00:00favorite segments. Garris will throw some categories at us. We've got to give you our
00:04most overrated and underrated item in said category. Welcoming onto the program now,
00:10everybody's favorite dad. Good afternoon, gentlemen. Let's start with, it's hot outside.
00:17It's a great day for ice cream. What's your overrated, underrated ice cream flavor?
00:22This will be tough for me. As you know, I only enjoy one ice cream flavor. Underrated.
00:25Mint chocolate chip does not get the respect it deserves. It's refreshing. It's light. It's
00:30tasty. It's got chocolate chips in it, and it is a fantastic treat. Overrated mint chocolate chip.
00:36People talk too much about mint chocolate chip. It's green. It's not white. It's minty. Some is
00:43green. There are green varieties. Thank you. It's green. It's minty. The chocolate chip is the
00:49redeeming quality. I don't want to taste mint while I'm eating ice cream. No, thank you.
00:53A mint chocolate chip. Overrated. Overrated. Plain chocolate. That is for children. That is for
00:58tiny children who don't understand that there's so much better out there. An unsophisticated
01:02palate who doesn't know anything is going to tell you that chocolate is a good flavor. It's not. It's
01:07not what good chocolate is. It's that store-bought artificial flavoring version of chocolate that a
01:14child thinks what chocolate tastes like. It's low class. It's pathetic. If anybody tells you at any
01:19time that chocolate's any good, you don't listen to anything else they say. Grant, what do you think?
01:23Underrated. Chocolate. Plain chocolate. It is the only ice cream flavor that matters. It is
01:29completely undervalued and underappreciated because of people like Danny saying the terrible and
01:35nefarious and incorrect pejoratives that he just laid out there. Funny thing that did happen the
01:40other day. So my wife, one of our biggest constant, I would call it a fight, but it's more just
01:45like a
01:46one-way street. It's like a nagging. So what is that? One of the things that you get like
01:50completely ridiculed about constantly. You get, yeah, what is that? I know exactly what you mean.
01:56I guess one of her pet peeves about me. I've got a list of a thousand. There you go. I've
01:58got a
01:58thousand, yeah. All she does is complain about how I only eat chocolate ice cream and I won't eat
02:02other types of ice cream. So she's poisoned the well. The other day I take my kid, after he gets
02:07his
02:07first extra base hit in baseball, to Cold Stone. It's supposed to be a celebratory moment for dad
02:12and son, right? And we're in the line and I order my chocolate and he's getting some kind of cotton
02:17candy or something terrible. And he says, hey dad, why do you only get chocolate ice cream when we go
02:22to the ice cream store? Look at this. And I was like, because I love chocolate, buddy. This is my
02:27favorite ice cream. And he's like, but there's so many other choices. Yes, there are. And I'm like,
02:31you're not coming up with this five-year-old. This is just something you've heard your mom complain
02:34about every single time we've ever been at an ice cream place. But the point of the dude's story is
02:38because it's just always there, it's the standard, it's the milk chocolate. Everyone wants to look
02:43for some wild color. What's blue? What's pink? What's green? Because that's so cool. No, there
02:49it is. Staring you in the face. The most delicious ice cream they have. Chocolate. It's like getting
02:54a, you know, when Dave Portnoy does pizza reviews, he doesn't order some kind of weird pizza. I'm
03:00going to try your cheese. Let's see how your chocolate ice cream is. Ice cream store. And then I'll
03:05know more about you. Underrated chocolate ice cream. What's your overrated and underrated
03:10sports movie? I'll go first on this one. So this is going to be unpopular and I can already
03:16see some people like hit me up Instagram DMs, Grant H. Paulson. I've never been able to get
03:22through this movie. I didn't watch it as an OG because it's older than me. And it's one of those
03:27where I just, when I watch it, I'm like, I'm sure this is great. I just can't. It's not for
03:32me.
03:32Okay. Slap Shot. The hockey movie. Yeah. It's a little dated, but it's great. I grew
03:38up on it, but I know what you're saying. I have never been able to get through the whole
03:42thing. Zero chance. Any of the three of our producers have ever seen Slap Shot. They
03:45don't know anything about it. I'm not even turning my head. But he doesn't see a movie.
