It's the world famous Ben and Skin show. 2 00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:05.799 Before we get going here, did you guys have a 3 00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:06.360 good weekend? 4 00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:08.080 It was incredible. 5 00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:11.039 Really, No, no, now that I look back on it, 6 00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:12.919 it was. It was a pretty average weekend. You didn't 7 00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:15.199 have a lot of free time. I haven't had free 8 00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:18.800 time in a long time. So I had some free 9 00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:22.519 time Friday night. Okay, after driving back from Oklahoma? 10 00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:26.359 Right, what'd you do? I don't even remember. 11 00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:29.000 Oh no, I do, I do we I had a 12 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.600 couple of beers, and I watched the Lakers and the Clippers. Okay, 13 00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:35.439 I watched that game too, Katie. You're not able to 14 00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:36.439 watch Laker games, are you. 15 00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:39.479 That's not a recreational activity for me. It is for me. 16 00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:41.119 I actually am enjoying it. 17 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.479 I think this is the most non MAVs games I've 18 00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:48.119 ever seen. Like I'm wondering, like I don't. I'm not 19 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.399 a fan of the NBA. I ca oh, look, the 20 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.200 Bucks are playing the Hornets. I'll sit down and watch 21 00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:53.960 this for three hours. 22 00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:54.479 That's not me. 23 00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:59.240 But I do find myself following Luca out to the 24 00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:02.240 West Coast, and I love watching him and Lebron play. Yeah, man, 25 00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:05.120 I think They're a fun team to watch because they've 26 00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:08.680 got my other guy, Austin Reeves, who is a baldon. 27 00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:12.879 This bit. Have y'all know you've seen him play. Austin 28 00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:16.680 is actually really cool. You've watched him play the last 29 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:20.200 few weeks. He's awesome for into the Rocks. It's like, 30 00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:23.480 is uh is your podcast on the MAHLF channel making 31 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.159 him do this? No? This is okay, this. 32 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:30.480 Is I So I watch a lot. I'm not breaking 33 00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:32.640 news to anybody. I watch a lot of NBA. I 34 00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:34.400 really enjoy watching Austin Reeds. 35 00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:36.359 You know, but your talented mister Ripley bit. 36 00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.840 It is guys seen that. How did we not get 37 00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:41.719 him in that trade? Because it would have been nice. 38 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.120 We could have had him thrown in. Uh, he's not 39 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.040 a throw in. Yeah, they and and actually, I mean, honestly, 40 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:48.519 you can go back and look. For the last two years, 41 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:50.079 teams have been trying to get Austin Reeve from the 42 00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:52.000 Lakers and they're not coming off. There was still room 43 00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:53.799 for them to throw him in. There was room for 44 00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.319 them to throw a lot of things in. But I 45 00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:02.000 feel so much I would feel so much better. But okay, 46 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:05.760 So I ended up watching another Laker. I watched that game, 47 00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:07.640 and then I went back and watched it again. They 48 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.120 played the Clippers again, right, so last night, I think 49 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:12.599 last night, so I got up and watched that this morning. 50 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:16.039 Yep, we getting a shot back. He looks. I mean, 51 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:17.520 they've got him listed at two thirty. 52 00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:17.680 Now. 53 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:19.360 I don't know if he's lost forty pounds, but he 54 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:21.879 think that's happen. He's looking slim, he looks good. He 55 00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:24.319 looks really good. You know, It's just it takes it. 56 00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:26.520 By the time they get to the playoffs, it'll be 57 00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:29.639 his team, but it just takes a while, Like you 58 00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.199 don't just come in and go all right, Lebron, it's 59 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.639 my team. Now, I'm coming off an injury, but that'll 60 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:37.639 happen naturally over the next couple weeks and then by 61 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:39.360 the time they're the number two seed. 62 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:45.039 I feel like an accepting eighties dad of homosexuality when 63 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.439 it comes to other people watching the Lakers. Okay, tell me, 64 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:50.639 I don't understand it, but it doesn't bother me that 65 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.479 you do it. I just don't understand how you do. Okay, well, 66 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.000 let's talk through it. Dad. 67 00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:01.360 So I fell in love with Luca, and so I 68 00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.240 love Luca the player. Now, if Luca had demanded a trade, 69 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:06.240 I would hate him, But he did not. 70 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:06.800 He didn't. 71 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:08.759 He lost one hundred and ten million dollars in that trade. 