Runk.
Hey guys, welcome to the episode that's next of congratulations.
It's episode 490.
Thanks to Legends social casino and sportsbook for sponsoring this episode.
We preach.
It is, go to crystal.com, get tickets to my show.
I'll be in Salt Lake City.
I'm going to be in Denver.
I got Portugal up there.
now, Montreal this week, Ottawa this week, it's going to be on and popping.
Hate that I did that.
You know what?
It's just going to be a nauseous day.
It says how it's going to be.
And it's all good, but it's going to be a nauseous day.
I don't want that at all.
But here's what I did this weekend.
8-8-8.
and I started the day great all of the days.
Every day of the weekend, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday started the days great.
I'm talking salmon and rice.
I'm talking egg whites.
I'm talking oatmeal.
I'm talking chicken.
Okay?
And every single day after that, I go, no.
I go, burn it all down.
I go.
Oh, there's Berea tacos or whatever the hell they call those.
What are they called?
Berea.
Oh, oh, Berea?
Oh, yeah.
I love food that rhymes with diarrhea.
Well, yeah.
What's in biria tacos?
That's what they're known for?
Cool.
Where's it from?
A truck?
Yup.
Put it inside me.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, dude.
Oh, just straight.
Yeah.
When you're getting something that a place is known for,
it's bad for you.
Okay. Nobody has the world famous asparagus.
So a gold truck pulled up to my buddy's,
a gold taco truck
showed up, pulled up to my buddy's Super Bowl party,
which, you know,
there were a lot of rich people there.
And I'm like,
poor there.
And I showed up
and the
the guy in the taco truck
was the only guy that was like, oh shit,
Chris Delia? And I was like,
that's my man's in them.
Yeah, but do you have anything that rhymes
with diarrhea?
I'll have that.
Cut to
the next day.
Just the next day.
This, this, I mean, I don't even want to, but I feel disgusting.
Okay.
Ice cream, handled it.
Uh, in and out.
Handled it.
Dude.
In and out.
In your mouth, out your anus.
Just, I mean, destroyed my insides.
It was like, you know, just destroying my insights.
And, uh, it wasn't.
And I went for a walk with the boys today.
And just, man, I'll go for a 15-minute walk.
And I, and I, and with the, with the, with the ice cream and in and out and
and Berea tacos, just and leftover stuff from it, who knows, who even knows?
I think I ate a plant outside somewhere.
And, and I walk.
I go, let's take a walk.
And Billy says, okay.
And Calvin says, no, I don't want to.
I said, all right, let's stay home.
But is everyone going?
I said, yeah.
He said, all right, I'll go.
So he goes, we're there.
Calvin will be like, I'm not, I'm not, he's like that movie, like a movie is like,
no matter what happens, I'm not doing it.
And then it cuts to the guy in the full gear doing it.
That's what Calvin's like.
And he has, it's like the, like Vince, like Vince Vaughn.
in swingers.
Or no,
John Fiverall.
I'm not going to Vegas.
I'm not going.
I'm not going.
And then he's just screaming Vegas.
Vegas, baby, Vegas.
That's Calvin.
Because he will throw a fit and not want to go and then go and then go and have the best time.
It's like he will go.
He will be like, no, scream, cry, fight tooth and nail.
And then immediately be in a Natasha, Bettingfield,
montage of the thing that he didn't want to be doing it
and just having a blast.
So
It's a song.
Remember that song?
Dan don't,
Denalene ding dong.
Natasha Beddingfield.
And then Daniel Bettingfield came in and just
swept her under the rug with that fucking
got to get done ass.
Chung.
Chung ching chung.
Natasha Bettingfield got
And it's an unwritten
She had a little hit
Then in Beddingfield goes like this
No, nah, nah, not on that, mate
I got, I got it
And I gotta get through this
And chung
chung-dun-dun-tun-tch-dun-tch-dun-tch-dun-tch-dun-tch-dun
And then Natasha
Bettingfield goes like this
Because she's under the rug
Because Daniel Bettingfield came
And fucking annihilated his family with that song
Because it's so good
all he says is
gotta get through this
I gotta get through this
it's like if a six year old
was like I'm gonna make a song
and it's gonna be about
it's gonna be inspirational
I gotta get through this
all the time
can't get through this
it's gotta get through this
it's gonna get through this
chung chung chung chung chung
dung
dung
god dude every song's about love
you know that song's about love
and so anyway, my insides are just terrible.
