WEBVTT

00:00.464 --> 00:03.254
So I didn't bone her. So he didn't bone me.

00:03.815 --> 00:07.437
So you guys didn't bone? Oh, now wait a minute. You can't really believe— Now

00:07.470 --> 00:10.964
you wait a minute. I gotta tell

00:11.076 --> 00:14.699
you, Travis, it really tweaks my melon to see

00:15.199 --> 00:18.514
a buff bro like Carl here get wheezed on

00:18.627 --> 00:21.752
by a greasy scumbag like you.

00:22.955 --> 00:25.279
So you just chill.

00:25.984 --> 00:29.351
It's 2 Dads, 1 Movie.

00:29.591 --> 00:33.180
It's the podcast where 2 middle-aged dads sit Around and shoot the

00:33.680 --> 00:37.400
shit about the movies of the '80s and '90s. Here are your hosts, Steve Paulo

00:37.900 --> 00:41.720
and Nic Briana. Hello everybody. Welcome to another episode

00:42.220 --> 00:45.420
of 2 Dads, 1 Movie. I'm Steve. And I'm Nic. And today we continue our

00:45.920 --> 00:49.700
march through November and our journey on the Thanksgiving movie

00:50.200 --> 00:53.020
wheel we're calling Feast Mode. I swear to God, like, I don't think we should

00:53.520 --> 00:56.400
do Thanksgiving again. There's so few movies that really hit. It's tough, man. It's not

00:56.900 --> 00:59.940
easy, but here we are. We're doing it. Hey, time-traveling filmmakers, go back to the

01:00.440 --> 01:02.040
'80s and '90s, make some Thanksgiving movies so next year we can do this again.

01:02.540 --> 01:06.184
Please. Please, it would be nice. But we are today talking about a Thanksgiving movie.

01:06.248 --> 01:09.797
The movie is Son-in-Law. It stars Pauly Shore, a handful of other people.

01:09.845 --> 01:12.640
We'll get into the facts in a minute. But this is actually a legit Thanksgiving

01:12.720 --> 01:16.607
movie. It's based entirely around going home from college on Thanksgiving break

01:17.699 --> 01:20.719
and the things that you deal with when you're going home to a small town

01:20.767 --> 01:23.674
in South Dakota somewhere, which we can all relate to, obviously.

01:25.168 --> 01:28.283
This was my pick for us for Feast Mode. And this is like a movie

01:28.299 --> 01:31.780
I probably watched this movie a dozen times throughout high school.

01:31.845 --> 01:34.617
Like, for some reason, this movie just hit for me at the right time.

01:35.033 --> 01:37.822
You know, I think I was like, what, 13? We were 13 when this came

01:37.870 --> 01:41.315
out, and it was just the right— it was PG-13, so it was like just

01:41.443 --> 01:44.248
edgy enough that it felt like cool, but my parents were also fine with me

01:44.748 --> 01:47.661
watching it. Yeah, the Tiffany Amber Thiessen dance in the one scene, oh,

01:48.126 --> 01:51.523
that was perfect. Just absolute perfection for 13-year-old Steve. And,

01:51.699 --> 01:54.263
uh, I really enjoyed this, and I feel like of the Pauly Shore movies,

01:54.279 --> 01:57.887
this was like one of the maybe like slightly more approachable ones. So it's one

01:58.387 --> 02:00.855
I came back to over and over again. Uh, like this and Encino Man,

02:00.871 --> 02:04.175
basically. For sure. But yeah. Uh, so Nic, what about you? What's your history with

02:04.675 --> 02:07.737
Son-in-Law? I, I didn't see this until much later. Like, I knew about it,

02:07.753 --> 02:10.929
and I just had like an anti-Paulie Shore thing in

02:10.945 --> 02:15.229
my head for, for a stretch, you know? Gotcha. Fair, actually. Me and 78%

02:15.729 --> 02:19.609
of America. But like, uh, but I saw this, and you know, I'd never

02:20.109 --> 02:21.999
seen the movie, but obviously was a big fan of the novel.

02:24.440 --> 02:27.700
Um, I just start saying this about like really shitty movies, and people would

02:28.200 --> 02:29.720
be like, have you seen that? I'd be like, no, but I, I love the

02:30.220 --> 02:32.540
novel. Did you? But are you— was it the adaptation of the film, or was

02:33.040 --> 02:35.600
it the original novel you're talking about? Because there's a— One time, one time we

02:36.100 --> 02:39.320
were, uh, we were traveling, my family and I, and my

02:39.820 --> 02:42.380
brother went to go get a book at the airport, and the book that he

02:42.880 --> 02:46.620
got was the novelization of the movie The Patriot starring Mel

02:47.120 --> 02:50.500
Gibson. Oh, that is perfection. That is, that is, you know, the only

02:51.000 --> 02:53.569
movie I can think of I'd rather have a novelization of. The only movie I

02:53.633 --> 02:56.760
think I'd rather have the novelization of on an airplane would be like Air Force

02:57.260 --> 02:59.950
One. That seems like a much better, you know, more apropos. But other than that,

03:00.191 --> 03:03.510
Patriot hits all the buttons. Uh, so yeah, I, I had

03:04.010 --> 03:07.053
not seen this until a few years ago, but my wife Jeannie, huge fan,

03:07.743 --> 03:10.885
and made sure that it was one of the early ones that we watched together.

03:11.014 --> 03:14.653
And, um, yeah, this one, it's, it's very fun.

03:14.717 --> 03:18.405
And my daughter now likes it a lot. Okay. My daughter's 14. She really gets

03:18.905 --> 03:21.548
a kick out of Pauly Shore. She loves his shit. Nice. And she was like

03:22.048 --> 03:24.578
stopping to try to like remember stuff that he said and like write it down

03:25.078 --> 03:28.090
so that she could like repeat it back to us. So, um, yeah, I didn't

03:28.590 --> 03:30.992
catch this until a little later, but I'd been aware of it. And, uh,

03:31.217 --> 03:34.183
yeah, I'm fucking excited to talk about this. Very cool, very cool. All right,

03:34.199 --> 03:38.256
let's jump into the facts on Son-in-Law. The film Son-in-Law was released on July 12th,

03:38.352 --> 03:42.088
1993 with a PG-13 rating and a running time of 95

03:42.152 --> 03:45.904
minutes. It was directed by Steve Rash and written by, among other people,

03:46.128 --> 03:49.175
Fax Barr, Adam Small, and Shawn Schepps.

03:50.258 --> 03:54.135
It stars Pauly Shore, as we mentioned, the beautiful Carla Gugino, and the legendary

03:54.167 --> 03:57.586
Lane Smith. Big Lane Smith stans over here. Mm-hmm. Scores,

03:57.682 --> 04:01.117
Rotten Tomatoes, 33% of critics found this movie

04:01.229 --> 04:05.082
worth watching. Pretty low. On IMDb, a 6.0.

04:05.242 --> 04:08.228
Definitely not up there with the greats that we watch a lot of the times.

04:08.356 --> 04:11.053
And this is not a surprise, but Siskel and Ebert were 2 thumbs down.

04:11.567 --> 04:15.467
I don't— if either Siskel or Ebert ever gave any Pauly Shore

04:15.580 --> 04:18.610
movie a thumbs up, I'd love to hear about it. Because I doubt that that's

04:19.110 --> 04:22.010
the case. It would be funny to find out that like Gene Siskel's soft spot

04:22.510 --> 04:25.230
is that he loved Pauly Shore. No, no, that's the thing. It would be— I

04:25.730 --> 04:27.810
gotta be more specific. It's like Gene Siskel is like, Pauly Shore is terrible,

04:28.310 --> 04:31.390
whatever. But In the Army Now is a work of art. You know, something like

04:31.890 --> 04:35.530
that. But I love war movies. So In the Army Now. A little bit of

04:36.030 --> 04:39.270
awards activity though. Not a win, but a nomination at, no surprise,

04:39.770 --> 04:43.290
the 1994 MTV Movie Awards. Pauly Shore was nominated for Best Comedic

04:43.790 --> 04:47.224
Performance. Fits perfectly. I mean, he was nominated for best podcaster for the

04:47.724 --> 04:51.187
company I worked for too. Exactly. Pauly Shore and MTV, uh,

04:51.556 --> 04:55.198
they go together like peanut butter and weasel. I don't

04:55.698 --> 04:59.001
know. Anyway, on an $8 million budget, pretty modest actually,

04:59.499 --> 05:03.318
uh, given that we just saw, uh, Grumpy Old Men last week, uh,

05:03.446 --> 05:06.479
was made the same at the same time and cost like $30 million or whatever

05:06.979 --> 05:10.105
the heck it was, right? Right. A little more, uh, acting power.

05:10.249 --> 05:13.170
And they had to destroy that. They had to destroy that. Fish shanty too.

05:13.234 --> 05:16.572
That's right. The ice shanty. This was a hit at the box office. Like,

05:16.604 --> 05:20.119
there's no way to cut it any other way. It pulled in $36.5 million at

05:20.619 --> 05:23.345
the box office, 4.5 times what it cost. There is no way to look at

05:23.845 --> 05:27.100
this other than, hey, this was a minor hit. Definitely in

05:27.357 --> 05:30.968
the wheelhouse of Pauly Shore's kind of height. You know, he was doing— he'd done

05:31.468 --> 05:34.965
Encino Man already. He was actually contractually obligated to do 2 more movies for Disney,

05:34.981 --> 05:37.211
and this was one of them. And I think In the Army Now was the

05:37.711 --> 05:41.396
other one. Later on, we'd get Bio-Dome and stuff, which was definitely the tail end

05:41.896 --> 05:44.985
of Shore's popularity. But man, there was a time when this country was, for whatever

05:45.485 --> 05:49.088
reason, just absolutely enamored with Pauly Shore, or we were being told we

05:49.588 --> 05:52.789
should be. I'm not actually sure which one it is. Yeah. Were we experiencing Pauly

05:53.289 --> 05:56.186
Shore fever, or were we being told to prepare for Pauly Shore fever? Were we

05:56.202 --> 05:59.551
being injected with Pauly Shore bacteria and going

05:59.584 --> 06:02.997
Pauly Shore septic? That's maybe— I wish I'd gotten my Pauly Shore vaccination

06:03.497 --> 06:06.780
back in the '90s. Oh man, that would've been good, yeah. Okay, let's open up

06:07.280 --> 06:11.100
Son-in-Law. Let's take a look. So this movie starts off with a high school graduation.

06:11.220 --> 06:14.220
And this is Lincoln High in, I don't remember what the hell,

06:14.720 --> 06:18.240
Wasco, South Dakota. Wasco, South Dakota. Right, so fictional town. And this is

06:18.740 --> 06:21.540
a tiny high school class. Yeah, it was like what, 50 kids, 80 kids?

06:21.580 --> 06:23.630
Maybe. Like if that, like it really, if you told me it was 35,

06:23.900 --> 06:28.080
I'd be like, yeah, that looks about right. Very small group of graduating seniors.

06:28.450 --> 06:31.200
The school you and I went to, of course, we had over 400 graduating in

06:31.700 --> 06:34.880
our senior class. So that was, anytime I see something way smaller, I go,

06:35.380 --> 06:39.600
that's weird. has mentioned, you know, that there were like 300 total

06:40.100 --> 06:42.320
kids at the private high school she went to when she was growing up.

06:42.820 --> 06:44.960
So I'm like, it's so funny to me that my graduating class was like significantly

06:45.460 --> 06:48.600
larger than her entire school. Yeah. So, and obviously a town like this is not

06:49.100 --> 06:52.400
gonna have a ton of people, therefore not a ton of kids, even though I'm

06:52.900 --> 06:54.360
sure every one of these families— this is probably the only family in town with

06:54.860 --> 06:57.600
only 2 kids. I gotta figure the rest. Yeah, seriously. They're all quiverful.

06:57.700 --> 07:00.960
Yeah. But our valedictorian is

07:01.460 --> 07:05.400
one Rebecca Warner, played by Carla Gugino. She is our protagonist. She's our lead character.

07:05.440 --> 07:06.860
And I love the way, real quickly, how they do the kind of opening,

07:09.012 --> 07:11.749
credits where they show the people who are in it,

07:12.662 --> 07:16.044
you know, including like Cindy Pickett and Lane Smith and Patrick Renna,

07:16.204 --> 07:20.259
the family, they do it where as they're just panning between them in

07:20.291 --> 07:23.512
the seats watching Rebecca give her valedictorian speech, they put that person's

07:24.012 --> 07:26.284
name up. And I think it's really clever because like sometimes, you know, you see

07:26.784 --> 07:29.089
those, the names pop at the beginning and it's like, you may not know who

07:29.589 --> 07:32.054
Cindy Pickett is, you may not know who Patrick Renna is, but like now it's

07:32.554 --> 07:35.660
like, oh right, the kid from Sandlot. Oh right. Honestly, super helpful. And that should

07:35.676 --> 07:38.336
be in more movies. Yeah. Great job there. If you can work it out,

07:38.368 --> 07:41.622
it works out great. Um, but yeah. Yeah. Um,

07:41.783 --> 07:45.085
so, so she gives her graduation speech and, uh,

07:45.518 --> 07:49.269
very inspiring. And her, uh, her kind of boyfriend Steve

07:49.301 --> 07:52.266
there, and he's goofing off, and— or Travis, whatever.

07:52.411 --> 07:55.104
He just looks like a Steve, and I hate that because— no, no, you're,

07:55.216 --> 07:58.422
you're not a stereotypical Steve when I think of a movie Steve. No,

07:58.438 --> 08:02.125
no, I knew a lot of movie-style Steves growing up.

08:02.445 --> 08:05.972
We went to school with several, several movies who can remain last

08:06.472 --> 08:09.354
name nameless but were kind of dicks. Uh, yeah, I know, I've met a lot

08:09.854 --> 08:13.315
of Steves, and, and I, I don't really ascribe to the Steveism in general.

08:13.748 --> 08:16.393
And that includes The Tao of Steve, which I did watch when I was younger.

08:16.538 --> 08:19.809
Oh yeah, Donald Logue. Donald Logue, love him, don't love that movie.

08:19.921 --> 08:23.625
But yeah. Well, Travis is in the, in the crowd, and one

08:24.125 --> 08:26.592
of the things that he does that cracks me up is he's like jacking off

08:27.092 --> 08:31.017
his diploma. It's like classic move there. Gotta show that he's dumb.

