Speaker 1: Bank member fdi S. Steven Presley from a thunder Pop
Speaker 1: TV joins us. Find him on YouTube and on Instagram,
Speaker 1: and he has a hypothetical question for us about a
Speaker 1: couple of actors and who we would rather get into
Speaker 1: a fight with that's coming up. And he's offered ten
Speaker 1: million dollars I think, wasn't that right, Trisha?
Speaker 2: Yeah, ten million.
Speaker 3: I'll do it. I don't even know who it is
Speaker 3: or what it is. I'll do it.
Speaker 1: So we'll see who they are in just a second. First,
Speaker 1: let's start out with walking Phoenix is in the news
Speaker 1: and kind of has a reputation that he's living up
Speaker 1: to with some behavior recently.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, he's always been kind of wild card,
Speaker 4: very very talented obviously and decorated actor for some of
Speaker 4: his roles. But he was set to star in this
Speaker 4: movie in five days before production backs out gets cold feet.
Speaker 4: They were all set to film in Guadalajara, Mexico, which
Speaker 4: I'm sure is not easy place to get to set
Speaker 4: up for a movie production. And what really adds salt
Speaker 4: to the wound is he actually went to this production
Speaker 4: company and pitched the idea and sold them on the
Speaker 4: idea of this particular story and making it into a movie.
Speaker 3: And then he's the one who backed out. And then
Speaker 3: he backed out. It's weird.
Speaker 2: Did he give a reason or just wasn't it wasn't
Speaker 2: into it or you.
Speaker 4: Know, it was to play it was it was to
Speaker 4: play someone's gay lover. And so speculation is that he
Speaker 4: had cold feet because being that he's straight, he might
Speaker 4: have had cold feet about doing this role. But I mean,
Speaker 4: I don't think I think people, you know, walking people
Speaker 4: are used to Walking Phoenix playing unique roles, right, and
Speaker 4: I don't think they would have been, you know, surprised
Speaker 4: to see him do something of this caliber. And I
Speaker 4: think he probably would have knocked it out of the park,
Speaker 4: probably would have gotten nominated for an Oscar, won all
Speaker 4: the awards for doing it.
Speaker 5: Right, And if he's the one who pitched it and
Speaker 5: got it going, did they throw a surprise ending in
Speaker 5: on him?
Speaker 3: I just don't.
Speaker 5: That's It's not like you didn't know that's was part
Speaker 5: of the role at the beginning. That's very strange.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he pitched the idea.
Speaker 1: I haven't haven't we all Haven't we all like done
Speaker 1: something that we thought was a really good idea and
Speaker 1: then we did it and it was a really bad idea.
Speaker 2: Haven't we all done that?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I mean five days before they were supposed to start filming,
Speaker 5: all these people had gone to Guadalajara, Mexico and set
Speaker 5: up all this stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean that's a big never mind.
Speaker 1: I don't have a margarita and hang out in Guadalajara.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you know, I don't know. It's a
Speaker 1: lot of expense. I'm sure there'll be a lawsuit somewhere
Speaker 1: for this.
Speaker 3: Ye seven figures? Yes, wow, us on it.
Speaker 2: That's tough to stugg Just do the movie. Just kiss
Speaker 2: the guy.
Speaker 3: Kiss the guy.
Speaker 4: Got this far with it. I wondered if he's there's
Speaker 4: I speculated maybe if he was worried about blowback, because
Speaker 4: nowadays it's become less cool for straight people to play
Speaker 4: a gay character. You know a lot of people want
Speaker 4: gay character to play gay character, and yeah, blowback, true.
Speaker 2: Let's true. Tell.
Speaker 1: There's a great piece in Bill Maher's book about casting
Speaker 1: in Hollywood and how ridiculous it's gotten with like certain
Speaker 1: people of ethnic groups are only allowed to play the
Speaker 1: character and that type of thing. And he makes a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of examples of how these movies would have
Speaker 1: never been done by these great actors and actresses if
Speaker 1: those rules applied. And of course I don't have it
Speaker 1: right in front of me right now, but that's a
Speaker 1: great read if you haven't picked it up.
Speaker 2: Let's move along to Yeah, what's going on with her?
