[00:00:18] Speaker A: Welcome to Friendly Competition, a podcast to discover the best of all time. I'm Nick Carey alongside my coast and best friend, Cody Lena. Discuss various pop culture topics and air down to truly the best of all time.
[00:00:29] Speaker B: How much do you think we could get Will Ferrell to actually run for president? We've had Trump, right?
[00:00:33] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:00:34] Speaker B: We've had plenty of movie stars go for the gold. Let's get Will Ferrell to do it. He seems all right. He's pretty tall.
[00:00:40] Speaker A: He's tall enough to do it.
[00:00:41] Speaker B: People love that. He's handsome.
If he's at a un thing and he's just making everyone yuck it up, they're going to go for peace every time.
[00:00:51] Speaker A: Yeah.
What do you think Will Ferrell wants to change the most? What is the policy that, to be fair, I think he could say was, but we all looked at the ballot and it was Biden, Trump, Farrell. I think Farrell wins in a landslide. I think just to have anyone else, we'd be like, yeah, man, here you go.
[00:01:13] Speaker B: Every time. What if he just nationalizes the oscars?
[00:01:17] Speaker A: So wait, we all get to vote on the oscars, too?
[00:01:19] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. Because he wants to get it. He's trying to get these big yuppies out of Hollywood, and he wants us fucking normal people to decide what's truly the best.
[00:01:27] Speaker A: Would that solve it? Would that fix America if we just said, hey, I get it. There's all these Hollywood elite, and they tell you what's good, and that's all the oscars is, is them telling you what you should like. But most of the time, let's all be honest, most of those oscars movies are shit. And there's nothing really of value.
[00:01:48] Speaker B: Would you rather give the Oscar for best screenplay to tar a beautifully written story about a female conductor whose abuse of power leads her to ruining her own career and all the relationships around her. And as her life spirals out of control, she finds, like, a little semblance of hope, and it's touching and beautiful. Cool. Or do you want to give to Will Ferrell, who dressed up like a big green guy and took all your gold? Like, it's got to be the gold guy.
[00:02:11] Speaker A: Come on. Or at least here's what I'm saying. I think then we can at least start to meet in the middle, because I think a movie like Barbie, for instance, I think Barbie wins if the country gets to vote. I think we'd be like, barbie. Great. It was good on all levels, right? It's a good movie. It's talented. There's good acting, but it also is big and poppy and pulpy in that way.
[00:02:32] Speaker B: I think it's got everything you need.
[00:02:35] Speaker A: I think movies start to meet a little bit more in the middle. I think we make a tar, but she is going to shoot up her enemies.
[00:02:43] Speaker B: Exactly.
We have the beautiful scene where we realize that there's more people auditioning than we thought. So she can't cheat the system, and she has to hope, beyond hope that the woman gets through on her own talent. So she can fuck her instead of a rigged system, or she gets a samurai sword.
[00:03:00] Speaker A: Or we're at the big climactic, she's conducting, and it's going good all of a sudden. Wait, what is that?
Half of the orchestra is assassins, and now she's got to pull that nine out and just start and saving everyone's lives. In theater, imagine that scene.
[00:03:18] Speaker B: The music never stops because the other half of the orchestra playing. Other assassins, they're playing.
[00:03:23] Speaker A: I'm telling you, give me all the emotional beats that tar does, but then give me that last 20 minutes and let's boost it up a little bit and have some. Make it fun to see the movie.
[00:03:37] Speaker B: Okay. New game. New game. Nick, here's what we're going to do. All movies, right? Especially the serious ones. Oh, no. Just all movies in general. Every 20 minutes. Okay. All movies are directed by, like, one person, right? They direct the movie. The last 20 minutes of the movie has to be given to a new director.
Same actors, same everything. But they don't get to know what the director did in the previous part of the movie. Yeah.
[00:04:01] Speaker A: They are given just the top line plot synopsis.
[00:04:05] Speaker B: Exactly.
[00:04:06] Speaker A: But it's like the ending is yours. You do what you. Because I want them to draw it, too, like they do in soccer, where there's two balls, there's two bingo ball things. So you don't know who the pairings are. We're not going to hand off from Scorsese to James Cameron, right?
[00:04:24] Speaker B: No, absolutely not. I think it's random. I think you fucking have Scorsese. And he's doing his movie, and it's all good. In the last 20 minutes, he's really trying to bring it together. He's like, I got this story about a man down on his luck in Boston really trying to get together, but he's got family that's in a mob, and he's trying to get out of the game. Who could end this movie in a good way? And then Tarantino gets his hand on kidding me?
