Transcript

Speaker: Hello, I'm Ryan.

Speaker: This is You're Not Watching That, the podcast where I'm finally catching up with all those films I should have seen, but my parentes wouldn't let me.

Speaker: And we have visuals.

Speaker: We've made it to episode 16 of the pod, and this week we're back with a man.

Speaker: The last time we saw him was schmoozing what seemed to be an underage lass in the 60s and having the time of his life.

Speaker: It's the Swayze man, the limber Pat, or just plain old Patrick Swayze.

Speaker: He's the cooler in the double deuces, trying to sort shit out for the main man, Frank Tillman.

Speaker: Yes, it's time for Roadhouse, and a man who's been once described before as Roadhouse in Grimsby, whilst I don't know what the situation was.

Speaker: It's Dan Fudge.

Speaker: How's it going?

Speaker: You alright?

Speaker: Yeah, how do you feel about being visual?

Speaker: It's weird, isn't it?

Speaker: It's weird.

Speaker: I feel like I'm surrounded by a lot of colour.

Speaker: That's why I have to wear a black T-shirt, just to calm it down a little bit.

Speaker: Yeah, this is doomed in on me more than it ever does.

Speaker: So you can still see, for anyone who's listened before, the blue thing behind.

Speaker: But we'll try and do more visuals.

Speaker: Imagine we'll laugh about this one day when we're starting Hollywood with that weird Scottish bloke who's always on Lorraine talking about rumours.

Speaker: So, yeah, we're going to try and keep this to a neat 45 because we do appreciate people watching the visuals of my quiffage or your Turkish work for much longer than that.

Speaker: We'll potentially have, you know, had enough.

Speaker: So, yeah, for those of you who have been listening for one pod or a few,

Speaker: This is what's been yapping at you for ages.

Speaker: Dan, do you think your voice suits the face?

Speaker: I don't think it does.

Speaker: I don't think people are expecting this game show curly hair that I've got.

Speaker: Or you're right, the turkey teeth.

Speaker: Yeah, no, I've had this thing for years when I've tried to draw people, and they might say draw yourself.

Speaker: I always find drawing me easy even before the glasses, because big eyebrows, even for a beard, it's even easier with a beard.

Speaker: You just do crazy fucking hair, this and that.

Speaker: When we made you on FIFA through the years, you're nearly impossible to make because you're just man head, whereas mine always worked really well, didn't it?

Speaker: Yeah, just generic man.

Speaker: That's me.

Speaker: Just press randomise.

Speaker: I'm first one.

Speaker: There you are.

Speaker: That's me done.

Speaker: But a good man all the same.

Speaker: So in a sentence, anything this week that stands out in terms of life has been Daniel Howard Fudge.

Speaker: I always like to pick a random middle name.

Speaker: I can remember.

Speaker: I, uh, I've not done much this week.

Speaker: My energy levels have been on their ass and I can't remember, I can't work out if I've been ill or, uh, or I've just been hung over from the weekend that we referenced last week.

Speaker: So I'm just trying to, I'm just trying to get back into the swing of things now.

Speaker: I've just, I've just had the Monday's of Mondays.

Speaker: So, uh, you know, see how it goes.

Speaker: I'll probably think of something cause time goes on, but you and my man, you and I managed to pop for a pint.

Speaker: We did.

Speaker: We did that classic thing where we met with another mate who's from Huddersfield and another lad from the south.

Speaker: And it always happens where it's like, what I said, it's like the next pats who go to LA and hang out together.

Speaker: It's like just northern lads down south only hang out together and talk about whippets and shit.

Speaker: But yeah, I don't know about you, but my accent the next day was well northern.

Speaker: Yeah, mine goes in and out.

Speaker: It's up and down like a pair of kangaroos in the mating season.

Speaker: Oh, there's always one of them.

Speaker: So for me this week, because we do it on different days, so we haven't really had a full week with it.

Speaker: Like I say, a couple of swills, a couple of drinks, a couple of us choosing what we think about the people of Brighton and Hove.

Speaker: No one really goes, I don't have Hove anymore.

Speaker: I must just throw that one in.

Speaker: That used to be a hunting spot back in the day.

Speaker: God, that sounds aggressive.

Speaker: Is it better to say I used to shoot pheasant?

Speaker: But yeah, that was really nice.

Speaker: You need man time, don't you?

Speaker: Putting the world's rights, as we call it.

Speaker: It does you good, doesn't it, Dan?

Speaker: Oh, yeah.

Speaker: Very much so.

Speaker: Very much so.

Speaker: Because I don't know about you, but in my social situation with work a lot of the time, it's just people talking about phones or just like, have you seen that new thing?

Speaker: And it's just like, it's good to just be able to go, do you remember when and you've got the same vintage?

Speaker: It's all right.

Speaker: That's why I always said to people, if they're 40 going out with 18 year olds, how the hell do you make that work?

Speaker: I have no idea.

Speaker: I get it at work all the time.

Speaker: I don't know what they're talking about or what's important to these people, but apparently someone getting a couple of thousand likes on TikTok.

Speaker: That's the biggest thing to happen to these people this week.

Speaker: Well, it's the biggest thing to happen on our TikTok.

Speaker: Yeah, so for me, yeah, not a great deal.

Speaker: Someone little girl on Sunday who decided to not want to talk about daddy's forest t-shirt, but put Baz the owl on her arm, stick it in the air and say, up the owls yet again.

Speaker: I may have turned her into a random Sheffield Wednesday fan, which is quite funny.

Speaker: So this week we are talking about another Swayze film.

Speaker: We've had loads and loads of input from people saying about what films they think we should watch.

Speaker: There's some right crackers on there.

Speaker: There's some, you know, I still get people going, what, you've done Terminator yet?

Speaker: I just did Arnie recently.

Speaker: So we are revisiting Patrick Swayze, who I think needs a bit of redemption after...

Speaker: because every week I mention it when I'm doing those shows that we do going I just watched Dirty Dancing recently and all the girls in the audience go what the fuck and I go yeah a bit rapey a bit weird how young she so it's nice to try and give him another chance although I think there's similarities with this film in some ways which we'll come to so yeah we've done Roadhouse now as I always do and now with added graphics and stuff these are the things I knew before

Speaker: Family Guy.

Speaker: Is that it?

Speaker: Nothing about this film.

Speaker: Nothing.

Speaker: What was it on Family Guy that he said?

Speaker: He said he tries to solve the world problems with kicking.

Speaker: Just nothing.

Speaker: I was watching it going, I think I've seen...

Speaker: I'm going ahead a little bit.

Speaker: I'm going to do this slightly differently.

Speaker: Normally, Dan will know this more than probably people who listen to the pod.

Speaker: I do like a blow by blow.

Speaker: So as I'm watching, I'll put like a thing of as I put, you've probably heard of, I say things like man with injections too much and shit like that and random stuff.

Speaker: This one, I kind of just watch scenes and let a few roll and see what stayed there.

Speaker: I was going to try and do nothing written down and see how you went because we can do that.

Speaker: We can watch films at the cinema and talk about it.

Speaker: um but yeah there's a few bits where like later on there's a bit where he's having sex against the wall so a bit of um otis redding who was obviously very key in the music of dotty dancing and i thought this man can't in this period do a film without having some sort of sexual situation to the music of the classic soul man of the 60s it's just like i think i've maybe seen that scene i thought it was from dirty dancing and it turns out it was from this bugger so you can and he's in water at the end and shit like that without doing it so

Speaker: Moisture Watch gets another mention.

Speaker: Honestly, yeah, there you go.

Speaker: There hasn't been one without me.

Speaker: Maybe, damn, we are made up of whatever percent water.

Speaker: Yeah, I think in Family Guy, even when he said Roadhouse, I knew of it as a film.

Speaker: It's like Point Break.

Speaker: I've not seen that film, but I know it's Point Break.

Speaker: This is kind of like what I said at the start of doing all these pods.

Speaker: So yeah, there you go.

Speaker: Roadhouse from Family Guy, Peter Griffin, kicking shit.

Speaker: What about you?

Speaker: Is it Paul Barton?

Speaker: No, it's not.

Speaker: It's not.

Speaker: I was quite late to this one.

Speaker: I was only 16, 17.

Speaker: I went round to a guy called Lee Buckley or Lee Bucko or just Bucko.

Speaker: We went round his house in one of those big long summers where you've got no money, but you're off school and you just spend every day with your pals, just every single day.

Speaker: Like at Holiday Bible Club?

Speaker: No, we were watching, you know, movies that were not like Holiday Barber Club, you know, but we were we were like 16, 17.

Speaker: And this is really interesting, actually, because it sticks.

Speaker: It sticks with me.

Speaker: This is the first time I'd ever seen.

Speaker: And my apologies for turning it quite crass.

Speaker: I'd ever seen doggy style sex in a movie.

Speaker: I'd never seen that before.

Speaker: And then Lee Buckley announced that.

Speaker: that uh he was and i quote back scuttling that bird in that back office so i'd never heard that term before so i i it just it just comes i don't know what it is when anybody mentions that that this movie to me for some reason that that scene absolutely just pops into my head and i don't know why

Speaker: It's ironic knowing our new year through 2005 and 2006 working at Butlins, our art imitated life.

