Tonight is a very important night. Tonight is a night where we talk about a movie of substance. We talk about a movie that examines things that Hollywood is always afraid to examine. surfing ninjas.

And we are joined tonight by some of our favorite past guests serving as my co-host for the absent June and Jason. I want to introduce you to them right now. Oh my gosh, you're ready for this. From episode 11, the tourist. Who was that, right?

Who you know? He is a hilarious writer and actor. He wrote for happy endings. see him all the time on Snapchat being hilariously funny. He is also a lot on Comedy Bang Bang. Please welcome Gil O'Rey. There he is.

Welcome, Gil. Now, we were talking about this. Did you see Surf Ninjas in the theater? I didn't see it in the theater, no. Okay. So it's a home video rental for you? Yes, it was. Blockbuster. It has,

this is the first time I saw this movie. But it doesn't. have like the most like kid catching like cover box. Like it is like kids are surfing. Leslie Nielsen's on a surf. It's a shot midsurf.

They're in the middle of the barrel. Yeah. Yeah. And what would you say of like, would you say that surfing is really good in this? Like photographically done? Like really well captioned? Oh, absolutely not.

No. For a movie that calls itself surf ninjas, I would say it's probably the shittiest. I mean, there's maybe 50 seconds of surfing in the entire movie. A lot of ninja. Not a lot of serving. From episode

132, Bloodsport. She is the star of loosely, exactly Nicole. You can find that online right now. She performs at UCB you saw in Mike and Dave Neve for wedding dates. Please welcome Nicole Beyer! Welcome, Nicole. Did you ever know of Surf Ninjas

before I put this DVD in your mailbox? No. Never. heard of it before in my life and it really delivered. You felt like the ratio of surfing and ninjing to you was okay. Well

no. I mean if we're going to get real you said it was like 30 seconds of surfing. Yeah. Like Rob Schneider never got on the surfboard and you're the white man in the movie. What are you here for? A lot of people there's a lot of odd

surfing choices in this movie. I mean well we'll get into it all. I Rob Schneider, I really I feel like we could spend a whole episode only talking about that character. I'm excited. Our final guest co-host tonight. He was in

Episode 6, Battlefield, Episode 98, L-O-L with Miley Cyrus. He is in Transparent in the upcoming movie Baywatch and is doing a show with me called DriveShare, which is on Verizon Go 90. Please welcome Rob Hubel.

Welcome, Rob. Thank you. you. This is, I have to say, I'm so excited that you're all here to talk about this movie. I've saved Surf Ninjas for the right occasion

and I can't think of a better threesome to watch this with because we're kind of like the... The three of us specifically? The three of you when I could pick my favorite people because I feel like, you know, we're kind of like the Surf Ninjas.

We go surfing once a week together. We also do motosurfing. Motosurfing. They're cars. All right, so... Did you just already... You asked, how many people have seen the movie? A lot of people.

Everyone, yeah. And I say to all of you, Kwan Su! Kwanzu! I actually, I haven't seen the movie I read the book. So that's not in the book, so I don't... Well, yeah, the book is...

The book definitely does deviate a lot. It's a lot different. I gotta say, um, right off the bat, just generally, for a children's movie, it's very dark. Like, if you just took out all the themes, like I know he talked about at the top,

but it's like murder and revenge and houses are being burned down and parents are being kidnapped. Meanwhile, the main plot is children trying to be, like, people are trying to kill Chilk. It's a lot for like a PG movie. That's not your go-to theme for kids' movies is like kids trying to almost getting murdered.

Yeah. By the way, the house that gets burned down gets exploded so nonchalantly. Yeah. We'll get into that maybe. Yeah, I mean, Yeah, there's so much. It's like, oh, I turn it on the gas to blow up your fucking house.

Now you have no choice but to come with me. And did they have like neighbors? Like, so many people must have died and they just walked away. Yeah, that was not a small explosion. That house fucking, that was like a lethal weapon to explosion. Yeah. I was saying to Gil, like, I don't think this is an inexpensive movie. This was a, like, I think they'd go.

I think they go to Thailand. Like I was looking at Thailand and I was like... I went to the Wikipedia page. You go to Thailand. The budget is not there because I think they were embarrassed. Yeah, no one didn't find the budget. They spent this much and didn't make any money. Like I was trying to figure out where those huge stairs were in L.A.

Like, where is that? Oh, I loved those stairs. Every time you fell down, I laughed out loud. I laughed so hard. But I mean, we got to... They tripled down on that joke. They were like, he threw him... We got to.

these stairs. I mean, look at these stairs. I mean, there's more than 15. We got to use them three times. Just to pull it back, obviously, you know, it's a seminal moment in film when Ernie Ray's senior and senior get to work together. You get to see father and son.

Can you give me a little backstory because I'm not familiar? Well, Ernie Ray's Jr., to me, anyway, growing up, was the coolest because he was in all the karate movies, like, sidekick and, and, like, you know, he would, like, and what else? I don't know. Any movie that was karate. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, too, he was in.

Yeah, he was in any other surfing movies? No, he's more... So he's not really surfing in this movie. No, he's more of the... He's standing there on like Apple Boxes as the camera pans past him in a parking lot, right? You would think they could pay for at least one surf class

for a movie called Surf Ninjas. Probably. Seems like it. Let's get him on the board and we'll get one shot of them that I want. Eddie Rize Jr., the oldest? brother? Ernie, yeah, Ernie Ray's Jr. is the old brother

and his dad is the one with the eye patch. Can I just say, I'm so mad that they made me watch almost an hour of that movie before he took his shirt off and was hiding all of those muscles. I was like gore. I'm flound it to be like, he's 15. I will say

that when he did take off his shirt, it was shocking. Yes. Yeah, yeah. I got slight hard. See, maybe I'm just not sexual. I was just angry that he didn't fight for the first hour. Why isn't he fighting?

That was me. But I guess, you know, he was pretty hot. My, well, like, I think we have to talk about the trio of the film. Obviously, it's Ernie Ray's Jr. He has his brother, Adam, right? Yeah, this is Adam. And then their other friend

who's 32 years old. He's so old in that movie. He's so much older. He's so much older. He's Rob Schneider. And I looked and I said to myself well clearly this is before he got S&L.

