Superman Brandon Routh! - Part 2

impressed with him so far. Again, just the way that he's been able to kind of navigate through the entertainment industry and you know, he's gone from such a huge global role and still being able to work and kind of you know, shed that that Superman stigma and do other things. So you really got to check him out on That's that's the signs of a of a true actor. Oh yeah, it really is. And like you were saying,

Davo like that, this whole the rookie role. Who knows what kind of doors this is going to open globally for Brandon? Yeah, well, I mean it's a completely he's playing not a good person and he's playing a guy that it's definitely a sensitive topic these days. You know, he's a a white police officer Um who has some racial tendencies and uh a really really kind of great character for him to sink his teeth into. But it shows a completely different side of him that I think

people will be very impressed by. I love it. Let's get into it Part two. Dave and I I we we were chatting um this morning about Lebron James, and Lebron James has taken on so many roles as as an athlete, and we think that one of the biggest ones that he took on is he was such a hero in Cleveland, right I'm talking the first time around.

I mean, he was Superman, Spider Man, Captain to Mary, he was everything rolled in he he was, he was, he really was, and and he went from being the hero Brandon to overnight deciding I don't want to be in Cleveland anymore. I'm gonna go to Miami and team up with d Wade and Chris Ball. I'm gonna win some championships in South Beach. And he instantly became the villain.

And so it got us thinking on for you do you because now that you are you're on the rookie and you're sort of playing you played a villain you sort of playing a villain here, you know, and we want to know, like you know, Lebron had second thoughts obviously after he was the villain, you know, when he was villainized, he was like, I gotta get my butt back to Cleveland and go win them a championship. I

need to be the hero again. Right for you as an actor, do you live in the villain space and go, man, this is so awesome to portray and like this challenges me and I want to I want to do this more. Or when you were on set, did you miss being the hero and you go, I want to go back to being a hero. I definitely enjoy playing the hero um more a lot more than than the villain of the bad guy. But I do enjoy the challenge of

of of of the villain. It's important to be able to understand other people's experience and uh being able to betray um in a life like real way. A villain a someone who has um racialized stereotypes and profiles and all does all these things that Doug Stanton did in The Rookie Um, How does how does that? How does that person actually exist? Because unfortunately they do. There are Doug stantons all over the world. Um, and and that's hard. Like for me, I resisted accepting that because I didn't

want to see that part of me come out. But as I've grown as an actor and understanding myself, it's like I can explore that I can be both, a person can be both and and in fact, nobody is all good or nobody is all bad. We're all shades of gray, shades of what you know. Life is not black and white. Yeah, um and uh and plus so

playing Doug helped me understand that. And but and so so it's cool and a great socially like a cool social opportunity to to engage in the social experiment and and get this character out there for people to think about this type of thing. But it's more fun to go and be nice. I also think it's interesting because

you know, you played on the Rookie. You played that kind of kind of evil character, and it's I think it's kind of nice in a way that it happened when it did, because it's during this pandemic where people aren't out and about as much as they would have been had this been a year or two ago, so you haven't really had to deal on a personal level, you know, because sometimes people get very invested in their TV shows and in the characters, so you don't have

to deal with that as much of people coming up to you and being like, oh my god, that's the guy that played you know, that bad coup on the rookie. You know, so that's been little bit of a bonus for you. I'm just getting getting in my Twitter feed. I hate dig Stanton, but I love you. Yeah, yes, I get it. Yeah, it's very true. All right, um, now I'm sorry, hang on one second. You go, well I did I did yours. I know he took mine, So go ahead, now you did this, Brandon, awaits you, David,

you do that, pal, you took my It's okay. That's just the type of guy you are. That's just that's just the type of guy. Um okay. So so Brandon, we've obviously been in a pandemic. We're we're trying to get out of this pandemic. It feels like, for the first time over the last i don't know month, call it maybe even more, maybe a little less, that we're we're we're it feels like we can do it. It

feels like it's actually happening. Um, there are more people in the stands, uh than there ever have been for sporting events. Obviously there was zero and now there's I think, what is it, Dave percent, there's more people in Miami than in the United States partying. So Miami's completely up and running. Yeah, not responsible, um, but you know. And then then there's more people in the theaters than there

have been in the last in the last year. And so we wanted to know from you if you Brannan Ralph had to pick one and you only get one b one actor to put on a screen, not yourself. So one actor to put on the screen that will be responsible for causing people to get back into the stands and watching this person's movie. We have no idea the genre, We have no idea what kind of movie

it is, or who's producing or who's directing. Your responsibility is just I'm gonna put one actor and you want to get as many people in the stands, sorry, as many people in the theater in the seats. Who's the one actor you're putting And then we also want to ask you who is the one athlete you're going to choose to put on a field or court or wherever to get fans back in the stands. So so this is my not like my favorite person necessarily, but who

