Hary hungry jaws of death. Y'all don't cross my depths. I'll pause your brets. I cause you to sink down 40,000 leagues bleeding to death with no arms and short sleeves. My world's deep blue. Killer's got to eat too. Deepest bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin. Deepest bluest, oh, my hat is like a shark's fin.

Deepest, my hat is like a shark's fin. Deepest blest, my hat is like a shark's fin. It's shark wig. Everybody get your fins up. Who's right there for shark wig? And no, we're not talking about the Shark Week that is actually a Shark Week. We are talking about Shark Week informally here on page 7. Not to be confused with the official observed Shark Week that is done by National Geographic.

This is Shark Week observed here. And it is because we have the absolutely wonderful co-host of the last podcast to the left and brighter side. His name is Ed Larson. I got fins to the left, Fids to the right. And they're only getting down. Bait in town, baiting town. Yeah, you're the only baiting town. That's right.

And, excuse me, MJ, I hate to correct you off the top here, but Shark Week is actually a part of the Discovery Network. Discovery. Discovery. Oh, Discovery. Oh, my God. Disney wants Shark Week. Every Shark Week, Nat Geo starts putting out extra shark documentaries to compete with, to compete with Discovery channels. And I, you know, I don't agree with it.

But also, am I going to shoot? down more shark material? No, I am not. But I just feel like that there's a way in which to pivot that like there are so many animals. Don't get me wrong. I love sharks. And we hear page seven, this is a pro shark show. Yes. And if you have a problem with that, I mean, take it up with the sea. I don't know what to fucking tell you. Well, every to combat shark week on brighter side, we did this once before. And I think we're going to do it again soon, where we put on an episode every day of the week, shorter episodes, all about gators. And we call it Gator Week. You Because I feel like gators are underrepresented in the animal in the predator world.

Yeah. And so I think that gators should have their own week as well. You're right because here's the thing. I love to celebrate Fat Bear Week, which... It's a lot of fun. Obviously, you are familiar with Fat Bear Week. And we love. Don't say obviously to Eddie.

Because he loves bears. I do like bears. He just loves bears. I love salmon. I wish I was a bear. If I could choose an animal to be, it would be a bear. You would be a happy, jolly bear. Yeah, I was like doing a t-shirt on it, but no past.

Yes. Like, be there. Oh, absolutely. I fucking steal a picnic basket, man. I don't give a shit. Get in there. Get in there. Honestly, all bears make me think of you, Eddie.

Thank you very much. Regardless of animal, whether they are the animal or the human being, they all make me think of you. And I know that you love bears, specifically because we went up to Big Bear. Yes. And now I feel like every time I see, I feel like I'm taking a page out of Linda's book and I feel like every time I see a bear, I kind of want to buy it for you. Oh, yeah. Thank you. You did buy me one bear. Was it a bottle opener or something? Yeah, I did. Yeah. You did give me a bear bottle

opener. Become a guy who collects little souvenirs that are all bears. I hate to tell you this. You're already bad. I got two bathrooms. He's already bare. I got, I got, I got ticky bathroom with all my tiki stuff and then I got bear bathroom with all the bear stuff. But the bear stuff is more of my own personal bathroom me and Julie's bathroom and the Tiki bathroom is for the guest. I love this because in my home we have his and hers and then we have Godzilla's. But that's

just because one bathroom is mine. One bathroom is Jeff and one bathroom is Godzilla's because we're you supposed to put all the Godzilla stuff that you have. Well honestly Godzilla, your Godzilla bathroom is what inspired Tiki bathroom. I have to say. Thank you. Oh my God. This is big. I was like, hold on. We could theme a bathroom and I was like, okay

well, I'm not getting a Tiki bar anytime soon. So might as well make a Tiki bathroom. Tiki bathroom. Yeah. MJ, if you had extraneous bathrooms, what are we themed in the bathroom? Like a bathroom that's just for, like, are my children designing it? Or is it? No.

No. Fun for guests. Fun for guests. Okay. He's a friend of ours has a horror themed bathroom. And I read that is a Mike Lawrence's bathroom. He has a great horror themed bathroom in his home and it has great art inside of it. And I love the, I think it would be like, it would be designed to look like a, like a train car.

from the 1920s, like an elegant, like a bar car. I just thought you were going to, like, a hobo's car. No, no, no. I'm not talking about riding the rails, although that would also be fun. But I mean like an elegant bar car. Just put hay in the corner, be like, go where you want. No, no, there would be like a shez, like, you know, like a cushion, like velvet. There would be a lot of like, and there would be like a little mixed area.

The toiletries would be in like little things that. looked like a fancy bar cart from the 1920s. It would be old Hollywood. My grandmother used to put carpet in her bathroom. Nothing grossed me out more than that. And it was just like there's carpet around the toilet. It's difficult to do. The carpeted toilet seat.

Remember the carpeted toilet seat? It was really insane. I remember moving into when we first moved into our home in Florida. Everything, including the kitchen, was also carpeted. What were people doing back then? What were you? Like, I feel like that was just like huge. thing back then. Just living with the bugs.

Just like, just pissing all over the carpet while it just goes through to the wood underneath. Yeah, you got to wash the mats, man. What's going on? What are we doing here? What if you get norovirus, you know? Like one bout of norovirus takes out your entire, you have to remodel your entire bathroom. You don't want to go out like Hackman's wife, man.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's a tough way. It's a tough way to go. It's a tough way. I've been on a Hackman kick, by the way. Oh, really? I've been trying to be, because he really is, I think I've to, since he's passed away. I knew it before, but I think he might be the greatest actor of all time. Okay. And so I've been revisiting

a lot of his movies and watching the ones I haven't seen yet, and I just watched the movie Eureka. And holy shit, that's a movie. But it's nothing to do with the castle. No, no, but it's about he does own a property called Eureka. It's very, it's like Citizen Kane, there will be blood type movie.

Hell, yeah. It's very good. I highly suggest incredibly dark. This cover of Eugene, Eugene, I See Eureka. Might be, yes. Gene Hackman has such a haircut in Eureka. MJ, if you look at the cover of Eureka, it's quite a, it's quite a back poop.

He looks like he's got a headband on and like shalacked the front, except there's nothing shalacked in the front. That's how I always picture him before his entire identity was replaced by just the hantavirus, which is what I, I live above a restaurant, I live in New York City. There's a lot of rats around. and I do live in constant fear of what happened to Gene Hackman and his wife. It takes more. I worry the rats will come for us.

They need time. You know, they were in that hut that she went into for decades. Yeah. Yeah, you know, like, you can't do that.

As a former chef in New York City, you're fine. Okay, thank you. We had apartments above our rat and fist in this. They all lived. Yeah, I mean, I feel like the rats used to bite at my toes when I lived in Brooklyn.

I feel like they were just like, God, just a little bit more. They literally choose. through the brick and through the metal to get into our kitchen. And then we'd have to like fill the holes. It was like a constant battle. The East Village, you're just not going to defeat the rats. There's nothing you can do about it.

And I think New York is just, it's always going to be rat filled. And there's nothing you can do about that. But hopefully your new mayor will. Well, we just started putting our trash in trash cans, Eddie. So I don't know if you know about this. But, um, it's New York City has changed a lot since you live here. We now have only a certain neighborhood, one to two neighborhoods, I think. have the pilot program of trash cans for the trash.

It's not going to work. Wait, what's going to happen when the snow comes? Yeah, what's going to happen when the snow comes? And then they're going to sit in the cans? I don't know. Every other city that puts their trash in trash cans except our city. We don't have alleys. There's no alleys.

Chicago has alleys. It was built incorrectly. Listen, I'm just, I'm just a person living above a restaurant, begging someone to do something about the rats. Is there right? You know, you ever thought about getting a pellet gun? Yeah, do it yourself. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know, I thought about getting a snake. I would like to put a snake in the garbage area. And then we could have a snake problem instead of a rat problem. I like. And I think that would be fun. See, I feel like that's a more manageable problem. Even though, again, Eddie and I do know that the Anaconda or the Python problem in the Everglades, very, very difficult. So maybe you don't want to be doing this.

Yes, no. Well, they're not going to breed in New York. You're fine. Don't worry. It's too cold. It's too chilly. It's not like Florida. What did they start breeding with the rats? When did the snake start looking the rats? Now you're trying to make the next jaws, Jackie.

No, I think I'm trying to make a continuation for 28 years later. I'm sorry, MJ. Eddie and I did watch 28 years later last night. And so did Adam. I see you back there, baby. That was fun. We had a blast watching 28 years later last night. MJ, have you watched any of the 28?

