Welcome to Doughboys Double. I'm Nick Weigher along with a Spoon Man, Mike Mitchell. Yarr my good man. Yarr. Yarr. Yarr. Yarr. Yarr. How was your cookie? Our guest already has his head in both hands. He's covering his face completely with both hands. He can't look at how. I was like, I warn you, this is hacky and not fun. And he was like, no, it's fun. And now he's seeing it in action and seeing how much it sucks. Yarked dough bar chest. Yo, dough, yo, dough, a pirate's bite for me a month of pirate themed eating, drinking and revelry. And we are talking about a pirate theme special today. Weig's next year, the theme is robot month.

I'm into that. Should I alter the normal cadence of my voice at all? No, just kind of talk the same. Okay, great. With us for this, for this particular voyage, this leg of the journey from the great north on Fox, all hail Rupert Murdoch, as well as the podcast song a week. And with gorely and rust, our buddy Paul Rust. Hi, Paul. Hi, Paul. Hi, Nick. Hi, bitch. Paul, wasn't it weird? How wasn't it weird how Nick said all hail Rupert Murdoch? Wasn't that strange? Yeah, I guess that must be some program deep in Nick that like when he hears a code word, anything that is Fox programming. All hail Rupert Murdoch.

No, you don't feel that way. I know you don't, Nick. And also, guys, I had in my mind, I was like, you know, it'd be really funny if at the beginning I came in, I was like, gentlemen, hello, just like, understated. I got so excited. I couldn't do it. So hello, hi, guys. I give or make it time for us. Y'all are one of my good men. Of course, always a pleasure to get to talk to buddies. Just just really funny, funny friends. God bless you. Paul, we won't make you do any hacky pirate stuff, but you can't. I'm all for it. I was covering my face in the best of ways. We will ask you for a pirate name before the episode is done. That's all. That's all which

could just be, you know, Pirate Pauly could be all it is. I mean, that could be it right there. It doesn't have to be anything, anything too early. Pirate Pauly is great. All right, Pirate Pauly. Oh, Pauly, like a pirate's other friend. Yes, a little bird on the shoulder. So I could be a parrot that both of you guys share. Perfect. One little claw on each shoulder. Yeah, like in an action movie when somebody straddles like two cars. Oh, guys, we should we should really write that action thriller script we've been meaning to so we can just have dense paragraphs describing how one body is held between two moving cars. Yeah, I love that. The thing is that we each bring a certain dynamic

to the action script is Nick is like really good with like the intense sexual like the like the scenes where there's like kind of like like any romance like Nick is really good at that stuff. Yeah, because you got to have that in action thriller. There's got to be the sequence where they get it on. For me, I'm really good with the gun stuff and then like any stuff about guns or like what the guns look like if they look really cool. And then Paul, you're really good with the car straddling scenes. Yes, it's kind of your specialty, which we'll have a few of it. I only write one page or two pages of the script. But it's mostly Nick. It's really good. Really romantic actions. Yeah, and we specify it by having Nick's pages be in red for romance.

And in Mitch's blue, like the blue tint of a revolver. Yeah, and yours are white, like to complete the flag. Right. Yeah, because our scripts are always deep down patriotic. They're very patriotic. Frankly, have a kind of a right wing slam. That's why we started things off with the All Hail Rupert Burdock. Well, I think you'll find that as a running trope in, you know, action movies is just sort of a totalitarian authoritarian streak. There's there's a tendency towards, you know, the police and the military are good and righteous, and we need them to take extra legal measures in order to protect us, the regular citizenry. And I think we do that mainly for market reasons. That way, the right side likes the content. And then the left side goes,

they, what do they do? They scratch their chins and go, Oh, it's satire, satire. We can really satire. Yes, yes, yes. Yes, we're laughing all the way. Laughing all the way to the bank. I was gonna say all the way to the bank. Yeah. Wags, what are you gonna say? You're gonna say you're gonna say them saying satire. Go on. I was just gonna say they're like, they're like, hmm, I go to the opera for high art. And when I want some low art, I go watch an action movie, which I know is satire. Yes, yes, yeah. I love the opera. I'll see you guys there probably next week, right? When they do a production of, of, um. Carmen? Carmen!

Well, I also want to be clear that since you write your lines in white, our paper is jet black. We have really black paper. It's very dark paper. Yeah. Very cool. So that your sentences will show up on the page. We order special black paper. Just the thought like I just, you know, you think about Miramax just receiving like in their script submissions are like, what's this black script? Like all the other scripts are white. This one's black. What's going on? They're like, I'm, look, I'm gonna read this one. And then they read through it and their minds are blown. We're submitting to Miramax? We're sending this to Miramax. Yeah. The Weinstein company, is that correct? They're also getting it.

Isn't the, isn't, isn't Miramax, though, isn't that created by the Weinsteins? It was. Yeah. Now, then they should have their own thing. Oh no. Oh no. I tried to contact the paper company and they ran out of black paper because Metallica is back on tour and they needed a gift for their set list. Of course. Oh, of course, of course. Lars fetched me another bushel of black paper. Then I shall go watch an action film, which is satire. Yes. Fucking Lars. Hey, this is kind of. Was that James Hetfield? Yeah. No, no, that was Lars already. No, that was Lars. Nobody, but he said Lars. So he was talking to himself. He was talking to himself. That's how egotistical he is. Yeah, he's a fucking, fucking monster. Oh, I was just

going to say as opposed to what this, this has all been on the point and this is off the point. But is there any man not just in rock and roll, but on the face of the planet and throughout the universe who has more of a fuckface fuck than Lars Ulrich? I just want to slap that fuckface. Wow. I'm alone. I want him to slap Lars Ulrich across the face. No, here's the thing. Your connection went out for a couple seconds. So what I heard is like, he's he's a kind of fuck and then like fuckface. Like I just heard that. That's also what I heard. I was trying to piece together what you said. Okay. Oh no. Is that the first time that happened? Yeah, we've never had connected issues on the podcast before. And Paul, you know,

I'm going to be honest with you. It's better we didn't hear because we love Lars and we're pissed off. We love Lars. Well, here's what happened. Like you didn't give a response. So I was like, whoa, I've really crossed the line here. Metallica heads. I am a Metallica fan. I do like Metallica, but I don't you know, Lars, whatever, fucking he's he's he's not he can be an okay drummer when he when he puts the effort in, but he's so often just kind of a lazy lazy man behind his kit. And he's just annoying, annoying as shit when he talks. You know what happened is that Lars was listening through Napster. He was listening to Paul through Napster. Because he owns he owns Napster now. And so he slowed he slowed down your internet when you

were when you were talking shit about him. That's what he did. Oh, my God, I have my application open. Yeah. Yeah. That's why that happened. We should have told you to shut up before the podcast. You got to shut down Napster before you start recording. I I have all I said was that Lars Ulrich's face is a total he has a total fuck face. He's just like a complete fuck face. Well, I agree with that. I also at the same time, they were kind of right about Napster, right? Like that's the hard thing for me is like, that's why everyone he does have a fuck face. But they everyone was so mad at them. Everyone was so mad about him about Napster. And then they were kind of right is the only weird thing about that. Also, what are you downloading right

now on Napster, Paul? Do you have a do you have a list of a few songs? I hear you on the Lars thing outside of the Napster stuff, though. He just looks like a guy, you know, yeah, him and Billy Ripken, him and Billy Ripken look like they have complete fuck faces. Billy Ripken, at least it was called out. Yeah, at least it was written on his bat. Yeah. Oh, but what I've been downloading on Napster is bad. Mm hmm. So like tenacious D live cuts. Hmm. That's about I got mine open to I'm downloading some spooky Halloween noises for the holiday. That's fun. Oh, what is the life feed from C span? Sorry, I get political just around the season. What were you saying, Nick?

