Episode Date: September 2, 2019

Angered that zombies and vampires have been added to his semi-autobiographical sit-com, Rob quits the show, then finds out he's broke. It's Patricia's opening night and a personal appearance by Ryan Gosling is too expensive so a replacement has to be found.Carlo is a talented improviser, musician and comedian who hosts a live show and podcast named The Bear Pack with Steen Raskopoulos, and HOSTING with Guy Montgomery. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello and welcome along to this, the eighth and final episode in season one of Overlooked and Undercooked, a podcast wherein myself, Kyle Montgomery, and my friend Tim Batt and Rob Schneider's attempt to shake up the TV show business model by self-funding, producing, directing, and starring in his semi-autobiographical TV show, Real Rob. We've just watched the eighth and final episode of season one and we were joined by the wonderful Carlo Ricci. Hello, guys. Hello, Carlo. Is that Carlo Ricci from Hosting?

That's the one. That's me. Far out. Yeah. A real superstar in our midst. Get that a lot. Get that. We put our differences aside over a lot we get that you know we put our differences aside over a lovely helping a real rob it's really it's what a savior to our relationship in many ways oh yeah we were on the we were on the what on the ritz on the fruit i have to say

on the fritz on the rocks your relationship is on the rocks is it on the fritz? Is that a saying? Yeah, on the fritz. If something's... Yeah. I don't know about on the fritz. Well, I guess we all know different things. Carlo, you were a little bit confused by this show because we didn't give you any context. No, but I feel like it was so well written that I could kind of pick up a lot of the backstory

and plot line as we went through it. Yeah, it's a dense, rich tapestry that they've... Yeah, to be honest, I was surprised to hear in the intro that he not only wrote it and directed it, but also funded it himself. I mean, that really speaks for how dedicated he was to this project. This is the first question. Do you have an overwhelming desire to go back and see the seven episodes,

provide yourself with the context necessary? Not one bit. And you came in with an open mind look i i say i i came in this fresh it didn't really need to do much to to take it over the line but um that was certainly how long was that it felt like that was 33 of our earth minutes, Carlo Ritchie. Well, 33 minutes can't get back, I suppose. In the real Rob world, you know, there's no saying how much time passed. Yeah, that was that wild time jump thing they had through that whole episode. You're a Dragon Ball Z fan, Carlo? I haven't really watched much Dragon Ball Z.

There was a place you go to train in Dragon Ball Z which had a hyperbolic time chamber where you could kind of go in and it was, you know, three minutes, but you'd spend seven years in their training. The Narnia of martial arts training. You got it. Fire arts is kind of like that. There was a main challenge of the hyperbolic gravity chamber

was there was Turkish delight everywhere. And you had to resist. And it was always winter. Yeah. There's no greater... Yeah, I mean, there were a lot of... And there was a lion called Aslan. Yeah.

Yeah, there seems like a lot of similarities between Dragon Ball Z and Narnia. No, I think... I don't even know what Dragon Ball Z is. I think I'm just describing Narnia. It's at the back of a cupboard. Hey, Dragon Ball Z all takes place in the back of a cupboard. Yeah, yeah.

That's correct. And ironically, so did this episode of the show. Way to get us back on track, Carlo. Can you take us through the beats of what happened in this show? From top to bottom. So, um... Really chuck that mic in front of your mouth, because it's very echoey in here.

So, the thing that... All right, easy on. We don't need to criticise the space. Cavernous. Yeah. We are recording from inside of a cave, of course. Yeah, things have gotten pretty dire. Up top, as we call it.

But we're hoping that someone gets these emergency broadcasts. Sorry. To keep derailing you. To go into the show, I think... Did it open on him going for lunch? Yeah. It opens in the world of the sitcom that he's creating. That's right, that's right.

