It's Watchlist Wednesday on a Monday. The return of Watchlist is brought to you by OMAX.
John, we are in the middle of a postseason run for you.
And a postseason run for me because it pertains to making the Yankees fans as miserable as possible.
So we're up late. We're watching games
all night long. We're blogging in the morning.
I haven't been to bed before 3am
since
two weeks ago. And these games aren't even extra innings.
It's just normal length
nine inning games go like five hours
now. Let's
hit that real quick.
Real quick because I forgot we're in the middle of an ad read.
That is nonsense.
Why are games starting this late?
The 839 start is brutal.
It doesn't make sense for the networks.
I read yesterday that the
game
Right, we'll talk about it.
I want to talk about the whole thing.
Watching sports, balancing it with TV,
when it takes up your whole fucking night, it's a disaster.
So we'll get into the broadcasting.
We need to run these networks, bro.
We need to run these leagues.
We need to run these networks.
As I get into, as we get bigger and we talk to more people and see what more people have to say about things,
I get so much more confidence in myself.
Oh, yeah.
We're getting smarter by the day. I'm like, oh, you're all idiots.
Yeah, you don't know what the fuck you're doing.
I can do what you do because you're faking it too.
Because I'm taking my OMAX.
OMAX is that way to get that sharper thinking, that cognitive ability up.
Four out of five people say that staying sharp is their number one priority
as they get older.
OMAX will help you do that.
You got to have that crystal clear thinking,
whether you're running a commissioner of a league,
whether you're running a network,
whether you're a blogger,
whether you're a student,
could just be a stay-at-home parent.
You need to keep that brain cooking,
and OMAX is the cognitive boost
that helps you do just that.
It's got the powerhouse ingredients,
the alpha and the omega.
If you're telling me that you don't think
the alpha and the omega are some sort of magic that's
going to make you into a super mutant,
what do you picture?
Oh, you picture something like that?
Yeah, I picture two things coming together
and it's like...
Lightning strikes and all of a sudden your brain's cooking.
Bruce Almighty. Yeah, that's fine. That works too.
I'm the alpha, baby.
That works.
I'm the omega.
Oh, yeah.
That's what you get when you go to OMAX.
OMAXboost.com slash KFC.
You get 60% off a one-month supply.
O-M-A-X-B-O-O-S-T dot com slash KFC.
I do genuinely use this stuff.
I know.
We all do.
I have it on my desk at all times.
Every morning I come in, pop them out.
I got the OMAX and the Hangover Cure sitting on my desk.
And I just grab those two things.
I got OMAX, Hangover Cure, and I have the OMAX Cognitive Boost, and I have the OMAX Fish Oils.
And a shit ton of candy.
And a lot of candy.
It is Watchlist Wednesday.
We're back.
It's Watchlist Wednesday on a Monday.
So everybody, we discussed the fate of the quickies on our episode not too long ago.
And Watchlist is also obviously in the mix.
Monday is the only day that we can air things that won't cannibalize our main podcast.
So Watchlist Wednesday is now on a Monday.
Watchlist Monday is.
We hope it won't cannibalize.
We'll see.
Yeah, we'll see.
We'll find out.
This is all just a test.
This is all just a test.
Try to get us fucking successful and rich.
Yes. Would you appeal also, like, would you do it
as many people listen to this if it was just a video?
That's curious. Yeah, let us know.
Should it be an audio? Should it be a video?
Should it be both?
Who knows? Let's break it down. We got a lot of TV
to talk about, but a lot of sports to talk about as well.
Well, let's just, well,
we were already talking about it. So, I'm a
TV junkie. It's like the only thing that I really like in my life.
But the baseball playoffs are here.
And not only was I spending the past couple weeks rooting against the Yankees, I was also
rooting for my man Christian Yelich on the NL side of things.
And between T-shirt sales and barstool banter and hate in my heart, bottom line is there
was something every game worth rooting for and watching.
So when,
when the playoffs come around and you,
especially in the earlier rounds where there's multiple teams still in it,
it's baseball all night long.
And you know,
for someone like myself,
who's my joy only comes out of television and shows that I like to watch.
Well,
it's just,
it's a tough decision, John. It is a difficult decision, isn't it? Well, for me, for me, it's not that. like to watch, well, it's a tough decision, John.
It is a difficult decision.
Well, for me, it's not that difficult.
Yeah, you have a no-brainer.
Because of the radio and my job, I know what the decision I'm going to make
every time is.
So it's not a hard decision, but I don't like it.
I don't like the fact that I'm missing my favorite shows right now.
And that's where –
And you do miss your favorite shows because it goes –
most sports you can do both.
Right.
Most sports.
You can watch a sport and then on demand it later in the night.
Or even still catch it.
You know, you like a seven o'clock start for a basketball game.
You could watch a 10 o'clock show.
That's true.
But baseball.
I mean, I could not believe the other night.
Game four.
I think it was.
It was like one third in the morning.
It was bananas.
I looked at the game.
It was the fourth inning and it was like 11.30 in the morning it was bananas 9 inning game 1.30 in the morning
9 inning game
it was the 4th inning
and it was like
11
11.30
what the fuck
is going on here
I went to
the Operation Heal Our Heroes
show
Francis did
Gaffigan stopped by
and I went to that
and it started at 7
and the game started
at 8.30
and I was like
ok this is gonna go longer
I'll probably end up missing
about the first 3-4 innings
of the game
and I got out I missed 8 this is going to go longer. I'll probably end up missing about the first three to four innings of the game.
And I got out.
I missed eight outs.
Eight outs.
I got to a TV about 9.40.
It's an hour and ten minutes after first pitch.
I missed eight outs.
And I mean, and that's the thing.
The other game I was watching the game the other day was like 1-0 for most of the time,
and it's still like a five-hour game. You know, if it's a slugfest and you're batting around three times, I get it.
But I guess, you know,
everybody just takes that much more time
in the batter's box,
that much more time thrown over to first base,
that much more time deciding.
I don't have so much a problem with the length of game.
It's the times that you choose to put it on.
Because I saw TBS,
I saw like the TV ratings for it.
TBS is in game four, right?
Game four?
Yes, game four.
Their highest ratings were at 10 to 10.15 p.m.
So it's not good for you.
It's not good for the network to have it on that late.
Right.
Because you're missing the culmination.
It's not good for the sport to have it on that late.
I mean, you always run this risk.
So what time do you want to start?
Seven?
Yeah, seven.
Yeah, I mean, I'm okay with the seven start.
Why does that have to change in the postseason? i mean i guess i guess it starts at seven all
time started at seven now trying to keep those people on the west coast happy they don't give a
fuck yeah give us a fuck about the west like i don't care that you're still in work in san diego
fuck you get out of work we have very much established you people don't really care about
sports anyway because you're living the fucking fancy life of southern california's son so let
us assholes who have nothing to live
for except baseball watch our game
and be able to get to bed or watch a TV show before
the work starts in the morning. And if you're a
sport, wouldn't you choose
that? That a baseball fan
misses maybe an inning or two because
he's still at work and then the
kids can still watch it at the end of the night? It's all about
the children. Really? You want to grow the sport, right?
Save the world. Watch's all about the children. You want to grow the sport, right? Save the world.
Heal the children.
Watch a fucking slugfest.
Hail the world! Hail the children!
So, congratulations
on your Red Sox, by the way. Thank you very much.
As we talk about this, who knows?
I woke up today and I did like a
I didn't bed this morning.
Threw the hands up in the air like, yes!
