[00:00] When you talk about an under Google this week, Coalson, you've been you've been coy with your your question
[00:08] What do you got for us? I have I'm excited about this one. I don't know how it'll play. Well, we'll see what happens here
[00:16] So I found out something interesting
[00:20] Victor Oladipo's favorite movie. He says he watches it every night is
[00:27] the goofy movie
[00:30] What and I would like us to speculate what the plot of the goofy movie is
[00:38] Has anybody seen the goofy movie? I've never heard of the goofy movie
[00:43] Okay, so it's goofy from like, you know, Mickey Mouse and yeah, Disney goofy, right?
[00:50] Yeah, yeah, who just has the really silly laugh and like whoa. Yeah. Yeah, I can't do it
[00:57] Anyway, yeah, some sort of he's a dog. I think it's like some sort of learning disability or something
[01:03] Yeah, it's the learning disabled dog goofy
[01:08] And there's a movie
[01:11] Called the goofy movie. I'm sure it has a plot. Can we speculate what that would be? It's just Victor Oladipo's favorite movie
[01:18] Yeah, maybe it's about basketball
[01:21] Well, let's all in the hook from his days in Orlando. Is he like
[01:26] Because I take that money that Disney money is gonna be solid. Yeah
[01:34] Goofy movie. So so the general plot of every movie is
[01:41] Boy meets girl. Hmm boy loses girl. Okay and
[01:49] Then somehow boy has to win girl back redemption and then there's a happy ending
[01:56] So you think it's a romantic comedy not like in an action-adventure?
[02:03] Yeah, but it's so so
[02:06] Boy meets girl are just representative things. So it could be boy has a
[02:12] Desire to do something climb Mount Everest or something
[02:15] Goes from Mount Everest some obstacle comes in the way
[02:19] Can't do it
[02:21] thus the what do you call that the rising conflict or something and then the
[02:27] Then eventually they are able to overcome that and then
[02:34] You have a day new mom. Yeah, I know
[02:37] That's pretty that's pretty solid. It's like climax. I'm with you. I was thinking more of the live
[02:43] I'm more action-adventure II, but there's definitely some you know, it has to be a story of overcoming obstacles, right? I mean that
[02:51] right
[02:53] Okay, so what it what would does does goofy have a
[02:58] Love interest that we know of is there a female?
[03:01] counterpart to goofy
[03:03] Cuz I feel like even if it is just action-adventure, you probably do have a minor
[03:09] Love interest, right? It's just kind of who's always thought was like sort of a revenge movie
[03:18] Like Death Wish so it's like taken but with me, right
[03:23] All right, so someone is stolen goofy does goofy have children he's got some bodies
[03:31] Yeah, stolen his I'm sure son slash daughter owned. Maybe it was bone. Okay. I think he's been fixed, you know
[03:39] That's the responsible thing to do
[03:43] But spay and neuter you don't want more your dog now
[03:47] My other question is do you think Mickey Mouse is in this one?
[03:51] For sure. He's got power right? Yeah, but I mean nobody's going to watch just goofy right, right?
[03:56] Does Mickey Mouse play a large role or a small role? Oh, yeah, he's like the Bodhisattva that gets him
[04:03] Over the thing, right? Okay coaches him up
[04:07] Nice. Yeah. All right. You see him like levitating while meditating. Yeah
[04:12] All
[04:14] Right, so I like climb out nepharists is there something else smaller than that goofy might want to accomplish
[04:21] Well, what when do we think the goofy movie came out and then maybe we can speculate as to what the challenge?
[04:28] This is a good point
[04:29] I was thinking about Disney would make something that would be like, you know, the Germans are coming to get us or sure
[04:37] Yeah, socialism is on the rise so we got to tamp that down or something
[04:41] well, so I was thinking about this because I I
[04:44] Thought the same thing like was this a 70s movie or something that I'd never heard of but most likely it came out when
[04:50] He was a young man. Yeah, that's why it would be his favorite movie
[04:53] So when was he like eight how old would what year would that have been?
[04:58] Kids these days
[05:03] So that would be like 17 years ago, so we're talking
[05:07] 2000
[05:08] 90 2001 so 90s early to goofy is definitely like we were in college or in high school and didn't notice some kind
[05:15] Yeah, I think it's I think it's pretty deep. I think it does pre I think it's pre-2000. That's my theory
[05:20] Okay, I think we were in high school and didn't notice a kids movie
[05:25] Or it's in like
[05:27] 2010 and yeah, he's taken on terrorists because if it's a September 11th like post September 11th
[05:32] I mean it could be yeah Jason you could be on to something. It could be
[05:36] You know some sort of propaganda movie sure taking out terrorists
[05:40] And then and Mickey comes in to help at the end
[05:43] There's a another slightly literally challenge like a
[05:47] Donald Duck film where he's like
[05:51] Getting people ready for war or something like that for sure. Yeah teaching them how to
[05:57] Conserve plastics or something like that conserve rubber, maybe oh sure yeah
[06:03] Okay, so we think it's coming out in the late 90s. That's my name in the late 90s. It's a maybe maybe uh
[06:10] Why 2k people are worried about why 2k?