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, And you know this, the huge controversy
Speaker 4: around the film It Ends with Us, has been circulating
Speaker 4: online now for a few for two or three weeks,
Speaker 4: and she's in a feud, or at least alleged feud
Speaker 4: with the director and also some of the other casts
Speaker 4: involved in the feud apparently too, Justin Baldoni, who's also
Speaker 4: her co star in this film, and he directed the film,
Speaker 4: produced it. It was based off of really popular book
Speaker 4: apparently that went viral on TikTok.
Speaker 3: That's about domestic abuse.
Speaker 4: Anyway, the controversies that they've been in, they they've they're
Speaker 4: not they're not on good terms, and this was sparked
Speaker 4: or the sluice online started to get suspicious when they
Speaker 4: had the premiere and he did not appear with the
Speaker 4: rest of the cast during the Q and A, and
Speaker 4: also during red carpet photos he was the only one excluded.
Speaker 4: He did take photos, but by himself, away from the
Speaker 4: rest of the cast. And then a week or two later,
Speaker 4: when all the bad press was coming out and everybody
Speaker 4: was blaming, blaming just In Baldoni for this feud, saying
Speaker 4: that it was his alleged toxic behavior on the set
Speaker 4: that was causing the feud. He goes out and hires
Speaker 4: a PR team, and then I don't know if it's
Speaker 4: a coincidence, Probably maybe a coincidence, But suddenly all this
Speaker 4: bad press started coming out for Blake Lively and all
Speaker 4: these videos that were dug up from the past where
Speaker 4: she was being allegedly uh diva during interviews and.
Speaker 3: Snotty snotty to the audios.
Speaker 4: Did his PR team dig this stuff up and circulate
Speaker 4: this online?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm thinking out loud.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I guess they did.
Speaker 5: I feel like a one hundred percent agreed that they did,
Speaker 5: because they're all interviews from three, four or five, six
Speaker 5: years ago, was nothing recent.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that that if she was that way
Speaker 3: with the interviewer, that's okay.
Speaker 2: But I.
Speaker 3: Bet his pr ten did it.
Speaker 2: Oh, I love dirty stuff like I love it.
Speaker 5: I heard that she The problem between the two of
Speaker 5: them happened when he, the director, was lost control of
Speaker 5: the movie to her that she was stepping in and
Speaker 5: making decisions without consulting him. He chew up on set
Speaker 5: and everything was changed from what he had said to
Speaker 5: do because Blake said to do this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's interesting. And then also either the premiere you
Speaker 4: had Ryan, Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Hackman show up like
Speaker 4: they're still promoting the Deadpool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that could be a lot.
Speaker 3: Well, there are two movies. Ryan's movie and Blake.
Speaker 5: Lively's movie went head to head husband and wife duo
Speaker 5: head to head, and her movie did very well in
Speaker 5: the opening weekend. I'll definitely see it. She just is
Speaker 5: always I think it's a lot because of him. He's
Speaker 5: such a good guy and he's so nice and so funny.
Speaker 5: So I think that you automatically attributes some of that
Speaker 5: to her. But I've never heard a single bad word
Speaker 5: about her until all of this, And it makes me
Speaker 5: sad because they're kind of that golden couple that they
Speaker 5: give each other a hard time on social media, you know.
Speaker 1: A little smudge on the So, who are these two
Speaker 1: characters that you want us to fight?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, okay, So we talked a few weeks ago.
Speaker 4: We were on with We were on with JB. We
Speaker 4: we were talking about the new mockbuster concept in movies,
Speaker 4: which are like the cocaine bearing Shark Nato.
Speaker 3: And Shark Nato.
Speaker 4: So there's gonna be a meth Gator movie, which we
Speaker 4: talked about as well as coming up. So, if you
Speaker 4: had to fight either the cocaine bear or meth Gator
Speaker 4: for ten million dollars, which one are you all taking?
Speaker 1: I'm going, by the way, Stephen Presley from at thunder
Speaker 1: Pop TV fight him on Instagram and on Twitter. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go first because I have experienced with both animals. Lord,
Speaker 1: I have wrestled a bear. Oh just so I had
Speaker 1: my experience. I wrestled, wrestled Waldo the wrestling bear at
Speaker 1: halftime of a CBA basketball game in nineteen ninety two,
Speaker 1: took him down, although was not happy.
Speaker 5: So a pet bear versus a wild bear hopped upon Cooke.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, okay, I've got experience with the bear.
