00:00:51
Julian Contreras Jr
That's up there. the I hope it wasn't shocking for you.
00:00:56
Kendahl
No, I just I guess I, you know, it's funny, we keep doing this. And it's it's not about like, how many episodes do we do? It's just, we just do it, right?
00:01:06
Kendahl
It's just this is this is what we do for fun.
00:01:06
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:01:08
Kendahl
And so it's when you start talking about the number of episodes that we've done. It's kind of crazy because we've been doing this for two years. Did you realize that this month marks two years?
00:01:19
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. Yep, yep, yep.
00:01:22
Kendahl
So, yeah. So, I mean, first off, anybody that's still listening to us, I can't say if I'm... I want to say sorry on one end because you've had to endure the challenges that have been Julian and I's learning curve with this.
00:01:42
Kendahl
And then at the same time, wholehearted, like, absolute thank you. And if I saw you and I knew who you were, I'd probably give you a hug because I'm a hugger. But...
Studio Move & New Beginnings
00:01:53
Julian Contreras Jr
All right.
00:01:54
Kendahl
So I got to say, though, got to say, though, to start off the boat. So, you know, you did tell me this. It's it's strange looking at you. I got used to your backdrop.
00:02:05
Kendahl
And right now I'm just looking at a blank wall with a TV on it.
00:02:09
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, in honor of Taylor Swift, this is a blank space over here. you Short story, we are moving my studio.
00:02:18
Julian Contreras Jr
So if I sound extra echoey today, That's what it is. Hopefully it's not coming across like that. But that is what's happening. This is the last recording in this room here, least for a while.
00:02:30
Julian Contreras Jr
have to find a new spot in the house somewhere that sounds decent. But we'll make it work.
00:02:35
Kendahl
A little better. i I mean, I think you sound great, but that's just me.
00:02:41
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, thanks.
00:02:43
Kendahl
So, but anyway, yeah, it's it's kind I feel like we took a little bit of a break this time. i You know, we didn't originally and plan to take this little extra a long time, but scheduling kind of got in the way of, I think for both of us.
00:02:59
Kendahl
And then, yeah, so now we're <unk> kind of going back to that We'll get there when we get there. You know what i mean?
00:03:05
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, the last last two weeks has been kind of a getting ready to make this move and everything. But I did leave one photo in here on top of my desk. And I think you could probably guess out which one it is. But I mean, this one's staying.
00:03:17
Kendahl
Oh, yeah. I was going to say, i knew it I knew what was coming. I saw that coming.
00:03:22
Julian Contreras Jr
I just like it because it's a good motivational piece. Like, I never thought I would meet her like that. And it's just crazy that it happened.
00:03:31
Kendahl
Right?
00:03:31
Julian Contreras Jr
And she didn't cancel And of course, we're talking about Alexander Daddario here. So a super awesome person to meet.
00:03:38
Kendahl
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:03:40
Julian Contreras Jr
We talked, we laughed, it was a good time. But with everything else being down, I had to leave something in here.
00:03:44
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:03:47
Kendahl
You don't want to have a war burden behind you, like, that for motivation?
00:03:49
Julian Contreras Jr
like I got yeah this and a water bottle, that's it.
00:03:51
Kendahl
ha ha ha! see and See, you're going minimalistic and I was just telling him before we started, I went all like super high tech.
00:04:02
Kendahl
I'm getting I've got a couple of screens going, extra camera going. I'm i'm just I've got the whole thing coming around. So I know I can from my position, like my my view of myself on the camera is just garbage.
00:04:07
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, that's fine.
00:04:16
Kendahl
Because because it's so it's like you're looking at the the my neck and my chin. and But you know for you guys out there, that's that' not my job
Sports Highlights: MLB and NFL
00:04:29
Kendahl
for you guys out that has nothing to do with anything.
00:04:29
Julian Contreras Jr
but
00:04:30
Kendahl
Because all you're doing is just listening to us. But he gets to endure looking at the bottom of my chin the whole time.
00:04:36
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh yeah, it's my favorite part of the episodes.
00:04:36
Kendahl
so
00:04:39
Julian Contreras Jr
But anyway, enough with the the banter of why the rooms are empty and why we're looking at jowls. I want to talk a little bit about something that's on tonight as of the recording.
00:04:51
Julian Contreras Jr
But if you guys listen to this a little later, game seven of the AL side of the World Series baseball is being played here in a little bit.
00:05:00
Kendahl
Right?
00:05:02
Julian Contreras Jr
Do you have any interest? Are you watching at all?
00:05:06
Kendahl
i You know, it's this this year has been out of my wheelhouse. I haven't watched any like single bit of baseball, unfortunately. Let me rephrase that. No, no, no. Let me back up. i i have been minimalistically paying attention to what's-his-name just breaking home run records right now. but
00:05:29
Julian Contreras Jr
Are you talking about Shohei?
00:05:30
Kendahl
What is his name? Yes.
00:05:33
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, okay.
00:05:33
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:05:34
Julian Contreras Jr
How does that name slip your mind?
00:05:37
Kendahl
cause apparently cause I'm looking at too many screens. Anyway, my point is, yeah, so it's, it's crazy because it's, it's kind of at that point where like typically, I have a good idea of what's going on in the world series.
00:05:51
Kendahl
I, even if it's on like a third party level, I still have some idea this year. I had no clue who's playing. That's just so terrible.
00:05:59
Julian Contreras Jr
Well, it'll be the Dodgers and then one of these teams tonight.
00:05:59
Kendahl
I, I literally,
00:06:02
Julian Contreras Jr
So it doesn't start until Friday. So you have time to jump in there for game one.
00:06:09
Julian Contreras Jr
But yeah.
00:06:09
Kendahl
i Well, I'll get there. And then, yeah so who's playing tonight? Is that the
00:06:16
Julian Contreras Jr
It's the Mariners at the Blue Jays.
00:06:18
Kendahl
Mariners and Blue Jays?
00:06:19
Julian Contreras Jr
Game seven.
00:06:20
Kendahl
Okay. All right.
00:06:21
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, everybody kept asking me, like, who am I going for?
00:06:22
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:06:23
Julian Contreras Jr
Who am I going for? And I was like, honestly, i just hope I see a game seven. Because I love, I've said it before, but I absolutely love when everything's on the table.
00:06:29
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:06:32
Julian Contreras Jr
Like, win or go home, game seven, there's no tomorrow, basically.
00:06:37
Kendahl
Right.
00:06:37
Julian Contreras Jr
And that's what we got tonight, so.
00:06:38
Kendahl
And this is an interesting pair up. I mean, i don't I haven't followed it much this year, but just kind of knowing these teams in general, even just looking at their stats, it's it looks like it's going to be an interesting game.
00:06:53
Kendahl
And I'm almost wondering if it's going to very, very like defensive game, if this is going to be one in on the infield, if you know what i mean.
00:07:03
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, some of them are pretty crazy like that. It'll be 2-3. But then other times we watch a Blue Jays game and it's like 13-1 in the fifth.
00:07:11
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:07:11
Julian Contreras Jr
like, what is going on? This is crazy. But I hope for a good game. And of course, I'm going to pick my winner right now. I've said it all year. i said it last year. i don't think anyone is beating the Dodgers.
00:07:26
Kendahl
I, I not knowing anything this year, knowing that it's between these two teams and the Dodgers, I'm going to have to agree. mainly because either one of these teams, if they did go up against the Dodgers, I think it'll be a like you said, I can hope for a fun game, but in the past and knowing who's playing this year, cause I do know a little bit, but I just haven't been watching.
