hat on just like me, but it's
a much saddered hat. Please welcome Stephen
Sadek. Used to be a happy hat, but now
it's a sad hat. It's the New York
Nickybockers. Yeah, well, as Eric
pointed out backstage, right? It's like, it's
black, we're in mourning.
Sitting shiva for Tom Tibado.
God damn it. Fuck James Dolan.
Anyway,
here's someone I like much better than James Dolan.
It's Mr. Eric Siska.
Wow. Okay. I finally, that's a
I'm glad I made that threshold.
Well, thank you.
How are you both feeling as we learned on on-screen live yesterday?
You guys are a little sicky, sickie.
We're both feeling a little better, right, Steve?
Testing negative.
Negative.

Diagnosis negative.
So, yeah, no, we're feeling better, which is great.
I was in my house here for a week straight.
I did not leave the front door at all.
What you did today?
You went on a hike to me?
I did today, today, because I felt good.
And I was in nature.
I didn't see many people.
I saw one or two people walk by and that's it.
You took care of them real quick.
That's fine by me.
Eric, quick question for you, Red Leader, of course, on the Death Star Run.
He shoots a little too quickly and doesn't get it in.
Oh, been there, right?
You didn't last five minutes on that Dead Star Run.
Is that, do you think that's a chronic problem for that guy?
I think so.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then you know what, Zav, for?
from Empire Strikes Back
when he finds the Clitoris.
He's like, I found them.
Good God.
Them.
Here's a guy who's never had any trouble
with any of that.
Mr. Chris Gavin.
Them.
I mean,
Eric,

I'm glad to know that you have
some sense,

of the high commands,
abilities in the bedroom.

But yeah, we're going to be doing a chat about Superman too.
We're going to be doing a raunch-tastic Q&A after party, of course.
It's going to be disgusting.

I come back to the world because I had just been,
I had the taste of ballerina's from my mouth and I needed to wash that shit out.
What happened in your mouth?
What was the shirt in your mouth?
I had diarrhea in my mouth.
Ballerina has a chick in my mouth.
So was that, did you see it 40X?
Is that how that happened?
I did.
I splurged.
But theoretically, this is a W.HM mailbag.
So we should get to some letters here.
We got, uh,
I believe like five to get through today.
So we'll start it off. Chris,
Chris Cabin, you are, as you can see there in your lower third.
The Mailbringer.
Yes. So who should kick us off?
Steve is going to be doing the first one.
Ooh, okay. So this is battling the Blackberries.
Hi, WHM gang.
Hello.
No, no.
Hi. Sorry.
We don't need to do that every time. How's it going?
We don't need to do that every time.
In 2013, in 2013, as a vegetarian on a college campus at Oklahoma,
I was brutally portrayed by a Wendy's salad.
First of all, everyone is brutally portrayed by a Wendy salad.
That is not a unique.
I would say,
Wendy's in general, yeah.
Yeah, LifeHack, if you're vegetarian,
never go to a fast food restaurant.
Great idea.
Like, they go to the salad bar at Wendy's
and, like, when they're opening up, you know,
and it's just like, and now to sprinkle some pork fat
all over the lettuce, excellent.
That's the secret.
Maybe Chipotle, maybe, but I don't think so.
Maybe.
It was a last resort meal that was,
nearly a last meal because it gave me
the worst food poisoning of my life and changed
the genetic makeup of my stomach lining forever.
Holy God. Okay, that's the smash cut to
2015 Halloween night. Canada.
I'm a loser who moved here
and didn't have any friends yet.
So I thought I was going to the movies on Halloween
night would be a chill fun time.
I snacked out a few blackberries beforehand.
Just eat like the fruit?
No, the cell phone. Just eating the cell phone.
Just gnosis on it.
No, I believe so.
Tastes like child labor.
Tastes like Jay Baruchel made it.
Great movie, by the way.
I would say, I would say great a movie.
I still never saw it because Glenn Howardson's fake bald head freak me out.
He's good.
He's good.
He's really good in it.
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
I snacked on a few blackberries before and because of adolescence.
Because of adolescence of braces ensured that Mr. Popcorn would never truly be my friend.
Okay.
I think maybe it was supposed to be because of an abundance.
abundance of braces.
Oh, is that it?
Okay.
And AI fixed it for this person?
Oh, please, I hope not.
I entered a pack theater.
I entered the pack theater.
I lived next to a retirement home at the time.
It basically emptied out,
it had basically emptied out into my screening
of Christopher Plummer's drama thriller,
remember.
There were grandpies as far as I don't remember.
I can't even remember, remember.
No.
Does anyone remember, remember, remember?
Nobody does.
Remember, remember.
So there are grandpies as far as I can see.
Around the time Proto Maga, Dean Morris gets got, I got the sweats.
I guess there's a, I don't think that is not MAGA.
I assume like in the movie he's MAGA.
In the, yeah, I think it's in the movie.
The character is like a Proto MAGA, a guy.
He gets, he gets killed.
I assume by Christopher Palmer, I think he's an assassin in that movie.
Got it.
Around the time Proto MAGA, Dean Morris gets got, I got the sweats.
I knew my pathetic body and what this meant.
The Blackberries had betrayed me.
I was a literal countdown to mayhem.
Countdown to Mayhem.
That's a fucking WWE event.
I could.
I love it.
I couldn't be seen leaving in a hurry at the high point of this movie.
The grandpiece would judge me.
First of all, you got to always just if you got to take a shit and you never know when it's going to happen to you.
I've said this multiple times.
You never know what it's going to happen to you.
You just got to go and take everybody.
Here's the thing with old people.
Here's another life hack, little life lesson for you.
Even your grandparents, even your father, whoever.
Sure.
The second you get off that couch and they forgot to, they don't know what's happening.
Eric is correct.
They're like dogs.
They're like dogs.
They just forget things immediately.
And then you could just tell them whatever when you come back.
That's why they're so needy.
You got to take them for walks regularly.
They have to be crackers.
They chew up by shoe.
His grandpas.
