George Milton 0:49

welcome to Veto the podcast, the unofficial podcast of 2025 World Series Champions, the La Dodgers. I'm your host. I'm your host, your umpire, and your fun uncle, AKA funk, who lets you stay up late. Watching R rated movies. George Milton. I am joined today at shortstop by Brent Bobbit. What's up, Brent?

Brent 1:14

Yeah, I brought snacks to the fun uncle sleepover party.

George Milton 1:19

Oh, well, I mean you didn't have to'cause I got all your favorite snacks. What'd you bring?

Brent 1:24

Uh, I got the, you know, the moon pies that are not the doubledecker ones hard find these days, but to me it's too much graham cracker with the doubledecker, like

George Milton 1:32

think so? Okay. All right. I had, I had combos, I had just like all the combos, all the different flavors of combos, obviously. Like,

Brent 1:41

I didn't grow up in a rich family like you.

George Milton 1:43

well, I know. That's why I'm the fun knuckle. Uh, and I'm also bringing up to the mound today. Uh, today's starting pitcher. Justin Schafer, who is honestly having a really fantastic season so far. Justin, what's up dude?

justin 1:58

I'm having a fantastic Weekend World Series Champions, baby. We are just, uh, living the dream back to back. Let's go. I'm hyped up on candy, tequila, no sleep and adrenaline. I'm here for it.

George Milton 2:12

Yeah, man. We're, we're definitely dating the episode like by saying it's Halloween weekend 2025 and the Dodgers just won the World Series. Last night, I don't wanna brag, but I was at a Halloween party and they were doing that thing where they had like horror movies on, on a, on a, you know, like a projector. And then they turned the, they turned the World Series on because it got really, it got really interesting. I'm not really a, like, I'm not a sports, I don't follow sports, but what a game. It was a, it was a good game.

justin 2:44

I mean, it was unbelievable. My heart stopped about five times and, uh, you know, as a, as the resident Dodger fan here, I'm very hyped up. I was at game three, which was 18 innings. My heart almost stopped then, and now we're here. So it's a great, it's a great week. It's a big week. We're ready to go.

George Milton 3:06

It is been a real ride for, I mean, this is, we're not gonna turn this into a sports podcast, but been a real, been a real ride for the Dodgers. 18 innings is like a lot of innings.

justin 3:16

It's two games. Man. I like was like, does that mean though my tickets half price?

George Milton 3:21

Uh, I mean, you paid full price, but you're only gonna need the edge. Wait a second. I said that wrong. I, I did also want to take the opportunity while we're talking about baseball, to let you guys know, I went to, um, I went to my first little league game last week. Um,

Brent 3:42

Um, you don't have kids.

George Milton 3:44

I, well.

justin 3:46

Were

George Milton 3:46

right. No, I went, uh, I went with a friend of mine who has, who has a kid. And this kid was pitching. Yeah.

Brent 3:56

I'm

George Milton 3:56

And

Brent 3:57

friend has a kid.'cause if it was just like you and your buddy going to a little league game,

justin 4:01

A six pack. They're just like,

Brent 4:02

but it is weird.

justin 4:03

it's frowned upon.

George Milton 4:05

it was, uh, so it's like nine and 10 year olds. But they're playing at that age, they're playing like actual baseball. It's not like. It is not like T-Ball or like they're playing actual baseball rules. So it was really interesting. And I did, I did get to watch, uh, one of the coaches got thrown out of the game and he, and he got thrown out of the park. They like made him go wait in the parking lot.

justin 4:30

Go to your car.

Brent 4:31

get about a 10-year-old game? He

justin 4:33

People get crazy. Dude.

Brent 4:35

Huh?

George Milton 4:35

Well, I couldn't figure out why he got thrown out. I think he got thrown out because. The par the parents were getting too rowdy and they like, were holding him accountable for, I don't know why, but like, this dude was like very, I, I sat there while he was giving the after game speech and it was like a fucking like movie. You know what I mean? It was like Saturday night lights or something. Like, this guy was like, look, you guys were incredible out there. I'm so proud of you. If we play like that for the rest of this season, look at me, look at me. This is what it's all about. It was like that sort of stuff. I, I got jazzed up. I wanted to play little league ball.

Brent 5:16

Right on. Um, if someone recorded it and put like one of those really motivational, cinematic, uh, you know, music beds be beneath it, it, that's the kind of stuff movies are made out of, at least in his mind. I'm sure.

George Milton 5:28

Yeah, it was awesome, dude. It was really awesome. I mean, it was motivational, like I was like trying to imagine being. A 9-year-old on that team and being like, and, and this dude is like a big dude. He's probably like 6 3, 6 4, like big, big guy. Probably played college ball or something, but like, uh, yeah, very motivational. Have you guys been to Justin? Do your kids play sports or anything?

justin 5:54

We, we actually just had soccer this weekend and it's hard, like you're not supposed to yell, but it's so hard not to like start yelling at everybody on the field.

George Milton 6:04

Yeah. Are you a sports dad? Do you get real into it?

justin 6:08

uh, I try to do my best. Melissa was. Like losing our mind this, this week, which was really funny'cause I was like, gonna get in so much trouble, they're gonna kick us outta here. but you know, you know the competitiveness sometimes come out and you're like, get the ball. Go. You gotta do it. and then you gotta be like, oh, they're just like seven.

George Milton 6:31

Yeah. Yeah.

justin 6:31

chill.

George Milton 6:33

There was, there was a lot of that. I saw a lot of that this game, it was just like a, it was just like a, come on Mason, get your head up. Keep your head up, keep your shoulders square. And I'm like, holy crap. Like I feel, I would feel berated and I'm 43. You know, like, I'm like, I don't think I could take it. I don't think I could take some of this encouragement.

justin 6:55

parents get a little, a little cuckoo crazy man. Like stuff gets weird and um. It's like, you know what, at the end of the day, it's just a game. They're kids, they're learning. They should be fun, but it does get you amped up sometimes and you're like, let's go.

George Milton 7:10

Yeah. Brent, did you play sports when you were a kid? Did you play soccer or anything?

Brent 7:15

Yeah, no, I mean, I. A little league thing whenever I was a kid. I can't say that I've returned to a little league park since I was participating in the, in the things, but I, I will say I have very many, many very vivid memories of, of those times. And, uh, yeah, it's, it's, I don't think changed, you know, over all the years that like there was still the parents in those days that cared way too much about a game that isn't significant to anyone besides. whose children are playing in Z game.

George Milton 7:48

Yeah. It's wild. Uh, well, do you guys wanna do, um, do you guys wanna do some podcasting today?

justin 7:56

do some segments.

George Milton 7:57

Okay, hold on. Let me before we start, before we start, let me hand out your, uh, gold leaf, uh, veto cards. Justin, here's two for you.

justin 8:06

Thank you.

George Milton 8:07

Uh, Brent, here's two for you. And I, of course have my two as well.

Brent 8:11

Is mine scuffed on the corner. I gave it to you immaculate.

George Milton 8:16

Oh, um, let me see that one real quick. Yeah, I,

justin 8:20

up with it. Okay.

George Milton 8:21

yeah. Hey,

Brent 8:22

Where are

George Milton 8:22

me just,

Brent 8:23

these? Dude, like, we got that, we paid a lot of money for that gold or like the, the padded storage box to put it in

George Milton 8:30

uh,

Brent 8:31

you're just throwing'em in a shoe box.

George Milton 8:32

I've actually been putting my nice shoes in that box. I just found it was like a nice place to, it keeps him really, really nice.

Brent 8:40

No, it keeps this, it keeps these scuffs off of there. We wouldn't have this problem. Nevermind.

George Milton 8:45

You're right.

Brent 8:46

we're just

George Milton 8:47

sorry. We'll cut. Hey, we'll cut this out. I'm just going to here, let, here you can have this one that I, this one of mine. That's actually pretty nice.

Brent 8:54

Okay.

George Milton 8:54

Uh, I'll take the scuffed one. Um, it's still gonna work the same, you know what I mean? Like it still just works the same. Uh, why don't we go to the Dice of Destiny to see who starts today? Uh, Justin, you're gonna be one or two. Brent, you're gonna be three or six and I'm gonna be four or five.

Brent 9:14

Man doing, doing a split today, huh?

George Milton 9:16

That's a three. That's a three. That's gonna be Brent.

Brent 9:19

Oh, that's me. Uh, right.

George Milton 9:22

Yeah. Uh, yeah, that's you.

justin 9:23

Starting pitcher, let's go.

Brent 9:27

Um, okay. Okay. So, uh, I, I would like to jump in. I, you know, I, I love whenever we've done the movie reference challenge here.

George Milton 9:38

okay.

Brent 9:39

Uh, so I had, uh, brought in a couple of the movie references and, uh, that one is. Just obscure enough to kind of ride that line. And I'm losing, I lost my little tab where I saved it though.

