On the last episode of The Treehouse Show, Dan declared that Mortal Kombat 2 was awful — and apparently that made some people VERY unhappy.

So Trey watched it over the weekend to settle the debate. The verdict? Dan's taste in movies might be the real problem. Trey actually liked Mortal Kombat 2… although Karl Urban may have been the worst part of it.

That sends us straight into the huge announcement about Days of Thunder 2. Cole Trickle is headed back to the big screen, Anne Hathaway is apparently part of the conversation, and once we establish that Randy Quaid is, in fact, still alive, we ask the bigger question: Can Tom Cruise miss anymore?

Then it's Celebrity Birthdays with Lily Tomlin, a little Dolly Parton discussion, and Zendaya turning 30 while continuing one hell of a career run.

And finally, we head to New Mexico for the Green Chile Sauce Murder — where a man allegedly shot his cousin during an argument over whose green chile sauce was hotter.

Hopefully prison serves red.

It's movies, celebrities, terrible decisions, and completely unnecessary violence over condiments on The Treehouse Show.

Do you have a storage unit that you've been holding

2
00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:05.200

00:00:05.259 --> 00:00:07.379
that this will be the month you finally go close

4
00:00:07.419 --> 00:00:10.070

It is time to leave your worries outside and laugh

16
00:00:55.090 --> 00:00:58.270
with us inside the treehouse. I'm Dan O'Malley along with

17
00:00:58.350 --> 00:01:02.539
Trey Trinholm. Coming up on today's show, it's going to

18
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:09.170
be a banger. We're starting the week hot. Coming up today,

19
00:01:09.329 --> 00:01:15.849
death over enchiladas. Speaking of hot. Also, are we going

20
00:01:15.890 --> 00:01:19.760
to get days of woke thunder? But first up, we

21
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.700
are starting inside the treehouse today with fanning the flames

22
00:01:24.019 --> 00:01:28.760
of the nerd slash gaming community. I had no idea

23
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:33.530
the hornet's nest that I had stirred up last week

24
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.530
when I said that Mortal Kombat 2 was worse than

25
00:01:36.569 --> 00:01:42.629
it looked. Our comment section on social media was on

26
00:01:43.069 --> 00:01:48.969
fire with pissed off gaming movie nerd fans saying it

27
00:01:49.030 --> 00:01:52.480
wasn't that bad, to which I say, if your defense

28
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:55.959
of the film is it wasn't that bad, That's not

29
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.760
a good starting point, but it was really interesting to

30
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:02.379
see how many people got pissed off by me simply

31
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:11.159
saying Mortal Kombat 2 was not good. And Trey, did

32
00:02:11.210 --> 00:02:13.719
you take it upon yourself to watch it?

33
00:02:14.569 --> 00:02:14.759
I did.

34
00:02:15.949 --> 00:02:16.569
What did you think?

35
00:02:18.110 --> 00:02:18.550
I liked it.

36
00:02:18.550 --> 00:02:19.770
Okay.

37
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:22.280
I don't believe you.

38
00:02:22.460 --> 00:02:25.300
Now I think you're just pandering to the comments section.

39
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.919
So now this pains me to say Carl Urban sucked

40
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:38.780
in it. Yes. But now my, my threshold for quality

41
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:45.169
in a mortal combat movie is fairly low, but if

42
00:02:45.210 --> 00:02:51.069
you take Carl, like, first of all, It should be

43
00:02:51.110 --> 00:02:57.629
illegal to have any movie where Carl Urban does not say, okay,

44
00:02:58.509 --> 00:03:00.490
he is the Shakespeare of.

45
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:04.520
You know what? You're right. After his turn as Billy

46
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:08.599
Butcher in the boys, seeing Carl Urban and not hearing

47
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.080
him drop the C bomb feels like a missed opportunity.

48
00:03:11.139 --> 00:03:14.699
It is, especially in a movie that's already got a

49
00:03:14.740 --> 00:03:19.030
hard R there's F bombs everywhere. one good C-bomb would

50
00:03:19.050 --> 00:03:20.750
have gone a long way in that movie.

51
00:03:20.810 --> 00:03:24.960
It would have. I thought he was a poor, just

52
00:03:24.979 --> 00:03:29.960
poor casting, really. And maybe he's just aged. They needed him.

53
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.960
To me, Johnny Cage probably needed to be a little

54
00:03:32.979 --> 00:03:36.969
bit younger. And it was just, he was a little

55
00:03:37.030 --> 00:03:42.389
too gimmicky with him. But all in all, like I said,

56
00:03:43.569 --> 00:03:48.590
I'm not expecting... high-quality dialogue or anything in a Mortal

57
00:03:48.629 --> 00:03:51.430
Kombat movie. I thought the action was good. They killed

58
00:03:51.469 --> 00:03:54.110
off people I wasn't expecting them to kill off. So yeah,

59
00:03:54.449 --> 00:03:56.849
I liked it for what it was.

60
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:02.360
Right. Maybe that was my problem going into it, is

61
00:04:02.500 --> 00:04:07.139
because of how much I enjoyed the previous Mortal Kombat movie,

62
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:11.490
that one raised my expectations a little bit, and Mortal

63
00:04:11.569 --> 00:04:14.710
Kombat 2 fell short of them. I'm with you. I

64
00:04:14.849 --> 00:04:17.490
love Carl Urban. I think he's a fantastic actor in

65
00:04:17.589 --> 00:04:19.829
this role. It just didn't work. I don't know if

66
00:04:19.889 --> 00:04:23.129
it was necessarily his fault or if that's the fault

67
00:04:23.170 --> 00:04:27.730
of the director, whoever that was. But I even told

68
00:04:27.769 --> 00:04:30.410
one of our very good listeners, Jason, who had asked

69
00:04:30.449 --> 00:04:33.009
me and sent me a direct message. He was asking

70
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.420
what about it really just seemed to bother me about

71
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.519
the movie. And I was like, one of the things

72
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:39.079
I took an issue with was.

73
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:40.939
How.

74
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:47.029
how unconvincing Carl Urban was as Johnny Cage. Like there

75
00:04:47.050 --> 00:04:50.449
were parts of the, you know, the fight sequences where

76
00:04:50.490 --> 00:04:54.259
it's clearly Carl Urban because it doesn't look convincing doing it.

77
00:04:54.329 --> 00:04:55.980
Like it looks like it's the first time he's ever

78
00:04:56.019 --> 00:04:59.660
blocked a punch, which I know is not necessarily his

79
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.620
fault because he's been plenty convincing in other roles. So

80
00:05:03.819 --> 00:05:06.050
I don't know why this one would be any different.

81
00:05:06.110 --> 00:05:08.149
So that to me is a product when I'm watching

82
00:05:08.209 --> 00:05:11.019
and I'm thinking like, That's not even very convincing that

83
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.339
he's able to block a punch. That's a problem.

84
00:05:15.819 --> 00:05:22.000
So he's fine in the boys where he's fighting more

85
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:26.839
of just brawling, punching. But as far as martial arts go,

86
00:05:26.899 --> 00:05:29.720
he wasn't convincing. Yeah, you could see times where it

87
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.879
was him and his movement is like a guy in

88
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:34.439
his 50s.

89
00:05:35.860 --> 00:05:39.240
Yeah, it's hard to move like that. Guess what? It's

90
00:05:39.259 --> 00:05:43.019
hard to get out of bed, let alone doing a

91
00:05:43.060 --> 00:05:43.939
standing front flip.

92
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:50.139
So that was probably the one part I found somewhat disappointing.

93
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.250
The rest of it, like I said, I thought it

94
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:58.509
was pretty solid. Again, for a Mortal Kombat movie.

