Yeah, well you bet it's Florence Peugh there.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I am just like, I don't know. I don't even know.
I don't even who are these people? Man? Are they cool?
Are we fucking with them?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Julia Louis Dreyfus, Julie Louis Dreyfus isn't Thunderbolts this one?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Like, I've heard that's like the best thing.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
It's just like they they kind of did the thing
that's undeniable about the early Marvel movies where you're just like,
let's take this person who's always fun on camera, Robert
Downey Jr. And just like let them cook. I've heard
that's kind of what they did with Julie Louis Dreyfus,
and uh it works.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I've heard it works. Hell yeah bro oh and Jered
Zwanathan from my favorite movie Blockers, Oh really love to
see it. Directed by Jake Shryer. Huh who that to
shrier joint?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I don't know who's that even I'm a director, producer
of Beef, director of Dave. Okause they're all so, I mean,
pretty pretty healthy, run on TV. Not gonna lie you hope.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
That's the thing that doesn't like you know what happens.
They take like direct small like nice indie directors and
people who worked on smaller stuff, and they're like, yeah, man,
now you're gonna do this big tent pole movie. Now
you're gonna do everything we say. Yeah, And if you
fuck it up, you're gonna Oh my god, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I kind of hope you fuck it up, man, I
hope you fuck it up.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Just look. Yeah, yeah, I'm fun sick. I haven't talked
to my fucking twin brother in fourteen fucking years because
he made fun of me during a fantasy football draft.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
It's a cool town, Hollywood, Yeah, cool town, cool industry. Anyways,
maybe that's gonna be fun. Maybe that's gonna, you know,
be number one at the box office, although it is
facing some competition from the Alec Baldwin film Rust. You
may have heard of this movie that's dropping this weekend.
(02:28):
Oh fuck, yeah, dude, So this is the one where
Alec Baldwin accidentally killed a human being, cinematographer Helena Hutchinson.
And it's dropping in theaters and on video demand tomorrow,
and like, first of all, like, how the fuck you
(02:50):
even promote this movie? You can't really the rollout has been,
according to the New York Times, decidedly muted.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Decided ye. So the first.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Screening was at a little known Polish cinematography festival.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Oh no, cinematography, fucking fut you killed the fucking cinematographer? Yes,
what the okay? And what did they They loved They
were doing backflips because they loved it so much.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Well so, there was an audible gasp when they realized
that the central event in the movie that the movie
is about is an accidental shooting. It's about an accent,
It's about an accidental shooting. Its Rust takes place in
the eighteen eighties, uh, set in Kansas, and it's about
(03:39):
a thirteen year old boy who accidentally kills a rancher
and flees the law with his grandfather.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
The first time a trigger is pulled in Rust, it
clicks on an empty barrel. The second leads to a
character's accidental death, a spoiler, engendering a full boar gasp
from premiere attendees.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Wow, that that's in wild just you know, it's like
I get that. They're like, Okay, this like small Polish festival,
maybe we can sneak it in, but it's for cinematophy,
Like I can't get past that at all. That whoever
had decided that was the place are You're going to
(04:18):
be around people who have only thought about what happened
to this poor cinematographer and how things can be different
and then be like afterwards, Alk Baldwin comes out, so
what you guys think?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
So he hasn't done anything and he hasn't like spoken
in relation to it, and the filmmakers are saying that
they wanted it release to showcase her final work, and
there is a legal settlement with her family where some
of the film's earnings go to her husband and son
but some Yeah, and also it's only releasing on like
(04:54):
one hundred and fifteen screens, so like.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I mean, we're giving her two points on the back
end of this thing. It's like, and how close are
we to see two point two? I'm sorry point two? Sorry?