Speaker 3: Your resume right now.
Speaker 1: The alligators a different story. I've had a tussle with
Speaker 1: an alligator too, but I was armed.
Speaker 3: And on a bridge.
Speaker 2: No, I was right next to him.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, and I exterminated him with extreme prejudice.
Speaker 1: And so I think I'd rather wrestle the bear, though,
Speaker 1: because that gator gets to spinning around and the death spiral.
Speaker 2: You're done, You're done.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, so you're going meth gator. I'm going a bear,
Speaker 5: You're going bear. I'm going meth gator because the bear,
Speaker 5: if you get out of the once the alligator's out
Speaker 5: of the water, kind of not a lot of power.
Speaker 3: You can get away from him, right. The bear can
Speaker 3: go in the water, out of the water, right, and it's.
Speaker 2: Very easy to hold the gator's mouth shut.
Speaker 3: Right, I'm going to gat.
Speaker 2: I think I'm must switch and go with meth gator too.
Speaker 3: Let's tag team and then we'll split the ten.
Speaker 1: Milt, Steven, I gotta know what made you do? Is
Speaker 1: this just how your brain works? These types of questions.
Speaker 4: Just just you know, I come up with these crazy things. Yeah,
Speaker 4: brain works. I asked my wife. By the way, she
Speaker 4: also took meth Gator. Okay, and I decided on Methgator
Speaker 4: after her reasoning of why you and the reasoning wasn't
Speaker 4: too far from y'all's reasoning. U So I yeah, I
Speaker 4: ended up going with meth Gator. I would want to
Speaker 4: train though. Do I get at least six weeks of training?
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, for sure? I mean what does that training
Speaker 3: look like? Swimming? Holy sweet things?
Speaker 1: Closedezing the mountain shut, stuffing, the finger up the nose.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's a shark.
Speaker 1: Shark.
Speaker 3: We gotta throw him in.
Speaker 1: We'll take a break more with Stephen coming up. In fact,
Speaker 1: coming up in just a little bit, we are going
Speaker 1: to talk about a about wrestling movies, and Steven's got
Speaker 1: some inside scoop on the New Superman.

Speaker 4: He transformed himself for that role. And so yeah, so big,
Speaker 4: you know what movie next year?
Speaker 2: I remember a few weeks ago and we didn't get
Speaker 2: time to it.
Speaker 1: But you said you had a macho man, a randy
Speaker 1: macho man, savage story and we didn't get to it.
Speaker 2: What's the story.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, So I've heard through very reliable sources here
Speaker 4: here in our town in Austin. So when Macho Man
Speaker 4: used to make a lot of frequent trips to Austin
Speaker 4: in the late eighties early nineties because they had a
Speaker 4: lot of w W. I guess at the time it
Speaker 4: would been wwf uh maybe some of WWE later would
Speaker 4: come in for the big events in Austin wrestling events.
Speaker 4: And he had driver, a regular driver that would pick
Speaker 4: him up at the airport. That was his guy that
Speaker 4: would come and pick him up in a limousine. And
Speaker 4: there was one place Macho Man wanted to go first
Speaker 4: before he did anything else when he arrived to town.
Speaker 2: That was second.
Speaker 4: I'm sure that was second based on what I'd heard
Speaker 4: about him. So you know, you've always heard apparently Machu
Speaker 4: Man was the real deal. He was everything you saw
Speaker 4: on camera, like he was always So he would arrive
Speaker 4: and get in a limo, and he was always pretty
Speaker 4: amped up, like almost like someone that just rolled around
Speaker 4: in the snow, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, all right, So he.
Speaker 4: Wanted to go to Taco Bell, Take me to Taco
Speaker 4: Bell drive.
Speaker 2: Through really to get a burrito supreme.
Speaker 3: His wrestling voice.
Speaker 5: He would be like, oh yeah, the bell.
Speaker 3: He loved the bell.
Speaker 1: The bell.
Speaker 3: He was obsessed with the bell. That's funny.
Speaker 2: That is funnier in Austin. You want to go to
Speaker 2: the taco bell, right.
Speaker 3: Talk about anywhere? Right, that's funny.
Speaker 2: That is random.
Speaker 1: I worked at a gold gym in college and the
Speaker 1: Ultimate Warrior came in and worked out there.
Speaker 2: Do you remember him?
