Oh, that's so pathetic the cheap stuff. Do you have any Do you have any good stuff at your place? I yeah, I have the cheapest scotch I have is over $80 and the cheapest whiskies about 50 so cool. I guess you're gonna be living in all live in the highlife. Yeah Hi no no you're I'm still I'm taking I'm still taking you to the to the liquor store to get your Highland missed your $17 whiskey whatever it is you drink. Trader Joe's deejays troglodyte. I don't always use the troglodyte when describing me that's the only the only thing you can say I'm a troglodyte. I'm a neophyte I'm it's just if there's a word that orally sounded the way you appear it would be troglodyte. And I feel like that's fair. I'm looking at myself right now. And I don't think I look like a troglodyte. I think I look like a very sharp boy. I think sorry. No, I mean, after now after the word pedophile troglodyte. Why, why, okay, you think me right now looks more pedophilic than what's the guy's name and let's look a rouge Cory What's his face? With the porn stash? In the trench coat? How about a lender loss? a lender lawn just looking creepy at everybody. You think? I look like more like a paraphilia here probably isn't pedophilia in France. Well, here's the thing between the two of us. You're the one wearing the high school shirt right now. Like you're trying to blend in with high schoolers, so you can seduce one so that's why we're In what world do you think that Mr. Maia heifer there don't say where I went to high school? I'm cutting that out. I'm not gonna cut out this bit, but just that said, say you should just censor it. That'd be funny. Just fine. Fucking sensory. I'll fucking center you saying where I went to high school. that's readily available, but it's so irritating that I can't say shit about you. And yet you're like, let me just spiel are all Hey, you guys. Do you want Shawn's social security number? We just fucking give it out. You know, let me just put it on the floor. But no, Shawn I say the word bitch and you got to be butt out like what the fuck bro but anyways going back to your fucking High School point. The only reason why I'm wearing my high school shirt is because when I was doing when I was switching out shirts earlier yesterday cuz you know I don't is we're in pandemic times, I'm all alone by myself. I don't really give a shit what I'm wearing wear. So it's like a one shot four days, four years. So here's the thing with my high school shirt. So this is gonna be very long winded and not worth the story. But essentially I have two high school track shirts that look exactly the same but one is long sleeve and the other short sleeve now I took this down closed rack because I thought this is the long sleeve one because I need that in order to put my arm brace on because I had tendinitis But lo and behold, it was the short sleeve one and I was too lazy to put it back on the hook and we're hanging it so I just put it on. Okay, and hold on. I was thinking about this the other day when I put an arm brace not an arm brace but I guess I don't know an elbow sleeve on to go out and hit. Do you have to wear that because your arm is so skinny that otherwise it would be too loose? Like do you have to double up on the shirt in order for an arm brace to actually be no it's done. It gives me a rash if I don't have talcum powder and you think I'm gonna fuckin talcum powder my arm all the time. Like, hey, if it's good enough, it's good enough for you. Well, folks, ya didn't even have to tell me to cut that last show. But I'm cutting that last joke. He made an incredibly offensive racist joke. No, no, no, no, it's not. It's that comes from in high school. There was this kid to a basketball player real tall SON OF A. She was like 610 and every day during gym, he would come out after a huge shower and just pour half a bottle of baby powder down his pants. I said no, I'm not gonna fucking poor baby powder on my arm every day, when I can just use a star. shins sleeve shirt. Sorry if it's good enough for people on my 600 pound life it's good enough for you cornstarch man. Okay I guess as soon as as soon as you get Yani you give him any sort of alcohol even even tipsy all the hatred all the racism all this idea that I need to say I want I just want to get started here's everything I dislike about the Polish number one your sausage leaves a lot to be desired and I find it rather bland too. I don't know what what's the problem with Kabati I love capacitor enough seasoning you want a good you want a good sausage go to Mexico Teresa. So anyways, I know that you're just saying Isn't this what do we do on this podcast? Do we are we talking about folks we haven't even I we had you know here's the thing all this discussion is getting put to the very end cuz I want to be in it but it's not worth interviewing with but I will say when we first started before we even fucking recorded I had the Beach Boys on for this movie and Jani was just like turn it off and I'm wearing my blue light glasses and neon is like oh you think you're trying to look cool and shit I'm like My eyes hurt because a allergies be lack of sleep see just being in my room all the time. I have my heater on and that's really like made my air very I don't say heated dehydrated and it's just like I just feel like shit like I just don't feel like good not sick just add not totally here so I'm filling myself with coffee to be present in this episode. But Jani is gonna fuckin mock me cuz his asshole. I don't why is that one of the carry over jokes? I don't get that that's not what does that have to recur? out? Yes. Especially considering we watched a movie called three kings and that joke comes from the movie three fugitives in which Nick nulty almost starred in the George Clooney role in this movie. I think there's enough connections that I can bring back the asshole to this particular episode loosely, loosely. Okay, so I can make 12 years of slave jokes then right because john Ridley also wrote that one but actually got Yeah, I was wondering if he did that research. Anyways, let's just work on getting out of this old format when you do Hello and welcome to fuck your opinion. This is a movie review podcast with yours truly Sean and my two co hosts Jani pata Scotto and here's his his his co host Conrad vague. Uh, sorry, I just I hated that. No, it's Jani. I'm starting this one. Jani. Hi, Tiana. And ice cube. Ice Cube. You want to say anything? Oh, sorry. Ice cubes on mute. It looks like he's stuck on mute. So I guess. Ice Cube won't be here buddy stuck on mute. I'm sure he has something he's praying. He's praying right now. Hold on, Ella. Yeah, he's praying. He's either praise or he's not going anywhere with it though. He's flipping you off now. He's not he's not doing not Oh, he just signed off. Well, you just signed off. Okay. All right. So well, we have three kings and now we're down to two kings. I got King an adjuster. Sure you wouldn't be a king. This is a movie review podcast. What we do is we go back and forth. Picking a movie one week Yani picks a movie the other week I pick a movie, what our aim what our intention to do is pick a movie that we love that we know the other one is going to really hate last week Jani picked the movie called the forefathers you don't really have to go back and watch it folks because who gives a fuck but it was a listen war movie from 1939 that took place in the desert and you know, had had some interesting stances on some things. So I said what is a good contrast to that film? Sorry, movie, as well as a heist movie because what I've been trying to do in these past 10 pigs is of pig only heist movies without telling Jani. Oh, that's what I was doing in the hopes that we would just inadvertently do it, and hoping that Jani would figure it out, because he ended up actually picking heist movies until the last one so I'm like, Guys, goddamnit I gotta get myself back on course, right? So of course correct. This was one of the options now at the end. If you paid attention to the last episode, I picked the five bloods but Jani was too much of a pussy. Ironically, considering that four feathers is about courage. Jani didn't have the courage to actually watch the movie that I picked. So I gave him something of an easier watch. It's certainly not a better movie the five bloods as I'm far superior