00:01:19
Speaker
Nothing is better. How are we feeling? We're feeling pretty good. Dude, we're feeling great. I went to Sam's Club today, did some shopping, bought a lot of unnecessary snacks. I mean, we are having a fun day, Sunday. Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. Monday, Sunday. Monday, Sunday. That's right. Nothing's better than starting out your Monday messing around. That's what we do. Love it. Love it. Tins, what's your favorite at Sam's Club snack?
00:01:47
Speaker
Um, big fan of the peanut butter pretzels. Those are, those are pretty fire. We got some, what else we, oh, we got these Rocky road chocolate covered cluster things that I'll change your life real quick. It's peanut butter, not peanut butter. It's like pretzels and marshmallows and chocolate and just sprays pretty life changing.
00:02:09
Speaker
That's the life change. They don't they don't last very long in the house between me and and Macy We we tend to absolutely see his daughter. Yes small child small tins Is there any better deal on earth than than a Sam's Club or a Costco? Hot dog. No, there's only the pizza. So it's Sam's Club I don't know how it is at Costco, but Sam's Club. It's two slices It's two slices for 250 and they're huge. They're like my goodness. It's like half the size of a Red Baron pizza
00:02:40
Speaker
You can't even beat that stick. You can do like a combo. It's like a drink in a, a drink in a pizza for like $2. Exactly. It's the best deal ever. I didn't get pizza today because we went, it was, you know, it was too late for a snack. It was too, you know, we didn't want to ruin my dinner. So I got a churro instead. I also never even went to know that our very first podcast recording, uh, tens was wearing, uh, tens. What was, what was the shirt that you're wearing on her very first podcast recording?
00:03:09
Speaker
Oh, from Friday I was wearing my Taco Bell shirt. Taco Bell t-shirt. The retro one. That wasn't like a free shirt that he was given. He went out and purchased merch for Taco Bell. They were sponsored. Yeah, I bought it at Target. I've been looking for that shirt for like, I don't know, every time I went to Target for months and they never had my size, but they messed up and they had it. I bought two.
00:03:35
Speaker
And that actually gets us into our sponsorship for the day. Tinsley, do you want to do our sponsorship reading?
Sponsorship with Taco Bell
00:03:40
Speaker
Yeah. So I'm very pleased to announce. I mean, this is a lot of dedication, a lot of years hyping up Taco Bell for free. Like Zach said, buying merch. I've definitely supported the restaurants. I can't even tell you how much money I spend.
00:03:54
Speaker
Not on a yearly basis, but a weekly basis. If you could see my Taco Bell rewards, it's nice. They're full. Full of points. We're so glad to be presenting to you this episode today from our sponsors, Taco Bell.
00:04:09
Speaker
And if you don't have the app, you got to get it now. That's actually my number two, best deal of all time. The cravings box for $5. You get a drink. They got it right now. Best deal. Let me just say something about the Taco Bell app. We might be, we might be joking around. This might be messing around Monday, but this is serious. Okay. The Taco Bell reward app, like every other time you buy something,
00:04:34
Speaker
Like you get a free, it's like their fire reward. And it's, it's not like, Oh, cool. I get a free cinnamon twist. You can get a free cheesy Gordita crunch, a large, icy, uh, other burritos of some sorts. Like it's, it's a good value. So I mean, every other time I go to Taco Bell, I have a free reward. Wow. I think we're giving away content on another draft. We could do that's going to be a highlight cause I'm just gonna let everybody know.
00:05:03
Speaker
Uh, we have a best deal in, in, in food draft coming for you. It's going to be the craziest draft you've ever seen.
00:05:13
Speaker
This changed over time, but we're big food people, and we track these things. We love a good deal. Let me tell you, the best deals in all of food is coming, and it's going to be hot. That will be our most highly anticipated draft episode for sure, because I'm just going to tell you now, I will not put in as much research
00:05:33
Speaker
In to bets that I would that draft I will I will be taking that draft so serious You think I have a lot of stats and information on these Friday episodes about gambling?
Fast Food Nostalgia
00:05:44
Speaker
No, sir Food it has always been food fast food, especially
00:05:50
Speaker
If McDonald's would stop messing around and sponsor, they'd be number one overall. Exactly, but right now, it's Taco Bell. Taco Bell is giving us the money, so you know, number one. They're number one in our hearts. What would happen if McDonald's brought back the famous mid-pick too? I'm giving away some picks already, but... Oh, no. I hate rotation. I think, you know, McDonald's has been phased out of my life in a lot of ways for the most part, but...
00:06:18
Speaker
The McPick 2 might pull me back in. We might be close. For some reason, Macy loves McDonald's. I don't know why. We never gave it to her. She told us that they gave it to her at preschool one day. They were like, we didn't have someone to cook lunch. So they went and bought us all McDonald's. And she randomly just likes McDonald's now.
00:06:38
Speaker
Is that a cool sponsor by McDonald's? I guess. So I had McDonald's for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and I can't even remember how long. And it was, I was like, oh, no, this is not. This is tough. It's a little tough.
00:06:51
Speaker
It's not, it's definitely not worth, worth the money it used to be. I mean, I used to spend 10 bucks and get half the menu and obviously eat it all. Cause that's another, I have a vivid memory of, uh, we were in high school and we went to McDonald's and we decided that we were going to see who could eat the most McDoubles in one sitting. And this was back in the good old days, you know, back, back when we were a country and McDoubles were only $1, $1, exactly $1. Then it was 129. Then it was like.