Chew up by shoe.
shoes they were a good crowd all of them whispering and pointing at the various canadian
film locations that didn't deserve what i was about to do again you're least you shit in
the theater dude you're fine uh food poisoning doesn't hit all at once it creeps but i believed i
had to of course this is such a mistake i believed i had time i sat and sealed myself for the
remainder of the movie and even used my feet to drag an empty popcorn bag close wow weird uh
The movie ended it, and it was very dramatic and pointed, but I got to go.
The inside, my insides were churning.
I was dizzy, sweat was pouring down my face.
I grabbed the popcorn bag, and I got to the steps and walked up out of the theater.
I was almost free.
But no.
The first wave hit and the bile and watery vomit filled the popcorn bag.
Oh, God, it's a bag, and it's not even a sturdy bucket.
The way you do is you take that over grandpa's head, and you pop it.
That's what you do.
with that. The thrilling conclusion, Eric,
calm down. It's sprayed back
into my face. Oh, man.
There's
Oh, marvelous. There's
no real heft to food poisoning. It's just
more liquid than you think could possibly
in your body erupting for all the sea,
but it's loud and unforgiving. And once
I started, there was no stopping.
Oh my God, this is awesome. I was
open air vomiting, like a busted fire,
it went into my bag, and I
couldn't believe, I couldn't even blame anyone
for not moving out of the way. They were right
stare and try and figure out why
I was apparently having a visceral
reaction to old Nazis getting their
comeuppets.
Which is what, by the way, which is what this
Christopher probably? Oh, it is. Oh, of
course. Hey, how about the new Nazis
get their comeuppets? Soon enough, dude.
By the way, it's an Adam's Goyan
movie, if you can believe it.
That's why he was getting a theatrical
release in Canada. That's what, yes.
Everyone was slow rolling it out at the theater, and I was just
among them. Heavily
heaving wetly into a popcorn bag
which I just had to hold
from the bottom with both hands
so I couldn't burst over my shoes
and a tell I mean this is a bit much
have you guys ever
have you guys ever
had what appeared to be a nastily
and vastly inappropriate
reaction to a movie theater full of oxygenarians
love you guys hate berries
and thankful for your tremendous body
of work Kaylee from Ottawa
thank you Kaylee I'm glad
you're alive
there was a little touch and go there
but my question is this
so like if they were just like
regular degular blackberries
were they like spoiled
or were you just eating fucking black
colored berries like you just ripped off a
maybe not I think
how are you getting food poisoning from just fruit
sometimes you can not
if you don't wash them thoroughly
it can't happen it can't have
I think it's also if you have way too many of them
it's like acidic
on an empty stomach
that could do it. Yeah.
Just gnoshing on blackberries, man.
The question was what?
An inappropriate reaction to a
theater was appropriate.
Well, yours was appropriate, Eric.
So yours doesn't count, but yours was absolutely
appropriate when you squared off
with the Grampi. Yes, I almost
fought an old man during a screening
of Bruges.
What was that?
In Bruges. Yes, in Bruges.
We were eating popcorn at the
the Lincoln, the big Lincoln up
there in the Upper West
side. Yeah, yeah. And
a guy got really mad
at me for having popcorn behind
him. Oh.
Maybe I was probably Tom Cruise eating it. I see.
Being a little rascal. We've got
Kaylee in the chat here, by the way.
Oh, hello. Is that right? Real quick
ending, I threatened to fight the man
and he stood up. Did he didn't wash them well
enough? There it is. There it is.
That's a huge mistake.
Food poisoning is no
And I mean, like, I'm curious, I mean, now that I could talk directly to Kaylee, is it, were you really that nervous about what people would say if you left to go to the bathroom or were you like invested in the movie? Because that'll happen to me. Like I'm just, even if it's a bad movie, I don't want to miss it. So I'll just like, I'll, I'll white knuckle it. You know what I mean? But. Yep. I thought I was going to bust a kidney watching sinners. I finally gave up and went to the bathroom. And boy, did I do the wrong ass time to get up and go.
because I got up like right before
the fracas happened. So like
I missed like everything
going down like it was just like fine
when I left the theater like tensions
were kind of mounted maybe
and I come back and all hell's breaking loose
and I was like son of a bitch. It's always tough to know
I remember you texted me after like how did that guy
die or like oh you missed the movie
the movie part of the movie happened
yeah that's what seems I remember
I nearly burst my kidney
waiting for the thin
red line to end.
Oh, my God.
Me and my buddy,
Richie, when we went to see this movie,
we were just like, and I think he had to go
too, and I was just like moving around in my
seat and like, oh man.
And like, at the end, if everybody
remembers, the end of the shot is like water
lapping the shore.
Oh, right. Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me? Come on.
Oh, man, I don't, maybe I have that beat.
I learned my lesson early. In 2004, I saw the
lady killers in theater.
Uh-huh. Right.
Yes. And I held it.
the entire because oh i'm a cohen brothers fan so i held it in i held it in the whole time and it was
so not worth it oh yeah that every other movie since i'm like just going to the bathroom for the
fun i remember when i saw the force awakens i went to the bathroom when snoke was introduced and i came
back oh and i'm like that guy had shot what's going because you know you like i think what is that
I think it was like during the Han Solo
like monsters on the ship part
which is not so great and I was like this is a good time
to get up. That's a good time to go to the bathroom
when they're that big monsters chasing
but I wait but like I delayed
and then here's like oh what are you and I'm like
oh man the new guy and I don't even know who
he is
it's tough
and all that stuff
as far as like the other way around
though I mean I never like had a
reaction to a movie that offended old people
I programmed movies that offended a lot of
fucking old people for a long time that's for sure
old people will get fucking offended by a movie man
oh yeah which one
dude fucking scores people will
fucking watch an entire movie and then come out and go
that was terrible money back
you're like time for the urn lady what are you
fucking doing I mean I feel like after 65
like you should be like there should be
some demerit system and then like a younger person
can hit you with a baton
I fully would vote for that
and like I would be like
whatever man when I'm 65 like I voted for this is what I deserve I mean I do remember walking out of
oh boy a Fahrenheit 9-11 and I was with like most of the crowd of course you everybody remembers
like when the end comes like everyone this one lady I was like I was still in the I'm going to
stay through the credits guy at that point so I was staying for the credits me and this lady come back
and she's like you know I just wish that they had asked you had put more about what
the other side thinks oh oh what the taliban what the towers what the towers no like what like
right winger's thought of oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh what a dip shit hey this is a good one a mr b knows
years ago took a date and her six year old to the movies the kid was sick in 15 minutes before
credits he barfed his dinner all over both of us i had chunks of chicken nuggets in my shoes

And Patreon subscriber here, thank you very much, by the way.