08:31.081 --> 08:34.513
He's not the valedictorian. And that's what she has in her small

08:35.013 --> 08:37.415
town. And sitting next to him is Tracy, played by Tiffany Amber Thiessen, who's like

08:37.915 --> 08:40.749
another friend there. in town, and they have a little moment. They kind of whisper

08:41.249 --> 08:43.650
to each other about like last night or whatever, and we get a hint that

08:44.150 --> 08:46.775
like, ooh, maybe there's a little something on the side going on between Travis and

08:47.275 --> 08:50.029
Tracy. Travis and Tracy, good God, they're destined to be together with those names.

08:50.157 --> 08:53.988
They are. Yeah. So we've got now Becca's

08:54.488 --> 08:57.321
dad is kind of having like a little chat with her, like, well, you know,

08:57.337 --> 09:00.799
before you go off to college kind of thing. Becca is— and you know,

09:00.880 --> 09:04.374
there's a reason that they do this to show that the change is

09:04.390 --> 09:07.934
more drastic, but her pajamas that she's wearing, Look like

09:08.254 --> 09:11.543
the pajamas that a ghost would be wearing if you were staying in an

09:12.043 --> 09:15.041
old bed and breakfast and it was haunted. Like, it's really funny. So a couple

09:15.541 --> 09:18.233
of weeks ago, we watched Scream, and I had a very similar thought to myself

09:18.298 --> 09:21.699
about Sidney's sort of nightgown thing she wears at the beginning.

09:21.875 --> 09:24.908
It's like cotton. It's very innocent looking, very whatever, but it is sleeveless.

09:25.405 --> 09:27.924
So this is a sleeved version of the,

09:28.549 --> 09:32.304
the not sexy sleepwear that Sidney wears in Scream at

09:32.480 --> 09:35.830
the beginning. Oh, and real quick, we got a teen bedroom. So a couple of

09:36.330 --> 09:39.280
posters that we noticed here. We got a Garth Brooks.

09:40.430 --> 09:42.510
I don't know if there's a Chris Gaines. It might have been pre-Chris Gaines.

09:42.560 --> 09:46.250
I think this is pre, yeah. We got Travis Tritt. And then there's

09:46.750 --> 09:50.090
also a Billy Ray Cyrus that appears with another photo of

09:50.590 --> 09:53.810
Garth Brooks. So big country music fan. Not really, you know,

09:54.310 --> 09:57.410
not necessarily in the Pauly Shore wheelhouse, but we'll see if he adapts to it.

09:57.510 --> 10:01.850
Right. I will say there was a time

10:02.350 --> 10:03.170
when country— I actually enjoyed country music quite a bit. And it was a little

10:03.670 --> 10:07.210
bit after the sort of like this part, but like, there's some songs

10:07.710 --> 10:12.010
from like Brooks and Dunn, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, those types that came before 9/11

10:12.510 --> 10:16.010
really fucked country music up and turned it into this like jingoistic bullshit. Yeah.

10:16.060 --> 10:19.650
That was slightly enjoyable. So like, this is sort of like a country era where

10:20.150 --> 10:21.710
it's like, okay, this is like, I mean, you know, you may not like it

10:22.210 --> 10:24.710
musically, but at least it's like, I don't have to feel bad for listening to

10:25.210 --> 10:28.270
it. Well, not every song is about like violently grabbing anybody darker than

10:28.770 --> 10:31.418
a brown paper bag and beating the shit out of them, you know? Oh my

10:31.918 --> 10:34.810
God. Toby Keith. Yeah, exactly. So, hey, rest in peace to, uh, hey, also a

10:35.310 --> 10:38.846
wonderful restaurateur. I've been stuck in a rut in many Toby Keith's I Love This

10:39.346 --> 10:42.535
Bar and Grill at various shitty airports around the country. So he

10:43.035 --> 10:46.032
was really a jack of two trades. One and a half, really.

10:46.449 --> 10:48.807
The music, we can give him half a trade there.

10:49.737 --> 10:51.950
I should also want to say, this is like we were— I was saying at

10:52.143 --> 10:55.688
the top here, we're both big Lane Smith fans and I've loved this guy

10:56.188 --> 10:58.767
forever. I've only been able to memorize his name over the last maybe 5 years.

10:58.815 --> 11:02.183
But like, this guy is in so many movies, especially from

11:02.683 --> 11:05.199
like the early to mid-'90s that I absolutely love that aren't necessarily like hits.

11:05.824 --> 11:09.078
My Cousin Vinny obviously is huge and he's great in that and everybody loves My

11:09.578 --> 11:12.861
Cousin Vinny, whatever. But like, I love the movie, The Distinguished Gentleman, the Eddie Murphy

11:13.361 --> 11:17.462
movie where he runs for Congress and Lane Smith plays Chairman Dodge of

11:17.558 --> 11:21.614
what, some committee, Ways and Means or something, whatever, Power and Industry, like some

11:21.662 --> 11:25.269
kind of big Capitol Hill committee. And he's like, takes Eddie Murphy's character under

11:25.769 --> 11:28.747
his wing and stuff. And it's just this Foghorn Leghorn accent that he's got.

11:28.795 --> 11:32.530
And it's down home while also being snarky and kind of shitty

11:32.578 --> 11:35.207
at times. I fucking love Lane Smith. He's so good. And he's so good in

11:35.707 --> 11:39.260
this. He really, I mean, He's like a

11:39.760 --> 11:42.960
way better actor than they needed for this movie. Uh, 100% in

11:43.460 --> 11:46.940
a lot of places. Yeah, he's fantastic. Yeah. Um, so Becca and

11:47.440 --> 11:50.600
Travis are like kind of hanging out in the barn. They're making out in the

11:51.100 --> 11:54.200
hay of Mice and Men style, just rolling around in there.

11:54.380 --> 11:57.800
Um, but you know, we get to the same conversation that we saw in Scream.

11:57.820 --> 12:01.040
We've seen in so many movies where the boyfriend's kind of trying to— hey,

12:01.540 --> 12:04.340
like, oh, you're leaving for college? We're gonna finally do it? She's like, no,

12:04.840 --> 12:07.400
I gotta go to college and then we'll get married. And then, you know,

12:07.900 --> 12:10.470
or You know, we'll get married at some point and then we can have sex.

12:10.970 --> 12:14.250
But he's really pushing it. He's pushing it, and she's basically saying, no, wait 4

12:14.750 --> 12:18.230
years. Yeah. And we'll bang. It's like, look, dude, don't have sex

12:18.730 --> 12:21.590
if you're not ready, obviously. But also, you know, he may not be all that

12:22.090 --> 12:25.170
willing to wait quite that long. We'll have to see. Uh, as it turns out,

12:25.670 --> 12:28.830
he's really, really not willing to wait that long. Um, but yeah, so she's going

12:29.330 --> 12:31.590
to school in California, and now it's time, you know, like, they— she makes out

12:32.090 --> 12:34.050
with Travis a little bit, whatever. They're not gonna bang. She wants him to wait

12:34.550 --> 12:37.770
for him. Uh, and so the next day, they're loading up this F-350, enormous truck.

12:38.270 --> 12:41.490
Yeah. Which, I mean, These days, I feel like these huge pickups are a lot

12:41.990 --> 12:45.330
more common. You see them around, especially kind of where we live. But back then,

12:45.830 --> 12:49.610
this was shockingly large. Yeah, and that was what a farmer would

12:50.110 --> 12:53.790
drive. Yeah, a real industrial vehicle kind of thing. Yeah. You got to— Yeah,

12:54.290 --> 12:58.450
I was trying to estimate the trip here. And that F-350

12:58.950 --> 13:02.150
is probably— the fuel economy for a gas version gets about 9.5

13:02.650 --> 13:03.890
miles to the gallon. I was going to guess 8, but yeah, I'm going to

13:04.390 --> 13:07.902
ballpark it. Diesel gets about 12.5. OK. All right. At today's prices, I mean,

13:08.303 --> 13:11.613
it's about the same, you know, the diff— because the, the better

13:11.678 --> 13:14.811
gas mileage with the diesel would make up for the higher price.

13:15.084 --> 13:18.667
So we're talking in 2026, it's like $1,500 round trip,

13:18.924 --> 13:22.298
assuming that they're not really stopping or doing anything just to drive that thing out

13:22.798 --> 13:25.978
there, which is like— a plane ticket should cost a lot less than that,

13:25.994 --> 13:28.580
but they got to bring the whole fam. Well, here's the thing, they don't.

13:28.805 --> 13:31.537
They, they could have left the kid at home with Pappy and Theo or whatever,

13:31.553 --> 13:34.610
so they could have done it with just 3 plane tickets. Yeah, I will say

13:35.110 --> 13:37.610
she's bringing kind of a lot of stuff, so maybe, you know, that's sort of

13:38.110 --> 13:39.870
part of it. You either ship that stuff or you gotta check a ton of

13:40.370 --> 13:43.610
bags or whatever. Like, and but, you know, I think back then checking bags

13:44.110 --> 13:46.370
was free. Nobody charged for that shit in the early '90s, you know what I

13:46.870 --> 13:49.250
mean? Like, um, but they are driving. They're driving all the way to California,

13:49.750 --> 13:53.170
to Los Angeles. Yeah, California. Cal State Northridge, I think,

13:53.670 --> 13:56.210
is where this, uh, was filmed, the college scenes. That's right. Yep, filmed it,

13:56.710 --> 13:59.830
filmed at Northridge. And then, uh, actually funny enough, the, the scenes in South Dakota

14:00.330 --> 14:02.650
are all filmed on a farm in Visalia, so only, only a couple hours,

14:03.150 --> 14:05.771
uh, north of not even a couple hours, probably an hour and a half north

14:06.271 --> 14:09.666
of LA. Nice. Uh, so there's that. Um, I do love here, Zack, uh,

14:09.682 --> 14:13.193
Patrick Renna, who played Ham in The Sandlot the same year, I think '93

14:13.693 --> 14:16.703
as well, is the little brother. And he's got a t-shirt on as they're dropping

14:16.896 --> 14:20.166
off Becca at school that says, seduce me, please. And for

14:20.666 --> 14:24.430
some reason, I always loved that. This kid is like medically horny and needs to

14:24.930 --> 14:28.469
be addressed. It's so— I mean, this was like a common trope around this time

14:28.518 --> 14:31.900
is you have like the way too sexually aware younger brother.

14:32.060 --> 14:35.859
Yes. Uh, and he's nailing it, and he cannot contain himself in any situation.

14:36.040 --> 14:39.560
This is sort of like in The Last Starfighter where the little brother had the

14:40.060 --> 14:43.720
Playboys or whatever. You're like, that kid's like 10. Yes, he's for sure that

14:44.220 --> 14:47.400
kid. And it's funny that the parents are so like conservative about what

14:47.900 --> 14:50.540
their daughter should be doing and everything. Yeah, yeah. And then the, the son is

14:51.040 --> 14:54.440
just like oozing jizz everywhere he goes, and they're just like, oh son,

14:54.940 --> 14:57.700
are you gonna wear your, uh, let me grab— let me see your tits t-shirt

14:58.200 --> 15:01.660
today? Like, oh, he's just boy being boy. That's a boy. That's a

15:02.160 --> 15:04.780
boy being a boy. That's all that is. But when they get there to the

15:05.280 --> 15:07.940
college, right, so this is a good kind of shock of these South Dakota of

15:08.440 --> 15:11.620
people finally getting to the hallway of her dorm, and it's just chaos.

15:11.720 --> 15:14.620
Yes. There's people that are dressed funny and all this stuff, you know.

15:15.120 --> 15:18.600
So watching the parents react to it, and Mom is a little bit

15:19.100 --> 15:22.240
more kind of amused by it. She seems like a little like, oh, this is

15:22.740 --> 15:25.430
kind of fun. And Dad is just like horrified by all this. Well, like,

15:25.930 --> 15:28.380
Guy is like walking down the hallway with a towel around his waist, and somebody

15:28.880 --> 15:31.620
snatches the towel from him, so then he's walking naked. And Walter, the dad,

15:32.120 --> 15:35.300
is like, dear God. Like, uh, we should mention too, by the way, if,

15:35.800 --> 15:37.900
if you think you recognize the mom here, Connie, uh, played by Cindy Pickett,

15:38.400 --> 15:42.193
you probably do. Ferris Bueller's mom a few years before this.

15:42.257 --> 15:45.208
Oh, okay. So there's that. Yeah,

15:45.224 --> 15:48.976
so now we meet Becca's roommate, her freshman dorm roommate,

15:48.992 --> 15:51.622
and it's this very kind of like initially kind of very looks like her,

15:51.638 --> 15:54.685
you know, wearing like a sweater and like kind of like conservative-ish clothing, whatever.

15:55.166 --> 15:58.517
Patrick— Patrick— Zack has gone through her underwear drawer

15:59.017 --> 16:02.687
already, which is pretty messed up. So she comes in, introduces herself, and then like

16:03.187 --> 16:05.477
leaves and comes back later. She gets a phone call or something, and she comes

16:05.509 --> 16:08.860
back with another girl with her, basically. And it's like, oh, this is my girlfriend,

16:09.020 --> 16:12.300
you know, Lindsay, or whatever she says. And then they kiss goodbye, and the whole

16:12.800 --> 16:16.500
family— well, the whole family except Zack is sort of scandalized. Zack starts asking

16:17.000 --> 16:19.560
his dad for his camera, which would be, you know, a little, a little on

16:20.060 --> 16:22.800
the nose, pal. Like, you're not just gonna sit there, you know, snapping pictures with

16:23.300 --> 16:25.390
like— what would it— what would be like, right? This is 1993, so an enormous,

16:25.820 --> 16:29.220
you know, like, like single lens, like,

16:29.720 --> 16:32.900
like, right? You're not discreetly snapping a photo here. No, exactly.

16:33.000 --> 16:35.690
Um, yeah, so they can't— they can't deal with with the fact that, oh,

16:36.190 --> 16:39.880
her roommate's a lesbian. What is this? California is going crazy.

16:39.950 --> 16:42.570
So they're trying to help her get settled in. She has this big old trunk

16:43.070 --> 16:46.030
and it's locked. The brother was supposed to have the key, doesn't have the key.

