That's is my knock on it. Yep.
His, it looks like he's boxers are shown a lit, a little bit,

He's like kickflipping over a dog, a buddy, who's sleeping on
a newspaper that has, says, Wikipedia and has our logo on
(02:54):
it. And then, what is the shirts?
I don't know what the bottom says.
I'm gonna I can make a guess, but the top part says Halloween,
I assume a tape. It's yeah, it probably says
howling. So in Japanese, it's written

Paper bag and my controls. Got all fucked up.
At one point, like a little likea harness got put on me and I
(04:20):

I got used to it. It's really, really, really
good. It's very, very good that's
clearly made by by everyone on the team has a cat for sure.
Like they made them get cats. Yeah, yeah.
Just to do the study on it. Yeah.
So you got to come over and check this game out, dude.
Pretty slick with. So so because I It's like I got
(04:43):
this Xbox. What the fuck am I going to do
with it? Because I can't play that game
sucks. I'm just going to keep playing
Halo, I guess so. It's not on Xbox game pass or
whatever, and which is, that's like the perfect game pass game.
Yeah. There's literally, there's an
achievement. When achievements is take a nap
for an hour, like, got sleep foran hour, like a real owl and
(05:08):
actual our yeah, it's not like it's part of a, like a, it
doesn't do anything. You would just curl up on a
pillow and just go to sleep. It's like, you know, how on Like
old like on Sonic like the original Genesis version.
If you stand too long he'll liketap his foot and kind of like
look at it. Yeah for sure you like idle
animation. It's like that.
Yeah. For an hour.
(05:29):
Yeah it's amazing. Yeah but meow 100 times as an
achievement but it's also like an actual game where you're like
running around doing shit. Yeah.
But yeah you can just like me out what people That I just
speak in a games, I just finished Portal 2.
Oh, nice. What a fun time.
That was there any cats in it? No.
(05:51):
Oh boy. That is the lie to em.
Gee that sucks. Yeah, you're pretty high on it
recently. So I'm glad to hear that.
It was, it was all the way through.
That's why I picked up the cube because I've gotten picked up
the cube. Yeah, pick to the Rubik's Cube.
Yes, I can do it and now, I knowI watched you do it.
I need to twice. Yeah, I need to move on to
bigger and better. Keep they have four by fours.
(06:12):
Seen just pretty good. I mean, they have like, oh what
do you think the biggest cube isthat's like that doable.
Mmm. Yeah, I guess, yeah.
Like what I mean? I feel like I've seen five by
five. Sure, right there six by six,
ten by ten. Do you think at that point is
just silly looking? And I would imagine it's like
hard to look unwieldy. Yeah, yeah, you have to bring
(06:34):
around like, in a rolling luggage.
I was looking because I enjoy this and I was like well, It'd
be cool to have like a smaller one that I click a pocket Cube,
kind of sure on micro cube. But then when I looked it up, as
I didn't look that hard, but in a quick search all I could find
was like world's smallest Cube, which is like, the size of one
(06:59):
of the, like, one of the little squares.
Yes. And it's like, well, that's do
you remember? The looks like the difference.
He travel size like Monopoly andshit like that.
Yes, we're like, it's not actually a playable but it's
pretty cute. They were like he The best
actually. Yeah, I every once in while
there would be a playable on thelike Connect Four was actually
playable. Yes I did have that I miss I
(07:24):
feel like there was like one that was like trouble and it had
the little pop, sure. Yeah.
The problematic Do they make those for DND dice?
What do you mean like a little popper?
We oh we oh shit. That's really interesting.
I love that idea. Because when you get it, you
like six or seven individual poppers or you put them on 11,
(07:46):
sort of Pop plank. Yeah, I guess I need to figure
out what this bit like the schematic, the schematics of a
pauper and how they work are, huh?
That's a really cool idea that Ilike, I'm sure that on that,
see, you can buy them. I would, I would maybe I would
If not, maybe that's what we're doing.
Our fear of the podcast sends risk, gonna start creating D&D
(08:08):
popper, the Apophis, which not what it sounds like.
You want to get an article. Yeah, let's get out of go.
Well, do you want me to get in? I'd prefer if you did it this
time. I think you should get the last
one. Yeah, just totally.
Fuck everything up. I got an eBay listing for yeah,
like a bunch of magic cards. What?
Okay, this is awesome. I can't get the concept of a
(08:33):
skateboarding thread, the Barbarian.
Okay, that is cool. The Rudd thr UD not how I was
gonna be spelled for what I thought would be to Dee's.
Hmm that makes it maybe it's through the road.
The Barbarian is a Comics character created by British
Artist Carl crit critchlow okay in 1981 although thrud himself
(08:57):
Is a parody of Conan the Barbarian particularly as
depicted by the Arnold Schwarzenegger films inspiration
for the characters adventures and adversaries has been drawn
from several fantasy sources, okay?
During the 1980s, a thread comicstrip was a regular and popular
feature in the role play. And wargame magazine white
dwarf. Oh, that's like a real magazine,
the rods grotesque and comic Antics forming a memorable part
(09:18):
of the Magazine's Golden Age. The sounds great.