I was just saying I'm downloading supply and 40 ounces of to freedom. Was that your I confessed an original Napster download? Was that yours, too, Nick? No, that was like the kind of thing. Yeah, 100% downloading supply. And then and then it was like it was something to be mislabeled. So you're actually getting Lincoln Park or whatever. There was one song that was like always it was like it was always the same. I feel like like a corn song or something that you'd end up it would be mislabeled as a bunch of different songs. Hey, every ever giving all honest Napster downloads. I'm downloading the Lilliewight Sessions by the Dave Matthews. There you go. There you go. The unreleased album.

Back to your back to your point about Lars. The mistake the mistake was that Metallica made their tactical error is it's just like he's kind of their leader, right? He's like kind of the Metallica leader and he's their mouthpiece. But he is like an annoying guy with an annoying face. And he has this preachy way of talking. And so by making him the mouthpiece of that cause made them seem very like it just it set the public against it. And also like at the time the public was just like, this is great free stuff. And there wasn't really like this these massive media corporations that were profiting off of it, right now because like right now the situation with like stream with like streaming music is that there's no way for artists

to make any revenue at all from recorded music. Like it basically all has to come from touring or from other means. And so they were ahead of the curve in that way. But it came across as like here's this greedy preachy millionaire who's worried about his profits when all these people who are broke are just trying to download some music for free. I think the tactical mistake was both putting Lars front and center and then also not focusing on independent artists and you know, like, like, like, like, hey, we're Metallica, we're not worried about our profits. Because Lars always seemed like he was worried about like, like, like they're stealing from us, but could have been more like, hey, they're stealing from these, these independent artists,

these smaller artists, these, these, you know, whatever the these, these upstart like hip hop artists and, and you know, folk music artists who like maybe don't have as large of an audience as we do and are reliant on digital music or CD sales for their revenue. I don't know. Mitch and Nick, you're both right. Not right now. Have I heard two, two, two points of view so well expressed. Nick turned into a Lars. He fucking lectured us there for a few seconds on fucking Lars. That's the issue though. Like Lars, no, like, I can, I can do the same thing. I can be annoying. I can be kind of, you know, preachy and annoying. Yeah.

You guys know, no, no, no. Anna, like it is crazy that he was the mouthpiece for the time for something that good golly, it still affects us to this day at 100%. Well, I was going to say this. Yeah. What? Do you hear about Elon Musk? The billionaire? Yeah. He, he, he sent Lars to Mars. Is that true?

He sent Lars to Mars. He just sent Lars to Mars. You said just sent. Like this just happened? Yeah. Like while we're recording? It was, it was payback for Napster. He was, he was pissed off about Napster. He sent Lars to Mars. So he like kidnapped him. He's like, you went after Napster. I'm the kid Napster. Lars you're going to Mars. Not since Carlsberg. Have we gotten such a more startling news update?

Is that what it was? Carlsberg? It was Car, yeah. I forgot about Carlsberg. It was Carlsberg. We were on pins and needles that night and Mitch was like, oh, oh, oh, Trump did win Carlsberg. It was completely silent. And I think you hear Mitch's mom in the background go, what? Universal confusion. It was the only time, it was the only time Carlsberg had turned red was that election. It had been blue.

Keep it going. There's more facts about Carlsberg. We'll get to those eventually. Yeah, there was some fraud. There was some voter fraud in Carlsberg. We'll leave it at that. Paul, speaking of Napster, do you like pirate stuff? Oh, you mean stuff from the early 2000s? I mean, I think it was saying because there's music piracy is involved. Piracy. So I'm saying, do you like piracy? Do you like pirates? I was trying to get into the theme month.

That was a good segue. Do you like pirates? Are you a fan of pirate movies? Do you like Pirates of the Caribbean, which we Nick and I rode with Kyle Mooney for double? I love this question. Pirate costumes. Pirate costumes. Look, we know that doing a pirate voice is not the forefront of comedy, but do you like pirates? Do you like Swiss family Robinson? Do you like stuff like that or no?

Okay, I'm not a snob to you guys doing it. I love it. I know. I know you are. And, you know, there is, we know, you know, the BBC office style of discomfort comedy. But there is, we got a, there's some new world and you're doing a pirate voice and it makes me feel uncomfortable and I think that's worth exploring. The fact that I get, I feel such a visceral reaction from it. I think. Well, no, we're calling it out because we are embarrassed to do it in front of you.

That's the only reason. Well, you played a pirate in a guy talk in that guy talk we did. That's right. So was that what was it called random bits of random random bits of randomness? Bits of randomness. That's what it was. Yes. Very funny. So as far as pirates go, I'm going to, I'm going to, this isn't a hot take.

This is a long holding take, but we'll have the, oh, the controversy, controversy of a hot take, which is I have a really difficult time hooking into movies or TV shows or the I don't want to say culture because that's too broad of a word. Whatever historical period, story based, story based historical period stuff. Yeah. It's really hard for me. I really like, I hook into contemporary stuff, obviously, and then near future, future stuff like that sort of world building I really love.

Do you not like the Pirates of the Caribbean ride? That is that now I wonder. Well, the ride is a different story because I like that kind of, but I'll say this, if I had to pick a world in Disneyland that I had to like live in, it wouldn't be the New Orleans Pirates of the Caribbean world. That's not, you know, in a similar category that you can love many things, but you love something a little more. Yeah.

I would put that. What world would you live in? Paul Rust has been our guest for today. Paul, do you have anything you want to plug before we let you go? That's a long way of saying something has to be great in that world for me to appreciate it. And I do appreciate it, but it is. It has to be well executed like the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. I mean, hook is a piece of shit.

Hook sucks. This is a bad movie. I think I'm going to, I'll say this, I kind of get where you're coming from. Because although I like like a historical epic, like I, you know, like I'm just movies that are recently in my mind that are in this genre. It's Spartacus. Like I was like, this is fucking great. The Woman King.

I was like, this is fucking great. This is extremely my shit. But when it starts to be like, hey, this is this is more just historical fiction for the sake of it. Like, like, OK, so. You love Pirates of the Caribbean, though. I mean, I love Pirates of the Caribbean historical fiction. I know I love Pirates of the Caribbean fiction. I like the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

I think those are I think they're a lot of fun. I was going to say like more what it's more something like a Mad Men or the Queen's Gambit where it's like this took place in the past, but it's also not real. I sometimes have a disconnect where I'm like where I'm just like, this is bullshit. And I'm just not invested in it emotionally if that makes any sense. So I think I think that may be similar to what you're describing with, you know, like a movie like Gladiator or something.

You're making me realize I said too broad of a category. Certainly there are exceptions of like historical stuff that I like, period stuff that I love. And also, I guess it might be I might put that category more in the it's like pre industrial revolution stuff. After that, that's period I can get into, you know, like Godfather part two 20 stuff that it can go as far early turn of the century stuff. It can go as far back as that.

