No Instructions Needed
In an ever-complicating world, friendships are not easy. Remember what it was like to just sit down and talk about life? From sports to politics, movies, music, and business—and then, most likely, back to sports—we try to simplify all things past, present, and future through the art of argument and discussion. So, no matter how complex the issue may be, remember this: There are... No Instructions Needed.
No Instructions Needed
Bored on a Sunday
Have you ever found yourself in the midst of an internet brawl with wrestling fans over their favorite reporter, only to pivot into a defense of hockey legend PK Subban? Well, that's exactly how we kicked off this episode, with tales of our latest Twitter escapades and a nod to our beloved Konzi's hilarious stories. We promise plenty of laughs and maybe even a lesson or two on keeping it civil in the wild west of social media—especially when Canada's political scene tries to steal the spotlight.
What if the NBA could turn its All-Star game into a national pride showdown like the NHL? That's the juicy question we're tackling as we compare these two sporting events. We toss around ideas like adding real stakes to the games or even spicing up the event with a one-on-one tournament. Brad Marchand's antics might have sparked this discussion, but our passion for elevating the NBA's All-Star weekend keeps the conversation flowing with some creative suggestions.
And for those missing the mayhem of "Blue Mountain State," there's a glimmer of hope. Could Amazon and Alan Richson bring back the beloved comedy with an NFL twist? We muse about possible star cameos and how aging original cast members could still bring the laughs. Meanwhile, Marvel fans might find a spark in the return of smaller projects like Daredevil, even as the MCU's big-screen magic seems to wane. We wrap things up with Chaps' Twitter antics, proving once again that humor and sharp commentary are our podcast's secret sauce.
okay, no instructions needed.
Speaker 3:I, I don't really feel like the poop, like your wiener oh, let me just get that right in the uh, the old camera shot, that's my thought I'm sipping on some red wine.
Speaker 1:Primary use for bitcoin is to get more money.
Speaker 2:Oh, man the coog bar. Yeah, I'm into that. Hello, this fucking ball hardly like I cannot start this at ease.
Speaker 1:I cannot risk it. That's how.
Speaker 2:I go to the bathroom. This is exactly how their walk, running or whatever it is. Oh God, what it do, baby.
Speaker 1:Hello and welcome to another episode of the no Instructions Needed podcast that is coming to you weekly on a bi-yearly basis, and I'll throw it to the grumpy-ish possible boy down in the big van dot How's it going, big D?
Speaker 2:Yeah, pretty good, excited to be back with you. Boys had a bit of a night last night, so I'm running at 50%, but we'll make it through today, hopefully provide some good content for the dozens and dozens of followers that have probably dropped off by now. But we'll figure it out. And, uh, I love you and it's good to see you again. And, julian, what's up?
Speaker 3:not too much, man. I mean it is every time we watch the intro now on our bi-annual episodes. I just miss that. You know, I miss konzi, I miss his stories with his kids, I miss everything. I mean, we had good times and hopefully we'll continue the trend of being able to bring it back for the dozens and dozens of fans listening. But let's send it up to Chaps, because Chaps really wanted to get this going, because I feel like you had a few things to say on the interweb and Chaps is really just going to bat. I don't know if he's kind of trollish or if he's being serious. At times might be a combination of both, but chaps, what happened on the weekly dose of chaps attacks the internet oh, yeah, I think that that whole account has just turned into a pure chaps attacks to everybody.
Speaker 1:But there's a lot of things pissing me off and I don't have a weekly vent spot anymore, so I got to use our Twitter account as that.
Speaker 1:And, yeah, I mean, a couple weeks ago, one of the wrestling fucking we'll call them reporters, even though they're just dirt sheet fucking guys that just get their information from, uh, bottle depot vendors and stupid shit like that, uh, but anyways, he, uh, he tweeted something and I just said do I believe in the guy that always shits on aew or do I believe in the guy that always shits on wwe? That was pretty much my retweet of the tweet that the guy made and he's like give me one example. And then, all of a sudden, all these fucking nerds, these internet cousin fucking nerds that like have no idea about anything that lives outside of a four mile radius of their town, because they have they're just fucking stupid. And they come at me like, oh, you have no idea what you're talking about. Prove one time that he's done this, that and this. And it's like julian has access to our twitter account. It was like it was getting aggressive, like it was.
Speaker 1:It was people were calling me like uh like actually, you know what they're calling me, exactly what I was just going, pretty much so. Anyways, I uh I ended up proving the guy like my point right, like it was a pretty well articulated, pointiculated point, to the point that Sean Sapp, or whatever his name is the wrestling guy. He was just like oh, if that's how you believe that, then good luck, or something like that, like clear signal, clear win for me, for us, on that account. And then the other one was the PK Subban thing. Everyone hated on PK Subban and I don't know what he did wrong.
