From nudie magazine day to academic decathlon meltdowns, Billy Madison is more than just a silly comedy—it's a cultural touchstone that defined humor for an entire generation.

In this nostalgia-packed episode, we unpack what makes Adam Sandler's 1995 breakthrough film still resonate with audiences nearly three decades later. Our Gen X host Lesli reflects on experiencing the movie in college, while millennials Will and JT share how discovering it as kids in the 90s shaped their sense of humor forever.

We dive deep into the film's most quotable moments—from "O'Doyle rules" to "You blew it" to the infamous "I award you no points" speech—and explore how these lines have seamlessly integrated into our collective vocabulary. The conversation reveals fascinating insights about how differently generations experienced this comedy classic, with scenes that hit differently depending on whether you were 11 or 19 when you first watched.

Beyond the laughs, we examine what made Billy Madison the perfect launchpad for Sandler's unique comedy style, how it showcased future stars like Norm MacDonald and Chris Farley, and why its silly, no-apologies approach to humor feels strangely timeless even when parts haven't aged perfectly.

Whether you're revisiting this film for the hundredth time or curious about why people still reference a movie about a grown man repeating elementary school, this episode offers a hilarious, thoughtful exploration of Billy Madison's enduring legacy. So grab your snack pack, avoid any banana peels on the ground, and join us for this celebration of 90s comedy at its most quotable.

JT:

There is going to be a new. What's it? Happy Gilmore coming out? Just saw the trailer for that.

Lesli:

I think that's lame,

Will:

that's pretty great.

Lesli:

No, it's not.

JT:

I hope they don't ruin it.

Lesli:

That's what I mean they will.

Will:

Oh, I guess I'm carrying the conversation. That's cool.

Lesli:

And then when it sucks they're going to say the price is wrong bitch.

Will:

That's true.

Lesli:

That's the only thing that's gonna save it.

JT:

Something's gonna be wrong they're gonna dig up bob barker's body, and then he's gonna fight the corpse on the go

Will:

too soon, yeah, too soon did he die?

Lesli:

sorry, I don't know right. I was just thinking that bob barker.

JT:

Yeah, bob barker is dead, like a long time now how

Will:

how long is it long?

Lesli:

before or after michael jackson

JT:

I think after I don't know.

Lesli:

Is Bill Barker dead? Price is right.

JT:

Yeah, he died. Oh, he only died. I'm sorry.

JT:

He only died in 23. That's what I'm saying.

Lesli:

Oh okay.

Will:

Look it up Creepy. Yeah, so anyway, billy Madison 1995. 1995, one of the top years for movies, probably one of the top years in the 90. Yeah, so anyway, billy Madison 95, 1995, the you know, one of the top years for movies, probably one of the top years in the 90s.

Lesli:

I feel like it was the start of the the good movies it was up there. Well, I mean we're not counting 80s movies but like the good 90s movies

JT:

was this before, after Wayne's World after.

Lesli:

Oh, good one after,

JT:

because I Because.

JT:

I think Wayne's World ushered in the whole SNL movie thing.

Lesli:

You're absolutely right.

Will:

I'd say that was the big one, yeah, the big hit. I could be wrong. I'm not a movie guy, so there's probably movie guys out there angry with me right now.

JT:

Yeah, Wayne's World was 92.

Will:

We have so many listeners that there's definitely people out there that are angry with me 92,. Yeah, I only know it was before because I wasn't allowed to see it.

Lesli:

I mean.

Will:

I wasn't like. No, I was too young.

Lesli:

Wow, we quoted it on our senior trip. Yeah, yeah.

Will:

Cause you're a lot older.

JT:

She watched it on her first honeymoon.

Will:

Yeah, and that would be the generation gap you know because, for those that don't know, Lesli is 27 years older than I am. No, Lesli is eight years older than I am, so we experienced everything different in the 90s, which is what this podcast is about.

Lesli:

I was so lucky, so lucky.

Will:

We were all lucky because we experienced it.

JT:

We were the kids in Billy Madison and she was Billy Madison.

Will:

Yeah, that's actually a perfect analogy.

Lesli:

I was Veronica Vaughn

Will:

Joe's an analogy guy.

Will:

He's a metaphor guy if you will.

Lesli:

You were Ernie

Will:

Me, I would have been an Ernie. Only Ernie seemed like he was pretty smart.

Lesli:

Ernie was awesome.

Will:

Yeah, ernie was awesome.

JT:

Hey guys, hey guys, hey guys. Who's Ernie inside Freaking jokes over here? I don't know what you're talking about All right.

Will:

So the thing about doing, a podcast about a movie. Is you're supposed to

Will:

watch the movie

Lesli:

Ernie

JT:

Listen, listen, listen. I watched this movie maybe three times.

Lesli:

What? I watched it three times this week.

JT:

No, no, no, I've watched it three times total.

Lesli:

Oh my God, no, wow, no.

JT:

I always preferred Happy Gilmore.

Lesli:

No,

JT:

yeah, yep, I mean.

JT:

Happy Gilmore is a great movie

Lesli:

Why? Because the air conditioning falls on the old lady.

Will:

I mean I usually do lean towards anything with Apollo Creed in it. Rip Carl Weathers. Yeah, I mean watching this movie 95, I mean this was a big one for my sister and I.

Lesli:

She was babysitting you.

Will:

Yeah, I mean essentially, but we watched it and, yeah, quoted the hell out of it Stuff that I didn't understand when.

Will:

I was younger.

Will:

Because 95,. You know, I was a young man.

Lesli:

How old were you?

Will:

I was 11.

Lesli:

11

Will:

. 11, you know, yeah, I mean you were in college.

Lesli:

Yep, I was. I was in college. Yep, I was.

Will:

I was just phasing out

Lesli:

I was doing my college thing.

Will:

I was probably just phasing out action figures at that point.

Lesli:

Actually, if you really want to know, I had the Billy Madison poster on my dorm room wall because I worked at Video Source,

Will:

so we should yeah, I was going to say we'd probably be a bit remiss if we didn't talk about Billy Madison.

Will:

I know Joe didn't see it, but you know for those who have.

Lesli:

So what I want to say is that I swear every one of his characters came from something he did in the movie. I heard Waterboy in there.

Lesli:

I heard Happy Gilmore in there. Yes.

Will:

I mean Happy Gilmore, he just kind of yeah.

Lesli:

Well, it's kind of simultaneous.

Will:

Here's the thing about Adam Sandler you love him or hate him.

Lesli:

Love him I love him, I'll watch anything. I love him.

Will:

Jack and Jill had to grow on me but I love it. You know it's stupid, but

Lesli:

don't think I saw that one.

JT:

I don't think I saw it either.

Will:

You also didn't see. Don't Mess With the Zoan which is like. No, I didn't.

JT:

Fizzy bubble.

Will:

Oh, where's Patches? That is like one of my, that's one of my comfort movies.

Lesli:

This is one of my comfort movies.

Will:

Yeah, yeah, so let's get into it. You know like just touch the hide. You know. So something you know, we all know. It opens with the scene where he's in the swimming pool with the suntan lotion Right.

Lesli:

It's good for me so were you as disappointed as I was? I really thought they were going to come back with the smiley face tan on his belly.

Will:

Oh, because it wasn't like they never showed it.

Lesli:

Yeah, it was a missed opportunity.

Will:

Well, here's the thing about that is he immediately got out of the pool.

Lesli:

Ah, nudie magazine day

Will:

Nudie magazine day. Now here is something that has always bothered me.

Lesli:

Tell me

Will:

, even from the time I was 11 years old, it's something I've noticed.

Lesli:

Wishing you were looking at a nudie magazine.

Will:

Only it's something I've noticed wishing you were looking at a nudie magazine. Only the shemale fiesta, no only the so I actually I did. I did jot down some you know he drives a golf cart to the mailbox I did jot down the magazines that he pulled out. We had shemale fiesta. We had women Over 80.

Will:

Lesli you could audition pretty soon.

Lesli:

I'm trying to find it in my notes.

Will:

And he lands on Drunk Chicks.

Lesli:

Fun fact did you know that one of the Drunk Chicks was the director's assistant?

Will:

I did not know that. No, you do Look at that.

Lesli:

Look at that. So here's what. Always I did not know, that Now you do. Look at that.

Will:

Look at that. So here's what always bothered me about that scene is he got these magazines in the mail, right? Did you ever notice the back of the magazine was just a blank page?

Lesli:

Those were not magazines. No address.

Will:

No, no, nothing, no advertisement. Usually it's like, especially in the 90s, it would have been like an absolute.

Lesli:

It didn't fit in the budget.

Will:

It was just nothing. It was like a kid's book.

JT:

So is that a blooper? Is that like a conduit issue? I think they just didn't care enough.

Will:

They were just like oh, let's just make a prop magazine. And they didn't put anything on the back and it's, you know, it's bugged me. They spent all their be on the cover of that porn magazine, so old, and the music oh my God. We'll talk about the music some more, but how they did the saxophone, the sexy saxophone? Music while he's looking at him and Adam Sandler's face.

Lesli:

See the noises, always the noises, yeah.

Will:

Yeah, I mean fantastic. But yeah, I mean the back covers are clearly not magazines is the thing. But yeah, so that's always bothered me. Yeah, he gets his magazines. He goes oh, that's when he sees the penguin.

Lesli:

Yes.

Will:

Did not understand that as a child.

Lesli:

And I was always mad that he said they're going back to the South Pole, because I just wanted it to be the North Pole, yeah, no.

Will:

I'm going to take you to the zoo. Yeah, treat you real respectable, like. Yes, that was a pretty solid quote.

Lesli:

He's like it's too hot out here for you, penguin.

