00;02;44;13 - 00;02;45;00

Yes.

00;02;45;17 - 00;03;01;17
Rob Lee
I don't know if you're Ulysses here over you. Remedies. So this is let's watch again and we're going to review 1990 threes CB for so thank you for joining me Greg good to see here you're living well.

00;03;03;01 - 00;03;07;02
Just Greg
Seems to be it is okay step master arson on a one to.

00;03;07;09 - 00;03;07;19
Speaker 2
That.

00;03;08;02 - 00;03;37;26
Rob Lee
So let me do the intro for this and then give out some details. I can get you some things. Okay, so here's the thing and I want you to keep me honest here. When it comes to the the synopsis. So here's the synopsis. After many failed attempts to establish themselves as rappers, Albert, played by Chris Rock, Euripides played by Allen Payne and Otis played by Deezer D get their big break when a nightclub owner Gusto, played by Charlie Murphy, is arrested, Albert assumes his name and criminal paths becoming emcee.

00;03;37;28 - 00;03;53;11
Rob Lee
Gusto and the trio rise to fame, pretending to be recently released felons. As their fame increases, so do their tension within the group. And when Gusto escapes from prison, he is furious at having his identity stolen and vows revenge.

00;03;53;21 - 00;03;56;23
Just Greg
CB4 says about Yeah.

00;03;56;23 - 00;03;59;05
Rob Lee
It's very accurate actually. He did a really good job.

00;03;59;19 - 00;04;02;27
Just Greg
They skipped the b-plot, but the B-Plot really doesn't matter.

00;04;03;07 - 00;04;11;01
Rob Lee
The the the documentary framing mechanism, the politician. Oh yeah, yeah. That. Phil Hartman.

00;04;11;25 - 00;04;12;05
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00;04;13;12 - 00;04;37;12
Rob Lee
You can't trust us. Trust is so here's some of the details on it. This was released in March of March 12th of 1993. So 30th anniversary. And this is directed by Tamra Davis. Do you know what else Tamra Davis directed that would fall into that sort of vein of movie? It's a big one. She also directed Half Baked.

00;04;38;17 - 00;04;40;10
Just Greg
Oh for Chapelle. Okay.

00;04;40;28 - 00;04;46;00
Rob Lee
It kind of has that sort of same sensibility of this. It's a similar type of humor.

00;04;46;00 - 00;04;46;19
Just Greg
It does.

00;04;47;14 - 00;04;57;29
Rob Lee
So this movie had a box office. Well, let me talk about the budget first. So the budget was 6 million for 1990 $3 and it had a budget I mean, it had a box office of 18 million.

00;04;58;26 - 00;05;00;15
Just Greg
So of course I was going to say 20.

00;05;00;27 - 00;05;20;23
Rob Lee
So it made three times what it cost. Now, we never really talk about the marketing for these movies that we didn't like. They need to start really putting in like, what did you spend on marketing? Now, this probably didn't have a huge marketing budget, but still now. So the writers, it's the writers. It's great who the writers are.

00;05;21;03 - 00;05;31;13
Rob Lee
So Chris Rock, George Nelson, I mean, Nelson, George sorry. And lastly, who did Springbok Locash? It's pretty strong, right?

00;05;31;13 - 00;05;32;19
Just Greg
It's straight out of.

00;05;32;21 - 00;05;35;05
Speaker 2
Okay, crazy motherfucker. Number mark.

00;05;35;22 - 00;05;58;14
Rob Lee
So this now one of the things I'd like to add in here when I do these, I like to get into the numbers. Right. So what are the other numbers that's a part of this sort of scenario is how it was received, right? So I know that we know that the rotten tomatoes of the world, a little corrupted in that, you know, things seem to be a lot lower than some of the contemporaries.

00;05;58;23 - 00;06;08;15
Rob Lee
So like I use a combination Rotten Tomatoes, I have the imdb.com, voodoo and and Google to get a sense of where where's this movie and sometimes letter box as well.

00;06;09;03 - 00;06;10;14
Just Greg
Letterboxes and say.

00;06;10;19 - 00;06;17;27
Rob Lee
I love letter box. One of the things that the COO does, she will read the one sentence reviews.

00;06;17;27 - 00;06;18;16
Speaker 2
They're never good.

00;06;19;29 - 00;06;23;24
Rob Lee
So CB4 has a 6.2 out of ten on IMDB.com.

00;06;24;09 - 00;06;26;20
Speaker 2
She's not that.

00;06;26;25 - 00;06;28;27
Just Greg
Bad. Not bad for a black film.

00;06;29;05 - 00;06;30;23
Rob Lee
A nineties. Black stone, by the way.

00;06;30;24 - 00;06;32;09
Just Greg
Nineties Black film. Yeah.

00;06;32;27 - 00;06;35;29
Rob Lee
Rotten Tomatoes 52.

00;06;35;29 - 00;06;37;24
Just Greg
Not bad for a black comedy.

00;06;37;24 - 00;06;53;12
Rob Lee
Voodoo 81 I mean well, but 82. So it's 4.1 out of five. Okay, that's good. Google is the one is the done DA in my opinion. That's the Google users. 70, 76.

00;06;53;12 - 00;06;54;01
Just Greg
That's a good number.

00;06;54;01 - 00;07;13;04
Rob Lee
That's that's about it. That's about right it's like that's about right. 75 movie is like you got early Chris Rock and you have is a few very memorable things in it and one of which you know obviously you know all of them, but one of which that's definitely the forefront of like I'm black. Yeah, it's just you. It is you put up with this.

00;07;13;04 - 00;07;13;12
Rob Lee
Yeah.

00;07;14;21 - 00;07;15;09
Speaker 2
How many.

00;07;15;23 - 00;07;23;06
Rob Lee
Is this? Like the second movie where you're Allen Payne? You didn't do the first.

00;07;23;15 - 00;07;24;06
Just Greg
Ellen Page This.

00;07;24;06 - 00;07;27;17
Rob Lee
Is the second movie that's been on this podcast that you've been. Allen Payne It.

00;07;28;10 - 00;07;28;25
Speaker 2
Said.

00;07;29;10 - 00;07;31;20
Just Greg
I might be Allen because he is light skinned.

00;07;31;20 - 00;07;35;26
Rob Lee
Omar No, no, no. The first one we I think we made you.

00;07;36;00 - 00;07;37;00
Speaker 2
Chris Christie.

00;07;38;00 - 00;07;39;21
Rob Lee
It's pretty mother fucker. Never liked him anyway.

00;07;40;15 - 00;07;42;15
Just Greg
Oh you made me Christopher Williams. The new Jack.

00;07;42;19 - 00;07;45;01
Speaker 2
Yes she's talking.

00;07;45;02 - 00;07;45;14
Rob Lee
Made you that.

00;07;45;14 - 00;07;45;27
Speaker 2
Actually.

00;07;46;29 - 00;07;50;11
Just Greg
What Christopher.

00;07;50;11 - 00;07;51;22
Speaker 2
He's the one that doesn't belong here.

00;07;51;28 - 00;07;56;17
Just Greg
He does. He did it all pretty motherfucker.

00;07;56;18 - 00;08;05;25
Rob Lee
Love you anyway. So this movie has has two taglines. Do you have any idea what they can be?

00;08;06;20 - 00;08;09;04
Just Greg
I am afraid to find out.

00;08;09;04 - 00;08;25;06
Rob Lee
So, you know, one of the things I'd like to add again with with in terms of numbers, right. I like having taglines or body counts when you have a movie. So the taglines for this, they're not good sex rhymes and keeping it real. There's another one.

00;08;25;09 - 00;08;26;07
Just Greg
That was written, by the way.

00;08;26;07 - 00;08;30;14
Rob Lee
Person number two is sex, rap and family values. Question mark.

00;08;31;21 - 00;08;33;04
Just Greg
As definitely run by a white.

00;08;33;04 - 00;08;34;25
Speaker 2
Person. Neither of them are good.

00;08;35;18 - 00;08;36;23
Just Greg
They're real bad.

00;08;37;19 - 00;08;39;26
Rob Lee
All right, so do you want to get fake.

