Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey folks, this episode sounds a little different to the other ones because Guy and I both forgot to tell our guests to record on their end, so yeah, it's different. Luckily I had a screen backup record, which is what you're going to hear, basically just our Zoom call. It unfortunately also cut off for the final four-ish minutes of the convo, so I don't know, it feels like a pretty fitting end to the whole project all things considered uh i hope you enjoy the series though and we will catch you over more regularly at the worst idea of all time stream peace hello and welcome to this the seventh and final installment in the schneider special overlooked and undercooked spin-off season in which tim batt and guy montgomery have explored
Starting point is 00:00:59 in excruciating detail rob schneider's hilarious net special, Asian Mama, Mexican Kids, and Tim. Pop the fucking champers, my guy. We did it. They said it couldn't be done. They absolutely told us it shouldn't be done, but we did it. Just in case you haven't quite passed through the title to understand its subtext, The title is named such because... Don't do this to me again.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Don't do this to me again. I'm fucking dead serious. I can't hear you do this again. We've got a very special guest for this, our final episode. His mama... Fuck you, dude! ...is Asian.

Yeah, regardless of your we're all comedians and yeah and you you're a fair-minded man yeah regardless of your opinion about you know the comedians and stuff we're all in the same trenches we're all on the same side firing our comedy guns at the audience but fucking I just watched
Starting point is 00:02:41 one of my comrades commit war crimes that we we agreed were over after world war ii like he acted as if there was no such thing as the geneva convention the fucking goal that it takes a man to do 15 minutes of racist Asian impressions I have ever seen in my entire life and then bring an Asian man out to play the piano
Starting point is 00:03:13 some next level race form cockery I just fucking I just I mean fair play to you for doing for watching it seven five i guess sloss i don't know this format's been hanging around like a bad smell for the last six years and i just am starting to think that uh the joke is on us but can i i attempted to do this a couple
Starting point is 00:03:38 episodes ago and the laptop um crashed so it didn't quite work but i've actually i've written out a set list and it as a little personal physical challenge for me, I would like to see if I can get it all in in one breath. Oh, okay. Is this kosher? Yeah, by all means, dude. The 45 minute special that we just
Starting point is 00:03:58 saw. Oh, so 45 minutes. Let's discuss that not random number. Let's really just because it's not random i fucking promise you i've got two netflix specials they know their fucking time it's right it needs you know that's how much they know it has to be that that's the fucking attention span but with rob schneider fans they were like it's less it's less we're gonna need two musical interludes to keep them on the hook all right it's just me for 45 but i said no we're gonna need something else we're gonna need
Starting point is 00:04:36 diversion all right here's the seat list rob keep texting adam like just let us know is there any chance he'll turn up on the day is there any sorry i just want to say quickly this is the very bottom line on sandler's seven film deal with netflix this is crippled in crayon in someone's bad hand and rob schneider gets 45 minutes to do whatever the fuck he wants this cannot count there's no way he doesn't do uncut gems and then rounds out the deal with rob schneider's asian mama mexican kids all right fucked up on cheese ripped old men not complete piece of shit personal trainer wife sucks number one fat fuck wife sucks number two.

My daughter and I are getting along.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Yeah. We patch things up. When you read it all sequentially like that, it actually sounds like some sort of beat poetry. Like it sounds like a parody of a comedian's open mic set list. Maybe that's the art that we can derive from the special. So can you get into the mechanics of the 45 minutes things a little bit dan like is this something do you think this is something he contractually had to get across the line for for it to count as a special like some legal definition of the term yeah like so like
Starting point is 00:07:16 netflix wouldn't they needed an hour for us they wouldn't accept more than an hour right because we were like my specials can be eight minutes long and they were like hey with all due fucking respect we respect what you do but we know our algorithm we know what happens people will not watch for what happens all right and um with this like it's it's it's frustrating because i have a special that's recorded and was recorded before quarantine happened. Just like he's recorded this one. We would like to Netflix be like, Hey,
Starting point is 00:07:50 here's one in the bag. Is there any chance she'd want this? And they're like, we've, we've got our lineup for right now. And we're like, okay, that was the lineup.
