This is a headgum podcast.
Welcome to W.H.M. Mailbag, everybody.
I'm Andrew Jupin alongside Stephen Sadek, Eric Siska, and Christopher Cabin.
We are here reading your letters.
Oh, my God. We got so much to get to.
I'm just going to dispense with the niceties and get right to it.
It's Steve Sadek.
Okay.
Let's start us off here.
The April Mailbag.
Here we go.
It's from Stephen from Charlotte.
Oh, shit.
Oh, really?
We demanded this.
Because you demanded it.
It's like the Lord said, ask, and you shall receive.
Stephen from Charlotte.
I was like,
who the fuck is that?
But this is the guy
that we talked about
on the ultraviolet episode.
He's the man that requested
ultraviolet.
And just to recap.
That requested ultraviolet.
He requested ultraviolet,
which first of all,
what a son of a bitch.
Second of all,
he claimed in the call
that this broke up
his relationship
with his girlfriend at the time.
So we demanded, of course,
we got to hear that story.
Get them deets, man.
Get them deets.
Deets.
Get them deets.
Here we're going.
go. And I do have to say, just because
I'm going to say it the right way, but
it's Stephen spelled with a V, which
we all know is wrong.
That's my middle name.
Which is wrong.
Stefan Rakel over here.
That's the cheap, Stevens.
Yeah, no, I got a relative
in Austria that's
Stefan. The right way.
Well, it's not Steven.
The royal way. I don't say Steven.
Where the fuck is the V?
The pH becomes what?
It's not a tell. It's not a
telephone. Wait, wait. The pH
stands for what on the periodic table
of elements that you're getting this sound from?
V8, that's the element.
Tomato juice.
All right, here we go. Stephen from
Charlotte on ultraviolet. Hey guys,
you wanted to hear my ultraviolet story,
so I wanted to tell it to you. Damn straight.
Yes, I'm Stephen from Charlotte. In 2006,
I was a senior in high school.
My girlfriend at the time didn't
attend the same school as me, so he would
get together on weekends and see movies.
She had talked all week about seeing this
movie that I had never heard of called
Ultra Violet. I agreed
and on Friday I picked her up and we headed to the theater.
My best friend
met us there. Here's a problem. You're on a date.
You're on a date. What the fuck?
My best friend met us there.
You see this girl twice a week.
Are you trying to...
Fuck your best friend? Oh, no.
Angle at a three-single. Get that angle.
Get an angle. I'm okay with that. Getting that angle.
Getting that angle.
My best friend. Put in the work early.
Yeah, exactly.
You know what? Lay in that fucking foundation cabin.
You got to lay the groundwork.
You can't just bring that on somebody.
Oh, hey, Sarah.
This is my best friend, Jerry.
Isn't he fit?
We were going to get dinner later.
Are you open for your dinner later?
Yeah.
You know, if you want to...
Dinner means sex.
Hey, hey, Jerry, why don't you give Sarah your number?
Just so you guys could talk to and then we'll all talk together.
Isn't texting fun?
Oh, I said the wrong emoji.
No, he didn't.
So, my best friend...
2006, we didn't have those yet.
That's true.
My best friend...
This emoji looks like a penis.
Sorry, sorry.
Did you just bomb our chat room?
Remember that?
Oh, fuck, yo!
You fucking nerds keep this bomb!
It's me being a bigger nerve,
copying, pasting shit to ruin your experience.
Yeah, oh yeah.
Of course.
So stupid.
All right, so they're seeing ultraviolet with his best friends.
If you don't know what bombing a chat room is.
My best friend,
met us there and we proceeded to the movie about 20 minutes in i looked at my best friend to ask if
you understood anything we were seeing to which he just looked at me wide-eyed and confused
you got to break up with this girl accurate accurate reaction to every
come on stephen if you broke up with her it could just be me and you
we could go see good movies we could see good movies stephen
Stephen, it doesn't have to be this way.
After the 90-minute
eternity dumpster fire ended,
while walking to the car,
my best friend and I berated the movie
to shred saying that the movie was nonsense
while my girlfriend,
while taking my...
By the way, so you walk, you take...
You're crashing your own date.
And then you and your friend
are criticizing the date on the way out.
The one that she picked out
I'd be like, you know what, man.
Well, he's in high school.
He's learning.
This is how you learn.
You're going to be a little obnoxious.
You've got to be.
How do we learn how to pick ourselves up, Master Way?
We crash our own dates.
Oh, I wish I had a good Michael King.
I mean, I feel like Alfred was always on Bruce's dates, right?
Oh, yeah.
Totally. Not on the first date, sir.
Maybe the second.
Master Wayne, when are we having a three-word?
I don't understand this.
Are they vampires?
Are they? What's going on?
Is it a future?
Boy, Master Wayne, this girl sure is stupid.
That movie was terrible.
Is that a ball person?
A black bar person, okay.
And her outfit is awful.
No, here it goes.
So while taking my girlfriend home,
she started gushing about how much she had.
adored the movie and how innovative and amazing it was.
We argued the entire ride to her house and she told me repeatedly,
I just didn't get the movie and it was above my head.
Oh, she's wrong.
Yeah, that's not possible.
You know what?
She's dead wrong.
You have to see the movie they're not making.
It's artistic.
You wouldn't understand.
It's a quiz show.
First of all, our relationship ended and we've only spoken once and said,
I don't know if you had a relationship if you're taking your buddy to dates.
Yeah.
It sounds like this was doomed from the start.
I've only talked to one since then.
I continue to hate this movie with a fire and a passion to this day.
Love the show.
Sorry for almost breaking you guys.
Stephen from Charlotte.
You really did almost break it.
It was tough.
It was tough.
That is not know what to do.
I was ice in my brain for two weeks after that one.
I couldn't bring myself to watch movies.
I almost hated watching movies.
We were at each other's throats.
I just was like, you know what, dude?
I'm fucking 33.
What are we doing here, man?
This is a podcast about what?
We're watching Who this week?
I'm white.
I'm in my 30s.
Don't I have a novel to write?
Oh, God.
That's sad.
All right.
Let's continue here.
Highlander 3.
What are you watching?
Comma Origins, period.
It's been a while since we had one of these.
True.
Good day, guys.
I'm guessing he's from Australia.
I hope so.
That's some post.
or shit. I don't know.
Pose or. Maybe it should be good day mates.
Right? No. You're saying good day.
You're on that continent or you're not saying good day.
Yeah, you can't just, you can't even drop that in like just you can call somebody mate, I guess, or say cheers.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, all this shit that us stupid Americans fucking co-op like fucking calling the Atlantic Ocean, the pond, shut up Americans.