00:07:42
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:07:50
Kendahl
I feel like the Dodgers have the upper hand on, am
00:07:55
Julian Contreras Jr
Everything.
00:07:55
Kendahl
Just overall. all What's that?
00:07:57
Julian Contreras Jr
Everything.
00:07:58
Kendahl
Yeah, so I said like overall. I think they just overall they have an upper hand on so much over these two teams. So i don't know. I think i my, I guess my thing is I'm looking at it from a stats position.
00:08:11
Kendahl
It looks like the Blue Jays have a good chance of taking out the Mariners on this one. Uh, because I'm just, I'm over here two screening, looking at stats. I I'm going off stats. I think it looks like the Blue Jays have a better offensive.
00:08:25
Kendahl
They're most likely going to score at least a couple extra runs over the Mariners. they have, you know, they have better hitting ratio. I just, I don't know. I just, I think they're probably going to take it.
00:08:36
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay. All right.
00:08:36
Kendahl
That'll be a fun game though. Blue Jays versus the Dodgers.
00:08:40
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, it would and be good. But I think Seattle, that would be a really close series just from Seattle to l LA.
00:08:44
Kendahl
All right.
00:08:49
Kendahl
Oh, like proximity?
00:08:49
Julian Contreras Jr
Quick Johnson.
00:08:50
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:08:50
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:08:52
Kendahl
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:53
Julian Contreras Jr
let's stay on the sports. And i'm not I haven't even mentioned this to you, but let's talk about the NFL a little bit. Like, first off, Carolina is on a three-game winning streak, which hasn't happened in four years.
00:09:00
Kendahl
Okay.
00:09:06
Julian Contreras Jr
We haven't been on the positive side of 500 since 2021.
00:09:11
Julian Contreras Jr
And then that just brings me to the whole thing of the NFL. there's You can't choose a winner. Like every team that we thought was going to be awesome is not really. They're kind of starting off slow.
00:09:22
Julian Contreras Jr
And you got some of the teams like the Colts absolutely killing it.
00:09:28
Kendahl
Yeah, I... it's It's actually kind of funny because on my on my Instagram feed is always... the it's always the, the teams that are losing.
00:09:40
Kendahl
I always get some stupid thing about how, you know, basically my toddler can throw a better ball or, yeah or or, or, or like my favorite one is my, my five-year-old to catch more than the, dot than the, the Dallas Cowboys right now.
00:09:46
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, yeah.
00:09:57
Kendahl
Cause they just can't do anything.
00:09:59
Julian Contreras Jr
So I got to tell you, I witnessed this conversation the other day, and I don't think I was going to mention it, but you just brought it up in a perfect segue. So sometimes when I'm sitting on the couch, I'll say in jest that I could play better than that, knowing full well that I cannot.
00:10:15
Julian Contreras Jr
My old butt is not getting out there on the field and doing anything normal to what looks on TV. But I witnessed a conversation with two youngsters, yeah maybe 18, 19, something like that.
00:10:30
Julian Contreras Jr
And this kid was absolutely going out on a limb and saying that he could play better quarterback than Geno Smith for the Raiders right now.
00:10:43
Kendahl
Okay.
00:10:43
Julian Contreras Jr
And I had my headphones in and I took one out and I had to listen. and he was serious. Like he was like, if there's any way I could get ahold of the Raiders, like what was the worst thing that could happen? They, I mean, they're doing terrible anyway. They could put me in. Right.
00:10:58
Julian Contreras Jr
was like, he's like, what's the worst that could happen? In my, under my breath was like, you could die. Yeah. but Like, they're not going to put you in there not playing any football whatsoever and taking a hit from some of these defensive ends that are coming full speed.
00:11:17
Julian Contreras Jr
Like, they'll snap your neck in two. It's just not going to happen.
00:11:20
Kendahl
Right?
00:11:21
Julian Contreras Jr
It's not feasible. But he was dead set. He was bringing out stats, saying that the NFL isn't about the long ball anymore. Just watch any Aaron Rodgers game and you'll know that's not true.
00:11:33
Julian Contreras Jr
It's all about accuracy and handing off to the running back in your offensive line.
00:11:34
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:11:38
Julian Contreras Jr
was like, but yeah, until they stack the box.
00:11:39
Kendahl
i I will tell you, i' have actually...
00:11:43
Kendahl
Well, I have heard i have heard the defense several times lately that that the NFL has become more of a handoff series than it has been like if anything on the long field. like it's just Even watching plays, I can see that defense because there's a lot more of the handoff play being presented from game to game.
00:12:04
Kendahl
But that doesn't mean overall anything.
00:12:05
Julian Contreras Jr
I do. Yeah, not overall, but I do say that the NFL does ebb and flow. Like if there's just a whole ton of passing, teams are going to go out and spend money on cornerbacks and safeties to stop the passing.
00:12:18
Kendahl
Right.
00:12:19
Julian Contreras Jr
So therefore, what goes to the wayside?
00:12:20
Kendahl
Right.
00:12:22
Julian Contreras Jr
The front line. So yeah, now we're going to start handing the ball off and running around them and running through them.
00:12:28
Kendahl
Right.
00:12:29
Julian Contreras Jr
If you're Cam Scadabo, heavens to Betsy, we all missed out on that guy.
00:12:35
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:12:35
Kendahl
Well, I think it goes back to kind of what you're saying, though, right? So you have you have two avenues. If all you're going to do is... If all you're focused on is, you know, those long downfield type plays, your opponent's only going to do those short you know the short handoffs because that's that's what they're not prepared for, right?
00:12:55
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah
00:12:56
Kendahl
So, yeah. So, I mean, it all it's it's just all part of the game. Anyway, but yeah, so...
00:13:02
Julian Contreras Jr
So, I mean, it's
TV Show Reviews
00:13:04
Julian Contreras Jr
it's just bringing in.
00:13:04
Kendahl
NFL is definitely an interesting beast this year.
00:13:07
Julian Contreras Jr
Right. And it's perfect for that movie called Any Given Sunday. That's what I feel like this leak is this year.
00:13:13
Kendahl
oh yeah.
00:13:13
Julian Contreras Jr
We'll not do an episode on that.
00:13:14
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:13:16
Julian Contreras Jr
That's a really long movie. that's probably Kendall's probably never seen it.
00:13:20
Kendahl
I've seen parts of it. I've never seen the whole thing. that's You were accurate. Yeah.
00:13:25
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, but I don't know. That's how I feel about the NFL. Still love it, but it's a toss-up every week, I feel. It's crazy.
00:13:32
Kendahl
yeah
00:13:33
Kendahl
But anyway, so I got to ask, are you watching anything interesting recently?
00:13:41
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, Dexter. I caught up on New Blood. That's done. And Old Original Sin. That's done as well. All I have left is Resurrection.
00:13:51
Kendahl
Okay. Oh, okay.
00:13:54
Kendahl
Oh, and I have not, you know, this is the hard part. I haven't watched any of the new Dexters at all.
00:14:01
Julian Contreras Jr
So they are still really good.
00:14:03
Kendahl
So.
00:14:03
Julian Contreras Jr
i feel like with Michael C. Hall as the narrator for Original Sin and the younger kids, we talked about this series. I love that one.
00:14:11
Kendahl
Right.
00:14:12
Julian Contreras Jr
I hope somebody buys it, Netflix, if you're listening, and I know you are. Please buy this show.
