Starting point is 00:00:00 And we thank them for sponsoring the show. Well, no, I'll just go ahead. I mean, look, I'm money dumb. Y'all know that. I've been money dumb ever, since ever, my whole life. And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion. Because used to, you, like, had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.
Starting point is 00:00:19 It's just like you can just, it makes it easier to lose count of, well, your count, the count every month, how much you're spending. A lot of people don't even know how much they spend on a per month basis. I'm not going to lie, I can be one of those people. Like, let me ask you right now. Skewers out, whatnot, sorry, well-read people. People across the ske universe, I should say. Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year? Do you even know?
Starting point is 00:00:42 Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery? Getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low mane? Because that's a thing that we do in this society. Do you know how much you spend on that? It's probably more than you think. But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better. and it's called Rocket Money. Rocket Money is a personal finance app

Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscriptions with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features. I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was probably like, I should know Spanish.
Starting point is 00:01:56 learn Spanish and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for you know pertinent two years now or something like that uh also a fun one I'd said it before but I had a I got an app lovely little app where you could you know put your friends faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that so obviously I got I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies you know those a little like the cue ball looking twin fellas. Yeah. So that was that in response to?
Starting point is 00:02:29 What was that a reply gift for? Just when I did something stupid. Something fat, I think, and stupid. Something both fat and stupid. But anyway, that was money well spent at first. But then I quit using it and was still paying for it and forgotten. If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out.

Starting point is 00:03:25 Like you're my, you know, you've slag jawed, mouth hanging open. That. Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah. Like, it looks like, here's what my confused face looks like. Somebody from Alabama looking at a Wendy's menu. Uh-huh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Yeah. You got any other little things like that you do with your face? Uh, when I'm like, I do this when I'm looking intently. If I'm concentrating on something, like, uh, not like, lifting something heavy, but like trying to, you know, trying to get a, like a bolt that's at a weird angle or like reaching down in between the couch cushions, whatever. I like stick my tongue out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:08 You know, like Jordan it. Yeah. Without thinking about it. My dad did that. That's pretty goofy looking. Yeah, my dad did that, but he would also bite his tongue. And it, when, when dad. Like, like, well, it looked painful to me, but I guess it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:04:24 painful to him, but like he would do it. When dad was doing anything kind of intense, he would bite his tongue. Like I remember when he'd get mad, he would bite his tongue. But also when he was like that, like that. But what's funny is he would do it when he was mad and he was trying to control himself. He was like, God, damn it. But like he also does that whenever he rolls, whenever he rolls a dog over to pet their belly, that's kind of a great, that's kind of one of those that pets a dog really rough. But the dog, it's hitting for the dog. what I mean, just kind of rough houses the dog. And dad always has his tongue out like Michael Jordan when he's doing it.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Yeah. And I didn't pick that one out. But I do have this look. This look either means I'm genuinely interested or it means I don't give a fuck about anything you're saying, but I want to convince you I am. And it's this. It's like my eyes down and my chin kind of up to be like, okay, okay. And I'd say that I do it more often than not when I don't
Starting point is 00:05:24 give a fuck what the person's saying, just so they, you know. You also, a thing that I noticed you do that you said you didn't know at the time was when you, uh, like, if you're, if you're like imitating a loud, dumbass, like somebody in a hometown, like at the store or whatever, you're like, put the goddamn flag down. Like if you do something like that, right? Yeah. When you do that, your eyes go crossed. And like, I thought that you were like, that was part of it or whatever.
Starting point is 00:05:59 And it is. Like, it is part of it. But like, I thought it was a conscious decision you were making. No, no choice. Like, Mike the dumb ass cross side. And I said something about it. You're like, what are you talking about? And you didn't even like know you were, you didn't even know you were doing it.
Starting point is 00:06:12 No. It's pretty, it's pretty great. I think that's just how in character I get with that person. You know what I mean? Like, just they naturally go. Now, but every. you pointed out, I noticed that I do it. But, like, I'm still telling you that I do not make the conscious decision to do it.
Starting point is 00:06:30 It's just whenever that voice starts, my eyes go cross. It's the crazy. It's just, I don't know, man. I'm just a fucking, I guess I'm a method actor. Yeah, it's pretty funny. Before we go any further, I guess we should acknowledge two things. One, Drew dead. Once again.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Right. Please. Or at least his phone is dead or something. I don't know. He's been in the holler for a long time. I feel like he's been like, I don't even know I don't even know if he lives in LA.
Starting point is 00:06:59 That's what I was about to exactly what I was about to say. I don't even know where Drew would like classify himself as living at because like he is a goddamn nomadic son of a bitch. I feel like he's always summers else. Yeah. Yeah. I don't. Dude, Amber,
Starting point is 00:07:15 Amber every week goes, does Drew still live in LA? And I'm like, yeah, why? She's like, he's never there. Like never,
Starting point is 00:07:22 never, never once there. So at this point, it seems like he's making the very poor choice to just pay rent in L.A. And live everywhere else across the country. Yeah. Like, he should just visit L.A. the same amount of time that he lives there because it would be the same. That is true. Yeah, but where he's at right now, I think it's somewhere in the sticks yet again.
Starting point is 00:07:44 And so he's having issues and cannot join us. But on a completely unrelated note, as we're recording this, it is Monday, June 10th. And I thought, you could tell me how you feel about this, I feel like, it was two, like, you know, straight white dipshits or whatever with our accents and everything, but mostly just the fact that we're white dudes. And dumb. And dumb. I felt like it would be, like, appropriate to respectfully acknowledge it, the holiday. Yep. And then probably just talk about it.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Move on. Because people ain't trying to, nobody wants to hear. Our opinion. from us. Also, when this episode comes out, it'll be June 21st. Right. Not June 19th, but since we're recording it on June 9th, I was trying to think, I wish I could remember what June 10th was. No, last year it was the exact opposite scenario. Oh, yeah, we had the podcast drop on June 10, but we didn't know it.
Starting point is 00:08:42 I knew that, but I hadn't said nothing about it. And I remember you or Drew were both something, like somebody went on like, not, of course, not a racist tirade. We don't do that on the show, but it was like a, you know, it was something. Something black. Something black. Something black in nature. Yeah, right. Just doing Cedric the Entertainer Impressions for 30 minutes.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Something in that vein. And we went on this little runner with it. We're cracking up or whatever. And I remember at the end of it, I said, anyway, happy June 10th, everybody. And that's the response you got from me. Yeah. 100% it was funny but this year it's that we're recording on june 10th but it comes out june 21st so yes and i i googled this like a white man would do you say happy juneth and according to google you uh you do i guess it is fine to say happy happy i'm sure it's probably not no shit what would be the other um thing well it's like i was thinking about this the end of slavery but it's still slavery adjacent and it's like do you say happy happy's a weird thing to say that's true it's like it's like it's like it's a weird thing to say that's like it's like it's like it's like it's But ending slavery did hit.
Starting point is 00:09:52 But ending slavery does hit, right? So I don't know. Look, it's all new. We're all figuring it out. But anyway, yeah. Here's my thing, though. Here's my thing. I do think that it would be weird for both me and for the black person.
Starting point is 00:10:08 If I was just out today and I just looked at a black person who said, happy June team. Absolutely. Like, even though obviously they would know, okay, this guy's in solidarity with me, I think that would be weird. Now, listeners, please chime in. Let us know in the comments if you think that would be weird. But like, goddamn, if I saw, dude, can you imagine seeing a white lady say happy Juneteenth to a family of black people at the Hobby Lobby or something? I would melt into the fucking floor. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:10:36 I agree completely. Now, I feel like if you got like a, you know, that's strangers. Even with like friends, though, I wouldn't like. No. It's just so much different than Merry Christmas. You know what I mean? It's just so much fucking different than Merry Christmas. Yeah, I mean, I do, I do get, it is a federal holiday, right?
