You're so excited. Yeah, look how excited you are. I like my new teacher. Did you do coloring? Did you color today? What did you color? It was really fun. Did you stay inside the line, Joey?

Yes. You did? Okay. The teacher was really a little paper. What was your favorite color? What was your favorite color? Green, of course. Oh, yeah, why?

I told you this already. Well, but it switched a couple weeks ago. You liked purple. What happened now? Well, you know, sometimes things change. They do change. That's true, Joe. So what, did you, uh, what were you doing with that, that little pet zebra?

They have a stuffed pet zebra, and it's my favorite, and it's mine, and it's mine. And it's mine. No one else can have it. But you stop socking people, right, Joe? Yes. Good. No more biting. No more biting.

No more biting yourself. Yes. Right. Can't do that. And then we have the teacher here as well. Everybody sit down. Get out your number two. Ponsils.

So I... Joe, stop biting the tip of the pencil. It's bad for your teeth. And I don't want to have to go around and pick up little or racer bits, okay? But I'm a chipmunk. Joe? Joe.

Hands to yourself. Great. Chrissy. Yeah? Chrisie? Yeah. Chrissy? I'm not going to ask you again.

You got to keep your hands to yourself, buddy. Oh. Oh. Well, all right. All right. Well, that's kind of shaking again on this one. Play the music. Play the music.

Boom, Gupa, goopal. He came to the right show, motherfucker. So much to talk about. There's a lot as well. I do want to talk about Richard Donner, because we're all kids of the 80s and the Goonies and Superman and all that.

We're going to talk about Richard Donner for sure and give the man the love he deserves, all the stuff that he did in his great career. And long life, long life. It's always sad, obviously. He was like 93 years old or whatever it might been. He lived a very long life, and we'll get into that. And does you also feel like when you've survived? survived COVID.

You should get like a bonus. Yeah. A couple years. Get a couple extra. Anybody who dies just after COVID, it's like extra track. During, I feel like. Is well deserved. You got to tap out.

You got a tap out. You like you were just sort of like you're 93 and died during COVID, not from COVID, but from something else. I'm sort of like, wish I could have been you. I know. I know. You skipped out on a pretty shit. A shit brick. Yeah.

But we'll be talking about Richard John. for short and the things that he had done. But there was, what were you talking about? So, 4th of July, it's passed. And I'm curious what you, how you guys did. And it was, it was fun. It was, it was interesting because it was the first time we had some people over. But it was quiet.

It was small. It was just like mostly family and like my wife's like childhood friend and her family. Right. Which is great because the kids were able to play. They have kids and just kind of running around the backyard. It was no mass. It was like normal. We're doing barbecueing.

All of that. And I had this thing that we had from a sponsor, and it's one of those utility, it's got a wrench on it, you can do your taxes on it, whatever. It's like all that stuff. But there's this knife on it, right? And I was, I used it a couple times for, like,

to open up packages. And it's like, I'm like, oh, let's, because I take a kitchen knife, I'm like into these sausages, the apple. What are they, the Adels, whatever they're called? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm the Adel. And I'm the Adel.

It's like chicken sausage flavored with crayons. The chicken apple sauce is no joke. Even Ed. I get it. It's okay. Ed, the sausage guy comes out. You get in trouble about chicken out. That's okay.

I don't know this bit. We said on the first episode of the goofball show that we how great would it be if there was just an app that would, a guy would come over in cookie sausage. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, yes. And that's his only thing. But even Ed would like this, but this knife comes out. and the kitchen knife It's like you're jamming it through Even if it's got edges

I can figure it out Go around the side of this thing Rambo's knife Looks like a pussy knife And Brett you said you cut your finger on it I think we know this knife Well this was this was I was opened up Estella

During the the big show That we did with Bonnie and Kate And I don't know You had to open 14 different ones To get to the bottle opener And it's very And the way you put this knife back too, these little prongs, you got to be careful.

Because this knife, this knife is, it's like a dog like that with, with rabies. That's just like ready to get you. You got to make sure. But go ahead. So probably shouldn't have been opening this beer after the fact. How many did you have? It was also after the show, I feel. Yeah.

Oh, no. Because as well, you were, you didn't notice this was happening because we were like getting, getting some of us on the Oculus at the time. Oh, yes. We're talking about that too. Yes. And so I took and I was closing it. You're in the corner with a knife.

while we're in Malibu. I'm like in a desert. We're open. Malibu. That's where I go, by the way. Instead of saying like Rio or Hawaii, I go, and you're out in Malibu. A place you could actually go to. You could go there.

Take 10 minutes again. Yeah, but you can do it from here. That's a big of you're in here. You don't you got to leave your house. But you're, you're juggling. This is dangerous. I don't want the kids to stumble upon this. So in trying to shut it, I sliced my thumb open.

But it was one of these, it was like, it's all right. You know? Look, what do I do? I get a paper mask. Yeah. And I wrap his finger in a mask. Because there's no way Sadie would have had, you know, I'll tell you who's not going into that house at that hour.

With blood on your hands. With blood on your hands. Saydy. Hey. Hey. Hey. Harry's fine. It's fine.

It's not even that bad. Meanwhile, it's like the shining. Dripping. Yeah. Sadie. Knock, knock, knock. Two questions. One, do you have a band date?

Two of you have a rag to get the blood off the door because I just knocked. blood all over the place. It's all over the place. That was a fun night. It was fun. Brett and I made it back to his house. I got to talk about this. So what people don't know for that episode of Wolf of Wall Street,

which we all... I was definitely the most sober out of all of us. You and Dave, I want to say. The Dave wasn't on. For those who were on, and I knew that I had to be in order to really steer the ship. But great response from the audience. They loved it.

They had a lot of fun with it. What I was very confused about was that you, I know you Ubered here. Oh, no, no, your wife took care. Yeah, yeah. You were going to Uber back. Yes. Right. You Ubered here.

No, I drove here and left my car. We had to come get it the next day. That's what happened. I see. Okay, that makes sense. But that was always the plan. That was always the plan. So you, but where did they drive you?

We, the plan was always to leave here and go back to hang out with Lonnie and the kiddos. I see. I'm like, if I'm on the side of town. Might as well hang out for a little bit. put in the kids to bed. Yeah. You don't want to go home early. You want to hang out.

I get it. I, like, I'm like, it looks like a cow teat. I'm going to milk it. You know what I'm saying? You're no different than me or brighter or even, too. It's like, you want to eat. I invited myself to their house. I was like, earlier that day, I was like, I'm coming over tonight if that's cool.

I'll be there for two weeks. Yeah, I get it. Make a cot. Diggie thinks we're doing a S-E-N camp that we have to be after. Kate messed up. You heard it. I'm here. You said, Dickie thinks we're doing.

I said, it. It's. But I do, but I do, I, I, I refer, I saw the Sopranos and I, and I, and I saw that thing. It's in the very first episode, the thing that we talked about, I mean, it's like, he goes, I can't remember what the line is, but Pauly Walnuts says to, hey, Christopher, when you go, whatever he says, fuck your mother back. He still, you hear what I says to him? And he's still sitting right next to him.

