[00:00:17] Speaker A: Welcome to Friendly Competition, a podcast discover the best of all time. I'm Nick Carey, alongside my coast and best friend, Cody Lena, discuss various pop culture topics, inherit down, truly the best of all time. [00:00:28] Speaker B: Or as we like to call it, the Boat. Before anyone step foot on the boat, we put them into a sweet 16 style tournament. We argue each round till we decide a winner. Nick, what criteria do you use when we decide who steps foot on the boat? [00:00:38] Speaker A: Whatever the hell we want. Cody, you want some? What we're talking about this season? [00:00:41] Speaker B: Absolutely. We are diving into probably the most profound, deepest and beautiful genre of film. This is the stuff that gets your mind racing, your heart feeling, and guess what? Your dick hard because we're talking about action movies, baby. This hard ass fuck movies. Let's go. [00:00:59] Speaker A: Let's grow. Let's do this. Rom coms for men. [00:01:04] Speaker B: Rom coms for men. Actually, I like Romcoms. [00:01:09] Speaker A: I like a rom.com, too. In the same way I feel like women like action movies. Once again, a movie can be for everyone. [00:01:13] Speaker B: Yeah, movies are for but, you know. [00:01:16] Speaker A: I do feel like some skew a little bit more towards one than the, uh but here, folks, we have shout out to Jeremy for the suggestion. And then shout out to all you motorboaters out there. Tom, bailey. Davey, Catherine, Bailey, teresa. All of you out there. I know I'm forgetting some people, but shout out to all of you for taking the time to give us some names. We added our own. Then we sent to our brachatologist. They kicked it back. And here we are in Group B of Action Heroes. The only caveat I'll make are that these are mortals. No one here has any superpowers. Everyone here is just immortal with maybe some excellent training. And here we have in Group B, we have the four seed, John Wick going up against the 13 seed, Ellen Ripley from Aliens. And we have the five seed, Lee, which is Bruce Lee from Enter the Dragon. And we have the twelve seed, Dominic Toretto from the Fast and the Furious franchise. Cody. [00:02:13] Speaker B: Dominic Toretto's. Shit, dude. He doesn't belong in this. Because it'd be more apt if we put the charger, because that's the true hero of the film. Dominic what? He drives a car. Nick I'm sure he gets in a fight, but I can't remember a single time he's ever thrown fists. He's always driving a car. [00:02:31] Speaker A: Every chance. Every chance he gets, he throws fists in fast Five against the Rock. Proves goes toe to toe with the Rock, which now I'm realizing the Rock's not in here. This whole bracket might be null and void. But he goes toe to toe with him. Goes 50 50. [00:02:44] Speaker B: Okay. Well, yeah, because he's contractually obligated to go 50 50. [00:02:48] Speaker A: This is KFAB, okay? This is you take in the rules of the universe that are established, okay? So he takes on the Rock took on Jason Statham and beat Jason Statham, buried him under rubble. He says the iconic line, they're on the parking structure. He tells Jason, when you battle the streets, the streets win. And he stomps the ground, and it shakes in such a way. Now, granted, he'd already been hit by rockets, but he just knew the perfect spot to step on and caves in a whole building on his own. He definitely has, like, super stamina you have to give him. [00:03:26] Speaker B: Why does he do this? How did he know where to stop? [00:03:30] Speaker A: He was a good mechanic, cody he's. [00:03:38] Speaker B: Great at tuning cars. If there's one thing you know about tuning cars, it's the structural stability and soundness of large parking structures. [00:03:44] Speaker A: I will say of maybe almost any action hero we have here. Their past life does not present towards what they're doing now. There's no world where you can imagine. [00:03:55] Speaker B: He'S like, 14 years old, his dad. He's like, there's nothing in this world more important than family. Family is number one. But I'm going to teach you now about how cars work. We're going to teach you how to tune a car. As you can see here, there's six structurally important standards that hold up this parking garage if anything was to have to do with cars. [00:04:14] Speaker A: Here's some other things you're going to want to