00:14:17
Kendahl
yeah
00:14:18
Julian Contreras Jr
If you want ratings, buy this show. Put the money towards season two. Move season one to your streaming. You'll get a ton more views because people know where to find it. And you'll have an audience ready for younger dokes to meet younger Dexter.
00:14:28
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:14:33
Julian Contreras Jr
Please, somebody make that happen. I don't have the money to do that. I apologize. But.
00:14:39
Kendahl
Well, and i think I think Netflix is definitely, I mean, because Netflix is the one that did that for Breaking Bad.
00:14:46
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:14:46
Kendahl
If I remember correctly, they were that was something that they were they were one of the, yeah.
00:14:47
Julian Contreras Jr
They've brought a couple shows back, I feel.
00:14:51
Kendahl
So, I mean, there's been a few, there's been actually a few shows that they've done that too, where the networks are like, hands off, it's too expensive, I don't want to do it, we're not getting the viewership, and Netflix is like, all right, let me see what I can do.
00:15:04
Kendahl
but
00:15:05
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:15:05
Kendahl
And then they, you know, then they pump it out.
00:15:08
Julian Contreras Jr
I'm putting the call out there.
00:15:08
Kendahl
So.
00:15:09
Julian Contreras Jr
Please let it happen. But then that brings me to New Blood, which you can stream on Paramount Plus for free, which is cool, but with commercials.
00:15:11
Kendahl
Uh
00:15:17
Kendahl
huh.
00:15:19
Julian Contreras Jr
And as my friend Hannah says, commercials are for peasants.
00:15:20
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:15:22
Julian Contreras Jr
But you know what?
00:15:23
Kendahl
a
00:15:23
Julian Contreras Jr
i can't You get what you get, and you don't throw a fit, right?
00:15:28
Kendahl
Right.
00:15:29
Julian Contreras Jr
I really liked New Blood.
00:15:29
Kendahl
And see, and I,
00:15:32
Julian Contreras Jr
I did feel like Dexter made a few mistakes that he never would have before.
00:15:41
Julian Contreras Jr
But that's just part of the show. That's way it goes.
00:15:44
Kendahl
Well, and i and I mean, Dexter, the original, was just amazing.
00:15:48
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, of course. Yes. I think that's what led my expectations to be so high.
00:15:51
Kendahl
And...
00:15:53
Kendahl
Yeah, and I think that's that's kind of what i was leading into. is I think that's the hard part, right? When you have when you have these, sp we'll call it spinoffs, because that's really what they are. Because in some way, you can say they're continuations. In some ways, you can say they're there spinoffs, however you want to play it.
00:16:06
Kendahl
Regardless, it's hard to meet. I mean, it's kind of like Better Call Saul, right? Was it good? i i mean, I only watched a couple episodes. It was okay. It wasn't amazing.
00:16:17
Kendahl
But it did not live to the hype of what Breaking Bad was. It never met that level.
00:16:23
Julian Contreras Jr
Right. it's the same thing for me.
00:16:24
Kendahl
And so... and i Okay.
00:16:25
Julian Contreras Jr
I only got through a few episodes, but somebody that's watched the whole, what is it, six seasons, they told me that you got to get through those episodes and then it really picks up. So it might be worth us both picking it back up to see.
00:16:38
Kendahl
Maybe, maybe...
00:16:38
Julian Contreras Jr
Because, I mean, it went six seasons, I think. You have the dual screens.
00:16:42
Kendahl
it
00:16:42
Julian Contreras Jr
You can look it up real quick.
00:16:43
Julian Contreras Jr
But...
00:16:44
Kendahl
no hold Hold up, hold up. We're going to play this real fast here. But yeah, so I mean, that's the whole thing, right? Is it's like... When you look at... Yeah, six seasons.
00:16:55
Kendahl
So, yeah, from 2008 to 2013. so but that But still, though, I mean, that was that was what was really difficult is that show, to me, didn't live up to the height of what was Breaking Bad.
00:17:08
Julian Contreras Jr
Right. Because there was no Heisenberg and there was no Jesse.
00:17:10
Kendahl
So...
00:17:12
Julian Contreras Jr
The Staples.
00:17:13
Kendahl
Right. I mean, and I heard that they came in on a few episodes from time to time, but nothing that was any longevity, right? So anyhow.
00:17:23
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. But anyway, what have you been watching?
00:17:25
Kendahl
and So, yeah. So so you've been watching Dexter. Oh, okay. So I actually turned on something interesting. I turned on Mr. Robot. I... Had never seen that show before and it kept popping up and I was in a show hole and I was like, you know what? Yeah, let's try it out.
00:17:43
Kendahl
And hands down, it's pretty good. I i literally stayed up with my wife the other day till one in the morning watching several episodes. Like we just got that enthralled into it.
00:17:54
Kendahl
So yeah, it's pretty good.
00:17:55
Julian Contreras Jr
Nice.
00:17:56
Kendahl
Definitely pretty good.
00:17:57
Julian Contreras Jr
Very cool. there are There's a bunch of shows that are on my list when time permits for me to catch up without watching all these whole seasons of Dexter. Like, I still have to finish Peacemaker.
00:18:09
Julian Contreras Jr
Derry starts in four days.
00:18:14
Julian Contreras Jr
It's just a lot. But I'll get there. Winter's coming. Shout out to Game of Thrones.
00:18:23

'Now You See Me' Series Introduction
00:18:48
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, yes, I do. Because I just botched these two movies today. it's time for a little bit of magic and we're not talking about magic Mike because that is also a trilogy, but not that one.
00:18:52
Kendahl
Okay.
00:18:59
Kendahl
Whoo.
00:19:00
Julian Contreras Jr
We are talking about now you see me. We have three movies.

00:19:13
Kendahl
Yeah. Yeah.
00:19:14
Julian Contreras Jr
Uh, these movies I saw obviously when they came out, which was forever ago, it seems like.
00:19:21
Kendahl
Dual screens 2013 and 2016.
00:19:24
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, so three years apart and then nine years apart. So it's like one of those families that are like, whoa, here you here's your little brother.
00:19:30
Kendahl
yeah Oops.
00:19:36
Julian Contreras Jr
Not that you know anything about that. But I like these movies a lot.
00:19:39
Kendahl
No.
00:19:42
Julian Contreras Jr
The Rotten Tomatoes scores on both of these, it's absolutely tragic.
00:19:46
Kendahl
Are a little surprising.
00:19:49
Julian Contreras Jr
Tragic.
00:19:49
Kendahl
Yeah, a little surprising.
00:19:50
Julian Contreras Jr
So even the first one got 51%. The second one, really low 34.
00:19:54
Kendahl
Yep.
00:19:58
Julian Contreras Jr
And we'll see what this third one brings.
00:19:59
Kendahl
Right.
00:20:03
Kendahl
Okay, so we have to we have to talk about a couple things on here. So the the thing is, you've got some, yeah the first, the very first one, you have some powerhouse names, right?
00:20:07
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, please.
00:20:15
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:20:16
Kendahl
So Jesse Eisenberg was not, this was right around when Facebook came out. So it wasn't, he wasn't a no-name, but he had not done a ton of stuff yet.
00:20:27
Kendahl
Right. So you got Jesse Eisenberg. You've got the you do have a big guy, Mark Ruffalo. He was he was pretty huge at this point because he had been he'd already done several.
00:20:36
Julian Contreras Jr
right
00:20:36
Kendahl
You've got Woody Harrelson.
00:20:37
Julian Contreras Jr
Huges and the Hulk.
00:20:38
Julian Contreras Jr
That's funny. Look at you.