95
00:05:59.310 --> 00:06:04.709
And keeping in mind, yeah, I'm not expecting Shakespeare out

96
00:06:04.750 --> 00:06:07.610
of this film. I just had higher expectations, and I

97
00:06:07.649 --> 00:06:09.649
thought some of the writing... some of the writing had

98
00:06:09.689 --> 00:06:12.990
some good self-aware moments, but the movie didn't feel completely

99
00:06:13.069 --> 00:06:15.660
self-aware as it should have been. There were times where

100
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.500
it felt stuck in between trying to be, you know,

101
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.500
like this Mortal Kombat movie versus a self-aware tongue in

102
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:26.040
cheek aspect of a, you know, of an adaptation of

103
00:06:26.100 --> 00:06:30.959
a video game. Um, well, some of the acting I

104
00:06:30.990 --> 00:06:33.370
thought was just so bad. Even I couldn't get past.

105
00:06:33.410 --> 00:06:39.100
I was like, Jesus, this person's talking. I, To me,

106
00:06:39.139 --> 00:06:42.959
all the bad parts really centered around Carl Urban and

107
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:49.050
Johnny Cage. Everything else I thought was... Yeah, there was

108
00:06:49.930 --> 00:06:50.970
some stiff acting.

109
00:06:53.629 --> 00:06:58.209
The stiffest acting, unironically, was the guy with the robot arms.

110
00:07:01.779 --> 00:07:02.120
But I.

111
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:06.949
So that character to me has always been... stiff i

112
00:07:06.970 --> 00:07:13.370
mean the military guy that didn't bother me um i just.

113
00:07:13.269 --> 00:07:15.350
Thought it was fascinating how you know you said that

114
00:07:15.410 --> 00:07:17.610
you thought it looked really really awful and i said

115
00:07:17.649 --> 00:07:19.370
that it looks work that it was worse than it

116
00:07:19.410 --> 00:07:23.290
looked and that got the comment section all fired up um.

117
00:07:23.870 --> 00:07:27.449
Oh yeah they they no one was happy with you

118
00:07:27.509 --> 00:07:29.870
really you had you had a one or two people

119
00:07:29.910 --> 00:07:31.800
that that agreed with you other than that it was

120
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:33.639
a pretty sound uh.

121
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.220
I took a shellacking in the comments section. I just

122
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:42.639
needed someone else to come up and finish me. But see,

123
00:07:43.050 --> 00:07:44.790
now a lot of those people don't know how big

124
00:07:44.819 --> 00:07:47.050
of a deal, because those are just online people, right?

125
00:07:47.550 --> 00:07:51.110
Not all of them are listeners. So those people that

126
00:07:51.290 --> 00:07:53.589
are our listeners know that for me to say a

127
00:07:53.629 --> 00:07:58.230
movie was genuinely bad, it takes a lot, right? Like

128
00:07:58.290 --> 00:08:00.769
I can call a movie bad and say it's bad,

129
00:08:00.870 --> 00:08:03.069
but I can still say I liked it and here

130
00:08:03.089 --> 00:08:05.959
are the reasons why. This one was just, to me,

131
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:10.579
it was just, it was so bad that it wasn't

132
00:08:10.660 --> 00:08:11.480
redeemable enough.

133
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:13.509
It just goes to show you how bad your taste

134
00:08:13.550 --> 00:08:14.110
in movies is.

135
00:08:17.350 --> 00:08:21.750
I disagree. Now, like Jason had mentioned, Jason, he and

136
00:08:21.790 --> 00:08:24.509
I exchanged a couple of messages on Instagram, and he

137
00:08:24.589 --> 00:08:25.850
asked me, he was like, what part of the movie,

138
00:08:25.870 --> 00:08:27.389
you know, turned you off personally? And I told him,

139
00:08:27.410 --> 00:08:30.000
I was like, the fight stuff with Carl Urban was

140
00:08:30.060 --> 00:08:33.019
silly looking. Some of the writing stuff, I told you

141
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:36.809
kind of already. Um, and he actually brought up a

142
00:08:36.830 --> 00:08:39.250
good point. Uh, Jason said, I wasn't too keen on him.

143
00:08:39.370 --> 00:08:43.340
Carl urban being Johnny cage. I personally thought the Ms

144
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:44.740
would be a good fit for the role.

145
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:46.980
I agree.

146
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:50.379
I think that would have been a more interesting casting choice, uh,

147
00:08:50.419 --> 00:08:55.080
for Johnny cage in this movie. Definitely would have been

148
00:08:55.100 --> 00:08:56.519
a lot more convincing with the fighting.

149
00:08:59.139 --> 00:09:01.559
I just am not that familiar with the Ms. I

150
00:09:01.580 --> 00:09:05.610
know he's a wrestler. Um, I think there definitely could have, there,

151
00:09:05.690 --> 00:09:06.789
there were better choices.

152
00:09:07.730 --> 00:09:13.090
Um, and it started to me, but the casting of

153
00:09:13.149 --> 00:09:15.629
Carl Urban got you and me more interested in the

154
00:09:15.690 --> 00:09:17.350
movie than I think I would have been otherwise. I

155
00:09:17.409 --> 00:09:19.649
still would have seen it, but I had a heightened

156
00:09:19.750 --> 00:09:22.289
interest because it was, uh, Carl Urban.

157
00:09:22.889 --> 00:09:30.330
Yeah. And Carl Urban 10 years ago, probably it's a better,

158
00:09:30.529 --> 00:09:34.909
it's a different choice. Um, but yeah, I, he was

159
00:09:34.950 --> 00:09:36.529
by far and away the worst part of the movie

160
00:09:36.909 --> 00:09:39.600
and it, and it kills me to say that, but, uh,

161
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:45.600
it was, I understand where he was kind of over

162
00:09:45.659 --> 00:09:52.909
the top with the role. Yeah. But it was to

163
00:09:52.950 --> 00:09:55.149
me that the Johnny Cage character, yeah, it has to

164
00:09:55.190 --> 00:09:57.490
be over the top, but also needs to actually fight.

165
00:09:58.029 --> 00:10:03.220
I mean, I go back 25, 30 years ago, that

166
00:10:03.980 --> 00:10:08.080
is a Jean-Claude Van Damme role to a T.

167
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.259
Especially with the splits. I mean, I'm pretty sure that

168
00:10:11.299 --> 00:10:14.080
that's where they got Johnny Cage's move was from Bloodsport.

169
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.090
Same way that they think that Raiden's character from Mortal

170
00:10:18.149 --> 00:10:21.710
Kombat was directly lifted from Bloodsport. Big Trouble in Little China,

171
00:10:21.789 --> 00:10:26.820
which we all think there's no question in that. So

172
00:10:26.980 --> 00:10:29.679
now we go from Mortal Kombat 2 news into other

173
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:33.299
sequel news that popped over the weekend. And that was

174
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:37.000
the announcement on social media from Tom Cruise and Anne

175
00:10:37.059 --> 00:10:41.309
Hathaway about Days of Thunder 2.

176
00:10:41.309 --> 00:10:43.409
I think it's on. Annie?

177
00:10:44.389 --> 00:10:44.490
Annie.

178
00:10:44.509 --> 00:10:46.470
It looks on to me.

179
00:10:47.990 --> 00:10:50.350
You think? It looks on. Trying to do a camera.

180
00:10:55.419 --> 00:11:01.620
They back away from the camera and they show NASCAR

181
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:04.419
stock car, Ace of Thunder, summer 2028.

182
00:11:04.419 --> 00:11:06.850
Now what? Now what?

183
00:11:07.590 --> 00:11:10.470
Let's make the movie, now what? I'm going to have

184
00:11:10.490 --> 00:11:12.029
this baby and then we're going to make this movie.