Point two sorry, I had that back.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Still, let's say two points point two, well two percent
of a percentage point two, it's.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Two point ones two point two point when there's a
point two. Yeah, that's sorry.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
You didn't let me finish.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Jesus christ Man. I'm just like it. I don't know
any fascination around this. It's gonna have to be like
a morbid curiosity.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah for real.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
But I totally get too that you're I mean, I
understand on paper the logic of like honoring the final
work of this cinematographer, but yeah, I don't know, Like
I just just gonna be one of those things, like, dude,
I'm not gonna watch the Alec Baldwin shot the Person movie.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah, it's like, I mean, I remember when the Crow
came out like that. A lot of people were like, well,
this is tight. And also but like there was like
a weird eeriness to that one. Also because he likes,
well Bruce Lee, Brandon Lee, and then Brandon Lee, like
the character in the movie gets gets shot to death
(06:13):
and then like comes back to life, like from the dead,
and so there's like, I don't know, a weird I
had no idea that that was the premise of this
movie though, that's fucking about spooky.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
It's about a little known photographer who the daghera type
camera and he gets accidentally shot by some doofist playing
with a pistol.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
The director of the director of the film has admitted
it's a tough one to market, which seems like an understatement,
and has not been doing the best job of hyping
the movie. The big takeaways from his promotional interviews have
been that he regrets ever writing the movie in the
first place.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Oh my God, and haunted.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
And that he didn't watch Alec Baldwin's reality show because
he said he was busy hitting myself in the face
with a frying pan.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Holy shit.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
So apparently Baldwin left a good impression on everybody.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah. The reviews have not been super enthusiastic.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
The cinematography has described as gorgeous, but the climax is
a big gun fight involving Baldwin that one critic called ghoulish.
I wonder if they had to like come back and
like shoot that like after yeah, yeah, god.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Oh man, that's so fucked up. The director too, that's
so wild that he is even like that quote about
what he's saying yeah. He said, uh, what is it?
Talk about the butterfly effect? I wish I never wrote
the damn movie. You think about the chain of events
that started that morning of the shooting. Bad decision after
(07:53):
bad decision was made.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Oh god, we're not friends, Susa says of Baldwin. We're
not enemies, there's no relationship. When asked if he watched
the actor's recent cringey, cheerful family reality show on Max
The Baldwins, he said, I think I was busy hitting
myself in the face with a frying pan that night.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
He's like, no, for real, it's kind of I'm kind
of like how I'm dealing with this. Yeah, men would
rather fight one hundred gorillas than go to therapy or
hit yourself in the frying pan. I mean, I think
this director, I have a pretty good gun free piece
of ip. I think you could maybe start writing on
It's called one Gorilla one Yeah, no, no weapons in that.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I mean the sequel might have to involve guns, because
I think.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
That's really good to go. I'm off that. I'm all in.
I'm all in for arming.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
The Primates, a documentary about the rust case made by
a filmmaker who's a friend of Hutchinson, came out in
March on Hulu and was a big hit, and it
kind of seems like anyone curious about the incident would
write I have just watched that and not actual movie
that's supposed to be mediocre and is like fucking haunting
and weird. But yeah, what wild story I did. I
(09:10):
did watch the trailer. Did you watch the trailer for
the Smashing Machine. It's about like an early UFC guy
starring the Rock under a bunch of prosthetics.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I think, oh, yeah, it's funny because I saw like
a frame of it. I'm like, that ain't the Rock
and I kept him movie. Yeah, yeah, this headline is
lying to me.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I know.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I'm like, nah, this ain't the Run and didn't even
look like him next But no, I've heard a lot
of I mean, I've heard a lot of people talk
about it. I'm still fucking shook from the weapons trailer.
Yeah I can't, but wait, so this everyone said, they're like, oh,
for everybody thought the Rock didn't have range, look at
this shit.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah, it feels it feels like it's going to be
I don't know, he's putting in a good performance in
the trailer, I'll say that, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Well hey, here's to him eventually running for president.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Looking completely unrecognizable.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
And also Emily Blunt is playing She's doing the like
Amy Adams and the Fighter thing where it's just like yeah,
town eat up.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, oh man, well oh yeah he does wow. And
he got hair. It's got hair.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Does he have hair?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Like, could he have hair? No?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
He be bald, bro, he's been balding. Yeah, Like I
remember when he had hair back in the day. It
was it was looking Michael Keaton in the eighties. Yeah,
exactly exactly when you got that he had like a
flip flop flip flop hairline at the top Nickelsonian exactly exactly.