03:49Toby's never seen anything before 1996. And I don't know about Strober, but I just assume
03:54Strober's never seen a movie because he works on our show. Like if you told him it was a documentary
03:57about the Maryland Terrapins, maybe you'd have a chance of watching it. Who loves Maryland more? Kevin
04:01Sheehan or Ben Strober? That's a good question. Ooh, we need to actually get them both on
04:06and like do a, do a competition of some kind. Although one of the two of them is bailing
04:10on Maryland in a big, big way. More as that develops. Strober, what, uh, what do you think
04:16about the movie Slap Shot? Did he say anything? I didn't hear him if he did. Exactly.
04:23Nothing. You were blocked by a computer. So the bit was good, but I thought I saw your mouth
04:29moving and I'm like, maybe his mic wasn't on. Maybe his mic's not on. All right. Good
04:32breakdown of Slap Shot. Thank you. That was like a Ryan explains it all. What happens
04:36in Slap Shot? Oh, there's these guys and they're just in it. Are you a Slap Shot guy
04:40though? Yeah. But I, I, I get it from a younger person's perspective. For anybody my age and
04:45older is going, what's the matter with you? That one, I've got some empathy on. I'm a Slap
04:49shot guy. I've had so many friends over the years that are like, dude, watch Slap Shot. And
04:51I've tried. I just, it just doesn't work for me. Right. Uh, you go overrated. Blindside.
04:56Great idea for a movie. It's a great idea. Great premise. Great story. It's not that
05:01good of a flick. Sorry. Wow. Sandra Bullock storming around with her Southern accent. You
05:06might want to watch this one. Michael, protect it like your family. Oh my God. If we're doing
05:11a Disney thing, then we can do a Disney thing, but we weren't doing a Disney thing. It's supposed
05:15to be hardcore. It's not that good of a flick. Again, the story is amazing. The story
05:20rules, the real story, the story that the movie covers the movie itself. It's a pedestrian
05:25film. Sorry about it. Underrated. Miracle. I'll stick with the hockey
05:34theme. It's underrated. I think so. Who doesn't recognize that it's awesome? I don't
05:39hear it brought up routinely when you're talking about the great sports movies ever. I think
05:44it's maybe top five. In fact, and maybe I'm part of the problem. I never
05:50think about miracle ever. And I watched it the night before the Team USA gold medal
05:55game with Canada in the Olympics this year. And I'm watching the movie with my wife and
06:00I looked over at her at one point and I'm like, this movie is phenomenal. I'm not talking
06:05about for a sports movie or, you know, for a Disney film or what it like this film, this
06:11movie is perfect. It is so well done. How, when's the last time you saw it a couple years
06:17ago? Great. Yeah. That should be a once every several months, kind of a rotation type movie
06:22for people. It's, I think it's a flawless movie. My underrated movie. This has jumped
06:27to one of the top ranked films for me in the, if it's on, I watch it. Like I'll jump
06:33in
06:33wherever I jump in and I just watch it to the conclusion. 2011's warrior and unbelievably
06:40good flick. That's Joel Edgerton. That's Tom Hardy. That's Frank Grillo. That's Nick Nolte
06:45playing the alcoholic father. The two brothers become a strange. They, one went with the
06:49mother, one with the father. The Tom Hardy's character, Tommy Conlon, all state, all world
06:55wrestler, special forces, dishonorable discharge. Didn't want the credit. It's a UFC MMA type
07:01movie, which general, I don't really care for anything UFC MMA, but it is wonderful. And
07:06Jennifer Morrison's in it, plays Tess Conlon, who is the wife of Joel Edgerton's character.
07:12As good an actor, she's are going to find very great at acting in that film, but warrior
07:17is awesome. I have not seen that movie probably since the theaters, maybe one or two times
07:24after a very good. I remember in theaters thinking it was really, really good. Came
07:31out at the same time, right around fighter, which was like a similar movie. Yeah. You
07:34remember that? Mark Wahlberg's movie, the fighter chronicle. Yeah. There was a little run.
07:37I don't think Christian Bale was in that. He was a little run on those type of, uh, you
07:41know, mixed martial arts, fighting movies, whatever that one was. So I dismissed it.
07:45I didn't see it in the theater. Cause that's like, Oh, we're just doing a, an MMA thing
07:48and that's it. It's not, it is a beautiful story. It's awesome. I'm not going to spoil
07:53anything if you haven't seen it, but that is an all timer overrated, underrated. You
07:57got five categories for you. Let's move on to round three here. Category number three.
