00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:16.039
Hey, it's Water Cooler. Thank you so much for hanging
2
00:00:16.100 --> 00:00:18.699
out with us this week. We appreciate it. You know
3
00:00:18.730 --> 00:00:22.210
how it goes. I, Chris Loxamana, kick it with my
4
00:00:22.410 --> 00:00:27.390
former Corolla Digital co-workers, current friends with me today. All
5
00:00:27.429 --> 00:00:31.019
the way In Long Beach, California, like myself, it's Kalen Bean.
6
00:00:32.060 --> 00:00:32.780
Come on, Kalen.
7
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:36.679
Oh, look at that.
8
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.299
Right out of the gate. You know, I think you all.
9
00:00:40.329 --> 00:00:41.710
My own drop.
10
00:00:41.869 --> 00:00:42.609
I got my own drop.
11
00:00:42.630 --> 00:00:43.369
We all had our own.
12
00:00:43.409 --> 00:00:46.990
Maybe we chime in because I know I could think
13
00:00:47.009 --> 00:00:49.810
of something that you guys had. And then all the way,
14
00:00:50.450 --> 00:00:53.329
I'm really looking forward to this one. In Austin, Texas,
15
00:00:54.130 --> 00:00:55.030
it's Matt Fondelier.
16
00:00:55.869 --> 00:00:56.210
Boom.
17
00:00:57.689 --> 00:01:01.780
Nailed it. And in Orange County, California, Gary Smith.
18
00:01:02.649 --> 00:01:05.829
Hi, Gary. I thought you were going to go ahead.
19
00:01:06.090 --> 00:01:08.370
I can't remember one of my own. Give it to me.
20
00:01:08.390 --> 00:01:09.349
I'll give it back to you.
21
00:01:09.510 --> 00:01:10.489
Young Money Cash Money.
22
00:01:11.409 --> 00:01:13.250
Young Money Cash Money.
23
00:01:13.269 --> 00:01:14.109
Young Money Cash Money.
24
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:18.319
I forgot about Young Money Cash Money.
25
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.540
And yeah, it's me, Chris. Here we go.
26
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:23.459
All right.
27
00:01:23.540 --> 00:01:25.379
So there.
28
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:26.420
Yeah, I mean.
29
00:01:27.620 --> 00:01:28.939
First off, Mike Dawson not here.
30
00:01:29.019 --> 00:01:30.640
He has work tonight.
31
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:31.120
Dude!
32
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:31.819
There you go.
33
00:01:31.939 --> 00:01:33.180
I mean, there's plenty.
34
00:01:33.819 --> 00:01:34.739
I saw you see me.
35
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:39.900
So I assume most of the listeners of this show
36
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:45.090
who have heard that Paul Bryan are aware that he
37
00:01:45.129 --> 00:01:48.950
passed away last Friday. And we have not had a
38
00:01:48.969 --> 00:01:52.290
chance to address it on this show. As you hear this,
39
00:01:52.390 --> 00:01:56.109
it would have been about a week ago. Um, but
40
00:01:56.189 --> 00:01:58.670
I mean, there are plenty of tributes that have happened
41
00:01:58.909 --> 00:02:00.590
since then on social media.
42
00:02:00.890 --> 00:02:03.439
Um, Alison show posted some stuff.
43
00:02:03.500 --> 00:02:07.239
I know, uh, film vault has some, some things going on.
44
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:09.460
And, um, and then I roll a show.
45
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:09.800
I went on.
46
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:09.960
Yeah.
47
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.939
You, sir, you went on the Corolla show.
48
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:15.319
And Dawson together. Well, Dawson was just at work.
49
00:02:16.060 --> 00:02:17.139
That that's a good point.
50
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:22.180
That's true. Well, he was, but he, he rolled in.
51
00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:23.900
That was a last minute.
52
00:02:24.379 --> 00:02:28.099
Emergency pod that we came in on a Sunday morning
53
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:34.199
to record. And Dawson went straight from his hotel room
54
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:39.719
in Vegas to the studio, basically. So, yeah, so he
55
00:02:39.780 --> 00:02:43.590
was hurting a little bit, too. Not that he was just, like,
56
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.449
hungover or anything. He was just tired. I mean, the
57
00:02:46.650 --> 00:02:49.830
guy was doing comedy in Vegas the night before and
58
00:02:49.870 --> 00:02:51.069
drove straight to the studio.
59
00:02:51.090 --> 00:02:52.969
Which is classically a sober activity.
60
00:02:52.990 --> 00:02:53.169
Yeah.
61
00:02:53.189 --> 00:02:53.409
Yeah.
62
00:02:54.330 --> 00:02:57.330
You know, I didn't ask. I didn't ask, but not
63
00:02:57.370 --> 00:02:59.849
my place. And it really wasn't the time either, actually,
64
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.800
if you think about it. But look, we worked with
65
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:10.020
Brian for many years. He was a fixture on the
66
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:13.080
show where we all, the hosts of this show, became
67
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:15.120
friends and met.
68
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.699
I was actually a fan of the radio show before
69
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:24.360
the podcast. So he and Teresa were the co-hosts for
70
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:26.370
Adam on, I think, KLSX.
71
00:03:26.409 --> 00:03:28.050
Did they get that call signal right?
72
00:03:28.569 --> 00:03:31.550
And so before I ever worked for Corolla, I just
73
00:03:31.610 --> 00:03:34.319
used to listen to that show. And obviously Brian was
74
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.740
the movie guy and just all of those sound drops.
75
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:40.219
That was as big of a draw to me. as
76
00:03:40.310 --> 00:03:42.379
Carolla was. Like, I actually was like, oh, I actually
77
00:03:42.460 --> 00:03:45.300
like the sidekicks on this show. And that was like,
78
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:47.520
I never listened to Stern, but that was kind of
79
00:03:47.539 --> 00:03:50.340
like my equivalent was listening to that on like a
80
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:51.659
huge commute in the morning.
81
00:03:52.460 --> 00:03:56.860
I think there's something inherently, I'll just say male, about
82
00:03:56.979 --> 00:04:00.419
movie quotes and just quoting pop culture and just the
83
00:04:00.460 --> 00:04:05.039
way we like to just say movie quotes. Like, Kalen,
84
00:04:05.060 --> 00:04:08.800
we have two people in Jen's family who just rifle
85
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:13.280
off movie quotes as if it was... They're like Bumblebee Transformers. Like,
86
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.199
they'll just... One of them has a Point Break tattoo
87
00:04:16.259 --> 00:04:16.480
on his.
88
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.930
I was going to say, is it Point Break and Tombstone?
89
00:04:19.970 --> 00:04:22.389
Or are there two movies that are just rifled off
90
00:04:22.430 --> 00:04:23.490
quotes all the time?
91
00:04:23.550 --> 00:04:24.329
Yeah, well, it's just.
92
00:04:24.790 --> 00:04:26.269
Guys can just talk in movie quotes.
93
00:04:26.329 --> 00:04:27.209
We do. We do.
94
00:04:27.290 --> 00:04:27.870
And I think we.
95
00:04:27.970 --> 00:04:30.769
So, the fact that there's a guy in Adam's show
96
00:04:31.170 --> 00:04:36.379
who did that but used the actual audio from the movies, just... Yeah,
97
00:04:36.420 --> 00:04:39.189
I think it just kind of Hooked us in a
98
00:04:39.250 --> 00:04:40.029
little deeper.
99
00:04:40.790 --> 00:04:43.670
But I think the real skill of Brian was, and
100
00:04:44.029 --> 00:04:47.649
I sent this message to be read to him maybe.
101
00:04:47.850 --> 00:04:49.209
I don't know if it got there in time. But
102
00:04:49.709 --> 00:04:52.769
Brian's real skill was the ability to capture something live
103
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.500
as it happened and then use it to call back
104
00:04:55.819 --> 00:04:58.220
for the next hour and 15 minutes of the show.
105
00:04:58.339 --> 00:05:02.459
And he was a fucking sniper. at having that piece
106
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.240
of audio and waiting 26 minutes and then using it
107
00:05:05.300 --> 00:05:07.699
again and then waiting 14 minutes and then using it
108
00:05:07.740 --> 00:05:10.660
again and would just make a show 60% funnier than
109
00:05:10.699 --> 00:05:12.180
it probably was going to otherwise be.
110
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:12.939
Right.
111
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:13.839
Yeah.
112
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:15.379
I think it's so many times where he did that.
113
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.279
Andy Dick comes to mind just as like the first
114
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:19.199
time I saw it happen live was I.
115
00:05:19.189 --> 00:05:23.649
Can't just in terms of like laughs probably while you
116
00:05:23.689 --> 00:05:26.850
were listening, but also definitely in the booth between all
117
00:05:26.870 --> 00:05:30.069
of us. Um, With Adam, you know, you knew he
118
00:05:30.290 --> 00:05:32.129
was kind of doing a bit or he was like
119
00:05:32.180 --> 00:05:36.920
chambering a joke. So really, the like sudden outburst of laugh,
120
00:05:37.019 --> 00:05:41.360
like extreme laughter always came from Brian hitting a drop
121
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:44.480
unexpectedly out of nowhere.
122
00:05:44.660 --> 00:05:46.439
Like that was really.
123
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.750
Lit up the booth more than anything was when we
124
00:05:48.790 --> 00:05:51.230
just didn't know it was coming. Like, obviously, you know,
125
00:05:51.310 --> 00:05:53.740
Adam's doing his thing. He's riffing, he's ranting. But when
126
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.819
Brian would just hit that drop or take that quote
127
00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:59.019
that none of the rest of us heard and then
128
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:04.370
drop it later in the show, it was like it
129
00:06:04.430 --> 00:06:07.009
was the most sudden outburst of laughter that I think
130
00:06:07.050 --> 00:06:09.110
the booth ever, ever had.
131
00:06:09.649 --> 00:06:12.250
Well, Kalen, you had a unique perspective because the way
132
00:06:12.370 --> 00:06:15.060
Adam set up the sound booth in his studio, there
133
00:06:15.100 --> 00:06:17.500
was a big window that Dawson could look through. Then
134
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:19.959
there was a big wall where Kalen sat and couldn't
135
00:06:19.980 --> 00:06:22.459
see anything that was happening in the studio. And then
136
00:06:22.500 --> 00:06:24.610
there was a little window where Chris or I would
137
00:06:24.709 --> 00:06:25.610
usually be stationed.
138
00:06:25.970 --> 00:06:26.149
But.
139
00:06:26.500 --> 00:06:29.459
One of the funniest parts about this was when Brian
140
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:32.959
would hear a drop, he would start frantically moving around
141
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.879
and going from his computer to his sound machine, and
142
00:06:35.899 --> 00:06:38.670
you could just tell something was coming. You didn't necessarily
143
00:06:38.709 --> 00:06:41.189
know what, but you could see this look on Brian's
144
00:06:41.209 --> 00:06:43.509
face of like, I got a fucking gem, and you
145
00:06:43.529 --> 00:06:46.810
just buckle up. So it wasn't necessarily as sudden for
146
00:06:46.970 --> 00:06:48.449
us as it was for you, Kalen, but.
147
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:51.550
It was I caught on to the point where like
148
00:06:51.689 --> 00:06:54.689
if we did hear something like I would look over
149
00:06:54.850 --> 00:06:57.730
to see if he was working on the drop at
150
00:06:57.769 --> 00:07:00.519
the moment. So like, yeah, but it was again, it
151
00:07:00.649 --> 00:07:06.279
was just that unexpected fucking gem that he would throw
152
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:08.800
down that would just make the booth go crazy and
153
00:07:08.819 --> 00:07:10.720
probably everybody else like listening in their headphones.
154
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.870
And also came a game guessing what the end drop was.
155
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:16.439
Every time, like someone would... You would just hear... And
156
00:07:16.459 --> 00:07:19.259
then you would start to get tuned into it and go, oh,
157
00:07:19.670 --> 00:07:21.060
that's going to be it. That's going to be the
158
00:07:21.110 --> 00:07:22.819
end drop. Because usually the guest doesn't even know it's
159
00:07:22.850 --> 00:07:25.930
going to happen to him or her. So when we
160
00:07:25.970 --> 00:07:27.769
hear it, we just... I remember just looking like, oh,
161
00:07:27.810 --> 00:07:29.370
that has to be it. And sometimes we were wrong.
162
00:07:29.649 --> 00:07:31.310
But it was a fun little game to play. And
163
00:07:31.730 --> 00:07:33.550
I will say that a lot of people waited till
164
00:07:33.569 --> 00:07:35.230
the end of the show to listen for that drop.
165
00:07:35.290 --> 00:07:37.610
So he really kept up the retention rate from a
166
00:07:37.629 --> 00:07:43.769
marketing perspective of the podcast. And yeah, just... Oh, man,
167
00:07:43.810 --> 00:07:44.329
it was.
168
00:07:45.459 --> 00:07:49.240
As I was saying, Andy Dix being played back to him.
169
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.610
I remember we did... Who was the host from Ninja Warrior?
170
00:07:54.990 --> 00:07:58.550
Oh, he has a very long name.
171
00:07:59.149 --> 00:08:00.019
I can't remember what it was.
172
00:08:00.089 --> 00:08:03.730
And he said his last name perfectly. And then Brian
173
00:08:03.750 --> 00:08:05.970
recorded it. So then Adam, whenever he had to say it,
174
00:08:05.970 --> 00:08:07.069
was like, oh, I think I know how to say
175
00:08:07.089 --> 00:08:08.910
your last name. And then Brian would just hit it.
176
00:08:08.939 --> 00:08:11.160
So they tag-teamed him. He's like, that was it. How'd
177
00:08:11.180 --> 00:08:13.970
you do that? But it actually was was his voice.
178
00:08:13.990 --> 00:08:16.269
And then eventually, I don't know, it just, it never
179
00:08:16.310 --> 00:08:16.649
got old.
180
00:08:17.350 --> 00:08:21.649
So, um, it's just, Chris, I think you've said it
181
00:08:21.850 --> 00:08:24.740
very well on the Corolla show, or maybe it was Dawson.
182
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:25.360
I can't remember.
183
00:08:25.379 --> 00:08:30.220
I only watched a few minutes of it because I've.
184
00:08:28.620 --> 00:08:29.360
Been really bummed out.
185
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:31.500
So I watched the first few minutes and then you
186
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:34.159
guys started to get like a little emotional and I
187
00:08:34.210 --> 00:08:36.330
turned it off, but somebody in the first five minutes
188
00:08:36.370 --> 00:08:39.419
or so said, you know, we knew this was a
189
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.460
possibility for the last 15 years, but no one thought
190
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:43.399
it was going to be Friday.
191
00:08:44.090 --> 00:08:44.350
Yeah.
192
00:08:44.419 --> 00:08:47.610
And that was very much my experience last week. You know,
193
00:08:47.669 --> 00:08:52.370
the first kind of message that indicated that like, it
194
00:08:52.409 --> 00:08:55.169
may be coming sooner than we think was posted after
195
00:08:55.230 --> 00:08:57.990
we recorded this show last week. I think it was
196
00:08:58.009 --> 00:08:59.950
the next morning. Cause I was at my parents' house
197
00:08:59.990 --> 00:09:02.169
still and I read it and the text started to
198
00:09:02.190 --> 00:09:05.470
fly amongst the Corolla inner circle. And everyone was kind
199
00:09:05.490 --> 00:09:08.279
of like, all right, you see this? Like that's, This
200
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:10.740
is looking sketchy. And then it was Brian being in
201
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:14.720
critical condition. That's the, that's the first one that it's it.
202
00:09:14.820 --> 00:09:17.519
That's when it felt like it was getting serious, like
203
00:09:17.610 --> 00:09:20.850
really serious. Cause I mean, we've, we've gotten health updates
204
00:09:20.889 --> 00:09:22.990
from him so many times over the years, even like
205
00:09:23.009 --> 00:09:26.009
Gary produced a podcast with him well after the Corolla show.
206
00:09:26.129 --> 00:09:29.230
And so, yeah. Um, the Brian and Gina show.
207
00:09:29.450 --> 00:09:33.909
That's right. So it just, just getting those constant updates
208
00:09:34.269 --> 00:09:37.789
all the time. You just forget, like, oh, wait, these
209
00:09:37.830 --> 00:09:42.049
are serious. And, yeah, when we got the one where, oh,
210
00:09:42.070 --> 00:09:44.409
he's in critical condition, that was a new one. We've
211
00:09:44.509 --> 00:09:50.509
never gotten that one before. So it definitely hit us
212
00:09:50.529 --> 00:09:55.129
a little harder to where, yeah, we were legitimately worried.
213
00:09:55.529 --> 00:10:00.460
And then Saturday morning is when the 10th. between all
214
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:04.299
of us kind of went around like, okay, it happened.
215
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.159
And it was very heavy. It was a very heavy
216
00:10:09.179 --> 00:10:14.919
weekend all around. I will take a moment to just
217
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:20.909
talk about Christy and obviously very tragic uh, what she's
218
00:10:20.950 --> 00:10:21.549
going through.
219
00:10:21.570 --> 00:10:26.009
Um, but we always knew how strong.
220
00:10:25.929 --> 00:10:28.750
She was and how, obviously how caring she was for
221
00:10:28.789 --> 00:10:33.950
Brian and just, um, and how she, she just, uh,
222
00:10:34.330 --> 00:10:37.570
just super woman, right? I mean, absolutely. You can, you
223
00:10:37.590 --> 00:10:40.549
can see it. You can read about in Brian's book. Uh,
224
00:10:40.629 --> 00:10:42.960
you can listen to Brian talk about her. You'll, I'm
225
00:10:43.009 --> 00:10:44.919
sure you'll be able to see it in Brian's upcoming
226
00:10:44.980 --> 00:10:50.629
documentary growth. And, uh, I remember texting Christy during this process, like, Hey,
227
00:10:51.289 --> 00:10:55.529
don't reply. Just let you know, I'm thinking of you. And, uh,
228
00:10:56.470 --> 00:10:59.389
and she replied back with just like the sweetest, most
229
00:10:59.450 --> 00:11:04.990
thoughtful messages every time. And I'm just like, how are you,
230
00:11:05.809 --> 00:11:08.610
how are you doing this? And then not only that,
231
00:11:08.870 --> 00:11:11.669
she would comment on everybody's posts that were paying tribute
232
00:11:11.710 --> 00:11:15.649
to Brian and thoughtfully, not just a heart and thanks.
233
00:11:15.870 --> 00:11:19.120
It was, a legitimate thank you so much. You meant
234
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:21.509
this to Brian. Remember when we did this, this, and this?
235
00:11:24.450 --> 00:11:27.529
And then Kaylin saw this. She went in our fantasy
236
00:11:27.590 --> 00:11:31.240
football chat and texted. It was kind of freaky because
237
00:11:31.259 --> 00:11:33.220
she texted from Brian's phone. She's like, hey, just heads up.
238
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:36.259
Don't get freaked out. This is not Brian. But just
239
00:11:36.299 --> 00:11:38.840
letting us know just how much the league meant to
240
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:40.759
him and if there's anything she can do.
241
00:11:41.659 --> 00:11:43.330
It was just very, very sweet.
242
00:11:44.139 --> 00:11:46.620
Christy will always have a special place in my heart
243
00:11:46.710 --> 00:11:49.970
because on one of the Corolla cruises, I was trying
244
00:11:50.009 --> 00:11:53.629
to rally everybody to go play bingo because that's what
245
00:11:53.669 --> 00:11:57.009
you do on a fucking cruise ship. And everyone was like,
246
00:11:57.169 --> 00:12:00.299
absolutely not. That sounds ridiculous. But Christy was like, I
247
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.259
am in. And I'm pretty sure it was just her, me,
248
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.720
and my wife, and maybe a couple other people came.
249
00:12:05.779 --> 00:12:07.639
But I will always remember that. I was like, that
250
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:08.320
is a fucking trooper.
251
00:12:08.340 --> 00:12:08.539
Yeah.
252
00:12:09.750 --> 00:12:11.509
Yeah, she told me about that. She was miserable.
253
00:12:11.769 --> 00:12:20.909
Yeah. Look, it's like simultaneously there's so much that has
254
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:23.899
been already said and not enough that has been said
255
00:12:24.139 --> 00:12:26.519
about Brian and me. I went on The Carolla Show
256
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:32.480
and we talked about him for 40-something minutes and just
257
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:36.399
reminiscing about the memories we had and feelings we have
258
00:12:36.470 --> 00:12:39.129
and had. And I didn't even get through like most
259
00:12:39.149 --> 00:12:41.230
of my notes or anything just because we were just,
260
00:12:41.470 --> 00:12:43.690
we were just going and it was, I was reminded
261
00:12:43.730 --> 00:12:48.309
by things from Adam and Dawson and, um, you know,
262
00:12:48.330 --> 00:12:50.690
and it's kind of weird too. I mean, I had,
263
00:12:50.710 --> 00:12:54.320
I had a couple of days to sort of sit
264
00:12:54.340 --> 00:12:56.919
with it before I went on the show. And, um,
265
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:01.100
and then I remember on the way in, I called
266
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:06.539
super fan Giovanni of all people check in on him. Cause, uh,
267
00:13:07.210 --> 00:13:09.970
you know, he's, he's a long time listener, family member
268
00:13:09.990 --> 00:13:14.470
of the Corolla show. And, uh, um, and then I
269
00:13:14.529 --> 00:13:16.549
know he was preparing a lot of stuff in Corolla classics,
270
00:13:16.929 --> 00:13:18.450
sort of paying tribute to Brian too. So I just
271
00:13:18.490 --> 00:13:20.590
wanted to make sure that he's doing that. So if
272
00:13:20.789 --> 00:13:23.250
I could talk about it on the show and, um,
273
00:13:24.169 --> 00:13:26.049
and that's when it hit me the hardest was really
274
00:13:26.190 --> 00:13:29.029
weirdly talking to him. And then you have all these
275
00:13:29.110 --> 00:13:30.629
thoughts that you have in your head. And then the
276
00:13:30.730 --> 00:13:35.950
second you start physically saying them, it, it just, it just, uh,
277
00:13:36.809 --> 00:13:38.669
It feels a lot different. And then your voice starts
278
00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:41.639
shaking and it's like, oh, it like all of a
279
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:46.980
sudden kind of makes it real. And yeah, I remember just,
280
00:13:47.179 --> 00:13:49.019
I don't even remember, to be honest, what was said
281
00:13:49.220 --> 00:13:51.200
on Adam's show that much because.
282
00:13:52.529 --> 00:13:54.940
I will say that the tribute on Adam's show between
283
00:13:54.980 --> 00:13:59.080
you and Dawson and Adam was very good. You guys
284
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:01.019
put a great light on it to the point where
285
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:03.980
it was very sad, as Gary said, starting out. But
286
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:06.370
by the end of it, going through the memories of
287
00:14:06.379 --> 00:14:09.789
his drops and replaying them, like I was actually like
288
00:14:09.830 --> 00:14:12.970
smiling and laughing, listening to it and remembering all those
289
00:14:13.009 --> 00:14:15.769
drops and all those moments and especially being there. And
290
00:14:15.990 --> 00:14:17.269
I will say by the end of it, Gary, I
291
00:14:17.289 --> 00:14:18.480
don't know if you got to it. By the end
292
00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:20.799
of it, I was like smiling and laughing at all
293
00:14:20.860 --> 00:14:21.399
those moments.
294
00:14:21.970 --> 00:14:22.389
I didn't.
295
00:14:22.529 --> 00:14:26.070
I've been kind of sitting with it the way Chris said,
296
00:14:26.289 --> 00:14:31.539
and we have plans to see a lot of each
297
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:34.419
other and a lot of the extended Corollaverse this weekend.
