It is but they are giving the AI too much credit. That's been a joke circulating the internet for a while. I would like to actually know who came up with it.
I love how Brandon’s like “Are we gonna do a food heist?” And Dan absolutely takes his moment to exert power and goes “Do you WANT to talk about a food heist?” Fully aware that he is the dealer and Brandon is the buyer.
I noticed Brandon specifically smiled and played with the corner of the papers in anticipation of the food heist story. He definitely looks forward to them.
seriously though: It is an Ai-powered self-driving car that has been given the task to deliver 100,000 Amazon packages as fast as possible. The Ai then determines that the fastest way would be to recruit / infect additional cars by uploading a copy of itself onto their electronics. Either due to terrorists or some honest to god mix up, some of the packages have samples of a new pandemic virus in them. The crew has to race from car to car to find those packages.
The fact that we have perfect triple crossover with fast & furious, national treasure, and gone in 60 seconds in stealing the declaration of independence.
My very favorite quote about Fast and the Furious movies is: "Fast and the Furious is like The Avengers, only more racially diverse, and less bound by the laws of physics and reality"
I asked chat gpt to write 100 Bambi sequels. My favorite was Bambi Thirty-something: The Forest Kingdom. Bambi and his friends find a hidden kingdom within the forest and must navigate its politics to survive.
29:07 Did we just find out John Scalzi did even Brandon's signature before Brandon? Also, I haven't watched a single Fast and Furious movie and I still found all this absolutely hilarious (oh, somebody else said the same already? Well, apparently it's a thing). What a wonderful episode!
As a fan of Fast and Furious series and Brandon Sanderson this episode made me laugh really hard! I want Dan and Brandon to be in charge of writing the last movie of Fast and Furious
38:14 At this point while listening on Spotify, I immediately went to TH-cam and watched the street sharks video. What was the next video suggestion? This episode on TH-cam.
Welcome to Brandon and Dan's master class on how to write a terrible movie! I thoroughly enjoyed this episode and the end immediately reminded me of DudeDad's How Ikea was made :)
How did Scalzi react to Brandon's award? I'd love to have seen his reaction! Nicholas Cage is the evil villain earlier on, then comes back for the 20th! Future movie: they're stuck is an isolated town/country and all they have to drive are electric mini cars.
Some other sequel Ideas: The Fast and the Famished; a food heist on moving vehicles Fast and Furious and IN SPACE; the crew, for some reason, needs to retrieve that one Tesla that was launched into space.
You need them to be like Cincinnatus. They need to show up, save the republic, and then return to their autoshop and work on cars like nothing happened. The fact they total ignore the movie happened at the end is the best!
8:30 oh sure, I send a 25 page research paper about Allomancy with a check sum carved into aluminum to Brandon and THIS is the example you pick for being a strange thing to send to someone?
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Hector is gonna be running 3 Honda Civic's with spoon engines. On top of that he just came into Harry's and ordered 3 t66 turbo's with NOS's and a Motec System Exhaust.
They have to steal food from an secret underwater base and deliver it to a secret moon base. With only cars. It's now a food heist space movie with cars.
haveing not watched theses films but going off brandon's description my pitch is a disaster film where the crew has to steal/save a historic car and race it out of a city failing to the elements all around them.
My pitch for “Fast, Furious” (without having seen the movies so I can’t name characters): The crew wants to settle down and get back to their old street-racing ways. No more shenanigans, it’s just life and cars. Only when they enter a big race, they find they have been targeted by a mysterious villain… who planted bombs in all of their cars that will go off if they drop below a certain speed. The villain is played by Keanu Reeves.
My fast and furious movie idea: The team learns a rogue state is going to launch a missile attack, and the team has to steal a bunch of missile interceptor vehicles and drive them to where they can shoot it down during the launch!
