This is a HeadGum Podcast. We

0:07

got to talk about micro dosing.

0:10

Kind of fad that everybody's into

0:13

but yourself is truly into yours

0:15

truly not yourself maybe yourself but

0:17

yours truly aka me really enjoys

0:19

specifically my micro dose gummies from

0:22

Lumi Labs. They deliver perfect

0:24

entry level doses of THC that help you

0:26

feel just the right amount of good. So

0:29

if you're thinking to yourself, Gabriel, you don't need

0:31

entry level THC. Yeah, well, I'm

0:34

trying to cut back on my edibles

0:36

consumption and I'm really loving I'm going

0:38

to call them purple because I'm

0:40

a kid and call everything by

0:42

their colors not their flavors but

0:44

the purple the nighttime micro dosing

0:47

those gummies are wonderful. They've got

0:49

just the right combination of THC

0:51

and CBD to help me fall

0:54

asleep. It really helps with my sleeping.

0:56

So I highly recommend you get involved.

0:59

I've got the daytime gummies the

1:01

yellow ones if you're talking about I'm looking

1:03

forward to micro dosing those on this

1:07

upcoming weekend. Yeah, I'll be hitting those

1:09

a little bit to get in the

1:11

zone relaxed a little focused a little

1:13

energized getting a little knocking

1:15

the edge off as I like to say so micro

1:18

dose gummies they deliver

1:20

perfect entry level doses of THC that help

1:22

you feel just the right amount of good.

5:24

airport got it is our roles Yeah,

5:27

so we should well I keep telling

5:29

them as in us that we should

5:31

do that And

5:34

that's what you were doing when you were putting the cut What

5:41

said them that was like one of as

5:43

you know, I've been doing a lot of

5:46

parts work in therapy, right Which

5:49

why no cuz you wear it where you're

5:51

our you're our therapist as well. Yes.

5:53

Well, that's one of my parts We're all wearing a

5:55

lot of hats and look I'm gonna take some of

5:57

it on me because I haven't been wearing my botany

5:59

hat botanamist. Well,

6:03

how do I say it? You

6:05

say botanamist. Well, how do you say it? You

6:09

mean botanist, which is like someone

6:12

who studies bottoms. A botanist

6:14

is someone who's like, it's like an all-time

6:17

center, but all-time bottoms at the origin. You

6:19

just never touch it. It's also the lowest you

6:22

can go, the bottomest. It's

6:26

a position in the centipede. Yeah.

6:30

What do you call when somebody calls

6:32

QB the whole game? All-time.

6:35

All-time bottom. You guys do

6:38

whatever you want. I'll

6:42

be all-time bottom. If

6:44

you're out of the hurry, it's red. That's

6:48

what you want. You need an all-time bottom there.

6:51

And everybody wins. Anyway, we got fucking

6:53

stuff eating our pumpkins. We're trying to cash

6:55

in on the pumpkin craze

6:57

this year. Have you

6:59

guys ... I don't know. I'll open this up

7:01

to listeners. I am recording this. Has anybody

7:04

noticed this fall, pumpkins are

7:06

hot, red hot. And

7:08

this is the fall that it's happening. Yeah.

7:11

Yeah. It's more like ... It's

7:14

one fall. Pumpkins come and go and

7:16

are in shit and whatever, but this

7:18

year they're red hot and

7:21

ours are getting devoured.

7:23

Yeah. The Valverde

7:25

Gourd-Gisgarden that we've been

7:27

fucking getting

7:30

set up for since September.

7:33

Every single one has a big hole in it.

7:36

I pitched a Gourd garden. Everyone's

7:39

got one dripping hole and

7:42

we can't find one clean gap. There are

7:44

three different hole sizes.

7:48

Everyone's got three holes. A

7:51

couple just got one gap in one. But

7:54

like ... Someone had two holes

7:56

directly across from each other in the

7:59

bottom. whatever

8:01

is going at these pumpkins we

8:04

don't know what it is. I definitely thought it was

8:06

a critter yeah we've had we've talked

8:08

about a critter. Oh I'm sure listeners thought

8:10

maybe it was critters we thought it was

8:12

maybe ghouly maybe. We thought it was

8:14

a ghouly we thought it was a gremlin we thought

8:16

it was hell we thought it

8:18

was a magwai pre gremlin maybe. Yeah we

8:21

thought it was a magwai eating before midnight

8:23

I mean who knows what the fuck they

8:25

have during the daytime. Who knows what these

8:27

magwai feeding windows are these days if

8:30

they're on the 18-6 Spartan warrior.

8:32

Hey you know what while we're

8:34

on magwai I hate to

8:36

sound like a shock jock but

8:38

I'll say it we're all thinking it.

8:40

Somebody shoot Gizmo in the fucking head and

8:42

end all the problems. I

8:45

know he's cute but like it's time

8:47

to euthanize it down. When you break

8:49

it down and he's dancing he's having

8:52

fun we love him yes I get

8:54

it but he has caused billions

8:57

of dollars in damage chaos.

8:59

Could we get that girl that

9:02

convinced her boyfriend to kill himself

9:04

to get involved? Oh yeah.

9:06

Then maybe our hands are clean she could

9:08

just start texting Gizmo some negative shitting just

9:10

get him to kill himself. Yeah.

9:13

Because it's like she likes doing that then

9:15

it's you know Gizmo has some agency and

9:18

you know maybe it's a little grace

9:20

note for her. We can tell that

9:22

one guy that Gizmo came up with the

9:24

whole avoid the noid campaign and that

9:27

might take care of it. Yeah it's

9:31

like we but are we do are we creating

9:33

a Simon Phoenix situation you know what I mean?

9:35

We can you fucking don't ask permission say

9:37

you're sorry later that's the way it works

9:40

man that's what I learned in the CIA.

9:43

And then we have to bring something up.

9:45

Obviously we're all psyops. Oh shit hey Kevin

9:47

edited out I haven't announced I'm psyops yet.

9:55

Anyway these fucking pumpkins we're gonna lose

9:57

this we're gonna lose this deal. we

10:00

have for the spice lattes

10:02

with original Pete's.

10:05

Yeah, Pete's is trying to get in the spice

10:07

game. It's separate

10:10

than our pumpkin stuff, but they kind

10:12

of like a gourd as part of

10:14

a gift. They have sort of a sick

10:18

ritual that they do when signing deals,

10:21

so they demand a gourd. It's

10:23

really, Pete's is a very

10:25

earthy company. And we have

10:27

to go with the suits with

10:29

the shirtless ones. Yeah. They made me

10:32

wear that suit that like recycled my

10:34

urine and sweat, I guess, for the

10:36

spice deal. I don't know. Oh,

10:38

yeah. They

10:41

made me go shirtless in a cloak

10:43

with a pentagram painted on my chest.

10:46

I believe I remember. Scrambled

10:48

and naked in some way. I'm

10:52

like, what am I, a fucking omelet without

10:55

any cheese on it? Or

10:58

ham? Not

11:01

one of my scrambled eggs, but

11:04

what am I? Hey, how do you get

11:06

it into? I don't know what

11:08

to do with this omelet. Do

11:11

you scramble the eggs before you make the omelet?

11:14

Or do you just is

11:16

the scramble process happen in the pan

11:18

or is that whisking before is technically

11:20

the screen? It's been before is a

11:22

scrambling. Well, don't you think it's beating

11:24

deals? Yes, that's what I think. I

11:27

think I'm with the gabers on this one. No, you just

11:29

think the eggs is a scramble.

11:31

That's your rambling mind. This is the

11:33

most. What about like, what about a fucking

11:35

fried egg is a fried egg scrambled? It's

11:38

congealing. No, it's not. No, it's not.

11:41

It's not congealing. Wait a minute. No,

11:43

I just saw a ferret. The exact

11:46

circumference of my pecker run by. I

11:48

swear. Did you guys get that? That's

11:50

mine. That's not invasive.

11:55

No, that mother fucker is invasive. Just not in

11:57

the gourds. Trust me. I got a fucking You

12:00

sleep with hostage tape over your mouth, I gotta take

12:02

my ass shut at night. Yeah, I do that too.

12:04

Are they think- are these- I'm sleeping like a fucking

12:07

baby. I mean, are these fair to talk about- Are

12:09

these- Hold on, Stanger. No, go

12:11

ahead, go ahead. Hold on, like, just, I hate to-

12:13

people taking on- No, no, no. Podcasts,

12:15

I hate to do ads right now, but I've

12:17

been sleeping. Fucking-

12:20

I've been getting my sleep score is

12:22

off the fucking charts. I've been putting

12:24

hostage tape over my asshole and my dickhole.

12:26

Okay, so you cover your urethra- You keep

12:29

all the nitrogen in. It keeps

12:31

everything in, it keeps everything contained. Human beings

12:33

were designed to have corks in their asses

12:35

while they're sleeping. Okay, yeah, we'll read about

12:37

it. It's like, people have been doing it

12:39

since- For eons. Yeah, who knows? Yeah, who

12:42

knows? Every

12:45

time I peel the tape off in the morning,

12:47

a huge fucking worm comes out with it though,

12:50

like, six- I don't know if it's a new

12:52

one every day, or like the same one, and

12:54

I'm just getting new pieces of it, or what?

12:56

To be fair, I let him go, and then

12:58

he goes right into my feeding trough, so I

13:00

might be eating them over and over again. Oh,

13:02

do you? Yeah. Like

13:04

a poltergeist two situation, but out your asshole.

13:06

Now that we did this native ad, Stanger,

13:08

what was your favorite question? Oh,

13:11

I'm just- I just thought that maybe

13:13

these ferrets have been trained to

13:15

crawl into asses, and they were walking around thinking

13:17

these pumpkins were asses. Yeah,

13:19

these pumpkins do look a lot like asses, right?

13:22

For a ferret. I mean, that's how we do

13:24

a ferret. Yeah. Well, that's how

13:26

we designed them. They look like giant asses. Asses

13:28

are hot. I mean, it wasn't on purpose- Yeah,

13:31

it wasn't on purpose, but yeah, the moles

13:33

have to put the pumpkins on, and like,

13:36

do look like asses. They

13:38

do look like my neighbor's ass. Who's

13:42

also you, by the way? Well,

13:45

yeah. We're our own neighbors. Mr.

13:49

Rogers. Welcome

13:51

to Action, boys! There's

14:22

a lot of like, um, like

14:24

people making effort noises and pain sounds

14:27

and stuff to really sell how high

14:29

stakes a virtual environment is. Uh,

14:32

it's just like when I put my fucking

14:34

PS5 on. What

14:39

did you do to me, Dr. Angelo?

14:42

Dr. Angelo is just like a fucking

14:44

porno name. It's so funny. Well, yeah,

14:47

this movie does kind of ask the

14:49

question of what if Flowers for Algernon

14:51

got a erotic

14:54

thriller overlay? Like

14:56

what if we did a soft

14:58

porn version of Flowers for Algernon?

15:00

I think everybody's asking for

15:02

it. I never, I, I will

15:05

just crack, get cracking right now. I had

15:07

thought for the longest time I had seen

15:09

this movie. I think I just saw enough

15:11

of like a trailer and talked about it

15:13

enough or saw some clips. This

15:16

movie is unlike anything I thought

15:18

it was going to be. Now I suspected

15:20

you had not seen it because when we

15:22

first started the show, we were

15:25

talking about Charlie and Flowers for

15:27

Algernon and I brought up

15:29

Lawnmower Man and you guys both

15:31

looked at me like I was out of my fucking mind.

15:35

And that is not, and that is not the

15:37

first time that has happened to me. And I

15:39

don't think Lawnmower Man to me is one of

15:41

those movies I just assumed a lot of people

15:43

saw. I've seen it for sure.

15:45

I thought the movies, it turns out a lot

15:47

of people have not seen it. So you are

15:49

definitely not alone, gamers. Yeah. And I'm

15:52

sure a lot of people are going to be experiencing it for

15:54

the first time, though I want to point out like throughout

15:56

the run of the podcast people have been asking us

15:58

to cover this movie. Yes, and I

16:02

I had no idea about the

16:04

specifics that he was developmentally disabled

16:06

I knew nothing about cybo man and the

16:08

monkey. I don't even know if that's in

16:10

the theatrical version No, it's not Which

16:13

makes me want to watch the directors cut because

16:15

I could go for definitely more of Roscoe 138

16:17

the chimp dude I

16:20

could watch a little bit, but I like when

16:22

reading he's in the beginning these are the beginning

16:24

So if you want to watch it, he's in

16:26

only the first act It's it's I just can't

16:28

ten minutes is a fact a monkey with a

16:30

robot with a robot Well, we have let me

16:32

explain. Let me explain. Okay, okay This

16:35

movie is an hour and 42 minutes long

16:38

the theatrical cut. That's what I

16:40

now the years

16:43

later They made

16:45

a directors cut of the lawnmower man this movie

16:47

that was pretty much not

16:49

well received made a good deal

16:51

of money they Lied

16:54

about it being a Stephen King story. It's

16:56

it's a bullshit use of his name. He

16:58

sued them. He won and They

17:01

eventually re-released it as a

17:03

director's cut and it is

17:06

two hours and 20 some minutes long So

17:08

that's 40 minutes. They added on to this

17:10

movie now Well

17:12

when we covered the Richard Donner cut we talked

17:14

about just going with the original cut from here

17:16

on out if we can find It now

17:19

I must say Stanger luckily realized

17:21

the theatrical cut was streaming on to

17:23

be which is why I watched

17:26

that one And

17:28

also I had seen it before and I really

17:31

wanted to re-experience the movie I had

17:33

watched Because I haven't

17:35

watched it in quite some time, but gabers

17:37

pointed out to us Pretty

17:39

hard to find the theatrical cut

17:41

they've buried it like renting it

17:43

on action on fucking the Amazon

17:46

Apple it's all the director even if it's

17:48

screaming for free on prime as the directors

17:50

cut even when it says Our

17:53

40 minutes on the Apple one I bought

17:55

it and when I bought it it was

17:57

the directors cut at two out They like

18:00

It was just like a misrepresentation. And

18:03

it's very frustrating. It's like fucking Bob Iger

18:05

pops up and says, ha ha ha, you

18:07

got the director's cut. Ha ha ha, you

18:09

got the director's cut. Now

18:13

I'm glad Gabor's watched the director's cut. We're

18:15

going to have a lot of different takes

18:17

on what actually happened. Obviously

18:20

I read what was added into

18:22

the director's cut. Knowing

18:25

the movie though, knowing what

18:27

we had at the base, I

18:29

know there's no real like

18:32

fixing lawn mower man. No.

18:35

What I saw wasn't like, oh

18:38

I see what they did. This is pretty good.

18:43

I will say it's better than I thought

18:45

it was. I loved it. As a

18:47

kid, I loved it. Not only did I love it, it

18:50

kind of haunted me a little bit in

18:52

a weird sort of way. And I thought

18:54

it didn't this time, but I

18:57

do think the ending is very

18:59

good. Now let's get into the

19:02

Stephen King drama a little bit. I'm

19:04

sure Stanger re-listened to

19:07

the short story. The

19:11

short story was on Graveyard Shift, which

19:14

was a pretty fun book. It's a really

19:16

fun one. Short stories. To

19:19

me, I don't have

19:21

verification of this, but it's classic

19:25

beer guzzling Stephen King. Yeah,

19:27

I agree. He's way out there and he's

19:29

like not precious about anything. It's why probably

19:31

lawn mower man made it in there. And

19:34

lawn mower man is a very short

19:36

story. It's a very, very short story.

19:41

There's an audiobook version of

19:43

it read by the great

19:45

actor John Glover. Speaking

19:47

of Grammelins, he was in Grammelins 2. He

19:50

played the kind of rich,

19:53

CEO, Trump-esque, real

19:55

estate baron in

19:58

New York. I love that dude. Great voice,

20:00

great hair. So he reads

20:02

this. And you can always tell an

20:05

audiobook is top notch if they don't

20:07

bother re-recording a like

20:10

1991 recording of it. I

20:15

re-listen to it and I got to tell you, who

20:18

would you cast as this part for the

20:20

Lawn Motorman? It's two characters.

20:24

It's a

20:27

New England Republican guy in the

20:30

80s with an

20:32

overgrown lawn and he

20:34

can't find anybody to get a mose lawn. It's

20:37

classic Stephen King stuff of

20:39

like these two kids were

20:41

busy, one kid went away and all

20:44

these guys are taking his daughter out and he's like

20:46

having sort of a midlife crisis.

20:48

Then he calls this company and they send

20:50

over a guy. He's

20:53

fat, he's salt of the earth, he's

20:55

got an endless

20:58

string of traveling

21:01

salesman jokes that he knows. He's

21:05

super confident, scares

21:08

this guy. Then it

21:10

turns out that he's a mythological

21:12

creature like a goat. He

21:17

worships Pan. He worships Pan

21:19

and he's there for a sacrifice

21:21

and he gets naked in the yard and he's

21:23

like controlling

21:26

the lawn with his mind. I'm thinking the whole

21:29

time I'm like, man, Gabor's would

21:31

have a fucking blast doing this in

21:33

a movie. Yeah, because there's a fantasy

21:35

element and the guy has to be

21:37

able to move well because he's telekinetically

21:40

controlling the Lawn Motor but he crawls

21:42

behind it. He's

21:44

got to move like a spider, be able to

21:47

move well and be able to talk. I think

21:49

he would have so much fun being a bad

21:51

guy like this where it's like, hey buddy, how

21:53

you doing? It's

21:56

got a little bit of like cable guy energy

21:58

to it. But it's

22:02

almost like Kafka ask, or

22:04

I don't know what the

22:06

sub-genre is, but it's someone

22:10

going insane or is this really

22:12

happening to me? Yeah.

22:15

Where- Like a Jacob's ladder kind of-

22:18

You can't believe this is- I think it's like

22:20

a yuppie being encroached on by the middle class

22:22

and all that stuff too. Yeah, that's like a

22:24

zone genre as well, yeah. And

22:27

then the scene at the end of

22:30

the story is the only thing that

22:32

got transferred from- There's a couple things.

22:36

The lawnmower driving by itself,

22:38

then going through the door and

22:40

chasing the guy down, and

22:43

then the- And the fact that it's

22:45

a big red kind of super powered

22:47

lawnmower too. Yeah, the name

22:49

big red, I think it's in both of them. And

22:52

then the

22:54

scene with the cop, Beryl from

22:58

Bosch. Yeah. That's

23:01

the holy taken from the short

23:03

story, that little moment of it.

23:05

Like- How to end the bird bath.

23:07

Bird bath, yeah. So

23:10

that's it. So Steven, they promote the shit out of

23:12

this movie when it came out in 1992, which I

23:14

very much

23:16

remember. It came in number two at the

23:19

box office behind Wayne's World. It

23:23

was advertised as Stephen King's The

23:25

Lawnmower Man. And

23:28

so Stephen King sees a movie, it

23:30

is absolutely nothing to do with his

23:32

story whatsoever. And

23:34

he is very generous and liberal

23:36

with adaptations of his shit. Yeah,

23:39

he's vocal that it's a different

23:41

art form, it's completely understandable. But

23:44

you got to imagine going in to go see

23:46

an hour and 40 minute version of your seven

23:48

page story, you're like, what the fuck did these

23:50

guys run with? He likes

23:53

crap too. I mean, I'm sure he was probably

23:55

excited to see like, how are they going to

23:57

fucking do this in a movie? I think if it was

23:59

like a- Like a cult of

24:01

pan worshipers who are sacrificing people

24:03

using a lawnmower. He would have

24:06

been totally cool with that. I

24:09

think he was right to

24:11

be angry and his case was accurate

24:13

because he's thinking they are using

24:16

my name to sell tickets and they

24:18

are tricking people. To someone else's movie. And

24:21

what's fucked up, and I bet you this got

24:23

his goat pretty good, is doesn't

24:26

it feel like they

24:28

are trying to make their own version of

24:31

a Stephen King movie? Yeah,

24:33

because they throw in the shop and

24:35

all that kind of stuff. That's all

24:38

Stephen King elements. And

24:40

I think there even is a shop in Tommy

24:42

Knocker's. There is, yeah. It's a Stephen King concept.

24:44

It's in a few according to the... I

24:47

don't know as much about King as you guys, but

24:49

it's in a few things. The shop is

24:51

in the mist and it's their... It's

24:54

in the Outland Galleers, yeah. They

24:57

do a lot of the Americana-esque shit with

24:59

even... The

25:02

gas station, the alcoholic brother of

25:04

the priest. These all

25:06

feel like Stephen King characters. The

25:09

alcoholic groundskeeper

25:12

feels very Salem's

25:14

lot. The

25:17

drunk dad who beats up Peter

25:19

feels almost like they fully

25:22

ripped it out of Silver

25:24

Bullet. Even in

25:27

the movie Silver Bullet, there's an

25:29

almost identical scene where instead of

25:31

a lawnmower, it's the

25:33

werewolf and the guy's even watching wrestling

25:35

on TV. It's almost the same fucking

25:38

thing. Yeah, and the horniness.

25:42

The horniness, even the mysterious neighbor

25:44

that's hot, that's horny and likes to give

25:47

it up and all that kind of... I

25:49

think that goes back to what Gabriel said

25:51

about the Americana. It's

25:54

a little bit of like... Lemonade. Yes. Yeah.