00;08;39;26 - 00;08;42;10
Just Greg
It till you make it? It was right there. Yeah.

00;08;43;00 - 00;08;56;25
Rob Lee
Do you want to get into question? So the way that we want to structured is we got questions, we got some observations, we got trivia. We get the MVP of the movie, which is probably going to last anyway, and we got favorite scenes. What do you think.

00;08;56;25 - 00;08;58;09
Speaker 2
We should go talk to?

00;08;58;09 - 00;09;01;20
Just Greg
Oh, really? Go to questions first. We can knock them out.

00;09;02;07 - 00;09;11;00
Rob Lee
Well, these are questions that once you're in the movie, though, like, all right, let me throw it out there. I think you'll have I don't like the questions.

00;09;11;28 - 00;09;12;06
Speaker 2
Oh.

00;09;12;25 - 00;09;22;11
Rob Lee
So here's the questions that I have for you is see, before and hallucination of kooky from new jack city.

00;09;22;11 - 00;09;23;05
Just Greg
That's a good question.

00;09;23;13 - 00;09;24;10
Rob Lee
That's a great question.

00;09;24;10 - 00;09;38;25
Just Greg
Actually, that's a great question. It could be that could be the alternate universe because does an easy, easy existence see me for any like straight out bizarre. Well interviewer saw.

00;09;38;27 - 00;09;39;10
Rob Lee
You.

00;09;39;10 - 00;09;46;01
Just Greg
And instead of straight a company straight a little case so it could be that's actually a pretty good question. Well.

00;09;46;11 - 00;09;55;17
Rob Lee
Here's the reason why I think it falls in there. Given Alan Payne a boys murder part before he gets thrown off the building or whatever they are, boys, before he realizes this.

00;09;55;17 - 00;09;56;19
Speaker 2
Nick is high.

00;09;57;02 - 00;10;01;07
Rob Lee
You know that that's happening. But also Ice-T is in both of the movies.

00;10;02;23 - 00;10;03;29
Just Greg
You miss one more person.

00;10;04;02 - 00;10;04;22
Rob Lee
Who's the other person?

00;10;05;09 - 00;10;06;22
Just Greg
Favorite flavor of both movies.

00;10;06;29 - 00;10;09;06
Rob Lee
Oh, shit. He is good on you going. Yeah. Yeah.

00;10;09;11 - 00;10;09;29
Speaker 2
This is what other.

00;10;11;15 - 00;10;14;10
Rob Lee
Remember what I see. So he's made a hard man he showed me the gun.

00;10;14;12 - 00;10;19;10
Speaker 2
I is like, yo he's like, I'm leaving. You don't know it all.

00;10;19;10 - 00;10;20;00
Just Greg
You're afraid.

00;10;20;03 - 00;10;21;06
Speaker 2
Of your dream.

00;10;21;28 - 00;10;23;28
Just Greg
Because I see is like, okay.

00;10;23;28 - 00;10;25;12
Speaker 2
They are dangerous.

00;10;26;25 - 00;10;32;18
Just Greg
You know, like in the movie, he's the first see I see is fuck him out like.

00;10;35;11 - 00;10;35;21
Speaker 2
You know.

00;10;35;21 - 00;10;37;05
Rob Lee
What this is what his body exist.

00;10;37;14 - 00;10;38;18
Speaker 2
That is a great observation.

00;10;39;04 - 00;10;51;20
Rob Lee
I'm all right on a scale since as you know rap, right? The bars please just rate the balls bars for a look.

00;10;52;13 - 00;10;57;05
Just Greg
The name gusto. Oh, fuck you, bitch. Because your bitch was a big coke. Oh, fuck you, sister.

00;10;58;09 - 00;11;00;17
Speaker 2
Oh, fuck you, your grandmother bitches to fat.

00;11;01;19 - 00;11;03;10
Rob Lee
Right? Those bars, please. That's not.

00;11;03;10 - 00;11;06;07
Just Greg
That's a nine, isn't it? 90.

00;11;07;01 - 00;11;10;01
Speaker 2
And like you can use that for.

00;11;10;03 - 00;11;18;25
Just Greg
No like we're not going to the barbershop to get a haircut. No, no, we're going right outside the book. Your sister, your cat and your mom.

00;11;19;08 - 00;11;19;26
Speaker 2
Because you see.

00;11;20;05 - 00;11;22;29
Rob Lee
Beastie Ality, you know, we're just here. We were out here so.

00;11;23;00 - 00;11;28;27
Just Greg
I would say Gusto had the bars is dead. Mike was bad like.

00;11;29;22 - 00;11;35;24
Speaker 2
Say a little kid from a fucking gig might bring you over.

00;11;37;02 - 00;11;42;01
Just Greg
Looking for leaf clover. Oh, yeah.

00;11;42;01 - 00;11;48;14
Rob Lee
You know, what do they call them? When is one dude as obviously not good? That's in the group. It's like, oh, that's for you, right? Right.

00;11;48;14 - 00;11;50;09
Speaker 2
There were.

00;11;50;25 - 00;11;52;02
Just Greg
Other. He's PD. Craig.

00;11;53;06 - 00;11;54;03
Speaker 2
Oh, my God.

00;11;54;26 - 00;11;58;16
Rob Lee
Now, okay, I've got one question I'm going to save for later. I'm a little bit later in here.

00;11;59;08 - 00;12;00;19
Just Greg
Okay.

00;12;00;19 - 00;12;01;02
Rob Lee
How much would you.

00;12;01;02 - 00;12;01;16
Speaker 2
Pay.

00;12;01;27 - 00;12;07;19
Rob Lee
For a CB for hat like the cap, the visor joint like in today's dollars.

00;12;08;12 - 00;12;10;26
Just Greg
20, 20, 25?

00;12;10;26 - 00;12;19;07
Rob Lee
But this is this is all one set one this is not a recreation. This is literally a prop on set. This is a prop from the movie, but it's literally the hat that you could wear.

00;12;19;23 - 00;12;22;21
Just Greg
I kind of have a principle. I don't go over $40 for a hat.

00;12;23;14 - 00;12;25;24
Rob Lee
It's a prop, though. So it's not a hat anymore. It's a prop.

00;12;26;24 - 00;12;31;24
Just Greg
Okay. So I'll probably say in that scenario, probably 60.

00;12;32;09 - 00;12;34;27
Rob Lee
Okay, that's a good number. I was thinking about 50.

00;12;35;16 - 00;12;36;02
Just Greg
Okay.

00;12;36;07 - 00;12;40;10
Rob Lee
I mean, you see somebody walking around with a CB forehead immediately. I always go, But how you doing?

00;12;40;10 - 00;12;41;21
Speaker 2
He's one of the goats.

00;12;42;18 - 00;12;47;11
Just Greg
Because it'll be like, Yo, what's wrong with gusto?

00;12;47;11 - 00;12;51;23
Rob Lee
Was there movie with better 1990s hair product.

00;12;54;03 - 00;12;54;29
Just Greg
Coming to America?

00;12;55;25 - 00;12;57;06
Rob Lee
That was a 1989 movie though.

00;12;57;26 - 00;13;00;24
Just Greg
Oh a shirts of the nineties.

00;13;02;10 - 00;13;09;12
Rob Lee
Because I mean easy mentions he's like, you need to get there which allowed his hair do what I do.

00;13;09;12 - 00;13;14;29
Just Greg
And there were some wild earth hairstyles because since he had all the hairstyles.

00;13;15;16 - 00;13;17;01
Speaker 2
You man.

00;13;17;01 - 00;13;27;11
Rob Lee
It's a lot of hair, it's a lot of movie because you get you get like just the different it's almost regressive in some ways. It's like.

00;13;27;21 - 00;13;28;03
Speaker 2
Mm.

00;13;28;12 - 00;13;36;26
Rob Lee
Jerry Curls have become a smaller. Sarah You got more of like the Duke, you know what I mean? Versus just let's just attach a Jerry Curl merkin to his head.

00;13;36;26 - 00;13;39;07
Just Greg
If in New York City. Kimmel What? 91.

