We see a big commotion out there only to realize that this entire. Bridal party is having a fist fight with each other only, it's not really divided down the middle, we see everybody's beating the holy shit out of one person and that one person was the bride. The bride was getting beat the by her entire party, and they got

justin:

She was getting jumped in.

Brent:

I guess so. But yeah, a good portion of them got drug away in in handcuffs for the night. And that's the story. I'm titling bridal dash. So between the three stories of Michael's birthday, very private party or bridal dash there could be elements of truth in all of these, and in fact probably are, but ultimately the story has represented only one of these happened, as I said. Which one is it?

George Milton:

Brent, first of all, I'm vetoing.

Brent:

ask polar clarifying

George Milton:

No, I'm vetoing the title of the second one, and I'm renaming it Eyes Wide Shut.

Brent:

Okay.

George Milton:

So now

Brent:

So we have three. We have Michael's birthday, eyes Wide Shut, and Bri Ash. I probably would've named it that if seen the film, I'm gonna have to actually go back and watch that, because also I think there's Nicole Kidman titties in it, if I recall. And I wouldn't mind

justin:

Oh,

George Milton:

can't remember. I wa I watched the whole movie blindfolded. So

Brent:

Oh good.

George Milton:

that's what you're,

justin:

he was the piano player.

George Milton:

Yeah. So now, now I burned both, both of my

justin:

I.

George Milton:

cards. So we've got Michael Phelps being handsy. We've got an an incredibly escalating, sounds like a swap meet kind of a party. With unknown political figure. And then we've got Bridal Bash, I just feel like the Bridal Bash has the, has the most ring of truth to me. Like all of these, all of these are, are similar to like experiences that I have had playing gigs. I've had some version of all of these experiences, but man, I, I wanna, how, how are you feeling, Justin? I know we're not collaborating, but.

justin:

I, I, I mean, I know which one, like I want to be true. Yeah. Like there's one that I, I am like, that seems like Jersey to me. That definitely can happen. go hard. I've seen it down at the shore. The Jersey shore is real, but to be fair, a lot of the people from the Jersey Shore are from New York. So you can't equate all of Jersey with the Jersey shore, but the one for me that I just want to be true. I want to, I want you the eyes wide shut one to be so true that you were just playing pianos and shenanigans were happening all around you.'cause that sounds awesome. Hilarious and a good time. I know it's probably not true, but I definitely want it to be true for you, but I thi still think you should have smoked a blunt with that.

George Milton:

Are you, are you vote? Are

justin:

So I'm, I'm going, I'm voting eyes wide shut as the truth.

George Milton:

okay?

justin:

So help me, God.

George Milton:

I'm gonna vote. I'm gonna, I'm, I'm voting. God. 12 handsy Phelps feels, feels real. They both kind of feel real, but I'm, I'm, I'm gonna vote for Jersey girls. Beating the shit outta the bride. That's just

justin:

Yeah.

Brent:

Bridal,

George Milton:

bridal

Brent:

if we're going by your

George Milton:

I'm good. Yeah, you're right. I'm, I'm voting, I'm voting bridal bash.

Brent:

I'll say, George, you're picking one that I, I think if, if anybody was gonna write a cliche about Jersey like that, you'd probably say something like that,

George Milton:

Sure. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. You're right, you're right.

Brent:

you know one of these I'll, I'll say that. The one of you have Sport Point again.

George Milton:

Yes. Who scored the point?

Brent:

In this case, the true story. like, I'll go ahead and tell you the, yeah. Since one of you scored a point. Yeah. The Michael Phelps birthday one, not, not true. Michael Phelps did come into the bar, but he was totally behaved and was not kicked out. And we knew that it was Michael Phelps when he came in.'cause he was very famous at this point.

George Milton:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right.

justin:

Did he request a song?

