The Not Sports Report-Muppet Report

Something strange happened last Friday, the PSP crew got together to record a podcast that Greg wanted to start with a bad joke about Kermit the Frog being "romantic". The subsequent 20 minute conversation sparked by this idea will either leave you laughing or nauseous, depending on your level of morality and maturity. Enjoy. Be warned this one is NOT for the kids, sorry.

The Not Sports Report - 4/2/2009

It is still technically Thursday, so this isn't late. On this week's episode of The Not Sports Report, we mostly discuss Paul's man crush on Paul Rudd. Paul also ruins the movie Knowing for anyone interested. We also cover other man crushes, Greg's inability to like anything and our new favorite character of all time, Kuzzick, ruler of Xanthia. Have a listen for yourself:

See some more Not Sports Report hilarity by reading the full post.

We start out by talking about Role Models and how Paul Rudd tends to play the same hilarious character in every single movie, which is basically a sarcastic prick.



I'm gonna throw you in my Delorean and gun it to 88...(language a bit Not Safe For Work...but really who cares)



Actually, he does have some diversity in his roles. Here, he is a sarcastic prick AND he fights a giant murdering robot somewhere in Hong Kong...I shit you not. It's a long clip, so skip to about 6:30 to see the good stuff.



And I leave you with a trifecta of clips of Kuzzick, ruler of Xanthia. We touched on Joe Lo Truglia's character from Role Models and how over the top and hilarious he was. See for yourself.

Let's start with one of the funnier clips in Wrestlemania history, coming from IV, Andre gives it to Mr. Baseball:


From there we'll take you to the first midget wrestler squashing in Wrestlemania history, from III, King Kong bundy goes ape sh!t and destroys Little Beaver (Yes, his name is Little Beaver!). Anyway, the clip shows the entire match, which was Bundy and two midgets versus HillBilly Jim and two midgets. If you want to skip to the good stuff, forward to 7:00. Bob Uecker has a dynamite line about Little Beaver and then the squashing begins!



Alright, now to top that off we're going to need to see Bart Gunn get destroyed by ButterBean from Wrestlemania 15. In the words of Smokey from Friday, "You Got Knocked the F*** Out!



Now you can't have a Wrestlemania discussion without taking a brief break from the funny stuff and acknowledging The Undertaker's impressive undefeated streak. So check out a tribute video:



Not bad at all, however, let's get back to the funny stuff. What's better than another midget wrestler getting pummeled? I give you Mr. Kennedy manhandling Hornswoggle at Wrestlemania 23. This clip shows a bunch of Kennedy highlights from his MITB match, but if you're in a hurry, forward to 1:30 of the video for the good stuff.



Our trip down memory lane will have to end at this point, so check out this last clip, a brief compilation of some of the most memorable moments in Wrestlemania history that doesn't include Bart Gunn or midgets. Enjoy.

Not Sports Report Delayed

To all the devoted listeners of The Not Sports Report Podcast who were expecting it to be posted today, I have a bit of bad news. It has been delayed until Sunday due to some technical difficulties. Fear not though, as you will get a double dose this week, with one podcast Sunday and another Thursday.

The Not Sports Report - 3/19/09

This week's Not Sports Report starts off with a WWE-Style introduction. After the roaring crowd calms down a bit, we dig into the topics of the day, including movies that make men choke up (not me, I don't cry), Dr. Manhattan's man meat, which actor would be considered the actor of our generation, and a banjo contest. Yes, you read that right, me and Paul have a good ole fashioned banjo duel.

The podcast starts off with Greg reminiscing about Wrestlemania 7 and how it choked him up a bit. As you can tell from the video below, Macho Man and Miss Elisabeth were soul mates...that is until Lex Luger killed her by hitting her with a running forearm to the head. Or maybe it was the drugs, I'm not sure.



Anyways, this got us talking about scenes in movies that choke us up a bit. I brought up the scene in Remember the Titans right after Bertier gets paralyzed. Paul admitted Armageddon gets him every time. I'm not sure one is any less manly than the other...but come on...Armageddon!!



For some reason me and Paul had a banjo duel. One day our banjo playing will bring peace to the world. Until then, I give you Stewart Gilligan Griffin and the Cowtones.




We here at the Not Sports Report are known to talk about male full frontal nudity in movies. Well, the new comic book flick Watchmen is apparently full of big blue man meat. We don't have movie footage, but there is some leaked video footage of the new Watchmen video game I managed to get my hands on. Looks...interesting.



We end the podcast with a discussion of which actor we think would be considered the actor of our generation. It's either Tom Hanks or Johnny Depp in our opinions, though we are 2-1 in favor of Hanks. Both are really good. No way Johnny Depp could pull off this role though...




We will see you next Thursday for another Not Sports Report.

