No! I ordered a sandwich! Causethis week we recommend
friendship.

(00:29):
Jason! What did you think offriendship?
It's wow.

SPEAKER_01 (00:36):
It's like I love Tim Robinson so much.

SPEAKER_00 (00:40):
So everything you've seen them in Detroiters, and
you've seen them in I think youshould leave.
Whenever and you know, I lovethose.
Well, I haven't seen all ofDetroiters.
We started it one night when wewere kind of like drinking and
stuff, and then just haven't gotback to it.
But I think you should leave.
I watched the whole seriesprobably three or four times at
this point.
Um When you think of a TimRobinson movie, does this meet

(01:03):
your um did it meet yourexpectations?
Um I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 (01:09):
What are the expectations for Tim Robinson's?
I turned it on last night, and Igot about 30 minutes in, and
then Ashley's sitting next tome, and she's like, Are you sure
this is a movie?
I was like, Yeah, I hit it, Ihit press the button.
Uh backed out, and it was thechair company.

SPEAKER_00 (01:27):
Oh, you watched the wrong thing.
The chair company.
I've only seen the firstepisode.
Also good.

SPEAKER_01 (01:33):
So I didn't know, I don't have any expectations.
It's because I thought that wasthe movie.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:39):
I mean, they're it they're kind of similar, right?
Just like just Tim Robinson justbe Tim Robinson is a psychopath.
In insane situations.
Well, it's because this is akind of a movie just about a
regular guy who um well, it's aregular situation, right?
Of just guy making friends inhis adult life.

(02:02):
But what if that guy had no ideahow to be a human?

SPEAKER_01 (02:08):
Right?
Yeah, he can't read social cuesat all.

SPEAKER_00 (02:11):
Yeah, and then whatever he finally does, he
like betters himself, but thenthat itch comes back and he's
like he's got that dog in him.
Yeah.
The thing is, what really iscrazy about this movie is I kind
of connected on it sometimes onlike a very personal level.

(02:33):
Like it reminds me of sitting inschool, my senior year, around a
bunch of people that I'm notlike super close with at the
lunch table, but hey, they kindof accepted me for a little bit.
And anytime they'd always haveall these jokes and stuff, and I
just sit there quietly becauseawkward, you know, high school
kid didn't know how to befriends with people.

(02:53):
Yes.
I only knew how to be friendswith the people that I was
friends with.
Right.
So, and then you know, they'llall be saying, and then I say
something and they just look atme and it's like, so I won't do
that again.
Right?
So T just doesn't learn that heshould just stop doing stuff.
Yes.
I learned it pretty quickly of Ihate when people stare at me
like I'm dumb.
Yeah, that sucks.

(03:14):
So, like those aspects of thismovie kind of really hit me
deep, which made it hard towatch, but also kind of made me
feel better about myself.

SPEAKER_01 (03:23):
Yeah, because you didn't fuck up as much as toad.

SPEAKER_00 (03:26):
Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_01 (03:30):
No, yeah, this guy.
I love you, T-boy.
I love you, toad boy.
It's T boy.

SPEAKER_00 (03:40):
This movie, it's like when I when I put it back
on, I was like, I don't reallyremember too many quotes.
Like I remember like the bigones where he's screaming.
But then re-watching it thistime, I was like, Jesus Christ,
I could just sit here and just Ijust started looking through the
quotes, and I could just readthese quotes and laugh all day.
Um what makes Tim Robinson sofunny?

SPEAKER_01 (04:03):
Basking in awkwardness, I think.
You know, it's trying to make asituation so awkward.

SPEAKER_00 (04:09):
Like worse.
People like consider him likepeople consider this movie
cringe comedy.
Yeah, I can see that.
Man, but I hate cringe comedy.
But everything Tim Robinson doesis not cringe me out.
I don't get it.
Chair Company kinda did in somespots.

SPEAKER_01 (04:25):
Yeah, I see what you're saying.
I feel like that's his just shshtick.

SPEAKER_02 (04:30):
Yeah.
But it's like I can't figure outwhy why I don't find it cringy.