Brent:

I don't remember that. I don't, I don't remember that it, it was more that, you know, he, he was coming in he did have like just a big posse with him. That all seemed to be just sort of worshiping the ground that he was on. No, he was. He was, he was behaved. But yeah. So the true story of this week is going to be bridal bash. That what actually, I mean, they

justin:

Yeah.

Brent:

they beat the holy piss outta this girl. I'm talking like on the ground, kicks to the head. She gets up like bloodied in the face. Know, some of them got pulled off in handcuffs and like. I'm still pretty sure that all of them considered it to be a really fun bachelorette party. You know, I don't get the impression that even the Bachelorette who got the shit beat out of her would've changed the thing. You know, I just like, I think it was just the most Jersey time they could have had.

justin:

I wanna know why. I wanna, like why are they what?

George Milton:

you probably don't know.

justin:

Who slept with whose cousin? Like who slept with whose cousin? Let's go.

Brent:

information.

justin:

I.

Brent:

but yeah, it, it must have been something like that considering how unified they all were against the one person, you know. So that's kind of funny, although the eyes wide shut, one to tell you the, where that one diverts from the truth. Honestly where that one diverts from the truth was the weed. Even that didn't even happen. Like still me. I, I'm still offended that I'm like, you think you're so important that I have assigned an NDA to come to your lame ass party? And also the part that's real on that really was in this like. Room where in the middle of like, like miles between houses where they had just this party room constructed. Like the guy was obviously very rich, had this party room constructed. We came in there and like, it couldn't have been a laborer party. Like the fact that you think that you need to have an NDA sign because you had like three drinks with your buddies at your house. Fuck outta here.

George Milton:

So you're saying, you're saying none of the, none of the like, crazy stuff happened.

Brent:

nothing happened.

George Milton:

like, like they were just, were just, they were just chilling at the,

Brent:

were having a reasonable amount of drinks at home and felt like an NBA needed to be signed for that. So,

George Milton:

yeah.

Brent:

just a, yeah, self-important dickhead that is a, a wannabe, you know, politician Texas guy. He might not have even, I wanna say maybe he was even like running for something like, wasn't even, I don't know, it was just stupid. But yeah, I had assigned an NDA for nothing.

George Milton:

That's funny. I

Brent:

were hypothesizing about what might go down and why they would have us signed in BA and all of our hypothesizing about it is

justin:

I did.

George Milton:

I gotcha. were like, what is this gonna be Some kind of eyes wide shut party

Brent:

Yeah, no, and I haven't.

George Milton:

okay,

justin:

That's awesome.

George Milton:

you should wa I would say eyes wide shut. Not a, not really a re watcher, but it's a watcher for sure.

justin:

I mean, Stanley Kubrick, right? Like, so it's,

George Milton:

much of a, like, I gotta be in the right mood to rewatch a sta a kubrick. Like it's not just like.

justin:

Yeah, you have to be outta your minds a little bit to like,

George Milton:

just like I'm gonna plop down and be like, oh, I just watched Eyes Wide Shut. I could watch it again. Nope. Guys, I feel like we're doing a lot of, we're doing some like celebrity themed stuff and I want to jump in with a, with a segment that I think it'd be a pretty quick segment.

justin:

Yep.

George Milton:

segment that I'm calling Wanted Dead or Alive this.

justin:

Wanted.

George Milton:

is this, this segment is just, this came out of like I was sitting around with some friends the other night and we just couldn't figure out if these celebrities were dead or alive. And I feel like there's, there's a group of celebrities that people just don't, are not sure. Are they dead or alive? So I'll, I'll do a few of them. First of all, let me leave a blank spot here in case anybody wants to veto this outright. Two, one. Okay. here we go. Let's do a

Brent:

it.

George Milton:

Let's do a couple of these, and I'll tell you one of them, which I feel like you, I feel like Justin fucked up was the, well, I'll start with the one that Justin fucked up, Hollywood wild child who went from Brat Pack, member and platoon and Wall Street to the highest paid actor on TV in two and a half men. Then came the tiger blood, the goddesses, the public meltdown, and hashtag winning. He burned bright, burned fast, and burned publicly. Charlie Sheen, dead or alive.

