It's I Will.
It's a Danny Brown song.
His name is Danny Brown, not Will, but...
Will I am?
That's Will I Am's new song
Will I Am.
Dude, imagine if Will I Am came out with
I Will instead of Danny Brown.
I would love that.
No, I imagine a black eyed piece came out with that.
Dude,

for historical event.
because I was like there the moment it got taken down.
Not like I saw it got taken down,
but like I remember kind of like within a week period
of like looking up the song.
Yeah, it's gone.
And like playing it around the office.
Because you were like, wait, what?
Oh, wait, why did?
Yeah, they don't play this version on the radio or anything.
We're going to bring it back.
We're putting it back on streaming services.
The original let's get it started.
Yeah, I will host it up X.
let's uh

it's illegal again
I remember
like an echoey cough
dude maybe just a few
like
you know
America's back
What are you doing?
Why are you reaching in your pants?
Are you touching your gonads?
Matt has no mic in his hand.
I mean, you're obligated during the podcast to have a microphone in your hand, but your hands in your pants.
In fact, probably from your forearm...
Ryan, I eat stuck.
My arm is stuck.
I need help.
Look, I feel like if I keep helping you out of these.
situations you're never going to learn to get out of them yourself this is a learning lesson
yeah it's really stuck dude luke cut to the commercial there we go oh nothing like a little commercial
break can't fix how you doing today matthew watson i'm doing all right man actually no i'm doing
you got some good sleep you told me i think so you said i feel so rested and restful and i feel
positive like i can take the day on it's you said i feel like i can i can i can i can i can
can blow someone's brains out you're so confident is what you told me well it's a metaphor um
in the middle of time square you said i will i just i'm just playing around then you said my fans
did still support me i could blow someone's brains out in time square you said and the megheads
will have my back yeah dude i mean just because i joke about something off camera doesn't mean you
have to go and blab about it to the this blabbing it's a podcast we talk we're i'm i'm
I'm just talking.
Well, I'm just listening because when you speak, Ryan, I sit my white ass down and I listen.
I'm happy. I'm glad that you do. And I learn. And you learn. I do learn. Well,
what was the last thing you learned from me on the podcast? I don't think, I ain't no teacher.
That's not true. But it warms my heart to hear that you learn stuff from me. So I'm interested.
You are a teacher, dude.
You're full of wisdom, you know?
Wisdom, power, and love.
Wisdom power.
Oh, okay.
Our God is an awesome God.
Hey.
I didn't say it.
I was thinking Imagine by John Lennon for a second.
I was like, wisdom power and love.
Imagine there's no heaven.
It's easy if you try.
Brotherhood of men.
Still do.
Every time I hear Imagine.
by John Lennon, I think of Mark Ruffalo
sing his little bit for the fucking
the imagined video the celebrities did during
COVID. Well,
Brotherhood of man. Well, Mark Ruffalo,
it's, I mean, he holds
the secret, you know?
The secret to success.
He was also, like, in my opinion, he was the glue
that held that whole video together. Without
Mark Ruffalo. The Incredible Hulk movie?
Because that was Ed Norton
in that. No, the
imagined video that all the
celebrities made singing during
COVID, if he wasn't in that, that would have been the huge cringe fest. But because he was in
it, it kind of tied it all together and it was inspirational. And Galcadot. Oh, absolutely.
She organized it, right? Wonder Woman. The Wonder Woman. She's awesome.
What is that? Stop, man. You're getting me excited for a conversation and then nothing happens.
Stop, dude
Don't make those gestures
Like you're about to like go into a fun conversation
And then say nothing
Okay
Go ahead
Well, I was just gonna talk about
Because we brought up, you know, Wonder Woman
Have you seen Wonder Woman too?
Starring Pedro Pascal
As Wonder Woman?
No, no, no.
He shaved his mustache for that role
And he's on record saying
And I want to get your opinion on this because I think it's an interesting quote.
He said that he will no longer shave because he doesn't like the way he looked in that movie.
Really?
Yeah.
Pedro Pascal, the world's sexiest man.
I'll tell you something, man.
I cannot imagine him without a mustache.
It just goes to show that.
Does it look weird?
Even the sexiest of men can be down sometimes.
yeah they can they can be down for some uh some fun stuff if you catch my drift
sex yeah i got that yeah i got that yeah okay i just i wasn't sure if you if you if you
if it was clocking to you no i i it was clocking to me okay but pedro pascal you know
pascal pascal pascal he uh we're this we're if we mispronounce it it's not a racist dog whistle
it's not like an intentional racist dog whistle so Pedro Pascal
Pascol so this guy is uh you know where I first saw him was uh narcos
yep my first saw him in Game of Thrones no I thought because didn't you come to like
Aaron's place to like when we watched a Game of Thrones yeah I yeah I sat in the other room
by myself but like he wasn't in those later seasons but
Yeah, I remember like
Because he wins in a rock off with Satan
He wins
A spoil, do you fucking spoil it?
I'm sorry for anyone who hasn't watched a game of
He plays in a rock up
You said he wins
I'm sorry for anyone who hasn't seen
Game of Thrones
This guy right here
I didn't mean to spoil the fact
That Pedro Pascal's character
Beets Satan in a rock off
And
and gets ownership of hell
And becomes the new devil
And gets a soul back, right?
Yep
And a new guitar made of gold
do you think that would have been a better ending
like people would have been happier with that one
for wonder woman too
no for fucking Game of Thrones
oh for game of throes there's
at least then it would have been like
even more kind of like
huh they did their thing
it would have been historic
yeah for for someone to woof
like woof it that intentionally
you know what I mean like imagine
if like all these like you got to think of like all these actors reputations the directors the
showrunners and then all the people's jobs on the line like that work on set it's like they all
just agree it's like yeah we're woof in this yeah we're we're creating bullshit i would love to
see someone do that we've talked about it on the podcast before like if we ever made uh a movie
just have it end in like a stupid way we're like the movie would be famous then because it's like
have you seen this movie?
Because it's like, you know,
it's really good for like the first three quarters.
