It's another edition of Watch List. We're back in action. My man Feidelberg's sitting next to me. I'll be honest, he's tired. He's run down. I'm extraordinarily run down. Extraordinarily. And I don't even like to admit that a lot because now this will all be under the black cloud of like, John was tired for it. I sometimes still get tired, Kevin.
Starting point is 00:00:29 Yeah, it happens. I am currently tired. It happens. So, listen, it happens to all of us because John went out last night, but I got kids. People are working hard. People are studying hard. People are drinking hard. And your brain goes to mush.
Starting point is 00:00:41 To quote a guy in our office, you become a noodle. The only way, one of the best ways to stop your brain from becoming a noodle is to get on that OMAX train.

I feel like it's like Ultra Boost, Omax Boost. It's like Mario's Magic Mushroom. Like I feel better. Right. We're here. We're out here now. Let's do it. Let's go. We got a lot to. Let's do it. Let's go. We got a lot to talk about. So it's been a little bit since we did a watch list, so we let our TV viewing kind of build up, and we're here to run through all of it from the past, I don't know, at this point, maybe almost a month or so.
Starting point is 00:01:56 We begin with dating back to the Halloween season. Also, by the way, before we get into anything, quick shout out to us. Yes, definitely. Because we are. I don't know where we're going, but definitely. We are working really hard. So hard. At watching television.
Starting point is 00:02:11 I mean, it is a bear. It's a bear. It's a lot of, we watch a lot of it. People say to me, KSE, are you watching XYZ? I say, yes. You know why? Because we're watching fucking everything, man. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:02:21 K Marco was like, he asked me probably last week. He's like, how do you watch all of these shows? Man, I stay up late at night and watch TV. Committed to the game. It's harder than people think. I'm so back in action too
Starting point is 00:02:33 with my whole life being in shambles. Like the one thing is I got TV back. Because it's like when you're in a relationship and you're trying to match the TV schedules
Starting point is 00:02:40 and the TV preferences, it doesn't work. Now, I'm back watching my TV and I i mean we got to bang all these shows out not for us john for them that's right for the people for you at home listening right now so we'll go back to the halloween season the haunting of house hill haunted hill house hill house which i refuse to because it's called the house on haunted hill
Starting point is 00:03:02 that's what the fucking movie was called a thousand times in a row. I don't care what the book was called. I don't care what this is. The Haunting of Hell House sounds stupid and is annoying and it's a mouthful. And it makes me feel like I'm dyslexic. So it's The House on Haunted Hill. Fuck you. It's fair.
Starting point is 00:03:18 I've said it. I think I said this with something else recently too. But it's one of those things where it's like gnocchi. I say it differently every single time, and one time I'm going to get it right, and the next time I'll get it wrong. Sometimes I say root. Maybe sometimes I say route. I definitely do radiator, radiator, which makes no sense. That one's crazy.
Starting point is 00:03:38 But, hey, listen, I don't give a fuck, man. I make up my own rules and my own names. So this is called the House on Haunted Hill. That's what it's called. It is a terrible name, and that's about the only bad thing about it. Otherwise, I found this to be an exceptionally delightful binge. It's very, very good. I really enjoyed it.
Starting point is 00:03:57 And I don't even typically like scary things. Because you're a pussy? This is one where I wouldn't have watched it, probably, if it wasn't for Watchlist and you. So, again, really out here grinding. I hit John with a pitch me, and he was in. It's tough. Scary stuff is tough because it's very hit or miss. You go too much down the horror movie angle,
Starting point is 00:04:27 and it becomes like silly, which I enjoy. Like the Freddy Krueger's The World, Friday the 13th. That's fine. I like those kind of movies and shit, but they're goofy. They're funny. They're silly. They're dumb. They're stupid.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Yeah, they're like slasher. Slashers to me, slashers don't scare me. Slasher movies don't scare me. I don't particularly enjoy them, but I'm not scared by them. Right. The paranormal terrifies me. Well, right, because the paranormal is, like, way more real. It's real, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Like, I'm not going to run into a guy in a hockey mask trying to cut me up with a chainsaw or whatever the fuck. But you've got ghosts, bro. Jason does. But ghosts, hell yeah. I've been tormented by a ghost before. You've got spirits. You've got demons. You're fucking thatmented by a ghost before. You've got spirits. You've got demons. You're fucking that Native American doll.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Exactly. You know firsthand. I know firsthand as well. Ghosts are real. Everyone knows that. If you don't think that, you're a simple-minded moron. Like, every time, you know, like, every time you look and you see, like, that door's open, I'm pretty sure I closed it.
Starting point is 00:05:20 You did, and it was a ghost that opened it. Like, you didn't misplace your keys a ghost moved it i do i do respect ghosts that still use the door they do they they gotta follow some rules over here uh now you actually bringing it up is interesting because you you talked about your haunted house a little bit here and there but you posed a good question where you know you're watching how they're haunting a pill house and you're watching Haunting of Hill House, and you're like, at what point do the parents start believing the kids? Right. So there's a whole setup for this show.
Starting point is 00:05:50 It's a family of five, five children and the parents, and they're house flippers. They move into this house, which, like, from Jump Street, you look at it like that's haunted. You know what? To be honest, this is really on the whole family. Like, you deserve this because when you move into that house, you know what you're getting. And throughout it, as always in the horror movie world, these ghosts and these ghouls and these apparitions are always appearing to the children first. And they say, like, Daddy, the bent neck lady is haunting me. And Abigail is in the fucking garden with me.
Starting point is 00:06:28 And they're saying, like, here are the ghosts. And I was sitting there one day and I was like, at what point do you start to believe your kid? Because you always brush it off as like, oh, this is my idiot kid who doesn't know what they're talking about. Oh, that's just an imaginary friend. That's just their imagination. At what point do you start to listen? And as I was thinking this to myself, my two-year-old daughter, Shay, comes downstairs. And she had not slept well the night before.
Starting point is 00:06:53 And I said, Shay, what was up with last night? You were screaming and crying. You were scared. And she said, well, Daddy, the knocks. And I said, what the fuck is the knocks? She said, the knocks at the door. And I said, what the fuck is the Knox? She said, the Knox at the door. And I said, what the fuck are you talking about? And I said, you were knocking on the door?
Starting point is 00:07:12 Like, did you get out of bed? You wanted to get out? You were knocking on the door? Or someone else was knocking on the door? She said, I heard Knox at the door. I said, fuck! This shit is on! Question asked and answered.
Starting point is 00:07:24 When do you start believing your kid? Right now! Right now! We're going to cut this all out so you don't have to disclose it. I was going to say. So go on the market and check that out. But I mean, you know, it could not have been worse timing. I quite literally was thinking like, God damn it. If these parents would just listen to these kids,
Starting point is 00:07:45 they could, they would all be safe. Nobody would have killed themselves. They would have, they would have been fine. And who was that? It was, uh,
Starting point is 00:07:52 Nardini. Are you trying to use her office? Trying to use her own office. Uh, I, you know, I, and who knows,
Starting point is 00:08:00 maybe like, maybe we're all going to be slaughtered now. Cause I didn't listen to Shay and the Knox. I, Kevin. Wow. We, you took it too dark. I hope not. Yeah, I was thinking maybe you knocked the price tag down a little bit. I wasn't thinking a fucking Clancy massacre.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Well, that's what's going on in this show, though. The whole family's haunted. So the little twist. Not twist. I have a moment to pick with this. I know. The children in the show are... They all represent the five stages of grieving, which are denial and
Starting point is 00:08:36 acceptance and bargaining and depression and something else. Right. And I... The kids embody those five things. I don't think that's very well known, because it wasn't very well written, if you ask me. Some of it was, some of it was not.
Starting point is 00:08:51 I knew it. You told me about it in an episode, you'd finished before I even started. You were watching it with that lens. Yes, I knew. And I still couldn't figure out which child was which emotion. Denial, no doubt, makes sense. That one makes sense.
Starting point is 00:09:06 The guy who denies it. He's like, we're not haunted. It's mental illness. This is not real. But that was so annoying for me because, dude, you see the ghosts. But he just thinks he's mentally ill. He's like, I'm fucked up
Starting point is 00:09:20 and the brain just runs in our family. But you're seeing things. You have to believe your eyes right look if you see no he's your fucking that is my brain playing tricks on me because we have schizophrenia and bipolar and all that shit but he doesn't even see anybody for it he's just like no he's like we're fucked he's like yeah no you know it's classic i guess yeah she goes all the time but you know just just classic family shit right some people have annoying grandparents i see dead people bargaining i don't even understand how that what that means
Starting point is 00:09:51 like what does that mean someone dies and you're bargaining with yourself in the in your grief and the sister theo who is the bargaining and like even in the explanation from i think the writer is like she's bargaining by putting up walls the the rest of the world. That's not what bargaining is. No, it was loose. It was a loose, and actually, to be honest, I feel like maybe this was one of those, like, the fans said it, and the writer was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what it was.