I think the audience and and America would respond best to. Yeah, I think so. But now I'm curious to hear who your favorite. Now you did it to yourself, Brandon, because it's it's different things like who do I want to see? But if it's if it's responsible for getting people into theaters, jeez, I mean it's hard. There's so many different outlets. There's so many different you know, you don't have There aren't just movie stars for everyone. Now, there movie starts for

age groups. Because we have so much content. So you know, that's why we gave you so many people to choose from. You get one, wow, drum Kyle, you know. Uh, the one that's coming back to me is Tom Hanks. But but Tom Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Uh but they're but there but there, you know. But there's a such a younger audience. It was that Tom holland all the Tom's Now that's true. Tom Hardy, well maybe a few years ago. Uh, oh my gosh, who is the

biggest draw right now? Oh the rock? Are you going to go with the rock. You're going to have to boast the most broad grab of people. Yeah, Devo, who are you picking? Yeah, I mean I might It might be future president Dwayne Johnson. I might agree with with You know what, No, I think what's gonna get people back in theaters. And and this is maybe you know

a nostalgic thing for me, is I think that Top Gun. Yeah, when the new Top Gun comes out, I think people are going to leave their house, even if they could stream it on TV or not, I think They're going to leave their house to go see Top Gun. So yeah, Tom, Tom can be uh can be touch and go for people,

for sure. He's a He's a movie star. Man's he is a he is a movie Well, it's in It's interesting because I have this conversation with people all the time that um and not Jared because it's general with people that I like, But um, I have his conversation with people all the time about the actual the movie star, Like, is the movie star the movie stars kind of a dying breed. It's like an endangered species, the actual movie star.

And there aren't really When you think of a bona fide movie star, you could probably count on your bona fude either tomato tomato, you could count on your on your ten fingers. Probably movie stars. It's it's a dying breed. Um, you know, DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, I mean, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, these guys are they're they're dying out, you know what I mean. Um, And it's gonna be interesting. And like Brandon said, it's because of all the different options and

all the social media. I mean, I was just in Atlanta for that Triller fight and I was with these these kids that are influencers, but you actually call them content creators now because influencer as a negative stigma. These con and creators and people are losing their minds for these kids that make these TikTok videos. You know what I mean, it's in troller videos. It's incredible. So it's

really it's really interesting. But I do think that Tom Cruise is one of those people that yeah, definitely, okay, okay, b give us give us an athlete. What athlete is gonna is gonna put people back in the in the stands. I think I think even even at his age, you put mj on a on a court. Oh yeah, yeah, that's a that's a great it's so true, that's so brilliant. No, that that's that's a great, great call. We didn't stay retired. That's genius. That just raised his g P A comes

full circle. Um, but know that that's a great one. And and I definitely know that to be a fact because the Mike Tyson fight that happened during the pandemic, the Mike Tyson Roy Jones fight, of course, that was one of the top ten paper views in history because people wanted to see Michael Jordan's has that same thing that people wanted to see Mike Tyson to see what was going to happen. There's there's that curiosity there and

there's just certain people that that have that thing. Yeah, I didn't even think And Michael Jordan's is a great, great call. Um, My mom was just saying she was just lipping something. What were you lipping? Mom? Go ahead, she goes, yeah, Michael Brandon Ralph for that. Mom, don't don't don't think Michael Jordan, think Brandon Ralph. Don't go anywhere. Hey, Pam will be right back after a word from our sponsors. Alright,

So now, my friend, we are going our Pal. We're gonna go these our pal We're gonna go into our hey pal movie scenings. So each episode we seed movies, um and uh, we ask people, you know, what is their favorite movie and and and under a certain category. So this category, yeah, yeah, because because because you've played superheroes, were obviously giving Brandon Ralph, he's gonna it's it's the end of the show. So we we like to call it the playoff brackets. So this is gonna be Brandon