And then all of a sudden it, I don't know,
you just got to watch it.
It really, yeah, it feels like two different movies.
I'm just imagining like the directors.
It's like, guys, Mr. R.R. Martin,
he just wrote the finale.
The script is here.
And they get it and they're like,
okay.
He references his,
Pedro Pascal's character, but like now in the book, in parentheses, it goes, looks similar to Pedro Pascal to make sure that it's solidified, that he looks like Pedro as well.
But in the Game of Thrones universe, a portal opens up and one of the characters sees into our universe for a moment and sees Pedro Pascal, so that way it's canon that they know what he looks like in that universe, you know?
Then it makes sense.
God, honestly, dude, if George R, R, R, R, R, it's three R.
George R.R.R.R. Martin.
Yeah.
If I think he could do something incredible and he could stick it to all his annoying little fans and he could just woof it.
He could just write the most bullshit ending, but it's canon because it came from him and it's a part of the like, like canonical series.
I think that would, that would earn a little bit of respect back.
Because it just sucks that he's probably not going to finish this beloved long-lasting series for a large portion of like the fantasy fan base.
So at least give them a bullshit ending that they can laugh and maybe have some sort of can you believe that happened, you know?
I mean, it would go down in history.
Like everyone would, you know, kind of like with the Sopranos ending, it'd be one of those things where everyone, you know, 20 years later, 30 years later is still talking about it.
Everyone remembers when you...
Okay.
Can I pitch you another Sopranos ending?
Yeah.
Tell me what you think instead.
Okay.
Okay.
So they're at the diner.
He goes and uses the restroom.
Onion rings?
Sure.
Yeah, yeah.
He goes and uses the restroom a quick.
He comes back out.
He slips on a banana peel, mid-slip cut to black.
Last thing you...
Like, the, the, whoop sound is like as it's cutting to black.
Yeah.
It cuts the whoop.
It cuts the whoop.
off.
Like, what?
That would be fucking incredible.
Sopranos spoilers, by the way.
Holy shit, man.
I'll tell you.
People were not happy.
Well, some people were not happy
with the way Sopranos ended.
I fucking loved it.
I know how it ends,
but I've never seen the series.
I knew how it ended before I started the show, too,
because I saw it on YouTube.
Just a famous ending.
It's very famous.
Luke, I am your father or whatever the fuck.
That's not the end.
actual quote or whatever you know uh i think he says luke no he says no i am your father yeah
yeah um to his son a j uh it's it's a great ending though it's son a j yeah that's his name in the show
it's star wait what in soprano yeah okay okay okay dude i need to rewatch sopranos that show
is fantastic i uh i watch the whole thing in about three weeks dude talk
Tucker, I told Tucker, I was like, dude, you got to watch Sopranos.
And he's like, okay.
Up into the last episode.
Yeah, he started watching Sopranos and he binged it.
He's like, I love this.
And he watched everything up into the last episode.
And then he was saving it because he wanted to, I don't remember why.
It was like his laptop wasn't working well or something.
And he wanted to like wait until he could watch it on TV and just forgot and never watched it.
So he watched the whole series up to the final episode.
and then just king yeah i've had some that's some king shit that was bad as darwin though with the
curse that's honestly the worst watching the finale first dude i don't yeah that's insane that's what
he gets for watching it illegally or was it like watching the first episode and then the finale no you
watched the finale is the first episode we told we told uh our social media boy darwin well not watch
the show he didn't i mean you should still but like it just kind of take
so much out of it. We kept telling him like he would like it. We're like, dude, you got to watch
the curse. Because he had never seen Nathan for you. He watched that and was like, this is
amazing. And then he watched the rehearsal and he was like, this is awesome. And we were like,
you got to watch the curse. So this is what he gets though for illegally, like not supporting
the show. He went on some like website to watch it illegally. And the numbag. I know. And
the problem was, I think it was numbered. So it's like zero.
I don't remember what it was, but basically they were misnumbered or something.
He clicked the finale thinking it was the first episode of the series and watched the whole thing and was so confused.
And then he started the first episode after that and was like, what?
He's going on.
And then after like the first episode, so he watched the finale, even the first, he texted me, he was like, this is like, this is like.
And then he was, when he realized.
And honestly, he should still watch the whole show, but.
with that show specifically if you watch the finale first it's it just because the fact that it's a show
like if it was a movie because movies only two and a half hours like if you had the twist of a movie
spoiled for you that I feel like that's fine like it's you're not putting in that much time it's
two and a half hours at most probably but for a show it's a buildup it's a buildup it's a long
fucking how many is it like seven eight episodes 10 episodes yeah it's 10 episode buildup each
episodes ranging from like 30 to 50 something minutes so it's like there's a lot of time invested into
that so it's like if you have the twist or the big moment happen and like I can't say anything
because I don't want to spoil anything but it's just like it's it's I don't know even saying
there's a twist kind of spoils and I feel bad not even a twist it's I wouldn't even call it a twist
My thing about the curse is I'll just say I've never ever seen a show or film or a piece of media that did what this did.
I would say that it's just kind of like.
And it's worth watching.
I wouldn't go into it being like expecting a twist or anything like that because I view the finale.
More is kind of like, you know in a movie how you can tell like there's this 20-minute
segment where most of the budget went to?
It's like you can tell the finale like most of the budget went to the finale.
At least that there's, that's how I feel like, no, like I feel like, I feel like half of the
budget went to the finale.
Well, another, I feel like.
And I like the grandioseness of like, oh, you're building up to like this, this, they're,
There is a payoff.
The finale is a payoff.
And it's, I was, dude, that's, you know how, like, when you show a friend, a show or a movie,
and you know, but there's, like, a big part coming up, and you're just, like, kind of, like,
I don't know if you do this, but for me, I'm like, I'm, I'm getting excited because I'm like,
what's the reaction?
I can't wait to arise.
When we watched the finale together, I was just like, ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
And then I remember you were just like, what the fuck?
