Minnesota-Baltimore. It's a Kirby Pucket. Rick Aguilera blows the save. Randy Milgan game-winning double, which we see on TV. And that's the end of a Twins streak. Minnesota wins the World Series. A few good men. Determining the World Series. Apex Mountain. Demi Morneau. Oh, I have one more piece of internet research. Sorry. What do you got? There is a New York Times article about how at one point in the 2010s, there were a bunch of lawyers in Connecticut who were claiming to have been the inspiration for Daniel Caffey. And it was like right at that edge where you could get away with shit like that and no one would really investigate it. So there's a guy who just had a website who's like, you may have seen a few good men. That was me. If you get in an accident, I will defend you. And then the New York Times was like, is that true? And he was like, he just took it off his website. That's pretty sick. People should do shit like that more. I was the inspiration for cruising. Now I work for Bill Simmons. Apex bound for Nicholson? No. What is? But what is? It's probably Chinatown, right? He's got cuckoo's nest in Chinatown back to back. It's somewhere in there. Yeah. Jesus Christ. What a combo. Iron Weed? I mean, you could make the argument broadcast news in Batman is when he's like the biggest star. Code Reds, I'm going to say yes. Marching bands performing whatever that song was, yes. Guantanamo Bay, no. Kevin Pollack, yes. Yeah. Sorkin, no. JT Walsh? No, Blue Chips. Blue Chips? We owe it to him. Yoo-hoo? Yeah. Until tonight. Bacon, no. Rob Reiner. Seinfeld just got picked up. Castle Rock is coming. I'm going to say yes. Did you read that Goldman was like on retainer at Castle Rock? Oh my God. Castle Rock was just thrown by everybody. He just like kept in office and they're like, Bill, could you come in and just fix this for us on every project they worked on? Amazing. How about softball practice? CR. Definitely cinematically, yeah. I hope that there have been better softball practices, but. Wolfgang Bodesen. Yeah. Yes. Tom Cruise? I feel like we've already decided his apex mountain. I think it was Jerry Maguire. Yeah. Which he should have won the Oscar for. Best racehorse name? Oh, I have some more apex mountains. What do you got? Lactic Acidosis. And it's definitely apex mountain for having only two books at your bedside, the Marine Corps Code of Conduct and the King James Bible? Best racehorse name? Code Red, Jessup, or Markinson's gone? The Rocco Columbo School for Women? Let's do the Mallory Rubin Award for did this movie need a better sex scene? Or a sex scene. So, TriStar executives instructed Sorkin to make several changes to the story, including a sex scene with Caffeine Galloway. Sorkin was traumatized by it. And an unnamed executive gave him the note, if Tom Cruise and Demi Moore aren't going to sleep with each other, why is Demi Moore a woman? And he responded, I said the obvious answer, women have purposes other than to sleep with Tom Cruise. I was super upset about it. Famous good women character writer Aaron Sorkin. But we gotta figure out did this movie need a better sex scene? So we're bringing a special guest. We've made up Meghan Markle. Come on out. No. Mallory Rubin. Come on out. Bill, you want me on that wall? You need me on that wall? This podcast just went from PG-13 to rated R. Mallory, this award is named after you. Did this movie need a better sex scene? Or a sex scene? Absolutely. What are we doing here? Like a lot of high stress days? Yeah. How is everybody relaxing? Jack Daniels in softball. Kathy is just like me watching too much of the Orioles to have any sex at all. You know? It's tough. The only sexual thing in the movie at all is the Jessup blowjob story. So barring what would be certainly the winner of what's aged the worst which is like a daydream sequence where we get to see that in full. I don't think we have too many candidates but I think we have three possible options for a Kathy sex scene.
