Episode 6: Rambo v Man With No Name — Jungle Traps & Revolver Snaps
21 Plays1 month ago
Two legendary lone wolves. One hell of a matchup. It’s modern warfare versus old-school grit as John Rambo takes on Clint Eastwood’s iconic Man With No Name. We’re talkin’ booby traps, cigarillos, red bandanas, ponchos, and body counts that would make history textbooks weep.
We run the Tale of the Tape, dive deep into each fighter’s strengths, and ask the big questions: Could a revolver ever outpace a rocket launcher? Would a spaghetti western outlaw fall for jungle mind games?
Plus: keyboard carnage, fantasy memorabilia, shirtless glistening comparisons (don’t ask), and your hosts rank all 5 Rambo movies.
Strap in. It’s jungle warfare vs tumbleweed.

Speaker
This is the fictional fighting championship podcast, the ultimate battleground where Hollywood's deadliest warriors collide. We're taking 48 of the most ruthless, skilled, and battle-hardened fighters from movies and TV and throwing them into a no-holds-bar tournament to see who survives.
00:00:26
Speaker
You've seen in the movies, you know the legends. Now it's time to settle the score.
00:00:38
Speaker
ah you telling me that 200 men against your boy is a no-win situation for us? You send that money, don't forget one thing. What? A good supply of body bags. I'm Jordan Guerrero.
00:00:49
Speaker
I'm Christian Doherty. And I'm Steve Sadler. And this is the podcast about the greatest fictional tournament in the history of the universe. No exaggeration. Chris, let's jump right into it. Who do we have today?
00:01:01
Speaker
Today, we have a great one for you, everyone. It's a second round matchup between the rootin', the tootin', the gunslingin', man with no name from the Dollars Trilogy, Clint Eastwood, and making his FCC debut in the red corner.
00:01:21
Speaker
Red is for blood. Red is for his headband. John rambo From the Rambo franchise.
00:01:34
Speaker
This is week six, Chris, and you still got the name wrong. You said FCC. We're not from the FCC. Oh, God damn it. It's the FFC. that it's That's a typo.
00:01:47
Speaker
Yeah, there was a typo, Steve. You wrote that. Damn it i ah it. I'm like Ron Burgundy. Yeah. I'm Ron Burgundy. ah All right, guys. take it away Things are about to get nuts here.
00:02:02
Speaker
This is Rambo's first matchup. He had essentially a bye last time. So it'll be the first time talking about him, but we're familiar with man with no name. So before any research, now this is finally one I know that we had some definite opinions of years ago, even before we dreamt up this concept, who did you think was going to win this matchup without any research?
00:02:25
Speaker
ah For me, it was Rambo. I mean, Rambo is one of the people who started this podcast for us, I think. Yeah. Yeah. I had Rambo first right away too, without any research. So yeah, easy. Same for me, Rambo.
00:02:37
Speaker
He's just, you know, the classic juiced up, tough guy, gunslinger. Everyone knows who he is. I think most people would choose him over man with no name. Yeah. We're going to jump right into it. But first, if you're liking what you hear and you love Chris's British accent, give us a follow on Instagram, Facebook, even better hit us up on Spotify or Apple podcasts. So you never miss a show.
00:03:00
Speaker
And Hey, if you really love us, tell your friends, tell your coworkers, tell your boss, tell the lady who works at the grocery store, tell anyone that you meet on the street. We appreciate the follow. We won't judge. We'll just be grateful.
00:03:11
Speaker
Thanks everyone. Well said. Hey, let's do the tale of the tape. We'll start with Rambo. He debuted in 1982 in the movie First Blood, and he was portrayed by Sylvester Stallone.
00:03:23
Speaker
His fight stats are roughly 5'10", 185 to 190 pounds, and in his rookie season or his debut, he was 34 years old. He's fighting out of Bowie, Arizona.
00:03:35
Speaker
But by way of Hope, Washington, Vietnam, the Burmese jungle, and a handful of other exotic locations. a Signature move. Oh man. You name it.
00:03:46
Speaker
I think if you see Rambo, it's already too late. Yep. I don't think you're really going to see him based on all of the traps he's able to set. and He may be covered in mud. And the vibe check for this guy. Yeah, traumatized, brooding, and honestly, just walking death. Charisma, zero.
00:04:05
Speaker
Zero. Absolutely zero. Callback to Filthy Phil with the breakdown of all the different attributes made me think, you know, him talking about that made me think of definitely charisma is at an all-time low for Rambo.
00:04:19
Speaker
I know we're talking vibe check of Rambo, but real quick vibe check of the movies and the franchises. Huge thing for us right now. This is our first dive into the 80s. We are now in the golden age of action movies.
00:04:31
Speaker
Rewatching all these. God, just got so fucking hyped. These movies rock. Chris said it. I mean, or I don't even know which one of you clowns said this, but this, this is one of the characters that was kind of the kickoff, the initiation of this whole podcast, because this is what we had in mind when we, when we started it.
00:04:49
Speaker
So this is going to be a good one. I'm pumped up about it. And what better way to get pumped up than to do the kill count. and ba ba ba So what do you guys have? There were five Rambo movies and yeah, really no need to tee it up here. What do you think?
00:05:06
Speaker
Where does it stop? i mean, maybe say the first film could have been the one with the least kills because he didn't want to go around killing all the cops in the National Guard. And from there, it just skyrocketed.
00:05:17
Speaker
And then, you know Rambo four, I think was probably the most gruesome. I feel like he has to be, he has to have the highest kill count even more than Dexter. Give me a number, Chris. hundred and eighty 180. 180. So you yes, you think more than Dexter. Okay.
00:05:32
Speaker
All right, Chris, I think I'm going to beat you on this one. Reason is when I was rewatching Rambo two the other day, even though he didn't kill that many people in Rambo one, right? One of the things they say at the start of Rambo two is 59 confirmed kills.
00:05:46
Speaker
Boom. I did watch first blood the other day and it did talk about, yep. Starting off 60 off the bat. So with that, I'm going to put him over 200. I'm going to say 210 kills for Rambo. Okay.
00:05:58
Speaker
Excellent. The winner's Jordan. Damn it. Well done, sir. I want to walk you through this though. First blood, one kill. I don't even think he had a kill. That was a total accident. He fired a rock at a helicopter and this guy deliberately unbuckled his own seatbelt.