08:01What is your overrated and underrated car feature? Overrated. Some people think this
08:07is some sort of weird status symbol. I don't know exactly what they're called, but those
08:10blinding led headlights, like you're not illuminating a city block. You're not illuminating, uh, uh,
08:18like a, uh, uh, archeological dig in the middle of the night in the wilderness. You can't see
08:23it's not special. The blinding led headlight that just bothers the oncoming cars. Maybe you
08:29have an SUV where you get some sort of extra feature for it and people can't see in the
08:33oncoming lanes. I hate those blinding led lights, overrated sunroofs. I will never use a sunroof
08:42ever. Never used it once. I've had it in many cars. I have it currently in my car. Now the
08:47other day, my kid was like, we open up the sunroof. It was, I think the first time I've
08:50ever done it in four years. I don't even think about it. Don't notice it. I'll never slide
08:55it open. I don't want natural light coming in. It's just warm. I'll never open it. Why do
08:59I need air on my hair? If I want that, I can open my window. You don't want the hair
09:02air? Well, I could just open my window. You can. I do not understand the value of a
09:06sunroof and it's used as a selling feature. It's like listed as the, you won't believe
09:09this, but you get a sunroof. Don't care even a little bit. Are we having a parade on Friday?
09:14Okay. We can drive my car and Toby can stand outside of the sunroof. That's the only reason
09:18you would ever need a sunroof. I think they're very overrated. Underrated. I don't know when
09:22they started doing this on cars, but it's fantastic. The blind spot monitoring light
09:28big, that little orange light that goes off. So you don't even really have to check. You
09:32don't even turn your head, dude. There's a, there's a car right there that that orange
09:37lights on. It's bright enough to see. It's easy to see out of your peripheral. You can
09:41start to do your head turn for a lane change. You know, right away before you even turn your
09:45head, you can't go. That blind spot monitoring innovation is fantastic. Seat warmers. When you,
09:52or coolers, I guess, but I, those are a little less fancy pants, a little less common. Uh,
09:57I don't have cars that have seat coolers. Okay. If you got one of those, just know you're
10:00living the good life, but a seat warmer. So we had that in the wife's car. I've got
10:06it in my car. Does the minivan have it? Does not have a seat warmer. What? Although, you
10:09know what? I can't say that. I have not sat in the driver's seat, nor has it been cool
10:13enough to need the seat warmer or hot enough. I should know. No, cool enough. That was
10:17the warmer. Yeah. Uh, so I don't know, but I'm assuming not, I'm not sure.
10:22It's a minivan's hot enough. Come on. Having fun. Seat warmers. Seat warmers. Keep that
10:27butt warm when it's cold outside. It's a real game changer. Oh, those are awesome. Especially
10:30as you said, in the frigid wintertime, those are aces. You hop into your car, you already
10:34got the warmer going. You start just heating up those buttocks till they're a little bit
10:38hot. Perfect. Overrated and underrated candy. Any kind of candy bar. You know, I've long had
10:46this stance on the show that's bothered Danny, but I'm not a candy bar guy. I like
10:50Kit Kat. That's the closest I would do to a candy bar, but like you could name a hundred
10:55types. I've never really enjoyed any of them or had any of them in my rotation. They're
11:00all overrated to me. I could die not eating another one. No problem. In fact, I will die
11:05not eating another one because I've never eaten any of them. Again, insanity. Overrated candy
11:10more than Mike and Ike. What are you? What am I supposed to do? I can get that same weird
11:16chewiness with a good and plenty or a Swedish fish. I can get a lot out of you that I
11:21could
11:21get from a Skittle. I could get it from a million different outlets that are frankly
11:24tastier. I don't know what you are, Mike and Ike, and what do you insist on trying to
11:28be? I don't like you. Underrated Twizzlers. I love Twizzlers. They get a bad rap. Everyone
11:36likes to pretend like Twizzlers don't slap them in the face. They're good, man. Go to
11:42a movie theater. Not a red vine with your nubs. A Twizzler. Wrap it around a kernel of popcorn.
11:48Have it with a nice cola. It's perfect. Do you want better? Bite both ends of the Twizzler
11:53off and stick it right in that cola as your straw. It's paradise. I love a Twizzler, man.
11:57It's lippin', man. Red Twizzlers only. I'm not like a black licorice or whatever guy.
12:02But the red Twizzler. Very good. It's plasticky. No, it isn't. Fine. Give me yours.
12:09Yeah. If it's plastic, I'll take yours. Tell you what. You're right. Hand it on over.
