Hey everybody, welcome to Infinite Weekend Podcast episode 7575. Zach here, josh over there. Yo, how's it going? What's up, man? Have you ever heard of semen retention?
Josh:It's funny, you say that I have.
Zach:Okay.
Josh:Well, I remember the last few years that's been a thing, even on socials it came around. But I'm going to look it up so everyone's on the same page. Well, supposedly All right, go ahead.
Zach:You, you withhold your semen. Yeah, you don't jerk off, you don't have, you know, some people are talking about come here People. Some, some people have the ability to to have sex, but then they just they never, they never that's right, yeah, they just, I just pleasure the other person, man, woman, whatever and then, uh, and they just never get there. And then they call, I guess, cool off, and then they just never bust and the idea is that that's your power. It's like an aura thing. Okay, it's an energy thing.
Josh:Yeah.
Zach:That if you, if you withhold the nut, then you're able to control your mind, body and all that kind of stuff. And then it's like a, it's a I don't know, it's like a new age thing. I've heard people this was a.
Josh:This was an American rapper. This was an American pie too.
Zach:Maybe. Yeah, I thought he was.
Josh:well, it's, it's had to like Tantra.
Zach:Yes, it's had it.
Josh:Yeah, you can have sex for hours by retaining.
Zach:Well, the idea with this the new thing that they're in with semen retention is not so that they have like a euphoric experience the next time they do nut.
Josh:The whole idea is to not ever come, because it's something about it's like that's all the rapper you're talking about.
Zach:It's the rapper Gates, yeah.
Josh:Kevin Gates. Is it Kevin Gates? Kevin Gates, he was talking about it.
Zach:Odd dude and he's like, yeah, I have sex with women. They get theirs, but I never get mine. He's doing the semen retention. And in his mind it's like made him a better rapper professional and all this kind of stuff I'm going to look here for you, we'll get some facts. All right, give me the Webster's edition.
Josh:It refers to the practice of intentionally avoiding ejaculation, typically through abstinence from sexual activity or by stopping sexual stimulation before orgasm. Semen retention has been practiced in various cultures throughout history, with roots in ancient religions, spiritual traditions. Proponents believe that retaining semen can provide various benefits, including improved health and vitality, increased fertility which is not true enhanced sexual performance, spiritual growth. There's scientific evidence. So yeah, abstinence for short periods within one to three days. They even tell you that before you do a semen sample to like withhold for a couple of days, but you don't want to exceed because sperm will die.
Zach:Yeah right.
Josh:Yeah, if you're holding it in your tank. But some says that short periods, up to a few days, may slightly increase volume and sperm concentration. But longer periods, opposite affect people. Yeah, the cereal goes bad in the box. Right, I mean yeah, exactly there's. No, there's no semen retention for till there's no semen retention proof. Until there's no evidence to maintain that, has it come by? Date it's a personal choice. Right, I like to call that marriage.
Zach:Yeah.
Josh:I think a lot of married men are practicing semen retention unknowingly.
Zach:Yeah, that's involuntarily, involuntary semen retention. Involuntarily celibate the incel. Yeah, that's correct. No, I'm thinking more a like maybe I'm giving away too much here of my own psyche but there's nothing we have not said on this podcast over the last year, but uh you know, sometimes, uh, and maybe I'm alone here- I'm not alone, but maybe you're not part of this.
Josh:I might be.
Zach:You know, sometimes, like you, you just get into. Maybe it's different when you're married, but you sometimes you know you jerk off and you just you're getting into a jerk off smorgasbord. It's a fucking week-long festival. You're just having your way. All you want to do is jerk off. Oh no. Sorry, I've never heard that, where it's just like a week or a couple days where you're just like I just want to jerk.
Zach:Maybe it's a depression thing. Maybe young, yeah, mostly when I was younger. Obviously not now. I think there's levels to the libido or whatever but definitely when I was younger, it'd just be like I couldn't, couldn't stop. I probably did, man, I can't. And then I would go fucking weeks, months, not to say months, but like you go for a while where you're just like no dry spell. You go through like a hot streak. Yeah, Hot streak. Yeah, that's where you're like.
Josh:Yeah, like it's but it's that's hormones, I'm like yeah you know I'm I was much easier time to get to myself than me Get someone else.
Zach:Well, so anyway, when they kept Kevin Gates, I saw that video where he was talking about he's doing their semen retention thing. Feathers in his hair, but there's something to be said about control like controlling your desires in that way.
Josh:Don't let your desires control you. You know I'm saying yeah.
Zach:I mean I think having a clean mind I think would be more like but if it's like some things, like you know, when you're hungry you need to eat right yeah, if you're horny you want to jerk off?
Josh:yeah, but but that's not necessary no, treat it. You kind of treat it like as if I'm hungry, I would like to get that cheeseburger. It's like, man, I'm just going to settle over there. So if you're like, oh man, I'm really in the mood like, eh, it'll be all right.
Zach:Right, there's something about you know this is obvious, everyone knows this that if you indulge every desire and whim, then you're going to have an unsuccessful life.
Josh:Too much of a good thing can be bad.
Zach:Sometimes, like you said, I'm craving a cheeseburger. I don't need to eat cheeseburgers every day, right, even though I love cheeseburgers and I would eat them every day.
Josh:I don't want to compare masturbating to eating cheeseburgers.
Zach:The concept of depriving yourself or a small sacrifice for betterment. I think that also does apply to senior attention.
Josh:I'm not a big masturbator in my older years. That's not really my thing anymore.
Zach:I mean, I guess it's routine, I guess Mine's few and far months Anyway that's something I thought about. I might give it a shot, try it.
Josh:You know what I'm saying then report back to us for a men. Guys listen like, hey, maybe, who knows, I don't know yeah.
Zach:I don't, because I, even when you're in that mode, when you're on that like hot streak, yeah, just mentally, like that's kind of where your mind is kind of at it's just constantly in this state of I'm not like arousal, but like you're just I don't know like a dog sniffing around. You know what I'm saying, like that's all you do, you are, you might be like what's really happening here you?
Zach:know what I'm saying, and so that's kind of like taking over your focus for the most part when you're on that hot streak. Yeah, really it's just a fix.
Josh:Yeah, you get a feeling it's like, ah, and then, but it's so, it's so quick anyways, yeah, and you see, when you're done, you're like yeah, like you walk around, got any of them pornographies.
Zach:Yeah, right, yeah, you're exactly right, yeah, and so you cause I get the desire and the hit.
Josh:Retent, retent. I'm going to retent, retent. I'm going to seem and retent Okay.
Zach:And then I'll report back.
Josh:Keep us posted. Keep us posted. I would do a month. Yeah, I think that's a really good Four to six weeks.
Zach:Well, this is like the kind of the whole November thing which I've never been able to succeed at.
Josh:Oh of like as like a challenge kind of thing, more of a as a mental exercise. Yeah, and there's two schools, I thought I've heard, where, like some say, masturbation is, is healthy and it reduces prostate cancer, and I think there is some findings there somewhere I've never delved into them and then there's some that say don't like it's. There's always going to be your naysayers and your people say do it like you've always been doing, like yeah, I don't know I think it's what makes you.
Zach:I think it's somewhere in the middle. It's like yeah, if you, if you like, never bust a nut for like years on end, that's probably a problem, uh. And then if you're doing it like twice a day, every day, like okay, that's a problem there is.
Josh:I mean obviously like there's a lot of endorphins and things that are released there's. I mean it can also solve, it can also fix headaches. I mean there's a lot of benefits to it as well during that time. But I don't know if there's. I've heard where even some doctors have been like having so many releases a week or whatever can reduce the risk of this, this, this, this and this. I'm like who?
Zach:the fuck knows who knows.
Josh:Every day, there's always something new that's going to kill you, or there's always something new that you should be doing to extend your life, like every day there's something new that someone has come up with for you to do yeah or don't do?
Josh:yeah, and it's. It's so overwhelming that I'm like I've really limited myself on on socials and I even reset my algorithm. You can do that now. You can reset your algorithm on Instagram, and so I only listen to like people that I give a shit about and other than like if it's something that says like, as soon as it's like wake the fuck up, and I'm like Nope, uninterested, not interested. These high performance people.
Josh:I'm not interested in anything that you do and all those people that that they fucking come out with the water bottle, that big fucking dude and he wipes a banana on his face get fucked like I'm. I'm like. I think would be a more popular video would be show what a actual middle class person does. And they get like. I'll show you I can record my mornings and be like.
Zach:That makes a lot more fucking sense yeah, but I think, yeah, you probably could if you made that video, though, like it's yeah, I'm not super hot ripped up black guy well it wouldn't, it probably wouldn't, it wouldn't catch, just because everyone's like yeah, that's literally me every morning right, but let's be real.
Josh:Yeah, let's see what's, but who knows mine might be? You might not do breathing the exercise in the mornings with your push-ups before you have your first cup of coffee, you would have like like it'd be something small routine small routine things, but you know not a whole fucking, not a whole crazy thing.
Zach:But if you watch that video.
Josh:Did we discuss this last?
Zach:episode we might have. I don't want to go with him specifically, but that's right, I don't want to be a dead horse, but like that's I.
Josh:I see shit like that and I think like pick and choose, like I'm a lot more picky now.
Zach:I've unfollowed a lot of people like, and I'm starting now to don't google anything anymore, like don't well, I think a lot, a lot of those uh, you know the, the health influencers and these you know doctors that you know talk about, you know hacking your health and all this kind of stuff, here's what everybody's, I think, wants to in deep down, really just wants to hear from a doctor or somebody that's that's cracked the code. They just want to hear like if they'll do this, they'll never age and they'll never die, like that's, that's well, you're gonna.
Josh:Everybody's like literally, like kind of in the back of their mind what they're, what they're wanting out of this yeah, that's our problem.
Zach:You're gonna die but it's people that have not come to grips with it. That dude, you're born terminal, that dude that's a multimillionaire and he's like doing blood transfusions with 12-year-olds. Fuck him. He looks weird. First of all, he looks like a vampire. He looks plastic.
Josh:He takes 52 vitamins a day, which I'm a big vitamin guy myself.
Zach:Sure.
Josh:Because our foods are very stripped. To consume my life, you only get one shot at this, yeah and you're, so I just yes. And what's crazy to me is if you look back 40, 50 years ago, where people didn't have the access they have now to know everything or think they know everything, and like I mean, there's grandparents and people.
Josh:I know that these people are like in their 90s and 100s and they used to smoke cigarettes and drink black coffee five or six times a day and eat like shit and just work and they didn't look at any of it and guess what? They lived a long time. Yeah. We have now worried ourself to death on living longer, and that worry and stress is killing us off faster. Yeah, yeah.
Zach:Well, also, we're starting doing the normal life things that our parents and grandparents did. We're delaying a lot of that until later in life. So what's the point of living longer if you're delaying a lot of the things that you're supposed to be doing? I can speak for myself. Basically, my entire 20s was a giant fucking waste of time. Yeah sure, I'm not going to take it that far. I had a good time.
Zach:I have made a lot of friends you know, made connections and, and you know, did a different jobs and all this kind of stuff. But but you could take that, that 10-year chunk right from from high school till when I finally actually started, you know, making a quote, career or whatever was just a hodgepodge of just random things. You know what I mean, just aimless shots in the dark. Well, they tell you it's funny, but that's not the way. You like that and that to me. I think that that is more the norm, at least for my generation. I think I've been maybe Gen Z. Same way, I don't know what's up, where you're, you're, you know people talk about like you know, your twenties are for figuring it out.
Josh:They say you actually don't start until your thirties. But it's all subjective, I think the more.
Zach:what's more and more happening is people are, you know, using their twenties to figure it out. Well, now it's like they're still figuring it out in their thirties. Well, because the idea I can relate to that, yeah.
Josh:The idea of, of of marriage is different than it used to be.
Zach:Yeah.
Josh:People don't want to feel locked down. Yeah, part of it is that, and the idea of a woman being a a wife is no longer popular. Like you know, they're telling you to have kids later. Like take your time to do the things you want to do, like which, that's your choice. Like I'm not against anybody not wanting to have kids, it's your choice. Yeah, do what makes whatever brings you any source of happiness. True, but the family dynamic has changed a lot too. Like there's it's changed.
Zach:Like people aren't. It's not good for a society or a civilization when you have a bunch of 20s and 30-year-olds still figuring it out.
Josh:You're right and I don't know, and I've never talked to a lot of Gen Zers or people saying they're figuring it out, but I don't know if there's a fear of growing up, or they had. I've also heard, like when I had my midlife crisis or whatever you want to call it, when I turned 30, it's like I read in research that if you, when you're closing an era, when you're closing your 20s, if you're closing your thirties, forties, wherever you have your your session or wherever you feel that that overwhelming, whatever it was, because some of them said that you had so much fun in that era that, inadvertently, you're afraid of of it coming to a close, even though nothing's going to happen. You're not losing friends. You're not losing. It's just another step.
Zach:You know what I think it is. I think it's a option. Paralysis or you know, you've mentioned this before is comparison is the thief of joy, and it really is. I think that's actually what's actually going on. Underneath all these movements or trends of people going well into their 30s still figuring out is because they never really made a choice, because there's so many fucking options. We're all too connected, we're all too online it's too much access.
Josh:There's too much access. We don't.
Zach:We're all comparing each other off of each. You know everything that we do, that's correct with everybody. So we're like well, why would I quote, settle? Whenever you go on the internet and you see, like all these other people and all these other couples, you're're like I want what they have. Instead, you need to focus on what you need to do.