No. It was before his last year on S&L. He was on S&L from 89 to 94. This was a 93. He's supposed to be playing a 15 year old going on 16

and he literally looks like a dying cancer patient. In the first shot, he has like this weird hat on and he's like, he's like, has a receding hair line. He looks so fucking, and his hair is dyed,

like such a shit pink. Such a weird orange. Yeah. It's like a trumpy. Yeah, it's like the color of like, you know, when you see like nuggets being made, like that pink sludge, that's the color of his hair.

And I feel like they say, like, said, are we nervous that we have a man, a 40-year-old man with these children? They're like, we'll dye his hair. Those fuckers won't know. Like, they were like, we young him up, we young him up. And they gave him those sideburns that go straight up the forehead.

Like, why not just make him the short-order cook at the dad's restaurant that, like, pals around with the kid? Because it makes more sense logically that his only bit is to think that he's the prince or whatever. Literally that's his only game and the whole thing. And it's like, are you stupid? Did you hit your head? But he didn't because he never surfed. It is, and the way, oh my God.

By the way, it was cool when they were surfing and they surfed into the bad guy with the spear gun. Oh, yeah. And then he washes up on shore and immediately goes away. By the way, that shot I thought to myself, because there's a shot where he washes up on shore And in that shot, there's a little kid and a dog and a dead guy. And I thought that shot took like two weeks to get that fucking dog and that fucking kid and that dead guy to wash.

And he washes on the shore and then he goes after him. Did the dog have a feast? What is that dog doing? By the way, let's talk about how shitty the ninjas are that are sent to dispatch our surf ninjas. first of all, they attack in broad daylight and in blue outfits. They are the most aggressive.

They're like ninja, I believe, is about stealth. Yeah, but all of the, one of the worst parts of this movie, I would say, is the camouflage. Like, there's a shot of a Jeep at one point that's, like, camouflage. That you can tell they painted, like,

three minutes before they said action. It's like a guy just, like, spray painted some blue. And it's just, like, and their outfits are, you know, I was baffled by why they just never took action. They would do these moves in front of, like, Rob Schneider for literally 15 seconds, and then he would, like, hit them with a plate, or they would have, like, guns and just never fucking fire them. Fucking do something.

Well, I feel like everything about them is wrong. Like, they travel around in an empty garbage truck, but there's only two ninjas in the back of the garbage truck. So the garbage truck comes in and then like, the door opens and two ninjas drop out. Just get a compact car, guys. Fucking drive a Kia around. You'll be fine. You'll be less noticeable than driving a giant truck.

They were bad ninjas. They attack in the middle of a classroom. And nobody noticed. Yeah. Nobody. That classroom was filled with kids. Nobody. I don't like these ninjas.

I felt like we saw the beginning of ghost riding the web here because motosurfing is... Now, motosurfing, these kids love surfing, obviously, but they really love to surf in their Jeep. Yeah. But it's very dangerous what they're doing. There's a scene right after this where the cop has pulled over some other kids

that were motosurfing and they lie about it, but then he pulls out the paddle, so he's like, you know, I busted you. Like, that's the thing. It's like, the paddle is the giveaway. I don't, I don't get what paddling has to do with surfing. Why do they need paddles for fucking...

It's not like modal paddle board. Yeah. But it's also like, that's the thing in Santa Monica. Like, we love to surf so much that when we drive half a mile from one location to the other, we have to mind the act of what we're going to do, yeah. We got to be surfing at all times. There's some form of surfing. We kind of get warmed up.

So obviously, if you're just joining us, these two children are being hunted down by ninjas. We don't know why. How old is the older child? He's 15. He's about to be 16 in three weeks. But in real life is he? Oh, he's probably 29.

Yeah. That's a man, right? Yes, that's a definite man. I mean, he takes off that. All man. He says something that's so kind of great, like, in the beginning, they go into school here. And, like, he's, oh, that's a thing.

He's always, like, saying, like, I'm real smooth. I'm real smooth. He's not smooth. No. And he doesn't even say, like, I wrote down one of the lines, like. All of their surf talk sounds like a 45-year-old white guy wrote that surf talk. Yes. You know, it's all like, hang loose, cool, bro, bro.

They use that, they use, I wrote down. They used the word, the joke, psych. three times. Which is a great joke. It's a great joke. He's a great joke. He's a rule of threes. Well, he says when he's going to school, he goes, yeah, I promised

that I would perform a native ethnic dance. He doesn't label, like, you would never say a native ethnic dance. You would say like, a Ponsu dance, a Taiwanese dance. You wouldn't say a native ethnic.

You wouldn't just like leave that. Like, that's not like a catch-all. I thought that was an odd choice that didn't narrow it down. And then also when he was like giving an example of his joke, he's like, you gotta be smooth. Like when your teacher asks you where Spain is,

go, it could be anywhere. That's not a joke. Like, you had a chance to write this movie. You could have, it wasn't improvised. You could have gone back and like, well, yeah, let's be like, I think it's where it rains on the planes. And I just made that up now.

And I think it's slightly better than it could be anywhere. They're not good in school. They're not good in school. Because they care about surfing and ninjaine. Well, they don't care about ninja. Well, they're about to. No, they only care about surfing.

But, like, the native ethnic dance, when that teacher, like, doubles down and it's like, we picked an ethnic kid, an Asian kid to do an Asian-inspired. And then the dance, and the dance they choose to do, you know, so they're seeing like... Oh, so why is this man out of school? Is he making a visit? That's Wu, by the way, from Deadwood.

Oh, okay. Fucking Wu. Yeah, like his country sent him over to America to visit elementary schools. I have no reason. And this school does not look like a fancy school at all. No, it's a public school. Yeah, he came to Santa Monica.

That's where Baba Rum came to came to. And again, it's a movie made in 1993, so all the cool kids are singing this song. A nation American student has been persuaded to volunteer and prepare a welcoming presentation. That's the part I would play in the movie.

Is in the traditional ethnic style. Oh, that's it. In the traditional ethnic style. In the traditional ethnic style. You know, ethnic. Ethnic! That's crazy.

Like, no one flagged that on any level. Well, I guess it was so they didn't have to like pick an Asian place because they picked a fake one. But he's from Ponsu. That's fake. I looked it up on Wikipedia. Wait a second. Now my mind is like, so there's no less. No. No, there isn't. No. It's like made up, I guess, if people were too scared of China or Taiwan or like Korea. I did look this up also. The, the island was made up by Joseph of Conrad actually. In a book called Lord Jim. And essentially

the guy, this island Patuson, I think it was called, is the same island that's in, that Eddie Reyes Jr. is from in sidekicks. Wow. Wow. The guy who wrote this movie wrote the pilot for sidekicks.

