Hey, welcome to guys man a podcast about guys. I'm Brian and with me is the dude Chris James. Hey dude. Hey man. Yeah, no this is a this is kind of cool very good movie very good film obviously so it's like crap movie. It's like hey it's you understand a lot of sort of reference points and a lot of very funny running gags. So you know I think it's gonna be exciting to see kind of a group of very cool guys. Well, it's cool because we're going to be able to read some reviews of the movie off

of Rotten Tomatoes for guys that maybe didn't like it to see what maybe people might not like but we got to get our guest on here. Gavin Matz. Hi, Gavin. Hi, every hide the dude and hi, Brian. I'm the dude. Oh, well, the dude and hi Brian I do I'm the dude oh well you thought you called me the dude and I think I am the dude I mean I think excuse me the host who really ties this show together sorry let me just say I let me just let me just introduce my let me just say I don't abide oh oh he's seen it. That's also from the movie. Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, it's... Listen, I don't know. People should know. I've mentioned it, I guess, on some episodes and stuff. I think you've only really mentioned it on

bonus stuff. I don't know if I've mentioned it on a main episode before, but I, at some point in my life, I guess. Well, I'm learning I wasn't really a big Lebowski guy. I was something much more disgusting than that. As I was I was like, I thought I was. The dude. Are you this guy that I found? He runs a religion. But see, this is the whole thing. Yes. And yes, and I had one of those jacket one of those wool

Things that I exactly like the dude I definitely had that going on but it was like I realized I didn't want it because there's dude cons and all that stuff that We'll probably learn about and all these meetups or whatever, but I didn't have any interest in going to that I just like wanted to live my life interest in going to that. I just like wanted to live my life exactly like the dude. And I started to sort of believe that I was him and I would only drink white Russians and we would go bowling. And I had a friend who sort of thought he was Walter. No way. When I was I want to say this, I want to say this. When I was 12 years old, right? I saw the movie Boys in the Hood.

Like my friend's parents took me and me and my brother. And I was like, I was like, God damn, I need to get in a gang. After I saw that movie. So is that what because you did end up getting it? I didn't ever get in a gang So that seems like not actually the point or message of that movie in particular Brian. So oh, yeah I think he's I think when a young person watches something like that. I think that is an issue with art sometimes Like that Gavin is that yeah, you're trying to put forward this one message, but if you have like sort of an ignorant audience Watching it. Yeah they get the exact opposite message.

Brian was like, I might start a cult called Black Dude-ism. But I think that Brian, obviously everybody knows Brian, was in a violence gang. No, I wasn't in a violence gang, number one, it was a mafia. Random people would assault random people. So when did that happen in relation to you watching Boys in the Hood? I got the idea in, I would say when I was like 14 to start a mafia. So it was just a couple of years later after watching it. So it maybe had some impact on the fact that you were, it had some impact on your gang

being formed. I guess Morpheus' monologue you didn't take to that, huh? And in the job, I don't think he fast forwarded through the monologues and stuff, probably, yeah. I don't bring this up to talk about me wanting to start a gang. I bring this up as in like some people watch movies and they might take the wrong lesson from it

And I feel like that's what you did when you became I get that because I actually when I saw agent Cody Banks, I actually thought maybe I was agent Cody banks I don't know that I don't I know that's the one with Malcolm in the middle and I never checked that one out It was Amanda Bynes in that as well though? No, Lizzie McGuire. It was McGuire, my fault. Yeah, it was like, the CIA's actually evil, and I don't know why I wouldn't be in the CIA.

But yeah, it was just like, I don't know what it was about. We definitely watched the movie a lot, and we quoted it in a really annoying way. But again, my friend, I'm not going to say his name, because he thought he was Walter really. He had a gun and he has a lot of guns now. But he had a gun at the time and someone

threatened the younger brother of my friend, you know, just down the street at this bar. Now who's the violent king? Well, truly, I wasn't, but this group of people at this bar that we went to super regularly and my friend went there and started waving a gun around. Oh my God. Wait, what bar was that? I don't want to say.

Oh, O'Hairs. It's O'Hairs. O'Hairs. I remember that bar because it had a rug that really tied the room together. No, I should have known. You don't know any bars there. Why did I say that? Of course you don't know the bar,

but yeah, it was like a bar we went to all the time and then we could never go again because he had waved the gun around. Yeah, he was kind of out of his element. Yeah, yeah, and he would have been saying stuff like that too. I remember he was waving the gun around. He's like, am I wrong? Wait, what do you mean you remember? It's just like you were a young child. Gavin's quite a bit younger than I am. No, I just want to clarify though that he was genuinely both waving a gun around menacingly

and also probably quoting the Big Lebowski in like really. I bet he's still waving the gun around angrily, but I bet he's calmer than you are. Is that a reference too? I think it is. Okay, some of them might is. Okay. Endless amount of quotes on the big Lebowski subreddit is brutal. Yeah, very undue. Yeah, Gavin, Gavin, dude, Gavin, have you

seen the movie and Brian? Have you seen the movie and how many times? One, I've seen the movie three or four times. Because you know, I only watch movies once. So this is a movie I've seen a zip. My Oh, might as well be a zillion times. I hate watching a movie a second time. So you love that. You love this movie. Well, no, I did like it a lot and I thought it was very funny, but I didn't want to be anybody in this movie. I thought the dude was kind of a dork. So like I watched it and I was like, oh, that's not a bad movie, you know? But I was like, eh, I don't know.

I wouldn't want to be this weird freak. This weird hippie freak. Yeah. It's just like, but just, I think it was about relaxation. It was about comfort, like, oh, dressing for comfort and just kind of having a laid back kind of vibe. Sorry, Gavin, what were you saying? What was it? This was one of the first movies it took me 20 times to watch once. You know what I mean?

I've since watched it in its entirety, but this was one of those movies for me. You said I'm a little younger than you, but it was a very AMC, okay, I'll watch this for 30 minutes and commercials kind of wear me down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe it's on late at night and you're sort of falling asleep or you're not planning to watch it so you have something you have to go and do. So yeah, I had movies like that. I want to say like Shawshank Redemption was like that for me. That was just always on TBS constantly. So you

just catch like a bits and pieces of it. And I saw the whole thing and stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. Brian, I do want to say to you, Chris, that like I do kind of understand. Thank you. Where you were coming from at the time. I've said this before, not on this show, but like before I had traveled at all like I'd been to Kansas and Florida there's only two places I'd ever would you go to there? What'd you go to those places for my mom moved to Kansas when I was like in sixth grade, so I Just like Or just like work. Wait a second.

She's insane. She's insane and drunk. Laughing out loud and asking why your mom moved to Kansas. It elicits a full like, a bop from Brian. So it wasn't a work thing? Having a child, having a kid. Yeah. And then realizing that me, my brother, and my sister were probably five years old

and my mom was like, I gotta get the fuck out of here. Oh, she left without you. No, that's not a good move. Yeah. Hey, that stinks, man. That does. She was being very undue. No, yeah, she moved.

This is funny. Talking about it using like a Big Lebowski terminology, and it's like, wow, your mom totally did not tie the family together. Also, my dad one year is like, hey, we'll send the kids can come and stay with you for the summer in Oklahoma. She had moved. Well, yeah, she had moved to Oklahoma at this time. Halfway through though.

What was the reason why she moved to Oklahoma? Was it a work thing or? Yeah, yeah, she's a waitress at a steakhouse. She like mad a lot. Was she like angry? No. What would cause her to move, though? Really? Do you think she was like, would it would it be like with a husband, with a guy or something like that?

Yeah, yeah. OK. So she moves to fucking Oklahoma and then halfway through the summer, she was like, hey, we're moving to Kansas and didn't tell my dad and also didn't tell him her new phone number or anything like that. So we're in a weird like kidnap space for a period of time, but we didn't know. What do you mean? Like who were you kidnapped by? My mom. Oh, I, Oh, took you. I see. I see. He moved us in the middle of a summer. We were supposed to spend the summer in this in Oklahoma. And she was like, hey, we got to get out of Oklahoma.

Let's go. Oh, my God. You was that was that your dad. He was probably so upset. He was probably like, this aggression will not stand. And he was not happy. But it's funny. My dad was like mad about it. And then the very next summer sent us back to stay with her for three weeks.

You have a list of them in front of you, Gavin. Be honest. He does. He has a list. So let's take a look here. But I want to say that like there was a period of time when I was probably 20. Eric, like I said, yeah, I guess I was quiber is before I traveled, right? And I used to tell people I was like, you know, I'm more like a New York type guy than a California type guy, you know, in what context were they asking me? I actually get that I don't like those things. And I hate the fucking Eagles man.

