June Diane Raphael: 我对小圣的死感到非常难过。我觉得这部电影对他的死处理得很草率,没有给他应有的尊重。我希望看到更多关于他的故事,或者至少看到他的尸体。他的死本可以成为一个更强大的情感驱动力,但电影却草草了事,这让我很失望。我甚至觉得小圣的死是因为L和David的争吵造成的,这更让我觉得不公平。我希望他们能为小圣伸张正义,而不是仅仅为了赢得比赛而跳舞。 Paul Scheer: 我认为小圣的死是剧情发展的需要,是为了给主角们提供一个前进的动力。虽然他的死很悲惨,但它也让主角们更加团结,更加努力地去实现他们的梦想。我认为小圣的死是这部电影的一个重要转折点,它让这部电影更加深刻,更有意义。故事的听众需要一个死亡。 Jason Manzoukas: 我觉得小圣的死是这部电影中最令人难忘的部分之一。虽然他的死很悲惨,但它也让这部电影更加真实,更加感人。我认为小圣的死是这部电影的一个重要组成部分,它让这部电影更加深刻,更有意义。我们需要这样的牺牲。

Hello, people of all, people of the Lord. We are live in Los Angeles for You Got Served, a movie that came out in 2014.

And boy, oh boy, it set the world on fire. And honestly, it did. It opened up number one on Super Bowl weekend. Tagline, if you want respect, you gotta take it, I guess. All right, so IMDb describes this movie as, in order to achieve their dream of opening a recording studio, wait, no, IMDb, should really read my research, IMDb,

Well, I'm going to read what IMDB says. It's not true. In order to achieve their dream of opening a recording studio, two friends must win their city's dance contest, a fierce competition that pits them against a group of young, tough street dancers. That's all false. This is about two guys. Well, it's about two guys. It's about dance. It's about losing a drug dealer's money. But don't worry about that because it's really not that big of a deal.

And what it really comes down to is getting into a Lil' Kim video for $50,000. That's really what it's about. Man, IMDb is slacking. All right, so we are going to talk about all of this. We're going to talk about all the dancing. Is it good? Is it bad? I don't know. I don't even know how to judge it. I'm impressed by it, but we will talk about it all. But first, let me introduce my two co-hosts. Please welcome to the stage, Mr. Jason Manzoukas! What's up, jerks?

Let's go! All right! Wow! Jason, were you in the theater for You Got Served? Never seen this movie before today. Okay, I am a big Step Up fan. Huge Step Up fan. Huge! Huge Step Up fan. Step up, step up to the streets. I'm a huge Moose guy. I love Moose. I'm all in for Moose. Look, I want to go see this. Not many Moose fans.

Oh, okay. Step Up 3D is still one of the best theater experiences I've ever had. Agreed. Amazing. Agreed. But this is... Is that in Jackass 3D or the 3D movies that really work? It really... That's what it needs to be. Now, ladies and gentlemen, somebody else that can talk about 3D movies and dance, please welcome June Diane Raphael. Welcome, June. Hi, Paul. How are you? I'm well. Thank you so much for asking. Um...

You got served. Did you get served in the movie theater or did you see this for the first time? I saw it for the first time today. I cried. Whoa! I cried as well. When? When is there an opportunity? When? How about justice for Little Saint? When? How about justice for Little Saint, Paul? Little Saint. I was going to say tonight's episode is dedicated to Little Saint. I mean. R-I-P-S. Wow.

I mean, wow. This movie goes for it. They killed that kid off screen. And I thought... I needed to see a body. What? Show me a body or it didn't happen. You want to see that kid's body? Okay, now... Honestly, you put on those checkered Vans tonight, which I've never seen before. You skateboarded here. And you got some kind of energy over there.

You watched a teen movie. You got your teen sneaks on. I've never seen those before. Backstage, you called me lame. Bunch of lame-os over here. They don't know about youth culture. Now, look. Listen. Lil Saint came in the way he came out. You said, because we watched the beginning of the movie together, and you said, when Lil Saint came on screen, you said, he's going to die. And I was like...

And now I didn't even know you had seen the movie before. I never have. Oh, I thought you saw it in the theaters. So step up 3D. I'm sorry. So you said it so confidently and I was like, you're crazy. You're so crazy. Like they would never, they're going to make us think he died. They're going to make us think like something he's in peril. They'll never kill him. They did. Yeah.

At the very least, he'll get to do an incredible dance piece before he dies. I was waiting. Never got to see him do it. He just wants to get on the team, gets on the team, and then is murdered. And not only that. He doesn't even really get to, he's even officially on the team. He's officially on the team. They tell him, you're on the team. But he never gets to even go to practice. He doesn't get to even practice. He's shot off screen. Technically, never on the team.

I mean, he was told he would be on the team. This take is awful. This take, this is a villain's take. Why? What is that? I think you think that looks cool. It doesn't. That's not...

The audience will love it. You're young like me. You're young like me. Here's the next question. How come Paul was in a boot on tour? That's what's going to happen. You're going to hurt yourself. The craziest thing about Lil Saint's death too is that it was caused. Lil Saint's death was caused by the fallout between M. M? L. L. I knew it was close by.

Elle and David. And had they not been fighting, I mean, blood is on their hands. Yes. And that's so upsetting. And I just couldn't believe this dance movie did that. He went for a ride along. Yeah, he was supposed to be with them. But because Lil Saint's older brother, his like big, fake big brother, wasn't willing to fight with Elle, dance with Elle,

That's why Little Saint died. For anybody who hasn't seen the movie, Little Saint is max 11 years old, right? I would put him at 9 or 10. This is, okay, even younger. This is a child. He knew what he was getting into. You play with adults, you find out. They're not adults. They're teenagers. What are you talking about? I'm just saying, play with kids your own age, Little Saint.

Play with kids your own age. Now, all I wanted to see, though, was... All I wanted to see were those... When they ran to that hospital. This movie is shot in three sets. A basketball court inside Steve Harvey's house. You think that's Steve Harvey's house? Oh, yeah. It's his back house. It's in the back of his house where he's got a boxing ring and an airplane hanger? I got this old boxing ring. I guess you guys can dance in there.

when they run into that hospital, like, we need to see little Saint. He's family. They're like, really? And they're like, well, no. Technically, he's not. And they're like, well, yeah, because his family already left. He's dead. Yeah. Oh, man. They genuinely strung that out for so long. So long. Because, of course, we all knew little Saint was dead, right? I did not. No. I did not. I was like, they would never do that to us. You need a little Saint in the hospital, that guy. Damn.