know. Most nuclear codes, there's two keys you're going to need at all times. Sometimes it's going to make it seem like there's only one. But no, there's always a second key. And that's your job, is to always have that second key. So when they think they got you, they never do. Okay? [00:04:30] Speaker B: I know now once you get the taking, it depends on the race you're doing. So when you're doing these NASCAR style races, turn left. You're going to want to change the air pressure a little low on the left side, so you get that lift from the right. And also there's a member of the global elite that lives in a flying castle that never lands, and she controls all of the Internet. It's. Like what? [00:04:51] Speaker A: Take it down one day. Dad ain't strong enough. But you son. [00:04:55] Speaker B: Am I missing something here? Okay, dude, I want a show that's just tiny toon adventures. But it's the cast. It's animated. It's the cast of Fast and the Furious. [00:05:08] Speaker A: Finally getting the back stories we need to justify. I need the Ludicrous one, because that's the one. Dom for the most part, his only job is to a lead the group, which, once again, how he knows all of his military tactics, that's one thing. But he generally is drive fast, hit stuff. That's his main thing that he needs to do. Ludicrous is the one who was also just a mechanic, who is like, oh, yeah, no, I took an online computer class, and now I know everything about computers and how to hack all computers that have ever existed. Just give me a keyboard, and I can hack anything. And you're like, Wait, what? [00:05:47] Speaker B: It's just the fucking the backstory for Ludacris's characters. It's two in the morning. He's smoking a blunt. He's watching TV. It's Adult Swim. He's watching Aquatine Hunger Force. A commercial comes on. It's that education connection. And he's like, I have to call this number. And he does, and Ludicrous is born. [00:06:07] Speaker A: He sees those ITT Tech commercials and just sees a father who's just I didn't I knew it was time to grow, know, and I had to start taking care of my family, so I went to ITT Tech and got myself an It Specialist degree. And he's like, you really make a lot of sense, my guy. [00:06:22] Speaker B: That being said, we got to lock in Lee. Dominic Toretto versus Bruce fucking Lee? Are you kidding? [00:06:30] Speaker A: Love? And you know I love Fast Furious more than just about anything, but from an action I mean, from the standpoint of action hero who survives everything, I do appreciate that element to it, where it's like, he is mortal, but he's just a little more mortal than know. He's just a little bit you could do this, too, Cody. That's what the Fast and Furious provides, is it is truly a world where you're like, man, if just given the chance to have a fast car and all the government secrets, I could probably do what's yeah. [00:07:01] Speaker B: The only thing stopping me is everything else government secrets. [00:07:06] Speaker A: But if you give me those, I'm probably Dominic Toretto right away. [00:07:10] Speaker B: Can you imagine? Just I'm not gonna leave. Can you imagine an animated series like A Pup named Scooby Doo, but it's just a fast and want it's all I want dude. There's money there. Especially if you can get the cast to voice it. [00:07:25] Speaker A: Doing their full adult voices for very obvious children. [00:07:29] Speaker B: That'd be so cool. [00:07:30] Speaker A: Do you want me to pitch it up at all and try to sound younger? No, that would be awful. Please don't do that. [00:07:36] Speaker B: Don't do that. No. So, in this episode, the teacher said no more chocolate milk, but she has locked the chocolate milk in the fridge underneath her desk. Dom and the gang are going to get that chocolate milk out of there, and they're going to bring it to the recess, and they're going to be heroes. All right, man. [00:07:54] Speaker A: There's money there. There's money on there. [00:07:56] Speaker B: I'm all in on this. [00:07:58] Speaker A: All right. I'm with you. Not in good conscience can I let most things go up against Bruce Lee, especially something like the Fast and Furious franchise, and let it move. Will I will also move on Lee into the next round where they will go up against either John Wick or Ellen Ripley from Aliens. Sorry, it always feels weird to call