Starting point is 00:10:57 Because I didn't get mail to them. It is now. It is now. Is that a Biden thing? Yes. And there's a, you know, there's some people on the right who are mad about it because they claim, of course, they claim they're like, look. Slavery didn't even happen. Now, like, they have to play it like, course, ending slavery. that did hit, of course.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Of course. We all think that. But we don't need a competing, racially motivated holiday around, or like a race-related holiday that competes July 4th. Yeah. Right. Apparently that's like a, that makes it controversial. It's like, oh, you mean, do you mean to tell me they just so happened to pick the summertime
Starting point is 00:11:41 right around July 4th to make, to Black Day, right? Like, that's a coincidence? Okay. Like, I think I remember doing a, go ahead. I just don't like, why, we, holidays hit. Like, I might even be anti-holidays. Like, why, holidays don't compete? I think most sane people would like, would love a holiday every goddamn week, you know?
Starting point is 00:12:06 Like, why not? Like, you're not. I think Burr had a bit about how, you know how racist you've got to be to not want the day off work? Right, exactly, yes. But, like, I remember, I think I remember doing a video a couple years ago. And I'll botch even what I said. But the whole point of it was like, I saw all these people talking about like they were comparing Juneteenth and July 4th and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:12:27 And I kept, I was like trying to read into it. I was like, okay, surely to God there's some article where someone is suggesting that we replaced July 4th with Juneteenth or something. And I never fucking found it because that's not what they were trying to do. And like my whole thing was like, this is not taking the place of anything. It's an addition. You know what I mean? And these are the type of things that, like, those type of people should be, like, listen, don't get me wrong.
Starting point is 00:12:54 It's absolutely fucking stupid if you stand Christopher Columbus so much that you're mad at Indigenous People's Day. It's that stupid. But at least in that one you've got the argument of they're replacing it. You know what I mean? This one is just, here's another day. Sorry, you won't get the mail. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:14 It's fucking stupid. So stupid. But like we said, I think we've, you know. set our pace on it and, uh, you know, or do you have more? No, I don't have more. But speaking of people like that, uh, I was in Florida, uh, this past week. I had a blast. North part.
Starting point is 00:13:33 I went to Santa Rosa Beach, which is like, it's near Panama City, Destin and Seaside, all that, all that good stuff. Really, really, really, really white, uh, area, as you could imagine. And it's a, it's a, I think there's a couple different. places maybe that go by the redneck riviera right but that part of florida is is often called the redneck riviera isn't it absolutely and and uh for good reason it's a great name it's awesome yeah it's awesome and it's a fucking great place yeah right yeah oh dude it's a fucking fantastic place and like i want to dress it too much because i talked about it on my substack at part time funnyman dot com but like you know i naturally i put up pictures of me and the kid at the beach or whatever
Starting point is 00:14:15 And I got so many people that were just like, how can it be considered a vacation to go to Florida right now? Dissantasland. How can you have a vacation there? But they weren't saying it like, boo you for spending your tax dollars there. They were saying it like, how could you even have a good time there? And it was like blowing my fucking mind because I was like, do these people think that I have to go to a town hall meeting on CTE or something? Like, I'm at the fucking beach. Let me tell you.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Let me tell you something right now. Anybody listening to has any kind of dog in this hunt in either place or just likes beaches or whatever. Let me tell you something straight up. Southern California, blue is fuck, right? California blue. California good, Florida red, all right? Yeah. Florida's beaches beat the brakes off of Southern California's beaches.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Alabama's do too. Even close. Yeah. It's not even close. These beaches out here are like they don't have. They're pretty and that's it. That's it. They're cold.
Starting point is 00:15:14 freezing called. They're cold as fuck. You go to the beach in Florida in the summertime, like, buddy, you're going to get wet, splashing around and be fucking boogieboarding out there. It's great. Like, you can't do none of that shit out here unless you're wearing a goddamn wet suit. So, like, speaking of boogie boarding. Hush.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Speaking of boogie boarding and shit out there, the last two days we were there, it was like, it was double red flag. And so we're, we're fucking back. And the reason, the reason we found out. it was double red flag, which by the way, double red flag means you can't even put a toe in the water, not a toe, nothing. They were giving out. And I say they were giving out.
Starting point is 00:15:53 They, I never actually saw them give out of fine, but they were instructing people that are like, even if you. I think it's also a category of just someone from Florida on like the Tinder app, you know. Double red flag. Like Tinder puts that classification, you know, you know, or it's like any, you know, like from Florida, also recovering from meth addiction.
Starting point is 00:16:14 something like that, you know. Double red flag. Yeah. Yeah. So there were, there were like a lot of double red flags in Florida. They, probably the highest percentage of double red flags in the entire country, aside from possibly, I would throw New Hampshire up there, surprisingly. I would throw New Hampshire up there, but I'll say Florida. So they were, the beach patrol was out making sure that nobody, and they were being cool. Like, they weren't just like willy-nilly writing people tickets. They were at first going, hey, just you might not have known, but just like, you. can't do this. And we found out that it was double red flag because during double red flag, when there was literally not a soul in the ocean, not once, well, there's one soul. And that soul
Starting point is 00:16:56 was my father-in-law who wasn't just sitting at the end of the beach with his toes in the water. He was in chest deep water fishing during a double red flag. And they had to like go, they were like, well, do you need this to come get you? And he's like, no, I'm going to. come in and he's like sorry fuck i didn't know um so it's a double red flag and like and what fucking sucked about all that is like you're still allowed to be on the beach and like don't give me wrong splashing in the water is it does hit but like you can have a good time at the beach on red flag day without going in the water like just lay there wait a minute hold on does that that's that's okay that's like a storm isn't it is it wind i know i think this one was the under
Starting point is 00:17:39 the current this one was like for the i was picture you know what i mean those they got those triangle-shaped flags, right, that are red, I think, that are like they're about weather. Like the, but not, don't, for storms, don't they also have flags that are red and they're like triangle-shaped or something? And that's like a classification, there's like Gale force winds and hurricane force winds or something. Isn't that a flag-based system too? That is a flag-based system. But from what we were told, because the waters didn't even look that choppy, what we were told is that the current. was so bad.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Oh, okay. And so you were still, because it wasn't really that windy, it was just a current thing. You were totally allowed to still be. Storm flags. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Storm flags, let's see.
Starting point is 00:18:26 We got, yeah, there's a whole bunch of different combinations of, of flags. So two red triangle-shaped flags is gale warning, like gale force winds. What about two regular-shaped ones? like rectangle or square? I guess rectangle.
Starting point is 00:18:48 I don't remember. I don't see rectangles. But there weren't go Gale Force wins. I can tell you that much right now. There's, uh, okay. So,
Starting point is 00:18:56 I'll see they got, so they got two different goddamn gale or a flag system. Coastal warning display program. Um, and U.S. Maritime Warning flag systems. Hang on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:11 They definitely use flags for storm purposes. But it sounds to me like you're talking about a whole different set of flags. I mean, just because here's the only reason that I say it has to be different flags. Because we were allowed to be on the beach. And there wasn't, nothing was blowing our tent over or anything. And the waters looked relatively calm. Yeah, so seeing double red flags at the beach means that water is close to the public due to dangerous surf conditions, including strong rip currents that can take down even the strongest swimmers.