So he keeps putting this island into every fucking movie he writes. And let me tell you something. That was all planted for this moment right now. Right now. No one has ever now that guy's just like, oh they get it. You can stand up, sir. You can stand up.

By the way, you would think that the guy who wrote this movie went on to write like other famous kid movies. Nope. Passenger 57, Wyatt Earp, murdering the first, and the hurricane. These are like fucking serious big deal like movies

Wait what's that Europe movie He went He went in the right direction And like a western with Kevin It's like a less interesting tombstone

With Kevin Kossner Okay Any That's how they described it in the trailer by the All right So here's the the ethnic song.

Fighting this kid. Bah, ba, ba, bar barram. Ba' 1983. The auditorium is really into Barbarra. That's a 60s song. By the way, that song,

the fact, it's supposed to show that he doesn't care about school has no effect on him. He just keeps, nothing happens to him because he does that song. I was fucking pissed Yeah, he doesn't get into much trouble No

But I guess because He never really goes back to school Like that day happens And then his father is kidnapped And then Oh you mean Nick Nolte? Yeah, he was kidnapped Are we gonna talk about toneloak at all?

It is there for the taking Tone Loke Tone Loke usually makes great movies always picks his projects very carefully. This is odd. I was confused why, who, what am I supposed to feel about Tone Loke? Am I rooting for him? Like, do I want another older man to be friends with these young boys?

Well, it's odd because Tone Loke is a bad cop, right? We already know that from the get-go. Like, he immediately tells the kids, like, your father's not kidnapped. He just is into bad shit and hiding out. Don't worry about it. He's a scumbag. Your dad's a scumbag.

Anyway, good night, kids. Good night. He's been driving around. He spent all day with those kids. Yeah. And he's like, eh, there's scumbag. And then he, well, then he just, like, tags along? Yeah, it just decides to go

and then later is ridden like a sled. Yeah, yeah. Ridden? Is that a word I can say? He said he hasn't had a vacation in 17 months and so he decides to come along on this journey.

For the laughs, I think it was. For the laughs. I need some laughs. I need some laughs. You handcuffed me, but I'm here for the laughs. Yeah. And we're going to go kill somebody.

I can't wait for the laughs. Yeah, yeah. It's a mission to kill. I'll explain it to my serge later. Yeah, he Okay, so then Well, I guess the other thing too is We got to talk about Leslie Nielsen

Yes Oh boy, can we? Oh boy I love that scene where they're fighting And then that elephant comes And stops on him And then... He's a veiled Darth Vader

Who at certain points Is super goofy Right? And I appreciate that Like I was laughing at some of the less than he else and stuff. But he's also running a full-on torture chamber where people are hanging in like prison balls

like cages. Cages. They're being tortured, like legit tortured and brainwashed. And he like also like hurts. Like he hurt people. Yeah. Yeah. He hurts people.

The tone of this movie has like bipolar disorder. Some of the time it's like it's trying to be scary as hell. And other times it's like so goofy. And he's like playing with the voice. voicemail. That bit made me laugh. I mean, he makes you laugh. I love that he was just like couldn't get wet, but his entire layer was filled with water.

There was water everywhere. What are you doing? There's also a good bit where he was like, just kill him, just kill him. Then he's on call waiting to go. Just kill him. That made me laugh at loud. I laughed at that part too. But then you see that goofy moment.

And then like it's followed by him gouging out someone. someone's eye. Like he literally then gouges out someone's eye. So you're like, what, like,

it would be like if Darth Vader just like murders a bunch of people and then just starts doing physical comedy, like slipping on his cape. By the way, I was watching this with my wife

and she was, she happened to go on the IMD message boards. And it said that Leslie Nielsen during, in between takes was method and would not, would not break character and everyone was scared of him on set.

Was like he was trying to scare them. That's wild. This is the movie he chose to go meth it on. Surf ninjas. Oh, man. Finally, a part I can sink my teeth into where I can actually be, Daniel DeLuist it. I mean, he is the best part in the, I mean, he is definitely stands out as being a

solid part of the movie. this is Colonel Chee I guess the other part about him too that I think is simple to kind of bring up is why is he white Like he shouldn't There's so many white people in this movie Yeah there's a lot of white people yeah

For no reason Like there is no Like I was like oh is he like Tom Cruise's character in The Last Samurai Is like he was an American Who's now been like brought into But he's a leader of these people But there's no reason to be

Why he's no reason why they follow him Yeah It was sort of like a pocketer now a little bit. Like, I thought he... I thought so, yeah. But also the dad who takes them is also white. Why is he white?

Don't know. Is there like a message? Is it like a message about like appropriation or something like that? If an elephant steps on your head, do you survive that? No. Well, only one side of his face got it.

Just one side? The sand protected the other side. Oh, the sand. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, yeah, whenever an elephant steps in your face. As long as there's some sand, you're all right. Wait, is that real? So I was taking in that information.

I was like, I'm going to tell somebody that later. If you ever see... If you're ever around elephants, make sure that I'm saying. It's the same backstory for Phantom of the Opera. Exactly. But now, I would imagine if he stayed in character, he'd be doing something very violent and then super goofy,

like whoopee cushions and then slapping a kid in the face. Why couldn't he answer the phone with that fucking Bluetooth that was attached to his head. Yeah, he should have had... Like, what was that thing? That receptionist... Do they tell us his backstory, like, how he became the leader of this?

No, they just show him attacking the town. That's what I'm saying, and he attacks the town in traditional ethnic garb. Like, so he's not, like, he's not coming in, like, as an American soldier or anything like that. He's already...

has this thing going on. And we don't even know why he wants PatuSan. It's just an island. It doesn't seem to do any. Like, they only have... It's not fair to drill down on these kids' movies. But now, Ernie Ray's Jr. is being saved by his dad, who is his uncle. Spoiler alert.

And then they bring him into, like, the Pachisan culture. And they go to the Pachisan restaurant, which is introduced with someone going, Oh, don't try the chicken. and you're like, oh, this is going to be like a really shitty restaurant. Nope. No, it's not. Not at all. Looks like I'm actually super professional restaurant.

