It's one of my favorite times. There's that point in every summer where I start convincing myself, I'm going to be normal about football this year. Not as emotional. Not lose myself completely in it. And then the game start. The sprinklers. The smell of grass. The roar of the crowd. The toasting of Miller Light. Ah, that right there my friends. That's my favorite part about all of this because make it football time is great. Make it football time a Miller time. That's special. Some of my favorite weekends are built around football. Getting everybody together, putting the college games on on Saturday come back for the NFL on Sunday, order way too much food, and crack open Miller lights for me and my friends. That's a perfect weekend for me. And Miller light is a beer I reach for every time because it's crisp, refreshing, and easy to drink. Especially when football starts. When it's still somehow down here. 90 degrees in Miami. It's a true American pilsner that cools the body down the original light beer since 1975 and just 96 calories and 3.2 carbs. Legendary game days start with a Miller light.

You are listening to the down levatar show in partnership with the DraftKin Sports Act now live in all 50 estates. My ear is killing me. But this episode of the day levitar show is presented by DraftKin Sports. DraftKin's the crown is yours. What a plot twist. So have you ever heard of the game Grand Theft Auto? I love Grand Theft Auto. You mean GTA? Sure. Did you know that there was a or is a Grand Theft Auto 5? Yes. Yeah, that happened like 10 years ago. Well, would you be interested if I told you that Grand Theft Auto 6 is about to come up?

What? Say word. Yep. That's right. GTA 6 is coming out. The trailer actually dropped I think yesterday. Trailer. And people, I mean, like people are freaking out over this trail because like you said, it's been how many years since GTA 5? Over a decade. Are there all kinds of NBA jokes? It's like, oh, we're really going to get the next GTA before Joel and Beat gets out of the second round, right? Well, the joke usually goes something like, oh, unbelievable. We got a next championship before we got GTA 6. Yeah, right. Something like that. So Grand Theft Auto and correct me if I'm wrong. It started out as just a game where you're stealing cars, right? Hence, Grand Theft Auto. That's what punch people to, I believe. That's what I was like. But the crux of the plot was you're stealing cars, right? There was no plot. Like it was like, it was one of those bird's eye view. And it was just like, hey, we need you to steal a red one. It will be a Pontiac, whatever. It'll be whatever they call a Pontiac. And like, okay, you go find the car. You rob it. You steal it and you take it to a chop shop. It's like, okay, now you got to go find a blue.

And that was the whole game. And then over time, it grew into this thing that had like a storyline and plot. And all that stuff. And you put it in the cheat code and then an helicopter just appears right there. Wasn't one year where it was like the plot was score face, right? It was like, it's taking place here. Vice city, right? Vice city. That was it. I got that right. That's right. Because I played Grand Theft Auto, but man, like when did the first one come out? Probably like 20 some odd years ago. Like 1998, I won't say. Yeah, 25 plus years. That's probably when I played, you know? All right, so GTA 6 is coming out. It's a really big deal. Andy Cortez is the host at kind of funny games on YouTube. He also has the kind of funny podcast. He covers video games. All right. And Andy, thank you for joining us. And you already got a sneak peek at GTA 6, correct? That's right, Zaz. Yeah. It was my, it was a big invitation to go down to Scotland. It was a much more closed off event than all the other events I've been to.

When did we go preview these video games? It was, it was one of those like, holy, they're letting us in. Like what the hell? Because they're, I mean, it's like, it's like trying to get to the Pentagon at rock star. It's just like one of the most closed off things ever. So it was a gigantic honor to be able to go to Scotland and check it out. I thought you'd go over to Scotland, not down to Scotland. How are you going down to Scotland? I wouldn't have said down. Oh, I mean, it depends on what, like hemisphere we're talking and things like that. So that's usually what I, talking hemisphere. Yeah. All right. Andy, don't let them box you in, man. It's all a construct north south. Is who cares? What way is out on space? The Lord's hemisphere. I don't pay attention, any of it, guys. I just stick with what I'm, what I'm born with, you know, put it on the pole, Ju, Ju. Can you go down to Scotland? Andy, how did you get this invite? Um, okay. So it's a weird one. It's kind of a weird story. But whenever you go to these big gaming events, uh, and it's like come preview this big