00;13;39;13 - 00;13;42;02
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00;13;42;02 - 00;13;42;29
Just Greg
I think you're right.

00;13;43;02 - 00;13;43;13
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00;13;44;06 - 00;13;45;18
Just Greg
Yeah, I think this is Pookie.

00;13;45;29 - 00;13;48;18
Rob Lee
Yeah.

00;13;48;18 - 00;13;49;14
Speaker 2
Oh, my God.

00;13;50;20 - 00;14;14;04
Rob Lee
So, yeah, it's like the thing I was touching on earlier. The next question I have, you know, with the Tamara Davis thing, could what happened to like this sort of black almost slapstick at times like but good movies? It's a lot of like I didn't really do this number but sort of the laughs per minute. There's a lot of funny things, especially like the phone sex line thing, which is you did.

00;14;14;04 - 00;14;15;12
Speaker 2
Yeah, you both.

00;14;15;25 - 00;14;17;24
Rob Lee
Yeah, you big balls. It just big.

00;14;20;02 - 00;14;27;01
Speaker 2
So but now you can do that movie. Don't do you see. No you get really funny if you.

00;14;27;01 - 00;14;36;04
Rob Lee
Were stopped short because there's the part where it is like what is it, what is it, a one 800 this or something like that. And he's like, Yeah, you kiss my.

00;14;36;04 - 00;14;43;00
Speaker 2
Ass, you know, he's right there. Yeah, it is hilarious.

00;14;44;18 - 00;14;46;13
Just Greg
There's too many good scenes in this movie.

00;14;46;26 - 00;14;47;21
Speaker 2
I think.

00;14;48;05 - 00;15;07;03
Rob Lee
I think what would happen. And so so that's that's the question though still like why is it that these movies I think upon rewatch they're actually really funny even you know even now like you know movies 30 years old your came out you were came out the same year this movie came out and.

00;15;07;07 - 00;15;08;10
Just Greg
Yet yikes.

00;15;08;17 - 00;15;08;25
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00;15;09;19 - 00;15;30;10
Rob Lee
The movie is a month older than you. Well, a few weeks, actually. And I think in having this movie around for this this duration, I think I've seen this probably in my twenties and in my thirties. So like seeing it in is still funny in that way. I remember maybe watching as a teenager, not quite getting it, mostly because of the the framing mechanism of the documentary.

00;15;31;07 - 00;15;44;08
Rob Lee
But yeah, once we get to some of the once we get to some of this stuff because I was like, I wasn't sure what to do with Chris Rock, like facial hair loss. Chris Chris Rock was not my guy up until I became older.

00;15;45;23 - 00;16;19;20
Just Greg
So I will say this is my favorite Chris Rock movie that he's starring in, I'll put it that way that he's starring in. This is my favorite. Chris, right. Way to answer your question. I will say that really it got oversaturated by the Wayans brothers, and that's kind of what happened to these kind of films like Marlon is doing these films on Netflix and they're coming out at an absurd rate, like when they did the Paranormal Activity One, the 50 Shades of Gray One, and they're just not funny.

00;16;19;20 - 00;16;32;19
Just Greg
No, more like because the comedy is it doesn't hold weight like it used to, like see before or like with the black hat will be. Well, we had a black hat.

00;16;32;19 - 00;16;33;22
Rob Lee
We're going to talk about that. Yeah.

00;16;33;28 - 00;16;35;27
Just Greg
Okay. Yeah. So stuff like that.

00;16;36;05 - 00;16;52;06
Rob Lee
I think you're halfway rightly. I think it is an oversaturation of it, but I think the Wayans had that taken from them with the success of like the scary movie movies and like the Late Night. That's true. Twins. Yeah, it wasn't black people doing them, you know, at a certain point. And now it's like we now have them back.

00;16;52;06 - 00;16;59;09
Rob Lee
But I think we're out of that moment. I think that's what happened because don't be a menace. Associates Rodrick Juice in the hood is fucking really.

00;16;59;09 - 00;17;01;05
Just Greg
Good, really good movie.

00;17;01;05 - 00;17;19;05
Rob Lee
And that's a few years removed from this. Like, I think that's like 95 or 96 and but, but I think you're right. It's like we're just going to do straight parody and it's nothing really funny. And doing a parody of another movie, I think doing a parody is something from a cultural standpoint is.

00;17;19;05 - 00;17;19;29
Speaker 2
Absolutely.

00;17;20;10 - 00;17;27;07
Rob Lee
Like, yeah, yeah. I think I think that's where that that is at. So this brings me to this next question that falls into.

00;17;27;24 - 00;17;27;29
Speaker 2
If.

00;17;28;10 - 00;17;37;26
Rob Lee
If all the to what you just mentioned about fear to black hat, would this be in a box set with fear the black hat or like brown sugar?

00;17;37;26 - 00;17;42;10
Speaker 2
Right. Pretty good, right?

00;17;42;10 - 00;17;46;09
Just Greg
You know how many hip hop heads hate brown sugar?

00;17;46;11 - 00;17;48;14
Rob Lee
Brown sugar is great. They don't get it.

00;17;49;04 - 00;18;12;21
Just Greg
They absolutely despise that movie from head to toe. And that slice. So I would say fair to black. It would be if were fair to black, I can't imagine like the extremities of a soft rom com of brown sugar be put with a blatant parody of see before.

00;18;12;21 - 00;18;20;00
Rob Lee
But they have the parody rap group in that movie though because I like dressed like poodles are some some stupid shit.

00;18;20;28 - 00;18;27;14
Just Greg
Oh, my God. You're right. It isn't dresses. Trust is Charles is Wendell Pierce.

00;18;27;15 - 00;18;29;01
Speaker 2
There you go to.

00;18;29;04 - 00;18;32;09
Just Greg
Hip hop Dalmatians. They got a ring to this.

00;18;32;10 - 00;18;34;12
Rob Lee
What is he like? This. This what? Garbage truck, juice.

00;18;35;24 - 00;18;36;09
Speaker 2
That's.

00;18;36;11 - 00;18;44;14
Just Greg
Well, it's a review because I'm like, where do Pierce went? Ham. He just had a shade there. Yeah, I like that shit right there.

00;18;44;23 - 00;18;47;05
Speaker 2
You know, that's that's that's the well, you know, we're.

00;18;47;05 - 00;18;57;04
Rob Lee
Recording this at the end of 2022 that came out in 2020 2000, two black brown sugar. So that's only 20 years old now.

00;18;57;04 - 00;18;59;01
Just Greg
Dang, I don't know what to review.

00;18;59;17 - 00;19;21;27
Rob Lee
So we may get around to that. So I want to throw in an observation for you and if you have any, please chime in. Okay. The main observation that comes to mind for me is because of the time, because of the connections to Saturday Night Live with with Chris Rock. Is the Bohemian Rhapsody from Wayne's World the same as the king of rock scene?

00;19;21;27 - 00;19;27;06
Rob Lee
That's in CB. CB4 Yeah.

00;19;28;24 - 00;19;29;05
Just Greg
It is.

00;19;29;25 - 00;19;30;10
Rob Lee
Absolutely.

00;19;30;20 - 00;19;35;01
Speaker 2
Right. That's a go. Have you ever done that?

00;19;35;01 - 00;19;36;19
Just Greg
And that's one of my favorite scenes in the.

00;19;36;19 - 00;19;38;09
Speaker 2
Movie is a fire scene.

00;19;38;14 - 00;19;40;16
Rob Lee
Seen the tapes. I was walking.

00;19;40;21 - 00;19;41;15
Speaker 2
With the set.

00;19;42;14 - 00;19;43;22
Just Greg
And they kept going.

00;19;43;22 - 00;19;44;10
Speaker 2
Is it good.

00;19;45;15 - 00;19;47;03
Just Greg
To see him lose control?

00;19;47;15 - 00;19;48;01
Speaker 2
Yeah, they just.

00;19;48;01 - 00;19;49;23
Rob Lee
Feed the fucking part.

00;19;49;24 - 00;19;50;26
Speaker 2
But I was like, Yeah.