Josh:Everybody's trying to attain something else that somebody else has, and a lot of it's not tangible and it's not for you. And what else, too, is. We all need to come to a realization, and I struggle with this a lot too. You're only going to see the good stuff online. That's also the problem. You don't know the couple. You see that his wife's cheating, she's cheating his kids are terrible. He actually hates his fucking life, or she does, and that might be, sadly, their only. Their only source of their joy and their day, whatever you want to call it, is that is. And then I don't know what they're feeling on the other end. Yeah, their own stresses of I gotta make sure this gets enough follows, this gets enough likes. Why didn't this video do? Well?
Zach:it's all horseshit you know, what I noticed? Um, now, I think dudes are generally more like this. Women tend to post more on on social media, but I had this realization the other day when I was thinking about this, was that, uh, you know, I, I observe everybody else's and I have the same thing can happen to me. It's like I'll, I'll when you talked about where you like had to do a, a social media purge, to where, um, you know, your comparison is the joy. You're looking at all these couples and everything.
Zach:So you should have to detox every once in a while, so I mean that gets me to sometimes I'm looking slaving away like it's. So you know that that happens to me too, but I had this thought. I was like what if the the opposite's not true? I never post. I never fucking post on any social medias ever, like it's just not a thing that I do, right, so I was like probably better for it.
Zach:Probably. Well, I guess. I guess I mean, but like nobody, nobody in my past or in my present could look at anything on my social and be like oh, I wonder what he's been up to lately and could see what my life is the good but do they but it? Doesn't matter yeah.
Zach:So like if I, if I have the you see what I'm saying, Like I don't have this desire to post on there. So people outside the outside world from a social media perspective has no idea what I've been doing, how I've been, whether I'm married or not and what my job is like in nothing and, if you, there's no snapshot of my life.
Josh:If you got rid of your socials, no one's going to check. No one's going to know the people that matter. We'll check on you, yes, but like it's like when I did that, you know what I've been up to my core friends and family knows what people that matter people that matter.
Zach:That's what I'm saying, so like, and I don't feel like I'm losing anything or I'm missing out on by not posting.
Josh:You're not. We're actually not gaining for people like you and me. Now I know we have socials for the pod because there is there is good in social there is good there's connection, there's well, if you're trying to market yourself, sure?
Josh:and it's a great marketing tool. It's free. I understand the business aspect, but for everyday users like me, you or whoever you, really don't need it. Like you can go without it. Yeah, I mean, I kind of wish that we would do like you can't, because it's just like whenever they threaten to get rid of tiktok, everybody freaked out. If we could just go like eight months or a year without any of it, I guarantee you statistics would show an increase in in a lot of things that are down right now, just because we're just so like we're terrible at being bored.
Josh:I'm guilty of it. We're terrible at being bored. We always our phones. You go to restaurants now you see families all on their phones. We're so like, and even if you don't have your phone, if it's not on you, you inadvertently reach for it. Or if someone else's phone vibrates so you trigger it because you're like oh, that's what I do, and we all do it, and it sucks, created a monster like it is. It's the way of the world. I understand that and it's. I know that gen z meg hates millennials because we millennials are always trying to live back in the 90s and we always refer like the 90s were the best time ever. Well, that's because they were for one. Yeah, like from 1990 to like 2005.
Zach:Like it was awesome um, anyway, I had that, I had that thought. Um, whereas you know, I think there's two different types of social media users, people that have this feel, this need to post, and then the lurkers. I'm the lurker, yeah right, I like to just absorb.
Josh:I only post on our on our podcast pretty much.
Zach:Yeah, I love the podcast pages for posting whatever we'll share stuff in the group, chats and stuff like that. Yeah, but that's just part of like we would do the same thing if we were sitting in the same room.
Josh:We would and there's, like I said there's, there's good and bad, I don't. I don't think it's a necessarily an evil place. I just think that we we turn to it too quickly for everything.
Zach:I think you know and I had that you know kind of revelation about how my use is like no one knows in my past what I've been up to because I don't post.
Josh:And there's also when you disconnect to as well. You kind of get you'll. You'll be a bit of a sad thing too that you'll come back to social and you're like nobody even checked to see if I was all right.
Zach:I don't even go on Facebook. For me is for marketplace and birthdays. Marketplace. Yeah, market marketplace. I'll do like in the birthdays, cause you know I'm not a big birthday guy.
Josh:Well, I don't care about it, no, and I but you know, if it's, if it's somebody that I genuinely like, you know I want to. You know it's cause I I've always had this socials. You'll see, like when someone's birthday roses up, like you'll see the, these popular people, all their friends, make these posts like happy birthday, this rad guy. And they'll think like there's tons of pictures, they'll share memories of them on their happy birthday and it's like that'd be pretty cool to have that and then like people's birthday and they're just like not a fucking thing so, which is shitty and that's stupid. It's stupid. So it's I, you know, but you inadvertently want, you want to sometimes deep down. You want to be like the guy everybody likes. You want to be the guy that everybody knows. You want to be the cool guy to everybody, like there's. I think all men feel that way at one point or another.
Zach:Yeah, sure, I'm not saying all the time, I'm just there's just and it's.
Josh:It's going to vary.
Zach:Specifically about the Facebook birthdays thing. Let me tell you the last couple times that I've had birthdays and generally that's the only time I ever get any kind- of notifications because I don't post. Yeah, I post on your facebook on your birthday, generally, usually that's the only time I get any kind of notification on facebook. Is my birthday? Yeah, because I'm just not on it yeah, well, yeah so, so that so two years ago birthday got that?
Zach:I think too. I maybe it was two, three years ago, but uh, started getting in a day with a bunch of them and I think later on and I was like, you know, I just did like a. Every time someone would send one I'd like it, okay, you know.
Zach:So they just acknowledging that they hit me every birthday, yeah and then I think, like, at the end of the day, I did like thanks for all the birthday wishes post and that was it right. That was just being nice. This past time fucking did none of that. Who gives a shit right? I did none of that. I have some more people posted, or whatever. Happy birthday. The only time that I responded is someone actually who knows me well enough to be able to text or call me. That's who I would engage with. You know I'm saying like. So I just completely ignored this past time around the facebook I think maybe I liked a few of them, but at some point I was like I haven't seen you or talked to you in 10 years yeah I don't care.
Zach:Yeah, like if I wasn't even on this app, how would you wish me happy birthday? It's like this weird compulsion that we have. Maybe I'm being, maybe kind of an asshole. Renting it's okay, but I just find it just kind of. I don't like birthdays in the beginning, like first place.
Zach:At our age, at an adult age, like when you're a kid. Okay, fine, so I'm just like eh, whatever, yeah, you know, I just don't, it just seems silly to me, but anyway, and then also you've got to go through this it's like a ritual that we do, that no one really wants to do to where you've got to see someone's birthday oh, happy birthday. You don't talk to them about anything else. You have no idea what they're going on in their life. But you feel this compulsion to well.
Zach:it's their birthday, happy birthday it's a weird ritual that we do, that I just like. Can we just stop doing this.
Josh:It is, but I think what and I might be wrong here, uh, and you might agree, disagree I think what it is is that deep down, we all want to be just nice people like. I think we invert. We want to be nice like, even if we know, like because I'll tell you how birthday that I haven't talked to in person in years, I couldn't tell you their husband kid's name, I couldn't tell you. But sometimes I'll just see it'll pop up and I'm like I kind of like them, or we used to be acquaintance or we used to spend time, yeah, but I'll just be like, just quick and just like. I don't care if they acknowledge it, right, I just do it because it's, I don't know, I I do it, I'm guilty of doing it. Now, if someone pulls up that I don't like you, I'm not gonna like the shady that sounds like. I don't give a fuck about your birthday like yeah, but that and that happened.
Josh:That's normal. So I think what it is is that we just I kind of I wish everybody would be truthful about the way they felt about each other, and then sometimes I don't, because I feel like we would all be mean to each other all the time I'm not even saying like I don't know. Just I feel like we, if we lose some of the ritual stuff, we would all just hate each other well I don't know but the same people, I guess I hear.
Zach:I hear what you're saying, but I guess that's my point is that it's just, it's such a you don't talk to that like if you came across that person in the grocery store and they're like, oh, it's my birthday today. Like, oh, happy birthday. Fine, that that's being nice, yeah, but but you don't even necessarily know if, whenever you're sending the something over social media like that, happy birthday that they even saw it, yeah, you don't, you don't know, no, and so why? So I feel like a lot of that is it's performative, it's like this ritual thing yeah, we send happy birthday to let everybody know that we wish them a happy birthday.
Zach:Yeah, did you. Are you? Do you really give a flying fuck?
Josh:no, yeah, if I text you, I really care if you take, but like for you on purpose. I'll do it on your facebook and text you yeah, correct, so now.
Zach:So now, as I say, this and I'm putting this out to the world. The next time it's my birthday, I'm going to get inundated with fucking. Facebook notifications being like happy birthday asshole.
Josh:I do like it, because if I forget someone's birthday or I'm close to it, it does. Let me know oh cool, I was close. So yeah, it's. I mean, social has its place, man. Social has its place, man it does, in our world. Now.
Zach:I archived my Facebook a while ago and I've done nothing since, so it's probably still the same. If I did the archive again, it wouldn't update anything In preparation to delete it. Yeah, I mean Facebook. The only reason it's been hanging around is because of events.
Josh:People like to schedule events on there. The only reason I even had a Facebook in the beginning in high school was because we used to use it to creep on chicks in the summertime Because girls didn't dress as provocative as they do now, from what I've been hearing and seeing. We used to look for, like summer vacation pictures of their family because we might catch them in a swimsuit. So we're like, oh shit, she posted. And we like all grouped together on one person's Facebook and be like, oh that's pretty good.
Zach:That's what we use it for, and it was that's, that's that's kind of what it was, and then that's it Now on Instagram. What do you have to do? It's a lot easier to scroll because it's just pictures, so you can just see if there's. But you can look at like uh, uh, okay, this post was in, and then I get into July, yeah, or June, july, and then boom, here's the summer stuff, yeah, but what's great is with that?
Josh:guy that's so creepy. My favorite it is my favorite thing I ever saw was when a girl was like why'd you like a picture from so long ago? Are you creeping? He's like no, you just haven't looked that good in a while. That's funny.
Zach:And I was like I think I'm going to do that next time. Somebody had to be somebody. I know if it's just some random like you gotta be careful but it needs to be somebody that I know I'll. I'll find them on Instagram and I'll start going through the pictures. I'll like something from fucking five years ago.
Josh:I'll do it. I'll do it.
Zach:I'll do it. I'll report back and see if anything came up. I'm like yeah, you were really hot then.
Josh:I wanted you to remember as well and me that you were really hot then.
Zach:Actually, I need to stop being a bitch. I just need a friend request that hot barista at I talked about a few episodes ago.
Josh:Oh, I remember the hot barista. Yeah, she was cute, yeah, yeah.
Zach:And then I can like one of her posts from five years ago, and then but she still looks good. The day that I like, but.
Zach:But she was like 15. Then, wait, how awkward. You've got to be careful, I've got to be careful, I've got to look at the dates Right?
Zach:Yeah, I've got to do a little math and see like oh this is a birthday post. Okay, so now she's got to be, you know.
Josh:Yeah, be careful.
Zach:No, what I'll do is I'll invite her, like if this happened to you female listeners, but like if I think this would be kind of funny. I also love awkward, so I think awkward would be fun. It is fun but what if I did this? What if I invited uh, I friend requested her like that morning, yeah right, I got you and then rolled up in the window and got coffee and made sure she got did you see it.
Zach:Right, well, no, don't, don't address any of it. Don't don't address it at all, just be like friend request, right, make sure she like accepted and got and see at least saw it and accepted it or denied it. No, I guess she could just leave it on read and you would never know, that's true. But give it enough time to where you know she saw the request, right, yeah, and then roll up into the window, don't address it, order a coffee, do the whole thing, banter, whatever, and then leave. Yeah, and then like, if she accepts a friend request, like a photo from fucking four years ago, like as soon as you leave, like would that be weird?
Zach:Yeah, because then she'd be like. He'd be like now I have access, he's like man, he's been waiting on this right and then the next day see if she like which would girls? Would you ever say anything like if I was just a random guy that was like coming through your window or as a patron, someone or regular you saw all the time, invited you on facebook or in socials whatever, and then randomly started like a bunch of your old folks, would you ever say?
Josh:anything? No, because wouldn't I mean if On this side, if a young woman or whoever accepted my friend and then were liking my old stuff, I'm like, okay, well, they're touring my profile, that wouldn't bother me, it wouldn't bother me either. Because that's what we do, because if it's private, I have no access. Everyone knows everyone's doing that. If, if you accept it, now I can see what you were hiding, I'm gonna go look. Yes, you've given me permission right to be in here now.
Josh:That's the silly thing about liking a post from years ago and people were like oh my god, no you can't like that, like I'm looking shit, everyone's looking, everyone's doing the same thing. We all look, dude, I've done it, I'm guilty.
Zach:I'm gonna I it. I'm going to make this a. I'm going to make this. I'm going to break this, this cycle that we're in. I'm going to just start just randomly liking some years old posts of people when they look good. When they look good Right, not now when they look good.
Josh:It's like Tom Segura said in a podcast recently. He was talking about people like being big. Recently was talking about people like being big, like they were doing. They're talking about ozempic. It was with him and a guy named chris chris wilkinson from or williamson from uh, he's a podcast health guy too, yeah the british good looking dude buff guy um modern, something. I follow his podcast too.
Zach:I can't remember the name of it ways to wellness dude yeah, yeah, he's got a ton of followers great, he has everybody on um, but anyways, he just had tom segura on.