Yeah. So he's like, what I told him is this. And it's one of the, Kate, you missed it. But I said, you said. doing and I said it right bread heard it yeah he smiled the first time awkwardly like move on but then you brought it I brought it back this that's what I did flipped it they flipped it around he flipped it around see hey guys at the beginning of the show I did a real funny face do you want to be show you it show me again show me again so I don't if you guys remember this

but Christian's like here's the teacher right and then I was like this and that's how you debuted the bed that's your bit you're part of it I mean teacher look uh If we're doing time codes, this is we revisit our bits. Revisiting bits. Oh, yes, revisiting bits. Thank you for revisiting bits. That's what the show is now. We're revisiting bits.

This is why you listen to the audience about what they like and what they don't. Because I'm not going to pretend that I'm, well, you know, we'll talk just pop culture and they'll love it. Steph was on and we started talking about, like, advice on her love life. I don't know if you heard it. Every comment was about the love life advice and all that. And we, three of us have been in her time period. Yes. Right?

So like listening to the story. I've never been in that body, but I've been in that time period. Break your own balls all the time. I'm just saying. Are you trying to say you, you had a nice body. You still have a nice body. But I'm talking about, you're talking about the 20s, but you're talking about the 20s. I'm talking about like, step.

That's why I said my wife too. Oh my God. She's ugly. I literally when we went out with, because I met her in person. finally last week. In person? I looked at her and I was like, Can I see if it's real?

And she knew exactly what I was talking about. And she gave you a little twist. She gave me the side. She gave me the side twist. That waste to ass ratio is not beatable. Human. Oh.

It's, you can't beat it. I quit following her on Instagram immediately. I can't have that in my house. Did you stop following her? I did almost. It was just like, I'm like, oh, let's see the stories. Oh, all right. Honey.

I work with her. A friend. Get new friends. She wants love advice for me. So funny when I was, but that was the stuff that we were talking about. And it was like, and even when you and I are talking about like the kids, they like, yeah, I just feel like I'm on the porch hanging out,

listening to my friends talk. That's always been the goal of Schmo's and even Clare Live and just kind of go back and forth with whatever we're watching or what we're talking about. I did watch that Chris Pritz. movie on Amazon, I bailed on it. And not because of the normal... You know what's funny? I did Christian bail on it because normally it's a Sadie bail and it wasn't.

Yeah. We were watching it together and she's usually like, I don't want to watch this. And I looked, I go, I'm fucking bored. I'm bored. She's like, you never want to do that. I'm bored. And I post it on Twitter because I think PJ had said he watched it. I said, I bailed.

Should I stick around? And a lot of people were like just the first part of it's kind of, boring but it gets better so i'll probably finish it because i like to finish the movies but it's like one of the main things and sadie pointed it out she's right why do all the aliens these days look the same it's the same fucking aliens it's like either it's like an alien dog with the stupid like thing that comes out and they have like 8000 rows of teeth and it looks like the same shit over and over and over again it's like one artist gets is getting hired to do the same alien and it's like why can't they be like different kind of beings that are almost like whether it's like

Avatar being or like, or even the stuff like Independence Day. Those aliens were creepy, right? And if they were running around with kind of blasters and stuff. You know the ones I loved was the one in that Amy Adams. Arrival, right. Arrival. Yeah, it's great. They were good.

Those were like, those were good aliens. Like big, like tentacles. Yeah, that was, to this day, that, that movie is the best representation of like what I think time travel is how it really would work. Yes. and like the the the like being able to move yourself your your consciousness through time and yes progressive presents adjusting to the suburbs i never really thought about tools until i bought a house in the suburbs it's like this weird homeowner test if i need a tool for a project and don't have it and my neighbor ted loves to give me that look when i asked to borrow a pole saw a year ago i

didn't even know pole saws existed and now i got to borrow one from ted what is happening Anyway, when you save with Progressive by mumbling your home at auto, that's the easy part of adjusting to the suburbs. Progressive Casualty Insurance Company coverage provided in service by affiliates and third-party insurers. The way that they do it, there is no like linear, the back-to-the-future model,

which is like for movie fans, a sacrilege to bring up that it's not. It is the most inaccurate representation of time like ever, but it is a great film. I don't know how to tell you this, but I've turned the Prius C into a time machine. You're actually from the, I am actually from yesterday.

Do you know today is actually the date that he was going... No, it isn't! Stop posting the picture! It's true, but... Arrival's phenomenal. But anyway, watching that movie, the Chris Pat movie, and it's... Do you know what it's about?

Something like that, yeah, Tomorrow War. Ryan was talking about it. Did you like it? I don't think he was speaking too highly of it. I was just bored by it. I got to finish it up. And I have watched nine episodes of the Sopranos in two and a half days of the first season. And it's like every chance I get, it's very similar when I watched.

I watched The Wire when I was temping at Warner Brothers at the time in between when I was working their full time in production. And then I went to go off and do my own thing. But I was to pay the bills, I was watching. Yes. I was watching. Yes. While temping. So I remember being at many decks.

desks of executives and stuff too and just having so much downtime, I was watching The Wire all day long. And then I would go home, though, and I'd find my time to then watch the Wire again. And that's what I'm doing right now. What's great is that my sister-in-law is in town, right? So she's in town with my nephew. And so they're watching this Kevin Costner movie the other day that's on HBO Max

that apparently is like, it's not a thriller as listed. It's like a heartbreaking story. My wife came and gave me, like, woke me up out of a, asleep and was like hugging me. Oh. And I'm like, this movie must have been fucked up. Because she doesn't like to be bothered when she's sleeping. Are you leaving?

Or is this, was this movie? She's like, there was a guy named Christian. Right. Who had two daughters. It was just very, it hit home. It was, but no, but it was, it was very sweet. And, but anyway, but that allowed me, because the movie was like two and a half hours, I was blasting through episodes of the soprano.

I was in my room and just watch it. And it's such a great rewatch after. Have you ever seen it the show? I've watched only bits and pieces of it. Got it. I mean, I got to see it. But Dickie always talks about, like, when he talks about, like, the writing of,

because he's always interested in, like, the story, right? So, and I'm always like, I love the acting. But he, he talks about the, um, how Sopranos did something so simple with it, which is just, like, ducks in the pool. Yeah. And, like, then one day they're gone. Like, and he, like, tries to, like, figure out, like, Like, what's the simple?

Stories don't have to be overly confident. Everything doesn't have to be tenant. No. No. And the thing... I'm shitting on a movie I didn't see, but I'm pretty sure. No, I know what she means. No.