That sounds like that. Like, like Mad Magazine type
shit where it's like, it's not necessary that the best comic or
anything, but it's just like, I'm glad it's here in this.
Nation that I read in 2000 like when I when I read when I had a
subscription of Mad Magazine, when was that like elementary
and middle school rules obviously.
(09:41):
Maybe High School to. Yeah I loved it.
That's so cool. But there's right in the grocery
store there was a long-running feature called bitter man.
Okay. Which was just about and it
wasn't it wasn't my favorite butit was that sort of thing where
it was like I'm glad this is here, I'm glad this artist has a
place for right? Yeah, we Rory.
Like God, basically everything in Mad Magazine, right?
But the fold the fold in God. I love the full on the back page
(10:03):
or whatever. Yeah, that's genius.
Its genius. Its incredible.
Is that magazine start running? No damn it recently.
Okay. Stop that believe.
Okay. All right, which is it's a
goddamn shame. I was honestly like, within the
last few years, I was like, should I subscribe to Mad
Magazine again? How cool that b is.
(10:23):
It wasn't a monthly thing or if so yeah.
Man just imagine like as it got closer to like the whatever the
first week of the month or whatever.
You like checking the mail like whose today, you know, and then
you know be disappointed in the morning and one day there's a
Mad Magazine sitting there in the plastic wrap.
What me worry. It was it wasn't in plastic wrap
it would have a you know like magazine paper the feel of
(10:44):
magazine paper. Yeah.
Like the cover would be they would add up like more regular
kind of construction paper almost cover.
That was interesting. I believe it had like Sort of
additional illustration. Wow, but it was like black and
white but it was just like a heavier paper cover brilliant.
And there's and that's also whatthey would put.
(11:06):
The like you know they have likethe sticker.
That's like the post sticker. That has like your dress and
stuff. Yeah, sugar.
Yeah. I would go on the paper.
Okay. Wouldn't ruin.
Wow. The magazine that's seems like
really high quality like thoughtwas put into it.
Yeah, that's really cool. Yeah, it was extremely cool man.
Yeah, I miss I used to be a script subscribed all kinds of
my I mean nothing fun like Mad but you know like don't even
(11:28):
know Lego Lego Magazine and she like the Nickelodeon magazine,
you know and usually magazine please.
Thank you. Yeah.
But you just check your mailbox,you just get like cool shit in
the middle aisle time gang, coolshit anymore.
I subscribe to Bon Appetit and that's what I get very excited
one because I get to see all my new recipes that I get to know.
That's get away. It's cool.
That the scientists are coming up with recipes for food.
(11:49):
It's kind of, you know, I was honestly thinking about that the
other day because we were talking about how You know,
there aren't really any new movies, which is partially covid
stuff. But yeah.
And like everything is like a remake or part of a bigger IP.
And I genuinely was like, Maybe we just kind of made all of no,
no, you know what, you know, I know that is because video
(12:12):
games, keep coming out with crazy crazy concept for video
games, but look at how much longer movies have been around.
It's an interesting rebuttal andbut no, I mean like you could
boil. Here's the one thing you could
do. You could be like well we only
ever tell one story, right? Right.
So I think that there's like There's a handful of like a fish
(12:38):
out of water coming of age. Sure.
Once you hit like those you justit's not possible to do more
than just those 10 Concepts or whether right sure.
So, so we're going to do a shot of water.
You might as well make it Thor, you know what you're saying?
Like well Korean already exists when you do Korean Fusion to
make it anything differently? Yeah.
(12:59):
So Yeah, I mean, I see what you're saying but I mean Knives
Out was just just came out a couple years ago and that was
like yeah it's like a whodunit whatever.
So it's in the ballpark of I go,what's this kind of story?
But like it was a original movieyou know like true playing off
of you know I got the Chris t-shirt whatever and the next
ones coming out like a very special.
Yeah. So we'll see.
(13:19):
But yeah, I see what you're saying.
No. I think it's just that.
It's easier to make money when you're just giving people what
they are already comfortable with.
That's true. Yeah, you know and there's like
it takes so these days it takes so much. can money to make a
movie that they're not willing to be like you know, just make
some random bullshit I guess or you just have to I mean Anything
(13:39):
that would have been like a low or mid budget like comedy or
rom-com romantic movies. Like Dude where's my car?
It's just streaming now. Yeah, you're right.
None of that is getting releasedin theaters.
Yeah, that's a really good point.
Likelike marry me, we watch that.
Not that long ago. It's the, the Jennifer Lopez,
(14:02):
who I think just changed her last name to athletically.
Got married, it's rustic. I'm pretty sure she changed her
name. Okay.
Because she is a very famous person.
Yeah. And with a very famous name.
Yes. But anyway, that's beside the
name is JWoww's JF Jeffrey. Name is Jeff now, Al Jaffe
artist of the folden from Mad Magazine.
It all comes back. It's like the rom-com with her
(14:25):
and Owen Wilson. Okay, sure.