00:07:23
Speaker
We're at $3 for a big double. That's just insanity. No one's paying that. You could buy so much. You can buy a whole two slices of pizza and a drink at Sam's Club.
00:07:36
Speaker
If you would have done that same challenge now, you wouldn't have been able to eat the rest of the week because you wouldn't have had any money. I'll be broke. But I will say I did eat seven McDoubles in one sitting. He did. It's my greatest performance of all time. It is in the whole thing. It's his Jordan Flu game, for sure. All right. Well, Mason, I hear you have something to share with the class.
Choosing a Universe to Live In
00:08:03
Speaker
Yes, I do. This could be something that everybody could play in their mind or just at home together, a scenario that I came up with. We have had several fun and exciting movies and TV series that you wish when you were a kid that you wanted to be in that universe. The question is, what movie or TV series would you want to live in and why?
00:08:28
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Okay. What are some options? Can you throw some option now? I'll throw out some options So we got like Harry Potter you could be a wizard right Star Wars you could yield a lightsaber Pokemon you could have your own Pokemon and be like battling people I'm just getting this story out because everybody gets the point at this point. Okay, but there's something that uh, a universe so not the storyline we're not we're not reliving the movie and
00:08:55
Speaker
You could just be in that universe and live throughout whatever the universe is for them the movie or tv series Who wants to kick us off Tins you got it. All right. I got it. Here we go. So i've been thinking about this all day mason sent us the text I was walking around sam's club thinking about my answers
00:09:16
Speaker
And here's the thing, I love Star Wars, big Star Wars guy. I've been waiting for the day that they come out with a Star Wars open world video game that's similar to like Skyrim, but Star Wars. I would love to pick stars right here, but here's the thing. How do I know I'm gonna be a Jedi? I'm gonna waste my time living in a universe and not know if I get to be a Jedi or not.
00:09:41
Speaker
There's not that many Jedi. What if I'm born in the universe in the time that that's like the the new Star Wars movies? There's no Jedi's. It sucks. You were born like a janitor on like one of the ships that get blown up. Not only are you could you not be a Jedi but the Empire is like there's like a fascistic ruling structure in charge of the entire universe and everyone is like slaves basically to the Empire.
00:10:07
Speaker
Yep. So unless you're over and over again. Right. So unless you're born in the golden age of Jedi, the universe kind of sucks to live in. Even then, the Jedi need to be there is because the world sucks. Yeah. And what if you suck as a Jedi and you accidentally cut off your own arm during training?
00:10:23
Speaker
or you get murdered. There's that Darth Vader. He's a bad guy. So, so I'll leave, I'll leave Star Wars as the answer for video game, but I'm going to go listen. So I'm going to go Pokemon. I'd pick to live in the universe of Pokemon because anyone can go be a Pokemon trainer.
00:10:45
Speaker
Right, you can either choose to live like a cool simple life Just have Pokemon have them as friends or whatever or you can go battle these gyms mess these dudes up become a legend which is what I would do would be a legend and Go on these cool adventures and stuff. So that's that's that's my pick I think living in the universe of Pokemon would be pretty cool Spent a lot of time playing those video games. So that's my pick. I'm gonna go Pokemon Good pick 10s
00:11:15
Speaker
Great pick, love it. Thank you, thank you. So, I'm gonna do the... Zach, you want me to go? Is that cool? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna do the same thing that Tinge just did where I thought of one off the bat and then I was like, you know what? After thinking about it, that sounds pretty horrible.
00:11:31
Speaker
And my first one would have been parts of the Caribbean. Ooh. And then you got to think about basically diseases. It's a horrible time to live. Horrible time to live. Diseases. Nobody's taking a shower or bath. Basically, everybody dies on the ship. You're getting blown up. That's a terrible existence. Yeah, you don't want that. You accidentally get cut by a sword. You have this little tiny cut, but then, you know, your whole body's infected and then you die.
00:12:03
Speaker
Like what are we doing? So I'm actually gonna go just because I'm all about the action. My favorite movies of all time are all action movies. So I'm gonna go with Transformers.
00:12:19
Speaker
What the heck? If you would have just saw Tinsley's face right now. Okay, you got to tell me that it would not be cool to have like Bumblebee or Optimus Prime. If you would have the coolest car ever, that would basically be your best friend that if something happened, they'd just battle for you. That only happened for Shia LaBeouf.
00:12:45
Speaker
Well, I'm saying hopefully that would be the situation is I would there's no problem. It's like a one in seven billion chance that car found child. Well, I think I think that the situation is you're saying you wouldn't be inserted into like the plot of the movie kind of like.
00:13:02
Speaker
when he's picking that you're like all right you're so i think that's fair okay if it was just a bunch of fighting robots and if you get to like the third movie which i don't think a whole lot of people did all the cities are just on fire at this point nobody cares they're just blowing up everything
00:13:20
Speaker
It's coming from space. It's a tough look for earth. Yeah, it really is. So I'm not, yeah, you're right. Maybe if there's one, can I, I'm breaking the rules at this point. He just wants to drive like bumblebee. That's one bumblebee. No other, everybody else get out of here. Let's just have the big one. So yeah, I broke the rules already. Dang it. I was the first one. All right, Zach, go ahead. I think for me, uh, now that I've heard all of your, uh, explanations,
00:13:47
Speaker
I think it has to be Harry Potter because okay look and I think it has to be yes I mean there is obviously some dark wizards out there Voldemort pretty bad guy I get like sure but at the end of the day you can do magic which is very cool you get to go to a school which at times is in danger possibly
00:14:13
Speaker
Lots of bad stuff happens there to school every year every year seemingly every year. Um, but look, as long as you're not there, I think if you could avoid the Harry Potter years, you'd probably be fine. You just go to class, learn about all your spells and you can be like, you can do anything you could. I think that's a world that I spent a lot of time in and the books and movies and things. And just the world itself is very cool. Uh, all of the.
