FOREVER! DOG! Supporters, go eat some avocado toast. And snowflakes, get melted. It's time for twisted cameos from pop culture figures like Brad Evans, Nick Cirelli, and yeah, Dr. Evil. This is Bill and Ted's excellent Halloween adventure on Hauntcast the Fright. Welcome to Hauntcast the Fright, a scary-th event that much like Universal's Halloween Horror Nights is spreading into November. Devilishly spreading past the month of October.

There, that's my justification of why we're still doing this past Halloween. Mike Carlson is here. Yeah, and it makes sense because all the other theme parks do past Halloween. They go a week past with horror nights they go i think with with knots goes like a week past so this makes sense it does that's why this is fine there we go uh jason shared and yeah i had written down like oh are we going to use that justification i totally forgot to talk about it before uh this recording of course so i'm glad we we just all silently agreed to that. That's exactly why. If the audience would like us to keep explaining the justification, we're more than happy to.

I don't think I said my own name, which is Scott Gairdner. And now I will say the names of our guests. But first, why they are here. It's a very specific reason. I mean, first of all, they're very, they're very funny, very prolific writers from the UCB theater in Los Angeles. But also they are two of the gentlemen who were brave enough to carry the torch, or perhaps the skewer in order to keep today's topic Bill and Ted's excellent Halloween adventure going even though it had been canceled by Universal Studios Hollywood. You guys did a reprise of it at the UCB Theater for a couple of years. And, yes, I'm talking about Brad Evans and Nick Cirelli.

Thanks for being here, guys. Hi. Thank you for having us. Absolutely. And thank you for your work carrying this franchise beyond its sad theme park demise. Yeah, without permission from Universal Studios or whoever owns the rights to the character. Yeah, whoever owns Bill and Ted. But they were parodying so many different properties.

You guys were just carrying on that torch of parodying something that you didn't have the rights to. That's really what, that's the spirit of the show is what I'm saying. Yeah, and carrying on the tradition of skirting legality issues in terms of intellectual property rights. Because it seemed like Universal was haunted, fittingly enough, by like lawsuit worries. Yeah, they were unable to use certain characters in the bill and ted halloween show because yeah i mean it should be covered by parody law i think that's really so that so i was wrong so there were like lawsuits i'm gonna learn so much today that's the real well that's what they're implying yeah about why you can't they couldn't take photos or video at

a certain point from the audience it seemed like there was a at a certain point from the audience. It seemed like there was a certain point where they were really cracking down on it. That maybe there was some sort of behind the scenes specific drama or something. Which was bad perhaps in the effort to not create PR hubbub which ended up

happening and ultimately killing off the show. Were they trying to keep all of the offensiveness hidden? Yeah, yeah. All the sick jokes that they made. What they should do is, and this is getting way ahead of ourselves, but if they do bring it back, they should just do what many popular stand-ups are doing now

and having you check your cell phone in a bag. There's a company that has a special bag. And we can do the Bill and Ted show. It's just that there will be no footage of it and you will not be allowed to speak about it yeah i think that makes sense yeah the bill and ted show is like a stand-up that got kicked out of the industry you just it happened it was the original me too this show was a me too four years before the movement began in earnest yeah they just talked to dave chappelle he'll give them the name of that bag company oh yeah it'll be fine oh man the next few years of marin are gonna evolve of like he's

gonna stop complaining about when they do the check drop and start complaining about when they do the cell phone drop when they return your cell phone bags to you oh is the way this is a merit this is a big marin i was gonna say what is the oh about comed a big Marin sticking point. Oh, about comedians complaining about comedy clubs like I'm still doing the act and they're passing out the checks for the check drop. Is this the kind of thing that he says in the first 10 minutes of WTF? Because if so,

I wouldn't know. It comes up on stand-up episodes, complaining about the check drop. I would know what the check drop is if you had said it i don't know oh okay well it's similar to how do you remember when we went to the pirates dinner adventure how we're trying to enjoy the pirate show and yet bills are landing and they're asking us if we which the type of the cake that we brought that we want served to us

right and it's confusing and we ended up with two desserts. And one of them stayed in my car, and Jason still wanted it after the fact, but I threw it away because it had been in the car. Let's not reopen Old Wounds. We might have a nice show. Think of those poor pirate dinner actors, though. They're trying to focus,

and the cake drop is what they... Yeah. On the Pirates exclusive uh podcast where they talk to past pirate guests and uh new pirate recruits from this season um boy let's get into the cake drop uh um hey but let's well here let's let's talk about this show i'm not even sure where to begin i mean like basic facts for any listener who doesn't know. Universal Studios does the event Halloween Horror Nights, and they were doing it in Florida in the beginning, but it evolved to become this grand celebration or, you know, I guess, you know, an anti-celebration of pop culture throughout

the year. And, you know, it went there. It was a little edgier than your typical theme park material. But I guess, okay, so was the show on your guys' radar pre-2013, or was it the article that got it as part of your fixation? I saw the 2008 Bill & Ted's excellent halloween adventure with friends when i was in college we went to halloween horror nights and i didn't give it a second thought afterwards i was just like well this this that was interesting yeah just the the tapestry of uh

theme park stuff i guess you don't you don't think about it yeah so then five years later it got canceled here in hollywood and i was i was sad that i didn't get to see it more than once maybe perhaps not realizing the degree to which it changed every year and that you couldn't just see just one that wouldn't give you the full spectrum like this was a 20 2008 is not similar at all to 2011 is not similar at all to 1994 yeah yeah i think we were watching some early ones on youtube a lot of videos of this bill and ted's excellent halloween adventure are on youtube uh in their entirety despite it saying no uh no recording is allowed yeah in a pre-bag era this this was possible but it seems like at

first it's like just general movie characters are coming in yeah it's just like the blues brothers are coming out and uh the Terminator came up frequently. Yeah, universal characters that were already associated with the park. Yeah. That's how it started more. Yeah, it's just... Yeah. And it seemed like there were a lot of, in the early days, like the DeLorean opens, but then it's not Doc Brown.

Yeah. The show seems obsessed in general with fake outs. Somebody arriving, you think it'll be, and then it is someone else. It's Mulder and Scully, like six years into the X-Files run. It's Mulder and Scully. They did it with Scooby-Doo. They have the mystery machine come out. Bill and Ted get out of the mystery machine.

And they're like, green smoke comes out of the machine. They're like, we ate too many Scooby snacks. Green smoke? Yeah. Yeah, you know what weed does? No, weed is green smoke. The weed color. The weed color green. I'm not doing the right stuff, apparently.

But, you know, not to jump around too much in time and the history of this, but kind of like you said, you saw it in 2008, didn't really register with you as anything good or bad. And then an article in Vice came out that sort of blew this whole thing wide open. I don't have the headline in front of me. It was by a writer, Jamie Tate. But it essentially alludes to that this show is extremely homophobic and racist and misogynist and all that. This article got a lot of attention, probably less people being upset about it and more like, really? That's what they do there?

And Universal had to issue a statement. People weren't happy with the statement. And then they, for that season, with a couple weeks to go canceled the show entirely and uh never to return in hollywood it kept going in orlando but kept going in orlando because the braying hordes of florida were just like more please um but uh yeah so so this sort of it got it got all this notoriety for that reason which then you know what probably in a couple years like 2015 you guys started doing this this ucb show and it sort of imagines what it would have been had they done it that year yeah if it kept coming yeah we were with our friends joe quazala and chris stevens and they played bill and ted there's

some very funny chicago yeah yeah we were just we were like at like a party uh like in spring of that year just talking about it and we were just kind of like oh it would be fun to just do that show and then like i think one of them emailed us and we were like hey should we actually do this and we did it wow wow and this was like no small feat this was essentially like a play that you wrote every year just to do one time just to do one with 30 people in the chaos like multiple characters yeah i remember yeah that's uh we would be up after the first year we were up after this ucb show ass cat and it had like the ucb founders were there and we just had like 60 people backstage who like we couldn't get to shut the fuck up and you could just hear them echoing into the theater

just disrupting like a comedy show that uh isn't just uh you know making fun of a deceased theme park show but yeah we did we did it for three years ours was called bill and ted spooky halloween spoof-tacular oh you had you amended it to make it a little more you've skewered the title yes that title's so you know it's it's right there it's right there for you we we spoofed the title that's one point i want to get across about the universal show i wouldn't say it's parodying or you know satire this is this these are spoofs. This is like... Yeah. It's very much like Scary Movie or Meet the Spartans. Like, it's that, but live. It is so much the Friedberg-Setzer school of comedy.

Where it's not... Where the parody is that a character shows up. That he's there is the... Like, we spoofedin powers by having him walk in people like yeah i'm wondering if that's why there were legal worries because it's like well there isn't really any parody there's no exploration of the ideas there's no connecting it to other ideas there was no commentary. The big thing with parody law.

I was just dealing with a boring issue where we couldn't show the concept art of a building in Saudi Arabia that will be the biggest building in the world. But we could show it if we said, like, it looks bad or it might collapse in the Saudi Arabian sand. That was a lawyer's suggestion. uh yeah so that makes it okay but we couldn't just show we couldn't show the building and say this is a building being built it had to be commented on in some way you had to yeah you had to parody yeah there's parody laws but there's no spoof laws yeah these studios are just begging for a take on austin powell they're just like what like like, you can do Austin Powers, but what do you have to say about this guy? What does it mean for our culture?

What is the definition of the word spoof? As opposed to parody? Is there actually a difference if I looked it up? I don't know. I'd be curious. It feels like it's a combination of two different words, but I don't think it is. In and of itself, it's an onomatopoeia in that

it is doing its own purpose right with by sounding so silly oh is it the is the word goof part of the word spoof yeah i think it's a way it's they are the word spoof is parodying the word goof we're already so far down the rabbit hole it's spooky or combined with goofing it's a spooky goof. Can we just say what would be a spoof? I would say all the Wayans Brothers movies are spoofs. The airplane movies are spoofs, I would say. Are Naked Guns spoofs?

I would consider those spoofs. Those are spoofs, but they're not parodies. But wasn't it also a parody of a disaster movie, like Airplane? Yeah, like Airport. Right. They're like... 77 through 79 or whatever. A spoof is just like a dumber parody. Like, it is just like a dumber parody of a thing.

I have a definition. Noun, a humorous imitation of something, typically a film or a particular genre of film, in which its characteristic features are exaggerated for comedic effect. So it sounds like Bill and Ted isn't even a spoof. You don't think so? Sounds like they don't exaggerate anything. They don't exaggerate so much. Yeah, true.

And Bill and Ted themselves kind of do what they did in the movie. I think there are spoof moments. Right. Because, for example, the real Lindsay Lohan would not do a big line of blow with a thundering echoing sucking sound and then say, Lindsay likey. Maybe I'm wrong, though. You might be wrong about that, though. Yeah, that might have come from a real story

from someone who knows Lindsay Lohan. That is a scene in The Canyons. The Canyons, sorry. Lindsay Lohan and James Dean. Who can forget The Cany That is a scene in The Canyons. The Canyons, sorry. Lindsay Lohan and James Dean. Who can forget The Canyons? Who can forget The Canyons? Yes, from Paul Schrader, from a very good director,

this odd porn movie. Yeah, I watched about five of these from YouTube, and it got to the point where watching the one from the year 2000, when the crocodile hunter shows up to save Britney Spears from being attacked by saber tooth,

I, at that point, it lowered my expectations so much. I wrote, this is at least a connection. Like this was at least connecting some disparate ideas. And then the rock shows up and beats up saber tooth the rock that would not obviously not the actual rock but uh just like when he shows up

at a real wrestling show the rock got a huge pop from the audience just from his music playing and the guy walking down the aisle and then a lot of these audiences seem confused that it's like not the real person maybe it's like tourists they're at hollywood but like yeah the guy walking down the aisle. A lot of these audiences seem confused that it's not the real person. Maybe it's tourists, they're at Hollywood, but the guy that comes out as The Rock, people go insane for him. Yeah, and Kiss shows up in a few of them, and there's a very funny one,

I think it's the same year, 2001, where a guy is commenting as he's videotaping, and he seems to be very horny, and he went, that's Kiss! Which, also, that may actually have been Kiss. It was like the fourth generation Kiss members. It could have been Kiss. I bet it's not Kiss.