Starting point is 00:08:00 I can do, I can do Asian voices, but I, but I didn't, i didn't know that's what you wanted i didn't know that's because of the bad diagram of things i offer and things that i'm just imagining this fucking uber confident guns are blazing netflix exec who's sitting on this gold of schneider and in comes daniel sloss it's locked down you can't produce any content for like time immemorial essentially and you say we recorded one that's not going to be necessary mr sloss no it's so it's actually we thank you but we actually have well
Starting point is 00:08:40 you know what netflix i absolutely trust you you gave him my career what did you do he did what to his mother-in-law and that's the end of it there's no repercussions his wife is fine with it the mother is fine with it that's a weird bit because we were in that we were in the chat as we are for the um synchronized stream and uh so god i would have paid serious money to be in the presence of daniel sloss as this was unfolding him watching this happen for the first time because the way the joke reveals itself is he's grabbing around in the dark and you're like jesus fucking christ he's describing in like some detail him sexually assaulting his wife sleeping wife which is already awful it's him in bed he's like i'm just grabbing my wife's arms and that's just something he does regularly he offers that information as if we're all going to be like oh yeah no that thing you do to your sleeping wife
Starting point is 00:09:42 you know that you know the only eight hours of the day when she doesn't say no that's when i like to fucking hit it and you were horrified you were like like what is he what is this what is he talking about oh my god his wife it was just like oh my god no oh my god she's asleep oh rob no and then and i was like oh no dad doesn't know it's the mother-in-law yet it's guys like this is am i talking to fucking idiots it's called a pullback and reveal it's funny enough that he's doing it to his wife but his mother-in-law that's hilarious mother-in-laws are the common enemy of all comedians. The audience is such an interesting sound to hone in on as he's telling that joke. The good people of Utah, the God-fearing Mormons of Utah
Starting point is 00:10:37 are on board for a lot of this special. They're not on board for that. And they are on board with a lot of it. And this is again one thing you have to say he doesn't die okay he doesn't bomb truly he has a good gig and that's worse it's so much sad like every time there was at least every time i heard a woman laugh during that special it was just going oh trump's gonna win again like he's just like he's literally and then and there was my mother-in-law four more years four more years all of those yeah i i sort of picked up on it quite early when we were watching it, but hearing you use Trump as an analogous or like, you know, reference him,
Starting point is 00:11:30 there are genuine chunks of that special where it is exactly the same cadence and thought pattern as Trump going off script at a rally, only these are Schneiders written down carefully honed. Honed, Honed. Like he's practiced those bits in other places. He did them at the improv and was like, keep it in. Keep in jutes.
Starting point is 00:11:53 They liked what I said. It's crazy. They liked when I oversaid jutes. The jutes, the jutes, jutes. They liked that. He got into repetition. It's crazy to think of the collaboration behind this because you've got your friends who you do comedy with and often especially if you're tuning up for a big show they'll watch your set and then they'll they'll note it they might tag it
Starting point is 00:12:13 like i'm imagining someone like even david spade who i think is funny having to sit through schneider and then he comes up to him afterwards with a set list written in crayon and lipstick on a napkin. Like, what do you reckon, man? And you have to sit through, like, these guys are friends for whatever reason. You've got to sit through a feedback session where you've got nothing good to say to someone. Like, how do you get through that? The only man who I can see having greenlit all of these jokes and be like no notes is dane cook no one else on earth would have been all right with this dane cook dane dane cook came out again but like this this rob
Starting point is 00:12:54 snyder is like his his second warm-up of this like he's nervous before his netflix recording he calls him he calls him dane cook dane dave cook dave cook watches the entire special loves it walks back rob schneider's so nervous right because he knows dave's in his nose has got one and dave cook has an accent symbol just walks up to rob rob nervous and dave just goes hey buddy and just rips up his notes fucking nailed it bro rob's like thanks man that means so much yeah yeah brilliant loved it no no it's man that means a lot coming from you dame cook when when was this like what can we actually play a game here what year should this special have been released
Starting point is 00:13:45 for it to serve as an instance of stand up comedy that's a tricky question because are we talking ethically or like when would it have been suitable or like I mean what year can you imagine it being released and it not standing out the way it does
Starting point is 00:14:01 uh oh I think the same year that fucking Eddiedie murphy raw like if you re-watch raw the first the first five minutes of me like oh i mean i've not watched it but that's what i've heard comedians say but apparently it's really bad and it doesn't age well i don't watch old stand-up i'm bored who gives a shit i imagine the 70s it might have been well you know what you know what the asian impression wouldn't have stood out in the 70s like that would have yeah like it absolutely everyone would have been doing asian pressures there but like man we've had we've had lots of very public