I know it's Shark Week and we're talking about zombies. I understand. It's a pop culture podcast. We can talk about whatever we want. We can, we can take it. No, I haven't watched any of the 28 units later because last night I was busy watching Jaws for the first time. But you can tell me about the zombies.

I'm down for a zombie. Oh, we're going to be, and we're going to be getting to Jaws. But I would be, I feel like we have to bring up the fact that it was really very funny to watch such an upsetting movie. I was sitting one person away from Eddie and in between us was his wife, Julie, who does not like these kinds of movies. But she does like them.

I think she enjoys the squirm. She was so upset. She just kept going, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. It was very stressful. I don't mind, but Eddie knows. I am much more scared of a slasher than a,

the supernatural stuff doesn't upset me that much. And same with Jaws, honestly. Gideon kept being like, are you scared? Are you scared? I was like, I'm enjoying myself very much, but I am not scared. But I feel not usually that scared by a zombie. But yeah, like, I think slasher's specifically are my scariest. Although I will say these zombies, because usually I am someone that is not a big,

I'm not a huge zombie person. I could take them or I can leave them. I never got into The Walking Dead. I read some of the graphic novels of it, but I just really have never given myself over zombies. But the 28 days later, specifically this world of zombies, they're rage zombies. Yeah. And they are

very, very upsetting. I've seen 28 days later, I don't even know how many times. It was a long time. It was like my first DVD. I watch it, I think it, right, Eddie? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We specifically have watched 28 days later at least four or five

times. Yeah, no, it was one of the ones that was always on. Because it was so groundbreaking, MJ. At least for, me specifically. I was so upset. Oh yeah. I know I'm not just like the other girls. Yes. It was like it was the first time we saw like an empty city like Vanilla Sky did it afterwards but it was like it was him walking around London just empty was so terrified. And then it was also I think one of the first times if not the first we did the fast zombies were a thing. And so they kind of and now with 28 years later

they really do keep pushing the zombie envelope and they are like creating new ways to deal with zombies and new problems with zombies. And I really appreciate that because let's face it, I'm not going to a zombie movie to sit here in reality. You know, I want to show me the craziness. I want to see the madness. Let me push it. Yeah.

Let's go there. Although you do say that, Eddie, and I will say I actually was even further creeped out because last night, for some reason, at the movie theater, there was like an insane explosion to get into the movie theater that it was a line that took like 15 plus minutes just to get inside of the movie theater. And it was calamity. People were cutting in line. And honestly, I love describing things as calamity.

That's my favorite word for chaos. It was chaos. I never seen anything like it. It was, and people were losing their minds. And it made me feel like I was all key. I had at the top of the stairs, I had to yell at someone because they were trying to cut in line. And I went on a minutes long diatribe about how society is crumbling and how this person was adding to it.

And I just openly, loudly, gilted and made fun of them. He didn't move, but I will say I wouldn't let him in front of me in the line. Yeah, no, that's good. You know what? Did you wait in the long line down the stairs around the corner? I waited in the long.

Oh, no, see, I, whenever I see a long, when I see a long like that, I'm like, oh, absolutely. You're a budger? Whenever I see a line like that, I'm like, that's not for me. You're a budger? I'm an A-list member. I am an alas member I got to the back of the line Like I was supposed to at more

Well you know You just go up to the front Ask questions But is this really the line Well here's my ticket I'm right here Wow Everyone's most beloved friend

Ed Larson admitted budger Interesting I'll get you in I'll get you in Wow Also showed up right as the movie Was starting And they couldn't find their seats

Made James move seats Well no I found my seats See just what we weren't together and I wanted to sit next to my wife. After you cut the line? I asked him to move seats because, you know, me and Julie got a giant pretzel. After the movie had started. We were on the opposite side of eight people.

Has everyone passed in the pretzel back and forth? This is how it starts. If someone's going to get up and move their fucking seats. This is how it starts in a zombie movie. Somebody just makes a choice to look out for themselves. And then society crumbles. And it's snowballs. They live and I got the pretzel and I got the, you know, I ordered a head.

I almost didn't make it to the movie because I'm having trouble feeding my dog right now. And so it was a struggle. And I didn't get dinner. And, you know, you got to eat your dinner. You got to eat. You can't just eat popcorn or else you're going to be sick. Yeah. Oh, man, I'll tell you what, I almost got sick off of that pretzel.

Oh, the Bavarian legend don't play. Oh, it's just, it's all dough. It was barely cooked. You should have made everyone pass it down eight people. That would have been very fun. Back to Julie. Back to Julie. Back to Julie.

Back to Julie. Back and forth. I would have done it. Ed, I would have done it for you. You don't have to. I know. He is the one person who refused to move when I asked. I would have a process of moving.

We had a whole line of people that had to get up and move and we were in the process of moving. I know. If I was sitting down. Because the movie had already started. It didn't start yet. There was one last preview. The movie had already started. You know, one thing I know is that like if I was, you know, with a big group of people and I knew there was a couple coming and there weren't two seats together, I would look like that.

I didn't know that you were coming. And I didn't know. No, you were sitting with that point. Okay. And then MJ I didn't know I was coming. I told you I was coming. But also we had a bunch of friends

that weren't sitting in that row. So I didn't know you were sitting in that row. Yeah, no. Interesting. It would be the pro-social thing to do would be to save two seats for the couple. Yes. But Ed did a deeply anti-social thing,

which was cut the line. I didn't cut the line. I just asked some questions and got in. And then you got into the front of the line. I would have seen it happen. And I think my brain would have exploded as I was... Are you ready for this?

I don't think anyone noticed. I think I'm that smooth. Wow. To be honest with you. I hope that... I really don't think anyone noticed. I hope that the long line didn't know this. What's going on?

What is this is a long? This line is for a special event or is this for... Oh, it's a big one. And is all the way back there. My movie's right. This is my theory. My favorite was somebody came up to me and was like... My wife.

Yeah. Well, this is the thing. They came up to me as if they're exactly like they were in a fucking hospital. They're like, please, my movie, it started at 645. And I was like, yeah, my movie fucking started at 650. Back of the line. Yeah, you don't ask, yeah, you don't ask the public, you know, for help. Back of the line. You're not going to get help from the public. You just got to approach to people in charge. My wife and I have this large pretzel. We have to share. Can't you please give me your seat? It is funny because then I

then had to wait like 20 minutes for the pretzels. So it didn't actually matter. No, it didn't matter. But you know where all of this would have really crumbled, and that is, and that is in the city of Amity. And we're talking about Jaws right now because here's the thing. It is the 50th anniversary of Jaws this weekend. Oh, it's an old shark. Although I think that they last a while.

They last longer. Yeah, great white sharks. They live up to hundreds of years. We looked it up last night. Oh, they get real old. And back then, 50 years ago, like even as he's doing the research in the movie, they really truly didn't know.

how old sharks could get. They didn't know how they were like, have they actually just been around since the dinosaur ages? Which, yes, but are they the same sharks? This is when we looked it up because in the movie, they're like, no one could know how old a shark is. And I was like, okay, is this a 1975 thing? Like, in 1975, we really didn't know how old sharks were.

So then we stopped to look it up. And yeah, man, how fun that 50 years ago they made this amazing shark movie and they were still, there was so much about sharks they didn't know. Damn. Yes. Apparently, Great white sharks live between 40 and 70 years. Just like us. Honestly, I feel like in my brain, I recognize that that is a shark fact.

But it's like take it away from here that they're not thousands. I feel like every shark is actually just thousands of years old. Well, they are dinosaurs, you know. There were different sharks. There were Megalodons, which are like a much more massive Great White. shark and and you know where they find the most megalodon teeth here's a good little shark fact for you people you know where they find in in montana in montana there's a valley in montana that apparently used to be filled with megalodons and then once you know and once pangia came and like pushed

the plant everything back together now that they find they find all these megaladone teeth in montana in this valley this is why everyone needs like a nine-year-old boy in their life you know who's like full of facts about dinosaurs because it's one of those, I don't identify as somebody who loves shark facts, but then I hear a shark fact and I'm like, yeah, give me more.

Give me more. Like that's cool as hell. It's so, they're so scary and I know that as someone that it's just, I have a lot of fear of the water in general. So it's just like adding fear on top of fear. So I feel like it always made me actually come full circle

and not be that scared of sharks because when I would go into like the Gulf of Mexico, yeah, you're going to see sharks. And that necessarily didn't scare me as much as just sitting on a noodle chilling in the Gulf of Mexico. That scared me way more. It's like, give me the shark.