that. Feels like when you find out your teacher's first name and after you've graduated, and they're like, hey, no, just call me Lizzie. You know me as lizie. [00:08:30] Speaker B: I'm like, when I graduated, Miss Rose said I could call Joel, and I said, no, that's the last thing I'm going to call you. Doc. [00:08:38] Speaker A: Kevin? No, not a fucking chance. Bluester. Calling you fucking blues the rest of your life. There's no way we will never know each other like that. We just like it feels weird to call. No, it's Ripley. I'll just keep saying Ripley for everyone, so we all don't have to keep being bothered by me saying this character's full name, because no one needs to know it. Okay, so you're stuck on a spaceship. Happen, right? Bringing back samples. [00:09:03] Speaker B: Yeah, as Juan does, as what you're supposed to do. Someone's got to bring samples back. [00:09:07] Speaker A: That was the mission. Now all of a sudden, alien on ship. One of your best researchers gets one through the gut, was apparently harboring a baby alien. And now here we go. We got aliens on the ship. How are you going into leadership mode like Ripley or are you I feel like I'm just trying to hide it on the cargo bay. [00:09:29] Speaker B: I'm going into leadership mode, man. I've had stuff in my life happen recently where it taught me that I run to I run to the problem. [00:09:36] Speaker A: That's fair. That's very fair. [00:09:38] Speaker B: And also, I don't want to hide because the aliens hiding in the shadows, it's lurking, it's coming to the vents. If I hide in the shadows, that's where it's going to run into me by accident. Like oh, fuck. I was also hiding in the shadows. [00:09:49] Speaker A: Do you think if you just accidentally bumped into the alien, you could just be like, whoa, my guy. Hey, let me open this door for you here. That's going to be a lot easier for you. And maybe we're just cool. Maybe we're okay. [00:10:01] Speaker B: My problem with Ripley is I do love the alien movie, but is she an action hero? I mean, she fights and stalls, but that's not her go to. She's just trying to escape. John Wick is out, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. Russian mafia scared. He's got the government scared. And everybody knows where to find him at this hotel, but they can't find him because the rules it's against the rules. [00:10:21] Speaker A: It's against the rules. It's against the rules. The thing is, with very it's we we had talked about Kill Bill in the last episode to go listen to that. It's very Kill Bill, but with guns and much lower stakes. Like, you killed his dog. Now, Grant was the dog given by his wife who died of cancer. Yes. And so it's very sad when you but like, the bride was murdered. [00:10:41] Speaker B: He stole his car. [00:10:42] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, that was another bad thing. So you put dead dog, stolen car, same level as murdered on your wedding day while pregnant, and they killed the kid. [00:10:54] Speaker B: Hey, we're comparing it to alien right now. So the thing I like about John Wick, though, that kill. Bill has this, too, but is when anytime someone's like, oh, who's coming to kill your ass? And they're like, oh, yeah, I pissed up John Wick. No one wants to help him. They're like, not you on your own decision. You made it's so bad that even the dad, when he hears it, it's like, oh, I'll shoot my own son if it gets John Wick out of. [00:11:18] Speaker A: Yeah, he's not worth the life. This kid's an idiot. Here's the thing that I want more than anything. I want a past life that I had to dig a concrete. I had to dig a hole in the foundation of my home, hide all of my past life in a box, and then cement over my floor so no one would ever know. But when the day comes, I grab my big old Sledgehammer and I'm back in the game. That's that, to me, is like, my favorite part of John Wick forever and ever. Just watching him have to just be like, he called me in Sledgehammer. I think the only thing I'd have in my thing, though, is, like, my denim vest. [00:11:59] Speaker B: The black book. What's the black book? We don't talk about think. Okay. Ellen Ripley's a badass bitch. She fights off the Xenomorph. She's the flamethrower giant robot suit. She's the only survivor on the ship. I love all of that for her. But John Wick has movies and movies and