Brent:

Nobody

justin:

I mean, as someone who probably sh Yeah, as someone who probably should be from all the stuff he did, like all the drugs and everything, he is very much alive in the hashtag winning still

Brent:

Yeah, I,

justin:

apparently,

Brent:

is an overly easy one. I would like to be more challenged than that.

George Milton:

okay. Yeah, that's fair. fair enough. Do I have a

justin:

I.

George Milton:

The human cockroach of rock and roll, rolling Stones, guitarists who survived everything, heroin addiction falling outta palm trees, blood transfusions, and decades and decades of excess that would should kill mere mortals. What do we think, Keith Richards dead or alive?

justin:

well, the cockroaches are still here, so he's still here. Come on.

Brent:

that's what I'm saying. Yeah, we, we again, this one may be a little more difficult, but not much because one thing that any person in the know can tell you is that Keith Richards is actually immortal. He's been 137 years old his whole life. And that's not, that, that hasn't changed. So a life.

George Milton:

Yeah, he is. He is alive. I might have to veta this se se segment if it's too, it's too easy okay, here's

Brent:

one at, you may see if you know this one. Here. Let me throw one.'cause this might be difficult. All right. Similar to what you'd said, definitely having his heyday in the late seventies and early eighties becoming kind of a almost underground icon of a very specific genre of, of rock. Still alive or is he dead?

George Milton:

kicking Pop Stu.

justin:

I feel like I. Is this like the Mandela effect? Like I feel like I saw something that he died. yes. I'm going to, God, gosh, a great googly, mogley. I'm gonna say dead.

Brent:

See. Alright, so this segment can be good because no Iggy Pop, in fact just played a show in Sao Paulo while we were down there. Iggy

George Milton:

Oh

Brent:

alive, but still touring.

George Milton:

Okay.

justin:

There you go.

George Milton:

Pretty good. Pretty good. I have, I have a billion of these and I wasn't really sure who is gonna be tough or not. Iggy Pop's a good one. How about this the cockney charmer who seduced the audiences as the womanizing Alfie in the sixties then became an action icon in the Italian job. In Get Carter, he's won two Oscars for supporting roles, been knighted by the Queen, and somehow became Christopher Nolis Nolan's lucky charm. Appearing in Batman begins the prestige inception, interstellar and dir, his catchphrase. Not a lot of people know that became as famous as his distinctive voice. Michael Cain. Dead or Alive

justin:

I know this one'cause he's been in the news because he's coming out of retirement at 92 years old to be in the last Witcher sequel. So he is very much alive,

George Milton:

working.

justin:

still working.

Brent:

one was harder at least because you know, I mean, at least. in terms of what's going through my head, clearly not hard for Justin. Justin was right on the money with that one. I'll throw one out there. Alright. A guy that really made hi a name for himself in the action movies of you know. The, the, again, late seventies, early eighties, but he was then famously in a, a car accident, which left him kind of crazy in the mind for a good majority of his life up until falling out of the public eye. Several years back. Gary Busey, alive or dead.

George Milton:

Gary Busey is one of those who like should be dead, but is. alive, I'm guessing alive. Busey alive.

justin:

Busey, huh?

George Milton:

you guys get

justin:

Yeah, he is

George Milton:

confused?

justin:

all the time. I'll say Gary Bey's still alive as well.

Brent:

You know what? Surprisingly yes.

justin:

That was a good one.'cause I like, again, I feel like I've seen things and I'm like, did he die? Did he should be, but no.

George Milton:

Okay. Last one. Last one guys.'cause we are running low on time. Where is it? Where is it? How about this one? That unmistakable voice that narrated everything from March of the Penguins to the Shawshank Redemption. He didn't become a movie star until his fifties, then became one of Hollywood's most respected, respected actors, God himself and Bruce Almighty Morgan Freeman, dead or alive.