George Milton 9:59

Oh no.

Brent 10:01

Okay, there we go. So, look, the last one, uh, that I'd and I, I didn't remember if we did this before, but, okay. So the game here as, as a reminder, I'm gonna throw out a movie line. You guys just need to, uh, if you immediately recognize that, sure, go ahead and, and tell which one it is, then we move on. If not, uh, then you'll proceed to take turns asking yes or no questions to see who can in lieu of that question, uh, throughout or, you know. guess the movie first. So, uh, the movie line is your hat off. Boy, that's a dollar bill.

George Milton 10:34

Oh, dollar bill. Oh God. What is Dollar Bill? Okay, uh, question. Is it a sports movie?

Brent 10:43

Um, no it's not.

justin 10:45

Is it a Western movie?

Brent 10:47

Yes.

George Milton 10:50

Uh, that line is very familiar to me. Dollar Bill,

justin 10:56

movie?

Brent 10:58

It is not a Clin Eastwood

George Milton 10:59

not a clinician movie. Is it a, is it a two thousands movie?

Brent 11:04

Ooh. Um, no. I think af right after that. I'd have to look up to be totally sure, but that might give you a hint there,

justin 11:10

Is it Unforgiven?

Brent 11:13

no.

George Milton 11:15

Um, is the actor, oh God is the actor who says it. Um. Does he have a mustache?

Brent 11:34

Um, not usually, no. Uh, maybe he has at some point then I can't think of it, but no.

George Milton 11:40

Okay,

Brent 11:42

Well, I say that, you know, then again, I'm describing the actor that's the main actor in the film, which this line was not spoken by. This line was spoken by a side character in the, the movie. It wasn't even a named character,

George Milton 11:55

God.

Brent 11:55

but it's a

justin 11:56

a good one.

Brent 11:56

Let me, let me throw out another, another general category. It's a comedy, so, uh, that's gonna help narrow some stuff down there.

George Milton 12:05

Okay. Uh, is it, wait, is dollar bill?

justin 12:12

is it? It's not a.

George Milton 12:14

Is dollar bill a, is dollar bill a character or is it like a dollar bill?

Brent 12:19

No, it's, it's, it's, it's referring to a dollar

George Milton 12:23

Oh, okay. I thought you were talking about a, a like dollar bill is like, that's dollar bill.

Brent 12:29

No. That'd be a good Western name though, wouldn't it?

George Milton 12:31

It is a great Western new,

justin 12:33

Saddles, right?

Brent 12:34

It's not blazing Saddles. I think

George Milton 12:36

no, he said it was after he said it was like after the two thousands. Um.

Brent 12:41

Um, alright. Dropping another pretty big hint. The primary actor was also the creator of this movie who has done a lot of work on the animated side of, uh,

justin 12:51

Do How to Die A Million Ways in the West.

Brent 12:54

That's close enough. Yeah. A million Ways to Die in the West

justin 12:56

Yeah. There we go.

George Milton 12:57

Oh, I've never even seen that movie. Who? Who's in that,

Brent 13:00

can't believe you haven't seen that. It's so funny.

justin 13:02

That's Seth McFarland.

Brent 13:04

yeah,

George Milton 13:05

is it?

Brent 13:06

and Char Theron and, uh, uh, what's the guy that, Barney? Barney Simpson Stinson, uh,

George Milton 13:12

Oh, uh, yeah. Neil. Neil Patrick Harris.

Brent 13:15

pastor Harris. That's the one.

justin 13:16

Uh, okay.

Brent 13:17

And, and a lot of other people that just pop in and out, you know, cameo type roles.

George Milton 13:21

I got a, I get, I get, I get so many good, uh, movie suggestions. Hold on. I'm gonna write down a Million Ways to Die in the West.

Brent 13:30

Yeah, you, you definitely should. Um, how, okay. I, I had another one I wanna throw out there.

George Milton 13:35

Okay.

Brent 13:36

one. Uh nice Marmite.

George Milton 13:42

Holy shit.

justin 13:43

You're bringing out some tough ones.

Brent 13:46

I don't know. I didn't know if this one would be considered tough or not.'cause at least among a group of friends that I've had in life, this was like a frequently, uh, you know, quoted line.

George Milton 13:59

Okay. I'm, man, I'm way out on Nice Marmite. Is it a comedy? This is a comedy,

Brent 14:06

Yeah. Comedy. Very classic. Very, very classic. Um,

George Milton 14:10

So like eighties, classic

Brent 14:12

No nineties. I'll,

George Milton 14:13

nineties classic comedy. Nice. Marmite, uh. Is the, is the character referring to an actual Marmite or like is it, are they referring to an actual Marmite?

Brent 14:26

yeah. Like the animal.

George Milton 14:28

Okay. Alright. Classic comedy. Does the movie have Will Ferrell in it?

Brent 14:32

No, it doesn't.

George Milton 14:34

Damn. Okay. That's rules out like half of nineties comedies. Um, does the movie have, uh, shit, does it have Ben Stiller in it?

Brent 14:47

Um, no, no.

justin 14:52

Fucking no, Ben Stiller.

Brent 14:53

role. If he mean, I, it seems like I haven't seen it in a while. It seems like one of those that you could expect him to just be there for like 30 seconds in the film, but, uh, no.

George Milton 15:03

Oh, uh, shit. Is it, um, it. Justin, you got any ideas, man? Nice. Marmite.

justin 15:16

really nice. Marmite. It's,

George Milton 15:18

It's like, so I like, it's like a,

Brent 15:22

I'll

George Milton 15:22

is it absurd? Is it like an absurd? I feel like it's an absurd.

Brent 15:27

I'll, I'll give you, I'll give you one actor that, that has a role in there because he's also in so many things that it's only gonna broadly narrow down. But, uh, Steve Buscemi has a role in it.

George Milton 15:37

Oh. Uh. Is it, uh oh. Is it, uh, is uh, is it Big Lebowski?

Brent 15:47

It is the

George Milton 15:49

Is it, is it like, is it him talking to the

justin 15:52

That's a good one.

George Milton 15:53

or whatever the, the,

Brent 15:54

Yeah.

George Milton 15:55

oh, what are the, what are the people he is,

Brent 15:56

in the, he's in the bathtub. Guy. Like comes in there and this fucking little,

George Milton 16:01

has a marm on a leash or whatever?

Brent 16:03

Yeah. tells him.

George Milton 16:04

Yeah. There's a whole, like, I need to rewatch that movie too. There's a whole like, uh, there's a whole like weird That's, that movie is so weird. Did have you guys read all the

Brent 16:16

it in the category of ridiculous comedies. I mean, it's,

George Milton 16:19

Yeah, yeah.

Brent 16:20

but.

George Milton 16:21

It's pretty absurd though. But the,

justin 16:23

would be like a Adam Sandler kind of over the top craziness. That's,

Brent 16:27

you know?

justin 16:28

yeah.

George Milton 16:28

have you guys, have you guys read the fan theories that Donnie doesn't actually exist?

Brent 16:34

No, I've never read that theory.

justin 16:35

I've, I haven't, I've heard some things about that yet, but.

George Milton 16:38

Donny is Steve Bi Shimmy's character, right? That's his name, his character name.

Brent 16:44

Yeah. Um, so what's the, what's the theory?

George Milton 16:48

Uh, the Oh, the theory is that

Brent 16:51

doesn't

George Milton 16:51

Well, yeah. Well, I think that, I think that he interacts with, um, uh, what's the, God, I'm, I'm spacing on, uh, the big dude's name with the glasses. Who's the other guy that's in the movie?

Brent 17:04

Goodman. Anyway.

George Milton 17:04

John Goodman. Yeah. Yeah. So like John Goodman's character is apparently like the only one who interacts with Donnie or something like that. It's kind of like a, it's kinda like a sixth sense kind of theory where you're like, oh, well go back and look at, he only talks to, anyway, that was like a Reddit, it was a, it was like a Reddit thread that I went down, but I haven't rewatched the movie since I read that.

Brent 17:29

well, uh, you got any? You got, you got any offbeat movie quotes? Play

George Milton 17:35

Uh,

justin 17:36

I mean, there's a, we have to have one of these. We got two. I'll do, I'll throw out two baseball ones since it is World Series Weekend.

Brent 17:43

that's appropriate.

justin 17:44

Uh, there's no crying in baseball.

George Milton 17:49

I thought we did that one already. That's a league of, that's a league of their own, right? Yeah.

justin 17:54

if you build it, they will come

George Milton 17:57

Yeah.

Brent 17:57

oh, that's a porn. I saw this

George Milton 17:59

That's a porn. Yeah.

Brent 18:02

Field of dreams. Yeah,

justin 18:03

Feel the dream. There we go.

George Milton 18:05

But if it was a porn, it would be Field of Creams

Brent 18:08

that's right. Yeah.