Particularly a fan of the Nexus show.
Very cool.
That's our Star Trek Recap show.
And your episode on First Contact triggered an early childhood memory.
Uh-oh.
I grew up in a TNG household.
And I must have been about five when we all watched First Contact on VHS.
Hell you.
Everyone was having a great time watching Picard crawl through rocks and Malcolm McDowell act intensely and toothy.
And then the catwalk fell.
and Shatnerate shit.
Wait, isn't that
Generations?
That is Generations?
Yes, it sure is.
Oh.
So I guess this person
means generations
and not.
Hmm.
So, uh, yeah.
Wow,
good catch.
But yeah,
so you're watching a movie,
you were watching a movie
called Star Trek Generations.
It was made and came out the same year
that TNG ended.
It's confusing, though,
because it's like Kirk and Picard,
their first.
That's their first guy.
It is.
Oh, I could see.
I could see.
If you're in the chat.
or ma'am, you know.
But yes, so we are talking
we're talking Star Trek
Generations. Also, I think a good movie.
A great movie. A movie I will
kind of cry at. Anyway,
I distinctly remember watching the
light leave Kirk's eyes, yeah, so do I.
And feeling horror
wash all over my tiny
child body.
I'm pretty sure this was the very first
time I'd actually seen
and conceptualized
death. Wow. Yeah. What?
A sentence.
Rough introduction, I'll say.
Yeah.
Oh, my.
Oh, no.
What he says, oh, my, you know that he's looking at the devil, right?
Like, the devil is, like, yeah.
Get the fuck in here, you.
We got a party going.
Remember me from the animated series?
I'm back.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're back on Majus 2 or whatever.
Yeah, it's the devil and fucking Harry Mud is sitting right behind him.
You're the guest.
of honor we've been waiting for you captain all right where you're going you don't need eyes to see
and so forth hello pinhead long time uh i thought my parents had just shown me a snuff film
and we were all just pretending to be cool with it yeah i was so horrified that i didn't even
care when data was reunited with spot a few minutes later because i'd just seen a man die
Yeah, that's amazing.
I feel like I had a memory of when I was a kid,
and one of my first movie deaths I saw,
I was like, they're killing people in these things.
Cut to an hour later,
when my mom found me tearfully brushing my teeth before bed.
Man crying while brushing your teeth.
That's tough.
They killed that man, that pudgy man.
They killed him right in front of my eyes.
They killed that pudgy.
be wigged man
uh
teeth before bed and me
saying how awful it was that
the actor died in such a horrible
way if my mom
thought I was stupid she hit it well
and kindly explained to me what movies
are and that William Shatner
was just fine and still is
to this day apparently it's shocking
we saw him last week we'll talk
about more in a second that's right
this made me feel better but I was still
deeply troubled by that final
oh my
and apparently it still haunts me
to this day which brings me
to my prompt for discussion do any of y'all have any
childhood memories where you confuse TV
with reality or had a first exposure
to a big concept like death
via the movies thanks
for the literal decade plus of laughs
Marie from Oregon p.s the nexus introduced
me to DS9 which is now unfortunately
my favorite trek show nothing unfortunate about that
no good deed goes unpunished
no not at all DS9 rules
I think I did a I think I told the story before but I'll tell it again it's really quick I remember watching and this is going to set us up for a little bit of a plug here Superman for the quest for peace where he's fighting nuclear man and like in the middle of that movie he gets his ass fucking kicked and by that big old nuclear man and he rips his cape and it falls I think it's like maybe it's the Grand Canyon or something it's falling in front of I remember a monument or something or the moon yeah yes it's just it's
it's falling like very dramatically
and I literally thought
he was dead. Superman was dead
and he died
because he couldn't survive without his cave. That was
my, that was my baby brain.
I was 24 years old.
Wow. And I really
thought he was dead and like
the character
or everything.
The character was
Superman was dead and that was
never coming back and like
you know the movie goes on and I guess like
I didn't have that thing
we're watching people die on screen
because I feel like we were watching action movies
really early. Like, Seagull's always
breaking accident. Yeah, henchmen are getting killed
like the guy. Oh, yeah. Exactly.
But so, by the way, Superman,
this very Friday night will be talking
about Superman too. One of my favorite
movies of all time, my most watched
movie ever possibly.
Moment.co.
slash we hate movies and get those
ticks because this is going to be quite a
live episode. You can watch
Watch us from the comfort of your own home.
We'll be doing it live.
We're going to do it live.
It's got another one here.
B-Man's got a good one.
Talking with the Superman universe.
Yeah.
Oh, that's a tough one, dude.
Yep.
That grip.
Oh, yes.
That's a tough.
That's a tough death.
I remember.
You go.
Go for it.
So I remember that my buddy Mike, this is quick.