Then at least I have a reason to be scared. Well, you know? New Smyrna Beach is the shark bite capital of the world. Is that where people are getting bitten this week? There's been two shark attacks this week. Yeah, well, yeah, but no one has died. This has been a couple nibbles. You know, nothing too crazy.

They need something to eat, Ian. They're curious. Jackie, are you more afraid of a water park, like a condom in a water park? Oh, yes. Or a shark. Oh, yeah. A condom in a water park. That takes, you know, some courage to have sex in the midday in a water park.

She's convinced it's all condoms, Eddie. It's all condoms. It's bandades. It's more band-a-band-aids. It's a lot of band-aids. If it's like a late-night water park and they're open all night, you know, like there might be some condoms, but that doesn't really happen that much. You know, I mean, there's plenty of chemicals to kill whatever's going on.

Yeah, and then it's fine. Yeah. And they can just splooge all their douche all over me. Not all over you. You just, you have to, you wade towards a puddle. You know, they're not spraying it on you. You just get hit with it. Oh, okay.

So it's like a back splash. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah. Then I guess I could handle that. I think we, I need to go to a water park this year. Water parks are my favorite thing. Me too. I haven't been in so long.

Go with MJ. I love water. Oh, it's been forever since I've been to a water park. These people, the last water park I went to, oh my God, that's such a good time. They had this lazy river. Oh, my God. It was unbelievable. I love the lake.

This river, I mean, you've been on, I know you love lazy rivers. I do it all for the river. The what? The river. I do it all for the lazy river. I get my ass. I am scared of every other body of water except, I mean, I'm down with a pool, but a pool or lazy river. Yeah.

I'll tell you, this lazy river I went on. It was so lazy. You know how lazy it was? How lazy was it? It was a lake. That does sound pretty lazy. You know it's lazy because it has the first two letters that are the same. That's definitely lazy.

Yeah, well, you guys are both Floridians. I grew up in the Midwest. And so I, to me, the ocean was the water park, right? I grew up a few hours from Wisconsin Dells. That's where you went in the summer. That was where you vacationed. And so I had no fear of sharks because how is a shark getting to me in Dubuque? And so, yeah, I really...

Say that to the Megalodons in Montana. Yeah, it turns out maybe the ghost of sharks was there all a lot. Whoa. Now, where are the ghost shark movies? Whoa. I do want to beg someone to make a ghost shark movie. Although, is that? I feel like it has to exist somewhere. Because there's ghost ship.

Yeah. But there's no... I think there's just ghosts on a ship. I don't think fish have ghosts. I think that they're like... Why? I think... I don't think reptiles have ghosts. I don't think amphibians have ghosts.

I don't think fish have ghosts. I don't think birds have ghosts. I think anything cold-blooded... I think anything that's been alive since the dinosaur times has a spirit that is connected to the dinosaur times. I think I feel like every... Sharks are pretty stupid. I don't know.

There is a movie 2013's ghost shark word on the street. It wasn't... Oh, it was directed by Griff. Oh, Griff first. Oh, Griff first. Yeah. Griff first, grab second. Yeah, you always go to seconds.

Wow, he was really into, there's ghost shark, there's swamp shark, Lake Placid three. Griff first is getting into. That was a big get for Griff. Wow, good for him. There's also a type of shark called the ghost shark. Oh, yes, that's pretty cool. I just need to tell the listeners, if you're wondering why we aren't talking about celebrity gossip beyond the 50th anniversary of sharks. Here's the thing.

There has been a lot going on in the, you know, big boy news lately. And sometimes when that happens, the celebrity news grinds to a screeching alt. Don't go to the page six front page right now. There's nothing but, you know, Islamophobia and racism. There's no celebrity news whatsoever. It's dry as a desert out here. But Stephen Spielberg was nearly broken psychologically by making jaws. And so that's what we're talking about.

You're right. And I feel like you're really underplaying the fact that Ray Romano on Everybody Loves Raymond was upset. And I'm so glad we finally have confirmation. He was a little upset that the name of the show was Everybody Loves Raymond. And we could read a whole article talking about how many, many years later, the show that made him lots and lots of money, sometimes he was annoyed by the name. And that's one of the biggest headlines we've got this week.

You know, it's so crazy. Like, he, like, had one side comment on some podcast, and there's an article about it. There's an article about it. Because right now, the celebrity gossip writers are desperate for something that it's like, will it make anyone smile? Like, is it something? Is it any? And everyone's like, nope, no smiles here.

Turn away. No smiles here. That's the other thing. All the celebrity news is just what people said on different podcasts. And there's very little to, yeah, he said the quote is, everybody loves Ray. What if the show stinks? Good question, Ray Romano. And also, I'm sorry, MJ, I haven't shared this with you yet, but Eddie, have you noticed anything different about me?

Is it, you're wearing tie-dye? No, it's not that. That's the same. You have a Tuesday sock? Yeah, I have finally purchased days of the week socks. So, yeah, this is what we're going to be talking about right now. You know you have to wash them, right? Yeah, I guess I still have to wash them, and I still got to go through them, and I have to open up every single pair to see

which day of the week is the one I'm supposed to wear it. Are you going to wear them on the wrong days? You've got to get a laundry routine now because if you don't have it on the, yeah, are you going to wear it on the wrong days? That's the thing. Did you throw out all your other socks? I, yeah, all of them. I'm going, only day of the week socks now.

I must be told what sock to wear on which day. And I honestly didn't think about how much, man, it's so crazy when you realize how much, I'm not speaking so much for you, Eddie, because I feel like you didn't go quite through what MJ and I, I feel like used to do to ourselves, of like creating something to be brutally anxious about. And I didn't realize that I connected because I remember growing up,

I was obsessed that I had day of the week underpants. But then when I opened up these socks and I went to put them in the wash, I immediately was thrown back in time of like remembering the like, tantrums I would have because like I needed to wear the underpants on the day that it was and I was

like what have I done? No they should not make them. Monday through Wednesday like you wear these for these three days you know and by the way the fact that those socks don't say Toes Day I'm pretty disappointed. Oh come on. This is why.

Higher Ed. Higher Ed at your novelty sock company. Oh Ed please. I just got the socks and I'm going to wear them all summer For Monday we do what, Bunn Day for Bunyan's. Wow. Oh, I guess.

I just feel like even that's a stretch. But then it's like Wednesday's Web Day for Web Feed people. Oh, that's good. So everybody feels seen. All right. I'm down with that. You know, I'm down for inclusivity. I feel like this is going to be.

I just Thursday. Turds day for shitty feet, you know. Oh, yeah. That's an easy one. That's foot day. Foot day. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Obviously. Obviously. Obviously. Yeah. I'm just. That we talked this out because I just, you know, I don't know if you guys have ever thought about getting day of the week socks. No.

Back in your life. No, I never, I didn't know it existed until you showed it to me. Really? Yeah, I almost didn't know it was Tuesday. Awesome. You're welcome. Thank God I'm wearing these socks. Or it's how the hell would you know?

I've got special compression socks for my foot problems. So I don't have the luxury. I don't have the privilege of doing days of the week socks, Jackie. Because some of us have feet that don't wear. properly. And some of us have more special socks. You have tiny compressions or up the leg compressions? I like the up the leg compressions more. Right now, just my feet are being compressed, not my legs. But I've never felt better. Never felt better. You got to get the long ones. I've never looked worse.

But I've never felt better. For the plane rides. Got to wear them on the plane rides. Yeah, it really helps. It really helps. No, I went to my, my, I crashed my brother's 20 year college reunion. And the first thing my best friend said to me was, what is going on? with your feet. Just because I have such a visible foot setup, I've got my orthotic sandals. I've got my compression socks. It's really,

it's a whole ordeal. And so... Do they get super big? What happens? No, no. It just looks like a little tiny sausage wearing a, well,

like a regular size sausage wearing a little tiny sock. Aw. You know. That's nice. A casing for the casing. It's a casing. Yeah.

It's a case. In 2008, I went to Bonarue, and I thought it'd be really cool to not wear shoes the whole time. I forgot that I'm actually allergic to grass. And so on Sunday I ate a bunch of acid and we're driving home. And then I'm looking down and like I'm all tripped out on acid.

And then my feet got really big, you know. And because of all the allergic reaction, I looked down on my buddy who's sober. And I'm like, hey, man, are my feet real big? And he just like looks at me. He's like, I'm so sorry. But yes, they are. At that point, you don't know if you want him to say no. No, or mind.

or it's real. Oh, God, just get me through this, man. There ain't nothing like being trapped in a car with someone that is tripping nuts. I did that. With huge feet. I mean, with huge feet. I just feel like I went through that.

