[00:00:18] 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. It's because various pop culture topics and narrow it down to truly the best of all time. [00:00:30] Speaker B: Or as we like to call it, the boat. Before he gets a foot on the boat, we 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 to steps foot on the boat? [00:00:39] Speaker A: Whatever the hell we want. Cody, you want to tell them what we're talking about this season? [00:00:42] Speaker B: No, I want to talk about this. I looked up Fox from Wanted just to get a little info from her. The wanted Wiki God, Wiki fandoms. You guys are out here even for. [00:00:51] Speaker A: The wanted has a Wiki fandom. Oh. Because it wasn't not an anime, but I think it was a graphic novel. [00:00:59] Speaker B: Right, Fox, this is Angelina Jolie's character in the movie Occupation, Femme Fatale. How do I get this job? Obviously I can't just want to be. [00:01:11] Speaker A: Known as a, what's your job? [00:01:13] Speaker B: I'm a female. Like what do you put on your business card? [00:01:16] Speaker A: Right? [00:01:16] Speaker B: Awesome. [00:01:17] Speaker A: That's straight up what they like to be called a femme fatale. Like what that says about you is like, is that, okay, I'm going to say something very dumb and maybe rude. Don't be the president. Become a femme fatal. [00:01:32] Speaker B: No, exactly. I think that's why we need to. [00:01:34] Speaker A: Be raising our daughter. Because that's a woman who you're like, yeah, you don't fuck with that. [00:01:38] Speaker B: What does she do? [00:01:38] Speaker A: She's a femme fatale. [00:01:39] Speaker B: All the parents are standing around, right? They're like, so what's your kid up to? It's like, oh, yeah, Timmy's doing great. He just graduated top of his class. He's actually going to med school. Yeah. Oh, good for you. My son just passed the bar. He's doing really good at the law place. Oh, yeah. My daughter is also a surgeon. She just got her finished her residency. Awesome. What about you? Oh, my daughter. Femme fatal. [00:02:00] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:02:02] Speaker B: Every parent loses, right? [00:02:05] Speaker A: What schooling did you get? We tried so hard to raise our kids well, but yours turned out to. [00:02:10] Speaker B: Be a femme fatality. [00:02:11] Speaker A: You're like, I kNow. Sometimes the apple, not only does it fall far from the tree, it rolls down that fucking hill. [00:02:18] Speaker B: It also learns how to use a sword. [00:02:21] Speaker A: Because I'll make fun of almost any industry. There's not a lot of things I maybe have respect for. Ben Fatal. I'm not going to say a single bad thing about it. You want to become the president. I make fun of president. I'll make fun of both presidents. I don't care. [00:02:34] Speaker B: I don't give a shit. Fuck your president, dude. I want to talk about Fox's Wikipedia page. Shut up, Nick. So, status. Her status is deceased. Causing death, shot in the head, killed by herself. What? [00:02:51] Speaker A: I mean, when you say it like that, it doesn't do the full gravity of what she did. Right. Because if you just read it, if. [00:03:00] Speaker B: You just look at it, it looks like, oh, she shot herself in the head. Well, kind of, yeah, I guess she did do the forbidden move and kill everyone else with one bullet. [00:03:11] Speaker A: In a roundabout way, almost very literally, she shot herself in the head for you. [00:03:17] Speaker B: Those of you not getting the joke, she does the forbidden move, which makes a bullet spin and go in an arc, and she kills, I don't know, ten people with one bullet. And then it gets back to her. It was the only way. [00:03:28] Speaker A: In a circle room. She's in a perfectly circle room and just curves that bullet. [00:03:34] Speaker B: As you know, when you're in a perfectly circular room with a bunch of other people that want to fight to death, you stand in a perfect circle. [00:03:40] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:40] Speaker B: Because there's. And there's a bunch of. Also this room has a bunch of furniture, has a bunch of stuff. But that's not in the way of stopping you from standing in a perfect circle. [00:03:48] Speaker A: Not at all. No, not at all. And don't hide behind the furniture. Don't use that to your advantage. In