Dude, I went deep down into kind of, like, interpretations of it.
and all that just because like I was interested the because upon first watch like you know the
the themes of the show are there and have carried through from beginning to end um but it's
it's I don't want to even have a spoiler section of this podcast so like I it's hard to
it feels wrong to spoil that show yeah I don't it I want to I want to be careful in talking
about it anymore because we've already, like, built it up.
Yeah, I don't want to build it up.
It's like, guys, there's a big twist.
Yeah.
I mean, obviously, it's the finale of a show.
Something happens, but, uh, it's a, it's a very, very interesting finale and for an
interesting, it's not your atypical finale to a show that you would just think.
Like, I, it's, I don't want to say anymore.
I, all I would say is, uh, if you like Nathan Fielder, or.
or the Safty brothers.
I would say if you,
if you're looking for something to watch,
just try,
just go watch the curse.
It's on,
it's showtime,
so I don't know if it's on like Paramount Plus or,
I think Amazon,
if you have a prime membership,
you can watch it.
I'm not sure.
The pacing,
I'm not going to say,
it's weird.
Yeah.
It's not like,
when I,
when that show came out,
I was expecting a more like,
I guess traditional,
pacing or whatever in cinematography and it's it's across the board it's weird uh and it's very like
off putting and makes you feel very anxious it's its own thing yeah like i can't say like you know
there's a lot of uh crime shows out there numbers criminal minds law and order above cssi all that
stuff like i can't really put this in a category of show it's like its own like thing hey and
the main pirate from captain phillips is in it yes
he is the one that says look at me i am the captain now i love to see that he's like still in shit
too and stuff that like we're still watching yeah just like stuff that's thrown onto like i'm sure
he's like a c s i spin off yeah yeah yeah stuff that we wouldn't see other than like seeing like
it brought up on social media he's like he's still working look it's like he's actually in the
media that we still consume well it's funny there's it's kind of this full circle moment because on nathan
for you there's a moment where he do you remember on nathan for you and i think the first season there was
the security guard who was like obsessed with large breasts.
Yes.
So they tried to make a reality show.
Is it a show Patis in that episode?
Yeah, she is in that episode.
But Nathan tries to make like a reality show about his obsession with breasts.
And they go and they pitch the pilot to like executives.
And Nathan tells him to like do some small talk about the industry to get like to show the executive that like he knows stuff.
And the fact that he says in like the board room meeting was like, you know, actually the pirate from Captain Phillips.
after the movie, he couldn't get any more acting roles.
So he just went back to drive.
He's just driving taxis now.
And he's like, interesting.
So it's kind of funny, full circle that they talk about that in eighth of view.
And then in The Curse, he, see that he gave him another actor.
Because the guy, because the guy likes acting.
Yeah, he's great, too.
He talks about it, too.
Like, he, he's in good time.
He has, most of the interviews that I've seen of him was when he got,
because whenever Captain Phillips came out, a lot of,
people had their eyes on him because it's like who is this he wasn't an actor no he was um
wasn't he just like some guy they found like i don't remember but like i thought he was a local right
yeah i think so and he wasn't an actor but he he did a really good job they did a large
casting call of locals maybe i'm getting the story wrong but i could he either was like he
either was literally like freshly plucked from somalia or he was living in new york city
driving taxis or something and they found
I don't know how they found him but then
after that I know that the
Safdi brothers used he was in good time
remember he played a security guard during the
carnival part and then they
pour like an entire bottle of
LSD down his throat
and he's like freaking the fuck out
when I saw that scene I was like fuck dude
dude I hate that scene because
like that would fry your brain
forever and
and like they don't know what's going on with
him and they're like strapping him down and
I hate that
But that's probably why they got him for the curse
Because he was in a good time
Which is a fantastic movie
Okay, so
You know, like me
I got some truths mixed in
With some non-truths
So they did have a large
casting call
But it was held in
Minneapolis, Ohio and San Diego
There were like 700 can't
Like it was a huge fucking casting
but they were intentionally like they sought authentic Somali Americans for the roles
and the final four were chosen for their natural ability and ability to perform well as a group
so like they were specifically like wanting to cast Somali Americans or like people like
they weren't you know it's not just uh they need a they have a Chinese character and a
script and so they go through a casting call of Chinese Korean you know like it's
it's it's they want very intentionally when well also um not to the extent of getting locals yeah but
well Minneapolis if I'm not mistaken I feel like I remember learning at one point that
Minneapolis has like a really large population of Somali immigrants uh or some some city in that
region of the country has like a really big Somali population uh so that probably would be why they
did the casting call there uh but captain
Phillips? Great movie. Sorry of my head
I went back to like yeah
casting call like in Somalia.
Like they're like
Pirates come on a lady. Hey pirates
We're looking for pirates.
I mean if you're a real pirate that's all right
but for this it's fake.
You're not actually going to be robbing a cargo ship.
It's crazy
there's still pirates out there. Yeah.
But you know they're
not
they're not
peg legs.
They're not yo-ho. They don't have like
parrots or monkeys and stuff. They have fucking motorboats and machine guns and
tank tops and it's not cool. They should at least play
loud classic pirate music from a megaphone or
something as they're rolling up. Like imagine Captain Phillips when like he
sees them approaching and like they come over the radio. Like you can just hear like
in the background just like
you they're playing like the Pirates of the Caribbean theme
theme of the black pearl
like I wish Somalian pirates
would at least just play into it and just at least
dress up yeah like when they're
going to fucking like rob an age ship
or something it's like put on an eye patch
you know put on the hat I don't care
like you could still have your machine guns
and you know do whatever you got to do
but like I don't know just play the part
put a fake parrot on your shoulders
think of the changes in marketing that would do for them
you know like you know
people view them as as
villains because they're in these motorboats with machine guns, AK-47-looking things.
That's scary.
What they need to do is maybe have, like, a big blunderbuss, and they're, you know,
they're putting, like, forks and, and, like, dirt and gravel and a bunch of other bullshit.
Like, old classic pirate shit.
Just clanging off the side of the cargo ship.
And, like, you know, they got...