And it's more
it's very much Red Sox
Red Sox and Bruins are the teams that
I have like real emotional connections to just from
childhood and stuff like that
and the Patriots came later but the Patriots
were I wasn't a Patriots fan until Tom Brady
I knew them I followed them but
the two teams that like as a kid
I went to with my dad were
hockey and baseball
so last night was huge for that The two teams that, like, as a kid I went to with my dad were. Hockey and baseball.
Hockey and baseball.
So last night was huge for that.
But just David Price fucking finally.
And he didn't do it like. I would have taken it.
But it'd be like a five inning, four run performance.
He did the damn thing.
Where, like, the Sox had scored six to eight runs.
There was no, like, there was no room for the haters to be like, well, what about this?
Or he got bailed out.
He just stepped up and out-dueled Justin Verlander.
One of the greatest postseason pitchers in MLB history.
Right.
It was the best versus the worst.
And totally flip-flopped.
And so, listen.
We'll see what happens in the World Series.
I feel like that's probably the monkey off his back.
But it is funny that it's like, okay, now you're doing what you should do.
Now you're back to like,
back to neutral here.
I mean, you shouldn't.
No one should expect what happened last night
out of anybody.
You shouldn't expect a pitcher
to take the ball.
Yeah, no, to be that good ever.
Like, you can't expect that from someone.
When it happens, great.
There are very few pitchers ever
who deserve that.
Like, you should expect fucking, so you go seven?
I would say six.
Six with eight strikeouts, three hits, no runs.
That's fucking crazy.
The only one I really absolutely say that about is Bumgarner.
Yeah, but even him.
You can't.
I mean, I guess with him it's become an expectation.
But I expect him.
Yeah, like Kershaw's even like hit or miss.
And everybody, Verlandlander you know was
right there i i you know the more often than not the probability is bummer is gonna throw it
everybody else you're right it's like you can't it's unfair to put that burden on anybody but i'm
just saying it is funny that it's like he pitched great oh my god but that's where it got to i mean
when you're oh and ten and and you it's the monkey off the back but also he said that he said before the
game the other day um after the game after game four he said yeah you know maybe the bullpen the
night before become my full thing yeah and they asked him about it again last night and they said
so you think he found someone in that bullpen and he smirked but i did find something like i i
noticed something because i'm not gonna keep doing that but I learned something in that bullpen session
and it was like I mean his cutter
was fucking moving last night every pitch was
moving he was on point so whatever he
found he like smirked he's like it's almost
almost like like thought I was getting that
extra infinity stone he's like I found something
I also think that there had to be something
to the fact that you're up 3-1
nobody's
you're 2-1 underdog nobody's expecting you to beat Verlander you're up 3-1. You're a 2-1 underdog.
Nobody's expecting you to beat Verlander.
You're on the road.
If he threw up another clunker, it wouldn't have been the end of the world.
Yeah, but then—
So I think he was kind of playing with house money at that point.
But if you're saying you don't have pressure because people expect you to fail,
people have expected him to fail since he started 0-4.
True.
So if that's what you're saying takes the pressure away, he still had that same pressure. People have expected him to fail since he started 0-4. True. So if that's what you're saying takes the pressure away,
he still had that same pressure.
People have said, Price is going to lose tonight.
Price is going to lose tonight for six years.
And after you're 0-9, 0-10, 0-11,
it could just keep going fucking forever.
Anyway, the point here is we're still talking about baseball
on Watchlist because it eats into your TV time.
And yeah, I would love to just pop on the DVR afterwards,
but when it's fucking 1.30 in the morning,
got to be up in like 25 seconds for these goddamn kids that I have.
You can't do it.
But in the midst of playoff baseball, in the midst of the postseason,
was what I honestly think, and I've really been letting it marinate,
and I'm trying not letting it marinate and I've been trying not to you know
try not to
exaggerate here no hyper bowl
shout out to Dave
but I really think the gang solves the bathroom problem
is like my
favorite episode of Sonny ever
it's not the first one
it doesn't have the
like the
impact like even just like right have the like the uh impact like the there are there you know even
just like right off the top the gang gets racist or or you know one of those shows one of those
episodes immediately that like shaped it's always sunny it's like those were episodes that pointed
this show in the direction so there's much more important episodes but i don't think i've ever
laughed as frequently as i did start to finish in an episode than I did at the Gang Stalls the Bathroom problem.
That also – yes, I totally agree with you there.
But also they're so good at taking legitimate issues.
Yes.
And highlighting really how both sides are stupid.
Yes.
And it's so perfect, and they did it incredibly well here.
They picked the perfect topic where people really do just get wildly ignorant,
and there really is no perfect solution if you're really being honest about it.
People get completely preposterous about it.
With the perfect cast, they stayed just in Paddy's, which we've always said,
when it's just the gang, no extras, no other locations, that is always sunny.
That gang in their shitty bar is the essence of that show.
And that, the girl who wrote it, Erin Ryan, I've been stalking her ever since this episode.
I'm absolutely in love with you now, Erin.
The way she wrote that, there's an article on, it's like alwayssunny.com or whatever their main page is.
There's an article she wrote about writing that episode.
And the,
the,
the process behind it was fascinating.
She wrote it.
Then she submits it to Charlie and Rob and they gave their notes.
Then she writes it again.
She had a couple of jokes.
She had rickety cricket in there,
a couple of other scenes that she cut because she needed it to be complete.
She said she needed 22 minutes of material out of 25 pages.
No more,
no less.
She crammed it all in there.
And I, I mean, of material out of 25 pages no more no less she crammed it all in there and i i mean i just think from the jump with the jimmy buffett theme uh the choking grabbing motif throughout it frank's
performance charlie being a transgender pooper mac being i mean this is like one of the one of
the first episodes where like him being openly out gay is like a really big part of the episode
it was perfect it was perfect, John.
It was perfect. Actually, I forgot about Hate Crime.
Hate Crime is another one of my favorite recent ones.
That's another one where it's just like boom, boom, boom,
boom, boom. And again, it's just them in a room, basically.
They have the opening scene and it's them in a room. There's no other
gimmicks. There's no cheap laughs.
There's no
scenery that's like
getting a cheap laugh at all.
It is just perfect writing, perfect execution on the perfect topic with the perfect cast.
It's perfection.
And my favorite part was the end.
The end was hands down my favorite part because it highlights It's Always Sunny so perfectly
where any other show, any network TV or whatever, I always think back to something like Scrubs
where they kind of try to end on a message of hope or something like that.
I mean, Scrubs is more of a drama.
Just even having a message in general.
Like, here's our episode and we're going to end it with this commentary on this issue.
And they did that where they're doing the whole, like, look, if we're all the same in there, maybe we should all be the same out here, too.
And Dee really does say some poignant shit that is true and yeah and like look like frank thing frank still keeps it funny with
that we're all animals in a shithouse in there and then d's like you know maybe we work on out
here just treating each other all the same and when charlie does the d do you we were like talking. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up, D.
It's like.
It was.
And then Dennis goes, oh, well, he's pretentious.
Just pretentious.
I didn't even know that.
I haven't seen that.
That's funny.
That's another thing about that episode.
If you go back and you listen to some of the funnier moments, there's so many uproarious moments. And there's so many times where you're probably laughing that you don't realize it particularly when charlie and mac are fighting and and they're arguing about ghouls
whether they exist and charlie takes his snack he throws it at mac he's like you stupid twink
i'm a bear you wish you were a bear they're arguing like you don't really hear it until
you watch it for the fifth time like i did charlie's got like his mouth full you wish you
were a bear crumbs are flying out of his mouth.
They choke each other.
My favorite, I mean, I honestly, picking out a favorite part for this episode is impossible to me because I seriously think it's my favorite out of all 13 seasons.