Speaker 1:Yet I read the tweet. I don't know. I don't know what he meant here. Truthfully, I read the tweet a hundred times. I have no fucking clue what was going on there. People didn't like that, though. Refresh what happened with PK. He just said that the Trizzy train is coming, this is about to get real, and he retweeted Donald Trump's Twitter, or just his, his a tweet. Oh, people need to calm down. Essentially, maybe I need to calm down. Yeah, maybe you need to attack more.
Speaker 3:I was. I was thinking the exact same thing because I was. I was following this back and forth with basically chaps going and just responding to a tweet, and then it came to like this community that just like out of nowhere was like, oh, like you must have a vitamin d deficiency for all the time you spend in your basement. See, like I'm following along and I'm just, I'm just watch, I'm just eating up all I can get of it because chaps is just going back clearly knew that he struck a nerve with people and it just continued to press the soft spot. It was hilarious, it was funny to see, but at no points did Chaps.
Speaker 3:I will say it's very easy in these situations to lower your standards to the type of people that are attacking you. I will say Chaps kept to the high road, got some subtle shots in but like, made his point and never really ventured to like the I mean the cousin fucking analogy that he kind of brought up on the start of the podcast online. He was good podcast venting. Total W for Chaps attacks the WWE W AEW community. Way to go, chaps. Thank the WWE AEW community.
Speaker 1:Way to go, chaps. Thank you, appreciate it. Canada needed another win, so we needed that one. We needed it. That was fun, it was fun in Canada on your back though.
Speaker 3:That's it, man. That is it Speaking of Canada on your back. The whole nation is still buzzing because of all you know the, the political turmoil that's kind of going on with the US and Canada and the fact that you know we dropped the the game in Montreal to the US and then honestly had another heritage moment with big Jesus getting the game winner in overtime very Sid-esque, maybe not on such a high scale, but definitely in a tournament that I think shocked everyone. I mean, you look at like the Pro Bowl glorified you know it is what it is at the end of the season no one kind of really cares. I mean, I think the Patriots have had both Mac Jones and Drake May go and represent on their rookie years kind of nonchalantly.
Speaker 3:The NBA is kind of a joke right now with, you know, wemby and Chris Paul kind of trying to cheat the system and the fact that it's just not as fun anymore. But you have the NHL that decided to say, hey, screw the All-Star break. What we're going to do is create this four-team international tournament for a week with no real buzz around it. It turned out to be arguably the greatest event for an entire week for the sport of hockey. It could not have ended in a better way Canada facing a little adversity, dropping it to the US and then coming back and going into Boston of all places in the States to show up and show out. And Jordan Biddington stood on his head, mcjesus got the goal.
Speaker 3:It's kind of like the passing of the torch from Sid the Kid and shout out to Mitch Marner, exercising some demons in the TD Garden there. What was it like for you guys watching the game? And what's the feel out on the west coast? Because over here in toronto, like the, the place has been buzzing like I go to work and people are still talking about it. Non-hockey fans are really showing out. But what is it like over there in on the west coast? What's the feel for team canada right now?
Speaker 2:yeah, I think people are stoked man, and I didn't really think much of the tournament and I was like it's like an exhibition tournament, more or less right. But you know, it showed just the passion of the players, like when they threw down the American Canada the first game, like three fights in nine seconds, and they just started throwing, start throwing down. Like people get stoked on stuff like that and like it happened kind of simultaneously with the nba all-star game, like you said, which was like a bit of a joke, like the all-star game or the dunk contest, like there's one good dunker, the other guy was okay castle, um, but like yeah, you see, lebron just sit it out, like day of he sits it out. And then you see these guys that are they're not playing for anything really except for bragging rights and passion and they're just throwing down with each other, you know, arguably jeopardizing the rest of their season with injuries and stuff like that, to play for their country. So I think it just really showed the passion.
Speaker 2:There is buzz, like my social media still gets banged up with all these like tweets and memes or not tweets, I guess, memes, reels, that kind of stuff. People were posting it. Um, yeah, it was a good moment, uh, and it was a good w. I think it. I think it kind of builds a lot of excitement too for the olympics next year, yeah, next year, um, so yeah, I think it's a. It was a good show. I think they're gonna really come to play when it comes to the olympics and, yeah, people are stoked, I think you know, and made a lot of new fans at the end of the day I.
Speaker 1:Uh. So when someone asked me what I thought of the tournament like just before we started it started, I said it was dumbest thing I've ever thought about and I probably won't ever. I won't watch a second of it. I then proceeded to see Mario Lemieux come out of the tunnel and I got a raging border. For the rest of it A raging clue. Yeah, it was just as hard as a fucking Dwayne the Rock Johnson bicep Like I. It was just as hard as a fucking Dwayne the Rock Johnson bicep Like it was awesome, man, it was just. It was so well done.
