We're doing it. I'm wearing a hockey jersey because I didn't bring a change of clothes.
But you look great. Quince, baby. I love quince. I love free shit.
Free shit is a giant kitty litter the size of a mini fridge over there.
I'm taking one. I don't even have a cat. I love free shit. Give it to the girlfriend.
Yeah. She'll shit in a box. Yeah.
We're up to the races, baby. Well, it does suck that women have to, my wife has to hover everywhere.
That's got to be a horrible life.
To piss because we'll be like on a Amtrak and the toilet looks like a fucking train spotting.
Yeah.
And she has to hover.
We got a hold, though.
On a train, you got to do this shit.
That's true.
You got to do the kind of...
But they're doing glute workouts.
We're doing abs.
I'm getting abs in here.
I'm doing this.
You ever peed on a crazy bus?
Oh, I puked on a crazy bus.
Really?
You never did that back in the day when we were young comics pounding it?
I'm not a puker.
Oh, did I wake up hungover sometimes?
Like, oh, I'm fucked.
Oh, man.
On my knees and a fucking bus.
Shaking.
Bult bus, mega bus, fun-wong.
Chinatown bus.
Done them all, yeah.
The fucking double-decker.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, people fighting over seats.
The Wi-Fi never worked.
They play a shitty movie.
Wi-Fi.
What a scam.
I know.
What did you do, complain to the driver?
Right.
He's fucking drunk.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sean Murphy had a great bit.
He was like, I'm on a bolt bus and somebody got hurt.
And they goes, is there a doctor on the bus?
He's like, this bus was $8.
I know.
Like, who's the doctor?
Oh, guy.
You don't want that doctor.
No, no.
Yeah, I did, God, I remember I was eating a subway sandwich on a bus, and I was like,
I'm like, not everything in my life to be related to public transit here.
This is fucking low.
Right, right.
Ooh, a hoagie on a bus is tough.
It's a bad look.
A pedophile hoagy.
Yeah.
One time I got on a bus, and there was one, everybody was jammed in.
There was one, there were two seats open.
And I was like, oh, my God, two seats open.
It's my lucky day.
And I sat down, and everybody's like murmuring.
This guy's sitting there.
I can't believe.
I'm what kind of?
And this giant black lady gets on and she's like, what the fuck is my seat?
And she flipped out.
She chewed me out.
And I was like, there's two seats.
And she was like, I want the whole row.
Fuck you.
I want the whole road.
And she was so scary.
I was like, okay, okay.
And then the whole time she was like, I can't believe that motherfucker
I tried to sit in my seat bed.
And I was like, Jesus Christ.
It's crazy.
But yeah, that bolt bus is wild.
People shy away from confrontation on the train.
On the bus, they'll fucking let it rip.
Oh, yeah.
It's the Waffle House of the Road.
Yeah.
Yes, the Waffle House.
That's true.
Hey.
Bodega Cat, cheers.
Thank you, peers.
After good whiskey.
Yeah, man.
Bus is bad.
You're doing bus.
You're in trouble.
Yeah, but you know what you get home,
doing it to D.C. or Baltimore, you're like, all right,
this is easy at least.
The efficiency was nice.
That's true.
And it brings you to the city.
Yeah.
Right into 34th Street.
But I'm waiting there.
He'd have like 60.
It looked like a breadline.
Everyone's got their super.
case.
Yeah, what is this, Oliver Twist?
Yeah, I know.
I'd be on the bus and you take that seat and it's always a rescue.
You're like, do I sit with the person?
Right.
Do I take my own seat and wait for which crazy approaches?
That's true.
It's a roll of the dice.
That is true.
There was always one guy eating a subway sandwich and there was always one guy playing a casino game on full volume.
I was always happy to see a Quiznos.
Little things you look forward to in that situation.
A Quiznos, I think, hit.
I never did Quiznos.
Quisnos, Peters.
Can I get a...
Is that just...
Is it just a subway that's toasted?
You don't like it?
I like it.
I like it.
I'm a big Quiznos guy.
I never went in there.
It was too highfalutin for me.
Highfalutin.
That was about my pay grade.
Did you like the ads in the 90s?
What were the 90s?
I don't remember the ads.
What was it rats?
These things.
What the fuck?
I've never seen this in my entire life.
They really broke the bank on this one, huh?
They didn't bring Don Draper in for this commercial, did they?
Is this a Nolan?
picture? Good Lord.
You brought in rodents to sing about your...
I mean, this is not a good move.
Wow, no. It's just a bad Photoshop shit.
There's a real ad-a-N-U-N-A-No-W-W-A-N-W-Way.
Wow, well, they got us talking about it 38 years later, so I guess it worked.
That is crazy.
That was wild.
Blimpy was the saddest.
Oh, Blimpy!
Forgot about Blimpy.
Did Blimpy?
Did they go under?
I haven't seen a Blimpie in 10 years.
What?
They're still around, I guess.
Blimpie's like Roy Rogers.
Or one of those.
We can see them regionally.
I guess so.
Speaking of regional, what's up with In-N-N-A-O?
What's the beef?
They got a real beef against the...
I think they're anti-Semitic.
Do we need it?
Well, I'm just saying it's the principle.
They won't come to the east.
Yeah, we're good.
All right.
I'll say this.
I think that's overrated.
I agree.
I agree with that.
Those burgers are fucking...
They're like this.
It's like a fucking...
It's like a CD.
They're the thinnest fucking patties I've ever seen in my life.
And those fries stink.
The fries are atrocious.
I'll give you this.
The animal style is good.
And I like the shakes.
Yeah.
And the prices are good.
Yeah.
No, I just,
there's such fucking thin burgers.
Thin burger.
And I like the protein with the lettuce,
but they got lines around the block for these.
They have like guys on,
looks like the fucking airport where they got guys with the wands bringing you in.
There's always a line around the block.
It's like a sneaker drop every day.
It's fucking these lines.
I know.
But I do think it's all right.
It's just,
what is it?
don't like New York.
Who cares?
I mean, I think shake shacks better.
Way better.
Way better burger.
They got beer there.
Yeah.
What's your favorite fast food burger?
I'm a Wendy's cunt.
Wendy's is good.
I like Wendy's.
That's tough.
Chick-fil-A is solid, but that's kind of cheating.
Oh, I guess I'm just saying as a recipe.
Oh, yeah.
I like Popeyes.
Love Popeyes.
But that'll kill you.
If we're just doing fast food, but yeah, burger?
I don't know.
Yeah.
Fast food burger.
Shake Shack.
If I go McDonald's, I get like the nuggets.
I don't really get a burger.
Five guys is pretty good.
I've never had five guys.
It's a little overpriced.
Yeah, that's what I've heard.
It's a little much.
Yeah, that in and out, do you see that in and out shooting?
Really?
Yeah, three people got killed.
And a guy came in with a gun and stopped the guy.
So another guy with a gun saved the day.
In California?
Yeah, no, it was in Idaho.
Mm.
In and out shooting.
Gunman killed three people, injured seven, started shooting people in the line.
Well, that line doesn't move.
Look at that.
Look, they're all freaking out.
Jeez, that's awful.
That's horrifying.
Ah, these poor people making minimum wage.
Why are they showing this video?
We're trying to make them look like cowards.
It's the fucking shooting.
What do you expect them to do?
I agree.
I'd be doing the same thing.
Oh, that guy's got a rifle.
I know he had a rifle.
And someone shot, he got him?
Some guy shows up on a horse and shoots back.
I guess those are the cops.
Where's the horse guy?
I forgot his name, Santine, Santino, something like that.
But he shows up and starts shooting back and the guy shoots himself.
Damn.
Crazy.
As long as they end up dead.
Oh, yeah.
Animal style.
I covered him in the sauce?
They should have put him in the friar.
Oh, what a piece of shit.
Damn, crazy.
I swear somebody showed up on a horse.
I don't know where I heard that.
Give it a goog.
And you return fire.
All right, maybe we don't want them out here in New York.
We don't need another shooting.
You don't eat much fast food, though, do you?
No, not at all, but I do love a good shake.
That's your weakness.
I love a milkshake.
What flavor?
Chocolate all day.
Really?
I'm vanilla.
Vanilla's good.
All right, I'll do a swirl.
The swirl's nice.
Racial harmony?
A little biracial, yeah.
Swirl, I think, is better as a term than...
The mulatto?
Mixed, mulatto.
A lotto, I think is offensive.
I think it is.
Yeah.
It's like Twink.
You're not supposed to say it anymore.
Twink is out?
I think it's out.
Oh, I love Twink.
Oh, they're out, Mark.
And I love it every minute of it.
Yeah, mulatto sounds like an Italian dessert.
Oh, it's not out, apparently.
No, twink is in.
All right.
Well, how about mulatto's out?
Milano's out.
But don't that sound like a kind of like an Italian coffee?
It's a cookie.
A cookie.
Oh, it's a cookie.
Milano.
Those were fancy cookies.
And they're black and white.
My wife says that I can't say the wigger.
Wigger is out.
I've heard that's out.
Okay.
I still say it.
You know what?
Here's a problem is, in terms of efficiency, what's a better word?
Of course.
You got to give me a replacement.
If we're getting rid of that word, which it's fine, you've got to throw in another one that can capture
what that person is in one word.
Good point.
But people go, hey, it's just one letter off, man.
But so is bigger.
True.
And digger.
Mm.
Digger.
You're getting close.
Yeah.
Just digger, please.
I'm just saying.
Yeah.
It's a lot of letters.
What was that now?
Wankster.
Wankster.
That's a, it's a fitty song.
Like gangster?
Yeah.
Hmm.
But that's like a whack.
That's like a not a real gangster.
That's not what that means.
Oh, interesting.
Okay.
Oh, here we go.
Wigger synonyms.
Okay, Wig, get the hell out of here.