298
00:14:34.460 --> 00:14:36.740
So I'm kind of waiting for that. And after that,
299
00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:38.240
I think I'm going to go back and revisit it
300
00:14:38.299 --> 00:14:40.559
because I've heard the same thing from other people that
301
00:14:40.580 --> 00:14:43.700
by the end, it was a celebration much more than
302
00:14:43.740 --> 00:14:46.940
it was kind of a bummer. I accidentally clicked on
303
00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:50.179
it while I was at a friend's house and I
304
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:53.789
was a guest for for a dinner and I just
305
00:14:54.370 --> 00:14:57.269
started playing it and got, uh, as Chris said, things
306
00:14:57.389 --> 00:14:59.409
started getting shaky and I did not want to break
307
00:14:59.450 --> 00:15:01.980
down in that environment. So, uh, believe it or not,
308
00:15:02.009 --> 00:15:03.980
I turned it off and, uh, turned on the jet
309
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:07.080
blue letters from David thunder, just cause that's a guaranteed thing.
310
00:15:07.100 --> 00:15:10.220
That'll make me laugh. So, um, yeah, Dan Penny and
311
00:15:10.379 --> 00:15:12.940
his exploits, but I will go back and, uh, and
312
00:15:12.980 --> 00:15:14.860
listen to it when I'm in a better headspace and
313
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:17.340
I've had a chance to actually properly see some of
314
00:15:17.379 --> 00:15:20.019
the people that, uh, that I've been missing lately.
315
00:15:20.110 --> 00:15:20.210
So.
316
00:15:20.690 --> 00:15:25.269
Yeah. So anyway, um, and a lot of people reaching
317
00:15:25.370 --> 00:15:27.529
out to us as well. And I just want to
318
00:15:27.549 --> 00:15:31.340
say it was very, very sweet, um, and thoughtful that
319
00:15:31.379 --> 00:15:35.500
people are leaving messages, uh, for us like, and, and, um,
320
00:15:36.059 --> 00:15:38.200
and about Brian and what Brian meant to them and
321
00:15:38.220 --> 00:15:42.129
things like that. So thank you. Um, it's, it's very
322
00:15:42.169 --> 00:15:45.990
much appreciated. And it, it, uh, if anything, it, it,
323
00:15:46.210 --> 00:15:50.889
it made, um, the, the, the people just surrounding this
324
00:15:50.950 --> 00:15:54.509
show even just feel like family. Like it is very,
325
00:15:54.570 --> 00:15:55.070
very nice.
326
00:15:55.090 --> 00:15:56.730
So, um, it really was.
327
00:15:57.090 --> 00:16:00.690
Thank you. Thank you all to everybody who reached out and, uh, look,
328
00:16:01.289 --> 00:16:04.049
I mean, very, I doubt it, but there might be
329
00:16:04.090 --> 00:16:08.299
people who didn't know bald Brian who listened to the show. Um,
330
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:10.639
but yeah, I encourage you to do some research and
331
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:13.889
check it out. He wrote a really great book, um, uh,
332
00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:16.820
shrinkage and he has a movie coming out called growth.
333
00:16:17.620 --> 00:16:20.080
which Gary and I are going to go see at
334
00:16:20.139 --> 00:16:23.960
the premiere, which by the way, sold out very quickly, um,
335
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:27.840
in support. And, uh, I know Christie's going to go
336
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:30.379
there and do a Q and a, which I don't
337
00:16:30.419 --> 00:16:31.559
know how that's going to go. It's going to be
338
00:16:31.580 --> 00:16:34.639
my first time seeing her. Uh, so.
339
00:16:35.750 --> 00:16:37.519
And I will say we were asked at a certain
340
00:16:37.570 --> 00:16:39.190
point to kind of hit up some of the more
341
00:16:39.269 --> 00:16:43.070
notable Corolla show guests that we still have contacts for. And, uh,
342
00:16:43.549 --> 00:16:45.889
to a man, everyone that I hit up posted about
343
00:16:45.950 --> 00:16:49.279
it and, blew up the spot. So shout out to
344
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:51.820
everyone who helped sell that out and make it a
345
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:53.019
real celebration for Brian.
346
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:54.110
I'm really looking forward to it.
347
00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:57.419
I'm also expecting to break down halfway through the movie,
348
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:03.070
but it's going to be good to have a bunch
349
00:17:03.149 --> 00:17:06.009
of the extended people kind of all in one place
350
00:17:06.069 --> 00:17:07.250
to celebrate him properly.
351
00:17:07.269 --> 00:17:10.369
Please send love from Julie and I out here.
352
00:17:10.390 --> 00:17:10.970
Of course.
353
00:17:10.990 --> 00:17:11.170
We will.
354
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:13.859
Yeah, actually, so I always, and I think this is
355
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:16.539
the power of podcasting. I know a lot of podcasts
356
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:21.950
move to video anyway, but hearing someone's voice, just the
357
00:17:22.069 --> 00:17:27.329
power that that has on you as a human. I
358
00:17:27.369 --> 00:17:31.490
remember when my grandmother passed, right before she passed, I
359
00:17:31.670 --> 00:17:33.559
just got into podcasting. So I thought, oh, I should
360
00:17:33.630 --> 00:17:35.900
interview her. And I recorded like an audio interview of her.
361
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:39.059
And then when she did pass, I made one of
362
00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:41.299
the slideshows for her that played at her funeral. And
363
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:43.829
I overlaid it with audio of her telling her story.
364
00:17:44.380 --> 00:17:47.289
And everyone said the second that her voice hit the
365
00:17:47.309 --> 00:17:52.190
speakers in that slideshow, everyone just started breaking down. And
366
00:17:52.210 --> 00:17:53.930
I think that's what's going to happen with growth, is
367
00:17:53.950 --> 00:17:55.890
the second I hear his voice, it's just going to...
368
00:17:55.769 --> 00:18:00.190
That's what I'm afraid of, too. Yeah, that's when it's
369
00:18:00.210 --> 00:18:05.009
really going to hit. So we'll see how it goes.
370
00:18:05.210 --> 00:18:08.509
I do look forward to seeing the movie, and I'm
371
00:18:08.529 --> 00:18:11.359
glad that it's finally out. as well. Cause we all
372
00:18:11.380 --> 00:18:13.259
saw him when he was making it too. So, and
373
00:18:13.299 --> 00:18:14.819
it was a long, it was a long process.
374
00:18:15.579 --> 00:18:17.099
Um, okay.
375
00:18:17.420 --> 00:18:19.619
So as I said, a lot to be said, and
376
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:20.980
I'm sure this won't be the last time we ever
377
00:18:21.029 --> 00:18:25.430
talk about him. Um, but just, uh, yeah, once again,
378
00:18:25.450 --> 00:18:27.789
just shout out to everybody for, for just showing the
379
00:18:27.849 --> 00:18:31.309
love and the celebration of that man. I'm sure, I'm
380
00:18:31.349 --> 00:18:33.170
sure Brian loves it. We're barking about him.
381
00:18:33.289 --> 00:18:34.089
Yeah.
382
00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:40.250
Uh, so as final tribute, I thought before we get
383
00:18:40.269 --> 00:18:43.869
into comments, before we get on with the show, because
384
00:18:44.049 --> 00:18:45.569
before the show started, I asked everybody, how do you
385
00:18:45.609 --> 00:18:47.119
guys want to do this? And Matt had 30 notes
386
00:18:47.130 --> 00:18:50.410
about Fondleween. And not what it meant.
387
00:18:50.430 --> 00:18:50.930
Not what it meant.
388
00:18:51.619 --> 00:18:55.799
Matt's like, well, let me go decoration by decoration here.
389
00:18:56.500 --> 00:18:58.460
And I thought it was just going to be the
390
00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:00.599
three of us, you know? I'm looking for ways to
391
00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:03.019
build the show. That had a lot of Fondleween notes.
392
00:19:03.059 --> 00:19:06.430
This might be a four-parter. That is 100% real.
393
00:19:06.549 --> 00:19:09.069
I don't think you were here yet, but that definitely
394
00:19:09.190 --> 00:19:09.950
was a discussion.
395
00:19:09.970 --> 00:19:11.890
I believe it.
396
00:19:12.089 --> 00:19:15.309
I believe it. Well, anyway, so before we do that
397
00:19:15.390 --> 00:19:21.299
and get back to your regularly scheduled programming, among the
398
00:19:21.339 --> 00:19:25.660
many things that Bald Brian did contribute to our universe,
399
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:30.059
one being sports ball, all the Super Bowl tweets that
400
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:31.220
said things like, oh.
401
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:33.210
What games are they playing? How many home runs are
402
00:19:33.230 --> 00:19:33.670
they going to hit?
403
00:19:34.210 --> 00:19:36.150
Which still happened, and I think about it all the time.
404
00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:40.700
It might be his version of Humble Brag, which ironically
405
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:42.819
he would have Humble Bragged about if he were alive
406
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:43.240
to see that.
407
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:48.950
No, he would have just bragged about it. Number two
408
00:19:49.069 --> 00:19:49.849
is Tool Tunes.
409
00:19:51.059 --> 00:19:53.720
Love the fact that he coined Tool Tunes as well,
410
00:19:54.859 --> 00:19:59.849
which created a beloved segment that Mike Dawson used to
411
00:20:00.109 --> 00:20:05.009
start the Adam Carolla Show weeks with. And those are
412
00:20:05.049 --> 00:20:08.049
the songs that you love. They're kind of guilty pleasures,
413
00:20:08.089 --> 00:20:11.180
but The way he explained it, it's not. It's just
414
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:14.930
the kind of songs that you love listening to, but
415
00:20:14.950 --> 00:20:17.910
the second that you're at the stoplight, windows go up,
416
00:20:17.950 --> 00:20:20.029
volume goes down a little bit, because you're a little
417
00:20:20.049 --> 00:20:24.269
embarrassed about it. Which, I mean, you know, maybe Miley
418
00:20:24.289 --> 00:20:26.950
Cyrus' Party in the USA might fall in that category
419
00:20:26.970 --> 00:20:29.990
for me. Nah, windows stay down.
420
00:20:30.589 --> 00:20:31.049
And then.
421
00:20:32.630 --> 00:20:37.259
And lastly, Brian's minus 16 Rotten Tomatoes score.
422
00:20:38.099 --> 00:20:38.279
So.
423
00:20:39.940 --> 00:20:42.029
I went through my old emails and I found the
424
00:20:42.109 --> 00:20:45.549
Rotten Tomatoes game. And look, we talk about a minus
425
00:20:45.549 --> 00:20:49.349
16 Rotten Tomatoes game score, but I don't think people
426
00:20:49.430 --> 00:20:54.150
really remember just how hard and how difficult and how
427
00:20:54.269 --> 00:20:56.470
rare that actually is.
428
00:20:57.130 --> 00:21:01.089
So I don't think there was ever another minus before.
429
00:21:01.109 --> 00:21:01.730
Yeah.
430
00:21:01.890 --> 00:21:05.369
Let alone think even a single minus one, I don't
431
00:21:05.410 --> 00:21:07.190
think was ever accomplished by the end of the game,
432
00:21:07.210 --> 00:21:09.289
let alone a minus 16.
433
00:21:09.289 --> 00:21:11.950
So for those who don't know, the Rotten Tomatoes game
434
00:21:12.009 --> 00:21:14.690
is a game that was created on the Adam Carolla show.
435
00:21:15.029 --> 00:21:18.019
Probably the most competitive of all the games. All the
436
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:20.839
guys took it very seriously who played. Absolutely.
437
00:21:22.740 --> 00:21:25.019
On the rare time when I actually got to sit
438
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:27.160
in on the show, like if Brian was out or something,
439
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:29.039
then I could actually play the Rotten Tomatoes game.
440
00:21:29.420 --> 00:21:31.700
I was like, oh my God, I have to do good.
441
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:37.809
Right. It was a big deal. Um, and we, we played, uh,
442
00:21:37.849 --> 00:21:44.150
so it's, it's stroke play. So it's, it's the, it's
443
00:21:44.170 --> 00:21:47.569
the differential. So we have a Ron tomatoes critic score.
444
00:21:47.609 --> 00:21:50.109
We name a movie. Everyone guesses the critic score. And
445
00:21:50.130 --> 00:21:53.630
then we take the differential, add up the entire five
446
00:21:53.690 --> 00:21:56.910
movie differential and that your score lowest score wins.
447
00:21:56.950 --> 00:21:59.009
Brian at a minus 16 unheard of.
448
00:21:59.569 --> 00:22:02.089
And if you get it right, yeah, you get.
449
00:22:02.009 --> 00:22:03.309
It on, then it's minus five.
450
00:22:03.450 --> 00:22:03.849
That's right.
451
00:22:04.220 --> 00:22:06.200
So, I mean, gosh, there had to be a better
452
00:22:06.220 --> 00:22:07.720
way to explain that. I'm sorry if that didn't make
453
00:22:07.740 --> 00:22:10.309
sense to people, but you will find out because we're
454
00:22:10.329 --> 00:22:12.170
going to play. I have the script. I'm going to
455
00:22:12.190 --> 00:22:15.349
have Matt, Kalen, and Gary.
456
00:22:16.569 --> 00:22:18.630
And all the listeners at home as well.
457
00:22:18.950 --> 00:22:19.390
That's right.
458
00:22:19.670 --> 00:22:21.289
We're lovers of the Rotten Tomatoes game.
459
00:22:21.390 --> 00:22:24.380
I have a couple questions. Can I ask a couple questions?
460
00:22:24.430 --> 00:22:24.650
Yes.
461
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:28.559
One, these are the scores that were.
462
00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:32.920
Yes. in the original game not as they currently stand
463
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:35.859
because they might have shifted in the last decade correct
464
00:22:35.900 --> 00:22:38.480
just to be clear so don't don't for the listener
465
00:22:38.500 --> 00:22:40.359
don't look it up because it's not going to help
466
00:22:40.420 --> 00:22:43.359
you that's right um and to kaylin who i know
467
00:22:43.380 --> 00:22:44.910
wants to cheat don't look it up it's not going
468
00:22:44.930 --> 00:22:47.930
to help you yeah um and then question two i
469
00:22:47.950 --> 00:22:50.029
think we all want to know how the fuck are
470
00:22:50.049 --> 00:22:52.309
you going to keep this very complicated score uh.
471
00:22:53.390 --> 00:22:56.440
I have i have i have an excel sheet You.
472
00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:58.400
Have an Excel sheet. Is it something you created yourself?
473
00:22:58.420 --> 00:22:59.920
That's the one that you used to use.
474
00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:02.549
That's the one you used to use when you worked there, right?
475
00:23:02.789 --> 00:23:03.910
You want to go?
476
00:23:04.609 --> 00:23:05.069
It's fine.
477
00:23:05.390 --> 00:23:07.410
I'm not proud of it.
478
00:23:07.470 --> 00:23:09.849
I don't know, Chris. Let's go there.
479
00:23:09.869 --> 00:23:10.309
Let's go.
480
00:23:11.910 --> 00:23:12.269
Okay.
481
00:23:13.069 --> 00:23:17.789
So I thought about doing this three minutes before the
482
00:23:17.829 --> 00:23:20.450
show started, and I opened up my old laptop, which
483
00:23:20.470 --> 00:23:24.839
I have my emails, and I found the script for
484
00:23:25.170 --> 00:23:29.269
for this particular game, but not a charger, but not
485
00:23:29.289 --> 00:23:33.970
a charger. We restarted the show. And so right before
486
00:23:33.990 --> 00:23:37.269
the show, I, I put a prompt into, um, an
487
00:23:37.369 --> 00:23:43.809
artificial intelligence service to create a run tomatoes game scorekeeping sheet.
488
00:23:43.829 --> 00:23:45.670
Someone's really embarrassed. They use grok.
489
00:23:45.769 --> 00:23:50.309
Do you guys, the graphics they put in this are, are,
490
00:23:51.289 --> 00:23:52.690
Vivid and... Something.
491
00:23:53.089 --> 00:23:54.450
Something, yeah. Explicit.
492
00:23:54.509 --> 00:23:56.019
Especially if you use Grok, I'm sure.
493
00:23:56.390 --> 00:23:59.140
So, by the way, I'm going to pause here. Do
494
00:23:59.180 --> 00:24:03.539
you guys just ever think about how much better working
495
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:05.460
at the Corolla Show would be if we had AI
496
00:24:05.859 --> 00:24:06.359
helping us?
497
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:06.819
Because.
498
00:24:07.660 --> 00:24:08.099
I do.
499
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:10.680
Not until now, but it's a great thought.
500
00:24:10.829 --> 00:24:13.690
But not better. Because it's not right enough.
501
00:24:14.049 --> 00:24:14.970
It's not right enough.
502
00:24:15.029 --> 00:24:15.450
You're right.
503
00:24:15.750 --> 00:24:16.829
But just.
504
00:24:17.210 --> 00:24:18.990
It's wrong as often as we were.
505
00:24:19.980 --> 00:24:24.099
Yeah, you're putting another random guesser into the mix. I
506
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:25.819
don't know how helpful it would be. You have to
507
00:24:25.859 --> 00:24:26.799
verify it yourself.
508
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:28.660
But just think of all the bios, Caelan, that don't
509
00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:32.509
have Rob Schneider's age. Like, he would automatically put the age.
510
00:24:32.569 --> 00:24:33.410
Not just the age.
511
00:24:34.230 --> 00:24:34.710
Yeah, I know.
512
00:24:35.490 --> 00:24:37.849
I know, I think about it all the time.
513
00:24:37.869 --> 00:24:43.690
Taylor Sheridan was in Deuce Bigelow, too.
514
00:24:43.769 --> 00:24:46.799
All right, so I don't have the intro because I
515
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:49.609
don't want to get flagged off of any services because
516
00:24:49.670 --> 00:24:51.150
it is a bg song.
517
00:24:51.029 --> 00:24:53.089
That's that it's funny you brought that up i saw
518
00:24:53.130 --> 00:24:55.190
this online just as an aside before we get started
519
00:24:55.690 --> 00:24:59.029
it was pointed out online that you guys didn't play
520
00:24:59.170 --> 00:25:01.609
a single one of bald brian's drops you just talked
521
00:25:01.630 --> 00:25:05.539
about them yeah and the speculation was are those drops
522
00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:09.500
brian's intellectual property or and this is not my question
523
00:25:09.619 --> 00:25:12.720
this is how it was posed online or are the
524
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:15.200
corolla staffers just too lazy to get them ready.
525
00:25:16.380 --> 00:25:19.180
Okay As a non-Carolla staffer.
526
00:25:19.660 --> 00:25:21.180
Exactly. That's why I'm asking you this question.
527
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:22.480
I was hoping to hear more of those drops.
528
00:25:22.529 --> 00:25:24.769
I would not have asked this question if Dawson was here.
529
00:25:25.009 --> 00:25:25.490
I was too.
530
00:25:25.549 --> 00:25:31.049
Look, as we said, this was a last-minute thing. We
531
00:25:31.109 --> 00:25:35.289
went in first thing Sunday morning to where I didn't
532
00:25:35.329 --> 00:25:38.690
know I was going in until Saturday night, like late
533
00:25:38.730 --> 00:25:39.309
Saturday night.
534
00:25:40.349 --> 00:25:40.569
So.
535
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:43.059
It should also be.
536
00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:46.279
Pointed out, and I think I may owe an apology
537
00:25:46.299 --> 00:25:49.529
to Charles, our friend, who sent me a picture of
538
00:25:49.569 --> 00:25:52.269
Brian's rig when we set it up shortly after he passed.
539
00:25:52.349 --> 00:25:54.289
I think I might not have been in a headspace
540
00:25:54.309 --> 00:25:55.690
to be talking about it yet, so I don't know
541
00:25:55.730 --> 00:25:58.309
if I replied, but he sent me a picture. And
542
00:25:58.829 --> 00:26:02.369
the picture reminded me that much of the equipment Brian
543
00:26:02.549 --> 00:26:06.029
used could gently be considered vintage at this point.
544
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:07.859
So I don't.
545
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:11.200
Know if setting it all up and getting it ready
546
00:26:11.269 --> 00:26:14.130
to use the way Brian used it is even viable
547
00:26:14.170 --> 00:26:15.769
in the Lord's year of 2026.
548
00:26:15.769 --> 00:26:19.329
Well, the instant replay 360, which is the.
549
00:26:20.910 --> 00:26:23.829
Drop machine, I guess we'll say, it basically played back
550
00:26:23.910 --> 00:26:26.750
audio instantly, and that's where he would load the drops.
551
00:26:28.059 --> 00:26:30.640
With short keys and commands and things like that.
552
00:26:30.660 --> 00:26:36.599
That's still there, but that had mainly old drops. And
553
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:38.420
then there was a laptop that had all of the
554
00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:41.150
like drops that were past 2015.
555
00:26:41.150 --> 00:26:43.230
He had his own laptop that he would like take
556
00:26:43.289 --> 00:26:45.750
home and bring into the studio that he would like
557
00:26:45.809 --> 00:26:46.650
edit drops on.
558
00:26:46.809 --> 00:26:49.549
So it's, it was, it was a mixture of both.
559
00:26:49.630 --> 00:26:52.180
So Brian would play drops either from his laptop or
560
00:26:52.259 --> 00:26:55.839
from the 360. I think the 360 might still be there,
561
00:26:55.859 --> 00:26:58.660
but I don't, I don't think it's not a solid
562
00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:00.599
state drive. So you power that thing up and you
563
00:27:00.619 --> 00:27:05.460
hear that thing spinning inside. And, um, it has malfunctioned
564
00:27:06.029 --> 00:27:09.210
many times. Um, but look, I'm not making excuses. The
565
00:27:09.349 --> 00:27:12.210
only thing is we, we did that show last minute. They,
566
00:27:12.309 --> 00:27:17.269
when I personally, the only quote unquote producing that I
567
00:27:17.309 --> 00:27:20.490
did was I, I sent Adam his forward to Brian's
568
00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:24.259
book that he recorded, which I don't think Adam saw, uh,
569
00:27:24.299 --> 00:27:28.180
that basically laid out at Adam and Brian's history in
570
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:33.269
like a three minute little nugget. And, um, but me
571
00:27:33.309 --> 00:27:35.670
having to go like get there early to hook up
572
00:27:35.690 --> 00:27:38.730
Brian's machine. I just, I just didn't think that was
573
00:27:38.970 --> 00:27:40.170
something I was supposed.
574
00:27:39.829 --> 00:27:40.289
To do on you.
575
00:27:40.309 --> 00:27:46.299
Uh, I mean, in the Corolla email archives, I know
576
00:27:46.380 --> 00:27:51.079
that best drop was a category for the ACE awards
577
00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:51.619
every year.
578
00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:55.240
So sure. All of the best drops from every year would.
579
00:27:55.740 --> 00:27:59.480
Now would have been, you're right. Now here's the second part. I,
580
00:28:01.329 --> 00:28:06.650
I wouldn't feel right playing them. Um, I guess I'm
581
00:28:06.690 --> 00:28:10.309
torn because there was times when Brian, like when we
582
00:28:10.329 --> 00:28:12.210
would do water cooler in the studio, if we would
583
00:28:12.230 --> 00:28:15.960
have played a drop dirt, like from Brian's machine during
584
00:28:15.980 --> 00:28:18.420
the show, that would have been straight up disrespectful.
585
00:28:19.420 --> 00:28:19.619
Yeah.
586
00:28:19.660 --> 00:28:22.380
Pretty sure I did that. Yeah, I definitely did a
587
00:28:22.460 --> 00:28:22.819
couple of times.
588
00:28:23.970 --> 00:28:25.880
It just, it was, it was, that's just kind of how,
589
00:28:25.910 --> 00:28:26.519
how it was.
590
00:28:27.019 --> 00:28:30.559
The 360 machine was its like own entity. I used
591
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:32.920
to pack it up when we would do live shows.
592
00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:34.599
I would be the one that would pack it up
593
00:28:35.140 --> 00:28:38.400
into the case, take it, unpack it, set it up
594
00:28:38.500 --> 00:28:40.839
on stage, pack it back and later bring. And it
595
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:45.359
was always this like Indiana Jones style relic that was
596
00:28:45.819 --> 00:28:49.099
to be preserved over anything else that we would take
597
00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:50.140
in the Pelican case.