But when, and it's a more subtle moment for me, when they're talking about how to decorate the bathroom.
And they're like, we could get some candles for the smell and maybe play something so you don't hear the sounds.
And Frank's like, yeah, screaming.
Loud screams.
And it's a funny laugh because the way Frank says it,
he's like staring at the floor.
And then Charlie and Dennis are like, well, we were talking about music.
Let's stick to music.
That was funny enough.
And then one scene later, they just cut to the bathroom
and they're waiting in line and they're just like they're doing the screams and it was just like so perfect
did not need to be addressed it was like oh yep they actually did the screaming yeah it works it
works it really does i feel like i'm in a bathroom right now yeah look at you eat a burrito to me
that was and again shout out to this girl aaron ryan because a lot of it is so much of it
is clever humor but like that to me is such a you have to know frank reynolds and the gang
inside and out to be like yeah no frank would want audio of screaming to be played and and
then they just do it and pull it off it was he's got the gun and even though he's like, he's just
calling shitting, making.
I always have my gun on when I make.
Abroad is not
a lady when she's dumping.
It was at all times.
One of the fair parts too is because it is
something that, you know,
again, both sides do kind of deal
where Frank is trying to
use the Constitution and dennis looks at me
goes i beg you stop using the constitution in the way you're using it he thinks like minorities
should get three-fifths of a bathroom
dennis also had a fantastic moment when when when Mac comes out of the bathroom after looking at the Russian porn,
which is another low-key moment.
Hey, anybody know how to fix Russian malware?
No?
All right, well, the computer's broken.
But he hangs up that picture of the roadkill and all these things.
To illustrate a vagina.
There's a lot of dicks, but there's also...
There's a moment with Dennis.
He doesn't even say a word.
Just focus on Dennis's physical reaction when Mac explains himself.
And he just does this shrug and shake.
Like, what the fuck are you talking about?
It was...
Every little bit.
If you rewatch that, if you haven't rewatched it yet, I promise you.
Go back and watch it a few more times.
Two, three, four more times.
You'll find something new every single time that makes you laugh harder than the last.
That's the only show I feel like contends
with postseason baseball
for me right now.
I'm on a couple other shows right now. I'm watching
Mayans. I'm watching
American Horror Story.
I'm back in on that.
What's the names back?
They're all back.
I always forget.
Dylan McDermott and Dermot McElwain.
I know Connie Britton's back. Yes. I always forget. I think Dylan McDermott and Dermot McElhaney. Like they all are.
I know Connie Britton's back.
Yes.
So I don't know if Dylan, he has not been back yet, but I think he's going to be back for this season.
I almost thought that maybe this was like the last season of this ever because I think they brought everybody from every season back.
But it's cool.
It's post-apocalyptic world and then they got the witches going on, all this other shit.
So I've been watching that.
I haven't gotten into Mystery in Between yet, but I plan to.
So there's a lot of things I do want to watch right now, and I can't because of baseball.
But Always Sunny is my only—I think it's my only appointment television left.
Well, not left.
Left that's on.
Thrones will be.
Thrones will be it uh
but yeah apart from that i mean fine so okay let's say thrones wasn't for me anymore i but you know
there are shows that i will like if no okay under the pretense of like postseason baseball
because my point was going to be that there are shows if it's you know wednesday 10 o'clock and
i am sitting on my couch i'll watch it so it's Wednesday at 10 o'clock and I am sitting on my couch, I'll watch it.
So it's not like I watch everything on DVR or everything on demand.
But the only thing, if there is sports to contend with, the only thing I'm thinking – you know what?
I might – if it was aired normally, I think Peaky Blinders would be that for me.
It's not because of Netflix, but I would put Peaky Blinders there.
It's close. It's close.
I don't know if anything is, but I feel really guilty about it.
You wish you were giving out the ratings?
Yeah, because I feel badly.
I do enjoy this show, but life gets in the way, and I might not be able to watch it for two days.
And even if you watch it on DVR in two days, that doesn't count for the ratings.
Well, there's that DVR plus seven or whatever.
They do have these ratings that account for the DVR that late, but they don't look at them.
Yeah, yeah.
And that ain't right.
No, it's not.
I am watching a show.
That's why for Sonny, my good friend Glenn, I want to make sure we take care of our guy Glenn,
so I make sure that my television is tuned to it.
They should send out a census and just an online survey where it's like,
do you wish you could watch this that
night?
And that's what you really want to do.
This is the hypothetical rating.
Yeah.
I do wish I could watch it that night, but there's other stuff going on right now.
But I honestly try to make Wednesday at 10 is like the only thing on my screen.
Bro.
So that's why this last Wednesday, it was one of the most frustrating nights of my entire
goddamn life, Joe. Really? Well, no. It was one of the most frustrating nights of my entire goddamn life, John.
Really?
Well, no. It's hyperbole.
It really is the last appointment I have.
And so Wednesday at 10 o'clock.
And actually, American Horror Story is on at the same exact time.
So I always have my DVRs both set for that.
And then sometimes you can't DVR two things and watch something else. So I always have to make sure
I'm on. It's a thing always at Wednesday at 10
to make sure I get all my shit done.
And game
five was on. Four was on.
And I
I was like, I gotta watch
baseball for work. I gotta do it. I gotta do it. And then 10 o'clock
crept up. And I remembered last week's
episode with the bathroom. I was like, fuck it. We're doing
Sonny. And FX has American horror story. FXX has sunny. So I put on FXX and it's
American horror story. And I was like, oh shit, I must've put on the wrong channel. I flipped to
the other one. It's American horror story. And I was like, what Kevin put on FXX, put it on. It's
American horror story. And then I was like starting to freak out. I was like, Kevin, what are you, an old man?
You can't figure out your fucking remote?
Put Always Sunny on your screen.
So I'm on the TV guide.
I'm looking at it.
I'm like, Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Click.
American Horror Story.
And I started to freak out.
Not only did I think I was old, I was like, oh my god.
I'm this person who can't work at television anymore.
Then once I realized what was going on, I was like, this is all I look forward to my god I can't I'm not this person who can't work at television anymore then once I realized what was going on
I was like this is all I look forward to
my whole fucking week
Verizon and then
once I found out it was a cable issue everyone else
was just at home watching all hunky dory
I was like fuck cause that's the worst
if everybody missed out I'd be like alright I don't know
Sonny's on tomorrow instead but everybody
tweeting me about it laughing about it
did you see what Frank just did? No, because I got American
Horror Story on two fucking channels, Verizon.
That shit should be punishable by
a punch.
Punishable by a punch.
Maybe not a punch, but at least like three
months free cable.
Yes, there should be at least some sort of
monetary compensation for the physical,
the emotional trauma I
experienced.
Wednesday, 10 o'clock.
If I can't get my Sonny. A court of law would definitely award you something like that.
Think about the depression you have
the week after a season finale.
You know, that first Sunday night
where it's like, God, there's no Thrones.
That first time there's no Sonny.
That takes its toll on you.
That was just thrust upon me out of nowhere.
Usually, at least you're preparing for it
when you know you just watched the finale.
This was the fucking fourth episode of the goddamn season.
No, it's actually way more.
Is it?
I don't know.
I think we're up to like seventh now.
No.
Yeah, I think we're almost done.
No.
I would guess there are ten, and I think that's probably seven last night.
No.
Five.
No more than five.
So you got the first one.
First one, then you got Lady Boggs.
Yep. The Megs. Yep.
The Me Too.
No.
I forget what the first one was,
but I liked it. And then you have Escape Room.
Then you have Lady Boggs. Then you have Me Too.