I mean, it's a very important beat of the show. It opened up in the sitcom that he's created. It gets a take by zombies, which happened there. Then there was someone who forgot his line. And Rob was pretty irate with that, may I say. Well, yeah. Had you seen the previous seven episodes, you'd know that this guy's got quite a temper. someone who forgot his line and rob was pretty all right with that may i say oh yeah have you seen the previous seven episodes you'd know that this guy's got quite a temper and he's not afraid to show it unedited and uncut yeah look i mean in a nutshell it was was the he he'd lost all of his

money was bankrupt had to try and piece it all together a delightful uh series of events unraveled from that point and what was the resolution of the episode i mean what what did we see how we live i feel like you glossed over a lot as well you went there were zombies at the opening of a sitcom and then it was broken here we it all kind of chimed into a single white noise in my mind Can you hum the frequency of that ep? It's got an annoying noise. I feel like that. Can I say quickly, I thought that the sitcom was probably,

had the promise to be a more enjoyable, it might have just been variety, but it had the promise to be a more enjoyable show. No, I wanted to stay in it. I wanted to see what was going on with those. What did they describe them as? Vampies. Or zompares. Zompares. Zompares. A zompares. those uh what did they describe them as them zombies there's a zombie zombie zombie a zombie there was a what i do you know what i did enjoy though when he was on the set of the sitcom he's

interfacing with the writer of the show so carla what you've missed is there's been a lot of network meetings and stuff that rob had to go to that's a real shame because that's for me the best part of any sitcom is sort of seeing the seeing the behind the scenes process of where it was made and there was a lot of back and forth about rob trying to get his idea for putting his life onto a tv show um and in the network's note was to have these supernatural villains in it the zombies and the vampires and then to have that back and forth with the writer where he's like the writer's like rob i know funny and this is funny i was like i want this is good i like this so yeah the writer had a line which was i was head writer on she stole my face and that was a genuine laugh line for both carlo and tim

it's a funny name for a show describe that show carlo uh it's a kind of neo-noir horror film in which a damsel comes in to the detective's office and he goes, come into the light, and she steps in and has no face. And the laughs just keep rolling from there. So she's stealing faces to cover the blank slate that is her face. That's right, yeah. And this femme fatale's come in, it's like, oh, my face is gone.

We've got to investigate it. You've got to bring me my face before the next full moon. You know, all the classic tropes of a good comedy. Yeah. It sounds immensely watchable. It sounds very good. The other laugh line that followed immediately after that, that got both of you guys again,

Tim, you're in a real laughing mood today, which I love, was, you're nice people, I like you, you're in a real laughing mood today, which I love. It was, you're nice people. I like you. You're tall, good-looking Jews. You're good for the tribe. That's what I laughed at. You're good for the tribe. You're also both blonde.

I don't know where that came in. Yeah, that's right. And that, I mean, I agree. Like, this is all still in the world of the sitcom. This was the closest we got to a well-made comedy in the season. Can I try and defend my position of a laugh at that point the rest of the show every attempt at comedy is so surface level it's like slapstick or just crazy him being racist on a stand-up stage

while doing a bad impression of his wife which we know the impression is terrible because he's just showing a scene of his wife talking yeah but with this it was like an attempt at a uh i don't know sort of an an inward it was like a reflection on him and a broader sort of social commentary thing and it was like you're giving some other shit a go this good on the sitcom thing sinking your teeth no no the the comment about oh yeah you're tall good looking, you're giving some other shit a go. The sitcom thing. You're sinking your teeth. No, no, no. The comment about you're tall, good looking, you're good for the tribe. It just caught me off guard.

I was like, this hasn't been attempted before. I like it. The sitcom presumably was Rob's attempt. Because as we well know, this is him shaking up the industry. Obviously, after years of frustration at these sort of meddling network executives. What level are you talking in? Because he's trying to shack up the industry with the show we watched well no inside the world of the show he's just i'm talking about the show we watched but inside of it the sitcom that he's made is so heavily compromised by these notes from network execs

saying you got to put supernatural stuff in it this is a cry for like this is like he's providing the evidence as to why the show we've watched exists do you think that this whole film like the film this whole series it's filmic it's filmic

certainly the mezzanine scene was was beautiful but do you think the whole thing is smarter than us

like it's all an inward joke and the the punchline no no us you got heaps of money in a box i don't know like nothing matters to me your world is rubbish he does he is obsessed with being rich in this show which is why him losing all of his money in this episode was like there was the biggest attempt he could make to to draw some empathy out of the audience what's so what sucks is that they didn't drill into him taking on his family who have bled him dry he's had one previous