Wigs, that's just...
These are very uncreative.
Political term.
White boy, that works.
Okay.
That's pretty demeaning to call a white guy who's acting black.
He's going, shut up, white boy.
That's true.
That's pretty good.
That's good.
But we're white boys.
I know.
So we're not Wiggers.
I know.
Poser, appropriator.
Appropriator.
But that sounds too serious.
Yeah, copycat? Who wrote this? An eight-year-old? Copycat. All right. You're ingenuine.
Impersonator. Come on. Impersonator.
I've used Wigger-round black people. They don't seem to budge. So that's the test. They should be the judge and the jury.
Maybe just the judge. I don't know. I've just heard judge and jury.
Yeah
You know, wiggers are kind of few and far between
When I was kid they were everywhere
Everybody was a wigger
It was like normal to be a wigger
Yeah, in high school
I think my age wigger was really
Eminem really
He made people feel comfortable
Completely he's the ultimate wig
Yeah
But I'm sure he doesn't love that
He had a different life than a lot of these kids impersonating him
That's true
That's true
Yeah he grew up
I got a shout out in a rap song
Oh!
Oh, perfect segue.
Sariana Grande.
Zariana Grande.
Zara faced an inspected deck, a Wu-Tang album, dude.
Wow.
I can't believe it.
So many people sent me this shit.
Wow, that's incredible.
What they're named here, rhyme you with?
You might be drunk like Sam Boreal.
Yeah, that's great in the pocket of shout out.
That's huge.
You might be drunk like San Marelle.
That's great.
Wow.
Very cool.
That is cool.
They had a picture of you.
I love it.
Salekus took that picture.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Whoa.
That is really, you made it.
That was fucking nice.
I mean, Shane Gillis was in an M&M video.
That's bigger.
No, but they didn't write about him.
He's not memorialized.
Wasn't Shane also in a, fuck, who's the other guy?
Drake.
Drake.
Yeah, true.
All right.
He's got you on two videos.
Shane's big time.
I'm shocked a rapper hasn't done a Gillis.
What you're talking about, Willis?
You know my shit, I drink like Shane Gillis.
I guess Morel rhymes with a lot of stuff.
Maril, fulfill.
Norman?
Eh.
You got to know what Mormon?
Yeah, I got nothing to rhyme with me.
Morel, you can get some stuff in there.
Yeah, that is cool.
Bell, unwell, smell.
Yeah.
I can't tell.
I don't know.
There's stuff.
You could do it.
Sam, for sure.
There's a lot of stuff there.
Mark?
There you got a lot of Mark.
Yeah.
The Mark is an insult in the rap world.
He's a Mark.
You're a Mark like Norman.
Hey, that's pretty good.
I'll take it.
Something like there.
Yeah.
Boy, rappers, in a song.
That is really cool.
That is pretty cool.
Did you show the lady?
I did.
She liked it.
Oh, that's fun.
Can't really show your mom.
Yeah, she wouldn't think it's cool.
She says you're drunk?
Right.
Two things she doesn't think it's cool.
rap and someone calling her son an alcoholic.
Is she not a fan of the sauce?
Oh, is your mom?
She drinks wine all the time.
My mom does not like booze.
And she also had to pick me up from my last endoscopy because you need someone to pick
you up.
And, you know, not a lot of people live in my neighborhood.
Liz from the cellar did the last one.
But once you get your second endoscopy for stomach lining damage, yeah, and the doctor's
like, yeah, maybe chill with the alcohol.
Yeah, she does not care for it.
Damn.
She doesn't drink at all.
My mom is thin and small, I guess.
She's a lightweight, so she, a drink and she's drunk.
Right, right.
But also, yeah, she was never, it was never really her thing.
Do you dad drink?
He used to.
He's cut back with age because he's just like, it's so bad for you.
But he used to be a big beer guy.
Yeah.
I was never that in a beer.
Every once in a while I like a beer, like a long day.
just have like a fucking nice
like I have them in my fridge
just for those same but I also like
my go to is like I like
the hard stuff oh man yeah me too
I prefer the hard stuff but my dad
I think I've talked about this
he would do schlitz pull up a schlitz
is some nasty shit
nasty shit is it I'm pretty
schlitz not malt liquor I thought it was a shitty
like Pilsner
it's like a like a Paps or something
but he would drink
schlitz hot
can on the right that see that logo on the right on the side is it considered malt liquor now that's what
the can looked like and he would drink it hot out of the box he would just put a box on the floor and take
one out and drink them that's what it looked like i guess it's just beer that was it right there
that looks like some wife beating beer right there that's a guy who hits his wife it does look like
it would overreact undercooked food for sure yeah dinner ready is pizza what the hell the fucking
what do you call this shit yeah uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
So yeah, he drank that shit hot and...
Hot beer is fucking disgusting.
It's horrifying and it's a shitty beer on top of it.
And one day, I remember this.
My dad had like some people over in the backyard when I was eight, seven.
And I go, what is that you're drinking?
He's like, it's beer.
And I go, can I try it?
He goes, you're not going to like it.
And I go, come on, let me try it.
And he poured some of my mouth.
And I was like, oh, you guys are crazy.
How do you drink this shit?
And they all laughed.
He's like, let me tell you about pussy, too.
No, I mean, that's the thing, though.
When you're young, it tastes nasty, but there's something about it when you get older.
You're like, why does that hit so well?
Especially a cold one after a long day?
I think because it's not sweet.
It's almost like food.
It's hard to explain.
I love the versatility of like a whiskey where you can have it warm in the winter.
You could have it cold in the summer.
Like, there's something about that.
Totally.
There's so much shit you could do with it.
You could dress it up.
Yes, yes.
If it were a wife, it could keep changing.
There's ways to keep it full.
Fresh.
That's true.
Beer to me is like it's cold.
That's it.
I guess you get the hoppiness, whatever, there's different types.
But I never, it was never in IPAs really.
I would like simple shit like a yingling or like a mellow light or something.
Also, whiskey has an aroma.
It's like, it hits you and it's warm and it's warm.
It's so much to it.
You smell it.
The winter.
The way it whiskey hits in the winter.
Yeah.
It's something else.
And just the look of a whiskey bottle, you see it.
And you're like, inside of that, that's a magical elixir.
This could make you fun, fuck a fat chick, wreck a car, fight a cop.
It's just liquid.
And good stuff too.
And good stuff.
And make good decisions as well.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Start a conversation.
Start a whiskey company.
This scene in Shawshank made me want to go to prison and drink beer.
Oh, that's see.
He's drinking a bottle on the sun on the roof.
Oh, nothing better.
Bucket of beers is really something special.
Although I kind of have a problem with bucket of beers now after bombing for years on the road.
I know. I have a bad association with it.
You know, the ice falling a little bit and you're just silent in the room.
Also, blenders.
So I was at the bank.
Oh, my God damn it.
I remember being like, could you put it like not in the same room as the stage?
I know.
It's like, we asked for so little.
I'm like, just not fucking.
I get that you got to serve margaritas, but just maybe in a place where I can't hear it.
How about this one?
You're like, come on.
You're killing me right at the pause.
I think I never like blended drinks
And I think after that shit
I was like I'm never like just as a part of a
To make a point I'll never drink them
Yeah 100%
But margaritas, I thought margaritas are so fucking overrated
I know
I'm on the rocks
They're crowd pleasers
I get it
It's like it's fine
But I never got pumped for a margarita
Now and you lose respect for any man
With a blended drink
Like with a frozen
Like this shit
You know you see these guys with that
You're like come on grow up
You put a cherry in your drink
It better be fucking brown liquor
It better be an old-fashioned
Yeah, no, you do it like, I'm in a hand
And you're like, all right, you earned it
Right, right
You earn that cherry
Yeah, that's true
That's true
Otherwise, you're drinking a Sunday
I'm sorry
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Waggett
I mean, I definitely
I definitely drank
the fruity shit
When I was in a pain,
you shit
Like those funny bones
starting out
And you're featuring
You're like, well, I drink for free
So let me try all the wacky shit
Yeah
What is that?
Whipped vanilla
Vodka?
Right,
me have that with a fucking orange juice and have a creamicle.
Right.
And you're shit-faced.
And you're like, for some reason, I feel like this isn't advancing my career.
But.
Same with me.
When I, growing up in New Orleans, dafferies are everywhere.
Everything's got to be a fucking daughery.
A hurricane.
Hurricane.
All those blended drinks.
So you drink them at like 13 because it was a great transition into drinking.
Totally.
Because it was like a slushy.
Oh, it's literally getting kids on board.
Completely.
It's like when Alf was on the cigarette.
Oh, no, Joe Campbell.
I always thought it was Alf.
But you see like a cartoon character.
Yeah.
Like a bodega cat.
An adorable little fluffy.
Yes, what could go wrong?
But, uh, oh shit, the Flintstones did commercials?
No way.
For smoking?
By the way, you never see it.
When does cigarette commercials go out?
Was that in the 80s?
I think they became a law against it.
There must have been.
Yeah.
I used to have them all the time.
Holy shit.
Wow, that is mixed messaging right there.
I hate to see them work so hard.
Yeah.
Me too.
Let's go around back where we can't see them.
See, we ought to do something, Fred.
Okay?
How's about taking a nap?
Hey, they got a bitter right here.
Let's take a Winston break.
That's it.
Wow.
The one spilt of cigarette that delivers flavor 20 times a pack.
Winston's got that filter blend.
Yeah, Fred.
While the women are working.
Yeah, great.
Hey, Fred, what do you say we fuck some prostitutes while we're back here, too?
What do you think?
Also, I never realized it with the Flintstones.
I watched this as a kid.
It's about two guys with five o'clock shadows who are married and hate their day job.
And yet I was like, oh, this is a cool show.
It's for kids.