Gavin Gavin lives in New York, just to be clear. And I guess he's from the West Coast. So he probably does. He's actually spent a lot of time in both of the places. But like Brian, at the time, you had never been to either of them, right? Either one. No, no, no. I'd never been.

And honestly, I've never even been. I've been to the city in Columbus like four times. You know what I mean? You just went to Groveport, right? Yeah, I was in Groveport. Groveport, so, and also like what, were they asking you if you were a New Yorker and LA guy or were you just offering that information up? I was offering the information of like, I'm more of a New York guy.

I'm like, you know, I'm quick on my feet, you know, I'm always, I'm always like, hey, how's it going? I end up talking about, I'm more of a New York kind of comic, you know, I'm quick on my feet, you know, I'm always I'm like, hey, how's it going? And I'm talking about I'm more of a New York kind of comic, you know, and you like, yeah, they find out as I'm older and I've been to both places. I was like, I could never live in New York. I would I could never live in Los Angeles again, because I hate the fucking eagles, man. Yeah. And they play them all the time. And I was honest.

I could I'm with I'm with Gavin though in not with the Eagle shit. I don't know what he's talking about. But I'm with them on I could live in New York and not LA. I prefer New York. I think it's a much more well put together city. I say this all the time. It has like a well defined center to it. And it's like LA is just so spread out and you never feel like you know where you are. I just, I hate it. Totally. And obviously Los Angeles is the origin of the band,

the Eagles, and I fucking hate the Eagles. Is it really? Oh, ISD, I thought you were talking about the football team. You know what I mean? I was like, what do the Philadelphia Eagles have to do with this? No, I'm talking about the movie. Oh, it's that's from the movie. I fucking hate you. He definitely has the fucking Eagles, man.

That's a list for sure. He's really no way. Fuck it. Let's go bowling. I went to r slash Lebowski. This guy asked a question. He goes, why was the dude upset when he found out his vehicle had been recovered? What? I don't remember that part of it. Well, when he was in the bath and the answering machine picked up, he said, uh, he goes, I conducted a bit of research. I showed two impartial acquaintances the clip and asked that they think he was happier upset when he said far fucking out. And both of them said he was upset. One said he thinks it's because he had to get out of the water. Research notes.

I only asked two people. It's not like I asked 10 people and decided to only discuss the two that fit my narrative. Conclusion. The dude's initial response was one of elation, but when the reality kicked in that this was going to impede upon his peaceful dude time, he became annoyed. This happened over a matter of seconds. he kicked in that this was going to impede upon his peaceful dude time, he became annoyed. This happened over a matter of seconds. Thank you everyone for your input and we can now consider this case closed. Oh, I love when a case gets closed because it's like a lot

of time it's left of, you know, I hate those open ending or, you know, open ended sort of, Oh, that's so this is very cool. So it's definitely closed though. And 30 years later, maybe they'll find a little bit of something else. Cold case getting really open. Yeah. Yeah. Well, can I just say that I think these kind of guys, the big Lebowski guys, they're actually

worse than maybe another film guy like the A24 guy. Because this is obviously such a formative movie for these people that it actually ruins their life in a way that like I've never experienced with a movie before. It's like they kind of weren't they were like aimlessly moving through life and then they saw this movie and it changed everything about themselves in a way that I think is rare for like actually not rare for men in pop culture. But I mean like I just have never seen this

with a movie before, just dressing like this, doing your hair like this, like, what is it? I'm sure it does, it does, I guess, happen. Probably you're gonna, people are gonna have like examples of where it happens, I guess, in a different sort of way, though I think you're right, that this is like different in the way that people live their lives like it. Like, it's not just like the Rocky Horror Picture Show or whatever. Those guys like go to

the events and they're like doing it, but they're not like, I'm doing the dude thing. And that's, I'm telling you, you're right, Gavin. I was aimlessly floating through life at that point. You know what I mean? I didn't even, I don't think it was before I even did stand up and I didn't even know. I am not even supposed to. Maybe that's actually true because it maybe it's actually like up and I didn't even know I am not even supposed to maybe that's actually true because it maybe it's actually like a loser that's like worried about like what he's what his life is how his life is going and then he sees this and he's like oh I'm not actually a loser I'm not a loser I'm the fucking dude man you know I'm the dude and he's the coolest guy in the world and that was definitely I like hid behind that I was just like I was like, oh, yeah

No, this is like how I want to be I want to be like drinking white Russians lounging around in like pajamas Well, I would go all they they couldn't they couldn't make this movie today though, because you know, oh You can't make a white Russian with oat milk Okay It is true that like first it ruins your life. Yeah. You become annoying. Yes.

Basically. Yes. There's something like, and I've talked about doing this episode in the past is movie quote guys, but I really think that's just a chive guy. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's too similar. That's too similar, yeah.

But this turns you into a guy and the guy's a fucking loser like in the movie like yeah I know that it's made like he's cool and like Like Gavin said like an 824 guy has at least watched other movies Movie makes you seem so stupid. Yeah, those guys are s guys are sickening because they do clap at the company logo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That is a different type of derange. But I definitely agree that these- But Lebowski would be an A24 movie now.

No. Yeah, most definitely, 100%. Yeah. I think it's Max or something, and that's kind of like- Yeah, I think that it's like, I think you're... It's absolutely right though that it's like, he's not a loser in the movie. He is what a loser wants to be and wants to see themselves as. Or not a loser, but rather like a person who does nothing.

A very lazy person who does not want to do anything in life. This is the ideal situation and scenario that they can imagine for themselves. I think at that point in my life, I had so little drive, like truly, you know, I didn't really know what I was wanting to do. I was like, try it dropped out of university. I was like working like warehouse jobs and stuff like that. I had like no direction and I was like, what if I was the dude? Yeah.

I mean, do you have a job either? No, I think it's the thing. I had like no direction and I was like, but what if I was the dude? You know? I mean, the dude doesn't have a job either. No. I think it's the thing, it's like, I did, yeah. How do you exactly do it? I did go work in a warehouse for 10 hours a day. Yeah, I wasn't the dude there, that's for sure.

I was, the guys would not accept me being the dude. The guys dropping off their fucking, I'm not even gonna say dropping off their loads because Brian's will get all into that type of stuff and whatever. So this is it did say case closed, but it actually wasn't closed. Some other people. Oh, so it got reopened, like Gavin said.

Yeah. This kind of thing happens like a river. Yeah. Yeah. Synapse, I've never seen. Sorry, what's that a reference to? I don't know that name of that. I is that the big movie. Mystic. What do you mean the big Lebowski a movie? It's a similar.

I mean, the leg of Lebowski is not a movie. It's the way of life. I only, I only watched that movie. I only watched it during that time. Like I said, that is the true thing. And I would just like watch it over and over again. Just, I want to clarify though. I, I quickly realized, I think this probably lasted for about two months of my life.

Maybe and then I was like, oh no, this is like not that well. Hey, let's take a second here. Let's take a second. No, just here. Just take one. Reverend Gary. Yeah. Hey man. Welcome to Dudas meditation with Reverend Gary.

Today we will be doing a simple five minute meditation. Perfect for anyone who is looking to keep their mind limber. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or an experienced meditator. I invite you to join me in these five minutes of chill. Oh, the five minutes of chill. So like, oh, find a seat or lie down on your favorite rug. Maybe engage in some freeform Tai Chi like motion. It's up to you. So long as your posture allows you to tell your mind to chill relax Just be present two years ago Yeah, yes. Yes. This is a two-year-old video. So

You want this to be 12 years old? This is one of those videos that you see and you're like, I hope this is a 12-year-old Yeah, I hope people aren't still doing this kind. So it's oh Brian did you in your research? Did you what what year did the the the dude come out? Can I just say that like straight to camera the dude abides and I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that That's well, you're gonna hear a lot of stuff like that. Don't worry It's a 1998 movie. Okay, so 1998 Say what you want about national socialism, but it had its ethos, you know

So I'm just realizing now. I'm realizing now 1998 so I because I'm 40 years old. That's crazy. He's so cool But I I would have been I was only like 14 when this movie came out. That's crazy. So cool. But I would have been, I was only like 14 when this movie came out. That's how old I was. So I was, man, I was just a fucking, I was like, so when this was happening, I was like 15 years old maybe when I was just at the height of like learning, getting drunk and smoking weed and stuff like that. And I was just like completely an idiot. So I think I was being, you know what? I think I stuff like that. I was just completely an idiot. I think I was being a, you know what?

I think I might be wrong. I think it might have been later on. I might have gone through my dude phase later on when I was 17 or 18. That's bad. Yeah, that's bad. Because if you saw the movie at that age, I saw super bad at 13 going into high school and I was like, okay, beer and pussy. Like that's what we're up to. Yeah, because we drove around, we drove around.