185
00:11:12.049 --> 00:11:12.789
That's a good idea.

186
00:11:12.950 --> 00:11:15.289
You have the baby, then we'll go make the movie.

187
00:11:15.409 --> 00:11:21.289
We're coming out summer of 2028. Don't be late. Are

188
00:11:21.350 --> 00:11:26.899
you sure you want to go with that?

189
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:28.039
I don't know. I'm trying.

190
00:11:28.059 --> 00:11:29.259
Whatever happens.

191
00:11:29.620 --> 00:11:30.659
I think it's on. Annie?

192
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:32.480
Annie.

193
00:11:32.580 --> 00:11:36.899
So, look, Sean. Number one, the thing that surprised me

194
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:40.070
about that more than anything else, that is the oldest

195
00:11:40.110 --> 00:11:47.049
I've ever seen Tom Cruise look. Yep. I have read,

196
00:11:47.070 --> 00:11:52.769
so I love Days of Thunder. Mm-hmm. It is just

197
00:11:53.049 --> 00:11:58.870
in that Tom Cruise wheelhouse of late 80s fantastic movies

198
00:11:59.190 --> 00:11:59.470
for me.

199
00:12:00.409 --> 00:12:02.740
The original came out 1990. Okay.

200
00:12:03.700 --> 00:12:11.460
But yeah. And after what he did with Maverick, Top

201
00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:16.840
Gun Maverick, I'm all for it. Now, I have seen

202
00:12:16.899 --> 00:12:21.309
things about their calling it like, Days of Woke Thunder

203
00:12:21.429 --> 00:12:27.429
or something like that, which I don't know. I didn't

204
00:12:27.470 --> 00:12:30.129
read anything about it, so I'm at a loss for it.

205
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.259
You want the context for Days of Woke Thunder?

206
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:38.179
Sure.

207
00:12:39.340 --> 00:12:45.740
The controversy stems from Days of Thunder 1 co-star Randy Quaid.

208
00:12:48.809 --> 00:12:53.289
He says the selection of Anne Hathaway in the sequel

209
00:12:53.330 --> 00:12:58.649
to Days of Thunder is a huge mistake. It's because

210
00:12:58.690 --> 00:13:02.509
she's a leftist woke person and that what they should

211
00:13:02.529 --> 00:13:06.659
have done was had Nicole Kidman back in the film

212
00:13:06.820 --> 00:13:12.120
opposite Tom Cruise. So one of his posts on.

213
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:14.500
Randy Quaid is still alive.

214
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:20.039
He is. He is still. He's still tweeting. He got

215
00:13:20.100 --> 00:13:23.799
on social media and reposted, you know, Tom and Anne

216
00:13:23.820 --> 00:13:26.460
Hathaway's video the same way that you just heard us

217
00:13:26.500 --> 00:13:31.570
do right then. And he says, I believe the first

218
00:13:31.629 --> 00:13:35.409
post was, we need Nicole back. Don't be a pussy,

219
00:13:35.470 --> 00:13:39.350
Tom Cruise. You need the original girl. It's not personal.

220
00:13:39.490 --> 00:13:46.960
It's film. It's not personal. It's filmmaking. Anne isn't sexy. because,

221
00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:51.629
and if you haven't noticed, she's pregnant. He doubled down

222
00:13:51.750 --> 00:13:54.730
on that by saying, Anne Hathaway is a leftist, woke,

223
00:13:54.789 --> 00:13:58.330
horrible choice for Days of Thunder, NASCAR audience who are MAGA.

224
00:13:58.830 --> 00:14:01.350
The sexy older chick for Tom in this film needs

225
00:14:01.389 --> 00:14:04.309
to be Nicole. That's the casting that would sell the idea.

226
00:14:04.429 --> 00:14:07.470
It's interesting because when we made the first one, there

227
00:14:07.509 --> 00:14:10.629
was also a rush to get it out. Editors slept

228
00:14:10.750 --> 00:14:13.600
in the cutting room on shifts. This is a weird thing,

229
00:14:13.940 --> 00:14:17.379
like they want it to come out and tank. So

230
00:14:19.490 --> 00:14:22.610
Randy Quaid has, has made the days of thunder to

231
00:14:22.649 --> 00:14:26.210
announcement into a political firestorm. So we're not, I don't

232
00:14:26.230 --> 00:14:29.070
know necessarily a firestorm, but in his mind, it's a firestorm.

233
00:14:30.190 --> 00:14:32.700
He basically just says, you know, you've got Anne Hathaway

234
00:14:32.750 --> 00:14:35.899
who is a super liberal and it seems silly to

235
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:38.779
cast a super liberal liberal in a film that is

236
00:14:38.820 --> 00:14:42.220
going to be cared about mostly by conservatives who love NASCAR.

237
00:14:43.419 --> 00:14:47.379
Oh, I think that's, I mean, first of all, Randy

238
00:14:47.419 --> 00:14:51.379
Quaid lost his mind. How long ago?

239
00:14:51.379 --> 00:14:53.830
15 years, probably.

240
00:14:53.850 --> 00:14:56.289
I mean, I know we were on the radio at

241
00:14:56.330 --> 00:14:57.370
the time. I don't remember.

242
00:14:57.389 --> 00:15:01.190
He was releasing videos of him screwing his wife, wearing

243
00:15:01.210 --> 00:15:03.230
like horse masks and stuff. I mean, it was just,

244
00:15:03.250 --> 00:15:04.230
it was a really weird stuff.

245
00:15:04.250 --> 00:15:07.350
Well, then he, I mean, he went on some rants on,

246
00:15:07.649 --> 00:15:11.549
and then he like escaped to Canada or I don't remember.

247
00:15:11.580 --> 00:15:13.240
It was, but he was just bizarre.

248
00:15:13.820 --> 00:15:21.139
Going through some of his recent posts, he's now very anti-Canada.

249
00:15:21.899 --> 00:15:25.409
Anne Hathaway's on a roll right now, so I totally

250
00:15:25.429 --> 00:15:27.070
understand why they cast her.

251
00:15:27.870 --> 00:15:37.250
And calling her not sexy because she's pregnant, it's like, dude. Obviously,

252
00:15:38.169 --> 00:15:39.929
he doesn't care what he says and whether or not

253
00:15:39.970 --> 00:15:44.879
he offends somebody, but it's like, first of all, Anne

254
00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:49.740
Hathaway versus Nicole Kidman, any day of the week, it's

255
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:54.639
Anne Hathaway. I don't care what time frame, what era,

256
00:15:56.450 --> 00:15:57.909
I will die on the Anne Hathaway hill.

257
00:16:00.289 --> 00:16:06.809
I would take Nicole Kidman back then, but number one, huh?

258
00:16:08.309 --> 00:16:08.789
Sure, mm-hmm.

259
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:13.190
But number one, I don't think Nicole Kidman and Tom

260
00:16:13.230 --> 00:16:16.850
Cruise have spoken since they divorced. So to think that

261
00:16:17.389 --> 00:16:19.649
they're going to do a movie together is laughable.

262
00:16:22.149 --> 00:16:24.549
It really is ridiculous. Like for Randy Quaid to say

263
00:16:24.590 --> 00:16:27.820
in one sentence, it's not personal, it's filmmaking. And then

264
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:31.639
in the very next sentence say, Annie isn't sexy. It's like, well,

265
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:33.980
that's a very personal thing that you're saying. It's a

266
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:37.830
personal opinion and it's a personal thing against her. And

267
00:16:38.009 --> 00:16:40.889
it ultimately doesn't matter because in filmmaking, you do have

268
00:16:40.909 --> 00:16:43.580
to have a good working relationship with someone. And some

269
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:45.399
people may not work good with their ex-wives.