598
00:28:50.609 --> 00:28:53.569
It was not an ergonomic shape and probably the worst
599
00:28:53.730 --> 00:28:55.259
shaped device for travel.
600
00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:58.759
Yeah. Um, we had to cut out special like foaming
601
00:28:58.819 --> 00:29:01.059
to protect the buttons on the top of it and
602
00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:02.000
like all that stuff.
603
00:29:02.700 --> 00:29:07.059
Yeah. So it just, uh, I do feel weird playing
604
00:29:07.700 --> 00:29:10.589
at least the recorded drops that he, that he would
605
00:29:10.619 --> 00:29:14.130
grab and use them for anything. So I don't know.
606
00:29:14.430 --> 00:29:16.210
I don't know the legality of it. We'll have to
607
00:29:16.250 --> 00:29:19.289
ask Garagus next time we, we talked to him. Um,
608
00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:23.000
But that's why you didn't hear drops in the show, mainly.
609
00:29:23.019 --> 00:29:23.500
Makes sense.
610
00:29:23.940 --> 00:29:24.140
Yeah.
611
00:29:24.660 --> 00:29:28.319
I mean, I didn't ask for them. But at the
612
00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:30.720
same time, I would love to hear them. Well, let's
613
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:31.329
carry over to the.
614
00:29:31.339 --> 00:29:33.410
Let's play some games. Okay.
615
00:29:33.630 --> 00:29:36.569
So let's play some games. We're on Tomatoes game. Here
616
00:29:36.609 --> 00:29:36.970
we go.
617
00:29:37.869 --> 00:29:39.390
You like roller coasters, motherfucker?
618
00:29:39.410 --> 00:29:39.490
Yeah.
619
00:29:40.450 --> 00:29:40.859
Alright.
620
00:29:42.980 --> 00:29:44.799
I won't do a Dawson impression, but this is the
621
00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:45.500
exact script.
622
00:29:46.720 --> 00:29:48.539
And in terms of segments, before we kick it off
623
00:29:48.579 --> 00:29:52.759
real quick, the Rotten Tomatoes intro was always top notch.
624
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:54.769
It was better than pretty much anything else.
625
00:29:54.789 --> 00:29:56.589
Kalen just liked it because it was long enough for
626
00:29:56.630 --> 00:30:00.019
him to finish his drumstick before he had to start Typing.
627
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:02.240
So he's like, oh, like the second he hears that,
628
00:30:02.259 --> 00:30:05.740
he's like, oh, I can double hand this piece of chicken.
629
00:30:06.180 --> 00:30:06.440
Okay.
630
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:07.819
As we.
631
00:30:07.940 --> 00:30:08.180
Okay.
632
00:30:08.779 --> 00:30:12.309
Brought to me this game. As we arrive in the
633
00:30:12.369 --> 00:30:15.549
month of August, there's only one thing we could theme
634
00:30:15.589 --> 00:30:21.710
this game on. That's this month's namesake, the stoned pelican himself.
635
00:30:22.490 --> 00:30:25.589
These are some of the favorite and not so favorite
636
00:30:25.650 --> 00:30:30.960
films of Mike August. Um, just side note, Dawson credited
637
00:30:31.019 --> 00:30:33.460
Lynch to writing this. It was actually Dylan. I knew
638
00:30:33.579 --> 00:30:35.960
that Dylan wrote this, but I didn't want to bog
639
00:30:35.980 --> 00:30:38.579
down the show and stop everybody, but it was Dylan
640
00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:41.359
who wrote this. Cause I remember coming up with the, uh,
641
00:30:42.099 --> 00:30:43.559
the theme with him. Okay.
642
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:48.660
The first movie, the Godfather. Oh wait, dang it.
643
00:30:49.140 --> 00:30:52.069
Dylan always wrote the movie name title first in the description. Second,
644
00:30:52.089 --> 00:30:56.410
it should be, uh, it should be switched. Freaking Dylan.
645
00:30:57.069 --> 00:30:57.210
Okay.
646
00:30:57.230 --> 00:30:57.869
Oh my God.
647
00:30:59.089 --> 00:31:01.630
In classic Rotten Tomatoes fashion, by the way, I need
648
00:31:01.650 --> 00:31:04.069
to remind everybody we write our scores down. I don't
649
00:31:04.089 --> 00:31:06.390
know if you have pen or paper handy, but I
650
00:31:06.410 --> 00:31:08.990
will be writing my scores down when I lock it in.
651
00:31:09.490 --> 00:31:11.890
Just to verify that you're not cheating.
652
00:31:12.089 --> 00:31:13.509
That's right.
653
00:31:13.950 --> 00:31:15.009
They took the game seriously.
654
00:31:15.650 --> 00:31:17.069
Well, apparently so are we.
655
00:31:17.089 --> 00:31:18.589
Here's the first movie.
656
00:31:18.769 --> 00:31:19.519
I wonder what it is.
657
00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:23.339
We don't have to guess the movie, right?
658
00:31:24.819 --> 00:31:26.180
I'll reveal it at the end of the description.
659
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:27.240
Or in the middle.
660
00:31:27.420 --> 00:31:28.319
After the first one.
661
00:31:33.670 --> 00:31:35.650
This is what you get when you try to produce
662
00:31:35.690 --> 00:31:36.150
the show.
663
00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:42.900
I've been burned many times before, and I'll be burned
664
00:31:42.940 --> 00:31:47.579
many times after. Easy to start the game, but Mike
665
00:31:47.740 --> 00:31:51.920
considers this film one of his favorite of all time. Quote,
666
00:31:52.900 --> 00:32:02.309
every scene is a classic in 1972's The Godfather. And
667
00:32:02.349 --> 00:32:03.130
you guys can talk about it.
668
00:32:03.130 --> 00:32:06.210
We're supposed to write down what we think the score
669
00:32:06.329 --> 00:32:10.349
was in the year of our Lord 2012 or whatever
670
00:32:10.369 --> 00:32:11.349
the fuck this was recorded.
671
00:32:11.410 --> 00:32:11.650
Yes.
672
00:32:11.829 --> 00:32:13.289
I didn't even work there at that time.
673
00:32:13.430 --> 00:32:13.809
No, no.
674
00:32:13.869 --> 00:32:15.119
This had to have been more like 2018.
675
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:16.519
You were there when this happened.
676
00:32:16.539 --> 00:32:18.519
If Dylan worked there. If Dylan worked there.
677
00:32:18.579 --> 00:32:19.180
It was 2018, I think.
678
00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:22.900
But yeah, we write down the scores and the critics score,
679
00:32:22.940 --> 00:32:23.779
not the audience score.
680
00:32:23.819 --> 00:32:24.119
Correct?
681
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:24.900
That's right.
682
00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:25.880
The critics score.
683
00:32:25.900 --> 00:32:30.000
All right. I think I've got mine locked in.
684
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:32.799
I'm locked in. Do we all reveal before we go
685
00:32:32.819 --> 00:32:35.640
to the next movie? Yeah, you do.
686
00:32:35.779 --> 00:32:41.410
So let's go Matt, Kalen, and then Gary.
687
00:32:42.990 --> 00:32:43.210
All right.
688
00:32:43.289 --> 00:32:44.869
I'm going to go. Obviously, this is one of the
689
00:32:44.890 --> 00:32:47.450
greatest films of all time. There's always a conversation.
690
00:32:47.509 --> 00:32:49.430
Are you a Godfather 1 or a Godfather 2 kind
691
00:32:49.589 --> 00:32:50.130
of person?
692
00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:54.940
Personally, I prefer the first Godfather. I really do. But
693
00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:56.839
I know some people think the second one's even better.
694
00:32:57.039 --> 00:33:01.339
But We all love it. It's a classic.
695
00:33:01.339 --> 00:33:02.940
97%.
696
00:33:02.940 --> 00:33:05.440
Okay. Gary?
697
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:09.039
You said that Kalen was going to go next, and
698
00:33:09.059 --> 00:33:09.900
I was going to go third.
699
00:33:10.579 --> 00:33:13.930
Well, I will hold up my score to the camera
700
00:33:13.970 --> 00:33:16.730
just so that I can verify, because I, too, said 97%.
701
00:33:16.730 --> 00:33:20.890
Oh, things are getting interesting already.
702
00:33:21.369 --> 00:33:22.029
And then Kalen?
703
00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:25.759
I feel it is also necessary that I hold up
704
00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:29.940
my score because I went 96, crossed it out, and
705
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:30.299
wrote 97.
706
00:33:30.299 --> 00:33:31.019
No way! Yes.
707
00:33:35.619 --> 00:33:37.789
To be fair, you could have also crossed it out
708
00:33:37.849 --> 00:33:38.599
after we both said 96.
709
00:33:38.589 --> 00:33:39.329
Whatever.
710
00:33:40.589 --> 00:33:43.369
You can watch the video back. There's no crossing out.
711
00:33:44.089 --> 00:33:44.950
The Godfather.
712
00:33:45.049 --> 00:33:46.630
That's why I'm keeping my pen in the frame.
713
00:33:47.829 --> 00:33:55.250
I'll say the score. The Godfather. The Godfather. is certified
714
00:33:55.349 --> 00:33:56.950
fresh at 98%.
715
00:33:56.950 --> 00:33:57.069
Oh.
716
00:33:57.109 --> 00:33:58.549
All right, so.
717
00:34:00.529 --> 00:34:03.569
To be fair, we're all already losing compared.
718
00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:04.359
To what Brian is doing.
719
00:34:04.700 --> 00:34:06.400
We're already six points behind Brian.
720
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:10.960
Yeah, all right. Second movie.
721
00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:18.619
Channeling our commander-in-chief, August says of this film, quote, great,
722
00:34:18.659 --> 00:34:27.570
great characters, no weak links. In 1982's Diner. Diner from 1982.
723
00:34:27.570 --> 00:34:30.489
Have you seen this, Kalen?
724
00:34:31.150 --> 00:34:31.510
I have.
725
00:34:31.550 --> 00:34:36.750
I watched it in a movie class maybe 15 years
726
00:34:36.809 --> 00:34:37.969
ago or something like that.
727
00:34:38.309 --> 00:34:42.829
I know that the critics love this movie.
728
00:34:43.170 --> 00:34:43.929
Gary, have you seen this?
729
00:34:44.010 --> 00:34:44.349
Matt?
730
00:34:44.369 --> 00:34:45.440
How much do they love it?
731
00:34:45.449 --> 00:34:46.170
I have not seen this.
732
00:34:46.289 --> 00:34:47.969
I don't think I've seen it either. Let me check
733
00:34:48.030 --> 00:34:49.590
Matt's letterbox.
734
00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:54.349
Really quick. Oh, you son of a bitch, Matt.
735
00:34:55.889 --> 00:34:59.690
So I, this movie came out in 1982.
736
00:34:59.690 --> 00:35:02.010
So my instinct is to say 82. Okay.
737
00:35:04.610 --> 00:35:05.949
Matt says 82.
738
00:35:05.949 --> 00:35:06.329
Gary.
739
00:35:09.690 --> 00:35:11.869
I seem to think there's a lot more critical love
740
00:35:11.909 --> 00:35:14.590
for this movie than maybe there was in audience love.
741
00:35:14.969 --> 00:35:17.230
I went up into the nineties. I did not think
742
00:35:17.269 --> 00:35:19.150
it was quite as high as a godfather. So I
743
00:35:19.170 --> 00:35:20.590
have written 94.
744
00:35:20.590 --> 00:35:21.679
94.
745
00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:23.840
And then Kalen, you saw it in movie class. What'd
746
00:35:23.860 --> 00:35:24.219
you think?
747
00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:27.139
I know that the critics love this movie. So yeah,
748
00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:29.719
it's a, it's a great movie. It's definitely a classic. Um,
749
00:35:29.900 --> 00:35:32.599
it did not breach the nineties for me though.
750
00:35:32.699 --> 00:35:33.039
I went 89.
751
00:35:33.030 --> 00:35:33.110
89.
752
00:35:33.099 --> 00:35:33.300
Okay.
753
00:35:33.360 --> 00:35:35.139
Diner is certified.
754
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:36.239
Fresh at 92%. Oh, it's.
755
00:35:37.780 --> 00:35:38.360
Off by 10.
756
00:35:38.340 --> 00:35:40.480
What'd you say Gary?
757
00:35:50.429 --> 00:35:53.250
I said 94, so I'm at a three.
758
00:35:53.369 --> 00:35:54.989
Oh, you're doing good, dude.
759
00:35:55.010 --> 00:35:56.219
So we're tied. We're tied right now.
760
00:35:57.239 --> 00:35:57.619
All right.
761
00:35:57.940 --> 00:35:59.840
But everything could change in the next round.
762
00:35:59.940 --> 00:36:02.760
That's true. That's why you got to play the game.
763
00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:05.679
August.
764
00:36:07.300 --> 00:36:11.559
There's a typo in this, Dylan. I'm not. August thinks.
765
00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:13.300
The whole.
766
00:36:13.420 --> 00:36:13.599
Read it.
767
00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:14.239
Read it as it's written.
768
00:36:14.260 --> 00:36:14.429
Okay.
769
00:36:17.739 --> 00:36:24.969
August things, the whole Marvel library sucks. Quote, same stupid
770
00:36:25.030 --> 00:36:31.190
movie over and over again. This film was catalyst for
771
00:36:31.429 --> 00:36:37.489
all of his hatred. The movie is 2008's Iron Man.
772
00:36:38.710 --> 00:36:39.889
Have you seen Iron Man, Kalen?
773
00:36:41.949 --> 00:36:42.929
What kind of question is that?
774
00:36:45.690 --> 00:36:48.300
I'm just hosting. I'm trying to keep the, Keep the
775
00:36:48.340 --> 00:36:51.269
conversation going. We have listeners while they're guessing as well.
776
00:36:51.789 --> 00:36:52.269
Iron Man.
777
00:36:52.429 --> 00:36:57.170
Yes, I've seen Iron Man maybe like probably I'll say
778
00:36:57.170 --> 00:36:57.849
11 times.
779
00:36:58.269 --> 00:36:59.769
Of the 11 times, which is your favorite?
780
00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:05.760
Probably the last one because at that point the universe
781
00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:09.460
had expanded so much that I was able to take
782
00:37:09.500 --> 00:37:11.119
in the greatness of the first one after.
783
00:37:11.460 --> 00:37:12.309
Don't stop distracting me.
784
00:37:12.320 --> 00:37:12.699
I've got to think.
785
00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:15.099
Oh, I see. I'm taking it seriously.
786
00:37:15.420 --> 00:37:16.280
Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
787
00:37:16.860 --> 00:37:18.980
Caitlin's still writing his and Matt, Matt's already turned over
788
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:19.400
the score.
789
00:37:19.420 --> 00:37:20.280
You're going to influence.
790
00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:20.659
Okay.
791
00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:21.179
Yeah, that's right.
792
00:37:21.219 --> 00:37:22.780
You can't go before they finish.
793
00:37:23.079 --> 00:37:24.699
You gotta, you gotta lock it in. Matt, what do
794
00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:25.659
you think of iron man?
795
00:37:26.929 --> 00:37:27.989
I think it's a great movie.
796
00:37:28.510 --> 00:37:32.369
I really enjoyed seeing it. I, uh, was not happy
797
00:37:32.409 --> 00:37:35.929
with the ultimate trajection of the Marvel project, but.
798
00:37:35.789 --> 00:37:36.809
Projection, huh?
799
00:37:37.590 --> 00:37:39.030
Projections on the right word.
800
00:37:39.570 --> 00:37:41.730
I thought you said trajectory trajectory.
801
00:37:41.880 --> 00:37:42.449
That's what I meant.
802
00:37:42.739 --> 00:37:43.019
Yeah.
803
00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:45.940
Look, either way, it's been going downhill for quite a
804
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:50.239
while now. Hopefully, X-Men saves it. Obviously, Spider-Man's the exception.
805
00:37:51.099 --> 00:37:53.199
Yeah, I mean, not as good as The Invite, which
806
00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:54.829
Matt gave four stars on Letterboxd.
807
00:37:54.849 --> 00:37:55.829
It's an excellent movie.
808
00:37:57.230 --> 00:37:59.949
But it had to have been better than Deathstalker. Are
809
00:37:59.969 --> 00:38:00.829
we locked in, Kaelin?
810
00:38:01.090 --> 00:38:01.519
I'm locked in.
811
00:38:01.670 --> 00:38:03.929
Okay, we're locked in. Please, Matt, go for it.
812
00:38:05.110 --> 00:38:06.320
I'm going to go with 93.
813
00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:06.639
93. Okay.
814
00:38:06.659 --> 00:38:06.800
Gary?
815
00:38:13.789 --> 00:38:17.230
I think that this is perhaps the best standalone Marvel movie.
816
00:38:17.650 --> 00:38:20.210
And I say that as like one with only one
817
00:38:20.269 --> 00:38:24.590
singular Marvel character in it. You know, obviously there's eventually
818
00:38:24.630 --> 00:38:28.050
the villain, but it's focused on one character. However, I
819
00:38:28.510 --> 00:38:31.030
do think the critics probably gave this a little shit
820
00:38:31.110 --> 00:38:34.170
because they want, you know, a little less CGI and a.
821
00:38:34.150 --> 00:38:35.050
Little less whatever.
822
00:38:35.070 --> 00:38:37.889
I love this movie. My personal score would be higher.
823
00:38:37.909 --> 00:38:41.039
I put that the critics gave it a 90.
824
00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:42.539
Ooh, that's still really high.
825
00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:43.480
That feels right.
826
00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:46.440
All right, Kalen.
827
00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:48.059
I should have gone higher.
828
00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:52.059
I think on initial release, the critics might have gone
829
00:38:52.139 --> 00:38:55.019
lower on it because it's a superhero movie.
830
00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:58.500
When did it come out?
831
00:38:58.500 --> 00:38:58.599
2008.
832
00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:00.880
Again, 10 years later when this game was probably played,
833
00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:04.579
the critics score and all the Marvel movies afterwards came out.
834
00:39:04.619 --> 00:39:06.519
It probably bumped it up a little bit by that point.
835
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:09.539
I was kind of thinking when it initially came out,
836
00:39:09.659 --> 00:39:13.960
I wrote 79 70.
837
00:39:14.289 --> 00:39:14.829
Chris, I'm sorry.
838
00:39:14.849 --> 00:39:17.869
Before we reveal the answer, do we know what August
839
00:39:17.969 --> 00:39:22.869
this was played in? Uh, guessing late 20.
840
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:24.050
2018, August, 2018.
841
00:39:24.050 --> 00:39:24.190
Okay.
842
00:39:24.530 --> 00:39:24.849
Wow.
843
00:39:25.289 --> 00:39:25.789
I guessed right.
844
00:39:25.829 --> 00:39:27.469
Yeah, I should have gone home. I was going to
845
00:39:27.489 --> 00:39:27.639
do 82.
846
00:39:27.630 --> 00:39:36.050
Um, 82 Iron Man Is certified fresh At 94% I'm
847
00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:38.920
done I'm.
848
00:39:37.929 --> 00:39:44.199
Back in the game I'm fucking done Let's see two.
849
00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:47.159
More Gary still got the lead here though.
850
00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:49.960
Not by much Next movie.
851
00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:54.820
The year before the Marvel Universe kicked off with Iron Man,
852
00:39:55.659 --> 00:39:59.579
a film was released that August thinks it was so good,
853
00:40:00.219 --> 00:40:08.219
even Woody Harrelson couldn't ruin it. In 2007, No Country
854
00:40:09.199 --> 00:40:16.800
for Old Men. I mean, all-timer. Kalen sounds like he's
855
00:40:16.820 --> 00:40:19.400
writing three digits if I can hear the pen to
856
00:40:19.420 --> 00:40:19.800
his paper.
857
00:40:20.219 --> 00:40:23.679
I can't take personal into this. I need to think
858
00:40:23.719 --> 00:40:24.380
about the critics.
859
00:40:25.900 --> 00:40:27.219
Um, this is a five star.
860
00:40:27.300 --> 00:40:29.460
I need to nail it. I need to nail this debt.
861
00:40:29.539 --> 00:40:30.889
It will be when I rewatch it.
862
00:40:31.119 --> 00:40:31.360
Yeah.
863
00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:32.340
I'm going to go.
864
00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:32.429
God.
865
00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:34.559
Yeah.
866
00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:35.800
I need this deduction right now.
867
00:40:35.820 --> 00:40:37.449
Okay.
868
00:40:38.730 --> 00:40:39.730
All right, Matt.
869
00:40:40.469 --> 00:40:41.449
Hold on. He's not locked.
870
00:40:41.510 --> 00:40:41.690
Yeah.
871
00:40:41.829 --> 00:40:42.130
I'm locked.
872
00:40:42.570 --> 00:40:44.550
Caleb's locked. All right.
873
00:40:45.170 --> 00:40:48.570
This is, as Chris said, it's essentially, it's a five
874
00:40:48.610 --> 00:40:51.159
star movie. I haven't rewatched it, so I have not
875
00:40:51.260 --> 00:40:54.039
logged it on my Letterboxd. I'm not going back and
876
00:40:54.059 --> 00:40:56.039
just logging every movie. I have to watch the movie
877
00:40:56.139 --> 00:40:58.340
since I've been doing the list. That's why I do that.
878
00:40:58.820 --> 00:40:59.860
I like that he has a code.
879
00:41:00.500 --> 00:41:01.039
It's a code.
880
00:41:01.659 --> 00:41:03.400
It's like Kalen not accepting coins.
881
00:41:04.139 --> 00:41:05.480
Anyway, No Country for Old Men.
882
00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:09.610
I am once again going to guess 97.
883
00:41:09.610 --> 00:41:11.469
And this time, I'm going to be nuts on.
884
00:41:12.630 --> 00:41:14.170
Oh, nuts on. He's calling it.
885
00:41:14.690 --> 00:41:16.469
I feel I just got to show mine before I
886
00:41:16.489 --> 00:41:18.150
can be alleged or accused of anything else.
887
00:41:18.150 --> 00:41:21.800
97. You guys are just 97.
888
00:41:21.789 --> 00:41:23.590
You're bonded by 97s.
889
00:41:23.989 --> 00:41:25.869
I guess I'm playing a little bit of the low
890
00:41:25.909 --> 00:41:29.420
game here. I went 93, crossed it out, went 94.
891
00:41:29.420 --> 00:41:30.599
Okay.
892
00:41:33.980 --> 00:41:38.480
No country for old men is certified fresh.
893
00:41:39.659 --> 00:41:40.440
Come on, baby.
894
00:41:40.519 --> 00:41:42.500
Come on.
895
00:41:42.519 --> 00:41:43.519
At 93%, Kalen.
896
00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:50.889
I guess I should say one certified freshman. I needed it.
897
00:41:51.010 --> 00:41:52.489
I needed it. I needed it.
898
00:41:52.530 --> 00:41:53.289
Kalen, you had that.
899
00:41:53.309 --> 00:41:53.449
Fuck.
900
00:41:53.789 --> 00:41:56.050
You had that. God damn it.
901
00:41:56.730 --> 00:41:58.650
It was because I went low on Iron Man that
902
00:41:58.690 --> 00:42:01.050
it fucked my head up with No Country, and I
903
00:42:01.090 --> 00:42:02.230
had to... Damn it.
904
00:42:02.570 --> 00:42:03.570
All right, our fifth film.
905
00:42:04.250 --> 00:42:08.679
Continuing with his disdain for the Marvel Universe... Mike August,
906
00:42:08.840 --> 00:42:16.090
in particular, hates this sequel to Thor. The film is
907
00:42:16.250 --> 00:42:21.070
2013's Tho, The Dark World.
908
00:42:23.659 --> 00:42:26.039
That was the second one, Thor 2? Yeah.
909
00:42:26.760 --> 00:42:29.119
Thor 2, The Dark World.
910
00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:32.489
They had a perfect opportunity to just say... Thor, but
911
00:42:32.530 --> 00:42:35.090
make the T a two like they always do.