SPEAKER_01 (04:36):
I don't really feel cringy.
I feel something else.
It's close, but yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (04:42):
Because someone at comfortable someone at my wife's
work, uh, they watch they're abig Tim Robinson fan.
Um, and they were talking aboutit's like, oh, it's so hard to
watch, and like you know, I'vewatched it like two or three
times now, and I'm just like, Idon't know.
Like I could just put this on inthe morning, I'm good to go.

SPEAKER_01 (05:01):
But I I felt my mind going like trying to predict the
future of what how he was gonnafuck up so hard.
Yeah.
Oh I think that was a fun partof it.
It's just uh keeps you guessing.

SPEAKER_02 (05:14):
And I guess there's like um I don't know what I was
gonna say.

SPEAKER_00 (05:20):
So um is this a comedy or horror movie?
I think it's comedy for Austinit's a horror movie.
He's like, Jesus Christ, he justdelivered my package and we hung
out a couple times.
I didn't know he was gonna be aninsane guy.
That's what that's that's thescary part about because I think
if you if you made this fromAustin's perspective, it's the

(05:40):
scariest movie you've ever seenin your life.

SPEAKER_01 (05:43):
Um He just he pushes everything so far, and like
because every time he washanging out with Austin so many
times, and then he he just hasto keep pushing and pushing.

SPEAKER_00 (05:55):
I know, it's wild, and I think it's just because
Austin became a role model tohim so quickly and accepted him
so quickly, and it's like youshouldn't have done that.
There's rules.
You we have to have rules.
God, um yeah, I think it's uhit's definitely like a dramedy,
but there's like some aspects ofit where I was like, man, if

(06:16):
this like was happening in mylife, this is a horror movie.
Like this is every anxiety Iever have coming out into a
movie that somehow wasn'tcringed out.
There are some times where I waslike, don't please just act
normal in this situation.

SPEAKER_01 (06:32):
Like when he breaks into his house.
Yeah.
Well, I guess it's not breaking.

SPEAKER_00 (06:35):
That that was probably that was the part where
I was like, Jesus Christ, JesusChrist, get out of the house.
And then you like figure outlike the wife is still in the
house sleeping, and you're justwalking around strumming a
guitar, cleaning a dish.
Put on his clothes, yeah.
Um, so I guess you know, we'rewe're we're midlife, I guess,

(06:57):
right?
Um, how do you make friends withpeople in your midlife?
You just don't, I think.
Just don't.
It's just like you meet them atwork like we did.
Me and you met at work and wewere forced to work together,
and then we're like, 'cause waita second, we're we're kind of
cool guys together.

SPEAKER_01 (07:11):
That's it hardly ever works out that way.
Yeah.
Um you just kind of have to goout and do things that make you
feel uncomfortable, and then youmeet people who are doing the
same thing.
Yeah.
So you can be uncomfortabletogether.

SPEAKER_00 (07:24):
Yeah, right.
It's like you almost gotta beforced, kind of like uh Craig in
this movie where uh the wife waslike, You get you're gonna go
hang out with him.
And he's like, The new Marvel.
It's supposed to be totallynuts.
And it's like, no, you have togo, and it's like, okay, and
then you end up being kind ofcool and chill with each other.
Yeah.
Because even in my 20s, therewas um uh one of my friends from

(07:47):
work.
Uh, me and Natalie went to gohang out like New Year's Eve in
Nashville with them.
It's like where Kings of Leonwas playing.
And there was like her friend,my friend from work, uh, she had
a friend that was a guy, and wehad so many things in common.
But you know what?
We had no chemistry togetherwhatsoever.

(08:07):
Like everything in common, butit seemed like we might have had
the exact same personality whereit's like, I don't know how to
make this work, guy.
How do we just how is thissupposed to disconnect?
What where's our charismatogether?
And it's like there just neverwas any, and it's like ah I got
painful.

SPEAKER_01 (08:26):
Wait until your um wife brings you to a party and
then sits you down in front ofanother guy that the the two
wives want you to be friendswith.
Yikes.
Like their husbands, they wanttheir husbands to be friends,
and then you you're forced tosit there and make small talk,
and then you accidentally crushsomeone's foot with your chair
because you try to screw up, andthen everything goes off the

(08:48):
rails.
People are dying by the end ofthe night.

SPEAKER_00 (08:54):
Jason, you did one thing.
How did you make yourself?