Starting point is 00:19:43 That's what it was. It's very weird to me that they have like two different systems that are both based on red flags of different shapes that have to do. Just have a swim and don't swim. Yeah, right. And because the thing is you don't even have to put, be careful. We know that we're in the water. We should be fucking careful. Like Gail for swims.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Or swim or don't swim. That's what we need. But so the rip tide was apparently really, really bad. But there were people on the beach all around us, like the most Karen. motherfuckers in the world who are trying to give these Beach Patrol people shit because the water don't even look that bad. Why can't we get out there? And they're like, guys, listen, you don't understand. Like, it doesn't matter how good of a swimmer you are. We can't even be out there. And they're just not fucking having it. And they're sitting there and every time the Beach Patrol
Starting point is 00:20:34 leaves, they're running down to the water and dipping their toe in and just running back like they got something on somebody. And they're all just going fucking crazy. They're all just going fucking crazy like, oh, I'll fucking swim. This is bullshit. And they're saying this all in a very like, I thought this was America kind of fucking way. And I'm like, guys, are we so addicted to being able to do everything we want at every time that we can't understand that. Are you, like, is that worth it to you for your kid to die? Because they had kids with them, right? And so they're sitting there doing all this shit. One day after that, when we left, there were four deaths in that area from people who didn't
Starting point is 00:21:12 listen to them motherfuckers. They were in the shallow water and they just got their ass took out. So like, them shits is there for a reason, dude. They have to be, it's better safe than sorry. God damn, but just dude, the full, the full Florida Karen is something else, man. And I bet, I bet you at least some of those people who then died had family members that died or whatever, like are now indignant about it. Oh, yeah. And like probably want to sue, they want to sue somebody or something. you know what I mean? They're like, how could they let this happen?
Starting point is 00:21:45 Like run up to a lifeguard after their husband gets sucked away, you know, despite not supposed to being out there in the first place, run to a lifeguard, be like, you know, how could you let this happen kind of thing? Yeah,
Starting point is 00:21:57 I bet. I guarantee it. And I was trying to tell, like, not all those people, but like the people in my group or whatever. I was like, the reason that they do this and are so stringent on it is because of lawsuits.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Like, it's better safe than sorry. They don't want to have to deal with none of this shit. So they're not going to, to go out and go, maybe they could swim right now. It's like, no, if it's even a little bit close, go out there and tell them they can't. That way, when they do, they can't say that we didn't fucking tell them. There's the double red flag, you know.
Starting point is 00:22:25 I was just sitting there trying to pick this something like how they needed a mechanism. It's like a little, you push a button. Yeah. And some little, like, some like mechanized like dorsal fins pop out of the water, right? It's just like going back and forth. But it's just like an underwater track system that has like a dorsal fan on it. You know what I mean? I was thinking stuff like, but it's like, you know, there'd be a lot of money and effort just to not have to tell people to shut the fuck up and listen.
Starting point is 00:22:53 But also in Florida, they'd be people, even with that, like, even if you're like, well, it's not about the riptide. See, there's sharks out there today. Right. There'd still be people in Florida like, I don't give a fuck. I'll whip that shark's ass right. Like, they'd go like swing toward the shark, right? Yes. And they'd figure out your ruse.
Starting point is 00:23:09 because they think they could take it in a fight or whatever. Like, never, I always find a way to be dumb as fuck Americans, especially Florida. Yeah, and please, please understand when I say this, that there's obviously drownings where this wasn't the case, and they were very sad, and it was just an accident,
Starting point is 00:23:27 and those were good people. But I will say this, any of those people in my purview that day, had they gone out and then died, we didn't lose any of our best. You know what I'm saying? Like I think most people, unless it was a kid who just doesn't know any better, but like all, if all the people on the beach, they do double red flag, I think that they should just go. And now if anyone goes out there, I'm glad they're dead.
Starting point is 00:23:53 We can rid the world of certain people because they don't need to be around. Because I guarantee you, they're not wearing their seatbelts. They're not fucking stopping at stop signs. They're drinking and driving. You know what I mean? That's that they're not putting their fucking grocery cart back up. All those people should be taken out back and shot too. Bro, speaking of drinking and driving,
Starting point is 00:24:12 what about the month that West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins has had? On one. Can we give him redneck of the month? Absolutely, I think so. I mean, really doing West Virginia proud, you know, I mean, I mean, not. I don't know where he's from. He used to coach at Cincinnati. I look at up.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Yeah, look up where he's from. but so this is we know you know most y'all don't go to fuck about sports this is barely sports related this is huge he looks like a drunk this is red ass he was he was born in west virginia by God yeah he's red west by God Virginia Bob Huggins who's been the coach at west Virginia for a long time and a good coach you know he's a good coach well regarded good program for a long time he was at Cincinnati before that also a well regarded program he got uh he got pulled over this weekend in Pittsburgh on the night of a Taylor Swift concert, which apparently was unrelated, which bums me out. Because I was really hoping that that was the reason he was even there in the first place.
Starting point is 00:25:17 But he got pulled over in Pittsburgh with a blood alcohol content of what was it, 0.2.1. 0.21. 0.21. For those of you out there who don't know, that is insane. That is so fucked up. I mean, it's over double the legal. limit. Yeah. Like, this man was, it's actually, point two one is that, that's triple the legal.
Starting point is 00:25:42 That's, you're right. No, it's not. No, it's not. It's almost triple the legal limit. Sorry. Okay. Close to triple. Yeah, but it's close to triple the legal limit.
Starting point is 00:25:50 And we all know that at the legal limit, some people are kind of tipsy. You know what I mean? I mean, not me. Not like, no. No. Not me as I burp alcohol. Yeah. But, dude, again, for those of you don't know, point two one is a.
Starting point is 00:26:06 fucked up. That's not just you shouldn't be driving. That's, hey, we think it's time for you to leave the bar. Yeah. Oh, yeah, easy. So he apparently was out of like recruiting trips. He had like a cooler. He had a cooler with, yeah, and he's like, you try talking to these goddamn parents.
Starting point is 00:26:23 They're fucking kids. Being sober. Jesus Christ. I'm not wanting fucking money and shit. Yeah. Yeah, he just said now, like, you got any more of that cornbread? God. Damn.
Starting point is 00:26:34 just got it all over his face and shit. Just stank. But yeah, like, fucking, you put some stones on or something. Let's fucking turn this party up a little bit. But he had like a cooler filled with beer, you know, in the car that he was working his way through and a garbage bag filled with empties, right? Because, dude, to get. Okay, he's 70 years old.
Starting point is 00:27:05 Also, like, he's one of those guys that, like, I saw all these comments online from people in Cincinnati and people in West Virginia and stuff who are like, oh, Huggy Bears drinking is the stuff of legend around these parts. Yeah. Like, everybody locally knows. Bog shit.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Yeah, right, exactly. So, like, so considering that and that he's 70 years old and all that, very experienced drinker, he was just drinking beer. Yeah. To get a point two one on beer. Unreal. That's a fuck ton of beer, dog.
Starting point is 00:27:36 I would say that's 50 beers. That's a crazy amount of beers whilst driving around on a recruiting trip. On a recruiting trip. And it takes so long to get a point to one while drinking beer that if he was on recruiting trips that day, you know he was hammered. Yeah. So to be clear, we of course do not endorse or support drunk driving. We're just saying like, uh, Good Lord.
Starting point is 00:28:07 I mean, you know. He evidently, there's a goat for everything, you know. According to the arresting officers, he didn't know what city or couldn't name what city he was in. Of course. Of course. I don't know it was like a shithole though. Did he say that? No, no.
