[00:00:18] Speaker A: Welcome to Friendly Competition, a podcast to discover the best of all time. I'm Nick Carey alongside my co host and best friend, Cody Lena. We discussed various pop culture topics and narrowed down to truly the best of all time.
[00:00:29] Speaker B: Or as we like to call it, the boat before. Next up on the boat, put him into a sweet 16 style tournament. We argue each round till we decide a winner. Nick, what criteria do we use when we decide he steps foot on the boat?
[00:00:38] Speaker A: Whatever the hell we want. Code. Do you want to tell them what we're talking about this season?
[00:00:41] Speaker B: God, it's. It's. Again. It's happened again. The law, the moon, and the stars are in alignment. Everything is finally falling into place. If you like completely unhinged South park style humorous that only you can get from here, then you are gonna love the boat. Boat. We're on boat boat six. We're gonna take all the winners for the past 16 seasons that we've done, put them together and see which one comes out swinging. Nick, these are always. I just.
This is a test, isn't it? This is a test of us.
[00:01:10] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:01:11] Speaker B: Our spirit, of our sensuality. I would even go so far as.
[00:01:15] Speaker A: To say I think it's a test of our intelligence. Right. We have to look back. I think it's also. I think it's our penance in a lot of ways. We have to look back at what we've created.
[00:01:22] Speaker B: This is us. This is us walking down the road. And if you're a small village in the medieval times slapping ourselves with a cat of nine tails on the back. Yeah, we've done this to ourselves. Yes.
[00:01:32] Speaker A: This is our Steve Buscemi and spy kids moment where we look out and say, everything. God stays inside. Cause he's afraid of what he's created. This is us deciding to finally step outside. I also forget.
[00:01:44] Speaker B: Everyone forgets when they listen to this show. There is a point to this show, and it is we are going to figure out what the best thing of all time is.
[00:01:51] Speaker A: Yes. It just is. It just loosely is. Takes eight years, right around seven, eight years to do. And. And at current pace, maybe closer to nine. So, you know. But we're here, folks. We're here for you. I did. I do have to make one correction to Cody's. What Cody said about this being South park humor. It is. But, like, circa 2003 to, like, 2010, that. That period.
[00:02:13] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, the prime. We're in that golden age, dude.
[00:02:16] Speaker A: Yeah. This ain't that new. This ain't that new. Libertarian South park mistake.
[00:02:20] Speaker B: My authority. Like, that kind of stuff, Doug.
[00:02:22] Speaker A: Yeah, like that. Like that stuff. Not. Not so much this, like, I mean, white guys should be able to say the n word when it's all said and done, right?
Like, it's just a word.
[00:02:32] Speaker B: It's just a word.
[00:02:33] Speaker A: Yeah. And what, we're just going to police words now? Is that what we're.
[00:02:36] Speaker B: Nick, when I was in high school, I fucking thought like that, man.
[00:02:39] Speaker A: Grow up. That's.
[00:02:40] Speaker B: Everybody needs to grow up.
[00:02:41] Speaker A: South park gets nefarious a little bit on. On these young boys. Cause you're just like, this shit is so funny and so edgy, but then at some point, you have to learn that, like, you don't want to be on the edge forever.
[00:02:51] Speaker B: Guys, I was on the Internet as a teenager. I dodged Andrew tape, but he fucking tagged me. You know, he got a couple people got some tags in there.
[00:02:57] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. So, folks, here we are in group a of boat boat six, where we have the number one seed once again. We took the winners of the last 16 seasons, and we've put them all together to face off. We gave it to our bracketologists. They gave us back the. The rankings. And here we go, folks. With the one seed, we have acrophobia or the fear of heights, coming out of our phobias bracket. Going up against the 16 seed. Our most recent champion, t two, best action movie of the nineties. And then the other matchup we have today is the eight seed h vac coming out of our modern marvel season going up against the nine seed, Scooby doo from our pop culture dogs bracket. Cody, where do you want to start?
[00:03:48] Speaker B: This is. I feel like this is easy. Acrophobia versus t two is where I'd like to start, Nick.
[00:03:52] Speaker A: Okay, you have.