16:46.130 --> 16:48.830
Yeah, exactly. So they're trying to get it open and— Like, left it at home,

16:49.330 --> 16:52.910
I think. Like, full-on left it in South Dakota. Um,

16:53.410 --> 16:56.870
so Dad's like, all right, I gotta find a screwdriver or something. And he's looking,

16:57.370 --> 16:59.990
he saw that there was a sign right across the hall from her dorm room,

17:00.490 --> 17:03.636
which made him feel better at first, is the resident advisor. Is somebody in

17:03.684 --> 17:07.533
charge. So there's some kind of authority figure, and he pops

17:08.033 --> 17:11.044
into that door, you know, to see if he can get a screwdriver. And we're

17:11.544 --> 17:15.390
introduced to Krawl. Krawl, yes. And Krawl is, uh, is Pauly

17:15.890 --> 17:19.254
Shore. And at this point, he is hanging upside down by the fire

17:19.318 --> 17:23.247
sprinkler, uh, pipe. And, um, I had a

17:23.747 --> 17:27.015
problem with this because we've seen this a couple times in recent movies, right?

17:27.175 --> 17:31.072
I'd say The Fly, he was swinging from some sort of fire sprinkler

17:31.104 --> 17:34.279
pipe, this one. And I was like, I don't— this

17:34.391 --> 17:37.471
can't fly. I don't know if this is right or not. So I contacted

17:37.984 --> 17:42.073
a fire sprinkler company. This is perfect. This is the kind of in-depth analysis

17:42.573 --> 17:45.826
you can only get on 2 Dads 1 Movie. I'm doing a Room 237 but

17:45.842 --> 17:48.825
for son-in-law. Yeah, so we're going deep here. So,

17:49.002 --> 17:53.123
so I asked, I said, hey, you know, I've seen a lot of fictional portrayals

17:53.171 --> 17:56.590
of people hanging or swinging from fire sprinkler pipes. I feel like

17:57.090 --> 18:00.350
that might either set the sprinklers off or cause some kind of damage. What do

18:00.850 --> 18:04.150
you think? Yeah. Here's the answer. The pipe supporters are set to hold the

18:04.650 --> 18:08.430
weight of the water and can withstand an additional 250 pounds in

18:08.930 --> 18:11.760
case of an accident, like someone falling off a ladder and needing to hang on.

18:12.370 --> 18:15.450
Huh. So the answer is yes, you can hang on it if you're less than

18:15.950 --> 18:18.710
250 pounds. And Paulie Shore weighs what, a buck 20 or something? Yeah. Skinny dude.

18:18.810 --> 18:21.680
Seth Brundle, for sure, less than, less than 250. Yeah, less than 250. So,

18:21.830 --> 18:25.430
wow, good to know. So I'm trying to get down to hanging on fire sprinkler

18:25.930 --> 18:29.230
weight, folks. This is gonna be my goal for, uh, 2027. I can just lose

18:29.730 --> 18:32.750
50 or 60 pounds, I'll be right there, man. That's fantastic, good to know.

18:32.810 --> 18:35.970
Uh, but I love that. Hey, shout out to Peter from Superior Automatic Sprinkler.

18:36.470 --> 18:39.570
I really appreciate the answer and your expertise, and I hope that I can consult

18:40.070 --> 18:43.610
on future matters. There you go. So there we go, Peter. Wonderful. Uh, so she

18:44.110 --> 18:47.390
is kind of freaking out, ends up calling, uh, Travis, and there's this moment where

18:47.890 --> 18:50.030
her boyfriend, you know, is like— answers the phone, he's like, I said I'd be

18:50.530 --> 18:53.650
right there, whatever. And he clearly thinks it's somebody else calling, but it's Becca.

18:54.150 --> 18:56.752
And, you know, she's basically just nervous and she doesn't really you know, she's feeling

18:56.784 --> 19:00.203
overwhelmed. And look, I'll be honest with you, I went to 4 different colleges in

19:00.251 --> 19:03.061
my college career, including a JC for a while to try to figure out where

19:03.109 --> 19:05.565
I— what I wanted to do. And the first time I went away to school,

19:05.677 --> 19:08.647
I got homesick and I got strep throat and like homesick the first quarter.

19:08.727 --> 19:11.777
And I left and I went back home and then kind of repositioned and,

19:11.921 --> 19:14.458
you know, it all worked out in the end. But I totally understand this concept

19:14.958 --> 19:17.235
of like, man, that first time can be so overwhelming. Yeah. You don't feel like

19:17.735 --> 19:20.301
you have some kind of an anchor or something to hold on to. And I

19:20.801 --> 19:24.620
didn't know anybody. I mean, I met my roommate at Southern Oregon because he,

19:25.120 --> 19:27.030
he grew up in Danville— I mean, excuse me, Pleasanton— when we were in Danville.

19:27.260 --> 19:30.420
And, uh, you know, I met him like 2 weeks before we moved in,

19:30.920 --> 19:33.640
so like I like knew of him, whatever. We weren't friends, but you don't have

19:34.140 --> 19:36.280
like a level of comfort at all. We actually ended up— he and I both

19:36.780 --> 19:40.280
ended up at Chico State years later and reconnected, which was crazy. Oh nice.

19:40.780 --> 19:43.500
But at that time I just felt like, you know, very, very rudderless. So I

19:44.000 --> 19:46.860
totally get that she's just kind of freaking out. Um, so when she's on the

19:47.360 --> 19:50.400
phone with Travis here, uh, very quickly in the background, again,

19:50.900 --> 19:54.503
we're, we're looking at the background, we're room 237 in There's these bags

19:54.696 --> 19:58.450
of feed, uh, behind him. Yeah, in this closet. And the brand

19:58.950 --> 20:02.171
of the feed, or what it says on the bag, is Hog Grower. Okay,

20:02.380 --> 20:05.813
I get it. Anyone who works for the company that makes Hog Grower, I would

20:05.829 --> 20:09.695
love a promotional hat, a promotional t-shirt, a fucking bomber jacket.

20:09.839 --> 20:12.310
I want something that says Hog Grower on it. Thank you in advance.

20:13.160 --> 20:15.518
It's dirty. It sounds dirty.

20:16.336 --> 20:19.945
Um, a couple of things that Kroll's doing here, right?

20:20.943 --> 20:24.658
So he's, he's walking around with the camera, like the big camera like you mentioned

20:25.158 --> 20:28.874
before, right in everybody's face. The camcorder. Like, he has a

20:28.939 --> 20:31.760
camera and a camcorder around his neck. He's like Mr.

20:31.824 --> 20:34.982
T with like photo equipment. Oh my God, just got it draped all over him.

20:35.655 --> 20:38.284
And, uh, the things that he's saying, like, again,

20:38.878 --> 20:42.276
I guess because he's not like a big jock guy, people aren't as offended by

20:42.308 --> 20:45.482
him just being like, oh, prime USDA Choice

20:45.675 --> 20:49.140
teriyaki. That's super gross. Fellas,

20:49.640 --> 20:53.440
go out and try that one and say report back. To be fair, 1993 is

20:53.940 --> 20:57.780
not 2026. Thank God. That's true. People actually respected the USDA back then.

20:57.880 --> 21:01.480
That's a good point. The FDA held sway with the public at

21:01.980 --> 21:05.640
that time. Maybe not so much anyway. But yeah, so he,

21:06.140 --> 21:09.980
he basically is— he's kind of— he's doing his thing, whatever he's filming, but then

21:10.480 --> 21:12.800
he quickly gets distracted. There's some other girl to chase, but she's— this is just

21:13.300 --> 21:16.220
adding to her uncomfort, right? And her discomfort, I guess, is the word I'm looking

21:16.720 --> 21:19.629
for. And so there's that. We then get a little bit of a flash forward,

21:19.677 --> 21:22.084
right? 'Cause we kind of wanna get through this first, most of this first semester

21:22.584 --> 21:26.001
quickly. We get to Halloween and she's not dressed up for Halloween. She isn't,

21:26.033 --> 21:29.131
I don't know if she like is super religious or something, whatever. Yeah.

21:29.195 --> 21:32.534
She doesn't dress up for Halloween, but the entire dorm floor,

21:32.742 --> 21:36.210
everybody's like costumed and partying and there's a

21:36.710 --> 21:40.271
party going on in her room and like that her roommate's throwing.

21:40.383 --> 21:44.171
And actually her roommate's girlfriend has the coolest costume I think I've ever seen.

21:44.251 --> 21:47.350
It's like a split down the middle, half and half, A man in like a

21:47.850 --> 21:50.869
tuxedo with a mustache and a woman in like a dress, and it's so cool

21:50.901 --> 21:54.597
looking. Hair different on both sides. Half costume. The makeup's different on both sides.

21:54.661 --> 21:58.598
Like it's really like really awesome, freaking cool costume.

21:58.694 --> 22:02.294
But somebody sat down on her desk, Becca's desk,

22:02.310 --> 22:05.780
and she had this little whittled horse that her pappy whittled for her.

22:05.845 --> 22:09.107
We we've learned pappy played by Mason Adams, the grandpa. He whittles wood,

22:09.524 --> 22:12.079
and this is like something she brought with her that's like super super super important.

22:12.300 --> 22:15.720
And this was like the last straw for her. Yeah. So somebody sat

22:16.220 --> 22:19.100
on it, broke, you know, they apologized, but it's like, you can't glue this back

22:19.600 --> 22:21.630
together. The whole point was whittled out of like a single piece of wood,

22:21.960 --> 22:24.080
you know what I mean? Which would've been an enormous piece of wood, given how

22:24.580 --> 22:26.620
tall the horse was. Plus, gluing a horse together is like using a horse to

22:27.120 --> 22:30.320
repair a horse, kind of indirectly, right? I feel like that's a sin.

22:31.160 --> 22:34.700
It's like cannibalism, kind of like adjacent in some way,

22:35.200 --> 22:38.560
right? It just feels wrong. Very, very wrong. So she's like, I'm outta here.

22:39.060 --> 22:42.461
She goes to the payphone down the hall. I'm going home. And Carl dressed up

22:42.961 --> 22:45.336
as Carmen Miranda, basically, I guess. He's got like fruit on his head. Yeah.

22:45.384 --> 22:48.227
Fake boobs or whatever, is like, wait a minute, let me, let me talk to

22:48.727 --> 22:50.428
you, like, on this thing. And he gives her this speech, and it's actually like

22:50.928 --> 22:54.427
a really good speech to give a college freshman

22:54.927 --> 22:58.073
who's homesick, which is basically like, if you don't go out, leave campus,

22:58.201 --> 23:01.173
and try to see what's going on around you, you're never gonna feel like you

23:01.673 --> 23:04.289
belong here. Yeah. And that's accurate. Like, I know, like I said, I had trouble

23:04.789 --> 23:07.033
fitting in at a couple different schools until I got to to Chico State and

23:07.533 --> 23:11.247
spent time with people outside of my dorm, outside of class, and it became something

23:11.743 --> 23:14.740
that I really enjoyed, and I loved being there. And if you're not willing to,

23:14.788 --> 23:18.633
like, put yourself out at all, yeah, you're never gonna feel like

23:18.665 --> 23:22.943
it's home in any way ever. And, you know— Yeah, he's actually, like— when

23:23.119 --> 23:25.907
we kind of first see him, we're like, oh, this creep is gonna try to,

23:25.923 --> 23:29.688
like, bang her immediately. But he's actually, like, doing a good job of his

23:30.188 --> 23:32.476
actual job as an RA. Right, as an RA, yeah. You know? So it's funny

23:32.508 --> 23:35.843
that he seems so crazy and irresponsible, but it's like, like, oh, he's good at

23:35.939 --> 23:39.213
what he does, at least like in this moment here. Like, he can recognize

23:39.229 --> 23:42.551
somebody who's in crisis and, and talk them off the ledge, you know.

23:42.696 --> 23:45.408
And, and this is a theme that runs through this whole movie with this character,

23:45.504 --> 23:48.377
is that we are not supposed to be judging him by how he looks and

23:48.877 --> 23:51.522
how he talks, right? Like, the whole idea of the Krawl character is that he

23:52.068 --> 23:55.502
contains multitudes. He, he is a different, you know, he has more depth

23:55.519 --> 23:58.841
to him than we initially think and that the Warners initially think, uh, and all

23:59.341 --> 24:00.574
this stuff. And this is the first sign of it where it's like, yeah,

24:00.590 --> 24:04.504
he's dressed crazily. Like, even for Halloween, this is kind of a crazy-looking costume.

24:04.584 --> 24:08.177
Yeah, he's been creepy and weird from moment one,

24:09.156 --> 24:11.963
and, and— but now he's like being, you know, actually helpful.

24:12.942 --> 24:15.717
So we get a little montage of like him like showing her around town.

24:15.829 --> 24:19.198
Yeah, well, real quick before the montage is— so when he brings her in

24:19.698 --> 24:21.892
the room, he's like, he's like, oh yeah, this— and he hands her a photo

24:22.392 --> 24:24.860
and she's like, what? And it's clearly a photo of him, you know, several years

24:24.892 --> 24:28.421
before, looking very like, you know, nerdy and conservative and

24:28.921 --> 24:32.436
stuff. And he says, uh, I tossed the spectacles, grew the 'do,

24:32.677 --> 24:35.873
guzzled some brew. That's one that my daughter likes.

24:35.953 --> 24:39.502
Shout out to you, Renny. Um, but some of these things that

24:40.002 --> 24:42.859
he says about how he— so, you know, let yourself go,

24:42.875 --> 24:46.328
let yourself be free and everything. And now he also— But real quick,

24:46.344 --> 24:49.926
that picture is a very '90s attitude of what nerdy looks like because

24:50.426 --> 24:53.282
he looks GQ as fuck. Like, he actually looks great. He just has spectacles.

24:53.459 --> 24:56.284
He has glasses. Yeah. So therefore Fuck you, nerd.