72 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:10.400 He never wanted to leave it. He was sad for 73 00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:13.479 about three weeks. And so I'm like, dude, I'm a 74 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:15.319 Luca fan. I can't just turn it off all of 75 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.560 a sudden because he's wearing a different jersey. Okay, do 76 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:22.000 you understand what's happening here? The whole Luca It wasn't 77 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:25.039 Luca's choice. Is the whole thing with the dad in 78 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:28.479 the eighties saying I guess God made him that way. 79 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.039 Right, right? 80 00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:35.400 Yeah, But it's like, uh, and by the way, you're 81 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:37.439 not the only one. There's a few other people in 82 00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.240 my life who were that way. And I've I've just 83 00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:44.479 it's almost like you're like driving and peering into Luca's 84 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.400 house when he's with his new love. I know it's 85 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:48.759 another guy out by the tree, just kind of watching it. 86 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.240 And what do you talk about he's playing on television? 87 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:53.120 Happen is this like? 88 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.159 And what kind of love is it? Because I'm confused 89 00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:58.400 by your comparison. Are you peeking in on gay love? Dude, 90 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.759 if Luca and the MAVs are simultaneously, I'm switching back 91 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:05.520 and forth. That's I'm going back. I love them both. 92 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.080 I love It's. To me, it's two Christmases. Mam and 93 00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.319 Dad got a divorce again. I'm not judging you. I 94 00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.680 just don't understand it. For me, I couldn't. You couldn't 95 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:14.400 enjoy Luca. 96 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:19.160 The Lakers. Oh, okay, it's a big because, big problem 97 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:20.160 the Lakers. 98 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:21.959 Because of the history of the Lakers, or because history 99 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:26.600 of Lebron. Okay, the Lebron thing. Dude, at forty or 100 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.240 whoever old, he is playing as good a basketball as 101 00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.000 he did, and maybe better than his last MVP or 102 00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:33.839 whatever in twenty twelve, twenty thirteen. I don't know if 103 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:35.959 those last one I just saw those two years compared 104 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:37.000 his numbers. 105 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:37.920 Are better at forty. 106 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:40.279 I don't let me just let me just go on 107 00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:46.199 record here. I don't understand Lebron hate. I mean, we 108 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.360 all have things that we hate for whatever reason we 109 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.240 hate it. But I'm like, all right, let's take a 110 00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:54.480 step back and look at the entirety of what this 111 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:59.040 human has done. He is probably for sure in basketball 112 00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.160 until Wemby, the most hyped athlete of all time. He 113 00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:05.680 was on the cover of Sports Illustrated at seventeen. He 114 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:12.360 was the chosen one. He has exceeded all reasonable expectations 115 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:14.839 for being the most hyped play ever ever. 116 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:15.839 He smashed him. 117 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.800 He's setting every wet record, and he's one of the 118 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:23.519 ten best players in the league in his forties, and 119 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:28.279 he's turned himself into a billionaire. He's never been involved 120 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.800 in a scandal, at least one that he's been caught for, 121 00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.920 So like, I don't who's hating him? Oh man, I 122 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:36.920 get people all the time, like I just can't stand 123 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:38.920 that Lebron. I see a lot of it, and I 124 00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.639 see a lot of it. Now, could it be Dwayne 125 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.480 Wade hate that spilled over because of the coughing incident? 126 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.800 Or could it be the I'm taking my talents? 127 00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:50.879 Obviously he's aware, you know, the whole I don't want 128 00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:52.920 to be the face the NBA, but I'll take Jordan's number. 129 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:53.480 Yeah. 130 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:56.720 And but even that, like that whole thing becoming about 131 00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.000 Steven A. Smith is nauseating. Yeah, Like Steven A. Smith 132 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.720 made that about him and it's just gross. I mean, 133 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.000 I get it. It's where it sucks. I mean I 134 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:08.079 try so hard not to watch wrestling, and it just 135 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:08.560 finds me. 136 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.959 Dude, wrestling had a big weekend.