Job Bluth pre arrested development back end money. That's right,
(10:39):
let's take a quick break and we'll be back. And
we're back.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
We're back, We're back.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Is Mark Kurk over the break you realize that he's
playing Mark Kerr?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, I mean I just know him from like very
early ye see shit, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, that's what we've talked before.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
About.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
How like UFC when I first like I used to
go to Blockbuster and rent UFC fights that were like
five years old. It was like hoist gracie versus like
this other guy. Yeah, and uh, the gracies were just
basically like bowl constrictors human bowel constrictors that would just
(11:25):
like wrap around your leg and the person would be
like what is this and then they'd be in a
choke hold.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah, owie owie owie owie. Like yeah, watching like because
you'd have those guys like tank Abbot in there that
were just like truck drivers who like, yeah, all the
kinds of guys like me and fifty My boys could
definitely beat up probably fifty gorillas one on one and
then they all get killed. But like, no skill, just
pure beef. And yeah, the the the BJJ, the Brazilian
(11:54):
jiu jitsu definitely changed shit pure beef, no skill at it.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Big news, Luigi Mangioni's case is being turned into a
stage musical. This is like a new trend that I've
been noticing that I don't wear like news stories that
we're really excited about and the Internet is really excited
about get announced as stage musicals, and then I don't
know if, like if anything ever happens, but we have
that with the Ai Willy Wonka musical. There's people announced
(12:23):
the ray Gun musical yep.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
But I feel like they'll it's always like we tell
the story or we hear it, and then so it
was like and then they said they were going to
get sued, so they didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
So they didn't do it. Yeah, this, I mean, this
is obviously a bigger story than Willy Wonka AI and
uh the I don't know man y Gun Musical, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I mean I guess it did. Did it when our?
Yeah it was our? Was it our? It was Luis
Manzoni snuck in it the Last sex snug in the
Last Stories of the Year, Story of the Year twenty
twenty four. I wonder if it's just a cheap way,
because obviously the process of writing a script and selling
it to like a for traditional media like film or
television is so such a long process that you can
(13:01):
be like, dude, I have a stage, I can write
some fuck, I can get chat gpt to do a
Rymey song about offing a CEO.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah, I mean they were going to do it in
San Francisco, so it's not like it was going straight
to Broadway or anything in the in this plan, But.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Dude, that was a fucking move like the Luigi Manngioni
musical on Broadway.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Man, Yeah, that would be like two blocks from where
the case is pretty dire. Prosecutors that have been pressured
by the White House to seek the death penalty and
formally filed notice with the court Thursday. They plan to
seek the death penalty.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Very normal, Very normal.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
He played not guilty on Friday. But you know, it
is the ultimate crime in the face of like our
current Yeah, you know, organizing principle of civilization, you know,
for do.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Not hold a CEO of a publicly traded company or
a CEO of a corporation into account for any of
the knock on effects of their greed in society? Does
you can't. They're just they're just doing their job. Yeah,
that really is like the new Nazi shit. I feel
like it's like we're giving the same excuses to like
CEOs and being like they're just I mean, they're just
doing their job. Yeah, Like that's just it is. I
(14:16):
Mean it's a tough to just doing their job of
basically not giving a fuck if people live or die
based on.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
The they have children, Okay they have you know, they're
just doing what they can. The I was just following
orders sent to me by the market. That's basically where
we're at.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yeah, hey, don't hate me, hate the market, baby.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
That's right, the disembodied borg market that tells us everything
that is true. And just uh, there's RFK Junior has
been on one. This guy, I mean, uh, he video
called into a town hall. Uh that was the saddest,
weirdest town hall. Did you see this video too?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
I saw a screen cap of that panel and I said,
I'm I have I got a lot of tables, man, Yeah,
essentially right now, the four person.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Panel, three of which were Chris Cuomo just looking like
staring off into the middle distance like he can't believe
what happened. Jane Carville, who was literally looked asleep like
was at one point had his head like off to
the side like he had just taken like three oxy
(15:28):
or something like, was just falling out on the stage,
it seemed like. But I think he was just tired. Uh.
