Okay, here we go.

[Kyle]

I like this.

[Blake]

We'll call him smadam bovine.

[Adam]

No, no, no. It's that vine.

[Blake]

Okay, you didn't even have to say that. So Now I think it is, but go ahead.

[Adam]

Well, you guys were saying, smadam divine, dude. So that.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Leads people to believe it is me. I'm happily married with a child. Okay. And no gay man has ever had those two.

[Kyle]

Yeah, you're right.

[Blake]

You're right.

[Kyle]

You're right. Go off.

[Blake]

Okay. I want you to know for sure. No. Okay.

[Adam]

No, Hollywood, no gay man has ever had a family and a wife. Okay? That's true. Not even a thing that could happen.

[Kyle]

Absolutely.

[Blake]

I'm not gay no more.

[Adam]

But he was like, oh, I'm not gay anymore. And I'm like, what? And he was like, yeah, I'm not. I'm not gay. I. I have a girlfriend now. And I'm like, we're. You were like. I mean, he was very gay, dude.

[Kyle]

Elite.

[Blake]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Adam]

Like, war wore the. Wore it on it on his sleeve was just like flying the flag high. Yeah.

[Kyle]

What did he have there?

[Blake]

Because I feel like women. Women do it a lot.

[Adam]

Women.

[Blake]

I feel like women are lesbians for like a good decade, half decade maybe. And then they're like, you know what?

[Kyle]

Well, I think it's easy to kind of give up on men because they're so trash all the time. So you just go, yeah, we suck.

[Adam]

Says you.

[Blake]

We're dogs. Men are dogs.

[Adam]

Dogs, yeah. Yeah. But don't dogs rocks?

[Kyle]

Some dogs are pretty sick.

[Adam]

And dogs are kind of the best.

[Kyle]

I mean, Big Dog clothing's off the chain. I need to get more of those T shirts. God damn.

[Adam]

Top. Top Dog Entertainment. I like. I like Kendrick Lamar.

[Kyle]

Absolutely.

[Blake]

I sent you guys a picture of somebody from the 80s. Significant rocking big Dog. It might have been Schwarzenegger, like, getting off a private jet in Big Dog.

[Kyle]

I could see. I could see Arnold rocking Big Dog. He's allowed.

[Blake]

I think you might have.

[Kyle]

He's allowed.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Oh, is it the one where he's on the boat with, like, the model? Was he rocking Big Dog?

[Blake]

I thought it was a jet, but I get planes and boats confused. It is crazy.

[Adam]

Yeah, you always do.

[Kyle]

You sent Durs. You sent us, like, Arnold on a boat with, like, a Playboy model, and he's just looking like he's having the fucking best life ever.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Just smiling ear to ear, but I don't recall if he was wearing a shirt or not.

[Adam]

I bet Arnold's life in the 80s and 90s was probably unparalleled.

[Blake]

When do you think it peaked? Do you think it peaked before he was famous and he was just a crazy muscle?

[Kyle]

No, no, no, no, no, no. I don't. I don't. Because he was. He was celeb when celeb was like, he's planet Hollywood. Planet Hollywood. That was peak.

[Blake]

I understand.

[Kyle]

Come on.

[Adam]

Blake was b. I mean, he was having orgies on the set of Conan the Barbarian, so.

[Kyle]

Yes.

[Blake]

Yeah. But that's because he was coming fresh off of being an unknown.

[Adam]

That's what I'm saying.

[Blake]

Is that, like, at his peak fame, like Terminator 2 Judgment Day, he's too public.

[Adam]

It might be. It might be too much.

[Blake]

And so beforehand, he's just out there.

[Kyle]

I. I'm telling you.

[Adam]

I'm telling you.

[Kyle]

Hey, you're open.

[Adam]

Blake is telling us when he's opening.

[Kyle]

Hollywood next to his bro. Bruce Willis and sl, by the way.

[Adam]

Didn't like those guys. You got to read the book. You got to read the book that I recommended.

[Kyle]

You didn't like them?

[Adam]

No, I didn't like them.

[Kyle]

What the hell?

[Adam]

Well, I mean, Bruce, I think, was fine. I. I think they didn't give a. About Bruce Willis. They're like, yeah, this guy did Moonlighting, and now he does one movie.

[Kyle]

Like, who cares? Okay.

[Adam]

But him and Sly Hate was Bruce.

[Blake]

Willis only in one movie. I can't remember.

[Adam]

Hated each other.

[Kyle]

Yeah, they hated each other. Hated each other. Was it just like, what? It's just alpha dogs not being, you know, here's dogs.

[Adam]

Alpha dog. There you go. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. That's why women don't like us, because there has to be, like, Kendrick's company name. There has to be a top dog entertainment.

[Kyle]

There does, right? Who's your top dog? Oh, it's Arnold, right? Arnold is all the way the top dog.

[Adam]

Oh, for me, he's my top dog.

[Blake]

Well, so let's just get into this. Let's get into this. Let's. Let's start weighing.

[Adam]

Please, please.

[Blake]

Let's do some pluses and minuses. I'll join Adam and just say, like, for sure it's Arnold.

[Adam]

It's without a doubt Arnold. Yeah.

[Kyle]

It's no contest.

[Adam]

Unrivaled.

[Blake]

But who has the best? Who? Let's say. Let's do a few things before we go straight to best movie. But, like, who's the best actor?

[Kyle]

It's probably Arnold.

[Blake]

Oh, my God.

[Adam]

Blake.

[Blake]

It's definitely not Arnold.

[Adam]

It is not Arnold.

[Blake]

It's definitely Arnold Last.

[Kyle]

No, dude, you're tripping. No, he is, dude.

[Adam]

Ron, get to the chopper now.

[Kyle]

Brothers, when's the last time you saw Kindergarten Cop? He plays it. He gets there, dude.

[Adam]

Not actually. Not that. Yeah. Not that long ago.

[Kyle]

He gets there, dude.

[Adam]

He gets there.

[Blake]

No, he doesn't like this. In 2025.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Blake]

The. The fact that you had to say he gets there tells everyone he's a bad actor. No one says dude. In this new Daniel Day Lewis movie. He gets there, dude.

[Adam]

You should have seen Mel Streep in this newest film. She got. She got there. It took her a minute.

[Blake]

Took her. Took her.

[Kyle]

Okay. Yeah, fair enough. Okay, those. Those people you expect to be there when they arrive on set.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

And Arnold kind of.

[Adam]

And by there, we just mean speaking good.

[Kyle]

Speaking clearly.

[Blake]

Yeah. No clear English. Like, understandable.

[Kyle]

Yeah. You don't have to go back in.

[Adam]

Adr, which, by the way, none of these guys are great. Like Stallone, like, doesn't speak clearly.

[Kyle]

A little bit of a mumbler. Bruce.

[Blake]

Is Bruce the best actor?

[Kyle]

Well, he kind of sometimes will just whisper so much, you can't, like, understand what he's saying.

[Blake]

Okay. That's trademarked.

[Adam]

Yeah. I don't even know if he's a great actor. I think none of them are. Are good actors.

[Kyle]

Wait a minute.

[Adam]

That's not what you're there for.

[Kyle]

Dude.

[Blake]

Have you seen Rocky?

[Kyle]

Story of Us. Have you seen Story of Us? Hello. Bruce Willis and I believe Michelle Pfeiffer.