00:14:43
Speaker
the the set piece it's different than anything on earth like uh That we have experienced and so I think it's just a different reality I mean space would also be cool, but the star wars whole like governmental system just seems pretty bad, you know But I mean wizards also seems pretty bad to me. Yeah, it did. Yeah, I don't know mystery magic pretty not not a great system maybe but
00:15:08
Speaker
I think overall, just the ability to do magic has made it number one. Right. But imagine this, you're just a normal student chilling out in Ravenclaw, going to Potions 101. Hufflepuff. All right, whatever. And then the school's under attack by Dementors. That's not your fault. You're not even friends with Harry Potter.
00:15:30
Speaker
And I'm safe. I could sit and chill. You're not. They're going after Harry. Not me. Voldemort's coming forever. There's like a war. It's like, what are we talking about? I'll fight the war. But why? For Harry Potter? You're not your friend. I will say so. Let me say one thing. Yes, for her. I will fight the war for Harry. I believe because he's good at Quidditch. Is that a good guy? Voldemort's bad guy. Dumbledore. Dumbledore would be the greatest. Come on. That'd be cool. Star Wars. Now, I will say the Andor show that came out.
00:16:00
Speaker
It almost convinced me that I would, it would be cool to be part of the rebellion. I'm like, man, that's the coolest. Him, like the start of the rebellion and seeing it, I was like, I would be joining that rebellion. That would be sick. Being a part of a revolution is something that I think would be sweet, you know? I don't know what kind of revolution, but just being, overthrowing a regime is something that I think I could get behind. It'd be fun. You could do that in Star Wars until they blow you up. That's true.
00:16:30
Speaker
And then it's not fun anymore. So I did have one that we didn't mention unless you had something else tens. No, no, no. Okay. Uh, that would be anything Marvel universe. For me personally, that that's, that goes with the transformers theory of I'm trying to live a normal life and half the world's being blown up at all times. He's just living in like Cleveland, Ohio, just hanging out, watching the news and seeing captain America.
00:17:00
Speaker
All of a sudden you're in your two-bedroom apartment and the Hulk just smashes through I mean he's fighting crime if I could be an Avenger That world's tempting but there's places that would be fine. I can know we're in the in the Avengers world. That'd be fun to visit like Wakanda would be dope like that. I would do that. That'd be cool
00:17:24
Speaker
That's true. Until they're in war and under attack. Yeah. It all comes back to that. It's never just a nice place where everyone just hangs out. You know where it's always a nice place? Pokemon.
00:17:35
Speaker
It's true. Just having a good time. What if Zach, you would have picked Harry or like the Harry Potter universe, Hogwarts universe, and you would have just been born as a muggle. That's a tough, that would be a tough break. You know, but that's for me too. I'm like, all right, Transformers universe. And then I'm just some guy that got stepped on by optimus prime going down the street. While though.
00:18:01
Speaker
So that was a fun little scenario there.
Trivia Challenge on Toys
00:18:04
Speaker
I've thought about that before. I think everybody has one of your kids. Like if you were into Power Rangers or anything like that, man. Well, you're in a cartoon, cartoons too. I mean, if I could be a Power Ranger, then that's the answer. But I didn't think anybody wanted to hear me talk about Power Rangers, but I love Power Rangers. Well, speaking of childhood, we are, that's actually a pretty good transition. So this next segment is our, we're doing a trivia segment.
00:18:31
Speaker
And so here's how today's going to work. If you're listening to us real time, there's a couple of big movies out in the movie theaters right now, which we're going to hit that a little bit later with our draft. But one of the movies coming out right now is Barbie.
00:18:47
Speaker
And so I decided, as our trivia question for the day, that Tins and Mason are going to try, I have a list pulled up here of the top 15 best-selling toys in all of history. And so we're going to see how many of these toys that Tins and Mason can guess correctly. And whenever they guess one correctly, I will give it to them.
00:19:11
Speaker
And so I'm not gonna give you time I think we're just gonna see what happens here and we're gonna we're just gonna see how many you can get right I think I think all of them are reasonable I think Some of them are you will have to think backwards a little bit, but I think you can do this I'm looking to help I'm looking to redeem myself after Friday's poor trivia showing and
00:19:38
Speaker
I had no idea that this was going on. No research was. Yeah, I didn't see research right now. Right now, the gears are just turning. I'm trying to think of any toys. You can start throwing some stuff out and I'll tell you if they're right or wrong. All right. So I'm going to go Barbie Dreamhouse. Let's get it popping. So they're pretty big categories. Barbie is number one on this. OK. OK. Gotcha. It can be anywhere in this. It can be it can be big groups of toys. Yeah.
00:20:04
Speaker
I got one. GI Joe. Number seven. Bang, bang. Bang, bang. Easy bake oven. That's number three. Very good. Rubik's Cube. Rubik's Cube is number 14. It's on there. Awesome. Everyone has one. Have you ever solved the Rubik's Cube correctly?
00:20:27
Speaker
Negative not even I had I saw a look at that. I watched YouTube. Yeah. Yes. I'm here. I didn't look it up. I did it though. It's not a road trip back till then. All right. That's a pretty good start. I'm gonna go Hot Wheels. I'm gonna go Hot Wheels. Dang it. That was my Hot Wheels number eight. Very good. Oh, man.