Starting point is 00:14:39 conversations like that anymore like they're really public and they come they happen all the time and you there's loads of starting points like you just don't do them i did that is an interesting thing to think about the kind of media consumption habits of rob schneider what is he reading who is he talking to what like how has he formed this interesting bubble for himself where he's rocking out um no exaggeration like one third of his 45 minute special is him doing a variety of asian accents on stage to the good people of utah in 2020 in 2020 i but yes but but 2020 america man like this like you have to understand that america yeah fundamentally different from its core no no broken like it never yeah it never worked it managed to prop itself up on a bunch of separate identities and now none of those
Starting point is 00:15:43 identities exist anymore because they didn't really exist anyway they were just forms of propaganda and now it's all collapsing in on its fucking self that's a terrifying thought is this the the shot that rang around the world of like this is the start of the actual end there are no cultural norms anymore like comedians can get up on stage do whatever the fuck they want louis ck is back in the fold ladies and gentlemen it's also it's so fucking well because i don't know much about rob schneider's politics but i'm going to assume all of them it's so wild i don't even know i understand where the right wing community comes from
Starting point is 00:16:22 when they say like like we're too lefties are too sensitive and liberals were too whiny. I really understand that. But see this bit where they're like, the left just aren't funny. I'm like, but, but have you seen your guys? Like, don't get me wrong. When you insult left wing comedy, I also know who you're talking about. Right? Nod, nod, agree. When you're like, wow, wow, wow. I'm actually on your team too. But your guys, like that's that's you fight so hard to have rights to make every single joke and then it's like this is the application that's not that's not what we died like the people who died for the men who died for freedom of speech weren't fucking being like,
Starting point is 00:17:09 God, I fucking hope we can make as many Asian impressions as we can. I'd love to be able to slap the back of my neck while pretending to be an Asian man trying to pronounce oyster and black bean sauce. That's what I want my kids to fucking do while I give my life on this fucking land. my life on this fucking lane rob schneider's new special is the like free speech equivalent of the people who are convinced that the constitution was formed so they don't have to put a piece of cloth in front of their mouth during a pandemic it's just a complete disconnection from yeah it's uh but the thing is with rob schneider i don't know where he sits on the political spectrum because here's an array of facts I know about Rob Schneider. Number one, he's got a daughter and a wife who are less than 12 months difference in age. That's not necessarily political. I just needed to squeeze that into another episode because it's astounding to me.
Starting point is 00:17:59 He's quite a devout Buddhist in some ways. Like he keeps up the practice. Fuck, what are you talking about? What? Tim, I keep forgetting, and I'm sure we've spoken about this in previous Schneider-centric podcasts, but you've actually interviewed this man. Yeah, I had a chat with him for about 15 or 20 minutes years ago when I was on the radio. And yeah, we talked about his his buddhism quite a bit
Starting point is 00:18:26 he's um he's a deeply stupid um man but in that way that like is really charming and very quintessentially american just saying really vacuous stuff that everyone else is like yeah of course like yeah that doesn't even warrant saying out loud but saying it with this kind of erudite nature like you've just tripped over this great new philosophy everyone needs to hear from your mouth it's just like i've just just upon uh further um reflection just looking at the state of the world and lots of self-thoughts i've actually realized that if we were all just nice to each other, maybe things would be, you go,
Starting point is 00:19:05 yeah, yeah, nothing, nothing fresh. Nothing. He is kind of anti-vax. He's pretty, he's pretty anti-vax.
Starting point is 00:19:19 He's pretty anti-vax. Yeah. Yeah. And he just moans a lot, which to me at the moment, I guess everyone moans a lot, don't they? It kind of readsx, yeah, yeah. And he just moans a lot, which to me at the moment, I guess everyone moans a lot, don't they? It kind of reads as very right-wing to me, the victim mentality thing. The left had a stronghold over that position for a long-ass time,
Starting point is 00:19:36 but I think victim mentality has been reclaimed by the alt-right. It's crazy to think no one has managed to like squeeze more value from the amount of talent juice that they have inside of their their vessel and to still be aggrieved at your position in hollywood like to be what 55 and totally irrelevant and be given a netflix special on a platter thanks to some fucking crayon postscript on sandler's netflix deal and spend a chunk of it complaining that you're no longer relevant is remarkable and not even to explore it in an interesting way just to like have it as a fucking thing that bothers you before swatting into your asian impressions it's very easy to dump on this guy sloss i'd love
Starting point is 00:20:26 to know if there's anything any premises lines anything that you found funny anything that you would find salvageable as holding comedic potential all all of it really if he went seven layers deeper if he went fucking seven layers deeper into himself look that's an interest that's an interesting angry bloke right he fucking hates women he just hates them all of them some of them he doesn't even know yet but that's something we me and him as a member can explore like i want to like i'm like did does it come from mum like was it that or was it where? Because it's deep fucking hatred. It's such deep hatred for women that he had to bring four of them on at the end and be like, ah, ah, look, I don't. Look, look, they were jokes.