It has nothing to do with children.
Yeah.
It's just two guys who work in a factory.
It was just animated.
It was just animated.
Same with the Jetsons.
They're all just like fucking miserable.
It's basically the honeymooners or like my three sons cartoon.
But definitely he like, Fred, he sounded like your grandpa.
Oh, yeah.
That's how they get that familiarity.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, my grandfather was in Korea.
No shit.
And one time, he was like, you know, tough guy, stoic, scary guy.
And one time when I was probably like 14, he goes,
what do you think about the foreign policy going on in, you know, Japan?
And I was like, I don't follow.
And, you know, it was like a skateboarder with torn jeans on.
And I was like, I don't follow you.
I don't care.
I don't read the paper.
He goes, you know, son, one day you're going to have to grow up.
Whoa.
And I was like, yeah.
Here, have a Winston.
Yeah.
Damn, dude.
Still haven't grown up, so suck it.
It was Cleveland.
Cleveland?
Cleveland?
Cleveland?
Williams.
It was my mom's side.
Cleveland Williams.
What a name.
Cleveland's a man's name.
That is a man.
He was a big, scary dude.
Fuck.
Yeah, Cleveland.
That is.
Those ads back in the day, I remember all those fucking beer commercials, too.
Yeah.
The 90s ones.
Oh, my God.
We've done the twins before.
Oh, that's my favorite one.
And twins.
Man, the 90s had no...
Blood ice.
What is that?
They had no filter in the night.
Look at the tits on that ad.
I mean, they were just going for it.
Yeah.
There was no women in the room to be like,
hey, hey, we got to shut this down.
I remember I was watching Married with Children once,
and my grandmother walked in,
and she was like, I don't know how you watch this filth.
This is misogynistic and all this.
Oh, dude.
The no-ma'am shirts?
No ma'am, yeah.
Yeah, he was miserable.
But he also, dude, the best part of that show is like he's a shoe salesman,
and then he's miserable, his wife doesn't work.
I'm like, you got a pretty nice house.
That's true.
For how fucking, I guess that was just the day of what it was.
You could afford that on that salary.
Yeah, middle class.
Also, the wife was way out of his league, and she always wanted to bang him,
and he was like, ugh, get away for me.
And I'm like...
Even with the wig, I was like, Katie Siegel is pretty hot.
Yeah, exactly.
But, you know, I...
I think it was kind of a tongue-in-cheek version of a, like a throwback.
For sure. I mean, that show's great.
Yeah.
Nobody thought it would work, and it worked.
It's just a lot of zings.
Yeah.
Just him and the neighbor.
They're literally just zinging each other.
It was that kind of like mean-spirited old school.
I've been re-watching all in the family.
Oh, great.
That show's fucking brilliant.
Brilliant show.
It's one of the best shows ever made.
Easily.
Because he can be such a piece of shit.
Norman Lear.
But then by the end of the episode, you're like,
man, he's a good dude.
Lovable.
He finds a way to feel foolish or like, I mean, it's all in that performance, but even, you know what, those debates are brilliant.
They really are.
There's a line in it where he's arguing with Meathead, you know, Rob Reiner, and they're going at it.
And he said, women can't lead.
And Meadhead goes, what are you talking about?
How about Goldaier?
And he goes, oh, the hebes, they want to be governed by the mommy.
You're like, that's a fucking great line.
Wow.
And he would do a lot of interviews where he would shit on the character.
Carol O'Connor. He was like, yeah, he's a retard. He's an idiot. But idiots exist, and we can get
comedy out of it. And it was, it felt real. Like that, like, well, you could disagree, but still
love each other. Like, that was, that was. We could use some of that these days. Yeah, it was pretty,
pretty great. Yeah, yeah. It was, I think it was a British show first, and Lear kind of plucked it
and made it American. Some of those old shows, dude, like taxi, they hit so fucking hard.
Yeah. Those are all the Simpsons writers from the early years.
Whoa, I didn't know that.
Yeah, just heavyweight writers.
Is that James L. Brooks?
He did it, yeah.
Yeah, wow.
Brilliant guy.
Till death, do us part, was the British one.
Yeah, yeah.
I think was the Jefferson's?
That was a spin-off of all in the family.
Okay.
Pretty ahead of his time.
He's doing these crazy political debates, these racial debates, societal, whatever.
And then he brings out two big black shows, good times and Jefferson's.
Crazy.
Yeah, I mean, he just figured out the fucking recipe.
Yeah, he really did.
He was going for changing the game.
He was ahead of his time.
Speaking of changing the game, man, I'm listening to the audiobook of William Friedkin's
audiobook, who, you know, did The French Connection, The Exorcist, and, you know, to live in Dile,
Sorcerer, all these great movies.
He did Sorcercerer?
Yeah, I love that movie.
He bombed so fucking hard.
It opened the same day of Star Wars, I think.
That's right.
But, yeah, Sorcerer is great.
Ironically, that movie bombed.
It's all about nitro glycerin.
Yeah.
Oh, God damn.
So cool.
Roy Shiner.
He's the man.
But yeah, he's talking about getting these movies made and you're like, you know,
we're working on trying to get a movie made.
So it's kind of interesting to me, all this shit that goes wrong.
Even when you think you have the stars aligned and how sometimes it still works.
And, you know, we had a director drop out of our movie.
We're on the one yard line.
We were right there.
We're about this was to shoot in October.
And then the director and, you know, it'll work out.
We're interviewing people who are interested.
So we're meeting with people.
But it's like, oh, shit.
Things just, you think.
you're set. I know. Why do we even say we're going to do this when, you know, we will, but...
Yeah, but it's scary when you haven't even started yet and there's a problem. And then here's the
scary part. We're going to solve this problem and there's going to be a whole other thing in the
future. You don't even... That's why you can't worry because, like, you don't even know what's
going to happen. He's talking about filming that epic chase scene and the French connection, which,
you know, it's on the above ground subway. And he's like, check, okay, can... How fast is the
train going? They say, yeah, 50 to 70 miles an hour. He's like, okay, a car can conceivably go
50 to 70 to keep up with it. So he's like fact-checking for the...
thing. Then, you know, Gene Hackman, didn't want Gene Hackman in the movie, whatever, but
he didn't. He didn't. Wow. He wanted, like, Jimmy Breslin, who's a journalist, who was a cop
hater, so it got a lot of shit. Then he wanted, uh, what's his name? The Dad on Everyone
Loves Raymond. Oh, Peter Boyle? Yeah, he wanted him. Wow. He didn't want to do it. He
played those types of guys already. And Gene Hackman didn't like playing a racist cop. He was like,
I don't like this character. But he's like since admitted, like, it changed his life,
obviously. Sure. They're talking about filming the scene. And, uh,
He has to get the rights from the MTA and they're like, no fucking way.
We're not doing that.
It's going to be dangerous.
And it was dangerous when they shot it.
And he goes, what can I do to get the rights?
And the guy goes, $40,000 and a one-way ticket to Jamaica.
And he goes, why one-way ticket?
He goes, because they're going to fire me when this comes out.
Whoa.
And they did.
And they did.
And the guy just had moved to it.
He's like, I hope he's having a nice life in Jamaica.
Jamaica is so funny.
It's fucking crazy.
Wow.
His stories are wild.
I mean, the book literally opened.
on him saying, yeah, some young, I've made some mistakes in my life.
Some young artists gifted me these two paintings.
I don't know who the fuck he was.
I threw him in the garbage.
Turned out to be Basquiat.
Oh, my God.
They were worth $14 million.
Oh, my God.
He turned down getting like a creative stake with Prince.
Oh, man.
I'm trying to think he's racist.
But, no, I mean, the book's incredible, dude.
Wow.
I'm all over it.
That's my cup of jizz.
Yeah, so that's a wreck.
And then also another movie book wreck.
Jason Ziniman, the comedy guy,
wrote a book called Shock Value
all about horror movies of that time.
So it kind of overlaps.
I think that's what one led me to another, you know?
Oh, interesting, okay.
But it's crazy stories about
the whole chapter's on De Palma,
which you'll fucking love.
Yeah, I do love De Palma.
Okay, I'm in.
I love all those guys.
The Palma finds his fucking,
finds out his father's cheating on his mom.
So he, like, you know how all his movies
are like voyeuristic and like, let me spy on you.
He, like, finds him, he gets the proof,
shows a mom they get divorced. That's incredible. That's insane. Wow.
Holy shit. Crazy shit. That's a movie right there. I know. Kid filming his dad,
stepping out. Wow. Crazy shit. But yeah, well, like this movie's, you know, stressing us out,
obviously. We're dealing with so many ups and downs, meeting people. Like, we're like,
oh, we're sold on this one guy to direct and this other guy. Yeah. But this is kind of part of
the business, that adventure. It's like the offer. We're making the godfather. Oh, we got Al Pacino. He's too
short, fuck him, we want Robert Redford.
He's not even Italian, blah, blah, blah, you know.
Marlon Brando's a pain in the ass.
Yeah, makes you romanticize it, for sure.
Completely. And we're going to be telling these stories in 50 years, or maybe less than 50.
But, you know what I mean?
Guys who die in 14 years.
But, yeah.
Well, I love all that old 70s shit.
Me too, man.
Spielberg, Lucas, De Palma, what's the other guy's name?
Kubrick.
They're all friends.
Scorsese.
Yeah, Scorsese.
They're all friends.
they all hang out. It's like young comics who are like trying to make it, hustling, trying to prove
themselves. I love that shit. That error was sick, man. Oh yeah, they're all on blow.
They're all like down and out. We got to get Schrader on here. I want some Paul Schrader stories.
He did Friedland show. That guy gets everybody. I don't know how he does it. We got to get Schrader.
He got Hunter Biden, too. Tell him. We'll do it. We might be coked up with Paul Schrader. We'll blow lines with him.