912
00:42:35.630 --> 00:42:38.630
Oh, that would work. Maybe there's a movie poster that
913
00:42:38.670 --> 00:42:38.949
did it.
914
00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:42.980
R is not a substitute. Two is not a substitute
915
00:42:43.019 --> 00:42:43.190
for R.
916
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:47.110
That's not for the T for the T just graph
917
00:42:47.139 --> 00:42:48.050
for the graphic.
918
00:42:48.340 --> 00:42:50.050
Still, but two is not a sub.
919
00:42:50.070 --> 00:42:53.090
If you saw the number two, you put like a three.
920
00:42:52.690 --> 00:42:54.559
In place of an E like, yeah, I get it.
921
00:42:54.610 --> 00:42:56.650
But that doesn't make any sense.
922
00:42:56.889 --> 00:42:58.849
I did not come up with this. It is in
923
00:42:59.190 --> 00:43:02.969
a million marketing campaigns. Don't even get me started.
924
00:43:03.190 --> 00:43:04.809
What about two Thor, two serious?
925
00:43:06.170 --> 00:43:09.389
Thank you. All right.
926
00:43:09.489 --> 00:43:09.809
All right.
927
00:43:10.070 --> 00:43:10.750
Let me see here.
928
00:43:10.829 --> 00:43:12.110
What, what year was this movie again?
929
00:43:12.820 --> 00:43:18.050
From 2013, starring Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman.
930
00:43:18.469 --> 00:43:19.190
Natalie Portman.
931
00:43:19.230 --> 00:43:19.750
I'm locked in.
932
00:43:20.130 --> 00:43:21.849
I'm locked in. Okay.
933
00:43:22.090 --> 00:43:25.989
This, I know, is not loved. It's not just Mike August.
934
00:43:26.030 --> 00:43:30.280
This is one of the lower-rated Thor movies. I kind
935
00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:33.579
of just blacked out, and then Ghost wrote a number,
936
00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:35.380
and I looked at it, and it said 43.
937
00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:36.900
And that feels right.
938
00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:37.159
Wow.
939
00:43:39.690 --> 00:43:41.300
Yeah, I mean, it was definitely not one of the
940
00:43:41.610 --> 00:43:43.920
more loved Thor movies. I remember they did a lot
941
00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:45.460
of tone changes with this franchise.
942
00:43:45.579 --> 00:43:48.800
Matt, you're forgetting how the game was played. I mean,
943
00:43:48.840 --> 00:43:51.150
we were all there for decades. You're kind of holding
944
00:43:51.269 --> 00:43:53.550
on to maybe a lead or a tie right now.
945
00:43:54.110 --> 00:43:56.809
You went a little bit extreme on this one. I
946
00:43:56.829 --> 00:43:58.409
feel like you should have held on. I think you
947
00:43:58.429 --> 00:44:00.719
should have played it a little bit closer to the best. Okay.
948
00:44:01.969 --> 00:44:02.449
All right, Gary.
949
00:44:02.469 --> 00:44:04.170
It's making me feel like shit about my bed.
950
00:44:04.289 --> 00:44:07.760
All right, I think this is not a good movie,
951
00:44:08.039 --> 00:44:12.519
but this was still in the heyday of the Marvel Universe.
952
00:44:12.539 --> 00:44:15.030
It was still strong. It had not started to fall
953
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:19.429
off yet. I think I'm probably a little high, but
954
00:44:19.690 --> 00:44:21.389
I think I'm probably closer than Matt.
955
00:44:21.570 --> 00:44:21.889
I said.
956
00:44:21.889 --> 00:44:22.750
88.
957
00:44:22.750 --> 00:44:23.599
88?
958
00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:25.360
You blew it, bro.
959
00:44:25.550 --> 00:44:26.869
You had it and you blew it.
960
00:44:27.250 --> 00:44:28.929
I might be back in this, fellas. I might be
961
00:44:28.949 --> 00:44:33.130
back in this. Pretty much the same sentiment that Gary said.
962
00:44:33.309 --> 00:44:36.130
Still in the Marvel Universe. Not good, but it got
963
00:44:36.170 --> 00:44:36.849
a little love there.
964
00:44:36.929 --> 00:44:39.670
I went 74. Come on, baby.
965
00:44:39.809 --> 00:44:42.539
Bring me that win. Bring me that win.
966
00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:46.500
Do we have a tiebreaker that we can play also
967
00:44:46.579 --> 00:44:47.280
just for funsies?
968
00:44:47.340 --> 00:44:47.440
No.
969
00:44:48.329 --> 00:44:50.469
Dylan did not provide a tiebreaker.
970
00:44:50.489 --> 00:44:52.389
Come on. You always got it.
971
00:44:54.510 --> 00:44:54.889
Okay.
972
00:44:55.449 --> 00:44:59.289
Thor, the Dark World, is fresh.
973
00:45:00.289 --> 00:45:00.389
Ugh.
974
00:45:01.670 --> 00:45:03.849
At 66%.
975
00:45:03.849 --> 00:45:04.849
Oh, fuck.
976
00:45:05.889 --> 00:45:06.670
Oh, shit.
977
00:45:06.909 --> 00:45:08.269
I think Cailin may have just taken it.
978
00:45:08.289 --> 00:45:11.469
No, I was too low on fucking Iron Man.
979
00:45:11.510 --> 00:45:13.409
So, if we tallied up the scores.
980
00:45:14.289 --> 00:45:15.809
Yeah, someone else doing that, because I don't even know
981
00:45:15.829 --> 00:45:16.730
how to do the math on that.
982
00:45:16.829 --> 00:45:17.199
I have it.
983
00:45:17.210 --> 00:45:18.510
The computer's doing it.
984
00:45:18.550 --> 00:45:19.769
I have it. I have it.
985
00:45:19.829 --> 00:45:22.989
Have you asked Claude, is this verifiably true?
986
00:45:23.030 --> 00:45:24.590
Jarvis is doing it for us.
987
00:45:25.300 --> 00:45:29.400
I can ask Claude? Okay.
988
00:45:31.579 --> 00:45:36.039
In third place, with a score of 39. That's a
989
00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:37.750
third place score. Not a bad third place score.
990
00:45:38.269 --> 00:45:43.070
Not bad. I've seen some higher ones. Matt Fondolier.
991
00:45:43.070 --> 00:45:45.070
39.
992
00:45:45.070 --> 00:45:47.550
Thank God, not last.
993
00:45:47.670 --> 00:45:49.210
There's that last one that got you.
994
00:45:49.630 --> 00:45:50.710
Thank God, not last.
995
00:45:52.909 --> 00:45:57.909
And there is only a five-point differential between first and
996
00:45:57.969 --> 00:46:03.929
second place and a six-point differential between second and third.
997
00:46:03.989 --> 00:46:06.880
So it's very tight. You guys are all right in there.
998
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:11.199
But I'll just announce the winner because he deserves to
999
00:46:11.239 --> 00:46:15.000
have his name said. in first place with a score
1000
00:46:15.019 --> 00:46:22.579
of 28, Kalen Bean. Wow. That's right. Gary had 33.
1001
00:46:22.579 --> 00:46:25.989
It was the last round that did it. Gary, um,
1002
00:46:26.469 --> 00:46:31.130
got a 22 extra point point bump there while Kalen
1003
00:46:31.170 --> 00:46:34.590
only had eight. So boom.
1004
00:46:34.710 --> 00:46:36.050
Congratulations, Kalen.
1005
00:46:36.250 --> 00:46:39.460
Thank you. Um, I'm very glad. It's a good win.
1006
00:46:39.519 --> 00:46:41.510
It's a good win. I feel great. Yeah, I mean.
1007
00:46:41.690 --> 00:46:42.389
You didn't even need them.
1008
00:46:42.449 --> 00:46:44.929
Again, I thought I was even going to be higher
1009
00:46:44.969 --> 00:46:47.469
than that and the fact that. I'm going up against
1010
00:46:47.489 --> 00:46:49.969
a minus 16 right now is just, and I would
1011
00:46:50.050 --> 00:46:52.769
also like to point out that after Brian got the
1012
00:46:52.829 --> 00:46:59.449
minus 16, he created his own fridge magnet commemorating his score,
1013
00:46:59.510 --> 00:47:03.110
like a custom fridge magnet that he stuck on the
1014
00:47:03.190 --> 00:47:06.280
Corolla fridge and it lived there. I feel as long
1015
00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:09.019
as I fucking work there, you would always see ball. Yeah.
1016
00:47:09.820 --> 00:47:10.280
Is it still there?
1017
00:47:10.300 --> 00:47:12.099
It's still there. They brought it up on the show.
1018
00:47:12.139 --> 00:47:13.079
They brought it into the studio.
1019
00:47:13.099 --> 00:47:14.280
They brought it into the studio.
1020
00:47:14.440 --> 00:47:16.420
Adam had someone grab it and run it in the
1021
00:47:16.460 --> 00:47:19.679
studio in the middle of the show. I will say
1022
00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:21.880
that was made by a fan. That was not Brian
1023
00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:23.739
who went to the magnet store.
1024
00:47:24.639 --> 00:47:25.780
I wouldn't put it past him.
1025
00:47:25.860 --> 00:47:27.320
I wouldn't put it past him.
1026
00:47:29.659 --> 00:47:31.659
He did bring it in and stick it on the fridge.
1027
00:47:32.260 --> 00:47:34.469
As long as we're telling magnet stories, I will say
1028
00:47:34.510 --> 00:47:37.570
that I still distinctly remember when Adam had the piano
1029
00:47:37.630 --> 00:47:40.420
tuner magnet made. And I think that was also made
1030
00:47:40.460 --> 00:47:43.440
by a fan, but it came in. And Brian once
1031
00:47:43.500 --> 00:47:46.489
said on the show that while we were playing in
1032
00:47:46.510 --> 00:47:49.969
the Corolla Fantasy League that year, that whoever lost and
1033
00:47:50.010 --> 00:47:52.230
came in last place that week in fantasy, they were
1034
00:47:52.250 --> 00:47:54.269
going to have to put that magnet on the car.
1035
00:47:55.050 --> 00:47:57.670
And he said it live on the show. And I
1036
00:47:57.710 --> 00:48:00.429
think in his mind, that meant it was law. And
1037
00:48:01.010 --> 00:48:03.130
that first week I was in last place and Brian
1038
00:48:03.170 --> 00:48:06.750
grabbed that magnet towards my car and I fucking flipped
1039
00:48:06.869 --> 00:48:11.030
out on him. Was he putting it anywhere near my
1040
00:48:11.090 --> 00:48:15.190
goddamn car? And Brian was very confused at that reaction.
1041
00:48:15.829 --> 00:48:18.489
And I've been thinking about that a lot this week.
1042
00:48:19.750 --> 00:48:20.110
Yeah.
1043
00:48:20.730 --> 00:48:22.769
The same magnet stories for days.
1044
00:48:22.789 --> 00:48:26.670
Look, All right, so we're going to do a Patreon
1045
00:48:26.710 --> 00:48:30.190
episode later this week, and we'll jump in a fondle ween, Matt,
1046
00:48:31.030 --> 00:48:32.389
for Patreon, if that's all right with you.
1047
00:48:32.889 --> 00:48:33.139
Sure.
1048
00:48:34.050 --> 00:48:35.239
And amongst other things.
1049
00:48:35.380 --> 00:48:39.739
We got stuff to get into, but just once again,
1050
00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:43.260
I just want to say, you know, just give everybody
1051
00:48:43.320 --> 00:48:47.780
here and everybody listening just a hug from afar.
1052
00:48:48.960 --> 00:48:52.139
It's been a heavy weekend, but my.
1053
00:48:52.730 --> 00:48:55.300
Favorite thing about all of this is that we got
1054
00:48:55.320 --> 00:48:57.559
to laugh a lot just thinking about the old times.
1055
00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:00.239
I just wanted to say that being with you guys
1056
00:49:00.300 --> 00:49:03.980
and just sharing the memories again has brought a lot
1057
00:49:04.019 --> 00:49:05.619
of joy to what's happened.
1058
00:49:05.639 --> 00:49:07.539
Yeah, I mean.
1059
00:49:08.550 --> 00:49:08.820
Me too.
1060
00:49:08.860 --> 00:49:10.130
I've been looking forward to this all week.
1061
00:49:10.190 --> 00:49:11.590
I'm glad that we were able to do this.
1062
00:49:12.090 --> 00:49:17.530
Yeah. And Christy definitely wants to do some sort of
1063
00:49:17.889 --> 00:49:22.869
Corolla family meetup. as well so um i assured her
1064
00:49:22.889 --> 00:49:26.139
that we will and um yeah i mean this is
1065
00:49:26.340 --> 00:49:29.280
a you know this is a a blow to uh
1066
00:49:29.480 --> 00:49:33.420
to the fam but um but you know all the
1067
00:49:33.460 --> 00:49:36.099
listeners out there who've been listening to the show to
1068
00:49:36.119 --> 00:49:37.980
the coral show for years all the years that they
1069
00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:40.980
did um you know, they have every right to feel
1070
00:49:41.579 --> 00:49:45.550
as close and as, as bummed about all of this because, um, yeah,
1071
00:49:45.619 --> 00:49:49.030
you were with us the whole time too. So, um, yeah,
1072
00:49:49.230 --> 00:49:53.530
big hugs from us. Um, and, and we appreciate you. Uh,
1073
00:49:53.550 --> 00:49:56.449
all right. So we'll get patron started in just a moment.
1074
00:49:56.489 --> 00:49:58.519
I'll go around the horn, get our plugs in. I'll
1075
00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:02.440
start off with Gary. Gary, is there something you want to, uh,
1076
00:50:02.619 --> 00:50:03.760
give a shout out to?
1077
00:50:04.079 --> 00:50:04.340
Yeah.
1078
00:50:04.619 --> 00:50:08.449
Uh, Watch for screenings of the new documentary growth that
1079
00:50:08.489 --> 00:50:10.630
will be coming to your town. The, the one that's
1080
00:50:10.949 --> 00:50:13.750
happening this weekend in Los Angeles is thankfully sold out.
1081
00:50:15.110 --> 00:50:17.230
We're all going to be there to celebrate him, but
1082
00:50:17.250 --> 00:50:19.510
there will be other screenings coming around town. And then
1083
00:50:19.550 --> 00:50:21.570
eventually I would hope that it will get a wide
1084
00:50:21.590 --> 00:50:23.750
release or at least be available to buy or rent
1085
00:50:23.829 --> 00:50:27.590
on digital. And I encourage everyone to, you know, find
1086
00:50:27.630 --> 00:50:29.929
a dark room and rent that thing and watch it.
1087
00:50:30.010 --> 00:50:32.050
I'm sure it's going to make me choked up as
1088
00:50:32.090 --> 00:50:34.250
Chris said earlier. And I'm very happy that I'll be
1089
00:50:34.269 --> 00:50:36.489
in a dark theater for that when that happens. But
1090
00:50:36.590 --> 00:50:39.570
I'm looking forward to seeing the movie and supporting the
1091
00:50:39.690 --> 00:50:43.409
Bishop family and just keep sending the love to, to
1092
00:50:44.030 --> 00:50:47.340
Christie and all those Brian left behind. It was, he
1093
00:50:47.380 --> 00:50:49.619
was loved by many, both in the audience and he
1094
00:50:49.659 --> 00:50:52.099
had a very strong family all around him who are,
1095
00:50:52.179 --> 00:50:54.300
I'm sure hurting way more than any of us could be.
1096
00:50:54.400 --> 00:50:57.099
So keep sending that love and thank you guys all for,
1097
00:50:57.610 --> 00:50:59.559
All the support and all the people who reached out
1098
00:50:59.579 --> 00:51:03.280
to us directly, as Chris said earlier. You know, I
1099
00:51:03.300 --> 00:51:06.139
learned this week that now if you email my old
1100
00:51:06.380 --> 00:51:10.239
Corolla email, it gives you my personal Gmail. So I've
1101
00:51:11.360 --> 00:51:14.260
had a few people reach out to me that I
1102
00:51:14.300 --> 00:51:17.900
was not necessarily expecting. So thanks to whoever changed that.
1103
00:51:21.889 --> 00:51:24.469
but no, no, I have every single message I've gotten.
1104
00:51:24.570 --> 00:51:26.769
I have appreciated it and I have tried to reply
1105
00:51:26.789 --> 00:51:29.389
to people. So thank you guys all for reaching out.
1106
00:51:29.809 --> 00:51:32.489
I thought that was funny though. So, um, yeah, just
1107
00:51:32.510 --> 00:51:34.869
send love to the bishops and the, uh, the extended
1108
00:51:34.909 --> 00:51:35.469
Bishop clan.
1109
00:51:35.869 --> 00:51:38.150
Couldn't agree more. All right, Matt, what about you?
1110
00:51:38.809 --> 00:51:42.050
Yeah, just honestly, Gary, my personal Gmail.
1111
00:51:45.219 --> 00:51:47.300
Uh, I mean, Gary, you said it beautifully. I just
1112
00:51:47.320 --> 00:51:49.679
feel like, I echo everything that you're saying. It feels
1113
00:51:49.739 --> 00:51:52.340
weird to also plug our Patreon during this.
1114
00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:53.739
So I'm not going to do that.
1115
00:51:53.760 --> 00:51:58.869
You know, someone had to do it, Matt. The people
1116
00:51:58.889 --> 00:51:59.969
need their fondling.
1117
00:52:00.050 --> 00:52:00.429
Yeah.
1118
00:52:00.469 --> 00:52:04.230
Yeah. Anyway.
1119
00:52:04.250 --> 00:52:06.530
Yeah. Just, I'll just take the time to say thank
1120
00:52:06.550 --> 00:52:09.010
you to the whole community of everybody at this is
1121
00:52:09.130 --> 00:52:11.769
like you said, it's a time for, it's a sad time,
1122
00:52:11.809 --> 00:52:14.750
but it also like, it's great to bring everybody together
1123
00:52:14.769 --> 00:52:16.110
in a way and to kind of share all these
1124
00:52:16.170 --> 00:52:19.480
memories and, Part of that is you guys here on
1125
00:52:19.519 --> 00:52:22.929
this show, and part of it are the people within
1126
00:52:22.989 --> 00:52:26.150
the outer community that listened to our show and listened
1127
00:52:26.170 --> 00:52:29.289
to Carolla's show and created that whole community. So I
1128
00:52:29.909 --> 00:52:33.030
want everyone to plug themselves. That's what I'm trying to say.
1129
00:52:33.050 --> 00:52:34.489
Love it.
1130
00:52:35.110 --> 00:52:36.530
And Kalen, what about you?
1131
00:52:37.780 --> 00:52:40.380
Uh, Patreon movie club this week, uh, speed. No, I'm
1132
00:52:40.400 --> 00:52:40.679
just kidding.
1133
00:52:41.340 --> 00:52:43.320
Um, no, go back and listen to some old Adam
1134
00:52:43.340 --> 00:52:46.329
Carolla show episodes, you know, I mean, at least from
1135
00:52:46.389 --> 00:52:48.710
when I was there and before we're talking to 2010s, um,
1136
00:52:49.809 --> 00:52:52.070
there's obviously a lot of them, but you can always, uh,
1137
00:52:52.849 --> 00:52:55.429
go quickly to the ACE awards that had the best drops.
1138
00:52:55.449 --> 00:52:59.369
Those always came out and from December. So you can
1139
00:52:59.409 --> 00:53:04.090
kind of easily find those ones. Uh, and Giovanni, you know, does, um,
1140
00:53:04.719 --> 00:53:06.280
You know, good work with the Crow Classics there.
1141
00:53:06.300 --> 00:53:09.320
But yeah, just go back and re-listen to some old episodes.
1142
00:53:09.639 --> 00:53:12.300
Get some good drops. Get some more bold in your life.
1143
00:53:13.719 --> 00:53:17.539
I agree. Yeah, so check out Brian's book, Shrinkage. Check
1144
00:53:17.579 --> 00:53:20.929
out Growth. Check out Christy's podcast that she did, What
1145
00:53:20.989 --> 00:53:23.170
Nobody Tells Us. I mean, she did that in the
1146
00:53:23.269 --> 00:53:27.909
midst of being Brian's caregiver and did a lot of
1147
00:53:28.010 --> 00:53:29.030
really wonderful interviews.
1148
00:53:29.449 --> 00:53:32.730
She had her own wonderful segment on Shrinkage. The show.
1149
00:53:32.769 --> 00:53:33.650
Commercial grade.
1150
00:53:33.710 --> 00:53:33.869
Yeah.
1151
00:53:33.909 --> 00:53:34.730
Commercial grade.
1152
00:53:34.769 --> 00:53:35.090
Yeah.
1153
00:53:35.150 --> 00:53:36.650
That's yeah. She used to come and do that all
1154
00:53:36.670 --> 00:53:37.349
the time.
1155
00:53:37.469 --> 00:53:38.269
Um, yeah.
1156
00:53:38.469 --> 00:53:41.469
So just, uh, if you want to shout, uh, Christie out,
1157
00:53:41.489 --> 00:53:43.889
you can follow her on Instagram at pardon my crumbs.
1158
00:53:44.150 --> 00:53:44.550
That's right.
1159
00:53:45.269 --> 00:53:50.349
And, and yeah, just, I was talking to Jen about like,
1160
00:53:50.510 --> 00:53:51.599
there has to be more than we could do.
1161
00:53:51.610 --> 00:53:52.380
There's more we could do.
1162
00:53:52.570 --> 00:53:57.019
And what she, she basically said, look, and I'm talking
1163
00:53:57.039 --> 00:54:01.769
about my wife, Jen is, um, she said it's, look,
1164
00:54:01.789 --> 00:54:03.250
she's going to get a lot of support now, but
1165
00:54:03.630 --> 00:54:05.429
also let's be the ones that are there for her
1166
00:54:05.789 --> 00:54:07.489
three months from now, six months from now, nine months
1167
00:54:07.510 --> 00:54:09.110
from now, just reaching out and just checking in on
1168
00:54:09.139 --> 00:54:12.559
her because that's, that's when it's going to really, really
1169
00:54:12.619 --> 00:54:16.260
mean a lot too. So, because I mean, unfortunately, as
1170
00:54:16.280 --> 00:54:20.400
all this stuff happens, you get, you get bombarded, not bombarded,
1171
00:54:20.440 --> 00:54:23.250
but you get a lot of outpouring support right at
1172
00:54:23.269 --> 00:54:24.929
the beginning and then it starts to fade away, but
1173
00:54:24.949 --> 00:54:27.230
let's not let that be us. Like let's, let's check
1174
00:54:27.289 --> 00:54:30.090
in on her and the bishops a lot more often
1175
00:54:30.130 --> 00:54:35.519
because I mean, This is going to be a tough one. So, yeah.
1176
00:54:35.559 --> 00:54:38.300
Pardon my crumbs is her IG.
1177
00:54:38.840 --> 00:54:39.159
All right.
1178
00:54:39.679 --> 00:54:41.280
Well, that will do it for this episode of Water Cooler.
1179
00:54:41.300 --> 00:54:43.090
Thanks again to everybody for hanging out with us. Thank
1180
00:54:43.130 --> 00:54:45.230
you for listening. Thank you for supporting us. We'll be
1181
00:54:45.250 --> 00:54:48.150
back with Patreon later this week. As Kalen almost said,
1182
00:54:48.210 --> 00:54:52.869
watch Speed for Movie Club. I'm on Letterboxd and Matt
1183
00:54:53.210 --> 00:54:56.530
has not put up a score yet. And I'm very
1184
00:54:56.550 --> 00:54:57.099
upset about it.
1185
00:54:57.349 --> 00:54:57.489
So.
1186
00:54:58.030 --> 00:55:00.590
Although I pretty much know what it's going to be
1187
00:55:00.610 --> 00:55:01.489
or at least what it should be.
1188
00:55:01.510 --> 00:55:02.110
All right.
1189
00:55:02.139 --> 00:55:04.719
We'll see you later. We'll see you later this week.
