‘Borat’ With Bill Simmons and Kyle Brandt

[MUSIC PLAYING]

The rewatchable is brought to you by the Ringer Podcast Network,

where you can find cow brand here in the rewatchable. So it doesn't ever bring a podcast out. But he's like, he's here in the whole ESPN Vortex now. You're on the schedule release show. You're doing all kinds of things.

You got nice set up. Look at this in the background. It's great. I get to go on with the ESPN talent. I sat down with Peter Schreger last night.

And I said, what's up with it, vanilla phase? And we just kept running. It was great. He got super cool. [LAUGHTER]

We were doing comedy zal month here on the rewatchables. A bunch of them are on Netflix. We've done their stuff about Mary and Tropic Thunder.

“And now, I think one of the best comedies of the 21st century”

Borat is next. [MUSIC PLAYING] Borat, you've wanted this for a while. Yeah. We both love it.

I'm going to start here. Sasha Baron Cohen. One of the great comedy actor performances in a movie ever for me. Yes. It's a 101.

I almost felt like it's lost. How good he is in it. Because the Borat kind of took over. And he's done a lot of good stuff. You know, he had the LG show.

He's made a bunch of movies.

But I'm just like an off in this movie, how incredible he is.

So I'm starting there. Fantastic. And I think you just wear onto something. I think it's a little bit defiled in the wake of it. And that the annoying guy in your friend group for the next five years

would go, "My wife, high five." Yeah. It kind of ruined this amazing character that he did. But not for me. My appetite was wet to do this movie with you, Bill,

because I was listening to something about Mary Pod. And you guys were talking a lot about your experience in the theatre. Hardest I've ever laughed in the theatre. People screaming in the theatre. This was the same thing.

I remember being in the theatre for Bora.

“I think I was at the Chinese theatre right there on Hollywood.”

And it's not just that people were just laughing at Ha Ha. There was there were screams. There was people like pulling their jackets up over their head during a naked fight. There were people who were leaving.

It was the most chaotic two minutes I've ever had in a movie. It was this movie. The naked fight on a big screen. Yeah. It's almost like a what's aged the worse

because it's just never going to be the same.

Watching it at home on a 50 to 70 to 100 inch TV, whatever TV you have. To see that on a 50 foot screen. Was, are you having earpiece problems? With your, you know, it is first world problems.

I'm already going to, I'm going to have to email Bristol this thing. Socks bill. If they give me a crappy earpiece, the one from an effort that worked fine,

by the way, for years doing this podcast. And now we're 10 seconds in and Bill's trying to talk about how big osmots ball sack is on the site. And I can't get the earpiece in. That's right.

We're keeping it in. People this were professionals. Yeah. But on a 50 foot screen. Yeah.

As a moth ass. It's probably my favorite part of the movie. Just when he gets off him. It's a very code. It's like he got concussed by Ed Reed.

And I don't think he's acting. I actually think he's like, it's almost smelling salt spring. The trainers out. It's so disgusting.

Well, they say that the most infamous hit ever and what I do is the, and this air as the vantez perfect that Antonio Brown, that people think change Antonio Brown as a person. Yeah.

“I think that one Sasha Baron Cohen went into as a moth's”

showed and that's a different person came out. Like I don't think he's the same guy that went in. It's never funny. As funny, ever again. Best.

So, oh, on the great comedy actor performance is thing. I was thinking about there's different types. I like early on in the 60s, 70s and you would have like Peter Sellers playing all these different parts thing. Then we get to the 80s.

And you'd have like the force for signature comedy stuff. Like blue sheet animal, animal house just going in, clearing out the cafeteria and it's like hilarious. Or 80 Murphy and Beverly Hills cop. Even Chevy Chase and Fletch can go through.

This is so different because I think the degree of difficulty was just a hundred out of a hundred. Like it's not just a scenario season, but he also has to stay in character. He's kind of weathered whatever the storm is.

And he's also got to be really funny. And there's thought, I didn't even know until we did the research. When he's reading his dictionary, it's actually all these jokes. They wrote for the situations, right?

He's not like, I got to look at what's it,

So they're prepared ahead of time, but not totally. So it's this combination of like, it's like gorilla improv basically. And I don't know how he does it. I don't know anybody else who could have done this.

I think one of the most underrated things about this movie is the writing because there's brilliant stuff that they came up with. This the bit where he goes into the hotel elevator and starts unpacking because he thinks it's his room. Like that is a written script.

And it's a really funny idea. But like the guys that you brought up and all the people that we love. The Eddie Murphy and Chevy Chase, like they're pretty much playing themselves, right? They're just funny, charismatic people.

“You have to find someone who's really, really doing deep character work.”

Like the people that come to like Mike Myers was doing characters. Steve Martin in the jerk is a character. And what's really jarring is a few were a fan of the Ali G show. Back when Sasha Baron Cohen wouldn't do media. If you'd ever see an interview with him,

it's so crazy how he is this really thoughtful area-dite British man that doesn't sound anything like his characters. It reminds me of Daniel Day that when you see him do interviews, you're like, fuck, that's not build a butcher. Like that's the best actor I've ever seen in my life.

Right. That's the different with Sasha's. Like he's nothing like any Bruno. I'll lead you none of them. And that's makes it so compelling.

Yeah, there's this awesome Conan O'Brien interview that he did. I think like 2016, 17 range. And he tells this whole story about a deleted scene from Borat. Or Borat films basically films a porn movie. But he's telling the story as Sasha Baron Cohen.

But then he keeps lapsing into Borat as he's telling the story of how it is. And it's just like, it's so confusing. It's almost like watching Primal Fear. Like watching Ed Norton in the back and forth between the two people. Because he's like this smart British guy just telling the story.

But then on his side, he's Borat.

And by the way, the story was amazing.

They go to an actual porn set. It's about how Borat needs more money after it breaks up with Azimat for me. Sure. So he actually appears in a real porn film. And he's fucking with the director because he's supposed to be like the room service guy.

And he comes in and they're having actual sex. And Borat's supposed to join in. And he keeps screwing up the scene and directors getting matter matters. He's great. And he's like, I don't know her regime doesn't have hair on it.

“I don't know if I could, you have to put hair on her regime in the director's like,”

"We gotta get some hair for her regime." And it's like this whole, I guess it went up for an hour. And he's telling the whole story to Cohen and Cohen is just dying. And that guy cut out, which is another thing about this movie. They have, you know, I think they had like,

I don't know, 400 minutes of stuff. They narrowed it down to 89. But they had all this deleted stuff. A lot of it's on YouTube. Some of it's on the DVDs and some of it's great.

But they were so big on what the flow of the movie is not losing the flow. Isn't that a statement though about the movie, like you said all the time? Deleted scenes usually suck. And you know why they're deleted because they were bad. The deleted scenes in this are funny as hell.

It's just on my YouTube, Borot works at a fast food restaurant. It's great. Like you could have had a whole separate movie with the separate deleted scenes, which are actually funny. No deleted scenes are that great.

These are really good. Now, and they were big, like they explained with the porn scene. Because they had the naked fight. They felt like two, two kind of naked set pieces would have stepped on the,

“the azamot fight, which they knew was like going to be the key to the movie.”

So they cut it. And it's like a classic kill your babies.

You know, like I always talk about this with documentaries.

That would always be, oh, man, we can't lose that scene. It's like we got to lose the scene. We got to get to 90 minutes. And so the good thing is all this stuff's on YouTube. Best documentary is ever. Yeah, I have this.

So I think spinal tap best in show, Borot waiting for Goffman. And I'm going to count Blair Witch. Hmm. Those were the five that jumped out for movies. Is there anyone else who would put in there? That's the list that I have minus Blair Witch, which is good addition.

And I feel like spinal tap gets so much respect. Because it feels like it was first, at least for that generation. Yeah. I love waiting for Goffman. I just, the small town theater for me is it's my favorite one other than this, maybe.

I mean, I had it when we get to apex mountain. Is this the best mockumentary ever? It probably is. I like it better than the spinal tap. But I know Spongebob came first. What's weird is all those movies, except for Borot,

are 20th century or like beginning of 21st century. None of those movies are from the last 20 years. I was trying to figure out what happened.

And I think the answer is it moved to TV.

Because the office comes in second half of the 2000s. And then you have even stuff like jury duty. You have like Andy Samberg did that seven days in hell, which I thought was really good. But it just kind of moved away from movies for some reason. And I'm not.

Not totally sure I agree with it. I don't admit or maybe it's like we don't have the same kind of improv.

But it's just weird to me.

