Well, one of us is going to have to change.
It was just cold in the office, and this is all we have.
I mean, there's the woman one, the super mega with the woman.
You know, I don't wear things.
Split out.
Yeah, true.
And also, I text you, well, I email you my outfit choice.
I email you know.
I email you what I'm going to wear the next day every single day.
Well, you send it to my work email.
So, like.
It's work.
Yeah, but who checks their work email?
What's the last time you check your work email?
Probably two weeks.
But, you know.
You know, I can check actually when the last time was, Ryan.
It's probably two weeks.
On Google administrator.
You can see the last time someone's logged in.
I've logged in and I've probably like scrolled through,
but I haven't like gone through emails because most of the time it's just stuff being handled.
Yeah.
It's, um, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,
done. Normally I would say the actual S word, but stuff. Yeah. We'll say that's the word that we can use. That's
what we'll use now because it's early on in the episode. Stuff's getting done. Can we say it like right after
the intro? I think after the intro, enough time is probably passed, especially if, I don't know if we
have a pre-roll ad. And if we have a pre-roll ad, then that's even better because that puts more time
between when I finally drop the S word and we can make a pre-roll ad.
To take up some time.
Yeah.
Watch this.
I'll just, and it can be the thing.
Picture, um, okay, now picture this.
You know, do the, uh, like Arthur, when you imagine something?
And now it's like a, like a cloudy kind of thought space, you know?
Like a white vignette.
I'll picture this, okay.
And then my, my voice echoing whenever you picture this.
I'll send a silhouette of a, a black silhouette of a shirt.
New, new shirt drop soon.
Tomorrow?
Don't say that.
Maybe tomorrow.
All right, go to the intro.
Dude, I was...
When I was editing last week's episode,
I was getting very frustrated
because I'm sitting there...
Not at you.
At us.
Because I'm sitting there and we're like,
Luke, add this and this.
And I was like...
Now you know how Luke feels.
I do.
Are you just like, I just want to get this done?
Yeah.
I was like...
I was like, I'm not doing that.
Really?
No, no, no, I did the edits, but it was asking for, like, Luke's opinion on, like, what's his favorite?
So what was your favorite?
Something's favorite.
I actually put that it would be revealed in the future episode.
I put, I put that this is Matt editing this.
Okay.
Luke is not here, but Luke's favorite will be revealed in a future episode.
I don't know how many people are going to.
I guess it keeps them plugged in, right?
It's suspense.
It's a cliffhanger.
Well, it also wouldn't be right of me, too.
I believe the question was I said,
I said, Luke,
uh,
you're kind of off screen when you,
oh,
sheesh,
sorry.
I,
I,
I,
we said to Luke,
we asked him to put his favorite gift of,
um,
oh,
uh,
Cynthia,
I forgot her name.
She's in Wicked.
Your,
Luke's favorite reaction.
Cynthia Rivadirchi.
That's it.
And,
um,
uh,
it would be wrong for me to lie.
And,
because I thought about maybe when I was editing in last week's episode,
I was like,
I could put one in.
that could be like, pretend like it wouldn't be Luke's favorite.
And I didn't, you know.
And everyone already knows your favorite.
Throw it up.
This is it.
And Luke, you know, Luke is out of town right now.
Peru?
He's doing like, he's reading a series of unfortunate events and he's going to the places mentioned.
And in the second book, the uncle went to Peru to study snakes.
and so that's where he's left off.
And he reads up until they're in a different part of the,
or they mention a different part of the world,
and then he'll travel at that point.
Which is a very, it's a cool concept.
I wish they he'd asked for the time off before just leaving.
Like Tucker in that instance, except, you know, Tucker's not employed.
Right.
You know, Tucker's a grown man who, you know, we don't technically employ.
So if Tucker wants to just leave the country at will,
he's nothing stopping him.
Luke, you know, it's like, oh, you know, series on fortunate events.
It's cool.
You know, you know, you rediscovered those books.
It's a great series.
I didn't like the Netflix adaption that much.
I stopped watching after season one.
I didn't watch it at all.
I remember when I was a kid and the Jim Carrey one came out.
I was so excited because I was like, yes, they're going to make it, all the, like,
they're going to put three in each movie and they're going to make all the movies.
then they only made one movie
and I was really disappointed
Well I didn't like it at the time
Because it was like
Because I had read the books
And it was very different than the books
And they kind of rushed through some stuff
And I'm like, ah
What?
So I was kind of like disappointed as a kid
But I later watched
I probably watched it
Less than a decade ago at least
And I remember I was like
You know
Not connected to that
Not getting mad
It's a cute little
comedy film starring Jim Carrey
and kids.
That's actually what the poster said.
I only know...
Jim Carrey and kids.
I only know one of the actors
went on to be the
sucker punch girl.
The girl in sucker punch? The blonde one?
The main character.
Did you ever see sucker punch?
Zach Snyder?
The game studio
sucker punch? Creators of
infamous and Sly Cooper.
That one first. Not in
infamous.
Boy, infamous is pretty.
I mean, they made like three infamous.
It pisses me off.
Because growing up, I was a huge fan of Sucker Punch because of Slicooburn.
And then they'd make this other game about a bald guy.
And did sucker?
No, insomnia acted Spider-Man.
What is, what is sucker punch?
Sucker Punch is doing fucking, uh, ghost of, uh, Sushima and Yote.
Great games.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I forgot.
Ah, they, they, they have a great track record.