25:58

Like everybody goes to the one... old-timey

26:00

our locations are an

26:03

old-timey gas station with that it

26:05

has full service a church is

26:07

like a shed mirror a church

26:09

a diner three suburb houses that

26:11

are next to each other even

26:14

fucking dr. Larry Angelo is like

26:16

small town with his British accent

26:18

and good British accent glasses basement

26:20

treadmill like everything that is just

26:22

like wealthy elite shit so I

26:25

love to like I love our

26:28

lawnmower man look he

26:30

Jeff Faehe yes yeah

26:33

Jeff Faehe he gave

26:35

us called out his character on

26:37

lost right which was kind of like my entree

26:40

into who he was okay well he's a buffalo

26:42

guy so he is he is

26:45

from my hometown and he does

26:47

have a good

26:49

voice I've

26:51

got like a touch of the buffalo

26:54

accent with probably 30 years of smoking

26:56

under his under his belt I like when he

26:58

starts to get smart it's like of course

27:01

dr. Angelo like it gets into like

27:03

a little gravel I mean this movie

27:07

presupposes that's as smart as you get

27:09

the worst person you become but

27:12

he's got a real I want to talk about

27:14

Jeff Faehe for a second he's got a classic

27:16

to me soft core

27:18

b-movie vibe yeah younger I

27:21

think his his his

27:23

career kind of changed with

27:25

lost and when he got

27:28

a little bit older because

27:30

I think he aged into

27:32

a more acceptable character when

27:34

he was a middle-aged man

27:37

there was a sexy sleaziness to him

27:40

like all those shots of him shirtless

27:42

and like having sex he doesn't come

27:44

off as like wholesome at all yeah

27:46

even like sexy in

27:49

a universally appealing way right

27:52

it seems like very cinemax

27:54

late at night it seems

27:56

gross it seems pornographic good

27:58

villain in Silverado I

28:00

mean, I think he's a really good actor. I oh

28:03

I've got a shout out my my

28:05

buddy Quentin He um he works at

28:07

a coffee shop near me and I

28:10

got a coffee and I was

28:12

he listens to the podcast And I

28:14

was like I'm about to go record Lawnmower

28:17

man. He's like Jeff Daniels, right? I'm

28:19

like no, it's actually deaf faith, but it's

28:21

I understand why he's got the dumb and

28:24

dumber haircut And

28:27

like that wardrobe like with the Pink

28:30

crew neck the overalls on it. Yeah, holy

28:32

shit. It is Harry I didn't even put

28:34

that together and I was like yeah He

28:36

they got the look for Harry from dumb

28:39

and dumber from the lawnmower man I

28:43

said simple Jack was my literal reference point. I

28:45

said it to Gil this morning at breakfast He's

28:47

like I remember that movie being kind of scary

28:49

and I was like I thought it was

28:51

a scary movie too when I was A kid, but

28:53

I guess I didn't see it because it's like comical

28:55

now as a grown-up My

28:58

imaginary friend that I said I was doing lawnmower

29:00

man today and they had something funny to say

29:02

about it, too Anyway, go ahead. So the other

29:04

actor I want to call out is well

29:07

There's two really because there's a couple

29:09

character actors who know exactly what the

29:11

fuck they got themselves into and they

29:13

do not give a fuck The first

29:15

being the great Jeffrey Lewis. Oh, we've

29:18

seen he's not done again everything and

29:20

he just He seems like

29:22

a crazy guy who's just like, you know what?

29:25

I'm wearing a wig in this one Yeah, I

29:27

did this one. It's like, you know what? I

29:29

talked with an Irish bro. I know and when

29:31

I forgot that they were set up As brothers

29:33

when later on they're like is my brother about

29:36

giving you penance? I'm like wait Over

29:42

later from the Ireland our

29:45

listeners know double impact he

29:47

took Chad. Yes

29:51

Yeah, he took Chad so

29:53

and then also he's Juliette Lewis his dad,

29:55

which is interesting. But yes, we've

29:57

seen him I mean, he's been in a million things He's

30:00

been in a million things we've even done

30:03

already. Yeah. And we'll

30:05

see him again when we do Chuck Norris

30:07

in Clint Eastwood's movie Any Which Way But

30:09

Loose. He's in Ten to Midnight. He's in

30:11

like tons of Clint Eastwood stuff. He's

30:15

in a few Clint Eastwood movies. Clint

30:17

must have really liked him. He

30:19

was in some movie that we- He's in Tango and Cash. I

30:23

think he's in Tango and Cash, but

30:25

I think he's uncredited possibly. He's uncredited,

30:27

correct. He's uncredited and he wears a

30:29

wig. We talked about it in

30:31

when we covered the movie. Yeah. Because

30:34

it's funny that he's like, fuck it. I'll do it. I

30:36

don't care. You don't even have to pay me.

30:38

I'm just going to wear a wig and be crazy. The

30:41

movie I recognize him from, which will be a

30:43

movie we do at some point, if not soon,

30:46

is only The Strong, the Capoeira movie.

30:48

Oh yeah. Yeah. I

30:51

love that movie. With the fucking top-

30:55

The Chef guy that does- I love that guy.

30:57

Mark the Cocker. We've

31:00

got Dean Norris also

31:02

making a big choice. Way

31:04

over said. Playing this, really

31:06

against type for him. He's

31:09

like, oh, I'm going to be

31:12

a Ivy League educated- Guy

31:14

on a screen. Yeah, I know. Yes.

31:19

I mean, it's a disastrous performance. But

31:21

he just doesn't give a fuck. That's

31:24

the exact attitude. Then of

31:26

course we get Austin O'Brien.

31:29

The kid from Last Action Hero? Yes. The

31:32

kid from Last Action Hero. He's got a small role.

31:35

That's one of those things that takes you a minute to be like,

31:37

wait, where do I know this kid from? Oh yeah.

31:40

He doesn't have a small role in

31:42

the director's cut. He's kind of a-

31:44

He's got a very important role in

31:46

the theatrical cut. Oh,

31:49

okay. Okay. Not a ton of

31:51

screen time, but very important screen time for the movie, whether

31:53

it's good or not. And

31:55

his family name is Parquet. He's Peter

31:58

Parquet. He's like, just come on. Then

32:02

we've got, of

32:04

course, our lead who

32:08

I'm very curious what your opinions on.

32:11

Here's Brosnan. I

32:16

really like his performance because he's

32:18

what the movie needs because it

32:20

doesn't matter what kind of stinker

32:22

he's in. He is

32:24

going to really try his

32:27

fucking ass off. His acting is

32:29

good. His problem

32:32

is that he looks like a movie

32:34

star, so when he's supposed to be

32:36

this computer nerd who doesn't want to

32:38

leave his house, you kind of don't

32:41

ever fucking buy it. I

32:45

do think we really, really missed

32:47

out. Pierce Brosnan did a lot

32:49

of comedies of all different stripes.

32:54

Brosnan did, I think, a pretty

32:56

over-the-top performance in an

32:59

over-the-top bad movie, in my opinion, Mars

33:01

Attacks. I

33:04

wish we would have gotten a Pierce

33:06

Brosnan naked gun

33:09

level spoof airplane.

33:13

Playing it absolutely straight. He would

33:15

have fucking destroyed on

33:18

a level of Robert Stack. I

33:20

would say I think you think

33:23

that because we just watched it. This

33:26

lawnmower man is like three notches away

33:28

from what you're describing. It's

33:30

so close. He's playing it super

33:32

straight to a movie where a guy's got a

33:34

blonde wig on and he's like, I want to

33:36

have sex. He's

33:38

like, my

33:40

subject is getting ... Even the fucking

33:43

monologuing? That's

33:45

fucking ... That's real hair. That's real

33:47

hair. That's no wig. Supposedly, they dyed

33:49

it bright red. They were like, this

33:51

looks ridiculous. We better just bleach it.

33:54

It looks mad stringy when it's

33:56

bleached, so it has a simple jack

33:59

or ... Beastmaster kind of look

34:01

the funniest like I had

34:03

to laugh out loud when they're like he

34:05

starts to become smart and handsome Quote-unquote

34:08

handsome and they had the two

34:10

of them together and they're clearly like

34:13

Last looks fresh out of the

34:15

makeup chair with their both their

34:17

hairs blow-dried You'd think like

34:19

as a director Brett Leonard or whatever his

34:21

name is would be like, okay guys We

34:24

got a dial back the hair just a little

34:28

Right, it's getting fucking crazy like

34:30

both these guys have fucking hair

34:32

like goddamn beast man and

34:34

fucking Masters of the Universe Too

34:38

much like perfect go off. Yeah

34:40

now We

34:43

broke we mentioned his name so we should

34:45

talk about him Brett Leonard the writer director

34:47

the the brains of this outfit He

34:50

you wouldn't be surprised to

34:53

to learn that he also directed Virtuosity

34:56

makes total sense. This guy is

34:58

like obsessed with screen savers He's

35:02

still in the VR field like

35:04

he's he's doing This

35:07

company that's supposed to do

35:09

use like VR to enhance

35:12

mental health Along with

35:14

psychedelics so like I'm like

35:16

literally the the premise of this

35:18

movie. Yeah, it truly is It's

35:21

like it's using like new tropics

35:23

and psychedelics. You mean you tropics

35:25

new tropics Enhanced

35:28

by like a in

35:30

like an immersive environment through virtual reality So

35:32

doing like MDMA or some shit like that

35:34

and virtual reality is it's like yeah, like

35:36

that kind of shit Yeah, and then they're

35:39

doing it like with you know people that

35:41

have suffered PTSD and stuff so that they

35:43

can like, you know experience

35:46

You know controlled versions of what initially caused

35:49

the trauma and then like rewire how they

35:51

respond to it and do behavior I mean,

35:53

it sounds all pretty interesting, you know I

35:55

do think there's something to be said about

35:57

if you just cross out virtual

36:00

reality in this movie and

36:02

scribble in AI where

36:05

like there's a little bit more of

36:09

a message there that you could take away from it.

36:11

He kind of tried to do that in virtuosity. Yeah,

36:15

I do think virtual reality is bullshit

36:17

and it is really funny that this

36:20

movie that's 31 years old now is

36:23

talking about it like it's the future and

36:26

there's always new waves

36:28

of VR. I

36:30

did a VR commercial with Vinnie

36:32

Chase, Adrian Grenier, where I played

36:34

like a delivery man directed

36:37

by our friend Eric and

36:39

I walked in and there was like a camera

36:42

on like a robot with like a

36:44

big like ball on top of it

36:46

and it was and like I don't

36:48

know anyone who watched the VR Sam's

36:50

like commercials in VR seems like a

36:52

crazy thing to be like I can't

36:54

wait to strap in and watch ads

36:56

like that feels fucking bananas. I

36:59

read some interviews with Brett Leonard

37:01

who is an interesting guy and

37:03

and a smart guy. I was

37:06

a savvy director but the movie

37:08

looks super expensive. Except

37:10

for the reality the VR

37:12

stuff. He got lucky because

37:16

he hired this production designer who ended

37:18

up going on to work with Spielberg

37:20

and do Minority Report. There's some memorable

37:22

stuff in there. Yeah

37:27

and so I think he got lucky and

37:29

who he hired there but his take on

37:31

VR was like he said the problem is

37:33

is that it keeps getting siloed for entertainment

37:35

and it's like it can do other stuff. It's

37:37

just like we've kind of maxed out what it

37:40

can do from an entertainment standpoint but that's

37:42

always where it heads and he was like

37:44

there's other there's other ways that you could

37:46

use this. I just would

37:48

just before you continue your point as far

37:51

as his point on the entertainment stuff I

37:53

think the the issue from

37:55

my experience with it is it's

37:58

not friendly to narrative storytelling. Yeah

38:01

The the medium doesn't work for that. I

38:04

mean exactly what he's talking about sounds part where

38:06

it's like oh, yeah, let

38:08

people reenact stuff in a With

38:11

like under the the guide

38:13

of someone with like the help of

38:16

psychedelic drugs I can kind of picture

38:18

that being like helpful for people but

38:20

like as far as connecting

38:22

with the character and Watching

38:25

them experience them. I just don't think it

38:27

will just like interactive theater versus real theater

38:29

It's like it's one thing but it doesn't

38:32

feel as rich as just sitting there and

38:34

watching a presentation But say or what what

38:36

else was he saying? Oh,

38:38

and he was saying that in trying to

38:40

make sense of like the computer graphics that

38:42

they used He was like it

38:45

was he was like again. We were limited

38:47

by budget, but he said I stand by

38:50

the The

38:52

effects when they're in the virtual space

38:54

because he was like we weren't trying

38:56

to create something that was photo real

38:59

So he was like it's supposed to feel

39:01

like a virtual space So he's like I

39:03

wanted it to feel psychedelic and he was

39:05

yeah I don't criticize any of the the

39:07

the the effects that I would be critical

39:10

of are the guys turning into balls Yeah,

39:12

cuz that's in the real world so that

39:14

wouldn't happen. It wouldn't be a digital thing

39:16

happening in the real world They would just

39:18

blow up or something I like when that

39:20

like the horn the gross horniness of like

39:22

the two people fucking and turning into like

39:24

a bird There's like a tacky kind of

39:26

like LA Shitiness

39:29

to it. Yeah, like those like

39:31

spiritual posters you see and yeah

39:35

This movie is sitting at a bar with

39:37

with barbed wire Like

39:39

talking about the industry. Yeah, you know they're

39:41

not like the same movie, but they're like

39:43

hanging out at the same place Remember they're

39:45

like I'm gonna you like you like the

39:47

thing I'm do yeah You love the term

39:49

spiritual sequel, so I think that you could

39:52

throw it around here if you'd like fucking

39:54

90s were awesome Like

39:58

those paintings of dolphins and stuff

40:00

Dude that were in outer space

40:02

that shit was fucking great I

40:04

didn't about incubus Brett definitely isn't

40:06

lacking any confidence to have

40:08

the balls to be like You

40:11

know what the movie the problem is the movie

40:14

needs another 40 minutes What's

40:17

my vision? You

40:20

got a guy in suspenders and fucking

40:23

Like yeah, I'd like a foot

40:25

going over the top drooling like

40:27

full And

40:30

yeah, we need to add more front porch.

40:32

There's there's another thing. There's another thing too

40:35

So and this sounds a little dubious, but

40:37

he is adamant that

40:39

in no way It was

40:41

there anything called cyber god? So

40:44

the story is is that that

40:47

the the right hold the rights holders

40:50

of this Stephen King? short

40:52

story knew that Stephen King was bankable and

40:54

they wanted just a Screw they wanted to

40:57

make a movie of it And so they

40:59

hired him because he had done this zombie

41:01

movie and they're like hey You

41:03

know just you know create something and he had

41:05

this script already called cyber god And they just

41:08

kind of tacked it on and made it work

41:10

which seems that's the story That's

41:12

the story that goes around and see

41:14

and seems to be part of the

41:16

case against the movie. Yes

41:19

as far as Fooling people in

41:22

the scene there. They're seeing a Stephen King

41:24

movie right and so what he

41:26

says was Absolutely

41:28

not he said that he had

41:30

been to a VR like seminar or something

41:32

and was really taken by VR And was

41:34

obsessed with it, and he had also made

41:37

the zombie movie that did pretty well I

41:39

can't remember what it's called And

41:41

he said based on his like kind

41:43

of horror movie early success these guys

41:46

approached him and said hey Will you

41:48

write a script for lawnmower man, and so he read

41:51

the short story? He was like I can't do anything

41:53

out of this He's like their idea was like maybe

41:55

there's somebody that's like chopping up women and making

41:57

manure out of them or some shit or whatever He

42:00

was like, but I'm obsessed with VR. And

42:02

so he said by hooker by crook. I

42:04

was gonna fit VR into this movie So

42:06

I you know He pulled the one scene

42:08

that made it into the movie from Stephen

42:11

King's book and then just built this other

42:13

thing around it But he said I didn't

42:15

have an existing script called cyber God and

42:17

you know, I'm gonna believe I'm

42:20

gonna I choose to believe him because Before

42:22

I read the bullshit on

42:24

IMDB, which is wrong all the time

42:27

about like they just had this script

42:29

called Cyber God and they slap fucking

42:31

lawnmower man. I was

42:33

thinking that if I had to Work

42:36

backwards from the short story. I could

42:38

definitely see somebody like just Coming

42:42

up with that shit to justify why there's

42:44

a lawnmower. Hello, she needs us. Yes, I

42:46

could see that happening just

42:49

from Having a computer in front

42:51

of me and looking it up Because

42:54

you mentioned it his zombie movie

42:56

is called the dead pit, which

42:58

I have never seen It's from

43:00

1989. It stars Jeremy

43:02

slate who played the priest

43:04

in Man

43:06

cool. I always like guys, you

43:09

know bringing their people back. That's always a fun

43:11

thing He also said

43:13

that Stephen King saw lawnmower like his version.

43:15

He was like, I like this movie It's

43:17

just that's yours. It's not mine and I

43:20

don't want my name on it But he

43:22

was like I'm much a total sense total

43:24

man Weird a weird thing too

43:26

is I think the

43:28

Stephen King story sell Has

43:31

a weird? Yeah overlap

43:33

with some of the ideas from

43:36

lawnmower man Where

43:38

it's been like lawnmower you could

43:41

almost say that sell is the

43:43

sequel to lawnmower man in a lot of ways

43:45

yeah, where it's like all these people get a

43:47

call and Then it

43:49

gets in their head and turns them into

43:52

kind of a zombie who are all a

43:57

Worshiping or kind of subservient

44:00

to one unifying kind

44:02

of God-like creature who could

44:05

easily be Job.

44:07

I mean that was the first thing I thought of when I

44:09

read this, when I read that story. Oh

44:12

cool, yeah I've never heard of Cell. Cell

44:15

came out in maybe

44:17

2009, 2010, like around there. It was

44:19

turned into a movie that just disappeared.

44:27

I have never seen it. I

44:30

think it stars John Cusack and

44:32

Samuel L. Jackson, possibly, if memory

44:34

serves me. It came

44:37

and went so fast. I

44:39

almost feel like I dreamed it. It

44:42

did. 2016 it came out. There's a lot of weird

44:44

Cusack set it

44:46

and forget it movies. Yeah, he

44:48

might be bad. Yeah. I

44:50

think he is. I think from like 2000 on,

44:53

with the exception of like high fidelity, which I

44:55

think was even before 2000, he's been in like

44:57

60 movies that no

44:59

one's seen. He's, you know, I love to like

45:02

scroll deep on these streamers and

45:04

find like anything that's remotely a

45:06

legal thriller, journalism thriller, or a

45:09

martial arts movie. That's

45:11

kind of new. Dude, Cusack's face is

45:13

on like 18% of

45:16

the fucking things you see. And you're like, and

45:18

he's not a gray hair on him.

45:20

No, not a gray hair. And not

45:22

only that, he's like frequently like Instagram

45:25

fucking flirt facial blur, where he's like,

45:27

oh, really soft and huge. And it's

45:29

like, Jesus Christ, man. Like he's letting

45:31

them do all kinds of fucking photo

45:33

shots. Hey, John Hughes replaces ass on

45:35

breakfast club. He was there shooting. He's

45:37

like, fuck, we get this guy out

45:39

of here to spring Judd Nelson. And

45:41

he was bender. Originally Cass was bender and

45:44

shot multiple days on it. I

45:46

think it was, I

45:48

like better off dead. I think

45:50

better off dead. What's

45:53

the guy who played booger in Revenge of

45:55

the Nerds? Oh, yeah. Curtis Armstrong. Curtis Armstrong

45:58

in his book, I think it was his

46:00

book that I read it in. He talks

46:02

about better off dead everybody

46:04

having a fucking blast. And then

46:07

something happened to, somebody

46:09

got in Cusack's ear that he

46:11

was too good for this kind

46:13

of movie. And then they came

46:15

back for reshoots or something. Or

46:17

the next time they hung out,

46:19

a completely different guy. Just a

46:21

problem, difficult to work with. Everybody

46:23

was miserable. Maybe

46:25

it was like the, or maybe it was like

46:28

he did one crazy summer with

46:30

that director afterward. Maybe it was like the

46:32

same. And he was like just a fucking

46:34

nightmare. It

46:36

was something like that. Is there more

46:38

in one crazy summer? She's in one crazy summer.

46:41

Yeah, that's right. That's where he's in the cartoonist.

46:43

And the same story. Because

46:45

they're both Savage Steve

46:47

Holland is the writer director.

46:50

That was like he was like this. He's

46:52

like this coming of age. Yeah. I love

46:54

one crazy summer. His name

46:56

is Hoops in that. And he's

46:58

never played basketball. I mean they're both cool,

47:00

better off dead. And one crazy summer are

47:03

both really fun movies that

47:05

do have a unique

47:07

voice to them. Yeah, that paper boy with

47:09

the $2 and all that shit. I love

47:11

that shit. Yeah, me too. One crazy summer,

47:13

the Curtis Armstrong character, is

47:16

he the guy who keeps trying to win the sweepstakes?

47:18

And then eventually like shoots a fucking rocket

47:20

launcher and something if I remember correctly. There's

47:22

a character who's constantly trying to win a

47:25

radio call-in show. And he never can. He

47:27

can never do it. And then like snaps

47:29

at the end. He like just misses it

47:31

or something like that. I remember him being

47:33

a cartoonist. I liked that part of it.

47:35

And it had like animated interludes.

47:38

Yeah. Yeah. That was cool.

47:40

The bad guys were a father-son. I know

47:42

this because I based something in a script

47:44

off this. The bad guys were like the father-son

47:46

wealthy guys. And the big turn at the

47:48

end is they had stolen his like Ferrari

47:50

engine and put it on their boat for

47:52

the big regatta race. And they

47:54

fucking like smoke him with that. And he shoots

47:57

like a, he's got a wheel of lobsters that

47:59

he's shooting at. with a crossbow and shit all

48:01

this classic bad guy shit so

48:03

Curtis Armstrong snort everything and better off dead

48:06

is that what he's like the druggie this

48:08

is 100% pure snow yeah

48:10

better off dead yeah yeah

48:17

you know what I gotta pull up some q-sac stern

48:20

clips who the guy we

48:23

got to remember because he's definitely somebody I'm

48:25

sure stern would needle a

48:27

little bit about like

48:29

what happened like so you've been offered

48:31

a lot of movies was

48:34

it true is it

48:36

true that you were offered the

48:39

Terminator you know you're some shit like it'll

48:41

be some huge fucking thing you

48:44

you were offered Titanic right he

48:47

always will put himself in there billion dollars that

48:49

would drive me crazy I mean I'm gonna stop

48:51

thinking about it yeah it's all I would ever

48:53

think of it's all I'd ever talk about or

48:55

think about you've turned out

48:57

some big movies they wanted you to

49:00

be Batman why

49:04

why didn't you want to be Batman I

49:06

mean that movie was everywhere dude let

49:08

me tell you if you were sitting

49:11

right here telling me you were Batman

49:13

I don't know well

49:18

no it wasn't me I like

49:20

the time is like you

49:22

know the spin no

49:24

better just real quick you have the spin

49:26

that they all go into just real quick

49:29

no I wasn't I you know it

49:31

got floated around but like I it never got

49:34

to me I was on a list I

49:36

don't know no you know

49:39

of course and then they were never

49:41

got that man it was

49:44

it was down to me

49:46

and Cusack for terminator me

49:48

you mean you Cusack

49:58

he's so small He

50:01

could not have a cybernetic exoskeleton. Either

50:04

they are reading for better off dead,

50:07

or they don't think that I'm right for it and

50:09

these things. And they're, you know, they said,

50:11

let Cusack do it. They

50:16

want me to do Cell. They

50:20

want me to do Cell. By

50:22

the way, I have like this fucking zodiac light on my

50:24

head. You guys! So yeah,

50:26

he had, he had, he gave

50:28

us, uh, gave us, has a

50:30

weird reflection on his face right

50:32

now. Christian iconography. Yeah. Which

50:35

brings us into, uh, Lawn Mower, man. The

50:37

Catholicism in this movie. There is a lot

50:39

of Catholicism. That's also how you know Stephen

50:41

King has nothing to do with it. It's

50:43

like way too, it's way too Irish Catholic.