You guys, I'll say this. We were driving around, we weren't on the bus. So we were not, yeah. Well, you're driving around and your friend, he was driving, probably had like some kind of, you were probably holding some kind of drink and you'd have to be like, hey, careful, man. There's a beverage there.

Yeah. Hold on. Well, it was, of course, what's his name who was driving? My friend, Walter, who would wave his gun around and stuff. Another thing that my friend, I'll call him Walter, his real name is Tim, but he would also, he thought he would buy these cars that were kind of older and he didn't really care about and then he thought it was funny we would go and like go where there was a bunch of people and he would go and like get into an accident on purpose. So he would go like hit a bunch of stuff. And then be like, ah, then everyone would run over and he would just like jump in his car and drive off. He's a really funny guy like like super, super funny guy. We used to do a really funny thing where like we'd be at a stoplight. And if there was a car in front of us, we'd honk at the guy.

And then when he turned around and went like this, we'd flip him off. And then if he got out of the car, we beat him up. What the fuck? See, that's not that's not a serious vibe, like road rage, like initiating road rage. Our lens, that's just how it is. You know, sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you. Well, probably from it too. Can you please stop?

The thing about that story is it's just so in line with all the stuff that Brian would do now. But who? So you're telling me, but you said you didn't beat up old people. So you're telling me all these people you would do that to in the car. I mean, an older person's not gonna get out of their car to fight you.

An older guy, I mean, I don't think I got, almost got into a fight, but I was walking my dog and my dog sniffed this guy, like on leash, sniffed this guy and his wife as he was walking by, like not, didn't touch him or anything, and the guy as he's walking by, like not didn't touch him. Anything is. And the guy like almost hit my dog like get get like, and I was like, hey, chill. You know, you don't have to go. I was with my baby as well. I was like, you don't got to act like that. Joe, I would whip. He was older man with his wife, though he's older man with his wife.

And he's just like, that's exactly the this is what he said to me. It's like some people don't want the dog's dirty nose rubbing up against them, you know, and he's like, I don't like it. And neither does she he said about his wife and his wife didn't care at all. She was like very happy to like pet the dog. He was just in front of being gonna beating him up in front of his wife is like, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna get into a fight with my I'm not gonna get into a fight with my baby there. I said to him, that's why you're talking to me like this because my baby's here. You know that, you know, that's why you talk to me like this. And then I seen him, I seen him like two days ago and he was he had an umbrella, a wooden umbrella in his hand and it was not raining and there was no clouds in the sky. So I think he started arming himself with that thing in case I there was some altercation so he could assault me with it. I'll keep you guys updated. I'll keep you guys updated on the plot. That's interesting what you do for recreation in the suburbs. Because what I do for recreation

is I just drive around, I bowl, have the occasional acid flashback. Yeah. See, that's just not what I do for fun this is what I go I have to take my baby and a dog go for a walk in the morning it's called it's called living a life yeah man your body should be like not the problem man you dig fuck Now we are in a place where we can begin to meditate far out far out dude, I Hate far out. Let your muscles kick back and relax Allow yourself to feel all loose and groovy then close your eyes and begin to take a deep breath. Oh Okay Then close your eyes and begin to take a deep breath. Oh, OK.

Pay attention to your breath. Allow it to move in a slow and rhythmic way. Inhale slowly. Hold your breath for a beat. Then exhale. You're not doing a deposit. Can you pause it? He's he's not doing any dude references or talking like, give him a second. Give him a second. Holding it, letting that shit go.

He doesn't let you have like he gives it gets you, you know, uh, well, let's look at a few posts and then we'll get back to this weird guy. Um, the, the, let's, let's take a look at this. We haven't even heard that weird guy yet. I don't think he just brought him up. Oh, would you like to hear? Let's hear him. Yeah, let's hear a little bit from that weird guy. We saw him.

He's dressed a lot like the dude. He's got he's got kind of his hair is a bit different than the dudes. It's like not wavy. You know, it's too straight and it's not gray enough either, you know, or whatever or like I guess his is like blondish gray, right? Here we go.

This is guy dude ism. Is. Here we go. This is a guy. Dude, is it for real or just another mock religion? Just another question on this episode of the incident. You like you like exactly. It's another mock religion. Is it just another mock religion? I'm going to do a the do the do the by this guy does not have the act and for the dude, yeah, he does.

Hey, man, that's my rug. And it's some fucking, the dude abides with some fucking cavagule. Yeah, this guy doesn't eat. I would not listen to this guy in the dude-iverse at all. What is it? I thought this was dude-ism, not gibronia-ism. Hey, get over here. I'm walking out some tutors. I'm the Reverend Gary M. Sylvia, and this is a limited time. Oh, keep the glasses on, Reverend. You need to do some man cow work.

Did the big eye reveal, and it's like it is not looking good underneath there. Usually, usually, Reverend, I tell people to stay away from the light, but I think your eyes need something. Something is going wrong here. What? What? What? What?

What? What? What? What? What? What? What? So it's at the ins and outs of dudism.

Dudism modeling. Oh, yeah, the in and out is on camera. Say you're out having a few beers with your buddies. Aw. You get around to telling them you're a do this. Then they ask, the hell you blathering about? If your friends are not already hip to the idea of Judaism, and they may have a couple of common questions like, is it fake, as in a facade like markup

pretending to be a religion? Or is Judaism meant to satirically mock other religions? These questions may have a somewhat... We know all about that. He might take a shot at some people that we've covered in the past. He better not say a goddamn word about his noodley appendages, because I have a feeling where this is going, Gavin. I'm a pastafarian. I have been for 20 or 22 years now. And so I feel like that's what they're doing.

I think off of his Accident maybe he was actually a pasta fairy Yeah, I mean, I think he probably is a different type of pasta far you If you got some friends, and they don't understand what this is I Probably assume they're probably not gonna be your friend much longer. Yeah They're gonna have a few questions for you like What the fuck you talking about? Are you talking about I vaguely recall that film yet, it's not even the best Coen Brothers film is it

Sorry, can you like can you pay your rent next month though? Or that's really what this combo is about, bro. So you're going to drink all day? Like every day? A big part of Judaism is actually you living in a basement suite. Yeah. And also above you, above you is like a family of like five. Oh, yeah. Family living a life. Yeah. The the thing about it, too, that you can't discount, which I remember about it was that he has had drink so much milk. I know. But he does also half and half at a period. Yeah. But it's it's just when you're drinking white Russians like,

oh, tonight at the party, I'm going to drink white Russians. You're just drinking like a gallon of milk. It's very funny that that's the body of Christ in Judaism. Well, I'll bet you if I looked hard enough, that is what we would find. So I did look at this, this guy in R slash Lebowski posted a picture of his side and it says Lebowski, this is pre American election says Lebowski posted a picture of his side and it says Lebowski. This is pre American election. Says Lebowski, 2024. This is a great time.

We'll not demand. Oh, Gavin, don't get Gavin started. He's very political. We don't want to get him started. In fact, we're known as a non-political. No, no, Joe Stein and his sweet. Oh, get into that on politics. Boys voted for Pierre Poliev.

I'm just joking. I don't vote for anybody in Canada. You guys actually comfort me for a second. I have been feeling really bad about the election. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.

I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just joking. I don't vote for anybody in Canada. You guys actually comfort me for a second. I have been feeling really bad about the election. Can you just say some words of comfort? This is coming out right after the inauguration. I don't need your fucking sympathy, man. I need my fucking Johnson.

So the guy pulls out. So the guy posts a picture of the sign he put in his yard. Like I said, it says Lebowski 2024. This aggression will not stand man. That's funny. That's funny. The idea of a can't imagine. I prefer prison mic for president 22. That's who I voted for. But this first comment is from off. Fuck is his name. I live in a very red county. I wore this Lebowski 2024 shirt to a public event last weekend and caught a lot of eyebrows and grimaces. Pretty sure they thought I was repping some third party pseudo lib when really I was just trying to find a cash machine.

So he's just like, I'm very conservative. And but the issue here was that, yeah, I guess my fellow conservatives didn't think I was because of my Lebowski. Why is he calling that? Why does he need a cash machine? Well, that's a quote from the movie. I believe he's looking for a cash machine. Oh, I see. He's doing the annoying quote. but he also before he told a story about wearing a shirt and people being like, Whoa, are you really voting for Lebowski? Yeah, like he's he's freaking people out.

That's kind of combining two different kinds of guys. It's like guys that wear like shirts with words on them. Yeah, it's like on the back. It would be like, what's on the back of the big Lebowski 2024 shirt? You know what I mean? I would say like, yeah, the president divides or something like that. Yeah, like, here's a good one. Here's a good one from crack a toe at 83.

He goes, I would never vote for Lebowski. I might vote for the dude, though, because. Oh, because Lebowski is also the other guy. That's where the whole mix up was. Good joke. Good joke. Thank you. Yeah, but he's also, but he would be voting for Lebowski, though.