00:20:39
Kendahl
Yeah, right. I know. And then you've got Woody Harrelson, who just everybody. I mean, Woody Harrelson had done Cheers at this point. He had done. See, was this this was around the same time that they had already done Zombieland, right?
00:20:54
Julian Contreras Jr
I was going to look that up to make sure, because I was going to make sure that you had known that.
00:20:54
Kendahl
want to say this was right about this. i I think that's about the same time. And then you've got Dave Franco, which I did not remember he was in this.
00:21:06
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, yeah.
00:21:06
Kendahl
You've got Michael Caine.
00:21:08
Kendahl
And then, of course, the legend Morgan Freeman.
00:21:11
Julian Contreras Jr
Yep.
00:21:12
Kendahl
and and then yeah and then And then one of my favorites, Isla Fisher.
00:21:12
Julian Contreras Jr
Huge I say Isla, but that's how I say it, but I could be wrong.
00:21:17
Kendahl
Love that girl. Okay, is it Isla Fisher or Isla Fisher? Isla Fisher. Okay.
00:21:24
Julian Contreras Jr
I've been wrong a lot of times.
00:21:24
Kendahl
this you No, no, no, no. You are probably very correct. And i'm I'm now playing the... Oh, and see, this this i'm people, I'm loving this screen setup here.
00:21:36
Kendahl
It is Isla Fisher.
00:21:38
Kendahl
You are correct, my friend.
00:21:38
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:21:40
Julian Contreras Jr
and
00:21:40
Kendahl
So, okay which okay, sidebar. Have you ever heard her speak and in in just like in her normal everyday voice? Have ever heard her talk?
00:21:50
Julian Contreras Jr
No, I can't say as I have.
00:21:52
Kendahl
Scottish.
00:21:54
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:21:54
Kendahl
Scottish with a little bit of Australian. And it's super, it throws your brain off. Because if you think of her from, like, honestly, I mean, I'm thinking of, what's that?
00:22:04
Julian Contreras Jr
Wedding Crashers?
00:22:07
Kendahl
I'm thinking, okay, i'm thinking of I'm thinking of Wedding Crashers, Keeping Up With The Joneses, this movie, I Heart Huckabees, like, definitely maybe, i'm honestly, like, any of these movies that she has this very normal,
00:22:07
Julian Contreras Jr
Wedding Crashers?
00:22:21
Kendahl
high-pitched American girl accent,
'Now You See Me' Plot & Magic
00:22:24
Kendahl
and then you go and you listen to her talk, it is, it blows your mind away for a second.
00:22:24
Julian Contreras Jr
Mm-hmm.
00:22:29
Kendahl
You're like, oh, I don't remember her talking like that.
00:22:29
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay. I'll have to go watch an interview video on that.
00:22:32
Kendahl
Anyway, so, right. So first, in the first movie, this was kind of a cool movie because it played the idea of magic and just the absolute perfect heist that could be, right?
00:22:47
Julian Contreras Jr
Right. Just the opening scene where it shows each of them doing their own type of show and then the eye getting in together to form this one big four horsemen group.
00:22:47
Kendahl
and
00:22:53
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:22:56
Kendahl
Right.
00:22:57
Julian Contreras Jr
I thought it was an awesome opening.
00:22:59
Kendahl
Well, and just, I mean, and just the, the, the, the title of their group being the four horsemen because of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Right.
00:23:08
Julian Contreras Jr
Yep.
00:23:08
Kendahl
So, the, I mean, the crazy part is, is so this, this first movie, I was trying to see if I can pull up, uh, when, when this came out, what was, uh,
00:23:21
Kendahl
wanted to see what they made. So it took in $351 million dollars overall on a budget of only 75.
00:23:28
Julian Contreras Jr
All right. Yeah.
00:23:30
Kendahl
So just hands down, definitely a movie that made its worth. So that's what's crazy when we're talking about a movie that had a very poor Rotten Tomatoes score.
00:23:45
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah
00:23:45
Kendahl
Right. and And does literally four times its four, or almost five times its value in in return. so I mean, I remember going and seeing it in theaters and I i was blown away by just the fun, fun.
00:23:55
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah I remember it in theaters and it was huge. It was sold out for a couple weeks, I feel like.
00:24:07
Kendahl
just the idea behind it and the the fun, like magic slash heist. And this is the other thing that was getting me to is I was thinking this was kind of that time when we had a lot of heist movies coming out.
00:24:18
Kendahl
So I'm trying to think of let me look here and see. But it's like i'm I'm thinking of like the Italian job that threw in kind of this whole.
00:24:27
Julian Contreras Jr
That's a good one.
00:24:27
Kendahl
Yeah, right. Yeah. And I'm trying to think of couple some of the other ones we had, like Ocean's Eleven. Like just all these really good heist movies.
00:24:39
Kendahl
And this, I think, fits into that realm of, geez, that's just as such a good heist movie, right? Let's see.
00:24:46
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:24:46
Kendahl
I'm trying to find. na it looks like.
00:24:49
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:24:50
Kendahl
go ahead. Keep going. I was trying to see if it had another one out there, but I thought there was.
00:24:52
Julian Contreras Jr
I was gonna say,
00:24:55
Kendahl
Oh, that this is the year Fast and Furious 6 came out.
00:24:59
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, now we're talking.
00:25:00
Kendahl
Yeah, and yeah I think that's the only one that's really like type of the type of movie, right? is Because Fast and Furious, they're kind of heist movies in general.
00:25:13
Kendahl
But anyway, so I just remember this movie being really, really cool. One of the things that was really interesting to me, though, is that when, to find out later, so Isla Fisher, the scene where she's in the dunk tank,
00:25:28
Kendahl
And so do you know the do you know the the hit the behind the scenes element of that?
00:25:33
Julian Contreras Jr
No, I was watching it with my son and he, I guess he saw something. of meant Maybe she did get stuck for a minute.
00:25:39
Kendahl
Yeah. Yeah. So while they were filming, she actually got stuck in there and almost drowned. And so some of the footage that you see her freaking out is actual footage of her freaking out.
00:25:54
Kendahl
Because she legitimately was stuck and they didn't recognize it.
00:25:54
Julian Contreras Jr
Hmm.
00:25:59
Kendahl
They thought she was acting. And then once it was realized, they stopped, started, you know, and drain the tank really quickly to to get her out, but then had to go back and reshoot the scene. But it took them a little while because she had to kind of like bring herself back into that position to be able to do that scene all over again.
00:26:17
Kendahl
It was that it was traumatizing to her. And so that's kind of to me, that was one of those. That's crazy. But it also shows when they asked her, she's like, yeah, go ahead. I'll you know go ahead and use the footage because it's, you know, it's good.
00:26:33
Kendahl
So that's one of those. was trying to find i was trying to find the the scene where she described it, but she was like, it was it was so enthralling and you could see the fear in her character's face in that moment because it was real.
00:26:50
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:26:50
Kendahl
But so I so my question to you is, yeah, go ahead.
00:26:52
Julian Contreras Jr
Nice. And then I just feel like the chemistry between all the characters together working.
00:27:03
Julian Contreras Jr
There was no one character that was like, hey, I'm the superstar. It's just going to be all of us together. This is what's making this show.
00:27:11
Kendahl
Right. and And see, and that's the thing is, I think that helps the dynamic of being such a good movie. Because when you have a cast, like I'm thinking of Ocean's Eleven, right?
00:27:23
Kendahl
When you have a cast that just melds really well together.
00:27:23
Julian Contreras Jr
Mm-hmm.