Ooh, now we're talking. Yeah, that shit's great. Oh, what are that? Oh, so I'm listening.
is this podcast called Founders.
Ooh, sounds interesting.
It's this crazy guy named Steve Senra or Renra.
David, David, David Senra.
This guy's a nut, but he's like a file cabinet of information.
He reads autobiographies and then tells you all the greatest hits.
That's awesome.
So I listened to the one on Agassi, which got me into the, and then your wreck on Agassiz.
So I'm like, all right, I got the book.
I think it's the greatest sports book ever read in Agassiz.
It's autobiography.
my opinion. But like all the Henry Ford and all these guys are unbelievably interesting in their
stories because you always hear about Steve Jobs with the turtleneck. That might be the best
that my favorite biography ever. Yeah. So he breaks. Walter Isaacson. Yes, but he brings it down. Huh?
I think he teaches the Tulane, Isaacson. Oh, really? I could be wrong. Wow, that's incredible.
But yeah, so he just breaks down the best part. So it's like the highlights of all of them.
But that makes you want to seek out more. Yeah, I listen to the Roger Federer one, but the Christopher
Nolan one. Oh, the Rick Rubin one's a great, too.
Christopher Nolan, I had no idea.
His parents, his mom is British and his dad's American.
They send him to the hardest Catholic school, boarding school in England.
They live in Chicago.
They're like, get out of here.
They put them in the school.
It's like a military school.
He said the school was Darwinian.
Like, if you didn't keep up, you got your ass kicked, they kicked you out.
It was horrible.
And it taught him, that's why the Odyssey was under budget and ahead of schedule.
Damn.
That movie was ahead of scheduled under budget.
That's insane.
Yeah.
But he's like, this school taught me how to do things efficiently, do things quick, and make shit work.
And fucking fascinating.
He said, he's like, Inception.
I thought it when I was 16.
I would lay in bed at my boarding school and think about Inception.
And then he made Inception.
Now everyone's laying in bed scrolling fucking to you page.
It's like there's value in.
Bortem.
Bortem is valuable.
100%. Yeah, he said he would just lay there and think. And he has no cell phone and he doesn't use email or anything. And he just thinks. You have to be so successful or so unsuccessful to live that way. That's true. Because you're so shut off from the world. Like you need to have like eight assistance, which he probably does. Or you just don't. You're just like, how do I get in touch with that guy? You know, like, I can't. And he wants every part of the movie. He's like, I want to work with the costume guy. I want to work with the set guy, the script guy. I'm the director and I work the actors and the location guy. He's all over the movie. He's all over the movie. He's. He's all over the movie.
movie.
Yeah.
And he did Momento.
He played it at Cannes or whatever.
Dead silence after the movie and he was like, I bombed.
Everybody hated it.
And they got like a 10 minute standing ovation.
Whoa.
So then you want to...
Do you feel like everything gets a 10 minutes standing ovation?
It feels like that.
Yeah.
Like, this movie got an 18 minute standing ovation.
Like, that's not even fucking possible.
I know.
Nothing got a 18 minutes standing now.
Six minutes of doing this.
You're like, we're still going.
I've never, I don't think I've ever been in present, in the presence of a
movie getting a standing no.
Is that like a thing?
Why do they do that there?
No, I haven't either.
Is it all like showy?
Is it just to be like...
I think in festivals they'd do it, but maybe clap, but a standing O is crazy.
It's weird.
Yeah.
But that's how they show, you know, whatever.
But he tried to make another movie.
Nobody would buy it.
And then he was like, all right, I guess I'm out of the business.
Soderberg was like, no one's hiring this guy?
So him and George Clooney executive produced it and he got...
Which movie was that?
Whatever the second movie was he made.
Sorry.
Not the following.
No, no.
Huh?
That was the first one.
That's his first one.
Okay, maybe that was the one that played at Sundance and killed it.
So Memento, they did Memento?
So the Memento, he tried to sell it.
Nobody would buy it.
And then they got it made.
Damn.
And then he was full to the moon after that.
Then insomnia.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Imagine that your third movie, you're working with Puccino.
And Robin Williams.
And Rob Williams.
That's a sign like, oh, this guy's got something.
Yeah.
And then Batman Begins was huge.
And Dark Night, of course, the rest is history.
Yeah, wow.
And he did Inception in between the Dark Night and the Dark Night Rises.
That's crazy.
Fascinating life this guy had.
And always tinkering, always working on stuff.
He had a studio.
And then the other wreck is Project Hail Mary.
Woo!
I think the best movie of the year.
Wow.
Okay, I like that.
I love it.
Really?
It got built up so hard to me that it was like, it's good.
It's a good movie.
but it's also like, yeah, no, it was good.
It was a good movie.
I was a little thrown by the alien.
I know it was going to be that much of an alien.
Got a little cutesy for me.
A little cutesy, but I didn't know he could carry a movie.
What are you talking about?
He's like the best.
I had no, I never seen the nice guys?
Yeah, but it's him and Russell Crow and it's a good script.
This is him alone carrying it.
He's in a lot of stuff.
Pull up his IMDB.
He's, he's had a guy.
Drive, he carried.
Drive, yeah, La La Land.
He's great in.
He also stole the show in Barbie, by the way.
He did.
Two straight guys being like, you know what's good about Barbie?
The man.
He was the best.
He was.
Well, he was the comedic relief.
You know, also, crazy stupid love is a slept-on rom-com.
That's true.
I don't usually like rom-coms.
You've got to be, it's like a horror mood to me.
It's got to be so good for me to like it.
Right, right.
But, like, that's one that you're like, yeah, that's undeniable.
Yeah.
And it's actually funny.
Yeah, what, that, Annie Hall, there's not a lot.
Harry Met Sally.
Harry Met Sally is a bang.
But Annie Hall is cynical.
True.
They don't end up together.
True.
High fidelity, cynical.
Yeah.
I like the ones with some fucking cynicism.
And they both break the fourth wall.
True.
No, Gosling's great, man.
Get him on here.
Ugh.
That's a weird in here.
That's a weird in here.
You seem to think we can get Brad Pitt, which I don't believe.
That's crazy.
He's back on the sauce, which does work in our favor.
I was trying to think of the, what's the funny tweet here?
What's the tweet?
It's like, TMZ.
Brad Pitt's drinking again.
It has that funny photo of him with crazy sunglasses on.
And I couldn't get it.
I put bullet train, like bullet dry.
No one liked it.
It had to be explained to me.
Yeah.
But if I saw the spelling, I would have gotten it.
Ah, okay.
Somebody wrote a, oh, now we're going to hear what he really thinks about the Jews or something, and it went crazy viral.
It's not that good.
That's what I said, but it blew up.
Hey, hey, folks.
I am in Nashville in a hotel room, and I'm feeling good because I took my Z biotics.

Hey, hey, folks, what's shaking Mars man?
As you get older, you start noticing that things that used to be easy
suddenly take more effort.
Ain't that the truant?
You're exhausted during the day, but then you can't fall asleep at night.
You're more irritable, less motivated, and mentally drained, even when you feel like you're doing everything right.
Sing it, sister.
One thing that can connect all of those problems is cortisol.
Cortisol is the body stress hormone.
It's supposed to rise when you're under pressure.
And then come back down.
But work, screens, deadlines, and financial stress can keep it elevated.
That's why I started taking Mars Man.
What I like about Mars Man, it doesn't feel like a stimulant or a sudden jolt from a cup of coffee.
I've noticed a steadier sense of energy and drive throughout the day and I feel more balanced and less worn.
Less worn down by everything going on around me.

Hey, hey, ho! Preparing for a new baby means getting ready for sleepless nights, diaper changes,
constant cleanup, and a completely different daily routine. If you also have a cat,
the last thing you want to worry about is the state of the litter box. Ain't that the truth?
The whisker, litter, robot automatically cycles after every use, so you're not handling waste or scooping.
every day. It takes one repetitive chore off the list and gives everyone in the house more time to
focus on the growing family. I got a baby on the way and a giant cat the size of a wildebeest.

The Whisker app notifies you when a clean cycle is complete, shows litter and waste drawer levels,
and lets you know when the unit needs attention.

Checking that poop.
But look at that photo.
I mean, it looks like a strip club owner or something.
club? No, I don't know.
How do you... Oh, like flight of beers.
I don't know. I got nothing. What do you want? You just threw it out there.
That's a tough one.
Huh, something. I tell you, there was something in this
cup. Sorry.
But yeah, yeah. Brad's drinking again. So come on in, BP.
That'd be a fun app. I know you got a new movie.
What's his new movie? Oh, is it the fucking Tarantino one?
Yeah, Cliff Booth.
Tarantino played that well, dude.
What do you mean? Well, he's like, if it,
If it's shitty, no one's going to blame him because he just wrote it.
Oh, right.
Because Fincher is directing it.
Right, right.
And if it's amazing, he's like, I wrote it.
He nailed, it's like true romance.
That's a good point.
He also wrote Natural Born Killers, which I didn't love.
But he hated it, too.
He got ahead of that one.
Oh, okay.
He was like, they ruined it.
Oh, all right.
True romance I fucking love.
That's a fun movie.
Chris Penn's great.
Yeah, he is.
He's always great.
RIP.
RIP.
He's in that close range.
I got to, so you told me,
I've always almost watched at close range.
It's heavy.
Because it's one of those that always gets brought up as like a neo-noir.
Yeah.
But yeah, I got to watch.
It's Sean Penn and-
And Walkins is dead.
And it's like a life of crime and all this shit.
And it's a true story.
But the cool thing about it is it's Walkin as a great actor, not Walking being Walking.
You know how Al Pacino became like, one set of a woman hit, he was like, who-ah!
He became a black jazz musician?
Yeah, she's got a great ass.