24:56.412 --> 24:59.635
This was in the, in the nerd glasses. Yeah, right before you had

24:59.876 --> 25:03.227
the, the cool glasses come out. That's true. We did,

25:03.323 --> 25:07.268
we did break that mold, didn't we? Yeah, absolutely. But yeah,

25:07.300 --> 25:10.202
so now we get this montage and they're going around, he's showing her around town,

25:10.699 --> 25:13.201
uh, and they go in and they go to like a clothing store and like

25:13.701 --> 25:15.814
she gets kind of new digs that look a little more California, a little bit

25:15.846 --> 25:19.374
more early '90s California anyway. And then somebody walks by her who's

25:19.874 --> 25:21.956
got like this short bob with like bleach blonde hair and she's like, oh my

25:22.456 --> 25:26.000
God, I want her hair. So they go to a barbershop, and this guy— I

25:26.129 --> 25:29.790
don't know how to feel about this. It is a man with

25:30.207 --> 25:33.322
at least some melanin in his skin. He's got a darker skin tone. If he's

25:33.822 --> 25:37.015
Hispanic, if he's Native American, I don't know. But he cuts off her ponytail and

25:37.095 --> 25:40.226
then raises it above his head and makes like a war cry. And I'm

25:40.726 --> 25:43.614
like, I don't know how to feel about this. Like,

25:44.417 --> 25:48.094
if that dude's like a legit, like, Miwok or something, like, then okay, this is

25:48.594 --> 25:51.241
probably fine. That's just, you know, but like— Yeah. It feels wrong. It's— I don't

25:51.741 --> 25:55.113
know. Yeah, that's funny. And then during this montage, what song are we

25:55.613 --> 25:57.972
getting? One of our favorites. This is the best needle drop of Little Miss Can't

25:58.472 --> 26:01.121
Be Wrong ever. I honestly, I like the Spin Doctors. I didn't so much actually

26:01.621 --> 26:04.511
back then. I always liked the use of this song in this movie, even when

26:04.559 --> 26:06.840
I was like, oh, the Spin Doctors suck. And the Spin Doctors is one of

26:07.340 --> 26:10.503
those bands that like over time I've like thought more positively of them as I

26:11.003 --> 26:13.973
kind of get distance from their popularity and just think about how they were kind

26:14.473 --> 26:16.078
of everywhere in the '90s. And you just heard the songs all the time.

26:16.158 --> 26:18.295
And yeah, I've come around on like Hootie and the Blowfish and a bunch of

26:18.795 --> 26:21.282
other bands. in the same— Matchbox Twenty, in the same kind of vein. Um,

26:21.603 --> 26:25.249
this is like a really fantastic use of this. Oh yeah. Because it, it is,

26:25.939 --> 26:29.264
it is, it is a fun song for the moment where it's like they're rollerblading

26:29.296 --> 26:31.978
and they're doing this and they're going around and she's changing like all this stuff.

26:32.042 --> 26:35.271
It's like a fun song that just does that, but it also is like really

26:35.335 --> 26:39.109
indicative of Rebecca's character and the way that she treats everybody around her later on.

26:39.189 --> 26:42.851
It's like she, she's, she's right, and everybody that isn't following

26:42.947 --> 26:46.200
her game and playing along with her is like hurting her. And that's her attitude

26:46.700 --> 26:48.640
towards it. And I feel like it's really— I don't even know if that was

26:49.140 --> 26:51.720
intentional, like, by the choice of the song, or if it was just a popular

26:52.220 --> 26:55.500
upbeat, you know, sort of hippie-sounding song. Let's do this, you know. It's a good

26:56.000 --> 26:59.030
jam. It hits well though. And the music is, is pretty decent.

26:59.320 --> 27:02.160
There's a couple really good needle drops, a couple good places here. Absolutely.

27:02.580 --> 27:06.240
Um, yeah, so she's going through all this stuff. They're rollerblading on Venice Beach

27:06.740 --> 27:10.160
and seeing some kind of LA sights. And then she goes into the tattoo

27:10.660 --> 27:14.366
parlor. The tattoo artist, played by Flea. Speaking of music. Who we

27:14.866 --> 27:18.245
just saw in Big Lebowski. That's right, yep, yep. And she gets

27:18.293 --> 27:21.435
like, you know, the classic butterfly tattoo that you have to go get.

27:21.579 --> 27:25.026
You have to show that I am a transformed

27:25.526 --> 27:28.937
being. I am coming out of my cocoon, which I will celebrate

27:28.953 --> 27:32.929
by a butterfly tattoo. There's an interesting exchange here between Kroll and

27:32.961 --> 27:35.766
the tattoo artist played by Flea where, you know,

27:35.830 --> 27:39.373
Rebecca looks to Kroll and goes, what do you think? She goes, it's permanent,

27:39.437 --> 27:42.242
like, I don't know. And the guy, like, you know, Flea, he looks a little

27:42.742 --> 27:44.990
crazy like he always does, right? I can't remember exactly what he says, but Kroll

27:45.490 --> 27:48.570
goes, look, see? Like, it's the ink soaks into the brain and makes them all

27:49.070 --> 27:53.010
mess up. And Flea just goes like, yeah, good point. Yes, 'cause Flea,

27:53.510 --> 27:56.050
they make him look— he looks crazy. Really crazy. He looks like a guy that

27:56.550 --> 28:00.430
would be like a, um, like a white supremacist gang henchman kinda guy.

28:00.930 --> 28:04.510
Like, he has this psycho kinda look. Yeah, and, uh, and Kroll disarms him.

28:04.610 --> 28:07.670
He learned how to tattoo in cell block 2. Like, he did not— like,

28:08.170 --> 28:11.690
this was inside prison where he learned to ink people. His first 30 tattoos were

28:12.190 --> 28:13.510
swastikas. Yeah. Or teardrops.

28:14.930 --> 28:19.210
Um, but yeah, she gets the little, uh, little butterfly on her ankle, sort of.

28:19.710 --> 28:22.410
Um, we cut to a quick scene at the beach just to kind of show—

28:22.910 --> 28:25.250
again, this is really more than anything, it's just showing Rebecca feeling more and more

28:25.750 --> 28:28.610
comfortable, like, in California, right, with this sort of thing and with Kroll. But they're,

28:29.110 --> 28:32.330
like, not romantic, they're just friends. Because now they're my friend harassing women at

28:32.830 --> 28:35.770
the beach. Because now they're both, yeah, looking through binoculars, which— I'm sorry, if you

28:36.270 --> 28:39.610
bring binoculars to the beach, you've already lost. This is a terrible idea. Yes,

28:40.110 --> 28:44.175
it's bad. 100%. Okay, I will say yes, 100%. And And today,

28:44.528 --> 28:48.118
if you're wearing Meta glasses at the beach, someone can

28:48.150 --> 28:51.709
throw you into the fucking ocean. Well, hopefully break your fucking glasses. Or throw your

28:52.209 --> 28:56.149
glasses into the ocean. Because fuck you. Yeah, the binoculars, the camcorder back

28:56.649 --> 28:59.915
then, you would have been immediately identified as a creep. Now people are discreetly

29:00.415 --> 29:03.506
recording you all the time, and they should have the same fucking scrutiny. You should

29:03.522 --> 29:07.593
look at them the same way. There are some disability

29:07.946 --> 29:11.682
reasons for the Meta glasses that I recently learned about, people who are not fully

29:11.714 --> 29:14.733
blind but very, very hard of seeing can, can be helped out by them.

29:15.086 --> 29:18.106
But that is absolutely not the reason to bring them to the beach. That's fine.

29:18.202 --> 29:22.073
I mean, it's like if everyone decided it's easier to be in a wheelchair and

29:22.573 --> 29:25.526
then— and I was like, hey, there's too many wheelchairs on the road. It's like,

29:25.590 --> 29:28.674
yeah, of course there's people who actually need them. Exactly. Uh, it's like with,

29:28.802 --> 29:31.870
uh, DoorDash and stuff where people are like, hey, everyone's kind of being a piece

29:32.370 --> 29:35.130
of shit by not just going to the store for themselves. And then everyone's like,

29:35.146 --> 29:37.796
well, you know, people with disabilities need it, which is true, but it's like I

29:37.972 --> 29:42.028
was like, that's not why you're doing it. Yeah, exactly. So then

29:42.044 --> 29:44.817
they go to one of our favorite venues. We got these all over town.

29:44.881 --> 29:47.975
I think there's like more in this town. The Women's Mud Wrestling Bar.

29:48.055 --> 29:52.207
Classic, classic. With the most disgusting

29:52.303 --> 29:56.166
looking mud. It looks worse than anything. It looks— okay,

29:56.327 --> 29:59.517
this is— there was a time, this is gonna be not fun at all.

30:00.174 --> 30:02.835
There was a time that I was on like a diet thing back in like,

30:02.899 --> 30:06.089
I wanna say 2008 or '09, 2010, something in that

30:06.589 --> 30:09.167
ballpark. And it was like this food that was all prepackaged and you just had

30:09.667 --> 30:11.420
to like, you know, add hot water or whatever and like make it. And it

30:11.920 --> 30:15.080
was like supposed to be like chili. NutriSystem? It might have been, I can't remember.

30:15.580 --> 30:16.900
But yeah, it was like, came in like little cups on the stuff. It was

30:17.400 --> 30:20.360
awful. But I thought, oh, this is how I'm gonna lose weight, whatever. And when

30:20.860 --> 30:23.700
you like microwaved or whatever, put the water into the chili and microwaved it,

30:24.200 --> 30:26.980
like the whole deal, it looked like this stuff. And it was horrific and it

30:27.480 --> 30:29.880
tasted like cardboard and it was awful. But like, it looked like this mud.

30:30.380 --> 30:32.340
Yeah. And it was just the grossest thing ever. And there's like a color to

30:32.840 --> 30:35.100
this mud. It's too light. It needs to be— I don't know what it was.

30:35.200 --> 30:38.836
Green almost? It looks like shit. It looks like like feces, right, filling this fucking

30:39.574 --> 30:42.768
ring. It's horrific. But basically Becca pays

30:42.801 --> 30:46.958
the DJ or the MC, whatever he is, to call up Krawl, the resident advisor,

30:46.990 --> 30:50.265
and he gets to get in thinking he's gonna wrestle some busty beauty sort of

30:50.765 --> 30:53.492
thing. And this, you know, 6-foot-2, you know,

30:53.540 --> 30:56.991
300-pound woman in a bunny suit comes and just starts throwing him around

30:57.491 --> 31:01.325
the ring. And classic, like, lady wrestler of the early '80s, like the Fabulous

31:01.825 --> 31:04.960
Moolah type wrestler. Yeah. And it's just like, this is This is by

31:05.460 --> 31:08.360
far the least interesting scene in the movie, in my opinion, because it does nothing

31:08.860 --> 31:12.160
to advance any plot or any character. We learn nothing new about anyone. It is

31:12.660 --> 31:15.960
like, absolutely, this movie should have been like 92 minutes long, not 95 or whatever

31:16.460 --> 31:19.100
it was. And, and just like, we didn't need this scene at all. It's so

31:19.600 --> 31:23.240
dumb. It's one of those things that, uh, that would get people who don't know

31:23.740 --> 31:26.860
what it is excited, you know? You'd be like, ladies mud wrestling!

31:27.360 --> 31:30.200
They'd be like, yeah! And then you see it and you're like, ugh, that shit.

31:30.700 --> 31:33.980
What about no mud on these people? Yeah, I was gonna say, like, I can—

31:34.480 --> 31:38.580
I— that's one reason I can understand, not that I've but the Jell-O wrestling concept

31:39.080 --> 31:42.840
doesn't seem as gross. And also, like, you can still see the people under

31:43.340 --> 31:46.010
the Jell-O. Like, I get it a little bit more. Still pretty nasty.

31:46.320 --> 31:49.320
But yeah, so now we flash a little bit ahead again. This was kind of

31:49.820 --> 31:53.060
speeding through this semester. It's now Thanksgiving break. People are starting to leave. There's phone

31:53.560 --> 31:56.540
calls being made, like all this stuff. And this time Travis calls Becca on this

31:57.040 --> 32:00.490
communal phone. It's like a payphone, it looks like, in the middle of the hallway.

32:00.740 --> 32:03.260
Was this something you ever experienced in college? I don't remember this kind of thing

32:03.760 --> 32:06.320
at all. I think— I know, I think we had a phone in our dorm

32:06.330 --> 32:09.100
room. I'm pretty sure I had a phone in my room. Yeah, anyway. So,

32:09.600 --> 32:12.000
but it's Travis calling, and Rebecca's like very distracted, and like talking to people,

32:12.500 --> 32:15.800
is like whatever. And he's like surprised that, you know, he's not

32:16.300 --> 32:19.400
instantly the most important thing to her in the moment, right? Right. And he's kind

32:19.900 --> 32:22.220
of like, whoa, what's going on? You know? And he kind of hints at like,

32:22.720 --> 32:25.460
oh, this, I'm really excited to see you. Can't wait. We got a lot to

32:25.960 --> 32:28.260
talk about. Big deal. Da da da da. All this kind of stuff. And she

32:28.760 --> 32:31.260
gets seemingly a little bit nervous.

32:32.160 --> 32:35.840
Yes. She goes in and she sees Kroll in like a PJs and

32:36.340 --> 32:38.340
like a little like pilgrim hat, like already starting to heat up his Thanksgiving dinner.

32:40.190 --> 32:43.320
Hungry Man dinner, even though it's like Thanksgiving's in like 5 days.

32:43.500 --> 32:46.540
Yeah, this is like Sunday or Monday of like Thanksgiving week kind of thing.

32:47.060 --> 32:50.260
And and she invites him to South Dakota. He's like, "I got nowhere to go."

32:50.760 --> 32:53.380
Like like Vegas fell through. His mom, we learned, was living lives in Vegas.

32:53.880 --> 32:56.980
I love that backstory that his mom was a pit boss. That's such a funny

32:57.480 --> 33:01.080
like it's great funny job. Not a dealer, not a showgirl. No, a pit boss,

33:01.580 --> 33:05.260
not a waitress. Yeah. And crawl is in is he in these like cheetah pattern

33:05.760 --> 33:09.290
pajamas? Yeah, they're like one dancing around saying. Steven Tyler PJ.

33:09.418 --> 33:12.775
I'm like, it's so dumb. I don't get that though. Are there scarves on

33:13.275 --> 33:15.569
it? I thought it was a scarf rather than a pattern thing. It is,

33:15.762 --> 33:19.215
but I think that often the scarves are animal patterned, I think, is maybe

33:19.715 --> 33:22.267
the reference. I don't know. Or there's something where he specifically wore something like that

33:22.767 --> 33:25.318
and that's just been lost to time. Like, that's entirely possible too. I do like

33:25.818 --> 33:29.028
his pilgrim hat. Uh, one time, uh, I had a

33:29.333 --> 33:32.979
friend, uh, in Santa Barbara. We went down, they had like a pilgrim and Indian

33:33.188 --> 33:36.320
party for their birthday. Interesting.

33:36.360 --> 33:40.060
I was a pilgrim, so ain't my problem.

