The whole segment, as transcribed
establishing shot inside the stadium is a wrigley field and it's blatantly wrigley field watch the scene again they there's the cop outside and they're walking around and then so that's angel stadium when they the outside shot of the stadium is angel and then they go into wrigley which i don't i have no idea why and then the rest of it seems to be dodger stadiums they're all over the map but it's naked guns who cares yeah apex mountain okay leslie nelson i'm gonna say yes so i know we're kind of shitting on the sequels the second one was a bigger hit with bigger money and like he he then had a franchise and i really think it's the second one that got him all those shitty movies you never saw later i think it's a couple years later i like it arbor day i really should get my rest tomorrow being arbor day and i'll see we can't even remember all the lines that's like the 80th line in the movie i would have thought of it's the last time anyone's ever mentioned arbor day so i'm going apex mountain oj simpson probably not no no how about umpiring all right so the shittiest part was was i can't believe we haven't brought this up yet how about in the fan de niro behind the plate doing a frank dreban with the mask one of the worst scenes of all time so stupid i felt like i cared about umpires more in the late 80s so having an umpire be part of a baseball movie i don't know i feel like it might have been the apex i knew the umpires names well it's cool joe west the real umpire is in this and he's he's one of the guys that dreban throws out and everybody knows joe west george kennedy i'm gonna say no reggie jackson no reggie jackson hit three homers in a game deciding world series and the fans all poured on the but i bet he gets asked about this a lot you know what's funny is like when queen elizabeth finally died two years ago all anybody was tweeting was reggie jackson jokes like just everything i'm first reggie jackson that's like a 35 year old movie montalban no the california angels it's either naked gun or it's almost beating the red sox in 86 and then blowing it so it's probably for the angels fans probably naked not the anaheim angels like the california california when they were called the california angels i know priscilla presley yeah i mean she married as an actress yes yeah i think it is bad guy toupees i just want more info about his toupee and fantasy island from you i know you left some some fuel in the tank on that one i i i think it has to be you were fired up about that i love nothing more than bad toupees it's probably my number one thing that i enjoy uh my favorite one ever was steve sanders dad and 90210 right and it might not even been a toupee but it's just it's just a work of art it's just beautiful it's this big gray helmet on its head but i like when it looks like a helmet do you see them like in public like if you're at a restaurant we've noticed someone with the toupee and like that that i gotta say it's it's one of my skills it really is i've said this before but toupees breast implants yeah dentures i can spot any sort of chicanery i i can spot like if someone has a glass eye you're like that's bullshit on that glass eye sammy davis i knew immediately i knew what was going on with him uh last one for apex mountain national anthems okay i'm gonna give you my mount rushmore for national anthems and tell me if you disagree i love this the best national anthem of all time was marvin gaye at the 1983 nba all-star game it's it's unassailable it's like arguing about michael jordan as the goat like it's just can't be argued winny houston at the super bowl although there were rumors she might have well that's the one that people point to a lot that would be the lebron and the michael jordan conversation or the kobe because that was desert storm she does great one those two have to be mentioned yeah that fourth spot you got fergie after enrico palazzo that some people would throw jimmy hendrix woodstock in there sure creativity kind of a moment um i went through i googled everybody's top 30 national anthems like no there's nothing like really was like oh that's definitely it because i was trying to work backwards like there's no way you could cut this out but i would argue enrico palazzo is is in the top four i really think it is it's one of the funniest scenes of the movie it's a it's an iconic 80s comedy there's never been a scene like that it's it's kind of pushing the envelope a little bit yeah you know some people are like you're not allowed to that that's our country don't do that so but it's done tastefully i just think it's a great scene i'm with you completely and i do think what you're saying is i don't think you do a scene now in a comedy where somebody maskers the national anthem i think what's really interesting is that two years later after this movie roseanne barr does it in san diego and pretty much ruins her career for a long time it's a great huge huge story in the news and then we got a shout out our guy carl lewis probably the most infamous one of all time and the worst one of all time but there's there's no there's only snippets of video from that nobody has the entire that was the funniest though you're right carl lewis might be it might be him versus jimmy hendrix for that fourth spot mostly the clip that you see it's from sports center and it's charlie steiner trying to get through the broadcast and just dying it and he says francis scott off key at one point carl lewis stopped one of the best jokes uh-oh i'll make up for it now it's unbelievable yeah steiner nailed that broadcast it was so good that's really really a fun list um i have a little list myself for apex mountain and i'm right with you so take away national anthem just funny singing in movies like scenes where a character sings and it's fucking hilarious i've got frank drab the national anthem okay yeah um will ferrell old school he does dust in the wind it's great in stepbrothers he does something to talk about yeah ladies night john lovitz and the wedding singer is a fantastic performance um cameron diaz and my best friend's wedding but our guy bill he will rock you and he will roll you i got i got dirt come on come on come on maybe we do that twice at the end yeah i think that's it for me and that's not even there's the other scene where he sings the second song when when when chest is in the in the production booth i think it's i think it's our guy dirk even funnier than leslie it's pretty good it's probably dirk and will ferrell in the finals because will ferrell has a bunch of them i know it's funny when he sings like what you said old school what were the movies you had for him old school he does dust in the wind like at the funeral when i think when blue dies and then in stepbrothers he sings something to talk about but you left out an anchor man too though what does he sing an anchor man he's saying they sing that uh oh yeah afternoon delight afternoon delight yeah yeah and he does uh he does porti velare also in stepbrothers at the end at the catalina wine oh right oh yeah don't they sing an anchor man too too which is now becoming like legitimately underrated and is a stealth rewatchable candidate yeah i think they have a singing thing in that too yeah it's it's it's i think it's exactly what they wanted to happen has now happened oh okay where they they kind of made it so that 12 years from now people be like you know it's fucking good anchor man too i think that was their entire intention of the movie cruiser hanks this category is so fun i've been listening to the episodes listen we i don't think we can i don't think we can have cruise as frank drevin i i think what's interesting is that hanks did it a year later he was in dragnet and he was kind of the wild role and akroyd was more of the straight man yeah but i just think that like every hanks is so much better than cruise comedically i really do think he's head and shoulders above with comedy i gotta go hanks yeah i don't think there's any question hanks we can't have cruises driven racehorse rock band wrestler fantasy team name i couldn't come up with one for this do you have i got it my fantasy team name is our lady of the worthless miracle i love that joke that's great what was