film than this, but you know, I gave something that You know we can trash on shell Yeah, and we're gonna we're gonna trash on it is one of the few that I still generally like. I mean, I picked it for the reasons that I just said genre transition, but I do like the movie in the first time that I watched it a guy I want to say it was in high score college. It was either high school or early college and I really dug it. I really liked it hadn't revisited it till a couple months ago. And then when I revisit it, I'm like, this is not nearly as good as I remember. So I was a bit hesitant to pick it for the episode but like I said, Jani being a little bitchy is I we went with it. And yeah, as far as rating is concerned, you know, like, like, we like to say very often on this podcast, not a perfect movie, not a perfect movie. So Jani are decimals, okay? For now, for for now, you've been telling me and this is just going off what you've been saying. So I, it does not reflect my own personal opinion on the matter. But to quote you, and this is a direct quote, I believe this is from the general episode. Yani desk. The day that decimal points are allowed on this show is the day that I go outside, strip naked and commence rubbing myself against every car on my street until the police show up and a massive orgy breaks out in the streets and quote, again, not my words, not yours, listeners, you can go back and verify that listen to the general episode. Okay, I want the fucking time code on that. Because here's the thing. 45 minutes 20 seconds even though you were looking down as if you're reading a quote, I know myself to know that I wouldn't use some of those words in an actual conversation the way you just did. So I know that's a lie. I know you just fucking made that. Well, you know, get it go look at the facts, history, history and past past recordings will will vindicate me. Okay, whatever. Anyways, how am I give this a 6.5 out of 10? Yeah, well, last time I had a friend so even though you set all that you set all that you're used to? It just feels wrong. We've done your 37 episodes and you do a death every fucking die who's given up I've given up caring I'm done. No man. Like, like, like, I try to think of a good joke here. Oh, no, you should just stop like like spike Jones at the end of this movie. I'm giving up I'm done. You know, just like my reaction to his to his death spoiler alert. He dies I don't care I don't care about the thing that you said just like I didn't care about the fact that spike Joe that Conrad dies it's just it doesn't affect me in any any way shape or form. So yeah, let's do this. Yeah, let's do this. Jani. Next what we do is we give a plot summary what is although the opposer the opposing party the DC district trustee disaffected party to solution I'm also paste that I've never come up with a better term than disaffected party because it's so fucking lame. But yeah, it's you know, it is lasted it is it is tried and true and like into a tried and true it's like the process the bros folks in case you don't know Well, probably better prostate brothers because we both have prostate, Titus, but like the prostate bros term, it's not that it's necessarily lasted and more that I'm just too lazy to figure something else out to even put two minutes into thinking about other potential names or terms. So anyways, three kings. So you'll be proud of me. Actually, I came up with this before we record it. Let me just get your notes. Okay. All right. Are you ready? Now God, God, so it's like, okay, imagine the Vietnam section of Forrest Gump but it's Gulf War I rack and forest is just regular Southern hc not an idiot savant. And also he's not even the protagonist in his own movie and that's to the point where he's not even counted for in as as one of the three kings in the film's title and that's that's it Wow, you really set me up for something that was gonna be really interesting and then he just like you always do drop the ball. That's what Jani Pasco does just drop the divorce. We take wet hands, like like this movie, you take you took a football, a grenade football and you drop that threw it up the helicopter grenade football ball and I blew up those Iraqis. Yes. Yeah. You blew up the helicopter. Yeah. You know, I was gonna make a joke earlier. I was gonna say this movie fumbles Are they have fumbles worse than we're fumbling right now the movie fumbles and the explosive football blew them and then you would say you forgot to say oh, we blew them you Oh, you forgot to say that's right because maybe funky spoiler alert guys is getting caught listeners is getting cut. Oh, if you want me to say it now Well, I was if I remember to say that line later when it fits. I'll say we're going to talk about maybe funky later. Anyways. fuyuki she's funky to me. So anyways, moving on. Now Shawn provides an actual Yeah, so my actual plot summary is that we have four soldiers at the end of the Gulf War where they're kind of restless they are at least some of them are restless. And like man, I didn't really do anything and it's the any action and through the search of one Iraqi man's anus, they find a map to Saddam Hussein's treasure, and they go Let's steal that treasure. So we have a heist movie for the first half or they go to some nondescript iraq town and search for the treasure find it kind of terrorize the people in between and then when they get it they run into some Iraqi soldiers but at this time, there's a ceasefire so there's not you know, even though they were once enemies, they're not enemies right now, or at least they're not technically supposed to be killing each other. Right. So the Iraqis actually end up helping them still the goal but only because they are more concerned about stopping the rebels the uprising. That's their main goal. They don't really give a shit about the money right now. So when the Iraqi soldiers start suppressing said rebellion and shooting up some innocent townsfolk our titular heroes are three kings plus one say oh, I don't like that that's no that's not good. You shouldn't have that's not you can't kill innocent people. That's a big bad No, no, no. And then they say hey, let's stand up for the Iraqi people let's let's let's do the right thing and then they escort them across the border and save their lives that's kind of lose all the gold in the process. Because you can't if you have a story in which you're taking blood money like this, hollywood says you can't keep it you cannot keep it you got to give it away like not to give it away or back to Kuwait. Yeah. A lot like triple it's going one of two places. I also I also forgot to know I really loved the military heist genre it's a very niche genre and only a couple movies this Kelly's Heroes and triple frontier like them all but it's interesting how similar they all are in that regard. Like oh, you don't get the money at the end you know, except Kelly's Heroes Well, except except Kelly's Heroes but anyways Jani what what what do we have next? What is our next thing on our to do list on our structure? You read these Snapple fact of the day and folks that's a that's a joke going all the way back to before Shawn was diagnosed with prostate Titus. He regularly got kidney stones and that was because he never drank water. I only ever saw him drink Snapple and shortly after that he had to begin drinking water so there you can do your Yogi green tea quote of the day now that I've now that I've you vibrated you go. That was after the second kidney stone Thank you very much. After the first kidney stone, I said you just kept drinking Snapple and no one's really telling me how I got this. I'm never gonna get this again. I'm still gonna drink my Snapple and then after a second kidney stone, I like three years later, I was like, Oh, I guess I have to only drink water and there wasn't clear liquid the first love of my life Snapple. So moderation. It's just about moderation. Like with everything else. Yeah, I'm not gonna get it's it's it's I think it's less of that and more of just not being hydrated. I'm bad at hydrating myself because other things, but that's neither here nor there. Who cares? lose a lot of fluids. Anyways, so what are you doing all the time Sean? That's not it. Anyways, so listeners Jani was halfway right I do a quote but it's not Snapple fact. I