The whole segment, as transcribed

We mentioned Paul Abdul. When that bus is a rockin', don't come a knockin'. What do you got for a body count in this movie? You had to guess. How many dead bodies? I'm going to say 40 dead bodies. 32. 32. Apex Mountain. Arnold, not yet. But we're getting closer. It's got to be that Terminator 2. Yeah, Total Recall. We're close. He's setting it up. Richard Dawson. I'm going to say no. Because I really do think it was probably when Match Game and Family Feud were on at the same time. There was no follow-up to this? He didn't get further movies? He didn't go off on a run or something? It's his last movie. He's done. Is that because he had health problems or just didn't want to do it? I think he might have health problems. I mean, you can't discount the amount of cigarettes everybody was smoking back then. In the movie alone, he's constantly smoking. Jesse the Body Ventura, I'm going to say yes. Because he's the announcer for WrestleMania 3 the same year. The greatest WrestleMania of all time. He's the biggest, probably other than John Madden, the biggest announcer we have for sports and fake sports. When he was with Gorilla Monsoon. Predator and this movie. It really felt like bigger things were going to happen for him. Well, here's the question. Is it bigger to be the play-by-play for WrestleMania 3 or to literally be the governor of Minnesota? Which is bigger? It's a good call. So you think governor of Minnesota for him? Well. I don't know. He's pretty famous. Everybody between wrestling and the running man. I don't know. I know. It's a good battle. Predator. Yafakoto. Yafakoto. I mean, it's probably he was on Homicide or one of those? Yeah. One of those cops. I didn't watch those shows, but I know of them. His movie thing for me. He's Brubaker. He's a lot of great movies. But Midnight Run is like, that's one of the great. It always comes back to that. I know you love that movie. It's awesome. Futuristic action movies? I don't think so. I think. It's got to be Terminator 2, right? Yeah. Terminator 2 or Total Recall. Yeah. Those are better. This is just a little more fun. How about the Maserati Quattroporto Il Stretch Limo? Was that the limo? Or the three. It was the number. Is the Maserati Quattroporto 3? Yeah. Stretch Limo. That's what Dawson gets out of. It's fucking awesome. 80s movies always had a cool limo with that like boomerang looking antenna on the back. You had to get a limo in. And Crocodile Dundee has a cool limo. They all did. Fake reality TV shows that predicted the future. Definitely. Yeah. And then The Marriage of Figaro sung by Dynamo. I don't know if it's ever been done better. He says, clap if you love. And then he electrifies it. And it says Dynamo. And he's an opera singer. It's incredible. Well, you haven't been on the pod since we added this category, which is the best category