mention of his family who he refers to from memory as fame whores and thieves he's always it's great it's a crazy thing to put in your autobiographical series about your own life and uh in this one so his his wife maxes or she goes to buy some wine for her big opening night for the review show and she can't pay for the wine because all the credit cards maxed out and this leads to rob finding out that his family have been fleecing him for years so somehow they got a credit card attached to his account first of all that's not a thing yeah people secretly using your account you can't go to i couldn't go to the bank and go uh yeah i just want to grab a

credit card attached to my brother's bank accounts is that cool you're great not a thing at all for good reason this happens yeah yeah it is an odd thing as well i also like that he's never in the years up to this point, checked his bank statement. Not once. But as soon as it's revealed to him, he can point him like, yes, that is one of my transactions. I can read that in a bank chart. There was a good gag, actually.

He was like, who bought a hooker on a credit card? Who spent this amount at something? Who spent $2,000 at a Whole Foods? Oh, wait a minute. That was me. That was not a good gag, Tim. You didn't laugh. I was right now

and you didn't even laugh at the show. I think I'm being sarcastic but I'm so browbeat and I don't even know at this point. No, that was sort of something within

Rob's rule of fives which we also saw again in this episode. And again and again. Yeah. It was sort of like any scene was just like just revert to that.

We could almost call it seeing as the season lasts eight episodes, Rob's rule of eight. So the first one isn't funny. Keep going because eventually one of them will be. I actually thought this episode, and Carlos, sorry to chip you out of this portion of the discussion, but I thought this episode compared very favorably to the rest of the season. For reference though, we had like a two-week break. So we watched six episodes in one day and then like one, two weeks later.

So this was always going to have an easier, a softer landing. I have only watched one episode and I hope that I never watch another episode again. I don't know how this rates to the rest of the series, but frankly, I don't really want to find out. Very well. I would call this potentially the best episode of the season.

So in the last episode of the podcast, also in the last episode of the show, we were speculating as to whether or not Ryan Gosling would appear. I believe Carl Donnelly owes me $5. I think it's me. I think I am the owner of the $5. Oh, there you go. So Ryan Gosling features heavily, or the idea of Ryan Gosling

features heavily, because Rob's wife is opening this male strip club which she's been working towards all season, just toiling away in the background, mostly to provide context for Rob to make his vaguely homophobic, well, quite outwardly homophobic jokes. And Rob's promised that

Ryan Gosling will make an appearance for quite a significant sum of money. 300,000 US dollars. So he discovers after being broke, he's like, well, I can't get Ryan Gosling and so they are forced to scramble. And the way they scramble is and you noticed, you caught this at the top of the luncheon didn't you? That's right.

There's a very active background of that homeless man, you know. There was a story there. There was plot. There was movement. Bless you. Thank you. I'm allergic to people saying good things about the show. The thing is, though, this show has been so unskillfully shot up till now

that I think both Guy and I were like, ah, here's another thing they've fucked up. They've got some extra who's hopped up on coca-cola acting up a storm in the background window of this uh lunch to their credit because they obviously they were never going to get ryan gosling the guy they got looks a lot like ryan gosling didn't make you take a second but fuck me did that guy look like ryan gosling didn't he yeah he really beyond that, he was homeless, which was a great source of multiple gags from both Rob and his assistant, Jamie. It's certainly an area ripe for gags, you know, especially if you're making a show about being broke

and not having any money. It's really the perfect target. It's difficult to emphasise, you know, just how little Rob cares about anyone who isn't rob in this show carlo alice sneddon new zealand comedian asked us uh at one point when we told her about this show do you guys think you might be punching down uh whereby you make fun of someone who's at a lower status than yourself this is literally an episode where they just offload onto street people yeah people sleep and rough accordingly i'd like

to ask you carlo do you think are we punching up i'd say you're punching up come on guys it's rob schneider you know he's the guy that in the films uh of adam sander used to yell uh you can do it that's him of course you're punching up you get yell, you can do it in the back of an Amazon. You can just, improv that line. That was improv. I don't doubt it. The other thing he says in this,

just before discovering he's broke, he's bragging how rich he is again. He says, I have enough money. I did 17 movies with Adam Sandler. Beautiful, honest moment in the film. Well,

the honesty comes next because his agent says, fuck Adam Sandler. Yeah, that's as close as... Rob will write jibes at Adam Sandler for other people in his show to say. Exactly. He can't risk it. He can't do it.