Wow. This is rough. This is rough to watch. The thing is, that is what motivates them. They change the name of their team to Little Saint. They're doing it for Little Saint. But there's a part of me that's like, drop out.

Yeah. Drop out of competition. Not for $50,000. Lil Saint would have wanted them to dance. I guess maybe you're right. I do want to show. But also like, guys. This is some of the acting that's going on in the hospital scene. And he is really like, I really can't tell you guys this, but finally has to be like, okay, he is dead. He did break patient confidentiality here. Yeah. Oh, as they're walking out, you can see the doctor gets fired in the background. Yeah.

That's HIPAA law. You're out here, buddy. You're out. Look, I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but Tashaun died a few hours ago. What? A bullet pierced his lung and caused severe internal bleeding. We tried to contain it. We tried to revive him. He didn't come back. There's nothing more we could do. I'm so sorry. Bye-bye, Lil Thaint.

Do you have a picture of Little Saint? I wish. I wish Little Saint was the background there. I think that Little Saint should be the shirt. Just like in memory. I agree. Justice for Little Saint. I'm surprised you're on board for that.

Look, Little Saint to me is the reason why everything comes together, right? I think, you know, we needed a sacrifice like this. This is how great movies work, you know? He died so they could win. What do you mean we need a sacrifice like this? Who? Who needs this? Who did we sacrifice Little Saint to? The story listeners of America need a death to...

Oh, now we're leaning in. The story listeners of America? A lot of people say the storytellers. I'm just saying we never talk about the story listeners. Yeah, we don't talk about the story listeners nearly enough. I think you lost your goddamn mind. Yeah. I always worry when Paul puts on like a little flair. And that's what I see happening right now.

It's his shoes. Yeah, it's the shoes. I truly have never seen him in them. I looked out from backstage. I was like, are those what I think they are? Like, I feel like... Get ready. I'm joining a ska band after this show. Who's with me? I feel like Paul showed up in normal shoes, saw those backstage and was like, let me put these on. Yeah. Became possessed by like an evil ska person. Some sort of ska ghoul.

I was very emotionally moved by the Little Saint story. I fully agree. I was weeping. How could you get emotionally... Like, we didn't get to see anything. Okay, so you're saying... Do you think if we'd seen a child's body... What did you want to see? We would have been able to enjoy the dance sequence? All I wanted is this. I want this. All right, then. Oh, my God. We're here to see Little Saint. And then all of a sudden, you know, pushing like a small little gurney. Wait, you think...

You think the gurneys are smaller? You think they've got little gurneys? Little gurneys or little saints? I'll be honest with you, Paul. I mean, I don't think they got little gurneys.

I mean, I get what you're saying. Maybe they see them pulling the sheet up over Lil Saint's body. I did not mean that. But I think it's going to be on a normal-sized gurney, if I'm honest. I was like, oh, that, the movie is being really respectful, and I appreciate it. Oh, there's no way they could have, they could never have shown us dancing if they'd shown us a child's chorus. No, yeah. Full stop. We would have revolted. We would have rebelled against it.

Let me tell you who I was not expecting to see in this movie. Steve motherfucking Harvey. Oh yeah. When Steve Harvey comes out as Mr. Rad. Mr. Mr. Rad.

Steve Harvey, I was shocked. I was surprised. And I'm like, we need to get him in more movies. I love Steve Harvey. Agreed. There's something... When he's on screen, tell me you can't keep your eyes off of him. Tell me he doesn't comfort you. Just his presence, his way. I find him endlessly watchable. We have done... June and I have done Family Feud. I've done it twice. And the best part of Steve Harvey is...

him talking to the audience in between or when the commercial breaks are, which you don't even really have to take that much downtime. The show's not live, but he does it. And he's like, what do you got? And people are like, Steve, my son, he won't go to school. He's like, all right, let me tell you.

He knows the answer to everything. The only other person I've ever seen do that is Tom Cruise, where someone came up to Tom Cruise and was like, "Tom, I want to be a photographer." He's like, "All right, first of all, you got to get a Fuji, get a 35 millimeter lens, only shoot film. I want you to start doing ISO 800." I'm like, "What the fuck? How did you know about this?" And he did it for everybody back, no one asked him about acting. He's like, "Tom, I want to grow plants." He's like, "Okay."

If we're going to grow plants, we got to go with, you got to get a proper temperature. And it's like Steve Harvey did the same thing of family food. Well, I, what I was amazed by with Mr. Rad is that Mr. Rad, I get, he's sort of like the mayor of the neighborhood knows everybody has seen these kids grow up fine, fine, fine. And he's putting on these dance contests. He's putting on these dance contests and I guess putting up some money or I don't know if they're getting money at the door. First of all, why is he hanging around with all these kids?

I mean, everybody seems to be pretty cool with Mr. Rad, but I'm here to be like, everybody should, nobody, I'm sketched out by the adult who's like, okay, everybody. No. Let us do this on our own. Mr. Rad, first of all, I'm going to say it's Steve Harvey's house they're in, but they have a boxing ring set up, but it's not a boxing ring. It's a warehouse. It's a warehouse. So I guess they just need that for, to keep people at bay, but it's packed. I

I think Mr. Rad's taking money off the top. For sure. Because the only given, oh, 600 bucks. I'm looking around. It looks like, well, that's a, what's the entry price? What do you think? It's $20 at the door? I think it's 20 bucks at the door. Do you think he owns that space or do you think he just organizes it or they put it together? Like, what is it? Is everybody taking over a derelict space to host this in or is it his space? No, I think that's Mr. Rad's space. That's Mr. Rad's space.

That's a different space. No, no. They go to his space too. Oh, it's a different room. It has mirrors and stuff. Well, no. They have multiple... They are in multiple scenes. There's the ropes in one of the rooms. Okay. I think what happened is Mr. Rad got one of those cool stopwatches that you wear around his neck and he's like, hmm, what should I do with this?

Dance contest. I'll time it. Like that's what Mr. Rad seems to bring to the table. I felt like Mr. Rad, I did not think, I thought Mr. Rad had pure intentions. I think Mr. Rad is, you know, Mr. Rad for the people and knows that this is something that the community needs and is willing. I mean, I wish a lot of us would be more like Mr. Rad.