[Blake]

No, I haven't.

[Adam]

Yeah, dude.

[Kyle]

Oh, guys, you gotta watch Story of Us. You got.

[Blake]

Okay, Is that like. Is that about, like, terrorists over a library?

[Adam]

No, no. Is this that movie that I walked in on you crying about while one. While one man said no, you.

[Blake]

He was going to inseminate him with. Infect him.

[Adam]

Infect him with.

[Kyle]

Please. You bring it up a lot. It's called. It's called Angels in America, and it is a pivotal play movie. All the. You can't keep citing that.

[Adam]

All right?

[Kyle]

You need to educate yourself.

[Adam]

Well, I walked in on you crying watching this.

[Kyle]

It's a very powerful movie.

[Blake]

Let's just say it's become core memory for Adam.

[Kyle]

Yeah, very powerful.

[Adam]

Okay. Was Stallone the star of it? Because I kind of turned around and got out of there pretty quickly.

[Kyle]

No, Pacino. Pacino is okay.

[Adam]

We'll see.

[Blake]

Okay. He's like a wetter. Older Stallone.

[Adam]

I'm not gay no more. Yeah. Not a top dog in. In our top dog situation scenario. That's. He's not a top dog, but.

[Kyle]

I know. Okay, but I'm just saying to.

[Blake]

Wait, what? Because, dude, First Blood and Rocky, those are, like, good acting movies for Stallone.

[Kyle]

Yes. He has a monologue that's unreal in Rambo. First Blood. He's talking about roll until, like, the wheels fall off or whatever.

[Adam]

And he's crying.

[Kyle]

He's like, yes, what is it? He's like, it never ends or whatever.

[Blake]

And it's insane in Rocky, the first one. He's unreal.

[Kyle]

Yeah, yeah. He's probably the best. Now that you mentioned.

[Adam]

Between the two of them, it is Stallone, but I wouldn't call him a great actor.

[Kyle]

He's pretty good.

[Blake]

We're not talking about anyone else outside of this throuple. Okay. It's just these three.

[Kyle]

Oh, I would watch that throuple.

[Blake]

But here's what I'll say. I think those might be the two best performances, but I think career wise, I'm gonna give it to Bruce. I think Bruce is better in more movies.

[Adam]

I'm pissed now.

[Kyle]

He's great.

[Adam]

What movies is he in? He's in the, like, sense.

[Blake]

Sixth Sense. Sixth Sense. He's pretty good.

[Adam]

You're right. Six cents.

[Kyle]

Fifth element.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Fourth.

[Adam]

Fourth.

[Kyle]

I don't think.

[Adam]

What is fourth, Blake? What is fourth?

[Blake]

I was just trying to go six, 50 all. I think he's great in all the Die Hards.

[Adam]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I like Bruce Willis.

[Kyle]

He's great. He's fantastic. And story of us, guys, you gotta see it.

[Adam]

Okay? Jesus Christ.

[Kyle]

You gotta see it.

[Adam]

Pulp Fiction. He's cool in Pulp Fiction.

[Blake]

Pulp Fiction.

[Kyle]

He's unbelievable.

[Adam]

Well, he's also just, like, cool in a lot of stuff. He is Bruce Willis being cool and all his.

[Blake]

Right?

[Kyle]

Yeah. Come on.

[Blake]

And so wait, do we want to get into who is the coolest? He's the coolest.

[Kyle]

Yeah, Yeah, I think so.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Blake]

I mean, but Sylvester wants to be cool. But his name is Sylvester and there's no overcoming that.

[Kyle]

Also, he didn't take steroids. The other two did. The other two took steroids.

[Adam]

So does that make them cooler?

[Kyle]

No, I say, I think it makes them less cool.

[Blake]

Oh, interesting.

[Kyle]

Okay, wait. Whoa.

[Blake]

Adam and I are disappointed in our future selves.

[Adam]

Wow.

[Kyle]

I'm just saying, it's kind of cool that he just, like, was accepting of. Of his natural body. I'm a fan. I like that.

[Blake]

Yeah, yeah. He just kind of, like, looked good in a T shirt.

[Adam]

Guy Blake's not gay no more.

[Kyle]

I like the way he looks. I like his. His regular body.

[Adam]

Okay.

[Blake]

I feel like Sly, like, trying to name himself Sly. It just was.

[Adam]

I don't think he named himself Sylvester.

[Blake]

Of course he did. Dude.

[Kyle]

Sylvester.

[Adam]

How. What? Sylvester.

[Kyle]

Did you guys watch his. His reality show? It's a good window into the into the man. Into the father.

[Adam]

No, didn't.

[Blake]

Didn't know. Are we still talking about Sly?

[Kyle]

Yes, Sly. He has.

[Blake]

What was it called?

[Kyle]

I don't know, Life. It's like Sly guys with his daughters. It's with his daughters.

[Blake]

The life of Sly.

[Adam]

Oh, yeah. And his, like, incredibly hot daughters. Is that right?

[Blake]

He's just trying to put his daughters on.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Oh, it's pretty good, dude.

[Blake]

Hang on. We're not done here.

[Adam]

I. You know, it would. It'd be disappointing to have that hot of daughters. You really don't want.

[Blake]

Who's got the hot of the three of them? Who's got the hottest daughters? No, who. Who has the best movie out of the three of them?

[Kyle]

That's really hard because the story of us is so good.

[Blake]

I know. That's why that's. This is called content. We could just talk about this for 20 minutes.

[Kyle]

Well, we. We talked all movies last. Well, maybe we're movie guys.

[Adam]

A lot of movies.

[Kyle]

Maybe we're movie guys now.

[Adam]

Hey, we're the movie guys. Yeah.

[Blake]

Welcome to these are the movie, by the way.

[Adam]

I mean, I know he was going through stuff and he was just. I. Bruce Willis.

[Blake]

Okay. What are you gonna say?

[Adam]

I. I heard he made a. I'm. Maybe I talked about this on a previous podcast, but he made a. His contract was a million dollars a day, so that's why he did so many shitty movies. So, like, you'd get. Recently, in the last 15 years. 10 years. Yeah, yeah. Which is kind of a long time. But he would do a million dollars a day so they could get him for like, a smaller move, could get him for like five days. But then they'd put them on the poster and they would just work them all day, 12 hour days for those five days, and then he'd walk away with 5 million bucks.

[Kyle]

Brilliant.

[Adam]

But, like, he came out.

[Blake]

What's the problem?

[Adam]

So many. I mean, yeah, he's. So many bad movies that you've never.

[Blake]

Heard of, but that's perfectly fine. That's like the Liam Neeson thing. Liam Neeson has done countless movies in the last 10 years since he said he wanted to murder black people.

[Adam]

Did he say that?

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Blake]

You never heard? We talked.

[Adam]

I don't even remember that.

[Blake]

But he said he told somebody in an interview that, like, his sister had been, like, assaulted.

[Adam]

Allegedly.

[Blake]

Sure. I don't know. Everything I say on here is allegedly, but, like, allegedly, like, his sister was assaulted.

[Adam]

Stand by it.

[Blake]

The person. I. I will die on this hill.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Blake]

In fact, I don't want to talk about anything else in this episode.

[Kyle]

Oh, God.

