I have now seen Rocky II. It was my first time seeing it. Although, so I think the only one I had seen all the way through was the first one. So I had that going for me. And then I knew the gist of what happens in the succeeding films. Time out. What do you mean you knew the gist of what would happen in the succeeding films? Plural. Because all these movies are the same. I remember seeing just the beginning of the fourth one where we see the living in America, dancing and everything. And then Apollo Creed being killed. Not even the beginning. That's like in the middle of the movie. Is that in the middle? Okay. Well, I saw that part. He came into the middle of the movie on TV once. It was the beginning to him. We've all done it. Exactly. Listen, the world revolves around Ethan. We get it. Look, the entire premise of this program. Are you going to tell me like, oh, the order you watch things isn't the order it happened? Ethan, we do it in an order, just not in the normal order. We still have standards. All right. Whatever. The point is, I saw that scene as a child and it disturbed me because I was like, how could this man so full of life be knocked out and killed? You know, what's interesting is I think the first time I saw Rocky IV was on TV and I only remember seeing that scene. So maybe it was the same time. I don't think I was aware that someone could die in a boxing match like that. Oh. They usually don't. They usually don't. I mean, it has happened. It's not like it's an unprecedented event. I think he's the only one who's ever been dressed like Uncle Sam though. Okay. So had you seen anything else or that was it? You got scarred from one moment. Just the first one and then the scene that's apparently in the middle of the movie for Rocky IV. And then, yeah, that's pretty much it. Haven't seen the Creeds. Didn't see Rocky Balboa.

So like what's some shitty job you'd be willing to do just to be part of that world? Raw respondent mention: Ethan, what would you be a janitor for?

RECORDED ANSWER / CHOICE

But what I would happily do is be the janitor for a movie theater. If I was able to just watch movies for free all the time, that's what I would do.

I picked Cirque du Soleil. And I would absolutely be a janitor if I could just stand there during the show and watch and then clean up after happily.