Great episode. Have you guys had an episode where you contemplate crossovers that you would make between movies or tv shows? If not, I think you guys could come up with some pretty interesting, plausible, ridiculous crossovers. Example: What if Fast and Furious had crossed over with The Transporter with Jason Statham instead of bringing him in with his current character arc.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned this, but the 10th fast and the furious movie is called Fast X and it comes out on May 19th. I believe it is basically part one of two and the next one is the last one. The trailer is out and the bald buff guy they added is not bald but he's Jason Mamoa so it's fine.
When I worked at the BYU bakery, we had to weigh our chocolate chips for the cookies, consistently I noticed our 25 lb boxes were 23.5 pounds. Double checked the box and it said 25lbs net wt (aka, box & bag not counted in the weight). Ended up that the dude at the company was doing it on purpose!
this is such a great podcast :) i like your fast and furious idea but i was thinking they should go to space, like they have to steal the tesla that's floating around up there
I think the plot of the Dave Bautista self driving car movie needs to be that the self driving car does a better job on a secret mission than the Vin Diesel crew does in the prologue, so the US government decides it doesn't need the crew anymore and will use only the self driving car going forward. A little later, the crew discovers that the mission from the prologue was staged, and the villains they were after actually created the AI car (and programmed it specifically to "beat" themselves in a way that is better than anyone else could do it so the government trusts the AI car). The villains' real plan is to use the self driving car to upload malware into government computers to take over the power grid or launch nuclear weapons or do something evil. Once the Vin Diesel crew figures this out, they have to out drive a fleet of the self driving cars on their way to cripple the US government.
Having never these films, my bad script idea is that Disney goes on on a buying spree again and get the rights to the F&F movies, then makes a Cars crossover. Also, I think we may need to hear a bit of Ben's reaction to this episode.
"FasTEN your seatbelts" is a criminally good title
Yeah, that is amazing
It is but they are giving the AI too much credit. That's been a joke circulating the internet for a while. I would like to actually know who came up with it.
Should be the one where their kids are starting to get involved in heists.
I can't stop thinking about how much I want them to do that.
@@althechicken9597 Earliest I can find is Reddit from 2017.

Do you want to build a snowman? 😂
"Does it seduce them?" I broke at the exact moment Brandon did. Dan, you are unstoppable.
I got weird juxtapositions of Don Giovanni (Mozart opera) with this ridiculous movie franchise... gosh.
The Declaration of Independence one killed me. I couldn’t stop laughing
Same
I could only think of a Gone in 60 Seconds tie-in
Especially when it was supposedly their most dangerous mission... after multiple involving time travel, magic or aliens.
"A car that steals other cars? Does he seduce them?" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I’m so excited for stormlight arch5! Rhythm of 4 was phenomenal
Well done!😆
I was angry for a sec, then I got the joke. Well played.
What about Twords of Radiance?
OK, that was bad.
Oathreenger?
@@wingracer1614 dammit if oathreenger isnt so bad its good. Just say it out loud hahahhahahah
Am I too late for the obvious Way of K1ngs?
OK, but "F17: Flight of the Furious" is *also* a really great pun, even one of the earlier suggestions was already a fighter jet movie
I would assume the time travel in 12 Fast 12 Furious would involve messing up the events of 2 Fast 2 Furious, which is why the title is a callback.
I'd rather habve 12 furious men, which is actually an action packed court drama... somehow
With the retro theme the AI missed a chance with "12 Furious Men"
Love where this ended - Dave Bautista as a self-stealing car. its perfect 🤣🤣🤣
This is one of the greatest episodes of this podcast. What a treat!
The fact that we have perfect triple crossover with fast & furious, national treasure, and gone in 60 seconds in stealing the declaration of independence.
I'm not sure if I've ever seen Brandon laugh so much on an episode, lol.
Brandon's laughter at the end and how satisfied he and Dan were was delightful! LOL make that movie!!
49:52
My brain immediately upon hearing this:
"Dave Bautista comes in and he's like 'Hey, need an oil change? 😏'"
James Bond as a vampire would makes sense considering been a character from the cold war through the war on terror.