I agree with you, but those stuff, that stuff you can spray.
sprinkle into conversation and no one's going to really like have an aneurysm about if somebody's like hey good day man i'm like
hey fuck you that's the only answer you can give go fuck you stupid american i'm pretty sure this guy's
australian oh thanks for the email anyway rather enjoyed the highlander three app and thought i'd share
my own experience with the movie when i watched it for the first time it was at a it was at a it was as a
Video rental at home.
At the time the family home was being extensively renovated
and the whole family being...
Stop saying family.
Being confined to based...
You're going to edit him on the fly, huh?
Basically, so the family was confined to basically two rooms next to each other.
Is this his family?
No, it's not his best friend.
It's his family.
He's angry for a family way.
Is this dog family way?
Separated by a temp.
Partition. Oh, that's hell.
Myself and my
brothers in one room and my parents
in the next. I was 13 or 14 at the
time. To get to the kitchen, my parents
had to walk through the room we were in.
So every time they came
through, they got an update on the
adventures of Connor McLeod
and friends.
I mean, this is one of those movies
you can't be watching.
Nope. Oh, yeah, dude. That's probably why I
loved it so much growing up.
Naturally, the first time during the movie
that my dad came through Mario Van Peebles
was being told no glove
no love by his lady friend
my dad asked us
what the movie was
it's Highlander 3 you know
the sequel to that Sean Connery one
but good move because you're in legit
territory remember that Sean Conner
that movie came out in theaters
yeah so did this one
yeah did it though
yes it did he seemed
I think it did
don't tell me it didn't
he seemed uncontrolled
Vince that
and returned to his chair
in the other room
with his cup of coffee.
What the fuck time
are you watching?
I thought this is not
a fucking 10 a.m.
Maybe it's like an after-dinner
decaf.
Maybe we're doing like an
AA meeting.
Is that what's going on
in the other room?
That's what his friends are doing?
My brothers and I
had to live in one room
and my parents
conducted the AA meetings
on the other side
of this curtain.
We were able to watch movies
but not dirty ones.
Fast forward to
however long it was, he comes in again with another cup.
I don't know what cup.
Yeah, cup, that's, it's, it's slang they use.
Oh, is that cup of cup of.
Okay, cup of vegemite.
This time.
No, no, no.
Australia rules football?
What do you want me to say?
Foster's, of course.
Jesus Christ.
Keep going.
This time to be confronted by Mr. Lambert,
plowing Deborah Kara Unger to
the strange.
This is getting you grounded, pal.
You're grounded.
Discount River Dance.
Oh, I love that.
He didn't comment this time.
Seconds after he left the room, my mom called,
oh, mom, yeah, okay.
So we're, yeah, definitely not an American posing, right?
Because they would never say mum.
No.
No, no one says mom.
That's the one thing we won't steal.
Thank goodness.
My mom called out,
What movie are you boys watching?
At this point.
that was it was a character of course at this point i felt that i had to pause the movie
and take the video case for them to see just so what they
just so that they knew i hadn't rented some softcore martin skinnax flick
whenever you guys use the what are you watching line this movie always comes to mind
first uh what was the biggest offender in the department
during what was the biggest offender in that department during your teenage years love the show
brin um i think that's right brin brine i think it's brin brin i think it's brin brin let's go with
brin i think that sounds pretty cool and no offense i know i'm a boorish ugly american
uh i we would watch some fucking red shoe diaries uh when my mother was at american legion
meetings with uh her friend there we'd go in the other room and
see what the red shoe diaries were up to.
And it was always like, what, what are you
watching? I was like, oh, it's a, it's a
thriller. Somebody's stalking something.
Exactly. Anything went
in my house. Oh, really? Anything goes?
Well, you guys are watching cruised it on the weekend.
My parents subscribed to the Playboy channel
and they were like,
it's there if you want it. Goodbye. We're
going after the night. That's a good move, man.
We're going to get some beers at the Legion. Do what you will.
Yeah. Was it a good move?
I mean, you turned out okay.
I turned out like a disaster.
For some reason, all my crossed wires work on this specific podcast, and that's it.
Other than that, I'm a disaster.
I can attest that.
I've lived with you.
So bye.
Chris?
I can also, I can support that.
I guess.
You had some pretty fucking freewheeling parents.
Well, I guess, well, because I kind of.
broke them
like a horse
and now you ride them
family way
I watched whatever
because my dad was scamming for Columbia
house so like you know
you got to watch whatever tapes he gets this thing
go on for years
years upon years
my family we did the one and done
it was like the Latanza heist and we walked away
you know what I mean? No so I
came into Chris Cabin's life
in about the year 2000
This thing had been going on for a while
And was still going
No way, the year 2000
Into that time
We were at least three years deep into DVD culture
This motherfucker was still getting 10 VHS tapes a month
I was going to say, did you get a DVD from Columbia House?
Yes, we started getting DVDs from Columbia House.
What? You were getting digital video discs from Columbia House.
Ask your grandparents what Columbia House is, ladies and gentlemen.
That's your great grandparents.
Yeah, seriously.
no so i mean we had a bounty back there so i got to see like everything but for some reason
i've never understood it my mom had this big thing about me not seeing seven oh really she didn't
want me because she heard it was a torture movie and she didn't like those torture movies right she's
right she is right but of course you know we're on vacation and you know they go out for a nice
dinner and I'm a walk
from the video store
and they don't give a shit what you're doing
in Massachusetts
I think they put that on the bottom of all their
license plates. Yes, they had to fix
it for PR purposes but the original
one I believe, yes. So I
watched it and like they came home
like right at
the end where he
when he shoots
and Spacey and
she's like
you did it!
And I was like, yeah, you ruined vacation.
And then after that, I mean, that was the floodgates.
And then, of course, you know, two years later, I'm watching happiness with them.
Yeah.
With them.
Yeah, that's uncomfortable.
Now, I was not as fortunate as you all.
Like, the fucking, what are you watching was like born in the Jupin household.
And I think it was because I had younger siblings.
But it was always like, you know, the second someone said fuck, it was like,
And this was amazing because, like, my parents, God love them, have filthy mouths.
Sure.
My dad invents profanity.
But it was like, as soon as someone said, fuck, it was like, what is this?
And it was always like, I've told this before, but it was like the poorest timing, you know?
Of course.
I got, it was, these were in the early DVD days.
I got like a flip disc animal house DVD.
So we're watching that.
And it's right where Belushi's spying on the lady.
Flip disc DVDs don't get comfortable.
No.
