Adam and Kyle discussed the possibility of making a movie about Lieutenant Dan from "Forrest Gump", focusing on his life before, during and after the events of the film. Kyle suggested several updates to the plot, including a scene where Forrest excels at pickleball. Adam confirmed he was looking to play a character with limited mobility in his next film.

That's a great war pitcher, dude. Let's do it. That's a great idea. Right? Lieutenant Dan before. The Lieutenant Dan spin-off. Right? I want to see specifically all Lieutenant Dan. Bro. Like what happened? How did he lose his legs? Yeah.
He does. But you don't have to show. I'm a dumbass. You could show him living that life. Tell his story. Yeah. You just want to see his hair grow out. You want to see those years when it was kind of like a little awkward. Yeah, like kind of the awkward hair and people don't respect him because his hair's not dope yet. Yeah, dude. I like that. I want the comedy of like everyone's supposed to respect him and like, but he's kind of a dick.
Well, I have an image of Gary Sinise walking at the end of the movie. Is he walking? That's when he's with his wife. And he has metal legs, remember? Who cares? And he goes, he goes clink, clink. Yeah, he hits the cane against his metal legs. And at the beginning of the movie, he has legs as well. I don't remember him at the beginning. What are you?
I know, I know. I know I should have this in my mind, but I don't have an image of him. Lieutenant Dan is in charge of Forrest Gump. Mm-hmm. He's his lieutenant. He says wear good socks. And he's like, don't salute me, you fucking idiot. That's the first time you meet him? Yes. Isn't there a scene at school when they meet and like, he's like the bully or something?
And Bubba doesn't have a scene from the high school. Adams movie has. He loses, he gets his legs blown off. And then. Okay. I remember he carries them. I remember that. He's mad that Forrest saved his life because he's supposed to die in battle. Oh yeah, he's like, let me die. Yep. Let me die.
And then later he's an alcoholic with long limbs Lenore. Uh huh. Wow, Durrs, go off. That's right. Go off, Durrs. And then Forrest gives him like a reason to live. And then he comes back at the very end with the fucking fake legs and a new wife. And she goes, it's nice to meet you, Forrest.
Well, see, I do, the whole point initially was to be crippled in it. That's what I was kind of looking forward to sitting down for most of it. I think that means that your movie has to take place when Forrest was like off doing something in the movie. Kicking it with Jenny. Yeah, probably Jenny.
Yeah, he's playing ping pong. Pickleball. We need to fill the gaps in the Lieutenant Dan storyline. Yeah, smart. What if we update it, Forrest Gump is really good at pickleball.
And then I look up and I see the TV and pickleball. This is like what, the 70s? So it's like, he's not getting a lot of love for pickleball yet. It hasn't become the phenomenon. He looks up at the TV and he sees Forrest crushing the ping pong. And he's like, God damn that Forrest Gump. Yeah.
I watched that movie. Lieutenant Man. No, no, no, no. We're getting the rights. We're calling Zumeikis. We're getting the rights. Okay. Lieutenant Man.
Yeah, okay. Let's go for it. Yeah, reboot. Well, we want the IP, I guess. Yeah, you're right. I'm a fucking idiot. Right. Walk Forrest, walk. Lieutenant Daniel. Let's just call it that. Lieutenant Man. Walk Forrest. Walk. Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump. Forrest. Make it in Russia, dude. That would be sick. Dude, I am Lieutenant Man. Walk Forrest.
Yes points. I'll be crippled. I'm pissed now. I'll be crippled for my next film. I only play guys that their legs don't work from here on out.