I bet it's not Kiss, too. It's probably not. They need to show five times a night for weeks. Gene Simmons doesn't like to do stuff like that for free or little money that's true so yeah but it's possible it's some weird iteration where like it's all it's one of their cousins and then three hired guns yeah um i yeah i felt the same way of the one that i the only one i watched in full was 2007 so at the end you get an avril levine look-alike performing the song Girlfriend.

And I got the same feeling from the audience that they're like, she gets a cheer and like, is that Avril Lavigne? Wow. Which that being, like, if you believed the reality of this, like, in a way. What a show. Yeah. Avril Lavigne showed up to only sing the chorus of her song and then left. And also the real Gerard Butler from 300 showed up and said is and the real cheerleader from Heroes. That's a really bizarre thing of mine.

Maybe I think we probably all have our own to show and tell the fact fact that Heroes was prominently featured in 2007, inexplicable today. And one big runner was a guy walks out with big furry eyebrows. He looks like animals were pressed onto his face. And then it's like Mumble explained that's supposed to be one of the actors in Heroes who apparently had thick eyebrows. Oh, maybe the horned rimmed glasses guy? He didn't have glasses, though. Oh, he didn't have.

Oh, okay. Who was, is this a wild leap that I'm wrong about? Is Zachary Quinto in Heroes? Yeah, that was like his big break. I think that's who it is. I think they're saying he has big thick eyebrows. He's spoofing his eyebrows. The first thing I thought of was Peter Gallagher, but I don't think he was on Heroes.

I don't think he was. He was on the OC. He was on the OC, but he has very prominent eyebrows. But I don't think Quinto is. Unless they're thinking he wasn't Spock yet, right? No. But who has prominent eyebrows. He had a very specific look in that show.

Let me see how his eyebrows looked. They could have just been making fun of the general idea of eyebrows. He had a very specific look in that show. Let me see how his eyebrows looked. They could have just been making fun of the general idea of eyebrows. Maybe they were like 20 of 2007. What were the 2007 eyebrow trends? Because right now, thick brows are very on trend.

My mom, though, told me that I need to tweeze mine. This is true. She said they're too bushy. I don't think I agree. They seem fine. They seem normal from here. Everyone says normal. I am eyeing everyone's eyebrows.

I don't see anything weird going on. I think this is a lot of great sets of eyebrows. I guess Quinto has a lot of eyebrow. Yeah, that's a lot of eyebrows. That's pretty prominent. But that's a reach. It got a laugh. Everyone in the audience agreed. Oh, yeah we all know his big eyebrows was there a running joke on heroes

about his eyebrows no but but it is weird it is weird like just the thing going back and watching these bill and ted shows online the things that you're like was this even popular at the time i right heroes i think what but we it was heroes. It got fucked up by the writer's strike. Like, that was a show that got messed up by the writer's strike. Also, if anyone remembers, a couple years ago, Heroes came back for like 10 episodes. Oh, yeah. I remember this. With Henry Zebrowski from Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell, right? Oh, wow.

You was in? Yeah. Interesting. Well, man, Bill and Ted today could have spoofed the return of heroes but vice i guess doesn't want that that's too extreme for vice magazine yeah but these shows were all all excuse me only taking place at the horror nights yeah right at night when maybe people were looser they were a little drunker very drunk maybe i don't know the history of alcohol at universal hollywood some well someone told us there is limited alcohol at hollywood now and

that the orlando one is is much more tame with alcohol now oh but it used to be like a free-for-all yeah when my friend uh my friend and her family went uh when were in high school, and she said she was like 16, and her parents were just buying margaritas for them and one for her, and no one cared or paid attention. As opposed to you in Orlando got super carted to where you couldn't get. The woman at the Margaritaville margaritaville stand though was willing to look at the picture of my uh passport on my phone and give me a margarita she played ball so she played ball but the people at disney were making my friend buy me drinks

because uh uh when i went to orlando in march my driver's license was expired so there were many places who would not serve me alcohol, despite the fact that I'm a gray-haired 34-year-old man. With facial hair. With facial hair. And prominent brows. Way too bushy brows. Yeah, if you get those brows, you know, some work done on them,

you might not be able to go to booze anymore. I look too young. That's what my mom wants, though. Yeah, she's like, I don't want to drink it. With your hat now, with your Beastie Boy hat. I would love to come over one day and you had incredibly thin eyebrows. And you're like, I tried something new and I guess I just have to wait it out. I finally listened to mom.

Finally listened to mom. This is for you, mom. This is for you, mother. Mommy, mommy. Here's, okay, my overall, because I assume that what this will turn into is saying all of the things that we found that happened in the show. Which is a remarkable thing to do. Like, I just, like, copy and pasting sections from BillAndTed..org and thanks for passing that our way brad no problem these just just reading these synopses without affect is is insane but i i truly like i was starting to go through it year by year and then i broke i actually

i was doing it today and i'll save the moment when I broke. That's just a tease for later. But there was something I, you know, like, I guess I, I, I admittedly woke up this morning, not, not, not feeling great. A little like sleep hazy and, and teetering on, do I go back to bed? And then there was one thing I read that was like, I'm getting back in the bed. And I took a nap. I like this, these synopses

wore me out and in general Jason and I talked about this too that sometimes the research for these episodes is a pleasure something like star tours which we love so much like you know my wife and I at home we're like oh you know I need to watch more star tours stuff you want to watch while we eat dinner oh yeah totally and we watch specials and it's fun and i'll remember this this thing it came up i was like uh do you want to i need to watch bill and ted's stuff and she was like uh you know what no and i was like yeah i know no i'm sorry i asked i don't i can't i can't make you live with that in your own home i these things are so they're soucing. All of these shows. Aaron, did you take off your wedding ring after I

asked? Until this episode has passed, I don't want to associate with you. Me and Nick loved researching this one, but we're psychopaths. We built up a high tolerance. Insane. You are very good at curating this sort of trash.

I don't know how to describe the elements of our culture. You guys wrote a web series directed by our very own Scott Gerner called Death Valley Tween Fest, which is a very funny critique of the current YouTuber culture, social media culture. You can now watch. It is now available to watch on YouTube

and Facebook Watch. It's now a Facebook Watch series at facebook.com slash tweenfest. It doesn't matter where you see it. The show's so much funnier than all of the lame platforms it's on. If people send you a blank DVD, will you burn it and then send it back to them? Yeah, definitely.

Do bootleg. eBay sales of Queenfest. Before that show, you guys made me aware of a lot of the horrors. Because, yeah, it's a show kind of like, I kept describing it as like all of the worst components of 2016. Influencer, culture, all like get into a giant collision in the insufferable heat of the desert. And it's like there's so much horror you guys were aware of and too much even to fit into the show. What was the one thing? Oh, because a big Drew Tarver, the listeners might know from other podcasts and such, is very, very funny as a character who is a – wait, what's the term? A social experiment.

He's based off FouseyTube and Joey Salad. Like, see, these words. I recognize these words. But they're very... But your whole thing on our podcast is you're the one who's up on the current youth trail. You're the one who knows the most of the three of us. Yeah, and to me,

even I have my limits, but then when I do look at this stuff, you're right millions of views uh my one of my favorite things on on death valley tween fest is the dabble dudes which are a parody of the buzz former buzzfeed uh try guys yeah and now anytime i see the tri guys in like the trades or stuff i just go like do they mean the dabble dude and i'm like oh no the dabble dudes are the fake ones mixed it up in your brain they dabble in different things yeah uh yeah yeah they start dabbling and wearing high heels and stuff you know doing girl stuff and then it's uh and then and then it becomes you know getting lizard brains and uh

and uh what else happens yeah replacing their blood with the hot sauce their sweat glands yeah cannibalism yeah yeah check out tween fest by the way uh in in general i was gonna say at the end but it's also of notes for any theme park fans out there because i was very excited to get to work with john michael higgins who stars in the show who has done many wonderful things all the christopher guest films but to me will always be the guy who explains what's going to happen to you in test track i got to ask him about test track i feel like it's not my story to tell uh but I got to hear all the great behind-the-scenes test track scoops, and it was a blast. Yeah.

But yeah, we love garbage. I don't know. I just like to feel feelings, you know? I like good stuff and bad stuff. The okay stuff is the stuff I avoid. You do have very good taste, both of you. Oh, thank you. But then, conversely, you're also great at finding just these wonderful disasters

i think what's also like fascinating about the bill and ted show is that like the monotony of of every single year where it is like the exact same thing over and over again and like the same characters come back and like the it's the same sort of like beats that they follow that there is just some sort of just kind of like i don't know there's like a dread and just like having to watch the same thing over oh yeah well what are the what are the what are the components that do recur every year because your guys fictionalized show also had the same things but there's like the like the obvious all the references change but there's like the plot tent poles that are always the same yeah i mean

some of the things they do every year in the show we couldn't do because it would make our show too uh unwatchable but they basically they open every year with like a warning being like this show is naughty and get out of here if you're offended yeah yeah no photography and they're sexy dancers coming yeah if you don't like getting horny leave yeah if you don't like racism yeah they just put it all out there it's uh the original trigger warning yeah yeah it really was 2000 or something but yeah they start with the dance number they always end with a big dance number the dance and the dance number it's uh it's not comedy usually it's usually just a bunch of sexy uh buff men and women yeah it's like whatever like the sexiest men and women pop culture figures of sexy uh buff men and women yeah it's like whatever like the

sexiest men and women pop culture figures of that year come out and then they're they're dancing they dance for a while it's just a weird show because they they bring in they get you a horny and they make you laugh then they get you a horny again instead you lose the park it's bookended by these incredible by the end of the run of this, these dance numbers were incredibly long. Yeah. Yes, totally. Many, many songs. And that have bizarre, like, in the 2007 one, you just get a performance of Fight for Your Right to Party. Yes. You just get the full Beastie Boys song.

But it's three guys who come out in the intergalactic wardrobe, not the 80s Beastie Boys. So I guess that's the spoof component. What if we put them in different clothes that they also wore? Some of the costumes are good, and some of them are very bad. What's your favorite costume?

I don't know. It's all just a morass. Oh, I like the Mr. Burns. Oh, okay. Mr. Burns. Oh, okay. The nightmare Mr. Burns. Next level. Well, okay. Here, let's say this then. There is always one of the components every year is that there is a concerted villain,

perhaps multiple villains, but it seems like typically a primary alpha villain yeah and yes and and this could be uh uh yeah this could be a very scary character or it could be a a funny villain like uh the simpsons mr burns uh what let's here we can we can go all the all out of order what what what what happens in this mr burns year uh that's the the 2001 orlando that yeah mr burns is the villain it's uh the villain will always come out it will come out and say this big evil plan they have involving bill and ted show they're gonna like take over the world using the theme park show and using their using their time traveling uh phone booth against them yes they don't really it doesn't seem to be that they time travel no they don't use the weird

thing about the bill and ted halloween show is nothing halloween based happens at all and there's not too much bill and ted stuff aside from they host it and they have a phone booth yeah and then they say 69 like the one 69 so much that always comes back uh bill and ted introducing themselves like in the movies happens at the beginning of every show, and the audience cheers just at that. And I feel like your guys' show at UCB was good at pointing out that, does anyone remember these movies that well?

