Cade Smith, who wrote, one time I was a witness
to a car accident which I had to write a
witness report for these small town cop who was on
his first week on the job. There was a woman
on the ground and her husband drove away, yelling I
don't have insurance. Meanwhile, meth lab exploded nearby and the

(02:44):
cop had to go see about that. He left me
in charge of the accident scene. I collected reports and
also helped the u D. Also, while waiting, a man
who had his head wrapped up in gauze approached me
and asked if I needed a witness uh to do
what happened because he saw the whole thing, apparently through gause.

(03:10):
So I finished up reports, slapped the back of the ambulance,
convinced the cop that the other person was the car
was totaled, and then went back to college. Oh we

I want to extend, you want to extend. I want
to be seven teen days lieutenant. Oh alright, everybody calmed down.

(16:07):
I just got you, I just got you. Holy just

uh matter of business should be to figure out what
happened over at Sam's. Sure alright? And also on the case,
where am I still in the bankais or the tagging guy?
What do you guys want me on? I've been finding
cases everywhere, the tagging suge but around the thing. This

(16:30):
is what's gonna go down, all right, this is what's
gonna happen. Stephanetti, I want both of you to go
deal with that temple case way, don't fall in love? Yeah, anyway,
some occult ship going down there, apparently trying to raise
the dead. Random gentleman and lieutenant. I want you too
to go down and check out the Sam issue. Okay, captain,
Captain please in the other room drinking right, Captain, just

(16:53):
stay in there, all right, the gap Captain. Let's go
to scene too, shall we. This one, weirdly also requested
by Kate Smith. He had a couple of good ones. Yeah,

(17:15):
maybe not assumed that he could be today. I was
thinking today Smith, Uh, far less details than his first one.
He simply suggests the writer's room at the w w
E headquarters where they can come up with wrestler names

(17:36):
and backstories for the wrestlers. And then I would add,
maybe add to this that perhaps once the names and
backstories have been created in the writer's room, that they
interview a couple of potential people to portrays said created
WWE wrestlers. We take you there. Now, I'm just spitballing.

(17:58):
I think everything needs a hot flat How about this
flat feet flat feet story? Well, let's let's let's toss
it around. Is a military dodger? Oh no, that's interesting drama.
He got dodge based on his flat feet. He had
flat feet and couldn't serve. But is that a hero

(18:20):
that the kids are going to really? Yeah, the villains
gotta have the villains flat feet and it comes out
and he has trouble walking. I think we should probably
get it to get the heart of his motivation. Though,
what are you thinking? Is the flat feet leading him
to villainy or is it merely a fatal flaw? I mean, Randolph, basically,
that's what I was saying. But now with your accident,

(18:41):
everyone's going to give you credit saying, yeah, Bill Shakespeare,
why don't you take it from here? Okay? So flat
Feet has a tragic backstory starting with starting with the
death of his parents at an early age that he witnessed,
that he witnessed. Did he do it? Perhaps we can
leave that ambiguity, but we will have to make that

(19:01):
decision down the line. Right, Maybe the hero of the
wrestler finds out and brings it into the ring and
absolutely killed your parents. So it grows up with a
lot of pain, Yes, yes, a lot of pain, a
lot of pain. Never went to school, but big inheritance?
Did he get a big inheritance? Yes? It feels like Batman.
I'm gonna be honest with you. It's starting to feel

(19:22):
a little Bruce Wayne, Yes, did Batman draft touch? I
don't know for paid himself out of that? I'm sure
he was very wealthy. You can't pay yourself out of
the draft. Men, do you want to look that up
for us? Place on it? Thank you many. Wait a second,
so I'll take a second. Did Batman was Bruce Wayne
to draft? Draft that? He was? Well? Look at that,

(19:46):
look at that. It's been done. Well, I'm just not
sure that they have Batman. And where are you from? Well,
just London? Yeah, do they have Batman in London? Yes?
They do. Okay, well they didn't have no excuse? Okay,
was platiarism. We've got to watch. Look, I apologize every
time I propose a new character. It's the Batman backstory.

(20:07):
And listen, this is a safe room, all right, So
there's no bad ideas. Let's get off flatfoot. Let's go
on to another one. Jim, Jim, you had an idea.
I got an idea. All right. This guy is called
the snake King, good name name, Snake King. Alright, what's
gonna happen is we're gonna take this guy. We're gonna
a woman where we don't know. Yeah, right, but King

(20:28):
could be what and we're gonna, you know, sow live
snakes into their skin, right, so they're gonna be part
of their finishing move. You want the snakes under the skin? No, no, no,
on top outside, kind of like medusable hanging offto snakes.
Snakes hanging off the skin, live snakes, Mandy, can you please?
You can't do it? Of course you can't know, you can't,
so snakes on someone? Stop? Have you ever talked to Peter?