My very favorite quote about Fast and the Furious movies is: "Fast and the Furious is like The Avengers, only more racially diverse, and less bound by the laws of physics and reality"
When both Dan and Brandon start laughing pretty hard, that is the best! I love it! I look forward to these videos each week.😀
I sent this food heist in when I saw it on the news! Glad it came around in the sequence of episodes!
Thank you!
That movie idea at the very end was gold...gold I tell you. So funny.
I still somehow found this utterly hilarious without having watched a single fast and furious movie 🤣🤣
HAHA Brandon’s “Dan…” over “Fasten Your Seatbelts” was HILARIOUS
I kinda wish this episode was just John Scalzi stories. Bring him on sometime.
I love the humbleness of Brandon he has Hugos around and he's showing off his lego award.
FastTEN your seatbelts has been the called for joke title since just before F9 came out 😂😂
it is golden though
I asked chat gpt to write 100 Bambi sequels. My favorite was Bambi Thirty-something: The Forest Kingdom. Bambi and his friends find a hidden kingdom within the forest and must navigate its politics to survive.
The real food heist in Brandon's story was the cost of housing
Mr. Sanderson putting respect on Vin Diesel's name as an actor warms my cold, coal heart.
29:07 Did we just find out John Scalzi did even Brandon's signature before Brandon?
Also, I haven't watched a single Fast and Furious movie and I still found all this absolutely hilarious (oh, somebody else said the same already? Well, apparently it's a thing).
What a wonderful episode!
This was the best intentionally blank pod. Laughed the entire hour
It's really awesome to see Brandon having so much fun
This really is one of the best! Definitely the best ending so far!
Best award ever .... great story
This was the BEST episode ever! I loved it so much. I laughed so hard.
Brandon:
"Theyve stolen a car from a plane"
"Theyve stolen a car from a train"
Me:
"They need to steal a car from an automobile!"
It's hilarious how Brandon can't get the pun in "Fast-ten Your Seatbelts"!
12 Fast 12 Furious is a brilliant title, especially because it involves time travel! 12 is a very time relevant number!
It's like a feat of strength to be here with no views. What an honor.
It must suck that honor’s dead then.
In Japan, Fast and Furious is called Wild Speed, and Hobbs and Shaw is called "Wild Speed: SUPER COMBO"
As a fan of Fast and Furious series and Brandon Sanderson this episode made me laugh really hard! I want Dan and Brandon to be in charge of writing the last movie of Fast and Furious
You can see when Brandon looks down, see the T-Shirt, and his storytelling neurons start firing like crazy.
Brandon's laugh is quite infectious.
38:14 At this point while listening on Spotify, I immediately went to TH-cam and watched the street sharks video. What was the next video suggestion? This episode on TH-cam.
Adoooonalsium
Welcome to Brandon and Dan's master class on how to write a terrible movie!
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode and the end immediately reminded me of DudeDad's How Ikea was made :)
46:40 They're gonna steal the Tesla from outer space
As one who watch wrestlin in the early 2000s i agree with the last part, daviid was my favorite back in the days
F&F, The Transporter, James Bond the Living Daylight combo type would be great !!
And Knight Rider
How did Scalzi react to Brandon's award? I'd love to have seen his reaction! Nicholas Cage is the evil villain earlier on, then comes back for the 20th! Future movie: they're stuck is an isolated town/country and all they have to drive are electric mini cars.
4:28 "It wasn't *that* much." -Dan 2023. Spending $500 for housing (?) sounds so nice honestly.
Overall cost of housing was more, I believe he said $500 was for the food card per month. And Dan said it wasn't that much
I would like to think in a couple of years Dan is sitting there signing as well to support his book writing habit
Some other sequel Ideas:
The Fast and the Famished; a food heist on moving vehicles
Fast and Furious and IN SPACE; the crew, for some reason, needs to retrieve that one Tesla that was launched into space.
Sanderson is now doing a car based magic system
I'm still hoping they'll flip the script and make "The Slow and the Sanguine"
Maybe my favorite episode! 😂
Best episode yet
12 Furious Men - the fast and the furious in the court room.
I came here to pitch the same idea!