You know, same with Walking.
Walking's like, oh, the watch was in my ass.
I'm the only comedian who can't do a walkin.
I know.
But this is Walking just as an amazing actor.
He plays like a rural redneck in rural Pennsylvania, and it's incredible.
Damn.
I mean, you are in Pennsylvania.
You're like walking down train tracks with Corn Husk next to you.
Logan?
Something like that.
Hogan?
Something.
I can't remember.
I've heard it's good.
It's good, but it's, and Sean Pets.
Man, is unbelievable.
Boy, that guy can act.
He brings the fucking heat, dude.
Does he bring the heat?
Always.
But it's very rebel out of causey, like, Jesus Christ, that guy is a catcher's bit.
I mean, that is, he is aging like milk.
What the fuck of it happened?
Harvey Milk.
Look at that.
Harvey Milk looks better today than Sean Penn.
I know.
He's like an old couch.
That is crazy.
What's the smoking, maybe?
Yeah, for sure.
He just won't give it up.
No, no.
Also, he's hanging out with the cartel.
He's in Katrina with.
the shotgun and a canoe.
He lives hard.
He lives hard.
He was on the front lines of Ukraine the day the war fucking broke.
He was like, I'll check it out.
We're like, you want to make a movie maybe instead?
Yeah, he's good.
Wow, let's see the dating history on Penn when you're done there.
I don't know.
He didn't Charlize Darren?
That's a biggie.
Whoa!
Olga croca-cocococola.
You know they're hot models when you can't pronounce their names.
Oh, yeah.
Minka.
Kelly, good golly.
Calua Rivera, Garcel.
Wow, Garcel Bovay.
He didn't know that day with Johansen.
Uh-oh.
We got to do a fact check on that.
Let me call Colin.
Joe's, wow, Julia Robb.
Jewel.
Madonna.
This is.
A lot of one names.
Yeah.
Sting.
Holy shit.
He really.
Paul.
Sting.
Peggy Trentiti.
Bridget Nielsen.
I hope that was before Flava.
He got lost in that thing.
for sure he's a short fella
she liked them little she did
I guess some women like a short king
he looks a munchkin
yeah
I think you had a
there's a pub in there
there's a whole bunch of people there's good man yeah
I got a good movie wreck for you
La Pesine
French movie
Hey man when there's these criteria on sales
Every once in a while I'm like yeah fuck it
That looks like a good looking movie
I want to buy the DVD because it looks better
And I just bought it
P scene with a P
Yeah
It's the swimming pool.
Yeah.
It was remade in American.
I think it sucked.
P.I.
This one's with Elaine Dilan, the old French hunk.
Oh, he's a handsome dude.
And Romy Schneider, who is a fucking fox.
Oh, Jane Birkin's, like, super young in this.
And it's the vibe.
You don't know exactly how everyone knows each other.
It's this attractive couple by the pool, making out.
They're fooling around.
You're like, what's their story?
She says her friends coming to visit them, who they both know.
and you don't know how they know them.
But then the friend has a weird competitive thing
with Elaine Dulan and he has a weird flirtation with her.
And they have a weird thing where they get turned on
when they make each other jealous.
You could tell it's an unhealthy relationship.
The friend brings his daughter.
And then, you know, she's trying to make him jealous
with flirting with a friend.
And he tries to make her jealous by flirting with a daughter.
And it turns into a fucking mess.
Whoa.
And it builds slowly, but it gets really fucked up.
And it's, I think it's a beautiful-looking movie.
It's in a French Riviera, I think.
So it looks insane.
Like the colors are beautiful.
It's like this affluent lifestyle.
It looks cool.
But then it's also like...
95%.
It's got a little Mr. Ripley in it.
There's a little darkness to it, which I dig.
Wow.
This is a great premise.
Yeah, it's worth a watch.
Okay.
69.
Yeah.
All right.
That's very kind of a Woody Allen, but a sexy Woody Allen.
Yeah, totally.
Interesting.
It's kind of got that vibe.
Less dialogue for sure.
Oh, really?
Well, like, every word kind of, there's a lot of weird things that happen.
Okay.
It's a little more, like, uncomfortable, I think.
Yeah.
I like movies like that.
Yeah, there's that, there's that infidelity type vibe, too, but, uh.
It's kind of like sexy beast.
There's not a ton of dialogue, but you feel everything.
Totally, and it looks so fucking cool.
Who directed that?
Because that was an interesting look.
Oh, Ray Winstone is underrated.
Yeah, Jonathan Glazer.
What else did he do?
Okay.
I love that we're talking to, we were talking to director, and he was getting mad at us.
He's listening to this, and he's like, you guys don't know the name.
I'm yelling at it into the fucking phone.
Well, one of the guys we're looking at to direct our movie brought up Ray Winstone.
You know, is it Roger Corman?
Yeah.
He was a producer, right?
Yeah, he was friends with Nicholson.
Yeah.
So he would stand on the movie set and throw lines out.
And him and Nicholson were buddies, so he would go to every Nicholson movie and just throw lines out.
So he went to the departed to hang out.
And there's a scene where Ray Winstone shoots a lady.
And Corman goes, you know what you should say when you shoot her, say she fell funny.
That was him?
And he goes, why would I say that?
And he goes, because it shows how often you kill people that if someone falls weird, you have to acknowledge it.
That's good.
Yeah.
I thought he just came up with that in his own.
That's fucking great.
No, there's the, scroll down.
Scroll down.
That's the Matt David story where he tells it.
Right, right.
Oh, yeah, we just fucking watched this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what Ruben said.
Yeah.
Good stuff.
Good stuff.
I love the movie knowledge.
Boy, how about you got a hint to Matt Damon.
The guy wrote a fucking script, came out of nowhere, and now he's in the Odyssey.
Yeah.
Like, worked his way up, the informant, all these movies.
Then he did an action saga trilogy, did that.
You know, now he's doing his own shit, Project Greenlight, whatever the fuck.
He really went all the way up to last.
Yeah, he's fucking great, man.
He's great.
I mean, we're not.
It's a pretty obvious take.
Matt Damon's good.
Well, I'm just, I'm not just saying he's good.
I'm saying he really, he stayed good and he stayed.
He's got integrity, I feel like.
Yeah.
He loves movies.
For sure.
Yeah, I like listen to him talk about movies, too.
It's like he just seemed, they seem the head of the curve when you hear him talk about.
Yes.
Although Ben Affleck's getting lay eye and people are getting mad at him.
About what?
He's leaning in.
AI. He's saying we... Oh, he is? Oh, he's like, we gotta do more with AI. A lot of people are saying
that. It's not, I just... Look at that. Founded it. I just think this AI shit, man, like, if you're
using it to cheat, it's like, it feels like it's cheating. Like, I don't want to get behind a
fucking... I understand people have their opinion on it, but like, anytime I hear people ask,
like, oh, you can use it for jokes. I'm like, that takes the fucking fun at a writing
jokes. I agree. Like, AI with jokes? Yeah, I'll Google something. If you use it, like,
for information, you know, the way you use Google, it's different.
being like using it to help you
create stuff. Using it to create is cheating.
I agree. I agree. And it's also
not even good at it. But maybe it'll get
good at some point. It'll get good. So yeah, I mean,
but it's, to me, it's like...
And it stunts your writing. It's going to
make sterile shit. If you're using it, you're going to make sterile shit.
Yeah. I agree. Because you're going to be able to tell that
something's soft. And the fun
in this, like, there's no fucking blood and guts
in your shit if you're using
that. Exactly.
It's like those songs that are overproduced.
You want a little bit of feedback in there.
Yeah.
You know, you want to hear the music.
You want to feel real.
Yeah.
But everybody's doing it.
Scorsesey's doing it.
George Lucas is doing it.
Yeah, I heard Eli Roth did it.
He was getting shit for it.
Oh, yeah.
That movie looks like a fucking turd, though.
Oh, yeah, that does.
What was that one called?
The Ice Cream Man?
Yeah.
Is that a horror, I assume?
Oh, boy.
Yeah.
This is not my cup.
28.
percent on rotten tea
it's like to the kids have bad ice cream
and then murder all the adults
what's the demo for this
yeah I don't know
I guess like horror nerds or something
yeah people like horror
they're all trying to be
weapons because weapons was so low budget
and a huge hit
but weapons had more
yeah sure weapons was great
yeah and I'm not a horror guy
yeah just the AI
and the defending of the AI
I want no fucking part of it
yeah but also you got it now that we're trying to make a movie when this guy got this movie made
there's actors there's a script there's uh you know editing involved there's sets and locations
and then it's just a big piece of shit you know it's like it's got to be crazy to go all that
way and then he must have really cared about this movie and i'm not saying this piece of shit
i'm saying rotten debate is and saying this piece shit yeah i'm not going to do the research to find out
no no no but yeah i know it's like that isn't a crazy thing about that you put like
The good thing about stand-up is like, we can kind of focus test it a little bit.
You take it all over the country and you're like, all right, it's hitting.
It's ready.
I know.
Or as opposed to, you know, a movie, you could just put your heart and soul into it and it comes out and it's a piece of dog shit.
Totally, totally.
I mean, that's what Freakin talks about in the book, too.
He sucks about, like, you know, he put all his heart and soul into these things that just weren't good.
And it happens.
It happens to everybody.
I mean, how long you worked on a joke where you're like, I got to just drop this thing?
Yeah.
You know?
But again, that's a joke.
You didn't put any money into it.
This is like years of work and grips and lighting guys and craft service people.
And that's just a big pile of shit.
A lot of work.
Crazy.
But think, I mean, great people make pieces of shit.
Yeah, yeah.
Like directors we love have made pieces of shit.
That's true.
Scorsese has, you know, some weak movies.
It's kind of inevitable.
I mean, I heard the new Spielberg sucked.