Will:

And that's when we get to meet Juanita. You know he follows the penguin back, quote unquote penguin Juanita, who is frigging hilarious.

Lesli:

And who died of skin cancer.

Speaker 1:

God rest her soul.

Lesli:

She should have used that suntan lotion. She should have.

Will:

Juanita was great. She was fantastic. Yeah, loved everything about her. She was perfect in the movie.

Lesli:

Juanita, it's a fine piece of ass too, so good, I know.

Will:

That's when we also get to the you know, oh, the famous. Our next scene in the dining room, where we get to meet Eric and Carl.

Lesli:

I thought you were going to say Snack Pack, no.

Will:

I mean we're jumping ahead.

Lesli:

Oh, I'm sorry.

Will:

Yeah, the Snack Pack was huge. I always, because of this movie, I always thought I liked Snack Pack more than. I did because of it was a thing you know, is that different than Jell-O brand pudding? Oh, yeah, yeah, pedophile pudding yeah, I have Jell-O pudding I know I'm a vanilla pudding guy, you know what I'm saying what?

JT:

So, yeah, Sn snack pack doesn't need to be refrigerated really yeah you find it like down, like the regular aisle you're actually right, yeah you find it in the.

Will:

That freaks me out.

JT:

That's what I'm saying, and the milk in the cardboard and it's not refrigerated.

Will:

Yeah, my little guy drinks, you know like nobody's business and it freaks me out. You know not enough to not let him drink it.

Lesli:

He's doing all right, you just wait and see what happens, he's cool.

Will:

So yeah, you know. The next scene that's really huge sticks out to me is Eric and. Carl in the dining room and talking about the delicious Triscuit crackers.

Lesli:

Oh my gosh. And you know, I wish I had some Carl yeah.

Will:

Not offering them to Eric, which, you know, kind of goes to show that Eric is a bit of a shithead, cause Carl's a good guy.

Lesli:

Carl's.

Will:

Yeah, he's looking out for Billy Yep Um, you know.

JT:

I can't, I can't not look at uh, Larry Hankin and not I agree, no, he plays him.

Will:

Was it the raisins that he took from the interview?

JT:

He plays him. Remember, he goes into NBC and he's like levels.

Will:

There was a box of raisins sitting on the table. Did he take them? Oh, he stole them, right, he stole them. And then George confronts him. It's like, oh, good stuff, levels.

Lesli:

See, I have written my notes. When he met them, they were sitting around at a meeting, right.

Will:

Who met.

Lesli:

When Billy met Carl and Eric Not met them, but like when they came into the scene.

Will:

Yeah, so they were waiting for Billy to come down to dinner.

Lesli:

Yes.

Will:

For some reason which I still to this day don't understand, that they had to wait for Billy. They had to wait for the owner's son to come join them for dinner.

Lesli:

Because his dad loved him All right, that's why, but my point is is he lifted his shirt in the meeting to show Frank something we're jumping around? No it's the meeting.

Will:

Well, the meeting is.

Lesli:

Not the meeting. I'm sorry the dinner.

Will:

No so the dinner, no so the dinner. Mother, I know this is hard for me to say to you, uh-uh.

JT:

Wait, billy's dad was the dad from Christmas Story right, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Lesli:

Okay, I give up.

Will:

Thank you for that interjection, Joe.

JT:

That's all I'm going to do. Is these weird? Yeah, no, just useless, pointless shit.

Will:

I've these weird like side pointless shit. No, I got a whole list of people. Yeah, it's supposed to be.

JT:

If I didn't watch the movie, I'd be saying obvious shit too. Yeah, yeah, just uh, I'd be googling it. Yeah, doesn't, billy madison, start with a beat.

Will:

Yeah, remember that scene where he wore a hat.

Lesli:

That was cool remember the time he sang that funny song.

Will:

That one was the best um, so the way I remember it, and because I remember it, because it's how it happened, was they go to they do the dinner. Eric tricks Billy into getting upset. Billy speaks to the gibberish.

Lesli:

Yes, yes, I thought that yes.

Will:

Billy's dad tells him get the hell out of here. Yes, which then the enuhuhuhuh, sabadoo, the gibberish, so he kicks him out. Oh, I, he kicks him out, so they waited all that time just to kick Billy out. You know, not cool. Tally-hoo-hoo so yeah, then we're at the burger joint. That's where we're at with.

Lesli:

JT. When I do like Tally-hoo-hoo, it's from the movie yeah what movie?

Will:

Billy Madison 2. Billy.

Speaker 1:

Madison.

Lesli:

Sorry, telly-hoo-hoo.

Will:

So I just love. You know we're at the burger joint, they're doing their thing. They throw the pickles at the wall. The pickle. The race, the whole thing Go, go, go, go go. I mean, you guys may or may not know this about me, but Norm MacDonald is like my spirit animal. I love that man. Actually I think I cried a little the day he died he died. I hate you so much Too soon, Leslie.

Lesli:

Dead serious.

Will:

You didn't know he died.

Lesli:

I don't think I did Stop 22? When.

Will:

Stop Norm MacDonald, like I did Stop 22?.

Lesli:

When Stop?

Will:

Wow Cancer.

JT:

He died at 21. Was it 21? Yeah, he battled silently too. He kept it quiet because he wanted to keep the comedy going.

Lesli:

Yeah, it was successful in my eyes. And clearly meant a lot His comedy is still alive and clearly meant a lot, because this comedy is still alive Love Norm Macdonald.

Will:

Nobody does it like him, but.

Speaker 1:

Anywho.

Will:

The, the. Who would you rather bone?

Lesli:

Oh yes, jack Nicholson, or Meg Ryan, jack Nicholson now 1974.

Will:

And what kills me, and always has, is Billy thinks about it, right, which is fantastic. But then he answers Meg Ryan. But Norm MacDonald's face, how he's like perplexed by that answer, he's like thinking about it.

Lesli:

Is that what I would have chosen?

Will:

Oh, it's so good, only he could do that. It's just amazing. So that's when they get back to the house, that's when they have the conversation, that Billy picks up the shirt. He's like I buy you your toys, your shirt, your clothes. He's like actually, I stole the shirt from a friend. Are we jumping to that?

Lesli:

Because I think you left out a great part. Which part? Don't put it out with your boots, Ted.

Will:

Oh yeah, that was in there. He called the shit poop.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, that was in there, yeah.

Will:

He called the shit poop. So yeah, the scene with the old man Ted. Is it Ted or Jed Ted?

Speaker 1:

Don't put it out with your boots, ted, yeah.

Will:

Okay, and he says Judas Priest, right, yes, judas Priest, call the fire department. Yes, this one's out the fire department.

Lesli:

Yes, this one's out of control.

Will:

It's one of those damn bags. Again it's poop again. That's why I'm touching that. So my thing with that character, with the old man, is I 100% thought he was going to show back up in the movie Because you know it leaves you with the I'll get you kids, you're all going to die. And it's like, oh, he's coming back into play somehow like something stupid he never does, which almost makes it better to me. Yeah, it was just like such a throwaway scene, but it was hilarious.

Lesli:

I'm glad they left it, because I say he called the shit poop.

Will:

Oh my God, so often Like it's your job. Yep, that's when, okay, so that's after that. You're right, that's when we go back to the dad's office and a a big line in my, my house, growing up and still to this day, is when he says Eric's pregnant he said he's gonna be a soccer player.

Will:

Oh, that's a huge one, um, and that's where we get our epic line. That scene is where we get the epic eric line, which I I apologize if your name is eric and I've met you in my lifetime, because that's how. I, you certainly did that Every time, every time, yeah, so I mean, that scene was good. I mean, I'm giving the company to Eric, not you. And then that's where Billy comes up with his plan, right?

Lesli:

Yes, that's when my notes are all out of order. I mean, go with your heart. I know I'm trying. Don't go with your notes.

Will:

Don't go with your notes, just go with your heart.

JT:

You know you at least watched the movie, do you guys see some parallels between this movie and Tommy Boy, because I see big parallels.

Lesli:

Yes.

JT:

I see it almost like the same movie and that's probably why I wanted to do that.

Will:

Well, he's got to prove himself to get the job, and he's wacky.

Lesli:

But both of them, the dads, just love him. Yeah, yeah.

JT:

Yeah, it's the same. They're both rich businessmen or whatever, and the do-nothing son's got to prove themselves to get the company. And there's somebody already in the company who gets in the way, and it's just the same yeah.

Will:

Tommy Boy was rough. That was a tearjerker. I loved Tommy Boy.

JT:

Tommy Boy is all time I'd say top five for me Comedies or movies, movies.

Lesli:

Wow, same. That's why I wanted to do that one next.

Will:

I love that one. Sure, we can do some Tommy Boy. Yeah, you can some Tommy Boy.

JT:

Huh.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you can. I think they were filming at the same time actually.

Will:

Were they.

JT:

Yeah, I think Tommy Boy and Billy Madison were filming at the same time and then Chris Farley, the bus driver he took a break from.

Speaker 1:

Tommy.

JT:

Boy, and I think they were all hanging out backstage, backstage.

Lesli:

But on the set, like Spade and Farley and sandler like they were all in there. What at the set? Yes, with them. Yeah, you were too old.

Will:

They were like we don't offer seniors. They were like you could play the uh sloppy joe if you want.

Lesli:

At least that may be Miss Lippy.

Will:

Her car is green. Yeah, I mean. I like the whole. You know he comes up with the whole plan two weeks, each class, each grade, blah, blah, blah. Pretty funny. This is when I was. It was a long scene. It was a long scene, but this is where I was first exposed to the song by Culture Club. Oh yes, I'll tumble for you, yeah. I'll tumble for you and I don't care where I am grocery store, funeral home, whatever You'll tumble.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to do the little dance.