don't have a Snapple fact for you. I have a yogi green tea quote or the day for you. So yeah, what is it the yogi green tea quote of the day is that did you know that the gulf war lasted less than a year? Really I feel like it should have lasted longer is that our fault? Did we not stay there long enough? I feel like we could have really stretched that one out of just you know a few years and interesting that that would be on your your tea bag. But yeah, it is so good watering. It is interesting. Yogi green tea specifically thought a even though we usually do inspirational phrases, we're gonna actually Have a fact like Snapple but that the back is about to call for something that no one really gives yeah it's very convenient guys um but no I mean for I haven't done a ton of research on the Gulf War but it kind of just comes down to wasn't really all that necessary we were in there for very selfish reasons and when we got it sorted out we're like oh, okay cool Peace out. We don't care about you guys. Oh yeah oh yeah anyways, what do we do next Jani? What's our next thing? Well, the next we we sit down and we have a roundtable discussion with all of our other guests and we what we do is we weigh the merits of the of the art piece yeah merits of the art so Samuel Jackson What do you have to say about this? Oh he's me well Oh, he's on mute. I got him he just unmuted No Don't you see he just he's given us the phone call signal he has to go Okay, well, we just lost Samuel. Shawn we'll go next right right next to you and we are losing all our kings or kings he was probably a king and something it's really disappointing that we I spent so I spent so long booking the celebrity guests on the pop up for two minutes at a time to only be on mute and then to just peace off or peace out kind of kind of disappointing. Anyways, what's okay we'll get to bed Shapiro eventually. Tear God. Fuck you. I said this in an earlier episode. I don't remember which one folks but I compared Jani the ben shapiro because he is conservative, talented violinist. He is conservative. I very much disagree with a lot of his political views. And I'm not going to say this about Jani. And when I say this about Ben Shapiro, he does a lot more harm than good. But at the same time, I cannot argue that he is not one of the best argue warriors I have ever seen. If I went on a debate with him, he would kick my ass in like 10 seconds I would not stand a chance and then he played the violin on your grave. Play the game to Schindler's List on your grave, just he he is a master debater and I am not I am a low level debater you know, you think he gets a lot of kidney stones? He's got a wife and kids I bet not. Anyways, so the next thing we do is favorite aspects. Shawn, what's your favorite? What is one of your favorite your first favorite your most favorite aspect of three kings tress my most favorite aspect of three King goes my number one And to be perfectly honest, the only thing that I think is legitimate like true like of this movie is the heist treasure hunt scenes I say heist treasure hunt because it's kind of like a little bit of both truly heist is not truly treasure on in this little middle ground. But anyways, the scenes in which they converge on the town, there are two of them and then they go into bunkers and find the gold or in the first thing not finding anything I like the energy brought to it and I going with what I was saying earlier about liking these military heist settings for the movies. So I just find that to be really engaging and interesting the watch there's a certain excitement and in the setting inherently in to add this kind of selfish endeavor as opposed to what you know you're supposed to be seeing a war movie which is either more selfless or more something more in regards to the actual fighting i think is just an interesting idea. And I just like how it was implemented in this movie. Small point to go off of this as well. Because this is what I'm talking about, like high stuff right now but at the very end when they go to rescue Mark Wahlberg I also liked when they rescued him because it felt like a heist in a way particularly when they using Saddam's cars pretend that they are saddam coming to the place and one of the people in their party is like run away saddam is here is going to kill you guys you fucked up and they're at first like Oh, no bullshit, and then they see this whole Yeah, cavalcade of cars rushing toward them and they're like, Oh, fuck, and then they all run away like cowards, like in the four feathers. Like the blind guy. they they they they run away like that. Just joking. This one with three No, I agree the blind they're not they're all just pretending. blind. I like that con. I like that bit. So the this one aspect, the I wanna say V. foundation of the story, like, concept is something I really like. And I think when that main concept is executed, I enjoyed it. Johnny, what's your first point? Or what do you want to say? My first point? Well, no, I probably something that was admirable too. I my second point. I'll just like I can say I'll just get into my second point. And then my first point that kind of kind of blends into my second point. There's some relatively competent action filmmaking in this. The moments are tense, the editing is fast paced, sometimes a little bit too fast paced for its own good. Sometimes I wish they would have lingered on shots. But overall, just from a visual from a visual perspective, well, well framed, you know, camera movement was what it had to be, you know, I don't know it, there were a lot of different styles of filmmaking in this one. So that's something that that isn't necessarily compliment. But you know, those heist scenes were compelling. There you go. They were compelling. I like I think that with both of our points, were just like, Oh, yeah, we're kind of giving a compliment. But we're, what's the phrase? We're walking on? eggshells. We're walking on eggshells. We're not saying the real points. We're not really getting at it. Okay, well, this is this is leading into my first that's gonna say that going off of what you were saying, there's this one really great shot that really stood out to me in which I think it's a tank shoots at the truck. Now it's not the truck. The jack the tower, the full tank shoots at the four I believe the one that Mark Wahlberg is taken hostage in, and the shot literally is on top of the tank and pushes in, and the debris literally goes into the camera frame. And then as as it covers the Camera Cuts, that was something I'm like, Oh fuck, we're in it. I really like that one shot. And I think this is gonna get to your next point, I found it fascinating to me that you have a movie with George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and ice cube and that the person with the most action scenes is spike Jones. Is spike Jones such an odd choice. Considering many factors, many factors considered it's a very odd choice. And do you have anything to continue to expand on that? Or can I move into my next point, because my first one, the one I just made was kind of a lead in to my real or my second point, my first it's on the outline, and it's my first point, but I'll just read it verbatim what I wrote. Can I just gonna say, Oh, you want to go on through like you want to below my scene again? Okay, go ahead. Blow it up. Just like Jones blow up. You forgot to say, Oh, no. Oh, yeah. You forgot to say how many times anyways, Arrested Development joke, folks. What do you expect? Yes, folks, that's an Arrested Development joke. And it's not even that time in the phrase, it's, I blow you. It's blow you away. But we're gonna get into Arrested Development in a bit, folks, because it ties to this movie quite a bit. With spike Jones was that did you know that he was shooting this movie in editing, being john malkovich at the same time to that had not Yeah, that that makes sense that overlaps because being john malkovich was that like 99 also or 2000 something like that? Can't remember and this was 99 so they had there had to be some overlap especially if he was and this was the other thing folks is that this was spike Jones his first major role in a in a film of any of any sort, not including like jackass. I think it was in the first no the jackass movie he was in the show jackass