Episode Overview

In this lively, joke-packed installment of Funny You Ask, host Ike Barinholtz welcomes the inimitable Sam Richardson (Veep, Detroiters, The Afterparty) to test his trivia chops on his chosen (and somewhat random) obsessions: 80s and 90s cartoons, video games, and a melange of hodgepodge questions. The pair dive deep into nostalgia, swap wild Hollywood stories, and riff endlessly about everything from animated crushes to the Detroit Lions and Duolingo streaks. The laughs are constant, the trivia surprisingly cutthroat, and, as always, the points don’t matter.

Key Discussion Points & Highlights

1. Warm-Up & Hollywood Encounters

[03:04–11:28]

• Sam’s “Hodgepodge” Category: Instead of picking three standard trivia topics, Sam requests a random mix—"I panicked about the first two... Dealer’s choice. What Jeopardy would call a potpourri." (Richardson, 03:04)
• Working with Ike on The Afterparty: They share pandemic filming memories, including FaceTiming to watch the action movie Den of Thieves after wrapping the season.
• Gerard Butler Story: Sam recounts an epic backstage encounter with Gerard Butler, who gives him two out of three life lessons for action movies—and then gets cut off before finishing, leaving Sam hanging for the “most important” tip.
  • Memorable Moment: “Months, almost a year later... I didn’t ask for the third piece of advice... That’s that.” (Richardson, 10:43)
• Singing the “Family Matters” Theme Acapella for Gerard Butler: Sam panics, then charms the crowd with his rendition to everyone’s delight.

---

2. Cartoon Obsessions & Animated Nostalgia

[13:12–30:28]

• Thundercats Deep Dive

  • Sam flawlessly answers trivia about the show’s villains, Snarf, and obscure mutant characters.
  • Quote: “You could ask me anything about Thundercats, I’d have told you. I got nervous and I was like, oh, okay, here we go.” (Richardson, 14:05)
  • The pair riff on childhood terminology: "'Snarfing' in the bathtub" leads into a playful, almost scientific fart analysis.

• Favorites of 80s/90s Cartoons

  • Nicktoons: Doug, Rugrats, You Can’t Do That on Television, and Double Dare.
  • Quote: “I wanted to do Double Dare so bad... My dad would be like, no, we lose.” (Richardson, 21:33)
  • The strange appeal of shows like The Snorks ("the Smurfs, but underwater, with dicks on their heads"), DuckTales’ capitalist allegories, and baby-fying everything (“Muppet Babies. Done. Animaniacs. We got you, DuckTales. We're fucking good.” — Barinholtz, 29:34)
  • Inappropriate cartoon crushes (“Mine was Gadget from Rescue Rangers... straight up mouse... but she had a perfect ass.” — Richardson, 28:06)

• Cartoon Revivals and Problematic Content

  • Acknowledging the problematic (racist, sexist) elements of classic cartoons and the hesitancy to share them with a new generation.
  • “There’s a Betty Boop clip I remember seeing where I was like, this is unacceptable.” (Barinholtz, 19:14)

---

3. Video Games: From Atari to Grand Theft Auto

[38:08–47:39]

• Early Gaming Roots: Sam started with an Atari 2600; Ike reflects on friends’ Nintendos and a deep love for Civilization on PC.
  • Sid Meier’s Civilization: “It’s good for kids. You learn how to conquer, you learn history... but then you also have to feed people.” (Richardson, 40:48)
• Video Game Trivia:
  • Contra’s release year and the legendary Konami Code. Sam misses the exact code but nails the spirit.
  • Tetris as the best-selling game ever, Minecraft as the runner-up, and anticipation for Grand Theft Auto 6’s release.
• First-person Shooters and Gaming Culture
  • Complex feelings about games’ impact: “I think two things can be true... it’s one of the most fun things you can do... And it’s bad for society.” (Barinholtz, 44:17)
• Modern Gaming Complexity: Discussing how current games are almost impenetrably complex to newcomers (“It’s like going from a flat bicycle tire to an F1 car.” — Barinholtz, 47:31)
• "Cheat Code": Movie Pitch:
  • Ike pitches Sam a comedy about a useless gamer-slacker who discovers life has actual cheat codes.

4. Pop Quiz Showdown

[56:10–68:54]

Sam’s Hodgepodge

• Detroit Lions: Sam aces Detroit trivia, including Calvin Johnson’s (Megatron) record-setting career and the heartbreak of the 2023 NFC Championship loss.
  • Quote/Story: “At the half, everybody was like, where are you gonna stay in Vegas when we go? I was like, guys, what are you doing?” (Richardson, 57:18)
• Favorite Detroit Athletes: Wrestling with the Isaiah Thomas vs. Barry Sanders debate; tales of classic Pistons era and how Bulls fans once wished for "a nuclear bomb to fall on Detroit" during the rivalry (Barinholtz, 60:07).
• Dennis Rodman’s Filmography:
  • “What 1997 action film did Dennis Rodman star in with Jean Claude Van Damme?”
  • Double Team is correctly answered, leading to jokes about 90s hacker stereotypes and the absurdity of “Simon Sez” (Rodman and Dane Cook).
• Language Learning Trophies:
  • Sam boasts a legendary 900+ day Duolingo streak before missing a week: “And I was pissed.” (Richardson, 51:56)
  • Jokes about learning Klingon and the unlikelihood of it ever paying off in real life.

---

5. Mutual Riffing: Learning, Memes, and More

Throughout

• On Learning Klingon via Duolingo:
  • "If you are spending time doing duolingo and you're learning Klingon... you're picking up trash on the side of the freeway." (Barinholtz, 52:30)

  • The Arthur cartoon’s “famous fist meme” comes up during the speed round ([71:32])
  • Discussion of prank call legends Jerky Boys and the death of “good” pranking.
  • The excesses of YouTube “pranksters” are met with mock horror (“If you do YouTube pranks, you’re going to the jail from Face/Off—with the magnetic boots!” — Barinholtz, 37:03)
• Detroit Sports Heartbreak and Triumph:
  • “Detroit tough, baby, we take a nuclear bomb, you shrug that shit off, baby. What up, though?” (Richardson, 60:37)
• "I Think You Should Leave":
  • Ike’s 12-year-old is obsessed, and Sam confirms more episodes are on the way: “As long as I get new I Think You Should Leave every 16 months, I’m kind of okay with that.” (Barinholtz, 66:26)

Trivia Speed Round

[68:59–72:15]

• Sam answers a gauntlet of rapid-fire questions — including everything from the Animaniacs and Double Dragon to the Detroit Lions.

  • Lightning round highlight: “What cartoon gave us the famous fist meme?” “Arthur.” (Barinholtz, 71:32)

• Ike’s turn in the hot seat covers Nobel Prize winners, European rivers, rock hall of fame inductees, and the fastest mammal.

  • “What is the only mammal capable of true flight?” “Bat.” (Corrected after a fumble, 74:50)

---

Closing

• Sam wins the speed round and receives a legit (non-gag!) sweatshirt prize instead of the previously-teased bricks of uncut narcotics.
• Final mutual appreciation of Detroit’s sports/food culture and commitment to not give up on learning random things (but probably not Klingon).
• Sam teases a forthcoming Star Trek appearance and confirms more I Think You Should Leave is on the way.

---

Takeaway

This episode brims with chaotic energy, camaraderie, and relentless humor as Ike and Sam channel their encyclopedic (and sometimes suspect) trivia brains. It’s a nostalgia-fueled celebration of the joy in knowing random stuff, a loving roast of childhood obsessions, and a crash course in how being funny is as important as being right. If you ever wanted to hear two comedy pros geek out over Thundercats and Tetris, while also plotting Detroit’s sports redemption and life’s greatest cheat codes—this is your episode.

[Sam Richardson]

a lot of it wouldn't have stopped us.

[Mike Mitchell]

One of these days people will watch this show or listen to this podcast and be like, he knows trivia.

[Sam Richardson]

You know what? They watch Jeopardy. And they know that or they don't

[Mike Mitchell]

and they are just like the guy from the studio is a dumbass. Leo Durocher is said to have originated the phrase nice guys finish last. And if that adage is true, then the man sitting next to me will never ever win a race.

[Sam Richardson]

Damn.

[Mike Mitchell]

He's also a beloved actor from the TV series Veep and co creator of the show Detroiters and is just one of the funniest guys on the planet. He also says he knows a little bit about 80s and 90s cartoons and video games. Yeah. Sam Richardson, welcome to Funny you ask.

[Sam Richardson]

The Sound version of eagle eyed or even dog eared.

[Mike Mitchell]

Dog ear. But dog eared sounds like a book.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah, that's true. They take notes.

[Mike Mitchell]

They do take notes. Dog eared listeners.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah. They use, like sonar.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah, it's echolocation.

[Sam Richardson]

Echolocation.

[Mike Mitchell]

Echolocators of this show.

[Sam Richardson]

They know where we're sitting.

[Mike Mitchell]

They know exactly where we're sitting. They will notice. I only named two categories because normally we do. We ask our guests, what are three categories? And you said to me, just do a hodgepodge.

[Sam Richardson]

Hodgepodge. I panicked about the first two.

[Mike Mitchell]

Dealer's choice. What Jeopardy. Would call a potpourri.

[Sam Richardson]

Potpourri.

[Mike Mitchell]

A melange, if you will. It's a bespoke tidbit.

[Sam Richardson]

Bespoke. Okay.

[Mike Mitchell]

It's a bespoke blend of various tidbits and topics.

[Sam Richardson]

Okay.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah, that's what we're going with right here.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah. I've never. I am nervous.

[Mike Mitchell]

A lot of people. Whenever Seth Meyers was flat out rude, quite frankly. It's like, I don't like trivia. I don't know. And then he did really well. He's like, I really love this.