Then you have Bathroom.
Then Clip Show. So maybe it was six?
That's upsetting.
It was seven.
And the seventh episode is this clip show which let's call it what it is that's mail time bro it's not mail that's mail time every
show does that it's just it's just routine every show does it there no not every show sunny's been
on so long i mean i've never seen a clip show from sunny have they done it before no but everyone
does it around 100 which is where sunny isny is, which is surprising to people.
Oh, okay.
I thought you meant like each season or something.
No, no, no, no, no.
But everyone does it around 100.
By everyone I know, like Seinfeld has it.
That's all I'm thinking of.
But they've been on for 13 years, so we think it's like they must have 200 episodes.
But they usually do.
They had a few seven-episode seasons, I think.
I think season one's like six.
Yeah, so they're a little over 100.
They might be like 110 or something like that.
And this season—
I mean, that's fine.
That's fair.
I almost need to know when that's coming, though.
See, but I actually enjoy clip shows.
I don't like re-watching them now.
Now, if I put on TBS and it's the Seinfeld clip, so I'll probably watch something else.
But I like doing it once or twice because it's what this episode is.
It's remembering the old times with your friends.
Right.
So you're going to sit in the bar with the gang.
But I think of that as like when it's all said and done.
You know what that should be?
That should be an extra.
There should have been an hour of Sonny last night.
It should go from 10 to 10.30 and then 10.30 to 11 is a clip show.
Okay.
Because I'm just being a greedy asshole.
Yeah.
I love the premise though behind the reason why this happened is because they all were updating their phone and didn't have it for half an hour.
That's one of the most harrowing experiences a modern human can experience.
When you just sit there?
When you got to update your phone and it's like you just see that bar going exceedingly slow.
You're trying to do the math.
You're like, all right, that's only a quarter full and it's been like 30 minutes.
I'm going to be here for like nine hours.
That is. I guess I could go to bed. I always save it for bed i'm sorry yeah well i ever you ever you ever think it's gonna update overnight and then it doesn't
for whatever reason wasn't plugged in or you know i usually do i just don't update my phone yeah
that's true it always you know i almost every time i open my phone now it says you need an update and
i just remind i definitely don't ever back up my cloud or whatever that is we're going on like 900 days the cloud is full i'm not buying anymore i don't want the cloud i don't cloud's a
fucking life room or fuck you cloud uh so the the clip show you know that's going to be very hit or
miss i feel like much like all the other type of bottle episodes of tv shows where they are trying
to keep costs down and trying to just kind of do a filler episode. Those are always either hated or controversial.
The Breaking Bad famously had the fly.
People either call that genius or they call it what it is,
which is just Jesse and Walter in one location with some symbolism for a fly trying to keep costs down.
Lost had the worst bottle episode ever with Nikki and Paolo.
Oh, yeah.
The worst episode of TV of all time.
The Lost, where people were like foaming at the mouth for new episodes and answers and plot development.
One week, all of a sudden, just had two random ass people on the beach who nobody fucking cared about dominate an entire hour of television.
That was the maddest thing.
I was more mad at that than I was at Verizon for not airing Sonny this week.
So the clip show, you know, I'm i'm sure listen everything they do is funny there was new
elements it wasn't just all previous clips so like yes there is for sure some funny things
but it ain't you know don't tell me that it takes the place of especially coming off of
i wonder if they knew how fucking funny the bathroom episode was they're like we'll do that
now because we earned a little bit of slack.
Because my first thought was like, well, you just gave me a
classic not one week ago.
So, go ahead. Isn't you just giving me a classic
one week ago a reason
to be like, alright, you get this one off.
That's what I mean. If there was ever a time
to do it, you've earned a little bit of slack.
You just gave me a classic. No, give me more. No, the opposite.
I was like, if they didn't
air an episode at all, I'd be like, well, I'm just going to watch the bathroom episode.
Yeah.
All right.
Keeping it moving here with the rest of the TV world before we wrap up with our hypothetical from KFC Radio.
The episode last week, the question was, which TV characters, if you were in their shoes living their life in the plot of the show, would you just kill yourself?
And there's a lot of them, John. It's almost
all of them. Yeah, well, it's pretty much like
if I was anybody, I'd think about killing myself.
So, before we do that
though, we'll
whip around the league here, talk about other
shows. The
second season of Big Mouth,
I got put onto that because of
Nick Kroll. I'll be straight up.
I didn't know about it. Then I heard we got Nick. I heard he was promoting the new show.roll. I'll be straight up. I didn't know about it.
Then I heard we got Nick.
I heard he was promoting the new show.
So I started to watch it.
And thank God I did.
That's why I was like, oh, shit, promotion works.
Okay, this is why people advertise and stuff.
That show is so fucking funny.
And I never doubted it, but we have always said we're not exactly animation-type guys.
There are people who love South Park.
There are people who love Archer.
Simpsons.
Simpsons, of course, is a classic.
And I don't deny that those are classic shows or have their funny moments.
I just can never find myself committing to a cartoon.
Big Mouth's got me there, bro.
Big Mouth's got me there.
Big Mouth's got me ready to do BoJack again.
I haven't finished season two yet, but Coach Steve is just, I mean, he's as funny a character as you get.
When he calls sex, make him thick in the warm.
It's like, I've thought about that like every single day for a week straight now.
I love it.
I tweeted out a viral video.
He's a sex ed.
He never had sex.
The junior high kids are explaining sex to him.
It's fucking genius.
I tweeted out a video,
a viral video
of this like fat pig chick
like giving a lap dance
to some fat guy in the park
and someone just tweeted me
so much thick,
so much warm.
And I was like,
if we could really get
thick and warm to catch on here,
I'd be very happy with that.
That could be Big Mouth's
like lasting legacy. Making thick and the warm. Big Mouth, I'd be very happy. That would, that could be big mouth. It's like lasting legacy, making thick and the warm.
Big mouth.
I think Pete Blackburn,
it's been there a day that he was,
he was watching big mouth on a plane and it was like one of the most
irresponsible things he's ever done.
And it really is.
Cause it's just like, it's so over the top,
but it's so fucking funny.
That's the, I mean,
that's the appeal of cartoons where you don't have to live in reality.
You can go ridiculous.
I think Nick ends up swimming in a sea of boobs and he goes to Erotic Island.
I guess Erotic Island was probably the end of last season.
I forget because I kind of just binged him straight.
But when he goes to Erotic Island and like they're they're fucking warriors
just have dildo sticks and they're fucking yeah you couldn't do any of that in real life bdsm gear
rather than armor it's fucking even so even the way his father is like mature mature piss fountain
a waterfall there's a bunch of old ladies standing there pissing
that if we're being honest that was a little too much even the way his father is like such a creepy old
like jewish man like if that was him as a human as a person talking like that you'd be like this
is too much but as a cartoon character fucking hilarious so big mouth if you haven't watched it
is converting even the uh even the cartoon haters are in on that making a murderer is back came out uh over the weekend this this is this
was a bad idea doing a season two um there's not enough there's not enough of a of a development
if you told me that like there was a change in the case or new dna or he murdered someone else
or something else but it's like just rehashing this whole thing with steven avery who everybody
knows is a goddamn murderer.
Yeah, he's guilty as shit.
And the thing with this, too, is with true crime stories, you can't really do a second season of the documentary because it stops being interesting.
Because even when I was watching the first season, I'd never heard of this case.
I could have gone ahead and Googled, is he still in jail?
Yeah.