270
00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:49.019
Yeah. Especially when you haven't spoken in over 20 years.

271
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:53.220
And I don't think Anne Hathaway is sexy per se.

272
00:16:53.460 --> 00:16:58.539
I think she's really, I think she's beautiful. But I

273
00:16:58.580 --> 00:17:02.179
have faith in Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise has got to

274
00:17:02.250 --> 00:17:04.089
know he's coming to the end of his run as

275
00:17:04.130 --> 00:17:09.519
an action star. So, This movie makes perfect sense to me.

276
00:17:11.500 --> 00:17:14.519
Everything he has done as of late has been gold,

277
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.019
so I have no reason to think that they won't

278
00:17:18.700 --> 00:17:21.940
make this one great. I'm with you.

279
00:17:21.980 --> 00:17:23.869
Aside from... I'm sorry, go ahead.

280
00:17:24.349 --> 00:17:25.950
I don't think you need to be a NASCAR fan

281
00:17:26.009 --> 00:17:29.529
in order to want to see Days of Thunder 2.

282
00:17:29.710 --> 00:17:32.190
I wasn't a NASCAR fan when Days of Thunder came out,

283
00:17:32.309 --> 00:17:34.170
nor did it even make me a NASCAR fan at

284
00:17:34.190 --> 00:17:38.970
the time, but... So, yeah, I think that's also stupid.

285
00:17:39.869 --> 00:17:43.849
I'm right there with you. So Tom Cruise is responsible

286
00:17:44.390 --> 00:17:47.259
for keeping me in a refrigerator box for like two

287
00:17:47.299 --> 00:17:51.180
years of my childhood. One, because of Top Gun, I

288
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:54.039
would get in that refrigerator box and pretend I was

289
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:56.619
in an F-14 Tomcat. And then when Days of Thunder

290
00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.180
came out, I got to pretend I was cold trickle

291
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.690
going around the track, going toe to toe with Rowdy.

292
00:18:03.420 --> 00:18:07.039
or uh the guy from the princess bride carrie elwes

293
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:10.740
uh i loved days of thunder and like you trey

294
00:18:11.329 --> 00:18:14.190
it did not turn me into a nascar fan but

295
00:18:14.309 --> 00:18:16.670
i loved that movie so when i saw the announcement

296
00:18:16.730 --> 00:18:19.769
over the weekend i actually got chills i couldn't believe

297
00:18:19.809 --> 00:18:21.730
it was like i got chills for a nascar thing

298
00:18:21.750 --> 00:18:24.150
that i'm not even i don't watch races or anything

299
00:18:24.170 --> 00:18:26.799
but based on a movie i'm like god i can't

300
00:18:26.859 --> 00:18:28.019
wait for this fire up the.

301
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:36.119
As far as casting goes, they've got to have the

302
00:18:36.220 --> 00:18:39.839
good heel, you know, bad guy, which to me, there's

303
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:42.920
one person they should cast. If they were going to

304
00:18:42.940 --> 00:18:49.480
try to do that kind of Carrie Elway's role, Glenn Powell. Yeah.

305
00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:50.809
I'm with you there.

306
00:18:51.710 --> 00:18:55.730
He would be more perfect casting choice. Yeah.

307
00:18:56.069 --> 00:18:58.809
Because he, because he was sort of that in top

308
00:18:58.849 --> 00:19:04.579
gun Maverick. Uh, so, uh, doing it again would certainly fit. Um,

309
00:19:06.220 --> 00:19:08.680
don't know what they're going to do story wise, but

310
00:19:08.809 --> 00:19:12.750
according to some early reports and Hathaway's character is going

311
00:19:12.769 --> 00:19:15.809
to be, I believe a team owner and engineer. Don't

312
00:19:15.910 --> 00:19:19.650
know if she's going to necessarily be a love interest

313
00:19:19.809 --> 00:19:23.119
or if she perhaps might be a competing team owner.

314
00:19:23.180 --> 00:19:25.420
Maybe she's sort of the bad guy in the situation.

315
00:19:25.819 --> 00:19:30.460
We don't know, have no idea what the story, uh, holds. Um,

316
00:19:31.259 --> 00:19:33.980
But I do know, like you said, Trey, I'm with you.

317
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:37.039
Like Tom Cruise is probably realizing he's at the end

318
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:39.769
of some of his action days. So he's going back

319
00:19:39.809 --> 00:19:44.650
through his catalog thinking, OK, what can I remake? The

320
00:19:44.690 --> 00:19:48.190
way we did Top Gun and really deliver for fans

321
00:19:48.250 --> 00:19:51.400
of these films and Days of Thunder 2. 2 hell yes.

322
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:54.400
Listen there have been people asking for a Days of

323
00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:57.519
Thunder sequel for just about as long as they were

324
00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:01.339
a Top Gun sequel yeah and now it'll be really

325
00:20:01.380 --> 00:20:07.390
curious because if Tom Cruise tries to be the driver

326
00:20:07.410 --> 00:20:11.009
of It's going to be a complete suspension of disbelief

327
00:20:11.140 --> 00:20:15.589
because NASCAR drivers, you just, you lose it at a

328
00:20:15.609 --> 00:20:20.809
certain point. I mean, especially past 50, it ain't happening.

329
00:20:21.430 --> 00:20:23.930
And maybe that's going to be the point of the

330
00:20:24.009 --> 00:20:26.569
film is like people convincing him. It's like, dude, you

331
00:20:26.589 --> 00:20:28.150
got to give it up. No, no, I just need

332
00:20:28.250 --> 00:20:30.910
one more ride. And maybe that'll be the film and

333
00:20:30.930 --> 00:20:33.809
it'll be that thin. But because of the success of

334
00:20:33.849 --> 00:20:37.730
Top Gun Maverick, and even in addition to that, The

335
00:20:37.769 --> 00:20:40.930
success that he's had with the entire Mission Impossible series,

336
00:20:41.190 --> 00:20:42.970
when you go back and watch them, it's easy to

337
00:20:43.049 --> 00:20:45.750
point back if you've never seen them and point about

338
00:20:45.789 --> 00:20:48.650
how ridiculous this many sequels to a franchise there are.

339
00:20:49.069 --> 00:20:52.859
But when you actually watch them, they're really good. And

340
00:20:52.940 --> 00:20:55.220
part of the reason they're really good is because of

341
00:20:55.259 --> 00:20:58.680
Tom Cruise and also his producing and writing partner, Christopher McQuarrie.

342
00:20:59.259 --> 00:21:02.519
That dude, those two together do some really good work.

343
00:21:03.220 --> 00:21:05.839
And so I'm fired up about Days of Thunder, too.

344
00:21:06.269 --> 00:21:08.549
And it also gets me thinking, OK, well, if Tom

345
00:21:08.609 --> 00:21:10.789
Cruise is going through his catalog thinking, OK, what can

346
00:21:10.829 --> 00:21:13.670
I start making sequels out of? What else would I

347
00:21:13.710 --> 00:21:16.450
like to see Tom Cruise revisit? Like, are we going

348
00:21:16.490 --> 00:21:19.509
to get, you know, Color of Money 2 or My

349
00:21:19.569 --> 00:21:26.529
Wife's Worst Nightmare Cocktail 2? Because as a bartender, when

350
00:21:26.549 --> 00:21:31.109
she was like 18, 17, 18 years old, it cocktail

351
00:21:31.190 --> 00:21:34.829
was required watching for her starting out in bars because

352
00:21:34.869 --> 00:21:37.410
they wanted her to do flair and she's like I

353
00:21:37.450 --> 00:21:42.890
don't do flair I make drinks so she hates that movie.