Lesli:

Yeah.

Will:

You got to do it.

Lesli:

Up and down the stairs.

Will:

Yeah, you know, we get to the old, that's so we're starting school. We get to the. Where's my snack pack?

Lesli:

Yeah, I don't, I got excited. No, I get it.

Will:

Snack pack will do that to you. I get it. Yeah, where's my snack pack? And then we get to the bus stop where he's standing out there and sings his little back-to-school song which is still used to this day.

Lesli:

Every year with his lunchbox.

Will:

Yeah, that's what brings us to school. We're meeting Verona Kavon. Fantastic, she immediately disproves of Billy.

Lesli:

Which is excellent.

Will:

Yeah, just don't you think it's ridiculous because of who your dad is blah, blah, blah. Fantastic, Miss Lippy, let's talk about.

Lesli:

Miss Lippy. Oh my God, miss Lippy. She was both endearing and creeped the shit out of me.

JT:

Creepy all. The way for me, not endearing at all, not at all.

Lesli:

Creepy all the way for me Not endearing at all, not at all. Creepy. I don't know if it was the eyebrows or the blunt bangs or the weird dance she did.

Will:

Those were blunt bangs. Another thing that was weird to me she was doing that weird dance, that tantric.

Lesli:

whatever you thought, See, that's what I'm saying.

Will:

She was chewing gum and it didn't go together.

Lesli:

I said the same thing. I'm like what was she eating?

Will:

I think she was chewing gum. That was really weird to me that she was chewing gum. It didn't fit Right. Yes, it didn't fit at all. I don't know.

Lesli:

And it was weird. She was like ooh yeah, but what I will say?

Will:

She was doing some made-up hippie dance.

Lesli:

That classroom looked like a legit classroom. Yeah, yeah, probably was All the way down. I'm saying they did a good job, man.

Will:

they really did their research, you know At least someone does Fucking finger paintings?

JT:

up. She wasn't the first person that they wanted to roll. They wanted a tall teacher. Tall blonde teacher and then she came on set. She came on set to the audition. Adam Sandler was like she's not what we were looking for.

Lesli:

But signed her on the spot.

Will:

Really yeah.

Lesli:

I love how she says puppy, puppy, puppy that little puppy paws that lost its way. You go out there and you find that damn dog.

Will:

You find that fucking dog. So good I remember the first time I saw that, I mean I was in tears.

Lesli:

Oh hilarious.

Will:

That just cracked me up.

Lesli:

Probably had something to do with being able to hear somebody say fuck in a movie and you were allowed to laugh, and you were allowed to laugh, and I was allowed to laugh. But it was just so funny, what I loved was how all the kids fell asleep and he's sitting there like mouth hung open like waiting for the end of it.

Will:

And what's so funny about that scene to me is like he's super into it, but then during his little dissertation, yeah, miss lippy is like really she's feeling it like she's agreeing with him, like okay, she was like, you got this yeah yeah, oh, so good. Um, that's when we get the. You get out there and find that fucking dog line, yeah that's a good one. And then we um, you know, that brings us to dodgeball.

Lesli:

Yes, that's our first odoyle rules all I have written down is kid with mullet kid with mullet. Yeah, I think I had something about the kid with mullet too because, like you, could re-watch that scene and watch every kid on its own, on his own that's true.

Will:

Yeah, getting pelted, yeah, which apparently was apparently was like they say, it was real. It was real. The parents were pretty pissed.

Lesli:

And they had to cut. Yeah, they cut, cut when the kids were crying, right.

Will:

Yeah, yeah, hilarious, he deserved it First time. I think that was the first time I've ever heard Beat the Brat by the Ramones. I mean it just fits so perfectly. The music I don't know, I think all the music, even the score and everything just fits so perfectly in this movie, you know, like the uplifting music they do in between the scenes.

Lesli:

Totally. He always has the best he does, he does. Did you know that it was Polyfector High School and you can get a Polyfector High School dodgeball team T-shirt? I'm getting this one.

Will:

Was it elementary school?

Lesli:

Yeah, oh, polyfector.

Will:

Who was an English clockmaker? Because it was Nip High High School, right.

Lesli:

Yeah, no, not high school. Yeah, polyfector Elementary School, Not to like, correct you. I just I mean sorry, I'm used to it.

Will:

I just. We have a lot of fans and I don't want all those emails.

Lesli:

Well, they know which. One's usually right, that's true.

Will:

And that's where the emails come from. Something else I did notice real quick in the dodgeball scene and I might have mentioned this to you before was how it's a bunch of kids on the playground and there was zero adults in the scene.

JT:

Zero.

Will:

Yes, there's nobody. No teacher's aid, nope, nothing, just.

JT:

You can see how much times have changed. Oh my god, forget it.

Will:

Just mayhem, just yeah, go pelt this shit out of each other with a ball On the concrete ground.

Lesli:

Just blow on it if you fall.

Will:

And see what happens. So yeah, that was pretty, pretty funny to me. Another, so yeah, that was pretty pretty, uh, pretty funny to me. Um, another, another big line, Uh, so the Donkey Kong, donkey Kong scene where he's like I think, uh, what is Scotty's like? Donkey Kong or no, uh, mortal Kombat's the greatest game. Or what'd you say? Mortal Kombat for Sega Genesis is the greatest game ever made. I love how Billy it's like his first intelligent debate.

Speaker 1:

He's like I disagree. He's like I disagree.

Will:

I think Donkey Kong is the greatest game. You suck the arts and crafts scene in the first grade where they're all what are they doing? A duck or something where he starts eating the glue?

Lesli:

like here's a generation gap. Please tell me you used that type of glue.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah.

Will:

We did In the jar. Oh yeah, I could smell it. Yeah, it was minty. It was that minty like and like just. You'd have, like the congealed parts around the top, yes. And then like the paste, but like did you have?

Lesli:

yes, it wasn't like, it was like mixed.

JT:

I remember the smell. The one girl looks like that.

Speaker 1:

You had to use the popsicle stick to spread it. I hated that, yep.

Will:

Yeah, so Arts and Crafts. That was hilarious. I think that's with the number one song, right, Number one, number one.

Speaker 1:

Yes, yes, it is.

Will:

That, Um. Something else that was very funny to me was, uh, when he goes to the bathroom and he's trying to use the tiny urinal, which is something I've struggled- with in life as a taller gentleman.

Lesli:

Going to kids' bathrooms.

Will:

No, I wouldn't go that far, but you know um well. As you know, and back in the day when I substitute taught you know there was there were times where it was your only option.

Lesli:

Remind me to tell you the story about how I had to lift an old lady off one of those toilets.

Will:

I've heard it before.

JT:

All right, Well, JT you'll have your chance one day If you go to like an old, old public school and like the toilets are so low, like it's basically a hole in the ground, and then the urinals are like seven feet tall. They go from like your eye level to the floor. Yeah, it's not like the ones today, where it's like right in the zone.

Will:

This is like. So a little side session. I found out a few years ago, as a six foot three male, that if you use the children's urinal, um well, you don't use it with the child, isn't that, joe? Um, that's where I think the the disconnect has come into play for the time he did it.

Lesli:

Um, yeah, yeah, you know, I told him no, um, you know, for splash purposes.

Will:

The, the lower urinals seem to be a little better for splash purposes. Um, yeah, A problem, here's a here's a tip.

JT:

The lower urinals seem to be a little better for splash purposes. Oh yeah, a problem. Here's a tip Never wear sandals at the urinal, that's true.

Will:

Ever. That's a good tip, all right. Anyway, how about the? You want some of this milk? No, milk will ever be our milk.

Lesli:

No milk will ever be Well. I'm waiting for you to get a dismissal when Miss Lippy brings out his.

Will:

We'll get. Yeah, that's soon, are we?

JT:

there yet. Pop quiz, pop quiz, pop quiz. What word did Billy spell incorrectly? Rizzuto.

Lesli:

Rizzuto. Yeah, but that was a different time. That's when she wanted him to write Christian oh for second grade.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Lesli:

Couch Couch.

Will:

No couch.

Lesli:

She spelled it wrong.

Will:

Yeah, but then he spelled it. Are you going to the mall later? Are you going?

Speaker 1:

to the mall today.

Will:

No, I'm not going to the mall later. Can we just real quick, because I was just thinking about him offering Veronica Vaughn the milk, right?

Speaker 1:

Yes him offering.

Will:

Veronica Vaughn the milk right. Yes, how about you know? No milk will ever be our milk, blah, blah blah, I might have said that already. Hey, you want some of this milk? How they and I'm going to say this word wrong but sensuate, here we go.

Lesli:

Accentuate Make it sensual Her voice.

Will:

Oh, yes, yes, they excuse me, I feel like they ASMR the shit out of her voice Like just a condenser mic and just sweetheart make sure, everything no milk will ever be.

Lesli:

Yeah, her hair. She had the best 90s hair Because the 80s was like bigger. Yeah, and then 96, it was calming down.

Will:

Everybody was about the Rachel, I was about the Miss Vaughn honestly, miss Vaughn.

Lesli:

Oh yeah, I thought you meant Miss V. You know what that's weird.

JT:

They argue over Mortal Kombat, and she played Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat, did she?

Speaker 1:

Oh, there was, her, wasn't?

Will:

there and I will say, as far as I think, we might have talked about this, but her skin is the most flawless skin I've ever seen in my life.

Lesli:

They did the same thing to her skin as the voice.

Will:

Her skin was, she was at the Noxzema commercial. She was at. Yeah, noxzema, we should do an episode on.