But that's good because I'm realizing I must eat pretty healthy
because my insides aren't terrible most of the time.
And when I eat really bad, my inside get healthy.
Get terrible.
So that's fine.
We had a good Super Bowl.
I didn't even watch, I literally didn't even watch the Super Bowl.
It was on, but I didn't look at it, which was fine.
I actually don't, I don't, I don't care.
And I don't, and here's even, I'll go even further.
I don't care about the halftime show.
I don't care.
Now, I caught some of it, uh, bad bunny.
And that is the hot topic of the week.
And I don't know bad bunny stuff.
I don't know one.
Does he have that song that goes,
that one song?
That one song.
That's it.
That's what I know.
And I just found that out.
By the way, after the Super Bowl.
Whipop-wop-wop-wop-paw.
Gwendo, quando, or whatever the, you know, fuck.
I don't know what he's saying.
It's Spanish.
And whatever.
And I caught a little bit of the thing after the Super Bowl, the halftime.
And I go, this shit kind of rips, dude.
I mean, the dude was bouncing around.
I don't care that he.
speaking Spanish. That shit rips. It sounded good. Okay.
A guando, I wanto, I careo, quando. Just fucking, you know, and just the dancing and the
fucking, the unity he was trying. It was, it was cool. He took the high road. I thought it was good,
man. So, look, when I first heard bad bunnies doing it and people were trying to be like,
he's going to do it in a dress, he's going to make a statement, and it's, he's not going to speak
English. You know, it's easy to let the internet make you feel a certain type of way about it.
And I was like, yeah, what the fuck, dude? But then I'm like, dude, I didn't understand a word.
He did. And then I'm like, do I ever really listen to Aerosmith when they're playing?
What do they say? I don't know. Did I listen? Do I know what the fuck? What is Kendrick Lamar ever saying?
I don't know what he's saying.
What are any of them ever saying?
When you sing something, I don't know what you're saying.
And especially if it's live.
You can't hear it.
So if you're speaking in Spanish, I don't care.
Now, the far right was like,
what the fuck?
I'm turning on turning point.
And Kid Rock, of course, played.
And I don't care that they'd,
Did that, I watched a little bit of it.
Now, I'm not a Kid Rock fan.
I just don't, I don't care about that.
But I'm like, they're like, hell yeah,
six million people watched.
And then you go, wow.
And then you say, how many people watched the Super Bowl, though?
Oh, 140 million.
When, when, what I care?
When.
okay so oh it was the highest rated uh watching halftime show of all time oh okay oh and it was
four percent four percent of people watching go like this let's see what this turning point thing
is and by the way they're listening to it those republicans in that uh thing that kid rock was playing
they don't like that music if you're listening to the music to make a point
point, you don't like the music.
Now, I'm not saying the music's bad.
I actually didn't hear any of it.
But I saw the people in the crowd going like this.
They don't like it.
J.D. Vance maybe likes it.
Beyond that, everyone who's 70, they don't like it.
And I'm not saying it's bad music.
You know, I don't know.
It's weird to listen to music, not because you,
like it because it makes a statement it's weird to me because music should only be like
oh it sounds good so if the guy's going whippo pro when when when do i'm like oh dude this kind of rips
dude i mean listen to fucking pippa katan bega catan gen et tereen et mendo kuro are you kidding me
dude.
Eating breria tacos?
Oh, in a day I'm going to shit my brains out.
But right now, I'm dancing.
And it's like, you know, you know that those people in the suits with the red ties and just, I don't even, I don't, I wish I listened to a kid rocks.
You know, he's just like, fucking we're in America.
I don't know what he's singing.
I don't know.
I just don't listen to that kind of music.
you know i did see he's like there's a there's a book in your house that probably need some dust
enough and i and i was just like catcher nari i should read that again no he meant the bible and just people
like dude just when you this is why i didn't like any of the conier stuff people were listening to
his album for other reasons dude when you put drake on you go oh
Motherfucker, dude.
I'm like him.
I'm sitting in this couch really deep.
I'm practically getting a blowjob.
I'm so chill.
And now Bad Bunny's the new one.
So I don't give a fuck who's playing.
Like, honestly, it's sad that this thing has become,
every single thing.
thing that it has ever happened now in the past year has,
has, they, they make it political.
It's like, oh, yeah, the ham sandwich is a thing.
Oh, fuck, dude.
Well, good old America, ham sandwich.
