Group D Boat Boat 6

[00:00:19] 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. Discuss various pop culture topics and narrow it down to truly the best of all time. [00:00:31] Speaker B: Or as we like to call it, the boat. Before we get set foot on the boat, we put him into a sweet 16 style tournament. We argue each round, we side a winner. Nick, what criteria do we use when we decide he steps foot on the boat? [00:00:40] Speaker A: Whatever the hell we want. Cody, you want to tell him what we're talking about this season, bro? [00:00:44] Speaker B: We are talking about the most powerful creatures and fears and people of all time. This is a stack bracket of things. [00:00:51] Speaker A: That are powerful, strong, very strong, in fact, will make you scared. [00:00:55] Speaker B: If you ran into any of these in a dark alley, I would be concerned. [00:00:58] Speaker A: Dog, you do not even know the half of it. Here, actually. Okay, hold on. I know I should be afraid of storm. If I walk into her in a dark alley, I'm not scared until I. Until she makes me scared. I'm actually aroused most. [00:01:12] Speaker B: Storm. If storm starts saying weird poetry, then you know, shit's about to get fucked up. [00:01:16] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you walk into the alley and. [00:01:18] Speaker B: She'S like, may the gods of the darkest eye make the sky rain the blood of my enemies. You be like, oh, fuck. What? [00:01:24] Speaker A: Oh, man. [00:01:25] Speaker B: Damn it. [00:01:26] Speaker A: Nerds. But until then, I'm like, what you about, Mama? What you doing down here? [00:01:32] Speaker B: Are you my african queen that can control the weather? [00:01:34] Speaker A: It's all I've been looking for. [00:01:35] Speaker B: You think I forgot about that? [00:01:37] Speaker A: I'll never. [00:01:37] Speaker B: Baby, how could you? [00:01:38] Speaker A: It's my. It's all my bios. It's on all my bios. [00:01:42] Speaker B: It's all my. All. Every dating profile to this day. [00:01:45] Speaker A: To this day. Haven't changed them. Kellyanne hates it. She's like, that's very. Why do you still have that up? I'm like, well, I don't know. [00:01:51] Speaker B: Just, you know, in case of emergencies, bro. [00:01:54] Speaker A: Gotta see what the offers coming in are, you know? [00:01:56] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:01:56] Speaker A: Just cause I'm at the restaurant and I've ordered my food doesn't mean I can't pull out my phone and look up other restaurants. Okay. [00:02:05] Speaker B: Just cause I've ordered my food doesn't mean I can't take something to go. No, it does mean that, sir, you cannot do this. Exactly what it means. [00:02:13] Speaker A: If you wanna go eat at other restaurants, you can go eat other restaurants. But, no, this restaurant's closed. [00:02:18] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I see. [00:02:21] Speaker A: I forgot. I forgot how that whole. How that whole saying went, that's on me. Ah, folks, here we are in group D of boat. Boat six, which is kind of like 666 in its own cursed way. Obviously, they're both evil. Evil and cursed. So, folks, we take all 16 of the most previous champions from series six. We then put them into a bracket together. The bracketologists kick it back to us. They tell us who the rankings are. And here we are in group D. So make sure you go back, listen to group a, B and C to figure out who their champions are. Here in group D, we have the three seed storm, the winner of best X men, going up against the 14 seed Rambo, best action hero. The other matchup that we have is the six seed, spectrophobia, or the fear of mirrors from our silly phobias bracket going up against the eleven seed cleaner from our best goons bracket. Best. If you're running your organization, who's the goon you want the most? Cody, where do you wanna start? [00:03:22] Speaker B: Absolutely. Storming Rambo. How about that? These are two. Okay? [00:03:25] Speaker A: Wanna watch that movie, don't you? Fuck. [00:03:27] Speaker B: I do wanna watch that movie. [00:03:28] Speaker A: Watch that movie a couple times. It might slow it down, too. [00:03:32] Speaker B: Might. Dude, it's like the most re. Okay, Rambo. Rambo. Like a realistic. I say in air quotes, hero versus storm. We basically agreed as the most powerful of the X Men. [00:03:43] Speaker A: Yeah. And our favorite. And just in general, also, maybe. And I know some of you. I know some of you are already pushed up your glasses and have said, actually, we