But like if I had to think about it, I think it's because deep down I just I like things to be a little kind of clean and tidy. And when things are just like the part of the world building is that like you could get a and I know it's part of the thing to make it feel real. It has to feel like a rat could like make you die with its disease and stuff. But like living in that world, it's just I can't I can't totally like feel good. And yeah, and I know it has to be that. But like Robocop, that's the best.

Even if that's nasty in a way, I like it's nasty. But the cars look different than ours. Robocop rules, a diagonal argument there. I pulled out a really bad argument under there by going like, and I like Robo. That's like the San Dimas high school football rules of a queen. A queen's gambit isn't in the MCU. I thought that was a Marvel show.

I think it is now. I think they're retrofitting it. They're going to record this. But yeah. Yeah, but I want you to do this for me. I got you back. Mona me. Paul, I remember my lines from random bits of random.

I'm too sexy for this parrot, too sexy for this parrot. I remember that was a part of it. And I was like, so funny. You're making me remember too. I'm too sexy for this ninja. Oh, that's right. The pirate talks about a ninja. Yes, which is basically that's basically what this theme month has been.

But you know what? When we're thinking at the perfect, there's all kind of aligned that this is the Halloween double. We're closest to that. We're closest to Halloween. We got the orange kid, your old friend, the orange kid, and a spooky ghost tale. And you know what? Not just any ghosts, pirate ghosts, wigs.

This is a pirate ghost. Yeah, I do want to get into this. But before we go any further, just have another update for us. You may know the Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett, Lee guitarist. Yes. Apparently Elon Musk has sent him to space, turned him into Captain Kirk Hammett. So I just yeah. He's something's going on.

Here's my question with him in that band. Look, this is just me here, but I think it's kind of crazy that Elon Musk is just grabbing people and sending them off into space. Well, this is a thing where there's this billionaire class. Yeah, they just this billionaire class, they play by different rules. It's like they're that you reach a point where accumulate enough capital, you're effectively above the law. And again, like we're talking about with with action movies earlier,

when you lionize a character like Tony Stark, who is a billionaire and a war profiteer, you're basically saying like, this is what this is what this is what we need is our savior. This is what we want. We need someone who has so much money that they can operate in a space where they they answer to no one. They are their own, you know, they are basically they're a despot due to just their accumulation of capital.

And as such, they can impose their own order on society. And that's a good thing. And you know what? I like it because it's satire. Yeah, I like satire too. Love satire. It's my favorite kind of parody. Speaking of fuck faces, Elon maybe is right up there with Lars.

Major fuck face on Elon. Yeah, major league. Yeah, yeah. He's on the Mount fuck face rush more face. You got to admit that exact wording, that exact wording. It's Lars. Let's see, Lars, Elon, who else has a big time fuck face? Maybe maybe maybe YouTuber Fred.

Yeah, it's like he's got a big time fuck face. YouTube sensation, Fred. Yeah, I think Fred Fred's got a kind of a fuck face. It's something about the lips kind of coming to like a princely almost lord fontoroy pout. Yes. This show is brought to you by BetterHelp. You know, Mitch, I learned something new about myself recently.

I learned I can stick to a bedtime routine. I can go to the bed at bed at the same time and wake up at the same time every day and stick to that. Because getting to know yourself can be a lifelong process, especially because we're always growing and changing, especially in recent years. That's right, Lars. Therapy is all about deepening your self-awareness and understanding because sometimes we don't know what we want or why we react the way we do

until we talk through things. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist who can take you on that journey of self-discovery from wherever you are.

I think that it's helpful to say what's on your mind

and you feel like you've gotten it off your chest and you can go and live your day, if that makes sense.

Paul, speaking of fucked faces, have you been watching any scary spooky movies for the Halloween season?

You watch them all the time on your other podcast. Oh, that's right. Yes. Let me think of something that I watched recently that was... I got a big list going of spooky movies that I haven't seen. This is in the last couple of weeks, but I will say this. Oh, and also, yeah, the Garfield Special is a total world's colliding sit, which is very awesome that I have it with the pirates and the garbage.

Wow. It's pretty incredible. Wow. But if people are looking for something, the last horror movie that I watched that, like, I was pretty nasty and grisly and mean was this movie, The Prowler from, like, 1982. I've heard of The Prowler. Yeah. Is that a movie Tarantino liked? Was he talking about that recently on a podcast? I don't know. The Prowler is, like, this movie.

The director of who did The Fright 13th Part 4. It was his movie before that. And the makeup effects are Tom Savini and stuff. So that's cool. I love Savini. Hey, Savini, a bloody genie. Oh, Jesus. Oh. Well, no, very similar to that, Mitch.

I did just get a news update. Billionaire, Leon Musk, Elon Musk. He has sent a member of Metallica to outer space. Oh, my God. Yep. James Starfield. Oh, my God. James Headfield is now James Starfield. I guess. I guess.

Thanks, Elon. Fucking Elon's out of control. Isn't there? What are we going to do there? Isn't there a Star Trek? Isn't there a Captain? Is there a James? Is it Picard?

James T. Kirk. James T. Kirk. Wow. Do you think that Gene Roddenberry planned for all the members of Metallica to be the names of the captains of the Star Trek? You know, what's weird is that the T stands for Trujillo, which, of course, Metallica's basis is Robert Trujillo. So it is three different.

This is fucked up. It's a family thing. It's James Trujillo, Kirk. It's fucking nepotism bullshit. It's fucking nepotism. Yeah. This is fucking bullshit. That's how they got their start.

I mean, it's disgusting, but, you know, that's how the world works. It's how the music industry works. I also, I got some news, too, that just came through. Oh, wow. Elon Musk. Yes? He sent Tom Savini into space.

Now he's sending Savini into space? What happened? If you're going to lay down the Tom Metallica member card, you've got to be, I've got to come to kill to mix two metaphors there. When you come for the king, you best... What's Tom Savini's name now? Or what was his destination? Because also Lars was sent to Mars.

That's another option. Savini. Mars already. Savini got sent to Vini, which is a short for Venus. Wow. Tom Savini's. That's so crazy. Tom Savini's.

That's really funny. Okay, okay. Oh, really? I was hoping that you guys... This is really just staggering news. I just was hoping that, like, when Paul's internet went out, I think that's when you heard that delay, it was the same thing that happened with me, is that I just had a delay.

And I said, I immediately said Tom Savini's. Oh, you did? Right away, okay. Yeah, right away. Okay, got it. If Emma recorded it on my end, with my own recording, you heard, you will hear, the biggest guffaw I laughed so hard at Tom Savini's.

Well, that's why it took me so long to say Savini's, because I had said it right away. But then if there was any delay that you guys heard from me, it was the internet. Anyway, so moving on to the orange kid. The paw at hand, or the task at paw. Why did I say paw at hand? This is, I'm sorry, I know we have this special to discuss.

Yes, but apparently Elon Musk has moved on from members of Metallica, from heavy metal musicians, to Oscar-winning makeup artists. Yeah, it's strange. He apparently now has abducted Stan Winston and sent him into space. I don't know. He's now Stan Winstar. Oh my God. I think my internet might have gone out for a second.

Okay, okay, okay. I guess I do have- Let's settle down, guys. You're getting a little too silly. I guess I do have one further question. Besides the whole thing about, besides the whole thing about Elon kidnaping people and sending them to space against their will, which is huge, a huge part of it.