Starting point is 00:21:14 They were jokes. And proof that they're jokes is the fact that they're all here and they fucking love me. And this one sings with me. And even though she's a year old, she calls her mum because they all fucking love me because I love you. I love all women. Anyway, some of them are sluts though i i think i think if you were to like split his time of buddhism to spend half of it in therapy and like actually like there's real pain and real trauma there he mentions his mom and the special he is partially named after her once and it's a throwaway line that he sees very quietly during
Starting point is 00:21:50 a laugh line um from a previous joke where he just says we have a very cold relationship and that's the only thing he mentions about his mom and it's just like whoa tell me more about that now that's a combo i want to see you have on stage is a photo of her at the end yeah it is it's a photo of them together at the end right that's fascinating who is this woman and why does he hate her but why is she still like i want to know what is this this is the thing is he doesn't and i sort of it's occurred to me previously but it really came home to us like he doesn't realize how vulnerable he's being like all of these things are presented as jokes he's finished thinking through but really it's like you know a therapist would have a fucking field day talking this guy because he's laying it all out like
Starting point is 00:22:35 yeah i've worked through all this stuff here are my findings and it's like dude you have not even made a mark on the surface of what is happening inside of you no it's it's it's not even that right he's he's he's done like an archaeological dig of his soul and he's found all of these dinosaur bones in it right and he's showing you his dirt collection like there's a full fucking t-rex in a dying position and he's like but this stone here and you go no no buddy you've done so much work it's all there come on do you reckon he got paid a lot of money for this um i don't i don't know. Because I say that in the context of Guy and I holding a theory for a long time, he's got a sitcom that's on Netflix,
Starting point is 00:23:30 which we believe he may have paid Netflix to put on the network, whereas most people would get paid for their work. It's like entirely self-funded, directed, produced, written, performed. Maybe dropped off with a bag of money um into the netflix office and also he turns up with his own internet cable as well and he's like i won't even take up your bandwidth just just put it on there just leave it there and if people don't watch it that's fine i'm used to that give them the option i find my career is based on that if given the option some people will they'll watch me at times so could you just please yeah the entire
Starting point is 00:24:15 the motivator for a career is like there's 300 million people in america someone at some point will watch this i so i i'm hot off the heels of a very scary uh documentary on netflix called the social dilemma which is all about how ai um taking control of these social media platforms is currently in the process of ripping us apart irrevocably and i think that this special exists because of the same like algorithmic logic that he was briefly in uh what's the wrong missy which did really well on netflix it was and it wasn't it wasn't i watched it i enjoyed it as a movie a lot of fucking great and uh yeah hi and he's in there same director i believe shit really i don't know that because schneider's in there he does this little cameo on the boat
Starting point is 00:25:13 tonguing someone's mouth he's just got an obligation that if it's a schneider verse movie he gets to appear in it somewhere and the algorithm it's like there's a thing about machine learning right with artificial intelligence that they use a technique called a neural net and basically they'll tell the machine this is your starting point and this is the outcome we want no one knows what happens in the middle i think this is what's going to start happening with netflix and what we're seeing now with the special coming out netflix ai is going rob schneider is in that movie that movie did well we will approve the special and i think more of these black swan contractual events are going to be popping up they don't make sense to us mere
Starting point is 00:25:56 mortals but to the machine logical but i mean it's a very very good theory i've been locked in for a long time Dan I've been doing some big thinking I just it's it's I did actually used to enjoy some of his cameos like when I was younger I enjoyed of course
Starting point is 00:26:17 like I love and I will say I liked I really really really liked Adam Sandler's special I'm a I'm a I'm a Sandman fan. I'm willing to admit that he's done some not great things. But in general, I'm a Sandman fan. He gave me my childhood. He gave me my teenage years.