next video game where we're, we're over here. We're doing an event in New York, we're doing an event in LA or whatever. And it's normally about 30 to 40 people from all over press and then the Twitch streamers, Instagram, you know, the TikTokers, all that stuff. And this one was like a crazy close off event where only four streamers were invited. And then we were one of maybe four press outlets, which is freaking nuts. I just can't believe we had that level of access. We do a game show where we rip off, um, the family feud. And I won one of the episodes and the reward was you'll get to go, you'll be the one to go preview GTA six. And it was like, whoa, that's a really awesome reward. And so I won it and then rock star saw the episode and then rock star, the developers. And then they hit up my boss Greg Miller and we're like, we want you to come to Scotland and also we want you to bring Andy because he won that game show.

And we really liked that. That was a lot of like we thought it was really funny. So that is pretty awesome. So Andy Cortez, kind of funny games got to go to the rock star games in Scotland and watch three hours of Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay, your first impressions of GTA six or what? I mean, it's, it's freaking nuts. It's, there's a reason why rock star is who they are and why they are one of the highest grossing companies ever, you know, we're talking about nowadays it's a big success of a game sells six million copies, five million copies. And Grand Theft Auto 5 has sold 220 million copies and Red Dead Redemption 2 has sold 80 million copies like this is to really, really big deal. Well, this be the biggest, well, this be the biggest game release ever ever, ever, ever, ever, absolutely. There's no doubt about it. And I'm sure their investors are extremely stoked about that because the game has been

in development since probably right after their most recent game was being developed, Red Dead Redemption 2, which came on 2018. So it's been, it's been in the oven for quite some time with thousands of employees and just an insane amount of budget. It's definitely going to make the most money and it's definitely the game that's cost the most to make. Andy, we're down here in Miami. We're up here in Miami, maybe. I don't know, depending on what direction you're at. Over here in Miami. There you go. Everyone keeps saying that this game is super realistic. It's super realistic to Miami. I don't know. I know you probably only seen a little bit of gameplay, but from what you've seen, is their constant construction and his traffic awful at all hours of the day. That's how I'll know it's realistic. I mean, I would say the level of realism kind of comes from the way that the just citizens in the world are reacting to you. That's where a lot of the budget goes to and that's where a lot of the facade of video game falls apart when you are playing a game and you're trying to be immersed and then

you bust out of gun and then people just keep on walking by you like normal. But it like this team rock star is so gigantic. They made their, they started a studio only to work on the citizens in the game. Not to work on story or the environment, they just started a studio and probably have like several hundred people there only working on. Just try to make all these citizens feel extremely unique and responsive to you and have them all give them all a schedule. They get up to go to work on at this hour. It's just the most insane elaborate video game ever being made and I didn't see a whole lot of construction, but it was really also where we saw nothing presentation. They show us the Netflix thing. They're like, this is what we want to show off by the way. We're like, damn, how I bet you Netflix paid, you know, an armor leg for that. It was mainly then being like, no, we went to Netflix. We don't, it wasn't about a money thing. It was about we want people to watch this on a big screen. People that maybe are gamers, people that maybe only watch, you know, breaking bad and

maybe like good drama or whatever. And so the, yeah, the level of detail in this war was just absolutely nuts. It's ridiculous. What they're doing here. Andy, what's the craziest or funniest thing you saw in the game in the preview that you got to watch? That's a great question. So I would say this two of them and this was kind of a weird event, right? Because normally when you go to a game event, you're there in the same place with everybody else, but this time it was just, hey, Andy and Greg, we're going to fly you two out only. You're going to come to our offices. And so as we're experiencing, you know, we see the Netflix thing and then they go, all right, let's boot up the game and you guys can't play it. But I'm sitting here playing it right in front of you and you tell me what to do. And so the level of that there was one moment where we went to go try to steal money from a convenience store and the, which is what you're going to be doing.