You know, that's how, that's the roots of America.
And then liberals will be like, you could fucking put anything in bread.
This is down with the, with the, the people trying to tell us,
the patriarchy trying to make us eat ham and bread.
Are you with us or against us?
And dude, idiots are just like, I'm picking aside.
And it's like, dude, oh, actually, I don't even really eat ham sandwiches.
I don't give for.
I don't care.
Remember, Kendrick Lamar?
They were like, they're going to fucking, this is it.
This is terrible.
Reped it.
Then fucking bad, but this is terrible.
Fucking ripped it.
I swear to God next year, it's just going to be a goddamn for real.
They're a Martian.
They're going to be like, announced it.
Gravelorff.
It's going to be Grevelorff.
And they're like, all white people are just going to be like, who the fuck is Grevelorff?
And there's going to be like a few like South American motherfuckers that know, oh, you don't know him?
That's fucking Grevlor from Neptune?
Fuck, man.
And it's just going to, and he's going to rip it, dude.
He's going to come down.
He's going to be this big.
You know,
you're going to have to get like,
like the fucking,
you see watching people watching from the stadiums,
Bad Bunny.
All they saw were the,
the hedges and shit.
You're not even going to see them.
The Martian's so small,
the cameras are going to be in the way.
That's the song.
And just,
and it's going to have flavor,
too.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, it's just going to be
just,
so good
welcome
Grevlar from the planet Neptune
and by that
time dude in one year

and people are just going to be like oh shit

the Greveller is just going to like take off his
small shirt and there's going to be a tattoo that
says I love America
and everyone's going to be like
Oh, fuck.
But they're still going to be like dudes who ride motorcycles like,

I said, well, this country, they didn't even on this planet.
They want equal rights.
Just making shit up.

why I have two beautiful
children I have a great family
there's so much actually good in life
and and and and I know
it's it's it's there's
you know there's hardships for people
and
I mean this guy dude at this party
yesterday which by the way
he he was the coolest guy I met
and he was and it had nothing to do
with this
and I hate even saying this
but he was black.
And he was the coolest guy I met.
He was like one of the only black guys there.
And let me just tell you why this is funny.
Okay, first of all.
Well, actually, let me tell you this first.
He was like, man, I'm a big fan.
I was like, oh, cool, thanks so much.
He was like, that whole thing you did about this.
He named one of my bits.
And I was like, oh, that's awesome.
And he was like, and I don't mean to go down this road, but I had cancer and I came out of it.
And everything is a blessing.
And this guy's attitude.
I was just like, man, this dude is just like everybody's got shit to deal with.
and this this dude is this dude is just smiling talking to me and he beat cancer and he looked healthy
and i'm like dude yeah we all i i got shit that i'm going through that i don't even talk about on
this podcast that's hard it's just shitty you know and it's like you know just because i have respect
for people that i know and i don't want to bring it up but it's like you can look at the bad or you can
look at the good and the bad sucks it doesn't mean that if you're looking at the good the bad
doesn't suck but you know the reason why i say was like one of the only black guys is because
the party was like just so white you know like when i go to a party and it's so white i'm white
and i go wow okay well fine you know i know how to do this i know how to get in here i know
i know what's up i'll start talking about things and uh whoops i didn't wear a button down but
you know, fine.
I mean, just,
what's with white people at,
at parties where the sun's going down,
where just you will see so many toes.
Like, their feet are just out.
Why?
Why?
Why are their feet out?
Cover your fucking feet, whites.
It's disgusting.
Hey, dude, it's disgusting.
Oh, we're on grass.
You know what?
I don't get.
a fuck. Put on Airmax. Put on fucking, you know what? I'll speak a language. Put on Doc Martins.
I don't care. It's disgusting how many fucking feet are out when white people are around and the sun is
going down. It's just disgusting. And I don't mean we're at the pool. I mean it's just like,
you know, we're in a backyard. No reason for the feet to be out. Like, like, dude,
Feet have a curfew, man.
It's, you know what it is?
3 p.m.
That's the actual fucking curfew for feet.
And you're not close to,
and you're not close to sand.
And how about this, dude?
You're in a button down.
Well, where are your fucking shoes?
You're in a goddamn dress shirt.
It's light blue.
You literally got it at fucking,
whatever Brooks Brothers is.
now. Then they closed down. I don't know. But like, and, and, and you're just got, you know,
your right toe separated from the left, the rest of your toe, the rest of your foot. Are you
out of your fucking mind, dude? Why are you keeping your right toe segregated? You bitch. Put.