And Stephen A. Smith for some reason.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah, sure.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And then RFK calling in and claiming that the reason
that the Mennonites have remained unvaccinated is because the vaccines
contain a lot of aborted fetus debris contain a lot
of aborted fetus debris is a direct quote God, they
(15:59):
do not.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
But absolute dip shitty nonsense. We actually have the most
mentally unwell people in the cabinet, like right now, like
you just think of everything that's coming, like you Marjorie
Taylor Green was like cardinals are being controlled by Satan
and like saying that with like like the emphasis, like
(16:22):
you really believe that shit. RFK is like, yeah, I
don't know if I'm really fucking with germ theory anymore.
Like he's like, what the fuck is going on? There's
fetal debris? Yeah, this is uh, I guess this is
everything we deserve on There were some like uh, yes,
I think there were fetal cells used in the early
(16:44):
development of the vaccine, just from a like purely scientific
and he made it sound like, yeah, so what they
do to get this vaccine is they go to a clinic,
take all the fetuses, and then get a vita mix
and just blend that shit up and it goes right
(17:05):
in your veins.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
But I mean, so I'm saying they have the religious
right to not do that.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I'm sure the.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Rest of you are cool with it, but yeah, you know,
I guess they're weird. It's just like so insidious, like
and the way that the mainstream media has like bought
into it, Like if he says anything remotely vaccine friendly,
they're like the guys come around and then he's just
able to say the wildest anti vax propaganda and just
(17:32):
like on this panel, nobody says shit as he says
that they're just like sitting there regretting their life choices.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah, just every god man, everything he says is like
so devoid of any kind of scientific backing. And now
fucking hair brain worms is over here just telling us, yeah,
man up, up is down fucking just just completely completely
abandoned science. Even like I don't even know what to
(18:01):
say anymore.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
He also gave that big speech last week where he
was like, you know, talking about how there's an epidemic,
a huge uptick in severe autism. Like people, these are
kids who will never be able to play baseball, who
can't go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
On assistant, and that's why we all need to put
them on.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
A list, that's right, so that I can kind of
so that I can keep track of them and the
like he said that as new research was about to
be shared. But I mean, I'm assuming he had access
to that found that only mild cases have risen from
two thousand to twenty sixteen. Only mild cases. So any
(18:46):
uptick is completely consistent with the theory that every doctor
seems to support that the reason that there has been
any increase in autism is that people are more aware
of it and it's being diagnosed more successfully. And that's
what's happening. It's not an epidemic caused by fucking too
(19:07):
much fluoride in the water. And it's not an epidemics
gay right, right, It's not an epidemic caused by abortion
smoothies that are getting injected into our arms via vaccine.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
That's not like what maybe RFK to tell himself to stop,
like shooting junk or something where he was just like,
it's the fetal debris, man, I gotta I gotta kick
this fetal debris. Yeah, this is this is all bad.
I mean, and you just think about everything that's going
to be happening, like with the FDA and our lack
of consistency over knowing what's even in food anymore. It's
(19:41):
like you didn't really have to fuck with that, you
know what I mean? Yeah, here we are.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
It's just a lot, a lot of the things that
were quietly helping keep things somewhat on the tracks are
being completely undermined by this administration. But they do have
a solution for that, which is going full Korea and
having a state sponsored media that replaced Did you see
that the White House now has like their own version
of the Drudge Report. Yeah, where it's like white House
(20:09):
Wire or something wh wyre and it's like all the
same nineteen ninety two web design. Is the Drudge Report.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
That there's also a courier font or yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
You can pay attention to this one, not that one.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Yeah, that's sure, I mean do it. Do whatever you can,
man like to try and tell people like when shit
really starts getting fucked up that yeah, maybe that website
will help explain away why.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, I don't think they're.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Gonna have access to the things that they need.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I think will be I think they might end up
being surprised by how few people just leave the Drudge
Report to go pay attention to that, right right.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Oh, just one thing I just wanted to point out
because I just love stories about backwards heterosexual man. There's
I think hetero Awesome festals trending because this fucking guy
who owns a bar in Idaho's holding a two day
hetero Awesome Fest at his bar outside the capitol to
coincide with Pride Month, and yeah, yeah, yeah, it's going
(21:10):
to be happening June twentieth and twenty first, you know,
feature live music speakers who quote are on the frontlines
defending traditional family values and local food and drink vendors
that don't want to have people patronize their businesses anymore
if they go there. Yeah, the festal is more than
an event. It's a declaration that faith, family, and freedom
(21:32):
are worth protecting. So this guy's done it, I think
last year too. But if you guys are in town,
hetero Awesome Fests sounds like it's so funny when this
shit is just an absolute parody of itself. Yeah, it's like, yeah,
what do you call it? Hetero awesome Fest?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Oh yeah, yeah, you know you hack my shit? Man?