12:13Take that off your hands for you. Underrated. The Take 5. The Reese's Take 5. Can I interest
12:21you in pretzels, peanut butter, peanuts, caramel, nacho. This is for the regular people. You
12:26cannot. I know you can't. I'll have yours again. Caramel and some chocolate on the outside.
12:30It's sweet. It's salty. And it's delicious. It's got a little crunch to it as well. The
12:35Take 5 is as good a candy bar as you will find anywhere. And you can never find it. It's
12:41always dominated by Nestle Crunches or Three Musketeers Bars. And I'm not besperging those.
12:45I never would. They're delicious and they're filled with hope. The Take 5 is amazing and
12:50it needs a bigger market share. Whoever's in charge of bringing the Take 5 to you and me is
12:54doing a piss poor job of it, quite frankly. I need more Take 5s in my life. Thank you.
12:59Last one. You're overrated and underrated D.C. tourist attraction. Overrated. And I hate
13:06to do this because it's a big one. You can see it from everywhere. The Washington Monument.
13:11Guy, we finally agreed. It's a big old pencil. Round 5. It's neat. It's an obelisk and there's
13:16some cool history behind it. It takes 7 seconds to learn. It's 555 feet tall. You can't build
13:20anything above it. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I told you everything you need to
13:23know. You can see it from far away. You don't have to see it up close. This is my big
13:26takeaway.
13:27And my thought on this has always been, the closer you get, it doesn't get more interesting.
13:32The mall itself is fine. Go down to the mall, walk around. That's pretty amazing.
13:35But the people that like, I have buddies that were in town for 24 hours and said,
13:39we got to go to the monument. I'm like, go to these places. The monument, it's just,
13:44when you get up close enough to it, it's just a wall. The color of the monument. And then
13:49it goes up high and you can kind of look up. But you could see that and get better pictures
13:53from a little further away. Yeah. It's neat to drive past it on, you know, Ohio Drive or
13:58Independence or Constitution. It's cool to see. I got nothing wrong with it. When it's lit up at
14:02night, it's kind of cool from far away. But up close, grinding to the top of it is terrifying and
14:07awful. It's a thousand degrees in there. No. I don't know if you agree with this or not,
14:10because I want to be clear about this. Let me be clear. The monument, when you're driving to your
14:17point or just like seeing the monument around DC, I do get excited for that and, you know,
14:24take some pride in it. Like, it's a very DC thing. I'm just saying, you're saying tourist
14:29attraction, meaning you're coming to the city, you're going to visit something. It's the visiting
14:33part that I find to be not worth your time. That's where I'm at. I've also, I've never been up
14:38in it,
14:39but that seems like it would be terrible. I did it and it's terrible. Are you taking a lot of
14:42steps?
14:42Is it a little car? Am I getting stuck? Maybe there's AC now, but AC Slater. But when I did
14:47it, there wasn't. When I was a kid, when we all did the deal and it's like, you're there and
14:50you're
14:50downtown and we go to school in DC, we got to go see it. You get to the top of
14:54it. The view is fine.
14:55You can look out of a Cyclops' islet right up there up top and see, you know, in one direction
15:00or
15:00another. It's just not that special. We should do a show from the monument. The Grant and Danny show
15:05this summer, just from random little places around DC. That could be fun. Underrated?
15:11The mansion on O Street. It's got something for everybody. It's the secret door mansion. It's
15:17got all these weird extravagant rooms. It looks like it's like a page taken out of Louis XIV in
15:23Versailles. It's got all sorts of different traps and different cool things. The museum's got something
15:29for everybody. You can take kids there. Adults can have fun there. It's walkable. It's right in the
15:32heart of Georgetown. The mansion on O Street. I like that. I'll go with
15:41underrated. I don't know how underrated it is, but it's my favorite. I don't know if it's the
15:45number one on the list. I think the Lincoln Memorial is awesome. Anytime I go there, I'm
15:49always like, this place. Every time. Rocks. Yes, it does. Big Lincoln Memorial guy. Hard to screw
15:53up one of the beautiful monuments in DC, though. That one's gorgeous. I mean, that one in the
15:58Jefferson vibe to me for number one. Jefferson's got the advantage of being right there on the
16:02water, almost kind of on an island. It's pretty nice. But Lincoln's got the steps, reflecting
16:05pool right there, the Lincoln rules. Grant and Danny on the fan. Remember, coming up at four,
16:10a little over a half hour from right now on the show today, we've got the hitting coach of the
16:15best lineup in all of baseball, the Washington National.