The other thing is that Stan Winston became, became Stan Winstar? That's what they're calling him now. His name changed. His name changed. That's the pattern so far. That's what's happening, these guys. No, I'm just questioning on, I'm saying it's strange that their names change, that Tom Savini became Tom Savini.

You know what's crazy is like, similarly, and this is just, I just got this update, Michelle Burke. You may not know the name, but you certainly know Michelle's work. Michelle Burke, yeah, I got it. Coneheads. Also, the Bram Stoker's Dracula, and perhaps most famously, Fat Bastard from the Austin Powers franchise was a Michelle Burke creation. Yeah.

Anyway, Michelle Burke has been sent into orbit, and as a result, Fat Bastard is now Fat Bastard. Wow. Get in my galaxy. He's got a big asteroid, I mean. Oh, my good golly. We got to get on to the special. I agree. That's what I'm talking about.

But I just opened up my news, my comedy news app. The foot of your die news app. I don't know if you remember it, Dick. Yeah, I know, I remember that. I opened up the funnier died news app, and I got some more bad news is that Elon Musk has moved on to Coneheads, and he sent Dan Ackroyd into space. And you know what? Yeah.

You know what they call it, Dan Ackroyd? I make a big guess, but I think I think you know what it is. Do you want me to tell you? Yes. Is it Dan Asteroid? Dan Ackstar. You know, he likes conspiracy theories. He's probably likes this.

Yeah, he's like, oh, good. I smell a Men in Black Five sequel. Wait, he wasn't in that, but I say that because Men in Black didn't seem like a combination of Blues Brothers and Ghostbusters. 100%, yeah. Dan Ackroyd should have gotten residual payments for that. He should have gotten it. They sent Dan Ackroyd into space with a big bottle of Crystal Skull Vodka,

so he was like, OK with it. Yeah, he was fine. Yeah, he was happy. Met you joke. I know this has all been joking, but Dan Ackroyd actually did for a promotion get sent up with his Crystal Skull Vodka to promote it. He went up in a spaceship with it to orbit the earth.

Oh, wow. And that's impressive. I think the idea was that he was going to have a bottle of vodka for each of the continents. So sure. It was the vodka of Planet Earth. I guess was the idea. But when he got up and he went into orbit outside in outer space, the case of vodka broke open.

Oh, no. And the vodka bottles, they also broke open. Oh, man. The vodka formed into one sort of cube floating in midair. Dan Ackroyd befriended it. Oh, he became friends with the cube. Yeah. So don't joke about it, Mitch.

But the idea was that it gained some sort of sentience from being in orbit. Got it. Maybe like the electromagnetic waves that were coming in and out of orbit from satellites. I think so. OK, that makes sense. It's kind of sad. Well, yeah. And then there was a box breakage.

And then the bottles also all broke. Yeah, that was already bad. Yeah. Yeah. The bottles, I mean, trying to catch one bottle for each continent already its own thing. But then you just got loose liquid and zero gravity. But I guess it's probably good that they clustered it into a cube. Oh, by the grace of God.

Yeah. Because it could have gotten in all the electrical panels or whatever on the station. Yeah. And they'll tell you that it was a miracle. That shouldn't have happened. Scientifically, it doesn't make sense that it forwarded to a cube and became sentient. Do you know the other weird thing is that when he got when he was getting sent up to space, he was like, please let me wear the nose from nothing but trouble.

And they let him put on the nose. They were like, they're like, it's not your helmet might not fit over this. And he was like, I don't care. Like, OK, you're the boss. Hey, can I say for the record, just regarding Dan Aykroyd, I feel like I was I've been a little snot about him. I've come fully around. I love Dan Aykroyd.

Wow. Wow. And I think he is just a person. Who is just bursting with ideas. And truly, and like, like I said, you know, men in black wouldn't have existed unless they kind of married two ideas of his. But like, I think he set the course of like what comedies were doing for the next he's a cool dude. I like him.

Yeah, I'm pro. I'm pro Aykroyd, which is why it kind of bumps me out. Also pro life. Yeah, that comes part and parcel. Yeah, that's part of it. But I, you know, honestly, because I wasn't I was I was I was with I was with a bunch of pro livers in front of like City Hall, but I was there pro Aykroyd. I was good.

So if we see photos. Yeah, it was it was pro Aykroyd. What were you going to say, Nick? Oh, I was just saying, like, I, you know, we're all pro Aykroyd. And that's why it makes me sad to tell you guys this. Elon Musk is at it again. Oh, no. He's up to his tomfoolery.

He's up to his tomfoolery. And maybe he's like, I don't know if he's listening to a live feed of this. I don't know if he's just it just is following the same train of thought. But he's moved on because Dan Aykroyd, you know, went up to space earlier famously as we were discussing, he's sending Blues Brothers into space. And he got John Goodman from Blues Brothers 2000. Wow. Send him up there.

John Goodman, now John Spaceman. Yeah, so great, great character actor. I hope he's OK up there. I hope he's OK, too. He is a great character actor and I hope he's OK, too. John. One of our best. Spaceman.

I heard that when when Dan Aykroyd, like they can communicate with through home, like they can communicate back home and like over a video feed. And Dan Aykroyd was talking to someone. It was just in his other the other side of the video feed was no one was there. But then it turned out that he was actually talking to the ghost from Ghostbusters that sucked him off. She was. She they stay like connected later on.

Got it. So he had a satellite connection to Earth, which is where the ghost who sucked him off lives. And she was able to use it to talk to him. But no one else could see it. That is Solaris. It is Solaris. Does he go up into space and see the ghost of his past love? It's a little bit like Solaris, which is.

I haven't seen it, mind you. I was too busy seeing Eight Mile when Steven Silver and Solaris was in theaters. I heard that. Akroyd like was laughing and was like, it's kind of like Solaris while he was on the video. Yeah. I heard that too. We all heard that. And we all heard that.

Paul, to get back to the paw at hand. Have you ever seen how Dan Aykroyd referenced Solaris when he was talking? To the ghost of Ghostbusters years later. Oh, who sucked him off? We all know that. Anyway, yes. Yes, Mitch. Back to the paw at hand, Dwigs.

The orange kid. Paul, have you ever seen the Garfield Halloween special? Because I loved it as a kid. And then when I was watching it, I was like, this sucks. And I wanted to go back in time and kick little Mitchie's ass if I could. But then as the special went on, I kind of did enjoy it. And it is, I think in the end, kind of good. But we'll talk about it.

I mean, we're about 50 minutes into the episode. The pirate theme month episode where we talked about Elon Musk sending people into space. Were we supposed to not talk about it? Yeah, we're just saying that. Are we supposed to ignore it? It would be effed up if we were getting these news updates, then we weren't sharing them and talking about them in real time. That is, they're true.

As silly as they come off sounding. And we apologize for the tittering when we get these news updates. They sound silly to us. I mean, I don't know. I'm sure if you're listening, it's probably very serious. You know, you've heard this news. That's also what's messed up. You know, later when this becomes a controversy, they'll pull out specific parts.

Of us laughing. Of us laughing and making comments. And not our remarks saying we're nervous about it. So it's funny does. Yes, this is this is the grotesque. Because what can you do except laugh, you know, when you're faced with something so horrifying? But they'll just collapse that context. I just, yeah, I don't want to.