He's made 17 films. That's the bulk of his income. Overwhelmingly, that is also like his fingerprints are all over it. He wrote and directed and produced this show. You can't feed the line to someone else and hide behind that. Like you haven't constructed that comment on Adam Sandler. Come on. Adam, you know how the industry works.

You know how these productions get put together. That's Rob. Rob's telling you that. That's Rob's commentary. Adam knows as well as anyone how to just muck around with your friends on set. This is the thing. So grown-ups too, to just muck around with your friends on set. It looks... This is the thing. So, Grown Ups 2,

it looked like they at least had fun on set because they were all friends who were just making millions of dollars hanging out at a... They were laughing at us. Yeah. But real Rob, it does not...

There's no like... Because it didn't... The on-screen chemistry of Grown Ups 2 didn't necessarily work. It didn't make for an enjoyable viewing experience. But you were like, well, at least they had a good time doing it. Here we go. Grown Ups 2 didn't necessarily work. It didn't make for an enjoyable viewing experience. But you're like, well, at least they had a good time doing it. Here we go.

Grown Ups 2 is a passion project without the passion. Real Rob is a passion project without the project. Scathing. It's just someone who wants to do something who's unable to do it. But he gave it his best shot, didn't he? I guess so. He got two seasons out of it Carlo let me ask you this

what did you make of Rob Schneider's real life wife who's on this show because I'm enamoured by her oh yeah she's an interesting

character isn't she she is it makes me fascinated to know if Rob Schneider is married in real life oh that's her that's his real wife

that's why I say his real life wife that's his real wife that's why i say her his real life yeah yeah yeah the show wrote the show the show she co-wrote it was written by rob patricia and jamie lasso who plays his assistant his hapless assistant who's just a dumping ground yeah he really gets shat on doesn't he oh man does he what i mean you haven't seen these other episodes but he's literal like he is he is rob Schneider in Rob Schneider's own show. It's a vasectomy and a colonoscopy on Rob's behalf. I can't even remember who it was on that episode,

but they said the follow-up should have been, he has to get a lobotomy before he gets one tested out. Imagine if the rest of the show was just a lobotomized personal assistant for Mr. Schneider. Imagine if that was the show was just a lobotomized personal assistant for mr schneider imagine if that was the show from there on in a guy who has no frontal lobe trying to navigate the world of tasks like laundry and stuff it's like a mindless if only for the purpose to expand the bullseye that Rob has firmly pinned on Jamie's back. It's like, how can I create myself more opportunities

to make fun of someone? I'll remove their frontal lobe. Give a PA an IQ of 17 and then put them out in the world in charge of tasks for Rob Schneider. That's a show I would find. It's Rob Schneider finding a way to literally make fun of mentally handicapped people in front of everyone?

He loves it. He loves it. I reckon he pitched that idea. I reckon he did. I think he did too. It's not entirely unlikely. The other thing that, again, you wouldn't have known this, but what frustrated me is he abandoned all of the devices he had used in previous episodes. Oh, you're right.

There's no talking heads in this. So in other episodes, he uses talking reality TV style heads. Like interviews. Yeah, they go down the camera. Add, you're right. There's no talking heads in this. So in other episodes, he uses like talking reality TV style heads. Like interviews. Yeah, they go down the camera. And they dress down the barrel. Also, stand-up. Like looking at you Ferris Bueller style. Intercut with stand-up comedy.

But it's not quite Ferris Bueller because it's like talking heads. But then another time, he did break the fourth wall Ferris Bueller style. He also would intercut him doing stand-up comedy on what looked like a soundstage to know people. And then in this episode, all it was was was like let's have a crack at pathos like let's let's put some jazz music underneath what's happening and hope it passes as genuine emotion like a sitcom by numbers just

fill it all in put everything in and see how i've seen this done on a show before i watched survivor there's a bit where they talk to the camera yeah Yeah, I feel like there's that great episode of Seinfeld where they pitch a show about nothing. What if I stretch that out to eight seasons and put every single possible thing from a sitcom in the last 20 years in? Most unsatisfying part of this episode, they name-check a lot of famous comedians and don't put any of them in this ep.