50:48

Which is probably what fucking

50:51

infuriated him the most. And

50:53

Jeffrey, well he has like some

50:55

priest stuff, but it's usually like

50:57

involving vampires. Well,

50:59

or, or like he likes, um, Baptist,

51:01

you know, Pentecostal type stuff. Like Revival House

51:03

shit, you know. I do like that Jeffrey

51:06

Lewis read the script and was like, you

51:08

know what, I'm gonna do it Irish. Put

51:11

it high to two-y. I

51:13

did pull up Cell and, uh,

51:16

the, the IMDB page, and I'm looking at John

51:18

Cusack in it, and it looks like he's, it

51:21

looks like he's dr- he's the,

51:24

the baby of Nicholas

51:27

Cage and Tom

51:29

Hanks in The Da Vinci

51:32

Code. Yeah. He's got

51:34

two ventriloquist dummy hair. Yeah, he went the wrong

51:36

route on that hair too, where

51:39

it's like, uh, slicked back Wish

51:41

Nick troll in dyed black. Like it's,

51:43

it comes up and back, you know.

51:45

Like it doesn't feel like

51:47

it lives anywhere else on his head. Who wants the

51:50

guy in Da Vinci Code? What's his name? Langdon Robert

51:52

Langdon. Yeah, he got the Langdon.

51:54

He went to the barber and asked for

51:56

the Langdon. I can't believe in the

51:58

last couple years I've watched. all three of those movies

52:01

back. Yeah, Gabor's watch

52:03

the mysterious third one. Speaking of

52:05

fucking disappearing. It's

52:07

a huge billion dollar franchise. And the

52:09

third one came out to no fanfare.

52:13

I got to tell you, if you

52:15

ever have any doubts about Tom Hanks, which

52:17

I'm sure people do, he's the

52:20

other people. They

52:23

the video of him doing

52:25

the talk that

52:28

he was forced to do on stage.

52:30

Oh, it's very funny. About the Google

52:32

glasses or whatever. What is this fucking

52:34

dumb shit? It's some stupid fucking product

52:36

that he's been forced to... It's

52:39

almost like a TED talk for

52:42

some company. It's like for Sony. Like Sony...

52:45

I think it is Sony. I think Sony...

52:47

It makes sense because they like... Yes. He

52:49

like did a Sony package. And

52:52

now he's got to basically be like,

52:54

hey, the guy in charge of Sony

52:56

is cool. I'm Tom Hanks. Come see

52:58

the new DaVinci

53:00

Code movie. And he is

53:04

so miserable, they asked to do it,

53:06

that he kind of destroys the whole

53:08

illusion they were going for. It's really

53:11

fucking funny. Clearly some piece of shit

53:13

or some annoying person that works there

53:15

gave him an instruction and treated

53:20

him like an employee of this place. It's

53:22

like glasses and he's like... Essentially,

53:24

he doesn't say this, but it's like, these

53:26

are fucking stupid. And

53:29

they must have told him to walk back

53:31

and forth. And so he never stops walking

53:33

back and forth in a really like over

53:35

the top manner. Like now I'm

53:37

walking over here. And

53:40

it does make you like him. It does.

53:44

He's fucking lawnmower man. The

53:46

theatrical cut. I

53:49

unfairly was critical

53:52

of Roger saying that he's a wife guy. He

53:54

definitely is a wife guy, because I do like

53:56

the clip of him protecting Rita Wilson when like

53:58

the paparazzi were getting too... close you know

54:00

it was kind of a cool

54:02

thing because he's like America's sweetheart or whatever this is

54:05

pretty recent they were getting like you can be divorced

54:07

and be a white guy agreed agreed you have to

54:09

change my brain you gotta

54:14

get a new wife that's

54:17

fair and that's sometimes gonna be difficult yeah

54:20

you can't just divorce and be single stay

54:23

single and then be a wife guy you have

54:25

to get a new wife speaking of paparazzi did

54:27

you see sly and his whole family like walking

54:29

down through Italy and they're being like

54:32

mob by crowds of people with their phone and his

54:34

caption is like I love this country

54:36

or whatever I

54:39

comment man Frank

54:41

is super famous

54:43

in Italy hoping that

54:46

just burrows into his brain what

54:49

does this mean I went

54:51

to a birthday party last night and my friend's

54:53

wife came over to the

54:56

the circle I was talking in with

54:59

some guy and and and she's

55:02

like this is my friend and

55:04

we actually know each other from like

55:09

a student school like a chain we're

55:11

exchange students he's

55:13

a from Brussels we've

55:17

been friends for like for

55:19

fucking 30 years and

55:22

so then I'm like cool and I'm

55:24

also like I don't want

55:26

to talk to this I'm

55:30

like catching up with an old friend of mine and

55:32

now I'm now I'm like all

55:34

right like and then somehow he brings

55:36

up like Van Dam and I'm like

55:38

okay I can talk about okay and

55:41

then immediately he talks

55:43

about somehow it gets shifted

55:45

over to Frank Stallone he's like what's Frank

55:47

Stallone song and I'm like honestly I don't know

55:49

I don't know I think he had one hit

55:52

and I won't hit that was it for

55:54

staying alive yes it's like never

55:56

forget it's it's like a disco yeah

55:59

you I don't know, he's like,

56:01

I can't believe it, I'm the one that has to

56:03

tell the Americans what Frank, and I'm like, no,

56:06

he's a joke, dude, FYI. Far

56:10

from over, I think is the biggest thing. Yes, I

56:12

learned that last night because he did Google it, he's

56:14

like, far from over. Like

56:18

that's it. When the guy had all jacked, I

56:20

would keep calling him Muscles from Brussels if he

56:22

had any. No, he was like, rail

56:24

skinny. Or if he was super skinny, it'd be fun to do.

56:26

Yeah, I should have been calling him that. Did he have some

56:28

Van Damme vocal tics? No,

56:31

not really. I mean, he just kind of

56:33

sounded. Yeah, like Van

56:35

Damme's got some weird kind of influences

56:37

in where he learned English and like

56:39

how spread out over Europe he was

56:41

and all that. So he's unique unto

56:43

himself like Arnold, you know? Guys

56:48

who've lived in America for like 50 something

56:51

years in a profession where it's all

56:53

talking and did not lose

56:55

their, I mean, it's obviously on purpose.

56:57

Because it's beneficial to them. Well, it

56:59

is super powerful. Arnold puts his on

57:01

and Van Damme, I think just that's

57:03

the best he's been to Van Damme

57:07

again. He's doing the

57:09

best Van Damme in every movie. I

57:11

don't hear it. Well, the

57:14

difference is Arnold, like when he's giving

57:16

a motivational speech, you realize how good

57:18

a speaker he is and that like

57:21

his accent is very much

57:23

part of his character now.

57:26

And when Van Damme is doing

57:28

his like Instagram videos, you can barely

57:30

understand a fucking word he's saying. Yeah,

57:33

he's struggling. He's struggling. He's

57:36

struggling. He's mixing in multiple

57:38

languages. Yeah. Gabriel

57:40

sent us a couple of clips of

57:42

the John Cusack movies that

57:44

he pulled off. Look at these. And

57:47

he does. The second one is the

57:49

one I was thinking of the Photoshop.

57:51

He's just fully like blurred out of

57:53

it and distorted. It

57:56

looks like somebody is

57:58

just putting like mass. from

58:00

a CVS at all the time. Like

58:05

I just, on the back of a photo

58:07

shoot. And both of these posters look

58:09

like it would be in a, if

58:12

John Cusack spoofed himself in another TV

58:14

show, they would be like up in

58:16

his house. Like, they seem

58:18

like fake boogers. Yeah, like shit, I'm

58:20

going to John Cusack's house. And he's

58:23

like fucking bragging about all his movie

58:25

posters. Also, the subtle

58:27

burn to both of them is that he's

58:29

second billing. Yeah,

58:31

to like, Christina Ricci and Neil

58:33

Gersch. He

58:37

in this one, distorted, he looks like

58:39

the guy that like when you go

58:41

to the gym, sits on the peck

58:43

rear fly machine for like

58:45

the whole time you're there. On his phone mostly.

58:47

Yeah, it's like I'm there for a two hour

58:49

workout. I just want to squeeze some of that

58:52

in. And meanwhile, this guy's in there the whole

58:54

fucking time. He

58:56

like turns around, he's got weird eyebrows and

58:58

like no muscle development. I'm like, maybe you

59:00

should change it up. Do something different. I

59:03

was super setting, I was super setting strict

59:05

press and lat pull downs. And

59:08

a guy jumped on the lat pull down machine

59:10

in between. I was like, okay, that's, that's fine.

59:12

I'll let him finish his set. He finished the

59:14

set and then he sat there and I could

59:16

see, he like left his phone up on

59:18

the ground and he was watching like

59:21

an, he was listening and watching an

59:23

Instagram video of some like busty woman

59:25

talking to camera. And then I'm

59:27

like, what the, so he picks up his phone, now

59:29

he's on his phone and I'm wait, tiff. And it's

59:31

tiff, he's commenting on it. But I go over to

59:33

like, see what he's doing. I'm like, this guy's been

59:35

sitting here for like three minutes now. I'm like getting

59:37

into too long of a rest period. I got to get up there.

59:40

So I go and I'm like, I'm going to just see what he's doing

59:42

on his phone. I look over his phone. I'm like,

59:45

writing like a four or five

59:47

line comment on whatever this Instagram video is. And

59:49

I'm like, this guy, I need to get this

59:51

guy off this machine for me and off his

59:53

phone for his own well-being. No, I mean, listen,

59:55

dude, you could look at it that way or

59:58

you could look at it as like tool

1:00:00

about how young people connect with each

1:00:02

other. So, if you

1:00:04

want to be negative, that's fine. So

1:00:07

we're about a month ahead of recording and recently

1:00:10

on a previous episode, our

1:00:14

long-term long-time listener,

1:00:17

Bloodfart. Bloodfart.

1:00:19

Bloodfart2. I like

1:00:22

to googling. Bloodfart2. He

1:00:27

reposted someone's message. So there's a

1:00:30

Reddit thread for this that we

1:00:32

avoid because it's too frightening. We

1:00:35

should let them be able to talk to each other. People

1:00:38

should be able to talk shit if they

1:00:40

want on their own thing. That's fine. On

1:00:43

the Patreon, we will look. But

1:00:45

on the Reddit, it's our job to check

1:00:48

and to respond to some things. We put

1:00:50

up those posts. We put up

1:00:52

those posts and we work for quite a bit. We watched

1:00:54

a movie and recorded for three hours for those posts.

1:00:56

So I think we have the right to read the

1:00:58

comments. The

1:01:00

Reddit is a world on itself.

1:01:03

And I generally try to. Last

1:01:05

time, Sean Clement's wife

1:01:07

loves Reddit. She's on it all the time. And

1:01:09

she sent me a link to some

1:01:11

fucking shit about me on Reddit

1:01:13

once, like a Hollywood handbook. And

1:01:16

I was like, I don't want to fucking read this. What

1:01:18

are you doing? I read

1:01:20

a Reddit thread about me and Nicole Byer doing

1:01:22

a Power Hour that upset

1:01:24

me and angered me in such a way that

1:01:27

I called Kibosh on. I don't even

1:01:29

read the Patreon comments. I hear them about

1:01:31

them from you guys because I'm

1:01:33

just trying to. And also, to be fair

1:01:35

to the Redditors, even if they are being

1:01:37

negative, they're not intending for us to see

1:01:39

it. Like they're not coming into my space

1:01:41

and giving. So it's just like if you

1:01:43

want to fucking talk shit or talk about

1:01:45

how stupid I am or whatever, knock

1:01:48

yourself out. Knock yourself out. Occasionally, somebody

1:01:50

will link us in or if there's

1:01:52

like a true psycho. And in this

1:01:55

case, blood flow just literally cut and

1:01:57

pasted this giant diatribe.

1:02:00

I did oh that wasn't his

1:02:02

own post no no no blood flow has been

1:02:04

with us since day one Yeah,

1:02:09

you come to our live shows. He's a buddy

1:02:12

Blood flow knows what he is that's why I

1:02:14

like yeah He under

1:02:16

the order is your is the uh

1:02:19

the origin of I'm a movie buff.

1:02:21

I believe yeah laughs

1:02:24

about it He's

1:02:27

also he's a he's either a

1:02:29

vet or he's in active duty, too I

1:02:32

thought he was in the Navy. I believe

1:02:34

yeah if memory serves me Because

1:02:38

he'll mention that stuff especially when

1:02:40

we do our annual fundraiser well

1:02:42

whenever he goes to the doctor

1:02:46

He's his doctor who is of

1:02:48

course he's also commented right above

1:02:50

him who

1:02:54

we give a hard time but I'm also Fine

1:02:56

we've been doing the show for a long time

1:02:58

and so we have our wack once again We

1:03:01

have our wack pack which we should name. I

1:03:03

feel like this is a good job for gamers I'll

1:03:06

come up with something act back.

1:03:08

Yeah like our fucking

1:03:11

psycho Brigade We

1:03:14

have these our lawn mower man

1:03:16

yes, we have her lawn mower

1:03:18

men our Job I

1:03:20

mean job We've

1:03:24

got quite a few lawnmower men who and

1:03:27

they are men They

1:03:30

are never we we have yet

1:03:32

to have a problem female listener

1:03:36

No, I think you might be on the road that

1:03:38

I think you might be able to spread that across

1:03:40

all of Bob. Yes I think or the internet for

1:03:42

the most part So

1:03:46

This dude just like when I

1:03:49

I kind of don't Really

1:03:52

want to talk shit about him because he

1:03:54

did he didn't post it like yeah He

1:03:56

like it's not like he didn't post it

1:03:58

on our patreon And he

1:04:01

basically just sounds like a guy who doesn't

1:04:03

like where he's at in life Which I

1:04:05

think everybody can relate to and if our

1:04:07

show up to including our hosts of

1:04:09

the show. Yeah, I mean if if Part

1:04:13

of doing this show keeps some

1:04:15

fucking psycho from like stalking

1:04:18

somebody at work Like

1:04:24

Yeah Like maybe if it's so if

1:04:26

it's soma for people that would otherwise

1:04:28

be taking up skirt shots on the

1:04:31

subway Like I'm so glad that this

1:04:33

is what we're doing our do yeah,

1:04:35

we're getting this guy from like Creeping

1:04:39

in bathroom stalls From

1:04:44

doing wide stances But

1:04:48

anyway he um, but this dude did he

1:04:51

had a very technology based we will

1:04:53

talk frequently pretty

1:04:56

casually about like our

1:04:59

hatred of phones

1:05:01

being distracting and Having

1:05:04

a lot of negative consequences for us

1:05:06

as a society and leading people to

1:05:08

be lonely and miserable and addicted to

1:05:11

their phone But

1:05:13

he took it to a next level of like

1:05:15

saying that he made all his friends and he

1:05:17

did refer to himself as a Millennial

1:05:20

Gen Z cusp or and that

1:05:22

we didn't understand phones now most

1:05:24

of our criticism against phones it

1:05:27

was it it did strike

1:05:29

me as though he isn't really listening to a

1:05:31

lot of what we're talking about because usually we

1:05:33

Bring up old people not Old

1:05:37

people should need a license to get a phone Yeah,

1:05:39

and we're also mostly talking about our

1:05:41

personal relationship with phones and I consider

1:05:43

us to be old now Yeah,

1:05:46

you know what I mean? like it's mostly talking

1:05:48

about our personal dynamic with phones of what we

1:05:50

feel it's doing to our brains and kind of

1:05:52

extrapolating out from there and From

1:05:54

witnessing from going to one Broadway show

1:05:57

where nine different people's phones ring We

1:06:00

we struck a nerve with this dude who thought he

1:06:02

was under a personal attack But you

1:06:05

know, I don't even know if he's a patron to

1:06:07

be honest with you We know he's in pain for

1:06:09

the fucking podcast. He's got he did

1:06:11

reference one friend that he met That

1:06:14

he's seen three times but has a

1:06:16

meaningful Valuable relationship with

1:06:18

and so I guess that could prove positive

1:06:20

on the population depending on what age you

1:06:22

go for Well, I

1:06:25

maybe urban they're like plotting shit

1:06:28

Also, I just I think we should be

1:06:30

understood that like if we're sitting here shit

1:06:32

talking a movie There is obviously positive parts

1:06:34

of the movie we like we're sitting here

1:06:36

shit talking phones Like obviously I like that

1:06:38

I could go on my for you page

1:06:40

and see Thousands of pairs of tits in

1:06:42

under a second. Like there are powerful cool

1:06:44

things about the phone. I get it I

1:06:47

mean, I'm like it Inspired

1:06:50

somebody else to talk about that. I thought might have

1:06:52

been the guy but he says he's not so I'll

1:06:54

take him at his word Nikko

1:06:56

Nolte Nikko Nolte. Yeah, I Nolte

1:07:00

no, okay Mr.

1:07:02

No 10 But

1:07:07

he was talking about like the virtues of like social

1:07:09

media and all this kind of stuff and I was

1:07:11

just like what the fuck I'm trying to remember like

1:07:13

what we talked about in Rudy where all the shit

1:07:15

and then he was like no No, I was just

1:07:17

responding to that post and then so I didn't just

1:07:19

say like hey dude, just so you know All

1:07:22

of us use social media. We like parts

1:07:24

of it. It's probably why the show exists

1:07:29

We are participating in I listen to audiobooks and

1:07:32

podcasts on my phone for like seven hours a

1:07:34

day But at this time I'm like, I think

1:07:36

the Amish were right and would like all this

1:07:39

Good idea, yeah like the Amish did

1:07:41

it right like a rum springer like

1:07:43

they've like teeth. They're all like nah,

1:07:45

not for me Percent

1:07:50

of the time they come back On

1:07:57

the internet I drank alcohol I'm coming back

1:07:59

out of four I got

1:08:01

a phone, good father, it

1:08:03

wasn't fun. I'm

1:08:06

curious to see what on my mother's, I'm

1:08:08

not a cusper. Father mother,

1:08:10

I'm not a cusper. It

1:08:12

turns out I'm not a cusper. Turns

1:08:15

out I'm not a cusper and I want to send

1:08:17

my phone back. Gregor Tomato from

1:08:19

Reddit was wrong. I

1:08:21

am curious to think what he'll think of

1:08:23

this episode because it does, it is a

1:08:26

cautionary tale. It does the weird like

1:08:28

a lot of overlap, right? Yeah, I know. Well,

1:08:30

that's why I broke the seal and bring it

1:08:32

like we've got to because it's going to come

1:08:34

up like it is. It is fucking cautionary tale.

1:08:36

He does come up assuming we start the episode,

1:08:38

start talking about the movie anytime soon. I

1:08:41

think that he's going to be on the

1:08:43

side of Dr. Larry Angelo early on when

1:08:45

he's talking about like how great technology can

1:08:47

be. But then he'll be against them later

1:08:49

when he's like concerned about how it's. This

1:08:52

is obviously going to be a very long

1:08:54

episode. We've

1:08:56

got a lot to discuss. We haven't

1:08:58

even started yet. Throughout the whole time

1:09:01

I was watching, I kept on thinking

1:09:03

like poor

1:09:05

cry check. Like how

1:09:07

do you pick what clip to put

1:09:09

on our

1:09:11

Instagram? I just trust that he's going

1:09:14

to fucking hammer it. You want to

1:09:16

put the whole thing in there. I

1:09:18

mean, literally every scene has seems

1:09:21

unbelievable. One thing we try

1:09:23

not to do on this amongst

1:09:25

us is text about the movie until

1:09:27

we sit down. I couldn't. I

1:09:29

felt bad. I was like, I'm sorry, guys. I'm

1:09:34

like, I'm losing my fucking mind here.

1:09:40

I was truly blown away watching this to the

1:09:42

point where I just was like, I just have

1:09:44

to tell the guys that I'm losing my fucking

1:09:46

shit over here, which is something we try to

1:09:48

avoid. Even when we watch together in person, we

1:09:50

try not to talk about it so that we can. I don't

1:09:52

come in. I don't blame

1:09:54

you. Chimp Roscoe 138. How

1:09:57

could you not text? Cyberman just

1:09:59

calling him. Cyberman made me in the

1:10:01

fucking like Idiot

1:10:03

in the whatever word we

1:10:05

have to come up with a word that to

1:10:08

describe Joe in Job's accent Thanks, that's

1:10:10

cyber man and he's a Realist

1:10:12

I hate to report that cyber man

1:10:15

is not in the the theater most

1:10:17

at all We never get to see

1:10:19

Job interact with Roscoe 138 Roscoe

1:10:22

escapes to his house and into his

1:10:24

shed And they he's like hugging him

1:10:27

and this is why I think

1:10:29

the Metrical cut is better. I

1:10:31

do like We

1:10:36

just gotta go into it so like let's

1:10:38

set up some why don't we do this

1:10:40

as we go through gabris you can give

1:10:42

us a Brief synopsis of I'll go through

1:10:44

the opening scene and then you can kind

1:10:46

of give us a version Maybe

1:10:49

a truncated version of yeah, what I left out

1:10:51

in the director's cut sure and also Listeners

1:10:54

I watched this movie last night

1:10:57

I do have holes in my brain from

1:10:59

my just lifestyle choices, so I might even

1:11:01

be like Job

1:11:12

is molesting the priest There's

1:11:15

there's a lot of fucking sketchy ass shit

1:11:17

about between those two I don't know um

1:11:20

oh one thing I wanted to add About

1:11:23

John Cusack's oeuvre What

1:11:31

they want to talk about John Cusack's

1:11:33

projection screen forehead was As

1:11:37

big John would have said that's not a

1:11:39

forehead that's a five head oh He

1:11:42

just added one more that was

1:11:44

always a thing this guy's got a fucking five

1:11:46

head Johnny Lawnmower

1:11:50

man It's

1:11:53

prime this is what I want to say When

1:11:56

I pulled it up on prime I did like that they

1:11:58

put it in the sub genre thoughtful

1:12:00

oh I

1:12:05

did remember something else. I got a

1:12:07

text Besser about lawnmower man. I

1:12:10

think Besser I I suspect he is

1:12:12

a fan of the movie because The

1:12:16

amount I always thought

1:12:18

the early upright

1:12:20

citizen brigade sketches had VR

1:12:23

shit in them. Yes, like it

1:12:26

also As someone who

1:12:28

knew the movie very well. I was like oh wow.