Lesli:

Noxzema I just ran out yesterday, did you?

Speaker 1:

They still sell.

JT:

Noxzema? Yeah, they do. That was like after the beach and you get sunburn like third degree burns.

Lesli:

You put that on and it feels amazing. That was one way of using it Really. I smell it. Do you smell it right now?

Will:

That was one of my many attempts of getting rid of acne when I was younger.

JT:

Noxzema.

Will:

Seabreeze.

Lesli:

I use Seabreeze to this day.

Will:

Seabreeze. I use Biore, I use.

Lesli:

Biore, those are strips.

Will:

Oh no, you don't. No, I use a cleanser, biore. It's a nice cleanser. It's hard to find. You know what? You know? Big ups. There's no way he's going to hear this ever. But big ups to Adam Sandler. He's the first person that ever made me comfortable with like acne. Huh, he was on a red carpet for something and he pointed out he had a Xanax face and he like, pointed it out to the camera.

Will:

That's what you have to do, and he made it like such a joke that I was like, honestly, like I was a teenager like peeing your pants. I was just gonna say like being your face yeah, that was my peeing my pants moment.

Lesli:

You were the Ernie of acne.

Will:

There you go, oh man.

Lesli:

So Adam Sandler?

JT:

if you ever hear this.

Will:

Thank you because you gave me a little bit of confidence as a younger man.

JT:

I mean not for nothing. He makes being yourself cool Like just be yourself. Well, you know, in high schools.

Lesli:

Now they have dresses Adam Sandler day, like on Spirit Weeks.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's awesome, Isn't it? You just wear anything.

JT:

That is awesome. A lot of basketball shorts, Anything yeah. He's on like the Oscars and he goes in like sweatpants.

Lesli:

Totally, he's a. He doesn't have to.

Will:

So the first party, the first graduation party. I know we're bouncing around a lot here.

Lesli:

It's all right.

Will:

But the first grade graduation party. There's a few things that were fantastic. I like the Rolex and the pinata, yes, and you see that Scotty's like a good kid, he runs over and thanks him for it. Oh, he stuck out to me Like way to go, scotty. Wait, isn that Scotty's like a good kid, he runs over and thanks him for it.

Lesli:

Oh, he stuck out to me like way to go. Scotty, wait, isn't Scotty the mullet kid?

Will:

Scotty's, the one that likes beans with the hot mom.

Lesli:

Yes.

Will:

That's Billy.

Lesli:

It's the one that looks like Peg Bundy to me.

Will:

The 90s hot mom Let me put a little asterisk. Yeah, like it's an asterisk, it's a 90s hot mom because like when you're younger and you're like, oh man, she's hot. And then you look at her now and it's like yeah, you look at her now and you're like, oh, she smells like cigarettes, yeah, and coffee. There's nothing wrong with that, but you know, it's just.

JT:

I really don't appreciate how you're objectifying women.

Will:

No, this is 11-year-old Will. Objectifying women.

JT:

I don't appreciate that. Let's go back in time.

Will:

It's different. I'll talk to him. So we had the Rolex and the pinata. We get to see Eric being a douchebag again with the kid with the three-legged race.

Lesli:

Oh my God, that was the best. He's like dragging him.

Will:

Oh, he's like dragging him oh, he's such a garbage human being. I love him.

Lesli:

I loved and I think it was the first party where Eric was choking and Carl like slaps him on the back because Carl's just Carl. Yeah, carl's awesome, like that. Carl's the best, carl's gonna save you if you're choking, yeah that's right.

Will:

You know he's not gonna offer you a Triscuit no, he you a triscuit. He'll save your life, and that's when we get to see the clown fall, which was amazing.

Lesli:

Oh my God, I'm going to start singing.

Will:

The first time I saw that again almost peed myself when the blood just like they're all laughing.

Lesli:

And they're all laughing.

Will:

And what's always stuck with me, even since I was a kid, is Miss Slippy Like she's wearing like her weekend outfit. She's got like her little halter top on. Like you see that the teacher's letting loose and like and they're all laughing at just the blood fall. It's mad.

Lesli:

So good, it was just a hemorrhage in my head. That's what I think about um um again.

Will:

Another person I thought would play a lot more of a role in the movie was the janitor Sideburns. Sideburns was fantastic we see him at Eric's office where he's clearly giving him info. Insider info the party.

Lesli:

You know what always bugged me? They were always swimming in the fountain. They were millionaires. Where's?

Will:

the pool. I feel like it was a pool with the fountain.

Lesli:

Man I don't know.

JT:

It looked like a fountain.

Will:

Right, yeah, Something that's always stuck with me is the janitor is talking to Eric. He's like you know what do you got for me? And he says Billy likes to drink soda, Because I always felt like it should be. Billy likes to drink milk Because he offered him milk. Oh yeah, Like it just. And Billy likes to drink soda is hilarious, Don't get me wrong, missed opportunity.

Lesli:

I think it's hilarious.

Will:

But it just. Even when I was younger I was like, wait, it would have made more sense for milk offered Veronica Vaughn milk.

Lesli:

Nope, well, well.

Will:

Well, Any who's second grade? We don't really see much of second grade, that's just the spelling bee right, that was the old lady, right, the old lady yeah. And it's just the spelling bee right. That's all we see for second grade. I think so. Yeah, they kind of breeze over that. The second grade party opens with the little kid sitting on the sprinkler and just screaming.

Lesli:

He was being sprayed by the hose, wasn't he? No, no, that's later. That's with the other guy.

Will:

The kid just runs and sits on a sprinkler and it's spraying up his head. He just lets out this screech, that's it.

Lesli:

That's the scene. It takes care of the itch. Then we're in third grade with Veronica and Valon, I love how the parties get a little bit more mature every time they do so in third grade.

Will:

We get to meet the kids there. You know we got the Veronica walks in. It's a jackpot which.

JT:

I use probably on a weekly basis.

Will:

Just in general, with anything Doesn't matter. Something about that scene that's always just made me laugh is Ernie's so fucking loud. When he's like we like whisper something to him, he's like what's he say? Like keep it down, dude, you're going to get us in trouble. Like so loud, like he's such a fucking narc, like come on dude, you're going to get us in trouble, it's so loud, don't the teachers watching? Yeah, it's so loud Drives me nuts. Yeah, but Ernie's good people. But yeah, I mean you look at the kid you know what you're getting.

Will:

You knew right away that's when he doesn't want to go back to school. Oh, no, no no, that's when Billy's talking to the maid in the kitchen. He's like, you know, my teacher's giving me a real hard time. So she's like, if you want, I can take my shirt off.

Lesli:

Yes, and he goes, oh gross.

Will:

I'll go to school. Okay, so like after the offer to take her shirt off. That's when they're doing the. And again, her voice, her voice, mr. What did she say? Billy Madison, would you like to come up to try some cursive, like it's just so, like they focus on it so much. You're like that's hot. Oh, my God, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Oh man.

Will:

You know he can't do the Zs obviously.

Lesli:

Oh, and that's the.

Will:

Rizzuto is not a word, it's a player. And I hate all of you. I'm never coming back to school, never. So that's what cracks me up is in. The next scene is when the, the, the, the maid comes in and Billy hops in the bed, and when the maid walks in like you can clearly see the covers just like still settling like very much, so it's not like still settling Like very much, so it's not even like a question.

Will:

Yeah, and another fantastic line from the Maid If you're going to stay home, you can help me shave my armpits.

Lesli:

Yes, yes, oh God, I'll go to school.

Will:

I'll go to school. So, Joe, now we're at Valentine's Day with Principal Anderson.

JT:

That creeped me out, that guy is fantastic, but every time.

Lesli:

Every time I watch it, when he opens up the big one, I always think it's going to be Miss Lippy. I always forget it's Principal Anderson. You know what's funny I?

Will:

think the first time I saw it, I thought the same thing.

Lesli:

Right, like it was going to be Miss Lippy.

Will:

I saw Principal Anderson at a. Popo in Manhattan At a what A who POPO, the restaurant in Manhattan.

Speaker 1:

I don't know what that is.

Will:

I think it's Peruvian right. There's a bunch of them all in the city. There's a couple in Queens, but my wife and I used to go to the one in Manhattan. We went for lunch one day and it was just us and these two other guys and one of the guys was principal anderson and did he have his mask on. He didn't have his wrestling mask on, unfortunately did he look at you and wave creepily? He gave me.

Lesli:

Yeah, definitely did he shoot water through his teeth?

Will:

no, and like I, I was like, you know, I was excited to see him, but I also don't really know how to speak to people. You know, my big thing not that I run into a lot of celebrities, but it's usually if I do, it's at a restaurant.

Lesli:

And you're not going to go up there.

JT:

Yeah, they're eating. You know You're fancy dude. I never run into celebrities at the restaurants I go to.

Lesli:

He suits on their lap when he sees them.

JT:

You don't run into a lot of celebrities ordering off the dollar menu at McDonald's.

Will:

That's true or during senior hour but yeah, I saw I was excited. I gave him a little like little wave to like acknowledge I knew who he was and he gave me like the wave back. He seemed very approachable. I just like I don't know.

Speaker 1:

I didn't know what I would say to him what's that guy's deal?

Will:

Yeah?

JT:

You should have sent him over a Valentine and then waved it.

Lesli:

Oh my God, that would have been hilarious, oh damn it. With like some sweat beating. Yeah, meat sweats.

Will:

Another, another big line for me growing up, and my sister was to this day, really was to this day.

Lesli:

Really a lot of these to this day.

Will:

Yeah Well, that's the thing about this. This is a timeless movie and, honestly, if you think about it, Billy Madison really is timeless. There's really nothing, there's no situation he's in that a cell phone would have gotten him out of.