Starting point is 00:10:14 And then, like, the acceptance is the sister who commits suicide. That is not how acceptance of death works at all. That is not the acceptance part. part of the five stages of grief. The light at the end of the tunnel was like, you go through all this, and then you accept it and kill yourself. Don't worry, folks. You're going to get through the death of your mom. You'll kill yourself in the end.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Every single stage of grief ends in suicide. That is not what the acceptance part is. It was not perfectly executed but i do think there was a little you know there's a little something to it where you you know you're watching with more of a you're a little mindful of what's going on but the the point being that even whether or not that fully fits it is it's not just a horror movie or a jump out and scare you ghost thing this is is really actually about how like a death in the family, how suicide
Starting point is 00:11:07 and mental illness can like ravage a family. Right. I mean you see how much the children are affected. You see how estranged the father is and you watch each episode is kind of like dedicated to one of the kids. You know it's like alright this is Theo's episode and this is Nell's episode
Starting point is 00:11:23 and uh. Nell's episode by Nell's episode, by the way, episode five, Brickneck Lady, Bent Neck Lady, was awesome. It was so, so good. Yeah, that was... We're obviously kind of doing spoilers here,
Starting point is 00:11:34 but the reveal in that is so fucking good. Yep. I actually kind of, like, felt it coming, though. Like, I knew that was going to be the case. I don't know. Maybe I got it towards,
Starting point is 00:11:44 like, right before it happened. Yeah. But, like, I wasn't, like... Yeah, I wasn't on it from the jump, to coming though like i knew that was gonna be the case i don't know maybe i got it towards like right before it happened yeah but like i i wasn't like yeah i wasn't on it from the jump but i feel like by that episode i was kind of like i think i know what's about to happen um but i mean they go through drug addiction they go through you know uh sexy sdo with her like you know kind of asian chick and like and her her like refusal to let people in and the father-son dynamic. They go through all of it. So this show is really, it's much more actually,
Starting point is 00:12:11 when you think of it, it's much more like a show like This Is Us, Parenthood, that just has a paranormal twist to it, which is awesome. That's really cool because if you focus too much on the paranormal, you don't get a good show.
Starting point is 00:12:23 So this was a good show and they work in some fucking scary shit. The old lady and some of the jump outs, that tall guy who floats around, the bent neck lady. You know what? A little tease was coming later in this episode. Shout out Stan Lee. It almost felt like a Stan Lee type writing, where Stan Lee was like,
Starting point is 00:12:39 we do character development first, and then we focus on superhero stuff. This is like character development stuff, and then we focus on paranormal stuff. Which is why I'm okay doing it now. Obviously, they came out for the Halloween season, and it was a big time, you know, get your fright fest sort of fix during Halloween. But you can watch this. You can watch this in the summer. Like, it plays all year round. So Haunted House of Hill House is haunting.
Starting point is 00:13:00 A haunting of the house, the Hill House haunting uh gets the thumbs up from both of us two other uh bingeable shows one on netflix one on prime and i feel like these are these kind of go hand in hand to me in my mind because of when they were released and because of their subject matter it almost feels like they were made like in conjunction with each other to me they're very very different shows but they do have that same kind of yeah i mean it really is more just about they came out at the same time but when there's there's just this link to like military and and you know it just i watched one right after the other so it kind of uh connects in my mind you got bodyguard featuring our guy rob stark from game of thrones who is just he's a rocket jacked the fuck up he's a man rocket i mean really girls put it this way like
Starting point is 00:13:46 girls masturbate to that guy like they put on bodyguard and they figure themselves that's like that's where he's at um and homecoming featuring julia roberts on prime so bodyguard follows rob stark as he is the bodyguard for basically the secretary of state over in the british, whatever that's called. She is a very, like a... The Home Office. The Home Office. Which is such a weird thing. Yeah, that's silly.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Like it's called the Home Office. Yeah, that's silly. But everything about England is silly. And I like that. All their names are stupid. And they wear the wigs and stuff. The wigs. They just yell at each other in Congress or whatever the fuck it's called, Parliament.
Starting point is 00:14:23 They got the guards who just can't smile or anything. Right, with the fucking furry hats and all that. Like, get out of here. One of their fucking main monuments is called Big Ben. Everything about Britain is just a little silly. Driving the wrong side of the road. The wrong side of the road, yeah. They call elevators lifts and shit like that.
Starting point is 00:14:40 They call cigarettes fags. What are we doing here? What's going on? All of it feels like it's like Alice in Wonderland. Yeah. Like a little bit. Am I tripping? Just goofy.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Yeah. I'm getting a little off here. You goofy fucks. I drink warm beer. All of it. She's like, what are you doing? Why don't you brush your teeth? What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:15:02 So she is a very abrasive politician. She's making waves. And the main kind of interesting dynamic here is she's the one who sent Robb Stark to war in Afghanistan. And now he's home, and he's tasked with being her bodyguard. But he and his war veteran buddies, like, hate her. And they've always kind of said, like, I would murder anybody if I ever got the the chance anybody who sent us over there yeah so now he's got to be her bodyguard also plot twist they start fucking which actually is my main gripe with bodyguard i thought that they just like did that too fast and wedged it in there he's not really like he's way hotter than she is
Starting point is 00:15:39 it didn't really make sense physically or like literally like professionally why they would have started fucking. Oh, so quickly. And again, there was a buildup where it was like, you know, oh, there's some flirting there. And then the next episode, like he accidentally touched her leg. And then all of a sudden there's a spark and some Beauty and the Beast shit where all of a sudden, you know, they're into each other. It was just like overnight. They were fucking like episode two. They start banging.
Starting point is 00:16:03 And I was like, what? If it had come after he saves her life? Right. Because that's a Florence Nightingale effect or something like that. Fine. But it was just like they start banging right away. And I thought that really got wedged in there. I liked episode one, episode two.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Episode one. Shout out episode one. The first 20 minutes. Right. They came in so hot. I was like, this show is going to be awesome. Absolutely incredible. Episode two totally stunk.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Episode three stunk until the end, and there was like a plot twist. And then, to be honest, I kind of fell off after there. It gets – I think overall I give it like a C because it was entertaining. I don't regret my time I spent watching it. Right. But by the end, it felt like it was five seasons of television forced into one. Where it was, you didn't need all these storylines. It was crazy how many storylines there were.
Starting point is 00:16:52 There were parts at the end that were like when they're tying up all the loose ends. I'm like, wait, they were like a major player in all of this? It was, I mean, I'm going to spoil it because i think everyone who's listening has watched it is by the end of it it is corrupt police officers power hungry politicians deep state uh jihadists and major crime all five played a role in like what like six episodes yeah it was pretty quick right it was like how did all of these people get wrapped up together? You should have done one at a time like every fucking season of television does with everything. You got one bad guy this season, and then you beat that bad guy.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Bodyguard could have been several seasons long and probably would have been good if you fleshed it all out. And then it was much like the sex, like the relationship part. They just wedged it all in there and tried to wrap it all up in one shot. I kind of bailed on Bodyguard to pick up Homecoming. Homecoming from the producer, the creator of Mr. Robot, which makes a lot of sense once, like I didn't know that until I was a couple episodes in, and then it makes a lot of sense. It's very psychological and wacky and like off the same way Mr. Robot is. Mr. Robot, by the way, season one, was one of like the best seasons of TV. best seasons tv and two kind of carried it and
Starting point is 00:18:05 then after it got a little weird after that um i almost feel like that should have just been like maybe a mini series just done episode one and tied it up a little more but if you haven't watched uh rami malek and and season one of mr robot like drop everything go do it right now um so it is julie roberts as a psychiatrist who's participating in an experimental program to help veterans come home and transition back into society. It's got Lip Gallagher from Shameless, who is a vet trying to, what do they call it, re-assimilate. It's got the bad guy from Star is Born. But he's got such a small role. It's very weird
Starting point is 00:18:45 he's the uh he's the the vet who gets kicked out where he like he's not playing games you know he's not playing ball with a role playing and whatnot he's actually a british dude he's the manager in star is born so this show is being called the uh easiest binge watch of all time. It's six episodes of 30-minute episodes, which really means like 20-something minutes. So this is basically a long movie. Yeah, which is perfect. They're saying the New Avengers is going to be like three hours plus. This probably, when you do the math, 20 minutes here and there,
Starting point is 00:19:19 it probably ends up being like three and a half hours. So this is basically like the length of the New Avengers movie coming out. So you can bang this out like in an afternoon. Yeah, I don't understand when we decided that comedies are a half hour, dramas are an hour. Right. But we did. And people have just stuck to that.