this scenario. Everyone stand perfectly around the perimeter of the room. And let's just chat this out a little bit. Yes, folks, we are here talking about action movies and all the great, very realistic situations they put us in. And we're talking about those heroes who save the day. Here we are in Group C, so go back and listen to group a And Group B. If you want to hear who their champions are, shout out to Jeremy for the suggestion. Shout out to you motorboaters for giving us your ideas here. And we have in the two seed Fox from wanted going up against the 15 seed Jason Bourne. And then we have the seven seed Rambo going up against the ten Seed Ethan Hunt from Mission Impossible. Do you want to just stick with Fox here, Cody, and talk about why does she have to kill all those people? [00:04:40] Speaker B: No, I mean, it's her business. She's a fatal, like, what the fuck kind of question is that? [00:04:45] Speaker A: Well, to be fair, she does kill herself, too, because she's a part of. And this is the part that we've talked about this. How do you become an assassin? And wouldn't it be great if a. If it wasn't just kind of, like, grimy and just like, work for the mob and just kill people? But what if you were an assassin for a secret order known as the Fraternity? And what they do is they have people who can see the future or something like that. Or mostly, I think it's just controlled by the government, and they just pull a name, and when that name get pulled, that person's got to die. And a lot of time, these are big political figures. They take credit for JFKs because of their magic bullet. Everyone's like, oh, the Magic bullet. Ha ha. I feel like this whole movie is based off of the phrase magic bullet from the JFK. [00:05:32] Speaker B: Okay, so you're telling me this is a very unique plot. So you're telling me that there's a secret government institution embedded within the government that creates super assassins that assassinate key political figures, but no one's supposed to know about it? There's no way there's two movies that have that same plot. Jason Bourne. [00:05:51] Speaker A: Yeah. I think technically the fraternity predates most world governments. I think they were out here like. [00:05:56] Speaker B: The Illuminati, except of like, blast. [00:05:59] Speaker A: I think that's kind of what it assume. They're like the knights of the Illuminati, essentially, but then they all learn at some point that their own names get pulled and then they have to kill each other because they get too powerful and too scary, and they're like, oh, well, I don't want to. Some of them like, well, I don't want to kill my friends. Friendship's the most important thing we have. [00:06:16] Speaker B: No, you got to kill them. You got to kill everyone. Nothing is more important than a magic bullet. Yeah. [00:06:20] Speaker A: And learning how to do said magic bullet. Whereas Jason Bourne, on the other hand, here, you're is. But this is straight up government. I think it's like CIA, I think is what he is. [00:06:31] Speaker B: He was. But then they took him and trained him to be the ultimate killer. I do like the first Jason Bourne movie. I thought it was fun. I like the scene where he's like, how do I know everyone's dominant hand in this bar? And why have I memorized every license plate? I don't know what's going on. Yeah. [00:06:46] Speaker A: Why is it. It's one of those things where it feels like it's one of those stories where if you were really good at trivia or something, right, and you just crush trivia. Why do I have all this knowledge. And it's like, oh, because the government trained you for well over a decade. [00:07:00] Speaker B: To be a trivia man and then. [00:07:01] Speaker A: Bonked you on the head. That's the part I love, is that it's like once the call goes out, once the secret sound, once whatever it is is triggered, now you're a death machine. So you're just sitting there at your local pub playing trivia, just killing it, crushing it again. How do I just know and see all this stuff and I just lock it in forever? Oh, it's because I was a murderer. I'm the perfect murder machine dog. That's a way better story than Harry Potter, than being like, oh, I was a wizard the whole time. No murder machine, dude. That's what I want. [00:07:39] Speaker B: I think the problem with Jason