The whole segment, as transcribed

and i didn't feel that way at all watching it but it's fine i gotta say they should have a football stadium in new york city i think it's bullshit new york city's gigantic there's no way they couldn't have found a place to put a 60 000 somewhere in queen central park anywhere central park um okay ripping through apex mountain will smith nice this is this is it's got to be late 90s yeah ava mendez we're right around it uh yeah i was looking at this is the biggest movie she's ever been in again she's also acts really well in this movie yeah i think this movie is a good performance kevin james i think yes well because he's still on absolutely absolutely not queen of queens is peeing right now tv movies top 10 movie and he's now he's a show he's more mean than man was mall cop not like a huge hit am i tripping i think it was a hit yeah but but being on tv with a movie okay so everything again well i think this probably sets up mall cop and all the other stuff mall cop was one of the movies people saw my age because they're like it would be funny if we just went and saw this movie kind of like morbid or minions yeah they were like let's go see mall cop oh no we're all doing it for the bit yeah benadryl oh apex mountain hmm i don't know the answer is no it's it's all the parents who realized they could give children's benadryl to their kids so they wouldn't cry in a plane doesn't work that's not what that's not what i was a kid when i was a kid it worked for our kids must be nice it's giving you know i was giving you know what you legitimately was putting my bottle to calm me down because i was so high strong hennessy i didn't see you true story i like graduation party i was like usually you're on the gum have a little graduation party can i have a little hennessy like my uncle david rest in peace give me a little i got the i got the i got the i got the hennessy and my grandmother goes oh look i'm what it's like he still likes it i'm like what he still likes it like i still like it like yeah it's like you were a high strong little baby we used to take a little hennessy like you just stretching your mama a little bit put it in the bottle see this is why these were the greatest generations what i was you turned out great well i've heard about the whiskey on the guns yeah whiskey on the guns yeah yeah yeah like little hennessy in there uh jet skis no amber no wait why no for jet skis there's got to be something better with jet skis right like some bond movie or something like in speed to cruise control oh the first episode of eastbound and down eastbound but multiple yeah oh he's spouting down i mean come on the miami music video also yeah amber valetta i'm gonna say yes i don't i didn't know she was in nothing else after this so yeah men's hair waxing scenes weirdly 40 year old virgin is same year and has a better hair wax is the same did 40 come out first or this movie because i don't know i think they made them both in a it feels like they wanted that scene to be a big moment and then they had to change it because it feels like they wanted that to be a set piece yeah it's kind of yeah it goes fast in this it's like weirdly why is it even in the movie yeah ellis island i'm gonna say no for apex mountain no i don't think it's i'm gonna say it was probably earlier and not even in movies because it would be the golf was it post 9 11 um new york is back movies yeah like just like where new york is an actual character which we should have mentioned at the top but this is a real new york movie great new york movie and it was one of the first ones where you felt like oh yeah new york there's only one to me that i think that is close spider-man even though spider-man comes out pretty soon after yeah but like spider-man it was like a look things are still happening they actually had to take out uh remember the spider-man advertisement the trailer they had where it was he made a web between the the twin towers so it's like next year that next year spider-man was like oh my god it's new york again shit is still happening cruiser hanks it's the most obvious cruise in a while yeah cruise as uh the will smith character yeah basically doing frank mackey from from uh magnolia as in hitch tj mackey is it tj mac who's frank mackey it's frank tj isn't it frank tj mackey yeah you can you can argue it's cruz and hanks could hanks play albert brenneman i think he's too handsome no he's too tall to not show me i'll say something so will so will and tom cruise obviously famously famously best friends for a long time not because they shared the same religion or anything like that but um it what if will calls tom cruise and gets tom cruise to do two days on set as vance munson as vance munson tom cruise would never get hit by a woman like two two days on set as vance munson i can't believe they've never done a movie together they have never not one i don't think so it's kind of weird oh special category how would van lathan get out of this one okay where we going someone finds out van has actually been the date doctor all along what what do you say to ava mendez in this i own it i look directly at her and i say yes i am the date doctor i got i gotta stay employed i number one you're not paying my bills so don't worry about it that's the first thing so i gotta say well that that'll work it's not about whether or not it works it's about me standing up for myself right number two direct eye contact the whole time the entire time okay this is who i am i'm a date doctor and by the way what i do is different than what you do blood-sucking parasites okay like what i do is i help people find love look at all these
