I've just got one more mouthful to go. Just take the microwave. No. Hello and welcome along to Overlooked and Undercooked, a podcast in which we analyze Rob Schneider's efforts to challenge the traditional TV show business model by self-producing, writing, directing and starring in his semi-autobiographical series, Real Rob. I'm Guy Montgomery. I'm Tim Batt.

And I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome our guest for this episode, world-famous Australian comedian, Becky Lucas. Hello, guys. Sorry, I've just seen something. Is this on Netflix? Yeah. Did you not know that? I thought you just had found it on the internet,

like on a website. Well, we did. We found it on the very prominent streaming website, Netflix. All right. Very funny. But are you serious? Yeah, definitely. So they bought it.

Well, a good question. Okay. So Rob, what we do know is that he produced this himself. So we think he self-funded it. I personally have a theory. We know he self-funded it. He donated it. I think he paid money to netflix to put it on rather than the usual course of events where they buy it i think he sold it for less than what it cost him to make to netflix just

so that someone would see it so in that way he is challenging the traditional tv yeah yeah he has really he's a real disruptor. Yeah, sure. Come on and throw your money around. So the episode we just saw is called Gaying in Shape. It's the fifth episode of the first season. Yeah. What did you think?

Have you seen any real Rob before? No, haven't tuned in. How do you like it? It's so fucking bad. But it's, I mean, it's refreshing, I guess. It's crazy. I mean, it's really, really crazy. Because I guess these famous people just get indulged.

Like, he's just indulged. He's not. You know. As far as the Hollywood system goes, he's certainly, you know, he's getting fed, but he's pretty maln he's as far as the hollywood system goes he's certainly you know he's getting fed but he's pretty malnourished like yeah i know i know i know he's not a huge famous guy but it's like you know everyone knows someone on the cusp of mental illness especially in comedy yeah and it's like all it would take was is for them to just get a bit too much money and power and just lose their minds. They'd wear it out in public.

Do you think that's what we're seeing Becky? Yeah. I think he just was like a nutcase who got, you know, lucky early on. He had a couple of things happen for him and now it's, he's just, yeah.

I mean, it's, he's lost his mind. This is crazy. I should have told you at the start, but what I quite enjoy is for our guests to give us like a plot synopsis of the episode. So can you just by memory, and I'll remind everyone that we have literally just watched the thing. Can you tell us what happens?

Because I can't remember. Yeah, I was eating a bowl, a nourishing bowl. You look good. It was good. So his wife implied that he was unattractive to gay people. And he was like, nah, I'm not. So he went to the gym. But also he's got a child whose birthday was coming up.

It's called a B-plot, right? Yeah. So alongside him trying to get rammed by a dude. Yeah. He's trying to keep his child healthy needed to have a healthy birthday party the only way rob schneider knows how gmo free gmo free and there was also a bear that he wanted to get to perform um and then the bear was played by yeah so, so I mean... Do you know what?

I don't know what happened. You might have scrubbed it up pretty well, but that is the closest thing this show has had to an episode with some sort of plot that actually follows through. All three of those threads are pursued through the entirety of the episode. Yeah.

They're pursued. We get to see him... Not to completion, but they're pursued. I liked it when they all converged. Like, I liked it when... It's a unique device. I mean, yeah, with the TV show, it's like a donkey with a spinning wheel.

What's a donkey with a spinning wheel? Exactly. Yeah. So, like, it was very amusing because in this, in previous episodes, his obsession has been with the idea that anyone would think

he's impotent. There's a whole episode where his entire insecurity is the idea that anyone would think he can't get an erection. And it's funny to see these insecurities laid bare. Another one,

you get to see it with his fame. And this one, it's that he's, like his obsession is the idea that he would be unattractive to gay people. Why? Like. Because it's a funny narrative. I guess it's funny. It's funny.