00:06:12
Speaker
The pilot was yelling at him. Don't do that. You're going to fall out. There was turbulence. Rambo throws a rock. The dude falls to his death. I don't even put that on Rambo. He deserved it. He was a dirty cop.
00:06:23
Speaker
All those guys were chumps. Here we go. Are you ready for this? Rambo, kill count, 552. Holy shit. Holy shit. Okay, hold on. how How many of those are on-screen kills versus implied kills?
00:06:37
Speaker
These are on-screen and implied kills. And like you said, we know for a fact, because they said this, 59 confirmed kills during the Vietnam War. That's insane. yeah Do you have a breakdown of kills per movie?
00:06:49
Speaker
Funny you should ask. First Blood, one. Rambo, First Blood Part 2, 75. All screen. 3, 115. all on screen rambow three one hundred and fifteen
00:07:01
Speaker
Rambo, which we're going to call Rambo four just because it makes more sense. 254. Okay. Glorious, glorious kills. It's got to be all that last scene with the 50 cal machine gun.
00:07:14
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. He just starts mowing them down. And yeah, it's just, it's unbelievable. And then Rambo last blood add another 46 onto that. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Current record holder. I thought we'd have some fun with that.
00:07:27
Speaker
He's definitely the record holder. I don't know if that could be beat. Tell the tape man with no name. We've seen him before, right? And we're going to talk a little bit about how we got here, but his debut is 1964. We talked about this. It's the oldest movie reference that we have. 1964 fistful of dollars and two more movies that followed right away portrayed by Clint Eastwood, his height, weight, age stats, about six to one 80.
00:07:51
Speaker
And he was in his mid thirties also. So similar age. His hometown or fighting out of, you know, lawless border towns of the Old West. Pretty typical there. And his signature move. What do you want to call it?
00:08:03
Speaker
That thin cigar is kind of clenched between his teeth. Lightning fast, quick draw, and a kill shot. One bullet, all it takes right to the head. Ace shooter. Vibe check. and He's kind of that old school cowboy, right? Cool, mysterious cowboy. Man of few words. Chill vibes.
00:08:19
Speaker
Chill vibes. And we know his kill count was about 35 or 40. Rambo does that before breakfast. how How exactly did he get here? Who do you have to beat? I mean, I know this isn't his first round. That's right. Yeah, we're going to talk about that. Let's break down let's break down Rambo first, and then we'll get the Clint character.
00:08:34
Speaker
Sounds good. Sounds good. Okay. Wait, do we need to take a break? Oh, shit. I think it's time. Who's keeping the lights on around here? Let's hear it. Now for a word from our sponsor.

Speaker
Beautiful. Thank you to our sponsors. I'll see you in Valhalla. Thor Beard Balm.
00:09:40
Speaker
All right, guys, let's break down John Rambo. First thing we always talk about is the battle resume. And I think I have a good way to start that because none other than Colonel Sam Troutman actually talks a little bit about his battle resume. Man, Troutman is such a legend.
00:09:57
Speaker
You don't seem to want to accept the fact that you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare. With a man who's the best. With guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain.
00:10:09
Speaker
Ignore weather. To live off the land. To eat things that make a billy goat puke. In Vietnam, his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill.
00:10:21
Speaker
Period. Win by attrition. Well, Rambo was the best. That's a pretty good kickoff to the resume right there. King badass. I love that he would eat eat things that would make a billy goat puke.
00:10:33
Speaker
I love that Troutman has his back the first three movies, and I was upset that he didn't appear in Rambo 4. You know, is it is it safe to say that of all the Rambo movies, I mean, Colonel Troutman is the second most crucial character in the entire franchise, even though I think he was only in three them. He personally saved Rambo's ass on all three of those movies.
00:10:54
Speaker
But he also provided kind of a charismatic voice because it certainly wasn't coming from Rambo. That's for sure. The only one capable of politics around Rambo. Yeah. but So let's talk about this battle resume. actually We actually have a list of things here. We know his resume because they've read it off over the movies.
00:11:10
Speaker
Green Beret in the U.S. Army, Special Forces, Specialization Light Weapons, Cross-trained as a Medic, Helicopter and Language Qualified, Two Silver Stars, Four Bronze, Four Purple Hearts, Distinguished Service Cross, and the Congressional Medal of Honor.
00:11:28
Speaker
That's pretty decorated. Now we know the character time period, the movie was in 1982 to start, and that was about in real time. So that was about the same time period. So those was early 80s when that was going on.
00:11:40
Speaker
little bit of a history lesson for Chris and I there, you know, not having lived through the 80s. You see Rambo walking around and him just being shit on as a veteran. That kind of caught me off guard the first time I saw the movie in high school or something. I had no idea at the time that was an actual sentiment that was pretty common back then.
00:11:56
Speaker
Yeah, going off of that, his sort of monologue at the end of Rambo First Blood, the very first film, was honestly, ah like, that was the most charismatic of it I've seen Rambo in any, ah across any of the films. And he, I feel like that was Oscar worthy, almost the way he got so emotional about it. And yeah, it was, it was definitely in like an ode to those Vietnam War vets that were mistreated. And it highlights, really highlights that, I think I thought that was emotional.
00:12:22
Speaker
And that was at the beginning of the character, the introduction of the character, which was based on a book called First Blood about about this troubled, haunted Vietnam vet who came back. He fought for his country. He comes back.
00:12:33
Speaker
He's got PTSD. He's not well-received. People didn't want to be in that war. They blamed the the soldiers and things like that. So, yeah, that was kind of a real thing. ah Let's talk about his background, his training, and and things like that. Did you guys ah pick up anything?
00:12:49
Speaker
I think obvious about this missed the part where Murdoch was talking about all of those different skills and things on his resume. And when he started to drive the helicopter in first blood part two, I was like, holy shit, this guy can do it all.
00:13:05
Speaker
He's just mowing guys down with the helicopter machine guns doing loop de loops. And so definitely the back, you know, the background training, not only does he have, You know, the hand to hand, the gun archery as well, bow and arrow is like one of the coolest weapons to see him ah use.
00:13:21
Speaker
And, ah you know, I think it's for me personally, it's my favorite of his weapons. Of his preferred weapons, I'm going to have to say the the bow is my favorite by far. And it's pretty funny when we talk about his background and training.
00:13:33
Speaker
All of it is military that we see on here. And I don't know what they're doing these days, but is there Robin Hood school that someone has to go to to learn how to pull that shit off with a bow and arrow?