But it was unknown to me. I didn't know what was coming now you kind of know once you have a hit show it
becomes a national phenomenon every appeal becomes national news so like i know both these
motherfuckers are still in jail so every time like in the trailer they have the new the new
lawyer says like something where she's like this could flip the whole case it didn't no it didn't
yeah we would have known i I know. It is tough.
And it's like, you know, also an element of it is like,
every Brendan Dassey WrestleMania joke has been made.
You know what I mean?
Like, all of those things that came out in season one
were really either funny or entertaining or enjoyable
at the expense of this, like, poor retarded kid
who was thrown in jail.
But now it's like, that is all.
We've made all the jokes. We've made all the jokes.
We've made all the comments.
And there's just not enough anything new for Making a Murderer Season 2.
I might get around to watching it at some point.
But it's.
Listen, bro.
Especially right now with playoff baseball.
You are like 10th on the priority list.
Also, some TV news.
Peaky Blinders is officially going seven seasons.
So.
What are we on now?
Five?
Five is coming out in 2019.
Probably summer 2019.
They're going to do six and seven seven and then they're calling it they added four new uh irish dudes to the show so
i'm imagining where you get some irish mob up in this bitch and uh that's that's a show that
i feel like there's like two episodes a season and it takes like four years i love that about
the bbc i know i mean bbc like i
use a little bit more i could use a little bit more well they do like six luther literally has
a two episode season yeah it's crazy luther season four is literally luther sherlock's always three
right it's like hour and a half episodes and it's like three episodes i've only seen the first
season of sherlock i didn't love it's three episodes yeah but they're like they're like
an hour and a half two hours like they're like feature-length movies and like sometimes they're
not connected to each other,
so it's like...
Stand-alone.
Literally, it's almost like a movie.
Yeah, and that's cool,
but Peaky is still a regular TV show
telling a regular story.
And it just feels this way.
I'm sure if you look it up,
there's probably like six or seven episodes,
and it's fine.
And I'm sure there's like 18 months in between
like other shows.
But it just feels like...
Maybe it's because I binge it right away every time,
and then I look it up, and they're like, it's coming back in 2024 like fuck you peaky blinders uh so be on the lookout for that in silly murphy's such a
fucking everyone's a monster in that show uh you have everybody's so cool i want to tom hardy like
how can we like become like the peaky blinders like the kfc radio gang she's like galley caps
shout out to my guys scallyw. They just sent me another cap.
If you want a Scally Cap, go to Scallywags.
They have the best quality Scally Caps out there.
We should all start wearing Scally Caps with the razor blades.
We should fucking slice people and be like,
By order of KFC fucking radio.
That'd be cool.
People would hate us.
All right.
We'll wrap up today with our hypothetical talk that came courtesy of KFC Radio last week.
Go download that, rate, subscribe, yada, yada, yada.
If you were – exactly how do you frame this question?
I guess which TV characters, if you were them, if you were putting their shoes, you were living their life inside the show, would you kill yourself?
The caller's example was Ozark, which I think is a little premature, to be honest.
If I was Marty, I would do what Marty's doing.
He's trying to survive.
I think it's actually a little ridiculous, by the way, how much he has survived in Ozarks.
That's the point.
The stress. That's the point. Like he's he's out out maneuvering like the government, the police, the cartel, the hillbilly heroin drug dealers, his wife, everybody. He is just like, oh, I'm always one step ahead.
Eventually, some shit's got to catch up with him.
I don't think I would kill myself just yet.
I probably would.
Marty, Marty.
What's the last name?
Marty what?
Whatever.
Bird.
Marty Bird.
Walter White. those guys.
I got enough stress in my normal ass life as it is, like wife, kids, divorce shit, work shit, life shit.
I'm like, I'm going to kill myself.
If I threw in cartels and meth and heroin and all that shit, I would be out with a quickness.
So I agree with the caller, but there's a lot when you really start thinking about it.
It's kind of like we said on KFC radio where it is
it's all of them
it's all of the high stress shows
well you know what you want to know
the truth here
probably none of them
I would hope to get murdered I don't have the stones to count myself
you are a big fat pussy
but the
again because I'm too
narcissistic which again doesn't make sense.
But the – there would be so many of them.
I'm like, just catch me.
And I think that's a very common thing with criminals is like I'm so tired of doing this.
Just catch me.
Put me in jail so I can just sleep all day every day, occasionally get raped maybe.
But like really the sleep is really the selling point.
Hey, speaking of, that's a good one.
Like, Oz or any of the shows where people are in jail?
Prison Break?
Well, Prison Break.
Prison Break season one.
You watch Prison Break?
I did so long ago, though.
I don't really remember it.
You should probably go back and watch season one
because it really is that good.
I knew it.
I loved it.
If I thought, if I was like Michael Schofield
and I had, like, the tattoos and I thought I could get out, I wouldn't kill myself just yet.
Season two when I was on the run, like bleeding, running through the woods, I'd probably kill myself then.
But any sort of prison.
For sure when they go down to that other prison.
Oh, no.
Out.
Out of Mexico.
I still use that fighting tactic.
Right for the knee.
I learned that in prison break.
Right for the knee.
Well, it's got to be true then.
Speaking of prison. they tell ladies to go for the knees in self-defense classes knees and eyes what about the nuts these eyes and nuts yeah the uh the prison makes me
also think of walking dead that whole that one season where they just found the prison and they
like holed up in there and thought they were going to live walking dead if you if you're if there's ever a post-apocalyptic zombie situation i'm killing myself immediately and i will have
the stones to do that like that's the one time i think i would kill myself i don't think rather
than i think i'd run into the zombies see that scares me though because what if like you have
some sort of what's what's what if some sort of consciousness remains? What if you're like fuck I'm a zombie.
You know?
I'm Zeke.
Yeah.
So they call him
World War Z.
Which I watch on FX
every time it's on FX.
Any of that stuff.
World War Z
28 days later
Walking Dead.
The fact that they're like
or even in a quiet place
like when they're having
a baby in that world.
Yeah, yeah.
Come on.
The baby is
Come on. That baby is baby is. Come on.
That baby is crazy.
Like, you should not be bringing life in.
You should be taking life out.
I'd kill the shit out of myself if I was in Walking Dead.
Handmaid's Tale is one.
If I was a girl in Handmaid's Tale, I would kill myself immediately.
Also, if I was a guy, though.
Just having, like, that lame-ass missionary sex where your wife is staring at you
and you basically are being forced to sexually assault a girl. That ain't too enjoyable
for the guy either. Way worse for the girl.
But it ain't too enjoyable for the guy either. You're getting sexually assaulted
to sexually assault someone?
Like that one scene where they have
the sheet that goes over
and it's just like a little tiny hole that they're
letting. It's like, nope. No one's trying to
do that, man.
Let me hit it from the back, girl. Otherwise, I'm gonna kill
myself. So I'm out on Handmaid's
Tale. Another post-apocalyptic thing is what I
mentioned earlier, American Horror Story.
So that is the opening scene of American Horror
Story this season is awesome.
It's like nuclear holocaust.
You don't really know why. I thought it was Demon Babies. Was that
last season?
Yeah, no. There's no Demon Babies yet in
this one. But sometimes they mix all sorts of things
up. The first one, first episode is like somebody launches a nuke.
We launch back.
They're all launching.
And like the news broadcast is like the missiles are coming.
Like the anchor is like, by God, we've really done it.
Like we really ruined the world.
And there's a couple people who scramble like with the government.
They live like in an underground bunker.
The world is too much radiation and they just live in this underground bunker where they eat like i don't know like fucking
cockroaches every day and they just live by candlelight like hoping to survive they're not
allowed to fuck there's all these crazy rules yeah i don't know i don't know what that makes
it hotter yeah i guess so it just stinks up in there so I would kill myself for sure any sort of post-apocalyptic
I'm out
would you kill yourself
in Thrones?