And then I had to drive because he fell asleep. And so then I was driving with my big feed. Luckily, I didn't speed. I had to take the next day off of work because I couldn't get my feet in my shoes. You? But, you know, it's the Florida way. I feel like that's really when your Florida is showing.

Whenever you start talking about being on hallucinogenics and like still going on a long car ride. And I'm just like, what did we, man, when in Florida, I guess, but please. But I was in Tennessee. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. It's up by Bono. Driving to New York. I was Florida blood, but it couldn't take me out, really.

Yeah, I'll never take you out. Which is why I think part of the reason in rewatching Jaws, which I don't think I've seen in probably 25 years. Damn. I always, I'm being real with you. I thought it was a Florida movie. Oh. I didn't realize it wasn't a Florida movie and I felt very stupid. Yeah, I was trying to figure this out.

It's filmed in Martha's Vineyard. Filmed in Martha's Vineyard, but it's not fancy, right? It's like a kind of... Well, back in 1975, Martha's Vineyard wasn't fancy. That's what Gideon said. He just said, it's 1975. And I was like, it was it... Okay, so it's just, yeah, it's just like a little ramshackled beach tourist town.

Yes, but they call it Amity Island in the movie, which is in a real place. Okay. But it is Martha's... his fingers. Jaws 2 though, Jackie, are you ready for this? I'm ready for it. Filmed in Pensacola. So it is, I could see where you got your Florida energy. And then Jaws 3 is supposed to be

like a SeaWorld and then Jaws 4 is in the Bahamas, which is Florida adjacent kind of. Florida Jason. I could see where you feel like. Jaws 4, the Revenge. It's a really bad movie, but it does have Michael Kane. Michael Cade. Yeah. And so it's worth a watch just for that. Ooh. Does he...

That's very funny. He plays a man named Hogi who tries to fuck Brody's wife. Wow. Oh, he's and grinders. Fucking on my wife, okay. I don't think

I'll ever get that far in the world of Jaws, but will you say that we should definitely check out the second one? I think, no, I think that my second, if I were to put them in order,

it would go one, four, two, three. Really? Wow. Three's the worst one by far. Three is really bad. Okay. Three is especially bad.

Okay. Yeah, but four, Four is they're all really bad except for Jaws. Let me, can I, can I, I need to say that at first. I'm ranking three really bad movies in a matter of opinion.

So, and the only reason I think I like four the most is because they got that great banana boat kill. And I love Mario Van Peebles. And he's got, he's in that too. Okay. And so I really like that.

And I like the Bahamas. And, you know what I like about Jaws 4 is they really like, yeah, with lack of a better term, jump the shark as far as the, as the plot is they make it so these sharks are specifically hunting Brody's family. And they will follow them across the world to kill them.

It is so crazy. So I watched back to back. I watch Deep Blue Sea and then I watched Jaws. And Jaws is still, I was doing a little bit of cursory research into shark movies in general. I love Deep Blue C. I just wanted, you know, deepest blue as my head. is like a shark's fin. Yeah.

I, of course, love LL Cool J in it. It's such a fun, silly, stupid movie. I think it's so interesting that I feel like everyone looked at Jaws and was like, all right, shark, very scary. Everybody's scared of it. How about we make them bigger and we make them faster? And it's like, I feel like already, though, the shark is so scary. It's scary on its own.

That Jaws did such a great job with the simplicity of how scary. Just having a huge fucking shark that is hungry that's out there. And even though it doesn't, it's not supposed to like the taste of humans. Yes. It keeps going after. This one's a man eater, you know, and there's a thing you can do about that. You know, it happens to bear sometimes. Oh, yeah.

So, you know, Jaws itself, Bruce, the shark, by the way, its name is Bruce, named after Spielberg's lawyer. And if you want it, they're about to do a big Jaws exhibit at the Academy Museum, by the way. They're taken over the top floor. And the reason I think at the beginning of the show that I was thinking that Shark Week is National Geographic is because National Geographic is putting out a new documentary about Jaws and about Spielberg's relationship with Jaws. And he just keeps every quote from Steven Spielberg about making Jaws is like, I thought it was going to be the end of my career. It turned out to be the beginning. But like I have PTSD from filming Jaws. I was so upset all the time.

Well, they made all the wrong choices. you know, they were filming on the ocean. Like, you know, saltwater does to fucking filming equipment. Like, it's bad, you know, there's always, like, they always move in and stuff like that. It's very difficult. The shark never worked. And the fact that the shark never worked is actually what made it such a great movie is because if the shark worked, then the shark would have been in the whole movie.

But because the shark didn't work, they had to, like, do, like, shark POV and stuff like that. And so you were more scared because you had to use your imagination. And you didn't know what was that. actually coming at you. And then once they got the thing working towards the end, then you're like, all right, here we go. This is Jaws. Oh, we're really going to come after it. So it really changed the way that filming,

that movies are made, that horror movies are way, that monster movies are made. Because now, like, you don't always see the monster at first. Yeah. And you have to, like, kind of imagine it. And then you kind of grow to see it. Like Cloverfield. You know. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And stuff like that. I did enjoy the first half

more than the second. I would divide this movie into the first half. It's all about the time, yeah, like the townspeople figuring out what to do about the shark. It's, yeah, it's an administrative, it's an administrative drama between a police chief and a mayor, and I love that. And then the second half of the movie is shark fight. And I enjoyed the shark fight. But I did like the point of view, like, as I was saying to Gideon. It's also male bonding. Yes. Also, yeah, a lot about masculinity in this movie. But yeah, I was like, I don't think I'm going to be afraid of like a mechanical shark from 1975 because Gideon was like, watch out. This movie's really scary. And I was like, I think it's scary to you because you saw it when it was, you know, when it was when it was when it was when it was when it was when it was when it was when it was scared of a mechanical shark and he was like, he said the same thing. He was like, it's not about the shark. It's about the suggestion of the shark. I mean, I loved the entire movie, of course. But I did like the, the drama of the first half more than the shark fighting of the second half. The, I will say the shark, the mechanical shark to me looks just as good as any CGI shark I've ever seen in it. For sure. Yeah. It looks. It looks. so good. So much better than CGA.

The movie holds up so well, like even down to like when they think they catch Jaws, but it's just the other fish, but I was like, that fake shark that they used or whatever they made out of was so well done. Yes. Oh no, it really was.

They did a really good job with it. It looked real as hell even though it was like much bigger than a normal gray white shark. I really want to watch. So there's going to be a documentary. It is not out yet called Jaws at 50. I really want to watch. Now, of course,

there are like 10 different Jaws documentaries. I own a DVD. I own a Blu-ray. I own a BHS. I've seen it all. Anytime there's a Jaws anniversary, I rush to the video store

and get my new edition. So I'm thinking about actually upgrading my DVD player to a 4K just so I can get the 4K Jaws. Whoa. Great idea. So that is where I'm at

in my Jaws fan. them. I love the shirt. I got, I got, I'm wearing my jaw's 50th button down that I bought for the anniversary. I'm full jaws nerd. Uh, I'm full jaws nerd. There's, um, actually to prepare for, because I knew we're going to talk about jaws and I think I've seen jaws more than I've seen any other movie. Maybe Army of Darkness is a close second, but, um, I've seen Jaws so many times. So to prepare, I wanted to watch some other, uh, shark movies to kind of like, you know, like, see where it goes. And the first one I watched is actually related to Jaws. And it's a great, it's also a Nat Geo documentary.

It's called Playing with Sharks, the Valerie Taylor story. Now, if you just saw Jaws, now, you know that there's lots of mechanical shark footage in it, but there's also lots of live shark footage in it. Oh, yeah. Like when the shark gets stuck on the top of the cage and stuff like that, that was all filmed by Valerie Taylor and her husband. And so, Ron Taylor, I believe. And like, Valerie Taylor is, her story is unbelievable.

She's an Australian, just hero. She was a pioneer for women. She was the, she was a champion female spear fisherman. And she killed exactly one shark. And then when she killed that first shark, they have footage of it even. They show you. And it's very upsetting. Oh my God.

And when she killed that one shark, she's like, she swore it all off. She's like, I'm not spear fishing no more. I'm going straight in the conservation. work straight into filming. And so she became like a shark photographer. And she became someone who could swim with sharks and not get attacked. In fact, she made it her life's work to swim in the most dangerous situations among sharks and film it to show people that we should not actually be scared of sharks.

Because when she did the shooting for jaws and she got that, it was an amazing footage. the shark on top of the cage. You know, it's like one of the craziest nature footage you'll ever see. And it just happens to be in the movie Jaws. And everyone thinks it's part of the plot, but it was actually just a crazy accident that happened on her last day of shooting.