Philip Seymour, but he is his son is I sometimes I'll see his son acting and it's like I can see it's like, is that him? You know, Red Lanterns, I'd says a chicken in every pot. And I'm like, can I just say that? Sorry, Brian, it's not him. There's no heroin in his son, so it doesn't count. Don't say that. Don't say that about Philip.

Don't say that about Philip. It's one of the things that made him talented. Who's the distributor? Why is this not being mass produced? Finally, some sense in the world. Well, I think it probably is this not being mass produced? Finally, some sense in the world. Well, I think it probably it is being mass produced. I think probably, right? I don't think that that's like, it's probably from the tribe or something. Don't you think? Yeah.

Well, here's a problem that happened right before the election, Chris. I'm going to show you this. I got to show you guys this first. Okay. Cause it's a post with a quote. Um, and it says, are these Nazis Walter? And it's a picture of, of the, the, whoever was speaking at the Republican national convention. Now some guys in the red subreddit, not so happy that somebody would say such a thing. So, uh, first thing, first they do a bunch of quotes. Oh, fuck it off. Fuck it. This is your answer to everything. I suggest you do what your parents did and get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. So that's a little riff, but then this guy goes, that's the best comment since when did this sub turn into a political sub? It should be about the reason it exists. Our love of the movie. I hope the

moderator sees this because hopefully they'll agree. This post has nothing to do with the big Lebowski. Let's just laugh and have fun and leave politics out of it. Cause we all know where that leads to. I agreed. I agree. Honestly, a VAC man, you're sitting, you're getting inundated with this politics all day. You just want to go to the fucking Reddit and talk about the dude and white rush when some bowling and stuff. You don't need to be inundated with it there. You either live, you either live longer, you live long enough to be the dude or you live long enough to become a fascist.

Yeah, that's not how he is held to me to be like. Wait a minute. We're not even talking about the movie anymore on here. Like how many more words can you say about one movie that came out in 1998? Like how is their conversation? I couldn't find much. Well, yeah, it's cause like that guy is like,

do you think he was actually mad when he said this line like that What they're kind of they've gotten to now, you know It's also just like funny to see like someone that you know, this happens to all people as they get older they become so like Strangely conservative and lose all their values of the thing that they appreciated from like 30 years ago even just to like, you know And the irony is lost on them. I think it's, yeah, yeah, it's happening to Brian actually as well. This guy goes, this guy goes, the title of the post is a quote from the movie. Nazis are referenced three times in the big Lebowski. I like that he

counted, but then our, our guy that's mad about the political content goes, I'm very aware the title of the post was in the movie. Like many of you, I love this movie and I've seen it over 100 times. I'm talking about the redundancy of the quote and equating it to Trump and Trump supporters. It's old, it's not funny. It's not cute. It's not original. I'm very aware that Nazis and politics are in the movie. I'm I'm known in this Reddit is mostly I know that he fucked this up. By the way, it says I know. I'm no this is Reddit. Okay. Like a grammar Nazi.

No, the reason that he's doing that is because otherwise he'll get accused of the father guy goes, I know. And stuff. Yeah. He goes, I'm known this is Reddit and it's mostly left leaning individuals, which by the way, I haven't read it is all red. It's all left wing. All I'm saying is that this sub should focus more on the movie and less on politics. Down vote me all you want everyone.

I stand by my comments. Dude, you're fucking this sub up. I love people who go Reddit like go full martyr on the Reddit like stand up on the mountain like down vote me all you want. Like I'll say it anyways. I know we'll get down voted. Yeah. As if there's repercussions. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my karma. Yeah, exactly. Your karma. My karma. That's real. Yeah. I actually was going to take my karma. That's how you get to heaven. I don't know what Reddit Karma does really, to be honest. I don't know. But

Mr. Peepers1986 says, the dummy crats seem desperate. I can't say I love the GOP, but they're much better than the evil of the modern left. So that guy didn't get mad about that. But at all. And then this next guy goes, left this community because of the political shit came back because I love the big Lebowski leaving again because actual Nazis are calling are calling Trump and Trump supporters Nazis, then telling people to keep fucking quiet when they voice their thoughts or opinions.

Funny how the left calls everyone on the right a Nazi, then tries to shut up people on the right with literal violence, fuck y'all. So that's, and then, yeah. Yeah, and then the next guy goes- People that's in our podcast not gonna help that argument. We have a known leftist who used to engage in random violence on people.

I'm not a leftist. You're a known leftist. I'm actually a known super leftist. You're a known super leftist. You're a known- I'm not a leftist to anybody. You're a known- Me as well. Me as well. I'm also a leftist. I'm more leftist than you.

Well, maybe you are. I agree you are, but you're not known. Brian is actually known that way. And here he is. We find out that he definitely did exactly like this person said, where it's like, oh, he doesn't get his way. So he just does violence with his with his gang. Hmm. I don't know. You know, I bet the dude would want to free Palestine. How about that? Yeah, he would.

He would. For sure. The dude was a left Palestine. How about that? Yeah, he would. He would for sure. The dude was a leftist. Thank you. Was that, I think the dude was a leftist. I think. Yeah. I think the dude was progressive. Was he, but he hung out with Walter. Walter's his friend. And I feel like Walter was conservative. You know, there is one post in here where they're kind of arguing about the dude's politics and a guy's like, Hey, that's neat. Anyway, you're still wrong about the dude's politics because they were saying he might be a little bit. Yeah. Walter is obviously conservative. You know what he's always going on about Vietnam. It's like, what the fuck does this have to do with Vietnam? What does fuck does anything have to do with Vietnam? Yeah. It stopped

it. And he is, but he, he def maybe he's a libertarian. Maybe they're all libra. Yeah. Maybe they're libertarians. I mean, let's, uh, let's take a look at some great dudes in history. Um, first we'll play a little bit more of this guy, cause this is from him. This is from his website, great dudes in history. You're not going to believe this, but there is an online store on the website where you can get like ordained a doodist minister or like get a Jesus fish that says doodism on the inside. So really this is this guy's hustle.

So and how much does it cost? And when are we doing it? Oh, if it's expensive, I'll get you one. No, that's the opposite of it. Isational tone and you may feel threatened. But before you go pulling a gun on the lanes to defend Judaism, let us consider how we, as Judaism, can answer these provocative questions in a kindly and chill manner. The problem is that Judaism sometimes gets grouped in with other modern religions, when in fact we are not very much like them at all, beyond the seeming newness of our founding.

For this discussion, we'll look at two types of mock religion and contemplate how they are and are not like Judaism. Don't even speak. Listen, there's more fucking lore behind that than anything yours is based on a fucking movie. This is like this is this is real life for talking about with pasta far in as and by the way, I hate his goatee. I do got one of those grand goatees like the mustache and and go to is really long like Sebastian Gorka kind of really It really looks like a fake one, you know, like it looks like it's sort of stuck on to make a child look old There's something I know and I hate to judge somebody off their looks

But I do know his chin is as sunken as his eyes Very much does not have a lot underneath that. That's the reason why it's so thick. Yeah And the mocking religion a lot underneath that. That's the reason why it's so thick. Yeah. And the mocking religion. When they first hear of Judaism, people often start with. So like it's the guy they showed, by the way. Yeah. As like the stuck up, pretentious guy who dared to ask why you devote your whole life to this 1998 Coen Brothers film was really kind of looked like Gavin. He looked like Gavin, to be honest.

Yeah, he's a hipster, but sort of a spitting image of Gavin. So I don't know if that hurt to see Gavin. I'm fucking, I'm fucking appalled, but at least he put his glasses back on. This motherfucker looks like he's always a pirate for Halloween. Huh? Well, I'm not sure what you mean, but he definitely has terrible looking eyes and I'm very happy that he's put his shades on and their blackout. You can't see any of his eyes, which is definitely for the best. But it's still like a real religion man. Get it. Oh, he took them off again, Gav.

Sometimes they confuse us. You keep putting them on and taking them off. This video has a lot of ins and a lot of outs and a lot of what have yous. Yeah. Well, a mock-up religion. These are organizations that simulate being a religion, but they are more like the facades on those old-timey movie sets at first glance. They look like other religions Do you know you know that there's stuff outside of movies, sir? Do you know that for these things are movies is the whole thing of life?

He said he said those are movie sets, you know, but the big Lebowski is actually shot on location Yeah, so he didn't use sets. You know, I think they might have sometimes, but no, they were not on studio. They're right. You're right. Everything was either honestly nothing on a soundstage. You don't think you think? No, I think you can actually type in Big Lebowski on Google Maps.