Starting point is 00:19:36 This is the first time. Well, I think the thought is that you need like an hour to, you know, get through drama and build the plot. But if you do it right and you don't get too bodyguard with it, where it's like, well, we've got to have the sex, we've got to have the jihadists, we've got to have this, we've got to have that, because then it feels rushed. If you just kind of stick to the plan, stick to the plot, you can do things in 25 minutes.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Yeah. I appreciate it because it's probably a challenge, but it probably, you know, I remember reading the recap from my girl Erin who wrote the episode of Sunny that I love so much, the bathroom, gang fixes the bathroom problem. She was like, there is not a wasted word in that. It was 25 pages for 22 minutes, and I had to cut any jokes. They were good jokes that I left there because they just didn't fit. And when you have to fit it into 22 minutes, you need to, like, every single bit counts. So shout out to, what's his name, Sam Ishmael?
Starting point is 00:20:32 Yes. Like, he got the damn thing done in short half-hour episodes. It was. He did, but it just left me wanting something a little more. I was thinking maybe that should have been like 10 episodes. Right. You know, like, they did what they did in six, but like they probably could have gone, I like the half hour format, but I think there just could have been a few more.
Starting point is 00:20:51 They could have done more with it. It was, even like the end, there is real no, which I guess people love, right, where there's no like definitive end. Where it's like, ooh, wait, what do you think happened? I mean, it's pretty heavily hinted, but it's still like, I guess they're leaving it open for season two because maybe they reconnected or whatever. But, like, it was, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:13 It's just like I didn't love it. I thought it was fine. I did love the vibe. Like, it just has this vibe of, you know, is this real? Is this not? What's going on? And the music and, like, the way it looked gave this, like, ominous feel at all times. Lip Gallagher is fucking awesome.
Starting point is 00:21:30 I love that. He is so good. He should be in a ton more. So, definitely, they captured some sort of, like, aura about it, some sort of essence about it that was, like, once I learned it was the Mr. Robot guy, I was like, ah, you know what, that makes sense. Because this is, like, a very, it's, like, almost creepy.
Starting point is 00:21:48 It's very, like. Oh, it's super creepy. Yeah, eerie.erie here's a good word for it was just like what the just everything about it the location i'm a big location guy you are big on like sets and whatnot and by the way shout out to yellowstone you're rocking the hat right now i am we got uh the so this show on on yellow Paramount Network, Yellowstone that we love, Kevin Costner, he's on the ranch. He's like a rancher man. They sent us a trucker hat, a vest, and like a long-sleeved tee. But the vest is like what Kevin Costner wears in the show when he's like out there ranching. And I was like, I'm a man now. I got myself a Yellowstone vest.
Starting point is 00:22:24 So any other shows out there that we love and talk about, you want to hook us up with some gear? Or maybe like, you know, I was like, hey, Yellowstone, you want to pass Kevin Costner along here for an interview? Like we could do that too. Or appreciate the hat, but send me Kevin Costner. Or put us in the show. Or that.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Or we could be, imagine that. Actually, like we could not be in that show. Imagine us trying to be like cowboy extras. We're like chewing on some straw. Hey there, John. Yeah. Caught me a fucking bald eagle out there on the fucking ranch the other day. We would ruin the show.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Absolutely. It'd be like when David Arquette won the WCW. Except for these two fucking assholes. Yeah, it would be David Arquette winning a WCW World Championship, which we have an interview with him coming up on the second half of this episode. David Arquette, you know him from the Scream series, and he became a professional wrestler, married Hollywood superstars. Wacky dude, real wacky cat.
Starting point is 00:23:20 But we sat down with him and talked, so you'll have the interview at the end of this episode. So Bodyguard and Homecoming, both quick binges. If you need to kill some time, you're on a flight, maybe you're watching football on Sunday and your team gets their dick kicked in 41-10 and you want to give up on the afternoon and just watch TV instead, I recommend either of these two. SNL, Saturday Night Live this past week, Pete Davidson cleared the air with the Navy SEAL who he made fun of for wearing an eye patch. Pete Davidson, what a fucking whirlwind for this dude.
Starting point is 00:23:52 I wish we had got him in here when he first reached out to us because then I feel like we would have been friends and maybe he would be inclined to come back in now. Because I want someone to do a sit-down with that guy. His life has been kooky. And he's admitted it. That was the best way when he opened this whole thing up. When he was like, in a decision I'm sure will shock all my friends, I said I did something stupid. He's so honest, so real about, like,
Starting point is 00:24:21 he's always been honest about his mental health issues. He's being very honest about, like, his screw-ups. You know, it's probably a little disrespectful to Ariana Grande, and I feel like that's why a lot of their beef is, you know, happening. But he's being so real about their relationship, like the jokes he's been cracking all along, like, we're never going to break up, we're going to break up, we're never going to break up. And, like, a lot of the little quick joke he did,
Starting point is 00:24:44 hey, you want to get married maggie like you know ariana grande seemed to not like that on twitter and i can understand that i call it from jump street once he made that joke we're not gonna break up we're gonna break up that's it i don't care if you're rich i don't care if you're famous i don't give your poor whatever you start cracking jokes with that with your girl you're done but the weird thing with it though the like the backlash from him making jokes about it, is people have said odds where, oh, he's milking the relationship, milking the breakup, just like he milked the relationship for promotional stuff.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Ariana Grande had a goddamn song called Pete Davidson. I was going to say, Pete never did much other than he answered questions that were asked of him, but he wasn't like, I don't think he was parading and flaunting it around. He was always like, I buy the groceries. She has a $60 million apartment. He's made some jokes about his life. That's what comedians fucking do. Right.
Starting point is 00:25:30 What artists do is they write songs about their lives. She was doing that. It felt very like even. She did think, you know, yeah, both people are two artists expressing their emotions in separate ways. Right. That's what fucking people do. When she dropped Thank U, Next, like right before SNL, it was, like, well played.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Yeah. And he added, like, a nice little, like, shout out to her afterwards. I actually think this is, as public in the spectacle it's been, I feel like it's been a pretty, like, adult breakup. Right. Like, everybody's, you know, being pretty respectful in the long run. So, anyway, on top of all his Ariana Grande drama, he made the joke about this Navy SEAL who wears an eye patch.
Starting point is 00:26:06 By the way, it's ridiculous he wears an eye patch. Shout out to him. Thank you for your service. You look like a fucking pirate. There's just better ways. There's cosmetic ways that just don't look as silly as an eye patch. No, eye patches, I think they're badass. Fine.
Starting point is 00:26:21 You want to do that, but you understand that you are drawing attention. They're abnormal, yes. Yes. But they look fucked. You get yourself a regular little glass eye understand that you are drawing attention. They're abnormal, yes. Yes. But they look awesome. You get yourself into a regular little glass eye, and you look like Riggs. It's not a big deal. But you walk around with an eye patch, people are going to make some comments, especially comedians. But they both handled it well.
Starting point is 00:26:34 He popped on for the weekend update, and they busted balls. He had the Ariana Grande ringtone on, definitely took his jabs back at Pete. But then in the end you know his message was to never forget for veterans day he brought a full circle with pete davidson's dad dying i love that was the most important thing for it yeah because with the right left right like like most people who don't know pete davidson is like people who are like snL fans or comedy fans are aware of Pete Davidson's past because he talks about it. But if you just knew him as Ariana Grande's boyfriend, you're not going to know. You think he's a little fuck with silver hair, who's a disrespectful intrusion serviceman and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:27:19 And it's like, no, man, I've been dealing with this shit for a long fucking time. I'm in the mix with this. Right. So that was a cool moment all around. Funny moment. It gives people, gives the hard asses permission to be like, okay, maybe we'll give him a little bit of the slack. Maybe that's why he has some issues,
Starting point is 00:27:35 or maybe that's why he's lashing out. So shout out to all those guys. Great job out of them. Great job out of the HBO, out of HBO. Game of Thrones is coming back in April. I thought this was, like, for sure going to be July. April job out of the HBO. Out of HBO. Game of Thrones coming back in April. I thought this was for sure going to be July. April's not that far away. April is not far away. That's actually a good point. September, January, February, March. That's it.