00:13:44
Speaker
That's just pretty badass. That got me super hyped. I got super up super into archery during COVID and I was shooting my compound bow every day out there and then seeing Rambo pull that shit off in the movies.
00:13:55
Speaker
That man is a goddamn expert. Thank God that stuff you didn't see this movie, any of these movies during COVID or before you got that arch reset because you would have been trying to fire off some explosive tips.
00:14:06
Speaker
I would have taken out the whole back acre. But yeah, no. Yeah, you said you have to read it between the lines. That's exactly right. He's got tons of hand-to-hand combat training too. And we don't know what martial arts they are, but we do know that there are martial arts involved. Close quarters combat techniques, survival skills, yeah you know, are a plus for him.
00:14:26
Speaker
And a lot of tactical expertise. So absolutely outstanding. And if we're talking preferred weapons, we can't forget about the Rambo knife. i think he and I don't know if he invented this knife, but I know that after these movies, the Rambo knife became a thing and people wanted the Rambo knife.
00:14:44
Speaker
did Did you want a Rambo knife in 1982 after seeing that movie? ah No, not really. But I could understand why someone would want one. You got the compass, you got the little survival stuff inside. yeah It's pretty badass. yeah Actually a totally piece of shit knife. You should never buy one like that. Get a full tang blade, much stronger, better baton and capability, but I got to give it to the Rambo knife.
00:15:07
Speaker
Jordan is a resident weapons expert. If you listeners didn't figure it out already, who did Rambo fight against? Everyone in the entire world. Everyone. Small town cops.
00:15:20
Speaker
Vietnamese soldiers. Cartel. Mexican cartel. Afghan soldiers. Afghani soldiers. Burmese soldiers. Soviet army. yeah His own inner demons.
00:15:31
Speaker
Murdoch.
00:15:39
Speaker
Guys, you know what we got to do right now? We got to run the gauntlet on Rambo. Let's go. Keyboard carnage. Chris, do you have the script? Because this one will sound great. I feel like this sounds in your voice sound better because it's an American movie. I feel like it would sound better in an American accent. but I don't think right on this. Go for it, Chris. In the American accent? oh No, no, no. No.
00:16:00
Speaker
to know
00:16:04
Speaker
He is not man, but myth made of flesh, carved from vengeance, soaked in sorrow and glistening with the dew of perpetual combat. In every sinew, a story.
00:16:16
Speaker
In every scar, a sermon. Rambo does not bleed. He testifies.
00:16:24
Speaker
Badass. Beautiful. That's from a user. Anyone else have one for that keyboard carnage? I was looking through, ah you know, the best scenes from all of the Rambo movies. i think I came across one that was from Rambo four. I love looking through the comments sections on social media, just because the internet, as we've said before, is undefeated. That collective comedic voice coming from the entire world. Uh, one user, it's a scene from Rambo four. He's just absolutely destroying everybody, blood flying everywhere.
00:16:56
Speaker
limbs flying everywhere. I'm scrolling down through the comments and this person said, and to think, All of this could have been avoided if that cop had just let him get something to eat.
00:17:06
Speaker
Yeah. I noticed something too in in that same scenario. Rambo says, you got any place to eat? Instead of taking him into town, he says, yeah, there's a little diner about 30 miles up the road.
00:17:19
Speaker
30 miles? That guy was such a jabroni. Teasel. Teasel. That was Will Teasel. played but hey that was that was Big Tom Callahan. Holy shnikes. Holy shnikes. From ah Tommy Boy?
00:17:31
Speaker
awesome. Yeah, yeah. yeah he that guy That guy doesn't realize what he set in motion. he just created he I think, yeah, he single-handedly created the world's best killing machine.
00:17:43
Speaker
Okay, this is this is the first one, like you said, in the 80s. This is what this category is all about. They've gone too far. What comes to mind besides the entire franchise?
00:17:54
Speaker
They went too far with the kills. So, all right, I'll throw this one out there. This this one was from the second movie. So Rambo and the POWs are escaping in that helicopter. Big Soviet attack helicopter firing at them, chasing behind him.
00:18:06
Speaker
Rambo's helicopter crashes down into a river. Rambo's fucked at this point. Soviet helicopter pointed right at him, about to shoot missiles and destroy him. Rambo is just sitting there.
00:18:18
Speaker
And instead of being obliterated like he obviously should have, just fucking pops out, pulls out an RPG or something and blows the thing up. Rambo should have been cooked there. They went too far. Okay.
00:18:30
Speaker
Fair. I don't even know if that's top 10. They've gone too far. i don't know, man. It's Rambo. How about in the first one? He was cornered. He was on a cliff. He jumped off a cliff. It looked like it was 50 stories high and he made it because he broke his fall by just falling through a tree. i thought the same thing when I watched it He also ah is one of two people in this tournament who have ripped out a man's throat with his bare hands. I didn't know there was a second person in the tournament who did that.
00:18:56
Speaker
oh No spoilers, but yeah. Jordan, do we want to talk about this scene here when he got stabbed through... Oh, yeah. OK, we're talking Rambo three.
00:19:07
Speaker
So in classic Rambo three fashion, and every movie is little different. Rambo three is the most fucking out there action hero movie one yet. This guy pulls the bullet out of the cartridge, dumps the gunpowder into his open wound and then lights it through and through to cauterize the wound.
00:19:25
Speaker
It was the most bad ass medical shit that I've ever seen on cinema. It was the coolest thing ever. Unbelievable. And and i like the the the effects were great.
00:19:36
Speaker
He lit that thing on fire, but you could see the flame went out both sides. Yeah, it blew out. You could see the hole right through him. It was sick. Unbelievable. I would never do that. Way too much of a pussy.
00:19:47
Speaker
I can't imagine anything worse. Not not only am I stabbed, now I've got an explosion inside of me. Yeah. He didn't even pass out. He just shook it off. All right. For your collection.
00:19:58
Speaker
Now, this is good. This is ah one um one of my favorite iconic movies. So I have one in mind that I think I'd want. But what do what do you guys think? right. I'll steal the obvious one right now.
00:20:10
Speaker
You got to have the headband. The most quintessential Rambo piece of clothing right there. You put that on. Everyone knows you're Rambo. It could be Halloween. You're shirtless. You've got the headband on. That guy's probably Rambo.