You're going to probably see a lot of locations and they're going to have a lot of five stars. Well, let me give you a couple. This is going to come out. This is going to come out. The first holiday of 2025. Wow. Is Palo Mines Day, and that's February 13. And he says Valentine's Day can put a lot of pressure

on couples. It'd be a real drag for those who are single. Well, we don't care about that. Instead of celebrating romantic love, the dudist Palo Mines Day celebrates pals friendship and good buddies occurs one day before Valentine's Day so that those who are in romantic relationships can celebrate it as well. Hold on a damn second. This is not dudist. You know what I mean? The dude wouldn't feel jealous or care or be worried. He's just moving through life. He doesn't need a day to celebrate his friends. He just celebrates them. He just meets people and they come into his life.

Every day, just by way of knowing him as the celebration, that's all you need really. And yet, I mean, I would venture to guess that maybe this holiday took place on the 14th one year and he didn't have anybody to celebrate with because he's the only single guy that he knew. And he might be the only person he knows. He made a holiday for it. And then he did have to move it though in 2017 because he met this girl playing League of Legends or something and they started dating. And so he needed to do a Valentine's day, but they broke up but then he can't move it back.

So he keeps it up. I love the idea that he had a girlfriend and she was like can we not do the Lebowski thing this year? Yeah, honestly. Can you imagine? That's the saddest reality. I'm actually getting anxiety about this guy's life. That's the saddest reality that I can imagine is him finding a girl and she's not into the big Lebowski. He's like, uh, so first things first, we got to get it out of the way before I ask you anything about yourself You're gonna have to sit down and watch this fucking movie. Yeah, and then and then he's just look he's doing the

He's looking at her face And all the parts and he's like stopping himself from saying the lines, you know But he's still kind of saying them under his breath a little bit Like it was a double date too and his friend was like bro, bro, you Scott, you can not put the big Lebowski on. Like you're scaring the hoes. Yeah, dude. Yeah. He's scared in the hose.

Honestly, he's like, oh, what do you not love it? Do you not? He's like, no, I love it, dude. I love it. I love it. I love it. But it's my girl does not love it. Like she's already seen it a bunch of times.

Yeah. This is this guy. I hope his life is cooler than what we're imagining. She gets up to go to the bathroom and she's about to leave the room and he was like, wait, wait, stop. You got to see this part. Here I'll pause it. I'll pause it. And then, you know, she hits him with the devastating. Like you don't have to pause it, you know? Yeah. And she wants to go to the like her plan is to just go to the bathroom and sit down for a minute

Look at her She doesn't have to go Brian she's like how she's just gonna go it like at work I used to do at work when I worked this really horrible job and it like a call center or whatever I would just go to the bathroom and like jerk off while you sit on it. I mean I wouldn't J. Oh Brian knows all about that I know don't say it like that. I won't I'll clarify Brian didn't jack off what he did was he Recommended somebody for a job got them the job and then they got fired for jacking off at their Desk at a call center. Yeah, it was just at the desk So then Brian kept working there afterwards as the guy who recommended the dude who jacked.

Nobody ever brought it up to me. Oh no, I'm not sure they didn't bring it up to you, but. You're like, this is one of the best guys I know. You are gonna wanna hire him. This guy is awesome. Honestly, this guy is awesome. He's not horny. And he's always really engaged. He's always really intently listening to you.

He's not horny at all. He's not too horny at all. I love the idea of you're getting a guy a job and you're like, he's a hard worker and he's not horny at all. He's not too horny at all. I love the idea of you're getting a guy a job and you're like, he's a hard worker and he's not horny all that often. I'll be honest with you, I've never seen him get way too horny. And he sits real close to the desk.

He sits real close. I've said this before and I'll say it again, I do think that it was just, this was 2001. So it was 9-11, 9-11. 9-11 did happen while I was there, but it's 2000, 2001. And I truly, truly believe that it was his first access to a ton of porno. You know what I mean? Because he's like one of those North Koreans fighting for Russia right now? I mean, there's North Koreans there seeing porn for the first time in Russia. And then now they're getting sniped in the head because they keep watching. Hey, Gavin, stop trying to make it political.

Gavin is like an notoriously a political comedian. He's doing it. He's the right. Not these. And the North Koreans are fighting for Russia right now. And they're dying because they keep watching porn and they're like, holy fuck. Black guys, they look pretty cool. Okay. Hangover is February 27th to March 6th. And that is a weekish long celebration beginning February 27th with national Kaluwa day and culminating on the day of the dude, March 6th. This is sort of a dudist lent where we kick back

and appreciate the simple pleasures of life instead of chasing after the more complicated. Yeah. Painful one. It's kind of like when where you kind of give something up except you actually go into a complete a fervor of alcoholism. Where you drink a lot of Kahlua on National Kahlua Day, is, I also didn't know existed. They invented it probably. This is really kind of a sad thing to think of because the thing they're talking about is responsibilities. The thing where you don't worry about those, those things that like, like being a normal person with responsibilities, you just sit or lays around like the dude.

Can I say that, uh, take it easy stir, which is the same day as Christian Easter. Uh, whereas the Christian celebrate the resurrection of Christ on this day due to celebrate the relaxation of uptights by acknowledging that springs always follows winter, we remind ourselves that we can't be worried about that shit. Life goes on, man. Wait, what? What was the beginning part of it? What was the beginning part of it? It's due to celebrate the relaxation of uptights. It's the rest of the relaxation.

What's the relaxation of uptights? Like up tights are the people who are not do this? Yeah, I probably yeah, they're like the the post of Arians I think have a name for him to like just but he goes life goes on man and keeping with the fertility ritual traditions of Esoteric the pagan tradition upon which Easter may have actually be based. This can be a good time to make prayers at the shrine of our special lady. I'll go ahead and- Who is the special lady? It's not the dude?

Here it is, Chris. You'll recognize her. Okay. From the movie. Oh, it's from the movie. Oh, I didn't expect that. Yeah. It's the lady, the artist lady.

Yeah. Played by Julie. What's her name? Well, let me go to this. They haven't given her big Hollywood guy. What's the lady's name? Red hair. She's in Boogie Nights as well.

Very famous actor. She's more Julianne Moore. That's who plays that role, I believe. Well, let's look at this page. I'm sorry, I kind of got emotional there after Brian was reading that. Great dudes in history, pillars of Judaism, these dudas, prophets and peacemakers have existed throughout history. Proud we are of all of them.

Lao Tzu, creator of Taoism, Lao Tzu. Oh, shout out to Lao Tzu. I didn't. OK. So what's up? So people are just are people are just people who are like super chill. They're saying this is kind of the idea. This guy. Let me just say something. Yeah. Being a man is maybe the saddest thing you can be like. It actually fucking sucks. Like shout out to all my men, my guys. Yeah. Well, well this is a guy's podcast you know and we do discover that quite regularly that there is a profound sadness to being a man a lot of the time i love i love all your dumb asses and all your let's not get wild let's not get wild let's not get wild not all of them we don't We do not respect single guys in the

lifestyle, but every other one. I do want to also point out that there is a forum on here, but it's been under construction for several years. So I couldn't look through it. Lao zoo. When things got screwed up in ancient China, Lao zoo didn't get all Mr. Miyagi and try to fix it. He got on his Buffalo and took off for more copacetic pastures. But not pathetic, copacetic, that's one we haven't said.

That's one that's used a lot, copacetic, right? They got fucking Buffalo in China? I guess, but not- Yeah. It was scribbling down a few what have used and helped to find Eastern philosophy ever since. The next one's Heraclitus, who is a Greek philosopher, the man who wrote you can never step into the same river twice propagated the idea that everything was in flux or quote burning. Consequently, one should

make the most of it spark one up whenever possible and step into the river from time to time, preferably with a cocktail and an inner tube a cocktail oh i think i should an inner tube you don't know what an inner tube is i can explain that for you i know what an inner tube is you really not know what you would be doing with one yeah what the fuck like in ashville north carolina they have a river that's a lazy lazy river. Yeah, Gavin, you know this. In Penticton, they have one. Penticton. Yeah, Penticton, they have one. And also there's somewhere else close by that has one. Lake Cowichan on the island also has one.