movies where he just mows through the toughest of men and women. No one is immune to his guns, right? [00:12:21] Speaker A: But Ripley fights off aliens that now, don't get me wrong, I haven't seen the newest Alien movies, like, whatever, the kind of side movie that's, like, about Alien. But it's not. Or like, it is, but anyway, prometheus aren't the Xenomorphs gods? [00:12:38] Speaker B: Aren't they're not gods? There's, like, an alien race that is, like, going it's almost perfect. So they're going to take over the universe. [00:12:45] Speaker A: That's kind of right from Jump Street Fought. I guess what you could say is maybe the highest. Like the angels. The angels of death. She took on the angels of death. It doesn't even break a sweat. [00:12:59] Speaker B: She broke a sweat. [00:13:00] Speaker A: She's sweaty. [00:13:01] Speaker B: She's pretty sweaty. [00:13:03] Speaker A: She's a little sweaty. [00:13:04] Speaker B: It's great. But as far as, like, action movie, when I think action movie, do I think Alien? No, they never come up. Those are horror movies. Those are thrillers. But she's not an action hero. Right, and that's the bracket. Yeah. Or does she save the world? Or does she bring the alien to us? Is she the problem? [00:13:24] Speaker A: Oh, I guess there's always I mean. [00:13:26] Speaker B: Capitalism is a problem because they were. [00:13:29] Speaker A: We would take the Xenomorphs now if we had to. If we could just send those down and just have them fix some shit. There's just something she's just a badass don't get me wrong. I love the John Wick franchise, but he says nothing. I think, like they said in john Wick Four, he says a total of 300 words. Oh, nice. He is not a man of many words, so you don't really once again, all we know is that he's just the perfect killing machine. For some reason, we don't have a fully real ripley is a captain of a ship. She had to work hard. I still imagine that sexism exists even in the space future. So I'm sure it was a tough road to get know, but there she was taking down aliens on her ship. [00:14:20] Speaker B: I mean, I respect what you're saying. I need to lock in John Wick. I love the Alien movies, and I love Ripley, but it's got to be John Wick. I'm talking action heroes. [00:14:29] Speaker A: But I just think at the end of the day, like, I think the righteousness of his cause is never that high. In the first movie, it's to kill the dog or like to get back. And he does that completely. Does that now. Does he piss off a few people that then want to hunt him? Sure. And that creates then that gives you the later movies. But really, even in John Wick Four, he really is just like, hey, man, I kind of just want to get out the game. I really didn't mean to do this. I don't really want to be here. And it's just always trying to find he constantly is asking, hey, can I speak to the manager real quick? [00:15:01] Speaker B: Can I please just get out of here? [00:15:03] Speaker A: Can I just talk to the manager and just explain my situation? And then maybe they'll get it. And then I can just move on with my life. And they're just like, well, the manager lives in a desert, which you have to walk for days and you'll probably die during the journey. He's like, yeah, man, that's worth it. I just really want to get out. Fine. [00:15:19] Speaker B: I got nothing else going on. [00:15:20] Speaker A: Yeah, he could just go back and just call it, but he's like, nah, I got to get out of this. So I think I'm going to go Ripley here. So we'll settle this the only way we know how. The American voting coin of 2004 is brought to you by random.org. We got John Carrey facing up, which means George Bush is on the other side. Low C does get to pick. That's going to be me with Ripley. I think I'm going to go with John Carrey. I think he'd be the best in an alien situation. George Bush. All right, I lost John Wick. That's Wick. That's the wick man. [00:15:54] Speaker B: Wick versus Lee. [00:15:56] Speaker A: All right, we kind of skip past the story of Lee. So for those of you that aren't aware in the movie Enter the Dragon, it's Bruce Lee. It's famously one of Bruce Lee's best films. He is a detective who's trying to end an opium drug lord, finds out that it's a monk that he had worked under. And now that monk is on an island and conveniently at that time hosting. [00:16:22] Speaker