Josh:A couple weeks ago they were talking about ozempic and all these medications that they it showed that even gen z supposedly eating your brain yeah, gen z apparently has that that group has by, like they said, 30 to 40. 60 percent of them were like, yeah, I'll just use ozempic or one of those, like if I get big it's not a problem.
Josh:They're like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, and Tom Zagor tried some of that stuff before too, but he was talking about how people are so like brainwashed, where it's like. He's like they posted like you take Adele right, adele was a big lady, the singer, you know what I'm talking about. Adele looks awesome, she's a beautiful lady. He said they post a picture of after, when she looks great, and then before, where she was big, and they're all like I think she was beautiful both ways and he was like no, she wasn't. She said she wasn't ugly, but she looks better thin. Yeah, can we stop being dumb? We stop. Can we stop being dumb people, if everyone is chasing the thin game, no one's chasing. Let's be all fat like Like this whole. I don't know what this whole thing is like. Be comfortable Like no, stop that, shush.
Zach:Yes.
Josh:Everyone knows that thinner and smaller is looks better. It's a fact. It goes for us men too. That's the way it works, and I don't know why we're all like if she's beautiful, If she's beautiful both ways.
Zach:Yes, bull shit, and your body is designed to do that. If you did the things that were healthy for your body to to be healthy, you would not be fat, like that's just that simple.
Josh:So it drives me fucking nuts and also I've probably said this before, but I'm gonna say it again Cause it pisses me off. If you like have been giant your whole life and then all of a sudden you lose the way and like you're not a fucking hero. Sorry, everybody likes to cling to these people that like finally did they're like, you're my inspiration, like how about the people that have been maintaining this for like 25, 30 years?
Zach:yeah, hats off to you. Like everybody's just looking for validation, which? Is not which is not a sentiment that I necessarily. I think everybody to some degree is looking for some validation there's's there's levels of it. People that are looking for validation all the time about everything from everybody are a fucking problem, but everybody's looking for validation from something right. Either you're looking for validation from like your parents or your spouse your kid whatever kids your friends whatever.
Josh:It's good.
Zach:I think if you keep that, if you keep the where you seek validation very, it feels good. I think if you keep that, if you keep the where you seek validation very small, you're better off for it. But if it's like wide net and you got to get validation from everybody, I think that's the biggest problem, I think, with the whole trans fucking conversation. If you want to cut your cock off and call yourself Susan, by all means fucking do it. I don't give a shit, Just be nice, Leave me the fuck alone about it.
Zach:You don't need validation from me. You don't need validation from me. But I think that's the biggest problem with that community.
Josh:We prefer you to be hot. If you're going to do it, yeah right.
Zach:Exactly Because hot makes everything better. We all know this. This is laws of the universe. We're not saying anything revolutionary.
Josh:Yeah, this is hotter is better. You know what I mean.
Zach:You look better whenever you're thinner and hot. Doesn't matter, I don't care what you're doing. If you're hot, you kind of get away.
Josh:If you're going to be a dude turned into you, gotta make you gotta be hot, it doesn't matter.
Zach:Sorry, those. These are the rules. I don't make the rules, I'm just stating the. This is the laws of the universe and I'm just letting you know. Be hot. Well, saturday for the whatever the day. We hadn't done that in a, in a few episodes, so we thought we'd see the retention be hot, yeah, yeah.
Zach:But let's get back to business. Yeah, the thing that we kind of have been doing past few episodes is you know what we watched this week, what we liked, what we didn't like? Yeah, I'm going to start us off. Yeah, I'll do it.
Josh:I yeah, I'll do it. I started, which. I guess it doesn't matter if one of us haven't seen it or the other, because we would just use it as a recommendation. I did the Bondsman with Kevin Bacon, which is on Amazon Prime for anybody who's looking to do it. It's called the Bondsman One season, eight episodes, 82%. On Rotten Tomatoes, which I know you're not a big tomato guy, I use it for the audience score. I like it a lot.
Zach:I do percent on rotten tomatoes, which I know you're not a big tomato guy, I use it for the audience score.
Josh:I like it a lot. I use it as I do use it as a reference point, but not as like correct. I don't die on it. Yeah, exactly right. 7.1 on imdb prime video go to 7.1, um, but yeah. So I started that because a friend at work recommended it. Uh, he was spot on. I finished the show in a day. Yeah, it's it's. It's short and sweet. And I will say, if you're a kevin bacon fan, I finished the show in a day. Yeah, it's, it's. It's short and sweet. And I will say, if you're a Kevin Bacon fan, you'll like the show. The premise is not hard to follow at all and I can give you like a quick synopsis Bounty hunter dies, resurrected. Now, instead of hunting parole jumpies, whatever. He now hunts demons for the devil.
Zach:Is it basically like a kind of a re? It's basically the same. It's a basic premise but maybe slightly different of RIPD that movie, but better.
Josh:Yeah, a lot better. A lot better, not as whimsical Rest in peace.
Josh:It's a little more gory and kind of Tar tarantino, kind of crazy like, as far as like like splatter and great and kevin there's. The casting is great. There's not one character that I hated like kevin. Bacon and the woman who plays his mom are tremendous on screen together it's fun. It's short, it's not a. The story's not muddy, it's not like crazy lore, but each episode keeps you going and they trickle in some lore and then the way it's neat is the season ends kind of on a cliffhanger where they almost force like we need a season two. So I recommend definitely checking out. That's what I really liked.
Josh:As far as things I didn't like that I watched. Um shit, I've watched a lot trying to think what I, what I tried to get into and I couldn't. Oh uh. So I'm not a big last of us, the last of us guy. I never finished season one. I tried to pick it back up. I can't. I just can't get into it and I know they had a strong opener for season two Spoiler. That's going to be my thing. I didn't like this week. There's nothing there for me. The video game looks incredible. I've never played it, but I've never heard the first negative thing about the video game.
Zach:Both of them are great.
Josh:Part two is not as good as one. I've seen the clips. I like the kills, all that stuff. I was going to restart it again, so that's probably something I'd say that I didn't enjoy.
Zach:They coincided the season two drop with a remastered part. They already remastered part one of the video game and I did play that again. It's great. They did recently remaster it because it came to PC. Okay.
Josh:Which hadn't been part two. Okay, and then also, I never finished Reacher season three. I got to be honest.
Josh:I like Alan Richardson a lot. I share a lot of his posts. I would love to meet the guy and have coffee with him. But I don't know, man, I had one episode left. I just kind of wasn't as good as season two. It kind of fizzled out a little bit for me and I like Alan Richardson a lot. I really do. I have a lot of respect for the guy. I don't know I need to go back and finish it, just to finish it, but I'm a little like Well, I think there's something like that the premise of that show.
Zach:There's only so many times you can go back to the well, and I know the books are supposed to be solid.
Josh:I've never read them, but I've heard good things too, and I don't know. That's where I'm at right now. I'll let you. I'll let you get to your thing well, what was the what was?
Zach:that was the thing you, what was the thing you liked?
Josh:oh, uh the bondsman the bondsman that's what. That's what comes to mind first. I'm not going to go into all the movies I watched these past couple weeks that we have been on, but that's what's new and I think that would for our base listener. I think that would be a more attractive show for everybody to get involved in. Okay.
Zach:I'd say mine. This that I watched this past week was the thing I didn't like, which I still like, but as a fan of the game, I didn't like the Last of Us Season 2 premiere. Okay, the episode itself.
Zach:I've heard mixed and it's not even really that. They're actually pretty sticking pretty close to the game. Still, there's some departures. Obviously they did the same thing. There were some departures in the first one and you expect that this day and age they do that all the time with adapting from books. So they're adapting from a video game. I would expect it, um, but um, like that whole episode they did with um with bill was totally was not in the game yeah, we just I remember that, yeah, that was in season one that was not in the game at all.
Zach:So they, you know they're taking their liberties, it's fine. Uh, as long as it makes sense within the broader context of the story that was in in the games, then I'm fine with it, even if they so far I haven't made any major departures like huge major departures. That alters the storyline and the plot. I don't know, it's just the way that the characters are interacting with each other. First of all, I'm just going to throw this out here I kind of I said the same thing when they did season one, but, uh, I kinda I said the same thing, um, when they did season one, but Bella Ramsey is miscast.
Josh:Yeah, I have to agree, I'm not a big fan of completely miscast.
Zach:It was fine Whenever she was portraying. You know someone who was, I think, uh, 13, 14, 14 in the at the time, 13 or 14 years old. In part one, okay, in season one, like okay, yeah, she looks like a little, she looks like she's 13, 14. She looks like a kid. Okay, I can roll with it. Now, in part two, it's been a time jump five years, she's 19 years old and she just doesn't it just she can't play an adult. I don't think she just keeps playing this like addis listen, kind of whiny little.
Josh:The news came for that she was, that she was autistic. Now, that's a big thing, I don't know. Whatever thing has come forward as well.
Zach:And now that, of course, uh, spoiler alert, uh, even in the video games as well. Uh, ellie and um Bella Ram. So they're gay. She's a lesbian. Spoiler alert. Yeah, that's, and the opening of the game makes that very clear. Because she has a thing with one of her fellow survivors, dina, who's fucking hot, right, okay, so In the game, in the game, and yeah, but Ellie herself is actually a cute little girl too, so it's not like she's, she doesn't look like Bella Ramsey. That's all I'm saying.
Josh:I got you.
Zach:And so it's something about every time I see her now on screen and they're trying to like like they had this promotional poster for Last of Us Season 2. Yeah, and it's this. It's actually the cover art on Last of Us Season 2, part 2, the Game Right. Is this Ellie's kind of like? It's like shadowed, she's like looking straight at you, she's kind of got her nose down and she's got this grimace and angry face and it's very intense looking whatever. Bella Ramsey just looks dumb-faced. She can't pull that off. Her range of getting angry just does not work at all. So I don't like.
Zach:And also there in the very beginning of the of the part of the game at the end of season one in the show and the game goes off the exact same way where Ellie has that conversation saying you know how it went down? How you're telling me it went down with the fireflies. You know, if you're telling me that, that that they couldn't find a cure, that they said there was no, even though I'm immune, it doesn't matter, they couldn't do anything with it, if you're telling me that's the truth, then I'll believe you, whatever. And Joel lies because at the end of season one and also in the game that he ended up killing everybody because the fireflies were trying to basically harvest her entire organs to try to find a reason why she was immune to the virus, right? Or to the fungus. Well, he couldn't let that happen, so he shot up the whole fucking hospital and killed everybody and got her out of there and then lied to her about it, right, so that when you go into opening a scene of season two, basically the implication is that Ellie knows that Joel was lying Underneath, she knows that that just couldn't be true and so basically what Joel has done is taken her purpose from her. She had this noble purpose that she was going to fulfill and Joel is now taking that away. I don't think she, even in the game, necessarily understands the implications. That noble purpose meant that she was going to die, that we're going to kill her, but she knows that Joel's been lying to her. So there's like an immediate conflict and they kind of chalk it up to where she's just being a teenager. But really that's what's underlying going on.
Zach:And also spoiler alert if you haven't played the games. But um, I'll, I'll hold that. I'll. Actually I'll hold this spoiler. I'll hold this one for for for a few more episodes. I'll see if they do it. They made this may be the major departure that they may do, but we'll find out. But, um, I'll hold off on this one. But she just comes across like there's, there's an emotional depth there whenever you're playing the game and you feel it and you're like, okay, I can understand this. And and the, the, the voice actress that plays ellie in the games does it really well, it's actually ashley johnson. Yeah, she was played her mom in season one when they did that flashback, it was that actress she actually does the voice of ellie in the games is ashley johnson.
Zach:Great job. I don't know why they didn't just fucking cast her, but okay, she would have sounded just like her. She would have been great. She may not have been able to play a 14-year-old because she's definitely older now, but they may have been able to do it. We'll make it work.
Zach:Definitely cuter than Bella Ramsey when her doing it, bella Ram ramsey, because her emotional range is just not there, it just comes across. She's just it's not convincing, whiny, fucking little child, and it's just kind of like petulant. And of course they also open the entire season with her beating the shit out of a full-grown man and it's just like no, that's so. They're already doing the whole girl boss, girl power fucking thing right off the bat and it makes no fucking sense. And they even kind of allude. They kind of they kind of got away with it a little bit.
Zach:They kind of backed off a little bit whenever, uh, the male character like punches her in the nose, uh, and then she, you know, fights back and she gets him into like an arm bar and she makes him tap out and she's about to break his arm and it just looks ridiculous. At one point, uh, she all he had to do was just like lift up and like slam her down and would have knocked her out, but he didn't. But you know, so like this, you know, 100-pound, soaking wet little girl is not going to take down this dude. It's just absurd, but anyway. So they do that. But then they kind of walk it back a little bit by implying that he held back on his punch, otherwise he would have knocked her out.
Josh:I was like, yeah, we should have saw that this isn't Three Ninjas. Yes, obviously Everyone knows that, so thank you. He got his ass kicked by, so when?
Zach:I first saw that I was like, oh, here we go. And then they said, yeah, he was pulling his punches, otherwise you would have been knocked out. Cole was like yeah, thank you, thank you, because that's, that's reality. Thank you, yeah, but whatever. And then not working. She's got a slit in her eyebrow. Yeah, it's tough, sure, yeah, exactly she's tough now, which apparently sometimes that's actually can be an indicator that she's in a gang, apparently that's vanilla ice.
Josh:I think sorry that.