And it was just on, oh, just came out recently and right and
it was on streaming. I don't think it was released in
theaters, but 10, 15 years ago. Yeah, I'd be like, yeah, I mean,
they 27 Dresses are, you know, would have been any one of those
movies but they just It's just cheaper now it's done anymore.
Yeah, that's so weird. What is that?
Does something to the internet like newspapers are going away?
(14:47):
People get their reading online.Well, I think it's kind of what
you said, like, if you're going to it's just not worth a
distribute the movie. And it's not because we know a
Marvel movies going to make a billion dollars.
Why would we make 200 million when we could make a billion?
And, and for these four four, marry me.
If it gets released in theaters It'll probably only be in most
(15:08):
theaters for a couple weeks, right?
I mean, maybe not right now because there are no movies but
it being there's a couple weeks wouldn't really make as much
then it would go on and do DVDs and streaming sure.
Just don't do any of that shit. Put it right on streaming.
Yeah, Hulu or whoever is going to pay.
You probably more than you wouldhave made in ticket sales to
just toss it on stream function.Once you take out the cost of
(15:30):
shipping it around and stuff, that's kind of sad a little bit.
It is, that's like just put bad movie.
Theaters, man, you just got to rent the theater out.
Yeah, and wash your own shitty movies.
I just does not a shitty movie to tell you this, I just watched
My Big Fat Greek Wedding for thefirst time.
Oh, what a great many really good.
It's so good. Yeah, it's a, it's a fantastic.
(15:53):
We just watched it. We watched it at some point
during the pandemic. Okay.
It's a great time and I saw it in theaters.
I remember that's wild because it came out.
We were like 10 or 12. Maybe my friend and I were like
we gotta see this place. Are you serious?
Yeah, the two of us went Why? Because we were Big Greek head.
We were like, precocious like weirdos.
(16:13):
So start our just weirdo that, you know, like we literally
that's a weird thing to do is add, our parents dropped us off
at the theater because I guess go.
See Big Fat Greek Wedding? We're gonna go watch.
Yeah. Terminator 3.
That's really crazy. Yeah.
It's a fantastic film. That's good.
That's really good. Take place in Chicago which I
didn't know, I didn't realize that until we re watched it and
(16:35):
I was like Hell. Yeah.
Yeah. But that movie, I think the, the
kind of film that movie always had, was like, it was made for,
like tones. In it literally shows up on
Mike. There's nowhere else to go for
Town and then sure enough, it's Joey Fatone for some reason
you're telling me I get Aiden from Sex in the City and Joey
Fatone. Don't know who you're talking
about. Yeah, sure.
The guy, the okay good for him because I couldn't, it was like,
(16:56):
it was made for not that much money and made like all the
money. So just do that again, man.
It's great. Don't bother watching the second
one. Yeah I mean it's fine but it's
not it's not the same that sucksand definitely don't watch My
Life in Ruins. What is that?
(17:17):
That was like unrelated but her like next movie.
Okay, it does have Harland Williams in it, okay?
I'd like to go back and watch things at Harlan Williams to see
how there's no way any of the holes up.
I don't know if it held up at the time.
Yeah. What a strange person to have
gotten so much given to him? Like it, you know I'm saying
(17:37):
like yeah I'm not that he didn'tearn what he got but like it's a
weird time. What a strange fellow he was
like What if Jim Breuer was weirder?
You know he has a new special out Timber.
He's real like anti woke. Yeah I've heard that yeah but I
(17:58):
watch Like a 30 second clip fromYouTube and it was
incomprehensible it was because he kept doing the go voice he
just does shit like that like apropos of nothing.
Like my favorite thing that shitty comedians do is they'll
be like they'll have some like Punch line about like whatever.
Usually like these lives. So stupid.
(18:20):
Sure I'll go like hello. Although Hitler had with the mic
so I highly recommend if If you like I don't even know what you
would like super anti humor likedeep satire.
(18:44):
Tim Heidecker of his a stand-up special and I'm I'm seeing him
on Friday which I'm 400 cooler, maybe Saturday.
So this week I'm seeing him and I'm very excited.
Cool. But it's the entire special is
done as if he is. That guy like sure not not super
(19:06):
conservative, like anti woke, but just like a shitty old white
guy. And like, the big thing is,
like, no more bullshit and that's like he's like, is called
the no more bullshit. Okay, it's so he told her I'm
doing this character. He's so he's but or right now is
because he's also Just has like sincere music career.
(19:31):
Cool. Okay, this tour is his band and
then also him doing. So you like I don't know what
the order is but I think like the band opens and they just
legitimately play, they're good music that right?
And then that's does stand up. Have you seen that thing?
I don't know what it is or what it's tied into.
But there was like some character that he played on like
(19:51):
a podcast somewhere. And something happened is I met
begin this, the the Specifics wrong.
But basically the character had to go to court for something and
they they actually filmed like hours and hours and hours of
Court footage with like a judge and him playing this character
and like defense attorney is, and and they put like, it was
like a straight. I remember when this was
(20:13):
happened. I watch some of it.
It's wild that they did. This is his I wish I could get
into his podcast but it feels soHard to crack because it's been
going on for so long. Okay.