Bourne is he's not a hero because he's trying to get out of it. The whole time he's just mad. He's just pissed off and he's going against things that he should be stopping. Isn't there, in the second one, the bad guys, he's like, fuck him. I want to get the government instead. Like, this guy is a wild, is a loose cannon, but we can count on Fox. We can Count on Angelina Jolie. [00:08:00] Speaker A: Well, because she basically does what, to your point, they are very similar in that, like, she does what he wants to do, which is take down their governing body, right? That's why she killed, when she kills all those people, those are all assassins in the fraternity, right? So she effectively tries to end the fraternity, but, oh, wait, there's wanted to. So I guess she maybe just killed a bunch of middle managers. It feels like she killed herself, right? So now it's like, oh, maybe our one great assassin, the one who's the best of them all, Fox has now also killed herself. So now we're stuck with just James McEvoy. I mean, sure, he learned the bullet curving secret, but at the same time, he ain't Angelina Jolie about it. [00:08:48] Speaker B: No one's Angelina Jolie about it. That's the problem. The issue. Jason Bourne isn't as cool as all I can say. Fox is cool. She'd be more cool. [00:08:58] Speaker A: I know, but I mean, she killed out the game. I don't know what to. She's out the game. [00:09:03] Speaker B: Is that the ultimate sacrifice, though? She's the ultimate hero. The only way to end this fraternity, this is a fraternal order of people who are out there making bad guys go blap was to use the forbidden move. [00:09:18] Speaker A: Oh, I was about to say, but they sometimes kill good people, too, because the name came up. The name came up. I got to go kill them. That's the rules. So she also did a lot of bad. This is someone who it feels like is like that action hero who is trying to make up for lost time because they really done did bad for a while. Whereas Jason Bourne, once again, he's just. Because what does he do before? I try to remember. Before he gets activated. He's like an accountant, right? [00:09:46] Speaker B: He's doing vibing. [00:09:48] Speaker A: Yeah, he's just a dude. Just like some dude. And then all of a sudden, fucking call hits, and now he's out here murdering people in that restaurant, just being like, wait, what? [00:09:57] Speaker B: The thing about Fox. Yeah, she did a lot of bad things and she killed a lot of people. But murder is her art. Right? You got to let an artist paint. You got to let a painter paint. No one's out here stopping DJ Khaled from making music. [00:10:10] Speaker A: Right? [00:10:10] Speaker B: So we can't let Fox out here do her magic bullet paintings with people's blood. [00:10:15] Speaker A: I mean, I guess, but once again, I would feel like her sacrifice would mean something if they didn't go ahead and make wanted to. [00:10:23] Speaker B: Yeah. First of all, I wasn't aware of wanted to, so that's totally. [00:10:27] Speaker A: I recently learned of wanted to. And now that I know it exists, it's just very hard for me to be like, you know what? Now I'm like, I thought she did die a hero, but come to find out, nah, man, these ancient societies, man, they keep rolling. [00:10:41] Speaker B: They go deep. Yeah. You think this is the first time an ancient society is all of its murders, members murdered with a magic bullet? The Illuminati is on, like, the 10th iteration of the Illuminati. [00:10:50] Speaker A: Right. I mean, I'd have to imagine that a lot of times it just dissolves into. And then whoever is left standing gets started over in their image. So I would imagine that this. I would imagine that's how wanted to happen. They just open the book, like, all right, contingency plan. One of our assassins develops a moral compass. What do we do? Did they shoot everyone with the magic bullet? Yeah. Damn it. It's like the worst case scenario, right? Flip to the back page, then. [00:11:14] Speaker B: Yep. All right, sweet. Oh, this is handwritten, but they do have a contingency. I think I'm walking in Fox because Jason Bourne is not. The lack of self control and decision making makes it so I don't think of him as a hero. He's like a meat puppet. [00:11:28] Speaker A: But, see, once he gets, like, once he gains know, finds himself and he's able