Speaker 3 3:08

It would just put it right there. Peyton Manning Jr.

Speaker 1 3:14

All right.

Speaker 3 3:15

We're missing a little bit there and I'm missing a little bit here. He's missing it all as it goes back.

Speaker 1 3:20

Yeah, it's getting worse, slowly retreating from the front, it doesn't help that I slick it back.

Speaker 2 3:25

The great hairline eyebrows. War has not gone well these past few years.

Speaker 1 3:28

It's been a tough couple years. Covid was rough. Anyway, let's get started with our least favorite Christmas Carol movies. What would yours be, Tom?

Speaker 2 3:42

I got to see what year it came out.

Speaker 3 3:43

It was an adaptation of a Christmas Carol.

Speaker 2 3:47

No, it wasn't an anime one, but it was like my dad's favorite one.

Speaker 1 3:51

Was it the black? And?

Christmas Carol Movie Discussions

Speaker 2 3:51

white one, the Scrooge movie from 1951. That was his favorite one. I've seen this three or four times. I've never made it the entire way through without falling asleep. I've seen the whole movie if you compile all those times together, but it's just so bad. And he hasn't watched an entire film. In God, what 20-something years. Your dad? Oh yeah, you put anything on and he sits on the couch in his spot. It lights out in two minutes. Good for him. He doesn't make it, but I hate this movie. Okay, why? And he doesn't make it, but I hate this movie.

Speaker 1 4:24

Okay, why? Just because it's boring. It's boring. Is it one of those studios Because the 50s was really bad?

Speaker 2 4:30

Is it one of those studios produced where it's just the same background for most of the yeah, and it's black and white, but it almost looks like coffee-stained black and white, so it's got a brownish.

Speaker 1 4:41

Oh, that vignette kind of feel Vignette Like to it, the early Wizard of Oz kind of yeah.

Speaker 2 4:46

But like, somehow they did black and white and that combined to make, to make.

Speaker 1 4:54

I think it's because the film gets so old before they were able to Digitally Well, not just digitally, but copy it, so it could be mass produced. So, but yeah, wow, just digitally, but copy it, so it could be mass produced.

Speaker 1 5:07

So, but yeah, well, mine would probably be, uh, the george c scott a christmas carol I can't take them seriously as anything other than patten yeah, the this movie traumatized the hell out of me when I was a kid because that ghost of christmas future was scary af. You know, I think I I was confused because it was a Christmas movie and then it turned into a horror movie. It's on mainstream.

Speaker 3 5:32

This isn't about Christmas.

Speaker 1 5:34

We're going to scare the hell out of you by being a good person.

Speaker 2 5:36

Scrooge, I imagine little you had a beard, some five-year-old kid with a beard I'm hated. I really didn't have a beard until my 30s to be honest with you, I didn't have a beard until I was like early 20s.

Speaker 1 5:52

Mitch.

Speaker 3 5:53

I haven't worn a high school, got a goatee it was a good run. I just don't keep it now yeah, what about you, mitch? The last one that I put on my list was the Zemeckis Christmas Carol with Jim Carrey.

Speaker 1 6:08

Yeah.

Speaker 3 6:08

That's like my lowest tier one that I'll actually watch.

Speaker 2 6:11

I could say that's probably like a top five for me. I saw that in the theaters. It wasn't bad, but it was just kind of there. It was bland. That's my number five.

Speaker 1 6:20

It's my number six out of six that I listed because I don't watch any of the others yeah, like it does the job of telling you the story, but you're kind of like all right, I feel like well, first off, jim carrey isn't the I don't know when he, when he gets funny and goofy, he takes it to the 15th degree and I feel, feel like they told him you have to really overact, do what you did for the Grinch Because you're going to be animated based off your body movements, I'm going to glue ping pong balls to your face.

Speaker 1 6:56

And so he did that and he took that and ran with it and it's got that dead-eyed Robert Zemeckis Polar Express kind of thing to it. The way they animated their faces and stuff is just so goofy, you know yeah they just took it to the 10th degree.