There's a lot of studios where they don't get those, uh, that,
rock star attention but they just have released nothing but bangers dude i have to give sucker punch
honestly like the biggest uh round of applause a huge round of applause honestly because when i was a kid
i was such a big fan of the sly cooper series you sent him a letter and they sent you a demo
like two they sent me a demo disc of three three which was like i was i didn't even ask for that
i was not expecting that i literally i wrote like a handwritten letter to sucker punch asking about
for like information on Sly 3 and they literally responded with a really nice letter and a
demo disc for my PlayStation that literally was just a demo of like different parts of the game.
Maybe you should write them again and say, hey, I'm just, you know, I wrote you back here and you
sent me, you know, this, they probably still have the record of it.
Dude, but like, I honestly, they probably don't do that kind of thing anymore.
But like that as a kid actually getting from the game company like a disc with a,
A teaser of the game was like,
that was the most insane thing that ever happened.
I was for the executive sent you.
Well, we don't have to necessarily, you know.
And some Polaroids, right?
Uh-huh.
It was settled out of course, so we don't need to even...
Whoever the executive was at the time,
throw up his picture!
Or her picture?
More likely his picture.
That's his.
His picture.
He's going to be like, I'm suing you for defamation.
You're alluding to the fact,
we didn't allude to nothing.
Those Polaroids were alluding.
They were more than alluded.
Yeah.
The Polaroids he sent were.
Very direct.
I'm sure he's a fine.
If he still work, do you think that the...
Who is the...
I guess the showrunner?
The showrunner of a game is just the director, the game director.
Yeah, I actually don't know how that stuff works with, like, how does a game director work?
Because obviously I know how movie director works, but like, in terms of a game, it's a very different media.
with a very different production process.
So how does like a game director...
I feel like it is a showrunner role
because from what I...
You're just kind of overseen?
From all like the little documentaries
of like making video games and stuff,
it seems like the game director
is like the person in charge
helps with riding the tone of the game
and all that.
Make sure that it's coming across
throughout from beginning to end
and it doesn't feel disjointed.
It'd be cool to direct the game.
But it's definitely like...
It is an interesting role.
where I guess it's like with a game director,
I don't know where the creative liberties begin and end.
You know, it's like, are you more like just kind of organizing everything
or are you actually like you have like the final say so
in the creative direction of things?
I'm sure it changes depending on the studio.
I know at least for, I know there's a bunch of different roles that I would be passing over
because I don't have that much knowledge of the game.
There's similar to movie roles.
It's like executive pretty sure.
But Neil Druckman, who did, I know he did like The Last of Us Part 2 and some other projects at Nottie Dog.
He was like the kind of charging or the voice that was just kind of like he was talking to everyone through animation to storytelling to like in every facet of it.
He was like making sure things were running essentially.
Okay.
I wasn't sure if it was like a role sometimes that's.
like completely creatively disconnected and it's filled by someone that's more of like an executive
position that doesn't have a creative mind and they end up kind of just like bungling the whole thing.
That's our boy at, um, uh, what, CI games. That guy has nothing to, he has some, he has some leverage.
Yeah, he has a love for sexy, beautiful women. What is it? Merrick. Merrick. Merrick. Good old Merrick.
Diminski. He, uh, he is one of those examples, I think of like,
he's not a games director, but he's an executive.
I think he's like one of the lead executives or the executive of CI games, whatever.
CEO, maybe.
Are they playing something up there?
It sounded like someone dropped like a knife.
Yeah.
There's no scuttling for the knife, so it doesn't seem to be anything of,
that we need to go rush up there for it.
Because we're trained in CPR.
And they...
Not to close a wound, but...
You could use CPR to close a wound.
enough pressure enough enough force in that wound will seal itself what was i talking about
uh merrick timinsky oh yeah yeah i love that you remembered his name his whole name
oh well i specifically i remember it because in the i was the one that like kind of like had the beef
with them yeah you well you i showed him to me yeah like we don't have a beef back and forth i'm just
like i just find his his musings on on x the everything app to be
entertaining and like a cringe way.
Corny, but not in like a corny like, like, ah, it's cheesy.
Corny and like, it's like, oh, come on, man.
Yeah, it's like, what do you do it?
No, I remember his name because in the, you asked specifically for him to be included in the
peanut sketch we did as one of the people that like followed.
It's like, Blank followed you.
So I had to look up his name and how to spell it because it's weird.
So it for some reason just stuck with me.
But he does have some like control.
still because like he changed it to be body type A and B to male and female.
It's what the Twitter poll.
The X, every, the, the X poll said.
X?
Yeah, he didn't poll the people who played the game.
He just pulled random people on, on X.
Dude, I remember when Elon put a Twitter poll and was like, well, democracy,
will let the people decide.
Should I step down?
Yes.
And everyone overwhelmingly voted yes.
And he deleted the poll and then put the poll back up because there, he, there was a
problem with it.
And then he, everyone voted yes again and he did not ever do anything.
Bro, like, Elon is, uh, he's now fine-tuned X to be just like for him.
Like he truly has just, oh, I love this.
This is my paradise.
You know what I've noticed.
Everyone who thinks like me.
Oh, this chud the builder guy.
I love him.
I don't know if you've noticed this on X the Everything app, but it seems like a more recent change where algorithmically, if I,
look at a certain topic, like if I look at a couple tweets about UFOs, oh, algorithms
within within like I'll refresh, all the tweets will be about UFOs. Like it now feeds me specific.
Like it used to, I feel like it would put that stuff in my algorithm if I looked at it a ton
over and over. Slowly sprinkle it. And then if you were obsessed, it would show you a lot more.
Yeah. Now it did literally like I can look at two or three.
retweets about something and then refresh and they're all about it. It's like that on TikTok too.
Really? Yeah. That's why it's like it sucks because I get roped into it too like hate watching
stuff like watching stuff that like makes you angry. It's because it captures your attention. I'm not watching it.
You could turn a hundred and one downmissions off anytime. I'm not like no but like I'm not
purposely like seeking out this stuff. It just happens upon me and I just you know you get enamored by like it.
You get reeled in.
Why is this asshole successful for for spewing hatred and being in it or whatever?
It's like, nah.
Did you ever watch, um, it was, I want to say this was like maybe 2019 or 2020.
It was a documentary about Cambridge Analytica and Facebook and like kind of just the way their algorithm was like revealed to work.
And the one thing that was like the,
I remember the big revelation from it was that
the thing that drives the algorithm is rage.
That's like the one,
over all the other emotions,
because that was what got people to engage the most.
Well, it's watching it.
And then they comment on it.
So, I mean, it's designed that way.
When you open your feed,
it's literally designed to show you something
that's going to piss you off.
But that's, that's, it just sucks because,
and I have a friend who has kind of figured out a way
to not necessarily like skirt past all of it
but it's like the moment like let's say like a
fucking
celebrity snark subreddit
happens upon you know the feed
it's like oh wow this headlines whatever
and you look at it and you look through the comments to be like
what are these people even talking about it's like oh my god
this community's insane
but like instead of going down that rabbit hole
you just see that you know that it's not for you
you don't take the bait and you just block the subreddit
and then you'll never see it again
and you just do that subreddit by subreddit
until you just have a mostly clean feed.
When Reddit changed their algorithm
to make it so your feed included suggestions of subreddit
awful.
It sucks.
And dude, for some reason,
the only ones I ever get recommended
and I don't visit these subreddit
so I don't know why they're...
I don't upvote shit?
No.
There's no commenting.
Or slash DoorDash for some reason.
That might be a sponsored one.
No, no, no, no.
It's like three or four subreddits, all related to like DoorDash or Postmates,
where it's the drivers getting really mad about stuff the customers are like being,
they're like, am I in the wrong here?
He didn't tip this, but, but, and it's just like, I don't know why that is recommended to me nonstop.
I don't seek it out.
I've never looked it up.
Is it like under popular?
No, it's just, it's like, you may like, R slash DoorDash.
Ugh.
So, maybe you were looking up.
Maybe.
I've never looked up anything on Reddit, like,
my DoorDash driver was rude.
What can I do to make him lose his job?
What can I do to kill him?
Yeah, exactly.
Can I legally kill my DoorDash driver if he,
if he steps on my property and I feel threatened?
I don't know what he has in that bag.
Can you?
Could be my food.
Could be a gun.
I mean, where's the lie?
It's like, it's like, it's Schrodinger's cat,
whatever the fuck that is?
Youringer's McDonald's bag.
Yeah.
You don't know if there's fries in there.
Or a gun.
Or a gun.
Could be both.
Or a Glock.
One of those Glock pistols.
Oh, he shot him with a Glock pistol.
Glock.
That sounds German.
Is that German?
Glock.
Sounds like Glock.
Glock and spiel.
Glock and spiel.
Hand me the Glock and spiel.
Dude.
I'm bringing the Glock and spiel to the phone show.
You have to.
these days. I'm gonna let that thing ring.
I'm gonna let that fucking Glock and spiel
ring, baby. Hell yeah. I thought a Glock and
this is embarrassing. Isn't that
an instrument or something? It is an instrument.
What's embarrassing is that like I
as someone who makes music
I didn't know what a Glock and Schpeel?
I thought it was like
Do you know what it is? Is it like
I really don't, I'm gonna get, can I guess?
Yeah. And you tell me how close I get to it. This might make me
feel better. Okay.
is it a
is it like an instrument with a bunch of bells and stuff on it
is it percussive okay
it's like a bell okay so it's a
yeah so yeah very good
for some reason dude like literally until very recently
I thought a Glock and spiel was
like one of those horns at the soccer games
no um do you know what the this instrument is
you probably don't know the
name, but I was confusing it with, it's like a wooden block with, like, ridges, and you have
like a little stick and go, it does not sound like anything like that. What they used to do for
like sound effects and stuff, like that thing? I've seen this thing where it's like a saw
and like they, no, it's not for sound effects. The sound I made is literally nothing like the
instrument. Aguarnica, maybe. I don't remember, but we literally learned what a Glockenspiel was in
like elementary school and music class. Well, it didn't stick apparently. It didn't. I knew that it was,
It's not a series of bells.
You could have several Glockenspiels.
You could have like a whole contraption,
like one of those fantastical machines
that you...
Willie Wonka uses to make chocolate,
which I finally saw Wonka on a flight.
Okay, guys, we got to get a quick commercial break,
but when we're back,
we're going to hear Ryan's impressions of Wonka.
I'm just truly trying to put this off
because I don't want to hear this.
No, you don't.

On my new show, funny you ask, trivia starts the conversation and then things immediately go
off the rails. I ask a question. My guests think they know the answer. Sometimes they do. More often,
they do not. And then the conversation takes a turn. One trivia question turns into stories about
career highs, painful bombs, and behind-the-scenes moments that probably should have remained private.
You'll hear confidence, misplaced confidence, bold guesses, wrong answers, quick laughs, and the
slow realization that maybe this was a bad idea to say out loud. If you like smart comedy, sharp
conversations and trivia that exists purely to melt people's brains.

producers. It's a weekly roundup of all the most important Marvel news so that you can start
getting excited about the MCU's next big movie or series before there's even a trailer out. What
should we expect? Not just from this bays or saga, but the next one too. Part of the fun of the

why we make Snake Peak. Listen for free on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
So, I read, I walk at me, brother. Okay. Um,
Wonka ties me, Captain.
I recently saw Wonka starring Timothy Chalamee on an airplane flight.
Now, I have...
Best environment to watch it.
I have been kind of putting it off.
I even, I think at one point said, I'm never watching that.
I can confidently say I don't think I'd ever find myself in a situation where I'd watch that.
Erigantly against this movie, and it pissed me off.
Even though it's from a director whom I do enjoy, the director of Paddington 1 and 2...
I got to say, I was actually in the same, like, wavelength about that movie as you, though, because I had no interest in seeing that movie.
It looked corny.
It looked stupid.
I'm not a big fan of, I know you.
I am now, you know, I've turned around.
I've stopped being such a little jealous has been.
Less jealous, still it has been.
But Timothy Chalemay, he just grinded my gears for some reason.
I didn't want to see him whining a boot on.
on the movie.
I've seen him do that one too many times.
I'm tired of this sullen little boy on my screen.
Which,
to be,
he has taken more different roles lately.
Yes.
Which is refreshing.
And I like him as an actor.
Yes.
He's a great actor.
Yeah.
He's talented.
Yeah.
Son of a bitch.
It sucks,
dude.
So he's so cute and handsome.
But I saw it honestly,
the only negative thing I will,
I have to say about.
about it is that I felt like the third act was stretched a little too long.
But other than that, I thought it was a very charming, fun little film.
That's kind of exactly how I felt.
The oompa-lumpa stuff, although I will say it does that line up with what happened in the movies or the books?
That he owes the oompa-lumpa's coin?
It honestly does sound more like something that actually would have been in the book.
I thought he just rescued them from an island because there was this like monster that was eating them.
This is the origin story.
Yeah, but I heard nothing.
But he steals the umpalumpa's chocolate, doesn't he?
Like the source of it?
He takes one of the cocoa beans, which only three or something like that grow a year if they're lucky.
Well, that's honestly really awful of him to do.
Well, he didn't know he was stealing one of like the heart fruit of their island, a cocoa bean.
Maybe they should fucking grow more.
I don't know.
But Hugh Grant playing like a small CGI Hugh Grant orange.
Very interesting.
Very interesting choice.
I think my favorite part of the movie is just all of the little inn slash washroom stuff.
Where like Olivia Coleman and I don't know who the actor is that plays like her buddy,
but he did a great job.
Like everyone's doing a good job.
Keegan's in it, getting all fat and shit.
It was, um...
He got so big he could barely fit in his uniform.
That's right.
He could barely fit in his gosh dang car.
He got so big.
That's right, dude.
Fucking chocolate.
Fucking pig.
He was corrupt.
He was.
He was accepting bribes of chocolate as a police officer.
Yes, he was.
And then he blows up at the end.
Does he die?
Does he blow up?
Why do I remember that?
No, they all...
Like he inflates or something?
No, they all start floating up.
And then that makes it so they can't run away from the law.
and then it's just like, oh, they'll come back down
and we'll arrest him.
Okay.
I will say the part didn't blow up.
Okay.
For some reason I like have it.
He wulens up and like everyone's covered in chocolate.
I thought he ate like too much chocolate.
Because you know, he keeps getting bigger.
He keeps eating chocolate.
And you know what it is?
It's because the end has the,
all that liquid chocolate everywhere.
Well, they try blowing up Willie Wonka.
They try drowning him in mold.
like boiling chocolate.
They do that and then they put them on a boat and blow up the boat.
I forgot about that.
Yeah.
They actually are just like, let's kill them.
I know this sounds stupid as hell.
And maybe I wouldn't like it if I wasn't on an airplane.
But I have to say, Matthew Watson, I thought it was mostly an enjoyable time.
A cute little, like I'd be, it's one of those movies where I go, it's cute.
Yeah, that's exactly how I felt.
It's like, would I watch it again?
I have no really, uh, maybe in.
like 15 years, but if I'm at a friend
Salasant's movie night, like your friend has a kid that hasn't seen it.
Exactly. I'm like, and it would be
rude of me to object to like what the kid wants to watch.
Yeah. Because the friend would be like, oh, I forgot about this. I saw this
like a decade ago. And if I objected me like, I don't want to watch that.
And the kid wants to and my friend would be like, dude,
it's not four years. Well, then it's, you're making them. You should give the
friend the ultimatum. Your kid or me or my friendship, which I've been around a lot,
longer than that fucking kid.
If you put that fucking movie on, I'm out of here
and I'm never coming back.
No, I'm serious.
It's gonna be mean.
And then you gotta call him a bitch to really make it
sting.
The kid.
I gotta call the kid a bitch.
Yeah, exactly.
You wanna watch that movie, you bitch?
Fuck.
Oh, you dumb little bitch.
You dumb bitch.
But I thought it was like,
going into it, I thought it was gonna suck.
And like, while not a spectacular movie,
I thought it was fun
because it didn't take itself too seriously
and I will say it was
it was a creative little spin
on Willy Wonka
I thought it was
it's interesting
that Timothy Shalameh was cast as him
I do have one note for Timothy actually
Sometimes
I got the impression
that he had no respect
for the movie that he was in
which I get
it's a Willy Wonka movie
but there were certain facial expressions
during the musical numbers
he was doing where I'm like
you're just being goofy
I do have to say
the opening shot of the movie
where the singing begins
The CGI is so bad
that my first depressed in the movie
I was like I was like
oh this is gonna suck
where he looks like he's like
Jack Sparrow coming on the top
And dude
Okay I will say the CGI in that movie
was pretty bad
Did you know
On a plane you might not notice
These days just suck
Why did it get worse?
Because it because they're just rushing it out
Like I feel like CGI
Like
there was a you know
Obviously
through the 2000s
was not
good, but it was slowly getting better.
They had specialists, rare specialists that were just like brought in to work on this new
technology.
Now, like, it's like, yeah, everyone uses it.
Schedules are fast.
Movies want to get turned around quickly for a profit.
It's like CGI used to, they tried to make it look real, where it didn't look like it was,
like the whole point was, you know, it's something that can't actually exist in real life.
So, or, or we're going to create it.
And, um, like with Star Skye and Hutch.
The viewer is not going to, the whole goal is that it looks real.
But now it's like, CGI has its own specific look where when I see it, it's like, that's CGI
and it doesn't even look real.
It looks gross and things.
Like, I'd rather there be, I know it would be more expensive.
But that's why I have so much respect for Hunter because he does a lot of practical effects.
Biden?
Hunter, um, Schaefer.
Just kidding.
Meat Canyon.
Meat Canyon.
Pop a meat.
He, he, he.
his new show that he's doing and
you can just go check the Instagram and then
what is it creature
creature kid huh creature kid
creature kid makes the stuff and it's just like
just go look at all it's just
insane work and it's cool to see
that people are still doing
whenever I see a practical effect
in the movie I get excited
because it's that's what's fun
about it it's like oh how did they do that
right what is the rig or
whatever um
I don't know, just, when it comes down to CGI,
unless it's like super impressive, like that's the point of it.
Like I'm guessing, way of water.
I was literally about to say the, which I haven't seen yet.
I watched.
No, you saw a way of water.
You didn't see Fire and Ash, right?
I haven't seen Way of Water.
I saw, I rewatched the first Avatar.
I was, it's weird that you brought that up because I was in my head when I was thinking of like good CG, an example was way of water.
It looks really good.
Because I watched Way of Water for the first time, like, two months ago maybe, and I was...
Oh, not that long ago.
No, like, very recently.
And I saw it for the first time.
And honestly, I thought I would not enjoy it at all.
I was like, it's going to be long, and I won't care about Avatar.
It's really good.
How's Jake Sully?
Jake Sully is still doing Jake Sully stuff.
The only thing about that movie is just...
The White Kid with Dreads?
You texted me about that.
Send me a picture of your screen.
Can you believe?
leave this?
I just
it was coming
looking back
it was coming from
a place of jealousy
from me
that I couldn't
I don't have
the hair quality
thickness or
anything to pull off
that they would just
fall right out
I'm glad that you're
being a bigger person
and an adult
yeah he's a kid
in the movie
doesn't he grow up
to be a man in the movie
he's like 14 in the movie
still
okay never mind
but he actually does
he does not look 14
but it's like fucking
it's one of the
who's the like Alan
the brother who did Tarzan
the Scarsguard who did Tarzan
they have him playing like
the 15 year old version
of this Avatar kid with dreads
dude that would be sick
I'd pay to see that shit
I wouldn't
in Alexander Scars Scar Scar
yeah what's the kid's name
it's some stupid shit
Ubatu
I was about to say
a huge spoiler by accident
I'm not not going to
watch watch
dude you'll really get a kick in
of water out of like the high beast haircuts that the avatar kids have it's so like the broccoli
haircuts it's very funny i wouldn't take images from that i'm just like wow or when he's like
wearing the like the like the avatar uh military commando guys with like the like sunglasses on and
like the buzz cuts it looks funny for me it's always the uh because i've seen it complained about a lot
too it's the haircut that they use for like a lot of male
black characters where it's like faded here and then kind of like done up at the top.
They did it.
They did it in like Marvel's villain Killmonger played by Michael B. Jordan had the haircut.
There's a famous in Valorant, one of the starting heroes, Phoenix or whatever, who was like,
I think he was the only black character.
I don't know.
I haven't played in years, so I don't know much about the new characters in that game.
But he was like the representation in that game and he had that haircut.
There was just a time where like that haircut, I think even Miles Morales in the Spider-Man
Miles Morales game or the sequel had like that faded with like the locks on top kind of
doing a veggie-tail thing, you know?
I know what you're talking about.
Where it's like that was just a popular hairstyle.
And I saw that hairstyle it looked like in the Avatar way of water.
And I'm like, man, there it is again.
There's there.
That one is in there.
And there's also the broccoli.
There's the broccoli cut.
Like the Jack Doherty haircut.
Like essentially like some, like, one of the characters in that movie is like if they just cast Jack Doherty as like an avatar teenager.
And.
Which I hope they never do.
Well, Billy Ilish might be in the next avatar.
Really?
James Cameron helped out with, uh, I keep seeing these clips of like, apparent.
So, you know how like there's always like, uh, Taylor Swift's done it?
There's been one with Michael Jackson, one director.
production, Justin Bieber had one, there's always been a movie based on a concert or a series of concerts or a tour.
I saw it in theaters.
It's like that, but except this is for Billy Eilish, and James Cameron's a part of it somehow.
They're using some sort of technology that hasn't been used before.
I don't know, dude.
He's got to stop with that shit.
It's like, just make a movie, man.
You don't always have to fucking, like, yeah, so we're doing this movie.
We're going to the bottom.
We're going to the deepest place in the ocean.
Which I haven't seen the abyss.
Apparently, it's good.
That seems cool.
I mean, James Cameron is a little adventure.
He's an auteur.
I got to say, it is, I mean, props to him for actually going to the bottom of the mariana trench.
That's very scary.
I would not have the balls to do that.
And the Titanic stuff was pretty cool, too.
It was, yeah.
And, I mean, Avatar.
Why can't we be James Cameron?
Dude, I remember what the ocean gate shit happened in James Cameron?
Just, like, came out the game.
He was like, yeah, he's an idiot.
So stupid.
So stupid.
It was like, okay, I do trust James Cameron's authority, though, on that topic because he's, for decades, dude, he's been like the guy that's like, yeah, I'm going to the bottom of the ocean.
Is he a marine biologist to an extent?
Maybe.
I just know he's obsessed with getting in a little fucking pod and going underwater.
He doesn't study fish.
He just likes going underwater deep.
He likes looking at some fish.
I'm sure out the little portal he sees fish and he's like, oh, look at that one.
Dude, actually the first people they ever sent to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, you're not deep.
Got crushed.
No, no, no, they actually survived.
But do you know how deep it is?
Billion millafete.
What's a millafoot?
You just made that up.
So it could be accurate.
It could be anything.
It could be exactly.
The Challenger Deep is the name of the deepest one.
How could you argue with that?
Like, I just create my own form of measurement and just say a number.
You have no way of knowing.
And why is it any less valid than the other?
Because how did those come to be?
Someone just said it.
They said, this is the measurement is how much it is.
Is it like two miles deep?
It's 11 kilometers.
Oh, my God.
Dude, think how fucking deep that is.
Jesus.
So they sent these two dudes down.
Can you go to China through the Mariana Church?
We shouldn't talk about that.
We'll go to add reads.
I'll go to the second ad reads.
Just get them out of the way.
We can do the rest of it.
Just save it for after the ad reads.
Unless there's something you want to hash.
Okay.
Just stop.
Don't bring up China.
Specifically digging holes to China.
Spoiling holes too.
We were warned.
It's the plot of the Holes 2 TV show.
Dude, if they let us do the whole, like a Holes remake, I would love to make it about they dig a hole to China.
It's about digging a hole to China.
They're just trying to find some other treasure that apparently there's a map and it's at the center.
It's like at the Earth's core.
It could be like a cross-up with Dwayne the Rock Johnson journey to the center of the earth, right?
Or it could be a crossover with Spy Kids and they could use Spy Kids type technology to help with the heat down there.
X-ray gets his X-ray glasses.
Yeah, dude.
So many people would go see that if we use the original cast.
That might be a fever.
That might be like the giveaway that we're in a simulation to a lot of people.
It's like something this ridiculous existing.
Like has it?
Redonculus.
What?
Redonculus.
I mean, has there any, has there been anything that redonculus since movie 43?
No, because movie 43 just set that bar so high that it was impossible to.
That's the new glass ceiling.
I mean, that, that's even higher than a ceiling.
I wouldn't even call it a ceiling because that can't be broken.
Stratosphere?
I mean, it's higher than stratosphere.
I mean, and that's why you and I are never going to make a movie.
824 just needs to give us a budget of
$5 million.
824.
Have you seen movie 43?
Or did that?
Or disaster movie?
Can we make movie 44?
I do.
I guarantee who's going to sue us for that?
If you have nothing nice to say, you can sit with us.

Hugh Jackman has balls on his neck. During a dinner. That was a real laugh for me. It made me laugh.
That's the whole scene. It's a whole bit. And sometimes he gets food on him and they still
wipe it and then they're sensitive. And meanwhile, Kate Winslet, who was in Titanic,
is sitting across from him going, oh wait. I feel like,
Or is it Hallie Berry?
Doesn't movie 43 have like a ridiculously star-studded cast for some reason?
As Johnny Knoxville, dude.
As a
There's a leprechaun that's played by Gerard Butler.
That's an insanely A-list cast.
That's weird.
Then they have the guy who played Sabretooth in the X-Men movies playing a dad,
and I can't remember who plays the mom.
I have to see this now.
From the Sleepover.
And they're homeschooling their kid.
So they're like, you know, first kiss with his mom and all that stuff.
It gets weird.
They had a great time writing that, I guess.
What?
Is that one of those movies that's two of the six writers of scary movie?
No.
Movie 43?
Movie 43 is, do you think any of those writers could get Hugh Jackman to put balls on his neck?
In my head, movie 40.
Come on.
Movie 43 is literally, I thought it was like just another, like, epic movie,
disaster movie, same series.
We're talking about the guy from the sheep detective here, okay?
Hugh Jackman.
Yeah, I know.
Everyone knows that.
Logan.
Deadpool and Wolverine.
Lars von Trier's The Fountain.
No.
Yeah?
Okay.
I don't know.
I just was reaffirming.
Is that one of Lars's?
I don't know.
Is that like Gustavo Frigado-Docchi's?
I don't know, these director's names.
Stop.
director's name should just be like
Eric Smith
Christopher Columbus is easy to remember
It's Chris Columbus
Well, what's his full name?
Well, that's true
Yeah
What were his parents thinking about that one?
Well, he ended up being a pioneer
He went on to direct the first
And second Harry Potter movies
And he backed out of directing
One of the Christmas Vacation movies
Because of what a big asshole
The lead actor was
Chevy Chase?
I didn't know they were gonna make
More of those
It was one of the holiday one
I think it was the holiday one.
Yeah.
Or maybe, I don't know.
Chevy Chase is a huge asshole.
Yes.
And he has a huge asshole.
We've seen it.
Yeah, it's massive.
It's dilated.
It still uses Skype, but I'm down.
It's one of the next time we're going to see Chevy Chase's asshole.
Probably next week.
Yeah, I mean, that's the only reason I get on Skype.
Chevy Chase is online and is calling you.
It's always the same joke, him spreading his asshole.
Blom, blah, blah.
It's like, oh, hold on.
Hold on, let me call you back.
Oh, Chabby Wood.
Oh, yeah.
She's like, spring.
It's like, boom.
There it is.
You just see him laughing and he hits the keyboard
and doesn't actually turn it off
and he turns around and sees him pecker.
His balls like slapping on the keyboard.
He's like, ah, and then he rushes to actually turn it off.
But he turns off his computer so it's just a freeze frame.
He falls off the desk
Forward Backs,
because his pants around his ankles
and he's fucking
knocks the wind out of himself.
Fuck, dude.
Oh, Chevy.
He actually voiced himself
and the family guy for bits.
For family guy bits.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
And pieces.
Mm-hmm.
You know, there's nothing cool about that
because Simpsons did that first.
Simpsons always have the actual person
play themselves.
So, sometimes family guy can't,
they have to get an impersonator.
Simpsons, on the other hand,
oh, they have Stephen Hawking in an episode,
even though it's a computer,
guess what?
Guest starring Stephen Hawking.
Whatever.
Michael Jackson, they took that one off streaming services.
Did they?
Mm-hmm.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, my God.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
He would never say that.
Oh, fuck.
He wouldn't say, you definitely wouldn't say that.
I love the clip,
so there's this one clip I saw recently of, like,
this woman, they're like,
he's doing an interview and I can't remember her name.
It's some, maybe some other artist.
But she's like laughing or something or saying something.
He's like, your voice is so irritating.
I've seen that.
But dude, if you have Michael Jackson, you could, you could fool you go away with that.
You just say that shit.
Your fucking voice is so annoying.
Like, what are they going to do?
Imagine hearing that from the king of pop.
Oh, I would want to die.
And rock?
There was no rock whatsoever.
That was Elvis.
Elvis was the king of rock, right?
Yeah.
Who's the king of rap?
Soldier boy.
Yeah, he is.
Not King Vaughn?
Yeah.
Not King Vaughn.
Fuck, dude.
But he's a king.
XXentatian.
He's my king of rap.
Yeah, he is.
Actually, and the king of R&B is low-tier god.
What about 6'9?
That's a king of music.
The king of music.
And Pete Davidson, king of New York.
He is.
You know, he has a kid.
something on the way or...
I don't know. I don't know, dude. I try to keep up
with every single celebrity's personal
life, and it's just hard these days.
They're so secretive. I know.
He doesn't even have an ex
account. Really?
I don't think so.
Pete Davidson? Oh, no.
Oh, shit.
Oh, fuck. Oh, I didn't finish what I was saying
about the Marionne Trench. Probably a good thing.
I'm kidding. It's gone.
You know, people just probably don't want to hear this.
Actually, though, this is terrifying.
They put them in this like ball essentially.
The people, the first people?
Yeah, it was two dudes that they like built this like...
Adam and Eve.
Adam and Steve.
They built like this big like just sphere that had a single window, like porthole on it to look out.
It should be dark black.
Well, yeah.
And then they lowered them on like a chain to the very bottom.
They're like, we're going down.
It took like three hours to get to the bottom.
And they get to the very bottom.
And when the window goes, just crack.
And they're like, oh, ready to come up now.
And they got, they got back up.
Dude, they were, they took like three or four hours to get back up.
I wonder how much pressure they were away from becoming SpaghettiOs.
Well, I'm actually just honestly impressed that way back then they engineered something that could withstand that amount of pressure.
Do you think, SpaghettiOs?
Do you think that's what happened with people on the other hand and like figured out what happened to Titan or whatever it was?
That's where all those SpaghettiOs came from.
SpaghettiOs.
Oh, oh, SpaghettiOs.
Oh, no.
God, I feel, like, I do, I feel bad for the son.
Yes.
The 15 year old or something.
I feel bad for that kid that, uh, and I believe he, he had expressed beforehand to his mom that he didn't want to do it.
And he was scared too.
And that made me sob.
Um, come on.
Once in a lifetime.
Come on.
Literally once in a lifetime.
They didn't, no pain.
It's honestly, probably the best way to die.
Hmm.
You know?
I was trying to think of other.
ways. Like that, it seems like the
sure fire, painless
fun. Do you see? You're at the bottom of the
fucking ocean? I thought you said a church fire. No. And I was like,
no. That would be a horrible way to die. It would feel like God
was mocking me. I'd be like, I'm in the house of God, but it's hell.
Dude, imagine, yeah, imagine people dying
to fucking church fire. It happens. I mean, yeah. And it's,
I mean, that's a great building to burn down. From their perspective, I'm sure it's
just, it's just, I wonder if anyone has in
that moment while burning alive become an atheist while burning alive inside of a church.
Just they're like, this is so uncool, God.
Yeah.
My church burned down.
I just remember that.
Jesus.
Well, I doubt he had anything to do with it.
He was kind of a, he was kind of a pacifist.
It was an electrical fire.
No, he wasn't.
He punched that guy at the marketplace.
He lapped people.
No, he didn't.
No, dude.
You can lie about Michael Jackson.
You can lie about fucking.
James Cameron, all you want on this podcast, don't lie about Jesus Christ.
I've just seen a lot of these debate dorks when they, when someone goes, what about, you know, the religion of love?
He's like, huh, you think this is the religion of love?
Well, Jesus threw a fit.
You think Jesus is a pacifist, er.
Yeah, Jesus, uh, nice try.
Jesus wasn't a pacifist because he was ready to, he was going to pass that fit.
He was going to pass this fist.
He was going to pass a fist.
It took me a bit to get there, but I got, I got to the, I see where it landed.
I yeah throw a punch it was good it was great it was it was good well I appreciate you being honest
I am speaking of Jesus Christ uh the other night I superstar I the other night I listened to
Jesus Christ Superstar hey I haven't on vinyl I you haven't seen Jesus Christ Superstar right I haven't
I haven't seen the movie there's a movie very famous yeah from the 70s David's
Bay, oh.
But it's like, it's like Jerusalem and stuff, Jesus time, but they have like modern stuff,
like electric guitars and vans and stuff.
Yeah.
It's very, it's very interesting.
That wasn't around in biblical times.
I know.
And I tried to get people to boycott this movie for that.
Is this making fun of Jesus or is it a celebration of Jesus?
I've seen it on Broadway.
That doesn't answer my question.
In fact, it's almost like you thought I asked a completely different question and then answer that.
Let's just say this.
when they crucify him and the lights go down,
they don't come back up.
There's no resurrection in this.
It's written by Jewish dudes.
Had people.
Damn it.
No, I think it's written by two Jewish dudes is what I remember my mom telling me.
Because I thought it was like a Christian musical when I was younger.
And it's not.
It's just like the drama of Jesus's life.
It's not like a preaching.
It's not like a production that's like a production that's like,
like we're spreading the message of Jesus.
It's literally just like the drama between him and like all the other people.
The disciples?
Judas?
Judas.
Yes, Judas is in it and he has a great song.
Do they kiss?
Honestly, I don't remember.
This was high school when I saw it.
But dude, have you heard any of the songs from Jesus Christ Superstar?
I have before, but I could not bring them to any, you know, I couldn't remember them.
Jesus Christ Superstar.
Are you what they say you are?
Close, yeah.
Something like that, right?
Who are you?
What?
What?
Are you? Wait.
Who are you?
Who are you what?
Are you?
Wait.
Who are you what they say they are?
Something like, yeah, who are you, are you what they say you are?
I don't know, dude, it's, it's, I get it.
Ha, sadiga, Ibuoy.
That's not in Jesus Christ Superstar.
No, it's not.
Could be good, though.
Could be.
But it's a made-up African language.
I believe.
Dude,
for the book.
What if you and I,
like,
rent to the theater
and put on our own
production of Jesus Christ
superstar?
With puppets?
We could.
Jesus puppet pals?
We could do that.
We could do that.
What's stopping us?
Nothing.
Who would come,
who,
show your excitement in the comments
if you would come watch
Jesus puppet pals.
Christ.
Then you'd see the,
you know,
our first live shows
with like a bunch of fucking people.
You know,
We were really million thousands.
We were selling out Madison Square Garden.
Cut to the picture of us at like the high hat doing a puppet show.
Okay.
People coughing and not paying us any mind.
Well, first of all, Ryan, there's nothing wrong with performing at the high hat.
There is it.
We've done it.
That was our, like, that was our first show, wasn't it?
No, is it just a bar?
No, they, it's like a comedy club.
It's like a Thai restaurant.
Oh, don't tell me.
It's an improv.
No, it is still a venue.
I think it's called the goldfish.
Yeah, that's no hi-hat.
That's right.
They change the theming in the shit.
They do have good Thai food, I will say.
They have like chicken wings, but...
Thigh.
Fuck.
I don't know why I always want to say...
Yeah, I don't know why I always want to say Thai food.
Taiwan, maybe.
I don't know where it's from.
But, yeah,
we got to be the first puppet show
to ever do Madison Square Garden.
And,
maybe keep your eyes.
peeled for an announcement for something that rhymes with
schmooper schmol
schmachmime shmow
The what? Oh
You don't check your business email
No
God damn, dude
Could you imagine though?
We beat Kendrick out for next year
Us at the Super Bowl halftime show
Doing fucking hand puppets
Ladies and gentlemen
Fireworks and shit?
It's just our voices
And the way it's dissipating
through the stadium, like, no one can understand what we're saying.
It's just like a...
Yeah.
That's how I'd picture it.
Like when Forrest Gump is giving the speech in D.C. at first.
Or like when we went up for Creator Clash.
Yes, exactly, to sing the national anthem.
And your guitar wasn't even plugged in.
They heard how good I was playing.
They didn't want me to steal the audience.
It was literally like in Forrest Gump where the guy pulls all the chords out.
Idubs, because Idubs is trying to launch his electric guitar career.
I shouldn't spoil that
jealous jealous jealous very jealous bastard
he's good at
no we've already had two
we can't have a third
do you need the pee
what do you need the pee
no oh I thought you're about the call for an ad break
no no no I was I was
I was saying we should probably cut that out
because I don't think Idubs wants us to
be spoiling that he's starting his
debuting his electric guitar
career soon
well it's not really an electric guitar he got a tattoo where granted just be i mean it only works because
his balls are so long that it can make up the base of a it's cool of a guitar it looks cool and red and
he actually it's it's it's acoustic not electric unfortunately well it's electric on the stem oh is it
so was it was it just red from from like the irritation then i thought it was an electric guitar