00;19;52;07 - 00;20;18;05
Rob Lee
And that's like they would be, I think my uncles and within my uncles and dad's age group. So I just remember that's the way they used to dress. They would have that whole Run DMC fit on. So definitely these were guys that, you know, these were guys that were doing this. So see, I want to move into unless you have any observations, do you have any observations that come to mind?

00;20;18;21 - 00;20;25;14
Just Greg
Oh, I'm just thinking about the amount of rappers that are in this movie name. Ice-T, Ice Cube.

00;20;26;07 - 00;20;31;13
Rob Lee
You want me? I really want to run up on him. He was his family and everything.

00;20;31;13 - 00;20;37;18
Just Greg
I mean, Isaac Hayes, not a rapper, but Isaac Hayes is in it and every create that I'm going to get you. Sarkisian I remember that.

00;20;37;19 - 00;20;39;02
Rob Lee
As great as go.

00;20;39;24 - 00;20;43;20
Just Greg
And I guess I could say Shaq, because Shaq is technically a rapper.

00;20;44;20 - 00;20;47;25
Rob Lee
Yes. When he had the sort of diss to like the Ozzy Osbourne.

00;20;47;29 - 00;20;49;27
Speaker 2
Was.

00;20;49;27 - 00;20;53;29
Rob Lee
You take the cup, they spit in it and they drank it. I was like, that's like a hold up.

00;20;55;03 - 00;20;56;23
Speaker 2
And he had he.

00;20;56;23 - 00;20;59;28
Rob Lee
Had a song with Biggie. So yeah, you live around that time actually.

00;21;00;16 - 00;21;00;29
Just Greg
Yeah.

00;21;01;16 - 00;21;02;19
Rob Lee
Yeah. Butthole Surfers in it.

00;21;02;20 - 00;21;03;13
Speaker 2
Making it.

00;21;04;01 - 00;21;05;17
Just Greg
Butthole Surfers were in it.

00;21;05;25 - 00;21;09;26
Rob Lee
Can you talk about Wacky D real quick? I'm the wackiest.

00;21;09;26 - 00;21;10;03
Speaker 2
So.

00;21;11;26 - 00;21;13;05
Just Greg
Don't forget I like to.

00;21;13;05 - 00;21;15;25
Speaker 2
Dance with no kids in the house.

00;21;16;04 - 00;21;17;04
Rob Lee
You do the wacky D dance.

00;21;17;26 - 00;21;18;28
Speaker 2
No, you're not.

00;21;19;19 - 00;21;22;24
Rob Lee
Your ACL.

00;21;22;24 - 00;21;23;12
Speaker 2
And he would later.

00;21;23;12 - 00;21;24;21
Rob Lee
Be put into Poontang.

00;21;25;08 - 00;21;26;06
Just Greg
For tonight. Yep.

00;21;26;29 - 00;21;33;24
Rob Lee
I mean, that guy is great, especially when, you know, spoilers trust this is dead. He's like, you know, he's doing some money, right? He's putting them in a face.

00;21;35;22 - 00;21;39;00
Speaker 2
That's in his own body. And it's another.

00;21;39;00 - 00;21;47;28
Rob Lee
Thing that's really funny about the wacky character that I really like, that sort of euro centric ace of base fuck in.

00;21;48;06 - 00;21;52;14
Speaker 2
Yes, because this was literally little sales. This was literally a.

00;21;52;14 - 00;22;04;07
Rob Lee
Podcast idea that I got rid of. It was called the Wrap Part Podcast. You probably remember this where I wanted to only cover the bars of those types of songs.

00;22;04;07 - 00;22;04;19
Speaker 2
Yes.

00;22;04;24 - 00;22;06;02
Just Greg
Come on. As a child.

00;22;06;11 - 00;22;09;17
Speaker 2
Yeah. Because it's like you.

00;22;09;17 - 00;22;15;19
Rob Lee
Guys, you guys aren't black. You look black, mature adjacent to white. You know, that's what that thing is as well. So successful, this sort of.

00;22;15;20 - 00;22;17;29
Just Greg
So Dwayne The Rock Johnson raps.

00;22;18;00 - 00;22;20;01
Rob Lee
Oh, my God, don't do that. But yes.

00;22;20;01 - 00;22;20;29
Just Greg
It's about heart as well.

00;22;20;29 - 00;22;24;25
Speaker 2
Hunger is about it's about desire, like, shut up.

00;22;25;18 - 00;22;47;05
Rob Lee
Shut up, Dwayne. Just the wackiest. I'm going to put that in here. I got to put that in there. And that's a really funny scene to me, especially when you're there. Like, have you ever run into this with like your parents where you're like, I really like this rap song. Added a code to something that, you know, isn't good, but like, Yo, this is great.

00;22;47;05 - 00;22;48;07
Just Greg
Oh, I'm trying to think.

00;22;48;08 - 00;22;50;19
Rob Lee
Did they try to do the dads? So they're really into it.

00;22;50;19 - 00;22;53;14
Just Greg
Like so my dad was a huge Ludacris fan.

00;22;53;29 - 00;22;55;26
Speaker 2
Oh, shit.

00;22;55;26 - 00;23;04;04
Just Greg
Yeah. So there was some times I was like, you know, Ludacris is good and all, but now I'm like, and some of them songs.

00;23;04;04 - 00;23;04;11
Speaker 2
He's like.

00;23;04;11 - 00;23;06;05
Rob Lee
Yeah, Greg, move this right? Am I right?

00;23;06;12 - 00;23;06;26
Speaker 2
Yes.

00;23;08;14 - 00;23;15;25
Just Greg
It was that entire 78 songs now. Oh, my gosh, he's horribly.

00;23;15;25 - 00;23;17;26
Rob Lee
Your dad's got rubber bands on his wrist into the.

00;23;17;26 - 00;23;18;05
Speaker 2
Shit.

00;23;18;29 - 00;23;21;06
Just Greg
Know rubber band man was.

00;23;21;13 - 00;23;22;01
Rob Lee
Terrible.

00;23;22;12 - 00;23;24;07
Just Greg
You can have whatever you like.

00;23;24;07 - 00;23;25;12
Rob Lee
Well, that's the Sugar Daddy song.

00;23;25;24 - 00;23;32;08
Just Greg
That is a McDonald's Happy Meal all No, you get you two for two for that.

00;23;32;14 - 00;23;36;20
Rob Lee
You can have two for two, whatever you like. That's terrible.

00;23;37;01 - 00;23;38;01
Speaker 2
Fucking hell.

00;23;39;11 - 00;23;41;08
Rob Lee
God damn you. Dad was into the Atlanta shit.

00;23;41;27 - 00;23;43;28
Speaker 2
Mm. Yeah.

00;23;44;16 - 00;23;48;01
Rob Lee
Just playing. Welcome to Atlanta, kid.

00;23;48;03 - 00;23;52;11
Speaker 2
Yeah, I know. That's, that's the thing.

00;23;52;14 - 00;24;00;27
Rob Lee
Like, you have, like, this is my music, this is my era, and then they don't fuck with the majority of it, and then they find that one sort of very disposable things.

00;24;00;27 - 00;24;01;20
Just Greg
Yes.

00;24;01;27 - 00;24;20;10
Rob Lee
And I remember I think I've said this on one of my podcasts where I got like Wu-Tang forever for my birthday one year. And my dad was like, Yeah, pop that in there. And he completely shit on it the entire season. And I don't wanna know this like this is pretty wack and oh.

00;24;20;19 - 00;24;22;04
Speaker 2
Yeah, he could be killer B.

00;24;22;25 - 00;24;46;10
Rob Lee
Son. I mean I didn't like he was that he was famous for like kind of him my brother kind of like destroying something like super fun that I'm enjoying. It's like, oh yeah, not a big martial arts in this movie. So yeah, you know, it's kind of how that goes. So I want to, I want to dove into this, some of this, the trivia stuff.

00;24;46;21 - 00;25;13;23
Rob Lee
So, okay, so here's what I got. Here's what I got in terms of trivia. Charlie Murphy, you don't know. I'm not going to do it. I'm not even telegraph damage. Who plays Gusto is Eddie Murphy's older brother. Obviously, he told stories of his misadventures as part of Eddie Murphy's entourage. Well, they shot this movie, those stories, which featured various encounters with Prince in James, which would later be featured on Chappelle's Show.