Starting point is 00:27:52 We're good. Four months. We're good. But I get so tired of the Game of Thrones when they... The clip and the trailer. They always pretend it's something new. It's not. It's the same fucking show. Well, I don't understand. I not it's the same fucking show well i don't understand i think it's the loser fans right the fans see the snippet like yeah it was eight seconds
Starting point is 00:28:11 where we saw like fire from a dragon it's like it's like oh my god we like uh sansa's back at winterfell it's like right like i didn't even notice that it was like they were hugging in a different location i say that could have been clips from like last fucking, who knows? You guys overanalyze absolutely everything. I don't really care about how they did it. I care about that they announced it's April. Yes, I agree with that. It's really not that far away.
Starting point is 00:28:33 We're getting, I think it's eight more episodes, but they're all like two hours long. So they're all mini movies. Which is such an investment, but whatever. I'm here for it. I've already invested seven years. You could give me four hour episodes. My Sunday nights belong to Game of Thrones come April. So that's going to be – I think people are not going to be happy with the ending,
Starting point is 00:28:54 not because it's going to be done poorly. I just think this is like an impossible task to put a bow on this. Correct. And I think that they are really going to be tasked with are we giving you the happy ending or are we sticking to our guns because everything's been doom and gloom, and backstabbing, and power corrupts, and when you want them to zig, they zag, and when you want it to be happy, they fucking murder everybody. I want them to stick to that.
Starting point is 00:29:15 I would love for the White Walkers to, I would love Cersei to win, initially, and then the White Walkers to wipe her out, too. I would love, like, Khaleesi to backstab Jon Snow because, like, you know what the phone does to you. Kevin! Like, we're going to stick with George R.R. Martin's shit, which is interesting, though, because, like, are we? Because we're off of him now.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Yeah, but he's, like, we're off of him, but he's in the writer's room. No doubt. But what if George R.R. Martin's like, I want the Whitewalkers to win, and HBO's like, well, we have as much say as you do now. And we really think the viewers would like a nice little bow. I just could see that being an issue. I hope it's not happy Sunshine of Rainbows ending. I want it to be true to Red Wedding type of Game of Thrones.
Starting point is 00:29:56 We'll find out come April. R.I.P. to Stan Lee, 95 years old. I'm going to call him probably next to Walt Walt Disney, the most creative person of all time. And maybe even more so than Walt Disney. Walt Disney was a Nazi, so let's knock him down to number two. No, I think that's fine. Politics aside, when you create all of the most... I don't know how much Walt Disney actually did.
Starting point is 00:30:24 I know that stanley created spider-man iron man the whole the fantastic four all your marvel characters it's basically everybody except for uh um batman superman who were over on dc he created all of them their superpowers their backstory their costumes their personas and i think even more impressive than uh creating them originally you know whatever that was years and years ago i think even more impressive than uh creating them originally you know whatever that was years and years ago i think more impressive than creating them was making comic books cool right because like comic books always were we saw with francesca yesterday where it was like comic books have always kind of had the stigma like nerd like the nerd the guy on the simpsons
Starting point is 00:31:02 a big fat guy like that's that's who does comic book shit. And Stanley made them cool, you know, in the comic book world. But then years later, it's the most impressive movie franchise in history. And I think on top of making it cool is modernizing it and like evolving. He's 95 years old. He was making these comic books, these characters, 50 fucking years ago when you tweeted out the clip
Starting point is 00:31:30 of Iron Man talking to Spider-Man where he was like, you need some solid dick in your life to get your head straight because back then, solid dick used to be good advice. And now you see they talk normal and I'm sure you know there's other writers and more influence and shit like that but my point being like he he created them in a time where it was
Starting point is 00:31:51 like pleasantville and like happy america and like goofy corny like straight edge and now it's evolved to be cool in the 2000s where it's like totally new persona and lingo and behavior and stanley i think has kind of overseen all of this and been involved in all that so i mean to to take it from what it was to what it is i remember aware of all that it's incredible i remember like the first i don't know how many it was but the first couple of marv movies came out i was very much francesa like where i was right so johnson alluded to it so the caller called up mike frances the radio host of New York and said uh did you ever meet Stanley do you have any thoughts on him he died Francesa said who's that and the caller goes Jesus uh but then once he learns it
Starting point is 00:32:35 was a comic book writer he flat out says who cares who cares uh and I think there are a lot of people who yeah who think that like comic books it's nerds it's nerds, whatever. I don't know what the, I think the first Marvel movie I saw was Iron Man. But, like, what I didn't see in theaters. Like, I saw it at home or whatever. And I never had any idea, any reason to go watch them. I was like, nah, fuck that. Comic books, that's nerd shit. I watched the first Iron Man, and I was like, I am going to watch every single goddamn Marvel movie right now.
Starting point is 00:33:05 Again, I watched it later. I know that was probably one of the earlier ones, right? But I didn't see it. I did it with the rabbit and the raccoon. What's it called? Guardians of the Galaxy. That was your first one? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Oh, wow. I went back and watched all that shit. Yeah. Which is weird, because I read the comics. I just wasn't in on the movies later. I don't know what the fuck happened there. I saw Iron Man and it took up the rest of my day. Because I saw at a time where at least two Thors were out and at least two Iron Mans were out or something like that.
Starting point is 00:33:37 I just watched like five straight movies. It was awesome. Net worth, allegedly, supposedly only $50 million. It's because he gave it All to fucking Robert Downey Jr. It's cause it's all 50% Sure
Starting point is 00:33:51 I mean He should be worth Multiple billions If you created All those characters Yeah that's If you created Like one
Starting point is 00:34:00 If you created Just Spider-Man I think you're a billionaire How is that possible I don't know How is it possible For're $50 million? I know that down the stretch he was... Disney just bought Marvel.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Right. Right. I mean, you're the creator of Marvel, and Disney just bought all of it. How are you not $10 billion? I would imagine that was a big acquisition. $50 million. Dave's going to be worth like $20. And he created a blog.
Starting point is 00:34:24 Stan Lee created the most important comic book characters ever. All of them. And then they made fucking 18 movies, including the biggest movie of all time. He gets all the credit. I think all the Marvel movies are in the top 10. Yeah. Every time they come out, they're always like, this is the biggest ever. Now this is the biggest ever. Now this is the biggest ever.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Now this is the biggest ever. I don't know how he's only worth 50, but shout out to him. Also, shout out to our boy Rob McElhaney. McElhaney. Is that how it's pronounced? I don't know. I was leaning on you on that one. Oh, I've always said McElhaney.
Starting point is 00:35:01 McElhaney. Mac. It's Mac. Okay, it's Ronald McDonald. Mac from Always Sunny with one of the all-time flexes from the Sunny gang. In season 13 now, they've been trying all sorts of new techniques and styles and jokes and plots because they just can do whatever the fuck they want. I think this is one of my favorite seasons in a long time.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Which is funny because I think that I saw some feedback from people being like, all right, it's clear they're running out of gas. Oh, I disagree. I think it's very top-heavy. I think it was very hit or miss for me. I think the hits, I mean, obviously I've been gushing about the gang sells the bathroom problem. I think it was maybe my favorite episode ever. I think the misses were pretty big misses.
Starting point is 00:35:44 I just don't think that this was a miss. I think some people didn my favorite episode ever. I think the misses were pretty big misses. I just don't think that this was a miss. I think some people didn't like the dancing. But, first of all, the dancing was just, like, impressive. I understand it wasn't, like, what you're traditionally used to in Sunny. But it was fucking funny. And again, let me just set it up. So the Mac, the episode is Mac trying to fully come to terms with being gay and fully come out of the closet, meaning he has to finally come out to his dad.
Starting point is 00:36:07 And the way this all transpires after a very funny episode of him and Frank going to all these, it's like Goldilocks, testing out the fucking houses and the beds and the porridge. They go to, like, the drag queen gay world. They go to, like, the BDSM gay world. They do all these extra gay things trying to get Mac to be comfortable. And in the end, he learns that the way he needs to come to terms with it is to do an interpretive dance of the storm that has always been inside of him,
Starting point is 00:36:34 which is a beautiful woman coming down from God. And then he creates something and he comes out. And so he does a five-minute, full-blown ballet interpretive dance in a black room with water and rain pouring and he's all jacked he finally like put those muscles to use and i mean he just did like a fucking hardcore dance routine but like people are crying in it it was like beautiful and i get it now it yeah i get it now from from uh from danny devito from frank i know you thought it was funny like when they would pan to the crowd and the and
Starting point is 00:37:10 the prisoners are in jail like there is some humor there but overall that's not you would not be like yo check out how funny this scene is yeah you know and i think you know i have no beef with people who are like i come to sunny to laugh to laugh and for funny, ridiculous shit. I'm not coming for the interpretive dance about coming out of the closet. Guess what? Fuck you. It's been 13 seasons. They've always given you exactly what you want.