354
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:47.460
Yeah everyone after cocktail was trying to flip bottles uh

355
00:21:47.859 --> 00:21:50.140
I figured it doesn't end up well for anybody I

356
00:21:50.259 --> 00:21:52.640
figured you were gonna want risky business too.

357
00:21:56.380 --> 00:21:58.990
Because of Tom Cruise and his underwear dancing in the living.

358
00:21:58.809 --> 00:22:02.750
Room yep Thanks for answering that.

359
00:22:06.309 --> 00:22:13.559
Gotta admit, I did not see that coming. Let's get

360
00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:16.400

361
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:19.980
tree house for your free roof inspection and property review.

362
00:22:20.539 --> 00:22:25.819
Call 833-COOK-DFW today to get that scheduled. 833-COOK-DFW. The website

363
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:31.130
is cookdfw.com. Daniel Cook. Part of the roofing process is

364
00:22:31.250 --> 00:22:35.029
knowing about ventilation and how important that can be to

365
00:22:35.069 --> 00:22:37.710
the life of the roof. That's something you guys look at.

366
00:22:37.789 --> 00:22:40.400
It's not just about shingles. Absolutely, Dan.

367
00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:44.920
A lot of homeowners underestimate the amount of attic heat

368
00:22:45.220 --> 00:22:48.759
buildup that their home has. It affects their AC system,

369
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:53.730
affects their roof condition long-term, affects just overall their home.

370
00:22:53.829 --> 00:22:54.130
And so.

371
00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:57.140
When we come out, we make that assessment with the homeowner.

372
00:22:57.160 --> 00:22:59.200
We try to educate them, make sure they have the

373
00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:02.809
proper ventilation. There is a calculation of this. We walk

374
00:23:02.829 --> 00:23:04.769
them around. If they're interested in going around, we show

375
00:23:04.789 --> 00:23:06.950
them what their intakes look like, what their exhaust system

376
00:23:06.970 --> 00:23:09.309
looks like, and try to make the best fit for

377
00:23:09.329 --> 00:23:11.490
their home. So that's a very common thing that we do,

378
00:23:11.529 --> 00:23:13.650
and it should be done every time you have construction

379
00:23:13.670 --> 00:23:15.789
done at your property. You need to be educated on

380
00:23:15.849 --> 00:23:17.289
what's happening and why.

381
00:23:18.529 --> 00:23:21.490
And if you've ever dealt with a roofing contractor that

382
00:23:21.710 --> 00:23:26.960
didn't have a conversation with you about ventilation underneath that

383
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:30.890

400
00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:43.029
that today, 833-COOK-DFW. I was also thinking of other Tom

401
00:24:43.220 --> 00:24:45.809
Cruise sequels that might be interesting to see, all the

402
00:24:45.849 --> 00:24:48.210
right moves too. Maybe he has to go into coaching.

403
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:55.240
You get sucked back into the doldrums of Western Pennsylvania,

404
00:24:55.279 --> 00:25:01.160
I think is where that one took place. Also, Rain

405
00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:04.579
Man 2. You can make that. Dustin Hoffman's still alive.

406
00:25:08.309 --> 00:25:08.680
For now.

407
00:25:12.089 --> 00:25:16.150
God, I haven't seen... I haven't seen in ages. I'm

408
00:25:16.190 --> 00:25:20.190
assuming he's not doing... Terribly well.

409
00:25:20.849 --> 00:25:23.089
I have no idea, but if we're being honest, even

410
00:25:23.150 --> 00:25:26.470
if he's semi-incapacitated, it might kind of lean into the role.

411
00:25:36.500 --> 00:25:43.400
The movie I would love for him to make, and

412
00:25:43.420 --> 00:25:49.160
they should have done it years ago, was... A Les

413
00:25:49.220 --> 00:25:58.730
Grossman feature. Yes. His character from Tropic Thunder. Now that's

414
00:25:58.769 --> 00:26:03.210
a movie. They can't. I think we're nearing a point

415
00:26:03.230 --> 00:26:04.569
where you might be able to make that again.

416
00:26:04.589 --> 00:26:07.730
I think you can. I think Hollywood is so sensitive

417
00:26:07.750 --> 00:26:10.819
to certain things. They're overly sensitive to it. If you

418
00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:13.259
just grew a pair and just said, you know what?

419
00:26:13.299 --> 00:26:16.460
We're going to do this. Yes, we know it's ridiculous,

420
00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:19.289
but you lean into the ridiculous factor the way the

421
00:26:19.329 --> 00:26:21.930
first Tropic Thunder did. People are okay with it.

422
00:26:21.970 --> 00:26:24.690
Especially if Robert Downey Jr. would do the role again.

423
00:26:30.910 --> 00:26:35.900
It's all about context. I mean, even back in 08, 09,

424
00:26:35.900 --> 00:26:38.509
when that movie first came out, when we heard Robert

425
00:26:38.549 --> 00:26:41.039
Downey Jr. and saw a trailer that he was, that

426
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:44.119
he was in blackface, even back then we were like, Whoa,

427
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:46.880
that's not, you don't do that, dude. That's, that's, you don't, that's,

428
00:26:46.940 --> 00:26:50.819
that's not cool. They were quick to point out, hang on.

429
00:26:51.980 --> 00:26:54.299
This is a guy who's a method actor. So it's

430
00:26:54.420 --> 00:26:57.400
not that it's doing like the Al Jolson, jazz singer,

431
00:26:57.569 --> 00:27:00.509
you know, racist trope kind of a thing it is,

432
00:27:00.589 --> 00:27:03.289
but they're making fun of Hollywood actors doing that sort

433
00:27:03.329 --> 00:27:05.869
of thing, being such a method actor that he's doing

434
00:27:05.910 --> 00:27:06.549
all these things.

435
00:27:08.309 --> 00:27:08.769
I loved it.

436
00:27:08.849 --> 00:27:11.150
It was brilliant. And even if anyone that might have

437
00:27:11.190 --> 00:27:14.890
been leaning towards being offended by it, once you see

438
00:27:14.930 --> 00:27:16.809
it and how it was done, you're like, all right,

439
00:27:16.849 --> 00:27:23.460
that's just pretty funny. But yeah, I'm with you. A

440
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:27.259
Les Grossman spinoff movie of some kind. Oh, God, I

441
00:27:27.299 --> 00:27:31.960
wish they would do that now. Maybe in Days of

442
00:27:32.009 --> 00:27:35.509
Thunder 2, Tom Cruise has a dual.

443
00:27:37.130 --> 00:27:40.190
He has to reprise his role as Cole Trickle, but

444
00:27:40.230 --> 00:27:45.539
he also reprises Les Grossman from Tropic Thunder, who gets

445
00:27:45.740 --> 00:27:50.440
into NASCAR racing. Maybe he's the bad guy team owner.

446
00:27:55.140 --> 00:27:56.279
Days of Tropic Thunder.

447
00:27:56.299 --> 00:27:57.819
Oh, yeah.

448
00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:00.920
I would love that. I want to see that.

449
00:28:01.180 --> 00:28:02.420
Yeah, no one would call that woke.

450
00:28:03.019 --> 00:28:06.809
Yeah. They might call it some things, but it ain't

451
00:28:06.829 --> 00:28:07.529
going to be woke.

452
00:28:07.710 --> 00:28:09.609
All right.

453
00:28:09.710 --> 00:28:15.859
Today is, shockingly so, Tuesday, September 1st, 2026. Holy crap,

454
00:28:15.890 --> 00:28:25.240
it's September. Let's celebrate today with some birthdays. I believe

455
00:28:25.259 --> 00:28:30.559
she's still kicking. Lily Tomlin, 87. Comedy legend from Laugh-In,

456
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:34.779
9 to 5. which Dolly Parton was in. Rest in

457
00:28:34.819 --> 00:28:37.799
peace to Dolly. Grace and Frankie and the voice of Ms.