Speaker 1:The players cared, which is the whole buy-in point. They wanted to be there and we needed the win. Canada needed the win. It's been a really really rough five weeks and we needed to win. It's been a really really rough five weeks and we needed to win.
Speaker 1:It was important for our country to have something to have pride in right now and have belief in is a better word. It was good for our country to have belief in something and you know it showed in the ratings 6.2 million canadians watched and 9.3 million americans. Uh, you know there's a lot of dangerous rhetoric with, with saying certain things online right now with state, the number of states and everything. So it was just uh, it was a nice it was, it was fun. It meant something to me. I didn't think it would and I'll. I hate mcdavid and he played like shit the whole fucking tournament too, and then he had to. It was fun. It meant something to me. I didn't think it would. I hate McDavid. He played like shit the whole fucking tournament too. He had to be the one that scored, which sucks he's so fast though. It was awesome, he's so fast he's quick.
Speaker 3:What's more surprising for you? The fact that this tournament did as well as it did, or the fact that someone like Brad Marchand is a glorified Canadian? Now we're like a lot of people have just forgot the kind of shithead that he's been for Boston and kind of became like a beloved member of of this team. Like there's a reason that said the kid gave him the trophy like number two because you know he knows how hard Brad Marchand has worked. But Brad's got that bad rap as as the bad boy from the, from the bruins rightfully so. I mean, he's not like the nicest player, but he became this like beloved guy that everyone was so happy for to be part of this team and to be part of the victory and all that kind of stuff. So like what's what's more surprising to you in in this, uh, in this situation?
Speaker 2:I I not really answering your question, but I like the. I saw a video where, like he, brad Varshon, was talking to Mitch Marner saying like I'll effing kill you and like this is like just tearing up A new one.
Speaker 2:And then after the first game, after Mitch Marner scored in overtime, they're like best buddies, like it just Kind of goes to show like the hockey culture, like you could tell Someone like you're gonna fucking or pooping, like execute them and then like a nail you like, hey, let's go for beers, like that's just the way it's played, and like you know, again, that passion isn't really it's hard to duplicate that, right, it's a different, it's a different game than like your, your basketball, with your prima donnas and stuff like that, who just show up with their, their gucci suits and uh, and they refuse to play. So yeah, um, but I don't have an answer to your question.
Speaker 1:I forgot what you asked. To be honest, I I this. What you just went down was, uh, it was fascinating. Like like everything you just said said was 100% true, because you were trying to figure out what the question was, because you didn't hear it. We're watching the Canuck game in the background and you're like, oh fuck, I got to say something about Brad Marchand. I'll turn that into the NBA. It was absolutely amazing. It was an amazing two minutes and 37 seconds. I don't know how you went from Brad Marchand to the NBA, but you did it so eloquently and beautifully.
Speaker 2:Oh, thank you.
Speaker 1:You're right, though You're so right with what you're saying. Like that tournament was awesome to watch and I cared about Brad Marchand and I'm a Canuck fan. I shouldn't care about Brad Marchand. But you put that into NBA terms and they don't give a shit about the game. They don't give a shit about anything. And yeah, it's a different game because you have to hit people. But look at the All-Star Games in the NHL Like they're just as bad as all the All-Star Games in every other sport. But now you put that Maple Leaf on or that you know that bald eagle on. Now you're starting to that's where the passion comes from and think that, uh, the nba is discussing doing the same thing.
Speaker 3:Uh, just having american versus the world type idea and uh, americans are reportedly scared because they'll they think they'll get dominated in that game and they don't want to show up like that I think it would be great, but I think that if the nba were to go, the nba cannot replicate what what the nhl just did, because they just don't have the diversity just yet. Because if you were to look at the All-Star game, and I have heard that they want to do this kind of thing. There isn't like you can go like starting five internationally. Jokic Luka Shea.
Speaker 2:Actually he's American, I guess now yeah, like I now.
Speaker 3:Um, I'm like you can. You can get it like a starting five, but if you go toe-to-toe with the us, just international to to the us, it gets real thin, filling out that lineup the same way, and and so if I'm given the opportunity, one of the things that I'm saying is how do we make this game relevant? It's the same thing that Major League Baseball does. Have it mean something? Have it mean something that if you win, that team gets home court advantage in the finals, because it's the only way you're going to get buy-in from these athletes, because there's nothing to play for, they don't care about the extra you know 25 000 or 250 grand that they're going to get for being a part of the winning team I
Speaker 3:thought you know, listen, I guess I love chuck, I would, I love, I love. Well, yeah, I mean a regular joe would, but for these guys it doesn't matter. But you gotta get these guys to care about something, and I feel like the only way to do that is for the all-stars on the teams that actually are playing for something have something to aspire to, like. It would be great for a team with when boston's having such a great season but like I don't know, the the west finds a way to win and then all of a sudden they get home court advantage and matters, especially when you get to a game seven with such great teams. Make it mean something. Because, honestly, I know Dean said you know the dunk contest was like eh, matt McClung's not an NBA player, he's not. I mean, when Gerald Green came in many years ago and did, like the birthday cake dunk, he was a D leaguer at that time too.