00:20:48
Speaker
I'm going to go. Okay. Now I'm, now I'm fine. I'm going to go like sticky hands. It was like hands that you would stick to paper and you'd pull something on there, but there is a couple of things. How about slinky slinky on there? And it's a very, very good guess. It is not though.
00:21:05
Speaker
What's the log box? All right. I'm like on three out. Lincoln Logs. Lincoln Logs is not on there. Holy cow. Oh, for three. I'm going to go. There's something very similar to Lincoln Logs on there. Yeah. Is it Legos? Legos is on there at number 10. Not a bad start. Not a bad start. Let's see. One of them has, at least one of them has been said on this podcast already today. Already today? By Mason.
00:21:35
Speaker
by mason Actually, two of them have been mentioned on his podcast today. He couldn't he couldn't spell if he gave you any more clues You'd be spelling it for you mason. Come on. You got it I'm gonna go pogo stick No, it's not but mistake reason what is it transformers
00:22:08
Speaker
More than meets the eye. Come on. Oh, was that when you were singing? Transformers. And what about like, is there like a dinosaur or Jurassic Park or dinosaur? No, there is another thing we mentioned today that's on there though.
00:22:25
Speaker
Oh my is it the pokemans? Pokemon is like i've seen there is a couple lists that had pokemon on it. This one doesn't it's probably yeah, because they're more cards in games and then they were Yeah Okay, there is one there is at least two or three that I think you could definitely get there's a couple you want but
00:22:50
Speaker
Um, this is uh, this is just something that me and my brother had and we loved it and this may be like Just not even close but it was a rollout mat that had roads on it and houses and you took little cars That is a fire. I I also had one. I feel like every kid had that Um, that's probably not a toy though. It's kind of like a decor. Yeah. Yeah the core accessory type of thing What if we went what if we went american girl doll?
00:23:19
Speaker
That is not on this list, but that's a very good one as well. Dang it. Number two is on there, and it's been around a very long time. It's more of like a... Is it the ball and the cup thing? It's similar to that, very similar. The paddle. It's a similar vibe to that. This isn't... I don't know. Now it's making me mad. It's not a paddle board. That's not what it's called. But it's a similar idea.
00:23:49
Speaker
Ping pong goes up and down and there's string Yo, yo, it's a yo, yo, yo, yo, of course before you're not gonna get it's um the radio flyer like the little wagons Oh, I was definitely gonna get that They are pop. Okay number five. You couldn't get a guess. Yep Play-doh
00:24:12
Speaker
Okay, I'm going to give you this. Play-Doh is not on there, but Silly Putty is on there. Silly Putty, that's number five. They meant Play-Doh. They didn't mean Silly Putty. You got six, seven, eight, ten. There's not very many left. You're doing pretty good. We think we could guess any of the other ones. Yeah, definitely.
00:24:36
Speaker
Power Rangers, Power Rangers on there. It's not. Dang it. But there is. So there is an action figure on there of something that we talked about earlier today that we mentioned.
00:24:49
Speaker
would be a terrible place to live. Probably Darth Vader. Yeah, the Star Wars action figures that they've lumped all that into kind of one because that wasn't very well. Is there like an NFL one as well? Because there's well, there's like football player ones, but that's an action figure ish. I don't know. I'll give you number. OK, let's let's run through some of the rest of them. OK, number nine etch a sketch. Dang it. It's a pretty popular toy.
00:25:17
Speaker
Number 11 prominently featured on Toy Story. Any guesses? Oh, Mr. Potato Head. Mr. Potato Head. Number 11. Very good. 12. More of like an outdoor toy that's like a... To use like in your driveway. Hula hoop. Chalk. Chalk. Hula hoop. That's it. The hula hoop. Tins is on it.
00:25:44
Speaker
The very last one, it's in the summertime. It's made to, when it's hot outside. Sprinkler. It's kind of. Slip and slide. The water slide, slip and slide. Close, you're on it. Kids pool. I don't know. Kitty pool.
00:26:07
Speaker
The Super Soaker. The Super Soaker. Of course. That's it. Here's the following toys. These are all the toys. I'm just going to read it really fast that are in the National Toy Hall of Fame. Who knew? Who knew? The very first toys. Barbie, Crayola crayons, and a rector set.
00:26:31
Speaker
Etch-a-sketch Frisbee, Lego marbles, Monopoly, Play-Doh, Teddy Bear, and Tinker Toy. There you have it, folks. That's trivia for the day. I remember the older ones, the only reason I pulled them is because I remember watching that show on Netflix, the toys that made us. It's pretty solid. Did you guys have a favorite toy growing up?
00:26:58
Speaker
Big Power Ranger guy and the I had the the mask for the Blue Ranger for some reason I liked him the most even though he wasn't the main Ranger and then had his swords and that's what I did in my front yard a lot in my Underpants fighting fighting crime as the Blue Ranger and
00:27:19
Speaker
Fantastic. I probably went with like a mixture of like random action figures with stuffed animals and then we all like I talked about the Hot Wheels and the the car mat was always our go-to so Yeah, there was I was stuffed animals definitely were in it and then cars like little toy cars and I was in the same vein I was surprised Beanie babies didn't make the list of them
00:27:45
Speaker
Yeah, I was too, because that was a huge phrase. You're pretty big one there, kids. Yeah. All right. Well, now is for the main event team. We are drafting our very first draft of the day and of the entire pod. We are drafting. So let's just set this up a little bit.