Brent:

Surely

justin:

let Brent answer'cause I know this thing.

Brent:

I I, I, haven't heard anything from or about Morgan Freeman in a while, but I would feel like I would very much remember the news of him dying. I couldn't have missed that.

justin:

Yeah, he's definitely alive.

George Milton:

alive and thank God that he is, Hey everybody. Thanks for listening to our podcast this week. Brent, thanks for joining us. Right after coming back,'cause you came back from Brazil, immediately did a gig, and

Brent:

but we, I, I, I, I, I have to veto the ending right now,

George Milton:

okay, you have the power to

Brent:

at least, yeah, I got my one card left. I, I at least wanted to throw. Throw it back out there of you know, we, on our very first meetup started a hall of mediocrity where we brought in our one inductee that we have so far, Florida, Georgia line and to the Hall of mediocrity. We'd set a category as you know, new age country pop, and that was what the one that they want. So. It, because as I calculate, I think we still have 17 more minutes of available time to hang with each other. I'd love to induct a new person into the hall of mediocrity or a new thing. It

justin:

Let's see who you got.

Brent:

Well, no. So the, the idea here is that all throughout a category, then we each need to nominate a person or thing. From that category, for example hall of Mediocrity. I think the category that I really wanted to explore here, the Hall of Mediocrity for, for movie snacks, like what would be the movie snack that like, you know, you're, you're gonna eat it. You're, you're not just gonna let let it sit there, but you're not really excited. You know, it's not like, it's not like someone brought you like a bunch of crunch or anything when you put in your popcorn, it's just, you're like, eh, god damnit. Alright. And then you still

justin:

Red Vines. That's an easy one. I'm going straight Red Vines.

George Milton:

most mediocre?

Brent:

for that though? Yeah. I mean, like what's, what's

justin:

Yes, because, okay, so I, I, I guess it's like an East coast, west Coast beef, you know, it's like Biggie and Tupac style. It's like people on the West Coast love Red Vines. I don't know how in the, in the middle of the country people feel about either, but east it was Twizzlers. Red Vines to me just taste like chemicals, like they don't taste like cherry or anything. It tastes like this weird hollow chemical tube thing.

Brent:

But you're still

justin:

And even the textures, like, I mean, I have been known to eat a I've, I've still put it in my mouth from time to time when I'm in desperate for something

Brent:

So I, I'm

justin:

in my mouth.

Brent:

nomination for the Hall of Mediocrity category of movie snacks, like I'm going milk duds. It's, it's one of those things that like, I, I'm never really gonna purchase it on my own. Every once in a while, somebody does, for some fucking reason it's there. And I'm telling myself before it even hits my mouth, I'm like, don't do it. It's gonna be caught in your teeth, and you're gonna be so distracted by trying to free your, your teeth from caramel that you're gonna miss the next two scenes of this movie. And yet after, after it's there every minute, it's, it's, I'm gonna end up chewing on it. And then the whole time I'm like, God damn it. Why did I, I told you not to do it, Brent. You did it anyway. so

George Milton:

tell you, right? They tell you right in the title that it's gonna be a dud. was gonna say milk duds too. I mean, I think, I feel

Brent:

you go. Milk D. It's in

George Milton:

I feel like to, well, I feel like twizzlerss to, to kind of take the, like, I feel like the, like licorice just, it's like half of people hate licorice and half of people like licorice. And so maybe would average to mediocre. I'm, I've never had Red Vines, but same thing, right? It's, it's just Twizzlers or is it worse than Twizzlerss?

justin:

It's worse than Twizzlers.

George Milton:

Okay.

Brent:

so what? You have to give a, a inductee nomination as well, and then we have to pick the, the, the winner out of those.'cause you can't vote for your own.

George Milton:

I can't vote for my, I, I've gotta pick one that's not milk duds.

Brent:

right? Yes. Yeah. Or Red vines

George Milton:

Do you guys remember,

Brent:

truly

George Milton:

you,

Brent:

Then you just,

George Milton:

do you guys remember what dots do you remember the dots Candy?