I feel like the sequel, the second one came out in 91, which was when this show started, right? Yeah, close to. And I feel like by 93 94 we had all kind of like checked out on bill and ted yeah right wayne and garth despite having come technically later than bill and ted he had a much bigger pop cultural footprint is a much more quality holds up film does not have uh yeah it does not have all the F words in it. And I don't mean F-U-C-K. I mean the other F word.

Yeah, much more endearing characters, Wayne and Garth, as opposed to Bill and Ted, who love to say gay slurs at the drop of a hat. Yeah, yeah. I would also just say, though, that it would be very weird if Wayne and Garth were hosting a Universal Horror Nights show in 2017 yeah weirder to you you think because it's a more

like guarded property it would be weirder I feel like yeah I think you're right but NBC Universal owns it every now and then there's stuff that shows up in this where it's like the ambiguously gay duo shows up and I'm like well that they don't have to, because they own it.

But then they're just, again, they're just, anytime a comedy person shows up, like they're just doing the lines that worked in the movie. Like when Shrek shows up, he like farts. Like that's it. Yeah, no, yeah. They just, it's like cover band stuff. Yeah, that's a good thing.

The scream, the killer from Scream goes, what's up? Which I'm pretty sure is right from Scary Movie. He has the same mask with the tongue out. It's Scary Movie killer guy. They took a thing from a spoof and did that. Yeah. I think it was already a parody. This stuff drives me insane. It honestly is kind of my, like, origin story of being a comedy writer.

Because I remember very specifically that I, like, there was some, like, class skit project in ninth grade. And I had worked hard on an original skit that did not, you know, that was about whatever we were doing in social studies and it did not go over terribly well but i was satisfied because it was original and then the most popular kid in school went up and said yeah baby and everyone in the classroom cheered and i like i i still remember it i remember the point of view I had in the classroom when it happened, how angry it made me. I still, things like this make me as angry today. Like, the idea that you don't have this rule, anyone who doesn't have this rule in their brain, you cannot do a comedy thing and get the laugh that someone else thought of. It's not allowed, but it's becoming allowed more and more

we're breaking norms as we are in washington in the comedy world norms are being broken as well and we need to stick with the norms yeah i try to coaching improv or sketch students i am anytime they're like there is an improv scene about improv or a sketch about comedy, I'm like, hey, okay, maybe don't do this. Yeah, because it just becomes the snake eating its own tail, and it's not fulfilling. Yeah, I mean, I really feel like the 2016 election broke everyone's brains, and now the mainstream comedy kind of is doing this Bill and Ted cover band comedy type of thing. Samantha Bee was singing Zendaya is Meachie last week.

SNL did Meet the Parents. Meet the Parents. Oh, yeah, the Robert Mueller, Meet the Parents. And you're getting the laugh off of Robertbert de niro saying you fucker like that you are taking your laugh from something a different comedy from 20 years ago not allowed not the norms yeah really yeah melissa mccarthy doing uh the matt foley character as an l40 it's just like this is what the bill and ted show is but with famous people and that's what mainstream comedy yeah and sometimes now scott i very much relate to that like that

like uh uh stress and anger of like trying to make an original it's like god this is draft eight of something it's like we've already the guy's got to fall down this way in this line the rhythm needs to be like that and then yeah someone goes out and and goes like uh yeah do i make you horny baby then people cheer in the streets i mean honestly i find this in a weird way i find when people get a laugh out of saying grab them by the pussy or dance around the phrase grab them by the pussy in a way, aren't they using Trump's writing? Aren't you in a weird way getting a laugh off of something he said to be funny

that obviously is very offensive and awful? But isn't that like, if all the joke you're doing is just saying grabbing by the pussy. It's just recognizing the reference. Yeah. Trump himself is, Trump in a weird way is like Austin Powers. him by the pussy it's just recognizing the reference yeah like trump himself is trump

in a weird way is like austin powers he's like a fake the big character yeah just happens to be marching around the real world um or like cofefe well cofefe i guess was an accident on his part maybe we'll never we'll never know with his mysterious follow-up tweet. Yeah, I know. We have the same gene of this making our heads explode. And your guys' show, when you would do it at UCB, there was a level of, there was more commentary. There was more self-awareness and irony to it, which I was saying to you guys last night.

These Bill and Ted shows show if they had just been a little a little more irony a little more self-awareness it would have just been a ucb variety like show yeah it would have just and brad you had said like these are at least consistent like these are consistent yeah and they're they're very short they're very fast-paced there's a more satisfying show than a lot of live comedy shows i've seen in los angeles yeah uh one of my favorite things in i think it was in the 2016 one uh uh or maybe it was 2017 but i forget whether it was bill and ted just turns to the audience after some disaster thing of the year and just went our culture is good and must be preserved and like I think about that all the time

all the time especially like yeah with the broken brain comedy which is like comedians like referring to like I don't call him Donald Trump I call him 45 and I'm like oh shoot me in the fucking head or other here without name checking anything

there are John Oliver does the Drumpf that he calls Trump Drumpf. Yes. There's other comedy that uses Drumpf as a joke, but you didn't think of that. John Oliver Show thought of that. Drumpf is not up for grabs. You don't get to build on the joke of Drumpf. This is the highest horse we could be on. is not up for grabs. You don't get to build on the joke of drumps.

This is the highest horse we could be on. But I feel I'm so happy to vent about all of these things. And look, by getting into this area of spoofs and goofs, we get to we're getting to air these grievances. So Bill and Ted's doing us a real service.

Here's the thing. The single router model just doesn't work for our increasingly high-bandwidth world.

It's simple physics, like light waves, Wi-Fi waves don't go through walls well. Imagine asking a light bulb in your living room to light your master bedroom. It's simple physics, like light waves, Wi-Fi waves don't go through walls well. Imagine asking a light bulb in your living room to light your master bedroom. It would be crazy. What you need is a distributed system. This is what offices have had for years, a considerable work and expense. With Eero, you can install an enterprise-grade Wi-Fi system in your home in just a few minutes. Simply download the Eero app on your iOS or Android devices, and it'll walk you through each step of the process. It's quick, easy, and painless. Current Wi-Fi routers are really tough to manage and optimize.

The Eero app lets you manage your network from the palm of your hand, so you know how many devices are connected at any given point, as well as the internet speed that you're getting from your service provider. You can also easily create and share a guest network. Eero is protected with state-of-the-art WPA2 encryption, and because it controls the hardware and the software for your entire network, it ensures that you're always secure. Since traditional routers don't push software updates to their customers, they are less vulnerable to cyber attacks. Eero updates automatically so that you not only have the latest features, but the latest security at all times. Eero has incredible customer support.

And let me reiterate, this is very easy to set up. I was concerned I was not going to be able to do this. I did it in like less than 15 minutes. So incredibly simple. Michael can do it. Okay. Never think about Wi-Fi again. Get $100 off the Eero base unit and two beacons package and one year of Eero. Plus, visit Eero.com slash theme park and at checkout, add theme park.

You're going to be very happy. Um, okay. Where do we... Okay, I mean, we could start anywhere. We could throw a dart. But as i said a while ago have as a case study what is the what happened with mr burns oh yes yes this is the 2000 orlando show okay oh i have my own synopsis which i can follow along okay i still still like

not totally crazy but like by not 2017 2016 ones of just super... There at least is an attempt at a through line, and all the ones pre-9-11 seem so wholesome nowadays. Yeah, it's very nice going back and watching them. Yeah. They didn't get too horny until years later. The characters are gay. Much like how our country passed a point of no return after 9-11

so did the bill and ted show in a way i mean yeah i mean yeah so it's mr burns and this guy just has this freakish rubber mask of mr burns but it only covers half his face and then his i i don't mean to like insult the theme park actor that played mr burns in the 2000 bill and ted show but like he doesn't do a great mr burns voice that's a hard voice to do was it ted cruz yeah it might have been ted cruz sorry ted cruz played a lot of simpsons characters in a buzzfeed video i sometimes i refer to this as if people know it but often people don't but look up ted cruz does simpsons voices amazing piece of work yeah i mean i have a note just of all the... I just wrote down all the people that are standing on stage with Bill and Ted by the

end of the 2000 show. Oh, please. Let's hear it. It's a real... It's a real just clusterfuck. It's Bill and Ted, which, like, why are they on stage in 2000? But they're with Big Mama, Shaft, the Charlie's Angels, Mr. Burns, Smithers, Karen and Jack from Will and Grace, Ethan Hunt, Storm and Mystique from X-Men, and the Crocodile Hunter who never stops talking about how he likes to smear poop on himself. Yeah.

Huh? What's that about? I don't know. Is that like something like maybe there was an episode where he had to put like some animal feces on himself? To like cover his tracks or something? There is also a point at the end of the show where Elion Gonzalez... Yeah, I have Elion written down in all caps.

He transforms into Enrique Iglesias and takes off his shirt and dances. There's a runner in the show. Janet Reno is chasing Elion Gonzalez across the stage repeatedly with a big dog catcher net. Yeah. Trying to get him, and this just happens throughout just the i want to say a lot of these synopses thankfully

are provided and kept up by bill and ted.org it's a great resource yes a non-profit website an organism under the under the halloween section of it yeah there's a lot of donate to bill and ted.org patreon for bill and ted.org um but the the way these synopses are written there's something about where they don't put a lot of like english on it and i think it's wonderful like the the way like what you just described it was is described by their synopses writer and as such van halen's running with the devil plays and jan and Janet Reno comes out of the phone booth with a net in her hands. Alien Gonzalez runs out to get away from her and they chase about. Then after that, characters who were apparently not on stage by the end, Britney Spears and Lil Kim have a dance off that ends when Britney snatches Lil' Kim's wig off.

Then Britney is attacked by the villain wrestler Kevin Nash from the WWF. The Rock comes out to her rescue. What year was this again? Why is Kevin Nash? I think it was Sabretooth, but he looks like Kevin Nash. So someone misidentified Kevin Nash as, or Sabretooth as Kevin Nash? Wait, did Kevin Nash play Sabretooth in the movie? No, that was Tyler Main.

Oh, excuse me. Rest in peace, Tyler Main. Runningbillandted.org is probably a very hard job. Let's just give the benefit of the doubt to the person describing these. Kevin Nash is in Magic Mike, and he played Super Shredder. Really? Oh, well. Damn, then that's an indelible performance.

I do love Super Shredder. Very good performance, Super Shredder. oh well then that's a indelible performance i do love super twitter uh the by the way if you're curious about what mr burns's plan is uh mr burns has invented a pocket rocket that he has used to steal and store today's pop superstars so like on a drive and there seems to be a part later where he downloads characters onto the stage. So they're dealing... Yeah, so using Kidnapster. Kidnapster.com. He's going to sell the pop stars themselves.

That's pretty good. Kidnapster. That's not bad. Very pro-Lars Ehrlich. No, yeah, as far as the Bill and Ted show goes, Kidnapster is closer to a joke than this celebrity comes out and does their thing like are we discovering that the show got worse as time went on it got hornier yeah i think it got worse i get there i i guess at the

i feel like the earlier versions of it were old or like they were strictly kind of like the universal properties of just like we have the blues brothers come out and then terminator comes out and then like at some point they were like hey let's get a little uh risky and throw in some of these other characters so maybe it was just kind of like a accumulation of just too many characters and too much shit i think the internet made our culture bad and have too many things like it used to be you could in 2000 summing up all the things with Bill and Ted, you could just do it in an hour. Oh, yeah.