Summer Blockbuster Movie Draft
00:28:08
Speaker
Today's draft is going to be
00:28:13
Speaker
Any blockbuster summer blockbuster movie since the year 2000. And yes, that is covering a pretty big span of time. For reference, I will say this up front. I was born in 1995. Tins and Mason were born in 93.
00:28:31
Speaker
Yeah. Yep. So I mean, in the year 2000, I was five, they were seven. So don't be surprised if you can comment it to us or send a complaint to the email. Nextguyuppod at gmail.com.
00:28:49
Speaker
And we will reply to you. But sorry, for me personally, my picks are a little bit skewed past that just because I was maybe six years old when some of these came out. But some of them are bangers. And so I think they might get drafted still. So here's how the draft's gonna work. We will pick an order randomly.
00:29:09
Speaker
Snake Draft style we're gonna take five movies each. There is no category. So it's just straight-up Best movies out there. I There's a cut. There's a lot of lot of good movies. I think you can make easily Two or three different list of five and be yeah like some fire list because there's I mean summer blockbuster I think in the last 20 years I
00:29:33
Speaker
That's when most of the, that's when a lot of the big, big time babies. So really it's a list of like the highest grossing movies of the last 20 years that we're drafting out of. So I think it's going to be fun. Uh, I'm pretty excited. Does anyone have anything to say before the draft process begins? I just want to, just want to make it known that when you grade my draft, it's, it's either an A plus or an A plus plus that's a SIT people. Wow. Like there's no way you can, you can argue these picks I'm about to make.
00:30:02
Speaker
He's pretty confident. How many movies are on your list? 28. I got 28. I'm 28 deep here. We're only drafting five. Listen, if you come ready, then you don't have to get ready. So I'm always prepared. I always have extra ammo. I have extra ammo just in case. You never know when you need it. I have seven on my list. All right, so here's what we're going to do.
00:30:31
Speaker
Mason. Well, here we go. I'm going to create. I'm going to randomly generate who is going first. I'm actually randomly generating it here. And so here it goes. Tens is number one. Let's go. And I am number two, which means Mason is on the turn number three.
00:30:57
Speaker
Mason make sure you don't get lost in the snake people at home. Don't get lost in the snake It's easy that it can happen. So just make sure you're aware You're caffeinated and you're making sure you don't get lost because you get tortured in there This one feels pretty serious like our very first one. It's a big deal like I feel like this one could could live up to Live in infamy like or potentially be our greatest draft ever. It's good. Go down. It is our greatest ever It's our only one
00:31:27
Speaker
All right, 10s. Well, you have number one.
00:31:30
Speaker
Yeah. So since we're talking about making history and going down as the greatest draft ever, I have the first pick and there's nothing else you can do other than take the dark night rises.
Draft Controversy and Picks
00:31:42
Speaker
Dang. There's just no, wait, wait, wait, wait. Sorry. No, just dark night. My hand was on the chess piece. No, my hand was on the chess piece. That does not count. No. Wait a minute. My hand is on the chess piece. No.
00:31:58
Speaker
What? This is the greatest controversy of podcast history. Listen. Listen. You just said the Dark Knight Rises. I didn't mean to. You said my pick is a Dark Knight Rises. I didn't mean to. I had it under, I have them next to each other on my list and I just kept reading. This is insanity. This pick has to be. Alright, Dark Knight Rises. It has to be.
00:32:24
Speaker
for the sake of the draft that was that was one that was the one of one of one i mean that was it that was that was number one overall so do i get it or do i have i'm gonna give it to you what haha i'll be stuck again so all right ten talk about dark night dark night greatest movie that's ever happened ever i mean what is what is there to say actually you know what you know what actually rises give it to him
00:32:53
Speaker
Bump this. I want Dark Knight Rises. Give me Bane. Can't do the voice. No, I can't anymore. It's gone. He used to be great at the voice. I used to be. I can't do it. I definitely can't do it right now. But yeah, no. Listen, as much as Heath Ledger is the greatest joker ever, that movie is timeless. And sure, it should have been number one. I'm going to fight. I'm going to fight for the right that Dark Knight Rises doesn't get the love it deserves.
00:33:23
Speaker
The storyline with Bane, Batman getting sent down to the depths of the pit and having to climb out. Come on, man. Broken back. Broken back. Yes. Heinz Ward running from all those football players and an earthquake, I might add. Listen, man. And if you're not here for sports, you probably don't know. But Heinz Ward's not running away from an earthquake, let alone, like, that's not happening. He didn't have that in his bag. I don't even think he did kick returns.
00:33:53
Speaker
So I might have messed up, but I think it's it was subconsciously on purpose because respectable night rises I'm gonna take it because it's I will say noted when it came out. It was I mean, it was a big deal The opening sequence in the plane whenever they're robbing the plane and stuff. I mean, that's It is a great movie. I mean, I will say it's a great movie Good pic tense. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So Mason. All right number two was that
00:34:24
Speaker
I'll be taking Black Knight. Thank you to Tims for giving this pic and letting it fall a second. What can you say? This movie came out in 2008. I was 13 years old in my prime. That's when I peaked.
00:34:44
Speaker
Uh, this movie is incredible. I mean, I saw it in theaters 13 and it blew my mind. You know, it's a long movie, but truly just a transcendent performance by Heath Ledger.