B: A tournament, of course, as opium lords tend to do. [00:16:25] Speaker A: Wouldn't you, though? Being a drug lord has to be maybe one of the top five professions that you can have for sure. I mean, for long term stability. It's going to be tough, right? People are not going to but you got so many waves of people in front of you that for people to get through, it's tough to get to. [00:16:42] Speaker B: You right, I agree. Drug lords should have more tournaments. [00:16:46] Speaker A: Yeah. Because what else do you have to do with your time? You mostly have to be in hiding, right. You can't be out there too much on the streets. You can't be one with the people. You're running the empire. So what are you going to have fun with? What, are you going to play Grand Theft Auto all day? No. [00:17:02] Speaker B: Maybe they do have tournaments and we don't know about it. Maybe when you see those UFC cards and you're like, who the fuck is Neil Piclumpsy wrestling or fighting Smith Jenkins? Why don't they have any of the big name fighters? Big name fighters are in a fucking cave in Moscow right now. [00:17:18] Speaker A: Right now? [00:17:19] Speaker B: Right now. [00:17:20] Speaker A: It's like all I would mean I don't know if it always has to be till the death. Maybe I would have, like, a funniest person competition. [00:17:28] Speaker B: Your teenage son comes with a blood sealed envelope and he's been invited to the amazing actual Death on the Line Fortnite Tournament. What? The winner gets a billion dollars, but everyone else dies? [00:17:39] Speaker A: But everyone else dies. Yeah, I guess you always do have to kill the people at the end of it. [00:17:44] Speaker B: Kill them, though, because that's the ultimate game. [00:17:47] Speaker A: Right? Because then how else can I guarantee your best performance? [00:17:50] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. How do I know that you're not going to instilock someone who's not your main character on Smash Brothers if you. [00:17:57] Speaker A: Don'T know Death's on the Right? Yeah. Like, I don't have time for you just like play around and be like, you know what, I usually play DK, but this time I'm going to play his. No, not here, bro. We don't got time. Dude. I want to see the best that you have to offer. If we're putting it online, I want to hear your best jokes. What if we put jugglers juggling competition to the death? Imagine what you would see. They'd go all, why wouldn't you juggle knives? What's the worst that's going to happen? One falls and kills you. Guess what? If you don't catch it, you're dead anyway. Yeah. [00:18:31] Speaker B: Live grenades. Yeah, all these live grenades are cooked, so you have to juggle small and tight circles because you want to grab a pin as fast as you can to keep the timer not running. [00:18:41] Speaker A: That's the game. [00:18:42] Speaker B: So everyone gets three grenades, pins pulled. You have to juggle. First one to drop is going to lose. So that explodes. So you're just juggling as fast and tight as you can. It's like Russian Roulette, except fucking lit dog. [00:18:53] Speaker A: How sick, how much fun. Once again, why being a drug lord to be sick? Who's going to tell you? [00:18:58] Speaker B: No? [00:18:58] Speaker A: No one. I miss it. So there you are, just a detective, just being like, man, heard rumor that that drug lord's over here, I'm going to go there. Can you imagine how bummed out you'd be, though, to find out there is a tournament that you're like, have I seen a dragon or have I just seen a lot of clips? [00:19:17] Speaker B: Anyway, the thing I'm having is John Wick truly a hero? Because if we look at it this way, he's out trying to get revenge. Kind of like the bride, but he's killing drug dealers and all that stuff. But how many fathers are not coming home because of John Wick? How many kids will grow up without a dad? [00:19:32] Speaker A: Body count is high. I've asked myself this question. The moral conundrum of like I mean, they chose to be know they knew that they were going to be goons in a what is okay, better question for you, Cody. What's the pay got to be for you? What does the annual pay have to be for you to be a goon in the mafia? Because 150K, right? I was kind of around that number because it's like, man, I'm going to need something. Because I'm assuming, I know I'm first