[Blake]

And the person who assaulted her was black. So he, like, went out walking on the streets.

[Adam]

Oh, I do.

[Kyle]

It was. They wrote it into the. The new Naked Gun.

[Blake]

Yeah, he, like, went out walking on the streets and was like, if I had seen somebody black, I think I would have beaten him up. And he was like, that's how powerful. He goes. That's how powerful. Like, racism is like. You can feel these things. He's like, I didn't act on it. Meanwhile, the person interviewing him is like, go freaking see it. If you're subscribing to the YouTube channel, you just saw the funniest face. He was.

[Kyle]

He was like a voice on Trolls.

[Adam]

And it was. Yeah, it was just for, like. It wasn't like a real interview. It was just for, like, when they do those, like, press junkets. And it's just like, hi, this is from, you know, a small channel in Indonesia. And he's like, yeah, I'm gonna give you the scoop of a lifetime.

[Kyle]

You know, Indonesians, while we're at it.

[Blake]

Wait, where are you from? Okay, you're cool. You're cool. You're co.

[Adam]

So essentially, like, let me know. Have you guys heard of Survive the Night, Hard Kill, Breach, Cosmic Sin.

[Blake]

Seen it, seen it.

[Adam]

Out of Death, Survive the Game, Apex, Deadlock, Fortress.

[Kyle]

Guys, we can't just list movies again. This is what we did.

[Adam]

American Siege, Gasoline Alley. I'm just saying, you haven't heard of any of these movies, and. And good for it. Good for him.

[Kyle]

I haven't. But you guys haven't heard of the Story of Us, and that is a fantastic.

[Blake]

By the way. Yeah, Adam, that's the whole other thing. You just named seven movies I've never heard of. Yeah, I bet we could do that with all of them, where you're like, what is that movie?

[Kyle]

They're probably great.

[Adam]

I doubt you can with Arnold. I really doubt you can. That was just in the past three years. So let me. Let me look here.

[Kyle]

Okay.

[Adam]

If I can. Arnold Schwarzenegger. So let's see.

[Blake]

Yeah, work your way backwards.

[Kyle]

Okay.

[Adam]

So, yeah, I mean, he does have some. He does have some you don't know about.

[Blake]

Thank you.

[Adam]

These are, like, game shows.

[Blake]

And though he did one with, like, Scott Eastwood, didn't he? Where they're, like, in a helicopter or something.

[Kyle]

Oh, boy.

[Blake]

Here we go. List them.

[Kyle]

Just list them.

[Blake]

Oh, my God. The name of this episode, the Dudes.

[Adam]

List Movies Again thing sucks again.

[Kyle]

Big list, guys.

[Adam]

Okay, so Kung Fur too, right?

[Kyle]

Okay.

[Adam]

But we Know that movie. So. Sure. Of course. Kinda. And then he did some State Farm commercials.

[Kyle]

We can't just. You can't just list the commercials. He's been.

[Adam]

I know that's on IMDb it is.

[Kyle]

I don't know why this is worse than last week.

[Adam]

Terminator, Dark Fate. He just hasn't done a lot of movies.

[Blake]

I don't give a. Terminator. Dark Fate. Never heard of it. That's a video game. Probably. Right where he did the Voice.

[Adam]

It made $261 million.

[Blake]

That's a pretty bright face.

[Adam]

Yeah. Iron Mask. We don't know what that is.

[Kyle]

Okay.

[Blake]

It's all coming together.

[Adam]

Why we're killing Gunther. I've heard. I know that movie because my.

[Blake]

That's Taryn.

[Adam]

Yeah. Terry. Kill him. Did it.

[Kyle]

Oh, yeah, I remember that.

[Blake]

But we know Taran.

[Kyle]

Here we go.

[Adam]

Maggie is Expendables 3.

[Blake]

Maggie. What's that?

[Adam]

Yeah. So he just has done less movies in the last.

[Blake]

Was he getting a million a day on that?

[Adam]

That was in 2015. So essentially he hasn't done. And Terminator. Genesis. He hasn't done a lot of movies in the way that Bruce Willis has just turned them out.

[Blake]

Yeah. And then what's Slybin doing?

[Kyle]

The reality show. The reality. And the list.

[Blake]

That's a bummer.

[Kyle]

And the list keeps listed. Baby, let's do it.

[Blake]

Just saying.

[Kyle]

Pull them up.

[Adam]

Goodbye.

[Kyle]

There he is. Hot off the press. What do we got?

[Blake]

For a second I thought all of us froze.

[Adam]

Sorry.

[Kyle]

No, I think it's riveting.

[Adam]

He did a movie called A Working Man. He did Alarium. He did a movie called Armor. He did a movie called I'm Living in a Nightmare.

[Blake]

Oh, he was doing the. The TV show.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Blake]

The. Like Tulsa King.

[Adam]

Then he did Expendables for Guardians of the Galaxy. 3 Creed. 3.

[Blake]

The Creed movies were a beautiful thing for him. Beautiful situation.

[Adam]

Absolutely. They were. They really.

[Blake]

And he kind of like brought that first one.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Blake]

Like into.

[Kyle]

It was.

[Blake]

It was nice. Into the world. It was very like Maverick. New school, old school.

[Adam]

Then did Rambo.

[Blake]

So.

[Adam]

Yeah. You know, he's.

[Blake]

He's doing his shit and he writes all these movies and. Doesn't he direct all the new Rambos?

[Kyle]

Think so.

[Blake]

So we're leveling him up for some reason.

[Adam]

No, no. He wrote Last Blood. He's. Stallone is for sure the most talented.

[Kyle]

Right, right.

[Blake]

Well, I don't know. Have you heard Bruce Willis's band?

[Kyle]

Thank you. Remember Bruno the Bear? The cartoon? Very good.

[Adam]

Okay.

[Blake]

What is the. What is the name of his Band.

[Kyle]

I don't. That's a Kyle question.

[Blake]

Can you pull up the list of his band names?

[Kyle]

That's a Kyle question. I'm pretty sure he's seen him live a couple times.

[Blake]

The fact that we don't know his band name is crazy.

[Kyle]

It's like. I think it's Bruno. Oh, the Accelerator.

[Adam]

The Accelerators. I. Yeah. Wouldn't have guessed that. Wouldn't have guessed that.

[Blake]

Do you guys know Keanu Reeves? Band name? That one. I know.

[Adam]

Who's that? What's that?

[Kyle]

What's that one?

[Blake]

Keanu Reeves is an actor.

[Adam]

I know.

[Blake]

I think it's. I'm pretty sure it's called Star Dog.

[Kyle]

Star Dog.

[Blake]

I'm pretty sure.

[Kyle]

Right?

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Blake]

Unless it's Dog Star.

[Adam]

Yeah. Star Dog.

[Kyle]

Star Dog. Doesn't sound like a thing.

[Blake]

Todd, help me out here.

[Kyle]

Todd, help him out.

[Adam]

Okay, so. So he's saying that Bruce Willis's band named the Accelerators. He did, however, have a musical alter ego. Bruce Willis is Bruno Rattle Ratolini.

[Kyle]

Yes. And Bruno the Bear was the cartoon that he was the voice of back in the day, which was really tight, dude.

[Adam]

I mean, we should get some alter egos. Having an alter ego is so sick. Remember when Bruce Willis just came and said that he was, like, a totally different person and that he was a rock star, not a country star?

