  • Quote [02:56, Holmberg]: "If you've ever seen Book of Mormon, you've never seen more deserving billionaires in your life. It's the funniest thing I've ever watched. It made me angry—it was so funny."

[C]

A comedy musical called Fire Fest. The musical is in the works. Take a Waititi and his wife Rita Ora are among the Producers, Are they.

[A]

In it though, or they're just not sure.

[C]

He says, I think the idea is exciting, weird, and potentially disastrous, which seems apt. And that's how I like to work. Can't wait to get started and snatch me some of that sweet American theater money.

[A]

Yeah, no, that's huge. I didn't realize how big until I was reading about Book of Mormon and the south park guys. Oh my Lord. Did that thing. It's insane. They're billionaires, you know. Are they really, the two of them, man? Not. Not combined each good on that. I think. I think Trey's worth 990 million and Matt's got like 860 or so. He might be actually more. It's incredible. Over those little cartoon characters and then they deserve it, though. If you've ever seen Book of Mormon, you've never seen more deserving billionaires in your life. It's. It's the funniest thing I've ever watched. It made me angry. It was so funny. It made me mad because I'm like, well, that's just as funny as funny gets. They've. They've capped out. Nothing can be as good as this. It was so good.

[C]

Stephen King shared his top favorite movies of all time.

[A]

He makes terrible movies though.

[C]

Sorcerer, 1977, the Godfather Part Two.

[A]

All right.

[C]

The Getaway, 1972. Yeah.

[A]

What's the Sorcerer.

[C]

In 1977? I don't remember. The only one that I most recent is.

[A]

That can't be your old one. That can't be your all time favorite movie.

[C]

Well, it's not in any particular order. Oh, okay, here's the point. Here's the 10 that he listed.

[A]

Oh.

[C]

Groundhog Day.

[A]

What kind of Humanka randomly answers that question out of order?

[C]

Yeah, here they are in no particular order.

[A]

I know, but that's like if I asked you, Brady, give me your top 10 movies of all time, you just. 10. They're not in order. I'm like, well, put them in order.

[C]

This one would be there.

[A]

Yeah, put them in order. Then I understand that you went through the list of the 10 that came to mind. Now put them in order. Sorcerer is nobody's favorite movie of all.

[C]

Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Great. Jaws, Mean Streets.

[A]

None of them are his. Mean Streets is great. Well, of course they're not. His movies are terrible. Except for Misery of the one of.

[C]

That are his that he technically. And those are. Those are the. He mentioned that he goes, I'm not going to put mine on there. I just want. But Misery, Shawshank, Redemption, Stand by Me. Green Mile.

[A]

Yeah, we just mentioned all of them.

[C]

Charlie Sheen is letting out little excerpts from his memoir and his documentary that's coming out. He Talked about in 2013, he and two friends went out on Loch Ness to try to find Nessie. They took a wooden rowboat, a kerosene lamp, a large hook, and a leg of lamb and a bottle of whiskey, and they went in there to drop it, like in Jaws, where they went out twice. Well, they never spotted Nessie. Charlie there said the second time was something happened that was kind of crazy. Gay sacks.

[A]

I told you about that. Gay sacks.

[C]

The people that were in the rowboat. The other two, Major league baseball player.

[A]

Todd Zeal, third baseman for the Cardinals and God Rockies. He played a lot.

[C]

And actor Brian Peck, the man known well is now in prison. He was in prison from 2004 for molesting underage Drake Bell.

[A]

That's right. He's the Nickelodeon guy. Also, Todd Zeal, I believe, is the guy who holds the record for four errors in one inning, if I'm not mistaken. I'm pretty sure that happened to Todd.

[C]

Seal jelly rolls. Wife wasted no time going straight into the juiciest questions. She got a lie detector. They put her, strapped her up with all the meters, and she answered every question that people accusing her. Like she denied having sugar daddies plastic surgery.

[A]

Oh, they thought she was a hooker for a while, right?

[C]

Yep.

[A]

Yeah. Who cares?

[C]

I thought she was.

[A]

She married Jelly Roll. She'll do it with anything.

[C]

According to the lie detector and everything. She. She denied it, said, no, I was not, and she passed.

[A]

Okay. Doesn't mean she hired the lie detector.

[C]

Trend. That they'll do. They'll hire the same guy. Dre. Dimatio. Sorry.

[A]

All right.

[C]

She stepped up early. Fans.

[A]

Always happening, big boy.

[C]

She decided to fight the geo engineering problem about global warming and stuff by going fully nude. It's too late on our only fans. She's.

[A]

We wanted to see that in 2002. I don't want to see that now.

[C]

Her bodies, you know, it's body paint.

[A]

Oh, this doesn't count. Adriana needed to show her cans on the Sopranos. If she's doing it now, it's too late. No, thank you. She's got to be in her 53. I just looked it up. You don't want to see somebody's cans for the first time at 53 when you've been staring at them since she was, what, 27 when the Sopranos started. That's when you got your first glimpse and you haven't seen her since. And now I get to see him. It's gonna be wildly disappointing. It's like I've like Pam Anderson. If she says, we wanna see my cans, I'm like, oh, my God. Cause your brain will flash back to what they looked like. You see him today, you'd be horrified. The ravages of time you missed the whole slow burn into what they are now.

[C]

Tommy Lee's crank.

[A]

Yeah, it's exactly. It's an immediate jump from 94 to 2025. You don't wanna see that. You got to catch a few glimpses along the way. So you can actually, you know, kind of. It's like the stages of man. You can't just go from a guy crawling to standing up straight. And that's the same with cans. Absolutely. Thank you. It's the theory of can evolution.

[C]

Someone did a rundown of the heaviest and lightest NFL mascots by weight. So the New York Jet. A jet is £110,000. The lightest.

[A]

Let me think. Hang on. The lightest one would be a cardinal.

[C]

1.5 pounds. It's not the lightest.

[A]

There's. Cardinals weigh a pound.

[C]

Yeah. They're saying Cardinal is. Yeah, one one and a half pounds. Is this just baseball or is this.

[A]

No, just football. NFL.

[C]

1.5 ounces.

[A]

I was gonna say Carton's not a pound.

[C]

The heaviest bird is the eagle. 14 pounds. Something lighter than an ounce and a half.

[A]

Trying to think of something that would be. The Browns. Be a turd. Is their mascots elf.

[C]

Isn't it the Browns, technically, or whatever.

[A]

I don't know what they're getting at with mascots because it's. Is it the Steelers or Steely McBean?

[C]

They do Steely McBeam. They. They. It's basically a dark.

[A]

What is it?

[C]

He's like Chargers. Lightning.

[A]

Oh, it's lightning. Crying out loud. That's dumb. Why did I not think of that? I don't think of the Chargers. All right, that's it. We're done. That's it. Larry's coming up next.