We all know the popular things, but then it's like, we saw one with the hide your kid, hide your wife guy. Oh, yeah. The news guy, yeah. Once like, and it got like a huge response in the show,

but like once memes come into it, once they start using just like people from commercials, just do it. Like once they doing like william shatner is the price line negotiator who becomes like a main character in one of them he is like he comes in like halfway through like like the 2000s something something one uh and you know that was considered like a primary piece of pop culture at the time. Yeah. Like for like, that does,

that's crazy that that is in there, but it is better than like stuff like in the 2005 one where they have the Dukes of hazard and from, cause it was a movie and there's no way anyone cared about that movie. People probably did care about the price line man more than the Dukes of hazard. That's true. He's way more popular. So I think they write the show in advance, is why

sometimes you get... Yeah, they're predicting, sort of like, oh, this will be a big deal. Yeah, we saw one where it's like it opens on the family from the Vacation reboot, and they're like, hi, we're here. Look at... And it's like the audience truly does not follow. Yeah. I didn't see that. How would you

represent them? The kids are just like two guys. But they had a son and a daughter you represent them? The kids are just two guys. But they had a son and a daughter in the Vacation reboot. It's two boys. But in the live show, it was a son and a daughter? Yeah. They didn't even see it. Huh.

And possibly written in advance to where... And they'd already cast the daughter. Yeah. What a funny thing also with Vacation is like, you know how we're going to reinvent the wheel? Take one of the primary female characters away. Yeah. It's a problem. We have a list of insane characters.

We saw a crowd watching ten of these shows. Let's hear it. Stripperella. Stanley Stripperella from the short-lived Spike TV cartoon. Wow, from Spike TV's short-lived adult entertainment block. Yeah. With Ren and Stimpy's party cartoon. That entertainment block with Ren and Stimpy's party cartoon that got off of Ren and Stimpy.

Oh, when they did that again? When they knew Ren and Stimpy? John Kay was back. There was G-Girl from My Super Ex-Girlfriend. Uma Thurman's character G-Girl from My Super Ex-Girlfriend. Luke Wilson's

Letter Day I've Enrected. What? God. Jet Li's character, Hua Sing Ku from Lethal Weapon 4. What? One of the best ones is Russell Brand's Arthur.

He opens the show. In 2011 it opens on Melissa McCarthy from Bridesmaids hosting it with Russell Brands Arthur no yeah and talking to the audience as being like oh yeah we're all here to help you all know who I am

we're here to have some fun yeah the sucker punch girls wow yeah they maybe do a sexy dance they're the sexy dance girls that year um the prince of persia yeah the prince of persia yep yeah yeah i feel like they're the only reason prince of persia registers with me at all is because i was working on a like disney digital branded campaign when it came otherwise i would not remember that movie at all like i bet there's listeners who don't remember i think uh prince of persia is like the incentive for like what like the time

travel element of that year is where he's like i have my dagger which can make us go back in time so it is just like this thing no one remembers so if something has a time travel component it could get bumped up into primary pop culture feature even though they have the phone booth I assume one of the years must have had Balthazar, Nicolas Cage's Sorcerer from The Sorcerer's Apprentice

that type of thing yeah the mystery men were in it prominently one year and they kind of take over the show midway through, we think it might have been like a backdoor pilot type of thing. Like, hey, it's 1999. These kids don't know Bill and Ted so good. What if the Mystery Men start hosting Halloween adventures at Universal?

Oh, and if it's still to this day was the Mystery Men spooky Halloween. I loved Mystery Men. When it came out in the movies, I was like on board for that. I was excited for it, and I thought the movie delivered. I liked Mystery Man. I was a 10-year-old kid. We all know what song came from Mystery Man. Yeah, All-Star.

All-Star. I think people get their wires crossed and think that that came from Shrek. Right, but Shrek is I'm a Believer, the cover of the monkey song by Neil Diamond, of course. Yes, true. For me, All-Star, I really really identify with rat race i don't know oh yeah it was in a lot of movies yeah um a slea stack from land of the lost is probably featured in one of them uh john dillinger from public enemies johnny depp's character the gangster john dillinger who also is real yes he's real this is the character

huh um i mean the the love guru is in one and he enters to the austin powers theme song and does dr evil zip it thing he said he says they're like people don't know the love guru catchphrases let's just have our dr evil impersonator i mean the dr evil is the villain of the bill and ted show more than any more than bin laden more than, more than the Terminator, more than Mr. Burns. Yeah, Dr. Evil shows up in the final one, in the 2017 one, and the audience is perplexed why Dr. Evil is there. I personally think Dr. Evil should have been the villain every year. They had a guy who did a really good Dr. Evil down in Orlando,

and the crowd loved watching it. Yeah. That, also, if we're going to backdoor pilot, if they were going to do a spoof show, maybe from here on out, it's Dr. Evil's lair of Halloween madness or whatever. Yes. I also think post-2012,

there should have been a Gangnam Style sequence every year. Every single year. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Totally agreed. And I'm surprised when there was not. Also, by the way, if Dr. Evil hosted it every year, then when those

bags are passed out to put your cell phones in, he could encourage everyone to zip it. That's great. I hope the Universal Park people are listening to this. I hope the bad company is. We can make them realize how much easier all the safety rules will be just by putting Dr. Evil in.

At the very least, it's bad company having Dr. Evil be their spokesperson. Oh, the 2010 show in Hollywood, Ari Gold from Entourage is the villain. Whoa, really? I like that he bought the bill and ted show and he's changing it up and he's like bill and ted are not relevant in 2010 so he replaces bill with justin bieber uh who keeps getting mistaken for a woman and loves sugary cereal for some reason he's a child and then he replaced the joke he's a little boy yeah and then he replaced ted with snooki in this situation. Two people, yeah.

Yeah, I can't have just one. Snooki, I feel like, and we'll do a full episode on the Disney California Adventure Aladdin show that I was obsessed with. He said a very clean version of a lot of this stuff. But Snooki was in that show. I mean, not a character, but would be referenced almost every show I saw of the Disney's California for years. The genie would say something and he would turn to the audience and just be like, Snooki. It wasn't even a joke.

He would just say a line from Aladdin and then look at you and go, Snooki, and it killed the audience's love boy. Wow. Was Snooki played by a gentleman? No, Snooki was a woman, but she was drunk or horny or something. Very rambunctious.

Don't worry, they spoofed her. They got her how drunk she was. Yeah, we should say women don't fare well in these shows. Wreck-It Ralph punching someone. There's a lot of that, I feel like.

Or dummies being tossed from the rafters of like yeah it's britney spears oh no get her out of there and then they just toss a dummy down or something yeah well in general the i think like looking back probably a lot of pop culture has regrets about that the way britney was treated uh in the so-called crazy Britney era, which is what they call her exclusively in the 2007 show. There's a silhouette that you think is going to be Dr. Evil, but then when she steps into the light, it is Britney Spears with a shaved head. It's dark.

I do feel like today people would ease off a little, let a person who's under an immense amount of pressure, you know, go through a bad time. Why is this so insane that she would, like, be upset and shave her head? Like, oh, madness that she would shave her head. It's her head. In general, that one's pretty crazy. As I mentioned, the Lindsay Lohan, I like blow section is really odd. And Paris Hilton had just been to jail and she gets it pretty hard.

But then in the 2013 one, the one pre-cancellation, there is this bizarre thing where Wreck-It Ralph. First of all, again, Wreck-It Ralph is in the show. Let's not glaze over that. But Wreck-It Ralph punches Nicki Minaj and Amanda Bynes, another person suffering from... Having a breakdown. Yeah, yeah.

Female mental illness is really taken to task in these shows. It's getting spoofed real well by Bill and Ted. This year, since Wreck-It Ralph is coming back, Wreck-It Ralph would punch out all the characters in The Handmaid's Tale. That's the 2018 show. The audience loves it.

Hooray! There's like a real, I think there's this real hatred for anything that's for teenagers or any pops. There's a real, like, Justin Bieber is for babies. We hate Rebecca Black and kylo ren sucks it's like this weird like like aggro like what like a college person a college male's opinions would be or whatever yeah just like a 40 year old white man and like it is just like from the perspective of like the people that are writing kylo ren is a hipster who drinks cold brew yeah yeah got him got him i wrote this, John.

This is the, they went after Rebecca Black pretty hard in 2011. Rebecca Black, she gets pushed out in like a tiny car and then she gets killed by Mr. Chow

from The Hangover and then everybody dances to Sexy and I Know It with Osama Bin Laden and then Thor gives Medea a lap dance. It's kind of just like the perfect synthesis

of what this show is and just the insane heights of just like jamming things together so osama a lot of reminds me like i made sure to watch the 2001 one because i figured like oh god people would have been watching this like right in the aftermath yeah september 11th and i was thinking like what what would they have slipped in like did they change that was her very heavy-handed patriotism and the two things that stuck out to me uh were one jay and silent bob are in it a lot yeah because that was the year jay and silent bob strike back swept to the multiplexes in the summer of 2001 and. Those seem like the perfect characters to still be hosting a theme park. Yes, definitely.

Yeah, actually. That's a better idea, strangely. And in this one also, I hope I'm not jumping on you here, Jason, but they appear at the beginning of the show and throughout, it seems like, but then also separately Bluntman. And Chronic. Oh, and Chronic as well. Okay, I'm glad there's both of them. No, I'm assuming it would be weird to have just Bluntman. And Chronic? Oh, and Chronic as well. Okay, I'm glad there's both of them.

No, I'm assuming it would be weird to have just Bluntman. As far as I know, unless the description is wrong, it is only Bluntman. That's outrageous. Bluntman is the more famous of the two characters. Is Bluntman more famous than Chronic, you feel? I do. 100%. Bluntman's like Batman.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Chronic's a sidekick. Chronic isn't really like Robin. Which character is Bluntman? Kevin%. Bluntman's like Batman. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cronk's a sidekick. Cronk isn't really like Robin. Which character is Bluntman? Kevin is Bluntman. So there's two Kevin Smith characters in this show, but not two Jason Muses. Yes, that's... Great.

Chart that. And also Cornelius from Planet of the Apes, and then the synopsis just calls it one of the good apes from Planet of the Apes. Oh, yeah. But also Charlton Heston from Planet of the Apes, but he's got a little sash that says NRA on it, like Baby New Year. He looks like Baby New Year, but his sash says NRA

and he's just doing Planet of the Apes lines. And he also then Marky Mark Wahlberg is represented. They make fun of him for being Marky Mark and Heston gives him shit for playing his old character badly and in fact Heston goes so far as to tell

Marky Mark to eat his shorts. Wow. In 2001. In 2001. Post 9-11 you gotta remember everybody was punchy telling each other to eat their shorts yeah what else about patriots oh so uh of course if you're gonna have silent bob there he's gotta talk at some point and his thing that he talks at one point is how he's proud to be a patriot and an american oh my god it's a fun monologue about being an american and then the other thing that happens that really stuck out because it is very long

is at the end uh there is a long sequence where they play the hendrix star spangled banner which i know which i i mean mean, it's pretty recognizable, but also the person holding the video camera, who 2001, the video online is great because this is one of our favorite things, like in the bare metal family in the Hard Rock Park, where the guy is clearly entranced by the sexy ladies. This features a guy videotapinging it but also commenting to his friend

like oh boy i didn't know this was gonna be like that like he sounds like a sketch comedy like person wrote a comedy sketch and the only detail for a character is like working class joe and he talks like he's kind of from Brooklyn or somewhere. And he's just going like every now and then. He goes like, oh, no, I'm a married man. Like he's just saying shit like that. But he goes, oh, Hendrix Star Spangled Banner. He says something like that, and I think this is one of the ones

where people in Kiss makeup shows up, and he also makes sure to acknowledge, like, that's Kiss. Like, he's so jazzed. He's so excited. Kiss is here. Take that, Al-Qaeda. And then at the very end, he goes like, I knew this was going to be good.