Don't you get comedy, Becky Lucas? No, I don't. This is what humor is. This is what's funny. The people want it. Yeah. The people want rampant homophobia for 32 minutes well that's the thing it's almost like he's trying to be like i'm i'm woke because like you know i wouldn't have

sex with a gay person but then he later goes on to be like claustrophobia is the gayest of the phobias literally a quote from rob in the show i i don't think there's any effort there's no conscious there's no awareness in Rob Schneider's world of the concept of wokeness. In New Zealand, if you were 14 years old and you said that at school, your mate would fucking bowl you up about it. Really?

Absolutely, yeah. You couldn't get away with calling somebody... You're rewriting history. You're rewriting history. Like, yeah, we were all very woke at 14. Mark my five words. If you were in even a high school, starting off in a high school in New Zealand at the moment,

and you said something was the gayest fear, you'd get fucking hauled over the coals for that. I'd like to think so. You speak highly of our high school system, but if I remember high school, which I'm fairly certain I do. You went to an all-boys school. Someone's being called gay at all times. To be fair, I went to a pretty progressive

school yeah um so anyway okay so you're right like that is kind of the plot there's a fucking teddy bear in a kid's party and and rob's rampant homophobia at one point he's is it the nanny who's a gay who's a guy he's just a guy he's a dancer so his wife this isn't explained in this episode but she's setting up one of the. One of the overarching narratives of the season. Someone was like, she needs something, Rob. Yeah. She can't just be there to facilitate your wacky adventure. Well, that's what her job is, to facilitate his wacky adventures.

So she's hired, which is from the entire storyline's birth, she's assembling a male variety or dancing show. Yeah, a review show. A review show. Like a strip club for the ladies. Yeah. And so she's assembled all these beautiful muscular men who sort of they all get together at Rob's house

and that sort of is a vehicle for him to be like Why are there so many cocks in my house all the time? Yeah, right, right. And one of them gets hired as a live-in nanny and Rob's obsessed, which is who you saw, he's obsessed with the idea that he's gay even though he loudly and insistently repeats the fact

that he is not okay but it's funny to always question him yes yeah of course yes

you can tell by the way we're laughing as far as we remember I'm smirking yeah yeah you can't hear it but I'm smirking did you have any moments

in the ep that got a real rise out of you got an actual laugh I reckon when he asked when the nanny's holding his child, and he said, what did he say? Something about sucking dick? He said, so I could get my dick sucked.

Yeah. So that's... Yeah, he's like... I've written one of them down, I think. It's like a shock comic. You love the shock value of it. But it's like, there love the shock value of it but it's like there are people that play classical music to their baby when they're in the tummy to give them like you know

the best start in life and your kid is two and you're talking about sucking getting your dick the lead in line for that was uh what if i just grabbed your dick so this is when he's wrestling with the idea that he's unattractive to him and. He says to his straight nanny, he says, That's wild. That's a wild thing to say and such a crazy thing to put in a show. I know. And then to put the show out there for all of us to see. He mustn't have had anyone script editing. Absolutely not wife and his assistant and friend jamie they all did it

together they're all co-conspirators just a fucking bunch of it's nuts i'm not gonna say the word but let's just say they wouldn't say that word at tim batts high school was it the c-word no oh did i use that at your high school? What cunts? Yeah. Yeah, I'm from New Zealand, mate. Of course. But it has way less gravity, you know,

in our Australasian neck of the woods than it does stateside. Yeah. God, it lands like a lead balloon there. I tell you what. It really pummels into people's ears. I would like to say this episode provided me with the heartiest laugh that I have genuinely had at the show, which was the accidental pedophile sort of riff initially and then that entire plot thread I thought