[00:03:53] Speaker B: I feel like if you have a fear of heights, that could be crippling. It could be very tough, but you will quickly get over it if you got the fucking terminator on your six dog, if artist Schwarzenegger's on your ass and he's trying to take you down, you're going to climb, you're going to jump, you're going to parachute out of whatever you need to do.
[00:04:12] Speaker A: I mean, that's fair. I will say they. They kept pretty low to the ground. I wonder how much the. The terminators, the t. The t one and the t 1000. Where are they? Not hype boys? Was that maybe the secret all along is, like, get these boys up high because they never get up high.
[00:04:28] Speaker B: Speaker zero. Because if you. Oh, my God, Nick, if you think about it this way, if you watch Terminator anytime they cut to the future, they destroyed all the tall buildings. Yeah, all the buildings are destroyed. And that's. No, they. It's because they know they can't go up there because they get scared.
[00:04:42] Speaker A: I'm so scared.
No, no, I don't want to go.
[00:04:46] Speaker B: It's called Skynet. So you don't associate it with the sky. Because the sky's their weakness.
[00:04:50] Speaker A: Right. See, that's what. That's how they kept it. They hated in plain sight.
[00:04:54] Speaker B: They always hide your weakness in plain sight. That's why people call me Cody Baloney. Because I love baloneye a wink.
[00:05:01] Speaker A: That's why everyone calls me co or. That's why everyone calls me Nick. Why is your penis hanging out of your pants?
I'm like, my weakness.
[00:05:10] Speaker B: It's my big old hug. My hug.
[00:05:13] Speaker A: And that's actually. It's not even just a physical thing. It's also, if you think about it, a mental thing. How many times have I gotten in trouble because of that guy? You know? Just think. You gotta think about it.
[00:05:22] Speaker B: Sometimes you get your wiener caught in a car door, and everyone's like, oh, look at him. He's got his wiener caught in a car door. It's not funny, guys.
[00:05:28] Speaker A: It's not. It is. And I know I'm laughing right now, but if you were there and you felt what I felt, it wasn't funny. Okay.
[00:05:37] Speaker B: I'm just saying. Okay. Acrophobia probably affects, like, 2%. Like, at the most, 2% of people in the world have this thing, right? But everybody can get got by the Terminator.
[00:05:47] Speaker A: That's fair. But once again, we're talking. We have to be clear, because we do have action hero in this movie, in this bracket. So I feel like we need to talk about the movie itself. Can't just talk about the Terminators. Have to talk about full movie. Do you think. Cody, here's my question to you, and I want you to think about this. And I mean this. And I'm talking about the world. Think about the whole world, not just the United States. Do you think 2% of the world. Because I agree with you. I think 2% of the world probably has a fear of heights. Has 2% of the world seen t two?
[00:06:19] Speaker B: No, but they should.
[00:06:21] Speaker A: I thought you. I thought you'd be a lot bolder than that, if I'm being honest with you.
[00:06:24] Speaker B: Here's the problem.
[00:06:25] Speaker A: Hey, Cody. Here's my balloon.
That's what you just did. Thanks. No, no, no. Great audio. No, no, no. Thank you. No. Yeah. No. Don't play in the space with me. Don't be like, of course they have, Nick. And then we figure out what is, because everyone, we don't even know what percent is. No one even knows what that number is right now.
[00:06:40] Speaker B: Nobody knows. But the problem is Skynet won't let you show it in China. They don't have, like, do you think India has teach? They probably do.
[00:06:47] Speaker A: I think India got t for some reason.
[00:06:51] Speaker B: A lot of people love t two.
[00:06:52] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:06:53] Speaker B: Okay, here's the thing. Would you rather watch fall, I think, is the name, that movie where those girls get caught on the tower which is all about, like, the sphere of heights. Or would you rather watch t two? I think this is easy, dude, hold on.
[00:07:04] Speaker A: No, no. Then we have to be fair. Then we have to be. All right, I will. I will play your game, but then you. Then you have to play mine. I agree. I would rather watch t two than fall, but here's that. Then I would. Then this is me volleying it back to you, Cody.
[00:07:15] Speaker B: Okay, hit.