00;25;15;14 - 00;25;17;10
Just Greg
That's how the legend of Charlie came. Well.

00;25;17;19 - 00;25;31;15
Rob Lee
Chris Rock revealed this in interviews years after Chappelle's Show ended and he like he wish he had. I had that thought for the idea. So there's a possibility, right, that Charlie Murphy's true Hollywood stories could have been on the Chris Rock show?

00;25;33;12 - 00;25;34;25
Just Greg
Yeah, that wasn't going to happen.

00;25;35;20 - 00;25;36;16
Speaker 2
I mean, Chris Rock.

00;25;36;17 - 00;25;38;12
Rob Lee
Had a lot of sway on HBO at the time.

00;25;38;20 - 00;25;43;24
Just Greg
Oh, he did. He did. But what I don't think or what I hit the way ahead on Chappelle's Show.

00;25;44;11 - 00;25;51;21
Rob Lee
And in terms of his wild degree, he was at his own a degree of figuring this. Right. How high on his injury scale was he in CB4?

00;25;52;10 - 00;25;56;16
Just Greg
He's like, were people want Eddie to be when he finished raw.

00;25;57;27 - 00;25;59;22
Rob Lee
I mean a raging homophobic was.

00;26;02;14 - 00;26;02;23
Speaker 2
He.

00;26;02;23 - 00;26;16;16
Just Greg
Was super homophobic but that's kind of where people want it from Eddie after Eddie kind of like the role was like just beat up any black, black, black, black, black. And I was like, Did you love the 48 hours?

00;26;16;24 - 00;26;29;23
Rob Lee
Did you know this? According to Charlie Murphy, after his first audition, as the as gusto, Chris Rock told him to act meaner. Meaner. Yeah. So for the second audition, what happened?

00;26;29;23 - 00;26;30;12
Just Greg
What happened?

00;26;30;26 - 00;26;33;01
Rob Lee
He brought a real loaded gun to the audition.

00;26;33;20 - 00;26;33;27
Speaker 2
Oh.

00;26;34;00 - 00;26;36;10
Rob Lee
Said he got the part. The gun belonged to his dad.

00;26;37;15 - 00;26;42;26
Speaker 2
There with his father's boogie loaded.

00;26;42;26 - 00;26;46;14
Rob Lee
That's on the same level as Sam Jackson. Getting a role as Jules.

00;26;47;09 - 00;26;48;16
Just Greg
In Pulp Fiction. Yeah.

00;26;48;16 - 00;26;52;13
Rob Lee
Just like, oh, I'm just going to be pissed. I'm going to get this fucking role because you're.

00;26;52;13 - 00;27;00;07
Just Greg
You're star and all that. I didn't know. So Jackson auditioned for Reservoir Dogs. Granted, it's totally off the hook, but yeah.

00;27;01;03 - 00;27;09;26
Rob Lee
Now this kind of confirms the thing we were talking about earlier. Chris Rock reenacts his crack smoking scene with the same facial expression and wearing the same clothing from New Jack.

00;27;09;26 - 00;27;13;14
Speaker 2
City for two year jacket. Yeah, this confirms what we were saying.

00;27;13;14 - 00;27;15;11
Just Greg
Spooky dream is spooky dream.

00;27;15;11 - 00;27;19;14
Rob Lee
Your puke is playing.

00;27;20;10 - 00;27;29;20
Just Greg
It's in. I know they tried to reenact I'm Going To Get You Sucka with Chris Rock and Isaac Hayes. Yeah.

00;27;29;20 - 00;27;42;17
Rob Lee
At the end of the movie, in the scene where he Hagel's idiotically what Isaac Hayes is is a spoof of a conversation they had at the rib joint. I'm going to get you, sucker. Now, this is just his extended universe. This is Chris Rock's extended universe.

00;27;42;28 - 00;27;43;09
Speaker 2
Yep.

00;27;44;22 - 00;27;55;03

00;29;01;08 - 00;29;06;12
Just Greg
He was not the best stylize.

00;29;06;12 - 00;29;07;22
Rob Lee
He was not in the style.

00;29;07;27 - 00;29;11;00
Just Greg
Yes. And he had the worst bars.

00;29;12;05 - 00;29;14;17
Speaker 2
You go back to his bars again. He was.

00;29;14;17 - 00;29;19;19
Just Greg

Just Greg
So see, what's.

00;29;33;26 - 00;29;39;02
Rob Lee
Some of your thoughts? Uh, because on a level, right.

00;29;39;25 - 00;29;41;00
Just Greg
I systemic.

00;29;41;11 - 00;29;57;20
Rob Lee
I didn't see her until I didn't see her until like trim a in the corner. Right. So I didn't know that she had a career before that and like, like, like CSI or something. So I'll see her next year. But in looking at her, I was like, she was in Leopard and she was like, I bring skinny guys like that.

00;29;57;20 - 00;29;59;18
Rob Lee
I'm like, Hold up, tell me more.

00;30;00;19 - 00;30;05;14
Just Greg
She was definitely the 1993 version of Britney Runner in that movie.

00;30;06;15 - 00;30;09;04
Rob Lee
Stop, stop what you're saying.

00;30;11;02 - 00;30;13;18
Just Greg
For like Melissa Walsh.

00;30;13;18 - 00;30;14;15
Rob Lee
And then I'm Melissa for it.

00;30;15;01 - 00;30;18;10
Just Greg
Not Melissa for not Britney around is good.

00;30;18;28 - 00;30;20;23
Speaker 2
Yeah. I mean.

00;30;21;03 - 00;30;31;25
Rob Lee
She's in terms of filth, right. Like, would you have gone for it if you're in CB4 you're probably you're probably yes. You're probably the deejay though for being on us Stairmaster.

00;30;31;25 - 00;30;39;01
Just Greg
Arsalan, you're sad. I'm 100%. The deejay is Dakota Buried a sweetheart, a juice.

00;30;39;01 - 00;30;44;15
Rob Lee
He's reading porn and drinking forties the entire time. It's great. And he only has sisters. That's why that.

00;30;44;15 - 00;30;46;24
Speaker 2
Is. You. Yeah.

00;30;48;09 - 00;30;48;23
Just Greg
I'll take.

00;30;48;23 - 00;30;50;11
Rob Lee
It. I'm. I'm a very fat.

00;30;50;12 - 00;30;50;20
Just Greg

00;30;50;20 - 00;30;52;22
Rob Lee
Mike. I'm a very fat version of gusto.

00;30;53;22 - 00;30;56;03
Speaker 2
I'll take it.

00;30;56;03 - 00;30;56;27
Rob Lee
I'm just didn't like.

00;30;56;28 - 00;30;59;15
Speaker 2
Him, Mike. I don't know who did.

00;30;59;15 - 00;31;09;26
Rob Lee
Mike is in our in our circle of people. I don't see said it's Chris Rock narrates the movie right. He compares the real gusto to Tito Brown.

00;31;10;15 - 00;31;14;24
Speaker 2
I don't know. Again, this is a motherfucking fever dream.

00;31;15;11 - 00;31;18;15
Just Greg
This is literally New Jack City.

00;31;18;27 - 00;31;27;28
Rob Lee
It's really great. So you want to hear about a few cameos that or at least one major cameo that is a scene that got deleted.

00;31;29;05 - 00;31;30;23
Just Greg
Wasn't a Halle Berry.

00;31;30;23 - 00;31;31;22
Rob Lee
No, her name's on it.

00;31;32;11 - 00;31;33;02
Just Greg
Oh, okay.

00;31;33;28 - 00;31;35;20
Rob Lee
Ron Howard has a scene in his movie.

00;31;37;06 - 00;31;37;22
Speaker 2
Once.

00;31;37;26 - 00;31;42;29
Rob Lee
And it gets deleted. What Ron fucking Howard was. It is.

00;31;43;25 - 00;31;45;28
Just Greg
Why is Ron Howard in this movie?