I thought of Thrones
depends on what character
depends on who you are
would you kill yourself
if you were Cersei?
no
fuck no
I'm just thinking
like your kids are dead
and you're feuding
with your family
you got a bullseye
on your back
I love Cersei
I hope Cersei wins
so do I
I openly am rooting for Cersei.
Like, everybody else is such a little bitch.
Yeah, she owns it.
She's like, yeah, I'm evil as fuck.
Cersei is the baddest bitch.
The evil fucking people usually win.
Yeah, especially in Thrones.
People who think you're going to get a happy ending from Thrones,
fuck out of here.
You think you got it.
Jon Snow and his cousin fucking bitch are going to rule the world?
I don't think so.
I think Cersei's taken over, bro.
So what if you were Jon Snow?
Did you kill yourself?
No.
I'm Jon Snow.
I know it won't work.
True. I would kill myself because I'm coming right back.
I know those motherfuckers that could get Lady Malisandra back in this bitch.
What's the point?
You know what really popped into my head?
And I think about zombies and apocalypse and prison
and all these horrible fates.
You know what really popped into my head?
The Brady Bunch.
The Brady Bunch?
The Brady Bunch.
If I had three fucking kids, three puberty-aged boys,
and I end up shacking up with some broad who has three of her own,
now all of a sudden I got six fucking kids, breaking your nose with a football.
This one's going through puberty.
This one's got drama at home.
You got that old maid running around.
You're stuck in that old shitty ranch-style house.
That sounds so much worse to me than the fucking zombies, John.
You having a fit?
You having an episode?
You're getting old, John. You having a fit? You having an episode? I have heartburn.
It's heartburn.
You're getting old, man.
I know.
I'll take, you know, like any.
I mean, that sounds horrible.
It gave me heartburn.
Those things, like friends sitting around with those people squawking at you at the coffeehouse.
I would kill myself.
No way. If I had to listen to Phoebe, Monica, and Rachel, and Ross.
If I had to be friends with Ross Geller, I'd kill myself.
Just get new friends. Well, that's the friends with Ross Geller, I'd kill myself.
Just get new friends.
Well, that's the whole point,
is that you can't, you know?
You can't do that.
You can get new friends.
No, you can't.
Like, in a post-op book of the world,
you can't start.
John, seriously, you can't get new friends.
Yeah, you can.
Right now, if you decided, like,
I don't like this, I need a new me,
new chapter,
and you just wanted to have new friends,
you could not get them.
No, no, I'd have to.
But, like, you can... I hope Dave's to hire somebody interesting.
I can't do it.
I would have said no before I met you.
Right.
Okay, fine.
Like, yes, if they just, like, fall from the clouds
and someone gets hired at work.
But, like, you cannot go out and proactively find new friends.
No, no.
And I'm not just saying you.
I'm saying, like, everybody.
Yeah.
Like, it's impossible to have a true friend after your college years, I think.
After those early years.
Maybe you can meet some people post-college.
I'm going to meet people now.
My kids, friends, parents, I'm going to meet them and we'll be friendly.
There's going to be some people I like.
You're not going to have any new friends.
No new friends.
No new friends.
No new friends. No new friends. No new friends. So let
us know anybody
who you would kill yourself if you were them
in a TV show. Any plot, any
characters, if you couldn't take it
and you were just off yourself, get at us
on Twitter, at KFC Radio.
Follow us on Instagram. We're putting up TV content
and all sorts of other stuff on the IG.
That's also KFC Radio.
Let us know what's on your list, what's off your list.
We'll talk some TV next week.
Watch this Wednesday on a Monday.
All right, let's get into it.
It's KFC Radio with a very special guest.
Breckin Meyer joins us.
What's up, man?
You're looking around the room.
You look concerned.
I'm taking it all in.
I'm taking it all in.
I see Lenny Dykstra over there.
There's a clamp here.
That's very exciting.
Most people look around and they're like, this could be better.
It's not exactly the most...
You know what? It's charming is the word we try to
spin it with. I think that's a great
word. It's about the only
good positive word you could use.
It's like a scream room in a frat basement.
It's not a good spot. It's not a good look.
It's got a seven vibe.
It's got a you might not make it out of here vibe.
This is like our new bit.
Every time we have a guest, we roast our fucking shitty office.
Yeah, there's a dead guy in the corner.
He's actually the bad guy all along.
It's a Saw type of thing.
I get it.
So I got to tell you, man.
I'm interrupting you.
When's Franklin and Bash coming back?
Yeah, Franklin and Bash.
We're actually talking about Mark Paul and I and the creators are talking about doing a two-hour movie.
Like a movie of the week.
I love that show so much.
Yeah, we did too.
We had an absolute blast.
That's a huge announcement for John.
Yeah, we loved that.
Mark Paul and I had the best time.
That is a 90s dynamic duo right there.
Yeah, we had a good time.
That's the heavy hitter.
I was going to say, I think you, suffer is not the right word.
You benefit from Paul Rudd syndrome where you just look the same forever.
Oh, I'll take that.
I feel like you, I don't know if that means you looked older when you were doing Clueless
or if you looked younger when you're doing this now, but you look exactly the same all the time.
I have progeria.
I looked like an old man when I was a baby.
It's a great – I would sign up for that right now, man.
If I know I could just – I'm just plummeting these days.
It's just getting worse and worse for me on a daily basis.
Kevin, we take pictures with the guests, obviously.
We'd love to have one with you.
Sure.
Kevin, we've not been allowed to put out pictures recently.
Recently.
It's been like within the past couple months.
I'm just like, can we just maybe not post that one?
Do some filters.
We've just been wearing all black every time we know that's going.
I'm about to actually just excuse myself.
Like, listen, I love, I'm so thrilled that Brecken's here.
I love that the guests come through.
You guys just take a picture.
I've really, what I've learned is I need a, uh, you know, you have all these filters for your pictures. I need a filter for life. I need to go tanning. I need to take a picture. What I've learned is I need a, you know, you have all these filters for your pictures.
I need a filter for life.
I need to go tanning and have a filter on my skin
so I look better.
So you are in the new show you're promoting here
is Superman.
Superman.
Which is you're getting in on that voiceover money,
that cartoon money.
You've been hitting that for a little bit, right?
Yeah, no, this is actually our third season of it.
It's just coming out.
It's by the guys that we do Robot Chicken, me and Seth and Matt Senreich and all that.
So it's produced by the Robot Chicken guys.
But it's also produced by Brian Cranston, who is the lead guy on the show.
Heard of him.
Heard of him.
He's done a couple of gigs.
He was on Malcolm in the Middle.
But Brian, Keegan-Michael Key.
He was Tim Watley on Seinfeld.
Keegan-Michael Key from Key & Peele.
Chris Pine, Minnie Driver.
There's a ton of people on the show.
That's a star study cast.
It's a badass cast.
And again, it's thanks to our robot chicken kind of pedigree.
Now we're in our 10th season of Robot.
We're lucky enough to recall people.
Yeah, they got
three Emmys now
the show has
for something.
I feel like they're
some shit.
I feel like they're
the gold standard
for that type of
that realm of entertainment
that cartoon animated
type of thing.
Yeah, we do.
We kind of cornered
the market on these
stop motion mainly
because no one else
does it because
it takes forever.
I've always thought that.
It's like,
who would sign up for that?
It's like when you sign up to be a catcher in Little League or one of the shitty positions in sports.
It's like, why did you do that?