Speaker 1:

You watch Seinfeld and you're like oh, that could have been avoided by a text message.

Will:

Yeah, like Billy Madison, I think would have rolled exactly the same, more or less. It's timeless, it's timeless, but the phone call.

JT:

I don't know about letting a 27-year-old in a class with little kids now.

Will:

Okay, I'll give you that, but you know what I'm saying it's just like the Shut up Joe, but the phone call to Ms Vaughn with Ernie.

Lesli:

Oh my gosh, that was the best. Do you like anybody in class? And I love he does the little like he's fixing his glasses. Yeah, he's such a little kid he is.

Will:

I know when the phone's dialing and he cleans his teeth out. It's so organic, he's such an organic character. I love him and Billy's walking around like say this, say that he does the tries to listen and Ernie pushes him away. I love it. The you blew it is something that will be forever Always. Put it on my fucking tombstone. I love it, but the you blew it is something that you blew it that will be forever Always.

Lesli:

Put it on my fucking tombstone. Yes, yes, yes.

Will:

It's just going to be with me forever. I love that line. So yeah, hilarious the field trip scene. What do we think about the?

Lesli:

field trip scene.

Will:

This is when we first see Chris Farley.

Lesli:

The end.

Will:

Which-.

Lesli:

So apparently he had like eight shots of espresso.

Will:

And he was holding his breath. I guess before the scene he holds his breath.

Lesli:

Yes, oh my God, but I guess that's something he would do all the time to make his face red. He would hold his breath, but then he would like faint.

Will:

That man had too much passion for this world. I'll tell you that. Like he just. Oh my God, chris.

Lesli:

Farley, I was reading that he would hang out. You know they all hang out because I still think I should have been there. But they would play this game where they would turn off the lights and turn on the lights and someone was like doing something weird.

Will:

And he was always naked. Well, the one was naked.

Lesli:

He had an Avion bottle up his ass.

Will:

Yeah, Chris Farley is freaking hilarious. I use that gif all the time of him just angry driving.

Lesli:

Fine Great.

Will:

Grand Terrific Damn bus driver drives like a maniac. He's like huh, Another grand banana for the road.

Lesli:

I love that the banana comes back in.

Will:

Oh yeah, yeah, that's the best you know, we don't have any of these other characters like the poop on the porch guy comes in with a fucking banana peel.

Lesli:

Exactly, he won't come back with that damn banana peel A couple times. A couple times, it's there.

Will:

It's doing it. Yeah, the tick grab. Yeah oh yeah, yeah, that's a salt brother and that's. It's also weird to me at that point that Veronica is a little okay with it because she still there was nothing saying that, like she was okay with him at that point.

Speaker 1:

She, you know she still hated him to a degree, you know.

Will:

there was nothing that showed throughout the movie that she was starting to turn to like Billy, but apparently him sexually assaulting is what did it? That was the go-to.

Lesli:

I mean that'll get me every time.

Will:

Fucking 90s man.

JT:

When he wets his pants, she comes around and you see a little smirk.

Will:

They're on the way to wet the pants. They haven't gotten there yet.

Lesli:

The boob touch was on the way home, wasn't it? No, it was on the way there.

Will:

We don't see the trip home other than getting on the bus. Oh right, Then it goes to.

Lesli:

Buscemi, he says me and her got it. No, you didn't, no you didn't.

Will:

Another fantastic quote yeah. So the angry bus driver, chris Farley amazing, could have been done by nobody else. He's just incredible. The boob grab fantastic. And then we get to the most boring field trip that I've ever experienced and I wasn't even on it. And then we get to the most boring field trip that I've ever experienced and I wasn't even on it. Yeah, it was like colonial fucking whatever, I don't know.

Lesli:

What's great was I pulled up a clip of it the other day for my mother-in-law because she was in the hospital and you know it's hard to pee in the hospital and I was like, just pee your pants, just pee your pants, it's fine. The hospital. And I was like, just pee your pants, just pee your pants, it's fine. Yeah, and then I was like, if peeing your pants is cool, just call me Miles Davis. And she looked at me like what the hell are you talking about? So I had to show her the scene.

Will:

It was great and any reaction, or just no yeah, no, yeah, you're not gonna.

Lesli:

Definitely didn't find the yeah humor. No, I get it, I get it, I get it but you know what, when Billy said that's the grossest thing I've ever heard in my life, I was like that's not gross, though, if peeing your pants is cool.

Will:

As adults, it's not as a kid watching the movie. It's pretty, you know you get it. You connect with it more he's immature. Billy is immature. Let's call you, get it. You know you connect with it more. You know he's immature.

Speaker 1:

Billy is immature let's call it what it is you know um.

Will:

So the stolen lunches jt your face. Yeah, I think jt's peeing his pants right now.

Speaker 1:

now it's so warm, real, respectable.

Will:

Who would eat 30 bag lunches? Why fucking Norm MacDonald and the other friend are there? I love that they're there and they're just laughing their asses off. So good, that's when we you know.

Lesli:

I love the randoms of them.

Will:

Yes.

Lesli:

One of them. He was all right, let's go. I love the randoms of them. Yes, like one of them he was. Norm MacDonald was wearing the lobster float deflated as a blanket. When they're like passed out by the pool, it was. I was like that's excellent.

Will:

Oh, love it, Love it, love it. Yeah, and it's like what's wrong with Ernie and he goes over, and you know that's when the pee in your pants is cool.

Lesli:

Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1:

That is when Veronica Vaughn got a little twinkle in her eye there.

Will:

Yeah, she got the twinkle. Yep, she's like hey, hey hey, and I'm sure her seeing that mansion probably really.

JT:

What's your favorite Adam Sandler movie now?

Lesli:

that we're kind of back over Billy Madison.

JT:

Really.

Lesli:

Yeah.

JT:

Out of all of them.

Lesli:

Ah man, I forgot about 51st. See, I'm not sure you could. It's because there's different.

Will:

I'm going to say it's kind of like a For me not to interrupt, but it's kind of like a Rocky 1 situation. Rocky 4 is my favorite Rocky, but Rocky's my favorite Rocky because it's the original Rocky.

Speaker 1:

You know what I'm saying.

Will:

Yes, you know, so it's like.

JT:

Rocky 4 is your favorite, rocky, but Rocky 1 is your favorite, rocky yeah.

Will:

I love. If I'm going to watch a Rocky to get amped up, I'm going to watch Rocky 4. But Rocky 1 is my favorite Rocky movie because it's Rocky, it's the original.

Lesli:

It's a different vibe. I cannot believe how many Adam Sandler movies I've seen.

JT:

So what you think? Billy Madison is your favorite Adam Sandler movie because it's his first.

Will:

I think it's the one that I most connect with. I think it's the one that I know the most. It's the one that really introduced me to Adam Sandler and his humor. That's exactly it. It's the one that I have the most jokes like one-liners from the quotes Like literally, I was going through the one-liners. I think once a day I quote that movie To this day. Yeah, easily easily. Happy Gilmore's fantastic. All his movies are great. It's very hard to pick what about the forgotten one Airheads. Airheads is fantastic, I love.

Lesli:

Airheads.

Will:

Wedding.

Lesli:

Singer I love. Wedding Singer is fantastic. 51st Dates I love 51st Dates is good Airheads is, amazing Airheads is incredible.

Will:

Brendan Fraser just rocked it. Steve Buscemi yeah, I mean, that's one I could definitely watch over and over. I definitely saw that before Billy Madison.

Lesli:

Anger Management Hilarious.

Will:

You know, I don't think I've ever watched that all the way through.

JT:

It was alright I thought it was funny.

Lesli:

I like Jack Nicholson, jackal Nicholson.

Will:

Old Jackal.

Lesli:

In 74 and now.

Will:

I'm gonna go 74. What was his Punch? Drunk Love. Did you see that one? The drama one.

Speaker 1:

That was good.

Will:

I liked Philip Seymour Hoffman in that.

JT:

I love Philip Seymour Hoffman. Greatest his role, greatest it's supposed to be.

Lesli:

Greatest, right now it's supposed to be something Hold on His greatest role.

JT:

No no. I mean I'm being a little, I'm exaggerating, because he was a great actor, but the one I remember the most is no, no, no, along, came Polly.

Will:

Oh, so good, so good. Best man is in the house.

Speaker 1:

Here we go. He was in line to be.

Lesli:

Eric Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Will:

He was Hoffman. Yep, oh, that's right, that's right.

Lesli:

And he just didn't want to.

Will:

Yeah.

Lesli:

But then he later regretted it.

JT:

As he should.

Lesli:

Yeah.

JT:

Historically speaking, olonke and Polly invented Shart, or was Shart?

Will:

a third of the movie yes, no.

Lesli:

Shart was from that movie 100%.

Will:

I had never heard it before that.

Lesli:

And it was like how did I not make that up?

JT:

Yeah, exactly, it was the best. I think the first time that I watched that movie and I heard that I like wheezed so much. I was coughing at that scene.

Will:

That whole movie. Oh my God, like it caught me off guard because it was one of those movies that, like there wasn't a lot of chatter about it. I don't remember, like, I don't remember it being big, like, oh, I got to go see this in the movie, like in the theaters. You know, I don't remember hearing a lot about it, but that movie Very rarely does that happen too Very rarely. So remember when we were talking about Billy Madison? That was cool, that's such a good movie.

Will:

So real quick and you know we don't have to go scene by scene, but it seems to be like a good little thing going. But anyway, I'll just bring up some scenes to me that were hilarious. The third grade party, Billy passed the third grade song, Awesome. The guy spraying the kid with the hose. Yes, and the kid is just sitting there and he's just like. I don't even know you, mister, why are you? He's like are you okay? Yeah.