00:20:23
Speaker
Yeah, that was mine too. You got to have the red headband. Is it red because it was dyed red? Or is it red from the blood? Yeah. It's a metaphor. Started as a white headband. Exactly.
00:20:38
Speaker
What'd you have, Chris? Did you have that? thinking headband. Yeah, honestly. Yeah. okay I mean, yeah. Is a bowie knife different to a Rambo knife? ah Can you call them the same thing? Yeah. No one's going fight. I mean, the knife would look really cool to so up on the mantle.
00:20:50
Speaker
That'd be badass. Badass. All right. Speaking of badass, yippee-ki-yay motherfucker. We're in the eighties guys. You know, there's some lines that you like to recite. What are some favorites?
00:21:01
Speaker
I'll take a stab Rambo three. I think this was 1987. Got great. Great one liners here. So at this point, Rambo's down in the fucking caves and he just kills this guy and picks up his radio.
00:21:14
Speaker
And on on the other end is the Soviet helicopter pilot. He says into it, who are you? Rambo just grimaces into the radio and goes, your worst nightmare. ah Hell of a one liner.
00:21:26
Speaker
Nice, nice, nice. That's great. Here's one that I like. um Keeping in mind that in number four and five, he wasn't such a superhero as much as just a grizzled badass. So the lines were a little more realistic. They weren't as comedic.
00:21:41
Speaker
But this was this one was pretty pretty solid right here.
00:21:47
Speaker
And there isn't one of us that doesn't want to be someplace else. But this is what we do. who we are
00:21:58
Speaker
Live for nothing or die something. Solid. Live for nothing or die for something. That was from what? Rambo 4? Yeah.
00:22:09
Speaker
I feel like he doesn't say much, yeah but when he says it, it's it's emotional. He says it with feeling and he means it. Yeah. And there's another one that I'll do here from number five.
00:22:19
Speaker
This was just badass.
00:22:23
Speaker
I want revenge. I want them to know that death is coming and there's nothing they can do to stop it.
00:22:35
Speaker
Absolutely savage. The grizzled voice and just the delivery is, is, is good. yeah I have one to survive war. You got to become war.
00:22:46
Speaker
That's a great one. Oh man. That's a great one. All right. Six degrees of Steve. You had to do one for Rambo, your favorite. Have to do one for Rambo. Okay. John Rambo was played by Sylvester Stallone.
00:22:59
Speaker
He starred alongside Jason Statham in The Expendables. Jason Statham faced off with Dwayne The Rock Johnson in Fast and Furious. Hobbs and Shaw.
00:23:11
Speaker
The Rock starred in Walking Tall with Johnny Knoxville. Johnny Knoxville appeared in the series The Studio, which is a great series, by the way. Check that out. Just watched it.
00:23:23
Speaker
And he was in the studio with Ike Barinholtz. Ike Barinholtz was in White House Plumbers with me.
00:23:32
Speaker
We had to bring it back for Rambo because we didn't have we didn't have Six Degrees of Steve, and there's a lot of people that are really upset about it. We got more DMs about that than any other topic we've ever had that they want Six Degrees of Steve brought back. So we're going to bring it back for this one.
00:23:47
Speaker
Hey, Steve, i know we've all got a t-shirt for our favorite person in the tournament. I'm looking over at your video feed right there. Is that a Rambo t-shirt I'm seeing? It is. Check out my Rambo shirt. All right.
00:23:58
Speaker
Did we pick the right character for this actor? I mean, of course, 550 kills. You're not putting Rocky in here. No. Rocky's killed zero people.
00:24:26
Speaker
All right. We don't want to talk about Rambo the whole time. We got to keep it moving here. Let's talk about the other competitor, man with no name, played by Clint Eastwood. He already won. We're already familiar with him. He beat Jax Teller in episode three.
00:24:39
Speaker
It was a fun episode because we all kind of changed our minds. We all had one impression going in and changed our minds coming out. So that was awesome. And so how did he win?
00:24:49
Speaker
What was the biggest factor in him actually defeating and killing Jax Teller? I mean, his hand to hand was okay. He was absolutely superhuman with his pistol. that That's really what sealed the deal. And then I think another thing you have to give to him is his his strategic value, the way he can pit people against each other and assess the situation.
00:25:08
Speaker
Strong contender. The fact that he does something extremely well, while Jax didn't really do anything in particular well at all. And yeah, de certainly the his ability to trick people, his ability to yeah pit people against each other.
00:25:24
Speaker
Even more so than strategy, I think what he is is a master manipulator, which I think is going to really come in handy. Yeah, I do feel like he is a lot more intelligent than Rambo. Possibly, although we've learned Rambo can fly a helicopter. He can speak different languages. Okay, okay. defend it Defending Rambo.
00:25:40
Speaker
I see where this is going. We already know your pick. But there's no... No, you don't. No, you don't, Mr. T-shirt. But listen... judges The judges are paid off here.
00:25:54
Speaker
We made the rules, but man with no name though. ah Nobody can, can deny absolute elite level top two or three top 1% in this tournament. Basically elite level accuracy and quick draw.
00:26:08
Speaker
That's his strength to be Jax Teller. That's going to be his strength to beat Rambo. One point I wanted to make interesting Rambo great with a bow and arrow bow and arrow against the six shooter, the classic, you know, native American versus cowboy. Yeah.
00:26:22
Speaker
Cool. Cool matchup. Yeah. That's a cool matchup. And we learned that Rambo is part German and part Native American. Was that also in Rambo too? I think that was at the end there. It was Rambo too. It was, it was a number two. And then, and then Murdoch, when he reads that, Oh, part German and part Native American.
00:26:38
Speaker
I don't know what he's even talking about, but he goes, wow, that's quite a combination. Like, like almost like he was getting aggressive about it. I don't even know what it means. but Murdoch racist as fuck. could Could be a a World War II taking on each other, right? We got Germans versus, you know, Navajo code talkers, something like that. Yeah, yeah. Nice, nice. Great history. right ah Hey, well, let's not let's let's not flip back over to Rambo territory. We got talk about Mammoth's no name. Who's a formidable character character and contender here?
00:27:08
Speaker
and There is one thing that I wanted to talk about. um You kind of touched on it a little bit, and this is going to definitely be crucial in this matchup. And I don't know that we talked about it too much when he fought against Jax, but the man with no name is absolutely at playing chess when everyone else is playing checkers.
00:27:24
Speaker
He waits, he watches, he strikes with perfect timing. A lot of times he'll let the enemies make the first move. In fact, most of the time he'll let his enemies make the first move and then he exploits their mistake.