Speaker: So, yeah, and what were your thoughts on the roadhouse, as I want to call it?

Speaker: Sorry, have you seen the Dirty Dancing by this point?

Speaker: Was this your first dip into the Swayze or what?

Speaker: Oh, no, I'd seen Dirty Dancing a number of times by this point.

Speaker: So this one, I'd never seen, I'd not seen Point Break yet as well.

Speaker: So I've not seen Patrick Swayze in what you'd refer to as a 16-year-old as a non-girly role.

Speaker: You know what I mean?

Speaker: Yeah, because, yeah, it's heartthrobbish.

Speaker: I mean, this is definitely a film of two halves.

Speaker: This is a film that starts with a bit of... I've been lording films we've done that have got to the point kind of quick.

Speaker: Now, Top Gun, I think, as we've said, is planes, man, trying to weirdly have sex with this woman.

Speaker: Some of them have been like, there's a problem in the woods, predator, that's going to sort that shit out, gets on with it.

Speaker: This takes a little bit longer to get... And it's too long.

Speaker: This is just too long, this film, in my opinion.

Speaker: Because... Were you going to say something like that?

Speaker: Do you think it's too long yourself?

Speaker: Because it's probably me trying to catch up to watch it for tonight.

Speaker: I was like, will it ever end?

Speaker: No, I was kind of like, I wanted to know, because you had no preconceptions of what the movie was.

Speaker: So you built, you know, do you know what you were building up to?

Speaker: You knew there was a crescendo coming, but you didn't know what it was.

Speaker: No, in some ways I quite liked it.

Speaker: I quite liked the, it reminded me of them films that,

Speaker: you see them now on something like, so I work for Samsung in the day and I've got, I've got a Samsung TV.

Speaker: And sometimes if you've been playing the Xbox or doing something else or streaming to your TV, if you leave it alone, it goes to Samsung TV.

Speaker: Now there's things on there like the Baywatch channel, the, uh, how do they do that channel?

Speaker: Shit like that.

Speaker: All random shit.

Speaker: But there's also kind of like movies in the day channel.

Speaker: And it'd be someone being,

Speaker: I love you, Tina.

Speaker: I've just moved here from Nebraska.

Speaker: He's a good guy, but he's got a secret.

Speaker: His heart was hurting.

Speaker: It felt like one of them for quite a while.

Speaker: It didn't feel a very top-level film, I must say.

Speaker: So could you not understand why this was such a popular boy movie then?

Speaker: I can in certain parts of America.

Speaker: Yeah, I can if you lived in that place.

Speaker: It reminds me, because it's obviously got that thing with the band, doesn't it?

Speaker: With the Blues Brothers with the chicken wire in front, getting the bottles and shit thrown at them.

Speaker: Which actually is a modern thing where apparently Adele and people are going on about don't throw stuff at us.

Speaker: Because I heard someone say at a gig on one of the Saturdays, go, did you hear someone threw a jelly baby or something at Rihanna?

Speaker: Oh my God.

Speaker: And everyone was like that.

Speaker: I thought, you wouldn't have been with the Beatles in the 60s.

Speaker: George Harrison did an interview and said, I like jelly babies.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: the women of Sheffield Coliseum are rolling them down on him and God knows what.

Speaker: It's just like being part of being on stages, you know, think of Shakespeare and what you tech on the stage and I don't think that's that bad bottles and stuff spitting with the sex pistols.

Speaker: It's almost like a sign of endearment that in those bars, you know, why they've got the chicken wire up because it just felt like the wild West, Dan.

Speaker: I can understand.

Speaker: That's probably why those hick bastards are watching it going.

Speaker: I start when my dad grew up proper bars.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: God damn, I used to go to watch bars.

Speaker: I used to hit that geezer right between the eyes.

Speaker: So there's a film, there's a film, have you seen Dewey Cox Walk Hard?

Speaker: I haven't, no, but I know the premise.

Speaker: I've seen it many times.

Speaker: It's one of those that just really got me.

Speaker: It's got a lot of Muso in-jokes.

Speaker: It's based on Ray, and it's based on Walk the Lime.

Speaker: But it's, oh God, John C. Reilly.

Speaker: John C. Reilly, yeah.

Speaker: And it's got all these things where Jack Black's playing one of the Beatles with Paul Rudd, and it's all funny.

Speaker: But there's a bit where he's sweeping up in a very black blues bar at the start, and the guy...

Speaker: injures all his fingers and because he knows his whole act he does it sadly including the bit where he does all the very racist words that the black guy says on stage and then he does a bit where the owner says my god what was that these people have come here to dance erotically to music and it just felt like one of those where it's like these people have come here to wear very tight shorts or there's a bloke at the start dancing with his shirt off just going yeah fuck it and it's just like that was where you've got it wrong trying to straighten this place up this is what it was like from dusk till dawn as well

Speaker: Yes, the Dust Till Dawn thing, I'm glad you picked up on because there's obviously the bit behind the chicken wire.

Speaker: And then when all of a sudden it changes in Dust Till Dawn, he's playing the geezer's torso.

Speaker: You kind of expect that to happen at some point and go, oh, they probably ripped that off there.

Speaker: Yeah, I guess.

Speaker: But maybe if that, because that seems culturally to me like what those bars would have been around that time.

Speaker: It's just, I played a lot of Red Dead Redemption too.

Speaker: And a lot of those places I've gone into, like Valentine, I was just generally trying to get some more bullets and read the local newspaper once in that game.

Speaker: I went in and I accidentally pressed run.

Speaker: And I went through the saloon doors, twatted someone behind the door and it was off.

Speaker: We were kicking off.

Speaker: I genuinely was playing going...

Speaker: it just reminds me of nights out in Skegg and stuff.

Speaker: I just, I didn't mean that.

Speaker: I was just, it just bugged me.

Speaker: And that place bugged me throughout when I was watching this because there's this, do you know what?

Speaker: Randomly, because I didn't see it coming because I didn't know a lot before.

Speaker: There's a lot of arse and boob in this one.

Speaker: This might be our leader.

Speaker: Yeah, there's a lot of 80s boobs in there.

Speaker: And I think this is the first 80s boobs have come across that have been augmented as well.

Speaker: There's not much movement in any of them.

Speaker: And I don't want to keep pulling at that thread because we're not bawdy lads.

Speaker: But you know what I mean?

Speaker: There's a bit, yeah, they've just chucked some nudity in here for dads, haven't they?

Speaker: There's no reason really for it to be in there.

Speaker: We're not bawdy lads, but at the same time, there was a bit of us that's either found, what was I at uni, and it was like the best of Mayfair, and it showed like, you know, for those of you with younger situation, you couldn't just get stuff on the web.

Speaker: You had to find literature in paper form, whether it be in the back room of a building site you're on with your dad, or getting up the bravery to go, I love something from the top shelf, make sure no one's coming around.

Speaker: And this one that I found at uni was found, bought, whatever, stole.

Speaker: You always steal porn, by the way, because no one ever admits to wanting it.

Speaker: No one ever goes, did you nick my pornos?

Speaker: Because no one has them.

Speaker: And it was like the best of Mayfair from 70 to modern times.

Speaker: And you do see a difference in what was either associated as hot and whatnot.

Speaker: And I must admit with this, I kind of went, the Sam Fox era has gone, hasn't it, by now?

Speaker: Yeah, very much.

Speaker: It was a different shape to what was popular a couple of years before.

Speaker: Yeah, but it's funny as well because certain films just throw in a full gambit and go, we've got nakedness, we're going to have a load of booze, we're going to have some stabbings and stuff like that, we'll chuck some drugs in.

Speaker: There was a bit of drugs at the start, which I'm going to tie in with those who are watching it and going, I've had a honking cold for a week and kind of keep nipping off to have a little swig of green tea and blow my nose, which I don't think looks good on here.

Speaker: And for those concerned about me mainlining the Columbian,

Speaker: Not happening.

Speaker: I'm just nipping down here to have a bit of that.

Speaker: So whatever.

Speaker: But yeah, so we've got that.

Speaker: One thing I did notice at the start as well, because we're at Dalton's main club, aren't we?

Speaker: There's credit cards and cash going around.

Speaker: There's a very sleazy looking band on, which I guess is meant to give some sort of kudos to the blind lads band.

Speaker: And our man, I've got his name here again, Frank Tillerman, who's wandering around, does look like a seedy bugger.

Speaker: Cuts to Swayze.

Speaker: And then, yeah, he gets him to come to the double deuce.

Speaker: And he goes fairly easily.

Speaker: He goes over and does his job.

Speaker: He's obviously known.

Speaker: But the nice bit is you kind of don't know why he's known for.

Speaker: Is it known more in America, this thing of the cooler?

Speaker: Is this bigger thing over there?

Speaker: Because in the UK, it's a bloke with a bigger yellow badge and potentially the bigger blacker coat.

Speaker: Yeah, there's the job of the cooler.

Speaker: I don't really know what it is.

Speaker: I assume that's just like head doorman.

Speaker: You know what I mean?

Speaker: And yeah, and then he stands there, doesn't he, and does the, like, surveys the scene.