Talk us through that a little Well Rob and his assistant Jamie are shopping for party goods and they're sort of asking a lot of questions that aren't becoming of two adults shopping at a party store they're saying what sort of candy can't kids stop eating? Where do you keep your duct tape and your garbage bags? And I was laughing along even then

and I realized afterwards that it was because it is the first sort of time that they have executed any sort of joke structure that they are attempting to. Like it was the first time that all the bit,

all the jigsaw pieces fit together. It was a pretty shitty jigsaw, but you're like, yeah, we did it. They would have been so happy after that yeah solving the children's word jumble at the restaurant but then they keep coming at you like by the time jay the the beer that they hire they we're gonna get a regular one for like fifteen hundred dollars for an hour the most famous popular kids fifteen thousand dollars

a day is the is the beer that's the beer that you gotta get and then they found an alternative website holy fuck the web page which they display prominently on screen is not a anything that exists in the digital realm it is a fucking tiny little photo of this knockoff beer and just the words 80 a day in comic sans it's like there's it's it's not even a fucking browser it's just this picture with a word it's so crazy of course they hire this beer which is a you know i mean becky you're a pretty you know yeah and so you would have seen an opportunity for comedy from a mile off yep who's gonna play the bear who did play the bear jamie that's right the assistant the beer arrived drunk yeah and then jamie and another part that made me laugh jamie was revealed to have claustrophobia which rob schneider calls the gayest of all the phobias

then rob schneider somehow convinced him to do it by kicking him in the lower back yeah he kicks the weakest part of the body the weakest part of the pack. It's so true. You can tell he's sort of, like, paralyzed somewhere. He kicks him down a flight of stairs. He really does. This is while he's having a panic attack. And this is a man who, on the episode, is confessed to be Rob's best friend. And he rolls down the entire flight of stairs and lands in front of the kids,

who are all laughing and applauding, because this is obviously the entertainment. This is, is what the fifteen thousand dollar goliad train clown bear actually does is huge physical gags anyway he gets severely concussed and is driving home and he gets pulled over by the police driving home in the alcoholic bears car which reeks of booze and vomit he gets pulled over the cops like have you been drinking it's no sir but he's heavily concussed best performance by jamie in the goes, no, sir. But he's heavily concussed. Best performance by Jamie in the whole season as well. Yeah, it is,

because he's playing someone who's mentally deficient in the scene. Anyway, the cop shines a torch and he goes, hmm, candy, like empty candy bags. And he shines it and he goes, duct tape with garbage bags.

And that's what we call a callback. Yes, exactly. That is what we call a callback. They pulled that one off. Yeah. Bricky, I don't know if you enjoy that one as much as Guy and I, because we've seen so many jokes

that don't even work. They don't even get to enjoy that one as much as Guy and I because we've seen so many jokes that don't even work. They don't even get to the finish line of a punchline. Yeah. But this was real. Yeah, I was going to say, not a bad show. Pretty good app. Hey, give this a rating. Give this your IMDB Becky score.

Oh, like zero. You can't. It's not a TV show. Hold on. Out of five, though. Out of five. Yeah, zero. But It's not a TV show. Hold on. Out of five, though. Out of five. Still a zero. Yeah, a zero. But it's not a show.

It's like a recorded breakdown, I guess. Can I parrot back a quote that you said during the show after a particularly mean-spirited bit of Rob Schneider comedy? Sure. Which was, it's almost okay that he does this shit because he's so tiny. Oh, yeah. He's so small. It's yeah, he's so small.

It's like, you know how people don't train their little dogs because they're like, well, they're so little. It's like if you have a German Shepherd, you have to train it because it'll kill someone. But he's so small that it's like, yeah, sure, make your little... This tiny little man will never have a platform. He's giving him money and movie deals and TV. But he's so small that it's like, yeah, sure, make your little... This tiny little man will never have a platform. He's giving him money and movie deals and TV.

You said that, and then the next line that Rob Schneider said was inside of a sauna with two other men at a gym, and he says, there's crazy pussy up there. That was a genuine laugh from me because I so didn't see it coming. He's trying to, to like sniff out where the gay guys are in the um gym so that he can try and get them to hit on him so he can allay his own insecurities and yeah so he walks into the steam room where two guys are just chilling out having a sit and uh he goes crazy pussy yeah it's the first time we're pussies prepared it's just like jesus christ rob what is your sacred cow on this?