I'm saying that shit. But it is complicated, though. But the thing with Sopranos is that even the setup in the start with the psychiatrist, and he's there and he's talking to her, and it's this throwback to him and his childhood, but it sets up both families. Yeah. Because you also have to realize that this is 1999. or something when this came out

and there were no shows like this and there was certainly no shows where the antagonist was the person you were going to be ruining for and it's even as reading there's an episode like you need to watch a show you would love this show like this so there's an episode called college

which is a famous episode you'll be spoiled but you won't care so Dumbledore dies yes he goes to he's taking his daughter to look at colleges. She's like a junior in high school. Meadow. That sounds like something fucking, that's a name that people give their kids now. Arrow and Meadow.

And who's going to, yeah, meadow soprano. So she goes and she's looking at the, and they're doing like tours of schools and he's taking her because the wife's sick, right? So as going up there, there's this parallel between his like both families, how it interpreters his life. And even his daughter says to him, are you in the mafia? And he's like, What? He's like, there is no mom. She's like the smart one. The daughter's like the dopey one.

I mean, the son's like the dopey one. And he finally, he tells her, like, there's, says yes without really admitting to too much. She understands, like, I'm not an idiot. But while he's there, he sees a guy that he's like, I know that guy. I know that guy. And he realizes that it was a rat from back in the day. That was like 10 years ago. And the guy sees him, too.

Does a guy get nervous? He gets very nervous because he's in a witness protection program. Oh, my God. And he's the whole time, he's, he's kind of, he's looking around. He's, and the, the rat is going back forth, like, looking, Tony's making phone calls. He's like, now I got to handle this myself. And Tony's leaving with, Tony has to, like, maneuver. He leaves his daughter at, like, the bar so he can go spying this guy in his house.

And it's like they're both playing cat and mouse stuff. The guy goes to the hotel and he's got a gun on Tony and his kid. And then he goes back and he's like, yeah, maybe it's just coincidence. And he goes to take off. And then he's at his place in the next day. and he's and this is obviously major spoilers if you didn't know this already if you haven't seen the sopranos

but he's he's I think we've had enough time I think we've had enough time so but the rat is they're talking to these two like junkies and like I want you to go with a shotgun and take this guy out him and his daughter and they're like fuck this and he's not getting any he's like I'll tell him about that fire

and they're like fuck you and they leave and the guy's like outside of these trailers and Tony comes up behind him wraps around his fucking cord and kills the guy takes him out and HBO when this was presented was like fuck no we can't have the lead of the guy just murder somebody in cold blood and David Chase is like that's who this motherfucker yeah that's who this guy is that's right

and he's like so you know the that's the brilliance of his james gandlefini is that you still you're like oh it's Tony when you're realizing this is a fucking murderer is the same thing that that leo does in wolf of wall street yes Jordan belford is not a good dude and yet you still are kind of rooting for him strangely even going, I shouldn't be rooting for him because this is all illegal stuff and you're like, good, I'm glad he got caught, I'm glad all this happened, but you're like, but you're with him because Leo's so charming and he's, and he's

and that's St. Gandalfini does a despicable thing in one episode. And then he's playing with his kids doing like Nintendo in the living room. You're like, he's a good father, but yet he's a murderer. Murderer. Yeah, yeah. He is. Anyway, and he has this and the reason why, going back to what

Dickie said with the writing, like last night, the episode on Monast's like episode nine he there's like this school teacher or he's a soccer teacher and he's and he's managing these kids and and the mob fathers are watching for their daughters play and then and this guy's helping the kids get scholarships and he goes to get another job somewhere else to the code and they're like fuck it we can't let him leave my and they all want so they start like dropping TVs off at his house and he's like oh you can't intimidate me you're staying and like Christopher like takes his dog and he's oh I found your dog is my dog's upstairs he's like you sure and he's and he comes out and he's and he's and he's

He's like, where's my reward? And he's like, I'm just kidding. I'm a dog lover. Take it easy. Take it easy. He takes off, right? And then they find out that this teacher was fucking one of the kids.

Oh. And then Tony is Tony and everyone, and Sylvia's like, this little girl, my daughter's got a thing about this shit. And he's like, and he, and so Tony's like childhood friend, Arnie Bucco, who is like the chef. Yes. He's not part of the mom, not part of any of this. And he's like, take this guy out. He'll come in. His wife has a conversation with him, or realizing,

and so Artie goes in there and talks to Tony's like, you can't, we can't do this. It's like, what's it going to do? It's going to make you feel better. It's going to make me feel better, but it's not going to help that girl. It's not going to help my kid, your kid. And it reflects this inside of Tony's conversations that he's having with the psychiatrist. Even she's like, if you're telling me, you're planning on hurting this, dude, I've got to go to the authorities.

He's like, what's it going to do for you? And he goes nuts and he, but it plays inside of this, all this therapy that's talking, because he even throws already out. He pushes already out of the door. But he ultimately doesn't do it. He calls Sylvia off. And he says to him, he just get out of there. And so he's like, fuck!

And he leaves. But Tony gets so hammered and he falls down in the middle of the living room. And Carmella's like picking up. And Meadow's watching this whole shit go down. And he's hammered. I mean, in Piano Finney, he's so brilliant as an actor. You're like, he's shit-house, right? So Carmelo looks and he goes, and Tony very deadpan, goes, calm.

I didn't hurt nobody. and like he like you could and he's like tell tell that tell that town to give the shrink a raise or whatever it was because it was all of that like before therapy

that guy's dead that guy's dead yeah no question and he winds up getting arrested and he winds up all over the news and all that too but it's that's the brilliance

of the writing of that episode and also just the premise is so simple it's a mobster yeah with the two families and who goes to therapy right

like like the dichotomy of that it was yeah and we love boardwalk, which I know is Terrence Winter. Yeah. Like I don't... Corsese produced it, I believe.

Did he? I believe so, yeah. So I don't know. So now I get the wire and boardwalk I got to do. Oh my God. Boardwalk. But what was the first... Was it sex in the city or age...

Like, what was the first premium television? Was it... I want to tell you sopranos. Well, not first, because I talked about the city. You guys remember this because I talked about it at the barbecue. Nobody knew what the fuck I was talking about. Dream on. Do you not remember Dream On?

No, I don't. You might be a little younger. You're a little younger than us. But, uh, but, but, Dream on, but Dreamon was really the, way ahead of its time, was an HBO sitcom, but it was raw, there's nudity, or sex, there's all that stuff, but the guy thought in old time movies. Like, so when something, like, if you said, if there was like some awkward situation with the guy, the guy at a bar with a woman, she's like, I'm going to go home and cut off your penis,

right? And then you would see this clip from like an old movie of a guy going, oh, you know, and then it cuts back. Because he would think in like these old school movies Because he saw so many And is Brian Ben Ben who is he's He's Madeline Stowe's They still married those two Who? Remember Madeline Stowe from

Madeline Stowe? Madeleine Stowe was in unlawful entry Last of the Mohicans Okay, okay She's gorgeous, gorgeous It looks like Winkleman's ex-girlfriend The uh Boney Somerville?

No, Yada Martinez She was also an actress Oh She was in the tick. She's been on Cloud Live. I don't know if you were on there, too. A friend of mine. But anyway, so yeah, that was the first one that HBO show, Dream On.