SPEAKER_01 (08:57):
I guess kept over apologizing.
I was like, I'm just going downthis tunnel.
I could see myself falling.
Yeah.
And I just can't stop it.
It's like a train derailing.

SPEAKER_00 (09:08):
Yeah, luckily, luckily, my wife would uh never
put me in that situation.
If anything, I'd be the one toput her in that situation just
because I'm a little more uh, Iguess like, hey, yeah, let's
hang out.
Like we went to your birthday.
It's like like last year.
That'd be something that, youknow, we wouldn't usually do.

(09:29):
And but I was like, hey Natalie,we're gonna go do this.
And then but we don't really doanything awkward, we just kind
of stand around quietly.
Sure.
Which is kind of what we did.
No, that's fine.
It's better than what we do.
Which room is Jason in?
Okay, let's just walk in thatroom.
That's the one person I know.
Okay, we're here now.
Oh, Jason walked into thekitchen.
Let's go to the kitchen.

SPEAKER_01 (09:50):
I think it's whenever you start to try to
fill the silence with any thefirst thing that comes to your
mind, that's the scary part.
You never know what's gonna popin there.

SPEAKER_00 (09:57):
That's usually where I start going wrong, is whenever
I'm like, let's say I'm at workand I'm training a new guy.
Then I sit there and then all ofa sudden, like, oh, I've trained
him on something a little bit,and then we kind of just stand
and stand next to each other alittle bit, and I'm like, am I
supposed to fucking talk?
And then I'm just rack my brainjust thinking of something to
say.
And then I'm like it's almostlike getting my hair cut, which

(10:18):
I did yesterday.
Nice.
And the whole time I was sittingthere, like, what do I bring up?
What do I bring up?
What can I say?
And at that point, I'm like, younever think of anything because
you're sitting here trying tothink of something and
panicking.

SPEAKER_01 (10:30):
It's not easy being sometimes I just go straight to
murder like talking aboutmurder.

SPEAKER_00 (10:34):
Yes, hey hair salas, you ever killed somebody with
your chest?

SPEAKER_01 (10:37):
Oh, I did.
I brought up he had all thissports stuff, and I'm not a I
don't watch sports, so I waslike, he was he brought up
football, and I was like, Yeah,I didn't watch the game, but
have you heard of AlexHernandez?
Yeah, Aaron Hernandez.
Yeah, Aaron Hernandez for awhile.
Hey, that's it, yeah.
But the other night I was uhstar at a party.
This guy we were sitting insilence, and I just thought that

(11:00):
he needed to talk about the uhJim Jones death tapes.
You're like literally like theperson people don't want to talk
to at a party.

SPEAKER_00 (11:14):
It's like don't go sit next to him.
He keeps talking about deadpeople.

SPEAKER_01 (11:20):
I was trying to talk about spooky stuff.

SPEAKER_00 (11:22):
Yeah.
Um yeah, I guess I'm just likenext time I get my hair cut,
it's like, uh, have you everheard of the demon barber on uh
Fleet Street or whatever?
Yeah, the Sweeney Todd movie.
Just be like, I don't know any.
You ever seen the movie Shampoo?

SPEAKER_01 (11:36):
Oh, the lady that cuts your hair is into um
Broadway.
So you could bring up SweeneyTodd.
I bet she'd have a lot to sayabout it.
Oh, cool.
Yeah.
Does she like movies?
I don't know.
But she likes uh stageperformances and her son does uh
performs in theater.

SPEAKER_00 (11:54):
Oh, that's cool.
Now I just be like, man, I justwish I could get back on the
stage, you know, and you'relike, really?
That's a random thing to say outof nowhere.
All right, I have a couple morequestions.
Um Tammy, the mother in themovie.

SPEAKER_02 (12:10):
Is she actually alive?

SPEAKER_01 (12:12):
Or is this a movie about grief?
I got that's what I got kind ofuh You're actually I think so,
because his son, she's alwaysinteracting with people.

SPEAKER_00 (12:19):
Yeah, I know.
But there's just like a becauseit felt there's sometimes where
I'm like, this is a movie abouthim getting over grief of his
wife dying in some aspects oflike the movie.

