You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven one, The Freak, the Return
of the food Court. Nine o'clock Food News. We're going to try food
from a brand new spot, so we have a review. The sweetest delivery
driver of all time? Yes, scooping it up for us, so good
looking. This place doesn't even take online ordering yet. You can't get it
on door dash or Uber eats or whatever your favorite hub favor. I don't
even know if I don't know if that you walk in and get it or
if it's only drive through. I have spoiler drive through and walk in,
but you cannot dine in. Fascinating, fascinating, Yeah, that's fantastic.
Nine thirty five. We'll get into a little bit of the weird Cowboys stuff
that's going on before we get to your talkbacks, because there has been dacks
to in the news. Again, We're not gonna beat you over the head
of that contract talk, but it's a little interesting, Jerry's comments a little
interesting. And does any of that relate to the sexual assault allegations? Man,
I don't know. If you want to read into stuff, you can,
Plus the return of a Cowboys legend and Zeke maybe you're talking about it,
maybe so as maybe not. Cowboys are now the redheaded stepchild of our
four local teams because everyone else seems to be thriving again that nine thirty five.
Right now, we have no intro for this. I think we're gonna
we're gonna shoot the s. You want any do one live with his acoustic
He loves it. Oh my god, it's probably out of tune. That'd
be great. Has it ever been in tune? Is the real question.
Even when I use them a little app to get it in tune and you
hit that first chord, it's like, no, f no, it should
be an E. It's an app and somebody doesn't play guitar, It doesn't
know anything. Let me just speak for all of us. It's just kind
of annoying when you guys have to spend all this time getting the guitar in
tune before you start, and frankly, I would I'd rather not do it.
Okay, the roy industries always the always tuned guitar. I think they
do that something like that where they have the little tuners that are mechanized and
they always stay perfect, like the little knobs at the top, the neck
knobs. How about we tighten them even tighter so then over time the little
string doesn't get loose or whatever causes you need to screw around tuning it all
day instead of playing music, which is what we want, because you don't
think about these things. You need me too, because you guys are just
like, oh, what's the food? What's the food near me? It's
very surface level. Your existence is mine is complex. Kevin hit the open,
Danny sing it for him. No, no, he's got this.
This is a Kevin production. Now, no, this is Kevin. It's
a comedy, not a drama. D that we're gonna talk, go about
it. It's comedy. A little while. Believe I've got gout. Okay,
I don't have a get your guitar was out of tune? Dude,
the hell I think your life is out tune? Kevin. We watch Stepbrothers
last night at Alibu Draft House Cinema for the Let's Freaking Hill Movie series.
In fact, we will go ahead and sponsor this segment instead of the nine
o'clock segment today, we're gonna give them eight am power hour time right here
sear for Alimal Draft House Cinema. Five weeks. You can't beat it with
a stick. They're doing cool things now because it's twenty twenty four where they
are showing throughout the year of movies from the last thirty years, but in
increments of the five years. So if you want to see a move from
seventy four to seventy nine, eighty four, eighty nine, gota keep going
ninety four ninety nine four like the I was looking through some of the poster
that they had some of the movies that they were showing from those years,
and you can scan and get your times. You know, when you're go
very cool. Alma Draft House is awesome. That's where you should watch your
movies. And Mike's offer still stands. If you ever see him in a
theater that's not Alamo Draft House, you have permission to knock him right in
the penis. Punch me in the penis, no words. If you want
to even talk afterward, If you're like, hey, I like your show,
or you want to chat after you want to talk golf, that's fine.
Well you're but doubled over like Luca and the Pain after getting in se
in a non album. You punched me in the penis. Thank you.
If you don't want to say a word. Yeah, thank you, thanks
for listening. Oh god, hey, all show is kind of funny,
okay, or if you don't say anything that's fair, I'll never got the
email for them. Them fleet tickets one one digs okay, don't more Creed
tickets later in the week. We haven't given any away yet, so I
said, there's all of them. So Stepbrothers was our movie of choice now
last the first time we did. We did Acventure a Pet Detective to kick
off football season because they were a good, good movie. But did Office
Christmas Party in December because of Christmas, yes, you know, and Been
and Skin and the Downbeat to have their movie of the month. I think
Ben and Skin they've been table talking on the air. Mcgruber. Uh.