You have cannon balls.
Dude, that would be awesome.
I mean, just, thunk!
On the side of, like, a modern...
vessel. Could you even like, if you shot a cannon at a at a cargo ship, what did that even
fucking? No, go, boom. Yeah. Like, that would be cool, dude, honestly. I mean, aim for the
deck. That's true. And don't, come on, guys, don't aim for the deck. Listeners, I know you
might partake in some piracy on the high seas. So, uh, off the, uh, horn of Africa. So
don't do, don't do that. But that would be so cool if they played into it. Like, a
A flintlock pistol?
Ooh.
Fuck to AK-47.
They're wearing like beautiful red and like gold-tasseled shit.
Yeah, dude.
The big old hat.
And imagine.
With a feather the size of your head?
Exactly.
Exactly.
Two of your heads.
Stacked on top of each other.
That's how big the feather would be.
That's a big fucking feather.
Like Captain Hook and Peter Pan.
Imagine, uh, you know, they got the fucking muskets.
So like, they're trying to shoot at the ship to make them stop.
Because then Captain Phillips, they're pulling up going, pop, blah, blah, but they got to do the thing with, like, they pour the powder into the barrel and then, like, all that shit.
They get a harpoon gun and they have to, like, swing from, and they, well, they have to, like, crank this giant hole up, launch a harpoon so then they can swing from it to the, to the deck.
And they're holding, like, what are those, not cemitars?
What are those swords called?
Like, Arabian swords?
The one that's curved?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, they have, like, semitars and stuff.
of honestly man like if there's any Somali pirates listening take note because I'll be
honest too if I was a like the you show up in the news more often yeah and if I was the
pirate if I was the captain of like a Maersk you know cargo ship if I see a motorboat coming up
with modern pirates I'm gonna I'm gonna be like oh no these guys are gonna kill me I'm scared
but if I see them rolling up and I pull out my my binoculars and I look and they're dressed up
like pirates? Well, let's hear them out. I'd be like, guys, let's parlay with them.
Hold on. Parlay? Let them up. Let them up because this is interesting. This is, they're not
going to harm us dressed like this. Yeah. So, that's our advice to any pirates out there.

Well, a little company called IndyCloud makes THC that's pretty epic.
And by epic, I mean, it's legal, it's delicious, and it actually does its job.
IndyCloud isn't just another Canemus brand, it's an online dispensary.
Fully legal, by the way.
Put it in all caps, Luke.
L-E-G-U-L.
Legal.
They've sold over 10 million gummies, mountains of flour, and other THC products.
They are a hit.
And don't worry, all the products are tested in DEA certified laboratories.
And it ships straight to your door.
There's no sketchy dispensary runs,
and you actually know exactly what you're getting.
Now, Matt and I love our THC.
And not only that, we love THC from IndyCloud.
The gummies are delicious.
The flower is magnificent and beautiful.
And might I say, it's super fun.

Ford was built on the belief that the world doesn't get to decide what you're capable of.
You do.
So, ask yourself, can you or can't you?
Can you load up a Ford F-150 and build your dream with sweat and steel?
Can you chase thrills and conquer curves in a Mustang?
Can you take a Bronco to where the map ends and adventure begins?
Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right.
Ready, set, Ford.
How did that sound in high quality?
How did that sound in high quality?
clicked on. Yeah, probably, dude, because
I mean, fuck, dude.
I'm over here. People were hanging
by a thread just from the first part of
this podcast. They're like, pirates?
Fucking, like, this is crazy.
That, from over here, I didn't even hear it in
high quality, and that upset
me.
I just think that we have such
high quality equipment that we should be
using it to the advantage of
capturing high quality sound
that's other than just
our voices you know no i i actually i i agree with you i actually take back what i said about
that bothering me because you know we get better ones of these too of the mic flags yeah absolutely
why you take it off if you want can they be like can they be like the news broadcaster ones
where sometimes they're like puffy and foam puffy and foam don't they have someone's that are like made
out of foam where it's not like wood oh oh you mean where it's kind um
I know what you mean.
It's not foam in the way I'm thinking of foam.
It's like the outside's smooth, right?
Squishy, almost like a stress ball.
Yeah.
I know what you're talking about.
Yeah.
Yeah, we can probably get those made.
Do you want to take these off?
Because you know what I noticed?
Every day we record the podcast, always later in the day I notice, I have a huge red mark on my knuckle.
Look, see?
You see that?
Because it's just sharp.
It is.
Yeah, I'm taking it off.
Goodbye.
Look how freeing this is.
I like this.
Shit, dude, this feels so much better.
We felt like, honestly, may I just say, we just took the boxes, the super mega boxes off, what are they called?
They're called mic flags.
So for audio listeners, you know, like news microphones, how they have underneath the part where you speak into the mic, they have the box that has like the logo of the news station or whatever.
We have those with our logo on it.
But they're very sharp around the edges.
Very sharp.
Like, I have red marks on my finger and it hurts.
It chafes me
And this feels fucking free
Dude these mics also
Like having this much room
Just a hole
Like to squeeze this much of the shaft
It's fucking awesome
No Ryan put the pop
No
Put that back on
Make me pussy
Actually you know
I'll take my pop filter off too
Get fucked
No more pussy
Pop filter for me
Motherfucker
So
You want to talk about some
Shit
Okay
That's
Dude, look at the wave, look at the waveforms.
Y'all, that,
y'all are hurting our ears.
I'm not watching this anymore.
Fuck.
Have you thought maybe the views are lower just because we keep,
over time, over time,
just every time we do some heinous shit on this show,
three, four, five people go,
I'm done with this show.
And then over time it just adds up.
Yeah, but I think it's more, uh,
more has to do with our opinions of the European Union, which we should, well, we'll get into that
in the, uh, in the after show. Do you, I, I can't get over how good this feels to like hold the
no, like, without my like my skin kind of being like scratched slightly. Just having this much
space to like grip. It's like, um, it would be like if you're, if your penis was suddenly
extended by like two or three inches and then you, you held it in your hand for the first.
time right that would feel amazing yes so it's kind of like that um we're less than a week
out from ghost of joseph i get the name wrong it's yote yote i don't know why i keep saying
joseph joseph yote what's up dude ghost of yote yote the reviews have come in and you're not
reading them no well i read them so let me tell you all about it so basically what if i just
started going off like all the real actual facts just like the all the plot points uh the only thing
i've heard is like it is a very safe sequel which i don't i don't mind if it's more of something that
i enjoyed but we'll see i i have to i have to play it but they weren't saying it they were saying it
as kind of like a positive and negative do you like uh do you prefer um
I guess in sequels, or it doesn't have to be sequels, but do you prefer a safe thing versus a risky thing?
Like the curse, for example, very risky.
That was not a safe way to end a show.
And I don't even know how they pitched that to the network, because that is such a not safe way to end to show.
I definitely, I think definitely risk because that promotes innovation and you always want to see innovation and the stuff that you like consume or enjoy.
At least, I do.
But it is risky, though, because it can be...
I agree.
I like risk more than the safe, you know, bets, but I sometimes risk suck, too.
Yeah.
Like, sometimes they just fall flat.
But whatever.
What's an example of when that's happened?
I'm trying to think.
For me, there was this movie that, and like, I'm not saying it's awful, but there was
this movie that came out.
It was a comedy.
It was about, like, the turn of the century and electronics and the, you know,
the year 2000.
Y2K?
Y2K. Yeah, it was about Y2K and a virus.
I wanted to see that.
I started killing people.
And like for me that like, it was, it works better as a, uh, S&L fake trailer than it does an actual
movie.
Like I, I, I enjoy the fact, I enjoy a lot of the people in it.
And I enjoy the fact, and I like the fact that movies like that exist, just for me,
it fell flat and I didn't enjoy it.
Um, but yeah, that's, it has Kyle Moon.
in it as well
Yeah, I like him
And he's funny
It has
I can't remember the actor's name
He's from It
He plays
The main kid in It
Yeah, I know who you're talking about
And then they have
I'm so bad
With like the new generation
Of actors name
The one who played Snow White
In the bad Disney
Live action
Where they made like a bunch of
Dwarve CG characters
Little monstrosities
I
They made minions
out of, out of, out of, out of dwarves.
The overusage of, of CG is, it really pisses me off.
And let me get back to this real quick.
Uh, I think for me, a movie that took a risk that I did not like at the time,
maybe I'd have to rewatch it now, would be, uh, tin cloverfield lane.
Well, that one, because you start reading the backstory of it, and you see that they did
make concessions with the original, um,
Plot.
Yeah, the script.
They bought the script.
And just the original vision.
And they screwed the end.
J.J. Abrams went,
like aliens.
I don't know.
J.J. Abrams literally was like, oh, he bought this incredible script.
The original script is so much better.
The ending is like great.
Like, the ending's great.
And he took the great ending and went, actually no.
We're going to, uh, aliens.
It's not even like a restructuring of the ending.
It is just like all,
alternate ending what if this movie i love back when movies had alternate endings where it's like
y'all didn't like solidify like a wrapping up point for this like y'all shot multiple endings
oh on like DVD yeah you get like the budget they have like with an alternate ending yeah it's like
most of the time alternate endings though were kind of like uh shitty marvel type endings where
it's just like a little gag at the end or something like that but i did the idea of it's funny
I think that one of the things that upsets me the most about like modern movies is the overuse of
CG when it like for things that don't need to be CG and they do it because it's cheaper I guess
which in my mind is kind of crazy because I feel like like maybe it is really cheap I don't know
but there's a lot of stuff that you can always tell when something CG like yeah we're still
in 2025 with how good everything is
we're still not quite there
where unless it's for like
a movie with an insane budget
you could still tell something CG
even though even if it looked good.
People took the time with pre-production
to like plan out things
and the like the lot I think of like
you know it has not
it's aged kind of all right
but like I think of Peter Jackson
in the early Lord of the Rings
or Spielberg with
um Jurassic Pops
Park in the 90s where they were implementing
CGI to kind of uplift
the practical effects
that were used, which is always
and I think a lot of people, you
probably agree, is like the best way of
CGI to be used. It shouldn't be used
as like an excuse to
not support artisans
and like have
pre-production time because now movies need to be made
quick and fast. And it's cheap. It's cheaper. It's like
oh, instead of having to do
some hard shit on set with some practical stuff or whatever we'll just have a these guys just make it
figure it out in post yeah and you know it can look really good but you could still tell it's
CG and uh that always takes me out of it um there's this like Netflix has this on like all of their
content there's this like digital glossy cleanliness to this new age of like film I don't know if
I can't really explain it other than that, like,
I can tell when a Netflix show is a Netflix show
because it's this, like, faux realism
where most of the time they are filming on these either blue screens
or these new kind of LCD screens,
which are interesting technology.
And by the way, when I was looking for sets to book for our last sketch,
did I have one of them?
No, I found a studio that has that, though.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.
I mean, like stuff like that is cool,
But, like, it adds to this, like, overall...
I remember going, like, behind the scenes and extras on DVDs
and seeing, like, these people had to travel to some location
and film on location, and it was, like, people are getting sunburnt.
People are running around, like, getting, like, getting tired,
like, being on set, depending on, like, you know,
sometimes it was, like, in a desert location.
Sometimes they're filming in the fucking cold, and everyone's freezing.
But not to say that people...
need to suffer, but there was this kind of like environmental age, this, this environmental
aspect to filming on location that's lost a lot these days to where it just feels, you can
feel the fakeness through the screen.