And offering something to our community, you know, just out of the goodness of our hearts. So I'm cool to just start judging children's dance contests. Okay, first of all, they're not children. Hey, hey. They're not children. Jason, he doesn't judge. He just holds the money in his hat. No, he doesn't judge. He's saying he's the arbiter. He's saying, who votes for these guys? I'm sorry, yes, yes. Yeah, because without him, there would be complete chaos. Well, but...

Aside from Lil Saints, I believe that most members of the crews are out of high school. Oh, yeah. These are adults. These are adults? Yes. Yeah. They're not going to school. One girl's working in the hospital. Well, she is about to go to Princeton. Okay. So she's at a high school. She's deferred and is going to community college. But I do think there is a... Wait, she's going to college currently? Okay. First of all...

Served. Served. Served. Served. Served. Served. Served. Served. I think she's currently, yeah, I think she's working at the hospital or somewhere and she's also going to college. This points to a weakness in the movie, I will say, even though I'm loathe to admit there are weaknesses in this movie. I don't know what anybody's up to.

I don't know what anybody's in this for other than the dancing and the money, I understand. But like the orange, I don't understand what it is. What's the animosity? Well, here's how I put it together. Actually, it was because of Princeton. And it's L's. M's. L's. L's.

It's Elle's younger sister. And she's going to, she just, she got accepted into Princeton. They can't afford the tuition. And so she's going to community college and trying to save up money to go. So he's clearly at least older than college aged. Yeah.

Okay, okay. And I think that a lot of the crew members are working day jobs, wanting to be professional dance crew members. Well, and that's the thing is, I didn't understand. It seemed so like local team versus local team, like the Orange County guys have challenged us, blah, blah, blah. So that when it blew up to be like, it's MTV is here. We're on. I was like, what?

I haven't seen this coming at all. There are certain things about the way information is doled out in this movie that is bizarre. Because they lose this dance. They lose their first dance. Yes. They win the first dance in the cold open. At the very opening, they win.

Do they? They've won everything until they battle the $5,000 guys, the Orange County guys. They lose to them. Okay, so... Because they steal their moves. I thought they lost their first dance. I thought they lost their first dance when they sleep over. Did they? No.

They're like undefeated. That's why they think they're so cocky because they're kind of undefeated. I guess where I was having an issue was they have their dance. They fall asleep watching videotapes and then they wake up the next morning and then the guy goes, hey, so I got sent this videotape. You want to come over and watch it? I was like,

You were just at his house. You didn't talk about this at all? Like, you went to the basketball court. You chatted. You went home. You slept there. And then you called him. Hey, I got this tape. Why didn't you talk about it? Like, no one ever gives out information at the right period. I don't think those scenes had been written yet. Probably. My guess is this was shot, like, catch as catch can.

That's what I think too because it really is like sometimes it's like these two are having a date during the day and this guy's in the middle of the night with a bag getting his ass kicked. I'm like, is it a different part of LA where it's nighttime and the time zone has changed?

Because it is confusing, and it's also confusing that Wade's crew, the main bad guys, challenge them via videotape, but then they also seem to be performing at Mr. Rad's regularly as well. Because they said,

Okay, the videotape, I agree, was strange because it made me feel like, because they kept also being like the guys from Orange County. So I was like, where are our guys? Where are David and Elle from? Because I was like, oh, they must be far away. They had to be sent a videotape. But then the Waves crew guys just showed up on their basketball court being like, okay, we're ready to do it tonight. Okay.

And I was like, whoa, wait, what? But that's a lot of this movie is like setting up the stakes of we've got this battle, we've got this competition and then being like, actually, it's tonight. Or I'm in a lot of trouble. I owe someone $50,000. I need to get it right away. And then that guy being like, you can have two weeks. And then Mr. Rad being like, I figured it out. Like stakes are both presented to us

then heightened and then taken away. Traditional entourage plotting, which is like the biggest problem that has presented itself. Okay, that's not a problem anymore. We're done. To that end...

if we're to believe the movie at face value, then everything takes place within that two weeks period. Has to. Wait, wait. His recovery from his broken leg? That's what I'm saying. Like, if he only has two weeks to pay it back, he does the full recovery, plus then doesn't that cast...

from the minute the movie starts, don't they know in two weeks is the MTV dance-off? No, they find that flyer midway through the movie. Oh, I know, but I mean, like, it's still two weeks. It's only two weeks away. I think everything is two weeks. It's like everything in L.A. is 15 minutes away. This movie is everything is about two weeks away because he is doing a full recovery, which seems to be a lot of arm work for a guy who has a broken leg. He's like, ugh!

But by the way, where's all this rain? Don't know. Where's all this rain? He is rehabbing in the rain. By the way, though, when we watch the scene where he's getting jumped, like they're kicking him in the head multiple times. They're kicking him in the side. I didn't see anything happen to his legs. Yeah. And that was the only thing. Okay, so you think El's faking his injuries? I'm just saying, knowing now. Your guys' takes are wild. No.

Knowing now how quickly he recovered, I'm like, something's up with that. Also, there's another movie within this movie that's a very good movie, and I wish we got to see it, and maybe we will. Is it Jack A's movie? No, it's... Love Jack A. It's what... I'd like to see that movie too, but it's the movie about what Steve Harvey did to...

to Maurice or whatever to absolve L of his debt to him. What happened? I think Mr. Rad killed him. Mr. Rad killed him? I think he's like, Mr. Rad is like, this guy, like he loves the community. He's like, this motherfucker, I got to take him out. And he brought his friend from the LAPD who's packing that serious seat. And they went in there and they were like, hey, I want to talk to you.

Bam! Bam! Bam! And then all of a sudden Lil' Saint came out. Bam! Wait, that's a good question. You think Mr. Rad killed Lil' Saint? We didn't see it happen. Now I'm on board because I do think Mr. Rad is a villain. Mr. Rad? Bam! Oh!

Wait, but that's a good question because, like, nobody really is seeking justice or answers for who killed Little Saint. No, that's over there. That's for after the MTV event. Maybe. Yeah, our priorities are dancing for the MTV event. Here's what I really appreciated. MTV is hosting it, but it's Lil' Kim. Here's what I really appreciated about the MTV event, which I was like, God, I wish you could have done this sooner. All the crews wore different colored tracksuits.

In the other dance sequences, I was like, that's why I didn't think they won the first one. Because it's all happening so quickly. We're cutting back and forth. The editing did the dancing a tremendous disservice. The editing in this movie is awful, specifically for the dancing. Well, I guess... It's all chopped up. A tepid applause. I'd rather not get any. Actually, don't. No. No.