We haven't had a good one of these in 20 years since Borot. That's strange. I think you're on to something where I'm watching this a lot. And some of the bits that he's doing one of my favorite bits is when he just gets to New York City. And he's just I'm new and town nice to meet you and he's just interesting himself to people.

There's that's a thousand assholes on TikTok do that. They're just messing with people on the street. That was what Billie Eichner was doing. And that's like I follow some of these Instagram accounts that just that my kids like. One of the ones that I follow is called humor bagel.

And it's just this guy who walks around Central Park and just farts. And that's all it is and people love it. It's that's amazing. It's so follow humor bagel. He just farts and people laugh.

My kid dies laughing. I watch this and I'm just without my kid.

“But it's like that's what Borot's doing.”

He's walking around Central Park messing with New Yorkers.

But now it's it's just an Instagram.

Like it's everywhere. You can do it for free. Well, one of the writers made the he's Dan Mayzer said. Yeah. We're in Dallas for two and a half weeks.

We're worried about a local local newspaper getting ahold of the fact that we're around. And he said and he said this ten years ago. Today there would be people of cell phones or be on Twitter or be on social media. And social media. And that was a problem that made this sequel.

People knew the sequel was happening as it was happening. And I think it was one of the, I mean, COVID kind of killed the sequel, the impact of it. I think it was just a weird time for it to come out. When you say sequel, you mean the subsequent movie film? The subsequent movie film.

Which I gotta say, I've only seen once. Yeah. And I'm sure it's better than I remember it. But it was just when it came out. It was so weird.

We'd all been by ourselves for. I don't know, seven, eight months. We just had a pretty tumultuous summer. And you know, there's an election coming. It just felt like the timing was wrong for it.

You know, I gave it a spin this morning. And I hadn't seen it since it came out. And I had forgotten it's, it's very Trump driven. Yeah. Like you're just like, I don't know.

I don't feel like spending time with all that type of shit. And I don't think it has the magic and also to your point. Like, or it was a huge deal. Huge deal at that point. He was everywhere.

Now, it's still there's some good things, like the Rudy Giuliani thing is absolutely insane. And they, like, sure that was a big touchdown for them. But it's not like this one. No, and that, that was another thing in the research. You could feel, because I was looked for are there anniversary pieces about the movie.

Yeah. Yeah. And there was a bunch of pieces in 2016 about the tenure anniversary of this movie. That were like these big thing pieces about. Borat was having fun with this stuff in 2006.

But now this is what our nation is becoming. And these people are winning and you could feel the tanner of what they're trying to do in the movie. Actually, shifting as it just became more kind of omnipresent as dialogue and Conversations that we were having. Yeah.

So it's, so I think the legacy of this movie is a little strange. It is because the stuff that he's doing in '06, some of it's really rooted in. It's five years after 9/11, right? He has that that joke in there about. So, will the Jews attack the World Trade Center?

“That's why they have to drive because they have one side of the drive.”

And some of that stuff was funny then. And really feels rooted in '06. And then some of the people who were making fun of, we all kind of made fun of those people. But now I feel like it would have been this politically polarizing thing to have a movie like that. So it just made me feel like more innocent times, weirdly.

And the South Park guys have said the same thing.

It's hard to do the show now because just that the reality is what our show used to be.

It's too much of a spoof. Right. It's not as right for the pick-ins. But, I mean, listen, when this movie came out, what was your relationship bill with, Like with the HBO show?

Because I was a massive fan. It's one of my favorite HBO shows ever. It was a big deal for me that they were making a movie. Yeah, yeah. I watched the show.

There were some characters that liked other, other more than others. I always thought Borat was the funniest one. So I was really happy that that they were going to like expand that universe. But it was just such a creative show. And in general, it was a really fun time for comedy because we were having the movie boom.

We had this whole generation of new comedians coming in. And then there was like some real experimentation going on on some of the cable channels. Yeah. That HBO to do that. Yeah.

Like I just remember watching it was early 2000s. That was that with Tevo it. Like it was 2002 and there'd be Borat Bruno and then Ali G and he was almost exclusively the sit down interviews. I mean, wasn't any of the road trip stuff. But he would sit down with like Buzz Aldrin and just be like,

Do you think man will ever walk on the sun? And then he'd be like, no, it's too hot.

“But then he'd be like, what about in the winter when it's cold?”

And I was dying laughing. And that's again, the writing. They had that shit so funny and so perfect. And his sit down with Andy Rooney where he walks off set and then Ali G's like, He's chucking me off because the color of me skin.

I was like, that's not my HBO Rushmore. Like I have it that high. I love it. Yeah. Well, I was, I was in LA ready for Kimmel Show at that point.

Yeah. And all of us were like,

it's almost over here. You know what I mean? You feel like you're in the same like, you know, stratosphere with that. What is it?

The other thing is it was hard to separate him and being from all those characters.

“It's, I think he's him and Mike Myers are the two where when they were trying to be normal.”

It always felt the most disorienting.

Any time you just saw Mike Myers being Mike Myers, it's like, I don't, what's, I don't understand what's happening. Like your normal person from Canada. It's just never felt right. Well, remember imagine if Sasha had tried to do like his so I married an axe murder,

where he's just a guy driving around like for instance or something. It's like a rock. And then it was. And then in real life, then he like, then he marries Island Fisher,

who's coming off wedding crashes. Yeah. Huge two. And then they're at this power couple. Yeah.

I think to your point, like post borot. Sasha Barron is like, I don't know. It was never my favorite thing. He would always be that he would be in these,

the, the Suini Todd. And he would be in Ricky Bobby. And he was always funny. It was just the Chicago 7 movie. Yeah.

We started the ringer. We were on the Sunsack Hour Studios. And he had a company there. And he had like an office space. And everything.

And we're always like, or we're going to run into him.

Like, what would it be like to run into him? And just kind of bracing for the disappointment that he probably. Like, hey, how are you doing? And not. Have you fun at all?

I've never met him. Yeah. Yeah. You never run into him HBO. Nothing like that.

No. Yeah. It's weird. No, too. But I'd be nervous.

He's, I think he's tall. Yeah. Physically, he's a little more imposing than maybe he'd realize. Most comedians are shorter. So you mentioned it was created for that.

Yeah. Yeah. Turn into the movie.

Most of the scenes were unscripted.

“The films participants, which I think people know.”

But for the most part, there's only four actors in this movie. And everybody else knows what's happening. They would have to sign releases and things like that. And then he had that dictionary that is easy. But the legend of the movie shoot.

The police were called on him 92 times. The FBI at one point followed him because they kept getting reports about a Middle Eastern man. Driving an ice cream truck through American. Yeah. And this was like height of post 9/11.

Sure. The director Todd Phillips, who's, you know, made most famously the Joker and the Joker sequel. But also did the hangover, all three hangovers and road trip. And I think it's one of the best comedy directors this century. Quit the movie after like 11 days.

Which I knew and forgot, but apparently after the rodeo scene. He's like, fuck this. Yeah. I'm out of here. Like people are trying to kill us.

I'm done. So the rodeo scene, he goes in. He, he does like these crazy, jingoistic comments about premier Bush drinking the blood of all the terrorists. Which is really funny. And he like revs up all the red necks.

And they're al, yeah, we love you. And then sings the Kazakh National Anthem to the tune of the star-spangled banner. It's just like all of the countries are run by little girls. It's fucking incredible. And then as they apparently, the people were like, I don't know.

They're going to lynch them or something. I don't know what was going to happen. And they had to bail fast.

“And I think Todd Phillips is like, I got a bail.”

I'm out of here. Yeah, they said they said there were some creative differences of them too. And I, there's a shocking lack about it. I'm information for this, considering this is one of the most successful comedies in this century. Todd Phillips is famous.

He quit the shoot. And it was really hard to figure out what happened. But one of the things from the research was that Osomot wasn't in the movie initially. And it wasn't until after they, so they bring in Larry Charles, who's. Yeah.

I think probably most famous for Kubrian enthusiasm, essentially, like pretty famous comedy guy. But it's also been something of a fixer. Like he was pretty legendary for kind of saving on Tara's early on when they didn't know what there would be on the scenes. And then he comes in and saves this movie.

And it becomes this triumph of thing. But yeah, Todd Phillips quits. And probably the right move. I mean, it was a huge hit that he walked away from. But he had a whole bunch of other movies too.

And it's like, I don't know if the creative differences were like, Sasha's going to die in this movie. And I'm not because I mean, that may scare the crap out of you being in that rodeo place. It's terrifying. There's like three dozen people.

But I also, you mentioned, you mentioned this character. I just want, I love peeling back the curtain on our, on our text chain. I want people to know that all of the conversations we had of a bore out leading up to this pod, Bill was all over Osama. I can tell you're a huge Osama fan, Bill.