Damn all right, y'all, this panel is about being straight,
is cool?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Right? Some might say awesome? What being a cis? Hit
White guys? Hetero Awesome Fest man.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Not enough people know about this thing that has been
the default for the past three hundred years in mainstream culture.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
This one trick society doesn't want.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
To learn, being a straight white guy. All right, Those
are some of the things that are trending on this
Thursday May. First, we are back tomorrow with the whole
last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to
each other, be kind to yourselves, get your vaccines while
you still can get your flu shots. Don't do nothing
(22:38):
about white supremacy, and we will talk to y'all tomorrow.
Bye bye bye,

Well so, there was an audible gasp when they realized
that the central event in the movie that the movie
is about is an accidental shooting. It's about an accent,
It's about an accidental shooting. Its Rust takes place in
the eighteen eighties, uh, set in Kansas, and it's about
(03:39):
a thirteen year old boy who accidentally kills a rancher
and flees the law with his grandfather.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
The first time a trigger is pulled in Rust, it
clicks on an empty barrel. The second leads to a
character's accidental death, a spoiler, engendering a full boar gasp
from premiere attendees.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Wow, that that's in wild just you know, it's like
I get that. They're like, Okay, this like small Polish festival,
maybe we can sneak it in, but it's for cinematophy,
Like I can't get past that at all. That whoever
had decided that was the place are You're going to
(04:18):
be around people who have only thought about what happened
to this poor cinematographer and how things can be different
and then be like afterwards, Alk Baldwin comes out, so
what you guys think?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
So he hasn't done anything and he hasn't like spoken
in relation to it, and the filmmakers are saying that
they wanted it release to showcase her final work, and
there is a legal settlement with her family where some
of the film's earnings go to her husband and son
but some Yeah, and also it's only releasing on like
(04:54):
one hundred and fifteen screens, so like.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I mean, we're giving her two points on the back
end of this thing. It's like, and how close are
we to see two point two? I'm sorry point two? Sorry?
Point two sorry, I had that back.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Still, let's say two points point two, well two percent
of a percentage point two, it's.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Two point ones two point two point when there's a
point two. Yeah, that's sorry.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
You didn't let me finish.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Jesus christ Man. I'm just like it. I don't know
any fascination around this. It's gonna have to be like
a morbid curiosity.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah for real.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
But I totally get too that you're I mean, I
understand on paper the logic of like honoring the final
work of this cinematographer, but yeah, I don't know, Like
I just just gonna be one of those things, like, dude,
I'm not gonna watch the Alec Baldwin shot the Person movie.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah, it's like, I mean, I remember when the Crow
came out like that. A lot of people were like, well,
this is tight. And also but like there was like
a weird eeriness to that one. Also because he likes,
well Bruce Lee, Brandon Lee, and then Brandon Lee, like
the character in the movie gets gets shot to death
(06:13):
and then like comes back to life, like from the dead,
and so there's like, I don't know, a weird I
had no idea that that was the premise of this
movie though, that's fucking about spooky.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
It's about a little known photographer who the daghera type
camera and he gets accidentally shot by some doofist playing
with a pistol.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
The director of the director of the film has admitted
it's a tough one to market, which seems like an understatement,
and has not been doing the best job of hyping
the movie. The big takeaways from his promotional interviews have
been that he regrets ever writing the movie in the
first place.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Oh my God, and haunted.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
And that he didn't watch Alec Baldwin's reality show because
he said he was busy hitting myself in the face
with a frying pan.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Holy shit.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
So apparently Baldwin left a good impression on everybody.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah. The reviews have not been super enthusiastic.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
The cinematography has described as gorgeous, but the climax is
a big gun fight involving Baldwin that one critic called ghoulish.