You're playing these two characters. They're a, you know, boyfriend and girlfriend at the time and you are on the run constantly. You need money. You need to survive. And so we go to try to hold up a convenience store, try to steal money from it. And as we are breaking into the convenience store, we're prepping for this little heist or whatever, getting the weapons, getting the, you know, putting the band down on our face. And as soon as we walk up to the cash register, another lady from behind knocks us out of the way and proceeds to try to steal from the convenience store and it's like, give me your money. Give me your money. And we're like, and they freaked out. The developers freaked out. And to be honest with you, add a lot of these gaming events. You're like, okay, you probably planned that. You're trying to really impress us. I get that. Like, I'm sure every other peep, every other outlet that's coming to see this game may have seen the same thing we did. And no, nobody else reported on that. That only happened in our playthrough. This game is all about like, they want all of these random in-world events to feel so unique. So a random lady comes to hold to try to steal money from the cash register from the cash

year. We end up knocking her out. And then we hold a bar gun of the cash register to the cash year. And the cash year is like, she was another one. There's two people, what the, she freaks out. She ends up running out of the store and leaving. And we were able to then steal all the money from there. And then when you steal the money, you got to go back into the back room and steal the security tape and everything. It's unbelievable. Andy, one of my favorite shows on TV of all time was Westworld Season 1. That's why I love Red Dead Redemption is because it feels like Westworld. But the way you're describing what just happened, it reminds me of Westworld when it started doing the reveries and it was like, wait, how did the robot, is that supposed to happen? How do they do that on their own? How do they have like free will and stuff? Is that basically what you're describing to me is that the NPCs while non-playable are actually doing stuff? Yes. And that's a big reason why they have a massive team only working on that. It's rock stars made up of like five different studios.

So to be able to allocate resources to only work on how these NPCs behave, these are NPCs with lives that have a schedule that walk on this old couple, maybe just walks on the beach and gets up like at 6am. That guy is a Twitch streamer and will be on his phone and might stop you for an interview like you see in street, you know, TikToks or Instagram reels, all of these NPCs are made to be, made to feel insanely unique. And a big goal of them at rock stars is like, we don't want people to experience things over and over again. We don't want you to see that same moment happen multiple times towards starts to feel like, oh yeah, that's the moment where that NPC, there was another moment we were playing where they were driving down the highway for us and there was a helicopter nearby, a police helicopter with the lights shining down. They were looking for a criminal and it's nighttime and you heard over the loudspeaker,

over like the PA from the helicopter saying, there's a furry on the loo or beware, there's a furry on the loose. And we were like, did we hear that? Did you hear that? There's a furry on the loose. And they're like, yeah, we got to go see that. That's a really cool in-world event. We were not able to get there because the highway didn't have enough exits and we couldn't exit off the highway in time to be able to see that in-world event. But yes, all of these NPCs are so unique and they all have their kind of regimens and what they do and it's, it's absolutely nuts. Probably got caught in the palm metal between one thirty one oh third and the next exit and you're trying to get there and the gratinie parkways going east to west and you're like, what are we doing here? It's a problem. Of course. And when the game comes out, first of all, when is the game coming out and when it comes out, how many hours straight will you spend on it? Well, the nature of the job for me is like whoever, well, first off, I hope we get a lot of a lot of game keys because a lot of studios will maybe only send one code and we have to be able to like, all right, who's going to be the one to play it?

Who's the one reviewing it? So I really, really hope that I am able to review it and maybe get the code for us. I don't know when that day is. But it'll be the nature of the job to like, all right, you are playing this. Take off time from the shows if you need to and maybe don't, you know, be playing other games. You are just dedicated to this right now. So they said it's about 80 hours to complete, which is pretty nuts. The game comes out November 19th. So it's still a while. Wow. Yeah, it's still a while. And we're, I'm at least hoping that there is going to be another event where they invite press out and maybe we could go actually play the thing. But either way, it was still insanely cool to see just two and a half to three hours of just, you know, no, no holds bar just we're playing the game. What do you want us to go do and we'll go do it? Andy, did they tell you about any quirks are trying to work out the stuff that still isn't finished or is it complete and we're just waiting for November?

No, no, no, they are still like, they will be working on this right until game time. And obviously they, they mentioned to us, you know, we could work on this forever and we want to try to fix everything as much as possible. But as we were playing stuff, it was so cool to have the director with the, with what of his developers behind him on a computer as he's, you know, the directors playing the game. And there would, there would be a bug you as your character were with your girlfriend Lucia, you play a guy named Jason, who looks a lot like Tony. I got that a lot from our community. He, Jason, as he walked up to an ATM because you have a bank account and you have cash on you. And if you ever die with a cash on you in the game, that cash is gone. So you wanted to deposit the buddy to make it safe. So he walked up to the ATM and Lucia was standing in front of the ATM and she wasn't moving out of the way.