I was always Osama. I'm number one for Osama. Even when he's cut us away, he comes back and he's on Hollywood Boulevard as chaplain. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. He's this character actor, what was his name? Ken Dividian. Ken Dividian. I wrote down it's, he's David Tyree.

Okay. He's like the miracle moment. Yeah.

“He is like, I have 32 career catches in my life.”

And I've been surrounded by career was over almost immediately. But I had this one moment that is probably the greatest superbowl moment of all time. And I showed it to a Malcolm Butler. Um, he was like this, if the research, he was like, one step lower than a character actor. Yeah.

He's just like, I don't know. You're doing ERC's in five and he's in the ER room for, with that one line. Yeah. Here's your step to scope. Here it is.

The headline about Osama, he's American. He's from LA. Right. He's an accent. He's doing an accent.

Speaking of actually Armenian, which is not the same language that Sasha speak. I think she's speaking Hebrew. He's speaking Hebrew. They're back and forth. They're not even talking in the same language.

And there's this great audition story where they bring in Ken Dividian. And he like, just does this whole rant in Armenian and screams and screams and screams and leaves. And they're like, wow, that guy was pretty good. And then like five minutes later, he came back and he walked in. Oh, hey, guys, they forgot my hat.

And they're like, holy shit. You're American. You're the part. You're immediately. And that was like the legendary. That's him catching an over Rodney Harrison from Eli.

Like, that's the moment. No question. And just one of the all-time weirdest bodies you've ever seen in a movie. I don't, I don't, did they cover up his dick?

“Did they need to because his belly was hanging over it?”

Like, I have no idea how to do that. That was an all-time. I don't know how they did that scene scene. All right. So do you want to get to that scene later?

Or do we do it now? Okay. First of all, you, as I'm out, you just said it perfectly. We've seen a lot of heavy or obese people on screen. Fine.

What is it about his that's so different? It's the strangest body that's ever been on camera. He has these crazy, like, playboy-looking breasts that look different from the other man's bare chest that I've ever seen.

And then his, you never actually see his dick the whole time.

You know, it's nothing, you see nothing. It's like he's a full, marsupial Kendall kangaroo. And then meanwhile it's so draught, jarring because as they're fighting, Borat is blurred out. Yeah. So you're like, why is Borat getting blurred?

And then they're not blurred as a map. But I still can't see it. It's so weird. But you do get to see his balls dangling over. Yeah.

Your face. Well, the other thing with him that I, I never knew this. So he's bouncing around as a character. And he's also running this like garbage business. Basically in Malibu.

He's like garbage collection, like sanitation. Yeah. And it's gone any own to couple lunch places in LA too. So he's kind of like this hustler businessman. Sure.

Get this contract to do some sanitation stuff in Mexico City. Goes down there. And it's unclear what happens. But he gets cleaned out and has to declare bankruptcy. Comes back.

He gives one more role at the acting thing and gets Borat.

And then basically that if you look at his IMDB, he's.

That's down down this for for 20 years basically. But this is nobody knows his name. He's the ultimate that guy. You just seem like awesome. Awesome.

But yeah. So he secured a waste management contract in Mexico City. And then the research says. His company was ill-prepared. David he maintain.

He was victimized by a corrupt system. But it ended multi-national litigation trade arbitration and bankruptcy. As a month. Come on, buddy. So.

And you know what? I watched the first five minutes of the sequel. And you're like, oh, as a month must have been so excited when they're making a sequel. Well, like, holy shit. I'm back.

And they. Borat sits down in a leather chair. And he gets up and realizes that they skinned Osamot and left his penis right on the top of the chair. So he's dead. So he doesn't even come back.

I bet you finally see his dick. We also had this movie had six different lawsuits, which we'll get to later for people who were in it, which is pretty fine. I really loved the relationship of Osamot and Borat. I really enjoy. I don't.

It's like a true buddy cop.

“It's the only thing I can think of that somewhere to it is coming to America with Eddie and Arsenio, like just like the lead guy with his like assistant dude and they just have this whole short hand.”

And the little, the assistant there to serve the other guy, but there's like a little tension too. It's just really. And the assistant's trying to get laid on the side too. And they're trying to make a buck a little bit. It is great.

And their chemistry is awesome in it.

And even though you never hear this speaking goes to each other and we never see condividing again.

Oscar nominated for best screenplay. Yeah. One golden gold for best comedy. I have some Oscar stuff coming later. This movie is 84 minutes.

Beautiful. Craig's not here today. But this is a minus 16 on the whole back scale.

I don't know if we've done a movie that's been 84 minutes. This might be the first one. We did like just one of the guys that is about 20 seconds long. And it's still longer than this movie. And by the way, it's fine.

I don't care. It can be even shorter. You just don't see 84 minute movies.

18 million dollar budget.

Yep. It made 262.5 million dollars and spawned a sequel. Roger Ebert could not find a review. No way. I think Roger set this one up.

“I think he probably would have liked it.”

Yeah. I'm sorry. Somebody wrote a review. But it didn't seem like it was him. We don't know how it feels.

So I watched this, I watched this twice. I've seen a bunch of times.

The first time I watched, I'm in a treadmill. I'm like, I'm going to bang out. I'm going to walk 4.0 in the treadmill and watch 4 at. And I almost, I almost kind of wobbled and fell like three times as a daily mistake. Because I'm laughing. The first time, the running of the juge is killed, man. I just, I hadn't seen it in a while and I'm just, the egg.

Yeah, it can be the shit out of the egg. And then it goes back to Erk in the town rapist. And he's saying goodbye to him. He's like, just only humans. And I'm just like trying to, and I could like barely do a straight line. But I like leaning the mechanic in the town of Borshenis.

His sister's the number four prostitute. And he's just off. We're like, hey, we're the kind of girl I've had. He's been ready. He's been ready to be doing jokes for 84 minutes. Buckle up. Borat in New York.

Uh-huh. You mentioned that the TikTok is basically ruin this. Mm-hmm.

“But I think my favorite is when the two ladies are walking to things.”

They very nice, how much? [laughs] Very nice, how much is a great one. My, my fucking hero is the most New York asshole guy. All the time.

When Borat gets in his face. And he goes, if you try to kiss me, I'll pop you in the fucking balls. And like that guy, like comes down from Westchester. He's a banker. He does cold plunge. He plays squash.

Like drives it. Like a really nice BMW. And he's not about to get touched on the fucking street. I'll pop you in the balls. He's definitely a dinner with Schreger and loogers. [laughs]

Well, they don't take credit cards cash only. [laughs] I'll take you. It's great. That guy sued the movie because he was upset.

That guy was portrayed. Disagree.

“I think you, I think you came off great.”

I would have been excited. Yeah, I'd be awesome. No, what he's doing. I mean, I have him down there for a possible deon waiters category. I like him so much.

I have a Pat Hagridi, the humor coach. Yeah. The suit is back, not. But the bellow story just absolutely kills me. And the first time I saw this movie,

I think I saw it with Jacko and House. Okay. They were here for, um, I didn't see the movie in the theater. I don't think. I don't remember why.

It was fun. Um, but we watched this and bellow fucking kill this. And we made bellow jokes for like a year after that.

They, you never get this and then one day he gets it.

He gets it. So I'm ashamed to say that. This has been a running joke on my house first. Oh, I love this. My kids.

Yeah. Just me talking to my son. He's like, are we gonna get this?

I don't know why it makes me laugh.

“But, um, so what is it when he asked for like, can I get a PS5 or something?”

Or can we have pizza for dinner? And then you, that's when it comes up. Yeah. Yeah. Can we go?

Are you gonna take me to the cup or game? I can't. I'm going with somebody.

You would never get this.

But they put him with Pat Hagridi who appears to be the least funny person ever put on camera. To teach him comedy. And he tells a story about his special needs. Brother breaking out of the cage to rape his sister. And then gets a high five from Pat about the story.

And Pat's realizing real time, oh God, they're filming this. Yes. And then he's like, you know what we need to teach this, this visitor or country? Let's do 2006 not jokes. Yes.

Which is 13 years, I think after Wayne's world, no one was making not jokes. And then Sasha Baron just butcher's it by fucking it up over and over. It's so good. Did you see there's a wide shot of the chalkboard where he's all these things. Yeah.

One side that has some of the darkest shit that I guess he was going to go through. I don't know if Pat Hagridi did that or the directors did that. Yeah. It's like the darkest and molestations. Yeah.

I got to think that maybe the directors did that because Hagridi is like a must. Stupid blazer with gold buttons like he's going to a piano recital. He's going to teach comedy. That's a great scene.

