[upbeat music] The noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, the podcast
Well, it's the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. I am Peaches.
I'm Victor.
I was, uh, trying to write up some alt imaging. I know that's your favorite station.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Love it.
We were texting back and forth last night about, uh, ticket giveaways that Jade personally wants us to do-
Mm-hmm
... because, well, these, uh, shows might be a little, uh, might be a little skewed. Is that what I'm looking for here? The, the-
Yeah
... the, the-
Yeah, they might be skewed toward, uh, Jade.
[laughs] Yeah. Like-
Mm-hmm
... we're about to launch a giveaway tomorrow morning. As well, we're about to launch two giveaways tomorrow morning.
Okay. One's K-Bear, one's alt.
Yeah.
Okay.
Exactly that.
The alt one I found to be interesting when I looked into the actual event.
Right? [laughs]
I'm like-
It's nothing that's, like-
I'm sure-
... yeah! [laughs]
I'm sure that there are gonna be some people that are like, "Yeah."
Right.
"That'll be fun."
But it's a very small portion of the audience.
Eh, it's probably bigger than you'd think, but-
Ah, well
... it, okay, for me, it's like, mmh.
I would not travel three hours for this. [laughs]
[laughs] Jade. [laughs] Him, is he gonna go?
He better.
I'd say.
He's the one who forwarded it to me-
[laughs]
... and was like, "Hey, please get us a ticket giveaway for this."
[laughs] All right, dude.
[laughs]
All right, Jade, whatever.
But I was working on alt imaging, and it's weird how, like, we have Throwback 103, which is the pop version of this station, Alt 101.
Yeah. Yeah.
And so I'm trying to figure out what belongs over there and what belongs over here.
Yeah, it's kinda tricky 'cause there is a lot of, uh, crossover. Kinda like alt with K-Bear. A lot of crossover there.
Yeah.
So.
Absolutely, but I was looking up, like, things that happened in the summer of '99. Is that what this is? Or is this just the, the, the ni- oh, it's the summer of '99.
Summer of '99-
Summer of '99
... man, I remember that.
27 things that happened during the summer of 1999 that'll make you say oh my, OMG, can't believe all that happened 20 years ago.
Okay. Well, that sounds like it might be some fun-
More than 20 years ago
... I mean, if you've got that many different things, we might be able to eat up the whole show talking about them.
Well, no, it's kinda just like SpongeBob made its debut on Nickelodeon.
Wow. Wow. '99. Sounds about right, 'cause my kids used to watch it when they were little.
Britney Spears continued to stir controversy for being too sexy.
O- oh!
Which was fallout from her iconic Rolling Stone cover.
Okay. That-
Shout out to her just getting arrested today for DUI.
Mm-hmm. I saw that [laughs] in the news.
Well, that's your next Advocates commercial.
[laughs]
Were you hit by Britney Spears driving behind the wheel completely intoxicated?
[laughs]
When you get hit by a toxic driver, oops, she hit me again. Oh. [laughs]
[laughs] Good stuff, Peaches. Good stuff. [laughs]
Uh, Disney released Tarzan into theaters. The film would mark the end of the Disney Renaissance.
That's the end of the Disney Renaissance, huh?
That's what it says here. This is from BuzzFeed, all right?
I'm pretty sure Disney's still going strong. [laughs]
Uh, yeah, but I mean, like, this was the, the prime time.
I, I guess, but-
The, the early, the late '90s, early 2000s. What was the-
You think so?
What was the peak year for Disney?
I mean, they still put out movies, right? Star Wars and crap like that and...
The Disney Renaissance is cited as from 1989 to 1999.
Okay. I, I guess that's just when s- the supposed best Disney movies came out?
Uh, yeah.
Okay.
I would think so.
All right.
Let me see what the...
Yeah, what, what are they saying are these amazing films?
Oh, let me see here. Uh, All Dogs Go to Heaven.
That is-
[laughs]
That's not a Disney movie.
It, it says right here. Uh, it won two... No, wait. Yeah, upon release, The Little Mermaid-
Okay
... that also came out in 1999. Or 1989-
Yeah
... I should say.
That was a big movie.
It says, "Upon release, The Little Mermaid was a critical and commercial success in, uh," is it gamered? Gam- garnered. Uh-
Garnered. [laughs]
Couldn't read that, the word from here.