Brent:

do, I know exactly what dots

justin:

Oh yeah.

Brent:

gummy things, but

George Milton:

Yeah. Yeah. The kind of little gummy, like they're, they're not really, they're not really anything. I would just, I like, it's, if you're like, classified this

justin:

Are

George Milton:

I don't even know how to cla. Like, is

justin:

uncomfortable.

George Milton:

Like, is it a, i, I don't really know what it is, but it's just kind of like sugar and it's Like

justin:

Mom,

George Milton:

milk duds. I will have a second one

justin:

can I these shoes.

George Milton:

I'm not much of a movie snacker, but like like, I'll eat it. It's not so bad. I mean, I think that the point is that like it can't be so disgusting that you just not, you just can't finish it.

Brent:

it's just bad, you know?

George Milton:

I feel like dot, I feel like dots. If I, if I'm not allowed to sub double submit milk dos, I feel like dots is my submission.'cause it's just so down the middle. It's just like, I don't know what this is.

Brent:

then. I'll say that now that we have three nominees and given the rule that I can't choose my own between red vines or dots, I'll, I'll have to give my vote to dots because for that exact reason I forgot about dots and probably would've never thought about them again if you hadn't said it just now. And what could be more mediocre than something that just left your mind? It wasn't even bad or good enough to keep a, keep a space in my head, you know? So I'll, I'll back up Dots. I feel like Red Vines maybe have a little bit more support behind them. I think you could find more fans of that than you could dots. So I'm gonna back up. Dots is mine. So which of you would like to cast your vote next?

George Milton:

Justin's muted

justin:

Sorry. I will go. Yeah, I forgot. I heard kids screaming in the background, so I turned it off. Anyway, I will go with milk duds because I do like milk duds, can't vote for red vines. Dots, I don't really feel like a movie snack. I don't think I've ever seen them in the movies. And those are just like sugar on, they're like acid. They're literally tabs of acid on paper. That's what they always reminded me of.

George Milton:

just little

justin:

So I'm gonna go with, if we're going movie snacks, I do like milk duds, but I do get the point that they'll like get stuck in your teeth forever and ever and ever and ever. So I'm going, I'm voting milk, duds it.

Brent:

Now before George goes on his vote, just to kind of remind one of the rules of this the, the oh, you know, so the, yeah. The rule on this being that. If a majority isn't had by somewhere. So for example, if you were to vote Red Vines right now, that would

George Milton:

Yeah,

Brent:

each thing just has one vote and nothing makes it into the hall of mediocrity. So to have an inductee, we need to actually have something be, on. So George, you

George Milton:

between,

Brent:

Yeah, but you have to, you can't, you can't vote based on that. You gotta, you gotta, you gotta vote from the heart, you

George Milton:

but it's between Red Vines and milk duds for me.

Brent:

duds. Yes.

George Milton:

Guys, this might be controversial. gonna cast my vote for Florida Georgia Line. So, where does that

Brent:

Use use your

justin:

I, I veto, I used the veto. I veto that

George Milton:

All

justin:

that vote.

George Milton:

All right. I'm gonna vote for, I mean, I think I've said it already. I'm gonna, between those two, I'm gonna vote for milk beds. I feel like, I feel like I feel like licorice is too polarizing. It's

Brent:

Everybody. is truly an historic day. We have come up with a second inductee for one of the most soon to be famous lists of all time added to the prestigious category or in the ranks of those like Florida, Georgia line others. Someday, we now have milk duds as the most mediocre movie

George Milton:

Milk duds are

Brent:

milk

George Milton:

Duds are the Florida, Georgia line of movie snacks.

Brent:

That's what we can say officially now.

George Milton:

And I think that I can take us out today with the of

justin:

To do it.

George Milton:

outro this podcast, which is Bring Your Song.

justin:

windows down and.

See you next time.