00;31;46;09 - 00;31;49;21
Speaker 2
He's in this fucking movie. I mean, he.

00;31;49;21 - 00;31;51;28
Just Greg
Should be like right in Apollo 13 right now.

00;31;52;05 - 00;32;02;18
Rob Lee
What problematic thing was that? Let's look at Ron Howard in 1993 because this probably is probably Apollo. Yeah, I think you're right. He should be disciplining his daughter Dallas or something.

00;32;03;04 - 00;32;06;02
Speaker 2
Bullshit, like takes it out of that.

00;32;06;18 - 00;32;09;04
Just Greg
Come on, Bryce Dallas.

00;32;09;04 - 00;32;15;22
Rob Lee
So this was a year before the paper came out, two years before Apollo 13. So you're right.

00;32;15;22 - 00;32;16;08
Speaker 2
Your okay.

00;32;17;06 - 00;32;20;29
Rob Lee
He this is after far and away.

00;32;22;15 - 00;32;22;24
Speaker 2
Oh.

00;32;23;13 - 00;32;25;06
Rob Lee
He wrote that though. He wrote that movie.

00;32;25;27 - 00;32;27;28
Speaker 2
Okay.

00;32;27;28 - 00;32;43;11
Rob Lee
See, I see we got so this was filmed in 1992 between July and September. So a couple months. So the ragtime piano melody heard in the nursing home sequence is actually Sugarhill Gang Rapper Delights License, where you get Rapper's Delight.

00;32;44;05 - 00;32;44;16
Speaker 2
Okay.

00;32;45;09 - 00;32;50;11
Rob Lee
So did you notice any person that was one of the sisters of Stairmaster arson?

00;32;51;05 - 00;32;51;26
Just Greg
I did not.

00;32;52;06 - 00;32;56;01
Rob Lee
One of them was Shar Jackson, one of the sisters at the at the breakfast table.

00;32;56;08 - 00;32;56;17
Just Greg
Out of.

00;32;56;17 - 00;32;59;06
Rob Lee
Here. That was this is her movie debut, right. Of her.

00;32;59;06 - 00;33;01;12
Speaker 2
Debut. Oh, wow. Yeah.

00;33;02;16 - 00;33;04;04
Just Greg
So check that out again.

00;33;04;18 - 00;33;13;10
Rob Lee
Let's talk about in these last couple things here. I want to talk about favorite scenes in pool.

00;33;13;19 - 00;33;27;22
Just Greg
This is a good one. Well, your favorite. So number one for me will be the sex scene dead, making gusto with Sissy because Sissy was smashing gusto. And that death scene was just hilarious.

00;33;28;00 - 00;33;30;22
Speaker 2
It was what he called like a doll or something. Yeah.

00;33;31;01 - 00;33;36;20
Rob Lee
Yeah, it was his girlfriend, by the way.

00;33;37;16 - 00;33;39;26
Speaker 2
Rachel, true wood Ally.

00;33;39;26 - 00;33;41;06
Rob Lee
Also who was also in.

00;33;42;19 - 00;33;45;00
Just Greg
Half and half the craft.

00;33;45;15 - 00;33;47;06
Rob Lee
Half baked. Going back to the.

00;33;47;06 - 00;33;47;26
Just Greg
32.

00;33;48;02 - 00;33;49;07
Rob Lee
She was Dave Chappelle's girlfriend.

00;33;49;26 - 00;34;05;18
Just Greg
Oh, yeah. I not too familiar with half baked like that something I had to rewatch that yeah that's scene number one scene number two for me is definitely Run-D.M.C., King of Rock.

00;34;06;07 - 00;34;07;06
Rob Lee
It's a good place.

00;34;07;12 - 00;34;13;28
Speaker 2
That tape, man. I'm sorry you lose Jimmy, man Who is Dan? He's damaged, too.

00;34;14;07 - 00;34;27;19
Just Greg
Dan Death scene is too hilarious to Oh, God, I'm trying to think because number three for me is hard because number three will ever be the first scene where you see him do all the rap acts.

00;34;28;17 - 00;34;29;25
Rob Lee
That's a really funny scene.

00;34;30;14 - 00;34;35;05
Just Greg
Is that scene is hilarious or the scene where they get Charlie Murphy locked up again.

00;34;35;25 - 00;34;36;05
Rob Lee
When you get.

00;34;36;13 - 00;34;41;14
Just Greg
Between those two is Chris Rock dressed in drag? It was like, gotcha.

00;34;41;14 - 00;34;44;09
Speaker 2
And you know, another.

00;34;44;09 - 00;34;46;17
Rob Lee
Movie that does that that does it really? Well.

00;34;47;03 - 00;34;48;02
Just Greg
That's ourselves.

00;34;48;15 - 00;34;54;11
Rob Lee
No, no, that's terrible movie. In high school, he kind of falls in this sort of conversation.

00;34;54;11 - 00;34;55;07
Speaker 2
Oh, okay.

00;34;55;19 - 00;35;15;13
Rob Lee
That's a really funny movie. So, you know, it's a lot of black folk in it, but it's definitely a Jon Lovitz movie. But in terms of of these movies, you know, I have to have like the intro. I think that might be the. Yeah, the intro with all of the cameos just kind of front loaded, you know, I like that you just get them all out of the way.

00;35;15;13 - 00;35;17;21
Rob Lee
All the stunt casting is right up front, right?

00;35;17;26 - 00;35;18;06
Just Greg
Yeah.

00;35;19;00 - 00;35;20;28
Rob Lee
Obviously the straight out of Locash video.

00;35;21;00 - 00;35;30;22
Speaker 2
Credit cards and crazy motherfucker like that stuff you want to pick up on. This is the kickass oh well fuck him out but the bitch to back.

00;35;30;26 - 00;35;32;00
Just Greg
Well that's a good one.

00;35;32;13 - 00;35;38;00
Rob Lee
And I hate I usually hate little white kids doing black stuff but it makes me laugh a.

00;35;38;00 - 00;35;41;19
Speaker 2
Lot actually, because he's like, dad, you budget like shit.

00;35;43;04 - 00;35;45;06
Rob Lee
So it was like, I think we got something here.

00;35;45;06 - 00;35;47;11
Speaker 2
Yeah. Oh, we have an enemy here.

00;35;47;18 - 00;35;55;00
Just Greg
I want to replace those three things. Trust your child's funeral. No, my last scene. Okay. Trust is John's funeral.

00;35;55;14 - 00;35;59;20
Rob Lee
That's a good scene. That's a good. You can trust us.

00;35;59;20 - 00;36;03;25
Speaker 2
Who can you trust? He was terrible.

00;36;04;02 - 00;36;05;14
Just Greg
He was a scammer.

00;36;06;05 - 00;36;06;22
Speaker 2
You know, he.

00;36;06;22 - 00;36;16;22
Rob Lee
Is the the actor that plays him is the same guy that is the the mayor and RoboCop two that goes out to fucking to.

00;36;18;00 - 00;36;19;03
Speaker 2
Homeless black and.

00;36;19;03 - 00;36;21;13
Rob Lee
Bears the same fucking guy. He has the same energy.

00;36;21;29 - 00;36;23;11
Just Greg
Oh, my God.

00;36;23;13 - 00;36;31;04
Rob Lee
When I found that out, I started giggling. The next one I have is a wacky D like I'm the wackiest.

00;36;32;10 - 00;36;49;27
Speaker 2
Did I mention before that I can dance backstage rackauckas d He's blankety blank. How wacky is that?

00;36;50;24 - 00;36;55;01
Rob Lee
I know I'm going to make you dance.

00;36;55;22 - 00;36;58;00
Just Greg
Don't you know that I can.

00;36;58;00 - 00;37;02;29
Speaker 2
Dance like yo.

00;37;05;13 - 00;37;08;16
Rob Lee
You no sweat from a sweat on my balls is obviously on their way.

00;37;08;18 - 00;37;18;16
Speaker 1
A lot of the the film that set you up a few months back that younger fella sweat you feel.

00;37;18;16 - 00;37;20;21
Just Greg
Yeah that's definitely a good thing to do.