My buddy Mike was in the car with me.
we had just seen Batman Returns and I was hyped
I was like that was fucking great
that was so good and I'm like
hey Mike what did you think about it and like
he was really quiet
and I was like what's what's up and he's like
I don't know you know it kind of
fucked up what happened to the penguin
I'm like what he's like
I mean
he's sure that what his parents did to him
and like he was like
yeah and then like of course like three months later
we find out his fucking parents are getting divorced
oh fuck that's awful
and he just watched a father throw his child in a river
look a lot of stuff can happen
it wasn't all his fault
no one should be
no one from age 7 to 29
should be
lab bastard for getting weirded out by fucking
Batman returns there is a penguin
fucking a pallbearer sequence at the end
is that ratty fucking undergarment
it's disgusting masterpiece just no other word for that fucker did you guys watch the danny devedo
colin feral thing i didn't i meant to but i did no i have not yet i i did want to oh i'll do this
really quickly but davido tells this great story about making the movie where like he was you know
obviously decked out the penguin shit all the time they're filming a part where they're in the
penguins hide out and he's like standing up on something in full makeup or whatever and they're
trying to like get ready to go and he had a dude who was like his best best guy like he was his number one guy
always ran errands for him
Coke guy maybe who knows whatever
oh definitely and so Danny DeVito says like you know
on Sundays Danny DeVito himself would like cook
for the crew and people you'd make a big
Sunday dinner and at one point they're getting ready
to film someone's like Tim we gotta stop we got to stuff
get Rob where's Rob get me Rob
I mean Rob right now and everybody's
holy shit what happened and then oh get Rob
get Rob the radioing for this dude or whatever
Sky comes running in it's oh fuck huge
emergency Danny needs me runs up
onto this like dangerous platform above the water
Danny what's going on what's going on Rob
you gotta remember to keep stirring the sauce
it's true great yeah you have to keep stirring it'll stick
I never I don't remember learning of death v the movies are being
affected in thinking someone was actually dead but
when Blair witch project was coming out
I thought that shit was real as it gets and it had like
a kind of great like early website
and you know a lot of freaky promotional shit and
I went up to my dad and I was like dad this Friday
this horror movie's coming out. It's called
the Blair Witch Project. Get this.
It's real tapes that they found.
And these kids went into the woods looking for a witch
and they got killed on camera. It's crazy.
And my dad just like
he stopped short of like
putting a hand on my shoulder but he was like
that's not real.
Because if they died, that's called
a snuff film and that's illegal.
So that's how I learned
what snuff films were.
Oh, excellent. There you go.
You're a little bit.
stuff bill you're a little bit of a moron
aren't you son no it was
1999 that was the style
of the time we were yeah we were debating
it the public forum it was
it was huge at the time and it was they were
leaning into that sensationalism
which obviously wasn't true I remember
like a little bit maybe buying into it when I
went to see that movie
I did you guys like that movie I hate it because
I grew up in the woods
I basically grew up with the Blair
that's not real woods that's not real woods
I mean nothing seems
scary to me in the movie because it's just
like, oh, they're screaming in the woods?
Yeah, it's a fucking deer being eviscerated.
Come on.
We sort of alluded to
plugging it.
Might as well just do it now. We're in between
emails here. Also,
really quickly, this Friday, Superman, too.
Yeah. Oh, yes, of course. Worldwide
digital event happening. We're talking the movie,
and then we're getting shitty afterwards in a
Q&A session. Got to do it.
You gotta do it moment.coast slash we hey movies.
But if you caught our on-screen live episode yesterday,
we mentioned how we were at Colbert last week
rocking to the Doobie Brothers.
Now, I was able to turn it around in time.
I have video evidence of the four of us
at the Ed Sullivan Theater rocking out to listen to the music.
Now, I have cut the audio from this,
so hopefully YouTube does not strike us dead
as we play these precious few seconds
but here we go
you're going to see a little bit of the doobies
and then it's going to get into us
we're going to be right in sort of like
the lower right hand corner
of your screen so here we go
we're going to add it to the stage and it should just play
yeah this takes us down
there we are there it is
my New York Liberty hat
yep
rocking the fuck out
you'll notice if you look back at that tape
I realize we're on camera because I was looking up at the monitor of what's being broadcast
and then I spiked the camera.
I'm just uncomfortable in my skin as always.
Just like maybe this is what people do, right?
Yeah.
It felt like a total performance being amongst people, right?
Steve, because you're like, I don't know how to, I guess.
Oh, hello.
That's how people talk to.
I understand how people work.
You did a hell of a job.
I'll say you did a really hell of a job there.
You had me fooled.
Also really quickly, this came up in the chat
before we get to the next email.
Is this real?
Link says, I just found out that Finnish people
in some areas of the country were historically
referred to as chuds.
He's never, they've never felt more patriotic.
Sounds right to me.
Sounds good. I just, I see a chud chat.
I got to post it.
All right. By the way, just really quickly about the Doobie Brothers.
Not a huge Doobie Brothers fan.
Not against them.
But I have had, and now it's back in my head,
I'll probably have it tomorrow.
Okay.
The earworm of,
because that song is just so repetitive.
Whoa.
Yeah.
In my head for a fucking solid,
that and COVID infected me.
That two things happened at the exact same time.
It was like Oppenheimer,
like two things crashing together and make an explode.
Yeah,
I can see it.
And we had a clear line of sight to Bill Shatner was a guest.
He was right in front of us.
I felt like I could grab them.
Oh, yeah, you probably could, dude, he's tiny.
94 years old and just steamrolling over at Colbert and Neil deGrasse Tyson,
like everybody that was on stage, he was just yammering on because it's the Bill Shatner show, as always.
He's going to bury us all, and if he doesn't, someone murdered him.
He's not lending a hand to bury any of us.
He's not touching a shovel, not water.
No, sir, that won't be happening.
Who died?
Could I get the Kirk funeral?
where it's just put me under a bunch
like a pile of rocks.
That's not a bad one.
This should do
total hero to my workforce.
A bunch of rocks you're buried under.
Oh, I slipped a rock and it
bust his head open. I better keep throwing
rocks on him to hide it. It seems to work.
Weeks later,
he's on a fucking star base. Like, so where
did you bury him? Oh, I want
to say it was like Vegas
7? Shit. What was
Vegas 6? Damn it. I don't
remember. It's kind of more of a site.
thing. Like, I have to see it and know it.
You know, you understand how that goes.
It was Vegas something, because as we pulled away, I very specifically remember turning to
Mr. Data and saying, hey, Mr. Data, what happens on Vegas stays on Vega, right?
And he didn't get it because he's a robot.
What?