Gamered.
[laughs] I was like, "I couldn't read the word from here."
[laughs]
It garnered a higher weekend gross than, uh, Don Bluth's All Dogs Go to Heaven. So they-
All Dogs Go to Heaven is a terrible movie, and no one should ever watch it.
And that was released on the same day as The Little Mermaid.
Wow. Yeah, that movie is awful.
[laughs]
I hate that movie. It is dark and depressing, and di- didn't the little girl who did the voice of, uh, the girl in All Dogs Go to Heaven, didn't she get murdered? Like, not long after it was released-
Let's see
... or even before it was released?
Lani Anderson, is that her name?
I, I don't know.
Is that her?
I don't know.
Died in 2025.
No, that's not her then.
She, she was, uh, 79.
Yeah. Okay, that's, that's someone completely different. It was the voice of the little... I swear.
Okay, let me look this up here.
I'm gonna have to get my phone out again.
Voice of little girl in All Dogs Go to Heaven.
Yeah.
Judith Barsi.
Now, I believe, if I remember correct-
She died at 10 years old. Homicide by gunshot.
That's right. See, that movie's messed up, bro. And I think it was before the movie even came out, if I remember right. That's crazy. That movie is just surrounded by darkness.
As Barsi's career success increased, her father, Joseph, J-O-Z-S-E-F, an alcoholic, [laughs] became increasingly angry and repeated, uh, repeatedly threatened to kill himself, his wife, and his daughter.
Well, that's pleasant.
He was arrested three times for drunk driving. Before Judith left to film Jaws: The Revenge, Joseph reportedly held a knife to her and threatened to kill her-
Jeez
... if she did not return.
Wow.
Why did you take this break?
Dude, well, I'm-
I'm trying to talk about Disney movies-
Yeah
... you're over here like, "Hey, didn't they kill that 10-year-old?"
[laughs] Well, that, that's... All, when I think of All Dogs Go to Heaven, I think of a terribly scary movie for kids and the fact that, uh, that horrible event happened associated with it. They need to just throw that movie in the garbage. Never show it again anywhere. It should vanish from existence.
It says here Barsi had reportedly told friends, "I'm afraid to go home. My daddy is miserable. My daddy is drunk every day, and I know he wants to kill my mother." [laughs]
Oh my gosh. That... See? Screw All Dogs Go to Heaven. That movie is, ugh, yuck.
Well, I'm, I'm trying to look more at the timeline here for Disney, but I guess we should talk about that more in the next break?
Yeah, let's do it on the next break.
I'm hoping Victor doesn't have more news about dead kids [laughs] that he wants to bring up on the program.
[laughs] Hey, I have got lots of factoids that stick in my head about children's classic movies.
Geez.
[laughs]
It's the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. We were talking about the, uh, the timeline, uh, the peak. Oh, so BuzzFeed put out this article, like, 27 things that happened in the summer of 1999 that were, uh, that were crazy for pop culture, something like that.
Yeah.
Disney released Tarzan in the theaters. The film would mark the end of the Disney Renaissance. You then asked, "Are, are, aren't they still in a renaissance 'cause they're, like, one of the biggest ..." I think they are the biggest company in the world.
Something. I mean, they're one of the biggest. You know, they seem to be doing pretty good.
So w- then, then we went on to talk about classic Disney movies, like The Little Mermaid, that came out in 1989.
Okay.
Which I thought that was one of those movies that came out in, like, the '50s. I didn't realize it was that new.
[laughs] Yeah. Yeah, it came out when I was a kid. It was a huge movie too.
Well, 'cause Snow White came out in like 1930-something.
Yeah, yeah, that's really old, really old Snow White.
Yeah.
But, uh, yeah, so they probably had, like, what, The Lion King and blah, blah, blah.
Well, that c- uh, so we're talking about, uh, after All Dogs Go to Heaven-
D- don't bring up that movie again
... there was The Rescuers Down Under that came out in 1990.
Okay, I remember that.
Beauty and the Beast, again, I thought that was one of those movies-
Oh
... that came out in, like, 1950-something.
That was a big deal.
1991.
That was a big deal when that came out.
A- Aladdin came out in '92.
Ooh, okay.
The Lion King in '94.
Yeah, I guess this was a pretty good run of Disney movies.
Pocahontas, 1995.