And the director was like, Hey, write this down. She's, she's got to move. She needs to know to get out of the way as, as one of these computer characters, one of these NPCs that AI needs to fix that. We were seeing all these kind of different bugs in real time. That weren't the most insane things at all. But there was a moment where a do get shot in the head and his, as he's falling backwards and the physics are moving, his sunglasses clipped through his head and they go through his head backwards. Oh, boo, boo, broken game, right? I'm giving her refund. But the, in that moment, the director was like, Hey, glasses, and he's doing like that glasses, write that down, write that down. And it's like, there are potentially details just all the world. Lee, it's crazy. And you have got a two-par question for you. One has anybody ever told you that you have a cadence in the sound of George Sedano? Yeah. Because back here's bits. Oh, it's blown my mind, dude. The way that you talk, the way that you say things and I'm like, dude, I can close my eyes and I can hear Sedano. That's one.

So put a pin in that. Two is the goat as a fan. Wow, it's the goat. Wow. I didn't use it as a toy. All right. Okay. Hollywood Sedano. Hollywood Sedano. Hollywood Sedano. As the second part of the question, as a member, card-carry member of the Galactic Fashches Federation with your leader, Wembee, how do you feel about the spurs? Oh, God. I mean, we're, oh, gosh. I mean, I think you bring up a subject that, you know, tough so early on in the morning. It's 7 a.m. for me, Tony. So I don't know why you try to fire me up like this. I mean, cover athlete. We're going to win it all this year. Some more veteran leadership. I had to be in New York the week that the spurs won or the spurs lost the week of the spurs lost. I was in New York and it was just a depressing time for me. So like I saw him gotten over it. But thanks for bringing up those old wounds, man. Appreciate that. But I gave you the compliment of Jor Sedano. So we balanced it out. I mean, he is the goat. I don't know why I say he's the goat. I think he's cool. I don't know why I gave that. It's a weird thing to say. I walked him back. It's the role. I'm telling you, it's a bathroom.

I'm going to text it on you said he was the goat and then he took it back. It was warranted. Took it back really quick, actually. Andy Cortez, you can catch him. Kind of funny games, YouTube show. Also the kind of funny podcasts and on his Twitch at Andy Cortez. Really fun stuff, Andy. Thanks for, thanks for joining us. Appreciate it, man. Of course, guys, been a fan since 2013 or something. So this is an honor. This is the ranch. Thank you. There you go. Thanks. Thank you. I want to see that interaction. Lord, let there be a day. Let there be a day. Let there be a day. Oh, the color purple. Like these glasses? She would see these glasses. She'd be like, this is someone I'll take a picture with. He looks sophisticated. I love big game, not a big game. Jenna, then Sassalol. She would say that to me. Instead of me having to go up to her and say I'm a big fan, she's like, I love big deal, not a big deal. You're a huge fan of your work. You'll one time or two time championship broadcast.

Two. Oprah. You think Oprah would say, hey, nobody book club? And I would say yes, I do, Oprah. Yes, I do. Have you seen weapons? The kids. They see their laboratory show. Let me ask you something. Dave, by the way, you were excellent there with Andy. But is this kind of game that's hard to play? Because I used to play video games when I was younger. And then five or six years ago, my son is like, hey, you want to play Madden with me? My boys both have video games. And I'm like, yeah, let's play Madden. I used to love Madden. They have their own video games? Wow. Yeah. And now I'll play with them. I pick up the control. I can't even complete a pass. Like I'm awful. I can't. The buttons. It's like too much at one time for me now. Is there a game named like Zast 3.0 and Zast 3.1?

Or something like that? No. I don't even know what you're doing there. Well, you said they have video games. I'm like, wow, it's pretty cool to have your own video games. Yeah, they have their own video games. Yeah, video games. Dave, do you understand what I'm saying? I do. And you know what makes me feel better about me. And maybe this will help you too, Zast. Have you noticed that the Uber modern games and how confusing they are and everything? Kids now are deferring to games that look very much like the games of 40 years ago. Yes. Really? Yes. That's what they vibe to is some version of Sonic the Hedgehog. I mean, it's all like the lateral, like your character is going from left to right or vice versa. And driving games and all the fancy stuff that goes into these games is being set aside in favor of like the more straightforward games that we can relate to. Dave Demeshek, we park our cars in the same garage because my kids annoy me because they won't play cool games like that. They play.

It looks incredible. They play Minecraft and they play this game called Undertale. And then there's another one from the makers of Undertale. And it's exactly what David's describing. It looks like it's an Atari. It's flat. And it's like a lot of it. And it's like, hey, person, dude, is this this? Do you want to do this or do you want to do this? Like it's the Oregon Trail. And I'm like, guys, we live in the air of like 8K and like life like realistic stuff. Like, why don't you guys play Indiana Jones or the Harry Potter game or whatever? Nope. They just love this stupid little game and they're obsessed with it. And it angers me, Zaz. It angers me because they're like, do you want to play? I'm like, no. No, I don't want to play this boring looking ass game that I would have loved to play. I would have loved 40 years. Nile over substance, I mean, you know, we peaked as a video gaming society with NHL 94. And now we can have fans here. We can have fans here looking graphics and everything. But that doesn't change the fact that the best of the best remains what happened 30 years ago. Brother, let me tell you something. I spent how many days in LA I would go.

This would be my schedule literally. I would go. I would do the jump at 12. I would do sports nation at one. I would get out basically at two and from two o'clock till like 11 o'clock because I had a little desk there and I had my PS4 in there. I was paying red dead redemption like eight, nine hours straight. To bosses would walk by and the people close kind of off to this. It'd be like, my guy is grinding. It would go from light to dark. The cleaning people would be coming by and I was just locked in locked in on what trying to hit that legendary alligator down by what's it called? Sandini, which is basically New Orleans. Oh my God. You have not lived until you have thrown your entire life into red dead redemption too and just became a cowboy and learn how to fish and hunt and stuff like that. That was you. I mean, I have really fun news from Dave Damacek. Dave, why don't you tell all of us the movie you finally got around to seeing?

Well, the other day realized, you know, there's someone pretty important in my life that I've been ignoring lately and his name is Dave Damacek. And so I treated that guy to a matinee. Just me, just me went over to the matinee and saw the Odyssey. Yeah. And all the hype probably gets to the surf. I fell into this trap with the Ryan Gosling movie earlier this year that it was so hyped. Oh my goodness. Project Hail Mary. Project Hail Mary. Oh, the Martian director of the Martian. I was like, oh, this is going to be a good movie. And I saw it and I was like, this is the movie. Everybody's going Gaga for it's a buddy picture with a rock unsatisfying today. But the Odyssey, what a movie. What a movie. What a movie. What did you love the most about it? I think of all the chapters along their along their way. The the cyclops was great.

I mean, there were so many great layers, but I'm just thinking about it as an adventure movie as an action movie before you get into the greater meaning and all of that. My favorite stop for them was either the cyclops or the giants whose names I can't remember. But that was a badass crew that dispatched them pretty quick as they made their way. By the way, I always think in any war movie, even a mythical one, I would be one of if not the first one dead. That would be my that would be my fate. You know, I wouldn't get left behind when when Matt Damon's like, I need people and we're doing a thing, I would definitely my luck is bad enough that I would make the cut and have to go to war. But I'm jet and there wouldn't be like, oh, you know, he has a he has an arched he has a an arch in his footer as a bone spurs or whatever. I would get into the army or I would get dragged along with Matt Damon on the Odyssey, but then I would be the first one dead. And at the end of the war, they would be like, you remember that Jew? Remember him? Just like with the annoying voice.

Yeah, vaguely I do. Yeah, like he was the first one dead. That was sad. Did Argus make you cry? No, but listen, the gravity of the last 20, 30 minutes. Oh, so good. Pretty strong. It's so come on. String in that bow. Dave, you know about stringing that bow? I like that he had to abide by it when he was about to shoot the deer. He's like rules are rules, man. What a scene. And then the deer ended up being a naked dude with a narrowing his ass. A witch. A witch. I mean, that's a good opportunity. Your time to shine here. You have a top five, right? I do have a top five. So I went to see the Odyssey and stay awake. I stayed awake the entire time. It was it held my attention the whole time. And it feels sleepy one bit. I loved it. I feel bad about like being like people are happening it up. I don't feel bad about on 70 millimeter.

Totally irrelevant. But before you watch a movie, you get to the movies early. See trailers. Love trailers. And so there were a lot of trailers before every movie. What would you say the average time is now before the movie actually? So we're going at least 25 minutes. 30 minutes. Yeah. Because they also slip in these ads. These Coca-Cola, we get it. I'm drinking Coke, man. You don't have to do ads anymore. Trust me, I'm not going to go get a Pepsi. I'm going to get a Coke. Like they keep throwing these ads. Especially the movie dude. Okay, I get it. Coke. Got it. Messes have received. But when I'm running late, that's when there's no. Fuck me. All right, good job. I mean, continue. Yeah. It's Friday, Chris. Wow. Wow. Trailers. I was the one yelling trailers in the background. There's no trailers when you're late for a movie. I mean, why do they have to show ads for the movie theater when you're in the movie theater? That's very strange. Yes, AMC. When you're on time. Right. AMC with, with, with, with, uh,

Let it go, Coke. Let it go. That's a tough one, Zach. Nicole Kidman trying to tell me about the magic of theaters. Like, I don't need that. I'm already here, lady. You didn't have to sell me. They're called Kidman. That's, that's an all-time job. Don't give me the rest of it. The little roller coaster, all that stuff. But Nicole Kidman telling me the magic of cinema. I get it, man. You don't have to sell me. I'm here. Like, you should do that somewhere else. That's a liar. Sell me a piece of the choir. It's, it's a warden talking inmates. I'm already here. These were the top five trailers I saw before the Odyssey. I've got to know a lie, folks. By any means. Yeah. Yeah, I was like, this is not great. It looks very formulaic. It's a buddy cop black guy, white guy. They're trying to find some racist dude in the clan. The monster, the Walberg. Yeah. Yeah. And, and Yaya Abdel-Mateen.

Yeah. Two actors I really like. It just felt like a very formulaic movie based on the trailer. Hence the O.L.O. Number five. I don't like horror movies. But this other mommy. Oh, good boy. I might, I might be sold on watching it. Here's the problem. How is it not called other mother? Yeah, I thought the same thing. I thought the same thing. But also the other thing I thought of is this is the key. And I mean, the Jordan Peele movie, remember us or whatever it was called? Where it's like there's doppelgangers of everyone. Yeah. Like we've already seen this movie with black people, then that's making it better, by the way. But why do I know is the Jennifer Lawrence movie mother? That's probably why they didn't go with the other mother suggestion that you went with there. Oh, that's like why you know the point. Right, because it's like mother, but it's the other one. But it sounds like a sequel. It sounds like a sequel. That's not a great sequel to another one. Another mother. Should have been the sequel.

That's the sequel, not other mother. There you go. Number four. I heard about this. I heard about people talking about it. Like this sounds dumb. Why are they doing this sequel? It's been run into the ground. And then I watched the trailer and said, you know what? Maybe. Faulkner in law. It looks funny, right? Yeah. So now the son of Ben Stiller has grown up. And he's dating a girl. Ariana Grande. And but Ben Stiller is trying to do the same thing that De Niro did to him and be kind of tough on her. But turns out she's way more of a hard ass than he ever is. And so her and Robert De Niro start bonding. And hating Ben Stiller, I'm like, yo. My fear is that we've seen the best of what the movie has to offer in the trailer. I don't know. Maybe, but that trailer was funny, man. When he spits his food into De Niro's mouth, it's funny. Number three. Whale fall. That move looks crazy, right? Again, sounds like a dumb premise. Octopus in the whale's mouth. I heard about it.

Sounded like a dumb premise. And then I saw the trailer. And so this guy gets swallowed home by Whale. I'm in. Who among us, right? 3M. I'm in. Number two. It's an octopus in the whale's mouth. So his tentacles coming out of the whale's mouth. And the octopus is a hater because the guy tried to sit with him like, no, you don't. It wraps its tentacle around the dude's leg. That you, that, I'm here, you're here too. I gotta see that. I gotta know what happens. Number two. I play Rocky. Oh, all the goose bumps. All the goose bumps watching that. Stallone having a fight for his script, having to use a fake name. And people say, just go use your regular name. And it's a, he's too dumb or whatever. And he's like, I wrote the script. And if I don't get to be in it, then you don't get to make it. And they keep up in the number. He says, he says, I play Rocky and the guy goes,

I don't know what that means. I'm really excited about that one. Yep. Yep. Yeah, who gives a, what, what, what, what, what, a movie about making a movie? Yeah. Just make a documentary. I went, what do I need the, the fictionalize? Somebody cast a play slice to loan. Yeah. I don't know if everybody likes the, a Stallone is still alive. You could just talk to him. He's 80. I can't remember. All right. I'm a, who, who gives a, the making of Rocky. And I love Rocky. And the number one, actually we hold on. Before I go to number one, the, do you guys watch that show that had Miles Teller in it? That was about the making of the Godfather? I did not, but I know what that is. It's great. It's great. But the guy that plays Patino in that, who plays Patino perfectly, does the voice perfectly. He's the one that plays Stallone in this movie. And he does the voice perfectly. And he looks just like him. Maybe I can't tell Italian's apart. Hmm. The guy who plays Apollo car weather's also looks

and sounds just like him. Really well done. He looks really good. And the number one movie trailer that I saw, that I'm 10 toes deep. This one is actually going to get me to the theater folks. Maybe opening night like Jonathan Zavov. You know about that digger? Now is that what we call digger? Digger? I can say it with like lots of gusto. I don't even know what to make in that movie. Dude, I didn't know what it was about. I kept we doing this bit over here. And I was like, it's a funny bit. I know Tom Cruise does a new movie called It looks crazy. Then I saw the trailer and Tom Cruise in the prosthetics and all that stuff. And I'm like, oh my God. This guy's incredible. He's the greatest actor of our time. We have gone to John Goodman. Well, that's how he's been looking. I don't know if he watched. But that's how he's been looking if he watched like righteous jumps to him. I know, but I don't like the way he looks. So a lot of way he didn't go to the men's warehouse? No, he didn't. He didn't like the way he's been. I guarantee it. Kim's got a boo. Down lebatar. The Packers winner, the bear loose, bears loose. Jenna D'Ansasolo. Shitty, you want to know how that,

what were the kids doing? They see the down lebatar show. Chris, how you feeling about talking right now? He's shaking his head. No. For the audio audience there. That's good list, I mean. Thank you. That's a good job. What are you most excited about? Well, I mean, Avengers Doomsday. Oh, you come. Sell the trailer for that too when I watch Spider-Man. I like Spider-Man, it was good. Yeah. But I'm also really enti- I am rocky. It looks fantastic. Yeah. I don't care about that, but back to the Doomsday. What is the story now? So Robert Downey Jr. So Tony Stark is Doomsday? Here's the thing. This is a crazy concept, Dave. I hope you're able to follow along here. Gotta go see the movie. But do you know the answer? I know you're snarking at me, Zaz. But for real, is that because it's so weird that you would have in, it's not like you went

from DC to Marvel, but Chris Evans is Captain America and the human torch. It's ridiculous that they couldn't figure out another actor to play two superheroes in the same universe. They're not the same universe. They're not the same universe. That's why it's called a cinematic universe because the Chris Evans- They're in the Marvel universe. The Marvel Cinematic Universe. That's it defines it as one thing. So when Chris Evans played the human torch, that was not in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the same way that, oh, I don't know, Craven and Madame Webb are not in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They're just movies based on Marvel characters. Craven's not a sh- movie, I like that movie a lot. Awful. Nope, you're wrong. Awful. I watched it seven times, man. Tony Stark, I'm not talking about Robert Downey Jr. I'm talking about Tony Stark. Isn't he somehow Doomsday in the Marvel universe? Okay, so first of all, hold on, let me do this. Stay, damn it, Shake. Did you never read comic books going up? You never heard of Dr. Doom? I was more, I was a Batman game. Yeah, why are you calling him Doomsday? His name is Dr. Doom. He went to college.