1190
00:55:04.739 --> 00:55:05.639
We love you.
1191
00:55:05.920 --> 00:55:06.219
Goodbye.
1
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:16.039
Hey, it's Water Cooler. Thank you so much for hanging
2
00:00:16.100 --> 00:00:18.699
out with us this week. We appreciate it. You know
3
00:00:18.730 --> 00:00:22.210
how it goes. I, Chris Loxamana, kick it with my
4
00:00:22.410 --> 00:00:27.390
former Corolla Digital co-workers, current friends with me today. All
5
00:00:27.429 --> 00:00:31.019
the way In Long Beach, California, like myself, it's Kalen Bean.
6
00:00:32.060 --> 00:00:32.780
Come on, Kalen.
7
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:36.679
Oh, look at that.
8
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.299
Right out of the gate. You know, I think you all.
9
00:00:40.329 --> 00:00:41.710
My own drop.
10
00:00:41.869 --> 00:00:42.609
I got my own drop.
11
00:00:42.630 --> 00:00:43.369
We all had our own.
12
00:00:43.409 --> 00:00:46.990
Maybe we chime in because I know I could think
13
00:00:47.009 --> 00:00:49.810
of something that you guys had. And then all the way,
14
00:00:50.450 --> 00:00:53.329
I'm really looking forward to this one. In Austin, Texas,
15
00:00:54.130 --> 00:00:55.030
it's Matt Fondelier.
16
00:00:55.869 --> 00:00:56.210
Boom.
17
00:00:57.689 --> 00:01:01.780
Nailed it. And in Orange County, California, Gary Smith.
18
00:01:02.649 --> 00:01:05.829
Hi, Gary. I thought you were going to go ahead.
19
00:01:06.090 --> 00:01:08.370
I can't remember one of my own. Give it to me.
20
00:01:08.390 --> 00:01:09.349
I'll give it back to you.
21
00:01:09.510 --> 00:01:10.489
Young Money Cash Money.
22
00:01:11.409 --> 00:01:13.250
Young Money Cash Money.
23
00:01:13.269 --> 00:01:14.109
Young Money Cash Money.
24
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:18.319
I forgot about Young Money Cash Money.
25
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.540
And yeah, it's me, Chris. Here we go.
26
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:23.459
All right.
27
00:01:23.540 --> 00:01:25.379
So there.
28
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:26.420
Yeah, I mean.
29
00:01:27.620 --> 00:01:28.939
First off, Mike Dawson not here.
30
00:01:29.019 --> 00:01:30.640
He has work tonight.
31
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:31.120
Dude!
32
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:31.819
There you go.
33
00:01:31.939 --> 00:01:33.180
I mean, there's plenty.
34
00:01:33.819 --> 00:01:34.739
I saw you see me.
35
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:39.900
So I assume most of the listeners of this show
36
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:45.090
who have heard that Paul Bryan are aware that he
37
00:01:45.129 --> 00:01:48.950
passed away last Friday. And we have not had a
38
00:01:48.969 --> 00:01:52.290
chance to address it on this show. As you hear this,
39
00:01:52.390 --> 00:01:56.109
it would have been about a week ago. Um, but
40
00:01:56.189 --> 00:01:58.670
I mean, there are plenty of tributes that have happened
41
00:01:58.909 --> 00:02:00.590
since then on social media.
42
00:02:00.890 --> 00:02:03.439
Um, Alison show posted some stuff.
43
00:02:03.500 --> 00:02:07.239
I know, uh, film vault has some, some things going on.
44
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:09.460
And, um, and then I roll a show.
45
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:09.800
I went on.
46
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:09.960
Yeah.
47
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.939
You, sir, you went on the Corolla show.
48
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:15.319
And Dawson together. Well, Dawson was just at work.
49
00:02:16.060 --> 00:02:17.139
That that's a good point.
50
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:22.180
That's true. Well, he was, but he, he rolled in.
51
00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:23.900
That was a last minute.
52
00:02:24.379 --> 00:02:28.099
Emergency pod that we came in on a Sunday morning
53
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:34.199
to record. And Dawson went straight from his hotel room
54
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:39.719
in Vegas to the studio, basically. So, yeah, so he
55
00:02:39.780 --> 00:02:43.590
was hurting a little bit, too. Not that he was just, like,
56
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.449
hungover or anything. He was just tired. I mean, the
57
00:02:46.650 --> 00:02:49.830
guy was doing comedy in Vegas the night before and
58
00:02:49.870 --> 00:02:51.069
drove straight to the studio.
59
00:02:51.090 --> 00:02:52.969
Which is classically a sober activity.
60
00:02:52.990 --> 00:02:53.169
Yeah.
61
00:02:53.189 --> 00:02:53.409
Yeah.
62
00:02:54.330 --> 00:02:57.330
You know, I didn't ask. I didn't ask, but not
63
00:02:57.370 --> 00:02:59.849
my place. And it really wasn't the time either, actually,
64
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.800
if you think about it. But look, we worked with
65
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:10.020
Brian for many years. He was a fixture on the
66
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:13.080
show where we all, the hosts of this show, became
67
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:15.120
friends and met.
68
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.699
I was actually a fan of the radio show before
69
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:24.360
the podcast. So he and Teresa were the co-hosts for
70
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:26.370
Adam on, I think, KLSX.
71
00:03:26.409 --> 00:03:28.050
Did they get that call signal right?
72
00:03:28.569 --> 00:03:31.550
And so before I ever worked for Corolla, I just
73
00:03:31.610 --> 00:03:34.319
used to listen to that show. And obviously Brian was
74
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.740
the movie guy and just all of those sound drops.
75
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:40.219
That was as big of a draw to me. as
76
00:03:40.310 --> 00:03:42.379
Carolla was. Like, I actually was like, oh, I actually
77
00:03:42.460 --> 00:03:45.300
like the sidekicks on this show. And that was like,
78
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:47.520
I never listened to Stern, but that was kind of
79
00:03:47.539 --> 00:03:50.340
like my equivalent was listening to that on like a
80
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:51.659
huge commute in the morning.
81
00:03:52.460 --> 00:03:56.860
I think there's something inherently, I'll just say male, about
82
00:03:56.979 --> 00:04:00.419
movie quotes and just quoting pop culture and just the
83
00:04:00.460 --> 00:04:05.039
way we like to just say movie quotes. Like, Kalen,
84
00:04:05.060 --> 00:04:08.800
we have two people in Jen's family who just rifle
85
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:13.280
off movie quotes as if it was... They're like Bumblebee Transformers. Like,
86
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.199
they'll just... One of them has a Point Break tattoo
87
00:04:16.259 --> 00:04:16.480
on his.
88
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.930
I was going to say, is it Point Break and Tombstone?
89
00:04:19.970 --> 00:04:22.389
Or are there two movies that are just rifled off
90
00:04:22.430 --> 00:04:23.490
quotes all the time?
91
00:04:23.550 --> 00:04:24.329
Yeah, well, it's just.
92
00:04:24.790 --> 00:04:26.269
Guys can just talk in movie quotes.
93
00:04:26.329 --> 00:04:27.209
We do. We do.
94
00:04:27.290 --> 00:04:27.870
And I think we.
95
00:04:27.970 --> 00:04:30.769
So, the fact that there's a guy in Adam's show
96
00:04:31.170 --> 00:04:36.379
who did that but used the actual audio from the movies, just... Yeah,
97
00:04:36.420 --> 00:04:39.189
I think it just kind of Hooked us in a
98
00:04:39.250 --> 00:04:40.029
little deeper.
99
00:04:40.790 --> 00:04:43.670
But I think the real skill of Brian was, and
100
00:04:44.029 --> 00:04:47.649
I sent this message to be read to him maybe.
101
00:04:47.850 --> 00:04:49.209
I don't know if it got there in time. But
102
00:04:49.709 --> 00:04:52.769
Brian's real skill was the ability to capture something live
103
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.500
as it happened and then use it to call back
104
00:04:55.819 --> 00:04:58.220
for the next hour and 15 minutes of the show.
105
00:04:58.339 --> 00:05:02.459
And he was a fucking sniper. at having that piece
106
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.240
of audio and waiting 26 minutes and then using it
107
00:05:05.300 --> 00:05:07.699
again and then waiting 14 minutes and then using it
108
00:05:07.740 --> 00:05:10.660
again and would just make a show 60% funnier than
109
00:05:10.699 --> 00:05:12.180
it probably was going to otherwise be.
110
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:12.939
Right.
111
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:13.839
Yeah.
112
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:15.379
I think it's so many times where he did that.
113
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.279
Andy Dick comes to mind just as like the first
114
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:19.199
time I saw it happen live was I.
115
00:05:19.189 --> 00:05:23.649
Can't just in terms of like laughs probably while you
116
00:05:23.689 --> 00:05:26.850
were listening, but also definitely in the booth between all
117
00:05:26.870 --> 00:05:30.069
of us. Um, With Adam, you know, you knew he
118
00:05:30.290 --> 00:05:32.129
was kind of doing a bit or he was like
119
00:05:32.180 --> 00:05:36.920
chambering a joke. So really, the like sudden outburst of laugh,
120
00:05:37.019 --> 00:05:41.360
like extreme laughter always came from Brian hitting a drop
121
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:44.480
unexpectedly out of nowhere.
122
00:05:44.660 --> 00:05:46.439
Like that was really.
123
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.750
Lit up the booth more than anything was when we
124
00:05:48.790 --> 00:05:51.230
just didn't know it was coming. Like, obviously, you know,
125
00:05:51.310 --> 00:05:53.740
Adam's doing his thing. He's riffing, he's ranting. But when
126
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.819
Brian would just hit that drop or take that quote
127
00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:59.019
that none of the rest of us heard and then
128
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:04.370
drop it later in the show, it was like it
129
00:06:04.430 --> 00:06:07.009
was the most sudden outburst of laughter that I think
130
00:06:07.050 --> 00:06:09.110
the booth ever, ever had.
131
00:06:09.649 --> 00:06:12.250
Well, Kalen, you had a unique perspective because the way
132
00:06:12.370 --> 00:06:15.060
Adam set up the sound booth in his studio, there
133
00:06:15.100 --> 00:06:17.500
was a big window that Dawson could look through. Then
134
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:19.959
there was a big wall where Kalen sat and couldn't
135
00:06:19.980 --> 00:06:22.459
see anything that was happening in the studio. And then
136
00:06:22.500 --> 00:06:24.610
there was a little window where Chris or I would
137
00:06:24.709 --> 00:06:25.610
usually be stationed.
138
00:06:25.970 --> 00:06:26.149
But.
139
00:06:26.500 --> 00:06:29.459
One of the funniest parts about this was when Brian
140
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:32.959
would hear a drop, he would start frantically moving around
141
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.879
and going from his computer to his sound machine, and
142
00:06:35.899 --> 00:06:38.670
you could just tell something was coming. You didn't necessarily
143
00:06:38.709 --> 00:06:41.189
know what, but you could see this look on Brian's
144
00:06:41.209 --> 00:06:43.509
face of like, I got a fucking gem, and you
145
00:06:43.529 --> 00:06:46.810
just buckle up. So it wasn't necessarily as sudden for
146
00:06:46.970 --> 00:06:48.449
us as it was for you, Kalen, but.
147
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:51.550
It was I caught on to the point where like
148
00:06:51.689 --> 00:06:54.689
if we did hear something like I would look over
149
00:06:54.850 --> 00:06:57.730
to see if he was working on the drop at
150
00:06:57.769 --> 00:07:00.519
the moment. So like, yeah, but it was again, it
151
00:07:00.649 --> 00:07:06.279
was just that unexpected fucking gem that he would throw
152
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:08.800
down that would just make the booth go crazy and
153
00:07:08.819 --> 00:07:10.720
probably everybody else like listening in their headphones.
154
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.870
And also came a game guessing what the end drop was.
155
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:16.439
Every time, like someone would... You would just hear... And
156
00:07:16.459 --> 00:07:19.259
then you would start to get tuned into it and go, oh,
157
00:07:19.670 --> 00:07:21.060
that's going to be it. That's going to be the
158
00:07:21.110 --> 00:07:22.819
end drop. Because usually the guest doesn't even know it's
159
00:07:22.850 --> 00:07:25.930
going to happen to him or her. So when we
160
00:07:25.970 --> 00:07:27.769
hear it, we just... I remember just looking like, oh,
161
00:07:27.810 --> 00:07:29.370
that has to be it. And sometimes we were wrong.
162
00:07:29.649 --> 00:07:31.310
But it was a fun little game to play. And
163
00:07:31.730 --> 00:07:33.550
I will say that a lot of people waited till
164
00:07:33.569 --> 00:07:35.230
the end of the show to listen for that drop.
165
00:07:35.290 --> 00:07:37.610
So he really kept up the retention rate from a
166
00:07:37.629 --> 00:07:43.769
marketing perspective of the podcast. And yeah, just... Oh, man,
167
00:07:43.810 --> 00:07:44.329
it was.
168
00:07:45.459 --> 00:07:49.240
As I was saying, Andy Dix being played back to him.
169
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.610
I remember we did... Who was the host from Ninja Warrior?
170
00:07:54.990 --> 00:07:58.550
Oh, he has a very long name.
171
00:07:59.149 --> 00:08:00.019
I can't remember what it was.
172
00:08:00.089 --> 00:08:03.730
And he said his last name perfectly. And then Brian
173
00:08:03.750 --> 00:08:05.970
recorded it. So then Adam, whenever he had to say it,
174
00:08:05.970 --> 00:08:07.069
was like, oh, I think I know how to say
175
00:08:07.089 --> 00:08:08.910
your last name. And then Brian would just hit it.
176
00:08:08.939 --> 00:08:11.160
So they tag-teamed him. He's like, that was it. How'd
177
00:08:11.180 --> 00:08:13.970
you do that? But it actually was was his voice.
178
00:08:13.990 --> 00:08:16.269
And then eventually, I don't know, it just, it never
179
00:08:16.310 --> 00:08:16.649
got old.
180
00:08:17.350 --> 00:08:21.649
So, um, it's just, Chris, I think you've said it
181
00:08:21.850 --> 00:08:24.740
very well on the Corolla show, or maybe it was Dawson.
182
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:25.360
I can't remember.
183
00:08:25.379 --> 00:08:30.220
I only watched a few minutes of it because I've.
184
00:08:28.620 --> 00:08:29.360
Been really bummed out.
185
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:31.500
So I watched the first few minutes and then you
186
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:34.159
guys started to get like a little emotional and I
187
00:08:34.210 --> 00:08:36.330
turned it off, but somebody in the first five minutes
188
00:08:36.370 --> 00:08:39.419
or so said, you know, we knew this was a
189
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.460
possibility for the last 15 years, but no one thought
190
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:43.399
it was going to be Friday.
191
00:08:44.090 --> 00:08:44.350
Yeah.
192
00:08:44.419 --> 00:08:47.610
And that was very much my experience last week. You know,
193
00:08:47.669 --> 00:08:52.370
the first kind of message that indicated that like, it
194
00:08:52.409 --> 00:08:55.169
may be coming sooner than we think was posted after
195
00:08:55.230 --> 00:08:57.990
we recorded this show last week. I think it was
196
00:08:58.009 --> 00:08:59.950
the next morning. Cause I was at my parents' house
197
00:08:59.990 --> 00:09:02.169
still and I read it and the text started to
198
00:09:02.190 --> 00:09:05.470
fly amongst the Corolla inner circle. And everyone was kind
199
00:09:05.490 --> 00:09:08.279
of like, all right, you see this? Like that's, This
200
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:10.740
is looking sketchy. And then it was Brian being in
201
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:14.720
critical condition. That's the, that's the first one that it's it.
202
00:09:14.820 --> 00:09:17.519
That's when it felt like it was getting serious, like
203
00:09:17.610 --> 00:09:20.850
really serious. Cause I mean, we've, we've gotten health updates
204
00:09:20.889 --> 00:09:22.990
from him so many times over the years, even like
205
00:09:23.009 --> 00:09:26.009
Gary produced a podcast with him well after the Corolla show.
206
00:09:26.129 --> 00:09:29.230
And so, yeah. Um, the Brian and Gina show.
207
00:09:29.450 --> 00:09:33.909
That's right. So it just, just getting those constant updates
208
00:09:34.269 --> 00:09:37.789
all the time. You just forget, like, oh, wait, these
209
00:09:37.830 --> 00:09:42.049
are serious. And, yeah, when we got the one where, oh,
210
00:09:42.070 --> 00:09:44.409
he's in critical condition, that was a new one. We've
211
00:09:44.509 --> 00:09:50.509
never gotten that one before. So it definitely hit us
212
00:09:50.529 --> 00:09:55.129
a little harder to where, yeah, we were legitimately worried.
213
00:09:55.529 --> 00:10:00.460
And then Saturday morning is when the 10th. between all
214
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:04.299
of us kind of went around like, okay, it happened.
215
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.159
And it was very heavy. It was a very heavy
216
00:10:09.179 --> 00:10:14.919
weekend all around. I will take a moment to just
217
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:20.909
talk about Christy and obviously very tragic uh, what she's
218
00:10:20.950 --> 00:10:21.549
going through.
219
00:10:21.570 --> 00:10:26.009
Um, but we always knew how strong.
220
00:10:25.929 --> 00:10:28.750
She was and how, obviously how caring she was for
221
00:10:28.789 --> 00:10:33.950
Brian and just, um, and how she, she just, uh,
222
00:10:34.330 --> 00:10:37.570
just super woman, right? I mean, absolutely. You can, you
223
00:10:37.590 --> 00:10:40.549
can see it. You can read about in Brian's book. Uh,
224
00:10:40.629 --> 00:10:42.960
you can listen to Brian talk about her. You'll, I'm
225
00:10:43.009 --> 00:10:44.919
sure you'll be able to see it in Brian's upcoming
226
00:10:44.980 --> 00:10:50.629
documentary growth. And, uh, I remember texting Christy during this process, like, Hey,
227
00:10:51.289 --> 00:10:55.529
don't reply. Just let you know, I'm thinking of you. And, uh,
228
00:10:56.470 --> 00:10:59.389
and she replied back with just like the sweetest, most
229
00:10:59.450 --> 00:11:04.990
thoughtful messages every time. And I'm just like, how are you,
230
00:11:05.809 --> 00:11:08.610
how are you doing this? And then not only that,
231
00:11:08.870 --> 00:11:11.669
she would comment on everybody's posts that were paying tribute
232
00:11:11.710 --> 00:11:15.649
to Brian and thoughtfully, not just a heart and thanks.
233
00:11:15.870 --> 00:11:19.120
It was, a legitimate thank you so much. You meant
234
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:21.509
this to Brian. Remember when we did this, this, and this?
235
00:11:24.450 --> 00:11:27.529
And then Kaylin saw this. She went in our fantasy
236
00:11:27.590 --> 00:11:31.240
football chat and texted. It was kind of freaky because
237
00:11:31.259 --> 00:11:33.220
she texted from Brian's phone. She's like, hey, just heads up.
238
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:36.259
Don't get freaked out. This is not Brian. But just
239
00:11:36.299 --> 00:11:38.840
letting us know just how much the league meant to
240
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:40.759
him and if there's anything she can do.
241
00:11:41.659 --> 00:11:43.330
It was just very, very sweet.
242
00:11:44.139 --> 00:11:46.620
Christy will always have a special place in my heart
243
00:11:46.710 --> 00:11:49.970
because on one of the Corolla cruises, I was trying
244
00:11:50.009 --> 00:11:53.629
to rally everybody to go play bingo because that's what
245
00:11:53.669 --> 00:11:57.009
you do on a fucking cruise ship. And everyone was like,
246
00:11:57.169 --> 00:12:00.299
absolutely not. That sounds ridiculous. But Christy was like, I
247
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.259
am in. And I'm pretty sure it was just her, me,
248
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.720
and my wife, and maybe a couple other people came.
249
00:12:05.779 --> 00:12:07.639
But I will always remember that. I was like, that
250
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:08.320
is a fucking trooper.
251
00:12:08.340 --> 00:12:08.539
Yeah.
252
00:12:09.750 --> 00:12:11.509
Yeah, she told me about that. She was miserable.
253
00:12:11.769 --> 00:12:20.909
Yeah. Look, it's like simultaneously there's so much that has
254
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:23.899
been already said and not enough that has been said
255
00:12:24.139 --> 00:12:26.519
about Brian and me. I went on The Carolla Show
256
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:32.480
and we talked about him for 40-something minutes and just
257
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:36.399
reminiscing about the memories we had and feelings we have
258
00:12:36.470 --> 00:12:39.129
and had. And I didn't even get through like most
259
00:12:39.149 --> 00:12:41.230
of my notes or anything just because we were just,
260
00:12:41.470 --> 00:12:43.690
we were just going and it was, I was reminded
261
00:12:43.730 --> 00:12:48.309
by things from Adam and Dawson and, um, you know,
262
00:12:48.330 --> 00:12:50.690
and it's kind of weird too. I mean, I had,
263
00:12:50.710 --> 00:12:54.320
I had a couple of days to sort of sit
264
00:12:54.340 --> 00:12:56.919
with it before I went on the show. And, um,
265
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:01.100
and then I remember on the way in, I called
266
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:06.539
super fan Giovanni of all people check in on him. Cause, uh,
267
00:13:07.210 --> 00:13:09.970
you know, he's, he's a long time listener, family member
268
00:13:09.990 --> 00:13:14.470
of the Corolla show. And, uh, um, and then I
269
00:13:14.529 --> 00:13:16.549
know he was preparing a lot of stuff in Corolla classics,
270
00:13:16.929 --> 00:13:18.450
sort of paying tribute to Brian too. So I just
271
00:13:18.490 --> 00:13:20.590
wanted to make sure that he's doing that. So if
272
00:13:20.789 --> 00:13:23.250
I could talk about it on the show and, um,
273
00:13:24.169 --> 00:13:26.049
and that's when it hit me the hardest was really
274
00:13:26.190 --> 00:13:29.029
weirdly talking to him. And then you have all these
275
00:13:29.110 --> 00:13:30.629
thoughts that you have in your head. And then the
276
00:13:30.730 --> 00:13:35.950
second you start physically saying them, it, it just, it just, uh,
277
00:13:36.809 --> 00:13:38.669
It feels a lot different. And then your voice starts
278
00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:41.639
shaking and it's like, oh, it like all of a
279
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:46.980
sudden kind of makes it real. And yeah, I remember just,
280
00:13:47.179 --> 00:13:49.019
I don't even remember, to be honest, what was said
281
00:13:49.220 --> 00:13:51.200
on Adam's show that much because.
282
00:13:52.529 --> 00:13:54.940
I will say that the tribute on Adam's show between
283
00:13:54.980 --> 00:13:59.080
you and Dawson and Adam was very good. You guys
284
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:01.019
put a great light on it to the point where
285
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:03.980
it was very sad, as Gary said, starting out. But
286
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:06.370
by the end of it, going through the memories of
287
00:14:06.379 --> 00:14:09.789
his drops and replaying them, like I was actually like
288
00:14:09.830 --> 00:14:12.970
smiling and laughing, listening to it and remembering all those
289
00:14:13.009 --> 00:14:15.769
drops and all those moments and especially being there. And
290
00:14:15.990 --> 00:14:17.269
I will say by the end of it, Gary, I
291
00:14:17.289 --> 00:14:18.480
don't know if you got to it. By the end
292
00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:20.799
of it, I was like smiling and laughing at all
293
00:14:20.860 --> 00:14:21.399
those moments.
294
00:14:21.970 --> 00:14:22.389
I didn't.
295
00:14:22.529 --> 00:14:26.070
I've been kind of sitting with it the way Chris said,
296
00:14:26.289 --> 00:14:31.539
and we have plans to see a lot of each
297
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:34.419
other and a lot of the extended Corollaverse this weekend.