Zach:Yeah, it's a gang thing but anyway, um, some gangs do that, um, so I I would say it's, it's not working for me right now. They also, uh, there's a new character, uh dynamic, that that is brought in um to the, to the show, that's in the game and it's Abby and basically, uh, spoiler which is not a really spoiler is uh, when Joel killed everybody in the, uh in the hospital, the fireflies, there's repercussions of that. Those people had friends and family, right, that are now hunting Joel because they want revenge and abby is one of those people because joel killed her father. Oh, okay, uh in the, I think he was one of the doctors, right, so, um, so now she's on a revenge tour.
Zach:Time jump. Five years later they this is how the season one opener, uh, closed, was that uh, they come across the community that that joel's in. So the fact five years of looking for him, it looks like they're eventually going to find him, and so we'll see how that plays out in the coming episodes. You look at the preview coming soon. This season or whatever. They show little snippets and stuff. It looks like it's got a lot more action, they've got a bigger budget. It looks like it's going to be good.
Zach:I just don't know how some, some of the good things, that about the, the last of us, what makes the game so much different and what makes it so good and that naughty dog did very well is. It's like you are like playing a tv show or like a movie like the. The animation is really good. The facial expressions, the voice acting, the, the plot, everything works really really well. In part one, part two, it starts to fall apart a little bit. It's not as good and I'm hoping that the show can rectify some of that without departing too far from it. But I was going to tell you right now, people, just if they stick to the games. If you haven't played the games then you're not going to know what I'm to the games. If you haven't played the games then you're not gonna know what I'm talking about. If you have played the games, you know what I'm talking about. It's about to get.
Zach:Some people are going to get upset, I think, at what may happen in the next episode, next to maybe two or three episodes, okay, and so that'd be a little teaser for folks if you have not played the game. If you play the games you know I'm talking about and it is. I remember whenever I, when I first started playing it, when it came out, uh, I was kind of like, really, this is how we're gonna go with this. It was just you. Well, here's maybe not a spoiler for the game, because it doesn't really matter for a movie, but you think that whenever you're going and playing part two, you're going to be playing you half the game.
Zach:You play as somebody else. You play like the villain and it's kind of weird, but it's also this like it's abby and it's this butch chick and you like go through her backstory and she's got like huge arms, like she's like a muscle mommy and she just looks dykey and it's just like a bad character and nobody. It's just weird. And so we'll see how they're going with that. Um, neil druckman is. He's a gay, gay man and obviously kind of a lefty, and so I think he's he couldn't get away with some of this stuff and doing in the video game that he wanted to do.
Zach:That's the reason why that season one episode where he showed the whole life of those two gay dudes in the apocalypse- living together like he's fulfilling, like all his things that he fantasies and things that he wanted to put into the game, that he couldn't, he's now doing into the show. I feel like okay, and so I'm just warning I think, uh, it's going to get gayer, is what I'm going to say. Well metaphorically gayer and literally gayer.
Zach:Okay, but so that was something I didn't like Okay, all I didn't like it, okay, all right, another one, a little sidebar I didn't like. This was actually something I think I liked. Last episode was the studio. Okay With Seth Rogen yeah.
Zach:It's about the. I liked it at first. It is now just a. It's boring. Okay, the last episode I watched. It didn't really kind of. If Seth Rogen's not, I think, a key component to the episode, it doesn't work. He has to be kind of like the key component, cause the whole premise of it is that he's kind of this junior, first time a studio head of a studio, and there's, you know, he's just trying to keep it all together, right, and he's also towing the line between making them, making a movie and making money and also making film and making art, right, and so he's trying to like find this middle ground. And that's the conflict, that's the tension, that's where the humor comes from. And when he's not, it's when the focus isn't that. It just doesn't work for me, and that's. This past episode was just kind of like yeah, so what did you like? Well, so what?
Josh:I did like let's say, we've shown a lot.
Zach:Well, again, I don't really watch stuff that I don't think I'm going to like I usually don't watch stuff that I do like.
Josh:I remember you saying that.
Zach:So when I say something that I didn't like, it's usually I'm getting nitpicky. Usually I still like the Last of Us, but I didn't like the way that it opened. Okay. So that's definitely my critique. Soft open yeah, if there's something that's just straight up fucking trash.
Josh:I'm turning it off oh yes, I'll push through, just so I can talk shit about it.
Zach:Uh, what I did like. Uh, apple TV generally has good stuff, right.
Josh:I just a lot of times you can't go.
Zach:I will say the only thing that I did not like. Everybody universally fucking loves this show and I thought it was just kind of yeah, which one? Ted Lasso?
Josh:I think is kind of. I I think that one blonde lady is beautiful to look at.
Zach:Yeah, she's nice to look at.
Josh:I never watched it. I couldn't get into it.
Zach:It's just.
Josh:It's not good.
Zach:It's like sickening, just how Like. The only, actually the only, character that I liked in there I can't even think of his name, roy, where he was just he was the curmudgeon that just hated. Everybody Loved that character. I, ted Lasso, was just kind of boring and just goofy and silly and just also super woke. It's not like in your face woke, but it's like I don't know. Okay, I Googled the whole episode about Ted Lasso and how much Apparently it's coming back. They did like four seasons.
Josh:I like looking at that blonde lady. Apparently it's coming back. She has a great body. She's a tall lady, yeah. She's very attractive.
Zach:That's big, she's a tall lady. She's yeah, yeah, like it's very attractive. Um, that's about it. She was the, she was the nun in um in game of thrones. The shame that they ended up putting the table in the. The mountain had her way with.
Josh:She was also the lesbian mom in uh sex education.
Zach:Yeah, yeah, that's it, yeah, exactly um, I missed, so the thing that I did like on Apple TV was your Friends and Neighbors. So a new show that came out. It's got Jon Hamm. It has Olivia Munn, who's sexy as fuck still, and Amanda Peet, who was in Saving Silverman. She was the crazy lady it was awesome.
Josh:So I need to check that out.
Zach:It's interesting. I think it's not really a comedy, it's a dramedy. I guess you could say it is definitely more on the drama side. I think it's either a book series or maybe it was based on a true story. I'm not really sure. I have to go back and look.
Zach:I may be mixing that up, but basically it's this hedge fund manager, this super rich dude living in an affluent neighborhood. He ends up losing his job and he basically, you know, he's divorced, he's got all these bills to pay and he can't find another job, I guess because he I don't know, he's been blackballed or whatever in the area and he can't find another job. So he basically resorts to crime, but he basically robs all his friends and neighbors. Fuck, he can't find another job, so he basically resorts to crime, but he basically robs all his friends and neighbors and he like steals watches and like very high dollar shit that they just have laying around that they probably won't miss, and he ends up breaking into their houses. Because they live in these affluent neighborhoods, they don't have like security and nobody really, you know, think the way he describes it is like they've gotten so used to living in these affluent neighborhoods and this security.
Zach:That's a false sense of security. Half the time they leave the door unlocked and he just walks in, steals their shit, steals enough to where they would just think they misplaced it or wouldn't even know that it was missing. And then he hawks it and that's how he ends up getting money. You can tell it's like a Breaking Bad type thing, to where he's starting to enjoy it. Okay, and so I kind of I'm into that, I like, I like, I like shows and I think people, this is what the draw is is that the, the fall from grace, the, the descent into either madness or depravity, or criminals are hot.
Zach:I think that's interesting and so you know how someone with all this money can can go to a life of crime, because just because one thing changes, yeah, it's interesting. Okay, um, mostly obviously I full disclosure. I was like I want to check it out because like, oh, it's got living money and I could just like, look at her, she's really attractive, because she's very attractive, she's cool, she's married to a silly bitch.
Josh:Yeah, he's, he is a silly bitch, he is. I never understood that and she went through breast cancer and this whole thing. She's had a whole like fucking thing. I watched a lot of interviews with her. Yeah, she's a fighter.
Zach:I'm a big fan of Olivia Munn back in her Attack of the Show days. She's a cool lady Like one of my favorites, right, she's people that. That's the reason I like henry cavill. I appreciate people that that that are nerd, actual nerds at heart and they want to do it, do it right. Whenever they did. Uh, she was in. She played psylocke in uh x-men apocalypse. You know they all had the four horsemen, all had their like suits that that look like they all kind of like had the same kind of theme and style to them. Or whatever archangel and even uh magneto, they all had this kind of look, have the same kind of theme and style to them, or whatever Archangel and even a Magneto, they all had this kind of look. She was like adamant and pressed and pushed to have the more traditional Psylocke look. That's yeah.
Josh:Yeah, she's cool. Yeah, so she, I think she's probably. She's probably one of those. I'm a fan of hers, not just because she's hot Like a lot of celebrities.
Zach:I like yeah, but she's cool.
Josh:She's the one that I think I would like want to have a cup of coffee with and just like pick her brain and shoot the shit with and riff with.
Zach:Exactly right, that's a good call Because she was a correspondent on the Daily Show where she did comedy bits.
Josh:So she has a funny, she's cool shit, so definitely a big MonoVemon fan.
Zach:Yes, so that's obviously the reason why I was like I got to check this out. And. I'm into it. I also do like Jon Hamm. Jon Hamm's interesting. I watch Mad Men. I don't know if you've ever seen that show. I've dabbled a tad.
Josh:I've never. I've never like I didn't lost it, I didn't in. And same same thing with suits.
Zach:I've never locked in and been like yeah, we're headed through suits is one of those ones where it's like you, just it was like I don't know those kind of shows like that to where they're just kind of like on the. I just kind of went through them and they were they're like junk food to where they were good enough, but they didn't like draw me in to where like they didn't satisfy me and mad men, though I felt like I had to just power through it, because at some point the whole I get that it's, it's this critically acclaimed thing and it made a lot, had a lot of commentary about, like you know, um, uh, society at the time in the sixties and work between women and women and all this kind of bullshit, banging your secretary, blah, blah, and all this kind of crap. Um, you and all this kind of crap, the way the 60s were back then, and it has some reflection to today's world. Whatever, blah, blah, blah, blah. Jerk off. Jerk off, but I do like Jon Hamm.
Zach:Yeah, it was kind of boring Pretty much if he wasn't on. He was the only draw to me If he wasn't on screen the show kind of sucked.
Josh:Yeah, I think I became a Jon Hamm, I think Bridesmaids. I'd seen him a thing before, but to me he really shined comedically on that one because he played that asshole goofball. If you remember, in Bridesmaids Jon Hamm was that guy. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah he played yes and then he just yes. Then he was in Baby Driver.
Zach:He was like a more serious role. He can do serious stuff. I think he does really well. And then where Tag Remember the movie Tag.
Josh:Yes, but he was also really good in the Ben Affleck movie, the bank rob movie. Fuck, what's the name of that movie? You know what I'm talking about. It's a great movie. Ben Affleck and what Ben Affleck, Jeremy Renner's in it. They're in Boston, they're bank robbers. You know what I'm talking about, Remember. He goes. He says I can't, you can't ask where we're going, you can't ask who we're going to hurt. We're going to hurt some people. I need your help.
Zach:Oh, the town, the town, jon Hamm's in that. Oh, ben Affleck, I'm sorry.
Josh:When you were saying Ben Affleck, I'm saying Okay, so yeah, Jon Hamm is a good.
Zach:He was in Top Gun Maverick. He can play like he plays a great asshole. Great asshole yeah okay, and when he plays a, he can do comedy too really well. His delivery is good. Yes, he was also with Friends, with Kids serious than that more serious, but I think that's. That's the part of it what he does? The comedy, well, he plays the serious part, yeah, well, uh, in in comedies shout out john ham john ham. Thanks, man. Apparently he has a huge dick too, does he really?
Zach:yeah he's got the ham how'd you know, that I mean you know this word on the screen I didn't know that well, shout out john ham, nice cock so does.
Josh:Uh, billy bob thornton apparently has a huge wiener there's rumors that he actually had sex with uh hallie berry on that set of swordfish not sorfit. Uh, monster's ball, monster ball, excuse me, there's there's rumors they actually had sex on like I don't know how true it is. I wasn't there. I've seen that scene, maybe so um I probably, maybe I don't know. Yeah, billy bob thornton is a wild man back in the day, yeah apparently he has a huge wiener.
Zach:Okay, cool.
Josh:Nice man.
Zach:Yep.
Josh:Shout out Jon Hamm.
Zach:Big dick, big wiener. Fact for you. Big dick energy Hollywood wiener fact for you. But anyway, so that was the thing that I did, like I'm enjoying it, they just did. I think it was episode three that I just ended up watching and it and it's sticking for me for right now the studio is falling off and that one's rising for me.
Josh:Apple TV has some of the best shows I've ever seen. If you do not subscribe to Apple TV, next time you get, if they offer you a three-month subscription free through Apple, through your iPhone, whatever, take it, cancel it at the end of it, for. But I'm telling you right now sci-fi, drama, yes, I mean, they have some of the best shows.
Zach:Consistently good usually.
Josh:Yeah, shrinking's good yes.
Zach:Every streaming service has its kind of like crap. They do, they do.
Josh:But Silo Invasion.
Zach:Shrinking Foundation.
Josh:There's something else in there too. It was only Constellation. It was what two seasons. Yeah. Great. I wish they wouldn't have canceled it. That's an incredible show. There's also pretty good movies on there, I mean it's the same. Everybody cycles their movies and shit. But that new Murderbot show coming out.
Zach:Yeah, that looks interesting.
Josh:That's based off a little. I looked it up it's a book series about it.
Zach:I was kind of disappointed that there's like a humanoid looking thing underneath and I was like what the fuck? I was kind of hoping he would stay in the robot.
Josh:I did too, but then I'm like I'm okay with it, I don't need to see Star's Guard.
Zach:It was kind of weird.
Josh:I'm okay with that thing. We'll see.
Zach:That was kind of like when Pedro Pascal took the Mandalorian helmet off. It's like I don't need to see your face. Credibility no 100. Um, they, yeah. Someone please have the fucking sack to make a movie to where they. You never see the actress face, yeah speaking of.