1:12:30

They're really using a lot of lawnmower

1:12:33

man stuff my guess

1:12:35

would be because but you know

1:12:37

like Besser has like the He

1:12:39

has like the I watch anything that sci-fi

1:12:42

like any new show even

1:12:44

if he doesn't like it Yeah, he

1:12:46

has to check because he just loves

1:12:48

sci-fi shit so much so I guarantee

1:12:50

he likes lawnmower man I'm curious if

1:12:52

he's seen lawnmower man, too, which even

1:12:54

I have not seen no I

1:12:57

couldn't even I didn't know it existed until I searched trying

1:12:59

to kept digging deeper to get away

1:13:01

from the directors cut But at one

1:13:03

point I was kind of in a sunk cost and

1:13:06

here's the funny while we're just I

1:13:08

own lawnmower man the theatrical cut

1:13:11

on DVD All my DVDs

1:13:13

are in storage except for like eight of them

1:13:15

and one of them is Lawnmower

1:13:17

man the theatrical cut but

1:13:19

I wanted to go watch it in a room that didn't have

1:13:21

a player And you had meant

1:13:23

like you sent a text and I was like I

1:13:25

think I'm just gonna rip it rip it on directors

1:13:28

Cut cuz I assume that's what you had to watch

1:13:30

but then Stanger came through with the to be

1:13:32

but at that point I was 20 minutes in

1:13:34

and like tears in my eyes Cyberman

1:13:36

I've got in my eye These

1:13:40

lawnmower men are coming up to me

1:13:42

tears in their eyes. They're saying save

1:13:44

cyber man So

1:13:47

once I was I was pot committed like I

1:13:49

swear to God five minutes into the movie I

1:13:51

go if if they figure something else out. I'll

1:13:53

just be the guy that watched the other version

1:13:56

ooh Alpha

1:13:59

we had we just got to see Alpha

1:14:01

Raj. Yeah, well it's

1:14:03

dinner time and it's

1:14:05

not dinner time. It's fucking a

1:14:07

little bit before dinner time as of this

1:14:09

recording and my fucking

1:14:12

dog has an internal

1:14:14

clock that gets very, very rowdy around

1:14:16

dinner time of like acting like I've lost

1:14:18

my mind. I'm like, do you know what

1:14:21

time it is? Sometimes it works. I'm like,

1:14:23

shit, is it like way past

1:14:25

dinner time? I'm like, no. It's not.

1:14:28

He already has that with his peeps real quick.

1:14:30

His last piss before bed. It

1:14:32

used to be after 11 because we slept

1:14:34

in so late. Now it

1:14:37

can be 10 p.m. or later, but I think

1:14:39

he likes to do it because then he knows

1:14:41

he's not going to get woken up again for

1:14:43

a few hours. So now as his old man

1:14:45

this at like 9.05 he's like sitting

1:14:48

by the door and I'm like, it's another hour, dude,

1:14:50

because I don't want you waking me up at 5 in

1:14:52

the morning having to go to the bathroom. I

1:14:55

have to like and he's just like cranky stomping

1:14:57

around. I'm like, no, no, no, dude. It's been

1:14:59

it was midnight for the longest time. Now it's

1:15:01

10. We're not going to 9 p.m. I

1:15:04

don't care. Like now he's

1:15:06

gone bananas. We'll talk about this more in

1:15:09

the later episode. But like our old man,

1:15:11

I wanted to send you you guys

1:15:13

like one of the a dog

1:15:16

trainer I use posted on her

1:15:18

Instagram. The like

1:15:20

dog ages according

1:15:22

to weight. Ultimately it's the old

1:15:24

adage of like dog years

1:15:27

being seven human years. It's pretty fucking

1:15:29

close. Oh, that's cool. Like it's pretty

1:15:31

accurate, but they had like the only

1:15:33

variable is how heavy your dog is.

1:15:35

Because the little ones like live a

1:15:38

little longer. Yes, it's slower for lighter

1:15:40

dogs. Yeah. So so they

1:15:42

age a little bit closer to

1:15:44

us. But

1:15:46

all in all, it's just a couple of year

1:15:49

difference. Artie is off the

1:15:51

charts like now. Like because at least

1:15:53

what like she screen grabbed it was like up

1:15:55

to like 13. As

1:15:58

of the you're going by sevens. He's

1:16:00

98 years old right now 98 and

1:16:02

change, you know in half a year and

1:16:04

dog years is if the math sticks out

1:16:06

It's three and a half human years. He's

1:16:08

broken a hundred like I

1:16:12

saw somebody post about like blue zones

1:16:14

being bullshit the

1:16:16

um Which and I kind of like I

1:16:18

like the the those like that book

1:16:20

when it came out and stuff Oh, I loved

1:16:23

it. I mean, it's all very basic. I mean

1:16:25

some of the stuff It doesn't

1:16:27

like it's it's Stupid it's

1:16:29

just like yeah eat a Mediterranean

1:16:32

diet and eat something that's fermented Yeah,

1:16:35

and get a lot of sleep and work outside.

1:16:37

It's all very stuff

1:16:39

that is universally true that you

1:16:41

can benefit from but somebody

1:16:45

Thought that the premise of the book So if

1:16:47

you don't know about blue zones, it's like whoever

1:16:49

came up with the idea is They

1:16:51

went to all the places around the world

1:16:53

that have the largest population

1:16:56

of veterinarians so

1:16:58

people over a hundred and

1:17:00

Looked at the commonalities amongst these

1:17:02

old people mostly from talking to

1:17:04

their kids because they're so old

1:17:07

they they They can barely

1:17:09

kind of talk that much and their

1:17:11

kids are also like 70 or 80

1:17:13

years. I know so

1:17:17

the The graph I

1:17:19

saw and I who knows who put this up,

1:17:21

but it looked into

1:17:23

the drop in life expectancy

1:17:26

or centenarians once

1:17:29

their States

1:17:31

and countries started using

1:17:34

standardized birth record-keeping So

1:17:37

right so all those some people are lying about

1:17:39

yeah Tell me it gets

1:17:41

very murky for some people like they just

1:17:44

fucking I don't know grandpa's a hundred right?

1:17:46

Yeah, it makes sense. It's been around forever.

1:17:48

Yeah I guess he was born in And

1:17:53

honestly I get that now too where

1:17:55

i'm like I would fully fucking forget

1:17:57

how old I am. I push ahead

1:17:59

so frequently by accident. Me and

1:18:01

Tiffany actually both do it and call each

1:18:03

other out on it. I'll be like, fucking

1:18:05

42 years old. It's like not until January.

1:18:08

You do do that and you have done that for

1:18:10

a while. I know. You started making yourself 40 when

1:18:12

you were like 36. When I was

1:18:14

like 38. Yeah, I don't, like I just say it. And

1:18:16

I guess it's because in my head I'm like, fuck 40.

1:18:18

So like it just gets in my head. Like I- Don't

1:18:21

worry Stanger, we haven't started the movie yet.

1:18:27

Stanger just got up, went for a hike, came back

1:18:29

and what's it all like? New

1:18:31

line cinema. So John Cusack. By

1:18:35

the turn of the millennium, technology

1:18:37

known as virtual reality will be

1:18:40

in widespread use. It

1:18:42

will allow you to enter

1:18:44

computer generated artificial worlds as

1:18:46

unlimited as the imagination itself.

1:18:49

Its creators foresee millions of positive

1:18:51

uses while others fear it as

1:18:54

a new form of mind control.

1:18:59

Virtual reality is mind control. It's

1:19:02

mind control. They're controlling our minds. China

1:19:06

is trying to turn us into lawn mower men.

1:19:09

Then I know how I got this DVD

1:19:11

then because when Tiff worked at New Line,

1:19:13

they let me raid the movie closet once

1:19:15

and I just took like one of every

1:19:17

movie that I hadn't had. So I got

1:19:19

like Ninja Turtle. What a catalog New Line's

1:19:21

got. Yeah. Yeah. I've

1:19:24

been picking up movies. Yeah. I

1:19:26

would kill for like a New Line to exist

1:19:28

now. I've been picking up a lot of VHSs

1:19:31

here and there because I

1:19:33

finally got around to getting

1:19:35

a VCR and there are

1:19:38

certain movies I don't want to watch

1:19:40

on VHS. But there's

1:19:42

trash because the

1:19:44

guy who runs Action Boys titles

1:19:46

actually, he has a Twitter account where

1:19:49

he puts up all the title screens of the movies

1:19:51

we covered. It's pretty cool. And

1:19:54

he sent me a message about like all these

1:19:56

like sealed video cassettes he got and like he

1:19:59

got one graded. And I kind of was

1:20:01

like I don't know not my thing I I think

1:20:03

part of the fun of it is they

1:20:05

should cost a dollar When

1:20:07

as the price is like the weird

1:20:10

collection of that raises like it kind

1:20:12

of ruins it because it's like These

1:20:14

aren't letterboxed movies for the most part

1:20:16

They're like pan and scanned or

1:20:19

just like weirdly cut like the dimensions

1:20:21

are weird that the sound Yes,

1:20:24

there's all sorts of problems But this

1:20:26

is the perfect fucking thing for like

1:20:28

a shitty VHS copy, but unfortunately I

1:20:30

couldn't find one in time So

1:20:32

it led to me watching on to

1:20:34

be but this was the the exact

1:20:36

perfect over-the-plate like just pop it in the

1:20:38

fucking VCR And let it roll Even

1:20:41

if you can't even hear some of this shit We

1:20:45

go to virtual space industries

1:20:49

It's a nondescript building looks

1:20:51

like a water treatment plant Like

1:20:54

on the side of a mountain. It's very

1:20:56

close to this small town And

1:21:02

We get a very

1:21:04

strange Shot of we

1:21:07

just kind of see the halls and

1:21:09

we're going through this concrete

1:21:11

depressing darkly

1:21:13

lit laboratory and

1:21:16

you can hear Pierce Brosnan

1:21:18

and a guy named you and there

1:21:20

it's very sloppy exposition where it's like

1:21:23

Tim's my treatments are making him smarter

1:21:25

at an incredible rate It's

1:21:28

more important than training him for a war They're

1:21:32

doing the classic science fiction thing where it's

1:21:34

like this It's

1:21:37

science Versus military. It's

1:21:39

like should we use this for

1:21:41

warfare or to better humanity and

1:21:44

that's been a sort of like fuzzy

1:21:46

relationship in American global history, but

1:21:48

in American history very specifically We

1:21:51

got silly putty it but also Science

1:21:55

fiction. It's it's part of the genre now. The

1:21:57

big thing. I think people are missing out is

1:22:00

where technology went of like how can

1:22:03

we sell this to people in a

1:22:05

really dumb fucking way How

1:22:08

can we just people get people to fucking buy

1:22:10

this for and like fool them into thinking it's

1:22:13

meaningful for their life So they gotta get a

1:22:15

new version of it every year and

1:22:17

more specifically How can we get them to sign up for

1:22:19

subscription based models of how can we yeah? How can we

1:22:22

put I get them to put all their information in it?

1:22:27

How can we get them to give this

1:22:29

to their kids as gifts and stuff put it

1:22:31

in an egg? Silly

1:22:34

putty of course was when they were going

1:22:36

looping back to that okay They're

1:22:39

trying to do agreed with you Different

1:22:43

kinds of rubber for Vehicle

1:22:45

wheels and stuff during World War two and

1:22:47

so they were a bunch of scientists got

1:22:50

together and one of the offshoots with silly

1:22:52

putty Oh,

1:22:56

I can't use this for warfare. We can use it.

1:22:58

We use it to peel the newspaper print off and

1:23:00

look at it Really

1:23:08

Silly Don't

1:23:11

you see children could use this

1:23:13

to pull the funny pages off

1:23:15

and you want to use it for tanks in your

1:23:17

war I? Can't

1:23:20

in the just shoot silly putty and like bushes

1:23:22

somebody It

1:23:25

would expand and kill twice as many

1:23:27

people if we weaponized silly putty the

1:23:29

right way They

1:23:32

could use it to smear out over enemy

1:23:34

documents and copy them onto the silly putty

1:23:38

Kids are complaining rangel. Oh is not

1:23:40

telling you some of the incredible advancements

1:23:42

of this silly putty Just

1:23:45

don't let it fall on the carpet Where

1:23:49

it'll get dog hair on it and never be the

1:23:51

same I Remember

1:23:54

getting silly buddy had like a shelf life of

1:23:56

like six minutes if you like accidentally got anything

1:23:58

on it it just fucked And definitely like if

1:24:00

you get a little like dust or hair in

1:24:03

it It's that's not going forever Yeah, or if

1:24:05

you leave it out of its little leg it'll

1:24:07

end up looking like fucking job at the once

1:24:11

Dude, that's my favorite fucking piece of

1:24:13

trivia of like Job's head at the

1:24:16

end was achieved through a mannequin paper

1:24:18

mache It's like no shit Yeah,

1:24:21

I think fucking what I think hatch made

1:24:24

it I Think

1:24:26

British POWs made that record referring

1:24:28

to the movie victory where there's

1:24:30

a paper mache head We

1:24:33

just did that in the end of sports timber

1:24:36

You're just which is now in our rear view

1:24:38

mirror boys as we're brewing

1:24:40

up towards some horror So dr.

1:24:42

Angelo is Pierce Brosnan. He's the

1:24:45

one who's complaining about their warfare

1:24:47

Dr. Larry Angelo is such a

1:24:50

funny name. I can't get over

1:24:52

short for Lawrence Hey,

1:24:54

how you doing Larry Angelo

1:24:56

virtual space industries and obviously

1:24:58

I'm British Larry

1:25:02

Angelo I'm British with an Irish flag

1:25:04

in my office How

1:25:08

you doing I work with VR I Fucking

1:25:11

love monkeys and lawnmowers. I got I

1:25:13

got a real smart monkey I'll let

1:25:15

the kid next door play my games

1:25:17

all the time. Don't fuck my

1:25:19

wife none He's

1:25:24

talking to a guy named Tim's who's got

1:25:26

a shaved head he's a young guy in a

1:25:28

suit and your classic just kind

1:25:31

of Mid

1:25:34

manager Sniveling

1:25:36

sort of bad guy, you know our

1:25:38

funding comes from the shop They

1:25:42

want this animal trained in virtual reality

1:25:44

to use the infrared battle helmet not

1:25:46

recite the ABCs The

1:25:49

infrared battle. Oh, don't worry. We

1:25:52

are gonna see the infrared battle helmet and

1:25:55

it looks like a really shitty It's like

1:25:57

a kid's Robocop costume. Yeah Very

1:26:00

well could be a kid's RoboCop cop.

1:26:02

I put on a chimpanzee who definitely

1:26:05

didn't have a good life No,

1:26:08

and I wish you guys saw

1:26:10

the directors cut it's worse for that He's

1:26:14

already been exhibiting behavioral

1:26:17

instability They

1:26:19

want his primal rage centers

1:26:21

fully stimulated There's

1:26:24

so much good pseudoscience bullshit talk

1:26:26

in this. Oh, yeah I

1:26:29

mean it's like and and what's funny are

1:26:31

the words that have now 30

1:26:34

years that latter. Yeah, like permeated

1:26:37

into society Stanger said

1:26:39

Neutropics earlier Brosnan

1:26:42

has a great pronunciation of he

1:26:44

keeps saying Neutropics

1:26:49

new tropics He's

1:26:52

the best chimp I've ever had and Then

1:26:55

we cut to of course

1:26:57

the chimp like with his

1:26:59

battlefield simulator engaged and he's

1:27:03

Worse than doom a game that's been out it

1:27:05

for like ten years at this point It

1:27:08

looks like it's cool that it's original and wild

1:27:10

but it looks just like how does that help

1:27:12

him get ready for battle? In any way well

1:27:14

They do this weird thing where they do like

1:27:17

a wide shot and you see that like there's

1:27:19

a stick Attached to his back and a tickle

1:27:21

me Elmo doll Hanging from the

1:27:23

stick in front of them. And so he's

1:27:26

like changers of course referring to the Travis

1:27:29

the chimp Travis the chimp

1:27:31

who we've all gone down the

1:27:33

rabbit hole many times I do

1:27:36

it to myself almost annually reread

1:27:38

the story of I mean it's like

1:27:40

I Shouldn't be laughing

1:27:42

about it. We should not be like we know

1:27:44

so many specifics about it like the fact that

1:27:46

we know that you got a new haircut is

1:27:48

like such a funny like Travis

1:27:51

the chips owner got

1:27:53

a new haircut and it made him

1:27:55

go completely insane mixed with relationship

1:28:00

with the tickle me Elmo, well just do

1:28:02

yourself a favor, look up the Wikipedia page

1:28:04

of the Travis the chimp attack. We

1:28:08

probably talked about it when nope came out

1:28:10

last year around this time. It's

1:28:14

a horrific story that I

1:28:16

keep returning to over and over again. It's

1:28:19

fascinating, especially like the side details to

1:28:21

where you hear like, oftentimes

1:28:25

Travis would take a

1:28:28

car and drive it around. All

1:28:31

the specifics keep piling up in the best

1:28:33

way. He lived in this fucking small town

1:28:35

and would sometimes just steal a car and

1:28:37

drive it around. They had to get Travis

1:28:39

back and somebody threw a

1:28:41

bottle, like a Pepsi bottle at him one time and

1:28:43

he went all fucking crazy on the guy. The

1:28:47

lady that he attacked wasn't even his owner. She was

1:28:49

just helping her out. The

1:28:52

owner would dose him with Xanax and

1:28:55

they used to take baths and stuff

1:28:57

together. Anyway, look it up. It goes

1:28:59

far beyond this woman getting her face

1:29:01

ripped off and then doing an appearance

1:29:03

on Oprah and stuff. Oprah

1:29:06

showed her fucking face. Crazy.

1:29:10

That was traumatic seeing that. I

1:29:13

can only imagine it happening. Oh my God,

1:29:15

it's awful. It shouldn't be

1:29:17

laughed about, but it's hard not

1:29:19

to. It's hard not to

1:29:21

compare Roscoe 138 to Travis to

1:29:24

Gordy from NOPE to Amy the

1:29:26

Gorilla to Harambe. It's

1:29:30

all also us as humans

1:29:32

being like, this animal

1:29:34

is cute, so I'm okay around

1:29:36

it. That's

1:29:39

just an absolute misnomer

1:29:42

or misreading of the

1:29:44

situation. Like stay away from the

1:29:46

cage. I

1:29:49

mean if somebody could convince me like,

1:29:51

hey, will you let Harambe stay in

1:29:53

your backyard for a couple of months?

1:29:55

I would do it. It's like

1:29:58

love. I

1:30:01

named my son Harambe You

1:30:04

have like I saw you. You have a bag

1:30:06

of a dozen squirrels thrown at your fucking back

1:30:13

1:30:24

extended clip bump stock to fucking What did I

1:30:26

wake up and it's like man what's that real

1:30:28

thing on the side of the house? Gorilla

1:30:31

and canine are working synergistically together

1:30:36

Hurrah me give you squirrels Rhino

1:30:44

Amy's a listener Rhino

1:30:48

Rhino Amy gave me talking

1:30:51

1:31:03

I Was

1:31:06

able to make friends with these

1:31:08

1:31:11

bad for society but

1:31:13

1:31:15

I'm Harambe cosper They

1:31:19

1:31:23

1:31:34

use glove both for you know

1:31:37

pulling butts apart and for making

1:31:39

one on each hand Rhino It's

1:31:41

a bummer though that the the American

1:31:43

sign language for spreading your cheeks apart

1:31:46

is the Hail Mary. So it's Complicated

1:31:50

Yeah, when you go to Gabe it when

1:31:52

you go we yeah, how many full of

1:31:54

grace? Very especially

1:31:56

when you're trying to Gabe at a fucking

1:31:58

church. He's given the universal sign

1:32:00

for Gabe. Let

1:32:02

me get involved. Gape-sits

1:32:06

in it. Ramay. Ripped. Like

1:32:09

you're ordering a gape at a restaurant? The

1:32:12

check sign. Okay.

1:32:14

Hello, sir. You were asking for

1:32:17

a gape. We'll

1:32:19

have you serve it over in just one moment. I

1:32:21

just pour the water in your asshole. Hey,

1:32:24

excuse me. We've been trying to

1:32:26

get our gape for at

1:32:29

least 10 minutes, and everybody around here

1:32:31

is gaping like crazy. I

1:32:34

hate going in my gelt review. We

1:32:42

go from this chimp in

1:32:44

a VR battlefield simulation where

1:32:46

it looks like it's killing

1:32:50

Terminator hunter killer-type robots.

1:32:55

In the theatrical cut, it weirdly wipes

1:32:57

just to a Brett Leonard film, The

1:32:59

Lawnmower Man, all very

1:33:03

90s CG kind of. So

1:33:06

bad, it's almost charming, to be honest

1:33:08

with you. I will say the virtual

1:33:10

reality stuff is fun in its time

1:33:12

period. Watching

1:33:15

it now, it was enjoyable. Well, I

1:33:17

got to say, I hate digitally

1:33:21

created flames and blood, but

1:33:24

when they burn the priest in

1:33:26

the third act of the movie, it

1:33:28

doesn't look as bad as I thought.

1:33:31

I think it's because of the

1:33:33

virtual reality sheen. Yes,

1:33:36

the sheen of the movie, it kind of

1:33:38

makes sense story-wise. The medium of VR. Yeah.