Lesli:

Get up and run.

Will:

kid Just sitting there taking it, Love it Weird. Yeah. Then Veronica Vaughn, you know, comes into the tent. She wants to make out with him.

Lesli:

Oh, that's when she was wearing the suspenders. I wanted that outfit. Even I thought Veronica Vaughn was hot.

Will:

So hot. Want to touch the high knees.

Lesli:

But the suspenders, it was all just so. 90s, her hair, the suspenders, the crisp voice.

JT:

I've known teachers for 20 years for doing that.

Will:

It's true, you're right, I don't remember the suspenders. You don known teachers again 20 years for doing that. Yeah, you're right, I don't remember the suspenders, you don't, I don't.

Speaker 1:

That's when.

Lesli:

Oh wait, she was helping him study.

Will:

That wasn't the party.

Lesli:

You're messing me up here.

Will:

The party is. When she brought the snack pack, did she have like an Asian umbrella?

JT:

Yes, she did and then I was like well, maybe that's why her skin is good, and that's true this conversation has add I don't know where we're going you have to know the movie yeah, I mean joe you're you're

Lesli:

your part is to keep us on track right there with you will right. Right Asian Umbrella.

Will:

Welcome to Asian Umbrella podcast.

Lesli:

When you think of Billy Madison, you think of Asian Umbrella?

Will:

They're not just for your margaritas anymore Hands in hands. Oh boy Okay.

Lesli:

Not just for your margarita.

Will:

See what I did there, paracel. Yeah, so, carl, so good to see you, carl, so good to see you, carl, so good to see you. You know what I?

Lesli:

didn't notice Until this last time I watched it Is when he opens his Like little locker thing.

Will:

In the porn.

Lesli:

Yes, I didn't know, you heard it.

Will:

Oh yeah, that's also. That's a Port-a-john, it's an owl house. I can't remember what it was, but when he opened the door, it made the porn noises. Yeah, it's like making the moaning. I had no idea.

Speaker 1:

Yes, oh, billy. Well, she almost kisses Carl's like. Oh Eric's up to something.

Will:

He made, that little laugh, that weasel laugh. That's when we get the Jackson 5 montage of him going through the grades. Probably the first time I really heard that song, at least in a movie, ABC.

Lesli:

Oh really.

Will:

By Jackson 5.

Lesli:

Oh, your parents didn't play it on the record player, I wasn't 37 at the time when I saw this. Like you, they didn't play it when they were, like, ready to go out.

Will:

You had a babysitter no, was it George Thurgood. No, uh, yeah, we had the montage. We get the sloppy joe lady. Yes, uh, love that. Uh, the next party's when we have the principal in the pool yeah, with the water out, he's on the lobster just yep, living, living life. You know, happy yeah.

Lesli:

Just waddling into the mansion Water dripping, he's got the flippers on.

Will:

And that is his when he shows him the magazine. The reference, yeah, the face, his face.

Lesli:

I have Somewhere in here I have written his faces.

Will:

It's when we find out about the revolting blob. Yes Gets blackmailed. That's the first day of high school where he pulls up in the IROC Z.

Lesli:

Yes, that was the best.

Will:

What's playing then that was Billy Squire. Stroke Me the Stroke. Oh yeah, is it the Stroke? All I remember is the outfits, everybody's outfits, sitting on Billy Squire stroke me the stroke.

Lesli:

Oh yeah, is it the stroke all I remember is the outfit, everybody's outfit, sitting on the hill.

Will:

Oh, so 90s? I could just sit and watch that not Billy's, though he had an REO speed wagon yeah, he did.

Lesli:

He was leaning against the car, which is why I thought he was listening to REO speed.

JT:

I'm hearing like a crazy machine in your background.

Will:

Yeah, don't deflect, don't deflect. That is probably my furnace. I thought that was in here, this podcast brought to you by furnaces.

JT:

Brought to you by keeping warm.

Will:

Yeah, pulls up. Everyone's just disgusted by him pulling up in his Irox-y. He does the whole like jacket he does.

Lesli:

Leans against the car, leans against it, yep. And then signs and that's when she says no, I'm not going to make out with you. Well, that's, I'm not going to make out with you.

Will:

So science, science class, when his friend that's, that's his buddy. I think it's like his college roommate or whatever is the teacher.

Lesli:

Oh, really Um yeah, he's.

Will:

Uh, that's the guy who does. Who was the dog with the cigar in his mouth? That, like, made fun of everybody back in the nineties.

Speaker 1:

Um, the puppet, triumph, triumph, that's, that's.

Will:

I think that's the, the voice of triumph, that's the guy is the teacher from um, the chlorophyll teacher.

Lesli:

You can look it up.

Will:

I mean pretty sure it's chlorophyll, the the teacher who's talking, the science teacher and billy madison who's talking about the chlorophyll. And my my favorite part, I think, of the entire movie as an adult is when the teacher goes and this does not make the ribosomes happy and chuckles and Billy goes. I think it's like if you haven't watched this movie in a while that is the best, yeah, just watch the science.

Will:

He just talks about the right, the ribosomes. Billy's reaction is just like ooh, and that's when he talks to the girl. He goes with the whole chlorophyll.

Lesli:

More like borophyll.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, it is Robert Spiegel. Yeah, it is right, okay, so that's Triumph.

Will:

Yeah, so I just found that out a few years ago and he's like good friends with Adam Sandler. I think they were roommates in college I could be wrong, or roommates at some point, living somewhere. He's in all kinds of shit. He's the mailman in Chuck and Larry. He also wrote the first two Hotel.

JT:

Transylvania with Adam Sandler. There you go.

Will:

Yeah, they're like tight and he was in Zohan. Yes, he was one of the guys that would.

JT:

And Miguel the turtle cartoon, or whatever.

Lesli:

I love that he visits the kids on his break.

Will:

Yeah, goes just to see his friends. He tells them it's great Stay here as long as you can, you cherish it and his face is like yeah, it made me think of Chunk from the Goonies. That's when we get our. What was that?

JT:

the second.

Lesli:

O'Doyle rules or third, too bad we can't do the Goonies yeah we're going to, but that's the 80s.

Will:

We're going to throw 80s in there because yeah we're not doing that, because it wasn't the 90s, oh, okay. You're right, because then we've got to do Ghostbusters. I don't make the rules, but I kind of make the rules. Oh wait, die Hard.

JT:

The first Die Hard was in the 80s, right yeah.

Will:

Damn it. We could do Die Hard with a Vengeance, which was fantastic.

JT:

Yeah.

Will:

Such a good one Probably could be the best one. You know what I'm going to agree with you there, my friend.

JT:

It's at least my favorite, but that goes back to the Rocky IV theory, because that is the same thing.

Will:

I agree, 100%, the only. So, and just getting off on a tangent here, meh and I have a good friend named Jimmy who this has been a point of contention with us since we've met the only movie that I will say that the sequel is better, a better movie than the original is Terminator 2. Judgment Day.

Speaker 1:

That's it.

JT:

Okay, hold on. That's a statement right there. Hold on.

Will:

You know I'm bringing it hard and we can do a T2 episode where we talk more in depth about it.

JT:

Dude, I'll agree that T2's better, but to say that that's the only one, that the sequel's better.

Will:

In my opinion it's. It's the only all right. Where were we?

JT:

I don't even know science class.

Will:

I will not make out with you, o'doyle pudding. We get our fake joseph gordon levitt, one of the nerds. I I, when I was younger, I didn't know if that was joseph gordon lev or not.

Lesli:

Oh gotcha.

Will:

Yeah, billy went back to third grade to see his friends, the hike school. How's hike school Billy?

Lesli:

Yes, how's hike school?

Will:

That's what he calls Steve Buscemi to apologize.

Lesli:

Oh my gosh.

Will:

Danny McGrath was his name, danny.

Lesli:

McGrath, there was something there. It was like I don't know if it was a sloth or like some kind of paper mache animal behind his head.

Will:

Was there.

Lesli:

Yes, now I want to know what it was. By the list. Yeah, yes, by the list.

JT:

I'm not going to look that up.

Lesli:

You're going to have to, hmm. I was like what is that? I love, though, that he puts on lipstick.

Will:

Do my, do me do me what.

JT:

I don't get that. I don't get the lipstick. Is that just to show that he's crazy?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, oh yeah.

Lesli:

What the heck is that it's two bears dancing or something. What is it?

JT:

It looks like two papier-mâché bears dancing.

Lesli:

I'm right that it looks like papier-mâché, though, right.

JT:

Yeah, it looks like two maybe pigs Maybe pigs standing on their hind legs dancing.

Lesli:

Obviously Clearly, I'm sure that's what it's called.

Will:

So real quick, just to interject, I have a feeling A that we're going to have to redo our first podcast. I have a feeling A that we're going to have to redo our first podcast B. What would you say is the most 90s thing about this movie?

Lesli:

It's clearly smack dab in the middle of the decade. It's kind of like the beginning of the loser the loser 30 year old in the basement okay, like are we talking about?

Speaker 1:

like?

JT:

literally in the movie, because I'm gonna say all of his like rich toys.

Will:

When you see it you think 90s yeah okay, like I don't have an answer, I just know that's what you guys saw like I. That's my answer like the.

JT:

It really dates.

Will:

The movie is when you look at like the mansion and see all like the rich stuff, yeah like I would have liked to have seen a super soaker in that situation, or something you know like or skip it skip it um one thing I had in my notes was and slide.

Lesli:

As a kid I hated it because it looked like it was supposed to be so fun, but there's always tree roots underneath Rocks, yes, and like grass on your feet.

