… grass. Might have been fair. In a space where you're not supposed to really have grass because it's a desert. Sure. Yeah, they probably put turf in there. Apex Mountain. Dempsey, no. Peterson, sadly, yes. Yeah, definitely. Lawnmowers? Oh, interesting. Better use of a lawnmower in a movie that you can remember? I say no. Lawnmower is like a featured character. Yeah. The only other one that comes to mind is on the episode of Mad Men where someone gets their foot run over. Oh, right. Forgot about that. That's a good call. High school movies. I'm going to say no as much as I like this. But popularity, striving …

The whole segment, as transcribed

Well, then I guess I'm wrong. But anyway. No, I'm just saying that those fields are not cheap. Okay. So then they got a good deal. Especially if you're doing grass. Might have been fair. In a space where you're not supposed to really have grass because it's a desert. Sure. Yeah, they probably put turf in there. Apex Mountain. Dempsey, no. Peterson, sadly, yes. Yeah, definitely. Lawnmowers? Oh, interesting. Better use of a lawnmower in a movie that you can remember? I say no. Lawnmower is like a featured character. Yeah. The only other one that comes to mind is on the episode of Mad Men where someone gets their foot run over. Oh, right. Forgot about that. That's a good call. High school movies. I'm going to say no as much as I like this. But popularity, striving for popularity movies, it might be Apex Mountain. It's been ripped off for 35 years since. You can make the case. Yeah. I just feel like in terms of like, I just feel like this is like an old NBA player who was really important, but the game has changed so much. But don't get too carried away. Yeah. Yeah. So maybe Mean Girls. Mean Girls? Yeah, something like that. Courtney Gaines. I'm going to say yes. Wow. Tucson, Arizona. What are some of the other candidates for this? I mean, for what else? Tucson could have been their Apex. I mean, their Hall of Fame. Yeah, I don't know. Well, I just associate with Steven Spielberg. He's from Tucson, isn't he? Or is he from Phoenix? Maybe Steven Spielberg is. The Volkswagen Cabriolet. Unquestionably yes. I mean, I've never actually wanted a car based on a movie before, and now I do. It's the huge winner. Arizona movies? So you got Raising Arizona right around here too? Mm-hmm. Arizona's make a little run. Yeah. Make a case. I think it's this. It makes Arizona look great. Yeah, I think it is too. How about borderline prostitution rom-coms? I think it's in its class of its own. Because as I told you, I was trying to think of other ones where there's like a monetary exchange. So 10 Things I Hate About You, they pay Heath Ledger, but they're not paying any of the women. Risky Business and Pretty Women's actual prostitutes, so it's not borderline. They're disqualified. Yeah. So if we're going borderline prostitution, I think this might be one of one. I agree. Any other Apex Mountains? No. Covered well. Best racehorse name? It's got to be Slow Clap. That would be a great horse name. Here comes Slow Clap. That's a good one. What about Tuxedo of Tucson? The ice cream shop as a horse name. I like it. Yeah. That's a good one. Yeah. Also, I feel like there's a lot of rich people in Arizona, so they'd be excited to pay, you know, to acknowledge that through the name of their horse. Picking Knits. Oh, man. The suede outfit's $1,000. That's my wife and daughter were outraged that it would be that much. They weren't sure it would cost $1,000 now. I think it's close. I mean, leather's really expensive. Depends on what kind of material it is. Like, I don't know. It's expensive. I disagree. I think that actually, that checks out to me. $1,000? So that's like probably, what, $3,500 now? Yeah. Leather and suede are like really premium leather and suede are expensive. So her divorced mom has a $3,500 jacket in the closet? I was just going to ask, how do they afford that to begin with? I don't know, but that's a different question. I mean, that's a different knit to pick. Ben Simmons is big knit pick. Okay. When Ronnie and Cindy go to school together as a fake couple for the first day and she's like, I've got to fix your outfit. And she rips the sleeves off. He's like, there's no fucking way those sleeves would rip off that easily. He's just like adamant. He just can't believe that they did it that way. I completely agree. Yeah. Question for you. Yeah. Was American Bandstand still relevant in 1987? Barely. Yeah. I think if you were a nerd who wasn't really in touch with the culture, you might have thought so. Okay. The bigger question is how could you have turned on the Annie Ater ritual channel and thought that was American Bandstand? Like nobody would be that sheltered. But we mentioned Ronnie would just have no idea this entire time Cindy didn't like him is a little far-fetched. Yeah. It's ridiculous. And also that he didn't just fall in love with her. That's even more ridiculous, actually, that he was willing to just move on from her because he changed or whatever. Yeah. I just feel like who's better than Cindy Mancini? No, nobody. Especially in that school. You mentioned the little kid being just allowed to leave his house at his discretion for long periods of time. He was like 10. That was weird. My son pointed this one out too. Why didn't more people care at the party that Bobby was back?