George Milton 18:10

or, yeah. Can we come up with porn names for these movies too? Like can that be a part of this segment that we also have to come up with the porn name for the movie?

Brent 18:21

Um, Yeah. I guess we could, uh, the, I. I'm trying, like, are we doing direct spoofs off of already existing baseball titles

George Milton 18:34

Uh, well, the Big Lebowski, the big Dick Lebowski.

Brent 18:38

or like, or

George Milton 18:39

It's not great.

Brent 18:40

in, in the butt cheeks.

George Milton 18:41

Angel's in the butt cheeks. Um, maybe that's not a very fun game. Veto, I vetoed that. I use one of my cards. I'm gonna use the scuffed up card first.

Brent 18:53

Good. Let's get the thing outta here.

George Milton 18:54

Yeah. Uh, I.

Brent 18:56

just gonna order another one of those.

George Milton 18:57

No, I can, I could, dude, I could fix this. This was like$12,000. Like it is actual, it's actual gold leaf.

Brent 19:05

hmm.

George Milton 19:06

Um, I'm trying to think of the quote. There's a, uh, there, i, I, I might be, I might be kind of off on this one, but, um, well, if you're not gonna look at your cards, how you gonna know if you can beat my straight flush?

Brent 19:28

It's not the Little Mermaid, I can tell you that. Okay. Um, this is something I don't know that I've seen, but, uh, so is it, is it a movie that's predominantly about playing cards?

George Milton 19:38

Yes. Yes. It is a, it's a, it's a poker.

justin 19:41

George Milton 19:43

Uh, I don't think so. No. John Malkovich is not in it.

Brent 21:50

You guys are

justin 21:51

That's an old,

Brent 21:52

about, with Tom Cruise in it, where he's a, a pilot and

George Milton 21:55

Oh yeah,

Brent 21:56

two of top gun.

justin 21:58

is an

George Milton 21:58

that's true.

justin 21:59

school poll, George. That is uh, that is an old one for

George Milton 22:02

It's just, it's one of the movies that I just know quotes off the top of my head because we quote it whenever we're playing, uh, whenever we're playing cards. Uh.

Brent 22:12

thought it was gonna be one of those, like, I feel like we also, uh, everybody that is in our age group has some movie quotes off the top of their head that came from like. A VHS that was recorded from a, like a pay-per-view channel or it came on tv like you, you, your family owned the tape Probably. But you didn't really pay for it, you just pirated it off of t television like we did in the day. No,

justin 22:36

And

George Milton 22:37

I don't remember.

justin 22:37

lines.

Brent 22:39

Yeah,

George Milton 22:39

I don't remember owning. Owning a lot of tapes. I feel like we got'em at Block. We would get'em at Blockbuster, but I don't feel like we owned a lot of tapes.

justin 22:49

Remember when it was like you get charged if you didn't rewind it? That's like wild to think of.

George Milton 22:55

that is wild.

Brent 22:56

Rewind.

George Milton 22:57

Yeah, they, and they, you could,

justin 22:59

man. I

George Milton 23:00

you could get, you could get one of those little rewinds

justin 23:04

Mm-hmm.

George Milton 23:05

if you were a rich family, you got the little rewinder, you just pop it in it with speed, rewind. Your tapes for you. Pretty cool. Pretty cool.

Brent 23:14

man,

justin 23:15

more to the days.

Brent 23:16

for uncles whenever DVDs came out and they got to bring those back to Blockbuster and go, well, forgot to rewind it though. Hope you don't charge me.

George Milton 23:25

Yeah, that was a great day for uncles everywhere. Dads too. Dads loved it.

justin 23:30

Dad loved it.

George Milton 23:31

Uh, speaking of stuff that dads love, let's do some more segments. Uh, what the, we're gonna go back to the dice of destiny. Justin's gonna be one to three. I'm gonna be four to six. That is a six. So for my segment, I'm gonna do some advice for the internet guys. I love giving advice to the internet.

justin 23:50

We

George Milton 23:50

Um, I got, I've got a man, I've got a backlog here of stuff that. Uh, that we want to answer. Let's go, let's go here. I really need, here's the subject line. Um, I really need your help. I have three girlfriends and it's my birthday soon, and the body is, all of my girlfriends are planning to wish me happy birthday at midnight outside my house. I'm afraid they'll meet and there will be a scandal.

justin 24:16

Taking

George Milton 24:16

What shall I do?

justin 24:18

sticking

George Milton 24:18

What should I do?

justin 24:20

the I can

Brent 24:23

you know,

justin 24:23

or.

Brent 24:24

with fire, get burned kind of situation. Like, uh, yeah, I mean, do whatever you wanna do, but you're gonna, these are called consequences. See,

George Milton 24:33

Consequences. I don't know if that's,

justin 24:37

of a throttle. Like he was gonna be like, yo, I've got three girlfriends. It's my birthday. No, it sounds like he is,

George Milton 24:43

well, if

justin 24:44

he is playing with a loaded gun man. Like,

Brent 24:46

Yeah, there you go.

justin 24:47

call

George Milton 24:47

I.

justin 24:48

Say you're sick. You can't, don't wanna see anyone. You got the black lung.

George Milton 24:51

Colin's sick. Colin's sick to your birth. I mean, look, it's uh, first of all, how did you get so far with three girlfriends? I got a lot of questions. This is a short, this is a pretty short, this is probably the shortest question that I've read. It's from two weeks ago. So like this is probably still going down right now.

Brent 25:12

Oh yeah. Like he's still awaiting the actual,

George Milton 25:14

Yeah, maybe.

justin 25:16

hit him up and ask like how it played out for him?'cause I would love to know.

George Milton 25:20

Uh, yeah, I mean, we can, I don't, it doesn't say on, it doesn't have the resolution on here, so like he just says, it's my birthday soon. Um, I'm saying that he, I'm saying he, but it does not have, uh, it does not have age or, or gender on here, but three girlfriends. Okay. Uh, here's what you do. You move to another. You'd move to another house you moved to, or you just moved to another house? I.

Brent 25:50

really, let's be honest. What you do here, there's nothing to do here. You eat crow, you fucked up, and now it's, it's, it's just, it's consequences. That's all. To it. You can't advise someone. It's like, what? What's the advice? You just, you just

George Milton 26:04

We're called on. We're, we're called on to get, we're called on to, this is our calling guys. We have to provide, we have to provide sucker for these people on the internet. Um.

Brent 26:17

But in this case, it doesn't matter what he does it, it's probably gonna suck and he's gonna have to get through it. And then every those three are probably gonna all think he's a piece of shit forever and he's just gotta deal with that. That's it, is what it's.

George Milton 26:29

Okay, let me

justin 26:30

together and just like, let's see what happens.

George Milton 26:33

let, let me lob this one. Let me lob this one at you guys. Let's, let's just imagine he's got, I don't know, two or three weeks. When do you think he imagined, you know, how much, how much notice do you think he needed for this that he was like, Hey, I'm giving advice. Let's imagine he's got a few weeks. See how many additional girlfriends you can get for this date. You know what I mean? Like three girlfriends, three girlfriends showing up outside your house to wish you happy. Birthday is one thing. 10 girlfriends showing up at? Yes. 17. Could you get to 17 by your birthday? Because after your birthday, you're either gonna have zero girlfriends or you're gonna have girl only girlfriends who are okay with you having other girlfriends, right?

Brent 27:22

I'm sold

justin 27:23

Yeah.

Brent 27:24

here, George. It's sort of a, you know, just all or nothing game. You know, it's a numbers game at this point, right?

George Milton 27:29

Yeah. Like it's already gonna be, it's already gonna be bad, right. It's probably gonna be bad. Like, let's just assume that these, that these girlfriends all only want him to have one girlfriend, which is like, probably a reasonable assumption. They're gonna show up, they're gonna be mad at him. Uh, it's gonna suck for him. So he just maximize the damage, you know, just see what's the, like, what's the worst that could happen? Why don't you find out?

justin 28:01

let's find out. Let's

George Milton 28:02

Let's find out.

justin 28:03

Well, it's like, have you had the conversation with them? Is it like, oh, are we going exclusive? Or it's like kids today that are just dating around and it's not serious.

Brent 28:13

It doesn't matter. As a guy that did a lot of dating around in my younger days,

George Milton 28:17

Bad brag. Big brag.

Brent 28:19

It does not matter if you tell them up front, like if they're gonna still be shitty when they come face to face with a bunch of other people that you're doing, it's just, it's gonna be awkward.

George Milton 28:29

Yeah.

Brent 28:30

No clean way of doing that fantasy land. If you think, think otherwise.

George Milton 28:33

Yeah. Live in fantasy land as long as possible though, for sure. Um, some of these, I, I mean, mo most of the, most of the answers that other people have given are just like, suck it up, man. It's gonna suck. You made your bed. Now lay in it.