Speaker: He kind of just has a look across what's going on and goes, yeah, I'm going to, I'll sort this shit out.

Speaker: This is a right mess.

Speaker: And then inevitably a brawl kicks off.

Speaker: Yeah, sees all, not like Kev from Borough Lamarche, who's going, it all comes blasting passing because he was too busy chatting up some girl who turns out to be 15, going, what?

Speaker: I was bloody having a...

Speaker: You know what I mean?

Speaker: It's a different time.

Speaker: What was it?

Speaker: I was young when I needed the money.

Speaker: There's a bit that I was going to send you a clip of, but we've done some different ones instead, where he's swapping the car, and I didn't quite get it, but obviously you get it quite early that he's got experience and knows his car's going to get fucked up.

Speaker: And he meets that chap outside the bar, that little old black guy sat there, and he throws him the keys, and it's the way he says, what do I look like, a valet?

Speaker: But it's just the way he does it.

Speaker: What do I look like, a valet?

Speaker: But he does it really, I don't look like a valet.

Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker: Gives him it.

Speaker: I'm trying to remember, because you're doing this a bit different with this one.

Speaker: We're going to have some more visuals with the clips and stuff.

Speaker: Are we far off our first clip just yet?

Speaker: Are we still going to get some double juices?

Speaker: Okay, so Dalton's got to the double juice and introduced himself after surveying the first night.

Speaker: Let's have a look at his first team meeting.

Speaker: I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice.

Speaker: Well, how are we supposed to know when that is?

Speaker: You won't.

Speaker: I'll let you know.

Speaker: You are the bouncers, I am the cooler.

Speaker: All you have to do is watch my back and each other's.

Speaker: Take out the trash.

Speaker: Can you imagine the, what was it, the fox and ducks or partridge in Attercliffe, that conversation when it was stripper night?

Speaker: Yeah, the dog and partridge in Tinsley just walking up.

Speaker: I think it would have been something a bit more like this without any prompting.

Speaker: Dan, it's time to cut into an acting set.

Speaker: I'm going to turn to you and say, right, who have we got on tonight?

Speaker: Just you, Dan.

Speaker: Yep, just me, like, yep.

Speaker: So just so you know, we've got some rugby lads coming in from Sheffield Island, I think it is.

Speaker: They're on the way to Zeus afterwards in Funky Bus, right?

Speaker: So we've got three lasses on at first.

Speaker: You know the ones I mean.

Speaker: Right.

Speaker: And then after that, we've got them other two, right?

Speaker: You know, the Ottens.

Speaker: So what they'll do is they should just chuck all the money at the Ropians, get pissed and have no money for others.

Speaker: So got any contingency plans for that, Dan?

Speaker: Well, if they kick off, like, I'll smash the first in.

Speaker: It's as simple as that, like, then I'll...

Speaker: All right, have you paid the coppers with that 10-0 left behind Barth?

Speaker: Yeah, I had a word with Johnsy and all.

Speaker: He's probably not coming down for till like half 11 or something like that.

Speaker: So we'll be right.

Speaker: We'll be right.

Speaker: Nice one.

Speaker: My brother Kev's on the other door.

Speaker: Oh, just a quick one.

Speaker: Tina, put some more of them tins of snuff in the back.

Speaker: Students seem to like it.

Speaker: Right, let's open up the doors.

Speaker: Now, generally, not far off what happened where we all went to a thing and everyone threw money at this.

Speaker: Women were skipping ropes and God knows what and had no money left when they brought on all the young women.

Speaker: And there was genuinely lads pre-mobile phone stuff going, will you take card?

Speaker: It was just like, can you imagine in Attercliffe?

Speaker: Horrendous days, but they were young and needed the money, as they say.

Speaker: So he goes in there, and you just know it is going to kick off, don't you?

Speaker: Because these people come there for scrapping.

Speaker: But I don't know about you, Dan, and you've seen some things.

Speaker: You've said you've been in the industry for ages doing what you've done.

Speaker: I know with our past working together as well, that stuff.

Speaker: There's so many faux pas.

Speaker: How many did you count in terms of things where you're going, you threw them into a table, that's going to kick that one off.

Speaker: The things you say, the intimidation, I mean, it's just a minefield of not what to do, isn't it?

Speaker: All I sat there was sitting there going, the paperwork on this is going to be absolutely horrific.

Speaker: Licensing are going to be knocking down the door in the morning, wanting CCTV.

Speaker: But I assume the 80s were a different time.

Speaker: I weren't old enough to go out and view these places, and I wasn't in that part of the world either.

Speaker: So, you know, I was looking at it thinking, this is annoying me.

Speaker: But the interesting thing is I can also see...

Speaker: There's two things that you can see from this.

Speaker: So there's two things that doormen do.

Speaker: One of them is from dusk till dawn, and that's their shit tattoos that all doormen get.

Speaker: You've seen them.

Speaker: That's moved from tribal to, like I said to you, what do I call it?

Speaker: Sleeves with koi carp.

Speaker: Sleeves with koi carp replaced that in the early 2000s, yep, after Chinese symbols had a brief stint.

Speaker: And then the other one is that

Speaker: bouncers, right?

Speaker: Doormen are essentially just paid contractors.

Speaker: Do you know what I mean?

Speaker: They're there to protect the license and the license is the full license and objectives and I can bore you to death with it all day.

Speaker: Right?

Speaker: But you go, get rid of this geezer.

Speaker: There you go.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: Now, they, especially here as well, where I live on the South Coast now.

Speaker: So there's a point here now where my doormen seem to think that they are

Speaker: They get best damn cooler in the business.

Speaker: Right.

Speaker: And they're like, well, it's my door, isn't it?

Speaker: And, uh, and obviously cause it's my door.

Speaker: I've got to be careful who are letting in and who don't let in.

Speaker: And then all of a sudden, so he's jumping on that.

Speaker: Is that a gent?

Speaker: Do you notice it with them that have come through it now?

Speaker: Cause there was that change, wasn't there with the official things?

Speaker: And do you think the old guard has sort of just gone, fuck it.

Speaker: I can't kick someone's head in as much as I wanted to.

Speaker: Absolutely.

Speaker: So there was a bar in Rotherham called the Tivoli.

Speaker: It used to be attached to the Rotherham United ground and used to pay 15 quid to get in as blokes and 10 quid for women.

Speaker: And it was free drink all night.

Speaker: And what you'd get is those just type of fat ropey geezers that would just throw people down the metal stairs at the back.

Speaker: But then now you've got the older guard who are kind of on the way down a little bit.

Speaker: And these young geezers who think they're like, oh, cool.

Speaker: So you'd be talking to one, right?

Speaker: You'd be chatting away.

Speaker: You'd be like,

Speaker: How's it going, Paul?

Speaker: You all right?

Speaker: And they all go, yeah, not so bad.

Speaker: I've been out, been out.

Speaker: And I'll be like, tell us about this, tell us about this tear we had last night.

Speaker: And what they do, they come, roll the shoulders forward.

Speaker: I can show you now, now we're live.

Speaker: Roll the shoulders forward.

Speaker: Yeah, yeah.

Speaker: Do little Del Boy head.

Speaker: And they go, well, obviously the Gators had a bit of a fall.

Speaker: He's fouled it down.

Speaker: I've given him a slap and I've kicked him out, you know.

Speaker: And it was out in hand.

Speaker: And I was all against the book.

Speaker: And I've written you down the book.

Speaker: Like, you know, I'm not the coppers.

Speaker: Just tell them what's gone off.

Speaker: You know what I mean?

Speaker: And that generational thing is changing a little bit.

Speaker: And you're right.

Speaker: I was watching this thinking, oh, God, I know where my team get it from.

Speaker: It makes me feel a bit like the football hooligan thing because I was a bit probably, well, I was way too young to be anyone who was going to get slapped at football when it was awful because I was a kid.

Speaker: I remember me and my mate Chris, when Forrest had played Leeds in a pre-season friendly, we were eating chips near Trent Bridge, Forrest's side.

Speaker: And we heard this, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, from like behind the city ground and from the other, they come over the bloody bridge.

Speaker: And I looked at him and it just started kicking off like a Wild West right on Trent Bridge, like windmilling in everywhere.

Speaker: I just looked at him eating chips and went, do you want a scrap?

Speaker: He went, no, I'm all right.

Speaker: I was just watching it.

Speaker: You know, so like...

Speaker: You're a certain age, but I think certain age groups now, there was that thing, wasn't there, resurgence, where lads will go and meet just to have a tear up and they've got their squads and they've got their tiny little bags around and that shit.

Speaker: I think some people want to see it now as a bit of a badge of honour.

Speaker: Did you ever have a scrap at football?

Speaker: I had a piss at Grimsby Town once on the terrace and that's me hardcore.

Speaker: Yeah, take that.

Speaker: Take that.

Speaker: Take that, Mr. Man.

Speaker: I got caught in a Rotherham versus Swansea tear-up.

Speaker: I was just going to laser quest.

Speaker: I don't know how that happened.

Speaker: I'd like to fight my way out of that.

Speaker: Do you know what's now called laser tag?

Speaker: Because I got invited the other day to go and do it on Thursday.