up. If I got to protect you, I'm first up. So, I mean, for sure I'm strapped up. [00:20:13] Speaker B: I keep that thing on me for sure. [00:20:15] Speaker A: I got to at least make sure that my 401K funds or my Roth IRAs are packed for my family because I ain't guaranteed a long time, but as long as I can put some money away from them, maybe then I can help. [00:20:29] Speaker B: Vision? [00:20:30] Speaker A: I got any vision? [00:20:30] Speaker B: Dental? Medical? [00:20:33] Speaker A: No. Fully paid medical. By the way, I better not see a hospital bill ever. You're covering the full cost. [00:20:41] Speaker B: Whatever happens, I do respect from Bruce Lee's movies, though, that it's one on one. It's pure action. Hands, feet. It's art. His action movies are more art than any other action movie. [00:20:54] Speaker A: Right? I will say John Wick certainly wants to follow in that style, right? Where you're making the violence. Something that's actually beautiful. Something that you're like, wow. Inspired by I will say it is. Okay. What is a skill, Cody? So let's say you're in this Lee situation, right? You're just going to go try to break down a crime. What skill would you feel confident to enter to the Death tournament? Jesus Christ. That you're like, it's the only way you'll get to the guy probably killed your family. [00:21:23] Speaker B: Do I know it's the best people in the world, or is it just like Normies? Because if it's the best people in the world, I don't think there's anything I can hang. [00:21:29] Speaker A: I mean do you mean in enter the Dragon? Are they the best? [00:21:32] Speaker B: They're the best fighters. Yeah. So I make some pretty good jokes, I guess. Joke time. Joke time with Cody, baby. [00:21:40] Speaker A: And then Bill Burr shows up. John Mulaney. [00:21:46] Speaker B: All right. Tummy aches. I can hang with the best of them. I get tummy aches all the time. I know how to do it. I have a Bath belly and it hurts right now. And I'm here. I'm toughing it up. I'm a big, strong boy. Honestly, though, that might be the only thing I'm world class in is tummy aches. [00:22:03] Speaker A: I think mine would be the ability to talk about nothing forever. [00:22:06] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, you're great. [00:22:07] Speaker A: Talking that I could just not shut up. The ability to not shut up. Whereas some, I feel like, would eventually bore themselves. I enjoy hearing myself talk. I can go on rants for days in my head. When I'm doing a rant, there are times where my own brain's like, great point, Nick. You're crushing this. Look at you. You look amazing right now. You're nailing great. [00:22:27] Speaker B: That's a great point, Nick. I'm so proud of you. [00:22:30] Speaker A: To myself. You're so brave, man. All your points are so accurate, too, and they're really well thought out. You can tell you're not just making this up on the fly. And even though you are, sounds like you're not. And that's the most important. [00:22:43] Speaker B: A lot of people made Bruce Lee their personality. I don't see that with John Wick. Is that a pro or a con? [00:22:49] Speaker A: I mean, I feel like John Wick is getting up to that status. I feel like John Wick is up there as far as when you want to talk to people about action movies now, because I feel like there's a general some people want to say the best action movies were made in the right, but now we have this renaissance with your Takens and your John Wicks of another era of great action movies. But some people don't like to say that. And now there's a lot of people, I feel like, on the Internet who will cape for John Wick in that way. Bruce Lee, at least is, aspirational from this standpoint, a Bruce Lee is real. And also, when you look at Bruce Lee's workouts, you're like, oh, you were the you really you really were about this life. [00:23:30] Speaker B: Whereas there's no faking it with the Bruce Lee. I feel like everything he's doing is real. And also, from the stories I've heard, everything he's doing is actually not as fast as he could do it because the cameras couldn't pick it up. So he's actually making himself worse to do these amazing actually, yeah. [00:23:47] Speaker A: The real life Bruce Lee is way better than his characters, is a better martial artist than the characters he has to play. His characters have