I wish I didn't have to make this clear. But we are living in 2022. And obviously we're we're not for. We're not making light of Elon Musk doing this and having it be done to people. No. In case any of the listeners feel uncomfortable knowing that maybe we would before that. I'm not. I don't think Lars should go to the stars, for example.

Yeah, I agree. I like Lars down here on solid ground. Thank you. Even if it doesn't rhyme. Yeah, right. That's where I want him. I want him down here with us where Paul, where he can watch the Garfield Halloween special. Oh, yeah.

Have you seen it ever, Paul? I have seen it. I watched it when I was a kid and I liked it a lot. And I think they reared it maybe a couple of times to be able to see it as much as was possible. And also, Mike Cassidy and I, we do on our podcast, we'll do some bonus episodes sometimes where we do these Wizard of Oz, Pink Floyd, Syncups, where we're like, oh my gosh, this jam session we recorded years ago just happens to sync with this Garfield special. So we've done about five of these now and we did one for the Garfield special.

So I saw it as recently as that. Wow. And I loved it at the time. Re-watching it now. I like both halves. I like the half of Garfield trying to go out and get candy with Odie. And then I like it when they go to the island and go to the haunted house with all the ghost pirates.

I'll quickly do, I'll do a rundown and we can talk about moments that we liked quickly. It opens with Garfield. He's got the TV on all night and it opens with Garfield waking up, which I like that Garfield keeps the sign off is on the TV and he's still watching the TV. And then he immediately gets up and does jumping jacks. Who is the clown wags, Binky? Binky. Binky is generally his clown.

I should say before we get into it that I had not watched this. Oh yeah, Nick, you sure? You're in a Garfield experience. Yeah, I had not watched this. And as of this recording, I have not watched this because I forgot to watch it. What the fuck? Why are you beauty? We were doing a previous episode and I realized like, oh no, I never watched the Halloween special.

And I was like, okay, well, maybe we'll get done in time where I can watch the green report. You didn't do the homework? And then we went long and we wrapped up and it was like, seriously, like four minutes between episodes. So I was like, fuck, I didn't watch it. And then I was like, I'll just maybe watch it while we're doing the episode. But I haven't watched it. I got that news for you.

You can't watch it anymore. Elon Musk gathered up all the copies. It's now Starfield, the Halloween special. Oh my God. It's up in space. He set the special to space. I feel that's very good. It's Starfield's space adventure, not Garfield's Halloween adventure.

Oh my God. It took us 12 names before we came. Anything bordering, unclever. I do want to say some some things because I'm just going to let this play as you're talking and I'll try to watch some of this. Weigert, Mr. Weigert, please come up to the front of the class. And recite some of your favorite scenes from the Garfield Halloween special, won't you? Or it's three raps across the knuckles.

Sure. I like when Garfield dresses up as a ghost and sucks off Odie. I thought that was A plus. Oh, OK. All right. So in 1986, Garfield's Halloween adventure wins the Emmy for Best Animated, Outstanding Animated Program, which is still the Emmy that they hand out today.

I just picture kids in the class like the teachers giving three raps across Weigert's knuckles. Weigert likes it. He's got a little kid boner. The little kids are the little kids refer to as a little kid boner. Yeah. Oh, he always misbehaves between every refractory period. Here was 1986.

Garfield's Halloween adventure wins the Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program. I was four. I think I was at the Emmys that year. The only other nominee, Garfield in Paradise, two Garfield specials, and that was it. Now, if you skip ahead a little bit. And that's Jim Davis killed himself because he didn't win for Garfield in Paradise. No, Mr. Davis, you still won.

I had 20 years, 2006, and the nominees are The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, Camp Laszlo, and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. So the field of Emmy-eligible animation has just really, really expanded. But Weigert, guess what? Film Roman is the company that did it, which is still a Simpsons company. Yeah. What a dearth of quality animation that this was. That's not a huge slight against Garfield.

There is some stuff that I go, oh, this is better than regular Saturday morning programming. The ghost stuff at the end looks pretty cool. Well, we'll get to the old man. I really love the old man. The weird old man. I'm letting this play right now, by the way, as you're talking, bitch. So he's watching the Biggie the Clowns show. All right, so he's watching the Biggie the Clowns show.

And then Binky's like, do jumping jacks. And I get that. Like, I think it's funny Garfield doesn't know why he's doing the jumping jacks. And I like that he keeps the TV on all night. I kept expecting that this was going to be review itself to be a nightmare. Because like a scary clown on a TV is talking to Garfield through the TV. Right. It never gives the final, yeah, like, whoa, gosh.

I woke up from a dream. Something like that. There is no, it's not, it's not a Pennywise or anything. It is, it is actually Binky the Clown. Who's in the strip? Who's in the comic? He's in the comic strip. Oh, sorry, Binky the Clown.

And then Garfield, he basically, he finds out it's Halloween. It's a Halloween day, Halloween morning. And Garfield sings a little song. You can't really tell if he's singing, but he also sings some of the opening. And then he, I like this part, Paul, when Garfield's warming around in the sack, you know, when he's warming around in like a candy, he's like, he's warming around a little sack. He's asking, he's asking John about Halloween.

He wants to get a sack so he can get candy. And John, and then Garfield says, Halloween's practice in my middle name, Gar Halloween field, which I thought was a funny joke. That is really funny. Yeah, it's funny. And then. Well, a couple things, Mitch.

I mean, credit or credits do Lou Rawls singing the theme music and the music throughout the series, along with Lorenzo music, voice of Garfield. I dig all this music. Totally, totally gay. And listen to the Lou Rawls song right now that plays in the opening credits. Oh, you're not, you're not going to finish by the time. But I think you still have to watch it for homework reasons. Have a good one.

So for, so Garfield's got to, Garfield's got to get a sack. John gives him permission to go and he gets, John gives him the sack. Odie's going to come with him. He wants to take Odie because he can get twice the candy. They got to go up and get some Halloween costumes. So they go up into John's attic and they're looking for Halloween costumes. I did think it was weird when they go into John's attic looking for costumes. They go through like a bunch of boxes.

And one of the boxes is just like filled with nude photos of John. And I thought that was kind of strange. Yeah, I thought that was weird too, because it seemed like where most of the animation went and the fact that the pictures were animated themselves. I just got there. Yeah, it's it's and and John is like saying in the pictures, like you have to read his lips, but he's saying like these are magic photos. To like because they want to justify why the pictures are moving.

Yeah, well, I think the justification is sound. I know I bought the logic. And Garfield Garfield looks at those pretty quickly. He doesn't really explain them. He's just kind of silently looking at them. But then he then he finds he finds some costumes for him and Odie. They come back downstairs as orange bearded the captain. And that went out a really great part when he was trying on those different costumes

and the singer went, or I can be an alien creature going down on the town. Paul, did you watch this with your with your daughter? Did you did? Was this a was this a father daughter watch or no? No, I actively watched it without her. She watched it in the room. And it's mainly for safety reasons. There's been a report recently that children

for decades now haven't been able to put words to it. But the shape of Odie is nerve altering is how they put it. Oh, my God. Okay, come on. That's because because I looked at so much Garfield as a kid. And I've never even thought that like that could have something to do with my current like, you know, nerve alteration, because my nerves are like very like they're very funky. Have you noticed, Nick, that you get uneasy around a shape when it's kind of like a kidney shaped

with two ear like extensions and then for lower leg like extensions. Does that make you feel anxious? Well, here's the thing. So we were in Vegas and we're staying at a hotel and and Natalie was like, Hey, do you want to go down to the pool? I was like, Great, we go down the pool. It's shaped just like that. Wow.