Right. 192 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:17.720 As I was getting ready to, uh, you know, rolling 193 00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:19.879 in the studio, I was riding up in the elevator 194 00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:22.799 looking at social media, and I saw that Jimmy Johnson 195 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:27.200 is retiring from Fox Sports after thirty one years. Oh, 196 00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:30.200 Jimmy is leaving out? Have we confirmed that he's gone 197 00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:31.919 as of now? Like he will not be there for 198 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:32.679 this next season. 199 00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:35.600 That's what it looks like. That's what the press release 200 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:37.600 kind of made it seem like, Oh, there's a press 201 00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:38.120 release for that. 202 00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:40.879 Yeah, they press release, okay, because all I saw was 203 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.679 just a story of him being on Cowered, and the 204 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.039 quotes I read it made it sound like he wasn't 205 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:47.720 going to be doing it anymore. But I didn't see 206 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:48.440 anything official. 207 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:51.559 Yeah, announcing your retirement on Colin Cowhard is like celebrating 208 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:55.120 your birthday party at the landfill. It's not like the 209 00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:59.679 greatest place to do something anything. Really that experienced last Friday, 210 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:01.480 scar or do you have no? No, it was a 211 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:04.360 great time. Okay, No, I know. I'm proud of myself. 212 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:05.679 Oh I was wonderful. 213 00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:11.000 Well, good work landfill turner the great that's it. And 214 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:14.399 that's the name of the new Taylor Sheridan show land 215 00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:18.399 Hill landfill man. Just Kevin standing out there, let the 216 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:19.960 Melissa Landfill looking. 217 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:21.960 Around strong out their world. You need help it on 218 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.399 that table, Okay, So there you do. 219 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:27.360 You know, everything in the world that I look at 220 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:29.120 right now, I look at through the Luca lens. 221 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:31.120 I can't help it. Yeah, you gotta get off that. 222 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:31.840 You can't help it. 223 00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:34.919 I just still can't believe that we traded Luca, and 224 00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:37.200 so I'm still trying to just work through all of 225 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.320 the aftershocks of that. But I you know, I'm wondering 226 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.559 what to compare it to. Like initially, I was like, 227 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:47.559 this is as bad as the Jimmy Jerry divorce, right, 228 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:51.679 like it's that magnitude. So to me, it's a little 229 00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:55.000 bit more like it's I understand the comparison. To me, 230 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.279 it's a little bit more like Jerry getting rid of 231 00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:57.960 Tom Landry. 232 00:10:58.039 --> 00:10:59.600 I don't think we'd get rid of Jimmy was a 233 00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:03.159 bad thing until like ten years after. Right, Well, it's 234 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:04.279 just that moment, did we know. 235 00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:07.240 Well, yeah, you're right, it's just that it's been uh 236 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:09.919 and you're right, that's a fair point to make. I 237 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.960 just think, is that a curse that we're about to 238 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:13.600 embark upon? 239 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:15.039 You know what I mean? Like I said, a thirty 240 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:15.600 year curse? 241 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:17.519 Right, But that's unfair to look at it through that 242 00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:19.600 lens now, because this may end up working out. 243 00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:19.799 You know. 244 00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.639 It's interesting about your curse theory, yep, is if the 245 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:25.679 Mavericks were to win a championship, it'd probably be in 246 00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:27.759 the next two years, right. And they did win a 247 00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:31.320 Super Bowl with Switzerland, that's right, Sure, hell did, Okay, 248 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:33.720 soich I couldn't even enjoy that Super Bowl without Jimmy 249 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:34.360 being there. 250 00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:37.240 Right me? I hated it, but I had no fun 251 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:38.080 having that parade. 252 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:44.039 That's irrational emotions speaking in me, like, because look, we 253 00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:46.320 were not there yet. But I am looking Christy, I 254 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:47.759 think you're probably looking at a lot of things. So 255 00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:49.200 that do you How often do you think about the 256 00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:50.879 Luca trade way more often? 257 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:51.000 Now? 258 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.360 I would like, I'm wrestling. I'm watching wrestling now, Ben, 259 00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:54.519 just to get my mind off of it. 260 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:57.759 Right, what if Luca comes walking into the wrestling ring, 261 00:11:57.799 --> 00:11:58.240 what would you do? 262 00:11:58.519 --> 00:11:59.080 He could? 263 00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:01.720 There have been sports guys just walking into the ring 264 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:06.759 doing things. So, Yeah, and I try to watch Lakers. 265 00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:09.720 Like Katie said earlier, he doesn't understand. And I'm kind 266 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:11.720 of on both of y'all sides on that one because 267 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:13.559 I will try to watch it because I love Luca. 268 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.440 I want to still watch him play. But then I 269 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:18.799 can only get through maybe one two quarters and I 270 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:20.600 have to turn it off. Yeah, it makes me two sacks. 