You know, it's just getting ready to stand up again.
No, it wasn't like the casino DVD.
It was like, you know, four three on one side.
Wide screen on the other.
And it was like right where Belushi's watching the chick like change.
And she starts like sticking her finger down her underpants.
And my mom came home from work.
And it was just like, what is this?
Oh, come on.
And I was like, look, he fell off the ladder.
It's fucking hilarious.
Look at that.
He's going to do the mashed potato things.
Oh, it's over.
I've still never seen the Eddie Murphy film Metro because I,
I wanted to rent it one time and I couldn't
because Eddie Murphy says dirty things.
You're not missing anything.
No, not a thing.
Fair enough.
He says the wrong kind of F bomb.
You're right mom.
You're right, Mom.
Well, she's right.
Track four on Raw.
Well, you're right.
All right, Chris Cabin.
All right.
My father versus Steven Seagal,
also another cheap Stephen.
Yeah, absolutely.
Versus Blockbuster.
Oh, boy.
Hey dudes, my name is Nima, or Nima?
Nima.
He's a pronounced Nima, and I am a dude.
Keep reading.
Are you okay, Eric?
Yeah.
Okay.
What are you reading?
And wanted to share, pronounce Nima and I am a dude, and wanted to share a bittersweet experience
I had when I was but a wee lad.
Back in 1998, I was 13 years old and had a family tradition of renting movies, video games,
every weekend from Blockbuster.
I know that's like...
Oh, absolutely.
I know that life.
And I never rent a video game system?
I did.
I rented, uh, what was the Nintendo virtual boy?
Oh, right.
Yeah.
I rented that a lot and I think it fucked up my eyes for a couple years.
You had to like put down a deposit though, right?
That was the thing?
Yeah, you were kind of leaving a copy of a credit card with them, which I think was a whole
dangerous move.
Oh, you're fucking leaving it a blockbuster.
There's practically Carnies over there, man.
I know the fucking scumbags in my town that worked.
at those. I just saw this news piece
the other day about the last
one of the last blockbusters that's
still in operation. In like Alaska
or something? Was Silla.
My friend drove by that the other, like he was in
Alaska. He came back. The first
thing he said is like, my God, there's blockbusters
in Alaska. I was like, we're going. We're going.
And there was this whole thing about like the community of the town
like how like in the winter
like it's nice to go to the video store.
Oh, that's like God. Jesus Christ. I think
if I walked through the gates of a blockbuster,
I'd start crying.
I really would because I've come to a point in my life from, like, you know what, Netflix, fucking suck a dog's dick.
Yeah.
Well, just go to Alaska because it's just blockbusters and ponderoses and all the other banished fucking chain restaurants and video stores.
Island of Lost Toys.
There's a fucking KB toy store.
That's where Borders books went.
I think George H.W. Bush is still president of Alaska.
No, he's not because they've legalized weed.
Oh, that's true.
All right.
continue this is a long one my dad at the time ran his own karate school and had an obsession
with stephen seagall okay all checking out that's great uh every weekend my dad would rent a variety
of seagall movies even renting that many of them even renting the same movie multiple
time well this is nineteen ninety eight man there were plenty of steven so yeah they were back
These are classics, so I understand.
We're post-Glimmer Man, I think, at this point.
Man, you know, a pre-Glimberman world, I don't want to know it.
It might have been in theaters at this point.
No, glimmer man's when I check out.
Yeah, I agree.
What's the movie where he's killing all the Jamaicans?
Mark for death.
Yes.
That sounds right.
That's a stay tuned.
They're all stay tuned, Steve.
One weekend, he decided to rent 1994s on Deadly Ground.
Nice.
And was so obsessed with.
the film that he bought a jacket
closely resembling
the one Seagall wore in the film
complete with frilly
brown tassels
running around the sleeves. I love it.
Oh, good gracious.
As the following weekend approached,
we made our way
back to Blockbuster for
another round of rentals. I chose
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and my dad
chose 1995's
under siege to Dark Territory.
You better believe he did.
God damn it.
So we get to the counter and hand the guy our membership cards.
He scans it then informs my dad that on Deadly Ground had not been returned.
It was my responsibility to gather the rentals and return them with my mom.
Gather the rentals.
Boy, gather the rentals.
Are you done milking that cow?
Gather the rentals.
You and your mother will return them to the Blockbuster.
Postaste.
Tie up the hay and get back to Blockbuster.
Well, if those tapes aren't in Anchorhead by my son up,
they'll be hell to pay.
Well, you could go to the Academy next year.
You know, with the rental harvest coming up,
I'm going to really need you.
You could go to Tashi Station another time.
Gather the rentals.
You've got to bring them the blockbuster.
Oh, my God.
With your rental sack.
and that we will be charged $90.
Oh, that's how they get you.
Wasn't that a million dollars back then?
Yeah, please.
98?
1998 money, holy shit.
If it wasn't brought back, after promising my dad, I had returned, gathered, and returned
the tape with my mom confirming we did so, he turns his attention back to the cashier.
This is trouble.
Keep in mind that my dad is a.
5-7 angry ball of Middle Eastern Black Belt Karate Master
with short man syndrome.
Oh, I love it. Oh, boy.
As he's screaming at the porkashir,
some of his insults start to sound very familiar.
This is so awesome.
My dad was straight up insulting the guy
with lines pulled from Seagal's entire film catalog
as if he made them up himself.
God damn it.
Oh, that's horrible.
lines like, you think
you think you're a big man, huh?
Big man, show me what a big man
can do.
Yelling at this 16 year old kid.
Exactly.
This practical carny.
If your dad knew how stupid you were,
he'd trade you in for a pet monkey.
Oh.
When I'm done fucking you.
You can go to a proctologist.
Where is this one from?
I don't know, but I want to rent it.
And get a super.
soothing ointment, rub it on the hole
that hurts most, how do
you want it, how do you want it?
Just screaming, how do you want it at a
teenager? I think this was from his
sex dungeon they found.
Didn't he have a sex dungeon? He did.
He definitely had a sex dungeon. We don't know.
No, he definitely had someone in a sex dungeon.
He at least rented one.
Gather the rentals.
You better return that sex dungeon
postaste.
My dad threatened to
do karate on the cost.
several times. Oh, I'll fucking do karate
on you, mother fuck. I'm ready to do it right
now. You see these tassels?
You see these tassels?
And even
demonstrated how he would karate
up blockbuster.
I am hitting
the chair. My dad
was doing all of this while wearing
his brown, frilly, faux
suede, segal jacket with
tassels, billowing and all.
Oh, God, I love it. So the cashier
picks up the phone and says he's going
to call the police
good job
and if he didn't leave
yeah absolutely
so yeah my family
was banned from Blockbuster
as we walk outside
my dad calls out to the cashier
to get his attention
and Roundhouse kicks a sign
outside of the store
from thinking it belonged
to Blockbuster
but it turned out to be a sign
for the sandwich shop
sharing the same build
oh grandma's sandwiches
took a real hit that day
oh god
The best part, years later, when I was moving into my first apartment, I discovered a VHS tape.
Oh, come on.
Wedged between my TV and the wall.
The title read On Deadly Ground.
Oh, Neimo.
Oh, man.
Boy, I told you to gather the rentals.
You can move into an apartment next year.
To this day, he doesn't know the truth and he will never find out.
It's a deep park seat ground.
would take to my grave. Good on you. Have any of you guys gone through a similar ordeal or been
embarrassed beyond all belief by your parents? Keep making me laugh, gents. You guys are pretty good at it.
Hugs and kisses from Fresno, California, Steve.
I mean, yeah, well, there's a story where I did, this is almost the exact same Buffy the Vampire
Slayer story, which I've told them the show before. Like, yeah, my dad would get, my dad would get
into it with people. My dad will still get into it with people because, you know, he's an arguer,
man, he will argue. I remember being
in a McDonald's. And there
was, this is, ask your grandparents about this.
You remember being in a McDonald's.
Hold on Eric. You didn't
order it on your phone? I was
in a McDonald's with my dad and
there was a woman smoking next to us,
which was the style at the time.
Sure was. And we were in the smoking section
and he started getting into it
with her. And it's like, yeah, man,
we're the smoking section, baby, it's McDonald's.
It's 1988. This is what we're doing today.
What the fuck, leg, did he have to stand on
time he's just like it's disgusting i've got kids here kind of it's yeah i've got kids here
god that's pretty embarrassing you know my parents didn't do this but i had an uncle who just
loved fucking fighting with people just fucking yelling in public man one time i will never forget this
we went out we went out for dinner for my cousin's birthday and it was like maybe like four of us
and and you know not like a huge party not like 20 people at a long citizen cane table just
like a tiny little dinner at this like
it was like a like a brew house kind of a thing
and we get the food
and they forgot my cousin's

back deck patio situation.
Everyone's just looking for a quiet dinner on the river.
He is screaming at this woman.
Yeah, you are ruining your daughter's birthday, sirs.
That's absolutely right.
Anybody else?
I don't really think there were many public freakouts.
Okay, I was going to say.
I think, no, I mean, my parents are embarrassing big time,
but they haven't really screamed at a lot of people that I recall.
I'll have to think on it.
next mailbag. I'll try to drudge up a memory.
Once
my dad got pulled over
and had had one too many
and answered the
door when the police knocked on it with
a hat
with a
pet fake lobster
on it. And he
answered to the police, my name is
the lobster police.
No way. Your dad
immediately arrested.
Fifteen years.
I would give that man
15 years
Fucking county lobster
Lock up for the king of the lobsters
A 15 minute rant from my mother later
Yeah that'll do
We're half a mile from the place
We're supposed to be
I'm the lobster
Too many a one by the way
That's not even alcohol at that point
Two one too many paint thinner shots
Didn't your dad flip the fuck out
In an usher when you went to see the Tom and Jerry movie
was the story with that do you remember
this was forever ago

it crashed and like
nobody came in fast enough
oh yep to tell us what was going to happen
you didn't fix this problem fast
it was you know a minute later
and he storms out
and somebody got it
I don't know how and I don't know
and I don't know what it looked like
I have never understood the whole like
making a spectacle
You know, no.
Like shit happens, I will, I'll throw like a sarcastic comment here or there.
I'll get into it sometime.
Not get into it, get into it, get into it, but I'll just sort of get a little irishy.
Oh, wait a second.
I got into it.
Oh, did you get into?
I just remembered.
I got into it last weekend.
Oh, yeah?
So I was, you know, it's been a fucking shitty, you know, week or so, man.
Sure.
I said on social media, my grandfather passed away.
So I was, you know, kind of feeling down in the dumps.
I was like, all right, man, this is, you know, the next day I got to leave for upstate to
of this funeral or whatnot. How about I go
to the Alamo draft house
down in Brooklyn, see myself a motion
picture, have a beer, take my mind
off everything. So I walk into this
auditorium. I got to tell you, first of all, I love the Alamo
Brooklyn. It's a great new facility.
I've only been there twice, but both times
have been fine except for this fucking thing.
So we go, I'm seeing Ben Wheatley's free
fire. So I go in,
I'd miss the movie at Toronto, so I've been
sort of interested in checking it out. Go
into this theater, and there's like two ushers
and it's like one usher who's been there,
I guess since it opened like two months ago or whatever,
and then like this newbie.
So this guy's like showing this newbie the ropes, right?
I walk in and he's like,
so the movie that's playing in this auditorium is Free Fire.
And if you'll notice, like on the screen,
this is like our pre-show presentation
and the, you know, here at Draft House,
like the pre-show is always catered to the movie that's playing right now.
And Free Fire, I got to tell you, this movie fucking sucked.
This movie, man, it's only good if you're fucking drunk,
this movie is so fucking terrible
you know he's got and I'm like
three feet away I'm taking my coat off
and I just I was like
Jesus Christ and this guy stops he's like
what and I was like
I'm about to sit down
to watch this movie what are you doing
and he's like no I'm just
and I was like no no no I've been waiting to see
this movie since September what are
you doing and this other guy
comes up and he's like it's like kind of older
maybe like a manager or something he's like oh what's
going on here I was like well I'm about to
it down for this movie and this guy's talking
shit about it.
And these two kids like scurried
out of the theater and this guy
tried to pass it off as like
oh don't that guy doesn't even worry.
He's like joking. He's like that guy doesn't even work here.
He came up from the target downstairs.
I was like, oh, I don't think so.
I took to Twitter immediately.
I started fucking going at it
and I kept tagging draft house. And to
their credit, it was great customer service.
They were like, huh, that's
really fucking terrible. We will address
this with the entire staff immediately. Wow. But come on, man, talking shit about the movie I'm
about to see. Well, you know, that actually brings to mind I had a public freak out now long ago.
It was probably like a year. No, it was like two, two, three years ago. I had like an ear infection
and I had to go to an urgent care because I was just like it was driving me nuts. I don't visit
doctors because I'm a Christian scientist.
Everyone knows that. Insert any religion reason. No, no, no, no, it's just I'm,
I just don't go to doctors.