But I mean, I guess you win Emmys and make a boatload of money, but God, that seems painstaking.
It takes a long time.
That's why I stick to writing and doing the voices.
I don't do the animation where you click.
It takes a year.
Yeah, I do not have the patience for that, man.
That's in Parks and Rec.
Adam Scott's character
is working on it for months.
And it was just the one walk.
It gets out of bed in a day.
Been working on this for two months.
Are you a Parks guy? I'm a big Parks guy.
What's your TV
rotation?
Parks, even though it's off the air, I continually
watch Park.
Parks and Rec is one of my favorites of all time. Nick Offerman.
Ben Schwartz is a good buddy of mine.
Not because of the show, but I also marvel
at him as John Ralphio.
We gotta get him in here.
You could put in a good word for us.
March Madness, we do
best character. We always
do some kind of best TV themed thing.
This year was best secondary characters.
Yeah.
And I think we put John Ralphie as a one.
Yeah, he was way up there.
He was a one seed.
And he made a run.
He's great.
He's real.
That whole show.
I mean, that whole show, Offerman is stellar as Ron Swanson.
But I would say...
Do you keep up with new stuff, or are you more of a...
I keep up with new stuff.
Not, I mean...
I think I like everything everyone else does.
I'm waiting for Game of Thrones to, I think I like everything everyone else does.
I'm waiting for Game of Thrones to come back.
I like Walking Dead.
My girlfriend got me into American Dad recently,
which for some reason I missed the boat on originally.
And so now I'm like binging American Dads like crazy.
I love Family Guy.
Obviously you're a cartoon guy.
You work in cartoons.
Do you like cartoons? I don't watch a ton of animation.
See, me neither.
We just had, we interviewed Nick Kroll yesterday, and he's out promoting Big Mouth and whatnot.
Big Mouth is really funny.
Big Mouth is funny.
I had never watched it because I'm not much of an animation guy, but I watched it in preparation
for that.
I watched a couple episodes.
I thought it was hysterical.
Yeah.
And we were talking about how I typically like more reality-based comedy and stuff like
that.
We're just like, it's real.
Yeah.
But then again, like a pregnant,
a pillow getting pregnant with a 13 year old.
Yeah.
Every,
every now and then.
I mean like when I first watched big mouth,
I was like,
okay,
again,
I'm not a huge animation fan and obviously Simpsons and family guys,
a different world.
But,
uh,
when I saw big mouth,
I was like,
ah,
give it a try.
And I blew through it.
And I mean,
it's the only show I know when it's coming back.
I think it was October 4th.
I think it just came back.
So excited.
Nobody's funnier than Kroll, especially as his Will Arnett hormone monster,
which I know he says is not Will Arnett.
It's fucking Will Arnett.
Sorry.
It's just so Will Arnett.
That's funny.
I mean, the hormone monster we were talking about, we always have this idea that every adult male is suppressing a hormone monster of sorts.
Or we always call it like a five-year-old or a fifth grader.
One of those levels where it's like you always want to unleash it and let it out, and your job as an adult is to kind of keep it at bay.
And I feel like for me, for us, when we were, it was the 90s was when we were really keeping
our hormone monster at bay.
Right.
And I feel like you, you know, with Clueless and where you kind of like started to, and
even Road Trip was, you know, I think it was like 2000, 2001.
But you really crushed that 90s, man.
You crushed that decade.
It was an-
Yeah, there was a series of, I was talking about this today.
There's like every five, it makes me sound ancient, but every, cause I
started when I was a kid, every like five or 10 years, I did a movie that resonated
with a certain group. And it was like, started with Clueless. And then it was oddly like
The Craft and Can't Hardly Wait. And then Road Trip and then Rat Race and then Garfield.
You know what I mean? Like Then I did a kid's movie.
So it's so interesting to see people when they come up and they want to talk about it. Usually they're like, what movie do I know you from?
And I'm like, I'm going to gauge by you.
Depends on how old you are.
Right.
I look at them and I kind of go, you seem like a road tripper.
You know what I mean?
And the worst when they're like, that's not it.
And I'm like, well, then I don't know.
I don't know what to tell you then, man.
You look a little older than you are, but I don't know what to tell you exactly.
But yeah, so there have been certain movies.
You've done a lot, obviously.
We had Ken Jeong in here, and we were busting his balls about Vampire Suck
because it doesn't have a very good rating.
And he hit us with the best Vampire Suck.
It was like his movie.
Exactly.
A movie he did that got like 0% on tomatoes.
Was it like a parody movie?
Yes, it was, and it was just very bad, and he was very candid about it.
Sure.
And when we asked him about it, the response he gave for why he did a movie like that was just so awesome, so cocky.
He said, it was my yacht movie.
I wanted the yacht, so I did that movie for the yacht.
Does Ken Jeong have a yacht?
I can't.
Apparently.
He's got yacht money.
That's the headline, by the way.
Yeah, he is a straight-up doctor. Yeah, he's a a doctor but he had a yacht before he even got into acting so what's your yacht he's got
yacht money yeah you got a yacht movie or like i don't know like a jet ski well i can tell you this
i have a yacht i swear i have this is so sad i have a hoodie movie there you go i'm always very
reward based and i was telling my buddy,
I was like, there's this hoodie I really want to get.
And he's like, how much is it? And I'm like, it's like $80.
And he was like, I'll give you $80 to shut the fuck up about it right now.
Sorry, I don't know if I can curse on this.
Oh, you sure can.
You sure can.
I literally, one of the movies I did that was like a nice payday or whatever,
my reward to myself was a hoodie.
That fucking sweatshirt.
I bought a hoodie.
That was it. I bought a hoodie. That was it.
I bought a hoodie and lost it.
I lost the hoodie at a movie premiere, which teaches me I shouldn't wear a hoodie to a
movie premiere because I'm a grown up.
But I don't, yeah, I never, what was I trying to think?
I really, it sounds so, it sounds so holier than thou in that way.
But like I always said when I was growing up
I never wanted to do a gig for money
and I just never wanted that to be
why I did a movie
that being said I saw that sweatshirt
that sweet bedazzled sweatshirt
that Ed Hardy wasn't buying itself
but uh
you've always kind of stuck your guns on that
but then there are movies where I guarantee if you look at my resume
you're like no you didn't
like I did this magic car movie with I was kind of struck by that. But then there are movies where I guarantee if you look at my resume, you're like, no, you didn't.
I did this magic car movie with the Meryl Streep of our generation, Lindsay Lohan.
And the reason I did it, well, first of all, it was a kid's movie.
I have kids.
I have no problem doing a kid's movie.
Some of them are my favorites.
But Michael Keaton was going to play my dad.
And this was before Birdman.
It was when Michael was not doing a lot of stuff intentionally.
He was kind of just semi-retired,
waiting for something good to come along.
And then Herbie did.
But they literally said, Michael Keaton will play your dad.
I'm a giant Michael Keaton fan.
I grew up with that guy. My oldest daughter's name is Keaton.
Wow.
So I was like, well, it's not yacht money,
but there's no way I'm not doing this movie.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then he started doing Birdman and really great stuff again. I was like, could, it's not yacht money, but there's no way I'm not doing this movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because who knows? And then he started doing Birdman and really great stuff again.
I was like, could have waited for that.
But so I did a magic car movie to work with Michael.
That's some bucket list shit, though.
Yeah, that's a very solid reason.
How was Lindsay?
She tried to kidnap any-
She was fantastic.
Holy shit, that video the other day, man.
You still in contact with her?
Some wacky stuff.
No, we do.
It's funny.
When I did Herbie, when we finished, I came back with a bunch of stories because she's an interesting character.