Speaker 3:He wasn't a guy who's playing regular minutes, he's not an all-star talking one time ago well, yeah, but I mean, like that's the thing, though, from from zach levine and aaron gordon back to like vince carter doing his thing. The all-star game of the dunk contest hasn't been spectacular and I honestly say scrap three-point competition, scrap the rising stars, scrap it all. I would honestly rather them just take a break for these guys to get healthy, because everybody and their mom is going down for like a week, two weeks. Let these teams get a rest and then let them have a great second half. Because Because right now, the product that you're putting on the table for these all-star to showcase your athletes, it ain't happening.
Speaker 3:Lebron sat out because he got injured previous to the all-star game. Anthony Edwards didn't even play and people didn't find out until he wasn't on the actual court itself. So I mean, some of these guys like it's cool, no-transcript, or you just don't have your all-stars put themselves in a position where this is going to be a shit show, because, unfortunately, the nba just got dogged before the four nations and it will continue to get dogged, because now they've gone up against a inferior product from the nhl but a far superior product in the four nations cup the actual all-star game too was whack man, like they.
Speaker 2:They had. Like every commercial break. They had like a 15 minute intermission in the Mr Beastening and a concert. You could tell the players were like let's go, let's play. Instead of having actual basketball players play basketball, they made it into this spectacle. That was so choppy and weird and unnecessary. It's like, yeah, sure, maybe you have a halftime show or you know, with the tournament format they have like maybe do something in between the games, like the first two games. But like every commercial break, like come on man. I remember like changing the channel for 10 minutes and turning it back on and the game still hadn't started again yet. It was just like turning it back on and the game still hadn't started again yet. It was just like it seemed like a desperate attempt to like bring extra pageantry to it to make up for the, for an inferior product, like you said what if?
Speaker 3:what if the NBA said our way of combating the lack of of good all-star game is to have a one-on-one tournament 16 guys, individual two1, and you actually had the stars go up against each other? Is that something that might be more intriguing than what we've seen over recent years?
Speaker 1:uh man, I I haven't watched the nba all-star game in like fucking 30 years.
Speaker 1:So like, uh like I actually the last one I watched was probably, uh, terence ross dunk competition. Whenever that was, yeah. So like that, I'm talking like I I could give a flying fuck about that game because they just don't give a shit at all, so I wouldn't. I'm not intrigued by anything but us versus international. Now that's it, like that's what I want to see, and I think the international wins, like I, just that's would be where where my head would go. So it's, uh, they don't, yeah, they don't have my attention and probably never will, until the players actually start giving a fuck. But it's not just a problem in the all-star game, it's a problem in the whole league. They don't give a fuck until the playoffs and it's just obvious as hell and that's why that league sucks.
Speaker 2:Have you ever tried playing fantasy basketball Like injured, injured, injured, injured. You're like come on, I only got so many IL spots, man.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean, it's certainly tough and the NBA had to change, kind of like I think it was this past offseason on how they were going to do their awards that players had to meet a certain threshold, and I think that's a problem when you have, like your best, guys who are missing time, whether it's you know like Joel Embiid, who's just like historically cursed for injuries, or you know like Joel Embiid, who's just like historically cursed for injuries, or you know you got guys who are off of back-to-backs, ben Simmons, perhaps, maybe, ben Simmons who never plays a fucking basketball game.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think Ben Simmons was more like. It started at least as like hey, I don't want to be here because they don't want me, kind of thing. And then it escalated into how can I just get paid the most amount of money for doing the least amount of work and like ben simmons is like the ultimate, like work from home, like option in the nba, where he's a guy who wants a salary, who doesn't want to do fuck all for it and uh, I mean, let's see he's on the clippers now which clipper is probably best best NBA stadium in the league now and still the most? Like abysmal product for what they're putting forward Washrooms, toilets, toilets toilets.
Speaker 3:Yeah. So I've had friends who have gone and said, honestly, basketball experience one of the greatest arenas, one of the coolest things because there's no TVs in the concourse and stuff. The only time you get in the game is when you're sitting in your seats and there's no TVs in the concourse and stuff. The only time you get in the game is when you're sitting in your seats and there's like tons of toilets, Tons of legitimate toilets. It is great, but the product just hasn't been there. One of your biggest stars, Wemby, go down with a blood clot out for the season.
