[@robertbranham90]

I was about 350 pounds in college. In my gym class we played dodgeball one day for fun. The winning team didn’t have to take the next test. Being very out of shape I hung back at the wall. Unfortunately I was the last player left on my team against two female players of the other team. I managed to get a ball. One girl had a ball and the other didn’t. I threw my ball as hard as I could. At that same moment the girl threw her ball. The ball I threw hit one of them and I caught the ball they threw in a double play. I couldn’t believe I outlasted everyone and won on a double play to get all my teammates out of that test. It was awesome

So the scene where they are launching the dodge balls through the machine, Justin Long really was taking them hits. He was concussed I believe. When it was Vince Vaughns turn he told them to turn it down cause it was whipping. Their response “Justin was taking them all day.” 😂😂

She was the first publicly-out lesbian athlete, hence the reference :)

Also her victory in 1973 against Bobby Riggs Nicknamed the "Battle of the sexes" Was regarded as one of key blows to the sexist stigma of women being inferior to men in tennis/sports Bobbby himself was out of his prime and was being used as a prop (he was actually a good sport about losing despite his sexist rhetoric) But the symbolic defeat of him even at 55yrs by King (who was 29) was a huge win for female equality in sports.

Ever since I saw Swingers when I was 17, I've loved Vince Vaughn. He is so good at smooth talking and making you believe him ... this is one of the movies I really like him in. It also makes it so much funnier that the girl is Ben Stiller's wife in real life. She played her part so well that you really believe she's disgusted with him. It is an awesome cast all around.

Good idea. That certainly makes more sense than some of the other crap they’ve added over the years. (Are they still doing the ribbon dancing nonsense they added awhile back? I haven’t paid attention in a great many years.) Dodgeball would be a perfect addition. I’m still 100% done with the Olympics, though. I was pretty much already sick of the whole thing before all of this year’s BS, and everything I’ve learned about this year’s Olympics put the final nail in the coffin for me. It’s nothing but a big corporate clown show at this point.

27:14 Goodman asked in Spanish, "Where is the library, Peter?"

[@SFOlson]

9:41 No, that isn’t the actor from Underworld, his name is Kevin Grevioux. This actor’s name is Jamal Duff. But I think it’s just a little bit ironic that Lance Armstrong shows up in a movie where people get disqualified for using steroids and beaver tranquilizers. If he had really wanted true victory, he would have needed to grab it by it’s haunches, and hump it into submission. And Instead of using steroids, I think he just needed someone throwing wrenches at him. 29:08 When I was in High School in the late nineties, right around the time Ted Kaczynsci was in the news, there was a girl in my school who had a bit of a unibrow, and the nickname she ended up getting was the unibrower. And as an adult in their early forties, I realize that it was a bit insensitive, even though she had an attitude that warranted a good nickname, but I can’t watch this movie without immediately thinking, “unibrower,” when they first introduce Fran.