I'm not looking for that. Guys, what the fuck? I mean, this is the issue. Like, I have watched dance movies. Okay. All right. All right. I've watched a lot of dance movies. Now...

I'll tell you this much. And I think I'm always like, whoa, this is amazing. Like when you watch Step Up or even Save the Lost Dance, whatever it is, Julia Stiles and 10 Things I Hate About You, I'm like, that's a great dance. Here I'm like, what's going on? How am I supposed to be feeling? Only when the guy levitated, I was like, oh shit, they brought magic into this? Well,

There's a couple of instances where you can tell, like, there's in the final battle, there's, like, our hero team has a whole thing that looks like they've choreographed it to be in slow-mo, so that it would look cool, like, as if they're moving in slow-mo. But they've not set up the cameras to capture that at all. So the cameras are catching it only in, it's terrible. Well, then there's also this idea, like, you slow.

stole our moves. Yeah. But it's like, well, we didn't know those moves, but we're also all seeing it right. Like they're performing publicly. It's not like, I don't know how you, well, I guess that's true, but also none of those moves were memorable. And that's the big problem with the movie is like, I, I love these dance crews. I watch, I follow a lot of them on Tik TOK. I, I love watching them. I think they're amazing. And I was like, I don't think they're good.

None of them. I don't think they're good. None of them. Nor did they get better. Do the Jaguars exist at this point in time? Not at 2004, I don't think. Oh, okay. But they never also got, and not even better, but they never showed us anything at the end that was at all different from what we saw in the first dance.

And every team's dancing was the same. Yeah. Like, the teams didn't have unique identities that I felt like were like, oh, this is this team's story. It was just different colored track suits. Yeah. Because even at one point I was like, oh, is it just going to be like, these are the white guys, the white guys are the bad guys in this? And I'm like, I'm fine with that. But then I'm like, well, they're just not white guys. There's a

They have a multiracial crew. They're just fronted by two white guys who... I'm like, man, was 2004 a rough time for white dudes with their hair and shit? I was like, what's going on, man? This is part of your it's hard to be a white guy thing. Yeah, I've heard this speech. And now you're trying to post-date this to 2004? I've heard this speech before.

All I'm saying was back in 2004, we could do things like make our hair spiky and look like vampires. Everyone looks like Stephen Dorff. When Oscar shows up, they've been talking about Oscar the whole movie. Hey, can you get your guy Oscar to come? Maybe Oscar can come. He doesn't compete anymore. He's a purist. Oscar shows up, walks around on his hands for one second, and that's it.

That's the thing. There are too many other dance characters. There's Oscar. There's Rico. There's Lil Saint's big brother. Maybe that's Rico. I don't know. But there's also the guy who defected from the other team. And none of them.

seem to be additive. Well, they're not. I feel like they are most of the people you just mentioned are the actors. So like the dancers to me are people that I feel like are not part of the main acting crew. So that's why I was like, who's that jump? That's cool. But where is that? Yeah, I've never seen that person before. No. The one thing that I was so confused by was... And how come Mr. Rad never dances?

Well, Mr. Rad does come out with semaphore flags at one point. All right, dance over. I'm like, you have boating flags now? Like...

I feel like Steve Harvey just wanted a prop and then I don't begrudge him yet. The other weird thing about Mr. Rad is that during the last scene where Elle's little sister is sitting with him and they're at the MTV competition, their semifinals, she's like, God, I really want to get David and Elle back together. He's like, they have to squash this. This is ridiculous. They have to squash this. And she's like, yeah, I know. Elle's so worried about the money. And he's like, oh, I fixed that. And she's like, you should tell them.

No. And he's like, no, I don't want to wreck the, they need that. The energy. I'm like, huh. The real problem between David and Elle is that Elle doesn't want David dating his sister.

And that's gross. It's not just the betrayal of you weren't there for me when we had to do this deal and I got beat up. It is part and parcel that you were with my sister and I don't want that. Can I ask a question about this? Is it because, I mean, are we to believe that they're also drug dealers or what are they doing in those big duffel bags? I don't think they're dealing. I felt like they were just moving drugs from place to place, which sounds like dealing.

But it seemed to me more just like a transportation. I think they are... They're couriers. They're delivery. But at one point he goes, this is a... He basically says, this is a big load. Can you handle it? He's like, I can handle it. It's like, well, is this a heavier bag? I think so. He's worried about the weight of the bag.

It was about 35 pounds. You could carry that 35. I could got the, cause it's backpacks. Maybe it's the value of it. Right. Okay. This is a big deal. And that's, isn't that the whole thing of like one more of these and we're done and like we're getting out or whatever. Well, yeah. And that's what I was like, but even, I don't know why that guy would need two kids to just drop bags across town. Like, it seems like kind of a waste of money. Like just get one of your guys to do it.

They are one of his guys. I think those kids are his guys. Are they his guys? Yeah. I think in this instance, yes. Well, they seem to be working a lot of freelance time. They're like, hey, you got anything for us to bring across the line? I mean, I don't think that there's a payroll or they're like W-9. Did you need to see them fill out like a W-9? What's going on? Well, I feel like they're trying to walk the line. You wanted them on 1099. I want them on 1099. I want to see if they're an S-Corp or whatever. I guess like what I want, but I guess my thought was,

They don't, I think they do a very, they're walking this fine line of saying, they're not always working for this guy, but when they need money, they'll work for this guy. Yeah. But dance is going to get them out. They're trying to, they're trying to, they are, their priorities are dancing, but they have to do this. So this is why he doesn't want him to date his sister. No, that has nothing to do with it. Yeah, he doesn't want to date his sister because he's a player.

Right. I think he's a little bit of a player, but also I think that L is weirdly possessive of his sister and it's really gross. But then the other guys, the other guy. Yeah, it's really gross. The other guys accused David of always pursuing the other women in their in their in their world. And they name a bunch of other women. You did it with this girl and that girl. And they seem to all be down on David.

But then it seems like the whole reason why he's mad at David is because he decided he was going to take that big giant load himself. I don't think. Okay. That's not. You want to rephrase that? No. He was like. People can clip it. He was going to say. That's editable, my friend. Let me take that giant load by myself. Okay. Wait a minute. Oh, God. It's getting worse. AI is going to have that.