So maybe it's that podcast. I know where it comes from.
Okay, it's cool. He's doing that kind of stuff,
like I respect it but I'm like yeah like yeah I'm like I'm not
trying to this stand-up special though had me It was so fucking
(20:39):
fun but also like it was the kind of thing where Jessica
walked in and she was like, you know, what?
Even is this like? Yeah, like you have two, I love
that because a lot of prereqs tobe able to enjoy that speaking
of which This is crazy and and you're going to.
If anyone listens to me, talk anywhere, you're going to hear
(21:00):
me talk about this again. Okay, we saw we're out recently
on Saturday, what? I didn't know that and where the
Chicago Symphony Center, okay, Idon't, yeah sure.
Okay. Emo Philips open Forum, which I
was just, I was thinking to myself this whole time, like
speaking of like, weird comedians or whatever.
Yeah, it was the same. He was just, he was just Emo
(21:23):
Philips, right? While And he closed with my
favorite G. It was all new stuff, but then
he did close with like my favorite joke of his, which is
the guy who's about to jump off a bridge.
Yes. And like, oh what like, no God,
what religion are you oh, like Baptist?
Yeah, yeah, it's not even. Yeah, it's look up the look of
the joke. I'll post it.
And yeah, it's a good. It's a good joke.
(21:45):
He closed with that. Okay, what a treat, I see that
he's great but then Weird Al came and played and this tour is
Thal non parodies, the whole conceit of this tour is he's not
playing any parody. Okay just always Originals like
super fun. I do veteran shit and he closed
(22:06):
before the The Encore. Close with album.
I was hoping you would say that and he said we don't need to get
into all of it but he there's a part at the end where he goes I
lost my train of thought. Hmm.
(22:28):
You know, in the song. Yeah.
And then he was like Let's startover no way and he did the
first, like, three minutes of the song and then there's also,
you know. Yeah, the list was like, five
times the size of the jump ever done in existence, and that kind
of shit is. So fucking funny to me, as a
(22:50):
very good because, just like, when is it ever gonna stop?
It was the keys being funny for different reasons.
Yes. Yeah.
But yeah. He and then, you know, the band
leaves, and then comes back for the Encore.
Sure. When they left, they They didn't
leave the stage, they all just walk to the side of the stage
and started looking at their phone.
And then eventually, they just walked back and a good.
(23:13):
And then for The Encore they played, You Can Call Me Al
cult-like. Sure recover of Paul, Simon and
and then they did like a real sick medley of, that's awesome
parities. So they did close out with some,
some parodies and like, just wild stuff.
Okay, you're gonna close out with but did you ever read the
what do they call like the lyrics?
She or Whatever in the CD for running with Scissors so that
(23:36):
all the lyrics are right now forevery song, but then Albuquerque
is that the end. So that is don't have enough
room. So it even says that it's like
whoops. Sorry, I guess we didn't think
this one through. It does have the lyrics As like
nothing. We we did listen to that album
for Bill buds recently. Mmm, a lot of it doesn't hold.
Yeah, I've heard that parts of Albuquerque to unfortunately.
(23:57):
Yeah. So what you gonna do?
I don't know. But it was it was a great time.
It was funny in sixth grade. Well, the koala concert was
funny 90 on Saturday. Yeah.
Hell yeah, big week for for music for me, I guess I didn't
even realize that the Weird Al and then what's the other one
person you might occur to my? Okay.
(24:17):
Sure, yeah. I mean, has he was love music.
I just never been able to get into it, you know, it's fine.
All the like words and sounds sounds.
I think for me it's the words onsounds together, you know, but
bullshit. Yeah.
But then sometimes you get Sounds by themselves and that's
no good either. You know, and words are only
(24:39):
child. Only intolerable don't even get
me started on. Yeah, I mean that point.
Yeah, I don't remember the know.I do.
Remember the last concert I wentto, I think it was Um, Band of
Horses which I don't give a I don't give two shits about,
they're fine, they're nothing wrong with them.
But there's someone just go walkaround.
The bar was that was like, hey Sam, I just want to go see the
content. It's like it's got its a band of
(25:00):
horses for free which is that was crazy.
It was cool. Those like all right, whatever.
Sure before that it was fucking Jimmy Buffett.
Okay. So I'm all over the place man
and I would love to see Jimmy Buffett again.
Yeah. Treat me right.
Someone pointed out that he was like 29.
When he wrote Margaritaville canCan you imagine Penning a song
(25:22):
like that he already was retired.
So she was like 29. Yeah, yeah.
So I think that Bertha has to like someone was like he was
born retired. Like how do you write that song
at 29? That's and that's, that's not
even like because it's always like, oh, there's there's this
person so young and like, Pete Davidson's 18 and he's already
(25:43):
on SNL sure. It's not the he wrote a good
song it's that he wrote that specific song just like yeah it
feels like that's a song that you wrote when your Minimum,
what 50 I was. Yeah.
Like honestly, right? So I don't know, man.