458
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:40.119
Frizzle on the Magic School Bus. Lily Tomlin.

459
00:28:40.740 --> 00:28:43.640
Yeah, because they just, I think they just quit doing

460
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:49.589
Grace and Frankie, Frankie and Grace, whatever it was. 2022,

461
00:28:50.710 --> 00:28:51.450
I think.

462
00:28:51.950 --> 00:28:52.650
Yeah, it was recent.

463
00:28:52.910 --> 00:28:54.609
Yeah.

464
00:28:54.650 --> 00:28:55.089
Interesting.

465
00:28:56.190 --> 00:29:01.630
You know, AMC is putting Steel Magnolias did not surprise me.

466
00:29:02.009 --> 00:29:04.059
As a Dolly tribute, they're putting that back in theaters.

467
00:29:05.170 --> 00:29:05.630
Hell yeah.

468
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:08.460
But they're also putting back... And I really want to

469
00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:09.920
go watch this movie again because I was probably too

470
00:29:09.980 --> 00:29:12.140
young to really appreciate it. So they're putting Best Little

471
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:13.539
Whorehouse in Texas back in theaters.

472
00:29:14.059 --> 00:29:19.500
Hell yeah. Good for them. It's interesting, though, because I'm

473
00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:26.619
always fascinated because Steel Magnolias is such an interesting movie because...

474
00:29:27.650 --> 00:29:31.279
I don't know of all the chick drama type films

475
00:29:31.339 --> 00:29:36.829
that came out in that era that men gravitated towards

476
00:29:36.910 --> 00:29:41.279
and really, really enjoyed, like Steel Magic. like there were

477
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:44.720
other like Beaches is like the chick drama thing that's

478
00:29:44.779 --> 00:29:47.940
not like there aren't any typical guys going like god

479
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:50.380
I love Bette Midler she's the wind beneath my wings

480
00:29:51.099 --> 00:29:53.500
they're not doing that with Beaches I didn't do that

481
00:29:53.539 --> 00:29:55.700
with Joy Luck Club that my mom made me watch

482
00:29:55.769 --> 00:29:59.069
in three hours I'll never get back but Steel Magnolias, Trey,

483
00:29:59.109 --> 00:30:03.089
you and I both love Steel Magnolias. Such a great movie.

484
00:30:03.250 --> 00:30:05.859
And it's, and it shouldn't be geared towards.

485
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:12.160
No, but I think so of all those movies, the

486
00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:15.240
one movie I did lie and it was a chick

487
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:19.849
flick and sad, uh, but also funny at times was

488
00:30:19.890 --> 00:30:25.160
terms of endearment. Um, But I also, I think Steel

489
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:27.670
Magnolias plays on the fact that we grew up with

490
00:30:27.710 --> 00:30:34.750
Golden Girls. Yep. And the writing in Steel Magnolias, especially

491
00:30:34.849 --> 00:30:39.170
between Olympia Dukakis and Shirley MacLaine, and just a lot

492
00:30:39.190 --> 00:30:44.579
of it centered around Shirley MacLaine was just brilliant. You know,

493
00:30:46.259 --> 00:30:50.309
one of my all-time favorite lines, you know, Shirley MacLaine of, Oh,

494
00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:52.119
I'm sure he's a real gentleman. He takes the dishes

495
00:30:52.160 --> 00:31:05.279
out of the sink before he pees in it. That....

496
00:30:59.329 --> 00:31:00.490
That line still slaps.

497
00:31:01.690 --> 00:31:11.390
Always will. Yeah. So... I was probably, again, too young

498
00:31:11.410 --> 00:31:15.470
to really appreciate 9 to 5, which I want to

499
00:31:15.509 --> 00:31:18.859
go back and see. But yeah, Steel Magnolias, that is

500
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:22.890
a movie... I don't care if you really watch it.

501
00:31:22.940 --> 00:31:24.640
And if you don't go in with just a bias,

502
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:25.720
it's funny.

503
00:31:26.700 --> 00:31:30.880
Oh, it's hysterical. Especially if you're from the South, because

504
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:32.859
then it has an extra layer to it because, you know,

505
00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:35.839
people like that. And you've seen some situations like that.

506
00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:39.599
Other birthdays today. The last surviving Gibb brother from the

507
00:31:39.660 --> 00:31:43.619
Bee Gees. Barry Gibb is 80. Congratulations to him. From

508
00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:50.869
the Miami Sound Machine. Gloria Estefan is 69. Uh, Conway

509
00:31:50.930 --> 00:31:55.150
Twitty would have been 93, but he passed away in 93.

510
00:31:55.150 --> 00:31:59.609
My grandma's favorite Conway Twitty. It's interesting. We were mentioning, uh,

511
00:31:59.910 --> 00:32:02.309
Bette Midler. She has, I don't even know who did

512
00:32:02.349 --> 00:32:07.009
the original song, the rose, but I think Conway did

513
00:32:07.029 --> 00:32:09.450
it before Bette Midler did it. Bette Midler did it.

514
00:32:09.549 --> 00:32:12.410
I don't know who the original singer songwriter is of

515
00:32:12.470 --> 00:32:18.099
that song, but, uh, two great versions, honestly, of that song. Uh,

516
00:32:19.099 --> 00:32:22.680
scott speedman is 51 he's best known as ben from

517
00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:27.289
felicity he was also in underworld uh i didn't also

518
00:32:27.349 --> 00:32:28.470
gray's anatomy i.

519
00:32:28.450 --> 00:32:30.589
Didn't realize conway twitty was that young when he.

520
00:32:30.609 --> 00:32:33.450
Died i didn't either i thought you know to me

521
00:32:33.470 --> 00:32:35.670
he all he well he always seemed old but yeah.

522
00:32:36.430 --> 00:32:37.869
Yeah so he was god he was in his 50s

523
00:32:37.890 --> 00:32:40.359
yeah 93 that's not 30.

524
00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:51.630
So yeah he was 59 60 wow Yeah. Dr. Phil

525
00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:57.920
is 76. And Padma Lakshmi, longtime former now host of

526
00:32:57.980 --> 00:33:01.519
Top Chef, is 56. Still... I.

527
00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:04.599
Think she still maintains executive producer on that show, though.

528
00:33:04.619 --> 00:33:08.619
Does she? I think so. I think I read where.

529
00:33:09.509 --> 00:33:11.470
I don't remember because we just watched... We've watched the

530
00:33:11.509 --> 00:33:15.569
last couple of seasons since she's left. I don't know

531
00:33:15.650 --> 00:33:16.890
if I remember seeing her name on there.

532
00:33:16.910 --> 00:33:21.589
I didn't really... So... Brandy loved that show and would actually,

533
00:33:22.269 --> 00:33:24.910
she went back and started watching from season one. And

534
00:33:24.930 --> 00:33:29.599
so I watched it. She was actually, Pat Malachy was

535
00:33:29.630 --> 00:33:32.000
actually really good for that role and what she did.

536
00:33:32.299 --> 00:33:34.539
But yeah, I think when I saw, because obviously I

537
00:33:34.539 --> 00:33:39.440
saw that she was no longer hosting, but she maintained

538
00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:43.039
like executive producer on that. And I would think so.

539
00:33:43.059 --> 00:33:45.039
I mean, she was on it long enough that it

540
00:33:45.059 --> 00:33:45.750
wouldn't surprise me.

541
00:33:46.339 --> 00:33:48.839
Yeah, but she has gone on to do her own

542
00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:51.619
thing now. She is creator of Taste the Nation.

