0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. We're back for round two of the badass debates. Last week, you heard us |
0:04.4 | refine our 3C patented badass ranking system. You heard us go back to this 40-some classical |
0:11.9 | badasses from antiquity to update their stats and see how we feel about it. Today, we're going |
0:17.8 | to be considering new inductees into the list. We have started a seed. There's a lunch |
0:24.0 | Jake from State Farm like anticipated the rebirth of the badasses. Why Jim and I were just working |
0:28.9 | on this project in secret. He talked about revisiting it in a recent lunch. It suggested a bunch |
0:33.6 | of new guys. I probably gals for us to consider. So that's going to be this was a good start of |
0:41.3 | a list. So we're going to go through this. Before we do, I want Jim and I spent some time yesterday |
0:47.7 | just like really codifying the rules and getting them kind of straight going back through |

1:17.7 | biggest badass, if you are a navy seal with three metals of honor and 16 purple hearts, |
1:24.0 | but you have not been in the television series or a film that depicts you as such. |
1:29.7 | And you are not eligible to be a badass, even though you are the most badass. This is about movie |
1:35.2 | cinematic 80s action badasses. It's unapologetically physical and that it's not necessarily bad |
1:45.6 | courage, although there is a charisma scale to kind of capture those things. It's mostly just about |
1:51.3 | explaining why we like John McLean and Arnold Schwarzenegger so much. So you have to have not just |
2:00.0 | one, but at least two badass roles to even be considered for the smallest increment of badass |
2:06.9 | you can be, which is 0.25. It's a three point scale. There's three characteristics and we assign |
2:12.8 | them quarter points for for how badass they are. So character is the sheer number of times |