Starting point is 00:28:25 I don't think so. But that would be funny, though. And apparently. It must be Pittsburgh. Yeah. Mark told us he, I think he said he'd been pulled over before and like back in the day or maybe it was the same one. But there was a Mark said there was another point where he got pulled over and had, uh, he had puked on the driver's side door of the car he was driving. And it was like completely dry and crusted over.
Starting point is 00:28:52 So like he had been drunk enough to puke all over everything hours ago. And it's still been driving that whole time, right? And drinking, presumably. Do you know how many times that he's been pulled over in West Virginia and nothing happened about it? Exactly. That's why this happens. For sure, not just West Virginia, but Cincinnati. I'm sure everywhere he's been, dude, he mostly is drunk driving around that area probably. And, dude, you know he gets caught all the time.
Starting point is 00:29:24 And they just take him home. See you later, coach. You know, that type of shit. Guarantee it, bro. Being pulled over, being pulled over with Puelly, on in your car and a point two one. These are not the only two times that you have drunk and drove. No.
Starting point is 00:29:41 And nor are they the only two times you've gotten caught. Absolutely. I bet he hardly don't ever like regular drive. No, of course not. It probably exclusively drunk drives. It seems to me like it seems like he drunk does everything because he also. Apparently drunk goes on radio because I said earlier, what about the months he's having And this is not the only scandal he's had.
Starting point is 00:30:06 A couple weeks ago, two or three weeks ago, he went on the radio in Cincinnati, the radio. Yeah, the FCC controlled radio. And you, I mean, I don't know how to do that. Like, he, uh, what, what, we, who was he talking about? I should do this, Corey. He was talking about the Xavier basketball program. And he called them. what I call people from the University of Notre Dame.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Yeah. That's all I know how to say without saying it. He, I'm just kidding. I don't call them that, but he called them a bunch of Catholic. I put a British accent on. He called them Catholic fags,
Starting point is 00:30:55 which I don't know how you smoke a Catholic. Yeah, there you go. I didn't have the Catholic church made fags. I prefer camels myself. That's a good shake coat. there, love. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Yeah. But yes, he called him a bunch of Catholic fags on the radio in Cincinnati. Just because David all here for him. Not just because fuck Xavier. Yeah, exactly. And he, uh, and dude, I listened to it. And it's like, he, it. Was he hammered?
Starting point is 00:31:27 With both. Well, like, okay, again, this is a clearly very experienced drinker. Yeah, right. I can seem not hammered when I am. I think he was hammered. But like, you wouldn't have just listened to him and immediately thought like this dude's hammered until he said that. Yeah, right. But in both instances, he's 70.
Starting point is 00:31:46 He's been at West Virginia for years. And I know he's been caught and it's covered up. But that doesn't pertain to the radio incident. Of course. Both cases, it's so wild to me that a dude who's that drunk that often, when, Went so long without either of these things happening. And then all of a sudden they happen back to back in a month span or whatever. Do you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:32:10 Because, dude, DeWay says it. He just comes right. It seems like there's nothing in his brain. He didn't mess up at all. Exactly. There's nothing in his brain. It's like, maybe I ought not. He just rolls with it.
Starting point is 00:32:22 And Castorillo hits one to line. Yeah. I make it a 4-0 ball game. Yeah. He's like saying it with a small. mile on his face. He just kept going. He didn't know he fucked up. No, exactly. And that's insane to
Starting point is 00:32:38 me. Yeah. And like and I would say it's like well, you know, and this is true. It's like dudes like that 70 year old from the old school. He spent so long of his life being able to say whatever he wanted that he just, it's all
Starting point is 00:32:54 caught up to him now. But like it's not, but it's like you said, it's not like he's not been doing radio for the past 10 fucking years and like Yeah, right. What you just said is true, but it's like it's 20, 23. These things would have been a problem for the past 15 years at least. I think 15 years ago he wouldn't have gotten fired.
Starting point is 00:33:13 You're probably right. 10 years at least. 10 years at least. 10 years at least. This hangover came out. Because, well, and also when did the, when did the, God damn it? What was that radio guy's name? Don Imas said nappy-headed house.
Starting point is 00:33:29 That's different somehow. That was about 10 years ago or something. something, wasn't it? Yeah, I think if Don Amos had... But that was like the first time something like that it happened. No, I agree with you. People were like, hey, this ain't cool. And then, like, I agree, but I think that if Don Amos had instead 10 years ago said Catholic F words, I think he would have skated by on that. You know what I mean? Like, the F word, it took... And dude, by the way, from me too, like from myself. Like, I said it a lot later than I should have. And like, my defense was basically, that Louis C.K. defense of like, oh, dude, I was like, when I, when I say it, I don't mean it,
Starting point is 00:34:07 I don't mean it that way. It's like, you just, you call that to your friend when he's being a, you know what I mean? In my mind, that was just like, that was just like whatever and it didn't matter. But like, granted, the difference is like with that in the N word is that like I grew up with black people, so you, you know early on don't do it. But I, but until after we, there weren't that we knew of gay people around us. So we just had this freedom. and no one had ever taught us not to. And again, in our mind, we were just like, well, that one's fine. And to defend ourselves a little bit, they were saying it in mainstream movies until 10 years ago.
Starting point is 00:34:42 You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I would, like, right. I would, uh. Dude, I said it on stage. It definitely 10, 12 years ago for sure. 100% I said it on stage. I would still say it about like myself or something.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Yeah, of course. Yeah. Context. When I was growing up, like, back, like, like, I, I was more getting called that or, you know, having that. Yeah. Yeah, which makes you feel like you can say it. You're like, well, I am.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Yeah. I mean, that's exactly 100% right. I did always kind of feel like I should, but, uh, but, you know, they make the rules. I mean, it's funny, we're sitting here going over all this. I literally just said it. I just put out. You didn't know. No, but also, dude, there's context.
Starting point is 00:35:29 I was literally giving me. I know. I've always felt like, and I mean, look, I'm not saying that what I'm, what I'm about to say is the end all be all gospel rule. I just have always felt like if you were quoting something for the purposes of a story, then like, you know, go ahead. Like not if you're not quoting your dad telling a joke, that's different. You know what I mean? But like, like in that situation, like we both should have said it because we had to dance around it and everybody listening was going, just say fag. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:35:58 I agree. I agree completely. I've always thought that. I mean, very early on in this podcast, I think it was literally the very first episode of this podcast. I told a story about my grandpa being racist and I said what he said, which included the N-word and I just said it because that was, so in 2016 and at the time,
Starting point is 00:36:13 and everybody, by the way, everybody was cool with it because, like I didn't get any kind of pushback from the people that listened or anything. And that first episode, a lot of people listened to a lot more than now. Yeah, for sure. And everybody was pretty much cool because like I said, yeah,
Starting point is 00:36:26 context and intent. I was telling a story about how like, how just inherently racist my grandpa was. And it's a story that really illustrates that quite effectively. And in that story, he says the N-word. And so in telling the story, I just said what he said. But in 2023, I would not do that publicly anymore. I mean, you know, it's like it's been established that that ain't the rules.
Starting point is 00:36:49 And it's always. And I just always thought like, you know, I used to be of the opinion like, well, it's kind of letting the other person off the hook a little bit. Of course it is. If you like censor what they say, like, if the point of the story is like, can you believe this shit? But more importantly, it ruins the flow of the goddamn story. Right. And also like that Louis bit was it's like also even when you censor it in that way, the people listening. What you said.