Speaker 2 7:08

There. It's like I've never seen anybody with a nose that actually goes to a point like that, that far away from your face, and have jowls. That's like you can like trace down to like their chin.

Speaker 1 7:21

So that would be. I would agree with you in that. As far as number five, okay, the Muppets one. Oh, I love the Muppets one. That's probably my second or third one.

Speaker 2 7:29

Out of the ones I've seen, I like that one, yeah, and it's actually got music that feels like Christmas it is a Christmassy feeling film.

Speaker 3 7:40

That's my second one.

Speaker 1 7:40

I love the part where Michael Caine just decks one of the puppets. I can't remember if he throws a snowball or a turkey or something but he just eats and hits this little puppet and just flies out. That was one of the funniest.

Speaker 2 7:54

I'll giggle every time I see that I remember Muppets and I always remember just Michael Caine in a top hat.

Speaker 1 7:59

He's so serious dude, he's acting like he's going for the Oscars.

Speaker 2 8:05

He's acting like he's going for the Oscars. He's in a Muppets movie. He's a phenomenal actor.

Speaker 1 8:09

Decrease the surplus population.

Speaker 3 8:10

There's a part with Gonzo and Rizzo and they're like he's like how do we get over this gate? So Gonzo does something that launches him to where he falls flat and Rizzo's like, oh, and he steps through the bars.

Speaker 1 8:26

Like I could have unlocked it for you. Yeah, you're such an idiot. Yeah, I remember that part. Yeah, michael Caine was a good Scrooge. The FX A.

Speaker 2 8:33

Christmas Carol On FX.

Speaker 1 8:34

The deepest, darkest, sexiest Scrooge ever. It's like if the Bill Murray.

Speaker 2 8:40

It's like Scrooge edition.

Speaker 1 8:42

Yeah, it's like they watch the Bill Murray Scrooge version. Thank you, the Bill Murray. It's like they watch the Bill Murray Scrooge version. It's like if they watch that fake one that they were making for that movie and they're like we can do that for real.

Speaker 2 8:55

That's what this is. We can totally do this.

Speaker 1 9:00

What do they say in the movie? You should be terrified to miss this, or?

Speaker 3 9:05

something like that. I watched the first episode of that and I was like, no, I'm good. Yeah, this thing's pretty dumb.

Speaker 1 9:11

So that's my number four. But there is some good parts to it because like it does double down on like that kind of Jack the Ripper kind of you know 1800s London where everything is seedy and you can imagine people who have that cabin fever locked in your house over Christmas kind of feel like take it to the umpteenth level and stuff. So you know, and it does the ghosts and stuff like actually in a scary way, instead of them just be like I'm the ghost of Christmas past, you know. So I would imagine that I don't care how friendly the ghost is, if I saw one I would still be terrifying. I'd be like where's the salt? I need a crowbar. What about you, mitch? My number five was the Flintstones Christmas Carol.

Speaker 3 9:52

That's on this list.

Speaker 1 9:54

So it's actually number 10 for this list out of 21.

Speaker 3 9:59

I always liked the cartoon ones, the most Everyone did.

Speaker 1 10:04

Like the Jetsons had one, mickey Mouse had one.

Speaker 3 10:07

Yeah, that's my number three.

Speaker 1 10:09

With Scrooge McDuck and Scrooge.

Speaker 2 10:11

That was going to be my next one.

Speaker 3 10:14

My number four is the Bugs Bunny. Yeah, bugs Bunny, christmas Carol.

Speaker 1 10:21

Yeah Well, Tam, have you seen any other?

Speaker 2 10:26

The Daffy Duck one, or like the Scrooge McDuck yeah, ebenezer, scrooge, yes, we did mention that.

Speaker 1 10:31

Do you have any notes about it?

Speaker 2 10:33

I remember watching that as like a little kid that would be like. It would be like all like the main Christmas movies and it's like I want to watch cartoons, you know, at Ed and Eddie or something, and I'd go to like Cartoon Network or go to Nickelodeon or start surfing through channels and it's like, oh, cartoon stuff, and it's like it's still Christmas.

Speaker 1 10:50

So that's pretty much. You're tapped out on all like Christmas Carol movies.