JT:

Oh, it's so much fun. I need 70 stitches on my chest.

Lesli:

Exactly, and the water was ice cold Sprinklers are no man Get out of here, there's nothing fun about the slip and slide. That was like a lot of 90s stuff. You were supposed to love it because it was great on the commercial, but it sucked.

Will:

You run you slide, you hit the bump and take a dive.

Lesli:

That was Crocodile Mile. Yeah, you hit the bump. That was the route, that was the train route we had.

Will:

Crocodile Mile was like the slip and slide. We didn't have that. We just got to take the old pool cover off once in the air. You had garbage bags, then it would kill the grass. We'd get yelled at. You guys were lucky.

JT:

I was poor, I had the hose and you had to put your thumb in front of the water and just make like a gun.

Lesli:

But that makes it the best it does. That works better than the Joe was hydrants.

Will:

Get the cup, Joe.

JT:

Oh, it says the list of people to kill when he crosses Billy Madison off. The rest are crew members of the movie.

Will:

I did read that.

Lesli:

The other people that were supposed to play Carl were Edward Herman. You know who that is. That's the guy. It's the dad from Richie Rich.

Will:

The movie oh, great movie we should do that is. That's the, it's the guy, it's that guy. It's the dad from Richie Rich. Yes, the movie, oh great movie.

Lesli:

We should do that one. Yes, harry Shearer.

Speaker 1:

Who.

Lesli:

Harry Shearer, who it's like a tongue twister.

JT:

Is that the guy?

Speaker 1:

from.

Lesli:

Night Court? I don't know.

JT:

No, that's Harry.

Will:

Henderson.

Lesli:

Oh, that's yeah. And Michael Richards, Chevy Chase, Steve Martin and Bill Murray. They were all working on other projects.

Will:

Who were they supposed to play?

Lesli:

They were supposed to play Carl Carl.

Will:

Mm-hmm, carl, carl. I think it would have made it a completely different movie if it was like Bill Murray or Chevy Chase, totally Because it would have been like more focused on them.

Lesli:

Yeah, because you can't have those megastars and be like. No, that's what I Exactly. Brian Madison, the dad, leslie Nielsen, he disliked the film's humor. I dislike Leslie Nielsen's humor, what Well? I mean I kind of loved Airplane though, so I can't say that he's fantastic.

Will:

It's weird that. That's the reason why, though, that he yeah, that's what.

Speaker 1:

I mean Like Leslie.

Will:

Nielsen, you'd think he'd, I don't know.

JT:

The Naked Gun was just like the same kind of humor.

Speaker 1:

I mean it was a little smarter. It was a little smarter, I must say.

Will:

Yeah, it was a little smarter. Little lowbrow for Leslie Nielsen. Richard Dreyfuss he thought he was too young to play Billy's dad. Richard Dreyfuss, old Mr Holland and Jack Nicholson Mr Holland's opus.

Lesli:

Wanted too much money.

Will:

That makes sense, jack Nicholson, now or 1974?

Lesli:

Oh, he was so hot, jack Nicholson now or 1974?. Oh, he was so hot. What is funny is he was originally the dad in the Christmas story Jack Nicholson. Jack Nicholson, and what happened? Yep, I don't know. He got replaced. You know who would have fit in here?

JT:

Your mom.

Lesli:

Hey-o, she would totally Joe Hyphen's got it going on. She would totally Joe Hyphen's got it going on. It's true, eric Bob Odenkirk. I feel like Bob Odenkirk could totally do Adam Sandler.

JT:

Dude, if you look at all the stuff Bob Odenkirk was supposed to be in.

Lesli:

Oh, yeah, oh, apparently they are friends Because Universal didn't want Adam Sandler to just hire all his friends Jeff Daniels, but he was offered Dumb and Dumber for less money and took it.

Will:

I did hear that. I just actually saw that yesterday Some Instagram page they were talking about it. I'm glad he did that Better movie.

Lesli:

That's a fantastic one. Dumb and Dumber yeah, I'm glad he did that better movie. Yeah, that's a fantastic one.

Will:

Dumb and Dumber.

Lesli:

Yeah, yes.

Will:

I think I saw that five times in the theater.

Lesli:

Really yeah.

Will:

So it's safe to say you hated it Terrible.

Lesli:

You thought it was awful.

Will:

Oh my god, I just I was a huge Jim Carrey fan when I was younger, like he. Yeah, I couldn't get enough of him as a kid.

Lesli:

Oh, they wanted John Candy to play Max Principal Anderson, but he passed away in 94. Jason Alexander, I can see that. Glenn Shaddix, you know who that is? That's the guy from Beetlejuice.

Will:

He's one of the people at the dinner party. Yeah, the guy, the weird guy, yeah, plays the garbage, can.

JT:

Candy died in 94?.

Lesli:

Yeah, at 43 years old.

JT:

Wow.

Lesli:

Love that guy.

Will:

John Candy.

Lesli:

Yeah.

Will:

National treasure.

Lesli:

When did Veronica Vaughn come back and like beat when he was all drunk by the pool? When did Veronica Vaughn come back and like be when he was all drunk by the pool? They're like, what are they doing? Oh, they're playing water polo.

Will:

Marco Polo.

Lesli:

Meanwhile her hair was beautiful.

Will:

Oh, gorgeous.

Lesli:

Her makeup was flawless even after she played water polo.

Will:

Oh, she looked amazing.

Lesli:

She was just there. Please God, give me the answer. Dirty dirty tramp, oh, please God.

Will:

Please God, 1986.

Lesli:

Theo Doyle's run off the cliff.

Will:

Theo Doyle's run off the cliff. Fantastic, did not see it coming. Something that cracks me up is how the car is off the cliff yeah and they're still just chanting. O'doyle rules the entire way, down, the whole way down just not a break in their cadence or anything, just O'Doyle rules I don't guess, why do I have written down I married common street trash that was one of the the categories on oh, that's right, oh, that's right at the yeah um needle point.

Lesli:

It was one of them.

Will:

If if either one of you is caught cheating, especially with my wife, who is a dirty dirty whore, that's right.

Speaker 1:

My wife is common street trash.

Will:

That is probably one of my all-time favorite quotes, the. I award you no points.

Lesli:

Yes, and we are all dumber For having listened to what you just said. If Max comes in and saves the day, max saves the day.

Will:

Go on and do it, kind of sweaty.

Lesli:

Yikes, a little hungry, but all in all I'm okay. I'm okay, shut up, shut up. Today Junior. Today Junior Because I've seen it 8,700 times.

JT:

That's not a number. No, it is, but it's not. Yeah, it is, it is, but it's not. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Lesli:

Everybody's like a simple no where this is the first.

JT:

I always wondered how writers, when they're writing, do they realize they got gold.

Lesli:

Right.

Will:

Is it just kind of like you're throwing it at the wall and seeing?

JT:

it with sticks.

Will:

Yeah.

JT:

Even songs, Even musicians. When they come up with it, they're like, oh my god, this is it.

Speaker 1:

This is it, or does it just surprise?

JT:

them that guy he was. I forgot it. This is it, or is it just like? Does it just surprise them? It's like ugh.

Will:

That guy he was. I forgot what his name is. He's not Hurley, he right, no, I think that's somebody. Anyway, that guy used to write for SNL, oh really, and he is freaking. Yeah, jim Downey, that's Jim Downey. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, he is hilarious. He was in Dirty Work and was phenomenal on that. He's got that straight dry humor. That is just phenomenal. What was Billy Madison rated PG-13? Pg-13. I think the only drop of the F-bomb was with Finding that Fucking Dog.

JT:

You think the PG-13 still was with finding that fucking dog. You think the PG-13 still holds today, or is it?

Will:

It's G today. Yeah, I mean it's. I'd say it definitely holds. I don't know what the guidelines are.

JT:

I think you get one F, I think on PG-13 you get one F, and it can't be the sexual F, it has to be like an exclamation.

Lesli:

When he grabbed her boob on the thing he's like wait, sorry tit Tit.

JT:

Just tit so how old were you when you first saw it Will 11?

Will:

I was either 11 or 12.

Lesli:

I was 19.

Will:

Wow, or 12, um, I was 19. Oh, wow, I feel I must have been see it's uh. So I feel like I saw happy gilmore and billy madison around the same time. But I like, I I distinctly remember seeing billy. Billy Madison first, like because it was it came out sooner. But I vividly remember seeing Happy Gilmore in sixth grade when I was in sixth grade.

JT:

So you were 11 with Billy Madison? Yeah, would you let your 11-year-old child watch Billy Madison?

Will:

I'm going to make my 11-year watch Billy Madison, of course, just because you know.

JT:

I'm talking about like a rational parental human being.

Will:

Yeah, Not a super fan 11?

Lesli:

I would.

Will:

No, I mean 11. Yeah, it's uh.

JT:

I don't know. There's a lot of movies now that I go back and watch with my kids and I'm like, oh yes.

Will:

I go back and watch Ghostbusters and I'm like, oh, I go back and watch ghostbusters. I'm like, oh, my, god, I think about that now I was watching ghostbusters at five years old, like that I. I have very vivid memories of yeah, yeah two.

JT:

Well, that went over my head for years you watch goonies now or dude, even home alone. Watch home alone now, yeah, and you're like, oh, some of that stuff. You're like I don't know if it's just because today's culture is very soft, I'll say, yeah, so sheltered. You watch home alone and you're like dude yeah that wouldn't fly like I wouldn't let that happen in my household, the way that, like, the uncle talks to the kids yes, you would see a lot too more more movies and you'd see smoking, you'd see drinking.