Ralph superhero movies playoff brackets. So we're excluding but excluding the Man of Steel. Excluding the Man of Steel. We don't we don't ever we just we don't ever like you to include. We don't even have to say why. All right, the guests, the guests, we don't like to include their own work. So we're gonna go through the brackets. So we're gonna start, Yes, So we're gonna start with the brackets. We're gonna go with the number one seed versus the number eight seeds. So at number one we

have iron Man versus the number eight seed. Gardens of the Galaxy. Who is moving on the first Ironman or just iron Man movies? Iron Man movies now let's say the first we went to the first as iron Man, which is arguably considered, you know, one of the best. I love Guardians. I have to go with I shouldn't that shouldn't be eight? Um, so can I take that up with the judges? It shouldn't be a but you can. You can definitely take them up. But I want with

the fans, but I want you. I want you to hear it, because the fans voted on this, but I want you to hear the other ones too, so you might change your mind. Guardians might be any do you want to do? Should we let Brandon know before so he has a moment to to to ponder this. Should we let him know the seeds first? We've never done that. We could do that. Hey, it's Brandon relth we can do this. We could do that, all right, protocol for me, So we'll go over the seeds just so you have

an idea. We just want to let you know, never done this before, first time ever. So number one, we have iron Man. Number two, we have Christian Bale's Dark Knight. Okay. Number three, we have Black Panther okay, number four, we have Wonder Woman Okay, number five, We have Captain America. Five is here. Uh wait, I'm pointing for you everyone, and I have right there. Oh we have five, We have Captain America. Number six, we have the Avengers. Oh wait, you know what. You wrote it down twice and this

is your right. Five is spider Man, six is the Avengers, seven is Captain America, and eight is Guardians of the Galaxy. That's where the seeding came from. Okay, just so you have perspective. But so between iron Man and Gardens the Galaxy, who's moving on? I guess? I guess I go with iron Man just because it's the one that started at all. Okay, and the one seed holds home court, and it's the one that started all because Superman Returns is not involved,

because Superman Returns is really the one that started all. Alright, so iron Man has advanced. Alright, alright, Brendan Ralph, guess wonder Woman's on there? The two seed verse, the seventh seed, The two seed is Dark Night Verse. Seventh seed Captain America, Captain America. Wow, what can we let's talk about let's talk about it? What what just happened? Brennan Ralph? Well, uh, you know, the Dark Knight Like, that's a great I guess that's probably my that's the first of the band movies. Yeah,

that was a second. Batman Begins was the first one. The Dark was one with, so I don't like number two anyway. Wait, wait, No two is Ledger The Dark Knights one with Heath Ledger, which we were talking about villains earlier in Brandon. I don't know your opinion, but my opinion is that that is the greatest villain villain acting job I've I've ever seen. I mean, I forgot that.

I was just thinking about, uh, well this is twofold now because you already gave an answer, this might have your life at this point, I think I think I still pick it, like if I'm going to watch it, like these are my my I'm gonna watch. I'm gonna watch Captain America before I'm gonna watch. There you go. This is Brandon Ralph. I like that and amazing in that. But as a this is post pandemic Brandon Ralph. He doesn't want to be in a dark place post That's

always the thing about Batman anyway for me. Yeah, alright, fair enough. Now we're gonna take a quick break in the seating and you are now going to do the hate Pal spelling B. We have a quick spelling bee while you think of these other movies. So I'm gonna give you and Jared a word. It's a spelling bee competition and uh you got We'll see who wins. Who's the better speller between you two. Yeah, I mean obviously I'm a world champion and this will definitely affect the

life g p A because it's it's it's spelling. So all right, are you guys ready? He has not told me I do not know the word brandon. By the way, I'm gonna have you want to go first? You want Jared to go first. I won't google it either. Okay, no, hands up? You want to go first, you want Jarry to go first? I'll go first. All right. The word for the Apal spelling B this week is appropriately it's kryptonite. Do you want me to use it in a sentence? Oh? Yeah,

I can do the origin origin. It comes from a planet. It comes from outside of the universe. Is the origin? You know the planet? And uh, I would say that Jared is my kryptonite. That would be me using it in a sentence. Jared is my kryptonite. So I'm gonna spell it, and he's just gonna say if it's right or not. No, no, you're gonna spell it, and then I'm gonna have him spell it, and then I will tell you who the winner is. Do you still want to go first or you want me to go first? Well?