Brent 28:51

what it is.

George Milton 28:52

But I think that we, I think, I just feel, feel like we have more to give here. So one, one possible, one possibility is just maximize. The amount of girlfriends that are there, 17 is probably what you should shoot for. Um, you could also,

justin 29:06

'em you're sick and let one of'em come over.

George Milton 29:10

or you could just be somewhere else. Tell two of'em you're sick. Be somewhere else. So like, I don't know, this is, I stand outside my house. Happy birthday at midnight outside my house. So like, I feel like I feel maybe a little weird because I feel like putting the puzzle, the puzzle pieces together, this is probably somebody who lives at home, right? This is probably a child that we're giving this advice to.

justin 29:35

Yeah. Then why? Yeah.'cause like why aren't you celebrating with them all night long?

George Milton 29:40

Yeah, probably.

justin 29:41

till midnight?

George Milton 29:42

Yeah. Uh, so the advice is 17 girlfriends move outta the country.

Brent 29:49

there we

George Milton 29:49

Um, solved. We did it.

Brent 29:52

We did it. High fives, guys.

justin 29:54

We're really

George Milton 29:55

guys. Um, well let's do, let's do one more. Um, actually, you know what, let's take a break. I'm so, I'm, I'm worn out guys. Whew. I feel like, uh, we're gonna take a, we're gonna take a break. We'll come back and we'll be, uh, Justin was pitching, but Justin's gonna move to, uh, batting, so we're gonna be playing offense for the next inning.

Brent 30:23

You guys do whatever. I'm gonna chill here for a second. Just try to buff out this, uh, veto card a little bit, see if I can get it shiny again.

George Milton 30:29

Okay. Well I already tried it, so you're just wasting your time. Alright.

Brent 30:34

drum roll though. It's got a little thing on there.

George Milton 30:36

But maybe, uh, if enough people visit our sponsors during the break, we can afford to buy another one. So, uh, we'll be right back. and welcome back. We're back with the, we're back and we're better than ever. Justin is playing hurt today, guys. Justin's got some vertigo today. I just want people to,

justin 34:47

laying

George Milton 34:47

want people to know, yeah, man, you're a trooper. Before we started, I gave you the option to, to tap out today, and you were like, no way, man.

justin 34:56

put me in, coach. I

George Milton 34:58

He v.

justin 34:59

the tap out. I'm here. I'm ready to go.

George Milton 35:01

He vetoed the tap out. You have the heart of the champion, the mind of a, uh, bear,

justin 35:11

Yep.

George Milton 35:12

the fortitude,

Brent 35:13

of a.

George Milton 35:15

the

justin 35:16

Greek goddess.

George Milton 35:17

body of a Greek goddess, the constitution of a, where raven,

justin 35:23

Where Raven. I love, I wanna be aware Raven.

George Milton 35:26

and the dexterity of, uh, of a null.

justin 35:32

Yeah, exactly. I.

Brent 35:34

Are

George Milton 35:34

Uh,

Brent 35:35

dextrous?

George Milton 35:36

I think at higher levels they can be, you know, I mean an,

Brent 35:41

I mean,

George Milton 35:41

think annu,

Brent 35:41

could be at higher levels.

George Milton 35:43

yeah. I think a null comes out of the gate with a, with a racial, uh, bonus to ter anyway, whatever.

Brent 35:50

Veto.

George Milton 35:52

Veto, what, what are you vetoing?

Brent 35:54

We don't need to get racial with it here. Okay.

George Milton 36:00

Fine. You've spent your card. I won't talk about racial bonuses for the rest of this episode. I'm just saying. Right? Well, no, you know you use your veto card, that's fine.

Brent 36:14

Nice

George Milton 36:15

Uh,

Brent 36:15

the way, and I'm putting it over here where it won't get scuffed.

George Milton 36:19

you can't look, I'll store it in the box. You can't keep your veto card at your house. Alright.

Brent 36:25

just setting it aside.

George Milton 36:26

All right. Okay. All right. But I'm gonna need it in the box. I'll take my shoes out of it. Hey Justin,

justin 36:32

Yes.

Brent 36:33

Oh

George Milton 36:33

uh,

Brent 36:34

I just dropped a veto card. Oh, look at this big old cash.

George Milton 36:40

you can't, alright, well I just don't wanna hear shit for the scuff anymore, that's all. Uh, Justin, do you wanna do a segment man? You do A segment buddy.

justin 36:50

will do a segment. I'm here for it. I will do a segment. hurt. I'm ready to go. Uh, I had a pretty incredible week this week. got to work with

George Milton 37:02

Congrats.

justin 37:03

People, which was pretty epic. So in that vein, I'm gonna, I got to work with a Mr. Ben Stiller this week.

George Milton 37:10

No way. Was it for his, so was it for his soda brand?

justin 37:15

uh, I, does he have a soda brand?

George Milton 37:17

It's launched a soda brand, Stiller soda. I'm way too into the CPG food. Yeah. Ben Stiller just launched a soda, but it wasn't for that.

justin 37:27

What kind of soda is it?

George Milton 37:29

It's like, be I,

justin 37:30

York seltzers or is it like probiotic juice stuff?

George Milton 37:34

I don't think it's probiotic, but I think, I think it's just like a better, for quote unquote better for you soda, like poppier or Ali Pop or something.

Brent 37:41

Well, have

George Milton 37:41

But that.

Brent 37:42

of, uh, Coca-Cola?

George Milton 37:44

Uh, what?

Brent 37:46

Okay, then.

justin 37:47

Old school co. Coca-Cola when it had cocaine in it. That's how, that's when it was good for you.

George Milton 37:53

Uh, but that's awesome. Can you say what you're working on or is that like, I know you sometimes you

justin 37:57

will be, I'd be slaughtered under uh, rules,

George Milton 38:03

Yeah.

justin 38:03

but I

George Milton 38:04

That's pretty strict.

justin 38:05

when it comes out.

George Milton 38:07

Oh, man. I'm so excited. Yeah, they're.

Brent 38:10

of paper, man.

George Milton 38:11

It's just a piece of paper slaughter you according to, well, dude, that's sauce.

Brent 38:18

they have going on.

George Milton 38:18

Congratulations. Were you, were you outta town for that? I guess you were

justin 38:22

in, in the New York of Cities.

George Milton 38:25

cool?

justin 38:26

so are gonna, we're gonna talk about some Stiller movies and we're gonna write some Stiller movies because they are some classic, classic comedies,

George Milton 38:35

we playing? Are we playing underrated, overrated, or properly rated? Yes.

justin 38:39

We are gonna do that. And the first one we are gonna jump into, we'll go back to kind of what broke'em out a little bit. We'll have to go, we have to start with something about Mary.

George Milton 38:49

Oh yes.

justin 38:51

I

George Milton 38:51

I love,

justin 38:52

on. Just classic amazing comedy at

George Milton 38:57

something about Mary. I saw something about Mary four times in the theater.

Brent 39:03

Oh

justin 39:03

the theater.

George Milton 39:04

Yeah,

justin 39:05

four

George Milton 39:06

buddy, uh, my, my, my buddy.'cause I was in high school when that came out. My buddy Wes Williams was working at the, what was it, like a cinema mark or whatever.

justin 39:15

Yeah.

George Milton 39:16

in for, we got in for free. I watched the, I watched it once and I was like, that movie was so funny. Um.

justin 39:24

And I feel like it's, you know, it's the Farley Brothers movie and like they, their movies tend to be a little. Slap sticky a little. They start going a little too But that one kind of was their first one that had like, and it had a good balance of like not being too over the top but like just enough magic that it was just so funny. I mean, when he gets this ball stuck in the zipper, like, come on,

Brent 39:51

Yeah.

justin 39:51

if you see my baseball.

Brent 39:54

That's one of those movies though, that, that kind of like what we were saying about some other categories of things that I feel like it is highly rated because I mean, and I think rightfully so, like it was certainly one of my favorite movies of its day. Uh, I didn't go to the theater four times to see it, but you know, I, I watched the shit out of it on. Whatever medium we, we would've had if it's I guess DVD, you know, or something. But like, yeah, I, I, so I think it's perfectly rated, but highly, so, you know, and, and deservedly,

George Milton 40:29

I think it's, man, I don't know. I, because I, I feel like something about Mary, uh, I don't know if I could say that.'cause it was late nineties, right? Because if I was

Brent 40:39

yeah,

George Milton 40:40

Yeah. I must have been 16. Yeah. I must have been 16 or 17 when it came out. So it was probably 98 or 99. I was gonna say, I feel like something about Mary kind of set the tone for. Some of those early two thousands comedies where it was like, where it was that right mix of, it's really silly and we're like, you know, like putting jizz in our hair to like that.

justin 41:05

I mean, that scene is the, just the, oh, is it some hair gel? Yeah.

Brent 41:09

I mean, it's

justin 41:10

So good.