Like, I told you we should. I'm glad we came. I'm glad we did this. Whoa. I think I can safely say he speaks for the whole audience. Yeah. He speaks for the whole country. He speaks for them. That's why this ran so long. They all

think that. They all are like, wow, Kiss is here. Wow, I'm married. I shouldn't have sex with those women. They're thinking these thoughts, and they're like, wow, that was great. Can I talk a little about 2002? Because this is where, 2002 is where my brain shattered. Is Osama Bin Laden in this?

No, still not. Osama Bin Laden's got to be the bad guy in one of these, right? Osama Bin Laden's gotta be the bad guy. Osama and Saddam are the bad guys in 2003. We'll get into that after. We'll go in order. This is what I rely on you guys for because I stop. I was like, I assume they will do it. I can't do this anymore and I will tell you where I

stop. And you can see like my paragraphs were very long and then it just stops after three lines in 2002 because here's just highlights. The Osbournes come out. They're interrupted by Dr. Evil. Par for the course, Dr. Evil's back. And then, you know, Serlina shows up.

Of course, the villainess of Men in Black 2. Come on! You've got to have Lara Flynn Boyle's Serlina. You should know that, Jason. That's from your favorite song, Black Suits Come and Not Yet. Serlina does not make a huge appearance in the Black Suits Come and Not Yet music video.

It's the only reason I know the name. So there's this chick, Serlina, right? She be tripping like... That's the only reason I know the name Serlina. Okay, fair. But so, Serlina, and then the men in black are also there, and they receive a transmission from the ultimate supreme being who turns out to be Triumph the Insult comic dog.

And then I melt. Then I went, I left, and I got in bed. I could not handle any more stolen characters from legitimate comedy enterprises what do you mean triumph and i assume for i don't know if anyone else has 2002 in front of you i just was staring at a paragraph that was much more of the same and like you know what i will wait i'll do it on the day they can tell me that uh you know uh like jimmy fall's Nick Burns, the computer guy, comes out and fixes the lighting grid. No more. No more of this.

One thing that's interesting to me is that just because of what was popular at pop culture in the time, sometimes characters will show up who down the line end up in the Universal Parks. Like Mr. Burns end up in the universal parks like mr burns shows up in 2000 but the simpsons ride doesn't come along till 2008 a transformer shows up at some point well before the ride harry pothead uh the harry potter takeoff shows up long before i was surprised what year he showed up in because i feel like it was

pre the movies do you think they're testing the waters for the characters to see how big the pop is and that if the character gets a great response at the horror night show that maybe they'll put the ride in possible maybe the dukes of hazard ride was a possibility if they had gotten a bigger pop when they did the show i mean The Rock killed and now he's in the Tramp Tour. Oh, that's true. But if Nacho Libre had done better when he came out, a real thing that happened,

maybe there would have been a Nacho Libre ride. That's true, yes. Or if Anna Nicole Smith had gotten a bigger reaction, there would be an Anna Nicole Smith ride. Or you could meet that designer of hers or whatever is to shoot there was a guy oh yeah name I just know that a lawyer Howard K

Stern that he would have been a robot on the ride with the baby oh oh judge Larry yeah Larry Seidlin from the animal why am I just saying things on this episode that's just like Bill and Ted the Bill and Ted spirit has got you caught up in it. I'm just listing things like the show. This episode, we are doing it.

This episode is a big list and I can only assume very trying on the audience. Or people have screamed as we've said each reference. And I'd encourage you to at home. Just next time a character has said, just try giving a big yell. I think you'll have fun.

You made a reference like Paula Deen getting punched by Django and Dr. Schultz. I'll leave space for a scream. Go ahead and scream at home. Hooray. Wait, by who? Dr. Schultz.

Christoph Waltz's character who helps Django. They use those characters in the Bill and Ted show? Yes. And then they punch Paula Deen because she was racist. Oh.

Can I say, Garfield repeatedly gets mad about being mistaken for Puss in Boots, so he pisses on the Wicked Witch of the West and she melts from cat piss. Then George W. Bush

punches Dr. Evil and says, don't mess with Texas. This is from the 2004 show. Everyone was like, how is Bill and Ted? The election years are very fun. And their take in 2004 on Bush and Kerry is, what if Dr. Evil ran for president? This is two years after any Austin Powers movie was made.

And his vice presidential candidate is mr burns and he assembles his cabinet and this is the best one oh yeah if you're at home please look up the 2004 orlando miss billet head show because it's uh dr evil is the villain and yeah his cabinet is mr burns the wicked witch of the west and uh and uh who uh michael jackson is the secretary of child services he carries harry potter off stage uh to like have sex with him at some point and then uh dangle him off a balcony and darth vader he has darth vader kidnapped bush and carry but the whole show it's like this rogues gallery of all these cartoony but you're watching the wicked witch the west and darth Darth Vader run around and be like,

Why The Wicked Witch then? Because there's Wicked Witches in other years, but when was that Franco one? That was in many years later, yeah. So why in 2004 is The Wicked Witch? Because it's such a... Oh, Wicked? Maybe? Dr. Evil's so evil.

He's got to get all the evil. He's got to get all those bad guys. There's no reason for Vader to be in He's gotta get all the evil He's gotta get all those bad guys There's no reason for Vader to be in it He got all the worst people, Michael Jackson, the Wicked Witch of the West They had to step it up There are other ones like that, like in the early years It does seem like the thing is combining all the villains I made just a pure list

As you did earlier, Brad At one point On the stage at the same time, I believe Kirk, Picard, not evil, but then we get evil. The Borg Queen. Ripley, not evil. Men in Black, not evil. The Terminator. Darth Vader. Poison Ivy.

And Mr. Freeze. All at the same time. And then... We're going to be all over the map. Take you to 1997 really fast. A couple good things here um the uh the back to the future theme starts and the delorean appears but then it's not doc and marty that get out it's the cast of seinfeld

seinfeld says now this is a show about nothing Then Bill's cell phone rings and it's the villain from Scream who appears in his hood and mask. Then he throws off the disguise to reveal he is actually Austin Powers. Then the men in black interrupt and perform their song. Then Elaine from Seinfeld butts in and starts singing Wannabe by the Spice Girls. Elaine does this, along with the Borg Queen and Batgirl. Then the Bill and Ted's band, Wild Stallions, who we should say factor in a fair amount. That's the right name, right? With all Ys.

Wild Stallions. Yes, because they constantly say it during the show. And there's a giant Wild Stallions. Yes, because they constantly say it during the show and there's a giant Wild Stallions logo on stage sometimes. And it took me about three viewings, like three years watching to go like,

what the fuck is Wild Stallion? And I'm like, oh, that's their band. That's right. These characters have a band. That's I did not remember remember you get a lot of credit for knowing the basic facts about bill and ted at all i don't even think i've ever seen those movies all the way through the second one used to be on comedy central all the time so i'd catch it like 15 minutes at a time but otherwise yeah they they're pretty lost i should also say then at the end kramer blows up the set

a thing kramer would do blow up be like gonzo the muppet and like have a bunch of explosives and in season nine he might have done something like that he was getting a little wackier toward the end yeah that's true yeah that that's where that gag where he sees where he's a chicken or whatever. In that 97 one, before Kramer blows up the set, it does end with Bill and Ted and Captain Kirk performing Smells Like Teen Spirits. Sorry, I'm a spence. Years after. Captain Kirk?

Captain Kirk sings? He was in Star Trek Generations in 1996. That's why it's Kirk and the Heart together. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. But the Borg Queen was in First Contact. Again, I'm listing things. 98 is First Contact. So I guess that's within a couple years.

You should do a listing drinking game. Everyone should take a shot when something is listed. Every time we say something that happened. I mean, this is what being at the Bill and Ted show is like. We're listing 26 years of things that happened in their show, but they just list the things that happened i mean this is what being at the bill and ted show is like right we're listing 26 years of things that happen in their show but they just list the things that happened this year yeah yeah should we also just do a dance break for 15 minutes at the end of the episode oh we all do the backpack kid dance oh yeah uh the one thing that keeps coming back is Ethan Hunt repels it. But okay, here's my thing. Ethan Hunt drops from the ceiling in 99.

But the second movie hadn't come out yet. And the first movie is a few years old. Then in the year that Mission Impossible 2 came out, he drops from the ceiling again. The same gimmick like in Mission Impossible 1 but they are playing the Limp Bizkit song from Mission Impossible 2 that we like so much

oh yeah our anthem for skydiving so yeah and I feel like people going like Ethan Hunt like that gets a big pop but I would I kind of wanted Ethan Hunt Mission Impossible 2 Ethan Hunt to ride in on a motorcycle I'm looking at 96 and Ethan Hunt of course Impossible 2, Ethan Hunt to ride in on a motorcycle. I'm looking at 96, and Ethan Hunt, of course,

comes out and performs old-time rock and roll. Which is, of course, the underwear dance from Risky Business, which is two Tom Cruise characters, so you could say that's kind of clever. This show loves Risky Business Tom Cruise. We've seen ones from 2006 where he rolls out. It's like they really love to confuse whoever the actor is with their role like there's a lot of uh i've seen a lot of the guy who plays bill saying to the guy who plays ted my movie career is not going as

good as yours keanu oh yeah that's a more sad than anything else alex winter though we've talked to tie it all to tie it back to Tween culture Alex Winter, a prolific director Within that world He directed Smosh the movie He did, yeah So he's up to a lot

Smosh I don't think has appeared I would like if they had started to get to that zone Where like, Fred Like all these YouTube characters Oh you're annoying. Fred hasn't appeared. Fred would be good. Yeah and Fred would be a good candidate for like an older more established celebrity who

dads like to if he punched Fred out. If like you know Judge Dredd punched Fred in the face. You mean to tell me Bill and Ted did not address when the one of the two Smosh original guys left the Smosh organization?

That's right. For the 2018 version, the villain would be Anthony Padilla. For daring to break up the duo. He's trying to split up Bill and Ted. You know that when Bill and Ted got them, he's like to split up bill and ted well and you know that when bill and ted got them yeah yeah he's like an end to all duos and then he'd get them back together and he and

the other smosh guy would kiss and oh yeah it'd be like ew gross let's dance let's ignore them and dance um anyone else say anything you like oh uh oh wait you know what I'm sorry one thing that we've missed here and Jason I think you alluded to it in all of the all of the characters that we have mentioned coming out we've forgotten something that you guys kept up in the live show very well is that they are always presented

in a way of Bill and Ted saying in unison Ethan Hunt Dr. Evil Carrie Strug which is a real one as well from 1996. 96 as well. Always that delivery.

Brad and Nick, in one of your UCB shows, my favorite one of that was when the very funny Devin Field came out as, they went, the founder. It was Ray Kroc. Ray Kroc, the founder. Yeah, we had the, we liked just combining things. It was like, there were some Rick and Morty fans who were mad they weren't getting their Szechuan sauce from McDonald's, and then the founder comes out and gives it to them.