I just felt like that was like, I feel like he was mad at him and like, I just felt like. But then at the end when he's like, that's how you're going to talk to your girl. And then they so hardcore make out in front of him. It was disgusting. That I was like, oh, don't do that either though. There was a lot of like very wide mouth kissing. Big open, big open mouth kisses. But I like when his grandma said, Elgin Barrett, Eugene Smith, the third.

It's like, wow, that's a big name. That is a fucking masterful name. The grandma's my favorite character. Absolutely. Her gout. Absolutely. Her everything. When she said, I've never heard this phrase before and I love it, she says, I diapered it so I can ask about it. I was like, fuck, that's a shirt. And honestly, I clocked that. I was like, yeah.

After the first dance contest, they win. And those two, there are two girls come up to them and be like, hey, we want to join the group. And they're great tomorrow at one o'clock practice or whatever. Do those girls ever join the group?

Where are those two girls? Those girls become the Dorfong golf girls. Remember where they put the feet down on the ground and they pull their sweatshirts over and they're like, we're little people dancing around. Yeah, they join the crew. That's fine. I thought I was going to see more of the two. It felt like we were setting up some sort of a love triangle or something. Nope. Here's what I said. I wrote down, don't say this because it won't work, but I am going to say it.

But villain Paul, he'll say anything. No, because it's so small. Like, obviously, this giant warehouse, there's so many people there. The minute the dance competition is over, it's deadly silent. Like, so silent. There's no noise. It's like it's a vacuum. It's like, do we need any sound design for this? No. Not people leaving, not a clink of a bottle, not a door open, not a... Nothing. Just...

In that movie, there's so many times where it's a giant crowd and it's like Steve Harvey in that stand is like, yeah, I took care of it. And there's people all around him. Silence.

I watched this movie watching it, and I was laughing my head off. Again, it wasn't going to work, but I needed to express it. One of my favorite things is when they get to the MTV, much of the third act is just this gigantic dance contest that is the MTV Lil' Kim Video Opportunity $50,000 prize, dot, dot, dot. And...

What's so funny is at certain points, Lala is just talking into the same camera that is otherwise being used to shoot the movie. Yeah.

That's right. So it's the same frame. It's like, here we are showing these people. And then it's like, hey, it's empty. Right into lens. I was like, whoa. We can't do this. We need another. This has to be established. Nope. No. We can't just have someone looking into lens with a microphone now. That's the camera that I use to look into the movie world. I don't want it looking back at me. I'm trying to jump out here. That's what we're saying. We're smooth.

We're talking about, that's like a, what you're saying is like that's the story hearer's lens, right? The story listener. You mean the story listeners of America? I couldn't remember what I said. Oh, I remember it. It's the story listeners of America. I unfortunately have complete recall of the last 40 minutes of my life.

So the story that you were, yeah, they really, they crossed the story listener's lens right there. And that's easy. That's what they need to do. I laughed so hard. During the semis at the big competition in the third act. Oh, I love this. I laughed so hard when David's crew, before he joined Els, when David's crew gets knocked out. The reason they get knocked out is because there's several falls. Yeah. Those falls. That happened.

And there are some, like, really elaborate jumps and moves. That's not how people are falling. People in that dance crew are falling just walking. Just, honestly, standing. I thought that someone was shot. So funny. I thought that someone was shot because they fell out of frame. I was like, whoa, what happened? Like...

not a they didn't get twisted up in a move they just simply fell walking backwards yep walking backwards for a reset stumbling it's not even falls people are just stumbling around there there are so many things in this movie that are that's beautiful and great but I also like again like what what do you mean beautiful and great here's

There's so many things in this movie that are beautiful and great, you just said. I'll tell you something. So many things. I'll tell you something that's beautiful and great. The grandma, when the grandma, when Elf first goes to see her and she's complaining about all of her stuff, the grandma brings out some orange juice for him and she pours him the smallest glass. I don't know if anyone else clocked it, but it's like this big.

It's a shot of orange juice. Well, but I think that that shot of orange juice is just to get you to this scene where you get the hot cocoa latte. Beautiful. To Els. You know what they say, hot chocolate make the pain go away. Who says that? Me. Anything that's hot and chocolate, girl, you know you can't go wrong. I can't believe Elgin put his hands on you. I would have took my shoe off and did damage. Things are so messed up, you think? And you know what?

You can stay here as long as you need to because you know you my girl, you know that I got you. Thanks, B. Okay, now I'm gonna get my makeup kit and we're gonna have a girls night. I like a coffee before a girls night. A hot cocoa coffee before a girls night. Did she say that was a mochaccino? She said it's a hot cocoa latte. Uh-oh.

The best part of that scene to me, and I don't know who wrote the movie, I didn't look up the writers, but it's so reeks of... John Patrick Stanley. It's so reeks of like... It's rewritten by Sorkin. It's so reeks of like late 90s, someone writing, a guy writing a script and they're like, what do girls do? Yeah. They like candles. I know they like candles to be cozy. Hot cocoa. Yep.

Big time. Big time. Like sitting also on the edge of a bed, drinking giant mugs of hot cocoa. Like you have all your conversations. Both of you sitting on the edge of a bed. Yeah, and then it's time to do each other's makeup. It's like he hit all of the things that girls do. Now, I will say this. They have the finale in the L.A. Convention Center.

in the lobby of the LA Convention Center. That's not a main area. They have put a couple of bleachers in the front hallway. Like, when you walk through the front door, like, this, that to me was like, this is really low rent. This is not, this is not, how big is this company? Well, and they also didn't have, correct me if I'm wrong, they didn't have Lil' Kim for the first shot of her, correct? Correct.

Sorry, what do you mean? When they were first introduced to Lil' Kim. Yeah, you don't see Lil' Kim yet. She's not at that judges table, I don't think. Well, that's not actually, she is the character of Lil' Kim, but that's not actually Lil' Kim. What? So the shots of her all from the side, we never get to see her face full on. I do not believe that, I believe that there was one day they didn't have Lil' Kim for whatever reason and they put someone else in there that was not Lil' Kim.

That was Lil' Kim's stand-in. Do you have that? Well, I have Lil' Kim. Do you have Lil' Kim's stand-in? Do you have Lil' Kim's... Do you have those shots? Do you have those shots of her at the judges' table when we first... Do you have those shots of Lil' Kim's stand-in from the side? We will get a Lil' Kim moment here. Whichever crew wins today, you're going to want to remember their faces because the next time you'll see them... Who's he? ...will be in Lil' Kim's hot new video. Choreographer. Oh, so she's there. That's not her. No.