[Kyle]

Oh, you mean Garth Brooks.

[Blake]

Who?

[Adam]

Yeah, didn't I say that?

[Kyle]

You said Bruce Willis.

[Blake]

You just said Bruce Willis.

[Kyle]

Right.

[Adam]

Garth Brooks. Garth Brooks.

[Kyle]

I was like, I missed that.

[Adam]

And everyone's like, this is so stupid. And. And it was. But also pretty hilarious.

[Kyle]

Chris Gaines, wasn't it? Was it Chris Gaines? It was. And he. And he wasn't like, he had, like, bangs and he had a little. He had a little stinger.

[Adam]

Oh, he did like, a whole thing.

[Kyle]

Like, he swung and he kind of missed. He kind of missed.

[Blake]

Doesn't that make you respect him more, though? It makes me respect him more.

[Kyle]

Dude, look at him. He looks like Criss Angel. Mind freak.

[Adam]

Dude. If Chris Gaines. If he did, like, if one of us did something like this.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Adam]

And, like, went on a comedy tour with this hair and little stinger and just did an alter ego and, like, that was your thing. It would be maybe the funniest thing any of us have ever done.

[Blake]

Yeah. Crypto.com sellout.

[Adam]

We would have props. We would get each other props for that for years to come. But this was a completely serious. Taking himself very seriously in this new.

[Kyle]

It was not a joke. It was not a game.

[Blake]

I guess I kind of like, it. I kind of like that he was like, I'm gonna do something weird. Like. Because it's, like, one thing to be. Hang on. It's one thing to be a guy who writes music about your life, like a Willie Nelson, a Johnny Cash. Right. They're great. They do their thing. But it's another thing to be an artist who's like, I just want to say things that I don't even think I would say. I want to see what that's like.

[Kyle]

So what Chris Gaines was. Was him writing from the perspective of like, a. Like a goth bro. I never listened to the music. Like, was he not.

[Blake]

Are you saying that? Are you asking?

[Adam]

Oh, what, you. You haven't?

[Kyle]

No, I mean, like. Cause I was kind of.

[Adam]

Hey, well, pull up a. I mean, you're. You're on the keys over there. Pull up some Chris Gaines.

[Blake]

Yeah, let's get a. Let's get a list of tracks.

[Kyle]

I'm hypnotized by his eyes. But, like, because it would be cool if he. Chris Gaines. And then he was like, I'm not. I'm not doing music. I'm doing.

[Adam]

Because David Bowie. David Bowie would do this type of.

[Kyle]

Right.

[Adam]

And he would call himself Ziggy Stardust.

[Blake]

Look at you.

[Adam]

But when David Alad.

[Blake]

Insane. The Thin White Duke.

[Adam]

But when David Bowie would do it, you're like, yeah, it works. You're acting like you're from outer space. And he would, like, put a big star over his eye and have insane hair. And you're like, yeah, it just works when David Bowie does it because he kind of seems like he's from outer space anyways.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Garth Brooks was like a down the road stadium country singer to then pivot and say.

[Blake]

Or was he? Adam?

[Adam]

You're Chris Gaines. A Persona to explore a different musical genre and develop a movie character. Oh. So we wanted it to be a movie character. The plan was for Gaines to be.

[Blake]

And Todd. Todd, if you don't pull up Keanu Reeves band name in 10 seconds, you're fired.

[Kyle]

Dog Star.

[Blake]

Star.

[Kyle]

Dog.

[Blake]

Dog Star. Thank you.

[Adam]

The plan was for Gaines to be a fictional rock star in a movie called the Lamb, which was never produced. The album released under the Gaines Persona was intended to generate interest in the film.

[Kyle]

Right.

[Blake]

Keep reading, Keep going, keep going.

[Adam]

And Keanu Reeves band name is called Dog Star.

[Kyle]

Okay.

[Blake]

No, I meant K. Keep reading about Garth.

[Kyle]

Okay, thank you. What?

[Blake]

Good, good, good.

[Kyle]

Because Garth Brooks, I don't believe is on Apple Music. That's kind of crazy.

[Adam]

They've. They've erased Everything but Blake.

[Blake]

Great poll.

[Kyle]

But I do think I can find some Chris Gaines on YouTube. Would you like to hear?

[Blake]

I think that's what he was asking for.

[Adam]

I would love to hear the most popular.

[Kyle]

Well, lost in you appears to. There might be a commercial, guys, so get ready.

[Blake]

You don't have YouTube commercial free yet?

[Kyle]

No, dude.

[Blake]

Skyrizzy.

[Kyle]

God damn it.

[Adam]

Is this for Skyrizzy?

[Blake]

Is your butthole itchy? Sky?

[Kyle]

Riz, this is for a pen or something. Okay, here we go.

[Adam]

Yeah, we're. We're going Wegovy.

[Blake]

Dude. I have a pen thing, by the way. Got a really good pen thing.

[Kyle]

Oh, dude, this video is already sick.

[Blake]

Nora Jones, you know, she wrote this. Oh, my God.

[Adam]

This feels like a female singer songwriter from the early 2000s. Wait, this is Chris Gaines. Yes.

[Kyle]

It's kind of fire.

[Blake]

Absolutely. Not mad at it.

[Adam]

Beautiful.

[Blake]

He's gains my appreciation.

[Adam]

Wait, this is him? This is him singing?

[Blake]

Yes.

[Kyle]

And we can't do anymore. Hold on. I want a little point. We can't do anything. I like it. He kind. He looks like Trent Reznor first off. And he's sitting.

[Blake]

Wait, it's neither Trent nor Reznor.

[Kyle]

How did you just say that, Dude? Trent Reznor. It's Reznor, isn't it?

[Blake]

No, I mean, it's spelled that way, but. All right.

[Adam]

It is not Trent Reznor.

[Kyle]

Anyways. It looks like him. It looks like somebody from the Crow, and he's sitting in the middle of, like, a crowded, it appears to be, like, train station. And I will revisit this track as soon as we end on the pod, because that was kind of sounding a little fire.

[Blake]

Blast that one at three in the morning and see what happens.

[Kyle]

Oh, the neighbors are coming over.

[Blake]

You're getting a text.

[Adam]

Yeah. All the crows just descend upon your guest house.

[Kyle]

Start pecking at the window.

[Blake]

Did you guys watch the new the remake of the Crow that just came out?

[Kyle]

I have not.

[Adam]

Didn't even know that's a thing. That's real.

[Kyle]

Have not.

[Blake]

It's starring Sylvester Stallone, Schwarzenegger. It is the longest. It is the longest movie you'll ever turn off. Halfway.

[Kyle]

Really?

[Blake]

It's wild. You're just watching. I mean, they started dating, I think, after the movie. So you're just watching Skarsgard and FKA Twigs Fuck, yes. And Fall in Love, and you're like, all right.

[Kyle]

The trailer looked very sexual.

[Adam]

You said it's not good.

[Kyle]

Yeah, that sounds hot, dude.

[Blake]

It's very boring. It's very boring.

[Adam]

It's got 4.7. Oh, out of 10? I thought it was out of five. Okay. Okay. Well, dude, by the way, 10 stars. Just go five stars like everyone else.

[Blake]

It's a lot of stars.

[Adam]

That's too many stars.