Josh:I've been on a big star wars kick lately. Old star wars not this new shit, but I went back and watched a lot of documentaries stoked about andor season two coming out.
Zach:Can't wait.
Josh:It looks good I've been, I've been catching up on. I went back and watched the original three. Uh, then I went back and did some more diving into documentaries on the making of Star Wars and like I really wish that I could have I mean, I wasn't alive when they, when they read, but I couldn't I really wish that one day soon, or in our lifetime at least, that someone would make a sci-fi, a space opera, something that prolific again, like something cultural, shocking, so I could experience it like people did when star wars yeah, like a defining moment I mean I'm talking about like the end of the 70s, like when it hit dude, like at the chinese theater they did the big grand opening and to watch people's like, literally movie, life change forever.
Josh:Like nothing had that nothing was the same after that.
Zach:Well, we had, we had in game, in game it was, that was 10-year period that led to one of the greatest things I ever saw with my eyes.
Josh:I think I'm just being One of the greatest theater experiences I've ever had.
Josh:I still looking back at all the movies you and I have seen over the years. I'm talking about double features, big films. I'm talking about even when we saw Pacific Rim and IMAX 3D and blew our mind. Nothing will ever capture the in-game movie, no, and the experience that all of us as an audience together, everybody. It was almost like a religious. You're all together in the same thing. And when it all happened and everybody cheered together, you like Goosebumps, you fought, everybody like fought together, you cried together. It was just I don't know.
Zach:I just don't feel like we'll ever recreate whenever it comes out of the, it still happens. Actually, it's happening to me, right now, just thinking about it, I get chills whenever the portals are opening up and everybody's walking out and he's like avengers assemble and then thor goes. Ah, he screams and everybody starts I, and then I see ant-man punch.
Josh:Yeah, like the chita, like I, I still get chills when I watch it, it's leviathan, it's yeah, dude I I don't think we'll ever get it again, and but what I was saying is that going back and watching like how difficult it was to make these films and I didn't realize that george lucas was a big he's like, fuck the man.
Josh:Like he does not like studios. He like. He went to the bank for a loan to do the empire strikes back. He didn't direct that. He didn't direct the Empire Strikes Back and he did not direct Return of the Jedi. But he went for like $33-$40 million from the bank because of the success of A New Hope to do it himself, with no help from the studio. He wanted it to be his project, his director.
Zach:That's the reason why those two movies specifically well, Empire Strikes Back specifically is so good. Yeah, Well, not only that, and people were nervous. Studio input.
Josh:And people were nervous too, just because sequels don't usually do very well.
Zach:Yeah.
Josh:At that point. They just usually don't.
Zach:Yeah.
Josh:But do? The Empire Strikes Back, in my opinion is probably one of the greatest sequels of all time, and when that one hit dude, it did better than A New Hope.
Zach:It was just wild. We'll make that note. We should do a. Best Sequels Top five sequels.
Josh:I have Best Trilogy, but I'll do.
Zach:Best Sequels, or Best Trilogy too, as well.
Josh:I was on a tear with John Williams doing the music. There's a documentary on Disney+ I recommend you guys watch. It's about John Williams. You don't realize how many films you grew up with and he has scored oh yeah, on a simple piano. And also his son. I didn't know this. His son is the lead singer of toto from the 80s. Oh yeah, I didn't know that.
Josh:So if the music runs deep, but like hearing him do like ever, spielberg, of course, has used him in all kinds. He's done harry potter, he's done john, he's done everything you think of. John williams has dabbled in, of course, hans zimmer. And then there's, um, oh, what's his name? Not brandon shore? He does all lord of the rings stuff. I forget his name. I have him on pandora, but like that there's that particular documentary. Is is rock solid if you want to watch one, and there's another one about industrial lights and magic.
Josh:But like, talk about an innovator like I. I've you know, because I've also read and seen things where they talk about what's his name. I just totally drew his name Star Wars creator. I just totally George Lucas. George Lucas, excuse me. Yeah, thank you, he's kind of an asshole. Yeah, I've seen interviews where he just kind of seems like just a dick, but rightfully so, because he had to catch a lot of flack during those movies too. He dropped out of the film actors guild, all this. There's a dropped out of all this stuff, um. But I really kind of wish he would come back. I wish he wouldn't have sold star wars. I really wish he wouldn't have.
Zach:Yeah, yeah, I mean, I think I think he did kind of uh, the the episode one, two and three he directed those he directed those and I think that kind of it's. It's almost like um, it's like Zack Schneider. Zack Schneider is better at being a producer executive producer than he is being a director or or I wouldn't say director, but as a creator of new I uh a new IP, he's not like.
Josh:Yeah, rebel moon sucks ass right A concept, but if he is adapting.
Zach:But he, but his director's cut of Justice League is fantastic, yeah, well, sucker Punch is fantastic. Sucker Punch, yeah, but I mean it's. I can see why people don't like it, right. I can see why it's not critically acclaimed or whatever you know, or critics shit on it. So I can like see that, but he says what I'm saying, but he's dealing with source material that he didn't create on his own.
Josh:Rebel Moon was all right out of his own brain. I'm sorry I misheard you. You're talking about original concept ideas? Yes, but if he?
Zach:takes George Lucas, I think he's better he would have been. I think the thing with George Lucas, he has such a mind for this. It's like Tolkien, it's like CS Lewis. They have this, this imagination, to where they can build this entire universe, and it's very intricate and detailed in their own brains and they just need to get it out onto paper. They're incredible storytellers great storytellers, but not that good of a of movie makers.
Josh:Yeah, that makes sense, that's what someone said about because he didn't direct, empire or or return, and that's what a lot of all the people had said about George Lewis, is that he is an incredible story, because even his first film he did was THX. Thx, something is a number. It was a sci-fi kind of a weird black and white style movie. It was a short film from the 70s he did that.
Josh:they all were like we've never, seen anything like this before in our life, and that's where THX got the name from for this thing.
Zach:But yeah, like you said, they've all said the same thing that he is an incredible storyteller, yeah, but like you said when he went back, into the prequels, which we appreciate those now more than ever because of the shit show that we got, but yeah, they're not incredible movies.
Josh:There's a lot of mistakes made in it dialogues but I think he's better as a as a world builder story he's maybe a producer like be there, because he was there for the other ones, yes but something to lean on. I would really have appreciated him in these newer ones yeah, and see, you could tell.
Zach:I think that's what the the key there with these new ones. These new ones didn't have any soul. The soul of star wars was sucked out of them because the soul was george lucas. It's true, right, and so maybe, yeah, episode, yeah, episode one, two and three, and people, even people, kind of forget about this. But if you look back and watch Return of the Jedi, the whole Ewok battle in Endor with the Ewoks and everything is goofy and silly and kind of dumb. It doesn't make any sense. It's kind of dumb, right, if you really think about it, like it's kind of goofy stuff in those movies, jar Jar Binks.
Josh:Right, fucking goofy. I think he now knows that that was kind of Right.
Zach:And he even kind of admitted he said in his interviews like or it's supposed to be some kind of. It was also he's making this for kids. Yeah, and it was trying to sell toys, right.
Josh:He was trying to market that because he had all the rights he's trying to get his fucking money back because when the movies came through on the a new hope. He won all the rights to all that and he has made a yes.
Zach:I mean but yeah, to draw back to your original point, is that nothing's come out since then. That is new ip, that is world building, that has created one of the greatest american ips of all time. Yeah, even the marvel cinematic universe, phase, whatever, up to end game, that 10-year period you can't. They're not. It's not really a comparison because it's actually drawing on already established source material, correct? I'm talking about original, original art like that where someone has created a made a movie or a series of movies, a trilogy that is all original, that has that has created a made-in-movie or a series of movies, a trilogy that is all original, that has created a cult following. An entire industry is created around this movie.
Josh:Okay, but I said we're talking about original because, okay, you know what I'm saying Not having a book source material.
Zach:Yeah, yeah, and Star Wars is the only thing that comes to mind. I thought the.
Josh:Matrix was going to pull it. No, the first one, one first one could have. The first one had me. I was like okay, we, but they just kind of, but they're not making parks?
Zach:they're not making.
Josh:No, they're not, of course not. No, no, no, there's nothing. Nothing has been yes, star wars.
Zach:They make games, they make books, they make tv shows, they make there's parks, there's fucking toys, there's.
Josh:Everything is merchandised now, with that being said, I know that, but yeah well, what's, what's gonna be the next thing? We'll stick to. It has to be original, because I was gonna say I know that there's. I know people are like well, there's harry potter, well, that's still based off of books that someone created. Yes, and it's done really well too so I'll take a step back.
Zach:But it was done by like the same. It's basically the same, it's, it's, it's not like lord of the rings. That was written you, you know, in the fucking forties, and then they made the, they adapted it. You know, 80 years later, okay, that's different. Uh, I'd say Harry Potter is a good, good comparison to Star Wars, because the books and the movies were made right on top of each other Was waitressing and made those like, yeah, she wrote them, and she was heavily involved in the filmmaking process.
Zach:So actually that's actually a good comparison, even though the movies themselves are not original. They were adapted from books. But because the books came out and they literally have, they made the movies right after the books came out actually, I think the first but then the first movie come out before the last book was even written uh, yes yeah, so I mean that's all one universe that's me oh, I feel like that's a good, that's a good analogy.
Zach:They got parks and everything's been marked. I mean, harry potter is a huge universe, a huge franchise, and ip, that american ip, that, um, that you could say, uh, is comparable to star wars. I think star wars is obviously bigger. It's something definitely more global. I agree it's been around longer, so it's got more to it, more meat on the bones. But Harry Potter, yeah, I think you can put it in the same category. Jk Rowling has created a universe she's a storyteller that went from books to movies really quickly and it spurred on the tentacles everywhere. And now it's we're going to be experiencing Harry Potter for decades.
Josh:Yeah, and I was saying new Harry Potter stuff is going to continue to come out and I and I um these last few weeks, as we haven't recorded, I've been watching a lot of um. I was on a George Lewis guy went back and watched um. I was on a George Lewis. I went back and watched Indiana Jones. I watched some of those. I was trying to. I was going back and looking for like profound movies of their time and I was going through lists of the top hundred greatest movies of all time and you and I have probably seen over half of it.
Josh:The thing I have a hard time doing is I'm trying to go back and watch old films that they say are like that. At the time they were the cream of the crop and, like some of the like, gone with the Wind. Casablanca, the.
Zach:Seven Samaritans. We've talked about this and you know my stance on it.
Josh:I know your stance on it, but I'm going to, I think, try to watch them because I can. You know we're usually over analytical on movies and stuff, but I want to try to figure out what makes them why. I mean, obviously, at the time, at their time, they were huge.
Josh:I know that yeah but you know, you go back and watch wizard of oz. I can watch that and can take it for what it is. I mean, it's one of the great. It's on the top everybody's top 100 list, one of the greatest films ever made, for its time, yeah, um. But like I've never sat and watched gone with the wind, I've never watched casablan.
Zach:I think there's a reason why I can't watch these movies as soon as a character comes on there and is like Harold's looking at you, kid. Nobody fucking talks like that.
Josh:I can't get into it. It doesn't bother me. That doesn't bother me as bad.
Zach:Yeah, spare a nickel something. No, who the fuck? I can't do it.
Josh:I went back and watched. Uh, I had, uh, I put on Mary Poppins the house or chitty bang bang. I watched, had Harper watching them, but you know, like I was watching some of those and it's uh, and then I'm cause. Those aren't as bad to watch, they're a little more. But they're, but they but the it's crazy to kind of you're like fuck please stop singing.
Zach:But it's wild to go back and look. It was one musical that I really, really actually enjoyed greatest showman on earth, no, no, what a rock of ages, because it was all journey songs. I like grace for musicals. I might definitely rock of ages okay, I've never watched it because it's journey, because I love journey. It's all journey songs.
Josh:It's a good one uh, but yeah, I've been trying to go back. I've watched a lot of 80s, but I'm going to stick to it and I think I'm going to take the 100 greatest films of all time. I'm going to watch all of them. There's a lot of films that I've never seen. There's some that I've seen, but I want to go back and actually watch some of these, like they say, like Gone with the Wind, Like my mom loves that movie too. But in opening, like you said, it's just so much different than the day and age that I live in and the movies that I'm used to watching. It's like this is fucking lame.
Zach:Yes, but I have to.
Josh:I'm going to have to just shut up and just watch it. And I'll let you know, let me know.
Zach:I know you won't watch them, because I've seen clips of things and I've watched some of these movies in the past, but to me, whenever I'm watching them, it feels like I'm doing a history assignment. Well, you kind of are, and I'm being forced to watch this Whenever we watch the Odyssey with Armand Desanti.
Josh:Hold on the TV movie. Yes, the TV movie. Did you have Miss Myers in high school? Oh yeah, 100%. Did I tell you what she said when she put that on? So we're going to watch, right, and everybody's like man, I want to watch that, which actually it's not a terrible movie. You can still watch it online. Yeah, she was like what's that? Guy's name, you just said Armand Asante. She said that she's like well, he's playing Odysseus and he is, and we're all like. She was like honey not still burn.
Zach:I was like yeah, she said that.
Josh:Well, we turned the movie on. I'm like I get it. It's pretty good looking guy, yeah, yeah. But uh, which Christopher Nolan is redoing the Odyssey?
Zach:Yeah. Yeah. And I watched it. I watched it. People are saying that it might be one of the greatest films he's ever done. Maybe they always said, since he was, you know the Batman films, you know inception, interstellar, the one movie I hadn't seen, it his that I wanted to go back and watch was memento and I went back and watch it.