JT:

Now you can't advertise at all, you can't put it in movies or actually TV shows.

Lesli:

You can do it in movies, not TV shows, the amount of smoking that you see in movies or on shows. You rarely see it now.

Will:

Look at the difference between Ghostbusters 1 and 2. I think every scene there was a cigarette in somebody's mouth in Ghostbusters 1 and 2. I think every scene there was a cigarette in somebody's mouth in.

Lesli:

Ghostbusters 1 and in Ghostbusters 2.

Will:

You're absolutely right, I think Ray had a cigar at one point at the end when they were in the Statue of Liberty, but other than that I don't remember them smoking at all.

JT:

Yeah, they probably realized oh man, this is going to be a big movie for kids, let's not do that it's kind of like tmnt one and two.

Will:

Like the first one was more violent, the second one, the parents were like, oh, my kid hit somebody with a stick, like don't let it be violent. And yeah, we lost great.

JT:

Well, that was a big thing though yeah, that was, that was a big thing. Uh, back then with the parents watching it and saying, you know, they're emulating the moves and stuff the, the moves, the moves.

Will:

I very much enjoyed the, the, um, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the cat font.

Lesli:

Yes.

Will:

When that guy's balls were weird looking. That's a big one for me. Did you see that guy's balls? Yeah, they were weird looking. They were weird looking the way the kid says it. It's hilarious when Eric sets himself on fire.

Lesli:

And everybody's laughing.

Will:

Yes, Adam Sandler. You know Billy Madden is doing like a belly laugh. It's so funny. You know, leading us up to the trivia game where you know, um, which, uh, I think Leslie mentioned earlier what was one of the.

Lesli:

I married Common Street Trash. I married Common.

Will:

Street Trash, everything just revolves around being miserable. Is that one of the things? Business, business ethics.

Lesli:

Why was that so hard to?

Will:

say but the yeah. I love how he gives like the heartfelt the puppy lost its way.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, society, the American Revolution, was it? The puppy lost its way?

Will:

Yeah, Society, the American Revolution, was it Industrial?

JT:

Revolution Industrial.

Will:

Revolution and Miss Lippy's like, just like rooting him on and everything like that, and then we get the epic speech.

JT:

You know we're all dumber for having listened to what you've just said and something that I've sent to many people in my life, because I do remember the first time I saw that I thought he was going to say that it was a good answer and that he like oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, they had us all prepped for it.

Will:

Like I think that's what makes it like so much better, is that like everybody sees it and you're, and it's just like the driest, like most hilarious response ever to that. But yeah, we do the business. Ethics. Eric pulls the gun.

Lesli:

Billy, when he plays the clarinet, his mouth beats backwards.

Will:

Yeah, he's got the clarinet upside down. Yeah, yeah, he's good. Yeah, that's, he's good. Um, yeah, just uh, the whole thing is great. And then what? What cracks me up? You know, obviously, everyone's seen it. Uh, you know, uh, Steve Buscemi comes in, saves the day.

Speaker 1:

Good for him.

Will:

That's why glad I called that guy, you know, that's why. And he like waves. Yeah, just like the awkward wave just walks out, thumbs up. That's why, you know, just be nice to people, it's a good.

Lesli:

I thought it the first time I saw it. Yeah, never forget it.

Will:

What cracks me up about the end of this movie. You know, just to wrap up the movie, we can still talk about whatever we want, but to wrap up the movie, we can still talk about you know what, whatever we want, but to wrap up the movie, that and this, this has always bothered me, even as a kid. It's just like okay, so he couldn't spell rock at the beginning of the movie. Now it's the end. He's gotten through all his grades and he decides he's just gonna be a teacher. He's's not going to. I don't want the hotel, I'm going to go to college and be a teacher, and what's that say about?

Will:

teachers. That's what I'm saying. Give them some credit. That's what bothered you, it just stuck out to me.

JT:

This is what bothered me. They never heard of a GED. You go to get your GED and now he can get his business.

Lesli:

What bothered me is he was so rich and wear those damn, wear those damn work boots in every scene. That's what bothered me, he liked them the way he walks in them. He's going to break an ankle.

Will:

That's true. Um, you know, I I think that ultimately this movie would never have happened, because I think the father said you're going to be taken care of, you got nothing to worry about, you can sit around and drink your daiquiris. He does the classic dad hand movement.

Speaker 1:

Your.

Will:

Jagoff magazine your.

Speaker 1:

New.

Will:

Year's magazine. I don't think he would have really given a shit, honestly, Like I think Billy just would have been like all right, cool, as long as I'm getting mine.

Speaker 1:

Yep.

Will:

You know, just knowing Billy, as I knew him.

Lesli:

You knew him, you knew that guy you know, I knew him.

Will:

Adam Sandler, though, would not have done that. You know, he's a man of pride and he needs to earn what he gets. And I get it. I get it. Yeah, no, it's a great movie, but just like many other movies.

Lesli:

I mean, it's not like a.

Will:

You're not winning awards for this movie. You'd have to know.

Lesli:

Adam Sandler. If he just popped on the planet, you'd be like this is ridiculous.

Will:

True, but this was kind of how he popped on the planet.

JT:

Oh SNL.

Speaker 1:

That's what I was just going to say I wasn't watching SNL when I was 11.

Will:

Uh-huh.

Lesli:

I.

Will:

Well, because you weren't 11. You were 37. Yeah, so like.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

JT:

You remember Gilderander Shut up.

Will:

Does it hold up? What about it? Does it hold?

JT:

up.

Speaker 1:

I think it holds up.

Will:

I don't think there's anything other than the groping scene.

Lesli:

That really would bother anybody today. Yeah, I think it holds up Right.

Will:

I mean I, you know I watch that. Now it is kind of like, oh, you can't do it Grab someone's boob. Who would you say in that movie is like the most? See, this is probably going to be a straight up just Adam Sandler because of, but who's like the most nineties person in this movie? Like who? Who do you think is like, um, uh, what am I trying to think of? Like who encompasses the nineties the most? Like actor wise, not not their character, but like who in that movie would?

Speaker 1:

you say like really represents the nins the most like actor-wise, not their character, but like who in that movie would you?

Lesli:

say, really represents the 90s the most. The 90s Veronica.

JT:

I don't think Sandler represents the 90s.

Lesli:

You don't.

Will:

No, no Okay.

JT:

So who do you, I think, the movies that he came out? With in the 90s are great but I think he became a megastar in the 2000s.

Lesli:

In my mind it was like when I think 90s a staple is Adam Sandler.

Speaker 1:

I agree.

Lesli:

Absolutely A staple, a hundred percent.

Will:

But like Joe's saying what did he have in the 90s? What was his Overboard or whatever, that one that nobody saw? He had Billy Madison. He had Happy Gilmore.

Lesli:

Big Daddy.

Will:

Big Daddy, that's the one I was thinking of. And then what was after Big Daddy? Was it Mr Deeds? And I don't think that was 90s. I think that fell in 2000.

Lesli:

Yeah. I'm not sure. Maybe it was just because all of his beginning movies were quotable.

Will:

And, like Joe said, I think it just came from him being SNL.

JT:

It's like why we think he's so populated to the 90s, Like looking back on it. Looking back on it, you could see him hit megastardom. You could see at the point.

Will:

But I wouldn't disagree personally that he does personify 90s because of him being on SNL. I'm not just saying as an actor, I'm just saying like, which one of these actors like really, it makes you like, really makes you think of the 90s?

Lesli:

Like if somebody said to me 90s actor, I would think, even though he's still acting today, I would think Adam Sandler.

JT:

I see I wouldn't really.

Will:

Yeah, I wouldn't who, so I wouldn't, really, yeah, I wouldn't. So who do you have from?

Lesli:

From the cast of Billy Madison. Yeah, oh.

JT:

From the cast of Billy Madison, who represents the 90s the best. Yeah, let me pull up the entire cast.

Will:

I would say Eric's a big one, because that was Eric was definitely what year, was Son of a Woman that was early 90s.

Lesli:

Right, we were just talking about that. That was 92, I think Fantastic movie.

Will:

We should do that one. I love that movie. Who's that?

Lesli:

Christopher, not Chris Young.

Will:

Chris O'Donnell.

Lesli:

Yes, he's 90s.

Will:

Oh yeah, yes, Minnie Driver's 90s. Oh yeah, he's completely 90s.

Lesli:

Yes yes, yes, minnie Driver is 90s Right.

JT:

Drew.

Speaker 1:

Barrymore is 90s.

Lesli:

Yep.

JT:

I don't know, Maybe I mean it's.

Will:

I would say and again, I didn't look at names too much, but the guy who Carl, I think he's another represents 90s pretty good, because he was just like in random 90s.

Lesli:

Like you said. Seinfeld, he was in there and he was never like a main character.

JT:

No, no, but he like kind of popped up in everything, yeah, he's like the guy you don't know who he is, but you're like damn, I see him everywhere.

Lesli:

Yes, yeah Like the poltergeist lady Yep, and I feel like the 90s were his time to shine.

Will:

Yeah, I can't think of anything right now. Was he in Home Alone? Was he the cop, the sergeant?

JT:

Yeah, he was eating the donut. The donut, yeah, yeah. So like, yeah, he's just like in all kinds of 90s stuff. So like I think he may be my guy, for like I mean it's either him or Bridget Wilson?

Lesli:

Is that Veronica Vaughn? Is that Veronica Vaughn?

Will:

Okay, I know. So, I only know her from this and Higher Learning.

JT:

And.

Will:

Mortal Kombat. Oh, mortal Kombat, that's right, you did say that. Yeah, that's a good one. Thank you everyone for listening to this episode of Generation Gap in the 90s.