I don't believe in it.
If I die, I die.
But I had an ear infection and it was bothering me.
So I go there and I get a prescription like for antibiotics or whatever.
And they send it to this like Dwayne Reed or whatever.
And I go there and they're like, no, no, no, not here.
And I go, I'm like, oh, God, you know, I call this doctor, you know, I get it sent again.
And they're like, no, no.
and it like happens like three times
and then I flip the fuck out
in this Dwayne Reed
to the point where this kid
is visibly afraid of me
and I leave
I give it like a day
is there a highlight sentence
you could think of
like one thing that you might have said
that might have really done it
was just blank rage
there was a lot of fucking shits
I was basically I was going
I was seen red
I don't even remember what I was saying
but the funny part of the story
is like the next
day or something. You realize you were at the wrong
Dwayne Reed? No, no. I finally got it
worked out. And I'm like, well, shit, that's the closest
one to my house. I go back. I go
back and there's another dude
that's like, like, the kid
sees me and he's fucking like
running for it. So
he's got a gun. What's
the appropriate reaction in this
scenario? I decided to chase
him. No, you didn't. I
chased him to apologize
about what I did the other day. Oh, there
you go but imagine that i just ran after him
how did he react when he realized it was an apology he was like
he was just like oh okay oh yeah oh yeah it was like whatever you want man yeah he's like
back it away he's about to open the register he's handing you all this ear
it's in here dang it dang it i got it all it's the blue Nissan
god that is great that's awful all right all right
and Deda's dick.
Do, do, do, the dick.
Hey, W.H.M. Pals, love the show.
You guys have helped me through some real hard times.
I was the guy at the L.A. Suburban Commando show
who made Steve pretty uncomfortable
when I told him he and the other boys
helped me through my meth addiction.
One year clean, woohoo.
I don't mean uncomfortable.
I was just flabbergasted.
Yeah, I mean, you just do a live show
and somebody's like, by the way,
your stupid comedy jokes helped with my meth addiction.
I don't know what the fuck to say to that.
You know, I was impressed.
I'm very glad for the man.
Well, let's, you know, congratulate him on one year being clean.
Absolutely, that's amazing.
That's no small feet.
We just make fucking weird Nicknulty voices.
Yeah, well, that's all.
Basically all we do.
And then we yell at people in Dwayne reads.
In our off time.
So today, I'm taking pictures of a cross-carrying event for Good Friday, as I am a church communications guy.
Then I get called upon to carry the cross for a while.
I'm not religious.
in the least, but I respect the ritual, and it's
my job to kind of fake it, so
I carry it for half a mile
with some other people. What the fuck?
How long is this walk? I don't know.
How long did Jesus walk? What, is
a marathon named after him?
Yes, Jesus Marathon. Oh, congratulations, you completed a half
Jesus. I know, because
there's a fucking sticker on the bumper
of your Subaru. Here, let me put
a napkin up to your face. Oh, look,
it's your visage.
Yeah, we used to
to do in the Catholics, you do the stations of the cross,
but that's just you're kind of going around the church.
You go around the church. It's endless enough as it is,
but we're not going outside. I think this is
like the... Real hardcore shit.
The evangelical, like you fucking
feel the punishment.
While we're walking, I hear a close
but fate in conversation about data from
Star Trek's dick and how
crazy his fucking must be.
Wait, wait, wait, you're carrying a cross
and you are hearing about
data's fucking fully functional.
cock. Well, that's the Lord, don't you know?
And how much of a pervert
Dr. Soong must be
to endow his fucked up sparkly
self-portrait Pinocchio with a yarr-satisfying
proto-torpedo.
I like when people write it in the mailbag
and they got some clever sentences.
I like the flowery language.
As discomfort mounts, I realize
the voices are familiar.
It was the W.H.M. Boys,
broadcasting from my pants as my phone
sometimes has a mind of its own.
Oh, man. This, yeah.
You know what?
But man, fucking airplane mode to the max.
This has happened to me, not this, but like, you know, your phone, like, I'll be on the, I'll be on the Turlet, like, trying to download a podcast for when I get out of the work, Turlet.
And then all of a sudden, Red Shoe Diaries comes on.
Then Zach Lowe's talking about basketball.
And I'm like, dude, shut up, Zach Lowe.
I quickly scrambled to turn my phone off while trying to carry my share of a symbol of Christ's sacrifice before Eric puts the horrifyingly gross Patreon cherry on top.
of the already iffy subject.
Well, you know, we
died for your sins.
And it's Patreon, man. If you
have a Patreon subscription, it gets
gross on there. It gets gross.
It gets gross. I am positive.
The church elders that were less
than a foot away from me carrying the cross
heard this as well, but didn't
say anything to me. Thank God
for the silent rage and passive
aggressiveness of Minnesota Nice.
Thanks for everything, guys.
Well, you think... Sorry about that.
It's embarrassing.
You think Picard ever went to the holodeck and got himself crucified?
Just to see what it was like.
Or, you know, he played Pontius Pilate.
I'll let you go, Jesus.
Computer.
Turn up pain frequency.
You know, he's just going in there and doing Jesus Christ Superstar all the time.
What's the bus telling me what's happening?
What's the bus telling me what's happening?
Oh, Mr. Data.
What are you doing here?
He makes Data play Jesus.
He's like, give me.
those logs mister
and then he
nails him to the cross
oh I love it
I could crucify a robot
they don't feel pain
Mark
all right let's keep going
all right
this is a
these are two emails
that were so similar
I'm going to read them
really back to back
okay
I'm going to discuss them
in kind of a long form here
I like that
okay
one hey WHM gang
love the show
you're hilarious
yada yada yada
they wrote yada yada
which I appreciate
it's not just us being rude
you yada yotted over the best part
now I'm
now the reason I'm writing
is because I was reminded of an incident recently
that I was in high school
my then girlfriend was over and I was trying to get
her to watch Raising Arizona
one of my favorite movies that she had never seen
she kept wanting to ignore the movie
and just have sex
you know what you know what you know what
you can save Raising Arizona
for fucking 2 o'clock on a Sunday
get down to fucking
You're in high school, by the way, figure it out, man.
Yeah, totally. Fuck.
Just fuck.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
You're in high school.
Yeah.
We're not their parents.
They're not legal.
I don't know.
Listen,
fuck when appropriate.
Do what's in your heart.
No, no, no, never pass up a free lunch.
Totally.
Especially over watching Raising Arizona.
I love that movie.
Get it wet.
So she wanted to have sex while I kept saying,
I just really wanted to watch, wanted her to watch.
watch the movie. Oh, God.