[00:04:43] Speaker A: That would probably be sick.
[00:04:44] Speaker B: But he doesn't get to know what Scorsese was would be, I think that's.
[00:04:49] Speaker A: How we got to do it to fix it. Or once again, I do think your idea of nationalizing the oscars, I think would go a lot further than you think it would to just allowing us to feel like, no, we also are in charge of the culture, so we aren't being told what we like. And we don't just feel better because.
[00:05:06] Speaker B: We like Will Ferrell movies.
[00:05:08] Speaker A: We like Will Ferrell movies. And then homeboy doesn't have an even think. I don't even know if homeboy's ever been nominated outside of being in Lego movie, which I know is nominated, but no one's nominating will ferrell for stuff. And that's pretty messed up, too, isn't it, that will Ferrell doesn't have an Oscar.
[00:05:28] Speaker B: How come for you, comedy movie can't win best film? We got all these. Why it has to make me sad. It has to tell a message. Why can't it unite the world with laughter and love?
[00:05:38] Speaker A: Right? And there's just everyone's like, that was very good. And I'm glad I did that because I'm telling you right now, will Ferrell's batting average on Rotten Tomatoes, which is where we pulled the movies for this listing. High. Yeah, he's swinging high right in this bracket. This is one of the movies that we made an exception for. So we're here in Group D. We have the three seed, the campaign. That's fresh. That's a fresh movie on Rotten Tomatoes going up against the 14 seeds. Stranger than fiction, another top movie succeed, step brothers. That's the one we had to be like, okay, we don't need to talk about the movie dick, which apparently he's great in, by the way, seems to be. People love the movie dick, but also not about what you want it to be about. It's about Richard Nixon, folks. It's not even close. It's nothing good. You had a movie called Dick with Will Ferrell in it, and you decided to make it about Richard Nixon. We got to redo this, right? Like, we have to take another. We have to do not dick, too.
[00:06:41] Speaker B: Are we surprised? I'm a little surprised. There's some people in my life that I'm surprised. I've never seen their penis.
Will Ferrell's one of them. You're one of them, dog.
[00:06:51] Speaker A: I have had this conversation with too many people recently about how I knew. And I think what I came to the conclusion is it's mostly cross country related. I was like, to this day, if some of the guys I was in cross country with died tragically in a fire. But they said, hey, we have their dick. Could you identify, is this them? 100%?
I'd be like, yeah, that's Pete's right there.
If everyone was gone, their family. So that's Pete. We're done. We're out of here. Let's go.
But then it's like, yeah, then there's a level of dicks I haven't seen, and that's what's made. And it's wild that I feel weirder about the ones I haven't seen than the amount that I have seen that I was like, no, it's weird that I haven't. Justin don't know what that I don't know what hammer he's got. And how will I know it's not going to come up again?
[00:07:43] Speaker B: It's too late now. It's too late.
They're probably going to go to the grave not knowing what my penis looks like.
[00:07:48] Speaker A: Yeah. And I hate, hate, because now the only other way I can do it is I'd have to creep on. You'd have to be, like, in the shower. You, like, stand at my place. Like, I'm going to take a shower. I'm like, great, budy, go in. I would have to storm in. Show me that dirt. Show it to me. I need to know.
[00:08:04] Speaker B: And Will Ferrell is also on that list because he's done a lot of movies. I've never seen his penis.
[00:08:09] Speaker A: Hammer, hammer, hammer. It's a hammer dog.
[00:08:14] Speaker B: He's 63, so he's probably doing okay.
[00:08:16] Speaker A: Yeah, I think it's one of those things. And I'm not saying that none of your confidence should come from your penis, but I think there are mean. That's the whole point of big dick energy, right? Is that there's just something about a guy like this. The amount of swings he's taken is because he's swinging.
That's.
[00:08:32] Speaker B: That's what it comes down to. This bracket, specifically, we're in group D has got, like, all of his serious stuff. All both of them.
[00:08:39] Speaker A: We got the two main ones. Stranger than fiction and everything must go. Cody, where are we going to start? Where are we going to?
[00:08:44] Speaker B: Oh, I think we start with the campaign. Stranger than fiction. I haven't seen either of these movies. I'm going to put the tiger on the table. So I don't know. Have you seen the campaign?
[00:08:50] Speaker A: I've seen both, actually. I have seen both these films. So the campaign that comes out. I think I want to say that was like, a 20. That was 2012 even. Oh, damn. I thought this was no, 2016. A much more important election happening. 2012 is just an Obama reelection. So, like, we can joke about. Remember, we could just have a joke. We could just take the piss out of politics. And it was just like, oh, this would be funny, wouldn't it? But now any movie that's about two candidates running, one of them has to be an analog for Trump, the other one has to be an analog for the old, dying democratic system. And she's like, oh, this is funny, you guys.
[00:09:26] Speaker B: This is also, on a side note, can we ever elect someone? Can I ever vote the option to vote for someone that's not a billion years old?
[00:09:35] Speaker A: Yeah, no, you can't. It's too late. It's over.
We've committed to that now. And I think what's crazy to me, I think the problem with why we do that is because George Washington looks super old in all those photos of him, right? Like, he looks older than Biden. Homeboy was like, 50. Like 60, maybe.
[00:09:55] Speaker B: It's a hard 50, though.
[00:09:57] Speaker A: Oh, it's a long live dude fought a revolution.
[00:10:00] Speaker B: Dude, when your teeth are made of wood, it's going to age a man.
[00:10:04] Speaker A: It's going to be tough on you, dude. But I'm just saying, I think that's our problem, is we look at all the original founding. Look at those old guys. Those dudes are old as hell. And we're like, they were not that old. That's life.
[00:10:16] Speaker B: That's what we have right now, too, is like, no one looks old until they're really old, man.
[00:10:20] Speaker A: Until they're really old.
[00:10:22] Speaker B: Really old. We got all this fitness and health and, like, makeup. I don't like it.
[00:10:27] Speaker A: Lotion, man. What lotion has done for us has changed the game. A little suntan, a little sunscreen.
[00:10:33] Speaker B: Who?
[00:10:34] Speaker A: It's changing the game. We're all looking way hot. At least we all get to look hotter as we get older.
[00:10:37] Speaker B: That's true. I like that.
[00:10:38] Speaker A: You got to have the positives. But, yeah, so, I mean, the campaign will Ferrell is like a congressman but messes up, and now they're trying to run him against Zach Galfanakis'character of Marty Huggins, who's like, a very sweet, affable guy. And then it's about how politics corrupts all essentially, and how he becomes terrible.
[00:11:01] Speaker B: Stranger than fiction is the one where he wakes up and all of a sudden he's narrating his own life. Right?
[00:11:04] Speaker A: Emma Thompson is narrating his life. He realizes that he is the character in this woman's story, this author's story. And the big thing with her is the big problem there is that she's known for always killing her main characters. That's like my first thought.
[00:11:23] Speaker B: If you woke up and there was a narrator, all of a sudden, say what you're going to do. That's not good, that's bad.
[00:11:30] Speaker A: Yeah. It feels like if it needs a narrator, we're going to get into some serious. We're not going to have, like, a nice romp. There's going to be things that need to be explained by someone to really emphasize. So it's going to be sad and it's going to be tough.
[00:11:43] Speaker B: Little did he know the guns were being loaded as he spoke. The what?
[00:11:46] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:11:47] Speaker B: What guns?
[00:11:49] Speaker A: Why are there. I don't even have a gun. So who's got guns?
[00:11:53] Speaker B: Can I get a gun, please?
[00:11:54] Speaker A: Yeah.
He does get to meet her, too. There is a scene where it's like he gets to meet her and basically kind of, I feel like, plead for his life a little bit in that way. It's like, hey, I know you always kill your, um. And I know my life hasn't been, like, great. He's an IRS auditor, so they're like.
[00:12:12] Speaker B: The best of the best.
[00:12:13] Speaker A: Yeah. It's one of those people who lives a boring life and that death maybe would be a sweet release from this terrible life. Maybe the best thing that can happen to you as an IRS auditor is death.
But at the end of the day, he's like, oh, I would not like that, though. So then he gets to live his life and it's a fun know. I do.
You. If you're realizing that you're in a, who's the, like Stephen King, you're going to get a great horror story. You're going to be living through something exciting, but also terrifying.
[00:12:48] Speaker B: First of all, I think I'm more of a movie life kind of thing.
[00:12:51] Speaker A: Sure wasn't the question, but, yeah, no, thanks for.
[00:12:54] Speaker B: No, no.
[00:12:55] Speaker A: Answer your own questions. Make up your own questions and answer those instead of the ones I'm asking you. Thank you.
[00:13:01] Speaker B: So I'm saying mine's got to be like. I'm thinking maybe a Miyazaki thing, because nothing really happens except my imagination. But I learned a lot of valuable lessons up.
[00:13:13] Speaker A: Sure. I think I'm going Nicholas sparks.
I want just a romance that's torn apart by war. Family.
[00:13:26] Speaker B: You couldn't handle it, though, Nick. You're not built for not built. You think, okay, you fancy yourself that the second there's a terrible war that tears you and Kellyanne apart, she's on one side, you're on the other. You're star cross lovers. You're not going to be a star cross lover.
[00:13:42] Speaker A: Fantastic star cross lover.
[00:13:43] Speaker B: No, you wouldn't. You'd either just give up and go over there and be like, fuck this team. I'm on your team. Or you would forget all about it and start just warring.
[00:13:52] Speaker A: Just warring.
I think we get through those chapters pretty quick. I think I'm mostly. I pop over there, I see some unforgivable. I'm like, oh, my gosh. I can't believe that happened. But then I'm back over in America, trying to find my true. Lost my then. But she moved across the country because she couldn't stand being in our hometown anymore. So now it's me on a road trip across know, trying to fix the ills that I think of America because I came back from Nam. Yeah, it's basically rocky without the violence.
[00:14:23] Speaker B: Okay, that's your movie. I like that a lot. My movie is I wake up one morning, and Catherine's gone, right? And I'm like, where's my wife? I don't know. And it's. Stu's laying on the couch, and he yawns like he normally doesn't stands up, but instead of just being cute, he looks at me, goes, ah, the mother has left in the night. I must take you to her. And I'm like, you could talk. And then he crawls under the chair, and there's a hole in the floor. And we go through that, and then all of a sudden, there's a bunch of ducks that have a society, and I have to get the king duck to give back.
Yeah. And then I wake up in bed next to Catherine, and then I'm like, that was, wow, that's a wild dream. And then I go downstairs and Stu winks at. Yeah. And then I'm like, what?
[00:14:58] Speaker A: And that's the.
You just. I like it. I think we'd have some fun. We could be narrated. We could be protagonists. We could have some fun.
[00:15:06] Speaker B: Yeah. We could get some shit going on.
[00:15:07] Speaker A: I think for me, if I'm looking at these two, I think stranger than fiction. I think this is his first attempt at, like, I want to do something a little serious. There's something about 2006.
[00:15:17] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:15:17] Speaker A: That it feels like the clown always wants to let us know. They're like, no, I got more bullets in the chamber. I can do something real. I can be a serious guy. I don't know why we need that. I don't ever request it.
[00:15:29] Speaker B: So weird about watching a comedic actor do serious stuff that it takes me out of it. Only a few people have gotten away with it. Robin Williams has gotten away with it. I think maybe Jim Carrey once or twice.
[00:15:41] Speaker A: But I think what you're waiting for most, it always feels like you're kind of just waiting for them. Could you just do a bit, please?
[00:15:47] Speaker B: Yeah, make me laugh. Funny man.
[00:15:48] Speaker A: Like, there's all this tension that gets built up and you're like, I know you know how to be funny. Could you please just do that?
[00:15:54] Speaker B: At least fart or something?
[00:15:56] Speaker A: Right?
[00:15:56] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:15:57] Speaker A: Just like, let one go, just so I can feel like, oh, it's.
[00:16:01] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, that's Will Ferrell. He let it rip.
[00:16:03] Speaker A: Okay.
So I do understand that. But I think over the campaign, there is something too Will Ferrell. It's not that he is a very generous to his fellow actors and making sure everyone's funny, but sometimes I'm thinking, like, blades of glory, the campaign, they're trying to set him up with the new hotness because in blades of glory, he gets set up with John Heater. Right. Which is.
I wonder. I wonder if Will Ferrell, he's a sportsman at the end. I wonder if he's like that competitive where he's. No, no.
[00:16:34] Speaker B: You're not getting funnier than me, motherfucker.
[00:16:36] Speaker A: I'm not sharing top billing. Okay?
Talladega Knights is his movie. Everyone else gets to be funny. But that's Will Ferrell movie, right?
[00:16:45] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:16:45] Speaker A: Where it's like, no, we're going to put you as Zach Alphanakis. Everyone. He just did the hangover. Everyone loves him. And you're Will Ferrell and everyone loves you. He's like, only one can survive. Yeah, I'm coming.
[00:16:54] Speaker B: I'm locking in. Stranger than fiction. I think. I think it's cool that he did and he went out and got. And it's got good reviews and stuff. I might have to put this on my list as well.