They talk a lot about Norm Macdonald replacing him on his own sitcom when he bails out and we don't get to see him again. And you gotta chuckle out of that too. Norm would be great for the job. Oh yeah, that was because yeah so the network, Rob has one day on set

hates the show, bails quits, calls his manager and he's like you gotta get me out of this contract. And so he gets replaced. And his assistant is like, he would be great. And then he slaps him. That was the bit that cracked me up. He loves to slap his assistant.

But that hadn't happened in an episode before. I was caught off guard. The slapping wasn't a callback? When he says, Norm would be great for the show. Instant bomb Not even a beat goes by Bomb He gets slapped

That's funny stuff guys That's funny stuff That's someone getting physically hurt In the mood space That obviously got you in the mood Because you got another real good chuckle When the Ryan Gosling lookalike Was doing his dance

And a lady goes to approach him on the stage And he just like puts his He kicked her in the face it was never dealt with there was never a follow shot no never kind of fitting out everyone i would never want to see that in real life i hate like america's funniest home videos and and and fail armies i love fail army i hate those shows because it's just people getting injured and i hate seeing people getting injured in the in the real world but when it's like depicted on screen fuck it cracks me up he just booted someone in the face and all the other women continue to go wild there was one so in a previous

episode at the very mention i think of ryan gosling uh they're being served at like a store some sort of i can't remember exactly what the store was, but the lady behind the counter, they say the name Ryan Gosling and she has a full-blown orgasm on hearing about Ryan Gosling. That's the power that that name carries, you know? It's incredible. So in this episode, there was one of the extras, of the 20 extras they had for the big launch of the the male all-male strip club

uh a woman was grunting as though the suggestion of an orgasm was to arrive but they cut away like they exercise some i guess i have a look i have a question so when you were guy when you guys were explaining the backstory of this the i i was under the impression that was just like a one-off show that strip show but that is a club she's opening a strip club yeah it's the first time we saw the club but yes you're right yeah it's the opening of the club that's the opening night of a club which will she now owns this club which will now keep going this is mind-boggling. I... Oh, God. Didn't they make it all so obvious? Didn't they neatly catch you up throughout the episode?

I thought that it was just a show that she had been preparing for. You well could be forgiven for that conclusion. So that is the opening of an all-male strip club. Yeah. That she owns. That Patricia owns and runs. It's her job. And the premise of this show was the fact that they were bankrupt.

Well, that was this episode. They've been rich the whole... They've made a real point of explaining how rich and famous... Well, they're still rich at the end of this. It's a great little... Oh, actually, explain what happens, Carlo. Oh, yes. So, Rob and Patrice...

Did you say Patrice? Patricia. Patricia are in bed. They're talking about how they're going to have to Do some budgeting They use as You point out The classic

Rob Schneider rule of five Different Funny options Getting funnier Every one I think And Do you remember any of them? Maybe fly

Of the show we just Finished watching Maybe fly business class Instead of first class some of the time. And I think we can all agree that's relatable humor. The very idea of it is preposterous. And then Patricia reveals that she has been saving, I don't know, how much do you reckon was in there?

A couple of hundred thousand dollars? Hard to say, but yeah. I mean, they're notes of money. So they've got to be stacks of, the most that could be is a hundred dollar bill. You'd say they're a hundred dollar bills. So there's probably like $10,000 in there. What is in there?

How many notes are in a stack? You know, a traditional television stack of cash. How many notes are we doing? I reckon you probably have, I'd say. Is it a hundred? You'd have a hundred of hundreds. So that's 10 grand per stack. Gee whiz.

You reckon there's 100 in a stack? Yeah. I reckon there could be. It is paper, after all. True. Although, papers can be anything. How many sheets of paper are in there when you buy an A4 block for your printer?

To that I say, Carly, how many cabs in New York City? How many angels on a pen? Exactly where my mind went also. This will be confusing for everyone who hasn't listened to this fantastic podcast series. Hosting. I'd just quickly like to say, I don't know if you guys had a moment that jumped out at you, but I really enjoyed when that song, I think it was the song that Jamie started stripping to

when Ryan Gosling went rogue, or Homeless Ryan Gosling went rogue. It's by Ottawa. It's a song called Hands Up, Give Me Your Heart. Do you remember? Yeah. I can't quite remember the tune now. It's gone. How did you find that song?