They did great choice Bottle Rocket last time, which is so yeah. I
think the mcgroober is what they want. We'll see if they have it.
I think Speakeasy to Demolition Man last time. So we were like, let's
just go. We were table talk to five to ten movies, but we
all landed on like, let's just go right here, and it might sound
a little mainstream and right down the middle of a lie, let's go Step
Brothers and we did it, and we kind of I know, for me,
I had abstained from watching it, flipping through catch it a few times
on Comedy Central, or yeah, but you don't get all the cussies.
Yeah, we got the full sin Step Brothers. Its eighty percent of it
was new to me basically, you know, I knew the main parts.
I knew Derek singing and balls on the drum kit, I knew like a
handful, but eighty percent of it. I was like, I didn't remember
this at all. As funny as hell. We were all sitting by each
other, Dude, Danny and I laughed the whole Christina was dying laughing at
maybe the most inappropriate line in the entire movie. Yeah, which is that
what the head pops up? Yeah, Derek pops up into the treehouse.
What's up? I think that got the biggest laugh of the entire night.
Is a very simple, shocking Tom Brenneman movie. Comedy is shocking sometimes say
things that are not appropriate. And it was two thousand and eight, you
know, it was a different you know, I don't know. I don't
know, man, you know what I forgot? Hopefully they are delivery drivers
in the store, just how hot Mary steen Urgeon is. Yeah? Hold,
he was she when was filmed, like mid fifties, sixty Yeah,
mid fifties, fifties. Maybe they're always younger than I think. She's seventy
one now, that came out when wait, I believe so years ago.
Yep, that's crazy, which makes sense if Will Ferrell was forty one at
the time. Yeah. Do you think any chance a woman that looks like
that would just barely know the name of someone looks like Richard Jenkins and just
have immediate passionate sects with them like that in the movie. Okay, it
was on a deeper level. Their love was on a deeper level than just
they're distracted by her breast because he's given the keynote speech at a big conference.
Hearing aid coming and he goes, yes, and can I just bury
my face in your breast? I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. What before
you were asking the question earlier? Did step brothers hold up? It held
up more than better than I expect. Absolutely did. I laughed the entire
hour and a half or whatever. You don't go more than thirty seconds without
cracking up. It's just so stupid. I could how much fun must this
have been to sit around with your knucklehead buddies and just write jokes for that
damn movie. And like Kevin said, they did the outline in what a
few days, five days in one of Will Ferrell's guest houses after they were
promised air conditioning for this movie. I mentioned in Night I love movies that
have no point like it all culminates at the Catalina wine mixer, right yeah,
And it's like we haven't even mentioned they didn'tvention the Calai wine mixer until
ten minutes left to go in the movie. Well, they needed to figure
out how to wrap it up right exactly. So they go to the thing
and now Dale is in charge of it and it's going well, everything's fine
until the all only nineties Billy Joel band continues to get requests from the Stranger
and from albums in the seventies, and they get so mad they get in
a fight and dragged off stage. And now the in a While mixture is
ruined. We're not selling any helicopters. Why because that band is no longer
playing, right, we have a disaster on our hands. And and Dale
and run by what led by Horatio saying and he's tried not to fight.
No, we're only nineties, Joel, We're early eighties, Joel bro and
the guy kept yelling and then it's a disaster. And then Dale and Wally
have to get on the drums and sing, and they do, and they
play what Time to Say Goodbye? Yes, which is just it's beautiful.
It'll make you cry. I think I welled up with tears. I cried
that the damn Oscars when they sang it or whatever that was. It was
Oscars right right, But that was Butchlly singing a jale. But Dale,
even Dale doing it was great. And then by him singing the song doesn't
have the voice of an angel, he touched everyone. And they ended up
selling enough helicopters, like a ton of helicopters for Derek to make his nune.
And that's the climax, like that's what had to happen to be,
like God, damn it. Because they were so successful at at the Catalina
fing wine Mixer and Derek sold a bunch of helicopters and enabled them to start
their own karaoke business. Yes, carry rock'n' roll like Rocky Carry Rocky.
Yeah, there's no point to the whole movie. Well, okay,
so I've turned my brain off going this actually could be an interesting commentary on
bullying, because if you look at Dell and Brennan, a part of how
they got to where they were in their forties living at home with their single
parent is a divorce situation or b they're two instance of bullying. Brennan has
a man Jina when he's doing the high school class school was chanting it,
including his parents he's younger, and then parents, and then for John c
Riley, it's just getting picked on by Chris Gardaki and the other kids at
the elementary school or the junior high school. It's like, okay, so
I'm trying to turn my brain off and go no, no, stop thinking
that there's a deeper meaning to this movie. This is just it's an avant
vehicle for silly jokes and it's so great. And the people who at the
time were not known though Adam Scott and Catherine Hahn are just perfect almost scene
stealers. Well, if John if will Ferre and John c Riley weren't so
gd great, yeah, they would be. They would have stolen the movie.
Brilliant, brilliant strategy to bring those characters in when they did, because
you kind of get to a point where you've got your two you know,
your two stars, which is Riley and Ferrell, and they get up to
about maybe a third of the way forty percent through the film, and you
feel like, if something didn't change, that was going to run its course.
And then they introduced Derek and d Man is involved, and then his
wife is involved, and it just takes it up a notch. And then
you get a little burst of a boost of quick energy from Rob Wriggles scene.
You know, so you start bringing in these funny people to kind of
help help the movie kind of cross the finish line. And then when when
then, when you know Ferrell and Riley end up doing something again, it
kind of gives it a little more, makes it a little Uh, you
kind of missed it a little bit movie. I don't know. It's just
a really well strategized comedy. It's really dumb and not too long. But
what an hour and thirty five hour and forty Maybe I had it going into
it, and maybe one I had it going into it as my second favorite
movie of all time, all right, and I don't no movie or comedy
movie. Okay, that's wild. Why that's so wild about it? I
only like comedies plus number one private Management, Billy Madison, I have it
Benjamin, Billy Madison, but there's there's childhood like Billy Madison Place of Soldier.
Yeah, oh, never saw it. Figure that was number one on
all of our I've never seen it, not at all. Oh well,
excuse me, I didn't. I'm just laughing at the reference. And Billy
Madison is the the movie were when I'm six years old, you're first understanding
the joke sixty nine, you know. So it's like that's got a special
place in your heart that never goes away. I do think Step Brothers is
number two, and I think it stays there, locked in at number two.
It did not drop, and I have more appreciation for it than I
ever did after seeing it again in fold, not on cable, in the
theater at Alamo Beautiful, I mean, and everyone was like, everyone,
that was a great choice that y'all didn't y'all nailed it. And I was
like, yes, we did direct the movie the whole Yeah, they were
thanking us for the movie. That was weird and you're welcome. The whole
theater was laughing the whole time. Yeah, you know, we forgot to
ask in our hilarious pre movie speech. I mean we did a tight ten
minute set. Jesus, they were laughing harder at that than anything. Yeah,
look at I mean we were hot. The crowd saying Felice Navidad and
Danny for his birthday. Yeah, I mean, like two line. Well,
that's all anyone knows. That's true. But I wanted you to ask
if anyone in that theater was seeing this movie for the first time. I
forgot, Yeah I didn't. I saved you that your online and you didn't
use it, so I still wonder that. But yeah, great theater laughed
the whole time. Fun night, Yeah, beautiful. And I was discussing
this JJ. We're gonna save your movies for probably tomorrow, okay, because
we're not gonna have time unless we do have time later in the show,
because I do. We're discussing earl, like, what's the greatest comedy ever?
Tons of texts coming in, Yeah, phones lighting up, all that
stuff. Probably who's our baseline list from that? This is where we were
kind of searching, and the problem kept becoming, well, there's a lot
of different lists on this and a lot of times they're trying to reference movies
like Tutsie or something from like nineteen fifty nine, something like it. Hot
Danny found something on movie Web that is pretty close and I think it's like
close enough have to at least use as a as a guy. It represented
all of the great comedies that started at the turn of the century. Okay,
the last twenty four years, which may be the best way to go.
And you know, we've talked about before how comedy movies have kind of
died over the last fifteen years. It's rebably seemed like do you I wass
want to fire away at a guess at number one? Here the hangover?