Speaker 2 10:53

Now, the only other one I have, left is the one I've watched, like every year.

Speaker 1 10:55

Okay.

Speaker 2 10:56

What's that Scrooge? 1970. 1970. There you go, one with Albert Finney.

Speaker 3 11:04

Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 11:05

That's also a musical, but it's the only musical I like.

Speaker 3 11:07

I haven't seen that one. That's the best one.

Speaker 1 11:09

According to this list, that's the worst one.

Speaker 3 11:12

Well, they're wrong On Collider Whoa whoa, whoa, let's not get like Hayden.

Speaker 1 11:17

Yeah.

Speaker 2 11:17

Your opinion is the only right opinion. Yeah, so they play that at Radio City Music Hall.

Speaker 1 11:23

Oh wow, the people who did the Hobbit cartoons from the 70s, rankin and Bash yeah, they did a Christmas Carol also.

Speaker 3 11:35

There's several cartoon ones that I've never heard of the stingiest man in town.

Speaker 2 11:39

Did they have animation and then real people running around?

Speaker 1 11:43

Yeah, where they would retroscope animation over them, rotoscope.

Speaker 2 11:47

That's how they did the orcs Just a bunch of dudes in masks.

Speaker 1 11:51

Mr Magoo's Christmas special Bugs Bunny Christmas Carol. A Christmas Carol, the musical yeah, but Alan Menken did that one. So there you go, mrs Scrooge. Christmas Carol, the movie Nicolas Cage voiced Marley in this movie and Kate Winslet's also in it. That's an odd combination, yeah. And there's the Robert Zemeckis, the FX of Christmas Carol. To die for Mickey's Christmas Carol, flintstones 99. This is my number. Three is the Patrick Stewart 99.

Speaker 3 12:29

I knew it would be Just because, patrick.

Speaker 1 12:31

Stewart's in it. He's a great Scrooge so you know he can play that like that. That visory old like super angry, I know.

Speaker 2 12:41

I just knew with Patrick Stewart he was going to be on your list somewhere it's so easy to picture, especially watching the Picard, and then like they introduce kids and he's like get away.

Speaker 1 12:51

It's like what do?

Speaker 3 12:52

you mean this is just an episode of Star Trek where they're on the little hologram he's in the holodeck.

Speaker 1 12:57

This list has like Data was Jim Cratchit the top three are like her is marley from 1940s and earlier, so I saw there was like one.

Speaker 2 13:06

That was right, it was like the 1905 one what?

Speaker 1 13:10

why? Yeah, yeah, it was a silent film, uh, but my number one, of course, is scrooged, mine too. Oh good, glad you're here, so you are wrong tom mitch have voted you out I just like bill mur.

Speaker 3 13:23

He's funny in everything.

Speaker 1 13:25

Yeah, he's definitely the best in my opinion. So what was your last few?

Speaker 3 13:31

Well, it was Scrooge at number one. Number two was the Muppet Christmas Carol, three was Mickey's Christmas Carol, and then Bugs, bunny, flintstones and Zemeckis.

Speaker 1 13:40

You don't like the Bill Murray one? Well, you're about to get wrecked in this trivia.

Speaker 1 14:26

Speaker 2 14:36

I'm going to talk about it. I only like these five.

Speaker 3 14:39

To be fair, the story is a little redundant. Yes, scrooge is the only one that doesn't like Christmas.

Speaker 1 34:53

Same guy did Superman, so I think Mitch won. Yeah, I'm pretty confident. I feel like we don't need to add it up here you know what's sad is like, since it was so one-sided and he knew everything. We did that in like 10 minutes. That was almost 50 questions and Mitch knew damn near all of them you should have been like all right.

Speaker 2 35:12

now I'm going to start asking Lord of the Rings questions.

Speaker 1 35:14

I knew the stupid Scrooge thing wasn't going to take very long, and so we could have so many other questions.

Speaker 3 35:25

Well, we could play a little game. What's the difference between elves, gnomes and gremlins? Location, location size are elves and gnomes different sizes?

Speaker 1 35:35

yeah, according to well, probably, like according to wikipedia.