Even though that movie's a lie. But-
The Hunchback of Notre Dame, '96.
Oh.
Hercules, '97. Mulan, 1998, and then Tarzan in 1999.
Really?
Which, which hands down, best soundtrack I've ever heard-
[laughs]
... in any movie. Phil Collins went off.
[laughs]
All right? Love Phil Collins. That's right. What, what are you laughing at over there?
[laughs] Boom, boom, boo, boo, boom, boom, boom.
Strangers to you and me.
[laughs] Phil Collins. What else happened in '99? Let's get out of this Disney world.
[laughs] Um, uh, Lisa Kudrow hosted the 1999 MTV Movie Awards, Victor.
Oh, wow, that's a big event.
That's a big, big-time, uh, newsworthy event right there.
Way to go, BuzzFeed.
And one of the highlights of the awards show was Will Smith performing Wild Wild West.
Oh, wow. Yeah, that was a great song. [laughs]
W- with a surprise appearance by Stevie Wonder.
All right.
Now, did he surprise himself too by walking on the stage? [laughs]
All right, peaches. Now we're gonna end up in that conspiracy world where Stevie Wonder can really see.
I just think [laughs] they just guided him out on stage, and they're like, "Okay, now walk 10 feet in front of you." [laughs]
Yeah.
And then he falls off.
And then he's like, "This song sucks. Why am, why am I out here-
Yeah
... to do this terrible song?"
He's a real musician. [laughs]
Exactly.
One of the best of all time.
[laughs]
He's doing things with Will Smith. 1999.
Oh, w- there had to be something else that happened in '99 of interest.
Uh, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, the toys were the hottest toys around and had collectors everywhere snatching them up.
Oh, did they? Everybody hated that movie when it came out. [laughs]
[laughs]
It's like, that, that movie is universally despised by Star Wars fans.
I know you absolutely loved this. MTV began airing its eighth season of The Real World.
Oh.
This time set in Hawaii, Victor.
Oh, wow, what a- another big event. [laughs]
The second season of Bleep in the City premiered on HBO.
[laughs] Oh, wow. M- memorable. This BuzzFeed list, man, they're, they're really struggling to find big events that happened in '99.
Doug and The Nanny both ended their runs.
W- I don't e- I, I don't even know what that is.
The Nanny, the TV show.
Oh, Doug.
Also Doug, the cartoon.
The cartoon, okay.
Hated that cartoon.
I wasn't a big fan of it either.
Hey Arnold!, the same thing. CatDog, get those all out of there.
Eh, I didn't mind CatDog. CatDog was all right. [laughs]
The, uh, Sixth Sense was an absolute sensation. Since there was no Twitter or anything back then, not too many people had their ending ruined.
Yeah, what makes me mad about that movie is everyone was like, "It's got a twist. It's got a twist." So I was watching the movie very intently the first time I saw it, and then when the twist came, I was mad 'cause I was like, "That was obvious the whole movie. That's the twist? The ... How did people not notice this? Bruce Willis doesn't talk to anyone in the movie except the kid the whole time." Or no one responds to him anyway. He's, like, talking to his wife or something. She's just ignoring him. It's like, "Yeah, he's a ghost." [laughs]
I feel bad for Hal- is it Haley Joel Osment? Is he the star of the film? Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I feel bad for him 'cause he had, like, a very, very harsh time, I don't know, recently, I think-
Oh
... or something like that.
He made his return in The Boys.
I was waiting for you to give me, like, a Morbid Kid Fun Fact again. [laughs]
[laughs] I think the kid from the Star Wars Phantom Menace, like, uh, th- uh, things didn't work out very good for him. Like, he never made movies again or something, and people were really mean to him because they hated the movie. Like, [laughs]
Uh, The Blair Witch Project scared audiences and had many people thinking it was real. It also become, also became one of the most profitable films of all time.
Yeah, that, that was a big deal. That was a cool movie to see in the theater too. It, you know, and it, uh, it sparked a new, uh, new genre of horror I guess, the found footage style horror. Um-
Interesting
... or at least blew it up to being really big.
Uh-
It's a g- it's a good movie
... Apple released its iBook. Everybody wanted one. Is that true?
I don't even remember an iBook.
It ... You should see this thing. It's just a regular Apple laptop.
[laughs] Okay.