want to talk about omega level mutants. Stop it. [00:03:54] Speaker B: Okay? No, for the record, you want to. [00:03:56] Speaker A: Hang out with Professor Xavier or do you want to hang out with Storm? Just answer the fucking question. You want to hang out with Storm? Great. Storm's the best. [00:04:02] Speaker B: We win. Hey, she's also in a mega level mutant, so get off. [00:04:04] Speaker A: Yeah, well, no, and I know that. So I'm like, if we're talking about omega level mutants, what are we talking about here? [00:04:08] Speaker B: Read a book, dude. Yeah, a comic book, specifically. [00:04:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:04:12] Speaker B: But then we got Rambo, the man who just can't turn it off, dude. He's suffering from PTSD, and the only cure is more stress, more blood. More blood, dude. [00:04:22] Speaker A: Really feels. When you. When you put it like that, Cody, it almost feels like he didn't talk to any psychologists at all. [00:04:29] Speaker B: I had a theory when I was in college and I was in my party days. Cause I used to get heartburn pretty bad, right? [00:04:34] Speaker A: Yep. I was there. [00:04:35] Speaker B: I thought in my ignorant years that, like, if I just gave my body so much stuff that caused the heartburn. Eventually it would just give up. [00:04:43] Speaker A: On the other side? [00:04:43] Speaker B: Yeah, on the other side, dude, I'd cross the bridge, I get to the other side. That's not how it works. [00:04:48] Speaker A: It's not how bodies work. [00:04:49] Speaker B: Rambo's trying that with his mental health. [00:04:51] Speaker A: My dog just tried so hard to be like, no, no, no. I know how to fix this. Yeah, by therapy and some medications and. No, what if I. What if I booby trapped this entire town and everything, and I blow up a gas station and murder all the cops? [00:05:10] Speaker B: I can't sleep every night. All I think about is the men's lives I took and how they didn't deserve it. How we're just all cogs in a military system. We're just pawns fighting for the rich, you know, have no control of our own destiny. Okay. Do you think you should see a therapist now that. No, I think I should kill more bodies until there's so many that I can. That screams just sound like white noise to me. It's like, okay. [00:05:31] Speaker A: Oh, um. Okay. We have not looked into that as far as a cure. Maybe shrooms first. Have you tried lsd? [00:05:41] Speaker B: In his defense, if the screams of your victims are keeping you up at night, if you do kill enough people, it will turn into like, a cacophonous white noise. [00:05:49] Speaker A: The screams of your enemies can only be louder, you know? [00:05:52] Speaker B: Yeah, but I'm saying. Yes, that's what I'm saying. [00:05:54] Speaker A: Yeah, make the white. No. Yeah, I'm agreeing with you. But you. The best way to do it is through your enemies. Because then there's more noise there and that'll get louder. [00:06:00] Speaker B: Exactly. I'm not. You can't turn it down. You can't turn it off. Rambo, you said it yourself. Yeah, so might as well turn. Turn this shit to eleven. [00:06:07] Speaker A: And this is only the first movie we've. [00:06:08] Speaker B: We. [00:06:09] Speaker A: As we discussed, this does not happen the rest of the movies. But in that first movie, that scene where he's just broken down crying. Cause he just can't believe what he's done to me is the most realistic action here. That's what I. Because, hey, man, we've all been on adrenaline highs before and felt like we were gods and you couldn't touch us. But then that's got to crash. And the higher, the higher the peak, the farther the fall, right? So it only makes sense that at some point that adrenaline would crash out of any superhero and they would have to look at what they've done and come to terms with it. And I love that most movies end before we get that. Rambo is like, no, let's show it. [00:06:43] Speaker B: Yeah, we kind of show. [00:06:44] Speaker A: Here's what it looks like. He's fucked up. He hates it. He hates that he's done this, but. [00:06:49] Speaker B: He'S going to do it again. [00:06:50] Speaker A: It's the middle of the movie. Here's the thing. This is nothing, by the way. This has nothing to do with anything. But I was just thinking about. I was just thinking about. Because Rambo. I think the one thing that we all, a lot of people like about Rambo, choice of weapon is a bow and arrow. You don't get that that often, right? A lot of guns, a lot of knives. But he's a bow and arrow