Josh:It's weird ass, Crazy, weird movie.
Zach:But I was like okay, this is if I, if if I didn't know, you know?
Josh:this is classic Nolan movie.
Zach:yeah, he's good in that yeah, um, crazy movie, um, but um, but yeah, um, I just the the old movie thing. Like I said, people don't talk about that anymore.
Josh:Can you go?
Zach:so what's your cutoff whenever they start doing? You know, you know, here here's one of you game, yeah but you can do 80s that I'm at yeah, okay, I'm talking about the vein that you're talking about 30s and 40s. That, yeah, the golden age. That's what they call it, man. Anytime we talk about golden age like that kind of you know no one who gives, no one knows who the fuck you know Cary Grant is. If it has Cary Grant in it, I'm not fucking watching it. That's all I'm saying. It I did.
Josh:I did go back and watch. I watched mighty ducks one and two the other day, uh, which, if you haven't watched those in a long, they're not nineties.
Josh:I don't know where I was going in thirties and forties, but I was jumping in the nineties and jumping in these old films. Cause here lately, like especially when you have kids, like you go back, you reminisce on your own and some like Hannah Montana and like High School Musical and some of the other stuff. But like the other day I put on Little Monsters with Fred Savage and his brother and then, like Howie Mandel, plays Maurice or what I think his name is, maurice. You know, have you seen that movie? You know what I'm talking about vaguely.
Josh:I think so that's where, like they come from under the bed and Howie Mandel plays the guy with the leather jacket and he comes up from under the bed and how, I'm in a place, the guy with the leather jacket, uh, and he comes up from one of the beds a monster. And then, uh, boy is the evil, the bad guy at the end, and they capture his brother and the lights the fuck.
Zach:I know, I know you've seen this. I know I've seen it because it was something for some like I can't. What you're describing as like flashes in my brain and I can picture it, but I can't. Couldn't tell you one thing that happened in that movie.
Josh:So we put it on and Harper's always like I don't want to watch that. It's from 1989. What does it say? Little Monsters? It's on anybody that was interested. You can watch it with your kids. It's on Plex and Pluto, for free, 89. Yeah, so that's Little Monsters.
Zach:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Josh:So anyways, well, I had it on and she was like I don't want to. Well, then all of a sudden I look over and she's like into it and I'm like, yeah, not all the shit that mom and dad watch is bad, it's fun. But they say and do things that would never happen. Like everyone is so, like they say shit that you could just never. They say retard and all kinds of stuff you can't say no more.
Josh:I've watched Angels in the Outfield. I've been going back and pulling a kid in King Arthur's Court. They're campy and corny as fuck but they're so fun.
Josh:Yeah, yeah. And then I went back and I was on a baseball kick. Have you watched Field of Dreams lately? Yeah, that may be one of Costner's best movies ever. That's good, and hats off to the lady who plays his wife. She may be depicted in film as one of the greatest wives of all time to let him do all that shit. Yeah, that's one with no with, and she's, I mean, supporting him a fucking midlife crisis, higher way.
Josh:And then when she had the same, she was like that's a dream you had. He was like, yeah, she's like. I had that same dream. I'm going to get my jacket. Like no, no questions asked, we're keeping this fucking baseball field. We drain all of our savings. I love you, I don't care. I'm like god, what the fuck? You know? Most films there's like a you know they're arguing.
Zach:There's like a conflict like if you watch a close encounter.
Josh:The third kind of his wife fucking rolled out. Yeah, she didn't even try to support his ass. Yeah, she took the kids and then he fucked off on a ship and left. Yeah, like which, by the way, evan, if you ever seen a movie, I'd say what you want. I would not have gotten on board too many questions like them, little dudes come out and they picked him.
Josh:Like there's little ones, there's one big one and they do hand symbols. And don't get me wrong, I like the movie, I like the music score, but I don't know what goes on in there. Like those pilots. He didn't even ask. Yeah, like what'd they do to you? The pilots come out. Yeah, no, in the same clothes.
Zach:There's no way Come on man For multiple reasons. First of all, you go onto that ship like you don't know what the living conditions are going to be, like you don't know what the fucking food is going to start putting shit in your ass.
Josh:I always have a fear. No way Stuff in me. No way. No one wears clothes. It's like do I have to be naked Right now? Yes, but would you know you're naked.
Zach:That's also true. Why? Why are all the aliens naked in those old 80s alien movies?
Josh:Well, I mean, most aliens are naked.
Zach:I mean all the grays, I mean I guess I'm going to get butt naked and go 160 down the interstate and if everybody just has a cloaca and no dick or vagina, then there's no competition.
Josh:It doesn't matter if we're naked now. I guess there's nothing to show off, I suppose.
Zach:So that's what I need to do. Is I need to get butt naked, tuck my wiener and go 160 down the interstate? Yeah, you could, and I'd feel like an alien, yeah Well be careful when you sit down. Yeah, right, right, be careful.
Josh:Right, I don't want you to harm yourself, especially with semen retention.
Zach:Right, you don't want to If you have. Yeah, it's all swollen. Try to harm his balls. Yeah, I actually can just sit on them Like a beanbag chair.
Josh:Yeah, I don't know how I got on the Close Encounters thing. Oh, have I mean? I can recall that Jodie Foster I've seen it so many times that's a good one. I go back and watch sets. I went back and watched the Men in Black movies.
Zach:I will say here's an observation from some of our listeners about this particular topic. It's been commented on that whenever you like watching these old movies and you're describing them to me, people can tell that I don't give a fuck. Yeah, that's fine, and that's okay. I'm still gonna tell you like I don't care what you think, I'm still gonna tell you? Oh yeah, I'm not watching that, yeah like I'm not.
Josh:Yeah, I know you're not, and I think it's hilarious like I'll go to a full. Like beautiful breakdown and you're like I'm not watching that bullshit and I know you're not and that's okay, I'm still
Zach:gonna fucking tell you and you're gonna like it, that's fine, because someone on here might watch it someone might. Yes, that's true. Yeah, different strokes man we do.
Josh:We see out a lot of films and movies, but there's certain movies like you go into it.
Zach:You go there's a, there's a realm that you go into, that you don't expect that I don't go into like if I want the door, I'd be like, come on, you're like I'm gonna wait out here.
Josh:I'm gonna be in the lobby. Yeah, exactly, let me know when you're out, let me know. Yeah, exactly, I'm gonna play on my phone.
Zach:You'll be out in a minute or two. Yeah, that's, that's me. Whoa, I don't know where, where's where would be in the movie world or tv world, entertainment world? What would be a realm that I go into, that you don't necessarily delve into? Oh easy uh anything political yeah, okay, I I do like like political thrillers and stuff um, I won't go.
Josh:Well, that's, it's not entirely.
Zach:I'm talking about movies, entertainment, not necessarily aspects of anything I'm saying probably not, I don't know.
Josh:I'd go with you. Probably, I don't know, I don't know of a movies that you dabble that I don't really do the rom-com that much like I do a lot of rom-coms or a lot of period pieces um nicholas sparks type there's not a lot of romances, um's just straight up romances.
Zach:Um, I'll do some period pieces. I do like, I do like history, so but I you know I'm not doing again, I'm not doing, I'm not watching stuff that was made in the forties, but I'll watch something made about the forties.
Josh:Maybe there's other than that dude. There's not a lot of gangsters. I think I feel like you wouldn't go with me in certain rooms you've seen the town, you've seen departed.
Zach:I've seen this, so you know you enjoy those movies.
Josh:I don't think there's these type stuff. I don't think there's a realm. I think I would go with you everywhere. I think there's something you wouldn't come with me, Maybe bit um no, I I'm.
Zach:I'm invested in trying to find this answer.
Josh:I'm gonna see if I can find her a a tv slash movie realm, for for a bit there it was anime, but now you're into it, I'm into anime yeah, you can't, you know, I think my probably my level of anime viewership is deeper than yours currently probably right now, but I think I'm close, but I'm, but you're not, but I think you would go into some places because, like you said, you saw ghost stories, which is kind of weird and wacky, yeah, so like I dabble in a broader spectrum maybe I dabble in like if uh, is it ghibli or ghibli?
Zach:no, I mean I. I would say I've seen it all, but I'm saying like I've seen more than you have. But I think you would go into this. You would go into the same lanes that I have gone into yeah, yeah, and there's some that I've seen that you haven't there's a lot you've seen that I haven't right, so but like I'm not going to the watching the casablanca lane, I mean I'm going to watch that'll be me in the 40s yeah, yeah, like I don't want to go in that lane and then also like campy horror movies made in the 80s.
Josh:I don't go into that lane. I do that a lot. Have you seen apothecary diaries?
Zach:No, but it's on my list Okay. It's pretty good. It's good one. Okay, it's not bad, there's no high action.
Josh:It's not like soul leveling or hell's paradise or sometimes there's just good, good shit. You start, devil may cry.
Zach:No.
Josh:I haven't been on, was great. It's not as good as castle. Okay, then, like I figured it's good in its own right. But castlevania to me is its own yes, its own little niche. Like it was done. It was my first big exposure to like I've seen gundam. I've seen like that was my first on full anime series. I've probably like sat and watched through which I'm I'm.
Zach:I'm happy that american uh animation is finally starting to like compete. They're good like compete with Japanese animation. They're getting there. It's not the same.
Josh:No, it's not.
Zach:Japanese animation is so much better, but there's a distinct style to Japanese animation and the way the characters are drawn, especially like the eyes and the mouth and everything like that. So I do like the way the direction of the American animation is finally fucking catching up and stop looking so damn cartoony. I don't know. There's something that's a good way to put it.
Josh:It's getting better.
Zach:It's growing up, it's maturing, yeah, and so I want them to keep going that direction, cause Castlevania was a great start. Knock, turn on, if you saw that.
Josh:I did not. I mean, I think it wasn't as good but I've heard it's good but it's still right, it's so good.
Zach:Uh, but not as good as the, as the OG.
Josh:I do. I do my anime. I like one to two seasons. For some reason for me I like a good one season, yeah, or two is fine If I follow along with it, like solo leveling did, and and Kaiju. Number eight was one season, uh Juj movie and then two um, but like hell's paradise is one. I like when it's just a one strong. It's like yeah, like um, I've all. Oh. One of one of my friends says that uh, they didn't like the. She didn't like our take on um, uh, what was? The show has like tons of episodes we're like I can't get on board with that.
Zach:Oh, one piece, yeah, which is I'm trying to get to it.
Josh:Tell me one piece. It's one of the greatest animes. I've heard this too.
Zach:I feel like there's so many arcs.
Josh:I said that you didn't hate it.
Zach:It was just a lot. It's like right now. I'm literally watching the episodes where it's in 4 by 3 ratio. You're committed.
Zach:I won't commit to that that's my biggest problem with something like that. I actually want to get to the later episodes, to where it's better, and I've heard all about this and I want to get to where it's current, like it's still running, like I want to get to the current new shit. But for for me, I'm all about like the world, building the world, and like I don't like going into something not having, not having the background that everybody else has got on it and they've seen all the episodes, yeah, they've seen all the characters develop to that point. You know what I'm saying. So I can't start.
Zach:I don't know how people do it. Some people do do it that will. They'll skip entire, like see multiple seasons. You're a completionist, I'm a completionist, I gotta go through it, yeah, and I feel like it's like a rite of passage to get to that. So so far it's been kind of a struggle. Um, initially it was fine and what helped actually what helped my one piece um journey here, uh was the Netflix show.
Zach:Yeah, they adapted to live action, so it was cool and it actually adapted the first season pretty first few seasons and it actually adapted the first season pretty or first few seasons actually, uh, pretty well, um so, um, uh. That got me a little bit more into it. So I'm excited to see what season two of the Netflix live action is going to do, and that'll keep me going. I think I'm currently. I'm not that far. It's a thousand fucking episodes. I'm 10% of the way there.
Josh:I've gotten through 100 episodes. Yeah, I, uh, I forgot I came away to bring this up and I should have, if we have enough time. Um, I finally went back and I finished 1923. Is it 1832? I finished it. Um, I finished season two, okay, um, did you finish it? Yeah, yeah, okay, I, I just finished it, uh, last week. Um, I'll give my. We don't do a full episode on, but I'll give my take, I. I like the show like casting. I don't like all the sexual violence.
Zach:I think it gets yeah, it's a little too much, it's overplayed for me.
Josh:So there's some certain scenes that I I knew was happening. I kind of skipped ahead a little bit because I like there's. You know, I didn't need any more reason for me to hate a character.
Zach:It was.
Josh:I didn't need to see another character suffer even more when they've been suffering the entire show. So it doesn't bring anything.
Zach:Tell my Alex yeah, like it doesn't. Yeah, that was just torture porn. At some point it's exactly right.
Josh:I'm like I don't. This to me seems a bit distasteful. And then also the extreme scenes with that asshole prick guy with him, like having these women, which at first I was like, okay, but like cut scene transition, I don't need to see it happen, we can just use our own mind to figure out. Oh, like we need the coffee the the teeth. Okay, just cut scene, like I'll know what's going on, I don't need to see it, it's like you know.
Zach:You know what that reminded me of those scenes with with that guy?
Zach:that what's a rich prick with whatever it reminded me of early 2000s hbo.
Zach:It's where they'd have these gratuitous scenes just to show titties because it was HBO. Okay, exactly right.
Josh:I didn't need. That was my only negative thing about that. I didn't care for. And also I went back and finished finally part two of the last season of Yellowstone and everybody caught shit about it or was upset about it. I got to say I didn't hate it I didn't love it. I was glad it was over, but I know you have to end the show.