Speaker 2 35:40

it's like this between orcs and goblins Orcs are above ground, goblins live underground.

Speaker 1 35:43

Well, that's Tolkien. But if you want to look at like lore and etymology, you know, I think gnomes are not from. I want to say elves are Norse mythology and gnomes are something else.

Speaker 2 35:57

I thought gnomes were Norse mythology and elves were like English.

Speaker 1 36:01

I know trolls and giants are Norse mythology. I don't know which ones.

Speaker 3 36:05

What about?

Speaker 1 36:05

gremlins, that's like. I think that's something made up recently isn't it?

Speaker 2 36:09

I think that's actually recent-ish, within like the last 100, 200 years, I don't know, I ain't seen gremlins in any of my deep dives on Wikipedia. If you deep dive into Wikipedia, it's like how many pages.

Speaker 1 36:25

before you get to Hitler, there is a game called Six Clicks to Jesus.

Speaker 2 36:28

Or the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.

Speaker 1 36:30

But it's with Wikipedia. So if I say you know Gensu knives to Mitch, he's got to figure out how to get to Jesus in six clicks.

Speaker 2 36:38

It's possible it is possible.

Speaker 3 36:40

Number two Would you rather have to shop like you have to put an effort, shop for the most elusive toy on Christmas Eve, or you have to decorate your house in an attempt to win a Christmas decoration contest?

Speaker 1 36:53

I hate shopping.

Speaker 3 36:54

I hate decorating, I hate decorating more alright, so how big is the house? Uh, two bedroom or a two story house. Ugh, yeah, I'm.

Speaker 1 37:04

How big is the house? Two-story house. Yeah, I'm shopping. Yeah, I'll go shopping.

Speaker 2 37:06

That means I've got to go up a ladder, yeah.

Speaker 3 37:09

I'm not doing that either.

Speaker 2 37:10

It's probably cold.

Speaker 3 37:12

That means you've got to drive around and be in the big long lines on Christmas Eve.

Speaker 2 37:16

Do people still do that they do? I always thought that was like a movie trope, Like who's that stupid?

Speaker 1 37:22

Well, you clearly haven't done much shopping for people.

Speaker 2 37:27

I do know one person who did my dad's father when he was a detective. But they went out on Christmas Eve on the job to get his wife a present and he got her a sweater that had a footprint on it because it was on the floor from some department store in New York City and that's been the running joke ever with him since 1998.

Speaker 3 37:45

That's funny. Alright, the next one. So you're making a Christmas movie. You gotta hire a living actor as Santa, and it can't be somebody that's ever played him. So who are you going to pick to play Santa?

Speaker 1 37:55

Michael Caine. Has John Goodman ever been Santa? Well, he was in the cartoon Futurama. Has Michael?

Speaker 2 38:00

Caine ever been Santa? I don't know. I don't think he can have. You been a good boy. Or have you been naughty, morgan Freeman.

Speaker 3 38:09

Morgan Freeman, has he been Santa?

Speaker 1 38:12

Probably has.

Speaker 3 38:13

He's been everything, he's been God.

Speaker 2 38:15

Yeah, that's true he has. I mean, there's a lot of people who have not played Santa, and then there's random people who have that you didn't expect.

Speaker 1 38:23

Yeah, like Tim Allen.

Speaker 2 38:25

Yeah, bill Goldberg, that's true. What about Stone Cold? Steve Austin as Santa.

Speaker 3 38:32

He's been dressed up as Santa on wrestling.

Speaker 1 38:34

That's just the same thing as Bill Goldberg. It really is.

Speaker 2 38:36

You really can't pick a wrestler, john Cena, who would be funny. Like, do they have to be alive or dead? Alive okay, clint eastwood you want a christmas present now you gotta ask yourself a question have you been nice or naughty?

Speaker 3 38:56

all right on the next one here. Would you rather be stuck in a building like an apartment building? Or, let's say, would you rather be stuck in like a business office with the Gremlins or Krampus or the Gremlins and they're all after you, the?

Speaker 2 39:12

Gremlins.

Speaker 1 39:13

The Gremlins. I can beat the Gremlins.