Disclosure Day.
Oh, Megalopolis.
Perfect example.
that's that's a crazy one that's a bummer because it's it's also his money oh that's what sucks is
you put your fucking money where your mouth is and you lost what over a hundred mill is that copula
yeah yeah sold his uh winery oh is that right yeah poor bastard we could have written a better
movie yeah he just took a big swing yeah you gotta respect it i respect the fuck out of it and the thing
is you human interviews and he's still sharp i mean him talking about he's you
you're like, yeah, this is passion and this is cool,
and I guess it didn't work.
I didn't see it.
I heard it was pretty rough,
but maybe I should just fucking wash it.
Yeah, I mean, look at the castes great.
I heard him in an interview,
this is probably 10 years ago,
but he was like, Hollywood won't give me a movie
unless it's a gangster movie.
And you're like, damn, that's shitty too, though,
because you're like, he has to have one genre
for the rest of his life.
It's like what Josh Homi was saying.
Like, people should be able to, you know, evolve.
Yeah, you know, and then you even watch, do you ever see the documentary for Apocalypse now, like the making of it?
No, I heard it's great.
It's incredible.
But it shows how even at his creative peak, it was kind of a mess.
I mean, think about how long it took to shoot that movie.
He was in the jungle for like, oh, what?
You fact checked this, but I think it was like close to two years.
Wow.
First actor who forgot who before was Martin Sheen dropped out, like fuck this shit.
Martin Sheen shows up.
He has a heart attack.
He's a young guy.
I mean, it was a fucking disaster.
Then the movie's over budget and he's like, I'll put up my own fucking money.
So he's like, if it doesn't make this money, I'm in it.
So he gambled then.
Whoa.
So that maverick type wild card shit was already in him.
Yeah, sure.
But, you know, that shit, when it's 120 or whatever of your own money.
Yeah.
It's crazy that a brilliant guy can put up 120 for his perfect vision and it's a piece of shit.
I mean, it does go to show you that, like sometimes these gatekeepers, although they're wrong a lot of the time,
sometimes they do know.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Sometimes they're like, that's not right
and that's not going to work.
Sometimes a little guidance is good
because we've seen people who we know are hilarious too.
Yeah.
And they kind of lose those people.
They don't really want to hear it from people anymore.
Right, right.
And that loss of connection, their work suffers.
Their work suffers, for sure.
Well, you know, you got those guys with music.
You have like Rick Rubens who come in and they go,
let me make this album better.
Or it is a movie Rick Rubin?
Yeah.
You know, is there a guy who comes in?
and goes, I don't like this.
This is going to flop.
This is going to be bad.
We've got to change that.
There must be that guy.
I think you bring in, if you have your friends, if you still trust your friends, you bring
your friends, be like, what do you think of this?
I guess so.
Yeah, but just like Michael Mann bring in, you know, Wes Anderson and go, hey, what do you
think of this shoot shootout scene?
I'd make it a little more whimsical.
It should be a little talking fox here somewhere.
Right, right.
He hasn't had a movie in a minute.
Who?
Wes Anderson.
He just had one.
he did yeah it just came out oh boy the phoenician scheme last year didn't say it oh boy didn't even
hear about it and i like benicio let me pull up some peeves i got here watch out everybody
yeah what do you got i got some you peeving i usually try to remember him and i said fuck that i'm
writing them down and now i got a bunch yeah i think i got some okay hold on let me find them here
pee here we go uh this is annoying no way and i did that
Two weeks ago. Hold on. Where's the new peeve? There it is. You ever have this guy who is trying to get an answer out of you and you don't know, but he keeps asking? You know, it'll be like, what's that West Anderson movie, the one that just came out? I don't know. Was it Grand Budapest? I don't know. Was it the fantastic Mr. Fox? I don't know. Was it a Mystic River? I don't know.
I think they're going to shake something loose and you're like, I don't know. I don't know. And I feel bad saying, I don't know, seven.
17 times, but once I said, I don't know, I don't know.
Also, you got a phone.
Use the fucking phone.
Right, right.
Yeah, but he just kept going, and it was driving me crazy.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, I got a few peeves.
I got one.
A big one is, I'll do this sometimes.
Like, I just eat too much sometimes.
So then I'll just be like, I'm just going to get healthy shit.
And then I just eat way too much of the healthy shit.
I'm like, what the fuck am I?
Oh, interesting.
There's this place by me called Tashkent.
It's a little fucking new grocer.
Great, they have great shit.
They have this.
carrot salad.
It's, I'm like, oh, eat healthy.
I'll just eat a lot of carrots.
A lot of carrots.
Going through jars of this shit.
It's drenched in vinegar.
Then I'm having, like, fucking heartburn.
So you're like, you gaslight yourself and you're like, I gotta eat healthy.
And then you're just like, well, now I'm sick.
Oh, I know this place.
It's fucking awesome.
They have awesome food.
Good shwarma there, too.
Ooh, all right.
That's a peeve.
I got another peeve.
All right, a peave on a peeve.
Yelling from the other room.
Just come in the room.
Why are you yelling?
That's a lady thing.
It's a real lady thing.
Well, your lady yells.
My wife will be like, I'm like, you're in the other room.
How can I hear that?
Oh, my God.
I would rather her go, what?
Where's the toothpaste?
But she's like, where's the toothpaste?
She'll always do it when I'm doing it.
Like, I'll be like brushing my teeth, electric toothbrush.
And she's yelling.
I'm like, you know I can't hear.
Right.
You use this toothbrush.
And come in and talk to me.
The yelling's not working.
Yeah, she'll be in bed.
That's a lot.
Oh, that's what it is.
Yeah.
And I'm just like, come out.
Just fucking come in the room.
Yeah, yeah.
I hate that, hate that.
My wife will have a full conversation, and I want to be in the room, and she comes in, she's like, isn't that crazy?
I miss the prequel.
I'm getting the sequel here.
I missed a new hope.
You're right on Return of the Jedi.
Yelling from the other room's a big.
That's a big one.
That's a big one.
Okay.
Oh, how about this one?
I hate this guy.
This guy drives me crazy.
The guy who keeps asking if you're ready.
You know, he goes, oh, man, you're not going to believe who I saw yesterday.
I'm like, oh, hit me.
He goes, you ready for this?
I'm ready, baby.
Who'd you see?
You sure you're ready?
Are you ready?
I'm ready.
We're all ready.
I don't really even give a shit.
And by the way, it's never Bill Cosby.
It's never huge.
I know, exactly.
Just Steve, and you're like, that's it?
Yeah.
I buckled up.
I know.
You told me to be ready.
I'm wet.
I'm loomed.
You ready?
You ready for this?
You ready for this dick to get your ass?
Yeah, bring it on.
I fucking hate that you ready.
You sure you're ready?
You should be going the other?
the way you should go down lowering the lower the lower the bar so that way I'm really dazzling right
you're setting me up for disappointment that's true because it's never that great you're right
it's never that good yeah good point all right you don't believe who I fucked the other day
who you ready I'm ready you ready you ready you're ready you know what I'm not ready
give me an hour and a half then I'll be ready let me take a shower it was my girlfriend anyway
it wasn't good I was gonna say RuPaul but it wasn't uh what else
Can you give you a wreck?
Oh, please.
I watched the entire series of the Sarah Silverman program.
Whoa.
And by the way, shout out Dave Justcow who's in that show.
Oh, yeah.
A lot of people.
Slippy Aigley.
Yeah, it's a good.
So the Reck is the Sarah Sullivan program?
Yeah, it's a good show.
It is a good.
It's tight.
It's funny.
We almost had her on this show, but it didn't work out.
We'll get her eventually.
I watched it when it was new, but I don't remember it that well, to be honest.
Harris Whittles wrote on that show.
Whoa, that guy's brilliant.
Eastbound and down, Parks and Rec.
Wow.
I think he wrote a book, too.
Yeah.
He invented the term.
Humble brag.
Really?
He invented that term, the humble brag.
Damn.
Yeah.
You said you started five easy pieces and didn't finish.
Are you going to go back to it or you're just done with it?
I will.
You talk me into it.
You got to go back.
I think it's a classic.
I think it's a classic scene.
It's a classic scene.
Oh, did you not make it to the diner scene?
No, I made it like a scene.
Oh, my.
The diner scene's class.
Classic.
That's crazy.
That's like walking out of something about Mary before the jizz and the hair.
Yeah.
I never walk out of that one.
Dude, five easy pieces.
You got to go back.
You watched something else so, too, didn't you?
What was the other one?
Do the right thing.
That's classic.
I tried to watch Bound.
No one's got it.
I tried it on Plex.
I couldn't find it.
Dude.
I tried it on Amazon Prime.
It was $3.99.
So I bailed.
Oh, come on.
Drop the $399.
It's worth it.
It's a fucking great neo-noir.
And $499.
Our buddy who's a director, he told you to see it to him.
He was raving.
Both he were raving.
The Wokowski's did it before The Matrix.
Yeah, that's a good son.
I love Gina Gashon.
Oh, man.
That's a great flick.
All right.
Highly wrecked that one.
If you want a fun, fun movie.
All right, how about this guy?
Last Peeve.
You ready?
Okay, last beef.
The guy, you're in a group, maybe four or five people.
Everybody's cracking jokes, having a good time.
and the guy who makes a joke in the middle of all the jokes,
not the best joke,
but everybody keeps going,
and then he keeps repeating it,
making sure you heard.
Even though we all heard it the first time,
we just chose to quietly move on,
but he's still hammering it just in case.
He didn't get what he wanted.
It didn't get what he wanted,
so he keeps repeating it.
You can't recycle new material.
I know, especially if it didn't hit, it didn't hit,
except it move on.
That's the thing.
You got to assume it was heard.
Yeah, yeah.
So now it's bombed four times
instead of one.