Speaker: Do you want to do laser tag?

Speaker: And I don't mind having a go, but I feel worried that a man at 42 is playing laser tag.

Speaker: No dignity.

Speaker: There's no dignity in that.

Speaker: No, I think I told you this before.

Speaker: We knew a girl called Emma B. You used to go up with Kearzo.

Speaker: And we all, I knew her as a kid.

Speaker: And we all went around Laser Quest, as it was.

Speaker: And she fell over and twisted her ankle.

Speaker: And for the whole of the time, everyone just kept going up to her and zapping her on the floor because she couldn't move for like the whole half an hour.

Speaker: She's there going, fucking hell, fucking hell.

Speaker: I'm just going...

Speaker: Got to get them points, fam.

Speaker: I got mega points.

Speaker: She lost it, it's fair to say.

Speaker: But, you know, last one on this that made me laugh.

Speaker: So I was in Brighton a long time ago, and it was more party central.

Speaker: And I was in the loo, and there wasn't many people in the bar.

Speaker: And we thought the bouncers, you're going out being all cocky, having you smoking, I go, all right, how's it doing?

Speaker: You're asking silly things like you do to a taxi driver about, how much do you earn?

Speaker: You know, shit like that.

Speaker: And I went to the cubicle, and I heard some footsteps coming in, and I was just like, oh, fuck.

Speaker: fuck's sake and all of a sudden I had a bit of a bang on the door so what I did in my confidence which 90% of the time wouldn't work come bursting out the door went oh go out bounce it wicked I'm thinking about becoming a bouncer mate as many courses or anything you can take and it bamboozled him so much that he did his little finger in the air went John is that course still going tomorrow all right yeah come with me to the front mate took me to the front signed me up for the course told to come and pick me up tomorrow give him the wrong address never went on the course

Speaker: Oh, wrong one.

Speaker: I was young and I need the... So, yeah, the bar staff are awful.

Speaker: He buys a shit car, as we know.

Speaker: I was going to ask you what the worst car you've ever owned is, Dan, and when did you buy it off Pete Derry?

Speaker: It was a G-Reg Ford Escort with all the Barry kit on it and a big exhaust.

Speaker: And then when it came to MOT time, I'd realised that it welded the brakes on.

Speaker: I mean, yeah, they won't work.

Speaker: Yeah, they all seized up, and I was like, why don't the brakes work?

Speaker: I bear in mind, I take, you know, at the holiday park we worked at, I took it to a geezer that worked on a fun fair who did MOTs for some reason.

Speaker: Why he didn't do that with, you know, with his normal life, he just did MOTs.

Speaker: I need MOT on that.

Speaker: He went, Dan, I've got a problem for you.

Speaker: I went, what's up?

Speaker: He went, yeah, the brakes have been, you know how they're normally screwed on and you change the brake disc?

Speaker: Yeah, no, they're welded on.

Speaker: So we'd rather get, if you think of welding, right, where you've got to get the mix right and the fire and the gas and all that, or just using fucking screws, it plumped for the welding.

Speaker: It shows in some ways a diligence to the job that he wanted.

Speaker: When you said that, a man who does welding on the side feels like a mum's mate who reads tea leaves or something.

Speaker: Not quite as violent.

Speaker: My claim to fame with cars, I'm not a big motorhead, is my dad got me my first two.

Speaker: I've been teaching me to drive in an old BT wagon.

Speaker: You won't remember him anyone who's too young, but the front's like a van and the back is like a yellow cube.

Speaker: And he used to take me down Skegg Seafront to the car park and it's a long shift gear stick.

Speaker: So it's about the length of my leg.

Speaker: And you go bouncing around in that.

Speaker: Did my test and all that shit.

Speaker: My first car was a Fiesta in hearing aid beige.

Speaker: And for those who are a certain age will definitely know what I mean by that.

Speaker: And it failed its MOT because they said there was shards of metal from the boot aiming at the tire, which I hadn't known.

Speaker: And then my second car was a Montego we got, which had 20,000 miles on, which was something like 1,000 years old.

Speaker: But fair shits to that.

Speaker: Again, here in a beige.

Speaker: I only had cars in that colour.

Speaker: Got us to gigs, to football up in that hilly bit in Sheffield where you used to play up on the hill.

Speaker: All the pitches are like this.

Speaker: You know, you kick it from some.

Speaker: Graves Park, I think it was cool.

Speaker: But yeah, no, so my first two, which I didn't really care because I kept hearing in my head going, third-class wheels are better than first-class legs.

Speaker: You know what it means?

Speaker: If you've got to go somewhere, you walking on your legs is always going to be slower than a shit car.

Speaker: Oh, I thought it was a reference to picking up women for some reason.

Speaker: Like, if you've got a shit car, you get the top birds.

Speaker: I genuinely thought that was the advice you were being given.

Speaker: No, no.

Speaker: I've said it so many times since, and I feel a thousand years old, I kind of know what it means.

Speaker: Depends now, having worked for a company for six years, you've given me a brand new car that's got full cover of service and everything that never breaks down.

Speaker: I'm going with go with a new car.

Speaker: if you can yeah yeah a to b yeah just make sure it don't break down rather than going to see david bowie in birmingham it breaking down in borough the marsh the uh what was it uh scirocco you bought for 80 quid from an auction with him and having to replace the fuel pump with a biro because you're anti-anjuvant in a bag um so yeah i was just i could tell a whole podcast on the cars of my dad and how things break down

Speaker: I mean, again, this film's difficult, Dan, because I was, I know I didn't write as many notes, but not a lot goes on.

Speaker: He gets a room with Emmett, who looks a bit like the old man from Home Alone, mixed with your classic barn,

Speaker: barn-dwelling American yeehaw, doesn't he, old Emmett?

Speaker: He's not got much to talk, but he comes in at the end.

Speaker: The B-Nights thing, as we mentioned, that's there, which you should clip from there.

Speaker: The name is Dalton, I quite like, because the guy who was playing guitar straight away, playing a bit of music myself, he was playing on his lap, which isn't a prerequisite of being blind, but it's just what they do a lot in southern guitar.

Speaker: That's how they teach you, is it?

Speaker: Yeah, for those who don't know, a lot of time in country music, you'll hear this like...

Speaker: and that's actually a lap steel it's not actually like a guitar it's more like a i guess it looks a little bit like a half-sized piano with guitar strings across it and you like strike it with these like um claws almost on your fingers but you can sort of do a similar thing by putting a guitar across your knee so that's what that lad was doing and i like how his air's all crappy at the start and then by the end of it he's gone into full 80s kind of like bouffant hasn't he yeah yeah yeah it's a full thing i'll tell you what let's uh let's go to the introduction when we uh we get to who composed the music jeff hardy

Speaker: Thanks, man.

Speaker: So you play pretty good for a blind white boy.

Speaker: Yeah, and I thought you'd be bigger.

Speaker: Jeff Hardy is the wrestler.

Speaker: Jeff Healy was the musician.

Speaker: Do you know what?

Speaker: The second, because I'm not a big, you know, whatever it's called these days fan.

Speaker: I was going to say, right, I think I know that bloke is.

Speaker: That's not him.

Speaker: Imagine him coming in, he's got some lap steel to play, and then 10 minutes later he's got to smash up Randy Orton for a cage match for the million dollar in the bank or whatever the fuck it is now.

Speaker: Can you just tell me something, just to see how quick the education works on this both ways, because obviously it's always an education for me, it's very rarely the other way for you.

Speaker: Have you used the term lap steel before?

Speaker: No, I just used it then.

Speaker: I fucking love that.

Speaker: There we go.

Speaker: Let's see if you can try and use it every other podcast now.

Speaker: Yeah, you're going to be listening tonight.

Speaker: Dan Fudge on the old Lapsteel.

Speaker: Yeah, do you know what?

Speaker: I really like that guy who played him.

Speaker: I can't remember the character's name.

Speaker: Do you know what he's called?

Speaker: The lad who plays guitar?

Speaker: Oh, God.

Speaker: Lapsteel Larry?

Speaker: Yeah, Lapsteel Trev.

Speaker: Jeff Healy.

Speaker: Cody.

Speaker: Okay, I'll go with whatever.

Speaker: I'm never watching this film again.

Speaker: But he... Yeah, do you know what?

Speaker: I liked his tone.

Speaker: He's quite... He's kind of like, oh, fuck this shit.

Speaker: Knows his thing.

Speaker: He knows... You know, we've all... I've definitely done those gigs where Grimsby kind of working men's club going...

Speaker: It's an Elvis quote.

Speaker: I'm pretty sure I've not said it on here before.

Speaker: Him and the Colonel Parker used to have a kind of a motto of turn up, get the gig done.

Speaker: It's quite basic, but I'm sure there was times, even though Elvis was probably just lauded and loved by the ladies and whatnot, but just get it done.

Speaker: You turn up certain places going, fuck me, this is going to be a nightmare.

Speaker: But when the money's in your pocket and the door of the car is shut, whatever the car colour may be.

Speaker: No, I liked him a lot.

Speaker: I thought he was...

Speaker: what is clearly a very sort of half-baked kind of film in lots of ways in terms of quality and scripts and all that.

Speaker: I thought he was all right, actually.