298
00:14:34.460 --> 00:14:36.740
So I'm kind of waiting for that. And after that,
299
00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:38.240
I think I'm going to go back and revisit it
300
00:14:38.299 --> 00:14:40.559
because I've heard the same thing from other people that
301
00:14:40.580 --> 00:14:43.700
by the end, it was a celebration much more than
302
00:14:43.740 --> 00:14:46.940
it was kind of a bummer. I accidentally clicked on
303
00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:50.179
it while I was at a friend's house and I
304
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:53.789
was a guest for for a dinner and I just
305
00:14:54.370 --> 00:14:57.269
started playing it and got, uh, as Chris said, things
306
00:14:57.389 --> 00:14:59.409
started getting shaky and I did not want to break
307
00:14:59.450 --> 00:15:01.980
down in that environment. So, uh, believe it or not,
308
00:15:02.009 --> 00:15:03.980
I turned it off and, uh, turned on the jet
309
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:07.080
blue letters from David thunder, just cause that's a guaranteed thing.
310
00:15:07.100 --> 00:15:10.220
That'll make me laugh. So, um, yeah, Dan Penny and
311
00:15:10.379 --> 00:15:12.940
his exploits, but I will go back and, uh, and
312
00:15:12.980 --> 00:15:14.860
listen to it when I'm in a better headspace and
313
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:17.340
I've had a chance to actually properly see some of
314
00:15:17.379 --> 00:15:20.019
the people that, uh, that I've been missing lately.
315
00:15:20.110 --> 00:15:20.210
So.
316
00:15:20.690 --> 00:15:25.269
Yeah. So anyway, um, and a lot of people reaching
317
00:15:25.370 --> 00:15:27.529
out to us as well. And I just want to
318
00:15:27.549 --> 00:15:31.340
say it was very, very sweet, um, and thoughtful that
319
00:15:31.379 --> 00:15:35.500
people are leaving messages, uh, for us like, and, and, um,
320
00:15:36.059 --> 00:15:38.200
and about Brian and what Brian meant to them and
321
00:15:38.220 --> 00:15:42.129
things like that. So thank you. Um, it's, it's very
322
00:15:42.169 --> 00:15:45.990
much appreciated. And it, it, uh, if anything, it, it,
323
00:15:46.210 --> 00:15:50.889
it made, um, the, the, the people just surrounding this
324
00:15:50.950 --> 00:15:54.509
show even just feel like family. Like it is very,
325
00:15:54.570 --> 00:15:55.070
very nice.
326
00:15:55.090 --> 00:15:56.730
So, um, it really was.
327
00:15:57.090 --> 00:16:00.690
Thank you. Thank you all to everybody who reached out and, uh, look,
328
00:16:01.289 --> 00:16:04.049
I mean, very, I doubt it, but there might be
329
00:16:04.090 --> 00:16:08.299
people who didn't know bald Brian who listened to the show. Um,
330
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:10.639
but yeah, I encourage you to do some research and
331
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:13.889
check it out. He wrote a really great book, um, uh,
332
00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:16.820
shrinkage and he has a movie coming out called growth.
333
00:16:17.620 --> 00:16:20.080
which Gary and I are going to go see at
334
00:16:20.139 --> 00:16:23.960
the premiere, which by the way, sold out very quickly, um,
335
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:27.840
in support. And, uh, I know Christie's going to go
336
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:30.379
there and do a Q and a, which I don't
337
00:16:30.419 --> 00:16:31.559
know how that's going to go. It's going to be
338
00:16:31.580 --> 00:16:34.639
my first time seeing her. Uh, so.
339
00:16:35.750 --> 00:16:37.519
And I will say we were asked at a certain
340
00:16:37.570 --> 00:16:39.190
point to kind of hit up some of the more
341
00:16:39.269 --> 00:16:43.070
notable Corolla show guests that we still have contacts for. And, uh,
342
00:16:43.549 --> 00:16:45.889
to a man, everyone that I hit up posted about
343
00:16:45.950 --> 00:16:49.279
it and, blew up the spot. So shout out to
344
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:51.820
everyone who helped sell that out and make it a
345
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:53.019
real celebration for Brian.
346
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:54.110
I'm really looking forward to it.
347
00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:57.419
I'm also expecting to break down halfway through the movie,
348
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:03.070
but it's going to be good to have a bunch
349
00:17:03.149 --> 00:17:06.009
of the extended people kind of all in one place
350
00:17:06.069 --> 00:17:07.250
to celebrate him properly.
351
00:17:07.269 --> 00:17:10.369
Please send love from Julie and I out here.
352
00:17:10.390 --> 00:17:10.970
Of course.
353
00:17:10.990 --> 00:17:11.170
We will.
354
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:13.859
Yeah, actually, so I always, and I think this is
355
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:16.539
the power of podcasting. I know a lot of podcasts
356
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:21.950
move to video anyway, but hearing someone's voice, just the
357
00:17:22.069 --> 00:17:27.329
power that that has on you as a human. I
358
00:17:27.369 --> 00:17:31.490
remember when my grandmother passed, right before she passed, I
359
00:17:31.670 --> 00:17:33.559
just got into podcasting. So I thought, oh, I should
360
00:17:33.630 --> 00:17:35.900
interview her. And I recorded like an audio interview of her.
361
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:39.059
And then when she did pass, I made one of
362
00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:41.299
the slideshows for her that played at her funeral. And
363
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:43.829
I overlaid it with audio of her telling her story.
364
00:17:44.380 --> 00:17:47.289
And everyone said the second that her voice hit the
365
00:17:47.309 --> 00:17:52.190
speakers in that slideshow, everyone just started breaking down. And
366
00:17:52.210 --> 00:17:53.930
I think that's what's going to happen with growth, is
367
00:17:53.950 --> 00:17:55.890
the second I hear his voice, it's just going to...
368
00:17:55.769 --> 00:18:00.190
That's what I'm afraid of, too. Yeah, that's when it's
369
00:18:00.210 --> 00:18:05.009
really going to hit. So we'll see how it goes.
370
00:18:05.210 --> 00:18:08.509
I do look forward to seeing the movie, and I'm
371
00:18:08.529 --> 00:18:11.359
glad that it's finally out. as well. Cause we all
372
00:18:11.380 --> 00:18:13.259
saw him when he was making it too. So, and
373
00:18:13.299 --> 00:18:14.819
it was a long, it was a long process.
374
00:18:15.579 --> 00:18:17.099
Um, okay.
375
00:18:17.420 --> 00:18:19.619
So as I said, a lot to be said, and
376
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:20.980
I'm sure this won't be the last time we ever
377
00:18:21.029 --> 00:18:25.430
talk about him. Um, but just, uh, yeah, once again,
378
00:18:25.450 --> 00:18:27.789
just shout out to everybody for, for just showing the
379
00:18:27.849 --> 00:18:31.309
love and the celebration of that man. I'm sure, I'm
380
00:18:31.349 --> 00:18:33.170
sure Brian loves it. We're barking about him.
381
00:18:33.289 --> 00:18:34.089
Yeah.
382
00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:40.250
Uh, so as final tribute, I thought before we get
383
00:18:40.269 --> 00:18:43.869
into comments, before we get on with the show, because
384
00:18:44.049 --> 00:18:45.569
before the show started, I asked everybody, how do you
385
00:18:45.609 --> 00:18:47.119
guys want to do this? And Matt had 30 notes
386
00:18:47.130 --> 00:18:50.410
about Fondleween. And not what it meant.
387
00:18:50.430 --> 00:18:50.930
Not what it meant.
388
00:18:51.619 --> 00:18:55.799
Matt's like, well, let me go decoration by decoration here.
389
00:18:56.500 --> 00:18:58.460
And I thought it was just going to be the
390
00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:00.599
three of us, you know? I'm looking for ways to
391
00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:03.019
build the show. That had a lot of Fondleween notes.
392
00:19:03.059 --> 00:19:06.430
This might be a four-parter. That is 100% real.
393
00:19:06.549 --> 00:19:09.069
I don't think you were here yet, but that definitely
394
00:19:09.190 --> 00:19:09.950
was a discussion.
395
00:19:09.970 --> 00:19:11.890
I believe it.
396
00:19:12.089 --> 00:19:15.309
I believe it. Well, anyway, so before we do that
397
00:19:15.390 --> 00:19:21.299
and get back to your regularly scheduled programming, among the
398
00:19:21.339 --> 00:19:25.660
many things that Bald Brian did contribute to our universe,
399
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:30.059
one being sports ball, all the Super Bowl tweets that
400
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:31.220
said things like, oh.
401
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:33.210
What games are they playing? How many home runs are
402
00:19:33.230 --> 00:19:33.670
they going to hit?
403
00:19:34.210 --> 00:19:36.150
Which still happened, and I think about it all the time.
404
00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:40.700
It might be his version of Humble Brag, which ironically
405
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:42.819
he would have Humble Bragged about if he were alive
406
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:43.240
to see that.
407
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:48.950
No, he would have just bragged about it. Number two
408
00:19:49.069 --> 00:19:49.849
is Tool Tunes.
409
00:19:51.059 --> 00:19:53.720
Love the fact that he coined Tool Tunes as well,
410
00:19:54.859 --> 00:19:59.849
which created a beloved segment that Mike Dawson used to
411
00:20:00.109 --> 00:20:05.009
start the Adam Carolla Show weeks with. And those are
412
00:20:05.049 --> 00:20:08.049
the songs that you love. They're kind of guilty pleasures,
413
00:20:08.089 --> 00:20:11.180
but The way he explained it, it's not. It's just
414
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:14.930
the kind of songs that you love listening to, but
415
00:20:14.950 --> 00:20:17.910
the second that you're at the stoplight, windows go up,
416
00:20:17.950 --> 00:20:20.029
volume goes down a little bit, because you're a little
417
00:20:20.049 --> 00:20:24.269
embarrassed about it. Which, I mean, you know, maybe Miley
418
00:20:24.289 --> 00:20:26.950
Cyrus' Party in the USA might fall in that category
419
00:20:26.970 --> 00:20:29.990
for me. Nah, windows stay down.
420
00:20:30.589 --> 00:20:31.049
And then.
421
00:20:32.630 --> 00:20:37.259
And lastly, Brian's minus 16 Rotten Tomatoes score.
422
00:20:38.099 --> 00:20:38.279
So.
423
00:20:39.940 --> 00:20:42.029
I went through my old emails and I found the
424
00:20:42.109 --> 00:20:45.549
Rotten Tomatoes game. And look, we talk about a minus
425
00:20:45.549 --> 00:20:49.349
16 Rotten Tomatoes game score, but I don't think people
426
00:20:49.430 --> 00:20:54.150
really remember just how hard and how difficult and how
427
00:20:54.269 --> 00:20:56.470
rare that actually is.
428
00:20:57.130 --> 00:21:01.089
So I don't think there was ever another minus before.
429
00:21:01.109 --> 00:21:01.730
Yeah.
430
00:21:01.890 --> 00:21:05.369
Let alone think even a single minus one, I don't
431
00:21:05.410 --> 00:21:07.190
think was ever accomplished by the end of the game,
432
00:21:07.210 --> 00:21:09.289
let alone a minus 16.
433
00:21:09.289 --> 00:21:11.950
So for those who don't know, the Rotten Tomatoes game
434
00:21:12.009 --> 00:21:14.690
is a game that was created on the Adam Carolla show.
435
00:21:15.029 --> 00:21:18.019
Probably the most competitive of all the games. All the
436
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:20.839
guys took it very seriously who played. Absolutely.
437
00:21:22.740 --> 00:21:25.019
On the rare time when I actually got to sit
438
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:27.160
in on the show, like if Brian was out or something,
439
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:29.039
then I could actually play the Rotten Tomatoes game.
440
00:21:29.420 --> 00:21:31.700
I was like, oh my God, I have to do good.
441
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:37.809
Right. It was a big deal. Um, and we, we played, uh,
442
00:21:37.849 --> 00:21:44.150
so it's, it's stroke play. So it's, it's the, it's
443
00:21:44.170 --> 00:21:47.569
the differential. So we have a Ron tomatoes critic score.
444
00:21:47.609 --> 00:21:50.109
We name a movie. Everyone guesses the critic score. And
445
00:21:50.130 --> 00:21:53.630
then we take the differential, add up the entire five
446
00:21:53.690 --> 00:21:56.910
movie differential and that your score lowest score wins.
447
00:21:56.950 --> 00:21:59.009
Brian at a minus 16 unheard of.
448
00:21:59.569 --> 00:22:02.089
And if you get it right, yeah, you get.
449
00:22:02.009 --> 00:22:03.309
It on, then it's minus five.
450
00:22:03.450 --> 00:22:03.849
That's right.
451
00:22:04.220 --> 00:22:06.200
So, I mean, gosh, there had to be a better
452
00:22:06.220 --> 00:22:07.720
way to explain that. I'm sorry if that didn't make
453
00:22:07.740 --> 00:22:10.309
sense to people, but you will find out because we're
454
00:22:10.329 --> 00:22:12.170
going to play. I have the script. I'm going to
455
00:22:12.190 --> 00:22:15.349
have Matt, Kalen, and Gary.
456
00:22:16.569 --> 00:22:18.630
And all the listeners at home as well.
457
00:22:18.950 --> 00:22:19.390
That's right.
458
00:22:19.670 --> 00:22:21.289
We're lovers of the Rotten Tomatoes game.
459
00:22:21.390 --> 00:22:24.380
I have a couple questions. Can I ask a couple questions?
460
00:22:24.430 --> 00:22:24.650
Yes.
461
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:28.559
One, these are the scores that were.
462
00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:32.920
Yes. in the original game not as they currently stand
463
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:35.859
because they might have shifted in the last decade correct
464
00:22:35.900 --> 00:22:38.480
just to be clear so don't don't for the listener
465
00:22:38.500 --> 00:22:40.359
don't look it up because it's not going to help
466
00:22:40.420 --> 00:22:43.359
you that's right um and to kaylin who i know
467
00:22:43.380 --> 00:22:44.910
wants to cheat don't look it up it's not going
468
00:22:44.930 --> 00:22:47.930
to help you yeah um and then question two i
469
00:22:47.950 --> 00:22:50.029
think we all want to know how the fuck are
470
00:22:50.049 --> 00:22:52.309
you going to keep this very complicated score uh.
471
00:22:53.390 --> 00:22:56.440
I have i have i have an excel sheet You.
472
00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:58.400
Have an Excel sheet. Is it something you created yourself?
473
00:22:58.420 --> 00:22:59.920
That's the one that you used to use.
474
00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:02.549
That's the one you used to use when you worked there, right?
475
00:23:02.789 --> 00:23:03.910
You want to go?
476
00:23:04.609 --> 00:23:05.069
It's fine.
477
00:23:05.390 --> 00:23:07.410
I'm not proud of it.
478
00:23:07.470 --> 00:23:09.849
I don't know, Chris. Let's go there.
479
00:23:09.869 --> 00:23:10.309
Let's go.
480
00:23:11.910 --> 00:23:12.269
Okay.
481
00:23:13.069 --> 00:23:17.789
So I thought about doing this three minutes before the
482
00:23:17.829 --> 00:23:20.450
show started, and I opened up my old laptop, which
483
00:23:20.470 --> 00:23:24.839
I have my emails, and I found the script for
484
00:23:25.170 --> 00:23:29.269
for this particular game, but not a charger, but not
485
00:23:29.289 --> 00:23:33.970
a charger. We restarted the show. And so right before
486
00:23:33.990 --> 00:23:37.269
the show, I, I put a prompt into, um, an
487
00:23:37.369 --> 00:23:43.809
artificial intelligence service to create a run tomatoes game scorekeeping sheet.
488
00:23:43.829 --> 00:23:45.670
Someone's really embarrassed. They use grok.
489
00:23:45.769 --> 00:23:50.309
Do you guys, the graphics they put in this are, are,
490
00:23:51.289 --> 00:23:52.690
Vivid and... Something.
491
00:23:53.089 --> 00:23:54.450
Something, yeah. Explicit.
492
00:23:54.509 --> 00:23:56.019
Especially if you use Grok, I'm sure.
493
00:23:56.390 --> 00:23:59.140
So, by the way, I'm going to pause here. Do
494
00:23:59.180 --> 00:24:03.539
you guys just ever think about how much better working
495
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:05.460
at the Corolla Show would be if we had AI
496
00:24:05.859 --> 00:24:06.359
helping us?
497
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:06.819
Because.
498
00:24:07.660 --> 00:24:08.099
I do.
499
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:10.680
Not until now, but it's a great thought.
500
00:24:10.829 --> 00:24:13.690
But not better. Because it's not right enough.
501
00:24:14.049 --> 00:24:14.970
It's not right enough.
502
00:24:15.029 --> 00:24:15.450
You're right.
503
00:24:15.750 --> 00:24:16.829
But just.
504
00:24:17.210 --> 00:24:18.990
It's wrong as often as we were.
505
00:24:19.980 --> 00:24:24.099
Yeah, you're putting another random guesser into the mix. I
506
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:25.819
don't know how helpful it would be. You have to
507
00:24:25.859 --> 00:24:26.799
verify it yourself.
508
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:28.660
But just think of all the bios, Caelan, that don't
509
00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:32.509
have Rob Schneider's age. Like, he would automatically put the age.
510
00:24:32.569 --> 00:24:33.410
Not just the age.
511
00:24:34.230 --> 00:24:34.710
Yeah, I know.
512
00:24:35.490 --> 00:24:37.849
I know, I think about it all the time.
513
00:24:37.869 --> 00:24:43.690
Taylor Sheridan was in Deuce Bigelow, too.
514
00:24:43.769 --> 00:24:46.799
All right, so I don't have the intro because I
515
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:49.609
don't want to get flagged off of any services because
516
00:24:49.670 --> 00:24:51.150
it is a bg song.
517
00:24:51.029 --> 00:24:53.089
That's that it's funny you brought that up i saw
518
00:24:53.130 --> 00:24:55.190
this online just as an aside before we get started
519
00:24:55.690 --> 00:24:59.029
it was pointed out online that you guys didn't play
520
00:24:59.170 --> 00:25:01.609
a single one of bald brian's drops you just talked
521
00:25:01.630 --> 00:25:05.539
about them yeah and the speculation was are those drops
522
00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:09.500
brian's intellectual property or and this is not my question
523
00:25:09.619 --> 00:25:12.720
this is how it was posed online or are the
524
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:15.200
corolla staffers just too lazy to get them ready.
525
00:25:16.380 --> 00:25:19.180
Okay As a non-Carolla staffer.
526
00:25:19.660 --> 00:25:21.180
Exactly. That's why I'm asking you this question.
527
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:22.480
I was hoping to hear more of those drops.
528
00:25:22.529 --> 00:25:24.769
I would not have asked this question if Dawson was here.
529
00:25:25.009 --> 00:25:25.490
I was too.
530
00:25:25.549 --> 00:25:31.049
Look, as we said, this was a last-minute thing. We
531
00:25:31.109 --> 00:25:35.289
went in first thing Sunday morning to where I didn't
532
00:25:35.329 --> 00:25:38.690
know I was going in until Saturday night, like late
533
00:25:38.730 --> 00:25:39.309
Saturday night.
534
00:25:40.349 --> 00:25:40.569
So.
535
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:43.059
It should also be.
536
00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:46.279
Pointed out, and I think I may owe an apology
537
00:25:46.299 --> 00:25:49.529
to Charles, our friend, who sent me a picture of
538
00:25:49.569 --> 00:25:52.269
Brian's rig when we set it up shortly after he passed.
539
00:25:52.349 --> 00:25:54.289
I think I might not have been in a headspace
540
00:25:54.309 --> 00:25:55.690
to be talking about it yet, so I don't know
541
00:25:55.730 --> 00:25:58.309
if I replied, but he sent me a picture. And
542
00:25:58.829 --> 00:26:02.369
the picture reminded me that much of the equipment Brian
543
00:26:02.549 --> 00:26:06.029
used could gently be considered vintage at this point.
544
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:07.859
So I don't.
545
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:11.200
Know if setting it all up and getting it ready
546
00:26:11.269 --> 00:26:14.130
to use the way Brian used it is even viable
547
00:26:14.170 --> 00:26:15.769
in the Lord's year of 2026.
548
00:26:15.769 --> 00:26:19.329
Well, the instant replay 360, which is the.
549
00:26:20.910 --> 00:26:23.829
Drop machine, I guess we'll say, it basically played back
550
00:26:23.910 --> 00:26:26.750
audio instantly, and that's where he would load the drops.
551
00:26:28.059 --> 00:26:30.640
With short keys and commands and things like that.
552
00:26:30.660 --> 00:26:36.599
That's still there, but that had mainly old drops. And
553
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:38.420
then there was a laptop that had all of the
554
00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:41.150
like drops that were past 2015.
555
00:26:41.150 --> 00:26:43.230
He had his own laptop that he would like take
556
00:26:43.289 --> 00:26:45.750
home and bring into the studio that he would like
557
00:26:45.809 --> 00:26:46.650
edit drops on.
558
00:26:46.809 --> 00:26:49.549
So it's, it was, it was a mixture of both.
559
00:26:49.630 --> 00:26:52.180
So Brian would play drops either from his laptop or
560
00:26:52.259 --> 00:26:55.839
from the 360. I think the 360 might still be there,
561
00:26:55.859 --> 00:26:58.660
but I don't, I don't think it's not a solid
562
00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:00.599
state drive. So you power that thing up and you
563
00:27:00.619 --> 00:27:05.460
hear that thing spinning inside. And, um, it has malfunctioned
564
00:27:06.029 --> 00:27:09.210
many times. Um, but look, I'm not making excuses. The
565
00:27:09.349 --> 00:27:12.210
only thing is we, we did that show last minute. They,
566
00:27:12.309 --> 00:27:17.269
when I personally, the only quote unquote producing that I
567
00:27:17.309 --> 00:27:20.490
did was I, I sent Adam his forward to Brian's
568
00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:24.259
book that he recorded, which I don't think Adam saw, uh,
569
00:27:24.299 --> 00:27:28.180
that basically laid out at Adam and Brian's history in
570
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:33.269
like a three minute little nugget. And, um, but me
571
00:27:33.309 --> 00:27:35.670
having to go like get there early to hook up
572
00:27:35.690 --> 00:27:38.730
Brian's machine. I just, I just didn't think that was
573
00:27:38.970 --> 00:27:40.170
something I was supposed.
574
00:27:39.829 --> 00:27:40.289
To do on you.
575
00:27:40.309 --> 00:27:46.299
Uh, I mean, in the Corolla email archives, I know
576
00:27:46.380 --> 00:27:51.079
that best drop was a category for the ACE awards
577
00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:51.619
every year.
578
00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:55.240
So sure. All of the best drops from every year would.
579
00:27:55.740 --> 00:27:59.480
Now would have been, you're right. Now here's the second part. I,
580
00:28:01.329 --> 00:28:06.650
I wouldn't feel right playing them. Um, I guess I'm
581
00:28:06.690 --> 00:28:10.309
torn because there was times when Brian, like when we
582
00:28:10.329 --> 00:28:12.210
would do water cooler in the studio, if we would
583
00:28:12.230 --> 00:28:15.960
have played a drop dirt, like from Brian's machine during
584
00:28:15.980 --> 00:28:18.420
the show, that would have been straight up disrespectful.
585
00:28:19.420 --> 00:28:19.619
Yeah.
586
00:28:19.660 --> 00:28:22.380
Pretty sure I did that. Yeah, I definitely did a
587
00:28:22.460 --> 00:28:22.819
couple of times.
588
00:28:23.970 --> 00:28:25.880
It just, it was, it was, that's just kind of how,
589
00:28:25.910 --> 00:28:26.519
how it was.
590
00:28:27.019 --> 00:28:30.559
The 360 machine was its like own entity. I used
591
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:32.920
to pack it up when we would do live shows.