I'm just impressed with the The the for the, the gift of
(26:07):
Prophecy that he had, I have to imagine, right?
maybe he was just maybe a retired person died and he was
reincarnated as them, you know? Like he was the most famous
retired person before him like Ernest, Hemingway killed himself
with a shotgun and then the day after Jimmy, Buffett was born.
(26:30):
Who's the one? Who choked on the eyedropper?
Oh, the Tennessee Williams. I don't know, sure, sure what
was he doing? He was like, it was like an
opium back. No, no.

(27:14):
maybe it is. Let her know.
I don't know. Smell you later.
Even if I wanted to, even if I knew what I was doing, I
couldn't even do this Cube. Oh, because I think the orange
(27:38):

That keeps all fucked up. I didn't solve it.

a newspaper that has, says, Wikipedia and has our logo on
(02:54):
it. And then, what is the shirts?
I don't know what the bottom says.
I'm gonna I can make a guess, but the top part says Halloween,
I assume a tape. It's yeah, it probably says
howling. So in Japanese, it's written

Paper bag and my controls. Got all fucked up.
At one point, like a little likea harness got put on me and I

Like they made them get cats. Yeah, yeah.
Just to do the study on it. Yeah.
So you got to come over and check this game out, dude.
Pretty slick with. So so because I It's like I got
(04:43):
this Xbox. What the fuck am I going to do
with it? Because I can't play that game
sucks. I'm just going to keep playing
Halo, I guess so. It's not on Xbox game pass or
whatever, and which is, that's like the perfect game pass game.
Yeah. There's literally, there's an
achievement. When achievements is take a nap
for an hour, like, got sleep foran hour, like a real owl and
(05:08):
actual our yeah, it's not like it's part of a, like a, it
doesn't do anything. You would just curl up on a
pillow and just go to sleep. It's like, you know, how on Like
old like on Sonic like the original Genesis version.
If you stand too long he'll liketap his foot and kind of like
look at it. Yeah for sure you like idle
animation. It's like that.
Yeah. For an hour.
(05:29):
Yeah it's amazing. Yeah but meow 100 times as an
achievement but it's also like an actual game where you're like
running around doing shit. Yeah.
But yeah you can just like me out what people That I just
speak in a games, I just finished Portal 2.
Oh, nice. What a fun time.
That was there any cats in it? No.
(05:51):
Oh boy. That is the lie to em.
Gee that sucks. Yeah, you're pretty high on it
recently. So I'm glad to hear that.
It was, it was all the way through.
That's why I picked up the cube because I've gotten picked up
the cube. Yeah, pick to the Rubik's Cube.
Yes, I can do it and now, I knowI watched you do it.
I need to twice. Yeah, I need to move on to
bigger and better. Keep they have four by fours.
(06:12):
Seen just pretty good. I mean, they have like, oh what
do you think the biggest cube isthat's like that doable.
Mmm. Yeah, I guess, yeah.
Like what I mean? I feel like I've seen five by
five. Sure, right there six by six,
ten by ten. Do you think at that point is
just silly looking? And I would imagine it's like
hard to look unwieldy. Yeah, yeah, you have to bring
(06:34):
around like, in a rolling luggage.
I was looking because I enjoy this and I was like well, It'd
be cool to have like a smaller one that I click a pocket Cube,
kind of sure on micro cube. But then when I looked it up, as
I didn't look that hard, but in a quick search all I could find
was like world's smallest Cube, which is like, the size of one
(06:59):
of the, like, one of the little squares.
Yes. And it's like, well, that's do
you remember? The looks like the difference.
He travel size like Monopoly andshit like that.
Yes, we're like, it's not actually a playable but it's
pretty cute. They were like he The best
actually. Yeah, I every once in while
there would be a playable on thelike Connect Four was actually
playable. Yes I did have that I miss I
(07:24):
feel like there was like one that was like trouble and it had
the little pop, sure. Yeah.
The problematic Do they make those for DND dice?
What do you mean like a little popper?
We oh we oh shit. That's really interesting.
I love that idea. Because when you get it, you
like six or seven individual poppers or you put them on 11,
(07:46):
sort of Pop plank. Yeah, I guess I need to figure
out what this bit like the schematic, the schematics of a
pauper and how they work are, huh?
That's a really cool idea that Ilike, I'm sure that on that,
see, you can buy them. I would, I would maybe I would
If not, maybe that's what we're doing.
Our fear of the podcast sends risk, gonna start creating D&D
(08:08):
popper, the Apophis, which not what it sounds like.
You want to get an article. Yeah, let's get out of go.
Well, do you want me to get in? I'd prefer if you did it this
time. I think you should get the last
one. Yeah, just totally.
Fuck everything up. I got an eBay listing for yeah,
like a bunch of magic cards. What?
Okay, this is awesome. I can't get the concept of a
(08:33):
skateboarding thread, the Barbarian.
Okay, that is cool. The Rudd thr UD not how I was
gonna be spelled for what I thought would be to Dee's.
Hmm that makes it maybe it's through the road.
The Barbarian is a Comics character created by British
Artist Carl crit critchlow okay in 1981 although thrud himself
(08:57):
Is a parody of Conan the Barbarian particularly as
depicted by the Arnold Schwarzenegger films inspiration
for the characters adventures and adversaries has been drawn
from several fantasy sources, okay?