They lap it up from his hands. And Szechuan sauce does show up in the 2017 version. Oh, yeah. We predicted things in our show that they did. Oh, yeah. Anything else you remember? It was the first year that we did it. We did a thing of like, it was like Jurassic World, like taking, like their dinosaur machine got got broken so it was like celebrities were coming

out and they're like combined and then they ended up doing that they ended up the real bill and ted show did that like the next year yeah wow yeah there's were called kardasha raptors or whatever but we we had it was like the the the hybrid celebrities it was just stupid little jokes of like, Gamer Gateland Jenner. Just like the worst. Oh, my God. Mike, I interrupted you. Oh, that's okay. So you wanted to highlight. I was just going to say my favorite thing from 96 is just Sean Connery,

James Bond coming out and suggesting to Bill and Ted, let's get ready to rock. I've watched video that year year and he does a big, it's like James Bond comes out and it's a guy doing Sean Connery, James Bond in 96. And he's like, you were expecting someone else? And gets no reaction from the crowd. I think the crowd's supposed to cheer

because they like him and not Pierce Brosnan. Yeah, but everyone liked Pierce Brosnan. Yeah, I think an old man wrote it and was like, we all miss this guy, right? He also wrote out in like a generic kind of convertible, like a Cadillac like not a British

like not a I guess it was just whatever was backstage that they could use. And then the song that plays after that is Rock This Town by the Stray Cats. Which would lead guitar by Mulder. right molder and scully involved i left that out i'm sorry uh yeah one thing i i think that we alluded to earlier that i i do

want to talk about so the no photography and videotaping uh okay because there's a lot of levels to this you know there's been speculation online, like we were saying, that there was like legal threats or like they weren't supposed to do some sort of stuff or other companies had threatened the lawsuits. But then the other thing about the no, oh, and no photo and video so that like the media did not have a field day with it so to enforce the uh no photo or video uh i'm reading this from halloweenhoronights.wikia.com a very detailed website chronicling halloween horror nights history according to reports from bill and ted audience members in 2009 and 2010 team members assigned to the show security guards and officers of the orlando police department have a top priority of seeking would-be photographers in the theater and keeping all their eyes sharply focused on each audience remember and will run right up to

them with a flashlight the moment someone whips out a camera um universal excuse me universal has said to be borrowing top-ranked officers from the Orlando Police Department to work a billion and Universal employees or security guards will often turn the violator over to an OPD officer if they are caught

and will allow them to deal with the person. Some of the guests who have been caught using photography and subsequently turned over claim to have been roughly treated by the cops on their way out of Universal. And some have claimed, among other details, that they had their camera permanently confiscated, were taken to a backstage area where they were interrogated by an officer for answers, were physically harmed or were incarcerated at the orange County corrections facility for the night. Most of the people thrown out had also been reported to have been banned from the universal studios property ranging from a year to even a lifetime. Why didn't you just kick them out for the night with a warrant?

Like this is so intense. They have essentially hired off duty or on duty police officers to be Pinkertons for this Bill and Ted show. They're looking for the elite of the police force. Yeah, they're looking for the best of the best. The toughest, most well-trained people to drag a person with a cell phone camera out of their arena. And throw them against a wall and say, did you film the part where the wedding singer performs while Bill Clinton plays sax to win Monica Lewinsky back? Dude, is that on your camera?

Give me your film. You piece of shit. I'm a married man, but I'm keeping your fucking GoPro, buddy. Did you film the reggae predator smoking a bomb? A real thing from the 2008 show. Why? After everything we've just described,

let's add to this nightmare that there are military rules. There's incredible surveillance. Also, it didn't work. like that there are there's like military rules uh like there's that there's like incredible surveillance also it didn't work they're all on youtube now yeah every one of these videos has a warning saying not to tape it it's also interesting that just like what took down the show was just like and like a written art like it wasn't like video of yeah oh that's true superman it was just like a guy dryly describing this is what the show is and then just going beat by beat just being kind of like this was just saying what the show is and like that's what destroyed it like they didn't have

to go through all of like this secret police it was not terribly judgmental and you know far be it for me if there are more crazy details to share well we can find a part to do it but maybe we could talk about the 2013 show that brought the whole enterprise down, or at least in Hollywood. And you're correct that it's like, I mean, I don't know. It didn't feel to me like a super judgmental article because it is just like laying out here's what it was. Which if I copy pasted some quotes and there's, you know, the writer says there's a scene where a sharknado appears and Kim Jong-un comes onto the stage to explain that the sharknado came into existence as a result of Kristen Stewart sucking his dick too hard. And they made a sharknado happen rather than a regular tornado. Where did the sharks factor in? I don't... Maybe there's some nearby

sharks that Kim Jong-un owned that got swept up into the flurry of oral sex suction. I... And then, like... Oh, and then there's a moment... There's a thing about Cory Monteith's ghost. They are mocking the recently

dead of heroin Glee star Cory Monteith. Bleak. Very bleak. star very bleak a little bit yes for them um but really where the the thing that they did not get away with and rightfully so is that there is a and i just bolded these five words a witch turns superman gay and what you have and there's video of this just the most like mincing awful queen stereotype of uh of a gay person there is just no defending this or i don't wish to speak to you if you feel like defending this uh uh and it's not even i don't know it's not like it's the most offensive thing you've ever seen, but also it's not funny in any capacity,

and that could have saved it if it was on the edge, and that's a bit of a stereotype. But, you know, as a guy performed it, this is not what this show is. If this is the philosophy and it's what they're fighting for, don't. We should all let this go. It was 2013. It was 2013, which does not feel that long ago.

I guess we've come a long way since then. And then we all fell into a toilet. We then went backwards well past 2013 i don't know i mean i have like there there is i have read people writing about like oh homo erotic subtext and superman the zack snyder superman and stuff that does not seem like something they considered for this or like they saw that you're saying this is not some sort of a commentary on the zack snyder movie no i don't think it is uh but yeah this is just so uh i mean i guess what year was the the uh i mean the horrible prop 8 was passed in 2008 but when did this they finally legalized gay marriage was that 2009 2010 or something yeah so that was not that long before 2013 but like also this is that this show was done in hollywood in the entertainment industry

in the heart of the entertainment industry in a city with a very large gay population like that this is happening and that no one went like, hey, maybe we should not do this. He's just bonkers. Or there's just a single joke beyond that he's gay. To me, it's not the craziest thing in the world for a character to have effeminate qualities,

but there are jokes beyond that. But this truly is like, hey, and that's it. There's a single thing going on here, which it happens in the 2007 one I watched, too, where, you know, the pirates of the Caribbean come out. But then they turn to each other and you're a jitterbug and wake me up before you go-go starts. And they just, like, dance and flap their wrists around.

And, like, what are we doing? That's it? That's what you got? It's like, we're going to show what we think gay people are like. It's really weird. It's like to say, I'm a gay guy. It's like the same way they would play gay people in the 70s or 80s or something. But like, there's still Bill and Ted.

Like, gay people started being treated like humans in like 2009 or 2010 or something. And then this is still happening on the Bill and Ted stage in 2013. It's the gay characters from like Mel Brooks movies, which is very regrettable. It makes it a little harder to watch those movies. Pre-soap. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pre-soap gay characters. I have an interview with one of the writers, just a short quote about the 2003 show.

Oh boy, yes, please. He said, I am also proud of some of the risks we took this year with some of our characters. If you've seen the show, you know who I am talking about. I don't want to give anything away, but they rhyme with Fadam and Gosama. It's really great to hear the boos these two characters receive and how these boos turn to laughter when the audience realizes how much fun we are making fun of these guys. How much fun? This guy thought he was doing his part, I think, too. Like, I'm really, like, sticking it to these guys.

Yeah, he was, like, helping America. But how they portray Saddam and Osama in the show is... Do you guys want to get... Did they kiss? Did they kiss? They're all... They're gay. They're gay for each other, and they're wearing a Victoria's Secret underwear.

Oh, okay. Like all gay men do at all times. How do you make them even more evil I know make them gay yeah I know we're all like scared of these guys and what they might do to our country next but keep in mind they're gay

that said I think if there was a 2018 Bill and Ted Trump would be kissing every minute like that low hanging fruit of like trump kisses putin that happened on saturday night live last year i think i was not arguing that it didn't suck no i know i know you weren't but yeah finally got into how trump how much trump wants to kiss spicer we all know it yeah what huh what are we like okay so this this article comes i mean i sort of i guess i got into it earlier but then

yeah the show is the show is canceled for the year and there people are mad about it partially on the with the justification of well they had to let all of these actors go. And that's a regrettable thing. That's not a good thing. As with Roseanne, which played out in a very similar but with much higher stakes way this year. Really, Bill and Ted was really a predecessor of we don't live in the Bill and Ted show today.

Someone think about John Goodman's financial stability. Oh, yes, please. Everything going on in the world. Please. show today scene someone think about uh john goodman's financial stability oh yes please everything going on in the world please um but so like yeah that's on that's unfortunate but also i don't know maybe like put all the other actors into something else but also but then there was a follow-up article by the same vice writer uh who put i'll just read her quote which is a very. Oh it's a guy. It is a guy. Oh wait the name's. Yeah the name's Jamie. I wasn't sure. Yeah yeah. Okay okay. So the writer says

well first of all he says people call him people wrote him and said like you know all these actors are out of work because of you. You're a huge sack of shit. Also are we sure about that? They couldn't just make them scare actor? They couldn't just. Yeah they have other roles in Hollywood. Also it's a month about that? They couldn't just make them scare actors? They couldn't just... Yeah, they have other roles in Hollywood Horror Night. Also, it's a month-long job.

Just have 20 more monsters. Also, maybe you paid them out for the whole... Yeah, or just paid them out. Because it's your fault for approving a Lisping Gay character. And probably we're not being paid a lot of money. Yeah, I can only assume. It depends if

there's specific skills that these theme park performers have. Some of them get a higher pay. That is true. Stunt performers are professional dancers. Or Mike Meyer character impersonators. Man, they have the strongest union in Hollywood. This is a quick side note. I texted you a couple years ago because there was a listing to play Austin Powers in Universal Singapore.

And I thought you should just do that for six months. A lot of times that would be shipping Jason off to Singapore. We didn't have a podcast at the time. We weren't doing a lot. Yeah, we did not have a lot going on. Go to Singapore. As opposed to now when we have so much going on. Talking about sending Jason to Singapore.

But you wanted to send me to singapore like normal get shipped to abu dhabi you went like a crate i had a big crate that said to singapore and i tried to i put a a string of treats on the ground yeah you kept trying to get into the box i don't fall i know you you eat the treats and you leave the very last one. I'm too smart for it now. But so the writer ends up saying, I never wanted to cause people to lose their jobs when I wrote that original article. I just wanted to, you know, maybe get them to be less viciously homophobic. If there were mass firings over this, it seems like a very, very extreme reaction from Universal Studios. We also, by the way don't

know for a fact that they let all the actors go this was like a thing a commenter just leapt to and like stung the guy on and of course people were also mad in a way of like oh what so we can't laugh about anything anymore oh this pc the boohoo sorry you got offended and this is i don't understand why these wires are crossed like i i don't think we are prudes, but I think there's like, I think there's pushing the envelope. But the, like, that's, you know, free speech is important. And that is why we must have to have Superman wearing glitter lipstick. Like, can't we do we do like push the envelope without the and again this all proceeds i had all these thoughts in 2013 and now that this is

the arguments you are seeing and having every day of your damn life uh uh like i don't know there's a like can't we push the envelope without being like just like not understanding of cultures and people who have a hard time there's my little oh I guess Scott's a virtue signaling even the terms that have gotten into the popular culture

is like from the worst people from the like far right reactionaries you can trace anyone in the audience of a Bill and Ted show to being a proud boy. For everyone who attended. It's a real microcosm of all America's problems. You know, Dr. Evil pretends to

be Trump in 2004. Oh, wow, really? Does he take off the wig? He puts on the wig. When he's running for president, by the way, guys, I think the Bill and Ted show called it. Oh, yeah. Does it give any clues of what does Trump then blow up the set like Kramer? I think he hires Mr. Burns as his vice president.

Maybe that's where Mike Pence is going to get fired. Harry Shear will be called president. But Mr. Burns is kind of based on Rupert Murdoch, and obviously Trump is in league with Rupert Murdoch and obviously Trump is in league with Rupert Murdoch so it kind of did presage that in a way.

And Trump also factors in in 2007 because there's a part where there are big thunderous footsteps like Jurassic Park and Bill and Ted ask if it's an earthquake

but then no, it is Rosie O'Donnell and she is very large they've given her a lot of padding and then her enemy trump comes out and yells at her and rips his sleeves off and says come here you bitch and then like oh my god the trump is the hero of that what's that trump is the hero of that scenario we're that? Trump is the hero of that scenario? We're supposed to be on Trump's side as an audience. Like today, Trump is the hero in the versus Rosie.