He went to university. He got a graduate degree. Not for you to call him Doomsday, but you to refer him as Dr. Doom. Number one, number two, this is the great mystery that we're all gonna find out because the theory is, in the multiverse, somehow Victor Von Doom, aka Dr. Doom, looks exactly like Tony Stark and that's what's gonna blow everyone's minds in the movie in the universe. Wait a second, you was like, my buddy Tony's like, I do not know who Tony is. He's got a little weird accent and stuff. So that's the part that this is- This is from like Barrier. Like Barrier, that's right. You make it, then? I'll stay it. Yeah, that's how you find out the questions that you have by seeing it. Tell you the answers to movies. Is Chris okay? No, Chris is lying down now on a couch outside the studio because he's quit speaking for the day because it was a rough, like, I don't even know what he was trying to say.

He's bad at talking. It's just tough. Like he's had a tough week. You know, you need- He missed several days this week. I know, but that's bad, right? Like most people you miss days, he's like, oh, I'm rested. I'm relaxed. I can come back and be great at my job. In Chris's case, when he misses days, he's doing activities during those days that will negatively affect him. He's actually better off working every single day than taking any days off. Yeah, he has no confidence right now. Very, very low confidence. He looks, look at him. He looks- Looks terrible. I've never seen him this emotional. His eyes are welling up. I don't even know if he's blinking. If he's a- There's a man's sleep. There's a man's side sleep in the manner that Chris Cody is right now. On the couch. On the couch, how else are you gonna sleep with his arms crossed? On the back. I told you how I sleep. Like a vampire. I told- Well, that's close to how I sleep like this, Dave. Like on my back. Like this.

Do you have a hands up, eh? Yeah, that's how I sleep. On my back, on my hands up. What are you getting ready for? I'm not getting ready for anything. This is comfortable to me. I feel like you're gonna pop up. Like, ah! That's how I sleep. You know what I do that's weird? As I do, actually, I said sleep like a vampire, but I actually do like, I do bat arms. I do that also. Yeah, show me bat arms. Like, do your wrists hurt? Well, I do this kind of like, no, no, not like Dracula with his arms folded for his sleep during the day. I like literally bend my arm. Like I press my arm down into the mattress. Oh, like, do it. And we rip. Yeah, right. Yeah, basically I'm fencing. Right. I sleep for the six hours. I sleep each night in the fencing position. Are you a resort? Yeah, they have to be so very, very, it's weird. I don't know what to make of it, but I am aware that I'm not the only person who does it. You're gonna say, Dave, why did you risk your life? I slept weird.

It's got me starting. Got the gout. It's getting grim. It's getting grim, Zaz. I'm Becca Eggbouga. I got to play this for you here, Dave. I don't know if you saw this yesterday. So the Seattle Seahawks, they have a new owner. All right, finally the Allen family, the Allen Trust, right, the estate, they have new owners there, the Seattle Seahawks and the Seahawks owners, a new owner, the family, they were introduced to the media yesterday, all right. And you tell me if you've ever heard an owner, and that makes sense that you could have a guy who buys a football team and he's a football fan, he's an NFL fan, he probably had a favorite team as well. But have you ever heard an owner say something like this? I also happen to come to this country in 76 when the Steelers were winning the Super Bowl. So actually I was originally and still I'm a big Steelers fan.

Also, a little non-factive, but I still watch all the Steelers games too. That's wonderful. It is a wild thing. Much alike, you guys are also young. You probably don't even remember the height of the 80s Lakers versus Celtics thing when it kind of divided a basketball nation. You either rooted for the Celtics or the Lakers in addition to whatever your local basketball collective was. In the 70s, that was even more so. To this very day, people come up to me and say like, you and I don't get along. Why is that? Because I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan and you're a Steelers guy. Those roots sank so deep for people who are watching football in the 70s. You had your team and either the fancy pancés with the star on the side of their hats or the team built on Braun, where might is right, the black and gold, not black and yellow, Pittsburgh Steelers. The question is though, if I went to a store and I wanted to buy a red t-shirt

and they're like, sorry, red is too popular. It's all sold out, but we have this brown one. You'd be like, yeah, good enough. Just give me the brown one. I can't imagine spending billions and billions of dollars on not your favorite football team.