Speaker: There's a bit coming up here.

Speaker: So, you know, I've got my guy.

Speaker: There's two guys that I loved in a sense.

Speaker: There's a bloke who sat at the bar early doors.

Speaker: I think it's when Dalton's first come into the Double Juices.

Speaker: And he's slowly coming in.

Speaker: He's checking it out.

Speaker: And it's the bit where you've got, you say, like a knife.

Speaker: You've got drug abuse going on.

Speaker: You've got clearly, oh, there's some boobs.

Speaker: There's this going on.

Speaker: When he gets near the corner of the bar, this guy doesn't know he looks like this because I doubt this bloke was even more than, well, probably a teenager at the time.

Speaker: He looks just like Zinedine Zidane when he's got no air.

Speaker: And he sort of sees him.

Speaker: And you think, don't you, when you're watching him go through the bar, that's going to be trouble.

Speaker: And the kind of guy just goes...

Speaker: But in my head, I heard him go, So he was all right, because again, he's that bloke who's going, you can imagine, for years at Christmas, it's that bit where I gave my seat for Patrick Swayze, where he ordered his coffee.

Speaker: Did you get as well when he ordered the coffee, and he said leaded or unleaded, and the guy went, leaded.

Speaker: But I never saw him slip anything in it.

Speaker: Caffeinated.

Speaker: Oh, because the Americans are ahead of the curve.

Speaker: I thought that was a thing that only came to the UK like four years ago.

Speaker: Sorry, I know they love their Joe, don't they?

Speaker: My guy who...

Speaker: I was annoyed Dan because he appeared a few times and I'd got him labeled as my, we'll do a clip for it.

Speaker: I keep saying every week, the guy who's, or the woman who is my character that just turns up.

Speaker: So when he's living with older Emmett and he looks across the water, very again, really reminded me of the camp in, um, dirty dancing, all this shit kicks off across the water.

Speaker: Every woman has to get her boobs taken out, thrown in with her heels.

Speaker: And there's all men who you just think, well, right.

Speaker: Scruffy bastards.

Speaker: You know, Oh Jesus Christ.

Speaker: And there's a bloke who's having a right good time.

Speaker: He looks just like Rod Hull.

Speaker: Oh, is it not the guy that gets squidges on the cheek and he goes, I love this guy.

Speaker: Oh, yeah.

Speaker: It says, I love this guy, Rod Hull.

Speaker: I've written.

Speaker: So does he say it?

Speaker: Again, I forgot that.

Speaker: Does he say it?

Speaker: The Rod Hull guy or the other one?

Speaker: No, it's the body of the movie.

Speaker: And it's his house where the party is.

Speaker: And I think, you know, when he mentions if you go for a guy's knees and take him down, Sexy Voice comes over and does that to him when he's pinned up when they get the beer delivery in a bit.

Speaker: He's one of the goons

Speaker: Yeah, because he does it as well to Wesley at the end, doesn't he, when he goes for the knee and he goes down, which will go to Emily and go, gosh, yeah, no, that guy there, I thought, look, Rod Holt, then he gets a kick in a good few times and you've gone, Rod Holt, for those who, again, do you know, we do it, we do it with Bob Cowdery's, I think, we did it with, you did it with, who wouldn't you have it, they had a career?

Speaker: Oh, Gary Wilmot.

Speaker: Always remember his name, don't you?

Speaker: And you've done that thing.

Speaker: Oh, like the Chuckle Brothers, if someone in Wyoming was trying to look it up.

Speaker: Again, Rod Hull.

Speaker: A southerner, I believe.

Speaker: Man with a puppet on his arm.

Speaker: Poor quality puppet.

Speaker: And then you think, all right, maybe it's a puppet.

Speaker: What did the puppet do?

Speaker: Got pissed off and bit people.

Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker: And then curled up its face when it was angry with them.

Speaker: Very good at being expressive with either this was it, and then it went, like, it's annoying.

Speaker: We don't like you, innit?

Speaker: Yeah, yeah.

Speaker: We were big on puppetry back in the 80s, apparently.

Speaker: We just had it thrown down our throats.

Speaker: Just, hey, I as a puppy guide, it's an emu.

Speaker: But to be fair, Dan, like I said to you before, whether it be Baz the Owl or...

Speaker: What we got?

Speaker: He's just looking for a puppet now.

Speaker: So this is this chap here.

Speaker: You all right?

Speaker: How you doing, mate?

Speaker: You all right?

Speaker: I've been right ill, mate.

Speaker: Right, anyway, so this is one of my daughter's puppets.

Speaker: But on his back, which is a bit weird, he's got spaces for three spaces because that's the three little pigs.

Speaker: And you put them on your fingers and he comes along and nam, nam, nam.

Speaker: But the thing is, it's the bewilderment.

Speaker: She proper talks to him.

Speaker: I'm going to add one more as well.

Speaker: So I've started doing this thing, which please message me on the pod if this is potentially damaging.

Speaker: When I pick my daughter up, I've got about a 20 minute drive back to mine.

Speaker: And what I like to do is, and this will die soon because she'll realize what I'm doing.

Speaker: I put my arm out like on the roof of the car, a bit like this.

Speaker: And I'll just go, hey, did you see that monkey?

Speaker: She's like, well, there he is.

Speaker: Oh, you do that classic.

Speaker: You've missed him.

Speaker: He's over there.

Speaker: There's a monkey swinging through loads of trees and shit.

Speaker: And she's like, well, what?

Speaker: And she's like bewildered.

Speaker: I can't see you.

Speaker: And she shouts to him like, where are you, monkey?

Speaker: And then I'll say, if he's on the roof, you'll hear him.

Speaker: And I go, bang.

Speaker: Oh, he's there.

Speaker: But then she's taken to asking him questions.

Speaker: So she'll go, hello, monkey.

Speaker: And he'll go, bang.

Speaker: I'll do two for yes and one for no.

Speaker: Do you like Dada?

Speaker: No.

Speaker: And she thinks it's hilarious.

Speaker: He doesn't like me.

Speaker: Bum, bum.

Speaker: Stuff like that.

Speaker: And then he'll go.

Speaker: But I was just thinking, is it?

Speaker: Because she told her mom, she went, there was a monkey on the roof of the car.

Speaker: And it's just like, of course she did.

Speaker: But she tells everyone, she goes, Dad had that monkey on his car.

Speaker: And I'm just thinking, I think it's an all right imagination.

Speaker: It's not like the monkey's trying to get in and bite her, is it?

Speaker: He's always some sort of fun.

Speaker: It's a friendly monkey that chats away with her.

Speaker: I think she'll be all right.

Speaker: Okay, so if you are listening to this and you're about, I don't know, 10 for some reason, you become a therapist and deal with my daughter in the future when I'm gone.

Speaker: Sorry.

Speaker: So how do we get from monkeys on a car to... Fuck knows.

Speaker: I think 45 minutes has gone for a shit already.

Speaker: You've done really well.

Speaker: No, we've done half an hour.

Speaker: We've got 15 left and I've only got nothing left here, Dan.

Speaker: Um, the doctor.

Speaker: Well, no, it is, it is quite thin, isn't it?

Speaker: The doctor.

Speaker: Right.

Speaker: So he meets the, he meets this lady.

Speaker: Now bear in mind, their first meeting, there's been a, there's been a tear up at this boozer and he's been, he's been swiped with a, with a, with a knife, hasn't he?

Speaker: And, uh, she's stitching him up and he's got his hand behind his head.

Speaker: And there's a really weird still where it's kind of like got his arm up and he's like, yeah, get right in there.

Speaker: And it's weird.

Speaker: Now,

Speaker: This was the most unbelievable bit for this movie for me because a nurse would not date anybody in the world who is in that profession.

Speaker: And then in this clip, just listen to the way he talks to her.

Speaker: Hi.

Speaker: Hi.

Speaker: So you're looking for somebody?

Speaker: You.

Speaker: So she stood there all doe-eyed like, oh, he's just kicked some guys out.

Speaker: This essentially started the town to fall apart as well.

Speaker: This was the blue paper ignition of all this stuff that's about to happen across the town.

Speaker: And she stood there, could be all doe-eyed like,

Speaker: But not for her.

Speaker: all right, she's going to somehow become something in this.

Speaker: I just thought it was the way she stood out.

Speaker: Maybe she was quite central.

Speaker: I think it's when he brought his own dossier of all his medical issues.

Speaker: Because like you say, when he's first sat on the bed like this, what's happened here?

Speaker: And what did he say?

Speaker: Something like an accident.

Speaker: Because they would be going nowadays, like you say, paperwork.

Speaker: Should we ring...

Speaker: I think we need to ring someone about this or something like that.

Speaker: And then she just staples him.

Speaker: But he says here the thing about, she's going to give him an injection, isn't she?

Speaker: And he says, pain don't hurt.

Speaker: Now, I think I've told you this before.

Speaker: So my dad told me years ago about a bloke who used to work on a building site with him who was...

Speaker: Probably didn't have the gift of the gab with the ladies and stuff like that, but always tried to impress the other blokes on the building site.

Speaker: Nice enough, but a bit, you know, not the smartest tool, as it were.