Bora watching TV, which is the second time I must fall off the treadmill because it kills me when he's flicking channels and buried with children comes out.

And albadi makes like sub-joke and birds. All right. We're so we're so in lockstep. I have this for what she's the best. Yeah.

Good old fashion hotel channel surfing posted up on your bed. Yeah. The service come in, you ordered a chicken case to deal. He flicks through cops married with children. A quick jingle all the way with our guy Arnold and Jake Lloyd. Yeah.

And then Baywatch. And it's like fuck I wish I could go back and just channel surf because Baywatch will go to commercial. Then you go back to married with children and then you go back to a little bit of jingle all the way. He's so happy and so am I. Yeah.

That's the liquid. Be careful CJ. That's it. This movie has so many good like 27 second. Moments.

Moments. And then at the feminist meeting when he. When he. It fades away for the dialogue and he goes that could not concentrate with the old bed. But say.

A lot of great church driving instructions funny. Borat crashing channel 16. First of all, hold on. I'm not in the feminist meeting where he goes. Hey, pussy cat.

Give me a smile. What's the matter? What's the matter, baby? What's the matter, baby? He's feminist women are dead serious about shit.

He's pussy cat and baby. And them killed me in the theater. Yeah. And then everybody laughed. And he said I'd know it.

They would this old man would say everybody laughed. It's mean. But they laughed. Anyway. Yes, go.

Driving instruction. Borat on channel 16. The weather man kills me in this. Love it. Worst of all time.

He's the only one who really fully understands how funny this is. We mentioned the Kruger Valley Dale Imperial Rodeo, whatever it's called. Yeah. Don't sleep on how great. I don't know if he's the head of the rodeo, the director of the rodeo.

Oh, I know where you're going. Just one of the one minute all time, whatever he is, he checks. He's cross the lines.

“Oh, the guy about that's what we're trying to get done here.”

And he gives the high five and all the end. And he talks about the gaze. Yeah. I love that he's talking about the gaze. And he's wearing like a yellow.

Like a bandana run his neck. Like some sort of scarf with his cowboy hat and his spurs. Where's he talking about? I still love the crowd shots. He's as he's getting them round up before the song.

Yeah.

And it's like the third time he cuts the crowd and he's like,

"We'll drink the terrace, but there's one guy in the crowd." He's like, "Yeah!" But he's like completely genuine. So that's nothing will live on their soil. But the lizard.

Hell yeah. Yeah. It's so funny just to watch the crowd. Um, how do you think though? I was going to do this in an answer most.

But how do you think the horse fell over? I felt like that was a legitimate thing. I think that's a random coincidence where maybe it was. Yeah. It's like a miracle.

Yeah. And then they cut right after it falls. Because it's like, I just think it happened. 'Cause I remember the TV ads. The horse falling.

The horse falling was like, "Borat, coming, you know, Monday or whatever." But the horse falling, it was almost like, "What is this movie?" It was just a miracle. And I think Todd Phillips left right after the horse fell.

“I have to, like, there's so much respect you have to give to their producers and all the people doing work.”

When they get the announcer to do that, please welcome Borat Sagdia from Kazakhstan. Like, it's so staged and set up and they obviously have a conversation about how to, and then he walks out there and his dumb walk. It's all set up so well, even before he starts singing. It's just so well done.

He's voice is definitely like not 100%.

Yeah. The Jewish Airbnb or wherever, the better breakfast studies that. I think this is my favorite scene. Wow.

“I think this is the most rewatchable for me.”

I don't know why. I think it's like a perfectly constructed comedy scene. And we should mention Sasha Barricone is Jewish. Yeah. And so a lot of the Jewish stuff he's doing in this.

It's pretty funny that he's flipping around. But just him going in there and then when he's, she was like, what do you mean Jewish? Why do, and she's like, well, we're Jewish. And all the sudden, like, the Halloween music comes in and they're looking around.

The shift in the shapes, the busting out of there. Like they're at the Django and chain. Like every piece of that, I think it's just like a perfect comedy scene. See, this is a referendum on the viewer on me. That to me is almost the P breaks scene.

And I'll tell you why. Oh, I went here. I feel so bad for those people. I'm getting old and I'm getting soft. And like those two people are so nice.

And they're like, here's your sandwich, here's your bed. Do you want another pillow? A welcome. These are my paintings. Wow.

He's calling them a devil and throwing money at them. It's like, I know that's the joke. And I know where he's coming from. But like, I get soft. Those people are so fucking nice.

See, the only people.

The only people I feel bad for this movie are the second ones.

The old man when he makes the old man joke, just her watching that after. But the one who takes the biggest, the next scene is the southern manor's diner. Oh, come on. Let's go. When he says, go on.

There's three wives. He's like, you, too. My country, man. That's so much. It's, it's just, it's absolutely dried by shooting at that poor lady.

And her husband's sitting there. Yeah. I was wondering if they should have cut that. It's the bad far the meanest moment in the movie. And a movie that's pretty mean.

They go crazy for the YouTube. And then pause. You're not so much Holy shit. That's brutal. So that has, it has the retired retarded where he's keeps getting confused by the guy.

Yep. Is it physical or mental? And then he goes, it's very nice. You let someone at table with retardations. No, no, no, no, no.

It's not what that's. That's old Ali's show stuff. That's all the time. But the poop in the bag is one of the crazy things. It's one of the craziest moments.

I think in a comedy. It's unbelievable.

I always forget how unbelievable it is.

A lot of unanswerable questions about was that.

“Was that actually his poop that he pooped at a bag?”

Did they get pooped from outside? What happened? Like, the lady's reaction is unbelievable. She's just like, oh, yeah. Like, she doesn't, I don't,

you, then you put yourself in the shoes of like, what would I do if this happened? Um, by the way, what do you do with the poop bag? You just take it and put it like in your street garbage cans? Because you can't like empty it in the toilet.

And you can't flush the bag. I guess you just take it to the street, like a dog poop, right? I wish, I wish Sasha was here. We could just ask him like, so the poop. Yeah, what ended up happening?

Yeah, what did you poured in the toilet? And then. And then throw the bag away. But that moment was so big that in the, I think it was at the end of the soprano's run.

The soprano's was best show and big show in the world. Remember, like AJ gets really depressed. And he ends up with the suicide attempts. Meadow comes in and is like, oh, my God. Did you see Borat when he brings the poop to the table?

It's so funny. And then AJ is like, it wasn't fair to the people involved. They were trapped. And like, there's a hole. I forgot about that.

Oh, my God. That shit scene in the soprano's about how funny it is. And Meadow's right. soprano's, by the way, probably the other funniest thing going on in 2006. And that was a poly Walnuts was really going to another level.

That was when we had the veto veto blow in the guy. No, no Johnny Cakes. No, when the guy Meadow's boyfriend's toe in the story. Yeah.

“No, veto wasn't veto was actually blow in the other guy and pause like, what?”

Son of a bitch. And Tony just walks away. What's the discuss? He's got to go. They're going to kill him because of that.

I mean, that's the funny story lines one of the best story lines ever. The naked fight we talked about. The giant blackout for Borat's cock was just such a great idea. It's like a foot and half. So I had a question about that.

Like, if Sasha's all in, like, why did they blur it? Did they blur it to make it joke because Borat's penis is bigger? Yeah, I think I want to show some penis. I think it's his dick is so big. We had to do this giant.

But he's also like producing the movie. Some maybe he's trying to, you know. Yeah, he's trying to make it bigger. Sasha's just fully visibly naked. The whole time and you just see it.

I think I'm better with this version. It's hard to, I mean, it's so good. I think he just leave it as it is. But I had that under picking nits. I'm like, why you, that's a half measure.

Let's see it.

But I think you might be right.

It's an all-time comedy scene. The only reason it's not most rewatchable in the movie for me is Azimats that there's like 10 seconds here that it's among the most disgusting things that I've ever been in a movie. Yep. Like, Azimats, I wouldn't point his like spreading Azimats cheeks.

It looks like a lot of holes in balls. They fight. Then they go to like a doggy style position. Yeah. And then they get into 69 where his balls are on Borat's face.

And then Azimats sits down on his face like, Yeah. And that is when it's the most disgusting by far. It's, it's really horrifying. This is when they won the Golden Globe and Sasha gets up there and he tells the story of that scene and his acceptance speech.

And he says, my choice was either death or to breathe in the air that had been trapped in a small pocket beneath his buttocks for 30 years. If not for that rancid bubble, I would not be here today and everyone goes crazy at the Golden Globes. It's perfect.

I did see this in the movie theater because I definitely saw that scene in the theater.

That's the one you remember. I just remember the sit.