That's not Lil' Kim? No. What's so funny about that is that right there, that's not Lil' Kim? I don't think so. Wow. Now what I love about this is she is... I love this theory. To Lil' Kim, if... Now I know that might be not Lil' Kim, but at least for the movie's reality, if that is Lil' Kim,

They introduce her and people act as if she's come out from behind a curtain. Yeah. Like she's been sitting at this table. She's just been sitting right there. Yeah. With her security. And then it's like. Will you rewind just a few frames from the, there is a, cause the. That's Lil' Kim. I don't know. Wait a minute. You're suspect of this Lil' Kim as well? Yeah. I don't know. I'm going to go in on they're all Lil' Kim.

It feels like it's the same shot, but they had two cameras together in one. Let's go back and see. Is she there? It's so small. She's not there there. Oh, yeah. She's there. Where is she? Okay, she's over there. Whoa. I'm having trouble. I don't understand the geography of the set. Is she all the way over there? Yeah.

This is, this is, we only have Lil' Kim for three hours, so we're going to put her off in the corner so we won't ever see her. What's, what's this about? What's over here? Like, why are there tall tables like they're going to get, like, there's waiter service? I'm so confused by the geography. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. 100% this is an ironing board.

These are folding tables, but that's an ironing board, right? No, it's the DJ. I see it now. But for a minute, I was like, whoa, whoa, what? Well, okay, so what I do like about this is this is a passionate movie, and there's that moment where they break out into a fight, you know, when they have that dance battle. That was not scripted.

That was real. The dancers were upset with each other for real in the $5,000 dance. And Steve Harvey did have to break it up. So that is a good reason why Mr. Rad needs to be around because these are actors in a movie. Hey, hey, stop. So yeah, they got a little upset because they felt like they were not allowing each other to do the best dancing. Even though that's scripted that they have to lose, I guess. Yes.

They had a hard time taking the fall there. And so, yeah. And thank God for Steve Harvey being there because it stopped at. Always. I mean, like, we're really, like, elevating Steve Harvey this episode to a God tier. Steve Harvey is the fucking best. I love Steve Harvey. I think Mr. Red shot Lil Saint. Look, if it was to take down that big guy, you got to do it. Oh, man. Wow. Think about it like this.

Those two kids, they get this money, they're going to... I mean, what's the end game of this, though, too, the dance crews? Like, I guess to be on America's Got Talent? I don't think... Maybe. I mean, that's the economics of the crew. It's hard, right? Because especially with, like,

the early competitions where they're just splitting $700 between 23 people. Like it's, nobody's walking home with a lot of money and it does seem like some of the sequences they do, they have to practice a lot. So those are hours they're putting in. Can I ask you about the economics of it though, June? Like, did you have an issue when those guys said, Hey, we'll put up the 5,000. I knew you were going to ask about this.

I knew you were going to ask about this. This is arguably what causes, doesn't this cause the defection that leads to their moves being able to be stolen because that guy who wants the equal split goes to the weight scheme? Still don't understand how the moves can be stolen when they're being performed publicly and that guy left. I'm assuming these were upcoming moves. Okay. Oh, so they were like

They're like banking, so in two months we'll be... These are the new moves. It's like when Zoolander's like, I'll one time reveal Magnum. It's like that. I just watched Zoolander, so I have a lot of Zoolander. It's just like that Zoolander. Just like it. Of course we all know. So what did they say? That Elle and David were going to take $1,500 off the top? They were going to take $3,000. $3,000 out of the $5,000? Yeah. That's a lot.

But they were putting up the full thousand. They were putting up the full 5,000. I thought it was a lot, but I also would have loved to have known about the hours they're putting in choreographing and then teaching and also any costs they have with rental space, etc.,

Yeah, who is the choreographer? Who's coming up with the moves? I don't know. And I do think they should be compensated. It doesn't seem like there is any hierarchy to be like, it's not like, oh, this is my crew. Wade is the head of his crew. Wade is definitely the head. You think? Well, they say Wade's crew. Oh, it is Wade's crew. Yeah, I guess so.

So, I mean, like, his is a monarchy, but, like, our guy's is a democracy, I guess. I don't think so, though. I mean, I think David and Elle are definitely the heads of the crew. I agree with them, yes. And I also think they're doing a lot of admin. Like, they're figuring out where to sign up. Well, Elle does all... Elle is really good at Excel. Like, he's doing all the spreadsheets and stuff like that on Excel. I'm so weirded out by how you're putting the emphasis on the X in Excel. Excel. Excel.

Excel. What is up with you, man? Excel. Excel. Excel. Excel. Excel. Excel. It's an Excel document. He's good with Excel. What? Like, honestly, what's up? I don't feel... I don't... I'm genuinely... Like, I don't feel safe.

All right, so let's go to the crowd. Let's see what they have to say. Let's go to the streets. Let's go. Street rules. Here we go, everybody.

All right, what's your name? What's your question? My name's Josh. I was thinking that maybe this might come for Jason and June. I don't think Lil Saint died. I think that it was like a cover-up, and because his family left early, his dad was one of them, and he took them and he abducted him. He got him on flight Oceanic 815, and that's why he ended up as Walt on Lost.

You know, it's funny. I actually did... By the way, that is Walt from Lost, yes. I did have questions about where that family was and how they were out of there so quickly. I think they were like, this kid, we need to get him out of here. So you think when he was released from the hospital, his body was already... And they go, look, if those kids fucking come, you tell them he's dead.

That's brutal. They're dumb. They won't Google anymore. You tell them they're dead, we're going to go to Australia or whatever. They'd have to go to Australia and be coming back, right? Yeah, so I guess they went to Australia for a bit and then they came. Yeah, so anyway, I like your theory that that is what happened with Walt. Okay, great. We finally get some more lost fanfic. Hi, how are you? Hi, I'm Doug. Hey, Doug. We're trying to figure out, my crew and I, what...

Wait, are you Doug's crew? Is this Doug's crew? Doug's crew over here. Doug's crew, everybody. What is the deal with the door?

in Elle's house. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. This is a great, yes. So describe this door a little bit. Well, at first I honestly thought it was like the Louisiana, what is that, flower? Like it looked like some, and then I was like, it's a Celtic symbol. There's some sort of symbol, cross-like symbol on the door. New Orleans Saints logo? But they're in Los Angeles. Exactly.