And so, but, you know, after Jaws, as we know, humans are stupid. And they saw Jaws and are like, oh, okay, sharks are bad. We got to go kill every shark. No. And so there was, especially in Long Island and Martha's Vineyard in these places,

all these like shark fishermen would like do these shark hunting charters and they would go out and they would just call hundreds and hundreds of sharks and it was horrible and because sharks are the maybe the most other than like plankton sharks are probably the most necessary creature in the ocean they're like they're there the alpha they need to like make sure that everything is they're you know the cops of the ocean they got the huge dongs on them like in 28 years later yeah exactly yeah lots of A lot of big dons on them. Zoddy dogs on them. 28 years later. Oh, but yeah. So people went out and they were killing these sharks forever and ever and ever. And then Valerie finally started getting them protected like species by species. And she started with the nurse shark because the nurse shark looks very scary because its teeth stick out of its mouth.

And so it looks like something. But they never attack people. They never bite people. It's like very, I think there's like only a handful of attacks, never a kill from an Earth Shark. Deep Blue Sea. This is why you don't make their brains bigger. Makos are very dangerous. Mankos are the fastest shark in the ocean. And then I recently watched another Meko moiko movie to prepare for this. And I didn't even know this movie. It's called Miko Mecrazy.

Mika Miko! Mecrazy! No, but the one I saw was called Under Paris, where a bunch of Mekos started attacking the Seine River. Wow. Man. How did they get all the way over there? These were Makos, and there was one big Mako that killed a whole bunch of scientists and then figured out how to breed extra. I really didn't understand it because it was dubbed. It was a French movie, you know, and so it was dubbed. And so I was paying attention.

I was on my phone a little bit, to be honest. And all the sharks were smoking cigarettes. But just like Jaws, there was a mayor that didn't want to shut down the big triathlon in the signed river. You gotta shut it down. politicians. So at the end, they had like a hundred sharks in the river, and then there's like a swimming race,

and it was a lot of fun watch. Hell, yeah. And the ending was actually pretty cool, to be honest with you. But it was a bad movie. But if you want a stupid shark movie, I totally suggest under Paris on Netflix. There are a lot of bad shark movies out there,

but here's the thing. There's also a lot of fun shark movies out there. And, you know, they're not, they might not all be the greatest, but I will say, if you want to watch, thin bitches lost out at sea. I feel like there are multiple thin bitches lost out at sea. Oh no, it's a shark.

I feel like that movie is really taken care of. Yeah, deep water. Yeah, what's the one with the shadows, is open water. The hot, hot, hot, hot girl. I just remember how hot she was in the movie poster. It was a shark movie. Was that deep lucy? I know there's one with Blake Lively.

I know there's one with Mandy Moore. Blake Lively, the shallows, I think is what you're thinking of. Is that what I'm thinking about? Yeah, Blake Live. That was like one of her first. big movies. Yeah. That one was fun.

That was actually pretty good, to be honest with you. I didn't like deep water. You remember deep water? That's the one where the fish, where the scuba diving trip forgets. It's the one based off a true story. What's the one? A hot girl loses her arm. A hot girl loses her arm.

Yes, that could be, it happens in a lot of them. Okay, I'm Googling it. Hot girl loses arm. Shark movie. Yeah. They're saying soul server. Soul surfer. Is that what I'm thinking?

I never saw soul surfer. You gotta get a waiver for soul surfer. I've never heard of that. I don't think it's soul surfer. But maybe it is, MJ. And maybe you've just been watching weird fucking shark movies in 2011. But I don't know what you did in 2011. It's possible.

No, we did. Jackie and I both saw dangerous animals. We did see dangerous animals. Which is a new shark movie. It is. And I told you about this, MJ. The shark serial killer. Shark serial killer, but via shark not killing sharks.

Yeah, the shark is actually not the bad guy in this one. That's honestly what made me like the movie so much. It's a great movie. As someone who's worried that people are going to go out and kill sharks because they saw a movie. I think that that's what made me like this one so much. Also, the killing of the animal doesn't go just to sharks. I remember Finding Nemo almost took out those little clownfish. And then Dory did the...

I remember when I went and saw Finding. Dory, there was like a PSA before the movie like, please do not go out and buy this fish. Yes. This is like, please do not do this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's what, it's one of those things where you just can't trust people at all. But no.

As a Jaws expert, I would really like any questions you have about Jaws, I bet I have the answer. I love this. So if you, anything you're curious about that you would like, that you're like, how did they do that? Okay, you're supposed to go for the eyes or you're supposed to go for the nose? I feel like I hear both. Oh, well, the nose

is like how you push it away you know you can just like a lot of people you have to be calm though you know like you know a lot of people can grab the nose and push it punching the nose is always good um the eyes and of course if you have a knife just go for the gills and then kill it but you know that's only if it's you versus them and that's you know it's not going to happen a shark's not going to attack you it's never going to have if i'm waste deep i'm waste deep at coney island how likely am i to get eaten by a shark three feet of water or more is uh is where you where sharks can travel, but you are... If you're waist deep in Coney Island and there's a shark,

it's not, you're not coming for you. I know there was a Rockaway Beach shark, but I don't think we had any Coney Island sharks, but you know what? That would be a fun movie because Coney Island is its own brand of chaos. Oh, yeah, the Russians versus the sharks. Yeah. Or the situation, yeah. But the Jersey Shore against the sharks.

I want to see. A jim rats. A shark drama is going to be so fun depending on the individual intricacies of each beach town. Yes. And Coney is just such a hot mess. Yeah, I mean, the biggest predator at Coney is all the broken glass. Whoa.

And on that note, it's time for the list. Oh. Who's on the list? Jackie, got to have that list. You got it. You did perfect. I fucked it. Don't change the thing.

You guys are doing a great job. Movie facts that are so surprising and interesting that you'll want to share them with everyone. Wow. That's Eddie's full of facts. Yes. so we're having facts on facts on facts before the devil wears Prada was even published. Fox 2000 snapped up the film rights in a preemptive deal after reading 100 pages and an outline.

The manuscript by Lauren Weisberger, a former assistant to Vogue editor Anna Wintor, was generating significant industry buzz. Studio execrae Carla Hacken recognized its cinematic potential and moved quickly to option it in 2003. tasked with writing was Aileen Brosh McKenna, who found it hard for anyone in the fashion world to talk to her because they feared being blackballed by Anna Wintor. According to McKenna, she did find someone whom she will never name, who spoke to her, and then read the script. After reading the script, they told her,

the people in this movie are too nice. No one in that world is too nice. They don't have to be, and they don't have time to be. So McKenna took the note and made everyone much busier and much meaner. Wow. But what about the costuming the devil wears Prada isn't just one of the most iconic fashion films of the 2000s? It's a landmark in fashion cinema as well.

Despite it being set in the fashion world, the film had a modest wardrobe budget of just $100,000, pushing legendary costume designer Patricia Field, who is best known for her work on sex in the city, to tap into her deep fashion rolodex. Field envisioned Andy Sachs as a Chanel girl and personally reached out to the fashion house leveraging her long-time relationship and sharing the script.

Chanel eagerly came on board, excited to see their designs on a younger character. The partnership, of course, famously led to Andy's iconic Chanel boots moment. What's the last time you saw Devil Wears Prada? I've never seen it. I don't know why. I guess I assumed because you're Disney that, like, it was in the world. I would watch it. I don't have a reason not to watch it.

It's just one of those movies I never got around to. But I know it's good. It's one of those. It was one of those that I didn't see at the world. the time for some reason probably. There was a long period of time in the 2000s when I just wasn't seeing movies in the theater because I was so broken. It wasn't.

And drinking was a higher priority than seeing movies. Yes. But so I was a few years late to Devil Wears Prada. When was Devil War Potter? Was it 2000s or 90s? I want to say it was 2009. Oh, wow. So it was more recent than I thought.

It was like, yeah, when we were like young in New York time. Oh, okay. And also I think at the time, 2006. And at the time also I was like, oh, I don't really care. Like this world is so. far from my world. I don't really care, but it is... It's technically just a subway right away. Yes. And it is... It's a fun...

It's a really fun movie. It's like, it's one of those that just like paints a picture of this world in a really, really fun way. You know what I like about movies like that and why I'm happy I haven't seen it yet is because I've gotten to a point in my life where I've seen almost every fucking movie that's ever existed. And I love that I still have movies from the early 2000s in the 90s that I haven't seen yet because I think I've seen every 90s action movie, which is a depressing thought because the other day I was like, I want to watch a 90s action movie. And then I look through a list of like over a hundred of them and I'm like, I've seen every one.