I know how to spell it. You do know how to spell it? Well, look at the confidence. Look at the confidence. You know how to spell it. I'll spell it a ready all right, ready, okay, hopefully uh I have to write it down. So weird, he's he's feeling over, he feels the crowd. It's fourth quarter time. He was so cropt. He goes, oh, I know how to spell this. I got this. Everyone needs to see this, right, wow? I wish everyone could see that. Okay, k why are this is amazing? Oh oh no, that's a t okay.

I don't spell things like this. This is epic. Why are O P T O N I T E? Okay, that is good, Brandy, you look confused. You were so competent out of the gate. Devo's crying, right, I mean, I literally wiping game over over. No, go ahead, Jared, Now you spell kryptonite. I can use it in a sense. Again, Jared is my kryptonite. I mean I would have said I think we said the same thing. I would have

said K kryptone. Yeah, I would have said. I might have said K if he hadn't have done the Y so early, I might have said k R Y. Well, there's cryptocurrency now, I mean kryptonite. I'll do K y A I P T O N I T No, sir, No, that's the same thing that he just said. No, he didn't say that. He said K What what'd you brandon? Say it again? He doesn't know what he said. He's so confused. Yeah, because that's how I was having the confusion. Well, you changed it. You just changed it. What was it?

What was the one I I don't remember what you said K y R and then I didn't. I didn't change it back to k R, not not until right now. But because you're the guest, I'm gonna allow you to spell it one more time. Spell it one more time, Brendan Ralph's spelling crypto. I've typed it into the right. He was wrong initially, and I was wrong, and you were wrong. We both did. You were both wrong, and I'm devastated. I'm actually devastated, you know why, because I

can't spell it. I can't picture it in my head. If I write it down, I can picture, but I would not be good at spelling bees because trying to visualize it then I couldn't put it in the right or when I typed it in here, I typed it in right. All right, So both your guys g p as have been affected, are live, gps of gone. We're going to move on. This was a complete bus today. If it makes you feelingly better, be Ralph. I have lost to every guest in the spelling because Jared spelling

is not his skill set. But then again, that's why he's managing in RBS in Oklahoma. So let's move on to re seed versus six Z the bracket. We're going back to our three seed. The three seed is Black Panther versus the sixth seed Avengers. Who do you have? Uh? Black Panther versus who? Oh that's a tough matchup. Also, um, black Panthers amazing the technology all of it, but Avengers are like the whole team and the Avengers like for me is that's what I like most about all of it.

So it's everyone the team up all right, impressive. So we're down to iron Man, Captain America and Avengers and then the four seed verse five seed be Ralph. We've got wonder Woman at the four seed verse, the five seed the original spider Man, the Toby McGuire Spider Man. I really like that Spider Man, but the original wonder Woman is pretty it was pretty awesome. I have to go for one d C. So I'm gonna go for wonder Woman. Wonder Woman held court. Wonder Woman was the

was the four seed. Alright, So we have our finals now in our playoff movie seeds we have iron Man, Captain America, Avengers, and under Woman. So our first semi final, iron Man versus Captain America. H he's got a great profile, great profile. The guy's a model iron again iron Man, iron Man beating Captain America. Alright? One? Okay, So who will iron Man play in the b Ralph the Mr Brandon Ralph playoff bracket? Will it be the six seed Avengers or the four seed wonder Woman? The Aves iron

Man might have some competition. So we have a one versus a six. Here we go, all right, Davo, take us home. That's incredible. Alright. The championship, Mr Ralph, we have the number one Iron Man versus the number six Avengers. Who is your hey Pal champion? Well, I'm taking this as the Avengers as in, like all, I guess we're going. Really what we're doing is the Avengers, the first Avengers film.

But that may be the situation. So I may be a little bit off here because I'm going just with thinking of all the other Adventures films, um, but I'm still going to go with Avengers. That's six. I like, I like a teams in that. So yeah, that's true. I don't think we've ever seen a six beat. We've one. I mean, that's incredibly Here on the hay Peal Podcast with Brandon Ralph, do we get to see that? Amazing? There we go amazing? All right, And with that being said,

we're gonna do our last segment of the day. It's called the Haypal Penalty Box. I'm gonna ask you a series of questions. You just answer is quickly as possible as quickly rapid far. Are you ready, sir? Yes? All right? Favorite cereal? Oh I don't eat cereal anymore, but honey bunches of votes, honey bunch. That is that is a good Should we just end it right now?