So I'm trying to think of an example of what it was,
but it was, you know, it was a green room full of comics,
and the guy was just saying the same line over and over.
But I got a peeve for you, though, on top of that.
All right.
It's when you do that, and then you don't repeat it,
and no one actually heard it,
and then someone else says the same thing a second later,
and they get the laugh.
Oh, that's, yes.
The hijacking.
The hijack joke.
The high joke.
The high joke.
Yes, yes.
That's a fucking, so that's a peave on your pee,
but you're right.
You got to just take the L.
You can't go, I just said that.
Yeah, that's a bad look.
I want credit.
Yeah, yeah.
But the worst is when they really blow the guy, they're like, oh, shit.
That's the fucking line of the night.
You're like, oh, no, that was mine.
Play the tape.
Review the tape.
Yeah, that's tough.
See if I have any other peeves.
I think I do.
I'm peaving up a storm lately.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, here's a fucking other girlfriend peeve.
Uh-oh.
And it's like indecisiveness is really the peeve.
But it's like, she was going to cook for me, which is very nice.
But she can't decide on what it's going to be.
And you and I are in the middle of having a panic freak out because we're on the phone.
We're going back and forth because of a director dropping out of our thing.
And we're figuring out who's the next one.
And we're talking about the meetings.
And we're kind of going back and forth.
And we're being our own indecisive, but it's over a big thing.
She asked me 42 times, chicken or fish?
And I go, it doesn't matter.
She goes, well, the chicken, this is the positive.
The chicken is like, either way, I'm happy with whatever you make.
And she goes, the fish, this might be a little healthier.
It's white fish.
It's full of protein.
I'm just like, honestly, it doesn't matter.
It could even order it in whatever you want.
She goes, but I want to make you something.
Okay.
And then I'm like, very nice.
Very nice.
But I'm also like, she goes, chicken it 40th time.
She goes, so Bronzino or like a corner.
I don't give a fuck.
Whatever you make is fucking fantastic.
That's got a black guy.
And the worst on top of that, peeves.
Now I'm an asshole.
This is the worst part.
I know, I know.
I'm just trying to cook for you.
you when you're yelling me, oh, you know.
Well, on top of that is when you go, the chicken.
And they go, yeah, the chicken wouldn't be good, but the fish.
Don't ask me.
You wouldn't even need me.
You don't need me.
Just choose.
I literally, I literally think of just you choose.
You choose.
I'm so happy you're cooking.
I know, I know.
That's annoying.
That's a peave.
Anyway, she made me steak.
Hey.
And she moved out.
Yeah, I hate to, uh, I might have used this peep before.
But now we're, we're peeing on top of peev and I'm on a peev roll here.
Yeah.
The, when you make the plans or you figure something out, so you do all the dirty work, I got the tickets.
I got us the Uber.
I got us parking.
And they go, this Uber sucks.
Why did you get this Uber?
Oh, man.
Oh, you got us these tickets.
We're at Roe 70.
Oh, that's kind of shitty.
This parking garage, you?
Why did you pick?
And I'm like, you didn't do anything.
I know.
And now I'm getting punished for doing the legwork.
I did the itinerary.
Yes.
Oh, I'm the same way.
Dude, I'm the same way.
I'm a little bit of a control freak with this stuff.
I like to plan everything.
Yeah.
Just because I want to make sure everything's good.
Sure.
Then you make one misstep.
That's all you hear about.
And it's your fault.
Everything is your fault.
Yeah.
So that one sucks.
And I got one last piece.
I'll tell you, I wrote them down.
You're fucked.
I might have a couple more.
I'm peeping up a storm too.
I'm getting a little annoyed with the, uh, the you got to do.
You know, the guy goes, uh, you ever do a chiropractor?
I'm like, nah, I never did a chiropractor.
You got to do.
do a chiroprice. And by the way, that's not what you got to do. Oh, really? That could go south.
Really? I mean, it's not like, fucking doctors hate chiropractor. Really? You do acupuncture.
Yeah, it's different. Okay. It's the, it's the cracking they don't like. Whoa, I crack everything.
Acupuncture is ancient Chinese medicine. That's fucking like needles. It's like deeper than a massage. I think an
acupuncture could be really good. Do you feel better after? I feel way better. Oh, all right,
all right. Yeah, I don't do it a ton. I just don't have a lot of time to do it. But like, yeah,
A good acupuncturist, that's...
A needle in your forehead feels like...
Try one right here, buddy.
It'll really turn things up.
Do it under a bridge.
Yeah, but they'll be like, this needle in your knee is for harmony.
This is for...
Well, that sounds weird.
That shit.
And all that.
I'm like, what are we doing here?
You're telling me there's a thing right here.
I see a needle in the forehead.
I'm like, this is crazy.
Yeah, but you really...
It can really help.
Okay.
I mean, doctors recommend acupuncture.
Oh, okay.
All right, all right.
These are crazy.
These, not the, not the, I can't watch a dog get cracked.
This is weird.
But. You just breaks his neck.
I know.
It feels like it.
I've gotten a chiropractor where it's help, but I'm scared to do it.
Oh, really?
The cracking scares me, yeah.
I did it once.
Bert, you know, Bert has to go all out on these tours.
He gets like, he had a haircut lady.
He had a chiropractor.
He had like a guy making snowballs.
Nice rump.
But he got a chiropractor and I had a crazy neck crick from a lot of,
long flight to Phoenix and my neck was killing me and I said fuck it man hit me I was a little nervous
and he's like oh my guy he's feeling my neck he's like this is crazy how often do you fly I go
every weekend he goes I can tell your neck is fucked up and I was like oh shit and he went uh hold on
one second and it felt I felt like a child again I felt great yeah it can help but I do I worry that
they're fucking something like they're giving you temporary relief and they're fucking something
what I worry about but yeah I've done it like same with you it's like the travel will fuck you
sometimes and I've had problems.
I remember doing a Conan or something back in the day,
and a guy completely saved me.
Shout out Dr. Cole and Studio City, I think.
Save the day.
Now, a good massage.
I feel guilty getting them,
but when you get a good massage,
that is the best thing in the world.
Two things that are really good about them is,
one is,
I just feel like I can think.
Oh, yeah.
My mind is clear, because I'm not thinking about anything.
Not your phone.
Yeah,
But also, yeah, I mean, you just realize how fucked up your body is as you get older and stuff.
Yeah.
I don't stretch enough.
I went to yoga from Liz from the comedy seller over the weekend, and I left.
Like, I feel so fucking good.
Really?
I just don't, as an adult, you just, we got to stretch, man.
I know.
We're tight.
I know.
Boy, yeah, it's bad.
Sometimes I'm banging the wife, and I'm like, I could never do any of the shit I'm doing with her legs.
If you did this shit with my legs that I'm doing with her legs, I wouldn't eat her.
I would break.
Like, I'd be in the hospital.
I'm like flipping this.
And she's pregnant.
I'm flipping that up, flipping this around.
I think women are built different, though.
They're biologically shaped so you can penetrate them.
Oh, totally.
That baby's getting a full-body workout.
You're sticking in daggers.
He's bouncing around.
She's falling everywhere.
He thinks it's a coat hanger.
Yeah, but he fist bump my dick.
But yeah, yeah, it's weird.
But I think women physically are more limber.
They got to be.
Of course.
Okay, okay.
Totally.
Yeah, you see the shit women doing those.
I mean, that's why those classes are usually women, but I see a lot.
I was there on Saturday with Liz.
There's a lot of dudes in there.
I was the only one to cut my shirt on, but I mean, some of these dudes, I'm like, keep the shirt on.
Yeah, yeah.
Those dudes are chiseled.
Chiseled.
Yeah, they look fucking.
Some are not, though.
Okay.
There's like a type of dude that does yoga that I'm like, this is all you do.
Yeah.
You got to do something else, too.
That's true.
They got the skinny fat.
Oh, it's weird looking.
Yeah, yeah.
You'd almost rather be a fat guy.
Yeah, it seems more fun.
Then, yeah, than like the doughy, skinny guy.
There's no fun to mean, although I guess you could fix that a little more easily.
Who knows? I don't know.
That's true. That's true.
But that was a big Connor McGregor thing.
He would always be like, you skinny fat, skinny fat.
To who?
To who?
To Nate Diaz.
Yeah, but he was a badass.
Oh, I mean, the guy's a fighting machine.
I don't want to fuck with that, dude, in the dark alley, Nate Diaz.
I met him.
He's like a fun type of crazy.
Yeah, completely.
I went to high school with guys like that.
What was he like when you met?
him.
Scary.
Like, super nice, but, like, you just didn't want to cross them.
You know, you're like, hey, man.
He's like, hey, how are you?
And he's like, eyeballing you.
And you're like, uh-huh, ha, ha, ha.
You just, you know.
Did he know, I say fucked up shit to any, any actor, him.
I didn't say a fucking word.
I kept it straight down the middle.
I said, yes, sir, no, sir.
You're holding a fart.
Yeah, exactly.
I would not fart on that guy.
Yeah, wow.
It is funny because, like, it's just a classic example of, like, yay.
You don't fuck with anybody because you don't know.
You don't know.
You don't know who could fuck you the hell up
and you don't know who would want to.
Yeah.
That's what's cool about basketball is kind of like this.
So is hockey.
Sports where you don't need to be huge to be good.
Yeah.
Brunson, what, 6-2?
Yeah.
Amazing basketball player.
Like every UFC guy, not everyone, but most of them look like regular guys.
Like they're fit, but they're not like bra.
And then sometimes being the biggest dude doesn't actually translate.
Like Kimbo Slice, you know.
Totally.
It was a great street fighter, but you've got to be kind of technical on those things.
Yes, yes, exactly, exactly.
Hockey, you can see a hockey player on the street.
You wouldn't even know it.