Well, I remember the lyrics, and I'm going to play it briefly. That's when we were humming after the show, right? Hands Up, here we go. That's when we were humming after the show, right? Hands up. Here we go. It's this. I thought this was just stock music for an idiot. Hands up.

Put your hands up. Give me your heart. Give me, give me your heart. Give me, give me. I don't know if that's the right version. That sounds like a MIDI sort of version. Fuck, that's a big track. You loved it.

Well, like moments before, they'd used a cheap garage band version of the Drive soundtrack. Because obviously Rob Schneider was running... Maybe that's why the eighth episode was about running out of budget. Because this one... Oh, because he actually did. Like there were no extras at the launch of the club. The club was so sparsely populated. It a very small club you'd feel uncomfortable we were to lead to be believed

that this was this was a huge night for patricia this was like she was supposed to sell the place out and it was first of all cabaret seating which i kind of i get because of the venue but there just wasn't the space for tables guys is it let's the chairs out. I feel like it was a mistake in the shooting because they could have got away with it if they had only shot from the crowd. True. But they really insisted on getting some POVs. They didn't try and cheat it at all.

So you knew there was 19 women in total at this opening night. Small room too. Tiny little room. There's literally not enough space in the bar. How are you going to clear enough booze To keep this thing running She's got to pay the boys She's got to pay the boys

Everyone's got to pay the boys And those boys will demand a princely sum Because they were very good Although one of them she's blackmailing With the possibility of sending him home to I want to say Russia That's just No it's somewhere in It's either German or Austrian I think That's just No it's somewhere in It's either German or Austrian I think

But that's just Her sense of humour Which she gets a lot from her husband No I'm with Carla on this one She explicitly said I'm not kidding That's how you know a joke is over And then goes straight down the barrel

Boom Bang Joke's over guys Go home joke's over This is what is happening in our country right now Did either of you guys have a moment that stood out to you? In the same way that Ottawa hands up, give me your heart stood out to me. A woman got kicked in the face by a homeless Ryan Gosling.

If there's not comedy, you know, maybe I need to go back to working for the tax department. Because they tickled me pink. They've been phoning you all this time, man. If they want me back. They're really keen. I don't know if I had a standout moment, to be honest with you. I think actually,

the fact that he drives a Tesla, I think it was quite a progressive message in a show that is pretty problematic just from the 33 minutes that I just watched. What would... If you could say something to Rob Schneider right now, what would you say? Buddy, come on. What are you doing mate pull your head in buddy come on

would you get getting someone to help you write this thing mate you but yeah you said very very coyly you said during the show who would have thought that the guy who said he would show up to say you can do it in those Adam Sandler movies. Yeah, could not write a film. Could not write a series. Yeah. Not me. Well, yeah. Fool me once. Shame on you.

That's true, though. I know you guys are being facetious, but as youngins, we thought Rob Schneider had it. And maybe he did have it. He did. There was a four-year period on SNL when he had some version of it. He's a good performer. He just can't write. I he had some version of it. He's a good performer. He just can't write or direct or produce.

He's unlikable. He is unlikable and he doesn't know it. What was that standalone film he did where he... Bruce... Juice Bigelow. Bruce Bigelow. Bruce Bigelow, Mal Gigelow. Yeah, they changed his name in Australia.

Make it a bit more Tantalising for the Juice That's not a name It's a drink Nah nah Down here we call them Bruce Bruce Bigelow

Yeah There were three of those I think There was definitely two There were two He had European Gigolo Yeah But anyway Yeah so did you You were on board for that You were on board for There was definitely two. There were two. He had European Gigolo. Yeah, but anyway. Yeah, so you were on board for that.

You were on board for Dose or Bruce Bigelow. I mean, that was a big film in the day. It was big. People went to the cinema to see that. The animal was big-ish. Actually, the animal wasn't as big as some of his other ones. The hot chick. The hot chick was pretty big.

People went. They saw it. That was a promising premise as well. Juice Bigalow, male gigalow, for those of you who are playing along at home, on a budget of $17 million, made $92.9 million. Holy shit.