Starting point is 00:26:34 And I've always had a soft spot for Rob Schneider as well, which I was kind of worried about coming on this because I don't want to insult a fucking pro. But how did he get that? fucking pro but that how did he get that like it must it must it must be just the algorithm having the algorithm having an aneurysm i think so i think that's what it's about but but but as you say i mean america's tearing itself apart as well and it's always been pretty there's an audience for rob schneider it's the thing if you want to understand anything about america understand this there is an audience for rob schneider having a special in 2020 they exist yeah they have lives
Starting point is 00:27:12 they buy things and it'll be doing man it'll be doing well he'll be crushing it like i guarantee it like that'll do well his tune will do well off the back a lot of people will have gone you know what rob schneider special was great we're the weirdos if nothing else it's run my algorithm into the absolute fucking ground man no actually i think the fact that you've now watched his special seven times netflix are phoning him up right now and man rob is currently getting the call and he's like yeah yeah yeah no seven times where are they new zealand is it is it still open i'm on my way he's now there's gonna be a rob schneider tour of new zealand based on the fact that somebody watches special seven fucking times we were talking about this guys asked me a couple times in a couple different ways like if so as an audience
Starting point is 00:28:10 member if you tuned up to a comedy special and unannounced rob schneider was on the bill like how would you respond to that comedy show not special oh yeah sorry yeah like a lineup show oh well man i've i've i've haven having gigged in america i've been on bills when somebody weird just fucking like i saw dane cook do one of his returns to stand up after 15 years and you're just like all right okay and some of the how was that it was you know 15 years is a long time yeah 50 years it years is long. It was dead weird because he was on, right? And Miley Cyrus was in the fucking audience, right? So yeah, this was at the Improv in LA.
Starting point is 00:28:51 So there's this table where the comedians normally sit. We weren't allowed to sit there because Miley Cyrus is there. So I'm just sat there waiting to go on stage. Dane Cook goes on before me. It's 15 minutes. And Miley Cyrus really liked Dane Cook. And she was there to see Dane Cook, clearly. But she laughed at all of his jokes,
Starting point is 00:29:06 but she would just repeat the last word of every single one of his punchlines for like 30 seconds after each of his jokes. And it was so weird. He'd do the joke and he'd be like, and then it turned out she was a penguin and everyone would laugh. And then Miley Cyrus would just be like, penguin.
Starting point is 00:29:31 I thought you meant like in a uncontrollable laughter way but saying it just like straight saying it to herself and reminding yourself of the word penguin okay yeah and then you do another one i'd be like clippers and everyone would laugh and she'd be like, ha, ha. Clippers. Guy and I saw him perform once, and it was crazy. Because I remember back in his heyday, like one of my best friends was borderline obsessed with him. Just downloaded all his specials. I loved him. I loved him when I was young. What was the special?
Starting point is 00:29:58 He had one big special. That stadium one that he toured around, eh? Oh, yeah, the one at the black dot or something vicious circle maybe vicious circle that's yeah yeah thank you yeah that was that was uh i don't want to say formative but i remember being introduced to that by a friend and thinking this was just about the funniest thing i've ever seen at the time he was unstoppable he was he was absolutely on fire and then guy and i saw him in la perform yeah potentially after a big break and we were like speaking of dudes who do not like women holy shit that material was spiked
Starting point is 00:30:33 does dan cook not like women either i've not i didn't see any women hanging in my one but was he by with you i'm not above those comedy shows that you go to, like a lineup show, particularly with old pros and they're using it as a therapy session. But to see Dane Cook just shedding some layers about prior relationships was fucking surreal. Yeah. And if you read between the lines, you got the feeling that not all of the problems that Dane Cook were detailing actually lay at the feet of the woman no no no you're telling me that you're telling me
Starting point is 00:31:12 that jane cook might have been responsible no say it ain't soon i don't want to i don't want to shit on your heroes dude dan what do you make of bringing like a concert pianist um and just underscore your thoughts in the middle of your show man man the fucking audacity right if i was can you imagine the fucking uproar right if i was to go on stage right and just be like you know what fucking indians right i've just had it with them right and i'm i don't like their food the way they serve you the food is weird and then i start doing like all the like the voice and i start doing a poo's voice and i start doing head wobbling and i do that for six fucking minutes right just doing the voice being silly saying packy doing all the whole fucking shebang right
Starting point is 00:32:03 and then at the end of it i'm like fucking anyway here's my friend imran on the key just gonna uh self-reflect now on my relationship with my father i'm a complex man i um i've had a i've had a tough life people there's there's something i love about it because he brings out this very good pianist sitting on stage and somehow we haven't like clicked to yet and then he's like okay guys let's talk about me too you're not equipped nothing in the previous 27 minutes has instilled any faith in me you are in any way capable of grappling with this rob schneider's fundamental misunderstanding of me too is that it's actually about rob schneider like it's about me too
Starting point is 00:32:57 also i'm pretty sure after watching it and sharing and chatting with you guys throughout it that that pianist like he he called when he came out on stage that was not a moment on that was to save the show he was like i can't he was so sick he was so sick of rob doing an impression of his entire family just really diminishing all the hard work they've done as second and third generation immigrants. I've got to play him off. He does. This is very plausible.