he like he was also he was one of the writers for jackass, which is he's just had the most storied career to date. And yeah, this is his first role. Second point. There is a great opening shot at the very beginning cameras kind of just hovering over the the crack desert sand and eventually not my favorite crack in the movie. But the new kids on the block. The guy from the New Kids on the Block, runs into the it's always study referenced there. Marky Mark runs into the shot and the shot comes to rest on this guy on a hill and there's some back and forth. And ultimately, what happens in the same shot is Marky Mark shoots the guy from 400 yards. And it's this it's a really like great opening shot and it kind of like deceives the viewer into thinking the film they're about to watch isn't the total and cinematic graphical equivalent of a salvia inspired fever dream. So yeah, that's really cool. The rest of it after there it quickly goes downhill. There's there is very little tonal consistency in this film, and I do stress film I think it has it meets all the criteria that I've laid out in the past. I just don't think it's a particularly good one. It is a film. Yes. It has something to say it has a lot. No, it has a bit. It has very not nuanced points that it makes. Yeah. And going off of that. My second like about making a point is and I have in my notes, Marky Mark's not so good vibrations. And what I mean by that and what I'm talking about is the interrogation scene the when they feel bad actor From Wonder Woman, the Iraqi guy what I say? I haven't it's good like some Johnny. It's not good vibrations. He's getting gasoline poured into his mouth. That's not good vibrations. Dr. Ugg, he was that's not how you spell druggie isn't, you don't need the why. And the IE, Mark, or was that I wouldn't be surprised if Donnie wrote that line. I were lucky writers is so good. I won't be that's all I have to say. If I came over there and just killed you right now, as you just irritate me. You irritate me. You perfects me. You annoy me, you piss me off. Anyways, I thought I with the interrogation scene, I thought it was a good scene from another movie. If it was in another movie, it would be an interesting idea, particularly with the ideas and topics talks about essentially the Iraqi guy is in tears. I mean, I haven't really interrogating Mark Wahlberg but kind of just torturing him to torture him is like you have a child or he's he's like, you guys came over and you just bombed away and you killed my wife or sorry, you on my house. And because of that my wife lost her legs and you killed my son. My one year old son and daughter is a daughter. Well, now I don't know. I thought it was I don't read child the child child. But the point is is why twinsies we said child at the same time. You do know here we're talking about right now. What the fuck? What the fuck is wrong with you? Yeah, way to be so tone deaf and insensitive. We're talking about a Iraqi child getting blown up. And you're saying twinsies like a little? Oh my god. Anyways, I mean, Marquis. I'm sorry. Just keep going. Yeah, I don't want you to finish whatever you think if you should save us sufficiently shame to me for now. Yeah. Anyways, I thought it was a I thought the points that was bringing up or interesting, and it got me going a little bit. That being said, it's kind of a basic, I'll just use the phrase, it's kind of a basic bitch about it, especially compared to you. There was a commercial a couple years back in regards to the Syrian refugee crisis in which it shows Jani I don't know the little girl mercial girl in the UK, and basically her world being turned upside down through a crisis. And it's pretty much the same idea going on. Like you guys think of this. You think of us as somewhere else, someone else and you don't have any empathy, empathy, and you don't think of us as the real world? You know, you kind of separate that out. So when you kill us, when you bomb us, you don't really think about it. You think, oh, whatever, that's elsewhere. But what if that happened to you? Wouldn't you be so enraged and frustrated on like, frustrated is not even enough? You would be a I came to speak to how outraged you should be, you know, so it's trying to humanize the other side. And I think it's a great sentiment. The problem is, it's just not it's not well executed. At least this one scene is decently executed, but overall, in the movie, it's not executed well, but we'll get into that. Fun fact, later on. Marky Mark actually wanted to actually let them zap him one time for real because they had the equipment there, just so we can know what it felt like, you know, and, you know, I'm kinda kind of sad that Marky Mark didn't say to David O Russell. Hey, David. You know, I know you want to make a point about Michael Jackson. But like, I got my CD right here. Good Vibrations. When we sit down in my mouth, it always felt like they were a rustle, just like, but a mark. I think that's gonna break the fourth wall. If does that mean that Mark Wahlberg is a person in this movie that exists? And he's like, David, don't worry about it. I gotta sell my my CDs. I gotta make my money. It's okay. Sean, sometimes people just look they look exactly the same. And that's how the world works. You know, you can just walk up to Bruce yadi. And that's how it works. you'll, you'll think you're Julia Roberts, even if you're not imagine what's what's how, okay, let me because this, folks, I can't remember if he just said this right now, and I missed it because I was speaking over you but what if you did the same thing with Ocean's 12? But it was, well, Pharaoh and that drummer from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I don't remember his name. Chad Smith, I think that's is it? Yeah. So if you did that same scene, like everything's the same. Would you buy it? I think I couldn't tell the two apart I know which is which I definitely could or couldn't could I could tell the two apart and so if I walked up to Pharaoh I'm like, and liar. No, you're just you're just Chad Smith pretending to be Will Ferrell. Do improv right now. Improvise something That's how you know that's your test. Because if he starts screaming at you, he's will fail. So what you're saying So what you're saying is that the only way to tell the difference between the two is a star Yes. And seen and see if the other person says no, but and they say no, but so it's true. But essentially, you'd have to go out and say, oh, man, man isn't isn't such a great day. You know, I feel great. And meanwhile, it's raining. And you know, it's the disaster zone. And a guy's like, no, it's a terrible day. That's when you know, that's not well, Pharrell will file go. Yes. And I got a bad disease up from my head. away I don't I don't feel like I landed that joke. Very well. Well, I know you did. I didn't. Last night go there. I didn't go where I needed to go. You should have gone there. You should have gone there taking pictures bought souvenirs and come back just to prove that you went there, but you didn't now your kids hate you. So my third thing was that I liked that Polynesian and white people pretending to be Iraqis survived at the end. And that is a nod to the fact that one of the one of the hostages is played by one of you. I'd call him like the lead hostage. Was that what you would call him? I don't say go he's kind of a hot he's a prisoner refugee. The lead prisoner refugee is played by Cliff Curtis and Cliff Curtis is he's he is very much not Middle Eastern. He's very much as we all know. Hi. would say you can play a brown guy right. Bam, Bam. And also weird thing his daughter is played by we're getting into it. I mean, not that into it. But like Alicia faka Don't be George. Michael. How do you? Well, no, I'm not having sex with a random man in a local in a public bathroom. So I can't possibly be George Michael, which is a real thing. Well, there we go. That's how you get worse. Alicia, what is her last name for crying out loud? How do you pronounce it? shocker. Hi Charcot Alia Shawkat. Maybe she is of Middle Eastern descent but maybe maybe night possibly who knows the thing she just it? I will I won't go there any further. I took my pictures. I got a view I got some I got the sights and I soak them in and now I'm going back right Why are you talking