Josh:It had to end in a way that maybe not everybody agree with, but it had to end yes like, there's some things I really liked and some things I didn't particularly care for, but I didn't hate it yes I don't think, having that last few episodes that if you say they're shitty, if you hate them, I don't think it makes the rest of the whole show.
Zach:No it doesn't?
Josh:Those first few seasons are some of the best television I've ever watched.
Zach:Yes.
Josh:Um, kevin Costner leaving creative differences with Taylor Sheridan is from what I heard. Yep, I could totally understand it, yeah.
Zach:Um.
Josh:Taylor Sheridan is a incredible writer. He's made great things I really like. I think he kind of rode himself in a little too thick on part two, the whole like Playboy. Cowboy, I know you got a good bod, dude, I don't even see you shirt off for two fucking episodes.
Zach:Even in past seasons that he would put himself in, I was like this dude is a giant prick. He is a prick.
Josh:And then I kind of like how the character Colton Howes plays Rip when he says why he's friends with him. It kind of grounded the character a bit more for me. I was like alright, whatever, I didn't think it was a terrible ending. Obviously I wish Kevin Costner would have stayed, but I'm glad they ended when they did. I didn't need any more.
Zach:There's only so long we can stretch out this land battle. You knew it was going to be kind of a crapshoot whenever they killed the main character off screen, correct? Yeah, so it's like okay, yeah, and I.
Josh:But I will say I did not hate it. No, if you, if you're, if you're having any kind of recourse for what, whatever, just go watch it, just finish it, finish it out. It's not hard, it's not, it's not super long.
Zach:Follow it through, but that was to say to about 1923, though I think it if they would have stretched that out, maybe that that particular season, to two more seasons, they had three out of it, yeah. I think so I think it would have probably been better.
Josh:You think so I think so.
Zach:Maybe because because it was every episode with Alex's journey to get back to Spencer. Spencer wasn't even have that hard of a time. Get back to to spencer. Spencer even wasn't even having that hard of a time. Every episode, every minute of that episode of the of that season, she was just getting fucked up. It was at some point you're just like. This is unrealistic, this would not happen to one person.
Josh:So funny. You say that my dad and I were discussing this about because he watched. They watched the show and he said the same thing. It's like it just seems just not needed and I was like, well, they kind of depict it as like was the world really this fucked up? Yeah.
Josh:Everywhere you travel, if you're a woman or even a guy, it's like stay here. I'm like, well, it cannot have been. I wasn't there, right, and maybe, but it's everywhere she went. Yes, hide your money, hide this, hide your money, hide this, stay away from here, don't go here. It's like was it really? How does fucking anybody go anywhere?
Zach:she got on the train and then, of course, the train can't because there's a snow drift. Oh well, she found a solution. This person, they're going to stay the night with this nice couple. Let's start the race they're going to drive them across. They're going to drive there. Oh well, they get to the gas station. The lady literally warned him, said there's no more gas stations here you might not want to go.
Zach:And they just said they just straight ignored her yeah and then drove and of course, that's what happened, like it's like the odds of all those things happening to a single human being are astronomical. It's to where it becomes, it takes you out of it. Well, yeah, I think that it would be the mood. The show would have been better served if they, if those things happened, but they stretched them out over a longer period and the ending I was like are you fucking serious?
Zach:And then she gets frostbite and she has a premature baby by a period to where that baby wouldn't fucking survive in 1923.
Josh:And they're like we have to chop off your hands and feet and they got to chop off your hands and feet.
Zach:And then she's like no, and he was just like my wife died and then she just died and he just left.
Josh:I'm like I don't know it was too much. I like that actor who plays Spencer. I don't know his name, but I like him.
Zach:Yeah, Brandon.
Josh:Skinner. He's in talks for being the next Batman.
Zach:Yeah, and so you can tell that's Bruce Wayne. I think he has the chops. I think he would get it. I think he's got it.
Josh:I agree, he's got the physicality of it, the stature, the stoicness to him, the voice Stoic, yes, and also there's a charm to him, he's got a presence about him.
Zach:Yeah, he can play. I think he can also. Here's the. This may be a little controversial, and I argue with people Batman. There's no argument there at all, because he actually played Bruce Wayne well too, there's.
Josh:No, I don't care what anyone says, I will agree with you on that hill every time, and we're all Michael Keaton Batman fans. I love Michael Keaton's Batman. I actually went back and watched it a couple days ago. My Batman as well. Ben Affleck has played and I still like Christian Bell. For all you people who are going to get, upset. But Ben Affleck to me was the total package.
Zach:Yes.
Josh:He played. He was an incredible Bruce. Now this he's a grizzled older Batman.
Zach:Yes.
Josh:We haven't seen him as a young Batman. I think he played yes, this is 20 year senior Batman.
Zach:That's true, the Christian Bale movies were better, obviously, just a character. I think Ben Affleck played the better Batman. Bruce Wayne slash Batman. I agree.
Josh:Especially the physicality, the whole thing is dope. I have my own good and bad of the Christopher Nolan Batman, I think. Christian Bale as it went on, I hated his suit and the way it restricted his breathing. I fucking hated that. That part I could not as far as the best screen portrayed villains bar none. Yes, joker and Bane are two of the greatest villains, even Ra's al Ghul.
Zach:Fucking great Liam Neeson yeah that was good when I went to Lexington this past weekend and you know our pre-game before we went out we watched Batman Begins.
Josh:It's a great movie.
Zach:And then, of course, we got fucked up and then stayed out until 4 am and it was a great time.
Josh:Go All this kind of stuff.
Zach:So what did we do as our little hangover cure when we woke up the next morning was continue to watch Batman Begins, finished it and started watching Dark Knight before we went to brunch. They're.
Josh:I don't know, man Like I, that's one of my favorites to go back to Cause I'll just get. Like there's so many streaming here Recently there hasn't been a lot of good new stuff, so I'll just go back in the fields and pull like old trilogies or old one-off films that are good, but those Batman movies are always lingering right there. I'm like I'll get to you soon because those, yeah, those, some of like we saw those in theaters, theaters oh yeah you and I saw all three of them.
Josh:Uh, it's very good this news. Have you seen all the hype around the sinners movie? We need to go see it.
Zach:The michael b jordan movie yeah, it's a dude, it is like some people say it's the set in the 40s, 50s, something like that. It's a vampire movie, vampire movie.
Josh:But they say it's from what and I've heard it from audience scores like 97. They people are saying it's the best movie at 25 so far Like.
Zach:I've heard and I like Michael B Jordan has a hot girl and Haley Steinfeld who I I and they say her character is done well.
Josh:So I think we should go see it.
Zach:That may be our big need to go there, Cause I I'm not ashamed.
Josh:I'm not ashamed to admit that. Up a little bit, I bought that uh sydney sweeney movie. I bought it, yeah, yeah, just so I could see her wait. Which one the uh with her and glenn powell, what's um? Oh um I bought it uh, something about no, let me look it up. I don't know why we always try to guess I got a, got a phone right here, Because all those movies are the fucking same title basically.
Zach:Oh, it's a rom-com, but it's not great. It's a compilation of random consonants and vowels. Sidney Sweeney. There are always titles that people just they're just phrases people say in normal public.
Josh:She's only 5'3".
Zach:What the?
Josh:fuck A little shorty. Anyone but you, anyone but you, anyone but you. So I like Glenn Powell a lot as well, but let's be honest, I bought that because I had heard that there was like scenes with her and I think she has one of the greatest bodies. But I bought it just so I could see her, and then a week later it came to streaming.
Zach:I didn't buy it. But yeah, I didn't buy it. But. I watched the Voyeurs because there's a scene.
Josh:I've seen that scene. Actually, when you called me, I looked that scene up and I hung the phone up.
Zach:It's the most gratuitous scene.
Josh:It's a great one for sure, yeah, so I've done the same thing.
Zach:If there's something I just can't wait to see it. Speaking of gratuitous scenes, apparently I used to watch stuff like this when I was in theater in high school and even going into college. I did some theater stuff in college. Um, I you know I was in at the time because I was in that world. I was into the more artsy film yeah stuff, like I used to watch ifc, like all the time I watch all that shit, good stuff, yeah, sometimes I guess what I mean, but these are things.
Zach:These are, you know, indie films yeah independent film company and I'll. I'll watch an indie from time to time, but you know, sometimes I think a lot of it these days are just these indie movies. They're slow, they're boring, they're uh, they're, they got very woke, a lot of them very quick and they're on based on concepts that are just, it's a small niche, yeah.
Zach:And then it seems like every fucking indie film it was some fucking non-binary pansexual midget. It just became too much. It's just like okay. And also the other thing is that they were just going way too hard in the paint on the sexual stuff where it was like borderline porn.
Josh:And I was just like you need not answer it Because we need to. There's porn and there's good films. Yes, if I'm in the point now and I'm sure you might, you're probably there as well Like where I don't mind the scene setting up for, like the let's say, the couple in the same, like the draw the shades, the shirts come off and then it transitions out or you get a fade out. I don't need to see it actually happen. Yeah Well, I don't really need those scenes anymore.
Josh:Like I don't, I don't, it's just not. If it's not, if it's important to the story, it's sure Like they make love, whatever, okay Goes. On. The next morning they wake up. Week, I can assume what happened. I don't have to see it. I don't have to see. That doesn't make or break the movie for me, yeah.
Zach:Like and a lot of these movies, these indie movies that are very gratuitous sexually. Back in the IFC days they were not A-list actors doing these things, because those A-list actors had a reputation to protect, they were box office draws. They couldn't be seen doing a fucking gangbang in a fucking indie film or whatever.
Zach:That's definitely not the case anymore. A-listers will straight up do some wild shit. Case in point a lot of these indie films are becoming a little bit more. They're like they're Oscar bait. Now here's I don't know if I can't remember thinking of the director, but there was a movie called Poor Things with Emma Stone. It definitely an indie film. Weird has Willem Dafoe in it. It's Margaret Qualley.
Josh:I started it and couldn't get into it. At Margaret Qualley, I started it and couldn't get into it.
Zach:That's when they like, she like, basically like Frankenstein. Yeah, it's like a Frankenstein type thing, like a sexual deviant for a while.
Josh:I didn't finish it. Yeah, it got an.
Zach:Academy Award, didn't it? Yeah, I think so. Maybe it won some or at least it was nominated. Well, there was another movie that I of kindness, and it has Emma Stone in it and Margaret Qualley in it and, uh, also Jesse Plemons, yorgos Latimios yeah, that guy. Well, there's a scene in, uh, and it's real quick, it's a flash you would blink and you'd miss it. But it's there where Margaret Qualley and Emma Stone are straighting or straight. They're doggy style, just getting pounded by two other dudes Really Like, and you see it, oh, man.
Zach:Like not penetration, obviously it's implied I know, Of course, but it's like softcore porn, like straight up and like it's Emma Stone and Margaret Qualley that's what I'm saying Like A-listers doing some crazy. There was another movie that was not implied. You actually saw full-on penetration. Apparently it was like body doubles and stuff, but it had Stellan Skarsgård, the father of all the Skarsgårds. You're talking Nymphomaniac.
Josh:Nymphomaniac part one and two that is a Straight porn. That is a weird movie Weird movie. Shia LaBeouf's in that movie, shia.
Zach:LaBeouf weird movie the whole. He's Shia LaBeouf. Now there's a. There's a scene where he's like he's hooking up with this other, this blonde chick, and it looks like you see Shia LaBeouf's dick. Yeah, penetrating this chick. Apparently that was a body double.
Josh:That wasn't actually him. She blows that dude on the train.
Zach:Blows the dude on the train and they show scene where she gets straight up dp'd by two fucking like african dudes. That actually happened.
Josh:it's that actress actually did do that. It's a weird. It's not a good movie. It's not.
Zach:It's not a good movie. Uh, and this why you needed two parts to tell that fucking story.
Josh:I don't know well, I mean, everybody has their own like sexual curiosity, and sometimes your curiosity, will you want to see some stuff or just assume, or whatever, and there's a there's a sexiness to the whole thing.
Zach:But that actress that basically was getting fucking double teamed.
Josh:She's rough looking.
Zach:She was in. She was in Independence.
Josh:Day Resurgence, resurgence. Oh she was. I forgot about that. She was a little scientist chick. Yeah it Resurgence, resurgence. Oh she was. I forgot about that. She was a little scientist chick. Yeah, it's not a good movie. Yeah, I didn't know that. About the Emma Stone, there's that new movie with Gwyneth Paltrow and Timothee Chalamet.
Zach:There's apparently a film, timothee Chalamet.
Josh:Chalamet. Apparently there's a film with them where she had an issue with I guess that now they have these intimate intimacy coordinators on set to help with that stuff and she was just like we're just like I don't need all this shit, like let's just do the damn thing like we used to back in the day just bang, yeah, just bang. And there's a new movie too, with nicole kidman. That's really risque as well where she's yeah, and it's. You know, it's those I don't know, I mean you, you can't.
Zach:You know that, even ones where they're just doing you know it's, it's not, it's definitely not hardcore, it's not even softcore, it's just and you know a run-of-the-mill sex scene, right, yeah, you can't tell me that some of the hottest people on the planet are imitating a sex scene, and off camera, and their trailers are not banging.
Josh:Well, it's like Samuel L Jackson interview. He was like you just had to tell people like, sorry, if I don't get hard, or if I do get hard, you got to deal with it Sorry. Right. Like they. I mean there's obviously like it's. Yeah, are you kidding me? Yeah, I know I would be boned up the entire time. It would suck it would be so awkward, or it would be so awkward.
Zach:Yes, or it would probably be super awkward, it's Well, what's the one way to get the awkwardness out? Well, that's what a lot of.
