Hey, so what did you want to talk about? Well, I want to tell you about Wigovie.

Wigovie? Yeah, Wigovie. What about it? On second thought, I might not be the right person to tell you. Oh, you're not? No, just ask your doctor. About Wigovie? Yeah, ask for it by name. Okay. When I was a young boy, I used to consider myself a bit of a horror movie connoisseur,

as it were. So Friday the 13th was a big day for me. But what I learned about myself is that I liked having a lot of these horror movies, but I didn't watch a lot of them. Like I had a big collection, many of which were on VHS tapes, like blank VHS tapes that I would record two or three on. Like for instance, I had like five Nightmare on Elm Street movies on one VHS or I would have like the first three on one and three more on the other. You know, and I that's just what I would do. I would I would set up two VCRs. I would bootleg a bunch of copies of movies like I learned

that from my grandpa. That's how I used to get all my movies. My grandpa would go to the video store and say I want Varsity Blues. He'd go rent Varsity Blues. Then during the day when he was at work, he would set up the two VCRs, set them up to record and then boom, I'd have my own copy of Varsity Blues and I was doing some living. You know, that's just kind of how things went. So I was really into horror movies. Or so I thought I had a bunch of them and then I would just rewatch like the same 10 of them over and over right. But I bring

this up because I see a list here the 25 horror movies to watch on Friday the 13th. I'm intrigued. What I learned though growing up is I'm not even remotely close to a horror movie connoisseur. I don't even know that I'm a connoisseur or like a diehard of anything. We talk about that a lot on here. Like when I was younger, I thought that I like shit, but really I just liked a certain bit of shit. But I'm not someone like if you just said, let's watch a horror movie right now and it doesn't matter what it was, I'd be like, I don't know, I'd have to kind of look into it. You know, back in the day, I would have been more readily just like plop it in and let's see.

But I feel like there's a lot that I didn't watch, but I know a lot about it because I read about the movies, if that makes sense. Let's see what this list says.

I actually want to watch this documentary that's on Hulu about the chick that does call her daddy, which has become like the biggest podcast, certainly one of the biggest podcasts out there.

I've never listened to a second of it, but I'm very intrigued by how this became a thing. I know that she was a barstool person, much like McPhee. If you get involved with barstool, you have a chance to build something gigantic. I can see why my guy T Bob A Bear left Baton Rouge to go. We haven't talked about that at all. T Bob, who I wouldn't say is like a friend. I don't know that I've actually ever met him, but I like T Bob and I've told him forever when I've had a chance to message him. I'm like, dude, you're a fucking star. And I don't say that about a lot of people because I hate most people. I think most people just kind of suck and exist. I

think T Bob is a legit rock star media personality and he's funny. And I love watching the LSU postgame shows that he and my best good buddy Matt would do. And it's great. And I always told him, dude, you're a fucking fucking star and then he left to go to bar stool and I haven't really seen any of this stuff he's done since then but I think he's phenomenal and and I just enjoy what he does but how the hell oh because I want to watch the Caller Daddy documentary but like he's someone like if you get in there right man you got a chance to be huge and if you ever want to

go out on your own like that's the thing about getting in with a bar stool. If you somehow can do that, eventually you get yourself big enough to where other people want to court you and pay you a lot of money and ultimately like the biggest thing that happened for Pat McAfee wasn't that he was a punter in the NFL and wasn't that he was doing stand-up which look I commend him for all of those things, but getting involved with Barstool. The same thing happened with the Bustin' with the Boys guys. Like they had a podcast and I'm sure they would

have been fine. Their podcast would have been fine, but it got involved with Barstool. Barstool is a star maker, especially in this era of podcasting, star maker. Portnoy is a star fucking maker and there's no doubt about that and you can go and look at what he's been able to do and what he's accomplished on his own but look at the number of people that are getting these opportunities to get their own podcast deals. I mean Bussin' With The Boys is big, Call Her Daddy is gigantic and Pat McAfee is gigantic and those people were boosted greatly from what they've done on Barstool. What Dave Portnoy has actually done is fucking phenomenal. I want to say there was an interview with him on like some CNN interview with him recently about how it all came to be. I mean I'm sure that there's a documentary that he's done for Barstool about it, but I mean, that's fucking phenomenal.

Anywho, but I'm probably going to watch that tonight. I watched the newest episode of Stick, which is a pretty good show. Again, it's nothing that I would say you must watch it, but it's fine and it's passable, somewhat predictable, but I like it. All right, let's see how many of these 25 best scary movies to watch. Like I always think I'm like a movie connoisseur. I'm some sort of aficionado. Then I see these lists of movies that you have to see and I'm like, I haven't seen any of these movies.