Speaker 2 39:14

I mean like I can take like three of them at once, if I have to the two supernatural episodes in that one movie that I saw of Krampus.

Speaker 1 39:20

it makes him seem like he can teleport and crap like that. He's like superhuman.

Speaker 2 39:23

I don't want to deal with that. Even Call of Duty Krampus was horrifying.

Speaker 3 39:26

Oh yeah, he looked like a yeti or something.

Speaker 2 39:30

I don't want that.

Speaker 1 39:31

The little gremlins, those are just cats with really big ears, you just yeet them into the microwave and what else?

Speaker 2 39:42

How, or else they'd kill him. I mean, I have guns. Yeah, I guess they could take a shot to the face too, the one that had the trench coat on he goes.

Speaker 1 39:46

Yeah, that's a good Christmas movie.

Speaker 3 39:48

I have another question, but it kind of goes along with our next episode.

Speaker 1 39:51

so Go for it. We got ten minutes to fill.

Speaker 3 39:56

What was the most elusive Christmas present you always wanted?

Speaker 1 40:00

But, never, got the elusive Christmas present you always wanted. But never got the elusive Christmas present the white tiger.

Speaker 2 40:04

Megazord.

Speaker 3 40:05

I had that one.

Speaker 2 40:05

I didn't.

Speaker 3 40:06

I never had the Dragonzord.

Speaker 2 40:08

I had the Dragonzord.

Speaker 1 40:10

I always wanted a Sega. I remember when the console wars really first started with Nintendo and Sega, and I got a Nintendo and I was very grateful for that. But I said, okay, now I want a sega. And my parents were like, why you already have a nintendo? And I was like, but there's different games on sega. And they just did not understand that in the slightest bit. They didn't care they're like.

Speaker 2 40:35

No, you'll be good with what you got like I had to explain to my parents in like 2008 that I could play Xbox Live and they could use the phone at the same time.

Speaker 1 40:44

Yeah, I think that's just a matter of ignorance. Kind of like when you're playing a live game online and they tell you to pause it. Yeah you can't do that.

Speaker 2 40:52

Doesn't work.

Speaker 1 40:53

All right, everybody stand still. They say something like you know. I remember my mom saying something like you mean to tell me that you could pause for the past 12 years of your life and then now, all of a sudden, you can't.

Speaker 2 41:02

Yes, yes, that's how speedy games have gotten better. This is live.

Speaker 1 41:07

This is happening now, so has your parents ever like? Yanked the power cord out of your when you're playing too much. No, no, okay.

Lego Building and Christmas Memories

Speaker 2 41:17

That's never happened. I had another like present issue, but it wasn't like Christmas but like the whole. When Game Boy Advance came out, I talked about it all year.

And then it was my brother's birthday and my grandparents got it for him. Oh snap, and he's younger than me. He had no idea. He's not even really interested. I lost my freaking mind.

Speaker 2 41:55

I was so mad and I was just pacing back and forth and I really wanted to just be like, and I fans like are all of you dumb? Have none of you listened the entire year?

Speaker 1 42:03

They're probably doing it. Just be mean to you, Like, yeah, you must've been like a really awful kid that year. They're like not only will we not give him the present, but we're going to give it to his brother.

Speaker 2 42:22

no-transcript wanted and he'd get it for Robert. It's like what the hell?

Speaker 1 42:27

They went and got me one and they were just like here, shut up so you wind your way into getting a Game.

Speaker 2 42:32

Boy, I was nine, I was like ten.

Speaker 1 42:34

My parents would have been like you really want it that bad and you're annoying me about it.

Speaker 2 42:38

Let's say you wanted something You're just like hey look, this is what I want. I just want this one thing, Just this one thing. You have siblings. They get it for all of them, but not you, and you're just like I never wanted anything that my sisters wanted. Let's just say it's a common item.

Speaker 1 42:57

a common item for a boy A hat, a shoe. I didn't care about clothes when I was like nine years old.

Speaker 2 43:01

Some sort of watch, I don't know.