1:33:41

It kind of should look

1:33:44

like shitty digital bullshit. So

1:33:47

the chip breaks out. Chip picks a

1:33:49

lock. I hate how

1:33:52

funny it is. I hate

1:33:54

how funny I find this animal acting

1:33:57

like a fucking psycho. it

1:34:00

at this point by the way I'm like

1:34:02

I'm like I'm so I no idea this

1:34:04

monkey was such a part of the movie

1:34:07

like I'm like having the time of my

1:34:09

life it's like very Rotor adjacent where he

1:34:11

can see little helmet got a little helmet

1:34:14

got a little fucking bike helmet that's spray-painted

1:34:16

silver on and it

1:34:18

lets him see thermal imaging of and

1:34:20

he also had he remembers his training and

1:34:22

shit yeah and he

1:34:25

had just saw like

1:34:27

and has the heads-up display of

1:34:30

like the Terminator where it's like

1:34:32

target dangerous security guard it's like

1:34:34

zero's in on his gun and

1:34:36

his acquire and acquire and acquire

1:34:38

a fire a fire evasive and

1:34:41

he kills he shoots this he

1:34:43

takes the security guards gone shoots

1:34:45

him in the face which clearly

1:34:47

did not make wasn't in the

1:34:49

script because nobody mentions it throughout

1:34:51

that like the chip killed a

1:34:54

bunch of people they

1:34:57

don't tell dr. Angelo that and they shoot

1:34:59

him in the head right this is the shot you guys

1:35:02

straight in the face and blood just

1:35:04

sprays out there it's like a legit

1:35:06

like surprise how gory it is to

1:35:08

me no not not in the theatrical

1:35:10

cut okay you only you kill him

1:35:12

through the infrared monkey helmet vision I

1:35:15

thought I thought there were I think he killed

1:35:17

another guy so does he kill another guy in

1:35:19

the directors in the theatrical cut cuz he he

1:35:21

then shoot he shoots someone square in the middle of

1:35:23

the forehead and like blows the back of their head

1:35:26

I remember seeing that in this I

1:35:29

thought I remember I don't believe so okay

1:35:31

so he uses the key he exits

1:35:34

and like he kind of see exit

1:35:36

clear like they give up he like

1:35:38

picks up which exit he can go

1:35:40

out and then he goes blank and

1:35:42

our head security guard kills him and

1:35:46

we'll see this guy later on he's sort of

1:35:48

like completely miscast

1:35:50

this guy's been in a million fucking things

1:35:52

and plays our security the guy who snipes

1:35:54

Jeffrey Lewis from like a distance like instead

1:35:57

of the lawnmower yes also fucking Way

1:36:00

too funny funnier than it should be got Jeffrey

1:36:02

Lewis is just having the time of his life

1:36:04

being in the lawnmower man Okay,

1:36:06

so just to jump to directors

1:36:08

cut the monkey shoots someone

1:36:11

at the same time He gets shot and

1:36:13

then it cuts to his POV and it's

1:36:15

rock and now and then we go to

1:36:18

Job being a lawnmower like being job

1:36:20

being at the shed Okay, sounds better

1:36:22

sound because like I do like the

1:36:24

monkey killing more people and also it's

1:36:26

too ambiguous Like the

1:36:28

monkey's death I thought like clearly this

1:36:30

guy shoots him but like it is

1:36:34

It's ambiguous. They're having the monkey doesn't

1:36:36

die in the director's true vision. Yes

1:36:39

the um, I Will

1:36:42

what limited things the only thing I saw

1:36:44

from the directors cut Because

1:36:47

I was like, I'm not watching this I

1:36:50

don't want to watch a two and a half

1:36:52

hour version of the the lawnmower man though I

1:36:54

was tempted but we just did

1:36:56

the whole thing with when we covered Superman to

1:36:58

how upset we were that we watched the Donner

1:37:00

cut I was like fool me once. All right,

1:37:02

I'm not gonna do it again Though

1:37:04

I part of me was like when

1:37:07

the fuck am I ever gonna have an excuse to

1:37:09

watch the lawnmower man? That's how I kind of felt

1:37:11

when I got just got myself I just like ripped

1:37:13

the band-aid off and there was like a moment where

1:37:15

like Six minutes where no one responded and

1:37:17

I was like, I'm just gonna start the fucking movie I

1:37:21

Had I known that there was more of

1:37:24

Roscoe 138. I for sure would have

1:37:26

watched the opening watch

1:37:28

the first 15 minutes It's very Roscoe or

1:37:30

as we later learned his real name is

1:37:32

cybo man so

1:37:35

the chit the uh The

1:37:37

real we do a hard We

1:37:40

do a hard cut to Pierce Brosnan

1:37:42

waking up from a nightmare and of

1:37:44

course the TV's on and it's

1:37:46

full of war Chemical

1:37:50

warfare in the Middle East somewhere Whoa,

1:37:54

right. Is it good for? Absolutely

1:37:58

the shop for

1:38:02

the American economy should

1:38:06

be bad for families

1:38:09

of poor people most

1:38:13

American citizens so

1:38:16

people who don't like to say ready there's

1:38:20

a woman next to him in bed and

1:38:24

he's got he's a handsome guy I

1:38:27

do think it it makes

1:38:30

his casting very limited as he's

1:38:32

already handsome he's corny handsome

1:38:34

but like he should be in

1:38:37

I here's what I think he's very well cast in

1:38:39

is um volcano

1:38:41

or Dante's peak or whatever the fucking one

1:38:43

he's in I think he's not a fake

1:38:45

volcano Tommy don't taste peak

1:38:48

has like such a ridiculous reality

1:38:50

to it where like he kind

1:38:52

of works in it right yeah like

1:38:54

that's like where it's like oh this is this is

1:38:56

Hollywood it's a big Hollywood

1:38:58

movie big Hollywood movie where it's like okay that

1:39:00

dude's the like scientist

1:39:03

1:39:05

1:39:24

yeah because he's supposed to be

1:39:26

kind of like this um that

1:39:28

absolutely makes sense yeah um

1:39:31

Henry K. Bill became Superman worked

1:40:49

out a lot Okay,

1:40:55

I gotta start doing that I bought every one

1:40:57

of these magazines by the way Subscriptions like four

1:40:59

of them when I was in high school Yeah,

1:41:02

I really I like ate a lot of protein and

1:41:04

worked out a lot for about four months Okay,

1:41:09

what'd you do I lifted weights, okay,

1:41:11

what else I did some cardio. All

1:41:13

right Yeah, I'm kind of natural

1:41:15

genetically prone to building muscle and I'm super wealthy and

1:41:17

have a ton of free time And

1:41:20

a team of people helping me. Oh, okay We've

1:41:22

got you know, even that is like usually

1:41:25

it's just like yeah Well, if you go

1:41:27

lift weights and eat right like it'll probably

1:41:29

work Yeah, if it's if it's your job

1:41:31

to work out all day and you have

1:41:33

a personal chef It's gonna happen because Jeff

1:41:35

Fae he doesn't have that no,

1:41:38

he's not at that level He's like no, he's

1:41:40

not me doesn't have fucking personal trainer and like

1:41:42

making a shit ton of money doing Playing

1:41:45

the lawnmower man. No, you just won the

1:41:47

fucking genetic lottery I Can

1:41:51

you write right how tall do you think he

1:41:53

is I think about ten would be my guess

1:41:55

he seems tall I

1:41:58

always thought Barazan was tall But then

1:42:00

Colleen Angelo his wife seemed like almost

1:42:02

the same height So I was like

1:42:04

I don't know what's going on with

1:42:06

Brosnan's height. She's one of my

1:42:08

favorite characters in the movie I can't wait till

1:42:10

we start talking about well. She's virtually cut out

1:42:12

of theatrical cut so I'm curious to hear I

1:42:16

Think and I I don't think he's listening to

1:42:18

six foot so you're right Ben five ten see

1:42:22

my guess is She I

1:42:26

mean I don't think she's a good movie so

1:42:28

like it makes perfect sense why they would cut

1:42:30

her out With no she

1:42:33

the character is fine. We'll get to it

1:42:35

more because this is her introduction It's sort

1:42:37

of a surprise that somebody's in bed with

1:42:39

her him and it turns out It's his

1:42:41

wife, and he gets like he wants some

1:42:44

Tenderness after this nightmare. I just had

1:42:46

a nightmare No is like rich.

1:42:49

She's like I hate when you smoke in bed, and

1:42:51

I gotta tell you I'm with her on

1:42:54

this like yeah It's fucking disgusting Now

1:42:56

he's all horny and it's like you

1:42:58

should be pitying him, but I'm like I keep

1:43:00

I keep Relating

1:43:03

more to her in every aspect of their

1:43:05

relationship That's why I think the character is

1:43:07

so fun in the movie throughout the whole

1:43:09

movie She's supposed to be like some woman

1:43:12

who's not giving him like what he needs,

1:43:14

but in reality He's the bad

1:43:16

husband and also The

1:43:18

craziest thing is that the movie's two and a half hours

1:43:20

long and she's there the whole time like he's like He's

1:43:23

like there's a time lapse where he's like

1:43:26

working with fucking lawnmower man for like a

1:43:28

month training him like his wife is Still

1:43:30

just there by his side. We never see

1:43:32

her them to interact, but she doesn't divorce

1:43:34

him or anything I'm sure a lot of

1:43:36

people relate to it cuz like the amount

1:43:38

of guys who were like Full-blown addicted to

1:43:40

playing video games again that don't As

1:43:43

an adult who don't have jobs or anything

1:43:45

where it's like hey, can we

1:43:47

at least do something like I can't I'm

1:43:50

playing I'm busy. I

1:43:52

got a I'm getting level 60 barbarian

1:43:54

in Diablo 4. I don't have time I

1:43:58

just downloaded Baldur's Gate 3 for my PC

1:44:00

I have no time so

1:44:02

he gets out of bed and he notices

1:44:04

his neighbors will later meet these neighbors This

1:44:06

is Peter the kid who would the actor

1:44:09

will go on to play last action hero

1:44:11

Yeah, the parkettes and Peter

1:44:13

parkette and Peter park they look

1:44:15

very nice and friendly and his

1:44:18

mom is Like

1:44:21

seems very loving to Peter and then the dad

1:44:23

is an absolute nightmare Slapping both

1:44:25

of them around the dad

1:44:27

pulls up at home and he's worn his

1:44:30

hard hat in his car on the drive

1:44:32

home You think maybe you take the hard

1:44:34

hat off, but I guess we have to

1:44:36

know that he works construction so

1:44:38

there I'm curious when they were shooting

1:44:41

this and also about the directors cut

1:44:43

if Pierce Brosnan at any

1:44:45

point was like so my character just watches

1:44:47

all this and doesn't do anything at any

1:44:49

point It makes you fucking hate

1:44:52

him. It's like if I saw somebody beat

1:44:54

their kid in front of me. I Know

1:44:57

I would say something. I might get

1:45:00

my fucking ass kicked, but I would

1:45:02

probably I would be a full you

1:45:04

go full Mr. Kimball style you had

1:45:06

a neighbor's especially like I have right

1:45:08

the solar plex I'd

1:45:12

shaft his nose. I teach that kid how

1:45:14

to fucking punch a solar plex I Hit

1:45:19

man style I'm talking I'm referring to hit

1:45:21

man of course for Chuck

1:45:24

Norris steps out of grogan very

1:45:26

serious Movie to have

1:45:49

the shop laboratory calls

1:45:51

1:45:53

space industries VSI

1:45:55

VSI if you will Tim

1:45:57

call Tim's calls him says

1:46:00

chimp's dead, tried to escape. They

1:46:03

call me Mr. Timbs. Angelo

1:46:07

bugs out. This is the smartest chimp as

1:46:09

we know. Okay.

1:46:11

This is what the chimp he's got. Let

1:46:14

me run with this for like two minutes

1:46:16

here. In the director's

1:46:18

cut, the chimp and this guy shoot

1:46:21

each other that you don't know what's happening. He

1:46:23

goes down, Brosnan has a bad dream

1:46:26

or whatever. I don't even know if

1:46:28

that might even happen after this. The next scene is

1:46:31

Lawn Mower Man in his shed and he's

1:46:34

out there and he's being watched

1:46:36

and it's like danger, warning, villain,

1:46:39

whatever. Then he comes

1:46:41

out and he's like, Cyboman? He's

1:46:45

looking up in the tree. He's like, is that

1:46:47

you, Cyboman? The next shot

1:46:49

is the monkey in the full gear jumping

1:46:52

down from the tree and landing in front of him. He's

1:46:54

like, it really is you. You don't know

1:46:57

that he reads comics called Cyboman yet at

1:46:59

this point. This really don't

1:47:01

make me think like. They

1:47:05

were right to cut a lot of this out. No,

1:47:08

100%. It makes the

1:47:10

movie so much fun in this first act.

1:47:12

Like this is shit you would, if you

1:47:14

showed, if I show you the clip of

1:47:16

what happens next, you would fucking go bananas.

1:47:18

Cyboman has a fucking bullet wound in his

1:47:20

leg and he's like, they hurt you. He

1:47:22

shows sympathy. Then the

1:47:24

monkey zooms in in his infrared on

1:47:27

Job's eye and it's like harmless

1:47:29

friend and he goes and hugs

1:47:31

him. He's like, Cyboman. He

1:47:34

carries him inside. He's like, patches him

1:47:36

up and like helps his leg. Eventually

1:47:40

and I don't know exactly where this is intercut with

1:47:42

the Pearson Neighborship. Eventually

1:47:44

everyone from VSI armed to the

1:47:47

teeth, the priest sees

1:47:49

him like playing with the monkey in the room

1:47:51

and he's like, what the fuck? Calls

1:47:53

the police. The VSI intercept the police call,

1:47:55

show up with a ton of guns and

1:47:58

he's in there with Cyboman. Dr. Angelo

1:48:00

is like wait a minute the lawnmower man. He's

1:48:02

like, you know him. He's like, yes, he does

1:48:05

my lawn He goes let me talk to them

1:48:07

Please and he tries to intercede and he's like

1:48:09

come to the door come to the door

1:48:12

and when he comes if eventually He's like

1:48:14

cybo man. You need to be

1:48:16

nice and he like these look like bad guys.

1:48:18

Dr. Angelo He comes to the door

1:48:20

with the monkey in his arms And

1:48:22

when dr. Angelo is like allow me please

1:48:24

don't hurt the chimp allow me to go

1:48:27

up there He goes up there and cybo

1:48:29

man has like a door or The

1:48:32

monkey has a crazy reaction to seeing dr.

1:48:34

Angelo Snaps pulls

1:48:36

a gun pulls out the gun that he's

1:48:39

still holding on the revolver and points it

1:48:41

at dr. Angelo and then they open fire

1:48:43

Like a hundred like there's like 20 guys

1:48:45

all stationed with the machine guns and shotguns

1:48:48

just fully Hundreds of rounds

1:48:50

the monkey runs away runs up on the

1:48:52

roof of the shed runs around There's like

1:48:54

bullets spraying all around him leaps off the

1:48:57

shed gets up on a tree and you

1:48:59

know You hear the whole time lawnmower man

1:49:04

They cut to a shot of a

1:49:07

fucking fake monkey holding onto the tree

1:49:09

and just bullets squibs

1:49:11

blowing out And

1:49:16

the whole time it has like this little robot cop That's

1:49:19

like laying on the ground and

1:49:21

dr. Angelo's like no you monsters

1:49:23

I said not to and then

1:49:25

he's been like they have

1:49:28

to swear lawnmower man to silence They offer

1:49:30

a big donation to the priest to the

1:49:32

church to keep this all under

1:49:34

wraps And then the and I

1:49:36

don't know if this is in the movie the later

1:49:38

on the priest that night is like you cannot ever

1:49:41

Tell anyone you have to forget this and what's the

1:49:43

best way to forget? Definitely

1:49:45

all this shit is not yeah No points

1:49:47

at the points at the belt the

1:49:49

priest takes a belt off He lifts

1:49:51

up his shirt and the priest like whips

1:49:53

him for like like for like

1:49:56

it's fucked up It's like with her other

1:49:58

reasons later this This is

1:50:00

making me so grateful I didn't watch the

1:50:02

director's cut. But also making me want to

1:50:04

watch it. I will say this was the best part of

1:50:07

the movie. I think I like this version better than... Yeah,

1:50:10

I mean, yeah, that doesn't surprise me. I

1:50:13

don't know. I don't think there's anything else in the movie

1:50:15

that feels like, I bet you

1:50:17

this was cut and this was fun, but there's

1:50:19

nothing as powerful as this. When

1:50:21

he drops from the tree and he's got

1:50:23

like a falling apart laser

1:50:26

tag suit on, you're just like...

1:50:28

And a grown man who

1:50:30

you're seeing for the first time who has

1:50:32

the fucking dumb and dumber hair is going,

1:50:34

Cyboman. You're like, what is this? You know

1:50:36

what's crazy? It might be why they cut

1:50:38

it. It's almost lifted

1:50:40

from exactly what happened to Bubbles.

1:50:43

But it was like, because Michael found

1:50:45

like he came to Neverland and then

1:50:47

like Michael let him in and was

1:50:49

calling him Cyboman. And

1:50:52

I think he like bit Brooke Shields or

1:50:54

something. And then like they're like Brooke Shields.

1:50:57

Handlers were like trying to kill him

1:50:59

and like Quincy Jones tried to intervene

1:51:01

and they ended up shooting Bubbles. I

1:51:04

think, I don't know. You might want to look that one up,

1:51:07

but that might be what happened. Of

1:51:09

course, we know that he was locked up when Eddie

1:51:12

Murphy went over to dinner there. Stay

1:51:17

away from the cage. He

1:51:20

got warned. And according to Shania,

1:51:23

not Shania Twain, Cheryl

1:51:25

Crow, she's the same backup for him,

1:51:27

would hang out with Michael. Like

1:51:29

Bubbles would be on the road with them and then like fucking

1:51:32

Michael would like, you know, jab them with

1:51:34

a pen and stuff and like kind of

1:51:36

smack them. And she was like, I don't think

1:51:38

you should fucking be doing that to them. Michael,

1:51:42

that's the worst thing you're doing to people.

1:51:45

You're going to fucking turn on your ass. It

1:51:49

was more just like not even like worried about Bubbles.

1:51:51

It was like that fucker is going to fucking rip

1:51:53

your face off. Yeah. Blacko Jacko,

1:51:55

whip all your face off. You ain't

1:51:57

got much nose left, boss. Yeah,

1:52:01

that's why I fucking Bubbles went crazy. He didn't know

1:52:03

how to fucking fuck the guy up. He's

1:52:06

like, what do I do? No, I got nothing to rip on

1:52:08

there. He's

1:52:10

been asleep for 18 hours. I

1:52:14

keep waiting me out. I keep waiting for him

1:52:16

to wake up so I can rip his genitals

1:52:18

off, but he doesn't wake up. So

1:52:22

back at a VSI, Pierce is a

1:52:24

leather jacket, of course. He's

1:52:26

the bad boy of VR. The

1:52:29

cigarette doesn't fit with the character, but

1:52:32

that's what makes him the rebel scientist, the

1:52:34

cigarette and jacket. And you know what helps

1:52:36

us too, know that he's smart, is that

1:52:38

he does wear glasses, which does help. Oh,

1:52:41

he is smart. God,

1:52:43

thank God he's in glasses and we know he's smart.

1:52:45

There's a scene later on in the movie where he

1:52:47

knocks Tims out using fighting him the

1:52:49

whole time with a lit sig in his mouth. So

1:52:54

he is, he had enough with

1:52:56

VSI and he's in the shop and

1:52:58

he contemplates going to the private sector.

1:53:02

And they're like, I don't know if that's a good

1:53:04

idea. So what are you saying? The shop will rub

1:53:06

me out? Virtual

1:53:09

reality holds the key to the advancement

1:53:11

of the human mind. And

1:53:13

that's my focus. This

1:53:15

is something we haven't, this is something and

1:53:17

we haven't had something for a while. And

1:53:19

Tim's like, hey man, maybe take a hiatus.

1:53:23

Also, isn't the shop the private

1:53:25

sector too? They

1:53:27

seem to be like a government agency. And I

1:53:29

assume that's why they keep having

1:53:32

to go to Washington and they're

1:53:34

affiliated. They're beyond the private

1:53:36

sector. They're shadow government, it

1:53:38

seems like. We

1:53:42

go up to a church, St. Anthony's, a

1:53:46

truck that says, Terry McKeen's

1:53:48

landscaping pulls up. This

1:53:51

is where we meet our, the great

1:53:53

Jeffrey Lewis, Walks

1:53:56

up to a shack behind the church

1:53:58

calling for Job. And.

1:54:01

You are shocked when I completely slicks When I

1:54:03

first saw it as a kid, I know who

1:54:06

the fuck. Jeffrey Lewis was the mean anything to

1:54:08

me knowing his. Whole. Oeuvre

1:54:11

Oeuvre. And now it's like oh

1:54:13

wow he is going in with

1:54:15

a huge choice. And. He

1:54:17

sees Job's. Kind

1:54:19

of all true that is built ah to

1:54:21

gears with Jesus on it and there's a

1:54:23

little chalk board with a bunch of hash

1:54:25

is on it for all the prayers of

1:54:28

penance for did me brother have you do

1:54:30

and Penistone night What did you do know?

1:54:32

seen we meet. Job.

1:54:35

He said oh you finish big red.

1:54:38

It's an immaculate. Lawn

1:54:41

mower.get caught more mice. Your.

1:54:45

Mom your magic with a machine lad.

1:54:48

Out and get less riot. Another.

1:54:50

Thing is when he has cyber man there.

1:54:53

He's. Like you have powers Seibel Mats

1:54:55

I have powers to. I can do

1:54:57

anything with machines and I thought that

1:54:59

would be like a thing that happens

1:55:02

again in the movie. I'm excited about

1:55:04

that. He's like this idiot savant where

1:55:06

he's got the mind of a child.

1:55:08

but apparently he's this be ultimate your

1:55:10

head where he can build. Anything

1:55:13

right? And and maybe that's part

1:55:15

of what makes him a special

1:55:17

candidate for. This. Vr program. That

1:55:19

would be the tenuous connection I would happen

1:55:21

because you'd like I thought later on he

1:55:23

would be like built like how the machinery

1:55:25

or anything now I just never not mentioned

1:55:28

again are dealing. That's where like Billy Bob

1:55:30

got the idea for Sling Blade. Because.

1:55:32

He's really good with lawnmowers and stuff

1:55:34

in that, right? Like

1:55:36

going about. I. Mean

1:55:38

possibly. I. Know will swing by

1:55:41

was him doing a one man show. I

1:55:43

mean it could have easily been like him seem

1:55:45

lawnmower man in that started the gears turning

1:55:47

little bit. The I'm. Will.