00:27:35
Speaker
Rambo, we know how lethal he is, but I would not ever call him subtle or surgical. And that could be an advantage in favor of the Clint character right there.
00:27:45
Speaker
Definitely like man with no name seems to be, you know, if you're comparing this to like the UFC or something, he's a counter striker. And so. Yeah, like you said, he waits for them to make their move.
00:27:56
Speaker
you know, if they're coming in with a punch, he's ducking it and he's ready to you know follow it up and and get that hit them back. I do think Rambo is like drawn into his fights.
00:28:07
Speaker
And so you could definitely see ah him being goaded by the man with no name. and And I would say man with no names game, that's perfect. Counter puncher is a perfect description. But there's a couple different kinds.
00:28:19
Speaker
There's Chuck Liddell type who takes a punch to give a punch, right? A counter striker that way. And then there's Anderson Silva who makes you whiff at a punch and then he and then he lays one on you and knocks you out. That's the Clint Eastwood type, right? Or the yeah man with no name type. The guy who doesn't get touched and then you're gone. You're dead. Yep.
00:28:40
Speaker
So that's pretty cool. He's going to have dodge a lot of bullets though. Yes, he will. So a question for you guys. We're talking about man with no name here. At what age can we take him? Classic category here.
00:28:51
Speaker
You know, you can take him as a newborn. You know, he'd kick our butts in his prime. What age? Chris, I'll start with you. Do you think you could take man with no name? You know, if he grew up in in the early eighteen hundreds and he, you know, seems like if he got into that lifestyle, he probably got in pretty early because of his parents or whatever. And he was probably pretty tough as ah as a teenager living out in the American West, having to survive.
00:29:15
Speaker
Native Americans around, you know, people who come around looting, civil war happening, at least when he's older. ah There's a lot going on. So, yeah, I want to say about 12 years old.
00:29:26
Speaker
Okay, that's a number. Okay. Steve, how about you? ah Yeah, he's probably shooting guns at a very young age, so I definitely would have to catch him before he gets too proficient proficient with weapons. It's also crazy because last week I think I said that Dexter would have to be like five or years uh for me to want to take him but i'm gonna say with no name do you think mean i guess maybe he was called the boy with no name at that time but i'm gonna say nine years old i think i could take him at he's a nine-year-old yeah it's so funny to think about us as grown men fighting fighting nine-year-olds and and getting beat yeah
00:30:03
Speaker
So, yeah I mean, Steve, I'm with you. I think that, you know, I mean, honestly, you see him in the show. He's he's not that muscular with no weapons. Maybe I could take him at 18 or something like that at the most. But with a weapon. Yeah, I'm talking age nine here.
00:30:17
Speaker
This guy's an absolute sharpshooter. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Speaking of without weapons, ah one of our new gauntlet categories, Hell in a Cell, who would win this battle if they were in a WWE style cage, nobody in, nobody out, no weapons, hand to hand combat.
00:30:31
Speaker
This is a ridiculous category for these two. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to say how many times, you know, cause these, some of these are close battles. So we're going to say how many times out of 10 would a man with no name be a zero.
00:30:43
Speaker
It's zero every time. Yeah. Yep. I feel bad for him. they're going in that c It's just like, i'd I'd have to look away. Yeah. Yeah. Rambo's got way too much hand to hand combat on his resume. I mean, my God, way too many muscles.
00:30:56
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. He's stronger. He's bigger. He's faster. He's brutal. Zero out of 10 times. I'm sorry for this iconic character, but he will not be Rambo in a confined space. You know, speaking of stronger and bigger, we went over their stats at at the get-go.
00:31:09
Speaker
Those two are the same weight. They're both about 180 pounds. You see, you see what Rambo does with 180 pounds versus what Clint Eastwood does with 180 pounds. yeah I think I know who's taking this one. Yeah. All right. Anybody want to jump on the casting couch?
00:31:25
Speaker
they responded alllan and oh let hey let me explain yeah it's just got real weird this this is the segment where we ask could this character played by clint eastwood have played the other guy's role so could could clint eastwood have played rambo it makes me picture clint eastwood with that long mullet and it just would it would that looks so weird and a bandana Yeah, there's there's not a chance. I mean, Clint Eastwood, I feel a lot of his character is his vibe, his grizzledness, his looks he gives, his charisma.
00:31:59
Speaker
Rambo has none of that. He's just an absolute savage with zero social skills. So that one's not going to play out at all. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I think he can do the strong silent type. Clint can do that one, right? um He could probably even do the part where he has demons in his head, but there is absolutely no way he could play Rambo like a war veteran type thing unless it was a different era and he just couldn't do the physicality part either.
00:32:23
Speaker
There's no way. Here's a new one that I like. we're going to We added this to the back end of the gauntlet 2.0. Ideal tag partner. If Man With No Name was in an 80s WWF, WWE tag team, who would it be?
00:32:39
Speaker
And what we're trying to do is get somebody as a tag team partner who is either in this tournament or doesn't have to be in this tournament, but some type of maybe an action star type of character that could go with him.
00:32:52
Speaker
Okay, I've got one another action character. You know who he reminds me of Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black. You could get Will Smith from Men in Black. His character teamed up with man with no name.
00:33:05
Speaker
I feel like those two would have great charisma, good vibes together. So you got Will Smith's character as the tag partner. Okay, okay. Yep, Will Smith's character, but because I feel like he's the Tommy Lee Jones of that classic duo.
00:33:17
Speaker
The old opposites of the track. That's great choice. You know what? I'm not going to put you on the spot right now, but you know what we also got to do for this category? We'll come up with the the tag team and then ah an 80s wrestling style name also.
00:33:29
Speaker
So you don't have to, you can think about it now if you want, or we can table it. But from now on, that's we're doing. Team name or it's the name for Clint? ah A team name. Like the Rock and Roll Express or, you know, the Road Warriors, one of those types of things.
00:33:42
Speaker
I got a tag team partner for him. Let me hear it. I think a John Wayne character would be perfect. Okay. I don't know many John Wayne movies. It's one of my dad's favorites though. So I have seen a lot of them. So I had to Google this to see which character might be the best, but apparently the most ruthless one is his name is Ethan Edwards from a movie called the searchers like back in the fifties.