Speaker: And this bloke fell off a six-foot wall onto a load of bricks on his side.

Speaker: Now, you don't have to be six foot to know that's quite a way you don't fall well on bricks.

Speaker: do you yeah exactly i'm thinking it every time i tell a story and everyone to the point where the builders didn't laugh they're kind of like jesus christ are you all right and he obviously got things of it mixed up and getting up like this and he went it's all right pain never hurt no one it's just needed serious medical attention and also wants to try and swerve the ribbon that is going to get

Speaker: And my dad was like, I don't want to knock your bravery, but that's the definition of kind of what that is.

Speaker: So it's just like the fact that he said, pain don't hurt.

Speaker: I was like, but because I must admit, though, in these films as well, Dan, you remember the girl in the bar who's like very almost like what they say, brassy.

Speaker: You think, well, that's not the love interest.

Speaker: It's not going to be the barmaid.

Speaker: She doesn't really fit with it.

Speaker: So, yeah, I was like you.

Speaker: I thought, I can't see how this becomes it.

Speaker: Yeah, it just didn't seem to be sat in reality for me.

Speaker: Like you said, the Brassy one is going to be, and I'm sorry for using this phrase, but it was a phrase back in the day, tart with the heart, because she gets some beatings at some point, doesn't she?

Speaker: And then you've got like the...

Speaker: The waitress who is kind of like Murphy's sidekicking Robocop.

Speaker: She's too laddy and she's come round to pick him up so she's not the love interest.

Speaker: And also Kelly Lynch is absolutely flawless, 10 out of 10, stunningly beautiful as well.

Speaker: And you go, oh, that's why she's there.

Speaker: Yeah, fair.

Speaker: This is going to happen.

Speaker: Has she been in much else?

Speaker: Because I don't recognise her.

Speaker: You seem to know her as Kelly Lynch.

Speaker: No, she was in this and she was in another big movie, the 80s, which name escapes me.

Speaker: And while I vamp talking right now, I'm going to tell you what it is because it was in Cocktail with Tom Cruise.

Speaker: She was in that.

Speaker: famously the film that I was the only one I'd seen.

Speaker: I think I said very early doors in this with my cousin, Richard, where there was sex.

Speaker: What I thought was in a pond, but I think was in a lagoon.

Speaker: And we said something about it being very unhealthy because like, what the hell was in there?

Speaker: Um, what was she the main in that?

Speaker: Was she the main along with Chris?

Speaker: It's been like 30 years since I've watched it.

Speaker: She plays a character called Kerry Coghlan.

Speaker: So, uh, I assume so looking like she does.

Speaker: I mean, Christ, you know, if there, if there was anybody that is, you know,

Speaker: film star good looks it's her right you know what I mean yeah it's like that Daryl Hannah Bassenger kind of look as well isn't it exactly and then we meet coming on from here it doesn't really mention him before that but we meet I've got his name here is Wade Garrett and there's a bit where it says like Wade Garrett and he goes exactly right now this guy

Speaker: For those who are fans of the 80s, I really apologize because for me, he's a guy that I've seen in GIFs and memes quite a lot.

Speaker: I saw him in A Star Is Born.

Speaker: He's a gravelly-voiced guy who looks like a swashbuckling... Is it Sam... Elliot?

Speaker: No, yeah.

Speaker: Sam Phillips was the head of Sun Records with Elvis Presley.

Speaker: Sorry.

Speaker: Sam Elliot.

Speaker: So is Sam Elliot big news at this time?

Speaker: He looks more like a...

Speaker: kind of an action fighter in a way.

Speaker: It's weird because this is still 30 years before it became massively popular in the memes and the gifs and all the rest of it.

Speaker: And essentially he's the voice of 4x4 adverts, isn't he?

Speaker: You know what I mean?

Speaker: Like with that gold, down, rubble, gravel voice and...

Speaker: You want to go get some Marlborough Country cigarettes?

Speaker: I got them for you.

Speaker: You know what I mean?

Speaker: He's that type of guy.

Speaker: But he's already at this point playing the elder statesman, as it were, in terms of the cooler game.

Speaker: And Dalton needs to recruit him to help him out because these guys are down here.

Speaker: They don't know what's happening when I come to my bar.

Speaker: This is where I do need the visuals on this.

Speaker: I thought he was here for a sec, but did he also do like the Honda Power of Dreams advert?

Speaker: Shit like that.

Speaker: He sounds like that kind of like, this is a whole voice.

Speaker: Yeah, I'm with you.

Speaker: But I think he's, I actually say he's a better looking man than Swayze.

Speaker: Oh, he is.

Speaker: He's sexy, isn't he?

Speaker: And he's sexy as he's old now.

Speaker: He's just a sexy man.

Speaker: I'm gonna, we're gonna drive this thing to America and over some hills and all of a sudden I want a Ford F-150.

Speaker: Yeah, get me one and all.

Speaker: Have you ever thought about owning her?

Speaker: Yeah, I have.

Speaker: I don't care what it is.

Speaker: A George Foreman leg?

Speaker: What the fuck is it?

Speaker: I'll buy one.

Speaker: I don't care.

Speaker: Yeah, no, it's a solid voice, and it sounds like it's a... You know voices change, you get older, don't you?

Speaker: Mine's definitely become more through this from the night since far, but that's a voice that he's lived in straight away.

Speaker: You imagine he was eight years old going, I've done my geography teaching.

Speaker: Can I interest you in a hair sandwich?

Speaker: just to eat some hair you've brought back one of your nightmare shows that you said was an absolute chaos and you thought you were lost in reality and you've brought back hair sandwich now throwback good throwback from the uh from the uh the swing back so yeah this is where it all changes down around here because he meets him outside he's having that scrap bit um have you got one more clip is it to do with this bit outside or was that we clipped up

Speaker: No, we've never clipped up.

Speaker: Good.

Speaker: Sorry, I've got it because I've put a little quote here.

Speaker: Apologies about that.

Speaker: So, yeah, this is the bit here where I was losing interest.

Speaker: Now, I know I was trying to zoom a little bit by 20 seconds here and there and thinking, okay, that's going to be, could have done it with Rocky because it would have been montages, wouldn't it?

Speaker: What did we say?

Speaker: 39% montage in Rocky IV.

Speaker: 39% montage.

Speaker: And some of it, new material.

Speaker: yeah exactly uh this is the bit where this film i'm gonna go into i actually wrote wrote more notes on this because i'm almost going yeah get that yeah i get that so i've got fallout big barn fire river scrap wade dead car through a fence killing spree bear fear because that fat lad gets a bear landing on him home alone ending i'll come to this bit there's nothing to add to those bits is the dan

Speaker: There is just one scene that the riverside fight where he fights the right hand man of the bad guy and he holds him back here and he's got him and he goes, well, this is my move.

Speaker: And he rips out the man's throat right in front of his girlfriend, who still stays with him by the end of the movie and then throws him in the river like it.

Speaker: And he's just stood there going, well, he pulled the gun on me.

Speaker: So, you know, throat ripping.

Speaker: The only thing I could think of that is, again, in no way connected to what anyone thought in this film was that she was a fan of the 19th century Victorian.

Speaker: You've seen those things in films where they used to do operations and all people would watch them around.

Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker: She hadn't had much experience of the live anatomy and was like, oh, that's what an esophagus looks like when it's out.

Speaker: I think I'll stay with him.

Speaker: He might not get me a spleen.

Speaker: No, but you wouldn't, would you?

Speaker: It's like it just wouldn't fit with your ethics as a doctor.

Speaker: But you said about her as well, but she was connected to Red.

Speaker: And everyone likes Red in this film.

Speaker: He's just a poor son who's under the thumb, isn't he?

Speaker: So, you know, the old esophagus doesn't really affect a girl when Red's in such trouble.

Speaker: Yeah, the bear bit's fucking ridiculous with the taxidermy, isn't it?

Speaker: Because he gets away with it, that lad.

Speaker: Yeah, and he kind of, he survives, doesn't he, by the end of it.

Speaker: So you've got the bear bit, and he pushes the bear, and he's kind of like the comic relief, isn't he, this chubby fella.

Speaker: And then he's going, oh, there's a bear fall on me.

Speaker: And he's kind of screaming like the bear is alive, even though they're in the taxidermy room, and this bear has not moved one damn muscle, but he's going, ah, like that bit in Austin Powers where he's going, no!

Speaker: Yeah, it's going...

Speaker: Yeah, it does, because that's a fair size, but I don't know what they fill stuff with, but that bear would have fallen quicker.

Speaker: To be fair, Dan, I must admit, even if it was a taxidermid bear, I still would have thought, fuck me, this is going to smart.

Speaker: Yeah, but watch this, watch this, and I'm going to do it for the visual medium here, right?

Speaker: There's a bear coming at you, falling really slowly.

Speaker: Watch this.

Speaker: I'm going to play the character, the fat guy.

Speaker: Bear's falling.

Speaker: Yeah, do it.

Speaker: And I move to the side.

Speaker: Like, you know what I mean?

Speaker: I'll show you again.

Speaker: Do it another way.

Speaker: Well, bears falling.

Speaker: I think you still survived.

Speaker: You have to go pretty slow to... Yeah.