Hell yeah, dude. I'm out of 90s action movies. And it really like it hit me really hard that I was never going to see a new 90s action. Whoa. Do you feel accomplished though? No, I was going to say that's a huge extent. I wish I could erase some. There's got to be more out there, guys. There's bad ones.

There's like B movies I haven't seen for sure. But maybe there's some good, like, indie ones in the rough that you've never heard about. I know, but you've got to sift through a lot of crap to get to that. I want to take your sadness away, Eddie. And I want to put it in a hot air balloon. I want to explode it over. Bad Brazil? Yeah.

Let's not bring up hot air balloons this week. Oh, that's a bad time. It's a bad time. gruesome, gruesome hot air balloon accident. I think that's why I was thinking about hot air balloons. So I'm terrified to hot air balloons. I've I've ridden in the hot air balloon and it was

the most terrified experience of my life. Yeah, I don't want to do it. You were just in the sky in a basket. There's no one protecting you. Yes, hot air balloons are a menace to society. I'm parasailing I've done in the last like five years of my life and that really scared me. I didn't like that at all. When I did it as a kid

I found it to be relaxing. And I was scared me too. I did it in Key West. I did it in Key West. It was so... No, I was so scared. It was Julie and I on a boat with this old couple. They were very old. They were like pushing 80. And so we're in there and I'm just sitting there and they go first. I'm like, or they live, then, you know, obviously I can do this too.

And then the old guy gets down and I was like, so were you scared up there? It was like, ah, the last time I was on a parachute, they were shooting at me. And I was like, cool. That's an interesting perspective. Yeah, I guess I'd be a little different. Well, now I have to do it. Otherwise, I'm the pussy. Actually, speaking of, in my new world, I'm trying to get into because I really liked Andor and I really liked Rogue One.

But I had originally seen the original Star Wars, the trilogy. I had never seen them. I saw the first one or the first half of the first one in quarantine. Correct. Okay, cool. Yeah, the original. I'd only seen the first one. And I fell asleep.

and it was the beginning part of quarantine, so I think I was just in a weird headspace. But now I'm getting back into it. But after seeing a very rough cut of Star Wars A New Hope in 1977, directors like Francis Ford Coppola and Brian De Palma were skeptical, with Coppola saying that they were concerned

for George Lucas. Can I finish this fact? Because I know what it is. I bet you do. Because they had their crew. It was Spielberg, it was Scorsese, it was Brian De Palma, you know, George Lucas.

They all went to USC together, and they were all buddies and shit. And so he shows him the first cut of Star Wars and Brian DePama watches it. And he starts tearing it to shreds. He's like, who are these fucking robots in the desert? You know, what is this guy?

Who are these little fuckers? What are we doing over here? And so he's like, and so that's where they came up with the thing in the beginning with all the words. And where they tell ever the backstory at the beginning of the Star Wars. It's like, tell me what the hell's going on. I'm lost.

This is stupid. And then it'd save the whole franchise. And it's just now it's worth billions of dollars. And in fact, it actually even goes further. Apparently, the early version lacked any visual effects. So it had scenes of World War II dog fights as placeholders for the space fights. And it had no music. So added with that, everyone was just like, what the hell are you doing with this fucking movie, you crazy, dude?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I know that there's obviously lots of documentaries about the making, I'm assuming, of the original. trilogy of Star Wars. No, that's more than that. There's a whole series of shows. Getting into it. Like magic, yeah. Yeah, and just pulling it all apart.

And I feel like it's the kind of thing that it's a whole world that I'm just scratching at the surface of. But I'm really, I'm, I'm getting there. Take it easy. Don't get too deep because you'll just get disappointed. This is, yes. Yeah, that is exactly what I've heard. I've heard tale from my husband.

Stay away from solo, you know, just don't even do it. You know, there's some other. And you know what? I actually got a weird bone. to pick with Andor. How dare you, but go ahead. It's very good. I really enjoyed it.

But I feel like it could have just taken place in Nicaragua. It didn't seem like outer space to me. It just seemed like, but there's no space creatures. There's no space fighting. There is no spaceships. It is just like the first half of Jaws as an administrative municipal drama about various figureheads and city government fighting with each other.

Andor is a municipal city drama. It's a really good show. And I think it should have been that. It's a great show set in space. It is a municipal, you know, a drama slash uprising story set in space. And it has nothing to do. And it's a clear present danger. And that is why I loved Andor.

It was really good. And really, it got me in there. But you are right. It could have been almost anywhere. But that's why it was just a great story. Yes, it was. I haven't seen the second season. And then it makes you.

care about the space. Because then we went from Andor into Rogue One and I was like, I got to be honest, I don't care about the spaceship fights and I don't really care about the aliens. But I now have context for why I should care because I do care about politics. So it's like, you know, some of us need the political framework to care about all the pew, pew, pews, you know. You know what? There are many of us.

The most about Star Wars is they, there's no way to really like measure time, you know, because they're jumping from planet to planet. There's multiple suns. Like, what's a year when you're going from planet to planet? Like, it's got to change everywhere you are. Like, who's like, be there at eight? What are you talking about? It's like, what is the time?

You know, there is, so, how do you measure anything? And without cell phones. So I feel like it's just, and it's like you're in the middle of like, you know, your mock speed or whatever. And it's just like, how am I supposed to, what if I got to make a stop? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've also, one of my favorite Star Wars moments. So I did U.S.O. in Iraq years ago.

And I was like, I was in, I was there with a general. And like, I think Rogue One had just come out, actually. And we were sitting there. We're on like a bus going to another show. And the general is just like, you know what my problem is with Star Wars? He's like, who funds the rebels? Where are they getting their money? Like that was like, I was like, you know what, general?

You're right. You're right. Yeah. But again, and or does show us how they were able to. Yes, an army. Yes, it does. And it builds upon it. All right, last but not least, as part of her contract, this is just fun.

Glenn Close got to keep all of her Cruella DeVille costumes from 101 Dalmatians and 102 Dalmatians. However, according to Close, when Disney found out how expensive they were, they were very unhappy that it was in my contract. Disney then offered to create replica outfits for her to take instead. And she said, fuck no. I want to. The originals. Yeah, you've got the originals. Exactly.

You get your own damn replicas. She made sure to have that in her fucking contract. And go for her. Love to see it. Also, I mean, I didn't know she liked dog skin that much. Yeah, you know, only if it's made of real puppies. You're going to take the time to skin all those puppies. What do you want to go to waste?

Yeah, no. You can't have that in the wrong hands. No. And not to be this way, but while we're talking about, political art. 101 Dalmatians. I watched it with the kids recently. And it, I feel like it really holds up. It is a story about like all this mutual aid network of all the animals coming together to help the puppies escape through like an underground network of like stops where they are then taken care of, like received and taken care of by other animals all in solidarity against

Corolla DeVille. And I was like, hell yeah, this is a liberation story. You know, it's, no, yeah. It puts the hair in Harriet Tubman. Yay. Eddie. Eddie. She really, they called it the underground railroad,

but it could have been the, the tubway, if you asked me. You've been hanging on to that one for how long? Oh, that's been on TV. I've sold that show. Oh,

yeah. You just get to come back and visit every once in a while, you know? I actually shouldn't be telling it because I have technically sold it. Well, you know,

we're a lot. Ah, just a little bit. Yeah, we're just appreciating it here. Sprinkle it in. But MJ? Well, you're done with your list, huh, Jackie? Oh, yeah, I am. That's so interesting because I am struggling to see through the clouds and see through the fog.

Yeah, I mean, maybe it was Eddie's joke just now. Oh, yeah. I'm really having a hard time. In fact, I think I'm going. Blind! Oh, no! It's just yelling, oh, no. I'm sorry.

Eddie just yelling, oh, no. Oh, no. All right. So, Eddie, you know how it works. I'm going to give you a blind item and you are going to try to guess. And if I remember correctly, you did pretty well last time. I do all right with these. Unless it's someone super new. If it's new people, I don't get it. I think you'll be all right. We'll see. This one's just for you, though, Jackie. Oh, shit. Don't believe the hype. The ginger-haired one didn't overdose and was definitely not admitted to a hospital. It's pretty tough to overdose on pot, even with as much as he smokes.

Oh, Ari? Harry. Ari? Prince Harry. Wait, when? There are a bunch of rumors. He OD on weed? From June, like, from this, like, week in June that he owed, that he overdosed and was rushed to the hospital.

But they just said he didn't. The blind said he didn't. But the Ruma mill. Which Harry hates because we are reading Harry's book over at Celebrity, at our Patreon. And he despise. the British press. And here they are saying that he overdosed on weed, which we all, all of us stoners know, quote, unquote, that that's impossible. And I don't even know if it's really impossible, but that's what stoner's say. It would be, I'd be incredibly impressed.