And I wonder if it's on HBO Max. I don't think so. It's got to be. Maybe. Maybe. Hopefully some people go check it out. So that was really the first one I remember. And then there were other ones.

Like Spawn was an animated series. Todd McFarlane. That was very raw and rough. You'll see those types of shows now on Netflix. Or shit, even look at Invincible and things like that. But like hour long dramas. I think Sopranos was one of the first ones on. It changed the game as far as cable was doing and what, you know, it ultimately, yeah, it changed the game tremendously.

There's no, I mean, HBO, I feel like Dickie and I have this bit, we're like, especially when we lived in a condo. If we were watching an HBO show and there's undoubtedly going to be a rough sex scene at some. Oh, yeah. There's just going to be. And we would just yell out. It's just HBO. Because we didn't want our neighbors to think. And he was, like, beating me in the face.

While I said, like, yes, daddy, please, more, daddy. It was like, just HBO. Just HBO. That was one of their ads. It was just hardcore sex against a refrigerator. And then the girl stops and goes, just HBO. Just HBO. But, like, that's like, now you look at where network television is.

It's like getting there. Well, and it's funny, though, too, when you go back to, well, they have to, right, because they've got to try to keep up. But when you go to, um, Watch episodes of Sopranos. And now when you watch them, you'll see episodes of Sopranos when you go and watch it. And you're like, well, that's pretty, that's pretty raw.

And, but in your head, you go, well, I've seen this type of stuff now in Game of Thrones are breaking bad. Yes, yes. Rome. What, Rome, but that wasn't happening. This was, again, 99, I think this came out. I don't, I can't remember if sex in the city was first. I don't, I don't think it was.

I think it was a big thing. And it might have been 98 when they started promoting it. People will tell us in the comments. for sure. We can look at them right now. That is time travel. Is that we can shoot this now and talk about the comments. And then we're going to have to go back in a future date to read where people think about this in the past.

The same way they did for like the Wolf of Wall Street episode. Yeah. Which was people were definitely digging out. By the way, I was right. It was Training Day. Denzel got his Oscar for. Yeah, I know. Someone corrected me during the show.

Oh. Really? Who was that, Bonnie correct you? I don't know. You don't know. Definitely wasn't you. Tatea is what he won for. No, no, no.

Well, that wasn't what the conversation was, Drunky McGout. The conversation was what was the year before that he didn't win for that. No, I know. I said, but then he did. He won for training day. He won for training. I think everybody knew that. But it was the, it was the, what he, the year before was Hurricane.

Right. That was the one that everyone thought he should have won for. Yes. Yeah. But he did not. But he did not. not. Speaking of all this, you have all the streaming stuff and everything that you can do. I reached out recently to let you guys know about ExpressVPN because ExpressVPN has been

very helpful to us. It has been very helpful to people who have been listening because a lot of you guys don't read that fine print that appears when you start browsing in incognito mode. If you go into that mode, what it says is that your activity still might be visible to your employer, your school, your internet service provider? And how do you call that incognito? It's not incognito. To really stop people from seeing the sites that you visit, you need to do what we do,

and you have to use ExpressVPN. Think about all the times that you've used Wi-Fi at a coffee shop or a hotel or even at your parents' house. Without ExpressVPN, every site that you visit could be logged by the admin of that network. And that's still true, even when you're in incognito mode. Do you want your parents to see what you've been looking at? Kate certainly doesn't.

What's more is your internet provider. I'm talking Comcast or AT&T, whatever. You can also see and record your browsing data. You don't want them to do that. And in the U.S., they're legally allowed to sell that data to advertisers. ExpressVPN is an app that encrypts all your network data and rerout it through a network of secure servers so that your private online activity stays just that.

Private, mother F's. ExpressVPN. on every device and it's super easy to use the app literally just has one button you tap it to connect and your browsing activity is secure from those prying eyes so this is what you got to do you just stop letting strangers invade your online privacy protect yourself at expressvpn.com slash s en the link is in the description use that link at express vpn.com slash sen you get three extra months free E-X-P-R-E-S-V-P-N dot com slash S-E-N to learn more.

Let's see, yeah, but going back into what I was talking about to you guys with that alien movie and Pratt, I think I will give it another shot. I think I am going to try to finish it. Didn't finish it. I didn't finish it. I bailed on it, dude. I was just, I just was so bored.

And it's long. That's the problem with streaming stuff when they, like, look at you and your favorite movie, The Irishman, right? There's no world where that movie, where they let Scorsese put out that long of a movie in the theaters because those types of movies don't play in theaters. And it's hard to do. And I think it allows people like him or other directors to say, yeah, we don't want to do a two an hour.

We want to do 2.30. I'm like, ah, it's streaming. That's fine. People can watch it in two days. Why wouldn't you just completely bail on this one? Like, is it, there's enough redeeming factors? I didn't think it was, I didn't, I wasn't like, this is, like, like that. Eternal's movie?

What was that one? No, it was, Infinity. That thing was terrible. We watched the whole fucking thing. It was terrible. And I liked the trailer. Trailer was great. Oh, this is gonna be fun.

And it was like the first like 20 minutes. I was like, okay, this is gonna be cool. It was awful. And how we didn't bail on that, I have no idea. But like this, I think maybe because it wasn't boring, it was awful but not boring. Yeah. This is boring, but not awful.

Yeah. I feel like in life in general now, I feel like I've gotten to an age where, like, you got to, like, I don't want to be your friend. If I don't like you the first time I meet you, I don't want to. My time is limited. My time is limited here. Okay. So convince me.

What I need is I need this show to be good in the first 30 seconds. Right. And have rough sex. Yeah. Yeah. Needs to be. And do I have to yell? We still yell it in our house, by the way.

We're still like, it's just HBO. Right. Like, as if the kids. Even if it's Paul Patrol and someone sniffing another ass. You guys, it's just HBO. Ooh. The Zelda. Yeah, she was showing me the Zelda, which I've heard my son playing it,

but I never put two and two together with this. Go to a store. Yeah. Oh, oh, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Why doesn't Zelda change that now? They can add voice. Like, back in Nintendo.

There are voices sometimes. Sometimes, like, there's like a couple of bosses that are like, hey, welcome to my river kingdom. But, like, why they have little... Maybe it's nostalgic of that stuff? I don't know, but did they... Did old Zelda... Did old Zelda used to have Asian women moaning, basically, to sell you goods?

Yeah, it's... Ugh. Oh. I'm just buying some rupee. Some rupee or something? Rupies. I just want to get some... I'm just trying to sell some fish for rupees.

There's another game, but it's very similar, and you walk by, and it goes, ooh-oh. I don't know what that is. And the guys, for the most part, sound like they're just like challenge. You can do a stamp. They're like, oh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, oh. It's like, it is.

Yeah. He played that on Brett and Kate. Yeah. Oh, okay. Is this, is this porn? Yeah, very fancy setup. It's on Fridays, by the one. Kate put put an iPad up against her television and then, or no one showing her.