Starting point is 00:37:15 They still say it in their head. Yeah. Which is what saying a word is. Right. Now, like, dude, when I don't, when I'm reading Mark Twain, like, of course I say it. Now, I shouldn't say it louder than all the other words like I do. I shouldn't scream it out my window. It's funny that genuinely without meaning to.
Starting point is 00:37:34 On the June 10th episode, we have eventually made our way to, you know, really, you should be able to say the N-word sometimes. God damn. It's like Haley's comet. I mean shit. Come on. Obviously, y'all know exactly what the fuck we're talking about. And mainly what we're saying is that you should grow us people.
Starting point is 00:38:07 God damn, dude. That came back of nowhere. I know. We're forgetting about Bob Huggins, the fucking redneck coach. Well, I mean, he said the F word. Yeah, you're right. You're right. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Jesus fucking Christ, man. Just to close that out, he, uh, yes, please. He got, he got, I think he got a pay reduction for the first. Because, dude, again, he's like a local legend, been there for years. He had a lot of goodwill established and somehow hadn't really had any other scandals like this. Right. It's amazing. With the first one happened, he got a lot of people are saying, and I tend to agree, I think if one of these two things had happened to him this month.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Yes, he's fine. I think he would still have his job. But the fact that they happened back to back, basically, pretty much spelled doom for him. And he, I mean, he stepped down, but he, it's one of those deals like he stepped down because they were going to. I was about to say, correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard that, like, he went straight from after he got out, like, when he made bail or whatever, like, he went straight to the team and was like. Yeah. Yeah. You know, he knew the ride and was on the wall or whatever, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:11 I mean, he's going to coach somewhere else, though, don't you think? Probably eventually. Well, I don't know. He's old. That's true. That's true. The coaches go to their old, but I mean, 70s old. Yeah, I was about to say they do that, you know, in a good way.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Like, no, dude, not many people thought that Patino would get another fucking job. And like the end of the day, it's like, yeah, but he hits. Now, granted, Bob Huggins is not fucking Rick Patino, at least I don't think. To what I know about him, he's not Rick Patino. No. Well, speaking of saying in the N-word, you want to talk about Clinton Tarantino, right? I did. I did because I did because, God, Jesus, dude.
Starting point is 00:39:51 I swear to God, next year, we've got to remember. Yeah. All right, guys, it's Jim fucking Tenth. Let's just have, let's just, let's just, let's just put out an old episode. Yeah, and not one of these. Ice cream or something. Yeah, right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Chalk, which the best. Yeah. But I wanted, I wanted to talk about Tarantino because, like, there hasn't been, so, like, he's got to, he's, he is famously about to come out with his last movie that he all toured, right? You believe that. I believe that he believes it. You know what I mean? It's more of a musician thing. the director thing, but there's been like so many
Starting point is 00:40:27 famous people over the years who have been like, this is my last, whatever, and then they, it feels like they always come back to me. That's true, but they're old as fuck. Right. But even then, though. Gene Hackman or those guys, you know, like they left and they stayed gone, but usually, dude, they always come
Starting point is 00:40:42 back. But I think, I've heard some people say, he said, this is my last movie. He's not retiring. He still do TV or books and stuff. Well, that and he won't, and, it's not that that don't count, but I'm saying he's still going to be around doing shit. But this is his,
Starting point is 00:40:58 but this is his last movie that is his movie is what he said. Like, he wrote it. He's going to direct it. He has said that like, if anyone ever wants him to do Star Trek, he'll direct Star Trek. You know what I mean? But like, he says he's done writing and directing. Now, again, I say
Starting point is 00:41:14 in this business, never say never. But I do believe that he believes it. But I do think that for him, it would be, like, he'll probably have a fucking great time for the next 10 years just, you know, getting, you know how many offers he's going to get. Just like flipping through the offers and go, okay, great, I'll do that. And if it doesn't work, well, at least it's not, I mean, I didn't write it.
Starting point is 00:41:36 So, I mean, you know, whatever the script wasn't fucking good. I tried, you know, like, I think he'll have fun with that. And also, I mean, he's talked a lot about how he has written. Yeah, but I don't think he can, I mean, I could be wrong. But I don't think he could take a script and like, if he thinks it don't hit, just like, just do it as. is and then be like, well, it doesn't hit it. What do you want me to do? I don't think he's got that in him. I think he would like...
Starting point is 00:42:00 No, I agree. The directors have the wherewithal to do exactly that, so I think he would just you know, he'd fuck with it. He'd fuck with it in the Slater Tray. And at that point, it's like you're kind of, he's kind of still doing his thing anyway. Knowing him the way I don't. Right.
Starting point is 00:42:16 But knowing who I think he is. I think that he for a while has been watching what's going on. with television and thinking I would be really good at that. Like when he first started, like, back when fucking he first started making movies,
Starting point is 00:42:37 most actors or anybody wouldn't be caught dead doing fucking TV. Well, now, as you know, it's completely the opposite. So I think Tarantino's looking at like, I could get an overall deal with Apple TV, which by the way, they're like, dude,
Starting point is 00:42:50 they're, they right now are what I used to feel about HBO. Like they're not, they haven't earned it quite that yet because they're young, but like with Apple TV, they're a place where if they come out with something new, I give it a shot even if I don't give a fuck about whatever the thing is, because I'm like, it's going to be well made. So I think he's looking at stuff like that and going like, I want to tell these longer stories, you know, limited one, two season. And also, I don't know if you know this, but he has apparently already written 30 episodes of bounty law. What? Bounty Law from... Yeah. Yeah. What?
Starting point is 00:43:30 Once upon a time in Hollywood? Yes, right. Yes. Yeah. He's already written 30 episodes of bounty law. Yeah. And he said he's like, I just did it because I wanted to do it. I wanted to explore Rick Dalton, which, by the way, I don't know if you know this,
Starting point is 00:43:43 but Rick Dalton died the other day. Did you know that? No. Do you mean like within the universe once upon time in Hollywood? Within the universe of Tarantino. Just now died? Rick Dalton just now died. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:53 He was an old guy. He was an old guy. an old actor. How old? Well, I mean, that movie takes place in the 70s when he was in his, I'd say, it's 1969, ain't that when the Manson murders happened? That's true. And he was, I'm sure DiCaprio was playing a little bit younger.
Starting point is 00:44:08 Yeah, but that means 35 back then. Maybe. I mean, well, yeah, I mean, yes. He could have been in his 90s. 40, so 1929. So yeah, not even 100. Yeah, in his 90s. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:44:22 So, yeah. I don't live into his 90s is a good fucking run is what I'm saying. That's a great run. He was going pretty hard. Yeah, he was. But, you know, I mean, he had kind of a career resurgence. Maybe he pulled it together. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:44:34 But either way, in universe, he just now died. But, like, it wouldn't. I mean, dude, first off, you know for a fact. Tarantino signs a deal with Apple TV and they go, you know what? Make your own fucking bonanza. Let's do bounty law. I mean, I have to feel like DiCaprio would be like, yeah, I'll do TV. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:44:52 I'll do because Apple TV Apple Plus can fucking pay him. The only reason I could see him not is because like I mean it would just be a whole lot more of the same character. Yeah. For a longer period of time for a longer period time and all that stuff. Because I've heard people say before that like
Starting point is 00:45:08 apparently DeCaprio gets like he's like he's he's the number one is what I've heard. Like no one else is about like in terms of like hierarchy like he's he's number one on the overall call sheet that is Hollywood. I.e. He gets first pick of any leading man role that he wants in any movie that ever comes out.