Starting point is 00:37:34 They have deviated like 0% if we're talking grand picture here. They've always given you the gang being fucking degenerates. So let Mac flex a little bit let him do something he wanted to push the envelope or get out of his comfort zone uh like everybody in his family is gay so this is a near and dear topic to him his mom and his brother right i thought there was a sister involved too but maybe not either way parent sibling a lot uh you know an important topic to him uh so let him do his goddamn thing. And the other 19 minutes of it, whatever, was fucking hilarious.
Starting point is 00:38:11 Frank with his nosebleed. I don't know why he always has a bloody nose, but it's so awesome. It's so good. Stuffing newspaper up it, the glue gun, the lemon. And by the end of it, his eyes are swollen shut. I mean, that was very funny. So even if you didn't are swollen shut i mean that was very funny so even if you didn't like even that was so funny like whether the dance would pan not just the prisoners but like a bloody nose crying frank reynolds his shirt soaked in blood like that is funny i i feel
Starting point is 00:38:38 like people like max tweeted like in the beginning like we did something tonight some people are not going to get it some people are going to hate it. Hopefully some people love it. We're overthinking it. It was a weird thing. He danced. Fine. People were like, this is not my Sonny.
Starting point is 00:38:53 It was like a two-minute scene. Relax. Shut up. Calm down. It was. And I'll tell you what. Critics have loved it. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:02 I saw multiple critics say, who would have thought at the start of 2018 that the most beautiful scene of television would be on Always Sunny in Philadelphia? I mean, it's an easy argument to make. I mean, I've not seen any TV show do what they did. Drama, romance, whatever. I watch a lot of TV. We started
Starting point is 00:39:19 this episode by talking about that. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen something that stuck out as much as that. That was different and new and cool. I loved it. Bro, I was watching it in the morning after we were out on the Wednesday, so I watched it Thursday morning, and my kids were glued to it. Keegan and Shay were mesmerized looking up at the screen. I started filming it. I was like, did Matt just turn my kids gay? I think so. They were, like, captivated by the beauty.
Starting point is 00:39:47 So shout out to the whole Sonny gang. Rob, come on the show, please. Come on. Come on. We sucked your dick hard enough there. Come on. Wrapping up here, the Breaking Bad movie has been announced. In my opinion, the greatest TV show of all time.
Starting point is 00:40:01 I recently restarted re-watching it, by the way. Yeah. And is it living up to the hype? It's still a very good show. Still pretty good. So the movie is out, or the movie is in the works. And the only knowledge we have is that it says it chronicles a young man
Starting point is 00:40:16 who has escaped for his freedom and, you know, where it takes him. Obviously is a heavy, heavy, heavy reference to Jesse in the final scene where he broke free. What if it's that little baby whose dad gets his head smashed in by an ATM? Totally different. The only thing that's interesting is Vince Gilligan has done interviews where he said,
Starting point is 00:40:37 I think, in my mind, I think the Nazis catch Jesse. Really? He was like, it's fun to, first of all, shout out to the whole Nazi thing because I thought that was a little like almost over the top. Like, oh wow. I always thought to myself,
Starting point is 00:40:56 Vince Gilligan needed to come up with someone more evil than Heisenberg and the only place he could take it was Nazis because that's how evil Heisenberg was. But sometimes I thought like, wow, he really just went with the worst of the worst. But Nazis are so real, and they're hot right now. I thought to myself, neo-Nazis aren't even really a thing. This is kind of just wedged into the show.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Well, no, it's very much that. Yeah, I could see that being a concern, because we live these sheltered lives where Nazi meth heads don't come into our day-to-day life very often. They're out there, man. Nowadays, yeah. So Vince Gilligan was like, you know, you love to think of him like racing away to his freedom, Fast and the Furious style. But realistically, his fingerprints are all over everything.
Starting point is 00:41:37 He's got a warrant out for his arrest because he killed two cops or whatever it was. Like, he was like, you know, within a day or a week or a month, he's getting caught. So I was like, oh, shit. That makes things interesting. Walter White, Brian Cranston also said he would love to reprise his role. I don't know how that would work. It would have to be in a flashback sequence. Yeah, you can do flashbacks.
Starting point is 00:41:57 I think you've got to have Walter White in a movie. You have to, right? You've got to figure out a way to write it. Give me more Mike Ehrmantraut. I love Vince having his artistic vision, and then you see a fucking check for what the movie could be worth, and you're like, if he gets away. But I do think he might get away fucking about three movies worth.
Starting point is 00:42:21 You want to talk about Fast and the Furious. We could do this shit. The finale was uh i thought they they did such a good job of like they gave the fans what they wanted they did tie it all up in a bow they did it in a way that wasn't corny though so i feel like the movie is going to be a lot like that where they're going to give the people what they want you're going to get i don't think it'll be anything that like leaves people disappointed or like feeling empty i think you're gonna get to get to see Jesse Pinkman be the hero.
Starting point is 00:42:48 All right, so let's get into this interview with David Arquette. It's brought to you by Ridge Wallets. This is the wallet that I use myself. It's got the card holder. It's got a little band to be like your money clip. It prevents any sort of identity theft. It's made out of carbon. So it can't – I didn't even know.
Starting point is 00:43:10 These thieves can zap your gun, zap your credit card, and steal all your shit. Yeah, I think that happens to me all the time. That's why I'm happy I got the Ridge. Because I honestly – I needed a new credit card every two months. Yeah, you do. And I asked. I'm like, is this more often than not? You can see how many cards i've had is it weird that i keep getting fucking like wrapped up in these

Starting point is 00:44:20 It's wild. Yeah, man. It's fun. Obviously, you have a good thing going with the acting and then it's like, I'm also just going to live out my dream as a wrestler too. It seems to all work out. Huh? I mean,
Starting point is 00:44:30 you could tell like a kid that you're going to be in super famous movies, unbelievable movies. And also you're going to be a wrestling. You're like, you're like fucking, Hey, I'll sign up for that. Well,
Starting point is 00:44:40 that's sort of how it all happened. I didn't ready to rumble because I loved wrestling. And I love, I actually didn't even really how it all happened. I did Ready to Rumble because I loved wrestling. I actually didn't even really like wrestling growing up. I liked it, but then I broke a futon and, like, my brother's neck, giving him a, what was it? Yeah, you got to be. The pedigree? Giving him a pedigree.
Starting point is 00:44:57 And so my mom was just like, it's done. There's no more wrestling in this house. It's over. And, but Ready to Rumble came out after that. And I loved Ready to Rumble. It was an unbelievable movie. So it was, it transcended wrestling. I don't know how many times Ready to Rumble and Transcendent are used, but there you go.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Exactly. I mean, there's time for everything. Dude, I like wanted to be like you and Scott Conn. I just wanted like that to be my best friend. I even like made comparisons. I was like, Sully, you're a lot like Scott Conn. I'm like David Arquette. Let's go become fucking wrestlers, bro. My mom's like, no one's doing that.
Starting point is 00:45:31 No, you're not. She squashed your dream, bro. You could have done it. Yeah, to become a fucking blogger and podcast. Yeah, mess your body up. Yeah, I mean, you've been doing the wrestling for a while now, though. I mean, you know. Well, 18 years ago, after the movie came out, I went on to promote it, and then they made me the champion.
Starting point is 00:45:49 People have been hating on it ever since for 18 years. How come? Because I'm not a real wrestler. Yeah, but wrestling in and of itself is acting. It's physical acting. It's Jackie Chan acting. You'll be buying your hurt doing it. You're going to get the wrestling mob to come after you talking like this.
Starting point is 00:46:09 It's acting where you can get hurt. That's just sort of in the last eight years or something, six years maybe, that they called it sports entertainment. I think it was because of the whole steroid controversy and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:46:24 So then it was, you know, they kind of had to reveal themselves. Although, I don't know. There's a lot of real stuff in wrestling. It's a lot realer than you think. Go tell Mick Foley that wrestling's fake. No, I'm not talking about the action, the physical action. That's real. I give you that.
Starting point is 00:46:42 But the storylines, there are storylines. There are some things, too, that are not storylines. I mean, people say it's choreographed, and I say it's choreographed MMA. It's like there are shots. Like, it's a lot harder than I thought. I would never, ever doubt how physically demanding a sport it is. And it is a sport. That came off my tongue naturally.