00:34:03
Speaker
So I think that's the pick for him for the tag team and kind of a, he's kind of one of these ruthless former Confederate soldier types. Who's more of a straight up villain. So this would maybe be a bad guy type team.
00:34:15
Speaker
And I got a name also, Mammoth no name. And what's his name? Ethan Edwards called Tombstone Justice. They walk out there in their cowboy guard, their vests and their hats and everything. I like that one.
00:34:35
Speaker
All right, let's move to segment three here. The more we talk, we kind of laid the foundation. The more we talk, we got to drill down and see who's going to win this thing. So let's talk about maybe toughest opponents these guys have faced, maybe favorite moments or signature scenes that that you guys think of.
00:34:49
Speaker
All right, starting off with Rambo toughest opponent. I'm going go Rambo three, the giant Russian Korov. This is the first time that you see Rambo getting thrown around like a rag doll. Rambo is always the biggest, baddest ass person around, and he's getting thrown around like a stuffed animal.
00:35:05
Speaker
So when he does that spinning kick, puts the noose around his neck, pulls the pin on his grenade, and then he blows up hanging from that rope down in that cave. How fucking cool is that? Amazing.
00:35:15
Speaker
Amazing. There is a scene that I don't know that we talked about in episode three from Mammoth No Name that I want to bring up. I think maybe we talked about the scene, but I don't think we finished it. so But it does demonstrate his elite skills and why nobody should underestimate this guy.
00:35:32
Speaker
We know his accuracy is insane. In this scene, he shot a dude. Guy falls backwards. He falls into a hole that's already dug. Like grave ah grave ah hole. call it a grave hole? What do you call it?
00:35:46
Speaker
Shallow grave. Shallow grave. Okay. So he falls in, right? As he's falling, of course, the hat falls off. So Clint, he's like 100 feet away. He fires another shot and he hits the hat and he knocks the hat down into that grave too. two So that's in there. And then for good measure measure, he fires one more shot. He pings the guy's pistol that's laying there on the ground and that gets knocked into the same hole too. So...
00:36:10
Speaker
Not only a great scene, but it's about as efficient as you can possibly get when you're killing with ah you know as a sharpshooter. Absolutely trolling the guy. Completely unnecessary. He killed him. He could have walked over and kicked it in.
00:36:22
Speaker
All right, tell me this. Am I jumping the gun? At some point, we got to talk about this. Don't get into it too much, but ranking. We got five Rambo movies. What are your favorites? What's your ranking and why?
00:36:33
Speaker
Okay. All right, I'll jump into this. Number one Rambo movie, Rambo 4, 2008. It's brutal. It's badass. It's the most violent one yet. He's got depth to his character. It's really cool.
00:36:44
Speaker
Number two, Rambo 1. Really classic movie. Great story. Rambo two gritty James Cameron actually helped write the screenplay. There was kind of a hoagie love interest in that one, but that was also a badass movie.
00:36:56
Speaker
Next up is Rambo three. I know it's low on the list, but it's still one of my favorite movies. It's the most ridiculous one. He's a totally superhuman action hero, and I still love it. And last is Rambo five.
00:37:07
Speaker
That movie fucking sucks. It's like Indiana Jones and that one with the crystal skulls and the aliens. It's the movie that should not have been made. Rambo four ended fantastically and we're all worse for having Rambo five exist.
00:37:20
Speaker
Wow. That's bold. That is bold. We were close. My favorite is Rambo four. called Rambo. Then First Blood. And then I think there's a kind of a dotted line there because now we have something else happening here.
00:37:33
Speaker
Rambo First Blood Part 2 is next for me because this is the one that introduced Rambo as the killing machine, as the warrior. Then i have Rambo Last Blood. It's a little bit of a, it feels a little racist to me, like the whole movie, because he doesn't ever refer to this as, oh, don't go into that town. Don't go into that village. Don't mess with the cartel. It's always, it's just Mexico.
00:37:55
Speaker
So he's you know, it's like just one big blanket statement for him. But the killing in this movie is absolutely phenomenal. This guy is the Van Gogh of violence.
00:38:07
Speaker
He's the Da Vinci of death. Unbelievable. And then the, my, for me, the worst one is Rambo three, because it just seems like a bunch of action scenes. It's, it's like a car chase the entire time. Almost for me. That's fair. Yep.
00:38:21
Speaker
If I, yeah, if I had to pick, I'm very close to the, both of you Rambo four, Rambo one, Rambo two, and then yeah, Rambo three goes at the end. So I think I'm the same as Steve.
00:38:34
Speaker
It's Rambo 4. It's interesting that we all have that as our favorite. And to me, the reason it's my favorite, see if you guys will will agree with this, is one was more of a story, right? It's based on the book. It's more of a story about a struggling guy.
00:38:47
Speaker
Two and three, though, he became a superhero. It's like you knew he was invincible at that time. But four comes around, and all of a sudden, he's got weaknesses again. He seems more of a real human being.
00:39:00
Speaker
And the killing, as graphic as it is, just seems more realistic than in 2 and 3 to me. And it's fucking graphic, man. 2008, the camera work is better. The the effect, the special effects are better.
00:39:15
Speaker
I expected Rambo 1 to end up in Vietnam somehow. I didn't really know much about it. watching rambo one i didn't realize the whole thing was based in in the u.s rambo two is just much more of what you expect and you know seeing him go do his thing yeah is is cool history repeats itself that's the great thing about rambo one we like to keep our episodes topical and that's why we brought on a guy whose job is to fight the national guard here we are in 2025 yeah somebody get rambo to california
00:39:50
Speaker
Timely. ah Speaking of Rambo 4, there's a great moment in there. And this is one reason why I like it. Like he's a one man army in most of the the movies, right? He doesn't team up with anybody. He's a lone wolf.
00:40:01
Speaker
In Rambo 4, we see a couple of different things. One, whether he wants to or not, he ends up kind of on a team, right? These mercenaries hire him to to go over there. He's the boat man. So that's a little bit different too, where he's got a team. And number two, he's certainly not the leader of that team.
00:40:16
Speaker
They don't even want him. Remember? First, these mercenaries are like, ah you know, they treat Rambo like one of the, just some random old dude, you know, down at the park. you go You ever play pickup basketball? You go down there, you got a couple guys, and then you end up getting teamed up with some other people, right?
00:40:30
Speaker
ah You already got your squad. You don't need grandpa's sweatpants in there dragging down your fast break. But then the game starts, and it turns out that old man is fucking Uncle Drew. Woody Harrelson. And he's canon threes. Woody Harrelson from Lightning Count Joe. Yeah. Totally.