[00:07:17] Speaker A: Are you. Are you more afraid of heights or cybernetic androids that probably will never exist?
[00:07:22] Speaker B: Cybernetic androids?
[00:07:23] Speaker A: Boom.
[00:07:24] Speaker B: Oh, are you kidding me? Yeah, because every time I'm not afraid of heights. First of all, heights don't bother me. I've been on ladders. It's whatever. But if I. Cybernetic androids might not exist. But then why are there so many movies about it? Nick, they're coming. They're coming. You can't make movies about stuff that's not going to happen.
[00:07:41] Speaker A: I can't have you. I can't have you start sounding like you've been watching only like Fox News and be like, then why do they make so many movies about it? They're putting it in our faces, Nick. They're putting it right in our faces.
[00:07:53] Speaker B: They just want you to know they. They're trying to just get you used to seeing these robots so you're not scared of them. That way, when they turn and you're not expecting it. I'll be expecting it. I'll be expecting it.
[00:08:02] Speaker A: Yeah. The whole time. That's what. That's why. That's why I keep what it. What, did you need a shot?
[00:08:07] Speaker B: No.
[00:08:07] Speaker A: Shouting doesn't really do it.
[00:08:08] Speaker B: But this way, let me put it this, okay? I think this is easy. I think once I say this, you're gonna be like, oh, Cody's right. We're trying to figure out the best thing of all time.
[00:08:16] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:08:16] Speaker B: Terminator two kicks ass. That's acrophobia doesn't. That sucks.
[00:08:24] Speaker A: I. Alright, I'm gonna go with you here. I'm gonna move t two on as. I'm not.
[00:08:28] Speaker B: I. T two. Absolutely. Whoops ass, dude. And acrophobia does not whoop any ass at all.
[00:08:34] Speaker A: It's arguably the opposite. If anything, it's ruining lives. All right, we got t two moving on where it will go up against h vac ac. For those of you not familiar with the turt, with the lingo and the nine seed. Scooby dooby doobie doo.
[00:08:52] Speaker B: Cody, would you rather have a house that's heated and cooled to an appropriate level or a talking dog? That's a hard question. A lot of on the face on face value. Like, that's easy. I want the. Do you, though?
[00:09:03] Speaker A: Do you, do you really want to talking? Here's the thing that we all assume is that our animal, a, would want to talk to us and B, would have cool shit to say. Why would you assume that? What was, what does your animal know? Do you keep your animal inside when you're gone and no tv, nothing for it to, like, ponder and learn.
[00:09:23] Speaker B: Scooby Doo finally makes sense. Scooby Doo.
[00:09:25] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:09:26] Speaker B: I was like, why are these kids always driving around just unsupervised with this dog? Solving mysteries, right. That, like, if you have to make that concession, that that's the plot, but, like, why is that the plot? Why is this happening? It's because they just stayed at home with the dog and the dog wouldn't shut the fuck up, but he had nothing to talk about. So eventually this dog out in the world got to take this dog around because he needs to experience life so we don't have to listen to him talk about his dog food all day.
[00:09:50] Speaker A: Right? Also, do you really want to hear what they think of dog food? That would be. That will break your heart because, like, I've had Sandler now for six years, right? If Sandler gets to talk tomorrow and gets to tell me for a full six years, he's like, dog, this is fucked up, right? Like, you know, that sucks. I see what you eat. You let me have a little bit of what you eat and I'm stuck eating this. Why would you do that to someone you say is your best friend? It's pretty fucked up. And I would just have to stay. I would have to sit in that and I would have to own that. And now my. Now I have to get my dog steak every day.
Every single day, I have to get my dog steak.
[00:10:25] Speaker B: I can't afford this.
[00:10:26] Speaker A: I can't live this life. But now he can talk. So, like, what am I. What am I supposed to do? I can't reason with. I can't be like, hey, I understand. You know what? Why don't I get you the nice wet food then? After six years, you want me just to get the nice. The slightly nicer but still nasty stuff after six years? No, that's cool, bro. I thought we were best friends. That's fine.
[00:10:47] Speaker B: I want a cornish hen.
