Did an actor flub a line in Tokyo Drift, creating a confusing plot point about the seventh?

The episode begins with the hosts discussing minute 14 of Tokyo Drift, where Sean Boswell takes a taxi through Tokyo, passes a KFC and McDonald's, and arrives at his father's apartment. They note the minute is titled 'The Seventh' due to a confusing line of dialogue about the date. Joey and Joe speculate that actor Brian Goodman, who plays Major Boswell, might have flubbed the line, leading to narrative confusion. They delve into Brian Goodman's filmography, revealing he has worked multiple times with director Justin Lin on films like Annapolis and Finishing the Game. Goodman also directed the film What Doesn't Kill You, which one review described as a tragic sequel to Training Day. The hosts transition to discussing Vin Diesel's Instagram activity, analyzing ten recent posts. These include a black-and-white post reflecting on 30 years in filmmaking since his short film debuted at Cannes, which the hosts find cryptic and possibly AI-like. Another post shows Diesel with a 'G4P3' shirt honoring Paul Walker, which they humorously misread. A Mother's Day video features Diesel painting for his mother and signing the artwork 'Vin,' which they find notably unhinged. They also review promotional videos for the Fast franchise and a poorly mixed clip about an engine. News segments cover Michelle Rodriguez starring in a survival thriller called Left Seat with Richard Gere and John Cena's wrestling retirement. Listener emails include a question about the feasibility of Fast X Part 2 given financial pressures, to which the hosts express cautious optimism. Another listener suggests a Han and Giselle wedding scene for Fast 10, sparking discussion on wrapping up the series. The episode concludes with personal updates from the hosts, including Joe's experience at a Charlie XCX concert and an illusionist dinner, and Joey's viewing of films like Thunderbolts and The Surfer.