It's like a good, yeah, good place. Very busy. Every dish looks beautiful. They even go into the kitchen and I was like, that's a really clean kitchen. Everything is really well-plated. Like they're running it really well there. And then they reveal to Ernie Ray's Jr. that he's going to marry

this beautiful girl she approaches in a veil and this is the most disturbing part of the movie to me I believe the first line was you know what they say about girls in a veil if they wear a veil do better bail

yeah which is true that's true oh dude better bail she doesn't show her face then pick up the pace like to oh hi I thought it was like, fuck her quickly. No, no, no, no. Either way.

Either run away or fuck her so hard she's pretty. I like, like, don't, yeah, don't fuck her so you have to beg. I wonder what she looks like. Just be like, I'm done. And then you're gone. And now as I said it out loud, I realized that I misunderstood it. I thought it was, if they wear a veil, do DO better bail. And I thought it was like an underage sex joke about being arrested.

For having underage sex. Were you high when you watched this? I just, I just, I've rewounded it twice. What does that mean? Do you better bail? Do you better bail? Do you better bail? Like, he's going to get arrested for fucking her?

And now I said it out loud. I didn't talk to myself when I watched it. But then doesn't Schneider have a good one at the end of it? Yeah, what was his? It didn't rhyme. It was like, oh, that was his joke. Yeah, it was like, she's wearing a veil. You better just go to bad.

I don't remember what it was. It's something really stupid. Is Rob Schneider here? If he is, I'll tell him. This is bad. What do you think is going on in Rob Schneider's mind to say yes to this movie? He's on S&L,

arguably, like a recognizable guy from S&L. And, you know, I'm sure that there's only a couple months to shoot stuff. Surf Ninjas comes across your desk. I think he was like, we're going to Thailand? Fuck yeah. Yes. Are there, is there a giant staircase there?

Yes. I love giant staircases. It's so odd. It's so odd. I feel like they sold them a wrong bill of goods on this movie. I feel like he didn't know it was like children. He didn't know. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a second.

You have a lot of like, you have a lot of faith in Rob Schneider's choices. Is that what's going on here? You're surprised Rob Schneider. There were so many other vehicles that he could have jumped on. Look, I mean, look, based on his body of work, I'm like, why this one? But you've always picked quality. So then they go to the restaurant and then magic happens, right?

Ernie Ray's Jr. has never done karate before. Oh, yeah, then his leg starts wiggling. Ooh, I loved that little leg. I love that you got into. his body and his... I mean, he's a man. Possessed by Taekwondo. But yet I'm also thinking...

Now, Adam, who has the Sega Genesis, which was so nicely built into the film, so organically placed in the movie. Oh, did I tell you that Sega financed the movie? Oh, yeah, yeah. That's what happened. And that the screenwriter had to write sequences that would be good in a video game and a movie simultaneously.

That explains a lot. I wish I had known that prior to taking mushrooms and watching this. Sega Finance the movie and they began to develop the game at the same time and then the game was released

before the film and I love that in the video game Leslie Nielsen's character is like we're going to send them to hell like their father. Like the character is cursing in the game. game. The best part of that

game gear thing that it predicted the future or whatever it is, it was always like seconds before the thing happened. Yeah, it was literally like looking at like, it's basically an iPhone. You're like looking at maps on your iPhone, but you

can see the car that's about to hit you. It doesn't help you at all. At all. Yeah. But it takes away some of the violence because when you watch two cops get their throats slash, which did happen in this children's movie. On a video game screen,

it's not as bad as seeing it in real life. These two cops were fucking straight up Columbia necktied. But you saw it on a little Sega game gear screen. There was what I liked about this movie too is like at a certain

point they definitely ran out of money because they're like, you know, maybe in this sequence we'll do like the Indiana Jones effect, but we'll show the plane going over the map. And the guy's like, great. How about we give you a little boat and you give you the bag it across? And how about the boat that we put you on? We do the same way we did the surfing where you fucking stand in a parking

line and we'll just whip the camera around you. Like that boat is not going anywhere. That's my problem. I like real sailing. I just thought of this. Ernie Ray's Jr. looks possessed by Taekwondo, but isn't, is Adam

controlling him? Or is Adam? Hold on now none of this shit is funny. Because it seems like I would say he would I guess my question is Adam then just has this game gear that he just watches and does nothing with.

But it builds up to the point where he actually looks out in the real world at those trees and he sees them great graphics by the way he sees them become surfboards so he actually becomes a sea. so he realizes his power. But yet at the end of the movie, he goes back to the game gear

to start controlling it again. He's like, it was cool when I saw stuff, but I'm going to go back to the thing I'm most comfortable with, the game gear. There's a gun and a game gear on the ground. He grabs the game gear. I would grab the gun. I would shoot the bad guy.

I wouldn't rest my laurels on controlling a game gear version of the guy. Because then he starts controlling the other guy. Yeah, you're getting way too deep for me. But I like for kids that for that moment when he looks at those trees and he sees surfboards, there's like one kind of

pops up and then like another one and then they probably figured like, but there are going to be some kids that are too dumb to get what we're doing. So then they're like surfboards like pop up closer and closer. So like even the like kids that were like born yesterday are like, oh, okay, yeah, yeah. You can make a surfboard out of a tree. Okay.

So then but then it cuts to a fucking expensive helicopter shot of like 40 dudes surfing. No, no, not surfing. Paddling. There was no fucking surfing in that movie. But it was from a helicopter. It was from a helicopter. Yeah.

That's expensive. Well, then how quickly did they chop down those trees? Like that's a, that would have been a month of work. I mean, ethnic people work hard. They did it for half the price and they did it and twice

a done. There's also a joke Again there's weird jokes in this Like where the kid falls in a hole And he goes, I found Waldo And then like tone to look is like really? Wait, hold on What?

Why? But then the joke is psych Again, isn't that? Yeah, it was psyched. But it's also like Really? It's a fictional character But like

Well, because the 45-year-old guy that wrote it Yeah, it's another reference. Yeah, it's another reference. What a kid does know about it? I don't know about it. Wall. Oh, fucking wild. We didn't talk about the, um, the, the, the, the, the sequence that, uh, drives the, the, the brother and, uh, uh, uh, the brothers to go.

Yeah. Like the, when Lesne Eelson comes in and, uh, basically he murders his, their parents. Yeah. And, and the uncle is telling them this story and they're rolling their fucking eyes. Oh, yeah. The whole, yeah, that drives the whole movie. Yeah. They're bored to tears.

You're leaning against that rock and they're like, oh, fuck. Your parents were fucking murdered. Oh my God. Shut up. We killed our parents. Our parents get murdered all the time. We want to surf.