[Blake]

I thought it was four stars, wasn't it?

[Adam]

That's five stars.

[Blake]

Hey, whatever happened to two thumbs up?

[Kyle]

I think. I think Siskel and Ebert own that.

[Adam]

Dude, I don't. I did. Not even. And who's FKA Twigs?

[Blake]

Musician. Actress.

[Kyle]

Yeah, musician.

[Adam]

Oh, okay. Never even heard of her. I'm out of it, though.

[Blake]

She was Katy Perry, and then she changed her.

[Adam]

Okay, that makes sense.

[Kyle]

I hear you guys. You guys hear me. My screen is absolutely frozen right now.

[Adam]

Now. Dude, it's because you played Chris Gaines without paying for it.

[Kyle]

I think I'm. Yeah, I think I'm like, I don't know how to eat.

[Adam]

Yeah, you. You just froze up. But it's pretty exciting that essentially.

[Blake]

I'm listening.

[Adam]

There's a reason Tom Segura, on their podcast, he, like, really makes fun of Garth Brooks all the time and says that he's a serial killer. So much so that Garth Brooks has stated that he's not a serial killer, which is hilarious. But you sort of catch serial. I understand why Tom went down that road. Because you catch serial killer, like, vibes from the guy.

[Blake]

Okay. I wouldn't know. All I've heard is that 15 second part of that song, and I'm. I'm in.

[Adam]

Well, he does have some bangers. Have you ever heard of Colin Baton Rouge? I've never heard it's a banger.

[Kyle]

Dude.

[Blake]

All I remember is being on a recruiting trip in high school at Kansas.

[Adam]

Nice, dude. We get it. You're a job.

[Blake]

And they. They were like, hey, let's throw on Thunder Road.

[Adam]

Oh, is that one?

[Blake]

Yeah, they were like, turn up the Thunder Road. And I was, like, not going here, like, instantly, I was like, I can't jam with these guys. This is not for me.

[Adam]

It's essentially stadium rock for country. My aunt was a huge Garth Brooks fan.

[Blake]

And so what is his jam? Achy Breaky Heart.

[Adam]

No, that is Billy Ray Cyrus.

[Blake]

I. With that dude. He's dating somebody super hot right now, right?

[Adam]

Is he?

[Blake]

Isn't he?

[Adam]

I mean, I'm. I'm. I'm assuming he probably is. Oh, the dance. And he also. Oh, it's.

[Blake]

Thought I got Friends in low places.

[Adam]

Yeah, friends in low places. That was his banger. Okay. And then thunder rolls. That's. I'm surprised. I don't, like.

[Blake]

I don't know. That one.

[Adam]

And then Colin Baton Rouge is a. A heat rock, baby.

[Blake]

Huh? Is that one of those songs where he, like, calls them on a phone and you hear the people pick up?

[Adam]

No.

[Blake]

Like. Like Cookie Puss or something?

[Adam]

No, no, no. Much different. Much cooler. Way cooler than whatever the hell you said.

[Blake]

Cooler than Cookie Puss?

[Adam]

Yeah. Yeah. I've never even heard of Cookie Puss.

[Blake]

That's okay. Launched a career.

[Adam]

Well, is Blake coming back here? I hope he. I hope he gets back because honestly.

[Blake]

Dude, I think we could just do this.

[Adam]

Oh, how are you?

[Blake]

How are you, dude?

[Adam]

Good. Now. Did you have.

[Blake]

Whoa.

[Adam]

A. Oh, there. And welcome back. We were struggling without you, dude, I'm sorry.

[Kyle]

I was weird. I. My computer just.

[Blake]

Adam said, do you know my birthday? And I just pretended like I froze.

[Kyle]

I'm sorry about that. My. My completely just. It just, like, shut off.

[Adam]

It's okay. It's okay. Bam. Did you guys. So we're. It's after the fourth now. It's. It's after the fourth now. Did you guys have a good fourth? Are all fingers intact? Anyone injured? Any crazy happened?

[Kyle]

My fourth was pretty chill.

[Blake]

It didn't seem that show. You sent a video just bragging about the crowds.

[Kyle]

Well, I mean, it was chilling. Like a. Like no fireworks way. We. The. The hardest fireworks.

[Adam]

No fireworks.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Adam]

Well, that's not chill. That sucks.

[Blake]

Right? That's.

[Adam]

That sucks, dude. That's not American.

[Blake]

That's so chill. It's bad.

[Adam]

There was no fireworks at your fourth of July party. You didn't see it? There were fireworks.

[Kyle]

There were.

[Adam]

Hang on. Wait. The. Shut the up. Wait.

[Blake]

Oh, right.

[Adam]

I'm so mad.

[Blake]

Go ahead.

[Adam]

Are you serious?

[Blake]

Take your time out.

[Adam]

There was no fireworks.

[Kyle]

There were. There were sparklers. There were sparklers. But as far.

[Blake]

Don't even say that as if you're, like, crawling back into good favorite here.

[Kyle]

Dude.

[Adam]

I. Fourth of July is my all time favorite holiday. I love.

[Blake]

Wait.

[Adam]

I love everything I love.

[Blake]

No, this is my favorite holiday.

[Kyle]

Oh, God, shut up.

[Blake]

You said you like either Christmas or Thanksgiving. I can't remember.

[Adam]

I like those holidays, too. Those are my favorite holidays.

[Blake]

So are you with me? Are we in this together, Adam?

[Kyle]

God.

[Blake]

Are we kissing?

[Adam]

I think. Yeah. And if I didn't say fourth of July, then it must have been not. I feel like I remember how much I love the fourth right around a few weeks before and a few weeks afterwards, and then beautiful thing, and then it fades away. But I love it. I've always loved it.

[Blake]

Right?

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Blake]

And, Blake, you hate the troops. You don't Support them.

[Adam]

Yeah. What's your deal? You don't like America?

[Kyle]

Yeah, I'm not. I'm not a warmonger, okay?

[Blake]

I've seen Blake take a troop seat on an airplane before. Yeah, he made him sit up front.

[Kyle]

It's not about.

[Adam]

It's not about warm on mongering. It's about loving America. And I could see Blake not loving America in a. In a weird way.

[Kyle]

Well, that's not true. I drew. I drove a USA Flag jeep for a long. A long time.

[Blake]

Seems like a cover.

[Adam]

Hiding in plain sight. Yep.

[Blake]

Exactly.

[Kyle]

Well, yeah, I'm. I mean, it's definitely not my favorite holiday. I did. I had a lovely fourth of July. I'm not much of a pyrotechnic guy. Crazy. I did have some sparklers.

[Blake]

And, Adam, tell him your high school nickname.

[Kyle]

It was fine.

[Adam]

We call me the rocket man, and I think you knew that.

[Kyle]

We know.

[Adam]

Donkey.

[Kyle]

We know. Oh, but it. It. It was fine. It was fine.

[Blake]

Adam, how was yours? How was it down there?

[Adam]

Oh, awesome. It was awesome, dude. It was. We normally have a fourth of July party that I think you guys have been to, right? I know Blake's been to it. Yeah. You've been to it once, right?

[Kyle]

It's great.

[Blake]

Y.