00:34:57
Speaker
What I mean everyone loves it and I think it is definitely in my top five movies just in general of all time I will rewatch it Anytime because it is great. I mean, could you do without some of this some of the plots? There's about a jillion plot lines. Sure Could we do without the fairy with all the criminals on it? Maybe but the opening sequence in the bank
00:35:21
Speaker
The Joker comes in trying to rob the bank, man, incredible sequence. And so that's my pick, Dark Knight. I think it has to be it. It stands the test of time. Still just an incredible movie, best superhero movie. I mean, it was the beginning of them all. There it is, Dark Knight. Good pick, Zach. I really liked that pick. Way to explain everything. So if anybody knows me as a person, you know,
00:35:51
Speaker
where I'm going with my two back to back picks. Y'all messed up. I'm going to go with the number two of all time box office history Avengers in game with $2.7 billion that they made. That was a number two.
00:36:14
Speaker
You can, literally, how can you even disagree with how much money they made as well as some of the best scenes of all time in movie history? I mean, it's like one of the best theater experiences you could have too. Yes, when the battle's happening at the end. Insanity. Best experience of all time. On your left. On your left. On your left.
00:36:37
Speaker
Yeah, you can't beat it. It's a good pick. And then my second pick is going to be Avengers infinity war. Well, that's what leads up to end game. So you have to have those two together.
00:36:57
Speaker
But that is not how I thought that movie was gonna end I watch it back constantly just because i'm like man that gave me goosebumps to this day after watching it for the 700th time infinity war I would like to know how many times you've watched it So it's like mason's comfort Comfort movie he puts it on just what he's hanging out Like once a week. Do you have it on like at least once a week?
00:37:25
Speaker
Probably once or twice. So because you know what's happening, because you've seen it so many times, you put it on the background of whatever you're doing, cooking, cleaning.
00:37:34
Speaker
Like doing something else, you put it on the background. And it's, if I put, if I put on a series I've never seen before and I'm like paying attention to whatever I'm cooking and I don't, I'm trying to not burn whatever I'm cooking. And then I'm like, oh shoot, I missed whatever happened in that series. So I put it on the background. I know what's happening because I've seen it about a billion times. So good background. Everybody should try it.
00:37:56
Speaker
And we're sponsored by Disney. That may be too big of a company. They might actually sue us. Did that just happen? Did that just come in? I missed that email. Just now. Well, they heard me talk about my two back-to-back picks of the best of all time. Endgame and Infinity War. Those are my picks. They're good picks, honestly. Also, I did not get lost in the snake, so. Oh, fair work. Attaboy. Attaboy.
00:38:25
Speaker
All right, Zach, go ahead. My number two pick. I think it's a great movie. And we've been in the IP mania here for Summer Blockbusters, and I'm not leaving.
00:38:45
Speaker
Star Wars, episode three. No. Guys, this came out in 2005. I was 10 years old. I went to this movie in the theaters. I was too young to remember all of the backlash against it, really. I wasn't in the discourse then like I am now, the Twitter. I wasn't there for the Twitter world blowing up against it. I know Twitter didn't exist.
00:39:13
Speaker
Uh, episode three, a very good movie, truly a very good movie truth to this day. So a good movie. Uh, and I've rewatched it recently cause I'm, and I'm like, man, you know, this is fun. You see Anakin get his legs chopped off and the volcano or the fire, whatever it is. I mean, you get to see you and McGregor cooking.
00:39:37
Speaker
Um, back when obi-wan was a cool guy. He's still a cool guy. He's still cool. I mean, the series is fine. Uh, episode three, it's a very good movie. Uh, it kind of redeems episode one or two. Just mean kind of, they're still not good, but, uh, very good movie though. Episode three. There it is. I was, I was very, I almost took it with the first overall. Cause I, I think it's, it's, it might be my favorite of all the star Wars movies.
00:40:09
Speaker
I mean, it's close. I think and I think that's actually pretty common of people our age who didn't don't have some of the same emotional attachment to the to like the original trilogy. Yeah, low key original trilogy sucks. I mean, I like the original trilogy, but like we weren't part of that mania. But we were I mean, we were kids whenever episode three came out. And I mean, it's it made a big impact for sure. For sure. All right. Here we go. So
00:40:35
Speaker
That was my next pick. We've been taking a lot of stuff where stuff's blowing up, people are getting their faces punched in. I'm going to turn to the more lighter side of things and I'm going to go super bad. Here's the thing about super bad. Super bad might be the last time not super politically correct comedies were okay.
00:41:01
Speaker
The last time you could just kind of get away with a movie being funny for being funny. Sorry, where'd my notes go here of this beautiful film? Jonah Hill. Jonah Hill, before he turned famous and cared about his image when he was okay with just being the funny fat dude. You know, it's inappropriate, it's all get out, but everyone can agree that it's hilarious.
00:41:29
Speaker
So that's my pick. I'm gonna go with super bad. He's locking it in. Is that the movie where he's got like the fake license, fake driver's license? Yeah, McLovin. I mean, to this day, like you, come on. Everyone does. Some T-shirts put that on there. Yeah. He still gets called. He's doing some new TV series and everyone in it calls him McLovin. So I'm definitely, I'm cool with taking super bad right there. All right. You have another one, Tenz.
00:41:57
Speaker
yes and so now my next one because i'm just i'm just going off the cuff out here and i'm going i'm going signs midnight Shyamalan or whatever his name is he's known for having the greatest twist and suspenseful thriller movies ever this is the movie he makes right after the sixth sense so
00:42:24
Speaker
Great movie. His popularity is at all time. And this movie has stuck to me to this day because I'm still scared of aliens that can camouflage themselves into the colors of our walls and get us. I mean, you guys probably never saw this. I shouldn't have seen it when I did because I was... I've seen it.