George Milton 41:11

It's pretty classic.

Brent 41:12

classic scenes.

George Milton 41:14

Yeah. Um, I don't know if I could quote something about Mary, but I feel like it set the, I feel like it set the stage for some of the early two thousands, like silly slash there's still, there's,

Brent 41:25

you did already quote something

George Milton 41:26

I.

Brent 41:26

you did the ba, like the, the baseball quote, like that's. That's one of the things there, you know, and like, there's just the, uh, you, I love Mary man, like little Tucker there.

justin 41:36

Man, I, Mary, I love Mary.

Brent 41:39

Um,

justin 41:39

Oh man.

Brent 41:40

segue, uh, if, unless it's vetoed, we don't have, but a very quick segue. The guy that played Tucker that was also in that movie, uh, mouse Hunt with

justin 41:49

Yes.

Brent 41:50

uh, I can't remember his name, but he was someone that came into Pete's one time that I, did, I mention that before, that he, like I, we do the celebrity call outs and I pointed, I was like, Hey, it's Tucker from, there's something about Mary. And it was actually him and then he ended up leaving'cause I threw too much attention towards him.

justin 42:10

Uh,

George Milton 42:11

Man.

justin 42:12

you, he, he should have been thanking you for like, because I don't think people would know who he is.

George Milton 42:17

Uh, yeah. Something about Mary, I think properly rated.

justin 42:21

Yeah, it's, it's just a iconic classic and it's just awesome. the next one, you know what I'm like going back and forth on whether it's a, uh, star, soul, star or like, because I just watched dodgeball the other night and man, that is good.

George Milton 42:41

I re-watched it not too long ago and I was like, we were talking in a previously about movies that hold up. I think Dodgeball holds up.

justin 42:49

White. If you could dodge a wrench, you could dodge a ball.

George Milton 42:52

Yeah,

justin 42:54

I

George Milton 42:54

yeah. Fucking rip to rip. Torn in that. It's just, oh man, he's so good. Better than, I think, better than I.

Brent 43:01

that I drink my own urine? No, but

justin 43:03

No,

Brent 43:04

anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste,

justin 43:08

I.

George Milton 43:10

So good.

justin 43:11

I mean, when he plays those characters like Ben Stiller's really good at those characters and like finding these like.

Brent 43:16

Matt like.

justin 43:17

Okay.

Brent 43:18

I'll say, I've heard it said before and I, I could largely agree with this, that Ben Stiller basically has like three different characters that he does. And be that as it may, I would challenge someone to find an actor that was more just control of like the scene of like in his heyday. And like, people don't give, like, you know, Oscars aren't given as frequently to like. Comedies and things like that for whatever reason, you know, but like, comedy isn't easy. Comedy is hard, you

justin 43:48

It's actually harder to do. It's harder to do.

Brent 43:51

is one of the all time masters, uh, of his craft. I mean, just, just, I'd, I'd have, I'd, it'd be hard to sell me on someone that is better at doing that than what Ben Stiller does.

justin 44:05

The only other person I could think of is like Jim Carrey. Jim Carrey can do characters like nobody's business.

Brent 44:11

think they're in very different baskets though, because like Jim Carrey, I don't think at all, has like three characters. Like I, I don't feel like, to me Ben Stiller is more of like, he's a version of Ben Stiller in whatever he is in. Whereas Jim Carrey really like encompasses that character and kind of just changes everything about himself. Love

George Milton 44:29

really kinda feel like Jim Carey's a version of Ben Stiller and everything he's in too.

Brent 44:35

Is that right?

George Milton 44:35

So dodgeball we're rating dodgeball the movie, but was dodgeball Dodge ball was after something about Mary by like six or seven years. Right. That's probably like mid I.

justin 44:45

I think. Um, dodgeball not that long ago, uh, maybe 10 years ago.

George Milton 44:52

No way.

Brent 44:53

like

George Milton 44:54

ball's gonna be like 2005 or something. I'm gonna put it, hold on. I We can, we can look it up. Dodge ball.

Brent 45:02

Or maybe like, yeah, if I'm gonna pick an answer, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say 2008.

George Milton 45:06

Uh, where are you going, Justin?

justin 45:08

2004 was

George Milton 45:09

Yeah.

justin 45:10

Yeah.

George Milton 45:11

So, uh, like.

Brent 45:13

long time ago. Justin,

George Milton 45:15

But

justin 45:15

Yeah. I lied.

George Milton 45:18

yeah, great movie. Great movie. I think, I mean, I think Dodge Ball is pretty properly rated.

justin 45:23

yeah, it is, it's, and you know, like you said, I think it hold it, it still was really funny. It holds up really well. It's like young Vince Vaughn hitting the comedy stuff. Um.

George Milton 45:33

Yeah. Vince Vaughn was still great in that. Like I liked Vince Vaughn. I liked Vince Vaughn until he did the breakup, and then I like didn't wanna watch Vince Vaughn anymore.

Brent 45:42

Yeah.

justin 45:43

where has he gone? He kind of like, has disappeared and I'm like,

George Milton 45:46

Didn't he do? He did something recently, like Vince Von did some movie recently where

justin 45:50

Monkey. There's a show on Apple TV called Bad Monkey that it's his, but he kind of just hasn't done a monster kind. Hilarious movie in a while, and he was, I mean like Wedding Crashers and all this stuff, like he was just, he had that stick down so good.

George Milton 46:08

Yeah. Yeah. He's fucking, yeah, he's, yeah.

Brent 46:10

quintessential dry asshole of, of the

George Milton 46:13

I just think that that, I think that that style of comedy kind of fell out of favor. I don't, I don't think it, I don't think it was anything to do with him. I think it was just like, now you have to do something that's not, that's like non-class. Vince Vaughn, the sa. The same way that I think that like the dodgeball, like I don't know if you remake any of those types of movies today. I wish, I wish somebody was, would try. I wish somebody would try, but like, I don't know if you could remake Dodgeball Today.

justin 46:39

No, that's like a, that's a, that's a, yeah. People are afraid to, it's coming back where people can do comedies like that, but people are, were mostly afraid for a while to do real comedy that could offend people.

Brent 46:54

What other, what other, uh, Ben Silver movies.

justin 46:56

So here's one of my favorites. This one, uh, me, especially being in the industry is like. HA is one of my favorite movies. Tropic Thunder, uh,

George Milton 47:11

yeah.

justin 47:12

just, and I honestly, for me, I feel like it's underrated because most people don't fully

George Milton 47:19

I think it's underrated too. I'm gonna,

justin 47:21

genius it is.

George Milton 47:23

I'm gonna jump in and say underrated.

Brent 47:25

it too. Like

George Milton 47:25

Yeah.

Brent 47:27

Like

justin 47:27

I mean, just when he is holding up the head and he is licking the blood, he is like, it's all fake. It's corn syrup. And then he is like, simple jack. Simple jack. Oh, just, just so good. It's just, well, that's a movie that you look at and you go, yeah, they probably can't make that. Now. It's like,

George Milton 47:45

I think the whole thing, the whole, the whole thing about that is like Robert Downey Jr. Doing blackface, so it was like the whole. That was like the whole everything. But Robert Dennis Jr. Was fucking great in that too.

justin 47:56

Well, it's not, it's like it,

George Milton 47:58

Who I am. I'm a dude playing another,

justin 48:01

disguised as

George Milton 48:02

a disgusted as another dude.

justin 48:04

He, oh, man. When he is like, yeah. What do you mean you people? What do you mean you people? Oh man, it's so, uh, Danny McBride, I mean, it's one of Tom Cruise's best roles,

George Milton 48:15

Yes, yes. Tom Cruise in that fucking movie, I.

justin 48:18

Apparently now I heard whispers that they're trying to finally develop a movie about Les Grossman because it's just be

George Milton 48:27

would be awesome.

justin 48:27

the key grip this motherfucker in the face. Oh, so good.

George Milton 48:32

That's great.

justin 48:33

me,

George Milton 48:33

it, was that,

justin 48:34

so underrated.

George Milton 48:35

was that the, was that the movie that launched Danny MCs career or was he like.

justin 48:40

that was No, you know what it, what movie it was? It was the, um, there was the one where he was like a, a karate teacher, uh, the, the fifth, fifth foot way. And then,

George Milton 48:50

that was a, was that a movie or a series?

justin 48:53

and then he kind of got on the radar and that's, they got him in, you know, Tropic Thunder and all this stuff, and he started doing.

Brent 49:01

it was the very first thing I ever saw him, man. I'm sure I saw him in stuff before, but I, I would definitely say the one that put Danny McBride like on my radar, that I knew who he was thereafter

George Milton 49:09

Uh,

Brent 49:09

definitely Pineapple Express for me.

George Milton 49:11

really. Okay.

justin 49:12

funny.