[Adam]

It gets a little out of hand. So there's. We've had parties where maybe too close to 200 people have. Have showed up throughout the day, and. And then. And then I have food trucks, and it's catered, and we're on the beach, so it's. You know, the kids are having fun. This was way more chill. We had maybe 40 people there, tops, throughout the whole day.

[Blake]

Everyone got a food truck.

[Kyle]

You get a food.

[Adam]

Everyone had their own.

[Kyle]

Absolutely.

[Adam]

No, it was like. We just ordered some food, and I went by boat and picked it up, and it was idyllic. And then the. And then night fell, and the. You know, there was, like, 15, 20 people there left, and the fireworks were over the bay. It was a magnet. It was magical. It was. I. I was like. I. A tear dawned my eye. I was so excited.

[Kyle]

Did you get emotional?

[Adam]

I did. Dude, I love the fourth of July. It's my favorite.

[Blake]

Okay.

[Adam]

I don't know why, but I.

[Blake]

Interesting.

[Adam]

Love.

[Blake]

It's all very interesting to me.

[Adam]

I love it.

[Blake]

It's the best.

[Adam]

Yeah, it's.

[Blake]

I.

[Kyle]

For me, it's like, now I'm got. Like, it's fine. Come on. What do you guys.

[Blake]

For me, the 4th of July when I was a kid was, like, the freest day.

[Adam]

Absolutely.

[Blake]

Because What I'm, what I'm realizing now, my parents were so drunk, they couldn't know where I was.

[Adam]

There's no way to tell really.

[Blake]

And so I was just gone. And I'd come home around like, like nine or eight, whatever and we'd like find our way to the fireworks at the beach. And I'm drunk now. That was it. And it was hot as fuck.

[Adam]

Oh, it's so hot. And you're, you're just in like swim trunks all day long. The whole day, all day. And you're like. And even for me the other day I was like, you know, I'm in swim trunks, I'm swimming, I get out, there's no towel. I just air dry. It's the best.

[Blake]

Yeah, doesn't matter. I'm gonna shit my pants. You, you find a burger that's been sitting there for an hour. Doesn't matter.

[Adam]

It doesn't matter.

[Blake]

You put some mustard on it, it's fine.

[Adam]

It doesn't matter. And, and as a kid, I am in agreement with D. Maybe this was a midwestern little boy thing, but you were just allowed to go out. My dad gave me a, a gross of bottle rockets and, and then those, the butterfly ones, the ones that you can throw and then they go.

[Kyle]

I love those, the spinning ones.

[Adam]

Oh yeah.

[Blake]

What is it?

[Kyle]

The flowers.

[Adam]

I think they're called the, oh, the flowers.

[Kyle]

Flowers.

[Blake]

You throw it or you can throw it to throw it, but you set it down and then it spins and jumps up.

[Adam]

Set it down and spins and it jumps up. But if you throw it, if you throw it, it goes and it spins down, which is. Sorry.

[Blake]

That's some rocket man. I, I, yeah, it's kind of a rocket man. I bow to the, the rocket man that a boy never got fireworks from my parents.

[Adam]

And I stuck one, I think I've told this story. I mean I for sure have stuck it in a post in my front yard yard and I lit it and I had got brand new LA gears like maybe the week before. And I am lighting it like this. Like an would or an 8 year old is how old I think I was. And I dove out of the way last second when I realized I had lit it and right into a cement truck. Now you dove right into a cement truck. No, I dove and I kicked my feet up. It, it hit the gel pouch on the LA gear lightups and got stuck in there. There. Blew up, totally ruined the shoes. They did not light back up. But did it make it cooler? And a cool story to say when I went back to school that next year that the reason my LA Gear light don't light up is because I'm such a rocket man.

[Kyle]

Yeah, that's.

[Adam]

Yeah, it was a cool story.

[Blake]

Dude, is that where the name came from? That thing where you were like.

[Adam]

No, no, no, no.

[Kyle]

That's when he shot it in a girl's titties.

[Blake]

Oh, sorry. Thank you. Thank you, Blake.

[Kyle]

Gotcha, bitch.

[Adam]

No, that wasn't me. That was a. That was a close friend of mine. That was not me. That was not me. I did not disform any tits in my childhood or in my adulthood.

[Kyle]

Okay, fair enough.

[Adam]

No deformities.

[Blake]

Must be nice.

[Kyle]

Not even this Fourth of July, huh.

[Blake]

Blake, what about you? Do you ever deform any.

[Adam]

Yeah, see, this is. See, this is what sucks about and makes me go like, oh, Blake isn't as cool as I once thought he was. The fact that you don't love 4th of July in a way that. What's your deal?

[Kyle]

I don't have beef with it. I. I love hot dogs. I. Like I said I enjoyed. It was actually turkey. They were turkey dogs or pork.

[Blake]

Yo, dude, just.

[Kyle]

It was a lot. It was a long stop, all right? The line for the beef dogs was so long. And a beef to turkey hot dog to me is not that big of a jump. Hey, buddy, it's not that big of a jump.

[Adam]

It's a huge leap. It's not a jump. It's a chasm. Beef to turkey.

[Kyle]

Beef the turkey dog, isn't it?

[Blake]

Dude, have you seen the movie the Gorge?

[Kyle]

I don't think so.

[Adam]

Based on that, it's a fucking castle.

[Kyle]

Turkey dog is fine.

[Adam]

Blake, Blake, Blake.

[Blake]

And also, no, a turkey dog is not fine. Stop it.

[Adam]

Fire up your own fucking grill. On the 4th of July, you were at your fine house. How's the line long if you're on your grill?

[Kyle]

Because guess what, motherfucker? I had two barbecues. I had a communal barbecue, and then I had a family barbecue where I manned the grill and I made the burgers and Daddy made the lamb chops.

[Adam]

Lamb chops?

[Kyle]

Yeah, I did lamb chops. And they were delectable. My dad's preseason, it was delicious.

[Adam]

Fourth of July, lamb chops.

[Kyle]

It's okay to represent some other cultures during Fourth of July because we all come together.

[Blake]

What cultures are lamb chops from?

[Kyle]

Greek. Greeks eat lamb.

[Adam]

Yeah, but it's not. It's not. I mean, mean.

[Kyle]

I mean, that's what makes USA great, is we all come together and we eat all sorts of Foods, Turkey, dogs.

[Adam]

You're right, you're right, you're right. I mean, we ate Mexican food. I had a bunch of tacos and so I can't talk.

[Kyle]

Okay, good.

[Blake]

Excuse me.

[Kyle]

God damn.

[Adam]

Now, in the afternoon, there were burgers and there were dogs.

[Blake]

Okay, so we wrap them in a taco.

[Kyle]

Okay.

[Adam]

You know the special guest who showed up to my house?

[Kyle]

Oh, don't say Trump, Kyle.

[Adam]

New A check.

[Kyle]

Oh, okay.

[Adam]

Braces and all full on. Somehow more braces than even the last time I saw him. There's so many braces in his face.

[Blake]

And is he, is he eating turkey? Is he eating. What's he eating?

[Kyle]

Oh, you know, he's, he's fully, he's fully back. I actually got sushi with him.

[Adam]

Yeah, I, I didn't notice. Well, I, I, I didn't really clock what he was eating, but he did not have a problem with anything that was being ate, so I was good.

[Kyle]

I actually got the real story about his braces. He really did ratchet them up because he's trying to get him off in time for the premiere. So we told his orthodontist, Crank the motherfuckers.