Speaker 3: Cool? That would be so cool.
Speaker 2: That was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: And then I'll never He also laid in the tanning
Speaker 1: bed for like an hour and a half.
Speaker 3: That surprised.
Speaker 1: It was weird. I kept knocking on the door. I like, hey,
Speaker 1: mister Warrior, you're thirty minutes are up.
Speaker 2: Mister, And all I heard was bar and I.
Speaker 3: Was like, okay, crashing around.
Speaker 1: I come back thirty minutes later, I'm like, hey, been
Speaker 1: an hour.
Speaker 2: Tightally came out. He's just dripping sweat, dark as dirt. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was weird, weird, weird, weird. Let's move on
Speaker 1: to Superman. You got inside scoop Superman.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I've got inside baseball from my insiders in
Speaker 4: the industry that we'll see a teaser trailer very soon,
Speaker 4: maybe even the next week or a little over a week,
Speaker 4: and that James Gun's working on it right now. As
Speaker 4: we speak. And one thing is really interesting about this
Speaker 4: new Superman. If you look at some of the set photos,
Speaker 4: the Clark, this version of Clark Kent is actually going
Speaker 4: to try a little bit harder to disguise.
Speaker 3: Himself more than just the glasses.
Speaker 4: The glasses he wears, so he's wearing a wig. If
Speaker 4: you look at the pictures really closely, and he's got
Speaker 4: broccoli head.
Speaker 3: Do you know what broccoli head?
Speaker 5: We just did a story on broccoli head the haircut.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Hark Kent's gonna have broccoley head in this movie.
Speaker 1: But wasn't that's very trendy and cool. Wasn't Clark kind
Speaker 1: of nerdy.
Speaker 3: He usually is?
Speaker 4: I mean, I think Brockleyhead can be a crossover for
Speaker 4: you know, cool or nerdy.
Speaker 5: Right, it's trendy and cool now, but I think in
Speaker 5: real life it's not.
Speaker 3: Cool like trendy and cool.
Speaker 2: You know what you're saying?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad to hear Clark Kent's going to make
Speaker 1: more of an effort to disguise himself.
Speaker 5: Right, that was a problem, Steven. Did they fix his suit?
Speaker 5: Remember all the backlash about his suit? Looks like it
Speaker 5: was sewn by his grandma, remember all that stuff.
Speaker 3: I don't know. The suit.
Speaker 4: I saw it look pretty good. It was a little
Speaker 4: hard to tell from the photo at the angle, but
Speaker 4: it looked looked like a decent suit.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I know Christopher Reez used to do the slouch really
Speaker 4: well to make himself seem more nerdy.
Speaker 3: Park kids. I don't know if he's going to do
Speaker 3: the slouch.
Speaker 4: You know what an interesting thing is speaking of Superman,
Speaker 4: Henry Cavell as an experiment. One time went to Times
Speaker 4: Square in New York with a super Man's shirt hot
Speaker 4: walking around. You can look at the there's pictures online.
Speaker 4: I think there's a video to his pictures online was
Speaker 4: showing him and nobody approached him. Really just wants a
Speaker 4: person telling him he had to move along because they
Speaker 4: thought he was there as one of the people that
Speaker 4: stands for people to take pictures.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 2: They thought he was a poser.
Speaker 5: I saw a story that his nephew went to I
Speaker 5: don't know, a little elementary school and was telling everybody
Speaker 5: that his uncle was Superman, and none of the kids
Speaker 5: believed him.
Speaker 3: So he walked his nephew to school.
Speaker 5: One days a superman, but to prove that his nephew
Speaker 5: was not lying.
Speaker 2: That's funny. Who do you guys remember?
Speaker 1: This a big bit of a jump here, but do
Speaker 1: you remember did you guys ever watch Cheers?
Speaker 2: Do you remember Jay Thomas? Yeah, the comedian that.
Speaker 3: Curly hair.
Speaker 1: If you want to hear the greatest story ever told,
Speaker 1: go to YouTube today and just type in jays Loan
Speaker 1: Ranger and he tells the funniest story I've ever heard
Speaker 1: about the lone Ranger. It is hysterical. Trust me on that,
Speaker 1: all right, Steve, and I want you to watch it
Speaker 1: and report back.
Speaker 3: Last week at your homework you got a homework segment.