guy. [00:07:07] Speaker B: And storm is a weather person, which isn't fair. [00:07:10] Speaker A: How much different is the Lord of the Rings if instead of Legolas it's Rambo? [00:07:14] Speaker B: Oh, my God, dude. [00:07:15] Speaker A: How is it better? I'm like that. That helm's deep battle gets way more kick ass, dude. [00:07:22] Speaker B: He'd be ripping off like, orc jaws and shit. It'd be so metal. That's the thing. That's the thing. Lord of the Rings was missing. It was very. The fight scenes are great. Choreography is great. I'm not knocking the fight scenes. Yeah, no, no, no. But I'm saying Rambo brings a different spice to it, dude. He brings an unadulterated rage that the rest of the fucking, the ring bears do not have. [00:07:42] Speaker A: They are not getting there. [00:07:44] Speaker B: The fellowship doesn't have that. They're out here trying to. They're trying to kill because they have to. And it's orcs. It's bad. [00:07:49] Speaker A: Whatever. [00:07:49] Speaker B: Rambo, no matter what he says, he gets off on it. You know, Rambo's fucking. Oh, dude. [00:07:56] Speaker A: Him and Gimli, that's the thing is the tag teams, him and Gimli do is disgusting, for one. [00:08:02] Speaker B: So you get rid of. Do you get rid of Legolas and put Rambo in? Okay. [00:08:06] Speaker A: I'm just kidding. I'm going. I'm going bow for bow. I still need long distance. I still need my shooters. So I'm still going to keep. I'm going Legolas over. I'm taking Legolas out and I'm putting a. But imagine, imagine you put Legolas in the Rambo universe that now becomes like a serial killer movie. Like, he's. He give him the same traumas and whatnot, but he's just like he had some little more sociopathic with the way he's going to tear it down, isn't it? [00:08:27] Speaker B: The sheriff of a small town sprays Legolas with a hose. Legolas is going to wax that ass in a. [00:08:33] Speaker A: In a brutal way. [00:08:35] Speaker B: Oh, my God. You can't get elves wet. They hate it. [00:08:37] Speaker A: No, no. And he's. [00:08:39] Speaker B: They're like, dude, they're like chinchillas. If you get him wet, his hair is going to fall out. [00:08:43] Speaker A: Yep. [00:08:43] Speaker B: Is that what you want? [00:08:44] Speaker A: So you want a bald, legless, bald legola, dude. Bald legolas running through town, getting his revenge. Ah. We gotta write. Once again, folks, talk to your local senators and remind them that copyright law should be changed definitively for these reasons. Trademark law. We need to bump that down to just five years. Okay, so you could have. You could have already had this, by the way, if you would just follow us and just talk to your senators. Just. [00:09:11] Speaker B: Just sign our fucking petition. [00:09:13] Speaker A: Right? [00:09:13] Speaker B: Why? Like. Like, subscribe, follow, and then sign our petition? [00:09:19] Speaker A: Yes. All those things. [00:09:20] Speaker B: What if. Can you imagine if Orlando Bloom couldn't get wet? [00:09:23] Speaker A: Well, because he. The problem is that he creates so much wetness. [00:09:26] Speaker B: Yeah, that's. [00:09:27] Speaker A: It's actually like, it. It's like. That's the problem is that he himself is so dry because of how much wetness he creates, he can't himself act. [00:09:35] Speaker B: He's at a club. He's at a club, right? And it's like fucking the sexiest situation. It's like a yemenite Charlie XCX music video. Everyone's in their panties and dancing. It's crazy. And Orlando boobs in the middle of it. And some girl's like, I'm so wet for you. And he's like, I'm out. That's a deal breaker, dog. [00:09:48] Speaker A: I can't do it. [00:09:49] Speaker B: What? Orlando. Boom. [00:09:51] Speaker A: It's the curse. It's the monkey paw that he was given. Okay, so back to Storm. Back to Storm and Rambo. I. I think I'm. I think I'm going with Storm. I love Mia Rambo. Very fun. Great. Truly, I think, a great action hero. But Storm is. Storm rides a motorcycle when she could fly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:10:10] Speaker B: Here's. I'm disagreeing with you, but this is why. And we got to look at this. [00:10:14] Speaker A: Okay? [00:10:14] Speaker B: We're doing. We're doing this show because at the end of the day, aliens have tasked us with this. That's what I assume the shadow council is. They tasked us with this so they can figure out what the best thing of all time is. Right. They don't have time to go through all of human pop culture, so they wanted us to do it. And I think