Speaker 1 43:02

I didn't care about watches either. I don't know. I'm still mad about the white tiger's word, though I never really wanted any toys. I think I always wanted video games. Well, I always said I wanted Legos, or Lego is the proper way to say it. But you know, I never like specified what specific one I wanted.

Speaker 2 43:25

I like, like. If I got them I'd be like oh cool legos yeah but I was never just like, no, I just say they'd be like what do you want for christmas?

Speaker 1 43:32

I'd list like my top 10 video games I wanted and they give me like one of them, and then I'd say legos on top of that and they'd get me like a, like a crap ton of Legos or a big, I don't know battleship and I'd make it and then destroy it and then never make it like back to the way it was again. It just added to the giant pile of Legos that I have in my closet.

Speaker 3 43:51

See, I would play with Legos, but I never built any like specific things, I just made whatever I could think of.

Speaker 1 43:57

Some of the stuff was pretty cool, Like I had a like.

Speaker 2 43:59

It came in like a blue container, it was like a small little like you know storage container, but it was just random Legos, all different colors, all different shapes and sizes. Yeah, and like me and my brother would just go nuts making like guns, ships, cars and stuff.

Speaker 1 44:13

Yeah, I think the I used to have K'nex you remember K'nex x?

Speaker 2 44:24

yeah, yeah, yeah, you could do that and it was like a, like a cheaper version of a rector set outside. Then you had like the bendy ones, because they look like pasta that you hadn't cooked yet, like the wheel ones look like the wagon wheel, you know it's.

Speaker 1 44:31

What's funny, though, is like my grandma would always get me mega blocks because they were cheaper than lego and but they're like they're not compatible no, and they're crappy too, like the pieces don't fit to each other necessarily, or if you put them together, they don't come back apart yeah, and then I one time I asked for a Mega Block because Halo did a Mega Block deal and they were the crappiest little designs ever. So I was like never again get what you pay for for Lego. It's expensive, but they work.

Speaker 2 45:00

Lego is a name brand. No one else is going to get in on the small plastic brick market. Lego has the monopoly.

Speaker 1 45:08

What was the coolest Lego set you ever got?

Speaker 3 45:11

Like I said, I never really got sets.

Speaker 1 45:12

I just got random stuff and used my imagination.

Speaker 2 45:16

I still have it. I got to kind of put it back together because part of it broke off, but it's not like broken, broken, just the leg that came apart, it's a B-wing.

Speaker 1 45:25

Is it pretty big too?

Speaker 2 45:26

It's about, I'd say probably about a foot long and it's about maybe four or five inches thick, but it's a Starfighter that has the rotating cockpit and then the two other wings pull out.

Speaker 1 45:38

I had the.

Speaker 2 45:38

I think it was like a 1300 piece aircraft carrier and it took me for aircraft carrier.

Speaker 1 45:44

Yeah, lucky yeah I was like when I was like 14 or 15, when I was a little bit older, and uh, it took me like a month to build that thing. It was cool. I had a little elevator that you could put the little planes on and raise them up.

Speaker 2 45:56

That's awesome you could get me that now yeah, no, it was really cool.

Speaker 1 45:59

There's's actually some adult Lego sets out there.

Speaker 2 46:07

You can make a super detailed version of the Eiffel Tower or something like that, but it's like 3,000 or 4,000 feet in pieces.

Speaker 1 46:12

And I'm looking at that and I'm like I kind of want that it's therapeutic.

Speaker 2 46:14

Yeah, I kind of want that it's therapeutic to sit there and put it together and then, of course, like the biggest Lego ever is the Death Star.

Speaker 1 46:21

I think it's.

Speaker 3 46:24

Oh, what about the one that was on Spider-Man that they were putting together?

Speaker 1 46:27

It's ginormous Let me see how many pieces it is.

Speaker 2 46:29

It's one to one.

Speaker 1 46:31

Yes, one to one, there you go.

Speaker 2 46:34

No one's actually built it yet. No one's bought it either 3,417 pieces.

Speaker 1 46:42

Jeez, louise, that's busy and that's like the half blown up one. Oh, the second Death Star, yeah.

Speaker 2 46:48

Which traditionally was bigger than the first Death Star.