592
00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:34.599
I would be the one that would pack it up
593
00:28:35.140 --> 00:28:38.400
into the case, take it, unpack it, set it up
594
00:28:38.500 --> 00:28:40.839
on stage, pack it back and later bring. And it
595
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:45.359
was always this like Indiana Jones style relic that was
596
00:28:45.819 --> 00:28:49.099
to be preserved over anything else that we would take
597
00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:50.140
in the Pelican case.
598
00:28:50.609 --> 00:28:53.569
It was not an ergonomic shape and probably the worst
599
00:28:53.730 --> 00:28:55.259
shaped device for travel.
600
00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:58.759
Yeah. Um, we had to cut out special like foaming
601
00:28:58.819 --> 00:29:01.059
to protect the buttons on the top of it and
602
00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:02.000
like all that stuff.
603
00:29:02.700 --> 00:29:07.059
Yeah. So it just, uh, I do feel weird playing
604
00:29:07.700 --> 00:29:10.589
at least the recorded drops that he, that he would
605
00:29:10.619 --> 00:29:14.130
grab and use them for anything. So I don't know.
606
00:29:14.430 --> 00:29:16.210
I don't know the legality of it. We'll have to
607
00:29:16.250 --> 00:29:19.289
ask Garagus next time we, we talked to him. Um,
608
00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:23.000
But that's why you didn't hear drops in the show, mainly.
609
00:29:23.019 --> 00:29:23.500
Makes sense.
610
00:29:23.940 --> 00:29:24.140
Yeah.
611
00:29:24.660 --> 00:29:28.319
I mean, I didn't ask for them. But at the
612
00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:30.720
same time, I would love to hear them. Well, let's
613
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:31.329
carry over to the.
614
00:29:31.339 --> 00:29:33.410
Let's play some games. Okay.
615
00:29:33.630 --> 00:29:36.569
So let's play some games. We're on Tomatoes game. Here
616
00:29:36.609 --> 00:29:36.970
we go.
617
00:29:37.869 --> 00:29:39.390
You like roller coasters, motherfucker?
618
00:29:39.410 --> 00:29:39.490
Yeah.
619
00:29:40.450 --> 00:29:40.859
Alright.
620
00:29:42.980 --> 00:29:44.799
I won't do a Dawson impression, but this is the
621
00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:45.500
exact script.
622
00:29:46.720 --> 00:29:48.539
And in terms of segments, before we kick it off
623
00:29:48.579 --> 00:29:52.759
real quick, the Rotten Tomatoes intro was always top notch.
624
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:54.769
It was better than pretty much anything else.
625
00:29:54.789 --> 00:29:56.589
Kalen just liked it because it was long enough for
626
00:29:56.630 --> 00:30:00.019
him to finish his drumstick before he had to start Typing.
627
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:02.240
So he's like, oh, like the second he hears that,
628
00:30:02.259 --> 00:30:05.740
he's like, oh, I can double hand this piece of chicken.
629
00:30:06.180 --> 00:30:06.440
Okay.
630
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:07.819
As we.
631
00:30:07.940 --> 00:30:08.180
Okay.
632
00:30:08.779 --> 00:30:12.309
Brought to me this game. As we arrive in the
633
00:30:12.369 --> 00:30:15.549
month of August, there's only one thing we could theme
634
00:30:15.589 --> 00:30:21.710
this game on. That's this month's namesake, the stoned pelican himself.
635
00:30:22.490 --> 00:30:25.589
These are some of the favorite and not so favorite
636
00:30:25.650 --> 00:30:30.960
films of Mike August. Um, just side note, Dawson credited
637
00:30:31.019 --> 00:30:33.460
Lynch to writing this. It was actually Dylan. I knew
638
00:30:33.579 --> 00:30:35.960
that Dylan wrote this, but I didn't want to bog
639
00:30:35.980 --> 00:30:38.579
down the show and stop everybody, but it was Dylan
640
00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:41.359
who wrote this. Cause I remember coming up with the, uh,
641
00:30:42.099 --> 00:30:43.559
the theme with him. Okay.
642
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:48.660
The first movie, the Godfather. Oh wait, dang it.
643
00:30:49.140 --> 00:30:52.069
Dylan always wrote the movie name title first in the description. Second,
644
00:30:52.089 --> 00:30:56.410
it should be, uh, it should be switched. Freaking Dylan.
645
00:30:57.069 --> 00:30:57.210
Okay.
646
00:30:57.230 --> 00:30:57.869
Oh my God.
647
00:30:59.089 --> 00:31:01.630
In classic Rotten Tomatoes fashion, by the way, I need
648
00:31:01.650 --> 00:31:04.069
to remind everybody we write our scores down. I don't
649
00:31:04.089 --> 00:31:06.390
know if you have pen or paper handy, but I
650
00:31:06.410 --> 00:31:08.990
will be writing my scores down when I lock it in.
651
00:31:09.490 --> 00:31:11.890
Just to verify that you're not cheating.
652
00:31:12.089 --> 00:31:13.509
That's right.
653
00:31:13.950 --> 00:31:15.009
They took the game seriously.
654
00:31:15.650 --> 00:31:17.069
Well, apparently so are we.
655
00:31:17.089 --> 00:31:18.589
Here's the first movie.
656
00:31:18.769 --> 00:31:19.519
I wonder what it is.
657
00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:23.339
We don't have to guess the movie, right?
658
00:31:24.819 --> 00:31:26.180
I'll reveal it at the end of the description.
659
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:27.240
Or in the middle.
660
00:31:27.420 --> 00:31:28.319
After the first one.
661
00:31:33.670 --> 00:31:35.650
This is what you get when you try to produce
662
00:31:35.690 --> 00:31:36.150
the show.
663
00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:42.900
I've been burned many times before, and I'll be burned
664
00:31:42.940 --> 00:31:47.579
many times after. Easy to start the game, but Mike
665
00:31:47.740 --> 00:31:51.920
considers this film one of his favorite of all time. Quote,
666
00:31:52.900 --> 00:32:02.309
every scene is a classic in 1972's The Godfather. And
667
00:32:02.349 --> 00:32:03.130
you guys can talk about it.
668
00:32:03.130 --> 00:32:06.210
We're supposed to write down what we think the score
669
00:32:06.329 --> 00:32:10.349
was in the year of our Lord 2012 or whatever
670
00:32:10.369 --> 00:32:11.349
the fuck this was recorded.
671
00:32:11.410 --> 00:32:11.650
Yes.
672
00:32:11.829 --> 00:32:13.289
I didn't even work there at that time.
673
00:32:13.430 --> 00:32:13.809
No, no.
674
00:32:13.869 --> 00:32:15.119
This had to have been more like 2018.
675
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:16.519
You were there when this happened.
676
00:32:16.539 --> 00:32:18.519
If Dylan worked there. If Dylan worked there.
677
00:32:18.579 --> 00:32:19.180
It was 2018, I think.
678
00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:22.900
But yeah, we write down the scores and the critics score,
679
00:32:22.940 --> 00:32:23.779
not the audience score.
680
00:32:23.819 --> 00:32:24.119
Correct?
681
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:24.900
That's right.
682
00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:25.880
The critics score.
683
00:32:25.900 --> 00:32:30.000
All right. I think I've got mine locked in.
684
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:32.799
I'm locked in. Do we all reveal before we go
685
00:32:32.819 --> 00:32:35.640
to the next movie? Yeah, you do.
686
00:32:35.779 --> 00:32:41.410
So let's go Matt, Kalen, and then Gary.
687
00:32:42.990 --> 00:32:43.210
All right.
688
00:32:43.289 --> 00:32:44.869
I'm going to go. Obviously, this is one of the
689
00:32:44.890 --> 00:32:47.450
greatest films of all time. There's always a conversation.
690
00:32:47.509 --> 00:32:49.430
Are you a Godfather 1 or a Godfather 2 kind
691
00:32:49.589 --> 00:32:50.130
of person?
692
00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:54.940
Personally, I prefer the first Godfather. I really do. But
693
00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:56.839
I know some people think the second one's even better.
694
00:32:57.039 --> 00:33:01.339
But We all love it. It's a classic.
695
00:33:01.339 --> 00:33:02.940
97%.
696
00:33:02.940 --> 00:33:05.440
Okay. Gary?
697
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:09.039
You said that Kalen was going to go next, and
698
00:33:09.059 --> 00:33:09.900
I was going to go third.
699
00:33:10.579 --> 00:33:13.930
Well, I will hold up my score to the camera
700
00:33:13.970 --> 00:33:16.730
just so that I can verify, because I, too, said 97%.
701
00:33:16.730 --> 00:33:20.890
Oh, things are getting interesting already.
702
00:33:21.369 --> 00:33:22.029
And then Kalen?
703
00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:25.759
I feel it is also necessary that I hold up
704
00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:29.940
my score because I went 96, crossed it out, and
705
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:30.299
wrote 97.
706
00:33:30.299 --> 00:33:31.019
No way! Yes.
707
00:33:35.619 --> 00:33:37.789
To be fair, you could have also crossed it out
708
00:33:37.849 --> 00:33:38.599
after we both said 96.
709
00:33:38.589 --> 00:33:39.329
Whatever.
710
00:33:40.589 --> 00:33:43.369
You can watch the video back. There's no crossing out.
711
00:33:44.089 --> 00:33:44.950
The Godfather.
712
00:33:45.049 --> 00:33:46.630
That's why I'm keeping my pen in the frame.
713
00:33:47.829 --> 00:33:55.250
I'll say the score. The Godfather. The Godfather. is certified
714
00:33:55.349 --> 00:33:56.950
fresh at 98%.
715
00:33:56.950 --> 00:33:57.069
Oh.
716
00:33:57.109 --> 00:33:58.549
All right, so.
717
00:34:00.529 --> 00:34:03.569
To be fair, we're all already losing compared.
718
00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:04.359
To what Brian is doing.
719
00:34:04.700 --> 00:34:06.400
We're already six points behind Brian.
720
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:10.960
Yeah, all right. Second movie.
721
00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:18.619
Channeling our commander-in-chief, August says of this film, quote, great,
722
00:34:18.659 --> 00:34:27.570
great characters, no weak links. In 1982's Diner. Diner from 1982.
723
00:34:27.570 --> 00:34:30.489
Have you seen this, Kalen?
724
00:34:31.150 --> 00:34:31.510
I have.
725
00:34:31.550 --> 00:34:36.750
I watched it in a movie class maybe 15 years
726
00:34:36.809 --> 00:34:37.969
ago or something like that.
727
00:34:38.309 --> 00:34:42.829
I know that the critics love this movie.
728
00:34:43.170 --> 00:34:43.929
Gary, have you seen this?
729
00:34:44.010 --> 00:34:44.349
Matt?
730
00:34:44.369 --> 00:34:45.440
How much do they love it?
731
00:34:45.449 --> 00:34:46.170
I have not seen this.
732
00:34:46.289 --> 00:34:47.969
I don't think I've seen it either. Let me check
733
00:34:48.030 --> 00:34:49.590
Matt's letterbox.
734
00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:54.349
Really quick. Oh, you son of a bitch, Matt.
735
00:34:55.889 --> 00:34:59.690
So I, this movie came out in 1982.
736
00:34:59.690 --> 00:35:02.010
So my instinct is to say 82. Okay.
737
00:35:04.610 --> 00:35:05.949
Matt says 82.
738
00:35:05.949 --> 00:35:06.329
Gary.
739
00:35:09.690 --> 00:35:11.869
I seem to think there's a lot more critical love
740
00:35:11.909 --> 00:35:14.590
for this movie than maybe there was in audience love.
741
00:35:14.969 --> 00:35:17.230
I went up into the nineties. I did not think
742
00:35:17.269 --> 00:35:19.150
it was quite as high as a godfather. So I
743
00:35:19.170 --> 00:35:20.590
have written 94.
744
00:35:20.590 --> 00:35:21.679
94.
745
00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:23.840
And then Kalen, you saw it in movie class. What'd
746
00:35:23.860 --> 00:35:24.219
you think?
747
00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:27.139
I know that the critics love this movie. So yeah,
748
00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:29.719
it's a, it's a great movie. It's definitely a classic. Um,
749
00:35:29.900 --> 00:35:32.599
it did not breach the nineties for me though.
750
00:35:32.699 --> 00:35:33.039
I went 89.
751
00:35:33.030 --> 00:35:33.110
89.
752
00:35:33.099 --> 00:35:33.300
Okay.
753
00:35:33.360 --> 00:35:35.139
Diner is certified.
754
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:36.239
Fresh at 92%. Oh, it's.
755
00:35:37.780 --> 00:35:38.360
Off by 10.
756
00:35:38.340 --> 00:35:40.480
What'd you say Gary?
757
00:35:50.429 --> 00:35:53.250
I said 94, so I'm at a three.
758
00:35:53.369 --> 00:35:54.989
Oh, you're doing good, dude.
759
00:35:55.010 --> 00:35:56.219
So we're tied. We're tied right now.
760
00:35:57.239 --> 00:35:57.619
All right.
761
00:35:57.940 --> 00:35:59.840
But everything could change in the next round.
762
00:35:59.940 --> 00:36:02.760
That's true. That's why you got to play the game.
763
00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:05.679
August.
764
00:36:07.300 --> 00:36:11.559
There's a typo in this, Dylan. I'm not. August thinks.
765
00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:13.300
The whole.
766
00:36:13.420 --> 00:36:13.599
Read it.
767
00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:14.239
Read it as it's written.
768
00:36:14.260 --> 00:36:14.429
Okay.
769
00:36:17.739 --> 00:36:24.969
August things, the whole Marvel library sucks. Quote, same stupid
770
00:36:25.030 --> 00:36:31.190
movie over and over again. This film was catalyst for
771
00:36:31.429 --> 00:36:37.489
all of his hatred. The movie is 2008's Iron Man.
772
00:36:38.710 --> 00:36:39.889
Have you seen Iron Man, Kalen?
773
00:36:41.949 --> 00:36:42.929
What kind of question is that?
774
00:36:45.690 --> 00:36:48.300
I'm just hosting. I'm trying to keep the, Keep the
775
00:36:48.340 --> 00:36:51.269
conversation going. We have listeners while they're guessing as well.
776
00:36:51.789 --> 00:36:52.269
Iron Man.
777
00:36:52.429 --> 00:36:57.170
Yes, I've seen Iron Man maybe like probably I'll say
778
00:36:57.170 --> 00:36:57.849
11 times.
779
00:36:58.269 --> 00:36:59.769
Of the 11 times, which is your favorite?
780
00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:05.760
Probably the last one because at that point the universe
781
00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:09.460
had expanded so much that I was able to take
782
00:37:09.500 --> 00:37:11.119
in the greatness of the first one after.
783
00:37:11.460 --> 00:37:12.309
Don't stop distracting me.
784
00:37:12.320 --> 00:37:12.699
I've got to think.
785
00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:15.099
Oh, I see. I'm taking it seriously.
786
00:37:15.420 --> 00:37:16.280
Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
787
00:37:16.860 --> 00:37:18.980
Caitlin's still writing his and Matt, Matt's already turned over
788
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:19.400
the score.
789
00:37:19.420 --> 00:37:20.280
You're going to influence.
790
00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:20.659
Okay.
791
00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:21.179
Yeah, that's right.
792
00:37:21.219 --> 00:37:22.780
You can't go before they finish.
793
00:37:23.079 --> 00:37:24.699
You gotta, you gotta lock it in. Matt, what do
794
00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:25.659
you think of iron man?
795
00:37:26.929 --> 00:37:27.989
I think it's a great movie.
796
00:37:28.510 --> 00:37:32.369
I really enjoyed seeing it. I, uh, was not happy
797
00:37:32.409 --> 00:37:35.929
with the ultimate trajection of the Marvel project, but.
798
00:37:35.789 --> 00:37:36.809
Projection, huh?
799
00:37:37.590 --> 00:37:39.030
Projections on the right word.
800
00:37:39.570 --> 00:37:41.730
I thought you said trajectory trajectory.
801
00:37:41.880 --> 00:37:42.449
That's what I meant.
802
00:37:42.739 --> 00:37:43.019
Yeah.
803
00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:45.940
Look, either way, it's been going downhill for quite a
804
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:50.239
while now. Hopefully, X-Men saves it. Obviously, Spider-Man's the exception.
805
00:37:51.099 --> 00:37:53.199
Yeah, I mean, not as good as The Invite, which
806
00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:54.829
Matt gave four stars on Letterboxd.
807
00:37:54.849 --> 00:37:55.829
It's an excellent movie.
808
00:37:57.230 --> 00:37:59.949
But it had to have been better than Deathstalker. Are
809
00:37:59.969 --> 00:38:00.829
we locked in, Kaelin?
810
00:38:01.090 --> 00:38:01.519
I'm locked in.
811
00:38:01.670 --> 00:38:03.929
Okay, we're locked in. Please, Matt, go for it.
812
00:38:05.110 --> 00:38:06.320
I'm going to go with 93.
813
00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:06.639
93. Okay.
814
00:38:06.659 --> 00:38:06.800
Gary?
815
00:38:13.789 --> 00:38:17.230
I think that this is perhaps the best standalone Marvel movie.
816
00:38:17.650 --> 00:38:20.210
And I say that as like one with only one
817
00:38:20.269 --> 00:38:24.590
singular Marvel character in it. You know, obviously there's eventually
818
00:38:24.630 --> 00:38:28.050
the villain, but it's focused on one character. However, I
819
00:38:28.510 --> 00:38:31.030
do think the critics probably gave this a little shit
820
00:38:31.110 --> 00:38:34.170
because they want, you know, a little less CGI and a.
821
00:38:34.150 --> 00:38:35.050
Little less whatever.
822
00:38:35.070 --> 00:38:37.889
I love this movie. My personal score would be higher.
823
00:38:37.909 --> 00:38:41.039
I put that the critics gave it a 90.
824
00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:42.539
Ooh, that's still really high.
825
00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:43.480
That feels right.
826
00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:46.440
All right, Kalen.
827
00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:48.059
I should have gone higher.
828
00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:52.059
I think on initial release, the critics might have gone
829
00:38:52.139 --> 00:38:55.019
lower on it because it's a superhero movie.
830
00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:58.500
When did it come out?
831
00:38:58.500 --> 00:38:58.599
2008.
832
00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:00.880
Again, 10 years later when this game was probably played,
833
00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:04.579
the critics score and all the Marvel movies afterwards came out.
834
00:39:04.619 --> 00:39:06.519
It probably bumped it up a little bit by that point.
835
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:09.539
I was kind of thinking when it initially came out,
836
00:39:09.659 --> 00:39:13.960
I wrote 79 70.
837
00:39:14.289 --> 00:39:14.829
Chris, I'm sorry.
838
00:39:14.849 --> 00:39:17.869
Before we reveal the answer, do we know what August
839
00:39:17.969 --> 00:39:22.869
this was played in? Uh, guessing late 20.
840
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:24.050
2018, August, 2018.
841
00:39:24.050 --> 00:39:24.190
Okay.
842
00:39:24.530 --> 00:39:24.849
Wow.
843
00:39:25.289 --> 00:39:25.789
I guessed right.
844
00:39:25.829 --> 00:39:27.469
Yeah, I should have gone home. I was going to
845
00:39:27.489 --> 00:39:27.639
do 82.
846
00:39:27.630 --> 00:39:36.050
Um, 82 Iron Man Is certified fresh At 94% I'm
847
00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:38.920
done I'm.
848
00:39:37.929 --> 00:39:44.199
Back in the game I'm fucking done Let's see two.
849
00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:47.159
More Gary still got the lead here though.
850
00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:49.960
Not by much Next movie.
851
00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:54.820
The year before the Marvel Universe kicked off with Iron Man,
852
00:39:55.659 --> 00:39:59.579
a film was released that August thinks it was so good,
853
00:40:00.219 --> 00:40:08.219
even Woody Harrelson couldn't ruin it. In 2007, No Country
854
00:40:09.199 --> 00:40:16.800
for Old Men. I mean, all-timer. Kalen sounds like he's
855
00:40:16.820 --> 00:40:19.400
writing three digits if I can hear the pen to
856
00:40:19.420 --> 00:40:19.800
his paper.
857
00:40:20.219 --> 00:40:23.679
I can't take personal into this. I need to think
858
00:40:23.719 --> 00:40:24.380
about the critics.
859
00:40:25.900 --> 00:40:27.219
Um, this is a five star.
860
00:40:27.300 --> 00:40:29.460
I need to nail it. I need to nail this debt.
861
00:40:29.539 --> 00:40:30.889
It will be when I rewatch it.
862
00:40:31.119 --> 00:40:31.360
Yeah.
863
00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:32.340
I'm going to go.
864
00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:32.429
God.
865
00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:34.559
Yeah.
866
00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:35.800
I need this deduction right now.
867
00:40:35.820 --> 00:40:37.449
Okay.
868
00:40:38.730 --> 00:40:39.730
All right, Matt.
869
00:40:40.469 --> 00:40:41.449
Hold on. He's not locked.
870
00:40:41.510 --> 00:40:41.690
Yeah.
871
00:40:41.829 --> 00:40:42.130
I'm locked.
872
00:40:42.570 --> 00:40:44.550
Caleb's locked. All right.
873
00:40:45.170 --> 00:40:48.570
This is, as Chris said, it's essentially, it's a five
874
00:40:48.610 --> 00:40:51.159
star movie. I haven't rewatched it, so I have not
875
00:40:51.260 --> 00:40:54.039
logged it on my Letterboxd. I'm not going back and
876
00:40:54.059 --> 00:40:56.039
just logging every movie. I have to watch the movie
877
00:40:56.139 --> 00:40:58.340
since I've been doing the list. That's why I do that.
878
00:40:58.820 --> 00:40:59.860
I like that he has a code.
879
00:41:00.500 --> 00:41:01.039
It's a code.
880
00:41:01.659 --> 00:41:03.400
It's like Kalen not accepting coins.
881
00:41:04.139 --> 00:41:05.480
Anyway, No Country for Old Men.
882
00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:09.610
I am once again going to guess 97.
883
00:41:09.610 --> 00:41:11.469
And this time, I'm going to be nuts on.
884
00:41:12.630 --> 00:41:14.170
Oh, nuts on. He's calling it.
885
00:41:14.690 --> 00:41:16.469
I feel I just got to show mine before I
886
00:41:16.489 --> 00:41:18.150
can be alleged or accused of anything else.
887
00:41:18.150 --> 00:41:21.800
97. You guys are just 97.
888
00:41:21.789 --> 00:41:23.590
You're bonded by 97s.
889
00:41:23.989 --> 00:41:25.869
I guess I'm playing a little bit of the low
890
00:41:25.909 --> 00:41:29.420
game here. I went 93, crossed it out, went 94.
891
00:41:29.420 --> 00:41:30.599
Okay.
892
00:41:33.980 --> 00:41:38.480
No country for old men is certified fresh.
893
00:41:39.659 --> 00:41:40.440
Come on, baby.
894
00:41:40.519 --> 00:41:42.500
Come on.
895
00:41:42.519 --> 00:41:43.519
At 93%, Kalen.
896
00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:50.889
I guess I should say one certified freshman. I needed it.
897
00:41:51.010 --> 00:41:52.489
I needed it. I needed it.
898
00:41:52.530 --> 00:41:53.289
Kalen, you had that.
899
00:41:53.309 --> 00:41:53.449
Fuck.
900
00:41:53.789 --> 00:41:56.050
You had that. God damn it.
901
00:41:56.730 --> 00:41:58.650
It was because I went low on Iron Man that
902
00:41:58.690 --> 00:42:01.050
it fucked my head up with No Country, and I
903
00:42:01.090 --> 00:42:02.230
had to... Damn it.
904
00:42:02.570 --> 00:42:03.570
All right, our fifth film.
905
00:42:04.250 --> 00:42:08.679
Continuing with his disdain for the Marvel Universe... Mike August,
906
00:42:08.840 --> 00:42:16.090
in particular, hates this sequel to Thor. The film is
907
00:42:16.250 --> 00:42:21.070
2013's Tho, The Dark World.
908
00:42:23.659 --> 00:42:26.039
That was the second one, Thor 2? Yeah.