Veter played hockey.
There you go.
Patrick Kane, he's a short hockey player.
Like, there's hockey players who are not huge.
Yeah, what's that guy?
Jack Hughes, they won the Olympics.
Oh, man.
He's just like a little twinky guy.
He's a cute guy.
How tall is Jack Hughes?
I'm going to say 5-8, 5-9.
Really?
If I had to guess.
Look how cute!
5-11, okay, taller than I thought.
Yeah.
But it makes sense for hockey, like, low center of gravity.
A lot of it's about balance.
It makes sense.
Yeah.
It's about, like, fucking speed that hit a lot of the time, too.
But finesse, you don't have to be that big, I guess.
He was banging a Tate McCray.
They just broke up.
All right, page six.
Yeah, the old Segura.
He's a...
Going off.
I mean, what a year that guy had.
Man, the fucking USA, baby.
I know.
Men and women.
I know. What a fucking run.
Hell yeah.
Love it.
Love to see it.
Now, the hockey, the women's hockey, they're not dealing with all this hoopla.
What do you mean?
Well, I feel like the WNBA is all this drama, drama.
You don't see the lady hockey team.
Well, there's no lady NHL.
There isn't?
I don't think there is.
I guess you're right.
I mean, it's just the national team.
CWHL.
Oh, Canadian women's hockey league.
Because I do not want to see the paycheck for that.
They pay you to play.
Yeah, right?
Holy shit.
That's fucking, yeah.
I was looking up like what men made in the 60s, 70s in the NBA.
And if you adjust for inflation, it's like basically what women get paid for the WMBA now.
Interesting.
But it is a newer league.
But, yeah, I mean, it's way less.
You know, it makes less than all the women bowling.
Yeah.
Bowling men make less than any lady sport in history, except for maybe cheerleaders.
The average professional bowler between 40 and is it?
55.
Yeah, I mean.
Wow.
But you get to make a living as a bowler.
That's pretty cool.
That's true.
Elites get 150.
That's crazy.
Damn.
150 to 450.
Okay, okay.
That's pretty good.
Some people make them good dough.
That's pretty good.
But you don't get the ladies.
I bet.
You know, I think if you're really good at anything, you can impress ladies.
I think women are impressed by just like, like, if you're, like, really disciplined at
at something.
Yeah.
gamers get laid. Those gamer guys, there's millionaires.
I don't know if it's so weird to be like, baby, sit here for a second.
I know, I know.
But yeah, these guys, these Asian kids, they sit in an office chair with a headset on, just kicking ass.
Well, you see the money they make on those Twitch streams.
Oh, no.
It's like, oh, they're making bank, dude.
Damn.
E-sports average salary. What do you got? Hit me, baby.
138 to play video games? I guess that's not bad.
I think that's going to be the next big thing.
What, video games?
Yeah, like we're going to watch the Super Bowl of video game people.
That's going to happen.
God, I feel like it's happening.
Mateo, lame, my neighbors always like come down on my Twitch stream.
He does Fortnite and people just watch him play video games and bullshit.
Wow.
And he gets paid for it.
Wow.
What a time to be alive.
Sure, we got homeless and fentanyl and culture war and all this shit.
But get paid to play video games.
video games. What a country.
It is crazy. Your parents would yell at you as a kid. Like, that's not going to take you anywhere.
And now it's like, it could have. That's true. If you believed in me, Mom.
That's true. Yeah, wow. Yeah, video games were a nuisance.
I'm not a big game. I just feel like it's, I don't feel good after it. Like, if I watch a movie, I can at least I kind of sit and think about it.
I agree. But I love like NBA 2K when I was a kid. And I love those, like, obviously, N64 when we were kids.
That was fucking amazing. That was great.
But I just feel like if I opened that door.
It's gonna fuck up my life.
It's like a drug.
I'm gonna be on it for like eight hours.
I'm gonna wake up the next day like,
fuck, I neglected all this shit I needed to do.
Exactly.
Because you get into that call of duty,
Halo shit.
You can do nine hours on that stuff.
Oh, it's so fun.
I remember when L.A. Noir came out.
I was like, this game was made for me.
I get to cross-examine suspects for evidence.
Are you fucking kidding me?
I don't remember that game.
L.A. Noir?
That was fucking sick.
I forgot.
It was awesome, though.
Wow.
It was like LA confidential as a video game.
It was so cool.
I've never heard of this game.
Dude, it could have ruined my life if I let it.
I mean, it's a drug.
It really is a form of drugs.
Like, it's like, oh shit, I just spent the whole day on Molly.
At least a co-op shit, at least like for kids or like they're being social and stuff.
Sure, sure.
But that's true.
I mean, they're calling each other the worst things on the planet.
But yeah.
But yeah.
I mean, I remember he was a kid that you'd have like one of the friends.
You'd go to the place and everyone would play like smash.
or Mario Card and whatever.
And I was like, that was fun as shit.
That was great.
That was going to get a pizza.
And you get your friends together.
It's like a thing.
But now I feel like it's all made to be isolated.
I know.
Because that's where they make their money.
It's like all of you on your own system.
So that's, that kind of sucks.
They've taken that away.
Did you have the kid who would throw the controller on the ground?
That's the worst.
We had that one kid and he would break the controllers.
And you're like, hey, asshole.
Now we all can't play.
You're a spas.
You're a spas.
Deal with your emotions.
Yeah.
The same guy who got drunk later.
and threw his phone on the ground.
Or the guy who reset the fucking thing.
You're the guy who flips the monopoly board.
Exactly.
You're the fucking worst.
Exactly.
He pulled the cord out of the wall, something.
Piece of shit.
No sportsmanship.
A rage quit, they call it.
Yeah, yeah.
Grow up.
Take a loss.
It's a bitch move.
Yeah, these people didn't play sports or anything, I'm sure.
That'd be funny about a guy rage quit like that in the gamer finals.
He's just like, fuck this.
Reset.
That's the one time I'd allow it.
Yeah.
Because at least that's like your rep and money on the line.
Right, right.
This is recreational.
We're having fun.
What are you doing?
I guess chess, when you think about it, chess is the original video game.
Yeah.
It's two guys going at it.
But chess for some reason is like, I guess video games require skill, though.
I was going to say it requires, like, you have to kind of see.
Definitely.
But I guess chess is seen as more cerebral.
Like, you have to kind of see ahead in a way.
That's true.
That's true.
It's also such an angel.
game. Right, right. Chess is very impressive. I'm impressed by people who are really good at it.
Same. I tried and I didn't have the band. I'm not good at it. You know, I just didn't care enough
to go for it. Yeah, I had a friend growing up who was a fucking master at it. He was like ranked
for his age group number two for a while and then he became a drug addict. I think those dudes
live in their heads. They do. And they just become fucked up. But he would be tweaked out on drugs,
hustling dudes in Washington Square Park for money and then you get money for more drugs.
Whoa, that's amazing.
Yeah.
I mean, I think Bobby Fisher was a real nut.
Yeah, I think so.
He had some problems.
Queen's Gambit.
Oh, yeah, she's hot.
It was a fun show.
Yeah, the whole thing's made up.
I don't know if I fully bought that a woman that hot is going to chess.
She's too hot.
Yeah, that's a story about a guy.
They made it a woman.
Fun fact.
Oh, really?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, it was the time, you know, we wanted to be empowered.
It was fun, though.
It was a great show.
Yeah, I was into it.
She's always good.
She was, remember the, the, the, not the invite, the dinner?
I didn't see that one.
I heard it's good.
It's really good.
I got to see it.
It's eerie and dark, but it's good.
What the fuck is that called?
The menu.
The menu!
I got to watch that.
Ray Fines.
You can't go wrong with Ray Fines.
You can't go wrong.
That guy brings the heat.
Schindler's list.
In Bruges.
In Bruges show?
Quid show.
Always good.
Scary guy.
Oh yeah, he's an X-Men or what is that?
Conclave.
Conclave
That ending sucked
Really?
I hated
Oh he was trans or something
It just was like
Forced as fuck
All right
Yeah he's good
Oh the English patient
Was a big hit
When I was kidding
I never saw it
I never saw it
But all the moms liked it
They were like
Oh
The English patient

This is what we did
When we used to get
Shitface at the bar
We just talk movies
Yeah
Well we're doing
movie so how about that it's a it's a stressful thing but luckily luckily we're on the same page but yeah
people just quit i know i know you were just quitting you and it's like it sucks when it's over money
because it's like we're not making fucking money yeah well it's too it's one of those things that we've
been talking about for so long i can't even imagine it's actually gonna happen like they were shooting
for october i know intended but it's like damn that's is that gonna be are we gonna be on a movie
set with a guy with a big bullhorn and a beret going action and then a crane comes
comes down and then, you know, somebody throws a script down and goes, I can't work like this.
Is that going to be us?
Yeah, you just worry we get a director who's going to try to change the tone or change a lot.
We have an aesthetic we want to hit.
We have like a vibe we want it to be.
And you just want to make sure they kind of, they work with that and don't overtake it.
Totally, totally.
But, yeah, it's why you do interviews.
There's definitely a couple interviews where we were kind of looking at each other like, what the fuck did this guy just say?
There was a couple of like, what the fuck was that?
Yeah, yeah.
We were at that restaurant for a while.
Oh, yeah.
You finally were like, okay, I have to go home.
Oh, I did the move.
I did the move where I just paid.
Oh.
That's the wrap-it-up move.
I went to the bathroom piss and I was like, well, I got this.
That was a good move.
But I loved him, though.
I thought he was awesome.
He was great, very passionate, good energy.
But it was just two hours, and we just potted all day.
Yeah, yeah.
I got shows tonight.
I got a child.
He's waiting in a Waymo.
Yeah.
I got to get the hell out here.
Yeah, so that was great.