But, sir, that is the biggest hero of the Federation history.
He should be buried in San Francisco.
We have a big monument.
We've got a tomb ready for it.
That was San Francisco.
That was.
You just don't worry about that.
Remember, of course, that we learned in Star Trek Picard.
It is canon that they went and picked up his body and it lays in stasis in a Starfleet, like, archive.
It better.
I mean, that dude fucking built Starfleet.
Leave it about the fucking side of the road because you don't know where you are.
And boy, did he know it.
Oh, man.
Chris Cabin, you yourself are up for the next letter, buddy.
I'm going to do this.
Yes, dive bar, dinner, date.
Hell yeah.
Hi, W.H.M. Gang. I was re-listening to an old mailbag. I think it was April 2018, where Eric had requested more stories about shit, and I am happy to help.
Thank you. Thank you. So, he is very thankful. When I was in my early 20s, I was in a new city dealing with the standard early 20 stuff, heartbroken, broke, et cetera.
When I writing your first album. Yes, please. Oh, Connor Oberst. How nice to, no.
You would have been older than that.
When I ran to a really cute girl at a party, we hit it off.
I got her number, and we agreed to go on a date the next weekend.
This doesn't sound like my early 20s.
Hold on.
What are you meeting women talking to them, getting their numbers?
I was at the party, but talking to them, that was usually the-
I thought you're supposed to stare at them from afar.
Eric was great at that.
When they pass you by, be quick to avert your gaze.
the date started well
if with a few shy nerves
on both our parts we had a few drinks
and things started to flow well
I was getting... Oh, the beer. I thought it was like
Shiner like you got punched.
Oh, yeah, well that makes sense.
Pretty hungry though and the food at this
die bar was actually in my budget. Now look at that.
Few hours later, she invited me
back to her place by this time.
I had a major stomach
egg, but I wasn't going to say no.
We went to her room
and did date stuff.
Yeah, but
it's a huge range, by the way.
Yeah.
But it wasn't...
You guys, you walk around a museum
in that room?
You got dinner in there, huh?
Yeah.
But it wasn't very satisfying
for either of us. I wasn't on my
game with this massive stomachache.
Oh, fuck.
Unfortunately, she had a bathroom directly attached to her tiny bedroom.
I don't know where this going.
After I thought she was asleep, I went in there and destroyed the toilet.
Destroyed the toilet.
That is a good, God Almighty.
Pretty noisy.
Quick question.
Was that the only bathroom in the apartment?
You said her room, like 20s?
I'm going to guess yes.
Is there a public hallway?
See, that's the thing.
If there's a roommate with another bathroom situation,
you should have snuck down that hall.
Oh, man, but what if it's like you walked out of the room
and like the common area was right there?
And it's like you're in your boxers
and somebody's watching the Tonight Show or something.
You know what I mean?
So you run the risk.
It's like, do I use that bathroom where people I don't know
will know I'm going to the bathroom?
Or at least this girl that I was just doing date stuff
with those I'm going to the bathroom.
I mean, maybe this would be, I mean, you're damned if you do,
damned if you don't.
Maybe just leave all together.
Oh, yeah.
You know, I know that seems like a jerk move, but you're, I'm sure this is not going to work.
That's like, no, no, Eric, that's not a jerk.
That's a coward.
There's a big, I want, oh, I want this to be very clear.
Please continue.
After I thought she was a sleep, I tried to sleep, but my stomach couldn't stop.
Why are you sleeping over?
Why on God's green earth are you sleeping over?
Because he wants to do more date stuff in the morning.
Ideally, we're, we're back.
better off. Some morning date stuff works better for other people. You never know. It's
Seinfeld covered. Like you do date stuff. Sometimes you got to sleep up. You know, like, that's,
it depends on the person. Exactly. You can't just be like, I got to get out of here because then you
never get to date stuff with this lady ever again. That's true. I do love that we were using
Seinfeld as like, that's the dating Bible. Of course, you do everything they did it. That's just that's
what you do. And then it's easy. It's very easy. Clearly it worked out for them. They had a new date
every day. They were in jail last
we saw them. Every 20 to 30
minutes, I repeated it. I didn't.
I don't think either of us
got much sleep. I would bet so's too, sir.
Oh, yeah. If you got
away with it the first time,
I would be great as she's like, could you just go
home? Like, you know, like I know what
you're doing in there. I can hear
it, you know. The white noise machine
only does so much.
This is brutal.
She walked me to the door
the next morning. No kiss. No
nothing.
She later texted me that the date we had planned for a concert wasn't going to happen.
I can't blame her.
You know what?
After you do that disgusting business and then you go back into the bed, guess what that?
Got to burn those sheets now.
You know they're smelling.
You're at least maybe getting, I don't know, like, how far is the toilet from the bed?
Like, are you, like, is there air freshener going on?
Are you able to light a candle, a match?
I mean, there's just too much at stake.
That's what I'm saying.
Why would you sleep over?
Like, this has been nice.
The date stuff was, I know, subpar, to be totally honest with you, I don't feel real well.
But that's how good I did, not feeling real well.
So you can only imagine when I'm 100% baby.
There you go.
Let's go to that concert tomorrow.
Andrew, have you been in a similar situation because it does seem like you have insight to this one situation?
Oh, like, you know, when Chelsea and I first started dating, like, I was terrified about, like, getting up to go to the bathroom.
I was like, because it's me.
I'm super neurotic.
We just did 20 minutes on why I don't like taking a shit at the movies a couple weeks ago.
That is fair, yeah.
So it was a lot of like tiptoe in and like, can I be quiet?
Ooh, is that fart too loud?
You know, like a lot of that, you know.
She's going to punch me.
Oh, no, that fart was too big.
You've got to tiptoe around those farts?
I suppose, yeah.
Have any of you had really shitty first days?
Oh, all of them.