Speaker 3:The only thing that I thought that saved the NBA this year was Luka getting traded to the Lakers and making LA great the nba this year was luca getting traded to the lakers and making la great fucking and the way that that happened was the greatest moment in everyone keeping their mouth shut and, overnight, basically stealing a superstar from one organization and bring them to an organization that is the second most decorated if you don't't count the Minneapolis championships in NBA history. So Luka, lebron, jj, made the Lakers relevant again and, honestly, just shocked the entire world. In this scenario, chaps and Dean, I'll throw this out to you guys. I'll throw this out to you guys. What would be the most equivalent trade as far as NFL teams go the Luka to LA for Anthony Davis. What would that look like in terms of an NFL deal that gets done mid-season?
Speaker 1:Joe Burrow for matthew stafford. You have a vet that's won the championship getting traded for a young up and coming uh, or not even upcoming young in their quarterback that's already taken his team to a championship and lost. That's what that would be for me. I like that one.
Speaker 3:I like that one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I can agree with Chaps on that one. Wow, I can agree with young Daps Because if you think about it In terms of NFL, it's been like Chiefs and Eagles They've been there a lot. Or San Francisco Brock Purdy is not worth that much. So, yeah, I can agree with that.
Speaker 3:I'm thinking like Herbie. If Herbie were to get traded at like the NFL deadline, who's the comp going back? Because the reality is like you have this young guy in Luka who, like, is the face of the sport, but they're coming in saying you know, he's got like work ethic issues because he's too fat and obviously Herbie doesn't have that. But Herbie's been, you know, he hasn't developed the same way that a lot of people have thought he would. Maybe throws the ball too hard to some soft-ass NFL receivers that don't have good hands. But like what vet would be the guy? That would be? Like Aaron Rodgers, another guy who hasn't been great but has won a championship, a guy who can't stay healthy either. He's got his own issues and is not the same guy that was once thought of Because to me that's kind of adjacent to what Shapp said A Herbie for Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3:And you're clearly saying what were or whoever Aaron Rodgers plays for this year, clearly saying what were or whoever aaron rogers plays for this year. What were they thinking trading this guy for? I'm sorry, I guess it'd be the chargers, one of the chargers thinking for trading away their young stud for a guy who, equally, can't produce the same way that he used to in the past yeah, I'm sorry I just watched the shit.
Speaker 1:I just watched the referee get hit right in the fucking nuts with the puck and like he was almost dying and I just it was just what like can? I can't imagine a worse place than getting hit in the nuts, than like in front of 20 000 people like you're sitting there and everyone knows you just got hit in the nuts. So now you either either have to fake this for a couple minutes Cause you got a small dick, or like really fucking hurts, like I can't. I can't imagine the worst scenario of that, because everyone knows your peepee just got hit. I don't know.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, I've been thinking about that for the last five minutes. So that's cool. I got something I would like to speak about. Okay, change direction a little bit. May I? Yeah, go for it. Did you guys see that Alan Richston, star of Jack Reacher, said that they're working on bringing possibly the group's favorite collective show, blue Mountain State, back for another year? Yes, yes, julian, you can't see it, but he is excited.
Speaker 3:Yes, I did hear about this like, maybe like last last year, that they were trying to get the band back together. What that looks like, I don't know. And also like the fact that Alan Richson, like on the internet, is like the most religious man, holding like church on Sundays on Instagram and sharing the gospel and all this kind of stuff. And to now know that this guy exists and then that castle is going to come back to bms. Listen, if you can make it work. It all depends on what streaming platform is going to pick it up. It's amazon. Well, oh, because of, probably because of their success of reach that makes total sense, and they have blue mountains, 8 on amazon too.
Speaker 3:As it stands right now, I think it would be if they could go back and capture what made it amazing and then do that in 2026 and make it even more amazing. My God, people will be in store for one of the greatest comedic and fun and entertaining football shows of all time. There's nothing like that right now and I think that would be fantastic.
Speaker 1:Like with the budget they could have on this too, it would look better because it's going to be bigger. So there's going to be more going on. Now you've had a generation of football players that watched that show growing up there. Now in the NFL You're going to be able to pull because Amazon has the NFL rights too. Right, there's so much you could fucking do with it. I would, man, I'm very excited. When I read that, I actually was like super jacked up for it, because I just can't. I can't imagine a better place for it to go than Amazon. Like I just can't. I mean Netflix, obviously, but just the access that Amazon has right now to the NFL and stuff. Bill Belichick's going to be in this fucking show. You know he's going to be there and they'll make a joke about him recruiting all the guy's girlfriends or something like that. That's going to be in there 100%. It's going to be wicked. It's going to be wicked, wicked, smat.