And I started like I started I had a panic attack. I was like convulsing. And I was like, are you okay when I saw a kidney shaped pool of Vegas? I was frothing. Yeah, I was frothing, too. And then and then people were people were like, we were like walking by just sort of muttering like, Oh, it's probably so. I was really embarrassed.

But you know, don't be embarrassed. It happens to like, I think literally like 85% of men. Yeah. Well, that's the thing. It was like 85% of men. It was like most of the men there were all having the same reaction, including some of the staff. This guy was just trying to carry towels around. He was fucking shaking and frothing.

They were convulsing froth coming out of their mouth on the on the ground. Well, I remember when we were in Chicago, we walked by the bean, the big bean in Chicago. Right. And you did. I remember you saying my nerves are really altered right now. Yeah. I remember that. And then Obama walked by.

I was like, Oh, D. Really? Oh, D. I can't. Why Obama? Well, it's Chicago. It's Chicago. It's downtown.

Oh, I thought you said Boston. And I said, I said, I said, Hey, Mr. Obama, you know, if you ran for president, you could change a lot of this, a lot of this stuff. And that's when he said, it's not a bad idea. I think I might just do it. Anyways, that's why Obama ran for president. Yeah. Uh, yeah.

This is all in his book. I mean, we're not telling people the stuff that they don't already know. But yeah, look it up in your dewy decimal system. There's a big, there's a big Garfield section in the Obama book. Hey, you, you craving fresh, delicious, easy meals, try wild grain and get their bake from frozen sourdough breads, fresh pastas and artisanal pastries delivered right to your door. That's right.

So I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to push on through and say that Garfield, Garfield is orange beard, the captain. And he has first mate, Odie the stupid, which is funny. And it was weird at this moment. This is, this is truthfully weird.

It was weird how Garfield talked about John changing his litter box. Did you notice that, Paul? Yeah. He's like, the guy changes my litter box. And I just thought it was weird to think about like Garfield taking little shits and pisses in the litter box and John having to like scoop them. Well, and that happened in the same scene that he walked in on just John sitting alone eating lasagna.

And it's like, so John makes lasagna on his own without even Garfield requesting it. It's not enough that he just has leftovers or something. He's like actively like making lasagna. What do you expect when Garfield walks in and snatches it from you? And then also Garfield steps on it with his peg leg, which is weird that he steps on it. He steps on the lasagna. There's a lot of, I mean.

So that's the part, that's the part I just saw. I would say, yeah. And then, and now Garfield's outside walking around. I did. I was like, I was sort of shaking for a second and frothing. And then, and then Garfield's outside now. And there's a little song playing while he's walking around with his bag and meeting other costume kids it looks like.

Yeah. Not a scaredy cat. That's the number. Not a scaredy cat. That's a big one. But I'm going to quickly, I want to quickly go back to just the litter box thing. Oh, of course. Also a weird thing that John treats the mess. Isn't that what you usually say on first dates?

I want to go back to the litter box referring to my house. Oh, no, no, no. I bet as if like, she, she at the first date was like, and I've been working lately and just really enjoying this new job at, you're like, hold on, hold on. Can I tell you about the litter box thing first? Kind of is what happens. I love my baby cats and wigs. Yes.

I hope Garfield's using pretty litter, use code DOBOYS at checkout and you can get probably $10 off your pretty litter. Also, it's weird that John treats them as sons, I was going to say. And he gives them sacks to go. He's like, you boys be safe. And he gives them sacks to go trick or treating. Yeah, they're unattended. Yeah.

It's pretty weird. And I mean, I'm really like, this was my favorite part of this special. I'm just like in bliss when it's just like soft jazz and Garfield's walking along with Odie and they're getting candy. That could have been the whole thing to me. But it is strange that these unattended pets are on people's doorsteps requesting candy and they're not batting an eye. They're like, it's not a big hang up, but it is.

I guess all animals do that in that world. It is strange. I guess so. Also Garfield and Odie are as big as the children that they show because they show children and their Garfield is the same height. Removes a Gargamel mask and underneath is Gargamel. Did you notice that? I smell a lawsuit from a lawyer smurf.

I heard the smurfs were pissed off about it. I heard the smurfs were. Well, you and Weiger, you guys are tight with those guys. I've never really gotten to meet the smurfs. But I know sometimes when you're touring and you're near their area, you guys will pay them a visit and stuff. Well, yeah, like Vanity was like, hey, can I come to the show? And like, you know, we're like, OK, sure.

Yeah, of course, man. Like, and he was like, can I get a plus three because. Yeah, no, yeah, no problem. You bring and he brings Papa Smurf. And brings two other Smurfs. Two other Smurfs. Yeah, look, I love Vanity, but he is a bit of a kiss ass. And to bring a little bit of a Smurf.

And two others. And then the two others. And then the two other Smurfs. It is a little, yeah, it's kind of a brown nose. And yeah, I chose this, but my longest relationship that I've ever had was four years, and that was with Smurfette. We dated for four full years and. Yeah, you guys are still in good terms, though.

Yeah, making it sound like things are sad, but I feel like you guys are cool. She's kind of, I mean, I nearly crushed her multiple times, just, you know, hanging out. Yes. I was just, I was worried about you, like your career, because she was like, there were whispers that she was going to like do like a Facebook post about you.

And after you broke up and be like, he asked me to Smurf my Smurf. And yeah, she, she was, she was like, you know, she told me she was going to post like, Mike Mitchell will like crush you if you're in a relationship with him. And I was like, don't do that. Yeah.

I'm not. And she was like, why aren't you, she wanted me to be like, she's like, why aren't you blue? You should be smaller. You should be smaller stuff. We should be like the size of a Smurf. And that was like a lot of where a lot of the issues came. But.

Except for that one area where you already are a size of the Smurf. She said that. Well, I feel like you guys had something really beautiful for four years, and nothing can change that. And you'll always have that. It's beautiful. At the end of the day, I think she was just like feeling, she's had a lot of conflicting emotions going on, you know,

because she knew things had to end, but she also still like had feelings for you and. She's like, you have that one area that is the size of a Smurf and also it's blue. I remember she said that. Yes. What? I didn't hear that.

I mean, not because it broke up, but because I didn't understand it. She says, like, she's like, why aren't you small like a Smurf? You have that one area on you that is Smurf. Okay. Yes, yes, yes. And also it's, and it's also blue.

And it's also blue. Yeah. And it has Papa's first cap on it. A bright red top. So I'm at a part now where Odie and Garfield are in a house with a fireplace and there's a, there's a scary old man on an armchair. This guy's great.

So as Paul was saying, like they go trick-or-treating, there's, you get to see kind of a cool, a cool looking old guy in that scene too. They do the scaredy cat song and there's a great line that goes, I don't chase my sand, all that jazz. That's one of the lines. Yeah, I like that line too.

And then they use a reveal like Paul was saying where there's a scary gargamel type mask and they take it off and there's a gargamel face. They use a ghost sheet bit twice where they look under a ghost sheet and it's like Sasquatch's legs. And then they look under another ghost sheet and there's no, nothing there. And then-

Yeah, I haven't seen this many sheets since I went to a goat farm. Mm-hmm. I haven't seen that- Don't get hung up on the goat part. That shit sounds like sheets. There's an, there's the old man. We see the old man.