Speaker 1 46:51

So let's see if the first one's even bigger than that. Because they had that one that had the Super Star Destroyer.

Speaker 2 47:00

The Millennium Falcon? I don't know Millennium Falcon, I don't know the Millennium Falcon was big the first one was 4,000 pieces, so yeah, so what's the biggest? Lego, the biggest Lego set you can buy the Millennium Falcon it is the Millennium Falcon that's what Dr Google says in terms of square brick.

Speaker 1 47:22

Oh no wait, the Lego world map. What?

Speaker 2 47:27

Yeah, that's probably just because of the surface area, but it's flat.

Speaker 1 47:32

Yeah, I would imagine it is 11,695 pieces. That'd be kind of cool to have If you're like a teacher or something.

Speaker 2 47:41

It looks like a map in a game.

Speaker 1 47:42

It does like an old, pixelated map.

Speaker 2 47:45

Like I'm playing like Skyrim, like Daggerfall or something, or Elder Scrolls like, or like Morrowind.

Speaker 1 47:51

Lego Titanic 9,090 pieces. There's the Eiffel Tower. This is oh, this is 10,000 pieces, Is it really? Yeah, the Coliseum would be pretty cool to have.

Speaker 2 48:02

Oh yeah, that'd be a good one 9,000 pieces.

Speaker 1 48:05

Millennium Falcon 7,500. At-at 6,785. That's actually a really good-looking AT it actually does look really good. There's the Razor's Crest, 6,197. I saw that at Walmart.

Speaker 2 48:21

I think that was like.

Speaker 1 48:22

Harry Potter Castle.

Speaker 2 48:23

Does it tell you how much it costs?

Speaker 1 48:27

Yes, which one do you want to see the Razor?

Speaker 2 48:28

Crest yeah.

Speaker 1 48:29

What's the price? They put? $600. Jeez, yeah, let's see how much that is.

Speaker 2 48:35

Why is?

Speaker 1 48:36

Lego that expensive Because it's quality stuff, man. The AT-AT is $800.

Speaker 2 48:40

I'm not paying $800 for Legos. They're Legos.

Speaker 1 48:48

The Millennium Falcon is $800. The Coliseum you could buy guns for cheaper. Yeah, $550. And it doesn't tell you how much the Eiffel Tower is or how much the world map is. Oh, that's not so bad, it's 250. It's just nobody wants to build it. Yeah, because it's a map.

Speaker 2 49:09

Yeah, I mean I get that the Star Wars ones would be a little bit more, because like licensing, yeah, but at the same time like $800 for plastic bricks.

Speaker 1 49:20

That's expensive, that is very expensive. I wonder, like if you could just buy the instructions offline and then buy pieces of like those small kits that have all those pieces for the instructions you can do that at like the Lego store, because they just have like boxes of bricks, Random stuff, and see if you can like piecemeal it together, Like if you just get like the color.

Speaker 2 49:38

You could probably build one in blue. It's a different pattern. That'd be kind of fun.

Speaker 1 49:44

Alright, we've officially killed enough time. It is now time for Mitch's issuing of the punishment to Tam.

Speaker 3 49:51

You get to watch Tough Guys, don't Dance Ooh.

Speaker 2 49:58

Put that in the chat, wait.

Speaker 1 50:01

I watched that one.

Speaker 3 50:01

You did, oh man.

Speaker 1 50:03

Yeah, that was like damn it, that was year one.

Speaker 3 50:05

Okay, you can watch Cool Cats Save Kids.

Speaker 2 50:09

Cool Cats Save Kids. Yeah, okay, all right, all you cool cats and kittens.

Speaker 1 50:14

Hey, all you cool cats and kittens, cool cats. You know what I just realized? Save, I didn't do my punishment. Yeah, I just realized that I was like who got punished? Oh crap, that was me, wasn't?

Speaker 2 50:32

it. What was your punishment?

Speaker 1 50:34

I messaged it, it was.

Speaker 3 50:36

Who gave it to you?

Speaker 1 50:38

I think Tom did. Obviously he forgot no.