But let's see. 25 best scary movies to watch on Friday the 13th. How many of these have we seen? Let's see here. Number one, Cabinet of Dr. Caligari have not seen it. The Bride of Frankenstein have not seen it. Horror of Dracula have not seen it. The Birds I have seen. Night of the Living Dead I have seen. The Exorcist I have seen. Jaws. By the way, 50th anniversary of Jaws, there's way 50th anniversary of Jaws is a

documentary coming out. I want to say via National Geographic next month to celebrate 50 years of Jaws, which is wonderful. I'm going to guess it's going to be most of the same anecdotes that we saw in the documentary that came along with maybe the 30th anniversary of Jaws. I don't know because not much has changed, but I love Jaws. I love the story of Jaws and the fact that it's the first blockbuster. I love that every time I go to Universal and Hollywood and they take the tram tour that Jaws is still there. I think Jaws is still there. They did away with Back to the

Future obviously and a lot of the other shit to build like Shrek shit and Harry Potter Wizarding World which by the way on the Harry Potter ride I was too fat to write it when Jillian I went about ten years ago the guy was like I think I can force it shut and I'm like I think I'm just gonna get my fucking ass off of this dangly roller coaster Because the last thing I want look I don't want to die riding a Harry Potter roller coaster That's just not how I see myself going out. But anyway jaws Documentary coming out couple of fucking weeks. Looks awesome. Jaws. So out of the seven, I think I've seen four of these movies so far. Halloween, of course. Halloween being like the best slasher movie ever. Right? Like I don't like it's weird because

Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers, Pinhead, go down the list of these guys that had five, six, seven movies, like they all kind of get lumped together. But Jason is not Jason, but Michael Myers is really the only one that's truly rooted in something that had some sort of realism to it, right? Like Michael Myers could escape the asylum and go back and try to kill people and kill his family and shit. Freddy Krueger cannot be burned to death and then come back and kill people in their dreams. So automatically it's bullshit. You know, Jason could not, in theory, could have drowned, but

he could not come back to life even, I'm talking about just for the first one. It's obviously bullshit when you get like the 8th Halloween movie or the 8th Freddy movie or whatever. But like the thing about Halloween which makes it creepy and which makes it better than all of these movies even though I'm a huge Freddy guy, Halloween is at least somewhat believable and it was filmed

on a small budget and it was grimy but it wasn't grimy to the point that like it's gross. Like also a lot of movies of that era tried to get by with just being like kind of disgusting. Like I'm not a big Texas chainsaw guy. It's just more uncomfortable than scary. It's fine. I actually kind of like Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, which is like a dark comedy and there's a scene at one point where

Leatherface starts like I don't know how possible this is and I don't know that anybody should try it. But there's a scene where Leatherface busts into this radio station where this gal is doing a radio show in middle of nowhere Texas and Leatherface has her like backed up against the wall. She's got like her legs agape and some short Daisy Duke shorts, right? She's the heroine of our film Shifty or something. I think is her

name and anyway, so he's in there and she he's like Leatherface is super turned on by this chicks, you know beef basically and she like starts kind of sex talk at And anyway, so he's in there and he's like leather face is super turned on by this chick's, you know, beef basically. And she like starts kind of sex talking him and she clearly sees that he views the chainsaws like his dick, right? And he starts raving up the chainsaw. She's like, yeah, big boy, whatever you think you can pleasure me with that. And like he starts like tickling her vag with the chainsaw. And it's oddly erotic. That was in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Like I can see where when that

movie came out people weren't ready for kind of like a dark comedy type of thing like that. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 I think is brilliant and I actually like Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 more than I like the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Speaking of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I think my dad voiced a pinball machine that was a Texas Chainsaw Massacre pinball machine. I want to say he was the narrator on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre pinball machine, and he's in a Goonies pinball machine. I didn't even know they still made pinball machines, but dad was

in a Goonies pinball machine as the voice of sloth. So if you ever see a Goonies pinball machine, that's probably my dad doing the voice of Sloth. Anyway, all that to say I have seen Halloween. So is that Five of the Eight that I've seen? Alien, I've seen that. So that's Six. The Shining, I've seen. I think The Shining is an overrated movie. I think it's long and tedious and boring. And I'm just not a huge fan of it. I think it's long and tedious and boring. And I'm just not a huge fan of it. I think it's overblown. But

there's that. An American Werewolf in London I've seen. I have not seen The Thing that's on there. The Fly, I have seen The Fly. Little Shop of Horse. I have, fun fact, I have not watched the 1986 Little Shop of Horrors. Now Candyman fucked me up. That's number 15 on this list. Candyman fucked me up good as a kid. Tony Todd and like it's, I didn't see the sequels or I didn't see the Peele remake either,

but the original Candyman fucked my world up when I was a kid and you'd go into the bathroom, you'd turn off the lights, Candy man, candy man, candy man. Good shit. Scream. There was a time when I lived with my dad that we didn't have cable, so I only had like one or two movies that I could watch on repeat. So I watched Scream and I think like, honey, honey, we shrunk ourselves or some such shit. And I watched that shit nonstop scream quality film. My dad and I were talking the other day because Matthew Lillard from