No, No, how many? This actually goes to the nineties on number
one. Oh, it's a little deeper. You start getting into something about
Mary. Yeah, forty year old virgin I'll take those two. Uh,
well, number that's not those were not in the top five, neither one
of those. How many do you have forty forty of them on there?
And okay? Number one is nineteen ninety three? Well, okay, and
it was Bill Murray. Do I remember Groundhog Days? Mean ground hauled?
Funny? Funny, funny I think it's kind of good, yeah, or
classic than yeah, classic clever, it's more clever. When I think of
comedies, I don't necessarily don't. They don't have to be clever, like
there was there anything clever about Yesterday. No, it's about absurdity, it's
silly, it's timing, all right. Uh. Tropic thunder Tropic thunder boy,
that's a good one. A lot of people are texting that one in
mm hm. We should probably consider that one next time because people love that
movie. No, don't see traffic thunder on there man, laugh out loud
gags per minute. I'd have being a little bit older than you, Mikey,
and a lot older than you, Kevin. I think this type of
insane comedy started with Airplane. And I've seen a few of these lists,
and airplanes way high up on most of them. That's probably my favorite.
If I have to go to this type of film, silly, absurd comedy.
Yeah, and then maybe something like Life of Brian. Yeah, History
of the World Part one, Holy Grail. You start getting into the Christopher
guest vehicles like spinal tap, Yeah, Guffman, hold Girl was six,
Holy was forty on here. Okay, but you know to like School of
Rock was eight. Yeah, School of Rock is hilarious. Anchorman was nine
on their Bridesmaids. There you go, let's see nineteen. Yeah, ibout
the jerk, Yes, the jerk did not make it. Did not make
it. Austin Powers number eleven there, Yeah, you know I think of
I keep super Bad as one I always go back to. Yeah, that's
the Saddles. Yes, the Saddles always gets love on these types of lists.
And then sixteen and then the you know all the Richard Pryor stuff stir
crazy is hilarious. Yeah, and you stud the Chevy Chase vehicles like vacation
and Caddy Shack and seems like old times with God who was the oh my
God, Goldie Hawn and Yan Yang Yan Yang other people romains, No ben
Stein, has it been thy all those two thousands, like there's a run
Talladegan Night's forty year old version super Bad Knocked Up is three amigos on there.
Three amigos is great, boy. I might not get support, but
three amigos I would throw in for the next So it did not make it
so silly. It didn't make it. No, what's the one you just
said would be good for next time, traffic Thunder, Traffic thunder, Okay,
A Lot of Space is twenty four, yes, ver, Shrek is
twenty five. Shrek is great. They have Napoleon Dynamite on there. Oh
good, Yes, that was a lot of the lists. Now I didn't
see it. You know what movie I still kind of keep coming back to
is one I Forgetting Sarah Marshall will always get a lot of love from a
lot of people. I really like I Love You Man, the Paul rud
Jason Siegeal movie that one, and watched that recently on cable and I was
like, Jesus, that's hilarious. Yeah, And the last couple of times
I watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I kind of went, it's good, but
not like I Love You Man movie, laugh way harder, It's all time
and place to you mentioned Napoleon Dynamite. I remember when that came out.
I didn't know if it was the funniest movie I've ever seen, but I
remember thinking, this is the funniest movie I've seen in a very long time,
and the fact that it was so weird and unique and it didn't seem
like a cookie cutter comedy it was different. It kind of elevated it.
To me. I loved that movie when it was first out. Napoleon Dynamite.
Yeah, great, very unique about Borat three on this list. Borat,
I'm mostly reading text, so just I don't want you to think I'm
getting credit for this. No, it's all good. Well, we we're
out of time now too. That was cool, man said the English patient.
Okay, that's a good bit the list. How many Shindler's List requests
that we had? Wedding crashers, hot Boy, hot rd no, hot
fuzz fun Come on, Well, Danny's going to do a zero risk spot,
guys, but he's also got the Morning News coming up. Next to
Morning News, the next thirty minutes are all about me, and we're gonna
make it all about you by talking about this in Dingha's Morning News. Because
the first human being to receive a neuralink brain implant had it installed. Was
it successful? We'll find out next