1:55:50

Talk we we've mentioned say he's

1:55:52

a. Hair. Bleach

1:55:56

blonde. With. great

1:55:58

lengths much like jeff Daniels

1:56:00

in dumb and dumber almost identical

1:56:02

and then he wears overalls and

1:56:05

a Maybe

1:56:07

like a henley shirt. I want to say off

1:56:09

the top of my head. Maybe a sweatshirt. Yeah,

1:56:11

it's like a pink crew neck I think like

1:56:13

oh, yeah, but I think he changes into a

1:56:16

different head It's like a long sleeve because you

1:56:18

have to hide how fucking Jack Do you know

1:56:20

later on when he puts on fucking stanger jeans

1:56:22

and a fucking belt buckle we can see his

1:56:24

bod he looks like shlubby

1:56:26

Mario Yeah, yeah, actually

1:56:29

later on he had the ouija's fucked up brother

1:56:31

later on he had a yellow long-sleeve shirt on

1:56:33

He looks like a fucking minion. He's got like

1:56:35

a fucking overall. Yeah, he does look like a

1:56:37

minion His overalls

1:56:39

are way too big for him Yes,

1:56:42

they're always falling off. They're not really serving the

1:56:45

purpose that they should there He's always got a

1:56:47

strap down and it's not like guest style which

1:56:49

was cool in the late 80s We

1:56:52

had guests overalls, which you'd wear one down For

1:56:55

Joe yeah, he's not doing it for fashion It's

1:56:57

just like he can't keep him up and Terry

1:56:59

is his boss and he works for him mowing

1:57:02

lawns And so they're gonna go out try big

1:57:04

red the new mower But they

1:57:06

got a gasket up first and this is where we

1:57:08

get one of our big locations in the movie the

1:57:10

local gas station and

1:57:13

of course the guy working at the

1:57:15

gas station is a complete fucking asshole

1:57:17

and This guy's

1:57:19

got an amazing fucking look yeah, we

1:57:21

should talk because he looks very stunning

1:57:23

90s You're

1:57:26

calling him a stud for real yeah Yeah,

1:57:29

he's like a bet. He's like a bad boy stud

1:57:31

like he's got noodle arms, but he's got he's like

1:57:33

he looked Marnie Marnie was

1:57:35

into him initially you know until

1:57:37

like a joke got it. So

1:57:39

yeah became fucking full-blown stud But

1:57:43

this guy like let's talk he's got tiny

1:57:46

glasses which are very That's

1:57:48

the most nine young last 90s thing about

1:57:50

him right yeah and

1:57:53

then does he have like a Harley

1:57:56

Davidson shirt on possibly it's

1:57:58

like he's got like a sleeveless Yeah, that sounds right. He

1:58:02

may have something Harley on them. And

1:58:07

he's got like a bandana, like a, right, like put

1:58:09

on like, not as a headband style, but as like

1:58:11

a full bandana. Or maybe

1:58:13

not in this sequence, but later on. His

1:58:16

fashion is like hyper specific. He

1:58:18

looks like he's in like, he's in tool. It

1:58:21

doesn't make sense for the town at all. He

1:58:24

looks way too LA. This

1:58:28

is Jake. He's our

1:58:31

guy who works at the perfect

1:58:33

name. He's our guy who works at

1:58:35

the gas station. This gas station looks great. This

1:58:38

gas station is used all the time. The gas station

1:58:41

is awesome. Yeah, the gas station is a famous

1:58:44

movie location gas station that

1:58:46

has just like, is

1:58:49

on a lot when they need a small

1:58:51

town gas station. I wish I knew where it

1:58:53

is. It's got to be LA. I would fill

1:58:55

my, it's got to be super cheap if it's that, if

1:58:57

it's all time, it's got to be like 39 cents

1:58:59

for gas. I would fucking love it. I

1:59:02

fill my car up there all the

1:59:04

time just to fucking soak in the

1:59:06

lawnmower man nostalgia. Hey, pop, move that

1:59:08

shit before Christmas. Just

1:59:11

immediately yells at Jeffrey Lewis, Terry,

1:59:14

we don't know what time of year it is.

1:59:18

And then he's smoking at the

1:59:20

gas station, which freaks out with

1:59:23

the lawnmower man, Joe. This is really,

1:59:25

hey Jake, that's dangerous. Shut

1:59:28

the fuck up and fill up your gas

1:59:30

station. This guy who plays Jake is having

1:59:32

a good time being the bully. He's

1:59:34

got a lot of good lines, or he's like

1:59:37

adding a little fuck you here and there, and

1:59:39

it is popping. I got to give him that.

1:59:41

He's a fun villain and he is like,

1:59:44

fucking Job is fully doing Frankenstein's monster

1:59:47

here. He's like fire bad. That's

1:59:51

dangerous. I like how he's playing

1:59:53

it. Yeah. I mean,

1:59:55

yeah. You got to show an art. Yeah. What are you

1:59:57

going to fucking do? You're in lawnmower man with VR show.

2:00:00

hair was a bad call. Yes,

2:00:02

a 100%. Just make

2:00:04

it messy and like childlike goof. I

2:00:07

think that would just happen. A

2:00:09

bad haircut. Just like, you know,

2:00:11

like a goofy haircut. Yeah, and

2:00:14

then when he- Give him the

2:00:16

other dumb and dumber haircut. Yeah,

2:00:19

this is crazy. I am a bald cut. Cut

2:00:23

to, uh, cut to the inside of

2:00:25

VSI. Tim's is talking to his superior

2:00:27

on a 1984 bad

2:00:30

guy viewing screen, which now we all use

2:00:32

in our day to day constantly. It's

2:00:35

Dean Norris and

2:00:37

he's the head of the shop. Angelo's

2:00:41

erratic, but he does perform and that allows

2:00:43

him a lot. And

2:00:45

then Tim tells me, he's like, well,

2:00:48

without Angelo, there is no project five.

2:00:50

And they're all impressed by how far

2:00:52

project five went. Project

2:00:55

five, of course, is the fucked

2:00:57

up, nootropic drug. A

2:00:59

VR combo that made- That

2:01:02

makes you more aggressive.

2:01:04

Yeah. Completely insane. And

2:01:07

it activates you into like violence.

2:01:09

Trying to get me into, but

2:01:11

then you ultimately decided like- We were concerned- We

2:01:13

were worried about you and I wanted you to just

2:01:15

2:02:00

VR This is

2:02:02

so fucking funny. Dr. Angelo's

2:02:04

enjoying that. He's doing his home

2:02:07

VR program and and this is so

2:02:09

good. This is where you love having

2:02:11

bronzed and cast because He's

2:02:14

committing so hard to like he's in

2:02:16

this program with just a helmet and

2:02:19

a glove on and we'd see some

2:02:21

of it He's picking from a menu

2:02:23

options of like falling rapid

2:02:26

descent Oh Then

2:02:30

his girlfriend unplugs the fucking

2:02:32

console Goddamnit

2:02:34

Caroline, I never unplug a program

2:02:37

when it's engaged Falling

2:02:41

flooding and falling floating

2:02:43

and fight flying what's next

2:02:46

fucking? Said

2:02:50

you're gonna take me to the city this weekend

2:02:54

I'm sorry. I love the three prompts set up

2:02:56

just so you could have the fucking joke in

2:02:58

there Yeah, like oh,

2:03:00

I love the VR sensation. Which one do you

2:03:02

want falling flying or floating? It's like

2:03:04

aren't they sort of three different versions of

2:03:07

the same thing? You're

2:03:10

supposed to fall as fast as possible.

2:03:12

I want to fall horizontally That's

2:03:15

flying. Okay. I Want

2:03:18

to not fall but be almost falling

2:03:21

that's floating. Okay got it Gabriel

2:03:23

this is where we lose Colleen for the

2:03:25

entire movie She wants him to take him

2:03:28

to the city and she comes back for

2:03:30

one more scene But there's a bad where

2:03:32

she's brainwashed by him where she know we

2:03:34

we don't get any of that I know

2:03:36

my storyteller brain once you she gets introduced

2:03:38

and you know, this is a flowers

2:03:42

for Algernon knockoff You

2:03:45

think like well the lawn mower man's gonna

2:03:47

fuck his wife or they're gonna 100%

2:03:50

what I thought and I also thought that

2:03:52

unplugging someone from VR later on the movie was

2:03:54

gonna like come in handy I'm like, yeah,

2:03:56

you shouldn't do like right now where you

2:03:58

put that little nugget like You could

2:04:00

have scrambled my brain, Carolyn. That's exactly

2:04:02

what I thought what they were setting

2:04:05

up and they weren't. No, not

2:04:07

at all. I do like

2:04:09

his immediate like... Where

2:04:12

she's like, you said you were going to take me

2:04:14

to the weekend. He's like, oh yeah, I did. Fuck.

2:04:16

Sorry. I forgot. And this is,

2:04:18

I love, this is such a realistic relationship thing.

2:04:20

He's like, oh my God, I totally forgot and

2:04:22

not let me get dressed and go. He's like,

2:04:25

I can't. And then immediately

2:04:27

is like, God, I love you and like starts

2:04:30

like making out with her. And this is

2:04:32

where you realize, oh, they're married. And he's like,

2:04:34

let's let's fuck right here. And she's like, aren't

2:04:36

we going to go to the city? He's

2:04:38

like, I can't be around people right now. We

2:04:40

don't need to go anywhere. And she's

2:04:42

like, yeah, I do. She's

2:04:45

like, I'm not. She's like, I'm young. I'm

2:04:48

not going to become a recluse for you. I'm

2:04:52

into reality, reality, not this augmented

2:04:54

stuff. Dr. Angelo has

2:04:56

a complicated relationship with human

2:04:59

interaction and intimacy because he clearly

2:05:01

needs it and wants it from his wife. But

2:05:04

then he's also reclusive and then trying

2:05:07

to live in like

2:05:09

a virtual world. I

2:05:11

don't know if they quite ever figured out what they

2:05:13

want. Well, I thought for sure

2:05:15

that he was going to like push when they

2:05:17

were about to like, I mean, seeing

2:05:19

this movie for the first time, he's like, let's make let's

2:05:21

fuck right here. I thought he was going to like

2:05:23

put some here on her. Yeah, exactly. He

2:05:25

wants to do it through the machine.

2:05:28

But like, no, it's like so he's

2:05:30

like starved for intimacy from his wife

2:05:32

and his electrode. Dear asshole. Not

2:05:36

that asshole. The other one. What

2:05:38

do you mean? The other one, the front.

2:05:41

I know. I wait, are you serious? Aren't

2:05:45

you a doctor? Not that kind of doctor. All

2:05:48

women have two assholes, right? And

2:05:51

a belly button. A wet one in the front. Don't

2:05:54

you have a wet asshole in the front? The

2:05:57

orgasm of your life. Place this

2:05:59

sensation. stimulated to the center of

2:06:01

your chest. Have you ever

2:06:03

had what they call an orgasm? Yes.

2:06:12

Who told you about those? I

2:06:15

thought they were only in movies. At VSI, we've

2:06:17

been working on this thing called an orgasm. With

2:06:22

the proper blend of nootropics

2:06:24

and electrodes and VR technology,

2:06:27

we can bring people to what's called

2:06:29

orgasm. It's

2:06:32

a world upon itself. Activate

2:06:35

program six. Caught

2:06:38

to Job Moenlani. He looks

2:06:40

obviously completely fucking insane. A kid runs up

2:06:42

to him. It's Peter, the kid we saw

2:06:44

getting slapped around by his construction worker dad.

2:06:48

You finished Big Red! And

2:06:51

then Peter's mom comes out and

2:06:54

like, Hi, Job! Come on later

2:06:56

for Kool-Aid! Everybody's

2:06:58

friends. He takes out some comic books,

2:07:00

gives him Peter. Oh, right!

2:07:02

A Nuke Master Special Edition! Yeah,

2:07:05

it's 3D, too. Oh,

2:07:07

cool. Where's the glasses? What

2:07:10

glasses? Uh, okay. It doesn't

2:07:12

matter. I have some at home. I

2:07:14

love it. It's a pretty good joke. It's a great

2:07:16

moment. Like the kid feels pity.

2:07:20

Yeah, you just need to tell Job that

2:07:22

it is 3D and he'll just experience it

2:07:24

for himself. Dr.

2:07:27

Angelo's being weird in his place, just

2:07:29

getting day drunk, watching the lawnmower man,

2:07:31

and the fucking boy next door.

2:07:35

We're fucking cooking up the idea of where

2:07:37

to take Project Five. What's

2:07:40

the deal with people not using a bag

2:07:42

on their lawnmower? Like, do you

2:07:44

want to just deal with those clippings on there? Yeah,

2:07:48

I'll tell you why. Some

2:07:51

people think it will mold their

2:07:53

lawn. Okay. And you're

2:07:56

making less waste. It's also very annoying

2:07:59

to... Empty and this

2:08:01

is all stuff. I remember from constantly having mow

2:08:03

lawns as a kid The

2:08:05

the transfer process of taking

2:08:08

the bag into a

2:08:10

garbage bag was incredibly annoying Now that

2:08:12

would be figured it out. They like

2:08:14

it's been better than it

2:08:16

is. I'm saying that yeah, they better But are

2:08:18

boldly advanced it now. I'm sure it's like cry

2:08:21

I mean it's been so long since I mowed a

2:08:23

lawn or even thought about mowing a lawn But

2:08:26

even now they have like robots that mow your lawn.

2:08:28

Yeah, I haven't had a lawn and since

2:08:30

I moved out of my mom's house They got like

2:08:32

room buzzes that fucking do your lawn We

2:08:35

used to have these giant black beetles that

2:08:37

we called crack beetles growing up

2:08:39

And we don't know what they're really but they were

2:08:41

like you would step on them And they would maybe

2:08:43

not even die like they were just really hard and

2:08:46

one time there was one on the on the driveway

2:08:48

My dad was home, and we were like dad.

2:08:50

We were pretty young Dad

2:08:52

just giant crack beetle the driveway, and he's like

2:08:55

should I run it over with the lawnmower? We

2:08:57

were like uh Yeah,

2:08:59

my dad came out like fired up

2:09:01

the lawnmower and ran over a beetle

2:09:03

with it. We were like And

2:09:09

in high fat I was like the fucking really

2:09:11

weird interaction where my dad I didn't respond to

2:09:13

us Lowers are

2:09:15

inherently scary. They're scary break man,

2:09:17

and you've always you always hear I'm

2:09:20

sure you guys have stories somebody who

2:09:22

lost a fucking toe with a with

2:09:24

a lawnmower accident Everybody else I'm

2:09:26

weird like like that happen like why they

2:09:28

limping what's going on? Yeah? Yeah,

2:09:31

fucking lawnmower drop a lawnmower didn't lawnmower the

2:09:33

law without shoes like an idiot yeah,

2:09:37

and you think about all the like drunks of Like

2:09:40

how much more people used to

2:09:42

drink like you know your grandfather in

2:09:44

the fucking 50s or something

2:09:46

Well when like doing your outdoor chores was

2:09:49

like I got to get outside and have

2:09:51

10. We have a cocktail Yeah, I'm gonna

2:09:53

have a fucking beer Don Draper. Yeah,

2:09:56

I'm gonna crack a couple beers do

2:09:58

some lawnwork, and then you fucking the

2:10:01

mower over your toes or you back it up

2:10:03

too fast. Jesus. All my

2:10:05

friends who have ride-ons like

2:10:08

that live in North Carolina and shit like

2:10:10

that, all those guys are like, got a

2:10:12

cup holder, put my fucking pull boy in

2:10:14

there. I'm like, you're drinking and driving a

2:10:16

lawnmower around your property. That was the craziest

2:10:18

thing. Speaking of Don Draper, that was the

2:10:21

craziest shit in Mad Men in my opinion.

2:10:23

The lawnmower in the fucking office. The lawnmower

2:10:25

in the office that fucking runs over Pete's

2:10:27

foot and fucking drops it off. It's a

2:10:29

great fucking episode, man. It's such a fucking-

2:10:31

And then that dude later loses

2:10:34

an eye too, right? Yeah, Ken

2:10:36

loses his eye. I do think that is

2:10:38

a little bit of like, hey, let's torture

2:10:40

the one writer that works, the one actual

2:10:42

writer. Let's make his life

2:10:44

actual fucking hell. Everybody

2:10:47

else succeeds wildly. More

2:10:50

actual creative you are, the worst your life

2:10:53

is in that show. Yeah.

2:10:56

Just for fun, behind the scenes, Matt

2:10:58

Weiner would like hit

2:11:02

back against the actors in

2:11:04

the narrative. January

2:11:07

Jones based about- That's

2:11:09

well known about January Jones that he thought she

2:11:11

was difficult, so they like made her- She

2:11:14

was fat for one season. Yeah. They

2:11:16

made her wear a fat suit for like a full season. That's

2:11:22

cool. What a

2:11:25

show to work on. What a fucking nightmare. Dominic

2:11:28

Dierkis fucking in one scene.

2:11:30

Oh yeah, I forgot Dom's in that. Yeah. Bloo

2:11:32

me away when I saw that. And Weiner,

2:11:35

I got news for you, buddy. It's

2:11:37

Weiner. Doesn't

2:11:40

matter how much spin you want to put on it

2:11:42

or tell us or correct us. Well,

2:11:45

Karma came back at him pretty hard though, right?

2:11:47

Like didn't somebody say

2:11:50

he was like always doing like, let me read your

2:11:52

stuff. And like, wasn't there some fucking weird shit that

2:11:54

went out with him? It was a little handsy. Like

2:11:56

there was somebody that helped him. I think the one

2:11:58

they won the Emmy on. The writer's assistant that

2:12:01

worked with him on it, it was credited. He

2:12:03

said, now you got it. You owe me, you

2:12:05

got to fuck me for this, you know,

2:12:07

or whatever type. Something like something along those

2:12:09

lines, like something

2:12:11

a little creepy like that. We had

2:12:14

a Miss Wiener and that was a

2:12:16

teacher in my school. And she would always be like,

2:12:18

it's Weiner, guys. And we were like, sorry,

2:12:21

not to us 14 year olds.

2:12:24

You guys know the story. I'm sure I brought

2:12:26

it up on the show before, but it seems

2:12:28

relevant for this episode. You know,

2:12:31

Stephen King directed the movie Maximum

2:12:33

Overdrive, which he

2:12:35

was full blown coke

2:12:37

problem in the like

2:12:41

serious addiction, height

2:12:43

of his powers, actually directing

2:12:45

a movie. He wrote

2:12:47

the screenplay for not based on one of

2:12:50

his stories, just a full blown Stephen King

2:12:52

project. He

2:12:54

is coked out of his

2:12:56

mind, gets the cinematographer from Italy. I

2:12:58

believe this was his first Hollywood

2:13:01

production. It was definitely his last. I

2:13:04

think Maximum Overdrive looks incredible. I

2:13:07

like the movie. I

2:13:09

do it eventually. I can't wait. Classic

2:13:11

Stephen King. And it's hard to execute.

2:13:13

And what they do visually, I think,

2:13:15

is effective because it's just like Emilio's

2:13:17

great. I like his relationship with that

2:13:20

girl that that he meets. Like

2:13:22

it's like weirdly sexy. What's

2:13:24

her name? Who plays Elisa Simpson? Always saying

2:13:26

Curtis is fucking burned in my brain. Yeah,

2:13:29

you're at least Smithy. Like Curtis. No.

2:13:32

And I'm sorry. Yeah. No, I was going to say

2:13:35

I had her. We had her on Raised by TV

2:13:37

and I was like, I have to ask you about

2:13:39

Maximum Overdrive. And she said I've never worked on a

2:13:41

production. They would drop off like pallets

2:13:43

of beer while they

2:13:45

were shooting. She's like, I've seen someone

2:13:48

do a beer run for the last set

2:13:50

up and everyone starts drinking right after we

2:13:52

arrived. She's like, but everyone was fucked up

2:13:54

all day long on set. They would like

2:13:57

pallets of beer are coming in like every

2:13:59

single day. She's like she said it felt

2:14:01

legit dangerous all the time like the actors have

2:14:03

to keep looking out for each other and being

2:14:05

like I don't think you should lay under that

2:14:08

thing in this scene like they were constantly like

2:14:10

trying to protect each other and shit It was

2:14:12

right because the cinematographer so they have this Much

2:14:15

like this movie there is a scene and that

2:14:17

people get their rocks off bringing up online Like

2:14:20

actually in another Stephen King thing. There's

2:14:22

also a motor that lawnmower

2:14:25

that drives itself If

2:14:27

you don't know maximum overdrive the premises Every

2:14:30

machine on the planet start seemingly has

2:14:32

a life of its own and starts

2:14:35

attacking humans Except a

2:14:37

small group of survivors that

2:14:39

almost become the slave of these trucks filling

2:14:41

them up for gas. Yeah at it. So

2:14:44

There's one scene where a lawnmower

2:14:47

runs somebody over. This

2:14:49

was accomplished by getting a remote

2:14:52

control lawnmower That

2:14:55

looks great In

2:14:58

the scene, but apparently they lost control

2:15:00

of it over the lawnmower ran over

2:15:02

an apple box Which

2:15:04

is a common prop. It's just like a small

2:15:07

wooden crate every set there's

2:15:09

like apple boxes all over the fucking place and

2:15:13

A disorganized sets I should say It's

2:15:16

splinters everywhere. One of the splinters

2:15:18

goes into the eye of the

2:15:20

cinematographer. He loses his eye for

2:15:22

fucking ever And

2:15:25

he sues Stephen King wins

2:15:27

Stephen King has to pay him out goes

2:15:30

to Italy never works in America again Wow,

2:15:33

I didn't know that so all those actors are

2:15:36

very correct in being like hey, maybe we should

2:15:38

fucking Be

2:15:42

worried about stuff this guy doesn't seem like he knows

2:15:44

what the fuck you do Because

2:15:46

he probably didn't and all that beer was probably

2:15:48

going straight to him. Oh,

2:15:50

yeah, what's the best? Wild

2:15:53

lawnmower movie is it point

2:15:55

break maximum overdrive lawnmower man

2:15:57

or honey. I shrunk the

2:15:59

Kids that's a call

2:16:02

great options the point break one really stresses

2:16:04

me out because it feels like that's

2:16:06

just like It's an add

2:16:08

that volume to you know like the noise

2:16:10

is like extra scary. Yeah, yeah more

2:16:13

scary than this The

2:16:15

straight story. I think you could also throw

2:16:17

in yeah, oh shit good call The

2:16:20

haven't seen the straight story. I believe David

2:16:24

Lynch calls it the first movie

2:16:26

I ever invited my parents to

2:16:30

That he made a

2:16:32

very wholesome story about a guy Traveling

2:16:35

a long distance I think to go to his brother's

2:16:37

funeral in a riding mower Memory

2:16:40

serves me. I think that's the premise so

2:16:46

The kid Peters like hey, dr. Angelo

2:16:48

can we play cyber boogie today and

2:16:52

meanwhile his dad Is

2:16:54

like hey get over here peer just

2:16:56

fucking openly slaps him Because

2:16:59

he's told you to stop playing with that moron

2:17:02

And dr. Angelo just stands there

2:17:04

like an idiot doing fucking nothing watch

2:17:07

I mean the scene it's

2:17:09

weird for the character to me

2:17:11

of like just doing absolutely fucking nothing It's

2:17:13

supposed to be a kind of like I

2:17:15

even hey, it's fucking his family. I'm gonna

2:17:18

mind my own business The

2:17:20

scene is set supposed to accomplish this it's supposed

2:17:22

to make him feel bad for Job

2:17:24

because of this guy's openly calling

2:17:27

them a fucking moron and it

2:17:29

clearly hurts Job's feelings. He's sad

2:17:31

about it There's

2:17:33

a history of scientists not

2:17:36

stepping in because it's like Doc Brown I

2:17:38

mean Marty wasn't getting slapped around by

2:17:41

George McFly But he

2:17:43

was being abused by neglect and

2:17:46

Doc Brown is Educated

2:17:48

and he could have encouraged Marty to

2:17:50

like You know go

2:17:52

to college or you know and Oppenheimer

2:17:54

has that scene where Einstein's getting a

2:17:56

wedgie and Oppen I

2:17:59

copy doesn't get involved He kind of

2:18:01

like you know, hey, this job is to observe

2:18:03

is what he says and

2:18:05

Albert's crying and shit I'm

2:18:11

the ignore destroyer of assholes. I

2:18:14

have become a nor The

2:18:24

feeling pity for Job I had a

2:18:27

hard time in this movie because his

2:18:29

look is so goofy Yeah,

2:18:31

I mean maybe at the time it hit

2:18:33

a little harder But now it feels so

2:18:35

much like it's been parodied that like look

2:18:37

like it was hard for me to ever Muster

2:18:40

up sympathy because it did feel like

2:18:42

sketch character the whole time He he's

2:18:44

really supposed to be a tragic character

2:18:46

and I I kind of Felt

2:18:49

the most bad for him when he just

2:18:51

didn't even know what 3d glasses were like

2:18:53

that was like the most Tragic he felt

2:18:55

to me even though the priest

2:18:58

is smacking him around. Yeah, I got

2:19:00

enough for him Yeah,

2:19:03

the 3d glasses thing did hit harder and

2:19:05

I got it handed to the the kid

2:19:07

from last action hero He may hold it.

2:19:09

He's what sold it so hard. Just like

2:19:12

Yeah, I think I got some at home. No big deal

2:19:16

Yeah, I gotta find some new friends It felt

2:19:18

very real too because it's like you wouldn't be

2:19:20

rude in that moment as a kid you would

2:19:23

you would be you know Most wouldn't there's

2:19:25

so we cut back to the church The

2:19:28

priest is in there and he's mad that

2:19:31

there's a bunch of bugs at the altar

2:19:33

Apparently he told job to like spray raid

2:19:35

at these like termites. Maybe I don't know

2:19:37

I don't know what the fuck they are.

2:19:39

They're not termites, but like They're

2:19:42

like white little Past

2:19:44

of some kind. Yeah, I

2:19:47

like seeing real bugs though You're

2:19:51

always chasing them around It

2:19:55

has new variant it has really weird

2:19:58

energy this sequence like the priest He's

2:20:00

just like the priest vibe is very interesting

2:20:02

this whole movie. He's kind of like really

2:20:05

worked up about the bugs and shit and

2:20:07

it's like. Where are you boy? And

2:20:11

he's kind of giving a little

2:20:13

exposition as he's walking, leaving the

2:20:15

church and walking over to Job's

2:20:18

shack. Which is

2:20:20

kind of. You're like, I came a war to the church and

2:20:22

you're supposed to do your job. I do

2:20:24

like his shack is nice with kind of set

2:20:26

up in the trees and all that stuff. Yeah.

2:20:29

I thought of that the second I saw it,

2:20:31

I'm like, it's this world has got me the

2:20:34

fucking current like housing market and like shit has

2:20:36

got me so worked up that I'm like, I'd

2:20:38

fucking kill to have like my own shack like

2:20:40

this. He

2:20:43

doesn't have a bathroom. There's a visible outhouse

2:20:46

outside of it, but you're like still. Job

2:20:48

shack from lawnmower man sells under asking

2:20:51

price. You

2:20:53

know, baby, Joe,

2:20:56

got me a lawnmower seats about

2:20:58

20 a

2:21:00

little old place where a priest

2:21:03

will beat you. Job shack.

2:21:06

Joe. And roof on

2:21:09

the job shack. Bell

2:21:13

hanging right. You

2:21:15

like the, um, that he's

2:21:17

like, this is why he's bring down the wrath

2:21:19

of God on him. That's why we call them

2:21:22

job really

2:21:24

put in that in case you missed it.

2:21:27

Oh, the characters name that in the film.

2:21:29

That's what that means. And

2:21:31

then he's telling me and he yells at job

2:21:34

and jobs like all like, you know, cowering below

2:21:36

him. And he's like, you know,

2:21:38

which of God's lessons helps you

2:21:40

remember best job. And

2:21:43

this is insane. Now I'm curious if this

2:21:45

is, did you also have this gabris? He

2:21:49

would be being, maybe at

2:21:51

this point, maybe I like conflated the two,

2:21:53

but I swear it happens earlier. It

2:21:55

happens because of the memory. Okay. Because

2:21:58

now he, now he beats. him

2:22:01

and they make a big moment of like he's got

2:22:03

to pick which one he wants to be. You

2:22:05

know, remember my chores, father, I promise.

2:22:08

And he picks the belt. Oh,

2:22:11

interesting. Yeah, no, I don't. It

2:22:13

makes way more sense in

2:22:15

this version, although the

2:22:18

bugs seem very convenient. At least

2:22:20

they tip to it before

2:22:22

when Larry's like, my brother, the priest

2:22:25

treats you like shit. Even

2:22:27

having that little bit of setup like it gives

2:22:29

it makes it kind of work. The

2:22:33

I would love to I got to look

2:22:35

up who ultimately edited this and if they

2:22:38

were fully like if everyone

2:22:40

credited if they

2:22:43

handed this off to some old timer to

2:22:45

like try to clean up at some point.

2:22:47

See what you can do with this. Yeah. The

2:22:51

you're a wizard. Thank

2:22:54

you, Mr. Baird. I

2:22:57

mean, it is the guy who is

2:22:59

credited as Alan Baumgarten Baumgarten

2:23:03

and he's I mean,

2:23:06

he's a

2:23:09

serious editor. So like they definitely gave it

2:23:11

to it was

2:23:13

fascinating reading the book

2:23:16

like in an editing room far, far away by

2:23:19

the guy who heard Star Wars.

2:23:21

Yes. And Paul

2:23:23

Hirsch, I think that was his first name.

2:23:25

But the if

2:23:28

you're a really good editor, you wind

2:23:30

up getting stuck places where they just

2:23:32

sort of throw all

2:23:35

the crap at you of like

2:23:37

you become their Mr. Fix It. Well, you

2:23:39

take it like at a permanent residency

2:23:41

at a studio and then

2:23:44

you're their head editor and you just

2:23:46

come in and do patchwork and and

2:23:48

fix stuff. And it's like they'll

2:23:50

take it because it's a steady job. They're

2:23:53

not. But then it's like a real bummer

2:23:55

because you're constantly just handed crap. And

2:23:57

they're kind of dangling like, hey, maybe you could direct a

2:23:59

movie. They really like when editors

2:24:01

want to direct movies, but I mean this

2:24:04

guy is edited a fucking

2:24:06

lot of shit I mean he is just

2:24:08

worth so well New Line had some had

2:24:11

the magic Formula for a while to where

2:24:13

they would buy these independent films that were

2:24:15

above average And then they had tons of

2:24:17

juice and they would just get you know

2:24:19

good people and posts and stuff and kind

2:24:21

of Put some money behind him

2:24:23

and advertising and this is so this is right when

2:24:25

he's starting out the Walmart man's one of his first

2:24:27

movies But then

2:24:29

he he would go on to do Of

2:24:33

course Erie, Indiana show I really

2:24:36

enjoyed as a kid right after this And

2:24:39

a Lord of illusions, but then he

2:24:41

must have gotten hooked up with Like

2:24:45

recently he did Being

2:24:48

the Ricardos trial the Chicago 7

2:24:50

Oh Venom

2:24:54

Molly's game. Yeah, he must be Sorkin's

2:24:56

guy American hustle too

2:24:58

like so he's worked a lot on

2:25:00

stuff dinner for schmucks With

2:25:05

some difficult folks yeah zombie

2:25:08

land Yeah,

2:25:11

I'm The I mean

2:25:14

clearly you're safe in his hands because

2:25:16

you know these guys the

2:25:18

guys you listed can be their own worst enemies, you

2:25:20

know, and so having like a kind

2:25:23

of like hey, let's That's

2:25:25

a good reference. That's a good point Hey,

2:25:29

we got to get someone to fucking slow

2:25:31

Sorkin down with what he's going for over

2:25:33

there Let's wrangle you in a little bit

2:25:35

there buddy boy We

2:25:38

get our first journal entry I really love

2:25:40

this device of Doctor

2:25:43

2:25:49

2:25:54

way too easy. Yeah, he's wasted in

2:25:56

this one. Yeah work marriage life. What

2:25:59

a joke And

2:26:01

then his wife walks on is like It's

leaving Oh, this is she

2:26:15

goes out with the girls whiskey is not

2:26:17

gonna help your depression. Yeah, it's probably making

2:26:20

it worse Yeah, the

2:26:22

sword move is to get rid of her

2:26:24

because otherwise she'd be like why the fuck

2:26:26

are you having the fucking overall wearing? guy

2:26:30

it is a better move to get rid

2:26:32

of her all that's why it's crazy like

2:26:34

later on the movie when Joe she's like

2:26:36

Job you're back She

Jesus that he built and

2:27:17

like You're making a little dash. He

2:27:19

finishes the prayer does like three dashes That's

2:27:23

a moment where he like laughs to himself like

2:27:25

he's like he he like decides to make that

2:27:27

choice which is kind of interesting he's like Like

2:27:30

looks around like yes I why am I doing this

2:27:33

and you know he like he can't count or

2:27:35

anything like it's like the and also you can tell

2:27:37

like That's only in

2:27:39

there because they go from This

2:27:44

2:27:59

the the director's cut they're like by the

2:28:01

way this has jump cuts and it's fucking

2:28:03

2:28:11

film stock a little bit or seem to change

2:28:13

in like export a little bit too this

2:28:16

hiatus is driving me insane

2:28:19

what I think just think

2:28:22

2:28:24

I've got to find a way to continue

2:28:27

the work on my own and just

2:28:30

as he says that there's some you

2:28:33

know a lawnmower sound in the background he

2:28:36

goes outside to talk to job and

2:28:39

he's like you like games right and job

2:28:41

is this is a very funny intro to

2:28:44

job he finishes gassing the motor he goes

2:28:46

2:28:49

then he's like job you like playing games right he's

2:29:02

no stranger danger worries or anything no not

2:29:04

at all and he's and Angelo

2:29:06

is taken aback by it in a funny way

2:29:08

where he's like okay yeah let's go in there

2:29:11

the mind the Douglas movie hadn't come out yet

2:29:13

to where you worry

2:29:16

about what a game could actually

2:29:18

do to you yeah wait we

2:29:20

worry about disclosure oh sorry

2:29:22

now I know

2:29:24

what you're saying we're

2:29:27

surviving the game getting stuck

2:29:30

in the fucking quantum mania

2:29:33

oh no everything's

2:29:35

fucking small let's like subatomic

2:29:38

Michelle Pfeiffer's in there and fucking poking

2:29:41

around so they start

2:29:43

with a very simple video game to get

2:29:45

him on board of like dragging little

2:29:48

icons into a question mark and it

2:29:50

seems completely arbitrary whether you're right or

2:29:52

wrong but he does get a victory

2:29:55

and he's excited and then

2:29:57

cut to later him and Peter

2:30:00

VR chairs Now

2:30:02

why why does fucking dr. Angela have like three of

2:30:04

these and the face and then why was he sitting

2:30:06

on one of these? When he was doing his flying

2:30:08

shit. No, I know Fucking

2:30:11

he was like a marker lounger Yeah,

2:30:14

and then this one they have like these kind of

2:30:16

like motor like where you're prone You

2:30:19

know I'm moving around like it's moving around I

2:30:21

would love to see like the behind

2:30:24

the scenes where there's just like two grips under

2:30:26

there like just jerky I

2:30:32

Think like you can go to like in yelling like

2:30:34

those video game places They're

2:30:36

like arcades for adults, but they don't really

2:30:39

have arcade games. They just have like kind

2:30:41

of VR Like

2:30:44

adjacent stuff a J. Yeah adjacent just like

2:30:46

these are like the games at home But

2:30:48

a little bit different like you play this

2:30:50

dance game here They're like everything's just kind

2:30:52

of like bigger and it's for people who

2:30:54

don't actually like video games Yeah, like if

2:30:56

you like video games, you're like this is

2:30:58

boring, but like if you're like, they're just

2:31:00

whoa cool Look, they're like they're

2:31:03

it's basically like drinking games. It's like

2:31:05

something to do while you're drinking like

2:31:07

a second date dance dance metamorphosis

2:31:12

It's dance revolution there was like one degree

2:31:14

off of like and it's like you

2:31:16

got a VR headset It's like disgusting

2:31:18

because like five people sweating it No

2:31:21

in the worst fear is that somebody

2:31:23

is just recording you looking like an

2:31:25

idiot and like when they you know

2:31:27

when you like Like Pierce Brosnan in

2:31:29

this movie. Yeah, literally the James Bond

2:31:31

looks like fucking 80. Oh I

2:31:36

Somebody told me they were working on this VR

2:31:38

thing and they showed it was some

2:31:41

like South by Southwest

2:31:43

or some you know Big

2:31:46

thing that's like a mix of entertainment

2:31:48

like the different booths and hobby or

2:31:50

bar damn watch it it's like this

2:31:52

tearjerker story in VR and And

2:31:56

like the the reaction they want is like people

2:31:58

crying and it's about like, you know somebody

2:32:00

dying and it's supposed to be this

2:32:02

emotional gut wrenching thing and Even

2:32:04

people are like like those pretty good and

2:32:06

crying and shit And I'm like, yeah, we

2:32:08

got him and Javier Bardem takes a headset

2:32:10

off and he goes porno

2:32:12

is going to be crazy VR

2:32:23

reaction which I really appreciate and

2:32:25

he's right Get

2:32:28

that with like a you know, electromagnetic

2:32:31

suck suit Once

2:32:36

they get crazy, giosh Gyros

2:32:39

fears and cyber suits for porno.

2:32:41

It's going to be crazy. Are

2:32:44

you wearing your telemetry jerk off suit? Of

2:32:49

course gabris is referencing the suit from FX

2:32:51

to Before

2:32:54

that I was referencing the suit from runaway

2:32:56

the electromagnetic All

2:33:00

the famous suits suits we talk about

2:33:02

constantly that there's no reason that we

2:33:04

should know And in the

2:33:06

gourd and whenever we did the gourd thing, I

2:33:08

referenced the dune suits as well Whenever

2:33:10

we will be covering the Netflix show

2:33:13

suits pretty soon. Yes. We I knew

2:33:15

you were referencing dune suits the

2:33:19

But do those have a name? Yeah,

2:33:21

they must We'll do

2:33:23

the we'll do the the 80s. Yeah What

2:33:30

is the skill suit in dune

2:33:32

how many people what is it

2:33:34

a military suit and a electromagnetic

2:33:37

Saturn scatter suit And you're talking about the

2:33:40

series suits on USA that ran in the

2:33:42

2000s that we would never cover have anything

2:33:44

to do with our But now it's on

2:33:46

super popular and just a stanger got a

2:33:48

whiff of that. I Just

2:33:52

keep seeing like 50 billion

2:33:54

people are watching suits. Yeah, and then

2:33:56

you guys be

2:34:00

fucking furious, right? Oh, yeah. Because it's

2:34:02

at the peak of how talking about

2:34:04

streaming has bad... I mean, the guilds

2:34:06

are using it as a news source. Oh,

2:34:11

it's a big... Yeah, I mean, it should

2:34:13

be. And it makes sense. Yeah. And these

2:34:15

people are making nothing. Netflix sucks. All they

2:34:17

have is the old TV shows made in

2:34:19

the old models. It's all anybody watches. Every

2:34:22

once in a while, one of their things breaks through.

2:34:24

But that is the exception

2:34:27

to the rule. It's almost always like Friends

2:34:29

or The Office. The Friends, the American office people,

2:34:31

none of those guys got paid big time from

2:34:33

Netflix. The licensing fees are so low. No, they

2:34:35

get nothing. Yeah. The only

2:34:37

thing you get is people watch your shit shit. Right.

2:34:40

And then maybe those guys can now go out and

2:34:42

you know what they're gonna do? They're gonna start a

2:34:44

podcast where they're gonna watch old episodes of suits.

2:34:46

The office ladies are doing... Oh, yeah, the suits people.

2:34:48

Yeah, I'm saying. Jenna Fisher and

2:34:51

Angela Kinzley already are doing that. So

2:34:54

they should thank Ted Sarandos and

2:34:56

Reed Hastings on their hands and

2:34:58

knees that they can do a

2:35:00

podcast about the show they did

2:35:03

because of the promotional

2:35:06

aspect of it on Netflix. You're right,

2:35:08

Netflix. Thank you. You did it.

2:35:11

Thanks. So Job loses

2:35:14

pretty badly to Peter. He's like,

2:35:16

I was flying upside down. Peter

2:35:19

feels bad. Yeah. Even Dr.

2:35:21

Angelo is like, Peter, why don't you go get us some

2:35:23

drinks? I want to talk to Joe for a second. He's

2:35:25

like, hey, would you like to... He's like, I was

2:35:28

flying doctor upside down, Dr. Angelo. He's

2:35:31

like, yeah, I have all kinds of games. I

2:35:33

even have ones that could make you smarter. But

2:35:36

we could never tell anyone. He's like, don't

2:35:38

worry. I live with a priest. I have

2:35:40

all kinds of secrets. I

2:35:42

know about secrets. I work at a Catholic

2:35:45

church. The

2:35:47

termites love to come. They should have put that in the... Oh,

2:35:50

God, damn it, Job. The

2:35:52

altar is full of come termites. I

2:35:58

told him to clean up my jizz for... the

2:36:00

altar or have been having unclean

2:36:02

thoughts. If

2:36:05

you're in a religious situation and there's

2:36:09

bugs around, there's probably

2:36:11

a demon nearby. Yeah.

2:36:13

From what I know about- If you!

2:36:17

It might be a demon. It's a pretty church. If

2:36:20

it's a bad sign of bugs or

2:36:22

climbing out of shit in your- If

2:36:24

bugs are climbing out of your Bible,

2:36:26

there might be a demon. It's

2:36:31

bad. I mean, you may need an

2:36:33

exorcist more than he needs fucking Job.

2:36:35

If you see Jamie Foxx

2:36:38

playing running back, you

2:36:40

might get a steaming demon, Willy Beeman. Steaming

2:36:46

Willy Beeman from any given Sunday? The

2:36:48

steaming demon, Willy Beeman. Is

2:36:53

it Jamie Foxx or am I absolutely racist in

2:36:55

this moment? No, it's for sure Jamie Foxx, but

2:36:57

I think it's just- I'm and Willy Beeman. I

2:36:59

don't know if it's steaming demon. You might have

2:37:01

given him the nickname. I mean, I hope you're

2:37:03

right. Could

2:37:07

be so wrong. He's steaming Willy Beeman for

2:37:09

sure, but I don't remember the demon

2:37:11

part, but I like it. Or

2:37:15

am I thinking of the steaming deacons? I

2:37:17

mean, demon doesn't get tossed

2:37:20

around enough for nickname purposes.

2:37:22

No, Speed Demon, the Michael Jackson

2:37:24

song. Well, yeah,

2:37:26

and that's not a nickname or for anybody

2:37:28

either. So

2:37:30

that doesn't help us. Well, somebody's

2:37:32

a speed demon in that. And

2:37:34

that's their nickname? Yeah, in the song, possibly. You

2:37:37

are saying the subject of the song

2:37:39

technically has the nickname Speed Demon. Well,

2:37:42

I mean, songs about somebody who's a

2:37:44

speed demon. It's a possibility. It's a

2:37:46

possibility that it could be someone's nickname.

2:37:48

I'll give you that. Definitely.

2:37:51

Oh, I think it's a possibility. It's related

2:37:53

to something that we kind of talk about.

2:37:55

Thank you for the possibility. Thank you for

2:37:58

giving me the possibility. I want

2:38:00

to thank you guys for the possibility. Mission

2:38:03

possibility. Pull

2:38:08

over boy and get your ticket right. It

2:38:10

could be about molestation, you know. Could

2:38:14

be. Possibly.

2:38:17

We get this nice little scene of Job

2:38:19

polishing the crucifix and being like, don't tell

2:38:21

anybody, but you probably already know. I'm

2:38:24

telling Jesus he's going to do Dr.

2:38:26

Angelo's smart games and the priest kind

2:38:28

of walks by and be like, oh,

2:38:31

Joe, be so crazy. Well, time

2:38:34

to jerk off. It's

2:38:37

like you don't have a fucking personal relationship with

2:38:39

Jesus, you fucking asshole. Job's crazy.