to now fight for what's right. I got to go with Jason, man. I'm a bigger fan of Jason here. I just think, obviously, Angelina Jolie is pretty cool. And by definition, I think if you describe anyone as, like, a femme photographic. Oh, you talk about Angelina Jolie? Yeah, because she got them like, that crazy eyes that are like, oh, I'll kill people. Yeah, I don't doubt. [00:11:57] Speaker B: I just. [00:11:58] Speaker A: I like the fantasy. I want to be, want to be. I want to believe that. It's like, oh, why don't you remember college that well, not because I was blackout drunk, but because the military was training me. [00:12:12] Speaker B: Exactly. I was becoming an ultimate killing machine. [00:12:15] Speaker A: That's all I want. And just to finally. And the alarm goes off, and now I'm just ready to fight, dude. I'm ready. [00:12:22] Speaker B: I'm just going to start calling you randomly and just saying weird sentences that shouldn't exist to see if I can activate you. [00:12:28] Speaker A: It's all I want. It's all I want. Please do. [00:12:29] Speaker B: Okay. [00:12:30] Speaker A: I would love to find out. To get activated. Watch. I'm like the tech guy, though. All it is. I just know. [00:12:36] Speaker B: Turning to Ludacris from Fast and Furious. [00:12:38] Speaker A: Exactly. They're like, all right, you're activated. All right. I'm like, sick. Let's go be up the bad guys. Oh, no, you're on tech team. You just actually are, like, a high level hacker. That's what we trained you to do. I'm like, oh, man, that's not fun. [00:12:52] Speaker B: You're only trained to high level refill gas tanks in transit. So they keep jumping from cars to cars and filling their tanks. Look at that guy. [00:13:01] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm like, literally like an F one crew member. That's all I do. They're like, yeah, man, you're crushing it. You guys didn't give me any gun skills. I didn't seem important. Didn't really want to spend the time or the effort in class. All right, well, we will settle this the only way we know how with the American voting coin of 2004, is brought to you by random.org. We got George Bush facing up, which means John Kerry is on the other side. Low seed gets the pick. That's going to be me on this one. I got to go with John Kerry because I feel like Bush would have got got is all I'm saying. [00:13:36] Speaker B: Yeah, I think he. We don't. [00:13:38] Speaker A: Maybe. Maybe. Yeah, maybe they replaced him. All right, we'll flip John Kerry. All right, Jason Bourne. Moving on. All right, next up, we got two. [00:13:48] Speaker B: Legends of the game here. Absolute Legends of the game. We got Ethan Hunt from Mission Impossible. Tom Cruise going up against the man himself. Rambo. [00:13:58] Speaker A: Yeah. How do you want to be a. Like, does that. As far as a career action? Because that's the type of action hero he mean. Like, sure, we're doing some shootouts and stuff, but we're mostly talking about espionage, right? We're not trying to get in a big mess like Rambo is, right? We're not going to solve this with our muscles. We're going to solve it with our minds. [00:14:20] Speaker B: First of all, if you need anyone to solve something with their minds, I'm not going to pick a Scientologist, so that's a problem. Leaving that out of it. Tom Cruise, I like the spy aspect. He does a different take than James Bond, which I enjoy. He's more techie and more in there. But Rambo, we have a term called going Rambo. Like, it's Rambo. He takes down all of Vietnam and. [00:14:41] Speaker A: Builds it in his own image. [00:14:42] Speaker B: I feel like that's. [00:14:43] Speaker A: They really need to show that he does kind of view himself as a god there, as a God king whenever he's in Vietnam. And is. I will. I will make this right. You will do this in my image? [00:14:54] Speaker B: Dude. [00:14:55] Speaker A: I think what's very funny about the first Rambo is he kills three people in that whole movie. It's about a meditation on post traumatic stress disorder and the lengths that people will go to fight it. [00:15:06] Speaker B: Well, I'm glad you brought that up because his total kill over the lifetime of Rambo movies on screen is 263 on screen kills. He is out here for blood. If there's one thing I need my heroes to do, it's kill indiscriminately. [00:15:23] Speaker