00:40:48
Speaker
Yeah, dropping 30 and he's fucking blowing people up. It's amazing. But I do love that part of it where it's it's like he's not just the badass dude walking in with pyro and everybody knows he's you know the tough guy on the block.
00:41:01
Speaker
I wanted to talk about a favorite moment, signature scene. Rambo five, ah the guys are hunting him through his tunnels, which maybe that's going back to the gauntlet. They went too far. Apparently he dug all these tunnels under his land by himself.
00:41:16
Speaker
We don't know why. He just was bored, I guess. But call back to Rambo one. And, you know, him setting his traps, the guys are hunting him through his tunnels and that classic spiked bamboo like swing thing that like triggers and once the guy trips it and stabs him right in the chest.
00:41:35
Speaker
ah Really cool. Call back to number one and just like an ode to his his his tricks and his trap setting. You won't be surprised to hear that he was influenced by Home Alone.
00:41:46
Speaker
That's great. Oh my God. All right. Jump in the gun. What a team up that would be. Macaulay Culkin and Sylvester Stallone. Rambo Six. Defend the nursing home. Yeah, yeah.
00:42:00
Speaker
That's great. How old would Macaulay Culkin have to be before you could take him? How old is he in Home Alone? that two Two grown men couldn't take him in Home Alone. so That's true.
00:42:14
Speaker
They were both kind of dumb though.
00:42:23
Speaker
Let's talk about man with no name though, because he does have a chance here. Let's talk about what makes him dangerous in this tournament and specifically against Rambo. What comes to mind for you guys? We know it's quick draw, right? Quick draw and his intelligence. And I think this like plays into his path to victory is just,
00:42:40
Speaker
him being able to outsmart Rambo. You know, it seems Rambo can fall into traps. He can get caught. ah You know, he was caught by the Russians. He's been tortured before. You know, he's been chased by the National Guard, trapped in a mine.
00:42:53
Speaker
So, you know, I think there is a way for the man with no name to outsmart him and and trick him. You could see him making Rambo mad and Rambo being like, me, Rambo mad and charge at him and lose his cool.
00:43:09
Speaker
and and make a mistake. So I think that is is one way he would do it. I think he's kind of going to be playing 4D chess around Rambo. We see Rambo, you know, he gets gets manipulated by Murdoch, manipulated by other people, and God, man with no name, he is a master manipulator and assessor of situations.
00:43:27
Speaker
Rambo's kind of a caveman. He's a smart caveman. He's got good ambushes, all kinds of things here, but he's definitely not on the same level as man with no name. ah You bring up a great point because... Master manipulator, man with no name.
00:43:39
Speaker
And we've seen it. Rambo has been manipulated many times. Why did he let that stupid sheriff from a tiny town that nobody gives a shit about? Why did he let that guy push his buttons?
00:43:51
Speaker
Why did he tease all I'm talking about? Why did he let Murdoch send him over there. He knew Murdoch was was on the what was shady because he told told him he was in Vietnam and he wasn't. We already know that. He said no. They weren't they weren't even based there. His troops weren't even based there. Why did he let that happen?
00:44:10
Speaker
So this is a great point. We got a chess player and kind of elite level manipulator and that's a good way to that he's going to win, right? Definitely. Rambo we see is an A shooter with a a bow and arrow, but a bow and arrow doesn't shoot as far as a rifle. And so do we ever see Rambo using a sniper rifle?
00:44:31
Speaker
You're the expert on Rambo movies here. I don't think I've seen him use a sniper rifle. Of course he uses a ton of machine gun, automatic weapons and huge, huge fucking weapons. I've never seen a sniper rifle. The M60 machine gun that he just fucking rips on God, i guess I could see the man with no name, you know, picking him off from um a large distance, you know, and that, that could be his, his path to victory.
00:44:56
Speaker
I think if he gets too close, then yeah and it might be over just from Rambo spraying bullets everywhere. Yeah, I definitely see a path to victory here. So Madden with no name. First and foremost, he has to have the home field advantage.
00:45:10
Speaker
He absolutely cannot go into battle in in a jungle scenario against Rambo because he's going to lose. But if he has home field advantage, let's assume he does this, right? Okay, that's that that's the biggest thing.
00:45:23
Speaker
Then he gets inside Rambo's head. Remember, Mammoth no name. He's been able to pit rivals against each other in the past. and e's he's He's kind of like the puppet master, pulling the strings of his enemies and the enemies of his enemies.
00:45:37
Speaker
And he could trick Rambo into thinking that he's rescuing somebody and that he has a face-off and he wins. And he has to be smarter than that. Master manipulation game is very, very strong, ah very elite, almost as elite as his sharpshooting, in my opinion.
00:45:53
Speaker
There is something i have to bring up about Rambo, though, because we know... Mammoth No Name's absolute elite skills, the speed and the accuracy.
00:46:04
Speaker
I have to bring this up that's relevant to this matchup. We see in Rambo 4, the boy Rambo 4 is the biggest one, right? is In terms of killing, we see all the all the ways that he kills people. So that's why this keeps coming up. But we see Rambo, the boatman. He's driving this human these human rights missionaries, including Rita.
00:46:22
Speaker
Yeah. Dexter's wife is in this. Okay. Okay. Driving them down the river to Burma or Myanmar. And they got these medical supplies, a boat full of bur Burmese pirates pirates comes up alongside them and threatens them. There's five of them. I counted. There's five of them on that boat.
00:46:39
Speaker
And they see Rita, not her name in this, but I'll call her Rita. And they have bad intentions. Instantly you know some bad shit is gonna happen here. And Rambo is sitting there studying and he's gotta make a difficult decision. He's trying to negotiate. It's not getting anywhere.
00:46:53
Speaker
And then in just an absolute explosive reaction, he reaches for his gun, fires off six shots within about two seconds. All of them are headshots. Absolutely savage, right?
00:47:06
Speaker
And this kinda makes me think now about how quick man with no names trigger finger is. And ah now I think Rambo is comparable and could be a real problem for Clint because that is, I'm with you. That scene stood out to me too.
00:47:21
Speaker
And here's how good he was. The confidence that you have to have going into that. So that was like an old time 1911 pistol he had, right? Seven rounds in the magazine, one in the chamber. He's got eight rounds. He's looking around. There's like six guys right there.