Scream Stew and Scream also does a lot of shaggy stuff now because he was shaggy in the live action movies. And I think he does shaggy voice stuff. I think he might now be in the Marvel Universe too. But like, my dad will see him occasionally at these comic cons and they're like he gets longer lines for Scream and that type of shit than he does for Scooby-Doo. I'm like no shit, Scream's iconic. American Psycho I've seen. May, I have no idea what May is. I haven't seen that. I have seen 28 Days Later Zombie Thing. It's not my thing. Kill List, it follows, I haven't seen that.

The Witch from 2016, I haven't seen that. Get Out, I refuse to watch Get Out. And this is not, well, I refuse to watch Get Out because I did watch one of the Jordan Peele ones. There was the one, what was the other Jordan Peele horror movie, but like, I don't know. It doesn't intrigue me. Like the basic concept of the movie doesn't intrigue me.

And if a bunch of like left-wing media critics enjoyed it, that is probably not for me anyway. Hereditary haven't seen that and Talk To Me, I haven't seen that. So I saw a good number of those. I'm not going to watch any of them on Friday the 13th though. But man, when I was a kid, that's what we would do, bro. If it was Friday the 13th and I'm in high school or middle school, I'm calling my buddy, I'm like, come over. Dad's going to leave us some money for a pizza. Or in that most of the case, my dad would be like, Josh, I didn't leave you any cash. My dad would have this big glass jug full of coins. And he'd say,

just pour out the coins and order a pizza with that I'm like dad you want me to pay for a pizza and like 1,000 nickels and basically that's what I would do I was that asshole when I was a kid we'd order pizza guy would deliver the pizza and I would just have quarters like sacks of quarters I'd be like here you go sir here's your quarters please give us our pizza and we would watch like one one Friday the 13th, me and my buddy set out to watch like all of the Freddy movies and we made it through a good number of them. Like it's just fun shit. I miss being a kid. Don't you miss being a kid? Being an adult

is fine, but being an adult means responsibility. Who the fuck wants responsibility? I don't. People ask me, why don't you have a kid? I don't know. It's enough responsibility having to be an adult and take care of a dog. Why the hell would I want a kid? That sounds terrible. I have to deal with all the shit that comes along with a kid. I can barely take care of myself. My dad every now and then I'll go, when are you going to have a son? I'm not. I do think there will come a time in life later in life where I'm like, I kind of regret that because I'm not passing this seed on. And I

think I'm the only one who really can do that. Well, I guess Presley could. I guess my brother is going to be the one. I would have thought my brother had already knocked somebody up, but he hasn't apparently. I think it'd be kind of cool, but it's also just kind of an arrogant thing. I don't want to have a kid because I want to have a kid and love a kid. I would only want to have a kid. So there would be another of me when I croaked. They'll be like, but there he is. This is the son of the guy that was I'll just be remembered as the guy that had the radio row fight and like he'll be having to explain this. I'll be like De Niro have like a six-year-old kid when I'm 80

and so like when I croak and he's like 10 they'll all be like, oh yeah, this kid his dad fought that football player at Radio Row and they'll be like, well, what the hell's Radio Row? Well, it was for the Super Bowl. What's the Super Bowl? And then it'll be like a whole deal. He was on the radio. What's the radio? And that's kind of what's going to happen if I ever have a kid, but I'm probably not going to have a kid. And there you have it. The only way

I'd have a kid is if Jilly croaked and like, you know, some young chick and like I'm I'm studly older dude, and like chick you know De Niro type of deal where I'm happy you know she's like 30 and like you know I'm 80 and I'm like you know at the soccer game at six in the morning on a Saturday with a Starbucks you know in a walker and that's basically the only way that would happen but in and that would just be because I'm a horny old man and like why the fuck not at this point that's actually like it's a very selfish thing to do to have a kid when you're 80 because that poor kid by the time that kids like five six

seven years old you're dead. He's never going to have a dad but on the other hand it's kind of a badass thing to do because you'll never have to deal with any bullshit and you get to fuck a chick young enough to have a kid so to get to that point. I think it's like a true sign of success. It's true success to know that you got to a point where you are wealthy enough or powerful enough that some chick young enough to have a kid that won't have a horn shoot out of her, that she will

have sex with you and produce a kid with you just because you're that powerful. Like that's got to feel like pimp-like and then you don't have to deal with the kid for most of his fucking life. That doesn't suck actually. It sounds like a plan. Anyway, more to come.