Is it weird to say that if I found out he overdosed on weed, I'd actually start to like him? He does. And that's a good enough of drugs. There is one thing that you've learned from the book is that he definitely. He's the one that got caught naked in. with those pictures. Vegas. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Yeah. He loves drugs. And I know that there's like ways, aren't there like certain like toxicities or like I know that there's ways to be affected by it? I just. What is? It's not hypermesis gravidarium. That's the pregnant one. What is it?

Cannabis gravidarium. Something like that. You have a night. You can't stop pukin from weed, which is a nightmare because that's the opposite of what weed is supposed to do. Yes. But yes. We heard from some people in chat actually.

This is like a real thing. And apparently it's more common. now with edibles, like people are getting, having an adverse reaction, and then they, they got, they got puke. Cannabinoid hyperamesis syndrome, CHS. There we go. Yeah, we, we just saved my life, but every drug affects every person differently. Totally.

And so I think it's very important for people to know that. And everything is best in moderation. You can always have, you can always have more, you can never have less. Totally. And so if you're enjoying your marijuana and you're new at it, just take your time. Take your time. Don't get the infused stuff. Get the normal standard weed.

Totally. And then don't, yeah. And then start with like an indica, so you just go asleep and then work your way up to sativas and you'll be fine. And because stoners are... Cartoons in pizza are great. Stoners are famous for like confidently spewing scientific facts with no basis. And I feel like the number one is like you can't overdose on weed.

And it's like, but that doesn't like it's still, you should still keep it locked up. You can still get sick. You can still freak out. You can still have a bad time. You can still have, yeah. I think bipolar people, it's not great for them, to my knowledge. I'm having a fine time with it. I think it just depends on where I'll speak for my population when I say.

I mean, I'm doing fine. But it doesn't mean I'm not giving you a diagnosis or that you should if you're bipolar. But, you know. We had one buddy who would smoke weed. And every time he smoked weed, he would go missing for a couple days and turn into the Tasmanian devil. So I do, ever since I met him, I officially don't say everyone should smoke weed. No. Yeah.

Yeah. Yes. Some people, it really is, it's not a gateway drug like they told us in DARE, but it can be a gateway drug to other people who are about to have a real hard time in a different way. Yes. Yes. All right. Well, this person did not have a hard time.

This current A-list singer paid $2 million to get himself out of having to go on a mission. But because of the money, he will be credited for doing one. So basically he paid them off. Benson Boone. Yes, Queen. What do you mean? Where's he from? So Benson.

I mean, it's annoying. That's the only thing I know about him. Okay, yeah, with the flips, and he's trying to be Freddie Mercury. And it is... We talked about it last time on the show. Yes, ex-Morman. Yes, because he brought out the guy from Queen and nobody knew who he was. Yes.

Because he gave a bad intro. I think it's Benson's fault, to be honest with you, not the crowds. Agreed. Yes. Yes. Yeah, yeah. And it also is, you know, he treated like the, like he did all of that. And then it's like, but he flips. I, you know. I'm not a fan. He's a Mormon. And is he from Utah or is he just a Mormon?

I'm not sure. I see, I only have heard, and I'm only saying tale from chat that I thought that he was an ex-Morman. I have not, I'm going to be real with you. I mean, look that far into Benson Boone. He's from Washington. Yeah, he's only 22. So if he was an active Mormon, it would be his time that he'd be on his mission. but he paid off the church. Wow. Which is the least of their money. They're sitting on a huge nest egg of money and they don't like to give it up at all. So I'm glad he,

I'm glad he contributed to them. Yeah, like every Mormon family has to contribute and so does. All right. I want to see less, not Mormon. I want to see less men. Yes, yes, yes. All right, for a long time, this foreign born, former A-plus list actor

would make the women who wanted to sleep with him go through what he called a bathing ritual but also included a lot of satanic elements. He had a really bad breakup with an actress and she threatened to tell everyone about it so he stopped. This is a fun one. I would have never guessed.

Colin Farrell. No. Oh, that was a good guess. Oh, yeah, that was a great guess. Okay. That is a great guest. That is a great guest. Potanic.

Former A plus. Let me know if you need hints. Former A plus. I was surprised by the former A plus. I would still put him in a A category. Okay. And you said director? He is an actor.

Eulah McGregor. No. Hugh Grant. No, absolutely not. No. He's not a Satan guy. You never know. It's got to be someone who's done some weird shit.

When you're from... You said you didn't, you wouldn't have guessed this though, MJ. I wouldn't have guessed. Is it someone that is Satanic? Well, he looks, he doesn't look satanic on the outside. He looks like the opposite. He, when you're from a family this big, maybe you just get some Satanism. Donnie Osmond?

He's a nepo, but it's like a, it's like a nepo. It's like a family of nepo's that we just thirst over each and every one of them. No, not the ball ones. You got it. Yeah, which one is it, Bill? Which one? Bill? No, Frank.

Not Bill. Alex Keep name it Yes it is Alexander Scarscard I wish it was Bill Scarsguard Because I mean yeah Slam it on top baby Give me spooky bond spooky

I feel the same way about Alexander Scarsgarde He could do any satanic ritual to me But with consent obviously He shouldn't do it without consent But he apparently loves to do a satanic bathing ritual And I guess I said I would never guess it because he does look like such a clean and proper guy. Yeah, he's bathing them, MJ, and isn't that great? He does want to be clean.

Is he bathing them in blood? You know, or is it just a normal? I truly wish that there was more detail in this blood. It just has a bathing ritual that also included satanic elements. You know, I got to say, I don't think Satan takes showers. I'm pretty sure Satan baths. He's a bathman. You think so?

Oh, yeah, luxurious. Oh, yeah. Take your time. Yeah. Yeah, no, no one cares about an upside down cross in a shower. You know, you got to be sitting in a bath thinking about stuff. Oh, yeah. You know, and your shower, it's all business, you know, but in a bath, you can really contemplate evil. You're damn right. Damn right. You're right. Well, I can see again. You know who was it a fun Satanist was Jimmy Page. He was also a fun Satanist. He was a fun Satanist. That is fun. Hell yeah. Good for him, man. It was kind of a fake Satanist. He liked to pretend he was a Satanist to weed out people he didn't want to talk to. But it was a good, fun choice. I feel like that comes with the territory of being that type of musician, not to be a Satanist, but like I'm not so surprised by that.

No, no. And also, especially doing something and not wanting to explain it to other people and just being like, if you're not going to accept this, well, then you're not going to accept the rest of my life. So I'm just going to put this up as a boundary, and I get you, Jimmy Page. Yeah. But I'm sorry, before I start talking about getting pages,

I should be more concerned with getting. snacks. Whoa. Oh, no. It's Jackie's snack. Is what snacks we're going to eat today. And Eddie, we've got Eddie's nuts. Yeah, we've got Eddie's nuts over here because I brought in some limited dish of nuts for my boy Eddie. Are they called Eddie's nuts? No, I just, um, calling him Eddie's nuts. Oh, okay. But I will also say because I know that you are, um, which I appreciate particular about the brands of seltzer you usually ingest. And I will say I brought

a Kroger brand Seltzer of zero calorie but it is blue raspberry pop. It's like an ice pop. Okay. And it is, I've been obsessed with the liquid IV ice pops. Okay.

And, um, but that has too much sugar and salt and other stuff in it. So this is a good in between. Oh, nice. It's very light. Um, but I just wanted to bring that for you to try. You know, I am a Kroger stock. Hocholder.

Oh, good to know. Yeah. Do I, am I waiting for you? Cheers to that. No, you get up on in there because I've got some nuts to discuss. It's fine. You know, I like the Kroger brand just normal seltzer. You know, it's hard because you know that most cans are lined in plastic.

And, you know, and Waterloo is one of the actual few companies that don't line their cans in plastic. And so they have the least amount of microplastics in them. If you're going to drink a seltzer out of a can. That's good. Totally suggest a Waterloo. It's putting the plastic in your bowls. That's right. Everybody's got plastic in their balls, but are they plastic in these nuts? We're going to find out.

Now, Eddie, I brought in a couple of limited edition nuts for you to try. Okay. We've got the Mike's hot honey almonds. I also brought in, which we don't even have to try, because this didn't excite me as much. It's just a nut duo. What is that? That they got different kind of nuts hanging. Now, in a little nut part of here.