[Sam Richardson]

That's hilarious.

[Mike Mitchell]

Fucking dick. We worked together on several things over the years, but we did a series together, the After Party, season one. And then. And this is how I know that you like me is we spent many months together on that show. Every day in the thick of COVID Yeah. And it was one of those shows where you're always there. And the day after we wrapped, you and I FaceTimed each other and we watched all of Den of Thieves together.

Den of Thieves? Yeah.

Which if you've never seen the movie Den of Thieves, you're wasting your life.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah. But get on it.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah, he's just like. He's not even smoking cigarettes. He's just like eating cigarettes. Yeah.

[Sam Richardson]

[Mike Mitchell]

I'm obsessed with him. And the fact that he was just like. He's like. They're like, gerard, you're gonna become a movie star. You have to work on your American accent. He's like, no.

[Sam Richardson]

He's like, nah.

[Mike Mitchell]

No, I'm from pen. I went to Penn State University. I'm a Nittany Lion. They're like, oh, can you believe what happened with Sandusky? What the fuck?

[Sam Richardson]

He's a friend of my father's.

[Mike Mitchell]

My father was a big booster for the Nittany Lions. Yeah, I watched the game. I went to school with Keegan, Michael Key.

[Sam Richardson]

They have to tell you. My Gerard Butler. Is that right? Oh, I've never told. Oh, my God. What this. So I was getting ready to do. So I did this. This charity event, this concert called Thunder Gong in Kansas City, everywhere. My friend Billy Brumblecombe. It's like a live band sort of show. Karaoke. Not karaoke. It's live band and just like a

[Mike Mitchell]

Great, lovely guy.

[Sam Richardson]

Lovely guy, yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

Great, beautiful voice.

[Sam Richardson]

He invites me afterwards, you know, I'm back home in LA and. And he sends me a text. He's like, hey, Sam, I'm playing at the Bowl. Come see the show. I was like, oh, great, great. So much fun. So I go see him at the show. My girlfriend Nicole was like, can't make it. So she'll come meet me at the after thing. I go backstage, Nicole meets me. We're backstage, and Ben is introducing me to everybody. He's like, hey, this is Sam. He's a great singer. I'm like, oh, you just played a show at the Bowl. Ooh, yeah. You know what I mean?

[Mike Mitchell]

Everybody just say, he's a great actor.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah, he's a great actor.

[Mike Mitchell]

He's very funny. You'll go to my main thing, you know.

[Sam Richardson]

You know, Bruce Lee is like, this guy can fight. No, no, no, he can't. He's a great singer. Cause, you know, we had a good time. Then Gerard Butler comes in with, like, his girlfriend, like, some, you know, a small entourage.

[Mike Mitchell]

Sure.

[Sam Richardson]

And Ben is like, hey, have you met Sam? He's a great singer. And then the woman that Gerard Butler's with is like, oh, yes, sing something. And everybody who had heard him say that I'm a great singer goes shoomp. Yeah. Sing something. Sing something. Sing something. Sing something.

[Mike Mitchell]

Is there a mic set up and stuff? Acapella.

Acapella.

[Mike Mitchell]

That is psychotic to ask of someone.

[Sam Richardson]

I looked at Nicole and she's like, bro, I don't know. So I'm like, panicking. I'm panicking. She's like, going, I got laryngitized. I got laryngized. And I'm like, well, what do you sing in this instant? Like, in this instant. What do I sing? Like, you can't. Like, Happy birthday to you. And you can't, like, also, like, really

[Mike Mitchell]

try Amazing Grace, you know what I mean?

[Sam Richardson]

In the public domain. Oh, hold on.

[Mike Mitchell]

Shit. You do have a good voice.

[Sam Richardson]

Wait a minute. Wow, wow, wow.

[Mike Mitchell]

I see where the story's going.

[Sam Richardson]

But then I. So I sing the theme to In a pa. I'm like, oh. I sing the theme to Family Matters. Cause it's, like, just, like, fun enough.

[Mike Mitchell]

Oh, wait. How does the beginning of the.

[Sam Richardson]

It's a rare condition this day and age to read in the good news on the newspaper page. So I sing that much. And everybody's like, oh, yay. This was. It works out great. It works out. I'm like, who? Get out of there. Boom, boom. And so, like, like, you know, I'm like, oh, get my. Atta boys. This guy goes, oh, so much fun. This random guy is like, have you ever seen this sketch? This video sketch of, like, Adam Devine, who's like. He's a guy who sings, like, all the themes. I'm like, oh, no, I haven't. So, like, we're all standing there. He's like, wait here. And he's, like, looking through. I'm like, okay, cool. So Gerard was like, hey, man, that was really fun.

[Mike Mitchell]

What are you up to?

[Sam Richardson]

And I'm like, oh, I'm getting ready to go shoot this action movie tomorrow.

[Advertisement Voice]

War.

[Mike Mitchell]

You gotta say that to Gerard Butler. An action movie. You're not the only star here, pal.

[Sam Richardson]

You know? Exactly. I can also do. I can do. I'm just saying. I also do action. He's like, great. Well, I got three pieces of advice for you. It's so. It's so important. I wish. I wish I might have told me this. Three pieces of advice. First off, you know, when you're doing these, like. We're doing these stunts, like, you know, like, warm up a little bit, like, kind of stretch.

[Mike Mitchell]

Good advice. Smart.

[Sam Richardson]

Second piece of advice so important, wear ear protection.

[Mike Mitchell]

Because I, you know, I've been shooting guns. Yes.

[Sam Richardson]

And I'm deaf as fuck. So, like, you know, wear ear protection. I can't tell you. And the third piece and most important piece of advice is I found the video. And this guy is like. And we all sit there and watch this video. We're like, okay, okay. And then it's like, yeah, wasn't that fun? Oh, yeah. And I'm like, okay, what was the third piece? Oh, third piece. Most important advice. All right, everybody, you gotta go. Everybody leave.

[Mike Mitchell]

So then we get like, you never got the advice.

[Sam Richardson]

Never got the advice. Months, almost a year later, I go on, oh, I'm getting ready to go on a talk show, but I'm in Atlanta shooting another movie. And I'm getting ready to go to LA to do promo for another thing that I worked on. And I'm like, in my car. The. The. It's. My apartment's in, like, this, like, alleyway.

[Mike Mitchell]

Like this alleyway in the back. I think I actually know this apartment building. I'm not kidding.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah. So I'm, like, getting. I'm, like, driving on my way out. But, you know, you have, like, the mirrors that you see. Cause, like, people are walking through. Cause there's a bar at the end of this alley. So, like, you know, you have to be very careful in things. So I'm coming out very subtly, and I go. And this guy's like, hey, ba, ba, ba. I'm like, whoa, sorry. I'm halfway through. And I'm like, gerard.

[Mike Mitchell]

Oh, my God.

[Sam Richardson]

And he's like. I'm like, oh, shit. How are you doing? Oh, man, it's amazing. So great to see you. I'm shooting this thing. How'd the movie go? It went great. Great. Oh, by the way, what's the. And the garage door starts to close. My car. Gerard goes. He runs under it.

[Mike Mitchell]

He did an action move.

[Sam Richardson]

He fucking catches it with his shoulder.

[Mike Mitchell]

Huzzah.

[Sam Richardson]

Holds it up. He's like, go, go, go. And I'm like, yeah. And I drive out, and I'm like, I didn't ask him for the third piece of advice.

[Mike Mitchell]

O,

[Sam Richardson]

that's that.

[Mike Mitchell]

Oh, what a story.

[Sam Richardson]

Insane.

[Mike Mitchell]

You have a. You gotta get that therapeutic.

[Sam Richardson]

I need to.

[Mike Mitchell]

What if it's something like, if you take a huge dump in your trailer, light a match. You're like, yeah, thanks. I'm glad I chased that down.

[Sam Richardson]

I'm like, oh, I should.

[Mike Mitchell]

I just love, like, the thought of, like, him being so touched by your voice that, like, one day he's just watching, like, a Family Matters rerun and he hears a. Like, he sees Urkel and just, like, a tear rolls down his eye. Also, my takeaway from that story is if you are someone who, at a party or a bar is like, hey, everyone, come here and watch this sketch. Prison, Prison.

[Sam Richardson]

Go right to jail.

[Mike Mitchell]

Go right to prison.

[Sam Richardson]

Go right to jail.

[Mike Mitchell]

Oh, my God. Have you seen. Real quick, have you seen den of Thieves 2? Pantera? You haven't seen it yet?

[Sam Richardson]

I still haven't seen it yet. I've been saying to you that I Need to watch it.

[Mike Mitchell]

I'll watch it with you. Okay. Okay. Great.

[Sam Richardson]

FaceTime.

[Mike Mitchell]

It's fucking him. It's insane, by the way. I felt like I was on ecstasy while I was watching it. Holy shit. It's so funny that the subtitle's Pantera. Yeah, true. It's so funny.

[Sam Richardson]

I'm so curious what that means.

[Mike Mitchell]

What about den of Thieves 2? Panera.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah, there you go. Just a nice sandwich.

[Mike Mitchell]

Listen, there's a new Santa Fe chicken wrap and we're gonna steal it.

[Sam Richardson]

You're gonna steal it?

[Mike Mitchell]

And I have to get the Panera's main computer. Do you really think you're going to steal the strawberry poppy seed chicken salad? You'll die now. That's what you fucking think. Before we get into. We want you to know we do have a gift, a prize rather. If you win this bag right here. Oh, shit. If you do, if you hit a certain standard, a certain threshold, you get that bag. I don't wanna say what's in it is the bottom is one brick of pure uncut cocaino. And then on top, $15,000 in cash.

[Sam Richardson]

Perfect.