I, it, I'm just, I realized it the other day and I'm just like, what the fuck is with white people and just
exposing feet. Are you trying to, and I'm not into feed, but you're trying to get everybody
fucking turned on? What, what's going on? Are you trying to get the feet guided? Rock hard?
And the more money people have, the more that they got, oh, dude, I'm not even bringing shoes to the party.
When is it? 530. 530 is when the sweet spot of the party is? Sweetie, leave the shoes.
Leave the shoes. Get the button downs and the carnation shorts. Are you, what did you say? Shoes?
What'd you say, sweetheart?
The fuck out of here.
Get in the car, shoeless.
Hurt your feet on the driveway on the way to the...
What?
Okay, I'm sorry, I spoke out of turn.

It's one, two,
three, four,
five, six, seven, eight,
nine, ten, eleven, twelve.
Thirteen fucking words.
What the fuck?
Is it a Hugh Grant movie?
Dude, that's too many words
for a title.
Okay?
And two of them are hyphenated.
So really,
it's 15 words.
That's the article.
All right.
It goes like this.
This is the title of the article.
Bro.
John Lithgow's non-binary
and then in quotes,
Jimpa co-star.
I'm sorry, but okay.
So let's just break the fucking title down, all right?
John Lithgow's non-binary.
Now, now, now I'm going from, oh shit, the John Lithgow part of the title, I go, hell yeah, bro.
I, I will basically watch anything John Lithgow's in.
Okay.
John Lithgow could be in like, uh, my old home videos and I'll watch them.
And I don't like to watch them because they make me.
feel fucking weird and bad.
Even though my childhood was good,
they make me feel sad for some reason.
There I said it.
I'll watch John Lithgow in the fucking
in like a pebble documentary.
I don't.
There's so many on a black top.
I just, I'll watch it.
If he narrates it, I don't fucking,
March of the Penguins was a piece of shit thing
that they tricked us in a white top.
watching. If John Lithgow did it instead, was it Morgan Freeman, probably. If it was John Lithgow,
I'll watch it. I'll watch anything to do with John Lithgow. For some reason, he's like six,
seven, you know, for no fucking reason. Like who was the fucking gall of this guy just being around for
he's 110, you know, I love John Lithgow. All right. And like if, like if my house was on fire and
John Lithgow was over and I wasn't home.
I'd go home to get John Lithgow out of the fire just so he could do more movies.
Get him.
He's the 6-7 one for some reason.
When,
when he was a condo.
And so,
anyway,
this is the fucking headline.
So John,
I go, oh,
fuck yeah.
I'm in.
And then it,
the,
the,
the,
the title of the headline takes a drastic turn for me.
It goes, John Lithgow's non-binary.
I go, oh, fuck, dude.
That's me free falling right there.
I go, oh, shit.
I was in a plane with John Lithgow.
Now I'm out of the plane because I don't even know if I have a parachute on yet.
and then I get to, in quotes,
Jimpa, and I pull the cord,
and a bunch of fucking pots and pans come out.
Okay?
This is a fucking disaster.
John Lithgow's non-binary Jimpa co-star.
Hey, you know,
okay, says,
so this is still the title.
John Lithgow's non-binary Jimpa co-star says his Harry Potter casting feels, quote, vaguely hurtful.
Okay.
Now, my wife sent this to me and I read it.
And I genuinely didn't, I couldn't understand.
what it meant.
Like, I'm a 45-year-old smart man.
I am smart.
I can break things apart and I ask the right questions.
I use discernment.
And, you know, and I mean, I'm at a party thinking about white people's feet.
I'm smart.
Okay?
I'm smart.
I read this headline.
four times.
And I say to her,
what, wait,
what does this mean?
And she laughs and I said,
I'm actually not trying to be cute.
I don't really understand what this means.
But you know why, dude?
Do you know why?
Because of fucking Jimpa.
Okay.
Then I, you know,
I know it's a movie or a show,
but Jimpa fucks it all up.
And let me tell you why, all right?
I get that it's a movie.
And I get that the co-star from Jimpah has a problem.
When it says Harry Potter, I go, okay, I'm at my limit with how many fucking movies and shows this is talking about.
Don't bring Jimpah into it.
Because Harry Potter is world famous and Jimpah is nothing.
Right now, at this point, jimp is nothing.
Now, it may be the next trilogy.