We're like, we're talking. This was a high class setup. This is how the, that Twitch shit, where it's clear and you can see everything on the screen. He's like, what should I do? And Courtney was so sweet. She was like, do you guys need help setting this up? And Brett was like, nah, Kay's going to use a couple of iPads. Pretty sure she's just going to set an iPad up in front of.

And really far back. You don't want to be close to the screen either. You want to, you. Yeah, as far back as you can. Anyway, become an SCN patrons. You can catch that great content. Well, it is. It's every Friday.

And we're going to, there's going to be lots of changes to SCN Patreon in general. There's a lot of stuff that's going to happening over there. So there is SCN Patreon and Schmodeon Patreon. Please go and check both of those out. What else are you guys? You, and see, you're, you're luckier than the two of us because you and Lonnie are at a point with your kids where you can find shows that you guys can actually really get into it at any time because we have limited time of one weekend.

We've got to make sure the kids are sleeping. in anything too as opposed to what you're doing. So what do you guys watch right now? We also do because this is what happens. It's like they don't want to spend any time with this. Right. You put something on as soon as it's come out, that's when they, oh, I need water. Why?

You didn't, you haven't, you've been in your room for five hours. Right. You know, so. Well, Brett, I think that's why they needed water. Yeah. They're in their room for five hours. So, okay, daddy. And how old is your son?

14. Of course he's going to come out when the tits come out. Are you kidding me? Oh, my God. I mean, he's 14 years old. Well, and Lonnie, sometimes she can watch shows at her own. Do you remember that night? Brett's thing is that like Blake doesn't engage with anybody.

Yeah. Gave me a hug. Do you remember this? Yeah, of course. No, he's a good kid. A new blonde woman shows up to his house. He's 14 years old. He's found bowling now.

He's a different kid. Yeah. That and last of us. Yeah, that, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Someone suggested, someone suggested you guys review that together. Oh, that would be fun.

That would be fun. That would be fun. He won't do it. He's not the camera guy, huh? No, it's just, yeah, he's in a weird, weird place right now. Yeah. And it's a 14-year-old place. Yeah, yeah, because it's just, it's, he's all over the place with the hormones and things.

You're right. Yeah. Meanwhile, Lydia's like, did I hear a camera shutter? I'm telling you. When I walked in, I was like, so I hear you doing commercials, just, Is book one today. Yeah. Matter of fact, asshole.

Yeah. They're the coolest kids. Yeah, I'm like, dial that down now. Right. She's, no, stop. She's very humble. It's a lot of work for her. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

That's not, no. But what we're into now is Rick and Morty again. Oh, yeah? We started that back up. Nice. The newest season's incredible. That show is so good, but also nothing I could watch with even my 14-year-old. You sell me on this show, because.

After you told me to watch it, I tried, and I just couldn't get into it. Why should I listen? I should I watch this show. I just think it's just so smart and funny. That's why I'm a fucking idiot. Well, that's the thing. I don't get, yeah. Me too.

Some of the stuff I'm like, ha ha, ha, ha, time travel. You know, but it is, it's like, it's that smart. Like, it's like when I used to watch, you know, like Dennis Miller's stand up. I'd laugh at it. I didn't know what he was talking. The reference he was making. But it was still, there was. something about the delivery.

The delivery of this is, it's so fun. I mean, it's raunchy as hell. You can't watch this with kids, you know, but it's, I don't know. I don't know what it is. Do you watch it at all? No, Dickie watches everyone's a while. And they're small. Those are nice little palate cleansers.

It's like you do a handmade's tail, you know, and instead of crying yourself to sleep above. It's funny this show? Rick and Morty. It's, yeah. It's hilarious. Dennis watches it all the time, Tiki. I remember him from when he would talk to me about it on, Collider or AMC, and he loved it.

And people love this show. I just remember you telling me, I watched the pilot or whatever it was, and I, maybe it just wasn't in the headspace. It's very fast-paced. Yes. It's like, it's got the same vibe, I feel like deeper of like, South Park.

Yes, or like family, like, just like really quick. Like, if you miss the joke, they're not going to wait for you to catch it. And it's basically a spoof off of Back to the Future. right yeah yeah in a sense you know i mean but with just a filthy uh grandfather you could give a shit about his his grandson but he needs him he takes him on these missions and it sounds right at my alley oh there's screaming at each other yeah the the and and i think and i hate to say this because i hate when people do this you got to give it a few yeah to get the vibe of it and they're short and i don't hate that as much when people say i know well because even though i'm with kate that you got to hook me

like you got to hook me because i have so much time you have three seconds But I do understand those vibes sometimes where the people who do stick around, if they say to you, I get why you bailed, but stick around because it does get better. There were some shows. Look, look, Seinfeld, man. Seinfeld, when it came out, it was close to being canceled after the first season. The ratings were in a shitter. And they switched stuff up and people were like, no, no, no, no, check this show out now. It's really good.

Well, the wires like that, too. See, I didn't feel that way with the wire. I feel like people are like, I could, I could not with that first episode. Really? I was like. Okay. I think that sounds perfect. I couldn't agree more

Yeah I could not agree more You stole my shit You stole my life I did I couldn't even You're the one that You're the one that brought it to life

Fucker I If there was a way to agree more I could not possibly do it Much better Better see presentation So yeah I mean that

But I hear what you're saying Like some people When they started I think people felt that way For that show In the second season I love the second season of the wire. The docks love it, but there are a lot of people who are almost bailed after that second season.

Oh, worry, Wood Harris is still there, y'all. Wood Harris is still there. Look at, I mean, the Sopranos, right? That's why I'm going back and watching it because I watched it week to week when it came out. And you had to wait for the Sopranos for like two years at one point in between seasons, whether it was contract negotiations or whatever it was. I'm looking forward to watching it as like all the way straight through the way I did for the wire because my expectations of what I thought was going to happen

and the weight for certain things are gone. Right? The same way we always talk about movies where when you're, if you're like a Star Wars movie and it's three years before the next one comes out and the last one sucked, you're like, oh, you go in like kind of,

all right, let's hope the next one's better as opposed to watching the Mandalorian, which is week by week. And you're like, well, if that episode sucks, the next week, hopefully it's better, right? And now with the Sopranos, after, like, I didn't like that season. and waiting two years later for a next one,

playing it all together. I want to see how I react to it because I remember first season. I always like Breaking Bad overall. Yeah. When you compare the seasons, I liked Breaking Bad better than Sopranos when it came to overall content and story.

Yeah. I relate more to the Sopranos because of the East Coast thing. And I remember, not mobsters per se. And also because he's in the mafia. But not the, but I grew up with people. like that and the way that people talk.

And even when I watch it like last night and hearing things, like even here, like there's certain things that, let me make it very clear. Livia soprano and my mom are very different. But there's a lot of things that they say like, oh, poor you. Right. And like that type of stuff like, oh, what I don't need to go there. Like that's my mother.