That's all that it is.
Yeah, sure. Yeah.
Yeah.
Everybody wanted it.
Uh, dial-up internet was still very much the norm. Also, not even half of the US had internet access in their homes at the time.
Y- yeah, that sounds about right. I w- I was using dial-up back then.
Napster launched and forever changed the music industry.
[laughs] Was it, was it '99 when Napster launched? [laughs] I never used that program.
[laughs]
I promise. [laughs]
I see something here about George W. Bush, the then governor of Texas, announced he was planning on running for President of the United States.
He 11th president, yeah.
There's a certain clip of him where he says, "We must stop these terrorist killers. Now watch this drive." That clip-
I, I don't ... It, it's been a long time. I try to block-The George Bush years out of my head
Well, he says that, and he goes, "Thank you. Now watch this drive." And he hits the golf ball as hard as he can.
[laughs] Oh, okay. Okay
And I, I was trying to see if I could maybe add that to alt imaging, like Alt 101, now watch this drive [laughs]
Yeah
[laughs] Now that was alternative.
I've been having a lot of flashbacks to, like, 2001 as of late.
Oh.
We gotta, we gotta get 'em. They got the weapons.
[laughs]
Gotta go get 'em.
[laughs]
They got weapons. We promise.
I, I bet the guys at South Park are like, "All right."
[laughs]
"What jokes can we make out of this whole thing?"
[laughs] Jesus.
Uh, John F. Kennedy Jr. going back to 1999, his wife Carolyn and his sister-in-law Lauren Bessette ... Is that the name?
I don't know
... died in a plane crash.
Oh, yeah, I remember that. I remember that.
Uh, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire premiered on [laughs] ABC-
Hey
... and became an instant hit.
With Regis. Very nice.
Uh, Angelina Jolie, who was at the time an up-and-coming actor, graced the cover of Rolling Stone's annual Hot List issue. They, they wouldn't-
[laughs] They probably wouldn't put those out anymore.
I was gonna say, would they get in massive trouble for that now?
Probably. Yeah.
Putting out their Hot List. Like, what if we put out a Hot List?
These are the hottest chicks in, in cinema right now.
We followed the, uh, stereotypical rock radio route.
Oh.
We got the babe of the day.
Jeez. Yeah, a bunch of old dudes like, "Yeah, look at these, you know, young movie stars." Oh.
That's what, uh-
Gross
... Aubrey was most disgusted by when we went and saw Set It Off, 'cause Vanna opened up for them.
Uh-huh.
And you could see all these just-
[laughs]
... guy, guys who looked like, uh, Wilford Brimley that were just like, "Oh, yeah."
[laughs] Oh, jeez.
"I love her red hair."
How many things are left on this list?
Uh, six.
Okay, let's save them for the next break-
Okay, fine
... 'cause we've been babbling on.
Sure. Whatever. Oh, speaking of Vanna, here she is with Pray.
Oh, nice. [upbeat music]
All right, we're still talking about 1999-
[laughs] That's right
... on the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem. Some would say that was Jay Davis's peak.
[laughs] It probably was.
[laughs]
It might have been mine, too.
Back when I was three years old-
Wow
... that was my peak as well.
Yeah, I would've been, uh-
Same haircut
... would've been 17. 17 in '99.
Wow.
Yeah.
Who would've thought-
Old. [laughs] I know
... that if you saw this three-year-old that was about the same size as you at 17-
[laughs]
... you're like, "This guy will be on the same radio station as me someday."
[laughs] This giant oaf of a baby.
[laughs]
We go back to 1999 in a time machine-
[laughs]
... and just somehow, like, get both of us to meet at that time.
Oh, man, I'd be like, "Baby, I don't like kids. Leave me alone."
[laughs] I carry myself.
[laughs]
[laughs] Uh, American Pie. We're g- looking at this list-
Oh [laughs]
... of, like, cultural or big pop culture moments of 1999. American Pie was an unexpected hit and would go on to bring back teen blank comedies.
Yeah. Um, that movie was a big deal, and, um, I'm sure, like the, uh, Rolling Stone Hot magazine we talked about earlier, um, I'm sure that American Pie would probably not be made as a movie today.
Um [laughs]
[laughs] I'm pretty sure.
You were, were you on radio in 1999?
No, I didn't start till 2008.
Oh.
