What happened in your mouth?
Starting point is 00:05:39 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.
Starting point is 00:05:56 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.
Starting point is 00:06:12 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,
Starting point is 00:06:27 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.
Starting point is 00:06:42 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,
Starting point is 00:06:57 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
Starting point is 00:07:15 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.
Starting point is 00:07:34 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.
Starting point is 00:07:45 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?
Starting point is 00:08:02 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.
Starting point is 00:08:16 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.
Starting point is 00:08:34 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.
Starting point is 00:08:54 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.
Starting point is 00:09:13 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.
Starting point is 00:09:32 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.
Starting point is 00:09:46 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
Starting point is 00:10:10 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.
Starting point is 00:10:38 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
Starting point is 00:11:00 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,
Starting point is 00:11:16 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
Starting point is 00:11:32 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
Starting point is 00:11:50 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
Starting point is 00:12:05 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
Starting point is 00:12:21 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
Starting point is 00:12:40 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.
Starting point is 00:12:54 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
Starting point is 00:13:10 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
Starting point is 00:13:25 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
Starting point is 00:13:42 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
Starting point is 00:14:26 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
Starting point is 00:14:43 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
Starting point is 00:14:58 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.
Starting point is 00:15:12 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
Starting point is 00:15:44 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
Starting point is 00:16:00 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
Starting point is 00:16:16 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
Starting point is 00:16:35 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

Particularly a fan of the Nexus show. Very cool.
Starting point is 00:18:49 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.
Starting point is 00:19:13 and Shatnerate shit. Wait, isn't that Generations? That is Generations? Yes, it sure is. Oh. So I guess this person means generations
Starting point is 00:19:23 and not. Hmm. So, uh, yeah. Wow, good catch. But yeah, so you're watching a movie, you were watching a movie
Starting point is 00:19:31 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.
Starting point is 00:19:40 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
Starting point is 00:19:54 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
Starting point is 00:20:09 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?
Starting point is 00:20:26 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.
Starting point is 00:20:43 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,
Starting point is 00:21:22 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.
Starting point is 00:21:43 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
Starting point is 00:22:00 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
Starting point is 00:22:16 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
Starting point is 00:22:33 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
Starting point is 00:23:16 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
Starting point is 00:23:33 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
Starting point is 00:23:48 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.
Starting point is 00:24:05 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.
Starting point is 00:24:20 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.
Starting point is 00:24:31 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
Starting point is 00:24:46 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
Starting point is 00:25:00 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
Starting point is 00:25:22 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
Starting point is 00:25:46 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
Starting point is 00:26:15 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
Starting point is 00:26:31 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
Starting point is 00:26:53 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.
Starting point is 00:27:14 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.
Starting point is 00:27:31 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
Starting point is 00:27:46 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
Starting point is 00:28:02 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
Starting point is 00:28:22 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.
Starting point is 00:28:38 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,
Starting point is 00:29:05 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
Starting point is 00:29:22 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
Starting point is 00:29:41 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.
Starting point is 00:30:00 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
Starting point is 00:30:17 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.
Starting point is 00:30:33 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.
Starting point is 00:30:43 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.
Starting point is 00:31:04 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.
Starting point is 00:31:31 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.
Starting point is 00:31:45 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
Starting point is 00:32:01 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.
Starting point is 00:32:25 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.
Starting point is 00:32:39 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.
Starting point is 00:33:02 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.
Starting point is 00:33:42 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.
Starting point is 00:34:05 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
Starting point is 00:34:27 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
Starting point is 00:34:44 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
Starting point is 00:34:58 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.
Starting point is 00:35:22 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,
Starting point is 00:35:36 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
Starting point is 00:35:51 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.
Starting point is 00:36:07 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.
Starting point is 00:36:31 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
Starting point is 00:37:03 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
Starting point is 00:37:19 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.
Starting point is 00:37:37 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?
Starting point is 00:37:57 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.
Starting point is 00:38:12 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?
Starting point is 00:38:38 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.
Starting point is 00:38:54 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
Starting point is 00:39:29 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
Starting point is 00:39:44 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
Starting point is 00:40:16 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.
Starting point is 00:40:40 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
Starting point is 00:41:01 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.
Starting point is 00:41:25 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
Starting point is 00:41:58 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.
Starting point is 00:42:26 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.
Starting point is 00:42:43 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
Starting point is 00:42:54 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
Starting point is 00:43:04 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
Starting point is 00:43:14 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.
Starting point is 00:43:28 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.
Starting point is 00:43:48 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,
Starting point is 00:44:03 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,
Starting point is 00:44:16 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.
Starting point is 00:44:52 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,
Starting point is 00:45:10 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
Starting point is 00:45:29 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
Starting point is 00:45:46 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.
Starting point is 00:45:55 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?
Starting point is 00:46:08 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
Starting point is 00:46:33 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
Starting point is 00:46:57 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?
Starting point is 00:47:13 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.
Starting point is 00:47:29 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.
Starting point is 00:47:49 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.
Starting point is 00:48:12 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
Starting point is 00:48:51 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
Starting point is 00:49:07 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
Starting point is 00:49:22 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
Starting point is 00:49:40 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.
Starting point is 00:49:55 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.
Starting point is 00:50:05 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
Starting point is 00:50:38 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
Starting point is 00:51:23 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
Starting point is 00:51:42 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
Starting point is 00:52:01 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
Starting point is 00:52:15 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
Starting point is 00:52:27 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
Starting point is 00:52:40 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.
Starting point is 00:52:49 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.
Starting point is 00:53:10 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
Starting point is 00:53:45 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,
Starting point is 00:53:53 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.
Starting point is 00:54:00 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.
Starting point is 00:54:07 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
Starting point is 00:54:18 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
Starting point is 00:54:34 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
Starting point is 00:54:52 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
Starting point is 00:55:08 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

Starting point is 00:57:34 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.
Starting point is 00:57:52 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.
Starting point is 00:58:08 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
Starting point is 00:58:40 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.
Starting point is 00:59:05 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.
Starting point is 00:59:21 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.
Starting point is 00:59:57 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.
Starting point is 01:00:09 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.
Starting point is 01:00:29 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.
Starting point is 01:00:42 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.

Look, it's possible you guys actually saw this story because it says she was the subject of a six season episode of Cats.
Starting point is 01:01:28 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.