[00:17:02] Speaker A: The people like it. It's a fun one.
[00:17:04] Speaker B: I'm so over election shit, especially going into this year. Yeah.
[00:17:09] Speaker A: It's like, I don't need it.
[00:17:10] Speaker B: I don't need it. I got enough stuff going on.
[00:17:12] Speaker A: Okay, next up, we have stepbrothers going against. Everything must go once. I think, to me, step brothers is the ultimate. You have to watch it more than once. Will Ferrell movie.
[00:17:27] Speaker B: I was about to say the same thing. That movie, the first time you see it, it seems so childish and not funny. But then when you watch it again, it fits together. It just is good.
[00:17:38] Speaker A: The jokes are perfect. You really do need to get over that. First watch is so much. It's about being. Yeah, why is this even? These men are pathetic. And it's like, I think sometimes we forget that. I think Will Ferrell has been on his own journey to help end toxic masculinity or some of the things that are really bad that men do and be like, hey, you should be laughing at this. But, you know, it's dumb.
[00:18:02] Speaker B: Exactly.
[00:18:04] Speaker A: He's never playing these characters like these guys are doing. These guys are crushing it, right? Look at these guys. They live with their parents. After all these years, they're crushing it. It's like, no, you're supposed to be in on the joke. But I think the first time you watch it, you're like, does he know that this is kind of weird that he's playing this character? And then it's those second those, third those. You're like, oh, yeah, cursey knows. Andy's making fun of it.
[00:18:25] Speaker B: He's very aware of it.
[00:18:26] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:18:27] Speaker B: Have you seen everything must go?
[00:18:29] Speaker A: I have not.
[00:18:30] Speaker B: I have not either. It's another one of his serious ones that sneaks in here that we haven't seen.
[00:18:35] Speaker A: Strong ratings, 73. Fresh, fresh to death. Although smaller audience score, which is interesting because that might mean that critics like it. But for those who don't know, everything must go is a Will Ferrell movie where he's an alcoholic salesman. Life has now gone south. He's fucking everything up. His wife throws everything out onto the yard, and now he basically takes all those possessions and does a yard sale with all of his. Cody, what if Catherine threw everything on the yard and you were like, all right, I guess I'll just try to sell it.
What is your most valuable? Or what is the thing you think you could pitch up even if you know it's not that valuable? You're like, okay, maybe if I can sell this to the right guy, yeah.
[00:19:21] Speaker B: I can make some money moves. I mean, if I get a nerd up in there, the computer that I'm on right now is a big, beefy boy. I could probably sell that for a lot of money.
[00:19:29] Speaker A: Do you think Catherine's throwing out the computer, though? Or was she like, well, it's a computer. I like a computer.
[00:19:32] Speaker B: I think she'd keep the laptop, but I think she'd throw the computer out as symbolic gesture. But I got some action figures in here that I could probably. If I get a chump, I could make some money moves on them. I got that original triple h action figure from, like, 2002 that sweats.
[00:19:46] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, that's a good one. Still in box, everyone. He's taking offers. He's opening up.
[00:19:54] Speaker B: You want a sweaty triple h?
[00:19:55] Speaker A: I got a sweaty triple h. It's out there, folks.
[00:19:58] Speaker B: How about you? What do you sell? What are you making your money moves?
[00:20:01] Speaker A: This is where I was thinking about this, and I'm like, I got belt buckles. I got nothing, dude. I didn't realize that. I'm just living in Kellyanne's house.
If she throws out all of my stuff, I am of no value.
[00:20:17] Speaker B: Oh, I think of that, too, sometimes when I think of, like, if my wife has to throw out all my stuff into the yard, it's not that much stuff.
How much stuff's in our house?
[00:20:26] Speaker A: The house will arguably just look cleaner if she does this, throws out all my crap, and then it's like, oh, the house looks great now. What did you do? Oh, I kicked him out.
[00:20:37] Speaker B: I kicked him out.
[00:20:40] Speaker A: And I know that's not what she thinks. She loves me here. She wants me to be here. But it's one of those things where I'm like, man, I got to maybe get some more art or.
[00:20:51] Speaker B: We can't let our wives know that we have nothing. We bring nothing to the table. We can't let them know.
They must think that we're, like, the best husbands ever and that no husband. Hey, there are guys out there like us, though.
We could be replaced, Nick.