Starting point is 00:33:35 I've seen this show seven times. I remember how he does it. He walks on and then Rob sees his name. I'm sorry that I've forgotten it in the moment. Do you know his name, Guy? I can recite it. He says it in response to him walking out, not to call him walking out.
Starting point is 00:33:52 So I think you're dead right. This motherfucker needed to prevent this show from going in the basement. And he took it there anyway. I want that. I want that for me. I want different musical accompaniment and i want it to be up to them when and who tags in if i start going super blue and the crowd's not
Starting point is 00:34:15 into it but i feel like i'm hitting my stride and i'm not quite reading the cues right i want a harmonicist to come out and just start doing some blues i think that so that i can break down the unique racial situation of new zealand's ethnic makeup and how we get on together the point at which you're relying on professional musicians to come out and curve your comedic impulses is the point at which it might be time to stop getting up on stage you couldn't do it wrong it's it's so weird as well that like clearly like rob schneider watched adam sanders one where there's like a guitar and he was like he was like what's the what's the adam sanders got the guitar what's the rob schneider musical equivalent of the oh that's
Starting point is 00:34:56 right piano the grand piano and the rest of us were going it would have been way better had three children come out playing the recorder just titanic or fucking would have been way better had three children come out playing the recorder just titanic or fucking old mcdonald had to farm way more it's a kazoo undeniably a kazoo and i don't think played from his mouth but then not only that but to cap off the special by bringing out his grammy nominated daughter like that's a fucking i have brought this up before but just to be like look how far away from the tree it fell a tree on a hill cool as shit she sounds incredible like i get the sense she's a cool person there's just a maturity about her that that reads to me like she's a cool person there's just a maturity about her that that reads to me
Starting point is 00:35:45 like she's a cool person and i've brought this up in a prior episode but don't you just get the sense that those two have been through some shit to get their relationship to the point where they can hang out in public together like they've had some big convos and i reckon years of estrangement and a lot of forgiveness on her part it's not come to the table no no no it's it's been a lot of hers has been self-reflection a lot of her therapists saying no obviously you can't change your father there are things in your control and out of your control al and rob schneider unfortunately is not in your control rob schneider is not under anyone's control And that's why people are afraid of him. That's what they don't want you to know.
Starting point is 00:36:29 How old was he when she was, what is she now? She's like 30. What did she say? She was 35 now? She'll be 31. She was born in 89. 89. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:41 So Rob was like, was he in his mid-20s when she was born i can't do the maths yeah that sounds about right that's how things used to be done that's right rob schneider is nothing if not traditional but also remember he wanted he wanted her the other one was the accident yeah that's true i think he's got three now. Fuck, man. How brutal would it be? It's difficult. Having a partner who's a comedian is certainly a tricky thing, and it is not for everyone. And if you're in a relationship with someone who's not in the arts at all,
Starting point is 00:37:19 or particularly not in the performing arts, it's quite weird and confronting, and I imagine not a very good time, especially if you're someone who likes your personal privacy and whatnot. To sit side of stage while you see your husband deliver a special, unpacking the Freudian nightmare, which is his deep-seated hatred of women, and calling you out personally, no less than seven times in an array of gags. And then having to like walk out with the with the door and you know that they
Starting point is 00:37:46 don't talk you know that she and al have never been able to have a conversation oh i feel for her it's um i it's the daughters it's you know you get to the daughters don't have agency so that's fucked up and i'm angry about that well no i think that i want to be fair i i i understand where you're coming from i will tell you now as a three-year-old i would have absolutely loved to be brought on stage and get the chance to yell hi to an audience i think they had the time of their lives then hi but he rips the microphone out of one of them when she starts saying her name and they will laugh at her. It's fucked up. That would scar me for life. She's displaying agency.
Starting point is 00:38:29 And that close with a picture of my mother who I don't talk to. And that's the point where the convo cut out. Sorry about that, guys. Sorry about that, Daniel Sloss. But, hey, at least we had something. That has been Overlooked and Undercooked Season 3. Trust you enjoyed it. We will catch you guys on the next season