Starting point is 00:45:27 Like if it's either, you know, if it's some big movie with a hitting, you know, leading man role in it, it's Leo's to turn down. It's Leo's to turn down basically is what, that's what I've heard. Yeah, but, you know. And so if he's like, if he's doing it, I mean, you know, he's got it at that level. And he comes from a page of prior to TV being what it is too. And it's like, and he's one of the very few guys who's still in. habits that world of like old school movie stars where it's like because there's not many of those dudes left that are like that. There's movies stars on that level. Brad Pitt and he's he still is.
Starting point is 00:46:04 I mean, dude, he's still like, you know, throwing women in the trash at the age of 25. I mean, this dude is old fashioned. All right. I know. And I love it. But, but so is, but, but, but we're talking about a scenario where Tarantino does television. This is a completely different world. You know what I mean? And what I'm. And what I'm. saying is, is that DeCaprio doesn't want to win more Oscars. I'm certain that they all want to win them all the time. But his mind might change now that he's got the Oscar. He could, in his mind, be like, okay, I did that. What about an Emmy? You know what I mean? Even though that's a step down, but like, you're seeing, you know, and I know that they're not in the same fucking
Starting point is 00:46:41 ball field, but like Harrison Ford is doing television right now. There's a lot of people on Apple TV that you wouldn't think would be doing television that are doing television. And again, this is Quentin Tarantino we're talking about. That's a guy most people do not say no to. So I'm not saying it's going to happen. I'm just saying that all the thoughts that Tarantino's having about, man, we're in the golden age of television. I'd like to try my hand at that.
Starting point is 00:47:05 Who's to say that DiCaprio doesn't have that same thought? Right. You're right. I just want to, I'm just now curious about it. It is different now. Like you said, for a long time, it was like, you wanted to do movies, you got into movies. You never go back to TV.
Starting point is 00:47:21 ever. If you did, it was like a death nail or whatever. If you were a big TV star, you'd leave and jeopardize your career to try to become a movie star, which is very hard to do. George Clooney, pulled a dog. What's his name? Didn't. David Simon. Not David Simon. Not David Simon. David Cameron from M.
Starting point is 00:47:38 Caruso. David Caruso. David Caruso. Yes. He's fine, though. Yeah, because he went back to TV. Right? But anyway, that's how the dynamic used to be. It's not anymore. You are right. But there are still a handful of people who seem to kind of like subscribe to that old model basically.
Starting point is 00:47:58 Julia Roberts. Yes. Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks. Rob Pitt, right. Tom Cruise. George Clooney.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Right. George Cooley. Yeah. You know, and even some, like Ryan Gosling, right? Ryan Gosling hasn't done. Yeah. That's true. Russell Crow, you know, like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:17 There are Hugh Jackman. Like, I mean, there's, you know, There are still people like that. No, I agree with you. You might see them all get sucked into TV, but it seems like some of them are still of that breed of like, yeah, maybe it's not a I don't do TV type thing for these people.
Starting point is 00:48:34 I don't want to be committed to one character. I want to do multiple things. Yeah, and I get it. I can't do movies as long as I want to do movies and I like movies, so I'm just going to keep doing movies type of thing. All I'm saying is I predict, because of the amount of money that they're throwing around,
Starting point is 00:48:47 I predict that Apple TV Plus could end up being a pair of. shift. I genuinely believe that. I think that it could end up being a paradigm shift to people who just, they want to try it out, you know, because I don't think that like, hey, like you said, there's not that stink anymore of like, oh, you did TV. No, right? There's not that. And I think that goes double for if the TV you do is Apple TV Plus or HBO. I think that, I think it goes double for those things. Like that, like what HBO and Apple TV is doing, it feels very, even their, all their television shows feel very cinematic and they feel very important. Like, dude, severance is fucking phenomenal. I can't.
Starting point is 00:49:32 Dude, like, you know that there was a ton of A-list actors that saw that and was like, I, that came across my fucking desk. And I didn't do it because it's TV. It did probably, you know why? Because, like, I was about that, I don't remember the exact details, but that script. I think. It's been being bounced around for a while. It floated around for like a long time. And that's always so crazy to me.
Starting point is 00:49:52 It's like that script. When you see it, you're like, when you see it, because here's what I tell myself all the time. It's somebody who's had multiple failed scripts, failed pilots or whatever. I always tell myself like, well, you know, some, because like, I had some. One day I'll write something that's a surefire thing. Exactly. Like I tell my, because I look at some, some people like break through out of, nowhere. Like they were, they were nobody.
Starting point is 00:50:19 Cali Cori. Now, now they hit real hard, right? Because of a breakthrough like that. Yes, Cali, Corey, plenty of people like, and I'm always fascinating when I find out someone like that, like a show that I like, was created or co-corate. Now, almost every time they have a shepherd, someone who does get with them, but like the creative driving force behind it is somebody who hadn't done shit before. That happens.
Starting point is 00:50:40 And I'm always like, and I always think like, okay, well, you know, sometimes an idea is just so good. or whatever, it just break. That is still possible to write something like that. And it certainly is possible. And when I watched Severance, I thought I was like, this is one of those things. This is one of those things that it's like,
Starting point is 00:50:57 this was just too good. Everybody ever had most bow, every time must profess, this was too good of an idea or concept to not do. But that's not what happened with that. That was, that script was just kind of floating around and not getting made and not getting,
Starting point is 00:51:12 you know, anything done with for, I think, like at least a couple or a handful of, of years or whatever. And then I think like Ben Stiller finally saw it or something. And Ben Stiller's the one who made it happen. I think. Do you think sci-fi just was in like a, you know, everything cyclical in Hollywood?
Starting point is 00:51:28 Do you think sci-fi was just on a down at that time? It feels like sci-fis, yeah. I'm sorry, but these, a lot of these people, some of them are good at their jobs, but a lot of these people that are in the roles of reading stuff, they don't, they don't know what hits. They don't. Right, exactly. They can't.
Starting point is 00:51:41 So they read that and they're like, I don't get it or whatever. Yeah. Or he might have been good at people. pitching. He might not have been good at pitching. In a trash bag or you know a desk drawer. Yeah. Sometimes never to be seen again, but then it can like come back
Starting point is 00:51:56 up. It's also the whole thing. It's all just such a goddamn crap shoot and people don't realize it because what that also means is like there's so many brilliant scripts that are in a desk door right now that will never see the light of day. Nobody will ever see it. And there's so many garbage ass scripts that get right every
Starting point is 00:52:12 goddamn day. Yeah. And that are airing right now. And it's like there's just really no rhyme or reason to fucking you know no and dude like you like people think that there's like some sort of formula but like you'll see movies all the time i won't say all the time but every now and then there'll be a movie you'll know the director the cast is completely banging the idea is great and then the movie somehow sucks you know what i mean like and and everyone tried their fucking best and that's why me and you like i think we're in the same vein of like we do our best not to shit on anything because it's like you know that they tried to do a fucking good thing like
Starting point is 00:52:46 Everyone in that room tried so goddamn hard. And yes, in hindsight, it's insane that they thought that would be good. But they did. And they gave it to go. But like Tarantino somebody, now they were back on Tarantino, who has never missed. And maybe he's got the wherewithal to be like, I got one more good one in me. And I want to be known as the guy who was 10 for fucking 10. And so all I know.