33:40.100 --> 33:43.600
But, um, but I had this pilgrim costume and it was like this shitty,

33:44.100 --> 33:47.240
like, spirit store pilgrim costume. It was like $15. And I'm

33:47.740 --> 33:50.279
like, what am I ever gonna do with this again? And then Thanksgiving,

33:50.779 --> 33:53.500
uh, was at my parents' house and I was like, I'm just gonna wear the

33:54.000 --> 33:57.200
pilgrim costume for Thanksgiving. I think it was like the hardest my dad has ever

33:57.700 --> 34:00.580
laughed when I walked in the door in the pilgrim costume. So it's good stuff.

34:01.080 --> 34:03.200
It is fun wearing that hat. You have a little white collar, everything. Yeah,

34:03.700 --> 34:07.465
everything. The hat and the buckle, everything. I remember making those. hats out of construction

34:07.497 --> 34:10.068
paper in elementary school, right?

34:10.951 --> 34:14.197
Yeah. Um, so they fly back and, uh,

34:14.470 --> 34:17.603
and it's one of those cool, you know, you go down the stairs instead of

34:18.103 --> 34:21.474
through the jetway. Off the tarmac. Oh yeah, good stuff. Um,

34:21.555 --> 34:25.234
Becca, the way that she— when she arrives,

34:25.828 --> 34:29.250
she's immediately talking like Krawl, right? Talking about Weaselware and stuff.

34:29.347 --> 34:32.801
She's like, look, check it, Weaselware! And like, oh my

34:33.301 --> 34:37.577
God. And like, look, I get it. She's been changed. California gets

34:37.609 --> 34:40.831
ahold of people. I understand. But she's been gone like 2 months,

34:40.895 --> 34:44.485
right? Like, like maybe 3, maybe August, September, October. Now we're into like

34:44.985 --> 34:48.299
November. Okay, fine. So like less than a quarter, less than a fiscal quarter,

34:48.411 --> 34:51.633
and she's already willing to go back home and in front of her

34:52.133 --> 34:55.127
parents wear like a sheer top with a colorful bra underneath.

34:55.207 --> 34:57.963
Yeah. Like, I don't buy it. You know what I mean? Like, there are other

34:58.463 --> 35:01.473
things she wears that are like far more kind of reasonable, but this particular outfit

35:01.973 --> 35:05.327
she gets off the plane with, She must have decided maybe this was the idea.

35:05.841 --> 35:09.038
I'm gonna wear the thing that's gonna make them the maddest or freak them out

35:09.538 --> 35:12.911
the most. Like, let's go all the way with the first outfit and then

35:13.411 --> 35:15.739
we'll dial it back to like a cheetah print fur coat or whatever the hell

35:15.771 --> 35:18.760
she has. Like, you know, I'm going full weasel on day one.

35:18.840 --> 35:22.054
Yeah. Yeah. Um, so, you know, she tells the family

35:22.554 --> 35:24.995
and of course like she's not greeting Travis in the way that he expects to

35:25.011 --> 35:28.305
be greeted and everything. And she's like, oh, by the way, I brought a friend

35:28.805 --> 35:31.918
with me. Here he is. Here he is. And Lane Smith, who are

35:32.418 --> 35:35.516
you? And he's got his camera and he's like,

35:35.532 --> 35:38.680
you know, Warners, what's going on? You know, we don't— blah,

35:38.696 --> 35:41.008
blah, blah, all his shit. Um, and, uh,

35:41.811 --> 35:45.152
but then he goes up to, to Lane Smith, to Walter, and he goes like,

35:45.168 --> 35:48.637
hey, we've been acquainted. But wait, don't worry, as soon as you left, I popped

35:49.137 --> 35:52.330
your daughter's trunk. And I always love that line. I really do. I think it's

35:52.830 --> 35:56.426
very funny. Oh, dear God. So for the drive from the airport back to

35:56.926 --> 35:59.810
the farm, uh, Kroll is just like, like standing in the back of the truck

36:00.419 --> 36:04.088
and he's singing the, you know, classic '90s— dude, me and my friends were always

36:04.120 --> 36:06.908
doing this shit, singing the Green Acres theme song. So weird.

36:08.286 --> 36:11.475
This is totally a movie that was written by a guy who was 50 at

36:11.491 --> 36:14.375
the time. I'm sure. Well, being like 3 or 4 of them, apparently, like up

36:14.875 --> 36:17.403
to 6 of them. Combined age of the writers was 408.

36:17.884 --> 36:21.793
Um, exactly. But yeah, so he's singing the Green Acres song,

36:22.290 --> 36:25.687
they get to the farm, it's a beautiful farmhouse and everything, and, and he gets

36:25.735 --> 36:29.260
out and he Like, he's doing stuff like, film me while I touch

36:29.760 --> 36:32.280
the ground, and like all this kind of stuff. It's very strange. He's like pretending

36:32.780 --> 36:36.400
to like paddle on the ground like he's surfing. He's like, Middle America,

36:36.900 --> 36:40.200
ripping the fields. It's like, fucking turn this down a little

36:40.700 --> 36:43.720
bit. You just got here. Like, you have to have met other people before.

36:44.220 --> 36:46.700
You know this doesn't go over. And now he says he's never been on a

36:47.200 --> 36:50.020
farm before. That seems legit. Like, that's fine, you know? Um, but he hears chickens

36:50.520 --> 36:53.020
clucking and he's like, I love chickens! And he goes off and he's like chasing

36:53.520 --> 36:56.180
these chickens with the camera, and they run into a pen. And so he goes

36:56.680 --> 36:59.540
to like undo the chain of the pen, and then that's when we meet Theo.

37:00.040 --> 37:02.380
I don't think we've— maybe Theo was at graduation, but he's this big huge farmhand

37:02.880 --> 37:06.140
guy, way, way, way big, big fat guy. And, um, you know,

37:06.640 --> 37:08.960
he says— Could not hang from the fire sprinkler. No, no, no, no, no,

37:09.460 --> 37:12.560
this, this man is 300 plus. Like, so, but he, he goes like, you know,

37:13.060 --> 37:14.340
I wouldn't do that if I were you. You know, he's like, oh, what,

37:14.840 --> 37:17.300
man, chickens, no big deal. He goes, no, there's a bull in there. So Krawl

37:17.800 --> 37:21.109
just gets an immediate sort of introduction to like not every animal that

37:21.609 --> 37:23.368
you're gonna run into on the farm is one you necessarily want to get close

37:23.449 --> 37:26.373
to. Yes. Which is a good lesson to learn, I feel like, right away when

37:26.873 --> 37:30.420
you're on a farm. So Travis is trying to like pull Becca

37:30.920 --> 37:32.839
aside, like, hey, I need to talk to you, right? So he pulls her into

37:33.339 --> 37:36.701
the barn, immediately plops his Reebok Pump right into a big old,

37:37.456 --> 37:41.296
big old pile of poop. Huge cow patty. Which is great. I don't

37:41.376 --> 37:45.040
like to see Reebok Pumps destroyed, but I think for comedic effect

37:45.540 --> 37:48.326
it's okay. I do think in general we need to protect Them. Yeah, protect the

37:48.826 --> 37:52.437
pumps. They're a UNESCO World Heritage Site, every Reebok

37:52.501 --> 37:56.403
pump. Um, and then we've got Krawlik continuing

37:56.611 --> 37:59.726
again doing jokes that are, are not hitting with

38:00.226 --> 38:03.499
today's youth. So he sees, uh, Grandpa Mason Adams sitting on the

38:03.999 --> 38:07.658
porch and whittling. He's like, whoa! He's like, which one are you,

38:07.754 --> 38:10.548
Bartles or James? We love your stuff, you know.

38:10.644 --> 38:13.640
Yeah, yeah. Again, even that guy would be like, what? What the fuck is this?

38:13.740 --> 38:16.360
Well, and here's the thing, like, the joke doesn't need to be explained. Like,

38:16.860 --> 38:19.180
which one of you Bartles and James is funny-ish? Like, that's the joke. But then

38:19.680 --> 38:22.180
he goes, Pete, we love your wine cooler. It's like, okay, so now you've explained

38:22.680 --> 38:25.840
the joke to us. Like, I think that's 6-writer syndrome. That might be, yeah.

38:26.340 --> 38:28.640
You know? Yeah, yeah. That or how many notes did the executives give?

38:29.140 --> 38:32.680
Yeah. Um, but so then, uh, we find out that, uh, not a

38:33.180 --> 38:35.340
surprise, like, Kroll is not gonna be staying in Rebecca's room. He's gonna be staying

38:35.840 --> 38:38.920
in Zack's room. Zack's not happy about this. Um, but you know, they bring a

38:39.420 --> 38:42.560
cot upstairs, uh, and they start getting it set up. And so when, when Carl

38:43.060 --> 38:45.813
gets in, Zach starts telling— Carl makes a couple sandwiches, brings one to Zach.

38:45.866 --> 38:49.160
Very lettuce-forward sandwiches. Way too much lettuce. They have like a whole half

38:49.660 --> 38:51.900
a head of lettuce sticking out of each of them. It's crazy. Really crazy.

38:52.400 --> 38:54.760
I am not a big lettuce fan on sandwiches to begin with, but it's like

38:55.260 --> 38:58.040
one slice or a little pile of shred and you're done, you know? Um,

38:58.540 --> 39:00.580
and so he, uh, he gets up there and Zach is kind of like,

39:01.080 --> 39:04.120
well, these are the rules of my, of my room. Rule number 1, don't touch

39:04.620 --> 39:07.690
anything. And Carl's like, what's rule number 2? There is no rule number 2.

39:07.940 --> 39:11.520
Don't touch anything. Yeah. And that's when Carl looks at me and goes,

39:12.020 --> 39:14.780
you ever meet the Tooth Fairy? And I'm like, this is the darkest fucking moment

39:15.280 --> 39:18.080
of this entire movie. In a movie where 2 people are drugged later on.

39:18.180 --> 39:21.040
Yeah, seriously, right? This is the darkest moment. Because when you— I am not sure

39:21.540 --> 39:24.580
where he's going with this. And finally Zach starts screaming and he's like, no,

39:25.080 --> 39:26.980
no, no, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But it's like, dude, you just met

39:27.480 --> 39:31.760
this boy like less than an hour ago. You are an adult man.

39:32.260 --> 39:34.580
Like, he's in his 6th year of college. He's like 24 years old and you

39:35.080 --> 39:37.952
just threatened this child. Have you ever met the Tooth Fairy? Like,

39:38.001 --> 39:41.369
that's fucked up, dude. Right. Well, you threaten this child

39:41.869 --> 39:45.331
who has like, you know, 90 Hustlers stacked up on his bookshelf

39:45.831 --> 39:47.978
and stuff. He can be advanced and still a child. That's the thing. Yeah,

39:48.026 --> 39:51.170
that's right. He's very advanced. I could still be scared of the dark,

39:51.234 --> 39:54.201
but I have a subscription to Juggs. Um,

39:55.661 --> 39:59.366
so, uh, so Travis obviously is kind of pissed

39:59.866 --> 40:03.473
about Krawl being here. Um, and when they're there at dinner, again,

40:03.601 --> 40:06.458
Travis Travis jumping the gun. Like, dude, you gotta pick a better moment than this.

40:06.570 --> 40:09.058
Oh, well, no, before dinner, still in the barn, he goes to get down on

40:09.558 --> 40:12.926
one knee. Oh, that's right. And Rebecca goes like, oh, I'm feeling sick

40:13.426 --> 40:15.189
or something, whatever. And she kind of like— and he's like, oh, okay, no big

40:15.689 --> 40:18.270
deal, no big deal. So they go and, and they leave. And this is— and

40:18.351 --> 40:21.432
then, um, Kroll tells Rebecca when she gets back to the house, and Travis

40:21.932 --> 40:24.321
just, I think, just goes like, I'll see you later, whatever. He's like, I don't

40:24.821 --> 40:26.680
feel like I'm dressed, I need some rustic wear. And so they go to like,

40:26.728 --> 40:29.633
you know, the Western store or whatever.

40:30.728 --> 40:33.996
and pick him out. And of course, you know, we don't get to see what

40:34.496 --> 40:37.205
he actually picks. You know, he's like pulling a bunch of stuff off, like whatever,

40:37.942 --> 40:40.733
trying a few things on. But the whole point is that there's dinner at their

40:41.233 --> 40:45.145
local country club that night, right? And, you know, everybody there is wearing either

40:45.161 --> 40:48.561
like sport coat and slacks or a suit or whatever. Like, you know, they're not

40:48.690 --> 40:51.994
dressed like farmers. They're dressed like they're at a country club. Like, it's different.

40:52.042 --> 40:55.603
But he shows up with Rebecca and he is wearing the most ridiculous—

40:56.103 --> 40:58.972
it's like bike shorts under Daisy Dukes. Thank God for the bike shorts. Yeah.

40:59.116 --> 41:01.265
Crazy-looking shoes, like bright red,

41:02.380 --> 41:06.050
Low-cut cowboy boots. Yeah, I didn't understand those shoes. Leg warmers.

41:06.550 --> 41:09.530
Like, I don't know what's going on. Everything is crazy. Yeah. And when they were

41:10.030 --> 41:12.730
going to like look for the Rustic Wear, there's kind of like a small— they

41:13.230 --> 41:16.110
ran into, uh, Tracy. Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah. The store there. Yes.

41:16.610 --> 41:19.750
Um, but when Kroll's walking up, he still has his video camera, and there's 2

41:20.250 --> 41:22.540
guys like sitting on the bench outside of the store, and he goes,

41:23.490 --> 41:26.910
inbreeders! And just shows them like— again, Kroll, not cool,

41:27.410 --> 41:30.848
man. Like, yeah, seriously, why are you not getting punched? And then he put

41:31.348 --> 41:34.437
on, uh, assless chaps. Oh, that's right. As a joke, but it showed him from

41:34.469 --> 41:37.482
the front and it showed that he clearly had pants on under. Clearly did.

41:37.578 --> 41:41.231
And then turned around and they were assless. So are these just front-only pants,

41:41.440 --> 41:44.741
or is there— I wouldn't expect a continuity error out of

41:45.241 --> 41:47.705
a film like this, but I think we might see one. Where's the script supervisor?