Speaker 3:Wicked smat, Wicked smat. Who would you guys want to see on Blue Mountain State as the NFL appearances? Who would you want to play a character? Who do you think would be the most fun character to see on BMS?
Speaker 2:Well, I wouldn't say this is most fun, but possibly the best acting one. B John Robinson is he. He was on what was he on? Outer bank season four. Like he wants to fully be an actor after, like he's done in the nfl, and I think I feel like who's the guy that played for oakland? That's now like a fairly big size actor, now an md asimog. He's married to carrie washington, or at least was at one time like I think he might be like mentoring him a little bit, or someone was mentoring him.
Speaker 1:Um, so yeah, bijan might have the chops to do it, and that's all I'm saying give me like marshall lynch for sure in this thing, uh, and then give me Brett Favre in it too. If he was willing to play with some of his misguidings and stuff like that, which he wouldn't, you could do a lot with Brett Favre. It would be hilarious.
Speaker 2:Brett would obviously.
Speaker 3:Brett.
Speaker 1:Favre would be fun.
Speaker 3:Wrong JJ? Would Brett Favre play a corrupt congressman stealing money from?
Speaker 1:the university. If you could incorporate that in, that's what I'm saying. Marshawn Lynch, he'll make fun of himself. I don't know there's a lot there, but Pat McAfee would be good for a couple episodes, I think, something like that. You don't just want guys in there now, you like. You want guys from the past. You like brian erlacher, just as like a linebacker coach with a whole fucking tin of chew in his mouth the whole time. It's like fuck, yeah, give me that give me in the longest yard.
Speaker 3:Yes, great great one as well that's a great one.
Speaker 1:give me andy reed too, just because, like there's a lot, you could Give me Andy Reid too, just because there's a lot you could do with him. He's just sitting there behind his, he has his play calling sheet and he's eating a cheeseburger. I don't know.
Speaker 3:Give me John Gruden. He's not getting paid enough to barf. Give me John Gruden. Give me JJ Watt. I think JJ Watt would be a great nemesis for Thad Castle. I think that would be just a great, great battle. And then, yeah, give me Brett Favre's Senate dick pics. Give me Aaron Rodgers as a Schwammy.
Speaker 1:But you know what, even if they don't show up and they're just, if these aren't the actual people in it, but these are the people they're referencing for it, that's even better because you can do so now. You don't need permissions, you just got to be a, you know, a kind of jacked mississippi man and everyone's like brett farve. Yeah, it's gonna be great. It's just. I can't wait because it's gonna be so smart. It's gonna be that they're gonna hire good writers.
Speaker 1:It's not gonna be a fan sourced movie like we got with the the thad castle land or whatever yeah, like this isn't gonna be 150 000 movie, this is gonna be, like you know, a two million dollar episode, like per episode.
Speaker 3:So it's gonna be wicked. The only, the only thing that concerns me is if you've seen the cast outside of Allen Ritson, they didn't age so well.
Speaker 1:There's probably some people in jail, some people dead. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3:I mean, like Alex Moran didn't age so well he looks good.
Speaker 2:I've seen him recently. He looks good.
Speaker 3:He's got a famous wife, does he not? I?
Speaker 2:think she's hot regardless.
Speaker 3:But I've seen him. I've seen the other guy who plays alex's best friend also on there. He's like aged, all right, but I would love to see, like the shiloh, like I want to see craig shiloh yeah, I want to see them bring back some of the guys who were on the show previously as well and just find a way to incorporate Shiloh went to jail. In real life, oh no, oh wait, I think you might be right, because he was in Dean. He was in Smallville, was he not?
Speaker 2:I never watched that, oh geez.
Speaker 3:I'm pretty sure he played like a guy in Smallville as well. It'd be interesting. Listen, I think if Amazon takes over, sky's the limit big budget, short seasons. Look at what they've done with the boys. I think you could definitely do some amazing things and then incorporate that NFL and then NIL too. Right, they were kind of not really early on to NIL, but they definitely referenced the fact that, like, shady shit goes on in college. I think it would be. I think it'd be pretty, pretty cool. And if they could get the rights to like include college football playoff kind of thing, be able to reference it, I think it'd be pretty, pretty solid.
Speaker 3:And that's what right now we're missing. Like the last good football tv show has to be friday night lights. I don't know if there was anything after that one. Um, and apparently friday night lights apparently getting a reboot as well in 2020. So that's also uh, it's also a big one. So, yeah, sky's the limit. I think that would be fucking fantastic, definitely maybe more to look forward to than the Office reboot or some of the other reboots that we're going to get in the next two to three years.
Speaker 1:How excited are you guys for Superman? What's the scale? What's the scale? I think I'm about the same, but no the quietness when I said that I'm about the same. I'm a little nervous about it. I think it looks a little corny.