(20:51):
Have you ever been on a call with They're going
to eat you a lot? I'm sure that they're not,
because I'm they're not gonna eat me, Mandy. Anybody got
snakes hanging off him? No? If he could have some
sort of utility belt that would like that. We just
want to recap a quick recap here. So we have

(21:12):
a flat foot snake king. Prior to that we had
Meterman and uh say what you say it's embarrassing. No,
it's not embarrassing. There's nothing embarrassing about the human body. Okay,
and the big butt boy, I think we should go
back there big butt boy just for a second, because Bill,

(21:35):
you said he was going to knock people down with
his big butt and he had that old man is
the Yes, yes, he has a butler who works with him.
I see like that and uh, and then he'll go
into the butt cave and then the old man goes
into the bat But that's what I'm asking big, big,

(21:57):
big butt boy can drive the buttmobile directly. Like I've
seen a pornography film that was a parody of Batman. Title. Well,
I'm in the top on the latest pornography. What's the
name of the film. What's the title, big but bad boy.
He does he can't talk about I don't feel safe.

(22:18):
You can't talk about porn in here? Can we stop
with the porn talk? I think it's a big inspiration.
And you bring me in the writing room, I bring
my experience. I know I'm just taking notes here, but
we have a big pay per view subscription base that
we need to satisfy. You need to come up with
two or three strong characters right now because we have

(22:39):
two men outside. I'm sorry, we have two men outside
who are waiting to to to take on their new
PERSONA got into Mendy familiar with take control, Mendy. I
just had secretary something about, yeah, take control to take
control six like hungry, psychotic no no offense and crazy cycles.

(23:08):
Psychle takes control of every situation. Oh, her glasses have
like a dagger glasses and she shows up with two
guys waiting outside. That's happening right now. She's got a
grinding at the moment, like she uses the laptop to
knock people down. And just a keyboard some kind of
clear your schedule, go ahead, some kind of signal in

(23:30):
the sky. Yes, yes, like that. Okay, so we like you, secretary,
read back what we got for Secretary, got it. So
she's she wears glasses, she wants to take control of everything.
She's got a grinding voice. She knocks people down with
her laptop, just the just the keyboard. Yeah, people schedule,

(23:52):
that's one of the cats. I'm gonna clear. I'm going
to clear your schedule, you know, like leaps of building
in a single bound clears your schedule. A couple of
single building in a signal, you know what, maybe leases
the building. Many Yeah, that was that Jewish superhero. I

and you were Chip will reflect that. I am a server,

(38:03):
so I get it. It's such a grind. Keep it open. Yes, sir,
that's a very nice macaroni necklace. Oh my god, thank you.
Where did it come from? Child labor a funny story,
but yes, a little bit of fast fashion. Do you
not want to eat the macarona? You can chew on
it an it's covered in glue though. So yeah, you

(38:31):
feel like I'm supposed to be somewhere. What do you?
I think you're living in the moment to unexpected events?
Excuse me? Table for one? Please? Okay? Would see at
the bar? That'll do. Here's our drink menu. Were in
happy hours and needed fifteen Manhattan please? Yes, sir? Would
you like that on the rocks? Are up? On the

(38:53):
rocks are up, sir, that'll do? Macy already? Okay, uh,
this is this is construction papers. Is there a problem?
Not at all? Manhattan coming right away? Does that kid
look familiar to you? I he looks like a child
to me. They all look the same. No pores, no pores.

(39:20):
I'm so jealous. I want to kill him and steal
his skins. Oh shut up, Oh my god, you have pecks.
Justout them. Pardon my reach and pardon it again. You
are Manhattan on the rocks in the Manhattan up? Is
Does this bar sturdy enough to stand on, like to
do a jump off of? Without a doubt? Yes, sir?

(39:42):
Whoa Listen up, everybody. I'm I'm the Snake King and
I'm here to fight the bad big brother. He led me,
he was my he was supposed to be my guardian,
and he left me. I know that you didn't have
a thing to eat. You're going to get it the

(40:06):
ki ki ald my Gaberdine jacket like that. You are
so strong. Let me let me take a look at

(40:30):
this pearol sheet. It seems like you don't have very
good consistency with the little brothers we've been assigning. You know,
I guess not what's happening, what's wrong? I hit the
last one in the face. I wasn't going to bring
it up, but he did challenge me first, Well, you're
supposed to be a role model. Don't you think maybe
he's mirroring what he's seeing from you. I don't know.