about what pictures did you take? I went there I went there. I don't need to prove to people that I went there. I know. I went there. Where did you go but I'm not going any further. There. I was there and now I'm here. I'm back. You lost so what were what did we dislike who's on for it? Did you actually want to mention your last thing? Well, no, I want to I want to I want to talk about maybe phoneky real quick. So I would say one of the good things about this movie is that I forgot that maybe was in this movie. So when I rewatch like Oh fuck, that's maybe 4k. And then I had some thoughts about you know, does this mean that this is the maybe 4k and that three kings exists? And they're Arrested Development universe does that mean that a George Bluth home can show up because you know Arrested Development in the last season they get they go to Iraq, they go to a model home in Iraq. I'm like, you know that we can blend these together. So I thought that was funny. I actually instigated me to rewatch a couple episodes of Arrested Development great show hilarious show our IP Jessica Walter she just passed away today unfortunately. Very sad right p Mallory Sterling Yeah. But anyways, great show more about the show more about news what her father Iraqi Yeah, name was Abdul maybes. So half Yeah, half Did you look him up? See if he was Iraqi. Are you just going off the name? No, I'm looking at his he was an actor came from Iraq in 1978. Okay, cool. That's okay. Because the thing is, knowing you, you would just go off the name and be like, Oh, that sounds like an Arab to me. Oh, well. Okay. How many white guys do you know named Abdul? I don't know. Any a it could be somebody's name. 14. What about I'm gonna butcher his name because I don't know basketball. Kareem Abdul Jabbar right. Kareem Abdul Jabbar. He's black. No, you make is okay. I said white. I didn't say I know what you said. But I'm proving the point, which is you don't have to MIT necessarily be Middle Eastern to have that Cassius Clay changed his name to Muhammad Ali. You know, I have I know other people on my life. I won't name who I know you're listening to this podcast, who have changed their names to not reflect their ethnicity. So there are you know, just because you have a certain name doesn't necessarily mean That that is where you are from. Am I right? there? Yeah, no, I I agree. I agree. There are there are some Gray's there. There are some Gray's out there and maybe it's okay. Maybe it's maybe there's nothing wrong with it. You know, that's not really the side. I was. I was there and now I'm here. But let's say right, I would say real quick, because I'm going to share, it's going to lead into one of your negs, and this is another a, and I kind of like that was the 90s indie style slash MD MTV style filmmaking that David O Russell brings to the movie. Again, it's something that I liked a lot when I first watched the movie and then coming back regularly, this time around it just kind of incoherent and inconsistent. I think when it works, I like it, but it only works like a quarter of the time. So it's hard to truly compliment it. I mean, when it's I like the cinematography, that kind of again, that music, video style cinematography, or at least the look of it. Some of the shots recall some of the stylistic things were neat, but I wanted to say it's like cream of the crop. You know, it's definitely not it's like I'm fine with something aging like something being out of the time period. I mean, a movie that I almost picked this time around with swordfish. swordfish is a very 2000 I want to say one very 2001 movie, but it works for that where this it's like, it almost feels like David O Russell doesn't know the kind of Director He wants to be and kind of apes Soderbergh without being nearly as skilled or as talented and it just doesn't work as nearly as well. But there were moments I liked it. So that's my last compliment yadi let's get into it. Let's get into the so folks what we do is now we're going to say our three dislikes we're just going to trash on the movie we're going to shit on it we're gonna you know, take a turd onto this movie but the turret is not going to be a map it's going to be ianis face so anyways um to move past that basically also seamlessly transition into my likes that's what I was implying. What I really disliked was the thing that you liked what I kind of call cinema schizophrenia, it's totally it was all over the place visually it was all over the place you have moments that are in slow motion you have moments that are shot at what is clearly a very high shutter speed. You have moments with dropped frame rates to it's just all over the place and honestly I found it kind of distracting when it when the style would change abruptly like for instance when when I think the first shot is fired in the village right it's totally normal normal films playing at the regular speed and then it goes super drop frame it goes incredibly drop frame as camera pans around to follow the or to map the gunfire between different people between the crew Marky Mark and his funky bunch. And the the Saudi Iraqi soldiers. And it's just it's just distracting. You know, you could have literally just had Marky Mark in the funky bunch. And that would have been a better title for this movie. It's just it's, it's distracting. And it honestly feels like David O Russell had an I'm sure that you can make the argument that that was the style that it was supposed to feel very uneven or very erratic. Like that whole experience was and you know, to some extent, I'd say artistically, that's an interesting choice. But do I think that it was the right choice for this film? Do I think that it was the most effective choice? No, I don't, I really would have liked something that was a little more straightforward. You know, people like and I'll just bring it up because it's recent news. They've liked Zack Snyder, effectively know how to blend different styles of filmmaking, different styles of you know, the different images, slow motion, regular speed, things like that in his filmmaking, and makes it work makes it suit the story suit the characters. This just felt all over the place. It felt a little messy, it felt like he hadn't really gained his footing yet. And I'm glad he eventually did by the time the fighter came around, because it would have been really weird to see silver Silver Linings Playbook shot the same way as three kings. Yeah, I mean, I just think that I hate to really, like start just criticizing people all the time. Well, at least I hate to like really. I hate to take shots at people's characters with this show. Just because, you know, we don't know them and we're really just talking about the movies themselves. But I'm sure you've done the research and seeing Oh, yeah, that he was a Sony we all know this. But it just seems that off of everything that I was reading about him at that time. I'm not gonna say currently because I really just don't know enough about him to know if he really changed or not, but he was a pompous arrogant, douche when he was making this move vicious and he was so full of himself and I think that really comes across in the style of like, everything I do is so fucking genius. I'm gonna do this and it's gonna be the smartest fucking choice ever. I'm a god guys I am on a whole nother level. I think that's the kind of the approach he kind of came into this to a degree. And it seemed that everyone was praising him around him saying, Oh my God, this script this idea is genius. This is amazing. And in reality, the white praise should have been nothing just a shot at him for taking credit for the screenplay. Yeah, I was just gonna say bro, you barely know what you're doing. You're just kind of again you're you're aping other people you are mining other stuff, but you don't even know what your own sense of style is. And it's like listen in the first the first half has the more stylistic oddities and I think again, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't I kind of wish it was carried over but I just if I if I if I could take one thing whether it be the style or the story, I would have preferred a better story than a better style you know? Yeah, honestly and that kind of like if I can just move into my second point my second dislike this story was like you really obvious dislikes. You just stink. Well Didn't you just is this not a dislike is this you do not did you not just mention a dislike or were you just kind of like agreeing your dislike Jesus? Okay. All right. All right. Well, fine. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to take away your second. Okay. You say something. You say something now, okay. Like, you're like you're stealing my gold cutting yourself in to a tiger. You're Saddam Hussein. And I'm Mark Wahlberg. No, sorry. I'm George Clooney. And you're Saddam Hussein. Why am I Saddam Hussein. He's not even in his movie. It's his gold they steal it from him. He is the rightful owner after the Kuwait's the Kuwaiti of that gold. I gotta say I'm insane I'll be the Jordans shot you live you live in a bunker your room looks like a bunker you have long live in a bunker your hair if I was Saddam Hussein would be living anywhere cuz I'd be dead but long hair, those overgrown eyebrows. I just got a haircut the other week. That filthy clothing you probably haven't changed in six months overgrown fingernails. We had a good discussion all right dog who's out by close. Anyways, my first and main point of dislike goes with the story that I was referring to in that the second half honestly just falls apart as soon as the guys get the gold and then this movie decides to be Oh, we're going to be more serious white saviors. But yeah, they're like they want to be white saviors. The movie just instantly just stumbles upon itself. It's kind of like Doom to in that first half, or at least force first 40 minutes I meant to buy after that you might as well just fucking turn it off. To be honest with you. It's the thing is I'm totally fine if you want to say or at least to have the moral a message or the moral high ground of hey, these are guys who initially do something very selfish. And then through the course of their journey, learn to be more altruistic and give to the Iraqi people or help them and save them. And that's excluding the problematic white savior element to it, which is certainly a problem but excluding that well also ice tea is there. No, not ice tea? What's his name? Ice Cube. So yeah, but it doesn't entirely white sail. Still, I think it still fits into that. So Mary does anything in this movie, he doesn't really matter. And that annoys me about the movie. He's just there. Yeah, he's the most wasted person of everybody. And he is a fine performance. So it's like God dammit, you could have had something with them. But anyways, going back to the brethren of the moustache, I really appreciate you know other men with mustaches getting representation on screen Shut the fuck up. You're so weird, irritating. Anyway, I hate when their roles are marginalized. But Jani, you will often make a point you will say I want substance I and I feel that there's you saying I I feel that oftentimes Shawn, you pick a movie that puts style over substance. And I think that's a case that's particularly the case in this movie, where you have a movie that wants to be substantive that has these ideas, but because of David O Russell's insistence on this crazy asinine style over everything else, and because these character, you know, alluding to what we were just saying about ice cube, these characters are not developed there. They just exist, they are there. And because of that you have no particular reason for them to at this point in the middle of the movie, when they had to make a choice. Am I going to go for the gold or I'm going to help these people. There's no real hurdle for them. To overcome, there's nothing for them to earn because we haven't established who they are and their motives enough. I mean, we know they want the gold, but we don't know anything about why they want the gold and do I need that in a movie? No, but it's like, if you're going to have this incredibly sharp transition to a whole other storyline, you have to justify it somehow. And this movie never does. It's like oh, we're just gonna instantly go into this whole other plot and idea but we don't really have the understanding or the grace or the gravity or the substance of it all. So that's why it becomes that savior narrative later on because it's just it's this we want to have a positive message but we don't know how to say it at all and particularly going off of what I was saying before about being sharp it's like first 30 minutes or so movies are very cynical and his take and then it wants to end with a hopeful message while you got a bring us there and the movie does not just again, there's a clear delineation between A and B when he got into B becomes Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Does No. Yeah, that, you know, honestly, like, that kind of covers my second thing too. And my second dislike was just an obvious plot, you knew from the very get go with how cynical The film was, how awful the characters were, how greedy they were, how suspicious that you knew that the movie was going to turn that they were going to try to turn them into the heroes and make them the good guys. And I assume they were going to do maybe some Robin Hood, maybe some duck you sucker they're going to save some refugees and they're going to give away some gold. That's what I assumed was going to happen. And guess what, that's exactly what happened except what you're talking about to this this decision that they make this very abrupt decision that happens like midway through not only is it not like they don't put in the time for it, they don't put in the effort you see like things going on around them. But you don't see exactly how that reality that encroaching reality changes who they are changes their perception and actually forces them to make that decision. It's like, they would have made that decision to help these people from the very get go No matter what, which kind of negates all of that cynicism at the beginning. But it's kind of like the movie took the advice of that little girl from the old El Paso taco commercial and just said Why can't we have both Why can't they save the Iraqi refugees and get the gold luckily they overturn that at the very end very end as a means of like buying the freedom of the Iraqi refugees But still, it's it's just so predictable. And as like a spike Jones's character which is another one of his dislikes. I'll get into that later but as soon as you see how annoying he is you're like oh, this guy's dead that with a title like three kings there's no way this guy's make it he's not one of them. He's not making out of it out of this one alive as soon as you see that the movie is called three kings and he's not on the poster and there's a for now he's dead. Like minute 15 you know he's dead. There's no way he's making it out. I mean, he's the only character that I guess had like really any sort of development but he's not as the irony of it all he's the only the non actor who had any development and yet he's not even build on the movie. No, just kind of there which I don't know maybe he was intended to be maybe like the message for them was acted out through this character maybe that's what Russell intended but it just did not land not that there was a lot of stuff that didn't didn't land for me I don't know maybe it did for people but it just Yeah, and I want I just wanted to say something really quick based off of something you said earlier in your point I would be totally fine if these guys are just complete dirtbags the whole movie that we didn't have that Robin Hood aspect to it I'm also fine if they wanted to do that Robin Hood aspect Well like I think a good example of a movie that takes that kind of good guy persona does not like a one for one but takes that good guy persona and actually does a really good job with it is it man in which characters super kind very generous and he has to learn to you know, he starts off that way but he has to learn to continue to be that way through adversity that is all to say that this movie could have had them being complete dishes this movie could have had them being altruistic like they end up being but in these to earn it either way, and it does not it does not know how to do it. It's Yeah, very hollow. And I mentioned duck you sucker a little bit earlier for how let's just say culturally Deaf it might have been for the 60s rod Steger plays a