[00:21:05] Speaker A: But here's the thing. I like to think, like, I do a lot of the cooking. I make her lunch in the morning, and those are all things that are nice to do. But she knows how instacart works. She knows how doordash works. She don't need it.
So the services I provide, I'm like, oh, man. I mean, obviously, I'm paying the rent or the mortgage.
[00:21:27] Speaker B: I just pay rent to her. My wife also charges me rent.
[00:21:33] Speaker A: She said we bought the house, but I didn't sign anything. Did you?
[00:21:36] Speaker B: No. Did you know, I didn't sign a single thing?
[00:21:38] Speaker A: But she said it's ours. But she does specifically at the top of the month. Say, you got your rent. Your rent is due.
[00:21:44] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:21:44] Speaker A: Three days. I only have three days. It's the hardest landlord I've ever had. It's true.
[00:21:49] Speaker B: And the late fees are extreme. With my house, late fees are extreme. My dude, I was late by 2 hours because Catherine wasn't here.
[00:21:57] Speaker A: She was late, right?
[00:21:58] Speaker B: I couldn't give her the money. She showed up. She charged me $1,400.
[00:22:01] Speaker A: Yeah. I wasn't allowed to pet Sandler for a whole day. It was terrible. Just wanted to pet my boy, and he wanted me to pet, and he's like, no, you both have to suffer this. Stay away.
[00:22:10] Speaker B: Nick fucked up. I got to lock in step brothers. I don't have a.
[00:22:16] Speaker A: I. I'm with you. We're going to lock step brothers in. As much as I want to sit here and look at stranger than fiction, but we should really include a dramatic will Ferrell.
[00:22:26] Speaker B: No, here's the problem.
[00:22:27] Speaker A: Here's what we got to do.
[00:22:28] Speaker B: Well, you do you.
[00:22:29] Speaker A: No, I do think maybe step brothers is my favorite, so I am entirely biased. And this is the one for me. This is probably my go to the most.
[00:22:42] Speaker B: Yes. Here's what I want to say. I'm locking in step brothers over stranger than fiction as well. And I want to put it this way.
We have to make the definitive will Ferrell list of movies. It's stranger than fiction. Everything must go. Zoolander, mega mind, Lego movie. All these great movies that were on this list are great movies with Will Ferrell in them, but they are not will Ferrell movies. When you think will Ferrell, you don't think of them. You think of what we have here as the final four, which we've created.
[00:23:12] Speaker A: I do think our final four is what you would mean. Everyone's going to have their favorites, and maybe someone every now and again is going toss in the other guy. Maybe someone's a big fan of daddy's home. But at the end of the day, if we're talking four will Ferrell movies, if someone came down, if aliens came to earth and like, all right, we want to know more about this will Ferrell, man. You're going to give them elf, talladega, knights, anchorman and stepbrothers. We don't have a choice, which I do.
Do they all come out? Is that sprint? Is that all of them?
I think. Aren't these just like back to back to back to back? I don't think there's any. He's putting these out pretty tightly. Like, this has maybe one of the best runs that you're going to find of an actor.
[00:23:58] Speaker B: Oh, my God. The suburbans came out in 1999. Sorry, that's a thing for me and Nick. You guys will look that up on your own.
[00:24:04] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:24:05] Speaker B: Okay. So elf was the first big one. We got it on here. That was 2003. We get hit with elf. Right.
[00:24:10] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:24:11] Speaker B: Anchorman 2004, the legend of Ron Bergen. The next one we have on this list is Talladega Knights 2006, after Talladega Knights, step brothers, we get hit with in 2008. So every two years, he was dropping.
[00:24:25] Speaker A: An epic on us, just putting out the best stuff, doing one for them and one for him. And every time he made one for him, knocked it out of the park.
[00:24:33] Speaker B: Yeah. And these movies might not be his best according to critics and stuff, but they're so iconic.
[00:24:38] Speaker A: These are the ones we did this, right? This is very rarely can I feel. We can look at the list, we can look at what we've accomplished here and say, yeah, no, that's right, we did that. That's what that's supposed to look like. And today we did it. And I feel grateful for that. I feel scared now to do the final four because now we're going to have to dig into this.
[00:24:57] Speaker B: We don't show up for the final four. It's because we laughed ourselves to death.
[00:25:00] Speaker A: Yeah, because they were great. They were fun. It's Will Ferrell. But now, you all know that. You all have the homework. You know what to do. Get out there, watch those movies, get ready for that final for Friday. But until then, thank you so much for listening to friendly competition. What about your boys?