Also presaging in the debate, he says with a smile, yeah, I did make fun of Rosie, and then is waiting for applause, which he gets. We do live in the Bill and Ted show. And then also in the wrestling match, he at some point calls her Jabba the Rosie as opposed to Rosie the Hut. Yeah, that's right there. That's much cleaner.

Yeah. The Rosie. The Rosie. You know, we talk about in comedy, punching up or punching down. Bill and Ted was just walking in a room punching in any direction. Running head first into a wall. Just face first into a wall.

It's a freak organism like the dinosaur hybrids that is all fists and arms. It's just a big ball of punching arms. Yeah. Rolling around a room. I don't care who I hurt. I just need to hurt. I must hurt. This is our, like, the id of America. Like, the dark side of America is

represented in the Bill and Ted show, which is then surrounded by haunted houses filled with, like, fears. Murderers, asylums, pumpkin-headed creatures, scary killer clowns, and probably The Walking Dead in a lot of it. I am fascinated by the movement to bring the show back. Oh, wow.

And I went to the Facebook group, which is a closed group, Save Bill and Ted. Slash MAGA. That's a subtext. I haven't come across that statement, but I believe that most people believe that. Did you have to change your Facebook picture to a Blue Lives Matter Facebook photo to get in?

M. Carlson 6592433 it's like one of those ones with this string of numbers i did have to prove though that i was a fan somehow and well not somehow but with a question and it said if you're a fan of bill and ted uh what number oh very special like what number are we thinking of? Ugh. And I wrote 69. Of course. And I hit enter and I was approved within a minute. Wow. So I think... He got it. I don't know if that's auto...

I don't know if you can do an auto thing. I do think an administrator got a text on their phone and it said, oh, somebody wants to join the group. And she was like, oh, did he say 69? Because I say her because there's two female administrators. So they approved me. And this group has 1,091 members.

More than we have on Facebook. More than our Facebook group. Yep, yep, yep, yep. And people are, I'm just going to put, first of all, it links also to a petition. There's a petition and this still active facebook page to save bill and ted um so let's see here i wrote a couple of the these are from the petition actually first um someone said bill and ted has become a holiday tradition in a strange way it's like seeing the rockettes in new york city it's the only thing my fam whole family can agree on when we do our

annual trip to Halloween Horror Nights Okay, this is another person I've been going to Halloween Horror Nights for 14 years in a row And the best part is always Bill and Ted's excellent Halloween adventure Even though through the months leading up to Halloween Horror Nights I wonder if a particular event will end up in that year's show So they're very excited about it Even though they're nervous

Yes, it includes foul language, scantily clad women and men, pyrotechnics, etc. But the main theme remains to be the same. Be excellent to each other. They say that. Definitely the straight writers, the Bill and Ted show, are being excellent to gay people. And then there's somebody who goes on and on about all like, my husband organizes a Halloween horror night trip every year for his office. and i want to let you know that that's a loss of three thousand dollars if we don't go to horror nights this year however will they make that back yeah board it up yeah

what is that fucking office what is but the fate yeah i everyone should go on the Facebook Just say 69 and you'll get in I don't want to start any shit With this Facebook page though I'm like You don't want to get on the bad side? We're going to get swatted I think it would be funny if we started a feud With the Save Bill and Ted Facebook group

That's all you my man Alright fine We had a weird interaction with some Bill and Ted Please tell me the story We were doing this show my man all right fine we had we had a weird interaction with some oh yes yeah yes the so yeah we were doing this show making fun of the bill and ted show at ucb for a few years and uh one year i think i just wrote the description of the show and like i just like i didn't spend any time i was just like the universal studio show was bad and we're doing it now uh i guess a bunch of them saw a bunch of uh actors and dancers and a pyrotechnic guy from the Hollywood show saw it and were commenting and just being like this.

You guys are being rude and mean. We all worked hard on the show until in the like the Facebook event for the show. Yeah. Well, I don't think if they're going to be mad just about that two minute section, they're going to be very displeased with the entire episode that we've just done yeah we're in trouble that's not no matter what um i was fine with them ripping the show apart until those two minutes where they went on our page i just hope that that the in general that the take that's out there as the writer from vice says she was not trying to end this certainly if people want it to come back, talk to Universal Studios, who also years later ended it in Orlando, by the way.

It has had its final year in Orlando. But like, I just hope that no one is like viewing this issue as like, oh yeah, well people got butt hurt and now we can't have our fun show anymore. Because that's not what happened. No one said, there was not some protest, take the show down.

Had they eliminated the offensive gay material, this could have kept going. No one's mad that they're doing a Bill and Ted show in general. Yeah, I want it to continue forever. Yeah, exactly. You guys were trying to make it keep going. I would also argue they could have ignored the article and kept doing the gay stuff. And no one would have said anything. No one would have cared.

Yeah. No one. Everyone everyone the audience would have been delighted and people might have gone to see it because of the article that probably would have been real funny i want to go see superman yeah that's what people the um i i do want to talk about the final year and why they stopped doing it so i don't know this uh uh well i don't definitively know why but it's just an observation uh in orlando this would take place in a giant outdoor stage covered stage that for many years was a wild west stunt show which was fun like that show was fun to be cowboys shooting at each other and the flat set would fall down at some point. Eventually became Fear Factor Live and remained Fear Factor Live well after Fear Factor's popularity.

But it would be used for this Bill and Ted show. It is such a huge plot of real estate. one of the most valuable theme park locations in the world. Like, it is crazy how this just takes up, like, a corner of the park, this giant amphitheater. Yeah. It's right next to Diagon Alley in Orlando. A perfect expansion area potentially for Harry Potter or anything else. There's been a lot of speculation of, like, oh, a Ministry of Magic battle ride. Like, and they have this giant thing there.

A Harry Potter, a Harry Pothead hot box experience. Yeah, yeah. Oh, man, that would rule. At least a Halloween overlay of Harry Pothead. Oh, yeah, yeah, sure. Oh, that'd be great. I kind of like that, honestly. Yeah.

But, like, it seems crazy to me that this, not only that this lasted for 26 years, but that it takes up so much of this park. Fear Factor also. What a strange. That'll be a whiff. When we get around to the Fear Factor live episode, that will all be dragon. I saw it a couple times, and it was never fun. It was very unnerving.

Yeah. So I do want to talk about what the last year's one was. Oh, please. Because this was like the peak. This was like accelerationism writ large. So it starts with Sean Spicer, but not just any Sean Spicer. Melissa McCarthy on the rolling podium Sean Spicer. Literally from second one is doing a joke from a popular

television show from a TV show yeah but NBC Universal property yeah so she scolds the audience that this is a joke damn it and leave if you're gonna get butthurt the word I just the word you just

use which again it's just a virus that has infected our language. Like a phrase used by just the worst people. It's a super condescending term. Extremely. You get bitter. And the audience cheers at that line. It's cheers.

And then she mentions her friends Jon Snow and Daenerys. What is it from Game of Thrones? Yeah. Sexy ladies dance. Recounting the minutes. What's that? The guy's even hotter. I don't even understand what I wrote.

Is it about the dress? The color of the dress? Yeah. There wasn't. I don't think there was the dress? The color of the dress? Yeah. There wasn't. I don't think there was the dress in it. Okay. So some sexy ladies dance to most of pour some sugar on me. I looked it up in 2017.

That song was 30 years old. Bill and Ted appear to rock music. Then death shows up. That is a reference to Bill and Ted. Oh, finally. Yeah. But who is it really? It shows up. That is a reference to Bill and Ted. Oh, finally. Yeah. But who is it really? It is Death.

It is? It is just Death the whole time. This is the most shocking reveal of the episode. One of them says that the Fear Factor stage is a shithole, which I thought was pretty funny. Death is there to drag Bill and Ted to hell unless he can prove pop culture is worth redeeming and uh then someone says the twerk fest is officially open and then

someone says hey boss baby and then someone says sean spicer and it's Spicer again, but he's wearing a diaper. Oh. Why would that be? The Twerk Fest. Yeah, he says, we've got gender-neutral outdoor poop stations. You need a unicorn frappe or unicorn fettuccine, Alfred. Like, it's just. Oh, they're mad at all that unicorn stuff. Yeah, they're mad at the unicorn stuff and gender neutral things.

Again, oddly right leaning. The Power Rangers show up from the remake. Oh, of course. Cranston is Lord Zedd. No, no, no. Zordon. Zordon, yeah, yeah. They form a human centipede.

And John Spicer says no ass to mouth and stop liking it so much. Eight years after human centipede. Yeah. Which, like Sharknado, is essentially a joke thing to begin with. Yeah. They got to stick it to eating booty.

Let's see. What else? Oh, there's a reoccurring video segment uh where like they play rock guitar and then they say like trump tweets and then their trump tweets appear on screen that is nothing like that keeps happening but it's a real non-sequitur they show his real tweets they're like fake i think they write silly ones about the show about like oh he like he's being mean. Yeah. Hacksparrow shows up. Hacksparrow.

He has a USB drive of the live-action Lion King, which does not exist yet, and it's just an excuse to play a clip of lions fucking. Barb from Stranger Things shows up, and then Eleven comes out and does the backpack kid dance.

And someone says, Yas, queen, so extra. Zac Efron's character from Baywatch shows up. Baywatch. Justin Bieber shows up and starts speaking in Spanish and Despacito plays the official song of Universal Studios. Deadmau5 is also there DJing and is never acknowledged.

Then there's a big music break and that song that plays at the end of one of the Fast and the Furious movies, the fun one plays. La Bamba plays. The Macarena plays. And this is how it went. The final moments of this,

the end of a multi-decade franchise, they wrap it up with people dancing the Macarena. This is what they're about. They realize they're out of food for some reason, and someone says, Bad news, everyone. The only food we have left is 20 year old Szechuan sauce from McDonald's

character is now holding a big fidget spinner which is not really acknowledged or used and then Rick shows up and says wubba lubba dub dub and takes the Szechuan sauce Rocket Raccoon shows up and says

someone says hey check it out, a trash panda. Ted does the, oh, Ted says, I am Ted a bunch, like I am Groot. Why would Ted say that? That's a perfect example of the weird math, what is it of this? Yeah. Why is that anything? Kids illegally vaping their dicks off off i don't even remember what that is uh moana shows up and they they don't know her name they guess every other princess's name

and then she sings a song she's saying like to the tune of that the main song from moana and but the lyrics are like about how these lyrics suck. Oh, and then she says, silly water always getting me wet, because there's a guy in a suit that looks like water. And the audience goes crazy for the line about getting her wet. Getting Moana wet? Yes, that's right. Yes. How old is Moana?

Not old enough. Okay. Then Wonder Man shows up, which is a man in a Wonder Woman costume. It's not Wonder Man from the Marvel comics. It is not Wonder... I was hoping it was going to be... It's a spoof. Yeah, it's a spoof.

And then Wonder Woman does show up and kick his ass. Yeah. Take that, Wonder Man. Take your girl clothes off, Wonder Man. How much more is there? It's still going. Someone says it's like a sausage factory up in here and then says we have the meats and the Arby's.

They get really into commercials in the Bill & Ted show. They get really into commercials. There's one with a buff shirtless guy from the Old Spice commercial and the crowd loves it. Then below, the beautiful ladies of wrestling show up and someone says, woman up, you look like a couple of McGregors.