Mexican fellow red sneakers that Jewish man, you'll want to look at how to turn an awful character into a good guy, especially were refugees and people who are suffering and concerned and make him a hero of the people look to duck you sucker also Known as a fistful of dynamite, I mean, this movie, the opening scene begins with him as a rapist, he rapes he rapes a woman. And over over the course of the over the course of the film's runtime, which is like two and a half hours, so it's a little bit longer than this, you actually come to you see this man make a transformation, you see him become like a more caring person, or at least you see the humanity underneath him. And you see how the experience he's he's going through, which is the Mexican Revolution is drawing that humanity out and up and managing to, I guess, Chase off evil. And that's the sort of thing you want to do. And that's just not really what was here now. And also actually going off of that you that's an interesting point, because I didn't even think about this before. In that Mark Wahlberg's character, like you said earlier, he starts off the movie, shooting somebody killing them, and does not give a single fuck doesn't really ring one way or another. He's not horrified. He doesn't beat himself up over it. He also isn't like particularly Oh, hoo rah about it. He's very disaffected by it. And the fact that that be that idea is only brought up maybe halfway into actually further than halfway, I can't actually remember. But at some point, Spike Jones brings that back up to him and says, Hey, didn't you kill that guy that one time and that's all we ever get from that idea in the fact that and the thing is, if you're going if you're going to have this idea of Oh, we're we are turning a new leaf. We are saving these people, even the you were saying this movie is very obvious. Even the obvious speed would be Mark Wahlberg feels guilty about killing that guy and wants to because of his guilt, he wants to help these other people. That's not even a thing. He kind of has guilt over being a soldier, but not over killing a guy. I think that's a bit of an issue. It just movies just not thinking to be perfectly frank, it has a lot of ideas. It will throw a lot of things in your face and say, here's an idea, commercialism capitalism, but it has no idea what to do with it. All right. I feel like that's a natural transition into your third point, at least on my on my outline, I don't know what's on your outline, again, because you don't share it with me. But that's you have a third point here. And I feel like it's a good, good place to mention that. Yeah. What's your third point? Yeah. So going off of that. My third dislike is that and is kind of going off of what I was saying earlier, in terms of David O, Russell's direction. So I understand why before you were saying, oh, Sean, I thought you already made this point. So my bad is kind of this point. But kind of not, which is that David O Russell does a lot of stuff for shock value that at the end of the day is kind of devoid of any meaning or any value. So for example, the thing that instigates the whole second half of the movie, which is that maybe foom, Kay's mom gets shot and killed. It's a harrowing, devastating scene that if the movie gave a shit about could be the real backbone of the second half of the movie, and could have really made the guys change their minds. You know, maybe if, when they were a first entered this town, this woman approached them or had some kind of interaction, I don't know. But essentially, you have this woman there just to get shot and killed in a very brutal way. And then it's not even it's only brought up once later BY CLIFF Curtis, her husband, he says, I saw my wife get killed. And that's basically it. And he's also a little disaffected by it. And now I can understand why he may be a little disaffected by it because he's trying to worry more about stress trying to stay strong for the people and for his daughter, but at the same time, then is totally left abandoned. The whole movie the other characters, nobody thinks about her again, the little girl who just lost her mother. Hmm, you know, I feel like I would be hysterical the whole time though. And the other thing about this and this is one of my dislikes, but I was just thinking about this what is the timeline does this do these events take place over the course of one day? Because I think they do. I think it's like dawn to sunset one or two days. Yeah. Is there a nighttime I don't remember a nighttime is that when they go underground? cave? I think there could have been a nighttime, okay, maybe two days? Yeah, that's not enough for a little girl to get over the five or six year old girl to get over the death of her mother, who was she saw get shot in the head, or a man or the husband. And the thing is, it's not even that the characters got over it. It's that the movie itself got over the movie said we did that to make you really aghast and really shocked and angry. But we don't have the heart. We don't have the follow through and know how to actually have that matter. Have that mean anything and that's a scattered throughout the whole movie. I mean, there's a lot of Oh, going off of what I was saying about the critique on commercialism. In capitalism, there's a lot of Oh, everything that's in Saddam's bunkers are these American products, these one guy is trying to steal a whole bunch of jeans, this, the bags that they carry the gold out of is actually Louis Vuitton bags that, you know, here in America, they are worth a lot of money. They're, they're just showing that, hey, these are just bags, we don't care about them, because we're just going to use these to carry the gold out, and then they toss them. It's an interesting visual. It's an interesting idea. But there's nothing that's truly ever said about this contrast about these American products showing up in Iraq showing up in Saddam's bunkers. It's just there. It just exists, but I don't think David O Russell knew what to say about it, or wanted to say anything about it beyond like, Oh, I'm gonna think guys who I'm in your face, you know? Yeah, I'm giving you some stuff to think about go home and think about it. I just felt like he was jerking off on my face. You know, it's just right. I bet you'd like that. Anyways, my last point it's just and I mentioned this earlier, and it's kind of this kind of like goes off of what you were saying about the movie not caring about a lot of just doing things to like cuz they're sensational, because they, you know, they they elicit some sort of emotional reaction and then not really caring about them. Conrad Vick spike Jones's character, he's just annoying. He's annoying the whole time. And there's big, he's annoying the whole time. I think there's like one kind of like, interesting moment where they're underground and he sees a dead man, I think is a dead holy man. They're wrapping him up preparing him to be taken to a shrine and he starts thinking about death and his mortality. And then just goes back to being kind of annoying Conrad Vig and this is a slight on Spike Jones his performance I think his performance was great. I don't think the character was particularly well written. I didn't like him. He was just kind of stereotypical to me. Also, side note, a lot of the American soldiers just weren't in shape like the he wasn't in shape he wasn't it didn't look like he had been doing nothing in the desert waiting but working out while waiting for combat like that's kind of what they did. That's why like you know, there there are fitness standards for them. But that's besides the point but then the movie just kind of kills them off. Like you think he survived helicopter was coming had come through had just been like empting like Gatling gun shells all over the place. He runs away with another guy and hides under corpse of one of his one of his comrades. And then after every they think everything's cleared, he jumps up and he's like, yeah, I'm alive guys. And he starts like running and towards Marky Mark and Marky Mark smiling, you know, everyone's having a good time. And then he just gets shot just gets shot like three or four times just gets shot to get shot and no real just get shot to get shot. Just because you know, we can't have four kings, that's not going to