Trying to think of any particular one.
um one time me and chris went on a double date with two girls who was like technically the first time we went out
and we saw the mothman prophecy so that was a pretty bad first date that was two girls one cup
i mean they i i asked about that they were not into it
you got to ask i i went uh i think this is like 20 2009 i think i just moved out of my mom's house
it's kind of feeling myself a little bit
you know what I mean like in public
no no no feeling myself
it's like feeling good about myself
like don't feel
don't feel yourself good in public
I was doing date stuff to myself in public
no
yes he admitted it
he admitted it so I
I get this girl's number at a bar
never happened before and I was like oh this is
pretty cool you don't want to date with this lady
take her to a local
like restaurant you know
like um and i i i the only thing i have going on for me a aside from the fact that i'm not living
with my mother currently which is a new deal is that i'm doing a lot of improv comedy and like
oh hell yeah real panty dropper shit and i start talking about improv comedy and not this is when
the date went nowhere it was like it was going okay because we had the the charge of whatever's
going on and i just have like so improv comedy is
what I'm into it. She's like, uh-huh.
And I'm explaining it. And then I'm like,
by the way, this is because this is my social life.
This is, we're only a couple blocks from the UCB theater.
They got a pretty cool show. Oh, man.
If you want to go, I bought us tickets already.
With beat, beat, beat.
I think I have to leave after this.
Yeah. No kidding.
And no date stuff to be had.
No date stuff to be found.
oh no way dude you can't be telling anybody you do improv
no light date stuff no
that was that wasn't a that wasn't a yes and
that was a no thanks
yeah it was
it was a while until I was like oh
nobody likes improv I get it
okay you went from del
close to del closed
I didn't get her
del clothes off that's for sure
Uh, she did a scene wipe on that date, Steve.
Yes. A hard edit.
God damn it. We're fucking nerds.
Oh, you know, her watching Bobby Boyd ahead and Will Hydez will get me to fucking second base. No, it will not.
Yep, absolutely. Oh, do you know them? Oh, please. Please introduce me.
Oh, wow. One of them might be on Saturday Live in two years. That's exciting.
You know, Will and I did a sketch where I played a Gotham gangster, and he was,
my boss it was for cracked.com have you heard of it
Bobby kind of thought of me as a protege you know
he said so to me before by the way we are splitting this right
we're gonna go this is gonna be a because I have no money
I'm using them on improv classes which as you can tell
very important right to the top oh hot damn
oh oh Eric Siska this one is right up your alley
Oh, yeah, the next letter you're saying, right?
But you know what else is right up your alley, first of all, do you?
Oh, yes, a lot of things.
This Friday night show.
Oh, right.
I love this.
We hate movies live.
There's going to be a worldwide digital experience on Superman 2 starring We Hate Movies.
That's right.
This Friday, 9 p.m. Eastern replay available for 14 days after the fact, by the way.
I don't think we said that yet.
Oh, no, no.
Yeah, so if you can't make it live, make it later.
Oh, hey, by the way, we just got another email in here.
and it ties in
so I just really quickly
wanted to bring it up
but we have
turns out
that girl
who her bathroom
had the turlet
in the bedroom there
she's got a file photo
of what was going on
that night
security footage apparently
and that's it
oh yeah that's it
oh I think I was duped
oh you might have been
that appears to be Jeff Daniels
when I first saw that
when I first saw
dumb and dumber I was like
are they actually shitting
oh no
I saw a man shit
I'm crying
I'm sorry, Jeff.
I'm sorry.
That poor man has a stomachache.
All right.
All right.
Bounty Law.
Good evening, gentlemen.
This is Griffin from Hamilton.
That sounds like this is Zodiac speaking.
Seriously.
I come to with this story of a severely mistaken identity.
Something Zodiac may have also said at one point.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
He was just Griffin speaking.
He left words out of things, too.
Three and a half years back now,
and the winner of 2021,
I went out to see Spider-Man,
no, no way home.
I don't know why that,
that title was,
it's out of like you want to say Spider-Man,
no-man's land.
Yes, which I would like to see him shot
by some World War II,
World War I guys.
By the way, Griffin is in the chat.
By the way, yes, we shouldn't mention,
we are aware Shadow Sonic kid.
guy that wild dog was on arrow but we'll never watch arrow no that's not happening right see uh
steve has responded to if you're listening to the audio version you're missing so much man code man
uh and a bunch of numbers is in his name asked hey ert uh did you that mad dog is on steve's favorite
show arrow l-o well see the code man the code man knows what's up no yeah yeah he knows what's up
There's bad blood.
The code man's in the know, man.
The code man knows all about it.
Yeah, thanks for kicking in $4.99.
That was something.
Yeah, we didn't expect a tip there.
So, Steve, you besmirched the star of Arrow.
Mm-hmm.
And then...
That got to do a lot of trouble.
I made a joke about Stephen M.L's acting ability on Twitter,
back when Twitter wasn't quite run by Nazis just yet.
And he just was like,
oh, he like quote tweeted
me with like LOL like
oh I'm above this moment
but I'm not because I'm sticking all my fans
and when I tell you for the next 48 hours
my fucking phone was blowing up
from the AML heads coming up
I call me gross
maybe that girl was like why did you do improv
that time that kind of stuff is going to
yes so apparently
Wild Dog was featured on the show Arrow
and different dude though
it's not the same guy and I don't think the quad cities are
involved.
Oh, really?
So it's not
Jack Wheeler,
the blonde male mechanic?
Yeah, no, it's not.
It's not,
hashtag not my wild dog.
Yes, no way.
I don't like how woke that show got
by making him someone else.
How about this?
Here's a fun thing.
Because you know who I think would like
a live action wild dog
like series or movie or whatever?
The kindly
dedicated yet obsessive
Snyderverse people.
Oh, there you go.
So Snyderverse people,
you would love wild dog so like get pushing for dc to do a wild dog movie man he's just he's a
fucking c grade punisher and it's awesome i i think andrew they i see what you i see what you're
doing they know what you're doing too you are not going to get them to stop talking about justice
league it's not happening stop it now they they know and they're not going to stop you're not
going to make justice league too so why don't you put your energy to some good and make wild dog happen
and be the change you want to see in the world.
Might as well say nothing. Might as well say nothing.
What are you doing?