And we wrote them all into Robot Chicken.
And so I started voicing Lindsay on Robot.
But the best part was because, you know, she can be cantankerous, as you've seen with people and their babies on the streets.
And it was credited on IMDb to Michelle Trachtenberg.
So I was like, at some point we're going to hear Michelle Trachtenberg get her ass kicked.
And it should have been me.
Lindsay's, you know, Keaton's a bucket list, but Lindsay's in her own right another version of a bucket list.
It's a different bucket list altogether, but there's a bucket list.
It's a bucket of booze, a bucket of fun.
I got to cross that off.
I got to cross both of those off my bucket list.
Michael.
You know what?
Another one.
I feel like McConaughey was probably a nice bucket list.
McConaughey was really cool.
That's more like a life bucket list.
We're often doing hypotheticals like, if you ever want to go get a beer with a guy or play
around and golf with a guy, and McConaugonaughey's always on the list of all those.
Yeah.
And he golfs now, I think, actually.
Oh, there we go.
We'll do both.
I think Matthew golfs.
Does he live up to the expectation and the hype?
Yeah.
He does the best Matthew McConaughey impression of all time.
It is.
He's just great.
And it's funny because you meet him.
And I grew up in Texas when I was a kid.
My dad worked for Exxon, so I was in Texas for a little bit.
And I'm not a Texas person. I didn't fit in very well and it was first place I was called nothing but my last name I
was just my what you doing so when I met Matthew you know if you're from Texas
you know you bond about Texas and so Matthew was from we met and he's like
man has that where you from and I was like I but we met, and he's like, hey, man, where are you from?
And I was like, well, I'm from Houston.
And he goes, all right, I like Houston.
I like Houston a lot.
And I was like, he's going to think I'm doing his voice, because you know the thing is like,
I don't know where you're from, but you slip into the accent of your home.
And so he's like, so we're going to have a good time.
We're going to Boston to this movie.
And I'm like, yeah, it's going to be good. And I was like, oh, he's going to think I'm mocking him.
And I'm not, but I it's going to be good. And I was like, oh, he's going to think I'm mocking him. And I'm not.
But I am.
But I'm not.
And it was so hard every day to not do him to him.
To him, yeah.
Because you can't help it.
You guys did that in Ghost of Girlfriend's Past.
Ghost of Girlfriend's Past.
All time rom-com.
Classic.
That was in Boston?
Wasn't someone in Newport?
No.
That was all in Boston?
All my stuff was in Boston.
I thought there was a little bit in Newport.
But it was Michael Douglas as well, who's literally a living legend.
Michael Douglas has Oscars and is the man.
We are big rom-com guys.
Oh, wait, wait.
Isn't it set in Newport?
There's something about Newport in that movie.
I have no idea.
I forget what it is.
Anyway.
I know it was shot in Boston, but I don't know.
Michael Douglas is a legend for a couple of reasons.
A whole bunch of stuff.
One of them is getting cancer from going down on
Captain T. Jones. That is what he said.
That was what I heard. But also for the Oscars
and producing a professional film.
That's a great secondary, don't get me wrong.
He produced
Cuckoo's Nest.
He's been in the game for a long time
and producing stuff. He wasn't in Cuckoo's Nest.
He just produced it.
I think the game is one of the most underrated movies of all time.
I love that movie.
Dude was romancing the stone from back in the day.
And there's Gordon Gekko.
He's the man.
He's got it, man.
Now he's doing the Ant-Man.
He's checking that comic book movie list.
He's a straight up living legend in that way.
One thing I got to, we'll wrap it up up here but i was doing a quick little bit of
research on you sir and i'm sure you've been asked this before because it's on your wikipedia page
you used to sleep in a goddamn coffin what the fuck does that mean it was just like early life
and it was like breckin was born in texas and the last sentence was he also used to sleep in a
closed coffin like a little ad in there, every night. What?
End of paragraph.
Now on to early career.
What the hell does that mean?
From 14 to 18.
Why?
Just went through a vampire phase?
Yeah.
I wasn't a goth kid.
I wasn't like an emo kid.
I didn't do the raccoon eyes.
Nothing like that.
I just, honestly, I loved the Lost Boys.
I loved Once Bitten with Jim Carrey.
And I liked being nestled.
And I'm a kid who literally will burrito in a comforter.
Honestly, I can say, I'll get you a sleeping bag.
I'll fucking wrap you up and I'll swaddle you.
I did you one better.
I went coffin, lid closed.
I feel like your mom had to wake you up in the morning, right?
Like, hey, Brecken, wake up.
That's exactly right.
No way.
And I've always had the, I'm in the top three of weirdest place you've had sex competitions
because I have the coffin, so I win.
Yeah, you do.
What do you mean?
I'm in the top three.
Who's coming close?
Every now and then someone pulls out something really weird where you're like, really?
In space?
So you're like
You're like 15, 16, 17, 18 years old
You're like
Come on back to my place
When my parents are asleep
You like slink up to your bedroom
And you're like
Open up the coffin
I'm like hey
You want to go back to my place?
I should preface this
With something
I was going to say
Do they know ahead of time?
No you got to let them know
Well let me tell you something
Because that's a serial killer reveal
Oh yeah
Don't do that
That's Dexter And I'll tell you something. Because that's a serial killer reveal. Oh, yeah. Don't do that. That's Dexter.
And I'll tell you what.
When you find the girl and you say, hey, you ready?
We're clicking.
We're vibing.
You want to go home.
But we're in a fucking coffin.
And she still comes home with you?
She's a keeper.
She's a keeper.
I was scared you were going to say keeper.
You went the wrong way.
You went the wrong way.
I said keeper.
I said keeper.
Let me introduce you to some gravity blankets.
If you want to be swaddled.
I've heard about this.
I sleep under 40 pounds of blanket every night.
You got a 25-pounder?
It wasn't enough.
Got a 15-pounder.
Just get like an eight-year-old.
I had a 15-pounder and then like heroin, you know.
You get used to it.
You got to up the dosage.
Got a 25-pounder.
Don't have to tell me.
Lay that over me.
I one-upped myself again the other day.
I got a weighted mask now, too.
So I got five pounds on my face, 40 pounds on my face.
You can hire people to literally just lie on, like, just dog pile on top of you.
I think it's a fetish.
I think Squishy's a fetish.
Wait, a weighted face mask?
Yeah, oh, yeah.
That's just like someone pushing on your eyes, isn't it?
Exactly.
Sometimes the beads will roll and they'll kind of puddle right in my eyes.
Awesome.
Wait, what's the blanket do?
The weighted blanket.
My mom got the first one for me.
It's for kids with autism.
I was about to say, are you on the spectrum?
She's been trying to convince me I have autism since I was four.
I refuse it.
She's like, so how does this make you feel?
I'm like, pretty fucking good.
I know,
you're autistic.
Really?
You two are fucking weird.
I'm going to check out.
You guys can just have
your own coffin
and autism blankets.
I have to ask,
are you a big
Charlie Murphy fan?
Or what is it?
Who is CRM?
I have to know.
It's the friend
who passed away.
Okay,
I have to know.
Charlie Murphy's great too.
You know what,
let's go with that.
Let's go with that.
It's a better story.
I'm a big Cameron Manheim fan.
I always liked that.
I like Boston Legal.
All right, man.
Well, we appreciate it.
Super Mansion is the movie, the show.
It's on Sony Crackle.
You can catch it with Cranston and the other rest of the guys, along with Breckin.
It's awesome stuff.
So we appreciate you coming through.
No worries, man.
Thanks for having me.
Thank you.