You can still be a Saints fan. I got a lot of friends that are Saints fans. Maybe they're from New Orleans. Maybe they're from New Orleans. Okay. I thought about, thank you for bringing it up, Doug, and your crew. Thanks to all of you. Because I thought about it quite a bit. And also, if you're here with a crew, please identify yourselves by a name. Decide what your crew's name is when Paul gets to you. All right. Yes. Hi. Hey.

Is it just me or are... Who the fuck are you? What's your name? What's your crew?

Pete and straight up straight up because I got my brother-in-law from Melbourne today. So is it just me or is it just whoever could win the dance-off? It's just if you have enough friends in the audience because it's all sound-based in the end. Absolutely. Yeah, you could absolutely rig this. First of all, no. No, no, no, you couldn't because they are fans of dance. They're willing to look.

Wade's crew won in enemy territory because people are like, you know what? I can't lie. They're better. How many shows do you think they're actually putting on that draw a crowd? They seem to do eight shows in two weeks. It seems like there's multiple crews. I think, Paul, you're just lobbying for the story listeners of America. Thank you.

Sorry, listeners of America. Does Mr. Rad make... Is this Mr. Rad's whole, like, job? Is he making a living at this? No. Why can't he just, like, bring joy to the community, Jason? Like, why can't he just be invested in the success of the youth? Okay, Mr. Rad, first of all, is... He is a obstetrician. Wait a minute. He is? That's what I got from it. Like...

He is delivering babies during the day, but he also has a flexible schedule because, you know, sometimes, oh shit, there's a, I gotta go, and then he'll leave. You don't have a flexible schedule as an obstetrician. Well, you kind of gotta, you know, you don't know when it's gonna happen. That's the definition of not having a flexible schedule. Here's what I'm saying.

He gets a beep. Oh, shit. Baby's coming. You guys got five minutes. And you can always... That's what you think is happening in the off-screen moments of this movie? You think Mr. Rad's getting beeped because he has to go deliver a baby? Yeah. No, you're wrong. All right. By the way, I thought... I mentioned this to you backstage, Jason, but I could not believe that we didn't get to see the Lil' Kim video. Yes. Yes.

I thought for sure that would be the credits. By the way, the little Kim video costs more than this movie. There's no way that this movie could finance a little Kim video. Like this is a, this is a low budget film. All right. Yes. Yes. Your question. Hi. Hi, I'm Alex. And this is the real OC crew. Ooh, the real OC crew. I had a question about, we're confused about the economics of,

They each had to put $5,000 in? No. Yeah. Wait, each? No, no, each team. Each team. Each team had to put in $5,000, but then they're only divvying up $5,000? What?

Well, I guess the 5,000 would go back. No, I think they're divvying up 10,000. No, they're not. She's right about that. They are divvying up 5,000, but the 5,000... No, they're not winning 10,000. They're winning back their 5,000. Whoa, wait, why?

Because... Oh, I bet Mr. Rad's taking a cut. No, it's like... Let me guess, Mr. Rad gets the other 5K? It's a battle for $5,000, but they have to put up $5,000 to win $5,000. What happens with the other $5,000? The $5,000 is going to go back to Elle and David. I put up $5,000. We battle. So if I get it from my grandma... Wait, it doesn't matter where it's coming from. It does a little. It does not... Paul? Paul?

The auspices of the $5,000 is irrelevant. Well, no, it is relevant because it's not coming from the whole crew. Right. Let me explain it. Let me give you the grandma analogy for it. If I get $5,000 from my grandma, she only gave him $1,500, but if I get $5,000 from her, then when I win the dance battle, I have to give back my grandma that $5,000. So now we have the $5,000 that we'll split.

Oh, I agree with you. Yeah. That is what's happening. That's why it's only 5,000 that they're splitting. I think it's 7,000 that the rest of the crew is splitting because aren't David and Elle taking 1,500 each? But wait. They're only winning. David and Elle are putting up 5,000 of their own combined money.

Which they are then saying like, hey, hey, as investors in this, like we deserve a much heavier cut. We took the risk. Yes. Right. Because the other crew is not putting up. I think that's fine. So the five thousand goes back and then they split that money and they keep a percentage that's a little bit higher. Quite a bit higher. Win ten thousand dollars.

No, they don't. No, they only win $5,000. They win $5,000. It's not a $10,000 battle. It's like we're going to challenge you for $5,000. It's a $5,000 buy-in. Right. Thank you. So that $5,000 goes back. You've got to pay back Grandma with the $5,000. Wait a minute. But if my team doesn't have a Grandma... Then you can't afford to play. You can't battle. I've got to have a Grandma? What if I...

grandmother. What if my grandmother's in law? Find one. Get married and get a grandma in law. Yeah, get a grandma in there. Sorry. No, it's okay. No, so it's like if everyone put, if you have a five crew, if you have five members in your crew and they each put in a thousand, you get back your thousand and then you also get a thousand. Yes. I can't believe we've discussed this for this long. Isn't that $10,000? Well, yes and no. It's not...

I guess if in your mind, audience, if you're saying, well, yes, I put in $5,000. I'm winning back my own money. I guess, yes, if you want to view it like you're winning back your own money, you're just getting back. It's like, what's the profit here? $5,000. Right. Yes. So the only thing they're going to win is $5,000. No, the prize is $10,000. $10,000.

think Mr. Rad advertising that is... Uh-oh. Wait. Now... Okay. Paul... Who will Paul be now? Who is this guy? No. Oh my gosh. This movie made me take off my shoes. Obviously we have opinions about this movie, but there are people out there with a different opinion. It is now time for Second Opinions.

Hi, I'm Jen. You got served, that's what it's called, and though it's focused on the cruise, I really want to shine a light on the one star who came through, got arthritis in her leg, and now she thinks she's got the gal. She is all our inspiration. She's the one who's showing out. Grandma!

She earned this movie five stars. We know she don't complain. Grandma, I need to borrow some money. Amazing. Give it up for Joelle. Great second opinions tonight.

Like I said, this movie was a bona fide hit. You know, the budget was $8 million. Wow! Opening weekend, it made $16 million, and it went on to gross domestically $40 million. Opened number one at the box office the week it came out. Paul, is this before or after Step Up, the first...