2:38:43

You're the one with the collar on. Job's

2:38:45

so weird praying to Jesus. I

2:38:47

roll. Doesn't he know

2:38:49

he doesn't exist? What

2:38:53

a simpleton praying. Wasting

2:38:56

your time. Wasting

2:38:58

his time not to realize. And it's just a

2:39:00

simple way to get people like him under your

2:39:02

thumb to do whatever you want. Spray bugs. Pick

2:39:06

up your cum. It's mostly a voting

2:39:09

block at this point. So

2:39:15

cut to Dr. Angelo checking out

2:39:18

Job's vitals. Oh,

2:39:22

yeah. Healthy as a mule. I just

2:39:24

need to give you a shot of vitamins. That

2:39:27

looks like a gun. He's got

2:39:29

like one of those inoculation guns

2:39:31

that they use in movies. Yeah,

2:39:33

I love it. Top

2:39:36

load. Top load the fucking vaccine

2:39:38

in it and shoot someone in the fucking

2:39:40

neck. Do people say healthy as a mule? No,

2:39:43

they say like strong as a mule. How strong

2:39:45

is a mule? Healthy as a horse. Healthy as

2:39:47

a horse. Hungry as a horse. Maybe it's an

2:39:49

Irish. Hung like a horse. Hung

2:39:51

like a mule. Yeah, hung like a horse.

2:39:55

Now let me just keep them, baby. I

2:40:00

can't believe your nickname is the Lawn Mower man. I

2:40:08

got like a dozen more. Fertilism mule.

2:40:10

Is that where you, can't they not

2:40:12

procreate or something? Mules? No,

2:40:15

they can't. They can't. Because

2:40:17

they're half horse, half donkey. They're hunkies. That's

2:40:19

right. I'm a mule. Horny

2:40:23

as a mule. I had a threesome. I'm

2:40:25

a mule. Unlike

2:40:29

a mule. Clint Eastwood. More

2:40:31

form of cocaine in your asshole than a mule?

2:40:36

Maybe Blood Flart can tell us about this.

2:40:40

The military used to use a pneumatic

2:40:42

system to inject people with, have we

2:40:44

talked about this on the podcast before?

2:40:47

They used to use a, because

2:40:50

I remember looking this up. It

2:40:54

could have come up during Total Recall or something.

2:40:57

The initial wave of

2:41:00

vaccines, because the military

2:41:02

has to give out so many vaccines or did

2:41:04

before it became a political thing. They

2:41:07

would use a pressurized

2:41:10

air gun out of a

2:41:12

hose to just fucking

2:41:15

get one guy after another. That was

2:41:17

a common practice until all

2:41:20

these guys would get tuberculosis or some

2:41:23

shit on kids. Jet.

2:41:25

I'm looking it up. It looks like it says jet

2:41:27

injector is the names of that tool. I

2:41:31

believe you had to stay very still.

2:41:35

Otherwise it could rip a chunk of your arm off.

2:41:37

Yeah, it makes sense because there's a needle going in

2:41:39

there for a second, like a quick second.

2:41:43

Suck, suck, suck.

2:41:45

It's like the shit Javier Bardem puts holes

2:41:47

in people's heads with in No Country for

2:41:50

Old Men. They're just injecting

2:41:52

guys in the shoulder. If you're scared and

2:41:54

stuff, it will fuck you up. It

2:41:57

probably was because of AIDS that they

2:41:59

stopped doing it. Probably like in the

2:42:01

mid 90s Like

2:42:04

they stopped doing like at work once

2:42:06

enough people got AIDS Yeah, like

2:42:08

not early enough for it to actually make a difference.

2:42:10

I They

2:42:12

freaked me out in total recall like I would not

2:42:14

like where and they always go into the neck and

2:42:16

shit. I Mean obviously

2:42:19

they weren't doing that for these guys vaccines

2:42:21

But no, I started like a sci-fi just

2:42:23

like put yeah put it put a little

2:42:25

bottle in a gun and and

2:42:29

Jesus sound effect of yeah Brain

2:42:35

stem strobe engage He

2:42:39

gets like all these Spencer's gifts tapestries

2:42:41

flying Adam and she's gonna hit me

2:42:45

General entry May 10th The

2:42:49

electrochemistry of his brain has responded

2:42:51

better than I expected Expected I'm

2:42:53

gonna step up the vital treatments and

2:42:55

increase the dosage of nootropic drugs All

2:42:59

this is feels seems horrible for

2:43:01

Joe like he's always screaming and

2:43:04

seemingly during all of this

2:43:07

Yeah, yeah fucking has seizures and shit It's

2:43:09

like this is where we get so Joe

2:43:12

back on the job is is like, you

2:43:14

know Ask like Larry's or Terry's like

2:43:16

what's the matter? He's like, I'm hungry. He's

2:43:18

like, okay. We'll go eat This

2:43:21

is where we get the for the lonely neighbor She's

2:43:26

super attractive He plays

2:43:28

it actually perfect. I love the way she

2:43:30

plays this she's also having fun and she's

2:43:32

got crazy fucking lines Yeah,

2:43:34

oh, yeah. Now. I don't know if this

2:43:36

is in the theatrical version, but later on

2:43:40

Terry talks about her as

2:43:42

like she she likes to fuck young guys

2:43:45

like like yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What's her boyfriend

2:43:47

left? She's been fucking every young stud around

2:43:49

town putting legs up, but he gives her

2:43:51

agencies. He's like she likes it and wants

2:43:53

Yeah, he's like he's a whore or paid.

2:43:55

She does this for fun. Yeah It's

2:43:59

pretty big moment. One

2:44:03

of my issues with this is the

2:44:05

bad guys get their comeuppance too many

2:44:08

times. Because

2:44:13

that's all we needed. His

2:44:16

mind is like a clean empty sponge.

2:44:23

Synaptic activity has increased by 400% in less than a

2:44:25

month. His

2:44:28

brain is responding to the new tropics. All

2:44:32

these dates he drops means that

2:44:36

just short of a month, so 20ish

2:44:39

days, this lawnmower man has

2:44:41

been coming over his house and fucking

2:44:43

doing drugs and fucking playing games and

2:44:46

shit. And

2:44:50

in the director's cut, the wife is assumed

2:44:53

to be upstairs this whole time. And

2:44:55

then also, you have this

2:44:57

moment where he has like talked to where Dr. Angelo

2:45:00

talks to the priest and

2:45:02

is like, I need him to do some

2:45:04

remodeling around my house to justify why he's

2:45:06

gone so much. And the priest is

2:45:08

like, Joe doesn't really have

2:45:10

that skill set. Angelo's

2:45:14

trying to set up that he's doing fucking remodeling

2:45:16

inside his house. No, they compress the timeline, I

2:45:18

think, in the theatrical cut, so they don't need

2:45:21

to do as much covering. It's like they get

2:45:23

rid of the wife and then you don't feel

2:45:25

as much time passing. You don't feel like you

2:45:28

also don't even question that

2:45:30

Joel is controlled that much by

2:45:32

the church. Yeah.

2:45:36

This is a really extended scene in the movie. And

2:45:39

I don't know if it's in both, but I

2:45:41

was bored by how many times they went to

2:45:43

his progress before he had evil

2:45:46

superpowers. I think it

2:45:49

cruises at a pretty good clip. It does

2:45:51

get a little bit boring when he becomes

2:45:53

too smart and good. I

2:46:00

think my criticism of the story all

2:46:02

around is that he's too powerful to

2:46:04

write in general. Part

2:46:07

of the enjoyment of this in Flowers for

2:46:09

the Audre can is seeing the progression.

2:46:11

Oh, it's fun to see a dumb

2:46:14

person become smart and then all

2:46:16

the stuff that they would do. You

2:46:18

need to live in that and enjoy that for

2:46:20

a while before they completely break bad. I think

2:46:22

when he's just a dumb guy. This jumps to

2:46:24

him reading a physics book and he's like, well,

2:46:27

it's actually the hypothesis and then he shuts

2:46:29

it and the priest is like, what are you reading? That's

2:46:31

like in the. Oh, it's so much better in

2:46:33

this. Yeah, in the director's cut. Yeah. And

2:46:36

he's like already kind of reading like high

2:46:38

level math books, but not like having a

2:46:40

better under. Also, I like that smart means

2:46:42

like you start taking care of yourself more

2:46:44

and like becoming handsome and like wanting jeans

2:46:47

in this world. So Joe finally

2:46:49

beats Peter. And

2:46:52

that's a huge deal and is like, yeah, you

2:46:54

got it. And he's like, you just graduated the

2:46:56

next level, Joe. And

2:46:59

cut to Joe in his shack with his fucked

2:47:01

up mirror. He doesn't even have like a clean.

2:47:03

It's all like full of rivets and stuff. It's

2:47:05

like a bent piece of steel. And

2:47:08

he's doing, he's looking at a,

2:47:10

like a Marlboro ad and trying to

2:47:12

do the cowboy pose the guys are

2:47:14

doing. And he's got his shirt

2:47:17

off. That's like, where you like anything for the play

2:47:19

double like, oh, cowboys are cool. And

2:47:22

it's funny that the priest looks in and

2:47:24

it's like, it's such a funny thing to witness.

2:47:26

Like a weird, a weird simpleton

2:47:29

doing is like shirtless posing in the mirror.

2:47:31

Yeah. And he's like looking in

2:47:33

the mirror. He's like, you got a horse. He's like

2:47:35

talking to the cowboys and stuff like trying to imagine

2:47:37

cowboy life, which I think is such a great choice

2:47:39

of like, the first thing that happened when he got

2:47:41

smart is like, be pretty cool to look

2:47:43

like a cowboy. That's

2:47:45

like the first hit. His

2:47:47

synaptic activity went up 400%. He

2:47:51

was like, I gotta get cowboy. It's

2:47:53

like, if you go for being like six years old

2:47:55

to eight years old, you're like, yeah, I want to

2:47:57

walk around with like a gun holsters on and I've

2:47:59

shared. Spadge and stuff the

2:48:02

cowboy the the priest like

2:48:04

thinks he's like doing perverted shit And he's

2:48:06

like and this is fun. I think this is

2:48:08

good like you start to see him Make

2:48:11

sense of stuff and I like the speed

2:48:13

where he's just like you should really knock

2:48:15

before you come in I'm gonna go out

2:48:17

and I'm gonna buy some cowboy boots, and

2:48:20

I'm gonna make this place a ranch and

2:48:23

To the point where I'm even curious of like Jeff

2:48:25

Bay's like kind of having fun with it

2:48:27

a little bit. Yeah And

2:48:30

then the priest freaks out gets the belt to

2:48:32

beat him and then he grabs he's like you

2:48:35

shouldn't hit people Satisfied

2:48:37

yeah Later you can

2:48:39

have beat him up, but like I don't

2:48:41

know if we need the full I mean well

2:48:44

they make the priest worse later on but yeah

2:48:48

But the slow play is better just this

2:48:50

kind of getting some agency You know figuring

2:48:52

out like what his rights are

2:48:55

you know all that is this is this is nice

2:48:57

I like this scene with Tim's at back

2:49:00

at VSI where Tim's like I

2:49:02

can't believe you did all this shit on

2:49:04

your own without telling and Tim's like you're

2:49:06

a fucking scumbag Your

2:49:10

shop material Holy shit, no

2:49:12

wonder the shop likes this guy like you're

2:49:14

fucking crazy man. You just found some Local

2:49:18

guy yeah, no fucking papers

2:49:20

no consent. No nothing found

2:49:22

a mentally Handy-cap guy

2:49:25

and you basically kidnapped him and did

2:49:27

sick mind-bending Experiments on

2:49:29

him in your house no can get on I

2:49:31

need your and I need to start coming to

2:49:33

the office with them I did

2:49:35

all I could my own house.

2:49:37

I need the laboratory no control

2:49:40

group He's doing experiments that failed

2:49:42

on an animal model for safety, and he's

2:49:44

taking it right to a human So

2:49:50

Not even himself. He doesn't even experiment on himself.

2:49:52

He's like yeah, you think he would just do

2:49:54

it on him right yeah Cuz

2:49:57

like he has all later you learn all these

2:49:59

theories where it's like Like I did suspect

2:50:01

this would open up like fucking

2:50:04

super, brain

2:50:07

superpowers. He's not

2:50:09

trying to, you know, just fix, you

2:50:12

know, Alzheimer's or people with some kind

2:50:14

of developmental thing going on. It's like

2:50:16

there's, he knows that it can do

2:50:18

other stuff. It'll take you unlock superpowers.

2:50:20

We have only dreamed about. Up

2:50:23

to the gas station, the

2:50:26

lonely young

2:50:28

neighbor, I think they

2:50:30

call, they give her a name later.

2:50:32

It's Marnie. Marnie. Yeah.

2:50:35

Marnie. Quiet, Marnie. So

2:50:38

the neighbor pulls up at the gas station.

2:50:40

So this is Marnie and Jake

2:50:42

and she's like, can you check

2:50:44

my fluids, Jake? She's

2:50:47

being all fucking flirty. Doing her innuendo.

2:50:49

Yeah. And then

2:50:51

she sees this nice ass

2:50:53

in her rear view mirror and lo

2:50:55

and behold, it's Joe the Lawn

2:50:58

Mower Man. So this

2:51:00

is crazy because I saw this one time

2:51:02

in the movie theaters when it came out

2:51:04

at Arden Fair Mall with all my friends.

2:51:07

And like you, I was haunted by

2:51:10

this movie and I remember this, her

2:51:12

noticing his ass in the tight

2:51:15

jeans for some reason. I

2:51:17

remember that scene. I don't remember this,

2:51:19

but like it's because now he's like

2:51:21

handsome and stuff. Like he's cleaned himself

2:51:23

up. He's still not like fully smart,

2:51:25

but she's like, do I know? He's

2:51:27

like, I mow your lawn. Yeah.

2:51:30

And then Jake's like, hey, I filled

2:51:32

up your fluids. She's like,

2:51:34

well, I'm looking forward to having my lawn

2:51:36

mowed soon. Oh,

2:51:39

she's got the huts for you, Joe,

2:51:41

me boy. I like

2:51:43

how much Terry's in his corner all the time.

2:51:45

Yeah. Always wanting to get Joe belayed.

2:51:48

Yeah. He's not a cock blocker.

2:51:50

And Jake's like, he doesn't want this idiot.

2:51:52

What are you talking about old man? He's

2:51:54

like, well, she fucks everybody now and now

2:51:56

she wants to fuck Joe. Don't call her

2:51:58

a whore. Hores do it for. money.

2:52:00

She's doing it because she likes

2:52:02

it. Then he goes to attack

2:52:04

Terry and Job stops him. He

2:52:06

punches Job and then Job

2:52:09

kind of stares him down of like, Hey, I'm not going

2:52:11

to take that shit anymore. You

2:52:14

probably could have just given him the comeuppance right

2:52:16

now and be like, Job's fucking changing. Yeah. Just

2:52:18

beat him up now or give him a good

2:52:20

punch across the face or something. We don't need

2:52:22

to see the fucking snake.

2:52:25

Dr. Angelo, I think people can tell

2:52:27

I'm changing. So

2:52:32

poor, and then poor Job, I was like, he's like,

2:52:34

no, no, no, just keep mowing lawns and you know,

2:52:36

everybody's just like, then he

2:52:38

brings him to, I could probably get a good job

2:52:40

now or something. I don't have to fucking, he's like

2:52:42

normal. He's basically just like a dumb, normal guy. No.

2:52:45

Yeah. At this point, he's just like, I was concerned

2:52:47

with his appearance, which is like 75% of the city

2:52:49

we live in. He's

2:52:53

just your everyday dumb guy. He could probably

2:52:55

like start his own business now. Start

2:52:58

a piece master. He's

2:53:04

got the weird hair. He's got the, uh, Dr.

2:53:07

Angelo, I want to sign up for your

2:53:09

program. Now

2:53:14

I have my big red. Now

2:53:16

I have my street smarts. His

2:53:19

brain is like an empty sponge, but

2:53:23

it can talk to animals. So

2:53:29

now I can talk to people. Thank

2:53:31

you, Dr. Angelo. We,

2:53:34

we get the shop has to fire a

2:53:36

job. We get job. Yeah. Cyberman. It's like,

2:53:44

threat, threat, Uber driver. Hair

2:54:03

is wig. Are you

2:54:05

Cyberman? I'm

2:54:08

here for you. I've

2:54:10

got water bottles in the back. Do

2:54:16

you need to charge your phone, Cyberman? Or

2:54:18

does your suit do that? We

2:54:21

love to do Dar from Beastmaster, the

2:54:23

actor Mark Singer, who we say is

2:54:25

just essentially like a night, like a-

2:54:28

An actor sounds like a typical struggling actor in

2:54:30

Los Angeles. Working actor in Los Angeles that's just

2:54:32

trying, like got tons of, you know, sign hustles.

2:54:34

He's got to pay the bills. He's got to

2:54:36

pay the bills. Got to pay the bills. Yeah.

2:54:39

Always trying to fundraise for a project here or there.

2:54:42

Like when someone talks about a period piece and they're

2:54:44

like, that face has used a cell phone. They

2:54:46

don't stand, like him in Beastmaster stands out in

2:54:48

the way, like he looks like an 80s struggling

2:54:51

actor and he's supposed to be in the magical

2:54:53

world and shit like that. And

2:54:55

he's like, you know, we're going to get into what we're

2:54:57

dealing with now as actors struggling out here. And you know,

2:54:59

and so that's- They

2:55:02

start experimenting on him at the shop with

2:55:04

the better equipment. He like gets all excited

2:55:06

and runs into it and it's like scary,

2:55:08

but it's taking. Then we cut

2:55:10

to him mowing lawns. Now he can

2:55:12

read people's minds. He reads the neighbor's

2:55:14

minds and she's like, hmm, think he

2:55:16

likes lemonade? And

2:55:18

then she calls him up and even

2:55:20

fucking Terry's all over and he, oh

2:55:22

Jesus mother of God. What?

2:55:25

You're dorked? Go get her. Go

2:55:27

fuck her. This is what bothered me is that he jumped

2:55:29

to mind reading. Like he jumped to

2:55:32

handsome mind reading where it's like, it would be

2:55:34

funnier if he like we had, or

2:55:36

I think it would just be a little stronger to have some VO

2:55:38

of like, she seems interested in me

2:55:40

for no reason. You know, like, I think

2:55:42

we need to see him too dumb because

2:55:45

he's too dumb for mind reading. I think the

2:55:47

mind reading like should have been edited out. They

2:55:49

didn't need it in this part because like they

2:55:52

add this. I think he likes

2:55:54

lemonade, but I feel like they're fudging it

2:55:56

as though he can't read people's minds, but

2:55:58

that's definitely what's going. Cuz then she's

2:56:01

like have you ever kissed anyone before and he

2:56:03

like sticks his tongue out and then they're they're

2:56:05

fully fucking And it is like

2:56:07

kind of pretty hot like fucking Cinemax

2:56:10

Yeah, I'm so programmed from being horny for this

2:56:12

as a kid where I'm like damn that's sexy

2:56:15

You know it's property even though

2:56:17

it's like it's like rape. It's like a

2:56:19

developmentally disabled adult He's

2:56:21

not developing Developmentally disabled anymore.

2:56:23

I mean no not anymore. She doesn't know

2:56:25

that But also he

2:56:27

wants to have sex right right he's into

2:56:29

it, but I think we just needed more

2:56:32

of him Surprising

2:56:34

people with how smart he's become

2:56:36

and maybe like outsmarting some people like

2:56:39

that's more He's basically a

2:56:41

Superman now and somebody's been like hey. Let me

2:56:43

tell you how to French kiss Yeah,

2:56:46

and then we cut that just like Tim's

2:56:49

and Angelo being like he

2:56:51

absorbed Latin in two hours

2:56:54

Yeah, I want to see him like you know figuring

2:56:56

out like hey you owe me this and father

2:56:59

fucking funny, man Goddamn Larry,

2:57:02

I'm speechless pretty cool, dude

2:57:05

I like the moment when he's like you're not you're

2:57:07

supposed to knock before you come in someone's house I

2:57:10

wanted like that escalation of like he

2:57:12

learned that he had privacy and agency

2:57:14

yeah I like I like money has and

2:57:16

not let people rip them off and all

2:57:18

that like we need more of that kind

2:57:20

of shit You know or like helping somebody

2:57:22

out. You know with their finances or something

2:57:24

weird I? Don't know you're

2:57:26

gonna. Cut vs. I is gonna cut you off from both

2:57:29

tits if you don't tell him this stuff. I

2:57:31

do know like it like this Jim's

2:57:35

is like The manager

2:57:37

at a Best Buy who is somehow

2:57:39

a manager at this government right holy

2:57:41

shit, dude This is fucking crazy. You're

2:57:43

doing a great job man. It's like

2:57:46

his dad owns VSI and he yeah,

2:57:48

yeah I

2:57:50

was gonna say these the cyber suits or

2:57:52

whatever they wear it does it

2:57:55

is a cool way to show like how Enhance

2:57:58

the environment could be in the virtual

2:58:00

space because it's like you imagine these

2:58:02

suits are doing something with like temperature

2:58:04

and pressure and then the kind of

2:58:06

like gyro spears that they're in you're

2:58:08

like wow I guess that would feel

2:58:10

kind of cool like that

2:58:13

would trick you a little a true immersive

2:58:15

experience and it does like them out of

2:58:17

the look that way I think they

2:58:19

call it haptic when it gives you like

2:58:21

physical feedback like you know where it heats

2:58:23

up or you're talking about what they actually

2:58:26

call them yeah

2:58:28

I think I think that because like like they'll call

2:58:30

it like a haptic controller if it like vibrates in

2:58:32

your hand when like you get struck or fall or

2:58:35

something and I know I learned

2:58:37

the term from Anthony Atamitek of course who

2:58:39

is like we're not that far off from

2:58:41

like having haptic suck suits that you want

2:58:43

to wear while you watch the virtual porn

2:58:46

it's like oh good to know man well

2:58:49

do you remember when they put those because

2:58:51

we used to talk about it on workaholics

2:58:53

because they in an episode

2:58:56

Durs brings up like

2:59:00

I think his character like tapes like a

2:59:03

what like a fleshlight onto

2:59:05

an iPad yeah hard drives

2:59:07

you could fuck and then

2:59:09

fleshlight started doing that like

2:59:12

they just like had like like yeah like here's

2:59:14

a basically a computer you can fuck it

2:59:16

was right there I think

2:59:20

Fahey did an episode of workaholics that

2:59:24

totally makes sense yeah I mean

2:59:27

that Anders would app Anders is

2:59:29

absolutely seen fucking lawnmower man yeah

2:59:31

and he zeroed in on all

2:59:34

those actors of like which

2:59:36

rules it's like yes I

2:59:40

mean I remember well you know from you

2:59:42

because you have Cassie an experience so it's

2:59:44

like there's we have a fucking gold mine

2:59:46

of these people out there that we move

2:59:48