00:42:43
Speaker
I was like eight and yeah, it's petrified like addicts. I don't trust addicts. That's where the aliens live until they're ready to come out. That's why I was having addicts. Addicts, right? Like people addicted to things. Yes. Well, yeah, whatever works. I mean, I literally, I, you know, always have to have a cup of water by your bed because if aliens show up, you just throw it at them. Apparently that's what their weakness is.
00:43:09
Speaker
Bingo. Bingo bongo. So we're just going, I'm rattled. I'm reaching. I really wanted Star Wars. And so now I stand by signs though. It's a good movie. He stands by it. That scene of Joaquin Phoenix in the closet, watching the news, that alien walks by. Goosebumps. Goosebumps everybody.
00:43:34
Speaker
Did it any of the other star wars movies come out in the summer you had some other options or was that just uh, No, i'm not picking any other that was well i'm not picking it Well, I don't like one and two fingers only and the newer ones the last thing I need for our new podcast is uh the new Star wars fans who hate them so much. They call themselves star wars fans All they like to do is hate it, but I wasn't gonna pick. He's taking chides. I got other fights to battle on twitter I'm not dealing with those dudes
00:44:04
Speaker
All right. Great pick, Tins. Great pick. Thank you. Thank you. It's not. Thank you. All right. Here we are coming in. We got a lot of good movies on the board still. Here we go. My number three pick. I will be taking Inception. Oh, man. Christopher Nolan, 2010. I wanted to get away from some of the serious IP stuff for a little bit. Inception.
00:44:31
Speaker
I mean, it was just like in the middle of the public eye for, I was, I guess I was in high school then, uh, and everyone was talking about it. You know, the end is he's still in the dream world. It was not, uh, it was the movie you had to watch a couple of times to really understand what was happening. It made you think it was trippy Leonardo DiCaprio. It's hard to miss. Uh, great movie. I think some of Christopher knows all other stuff. He's like tenant, not as successful. Uh, but inception, very good movie.
00:45:01
Speaker
Great exact Thanks. I was I was always afraid of that movie because everybody talked about how confusing it is and last thing I want to do when I watch a movie is have to think So I watch it on repeat. That's right. But as it holds up, it's a good it's a good movie. Zach. Good pick. Thanks, Mason It's definitely right for like all the conspiracy theories too of like all of the the movies connecting like Leonardo caprio movies. It's like
00:45:26
Speaker
Inception and great Gatsby and like, I don't know, I'll send it to you. But people on the social media will know that there's all the fun conspiracy theories about how they all connect connect together.
00:45:39
Speaker
I love things like that, where they connect and intertwine. Even though they don't. Even though they don't. People are reaching and grabbing just to make it work. Makes you think. All right, my third pick. I did not get lost in the snake. I'm going to go a different route. I went with two Marvel movies, two action movies. I'm going to go with Remember the Titan, September 29, 2000 is when it came out. So Remember the Titan is one of my favorite sports movies of all time.
00:46:06
Speaker
I know there's some really good ones out there, but this was a summer one that I found that came out. It's a very good movie. So that is my pick. One of my favorite Denzel Washington movies as well. It's got a good cast in it. This one just enjoyed. You get your hyped up. It really does. I really wanted to try to play football just because of that movie, but not athletic enough. But still great movie. Love that movie.
00:46:30
Speaker
Watch them every year before the season starts i'll be watching it sometime soon next couple weeks get you hyped up. Yes, sir So I think i'm gonna get a lot of backlash on this next one. We're getting deep in the draft now folks This is my number fourth pick i'm gonna go ahead and start out by saying that this is more of a start of an era which is
00:46:54
Speaker
the Spider-Man universe. I'm going to go, my brother Matthias would love me for this one, hopefully. Spider-Man, the movie, May 3rd, 2002 with Tobey Maguire. No. You know, Mason, I like you.
00:47:12
Speaker
Going a different route. I mean that's where it all started is it not we have all the remakes But everybody lost their minds if we could go back to that time everybody freaked out About that because what did we have at that time? We just had the cartoons of spider-man and the comics, of course, which was huge So when that came out that was like the biggest biggest deal when I was you know a kid when that came out so I think you could argue spider-man 2 is
00:47:39
Speaker
That's where I thought you were going to go. Much better movie. I think I should have probably went by the movie itself, which I would agree with you on, but I think I wanted to have in my gauntlet the start of the whole, which, you know, if that's the case, I went with Avengers, the very first movie and I didn't. I went by the best movie. And listen, you got the upside down kiss. I mean, who hasn't tried that?
00:48:06
Speaker
All right, I love it. Who has it? Who's the better villains of those three movies? Because I mean, you got a good villain there. Doc Ock is pretty fire, though. Doc Ock is pretty good. We also had the video games on the PS2, so I'm like linking a lot of them. Yeah, those games were fun.
00:48:26
Speaker
I'm basically linking my whole like outside life to one movie I think but that's my that's my pick back back to back remember the titans and spider-man the first one all right oh again very respectable thank you all right with my number four pick uh i'm i'm going a little bit out there
00:48:47
Speaker
I'm picking this because I remember vividly sitting in this movie and it was like a cultural phenomenon. It was huge when it came out. I launched a franchise. I am going with Pirates of the Caribbean and the Curse of the Black Pearl.
00:49:04
Speaker
And I think you can argue that the series went downhill. Sure. Sure. It did. Who cares? Like the last movie is bad. Fine. But you have Orlando Bloom. You have Keira Knightley. You have Johnny Depp. I mean, maybe just playing himself. From what we've seen now, I think he was just hanging out on set with the Pirates outfit on. But I mean, Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow is truly an iconic performance.