Because wild dog, you know what wild dog can do?
Wild dog can break necks.
Wild dog can fucking brand pedophiles with a fucking
sure.
Is he setting hot branders?
Is he Zach Snyder's original vision of the Justice League?
No, he is not.
That has to stop.
See, Wild Dog is a hero fit for our time.
Because it's saying what, how about a, like a working class white,
white male?
What if he put on a crazy get up?
Drove his pickup truck down the street and started shooting people because that happens in Wild Dog.
Oh, he'd be, I got the answer.
He would be called an employee of ICE.
Yes.
I think he'd get a medal.
He'd go have a beautiful dinner at the White House.
It would be nice.
And Senator Mike Lee would make jokes about it.
That'd be fun too.
Oh, yeah.
Every single time Wild Dog is mentioned, thank you so much, Codeman.
We go off on a wild dog tangent for 35 minutes.
We can't help it.
We have to get back to Griffin's story.
Right, right, right.
And by the way, just a reminder, everybody,
we do have Griffin on hand in case we need any clarification on anything,
which is awesome.
Ask your questions while we're going, okay?
As I'm standing online for my pre-show Feast of Popcorn and Diet Pepsi,
another screening must have let out.
So I'm standing there bop into the talking heads.
Fuck yeah.
Hear a yell come across the lobby.
there he is someone called the police oh no he escaped prison no what i look around the lobby for the
source of the alert and see this 60 year old lady standing behind in nylon behind the nylon ropes
pointing at me no as me and her lock eyes she lets out who she thinks i am keith raner is here
arrest him you'll pay for what you did to
those women. No, this
is not. Okay, first question
and I think I know the answer, Griffin, this
was a white woman, right? It has
to be. Yeah, right? I wouldn't imagine. I think Griffin's
profile picture, even
this kid, this is not a Keith Reneer look.
That's not Keith Reneer.
No, no, unless this is
a wildly different photograph than
what Griffin looked like at the time. But this, by
the way, is amazing.
Please continue. Yes, okay. So
at this point, multiple
staff members had taken notice
of the situation unfolding and tried to
politely usher her out of the building
although she proclaimed me
as the founder of Nexiaum
due to
in part me being a fresh face
19 year old and in Canada
these claims fell on death ears
man you know the thing is Canada I love
you guys I always love visiting I think it's a beautiful
country not a lot going up up there
you got to start creating
bringing stuff from down here up there
For sure. Canada was his hunting ground.
Is that true?
He used all the Battlestar Galactic actresses.
Where do you think that happened, Derek?
That's very true.
But he was based in Albany, right?
Yeah. Well, that's right.
You know, hometown pride.
Woo-hoo.
Yeah.
Woo-hoo.
I guess it's fair.
He stalked Canada.
He was the night stalker of Canada.
I forgot about that.
So it makes sense why you'd be accused then.
But the 19 thing, I guess, puts you out around.
Exactly.
Because this dude was much older and looked like.
old shit so if the claims fell on death ears but that didn't stop the barrage of remarks as she
was escorted out Jesus Christ after this encounter the manager pulled me out of the line and
gifted me a free medium popcorn for my troubles so uh not bad for a case of the wrong man's
yeah not too bad all right also I looked up Keith's face I don't know who she thought she saw in
that lobby because we look we look nothing alike apart from thick glasses
now have any of you men been mistaken for someone you weren't big fan of you guys got me through high school and COVID and I quote you near daily keep on going WHM gang thank you so much
hell yeah high school Christ on the cross man yeah this show got me through high school too oh yeah did it yeah I was doing a Billy Madison thing at the time hello fellow students I don't look I look like garbage so I
don't get confused for many people
I got I got confused
just the we went to a
little movie premiere right
we um a big to do
a big to do it was very very exciting
nice nice social event
cocktail event afterwards yeah that was where we
saw Richard kind see our John Wickman Terry
for the question to that answer
I unfortunately I think I left by the time
yeah you missed him on side yeah
see Richard I leave the party
kind comes and tries to find whatever
foods left over. Richard kind
and Stephen Weber and they both had
napkins with food. Do double teaming
a table. Oh my God. So what
so this so I was actually I was mistaken for
Michael Churness, uh, from
Severance. Someone legitimately thought I was
I was I was him. Yeah. And I said yes I am. Give me your money.
But this guy was talking to you for like five minutes and you had to be like
no dude that's not like because that's crazy part to be like
in public
I'll go to my office
is that that guy
or is that that lady
or whatever
I'll do that quite
the idea of the audacity
unless you're 100% certain
you can't
you can't go to press
without the right information
and going to press
I mean actually talking to a human being
and saying hi Michael Churness
well you know when he found out
I wasn't him he wanted to know
who I was and why the hell I was there
wow this guy really gave you the third degree
I mentioned that I was a podcast
you know nothing too exciting
and whatever
And then I was like, who are you?
What are you doing here?
He's like, I'm a dentist.
I'm like, I got to go.
Yeah.
You had more of a reason to be there than he did.
Yeah.
Fucking dentist.
Well, he was married to an actress.
And I was like, congratulations.
Oh, hey.
One time I was on the six train,
uh, head in downtown.
And, um, you know, like sometimes you get that, uh, you can feel like someone's looking at you.
Sure.
And that's like, that can multiply when it's like a bunch of people at one.
months. So that feeling was happening to me as I like had headphones on and I sort of like kind of just sort of turn and I see there's a bunch of like activity behind me and it what appears to be a lot of like pointing toward me.
And so I was like, oh boy. So I sort of like slowly reached my hand in my pocket, paused what had to have been an iPod at the time to hear what they were saying.
And it was a bunch of kids just going, oh shit, look. It's the motherfucker from the angle.
What's his name?
It's that motherfucker
What is that?
Dude,
Hangover guy
And I was like,
oh, man.
That's a little bit of both
Out of making funny of you
a little bit,
I'm thinking.
Like,
yeah,
it could have gone either way.
I don't know.
It did sound sincere
because they weren't like
yelling it.
It was just kind of like,
look,
that's the guy from the hangover.
