Is there a town in Texas where you can steal a police car, convince three other girls to take your clothes off, and then drive around the town with the siren on? With alcohol in the car? Yeah, absolutely. Okay. There's like six towns. Okay. You could do that in. We do a thing called Apex Mountain. We try to figure out if anybody's career was at its apex during the movie. James Van Der Beek. I'm going to say yes for this. He's on Dawson's Creek. He's leading a football movie. And he won Teen Choice and MTV Movie Award. This was his apex. Does being a meme count? Because I kind of feel like his second life as a meme is like much, much more impactful than this. Mallory? I just think Dawson goes on for so many more years and becomes such a sensation for tweens everywhere. And that's really what he is still like most associated with. So I think it's the later Dawson years for him. For him, yeah. Well, who are the other options? We go each one. Scott Kahn? No. He's on Hawaii Five-0. He's got that network pace. He was in the Oceans movie. He's in the Oceans movie. Ali Larder. No. Final Destinations are great. She fought Beyonce. Yeah. And heroes. So that was her apex. Amy Smart, we already covered now. Jon Voight, I think, won an Oscar. So I don't think this was his career. For Midnight Cowboy in 1969. Also fathered Angelina Jolie. That's right. Anaconda is his apex. He fought an anaconda. In the movie Anaconda. Snake. And then thrown up by a snake. That's over at Oscar? Yeah. Ice Cube and J-Lo. Billy Bob. Sadly, this was his apex. And then Paul Walker. No. No. Not even close. In fact, certainly not. It paved the way for one of my favorite apexes. The Paul Walker apex. He was so great here. He was just so beautiful and pristine. Right. Perfect. Would you have guessed that he was going to be the biggest star from this movie? 100%. Yeah. I think I would have too. 100%. Yes. I have a question. It's going to break your brain. If they had switched parts, is this a better movie? No. Vanderbeek and Paul Walker? Yeah. No. Paul Walker is mocks. He's not believable as the backup. No. That's the thing. There's no life where Paul Walker is a backup to anybody. Okay. To anybody. Especially not James Vanderbeek. All right. We're going to pick some nits. Oh, my God. Oh, we have a lot of nits to be picked today. No coaches. So, Bud Kilmer leaves. This is crazy. There's like two other coaches in the trainer's room trying to basically give this guy the shot. But then they come out for the second half. No coaches. What happened to the other coaches? And why did they only have two assistants? No idea. Well, what happened?