Needless to say, she ended up not liking the movie
because she wasn't paying attention to it.
Because she wanted to fuck. Fast
forward to now, and we've been married
for 15 years come July.
Holy shit. See her. It all worked out.
She's pretty forgiving.
Well, as long as you get married, guys.
Yeah, exactly. Get married, then have sex.
That's what I'm saying. But she still doesn't
see the genius of raising Arizona, though
she does love the other Coen brother movies.
My question is, was I insane
to choose love of movies over physical love?
or have you ever had a similar experience?
Keep on casting, is that a phrase, Adam?
So the second one here is, hey, gang, first of all,
I wanted to say I much love the show.
I eager await new episodes, but when I need to pick me up,
I always return to your thinner episode, sure.
Something about the pasta cruise always lifts my spirits, that's nice.
Well, here's the thing.
We've done 300 episodes at this point.
I have no clue what she's talking about.
I think it was the fat guy in thinner was eating pasta.
I think we made some on a boat crack.
Yeah, he was eating pasta on a boat.
That's right, yeah. There you go. There you go. Oh, now I remember from the movie.
All right.
All right. Here's my story. A few months ago, I wanted a date with a guy.
I like that.
We had gone on a few dates prior and had been friends before that, so I knew him pretty well.
That particular day, we went to see a midnight showing of blue velvet at the IFC center.
Oh, fuck. That theater is terrible.
That's an all right theater.
It's disgusting.
I had never seen it, so I didn't know how insane it was that he suggested this as a date movie.
Yeah.
after watching it
and being at once horrified
and mesmerized
as per usual with Lynch films
he asked me what I thought
I gave him my honest opinion
which was
that I knew it was
incredibly well directed
and acted but I hated
and I never wanted to see it again
which is a totally valid thought
he was taken aback by that
and he said he had seen Blue Velvet
that not only is Blue Velvet
one of his favorite films
he's seen it hundreds of times
that's first of all he's lying
nobody's seen anything hundreds of times
This really disturbed me and changed the way I thought about him as a person.
It's wild to me that somebody could easily watch Isabella Rosalini get brutally raped by Dennis Hopper
multiple times and seemingly not have a problem with it.
My question is to you guys is this.
For you, what are the movies that if somebody says it's one of their favorite films
and negatively affects how you see them?
Any of them?
Keep up the good work, Sonia from Brooklyn.
Any of them, they're Human Centipede movies.
yeah that's what that is yep well i've seen them all in theaters but only once one and done well that
changes my view of you but um blue velvet i like it it's a great i mean i love that movie it's a
great movie i wouldn't be like it should be a comfort movie no it's like hey hey baby and
this thing is like hey hey baby date movies and uh movies you're watching uh in your bedroom or
whatever you
this is fluff
you abandon it
don't hold it precious
you know
responding to both of these
I definitely understand
where the impulse
comes from
like I get it
like you want to share
some piece of art
because at this
I imagine at this age
those things matter
a lot to you
those things are your personality
you're passionate
you haven't been
fucking stamped down
by the world
stomp stomped
stump I mean I don't know
I mean like clear
I don't know how old
these people
people or that would change a lot of this conversation.
You got to preface it. You got to be like, hey, man,
I really like this movie. It's a really well-made movie,
which it is. Blue Velvet is excellent.
It's fucked up. You've got to acknowledge. You've got to be like, hey, it's
also fucked up. And I promise
afterwards we'll get ice cream. And you've got to know
who you're taking on a date here, too.
There are blue velvet people and there are not
blue velvet people. There's no. Nothing right or wrong
with either of those people, but you just kind of get
a feeling for who those people might be. And if he
knew you for that long and didn't, like,
couldn't read that, that
that clearly means that he was very intent
on this thing.
Raising Arizona might be one of my least
favorite Coens. Really? On the lower end
it? Wow. It's on my high end. You like
it less than lady killers?
Well, no, I said on the low end,
not the end of the end.
Yeah, that's the asses end of a Cohen Brothers movie. I'll tell you
that much. I'll tell you what.
More of an intolerable
cruelty guy.
If you go on a date
with a person and their favorite movie
is intolerable cruelty.
Run the fuck out
Golden Corral
But also to the first guy
That's crazy
Come on
That's crazy
You've seen it a bunch of times
And I mean like there is
There is sort of
I do understand that thing though
Of the like
I'm taking somebody
You see this movie
And they're not
Because I've gotten that
Where I've gotten grown out of that
Where I'm like
I'm showing somebody something
You're not watching
You're not watching
Oh it's the best part
Yeah
You got to grow out of that too
you got to just let go and like if someone doesn't find something on their own then you know
if someone's fucking grabbing your rod man and you're ready ready to go go for it that's what's
fucking crazy is someone wanted to fuck and someone refused to fuck because raising arizona is
but also now what i guess human centipede we said but like are there any other movies for the
from the second email like that would change your opinion if somebody has that happened
my favorite movie is martyrs i've seen martyrs a hundred times yeah that's a good one
What is Martyrs?
It is a French film?
It's a French in the wave of the new French extreme.
Yes.
High tension inside.
It's very bloody and disgusting and very tense.
And if somebody had seen that really more than twice, I'd be like, are you insane?
You know, I- Excuse me, are you insane?
I hate the harp on this.
Somebody's a really rabid Zach Snyder fan.
That's a big problem.
That's a big problem.
Of intense Michael, like you enjoy Michael, Michael Bay movies, I'm fine with you.
Sure.
But the ones who are like, he's the best film, like, Armageddon is the best movie ever made.
I know people like that.
I do too.
And I, those people just upset me in general.
Yeah, it changes your view of them, even if they are seemingly an okay person outside of that.
You know the truth that they're not.
It suggests an inner darkness that I just don't want to deal with right now.
I don't know if this.
kind of person exists and I would
wager probably not but I'm just thinking
of it as I look at the criterion
on my shelf right now but if
someone was like you know what man when I have a bad
day like a real rotten ass day
and it's raining and I got
fucking fired and I just want to like
come home veg out
and relax and I put
on Alan Renee's night and fog
I'm like that
person is fucking
terrible and might indeed
be a reincarnated him
alternatively,
Salo.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Salo,
120 days of Sodom
if someone's like,
oh boy,
come Christmas time,
I'd love to put that movie on.
Seen that more than three times?
That's,
obviously,
Blue Velvet's a cake walk.
Yeah.
He's not making you watch
the Gestapo's last orgy.
I mean,
that's the thing,
right?
There are a lot of things worse
than Blue Velvet.