[Mike Mitchell]

First time we've done this. But that's right here. This is just to tempt you a little bit. This is to make salivate while you're asking some of these questions. Here's how this game works. Sam Richardson, I am going to ask you a couple of questions about one of your subjects. Okay? We'll chat a little bit. You'll ask me a question from that stack of cards right there. Yep. We'll do that two more times. Then we will have the speed round.

[Sam Richardson]

Okay?

[Mike Mitchell]

That is when shit gets wild.

[Sam Richardson]

Ooh.

[Mike Mitchell]

We are starting with your first subject, okay. Which is 80s and 90s cartoons.

[Sam Richardson]

Okay?

[Mike Mitchell]

All right, here we go. Question number one. In 1985, a cartoon created by Tobin Wolf premiered featuring heroes that were feline human hybrid aliens. What is this show?

[Sam Richardson]

Thundercats.

[Mike Mitchell]

Thundercats. Sam Richardson is on the board. Your bonus question.

[Sam Richardson]

Okay.

[Mike Mitchell]

The primary villains led by Mum Ra, are known as what?

[Sam Richardson]

The Mutants.

[Mike Mitchell]

The Mutants. I said Mutants of Plundar. I will accept mutants.

[Sam Richardson]

That is absolutely correct, yes.

[Mike Mitchell]

Sandra, Double bonus. Double bonus. Who was Lionel's little manservant?

[Sam Richardson]

Snarf Snarf Snarf.

[Mike Mitchell]

Richardson, you know Thundercats?

[Sam Richardson]

I know Thundercats so well. Do you really? I really do. You could ask me anything about Thundercats, I'd have told you. I got nervous and I was like, oh, okay, here we go.

[Mike Mitchell]

Oh, fuck.

[Sam Richardson]

I'll tell you also Slythe Barbarian Monkey and Vulture Man. Those are the mutants.

[Mike Mitchell]

Jesus.

[Sam Richardson]

Ritaro comes in.

[Mike Mitchell]

Okay, we don't use that word anymore. Yes, but that is amazing. Okay. I'm really glad, because.

[Sam Richardson]

Me too.

[Mike Mitchell]

First of all, I would have made those questions a little harder had I known that you were, like, a professor of thundercatology. Jesus. I loved snarf. Because I remember. I don't know if you've ever heard this phrase. I don't know if this was a Detroit phrase, but I remember my dad told me one time that he had a friend growing up who said that if you were in the bathtub and you farted and ate the bubble, that was called a snarf.

[Sam Richardson]

I've never heard that before, but it makes sense.

[Mike Mitchell]

It does kind of make sense.

[Sam Richardson]

It's like onomatopoeia kind of snarf. Snarf. Oh, I snarf. Oh, I snarfed.

[Mike Mitchell]

I like that. In your mind, it's on accident. Someone who's like, bloop.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah, I would hope it's on accident.

[Mike Mitchell]

It really is vile.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah, it truly is. Because, like, that's the thing is, like, with a regular fart, it go. You don't know where it's going, but you don't know where it's going. Bathtub fart. You can see it in its physical manifestation.

[Mike Mitchell]

You can see it. And I don't have scientific proof, but the bubble has to smell.

[Sam Richardson]

The bubble has to. Where's your smell?

[Mike Mitchell]

[Sam Richardson]

It's made of farts.

[Mike Mitchell]

It's made of farts with the lightest outer coating of soap.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah, exactly.

[Mike Mitchell]

If you. If you put soap in it, if. If I don't want to take a bath, I take a bath. For therapeutic magnet Epsom salt. Reason I don't have salt in there. Yeah, it's not like I'm farting in there. That's gross. I don't do that. Smile set. Do you love your smile, or do you think it's something that you could maybe one day improve upon? The good news with Smileset, that day is today.

It's the Priceline negotiator. How do I negotiate so many great travel deals?

[Mike Mitchell]

My greatest gadget, the Priceline app.

[Sam Richardson]

It's got hotel deals, flight deals, rental car deals, all of those deals in

[Mike Mitchell]

a bundle deals, game day deals, concert trip deals. No one deals more deals than Priceline.

[Mike Mitchell]

neighborhood vibe, star level, and amenities like pools and spas and beachfronts and. Wait, I'm not done. Stop cutting me up.

[Sam Richardson]

You jumped real quick on that one.

[Mike Mitchell]

Anyways, moving on.

[Sam Richardson]

No, I want to know about these farts.

[Mike Mitchell]

Did you. Were you a big cartoon kid? Were you, like, obsessed?

[Sam Richardson]

I was, yeah, I was obsessed.

[Mike Mitchell]

And still you still watch cartoons a little bit?

[Sam Richardson]

Not really. You know, I try and get. I think my. I'm always like, oh, let me pop on an old he man. And I pop it on. I'm like, that's okay. I'm, like, doing something.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah, yeah. You're like, I can. I'm too. A little too old. I mean, the thing is, too. I haven't gone back and watched a ton of cartoons from when I was a kid. Like, there's some classic looney Tunes that I'll show my. My kids, but they want to watch more advanced stuff. I'm also always Worried too. Like, what's problematic.

[Sam Richardson]

Something's going to not hold up.

[Mike Mitchell]

Just like the Bugs Bunny cartoon where he, like, beheads the Emperor of Japan.

[Sam Richardson]

Exactly. The old episode of Hemans, like, oh, it's a character Negro.

[Mike Mitchell]

Like, uh, oh, why would he have a boombox?

[Sam Richardson]

Why would he have a boombox? This is.

[Mike Mitchell]

That's like insane.

[Sam Richardson]

They're like. At the time it was current.

[Mike Mitchell]

It's not even Earth, though.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. As well, you know, there's a couple.

[Mike Mitchell]

There's a couple ones. There's a Betty Boop clip I remember seeing where I was like, this is unacceptable. Like, this is like insane.

[Sam Richardson]

Some of my favorite cartoons, like the Fleischer brothers.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yes.

[Sam Richardson]

Popeye cartoons. It's like my all time favorite ones.

[Mike Mitchell]

They're crazy.

[Sam Richardson]

They're crazy. Them are like pure war propaganda.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah. You know, you're like, whoops. Yeah. Why is he doing. Why. Why is Popeye speedbagging an entire Japanese family?

[Sam Richardson]

Yep. He goes into their homes.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah. They're. They're not both. They're in their home. It's really weird.

[Sam Richardson]

All but the power of spinach.

[Mike Mitchell]

There was a moment where, like every funny live action character had their own cartoon. Peewee had a cartoon.

[Sam Richardson]

Peewee had a cartoon.

[Mike Mitchell]

Remember the Ed Grimley cartoon?

[Sam Richardson]

I sure do.

[Mike Mitchell]

I loved it.

[Sam Richardson]

I love it.

[Mike Mitchell]

I love Ed Grimley. They gotta bring back characters like Ed Grimley.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah, exactly.

[Mike Mitchell]

He was just a giant dor. That was his deal.

[Sam Richardson]

I want to see Jiminy Glick the cartoon.

[Mike Mitchell]

Maybe the funniest character of all time. Maybe.

[Sam Richardson]

Period.

[Mike Mitchell]

Have you watched the Marty documentary yet?

[Sam Richardson]

No, I've not yet watched it.

[Mike Mitchell]

I literally, like. I think I'm gonna do it this weekend, but I've just been working, like late nights and I need to be clean when I watch that. I know it's cleansing in itself and I'll feel so good after it, but I'm gonna cry so hard when I watch that goddamn thing.

[Sam Richardson]

I just know it. I just know it. So. And I want to give it. It's like, full do. I don't want. I don't want to be doing any other things. You know what I mean? I don't want to be on my phone. I just want to, like.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah, I need to sit in and

[Sam Richardson]

let it watch and like, intake.

[Mike Mitchell]

Den of Thieves 2, Pantera, then the Martin Short documentary double feature. You're a little younger than me. Were you a big Nickelodeon guy?

[Sam Richardson]

Huge.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah. What were your Nickelodeon shows?

[Sam Richardson]

Nickelodeon shows were Doug and Rugrats Doug. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Doug Funny. You can't do that on television.

[Mike Mitchell]

You can't.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah, not anymore. Cause it's woke, woke, woke.

[Mike Mitchell]

If the kid, someone says, I don't know, they have eco friendly slime that falls on their head and they can't dump it. It's clear.

[Sam Richardson]

Cause it can't be a color.

[Mike Mitchell]

They can't dump water anymore. Cause that'd be wasting the water. This is Fran Drescher complaining about the wokeness of. I was a big double dare guy.

[Sam Richardson]

Double. I was huge double dare.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah. I always kind of wanted like my family to go on family double dare. And it was not even a possibility.

[Sam Richardson]

My dad would like. I. I wanted to do double dare so bad. My dad. My. My dad took me to Disney World when I was like maybe 11 or 12. And he sat on the bench and I went and did the rides.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah.

[Sam Richardson]

You know, so I'm like, go through this. Dig through this nose and get the fucking flag out of the. I'm like, never. He'd be like, no, we lose.

[Mike Mitchell]

Mom, mom, you have to jump in that giant pit of mucus and pull the cone out.

[Sam Richardson]

I'll be in the car.

[Mike Mitchell]

Did you ever. You remember the host? Double dare.

[Sam Richardson]

Double dare. Mark Summers.

[Mike Mitchell]

Ever see a clip of him on the Tonight show with Burt Reynolds?

[Sam Richardson]

No.

[Mike Mitchell]

It's rough. It's really rough. It's like the Jay Leno Tonight show.

[Sam Richardson]

Ok?

[Mike Mitchell]

Burt Reynolds was the first guest, so he's sitting in the second chair. And Mark Summers comes out. And Burt Reynolds, rest in peace. Yep, a really enjoyable actor. Really enjoyed watching him in many, many movies. I think he's just like a. He was a huge asshole.