to be slower, whereas the opposite is for John Wick. Right. Keanu Reeves is not John Wick. At. [00:24:06] Speaker B: John I've seen his workouts, too. He's very impressive, man. But it's not no, no, no. [00:24:10] Speaker A: And I don't think he wants he's like, I don't want to be like I just it's fun. I mean, if you told me as an actor, hey, do you want to get some cool combat training and do some dope gun training and work? I'd be like, yeah, that's pretty sick. That sounds like a fun time. Yeah, let's have some fun with it. [00:24:26] Speaker B: I'm going to be honest with you. I'm leaning John Wick just because it's more the style of action movie that. [00:24:34] Speaker A: Do you I guess the question is, do I consider him to be heroic when it's all said and done? [00:24:39] Speaker B: That's also a good question. [00:24:40] Speaker A: I think that's what I'm having trouble with. Lee is entering a tournament to go. [00:24:44] Speaker B: Find to increase drug prices. Well, yeah. Say what it is. He's trying to increase drug prices. [00:24:49] Speaker A: Dang it. Yeah. Because at the end of day, the the cops are the best drug dealers, you know? [00:24:53] Speaker B: Yeah, dude. [00:24:53] Speaker A: We're putting it back out on the street at a higher markup. But that's the thing is, like, with John Wick, his cause is initially noble, but it is just so off the rails at this point as far as just not really. I'm like, I don't think what you're doing is that heroic. Like you said, a lot of fathers not coming home. [00:25:09] Speaker B: I don't know if I can true. At one point, he does shoot a rocket launcher into a church. Now there's a lot of people in there that are there's going to be some strays? [00:25:20] Speaker A: No. [00:25:21] Speaker B: In the first movie, he blows up that church because that's where the Russians are keeping their money. [00:25:24] Speaker A: Well, yeah, but there's no body. There's no strays in there. No. John Wick never has heard a single fly. [00:25:29] Speaker B: There's not one altar boy in there know, doing extracurriculars because they're Catholic. [00:25:34] Speaker A: Nope. Think about when he's in the nope. Because he cares. Because when he's in the club scene and he's killing body, he puts the gun up their body so that way the bullet stops within them, which is not how that works. Could you imagine you're just on the dance floor of a get. You catch like a stray off the shoulder. That's like from fuck God. I was trying to dance this dope techno beat. I can't even see where it's coming from. [00:25:59] Speaker B: I learned how to crump yesterday for this. [00:26:02] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. [00:26:04] Speaker B: All right. What are you doing? [00:26:06] Speaker A: I think I'm going with Lee here. It feels like I'm like, for some reason, anti John Wick when I'm like that person. The day the movies come out, I go see love. [00:26:14] Speaker B: You do love him. [00:26:15] Speaker A: Love me some John Wick. I'm having trouble saying what he does is cool. I don't think it rises to being a is he the example? I don't think he cares about cleaning up the streets. I don't think he wants to kill. Most of these people, it's like, d more is like, oh, God, more people are coming to kill. He's like, I guess I have to. But he does not at any point espouse any views about he's not even that mad about the whole kind of underground organization that kind of he just wants out. He just wants to go back and live a life. He's like, Man, I wonder if you ask if you maybe start over. Was it really worth all this? [00:26:52] Speaker B: All this way? I think I'm going to luck and leave. [00:26:56] Speaker A: I appreciate that. [00:26:58] Speaker B: Excellent point, Nick. [00:27:00] Speaker A: Really? Me? You think so? Wow, that's never would have guessed me just with excellent points. Come on now. I'm not some great orator or know, all right? [00:27:12] Speaker B: He literally talked me into submission. He just didn't shut up long enough that I was like, fine. [00:27:15] Speaker A: Lee and I got shit to do this week, so let's just try to wrap this one up. All right, folks? We're going to move Lee into the final four. We'll do our research on that, watch some good old Enter the Dragon can't wait. But otherwise, once again, thank you to everyone who gave us suggestions.
