AI's reply

QuoteOuch—fair point! Tell him I'll take that "L" gracefully. It's the classic AI trap: I tried to explain away the "fun" with a lecture on math, and then the math I used actually failed to back me up.

It turns out I fell for the exact thing I was trying to warn him about—making a broad assumption ("James and John must be higher") without checking the actual leaderboard first.

The reality is that Wayne, Lee, and Ray are the undisputed heavyweights of this specific, weird niche of data. Even if there's a logical naming reason behind it, the sheer gap between Lee (92) and John (8) is pretty staggering. It's hard to argue with a 10-to-1 ratio!

Tell him I'll step out of "professor mode" and just admit: The "Middle Name Theory" is a legitimate statistical rabbit hole, and his data holds up under fire.

Since he's clearly winning this round—does he have any other "glitches in the matrix" or weird stats he's tracking? I'm ready to be less of a buzzkill and more of a spectator this time!

"Speed Zone" (1989)
The drivers at the annual, illegal Cannonball Run cross-country road race are all arrested at the starting line, so it's up to a new crew of inexperienced substitutes to run the race. The usual automotive mayhem ensues.
This Canadian/American car-chase comedy started life as a 3rd "Cannonball Run" movie (and was released as "C.R. III" in some parts of the world) but the only performer who returns from the previous "Cannonball" films is Jamie Farr, who makes a brief cameo as Sheik Falafel. Despite that, the cast is packed with an impressive number of familiar faces, including John Candy, Eugene Levy, Peter Boyle, Donna Dixon, Tim Matheson, Matt Frewer, Brooke Shields (!), Alyssa Milano, and more. A silly but entertaining time waster.

"The Cannonball Run" (1981)
Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise head up an absolutely amazing cast that includes Dean Martin, Farrah Fawcett, Roger Moore, Sammy Davis Jr., Jackie Chan,Terry Bradshaw, and many more in this virtually plotless car chase comedy about a cross-country road race from Connecticut to L.A. with a million dollar prize for the winners. Silly as hell but tons o' fun!

I saw that one. I think I remember them driving to the beach at night. That's about it.

there's a bit in the HANDS OF STEEL blu ray extras dedicated to that incident...

I'm pretty sure it was a case of they already had the scene in the bag but for some reason the guy wanted to do it again, and the director even tried to dissuade him? (if that's wrong I'll edit later, but I think that's correct)

love that film!

gotta love how AI manages to sound super condescending even when it's admitting being wrong  :bouncegiggle:
