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.

5:29
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

1:30:36

1:30:44

1:31:06
able to make friends with these
1:31:08

1:31:13

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
in charge sure okay
1:39:05
he gives 110 you got to appreciate
1:39:08

1:39:17
game no hey round
1:39:19
affair yeah I like that's a good that's he's
1:39:21
good in that too and that makes sense for
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

1:39:33

1:40:47
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

1:45:55
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
try, you know, project five and
2:01:18
see how it responded. Yeah. Does
2:01:23
early Job remind you guys of me? You
2:01:27
are, you're not really good with
2:01:29
machines or anything. Yeah. Your job- Mine is
2:01:32
the one. Mine is the fucking job can
2:01:34
do. You
2:01:43
also don't really read comics as
2:01:45
much. You don't really read- Cyberman.
2:01:49
You don't really like Cyberman. You're not
2:01:51
good at video games. I
2:01:53
guess he isn't either, but you don't even play on-
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
or Larry Leaving
2:25:46
these personal journal entries like
2:25:49
like voice memos. Yeah. Yeah
2:25:52
Journal entry fucking later on he's like
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
2:26:04
like drinking all that whiskey is in help.
2:26:06
I'm leaving Going
2:26:09
out with the girls. You're just gonna make it.
2:26:11
No, she's got her badge. She's like leave leaving
2:26:13
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
2:26:41
can't even put up with him just smoking in
2:26:43
the basement How
2:26:45

2:26:48
with him hanging out with the teen the
2:26:50

2:26:52
and the the manly
2:26:54
a challenge Landscaping
2:26:57

2:26:59
I can't wait till we get to the third act of the
2:27:01
movie and I tell you what how her
2:27:04
movie ends fucking insane
2:27:08
We get a quick update of job doing
2:27:10
like concept of a
2:27:13
cycle of prayers to his gear
2:27:15
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
2:27:42
shows what a mess this movie must have
2:27:44
been they go from him Journaling like journal
2:27:47
entry mate may first then to this see
2:27:50
for no reason of Joe preint then journal
2:27:52
May 10th It's
2:27:55

2:27:57
journal entries in the intro to
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
insane yeah it does have some jump cut
2:28:06
but that was the original cut it
2:28:09
has some jump cuts that change in a in
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
what I could have accomplished with a human subs
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
oh yeah and
2:28:49
then he's like job you like playing games right he's
2:28:51
like yeah he's like would you like to say play
2:28:53

2:28:55
even the doctors like take it
2:28:58
back like oh you're just into it you're
2:29:00
just saying yes right away no follow-up questions
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