41:47.849 --> 41:51.294
This is unacceptable. We need a 7th or 8th writer to

41:51.794 --> 41:54.884
make this right. Come on now. Yeah, so this dinner, Kroll is like

41:54.964 --> 41:58.426
insanely out of place. He's insane. Even more than he was before. Right, and he

41:58.490 --> 42:01.808
thinks, and for whatever reason, he thinks he's fitting in. He thinks he's like more

42:02.337 --> 42:05.704
like them now. Look, I'm fitting in now. It's like, dude, bro, no.

42:06.521 --> 42:09.647
But Travis decides this is the time to propose to Rebecca.

42:10.593 --> 42:12.452
Gets up in front of this entire room of people, and I get that it's

42:12.952 --> 42:14.905
a small town, but he's like, oh, since I think of all of you as

42:15.017 --> 42:18.544
family, like, you know everybody in this room, really? Like, how small is this

42:19.044 --> 42:22.263
town? But, you know, he proposes, and Rebecca like kicks Kroll,

42:22.359 --> 42:25.341
like, do something, you know? And he goes like, oh, you know,

42:25.357 --> 42:28.387
she can't 'cause she already, I pressed her 2 weeks ago, and we're gonna get

42:28.403 --> 42:31.502
married. And it's like, so this is the way to solve

42:31.534 --> 42:35.885
this problem that Kroll comes up with in the instant, which, to his defense

42:36.385 --> 42:38.181
or whatever, it's not like he was given time. He just had to come up

42:38.681 --> 42:42.436
with something right away. Travis bolts. He runs

42:42.936 --> 42:46.546
out. Rebecca follows, whatever. Kroll follows. And then Travis just

42:47.046 --> 42:50.063
punches Kroll in the face. And Kroll does not react well to this.

42:50.159 --> 42:52.599
He kind of crumples, I guess is the best way to put it.

42:53.836 --> 42:57.790
Yeah. And Kroll and Rebecca decide, Look, we just

42:58.290 --> 43:00.830
gotta— let's ride this out to the end of the week, and we'll deal with

43:01.330 --> 43:04.450
it then. But can we just, like, you know... Pretend to be engaged for a

43:04.950 --> 43:08.190
house. Yeah, exactly. Um, and the parents plan to, like,

43:08.690 --> 43:12.250
forbid. They're like, oh, we're going to forbid this. We can

43:12.750 --> 43:16.390
ground her. Can't we? What does that do? Again, this is kinda like Michael

43:16.890 --> 43:19.970
Scott declaring bankruptcy in The Office. Just 'cause you say it doesn't mean

43:20.470 --> 43:22.970
it has any effect on it. And the mom, Connie, is smart enough to say,

43:23.470 --> 43:25.650
if we forbid this, then she'll still do it, and we'll just never see her

43:26.150 --> 43:26.770
again. So we gotta be careful here. Which is smart. That's the right move.

43:28.410 --> 43:31.900
But basically, you know, I think very reasonably, Walter Lane, he goes

43:32.400 --> 43:34.140
up to Kroll and says like, you know, how are you going to support my

43:34.640 --> 43:37.060
daughter? Like, what are you planning on doing? You know? And he goes, well,

43:37.560 --> 43:39.780
what do you do? He's like, I run this farm. And he's like, well,

43:40.280 --> 43:42.620
I'll learn to be a farmer. And they all think this is hilarious. Theo,

43:43.120 --> 43:45.880
Pappy, and Walter all laughing their asses off. Yeah. But he's like, okay, all right,

43:46.380 --> 43:48.950
you'll, you'll, you'll get up with Theo and you'll do farm work in the morning.

43:49.180 --> 43:52.540
So of course Theo wakes Kroll up before dawn,

43:52.600 --> 43:55.930
you know, like, yeah, real early, uh, and starts showing him different things.

43:56.090 --> 43:59.540
like trying to, you know, putting feed in like all these troughs all the way

44:00.040 --> 44:02.880
down this thing with this huge bag and, uh, you know, putting slop in the

44:03.380 --> 44:05.460
pig trough. And then, you know, he tells him, oh, get on this side of

44:05.960 --> 44:08.160
the fence so you don't get trampled by these pigs. But then he lets another

44:08.660 --> 44:10.920
pig out that way and it sort of runs him over. So Carl is like

44:11.420 --> 44:13.460
not having a good time. He gets— he goes face first into a pile of

44:13.960 --> 44:17.420
manure. Yeah, he's a whole bunch of bad stuff. And there's— and then he gets,

44:17.920 --> 44:20.980
uh, he's trying to milk a cow and it just pees directly into his face.

44:21.060 --> 44:24.330
So he's sitting right in the line of fire. I mean, right behind the cow.

44:25.445 --> 44:28.225
Uh, and then at the end of the farming day, he pops straight into the

44:28.257 --> 44:31.686
dinner table in the same clothes and just not

44:31.766 --> 44:33.577
rinsing pee off of himself at all.

44:34.891 --> 44:38.433
They're having a very nice, uh, like big lunch,

44:38.513 --> 44:42.118
look like fried chicken or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, good stuff. Um, and they kind

44:42.618 --> 44:45.868
of get into a little argument there. Yeah, yeah. And Carl's like, you know,

44:46.125 --> 44:49.986
fine, like I'll get out of here, but doesn't get up to really intentionally leave.

44:50.035 --> 44:53.300
He kind of does just a, fine, I'm out of here, looking over his

44:53.800 --> 44:57.340
shoulder every 2 seconds. Like, okay guys, whatever, I guess you don't want me here.

44:57.840 --> 45:01.000
See ya. Um, but Zach offers to help him basically, and because he says like,

45:01.500 --> 45:04.820
look, I'm gonna try— like, because I think Lane says, uh, uh, Walter says like,

45:05.320 --> 45:06.879
I guess your farming days are over. He goes, nah, I just gotta like get

45:07.379 --> 45:09.420
into my— find my groove. I gotta try. Which is like, to his credit,

45:09.920 --> 45:11.800
right, he's not just gonna give up right away after half a day. He wants

45:12.300 --> 45:15.340
to keep trying. And this inspires Zach, who we learn is like, you know,

45:15.840 --> 45:18.180
not into the stuff his dad's into. He doesn't care about farming, he doesn't care

45:18.680 --> 45:22.008
about fishing, he likes video games, He likes computers, all this stuff. But he offers

45:22.040 --> 45:25.284
to show Kroll how to actually milk the cow, which is a

45:25.332 --> 45:28.335
great little, you know, sort of moment. Oh, earlier during the thing,

45:29.105 --> 45:32.237
Kroll accidentally ran through a fence with a tractor when Theo was trying to help

45:32.737 --> 45:34.950
him hook something up. So then Kroll goes and he's like fixing the fence.

45:35.030 --> 45:38.483
Yeah. Like, you know, so we see him already sort of turning and being a

45:38.983 --> 45:42.657
little more useful than he started off with. And then he's

45:43.157 --> 45:46.623
kind of figuring out techniques to do these things, right? Yes. So we get kind

45:47.123 --> 45:50.842
of another little montage where the feed bags, instead of like lugging the feed bag

45:51.003 --> 45:54.868
up this hill and pouring a little bit into each trough, he just like straps

45:55.368 --> 45:58.203
them to his back, puts on rollerblades, rollerblades down the hill.

45:58.476 --> 46:01.763
For some reason, the feed like shoots out sideways just enough to land

46:02.263 --> 46:05.195
in the trough instead of just falling straight down. A tiny amount. Like,

46:05.436 --> 46:08.627
he puts a couple of kernels. You gotta put one bag in each thing,

46:08.803 --> 46:11.930
dude. I mean, really cool that you can rollerblade,

46:11.962 --> 46:15.700
but our pigs are starving. Right, exactly. And then he goes and

46:16.200 --> 46:18.160
Theo tries to get him with the pig trough again and get the pig to

46:18.660 --> 46:21.380
trample him. And instead he's able to like prepare for it and then sort of

46:21.880 --> 46:24.040
ride the pig. And so we, we see that he's like getting the hang of

46:24.540 --> 46:26.940
it, right? That's the whole point here. And then he sees under this, there's this

46:27.440 --> 46:30.040
huge tarp with this big machine and he crawls, you know, he gets— crawls.

46:30.619 --> 46:33.200
Crawls. He gets underneath the tarp and climbs in and he starts playing around.

46:33.700 --> 46:35.820
He finds a John Denver cassette and puts it in and figures out how to

46:36.320 --> 46:38.240
turn it all on. Like kind of, you know, there's keys and whatever, but he's

46:38.740 --> 46:40.600
like, obviously doesn't know what he's doing. He's playing with this joystick like it's a

46:41.100 --> 46:44.000
video game, but this is a combine. This is, you know, know, like, uh,

46:44.500 --> 46:48.360
Walter even says, that's a $250,000 machine. Like, you know, it's an expensive, huge piece

46:48.860 --> 46:52.100
of like, uh, farming equipment. And he ends up going— as,

46:52.600 --> 46:55.740
as, uh, Thank God I'm a Country Boy by John Denver plays, another pretty good

46:56.240 --> 46:59.140
needle drop for this, for this movie, uh, he goes into the cornfield with the,

46:59.640 --> 47:02.840
with the combine. Yeah, so he realizes he's moving, the tarp gets pulled off,

47:03.340 --> 47:05.420
and he's kind of like, whoa. And instead of immediately being like, let me turn

47:05.920 --> 47:09.798
this thing off, he's just like, all right, I'm driving this thing now. And Walter

47:10.298 --> 47:13.180
and Theo are chasing him in the combine, whatever. And then he turns around at

47:13.680 --> 47:16.563
one point, although we end up seeing from like a crop dusting plane that flies

47:17.063 --> 47:20.650
over him, that he perfectly wrote crawl in cursive into

47:21.150 --> 47:24.145
the cornfield. Like, right, right.

47:24.386 --> 47:27.511
That's my Lorne Michaels impression. Right.

47:27.688 --> 47:30.493
Yeah. And during this time, the dad,

47:30.557 --> 47:33.122
he'll call him crotch, crap.

47:33.443 --> 47:36.890
Like, he calls him different names. names. Um, but yeah,

47:37.130 --> 47:41.059
writing his name perfectly in there, and then again just pulls right back

47:41.559 --> 47:44.186
in and stops it and hops out, just kind of like, yeah, look at that,

47:44.202 --> 47:47.425
I can drive. And it's like, you should be arrested at this

47:47.489 --> 47:51.017
point, right? It's like grand theft. And also like, that's got to be

47:51.517 --> 47:54.513
a complicated machine you need to be trained on to like do.

47:54.641 --> 47:57.736
It's crazy. Um, so later that night, he's gotten all cleaned

47:58.236 --> 48:00.751
up, but he goes— he walking past one of the bathrooms in like the,

48:00.799 --> 48:04.090
the upstairs hall or whatever, he sees, well, a woman he thinks is Rebecca,

48:04.590 --> 48:05.930
like, wrapped in a towel, and he kind of goes up and gooses her or

48:06.430 --> 48:09.050
whatever. But it's Connie, it's the mom. At first he's like, oh, I'm so sorry,

48:09.550 --> 48:11.390
I'm so sorry. But then he's like, you know, you look, you look good.

48:11.890 --> 48:13.590
Like, why don't you ever get dressed up? Like, get dolled up? Like, because,

48:14.090 --> 48:16.010
you know, you got a lot to work with here. Like, whatever. He's, you know,

48:16.510 --> 48:18.840
flattering her, but he's not being— in this case, he's not really being flirty.

48:18.990 --> 48:22.750
Yeah, no, he's being— it definitely, uh, has like, oh, I didn't realize you

48:23.250 --> 48:26.530
had a sister vibe. Yeah, like, just kind of being like charming towards

48:27.030 --> 48:30.130
the mom. But yeah, not being creepy, not being too creepy. I mean, but on

48:30.630 --> 48:34.170
the Kroll scale, he's low on the creepiness. Like, where he's been, he's low on

48:34.670 --> 48:36.950
it. And he basically says, like, you know, let me help you out. Give me

48:37.450 --> 48:39.590
5 minutes. If you don't like what I'll do, you know, to kind of make

48:40.090 --> 48:41.970
you over, then we'll take it off and we'll never talk about it again.

48:42.470 --> 48:45.790
Like, whatever. But the family's going to a square dance. And so Walter calls up

48:46.290 --> 48:49.510
like, oh, we gotta get going. We're gonna be late. Like, where's everybody? And Connie

48:50.010 --> 48:52.490
calls down like, we'll be— go ahead. Kroll and I will be a few minutes

48:52.990 --> 48:55.370
behind. Which is like, that seems— I mean, from his perspective, he's like, what the

48:55.870 --> 48:57.720
fuck are you doing with that guy who's in here? Right. Like, that's crazy.

48:57.790 --> 49:00.825
But they're kind of getting her all dolled up We

49:01.325 --> 49:04.341
get to the square dance. Uh, an actual personal favorite song of mine, though I

49:04.357 --> 49:07.070
don't love this rendition, but the original Brooks and Dunn one is good. Boot Scootin'

49:07.086 --> 49:10.361
Boogie is playing. This is a good, good classic, like '90s, uh, you know,

49:10.393 --> 49:13.411
I think maybe it was like '80s, but, you know, decent country tune. Yeah.

49:13.491 --> 49:16.702
Uh, and they're all doing their square dance, and it looks very hoedown, you know,

49:16.718 --> 49:20.330
like, uh, I don't know, very the kind of shit we learned for no

49:20.830 --> 49:24.311
good reason in elementary school. Yeah, that they still do. My daughter is doing,

49:24.568 --> 49:28.728
uh, dancing and square dancing in gym. I'm sorry. Now, yeah, it's crazy.

49:29.306 --> 49:32.632
Um, and so they walk in. Yeah, Kroll and Mom walk

49:32.761 --> 49:36.553
in. Yeah. And we see, uh, we see Dad kind of catch a glimpse

49:37.053 --> 49:40.698
of her, and man— Hey everyone, we had some technical difficulties

49:40.891 --> 49:44.249
with this episode, so we're gonna skip ahead in the movie a little bit,

49:44.651 --> 49:48.539
uh, to catch you up. Basically, the important stuff here is that Travis has offered

49:49.039 --> 49:52.299
to throw a bachelor party for Kroll. Uh, he has asked Tracy to

49:52.799 --> 49:55.544
do him a favor. So we are now going to join back into the action.

49:55.642 --> 49:59.570
We are at Kroll's bachelor party. I believe he's about to do some karaoke.