I wonder if they had to like come back and
like shoot that like after yeah, yeah, god.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Oh man, that's so fucked up. The director too, that's
so wild that he is even like that quote about
what he's saying yeah. He said, uh, what is it?
Talk about the butterfly effect? I wish I never wrote
the damn movie. You think about the chain of events
that started that morning of the shooting. Bad decision after
(07:53):
bad decision was made.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Oh god, we're not friends, Susa says of Baldwin. We're
not enemies, there's no relationship. When asked if he watched
the actor's recent cringey, cheerful family reality show on Max
The Baldwins, he said, I think I was busy hitting
myself in the face with a frying pan that night.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
He's like, no, for real, it's kind of I'm kind
of like how I'm dealing with this. Yeah, men would
rather fight one hundred gorillas than go to therapy or
hit yourself in the frying pan. I mean, I think
this director, I have a pretty good gun free piece
of ip. I think you could maybe start writing on
It's called one Gorilla one Yeah, no, no weapons in that.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I mean the sequel might have to involve guns, because
I think.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
That's really good to go. I'm off that. I'm all in.
I'm all in for arming.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
The Primates, a documentary about the rust case made by
a filmmaker who's a friend of Hutchinson, came out in
March on Hulu and was a big hit, and it
kind of seems like anyone curious about the incident would
write I have just watched that and not actual movie
that's supposed to be mediocre and is like fucking haunting
and weird. But yeah, what wild story I did. I
(09:10):
did watch the trailer. Did you watch the trailer for
the Smashing Machine. It's about like an early UFC guy
starring the Rock under a bunch of prosthetics.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I think, oh, yeah, it's funny because I saw like
a frame of it. I'm like, that ain't the Rock
and I kept him movie. Yeah, yeah, this headline is
lying to me.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I know.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I'm like, nah, this ain't the Run and didn't even
look like him next But no, I've heard a lot
of I mean, I've heard a lot of people talk
about it. I'm still fucking shook from the weapons trailer.
Yeah I can't, but wait, so this everyone said, they're like, oh,
for everybody thought the Rock didn't have range, look at
this shit.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yeah, it feels it feels like it's going to be
I don't know, he's putting in a good performance in
the trailer, I'll say that, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Well hey, here's to him eventually running for president.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Looking completely unrecognizable.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
And also Emily Blunt is playing She's doing the like
Amy Adams and the Fighter thing where it's just like yeah,
town eat up.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, oh man, well oh yeah he does wow. And
he got hair. It's got hair.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Does he have hair?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Like, could he have hair? No?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
He be bald, bro, he's been balding. Yeah, Like I
remember when he had hair back in the day. It
was it was looking Michael Keaton in the eighties. Yeah,
exactly exactly when you got that he had like a
flip flop flip flop hairline at the top Nickelsonian exactly exactly.
Job Bluth pre arrested development back end money. That's right,
(10:39):
let's take a quick break and we'll be back. And
we're back.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
We're back, We're back.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Is Mark Kurk over the break you realize that he's
playing Mark Kerr?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, I mean I just know him from like very
early ye see shit, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, that's what we've talked before.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
About.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
How like UFC when I first like I used to
go to Blockbuster and rent UFC fights that were like
five years old. It was like hoist gracie versus like
this other guy. Yeah, and uh, the gracies were just
basically like bowl constrictors human bowel constrictors that would just
(11:25):
like wrap around your leg and the person would be
like what is this and then they'd be in a
choke hold.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah, owie owie owie owie. Like yeah, watching like because
you'd have those guys like tank Abbot in there that
were just like truck drivers who like, yeah, all the
kinds of guys like me and fifty My boys could
definitely beat up probably fifty gorillas one on one and
then they all get killed. But like, no skill, just
pure beef. And yeah, the the the BJJ, the Brazilian
(11:54):
jiu jitsu definitely changed shit pure beef, no skill at it.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Big news, Luigi Mangioni's case is being turned into a
stage musical. This is like a new trend that I've
been noticing that I don't wear like news stories that
we're really excited about and the Internet is really excited
about get announced as stage musicals, and then I don't
know if, like if anything ever happens, but we have
that with the Ai Willy Wonka musical. There's people announced
(12:23):
the ray Gun musical yep.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
But I feel like they'll it's always like we tell
the story or we hear it, and then so it
was like and then they said they were going to
get sued, so they didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
So they didn't do it. Yeah, this, I mean, this
is obviously a bigger story than Willy Wonka AI and
uh the I don't know man y Gun Musical, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I mean I guess it did. Did it when our?