[00:10:48] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:10:49] Speaker B: Oh, wow.
[00:10:49] Speaker A: Where'd you hear about that? I was watching great british bake off with you, remember?
[00:10:56] Speaker B: Oh, my God. What if it's retroactive, too? So he learns every, like, everything he's ever heard, he didn't understand. He gets to catch up on.
[00:11:02] Speaker A: I'm actually.
[00:11:03] Speaker B: We got. You have some explaining to do, dog.
[00:11:05] Speaker A: I see. That's the. That's the fear, right? I think it's one of those things. It sounds great in theory and then in practice. I don't think we needed this.
[00:11:14] Speaker B: Okay, let me put it this way, though, okay? I was driving my car this week, and it was kind of hot and. Am I kind of hot? I mean, it's like 79, 80 degrees, so it's not even a miserable day. Right?
[00:11:24] Speaker A: Right.
[00:11:24] Speaker B: I turned my car on one day this week. This happened one day. I turned my car on. I have to drive about an hour, and my fan, like, my air conditioning fans won't work. Like, the air conditioner work and the fans won't work.
[00:11:34] Speaker A: Sure.
[00:11:34] Speaker B: And that I wanted to dot. Now, when I turned my car off and turned it back on, everything was fine. Not a problem. But for that 1 hour, I would have killed your dog to get air conditioning. Nick.
[00:11:47] Speaker A: Dude. All right, here's the thing. That I, in general, am pretty confident that h vac is maybe one of the most important things. But then I just look at the rest of the world and I'm like, wow, we are just giant babies over here.
Europe. Europe is like AC. What?
The rich? Oh, I guess, yeah. If you're soft, if you need that. Our building, they didn't have AC back in the 15 hundreds, and that's all my house is. So it's never gonna happen. I fucking survive India. I. I think China's got a lot of AC now. I think China's probably doing decent.
[00:12:26] Speaker B: Japan, not. Japan was rough. I'll say that.
[00:12:29] Speaker A: Right? That's what I'm just saying. There's a lot of cultures where I'm like, do we keep this a secret? Like, what do we not tell people about h vac. This is amazing.
[00:12:39] Speaker B: Okay.
Man, it's hard to turn down a talking dog, though, in it.
[00:12:43] Speaker A: I mean, it's tough. Not. I mean. And also, I mean. And we're talking about the. Talking of. We're talking about Scooby Doo. The, like, incredibly one of those dogs that has one of those cartoons.
[00:12:54] Speaker B: Okay, I gotta go, HVac, because I've. I can't afford to. Scooby doo. Dude, I've seen this dog house, like, a four foot tall sandwich in one bite.
[00:13:02] Speaker A: I gotta feed that thing. You ever make one of those sandwiches, Jeremy, yourself?
[00:13:06] Speaker B: Just, like, for sure, dude, with, like, five loaves, like, five slices of bread in there just to keep the structural.
[00:13:11] Speaker A: Just. Yeah, just. Cause you're like. And then you. Then you're like, what are you gonna do with it? How do you eat it? Is. It is the size of my head. I don't. Huh.
[00:13:19] Speaker B: Cody, are you. Are you trying to toast that on the stove? You're damn right I am.
[00:13:23] Speaker A: Yeah, I am.
You gotta get a good. A good little char on that. You know?
[00:13:29] Speaker B: Where you at?
[00:13:29] Speaker A: Scooby's gonna eat.
Here's the thing. Here's the problem that I have with Scooby is that I like that the world has its mysteries. You know, I don't see why it's my duty to get involved in. In all of these mysteries of the world or of the town and. And who's. And also, where does it end, right? We never see that they ever solve, like, a murder, but that has to be the next step, right? Like, it's a lot of, like, someone opened this abandoned park. The lights are flickering in that old mansion. What do we do? But, like, you got to think that, like, Velma's, like, wants to step it up, right? And you know that Daphne is all about that clout. All about. She'd be an influencer now. So now you got Velma and Daphne driving this group to basically get into deeper and darker shit. All of a sudden, now you're dealing with the county sheriff, who you're pretty sure has murdered and buried, like, five bodies.
