QAA Podcast - A Working Man feat Gabrus (Premium E287) Sample

Episode Date: April 29, 2025

A working man. A man who works… to free his boss’ daughter from the clutches of a human trafficking ring. Gabrus joins Jake and Julian as we attempt to make sense of this very puzzling film starring Jason Statham and co-written by none other than Sylvestor Stallone. They’ve come together to make an awful mess, complete with mobsters straight out of Grand Theft Auto and the Russian bad guy equivalent of Beebop and Rocksteady. Gabrus also talks about his experience seeing the film in 4D.

Keep me If you're hearing this, well done. You found a way to connect to the internet. Welcome to the QAA podcast, Premium Episode 287, A Working Man, Movie Night. As always, we are your host, Jake Rockatansky. Julian Field. John Gabris.

And no Travis View. As requested by me, I thank you very much for kicking him out. John said, I'll come on. Get that guy out of here. I just got to say, real quick, it was so exciting to say my name as one of the hosts. You know, I listen every week, and I'm very pumped to get to say. I mean, absolutely, absolutely, because here's the thing. I listen to a lot of podcasts, and they have great guests on, and sometimes they make the guests just kind of linger in

the shadows, like for kind of like an uncomfortable amount of time before they eventually turned. And I was like, not my boy. I can't do them like that. Not on this Jason Statham, a beautiful movie night. Thank you. Thank you. And I feel, I feel so welcome to continue. you with your spiel. I'm sorry I interrupted. Alright, I got a little bit of a spiel. It all began a couple weeks ago when my partner and I went to see Mickey 17. We arrived

early to the theater and didn't feel like hanging out in our seats for 45 minutes so instead we hung out on the theater terrace doing bits and bobs and wondered out loud where the guys with the backpacks get all their little light up whirlipops that they were throwing. How old are you? Worley pops

that they were throwing high into the air. fuck is going bits and you were doing bits and bobs bits and bobs we do like little bits you wondered about the light up orly pops yeah the things that the guys throw are you okay man are you sundowning i can't believe i said do your spiel i didn't know this was the spiel jesus my spills have become like more unhinged recently and and i'm like it feels better it you know in this in this new era to try to kind of button it up and and contain my insanity it just like doesn't feel right doesn't sit well with me so you're like somehow the the american version of british people who say like i was faffin about it's like just there's something bizarre and also unique like i can't place where any of this

language comes from the closest i can imagine is like yeah like an orphan with a transatlantic accent it's you know what it is you know what it really is it's like little brother gibberish it's like shit that my brother and i would like make up in the back seat of a car on long car trips and stuff that would drive my parents absolutely nuts it would just be the two of us, because we're only like two years apart. So it would just be the two of us back there going, bigotty, baboity, hibbidi, hibbidi, dabbity dabbity, like until my parents, like, blew their tops. Yeah.

We used to sing big, uh, truck drivers got big hairy balls to the truck drivers got big hairy balls. And it would make my parents go fucking ape shit. Like we were, they're getting so much trouble. Truck driver, truck driver. I can't believe you guys had the huts but like go that hard. Like we would, we were feeling guilty just doing the hibbid, babbab-de-boo and stuff. Oh, yeah.

Trash. I mean, we are. I guess I shouldn't, can say work. So we're out there on the terrorists, doing bits and bobs, and something caught my eye. A massive, massive banner. Don't say it again. A massive, massive banner for a new Jason Statham movie. Wow, we got another Q&O movie.

A working man. Jason Statham, a blue collar guy. but look human traffickers beware this is a movie not friendly to human traffickers

and look it's right above slicehouse but don't get me so I mean the closest I can come

to like describing like the first thought that then would later be born as this movie is just Sylvester Stallone

his brain half working just like kind of muttering to himself well gotta save the kids. We've got to save the kids. We got to save the kids. This is the most co-written by Sylvester Stallone movie that's ever existed. Yeah. Dumb Guy Brain is just so dominant in this

movie and I love it. And I've got a crazy take about this, which we'll get to, we'll get to towards the end. But you're not wrong. He is working class. And we will see a lot of that. Yeah. Yeah. The title of the film. Now, we did go to Slice House by Tony Gagamani afterwards and the pizza was excellent. We've since been back. So naturally, when I was trying to think of a movie night for this week's episode, I wanted initially to torture myself with A2 Force Warfare, another Alex Garland movie where I knew I would leave the film traumatized and angry, which always

makes for great Jake content. But then, Julian pointed out that there was really no conspiracy angle, and the film seemed to be just straight up a slice of war type movie. I mean, the movie just looks so boring. It's like Civil War already was very boring. I didn't get the trauma. If I had gotten a little bit of trauma, I would have been like, cool. You wanted the trauma.

One for trauma, please. Garland doesn't have what it takes to bother me. He's just boring. Damn, wow, strong words. So anyway, Julian had asked, What about that Statham movie? Of course. How could I have forgotten the giant banner reading,

quote, human traffickers beware situated directly above Tony Gagamani's slice house. No, don't. And also, you're mispronouncing Gemini. Yeah. This is racist against Italians and I won't stand for it.

Yeah, what the fuck, bro. I was worried that I would have to make a trip to the theater to watch what I assumed was going to be a heaping pile of garbage. But to my good fortune, a working man was already available on streaming. That, however, did not stop our beloved guest

you know him from high and mighty you know him from the action boys you've heard him on improv for humans and you will hear him on his upcoming show staying alive john gabris from seeing a working man in the theater in 4d yeah you texted me about this and i said i can't believe i'm gonna rewatch this piece of shit and i think that surprised you of me using the word rewatch what do you mean 4d like do you does it emit the smell of statham's sweat like what are we you have to be on a construction site hammering rebar in while the movie plays no it's it's regals uh proprietary invention 4 dx which is the kind that like rumbles you or it's like a little bit of like a oh my god man it's awful what kind of rumble are we talking about is it like a seven is it a four like it's like how it's between a four and a six they tie it depending on what's happening in the movie. There's air bursts when there's gunshots.

No. There's water that sprays you and like it kind of hits you in the back and put. So that scene where Statham is just like jacking off violently and just coming? Like do they spray you? Well, I have like an add-on because I'm a regal 3D member. So they, I have like a little pocket pussy that I can plug in and it'll just, it'll just do whatever's that. It's a haptic, a haptic suck suit and it works perfectly.

I don't think you understand. There's a scene where, in which Jason Statham is jacking himself off. In what, like, explaining me the configuration that makes your pocket pussy match that scene. We're never going to get John out by 820, by the way. No, why would we? I want to hear more about this invention. He seems to have a pocket pussy that somehow makes you Jason Statham. And then I'm thinking, wouldn't it be like the simulation of a hand?

None of this makes sense. No, you know, it's all approximations. They can't do it as. It squirts water. It moves you around. And I've only used it. I've only gone to 40x once or twice. It usually is to plus up a bad movie, which was my intention with this.

Yeah. But it does it. Like, my wife hates it because you can't fall asleep during a bad movie because it just keeps moving you around. So it's not as relaxing as you would think. And then in this one, the most specific thing that stressed me out was I got the rumble seat when that bad guy slaps his wife. I'm like, they put, they gave me a 40x experience of domestic abuse.

Yeah. I was, I, like, turned to the guy I was with. I'm like, did I just get rattled when a dude slapped his wife? He's like, yeah, the working man. Like, we're in it. So some people didn't get, so that must have been the abuser were the people whose chairs didn't rumble. Oh, everyone's chairs were.

I sat in the abuser's chair. Yeah, it was only the abusers in the cinema. Yeah, that's interesting, though, that that happened to you.