Starting point is 00:53:11 I get that too. And he's like, and I'll go do other things. but no one can ever take away my 1,000 batting average in my own film. So all I know about the movie is it's called the movie critic, right? But he's saying that the lead character in the cast, I don't think he's been announced. He's saying the lead, the lead character is going to be a movie critic in the style of fucking, I think it was, what did I tweet? It was Robert DeNiro's character and taxi driver. Yeah, Travis Bickle, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Obviously, the synopsis of the film hasn't been released yet, but like me hearing that Quentin Tarantino is making a movie called the movie critic, I have to assume that this is going to be his fuck you two movie critics, would you say, like making them out to, even though they've loved him for years. But what sort of like, do you have any speculation as to what the fuck this is going to be? I saw another article on Reddit about the same movie where he elaborated a little further, and he said that it was about this real life critic that he used to read, who was active in the 70s, but very much underground. And he was like a film critic for like some kind of porn magazine, but like not like for porn. Not like penthouse even. Right. Oh. Like like seedy.
Starting point is 00:54:35 Yeah. Like a seedy gross porn. magazine that for some reason had movie reviews and this guy this guy was like a porn magazine film critic who was like kind of I guess also you know just like a fucking wild motherfucker like a hundred as thompson type of dude or whatever like yeah but in the film critic world or something that I guess Tarantino always looked up to and that this movie's about that but there were people already speculating like yeah I think he's making that up I are like people were people were people were people were trying to figure out who that might be. Because he didn't say, he didn't say the guy's name. And there were people on the internet trying to figure out, like,
Starting point is 00:55:15 who that could have possibly been by looking into, like, who wrote movie reviews for Penthouse in the 70s or any, and like, no one can find anybody who seemed to actually fit that description. So a lot of people are speculating, like, he's,
Starting point is 00:55:29 this is all, yeah, bullshit or whatever. Yeah. And with Tarantino, dude, there's no fucking telling it all because I remember, I remember when once upon a time got Hollywood once upon a time in Hollywood got announced at this same stage right here we're at right now
Starting point is 00:55:42 it was something like quentin tarantino wants his ninth movie to be about the charles the manson family and he's eyeing tom cruise for the manson role right yep that was like the first shit that came out about it well dude charles manson is in that movie for 15 seconds do you know what i mean like right and it's not it's nothing like what it sounded like at first like which i think which Yeah. And so there's just no telling with this one is what I'm saying. Like, so who the fuck knows. But where does that? Where does a, where is a slap? Where does once upon a time in Hollywood rank for you in the Tarantino? Oh man. I just rewatched it on a plane. It's so good. And I'm a comedian and I think it's his funniest. It's his funniest. And so that puts it up there pretty far for me. It's just, it's just such a good time. It's so funny, but it's also such like a. love letter to a certain era of Hollywood and America and everything. And like, it's so well executed that whole part of it.
Starting point is 00:56:44 The like, I mean, of course, everything he's ever done is very well executed. Fire soundtrack. The two characters are great. It's very slice of lifey. You know what I mean? Getting those two guys together for us was such a nice thing to do. Yes. And you know, like there's those like slice of life movies like Richard Linklater does it and
Starting point is 00:57:00 like diner was a slice of life. Yeah. Nobody's full by Paul. Uh, portrait of, yeah, it's just like a moment in time, right? Yeah, these characters in certain parts. And you just see it unfold and it's not really like plot driven or whatever. Like it's just, it's just a snapshot of a moment in time or whatever.
Starting point is 00:57:18 That genre of movie. I love that. Once upon a time in Hollywood is one of those and it's like my favorite one probably. Because it's not up until the shit pops off at the end, it's all just, yeah. Character, character, character. That's all it is. Right. And dialogues to me, that's my.
Starting point is 00:57:34 Don't get me wrong. I love a good fucking shitty dialogue action movie. But like I, that's why Tarantino is my favorite is because like he's dialogue first. Like, yeah, like we were talking about with Aaron Sorkin. It's like,
Starting point is 00:57:48 yeah, nobody talks like this, you know, but like I don't give a shit because the way people talk, that don't hit for me. That's why I'm watching this fucking movie, you know. Hey,
Starting point is 00:57:58 can I give you this before? Brad Pitt says that that hippie at the end, the Manson hippie at the end or whatever. he's like, what was that you said about? And he's like, I'm the devil and I'm here to do the devil's business. He's like, no, I was dumber than that. My favorite part was when he hands DeCaprio his sunglasses and goes, here, put these on. Don't cry in front of the Mexicans.
Starting point is 00:58:18 One of the Mexicans, yeah. Hey, by the way, before we go back to Tarantino for just very briefly, I want to give you a suggestion for a slice of life movie that is very character-driven. And that is nobody's fool. It's a Paul Newman joint. It's a Paul Newman movie. came out in 1992. It is supremely underrated.
Starting point is 00:58:36 We had that in the video store. Melanie Griffith pulls or tities out. Ooh, shit, okay. Yeah, yeah, very good, very good movie. And yeah, there's no, there's literally no plot except for like, old man was bad dad, son comes home, they rekindle. It's fucking great. But I think, yeah, I think once upon time in Hollywood, like,
Starting point is 00:58:57 I didn't think it would because I was like, nah, I already know what my favorite Tarantino movies are. And then, like, it pretty well jumped up, maybe right under In Glorious Bastards. I agree. But what is in Glorious Bastards and Pulp Fiction is a 1A, 1B situation for me. For sure. Pulp Fiction I saw when I was much younger and it was way more like mind blowing. Like, what the fuck is the, like, blew everything wide open for me in terms of movies and what could hit and what hitting was and all that.
Starting point is 00:59:27 Like, it was very, it was formative. Pulp Fiction was. So, like, it's really hard to take that. that movie's place. Having said that, Inglorious Bastards ends with basically Tarantino himself saying, I think this might be my masterpiece. And I'm inclined to agree because it hits real hard, but also like, on a personal sentimental level, my dad who owned a video store growing up and is the reason I love movies, got me into movies. That's the last movie me and my dad ever saw in a theater together. It's hard for me to put anything above In Glorious Bastards either. So those two are my top two.
Starting point is 00:59:57 but I think Once Upon Time in Hollywood it comes in at number three just under those two for me in his Ouvre. And then it's, you know, take your pick after that. But I mean, I think Pulp's probably three for me
Starting point is 01:00:09 behind Once Upon Time in Hollywood, but that's not that I think once upon time in Hollywood's a better movie. It's just that like, dude, it's got everything I want. Like, it's Hollywood during a time
Starting point is 01:00:18 that I absolutely worship. It's funny. And it's fucking Brad Pitt and Leonard DiCaprio. Like, you can't get any better for me. But like, dude, sometimes,
Starting point is 01:00:26 like, and not anymore. now that I'm an adult and I've gone back and watched them both again. But there for a while, I like Reservoir dogs more than I like Pulp Fiction. Reservoir dogs is fucking awesome. It's awesome. Yeah, I love it. And of course, Django is absolutely amazing.
Starting point is 01:00:40 And he's just not, he's just like him and Nolan both, I guess, are the two guys who've never done something I don't like. Like, you know, I mean, like, I don't like it. I think like death proof is kind of just okay, in my opinion. But that's not. And also, I didn't even saw Tenet, right? No, no. No, no, I haven't seen Tenet because everybody told me. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:06 It's cool, but dude, it barely makes any sense. And it's not that. But see, I haven't seen it. So I can still stand by what I said. You know what I mean? No, I think Death Proof counts. Am I wrong about that? I think Death Proof is one of that.
Starting point is 01:01:19 I don't think I've ever seen death proof. Oh, okay. Because when you said that, I was like, that's not a Tarantino. What are we fucking? So I don't even know. But it was him and Robert Rodriguez did Grindhouse together, and Grindhouse was just a double-precious. The Kurt Russell shit.