“When I watched it with Jaco, that's what it was.”

Jaco, one of them hadn't seen her both of them hadn't seen it. And that's how I was reliving it through them. But I definitely thought they would get to the elevator. Yeah. And then the one guy standing in the elevator who won't look at the camera and won't leave a laugh out loud hilarious.

And then they go into the stupid realtor's conference and are fighting and getting tackled. It keeps going. It's people screaming. I was screaming. The elevator scene can tell if that was rigged or not.

Which part? When they get in the elevator with all those people. It's like I just feel like I would be way more horrified if two naked guys came in the elevator with me. And there's women in there. Yeah.

There's a dude in there. The elevator part I can't speak to.

There's there's stuff out there about the realtor's conference where that was like the third time that they did that.

In a different conference room. Because in the first two times like no one did anything. They just sat there and didn't really react. Sometimes people in those conferences are just so comatose and leconic. They just don't react.

But finally they got up and tackled them and all that shit. And that's the one they did. They had to do that shit three times. Pamela Anderson scene. Yeah.

Apparently she knew she was in on it. But the bodyguards weren't. So they actually tackled him and did all the thing. He's been trying to bag her as well. Absolutely.

How you come up with that. Oh, I. I jumped ahead. The Pamela Anderson. There's two more before that that I got my.

The frack eyes in the van. I'm infamous in infamous in. We hit the slavery misogyny and his semantics and trifecta. Somebody says at one point our country, the minorities have more power. They put in the Pam tape.

And they're trying to explain them.

“She's no virgin born at and say, no, what do you mean?”

They keep calling them Boris. And then at the end, the one of the truck. I says, do not let a woman ever ever make you who you are. I can't decide if that was great advice or an incoherent. That's the coach Vince Taco Ward.

Do you not let a woman ever ever make you who you are? What does that even mean? I think you do whatever she says and you follow her around as some sort of antiquated bullshit. Like that. Guys, it's drunk as hell.

Jack and Daniel. That's a hammer. The one guy, the guy in the middle is about his hammer as you can be on camera. The one who says I call people and then I have sex with them. I don't call them back.

Yeah. Boy, it's like you don't call them because they don't have phone. The right thing is like, no, no, no. It's because they don't have my respect. That was like a, that was a big talking point.

I feel like that was like, would have been on the view and all that. Kids quote unquote where they victimize. And I watched it now.

“This this time back ready to be like, do I feel defensive of not at all?”

Let's kids are fucking idiots. I was in a fraternity. I was a president of a fraternity. Those guys are adults. There's a big ass camera filming them.

They know they're on camera. It was like, I didn't feel any protectiveness at all those idiots at all. Couldn't agree more. Then Borac gets cleansed in the church. That was a long go.

That was the best. And then the Pamela thing. So what do you have for most of the watchable? It's between the dinner scene and the naked fight. The naked fight is the most memorable scene.

I actually think the dinner scene is the most Sasha Baron Cohen scene that you could possibly do with the talk and the Shitting and then not so much you. So I also don't think I need to rewatch as a Matt that much. Like once a year, I'll just make it as I think it's a dinner table scene for me. I like the Jewish air being be read in a Southern manners dinner as my favorite stretch of the movie.

What's the most, 2006 thing about this movie? Pre-social media. Me 2000's Muslim resentment is in high gear and they're tapping it to that.

They are. The Pam Anderson tape like a little bit of nostalgia. It's been 10 years since it happened. She's been kind of like six, seven years out of the line line. Everything with her.

Feel like 2006 is the perfect spot to do all that. Pam having an autograph line and not a selfie line feels very 2006. At a virgin mega store. Yeah. At a virgin mega store.

And I got it. Listen, I got to say. I had a very close relationship with the Pam with tape. Like that got me through college. Yeah.

It dropped right when I got into college.

And you would download like eight second clips of it from limewire or something like that.

And you just could not fucking believe what you're saying. But we should do the Pam Anderson tape and the re-watch was. Want to be doing that? Let's get in here. You me in van.

We'll just do it. It really was 2001 a space out of sea for sex tapes. It was a big bang theory. The other one I have is the iPod Mini. Where the neighbor that he hates in Kazakhstan.

That, that, that, Borat has an iPad. And this guy has an iPad mini and he's pissed off about it. Like that. So 2006. You're talking about Nusutontrulli Akbar.

Yeah. So they're sitting in the right of the room. All right, guys. We have a comedy classic. We got to stick the landing.

Our last joke of the movie. What's it going to be? Let's make an iPod mini joke. Not even an iPod joke. In the greater iPod expanded universe.

A joke within a joke. Everybody know that for girls.

“Like, I think that's the most 2006 thing.”

The iPod mini closer. The walk off. Uh, the Floyd Gondoli butter on my ass and Lali pop some out the word for something. I just enjoy. What do you have?

What do you have? I had channel surfing in a hotel room by yourself with room service. Just jumping around and seeing dumb TV shows. I had a comedy that takes place in really low budget local news TV. Um, this has been a huge resurgence for that whole industry with Instagram.

Yeah. And Instagram rills. And the amount of funny things that happen on these weird. These things that are being broadcast and Jacksonville, Mississippi or, like, Akron Ohio, these places where you don't realize how much comedy comes out of this.

So all these weird people. They're either at the beginning of their careers or the end of their careers.

There's never anyone in the middle.

And just weird shit happens. So I was glad that some of my favorite clips. And the local news bloopers. There's one of them where the lady says coming up. He climbed Mount Everest, but he's gay.

I mean, he's blind. Excuse me. She messes it up. And it's like my wife and I watch that and laugh every single time. Yeah.

It's for everyone. All ages can laugh at local news bloopers. And it's that that new station they go to is Jackson, Mississippi, Media Market, 99. Yeah.

We just stands up in the middle of the interview. And when we start, can I have microphone? We are live. The guys doing weather for Kazoo City or whatever. What's the age of best?

What do you got? What's age the best? I have just we've kind of covered him. Pre smartphone public fuckery where nobody's tweeting the boroughs out.

“I remember when I was a sophomore in college.”

Tom Green came to campus. Tom Green was like, was starting to do a show on HBO. All right, MTV and like everyone was just talking about it. Spread like this room. Like, oh my god, Tom Green's here.

Tom Green's here. Everyone ran to go and find him. But we weren't tweeting about it. There were no camera phones. It was nothing and watching this guy at the rodeo in New York City.

And all anybody has in their hands is a beer. It's awesome. And I miss it.

I have a you will never get this saying in a real life.

I have kid rock divorcing Pam Anderson after he saw this movie being mad. And what is this? I heard about this. He said he just reacted very unfavorably. And there's thought she was. Sets a bad words.

Good for her though, get away from kid rock. He took rock things that she was a virgin like Borough. I like what kid rock. Have you ever seen Pam Anderson? Kazakhstan in 2020 changed their travel slogan to very nice.

So congrats to them. The language section of the DVD. If you choose Hebrew funny stuff happens. I would encourage that if you have it. And then you mentioned how they filmed it three times.

The the naked running into the conference scene. Mm-hmm. The first time was an engineering lecture in Dallas. And nobody really reacted. I almost could that could almost be like a mini documentary to me.

How do you not react to that? I don't know. If two naked guys running in your conference and people are like, Oh, that's weird. What the fuck?

Um, my number one would say it's the best though. Yeah. I wrote down eight random lines that just make me laugh.

“Just like throwaway lines, which I think is a key to this movie.”

All right, all right. I mentioned one already. Erka, not too much raping humans only.

when they're he's buying the car.

The car seems great. We didn't even talk about that.

“And he's doing the price, and he goes, how about 85?”

It spits on a sand for the handshake. You guys, that's a 117. Why don't we call it 85? No. Let's call it 117.

It's great. Um, when Azimata is cleaning him and he turns around and he goes, has my back pussy. [laughter] [laughter]

Now, her regime, hang like sleeve of wizard. Wizard. I'm believable. Then he talks about when he was with the guys from the parade, and he goes, even though my end news was broken,

it just like throwaway start to a monologue of a new part. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Azimata, when they're in the silver war, store after he breaks the stuff. Yeah.

And then they're trying to go sh-- Azimata goes, have you offered the pubic care? We're taking it already offered. Making romance explosion on our stomach, just that's thrown in there.

But then when he's yelling at Azimata on Hollywood Boulevard and the Grim Reaper comes over. Oh, hey, broke off death. Yes. [laughter]

Those were all like the random throw is they killed me. Anyway, great shot gorder war, most cinematic shot. Probably more at after getting touched by Jesus when they have the watch out of him,

and he kind of rises up.

“But it's not like this is a crazily direct movie.”