Speaker 2 50:41

I knew one of you.

Speaker 3 50:43

No, he did the trivia. I punished you with something.

Speaker 1 50:45

Yeah, what was that?

Speaker 3 50:46

I don't know, Let me get through my 15 billion.

Speaker 1 50:51

Get online messages from you guys.

Speaker 2 50:54

I've got head, head, head, head, head, head, head.

Speaker 1 50:57

Tom Radio transmission. No, that's not it. I don't know. I guess, since we can't find it, it's null and void, so I don't have to worry about it.

Speaker 2 51:10

We're not going to accept that. That doesn't work that way.

Speaker 3 51:13

I can just give you two different ones.

Speaker 1 51:15

You can just give me another one and I'll remember what the last one is.

Speaker 3 51:20

Okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 51:21

I'll listen to the last episode, or something.

Speaker 2 51:23

No, he won't, He'll forget.

Speaker 3 51:26

Your other one you can watch is the Miami connection.

Speaker 1 51:28

All right, okay, I'll message it into our group chat.

Speaker 3 51:33

Yeah, cause that helped last time.

Speaker 2 51:35

Yeah, message it to Mitch, cause. How often do you text Mitch in direct, directly on messenger, maybe Mitch how?

Speaker 1 51:41

often do you text Mitch directly on Messenger? Maybe I text him quite often Tom, A lot more than you, obviously.

Speaker 2 51:46

Mitch. Is this accurate?

Speaker 1 51:48

I don't know Miami connection like the French connections, but in Miami.

Speaker 3 51:53

It's made by the same people that made Samurai Cop, or in that vein.

Speaker 1 51:57

Oh man, why do you do this to me? That's what you get, all right. Well, we bumbled through this episode.

Trivia Punishment Hot Sauce Rule

Speaker 3 52:05

I don't think we bumbled at all. I did really great in trivia. You did it too good and you did too terrible.

Speaker 1 52:12

So like that should be, like. I think we should start a rule that if you double the other person's score, you should get twice as many punishments.

Speaker 2 52:19

That's like getting skunked in beer. You get twice as many punishments. That's like getting skunked in beer. It's just like if you get skunked, you got to run around like the house naked or something.

Speaker 1 52:25

I'm not running around the apartment building naked.

Speaker 3 52:27

Strip down, get to the bottom floor down there, because you know.

Speaker 1 52:29

Tom woke up and he was like I didn't watch the movie for trivia. He was like I'll take the punishment. You know he went willing to do the work anymore.

Speaker 3 52:43

Hot sauce.

Speaker 1 52:44

Hot sauce. No, if you get doubled, you got to do hot sauce. You can't retroactively punish me. We're not doing it. It's starting now. It's starting from now on.

Speaker 3 52:52

I hope this is a good idea, though, because I might not win next time. Well, because what's going to happen if you put Mitch?

Speaker 2 52:56

against me in something I know far more about in something I know far more about.

Speaker 1 52:59

That sucks. I guess Mitch better really study up so he doesn't at least get hot-sauced.

Speaker 2 53:03

What happens if he did like Lord of the Rings trivia? No, don't.

Speaker 1 53:05

Oh, that would be fair. We've already done that too many times. Six times so moving forward if we do some movie that you are pretty savvy in and Mitch is, and he's got to study up enough enough to at least not be doubled or else the hot sauce, the sauce, the sauce.

Speaker 1 53:25

All right, that's it for this week's episode. Uh, and join us on thursday, where we'll talk about news and reviews, and not my trivia, because I forgot to, or my punishment because I forgot to do mine, so that'll be future me's problem for two episodes, or he could end up with three punishments by the time he's done with the trivia for the next episode.

Speaker 2 53:43

We can only be so lucky so but that's it for this.

Speaker 1 53:47

We'll see you on Thursday. Goodbye from Mitch, bye, goodbye from Tam, bye, tam, and goodbye from me. Goodbye.

Speaker 2 54:06

Oh yeah, I forgot, we were at Camden this whole time. Cyclops, is it still recording?

Speaker 3 54:23

No, it's done.

Speaker 2 54:27

We should probably hit.