[00:14:26] Speaker B: Oh, for sure. He's dirty, Nick. Okay, that lady from law and Order SVU is getting really old, right? She's gotta retiree. She's got to be almost done. I'm saying we replace her. We take the same show, same premise, right? Get rid of her and just put in the cast of Scooby Doo. But make it like. Like they've been doing so good. I'm just saying that a police force somewhere needs to recognize them and get them on the books, man. You need this dog solving your crimes.
[00:14:51] Speaker A: Here's. You're close. The problem is that you've taken ice tea out of the equation, and that's where you fucked up. I say we replace will or whatever his name. It. The other. The white guy. That's not Shaggy.
[00:15:03] Speaker B: He dies in the first place with iced tea. Oh, we kill Fred. Replace him with iced tea.
[00:15:07] Speaker A: We kill Fred. Fred dies. Right. That's actually the cross promotional episode. Is that when you pull up, Fred is dead right away.
[00:15:15] Speaker B: And now, like, we gotta solve this mystery, man. We gotta get it for Fred, bro. Yeah, like that. Yeah, that's the crossover. Yeah, I get it.
[00:15:24] Speaker A: And then. And then we get to have ice tea around Scooby Doo, which is magic. And also, hey, hey, folks. For those of you that are like, that would. That would ruin law and order. SVU. Hey, man, you got, like, 22 seasons of quality content. Maybe we can have some fun on the back end. Okay. Maybe we do get law and order. Scooby victims unit. Okay? Is that such a problem?
[00:15:49] Speaker B: Like, we don't even have to change the name. You don't have to change selfish Nick. I'm luckin in Scooby Doo because at the end of the day, I love h vac. I'm using it right now, but it's not glamorous, it's not sexy, it's not. Well, there's no crossover opportunities with this law and order.
[00:16:06] Speaker A: I mean, you know those episodes when there's, like, a blackout in New York? Those are pretty good ones. Those are pretty good. All right.
[00:16:14] Speaker B: Those are good.
[00:16:14] Speaker A: Here's the thing, Cody. I gotta go with h vac. I can play in the space and we can have a lot of fun. But if we're being honest here, if we're being honest, what's the best? What is one of those? And arguably, too. And I know, I know I made a point about the rest of the world being like, hey, man, are we actually weak for this? Actually, no. I'm going to get back on my America shit. Fuck you for not having it. That's your own damn fault. Live in America, bitches. This shit is sick as fuck. You know about it? Fucking figure it out. I live here, so I get to have it, and it kicks ass. So we will go to the american voting coin of 2004 as brought to you by random.org. we got George Bush facing up, which means John Kerry is on the other side. Low seed gets to pick. That's going to be you. Cody, with. With that nine seed.
[00:16:59] Speaker B: I mean, this is easy. I got to go. Bush. I'm almost 100% sure that when that guy. When he. Bush was reading his favorite book and that guy came and was like, sir, a plane has hit a second tower. He was like, we got to call Scooby Doo. He's the only one that could solve this mystery.
[00:17:12] Speaker A: I really thought the joke you were going to make. I really thought you were going to say, you know. And the person. He was reading that book, and then the person came and said, hey, the towers have fallen. That hit. The first thing he was going to think was, ruh roll. Ruh row.
[00:17:24] Speaker B: He's like, we gotta get the gang on the line.
[00:17:27] Speaker A: Gotta get the.
We gotta get that mystery gang going. But they can't smoke none of that grass now. Well, maybe a little bit.
[00:17:34] Speaker B: As long as old gw.
[00:17:36] Speaker A: All right, we're gonna flip George Bush.
[00:17:38] Speaker B: Bush.
[00:17:40] Speaker A: Oh, I. Here's the thing, Cody. I know you. I know who you are, and I know what you did here. I know that because you just recently saw t two. It's very impactful. You loved it a lot, and you want. And you knew if you put in h vac, you would have to deny yourself. You would have to potentially have to fight this. So you got Scooby Doo in just so you can be like, well, then it's obviously t two. I mean, it's like, what are we talking about here?
[00:18:05] Speaker B: Are you kidding me? This is a lot closer than you think.