[Sam Richardson]

I mean, he had to be.

[Mike Mitchell]

I don't think he was like a

[Sam Richardson]

fucking dick, just a bully.

[Mike Mitchell]

And like, Mark Summers is telling this story to Jay Leno and Burt Reynolds, like, hey, get your fucking back to me, man. But, you know, and like, shut up. And then Mark Summers, like, trying to be like, bro, he starts fucking with Burt Reynolds. And at some point he's like, well, I can't remember who's married. I'm married. Not you. Because Burt Reynolds is going through a very bitter divorce. And Burt Reynolds takes his mug of water and just throws it on Mark Summers. And Mark Summers, the audience goes crazy. And Jay Leno's like, ah. And Mark Summers grabs his water to throw up at Reynolds, but Burt Reynolds, like, hits it. So the glass slams Mark uppers in the mouth. And Jalen was like, guys, guys, guys, guys. And then if I'm not mistaken, they were like. The third segment like, we'll be right back. We'll be right back. And then they came back and this third segment, they had them do like a. They each had a pie duel. So they're all holding a pie and they go, 1, 2, 3. And fucking Burt Reynolds turns before and like nails Mark. Just like nails him. And like Mark Summers is just like the host of this child's game show. Exactly, exactly. You're fucking bullying him.

[Sam Richardson]

You like fully bully. And like that's on TV.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah, it was on nightly TV. And probably something like 24 million Americans watched it. Do you remember the Snorks?

[Sam Richardson]

I sure do.

[Mike Mitchell]

That was so funny because it was just like a Belgian dude is like, you know this smurf.

[Sam Richardson]

Usually a smurf, but what is water but water?

[Mike Mitchell]

When they have a dick on their head.

[Sam Richardson]

But they.

[Mike Mitchell]

They can.

[Sam Richardson]

It's a big urethra on their dick.

[Mike Mitchell]

Urethra. It's a giant dick owl. But it leans on their head. But they are smurf.

[Sam Richardson]

Yes, exactly. So you know they have community.

[Mike Mitchell]

You're not in the last Smurf movie, are you?

[Sam Richardson]

I don't think so.

[Mike Mitchell]

Okay. Cause that fucking. That was the craziest trailer I'd ever seen. It showed like a minute, not like 30 seconds of just pushing in on blue. And then it finally was a Smurf and then it just faded away and you just saw the words. Rihanna was like nuts.

[Sam Richardson]

And I still don't know what this is for.

[Mike Mitchell]

This is a new perfume. She has royal blue. Okay, your second question in the cartoon series, Duck. Where is Scrooge McDuck from Scotland. Sam Richardson. You are doing very well. Bonus question. Who was his main rival?

[Sam Richardson]

Glumgold.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yes. You got a first name? You got it. But first name.

[Sam Richardson]

Oh my God. What's this?

[Mike Mitchell]

Oh no, you still get a point. Flint Heart Glomgold. And then a double bonus. From what country is Flintheart Glomgold from?

[Sam Richardson]

Is he also from Scotland?

[Mike Mitchell]

He is not your first? Wrong. Is. Oh no.

[Sam Richardson]

Is he from Wales?

[Mike Mitchell]

No. Much funnier. South Africa.

[Sam Richardson]

Oh, okay, that makes sense. That makes sense.

[Mike Mitchell]

Even though that is so fucking funny. That is so funny that at the heart of this cute little kid show is just two white immigrants trying to kill each other.

[Sam Richardson]

Exactly. I know you're part of the apartheid.

[Mike Mitchell]

Don't worry about anything, Scrooge. I've got you on this one. Get them boys. I've got diplomatic immunity. It's insane.

[Sam Richardson]

Get em Beagle Boys.

[Mike Mitchell]

It's just like, what if Andrew Carnegie and Elon Musk were trying to kill Each other.

[Sam Richardson]

Exactly. That's the premise of the show. Elon Musk has got a bunch of nephews.

[Mike Mitchell]

A bunch of nephews. Yeah. It's fucking wild.

[Sam Richardson]

There's no way that Huey, Louie and Dewey weren't like, pieces of shit.

[Mike Mitchell]

Oh. Like in real life, they were scions of immense wealth. I like to think that they, like. I mean, it's funny. It's a funny comparison between, like, old, the richest guys in the world and the new richest guys in the world. It's like the old richest guys in the world were pieces of shit.

[Sam Richardson]

Yep.

[Mike Mitchell]

But they also were like, we're gonna build. I'm Andrew Carnegie. Here's my hall.

[Sam Richardson]

Exact. Exactly.

[Mike Mitchell]

Here's my college, here's my museum, my

[Sam Richardson]

institutions that people can.

[Mike Mitchell]

Elon Musk is just like, it's insane. That Lupita Nyong' O is gonna be Helen Detroit. She was white even though she didn't exist. She was like. It's like they. We just get, like, exploding rockets and cars and it's amazing. I've made this observation before, but we

[Sam Richardson]

see them too much. We see them too.

[Mike Mitchell]

We see them too much.

[Sam Richardson]

You didn't see.

[Mike Mitchell]

You never saw Andrew Carnegie? You know, no one was like, do you see what Andrew Carnegie posted today? Wow. Do you see this video of Andrew Carnegie on pure. Just grinding his jaw off? That didn't happen.

[Sam Richardson]

No. Only a select few got to see that.

[Mike Mitchell]

I remember being. Seeing Magica Dispel.

[Sam Richardson]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah. And being like, she's gorgeous.

[Sam Richardson]

Yep.

[Mike Mitchell]

But I. Even at a young age, I was tempted by Jessica Rabbit, Magic of Dispel and the Kim Basinger character in Cool World. Cool World. But after Cool World was the final one where I was, like, not attracted to cartoons.

[Sam Richardson]

Cartoons anymore, you know? Mine was Gadget from Rescue Rangers. I don't remember. Little mouse in a jumpsuit.

[Mike Mitchell]

Straight up mouse. Straight up mouse.

[Sam Richardson]

But she had little goggles and she would tinker around stuff.

[Mike Mitchell]

She had little goggles and a perfect ass.

[Sam Richardson]

Perfect ass. You know what I mean? I was like, wow.

[Mike Mitchell]

Perfect little mouse ass. Damn. Chip and tail, man.

[Sam Richardson]

Little mouse. It works out.

[Mike Mitchell]

I'm glad that I'm not. Not attracted to cartoons. I feel like that's a slippery slope.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

You know what I mean?

[Sam Richardson]

That both of us are.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah, we both are. Right?

[Sam Richardson]

Huh?

[Mike Mitchell]

We're both not attracted to cartoons.

[Sam Richardson]

We're both not. I see a cartoon, I say, that's just for. That is just for children to enjoy.

[Mike Mitchell]

That's children for enjoy.

[Sam Richardson]

For laughs.

[Mike Mitchell]

I would never, ever go into the bathroom and stare at that photo on my phone.

[Sam Richardson]

I tell you what, I didn't today.

[Mike Mitchell]

I've never done it. I didn't do it today. I'm not gonna do it later on. I think it's. Those are a separ Parts of your brain. I don't like fucking hentai.

[Sam Richardson]

No.

[Mike Mitchell]

Who said that?

[Sam Richardson]

I don't even know. What is that?

[Mike Mitchell]

What is hentai? I don't know. I don't know. It's when you take a couple chickens and.

[Sam Richardson]

And you. Exactly. You do tie them up, put a bow on them.

[Mike Mitchell]

I don't like hentai. I've never been to any hentai websites. I love that at some point in 1988, people were like, what do we do for cartoons? Oh, take classic characters and just make them babies.

[Sam Richardson]

Yep.

[Mike Mitchell]

They're like, easy, easy, Muppet babies. Done. Animaniacs. We got you, ducktale. We're good. We're fucking good.

[Sam Richardson]

Good.

[Mike Mitchell]

How old were you? How old were you when you were like. I love cartoons, but I like women more and I need to focus on this.

[Sam Richardson]

That's a good question. I think it was. Huh? Am I there yet?

[Mike Mitchell]

I think you are.

[Sam Richardson]

I think I am, yes. I think. Yeah. Nicole would say that I am.

[Mike Mitchell]

Because I'm gonna assume something about Nicole.

[Sam Richardson]

Yes.

[Mike Mitchell]

She doesn't like cartoons very much.

[Sam Richardson]

She doesn't love cartoons.

[Mike Mitchell]

Cause you know why? She's a woman.

[Sam Richardson]

Cause she's an adult woman.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah. And I hate to say this, and maybe we'll cut this out, because I have a cartoon coming out soon, but I just. I would say it's not a lot of women are cartoon thusiasts.

[Sam Richardson]

Well, if not a lot, it ain't none.

[Mike Mitchell]

It ain't none. But it ain't 3%. It's somewhere between 1 and 2%. But, but, but, but, but. That's fine.

[Sam Richardson]

That's fine.

[Mike Mitchell]

There's things that they like that I don't like. I've never seen Gilmore Girls.

[Sam Richardson]

Me. Me either. How about that?

[Mike Mitchell]

There you go. There you go. I don't watch hentai and I've never seen Gilmore Girls.

[Advertisement Voice]

Yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

What was your checkout point, though? Like, when people start like. Like, for me, when someone's talking about Dragon Ball Z, I'm just like, I don't know.

[Sam Richardson]

I have no idea what you mean. Well, then in that case, I guess I went from kid cartoons to anime. I still watch anime. I love it.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah, but not anime porn.

[Sam Richardson]

Not like anime. No. No way. Not hentai.

[Mike Mitchell]

Not watching hentai. Stop it.

[Sam Richardson]

I don't know where this rumor started.