George Milton 49:14

Was find Apple Express pre Was that pre Tropic Thunder?

justin 49:17

no, pineapple Express was after

Brent 49:19

yeah.

George Milton 49:20

I was like, I saw Tropic

justin 49:21

is just like big

George Milton 49:21

Thunder and I was, I, when I saw Tropic Thunder, I was like, I wanna see more of that guy that, like Danny McBride. I feel like that was his intro to the world,

Brent 49:31

so can I throw out my, what I think my, in my opinion, the most underrated, uh, Vince Tiller film would

justin 49:37

Please.

George Milton 49:38

right.

Brent 49:38

Uh, and not to say that it's not popular, but I just feel like, because it gets shuffled into this basket of like kids movie, but heavyweights man, like heavyweights is such a fantastic film

justin 49:50

He's in heavyweights.

Brent 49:51

he is the main, like he's the, the bad guy. He is the, he's, Tony Pers the guy that runs

justin 49:57

my gosh. I do like that movie, but I, yeah, I don't even think of it as his movie. Yeah, I

George Milton 50:02

I've never seen, I've never seen heavy weights.

justin 50:05

Oh, that's a good one.

Brent 50:07

watch

George Milton 50:07

God, I gotta rate.

Brent 50:08

still

justin 50:08

one.

Brent 50:08

up.

justin 50:09

I.

Brent 50:09

holds up

George Milton 50:10

I gotta write it down.

Brent 50:11

like definitely one of my very favorite Ben Stiller roles because he's just so like intense and over the top and ridiculous. And like, he's definitely in, in one of his, you know, he's had many, but like one of his like physical. Peaks for that movie. Like he got really in shape for it.'cause he is like this fitness guy. And I mean, it's just, it's so funny, like him coming in and taking a fat camp just way too seriously like that. I, the whole idea for a character is hysterical. So,

George Milton 50:39

I, I do, I also think that like, uh, one, one of the things that I think is great is that, like Ben Stiller's never really done, he's not done a lot of drama. I, I saw, I watched recently the movie, the Secret Life of Walter Middy. Have you guys seen that one?

justin 50:54

Yep.

George Milton 50:56

Justin? Did you say no or Yeah.

justin 50:58

I saw it. Yeah, it's

George Milton 50:59

Did you like, uh,

justin 51:01

I,

George Milton 51:01

I didn't, I didn't love it.

justin 51:02

I don't love it. I like it. I think that, you know, it's a little, gets a little all over the place, but it's, I see what he's trying to do. I mean, and he's like the guy behind Severance too, so he's, he

George Milton 51:13

Yeah.

justin 51:15

you know, he had like, what is it? Reality bites back in the day. But if you, it's really interesting. They have a, he just did a documentary on his mom and dad who were like, these comedy. You know, pioneers back

George Milton 51:26

Yeah.

justin 51:26

day,

George Milton 51:27

Freaking Jerry Stiller.

justin 51:28

It's, yeah, it's, it's Ann MiiR and Jerry, it's like Jerry and Anne or something like that. It's called, it's on Apple tv. It's really interesting. but yeah, just growing up and where his, your parents are doing these characters all the time, so it kind of makes sense where he kind of kept going with it. But yeah, he does really, he can, he creates these wild characters.

George Milton 51:48

I also think that it's like he's probably of like comedy of like the comedy All stars, which I, he's definitely like a comedy all star. Probably one of the most jacked, like, right, like one of, one of the, because'cause like when he gets, when he gets, when he gets, uh, when he gets buffed for a role, it's like, yeah, he's, you know, he's a, he's kind, he's not a tall guy. He is not a super tall guy, but it's like, oh, he's kind of like, he's kind of cut for like a, for like a

justin 52:16

is not. He's

George Milton 52:16

comedy guy.

justin 52:18

He's very tiny.

George Milton 52:19

But he gets kind of, uh, but he gets kind of swo for like a comedy guy, right? Because I feel like there's a lot like him and him and Kevin Hart maybe are like the, there's not a, there's not a ton of like straight up comedy people that.

justin 52:32

doesn't, it doesn't work in a weird way. Like Jonah Hill losing weight and getting like in shape. He's not as funny. Like it's, there's something about for the most part outside of like Ben is like. You want them to feel like everyday guys. And if they get super ripped, it doesn't feel the same way. And I think it's like a subliminal thing that we have with comedians and comedy stuff. Kevin Hart's a little different'cause he was always like, he was never. Like overweight or uh, like a little schlubby. He was always kind of the same. Now he's a little, he's ripped, but like I, it's, it's, it's only ever worked with Ben, where like people still, he's still just as funny. And I know that's a weird thing to say, but it's like, I think it's just like a, something in the subconscious that we're

George Milton 53:18

Well, I think that he also, like,

justin 53:20

anymore.

George Milton 53:21

I feel like Ben, I feel like Ben Stiller does a really good job of poking fun at, uh, at being fit. Like when he's, when he has a role where he's fit, he's always like making fun of the fact that he's fit in somewhere.

justin 53:35

like,

George Milton 53:35

Yeah.

justin 53:36

you know, you know, hump humping the pizza in his pants so that he doesn't like eat it.

Brent 53:41

Or

justin 53:42

And he.

Brent 53:42

like on Meet the parents, the whole gag where he doesn't have his suitcase. So the, so Kevin's like, well, I'll loan you my bathing suit. And then he, he's just standing there in the bathroom and they give him a, a speedo to put on,

justin 53:52

Yep.

Brent 53:54

like, you know. It's like, sure he is ripped, but he is still the guy that's having to walk out in front of a family that he's just meeting in a speedo, you know, in a family pool party.

George Milton 54:04

Pretty good. Uh, did you have any more, because this is making me the, I had a segment that I've had on the back burner.

justin 54:11

Let's do your segment. We got time for one more.

Brent 54:14

segment and move on to George's.

justin 54:16

I.

George Milton 54:17

Well, I had, um, I had written down a segment that was just, uh, let's watch a movie. And, and the, the idea there is that like we all watch the same movie. Over the course of the week. Not, we don't have to watch it together. I mean, that'd be sweet. But like, uh, and then we do, we do a movie review of, of said movie. And the more ridiculous, the more horrible the movie, the more kind of that we could poke fun of it, the better.

justin 54:50

I could get down with that.

George Milton 54:53

I, there was a movie that I saw recently called Dicks the Musical, which is just. Have you guys, have you guys heard this? Have you guys heard of

justin 55:03

the penis? The musical

Brent 55:04

gonna say, I know what puppetry of the penis is, but.

George Milton 55:06

No, no. It's, uh, so it's, it's, uh, Nathan Lane is in it. It's these two guys. Um,

justin 55:13

right. Nathan Relay does a movie about Dicks.

Brent 55:16

It's,

George Milton 55:16

it's.

Brent 55:17

the kind of roles you wanna see'em in.

George Milton 55:18

It's, uh, it's these two guys, uh, it's these two guys that like wrote, write and direct it. Uh, Nathan Lane's in it. Uh, the guys are Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson. I'm looking it up'cause I can't remember. And then Megan Mulally's in it.

justin 55:34

Oh, I like

George Milton 55:35

She, she's hilarious. Megan thee stallion's in it. Uh, it's just like a completely, it's like. 2023. It's like pretty new, but I watched it on a plane and I was like, what the fuck is, like, I saw that as an option on a, on a, like a united flight like a while ago. I was like, what the fuck is this? And it's, it's wor

justin 55:57

sounds like a great uh, plane movie.

George Milton 55:59

yeah, it's, it is terrible. But I was like, I watched it a second time. I think I've watched it three times at this point because I had to watch it again to be like. Is this, is that, what is this? What did I watch?

justin 56:14

Now

George Milton 56:14

Uh,

Brent 56:15

you, when you start mentioning like Batten movies, it makes me think that we need to go find like a low budget Steven Segal movie from like 12 years

justin 56:24

Oh yeah.

George Milton 56:25

All right. All right. Uh, let's, let's.

Brent 56:28

that's like, just a real tough watch, you

justin 56:31

When it's like Steven

Brent 56:32

I.

justin 56:32

Al moved to Russia, that's like what we're talking about.

Brent 56:35

where he spends most of the movie in a chair, like a rolly chair and a gun. Just fucking

George Milton 56:40

Rollie Chair and a gun. Is that the name of a Steven Egal movie? Because that'd be awesome.

justin 56:47

I mean, we get to, I mean, under siege, that was amazing.

George Milton 56:51

Under, well Under Siege was a great movie.

Brent 56:53

Yeah.

George Milton 56:54

Uh.

Brent 56:55

as was the follow up to that one. The second one was really good too. I.

George Milton 56:58

Let's see. Oh man, there's such a long list.

justin 57:01

Yeah, we gotta do like eighties action movies. We should start with eighties action movies.

George Milton 57:06

go, wait, do we wanna do Al first a Siegal movie first?

justin 57:10

Yeah. Or Van Damm.