[00:18:08] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:18:09] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:18:09] Speaker A: Is it, Cody?
[00:18:11] Speaker B: Here we go.
[00:18:11] Speaker A: Which Olympic race would you have compared this to? Because there's the Shikari Jackson finish, where she looks over and sees the person. So she clearly has enough space between her to do it. Or are we talking the hundred meter? The Noah Lyles finish. Everyone finished with the fastest time possible.
[00:18:28] Speaker B: No, I'm saying. Look at this.
[00:18:30] Speaker A: Okay?
[00:18:31] Speaker B: We got to protect John Connor. That's what we got to do. Right?
[00:18:34] Speaker A: Always have to protect me.
[00:18:34] Speaker B: And you are. Yes. If that. This is not a joke, guys. If you know John Connor, protect them. You don't know which one's important. But I'm saying, if you take. If you take the Scooby gang and replacement Terminator with the Scooby gang, they could protect John Connor, and it'd be a fucking laugh riot. 100 yuks a minute. Okay? It'd be the best. Like that. I would watch that movie. It is take. If you take the Scooby gang and replace them with the Terminator, he's not gonna solve the crime at the at the amusement park.
[00:19:05] Speaker A: And folks, this is gonna kill the guy. And folks, this is why. And we, and we, and this is kind of the whole point of the podcast, when you really think about it, is we've got to get rid of these copyright laws. We've got to change trademark laws in this country. We've got to change copyright laws because there's no reason, because the Scooby franchise has only partnered with everyone, the Harlem Globetrotters, WWE, multiple, multiple times. The other people, they've done a few, but can you imagine if they would just get t two in there if they got Terminator with and John Connor shows up into the future or the past or whatever, and, or they go to the past to find him. Whatever. How much fun. It's same movie, ostensibly, same movie. We have to keep this child away from the Terminator. But if you had the Scooby Doo gang doing it, the hijinks, we'd at least end up at like a nice old fair. And that's way more fun than like a metal shipyard, you know?
[00:20:02] Speaker B: Exactly. And then he's going to kick, Scooby Doo's going to kick the t 1000 into a ball pit and he's going to sink into it and he's going to look at the camera and go, hosta, rivista, bravery. It's going to be the best, dude. It's going to be so much fun.
[00:20:17] Speaker A: You don't want to take that away from us. So that's why, once again, you have to talk to your senators. This is, this is the thing that when honestly, and I, and I, and I'm willing to say it, who at whichever candidate, RFK junior Harris, Trump third, another crazier third party, whoever's like, hey, I'm going to probably do away with copyright. I'm going to give you five years with your copyright and then we're moving on. And then it's open market, free domain. That's who I'm voting. That's what I need.
[00:20:46] Speaker B: Because when I repl and you, you guys all laugh. How, how is everyone going to make any money? It's not about money. It's about the Scooby gang protecting John Connor.
[00:20:54] Speaker A: And that's, and by the way, once again, when the ideas are this good, the money follows.
[00:21:00] Speaker B: The money's going to come from somewhere.
[00:21:02] Speaker A: Don't worry about its creativity. Like, that's where it's going to come from. So I'm not worried about the money, folks.
Here's the thing. I love Scooby Doo.
[00:21:12] Speaker B: Yeah. Scooby Doo's amazing.
[00:21:14] Speaker A: Scooby Doo has been there for me. I will never forget this boat. I wore a Scooby Doo t shirt to second grade. That was how I wanted to introduce myself to the people in the second grade was with a large Scooby Doo t shirt. Okay, so, like, he's a part of who I am at my core.
[00:21:33] Speaker B: Foundational.
[00:21:34] Speaker A: Foundational. But, I mean, t two just kicks ass.
[00:21:38] Speaker B: T two does kick ass. The problem is, I've never watched Scooby Doo and said, that's badass.
[00:21:42] Speaker A: Yeah. And the problem is, like, we did watch Scooby. When we. When we did this research. We. We sat next to each other and we're like, oh, so that's what they were doing. Okay.
[00:21:51] Speaker B: Not. It doesn't hold up the way you think it does.