00:49:29
Speaker
A very cool character. Created from a ride at Disney World, which is very cool. And I think that movie came out. It was huge and it was great. And then it did launch the franchise. Very fun. I think it's like a perfect summer movie. It came out right at the perfect time in the summertime. I mean, it's just a great summer movie. Love it. Love it. Love it.
00:49:52
Speaker
All right, here we go back to back to finish up back to back. And I'm going to kick us off with a movie. Everyone can love that when you watch this, when we were kids, a lot of this, a lot of this humor kind of went over our heads because we were kids. It was really meant, you know, for adults and that is shred.
00:50:12
Speaker
I'm going with Shrek. It's on my list. It was on my list. The original Shrek, man. That is one. It holds up to this day. So good. You can watch it any time. You got All Star from Smash Mouth. All Star is a banger. It's a banger. All time. So I'm definitely, I'm rolling with Shrek. I'm rolling with Donkey. Soundcheck is fire. All Star, I'm a believer. Yeah. I mean, it's got some beggars in there.
00:50:38
Speaker
Every time I hear that those like songs from like smash mouth, I think of shrek. That's what exactly so that's I mean How how could I not take a movie that has just instant? Like popularity among everyone like find me someone find me someone who says they don't like shrek and i'll show you a liar Because everyone loves shrek
00:51:01
Speaker
Also, if you do rewatch it back as an adult, you're like, Oh, I didn't even know that scene was in there. And you're like, they throw in some, which I know a lot of cartoon movies, but that one's like known for the hidden adult jokes. Yeah, for sure. So I'm happy to get Shrek there. And then I'm going to finish, finish off my draft class with the movie that started it all come for the Marvel franchise. And that'd be Iron Man.
00:51:32
Speaker
It's a good pick. Good pick. It's on my list. The first, you know, little bit of him being in the cave, building the first suit, coming out. He's like, I just want a cheeseburger. I mean, and then just he's starting the whole Marvel franchise. So first time we could see Nick Fury. I love it. Iron Man. Bang, bang. My favorite Avenger probably. So.
00:52:00
Speaker
I'm happy to finish there. I think if you swap my picks around a little bit, maybe I went a little weird order there. But I think my class holds up. My team is on the floor, and I'm happy to put them out there.
00:52:17
Speaker
All right, my last pick, we're wrapping it up. I think I kind of wanted to spread the field a little bit with my last couple of picks. I think I got some bangers on the front, on the top end. I really wanted to spread it out some. And so as my last pick for all the kids out there and for when I was a kid, I'm taking Finding Nemo.
00:52:42
Speaker
You want to talk about a movie that is, first of all, perfectly a summer movie. Secondly, whenever we were that, I mean, it was, it hit the kids like crazy, like Nemo, Dory, it was taking over the world, seemingly. You had lunch boxes and you had, now we had spin-off movies and sequels and merch. I mean, for a movie about fish,
00:53:09
Speaker
Truly incredible movie. And so I'm taking Finding Nemo. I think legitimately it started like, we take the, my daughters to the aquarium and I don't think my oldest has seen Finding Nemo yet or she has. No, I don't think she has. She still calls those fish.
00:53:27
Speaker
Yeah. She calls them Dory fish. Like that's what every kid calls them. And I'm like, these kids are five. We rebranded an entire, she's a fish. Exactly. To a Dory fish. Nemo, same way. Nemo, same. Same kind of fish. Yeah. So the movie has truly changed the whole generation. One of the best characters in Disney history, Crush. Oh yeah. I got a crush.
00:53:54
Speaker
It's good. I'm going to follow up your Disney movie with a another. Oh, here we go. Since we're sponsored and everything, you know, I'm going to go with because this is one of my favorite cartoon movies.
00:54:11
Speaker
And that was in the 90s and they did a remake and that is Lion King came out July 9th, 2019. The remake. You did have Seth Rogen. The live action version? Yeah, I'm sorry. Live action. But yeah, remakes basically. Seth Rogen, Beyonce, What's His Face? I don't remember. What's His Face? The other guy's name. What's His Face? I don't know.
00:54:37
Speaker
All right, a good live version. No, nobody likes that one. It's fine. I didn't watch it. It actually is like the number. It's like I was doing some research and it's I made like almost two billion dollars, I think, in the box office. I think I kind of went with a higher box. Yeah, some higher. It's like top 10. I think just about. I think if we were basing mine off of just how much money I did, I did look and see how much. Listen, I mean, I went a different route. The new avatar.
00:55:06
Speaker
Then it but no with the first avatar it came out in december. So it didn't count but that was the number one That was number one box office Uh, yeah, it's like 2.2 billion. I think something like that. I mean it's smart you took lion king It's gonna pop on the uh, the graphic and you're gonna get votes because everyone's gonna vote because it's lion king, but it's it's the
00:55:25
Speaker
1995 yeah, yeah the 1995 because we can't pick the 90s. I couldn't get the cartoon in there No one please don't have any money Talking to you Disney. I don't have any money somebody else to pick on All right, that right well up that'll do it that's our draft boys I
00:55:54
Speaker
Hey, we're going to post these on socials. Go and vote for us. Pick whose list you think won, who you got.

00:56:22
Speaker
I had the Dark Knight, Episode 3, Star Wars, Inception, Pirates of the Caribbean, Crystal Black Pearl, and Finding Nemo. And Mason had Endgame and Infinity War back to back. Remember the Titans, Spider-Man 1, and Lion King the live action version.