This is before. So this is, okay. Yeah, so 2004 is when it came out. The average rating on this is a 4.6 out of 5 stars. I don't disagree. 1900 total reviews, 83% are 5 stars, and here we go. Okay, this is from Exuma X. The title is Tight. A lot of people gave this movie a low rating because they said it lacked plot. I watch movies for entertainment.

I read books for plot. Story listeners of America have spoken. I was a street dancer myself from the dirty South. And although this movie is several years old and without the current moves and they are updated, it's still a cool look back at the past. They could have added more dancing.

and kicked up the effects a bit more, but it was slamming. Plus, Megan Good and Lil' Kim were very, very sexy. Five stars. Wow. I'm going to mispronounce this person's name, but here we go. Brenda Johnson writes in 2004. Which of those do you think you mispronounced? Well, no, it's going to come up here. Brenda Johnson is the writer, but she titles it, Michelle Mokinov is the best dancer in the movie.

I saw the movie with Michelle. She is one of the dancers that appears in the Big Bounce competition. She rocks. The first time I went to see a movie in the U.S., I'm from Argentina, was last January. And it was You Got Served. It's an amazing movie. I love how they act and, of course, how they dance. Everyone in this movie rocks.

And Michelle Molokov is the best dancer in the world. Five stars. Michelle Molokov is the best dancer in the world. Wow. I wish we knew who that was. Ling Ling writes, this movie is off the heezy. Forget about all them players who said this movie was sick of trash. This movie is my life rizzle. It's hella sweet dancing. Made me want to bust all over the place.

I mean, Paul, again, these can be clipped. These pieces can be used elsewhere. The story also had a well-developed plot, and all the characters were believable and intriguing. Home sizzle, get this movie dog. It's hot, peace, balla, and the title is Holla at Ya Boy. This person, just titled Amazon Customer Rights,

Yo, I hollered at my boy to pop one of these bad boys in for me the other day, and oh snap, this is some hot shit. The dancing is like, whoa, and the moves are like, insane. You, yo, you better pick up this DVD right away, because it's got the mad moves that are all up in your face, son. And the title is, Get Off the Hook. Wow.

Here it is. Now I'll tell you this much. Sequels. Yes, it had it. You Got Served. Beat the World. 2011. So almost like the very long delay. Yeah. That's quite, wow. Went straight to video. Six years later. But it was released in foreign territories.

But here's the thing that actually happened. The official dance tutorials from the film were released shortly after the movie's release on a tutorial DVD titled You Got Served, Take It to the Streets. The 1984 dance movie that was the main influence on You Got Served was break-in. The dancers for the film were divided into teams and rehearsed at Millennium Dance Studio and Debbie Allen's Dance Company. Uh,

And they basically kept them all separate to lend authenticity to their legendary dance battles. And yeah, so they brought in Simon Rugla, which sounds like a fake name, to bring in the underground... Who? Me? Simon? Simon Rugla? LAUGHTER

I'll be taking your daughter out tonight. My name is Simon. Simon Arugula? What we have here. I wanted to see, I think there is a, well, we don't need to watch the trailer for the second one. Yes, we do. All right. All right, here we go. Oh, I hope Lil Saint's ghost is in it. He's like, uh...

We got over 20 countries represented here tonight. It doesn't matter what language you speak, because the language of hip-hop is universal. We're going to be the first crew to bring free-run into hip-hop. It's crazy. If we want to win this competition, our moves got to be fresh. Parkour! I had the dream to do this, and that's all that matters. How hard is it to be on time? Since when do you speak for the crew? I just want to shake a hand to last year's champion. It's my pleasure. I also want you to get a chance to meet this year's champion.

We're gonna win this. I need you to stay focused. Don't always handle my business. She's our competition. Can you press pause for one second? That's a lot to follow. We could make sense of four. This movie had four. 40 crews. 40 crews. 40 crews, 10 minutes of dialogue. This movie, and it's six hours long. The only thing on my mind right now is winning. If you wanna step up, I'll school you right here. She's not going with you. You know dancing is our only way out.

I'll be honest. It looks so good. It looks great. It looks so much better. I love that. Yes, we got to do it. I would like to. I'm sorry, ma'am. I know you really don't want us to. No. No. No. Gross. Thoughts?

Oh, wow. I'm looking forward to this movie. The international movie. For me, there was just... I never thought I'd say this. Too much dancing.

There was too much dancing. There was too much dancing. Just too much lateral dancing. Every dancing seemed the same as the last. And each of the... They did not seem to get... The numbers in the choreography didn't get more complicated or complex. It didn't heighten to something so that at the end it felt, whoa, this is... It all felt, yes, the same. And all the teams had the same moves, it seemed like. I loved it.

That being said, I still loved it. I liked this movie too. I thought it was like, I wanted it to be dumber. Like in a way. How could it be dumber? What? You wanted so much from this movie. Like it gave you so much dumb.

I guess you're right. I mean, I found it completely enjoyable. I think that I like the side characters. I would like to see You Got Served Universe. You know, blow it out. We'll see a movie with Mr. Rad. Beautiful. Yeah, beautiful. We'll see all that sort of stuff. I think that would be great. I think the hospital should be the centerpiece. We call it You Got Served meets Grey's Anatomy. Interesting. Oh, wow.

But no, I recommend this movie. I recommend it. Oh, yeah. This is a blast. I mean, I will say Step Up, a better version of a dance crew movie. I love those movies. But this went down so smooth this afternoon. I loved it. I was down for it. All right. Well, thank you so much. Good night, everybody. You know what?

You might have gotten served, but don't beat yourself up about it. It happens to the best of us. By the way, speaking of the best of us, we're going to Canada. That's right. How Did This Get Made is going to be in Vancouver on July 12th at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. The movie is the 2001 Sylvester Stallone F1 movie, or maybe it's just a car racing movie. It's called Driven, and it's

It is beautiful. It is available to rent in Canada, so don't worry about that. You can get tickets by going to hdtgm.com. My book, Joyful Recollections of Trauma, is now out in paperback.

for you. Jason is continually on Taskmaster in one of the best seasons in recent memory. Oh my gosh, what I wouldn't give for me and Jason to host a Taskmaster here in the States would be...

an absolute dream. Now, if you're thinking about t-shirts, we did make one. It is the Story Listeners of America. It looks a little bit like an NPR logo. It's the United States with headphones on. You get that as a sticker, a mug, whatever you want. The Dashree will get you hooked up any way you want your merch. Check out all the merch from our tour. And a big thank you to everyone

Alright, we'll see you next time. Bye for now.