[00:21:53] Speaker A: It's not that it's bad. It's just that it's plain in a way that's, like, in the way that t two. Not that plain. Still badass most of the time.
[00:22:03] Speaker B: There's something about Scooby Doo that is so much better in your mind. The hijinks. Scooby gets up. Gets up to in my brain. The crimes he's solving, the games that he's playing with his boys. And the sandwich. These sandwiches he's eating.
[00:22:16] Speaker A: These sandwiches are ridiculous.
[00:22:17] Speaker B: Yeah, but, like, when you actually watch it, your brain has made Scooby Doo better than it was.
[00:22:22] Speaker A: Right? Is it that we. Is it. Is it, like, a, that we want a talking dog? And then, is it, b, that we just want the friendships? Like, what? Is it that we're looking at? Or is it that we're all just hot for Velma?
[00:22:32] Speaker B: Yes, it's. Yes.
[00:22:33] Speaker A: The Internet will tell. Will say, answer three. Based off of barely any search egg that you need to do. Do you have to be careful typing just Velma into a Google search?
[00:22:44] Speaker B: Yeah. Make sure safe search is on if you're going to type in Velma.
[00:22:47] Speaker A: Like, why? To be fair, very formative on a young boy. I mean, just. Just the cartoon. I'm not even talking dirty here. I'm saying I also was like. I mean, that's. She's pretty cute, right?
[00:22:58] Speaker B: Like, Nick, Nick, Nick. We were all forged in the fires of Velma. Okay. You're not a unique experience that you're talking about. We've all been there.
[00:23:07] Speaker A: We've all been so thank you. Thank you for that.
[00:23:10] Speaker B: This is where I'm at on this. Scooby Doo is so much better in my mind. Does that mean that Scooby Doo needs to win, because our bodies crave the do right. Our minds make Scooby Doo into this monolith. I. There's people who've never seen terminator two, right? Right. My God, have mercy on their souls. But even if you've never seen Scooby Doo, you know Scooby Doo, you feel Scooby Doo. You have Scooby Doo in you. And.
[00:23:35] Speaker A: And also, I want to be clear, too. You have a positive opinion?
[00:23:37] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:23:37] Speaker A: Like, I have yet to meet someone who, generally speaking, would say, meh, meh.
Like, none of those sounds will come from anyone's mouth describing Scooby Doo. T two, on the other hand, because it is. Cinema does get. Does have its own detractors. They're wrong.
[00:23:55] Speaker B: They're absolutely wrong. And idiot.
[00:23:57] Speaker A: There are some people out there who want to sit here and act like this isn't a modern masterpiece. Okay, so that's. I. Here's the thing, though, is if Scooby has it, I feel like that's a paper champion. I feel like, under the weight of scrutiny, Scooby would fold, whereas I can trust t two to go into these battles.
[00:24:16] Speaker B: Okay, here's the. This is where I want to push back on that. Okay? I don't think Scooby will fail because the collective Scooby Doo doesn't fail. Name one time Scooby's failed. He doesn't.
[00:24:25] Speaker A: Well, that's true. He succeeds.
[00:24:27] Speaker B: And he has the collective energy of entire generations. Not us. Not. We're millennials.
[00:24:33] Speaker A: We got.
[00:24:34] Speaker B: He's got the millennial backers. He's got Gen X. He's got the boomers. And now he's out here saving John Cena and shit. He's going to get the Zoomers too. Scooby Doo transcends age. We're never getting rid of Scooby Doo. The Terminator films are done. People are burnt out. We're over it.
[00:24:49] Speaker A: We're not. And they've only gotten worse. I. Okay, wait. Can we. I'm not saying that these are bad.
[00:24:55] Speaker B: Here's the thing. There's something timeless about a talking dog, Nick.
[00:24:58] Speaker A: There is. Here's something, though, that I do think people overlook, and I'm not. Once again, I want a hazard to say it's bad, but we have yet to crack a live action scooby doo movie. Like, we have not solved this riddle. I think a lot of people want to sit back and look at the. That late. That early two thousands with Freddie prins and.
Yeah, and I think we want to act like that was good. It wasn't. Freddie Prinze was a terrible for that, was it? I don't even know why we did that. One terrible decision.