But right now, it's fucking nothing.
All right?
Bleep that out.
Also, here's the major part I didn't understand.
Hurtful, I understand.
Vaguely hurtful.
I don't understand.
And here's why.
That's not news.
It's vaguely hurtful when people do basically anything.
You know why?
We're all shitty.
Okay?
I was in line today somewhere.
And I got, I, I, I, um, I didn't cut someone, but like I, I'm, I took the initiative.
Oh, it was the, uh,
mailbox. It was my UPS. I went there. We both walked in at the same time. This guy had a big package. I just needed to get my mail. I walked in and I was assertive and I said, can I get my mail? I knew my thing was going to be quicker. And he was dilly dallying. I don't now he could have, that man could have been like, oh, fuck, that's vaguely hurtful. And also, here I am going,
Oh, fuck.
I hope that guy's not vaguely hurtful.
So technically, I'm vaguely hurt, too.
All right?
So this is nothing.
And they're reporting on it.
Okay?
John Lithgow, let me just do the, what do you call?
The visual scope of this title.
John Lithgow's non-binary jimpocococos.
star. Okay, now it's off the screen. You can't see it. Harry says his Harry Potter, it goes up a little bit,
because we all know what that is. Casting feels vaguely hurtful. We're way down here at the bottom left
at the end of this. Okay. Pots and pans are hitting us as we're splatting on the ground.
You know, you die splatting on the ground, jumping out of the airplane, and in a minute,
you're going to get hit with some Teflon. It just sucks for you. Okay.
Okay. And so I'm like, what does this mean? And so Kristen said, so John Lithgow was in a thing called Jimpa, and somebody that worked on that was trans. And he's upset vaguely that John Lithgow is in Harry Potter because J.K. Rawlings is against trans people.
or turf, you know, thinks women should piss in women's rooms, basically.
I don't know how to say it.
And then I'm like, you got to be fucking kidding me.
You got to be kidding me.
First of all, let me just, there's so much brass tacks in this to get down to that I can't
even fucking believe it.
All right?
Non-binary actor, I guess the guy's name is, or person's name.
I don't know, guy, whatever, I don't even
he has a dick or what, but odd Mason
Hyde. That doesn't help.
You know, it's like Pat on fucking
SNL. Who came to see John Lithgow as
in some capacity, a mentor
while starring,
you know, no shit, dude.
He's 1806,7, and the dude
who brought you, hello, Mr.
Dexter Morgan. Fucked it out. Wow.
Anyway, while
starring as his character's grandchild in Jimpah, God, that fucking, I don't care why it's called Jimpa,
change it. You know, I don't give a fuck. I won't find out. It's like when Dennis Miller,
one of the fucking, I think this shaped my comedy. I'm being honest with you guys in a way.
I think when I was younger, this moment that I caught, I am so happy I caught it. I am so happy I caught
because I think it truly shaped my comedy.
And I thank Dennis Miller for it.
He came out on his fucking show,
whatever it was on HBO.
Dennis Miller Live,
or whatever the fuck.
And he came out and the first,
you know what I'm going to say, right?
The first thing he said in his monologue
after everyone was like, oh, yeah, yeah.
He's standing there and he goes,
Jumanji.
And I lost it because I go, oh my God, dude, with one made up word, this motherfucker made fun of a whole industry, culture.
I mean, it was, I go, no.
And everyone laughed.
And I go, it was, you know, it was when this movement.
movie Jumanji was coming out.
Way back when with with with with,
uh, not Kevin Hart and the rock,
the remake, the original one.
And, and then now like anytime I, I,
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
shaped the way I, I'm just like,
jimpa.
And there is right. This is another movie where it's called that.
Like, like, somebody who knows Dennis Miller out there,
thank him for me.
for that one single moment.
Please.
Anyway, he admitted his casting in the HBO series feels vaguely hurtful.
He is such an incredibly talented actor,
but also such a beautiful human to make...
I fucking hate the way actors talk, dude.
I just...
I understand sometimes it's interesting
to see how they made, you know,
Batman.
or train dreams.
But shut the fuck up.
You know what it is?
What I want people to take home from this?
And it's such a beautiful...
Shut up, dude.
This whole shit was green screened.
Oh, yeah?
Really?
Mark Ruffalo's an amazing person.
Hey, shut up.
You know?
Jumanji.
And so now I'm like looking at this and I'm like,
this isn't even an article.
Look at this.