Yeah, and I don't want to sound like a, like a film bro or like a, like a, I guess it's
like there's something about when they go out and do that.
it's almost like you
there's a sense of appreciation for like
the art of it more right
where it's like like Lord of the Rings for example
they went out and they shot that shit
like in New Zealand
like I forgot which character
maybe it was Orlando Bloom but like he had to
be in a fucking like rapid
river like almost drowned
and I feel like nowadays like they're not going
to actually go out to New Zealand to go shoot
this stuff it's going to be on a soundstand
stage on with like a blue screen like what they did for the hobbit it's like it would still
look really good it's the production differences between lord of the rings and the hobbit right
whereas like lord of the rings had all like a lot of practical but mixed with cgai to up like
lift it up and i and i get it there there's obviously in movies there's a lot of stuff that you just
can't do without cg i you know it's like there's a lot of stuff where it's like there's no
way to do it practically the thousands of orc soldiers all being cg i in the original
lord of the rings like that that like of course you're not going to get like a hundred
thousand extras to stampede like that's just a hazard i actually watched it behind the scenes of how
they did that and it was really insane were they mix real with yeah no how they the orc stuff i
saw behind the scenes of how they did it and it was create like an a i type of thing where like
they were like they were it's like it was like a simulation where they didn't have to individually
animate each orc in a sense like running type of thing i don't remember i just remember seeing
them basically like creating
these groups and then
like duplicate it I don't know
it's been a while I just remember seeing it
because we had the DVDs
it's got to pop up on my YouTube recommended now
heard you talking about this on the podcast Ryan
I love when the algorithm throws me some
bullshit that's like I told you recently
you threw me Leroy Jenkins
dude that's awesome it's still on my
recommendations I need to watch it to get it off
my recommended
algorithm is
one of the most insane
fucking things ever
and I love it
I'll get recommended
I'll live stream with two viewers
and sometimes I'll jump in
like on the Super Mega account
and just like go and chat
and be like what's up
and they'll be like
what the hell
and then I'll see a check
yeah
it's fun
but yeah
it's a
CG is a great tool
I just hate when it's
overused
to
cut corners
where
I feel like it just kind of removes
some of the
some of the magic.
I don't want to, yeah.
Because like what I was
what I was gonna say
to kind of like backtrack just a little bit
for me
the why I think why
I personally find
going on location
and stuff magical
is because it's what we did
as kids with our little video cameras
with our friends.
We went out into the woods.
It's that just taken up
to the nth degree.
Yes, you know.
That's a great way to put it.
That's the, that's where it's like there's this like nostalgic magic that I find
and like, oh, you can like go out with a big budget and get this stuff done.
There's something that's fun and adventurous about it.
And I know that like, I guess on a, this is us speaking from our own like having fun making
things.
And I guess on a corporate scale, it's different.
But at the same time, it is, there are people on all these movies that do have passion
and do actually care about it.
um you know like even movies that are you know pretty corporate corporately like funneled down into
the final project it mostly comes down to the big wigs yeah i feel like there are always still
people that really do genuinely care about what they're making and they want it to be as good as
possible which is heartbreaking because so many like artisan jobs in filmmaking are now kind of like
getting left behind right like i think there's a there's this thing where it's like
Hollywood doesn't have too many
good wigs anymore
like there's no good like
there's not as many like
artists and like wig makers
and stuff like that
I guess I guess that's funny
because it's like
the necessity
has gone down
because of CG probably
and back in
I don't know the 90s or early 2000s
they weren't going to
see any one's hair
so they had to just
the wig's actors had in like
like early like I think like for me I'm I'm instantly of course thinking of oh I can't remember
the director's name but it's the um Brad Pitt and Gary Oldman uh Dracula movie where it's like
they like Dracula has this very ornate get up there's a there's a Brad Pitt Gary Oldman
Dracula movie or maybe hold up maybe I don't know if Brad Pitt's in it but Gary hold up let
me Gary Book of Eli were Brad Pitt's blind dude that that
twist at the end of Book of Eli.
I watched that at my friend Christian's house
in like eighth grade.
But like Gary Oldman in this type of shit.
Yeah, dude, I love that hairstyle.
You know?
I told you.
That's fucking like, that's a good wig, dude.
I really want to do a short film with you.
I told you where it's like the,
with the facial prosthetics that kind of look like the max headroom shit.
And I want like the hair to be crazy
and like the facial features the idea,
but all practical.
And hair like that.
That's fucking awesome.
I would just like character to have hair like that.
Absolutely.
there's just so many interesting and not to say that like I mean there are this is not a conversation about there's nothing interesting being released we just had a whole conversation about the curse which came out this year there's tons of great stuff still being made I guess I'm saying more from um I'm speaking more from a like a fan of watching stuff yeah and of movies and from a big budget corporate standpoint right because like for the movie studios like the big ones I watched Wonka recently
I still haven't seen it
I will get into this
and my, it's actually
Wonka's the reason
I kind of thought of this in the first place
so after these
this little commercial break
I'm gonna talk about Wonka

It's Wonka time, baby.
Yeah, it's time to get wonkid.
You promised the people that after ads, if we had any, if we had any, I meant.
We might not have.
Might have been no money for us.
You were going to talk about,
Not Paddington, although it is the same director.
Wonka.
Yeah.
So when I first saw the news...
Take it back to like when you were a kid.
Give people context.
Okay.
When I was a young lad, I watched...
Willie Wonka in the chocolate factory was the original.
And then Charlie in the chocolate factory was the Johnny Depp.
Okay.
Willie Wonka in the Chocolate Factory.
I watched that a lot as a kid.
kid love that movie very nostalgic with jean simmons yep that would have been awesome
that would be fucking awesome uh but yeah uh i loved that movie very special place in my heart
the song pure imagination still to this day is one of those songs that when i hear it just
you get elated i do get elated it's like such a warm like ah word of the week
by the way, elated.
Mm-hmm.
The definition's right there.
Yeah, but...
I mean, it makes it easier for us.
Exactly.
We don't have to look shit up.
Thank you, Luke.
But then I read the book by Rald Dahl.
The book's great.
More like rude, doll.
Come, Ryan.
Come on, man.
You got to stop with that.
You got to stop.
stop with that.
I'm so serious, dude.
I'm so, I'm just disappointed.
Where the sidewalk bends over.
That's Shell Silverstein.
By the way, I know you're gonna say he looks creepy.