All of nuts come in a duo. Well, unless you've had one removed. You're right. You are correct. And this hopefully doesn't have as many plastics in it as most of the nuts we're talking about. But these are ranch-flavored almonds as well as buffalo-flavored cashews. Okay. But the one that I'm the most excited about are the cherry slushy almonds for some reason.

I'm sorry, excuse me, slurpy. It is name brand. These are cherry slurpy almonds. Okay. That I don't know why they made it, but apparently it was something that people craved. Wow. People, you know, they love a weird thing. Can I do the duos?

Yeah, please do the duos. Because the other ones seem like they're going to have a lot of sugar in them. Okay. Well, you're going to be, I mean, you're going to try a nut from each nut. Okay, but not too much. No, you're just, it's just a nut. The trader, Trader Joe has ranch cashews. in it too. But they're almonds.

They're ranching buffalo flavored. Why are they filled with sugar? This is what happens. They add sugar to everything. I thought nuts would be fine. Jackie was trying so hard to bring in something healthy for you, Eddie. I thought that these were going to be a good choice, but I chose poorly. Eddie, you don't have to eat the nuts. I'll try a little bit of them because it's, it's for, they didn't realize the whole pack is seven grams and it's like a full, the serving size is the entire pack. So I can have a couple nuts. All right, get a couple nuts in there.

Have a couple nuts. You're trying out the Mike's hot honey. I'm eating, yeah, this is a buffalo almond. It's fine. And then the cashew. I like the, uh... Oh, God. Oh, God.

I think I chose correctly. Yeah, the slurpy one, you knew, we all knew the slurpy one wasn't going to be good. No. You know? It was just adding a little bit of fruit flavor to an almond that's just dry. No, but they're just adding. I like putting chips. flavors on nuts.

Like the really spite, like they, the, the blue diamond has like salt and vinegar almonds

that are so fucking good. Trader Joe's has ranch, cashews. Yeah, put a chip flavor on a nut

and I'll eat it. That's fine. Put a chip flavor on a nut. But MJ. Yeah. Ooh. Everyone can snack

MG's Minid Monge's. Ooh. Say, if I can snack and Jemannies. I want to say thank you so much to the person

who wrote in saying that we should sing MJ's Minute Munchies to the tune of in a New York Minute. And I was sad because when I did originally sing that to M.J. earlier, MJ didn't know what song I was singing. I love Don Henley. I just wasn't, it wasn't at the top of my mind. So I completely understand. Summer is Don Henley time.

And I know there is the Boys of Summer Summer. But the entire catalog is Don Henley's summertime. Oh, hell yeah. Well, so I have been doing a tour of the Hot Chip. universe, Eddie. And coincidentally, since Jackie has the healthier nut option, I just happen to have seen the healthy hot chip option, which are the harvest snaps. If you have children, you almost certainly give the harvest snap crispy, crunchy snap peas to your kids. They're great. I like the harvest snap. I like the harvest snaps. These are the harvest snap baked lentil snacks.

And I got to say, I have tried other flavors and I did not think they were good. This is harvest snap baked red lentil snacks. crunchy loops, hot and spicy. This is for when you want a chip, but you feel like you got to have some protein with it. Got to get a little bit, get a little bit of pee in the hell. Hot and spicy lentil chips. Here we go.

Let's see what happens. All right, let's find out if it's worth it. Is it worth it? You said lentil chips? Yeah, baked lentil snacks. Oh. Yeah, they're all right. Yeah.

Of course you like it. I'll eat it. I'd rather have a potato chip, but I'll eat it. I mean, I'd rather have a fucking potato chip, but sometimes it's a little chip, and that's just how we got to get through the day. And baby, I will say, I hope I de-snack fluenced you from getting the slurpy almonds unless you like a flavor of fruit dust on your nut, and then that is the package for you. Yeah. And which I get it. We've all had it to our times.

And Eddie... The ranch and buffalo were good. You know, I can taste the sugar. They are sweet for some reason. They don't need to be sweet. They don't need to be sweet. They don't need to be sweet. And they're just adding shit.

And this is the problem. We have to look to the added sugars. MJ, think about the added sugars. I know. I'm sure it's one of those things that once you reduce the amount of added sugars in your life, you really are like, why is there so much sugar on this nut, you know? In everything. Absolutely everything.

It's why it's like people's like, oh, you're not really. eating bread that much anymore. It's like, no, it's just because it's filled with sugar. They just fucking slap a bunch of sugar. Anyway, Ed Larson, thank you so much for coming on to our Shark Week. We had a little miniature Shark Week here just to prime you for the future Shark Weeks that we will be experiencing. But I believe that's not until August. So you're welcome for having a little bit of a preview into Shark Week. Well, I'm coming back in August, apparently. So that'll be fun. Um, before we go, can I tell a quick, uh, like pop culture story that happened to me this week? Yes.

So I went to, uh, the Hollywood Bowl. I got this like package of four concerts of the Hollywood Bowl for a bunch of shows that they're not selling well, you know? Okay. And so they're like, like, like four shows for cheaper, you know, then, you know, and so I'm like, yeah, you know what? That sounds great. And the one show I didn't know what it was was, um, the one I went to last week,

which was Rianan and Giddens, who, after doing a little bit of, uh, research, I realized I already been a fan of hers. She had been part of the new basement tapes. Do you remember that album? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She was wonderful and that. She got beautiful, beautiful voice, incredible banjo player. Please listen to Rianne and Giddens. But, so the whole thing was, like, she did two sets, and in the middle, Steve Martin and his bluegrass band did a set. Oh, that was very cool. And Steve Martin comes out, and he's, like, unbelievable. He does a song with them, and they leave, and he kind of, like, sits there holding it. banjo and he does like straight up 10 minutes of gold like brought down the hollywood bowl like 10 minutes

joke rapid fire joke joke joke joke joke some of them i've heard before we're on his like netflix special with mark and short but i didn't care we're at the hollywood bowl do your jokes you know it was great then the whole night was hosted by ed helms from office yes yeah hangover fame and i have to say he was so bad as a host. Oh, no. I had never seen anything like it in my whole life. Really? He had no charisma.

And you've been to a lot of shows. Was it written for him or was he improvising? I think he written a couple things for up top, but he would come in between the acts and he would, you know, keep us going. I've seen Arsenio Hall always does it for jazz fest and stuff like that, you know. It's something I've seen comedians do a lot and it's always a lot of fun. But Ed Helms,

almost had no material. Wow. And like, as a comedian, if I ever had the opportunity to step foot on the Hollywood Bowl stage, I would be so prepared. And then, you know, especially watching Steve Martin and then watching him come on after Steve Martin

and the stage was doing that rotate thing. Yeah. Because there was another thing I'm behind. And it didn't start rotating fast enough. And he, like, completely shut down. He was just like, he was just like, oh, the stage should be moving. Um, okay.

But let's have a sing-along. You know, you're like, what are you doing? You don't got one fucking joke in your fucking, you're all your whole career. You don't got nothing. I was so insulted as a comedian. Yeah. Especially after seeing Steve Martin. And then I realized that is the exact difference between a comedian and an actor.

Like a comedian knows how to handle that shit. An actor, yes, he's very funny actor, but he's got no onstage charisma. He has no idea how to talk to a live audience. Wow. And it really showed. So I don't, I don't, you know, he took ending on a negative thing. I mean, I guess the positive is how great Re-Anne Giddens was and how great Steve Martin was. But I was just blown away by how.

And it's not like you're too famous for this stage to try hard because Steve Martin is there. Yeah, exactly. Because, you know, sometimes when a famous person is hosting, I feel like they won't try their best because they're like, I'm at Helms, what I have to do. But like, like, all love dead Helms. But you're not, you're not so famous that you can't, that you don't have to be funny. Like, you still have to be funny. He's kicking himself. There's no way he's walking away from this thing.

Being like, oh, good job. But it's, but it's like, if you bomb telling jokes, I don't care. I respect you. He didn't even tell jokes. And so I was just like, I couldn't believe it. As a performer, I was like in shell shock by how bad job he did as a host. And so it's disrespectful to everyone that is there to watch and be entertained. Yeah.

I was mind-blown that he decided that was the way to go. Wow. To show up to the Hollywood Bowl, that unprepared. Damn, dude. I'll tell you where you're not going to see that, though. And that is if you come to Dead Men Tell Some Tales. Ooh. A dark dive into Disney history.

I'm doing a show at the Elysian Theater, Jackie. Hell yeah. I booked it with my buddy Disney Dan Becker. Go check out his stuff. He's a Disney YouTuber. I've started to buddy up to Disney YouTubers a little bit. Great. And we're doing a show together.

It's called Dead Men Tell Some Tales. If you're out here, please come see it. It's going to be a blast.