The "Not Sports Report" PodCast Is Available

The Not Sports Report PodCast for March 12, 2009 is Now Available. This weeks podcast gets off to a much smoother start and will not require you to turn the volume on your computer down to '1'. The old Nintendo Entertainment System is the main topic of the week, which leads into a grueling competition of "Identify the Nintendo Theme Song" between Paul and Steve. Throughout the competition we also get into other conversations as we cover great movie cameos, the difference between "crotching" and crouching, and Intellivision. In the process, Duck takes a trip down memory lane and talks about his old high school buddy, Ninja Guy Dan. Not to mention, we once again bring further comparisons between E.T. and Jesus to the publics attention. This and a whole lot more in this weeks Not Sports Report!

The 'Not Sports Report'; Shaken not Stirred

Did you listen to the 'Not Sports Report' Podcast and think, "Geez, I wish there was more?" Are you the type, like our never forgotten pal, Pat Morita, who needs visual stimulation in order to enhance any great situation? Well then you, my friend, are in luck. Let me start by assuring you that your initial assessment was correct, the inaugural 'Not Sports Report' Podcast was hilarious. But maybe, just maybe, some of the jokes went over your head. Perhaps you were a little tired, perhaps you just couldn't make it past the 120 db intro provided by Paul. No matter the circumstance, we have you covered. The A.V. Department (they get all the chicks) at PhillySportsPost.com have provided us with visual aides, along with a brief play by play, to enhance your Podcasting experience. Continue on for the ride of your life!

The PodCast quickly got rolling, as Greg discussed a deleted scene from Shawshank Redemption that shows that Andy had actually dug two holes in his cell; his escape tunnel and a glory hole to Red's cell. After taking a look at this unreleased trailer, the deleted scene that is discussed in the Podcast doesn't come as such a surprise.




The conversation then turns to Morgan Freeman and Samuel L. Jackson being typecast. Morgan Freeman as the intelligent, mentor type.

After a brief discussion about the curious relationships between Rocky and Apollo & Paul Walker and Tyrese, there is a quick discussion about how bad The Thin Red Line and The Ginger Dead Man really are and then the conversation turns to the Best-Worst Movies. These movies include, 80s cult hit, Rad, with its "Bicycle Boogie" scene, set to Send Me An Angel:





And of course Greg's pick, Switchblade Sisters, which features this dynamic fight scene, along with complimentary great acting:





We then get to listen to Duck try to come up with his favorite Bad-Good movie and blow the lid off of a HUGE conspiracy...ET may in fact be Jesus. The discussion turns to great 80s fight scenes (Duck brings up The Matrix (yeah, I don't know either)) but Greg saves the day by talking about Roddy Piper's fantastic movie, They Live, which may have one of the greatest movies lines of all time in it:





As if we were ever able to stay on point, the Podcast rumbles on through some more intriguing conversation including Hank Baskett/Kendra talk, more Rocky and The Princess Bride.

All in all, the inaugural 'Not Sports Report' Podcast was a lesson in how to produce a show if your target audience has ADD. Hopefully the A.V. additions helped you realize how hysterical this Podcast really was and we'll catch you next week! Now we leave you with one last word from Morgan Freeman:

The "Not Sports Report" Podcast Preview

On this weeks inaugural "Not Sports Report" Podcast,which will be posted this Thursday and all Thursdays to follow, we'll be addressing some of the most compelling issues faced by society today. One of those issues: Movies for Men that unintentionally depict moments of men loving men!

For example, let's discuss Philadelphia's favorite son, the Italian Stallion himself. Rocky Balboa is the most identifiable sports figure in Philadelphia. Rocky's story was the greatest underdog story of our time. Personally, I love all of the Rocky movies (well maybe not Rocky V, which was pretty awful), but overall I think they're great set of movies. The A&E marathons are tremendous. But, there is an "incident" in Rocky III that leaves the viewer a bit puzzled. Let me put it this way: 2 men, 2 tiny pairs of gym shorts, 1 set of sweaty hugs in an otherwise calm ocean. Take a look:







For more details on this and other interesting issues, listen to the Philly Sports Posts weekly "Not Sports Report" Podcast each and every Thursday.

Not Sports Report 2/22/09

Well, we talked a lot about Weekend at Bernies for some reason. As mentioned on the podcast, here is Terry Kiser's IMDB Profile.

Terry Kiser's profile

This guy hasn't appeared in anything since 2001....so he may actually be dead. Who knows.

I tried to find the Bernie Parent audio clip of the Dr. Pistone commercial. Unfortunately I came up empty handed. I am actually quite disappointed in Youtube. Instead, I found this.







And for those interested, the ultimate collection of Chuck Norris facts. This site actually has customizeable Chuck Norris T-shirts! I also tried to verify Paul's claim about Chuck Norris hating Sly Stallone for Rambo, but if you do a search for those 2 names, you get 50,000 hits for websites discussing if Rambo could actually beat Chuck Norris in a fight. Of course we all know that is silly, because Chuck Norris is so fast, he can run around the world and punch himself in the back of the head.

Our discussion of 80's movies was pretty short, but here is a site for all things 80's movies. And, like we mentioned, the lamest of 80's movies is Howard the Duck.





That will do it for this week's Not Sports Report. Any suggestions on topics for discussion, just leave a comment or shoot us an email.