No, no, in fact, it's deliberately low fight. The one that really makes me laugh, it could be the cover of the movie. Azimata is, like, freshening up with a swamp and, like, splashing water all over his neck.

And then they pan-right and Borat just pissing into the same water. [laughter] I could be an album cover. It's so good.

I love it. Great Psych egg. Chess Rocco, Brocklanders, who are for best character name. I'm--

Come on, bag it off. [laughter] I got in the finals. I got Azimata bag it off and Nusuton Tulli, Akbar.

[laughter] And files. All right. We don't get to hand this category over here. We got--

We got the Indiana Jones Rinse of Body Outer Award. [laughter] So, writer Dan Mayzer said, Sasha Franco and lived in that mustache hair for a year in his life.

Wherever he went, he never changed

because he thought Borat would smell. He's a method actor. He only had that suit and that underwear, the whole time, and he reaped.

Disgusting. Like, he-- No driving through like the south. Like there's sweaty parts. I can't even imagine how

bad he smelled. And think about all he does. Everything he does is so physical. He's always grabbing the people and touching them and wrestling and hugging them.

And it's like-- I don't--

“I think body odor is like way more disgusting”

than bad breath. Yeah. Farts. You name--body odor is fucking rancid. When I read that about his suit

was never washed doing the deep south. Like, I-- I--my mouth dried up. It's so gross, but it's also so perfect for Borat.

So where would you put it on a scale of zero to Indiana Jones? It might be like a 9.8. [laughter] Well, Indies comes from his own

like kind of skin and chest. Like he has--he's scantily clad. Borat with a dense thick fiber suit. I think it is-- it's over a nine for sure.

I'd rather smell Indie than smell Borat. I mean, Indies in some really hot countries. He's like-- Yeah, definitely. Yeah, definitely.

Like take food for like months. [laughter] [laughter] Kidcutty pursued happiness award. I can either go stepping will of sporn to be wild

or MC Hammer can't touch this. Oh, I need to decide. It's--the music in this movie is like a deliberately corny, foreigner idea of American music.

Don't sleep on the second.

They see Pamela. We hit the take my breath away. [laughter] It's like--I would say, Borat would be wild as probably

the cheesiest road trip song you could ever come up with. So I would go with that. It's the generic, generic version. Yeah. All right, we're going to take a break

come back with your Flex category. All right, Flex category. What do you got, Kyle Bramp? All right, so we're on the same page build because I went with maybe my favorite name

to category, which is the I used to fuck guys like you in prison award for the craziest line in the movie. Yeah. You wrote down a few.

I have three. These are the ones like, when he does the narration, it's so well written because he starts talking normally

and then just as you think he's just going to give us narration, he sucker punches you right at the end. Like, my hobby is ping pong. Some bath, disco dancing and on weekends

I trail to capital city and watch live this while they make a toilet. Like fucking crazy. And it's a good shirt. Thank you, by the way.

All right, number two. I arrive in America's airport with clothings. US dollars and a jar of gypsy tears to protect me from AIDS.

It's that one. And then as the one you already said, which I'm saying to get you my favorite line in the movie. The only thing keeping me going

was my dream of one day holding Pamela in my arms. And then making romance explosion on her stomach. What romance explosion

It's going to be a podcast.

I love it. Fucking awesome. I watched this movie this week and I was texting my friends about romance explosion

and it was all. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. It's so good. Home read. The,

got two awards for the naked fight. The he got game hooker scene for most awkward scenes for someone randomly walks in the room. And obviously not just because you're here.

The Steven Seagull hard to kill did this movie need a better intimacy. To make her. It might have.

You don't really think about intimacy coordinators. You know, beyond just the normal sex scenes. But I think we might have needed somebody

on set for this. Like, don't put Osma, don't put your asshole in Sasha Barracone's face.

Like he might actually get hepatitis.

Question about that. I don't unanswerable. Do you think that Osma washed thoroughly before that scene like did he get down

under there and like clean all that? Like emotional courtesy. Yeah. Because Bora is not washing. We just started.

He's going to stink. So when Sasha's putting, how many times does they do that scene? You might have put his face in their ten times. Is it like porn?

“Like I think and remember like Becky Burnett”

and she's like, he's like, I'm going to go wash my vagina. You want to clean, don't you? Yeah. Yeah.

Did Osma say, I'm going to go wash my grundle. Like you want to clean don't. I would hope that there was a washing that happened before that scene.

Do you think this is the only podcast that somebody can seamlessly tie Becky Burnett and Osma together and everyone listening when they what that means? I said you got it.

I think it is. So that's why we're closing in on 500 episodes. That's right. The Butch is girlfriend award for week link of the film. Honestly, the length.

I wish this movie was ten minutes longer. It's too short. A father's main. I feel like there's two more scenes and I have an idea for a scene later.

But I know it's a whole leave you wanting more. But I really feel like there's that you're on a road trip. You can literally go anywhere. You can give me any other two three minutes scene. I just feel like we're sure.

Well, we have it. The deleted scenes are funny. Yeah. Put 'em in. You know, six minutes.

How about a clean 90? Just kidding. It's a normal set piece. But why 84? Who decided that?

What do you have? The only time I remember it.

“The Butch is girlfriend being the movie's too short.”

I think we said this thing for Robocop, which is also really short. Yeah. It's a rare handout though. I'm back to the same thing with mine.

The, the, the weekling of this movie is, is it really fucked up? Like, I know it's funny. And I'm not being super serious about it. But in the power ranking of people that I feel the worst for.

Oh, yeah. That, that etiquette lady who teaches him how to, like, be a gentleman at a dinner. She is this, like, apparently nice looking mother, grandmother, maybe so polite.

And she's the one who he breaks out the polaroids with the kid and he's just big old thick hanging out. Right. So it's one thing that lady has to see those pictures. It's disturbing.

Bill, this movie was in every AMC, every synapse around the country around the, around the most of the world. That woman in her life to this day is, like, you looked at the cop pictures with that guy.

Like, that's humiliating for that woman. And it's not like the, the bigoted fraught boys. Fuck them and all the racist and anti-semites. There's a nice woman teaching them how to have manners at the table. Right.

And if you really sit with it for a second,

it's kind of fucked up. That's the weekling. Yeah, that, the, the lady at the manners. Dinner. It takes the shot.

So feminists here. Yeah. Yeah. There's a couple. Couple tough.

Would stage the worst. You mentioned this earlier. People doing Borat impressions after the movie. Yeah. The wins were the fact.

So wins were the 90s that happened. Borat in the 2000s. I'm not sure what the 2010s version is. Of the movie, that immediately people began imitating. And then kind of ruin the movie a little bit.

Well, everyone would definitely do a lot of anchor man in the 2000s. And then maybe the hangover or something like that. But the Borat one was the worst. Like, and I had this for, for apex mountain.

“Do you think this apex mountain for movies that set off like accent frenzies?”

You know, everyone, like shout out to our movie Fargo. Everyone was going, oh, you betcha. Yeah, and any Arnold movie, everyone would do that. But like every person under the sun was saying, hi, five, my wife. And it wasn't on.

Yeah. Borat says the aneward of this movie, that's awesome. He does. He does. Rufflow here in a Rubinig, partridge overacting a word.

I don't know. It's a bucket better. Yeah, I didn't have one either. I got one. I did have one age the worst though.

This is, you're going to. Yeah. I wish Craig was here because he would relate to this. Watching porn with your boys. Like, they're on that motorhome.

And they just throw on a DVD of porn. And they're just like sitting around drinking and watching it. Yeah. I don't think this generation does that or would get it. No.

It was a thing back in the day. You would have a video tape and seven of your friends would just sit around watching porn together and laughing at it. And that's why. Because the porn were so fucking funny back then.

Yeah. And the 70s and 80s stuff was you'd watch it. And just as like you're watching a movie. Good idea. So at that might be it.

What's age the best. That's true.

How does take a word?

I, I'd like to test drive Sasha Baron Cohen is in the best actor race in 07.

Oh, what do you got? Let's go. Forest Whitaker wins for the last king of Scotland. Yeah. Leo and Blood Diamond.

Ryan Gosling, half-nelson. Peter O'Toole and Venus and Will Smith and the pursuit of happiness. I'm bumping Peter O'Toole. That was an old man award that he got nominated. We're putting Sasha Baron Cohen in there.

Once again, we've talked about this all month. The Academy does not respect commoners. There's no way. Him and Borat was not one of the five best performances in 2006. So I think he should be in there.

I, I don't love Leo there either. In the accents, ridiculous and blood diamond. We know that. It's, you laugh at it when you watch it. He's done much better roles.