But I don't think at that moment they believed it. They believed it. So they're like, this is just a story. Our dad's white. But why was that guy and why was that guy ever in Patusanne? It's wild. That guy was in a cooking Pautusan?

Yeah, and he's just chilling in a boat in that story. So he's just there. Oh, yeah, they said he was a sailor. They said he was a sailor that worked for them. But he was the same age. Like maybe they just put like a clean shirt on him. And so odd that he then comes to the States to open up a restaurant that, of course, is there of partisan food, just like burgers and shakes.

So he leaves his ship, his cat, like his shipping world behind him to open. in like a cool diner? Yeah. And then they also, they didn't react to him to the dad having a dot, like finding out that they were adopted. Like, yeah,

I found out I was adopted last night. And then they just move on from that subject. Yeah, nothing really impacts people in this movie. When they're like, that's your uncle. They were like, great, uncle. And I was like, what?

What? No. Well, there is a, there's a, they take a swing at like a heartfelt scene on a couch at some point early on where the younger brother

says like, hey bro, he says I'm feeling something. Like I'm feeling like not so cow bongar or whatever. And the older brother goes like everything's going to be chill dude. You know like so they kind of were like trying to like oh maybe we should have him be sad

but let's not have him be too sad. I'll also argue that for the romance in this movie because I watch these movies for the romance and I did not find there to be that much chemistry between... Those kisses were weird. Those kisses were weird. Yeah, if I were him... She's a bad kisser, or he's a bad kisser.

Don't put it on her. Come on. I felt like she was coming in too aggressively, and he had to, like, kind of monitor for that. Like, she's coming in, like, hard, and he's like, eh. Well, more importantly, I was bummed out by the whole female empowerment bullshit message at the end where she's like, I want to marry who I want to marry. I was like, fuck.

This is Trump's America. You know, I was pissed. Well, but by the way, let's play that scene where she, she, like, dropped some feminism on him here. I know I talked a lot about marrying you and being queen and everything. I know, no problem.

As soon as we rescue my dad, I'll tell him. And then we can go out. No, Johnny, listen. Look, all my life. Yeah, close the umbrella. I've been doing everything that was expected of a traditional Patusani girl. And?

Well, and who do my parents think they are? Telling me who are. gonna marry. I mean, I'll decide who I'm gonna marry, not them. Bullshit. That is if I marry. I mean, that was a really swell kiss and all, but I just didn't want her to feelings about the marriage thing. He is confused. Bad guess. Yeah, weird kiss. We can still date, right? He's really into her.

Okay. Do you better, do better bail. Are we sure he's 29? I don't know. I think he's older, but I think she was like, I got to play a little hard to get, so he works a little bit so when he finally deep dicks me it's worth it right she doesn't want him to be assuming that that deep dick will come for free yeah I buy that but because she definitely like is a little bit like what she whatever she said to those

that team of guys that are going to and I don't think this is a terrible thing to assume gang rape her because she says I don't know if it's gang rape if you're the one saying come here and we'll do this fun thing Yeah, she said, and he goes, what did you say to them? And she goes, don't worry, I'll tell you on our wedding night. So I felt weird by it because I felt like she was young

and those guys were way older. This movie has a lot of hard themes. Like, if I brought my child to see this, it would be like, how do we describe that scene? Okay, I wrote down that it was interesting that Playboys were in this movie. Smoking and Playboys, both in this movie. Something you would never see a children's movie.

Well, the smoking comes in when he's throwing the unlit sticks of dynamite. Is that what it is? Yeah. Yeah. So, but the smoking is like a hero. It's like, Rob Schneider is throwing unlit sticks of dynamite going like, I got one. And then they're like, light it. I don't have a lighter.

I don't have a lighter. Somebody goes, here. The guy with the eyepatch is like, I got one because I fucking smoke. But then he also says. You should always smoke, kids. No, he says, I know I should quit. So it was like a message to America to quit smoking or save the world, your choice.

And then Rob Schneider looks into camera and is like, I can't do anything about it. What does he say? He's like, look who I'm talking to or something like that. You should try the patch. Yes. He has an iPad. Yeah.

That's right. That must have been right when the patch came out. It also felt like, honestly, why did the director at that point, By the way, Rob, you were saying that you should be the teacher and the thing. That actually was the director. Great guy. Great guy. But why did the director go at that point?

Yeah, now we've passed the point of a turdice. It's the patch joke. Even the writer is like, we got to, this is too broad. We have to have him look at camera to cut the broadness a little bit. We're aware of it. What child is going to go, I get that joke. What about that clip of that little, like, they do a

parade, a really shitty parade. phone that fucking in. They phoned that in. They were like, look guys, we're losing the light. We got three minutes to shoot a pretty big parade scene. What does the music sound like? We don't know. We haven't bought it yet. We don't know. It's going to be library

music. We should talk about the music in this movie also. Oh my God. The opening line of this movie is turn that Van Halen down. Not Van Halen. It's not Van Halen. It's not even close to the, it's like the same It's the director's friends band.

I watch this movie with the subtitles on and the lyrics are all like, we're gonna win the baseball game tonight. I also forgot about that line that he's gonna go back to the hood and nobody's gonna want to talk to him. I was like, why? Because he's sport?

Yeah. No, I think they're not gonna talk to him. I think they're not gonna talk to him because he eats his police key and shits it out every week. That was my favorite. That was a favorite part of the movie. Yeah, that was, hands down.

I paused it and I wrote that down. I was like, I got to remember that joke. That's like a great. Every Tuesday he eats his please key and then sift through his own shit. He eats it again. And then the kid, the young kid, kind of grimaces there.

He's like, why? Like, he just came, he just like unlocked the handcuffs. He should have shit. all over his hands. All over. Doesn't make any fucking sense.

I mean, you could also just keep the key in your pocket. Yeah. Not going to eat it. In like a small, you know, the wallets of the small little pockets. Just put it in there. But also is he timing his shits?

Like. Yeah, it takes him a week. He eats his shit every Tuesday. It doesn't shit for an entire week. Then digs through it with his hands after he shits just to open the hand. Like the way that Rogue One

bridges the gap between I guess, you know, the Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars, I would like to see the bridging of the gap of tone locating on that boat sifting through his shit. He's like, ugh,

just him as a prisoner underneath the wall. And it's wild that he's more concerned about everyone in the hood knows that he surfed than he like sifts through his own shit. And by the way, sure your friends wouldn't talk to you. Who's going to tell the people

in his neighborhood that he surfed? I'm sure that the secret you could keep pretty quiet. They're like, they're like, all of his, all of his, he says my homies in the hood.

