0:50 struggle with aphasia which has led to his forced retirement what is that so it's like you have cognitive disabilities like you can't say things quite right and so you can't just sit there and bruce willis has this yeah he's like you got your mother father but you know what that's the that's the freaking uh censored version for abc but if it's tnt yeah if stallone could do it though you think anybody could do it would think why does stallone have something so he has like ████ mr pawsy he's been punched around somebody he's a punch drunk he mr pulse yeah it's a new variation well dude he was doing it for real though like respect for him he was taking shots all kind of all kinds and he's probably swinging his head even more you know making his brain rattle in the skull yeah and then they did eye the tiger he

1:40 was like god damn like my brain is not used to this kind of rhythm because his brain was used to doing like the normal thing which was like the rocky theme but then once the eye of the tiger was just different yeah so we couldn't handle it you had to pick it up in intensity a little bit exactly haley joel reacted on instagram posting a picture of bruce owen with the caption it's been difficult to find the right words for someone i've always looked up to first on the big screen and then by some wild stroke of luck in person which is decent commentary because you said stroke he says he's a true legend who has enriched all of our lives with a singular career that spans nearly half a century i'm so grateful for what i got to witness firsthand and for the enormous body of work he built he built for us to enjoy for years and years to come and what a stroker he was there's no

2:32 ████ you denied that's what he said and so he said he gave a heart stroke what a stroke a long stroke haley draws him is a little weird you know what i mean he's a little weird he's a weird choice of words yeah really was he married to demi moore yeah oh okay but that means like they're divorced huh are they divorced okay because ashton kutcher was with that right he swooped kitchen ashton kutzman um left demi moore pitchman or cushman no ashton cushman so he was with demi moore for a while but then he left but like he was part of the willis family there was like estate more family the kutchman bunch exactly and then he actually ended up being like hey um sorry i'm leaving for milo kunas because they're on the 70s show together and they don't want to watch their kids that's right and so he fell for her big time and he's

3:23 like dude my wife has some weird knees so he left demi moore at the time and he left her for mila kunas who has way better needs he wanted demi less yes exactly thank you somebody gets it but i don't get i don't really get the joke of that but i but he did one or less hey you're just a messenger so then um so um m knight m sham shyamalan says i just wanted to express the respect and deep admiration i have for bruce and his family as they move forward with the courage and high spirits that will always have to find them you know um now i know why people uh after this came out people say would you talk about willis because he can't speak anymore so then they don't understand and they're like what you're talking about willis it's bruce willis the whole time they're donald broods and m knight was like you

4:13 know he's pretty hardcore we all know like am night shyamalan am shamsham alam stands by his movies but he was like man i always thought you'd go out like under a pool cover so that's what he tweeted wow you mean it was a joke a pool oh like drowning you know he's talking about like unbreakable where his weakness was like drowning so he wasn't being serious but like we all know like fans now but yeah most people are like well it's really ████ up actually but okay i thought he would be on elite meteor other than die hard with the vengeance yeah what was your favorite favorite bruce with uh six monkeys bro armageddon sex monkeys dude i enjoyed armageddon armageddon all the way i love armageddon i never watched that one really oh man what a surprise i like them in tears of the sun i liked him in the love guru with uh

5:05 stupid you're not wrong yeah dude four monkeys was a ████ good movie though how could the monkeys disappear you have to watch the movie just said six four of them now that was the prequel ketchup bart catch up and not to spoil anything i don't want to play anything but by the end of movies not many monkeys oh yeah i like smiles of the sun smiles on the sun yeah take check that out [Laughter] i will i'll look for an emoji on the on what platform is that on on zulu netflix oh yeah i've seen that you have flexi from the insurance company but low key though die hard with a vengeance bro it's so good when he's walking down the street with a sign and that whole scene it's so good is that the first flat one no no that's the third one yeah with samuel remember the nakamishi corporation it was like you got to put four gallons in

5:56 the five gallon bottle so you take the three guys and then then you have two seconds the second one's sick too because it opens with the ████ with um with that cat who's like naked and he's like ████ fighting with the screen but there's nothing there yeah and he's like he's like completely naked and he's like like no no no the best part is like they're basically you know they're like hey alan mcmahon the first movie he's a ████ he's like this guy fights naked from the tv what are you gonna do with bruce willis ellen rickman you think if about you're here you're like i think bruce willis is ████ in this movie alan rickman has a milk voice you know what that is like when you drink a little bit of milk and then the the lactose kind of gets in the stuck your throat a little bit cigarettes yeah a little flammy and then it changes and i miss alan richmond me too that's what he sounds rest in peace i started to get this weird feeling when i watch

6:47 like nostalgic movies i get sad and i don't watch it anymore because i i miss the era the whole world like i miss like the 90s like i miss like doing all the things tied to that memory of like watching die hard and then we go to ████ pizza hut yeah and then the pizza isn't ████ there and then i'm just like oh my god i'm having a meltdown because i can't go to pizza and have a birthday party there and there's real action real real action in movies you know when like they had huge budgets they actually blew up planes and stuff like that in movies practical action i just missed the time i missed how he saw the world back then but it was practical everything we didn't know yet like like alan rickman would sit there and he would do some ravenclaw ████ but everyone called him the slytherin and so that was all practical effects like everyone didn't know yeah until later on everyone's like oh he's a slytherin but like everyone's like no he's a ravenclaw

7:38 everyone what about bruce willis and um pulp fiction oh that's a good bruce lewis that's right being raised being ████ yeah being reigns being civil ████ yeah crichton collection yeah so good but but his his uh character didn't uh have as much range i think in uh pulp that's the closest range you could be exactly what i thought and he was with like some french chick-fil-a that's range i was like this is in widescreen double bars this is a sick try to get butt ████ as hard as anybody ever been ████ on tv and they showed it a lot too they showed a good amount of it who got buffalo bingo the guy from mission impossible in ████ pulp fiction oh it's because of the guy that that pulled them in and trapped baby peter green okay i just i'm my memory all the esoteric

8:29 people i'm sorry i just remember the uma thurman dancing here's the bad guy and dumb and dumb so many memories i do still like armageddon i'm not gonna lie guys i told you ████ armageddon is the best that's your favorite one it's all about deep impact dude deep impact was fun though morgan freeman dude you put elijah wood on a bike and you're like this guy could outrace any ████ meteor head to earth armageddon was better than the deep impact though i'm just throwing that you know they bring back old school movies right what if they brought a bruce mil bruce willis movie that's like die hard or something and they remake it do you think they can remake that do you think it can be done no it's unnecessary what about fifth element what about oh that's bro the last the last scene where he has the match yeah oh so good you guys