Speaker 2:I saw something online. It's like it was the girl that plays Lois Lane and she is a lady that has she is a well-endowed lady, you could say and she was wearing like this dress for like a award show or something and they were out and it's like two reasons to watch the new Superman movie.
Speaker 1:I don't think you see that much.
Speaker 3:I think there's too much pressure on this movie to do well and I just think they're going to try to do too much.
Speaker 3:And we can see what you know, superhero movies have kind of gone to do over the last five years Deadpool with the exception, because I still think Deadpool was funny as hell and they did their thing.
Speaker 3:But outside of that every comic book entity has kind of struggled and I don't think like I really wish that there was like nothing for like five years to kind of get like the superhero fatigue kind of gone. But I have a feeling that there's way too much pressure on James Gunn to be able to do this and I think major franchises like this are going to fail, whereas you can have solo projects like the Batman come with the Penguin and then Batman 2 and have extreme success, unlike the major franchises that we're about to see. I mean I'm really hopeful for Green Lantern. I mean I think, or sorry, the Lanterns. I think that's really it's going to be a really cool show, but I think it's going to be intermittent with some of the projects and as a whole, I think I don't know. I think Superman, as much as people say, it's too big to fail because it's like a cornerstone franchise. It's failed every time.
Speaker 3:I don't think it's going to be. I think man of Steel was the last time Superman was kind of relevant and I thought he was great in that movie. But outside of that I think they're in trouble.
Speaker 1:I think it's about the costume man. I think it's a tough costume to make relevant Because everyone's like, oh, it's a tough costume to make relevant, like I, just because everyone's like, oh, it's so iconic. But you don't see kids dressed up as them, like, like it's superman is. This, is this one superhero that's arguably the biggest superhero ever. You could make that argument pretty easily, but no one gives a fuck about them and no one wants to see those movies like they want to see batman, they want to see spider-man, they want to see this shit like that, but that's what they want to see batman, they want to see spider-man, they want to see shit like that, but that's what they want to see. They don't want to see superman and uh and and kind of captain american movies, too, other than the winter soldier, uh, how and slap though that was a good movie no, no. But what I'm just saying is like, yes, it's the best, the best it is, it is, it absolutely is. There isn't one that's better.
Speaker 2:I know.
Speaker 1:Are you fucking with me here right now?
Speaker 2:It's my favorite Marvel movie. It's a great.
Speaker 3:Marvel movie. It was dark and it was awesome.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, but anyways, no one wants to see the Superman. I don't know.
Speaker 2:No one wants to see the new Captain now, though, like I think it's, I accept me I do.
Speaker 3:But you know I'm committed to the cause I was more intrigued to see sonic 3 than I was to see any comic book movie coming out in the next like five years and so I watched that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I watched that two nights ago, yeah love me.
Speaker 1:So good, so good. It's the best. I think jim carrey should be nominated for an oscar for that movie, like I might have a joke.
Speaker 3:I'm dead. 100. Serious I am. I am 100 with you. He was so good as dr egghead and grandpa egghead and it was awesome his character showed Grandpa Egghead. It was awesome His character showed so much range.
Speaker 1:He was awesome. It legitimately showed range within that character. It's crazy.
Speaker 3:I think Jim Carrey not being even if it's best supporting actor, he's got to get some sort of love in there. Even Mufasa wasn't that bad. The origin story of Scar was interesting, but I feel like I would watch these movies over. Captain america, brave new world.
Speaker 1:I just love this full circle moment of this pod, like clint, clint, clint, just saying the end is coming for mcu, you guys poo-pooing all over me, and then this, just the slow cracks in the dam started coming, and then I just became more right and more right and then boom, she burst in with the fucking flow. Where julian just said on this podcast he is not excited for a fucking comic book movie in the next five years.
Speaker 2:Boom, boom Boom. Let me have a slight rebuttal though. A slight rebuttal, a flight rebuttal. Daredevil comes out in like a week and a half.
Speaker 3:I'm in, I'm in, I'm so in. On Daredevil, give me Matt Murdock, give me Charlie Cox, give me Vincent D'Onofrio, give me all of the things. If this show slaps because it's like 20 episodes, if this goes back to the way it was on Netflix, I can see the shows being the thing that revives this, and not the big major projects and you're going to have like I said, the penguin is kind of the one-off right Because the penguin is going to be part of the of the DC universe.
Speaker 3:As far as things that come up for content, Batman is going to separate itself from all of the other stuff like the Joker and the Superman's and the lanterns and all this kind of stuff. You can have individual success with some of these smaller projects that will still keep the fire alive and be the thing that can kind of save it, but it's not going to be the total catalog that we saw during the infinity war saga, where every movie was must watch movie to get to where we were ending with endgame. I think that, uh, Give me Charlie Cox that shit.