Look, I know what an inner tube is. I'm not a some kind of idiot. Well, I think you don't know what an inner tube is and now you're reading it I see that you're looking it up and you clearly are yeah, I'm not I'm looking directly into the camera I know what an inner tube is. I always know what one is But yeah, I don't know why they would be sitting at in one is that you go down a lazy river Oh, dude, that's is that I think the dude was that in the movie? No But it's just something he would be taking a lot of liberties on what the dude would and Dude was that in the movie no Taking a lot of liberties on what the dude would and wouldn't do and I know you're a

Purist of that thing, but it's like they're all doing these kind of things that the dude would not fucking it is not Oh, you don't think that the dude would go on a lazy river. Maybe this doesn't have river access. Where does he live again? dude would go on a lazy river. Maybe he just doesn't have river access. Where does he live again? California, LA. Yeah, it's not really a thing that happens there. But it's not a thing people do in California. There's a Los Angeles River. You know what they do? They drive race cars in it. Yeah, I know, because it doesn't have water. From the movies. That's in the movies. Yeah, I know. So I think that if he lived in a different area, I could see this as being definitely a favorite pastime of the dude. I mean, you know, the only thing is like, and we haven't mentioned Donnie, Donnie would

come along. He'd be happy to be there, but Walter would probably be complaining, you know? I think Donnie is the one I relate to the most after an hour. I mean, fucking kill himself. Brian, Brian is definitely the most like I think Donnie is what you're the most. Probably me. No, Brian. I would say Brian is like has Donnie vibes in not not a bad way, though, in like a good way, you know, like I like Donnie. I think Nile.

Yeah, yeah, as men are nihilist, I actually don't care what I don't care. I mean, I believe in nothing. That's a thing to say. I don't care what I don't care. Anything I believe in nothing. That's what the one guy says to say. That's I don't believe in nothing. I can't even believe that. Let's let's let's take a look at this next guy before we play a little more of the dude ism clip. This guy is Snoopy. Okay, so it's getting kind of funny.

You know what I mean? Snoopy always living up to the dictum. It's a dog's life. He also famously said my life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning in it. I'm happy. I can't figure it out. What am I doing right? Okay. So wait, they for their second guy on the list, They had to go with a dog. Yeah. And then finally fourth guy, fourth guy, Jeffrey Lebowski, the dude. So there's only two, there's only two guys that who are the first two, uh, Heracles teas or whatever. Oh, I didn't know. So that was one I met. Yeah. Snoopy. So they've, they've had to go to a dog and then the guy himself Not a great list the uber dude

Not literally because uber wasn't around when the big Lebowski came out. So we're not talking about it is something He probably would do I agree. I agree that if the dude was around nowadays He would be driving uber and left for sure most definitely. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure that's what our guys do. He wouldn't be hustling. Do you know what I mean? Imagine you hired a fucking, okay, you say you're someone that loves this movie, right? And then you're like, okay, I need this XYZ done around my house, so I hire a Task Rabbit to come. And then, and you're like, all right, I need to get these shelves up. I don't know how to do it. So the Task Rabbit comes and then he gets there and it's the fucking dude. All right. You're going to be pissed.

Well, maybe you're taking his damn time. He's yeah, but maybe it's like, hey, this sucks. I got to call another task rabbit person after this to get it properly done. But at least I'll fucking hang with the dude for a bit. Maybe smoke one fucking relax a bit. Well, Jay, maybe bit. Do a J. Maybe do a J. Okay, let's revise my question.

What if it's Reverend Gary? Oh, if Reverend Gary shows up to do anything, I'm locking the door when I see him on the camera outside and I'm calling law enforcement immediately. Reverend Gary makes me very nervous. If Reverend Gary shows up, I'm calling the SWAT team and I'm telling them shoot on site. I don't think you can do that. I would never do that just to be clear. I don't think you

can tell the SWAT team to shoot people. They don't mean to parody other fringe faiths. They intend to become one in their own right. That's why they are for this discussion, a mock-up religion, literally built to look like a religion for the sake of looking like a religion. This is the Church of the Subgenius. Found sometime in the 70s, the Church of the Subgenius follows... Wait a minute. Now, I know I have no room to talk about flubs, but I think he said the Church of the Subgenius.

Yeah, no, he really... This is a really nasty pronunciation here. Here we go. Found sometime sometime in the 70s. The church of the subgenius. Subgenius? Is that what it is? No, it's the church of the subgenius. So he said he better not talk about Christianity or something because nobody fucks with Jesus.

Okay. No, it's not a Zeus. It's literally nobody fucks with the Jesus He literally pronounces and somebody who's seen the movie and not just reading it off of the internet would know that I Know about Jesus they made a second movie about him a spinoff. Yeah, but it's Jesus. I like Yes, they did. It's called Jesus role or something or like, yeah, not that. No, no, no. John Turturro made it. Oh, my God. It's not it's not like a real like the Coen brothers did it make it.

It's not like a real no body fucks with the hazes. So the next day, keep in mind, I've only seen the movie with clothes capturing on because my mother is hearing impaired Wow, that's if you fucking laugh at me. I never had sound on my TVs out of respect in solidarity Fuck the next hole in my true the first parts of it might be that's not true That's not true the part about you listen to stuff. I know you did. I've seen no things No, I never I never do I only watch closed captioning. I put air I put earplugs in even if there is sound insolidarity with my mother. Sorry, Brian. Sorry about this.

Sorry, everyone. The next one is Major Duder. Same date as Buddhist Maga Pooja. I guess this is the day of the year which Buddhists affirm their determination to purify their minds of un-Buddhist intentions and concerns. Likewise, Dudas use this time to purify our minds. Purify our minds. Purify their minds of un-Buddhist ones. So that's where you, next one's April dudes day. That's April 1st, which- April dudes day. That's good. That one's not great. That one's the best one. That one's the best name, April dudes day. April dudes day because honestly, April

fools day. It's like you should keep that one. Just keep April fools day. Yeah. It should be a different day. April dudes day is awesome. As a great dude in history, Mark Quain put it, this is the day upon which we were reminded of what we are on the other 364 days. On this day, we celebrate the foolishness of the human race and also the sense of humor that allows us to abide that foolishness. So that's the quote. I hate when they start talking in that serious kind of way about it. So let's look at some reviews of the big Lebowski before we get out of here. Good idea. Where are these on Yelp? This is on Rot tomatoes. Oh, we love rotten. That's where

you go, Gavin, to find scores to find out if a movie is good, but don't worry about the popcorn score because it's been, it's the only real score. No, but it's, it would be if it was actually real, but it's not, it's somehow they've figured out how to game it. You know, this guy gave it one star. He just watched it November 26, 2024. So this is fresh. Okay. Not literally you gave it one star, but you know what I mean. Yeah. Confusing to refer to it as fresh in this context. But yes, I do know what you mean. There we go. This was a genuine waste of two hours. I understand that the point of the movie is that there is no point, but aside from a few good shots, the writing made it

feel like the entire theme of the movie was fuck it. Apparently there's something to say about each character being a different type of personality and that the dude is drifting through all of it. But I think that's a stretch to say the least. Almost nothing about the movie was engaging. I checked the progress halfway through thinking it was almost over because it felt like it took forever and yet got nowhere. I would go as far as to say that the movie Twilight has more redeeming quality.

Whoa, I would say that I'd prefer to listen to a Nickelback album than watch this bill. This is pure crap. Listen, I mean, I don't really remember the movie that well. I feel like it does have sort of a neandering plot, which is kind of the point. But yeah, I think one star is pretty low for it. It's got some good acting in it, right? It's got some good shit, it's funny.

Yeah, well, that's just like your opinion, man. Dr. T says, one star, absolute dog. No idea why anyone with a brain would enjoy this horrible concoction of scenes. I see why it's popular in America though. Oh, nice. Hey, well I'm, we're, I'm scoffery on this one up here in Canada. No shots fired at me. KCM gave it one star and said, hated the whole thing. Unfunny film about a dirty, lazy slob, calling himself the dude who swears incessantly and gets into some unfunny scrapes involving

a kidnap only plays skittles as an interest. No doubt. He's the type of person many fans of the genre will aspire to be like, but a sad reflection. That's kind of accurate. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This guy says one star. I can't be the only one that thought this was thoroughly unimpressed. That's what he says. One of the weirdest all over movies I've ever seen. I wouldn't say weird in a good way. The plot never really pulled me in and I was kind of looking for the next plot point, not to gobble it up, but more so to catch onto something. I don't quite understand what that part of the review, not

to gobble it up. I didn't see much comedy through it. I got a few good laughs out of me, which he gave it one star. Yeah. If you get a couple good laughs in a movie, I don't know. comedy through it. I got a few good laughs out of me, which he gave it one star. Yeah, if you get a couple good laughs in a movie, I don't know, I think it's worth two stars. I give a star per good laugh, but maybe that's, I don't know, because I don't feel like a movie

will often make me really laugh, you know? For you with this movie, it was probably 50 stars, right? Yeah, yeah, I would have given it a high. Okay, Brian, the dude abides. You've used that one like nine times. He says it a lot. Well, he says it once, but they say it a lot. I will agree.