You've made fun of disabled people. Yeah. The Chinese. Mexicans. Now gay guys. Phobias. I think the funny thing is people think he's Mexican.

He's not. Yeah, I kind of thought he was. Everyone kind of thinks he can get away. It's like, no. He's Filipino, apparently. Is he? His maternal grandmother is Filipino. But I think the spirit and tone of this show is like

if your uncle with the worst sense of humour out of all your uncles got to make a comedy show on TV. Yes, yes, yes, yes. All the shit that... That's exactly right. That they find funny is just laid out. If you've got a big enough family and you're the sort of family that gets to gather over Christmas,

there's always the bad uncle there. But Rob Schneider's even like a pretty bad version of that. Yeah. For most families. He's caught fire at a few Christmases though. He's what? He caught fire at a few Christmases though.

And so you forgive it a little bit. Everyone had a few wines. They're like, oh, just let him spin out. We'll let the real go a little bit on this. I've got so many of those. Still reliving Christmas of 2007. You've got so many Christmases. I've just let them spin out. We'll let the real go a little bit on this. I've got so many of those. Still reliving Christmas of 2007. You've got so many Christmases.

I've just got very bad uncles. Oh, really? I've come from bad stock. Oh, true. I do. I do come from bad stock. I have an uncle. He's so annoying that he's tried to buy three women from third world countries.

Jesus. To come over and be his wife. And all three of them have chosen to go back. Goddamn, Becky. Yeah, I'm serious. It's crazy. Not a very astute businessman then. No.

The last one went back after a military coup. We've returned to a military coup. Rather than stay with your uncle in Australia. Yeah, yeah. Oh my God. He's the worst. He's the worst. Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. He's the worst. He's the worst.

Yeah, he certainly doesn't sound great. Another thing that they did in this episode, which was returning to a narrative device they've used previously, they go back to the comedy club or soundstage where he records comedy. Yeah, why not? Cam James called the smile and nod. And this is something they haven't done before but he parents he says a joke that he sort of

addressed in a scene between him and his wife at the start of the show he's played out yeah the concept of the joke which is like it's the first time

they've used the stand up performances for that express purpose of directly tying but he did it in the wrong fucking order because you're

supposed to do that like if you're Seinfeld you open the episode by briefly doing a broad stroke joke about some subject matter that you drill into with specificity in the scenes. But he did the fucking scene and, like, ended the episode on the broader gag about it. It was like, what are you doing, you maniac?

I imagine him watching Seinfeld and being like, I'm going to flip it. Born disruptor, Our Rob Schneider This is what happens When he gets out of That long shadow Of Adam Sandler And he is able to fly Totally

Yeah Adam was The one keeping him Just there Who saw that coming eh Yeah Adam was Shushing him Fuck Some people need a shusher

Best consumed In very small doses Yeah it's difficult When he's the leading man um big have you ever seen anything like this i mean i guess you know the obvious like the the room or whatever is the most would you liken this to yeah i mean it's just someone being able to do whatever the fuck they want yeah um do you think this is um i don't know i mean yeah it's different but how often do people get to make something

where it's just their vision usually it has to get through a few barricades sure when you're the writer, director, producer

star the pendulum swings both ways though isn't it because you know you don't have to clear a lot of hurdles but there's not a lot

of people to tell you if something's going wrong and then by the time you know it's too late. It's tyrannical television making is what it is. Exactly. And the fact that no one felt safe to tell him is an indicator of how psycho he must be.