He. That's a romantic circle. I don't know. I mean, that. Bank.

Bank. Bling.

What is Leo doing there, dude?

I love better roles for Leo. But I think it would have been worth him winning it just for the speech that he would have given. Yeah. The Oscars. Oh my God.

That's another reason. It gets up to the Oscars. Best actor in a supporting role.

“I don't know if you want to test drive Osama here.”

But. Of course, I do. Let's start it off. Alan Arkin wins for Little Miss Sunshine. Jackie, Earl Haley, Little Children.

Demon Hunsu for Blood Diamond. Eddie Murphy, Dream Girls, Mark Wahlberg for the departed. I don't think there's room for Osama, unfortunately. I'm happy. That's five.

Yeah. It's Alan Arkin. Fuck a lot of women in the middle of Miss Sunshine. That's good. I like that role.

What do you have for how to stay? All right. I'm going to kiss his eye. My hardest take is, I think we as a culture should go back to doing the kiss left kiss right breathing.

I'm kind of into a bill. I think it's it's quick left right. It's crisp. It's got a classy and deaf and air. You got to be secure with yourself.

And honestly, like in terms of like, you know, germs and stuff, hands are a lot more disgusting than faces. We're touching everybody's hands all the time. I would just kiss kiss. And I'm not even saying like, you know, like with your wife's friend, you know, really.

I'm talking about like with your boys. Like you show up to a fantasy draft and just start knocking out left right kisses. I like Isaiah and magic would do it. Like they're saying kind of retro cool to it thing. That's my take.

I think we should bring that back. You think, you know, they COVID ruined it. I think it's back now. We have our next pandemic is coming, but before it does, let's do a little kiss kiss.

“And the best thing that Bora does occasionally, he'll push his luck.”

It'll go kiss kiss and then down the floor. And only to men. Never the women. It's so good. Casting wood if the weren't really any except for Johnny Depp, George Clooney and Steve Martin.

All wanted to be in the movie because they loved Sasha Baron Cohen and he was like, no thanks. Best that cat word. Can dividing. Yeah. He became.

I didn't even know who he was. Now he just became awesome. Damn waiters. I could offer you Lonell the prostitute. Bora's first wife, Foxanna.

Drunk. South Carolina, Frac guy.

You know, we didn't never saw it below, but I still feel like he's eligible.

He's a bit. His presence looms. The gypsy estate sale lady. Pamela Anderson and then the cute couple that owned the Airbnb or whatever it's called. I think car salesman is does his job and that he just lets Bora get every joke out.

They start to scene with, what does a car for women who is shaved down there? And he goes, well that'd be a corvette. That guy's totally game. Yeah. But I think the minimal amount of work with the maximum impact is Bora's son, Hughie Lewis,

who is holding him in the photographs, which is his full dick out. And then as if that wasn't enough, you go to the next picture and his Bora's face right next to the penis. Yeah. She ain't how proud he is of it. I think it's Hughie Lewis the son.

That's the best. I love the funniest thing is how they spell it. They spell it. H-O-O-O-E-Y. Who is it?

It's all together, too. Yes. So good. What an homage to Hughie Lewis. Okay, recasting couch directors.

Yeah. I have one here. It's a borderline nipic too. Okay. And it ties into my theory that this movie should be longer.

It's incredibly upsetting.

“And I think a huge mess in the biggest flaw of this movie that we don't have a vagus scene.”

Okay. It's just fucking sitting there. We're driving east to west. We're coming up from Texas toward California. It's a no brainer.

We could have some sort of Borat gambling scenes. We're so right. We get the tie-in to like the weird casino world. Him trying to figure out what's happening. Him doing something funny and strip cup could be in there.

Blackjack roulette. I just feel like it's the easiest six minutes they ever could have had. It really bumps me out. Soon. That's like if you just sit in a blackjack table and he just happens to start touching the cards.

Like grabbing chips from other people.

Yeah. It's just you know what he would do.

“He would take out his bag of pubic hair and like try to put that to double that on.”

And then the pit boss would come over. That's do that's a great idea. How do they do that? The roulette. Him betting on some crazy number because it reminds him of and something truly offensive from his family.

I don't know. There's just so many ways to go in a casino. The face. The pool. You could do the mancini at the pool.

Yeah. But as a mod and like the topless pool at the win. Yeah. The whole movie could be Vegas. Of course.

That could be the sequel. Yeah. Born at Goast and Vegas. Really missed out. Half as a research.

We mentioned a bunch of this stuff. So you mentioned who we Lewis. Yeah. Played by an adult porn star named Stony. Okay.

Who was on the on the gay side of the porn. Okay. 60 movies. Nearly 50 box covers nominated for a 2001. Yeah.

What's going on in the work? Yeah. Yeah. The AVN. There's a gay-VN award.

Is that what they did? The gay-VN. I don't know if he has pan plus has been looking at it. I know. Well, after Borat Stony becomes a trans porn star named Brittany Cox.

And it's spelled COX Capital Second X Lower Case Third X.

I like it. So that's all my research on who we live in. Yeah. I'm proud of you. Did the work.

That's great. DVD includes several deleted scenes. We talked about some of them. One of them was getting a massage at a hotel. Great.

Another was visiting an animal shelter to adopt a dog that can protect him from Jews. That's not a funny. Sure. We go back to 10 minutes. There's a couple.

And then we mentioned that porn scene one. And then people that sued the movie and lost. The two-frapper others, a guy in the subway when the chicken got released on the subway. The Baltimore Driving instructor wanted 100,000 and damages didn't get it. The getaway, shriekers buddy from a Peter Lugger stay in the fucking balls.

Yeah. He didn't get it. Everybody lost to try to sue them. And the guy Dan Mayzer said that they had somebody used to be public enemies lawyer who was semi-retired, who was just crushing every suit.

Yeah.

“What happened with that driving instructor at the end of the scene in boards?”

Are you my friend? He's like, yes, I'm your friend. Do you like me? I said, what would you be my boyfriend? There I go.

I'm like, well, yeah, all right. I could be your boyfriend. And then the scene cuts. What was that? Was he trying to take a run?

I don't know. Maybe that's why he sued. I think that was pretty cool. The rest of the scene. And then immediately, he's like, yeah, I'll be your boyfriend.

Holy shit. What are they going to get? Yeah. The news producer of the Jackson Mississippi show claim afterwards at Boret's appearance. Let's let her losing her job.

Well, I hope not. I'd like to hear it. And then Todd Phillips leaves. This is just random. Todd Phillips, they shoot for 11 days.

Todd Phillips leaves because they created differences. They're trying to figure out how to add some stuff. Sasha Baron Cohen's playing basketball. Gary Schindling's house has some sort of thing and breaks his foot. And now is out for another eight to ten weeks.

So they filmed the movie and had to stop for like basically three months because of the director. And then because somehow a Gary Schindling's house, which by all accounts was not the most heated basketball game every week. Yeah, I want to hear what's the run like there?

I've never heard of the Gary Schindling game.

I mean, I know some of the people that played in that game. And I don't think it was exactly super competitive. So somehow he broke his foot anyway. And then they found there. All right.

You know, back in my day, I used to do some games. I used to play some games with people who know. I used to go to a Mike Tolen game. I would go to Brian Robbins game. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But I never did the Gary Schindling. Holy shit. That's cool. A lot of comedians going. Yeah.

Yeah. Apex Mountain. Sasha Baron Cohen is yes.

“I think this is the biggest T's ever been after this movie.”

Huge. It signed it. Whatever you wanted to do after this. Yeah. I said the movie gets shown up in the sopranos.

He's everywhere. He breaks character. When's the golden glove? Definitely. Pussy magnets.

Apex Mountain. I think it has to be. The guy. There's not an actual magnet. They just mean the car.

Yeah. Okay. It's okay. I still can. Can you install?

I'll give you money. That's such a great bit. Get you how many movies? Is it better than Wayne's world? I love Wayne's world.

But it's close. I have to think about that. Maybe it's it's it's. The 2000s version of Wayne's world. Hmm.

Can the video definitely. Yep. Sox full of shit. I'm gonna say yes.

And I say yes.

So hotel Wellington, yes.

Lunal who played the prostitute. And then has bounced around on some other stuff. But this is probably the peak I'm guessing. I have a knit to pick with Lunal. They should have cast a real prostitute.

I don't like that they cast an actor for that. I remember when I saw the movie I recognized her because she had been in some things. Yep. And I was like, what the hell just got a real prostitute. It takes me out of it.

The more real actors they have in the worst of gets. I don't think they should have done that. It's good to take potassium exporters. The best in the world. Yes.

Yes. Shape shifting cockroaches. Let's say they apex that one. Pamela Anderson know. And then naked braels.

