We bounce from real-life catch-up into movie night, rating the vibe of Happy Gilmore 2 and debating what Rocky II gets right and wrong. Then we unleash a long Mad Libs run that turns into surreal improv before we ask what’s ruining your life right now. 
• thinking it’s Friday when it’s Thursday 
• “wasting” time travel and why it feels pointless 
• getting a job update and going back to full-time work 
• weekend schedule stress and the joy of free workouts 
• Happy Gilmore 2 as a nostalgia-heavy comeback sequel 
• Rocky II as slower drama with big questions about fatherhood 
• Mad Libs stories that escalate into total nonsense 
• whether live Mad Libs on Twitch should return

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_00

Today's Thursday.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. That's a twist.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. I'm gonna be uh fully packed throughout the weekend. My schedule is completely booked. So I can't record tomorrow, which is Friday. It's Thursday. Yes. And we need to get this over with before I have to go to gymnastics. So we're gonna we're gonna zoom.

Okay.

The Pointless Time Travel Question

SPEAKER_00

We're gonna do this on Zoom. Do you wanna meet me on Zoom? Sure. You go home and you turn on your laptop and we'll get on the computer instead. Yeah. And we'll waste time with travel.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Sounds sounds like a good idea.

SPEAKER_00

Wasted time travel.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

What would be a traveling time travel experience that would be a complete waste of time?

SPEAKER_01

Maybe like uh to like five minutes ago or like five.

SPEAKER_00

I guess if if you if you didn't do anything that you regret five minutes ago, then it would be kind of dumb to go back to that time if you didn't want to edit your life.

SPEAKER_01

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00

So yeah, I guess so. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And I mean uh if you only have like uh a fine amount or or what what do you uh certain amount a certain amount of uh time travels, maybe you shouldn't waste it.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, if you're like limited to a certain amount of times you can time travel. Yeah, I'm gonna go back to five minutes ago just to test it out. Oh, it worked. Now I only have four more tries.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So I'm gonna go back to that boring movie that I watched that one time and uh just uh I don't know, enjoy my nap, I guess. We're gonna go back to when we watched James Bond.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Just for the nap. Good times. Yeah. Good times when we just slept right through movie nights. We didn't record podcasts. We didn't episode several uh episodes.

SPEAKER_01

No, we didn't.

SPEAKER_00

And we slept a lot.

SPEAKER_01

Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, um there were some tragedies.

SPEAKER_01

And uh there's a lot of cameos and uh guest appearances from other celebrities.

It feels like this was like the ultimate Adam Sandler movie.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it feels like it was uh his Swan song, if you or whatever. Okay. Swanson. Swanson.

SPEAKER_00

Ron Swanson.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Okay. Like he's um like he would tie the knot or something. I hope not. I hope he stills keep on doing stills. Still keeps on doing I hope he stays still. Yeah. So he doesn't die.

SPEAKER_00

Be careful. Yeah. Yeah. So uh the shooter McGavin guy was back in this movie. Like everyone from the first movie came back.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And like even the dead people, all the dead people came back and somehow. And uh he teamed up with shooter McGavin to uh defeat this new high-tech form of golf.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And i yeah, it goes well for them.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. And the sixth uh sense boy kid was there. He was like the bad guy or antagonists.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, he was one of them.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

He wasn't one of the bad guys.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, he was like the main or yeah, like the main competition.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. That was cool. Yeah. To see him again. Yeah, and I like that uh uh shooter was a good guy this time.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Well it started off like is he gonna be a good guy or a bad guy? Yeah. We weren't really sure.

SPEAKER_01

No. And uh I really liked the cemetery fight.

SPEAKER_00

Um yes, with all the dead people.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Uh that was really funny.

SPEAKER_00

It was funny. It was a really funny movie.

SPEAKER_00

Uh what we're moving. Okay.

SPEAKER_03

Uh what did you think about this movie?

SPEAKER_00

I thought it was a really good movie. I've been looking forward to this one for a while. And uh it's been out for a while, but we just now watched it first time together, right? Yes. Right? Yes. Okay, just checking. You haven't sneakily watched it without me. No. Okay. Well, it was a good movie. It was funny. I enjoyed it, and I really like this kind of movie. The comeback movies are probably my favorites.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, especially when you get like uh the same actors playing these roles.

SPEAKER_00

When everyone comes back, yeah. Come back movies. Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Ah, now I get it.

SPEAKER_00

You get it? Oh good. Okay. Uh is that all?

SPEAKER_01

I think so.

SPEAKER_00

Because I think you said that you liked the movie.

SPEAKER_01

I did like the movie.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, now you've repeated yourself. Yeah. So I'm gonna tell you about Rocky 2.

SPEAKER_02

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

This is a movie with Stallone.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Again. And Carl Weathers was there again as Apollo Creed.

SPEAKER_02

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

And he's a little grumpy about the last time they had a boxing match, and he can't let it go. So he's like, let's do it again. And Rocky is like, nah, I don't really feel like it because you beat up my eyeball and they're hurt. And my eye. And my good eye. And he marries uh uh our our Armin. Astrid. Adrian. Adrian is her name, and I knew that. Yeah. I just kind of forgot for a second.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And uh she they get married and they have a baby, and then she takes a nap. And that makes Rocky kind of sad.

SPEAKER_03

And he also wanna sleep.

SPEAKER_00

He also wanted to take a nap, but it was her turn to take a nap. They couldn't nap at the same time. And so eventually They refuse to watch the baby though. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Well, she was taking the nap. Her nap.

SPEAKER_00

In a way, I kinda get it that he refused to see the baby without her.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

But on the other hand, like you need to be a father from day one, whether she's there or not. So, like, what would he have done if she had died there?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Would he be like, no, I refuse to take care of this baby because Adrian's not there.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Like, okay, what kind of father are you then? Uh so yeah, that was the only really questionable part that I had.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

And that's the movie.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Uh there is a boxing match eventually, but it takes a really long time to get to there. Get there. Yeah. Uh get to there. Get to the there. Uh what did you think about the movie?

SPEAKER_01

I mean uh I guess it's a good follow-up to the first movie. Uh and um yeah, I I don't know. I I don't hate it. I I didn't love the first one, I don't love this either. But uh I I think it's pretty good for a Rocky movie. Yeah. Uh uh. I don't know. What what did you think?

SPEAKER_00

Which one's better? This one or the first one?

SPEAKER_01

Uh in a way, I I mean the first one is a classic because of this b uh behind the scenes story. I think uh that that's my feel. Like uh because uh that's more uh inspiring to me, but I kinda like this one because it's the first one feels so dark. This one gets a little bit, you know, brighter uh in some ways.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

What do you think?

SPEAKER_00

I think that there was a bit more like action in the first one. This one was a lot more like drama, personal stuff, and then you kinda get to uh all the action at the very end.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So I don't know. I I might have liked the first one better.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I feel like these two movies could be like one long movie. Yeah, sure. I in a way, but um yeah, uh because I kind of feel like they're not that far from each other.

SPEAKER_00

They could have been because I mean, yeah, the beginnings start during the first movie.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

We got to watch half of the first movie at the beginning of this movie, so they could have been one movie, but whatever.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I did enjoy it. I had questions, but that's all.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

It wasn't terrible.

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_00

It was questionable.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

But the first one was better.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Anything else?

SPEAKER_01

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_00

Why?

SPEAKER_01

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00