A: Collateral damage is not in this. He is like, I do not care. Here's what I'll say, though. Use the bow and arrow. Big bow and Arrow guy. And I like that. I like using an unorthodox weapon, right? Let's have some fun with it. Okay? Let's get out there, get creative with it. Because also, if you get got with a bow and arrow, you know, there's enough time. Like, you're not going to die instantly, unless maybe it's through your brain, but even then, maybe not. And there's just enough time for you to be like a fucking bow and arrow. [00:15:50] Speaker B: What year is it? Are you kidding me? [00:15:54] Speaker A: So much confusion as life slowly fades out. Because if it went right through your neck, you're going to have time to be like, are you serious right now? That also means they're a lot closer than you think. So now you kind of feel dumb about it as far as someone got murdered. Just like, oh, man, if he's close enough to hit me with an arrow, I should have seen him. I should have been way more on top. [00:16:14] Speaker B: People paid it up. And a body that ripped just. It's so big and strong that when you see it, your mind doesn't think that's a human. It thinks, oh, that must be just a big tree. [00:16:22] Speaker A: Yeah. Must be seeing something, because there's no way humans are this large. [00:16:27] Speaker B: I like that Ethan Hunt is saving the world. I don't remember any of the Mission Impossible plots, but he's always breaking in and getting the codes to deactivate missiles that are going to destroy stuff. Like, he's doing big things. [00:16:37] Speaker A: Big things. [00:16:38] Speaker B: Rambo, it seems like he just really hates the Vietnamese. I don't know what he's trying to do. [00:16:43] Speaker A: I know it's not racist. And I know he's going there to probably once, probably stop drugs. Usually we just use the east as like, you know how much fucking drugs come out of the, like. Yeah. All of them, apparently. Never from anywhere else. We definitely aren't making them in our own backyards. [00:16:58] Speaker B: Rambo doesn't. He just seems like he's. I don't think he has a mission. I think it's just like a kill count thing. [00:17:03] Speaker A: I really wish he would kill more white just to feel a little bit better about it, as far as a hero goes. But I will say so Rambo Four is like the old man Rambo one, right? And so his big thing there is that he's like a boat guide out there. [00:17:18] Speaker B: Boat guide. [00:17:19] Speaker A: And it's these missionaries. I think that he's like taking out like documentary or something crew that he's like. I mean, I don't know if you guys really want to be going out that way. It's pretty hectic, pretty treacherous. There's some bad stuff going on. Like, no, we'll be fine. He's like, fucking. So he gets them out there on the boat. Things go wrong right away. Now he has to save their lives. I mean, all I'm saying is there is no one I would trust more. Like, if I'm looking around and it's like, who's going to save my life? WHo's got what it takes? I'm saying if I'm tied up somewhere, right back, my back's tight, my arms tied behind my back around a chair. And Ethan Hunt bursts through the door. I'm not so sure this is going to go well. [00:17:58] Speaker B: Exactly. [00:17:59] Speaker A: He might have a laser and get the thing. Oh, he's got some cool tech. Okay, maybe it's going to get better. But if Rambo kicks through the door and, like, one punch knocks out my captor, I'm like, oh, I'm safe as. [00:18:12] Speaker B: Fuck if I'm tied up. And you show me a screen, you show Ethan Hunt on one, Rambo on the other. You say, pick one to save you. Everyone's picking Rambo every time. Yeah. You know for a fact he's not wearing. Ethan Hunt's wearing a turtleneck and a vest. And he's, like, pushing his glasses up. Rambo is not wearing a shirt. He's covered in stars and bullet holes painted up, blood dripping out of his gun. We're like, how did he kill someone with a gun? What did he do? Did he stab somebody with a gun? [00:18:37] Speaker A: I feel like it's one of those where what you would find out is like, well, if you went with Ethan, he literally knows the entire layout of the building. He had the quickest out. Like, he would have been able to sneak you out. You wouldn't have been shot out. You're going out with Rambo. You are