We are talking about Robert Redford and Paul Newman, Indy and The sun Dance Kid, another incredible film. I have a good story about Robert Redford. Do you want to
spill it right now? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, Okay. So my very first job here in LA was at a colorhouse in Santa Monica. It was and it still is. It's a twenty four hour facility and so sometimes like our shift started at three four in the morning, depending on like if we had people coming in from overseas or whatever. So it was this like a super super early shift. I was half asleep and directors, actors,
color color correction is basically the last step of any any project. And so there were famous people like all around, which got me real real used to like being around famous people who were just there to work and you know whatever. So like the star, I didn't get starstruck ever, and I'm like kind of not paying attention and cleaning up whatever, and I turn around and bump into the softest flannel over the most muscular, framed, solid body.
I bump into him and he catches me and it's fucking Robert Redford and he's just holding me because otherwise I would have fallen, you know. He's just holding me, and I was like, oh oh, I'm like, oh, I'm so sorry. And then I realized who it was and I was like, oh hi. He goes hello, is he just and he's still holding me and he goes hello, are you okay? And I go I am now? And then I remember and I was working and I was like, I'm can I can I help you? And he's like he's like,
I was just looking for the rest. Youant right over there had met cute, total meet cute, and I he was wearing he was doing jeans, cowboy boots and a red fucking flannel and it was the softest flannel. Oh my god, it was dreams. And that that was the most starstruck I had ever been in since I haven't I haven't been that starstruck since. That is incredible. That's good. That's a good, that's a good, like meet cute for sure. Also, that is like so Robert Redford to be
in that heroic moment in the right place. I know it was so very un brand for him, and that makes me even sadder that I didn't get. Yes, that deserves a splosh. He's disappointed in you. Yeah, sorry, Yeah. Question number four was from two thousand and four. A Korean American office worker and an Indian American stoner friend and bark on a quest to satisfy their desire for burgers.

get? I had that same answer word for word, same answer word for word. It is Harold and Kumar go to white Castle. Question number five was from nineteen eighty six. The relationship between a bassist for a British punk group and his girlfriend is portrayed in this Alex Cox directed film Kunal. What did you get for number five? I took a small guest here and I went with Bob and Judy rock out with their cocks out. Yes, Bob and Judy rock out with their cocks out? Marissa, did you put the
same thing I did? Actually, did you have anything or that of one mind? No, we're talking about the band The Sex Pistols and Sid Vicious. It's Sid and Nancy. Sid and Nancy is that film from nineteen eighty six with a very young Gary Oldman in the role of Sid Vicious for number five. So you got Sid and Nancy at home? Give yourselves a point.
Question. Number six is from two thousand and one. An English duke from eighteen seventy six played by Hugh Jackman is inadvertently dragged to modern day New York, where he falls for a plucky advertising executive played by Meg Ryan. Speaking of meet cutes, did these weird names or this weird movie all? Marissa? First of all, I just want to point out that I love when female characters are described as lucky, lucky, hilarious, oh man, worky, lucky, working, lucky. Only women by the way, yeah,
I described that way. I just went the Duke and I. Ooh, that's good. The Duke and Hi, Kunal, what did you put it? So? I was feeling an H name or a V name, so I went with Henry and VICKI hit it off. Henry and VICKI do not have their cocks out, but they hit it off with these They hit it off. They hit it off. It's less sexy than that. The film was just called Kate and Leopold Kate and Leopold, and we would have got that. Yeah, never seen it. I don't know if I will,
but that synopsis is pretty great. Question number seven This was I thought the tough one, even though it's most recent, because it's kind of an indie film from twenty twenty two. After particularly harsh winter, A man goes into a deep depression, completely isolated and with no one to talk to. He does what any sane person would do when faced with such a melancholic situation. He builds a robot. Kunal, what do you got for number seven?
I went with another education guess on this one, and I put Castaway, but with Ai asked with Ai, Marissa, what did you put for number seven? Absolutely nothing? Mike, Yeah, this is a tough one. But it's called Brian and Charles. Brian and Charles is this sad sad guy and his robot. I almost went with Frank and Sam, so I would have been wrong anyway. I would have maybe given you like a sixteenth of a point just forgetting like two dudes names. Yeah. Question number eight
from nineteen ninety one. Two best friends set out on an adventure, but it soon turns around to a terrifying escape from being hunted by the police as these two girls escape for the crimes they committed.

This is where Annie, our producer, is gonna come back here and throw up a one off question. I'll read it to the world. The three of us can have a little powwow, little discussion, figure out some possible answers, and then Annie will reveal the answer and some fun facts. So Annie, if you're ready to rock and roll,
let's throw up the final throw down question. I'll read it to everybody a couple times. Which Swedish king was known for eating himself to death? Oh, my god, good god, Mastard, which Swedish king was known for eating himself to death. My goodness. That's the way to go. That's the way to go. That is the way. I am curious, like, what was the food he chose to kill himself with? You know,
I believe it was Stakhem's. I think it was Stakehem. I am like super into a history YouTube channel right now, so I've been consuming a lot of like European royal history, and this has not come up. I'll tell you what I remembered this. Yeah, this is something I hope I won't soon forget, because this is an incredible question. Which Swedish king was known for eating himself to death? I just rewatched the movie seven and it
reminded me of that for gluttony button that's force fed till he explodes. Which Swedish king? Now, when I'm thinking of Swedish king, I'm thinking of names like Olof and stuff like that, and Hagar and kind of Viking type names. I think Olof is maybe one of the only ones I know that was a king of Sweden, So I'd go with that, But you guys have any other Swedish type names that you can throw out? Ikea? Was
there a king? Ikea? The only famous Swedish person I know I think is Swedish Chef from the Muppet. Literally, I'm trying to think of Swedish names and all of her, and that's the sound he made. As he ate himself to death. But I would bet his last name is scars Guard, because there's six million stars guards around these parts, so many, and they're taking all the roles, and they're taking our jobs, these Swedish scars
Guards. All right, Annie, put us out of our misery. Let's learn about this king that ate himself to death, all right, doolf, it is King Adolph Frederick. Let's learn about King Adolph Frederick. While preparing for Fat Tuesday in seventeen seventy one, so it wasn't a bajillion years ago. Seventeen seventy one, King Frederick ate a meal consisting of caviar, lobsters, sauerkraut, herring, and champagne. The legend is that he was a
fan of selma, which is a kind of Swedish cinnamon bun. He is said to have consumed fourteen helpings of or semla, not selma semla i dyslexia semla, which is a kind of Swedish cinnamon bun. He had fourteen helpings of those, and his official death was ruled from digestive problems, but there is some speculation if he was poisoned. Oh my God, King Adolph Frederick. Take it easy, I mean with those sticky buns. Yeah, after fourteen cinnamon buns, I think the mystery is solved. My friend, you
exploded, You ate yourself to death. You too. It was so great hanging with you, so happy to give to those charities and just yeah, congratulations on all the stuff you're doing. And yeah, I can't wait to hang in real life and wish you nothing but the best the rest of this year. Thank you, Thanks, thank you for having us.