You need them to be like Cincinnatus. They need to show up, save the republic, and then return to their autoshop and work on cars like nothing happened. The fact they total ignore the movie happened at the end is the best!
"You can't embezzle things that aren't money!"
Welcome to Chicago. Chicago finds a way.
John Scalizi is the Time Travelling Villian IRL. It's how he got all those books signed before you!
8:30 oh sure, I send a 25 page research paper about Allomancy with a check sum carved into aluminum to Brandon and THIS is the example you pick for being a strange thing to send to someone?
YOU MISSED AN IDEA! TRANSFORMERS! BUDDY COP BUT LITERALLY JUST VIN DESIL WITH HIS TRANSFORMER CAR. 😅😂😊😂😂 45:06
HOW IS IR POSSIBLE NOT THREE MINS LATER BRANDON HAD THE EXACT SAME IDEA I FEEL SO DEFEATED RIGHT NOW I SWEAR I DIDNT WATCH AHEAD…!!!😅😭😭😭😭😭 48:10
Amazing episode!!!
Such a great episode!
42:40 idea for a time traveling mystery novel? don't know if it's a good one tho
That is literally the setup for the first season of Umbrella Academy
F16 should have been "Flight of the Furious" and the jet one !!
Great episode.
49:15 so endearing
Legally Fast 21
Not so Fast but still Furious- The Ger14tric Rally
Mach 10 : A Furiously Fast Movie
Fast 21 : a Furious Space Odyssey
Fun fact: The Street Sharks Vin Diesel job was only three years before he was in Saving Private Ryan.
Your dream job could be just around the corner.
Love being this early. Time to download for my workout listen.
Did you guys see vin diesel saying he now understands why Tolkien didn't finish his work because it's hard to finish mythologies?
I almost spat out my drink at FasTEN Your Seatbelts 😂
I've had this exact Transformers X Fast crssover convo at work so many times.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Hector is gonna be running 3 Honda Civic's with spoon engines. On top of that he just came into Harry's and ordered 3 t66 turbo's with NOS's and a Motec System Exhaust.
Amaaazing episode hahaha, now what would Brandon think of the MTG, LOTR expansion... oh boy im sooo hyped, i hope Brandon is as well
It was rumored they were going to make a musical fast and furious, which would be the greatest thing they could do
Funniest episode alonside the Mary Sue one.
I want an exciting mecha chase scene.
I just saw the Vin Diesel toy pitches. Awesome.
Brandon's idea is Knight Rider, without Michael Knight. An evil K.I.T.T.
They have to steal food from an secret underwater base and deliver it to a secret moon base. With only cars.
It's now a food heist space movie with cars.
haveing not watched theses films but going off brandon's description my pitch is a disaster film where the crew has to steal/save a historic car and race it out of a city failing to the elements all around them.

Have you seen hobbs and shaw? they use the transformers sound in there when someone transforms iirc
I loved the Rock in Turner and Hooch!😂
My fast and furious movie idea: The team learns a rogue state is going to launch a missile attack, and the team has to steal a bunch of missile interceptor vehicles and drive them to where they can shoot it down during the launch!
A self driving car plot NEEDS a Hasselhoff cameo, or we riot.

I love you guys. To funny.
No. Faster by the Dozen. Only option
I haven't ever seen a fast and furious movie, but I kind of want to so I can see how they got from street racing to saving the world.
this is such a great podcast :)
i like your fast and furious idea but i was thinking they should go to space, like they have to steal the tesla that's floating around up there
If you had told me I'd be watching a sanderson podcast for wells to bring up the streetsharks commercial... I would have not believed you.
Alternate Title Suggestion:
Intentionally Blank, Vin Diesel Cares Too Much
I usually go to at least 20 airports a month. I still check every book store I can find for any signed copies. No luck yet...

"this dumb show that we do" name of the podcast right there