543
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:54.119
Whatever that is.

544
00:33:55.140 --> 00:33:58.440
And I'm building up to the big birthday today, which

545
00:33:58.599 --> 00:34:01.579
is a young woman by the name of Zendaya. She

546
00:34:01.660 --> 00:34:05.680
is 30 today. We mentioned Anne Hathaway earlier being on

547
00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:11.300
a streak. For being 30 years old, Zendaya is having

548
00:34:11.340 --> 00:34:13.360
herself a hell of a career.

549
00:34:13.829 --> 00:34:14.949
It is amazing.

550
00:34:14.989 --> 00:34:17.289
She's having a hell of a year, and it ain't

551
00:34:17.349 --> 00:34:20.429
even done yet. The roles and the films that she's

552
00:34:20.489 --> 00:34:25.889
been in overall, and then just this year, it's amazing.

553
00:34:26.550 --> 00:34:29.650
She's going to close out the year with Dune 3,

554
00:34:29.650 --> 00:34:32.570
but she's in the middle of a $ 2 billion Spider-Man

555
00:34:32.929 --> 00:34:40.820
franchise release. Euphoria, I mean, just tons of films, and

556
00:34:41.010 --> 00:34:42.199
she's a phenomenal singer.

557
00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:46.000
I didn't even know she sang. Yeah.

558
00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:46.570
She's really good.

559
00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:52.210
Oh, uh, have you seen dune too? Yes.

560
00:34:52.530 --> 00:34:54.170
I've seen, I've seen the dune movies. Yes.

561
00:34:55.409 --> 00:34:58.530
I still haven't watched that. I guess. Is it good? Yes.

562
00:34:59.260 --> 00:35:00.239
Okay. It really is.

563
00:35:00.260 --> 00:35:00.760
Yeah.

564
00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:03.800
I remember watching the original dune with Kyle McLaughlin when

565
00:35:03.820 --> 00:35:05.239
I was a kid and I didn't really understand it.

566
00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:07.239
I didn't think I was too young, I think. Um,

567
00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:09.099
but you know, seeing a guy like running from a

568
00:35:09.139 --> 00:35:12.440
big butthole worm or something, it seemed weird. Um, So

569
00:35:12.460 --> 00:35:14.500
I didn't really get it. When I was like five

570
00:35:14.539 --> 00:35:16.139
years old, to me, it was on the same level

571
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:20.150
as Ice Pirates, which is unfortunate for the Dune. But

572
00:35:20.190 --> 00:35:26.769
this current Denis Villeneuve Dune trilogy, it's really, really good.

573
00:35:27.269 --> 00:35:30.929
And it is stacked.

574
00:35:29.769 --> 00:35:32.809
On the cast. The first one was really, really good.

575
00:35:32.849 --> 00:35:34.510
The second one's good. And you know it has this

576
00:35:34.550 --> 00:35:37.570
whole arc where it goes where Paul Atreides ends up

577
00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:40.380
being the bad guy because he becomes what he's trying

578
00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:42.900
to fight against. The third one's going to be really

579
00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:46.119
good and interesting to see. I'm excited for it. It'll

580
00:35:46.139 --> 00:35:47.900
be a fun day at the movies, though, because they're

581
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:50.719
going to have Dune 3 in one theater and Avengers

582
00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:51.659
Doomsday in the other.

583
00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:58.369
Oh, yeah. Is Zendaya in Avengers Doomsday? Wouldn't surprise me.

584
00:36:01.869 --> 00:36:03.630
Even if she's in the background, she's eating a sandwich.

585
00:36:05.309 --> 00:36:08.809
It's very possible when it comes to the Doomsday casting,

586
00:36:08.909 --> 00:36:12.420
because There are so many rumors that are floating around

587
00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:15.480
on that. And you know what? I don't care. I

588
00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:18.019
don't want to know whatever the rumors are. I pretty

589
00:36:18.039 --> 00:36:19.800
much already have an idea of what the story is

590
00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:22.650
going to be. I don't want any spoilers. I don't

591
00:36:22.670 --> 00:36:26.050
understand why people do that. Oh, this storyline has been leaked.

592
00:36:26.090 --> 00:36:26.750
Here's what it is.

593
00:36:26.869 --> 00:36:27.610
I don't want to know.

594
00:36:27.730 --> 00:36:29.289
I want to go to the movie and enjoy it.

595
00:36:29.650 --> 00:36:32.309
I'd like a little bit of surprise. It's actually about

596
00:36:32.329 --> 00:36:34.170
the only thing in my life that I don't mind

597
00:36:34.210 --> 00:36:34.969
being surprised.

598
00:36:35.590 --> 00:36:38.949
Oh, I know. So it's Florence Pugh who's in Dune 3.

599
00:36:38.949 --> 00:36:42.389
I knew someone was like, she's going to have a

600
00:36:42.409 --> 00:36:44.409
hell of a day. You're right.

601
00:36:44.489 --> 00:36:47.550
She is because she's prominent in Avengers as being a

602
00:36:47.590 --> 00:36:51.840
part of the new Avengers. And she's a prominent role

603
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:54.820
in Dune 3. That's going to be a hell of

604
00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:58.739
a premiere week for some of these actors. Especially for her.

605
00:36:59.059 --> 00:37:01.320
They got to have like that cartoon effect of just

606
00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:04.760
dollar signs just rolling with their eyes. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

607
00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:06.010
She'll be standing. If they have points.

608
00:37:07.849 --> 00:37:10.269
Oh, yes, yes. Or as what she refers to as

609
00:37:10.349 --> 00:37:11.090
big potatoes.

610
00:37:11.570 --> 00:37:20.280
Yeah. Do you feel restless and anxious? Feel like something's

611
00:37:20.340 --> 00:37:22.739

627
00:38:17.250 --> 00:38:20.449
Thank you very much. Going into that last break, we

628
00:38:20.469 --> 00:38:24.219
were talking about Florence Pugh in the new Spider-Man movie,

629
00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:27.800
also in Dune 3. She's going to have a huge

630
00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:31.579
end of the year being in Dune 3 and Avengers Doomsday.

631
00:38:32.940 --> 00:38:37.309
And because social media shows you the stuff that you

632
00:38:37.389 --> 00:38:40.389
show any inkling of an interest in, I watched a

633
00:38:40.429 --> 00:38:42.909
couple of Florence Pugh videos because they were clips of

634
00:38:42.969 --> 00:38:46.190
her from the Spider-Man movie. And so now I'm seeing

635
00:38:46.230 --> 00:38:48.570
a bunch of Florence Pugh stuff. I don't know if

636
00:38:48.590 --> 00:38:51.469
you've seen I know you've seen the new Spider-Man movie

637
00:38:51.889 --> 00:38:54.840
where it's her in her office, the Russian bathhouse and

638
00:38:54.889 --> 00:38:57.460
Spider-Man is in there with the mask on. There's this

639
00:38:57.599 --> 00:39:00.420
one clip that keeps circulating that I watch every single

640
00:39:00.500 --> 00:39:03.239
time because it's hysterical. It was hysterical in the movie

641
00:39:03.300 --> 00:39:07.139
and it's hysterical on on social media. When someone points

642
00:39:07.300 --> 00:39:14.039
out Florence Pugh, something along the lines of. Florence Pugh

643
00:39:14.099 --> 00:39:17.619
is a legend for her reaction to Peter's feet in

644
00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:21.440
the bath. Because when his feet come up, she briefly

645
00:39:21.500 --> 00:39:24.130
pauses and does a double take and then goes back

646
00:39:24.170 --> 00:39:26.010
to what she was saying about potatoes and things.

647
00:39:26.590 --> 00:39:27.329
And it really is.

648
00:39:27.349 --> 00:39:30.150
It's such a detail thing but it's the mark of

649
00:39:30.210 --> 00:39:33.250
a phenomenal actor who can look at something and make

650
00:39:33.289 --> 00:39:37.840
something so small huge and it's hysterical that whole scene

651
00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:40.719
I love that movie I love that movie so hard.

652
00:39:42.539 --> 00:39:48.260
It really surprised me that that character they they has

653
00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:53.260
developed so well out of the Black Widow movie. A

654
00:39:56.190 --> 00:39:58.030
lot of people thought she was kind of over the

655
00:39:58.050 --> 00:40:00.050
top in it. I liked her in Black Widow.

656
00:40:00.190 --> 00:40:04.949
I thought she was great. I don't know what it is.

657
00:40:05.010 --> 00:40:07.130
I haven't dug in too much of it, but I

658
00:40:07.150 --> 00:40:10.570
guess some people didn't like Thunderbolts that much. I thought

659
00:40:10.590 --> 00:40:13.309
it was fantastic. I thought Thunderbolts was really, really good,

660
00:40:13.829 --> 00:40:15.130
which became New Avengers.

661
00:40:17.130 --> 00:40:22.570
Here's my I very much like Thunderbolt. Now, when they

662
00:40:22.590 --> 00:40:24.699
start calling them the Avengers, then I'm like, no, that's

663
00:40:24.739 --> 00:40:25.920
not the Avengers. Okay.

664
00:40:26.260 --> 00:40:27.360
It's the new Avengers.

665
00:40:27.579 --> 00:40:28.199
Yeah.

666
00:40:28.280 --> 00:40:34.940
We have the merchandise. Yeah.

667
00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:35.880
Save that for Mel Brooks.

668
00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:41.539
Which real quick, before we get into, uh, the death

669
00:40:41.610 --> 00:40:43.789
over enchiladas, I don't know if it's true or not,

670
00:40:43.869 --> 00:40:48.449
but speaking of Mel Brooks, uh, Rick Moranis said recently

671
00:40:48.510 --> 00:40:50.190
that the reason why he agreed to come out of

672
00:40:50.230 --> 00:40:53.010
retirement and do Spaceballs 2 was just so he could

673
00:40:53.030 --> 00:40:57.769
get Josh Gad to stop texting him about doing Spaceballs 2.

674
00:40:58.269 --> 00:41:02.210
I mean, that is, people don't realize that Rick Moranis didn't,

675
00:41:03.840 --> 00:41:06.239
he didn't get shunned from acting or anything else. I

676
00:41:06.280 --> 00:41:08.739
think his wife had passed away and so he devoted

677
00:41:08.780 --> 00:41:12.980
his life to raising his kids. And yeah, it was

678
00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:17.329
a huge deal to get him out of retirement. So

679
00:41:17.389 --> 00:41:18.360
that wouldn't surprise me.

680
00:41:18.929 --> 00:41:21.440
Yeah, it doesn't surprise me that Josh Gad would annoy

681
00:41:21.500 --> 00:41:25.940
and pester him to an unimaginable degree. I don't know

682
00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:28.360
if it's true that it ultimately pushed him over the

683
00:41:28.460 --> 00:41:30.500
edge to say, fine, I'll do it. Just stop texting me.

684
00:41:31.260 --> 00:41:32.920
Or because you can always change your number.

685
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:36.679
Well, see, that's the thing that cracks me up about that.

686
00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:39.730
Just thinking about it is every other star is going

687
00:41:39.750 --> 00:41:41.050
to be like, all right, just get a new number.

688
00:41:41.429 --> 00:41:43.909
Rick Moranis is probably, you know, he's been in Canada

689
00:41:43.949 --> 00:41:45.429
raising his kids. He's out of it. He's like, I

690
00:41:45.449 --> 00:41:48.199
don't want to. He's like, like us. It's like, I've

691
00:41:48.219 --> 00:41:49.159
had this number for years.

692
00:41:49.219 --> 00:41:49.440
I don't.

693
00:41:49.460 --> 00:41:50.579
Yeah.

694
00:41:50.860 --> 00:41:51.800
This number's mine.

695
00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:54.159
You lose it. He strikes me as the type that

696
00:41:54.179 --> 00:41:56.619
still has a flip phone because otherwise you just block it.

697
00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:02.159
You're probably right about that. All right. Let's, let's, uh,

698
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:04.440
before we get into death, you know, actually let's just

699
00:42:04.460 --> 00:42:06.219
start with death over enchiladas. I want to make sure

700
00:42:06.239 --> 00:42:11.480
we don't miss this story because it's absolutely terrible. An

701
00:42:11.619 --> 00:42:17.019
argument over green chili enchiladas escalated to a homicide investigation. Whoops.

702
00:42:19.820 --> 00:42:23.119
A disagreement over the heat of green chili enchiladas led

703
00:42:23.139 --> 00:42:27.199
to a fatal shooting Friday in northeast Albuquerque. A spokesman

704
00:42:27.239 --> 00:42:31.139
for Albuquerque police says 22-year-old Irvin Gutierrez got into a

705
00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:35.019
fight with a relative, Nathaniel Cavazos. Court records say the

706
00:42:35.079 --> 00:42:38.559
fight took place after Gutierrez claimed that the green chilies

707
00:42:38.739 --> 00:42:41.769
in his enchiladas were hotter than then the Green Chili's

708
00:42:41.849 --> 00:42:46.210
Cavazos made for himself and another person. According to records,

709
00:42:46.329 --> 00:42:49.809
Cavazos attempted to walk away from Gutierrez. Once the fight ended,

710
00:42:49.849 --> 00:42:53.250
Gutierrez pulled out a gun and shot Cavazos at least

711
00:42:53.469 --> 00:42:56.840
once after the two men began to argue. Cavazos died

712
00:42:56.860 --> 00:42:59.980
at the scene. Now Gutierrez is being held at Metropolitan

713
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:02.340
Detention Center on a murder charge. He made his first

714
00:43:02.380 --> 00:43:05.519
court appearance on Saturday, and now his case moves to

715
00:43:05.539 --> 00:43:08.489
the 2nd District Court, where a detention hearing will be

716
00:43:08.550 --> 00:43:12.800
held next week. all because of the heat over some

717
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:16.230
green chili enchiladas. My enchiladas are hotter than yours. No,

718
00:43:16.250 --> 00:43:17.389
they're not. Bang, you're dead.

719
00:43:19.829 --> 00:43:21.969
I'm assuming drinking was involved in this story.

720
00:43:22.809 --> 00:43:26.030
It doesn't mention it specifically in the article, but I

721
00:43:26.070 --> 00:43:28.519
feel like if you're the reporter, it should be a

722
00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:29.679
fair question to ask.

723
00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:33.519
Because otherwise, I think you're going to know that if

724
00:43:33.539 --> 00:43:37.199
you're both eating green chili enchiladas, it was probably the

725
00:43:37.239 --> 00:43:40.780
same business. batch of green chili sauce on both of them.

726
00:43:41.340 --> 00:43:46.239
That's not really something you make per dish. Right. Uh,

727
00:43:47.480 --> 00:43:50.929
but yeah, I mean, I guess, uh, red sauce from

728
00:43:50.969 --> 00:43:51.690
him for now on.

729
00:43:52.789 --> 00:44:00.650
I'm proud of you.

730
00:44:00.670 --> 00:44:04.900
I'm a little ashamed. No, don't be. Yeah.

731
00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:10.059
I'll have the Roja, please. Roja, por favor. That'll do

732
00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:10.400
it for us.

733
00:44:10.420 --> 00:44:11.820
That'll be his prison nickname, Rojo.