Starting point is 01:01:31 The Kurt Russell shit. Yeah. And Robert Rodriguez, this was called Planet Terror. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I definitely saw that. In between the two movies, they had fake movie trailers, which is how Machete became a thing. Yes. I saw that when it first fucking came out, but I was living in.
Starting point is 01:01:47 The whole thing is like cool. No, no, I remember seeing it, but I saw it when it first came out and I was living in Fort Oglethorpe and I was fucked up on drugs. So I probably didn't really like see it, see it. It was just on while I was snorting coke. But I don't know, man. Kill Bill. Both are great. Yeah, Jackie Brown.
Starting point is 01:02:03 They're not my favorites, but they're great. Yeah, me too. Jackie Brown, hateful eight. Yeah, hateful eight, honestly, is the weakest one. I think we named them all, I think. Yeah, we did. Hateful eight's the, here's the thing. Hateful eight to me is the weakest one, and I love it.
Starting point is 01:02:18 Like, I think, we do it? Yeah. Yeah, I think, yeah, either death-proof, don't count or kill Bill counts as one movie, which I guess would be fair. Okay. I think it's that death proof don't count. I don't think that counts.
Starting point is 01:02:36 It's a full length. Like, I know it was a double feature, but the whole, but he did it with somebody else. He did it with Robert Rodriguez. Not really. Death proof is one self-contained movie that Quentin Tarantino directed. And then Planet Terror is one self-contained movie that Robert Rodriguez directed. And then
Starting point is 01:02:52 they bid those, they put those movies together as a double feature that they called grind house. Yeah, I think he's not counting that. From the two of them. Well, I don't think that's fair. Yeah, okay. Well, then maybe he is and you're right and he counts kill bill as one.
Starting point is 01:03:05 He counts kill bill as one. Five, six, seven, eight. If you count both kill bills as one movie each, he would have ten already with death proof. So he counts those as one. I bet. Either kill bill counts as one movie or death proof don't count one of the two, and I'm not sure which is which. And you're saying you disagree that death proof doesn't count.
Starting point is 01:03:25 So we're going to say that it's that kill bill counts. He's counting that as one movie. If I was a Quentin Tarantino, a biographer or whatever, I would be more inclined to count kill bill as one movie than I would be to discount death proof entirely because it's like a full-length movie that he directed. So it just was released in a kind of odd fashion.
Starting point is 01:03:42 Did he write it? Okay. Well, that's a guy. I mean, I think so. Because all the 10 is written and director. The death written and a half long. Okay, but did he write it? And directed by Quentin Tarantino.
Starting point is 01:03:54 Okay. All right. I just don't know how you don't count that just because it came out. They got to just count Kill Bill one and two as one movie. He probably does. Hell, dude, they might have even filmed them concurrently, and we don't fucking know. I have no idea. They might have Lord of Rings it.
Starting point is 01:04:07 Lord of the Rings did it. Yeah. I can't remember if it was one of those things where it's like, you know, because that became a thing. Harry Potter did that. Hunger Games did that. You had to do with kids. Where it's like you split the final, you split a movie into two, like, you know, as a cash. grab sometimes. I'm not saying kill bill is. I'm just saying like,
Starting point is 01:04:27 well also dude, I mean, if you've read the deathly hallows, there's no fucking way they could have done that in one movie. That's in my opinion. Like it's you, it's fine to write a 700 page book and call it one book. But if you want to turn that into a movie, like it's either got to be the Irishman length or you got to do too. And they cut a lot of shit out of these movies. But like, order the phoenix and halfbud prints are not that much shorter than Deadly Hallows and both got done in one movie. That's true. Well, but the last movie,
Starting point is 01:04:58 not the last movie, to be fair. Yeah. Well, dude, it's cash, too. I mean, it's fucking cash. Like, by that time with Harry Potter, I'm sure somebody suggested doing it in three fucking parts, you know. I mean,
Starting point is 01:05:11 but you're still making Wizarding World movies to this day. Yeah, right. They're not going to stop. Isn't it wild how much nobody gives a fuck about those movies? Like, Harry Potter was so fucking. huge and then as soon as Fantastic Beasts came out and everybody was like, we're good. Like, I mean, no, your own people watch them because they keep
Starting point is 01:05:28 making more. That's why, dude, that right there is why they're going to reboot the original Harry Potter story into a TV show, which I think is that does not hit for me. I do not think it's been long enough to do that. Okay. Hear me out.
Starting point is 01:05:44 That, to me, is a blatant cash grab. Well, yeah, yes. But hear me out. Hear me out. But that's why they're doing it is because they've proven that People don't care about the other... About the new stuff. They want the old shit. It's the, it's the Harry Potter story.
Starting point is 01:05:58 It catches everybody's heart. It's not like the universe like it is with Star Wars or MCU or whatever. Even with Star Wars, they, even with Star Wars, though, they like still hang on to Skywalker. It's the same thing. Yes. Yeah. So, okay, okay, but hear me out, though. I agree with you that it's too soon.
Starting point is 01:06:14 I mean, you know, granted, it has been fucking 20 years since the first movie. Actually, longer than that, you know? Oh, my gosh. Yeah, I know. I know, dude, it's a little bit longer than you think. And I mean, the books are fucking 30-something years old. So, so hear me out. If they make a seven-season show and each season is one book and so therefore all the stuff that they left out gets actually told properly, does that not kind of excite you a little bit?
Starting point is 01:06:47 I mean, I'm sure I'll watch it and I may end up getting sucked into it. It's just like, it's just, I know the story. I know it front and back. I know. But like if they actually explore all that shit, the real shit from the book in a serialized, I mean, I think I'm with you on this is where it's like, I don't know what it's going to be. I'm definitely going to give it a fucking shot. But like, I'm just saying, like, being someone who read the books after I watched the movies, and I love the fucking movies.
Starting point is 01:07:20 And I still love the movies. But having read the books, every time I go back and watch the movies, I love them a little less. Yeah. I honestly didn't, I liked but did not love any of the movies, really, because I had read all the books before the movies came out.
Starting point is 01:07:34 So I think I did it in the right way to where you can enjoy both. You know, because like the third movie, the time travel, which I know is your least favorite because you don't like time travel stuff, which is fair and fine. And I totally understand it. And frankly, ever since you've said that, it's, I've started to notice things about time travel shows that I go, oh, God damn it. So thank you for ruining something I've always loved.
Starting point is 01:07:56 But the third movie was always my favorite one. And then when I got to that book, that book, too, was at the, they all kept getting better until maybe the six. And I was like, well, that's still good, but not. But that was also my favorite book. So I was doing a thing where I'd read the book and then I'd go back and watch the movie. when I went back and watched Prisoner and Ascaband the movie, I have never been more disappointed and thought, how did you even like this?
Starting point is 01:08:22 And again, it's good. It's just like, after reading that book, I'm like, you fucking, they left this out. This is the best part. What the fuck? They made the map. How do you not fucking put that? Right.
Starting point is 01:08:38 You know? Yeah. I hear you, buddy. Well, listen. I love you. We're all overplay. I love you too. We should call it.
Starting point is 01:08:43 It's going to be. a heavy, Tray and Corey week in this universe in case y'all, no, thanks for watching us on skews last night, since you're listening to this on Wednesday, and then also Oh, am I doing skews this week? Yes. Nice.

Trey, first off, even if you hadn't asked me, I'd have fucking done it, but I was at the beach. Because now Mark is at the beach. Everybody goes to
Starting point is 01:09:09 a goddamn beach, which is fine. At summertime, it's what people do. But, yeah. Well, hell yeah. So me and you on the, thank you for listening to Skews. And this weekend, listen to putting on airs. It's me and Trey Show