00:27:28
Kendahl
I mean, like the original like most of the original Fast and the Furious crew, when they were always together, it just... The movie could be totally bonkers out of nowhere, but it still was enjoyable to watch because the film really brought to light all the that was that friendship, that camaraderie between all the characters and how well they work together.
00:27:49
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. So let's get into this movie a little bit. We've already talked about the opening. We talked about there being a fifth horseman who has brought them together and they work together for a year before they resurface as a group.
00:27:57
Kendahl
Uh-huh.
00:28:03
Julian Contreras Jr
And they're in Vegas doing a show and they bring that guy on stage. And then it was explained to us later on how they chose this gentleman, but they proceeded to...
00:28:17
Julian Contreras Jr
rob a bank on stage in Paris.
00:28:21
Kendahl
Which, I mean, that that in itself is kind of like, it keeps, that was the one thing that I love about this is that the whole time you're almost as enthralled into these people in these scenes going, what are you going to do?
00:28:37
Kendahl
How'd you do that?
00:28:38
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, it was all really cool. I liked it a lot. the The whole scene where they explain it and they use the flash paper and it's, they never actually said like, if that's how they actually did it, but that's how they explained it to us. So that's what we believe, you know?
00:28:53
Kendahl
Yeah, well, and I mean, I think i think the cool the cool thing about this is when when you look at at at the end of it all, when you find out each person's role and how they were able to pull off these this heist, that's that's the like the reveal of that is what really gets you, okay, I want to watch it again.
00:29:22
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah
00:29:23
Kendahl
i Like to me, that's what it was. Like when I saw it, I was like, oh, I want to watch this again because you know there were clues along the way of what was going on.
00:29:31
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah and even me watching it just this morning and clear back from I don't know when the last time I watched it was but I kind of knew who the fifth horseman was and it was hard for me not to see that but I was trying not to, and I was just looking at all those clues that you had mentioned, and I was like, okay, yeah, here we go.
00:29:48
Kendahl
Mm-hmm.
00:29:49
Julian Contreras Jr
This is this is where we're picking it up. If I don't see this person, this person's doing something, you know?
00:29:55
Kendahl
Yep.
00:29:58
Kendahl
So that's and I'm just I'm going through some of the the fun things that are on here and they're talking about how like they they give away. I'm trying. don't want to give away too much because I think it'd be fun for people that haven't seen it to go see it. Right. But there's little giveaways that they talk about.
00:30:14
Kendahl
Like there's one there's a scene specifically they're talking about that the the screen pans and and is looking at each one of the four horsemen. And there's and there's there's actually a specific thing that you can see in each one of the the four horsemen that ultimately gives away one of the last scenes.
00:30:34
Kendahl
And so it's just it's kind of cool. But. I think the one like for me, the one thing. well I was going to go to the second movie, I don't.
00:30:46
Kendahl
What. what
00:30:50
Kendahl
was really cool about this movie was it was different.
00:30:54
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, it was there almost an original idea.
00:30:55
Kendahl
That's.
00:30:57
Julian Contreras Jr
i mean, there's always the idea of magic shows and magic movies.
00:31:00
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:31:01
Julian Contreras Jr
But yeah, this one was very cool that it was so fast paced. It almost went from trick to trick to trick to trick.
00:31:07
Kendahl
Yeah. And, and, uh, in, in some ways it was like, I feel like in some ways it was more of a magic movie than it was a heist movie, but the heist being played out throughout the whole thing made it that much more. Again, going back to that, okay, now I got to watch it again because I know they were doing different things to to show off what was actually happening.
00:31:30
Kendahl
And then, and then the, excuse me, and then the reveal, right? Of who the fifth horseman is. So
00:31:37
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah and I don't know if we want to say that I mean the movie is from 2013 but but yeah if you guys are just hearing about this movie from us and you guys want to see it maybe we won't give it away unless it's an accident but I will say that it it is a heist movie but in a very Robin Hood esque way
00:31:40
Kendahl
I know, right.
00:31:49
Kendahl
Well, and I. Yep.
00:31:55
Kendahl
yep
00:31:55
Julian Contreras Jr
Like they're not keeping the money for themselves. It's going back to somebody.
00:32:01
Kendahl
Well, and I think i think the thing is is, that's what makes this movie interesting because although it is – what I'm saying is I think there are some people that said, I don't want to really watch this movie because it presented itself as a magic, like as just being magic all the way through it.
00:32:17
Kendahl
And some people get put off by that, right? There are some people out there like, on that's dumb. That's stupid. It's childish. And so I know like my mom has never seen any of these because she's like, I'll just never watch it. It's not – I don't want to watch people do magic tricks the whole time.
00:32:31
Kendahl
Well, but that's not what this movie is about. And so that's I think there's people that are listening to this going, oh, I thought it was just about magic tricks. It's not. There's so much more.
00:32:41
Julian Contreras Jr
There's a way bigger story here.
00:32:42
Kendahl
so
00:32:43
Julian Contreras Jr
And then, okay, let's jump into Now You See Me 2.
'Now You See Me 2' Discussion
00:32:47
Julian Contreras Jr
Three years later, we got 2016. We got most of the cast back. We're missing one main character.
00:32:55
Kendahl
Right. so So now you you've got – you don't have isla fish or Isla Fisher in this one, right?
00:33:05
Kendahl
Dang it. So you this is the one you don't have Isla Fisher in it. and But you do have a couple of new characters that keep that are brought in.
00:33:15
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes.
00:33:15
Kendahl
Excuse me. So once again, we're going back to the heist mentality, but played on through the magician's essence.
00:33:30
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:33:32
Kendahl
Well, because anyway, go ahead.
00:33:35
Julian Contreras Jr
uh so yeah isla fisher is gone they do mention right at the beginning like oh man i'm so so sorry she left and the character they bring in to fill her role is lizzie caplan who i am a huge fan of from hot tub time machine she was in a few other movies but i like her comedy i like her sarcasm the way she in uh how do i say it The way her cadence of speaking jokes and being sarcastic is for her.
00:34:07
Kendahl
she got her she got her her start on Freaks and Geeks.
00:34:13
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes, I saw her on there.
00:34:14
Kendahl
Like, yeah, like one of the one of the most like if you were in Freaks and Geeks, you're you're making bank today. For some reason, that group was just and well, it goes back to that again. Another group of people that were so good on screen together.
00:34:31
Kendahl
It just made the show what it was. But yeah, so that's she got her start there. And then like she went on to do a lot of stuff. I'm trying to think of. Oh, Cloverfield. I forgot she played. She was in Cloverfield.
00:34:45
Kendahl
And then I'm i'm trying to think of something she's played in recently that I saw her in.
00:34:53
Julian Contreras Jr
I'm not officially sure, but.
00:34:55
Kendahl
Oh, Zero Day. Zero Day. She plays the daughter in Zero Day. That's right. With now I can't remember his name on Netflix.
00:35:00
Julian Contreras Jr
OK.
00:35:06
Julian Contreras Jr
All right.
00:35:07
Kendahl
Sorry, getting off topic a little bit.
00:35:07
Julian Contreras Jr
But we got a little bit. We have Jesse. We have Woody. We have Dave. We have Lizzie. Mark Ruffalo's back.
00:35:15
Kendahl
h
00:35:16
Julian Contreras Jr
Morgan Freeman's back. And then to top that all off, we're going to add Harry Potter.
00:35:23
Kendahl
Right.
00:35:24
Julian Contreras Jr
This is Daniel Radcliffe's in this movie. And then you bring back Michael Caine. And you're like, oh my gosh. Okay, we're just going to add more names to this already stacked cast.