I was in-
I was gonna ask Jay, be like, "Hey, were these the biggest songs on KBEAR when you, uh, started it off, I guess?"
O- okay, I might remember.
Lit's My Own Worst Enemy.
That was pretty big back then.
And Red Hot Chili Peppers' Scar Tissue.
Oh.
Just dominated alt radio.
Yeah, I believe it.
Yeah.
I believe it.
I get it, yeah.
I mean, those songs are still huge. You just saw the numbers.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, that song, L- My Own Worst Enemy, I guess, uh, what happened there? There was something that just ... It was in the radio prep yesterday, something about how, like, they just found their own worst enemy, like something bad happened to, like ... Oh, I think Sony owns their music or something like that.
Hmm. Well, and it ... You know, we talked about some dark stuff earlier. Isn't that the song about somebody taking somebody to a boathouse and murdering them?
I, I, I don't know.
I think it is.
I, I, I just, I just like the song, all right.
[laughs] Yeah, it sounds all-
"Hey, let me think of this, uh, let me try to make a song based off this horrific story. H- let me come up with this fun intro [laughs] on my guitar here."
Maybe I'm thinking of a different song. No, I'm thinking of ... Is it
Possum Kingdom maybe? I don't know. I can't remember.
See, I don't pay attention to those, uh, like, the bands like the Toadies or-
Or ... Yeah, see, I think I'm thinking of Possum Kingdom, n- not My Own Worst Enemy.
Uh, Backstreet Boys, I Want It That Way, was the biggest video on TRL, although it faced fierce competition from the video for NSYNC's I, I Drive Myself Crazy.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
See, this is all, like, throwback-
I remember those
... 103 stuff.
Yeah, dude, I r- I remember these days. Oh, when the boy bands came out, it was so terrible. It was so [laughs] awful.
I, I skipped to number 25-
[laughs]
... 'cause all the rest were just like, Rene Russo started a huge trend when women started copying the hairstyle she had in The Thomas Crown Affair.
Okay, I don't remember that.
Um, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater was released, became one of the biggest-
Part One?
... selling games of the year. Yeah.
Yeah.
The very first one.
Nice.
Original PlayStation.
That game when it came out was awesome. I'm, I still like Part Two the best, but, uh, Part One was pretty good.
It still says here, finally, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace was released into theaters. It would go on to become the biggest movie of the year.
Uh, it probably was, but everybody seemed to hate it.
Yeah.
Jar Jar Binks, annoying character.
[laughs]
Annoying little kid, stupid plot. Movie ... Yeah.
Most-
I re-watched all the Star Wars recently and-
Most annoying characters in movies of all time.
Okay, let's save that for the next break.
Sure.
That'll be a nice list to end the show. [laughs]
[upbeat music] Wrapping up the noon hour of Madness and Mayhem, uh, I did Google search the most annoying characters in movies of all time. Jar Jar Binks is the first one listed.
[laughs] Is number, number one on the list?
Well, from the AI overview.
Oh, okay. It's AI overview.
Well, this is ... There's a question posted. Should we go to another BuzzFeed article of the 21 Most Unlikable Movie Characters of All Time?
All right, let's do it. BuzzFeed, they been, they know how to make a great list-
Uh
... based on the last one.
Cal Hockley from Titanic.
Who is that?
I don't know. Looks like some s- stick in the mud. Looks like some uppity loser that, you know, "I only buy Coach."
[laughs] Okay, I don't remember that character. Must be the, the woman's husband or whatever in the movie.
Uh, Dolores Umbridge from the Harry Potter movies.
Okay.
I mean, that one's a given.
Yeah.
She-
She's supposed to be unlikable
... Mr. Ewell from To Kill a Mockingbird?
Okay. I haven't seen that in a long, long time. What else we got?
Judge Claude Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Okay.
I don't know, these must not be that annoying. They're not standing out to me.
Uh, Albert Johnson from The Color Purple.
Okay. Yeah, I haven't... I don't know if I've ever even seen that.
Scar from The Lion King.
I... Now, are these unlikable or annoying?
Let me see.
21 of the most unlikable-
Okay
... movie characters of all time.
Scar is a jerk.
Okay, let's go to Screen Rant's, uh, list here of the most annoying.
Yeah.
And at number 10 we do have Jar Jar Binks.