Yeah.
But it is definitely one that
it war.
It's a discussion, yeah.
Just, you know, Sonia, expand your horizons,
watch a lot more horrible things.
And then, and then...
Wait a second.
And then you'll realize it was a great movie.
Oh, no.
Did you go on a date with Eric?
No, no, no.
Eric Siska's new podcast, change your mind.
Actually, welcome back to Blue Velvet.
It's actually awesome.
Actually.
Episode 69.
No, no.
Actually.
It's okay if it's not your thing.
I totally understand that.
It's a disturbing film.
But, you know, get over it.
Come on.
I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
No, no. I understand.
I like raising Arizona, too.
All right. Last email.
There's a long one.
This is me.
Yeah.
Greening out during Zootopia.
Uh-oh.
Hello there, fellows.
I have been binge listening to the show for the past few months,
and it has been a lifesaver with my L.A. commute.
I also want to put in a good word for us, by the way.
I also wanted to know.
You obviously work for Hollywood, so put it.
That's what I there is.
I saw the movies.
I also wanted to note that when I first began listening to the show,
I had to immediately Google your names, oh boy,
and scan through the day's issue of the IMDB Tribune because I thought,
A, Stephen was the same guy that voiced Carl,
the movie-loving convenience store worker on family guy.
I don't even know what that is.
That's an earlier one.
That's John Benjamin.
which is not me at all.
You wish you were John Benjamin.
I might be taller than John Benjamin,
but he might be taller than me.
It goes one way or the other, man.
His career is taller than you.
Oh, it's towering.
And B,
that Eric was actor Eric Sisto
because of their voices sound similar.
And I thought I heard him say Sisto instead of Siska.
I think she's thinking of Jeremy Sisto.
Jeremy Sisto.
I don't know who that is.
Law and Orders, Jeremy Sisto.
He was in.
Rachel Griffith.
brother and ridden he's in clueless he's in oh yeah hideaway as well
he's jeff goblum's double and hideaway uh my apologies if this offends either of you
anyway i wanted to share my story about how i ended up passed out across a row of movie
theater seats during the screening of the film zootopia rut row my boyfriend and i hadn't
planned on seeing a movie that day but my phone was being held captive at the apple star in the
mall so we thought we had some time to kill and I figured we should just catch a movie while
we waited why Zootopia I think it was the only one that looked mildly entertaining that weekend
I saw Zootopia I liked it quite a bit yeah it's fine I didn't watch it because I'm not a fucking
child no I'm kidding that's I was watching Be Velvet god damn no he's waiting for Star Wars
fucking idiot actually it's a great movie uh no actually I didn't want to see Zootopia
it's on Netflix never got to
Oh, it's on Netflix.
Did you hear that, guys?
It's on Netflix.
I should note that while we were waiting to be helped at the Apple Store,
I remember that I had two triangles of a Delta 9 edible that my boyfriend had me
holding my purse from the previous night.
And this is fucking Los Angeles.
And we're sitting in here in New York City like idiots.
like fucking idiot hands a mouth every week and here we're just like afraid elliot nass is about to kick
the door just because we even said it it's a different it's a different world i am fucking
pulling up floorboards every goddamn night just to relax and you're at the fucking apple store
with your delta nine squares oh god it is really it's a beautiful it's a fucking beautiful thing
uh yeah well you know you're gonna have to import your water for
ever sooned it.
It goes both ways, man.
The boyfriend
drinks a
fair share of tall glasses of water daily.
Well, I usually stick to
CBD because I'm such a lightweight.
I don't know what that is.
This is a different language.
They got a whole other fucking language
out there.
Chris Gavin, can you train?
Alphabet soup.
You translate.
You speak, you speak
I speak water.
You speak fucking freedom.
Um, I, yeah, you don't know.
All right.
That day, however, I don't know.
That day, however, I decided to eat a whole triangle, 60 milligrams of THC, thinking I was a badass and wanted to show off my tolerance to the newish boyfriend.
Oh, this is a showboat.
This is what happens.
Afternoon at the mall.
I should also note that I have a heart and blood pressure problem.
This is another reason I chose to.
to be a lightweight
and why this again
was a very stupid decision
to my part.
It started out
as an afternoon
at the Apple store
and she was never seen again.
She was taking drugs
I can't pronounce
while a bunny cop
ran around the screen.
Have you ever seen
the Robert Duval movie
THX-198?
It sounds like that.
I was feeling good
walking to the theater
feeling even better
when we sat down.
had a nice buzz going,
then the lights dimmed
and I ruined it
for all the kids now.
Then I started screaming at children.
The previews started...
Those animals are talking!
That fox is wearing a tie!
What is happening?
And immediately I felt like I was being pulled through the rabbit hole.
I could barely open my mouth to form words
to inform the boyfriend that I was probably going to die right there.
Jesus Christ.
I tried to get up and walk.
out of the theater because I felt like I was going to pass out or throw up or my soul was going to
leave my body or some other horrific thing. This is a letter and a half. I couldn't even get up
and instead ended up crawling over two seats and passing out on the row of seats closest to
the aisle. Thankfully, there were the only, thankfully, there were only about four other people in the
theater, but I am sure it didn't look great to have some chick passed out across the theater
seats during what was a
cartoon movie.
The boyfriend who was also
riding high comforted me
by putting his hand on my left.
Oh, great, good job.
To make sure I was still alive, I don't...
You good?
Hey, this fox is wearing a tie.
Are you good? Little known fact.
Eric Siska did this same exact thing
when he saw the Great Gatsby.
Yeah, and also the greasy strangler.
Thanks a lot, Chris Cabin.
Oh, I have this fucking...
I got a story about Chris Cabin after this.
With this fucking, yeah, I don't know about Delta Nine,
but I think Chris Cabin's got a United Tent.
I don't remember leaving the theater once the movie was finished
or picking up my phone from the Apple Store after.
I don't even know how I ended up alive the next morning
because, dear Lord, I greened out and then some.
After Zootopia came out on DVD,
I watched it with my nieces and nephews.
did you share
share some squares
I honestly couldn't remember
the single part of the film
to save
for the sloths
at the DMV
which probably you remember
because it was on the
fucking previews
non-stop
I remember that
I could fucking recite that scene
and I didn't see the movie
read the next sentence
and I think I only remember
that because that's the point over
the previews
all right all right
hey hey hey hey you don't know
I might be on some deltas
or some CD
WDs or WMDs or whatever the fuck you call.
It might be right in high on a DMV right now.
I have learned my lesson and my boyfriend and I now have a rule with tall glasses of water.