(40:52):
People at the bar were chanting fight and you had
him at a barn. Yeah. I just don't think that
you understand the responsibility of being a big brother. Okay,
I'm going to assign you one more child, but this
one it's gonna be a baby. Baby's rely completely on
an adult. Baby's like wrestling. I don't because that's my

(41:16):
wrestling wrestling match. I'd be cautious bringing a baby to
a wrestling match. It doesn't seem it seems almost as
inappropriate as bringing a child to a bar. I mean,
have you seen these new w W characters they've come
up with. They're incredible. I'm sorry, I don't want Superman. Superman,
the baby is gonna love that. Alright, well, I'm gonna
give you this baby, and I need you to take
otherwise you're going to be back in jail before you

(41:37):
know it. You don't, you're not taking this seriously. Okay,
all right, okay, here you go take this this baby
that you had next to you. What did you think
I had this? Don't for a paperweight? No, no, no,
it's not my baby. I'm a parole officer, a kid.

(41:59):
We go some singing, we'll go see some wrestling. Yeah, alright,
here I think we're bonding. Oh my god, is that
your son? Oh my god? Is that your son? Can
we get around for these ladies? I would love to

We'll bring you in to see the gap. Father. If
you read you mind when you go in, don't look
them directly in the eye. First of all, if you

(51:40):
have shoes, look down at dose. And then what do
you do if you don't didn't look down where your
shoes would be on the rope. And then if you
wouldn't mind, one last request, please don't talk at the
same time because you got the same name. It's going
to get confused, and so one of your talks and
the other to listen. Okay, take it. So let's let's taken.
I'm that's pretty straightforward. Because I'll be honest with you.

(52:05):
If you don't do that, two of the three of

(52:48):
Sorry guy, let me just take this three off for hey,
oh oh oh, I felt it when he slept you
like like a symbio. The three of you never seen
a movie or a television show where you go in
and see the Godfather. You don't act like three students.
You gotta pay respect. I've seen the three students I

(53:13):
don't want to see right, So this is a man
of business. He's not he's not messing. I'm here for
business too. I just wanted to ask for a f
I've got a favorite. Were just because you're making me
think twice about sending all three of you at the
same time, I'm still going to do it, but you're
going to let me go first. Okay, Look, maybe we
could uh talk amongst ourselves for a second. Figure out.
Let's talk about ourselves. Who who has seen the most different? Okay,

(53:41):
well I think that's what we tell Okay, Okay, sounds
that's settled. Yeah, we are ready to go first. It's
a little bit more ready to respect. Respect father, I'd
like you to do shoot, oh, lindsay, Hell, we are

(54:03):
here to ask for a favor. What is the favorite
that you want to asking me? Hamilton? Really really you like?
It doesn't have to be right up front, like it
could be astructed you or anything anywhere. Care if it's understudies.

(54:26):
I just want to be the next month you'll see
a mattenee. I don't happily because they could go out
to the lunch after before fun lunch drinks. So you're
telling me all of you want Hambleton tickets. It turns out, yes, Hamilton, Hamilton,

(54:48):
not Hambleton's, didn't get good with you. I only heard Hambleton's.
And as someone who is a man of his word
in his ear, I can only give Hambleton's tickets. To refuse,
to refuse a justice, And maybe we could add to

(55:08):
an addendum that one of us, because so, just one
of us wanted to Hambleton's, and I wanted three tickets
for Hamilton's. Oh yes, so my favorite, I'll take the Hambleton's,
and I'll take three for my own personal wish. I
would never share him with these and those for Hambleton's.
Here's what I can do, okay, I can guarantee each

(55:32):
of you as a cast member on the touring production
of Hambleton's. I'm not an actor to refuse. Are we
allowed to look up you? To refuse? This gesture would
be the utmost disrespect On the day my daughter gets married,
on the day that she gave their daughters getting married,
and oh wait, on this day our anniversaries, on this

(55:59):
day that they're on the day this, it would be
disrespect of um your godfather, and what roles what do
we have in the production sho of you would be
competing leads, all with different storylines and different dialogue, but
it would touring company. It would be a touring Can

(56:20):
I look up? No to see my eyes while I
give this gift would be the greatest disrespect understood. And
there I was sailing far and hard, and I also
sailed far. I guess I sailed the farthest. The top
of the called me Hambleton, Hambleton, I'm the best Hamiltons ever.