I'm going to vote for Rambo for the sole fact that when they're looking at it and they're doing their research and figuring out the. I want them to think this is what humans are capable. If they see storm. If they see storm, they make. Oh, that's a cartoon character. That's not real. They see Rambo. They're like, okay, well, if we're gonna do this, we better come correct. [00:10:42] Speaker A: Cause they have rainbow might. Might stave off the alien invasion for a couple more years. [00:10:47] Speaker B: In the event, if you see Rambo and you're like, they what if they have, like, five of those guys? That's gonna make you consider what you're about to do. [00:10:54] Speaker A: I hear. I hear what you're saying, and I. And it's not that I disagree, but, you know, your boy's looking for an african queen who likes to travel, so who can change the weather, control the weather. Yeah, I know. That's, you know, that's what your boy is looking for. So we will go to. The american voting coin of 2004 is brought to you by random.org. low seed gets a pick. That is going to be Cody with the 14 seed. [00:11:16] Speaker B: I mean, I gotta go. Bush, man. He'd send Rambo in a second. [00:11:20] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. That's his number one. [00:11:22] Speaker B: Dude, you know what? 911 happens. Like, why don't we just send Rambo to do. We'll get Rambo. [00:11:26] Speaker A: Yeah, the problem is that Rambo, he made Rambo the security, the secretary of defense. And we're like, oh, all the. Oh, the only options are always go in and destroy everyone. Okay. And then cry. All right, well, that's. Yeah, I guess it's what we're doing. So. Actually not that much different than Dick Cheney. Dick Cheney, the Rambo of the George Bush administration. [00:11:46] Speaker B: In a way. [00:11:47] Speaker A: In a way. All right, well, we are going to flip here. That's George Bush, baby. Rambo. Moving on into the next round where it will go up against spectrophobia, the fear of mirrors versus cleaner. Now, for anyone who's cure, once again, if you. If you didn't listen to the goons episode, a cleaner is the person you call in when everyone else has fucked up everything. You're. Your team has fucked up. You're. You're essentially calling the guy who's on payroll, who otherwise doesn't really do much, but it will clean up the mess that has been made by your goons. Okay. And usually in a very violent and bloody beautiful way. [00:12:26] Speaker B: And you don't ask questions about the cleaner you tell the cleaner job the job gets done, and it might not get done the way you want it, but damn it, it'll get done. [00:12:32] Speaker A: Exactly. So. But. Mears, Cody, let's get back to mirrors a little bit. There's a lot to fear about a man who will kill you in any way. [00:12:40] Speaker B: There's a lot to fear about the most terrifying thing it is, though, your own reflection, the reflection of mankind looking back at you. When you look in the mirror, Nick, you're not just looking at the reflection yourself. You're looking at all of humanity staring back at you. Can you handle that? [00:12:52] Speaker A: Can you? Some people can, some people can't. Some days I can, and some days I can't. You know, some days I take a long, deep look, and I saw and I solved life's greatest problems. Other times, I have to look away. Mostly those are times when I'm shirtless because I got a bigger belly than I thought I had, and I'm a little bummed out by it, and I'm like, hey. Aw, man. [00:13:07] Speaker B: I was having a good run there for a while. [00:13:09] Speaker A: Ah, what happened, Mir. Mir? Just two days ago, I looked like a God in this mirror. [00:13:14] Speaker B: What happened? What's up with that, though? [00:13:17] Speaker A: Mirror. [00:13:18] Speaker B: I'll look in the mirror, and I'll be like, damn, I look good. And then the same day, I'm like, damn, I look like shit. What's up with that? That's the mirror in that, right? [00:13:24] Speaker A: Same mirror, same. But I can't imagine that. I know. Maybe it's like, oh, well, you've eaten something, so maybe. No, you cannot tell me that my body changes that drastically within hours of each other, that I can go from being highly confident to now feeling a giant piece of shit. [00:13:41] Speaker B: No, that's fucking up mirrors. It's the mirror, and the mirror is doing it to us. I think what people don't understand about mirrors is that when you look in them, they're also sending you a message. [00:13:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:50] Speaker