Which causes the audience to lose their minds. So we still are in the area of like, these women look like men and these men look like women and that's bad. Still at the end of this nothing has been learned yeah yeah uh then sexy lady i'll just speed up because it's it just starts to be

callbacks at a certain point uh sexy lady versions of bill and ted show up african-american versions of bill and ted show up death shows up holding the it balloon not really acknowledge the avatar person from a few years prior shows up and complains about how they have sex with their tails again. The Avatar person, is that a Na'vi? Yes, a Na'vi. Yeah, that is a joke in a few of them, that the Na'vi have sex with their tails.

Yeah, they're digging at the Avatar worlds. At Disney World. Yeah, and the last four Orlando ones with someone from avatar running in and doing like the broadest performance i've ever seen they're dressed in an avatar costume and then they have a mickey mouse like cap oh and they're like we they're screaming at the top of their lungs we have sex with our tails we have sex with our tails and then they then they always say what's the it's like uh avatar land coming in. See, now I can get behind that.

That's a solid joke because it took a long time for that to open. It did take a long time for that. It's like the one perspective the Bill and Ted show has. Avatar Land took a long time. Oh, here is an upsetting perspective they have. I believe it's Death says, United Airlines, bring him to me. And a couple heavies come out and grab him. What? Rough him up united airline like yikes

so uh but then it very quickly jumps to someone complaining about how apple released the iphone 8 and the iphone 10 at the same time and where's the freaking iphone 9 kendall jenner shows up with a pepsi dr evil shows up cash Me Outside is referenced, but the girl is not there. They have to go back to 1991 to just go back to live their lives, and that's kind of how it ends. Then they do a curtain call to Jump. Mort's sexy dancing. An Ed Sheeran impersonator.

Death does a little dance with David S. Pumpkins, who is not named. Lady Gaga. There's so much more. Nokins, who is not named. Lady Gaga. There's so much more. No, no, that's it. Hurry up. Lady Gaga. We can't take this anymore. Lady Gaga impersonator shows up and just does a number.

Yeah. And then there's a video. There's a farewell montage of video stuff from previous shows. We are the champions. Pretty much. Just taking a victory lap. Anyway, I am physically tired after that.

Me too. David has the last final straw. I can't say words anymore. It should have ended with just David S. Pumpkins in a spotlight going, any questions? And that's it. He should have ended with just David S. Pumpkins in a spotlight going, any questions? And that's it.

Like, that would have been. He should have been the villain. He's like the Dr. Evil of 2017. Yeah. So. All right. So this is awful. This is very bad.

You guys got to, you got to imagine, I mean, it was still going in Florida, but you were imagining for a little while what it would be like had it still been going in Hollywood. I don't remember a lot from these shows, even though you were nice enough to have me in them and I had fun being in them. I don't remember anything from them because there was a new thing every 10 seconds. So I accurately like the Real Universal one. Your show was such a barrage. I do remember enjoying Betsy Sedaro as the Chewbacca mom in the mask. And Mike Hanford as Trump's weird doctor singing a duet and finding understanding because they both were in weird photos and got made fun of.

So they fall in love. Is there anything else you'd like to name check from your own performances? In 2016, we had Donald Trump ask Dirty Grandpa to provide his dirt certificate. We had... There's one... Let me see. Chris Christie showed up and... Oh, no, it was Bill ordered Postmates

and Larry Wilmore was his Postmates driver because his show got... That's like a lazy joke they'll do in these shows. I'm like, I do Uber now. So Larry Wilmore drops off his food and his food turns out to be the sausage from Sausage Party. And then Chris Christie comes in and eats it. A thing I really liked in 2016,

again, this was right before the election, so at the time, it seemed like a very funny joke to do, ironically. You had audience members, there was a box on stage where audience members could write down suggestions

of things they wanted to see in the show, and then when it came time for that moment, they just kept looking through and said all the cards just said lock her up which was i mean that was that's crazy there was a presidential election where like on cable news people were like not only should this person lose the election they should go to jail yeah it's still happening yeah trump's gonna get bored by but you know by 2023 and he's like run out of awful things to do it'll like we'll get around to putting hillary in jail yeah but so that yeah that's all great and i i think what

i'm leading to is that i think we all we we're a little writer's room here. I think we owe the audience a take on what if, God bless, God bless, God willing, we're still going in Orlando. How would the Bill and Ted show be skewering 2018? Thanos is the villain, probably. Uh-huh. Don't you think? I was going to pitch Hari kondabalu as the villain and the bill of dead show is like mad maybe he teams up with hannah gadsby and they're like

you guys should fuck up the pc police yeah yeah taking or taking a boo away yeah i was gonna say that uh uh pete davidson is the villain and uh they uh he has stolen bill and ted's big dick energy i have you know what i had an idea but i think it could combine with yours which is there's a reveal like there's a there's a shadow he comes out in a smoke machine there's no like you can't see his face and bill and ted are like oh no slender man but then he comes into the light and it's Pete Davidson and I and I had another further thought because of course Bill and Ted Hallmark you have to incorporate characters from films that are intended to be funny so he so he sees the back of the head of a girl with a ponytail and he's like oh sweet Ariana come here baby

and he grabs her and starts to make out with her but it's a puppet from the happy time murders um i i wrote i thought i was worried this would be too dark but then when i found out they did the corey monte the same year it happened uh zombie john mccain does the backpack dance. And his arms snap off in the end. I think I wanted Thanos because I thought there would be an opportunity for like to have somebody come out and maybe, you know,

this might be a little too inappropriate, but you have Rose McGowan come out and start talking about the Me Too movement and then Thanos just snaps his fingers and she goes away. And the audience cheers. And of course they can think that she is Dr. Evil.

That's a good point. I didn't even think. That's another layer. There's room for multiple villains. This is a yes and situation. A retread of 2004 where there's like 8 villains. And you know what? Let's get the Terminator in as well.

Yeah, get him in there. Rupert Murdoch and Mickey Mouse kissing because of the Fox Disney merger. Oh, yeah. We know what merger really means. They're merging downstairs. Mr. and Mrs. Incredible come out like they're going to help, and then they just start acting out

who's afraid of Virginia Woolf scenes. What a reference. Yeah, I know. This isn't the show you would write. I know. Our brains are all so irony poisoned.

They can see a big shadow or a big shape coming and think that it's the super moon and then they realize that it's Mrs. Incredible's butt. Oh, yeah, that made two film reviewers horny. Yeah, yeah, those great reviews. Sarah Huckabee Sanders getting refused service at IHOB. And then she sings Zendaya is Meachie. It's very important.

A really crucial thing is that things be rough. You can't just do the recent past of 2018. You have to go back to, you know, August and things that no one remembers already, even though they happened in August. This is why I would vote to get. I want multiple Melissa McCarthy's. I want her from Happy Time Murders. And I want Life of the Party running around and messing everything up. They're hosting the show

at the top. They're getting Melissa McCarthy's. And Sean Spicer. And Sean Spicer, Melissa McCarthy. Ethan Hunt dancing to old time rock and roll. Oh, for the long time fans. Yeah. Lady Gaga from A Star

Is Born, but she's just doing the like just doing that one weird part from a very good like a good song but the weird part they put in the trailer and then they're like get her out of here

I was gonna say that you could also have Bradley Cooper's character. I've not seen the film yet. But maybe a runner is they are trying to, they need to escape from the clutches of Thanos and Hannah Gadsby. So because they are trying to get signed by Bradley Cooper so that their star can be born. Like they're trying to get Wild Stallions.

Oh, yeah. They want to be on Jackson Maine's label. They sure do. I'm just realizing this. How about instead and there's like a misdirect with the Fox Disney thing that Disney gets outbid to buy Fox

and Fox is bought by the crazy rich Asians. That's pretty good. That's good. I like that. I don't know that I trust the creative team of Bill and Ted to touch the crazy rich. I am concerned that will be problematic immediately.

No, I think they have the right take. I'm sure they have the right touch to make that. I've got an idea that is, as is totally non-problematic, which is that, um, the um the you know they need to bill and ted need to make some escape they're trying to get into their phone booth

perhaps to go get to bradley cooper but they can't because the pathway is blocked by the four older women of book club who are demanding to suck their dicks they won't get out of the way until and they're like oh older gross get them out of here maybe they start to do it and then uh and then they turn they're like the blockers parents what are you doing here the blockers parents stop them uh along those lines they just have a line that bill and ted would say in unison the players from game night the players from game night the blockers from blockers and uh the players from tag the taggers from tag um actually the blockers being like them also being like pc police like

trying to stop every sex scene oh yes then they come around at the end they come around at the end of bill and then they all have sex with each other. Or with the tag guys. So all of the game player, all of the errs, all get into a big dog pile. And you gotta get big mouth in there.

Because you always need a character that is good, like the thing that people do like. That was an alt idea I had, is that also the, speaking about being blocked, maybe Big Mouth gets a big embarrassing boner and it's too big for Bill and Ted to get into their machine. They have to wait for it to diffuse,

but he's so horny that it won't go away. The Infinity Stones are stolen from Thanos' gauntlet by Ocean's Eight. Ooh. That's good. Yeah, yeah. Oh, is it Cookout Kathy? Is that her name? The woman who called the police on people grilling in San Francisco?

Is just constantly calling the police throughout the show and crying? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That, yeah. Yeah. That's good. And then I think maybe the victory at the end, maybe they're too late to get signed by Jackson. Jackson Maine.

Jackson Maine. Well, or he may have just passed by that as all Star is Bored's. I still don't know. I don't know what happens in Star is Bored. I still don't know. I don't know what happens in Star is Bored. Don't tell me. We're young. We're young. Star is Bored. The first one was from 1937.

I don't know it. You just told us, too. You spoiled us. I'm going to have to put a tag on this now. I actually don't know. You haven't seen the 30s Star is Bored. They made so many of them. I don't know the 30s Star Wars? I'll leave it ambiguous. They made so many of them. It's fine. I don't know the 30s film.

I have one more. It ends happily. Never mind. Yeah, he signs them. Oh, no. And then he goes home at a reasonable hour. My idea was that there's some distortion. They get in the machine, but they were just trying to travel in space.

They end up traveling in time instead. And how did we end up here? We're back in 1983. We missed it. Now we can't get signed. But a cool dude named Brett Kavanaugh rolls around and says, Bill and Ted, you guys would be perfect new members of my squad. Hey, meet Squee and Tobin.

And then they party all night long. And then Brett Kavanaugh gets the Venom symbiote. You got Dennis Miller. He's going to write an article for Babe.net, but he's like, guys, I need four weeks to do it. Man, that is a deep call. I don't even get it.

Dennis Miller said he was going to take four weeks to say his comments on Michelle Wolf at the White House course. Remember from nine months ago? The world moves very fast. Nine years ago?

And it's constantly. Fifteen things happen a day. The world is moving too fast and it's always bad. It's why we need this Bill and Ted show to summarize the year, to give us perspective. Yeah, because the incredible pace of the news cycle. How do we even know what the year was and now that bill and ted's gone there's no way of knowing the ideas that we just threw out and that was probably what five seven ten minutes that makes up about a minute and a

half of the show that is so bad for we need 50 times those ideas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You need like 200 writers minimum on these shows just to generate the pure volume. The Pill and Ted show is very much like those spam pop-up ads of like, you're not going to last five minutes playing this game. Five minutes playing this horny game. Well, you know, I would like to say, as with many things, I think we just proved our ability as Bill and Ted. I think we proved that we could write in Bill and Ted's voice. So, Universal, if you want to bring back this show, as the Facebook group wants, we want this too.

We just want a little bit of an adjustment, and I think we're the guys to do it. So Universal, you know where we are. Or if you want to switch it to Jay and Silent Bob. Yeah, that's fine. The Mystery Men. Oh. Oh, yeah.

Now is the time to do the Mystery Men Halloween spooks. And the show takes place in the house with the clock in the walls. Clocks in the walls? I don't know how many clocks are in those walls.