[Adam]

Let's get this. Well, by the way, the premieres. Are you guys going to the premiere? I'm going.

[Kyle]

Yes.

[Adam]

Yeah, you're going to be there in New York.

[Blake]

You're going?

[Kyle]

Yes.

[Blake]

You're going.

[Adam]

I'm going New York.

[Kyle]

Yeah, yeah.

[Adam]

I'm gonna be.

[Blake]

Flights.

[Adam]

I'm gonna be.

[Blake]

Let me look at flights.

[Kyle]

Okay, good.

[Adam]

You gotta go. You gotta go. I'm gonna be in Charleston. So it's just a little hop, skipping a jump. And Chloe and I are, are both gonna go. We're gonna have a blast.

[Kyle]

Oh, sweet.

[Blake]

Well, I'll see you there when it. Well, whatever. We'll talk. We'll talk offline as we do almost every day.

[Adam]

Yeah, the Happy Gilmore 2 premiere. Yes.

[Blake]

He ratcheted it up.

[Adam]

I don't know if you can really do that, but I love that Kyle.

[Blake]

Goes to the dentist and tells them.

[Adam]

What he wants to ratchet it up.

[Blake]

Yeah, like, huh.

[Adam]

I feel like a. I was also.

[Kyle]

Like, well, why the. When we were kids, why didn't we just, like, get it all done in a month?

[Adam]

Probably because it gives you headaches and it hurts because our parents told us.

[Blake]

It was too expensive and we were not getting them. And your teeth, it can be bad until your grandma dies. And you're gonna buy any fake teeth, right?

[Kyle]

There's also that have, have perfect teeth.

[Adam]

Except for weird gaps and weird places.

[Kyle]

Yeah, but I guess they can really, like, crank the metal and really start to. To move, shift your teeth, if you're down, for it, to, like, be very painful.

[Blake]

But what is he doing for the pain? Just.

[Adam]

He's drinking again.

[Kyle]

He's back on the sauce.

[Blake]

Is he drinking again?

[Adam]

No, no, no, no, no, no.

[Kyle]

He'd be outside your window right now.

[Adam]

I noticed there was no car windows up and down the street. He just went up and down and started punching them all. No, he was in great spirits. It was awesome seeing him. The. His kids made really good friends with some friends of ours. Their kids had kids the same age.

[Blake]

Yeah, perfect.

[Adam]

That was sick. My son drank his first course light, so that was pretty exciting.

[Kyle]

Oh, did you get a pic?

[Adam]

No, we didn't get a pick because it wasn't planned. It was sitting there and he's just walking around. You're. We're all watching him. Everybody's going like, he's so cute. Every. All the eyes were on him. We're like, look how cute he is. And then he just grabs a full beer and goes and pours it, like, on his eyes.

[Blake]

Oh, he's got those keys. He keys it.

[Kyle]

Yeah, he poured it in his eyes.

[Blake]

Yeah.

[Adam]

It was crazy. And by the way, I'm like, oh, my God, it's going to burn. It's. He's going to, like, cry.

[Kyle]

No, no, he liked it.

[Blake]

He sees better. He sees better now.

[Kyle]

He got extra.

[Adam]

Extra power, dude.

[Blake]

He was like. Probably had too many beers. He's got the Coors vision.

[Adam]

I'm drunk now. We grab it very quickly. I don't know if he got more than a little gobble, but that's all I needed. Baby boy needed the taste. The taste started early.

[Kyle]

Oh, yes.

[Blake]

In the words of Vanilla Ice, that boy was hooked. Freaking. See you. Good deep cut. What?

[Kyle]

A good deep cut off of Vanilla Ice's first album, to the extreme. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

[Adam]

So. But I live on a peninsula, and to get off, off after the fireworks, that's when everyone leaves. And this was a huge Fourth of July because it was a Friday, Fourth of July, and everybody could get that one off. And yada, yada it took. People were leaving, like, during fireworks, and a. A small group. You just kind of the locals that, like, rode bikes there or, like, you know, had a golf cart that could. They could get on the sidewalks or whatever, whatever. They all stuck around. And so did Kyle, and he drove from the hotel that he was staying at, and he took off after fireworks after we had some pizza and he's like, all right, bye. Bye, everybody. I'm locking up. I clean up and then I get a call going, dude, I am. Or a text, rather. I just want to let you know I'm. I'm back in your driveway. The kids are asleep. I'm just going to sleep here. And I'm like, what? Gonna sleep?

[Blake]

Freaking. See ya.

[Adam]

I'm like, just go home. And so I'm like thinking it's just some weird Kyle, you know? And I'm like, okay.

[Kyle]

Got in a huge fight.

[Adam]

Yeah, that's what I assumed. I was like, well, maybe he got a fighters. I have no idea. And so I'm like. I walk out, I'm like, is everything good out here? And it was. Traffic was backed up to my house, which I'm at the end of the peninsula, so it's a far to for traffic to be backed up.

[Blake]

Say your address over two hours.

[Adam]

Oh, to get off the peninsula.

[Kyle]

Oh, my God.

[Blake]

Full disclosure, this is 100% of the reason we can't make it on 4th of July.

[Kyle]

Water.

[Blake]

It's just too crazy.

[Kyle]

It's a lot of moving parts.

[Blake]

If we had, like, older kids and could hop on e bikes to a place where we parked our car, that's where we need to get to.

[Adam]

But people that left during the fireworks, they drove right off, Right?

[Kyle]

You're just missing fireworks.

[Blake]

That's fine. Yeah, but you know me, dude. I need to see that.

[Kyle]

He loves fourth of July. He's got a secret fire.

[Adam]

I'm with you. And I'm with you. But, you know.

[Blake]

Yeah, you know, mad at what I said.

[Adam]

You know what? I brought them into the home. They slept in the guest room.

[Kyle]

So, you know, that's great.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Okay. Water trash.

[Adam]

It was nice. It was nice having Kyle and the gang.

[Blake]

Yeah, Kyle. Tell me about Kyle's. Well, no cow's kids on the podcast.

[Adam]

Oh, they're great. They're great. Very cute.

[Blake]

They're great. Yeah, I don't mean like an ingest. I just haven't seen them in years. Christ. And you guys know how religious I am. Christ.

[Kyle]

You guys got a link.

[Adam]

Older, turns out older.

[Blake]

Older than you think.

[Adam]

Yeah, I really noticed with the daughter, I was like, oh, she's like a actual walking, talking person. The last time I saw her, she was like a little toddler, like two years old ago.

[Blake]

Yeah, that just reminded me. I'm. I'm in Oregon right now. As you can see by my wooden walls, it looks that I literally put my hand on and got a splinter up into my nail which was painful.

[Kyle]

Splinter.

[Adam]

Splinter coming.

[Blake]

I watched Uncle Buck on the, on the flight up. Second.

[Adam]

Second.

[Blake]

It's a perfect movie. It's the best. And when he's Uncle Buck.

[Adam]

Oh, that's not Chuck and the John.

[Kyle]

The John Candy vehicle.

[Blake]

John Candy.

[Adam]

What am I talking about? Second place.

[Blake]

Chuck and Buck.

[Adam]

Chuck and Buck suck.