That's fine. You know, just don't worry about it. It's just, oh, is that, is that what you think? Is that, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, how you think of me and like those types of things but just certain ways that they they talk to each other and all that that's always going to be my connection to the sopranos for sure um but watching it to get like i didn't like season five i think i was thinking it was disappointed by it and and at first when the ending happened but after reading all the shit i read about the ending now

that i it's it's different do you know what happens at the end i'm sure you do strangely saw the finale okay because everyone it's not strange everyone's like a phenomenon i didn't watch the entire show and I remember being like uh oh cable went out that sucks that's fucking it nothing and and Dickie disagrees with me on this nothing makes me matter in

television or film when they make you guess what happened and it's just like it's just fucking lazy to me I've said that before too I've I want it laid out on a platter but with the sopranos I didn't mind it and I kind of liked it because it's it's you were gonna

piss people off either way Either way. And I'll tell you what. It was like, eh. It's funny because initially when I saw it, I feel the way you do as describing it. But after all the reading up on it and looking at the scene and understanding what's happening, I feel the way you do. And it's different because if you watch it on the first, you just watch the finale,

but don't watch the series, you should feel the way that you felt because you don't have all the other context that leads up to it, that pieces stuff together that you go, oh, is that that? shit because to you it's like they just went black like what is that yeah so if you watch the series and then i sent you like and and granted it's asking you to do a lot of work right when you could just be like well did he die or not right as opposed to when you do the reading like oh that's what is set up there it's actually this particular scene is actually brilliantly written i bet that's the case i just i'm thinking most recently of this ryan gosling no there's a lot of things i'm with you

Jake Gyllenhaal movie. Which one was that? There was like, with like a spider thing and there's like, he's like a twilight. Oh, yeah, I know exactly what movie you're talking about. I can't remember it. I know exactly. I like that fucking weird movie. The show made my brain stop.

Right. I know exactly what you're thinking about, but I like that weird movie. I was like, this was a piece of garbage. You know what's so weird about that? And Dickie's like, I fucking loved it. You know what's? We're done here. What's so weird about that movie is, that should be a movie by all accounts that my wife and I are like,

what did we just watch? It is. I think that's. why I think that is why we wound up liking it because it's so brilliantly directed it's so weird I gotta find that it's called I'll tell you in a second don't do drugs kids is it the is it the with an art is it in the art world or whatever is that a different one it's like he's a dude that he's it's it's like it's there's two of him and we never understand why there's they have the same scar we don't know if he's a clone there's a weird thing with spiders yeah

and by the way I loved a rival it's called enemy An enemy. It's called an enemy. By the way, that still doesn't ring a bell. You looked it up and you were telling you that's the name of the movie. But that's one of those movies. I remember it immediately when you said that because, like I said, by all accounts, my wife should hate that movie.

And we both like it. It was so entertaining. Yeah. But I'm normally with you, though, when it comes to that there's a few movies. Like, that one I didn't mind. Inception, I didn't mind at all because I do think there's a clear answer there. So that's what it. Exception, I at least thought there was a premise that they,

I just feel like if they have a premise and they're going to leave it open, that's fine. I felt like enemy didn't have a fucking premise. They're just like spiders, right. No, but I don't like sometimes. I'm just like, well, did they do it? You figure it out. It's just meant for the director or the writer for their next like press junket that they do to go. So what happened in that movie?

And it's like, come on. What are you thinking? But there are certain. And I did feel that. That way. I did feel that way initially about the sopranos. I don't anymore because of the way that it's set up. And I've just read so many different theories about it.

That one's, that one has become more fun over the years. And it didn't seem, even at the time, well, I actually came into it later. I was having DVDs delivered to my house. Back in the day, the Netflix was a service that delivered DVDs. What was better than those red uncles? I still do the Netflix DVDs. Really? There's still an option to do it.

I look at it. I swear to God, I looked at it. I didn't realize. it still existed, but I went to my, I went to, you have, when, this is a question probably nobody really does. How often do you manage your account, your Netflix account on your computer? I didn't know. I still was carrying stars. Right. So you can, you can go, there's an option. They still get DVDs. That's great. That is great. All the old peeps. Yeah. Because honestly, there's a lot of stuff for like, I can't find it on like, they're all

have to buy it on Amazon or whatever. So didn't they have a thing, though, too. There was stuff you could get on DVD that you couldn't stream. Yes. Yes. They're streaming was shit. It was back on day. Without kids, that would have been gone a long time. Oh, yeah. Incredible. But, so let me ask you a question. Yeah.

Remember when I told you that when it comes to the exercising and everything or whatever, just doing this work that people do, like I hurt my back one time parallel parking, right? I have a new thing that is even worse than that. I hurt myself breathing today. What's the first thing that you said to me today? You're like, no, I didn't pull a muscle bowling. Yeah. I might pull the groin muscle.

Breathing. Yeah. Not bowling. Breathing. I was, dude, I was driving to making a left hand turn. And I'm sitting. I go, oh. Like what?

And I said, I laughed. I go, I'm breathing. I'm not even like turning around and stretching. I'm just breathing. You can throw your back out sneezing. That one, I understand, by breathing. And you're going like this. Yeah.

Oh, I hurt myself. Switching to go to the... I went like this. Yeah. And I was like, in the back here, and I don't know. And I'm like, it's like muscles, but I think it's because of the exercise. Yeah. Yes.

And that's exactly what it is. But either way, it was really funny. And I started laughing because it was so stupid. But it did remind me like, because I tried, I've been talking you guys on this Oculus thing about the supernatural program. We'll talk to you about in a second. But there's low intensity, medium, and then heart. So bad-ass me, after I've been.

doing like low intensity. I'm ready for medium, right? And so for those people who don't know for Supernatural, you have this trainer and they're kind of telling you what to do. And it's similar to what is it, the Beat Saber, where there's music and there's orbs and you're like hitting stuff up, but the music and supernatural, it's all licensed and the trainers are there they're talking to.

And you've got to do these big arm movements and you've got to expand your chest and all that stuff. And I was doing it. And after, like, I'm all right, low intensity now mediums all right so medium starts and I'm like all right I got the hang of it then they start throwing out like

7,000 of these fucking orbs my form went out the window and I looked like a cartoon Warner Brothers character like moving around so I'm like fuck this and then I went right back to low intensity because I'm like you just I tried low intensity you did low intensity

Jesus Christ yeah that's what I mean so it's and it was uh but yeah I'm not ready yet I'll let you guys no one I am. We can boost that up. It was, but it was because when I'm doing the low intensity, I feel like a ninja and I'm like moving my, and I might look like an idiot,

but I feel like I'm in like, you know, one of those old school kung fu movies because I'm moving myself and I'm like, you know when they do like that superhero pose in every movie when they jump down and they do that thing? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think they even make reference to it in Black Widow. That's how I feel like I'm doing like the samurai pose

at the end where I finish. I probably don't look anything like that, but I feel that way when I'm doing it. But I knew what I looked like and felt what I looked like at Hein. Like an absolute idiot. Bees were chasing you. If I was lucky, it looked like bees.