00;37;21;16 - 00;37;23;12
Speaker 2
Because it's all because.

00;37;23;12 - 00;37;28;04
Rob Lee
It's memorable it has to be dead Mike hotel like I'm black gone.

00;37;28;19 - 00;37;44;27
Speaker 2
I'm okay because a lot of people don't know where I came from. I'm black and I'm black and I'm black and I'm black and I'm black and I'm black and I'm black and I'm black and I'm black and I'm black. You're a big black black and a black, black on black in a black yo because of.

00;37;44;27 - 00;37;48;01
Just Greg
Black and a black. That's true too. Which is kind of sad.

00;37;48;05 - 00;37;49;19
Rob Lee
No respect on the CB for name.

00;37;50;13 - 00;37;52;03
Just Greg
And we used it as our intro.

00;37;53;01 - 00;37;54;24
Rob Lee
We did for a very long time. Yeah.

00;37;55;04 - 00;37;55;19
Just Greg
Yeah.

00;37;56;00 - 00;38;09;16
Rob Lee
And lastly, because I think it's still early in the movie because there's a lot of like good little chunks that we have a lot of scenes here, by the way, the sex the sex line.

00;38;09;16 - 00;38;19;25
Speaker 2
Yeah, I'm licking your balls. Oh, best balls. And hey, you got King Kong balls.

00;38;20;05 - 00;38;23;23
Rob Lee
Like just going they're going to Euripides job, and just seeing all of.

00;38;24;07 - 00;38;25;24
Speaker 2
It is really cool.

00;38;25;24 - 00;38;30;01
Just Greg
Yeah, I'm looking at both your big balls. They're very big balls.

00;38;30;08 - 00;38;33;19
Rob Lee
What is it, a one 800 piece. And it's just some chick pour.

00;38;33;19 - 00;38;38;04
Speaker 2
Water in a bucket. Yeah, yeah, it's nasty. Abby.

00;38;39;25 - 00;38;43;26
Rob Lee
You know, the funny thing about it, that's the best he's dressed in the entire movie when he's at his best.

00;38;43;27 - 00;38;45;05
Just Greg
That's very true. Yeah.

00;38;45;14 - 00;38;46;06
Rob Lee
Because he's any way.

00;38;46;13 - 00;38;49;07
Speaker 2
Howard Stern or something. Oh, my.

00;38;49;07 - 00;38;52;16
Just Greg
God. Yes. You just remind me. Remember, biggest biscuit?

00;38;53;17 - 00;38;53;28
Speaker 2
No.

00;38;55;15 - 00;38;57;01
Just Greg
They had the bigger biscuit.

00;38;57;01 - 00;39;09;07
Speaker 2
Oh, shit. Yes. Yeah. Little piece of that is it again. It's is just like how much.

00;39;09;13 - 00;39;36;27
Rob Lee
With in the writing right. Was Chris you can see Chris Rock's fingerprints all over this shit because it's definitely his sense of humor from that era. And do you feel do you think that in doing this movie in probably writing some of these lines? I don't know. I don't know if there's a rapper or whatever involved. But do you think this led to him, you know, either hiring that person or writing some of his raps for fucking like some of the comedy albums?

00;39;38;27 - 00;39;42;00
Rob Lee
So, like, is he dead? No. Sections you.

00;39;42;01 - 00;39;43;14
Speaker 2
Grow.

00;39;43;14 - 00;39;50;01
Just Greg
Cause I look at Chris Rock and I was like, so I gave Chris Rock the best lines in the movie.

00;39;50;01 - 00;39;50;24
Speaker 2
Absolutely.

00;39;51;00 - 00;40;06;01
Just Greg
In terms of bar, they're like, look, Alan, pain's going nowhere compared to Chris Rice. So we're just going to give Chris Rock jazz lyrics. Is he trying to save Jada?

00;40;06;16 - 00;40;09;12
Rob Lee
He literally Jason's lyric came out a year out that as far away.

00;40;09;28 - 00;40;12;06
Just Greg
Good guys were evil. Dave Chappelle.

00;40;13;08 - 00;40;16;09
Speaker 2
And dare to stab.

00;40;16;09 - 00;40;23;10
Rob Lee
Masterson. That actor either d e passed away or what have you to rest in peace. Yeah. So, I don't know.

00;40;23;10 - 00;40;26;07
Just Greg
He was an E.R. hold up?

00;40;26;13 - 00;40;28;06
Speaker 2
Mm hmm.

00;40;29;05 - 00;40;31;23
Rob Lee
Yeah, he. He passed away last year, actually, neither. D That's.

00;40;31;24 - 00;40;33;12
Just Greg
Crazy.

00;40;33;12 - 00;40;34;00
Rob Lee
He was also.

00;40;34;00 - 00;40;34;23
Just Greg
Rest in peace.

00;40;34;28 - 00;40;35;29
Rob Lee
He was also.

00;40;36;07 - 00;40;42;22
Speaker 2
Was he in coolers, ice? And I'm sure you remember that movie.

00;40;43;19 - 00;40;44;20
Just Greg
Oh, my gosh.

00;40;44;28 - 00;40;48;15
Rob Lee
He was in cool. As cool as Ice. That is his film debut.

00;40;49;02 - 00;40;51;13
Just Greg
That's the vanilla. Well, yeah, it is.

00;40;52;29 - 00;40;56;28
Rob Lee
Do you know what else he was in?

00;40;56;28 - 00;41;02;27
Speaker 2
Like a yo yo and all this?

00;41;04;18 - 00;41;09;10
Rob Lee
I mean, we could easily do Fear to Black Hat. That's a 1983 movie.

00;41;10;06 - 00;41;14;26
Just Greg
We could we out of that the really rewatched that one again so.

00;41;14;26 - 00;41;19;19
Rob Lee
There's a song called booty juice.

00;41;19;19 - 00;41;24;22
Speaker 2
Oh it is an album called Plus While He Gets Yo.

00;41;25;02 - 00;41;29;07
Rob Lee
We might have to do this actually. Hello, host. Look, this might.

00;41;29;07 - 00;41;30;13
Speaker 2
Be the superior movie.

00;41;32;22 - 00;41;54;09
Rob Lee
Generosity kind of, but it is done in the same style, too. Like, is it that if you're doing these movies, is it is this movie and you're talking about CB4, is it we're making fun of white people's obsession and interest around sort of black culture and hip hop and we find it as a way to make money. That's why we dove into it.

00;41;54;09 - 00;41;55;16
Rob Lee
These fucking like like fakes.

00;41;56;12 - 00;42;19;09
Just Greg
Yes. I also say the politic part of it, which we kind of didn't really get into like about it. I would say the politic part of it is not understanding what culture is and trying to put a stop on something you can't control it. So that was something that was kind of big, especially when gangsta rap first like became what it was like.

00;42;19;09 - 00;42;46;28
Just Greg
Yeah, women's activists and stopped using the word bitch in the song. And then you had actual politicians saying, this promotes violence. And it was like, all right, yeah, yeah, movies down or whatever. It's kind of like, what's going on now with drag shows and the fact that people are like, You can't bring your kids to drag shows, but, you know, Hooters and Tilted Kilt still exists.

00;42;47;07 - 00;42;47;26
Speaker 2
To help keep.

00;42;47;27 - 00;42;50;01
Rob Lee
Kill. Did you make that reference?

00;42;50;01 - 00;42;52;02
Speaker 2
Yes. Yeah.

00;42;52;26 - 00;43;15;27
Rob Lee
So I'm reading about it. In 1990, the then established black and white warning label, the Parental Advisory explicit lyrics was introduced. So this is like right after this is almost in response to it where it's like, I don't dove into and listen to, you know, like rock and roll of the I don't listen for that. I don't see it like, oh, that's sexually explicit.

00;43;15;27 - 00;43;32;25
Rob Lee
But the sort of rock and roll lifestyle didn't have that, you know what I mean? It didn't have even that sort of any of those sort of issues, that rock and roll lifestyle. It was sex, drugs and rock and roll, which is kind of the same thing that's in rap music during that time. Yeah.