00:35:33
Kendahl
Right.
00:35:34
Julian Contreras Jr
we have to do better, right? And Rotten Tomatoes would tell you no.
00:35:37
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:35:41
Julian Contreras Jr
Even though this, I felt it was way more enjoyable.
00:35:41
Kendahl
yeah
00:35:46
Kendahl
Oh, really?
00:35:47
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, I liked it a lot. Like I just got done watching with it a couple hours ago. The whole card scene where they're trying to get the card through and they're throwing it back and forth to each other. Absolutely amazing. I love that scene.
00:36:01
Kendahl
i i will disagree. I think this I thought this was I don't think the Rotten Tomatoes score is deserved by any means. I did like this movie as well. I guess I like the first one more Because it was unexpected.
00:36:17
Kendahl
And with this one, you kind of kind of saw the plot line just because you knew the first one.
00:36:17
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:36:25
Kendahl
But it didn't take away from being good movie. Does that make sense?
00:36:29
Julian Contreras Jr
Right.
00:36:29
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:36:30
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. yeah So with this movie, you knew the characters from the first movie, how they were and how they acted. And they seem to be in this good guy, bad guy role.
00:36:41
Julian Contreras Jr
This one kind of takes some of those bad guys and makes them flip flop a little bit. And for a good reason, not just because, but because there was a story behind what they were trying to do in the first one.
00:36:54
Kendahl
Right.
00:36:55
Julian Contreras Jr
So I thought that was really cool. You got Woody Harrelson playing two characters. He plays his twin brother.
00:37:03
Kendahl
It's always weird to me when they do that, but I get it. Anyway.
00:37:07
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. i Watching it back, i was like, well, they could have had somebody completely different do that. But I guess for the twin role and him with the huge veneers and the frizzy hair and arguing back and forth with himself was really cool and funny.
00:37:19
Kendahl
yeah yeah it it definitely added some i was a comic relief because that's not what it was but it it was definitely fun to watch his yeah
00:37:32
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. The tricks were way bigger. I felt like when Jesse Eisenberg was in Paris and he was playing with the rain and making it go up and controlling it.
00:37:42
Kendahl
up yeah
00:37:44
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. I thought that was really, really cool.
00:37:45
Kendahl
Hands down, i mean, and I think that's what they meant to do in this one was to try to up the ante of the quote unquote magic element.
00:37:56
Kendahl
Right. Like they kept trying to add a little bit to that. And so there is it is definitely neat to see that. I guess bar raised in this movie.
00:38:08
Kendahl
But now don't take my, don't take my criticism as being a bad. It is, it is not a bad movie. It's fun to watch. If you want, if you're looking for like a boob tube type moment, you know, we do that.
00:38:16
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah
00:38:19
Kendahl
We do that. Obviously our show is called shut off, turn on. If you're looking for that, that movie to shut off what's going on around you and you don't want to turn the TV onto the news and you just want to turn on something fun to watch, this movie will not disappoint.
00:38:33
Kendahl
I guarantee you it won't.
00:38:34
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. Yeah, they are both a lot of fun.
00:38:36
Kendahl
So,
00:38:38
Julian Contreras Jr
And that's going to lead me into, without giving anything away for from two, because if you want to watch one, you've got to watch two.
00:38:47
Kendahl
Yep.
00:38:48
Julian Contreras Jr
So three, I've watched the trailer a couple times now, and I have a feeling some of these characters are going to be quote unquote related or in some way to do with some of the older characters from two.
00:39:00
Kendahl
Right.
00:39:01
Julian Contreras Jr
And it brings back, it doesn't say Lizzie's in it, but Isla Fisher's back in it.
00:39:07
Kendahl
Right. And that's that's interesting. So I wonder how they're going to write that in.
00:39:14
Julian Contreras Jr
And if they do the same thing they did on 2, it's going to be right away. They're going to explain like, Henley's back. and So maybe I don't know where Lizzie went.
00:39:22
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:39:23
Julian Contreras Jr
but
00:39:27
Kendahl
the So the funny thing is, is in this in this menagerie of screens that I've got people, it's actually saying that there's already a fourth in production.
00:39:36
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, OK.
00:39:37
Kendahl
Yeah. So that leads me even to like, so I was thinking this was going to be a, you know, like a wash the hands, walk away, be done with the trilogy.
Future Movie Anticipations
00:39:48
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, it's been nine years. it's
00:39:50
Kendahl
Right. and So how and why are they going to add a fourth one in there?
00:39:52
Julian Contreras Jr
but
00:39:57
Kendahl
But then it makes me think, what are they going to add into this movie that opens it up for a fourth one?
00:40:06
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah I'm excited. i can't wait for November to see this one. I mean, there are a lot of movies coming out, but this one's definitely at the one of the top of my list to see in theaters.
00:40:12
Kendahl
Oh.
00:40:17
Kendahl
yeah Can I tell you, I'm between like... The next couple weekends till like Christmas, I i don't even know how I'm fit the movies in because there's so many of them coming out.
00:40:31
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, there's a lot.
00:40:31
Kendahl
Right.
00:40:31
Julian Contreras Jr
Mm-hmm.
00:40:32
Kendahl
So, I mean, OK, so we have we have now. Now you see me. Now you don't. That's what's coming up. Right. You've got you've got obviously for good coming out. Right. And then, oh, my goodness. Hold up. Hold up.
00:40:45
Kendahl
I was just looking at this today and I was telling my wife, I'm like, I don't even know how we're going to meet up to all these movies because there's so many good ones coming up. And I'm trying to think of the... Oh, which by the way, Tron Aries. I'm really glad I didn't go see that. It has bombed in the theaters.
00:41:02
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, i didn't I didn't look into that much, but I did see those reviews come through.
00:41:02
Kendahl
One of the things...
00:41:08
Kendahl
So one of the things that I was looking up was why. Right. So what's what's coming up and why or what what's you know, what's making it and why. And really what has been the big one is a lot of people hate the fact that it ignores almost the entire canon of what was the last two movies.
00:41:29
Julian Contreras Jr
Hmm.
00:41:30
Kendahl
Almost entirely. And it's like if you have a fan base of a movie that is like Tron, why are you removing all the fan base elements that makes this movie so popular to just essentially move on?
00:41:44
Kendahl
Right? So anyway, all right.
00:41:46
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. Yep. Mm-hmm.
00:41:47
Kendahl
So we're looking at, so obviously we have Now You See Me, Now You Don't. the There's actually, i I'm not necessarily going to go see this one, but the Springsteen movie, To Liver Me From Nowhere, this one looks really good.
00:42:00
Kendahl
i It's the, so Jeremy Allen White, the guy that plays in the bear, he's he's playing Bruce Springsteen.
00:42:03
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah
00:42:07
Kendahl
It actually looks pretty good. don't know you've seen that. It looks pretty good.
00:42:11
Julian Contreras Jr
I saw the trailer a few times. I like Springsteen. I might i might check that one out.
00:42:15
Kendahl
Okay. Yeah. And then I'm trying to think I'm trying to look to see what else is coming up here in the next like short little while.
00:42:24
Julian Contreras Jr
There's like a sad rom-com movie coming out. Or it might be out right now. I couldn't find in the theater next to me. But I think it's called Regretting You.
00:42:33
Julian Contreras Jr
I don't know if it's in Nicholas Sparks. That's probably really wrong.
00:42:37
Kendahl
Regretting you?
00:42:38
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:42:39
Kendahl
I will have to look that one up. I don't know about that one.