[Mike Mitchell]

Stop Saying it.

[Sam Richardson]

Stop saying it. Leave my browser history alone. But I watch anime now, and it's. Cause it's good. It's good storytelling. And what's great about ANIM is that it's. It's unbound by the physics.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yes.

[Sam Richardson]

By the bounds of, like, time and space. Reality, you know, things can be representative of.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yes.

[Sam Richardson]

You know, the idea. So somebody can, like, try. If I'm, like, mad at you and I'm gonna punch you.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yes.

[Sam Richardson]

I'm in mid punch, I can tell you all the reasons why I hate

[Mike Mitchell]

you, and then I can punch you into the moon.

[Sam Richardson]

Into the moon. Then you go to the moon. It means, like, oh, I really hated him.

[Mike Mitchell]

I mean, the thing is, they are amazing. I watched Spirited Away with my kids. We loved it. We watched the Simpsons. We still watch cartoons, and they're still little K. But there is a point where I'm just like. When people talk about cartoons that were coming out when I was like, 22, I was like, what are you fucking talking about, man? I was doing important improv.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah, exactly. I was making a difference.

[Mike Mitchell]

I was making a difference.

Mm, mm, mm. You know the best part about this spicy Italian sausage? I voted for this topping. Yeah, just another perk of being a member. Come join us, Sam's Club.

[Mike Mitchell]

Okay, now is the point in the show where you are going to ask me a question, my friend.

[Sam Richardson]

Right?

[Mike Mitchell]

Go from that stack of cards, ask me a question. Maybe I'll get it right, maybe not. I usually don't get them right. That's kind of the bit of the show.

[Sam Richardson]

Okay.

[Mike Mitchell]

Apparently that's exciting. Yeah.

[Sam Richardson]

Who is credited with holding 1093 US patents more than any other inventor of his era.

[Mike Mitchell]

Oh, this is a very funny answer because we have done a thing about him, but I believe it has to be Alexander Graham Bell. No, it's not. It's not. Is it Elon Musk who has the most patents? Oh, oh, oh. Benny Franks. Nope.

[Sam Richardson]

No. That's three shots.

[Mike Mitchell]

I've gotten it. I'm at minus three. What is this?

[Sam Richardson]

Do you want to give me a hint? His New Jersey lab was named the invention factory.

[Mike Mitchell]

His New Jersey lab? Joe Pesci.

[Sam Richardson]

Well, yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

Fucking invention shit.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah. Got all kinds of. It's a bucket.

[Mike Mitchell]

It's not.

[Sam Richardson]

Oh.

[Mike Mitchell]

Oh, I'm such an idiot. Okay, I want to rewind like a minute and a half. I didn't mean Alexander Graham Bell. I meant Edison. Yeah, it's Edison.

[Sam Richardson]

That's exactly right.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah, it's Edison. But I got that wrong for sure. Huge piece of shit Edison.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

Like literally someone would be like some like poor, like Greek immigrant would be like, I invent a one way radio. And he'd come over and be like, it's mine. And like snap it. And then like that guy would go to court and would be like, actually, that isn't mine. And then they would throw him in debtor's jail. Do you got another bonus?

[Sam Richardson]

Bonus?

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah, I'll get this one, hopefully. God damn it, I'm still stupid.

[Sam Richardson]

What invention did Edison patent in 1877 that allowed sound to be recorded and played back?

[Mike Mitchell]

What did he invent that allowed sound? Like phonography type of things. Is it a phonograph?

[Sam Richardson]

It's a phograph. It's a phonograph.

[Mike Mitchell]

That's right, it's a phonograph. It's a walk off.

[Sam Richardson]

The hint was it predates the record player.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yes. That's actually still how I listen to my music.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah, it's the original, the ultimate.

[Mike Mitchell]

You have not heard Justin Bieber unless you've heard him on a phonograph. You could just. Just throw that right behind you. Go ahead, throw that.

[Sam Richardson]

Wham.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah, look at that. Boom. He did the shoulder bop. That was pretty good. We did a show called history of The World Part 2 and you came on and we did one of my favorite sketches where it was Alexander Graham Bell inventing the telephone. And you were like, watson, my second in command. And I invent it and then you instantly. Prank call.

[Sam Richardson]

The very first call is a prank call.

[Mike Mitchell]

Very first phone call was like, it's your mom. It's your mom. And I was like, my mother's alive. I love a good prank call.

[Sam Richardson]

Me too.

[Mike Mitchell]

I was just talking to my friend Adam yesterday and we were like, if earth was fair and just, the jerky boys would still be the biggest stars in the world.

[Sam Richardson]

Truly. Truly. They would be the senators.

[Mike Mitchell]

They should be our leaders. They should be Johnny and Kumail. I remember the day that movie, the CD came out. I went to Tower records, I bought the CD, I listened to that. Probably 10 times. Yeah. It's the funny. It's still one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my life.

[Sam Richardson]

Ever.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah. Benching 350. You bench 350 pieces? Pieces? What the fuck are you talking about? Pounds, baby. God, it was so fucking good.

[Sam Richardson]

That's fantastic.

[Mike Mitchell]

I love those guys. I love those guys. They don't make prank calls anymore. Really? Prank calls don't really work. It's kind of. They've been replaced by, like, the world's worst YouTube pranks. True. Yeah.

[Sam Richardson]

We're like, yeah, somebody's got a go cam on their forehead and they're holding you up at an atm.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sam Richardson]

They're like, it's a prank.

[Mike Mitchell]

It's a prank.

[Sam Richardson]

It's a prank, bro. It's a prank.

[Mike Mitchell]

Jesus. That's another. Like, if you're. If your profession. If someone's like, what do you do? And you're like, I do pranks on YouTube. You're not just going to jail, you're going to the jail from Face Off.

[Sam Richardson]

Exactly.

[Mike Mitchell]

With the fucking magnetic boots. Exactly. On an oil rig.

[Sam Richardson]

Yes.

[Mike Mitchell]

Gonna have fucking Nicolas Cage beat the shit out of you.

[Sam Richardson]

We're putting you on the rock.

[Mike Mitchell]

That is so. You're going to the Rock.

[Sam Richardson]

You're going to the Rock.

[Mike Mitchell]

Donald Trump is reopening the rock and you're going there. Remember when Trump is like, first thing we're doing is we're reopening Alcatraz. And it was like, it holds like 100 people.

[Sam Richardson]

Exactly.

[Mike Mitchell]

It would cause like a billion dollars to plumbing.

[Sam Richardson]

To renovate. Yeah, exactly. For plumbing alone. Yeah, exactly.

[Mike Mitchell]

It's also, like one of the biggest tourist attractions.

[Sam Richardson]

We gotta put really good wif.

[Mike Mitchell]

We're putting a top of the line wi fi little restaurant.

[Sam Richardson]

So a nice gold restaurant, small, classy

[Mike Mitchell]

casino right there on Alcatraz.

[Sam Richardson]

He probably was like, let's renovate it. Because when I go as a prisoner, I want it to be really nice.

[Mike Mitchell]

I'm going to be the new Birdman of Alcatraz. All right. I'm asking you a question about your second topic, which is video games.

[Sam Richardson]

Okay.

[Mike Mitchell]

In 1987, Nintendo released a game that followed two commandos sent to an island off of New Zealand to fight off the aliens within the Red Falcon organization. What is this game?

[Sam Richardson]

Contra.

[Mike Mitchell]

Sam Richardson doing very well.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

You were nervous.

[Sam Richardson]

I was nervous for no reason.

[Mike Mitchell]

Bonus question. Contra was famous for having an option for the player to enter the Konami or the Contra code, which would give said players 30 extra lives. What is this code?

[Sam Richardson]

Is it up down, left, right, abba.

[Mike Mitchell]

Sorry, say it again.

[Sam Richardson]

Up, down, left, right, abba.

[Mike Mitchell]

That is incorrect. It is up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right. B. A starts.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah, I don't know it. Wow.

[Mike Mitchell]

You knew. You were pretty close, though.

[Sam Richardson]

You were pretty, pretty, pretty close. I just hit all the buttons still. There's very few options.

[Mike Mitchell]

I remember that G code. I was very, very into that. It was amazing. Apparently. I read the dude who did it was like, he was having a hard time beating the game. So he put it in and then didn't remove it. And then they shipped it.

[Sam Richardson]

He shipped out. He's like, oh, it's a little Easter egg.

[Mike Mitchell]

Someone's like, is there a. People are finding a code. Did someone put in a code? And he's just, like, super quiet. He's like, I'm working on my next game. Don't really talk about it. How old were you when you started playing games?

[Sam Richardson]

I had an Atari when I was, like, 4.

[Mike Mitchell]

Atari 2600.

[Sam Richardson]

Atari 2600.

[Mike Mitchell]

That was what we had, too.

[Sam Richardson]

Dig dug.

[Mike Mitchell]

Dig dug. A lot of Centipede.

[Sam Richardson]

A lot of Centipede.

[Mike Mitchell]

A lot of Frogger.

[Sam Richardson]

Yep.

[Mike Mitchell]

Those were the days.

[Sam Richardson]

Those were.

[Mike Mitchell]

Welcome back to the nostalgia podcast.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

The best video game ever. It was just a frog trying not to get squished.

[Sam Richardson]

Trying to cross the road.

[Mike Mitchell]

He's just trying to cross the road. But you gotta be careful. The cars come left and right.

[Sam Richardson]

You know, he teaches the kids how to cross the road.

[Mike Mitchell]

I probably was kind of part of that. They were like, it's Mr. Nixon. This game is educational.

[Sam Richardson]

Oh.

[Mike Mitchell]

Oh, well, okay. All right.

[Sam Richardson]

That's why we have International Frogger Day.