Okay, great.
Uh, Willie Scott from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
Willie Scott.
Is it... They're showing a picture of like-
Is it the, the kid?
No, not... He's Data, isn't he? No, he's not Data.
That's in The Goonies. But-
No, but he's, uh -
I don't know what his name is in Will- in Indiana Jones. He was in that recent movie, Everything Everywhere All at Once. He was really good.
Yeah. Ke Huy Quan, that's his name.
Yeah.
He played Short Round.
Short Round.
That's, so it's not him.
Okay.
I'm like, he had a different funny name.
All right. I haven't seen the Temple of Doom in a long time, so I don't know.
Um-
Who, who else we got for annoying?
Mary Cor- Corleone from The Godfather Part III.
Okay. Yeah. Godfather Part III, I only watched like one time, so don't remember.
Herman Ferguson from Judge Dredd, Rob Schneider's character, I think.
Okay. Been too long.
Uh, Scrappy-Doo from Scooby-Doo, the movie.
[laughs] Scrappy-Doo? [laughs]
Scrappy-Doo is kind of annoying.
More annoying than Jar Jar Binks?
Uh, I mean, I didn't... I, I haven't really... I don't think I've actually ever seen The Phantom Menace because I've only ever played like Lego Star Wars and understood-
Oh
... the story from that, and have read into the lore.
Okay. You're g- you're gonna have to do the, the Star Wars marathon, man. They're good movies.
Well, Aubrey's never seen a single one of the films.
Oh, then perfect.
Yeah.
Yeah, show her all of them. Yeah.
We'll start with IV, V, VI, then go to I, II, III.
Yep.
Um, we were, we were... We just watched half of the movie Prisoners, which I've already seen.
Okay.
But she likes to... I, I found out she really, really likes true crime film.
Okay.
So I, we watched that one. It's a hitman with Glen Powell.
Mm.
And then so I was like, well, this is one of the best true crime movies of all time with a stacked cast. I mean, you got Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis. Um, there's one, the blonde lady's famous. She, Melissa Rios, is that her name? Something like that.
I'm not sure.
Um, but yeah. It's a huge... Terrence Howard's in it. Like, it's a whole-
All right
... mystery as to why the, both their daughters went missing, and Jake Gyllenhaal plays the cop and-
Okay. I might have to check that one out.
It's about three hours long, so.
All right. Well, I, I don't mind that.
Yeah. Yeah. Uh, Ruby Rhod on this list here of the most annoying characters of all time from The Fifth Element.
Been too long since I've seen it.
Uh-
Yep
... Jenny Curran from Forrest Gump. Jenny.
Jenny. See, I'd call her more unlikable than annoying. You know, she wasn't really annoying. She's, you know, just hateable.
Uh, Nikki from Little Nicky, Adam Sandler's character.
[laughs] Little Nicky.
Number three. [laughs]
[laughs] Oh, I like that movie, but he is kind of annoying.
And then we have Percy Wetmore from The Green Mile. This, he's been listed twice now.
Oh. See, but... And he, again, I don't know about annoying but so unlikable. That's one of the most unlikable characters in any movie.
Says, "Deeply frustrating character. Considering the fact that he is a secondary villain, it feels as though things could have improved in the story by simply removing the dead weight character."
No, no. He, he... Ha- having him to hate on adds a lot to that story. [laughs]
And then number one, I don't know how you say this 'cause I've never seen this classic movie, is it Commodus, Commodus from Gladiator, Joaquin Phoenix's character.
Oh. I, I, I don't know how you say his name, but, uh, see, again, unlikable. Unlikable. But I don't know about annoying. You... I don't know if he can beat Jar Jar Binks.
Yeah. Yeah.
I don't know if he can beat Jar Jar Binks for annoying.
Who are the most annoying characters in movies that could beat Jar Jar Binks? I'm trying to ask, uh-
[laughs] ChatGPT?
... ChatGPT here.
[laughs] It's, it's gonna be pretty tough to find a more annoying-
Scrappy-Doo is what it lists first.
Scrappy-Doo. [laughs]
Loud, hyper, constantly trying to prove he's tough. It gave me Ruby, uh, Rhod again. I think it's just going to that Screen Element-
Oh, okay. It probably-
... it's Screen Rant's article. Yeah, it gave me Willie Scott from Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom.
All right.