He must be an incredibly difficult person to speak to or give feedback to. What do you think of his wife, Patricia, who's in the show prominently? I reckon her tits are the best thing about this show. You're on board for that. I can't believe she's with him well she said this episode was the last one he said that she's 29 and because this is kind of like an autobiographical show i imagine that's probably true because it would be a weird line he's 50 in the show just 50 yeah she keeps talking about how he's 50 so So 20 years, 20 years between them. Because I find it to be kind of delightful, but I think it's because she's always appearing alongside Rob

and she's very beautiful. Yeah, she's got glowing... She's 29. She's always smiling as well, which I like. And the bits where Rob's smiling, I hate him less. Yeah, he has got beautiful blue eyes. No, that's the colour saturation. The entire colour grade has been reverse engineered to make Rob's eyes as blue as possible. him less yeah he has a smiley beautiful blue eyes no that's the color saturation the entire

color grade has been reverse engineered to make rob's eyes as blue as possible and everything every other grade suffers for it norm mcdonald appeared a couple weeks ago and he looked because he's got naturally quite lovely baby blues and he looked fucking bizarre he was he looked cgi yeah no she's quite she's quite sweet, but him and her in a writing room, fuck. Are we punching up? Yeah, yeah, I guess. I mean, it's hard to know what his mental situation's like.

How genuine is your concern for his, well, not concern, but curiosity, wondering about his state of mind? I mean mean i don't give a fuck at all yeah um but yeah he's clearly very sad and i guess the more you do stuff in showbiz you know which you guys are a part of the more you realize that people aren't untouchable and like you know figures that aren't are above us or whatever like he's still a person and he's just weirdly had access. You know when someone becomes famous, they still have all the same shit. It's just worse.

He must have a terrible mental state. Are you worried about him? No, I don't worry about him. But I just think on a Wednesday night, what's he doing? What is he doing, Vicky? I don't know like i just reckon he'd have like four beers and be psychotically scrolling on his phone he does four beers and he does stand-up comedy yeah he just self-tapes stand-up comedy to no one to put

on his self-funded and self-made tv or he's one of those dudes like those older guys in comedy who starts supporting everyone you know like he's always like quote tweeting shit and like writing on everyone you know when you see like people who has been always writing on up-and-comers instagrams like haha love this he'd do heaps of love this on i've been commenting quite a lot on your instagrams lately so it's interesting you'd bring that up in that particular context but your star's on the wane, I'm afraid, Montgomery. I think I'm older than you. Nah.

What, really? Becky, how old are you? I'm turning 29 this year. Oh, true. I thought you were 26 for some reason. That's so nice. Thank you. Is it?

Yeah. Okay. How old are you? I am 29. Oh, okay. Beat you. So Becky, okay. So yeah, because I actually thought you were a couple of years younger than us, but you're

not. But were you a fan of Rob Schneider's previous career? I mean, weren't we all? So Becky Okay So yeah Because I actually thought You were a couple years younger than us But you're not But were you a fan of Rob Schneider's Previous career? I mean Weren't we all? Yeah I think I think that's right I think that's true

And we were wrong to be Well when we go I don't know After seeing this I have no desire to revisit What those films were I recently watched Juice Bigelow

Mal Gigolo First one or second one? First one And? Terrible Is it? Yeah really bad Because I remember like I laughed at that films were i recently watched juice bigelow male gigolo first one second one first one and terrible is it yeah really bad because i remember like i laughed at that when i was 12 or something it was funny i thought he was the best one of the big laugh lines that would get like the catchphrase that get thrown on the playground was always that's huge bitch yeah in retrospect that's not a cherry pick from the movie totally and that's something you will still hear people you went to school with say? So in the last episode where he was obsessed with the idea of his,

it was about his fame, it was called VIP treatment. He, it was pretty much an opportunity for him to run into people who recognized him and they could repeat his filmography back to him. But he wrote that one of the police officers that recognized him would quote back to him like fondly and fawningly. That's a huge bitch he said it as well at the book signing episode where there was a woman who was like probably normal height because he's apparently about 14 or something and she wanted to get a

selfie with him so she put her arm around him yeah and then he like was grossed out and backed away and then he looked on his shoulder and he said oh white um deodorant so And then he looked on his shoulder and he said, oh, white deodorant stain. Then he looked on the other one and he went, oh, it's on the other one too. Beat. That's a huge bitch. It's like, oh, that's sad. I like imagining him having to ask Adam Sandler if he could use it. He's like, hey, man, I know that's your property and all.