During the 1980s, a thread comicstrip was a regular and popular
feature in the role play. And wargame magazine white
dwarf. Oh, that's like a real magazine,
the rods grotesque and comic Antics forming a memorable part
(09:18):
of the Magazine's Golden Age. The sounds great.
That sounds like that. Like, like Mad Magazine type
shit where it's like, it's not necessary that the best comic or
anything, but it's just like, I'm glad it's here in this.
Nation that I read in 2000 like when I when I read when I had a
subscription of Mad Magazine, when was that like elementary
and middle school rules obviously.
(09:41):
Maybe High School to. Yeah I loved it.
That's so cool. But there's right in the grocery
store there was a long-running feature called bitter man.
Okay. Which was just about and it
wasn't it wasn't my favorite butit was that sort of thing where
it was like I'm glad this is here, I'm glad this artist has a
place for right? Yeah, we Rory.
Like God, basically everything in Mad Magazine, right?
But the fold the fold in God. I love the full on the back page
(10:03):
or whatever. Yeah, that's genius.
Its genius. Its incredible.
Is that magazine start running? No damn it recently.
Okay. Stop that believe.
Okay. All right, which is it's a
goddamn shame. I was honestly like, within the
last few years, I was like, should I subscribe to Mad
Magazine again? How cool that b is.
(10:23):
It wasn't a monthly thing or if so yeah.
Man just imagine like as it got closer to like the whatever the
first week of the month or whatever.
You like checking the mail like whose today, you know, and then
you know be disappointed in the morning and one day there's a
Mad Magazine sitting there in the plastic wrap.
What me worry. It was it wasn't in plastic wrap
it would have a you know like magazine paper the feel of
(10:44):
magazine paper. Yeah.
Like the cover would be they would add up like more regular
kind of construction paper almost cover.
That was interesting. I believe it had like Sort of
additional illustration. Wow, but it was like black and
white but it was just like a heavier paper cover brilliant.
And there's and that's also whatthey would put.
(11:06):
The like you know they have likethe sticker.
That's like the post sticker. That has like your dress and
stuff. Yeah, sugar.
Yeah. I would go on the paper.
Okay. Wouldn't ruin.
Wow. The magazine that's seems like
really high quality like thoughtwas put into it.
Yeah, that's really cool. Yeah, it was extremely cool man.
Yeah, I miss I used to be a script subscribed all kinds of
my I mean nothing fun like Mad but you know like don't even
(11:28):
know Lego Lego Magazine and she like the Nickelodeon magazine,
you know and usually magazine please.
Thank you. Yeah.
But you just check your mailbox,you just get like cool shit in
the middle aisle time gang, coolshit anymore.
I subscribe to Bon Appetit and that's what I get very excited
one because I get to see all my new recipes that I get to know.
That's get away. It's cool.
That the scientists are coming up with recipes for food.
(11:49):
It's kind of, you know, I was honestly thinking about that the
other day because we were talking about how You know,
there aren't really any new movies, which is partially covid
stuff. But yeah.
And like everything is like a remake or part of a bigger IP.
And I genuinely was like, Maybe we just kind of made all of no,
no, you know what, you know, I know that is because video
(12:12):
games, keep coming out with crazy crazy concept for video
games, but look at how much longer movies have been around.
It's an interesting rebuttal andbut no, I mean like you could
boil. Here's the one thing you could
do. You could be like well we only
ever tell one story, right? Right.
So I think that there's like There's a handful of like a fish
(12:38):
out of water coming of age. Sure.
Once you hit like those you justit's not possible to do more
than just those 10 Concepts or whether right sure.
So, so we're going to do a shot of water.
You might as well make it Thor, you know what you're saying?
Like well Korean already exists when you do Korean Fusion to
make it anything differently? Yeah.
(12:59):
So Yeah, I mean, I see what you're saying but I mean Knives
Out was just just came out a couple years ago and that was
like yeah it's like a whodunit whatever.
So it's in the ballpark of I go,what's this kind of story?
But like it was a original movieyou know like true playing off
of you know I got the Chris t-shirt whatever and the next
ones coming out like a very special.
Yeah. So we'll see.
(13:19):
But yeah, I see what you're saying.
No. I think it's just that.
It's easier to make money when you're just giving people what
they are already comfortable with.
That's true. Yeah, you know and there's like
it takes so these days it takes so much. can money to make a
movie that they're not willing to be like you know, just make
some random bullshit I guess or you just have to I mean Anything
(13:39):
that would have been like a low or mid budget like comedy or
rom-com romantic movies. Like Dude where's my car?
It's just streaming now. Yeah, you're right.
None of that is getting releasedin theaters.
Yeah, that's a really good point.
Likelike marry me, we watch that.
Not that long ago. It's the, the Jennifer Lopez,
(14:02):
who I think just changed her last name to athletically.
Got married, it's rustic. I'm pretty sure she changed her
name. Okay.
Because she is a very famous person.
Yeah. And with a very famous name.