Yeah it was our? Was it our? It was Luis
Manzoni snuck in it the Last sex snug in the
Last Stories of the Year, Story of the Year twenty
twenty four. I wonder if it's just a cheap way,
because obviously the process of writing a script and selling
it to like a for traditional media like film or
television is so such a long process that you can
(13:01):
be like, dude, I have a stage, I can write
some fuck, I can get chat gpt to do a
Rymey song about offing a CEO.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah, I mean they were going to do it in
San Francisco, so it's not like it was going straight
to Broadway or anything in the in this plan, But.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Dude, that was a fucking move like the Luigi Manngioni
musical on Broadway.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Man, Yeah, that would be like two blocks from where
the case is pretty dire. Prosecutors that have been pressured
by the White House to seek the death penalty and
formally filed notice with the court Thursday. They plan to
seek the death penalty.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Very normal, Very normal.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
He played not guilty on Friday. But you know, it
is the ultimate crime in the face of like our
current Yeah, you know, organizing principle of civilization, you know,
for do.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Not hold a CEO of a publicly traded company or
a CEO of a corporation into account for any of
the knock on effects of their greed in society? Does
you can't. They're just they're just doing their job. Yeah,
that really is like the new Nazi shit. I feel
like it's like we're giving the same excuses to like
CEOs and being like they're just I mean, they're just
doing their job. Yeah, Like that's just it is. I
(14:16):
Mean it's a tough to just doing their job of
basically not giving a fuck if people live or die
based on.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
The they have children, Okay they have you know, they're
just doing what they can. The I was just following
orders sent to me by the market. That's basically where
we're at.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yeah, hey, don't hate me, hate the market, baby.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
That's right, the disembodied borg market that tells us everything
that is true. And just uh, there's RFK Junior has
been on one. This guy, I mean, uh, he video
called into a town hall. Uh that was the saddest,
weirdest town hall. Did you see this video too?
Speaker 2 (14:57):
I saw a screen cap of that panel and I said,
I'm I have I got a lot of tables, man, Yeah,
essentially right now, the four person.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Panel, three of which were Chris Cuomo just looking like
staring off into the middle distance like he can't believe
what happened. Jane Carville, who was literally looked asleep like
was at one point had his head like off to
the side like he had just taken like three oxy
(15:28):
or something like, was just falling out on the stage,
it seemed like. But I think he was just tired. Uh.
And Stephen A. Smith for some reason.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah, sure.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And then RFK calling in and claiming that the reason
that the Mennonites have remained unvaccinated is because the vaccines
contain a lot of aborted fetus debris contain a lot
of aborted fetus debris is a direct quote God, they
(15:59):
do not.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
But absolute dip shitty nonsense. We actually have the most
mentally unwell people in the cabinet, like right now, like
you just think of everything that's coming, like you Marjorie
Taylor Green was like cardinals are being controlled by Satan
and like saying that with like like the emphasis, like
(16:22):
you really believe that shit. RFK is like, yeah, I
don't know if I'm really fucking with germ theory anymore.