Also- Real quick, real quick, just before we move on, I haven't seen this many sheets since I went to the states of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina and was looking for a convenience store. Jesus Christ. What? It's a convenience store on the East Coast.

Called sheets? Called sheets. Okay, that was good. There were go, a goats were also there. There were goats there. Okay, now, now, all right, we're back. Weiss, you may have, you may have, we may have noticed- That got so off the rail.

We're almost back, we're almost back on here. What, I was gonna say, what weird town they live in that's separated by a river. There's a weird river that runs through the town that Garfield and Odie have to take a boat across the river because there's more houses on the other side. They get swept up in the river. Garfield says, I want my mommy, which made me think, do we know Garfield's mom?

I don't know. I wondered that too, and we do. Oh, we do know, we do know his mom. Yes, the mom cat from the Aristocats. Oh, wow. But they're strange. That's why you don't hear about it very much. I think both of them want to keep it quiet.

I thought it was real. It is real. When you said that for a second, I thought it was real. You got- I thought it was real. You're saddened that I don't have the information of who's Garfield's mom. I thought it was real. Garfield calls himself a jet-setting playboy,

and I was gonna just say Garfield, this special does a better job of pirate stuff than we have all month. Garfield is very much in character. And then they go to this old spooky house on this island. There's a lightning strike, and then Garfield has a funny line. He says, hey, Odie, I know, let's investigate. It's a really funny line. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then they go in the house. They're by the fire, Nick, which is what you just watched. You might finish the special before we finish the episode. And they reveal this old guy that they just didn't look, turn around to see. There's an old weird man in a chair. Who's animated, he's great. He looks fucking weird and great. Yeah, when that, the category of amazing,

I loved when that green ghost ship showed up and those ghosts came out. Because it's like, came out the same year as the Black Cauldron, and they deleted scenes from Black Cauldron that looked like that, because they were just spooky, and now I'm getting in my Garfield movie. And then, so that was cool. But when that guy turns around, I do like how he looks. It is cool. But when Mike and I did our little Dark Side of the Moon sync up,

that jam part was all about how the animation is wildly different. It's a little grotesque. It is a little grotesque. The old man does look a lot different. Yeah, he looks, he has like a different. He looks like he was dropped in from like out of, into the Garfield TV special and out of like that heavy metal movie. Right.

It's weird. He's very strange looking. He has like strange big features. It's weird, but it's good. He almost sounds like James Earl Jones. But is it the singer? Is it the same guy, Paul? The Lorenzo music?

Yeah, Lorenzo music. Is that who did it? Is that the guy who does the voice? No, no, no. That guy is like, I don't even know why I was saying animation style and so referring to him. That's like a Who Framed Roger Rabbit situation. That guy is live action.

Oh, that's why he looks so different. It's a live action actor. Yeah. So whoever that actor is, that's whose voice it is too. And then we do get a few shots of Garfield and Odie as live action too, which is strange. Like to see like an actual cat, an orange cat and a yellow dog. Let's be honest. It wasn't that orange.

It was like more kind of grayish brown. They call it orange, but yeah. So it was odd that they had that be the real Garfield. And then the Odie was just like a picture of this pool from Las Vegas. Oh God, don't remind me. Let's start frothing. Don't remind me. I'm going to start frothing too.

The old man tells them that a hundred years ago, which Mr. Davis, Mr. Davis, maybe check your math a hundred years ago. Pirates buried treasure on this island. So in 1880, I guess that maybe that checks out. I actually don't think that's far off from the piracy era. Like it was still going in the mid 19th century. It might have been a little late. But yeah, at 100 years, this maybe couldn't be at the tail end of piracy.

And there's a reason why he's off even just a few decades or whatever. It's because I went to the Jim Davis estate and I was looking through a lot of his collection of his old textbooks from classrooms and stuff. And in the history books, nothing is highlighted, nothing is underlined. There's only doodles of cats on the side. Oh, wow. And I was like, this is interesting. I looked up who his teacher was.

She was still alive in town. I went and spoke to her and I said, I opened up the history book and I said, You went and you found Jim Davis's teacher and went and spoke to her. I said, not much of a student of history was he. And she said, little Jimmy. Of course, she called him old Jimmy, sure. Yeah, yeah. This woman who was, this woman who was like 20 to 30 years older than Jim Davis.

It's got to be her 90s. She was in her 90s and was nearly blind. And she went, little Jimmy, he was far less interested in Christopher Columbus and more interested in Charlie Brown. Wow. So those were her words. I did think it was weird that in the history books that Jim Davis would draw Garfield and then like in a bubble Garfield would be saying like never happened.

You know what I mean? Like a lot of stuff with World War II, like Garfield is he drew him in there saying never happened and I'm like, is he the history of the buyer? Yeah. It is like little, what are they called doodle books, sketchbooks and stuff. That's like where a lot of times Garfield would have those thoughts. What did you see? I didn't get into that section of the archives.

Well, I was mostly, I spent, I like, you know me, I saw that he had this big pinball collection and I was like, I got to play all these pinball games because he had like Adam's family values pinball, which is great. Which is a great pinball machine. If you haven't played it, if you haven't played it, for people who haven't played it, instead of a pinball, it's a little Uncle Fester head. Yes, Fester's head rolls around. So that's why I spent most of my time in the archives.

I was just playing pinball, honestly. That's cool though. You got like a high score. I thought that was cool like because that was like a prototype thing. I don't think they ever officially released those. Bali knew Jim Davis was a big pinball fan. And so he got like kind of this unreleased prototype. Yeah, he had like, he has just all these pinball machines that you never thought were even,

it even been made. Like you made. Wow. Yeah, he had one for Red Dragon. The Brett Ratner directed us Hannibal Lecter film. I guess they made a tie in pinball machine and Jim Davis estate owns it. And so I played a little bit. I got the high score.

The Red Dragon pinball machine is is is fucking it's cool. I'm a pinball junkies. So I know about this stuff, but I haven't necessarily gotten to play the Red Dragon one because it is pretty rare. But I heard the pinball is Brett Ratner's head. It is. It's Brett Ratner's head. And he's got like a shrimp in his mouth because, you know, he'd like beating shrimp.

He'd like to eat shrimp cocktail on set. So there's like a little shrimp tail hanging out. Yeah, like each shrimp cocktail. There was there was also shit. There was there was a bunch. He had like the there was an IFC, you know, the birthday boys were on IFC. There was like an IFC lineup of pinball machines. They didn't make a birthday boys that that was cool.

Yeah, it was really cool. They had like a Gigi does it pinball machine and the Brock Meyer pinball machine. Right. There were multiple boys related people. Yeah. No, we didn't get one, which kind of bummed us out because there was like, you know, all these all these, you know, the Brock Meyer and Gigi does it and like a lot of the a lot of stuff from from that error. But we, you know, we didn't we didn't get well, they didn't make one for us as unfortunately, but

it's still a honor. It's still flattering. Yeah. 100%. Oh, it's a total honor. You know, yeah, it was a huge honor. But by the way, I just want to say that the old man tells Garfield that at midnight at the stroke of midnight at 100 years, the pirates are coming back

and then the old man steals the boat. He's, he takes the boat. He runs off with the boat. Garfield and Odie are stranded there. They stay in a little cabinet. The ghosts, the pirate ghosts arrive. Also Garfield allows, he says, he's like, it's past my bedtime. He wants to go home.