But you played the... I played that night. I knew you were going to love it. I love it. It's, listen, when you get me in the groove, you get me... You were dancing. Oh, my God.

And I don't, again, I don't know what I look. like I felt like we danced him but I was like and it's like who I get him yeah explain it get your booty a down little lower I mean it was so much fun yeah and I definitely was like yeah yeah yeah you sweat man yeah you sweat so sweat so it's like it's really a workout I I did something out here in L.A. just before the pandemic yeah nothing sounds worse than this right now knowing about COVID but it was it's a dance party you go you're in a crowded dance room like a like they rent out a dance studio you pay like 10 bucks or something they turn out turn off all the lights and there's somebody that's um a DJ for that day so they made made a playlist in advance and you just for an hour you're not allowed to talk it's almost like a rave they've just got if you need like if you feel unsafe or whatever you can like go get water or whatever but it's just like they turn off all the lights and it was all women that was the other thing too it's all women but they just turn off the lights and you're just dancing and like however you're just vibing yeah I see I see you're just I see I see I'm where I burned one million calories that day because you just get into it and nobody's looking at

anybody it's my perfect nightmare now you want me in a room with other people with the lights off but that's why I let that's why I had you do this because this is like this is what is fun for me I have I have fun doing this program and this listening to the music and it has all types of genres and everything to and you're moving and I burn like 250 to 300 calories a day on them programmed. So it's like, are you, you, you'd said you were, are you considering getting it? I'm considering getting it, but also we've had to, we've had to have some serious money. Well, here's the thing.

I don't know how you guys are. Like, the more money, like, Dickie's making some money again now. And we know now that when Dickie makes money, we have to spread it out over the course of four years. So, but I, so I get more, the more money we make, the more stingy I get, like the more. But as soon as I see that. that accounts like nearing zero. I'm like, let's spend it all. So like right now we're like on a pant.

We're like, we're going to pay off the van. Yeah. And then we're going to build the savings back up. So you have a plan. We have a plan. I like the plan. I said it's a good way to do. So this is why I tell people here that keep tagging me and tag Oculus,

because we need to get a sponsor for Oculus. Because this is one of those things where it's like, we just want to get a free I want to tell people about Oculus. If you get an Oculus and you do this program, you will have fun working out. I don't have fun working out. I always take what my friend Scott Herman used to say back in college. Why am I going to lift weights for fun?

Why am I going to lift heavy things for fun? I don't get how people are like obsessed with that. It's just the same thing. It's like I don't, there's a lot of different. Like same thing that people have. It's the closest you'll come to sucking your own dick. Is that? No offense, Mark Ellis.

But people do enjoy going to the gym. But it's not just about the looking at yourself. It's a feeling better thing. There's an exercise thing that some people do enjoy going to the gym and doing that stuff. That's never been my thing. I like, music to me helps me write. It helps me do everything else. And so when I'm listening to music and it's getting that form down, it's like anything,

anytime working out, but getting the form down, that's why I knew going like this. My medium is not working for me because when I'm doing the low intensity, they're saying make sure you have big arm movements. I'm like, I got big arm moves motherfucker. I'm like, I know what I'm doing. And then when they're saying, don't swat, and I'm certainly swatting. So, but you, but you figure it out and you start listening and you're, you're playing like a video game, but you're still, but you're sweating. Yeah.

And that's why I want to tell people, like, if you're able to get an Oculus Quest, because my buddy was over, it's, it's great. That's great. My buddy was over for, um, for the July and we were talking about it. And it's like it is It's it's it's super helpful It is a it's a super helpful program and and and I think that VR in general That's what we were talking about is that it's going to be so

Different in like 10 years This is like the VCR version of what we're going to get in 10 years That's wild to me. The thing that I didn't like about this was was coming out of it Right I loved being there yeah I was just like she said it like six times She's like whoever wants to come back

I don't want to come back It was like you're really immersed. They're getting better on that program too because I don't know where they put me the other day, but it was, I might have been like Colorado or something. I'm like on these rocks. Yeah. But I look down at the water and it doesn't look like, oh, there's a picture. It looks like you could stick your hand in the water and feel the water. It's like and I have the fan going on me.

So it feels like the breeze is on me while I'm doing it. And it's just so, it's just so relaxed. I look forward to doing it. When I went on vacation, I didn't bring, I did bring it, but I couldn't get to it. Right, right. And it was bombed about it. It's like, I had to get, but it wasn't hard to get back into it when I came back. But it isn't good for young children.

Not under, not under 12. Yeah. Yeah, that's the thing that it's like, there's something about brain development and stuff like that. So because we'd like played it at my friend's place pre-pandemic, like, goes over there and we let her play for a while. Then Lonnie looks it up and she's like, oh, this is a little. cool maybe he has the PlayStation one she's like oh kids under you know 12 shouldn't play this because

of them we're like sorry Lydia we can't get vaccinated yeah you can't do VR I did the same thing with with my daughter like when she she had to get glasses right but this is before she had glasses and she had this thing happen she's okay she's fine but she went one day this was like in December I told you about my gosh she's totally

fine she's fine so what happened was she was So in this, we had, I just got in VR. She'd put it on. And then she was in, she was sitting on the couch and she's like, mom, dad, I can't, I can't, I'm seeing blurry. And she was fucking cross-eyed. And we're like, what? That could be like a brain thing. So like, what the fuck?

So we went, we called the eye doctor and everything's like, get out of the emergency room. This is in the height of when LA was in like, was like the epicenter for, for the COVID. This is like when the LA times like, do not go into a grocery store. especially the emergency room, right? So my wife took her, which was, again, like it was, but what it turned out to be, it wasn't anything brain stuff, it was that she had been straining her eyes for years and we didn't know it.

And she'd been, and finally her eyes just said, nope, whoop. And so after like a day or two, they sat back and, and we went up, she has glasses and she's been fine. But it was in my head, I'm going to, oh my god, did I do that to her eyes for VR? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And, and, but it wasn't. It wasn't, it wasn't that. It was just straining, she was straining her eyes. She reads a lot. Yeah.

She reads a lot. I mean, this kid, like, she devours, like, books the way, like, I devour New York pizza, right? And it's, it's great. But it's like, we just bought, like, fucking 80 books and you just finished them, like, that quick. She just, she gets a new book, and it's like, you can't find her because she's reading that. She's finished. That's amazing. That's amazing. I can't tell you how many times. she's read the Harry Potter books. I think I asked her.

She's like, yeah. And she looked and she was like, well, three, you're four, of course. She also, I was like, what are,

what house are you? And she was like, well, I'm two. I'm a, I'm a, griff or Lynn. No,

she says, Griffin door, not Griffin door. She said, she said, like, I'm a slither door. I think is what she said.

Yeah. She's like, slither. I'm like, you're slithering? She's like, and Griffindor. I was like,

wow, what a mix to me. I was like, well, I'm Hufflepuff. She's like, Maisie's Hufflepuff too. I'm like, yeah. Makes sense. Before we get out of here, though, too, we did say, we wanted to talk about Richard Donner. Yes.