Brent 57:12

are some good egal movies like

George Milton 57:13

There's some good Al movies.

Brent 57:15

going intentionally shit movies because

George Milton 57:17

I mean, under, under Siege, like he's got this like streak in the like. Early to mid nineties, like he's in the Patriot, uh, under siege two on deadly ground.

justin 57:35

Yeah.

George Milton 57:37

Uh, I mean, how do we wanna, like, let's go to like two thousands, man. I can just look at the I-I-M-D-B star ratings. They change over time. Uh, he's got one, he's got one in, uh, called Attack Force in 2006.

Brent 58:00

one because I know that it exists. I don't know the title, but like there's probably five of these that I'm about to describe where Steven Segal. Plays a guy in his mid fifties, very overweight, that gets contacted by the government because they've got some special op that only he is capable of doing. They need him to come out of retirement and he's gonna assemble a team of like five other guys in their mid fifties to come and do something that nobody else besides rotund

justin 58:30

like you're speaking about the Expendables and that movie's amazing. So.

Brent 58:34

No, no, no, no, no. Like the expendables, but Steven Segal and his buddies, you know,

George Milton 58:39

Yeah. Well, here's the, the la the most recent one that I can find of him

Brent 58:44

and it's

George Milton 58:44

is.

Brent 58:45

boner for punishment or something like that.

George Milton 58:49

What boner for punishment?

justin 58:51

I want, I wanna watch that Boner for punishment.

George Milton 58:53

Uh, so there's one called Beyond the Law from 2019.

Brent 58:56

That's.

George Milton 58:58

here's, here's, uh, here's the, here's the synopsis. A mobster trying to go straight, and a dogged police detective must contend with a dirty ex-cop looking to bring the killer of his son to justice. It's, uh, Steven Segal. Johnny Messner, DMX, Zach Ward.

justin 59:17

let's go.

George Milton 59:17

Bill Cobbs, do we wanna do, do you guys wanna, do you guys wanna watch beyond the Law?

Brent 59:23

Oh, I'll do it.

George Milton 59:25

Yes. All right. It says it's stream, it says it's streaming on prime video. So I, I was hoping, or not hoping, I was imagining that this would get, but we're gonna watch beyond the law. So next time, uh, you guys take some notes, take some notes beyond the law, uh, we'll get together and we'll do. We'll do our first half. That's just, uh, it's just us talking about beyond the law. So listener, if you wanna watch, if you wanna watch Beyond the Law as well. Watch along. Yeah, watch along.

Brent 59:58

a segment idea.

George Milton 1:00:00

Okay.

Brent 1:00:00

a segment of ranking foods, highest to lowest of what is the most, to least concerning to see in your stool whenever, uh uh,

George Milton 1:00:09

Uh, veto. Yeah.

justin 1:00:11

Vito,

George Milton 1:00:12

I.

Brent 1:00:13

I just wanted to draw a card out or two, you know, mission accomplished. I'm

George Milton 1:00:16

Be vetoed.

justin 1:00:17

remember eating any corn.

George Milton 1:00:22

I've always eat, I always have eaten some corn and I've always eaten some beets. Um,'cause beets are the most terrifying. I know we've vetoed it, but beets are the worst.

justin 1:00:33

I love beats.

George Milton 1:00:35

Yeah. But every time you eat beets, you think you have colon cancer for like a day or two afterwards, and you're like, oh wait, I remember now beats.

Brent 1:00:42

call your mom and it becomes a thing. No, nevermind.

George Milton 1:00:47

No, I,

justin 1:00:47

that's just you.

George Milton 1:00:48

I call, no, I do call your mom whenever, whenever I eat beets, uh, does it. Guys, we got time for one more. Does anybody wanna bring us home today? I, I've got one or two more, but, uh, we, we'll do a wild card right now.

justin 1:01:03

Wild card round, let's go.

George Milton 1:01:06

Uh, I was, uh, I was gonna do, uh. Overrated, underrated or properly rated for fast food chains. Brent, I, I really want another two lies in a gig. Whenever you have,

Brent 1:01:22

Yeah. No, here. I, I can, I I was, I was prepared on,

justin 1:01:25

Yes.

Brent 1:01:27

although, um, let me pull back up my sheet for that.

George Milton 1:01:32

I feel like at some point I want to do a segment just talking about food stuffs.'cause I'm in the food industry and they launch a bunch of weird stuff,

justin 1:01:40

Weird foods

George Milton 1:01:41

weird foods. Everybody's making protein stuff.

justin 1:01:44

Pepsi,

George Milton 1:01:46

Uh, crystal clear. Pepsi, I think is, I think, I think now's the time to bring it back. We've been talking about it, but now's the time to bring about, bring back crystal clear, crystal Pepsi,

justin 1:01:57

crystal meth, Pepsi.

George Milton 1:01:59

crystal meth, Pepsi.

Brent 1:02:00

All right. So here we go. Got three stories for you. Uh, for anybody that's not familiar, two lies in a gig is a little game where I'm gonna tell three stories about things that have happened to me while doing my job as a dueling piano entertainer. And, uh, two of these will ultimately not add up to be the truth, one of which will be totally, uh, accurate, accurately represented. Um, so the, uh, uh. The story I'll lead off with here. This was, uh, a time that I was doing a private show at a very expensive wedding in Palm Beach, California. Uh, and we get out there, took all the time to get everything set up nicely, and, uh, met the sound guy that was doing everything earlier in that day. Really nice guy and you know, he was one of those sound guys, like many of them tend to be, that really just liked to go on and on about all these gigs that he's run sound for before name dropping, all these huge artists and oh, I traveled to Dubai to do this music festival and all that. Uh, and you know, and we did the sound check and everything was sounding great. Uh, we get there to do the gig that night and we're awaiting the wedding party to get done outside, run back inside, uh, from, and, and we're like the after, after party thing going on for the night. But when we get in there, uh, the DJ is going on is, is playing a little bit until the room gets full. Once he does, and we get up there, I mean, they've got it bumping, it's loud as shit, and everybody's partying. We get up on stage and then as we start playing, you know, everything's going good. But it just seems like we, you know, the, we're having a harder, harder time hearing each other. I finally go over to the speaker and I'm like listening. I'm like, oh shit. One of the speakers is out. And I tell the sound guy and I'm like, Hey, uh, one of your speakers is out. And the guy says, uh, like, oh. And like, well, he's over there and like, listens to it. And he is like, no, that one's on. And I'm like, are you serious? So come to find

George Milton 1:03:56

Find out.

Brent 1:03:57

this. Pro sound guy. His, uh, what he said afterwards was that once we started playing, he was reading the room with the decal meter and realized that it was too loud in there, uh, that the crowd was, was, uh, I don't remember the exact reading, but you know, the crowd was very, very loud and he couldn't get the crowd to be softer. So his answer to getting the crowd to pipe down was to keep lowering the volume. To make sure that they had to be lower, uh, in order to hear us. So he basically ruined our show by making the volume ultimately disappear. We were just, we pretty much only had the stage monitors going by the time this was all said and done. It never went back up after that. He just kept it soft. Uh, second story, um,

justin 1:04:38

Sounds like Charlie Sheen's drug dealer making less crack, powerful crack for him to wean'em off. Drugs, keep dosing them down. Dosing them down.

George Milton 1:04:48

Is that the real story? I haven't watched the thing. I haven't watched the documentary yet.

justin 1:04:52

There he was just like, we knew he couldn't get off of drugs, so we just. It started making crack rocks that were less potent and

George Milton 1:04:59

So by the end of it, he was, he was literally just snorting tide powder.

Brent 1:05:04

All right.

George Milton 1:05:05

Okay, so, so this so soft sound guy. Super soft. Sound.

Brent 1:05:11

Yeah, super soft sound guy. Uh, I had titled it disappearing volume on there, but whatever makes you recall it.

George Milton 1:05:16

Okay.

Brent 1:05:17

The, uh, second one is, uh, uh, I'm gonna say, uh, DJ Mike Jack. And, uh, this was at a, another private show that was actually done at Austin Proper Hotel, which, uh, is the only. Five star hotel in all of Austin. Very fancy thing. They had brought us in there and, uh, we were doing, like, they, they'd organized it where we were playing a little bit, and then they would have the DJ play. And then it was a really, really bad setup. Like it was, it was textbook how to not make sure, how to make sure your party is not a success. But nonetheless, we try to be abiding, do what the client wanted. So, uh. We play a little bit and then we go to take a break and uh, we walk outta the room to just use the bathroom or whatever during the like 20 minute DJ set that was gonna go on. And then we're supposed to go play again. When we get back to the stage, there's only one of the microphones that we left on. The mic stands there in front of the pianos. Um, it, after like looking around everywhere, uh, we finally asked the dj,'cause he's not that far away. We're like, Hey, did you see, did somebody come grab a microphone from over here? And he is like, oh yeah, I got it. That one was mine. We're like. NN No, that was, that was our microphone. Uh, he is like, no, I always get the Sennheisers like, well, I have the sennheisers too. The same type of my, so, you know, it, it, he ultimately gives us the thing back. But it was, it was at least a good five minute exchange of sort of arguing over whose mic this was for me to ultimately get my microphone back from the dj. So, uh, dj, Mike, Jack, uh, story number two there.