[06:13] And goofy has to
[06:16] Kill like robots the digital yeah something robots have taken over
[06:23] Or or or goofy is underestimated because he people think he's a
[06:30] dotard as
[06:31] the wise leader would say and
[06:36] He
[06:38] It takes some coding classes and comes up with a way to solve
[06:42] Why 2k I guess there's not a lot of action. That's not very good for screen. Yeah
[06:48] Well there's definitely an underestimate aspect right like I think
[06:52] That's gonna appeal to Victor right. Yes, that's right. Mm-hmm
[06:55] Yeah, and definitely has something to do with like saving his friends, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah
[07:03] He seems a very self-aware
[07:06] Intelligent guy. It's it's probably a very thoughtful film
[07:09] Don't mind Victor. Yeah, Victor or goofy. Well, I mean I mean when I when I think thoughtful and deep Disney's goofy just leaps to
[07:19] Yeah
[07:21] All right, so do we should we look up the plot of this movie or maybe we should just all watch this on
[07:27] Undebated con. Oh, we should definitely
[07:30] oh
[07:31] We yeah, I think we're due for a
[07:35] Sharknado or a shark a king. Oh, yes, we are sir
[07:38] Okay, so apparently we can have a marathon because there's a goofy movie, too. Yes
[07:44] We went direct to video, correct?
[07:48] an
[07:49] Extremely goofy movie April 7th
[07:53] 1995 okay. Okay, we were kind of a little earlier than we thought we're kind of in the ballpark
[08:00] definitely not about terrorists
[08:03] When max makes a preposterous promise to a girl that he has a crush on his chances to
[08:09] Fulfilling it seem hopeless when he is dragged onto a cross-country trip with his embarrassing father goofy
[08:16] He does have a goofy's kid
[08:19] tries to ask a girl out and then
[08:22] Goofy makes dad jokes and embarrasses them. You can watch it on Amazon for $2.99
[08:27] You guys how much are they gonna pay me to watch this movie?
[08:31] He's amiable cluelessness and klutzy prep falls regularly embarrass his awkward adolescent son max
[08:39] There you go, it was a romantic comedy
[08:42] They're like teen romance. Yeah teen romance and the embarrassing dad with dad jokes
[08:48] Yeah, the movie tagline is it's hard to be cool when your dad is goofy. Oh, that's clever
[08:55] Thank God leave it to Disney to be clever. It seems like a classic. Yeah, I'm excited to watch it
[09:01] And then we'll get the review for you
[09:05] And this is what Victor falls asleep to every night. Maybe we'll have some insight into the Pacers
[09:11] What I don't even understand this so the storyline synopsis on
[09:18] IMDb.com is
[09:21] Weird, but it ends with a few questions will max sink or swim will goofy give up will goofy goof up
[09:28] His son's first shot at romance will Bigfoot step back what and what about those nuns?
[09:40] There's some subplots that
[09:42] Yeah, oh, this is great
[09:45] All right. Well sold sold. It was a good. It was a good one. We were but
[09:51] We were mostly right. Yeah. No, I did good
[09:54] Jason had it from the beginning. We probably should have stopped there. I bet he you know what I bet he falls asleep to this every night
[10:05] This is why Victor Oladipa is my favorite player. Yeah, that's right. Shout out Victor
[10:11] Showed out and shout out to telling you know a camera that
[10:18] Not everybody would do that it's true. Well apparently got the hood scuba
[10:21] Well, apparently he was caught singing the song like in the shower
[10:25] There's a song to it and you know, he's quite the singer
[10:28] And so somebody asked him what that was from or actually I think he he bet the reporter
[10:33] They couldn't guess what movie it was from. That's the story. Okay, and uh, and then it'll be and it was the goofy movie
[10:40] And he admitted at that point that it was his favorite movie
[10:43] So there you go. It's just no chance. He was being facetious. I don't know not the way it was reported to me, sir
[10:53] facts are facts
[10:56] Victor will let us know if he was teasing. I don't think he was I think this is his favorite movie
[11:00] And it appears that Mickey Mouse was not in this movie. Whoa. I
[11:07] Mean, where's your Robert Downey jr. In spider-man like, you know, you got to have it
[11:12] You got to have Mickey Mouse. No wonder what nobody saw this movie
[11:16] Yeah, that was the marketing error that was made which is why we don't know it. This is exactly Donald Duck wasn't it? Okay
[11:23] Thank you
[11:24] It's a Disney B Lister
