Craig Carton (0:00)

My name is Jeff. Are you excited for the Ali G movie or no?

Chris McMonigle (0:05)

The Ali G movie?

Craig Carton (0:06)

Yeah.

No. You're not?

Chris McMonigle (0:09)

No.

Craig Carton (0:09)

You have no idea what it is?

Chris McMonigle (0:11)

I remember the Sasha Barrack Cohen character Ali G, right?

Craig Carton (0:15)

Yeah.

Chris McMonigle (0:16)

I remember the show, but no, I'm not interested in the movie.

Craig Carton (0:19)

I'm pumped for it, can't wait.

Yeah. That would be the next movie I see in the theaters.

Chris McMonigle (0:24)

Really?

Craig Carton (0:24)

Uh-huh. You don't like Ali G, the character? I think of all the characters you did, Ali G was the best character.

Chris McMonigle (0:30)

You did?

Craig Carton (0:30)

Yeah, it was my favorite character of all.

Chris McMonigle (0:32)

Yeah, I wasn't even that big of a, when Borat was sweeping the world.

Craig Carton (0:34)

Buyakasha.

Chris McMonigle (0:35)

I wasn't even that big of a Borat.

Craig Carton (0:36)

Borat was great, because he got all those dumbasses to do dumb things on camera unwittingly. Yeah. Buyakasha.

Chris McMonigle (0:44)

No, but that's his thing, he says Buyakasha.

Craig Carton (0:45)

Ali G.

Buyakasha. Yeah. You don't even know Ali G.

Big Mac (0:50)

I don't know him that well.

Chris McMonigle (0:51)

I know he wears the yellow jumpsuit.

Craig Carton (0:53)

You don't have to know him, but you're obviously not looking forward to him.

Big Mac (0:55)

I certainly don't have to.

Craig Carton (0:56)

Is there a movie coming out shortly that you do have an interest in seeing?

Chris McMonigle (1:00)

This weekend, we just saw Spider-Man, the most recent Spider-Man with the kids.

Big Mac (1:05)

I don't know.

Craig Carton (1:05)

That doesn't count. An adult, an adult movie.

Chris McMonigle (1:09)

I'm fascinated in what Digger could be.

Craig Carton (1:11)

Excuse you?

Chris McMonigle (1:12)

I'm fascinated with the movie Digger could be with Tom Cruise.

Craig Carton (1:16)

Digger?

Chris McMonigle (1:18)

You haven't seen the coming attraction for it?

Craig Carton (1:19)

I haven't even heard of it.

Chris McMonigle (1:20)

Really?

Craig Carton (1:21)

Yeah.

Chris McMonigle (1:21)

Yeah, no. It's a weird movie.

Craig Carton (1:23)

I did see he's doing a remake or a sequel to Days of Thunder, which I have zero interest in.

SPEAKER_6 (1:29)

What are you nuts?

Craig Carton (1:30)

Yeah, I don't need it.

Chris McMonigle (1:31)

Oh, I can't wait.

Craig Carton (1:32)

Cold Trickle?

Chris McMonigle (1:33)

Cold Trickle. The greatest driving movie of all time. Greatest Nascar movie of all time. Not that there's many, but...

Craig Carton (1:41)

I'd also push back on that.

Chris McMonigle (1:42)

What's better?

What's a better Nascar movie? What's a better race car driving movie?

Big Mac (1:48)

If I may...

Chris McMonigle (1:49)

Like, if you're going to say, like, you know, Fast and Furious, that's not really a race car movie.

Big Mac (1:52)

I was not going to say Fast and Furious.

Chris McMonigle (1:54)

If you're going to say, like, the French connection, because they have a great chase scene.

Big Mac (1:56)

No, I was not going to say the French connection.

Chris McMonigle (1:57)

That's a drug movie. If you're going to say, you know, well, I mean, yeah, but there's a famous car chase scene.

Big Mac (2:01)

I know, but that's...

Chris McMonigle (2:01)

Yeah, no. If you're going to say the chase with...

Big Mac (2:05)

No, I was not going to say the chase with Craig Carton. Christy Swanson and... Wow, not Christy Swanson. Yeah. Yeah. No. Yeah.

The chase? And what's his name?

Chris McMonigle (2:13)

What's his name? Isn't that what it's...

Big Mac (2:14)

Charlie Sheen?

Chris McMonigle (2:15)

Charlie Sheen and Christy Swanson.

Craig Carton (2:16)

It was a horrendous remake.

Chris McMonigle (2:19)

I don't know about that, but that's how I know the movie, The Chase.

Craig Carton (2:22)

You have to know the original The Chase.

Chris McMonigle (2:24)

No, it's with Charlie Sheen and Christy Swanson.

Big Mac (2:26)

It is not. Yes, that's a bad remake, OK?

Chris McMonigle (2:27)

And somehow they have one of the main cast session while he's driving.

Big Mac (2:30)

Which is fascinating, yes.

Aaron Berg (2:31)

It's very impressive.

Craig Carton (2:32)

You have to know about the chase.

Chris McMonigle (2:34)

She's fresh up to Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Big Mac (2:36)

Yeah, look at the cheater right there. Look, he's cheating right there.

Chris McMonigle (2:38)

Christy Swanson in her prime right there.

Craig Carton (2:40)

By the way, she was great, 100%.

Chris McMonigle (2:42)