[Mike Mitchell]

We were not big game people. We had the Atari 2600, but then we didn't get the Nintendo.

[Sam Richardson]

I got the Nintendo, and I was losing my mind over it.

[Mike Mitchell]

I would go to my friend's houses and I would play Mario Brothers and Zelda. I couldn't believe my parents were just like, we didn't. I don't know. Maybe it was the money thing then. We didn't have a ton of money, but I didn't have a game console growing up, but we had a PC. And I did play what I think is the greatest game of all time. Civilization.

[Sam Richardson]

Civilization. Now Sid Meier's Civilization.

[Mike Mitchell]

Sid Meier's Civilization.

[Sam Richardson]

It's a really good game.

[Mike Mitchell]

It's so good. It's also good for kids to play that game.

[Sam Richardson]

It's like, you learn how to conquer.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah, you learn how to conquer. You learn history. You learn what artillery is. But Then you also learn, like, oh, shit, you have to feed people.

[Sam Richardson]

Exactly. You learn civic management.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yes. Are they still making them?

[Sam Richardson]

They are. So I think Civilization four is still, like, the gold.

[Mike Mitchell]

Okay.

[Sam Richardson]

The one. Right. Civilization four is five, but Civilization six, I think came out recently. But people didn't like it.

[Mike Mitchell]

They didn't like it. A lot of nudity.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah, Too much nudity. And, like, for me to say too much nudity, that means it's all dudes.

[Mike Mitchell]

This guy loves this guy showed up naked. I was like, sam, put on some freaking clothes.

[Sam Richardson]

And I said, no, this is all digitally stitched.

[Mike Mitchell]

These clothes are AI.

[Sam Richardson]

These clothes are AI.

[Mike Mitchell]

See, I kind of want to go and look and be like, should I get Civilization 4? But I just know that, like. Like, I have little kids. You can't play games until the kids are out of school.

[Sam Richardson]

That's true. You know, but like a good game of Civilization, you can do that on a plane. You know what I mean? Like a plane ride. It'll be a good.

[Mike Mitchell]

I have a plane ride on a laptop.

[Sam Richardson]

It doesn't take, like, a lot of processing power. Right. You know? Ooh, ooh.

[Mike Mitchell]

I might have to do a little downloading before I leave. Sam Richardson, I'm gonna ask you your second question about video games. When it comes to the best selling video game of all time, there's a special split. Some claim that one, which was released in 1988 and has sold over 520 million units, is the top seller. But others reject that game's aggregated release and claim a different game, released in 2011, is the actual bestseller with 350 million units sold. What 1988 game has sold over 520 million units?

[Sam Richardson]

I mean, is that Super Mario Bros?

[Mike Mitchell]

It is not Super Mario Bros. I'll give you a hint if you want one.

[Sam Richardson]

Okay, I'll take the hint. I'll take the hint.

[Mike Mitchell]

They made a movie about it recently.

[Sam Richardson]

88 recently made movie about it. Oh, no.

[Mike Mitchell]

And the man who either designed it or sold it or marketed it, I didn't see. I don't watch movies every day.

[Sam Richardson]

Oh, no. Come on, brain. Tetris.

[Mike Mitchell]

It's Tetris. The answer is Tetris. Bonus question.

[Sam Richardson]

I didn't realize it was like, the most.

[Mike Mitchell]

520 million is nothing to sneeze at.

[Sam Richardson]

Final Fantasy VII is the other one. Is that right?

[Mike Mitchell]

Ah. Well, here's your bonus question. What was the 2011 release that has sold 350 million units?

[Sam Richardson]

Is there a hint for that one?

[Mike Mitchell]

Yes.

[Sam Richardson]

A movie came out recently, Mortal Kombat. No. Street Fight? No. I'm just gonna keep on shooting guesses.

[Mike Mitchell]

You're just naming games.

[Sam Richardson]

I'm just gonna name games that were movies.

[Mike Mitchell]

I mean, think. If you think in terms of the biggest.

[Sam Richardson]

Oh, Mario Brothers.

[Mike Mitchell]

No.

[Sam Richardson]

Holy shit.

[Mike Mitchell]

The answer is Minecraft. Minecraft double bonus. That's what I saw on the Internet. If it's wrong, I think it's right. Double bonus question. Some are predicting a release later this year that will supplant Minecraft on the list. What is this forthcoming game?

[Sam Richardson]

Grand Theft Auto 6.

[Mike Mitchell]

Grand Theft Auto 6.

[Sam Richardson]

It'll change our economy.

[Mike Mitchell]

It's going to save us. It's going to save us. It will. I don't play a lot of games anymore, as I said, but when Vice City came out, I had a friend who had a PlayStation or whatever. And that game is amazing.

[Sam Richardson]

It really is.

[Mike Mitchell]

It is fucking incredible. I think two things can be true

[Sam Richardson]

at the same time.

[Mike Mitchell]

It could be one of the most fun things you could do. And the work that goes into it is astonishing. And they're kind of geniuses. And it's bad for society.

[Sam Richardson]

And it's bad for society. Truly, it is numbing.

[Mike Mitchell]

I don't need more motivation to kill a hooker.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah, exactly.

[Mike Mitchell]

Jesus.

[Sam Richardson]

You know what I mean? I'm trying to stave off those demons. Yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

That's why I'm in all this therapy. Yeah. First person shooters. I have a complicated relationship with it because I do think, think that like it's fucked up. And I think like when you look at people who have done a lot of mass shootings, a lot of them are like, oh yeah, I played mass first person shooter game 16 hours a day. But I also am not gonna be one of those people who's like, it's this, this is the reason why it's much more. It makes a lot more sense to blame accessibility to high capacity magazines and bad parents and all kinds of shit. But I loved GoldenEye. GoldenEye was any game ever. My friends were in college and I would go visit. I would take 10 foot bong hits.

[Sam Richardson]

Yep.

[Mike Mitchell]

And play Goldeneye. Yeah. It was the greatest game. So cool. I loved being oddjob.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

He was very fun.

[Sam Richardson]

He was very fun.

[Mike Mitchell]

They should do a Bond game. But for one of the Connery Bond movies where you don't really do anything. Like at some point you have sex with a woman named Chesty McBreast.

[Sam Richardson]

Exactly. And you shove her.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah. And then you kind of lightly slap her on the ass and she's like, like, Mr.

[Sam Richardson]

Bond, how dare you say I'm drunk on gin.

[Mike Mitchell]

Say that again. Say that again.

[Sam Richardson]

How dare you. How dare you.

[Mike Mitchell]

And then like later in the game, hours later, you shoot like a Bulgarian man in the stomach.

[Sam Richardson]

Exactly.

[Mike Mitchell]

And then you have to drink like 12 margins and the credits roll.

[Sam Richardson]

I was like, I think that was fun.

[Mike Mitchell]

Have you guys played Thunderball? It's kind of fucked up.

[Sam Richardson]

Great theme.

[Mike Mitchell]

I loved those games. I haven't played a game in so long. I feel like if I played a modern game, I would be like fucking Dave at the end of 2001 when he enters the Stargate.

[Sam Richardson]

Just like,

[Mike Mitchell]

it's too much stimulation.

[Sam Richardson]

And now as games progress, they take so much. First off, they rely on you having continued to play a game, like with the Nintendo 64 and all that, like introducing three dimensions to things. So with Mario 64, all of a sudden you had this joystick that would then let you move the camera around.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah.

[Sam Richardson]

So now moving the camera is second nature in playing video games. So you move your body, but you also move the camera angle. So instead of these two dimensional things. That's part of it. And now using bullet time as normal, like menu use and all that stuff, like key mapping, it's. It be so hard to go from Nintendo to that.

[Mike Mitchell]

It's just, it's like. Yeah, it's like going like from like, like a. Like a bicycle where the front tire is just a little flat.

[Sam Richardson]

Yep.

[Mike Mitchell]

To like a F1 car.

[Sam Richardson]

What are all these buttons?

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah.

[Sam Richardson]

All right. They're all ejector seats.

[Mike Mitchell]

I like. Yeah. And gaming culture, like, like, it's a little crazy. Like, I love. I have so many friends that play games and listen, I would love to be one of them. I would love to play games. But then when you hear about people who are like, like, I remember reading, like, Sam Bankman fried, like when he was making his pitch to like angel investors to invest like billions of dollars in his company. He was doing it while he was playing games and people were like, God, I was really impressed by the multitasking. And if I was an investor and he was doing this, I would be like, stop, stop, stop. I would pull his pants down and. Atomic wedgie. Yeah, yeah. I'm talking bloody fucking underwear, pal. And that would not be the first time that's happened to him.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah, no way.

[Mike Mitchell]

I'm guessing. I'm gonna pitch you a movie for you to write and star in called Cheat Code.

[Sam Richardson]

Cheat Code. Okay.

[Mike Mitchell]

You are a gamer.

[Sam Richardson]

Yep.

[Mike Mitchell]

You're obsessed with it. All you do all day is game. You're kind of Like a. Just a lazy piece of shit gooner.

[Sam Richardson]

Yep.

[Mike Mitchell]

If you're not gaming, you're gooning.

[Sam Richardson]

Yep.

[Mike Mitchell]

And if you're gooning, you're gaming.

[Sam Richardson]

Yep, exactly. I'm gaming about goonan. And vice versa.

[Mike Mitchell]

And vice versa. And then one day you discover there's a cheat code in life. And you've you at first, like the first. The first half of the second act, you're just being very frivolous.

[Sam Richardson]

Wasting it.

[Mike Mitchell]

You're wasting it just having sex and looking at breasts.

[Sam Richardson]

Yep.

[Mike Mitchell]

And like eating and stuff. But then you discover there's like a true evil in the world that you have to, like, fight.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah. Like, use this cheat code to like.