getting. It is going to be a bloodbath on the way out. And you're risking it with him, though. He's doing the dumbest way possible. Ethan's got a plan. But I'd be like, I'm still picking Rambo, even if I kind of thought that. And I'm like, oh, man, this dork with all the tech, that's not. [00:19:09] Speaker B: But it's also one of those situations where I'm tied up, right? I'm being tortured because they want my state secrets. [00:19:13] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:14] Speaker B: If it's Ethan Hunt, I'm getting tortured. It sucks ass. I'm just like, oh, I just wanted to. And also the guy falls down. Ethan Hunt's like, I'm here to save you. I'm like, okay, cool. But when I'm getting tortured and Rambo's on his way, I get a good 45 minutes break because I hear the explosions, the gunshots, everyone's screaming, everyone's screaming, oh, it's the white devil. The white dEvil. The torture guy has to go. He has to go deal with the White Devil. [00:19:34] Speaker A: That's fair. [00:19:35] Speaker B: So I'm in here like, okay, that's another half hour. My balls aren't getting electrocuted. Right? That's good. [00:19:41] Speaker A: Yeah. At least that whole time you're be. It seems like they're pretty preoccupied over. Yeah, it's going to be. Yeah. Ethan Hunt silently coming into the room and saving you. There's no hint ahead of time. You're like, too. If both of them kick on the door, like, follow me. Even when I'm with Ethan, I'm like, what do you want? I want to know what his plan is. I'm like, I got to hear it. Rambo tells me, follow him. Like, of course, Daddy. [00:20:03] Speaker B: Yes, sir. Absolutely. Please, Daddy, don't hurt me. [00:20:06] Speaker A: I'd like jump into his arms. He's like, no, I need those for fighting. I'm like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I thought you were going to carry me out. That was silly of me. Okay, that's fine. Can I do backpack, though? Can I be a little backpack on you? [00:20:17] Speaker B: No, I need that. I need my back for intimidation. No, that's true. It's very big. [00:20:21] Speaker A: No, it's so big and so wide. It's incredible. And how old are you? You're so old. [00:20:25] Speaker B: He's so old. I think I got a lock in Rambo, dude. He's a true action hero. He blessed first and asked questions later. Always ask for forgiveness. [00:20:35] Speaker A: He's out here, I think I'm with you here. Support the troops. Got to go with Rambo. All right, so we have Rambo going up against Jason Bourne. I can't wait. I feel like Jason Bourne. I feel like, give it like another ten years and we'll get like a Jason Bourne. But it's like Rambo style. Just so mad. [00:20:54] Speaker B: When they programmed Jason Bourne, it was just like clockwork Orange. But they just showed him clips of Rambo being Rambo. And this is what we're making. This is what happened. Yeah. So, like, can we take Jason Bourne? We know his. It's just, you know, it's nothing special in there. You already do. [00:21:15] Speaker A: I mean, the thing is, right now he's doing know. He's like parkour guy. He's got some mean, I would say overall, probably the most well rounded. I think obviously you got trained for over a decade by secret government ops. Of course they're going to mid Max. You like crazy. As far as the talent they're giving, know. [00:21:34] Speaker B: Exactly. I think Rambo is ordained by God, though, because you can't have that many bullets flying around and never catch a have caught. [00:21:42] Speaker A: He's got to get a little bit. [00:21:44] Speaker B: Here and then he's so hard. He doesn't give a fuck. [00:21:47] Speaker A: That's true. I mean, it's not like it's. [00:21:48] Speaker B: Can you imagine getting shot in the abs and flexing out the bullet? Rambo would, too. Get out of there. I need that for. That's my colon. And bullet pops out. See? [00:21:57] Speaker A: But now I'm starting to wonder if maybe I made the wrong decision, because I'm wondering if Rambo comes through. Especially if Rambo's kind of bloodied and beaten already, right? Not mortally wounded by any means, but definitely his face, some shit. Who the hell am I to think I'm making it further? Or with, like, if that's how he looks after doing half the journey so far, who am I to think I'm coming out looking good? I feel like Jason Bourne kicks down the door