Josh:It's funny you say that I just saw a little fun fact where Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet on the set of Titanic that set was coming up with a scene where she has to lay naked. Well, she just flashed him on scene to break the ice and he was just like it did help.
Zach:Yeah, yeah, and it would.
Josh:You'd have Eva Green did that.
Zach:Yes, she walked out in front of the whole cast and crew with a top off. She was like everybody just get used she's French. Yeah, she's different. She don't give a fuck, which I appreciate, I do too, she's a beautiful lady. But you know that there's got to be. There's definitely cases of high percent.
Josh:Well, I mean that's also what's and it's. Alan Richardson brought that up in a podcast that I've watched with him where, you know, when he got his fame going through Hollywood, he's talking about navigating because he deals with some anxiety and some other things too that he's coped with. But he's like you know, you get into a spot that being in this, in this spot, like being around actresses, like attractive women you start questioning your own decisions in life, like should I be married? Like should I hook up with this? Like he said, it's a because you're close. Same thing with justin timberlake had an issue with a cast member. Like you, you're that intimate with a cast member and you spend that much time it affects your brain chemistry.
Josh:It fucks with you. It would You'd not be human if it didn't.
Zach:Right, because a physical thing is happening to you. You're going to have a physiological response.
Josh:It's going to affect the way you think they do on-screen chemistry tests for a reason 100% To sell it.
Zach:And you know that a lot of these actors what they'll do is they'll um actresses and actresses. The actors and actresses, they will when they're doing the prep before they actually shoot the scene, even if it's just like a kissing scene. Right, that's they're, they're out. If I would, if I was, if I was about to shoot a pivotal scene like that, I would, at least you know, like all right, let's like try this out before we actually go on screen, in the trailer or whatever it's just to take the edge.
Zach:But like all right now, we've already done it. Now we don't have to be all nervous and shit on screen I'm sure they do.
Josh:You know, there's probably a lot of shit that goes on like that's why that to me, that's why there's certain couples, and stuff too, that won't like. Uh, chris hemsworth won't kiss, yeah right, anybody else. There's also that one actor he's been in a bunch of stuff. I forget his name. He's a blonde haired guy. He was an asshole in Yellowstone.
Zach:He was in Yellowstone.
Josh:He won't do any scenes.
Zach:Yeah, except for he refuses. So I think I can't remember. I know exactly what you're talking about.
Josh:You don't know, I back shot, or yeah, he said he refuses and I kind of don't blame him, like because it's you're there, he's not. He's like I'm not opening that door, yeah, I'm just not or you could be like adam sandler.
Zach:In every movie, you, you cast your hottest, fucking, you can't, but you never cameo.
Josh:You notice, but you cast the hottest fucking woman. I just watch Grown Ups at the house. I feel like every time we say something, I just watch that. I've watched Grown Ups recently and I was watching Adam Sandler because he always casts the most beautiful women and his wife is always on set as another character's wife. Well, if you watch him with these women, he never does anything. That's crazy. He usually side kisses the woman.
Zach:He's just like a pet. He never does full make-out, he never does a sex scene. It's a hold hand.
Josh:It's a kiss on the cheek. I'm like you know what. It's kind of funny because I could imagine my wife would be like really that's who you're going to cast to play exactly.
Zach:You're right.
Josh:I kind of get it because he's a big family guy, so I think it's hilarious in that aspect because his wife is beautiful too. Yeah yeah, and it's funny you say that because I just recently seen that where of course, he casts Selma Hyde. It's like absolute smoke show. Is that goofball's wife? And in the second movie he always makes it a point to like he's like faders always get hot women at the end.
Zach:Yeah, and then one movie had had brooklyn decker and and, uh, jennifer aniston, exact, yeah oh, uh, yes, that's right.
Josh:Yep, and then go with it, and then jessica beal jessica beal. Oh good lord, one of the best scenes at that that by far may be one of the greatest bodies to ever reveal itself on that big screen that was something I thought we could do, a segment.
Zach:Maybe we'll make a note of this for next time, cause we didn't prep for it, but um is uh kind of is uh, we could do, we could do a two, we could do two parter front front and back uh, each year we can start. Let's say, just start 1990. I'll give you that. Okay, start from 1990 to today, 2025. Thank you, the tits of the year, ass of the year, oh man.
Josh:For real Okay.
Zach:Like what was the?
Josh:Because you know so we had to pick, that's a lot of ass and titties, man, from now until then, let's go on some homework.
Zach:We're going to do some research here. Okay, all right, but there's got to be a year to where that was the body.
Josh:Okay, that year.
Zach:All right, so 1990. So you're talking about 1990.
Josh:We'll just start there, right 1990.
Zach:Ass and titties, ass and titties Best portrayed, yes, best portrayed on screen. All right, cleavage Damn or ass.
Josh:Well, hold on now.
Zach:Or ass, we'll do an ass.
Josh:Because Maybe 93 wasn't a good year. It might not have been a good year.
Zach:All right, I got it.
Zach:That's going to be tough dude, I think we can do it, I can handle it I can handle it.
Zach:I think we can do it. I'll do the homework. I think we can do it. I can make that work.
Josh:I can think of something more recently on top of my head.
Zach:But I wanted to go back to the 90s just because there was probably some stuff that was you know when we were younger. We can explore some new stuff maybe.
Josh:I just watched Splash. Yeah, she had a great ass Right she runs down the beach naked and he was like, uh, can you help me? Right, I forgot Her ass was that it? Was pretty cute.
Zach:It was okay the scene depicting a woman's bare behind or breasts that defined that year where everybody was talking about it.
Josh:I was going to throw one out. I'm not going to throw it, that's the rule. I have one ready to throw at you.
Zach:Actually, we may actually have to amend that for some of the later years. These days they're showing a lot more dick on screen. You want to do best dick. I watched season three of White Lotus.
Josh:I cannot get into that fucking show.
Zach:That show is crazy.
Josh:My mom says the latest season is the best one.
Zach:No, it's terrible. It's not the best one.
Josh:She said it's just as far as twist turns crazy.
Zach:Yeah, okay.
Josh:But I tried to get into season one and I got four.
Zach:Everybody saw Patrick Schwarzenegger I heard it's big. Arnold Schwarzenegger's son saw his cock. So great.
Josh:So it seems to be a thing now, is it?
Zach:big.
Josh:I mean yeah, it's fine, it's a normal size wiener you always remember the first time you see a huge dick on somebody?
Zach:Yeah, like in person, yeah Like you were in person, like in a locker room or something.
Zach:Yeah, yeah, like in person, yeah, like you were in person, like in a locker room or something. Yeah.
Josh:Yeah, it's wild and it's never who you expect.
Zach:I'll tell you. What's more shocking is whenever you see like a micro penis for the first time, it's like oh fuck, because I mean everyone's seen porn.
Josh:So you've seen what a giant weiner looks like. I've seen myself like out of the cold pool.
Zach:Yeah, everyone's seen porn, so you've seen what a giant wiener looks like. I've seen myself out of the cold pool, yeah, and also you look down and it's like whatever, but when you see one, that's actually like oh fuck, yeah, I've seen.
Josh:Yeah, it's on the spectrum. It's either huge or tiny. Both of those freak me out. It's like holy shit when.
Zach:I saw it, it was Navy, obviously.
Josh:Locker room at the gym.
Zach:Shired with a bunch of 40 dudes at one time it was a dude that was in basic and he was on his way to go to Bud's. So he's going to be a Navy SEAL with a tiny wiener.
Josh:Good luck to you, sir. He's probably a total badass now with a locker, probably.
Zach:And he was also short, really short. Short king 5'3" Tiny penis, so he had little man syndrome and little penis syndrome.
Josh:And my fucker was bowed up like a pit bull. He probably yeah, 100%. He probably was like a killer man as soon as he got it he's out there fucking just murdering terrorists right now, as soon as he got that trident, that dick grew. You know what I did 100%. That's what it was. 100%, cool man.
Zach:I want to end it on that. We're creeping up on two hours. Woo, that's okay, we took a little break.
Josh:We'll be back. We had a lot of real life stuff come up.
Zach:Yeah, I had sickness and I was out of town and just a lot of this kind of stuff. I you know everybody can tell I can still kind of have allergies. You're just fucking killing me, paul, and counts Hi.
Josh:Yeah, she wants to. So she said just let her know, okay, so we can do that. And then Amber also has some stuff she wants to talk about. Okay, because she was talking about she loves our episode.
Zach:She said sometimes she'll actually talk to us while we're on the show, people tell me all the time it's hilarious to come up with.
Josh:Uh, I couldn't get out to panga, I couldn't get it out, or I think was it to panga or somebody somebody else, but he was just like yelling at the yeah, at his phone, um, but she has some analytic stuff she wants to go over with us. If they she we were talking about because her podcast she said an episode that was about hot girl privilege is real. She jumped on our bandwagon because she's like, it's so true yeah, but she wanted to share some stuff with us.
Josh:How crazy the numbers are from her own post. Just how wild the numbers range if you don't show skin or if you do like. Just how crazy, like the analytics are for her. That's 100% a thing it is, and she showed me that one time on a video. Like she it's, I mean, it's astronomical. So that's the reason we got to get a camera in here and take your fucking shirt off. Yeah, but our numbers might go down. They might go down for me. They might come and be like not what I thought.
Zach:Or he's t-shirt hot, or we'll get more. If I take my shirt off, it's like looking at, you know, like animals in the zoo, or just.
Josh:I mean, it worked for Bert Kreischer. We'll just take them while I'm coming. Yeah, exactly, you just want to change the lighting. I don't want to white light, I want to look at the grotesquerie that is me. We'll need to get some shadows and some makeup. No, we're not doing all that.
Zach:Yeah.
Josh:We'll want to powder my belly. I really just want to look good in a t-shirt. That's what? Yeah, but yeah she and get that going. But the teacher argument, I definitely want to. I want to listen to that.
Zach:I'm going to have to bring it. I see it, here's my biggest. Just don't get on a tear, I'm not going to get a tear on it, but here's what you're going to preface this to a little teaser. Is you know? People want to throw all these stats and all this anecdote. You know? Whatever from a teacher? Yeah, that's me.
Josh:I think that's what it is. I don't think it's so much like I'm going to cut your throat you cut mine, let's bleed together. I think it's more or less like here's a real-world perspective on it. Here's yours Well.
Zach:I think people want to. Every time I have this argument about teachers, they're not having the argument that I'm trying to have. Well, maybe you need to make sure that usually just it devolves into they're talking about how, how hard teachers have it. Yeah, I, I don't deny that. That's not my argument at all yeah I've you know what I'm saying yeah I, yes, I wouldn't want to fucking do that job.
Zach:No, thank you, I think I don't. It's not my bad, everybody, so I get it. It sucks. There's aspects of it sucks. That's never been my argument. My argument is that you're not special.
Josh:Right, and I think it'd be just neat to hear the conversation, because I don't know a lot about the aspects of it too. I mean, I don't know, but I'm the same about you are too. I'm like I respect and I don't want to be a teacher. I went into school wanting to be a teacher and I backed out. So yeah, I think it'll be fun.
Zach:Yeah, I even had that thought when I was in, when I was in college. I was like, oh, maybe I could. I could do like teach history, cause I like history.
Josh:So uh, I just, I just let her know like I'll let you know, ahead of time the time and a date and we'll have her. She can come. She's usually ready anytime. So uh, yeah, cause I don't. I told him I don't really have this setup that's conducive to four people in a room right now. Like mics and all that stuff, if it, eventually, if it, if we had people more prone to coming in, but phone calls, I think will be cool. It'd be a good way to test that too followers on the show.
Zach:We've done phone calls before we actually had.
Josh:Yeah, we did, yeah, we. Uh, I got it. We got a new follower the other day from another podcast. Um, that she's booked up for the next few months, but I invited her to come onto the show as well and talk movies with us okay, she does horror movies okay old, new, all that kind of stuff I'll just sit in the background just and throw fucking bars.
Josh:So we can go, so she's cool. I think that'll be fun to do a little a crossover with just she's just sitting in the chair. I'll just sit over there and then I found another podcast that they do films as well, but they like pull old films and like kind of just review them on screen together okay and kind of like talk shit and how terrible they were in real time while they're running yeah, they'll have a movie on and then okay right down scenes and, like they just did, 13th warrior the other day.
Josh:Okay, they'll do like, don't pull old movies like willow, 13th war, like and be like look at this stupid shit. Or look how bad-ass this looks Knights of virtue. Yeah, it gets stuff like that. It's, it's cool. Um, I've, I've shown interest. There's a too. So yeah, like we got some, there's some room for some, some growth there okay, well, you know, uh, whatever, anytime yeah, well, I'll get the the with the.
Josh:Uh, stephanie, I'll get that worked out with a time and date, so maybe next weekend we can do that. There's no holidays next weekend or tomorrow's easter, so but, yeah, well, in that, yeah, happy easter everybody. And then, um, like, follow, share. Um, I thought about doing, uh, some merch again. Um, maybe this summer. Yeah, I thought we're getting some new hats. Move like some speedos.
Josh:Just something you might do. I still got the business cards that we I still give out and stuff with the qr codes and stuff. But, um, I've still got a few hoodies at the house and stuff too. But if we get our patreon fire, like if anyone subscribes to the patreon again I may send out some merch to you like a special gift, um, which you can do on our site also. If you can join and subscribe, there's three, five, ten, eleven dollars a month. Any little bit helps. We just put it back into the show, so, or it helps cover cost for editing and everything like that too. So, whatever you can do, that'd be helpful as well. If you're listening, yeah, man yeah, cool thanks peace.