If I say I can totally handle that, all he has to do is remind me of Zootopia.
And I remember that, no, I cannot in fact handle it.
You guys rock.
Thank you for every single one of the laughs, Jessica.
Well, thank you for listening, Jessica.
and thank you for telling us your story
about how you do
apparently somehow legal drugs during cartoons.
So I think we all got one for here.
I'll preface this story
that all of these stories take place in Colorado.
That's correct.
So back when Chris and I were living
in a story of Queens.
Colorado.
Yeah, a story of Queens, Colorado.
I had just moved in with him and Eric.
I had summer Fridays and Chris was Chris,
So Chris was hanging out.
And I was like, yo man, could you grab me, I'll give you like a hundred bucks, just get me $100 worth of tall glasses of water.
He's like, yeah, man, no worries.
He comes back and he's like, yeah, actually I got like $60 of tall glasses of water and then $40 worth of mushroom candies.
And I'm like, I don't know what these are.
And he's like, oh, no, I've had them before.
They're just like weed.
It's totally fine.
It's regular.
Don't worry about it.
So I sit down with him, I pop one, and immediately I'm like, oh, these are just fucking mushrooms.
Like, I'm just now surprisingly on mushrooms.
I said they were mushroom candies.
And you were surprised that they were mushroom.
But you were like, oh, it's just totally regular man.
And now we had an overzealous landlord that was still working on the apartment that just kind of barged in.
We're watching Renan Stimpy.
Your pupils are gone.
Yeah, our eyes are as big as the fucking sun
And sure enough, this guy is just like, hey man, I just got to check something like, what?
What's going on?
Yeah, that was a rough day.
I luckily, I do, yeah, I really enjoy the come.
I don't like that thing, but I really enjoy the come down.
It's a nice feeling.
I think they're both brilliant, but I see what you're saying.
Sure.
And also being surprised by that.
No, you know, by Chris Cabin.
Also, at one time when Chris and I saw Sucker Punch, he was like,
Oh, yeah, take a brownie. It's totally fine. We had it.
I went to work the next day, and I'm like, am I, no, I'm still, still high.
Okay, cool. All right, I'm at work now. It's been 13 hours. I've seen the film Suckerberg.
You were texting me a lot that day. I sure was. Chris, am I alive? Send. Did we see Sucker Punch?
Could it have possibly been that bad?
Oh, one time it was, it was Eric's birthday, and Chris Cabin decided he was
gonna do some culinary, confectionary, something or other.
We're watching the movie, I believe it was called The Car with James Brolin,
about a car that's possessed by the devil.
And it was like, oh, these cupcakes are delicious.
Oh, no.
You know, like, go and do a couple of them, you know what I mean?
But then like, you were in Colorado at the time.
I was in Colorado.
Of course, wherever we mentioned a tall glass of water, we're in Colorado.
Yeah, we travel a lot there.
And so, you know, we're sitting there, and it's Eric's birthday,
and we're so jubilant that Eric Siska has lived to see another year go by.
And then it was always a surprise, isn't it?
I feel some other things are passing around as this is happening and whatnot.
And so then it's like, oh, man, like now it's time to go to the large public space beer garden.
That's your mistake.
Where the party's really going to start.
And so we're sitting there in this Astoria, Queens, Colorado beer garden.
And I'm sitting there, and I'm just, I'm looking through this fucking table.
I'm looking at, like, the rings of wood.
know how old this
fucking tree was
that made this table
going through
the whole thing
and I realize
I can't stand
up and at one point
Eric comes over
and he just says
hey man are you having
a good time at my party
and I got this huge
like stine of beer
in my hand
and I just say
well I'm so glad
that you came over
and asked me
because I don't think
I can stand up
to come over to you
and he just leans over
and goes I have no idea
how I'm walking
right now
and that was it
and then I went home
about 20 minutes
after that.
Yeah, you have to.
Eric,
do you have one about me?
Because I have one
that I think I've been
holding back on.
Oh, Chris Cabin.
Please take the floor.
Chris Cabin opening the vault.
If you have one involved in me
or somebody else.
I think everyone knows the story.
It's a story,
you know, it's like,
Chris Cabin gives you something.
You take it.
And then you watch the movie,
like Steve was saying,
and also in this letter,
we just read you,
you feel existential.
existential dread
I guess
It's just like
That was
That's
I'm not a horse
And
Yeah
Eventually it fades
So you sure
I mean
That's been at least twice
You think you'd learn
Yeah
I don't remember a lot of my time
In a story of Queens
Colorado I'll be completely honest with you
That was two years in my life
Wait so what is this vault story
Wait no but you know what the story is
Oh
Oh yes
Oh, he's going to tell it, tell it.
It's good.
So me and Andrew, when we were in high school, this is like when we met essentially was, we started a cinema club in our high school.
Sure.
That's what you do.
A couple of studio students.
Quite a lot of people signed up for this thing.
Oh, it was surprisingly popular.
So we're going to have our first meeting.
And we're like, okay, so right after school, we meet like, what, like 3.30 or something like that.
Sure.

Like, it just tasted different.
And he's like, yeah, and like, it's like ash at this point.
And he's like, yeah, it's chronic.
Oh, man, you can't surprisingly smoke chronic.
What is chronic for the people that are uninitiated?
It's dusted with, uh, at the time.
I mean, you can dust it with anything, but like...
Traditionally cocaine.
Yeah, usually cocaine.
I'm pretty sure it was not cocaine.
It's not a little expensive, a little too rich for your blood.
But it was probably something worse than cocaine.
If I can't broken up cough drops.
And this is why the government's got to get involved, ladies and gentlemen.
Yes, this is, because I'm dead.
But it goes the whole time.

He's in our laptop.

to... It's the knowledge.
The knowledge actually hurts, yeah.
Harts it. And like, I'm walking to

I am sweating everywhere.
My feet are sweating.
My knees are sweating.
My ass is sweating.
Everything is sweating.
More than usual. And I am just like...
It's like a fucking Lumet movie.
I'm at the table, like, wiping my brow.
Andrew's looking at me, like, are you okay?
I thought he was going to have diarrhea.
You didn't know what was going on with that Sunday, man.
I didn't know. I had no idea. It wasn't there.
I didn't know he's in a situation.
Huh.
Did not sleep that night.
Did you, how was your performance at the meeting?
Did you take minutes?
A lot of mumbling.
Uh-huh.
He wasn't very productive.
No.
No.
Well, see, so Jessica, everybody makes mistakes.
At least you're in the land of the golden sun.

because we're in Colorado.
Yeah, all right.