49:59.651 --> 50:02.606
So let's get back to the episode. Thanks.

50:03.907 --> 50:07.265
So Kroll decides it's time to do karaoke, and he's obviously— now that he's heard

50:07.765 --> 50:10.333
it once, he knows Thank God I'm a Country Boy by John Denver. So he

50:10.623 --> 50:13.693
fires that up and gets up on stage. Plus, they already paid for the rights

50:14.193 --> 50:16.040
for that song. That's right. You got to use it at least twice. Yeah,

50:16.154 --> 50:19.375
to get your money's worth out of it. John Denver's a fucking shark,

50:19.521 --> 50:23.125
by the way. Yeah, Kroll gets on stage and starts doing karaoke,

50:23.381 --> 50:26.603
uh, but then, uh, the more entertainment arrives. That's right,

50:27.068 --> 50:29.536
that's right. I gotta say, if you're planning a party and you have a fun

50:29.568 --> 50:32.822
thing happening, like, don't interrupt that with the next thing. You don't know how long

50:32.854 --> 50:35.819
the far— the party's gonna go, right? That's true. I do, I do think,

50:36.044 --> 50:39.794
uh, you know, Tracy probably wasn't really interested in listening to Kroll sing,

50:39.987 --> 50:43.096
whatever you call that, so she shows up and is like— He's so offbeat with

50:43.596 --> 50:46.222
that. I mean, when he's in the— when he's in the combine, it's even worse,

50:46.238 --> 50:49.850
but it's like, come on, man, you can read. You've heard this before,

50:50.350 --> 50:54.010
right? Apparently he hasn't. Yeah. Yeah, so Tracy shows up and he's like, hey guys,

50:54.510 --> 50:58.150
are you ready for the real entertainment? And it's like, okay. Yeah. Is this a

50:58.650 --> 51:01.930
bachelor party? Although I do think it's interesting, right? So in Travis's world,

51:02.430 --> 51:05.510
he believes Kroll and Rebecca are really engaged, right? We know different, but like he

51:06.010 --> 51:09.210
believes it's real and he's trying to like hatch a plan here. We've already talked

51:09.710 --> 51:12.990
about what he did with Kroll's drink. But like really, you're gonna pick

51:13.490 --> 51:15.930
the girl that you're having an affair with to like do that? Like it seems

51:16.430 --> 51:18.370
like dangerous. Seems like there's plenty of random people he could have recruited for this.

51:20.278 --> 51:24.021
There's at least 20 other girls in the graduating class. Yeah, exactly.

51:25.541 --> 51:28.856
But yeah, interesting choice. I mean, he's trying to keep it close. I think it

51:29.356 --> 51:32.091
shows Travis's lack of imagination in general. For the most part.

51:32.188 --> 51:36.054
Yeah, so he's gonna get Tracy involved here. Uh, and of course,

51:36.135 --> 51:40.069
you know, Kroll had just been, uh, given like an entire

51:40.345 --> 51:44.202
like, uh, backhoe scoop full of pills into his beer,

51:44.802 --> 51:48.370
and he finished those. So he passes out and, uh,

51:48.870 --> 51:51.550
and Tracy's— Yeah, not after she basically lap dances him, right? Yeah, so okay,

51:52.050 --> 51:54.470
we need to get to the important part for the 13-year-old versions of ourselves.

51:54.500 --> 51:57.630
I was gonna say, this was like the most important scene in

51:58.130 --> 52:00.090
the movie, I think, for a few times. I'm sorry to gloss that over.

52:00.210 --> 52:03.850
Fair, but like, it was something that, you know, look, we all loved Kelly Kapowski.

52:04.030 --> 52:06.930
That was like pretty universal. I mean, you may have preferred like Lisa or Jessie

52:07.430 --> 52:09.510
or whatever, you know what I mean? Like, it's fine, but like, she was hot

52:10.010 --> 52:12.690
and we all like can at least agree on that part of it. of it.

52:13.190 --> 52:16.310
Uh, and then to have her like act in this role that's like intended to

52:16.810 --> 52:19.730
be sexy and sensual was like such a change, even though it didn't really show

52:20.230 --> 52:22.650
more than like a bathing suit would show. Like, it's not like she was topless

52:23.150 --> 52:25.630
or anything, but oh my God. But going from Saved by the Bell, which is

52:26.130 --> 52:29.690
a kids' Saturday morning show, you know, it wasn't— it wasn't like 90210

52:30.190 --> 52:33.350
or The O.C. or something like that. So it was really restricted as far as

52:33.850 --> 52:37.430
showing, you know, like anything, right? Other than the racism

52:37.930 --> 52:41.110
or Zack being like dressed in like an Indian headdress or, you know,

52:41.610 --> 52:42.410
playing wheelchair basketball when he's not in a wheelchair and various things like that.

52:44.210 --> 52:47.170
But, you know, we'll, we'll do a Saved by the Bell side podcast. And you

52:47.670 --> 52:49.990
can do all that, but you can't say the word meth. You gotta make sure

52:50.490 --> 52:53.950
it's caffeine pills that Jessie freaks out on. It can't be meth, can't be

52:54.450 --> 52:57.750
crank. I'm surprised they said caffeine and they didn't call them coffee pills or something

52:58.250 --> 53:03.110
even more like— Diet pills. They're diet pills. It's Fen-Phen.

53:03.210 --> 53:06.730
So, so Tracy is, uh, is beginning to give Krawl this

53:07.230 --> 53:10.570
little, uh, lap dance, which is wonderful. Great PG-13, uh, kind of

53:11.070 --> 53:14.391
style lap dance. And, uh, and Carl just conks out. Just conks

53:14.891 --> 53:17.248
out. So too much drugs, too many drugs, too much beer. Although actually, you know,

53:17.280 --> 53:19.848
this guy's tolerance should be pretty high. Maybe that's why Theo had to dump like

53:20.348 --> 53:23.218
half the prescription bottle into the beer. They figured this guy's from California,

53:23.684 --> 53:26.251
he's probably got all these drugs running through his system already, we got to make

53:26.267 --> 53:29.991
sure we overpower him. Um, but of course Tracy gets the, the universal

53:30.023 --> 53:33.955
signal for no, don't do this moments later when Travis is handed another

53:34.455 --> 53:37.213
beer by Theo. We haven't seen Theo do anything with this beer, but we can

53:37.713 --> 53:40.197
make assumptions. Right? Hands it to Travis. Travis hands it to Tracy. She takes one

53:40.309 --> 53:43.502
sip and he goes, oh no, no, no, drink more, like chug it,

53:43.518 --> 53:46.165
and sort of even like tips the bottom of the glass towards her face so

53:46.665 --> 53:50.015
that she drinks faster. Never. That is— I mean, if you need a red flag,

53:50.079 --> 53:53.432
that, that's a fucking vermilion crimson. Oh my God,

53:53.448 --> 53:56.849
like every shade of red there is. Like, it's so bad. Don't do

53:57.349 --> 54:00.458
that. Unbelievable. Never do it, especially if someone grabs the bottom

54:00.958 --> 54:03.587
of your cup and kind of tips it up towards your mouth. Like,

54:03.795 --> 54:07.160
unless Unless it's, uh, Triaminic and you're a 6-year-old with a cold,

54:07.700 --> 54:10.440
like, get the fuck out of here. That is a creep move, you know?

54:10.540 --> 54:12.980
Commercially, they can bump the kid's chin up to make sure he like swallows it

54:13.480 --> 54:16.740
all. It's like, Jesus Christ, take your castor oil, fucko. Oh my

54:17.240 --> 54:20.680
God. So, uh, so that's kind of, you know,

54:21.180 --> 54:23.700
Tracy's out and, uh— Well, yeah, we still— we don't really— we don't cut away

54:24.200 --> 54:25.420
from it, right? We kind of cut away from the party. We cut back to

54:25.920 --> 54:28.940
the house, the Warner house. It's the morning now and Theo's like, oh man,

54:29.440 --> 54:31.825
big night or whatever. And, and somebody says something about like, oh, I bet Kroll's

54:32.325 --> 54:35.095
sleeping it off, uh, up in his room, whatever. And, and Zach's like, not— he

54:35.595 --> 54:37.852
didn't come home to my room, he's not on the cot, whatever. And Theo's like,

54:37.916 --> 54:40.465
oh gee, I heard a bunch of huffing and puffing out in the barn last

54:40.965 --> 54:44.601
night, maybe you should check that out. Uh, and so Rebecca takes like water out

54:44.649 --> 54:46.540
to him or something, or I don't know what she has, like a pitcher of

54:46.556 --> 54:49.553
water, and she goes out there. But of course she doesn't find Kroll alone,

54:49.602 --> 54:53.160
she finds Kroll and Tracy sort of tangled up together, half clothed, uh,

54:53.368 --> 54:56.125
on a hay bale, which is probably the least comfortable thing to sleep on without

54:56.625 --> 55:00.360
a blanket or whatever. Oh. But they, you know, she wakes them up and is

55:00.860 --> 55:04.180
freaked out and pissed off. And Tracy's confused and Carl is confused. Like, nobody knows

55:04.680 --> 55:07.400
what's going on. And she pours the water on his head, which is a great

55:07.900 --> 55:09.920
way to wake up if you're like real hungover. She just dumps it out,

55:10.420 --> 55:12.420
I thought. Maybe she just dumps it in his mouth. It spills out and she

55:12.920 --> 55:15.580
just goes like, oops, or something like that. Paulie Shore has a nobody's allowed to

55:16.080 --> 55:18.040
dump water on me clause. It would fuck his hair up. Yeah, exactly. It's that

55:18.540 --> 55:21.380
wonderful wavy hair. He spent a lot of time growing the 'do, as he mentioned

55:21.880 --> 55:25.220
earlier. He's been guzzling some brew. So yeah, so everybody's pissed. So Carl

55:25.720 --> 55:28.920
gets up to chase after Rebecca. She kind of barges back into the house and

55:29.420 --> 55:31.360
it's just like to the whole family, like the wedding's off. Yep. Like no more

55:31.860 --> 55:35.320
wedding. Like we're done. And so Carl and Rebecca sort of like argue about this

55:35.820 --> 55:37.560
and like Carl's like, look, I don't know what happened, but I don't think anything

55:38.060 --> 55:40.380
really happened. Like I just, you know, I woke up here like blah blah all

55:40.880 --> 55:44.140
this stuff. And and this is when Travis shows up, I think. Right. And in

55:44.640 --> 55:46.900
the meantime, Tracy's just kind of getting out there. Yeah, just kind of figuring herself

55:47.400 --> 55:50.480
out. She's is she at her car yet? She gets to her car.

55:50.980 --> 55:53.482
No, she shows up the same same. She leaves when. Travis is showing up.

55:53.594 --> 55:57.127
Exactly. And her car, the, the front seat is like pushed like

55:57.191 --> 55:59.760
all the way back. Yeah, like she can't reach the pedals or the steering wheel,

55:59.776 --> 56:02.120
so she has to scoot her car up. But this is when Travis shows up

56:02.620 --> 56:05.075
and it's like, Tracy, like you left the bar with Kroll, you drove away with

56:05.575 --> 56:08.398
him, and what happened? Why are you here? Oh my gosh, you cheat! Like how

56:08.430 --> 56:11.016
dare you? And also like layers in like,

56:11.642 --> 56:14.564
we had something going on and now I feel betrayed by you.

56:15.736 --> 56:19.510
The worst, the worst, man. Yeah,

56:20.010 --> 56:23.230
so, and Tracy's kind of driving away and, uh, and like, you know,

56:23.730 --> 56:26.470
just getting herself together and then finds this pill bottle in her car and kind

56:26.970 --> 56:30.630
of realizes like, oh shit, something's up here, right? Exactly. Uh, and in the meantime,

56:31.130 --> 56:32.990
they're like booting Kroll out of the car. Yeah, Kroll basically is like, fine,

56:33.490 --> 56:35.110
if this is how it's gonna be, like, fuck it, like, I'm out. And he

56:35.610 --> 56:37.870
just like gets his shit and he like puts like, you know, California on a

56:38.370 --> 56:41.170
card— piece of cardboard, and it's like walking down the highway looking to hitchhike from

56:41.670 --> 56:44.610
South Dakota to California. That'll take a while. Uh, but Tracy sees him, kind of

56:45.110 --> 56:46.610
pulls up, and is like, get in the car. And, you know, he's like,

56:47.110 --> 56:48.470
I think we've spent enough time together. Yeah, no, no, something's going on. Get in

56:48.970 --> 56:52.248
the car. And they race on back to the Warners,

56:52.665 --> 56:56.135
who have like— suddenly, here's the thing, there is a moment when Rebecca busts

56:56.279 --> 56:59.941
in to say the wedding's off, a raw turkey is

57:00.054 --> 57:03.652
on the counter. Yeah. And then by the time Tracy

57:03.844 --> 57:07.089
leaves, finds Kroll, and can get back to the house,

57:07.538 --> 57:11.088
a wonderfully, beautifully cooked bird is on the table with all the fixings.

57:11.152 --> 57:14.734
Everybody's changed their clothes. Yeah, dude. It is like now fully Thanksgiving dinner,

57:14.830 --> 57:17.624
and it couldn't be more than 20 minutes. minutes later. No, not at all.

57:17.896 --> 57:21.394
It's like one of those, uh, one of those infomercials for like the Ronco,

57:21.891 --> 57:25.646
uh, rotisserie cooker where they have to have them at different phases of preparation

57:25.742 --> 57:29.320
already ready to show the audience. Yeah, that was really funny because it seemed in

57:29.352 --> 57:32.721
the morning it's like, this is the part where we're kind of like having coffee

57:33.221 --> 57:35.273
and starting to cook, and then when they come back they're like, oh, we're in

57:35.305 --> 57:38.642
the middle of Thanksgiving dinner. Like 8 hours later, you expect to like be eating,

57:38.915 --> 57:41.722
you know, for dinner time, whatever. But so they get back and Travis has been

57:42.222 --> 57:44.819
invited back into the home and, you know, sitting with them, and Theo's there and

57:45.319 --> 57:47.980
everything. And and Travis even says to Rebecca like, "Oh, now that that's over,

57:48.381 --> 57:51.028
you know I still love you, and I think you still love me too." Yeah.