Oh, yeah, got,
I got it.
Yeah,
that's a motherfucker from the hangover
right there.
So that was Zach Galfanette.
Zach Galfinacus.
Yes, yes.
I got none.
None.
I absolutely none.
But I will
say, speaking of, like, the way
that you talk about, if you
know, if you can spot a celebrity in
public, me and my wife
were in London, and we went to
one of the Odolengi restaurants.
There wasn't many, it was
one of the lower ones, there wasn't many people there.
And then we were just, like, talking,
having a nice dinner, and we had just, like, ordered
our food. And in walks,
Robert Patterson
and, Paterson, and, uh, FCA Twigs
when they were dating. Whoa.
Wow. Wow. And for the next
25 minutes. Me and my wife
are like trying to figure
it out if that's really them.
And like, we got through our appetizers and most of
a very good bottle of wine
just trying to figure that out.
And like we finally settled on.
Yeah. Yes. That's them.
That's them.
Well, like what were the odds of
what were the odds of both of them not being them?
Was it Halloween? Was it a couple's costume?
Because they were, the table
they had joined was very,
like normal looking family
like it didn't look
it didn't look like just them or anything
I was like oh maybe that's just like a
brother and a girlfriend or something
but no that's them that's tough for Allison here
my high school boyfriend was a spinning image
from 11 and he got roasted to hell it back when he walked out of the
head the theater for the super bad that's
oh man yeah right at
that's like the fucking ground zero of it you're right outside of
screening no no good all right I'm going to do the
last letter here
sure do it up dude as you as you get yourself together as you as you get yourself together
i will say superman too this friday holy shit it's happening this friday wow that came faster than

tickets are still available for king ralph i understand why you loyal british subjects are avoiding it but
be a little bad be a lot bad uh okay so this is cousin catfish hi gang uh steve that's me
Steve's comments about a catfishing
about catfishing in a past episode
inspired me to reach out regarding
my own catfishing story. Nice.
I had a cousin who I barely knew growing up
who was essentially a hermit from ages
nine until she was arrested.
I mean, wait a lot. All right.
Until she was arrested is a huge...
Eleven? Yeah, exactly.
This is like Jesus's timeline.
Then he was an adult and he got arrested.
Exactly.
Just skip right through it.
I love it so much.
More on that later.
Okay, thank God.
Okay, and we will get the story at least.
My cousin was the caretaker of my disabled aunt.
I would see my cousin occasionally when I'd visit my sick aunt at their house,
but it was just glimpses as she went into her bedroom.
In 2013, my cousin was arrested accused of impersonation extortioned and uttering threats
and fraud in Canada, but was likely charged to be charged with distributing child sexual abuse
material to the U.S. related to a massive catfishing
scan she had been involved with. Oh, Jesus
Lord, here we go. My cousin had catfished a
wannabe model and NBA player and would have gotten
away with it if the model had not lied about her age. She was 17
at the time. Oh, fuck. On this Wikipedia page,
I got to, now I got to click the subject. You just can read it.
Shelly Chartier is the lady's name.
I don't know if we should be commenting on an ongoing legal thing.
Uh, yes, that's it.
So basically she was 17 to the test.
She catfished a wad to be, she would have got it.
It was the bird, a bird man was the NBA player.
She catfish Christopher Anderson who.
I see.
Oh, wow.
This is a pretty famous story.
Actually, okay.
Wow, that's interesting.
It's a public story.
Eric, Eric, that's in the newspaper, this whole cousin's story is in the newspaper.
Yes, there's whole Wikipedia page about it.
You know, just really quick.
When Chartier was 27 in 2012, Paris Dunn, an aspiring actress, commented on the public status of a W.W. NBA player, Chris Anderson, leaving your cell phone number.
Charterier message done as the NBA player and engaged in the online relationship.
Charterier proceeded to set up fake social media accounts for Anderson and Dunn as well as reach out to the real Chris Anderson from the quote unquote Dunn account.
Tom Taylor, another fake account, a fictional friend.
There's always a fictional friend.
The world. I love the world they create.
It's so intricate.
Every last one of them.
It's smart.
You always use the third man.
He's like, I think that's a great idea.
You should give them pornography.
It's like, wow, thanks, random guy.
A fictional random analysis was used to facilitate a meeting
between the real Anderson and Dunn in Denver.
It's unclear if Chardier was behind this account.
As she stated multiple times, she was not.
She definitely was.
During the meeting with 33 NBA player engaged in sexual contact
with the then 17-year-old Dunn.
Oh, Christ.
Continued, but the meeting fizzled out.
This is not the letter anymore, right?
No, no, yes.
The Wikipedia.
This is your reading the police blotter.
Yeah, it's fun.
Subsequently done, continue to message the Anderson account.
Chartier claims that an attempt to stop the annoyance from the Tom,
the Tom Taylor account was utilized in a blackmail scheme that threatened to release
explicit images done sent, which at this point, the police were involved.
This is involved in a catfish TV show episode.
Is this a, has this been made into a lifetime movie yet?
Not yet.
Wow. This is great. You know what? Go ahead and move us into the podcast companies are listening. Put us into true crime now. Give us the buckets of money. You know, because the true crime people make so much money. Give it to us. We're talking about subject. She's going to butcher, unfortunately. The nude photographs of the teenagers consider child pornography, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. So that's interesting.
Look, it's possible you guys actually saw this story because it says she was the subject of a six season episode of Cats.
Matt Fish the TV show.
Wow, that's probably after Max left.
Max Joseph, of course, probably left the show by then, so I don't know if I would.
I remember a good one.
Looks like this was 2022, maybe.
Eric, remember that guy when he thought he was dating Katie Perry?
And then Katie Perry had to be like, no, I'm not dating you.
Oh, my fuck.
She was like really nice about it.
And you know who that guy was?
Russell Brand.
That's a glow up right.

Killer contractor

time to be alive, living in a lifetime
movie. This is probably
we said it yesterday, it's like if you looked up

to our review of it.
That's right. And finally, after that,