00:42:41
Julian Contreras Jr
It's about a daughter and she's with her mom, but she really was good friends with her aunt.
00:42:50
Julian Contreras Jr
And then they get a phone call that the aunt and her dad, who I believe on topic is Dave Franco or Dave Franco's...
00:42:56
Kendahl
Oh, oh, yes. Oh, I remember. I know which one you're talking about. Now trying to remember the name of the movie, but no, I do know what you're talking about. Yeah, that does look pretty good. and
00:43:06
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, I got to see that one. That one looks really good to be on the emotional level of, i mean, because I obviously got to see Black Foam 2 as well. So I have range, people.
00:43:16
Kendahl
Well, so.
00:43:17
Julian Contreras Jr
i have a lot of range.
00:43:19
Kendahl
Well, then so then we also have Running Man. That one's coming out.
00:43:22
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes, looks really good.
00:43:23
Kendahl
That one looks freaking awesome. And then obviously we have For Good coming out. And then we have soot Zootopia 2 coming out. You know me. I'm on that line because I love those movies. so you So are you even and remotely in the Friday Night at Freddy's line?
00:43:39
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:43:39
Julian Contreras Jr

Kendahl
And, yeah oh, yeah, this is, okay, so this is the one where the girl's dad passes away or whatever, right?
00:44:28
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes.
00:44:29
Kendahl
And then it it turns out he's, like, cheating on her or something like that.
00:44:32
Julian Contreras Jr
Well, a spoiler alert, come on. let Let the people watch the trailer.
00:44:35
Kendahl
it's in the it's in the trailer so anyway I love that I click on it and it it instantly shows me a preview of her backing up to pick up this guy on the side of the road and she's like spraying a Febreze thing in her car because of how bad it smells I don't know
00:44:39
Julian Contreras Jr
I was in the trailer.
00:44:57
Kendahl
All right. So, yeah, this looks this looks good and funny. But, yeah, I mean, there's a lot of there's a lot of good stuff coming out over the next, we'll say, month, right?
00:45:07
Kendahl
Because it's October 20th. Between now and the end of of November, you've got, we named off like five or six. there so There's plenty. There's plenty to watch.
00:45:16
Julian Contreras Jr
OK.
00:45:17
Kendahl
So,
00:45:17
Julian Contreras Jr
And then you still have your HBO Max, correct?
Fitness & Motivation Discussion
00:45:22
Kendahl
I do not have HBO Max. I have Apple TV. I got Apple TV.
00:45:26
Julian Contreras Jr
OK, crap. I wanted the next episode to be all about Pennywise and it and dairy, but if you can't watch it, it'll have to be just, just me talking about it.
00:45:32
Kendahl
Oh, well, you know what? I don't know. We'll see. I won't say no.
00:45:40
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay. Awesome.
00:45:42
Kendahl
Because i do want to see, I do want to see Derryville because I think it looks, it looks good.
00:45:48
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. On that note, I did... i don't know if you've ever seen these ads on TikTok or Facebook or Instagram, whatever. It's the Conker Challenge where you sign up for a virtual walk and then you walk that many miles.
00:46:00
Kendahl
No.
00:46:04
Julian Contreras Jr
Like there's one through Mordor where you do the whole walk. It's 100 and something miles. And you get like these kind of like big race medals that are they in the shape of the theme that you're in.
00:46:10
Kendahl
Okay.
00:46:17
Kendahl
Okay, I got you.
00:46:19
Julian Contreras Jr
So I did sign up for one just because I, sometimes I lack motivation on getting to the gym and walking and running and doing all that stuff. Just like everyone else does, but I feel myself needing something else.
00:46:32
Julian Contreras Jr
So I signed up for the it conquer challenge.
00:46:37
Kendahl
yeah Okay.
00:46:38
Julian Contreras Jr
So I I'll get on that. It's 89 point something miles.
00:46:44
Kendahl
Oh wow.
00:46:45
Julian Contreras Jr
So I got to walk that. And then in the app, there's like virtual postcards. I got like a little race bib they digitally created for me with my name and stuff on it
00:46:56
Kendahl
Okay.
00:46:57
Julian Contreras Jr
And then the medal comes when I finish The walk. So I think it'll be pretty cool.
00:47:02
Kendahl
That's awesome.
00:47:03
Julian Contreras Jr
I'll let you know, I'll keep you updated on that. And I feel like if that keeps me going mentally, because that's where it's all at, right, Kendall? It's a mental thing against yourself.
00:47:12
Kendahl
Oh. oh
00:47:13
Julian Contreras Jr
Like you could feel great one week and then the next week you're like, oh my God, why did i eat all that crap? Like i know I know I was watching football and we had a party this day and i had a party at work this day.
00:47:27
Julian Contreras Jr
But I feel so bad right now. And it just hits you and you're like, well, i don't want to walk now.
00:47:32
Kendahl
I you know what? OK, so confession time. So a couple of weeks ago i had that moment. I was with I was with the family and we went to we went on like a little weekend getaway.
00:47:43
Kendahl
And where we went, there's this pizza joint that we absolutely fell in love with.
00:47:44
Julian Contreras Jr
Mm-hmm.
00:47:48
Kendahl
It's called Tommy's Pizza. And so wherever whenever we go, that's we go to Tommy's Pizza. It is the most disgusting, greasy, overly amazing melt in your mouth. You'll never want another pizza because it will never live up to the greatness that is this pizza.
00:48:04
Julian Contreras Jr
Uh-huh.
00:48:04
Kendahl
And. I my wife and I ate an entire large pizza together.
00:48:11
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:48:11
Kendahl
Like stupid.
00:48:11
Julian Contreras Jr
I mean, it's it's stuff like that.
00:48:13
Kendahl
And it's yeah.
00:48:13
Julian Contreras Jr
like
00:48:14
Kendahl
And you finish that and you're just like, what is my problem?
00:48:19
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. Like, after one of the games, you'll stop by. And we're just ranting now.
00:48:23
Kendahl
Hmm.
00:48:24
Julian Contreras Jr
So if you're sticking with us, like we're just two guys talking. That we have our own little struggles with stuff. Okay, mine is that thing where you just, you find something, like we stop in for a drink.
00:48:37
Julian Contreras Jr
And then it's like, oh, there's a freshly made sweet roll right there. And so you try it. And then it's it's amazing. It's not dry at all. It's just been made. They've delivered it to the store to be sold.
00:48:48
Kendahl
Hmm.
00:48:50
Julian Contreras Jr
And so like you just get like one of those the next game. And then the next game, you're like, oh, I should get one for tonight. But but I'm off tomorrow. I should get one for the morning. And then all of a sudden, you're having 16 freaking sweet rolls. OK, it wasn't 16.
00:49:03
Julian Contreras Jr
But I'm just being over-exaggerated.
00:49:06
Kendahl
The title of this show is going to be Now You See the Food, Now You Don't.
00:49:06
Julian Contreras Jr
The motivation...
00:49:10
Kendahl
Mm-hmm.
00:49:11
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
00:49:14
Kendahl
the
00:49:14
Julian Contreras Jr
So, I mean, right before WrestleMania, dude, I was hitting the gym. I was motivated to, like, not get shredded, but shred weight.
00:49:24
Julian Contreras Jr
I was so motivated. i kept going every time. Like, I'd go hang out with my boys, and we'd have those boys' nights where some alcohol was consumed. And then I would still go to the gym the next morning and do my routine. Like even if I was hungover, would still go and have the motivation to go.