Before I do another review, let's look at another great dude in history, and that is Jennifer Lawrence. Okay. I'm listening. Despite this is I hate to think of the Reverend writing this that bothers all the Reverend made these. Yeah. The guy we're looking at right now. Oh, that's scarier than I thought. I don't like him writing angelic yet down to earth actor. Despite her endearing good looks and the undying affection of everyone on earth, Lawrence hasn't let stardom warp her. Deeply down to earth and often refreshingly casual,

she's also an outspoken big Lebowski fangirl. She even played Maude in a high profile public reading of the screenplay. Uh oh, so I would be... This is why. He was actually there, but he was in the building next door with a scope. Yeah, he's just like, I was in the vicinity and watched it and she was very, very good and took a very interesting road to the airport as well. Yeah, this guy...

Did not see that coming. This guy is, it reads a little bit like, you know, down to earth and like, she's not like spoiled by Hollywood and stuff like that. But then when you find out that she's, she's just publicly voiced her support for the big Lebowski, you realize it might not be a horny stalkerish thing. It might just be the Henry Cavill thing, you know, with war ham. Uh, I don't know that you might be right about it being the Henry Cavill thing. Here's one

that ties our show in. Uh, it is Jerry Garcia. Ah, Jerry Garcia, the Grateful Dead. Of course, Gavin, you were on, it doesn't just tie the show in. It ties the episode that Gavin was on, the Jam Band episode. Yeah. Ties it together really good. Oh, that fucking... Very nice. Very nice, Brian. That would have hit so hard if we hadn't have done the tie the room together thing a bunch

of times. Imagine if that was the first one. You know, so thinking of Jam Bands, do you know how a jam band knows that they're they're the songs done? Fuck. Do you know how the jam band knows the songs done, Brian? I don't know. Oh, so actually they have a hamster backstage on a wheel and when it when it dies, the songs

over. That's just awful. That's just awful. That's awful in a way that I wasn't even expecting. Yeah. So here's a look at this one. Now let's look at look, look a little bit of this video here because this is an important one. I think for everybody listening that might be a do this, especially you, Chris, this could help. I'm not a do this just to be clear. I never, Oh God, he's got a different look now. It's equally scary. He's got a green screen. He's got a green screen. I hope. Cause I hope he's not in a church and he's got a different dude. Like what are these? There's wool like

jacket or whatever. He's looking like a, he's looking like a character. I know he's played red dead redemption. Yeah. Yeah. He's, he's, he's got the collar popped up. And you know what I'll say? That's he might have just gained some weight, but it's too tight. The dude would never have the jacket, the wool. It would be it's hanging off him. It's got this doesn't look so he was actually seeing a new girl

and she liked she liked the the big Lebowski. And they are actually going on pretty well for a couple of years. So they are they are they're getting married. seeing a new girl and she liked she liked the the big Lebowski and they were actually going on pretty well for a couple of years. So are they well they're getting married? Yeah, you'd think so. But then she did his laundry and she put his sweater in the dryer. So, yeah, he actually had to violently end that relationship. What?

I think he had three sweaters. Don't say he did it violently. He just broke up with her. All right, here he had the three sweaters. Don't say he did it violently. He just broke up with her. All right, here we go. Hello dudes. I'm the Reverend Gary Amasylvia. I'm here to tell you about the new, totally not required, wedding officiant course we are now offering. So I think, I don't know if it costs money because he's telling you about it as though this is a commercial wedding offic he will, he'll have, well, and that would mean he's got to be able to officiate your wedding as well.

He can ordain you, but if he can ordain you, then he must be ordained himself so he can officiate the wedding. Right? Cause that's why I want when I'm, you know, when I'm tying the knot and listen, when I'm tying the knot with my sweetheart, I want him to be there. I want him with sunglasses on. Fellas, fellas, fellas, you can't. You got to let the lady plan the wedding, all right? Oh, I'm pretty sure. If you let one of these guys plan the wedding, you're going to get Reverend Gary down there. I promise you, Ariel will be very happy if I get Reverend Gary to officiate a wedding.

The big ordination kit is thirty five dollars mark. And I like this. This is a cool move from Reverend Gary that I have to show you. So he marked out the forty six and then made it $35. Do we actually? Oh, it's on sale. That's fucking, that's sweet. That's all, it's a, God, it was, it's 46 down. That's awesome. I don't like it.

I'm giving him my credit card info. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wouldn't, I would use, I'd get a burner card or whatever, some sort of prepaid. You can also get a $22 ordination kit or just you can get the certificate for $10. Look at this big house he's in now. So I'm probably, you can get a Dutis ID card for 15 bucks. You're gonna really go all out and just, you're like, Hey, I'm, you know, I get the ID. I the ID. I can pull my ID out. You can get

a pendant for 15 bucks. You can get the ordained Judas priest patch for five. But wait a second. I'm just trying to understand. This is for a wedding? You're not legally married though. You can legally marry people as a, as a dude. Yeah. So you, so it's a real ordained minister. Like it's a real thing, but then they're also just kind of tacking on this, this dude, this dude part. Like this will be legal under law. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. You get anybody in the United States. anybody can get ordained. Anything. Right. Ryan, if like, do you think, would you do like a, like a, obviously you're already married,

but it would be cool to kind of do a renewal of vows type situation. Would you, if, if we could set that up, would you do a dude themed, um, renewal with Reverend Gary officiating it? I will, I will tell you this. This is what I'll offer. If you're getting married anytime soon, I will fly to you. I will get ordained as a doodist minister and I will marry you. Please don't.

Ariel listens to the podcast. Now- You have to get those. Yeah, now this surprise is really neat, but if do. I, if you do that, Brian, I'll probably be at the wedding as well. And I'm probably going to be in the bridal or the groom's men. And I'm going to wear the, and I'm going to wear a nihilist suit. And regardless of what Chris says, I'm going to dress up like that. I might dress up like Walter, but I am going to send you a sweater to wear.

Yeah, I would wear the sweater and everything I would use. Look, I have a white Russian and I won't. I will not. I will not be telling you guys if I do plan to get married speech speech. Yeah, I'll fly out there. Yeah. So one thing I want to say about you, I mean, if I did, if I did get married, I hope you would fly out for it.

Yeah. Wife and kid out to do all come out willa bow ski thing This is like mice This is a preview of my speech at the at the wedding everyone was like speech speech speech and like hey everyone, you know I've known Chris for some a long time, you know I yeah, I mean for him to get married, you know, it's I Let me just say before I tear up, the dude abides. Everyone would be like, what the fuck, man?

Like, nobody would, like, everyone would be like, oh, it's like the people I know, like my family, be like, is this your friend who's like, is this like New York style comedy that he's doing? Like, they wouldn't understand. Let's see if we can get a little intro. If they don't understand, I can send them to a little video that can explain Judaism to them. No, Gavin, we have to play the video.

We're doing a podcast right now. Okay, let's find out how this is done. A mostly complete course to help you prepare for the modest charge put before you as a wedding officiant. Of course, what like, yo, okay. Okay, so he's out in the wilderness now. The lighting's not great. He's a bit washed out.

Thankfully, he has his glasses on, but that was a shocking cut. He's holding a pickaxe. He has an axe in his hand and he's in the middle of the forest Yeah, modest charge put before you as a wedding officiant Of course what like school with tests and stuff and doodism Yeah, man Wait, he's in the course now. He's in a dood is style. So it's not too exhausting. It only takes a couple of hours. What? Whoa!

But like- Whoa, what? Excuse me. Excuse me? These people are like, okay, so hey, you want to get into this fucking thing where you just like laze around and do nothing? Here's a fucking two hour, you know, course that you have to like, it's really isn't that long of course to become an ordained minister, but I don't think a lot of them want to do that.

Hi, man. Because as more and more doodists are performing wedding ceremonies, this will be a good way to help equip yourself for navigating your way through the officiating process. Can you pause it? Sorry. I was like, he's like, as more and more people are ordaining do like, you know, I was like, is this happening? But then he started talking in the future tense and you realize that this is like a, it's a prediction that he's making. It's gonna happen. And as they start being so many of them, this will be the only way to differentiate. Well, engaging Dudas as officiants, a sense of wellbeing knowing their Dudas priest is nearly preparing to help them get through the wedding ceremony. Wait, Dudas priest? Dudas priest?

Dudas priest? Hello in the font logo right now, everybody please get on it, make it, Dudas priest. You think it's been done before? Actually, well, I did find a big Lebowski themed wedding that happened at Chopps Bowling Alley in Omaha, Nebraska. That's cool. But it doesn't say on their offbeatwedding.com if they had a dude is ordained minister, so I don't know if it's official.

Yeah, you're saying they might not even be married in the doodism verse. Yeah. To be clear, there is nothing in doodism that says one has to take this course. However, some dudes may want to take it to sharpen their wedding efficient game or just to have a little bit more about dudeism. There are also some dudes who just like to carry certifications or human for some reason humans like having

fancy pieces of paper to hang on their walls or a nifty ID in their pocket that they can see. This is money for him. This is actually ID and he's he's tricking them right now. He's doing like he's that's why the camera came really close there. He's like trying to like hypnotize him. He's like, some people like to have a little card in their pocket. It's so important to them.