B: Right? And it's going straight to the lizard part of your brain. You cannot ignore the message, whatever the message is they want to send. And it's always, you got kind of fat, huh, bud? [00:13:58] Speaker A: Hey, buddy. And it's not just our maybe. Maybe that is. Maybe that's really what the fear is, right? I got a little fat, huh? A little bit bigger. A little bit bigger than you were, huh? And you know. And you know you could do, but you don't want to do. [00:14:09] Speaker B: I don't want to do sit ups again. Like, every time I work out, you expect me to do it again every. [00:14:16] Speaker A: Yeah, it's not. It's not like, oh, I could do it once a month and that'll. It's not like it. Why can't working out be like changing your oil? You know, as long as you do it every. Every few thousand miles. All right. Machine is going to be just the same. Don't worry about it. But instead I got to do that. It's more like filling up my gas. I got to do this shit all the time. No, I don't want to do it. Also, here's the thing about mirrors that scares me, is how quickly we figured it out. I don't. I don't understand how mirrors work to this day. I know. You can tell me sand, you can tell me silver, you can tell me mercury. I don't all those things, but do you know did go do it? No, go do it. Then. Go make mirror. Get all your materials and go do it. Cause you wanna know who did do it? People back in Greece. Dude, that's insane to me. I am terr. That is terrifying. I'm like, how did y'all know how to do this? Creates. So, I mean, like. Cause we know. Cause they tried to use them to make, you know, like mirrored surfaces and stuff. Yeah. [00:15:14] Speaker B: Cause they had to fight Medusa. [00:15:16] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. [00:15:17] Speaker B: So here's the thing, dude. If we still had medusas around, we would invented meters, too. [00:15:22] Speaker A: Well, okay. That's a good point. That's a good point, I guess. Yeah, technology met the moment. [00:15:27] Speaker B: Yeah, well, you. Cause it was like innovation is like. Is a birth from necessity. Right? Like, we need to fight the Medusas. And the fact that the Greeks did it for us is pretty. That's just a cool thing. They were like our cleaner, kinda. That's, in a way, for the Medusa problem. [00:15:42] Speaker A: Kind of cleaned up that Medusa problem. Hey, you tell me the last time you saw one. Okay. [00:15:46] Speaker B: Can you imagine being the first dude who made Amir and be like, hey, Nick, Nick, look what I made. Dude, check this out. And you're like, that's just me. It's like. I know. [00:15:53] Speaker A: That's the point. Have you seen you? Hey, look what I made. Who's that ugly fuck in the room with us? That's you. That's you, bro. I made that. That's you. Oh, man. I'm going kind of fat. [00:16:06] Speaker B: I thought I was a bronze greek God. It turns out I'm pudgy, actually. [00:16:11] Speaker A: Good shoulders, though. These shoulders still look great, by the way. [00:16:14] Speaker B: So, actually, here's my problem with the mirror. I don't have a. We're just making this mirrors now. I don't have a fear. I'm not afraid of mirrors, right. I don't believe that if I break it, I'm going to have bad luck. But they kind of bum me out sometimes, though, like real talk. [00:16:26] Speaker A: And isn't the. Isn't the fear of being bummed out? Think about that. Because fear can be like a jolting sense of adrenaline, right. That terrifies you in the moment, but eventually you come to your sense, it goes away, right. A spider or a snake crawls across and you freak the fuck out. But it goes away. Right. The second that thing leaves, the fear goes away. But a me, there's mirrors everywhere. That's right there. And isn't it worse just to be a little bummed out all the time? Isn't that something to be afraid of? I don't know. [00:16:58] Speaker B: Something. No, it's science. [00:16:59] Speaker A: I don't know math and science and chemistry, dude. [00:17:02] Speaker B: But you know who could solve that problem? The cleaner. I told him I was having meter problems. He just break them. See, the cleaners got solutions, dude. I got a lock in the cleaner. He's got solutions. [00:17:10] Speaker A: He's going to handle it for you, that's for sure. I'm going to. I got to go with the mirrors, man. I think I'm feeling. I'm feeling on that mirror tip. So we'll settle this the only way we know how. Once again, with that american voted coin up, 2004, George Bush. [00:17:21] Speaker