Starting point is 00:47:06 I've broken three ribs. I had a surgery on my elbow. I got a black eye. My whole side of my face swelled up. And then I had to go do a movie the next week. I show up on set like, I'm an actor. We'll write a car scene into this movie. A car crash into this movie. I was like, shoot me from this side write a car scene into this movie, and a car crash into this movie.
Starting point is 00:47:25 I was like, shoot me from this side. I had ice on my face the whole week. But it's the politics of it all, right? I mean, there are guys who are in the company for a long time who think they deserve a shot, or people who love certain storylines, and this guy who didn't pay his dues and all that kind of shit slides in and grabs the title. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:47:45 That's why. And it has a heritage. And you have to really build it up to, like, earn the opportunity to be able to get the pop. But the way I think of it is. The champ. Just two weeks. I mean, it's not like. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:59 It was a story. Yeah. But it was before the internet. And then after the internet came out then like everyone could just voice their hatred but the way I think of it is again like sports like no one's mad that Sidney Crosby
Starting point is 00:48:14 didn't pay his dues in the AHL people are still mad at the kid that caught that the Cubs Steve Bartman shit yeah but you're not Steve Bartman I am the Steve Bartman shit yeah but you're not Steve Bartman like you
Starting point is 00:48:26 I am the Steve Bartman of wrestling come on don't give yourself that tag I mean he might be you know he might be I kind of am
Starting point is 00:48:34 but I mean you own it you wear it like let me ask you this if you could rewind time would you say no no absolutely not
Starting point is 00:48:41 because just like you said it's like a kid's dream like you always dream about going up there. I saw Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant. I was like, that would be amazing to be up there. And then they gave me the opportunity. It's like Tim Tebow. People get mad Tim Tebow plays baseball.
Starting point is 00:48:56 He's like, fuck it, man. I wanted to play baseball. I want to play baseball. They're going to give me a contract. I'm going to do it. Yeah. I would not say no either. Jordan maybe shouldn't have gone away well it's a suspension you had to it's important it seems like you kind of just understand it
Starting point is 00:49:13 and own it though right I mean it's like you're not fighting against it you understand I guess what as a wrestling fan could you put yourself in a position where it was like if some if a guy you'd never watched before just came in and won the title you'd be like uh fuck this or would you have been as a, would you have liked it? Me?
Starting point is 00:49:28 I like all that kind of stuff. I don't. But I also, I'm always, I'm a fair weather fan with everything. You know what I mean? I'm not like devoted as passionately as wrestling fans are like horror fans. I mean, they might be very similar. They might be the most intense fans. You did Scream,
Starting point is 00:49:47 so you had like the horror fan type of thing. Yeah. And you did wrestling. Yeah. Which would you say... They cross over. They cross over quite a bit. It's interesting.
Starting point is 00:49:56 I was going to say, who's worse, but I guess, you know, in a way... There's a lot of blood and guts in both of them, really. Yeah, but wrestling fans are really passionate about it.
Starting point is 00:50:04 When you're a true wrestling fan, they know everything. And it's hard to, like, even keep up. Especially now. There's so many leagues. There's so much stuff. So you try to stay on top of it. And if you go away, the only way you can – I don't know how to get WWE network on my phone. So I watch some of the indie stuff on my phone.
Starting point is 00:50:21 But you can't stay up with these storylines. There's so many storylines. There's so many storylines. There's so many wrestlers. I can't believe how often it's on, like just regularly. Again, attributing it to sport, where football is once a week, it seems like wrestling is three times a week. It seems like wrestling is like The Bachelor. Well, it's really long.
Starting point is 00:50:38 I think all of it's too long. I think they're like raw. Three-hour shows, right? But wrestling fans love it. They'll sit through it all. I'm just like, get the pace going here. I personally think, I mean, like Vince McMahon needs my advice, but I would just give, they have a stable people backstage
Starting point is 00:50:57 that don't ever get their shots. You know what I mean? They don't get their matches. They don't get their storylines. They can break it up and have more wrestling more you know storylines more things moving just to give those guys some stuff or i want to do something where we'd go and just like do little movies with them or like little behind the scenes stuff a kirby kirby enthusiasm with wrestlers you know just like do stuff so
Starting point is 00:51:24 they're not just traveling city to city. And when you don't make the roster, you're like, ugh. Is that a lot of politics? Like, getting the roster, getting the fight time? Yeah, absolutely. And it all goes to, like, you know, who's popular or what's happening, who's not injured, all the different things that come into play. But, I don't know, There's just so much room for,
Starting point is 00:51:45 for other stuff and more matches. I mean, they just draw things out too much for my taste. I still love it. And I think it's incredible. And, and I watch it and enjoy it. But,
Starting point is 00:51:56 uh, I don't know when I go to the, the shows when they're like four or five hours, I'm like, I just can't, I don't, I have a hard time sitting through an hour. Anything. Yeah. When I'm done eating. I'm like, I just can't, I don't, I have a hard time sitting through an hour long meal.
Starting point is 00:52:07 Yeah. When I'm done eating, I'm like, let's get out of here. So we talk about the anxiety when the bill comes, I gotta get done. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:52:14 It's done. The, would you, now you're on the independent circuit now, would you ever go, like say Vince knocks on your door as soon as you get out of here. Vince is like,
Starting point is 00:52:21 David, need you, need you in the ring. You signing up? Well, I would love to do something, I mean, with anybody. I mean, any of these big companies that are going around, but yeah, I mean, it's
Starting point is 00:52:34 amazing. I don't want to take anyone's spot though, and that's the whole sort of thing. If I can help, you know, put someone over or add to a storyline or something like that. See, fuck that, man. You've paid your dues. You're a fucking face. Someone else is like, sorry, man,
Starting point is 00:52:52 go make it in fucking Hollywood first and then they'll give you a spot. I'll tell you what, I don't like people giving you shit for this at all. Thank you. I appreciate it. Because it happens. Especially like, there's a guy named Bully Ray out there who's famous. He's been in WWE. He's one of the's been in WWE.
Starting point is 00:53:08 He's one of the, I forgot his name. Dudley Boys. One of the Dudley Boys. But I was going to say the Nasty Boys. They're all the same. I don't like the Nasty Boys either. I like the Dudley Boys, but just not Bully Ray. I just don't like bullies.
Starting point is 00:53:23 You know what I mean? There's a lot of bullies in wrestling. There's a lot of, like, there's all Bully Ray. I just don't like bullies. You know what I mean? There's a lot of bullies in wrestling. There's a lot of, like, there's all this funny stuff. I went to this one, like, thing and, you know, show and did the show and went back to my hotel. And they're like, oh, I'm sorry. We don't have a room for you. And I'm like, well, what do you mean? They booked it through a third party and they didn't clear it with us. So you don't have a room.
Starting point is 00:53:46 Okay. Walking down the street with my roller bag. But it's like, that's wrestling to me. That'll happen. Right, right, right. And it's only happened to me once, and I'm sure it happens to these guys all the time when certain things don't happen. Aside from wrestling, you're still doing acting. You were in Bone tomahawk yeah
Starting point is 00:54:05 that's the most fucking real movie i was just cool i love that they just queued it up i was about to watch the scene and i was i mean i can handle that kind of stuff but i you know even just when it was about to start and that dude like the cannibal walks in i was like oh shit i don't know if i can handle this, totally. That director is amazing. He had such a vision for it. He's like, okay, imagine, like, you know, this tribe of Indians, but they've never interacted with human race, and they've inbred a lot, so they've mutated, and they've have these.
Starting point is 00:54:37 So they're like, yeah, this whole, like, mythology to them. I was like, yeah. That shit doesn't bother you? Like, you enjoy horror films and stuff like that. But when you make them, you know, it kind of breaks the reality. You have to suspend your disbelief a lot like wrestling. Right. You just got to, like, you believe it.
Starting point is 00:54:53 You know what I mean? Whatever your scenario is, you find your part in the storytelling, and you work with, you know, telling that story. Has there ever been a scene in a horror movie that you weren't in? Or not even horror, but just, you know, because I wouldn't call it Bontama, a horror movie. But something that just sticks with you forever. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:13 Because that Bontama, I can still hear. I've only seen it once, probably three or four years ago. I can hear the noises. Probably three. Yeah, noises will be a good one. I can hear the noise of it getting split in half. That will never, ever leave me. Is there a horror movie that you would?
Starting point is 00:55:28 Well, I directed a movie called The Tripper where I split Paul Rubens in half. Just like that. I just got cringy. Everyone's like, oh, they split him in half. I was like, I did it in The Tripper, but no. But it was more comedic but um uh yeah i mean there's there's a lot of like there's one like this is really psychopath but um there's a really scary um uh not marilyn manson uh charlie manson the like the i don't know what it's called, but it is so scary.