909
00:42:26.760 --> 00:42:29.119
Thor 2, The Dark World.
910
00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:32.489
They had a perfect opportunity to just say... Thor, but
911
00:42:32.530 --> 00:42:35.090
make the T a two like they always do.
912
00:42:35.630 --> 00:42:38.630
Oh, that would work. Maybe there's a movie poster that
913
00:42:38.670 --> 00:42:38.949
did it.
914
00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:42.980
R is not a substitute. Two is not a substitute
915
00:42:43.019 --> 00:42:43.190
for R.
916
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:47.110
That's not for the T for the T just graph
917
00:42:47.139 --> 00:42:48.050
for the graphic.
918
00:42:48.340 --> 00:42:50.050
Still, but two is not a sub.
919
00:42:50.070 --> 00:42:53.090
If you saw the number two, you put like a three.
920
00:42:52.690 --> 00:42:54.559
In place of an E like, yeah, I get it.
921
00:42:54.610 --> 00:42:56.650
But that doesn't make any sense.
922
00:42:56.889 --> 00:42:58.849
I did not come up with this. It is in
923
00:42:59.190 --> 00:43:02.969
a million marketing campaigns. Don't even get me started.
924
00:43:03.190 --> 00:43:04.809
What about two Thor, two serious?
925
00:43:06.170 --> 00:43:09.389
Thank you. All right.
926
00:43:09.489 --> 00:43:09.809
All right.
927
00:43:10.070 --> 00:43:10.750
Let me see here.
928
00:43:10.829 --> 00:43:12.110
What, what year was this movie again?
929
00:43:12.820 --> 00:43:18.050
From 2013, starring Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman.
930
00:43:18.469 --> 00:43:19.190
Natalie Portman.
931
00:43:19.230 --> 00:43:19.750
I'm locked in.
932
00:43:20.130 --> 00:43:21.849
I'm locked in. Okay.
933
00:43:22.090 --> 00:43:25.989
This, I know, is not loved. It's not just Mike August.
934
00:43:26.030 --> 00:43:30.280
This is one of the lower-rated Thor movies. I kind
935
00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:33.579
of just blacked out, and then Ghost wrote a number,
936
00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:35.380
and I looked at it, and it said 43.
937
00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:36.900
And that feels right.
938
00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:37.159
Wow.
939
00:43:39.690 --> 00:43:41.300
Yeah, I mean, it was definitely not one of the
940
00:43:41.610 --> 00:43:43.920
more loved Thor movies. I remember they did a lot
941
00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:45.460
of tone changes with this franchise.
942
00:43:45.579 --> 00:43:48.800
Matt, you're forgetting how the game was played. I mean,
943
00:43:48.840 --> 00:43:51.150
we were all there for decades. You're kind of holding
944
00:43:51.269 --> 00:43:53.550
on to maybe a lead or a tie right now.
945
00:43:54.110 --> 00:43:56.809
You went a little bit extreme on this one. I
946
00:43:56.829 --> 00:43:58.409
feel like you should have held on. I think you
947
00:43:58.429 --> 00:44:00.719
should have played it a little bit closer to the best. Okay.
948
00:44:01.969 --> 00:44:02.449
All right, Gary.
949
00:44:02.469 --> 00:44:04.170
It's making me feel like shit about my bed.
950
00:44:04.289 --> 00:44:07.760
All right, I think this is not a good movie,
951
00:44:08.039 --> 00:44:12.519
but this was still in the heyday of the Marvel Universe.
952
00:44:12.539 --> 00:44:15.030
It was still strong. It had not started to fall
953
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:19.429
off yet. I think I'm probably a little high, but
954
00:44:19.690 --> 00:44:21.389
I think I'm probably closer than Matt.
955
00:44:21.570 --> 00:44:21.889
I said.
956
00:44:21.889 --> 00:44:22.750
88.
957
00:44:22.750 --> 00:44:23.599
88?
958
00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:25.360
You blew it, bro.
959
00:44:25.550 --> 00:44:26.869
You had it and you blew it.
960
00:44:27.250 --> 00:44:28.929
I might be back in this, fellas. I might be
961
00:44:28.949 --> 00:44:33.130
back in this. Pretty much the same sentiment that Gary said.
962
00:44:33.309 --> 00:44:36.130
Still in the Marvel Universe. Not good, but it got
963
00:44:36.170 --> 00:44:36.849
a little love there.
964
00:44:36.929 --> 00:44:39.670
I went 74. Come on, baby.
965
00:44:39.809 --> 00:44:42.539
Bring me that win. Bring me that win.
966
00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:46.500
Do we have a tiebreaker that we can play also
967
00:44:46.579 --> 00:44:47.280
just for funsies?
968
00:44:47.340 --> 00:44:47.440
No.
969
00:44:48.329 --> 00:44:50.469
Dylan did not provide a tiebreaker.
970
00:44:50.489 --> 00:44:52.389
Come on. You always got it.
971
00:44:54.510 --> 00:44:54.889
Okay.
972
00:44:55.449 --> 00:44:59.289
Thor, the Dark World, is fresh.
973
00:45:00.289 --> 00:45:00.389
Ugh.
974
00:45:01.670 --> 00:45:03.849
At 66%.
975
00:45:03.849 --> 00:45:04.849
Oh, fuck.
976
00:45:05.889 --> 00:45:06.670
Oh, shit.
977
00:45:06.909 --> 00:45:08.269
I think Cailin may have just taken it.
978
00:45:08.289 --> 00:45:11.469
No, I was too low on fucking Iron Man.
979
00:45:11.510 --> 00:45:13.409
So, if we tallied up the scores.
980
00:45:14.289 --> 00:45:15.809
Yeah, someone else doing that, because I don't even know
981
00:45:15.829 --> 00:45:16.730
how to do the math on that.
982
00:45:16.829 --> 00:45:17.199
I have it.
983
00:45:17.210 --> 00:45:18.510
The computer's doing it.
984
00:45:18.550 --> 00:45:19.769
I have it. I have it.
985
00:45:19.829 --> 00:45:22.989
Have you asked Claude, is this verifiably true?
986
00:45:23.030 --> 00:45:24.590
Jarvis is doing it for us.
987
00:45:25.300 --> 00:45:29.400
I can ask Claude? Okay.
988
00:45:31.579 --> 00:45:36.039
In third place, with a score of 39. That's a
989
00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:37.750
third place score. Not a bad third place score.
990
00:45:38.269 --> 00:45:43.070
Not bad. I've seen some higher ones. Matt Fondolier.
991
00:45:43.070 --> 00:45:45.070
39.
992
00:45:45.070 --> 00:45:47.550
Thank God, not last.
993
00:45:47.670 --> 00:45:49.210
There's that last one that got you.
994
00:45:49.630 --> 00:45:50.710
Thank God, not last.
995
00:45:52.909 --> 00:45:57.909
And there is only a five-point differential between first and
996
00:45:57.969 --> 00:46:03.929
second place and a six-point differential between second and third.
997
00:46:03.989 --> 00:46:06.880
So it's very tight. You guys are all right in there.
998
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:11.199
But I'll just announce the winner because he deserves to
999
00:46:11.239 --> 00:46:15.000
have his name said. in first place with a score
1000
00:46:15.019 --> 00:46:22.579
of 28, Kalen Bean. Wow. That's right. Gary had 33.
1001
00:46:22.579 --> 00:46:25.989
It was the last round that did it. Gary, um,
1002
00:46:26.469 --> 00:46:31.130
got a 22 extra point point bump there while Kalen
1003
00:46:31.170 --> 00:46:34.590
only had eight. So boom.
1004
00:46:34.710 --> 00:46:36.050
Congratulations, Kalen.
1005
00:46:36.250 --> 00:46:39.460
Thank you. Um, I'm very glad. It's a good win.
1006
00:46:39.519 --> 00:46:41.510
It's a good win. I feel great. Yeah, I mean.
1007
00:46:41.690 --> 00:46:42.389
You didn't even need them.
1008
00:46:42.449 --> 00:46:44.929
Again, I thought I was even going to be higher
1009
00:46:44.969 --> 00:46:47.469
than that and the fact that. I'm going up against
1010
00:46:47.489 --> 00:46:49.969
a minus 16 right now is just, and I would
1011
00:46:50.050 --> 00:46:52.769
also like to point out that after Brian got the
1012
00:46:52.829 --> 00:46:59.449
minus 16, he created his own fridge magnet commemorating his score,
1013
00:46:59.510 --> 00:47:03.110
like a custom fridge magnet that he stuck on the
1014
00:47:03.190 --> 00:47:06.280
Corolla fridge and it lived there. I feel as long
1015
00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:09.019
as I fucking work there, you would always see ball. Yeah.
1016
00:47:09.820 --> 00:47:10.280
Is it still there?
1017
00:47:10.300 --> 00:47:12.099
It's still there. They brought it up on the show.
1018
00:47:12.139 --> 00:47:13.079
They brought it into the studio.
1019
00:47:13.099 --> 00:47:14.280
They brought it into the studio.
1020
00:47:14.440 --> 00:47:16.420
Adam had someone grab it and run it in the
1021
00:47:16.460 --> 00:47:19.679
studio in the middle of the show. I will say
1022
00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:21.880
that was made by a fan. That was not Brian
1023
00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:23.739
who went to the magnet store.
1024
00:47:24.639 --> 00:47:25.780
I wouldn't put it past him.
1025
00:47:25.860 --> 00:47:27.320
I wouldn't put it past him.
1026
00:47:29.659 --> 00:47:31.659
He did bring it in and stick it on the fridge.
1027
00:47:32.260 --> 00:47:34.469
As long as we're telling magnet stories, I will say
1028
00:47:34.510 --> 00:47:37.570
that I still distinctly remember when Adam had the piano
1029
00:47:37.630 --> 00:47:40.420
tuner magnet made. And I think that was also made
1030
00:47:40.460 --> 00:47:43.440
by a fan, but it came in. And Brian once
1031
00:47:43.500 --> 00:47:46.489
said on the show that while we were playing in
1032
00:47:46.510 --> 00:47:49.969
the Corolla Fantasy League that year, that whoever lost and
1033
00:47:50.010 --> 00:47:52.230
came in last place that week in fantasy, they were
1034
00:47:52.250 --> 00:47:54.269
going to have to put that magnet on the car.
1035
00:47:55.050 --> 00:47:57.670
And he said it live on the show. And I
1036
00:47:57.710 --> 00:48:00.429
think in his mind, that meant it was law. And
1037
00:48:01.010 --> 00:48:03.130
that first week I was in last place and Brian
1038
00:48:03.170 --> 00:48:06.750
grabbed that magnet towards my car and I fucking flipped
1039
00:48:06.869 --> 00:48:11.030
out on him. Was he putting it anywhere near my
1040
00:48:11.090 --> 00:48:15.190
goddamn car? And Brian was very confused at that reaction.
1041
00:48:15.829 --> 00:48:18.489
And I've been thinking about that a lot this week.
1042
00:48:19.750 --> 00:48:20.110
Yeah.
1043
00:48:20.730 --> 00:48:22.769
The same magnet stories for days.
1044
00:48:22.789 --> 00:48:26.670
Look, All right, so we're going to do a Patreon
1045
00:48:26.710 --> 00:48:30.190
episode later this week, and we'll jump in a fondle ween, Matt,
1046
00:48:31.030 --> 00:48:32.389
for Patreon, if that's all right with you.
1047
00:48:32.889 --> 00:48:33.139
Sure.
1048
00:48:34.050 --> 00:48:35.239
And amongst other things.
1049
00:48:35.380 --> 00:48:39.739
We got stuff to get into, but just once again,
1050
00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:43.260
I just want to say, you know, just give everybody
1051
00:48:43.320 --> 00:48:47.780
here and everybody listening just a hug from afar.
1052
00:48:48.960 --> 00:48:52.139
It's been a heavy weekend, but my.
1053
00:48:52.730 --> 00:48:55.300
Favorite thing about all of this is that we got
1054
00:48:55.320 --> 00:48:57.559
to laugh a lot just thinking about the old times.
1055
00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:00.239
I just wanted to say that being with you guys
1056
00:49:00.300 --> 00:49:03.980
and just sharing the memories again has brought a lot
1057
00:49:04.019 --> 00:49:05.619
of joy to what's happened.
1058
00:49:05.639 --> 00:49:07.539
Yeah, I mean.
1059
00:49:08.550 --> 00:49:08.820
Me too.
1060
00:49:08.860 --> 00:49:10.130
I've been looking forward to this all week.
1061
00:49:10.190 --> 00:49:11.590
I'm glad that we were able to do this.
1062
00:49:12.090 --> 00:49:17.530
Yeah. And Christy definitely wants to do some sort of
1063
00:49:17.889 --> 00:49:22.869
Corolla family meetup. as well so um i assured her
1064
00:49:22.889 --> 00:49:26.139
that we will and um yeah i mean this is
1065
00:49:26.340 --> 00:49:29.280
a you know this is a a blow to uh
1066
00:49:29.480 --> 00:49:33.420
to the fam but um but you know all the
1067
00:49:33.460 --> 00:49:36.099
listeners out there who've been listening to the show to
1068
00:49:36.119 --> 00:49:37.980
the coral show for years all the years that they
1069
00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:40.980
did um you know, they have every right to feel
1070
00:49:41.579 --> 00:49:45.550
as close and as, as bummed about all of this because, um, yeah,
1071
00:49:45.619 --> 00:49:49.030
you were with us the whole time too. So, um, yeah,
1072
00:49:49.230 --> 00:49:53.530
big hugs from us. Um, and, and we appreciate you. Uh,
1073
00:49:53.550 --> 00:49:56.449
all right. So we'll get patron started in just a moment.
1074
00:49:56.489 --> 00:49:58.519
I'll go around the horn, get our plugs in. I'll
1075
00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:02.440
start off with Gary. Gary, is there something you want to, uh,
1076
00:50:02.619 --> 00:50:03.760
give a shout out to?
1077
00:50:04.079 --> 00:50:04.340
Yeah.
1078
00:50:04.619 --> 00:50:08.449
Uh, Watch for screenings of the new documentary growth that
1079
00:50:08.489 --> 00:50:10.630
will be coming to your town. The, the one that's
1080
00:50:10.949 --> 00:50:13.750
happening this weekend in Los Angeles is thankfully sold out.
1081
00:50:15.110 --> 00:50:17.230
We're all going to be there to celebrate him, but
1082
00:50:17.250 --> 00:50:19.510
there will be other screenings coming around town. And then
1083
00:50:19.550 --> 00:50:21.570
eventually I would hope that it will get a wide
1084
00:50:21.590 --> 00:50:23.750
release or at least be available to buy or rent
1085
00:50:23.829 --> 00:50:27.590
on digital. And I encourage everyone to, you know, find
1086
00:50:27.630 --> 00:50:29.929
a dark room and rent that thing and watch it.
1087
00:50:30.010 --> 00:50:32.050
I'm sure it's going to make me choked up as
1088
00:50:32.090 --> 00:50:34.250
Chris said earlier. And I'm very happy that I'll be
1089
00:50:34.269 --> 00:50:36.489
in a dark theater for that when that happens. But
1090
00:50:36.590 --> 00:50:39.570
I'm looking forward to seeing the movie and supporting the
1091
00:50:39.690 --> 00:50:43.409
Bishop family and just keep sending the love to, to
1092
00:50:44.030 --> 00:50:47.340
Christie and all those Brian left behind. It was, he
1093
00:50:47.380 --> 00:50:49.619
was loved by many, both in the audience and he
1094
00:50:49.659 --> 00:50:52.099
had a very strong family all around him who are,
1095
00:50:52.179 --> 00:50:54.300
I'm sure hurting way more than any of us could be.
1096
00:50:54.400 --> 00:50:57.099
So keep sending that love and thank you guys all for,
1097
00:50:57.610 --> 00:50:59.559
All the support and all the people who reached out
1098
00:50:59.579 --> 00:51:03.280
to us directly, as Chris said earlier. You know, I
1099
00:51:03.300 --> 00:51:06.139
learned this week that now if you email my old
1100
00:51:06.380 --> 00:51:10.239
Corolla email, it gives you my personal Gmail. So I've
1101
00:51:11.360 --> 00:51:14.260
had a few people reach out to me that I
1102
00:51:14.300 --> 00:51:17.900
was not necessarily expecting. So thanks to whoever changed that.
1103
00:51:21.889 --> 00:51:24.469
but no, no, I have every single message I've gotten.
1104
00:51:24.570 --> 00:51:26.769
I have appreciated it and I have tried to reply
1105
00:51:26.789 --> 00:51:29.389
to people. So thank you guys all for reaching out.
1106
00:51:29.809 --> 00:51:32.489
I thought that was funny though. So, um, yeah, just
1107
00:51:32.510 --> 00:51:34.869
send love to the bishops and the, uh, the extended
1108
00:51:34.909 --> 00:51:35.469
Bishop clan.
1109
00:51:35.869 --> 00:51:38.150
Couldn't agree more. All right, Matt, what about you?
1110
00:51:38.809 --> 00:51:42.050
Yeah, just honestly, Gary, my personal Gmail.
1111
00:51:45.219 --> 00:51:47.300
Uh, I mean, Gary, you said it beautifully. I just
1112
00:51:47.320 --> 00:51:49.679
feel like, I echo everything that you're saying. It feels
1113
00:51:49.739 --> 00:51:52.340
weird to also plug our Patreon during this.
1114
00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:53.739
So I'm not going to do that.
1115
00:51:53.760 --> 00:51:58.869
You know, someone had to do it, Matt. The people
1116
00:51:58.889 --> 00:51:59.969
need their fondling.
1117
00:52:00.050 --> 00:52:00.429
Yeah.
1118
00:52:00.469 --> 00:52:04.230
Yeah. Anyway.
1119
00:52:04.250 --> 00:52:06.530
Yeah. Just, I'll just take the time to say thank
1120
00:52:06.550 --> 00:52:09.010
you to the whole community of everybody at this is
1121
00:52:09.130 --> 00:52:11.769
like you said, it's a time for, it's a sad time,
1122
00:52:11.809 --> 00:52:14.750
but it also like, it's great to bring everybody together
1123
00:52:14.769 --> 00:52:16.110
in a way and to kind of share all these
1124
00:52:16.170 --> 00:52:19.480
memories and, Part of that is you guys here on
1125
00:52:19.519 --> 00:52:22.929
this show, and part of it are the people within
1126
00:52:22.989 --> 00:52:26.150
the outer community that listened to our show and listened
1127
00:52:26.170 --> 00:52:29.289
to Carolla's show and created that whole community. So I
1128
00:52:29.909 --> 00:52:33.030
want everyone to plug themselves. That's what I'm trying to say.
1129
00:52:33.050 --> 00:52:34.489
Love it.
1130
00:52:35.110 --> 00:52:36.530
And Kalen, what about you?
1131
00:52:37.780 --> 00:52:40.380
Uh, Patreon movie club this week, uh, speed. No, I'm
1132
00:52:40.400 --> 00:52:40.679
just kidding.
1133
00:52:41.340 --> 00:52:43.320
Um, no, go back and listen to some old Adam
1134
00:52:43.340 --> 00:52:46.329
Carolla show episodes, you know, I mean, at least from
1135
00:52:46.389 --> 00:52:48.710
when I was there and before we're talking to 2010s, um,
1136
00:52:49.809 --> 00:52:52.070
there's obviously a lot of them, but you can always, uh,
1137
00:52:52.849 --> 00:52:55.429
go quickly to the ACE awards that had the best drops.
1138
00:52:55.449 --> 00:52:59.369
Those always came out and from December. So you can
1139
00:52:59.409 --> 00:53:04.090
kind of easily find those ones. Uh, and Giovanni, you know, does, um,
1140
00:53:04.719 --> 00:53:06.280
You know, good work with the Crow Classics there.
1141
00:53:06.300 --> 00:53:09.320
But yeah, just go back and re-listen to some old episodes.
1142
00:53:09.639 --> 00:53:12.300
Get some good drops. Get some more bold in your life.
1143
00:53:13.719 --> 00:53:17.539
I agree. Yeah, so check out Brian's book, Shrinkage. Check
1144
00:53:17.579 --> 00:53:20.929

1145
00:53:20.989 --> 00:53:23.170
Nobody Tells Us. I mean, she did that in the
1146
00:53:23.269 --> 00:53:27.909
midst of being Brian's caregiver and did a lot of
1147
00:53:28.010 --> 00:53:29.030
really wonderful interviews.
1148
00:53:29.449 --> 00:53:32.730
She had her own wonderful segment on Shrinkage. The show.
1149
00:53:32.769 --> 00:53:33.650
Commercial grade.
1150
00:53:33.710 --> 00:53:33.869
Yeah.

Commercial grade.
1152
00:53:34.769 --> 00:53:35.090
Yeah.
1153
00:53:35.150 --> 00:53:36.650
That's yeah. She used to come and do that all
1154
00:53:36.670 --> 00:53:37.349
the time.
1155
00:53:37.469 --> 00:53:38.269
Um, yeah.
1156
00:53:38.469 --> 00:53:41.469
So just, uh, if you want to shout, uh, Christie out,
1157
00:53:41.489 --> 00:53:43.889
you can follow her on Instagram at pardon my crumbs.
1158
00:53:44.150 --> 00:53:44.550
That's right.
1159
00:53:45.269 --> 00:53:50.349
And, and yeah, just, I was talking to Jen about like,
1160
00:53:50.510 --> 00:53:51.599
there has to be more than we could do.
1161
00:53:51.610 --> 00:53:52.380
There's more we could do.
1162
00:53:52.570 --> 00:53:57.019
And what she, she basically said, look, and I'm talking
1163
00:53:57.039 --> 00:54:01.769
about my wife, Jen is, um, she said it's, look,
1164
00:54:01.789 --> 00:54:03.250
she's going to get a lot of support now, but
1165
00:54:03.630 --> 00:54:05.429
also let's be the ones that are there for her
1166
00:54:05.789 --> 00:54:07.489
three months from now, six months from now, nine months
1167
00:54:07.510 --> 00:54:09.110
from now, just reaching out and just checking in on
1168
00:54:09.139 --> 00:54:12.559
her because that's, that's when it's going to really, really
1169
00:54:12.619 --> 00:54:16.260
mean a lot too. So, because I mean, unfortunately, as
1170
00:54:16.280 --> 00:54:20.400
all this stuff happens, you get, you get bombarded, not bombarded,
1171
00:54:20.440 --> 00:54:23.250
but you get a lot of outpouring support right at
1172
00:54:23.269 --> 00:54:24.929
the beginning and then it starts to fade away, but
1173
00:54:24.949 --> 00:54:27.230
let's not let that be us. Like let's, let's check
1174
00:54:27.289 --> 00:54:30.090
in on her and the bishops a lot more often
1175
00:54:30.130 --> 00:54:35.519
because I mean, This is going to be a tough one. So, yeah.

00:54:35.559 --> 00:54:38.300
Pardon my crumbs is her IG.
1177
00:54:38.840 --> 00:54:39.159
All right.

00:54:41.300 --> 00:54:43.090
Thanks again to everybody for hanging out with us. Thank

you for listening. Thank you for supporting us. We'll be

1182
00:54:48.210 --> 00:54:52.869
watch Speed for Movie Club. I'm on Letterboxd and Matt
1183
00:54:53.210 --> 00:54:56.530
has not put up a score yet. And I'm very
1184
00:54:56.550 --> 00:54:57.099
upset about it.
1185
00:54:57.349 --> 00:54:57.489
So.
1186
00:54:58.030 --> 00:55:00.590
Although I pretty much know what it's going to be
1187
00:55:00.610 --> 00:55:01.489
or at least what it should be.
1188
00:55:01.510 --> 00:55:02.110
All right.
1189
00:55:02.139 --> 00:55:04.719
We'll see you later. We'll see you later this week.
1190
00:55:04.739 --> 00:55:05.639
We love you.
1191
00:55:05.920 --> 00:55:06.219
Goodbye.