B: Is this the most contested bracket we've ever had? [00:17:24] Speaker A: It's close. It's. I think seven is the record and we're at like five right now, so. And we still have, we still have a full final four to get through and this and the next matchup. Yeah. All right, so we got, once again, George Bush is facing up, which means John Kerry is on the other side. Low seed gets picked. That's going right back to Cody. [00:17:41] Speaker B: I'm going to say. Actually, I'm going with Kerry. I think Carrie's got a cleaner that we don't know about. [00:17:46] Speaker A: Sure. Why not? I mean, didn't maybe. Maybe busy apparent when it needed him most. [00:17:51] Speaker B: Yeah, right, dude. [00:17:52] Speaker A: But hey, that's, hey, you got to trust your own cleaner. You got to pick your own cleaners and you got to employ and be a good, got to be just as a good of an employer as they are an employee, you know? [00:18:00] Speaker B: That's right. That's part of the battle. [00:18:02] Speaker A: All right, so we're going to flip. That is John Kerry. All right, Cody, so why don't you just tell me who wins? This is your. This is all Cody's picks right here. We got Rambo going up against the cleaner. Now, some obvious things here we could put Rambo in the back. Do. If you're running a criminal empire, yes. You hire Rambo. [00:18:22] Speaker B: Yeah, if you. If you can get him. But what, he wouldn't work for a criminal empire. That's the beauty of Rambo. His moral compass is so fucked that even it points in the right direction twice a day. [00:18:32] Speaker A: You know, like, sir, are you thinking that you could. You'd have to kind of always. There'd be a lot of mental manipulation if he's your cleaner, where you have to convince him that this is somehow related to Vietnam. [00:18:44] Speaker B: Still, dog, it's Vietnam all over. This is our Vietnam. [00:18:47] Speaker A: This is our Vietnam. [00:18:49] Speaker B: If you had to get a cleaner to take care of Rambo, who would win? [00:18:53] Speaker A: Rainbows. Got up against a lot and stood the test. [00:18:56] Speaker B: Got up against a lot, but the cleaner always gets it done, dude. I think, you know, hey, Nick, John Wick's a cleaner. [00:19:04] Speaker A: John Wick's a cleaner. I would. I would go. I would go femme fatale cleaner on this one. [00:19:08] Speaker B: I think you're. [00:19:08] Speaker A: I mean, I'm calling in Scarlet Rose, right? That's her name. And Scarlett Rose, I think. And I. I mean, is it the best way to kill someone by having someone, having them be seduced and then, like, just straight up either poisoned or choked out with a wire? [00:19:24] Speaker B: It's not. [00:19:25] Speaker A: It's not as flashy. But if I got this guy wins, right? This guy's putting up points on the scoreboard. I can't take the risk that, oh, let me have him in a shootout. Oh, guess what he's really good at. Shootout. Yeah. [00:19:37] Speaker B: You don't want that here. I think. I think if your style of assassination is seduction into murder, there's a level of respect you're giving your enemy with that because you're saying I can't beat you in a fight. I know that. Right? Also, you're giving yourself a little present because at the end of the day, not only did you take down Rambo, you're one of the few people that know what his hog looks like. [00:19:58] Speaker A: And that's, hey, that part of it, that's got it. Then you can write. You can write in your diary to bring to the national monument of hogs. We brought it around, Cody. [00:20:08] Speaker B: Okay. I'm just saying, for the record, if we're all sitting around me, Nick and all my other boys, we're all cleaners, right? And someone's like, did you hear they took down fucking John Wick? Wow. Someone got Wick, man. Wish I could have saw that guy's hog. You know, someone say that, like, you. [00:20:22] Speaker A: Know how you could be saying that at funerals all the time? [00:20:24] Speaker B: You can't be the best in your field, and your field be murdering other people, and people not be like, I'm sorry, there's a question that's going to be asked about your hog. [00:20:34] Speaker A: Here's Cody. I want to tell you about something that I don't believe, you know, but is real and is kind of the equivalent of. So back in, like, the early nineties, the Internet is in its infancy. [00:20:47] Speaker B: Yes. [00:20:48] Speaker A: Groupies who you can argue are the best at what they do. Having sex with rockstars. [00:20:52] Speaker B: They. Man, if it's your passion, follow