I thought Garfield was a late night guy. So that was kind of confusing to me. Yeah, that was wrong. The, the ghosts are scary. They're very scary. And then yes, they, they open, they, they like make a noise and then the ghosts look at them and they close the doors and it's really funny. Yeah.

I had vague memories of being scared of these ghosts when I was a kid. The ghosts are scary. Yeah. But they're being funny throughout. Like when they, when they make them it clear that they're there and then like they try to close themselves in there and then the pirate ghost goes right through there. The ghosts are scary looking, but it's Garfield and Odie are having fun, but then it does kind of get dramatic.

Odie kind of falls through the dock and you can tell because it's a weird gray board that he falls through. I just, I just finished the special by the way. Oh wow. All right. He's done. Yeah. He's done.

Wow. Okay. And, and then they almost, both of them almost drown. Wags as you just saw. And, and, and, and Odie changed Garfield. Yeah. I noticed you were sort of rubbing your hands together and licking your lips as if imagining a feast of boiled cat and dog.

I thought that's how that's where the narrative was going. And, you know, I haven't had lunch yet. So I was getting really hungry. Do you know the old man that was live action? Mm-hmm. There is an alternate cut where at the end he feasts on boiled cat and boiled Garfield and boiled Odie. That's, that was an alternate cut.

My stomach's growling. But it, I guess they showed it to like a bunch of children and it was like really inappropriate for kids to see. Yeah, I can see that. So they, so they decided not, they, you know, they decided to not do it to show the old man eating Garfield. Totally. Oh, we can totally see that.

It makes sense. Makes, makes total sense. They get, well, as they go back, they're safe. Garfield gives half his candy to Odie. John doesn't question why they're out so late. And then Garfield says, yeah, I love you. Now get out of here to Odie, which is really cute. And then he turns on the TV and then this is a crazy part.

Yeah. Where it's revealed that the old guy was an actor. And I guess he maybe took the boat to work because he's on TV. The old guy is on TV. Okay. Look, I love the Garfield Halloween special, but the whole time I was kind of like, that's a particular choice of a scary thing is like ghost pirates. I guess we're just taking a leap here that this is a thing that all kids

know and are scared about. It's like they're normal pirates. But at the end Garfield's like, let me settle down to watch a movie. And the guy goes, it's now time for the all night pirate movie festival. Like because it's Halloween night and Garfield reacts as if he said like the Frankenstein festival or something. Yeah. They played the fog.

A little confusing. Over and over again. I guess they just, just the fog over and over. And that's, that's all they got. There's no real, I can't think of scary pirate movies outside of the Garfield Halloween special and the fog, but they play something. And that, that guy, that old man is an actor. He works for TV.

The old man works for TV. This hundred, because he, he was a cabin boy on the ship. He reveals. Yes. He was a young man. He's over a hundred years old. It's kind of a Michael Douglas, the game beat where it's like, because there's a point where like one of the guys from the game, he sees on TV and it's like,

what the fuck is happening? He sees him in a TV commercial. Yeah. Yeah. And Michael Douglas does come in at the end, we should say too. Michael Douglas is with Garfield watching at the end. So. Yeah.

Again, with like Who Framed Roger Rabbit sort of live action mixed animation technique. I bought it. It, like it did. I bought it too. It was in Jarring. I totally bought it. And then Gar, well, it's funny because, because Michael Douglas is there and Garfield looks at him all, all scared.

And he's like, I don't need that kind of pussy. And then that's when the special ends. Really odd outline that like they were like, okay, this one, this one, like eating Odie and Garfield, that's too much for kids, but, but this line is appropriate. Like we'll, we'll put that in instead. That's the end of the Garfield Halloween special. Wow. By the way, I, this is, before we go, I do want to note because you were talking about

Michael Douglas and this is just a wild coincidence. I guess Elon Musk sent Michael Douglas to space as you're recording. Why, as we were recording this, that was like a news update. Yeah. And, and as a result. It's weird that it's weird that there, there were so many of those and then it just kind of slowed down. Well, I think what happened is that they, I'm looking like I'm looking at the story right now. And this is like, you know, one of those rapidly written like dredger port sort of thing.

So it's like, it's like, it's like developing, right? But it was basically saying, I'm on dredger port. And it was basically saying that it was on hold, like the justice department put a, put a hold on it. And then he appealed it and the appeals court said that he could keep doing it. So that's why for like 40 minutes, he wasn't able to send anyone to space. But now Michael Douglas is up there. Well, I'm not that thin, I guess, huh? Michael Douglas went up there.

No name change. No. Well, no, here's the thing. No rise. And this is like, I said, this is developing. We just got his name change as an update. Oh, wow. He's, he's now Michael Douglas Adams, the author of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Mm. Well, Wags. Yarg.

Yarg. That doesn't work. Yarg. Dober chest. Thank you. Uh, I, I always appreciate and love getting to, uh, do dough boys with you guys. And, uh, particularly for a special occasion like this. What an absolute joy.

Paul rest. And we, we just like, I shouldn't, I shouldn't have talked about Michael Douglas eating pussy. I, I don't, I didn't, I don't like it. I shouldn't have talked about it. I think it's more just because it's fine. I think it's more just because that information was between Michael Douglas and his doctor until you, I know your friends with the doctor, maybe you get points scored by letting people know that you know his doctor and are sharing his information, but it's cruel.

I am, I am friends with Michael Douglas's doctor. And this is going to, people are going to think this is crazy, but his doctor is, um, Dr. Giggles. I heard this too. For real? It's, yeah. Dr. Giggles, I say this because I know you guys like love Nintendo's. I don't know.

Since the last time you watched Dr. Giggles, this seems like a silly thing we would say, but there's a scene where Dr. Giggles is going to kill a kid who's playing a video game and he walks up and he sees the kid is playing Dr. Mario and then Dr. Giggles smiles and lets him live and walks away. Is that true? Yes. Wow. Because that does sound like a silly thing we would never be set up with.

I know, I know. That sounds silly. That's so crazy. It's so crazy that's real. It sounds really silly. Is that, that's real? That is real. Cut to later tonight.

Me and Wags both nervously playing Mario. Paul, you have any of your plug? We love you. We love you, buddy. Yes, thank you. Off pod, we had a question recently on the podcast. Wags, I was going to bring this up. Yeah, about, they were like, they were like, someone had asked and this is not an upcoming episode,

like, what's the funniest thing you've ever seen? We didn't, and Mitch and I, and we were like, you're kind of on the spot and you're just like, man, I don't, I don't know how to answer that. And then Mitch and I were texting afterwards. We were like, we're both just like, I think it's something Paul Russ did. We were just like both thinking of things that you did that they just laughed. Yeah. One of the funniest dudes we've ever, we've ever had the pleasure of knowing.

That's the truth. It's absolutely true. I'm hiding my face behind my mic. I'm so birding red. I'm so in the bear. Thank you guys. That's Paulie the pirate. That's that.

Love you, buddy. Love you guys too. Love you too. The plugging your shows just, you know, Great North is on Fox. I'll hail Rupert Murdoch.