100% us. I have male nudity in movies. Is that it? And I will give you. Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Jason Siegel full frontal.

It's not a back in that, too. They can't. Yeah. It's a restaurant. These two promises.

Vigo Mortensen in the bath house. Jackass had a lot of nudities. But that's not the same. And then the boogie nights male nudity was fake at the end.

“I think it's apex for male nudity in a non porn movie.”

Interesting. I can't think of a better one. Unless it's, unless it's just Jason Siegel just standing there with his big penis. Try and think of it else. I didn't prep and thank God I didn't.

Because that. But Google said to be. You're going to do the capital action. I'm already getting a trouble for Sony. But my research at his 2001 game.

Yeah. Cruz or Hanks. I think Hanks probably is a better chance of pulling up Borat. But I think Cruz is would be funnier. What if he was in the less gross when fat suit as a mob?

I'll maybe probably get it done that. I think for to be Cruz, you would have to take some of that. He would have to take T.J. Mackie's sexual energy. Yeah. And he like respect the cock.

I find it. And then he does his dumb accent from far and away. He would take a lot of work to get kids there. And Hanks kind of has the hair and the mustache and the suit. Yeah.

He's basically doing the kid from big with an accent. Yeah. Scorsese or Spielberg. What do you think, bud? Tough one.

I'm going to probably say Scorsese for this one. Yeah. And you would get you would get to see Borat on cocaine.

Which is always I'm always into there.

Yeah. Because I could have done it in Vegas. Yeah. Pick it nits. Who is the cameraman the whole time?

Mm-hmm. I won't point the cameraman gets nailed in the naked fight. He came out of my runs that runs the camera. I got into him. Somebody called the camera.

Yeah. I don't know. The time I'm in the road trip where in D.C. We go to miss Mississippi for the 6th or 16th thing. And then we go backwards to Virginia for the rodeo.

Mm-hmm. It's at a sequence. It should have gone. D.C. Virginia miss the city. Remember also when they leave Kazakhstan.

They do the Indiana Jones map thing. And they do like six loops throughout Europe. Yeah. I'm not sure their navigation is pristine. Yeah.

That's a good point.

“And then I think the bear is kind of ridiculous.”

That would be my one. It's not a weekend line. It just does. It's just weird. I don't care.

They got a big laugh in the theater when the bear grows at the kids. And they scream. Yeah. But I'm just here for awkward moments with Bora. Yeah.

I don't care about the bear in the ice cream truck that much. They had to make a movie. I get it. But that's not my favorite part. Any other pick and that's?

I just say don't these handlers have any kind of better awareness that they're being like absolutely hoodwinks when they agree to have Allen keys sit down for an interview or their favorite part. I know. Any of those people.

Like those are major politicians. You probably got to go through it. And I know that they're really slick with how they pitch it and they have fake production companies and stuff. But like at one point when you're sitting with Allen keys and you talk about like a rubber

at fist going up your anus from like a one point was like holy shit. Stop this. How does it get to that? Yeah. I mean, that's probably what happens.

And that is so mad.

“Like is Allen keys fucking firing somebody about that?”

Probably. Yeah. I'd be mad. It's a. Sequel prequel prestige TV all black cast aren't touchable.

They did a sequel. So we have our answer for that. OK. Yes. Is this movie better with Wayne Jenkins?

Ferguson, the florist, Zano, Robert Evans or somebody else. What do you think, Albert? You know what I'd really like to do? I'd like to take the guy at the church. The let that tongue go guy who puts the hands and I'd like him to just do a

rundown on all the rewatchables hosts and just get the shit out of them. And just say, Sean fantasy. Do you really need all that physical media bullshit? Let that tongue go, let that tongue go, let that tongue go, let that tongue go, let that tongue go, let that tongue go, let that tongue go, let that tongue go, let that tongue go.

That's the boy. We get that guy to the list. Was it? Was it everybody?

I don't know what tongue go guy. From boy.

“Ben Lathen, do you really not attracted to white women?”

Let that tongue go, let that tongue go. That guy steals the show. I want to redo all of you. That's that's great. I actually had one for this.

What do you got? I mean, this is really going to appeal to all of your bones. Oh, let's go. What if naked borat naked asthma crashed the 1993 international association, cardiologist conference in Chicago as Dr. Charles Nichols was speaking.

And Charles Nichols said, ladies and gentlemen, my friend Borat's second half

doesn't feel well. We just got to work again. There you go. I'm sorry. I was about them in the middle of the speech.

Oh, my gosh. And then Borat. Did you kill my wife, too? Did you falsify the research? So you could give them professor.

You switch to the samples. Barnais. Oh, my God. That's awesome. Yeah.

I remember when you guys, a couple of years ago, you guys did fugitive in Chicago. And you had invited me to attend it. I was so excited. My whole thing as I'm like, Bill, I just want to walk in from the back of the audience at the end of the pod and just do a full gimbal and walk up on stage and just do the whole thing

and do the whole thing. Did you kill Shakespearean or two? Did you? And I just couldn't get there in time. Fuck.

But that is a great inclusion of Dr. Charles Nichols.

Got this. Awesome. Just want to ask her who gets it. Screenplay? Or would you go?

No, I can't. Can Sasha bear a coin. That's exactly accurate. Yeah. Let's do it.

Unanswerable questions. We actually did the ones I had for this about whether it was Sasha Baron Cohen's poop and a bag. Did you have any other ones? I did.

It washes ball sack before the fight scene. I already asked it. Let's ask Ken Dividy and right now. Ken? Yeah.

“The secret handshake club members believe won from this movie.”

What do you got? I wasn't going to say the man Keenie and I know that I used to go to the beach and Santa Monica after the movie came out and there'd be guys wearing that thing just for laughs. But now, since we've been through the pod, I want the polaroid of his son who we Lewis and I want the one holding him up with his barrel penis down there.

Just keep it in my mouth. Yeah. I think I would want the Baywatch book. Oh, yeah. The actual Baywatch book that he had with the little towel that he had over to make it seem

like it was the Quran. Yeah. I would want that whole package. With a red water panties. That's a great book.

I like it. Coach Finstock, Mr. Miyagi word for best worst life lesson. It's got to be that fracking, right? What does he say? Don't let a woman define you.

Don't do not let a woman ever, ever make who you are. Yeah. I'm going to go. I have written down. I like you.

I like sex. It's nice. That's all I got. Best double featured choice. I have best in show and then Borat in that order.

I go.

“Christopher Guest first, then I go Borat.”

I think that's how it would have to go. I got Bruno. We talked a lot about the Bruno movie. Yeah. Really liked it.

Some amazing scenes at one point Bruno visits like a psychic medium. And he makes his Bruno's ex boyfriend who died appear. And then Bruno does a full full ratio sequence with finish. Like it's really, really graphic. And you're screaming again in the theater.

I watched Bruno, which I thought was not as good as Borat, but was still funny. Who won the movie? Sasha. Sasha. Well, that was easy.

Borat. We did this. Probably almost the exactly the amount of time of the movie. Yeah. And we have no Craig, right?

No, Craig. All right, Kyle Brett. What have you got going on? As we head into the summer here. Oh, well.

I made my main voyage to Bristol, Connecticut last night.

Bill, I'd never been there before, but I did these schedule release.

I went to Bristol. And it's by the way, it's bullshit. There's no mascots in the hallway. There's no, uh, nobody's saying follow me to freedom. There's none of that shit.

I thought there was going to be like this is sports center. It's not like that at all. There's no patent given Eli Wetwilly's Charlie Steiner wasn't to be seen. I'm, uh, now squarely in the ESPN NFL network world. And it's really fun.

They got some games, right? And it felt no work out. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. They kept a couple and ESPN is a super bowl this year.

And like, I'm doing all kinds of crazy shit, man. I'm running into people of watch my whole life. Joe Buck and everybody and the daytime schedule. It's been awesome. And I really mean this.

This sounds like I'm doing. Everyone has been really nice, Bill. Everyone has been really nice. To which you say what? Just wait.

No. I wouldn't say that. It's good. Good. Everyone's been very nice.

I'm glad. They have the set up. Great. Your earpiece only fell out ten times. But I would show that your piece was boss.

I figured it out like 20 minutes. The set up is good.

How do you beat that? He looks great. All right. Thanks to Craig. Thanks to God.

Thanks Eduardo. Thanks Kyle Brandt. Great to see you.

I will see you next month.

“Because I know we're going to do something for.”

Next month from Helmont. Let's go. I know. There's a couple.

There's a couple of your favorites.

All right. Good to see you, Kyle Brandt. Genquille. Thank you.