Like he's like, what the fuck is going on? There's
fetal debris? Yeah, this is uh, I guess this is
everything we deserve on There were some like uh, yes,
I think there were fetal cells used in the early
(16:44):
development of the vaccine, just from a like purely scientific
and he made it sound like, yeah, so what they
do to get this vaccine is they go to a clinic,
take all the fetuses, and then get a vita mix
and just blend that shit up and it goes right
(17:05):
in your veins.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
But I mean, so I'm saying they have the religious
right to not do that.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I'm sure the.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Rest of you are cool with it, but yeah, you know,
I guess they're weird. It's just like so insidious, like
and the way that the mainstream media has like bought
into it, Like if he says anything remotely vaccine friendly,
they're like the guys come around and then he's just
able to say the wildest anti vax propaganda and just
(17:32):
like on this panel, nobody says shit as he says
that they're just like sitting there regretting their life choices.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah, just every god man, everything he says is like
so devoid of any kind of scientific backing. And now
fucking hair brain worms is over here just telling us, yeah,
man up, up is down fucking just just completely completely
abandoned science. Even like I don't even know what to
(18:01):
say anymore.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
He also gave that big speech last week where he
was like, you know, talking about how there's an epidemic,
a huge uptick in severe autism. Like people, these are
kids who will never be able to play baseball, who
can't go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
On assistant, and that's why we all need to put
them on.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
A list, that's right, so that I can kind of
so that I can keep track of them and the
like he said that as new research was about to
be shared. But I mean, I'm assuming he had access
to that found that only mild cases have risen from
two thousand to twenty sixteen. Only mild cases. So any
(18:46):
uptick is completely consistent with the theory that every doctor
seems to support that the reason that there has been
any increase in autism is that people are more aware
of it and it's being diagnosed more successfully. And that's
what's happening. It's not an epidemic caused by fucking too
(19:07):
much fluoride in the water. And it's not an epidemics
gay right, right, It's not an epidemic caused by abortion
smoothies that are getting injected into our arms via vaccine.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
That's not like what maybe RFK to tell himself to stop,
like shooting junk or something where he was just like,
it's the fetal debris, man, I gotta I gotta kick
this fetal debris. Yeah, this is this is all bad.
I mean, and you just think about everything that's going
to be happening, like with the FDA and our lack
of consistency over knowing what's even in food anymore. It's
(19:41):
like you didn't really have to fuck with that, you
know what I mean? Yeah, here we are.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
It's just a lot, a lot of the things that
were quietly helping keep things somewhat on the tracks are
being completely undermined by this administration. But they do have
a solution for that, which is going full Korea and
having a state sponsored media that replaced Did you see
that the White House now has like their own version
of the Drudge Report. Yeah, where it's like white House
(20:09):
Wire or something wh wyre and it's like all the
same nineteen ninety two web design. Is the Drudge Report.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
That there's also a courier font or yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
You can pay attention to this one, not that one.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Yeah, that's sure, I mean do it. Do whatever you can,
man like to try and tell people like when shit
really starts getting fucked up that yeah, maybe that website
will help explain away why.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, I don't think they're.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Gonna have access to the things that they need.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I think will be I think they might end up
being surprised by how few people just leave the Drudge
Report to go pay attention to that, right right.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Oh, just one thing I just wanted to point out
because I just love stories about backwards heterosexual man. There's
I think hetero Awesome festals trending because this fucking guy
who owns a bar in Idaho's holding a two day
hetero Awesome Fest at his bar outside the capitol to
coincide with Pride Month, and yeah, yeah, yeah, it's going
(21:10):
to be happening June twentieth and twenty first, you know,
feature live music speakers who quote are on the frontlines
defending traditional family values and local food and drink vendors
that don't want to have people patronize their businesses anymore
if they go there. Yeah, the festal is more than
an event. It's a declaration that faith, family, and freedom
(21:32):
are worth protecting. So this guy's done it, I think
last year too. But if you guys are in town,
hetero Awesome Fests sounds like it's so funny when this
shit is just an absolute parody of itself. Yeah, it's like, yeah,
what do you call it? Hetero awesome Fest?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Oh yeah, yeah, you know you hack my shit? Man?
Damn all right, y'all, this panel is about being straight,
is cool?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Right? Some might say awesome? What being a cis? Hit
White guys? Hetero Awesome Fest man.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Not enough people know about this thing that has been
the default for the past three hundred years in mainstream culture.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
This one trick society doesn't want.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
To learn, being a straight white guy. All right, Those
are some of the things that are trending on this
Thursday May. First, we are back tomorrow with the whole
last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to
each other, be kind to yourselves, get your vaccines while
you still can get your flu shots. Don't do nothing
(22:38):
about white supremacy, and we will talk to y'all tomorrow.
Bye bye bye,