Yeah, not me, because I'm kind of like chill. But like, yeah, for some people, they want a designation. It's something to put on their wall, which kind of like chill but like yeah, they want a designation It's something to put on their wall, which of course again. Yeah, the dude would not want It's the exact opposite of what the dude would want. You don't know what to do to want. You know, we all have our different You know, we all have our different Interpretations of our religion which we're all do this now. Well, yeah, I mean, yeah, I I think I'm the most qualified dude is here and I so I think I'm the best to speak on it. I have the closest connection to the dude.

Do you know what I mean? Like the dude, I feel like sometimes I feel like the dude does sort of speak through me in a way, if that makes sense. I hope that doesn't sound crazy, but it does. It makes perfect sense. I can't find the course on the site, which is a bummer because I really like to know what, how much the course costs. Oh yeah. Like how much the whole thing and like how much they're trying to get out of people for this complete bullshit, you know? It's 35 bucks for the whole kit. It's got one dudas priest ID card one ordination Certificate one ordained dudas preach patch. Oh this guy's losing money on this probably

Any marked it down any market yeah, that's actually fucked up because he's marked it down from 46 which 46 is probably his break-even point he's just trying to like break even. He's losing money on this. 11 bucks. He doesn't need the money though he has such a big library. You can't go you can't go for free to the do you abides it's a by University it's oh okay that's for free they They've had yeah, and they've awarded 58,086 degrees I just I I abide so just just Like it is it's a thing you just sign up for on a website or whatever Well, it does say this some celebrities with an honorary doctorate like an honorary PhD. Yeah

honorary doctorate, like an honorary PhD. Meryl Streep, Ben Affleck, John Bon Jovi, Orlando Bloom. And what does that have to do with... Well, what do you mean? Those are famous movie stars. Yeah, yeah. And Oprah Winfrey, Ed Sheeran. I think this is humor. He said Ed Sheeran? He did. Well, I think these are people that they've honorary, like they've they've they've given them you know, this thing without their I don't think they've asked for it would be

my guess. Well, Chris, one thing I know that we'll be doing on the stream is watching a dudist wedding. Yeah, I just is going to happen. Let me one more time here. Hit play on this thing and see see what this crazy guy what this friggin crazy guy is saying. Wait, where's I'm on the wrong? I can't find the fucking page. Sorry about this. Yeah, but oh, here it is. Whip out and show off. Collecting certifications is a groovy pastime for some. I'm still forklift certified.

I haven't even seen a forklift in over a half a decade. Hey, shout out. I can't believe that. Shout out, by the way, that's not how forklift certification works. As somebody who has previously, I just mentioned I worked at warehouses, I've been forklift certified.

It does not, it's not a lifetime certification. You need to get that shit updated regularly to make sure that you're still safe to drive that forklift nice try buddy you might have a fucking piece of paper but you ain't certified for shit no more man sometimes we do things just because it sounds fun and groovy and that's reason enough stop saying groovy no that's cool but what's in it for me oh you get a rake he has a rake I see doing the hard work and the weird part about it is I guess he's meant to be playing different characters But he's wearing the same stuff in all of them

But he's doing yard work like his other character is is a guy that does yard work Yeah, he's cuz he's not yet a dude so he still like does stuff to help around the house If he fully like converts, then you won't see him doing any more yard work He will become an absolute burden on everybody around him. Yeah Yeah, see I like to watch those videos of like an overgrown like house in like Florida or something And then a guy comes in and he and he in and he just does it for the people that live there and they're all happy about it. Those people who leave their house like that, they must be dudists.

Some of them might be dudists. Some of them might be struggling with other issues as well, who knows, but there's probably some dudists. I think every one of them is dudists, every overgrown out. It's so big, it's growing by the second. It's crazy how many there are. Comprehensive lesson in wedding officiating. After some reading and watching a few videos, you will have a solid understanding of what it takes to be a wedding sodomizer.

Well, also- A sodomizer? Did you just say- Oh, no, sodomizer. Oh, I thought he said a wedding sodomizer. That sounds horrific. That sounds horrific to go to a wedding sodomizer That sounds horrific to go to a wedding and do that

I'm not doing that. Yes, I Can go I will be there, but you didn't know what I must Know what I do though, right? So You say sucking off a guy that's sucking off a guy. Which is chill. Did you say sucking off a guy? That's sucking off a guy. That's awesome. Alright, well, fucking a guy in the ass. You get a comprehensive lesson in wedding officiating. After some reading and watching a few videos, you will have a solid understanding of what it takes to be a wedding solemnizer.

We'll also hook you up with a bunch of handy handouts, checklists, and other materials to help you prepare for the big day. Once you've completed the course, you can print out or purchase a certificate of completion to flaunt your status as a certified Judas wedding officiant, if you're into that sort of thing. How much is it? Yeah, that sounds cool. I don't like seeing him with an axe. How much is it? Yeah, that sounds cool. I don't like seeing him with an axe. Yeah, the axe is like, it's the way he's holding it and stuff. It seems very threatening kind of. He doesn't seem like somebody who does yard work from the way he's holding it. I don't know. My hope is that we see him split in log. Well, he had no one to ask, I think, if the axe was in the shot or not. So he was like,

I probably got to hold it up pretty high cuz I am I am a one-man operation here He's trying cuz he's holding it. I want to bother anyone with like his project. So he's well It's kind of like he's like the politician or whatever who showed up at the thing for the photo op You know or like the owner guy doesn doesn't really know what he's doing. Yeah, I'm duck hunting. Gavin, we're not gonna end with politics. That's how you appeal to people. How much is it gonna cost me?

It's already the 10th and I got rent to. That's one of the best parts. It's totally free, man. So, behind you, hang on, his background now is from Lord of the Rings, I think. It's the Hobbit. Or the Hobbit. I'm actually thinking that we're about to go on a little bit of a journey here. I've never had that.

There's only 30 seconds left. It's like right over his shoulder is the Hobbit. It's a really close-up shot of the Hobbit. Well, that's just your opinion, man. That's- To help keep this course updated. And we do have plans to expand it into a registry of due dis-deficients at some point.

Oh, good. You are also invited to purchase the certificate and or the ID. You don't have to spend a dime, but if you have four or five dollars, maybe a bit more that you can spend, we would appreciate any claims you can leave behind. We have a monkey to feed, too.

So like if this interests you, man, go ahead and check the description down below to learn more. You think they're thanks for listening. All right. Well, we are minimizing the monkey for five, four or five dollars. Maybe more if you could. I mean, listen, whatever you think that's worth. Hey dude, we need to have dudeism recognized as an official religion here in Europe, but maybe that's just too much hassle, man.

I don't know, bro, the dude abides. Yeah, these are the comments underneath the YouTube video. What is that? You know, what would that sound like? You know, dude-ism in Europe? What would that sound like? Oh, Brian. I will likely sign up later.

He's good with accents. Brian, do you want to do like imagine dude-ism? You've been doing a British accent a lot lately. Can you imagine the British dude and give us a taste of it? Oy, mate. The dude abides. Not bad. It was an oy.

This person says, I will likely sign up later, but I don't do weddings because I must get a business license and pay taxes on whatever I charge. Besides, social security restricts my income until I'm 65, so it's not worth it. Okay. You're not really getting the whole vibe of it. OK, Brian, Brian, Brian, Brian, Brian, Brian. You do Chris's wedding and I will fucking officiate his funeral. Thank you. Yeah.

What? Yeah. Yeah. You're coming here, man. Fuck it. He's just bowling up in the heaven, man. I'm going to put a J and let's put a J in the cat in the casket. Oh, did you get this? Which you hit my voice in your. I'm going to put on the I'm going to put on the record here that if I die, we've been talking about this quite a bit lately, too.

If I do die, I do not want any sort of a big Lebowski themed funeral. You know, and where you're raising your kid, dude, I think you're getting I think you're I do not want any sort of a big Lebowski themed funeral. It's going to be a Judas funeral. And you're raising your kid Judas. I think you're going to get cremated, and I'm going to frickin' roll you up in a blunt. Buddy, you can't. I'll throw you off the thing, and then the wind will blow and get all over my face.

My friend Chris said he wanted to smoke him, man, in an inner tube with a cocktail. And you're raising your kid do this, right? No, of course not. Yeah, you are you'd actually sent me a photo of him and you said look at this little dude Well, yeah Common term that you use to describe Okay, so maybe I use it every now and then this at this Brian he is in a sweater no, I'm not I use it every now and then. And Brian, get this.