00;43;33;09 - 00;43;34;20
Just Greg
Same, same exact thing.

00;43;35;00 - 00;44;02;11
Rob Lee
But rap music has the parental advisory sticker, which in some ways that's more beneficial to the record label than to the actual artists, the artists even opportunities to tour. And they're getting harassed by police, which is the label they're getting to, sort of this is something you're not supposed to have. So now I want more of it. Let me get all of it, because white kids are the ones that are buying it, which is definitely protected.

00;44;02;13 - 00;44;09;24
Just Greg
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And definitely we think about the Ed stuff for Wal-Mart and every time he hit the sell to different versions of the CDs, just.

00;44;10;20 - 00;44;10;25
Speaker 2
There's.

00;44;11;24 - 00;44;12;25
Just Greg
Too many politics.

00;44;13;01 - 00;44;20;16
Rob Lee
And you know where they get demonetized. Now, if you feel like what you're saying is too explicit, it's just like you don't back.

00;44;20;16 - 00;44;29;26
Just Greg
So and then I found out recently and this is not to try to get way too off topic it's nothing Cameron brought up was the fact that yeah.

00;44;31;16 - 00;44;31;25
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00;44;33;07 - 00;44;40;23
Just Greg
No no Hall of Famer Cameron oh and Rob Oliver's Hall of Fame.

00;44;40;24 - 00;44;41;06
Rob Lee
I mean, he.

00;44;41;06 - 00;44;42;14
Speaker 2
Is Lorde but.

00;44;42;15 - 00;44;43;23
Rob Lee
Aquarius Cameron going.

00;44;45;06 - 00;45;06;07
Just Greg
Basically saying, oh after a certain time frame for a record like the record label loses his rights completely. So I think it was like not eight years, but I think like 18 years. The record label loses the rights to the soul and the artist can be record the song for themselves and keep the song.

00;45;06;19 - 00;45;07;08
Rob Lee
So that's which I.

00;45;07;08 - 00;45;09;16
Just Greg
Thought was fascinating. That's what they would have.

00;45;10;11 - 00;45;11;11
Speaker 2
To happen.

00;45;11;16 - 00;45;22;05
Just Greg
With the song. Yeah, they had to keep the song the same. Can't change any of the lyrics, can't change the beat. So it has to be the exact it it has to sound exactly the same.

00;45;22;23 - 00;45;39;09
Rob Lee
So essentially a song as a child. Yeah 18 years and yeah I mean you just imagine like the, the freeways and the beanie schools of the world being that they sound considerably different. Do the hell yeah that they can record the song to sound the same.

00;45;39;26 - 00;45;40;06
Just Greg
Yeah.

00;45;41;01 - 00;45;49;09
Speaker 2
But I'm actually abortion is wrong. What are we doing? This would be something.

00;45;51;02 - 00;45;55;03
Just Greg
I heard Betty SIEGEL like a few days ago. Rap. And I was like, whoa.

00;45;55;07 - 00;45;56;02
Rob Lee
Because he he is like, you.

00;45;56;03 - 00;45;57;07
Just Greg
Sound like he's whispering.

00;45;57;07 - 00;45;59;05
Rob Lee
He has, like, very damaged lungs and shit.

00;45;59;06 - 00;46;00;26
Just Greg
Yeah, yeah, that's great.

00;46;01;04 - 00;46;03;00
Rob Lee
So I agree. But also.

00;46;03;01 - 00;46;04;01
Just Greg
I just seen why.

00;46;04;01 - 00;46;14;13
Speaker 2
She is crazy often. Oh, MVP.

00;46;16;07 - 00;46;17;27
Rob Lee
Yeah, let's talk about me. Feel sorry about everything.

00;46;18;07 - 00;46;20;16
Speaker 2
But yeah, basically it was.

00;46;20;17 - 00;46;21;27
Rob Lee
In Oklahoma State where.

00;46;24;00 - 00;46;24;24
Just Greg
Charlie Murphy.

00;46;25;11 - 00;46;26;02
Rob Lee
You're going to play American.

00;46;26;05 - 00;46;27;17
Just Greg
Idol. Charlie Murphy.

00;46;27;25 - 00;46;29;03
Rob Lee
You're going to find my pick controversial.

00;46;30;03 - 00;46;30;17
Just Greg
Okay.

00;46;31;05 - 00;46;35;19
Rob Lee
You know who it is?

00;46;35;19 - 00;46;37;04
Just Greg
It's not DVD.

00;46;37;11 - 00;46;38;06
Rob Lee
Simon Payne. For me.

00;46;39;07 - 00;46;40;07
Just Greg
Allen Payne.

00;46;40;16 - 00;46;45;25
Rob Lee
Is so divisive, but I think you can have to Chris.

00;46;45;25 - 00;46;46;09
Speaker 2
Rock's.

00;46;47;17 - 00;47;06;12
Rob Lee
And DVD is giving you a really nothing he just kind of playing in the background not really doing as a deejay would do I think at least that's the way they're kind of posted so he has to one he's got the meme too he's his fit is better than everyone else is fit for the rest of the movie that fit in the in the phone sex room.

00;47;07;24 - 00;47;08;09
Just Greg
Okay.

00;47;09;01 - 00;47;35;25
Rob Lee
And his taco meat bugs me so much. You know what I'm talking about? So there is a lot. It's a lot. He looks like he looks like Drew McIntyre, his chest area as well. I hear the trumpets. And yeah, I mean, in the you know, just the whole tap thing that a lot of those black guys, they turn into that sort of hot 5% or types.

00;47;36;04 - 00;47;47;05
Rob Lee
It's like, no, I believe you because you still see it with all of the anti-Semitism and all that stuff that's still happening within that community. It's like you are a person that exists.

00;47;48;20 - 00;47;51;08
Just Greg
As a support group. A few days ago.

00;47;51;21 - 00;47;51;25
Speaker 2
I.

00;47;51;25 - 00;47;54;14
Just Greg
Refuse. I was just I'll just leave it at that.

00;47;54;24 - 00;48;01;13
Rob Lee
I refuse and go fuck himself. Oh, now we'll talk about this off. Mike.

00;48;01;29 - 00;48;02;11
Just Greg
Okay.

00;48;02;29 - 00;48;23;26
Rob Lee
So I guess lastly here, what do you want to give it? Like, you know, like where does this where does this belong in the scope of sort of like those types of movies, you know, these kind of, you know, black, black nineties movie, let's just call it that. Like if it's on a box set, what's with it? And we kind of touched a little bit earlier.

00;48;23;26 - 00;48;38;21
Rob Lee
And lastly, where do you reign it? Like we talked about the numbers earlier, you can go on the scale, you can go five scale, you can go ten scale. Where do you rate this movie in? What are three movies that are with this in the nineties? Black movie box set. Please go.

00;48;39;00 - 00;48;44;06
Just Greg
Okay. So the three movies fair to Black New Jack City.

00;48;46;21 - 00;48;46;27
Speaker 2
As.

00;48;47;12 - 00;48;49;19
Rob Lee
Well as the other two movies. It's only three.

00;48;49;21 - 00;49;03;19
Just Greg
Oh okay. Only they're always okay. Yeah. New Jack City Terms of rating. Like I said, this is my favorite Chris Rock movie. There's a few that didn't like. I don't like the B-Plot at all.

00;49;03;19 - 00;49;05;28
Rob Lee
It's I did not like it. No.

00;49;05;28 - 00;49;29;22
Just Greg
Oh I give it a solid eight so eight out of ten. Yeah. I feel like there's a lot of quotables and I think there's a few things that doesn't age well going back. Yeah. Like you could have filled three things in 2022 now, but for the most part it's good. 8 to 9 out of ten. For me.

00;49;30;09 - 00;49;44;17
Rob Lee
It's for me it's a 7 to 8 out of ten. And we have the same we have the same box is the same box because of what we establish. I really think we should do. The director's commentary for this is like, look, man, we were not around. You weren't? I was right.

00;49;45;23 - 00;49;46;14
Speaker 2
And it was like.

00;49;46;24 - 00;49;55;27
Rob Lee