Last April, Lithgow was cast as Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter,
which comes from writer showrunner Francesca Gardner,
Gardiner, Gardner, and executive producer alongside Mark Middle,
who will direct multiple episodes for HBO in association with the Brunt
tape film and TV and Warner
Brothers television. Dude, they can't just make a fucking thing
without involving 900 companies now.
It's like, yeah,
have you seen the movie that fucking
the new Paramount Delta Landolakes film?
You're like, what?
Does they make butter?
No, but they do movies too now.
They're fucking, yeah, you have to theater.
Dam-a-Paramount.
did ding ding
Delta
um
d'bant dung
d'ang
Landau lakes
with the fucking Indian
then they get
rid of the
Land of Lakes guy
and then the fucking
right gets so mad
and Trump
puts out a tweet
that says
I won't eat
fucking Land of Lakes
butter anymore
and I won't
watch that fucking
those shit movies
they made
and people
will go like
yeah that's my
fucking president
even though he
eight baby feet.
I don't, so this is what this person said.
I don't think it's worth speaking to John's reasoning by any means,
but I do also think that it's a strange decision for sure,
and also I found it disconcerting maybe is the right word.
Yeah, that's fine for that person to feel that way, by the way.
But here's how John Lithgow accepts a role.
Okay.
You think he's thinking to everybody he knows in his life that feels a certain way about the guy
would be in fucking no movies.
He's just in shit.
You think John Lithgow is like, well, what's it about?
He doesn't give a fuck.
They go, you know, Harry Potter, and he goes, I think so.
John Lithgow, this is how that goes.
Hey, uh, this is how that goes.
that goes hey you know you're a co-star from jimpa and and and uh john lithgow says jimpa
the tv show and they go it was a movie he says oh yeah did people like it and then you say oh it didn't come out
yet he says oh okay anyway your co-star from that movie from that movie yeah which one the
Are you talking about the boy, the little boy?
Well, he's trans.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
So he's a vaguely, there was an article just letting you know that there's an article that is in the paper, in the paper.
Well, there's no paper anymore, but online on deadline.
And it's saying that he's hurt, he's hurt that you took the job for, for Jimpa?
No, no.
For Harry Potter.
Oh, yes.
People like that?
Well, no, the show that you've accepted, not the movie.
Right, right.
Yeah.
And they're upset because, a little boy.
No, the, yeah, the person, yes.
So they're upset because J.K. Rowlings is a turf,
and she doesn't like to, she doesn't believe that trans is like a real thing.
and then
John Lithgow goes
Who's J.K. Rowlings?
He's just doing...
Is her name just kidding?
What the fuck is that?
I know J.K. the other one in the drum movie.
Simmons?
Yeah, that one.
He's great in the fucking commercials.
How come we can have actors
in commercials now?
And it's like, remember when Bruce Willis
needed to
fly to Japan to do sunglasses ads because if he did it in America, everyone would have thought
he was a loser.
And now you got like fucking Jesus hawking Rosetta Stone in between fucking the pit.
When you want to learn a language, use Rosetta Stone next week on the pit.
It's fucking it takes.
next week on the pit
every hour is an hour
it's like one of those shows where the time is the time
the time is actually time
the pit like the fucking first show
like that show the 24
every minute is the minute that it happens
oh yeah who gives the fuck yeah no that's true
but anyway it's good
the pit
from fucking the guy who you forgot about
in the ER
What the fuck?
How can he just be in a TV show now
All of a sudden after 30 years
Just stopping and then starting again?
What the fuck, dude?
Like, he's got no business being a star
Of a show now.
What?
The guy missed his...
Nope, he didn't miss his shot.
Here he is again in basically the same fucking show.
But it's called The Pit.
And it's also every hour is...
Every minute that ticks by is the same...
is it takes a minute in the show.
If it takes a minute in the show,
it takes a minute in the fucking real life,
the pit.
God, how many pit fucking shows
are there going to be
the next few years?
I'm so pissed already.
See, you know what?
I got to chill.
I got to take my feet out.
It's unbelievable.
Who's J.K. Rawlings?
Is that the one with the drum movie?
What?
The one with the drum movie
with the kid who's in that fucking movie.
You know, the kid plays the drummer.
the kid in the movie where they have the house party and it's found footage the fuck are you
talking about what's that movie not well whiplash but then the movie that the kid the what's that
kid's name the man he's a man miles teller and then he is in uh that todd phillips movie that