Speaker: Do you know what I mean?

Speaker: But as I was saying to you the night, when you've lost a bit of timber, you don't move as quick when you carry it.

Speaker: It must be that.

Speaker: It must be because I'm not as... I must be a bit more nimble on my feet than the big stag that got pinned by the polar bear.

Speaker: Because you have that classic as well, big man arse out where you're going, maybe they didn't do bigger sizes back then and Giacomo wasn't about, but my God, those are some clingy jeans.

Speaker: They're like...

Speaker: They're only halfway up his bloody body, aren't they, Paul?

Speaker: And he's gone for the old braces as well.

Speaker: The Home Alone ending that I've put here by all local kills is how there's a shot behind his back.

Speaker: It's red.

Speaker: Oh, fucking hell.

Speaker: Okay, so now we've got a conundrum.

Speaker: Bang, another shot.

Speaker: It's Emmett.

Speaker: And then some bloke, I must have fast forwarded him, some just very grey looking man who I didn't know who the fuck he was.

Speaker: He shot him as well.

Speaker: The guy with the red hair is, he's red, isn't he?

Speaker: And then the guy with the grey guy with the moustache is the one who owned the car lot where they ran the Bigfoot over all of his stock.

Speaker: Oh, I must have zoomed past it.

Speaker: There you go.

Speaker: Yeah, don't worry about that.

Speaker: I missed that.

Speaker: And then obviously the last one is, I have to keep looking up because I can never remember his name, Frank Tillman.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: We own this town.

Speaker: Yeah, and he comes out and he's like, yeah, what's his name?

Speaker: Brad.

Speaker: Brad Wesley is the bad guy, isn't he, right?

Speaker: And he goes for the big...

Speaker: slow-mo fall into the coffee table, which was a huge scene for like the next 10 years, which you see a lot of, you know, I've seen it in bad boys, just, just people dying in tables and you're like, yep.

Speaker: And then I think the actor whose name escapes me, it is Ben Gazzara.

Speaker: Like it's filmed really well because I think that's him falling into the, into the coffee table.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Look, you know, look, I believed it looked all right.

Speaker: And then, and then the coppers turn up, don't they?

Speaker: Anybody seen anything?

Speaker: But did you like the metaphor bit?

Speaker: The metaphor?

Speaker: What did I miss a metaphor in Roadhouse?

Speaker: It's actually really misplaced because of what the film is.

Speaker: There's a bit in the taxidermy where they cut to some monkeys and it's hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.

Speaker: They've got their hands and I went, oh, that's actually... Because you know, you switch parts of your head off for certain films.

Speaker: Like if you're watching something really cerebral, like Interstellar or something, you go, okay, right, okay.

Speaker: Or Christopher Nolan, you're going to... With this one, that's all gone in me.

Speaker: I'm just going, I'm watching it going, I wonder how many...

Speaker: Are them bottles there to buy that break on your head like that back in the day?

Speaker: Yeah, because they're quite delicate as well, aren't they, those props?

Speaker: Because I reckon, oh, they also ordered a glass coffee table made of the same stuff.

Speaker: Yeah, that's right.

Speaker: Because I was, honestly, Dan, my brain goes to that place.

Speaker: It's like when I went to watch a contemporary dance with my ex, and I was just watching, I got so bored, and I can normally find something in art forms.

Speaker: I was looking at the curtains going, what's it called when you make ropes?

Speaker: It's a ferrier or something.

Speaker: You know, you're just trying to go to another place and go, oh, it must have took ages to make that curtain material.

Speaker: So, yeah.

Speaker: Hang on, hang on, hang on.

Speaker: What is it called when you make roper?

Speaker: It's a roper.

Speaker: I thought it had like a name like splicing or something like that.

Speaker: Oh, do you know what?

Speaker: Because it's navy, it was done a lot that probably would be because there's things where you see a carpenter's got a different name on a ship and stuff like that.

Speaker: So it might do.

Speaker: I know.

Speaker: I think a ferrier is barrel shit like that.

Speaker: It's one of them, but I couldn't think of it in the theatre at the time.

Speaker: I've got it now.

Speaker: Welcome back.

Speaker: Yeah, but Navy again, maybe a wet connection.

Speaker: I don't know.

Speaker: The one thing I missed out really, really briefly, I'll come to it's Pat's in the river again at the end with the girl.

Speaker: It's almost like you are expecting the lift is earlier on just to add to other things.

Speaker: We mentioned quite a lot.

Speaker: There's a bit where he does Tai Chi and he's sweating.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: And I was going again.

Speaker: I wonder if it's the same people who go around just glisten spraying these action guys like Van Damme doing his splits and what is it?

Speaker: Stallone and Carl Weathers doing their spa.

Speaker: You see, you've mentioned this a few times, right?

Speaker: And in my head, the more I think about it, the more I listen back to this show and stuff like that.

Speaker: I think to myself, I wonder if, right, you know, like this is going to sound weird, but this is where my mind went.

Speaker: Alan Sugar was, yeah, that's, that's where I've started with this story.

Speaker: Alan Sugar started his Amstrad company.

Speaker: Based on, he knew that he had a deal with Sky that he was going to make the, you know what I mean?

Speaker: The boxes that received this guy.

Speaker: So is there a guy that made these spray bottles that had a deal with somebody at the studios?

Speaker: He goes, listen.

Speaker: I've got these spray bottles and I've got like a warehouse full of them.

Speaker: If you could buy a bit of stock, that'd be fucking mint.

Speaker: Hold on, mate.

Speaker: Do you mean like we put on our plants, spraying plants?

Speaker: No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker: That's like a jet.

Speaker: No, this is a mister.

Speaker: But what are we going to put in it?

Speaker: No, just water, maybe a bit of oil.

Speaker: So if you need to show that someone is profusely sweating, could I use it to fire at a cat to stop it going near my Christmas tree?

Speaker: We do have a bigger version for cat shooting, but you know what I mean?

Speaker: 10 mil.

Speaker: 10 mil.

Speaker: Done.

Speaker: You're hired, mate.

Speaker: You're hired, yeah.

Speaker: I love them getting a phone call halfway through Top Gun going, you need more?

Speaker: Yeah, it's not for the film, mate.

Speaker: I've got six cats.

Speaker: The wife's gone mad.

Speaker: She says that that cloves and orange peel ain't working and the tree's a fucking state.

Speaker: I can see it.

Speaker: But I can see B-Sky B and Sky Dishes going a little bit more down the line of where the future might be than potentially a spray bottle.

Speaker: But I'm completely with you, Dan.

Speaker: I do like to think of those things.

Speaker: Final bit, a bit more rock and the blues.

Speaker: And that's it.

Speaker: And then we end.

Speaker: And then we're at the point where, because we're doing it at the start, is there any bits of this post talking about it that you think are your little tidbits?

Speaker: Because we'll see if it works at the end, if not.

Speaker: I don't know.

Speaker: There's not really much to tell.

Speaker: Swayze had his dance training and that's why he could do the kicking.

Speaker: Not really any big names in it.

Speaker: I don't know why this was the end of the of Kelly Lynch's proper career.

Speaker: I don't know why it didn't go any further after this.

Speaker: I genuinely couldn't say it didn't really have much of a cultural impact.

Speaker: There's not really a lot of tropes in it that we haven't already discussed.

Speaker: It's just a movie about a bloke what does bounce him.

Speaker: a bit like a bloke who wants to go on all day and the government chased him.

Speaker: I mean, I've got, I've got the other bits and this, this one's the most interesting one, right?

Speaker: So it came out in 1989.

Speaker: It did 30 million at the box office for a budget of 15.

Speaker: But this is this is the really this is from Den of Geek.

Speaker: And it says, but like so many cult films of the era, it found new life on the small screen in 2020.

Speaker: Bear in mind, this is COVID times.

Speaker: In 2020, Roadhouse was named the most played movie on basic cable, beating Jumanji, Gladiator, Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, which plays second, third, fourth, respectively.

Speaker: None of those films make any sense being together.

Speaker: yeah what what list is this are people sat there during covid and gone i'm a bit bored let's stick on bumblebee tuna hold on you know what again jumanji yeah jumanji gladiator and ace ventura pet detective right so what's funny about that as a collection of films is you go all right jumanji so maybe that's escaping to another world animals i should watch after this a detective that's a pet oh animals that's good now what gladiator

Speaker: Now what?

Speaker: A bouncer.

Speaker: This is it.

Speaker: It kind of goes up, doesn't it?

Speaker: So you've got like, if you've got a couple of like teenage kids, you might chuck Ace Ventura on, right?

Speaker: Gladiator's an absolute masterpiece.

Speaker: Or you've got all the family and there's the new Jumanji movies.

Speaker: You all sat around, let's chuck Jumanji on.

Speaker: And then it smacks of kids have gone to bed now.

Speaker: Roadhouse.

Speaker: I need to see some fake glass bottles and some 80s boobs.

Speaker: Let's get Roadhouse on.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: So let's get to that stage where we're going.

Speaker: Those are all probably at least, especially the original Jumanji, and the new ones aren't as bad.

Speaker: A good eight.

Speaker: Sorry, Ross.

Speaker: I completely lost your audio there.

Speaker: Hang on.

Speaker: Just give me a second.

Speaker: That's good, wasn't it?

Speaker: And it gives a good edit point, doesn't it?

Speaker: That's good.

Speaker: Can we leave that in to show people the £5, £6, £7 that's being spent on the quality?

Speaker: £24, that cost me.

Speaker: I knew it was more.

Speaker: I didn't want to just feel embarrassed that you'd done so much good work.

Speaker: Yeah, I was going to say, they're all really solid films that are probably at least an eight above.

Speaker: I mean, again, Ace Venture pisses me off a little bit, but I know you like it.

Speaker: But this one, what are we giving it?

Speaker: We've got panels now.

Speaker: Yeah, we should have like a number.

Speaker: I should be able to ping them up at the bottom, shouldn't I?

Speaker: I'll get some graphics for next week.

Speaker: But that means you have to tell me beforehand that I can't be asking all that.

Speaker: So...

Speaker: I didn't like this movie at all.

Speaker: I can tell.

Speaker: There were some things in it that I found objectionable given the age that I watched it.

Speaker: So I'm 16 and I'm watching these sex scenes and the way that women were treated.

Speaker: And I didn't really understand it at the time, but it was a bit objectifying for me.

Speaker: And I know that sounds really nerdy and really prudy, but I just, there's a man getting his throat ripped out and I didn't really like that.

Speaker: And that kind of affected me.

Speaker: Hold on, before you go there, Dan, do you remember that?

Speaker: Did you watch League of Gentlemen?

Speaker: Yeah, it was League of Gentlemen, wasn't it?

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Do you remember those characters they play in the video shop?

Speaker: How many killings?

Speaker: Two killings.

Speaker: Now, because you've seen a lot of shit from Paul Barton that before, do you think there was an element of you going, not enough killings?

Speaker: How many shovedings in this?

Speaker: No, it's just, it wasn't, it was kind of like a romantic movie where people getting their head kicked in and I just found it, it wasn't a world that I was aware of.

Speaker: So, but I know it's got a big, yeah, in it, in it.

Speaker: But I was 16, this is before I went to the Tivoli.

Speaker: So there's just, there was a weird,

Speaker: there was a weird thing inside me that just didn't, something didn't sit right with me because I didn't understand how the American healthcare system worked.

Speaker: I didn't understand that you needed to drive everywhere.

Speaker: I didn't understand what a cooler was different to a bouncer.

Speaker: I didn't realize that these, these Hick bars existed where they have a tear up and that was kind of like,

Speaker: the highlight of the evening.

Speaker: It just didn't sit into reality for me when I first watched it.

Speaker: However, it's got a cultural impact, but I'm trying to just judge it on a movie.

Speaker: And for me, it's just a six.

Speaker: It's just a six.

Speaker: It's not shit, but you're like, oh, I've seen it.

Speaker: I know all the references now.

Speaker: I can now understand why Peter Griffin goes, roadhouse.

Speaker: So I'd argue, I'm not going to think of all of them that we've done,

Speaker: that even the ones that I've done not, you know, that's where the thing I knew before works quite well.

Speaker: Some of them, like I say, with a film I haven't seen, like something like Die Hard, you know of Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker, and you don't know what the context is in the film.

Speaker: My complete lack of things I knew before with this, I think highlights to me how maybe in the UK and various of this isn't culturally as relevant as potentially in the States, which I can get because of maybe the bars and the type of thing you get, you know,

Speaker: it's like when people from Grimsby come back and go, oh my God, I saw an American with some cowboy boots on when we went to Florida.

Speaker: It's kind of like a stereotype of what we have in the UK and sorry to offend anyone in the States for that.

Speaker: But, um,

Speaker: I'm not.

Speaker: You left us in 1776.

Speaker: You shouldn't have gone.

Speaker: But no, it's whatever it was.

Speaker: I thought I'd just do a bit of colonial there.

Speaker: I think it's been the first time it's happened in a while, Dan.

Speaker: I think I'm going below you.

Speaker: I think I'm going for a five.

Speaker: Because I was just... I could even be a four on a day.

Speaker: And it's not in the same way as the other ones got low.

Speaker: It's just it was very meh.

Speaker: There's nothing from it I think I can take anywhere other than I'm more interested in Sam Phillips than I was before.

Speaker: Swayze doesn't do anything to make me think he's anything other than what I saw as Johnny.

Speaker: And it's just like, yeah, it's like Dukes of Hazzard in a way, mixed with a bit of angst from a straight-to-video film from 1987.

Speaker: So do you know what?

Speaker: I'm going to go with four, Dan.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: And I'm not surprised that there just didn't seem to be anything I can put myself in.

Speaker: Like there's a really weird bit where he goes, Hey, have you seen my wife's boobs?

Speaker: Oh, for $20, you can kiss them.

Speaker: And then he starts touching them up.

Speaker: And then are you going to kiss them or what?

Speaker: I ain't got $20.

Speaker: Like that is not a conversation that happens in real life anywhere.

Speaker: Right?

Speaker: Surely.

Speaker: To be fair, could you tell me stories?

Speaker: I'm not asking for one now from your past where you go, I heard this in a bar once and we put it in a script for something and people go, that wouldn't happen, but it did.

Speaker: It could be that before we know the writer saw that waitress in or waitering in a, it sounds the kind of thing that probably would happen with some knobheads, but it brings it nowhere.

Speaker: You get it by that point, don't you?

Speaker: It's rough.

Speaker: We get it.

Speaker: And it also, it's slightly ironic to me that the last film I heard was someone saying about something for a dollar was also shit.

Speaker: There it is.

Speaker: American currency ruins movies, everybody.

Speaker: If you'd have only brought in the drachma or the yen.

Speaker: We'd have been, okay.

Speaker: So yeah, that's, do you know what?

Speaker: I really appreciate people putting forward the ideas.

Speaker: I think it was off Normie's list as well with what we went with that one.

Speaker: So can you understand, Normie loves Big Trouble in Little China, right?

Speaker: We had him on the show and he loves things like Robocop.

Speaker: it's for a type of person and I don't think we're them type of people.

Speaker: We weren't them type of kids.

Speaker: No, and I'm just looking through the list here because his first one was Roadhouse, his second one was Porky's.

Speaker: So... I'm a decent confused I've seen, Fast Times at Ridgemont Hut.

Speaker: Yeah, I kind of get where he's going with all of those.

Speaker: All of them ate his boobs.

Speaker: Everyone...

Speaker: absolutely so i'm thinking uh the next one dan i've got a bit of an idea for and i like it when we kind of links us to where we have to be with it i'm going to go for one with a leading man in it i don't believe unless there's a different leading man's the one that i know is quite famous for being in it um that we've not had before he is the son of a very famous actor from the 70s in america and it would be the lost boys okay with old keefer sutherland in there

Speaker: Okay, so interesting fact.

Speaker: I've still not.

Speaker: I've not seen this movie.

Speaker: Oh, it's a double.

Speaker: It's a double YNWT.

Speaker: I'm up for a bit of that.

Speaker: I know it's 80s.

Speaker: It's meant to be quite maybe violent.

Speaker: Again, I won't do my things I know before.

Speaker: But as always, guys, as you can see below here, I'll do it in the right order.

Speaker: This will be now on YouTube, I believe.

Speaker: We're going to go for the YouTube stuff more.

Speaker: Is that right, Dom?

Speaker: Yeah, let's do it.

Speaker: We're going to try and work out what Threads is, like all the rest of you.

Speaker: Try and work out what Twitter now means on your phone when you see an ex and you're still looking for the bird.

Speaker: Sure.

Speaker: I changed the logo.

Speaker: Did you see?

Speaker: I made it up to date.

Speaker: But I must admit, when my face scanned it, I went, where's the bird gone?

Speaker: All right, that's that thing.

Speaker: But yeah, as always, we're going to try and do this a bit more like this now as well, especially with other guests on.

Speaker: Try and do some, probably put some random shit behind us from films.

Speaker: We should try and build up stuff that's linked to.

Speaker: Got any ideas, Dan?

Speaker: I've got cool run-ins on this side.

Speaker: You've got cool run-ins and Benoit Blanc, by the looks of it, behind you there.

Speaker: I love it.

Speaker: I'll take that.

Speaker: No, but guys, thank you very much as always.

Speaker: Any content's great.

Speaker: We do love, you know, it's just a lot of our feed is people going, without naming this film, name a film with this person.

Speaker: I always just like to go for the film they've said.

Speaker: We've got to stop following them.

Speaker: But Dan, yeah, honestly, it's a bit like last week's one where we've gone, sometimes we go,

Speaker: Funny, funny, funny.

Speaker: I quite liked these ones where we just chat about, I'm going to blame the film if it wasn't funny because it was just banal.

Speaker: And at least you're now about a lap steal, hearing aid beige cars, and what was it in Rotherham, the club?

Speaker: Dog and Partridge.

Speaker: Oh, Tivoli.

Speaker: The Tivoli at Rotherham.

Speaker: Yeah, yeah.

Speaker: Scenarios.

Speaker: Anyway, we'll see you all next week.

Speaker: Thanks for listening and watching.