57:51.092 --> 57:54.204
And he goes to like kneel and like propose again, and that's when Tracy comes

57:54.236 --> 57:57.413
in and goes like, "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Yeah. And you

57:57.445 --> 58:01.343
know Travis is like, "Oh, you're such a whore! You should leave. You're like insulting

58:01.359 --> 58:04.231
these people by even being here." Da da da. And she kind of explains,

58:04.263 --> 58:07.424
and Crawl shows up too, and she explains like, "My seat was pushed way far

58:07.472 --> 58:10.937
back. I found these pills in my car. I don't. These are not mine." All

58:11.437 --> 58:14.990
this. And Carl's the one who comments like, I guess somebody pretty big must

58:15.490 --> 58:17.950
have been driving that car. And like Theo, you know, looking at the window.

58:18.250 --> 58:22.630
Yeah. And so he gets asked by Walter like, you know,

58:23.130 --> 58:26.130
now Theo, what do you know about this? You know? And he's like, he doesn't

58:26.630 --> 58:28.570
say anything. He's like, no, no, no. Y'all job is on the line now.

58:29.010 --> 58:32.590
Now, now, now. And finally Theo's just like,

58:33.090 --> 58:35.110
oh gee, it was just a prank. And it's like, yeah, just a prank where

58:35.610 --> 58:39.030
you drugged 2 people, like tried to break up what they thought was a legitimate

58:39.530 --> 58:42.520
engagement. Like, yeah. These two, Travis and Theo, are under the impression they're— these two

58:43.020 --> 58:45.620
are really in love and getting married, so let's break them up. Let's drug two

58:46.120 --> 58:49.600
people. Let's frame them. With just random amounts of pills. Just like— That might kill

58:50.100 --> 58:52.740
them, that might put them to sleep. I mean, yeah. Like, I'm glad they didn't

58:53.240 --> 58:55.680
try to tell us what the pills were. I know, we'd be doing too much

58:56.180 --> 59:00.040
research here. We'd be calling pharmacists and everything right now. Exactly.

59:00.140 --> 59:03.850
Yeah, so Travis, you know, is hemming and hawing and stuff,

59:04.280 --> 59:07.260
and, uh, such bullshit or whatever. They're kind of like, all right, get this guy,

59:07.760 --> 59:11.340
get Travis out of here. And, uh, And he goes to kind of physically like

59:11.840 --> 59:15.520
push back and Kroll steps in and throws a couple martial science moves

59:16.020 --> 59:19.920
on him, right? Martial science moves. Oh, I majored in karate for 2 semesters,

59:20.420 --> 59:23.780
right? Oh, there you go. But yeah, and then Theo gets

59:24.280 --> 59:27.360
kicked out basically. It's like, I'll thank you for being honest, Theo, but you're fired.

59:27.860 --> 59:30.380
You know, that whole thing. And, you know, so they're like done and they invite

59:30.880 --> 59:33.920
Tracy to stay with them for Thanksgiving. They do. And they— oh,

59:34.420 --> 59:37.140
before that, so we gotta cut. We got some Kroll talk. I took a note

59:37.640 --> 59:40.363
here. All right, you got it. So we got Pappy, right? So he says to

59:40.863 --> 59:44.579
Travis, he goes, "Uh, I gotta tell you, Travis really

59:44.611 --> 59:48.443
tweaks my melon to see a buff bro like Crawl get wheezed

59:48.943 --> 59:51.761
on by a greasy scumbag like you.

59:52.322 --> 59:55.753
So you just chill." Bravo, man! I love that you

59:56.253 --> 59:59.744
got the the little the little vibrato on scumbag. That was nice.

01:00:00.177 --> 01:00:04.233
Little Mason Adams impression. I dig it. But yeah, so so this basically

01:00:04.249 --> 01:00:06.028
the key of this all right is that the Warners are balling. bought in.

01:00:06.172 --> 01:00:09.681
They're totally bought in on Kroll. They're, they, they're on his— they're on Team Kroll

01:00:09.793 --> 01:00:13.046
now. Totally. And Travis is garbage and needs to go. But I still— I do

01:00:13.062 --> 01:00:15.321
love that they invite Tracy to sit down for dinner, and it's like, does she

01:00:15.821 --> 01:00:18.990
not have a family? Seriously, like, is it not Thanksgiving? She has to like make

01:00:19.490 --> 01:00:22.115
sure— she just went through a traumatic event. She can at least like get a

01:00:22.615 --> 01:00:25.720
nap in her own bed rather than on hay and then come back. She's like,

01:00:26.024 --> 01:00:29.485
what the fuck, it's 9:45, why are we eating dinner now? I just came

01:00:29.985 --> 01:00:32.978
back here. Yeah, I'll come later, but come on, man. She and Kroll are the

01:00:33.010 --> 01:00:36.684
only ones wearing Like, everybody else has changed at least twice.

01:00:36.925 --> 01:00:40.376
It's way too early for her. The Gumbles are just rubbing the sleep

01:00:40.876 --> 01:00:44.020
out of their eyes for the parade, barely. Like, we're not awake yet. Uh,

01:00:44.325 --> 01:00:47.567
yeah, so really funny ending. But we get the— we get the family all,

01:00:47.937 --> 01:00:51.516
you know, happy together. And then we've got the dad with one last little,

01:00:51.612 --> 01:00:55.465
uh— Walter gets in his sort of like, all right, everybody, let's munch

01:00:55.545 --> 01:00:58.755
on some grindage. And it's— I

01:00:59.255 --> 01:01:01.870
love Lane Smith saying munch on some grindage. And I have a feeling Lane Smith

01:01:03.034 --> 01:01:06.959
I would really enjoy so much, like, behind-the-scenes footage

01:01:07.459 --> 01:01:11.231
of the cast hanging out and, like, just random cast members talking like Pauly Shore.

01:01:11.295 --> 01:01:14.570
Because, like, just the idea that they loved him so much

01:01:15.070 --> 01:01:18.215
and it was infectious— I, I want to live in that world rather than thinking

01:01:18.263 --> 01:01:22.599
that Pauly Shore is, like, more of a— on, as the previously discussed

01:01:23.099 --> 01:01:26.452
Winkler-Seagal spectrum, if he's more on the Seagal side. I don't like that. No,

01:01:26.629 --> 01:01:30.720
I like him being a Winkler. The idea that he would be this totally ludicrous,

01:01:31.220 --> 01:01:34.420
ridiculous personality, public persona, whatever, and then behind the scenes be like,

01:01:34.920 --> 01:01:37.880
yeah, like Henry Winkler, Weird Al Yankovic level of like good guy, right?

01:01:38.380 --> 01:01:39.860
It'd be awesome. I don't know if that's true or not, but that would be—

01:01:40.360 --> 01:01:43.960
that would be choice. That would be perfect. Uh, yeah, so, so yeah,

01:01:44.460 --> 01:01:47.780
so they eat, right? And no, no epilogue. We're just, uh, it's Thanksgiving

01:01:48.280 --> 01:01:51.280
now. We have Thanksgiving. We're all happy. A much more Thanksgiving movie than Grumpy Old

01:01:51.780 --> 01:01:54.224
Men. Maybe the Grumpy Old Men Thanksgiving scene was was like, you know, 5 minutes

01:01:54.724 --> 01:01:57.334
long. This one at least builds up to Thanksgiving, which I do like. Yeah,

01:01:57.414 --> 01:02:00.876
uh, but it is not easy to find Thanksgiving movies. So no, not at all,

01:02:00.892 --> 01:02:04.403
not at all. Um, all right, I'll give my— I'll give my rating first

01:02:04.903 --> 01:02:08.891
on Son-in-Law. So I really enjoy this movie, but I'm also very realistic about what

01:02:09.391 --> 01:02:13.043
it is and what it isn't. Um, I've got nostalgia for it. Uh, you know,

01:02:13.059 --> 01:02:16.730
Kelly Kapowski doing even a 35-second-long striptease is enough to

01:02:17.230 --> 01:02:20.577
like, you know, hold a place in my adolescent memory, right? You know, and and

01:02:20.593 --> 01:02:23.527
it's it's a fun movie. It's a lot of fun. It's sweet in parts.

01:02:23.655 --> 01:02:26.604
It's heartfelt in parts. It's goofy in a lot of it. So you get a

01:02:27.104 --> 01:02:29.153
lot of that just if you like goofy shit. Like this is a very goofy

01:02:29.169 --> 01:02:32.535
movie. That's actually a different movie. We should watch a very goofy movie someday

01:02:33.035 --> 01:02:36.479
as well. But yeah, I really enjoy Son-in-Law, but it's not fantastic.

01:02:36.927 --> 01:02:39.989
I'm going on just on the side of the thumbs up for us and say

01:02:40.085 --> 01:02:42.794
I'm gonna do gonna be a three out of five on Son-in-Law. If you haven't

01:02:43.294 --> 01:02:45.744
seen it a long time and you have any fond memories of it, check it

01:02:46.244 --> 01:02:48.682
out. It really was a fun. trip down memory lane. I think it had been—

01:02:48.971 --> 01:02:51.445
I got at least 15 years since I've seen it. I'm not 100% sure,

01:02:51.525 --> 01:02:54.771
but it's been a while. Uh, and yeah, so I'm a 3 out of 5.

01:02:54.835 --> 01:02:57.743
Nic, what about you? What's your take on Sein Law? Yeah, uh, and again,

01:02:57.791 --> 01:03:01.309
thanks for bringing this, and thanks for bringing a legit, uh, Thanksgiving movie,

01:03:01.566 --> 01:03:05.245
uh, to the table, no pun intended. Um, this is

01:03:05.277 --> 01:03:08.780
definitely the most rewatchable, I think, of the Pauly Shore movies.

01:03:09.358 --> 01:03:12.828
Um, and it's not even for him, like for the other movies, like Encino Man

01:03:13.328 --> 01:03:16.586
I've seen recently Yeah, and his stuff is fine, but some of the like the

01:03:17.086 --> 01:03:20.664
Sean Astin character is so detestable. It's like why are we rooting for this fucking

01:03:20.697 --> 01:03:23.715
guy? But this one is is nice.

01:03:23.908 --> 01:03:28.131
Yeah, it it doesn't seem. I mean, it's dated, but it doesn't seem like painfully

01:03:28.163 --> 01:03:31.856
dated. You know, it's still very fun. Like I mentioned before,

01:03:31.872 --> 01:03:35.517
my daughter enjoyed the movie. We had a good time with it. One thing

01:03:35.533 --> 01:03:38.632
I noticed in the credits is Crawl. Polly Shore

01:03:38.680 --> 01:03:42.660
is listed. It's not just listed as Kroll. Oh, it has his real name,

01:03:42.836 --> 01:03:46.351
which is, which is Fred Kroll. His last name

01:03:46.399 --> 01:03:50.154
is Weasel. So his name is Fred Weasel in this. Oh my God,

01:03:50.218 --> 01:03:53.572
Kroll Weasel. Which is— I love that. And now I want to

01:03:53.588 --> 01:03:56.861
go look back and see. I want to check out some Paulie lore. There you

01:03:56.877 --> 01:03:59.878
go. See if he's been credited as like something Weasel. Reminds me of, uh,

01:04:00.183 --> 01:04:03.360
Ben Weasel, that Screeching Weasel, that punk band. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

01:04:03.392 --> 01:04:06.201
yeah. '90s there. Go find your Shorelord, dude. Yeah.

01:04:07.330 --> 01:04:11.170
But this was fun stuff. And Pauly Shore's stuff, you know,

01:04:11.670 --> 01:04:15.570
it holds up enough to get your family to sit and watch something Thanksgiving-related

01:04:16.070 --> 01:04:19.450
for an hour and a half. I'm with you, Steve. Son-in-Law is a 3

01:04:19.950 --> 01:04:22.910
out of 5 for me. Worth checking out. And if you haven't seen it in

01:04:23.410 --> 01:04:25.310
a while, I think you'd be surprised at how much you still like it.

01:04:25.410 --> 01:04:27.990
That's fair. I think you're definitely right there. So we're a 6 out of 10.

01:04:28.490 --> 01:04:32.290
The 2 dads are 6 out of 10 on Son-in-Law, the Pauly Shore Thanksgiving movie.

01:04:32.430 --> 01:04:35.190
And what are we going to do next week? We got a couple more weeks

01:04:35.690 --> 01:04:39.289
of Thanksgiving movies to come. Yes, sir. Hopefully something that actually actually has Thanksgiving in

01:04:39.789 --> 01:04:42.628
it. What do we think? Yeah, we're going Thanksgiving style here. So, uh,

01:04:42.998 --> 01:04:46.289
for the next film, we are going, uh, we're beginning in

01:04:46.789 --> 01:04:50.063
New York City in 1987. We're starting with, uh, our buddy, uh,

01:04:50.143 --> 01:04:53.643
Neil Page, played by Steve Martin. And Neil needs to get

01:04:53.659 --> 01:04:57.256
home for Thanksgiving with his family, uh, and in order to get

01:04:57.272 --> 01:05:01.350
home, he's gonna have to ride a series of planes, trains, and/or automobiles

01:05:01.383 --> 01:05:06.408
to get there. We're gonna check out Steve Martin, John John Candy in the 1987

01:05:06.505 --> 01:05:10.133
John Hughes classic Planes, Trains and Automobiles. One of my all-time

01:05:10.633 --> 01:05:14.148
favorites and one of the most Thanksgiving-y movies out there. Absolutely. Like, like this

01:05:14.212 --> 01:05:16.428
and like, what is the Holly Hunter movie, Home for the Holidays, are like the

01:05:16.928 --> 01:05:19.735
most like legitimately Thanksgiving. Yeah, like of all movies I can think of.

01:05:20.153 --> 01:05:22.947
Uh, Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a classic. We, you know, we love John Hughes,

01:05:22.963 --> 01:05:26.094
we love John Candy, we love Steve Martin. There's like so much to like.

01:05:26.447 --> 01:05:29.482
Another one of those movies when we get into it, uh, like you'd

01:05:29.550 --> 01:05:33.060
A couple weeks back where like everybody in the movie is someone. Yeah,

01:05:33.560 --> 01:05:36.230
you know, like all the bit parts, you're like, oh, like there's so much other

01:05:36.730 --> 01:05:39.530
stuff. So well, well cast, but also, you know,

01:05:40.030 --> 01:05:42.830
yeah, they just, yeah, they really nailed it. Excellent. So next week we will watch

01:05:43.330 --> 01:05:47.030
Planes, Trains and Automobiles for week 3 of Feast Mode. That's a wrap. If you