Yes. But anyway, that's beside the
name is JWoww's JF Jeffrey. Name is Jeff now, Al Jaffe
artist of the folden from Mad Magazine.
It all comes back. It's like the rom-com with her
(14:25):
and Owen Wilson. Okay, sure.
And it was just on, oh, just came out recently and right and
it was on streaming. I don't think it was released in
theaters, but 10, 15 years ago. Yeah, I'd be like, yeah, I mean,
they 27 Dresses are, you know, would have been any one of those
movies but they just It's just cheaper now it's done anymore.
Yeah, that's so weird. What is that?
Does something to the internet like newspapers are going away?
(14:47):
People get their reading online.Well, I think it's kind of what
you said, like, if you're going to it's just not worth a
distribute the movie. And it's not because we know a
Marvel movies going to make a billion dollars.
Why would we make 200 million when we could make a billion?
And, and for these four four, marry me.
If it gets released in theaters It'll probably only be in most
(15:08):
theaters for a couple weeks, right?
I mean, maybe not right now because there are no movies but
it being there's a couple weeks wouldn't really make as much
then it would go on and do DVDs and streaming sure.
Just don't do any of that shit. Put it right on streaming.
Yeah, Hulu or whoever is going to pay.
You probably more than you wouldhave made in ticket sales to
just toss it on stream function.Once you take out the cost of
(15:30):
shipping it around and stuff, that's kind of sad a little bit.
It is, that's like just put bad movie.
Theaters, man, you just got to rent the theater out.
Yeah, and wash your own shitty movies.
I just does not a shitty movie to tell you this, I just watched
My Big Fat Greek Wedding for thefirst time.
Oh, what a great many really good.
It's so good. Yeah, it's a, it's a fantastic.
(15:53):
We just watched it. We watched it at some point
during the pandemic. Okay.
It's a great time and I saw it in theaters.
I remember that's wild because it came out.
We were like 10 or 12. Maybe my friend and I were like
we gotta see this place. Are you serious?
Yeah, the two of us went Why? Because we were Big Greek head.
We were like, precocious like weirdos.
(16:13):
So start our just weirdo that, you know, like we literally
that's a weird thing to do is add, our parents dropped us off
at the theater because I guess go.
See Big Fat Greek Wedding? We're gonna go watch.
Yeah. Terminator 3.
That's really crazy. Yeah.
It's a fantastic film. That's good.
That's really good. Take place in Chicago which I
didn't know, I didn't realize that until we re watched it and
(16:35):
I was like Hell. Yeah.
Yeah. But that movie, I think the, the
kind of film that movie always had, was like, it was made for,
like tones. In it literally shows up on
Mike. There's nowhere else to go for
Town and then sure enough, it's Joey Fatone for some reason
you're telling me I get Aiden from Sex in the City and Joey
Fatone. Don't know who you're talking
about. Yeah, sure.
The guy, the okay good for him because I couldn't, it was like,
(16:56):
it was made for not that much money and made like all the
money. So just do that again, man.
It's great. Don't bother watching the second
one. Yeah I mean it's fine but it's
not it's not the same that sucksand definitely don't watch My
Life in Ruins. What is that?
(17:17):
That was like unrelated but her like next movie.
Okay, it does have Harland Williams in it, okay?
I'd like to go back and watch things at Harlan Williams to see
how there's no way any of the holes up.
I don't know if it held up at the time.
Yeah. What a strange person to have
gotten so much given to him? Like it, you know I'm saying
(17:37):
like yeah I'm not that he didn'tearn what he got but like it's a
weird time. What a strange fellow he was
like What if Jim Breuer was weirder?
You know he has a new special out Timber.
He's real like anti woke. Yeah I've heard that yeah but I
(17:58):
watch Like a 30 second clip fromYouTube and it was
incomprehensible it was because he kept doing the go voice he
just does shit like that like apropos of nothing.
Like my favorite thing that shitty comedians do is they'll
be like they'll have some like Punch line about like whatever.
Usually like these lives. So stupid.
(18:20):
Sure I'll go like hello. Although Hitler had with the mic
so I highly recommend if If you like I don't even know what you
would like super anti humor likedeep satire.
(18:44):
Tim Heidecker of his a stand-up special and I'm I'm seeing him
on Friday which I'm 400 cooler, maybe Saturday.
So this week I'm seeing him and I'm very excited.
Cool. But it's the entire special is
done as if he is. That guy like sure not not super
(19:06):
conservative, like anti woke, but just like a shitty old white
guy. And like, the big thing is,
like, no more bullshit and that's like he's like, is called
the no more bullshit. Okay, it's so he told her I'm
doing this character. He's so he's but or right now is
because he's also Just has like sincere music career.
(19:31):
Cool. Okay, this tour is his band and
then also him doing. So you like I don't know what
the order is but I think like the band opens and they just
legitimately play, they're good music that right?
And then that's does stand up. Have you seen that thing?
I don't know what it is or what it's tied into.
But there was like some character that he played on like
(19:51):
a podcast somewhere. And something happened is I met
begin this, the the Specifics wrong.