[Mike Mitchell]

To like, fight some video game bad guy that has entered the wormhole, who's

[Sam Richardson]

probably another guy who's found the cheat code early on and he uses it for ultimate evil.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah, Sam.

[Sam Richardson]

And so then like now it's like, who can maximize the codes to save. To save universe. Yeah. All right.

[Mike Mitchell]

So. So all I want is to be a producer.

[Sam Richardson]

Yep.

[Mike Mitchell]

And producer with a P. Capital P.

[Sam Richardson]

Capital P, of course.

[Mike Mitchell]

And then of course, like, have like a really fun cameo or something. Yeah. This is how fucking deals are done.

[Sam Richardson]

It really is.

[Mike Mitchell]

Before we. Before we go to you asking a question. Luigi Mangione. More like Waluigi.

[Sam Richardson]

Yes.

[Mike Mitchell]

Can you ask me a question, please?

[Sam Richardson]

He was not a Social Security scared.

[Mike Mitchell]

He was just so hot.

[Sam Richardson]

He was so hot. Allegedly.

[Mike Mitchell]

Allegedly. He's allegedly a fucking smoke show.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah, allegedly. What archaeological Artifact discovered in 1799 allowed scholars to finally decode Egyptian hieroglyphics?

[Mike Mitchell]

My friend, that's something called a Rosetta stone. That is correct. There we go. Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. Okay, ask me the bonus question. Ask me the bonus question. No, no, no. I think I was gonna say the answer.

[Sam Richardson]

Well, here's the bonus question. The Rosetta stone features the same text written in three scripts. Name one of the other two besides hieroglyphics.

[Mike Mitchell]

I'm gonna say Aramaic. No, it's not Aramaic. I was joking. April fools. This is April. Today's April 1st.

[Sam Richardson]

Yep.

[Mike Mitchell]

It's hieroglyphics. Ancient Greek, Greek. Ancient Greek, Ancient Greek.

[Sam Richardson]

Other one is demotic.

[Mike Mitchell]

Demotic.

[Sam Richardson]

I asked you just for one.

[Advertisement Voice]

Yes, that.

[Mike Mitchell]

Show me. I'll take it. I never said Aramaic. Only a fucking idiot would say that would be dumb.

[Sam Richardson]

That'd be embarrassing.

[Mike Mitchell]

I love it. I love it.

[Sam Richardson]

Could you imagine if you said Aramaic?

[Mike Mitchell]

Do you know?

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

What a loser. That's a guy. Only a guy who watches Hentai would do that.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

I imagine that when those guys found. And they were like, one day they're going to name an online learning course off of this rock.

[Sam Richardson]

Please, Eddie get learned some passable French.

[Mike Mitchell]

You can learn enough to annoy a native French speaker to order some spaghetti.

[Sam Richardson]

Do you do duolingo in France?

[Mike Mitchell]

Do you do duolingo? Do you duolingo?

[Sam Richardson]

I did for a minute. I did for a while. I had, like, a long streak.

[Mike Mitchell]

How long?

[Sam Richardson]

My longest streak was, like, 900 and something.

[Mike Mitchell]

Jesus.

[Sam Richardson]

And then just. I missed it for a week. Ooh. And I was pissed.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah. My kid. I do it. And again, it's kind of just more like an OCD compulsive thing I do in the morning.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

And. And. But I got my kids into it, and they're going to sleepaway camp, and they're like, you have to do it for us to keep our streak going.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

So, like, that means, like, this summer, I'll have to, like, wake up and find an iPad and be like, God damn it. Beat your Klepton Klingon.

[Sam Richardson]

Beat your Klepton Klingon.

[Mike Mitchell]

She did Klingon.

[Sam Richardson]

Oh, God.

[Mike Mitchell]

Is there duolingo for Klingon?

[Sam Richardson]

There is duolingo for Klingon.

[Mike Mitchell]

Okay. If you are spending time doing duolingo and you're learning Klingon, I'm not going to put you in jail. Yeah, but you are doing a week on, like, a chain game.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah. You got to do some. Yeah, exactly. You're picking up trash on the side of the three way.

[Mike Mitchell]

You learn about the importance of free time.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah. But if you meet a Klingon, you're gonna be glad you knew it, but.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yes, yes. Or I guess if you're at a convention and, like, someone is. Here's the perfect endgame for someone who's taking Klingon on duolingo.

[Sam Richardson]

Yep.

[Mike Mitchell]

They're at a convention. They see someone in a Klingon. Like, a nice Klingon outfit.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

The guy. It's obviously a guy who's been learning the language, walks up and it's like, no rock or.

[Sam Richardson]

You haven't been studying it.

[Mike Mitchell]

The person dressed as the Klingon says, orok. And you're Olak takes off the mask, and it's like a beautiful woman who is like, who's Arok. Arok. Which is Klingon for Do you want to marry me?

[Sam Richardson]

Do you want to marry me?

[Mike Mitchell]

I think the odds of, like, literally, like, a meteor hitting the Earth and, like, killing the planet are much better.

[Sam Richardson]

Much, much better.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah.

[Sam Richardson]

You're talking about exponentially. Like, maybe times 10 is better.

[Mike Mitchell]

Why are we doing Klingon? I like Star Trek. I love Star Trek. I love Star Trek. I've seen probably every episode of the classic Star Trek. Some of, you know, tng. I've seen all the movies. It's too frivolous. Yeah.

[Sam Richardson]

I think that's. I don't know if even. I mean, so I know that Tolkien made full languages for Elvish. Sure. And those are, like, full. He was, like, a linguist, and he was a code breaker in World War II.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah. Yeah. That's kind of cool.

[Sam Richardson]

And it's cool. I'm like, interesting. There's like a. But did somebody do that for Klingon? Is that. Or is this somebody who's like, make it up? And then somebody watched tv was like, yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

I would bet dollars to donuts, Gene Roddenberry. Did not.

[Sam Richardson]

Did not.

[Mike Mitchell]

But some, like, fan was like, I've actually tried. I have 400,000 words that I translated, conjugated. Yeah. Actually, the plue. Perfect for I'm going to invade your ship. Yeah. No, that's bad. Let's say you're not. This is not Nicole. This is a young Sam Richardson. You've met a woman, and would you rather she speak Klinga? Or, like, she's like Ewok.

[Sam Richardson]

Oh, jubjub.

[Mike Mitchell]

Jubjub.

[Sam Richardson]

It would be Klingon, Just so you know.

[Mike Mitchell]

Whatever.

[Sam Richardson]

It's like a. It's almost Slavic because it's got, like, some power to it.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah, it's just like, Klingon is still relatively humanoid.

[Sam Richardson]

It's, like, humanoid, and it's got, like. You know, you can be like, ooh, like a block. I'm like, ooh, okay.

[Mike Mitchell]

Got me.

[Sam Richardson]

But if they're like, chop, chop, Go watch up on Japan. I'm like, no, you're a child. You might be a child.

[Mike Mitchell]

You're like a child. Wild Labradoodle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. That's good.

[Sam Richardson]

No, no. You almost tricked me.

[Mike Mitchell]

All right, I'm asking you a question here.

[Sam Richardson]

Okay.

[Mike Mitchell]

I'm asking you your third question, which you said hodgepodge. I was very excited, and I've chosen a topic which I know is something near and dear to your heart.

[Sam Richardson]

Yes.

[Mike Mitchell]

But I don't know how much you, you know about it. Okay, so we're gonna find out right now.

[Sam Richardson]

Okay.

[Mike Mitchell]

The subject is the Detroit Lions.

[Sam Richardson]

Okay.

[Mike Mitchell]

Okay.

[Sam Richardson]

Okay.

[Mike Mitchell]

The Detroit Lions can boast one of the great running backs of all time, Barry Sanders. They also can boast one of the greatest wide receivers of all time. Who is the Lions all time leader in receiving touchdowns?

[Sam Richardson]

Megatron Calvin Johnson.

[Mike Mitchell]

It is Megatron Calvin Johnson. I thought you were gonna know that. But. But I wasn't sure. Bonus question. The Lions have not made a Super bowl appearance in the modern era, but came close in 2023, making it to the conference finals before losing to which NFC team?

[Sam Richardson]

Oh, my God. The 49ers.

[Mike Mitchell]

They lost to the San Francisco 49ers. Sam Richardson.

[Sam Richardson]

I was at that game.

[Mike Mitchell]

You were at that game?

[Sam Richardson]

I was at that game. I was. In the first half. We were dog walking. I mean, it was so much fun. I know.

[Mike Mitchell]

I was watching that.

[Sam Richardson]

As a Lions fan. We know. You gotta, like, keep your emotions in check. You gotta not jinx it. And at the half, everybody was like, where are you gonna try. Where are you trying to stay in Vegas when we go? I was like, guys, what are you doing?

[Mike Mitchell]

Guys, stop, stop, stop. Easy.

[Sam Richardson]

And as if it was like angels in the outfield every. Like some kid made a wish and everything that could have, like, gone wrong did, like. I'd never seen Jameer Gibbs fumble more than he does at the 8 yard line for a return for a touchdown. Amon Ross, St. Brown dropping pass like it was. Yeah, so I was at the gap. So in my. I was shooting Funny Enough, a Star Trek movie in Toronto in my contract when it was on thing, I was like, look, if the Lions go to

[Mike Mitchell]

the super bowl, that's great.

[Sam Richardson]

You have to let me go.

[Mike Mitchell]

That's amazing.

[Sam Richardson]

And they were like. They were like, yeah, sure, fine.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sam Richardson]

And then it was like getting a

[Mike Mitchell]

funny thing to say to someone.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah, sure. Like, okay, if the Lions go to

[Mike Mitchell]

the Super Bowl, I'm out. They're like, no problem. We're fine with that. Yeah, whatever you say, pal.