00:47:34
Speaker
He looks at that and he's like, no problem. And he just fucking takes them out with extra despair. Boom, boom, boom. So fast. Can we quickly just another favorite moment of moment of mine, which is on the opposite end of the spectrum to what you're speaking about here is at the very final scene ah where he comes up.
00:47:53
Speaker
He's about to try to destroy the Burmese militia. And there's a Gatlin gun in the Jeep, chops the guy's head off. my My favorite moment, he grabs the Gatlin gun. There's another soldier sitting in the front seat of the Jeep.
00:48:07
Speaker
He points the gun down at the guy and just absolutely annihilates him, turns him into pulp. Just you know like that like you put a human inside of a blender. yeah The guy goes, you know there's nothing left of the guy.
00:48:21
Speaker
so it Just eviscerates that dude. That was fucking brutal. oh One of my favorite parts, for sure. um anyway yeah so But I agree with you. I think you know in that scene, for sure, he's 100% comparable to the man with no name.
00:48:36
Speaker
And if he has those skills, plus all of his additional skills, you know there's no way he's losing. And, you know, Rambo's not a stupid guy. He's a smart guy, too. He's going to want to take this into rougher terrain, use his surroundings, use his instincts so that he can maintain his upper hand.
00:48:52
Speaker
And in that setting where he can use the environment as a weapon in addition to his weapons that he actually is is good at using, you know, signature traps, natural camouflage, things like that, and just never giving man with no name an opportunity to get off a clean shot.
00:49:08
Speaker
And because he only needs one. he only needs one shot. But if he can avoid that and take it into the the jungles, which is his specialty, that's a major advantage for Rambo.
00:49:21
Speaker
Now it's time settle the score.
00:49:33
Speaker
Here we are in the verdict. Gut check. Did my final pick change during this conversation? Absolutely not. However, i think as this tournament goes on as we see more and more iconic characters, it's going to continue to get harder and harder to say goodbye to some of these people. And I think the man with no name is one of those characters. And yes, I am deciding that Rambo beats him.
00:50:00
Speaker
The man with no name loses, but it really, uh, you know, is a dagger to the heart for me. Same with, uh, losing William Wallace last week or two weeks ago, these iconic characters, they're just, they're just so great and they have so many skills, but Rambo takes the cake. There's just way too much for the man with no name to overcome.
00:50:21
Speaker
And, and, you know, I think Rambo is so well-rounded. The man with no name is excellent at one thing, but Rambo is excellent at many, many things. So there's only one path to victory for the man with no name and there's multiple paths to victory for Rambo.
00:50:36
Speaker
Fair. Good. I think you got this one, Chris. This one's going to have to go to Rambo. I love the man with no name, but he's just outclassed here more than anyone else we've talked about so far.
00:50:48
Speaker
They might have a weapon or a tactic or something, but no one yet has been like Rambo where he doesn't need a weapon. He is the weapon. It doesn't matter if it's a machine gun, a pistol, a bow and arrow, a knife or his bare hands.
00:51:01
Speaker
This man is here to do one thing and one thing only is to rack up a ridiculous kill count. Rambo has this one in the bag. The only path to victory I see for man with no name.
00:51:12
Speaker
is some kind of an ambush on Rambo. But looking at this, every single movie you see Rambo in, he sets up some kind of badass ambush for every single one of them. Whether it's Rambo 3 with the glow stick and it's hooked up to a grenade, Rambo 4 where he hides some stuff and the dogs are chasing after him they blow up the giant bomb in the woods. He's always ambushing people.
00:51:34
Speaker
He's always being a strategist himself. I just don't see a way for Man With No Name to take this one. I'm giving it to Rambo easily. Are you telling me that 200 men against your boy is a no-win situation for us?
00:51:46
Speaker
You send that money, don't forget one thing. What? A good supply of body bags. a So good, so good. Yeah, listen guys, I think you know which way I'm leaning here, but we know that Man With No Name is very adept at taking out bandits, bounty hunters, things like that with his signature sharpshooting.
00:52:05
Speaker
He's just not used to facing a one-man guerrilla warrior. By the time he realizes that it's not a face-off and that he realizes he's being hunted by a goddamn monster, it's just going to be way too late.
00:52:17
Speaker
In a shootout, At high noon on a dirt road with fucking tumbleweed rolling by and stuff like that. Okay, I think Clint has a 60-40 chance of winning in that very specific environment. But in this tournament format, things are going to get fucking crazy. And Rambo wins this and he wins it in absolutely graphic and brutal fashion.
00:52:41
Speaker
Rambo wins this one. I just want to paint a picture for the end scene of this film. You have Rambo at the top of a hill or a mountain.
00:52:52
Speaker
The man with no name on his horse with his six-shooter sees Rambo. He thinks he has him in his sights. Starts galloping on the horse full speed towards Rambo.
00:53:05
Speaker
Rambo walks the other way down the mountain, down the hill, so you can't see him anymore. And from out of nowhere, a helicopter comes racing over that peak.
00:53:18
Speaker
And now you've got Clint Eastwood on a horse Rambo and a helicopter going full speed at each other. Like they're at a jousting match. And sadly man with no name just gets absolutely obliterated by a Gatlin gun on the helicopter.
00:53:34
Speaker
He's a you know ah puff of red mist in the air along along with the horse, and he's out of here. Absolutely right. And it is tough that Man With No Name has to go. He's an iconic character, somebody that I grew up watching. I didn't really grow up. I wouldn't say I grew up watching him. I grew up watching my dad watch him. So, yeah, of course, it's tough that we let this guy go, but we have to let our emotions go. we have to set our opinions to the side.
00:54:01
Speaker
We know... that the winner is Rambo, and that's a goddamn fact.
00:54:08
Speaker
And with that, this podcast is over. Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off!
00:54:18
Speaker
So good. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Rambo. I didn't mean to say it was over.
00:54:25
Speaker
ah love it. I love it. I'm stoked you Rambo here. This is someone who can take it to the end. We've got some people on here who are definitely going to give him a run for his money, but I can't wait to see where he goes. The tournament's definitely not over. Don't worry, Rambo.
00:54:38
Speaker
We're going to be back next week. Yeah, Rambo. We got Rambo in a couple of weeks. And I'll tell you what, too. I can't wait for Rambo's next matchup because we covered about 10% of my notes here. There's so much more. We basically, we really focused on Rambo four here. I can't wait to get to the other ones.