He does look terrifying, dude.
You always have to be like, that creepy bitch.
No, there's nothing creepy.
Like, he's not a creep by, I love Shell Silverstein.
He was an incredible human being.
But the pictures of him, like, on the back of his book, like, just Luke put it up.
It's just kind of scary.
I will say he does look like a, like a, kind of like a, I would, like a 40s Russian scientist.
You know, I could, he has that vibe, I guess.
But instead, he just wrote whimsical poetry.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, but I read the, I read the, I read the, uh, Willy Wonka at the Chocolate Factory.
The book, fantastic book.
And then Charlie and the Chocolate Factory came out when I was a boy.
I saw that in theaters.
I loved it.
Made me uncomfortable.
Really?
Yeah.
Why?
Because the Willy Wonka in that movie, to me, when I was watching it.
No, he was just kind of like, I know that there's a shared similarity between the Wonka's having like ulterior motives and kind of like acting weird.
But there was a difference where like in the original, the betrayal of Willy Wonka, there was a, there was still like a warmness and fun.
like this was a real person
like even when he got angry
it was scary because it felt like
your dad or uncle
or someone of a authority figure
that it's like oh this person
who I thought was nice
is like this is weird
because he's sweet
yeah he's warm and sweet
but then when he's angry
you're not gonna like him when he's angry
no but then in like with
in Charlie in the Chocolate Factory
my
vibes as a kid I guess of the betrayal
was just like
it just seemed like this
there was something
something truly mentally unwell about, like, this man.
It, dude, that's, I couldn't say it any better.
Like, in a weird way.
Like, yes, in the original, he is, like, crazy and coo-coo.
He's coo-y.
But, like, yeah, there's still this warmness.
He's, he's struggling with a mental illness.
It's like, if I took my kid to that factory, my hands would be on their shoulders.
And they would be, like, with me next to me at all times.
He was like, we'll go there slow, we'll walk, we'll see.
I mean, bro, he had, he basically had, like,
kind of like the berries and cream haircut.
Like, it's like any grown man with that haircut, I'm sorry.
But, like, it just, like, it, I'd have to do research.
Because I don't know if this was, like, the person who wrote it
and Tim Burton as director, like, kind of envisioned Wonka in this way,
or they just let Johnny Depp do his pirates, like,
work his magic like he did with, um,
Jack Sparrow
Because like he
Cisorhands
Yeah it's like
These character
He creates characters
And it is a character
I will say
I guess like the best vibe
I could
He reminds me of
In that movie
He reminds me of a guy
That would have been in like a
Like a scene
Band in like
2010 that has a lot of allegations
Yeah
Like and you're not surprised by it
It's it's also
Because it's like
It gives off slight
Oh what's his name
let me figure out let me let me find the actor real quick he's in back to the future i just
watched that the other night and he was also in this movie jamie fox no no no he was in this
movie where he like controls rats crispin glover yeah i love like that me too but he gives
off crispin glover energy and particularly particularly crispin glover in in like kind of like
his facetiousness and like maybe in some ways deservedly so but
his facetiousness when talking about, like, the back to the future and stuff like that.
Um, because he doesn't have decent memories because he kind of got, oh, he kind of, he did, he got
fucked over because if, I don't know what. I haven't seen him talk about back to the future. I just
I've seen him performing back to the future. Well, he wasn't in two. Oh, he wasn't. No. I, I actually
was about to watch the sequel. Did a model of his face. Oh. Like printed it out and put it over
another actor. What? And used his likeness. So like he does have like, um, um, he does. Um, um,
um he does have probable cause for uh being pissed but like you know how like when people are mad
about something they'll have like this like no but it's good like vibe to it but it's not good
yeah that's that's what willie wonka that's willie wonka's vibe in charlie in the chocolate
factor it's like we're all happy here it's like but are y'all like even the umpa lumpas
seem like a little more miserable and less like it seems like it seems like
they're in on something like nefarious with him yeah and like in in that movie johnny
deb's character like he's the type of person that like uh i would not uh want to have a firearm
they're gonna subpoena willie wonka in charlie in the chocolate one hundred percent he's
involved in something he might have flown on a plane or two yeah i like so but jir elon was on
the list i did i saw that just released is elon still coming that was a
essentially the gist of it.
Guys, is Elon still coming on the
plane with us? To the
Pryl Island? Is he still coming?
Oh, no, he didn't though. In 2014?
In 2014.
He didn't.
Didn't he? Did he? I don't know what came of it.
No, I keep telling. Not Diddy. It was Elon.
Oh, okay. But basically,
all this to get back to Wonka,
all right? Because you wanted my, you wanted the backstory.
Of course. Here we are at Wonka.
When they first announced a new Wanka movie, I was excited.
And then they said, oh, it's Timothy, little Timmy T or C, sorry, Timmy C.
Chalamey.
Timothy, it's Chalamette.
And I like Timothy Chalemet.
I do a lot.
Sorry, I got to correct you because you just corrected me.
It's Shalamette.
I'm an idiot.
You literally just correct.
I know, but people say it wrong all the time.
So it, I just thought like I should call you, if you called me out, then I got to keep you in check, yeah, just as in check as you do me.
I appreciate you keep me in check. And I appreciate that you thanked me because I think we both.
No, and I, and I appreciate that you, you respect me enough to keep me in check as well and that you, you appreciate when I keep you in check.
I think that's, it's healthy. Yeah. But Wanka, when they announced it, I was like, this is why. Why him? This is ridiculous. And then when the first people,
pictures came out, I was like, wow. And I knew it was going to be not good. So I watched it.
And the very first thing I noticed about it was, it was just, it was so corny. And I mean,
it was intentionally corny. But like in a fun director of Paddington way. Or like a charming and
endearing way, at least. You're talking about when you watched it, not your reaction of the
trailers no this is the movie itself okay it starts um on like a ship and tim and tim are they
opening credits uh i just i don't think so you know very few movies do that yeah they stopped doing
that with like the credits in the beginning kind of sucks people should get credit more like
suss i think there's an imposter among us but it starts on a ship and you know timmy timi
Timmy C is a theater, theater kid at heart.