your passion. [00:20:54] Speaker A: There was a website where groupies would verify the penis size and the sexual styles of hair metal bands. [00:21:04] Speaker B: Hell, yeah. [00:21:06] Speaker A: It was the scourge of. This is, like, in one of those things where, like, a band is like, these bands don't know what the Internet is, but someone's like, hey, man, apparently, according to the Internet, you're rocking. You're rocking a good old penny stack in there. How do you know that? No. And they're like, burn it down. Burn the Internet down. I think it's like, to this day, there's a lot of rock stars, like, I don't think you've ever seen the Internet because they're terrified of it. They're like, uh uh. Not looking on it, dude, first time I heard about the Internet, all I knew is that my dick is a pretty big part of it, and I'm not gonna. I will not play in this. [00:21:38] Speaker B: Imagine that's you're in twisted sister or some shit. Time. You get on the Internet, the first thing that pops up is, like, detailed information, right? [00:21:45] Speaker A: Yeah. You're dee Snider. And you're like, all right, D. Snyder, what's the Internet got to say immediately? It's like, hog, decent hog. It's fine. Bad lover, decent hog. [00:21:59] Speaker B: Verified by 15 groupies. Ah, damn it. [00:22:03] Speaker A: Okay. [00:22:03] Speaker B: I think the real question we have to ask is, we get our cleaner, right? [00:22:06] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:22:06] Speaker B: Clean. And. And we send him after Rambo, who's coming back a lot. [00:22:09] Speaker A: I think in almost every situation, it's Rambo. I I can't imagine. Rambo is almost. He's almost bulletproof, but. Okay, well, hold on, though. Mostly, Rambo goes up against people. He. His body counts high. But the, the people he faces aren't as talented. [00:22:24] Speaker B: Yeah, he faces a lot of goons. [00:22:26] Speaker A: I. Yeah, I feel like he's more goon cleaner is more about one on one. You and me. Who's the best specialist? Yeah. Yeah. Rambo really goes against that, that often. He's mostly like, oh, I got to take out an entire village to get my boys back. [00:22:41] Speaker B: Deal. [00:22:42] Speaker A: You know? Yeah. I think he has to face like one bruiser. He's got to face one big dude that he has to fight with. But after that, it's pretty much smooth sailing. [00:22:51] Speaker B: So you're saying the cleaner is going to beat him? [00:22:53] Speaker A: Well, that's kind of what I'm. Yeah. Now I'm kind of on that tip. I think a cleaner is going to go through and be able to handle this a lot because he's. He's going to scout Rambo. They're going to know all of Rambo's ins and outs. [00:23:04] Speaker B: Yeah. That's. Remember the cleaners watch tape? [00:23:07] Speaker A: Yeah. The only thing that Rambo has on you is distance. Right. That theoretically he's a good hider and got that bow and arrow skill, which. That's dangerous. Right. But at the same time, you've dealt with snipers, like, just handle it. This is what you're being paid for, you know? [00:23:25] Speaker B: Okay, let's do it this way. Let's do it this way. I know it's not the same movie and I know it's not involved, but we need to could Rambo. If, if we take Rambo and put him in the Predator universe, does he beat the predator? [00:23:34] Speaker A: See, that's tough because I almost feel like the forest. Like he gets, like both of them get bonuses in the forest. [00:23:40] Speaker B: They get bonuses in the forest. For sure. They're trained in the woods. Yeah. [00:23:43] Speaker A: So that's the thing is it's like I'd almost say, I'm just saying if. [00:23:46] Speaker B: He can beat the predator, he can beat the cleaner. [00:23:48] Speaker A: Yeah, that's true. Yeah, I think he might. [00:23:51] Speaker B: Then, yeah, I think I got to go Rambo, dude. [00:23:54] Speaker A: Yeah, I think. I guess that's the only way to do it then. I think that's the only way. All right. We will move also. I just feel like in a world where I don't think the cleaner, if it won, if it wins this, wins in the final four, but at the same time, I also don't want to look back in four years and be like, cleaner where we talking about cleaning products. Yeah. Like, what's the, who's the best person to clean up a. I don't. What is that about? So, uh, I would like to see Rambo go on. I know what that means every time I see it. So that Rambo is our group D champion, which, like we said, means the only thing left to do is put him into that final four.