[00:25:26] Speaker B: Nick. Nick. We got Linda Cardellini as Velma.
[00:25:29] Speaker A: This is the 30 year old woman. We have. We bad cast. The whole thing is poorly cast. Are you with the me? With the exception. Exception of shaggy. I will say I think the whole thing's poorly cast. I don't. Linda Cardellini is, like, 30 years old by that point. And I'm like, I'm not saying Linda Cardinalini isn't a. Isn't a wonderful actress, that she's not a beautiful woman, that all. But that's not my velma.
[00:25:56] Speaker B: Nick.
[00:25:56] Speaker A: They just got it wrong, man.
[00:25:58] Speaker B: Nick, they got it wrong. Nick. Nick. As a teenage boy, you gave me Sarah Michelle Giller and Linda Cardellini into very formative sexual icons for me. I. I'm gonna have to disagree with you, bruh. I'm gonna have to disagree with you, bro. Are you kidding me?
[00:26:15] Speaker A: I. You can. That's the beauty of America, I guess. I just think that you're solely mistaken. 2000. All right, hold on. So 22. She was 27 years old doing. That's not velma, dude. It's just not. I'm sorry. I know. Once again, this is what. This is why this show is great and beautiful. I didn't know that you held so tightly to these beliefs. I wanna preserve our friendship.
[00:26:41] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:26:41] Speaker A: So I'm gonna pick t two.
[00:26:42] Speaker B: You're doing a poor job.
I'm picking Scooby Doo for the fact that Scooby Doo is timeless. Everyone has a Scooby. Everybody has a Scooby. Whatever they think.
[00:26:51] Speaker A: That's fair. And I heard the new Scoob movie's great. I hear good things. Probably cause it wasn't live action. All right, folks, here we go. We. We are going back to that american voting coin of 2004 as brought to you by random.org. low seed gets a week. That is going to be me this time. I mean. I mean, if we're talking about alternate realities. I got to go. My John Kerry here, so we're going to flip. Yes.
[00:27:14] Speaker B: God damn, I love you. First of all, I love t two, so I'm not too upset about it. But Scooby Doo, man, you're sleeping on the do, man.
[00:27:22] Speaker A: I'm not sleeping on do. I'm just saying I. I. For what it is. Once again, this is. We're just talking movie here. Terminator two. Far better than any Scooby Doo movie. Easily. Easily. I mean, the character, you're right, is enduring, but I'm not. But Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator is also enduring. Hassle of Easter, baby. Probably not as in use. Still there. All be back. Still there. They ain't going nowhere.
[00:27:46] Speaker B: I mean, just. Yeah, no, the sayings are timeless. The movies fell apart. I just. I think we made a little mistake here, but I'm not upset about.
[00:27:54] Speaker A: I don't think so. I. I think you're lost in the lee, in the Linda cardellini sauce.
[00:27:59] Speaker B: Have you ever tried.
[00:27:59] Speaker A: Which, by the way, I would love to have Linda cardellini sauce. That sounds like something that you get at a very nice italian restaurant. They're like, oh, Jackson or cardellini sauce. I'd be like, oh, please put on some of that cardellini sauce.
[00:28:10] Speaker B: I'm just saying, if you would have talked shit about Linda Cardellini and Sarah Michelle Geller in front of a 16 year old Cody, he would have fought you. And that's all I'm trying to say.
[00:28:18] Speaker A: This is. And hey, thank God, because Nick had these opinions at that time. I will say 16 year old Nick was just as likely as 33 year old Nick, which is, once again, very 17 years of friendship, brother. I, you know, it's always.
I'm. It's always makes me happy. But nonetheless, that kid had those opinions. I'm glad we didn't step on that mine of friendship because we would. We wouldn't have even gotten started, brother. Not even.
[00:28:40] Speaker B: We wouldn't even got here.
[00:28:42] Speaker A: This whole thing would have never gotten off the ground. So I'm very happy to see that we. That we saved that one for 17 years. Down the road, folks. That is it. T two moving on as the group a champion. We still got groups B, C, and D to decide before we get to that final four. But thank you so much for listening to this episode of friendly competition.