Like, all of his homies like, we don't care, man, you fucking eat your shit. That's why we don't hang out with you. We don't care because you fucking, you're a cop now.

You're above us. We hate you. Oh, the other thing, oh, and during that parade, they then cut to that girl. It looks like a clip out of a national geographic thing. Like this little girl playing with a doll in like a hut.

It's oddly like, I was like, whoa like that tonally again way off like that seemed like a real homeless girl

that felt like stock footage to me where they were like well we need some more kids I don't know Steve just fucking buy something throw it in there she looked legit homeless

like a starving like child or she's a great actress I don't know let's talk about this final fight scene and the only way I can talk about the final fight scene is to say Leslie Nielsen's dick

did you guys catch how I felt like the end of the movie was Adam making Leslie Nielsen jerk off but Leslie Nelson grabbed such a nice handful of that dick that I was like

what is going on here? The way you said that is so disrespectful to dead people, Paul. He grabbed such a nice handful of that dick. Let's see, like, here, I just want to because I... Do you see how big that dick it?

Like, it's a kids movie. He's not going to have a little dick. And it almost appears like the dick is robotic too. It's like a big, beefy Leslie Nielsen dick there. Are we sure? I thought that was, I see, watching it, I thought, I guess. Okay. Yeah, I was so big.

Watching it, I thought it was his balls. But if you can you rely... You can see the... You can see the... And you can see the balls. Look, they're almost to the left. Like, to the left. Like, our left.

Yeah. There they are. There they are. Yeah, you can, like, see his urethra. I want this to be my screensaver. Oh. That is... Wow.

I wonder if he... requested that like guys use the shot that makes my dick look huge holy shit well this was method also by the way he really jerked his cock off let's uh let's go to the audience here to see if you guys have anything that we might have missed oh we have a lot of a lot of questions so far a lot of questions so far yes uh let me go to first hand i saw all right sir yes all right what's your name and your best Kwan Tsu. I want to hear you really approach this audience and give him a nice Kwan Tzu.

My name is Val and Kwan Tzu, dudes. Excellent. Kwan Tzu. Question. Okay, towards the beginning or towards the middle, they show him sharpening what looks to be an electric knife.

Yeah. That's Leslie Nielsen, the sharpening knife to cut off a guy's dick, right? Yeah, so what is up with that? Why is he sharpening it? It's a big wedstone. He's just there sharpening. Yeah, he's sharpening an electric knife.

Good point. I just was more concerned about what he was going to do with that knife and go, this is a children's movie. That's a good point, a fair point. Let's see. Let me go back here a little bit. All right, sir, your best Kwan Su and your question. Kwan Tzu, dudes.

Kwanso. Pretty good. How long before that gets old? I was concerned with the transportation of goods in this movie. The transportation of goods. But the dynamite that they have is bone dry. Oh, yeah. And then at the end, during the credits,

when they have the band set and the electric guitars, did they bring those ahead of time in anticipation? Wait, wait. I love that. you frame this as transportation of goods. I have to get this into one big Venn diagram.

It's transportation of goods. Well, no, I agree with you. The movie is pretty solid that one point. Everything else makes sense, but the logistics of how goods get from point A to point B.

By the way, when Rob Schneider is throwing that dynamite, and they're like, you idiot, you got to light it. That's a joke, but it's a bit of a funnier joke if he hadn't just effectively thrown the dynamite, knocked somebody out, and killed a Jeep full of people. Like, he was doing just fine. Yeah, he was doing good.

And maybe without murdering them, too. Just like pushing them off the road. The explosion actually just incinerated 24 human beings. I'm looking at dueling notebooks here, and I like them both. What do you think? What do you think has the best notes? I'm going to go with you. You have a broken hand or something.

You're injured. All right. That's your question. Say Qantu, of course. Of course. It's unspoken. I'm sorry I shit on Kwanso.

Kwanso, dudes. I want to hear it. Guys, it's a big audience. We've got to sell the Kwan Su. By the way, do that anywhere else but in this room

and you're not going to get shit. I have a big issue with the geography in this movie. In the beginning of the movie, they say that. Pachusson is 13,000 miles away from L.A., but it's impossible to be 13,000 miles away from anywhere in the world.

So the... But other than that, the movie makes sense. Yeah. So the circumference of the... Wait, wait, what if you're up in space? Well, so the circumference of the Earth at the equator is 24,901 miles. So the farthest that you can be from any two points is 12,450.

Amazing. That is amazing. I love that the demographic for this podcast is like college professors. Oh, you have another point? You have another point? If it's as good as that one, I would now really think about it because you just scored so high. You're going back in. You're about to get late.

Don't fuck it up. The boat sailing from the United States to Patusan. They show it sailing from the East Coast. But we're not on the East Coast. We're in L.A. Wow. That's interesting to that. It's good. It is good. It wasn't as

good as the first one, though. Let it be a lesson. You quit while you're ahead. You, yes. Come on. All right. Let's hear your Kwan Su and then your question. Okay. Okay, okay, thank you. Juan two, dance.

Juan, two. All right, I'll hold the microphone. So, are we sure that there wasn't coming, and it was going to be like Rob Schneider's character was secretly the son of Leslie Nielsen's character? Oh. Right it? Get in and pitch this movie.

So he really is a king. In a way. Well, right, because she, Colonel, yeah, well, turn off the lights again. None of this is funny anymore. Did you, did you? Yes. I thought it was that.

Oh, to Skip and Todd who walked by, he's like, hey, Skip, hey, Todd. No, I think, I thought the joke was that his board was so covered in wax that that's all he did. Because the board was disgusting looking as if all he did is all day just waxed. it up with cum. Yes. Oh, yeah, okay. Hey.

Ponsu, dudes. Ponsu. Wait, did he say Ponsu? He did say Ponsu. Get the fuck out of here. Get out. It was Kwan Tzu. It was the best

one that we've gotten but totally wrong. Yes, sir. Kwan Tzu, dudes. Good. Quantzu. Troy kidding. I.

Wanted to go back because when they're in the restaurant, he gets a choice to choose a different animal. And he chooses the octopus. So it's like, oh, we're going to see like he's going to control an octopus. Then he has to find the octopus and then shoves it in the guy's face. Then he gets 500 points and I don't know what the points are for. He seems excited about this point. But you know what? I think the best way to kind of answer that question is talk to him.