I reckon Sandler's got points on that episode as well And then Adam Sandler just calls up all of the other Happy Madison goons And goes, you're not going to believe what Schneider just asked me for He taped it In the group chat Yeah, fuck That is absolutely brutal Fuck

This show, I said this while we were watching it Every time I think we've hit rock bottom Because last episode was wild And it's like each episode is wild in a different way The last episode that we watched with Rose Has so many technical errors in it And they're very big That it kind of blew my mind

Did you see some shit? It was just like a camera that zoomed in Which means something in visual language It's like hey gravitas Or like pay attention to this thing. But it was like an accident. Someone slipped the zoom dial. Yeah, someone just zoomed in. A thousand monkeys working on a thousand typewriters.

But then this episode, so I thought we kind of reached the crippling low of where the show would go. But then this episode was just so fucking crazy, like offensive and weird and just flailing around i stand behind this is the greatest episode of the run that's just because of the pedophilia joke which you're a big fan of but it's not it's not the it's not the contents specific to the joke it shows that there might he might be learning like right that they've actually thought of written out a story beat which follows an entire joke and at each point they got a laugh it only took 35 years of a comedy career and five episodes of his sitcom but he's done it rob schneider um becky what would you say to Can I get a photo?

It'd go off. That's a guaranteed 300 plus likes. Yeah, that would be huge. Becky, you are part of the problem. Name the problem, you're a part of it. That's so good. God, I'm going to get 400 likes for Yeah I reckon Or possibly even 500 Do you think he'll hear this podcast?

I hope so You know I really can't get my mind around Because for some reason when you said it I honestly thought that you had just found these episodes Like he'd made them available online But I cannot believe it's on Netflix Do you think Netflix should be held accountable? I think yeah

Like shouldn't there be a standard or There should be something Yeah Someone should be making calls it's really an offensive show truly and i don't mind offensive it's funny yeah exactly but it's like it's it's offensive in all senses it's kind of like blazing saddles would have jokes on par with this but that was made 50 years ago yeah but it's like it's offensive like the content but also the way it's made like if you're a gay film student oh my god

yeah it would offend everything that you that you're about your entire sensibility would be undermined by this attempt yeah

it's yeah before we wrap up is there anything else that you'd just like to like get on the record about your opinion of what you just saw

this fifth episode of Real Rob um Gaying in Shape Gaying in Shape is that what it's called that was the title your opinion of what you just saw, this fifth episode of Real Rob. Gaying in Shape. Gaying in Shape. Is that what it's called? That was the title.

It's a pun. I mean, yeah. I just want everyone to know that I hated it. And I hate it. You used the word staying in shape. Staying in shape, but he's gone gaying in shape. It's funny. It is funny.

It's clever. What I liked just quickly is it's just everyone it just had no like it was just him being like i'm gonna work out and everyone's like you're gonna work out you'll you'll never work out he's like i can work out someone's like oh you're not gonna work out he's like i can work out it just went for so long it was him creating like the tiniest straw men for him to like bet out of the way on his oh shit

he's at the gym I guess he's working out I guess he's doing the thing no one's also one of the most jarring things about the episode

is he presents the guy who works at the gym presumably he's the operator at the gym is undeniably he's probably got alopecia

yeah because he doesn't have eyebrows or anything and he's a big dude. He's entirely bald. And it is so jarring to see Rob Schneider lob himself up some person who is different from him in any way and then choose to not specifically attack and berate this person for that quality.

Like, it was honestly, the whole time, I was leaning further forward in my seat waiting for the big joke about, oh, by the way, you're bald. Yeah, you have no hair. He's like, he truly, he just, he's crisscrossing the map of like. He's not only failed at everything, but in that particular one, he failed to fail.

Yeah, you failed to be you. Yeah, you're the worst, but at least you are wrong. And in this, you failed to also be wrong. That's right. Becky, while you go. The alopecia man, look,

oh, I hadn't thought about him. Doesn't matter. He looked like the Sydney Roosters winger, Craig Ferguson, who's recently gone off the grog. Oh, right.