George Milton 1:06:53

That's, uh, that's just like Charlie Sheen with drugs, I think as well.

justin 1:06:58

It all goes back to Charlie Sheen and drugs.

George Milton 1:07:01

Now, what's the third story that we can relate to Charlie Sheen and his drug use?

Brent 1:07:05

story that we can relate to Charlie Sheen is actually, uh, pretty, pretty,

justin 1:07:09

Charlie Sheen doing drugs?

Brent 1:07:12

I mean it in this, it, I would result in the same aftermath, um, that, uh, you know, it has to do with some, some, some vomiting. So, uh, this was just someone we, that was at the club, it was their birthday. Uh, we get this, you know, 20 somethings girl up on stage and it becomes very apparent. That she is too drunk to be able to take any sort of instruction to do like, you know, any kind of like a bit or anything. So we just kind of default to the whole like, Hey, well bring your friends up here, you're gonna do a dance, and they're gonna follow along and it'll look choreographed. Um. But she starts doing the dance and, you know, they're just making some random hand movements, but when she brings her hands to her face, then the other girls bring their hands to her face. But you notice just kind of some mild drips coming through the fingers, and then the girl takes off

George Milton 1:08:02

Roast.

Brent 1:08:03

back and, uh, it became obvious that she had kind of barfed in her hands a little bit and had to run to the bathroom. So,

George Milton 1:08:09

Yeah.

Brent 1:08:09

we'll call. We'll call that BARF fans. But, uh, anyway, three Charlie Sheen esque stories, uh, disappearing volume, dj, Mike Jack, and, uh, BARF fans. And, uh, one of those stories is absolutely true. The others have been fudged a little. What are we going with?

justin 1:08:27

I could, I can, I mean, again, these are all tough because I know there's like truth to all of them,

Brent 1:08:33

Yeah,

justin 1:08:33

mean, I've been to,

Brent 1:08:35

right?

justin 1:08:35

I've been to see you guys play and people get So

George Milton 1:08:42

People go hard.

justin 1:08:44

somebody definitely had to have thrown up before, like I could see that happening. So I'm going with barf hands.

George Milton 1:08:50

Oh, bar fans right out the gate. I have to say, first of all, I'm amazed that you have so many Charlie Sheen stories. Uh, if you're picking bar fans, I can't pick bar fans. I feel like the,

justin 1:09:06

could

George Milton 1:09:06

I, no, I, I wanna win and I can't win. If we pick the same thing.

justin 1:09:11

I usually lose so.

George Milton 1:09:12

do usually lose, but you got, you came out strong for bar fans. I feel like I was leaning towards bar fans. Uh, I also think that I've had similar experiences with like, showing up to do a gig. Not necessarily just sound guys.'cause I don't, it's not, not all, hey, not all sound guys. Right. But, uh, but I have had that experience showing up and you do a gig and there's like. You end up working with some other people that you've never met before and they do like weird stuff and they take a cord and they're like, I've had a, I've, I've had a gig where somebody like insisted that this red, you know, monster cable was like their cable. And I'm like, no, I've had, like, I've been using that cable for 10 years. Like there's, this is not your cable. And then like gotten in a fight over a cable. So those stories seem pretty real to me, man. The one about the sound guy turning the sound. Down. I had that has been, I've had that experience too. Not, not necessarily doing the duly piano thing, but like playing in bands where you have like a sound guy who's just like, it's like the sound guys who have done a lot of work at like rock shows where the bands are always pushing it too loud and they're like always fighting. With the bands and so their, their way to like assert themselves is to turn the volume down and just keep turning the volume down. So I'm gonna vote. Super soft sound guy. I bet you got a sound guy who worked too many rock clubs and he was like, just defiantly turning the sound down. So that's my vote. I've cast it.

Brent 1:10:42

Um,

justin 1:10:43

Votes are in. Lock'em in.

Brent 1:10:45

has scored today. Ding, ding,

George Milton 1:10:47

Yes.

Brent 1:10:49

the one that wasn't ultimately true was, uh, DJ Mike Jack. never really had that situation happen at all. Um,

justin 1:10:56

I could see that happen for sure.

Brent 1:10:58

I, but I could certainly see it happening. It just never, you know, no, it wasn't a thing with me. But, uh, yeah, in this case. even though I'm sure people have like, had some, some bar fans, I've never had it really happen while doing a call

justin 1:11:11

Dang it. I knew I was wrong again.

Brent 1:11:14

one was the disappearing

George Milton 1:11:16

Yeah.

Brent 1:11:16

in fact, this

George Milton 1:11:18

Damn. I'm good at the scam.

Brent 1:11:19

as I said, in Palm Beach, California with none other than Johnny King, actually, who I spoke with a couple days ago. He said he was looking forward to checking out these episodes, so, uh,

George Milton 1:11:30

Shout out to Johnny King then if he makes it this far.

Brent 1:11:33

Yeah, I, and so I, I told him I was gonna mention that, but it's something that he and I still talk about because like, it was just like we had, this crowd was so excited and like they'd spent so much money to get us out there and like, it was just, it started off to be so fun and we just could not figure out like where the fucking volume was going. And thankfully the, the bride and groom still had a great time because she ended up kind of standing up on the stage most of the time. So she was still getting hit with our, our monitors. So it wasn't that big of a deal to her, but like you could just tell that the general excitement of the room started to wane towards the back.'cause they just, we weren't connecting with them like that. And, and so it was such a, oh man, it's, it was such a

justin 1:12:13

Why was he doing that? What was his reasoning like? Were you

Brent 1:12:17

because he was back there testing decibels and he's like, oh, you know, wouldn't wanna be damaging people's hearing. And it's like, dude,

justin 1:12:23

what?

Brent 1:12:23

People

George Milton 1:12:24

He's one of those sound guys. He's one of those, I think.

justin 1:12:27

not be a sound guy.

Brent 1:12:29

like

George Milton 1:12:29

Yeah. There's a lot of sound guys.

Brent 1:12:31

That just George Justin was right, that George definitely has an edge in this. Just because

George Milton 1:12:36

Yeah.

Brent 1:12:36

your experience of knowing these types of things really kind of helps paint the picture of like what situations are

George Milton 1:12:43

know, I know those exact, I know those exact sound guys who are like, who fight with the band by just turning down like, you turn up your amp or you turn up your monitor and they're like, well, I'm gonna turn down the mains. And you're like, God damnit.

Brent 1:12:55

Yeah, and it would make sense if we had any amount of that kind of going into it. But it like it's, it's just dueling pianos. We had two keyboards and

George Milton 1:13:03

Yeah.

Brent 1:13:04

so he's in control of all of it, you know? And I, I don't

George Milton 1:13:06

Yeah,

Brent 1:13:07

It

George Milton 1:13:07

the important, the important part of that bit is that I won Again, I fucking rule at this bit,

Brent 1:13:13

You're really good at this

justin 1:13:15

I rule, drool.

George Milton 1:13:17

although, to be honest, to be honest, let me be, let me be honest though, Justin, if you had, let me pick first, I would've picked bar fans like straight up.

justin 1:13:25

feels real

George Milton 1:13:26

Yeah.

justin 1:13:26

like,

Brent 1:13:27

that maybe the last, like three or four times that we've done it, Justin was very quick out of the gate

George Milton 1:13:32

Yeah.

Brent 1:13:32

do something and George is never picking the same ones. So most of the time

George Milton 1:13:36

You're just taking one. You're taking one off the,

Brent 1:13:38

of doing it. Whereas you're giving George a 66% odds, uh,

justin 1:13:42

so George is picking first, next time.

George Milton 1:13:45

I'll pick first next time.

justin 1:13:47

well, yeah,

George Milton 1:13:47

I feel like there could be advantage or disadvantage to picking first. But you did take that one. You did take that one off the board. I would've, I would've picked that one if I picked first.

justin 1:13:55

'cause if you go to Pete's and they're drinking the uh, the bathtubs and the people come in there and they're on sixth Street and they're like faded. How's

George Milton 1:14:02

Oh,

justin 1:14:03

up on the pianos? That's

George Milton 1:14:04

people have, yeah, I've, I've got a bunch of stories where people have thrown up. There was a man. I mean, those are, that's for another time, guys. We're, we're out of time. We're out of time. But people do throw up at those bars. Uh, this is great today, guys. Justin, I hope you feel better, man. Uh.