[Sam Richardson]

And like, they were getting nervous. They really. Cause like, they're like, oh, crap. And so I went that weekend because we were already. We were already filming. I went that weekend to San Francisco to see the game and, like, screaming hoarse, you know, and I was like, hoarse. I came back after that loss and I couldn't. Couldn't like, speak. And I'm like. I'm like watching them. Like it was a scene where you're, like, explaining all the characters. And I'm like, yeah, and I'm the tech one and I know how to do all the things. I'm like, guys, do we. I'm just gonna mouth my work because this is gonna be ADR no matter what.

[Mike Mitchell]

Sam. Sam. This exact same thing happened to me last Monday.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

The following. The Saturday before, I coached two them of. Of my daughter's basketball games, which when you're coaching like an 8 year old, all you're doing is at the top of your lung screaming, who's got her? Who is guarding her? So I did that for two hours. And then it was my friend's wife's birthday and it was karaoke and I might have been overserved.

[Sam Richardson]

Yep.

[Mike Mitchell]

And you know when you go in a karaoke room and you're. Right away you're like, you're like, yeah, I'll put a song. And you put your name down and then you completely forget about it and you drink up so much and then you're like, okay, time to go. And they're like, only the good die young. Who picked that? And I'm like, that's me. I sang it at a level 10. And then I had to give a speech. I had to give Amy Poehler the Peabody Award the next night. So I had to give a speech. I showed up to the set on Monday. I had to shoot like 14 hours.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

Literally every line will be ADR'd.

[Advertisement Voice]

Oof. Easy.

[Mike Mitchell]

Because I was like, I was like, you know, like, you know, hey, what

[Sam Richardson]

have we got going?

[Mike Mitchell]

It was just like my voice completely. I was really depressed. Luckily, Seth Rogen is just like, oh,

[Sam Richardson]

yeah, I don't give a sht.

[Mike Mitchell]

We'll just ADR the whole fucking thing.

[Advertisement Voice]

Yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

But it was really, it was bad. You are a true son of Detroit. You truly are. I love Detroit too. It's a great city, great sports, great food. And I say this even though in like 1989, 1990, when the Pistons were dog walking the Bulls, I wanted a nuclear bomb to fall on Detroit, literally, like right on the top of the fucking Motown Museum, just wipe out the entire city. But I've grown and I do.

[Sam Richardson]

Everything wouldn't have stopped.

[Mike Mitchell]

We're Detroit tough like that, you know,

[Sam Richardson]

baby, we take a nuclear bomb, you shrug that shit off, baby. What up, though?

[Mike Mitchell]

Who is your favorite Detroit athlete of all time?

[Sam Richardson]

Of all time? Of all time. Isaiah Thomas. Yeah, I mean, Barry Sanders or Isaiah Thomas?

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah.

[Sam Richardson]

It's a hard one.

[Mike Mitchell]

It's a hard one for some people.

[Sam Richardson]

People. Yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

He's the one of the best point guards ever, if not the best point guard besides Magic Johnson, like ever, Ever. What if you. What if you said Ty Cobb?

[Sam Richardson]

Like, Ty Cobb has to be

[Advertisement Voice]

full stop.

[Sam Richardson]

Ty Cobb.

[Mike Mitchell]

Have you ever seen the movie Cobb? Like really good. Just because Tommy Lee Jones is so fantastic, but the whole movie is just him being followed around by his biographer, who's Robert. And the whole movie just. You see him, just the racist, fucking alcoholic piece of shit that he was. But the whole movie's like, you're not gonna make me look bad. This movie, this book, I'm gonna look good, right? And Robert Wolfe's like, no, you're gonna look horrible. And then at the end of the movie, Robert Wolf's character, Ty Cobb, dies. Spoiler. And Robert Wolf releases the book, and he's like, he was a good guy. And then, like, 25 years later, he wrote a second book that was basically like, actually, he was a bad guy.

[Sam Richardson]

He was a bad guy, actually.

[Mike Mitchell]

Fuck. Really, really, really awful. Were you a big Rodman fan? I loved him.

[Sam Richardson]

I liked Robin a lot. I like. Of course, you know. But then he went crazy.

[Mike Mitchell]

But that pistons, that, like, 88 to 91 Pistons team, like, so great. Such great. I mean, from the POV of a Bulls fan, you have, like, legendary villains. Isaiah. Bill Lambert was, I think, an SS guard. Like a camp. But then you also had guys who. I loved Joe Dumar. He was, like, a great guy. I loved Vinnie Johnson, even though he would fucking cook us in a microwave. In a microwave. Rodman was the one. I did love Spider Sally. I've met him a few times. He's a great guy. But Rodman was the one who. We hated him so much. And then he comes to the Bulls,

[Sam Richardson]

and then all of a sudden.

[Mike Mitchell]

And then all of a sudden, I was just like, you're my favorite athlete. He's so funny, too. He was just. Just, like, in, like, 95. He's, like, the height of fame, or maybe. Yeah, 96. Height of fame. Won the NBA championship. Already hooked up with Madonna. What does he do? He's like, I'm gonna marry myself.

[Sam Richardson]

I'm gonna marry myself.

[Mike Mitchell]

I'm just gonna get married to myself and write a book about it. Yep. And then you did one other thing. Ready for this segue?

[Sam Richardson]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

What 1997 action film did Dennis Rodman star in with Jean Claude Van Damme?

[Sam Richardson]

I want to make sure they say, because I know it's a double team.

[Mike Mitchell]

Yes. Double team is right.

[Advertisement Voice]

Yeah.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

Bonus question. Two years later, Rodman starred in his own movie, an action thriller co starring Dane Cook, where he again played, believe it or not, a special forces agent. What is this movie called?

[Sam Richardson]

Whoa. Okay. This I do not know, but I'm gonna take some guesses.

[Mike Mitchell]

I'll give you a hint.

[Sam Richardson]

Yep.

[Mike Mitchell]

The title has alliteration.

[Sam Richardson]

Okay. Double dribble.

[Mike Mitchell]

Amazing guess. Amazing guess. The answer is Simon says. Simon says is spelled S E, Z. Yeah.

[Sam Richardson]

Why would he do it? Why would he?

[Mike Mitchell]

That means your name has to be like Sezman. It better be like, it's insane. Also I'm pretty sure I haven't seen Simon says. But like I watched the trailer. I'm pretty sure in Double Team, like the conceit was like Jean Claude Van Damme is like, I'm a special forces op and my, my cover is I own a martial arts studio in Quebec. But I feel like Rodman was like, yeah, I'm the hacker. I'm a computer hacker. I'm the hacker on this one. I download the computers and type in the computers. I think inside it says he was the secret agent and Dan Cook is the computer hacker.

[Sam Richardson]

And like he's a secret agent but like with the dyed hair and like the lip ring, it's like you're only you.

[Mike Mitchell]

That's when like hackers were like, I need to have like a leopard like spray painted haircut. God. The late 90s into mid 2000s versions of hackers.

[Sam Richardson]

Like hackers like what they saw people were doing.

[Mike Mitchell]

One of my favorite gifts I use to people is the GIF of Hugh Jackman in Swordfish cracking the code. He's like, it just shots of him typing. At one point he goes, ha ha,

[Sam Richardson]

mid typing, mid typing.

[Mike Mitchell]

Like if someone's like, hey, I gotta go online and make a reservation. Like I'll make the reservation and send that. Give him going. Made it, made it.

[Sam Richardson]

Done. Send.

[Mike Mitchell]

Should we watch Simon says to go.

[Sam Richardson]

I think we have to.

[Mike Mitchell]

Okay, let's do it.

[Sam Richardson]

I think we have to.

Yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

[Sam Richardson]

[Mike Mitchell]

Marty, I would be remiss if I didn't tell you this now. My 12 year old daughter, her favorite show is I Think youk Should Leave.

[Sam Richardson]

Oh yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

She loves it so much it makes my heart soar. Because it's like when I was 12 and I would watch like crazy comedy. Yeah, we just watched the other day. We just watched. I really hope Toilet Truck dies. I hope baby Duff dies.

[Sam Richardson]

I hope Duff dies.

[Mike Mitchell]

Are they doing more of those?

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

Thank you. Listen, listen. The world is completely fucked. We're in this war in Iran. They're going to try to like overturn elections and not have the midterms. The US dollar probably won't be the reserve currency in five years. But like as Long as I get new. I think you should leaves every 16 months. Months. I'm kind of okay with that.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah. I'll be well.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah.

[Mike Mitchell]

It's okay, though. It's okay.

[Sam Richardson]

This one might be. I think you're a bit of an egghead. So you know this one. What does the E stand for in the equation? E equals MC squared energy C equals

[Mike Mitchell]

mass C. He's energy. That's energy. That's what we're getting at right there. That's right.

[Sam Richardson]

And is it some speed of light squared?

[Mike Mitchell]

It's a speed. Energy is the speed of light squared. Matt, what is the C? We'll never know.

[Sam Richardson]

Yeah, I think it was a joke. He put it in there if I didn't want to know more science. What other physicists do we know out there?

[Mike Mitchell]

Yeah, come on.

[Sam Richardson]

We should know ten.

[Mike Mitchell]

We should know. Everyone should know ten physicists. At least.

[Sam Richardson]

At least.

No, they're just going to like. We're here at Slops restaurant in Fort Myers, ready to see if their fries, which are Kirkland brand, are boomerang. You know what I mean?

If you don't know the answer, say pass right away. If you get it right, I will say yes and toss the card. If you get it wrong, I will say no and put it right here and tell you the right answer afterwards. You are playing for one kilo of cocaine and $30,000 in tens and twenties.
