MMM: Breakfast Bites - Baseball Movies and Stereo Salesman

A Miller morning madhouse breakfast bite.

Small plates, big sarcasm.

A quintessential pancake is gonna hate that

well jen pancake's on here right now so she can her dad

used to play that song all the time it was one of his favorites

so a very specific playlist i play only when

driving to socks games too nice so today's today's breakfast bite our short

little version baseball movies because i've got a couple baseball movies i love

that are probably like people think i'm crazy for okay let's hear them um there's

a weird major league is my favorite one of all time. Yes.

I mean, without a doubt, and even Major League 2, it's an okay sequel.

It's got a couple more. Yeah, I mean. But Major League, the first one. You have no. No, no.

I like the Wesley Snipes. That's my, Willie Mays Hayes is my favorite. Say hey.

Willie Mays Hayes. He's driving that Volkswagen with a Rolls Royce grill on

it. It's fucking amazing.

Are you saying Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball? So this was on TV last night, Major League was?

When Brad and I got home from trivia, I just laid out on the couch watching

my favorite baseball movie. You never change it when it's on.

It kind of sucks on TV. It's what they call a remote dropper.

There's a few movies like, just stop.

But that part, Willie Mays Hayes. Oops.

Whoops. I will rewind that. What is it? Hit like Mays, run like Hayes? Yeah.

Or whatever. I don't know. You may run like Hayes, but you may hit like shit.

Well, you can always tell what

the season's going to be like based on the first hitter. Whoops. Oops.

But like, and just, you can't fuck with Joe Boo's rum. Oh my God.

It's very bad to steal Joe Boo's rum. For the times, that was all appropriate,

but the stereotypes are there.

Was there a Japanese player? That was in the sequel. The second one. Oh, okay. Yeah.

Yeah, because you always had to have the Japanese guy, black guy,

apparently a voodoo follower. Yep, power hitter. Dennis Haysbert.

The speedster Willie Mays Hayes who couldn't really play baseball you had the

prima donna and then the normal guy that was just a minor league,

catcher no Jake Taylor wasn't major catcher but at the time he was playing in

the Mexican way just old and had bad and Renee Russo in her prime still looking

quite tasty although I do fast forward through all of those scenes

I don't need it. You just need the baseball? I just need the baseball.

And give me some of the best. I don't know. The scene where he's sitting there

talking like, oh, I had total plans. I even had the woman picked out.

We were going to have two kids and they were going to swim the 200 meter individual

medley. And then the one guy is like, didn't you swim?

She's like, yeah. She's like, what about the 200 meter individual medley?

How about when they're in the restaurant, the fancy restaurant?

And he's got the cut-off jacket. They got chili dogs in here.

I mean, I don't know if... I mean, this isn't a movie, but Eastbound and Down

is by far my most favorite baseball-related entertainment with Danny McBride as Kenny Powers.

Very good one. And Will Ferrell as Ashley Schaefer, the owner of Ashley Schaefer BMW.

Make the boy watch. you.

I can feel it in my bones.

The Simpsons softball episode. Oh, my God. It's an all-time classic back when

the Simpsons were great.

Yes. But like I said, I've got some off-the-wall, like Mr. Baseball with Tom

Selleck. Oh, my God. I've actually never seen it.

Frank Thomas is in that. You've never seen it? Never seen it.

I've got a weird soft spot in my heart for that movie.

And weirdly, Tom Selleck could actually play some ball. Oh, yeah,

I read that, that he hit home runs.

Because he played on a couple spring training games, and he actually had a couple homers.

Him and Charlie Sheen, ironically. Yeah, because they said Charlie Sheen was

actually pitching in the high 80s. Yeah.

Kevin Costner, he actually, during Bull Durham, he had a couple homers because they were playing.

No, Charlie Sheen, even when he was doing all those rails and when he had the

tiger blood. No. He would go out and hit.

His dream was to be a baseball player, not an actor.

And he was pretty good. I don't know. He had the tiger blood.

So everyone gets hung up on Field of Dreams.

I'm kind of the same way. I like it. I've seen it one and a half times ever.

I've seen it, I don't know, probably five times. Not my thing.

Baseball movie arc. Timothy Busfield.

Allegations, however they may fall down. with his current situation.

Little Big League, another one of my favorites, because that came out when I was a kid.

Is that the one who, so, Pete Crow Armstrong, his mom was in a baseball movie.

He played someone's mom.

And I want to say it was Little Big League. It might have been.

The Little Big League was the one where he inherited the twins because his grandfather died. Yeah.

Angels in the outfield there's no fucking yeah i love that

man i hope i hope some little little some little

reindsdorf grandkid inherits

the white socks angels in the outfield was a little too disney cheesy for me

like that yeah that's i watch it oh yeah like that's that it's very like the

whole wing i'm like oh fuck off yeah yeah but i like danny glover's arc yeah

but um What was the other one with the kid?