00:49:43
Julian Contreras Jr
As soon as I came back from that vacation, Kendall, it was, okay, I'll go for a little bit. And then I just lost all motivation. I don't have anything to look forward to. That sounds really dark. That's not true.
00:49:55
Kendahl
No, I got you.
00:49:55
Julian Contreras Jr
That's not true.
00:49:55
Kendahl
No, no, just it's life gets in the way and it makes it's like, OK, well, that's just it's too much to do that right now. I'll do it next time or next day or later.
00:50:04
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. It's always later.
00:50:07
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:50:08
Julian Contreras Jr
That's going to be the title. It's always later. Now you see me. its Man, but I really hope this, it's it sounds stupid, but I hope this virtual walk challenge helps me stay in the mindset.
00:50:22
Kendahl
send and Send me a link. Send me a link. i'll I'll see what I can do. Because I assume there's like a cost or whatever. and
00:50:29
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, there's there's an amount of money. it is on sale. It's 10% off for the next. i'll I'll text to you after this. But if y'all want to join up, it's Conquer Challenge. And there's a bunch of different ones. For Halloween, the Pennywise one is on sale. I am not sponsored. We are not sponsored.
00:50:44
Julian Contreras Jr
It's just pure fun and in the motivation mindset for myself.
00:50:49
Kendahl
Yeah. Well, I honestly, I joined a walk group at school or at my job, at my work. Right. And then I grew up. We made a a team and we're trying to compete against other teams right now.
00:51:03
Kendahl
And it's the same. But it's the same thing. Right. It's the same idea. It's the same motivation. it's like trying to get something that puts me into that mode to do more physically. Go out there. Go go work.
00:51:14
Kendahl
Go move.
00:51:14
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:51:14
Kendahl
Just do something.
00:51:16
Julian Contreras Jr
Could you imagine if there was the long walk conquer challenge and you had to keep walking? They sent a guy over with a cattle prod that just walked behind you if you fell below three miles an hour.
00:51:28
Kendahl
No, no, no they give you They give you a little bracelet. It zaps you every...
00:51:31
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, yeah, of course. That way they could just do it digitally. Yes, perfect. It would just shock your ankles or wherever you chose to wear this thing.
00:51:38
Kendahl
we're We're not advocating for any of this, by the way. right.
00:51:41
Julian Contreras Jr
No, please don't hurt anyone ever. But yeah, I'll send you the link. If I do a Canva post on this Instagram stuff, I will i will mention it.
00:51:53
Julian Contreras Jr
So if y'all want to get in there, it is cool because when you bring up the virtual map, cause you can see the other walkers that are signed up and how far they are.
00:52:01
Kendahl
Oh, that's cool. That's cool.
00:52:03
Julian Contreras Jr
So this one's cool. It says there's in-app surprises, so I might have an encounter with Pennywise like on here. I don't know.
00:52:09
Kendahl
I
00:52:10
Julian Contreras Jr
I'll have more. But now that I'm done ranting about all that stuff, Kendall, you got anything else for us? I feel like we've talked about these movies.
00:52:18
Julian Contreras Jr
We can't wait to see them. We love magic. November 14th, Now You See Me Now You Don't comes out.
00:52:25
Kendahl
Yeah. You know, I don't i don't have anything anything i haven't ever said before. Honestly, I have found myself just really trying to get into something that I enjoy.
00:52:37
Kendahl
And right now, my big thing has been books. I've really been into books. And so for me, I've been reading a lot. And I just finished an entire a book that actually I didn't even know was a TV series.
00:52:52
Kendahl
And so when I'm fun, when I'm done reading this trilogy, I'll I'll talk about it. But yeah, I I just find something that it makes you, you know, forget about the world a little bit or just forget about your worries, whatever you're doing.
00:53:06
Kendahl
We all have stuff, right? had a really good friend of mine years ago used to say that everybody's got stuff. And for me, my stuff is different than then Julian's stuff.
00:53:17
Kendahl
It's different than, you know, you guys.
00:53:18
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah
00:53:19
Kendahl
And that's that's my escape for right now. And I think everybody just needs to find that. And, you know, the best thing in this world is there's a lot.
00:53:25
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah i i kind of lost my distraction last year i'm going to be honest like i you know how much i love to play disc golf and it got me out there and it was like at least a mile or two every time we go play just walking the course carrying the bag or dragging the cart throwing having good shots possibly acing a hole you know that
00:53:33
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:53:46
Julian Contreras Jr
That ecstatic feeling you got when you made a great shot. And I just lost that this last year. Like the whole year. I think I went like six times total.
00:53:56
Kendahl
Yeah. Yeah.
00:53:57
Julian Contreras Jr
And I don't know why. It was just a whole scheduling thing. And I can't leave my kid home alone. And we have a game. We have practice. We have this. It was always something is what you're saying.
00:54:07
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:54:08
Julian Contreras Jr
I'm going to really try this. It's really way too early to make any new year's resolutions, but I need to get over and find my something.
00:54:18
Kendahl
yeah I think it it changes too. i mean we're I know we're wrapping up the show. I apologize. Thank you for sticking through our rant and raves for the moment. But, you know,
00:54:28
Julian Contreras Jr
I have heard that people like when we're real. So if you're sticking around, this is what's happening.
00:54:30
Kendahl
the
00:54:33
Kendahl
I think the truth is for the two of us, especially at where we are in our age, I think our... the things that you know that that motivates us, the things that that gives us that joy or that release changes as well.
00:54:48
Kendahl
right And that's the hard part too. is just sometimes like right now i mean You and I used to do it together, bowling.
00:54:54
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:54:55
Kendahl
Bowling was a big part of who I was. And i I still bowl every Wednesday, but it's becoming more difficult for me to find that joy in it for whatever reason.
00:55:07
Kendahl
And so I'm needing to find something else. I mean, heck, it used to be video games. I mean, you and I used this to stay up till freaking two, three, four in the morning at one point playing video games, right?
00:55:18
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah
00:55:19
Kendahl
And just chatting away and talking about life and whatever, making fun of Leroy Jenkins.
00:55:28
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, and now if I'm not in bed by 930, I feel terrible the next day.
00:55:28
Kendahl
So...
00:55:34
Kendahl
But I think that's the other thing, too, is that everybody's everybody's motivation changes right as you as you change in your age and your time. And right now with you and i where we are in our lives, our kids are growing up and they're busy.
00:55:45
Kendahl
And so in turn, we're busy. And so, you know, it just is what it is.
00:55:49
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:55:51
Kendahl
But.
00:55:52
Julian Contreras Jr
All right. Well, I know you always like to say love each other, find everything, find your something out there.
00:56:01
Kendahl
Yeah, I mean, and I think.
00:56:01
Julian Contreras Jr
And I'm not trying to take your part of the show here, but...
00:56:04
Kendahl
No, I think, but that's what we were, I think in, in, in the the, the gist of what we were just saying is exactly that. Find your something, find your joy, find your happiness, find your motivator, find your, you know, that thing that gets you out of the house.
00:56:18
Kendahl
If right now you are struggling, cause I get it. There's probably a whole bunch of people right now that are listening to us that have their own struggles, but I guarantee there's that one person right now. That's like, what do I do to make myself happy?
00:56:30
Kendahl
Don't question it. Just find it. Just go do it. Just whatever it takes. Even if you have to if you have to get out of your comfort zone to make it happen, I guarantee you the first time you do it, it'll be surprising how much you enjoy it
00:56:48
Julian Contreras Jr
All right. and Until next time. You want to hear the most annoying sound in the world? Best have.