Starting point is 00:56:07 Yeah. I mean, it's so creepy, Charles Manson, but no, this movie that the guy made. Oh God, it's creepy. It's so creepy. This one to hear how creepy this thing is. This is the one that I can't forget. They, they like recreate those real murders, which makes it even scarier. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:23 But he's like stabbing the, and he stabs him, and he throws a fart in. Ah. But that's so, like, psychopath. Like, he's stabbing him, so a fart came out, and it's not funny. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:37 It's like, oh, that's, like, biology. Right. It's just, oh. I remember I went to, I was in Spain when I was a freshman in high school I went with my grandfather and two aunts And we went to a bull fight Because it was kind of appreciated in the culture And all that stuff
Starting point is 00:56:52 And yeah the bull I guess becomes incontinent Or loses control of his bowels Because he's been stabbed so many times He's just walking around in rain Pissing and shitting everywhere I laughed. That's honestly, that's the worst gory.
Starting point is 00:57:07 That's a horror movie right there. This is the most awful thing I've ever seen. I saw one bullfight and I'm done with that shit forever, too. Bullfights, bone tomahawk, out. Done with it. I did a movie with an elephant. My first scene, I walked in here, meet the elephant, meet the elephant. And then the elephant took a crap in this tent.
Starting point is 00:57:27 Sitting right behind, the fucking tail comes up i'm like oh my god this is like the craziest you're like gold bloom in jurassic park just like staring at somebody just like grabs like the uh a shovel and took care of it really quickly but that was intense dude the other saw, I think, who's the guy in Twisted Sister? Dee Skinner? Oh, yeah. What's his name? Dee Schneider. Dee Schneider. He was in a horror movie that I watched away at hockey camp once.
Starting point is 00:57:55 Was it Rob Zombie one? He does some good work. It began with an S. It was about self-mutilation. Oh, that's tough. Dee Schneider, his character is- Oh, I hate that stuff. He's hanging from hooks. Oh, that's so. Dee Schneider, his character is like he's hanging from hooks.
Starting point is 00:58:05 Oh, that's so hardcore. It was, dude, we were like a bunch of 12-year-olds sitting in a dark room. That one stuck with me too. Yeah. You got a lot of ones
Starting point is 00:58:15 that you carry with you. When we were young, we used to see this thing called Faces of Death. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We know Faces of Death. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:58:22 That transcended? Oh, gosh. Oh, yeah. That little girl gets hit by the train. Oh, no. Gosh. I know. That transcended? Oh, gosh. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's horrible. That little girl gets hit by the train. Oh, no. Gosh. I know.
Starting point is 00:58:29 That's the worst stuff. I hate that. Yeah, the real thing. Strangeland. It was out in 1998. Strangeland, yeah. I was probably nine. Because listen, though.
Starting point is 00:58:35 I mean, like, Tomahawk's gross. Dude, they did that. It's all fake. The Faces of Death shit was real stuff, man. Yeah, and so is this hanging stuff. They did that at the Jane's Addiction concert where they'd swing these people over the crowds from their backs. Skin ribs, man. That's the thing.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Skin ribs. I've cut myself a lot of times. We went backstage at Lollapalooza in Chile, and we were all friends with them. And they were like, you want to see us put the hooks in? You said yes. Oh, I couldn't take this. But yeah,
Starting point is 00:59:13 yeah. Let me get a front row seat. They have to do it in different spots too. So they have them like lines down there. Yeah. Yeah. They can, they can't do it.
Starting point is 00:59:22 So the weight distributes. Yeah. It's disgusting. It's vile. It really is intense. Have you heard that? Sorry, but what's it for talking about? Self-mutilation. Have you listened to S-Town, the podcast?
Starting point is 00:59:36 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know of it. That's you, right? Did you hear? Yeah, I know. I listened to it. You got an S-Town thing going? What was it. What? You got an S down there going? What was it?
Starting point is 00:59:46 No, I don't have an S down there going. No, but he was just like into piercings and the way they describe it. It's all audio, but you can really get a sense of the nipple rings. Oh, I'm all set on all that. Oh, hang on. Let's go back. Do tell. Continue.
Starting point is 01:00:03 But there are some fun facts on that one do you know every what's it called the little time what a sundial yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:00:12 every sundial has a little message just alright you guys realize that he I'm into podcasts oh yeah okay
Starting point is 01:00:20 so when they say oh that's your shit he's thinking I'm into self-mutilation he likes podcasts to be fair you look thinking I'm into self-mutilation. He likes podcasts. To be fair, you look like a guy into self-mutilation.
Starting point is 01:00:30 You got the nice green polo on today. It's forest green. You guys don't have any tattoos, do you? I have one tattoo. Yeah. Nah, you guys aren't into self-mutilation. I'm into wrestling. Are you kidding? That's the ultimate.
Starting point is 01:00:39 Talk about self-mutilation. It's total like a pain factory. Like there's an adrenaline thing where you don't feel it when you're doing it. So it doesn't hurt so much. But my first match, I got whooped.
Starting point is 01:00:51 You want to just start doing steroids? No, no, no. I'll do it with you. We'll be like pen pals about it. No, you, apparently I did ask. And apparently you have to stay on it
Starting point is 01:01:03 if you're on them. You can do them a little bit here you just dabble in it yeah just to get a little chunk going i love that i did ask my doctor was like are you kidding no like did something does something with your testosterone so you have to like stay on testosterone yeah you gotta go in and out of it. You got to take the estrogen X afterwards. I don't know stuff I've read. But it's like, I feel like if I ever need an excuse to stop being fat and just like do steroids. That's why. That's a pretty solid one.
Starting point is 01:01:36 No, I started wrestling. I lost 40 pounds in four months. Did you really? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I was watching some of your wrestling videos. You're all fucking caught up. So you just do it from no carbs, dude. No carbs.
Starting point is 01:01:47 No, but carbs are so fucking good. I know, but if you don't do them after 12 o'clock, you're going to burn it all off. In the morning? If you can have carbs, don't eat a big meal at night. I have this whole thing of this. It's not so secret now, but the secret superhero. The secret Hollywood superhero workout oh yeah but it's not really it's just don't do carbs and do cardio i mean you'll lose a ton of weight i run all the time and don't eat food you're gone stretch
Starting point is 01:02:20 stretch do cardio and don't eat carbs no No bad bread, rice, or pasta. I've started smoking weed. I'm one of those people who get turned 30 and is like, okay, I'm going to do weed now. Late-term pothead. Trying the pot? Every night I just hit a weed pen and then eat three bags of chips. No carbs, no fly zone for me.
Starting point is 01:02:44 If you could say you had to give up one, wrestling or acting, what would you pick? I don't know. You got to. You got to. You got to. Got to pick. Well, they're both similar. They're both, there's acting involved.
Starting point is 01:03:00 So I would give up wrestling, but i could still be a manager so what do you got coming up as far as uh this northeast wrestling this big event where uh jerry the king lawler who legend legend legend in in memphis and in wrestling in general he's the true true king. And then Jimmy King was sort of based on him roughly. And, you know, he wrestled with Andy Kaufman. So there was a fun time. But he wrestled this guy named Brian Anthony, King Brian Anthony,
Starting point is 01:03:34 who I have a feud with going with Northeast Wrestling. I think I saw one of your tweets to him. You're asking about a mullet, right? Oh, no, that was Flying Brian. Flying Brian, okay. Pillman, who's Brian Pillman's junior. He was amazing. Wrestler died way too early, and his son's doing it now,
Starting point is 01:03:53 and he's amazing wrestler. And a great guy, really incredible personality. You have a lot of respect for wrestling. Yeah, absolutely, man. You totally take a different tone when you're talking about it. I'm a fan of it. So that's the weird thing. I meet these guys, and I love wrestling.
Starting point is 01:04:09 So when people give me a hard time, I grew up. I don't like to be, nobody likes to be pushed around or punked or bullied. So I'm not a chicken shit. So what's up, bro? And they fucking like start, you know, okay.
Starting point is 01:04:30 You know, you got a problem with me. Let's, I don't, I don't want to fight anymore, but I will. But I will. I don't want to,
Starting point is 01:04:38 but if the option is on the table, it's not the last choice. It's not so bad. I mean, you have to be careful fighting nowadays. Some people, everyone knows jujitsu. Think, okay, last choice. You have to be careful fighting nowadays. Everyone knows Jiu Jitsu. Think, okay, you're going to sleep.