look good on a poster, Spike Jones, you're not photogenic enough, we can't put you on the poster, you have to die. It's just it was so predictable and so pointless. And it's more insulting that it was clearly intended to elicit that that emotional that sort of like painful, visceral reaction, but they just did not do the legwork to earn it. They didn't earn it. They wanted to do a lot of things. And they just did not earn it and substituted that narrative strength for visual style. And it's frustrating because yeah, I there I saw a lot that could have been really good. This movie could have been so much the film could have been so much better. And yet it wasn't. And it makes me angry at it or it's for being just so lackadaisical. Yeah. And like what you were just saying, you've you said that I thought this was pointless. And I think that brings up an interesting idea that you could make an argument Well, I'm trying to show that war is pointless, that death kind of comes wherever and that it is pointless, but at the same time, the thing is, thing is even when you have that sort of pointlessness IE when the mom gets killed, I think as an example, you still have to have a point to it, you still have to have a reason as a filmmaker to that pointlessness you know, and that this movie doesn't it's like pointless because we need a character to die we need to elicit emotions also, why on earth did they not give a single fuck when he was dying that he starts he gets shot? Just go right to Marky Mark. That's the other thing Marky Mark. Mark Wahlberg gets shot, and they say, fuck spike Jones. You're a director. You're not an actor. We got to save this guy. He's got the prettier face. So they say mark, Where the Wild Things Are. We're gonna focus on him. He's got a six pack is ridiculous. Yeah. And so marquee marks dying because his lung is leaking air into his chest. And he's essentially just like suffocating on it like Jani was when he watched the movie. And when he's saved, he looks over and he's holding hands with spike Joe. Spike Jones is dead but you know, marquee marks almost a death completely overshadows this character's death. Yeah, again, just you know, like, it's like you took your your rifle and you just shot yourself in the foot. All right, anything else you want to say about this movie? I mean, I feel like I already expressed how it made me feel. I think you summed it up probably the best when you said, David O Russell, he got a little too big for his britches in a lot of ways, artistically. In his interactions with his crew and his cast, and it shows it leaked into the final product. And I'm not gonna say it tarnished it because there are, you know, this, this film does have a statement, there are some redeeming qualities to it. When you also, when you don't think about the subway station bucket drummer who scored the film, that's a that's a slight at the score. The score just sounds like somebody's beating drumsticks against each other the whole time. It's needless score is fine. Any point hate it. I didn't love this, but I just felt like extracting that's what you get when you and this is again, going back to the ocean's 12 episode, folks, Ocean's 12 has a great soundtrack. And Jani had the nerve in our likes to say the music, I guess as if they say, Oh, you know, I guess the music is okay. Like bitch. You don't know how much worse it could get. It could get worse. And yeah, this is I don't know if this is worse than Ocean's 12. In my book, you would still it's definitely not better. 12 No, no, no, it's definitely it's, it's, uh, I don't know. So I guess I might as well move on to my rating. And I know that I provided a direct quote from you about not using decimals and then you contradicted yourself, like the hip, the giant, flatulent hypocrite that you are, like, but you know, I've decided directing this movie and having a message. I'm a hypocrite with my message. Did you read by the way, did you read that one trivia fact about him going to like the the White House dinner for with George W. Bush. Now what did he say? So David O. Russell attended a fundraiser for George W. Bush at the at a warner brothers executives house. And he he walked up to George Bush and this was during the post production for three kings and he said Hi, I'm editing a film that will question your father's legacy in Iraq and George Bush, after a moment said Well, I guess I'm gonna have to go back there and finish the job. And I thought that was just such a slick response. I made say what you'll want about the guy but damn day Amanda, that was before he was president. He was just he was just I think it was he was just a governor. So that what you're saying is that David O Russell is responsible for the Iraq war. Yes, yes. He is responsible for the Iraq War. He, he worked. He? I'm not gonna work. We're getting into 911 territory you use the word of slick on this podcast is very questionable between that and the lead character from four feathers. I don't know, man. What's your fucking rating? Mmm hmm. Oh, give it a five points. Eight, which I think is one below your Ocean's 12 so I hope you're happy. Yeah. Or something like that. I think you gave this over Ocean's 12 I have a fit. All right, man. I feel like there's been a very lackadaisical episode because we're both like we are fucking talk about this movie. All right. And it's like, I listen. I saw I needed to I still liked this movie. I don't hate it. I just I'm not crazy about it. Yeah, I didn't hate it. I was just like watching this the whole time. I was thinking, Man I I'm not enthralled I know that I'm conscious of the fact that I'm not invested in this if this were worse, I could at least have fun hating on it but I didn't even take notes I didn't even make like have like witty things to say about certain parts. I was just thinking it's not worth it. It's not worth it folks. Three Kings call and it's not worth it. You know? I thought I was good. I thought there's gonna be a funnier episode because I thought I thought we were going to be able to make a lot of prostate bro jokes the you know, map up the guy's asshole and you know, saying like, Oh, you know, that's like having pasta. Titus you know, you know how that feels Jani because we both have props to Titus. It's like we both have a treasure map up we are asked and then I was going to on camera, take my pants down and have you inspect my anus to make sure I don't have a map of gold up my ass. And you were gonna say Shawn, I don't see a map of gold up your ass but I do want to look further into that up your ass and I said, Oh, Jani. I'm not I'm not there with you. We're just friends. And then to quote to provide one of my favorite quotes from the animated series SpongeBob Square Pants. I don't get it. This Sky's talented he doesn't have to do blue. That was very blue color. It was an awful joke next week we're watching Zulu. I hope you're happy. Zulu. Let's see, Lou. Is that on Hulu Zulu on Hulu? Well, no, you're gonna come visit me so I thought we would sit down and watch it together because he already has it down. We're gonna watch it in my living here on the episode, folks, but I know I've been kind of lackadaisical today. I keep saying that word. lackadaisical. I said I used it once you just set it for the third time I set it for the third time because I'm barely keeping track of myself. I'm so tired. Because I have to get ready for the fucking flight to see you. Because my flight is at like 1am and I'm not gonna get any sleep and it's gonna be disaster because I have to see you and I'm gonna get I'm gonna be allergic your cat and I'm gonna fucking die is what's gonna happen. You're not gonna see me anymore folks. It's gonna be the end of the podcast because I'm gonna die Carlisle's getting boarded. You don't have to worry about it all. You know all the hair off Jani is to mine George Clooney. And we're gonna get her to fix the carpet over the toilet drapes. It's not going to be any cat hair and I'm going to collect it all and we're going to put it in your dinner and to put it right to go along with four feather pillow. my pillow is just gonna be four feathers and cat here. Shut it down. I'm I'm ending this one. This is over. This is done. Go fuck yourself. Okay, go fuck yourself, buddy. See you See you two days. See you in two days roster bro.