Yeah, no, he was, what was I going to say about him? Oh, just that it seems like, like, yeah,

it's diversity they're like we need a guy with alopecia like it's just it's just classic wrong it's just wrong i was do you know this show's got me in such a twist so i was genuinely upset when rob didn't bully that person i was like i was like that's one of your big chances to get one of your jokes out in the show man yeah yeah gone here it is here's a your big chances to get one of your jokes out in the show, man. Yeah. Gone. Here it is. Here's a canvas for you to make fun of. The joke was just that he stole cookies.

Well, he got given them, right? Can I take these cookies? And he goes, they're on the house because he was so disgusted by his behavior. He was odd. I didn't like him in the gym. He took someone's headphone out when they were doing weights. Yeah. Nightmare.

It was the kind of stuff you'd see Larryry david do in curb but like larry david knows exactly what he's doing and it would set up such a great edifice to facilitate the need for him to pull that earphone out totally and then would know what he has done but rob schneider's just like i'm in the gym i'm touching everyone and it's like dude can you fucking we're not on your side i am so stressed out by what you're doing and you will never address it. Yeah, he just has no comic sensibilities at all. That's what I'll say. He's got Rob Schneider's rule of fives.

Yes. Because if a joke doesn't work three times, try it two more. Do it again and then once again. What you said about the pacing, though, I think is really astute because it became very crystal clear in this episode that he telegraphs every scene where you're going to be. And I can't even remember i it was it became very like crystal clear in this episode that he telegraphs

every scene where you're going to be and like he i can't even remember what it was but he said something to kick off a scene and this i was like oh great here we are for the next six minutes yeah and it was it's just it's exactly as you say the pattern is here's exactly what's going to happen now let's talk about it for four minutes and then kind of bail out before we do it Yeah Can I say beyond this episode though That You know Talking about the wider series

That shows development Promise Learning You're lying I'm very excited You're lying to yourself It's like some Yeah it's just like if you gave

The dumbest kid at school Whatever Like just be like yeah write a show That's what it is it's like just some guy on the street be like write a show your uncle's son yeah cousin

just really quickly because I know we're going slightly over for this one but I do want to bring up that I now theorize a different I think maybe we're viewing the show wrong I think there's an unreliable narrator vibe now in that Rob and Becky picking up on what you were saying does have a, how do you say,

either diminished or vulnerable mental state. And because everything is being told from his point of view, I don't think this is his life. And I think Patricia is his nurse in like a psych ward or something. And I think this is what he thinks is his life. Fuck, that's crazy. It's an exciting prospect.

We have three episodes left in the series. Are you fucking serious? I thought the next one was the last. Six, seven, eight, baby. God damn it. Becky, is there anything we don't know when this is going to come out? Is there anything you'd like to say? Plug.

Plug your podcast. Say or play? Plug, I mean. Plug. Say, you know. You should come out with a plug. How funny would that be? If there was a Becky Lucas plug and then there were like any plugs and you literally had one.

Yeah, heaps. Five bucks for a plug. Yeah. I should sell plugs as much. I paid Luke Heggy five dollars for a bottle opener last night. Oh, nice. His merch. Same thing in reverse.

Yeah, I don't know if I've got anything to plug. Where do we follow you, Becky? Where do we find you? Twitter, Instagram. Becky Lucas. Yeah, just I guess follow me, I don't know if I've got anything to plug. Where do we follow you, Becky? Where do we find you? Twitter, Instagram. Becky Lucas. Yeah, I guess follow me. I don't know. Nah, I'm okay, thanks.

Nah, do it. Do it. Do it. It's all right. It's all right on there every now and then. I'd like, well, yeah, you might have a photo with Rob Schneider coming up. I would like to end the episode

with a quote from the episode spoken by the great Rob Schneider. This is perhaps his magnum opus thus far. I'm not gay, but I think my ego is transgender. Bye, everyone. Bye, everyone.