Starting point is 01:04:50 Even worse than going to sleep, you end up on the internet. Just getting knocked out. A viral video, you just getting your fucking head kicked in. That's not the worst thing to happen. I'd rather have my head kicked in in private. If it's up to me, let's do it behind closed doors. I'd rather have my head kicked in in private. If it's up to me, let's do it behind closed doors.
Starting point is 01:05:07 You'd rather get your head kicked in private or get 500,000 more followers? Oh, yeah. Well, look, if you're going to knock me out, fucking at me. Yes, exactly. Throw a guy a tag here. Yes, right. Exactly. That's why I wrestle.
Starting point is 01:05:32 That's a perfect way to put it right there man i feel like the uh the scream series was um i mean probably between the the cult following of i mean it's funny because because scream is kind of cult within the cult very meta about the cult following of horror movies but then it has its own cult following versus the the cult following of horror movies, but then it has its own cult following versus the cult following of wrestling. Right. I mean, how many screams were there? Five. Four. You were in all of them? Yeah. Right. I was supposed to die in the first one, but Wes Craven brought me back. He's like,
Starting point is 01:05:56 alright, we'll throw you in an ambulance at the end. We won't know if you live or die. Right, right. That's always the best, right? Thank you, Wes. You're the Aaron Paul. He was supposed to be what one episode jesse uh it's something like that it was supposed to be early on yeah yeah he made the made the whole time uh that's that's like a big co-sign when you know it's like all right well actually we'll keep you alive wes was the coolest guy yeah yeah just like a total mentor and you've
Starting point is 01:06:20 certain people throughout like you know i've been active for 13 years now so you meet certain people throughout, like, you know, I've been active for 13 years now. So you meet people throughout that are true mentors, like Wes Craven, Gary Shanley, Paul Rubens, like a bunch of people are just really like, wow, teach you a lot, take you under your wing, like give you advice. Does it get annoying? Like I've never had a mentor. I guess you're kind of a mentor of mine.
Starting point is 01:06:44 You're kind of a mentor of mine. You're kind of a mentor of mine. But, like, if someone tried to mentor me, I'd be like, shut up. Leave me alone. Fuck you, man. Fuck you. When you eat the guys that are, like, legends like that. When someone really knows what they're talking about, you listen. That's the thing.
Starting point is 01:06:58 You know, Wes Craven was like, get your shit together if you want to marry this girl. Yeah, that's a good tip. He saw what was going on. I'm giving that tip. I'm a fucking mentor too then. He said it classier though. Hey, that's a good co-sign too. A guy like Wes Craven is taking an interest in your life like that.
Starting point is 01:07:17 It's not just the movie scenes, what's going on with you and your girl. That's got to be flattering, right? Yeah, yeah. I feel like you kind of go from acting to wrestling, and a guy named The Rock goes from wrestling to acting. Yeah, there you go. Do you have any interactions or experiences with him? I went to a charity that he was, his charity one time, and he was a super cool guy.
Starting point is 01:07:42 He's so smart and like so. Everyone always says that. I want a bad story about The Rock. I want one person to just be like, he was a dick. You. He's so smart and like so Everyone always says I want a bad story about The Rock. I want one person to just be like he was a dick. You know what?
Starting point is 01:07:48 Just do him. We'll edit this. He's a dick. No, you know what? The Rock like it's easy to know who the dicks are especially in the wrestling business
Starting point is 01:07:56 because they kind of Who are those? Say them. Bully Ray. Bully Ray. The Nasty Boys. The Nasty Boys. So we were filming this documentary I'm the nasty voice. The nasty voice. So we were filming this documentary.
Starting point is 01:08:09 So I'm doing a documentary following this sort of experience. And we go and we're interviewing Eric Bischoff. And we have this, you know, we're sitting there and we're setting up the interview for later. They do this thing called legends of Hollywood. Some, some, uh, like event where they bring in a bunch of these legends and they throw a
Starting point is 01:08:31 wrestling match and you can meet these, you know, Ric Flair and sting and all these guys and the nasty boys throw it. And, um, so we're like, uh, can we,
Starting point is 01:08:43 can we come in and film? And they're like, no. Like, like, no. We're like, oh, okay. Well, we had to interview Eric Bischoff anyway. So we stay in the same hotel and we're like, worked it out with the hotel that would get a room and do it. We're just shooting some B-roll,
Starting point is 01:08:57 sitting at the bar having a drink and talking to Eric. And we're shooting like this. My back's here and Eric's here. And the camera's like shooting at me and the bar's behind me. And back's here, and Eric's here, and the camera's, like, shooting at me, and the bar's behind me, and then all these wrestlers come in. I didn't even know, but they all start sitting down, and the guys, it was our first day of filming,
Starting point is 01:09:14 the guys that are filming it came around with the camera, and then one of the nasty boys grabs the camera and throws it. It's, like, super expensive camera breaks the lens and like you know and uh freak out i'm like what's going on and then now i'm surrounded by people and this big tall dude grabs my neck by the back of the neck he's got a big long beard and like mohawk and i'm like what's going on they're like they didn't ask us if we could film and i'm like and i realized this guy's got my neck and i turn up and look up at him and grab his beard and i said if you don't let go of my neck
Starting point is 01:09:54 but his girlfriend punches me in the ear and the whole scrap goes up they're like david calm down david i was like david i didn't don't know what the hell's going on. They're like, he didn't ask if we could film. I was like, okay, well,
Starting point is 01:10:10 you didn't have to throw the fucking camera as this whole scrim's going. I said, keep filming. Are you filming this? Are you filming this? Get the shot.
Starting point is 01:10:19 That's the best kind of wrestling documentary footage there is. Yeah, totally. I told you it was real life. It was crazy. It was crazy. It was crazy.
Starting point is 01:10:29 All right, so where can the people catch you these days? You're on the Northeast Independent League? I'm running around. It's kind of hard with my schedule. I think after this, I'm going to have to just show up places, just as sort of surprise things. But I am going to House of Hardcore in December, which is a big one where Billy Ray will be there. Although Tommy Dreamer and Billy Ray throw the event,
Starting point is 01:10:49 and Tommy Dreamer's like, you know, Billy Ray wanted to show me in the ring. We're like, well, we'll figure it out in the ring. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is like, I was like, I wrestle a lot with a guy named RJ City who hates me, and he's my wrestling partner, and I'm supposed to get him on a talk show.
Starting point is 01:11:07 I should have brought him here. I could have checked it off my list, but, uh, he, he doesn't like me. He's only doing this to get famous. So whenever,
Starting point is 01:11:18 whenever we wrestle, it's like three bad guys against me. And I'm like, so, so that was happening. And I asked RJ, what's the term that he used? Call it in the ring. What's call it in the ring mean?
Starting point is 01:11:35 And I know what it sort of means. But he's like, well, it's kind of like a real fight. Tommy Dreamer, who's an amazing guy and hilarious, was like, I'm not going to do that to you. Yeah. I guess I'm not going to do it. But I've been talking so much trash about him. And I know he's like a bear that if you poke him, he gets actually upset. So I won't be surprised if he tries to attack me there.
Starting point is 01:12:04 And then there's this guy named Tyson. You're just constantly looking over your shoulder. There's this guy, Tyson, apparently, who's on the Greg Gutfield show or Gutman show. You know this guy? I know. Greg Gutfield. He's on Fox, right? Yeah, he's on Fox News.
Starting point is 01:12:18 This guy, this big dude. And I'm like, and he tweeted something. This is the elbow that I'm going to show David Arquette what it's like and he tweeted something this is the elbow that I'm going to show David Arquette what it's like to wrestle or something. Oh, I saw this.
Starting point is 01:12:30 He's kind of a Samoan looking guy. Yeah, yeah, totally. And I'm like, oh really? So I said, what do you call that elbow? The sellout elbow?
Starting point is 01:12:40 This dude's sitting on Fox News? Like really? Yeah, it's tough to be talking shit about wrestling when you're on the Fox News set. I mean, come on, this dude's sitting on Fox News. Like, really? Yeah, it's tough to be talking shit about wrestling when you're on the Fox News set. I mean, come on, this dude. All right, man.
Starting point is 01:12:50 Good luck. Keep looking over your shoulder. I feel like you're making a lot of enemies out there. Be careful, bro. If you ever need another guy, I'll start doing steroids just in case you need it. He'll be ready for you. Slow it down, bro.
Starting point is 01:13:02 I gotta be ready. You're doing the steroids. You're on the pod. Dude, you need a mentor. Well done. Well done. Thank you very much.