now. At least I got a little more, like, there's a little more power here, a little more force. We're going to be. [00:22:28] Speaker B: My problem with Jason Bourne kicking down the door is he's going to be wishy washy about it. He's going to kick down the door and be like, I don't know who I am. Oh, my God, can I trust you? The government is also controlling me, but I'm working for them. And Rambo just be like, bitch, get behind me. I like, yeah, exactly. Rambo's like, dog, I got. I got two machine guns in each hand. Don't ask how it works. Get behind me. [00:22:52] Speaker A: Rambo takes one look at you like you're white. Yeah, you're fine. Get behind me. [00:22:56] Speaker B: Dude, I think Rambo would punch a missile. If a missile comes flying at us, he's going to punch it. [00:23:02] Speaker A: It's shocking that he hasn't, I'll tell you that much. I don't know why you wouldn't at some point want to punch a missile. Oh, no. Eventually he goes, sorry, Rambo. [00:23:12] Speaker B: Three. [00:23:12] Speaker A: He does go, and I believe it appears he's either fighting the Soviets or it's going to be the Soviets. We're fighting Soviets. Okay. [00:23:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:23:19] Speaker A: Okay, cool. All right, Rambo then. All right, let's do Rambo. [00:23:25] Speaker B: As long as I know we didn't. [00:23:26] Speaker A: Just kill Vietnamese and Korean people the whole time. I'm pretty good with Rambo, like, just wanting to. [00:23:31] Speaker B: Hell, yeah. [00:23:32] Speaker A: Because when we're talking about action movie heroes and we want to have a well rounded group. Right? I need my bruiser. I need my big, beefy boy. We'll be able to watch the movies, start to understand his downsides and what makes know not. Maybe the mean boy got that Bandana game. I'm loving that. [00:23:57] Speaker B: I think Jason Bourne's got too many emotions and complex feelings to be a true action hero. I need somebody who just is blasted. [00:24:04] Speaker A: Blasted. At some point. I don't need all these motives blasted. You're going to have too many conflicts, dude. Too many times where you got to kill one person or the other and you're going to spend way too much time. You know what Rambo does? [00:24:15] Speaker B: I want my action movies to be. It's in the next round, but I just recently watched it. I want it to be like, escape from New York where they show up and they're like, hey, go get this guy out of New York. And that's the plot. That's all I need, baby. [00:24:27] Speaker A: Yeah, but we don't need, yeah, the further we dig down. And then all of a sudden I feel like Jason, more than one of those twos where it's like, so there's the secret government organization that created you, but then what they didn't know is that there's another secret government organization in which they're trying to undermine the other one. And you're like, how many secret, man, I tried to plan a surprise birthday party once, and that secret didn't make it. You're telling me that all these motherfuckers can do it? Nah, they ain't better than me. They ain't better than me in the government. [00:24:56] Speaker B: Think you're better than me? Government? [00:24:58] Speaker A: Better than me? [00:24:58] Speaker B: Government? It's fucking Rambo. My. [00:25:02] Speaker A: Rambo. I mean, I at least want one beefy boy. And I mean, we got beefy boys still to come in Group D, but I got to have me a beefy one. And Stallone is the perfect beefy boy. [00:25:15] Speaker B: Oh, God, he's beefy. [00:25:16] Speaker A: So tan, so leathery. [00:25:18] Speaker B: THat's why the bullets don't get through, right? [00:25:21] Speaker A: Exactly. All right, folks, Rambo moving on as the Group C champion. Shout out to all y'all for helping with the bracket once again, thank you so much.

If you need to email Nick about some reservations at a restaurant that you're having trouble getting, email those two [email protected] you'll help? [00:25:55] Speaker A: I'll do my best. I'll call and tell them I'm the manager of that restaurant or the proprietor. Usually people don't know what the proprietor does. I'll be like, I'm the proprietor of this building. You're going to be letting my friends in, okay? For sure. [00:26:06] Speaker B: Thank you. [00:26:07] Speaker A: As always. Shout out to Charizard for the intro music.