Again, I think he was 93 years old or 92. Great Life. My buddy, Derek Hoffman, worked for him for a long time. He still did. And just the stuff that he did and the movies that he did for us as, like, kids, you know. And the ones, obviously, to me, that's a stand. That was Superman and Superman, too, changed my. life as a kid watching those movies.

Christopher was my Superman. He was just so, there's something about, I really related to that movie. The Donner Cut is a great version of Superman, too. If you've never seen it, that movie, I don't think, was pushed enough, his version of it.

And what happened to him the way that he persevered, lethal weapon, one and two. I mean, those are some of the best action movies of all time. The Goonies, I watched that recently. I watched Lethal Weapon One and Two, and the Goonies recently. Superman One and Two. not too long ago, but yeah, what are your thoughts overall on Richard Donner?

I mean, you know exactly what's the old, my true north of all films ever is the Goonies. It's the Goonies. And it's the only movie I, like when I think about movie trivia Shmowdown, I think about that like people love all movies the way I love the Goonies. That's the only way I can make sense of it is that they could know that much about other movies because I know everything there is to know about the Goonies. Like I just, it's just, I just loved it. It was my entire childhood. And, you know, during the pandemic, I don't know if you guys know this, Josh Gad was doing a sort of podcast thing where he would like reunite the cast.

So he reunited the castes and Spielberg and Donner showed up for it. Oh, wow. I mean, on Zoom, but anyway, check that out if you haven't because it's, it's great to just hear him talking. They just said, they were like, these kids were fucking misfits. We don't know what we were thinking of doing this. Here's the, here's the, a lot of the movie, I mean, Scrooge is another one. Oh, yeah. So here's some of the movies that, oh, did he really do that one?

I didn't even know that. And that's one of my favorite movies as a kid was the toy. With Richard. Yeah, I don't remember. Richard Pryor when he's, you talk about a movie that also had balls at that time, too. So he is, Richard, he's a reporter, Richard Pryor. Right. And he's trying to get a job.

And what's his, Jackie Gleason. is like this rich Norman Bates, not Norman Bates, Norman Bates is a psycho, it's Bates, but it's, it's because, because they say Master Bates. Yeah, yeah, Master Bates. Yeah, yeah. But he, and so he's this rich dude who sees this kid.

It's the same kid that stuck his tongue on the pole in the Christmas store. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. And so he winds up, he's working, he gets fired or something. He's working from being reported, and he's wind up trying to get a job somewhere. And he's in this department store working.

And this is Wonder Wheel. Wonder Wheel! Wonder Wheel! No, Wonder Wheel! And the kid who's with Jackie Glees for like a weekend sees Richard Breyer playing. He's like, he's like, I want that. Like, all right, get him Wonderweil.

He's like, no, I want the man. And he rents Richard Pryor for like the weekend. Yeah, no, definitely not happening. Wow, so that was made in 2021? I disagree. I think this movie absolutely would be made today. because it is 100% tackling head-on racism and what it is. And that's what Richard Pryor and his wife in the film do,

where it is full-on tackling that and going after that. And that's what Richard Pryor was one of the ballsies comedians all time. Yeah. Because he would tackle the shit that nobody wanted to talk about. And so that fact that movie came out in 82, yeah, that'd be controversy around it. But I do believe it would have because Richard Pryor, was the one running it.

And he certainly, yeah. I'm sure it was, I mean, I'm sure he did his own. Yeah. Do his own spin on it. It was so touching, too. It is a touch movie. Can you imagine pitching that, though, in 2021? Pitching it would be a hard.

Unless you had somebody, unless you're like, if Dave Chappelle walks into the room and goes, I want to do this because then it's getting me. But no. Can you imagine? I know you're looking for more representation. So I've got this idea where a white kid. Does this. I rents a black guy.

And they're like, no. Yeah. You're right in the fact that it, Depends on who's pitching. Yes. Right. So let's go through some more of Richard Donner's. God, I forgot about the toy.

He's got so many things, classics that he had done, right? So he directed a few episodes of Cojac, but the Omen was the big one that he did before he got Superman. Then Superman 2. Then the toy. And Lady Hawk, the Goonies. Lady Hawk. Let me see if he directed. Yeah, he directed those.

So Lady Hawk was one with Matthew, who's the, Ferris Peeler? Matthew Broger. I know, but there was a new lady hawk, wasn't there recently? I don't know. No, you're thinking,

oh, Lady Hawk, is that the, what was, uh, shoot. I'm not, I'm not doing you're talking about. No, no, no, I know. It's, it's not Lady Hawk. It's, shoot,

the one, Lady Bird. Lady Bird. Lady Bird. Yeah, that's what you're thinking of. The Greta-Gurwig movie. This is why, this is, again, my recall, athletes in the schmodown.

It's a real thing. Well, yeah, actual athletes. And the, Three of us in a room. Like, what was that thing? What was the guy? No, come on, you were making it. It's like my mother.

Who was the, you know, the movie with the person that was in it and saying the lines that the cameras were rolling that came out in the theater once. Do you remember? I used to do that bit about how my parents, whenever they hear a song. Oh, yeah, yeah. And they're like, they're like, oh, God, who was it? No, they did grazing the grass. Oh, God.

No, no, no. And I said, we're not, my generation is not going to have. that problem because it's going to be like, oh, God, who's saying this? I'm da-da-da-da-da-da. It's the one and only D-O-D-O-G Snoop Dog. Oh, no, it was Snoop Dog. That's who it was. That was the snoopsies.

Let's see. Scrooged, obviously. Radio Flyer. My God, Raverick. Maverick. Assassins, conspiracy theory, lethal weapon four. And 16 blocks was the last one he directed. He had a great filmography, man.

What a great filmography, man. What a great filmography that guy did. You know why? Because he didn't just direct anything that came across his desk. He had great film. That's a great filmography. Also, what's the last thing he did? 16 blocks.

No, what I'm saying? Like, year-wise. When was it? Yeah, it's like he really pulled the plug at a time that maybe made sense for him because when you have that roster? Yeah, he was 91. I know. He was 91 when he died.

So, you know, he was in his late 70s, 80s when he kind of stepped back. And that's like, he's tired. Yeah. And he's put, and his company was produced in time. tons of stuff. I mean, he's got... Truly. He's got a lot. Production stuff. He's got tons of stuff. But yeah, he was... From everything I heard, a great man, too. I never had the opportunity to meet him.

I know that Mark and Draco said that he did and had wonderful things to say about him. But you always, no matter how old you are, you always feel bad for the people's families and people who knew and worked with him. What did he pass from? Do we know? I just think old age. I mean, 91 years old. And we all go that way. Yeah, 91. Hit 90. Boom.

You're good. You're good at 90? Yeah. I'm good at 190. A hundred and ninety. I just want to see my kids, kids, kids. Is that what it is? Kids, kids, kids.

I just want to be with my kids as long as possible. And the next conversation of, do you fear death? Goof balls, goof balls. Shoes beef and the beef shoes.