It was a Cubs. Rookie of the Year. Rookie of the Year.

So I had one of the coldest jokes in my entire life. We were talking about that

movie, ironically, headed to opening day.

And we were talking about that movie, and someone said, oh, yeah,

that was really the start of the end of Gary Busey's career.

And I'm like, no, cocaine and motorcycles were the end of Gary Busey's career.

I mean, isn't he still alive? He's still alive, but he is batshit crazy.

Well, he's probably rich. But Rookie of the Year was Chet Stedman teaching Henry

Rowan Gardner, you have to, when you're pitching, you got to go to the have-to.

The what? The have-to. Where you need a pitch, you got to go to the have-to.

Also, so I haven't seen the natural in eons, but I mean, Robert Redford, I've...

I still love, I remember seeing in the drive-in a double feature,

Ghostbusters 2 and A League of Their Own back-to-back.

Nice combo. Yeah. I like it.

I mean, A League of Their Own, you can't. John Lovitz does not get enough credit

for his role in that movie. Fabulous.

He's the best five minutes. And then when Tom Hanks hits Still Will Angel in

the face with the glove is my exact opinion of children. Like, I wish I could just.

The joy oh john lovitz also doesn't get enough credit for beating up andy dick so.

So jerry are there any like deep i

love eight men out like i that's like a i know

it's a sad story but it's very you know

it's historical and it's was my favorite team the

white socks um major league

of course but that eastbound and down like i could watch that

a hundred times every episode it's such

a such a funny fucking so there's

a newer it's not baseball it's softball movie it's

with johnny knoxville called sweet dreams johnny knoxville so he plays a alcohol

or alcoholic in like a halfway house okay and like they rally around like this

softball tournament to where they have to like raise eighty thousand dollars

it's not a comedy it's a drama but it's serious.

It's heartwarming like he cleans up his life. It's decent if anyone wants to

watch it. It's on Prime right now. I'll do Little Knoxville.

He's actually a decent actor in this. He's not playing anything like his normal self.

It's a legit role, and he actually did a good job. Yeah, I've never hated anything I've seen him in.

I'm trying to think of other Babe Ruth movies. Was there like a Babe Ruth movie

of some sort? The Babe with John Goodman. Oh, I thought that was about the pig.

No. No, it was... Oh, not the Babe. The Babe.

Oh, okay. Got to confuse. Yeah, he was actually weirdly a good Babe Ruth.

Like at one point they show him with like two whores and

they're all drunk and he's like playing piano like he

was perfect that man can do anything john goodman one

of our best actors yeah um still alive i was gonna say rest in peace still very

much alive lost a lot of weight too i mean by the time this is out he could

be he could have passed well the way things have been going lately like the

ironic things i've like i've had a couple trivia i've said i've said people

dead before i'm in meetings like,

so you know Larry King.

He's talked about him I'm pretty sure 24 hours later he died,

so the minute that his name came out of my mouth and he died so we need somebody

knocked off just talk to well if I Jerry Pancake yeah so I hope that I've got

a list John Goodman doesn't die tonight no,

alright on that note I think that I can't think of any of the baseball movies,

but there's definitely... It's a whole genre.

When you really break... There's a ton of... Oh, Sandlot. 42.

Sandlot. How do we miss that? You're killing me, Smalls. There's so many baseball

movies when you really sit down and think about it. I cried so bad at that Sandlot.

For Love of the Game. There's another one we missed. Yeah.

I had posters on my wall of the Latin kid from Sandlot. Oh, such a crush on that boy.

Brendan Fraser was in that one with Albert Brooks, The Prospect, where he finds the guy.

There's so many. I wonder if there's baseball pornos.

Oh, I'm sure. Balls and strikes.

Doing her in the dugout. Although Jennifer Jason and me, anytime she's- I got to first base.

Anytime Jennifer Jason Lee is in anything Leslie and I both look at each other

And both look at her like Jennifer Jason Lee You little whore Getting railed

in the dugout Because it's also whenever we're Ron Johnson Stereo salesman Must

have been somebody's baby,

He had a nice 280Z He did

But anytime that song comes on we'll snap a photo

and send it to each other Jennifer Jason Lee you little whore I wish

that was still a job Stereo salesman I'd do that tomorrow

god damn ipods fucked up everything bad

news bear oh bad news the original because

the remake was shit walter matthew just not giving a fuck god you could do that

in the 70s people were drinking at baseball games it was a little league it

was an admirable attempt with billy bob thornton but it was just it never came

together it was not great he's too mean to kids he's great i mean I mean,

it was Bad Santa being a Little League coach is what it was.

Yeah, we've pretty much hit all the big ones. But there's a ton.

Yeah, but not all worth mentioning. No.