[Blake]

And they're almost the same movie but just different locations. But when he's driving into the suburbs, cuz he's just said, sure, I'll come and watch your kids while you goes. While the parents go check out a dad who's had a heart attack or whatever. He's driving and he's talking to himself and he's like, okay, the old one, she's probably. What is she, 10 by now? And then he's like, then there's the new ones. What are their names? Larry and Jennifer. But the kids are like 17 and like 8 and 7. That's just like typical uncle. No kids has no idea. Time flies so fast. And when you have kids it's like, it's a marker. You didn't, you weren't here for those years of like them existing.

[Adam]

This is the way. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, and I feel that way a little bit with your kids and why it's. It's nice now that I have a kid. So I feel like I'm getting those invites to the, the family events.

[Blake]

And I appreciate that you're coming to Easter Bab.

[Kyle]

Oh yeah, get in there.

[Adam]

It's nice to clock in with them because I feel like, you know, you go a year or two in a kid's life, you're the absentee uncle, you know.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Adam]

They don't even know who the, who the hell you are.

[Kyle]

It's the greatest form of a calendar is a child.

[Blake]

It's, it's why we need you to keep doing more commercials and movies, Adam, so that they can see you during like basketball games and stuff.

[Kyle]

There he is.

[Blake]

They just, they stroke the tv.

[Adam]

Well, I'm going to do more commercials that they can actually, I can send to them. Like the circle Circle, you know, when they. Yeah.

[Kyle]

Oh yeah. Give you kids.

[Adam]

Any take backs, any apologies, any epics.

[Kyle]

Oh my gosh, are we there already?

[Adam]

Time flies.

[Kyle]

You know, I'd love to. I. I'm really sorry. I'm Todd. I'd like to apologize. When my computer short circuited, I lost, I lost my initial audio recording. So you're gonna. Gonna have to help me out there. But I'm really sorry, man.

[Adam]

Disappointed? I thought you snapped at Todd. I Thought you were gonna be like, I'm sorry I called Todd a idiot or something. It's like rude, dude.

[Kyle]

No, I'm just like, oh, I hope, I hope we can salvage that because all those lists about Sly and Arnold and I hope my side of the audio is on there.

[Blake]

I, I, yeah, you know, I think I just want to do a final take on the Sly Bruce, a wrap up Hollywood rap. I think I, I just want to give the crown.

[Adam]

Okay. My favorite movie star of those three is Arnold.

[Kyle]

Okay.

[Adam]

I would say best actor for me is Bruce and most talented is Sly.

[Blake]

Uh huh.

[Adam]

But all around, all around creative force.

[Blake]

And I think I agree with all that. But I still, I think I want to give the crown to Arnold for two reasons.

[Kyle]

Yeah, okay.

[Adam]

He's the best.

[Blake]

And I could be wrong about this, but I think I'm right. I think Predator is the greatest film out of any of their movies altogether.

[Adam]

Yeah. Okay.

[Blake]

Terminator 2, I think die Hard is very far up there. I think Terminator 2 Judgment Day is also very high up there. As far as Sly's movie, break out the list. I think Rocky's great. But anyway, I give the crown to Arnold.

[Kyle]

Okay.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Blake]

Because also you, when I see him as a person, you like him on Instagram or whatever.

[Adam]

Best movie star, right?

[Blake]

I feel like he's just the man.

[Kyle]

Yeah. Great governor.

[Adam]

Well, in that book, I think it was called like the Last Action Hero. Everyone is in total agreement.

[Blake]

You bought that? Thinking it was about you. Yeah, absolutely. A book about me, honey?

[Adam]

Yes. My, my stunt work in, in Outlaws, when I'm dressed as Shrek in the the bank.

[Kyle]

Eyes pretty good.

[Adam]

It's right up there with, and no, he's, it's pretty. Everyone's in agreement that Arnold was the coolest. Yes. Yeah.

[Blake]

Well, I don't know if he was the coolest. I don't know if he was the coolest.

[Adam]

I think he was, he was the one, he was the leader of men.

[Blake]

I think he's the guy that I would want in my homie or in my like homie circle.

[Adam]

Yeah, he's like the leader of men. He's the one that everyone's like, yeah, it's. Arnold's the best. And he's also like the guy that, that like no one was saying bad shit about him. Like, he never was. Like when they, everyone was dunking on Arnold, everyone across the board was like, or, sorry, a Sly. Everyone was like, slay is a piece of. He's a total monster.

[Kyle]

Well, and also Conan the Barbarian is a really rad movie too. It's up there. That movie's up there.

[Blake]

Yeah, I agree.

[Adam]

Running Man.

[Blake]

What about Destroyer? You like Destroyer?

[Kyle]

Yes.

[Adam]

New Glenn Powell. Running Man. Have you seen the trailer for that? That. It looks kind of cool.

[Blake]

I don't watch trailers, but I know that it's closer to the book, which I just read last year, so that's exciting.

[Adam]

Yeah, it looks pretty cool.

[Kyle]

Cuz the original movie, they're like in a game, and then this one is like kind of everybody against you. Everybody in the world.

[Blake]

Okay, that's the book.

[Kyle]

Okay, so that's the book.

[Blake]

It's a show where you get selected out. Like, you apply and then you get selected and then essentially like. Like Big Brother and the world are all looking and if they get to turn you in, like, they get money and that kind of shit.

[Kyle]

Gotcha.

[Blake]

So everybody's incentivized to get you murdered.

[Adam]

Cool. And it's Edgar Wright too. And Edgar Wright is a truly talented filmmaker. I mean, Baby Driver is a great movie that I think was a little slept on. I feel like people don't.

[Kyle]

I remember seeing it, but I would have to revisit that one.

[Adam]

Baby Driver. It's awesome, dude. It's really, really cool. Cool. And Coleman Domingo's role in it, My agents were like, oh, you're right up there for it. You're right up there for it. And I'm like, am I on the short list? And I'm like, no, but we've been talking to the director about you.

[Blake]

They were lying. It's a black person in the. In the book.

[Adam]

And he said, that's interesting. And I'm like, oh, am I going to get it? And then never heard from it again. And then Coleman Domingo got it. And I'm like, yeah, it should have been him. He crushed. I mean, he's. He's perfect.

[Blake]

But it's a black dude in the book too.

[Kyle]

So you agree with the casting?

[Adam]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Blake]

So, like, why would they. Can you guys hear me? Yeah, Y. Yeah.

[Adam]

Yeah.

[Blake]

Adam's like. Adam won't hear. He's like, doesn't matter if he's a black dude in the book. I would have crushed it.

[Adam]

I would have crushed it, dude. I would have.

[Kyle]

I believe in him.

[Blake]

I've seen pictures. I haven't watched the trailer. I hate watching trailers. I don't want to watch trailers.

[Adam]

Trailers.

[Blake]

I do want to see the movie because trailers ruin movies.

[Adam]

Lame.

[Blake]

Yeah, it must be. Must be lame. Trailers ruin movies. Somebody help me and I'll see the movie.

[Kyle]

That was another episode.

[Adam]

Dude, why aren't you playing us out with Chris Gaines, homie?

[Kyle]

Because it broke my.

[Adam]

Dude, I'm pissed now.

[Kyle]

That's why my. My whole entire. Went to hell. What happened?

[Adam]

Piss now. This is an I Heart podcast.