$17 million seems low as fuck. Seems big to me. I mean, I don't have $17 million. That's a good point. Neither do I. No one's ever given me $17 million. It was directed by Mike Mitchell, a director who is otherwise very well known for directing the SpongeBob movie. You can hear the Googling happening in real time.

This is like when people say, of course, as a crutch, as a verbal crutch when they're trying to buy themselves time well of course you'd say that because you are a piece of shit you go Rob Schneider famous for

the hot check Deuce Bigelow and of course all his cameos don't say of course as your verbal crutch if you're using it to buy time because it's the opposite this is the lastos in the edit. Don't say of course is your verbal crutch if you're using it to buy time because it's the opposite. This is the last thing in the list. You're buying time to think of a thing

that was hard to remember. Of course is the wrong verbiage. So if you're one of the people using that, Tim's really put you to task. What would you rather do, Tim? What would you rather that was said? Um. Um.

And um. Bring it back. What, because of its honesty? It's raw, unbridled. Would you rather that was said? Um. Um. And um. Bring it back. What? Because of its honesty? It's raw, unbridled. I just nodded into the podcast. Nod into the mic. Yes, guy.

I agree. What if you said, and need we forget? What about that? And need we forget. And need we forget. And lest we forget. And lest we forget. Lest we forget all the sensational chemistry.

Lest we forget buys you more time and makes you sound more like sophisticated as well. And need I mention? And dare we say Dare we delve into But look at the end of the day Rob Schneider's out there trying his best. He's made a whole second season

of this show. I cannot believe that. And I want you to try and predict what the arc is going to be. Based on the clues you were given by the one episode you've seen. They're going to take all that cash down to... Which Patricia's been hiding away. Which Patricia's been hiding away. They're going to take it to Vegas or Atlantic City

and they're going to try and win big, reclaim their fortune. Love it. That's going to get a little bit tough for them. And they're going to be trapped to stay in, let's say Atlantic City. They're going to be trapped to stay there. Rob's going to have to take up a job as a detective. And then one day into his office will walk this woman with no face. And then he'll look down the camera and go, cut.

And we'll reveal that the whole series was this she saw my face whoa that is some mess i love that they left the brick run but it was so subtly strewn on the path that i didn't pick it up yeah you gotta be you gotta be clicked in for the real rob he's sharp you guys you pay attention Carlo Richie. Truly, someone to look forward to. Have you got anything else to say on Reflection, Tim? I want to say this show shouldn't exist. And even though Netflix probably got told to, I mean, sorry, probably Netflix got paid

to put it on the network, in addition to not having to pay for any of the production, I still think they should have said no because it is lessening the brand. I mean, from the color grade, to the script, to the edit, to pulling focus correctly in a shot, they've failed on multiple counts. I don't think it's so bad.

Carlo, do you want to plug anything while you're here? Yes, please, if I could. No, you actually can't. It was a joke. Damn it. One of your classic pranks. Yeah, you've been done a pull back and reveal well in that case then no no nothing to plug um thanks guys what if you were

allowed to plug anything what would you say um off mic or we'll just edit this yeah just off record we'll edit this bit out yeah if you uh i've got a podcast called the bear pack podcast with myself and steve riscopolis we just improvise a 30 minute short play it's um look it's better than it's better than the show we just watched but how much better

who's to say who's to say maybe if you're lucky rob schneider will do a podcast where he analyzes each episode hopefully that

that's the dream that'll be a big gift for you guys that'd be huge any other podcasts you want to promote um well of course there's hosting that we do with uh this guy from new zealand That's the dream. That'd be a big gift for you guys. Yeah, that'd be huge. Any other podcasts you want to promote? Well, of course,

there's hosting that we do with this guy from New Zealand. You know him. Good friend of mine. Yeah. He's a good guy. That's a fun podcast. I'm guessing you've wronged him before. Well, maybe he wronged me.

Who's to say? But yeah, other than that, that's it. That's literally it. I listened to an amazing podcast the other day. It was This American Life. Okay, that'll do, I think. So good. Yeah, all right.

We're just going to take that off you there. I'd like to leave you on the great words of Rob Schneider, spoken within the show Real Rob. He says, I quit. I couldn't take the writing.