But basically the character had to go to court for something and
they they actually filmed like hours and hours and hours of
Court footage with like a judge and him playing this character
and like defense attorney is, and and they put like, it was
like a straight. I remember when this was
(20:13):
happened. I watch some of it.
It's wild that they did. This is his I wish I could get
into his podcast but it feels soHard to crack because it's been
going on for so long. Okay.
So maybe it's that podcast. I know where it comes from.
Okay, it's cool. He's doing that kind of stuff,
like I respect it but I'm like yeah like yeah I'm like I'm not
trying to this stand-up special though had me It was so fucking
(20:39):
fun but also like it was the kind of thing where Jessica
walked in and she was like, you know, what?
Even is this like? Yeah, like you have two, I love
that because a lot of prereqs tobe able to enjoy that speaking
of which This is crazy and and you're going to.
If anyone listens to me, talk anywhere, you're going to hear
(21:00):
me talk about this again. Okay, we saw we're out recently
on Saturday, what? I didn't know that and where the
Chicago Symphony Center, okay, Idon't, yeah sure.
Okay. Emo Philips open Forum, which I
was just, I was thinking to myself this whole time, like
speaking of like, weird comedians or whatever.
Yeah, it was the same. He was just, he was just Emo
(21:23):
Philips, right? While And he closed with my
favorite G. It was all new stuff, but then
he did close with like my favorite joke of his, which is
the guy who's about to jump off a bridge.
Yes. And like, oh what like, no God,
what religion are you oh, like Baptist?
Yeah, yeah, it's not even. Yeah, it's look up the look of
the joke. I'll post it.
And yeah, it's a good. It's a good joke.
(21:45):
He closed with that. Okay, what a treat, I see that
he's great but then Weird Al came and played and this tour is
Thal non parodies, the whole conceit of this tour is he's not
playing any parody. Okay just always Originals like
super fun. I do veteran shit and he closed
(22:06):
before the The Encore. Close with album.
I was hoping you would say that and he said we don't need to get
into all of it but he there's a part at the end where he goes I
lost my train of thought. Hmm.
(22:28):
You know, in the song. Yeah.
And then he was like Let's startover no way and he did the
first, like, three minutes of the song and then there's also,
you know. Yeah, the list was like, five
times the size of the jump ever done in existence, and that kind
of shit is. So fucking funny to me, as a
(22:50):
very good because, just like, when is it ever gonna stop?
It was the keys being funny for different reasons.
Yes. Yeah.
But yeah. He and then, you know, the band
leaves, and then comes back for the Encore.
Sure. When they left, they They didn't
leave the stage, they all just walk to the side of the stage
and started looking at their phone.
And then eventually, they just walked back and a good.
(23:13):
And then for The Encore they played, You Can Call Me Al
cult-like. Sure recover of Paul, Simon and
and then they did like a real sick medley of, that's awesome
parities. So they did close out with some,
some parodies and like, just wild stuff.
Okay, you're gonna close out with but did you ever read the
what do they call like the lyrics?
She or Whatever in the CD for running with Scissors so that
(23:36):
all the lyrics are right now forevery song, but then Albuquerque
is that the end. So that is don't have enough
room. So it even says that it's like
whoops. Sorry, I guess we didn't think
this one through. It does have the lyrics As like
nothing. We we did listen to that album
for Bill buds recently. Mmm, a lot of it doesn't hold.
Yeah, I've heard that parts of Albuquerque to unfortunately.
(23:57):
Yeah. So what you gonna do?
I don't know. But it was it was a great time.
It was funny in sixth grade. Well, the koala concert was
funny 90 on Saturday. Yeah.
Hell yeah, big week for for music for me, I guess I didn't
even realize that the Weird Al and then what's the other one
person you might occur to my? Okay.
(24:17):
Sure, yeah. I mean, has he was love music.
I just never been able to get into it, you know, it's fine.
All the like words and sounds sounds.
I think for me it's the words onsounds together, you know, but
bullshit. Yeah.
But then sometimes you get Sounds by themselves and that's
no good either. You know, and words are only
(24:39):
child. Only intolerable don't even get
me started on. Yeah, I mean that point.
Yeah, I don't remember the know.I do.
Remember the last concert I wentto, I think it was Um, Band of
Horses which I don't give a I don't give two shits about,
they're fine, they're nothing wrong with them.
But there's someone just go walkaround.
The bar was that was like, hey Sam, I just want to go see the
content. It's like it's got its a band of
(25:00):
horses for free which is that was crazy.
It was cool. Those like all right, whatever.
Sure before that it was fucking Jimmy Buffett.
Okay. So I'm all over the place man
and I would love to see Jimmy Buffett again.
Yeah. Treat me right.
Someone pointed out that he was like 29.
When he wrote Margaritaville canCan you imagine Penning a song
(25:22):
like that he already was retired.
So she was like 29. Yeah, yeah.
So I think that Bertha has to like someone was like he was
born retired. Like how do you write that song
at 29? That's and that's, that's not
even like because it's always like, oh, there's there's this
person so young and like, Pete Davidson's 18 and he's already
(25:43):
on SNL sure. It's not the he wrote a good