Adam, are you here right now? The gentleman who plays out. What? Come over here. Come on over. Let's talk. I'm sorry. Welcome. Thank you for coming. Thank you for coming. Tell me your name again. I'm sorry. Nick Cowan.

Nick. Welcome, Nick. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for being a part of this. We have rare, we have, we have, all, first of all, let's hear about it. What, where were you in your career when you got this movie? Was it like, were you, like, was it the first thing for you? Let's walk through it a little bit. It's probably the first and biggest thing.

I did some commercials and some TV stuff. Will you psyched to work with Ernie Ray's Jr.? I mean? I'm asking that in an earnest way. Absolutely. He was from the Ninja Turtle. So, you know, that's like a big deal when you're like 12. Yeah, 100%. Anything now as you're an adult, you look back on it, you go, oh, that was suspect.

A lot of the stuff you brought up I didn't even think about until you started talking about. Like, Tone Loke, shitting out his key, like week after after week is pretty fucked up. Now, you have this benefit, which I think is the best part of it, is like you have been in Surf Ninjas, but if you walk into a CVS,

people aren't going to be like, Surf Ninjas, so that's a good thing. That is a good. No, they would be like Kwan Su. I know that all the time. I go into grocery stores and yell Kwansoo. When do you drop that on a friend, a new friend,

a girlfriend, When, like, wait, is it something that you lead with, or is it one that you hold back? Because I would imagine, I would hold back and then, like, watch them go like, like, you're dropping, like, a new car phone. Every time, yeah. Yeah. I used to, I used to, like, get to know people for a long time before, and if they brought it up themselves, I'd be like, oh, I was in that. Wait, did you bring it up? No, he did.

I knew him for, like, a year to half. And I, my mind just exploded. I was like, you've got to be kidding me, Kwanzu do. I will say this though, like, in my 20s, I would kind of like use it on girls. And by the way, you should, and that was smart. All right. Well, obviously, we've talked about a lot of things. What was your knowledge of, obviously, you were selling the Sega Game Gear?

Did you get a free Sega Game Gear out of it? Did, yeah. It's completely broken. Those things like, start. Guys, don't get Sega Game Gear's. Did you know that the movie was like as a kid did you know that the movie was financed by Sega? No. Okay.

But now, well, did you understand what you were doing? Because obviously that was a question about were you, like I had a question where you were you controlling Ernie Ray's Jr. Were you like, what do you know of, what did you know? And in your actor's mind at that point and we're talking about the 12 year old you, what was your assumption of, uh, I thought I was controlling him. Okay, good, yeah.

You were, and then you were almost controlling yourself when you selected octopus because then you picked up the octopus, even though you are... Yeah, that one's weird. And who is controlling this? I'm going to have to say that me. Listener, I'm pointing to Leslie Nielsen's dick, listener. Was there talk of a Surf Ninjas, too, like on set, like, was it, like, was that the plan or is it just the one?

around the time of like premiere and stuff there was kind of like talk bus I would have liked to have seen it we could have done

a double feature tonight yes what was that Leslie Nielsen like oh yeah was he in character did he think I met him once

because we don't really share any screen time so I approached him to take a photo and I think he thought I was probably just like an extra wow

but did you hear from anyone else that he was in character or is that just something that's not Never heard that. No. That was news to me if that's true. But you did not have anything to do with the death of Leslie Nielsen. No comment.

This is, well, I'm so excited that you came here. Do we have any other questions for Nick? Do anything you want to share that we haven't asked that you think could be? Yeah. Can I ask a question? Yeah. Do you surf? Do you know how to surf? Are you a ninja? No and no. No and no. It wouldn't pay for you to surf, huh? I was afraid of the ocean. Really?

Did you even paddleboard? Did you get the paddleboard? We tried to do like a scene of us coasting in. I couldn't do it. I'm like this big now and I was that big then. So the ocean is a very scary thing. By the way, you did a great job in the movie, man. Yeah, I did.

I really thought you were great. I have. I literally, I think my quick judgment of it is I have nothing to say about anyone's performance. The logic is weird. Because I buy that. You guys, you had a good relationship as brothers and stuff like that.

My question is this, though, tone loke. Tone Loak comes on set. Is he, what's any memories, any tone loke memory? It was really hot there. It was Thailand.

It was humid. It was humid. And in between texts, he started singing a song about mosquito being on his dick. It was like, there was a skier. Dick's out.

I love it. Give it up for Nick. Thank you for this movie. Thank you for coming. You're the best. Holy shit. That was amazing. So I don't think we could top Nick. I mean, none of your questions can top that. He was fucking there. He answered everything. That is awesome. Thank you so much for coming out.

Now, before we get into the end of the show here, I want to say how the movie ends, which is, I think, one of the best things, because they reprise one of the classic hit numbers from the film, and it goes something like this. So they save the day. Everything is good, and where is it?

There are a few background people here in this scene that did not know what the fuck was going on. The background people never did. Like, even after... Well, this is Thailand, so I can imagine there's some... I mean, we're still confused about the movie ourselves, and we've been talking about it for two hours. And we talk to someone who's in it.

So this is how it ends. You'd think, wow, cool, they won. They saved the day. Leslie Nielsen's dick got ripped off. It's a great kids movie, and then... As my future queen and I go off to take our SATs, remember, we're all created equal. because I was born into royalty, I'm no different from you.

Put my face on a stamp, 50 cent piece, and let's call it a day. That's, by the way, a big ass. I'm out of here. He's like, you know, look, I don't want any accolades. Just put my name on a stamp or whatever. Giving the government back to the people. It's like Baron Trump. And here we go.

So everyone's celebrating. Look at the fucking elephant. I wonder if they got a new elephant or if that's the same one that stomped on his face. Oh my gosh. Well, let's... Obviously, we had an opinion about this movie, but there are people out there that had a different opinion. It is now time for second opinions.

John LeJois with his second opinion song. A beautiful second opinion song. These are five-star reviews called from Amazon.com for the film, Surf Ninjas. This one will lead off with is from written by someone calling themselves the unknown warrior. The title of the review is awesome, and it goes like this. One of the greatest Filipino movies in the universe. The Surf Ninjas are not really ninjas, but Filipino warriors. and the fictional country of Patusan is really the Philippines.