271 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:22.679 It's not that hard for me to watch these regular 272 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:25.639 season games, but as I'm watching them, I am thinking 273 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.960 about what the playoffs are going to be like, because usually, 274 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:32.120 you know, the only team I ever root for is 275 00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:35.240 the Mavericks. And then I start developing rooting interests during 276 00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.960 any playoffs Baseball, NFL. As stories unfold, they become interesting 277 00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:42.960 to me. And so as I'm watching, you know, Luca 278 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.440 play and I was thinking about the playoffs. I'm like, man, 279 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:50.679 that's gonna be really weird because I've never, for any reason, ever, 280 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.200 under any circumstance, rooted for the Lakers at any moment ever. 281 00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:57.600 But when you're in the playoffs, if I'm rooting for Luca, 282 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:01.360 I will be ostensibly rooting for the Lakers. And I 283 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.960 was sitting there watching these games thinking about going. I 284 00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.840 don't know how I'm gonna feel when that's happening, right, 285 00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.440 it's gonna be what if they play each other? Oh yeah, well, 286 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:11.759 if they play each other, then I'm simply sorry. I'm 287 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:13.919 gonna have to root for Luca to fail. But like, 288 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.000 I'll give an example. I love rooting for Steph Curry 289 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:21.679 during the playoffs because of the way he plays and 290 00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:24.440 the style and all that. I've never had any I'm 291 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:27.440 not like some big Warriors fan, but once those series 292 00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:30.600 get going, I find myself rooting for him because Steph 293 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:34.080 is just irresistible in that way. So for Jimmy, like 294 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:37.360 he has lived a great life. I mean, what a 295 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:40.039 great career choice to go into television. I can't believe 296 00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:43.360 it's been thirty one years. All that TV money, he 297 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.279 doesn't have to work year round. He flies in like 298 00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:50.679 he just flies in, flies out. He's boat man, god drinking, 299 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:53.039 Heinekens on a boat. He did it right Florida and 300 00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:56.480 fishes for marlins. What do you guys think he makes 301 00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:57.279 per year? 302 00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:59.320 Like a million or more? Oh, I was gonna say 303 00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:04.480 five or six? Oh my god, he offers nothing in 304 00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:06.480 the last five to ten years, he's offered nothing. 305 00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:09.639 Yeah, oh, I agree, and I think honestly, like, I 306 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:11.720 bet the Fox people are pumping their fists. 307 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:13.440 Yeah, because it's hard to get rid of it. 308 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:15.399 I mean, they got a lot of old guys sitting 309 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.519 around making that show suck. They may have squeezed him 310 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:20.480 out too. They may have been wanting to renegotiate. He's like, 311 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:21.679 I'm not going to do it for that, So that 312 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:23.720 may have led to this. But right, there's so many 313 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:27.000 people nobody has time to make any big points. 314 00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:30.120 Now, we got nine people out on the sets like what. 315 00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:32.519 Yeah, the football, the football takes it to a new 316 00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:34.919 level of ridiculousness. 317 00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:35.679 The football. 318 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.759 Yeah, there's there's six guys and they just drunk. 319 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:42.320 I mean, it's it's uh to Terry Branshaw. 320 00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:46.039 Seriously, man, good lord, all right, coming up next, let's 321 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:47.279 turn our attention to Hollywood. 322 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:48.840 Let's go to the Hollywood Shuffle.

That was kind 368 00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:16.079 of But also, with ten minutes left in Anora is 369 00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.799 when I found out Luca got traded. So you know, 370 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:20.720 when your phone's blowing up with ten minutes left in 371 00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:23.599 a movie, you might think differently, what a weird plot 372 00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:25.519 twist at the end of a movie for Luca to 373 00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:28.359 get traded? So you met. I was like, did that 374 00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:30.799 affect how I felt about this movie? I don't think 375 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.519 it did. It's good and fun. I'll tell you that 376 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:34.359 it's good and fun. 377 00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:36.720 It was one of the nine movies that I didn't 378 00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:38.519 see that got nominated for Best Picture. 379 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:40.559 I was kind of my I ended up watching six 380 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:41.319 of them this year. 381 00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:41.839 Yeah. 382 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:43.599 I don't think I've seen any of them really, except 383 00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:45.400 the Demi Moore one, right or no? That one's for 384 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.680 Best Picture. On the subject was it was for Best Picture? God, 385 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:51.400 that's terrible. It was seen as the worst like ten 386 00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:52.839 ten out of at the last place. 387 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:55.279 You know what happened, dude, here's what happened. So I 388 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.319 can't remember if it was seven or eight years ago. 389 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:00.480 There was always arguments about movies that got left off 390 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:03.559 for Best Picture, so they expanded it from five to ten. 391 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:08.160 And then the movie distribution business changed, and now they 392 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.880 can't come up with ten that are really deserving of it, right, 393 00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:13.400 Like I thought watching that to me More movie, the 394 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:15.400 first half of it was really good, but I thought 395 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:18.640 the second half was maybe as bad as any movie ever. 396 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:21.559 Made about a noura. Honestly, you guys, the first half 397 00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:22.359 of Honora's great. 398 00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:24.319 If you guys want to be bored out of your mind, 399 00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:25.400 you need to see Baby Girl. 400 00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:27.519 It sucked. I did not want to be bored out 401 00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:33.119