Speaker 2:Give me a little Fulton Reed.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, give me From the.
Speaker 2:Mighty Ducks. Hell of a clapper. Hell of a clapper.
Speaker 3:Big time clapper. He played Soggy.
Speaker 2:He played at his lawyer's, the lawyer office, yeah it's like his partner and and and and and Jon Bernthal back as Punisher. Get out of town. Get out of town, let's go.
Speaker 3:Like hit me Also, bullseye coming back, like they brought the band back together.
Speaker 2:Yaks.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they also brought back the girl. She's coming back for a few episodes as well. So I mean, disney gave a shit because they had, I think, half the season filmed and the exec saw it and said scrap everything, fire everyone. We're not keeping any of this, we're going to start again to get to where we need to go. We will see how it ends up because the last few Marvel properties have not been great, even TV show-wise, from Echo Agatha I liked Echo, you liked it, but it wasn't great.
Speaker 2:It was like a little unsung hero. I thought the new Spider-Man animated show Slaps.
Speaker 3:Homecoming's sick. Yeah, it slaps, Except they like they Disney'd it.
Speaker 2:Like I won't go into. They Disney'd it oh.
Speaker 1:Okay, I get it.
Speaker 2:I'm back. Yeah, they Disney'd it. Some is cool, but it was full overhaul.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what's happening in some of these places.
Speaker 2:Hot Aunt May. Hot animated Aunt May. That's a win which is an improvement. I don't know Our initial Spider-Man, aunt May, I mean that's a win which is an improvement, I don't know.
Speaker 3:Our initial Spider-Man, aunt May, was like super old and lovable, but then, once we got Marissa, Tomei, what's going on with Aunt? May. Once Marissa Tomei came in as Aunt May, that was okay, clear direction. Aunt May is going to be hot. Now everyone wants to bang her.
Speaker 2:Marissa Tomei. Is this Tomei so bad? She's so bad though.
Speaker 1:Like she's bad. Yeah, like she's bad.
Speaker 2:I was like man, she was pretty good, no not like as a backfris. She's bad though.
Speaker 3:She's bad with like 5 A's Bad. She's been bad for like 20 years.
Speaker 2:She was in the wrestler she was.
Speaker 3:She was a wrestler.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she was a stripper, she was nice, she was like 45 probably when she did that. Shut up Marcy, she's also out Smoking meth right after that.
Speaker 3:So, dean, I know we're going to wrap up the show soon, but I will tell you, chaps has been on fire with the Twitter game, started with the wrestling community but ended off on the highest of high notes where he nominated a new health minister for a foreign national contest. It was the funniest shit. If you guys don't know, if you're not ogs, you know. No instruction, need podcast listeners. When we were dropping apps on the regular. If you go back into the archives and you search, I want to say the health minister of belgium.
Speaker 3:I could be wrong if that's not the country, but but it's going to be one of those European countries the health minister Chaps doubled down on some vintage NIN shit in the last two weeks and had a nomination of a future health minister. My God, I was on the floor dying for quite some time because Chaps nailed it on the head and it's some funny shit. So if you're not following us on Twitter, please do, because you're going to get some great stuff. If you follow us on no other platform but listening to this, it's Twitter X, whatever the fuck you want to call it. Go check out no Instructions on the New Podcast, on the Twitter game and you, I promise, you, promise you you will be entertained, definitely offended, definitely offended, definitely offended. But like it is some of the funniest shit and, dean, if chaps will get you like a screenshot of what it was or something, send it to the group chat. Shit was fire, so funny.
Speaker 1:It was the one, it's the, the woman that's doing Uber right now because she couldn't fit in the cab, or whatever. I don't know about that. This is the new health minister. Health minister from Belgium. It was fantastic.
Speaker 2:Did it just be an Uber XL, or what?
Speaker 1:Well, it should have been an Uber XXX Okay. Okay.
Speaker 3:It's just so stupid.
Speaker 1:It's just so stupid. It's just so stupid. She's suing him because she couldn't fit in and the guy wanted to protect his car. That's what happened.
Speaker 3:It's some serious Michael Scott shit. It's like you could see that happening on an episode of the Office and it's just fucking hilarious.
Speaker 1:You could drive his car down the road and see his's raining outside.
Speaker 3:There's a big, big lady that needs to ride.
Speaker 1:He's just like I don't know. It slowly drives away. It's so funny, but it's so true, it's just true, that's a great spot to end this episode.
Speaker 3:Boys, it has been Absolute pleasure seeing you again. Let's do this again sometime soon.
Speaker 2:I think I got some time open in August.
Speaker 1:Yeah, me too. See you guys later, bye, bye, bye y'all ah too good.