Of course, Ernie Ray's Jr. and Robbie Schneider are Filipino. The world will never understand the true power of the Filipino warrior. We are like the air and we are like the water. We are present but unnoticeable. Five stars. My favorite part of that is just Robbie Schneider. Robbie Schneider. This is written by Paul.

Jameson and it goes like this. I guess this would be classified as a delightful fantasy full of youthful vigor. Pretty good guess. Pretty specific guess. I enjoyed it for what it was. Escapeism. The main characters are young.

Handsome. That's to you, Nick. Virile. youths who defy convention come out on top and save the world to boot all at the same time with a smile and a joke

it is of course ridiculous but who cares five stars my god it sounds like Tony Bennett wrote that review why are adults

why isn't this children like I like applesauce um Mimi J got a a little confused in her five-star review. My son, now 34, loved the three ninjas.

So think how old this mom is. She wrote this July 16th. My son, now 34, loved the three ninja movies growing up. And now his son, three years old and his daughter, 10 years old, love it too. Wait, the three-year-old has a 10-year-old daughter? Guys, you're missing the big part. She thinks it's three-ninch.

which is another movie. A movie called Three Nidges. This is called Surf Nidges. The movies are good, clean entertainment without any use of offensive language, not even any gray area, which is not found in many movies today. I highly recommend it for kids of all ages.

I'm glad she didn't see this movie with the dick grab rape scene house explosions. Throat slashing. And then finally, this is by a man calling himself Dorito. And it goes like this. Buy it. It's simple. Really, really simple.

Buy it. If you have never seen the movie, don't worry. Buy it. You'll love it. I guarantee it. Or you love it. nothing. At least go to the video store

and rent it. Then buy it. And if you're not going to buy it, send me your money and I'll buy it for you and keep it for myself. If you see or hear anyone

with a negative of this movie, it's really simple. They're Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Five stars.

All right. When was that review written? By the way, Nick, in my research here, it says Nicholas Cowan said that Leslie Nielsen was legitimately intimidating. You've been misquoted, my friend. When was that last review written? That last review was written

After Tone Loke changed his name to Dorito. It was written in 2003. We'll go down the 10 years after the movie came out. So we'll go down the line and I'll just ask. So obviously, you know, we're watching this film for this purpose. There are some movies that we watch that are very good. that are fun to watch, fun bad, and there are some that are not fun bad.

What would you say, Gil? Is this a movie you would recommend the audience listening to watch this movie? Yes. It was fun. And bad. It was fun bad.

Fun first, bad second. I agree with that. I recommend it as well. Nicole? I would recommend fast forwarding it until he takes off his shirt and watching it from there

because truly you get the whole story. You're like, all right. Surf Ninjas. They're fighting a white man. Great. Let me ask you this. You don't have to answer it. But because Ernie Reyes

is of age now. Yeah. Could you have a fantasy of Ernie Reyes? Why do I have to have a fantasy? Why can I just fuck him? I'll find him. Nick, where is he?

Nicole will be available after the show. You can tell her where he is. Rob? To be honest, Paul, I prefer the book. I obviously, I know that. And if you do prefer the book, you can definitely get the novel,

Surf Ninja's the novel. Shut. That is so fucking funny. On Amazon. Written by ALS. Do you have that in case I said that? Are you controlling me with a Sega? I have a Sega Game Gear underneath the tier.

here. It doesn't work great, but you can get it on Amazon for one cent used. And they got 21 copies still left. Can you click on the author's name? Oh, is that on the name? It's just a screen grab. Yeah. And there's one review. I'm dying to know what that review is. I will. Quiet. And by the way, just so you can see Nicole, this is Ernie Ray's now and then.

Yeah, he can still get it. He's got it. He's got it and he'll keep it. So, all right, so we all recommend it, except for Rob, who prefers the book. Let's, obviously, if you have an opinion, we'd love to hear from you. You can call us at 619 Paul, P-A-U-L, Ask, ASK, 619, Paul, Ask, and you can leave your own opinions about the movie, anything that we didn't cover. If you're Ernie Ray's Jr., if you're the director, you can call that number as well. If you're Rob Schneider, please stop calling. but let's talk about what you guys are up to.

Thank you guys for joining us in the How This Get Made All-Sars. Rob, what do you got coming up? Do you want to tell people about? We're starting a new season of Transparent pretty soon. Yep. In February.

And yeah, I'd plug that. And right now, when the audience is listening to this, DriveShare will be available on Go 90s. That's right. You and I did a TV show called DriveShare. Both of these people are in that TV show. Yes, they are. Very funny in that show.

It's all, it's just funny people in Uber's. That's how it is. Yeah, it's funny Uber rides. Yeah, it's funny Uber rides. 130 different Uber rides. Yeah, we shot it in 10 minutes. Yeah. Nicole, talk to us, what do you got?

What isn't happening? No, I'm kidding. My life's really slow right now, but you can watch loosely exactly Nicole on Hulu and MTV.com. It's a super funny show. Thank you. I think it's really funny.

Who knows if we'll get a second season? MTV's a mess. I'll say that because it's true. It's true. It started off right. Rob and I did a show there. It was a mess back then. Yeah.

We did a show paired with 3-6 Mafia. You know, they were great. A real fun, real fun sitcom-y show with 3-6 Mafia, followed by a human giant. Really, two great tastes that go great together. Gil? I just wrote for a show called Big Mouth for Netflix. That's coming out soon, so look out for that.

Who's in that? Nick Kroll. John Blaney and I don't know my Snapchat I guess I think by the way you should plug the Snapchat it's one of the funniest

It's the best things I've ever seen Yeah thank you I can follow you and what is Gil O's Erie yeah This is his name Follow him And it's legitimately The funniest thing you'll see

And ridiculous production value There's a lot of production value I don't I don't get it How you do that It's awesome Gil is my friend I felt nervous to even ask him about certain things

because I felt like I was fanning out about his Snapchat. That's how impressive the things are. I'm like, wait, how did you do that, though? How did you get to LAX? You know, because it's insane. Yeah, it's amazing. He literally put himself in a suitcase in one of them

and traveled from his house with his head out of a suitcase all the way to LAX and got super far into LAX. Yeah, didn't you get put on the conveyor? Yeah, I got put on the conveyor belt. Which is so fucking. funny.

Yeah. And everyone just acts like it's so, they're perfect. Yeah, no, it was a TSA agent who put me on there, yeah. Really? Yeah. And that's why a man checked a gun and shot people in Florida because they're doing your silly Snapchat.