And that he is.
He does his little theater kid routine and he sings.
And it's not bad.
I just think that he was not the right.
I don't know.
It feels, it just feels like Timothy Shalham met.
Yeah.
And it feels like, okay, it feels like, am I supposed to,
I kind of wanted to laugh and I'm like,
but am I supposed to laugh at this?
Or is it trying to be like,
whimsical and serious or is it like is everyone who made this movie in on it against me like are they laughing at me for having to just watch sit through it like is that vibe and the cg was like not bad but it was very obviously cg like the ship like everything and i was like that's what made me think of it and i was like this would have done if this movie had more practical stuff the whole movie was cg really everything was cg like even like in there's a part where
they open up their his first candy store and it's uh kind of like the predecessor to the factory
where it has um like a like hot chocolate river like and there's all the candy plants and everything
and like it's all cg and i'm like if that had been practical it would have just felt a lot
better because you can tell it's cg the budget went even if it looks good there there is this like
with movies and because we had this conversation with cg
there's this as we talked with the curse there's this theatricality of putting a large part of your
budget in a specific thing or moment and if that means like a big grandiose like kind of like
set with this fountain because like for me when I'm watching a movie it's not like oh that's a cool
looking fountain gee willickers it's like how do they do that that that that's that's actually
incredible that they manage to like make something like that is that real and that's like a lot of the
magic of the first Willy Wonka in the Chocolate Factory movie is obviously they didn't have
CG back then. But a lot of the magic is when they first enter the like candy room in the
factory, right? And it's this massive sprawling like landscape of everything made out of candy
by the way. What? Same with epic movie by the way. Yes. Because there was no CGI in that scene as
well. Wait, that was all practical, wasn't it? I mean, you got to give them credit with credits too, right?
They had a lot of different sets.
They had a pirate ship that they rented, like off off of some harbor somewhere.
Epic movie.
I got to give, I got to give them credit to credit to do.
We got to watch that Uncle Sleepover.
Have we not?
No.
Did we only do it?
Did I only show you that for fun or something?
I don't remember seeing it since I was in middle school.
Have I never watched that together?
No.
Dude.
And I remember from the trailer.
You know the pirates, what of the Caribbean?
So classic.
I remember laughing my ass off at like he's drinking the chocolate river and he's like,
that's the sewage.
I thought it was so funny.
Kevin Hart's in it.
Sign me up then.
Kevin Hart's performing in Saudi Arabia soon.
So is Bill Burr.
Dude, so is Gabriel Iglesias, aka Fluffy.
And all I'm saying is you and I could go vlog
seeing Gabriel Iglesias in Saudi Arabia.
If we wanted to, we could do it.
You're right.
That is a possibility within...
All right, I'm going by myself in Ryan.
That's a possibility within the realm of possibility.
Ryan, what are the odds?
I have to fly to Saudi Arabia by myself
and go see Gabriel Iglesias
and go support a
blood money regime?
Yeah.
Which I guess
No, I'm not going to throw anything out.
Ryan, repeat after me.
There's no ethical consumption
under capitalism.
So I can go watch Gabriel Iglesias
and laugh myself unconscious
in Saudi Arabia
and feel no guilt at all.
I just remember
Pete Davidson's going to be there too.
I'm there for Fluffy
Man you know some of them got paid million
Like Bill Burr
They're not bringing in so much fucking money
They knew there was going to be a big backlash to this right
So it's like
For those who are unaware
There's a big comedy festival
With a bunch of big comics
Like Kevin Hart, Dave Chappell
Bill Burr
Bill Burr
Gabriel Iglesias Pete Davidson
It's just weird
It's like it rings a bit hollow
With Bill Burr
His uh
That one upset
Like his comedy and his schick
The rest of them I'm like
I kind of
Not that I expected it
But it's like
Yeah
He goes on like all these talk shows
About like how evil billionaires are
At least I don't know
He seems
Maybe we'll get into the classic
You're taking him out of context actually
But it's like
The vibe that I got from him
Was like he was kind of
just like, fed up with billionaires,
fed up with their selfishness,
fed up with, like,
kind of like how they can just treat the country
as like some sort of online game playpen for them.
And Saudi Arabia is like a perfect example of billionaires.
Dials cranked a tent.
Just fucking just going nuts.
Al-A-Garcs be crazy.
Yeah.
Like, dude, the Saudi, dude, the royal family,
who, that's some money.
Now, they sent me.
Maserati to stop talking about, you know them.
Okay.
And they sent me a punch buggy used.
I said if they sent me a Maserati to stop talking about them.
Who knows?
Maybe I'd stop talking about them.
Well, they did send me a yellow punch buggy.
And you're still talking about them.
It felt almost like an insult.
Tip for tat.
Okay.
But I'll tell you.
That was in benefit of you.
They hit you.
You hit them back.
Yeah.
Take this Saudi Arabia.
I feel like Bill Burr would be the, like, I just feel like he would be the one that would be, like, I could already see the clip in my head of him talking about this fucking ridiculous comedy festival and all these comedians selling out and going to Saudi Arabia for all, like, this blood money regime.
Because it's all the usual suspects of comedians you would expect to.
They don't surprise me, but Gilbert did surprise me.
And Louis C.K., come on.
No, like, there's, I think there's someone else who surprised me.
Dave Chappelle, I didn't expect that out of him.
Is he going?
Dave Chappelle, yeah, he was right next to the logo.
Let me see.
I don't even know what the comedy festival is called.
I'll get Darwin to Photoshop you and me on there and get him and tweet it out.

Why'd they throw it to
They should have
Kind of like
gone to like a scenic
But they just
Throw it back to Chris Tucker, he's like...
I'm just to come back from that.
Literally, the best part of that cliff,
the best part of that cliff is
Mike Myers delayed reaction
where he goes, he like looks to the side.
And then like, he's debating if he should say something
and then it cuts.
That is such like, that's one of the best moments.
Show it, Luke.