SPEAKER_01 (12:30):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (12:33):
Yeah.
So it's mainly the one whereshe's on with Austin on TV, and
then he just he's looking ather, and then he just like falls
down and cries.
Or no, he's looking at the plantthe flower when it he gets a
call for Tammy's flower shop,and then he's looking at the
flower she's trying to show him,and he's just like, Marvel's
super sick, and then he likefalls down and starts crying.

(12:54):
And I'm like, is she actuallydead in this movie?

SPEAKER_01 (12:57):
I don't think so, but you can never tell what's
real in his life.

SPEAKER_00 (13:02):
Yeah.
All right, um, did you ever kissyour mom on the lips?

SPEAKER_01 (13:06):
No, yeah, I think I did on accident one time.

SPEAKER_00 (13:09):
Dude, when he when Steven goes, kisses his mom on
the lips, and then he's like,See, y'all like kiss on the lips
now?
So great.
It's like, damn, she's TomBrady.
He kisses his mom on the lips.
No, he his son kisses him on thelips.
Oh, and people made fun of himand called him a creep for that.

(13:31):
It is a weird thing.
Something so intimate about akiss on the lips versus a kiss
on the cheek makes sense.

SPEAKER_01 (13:37):
One of my favorite podcasts to listen to, they
always end with kiss your dadsquare on the lips.

SPEAKER_00 (13:43):
Daddy kisser.
Gang grumps, they always like uhthey always have long-running uh
episode arcs of just saying,come on, give daddy a kiss.
It's like if I win this level,I'll kiss your dad on the lips.
I know there's a bunch of bits.
So um Andrew DeYoung is thedirector of this.
This is his first feature film.

(14:03):
Uh I will say, great job, AndrewDeYoung.
But part of DeYoung'sinspiration was his own
friendship issues in real life.
He explained a few years ago Ihad my own friendship issues
that I was trying to resolve,and I realized that I'd never
seen a breakup story about twomiddle-aged men.
It's something that's happeningall the time.
It's tragic, but it's alsodeeply funny.

SPEAKER_02 (14:22):
Yeah.
It is.
I mean, it's um.

SPEAKER_00 (14:27):
But usually I feel like when guys stop being
friends, it's not as much as whyaren't we hanging out more?
Why aren't we doing this more?
It's usually just like I feellike both guys kind of usually
recognize it and they just kindof start inching away from each
other.
And then it's just this unspokenthing.
Yeah, you just don't talk toeach other anymore.

(14:48):
Yeah.
I feel like and then like everyonce in a while you'll like
reconnect, but you know, it iswhat it is.

SPEAKER_01 (14:54):
And I think in this situation, uh, one of the
parties is still in love withthe other.

SPEAKER_00 (14:58):
Yep.
Yep.
He's it's um it's like fatalattraction for boys.
Oh yeah, it is for friends.
Um, so I guess the movie is kindof about spirit spiritual
emptiness.
I think that's the theme of themovie.
And DeYoung wanted to reallyemphasize in the film saying
that in today's society, Capitalhas replaced religion.
Continued, I wanted to point tothat and to the almost religious

(15:19):
scrasp that companies likeMarvel have on our culture,
which is why.
Have you seen the new Marvel?
Because it's constantly likebrought up throughout the whole
film.

SPEAKER_01 (15:28):
I think there's two brand new Marvel movies in a
year.

SPEAKER_00 (15:31):
Yeah.
And it was like throughout themovie, it's kind of bringing
people together, but if youhaven't seen it, you felt like
shit, I haven't seen it.
I can't be a part of this groupright now because everybody's
seen this one thing and I haveno idea what it is.
No spoilers.
Calls them the Hulk.
Get the fuck out.

(15:51):
So during the scene betweenCraig uh and Patton in the
garage, a print of SituationRoom is visible on the wall.
This photograph, taken on May1st, 2011, shows President
Barack Obama and his nationalsecurity team receiving live
updates from Operation NeptuneSpear.
The operation involved SEAL Team6 and ultimately led to the
killing of Osama bin Laden.

(16:13):
Craig loves the fact that we gotOsama.
Dude, the line is like, and I'mgonna leave you with this.
I don't think we should havepulled out of Afghanistan.
I don't like the way we did it.
Just those small little stupidlines.
Well, it feels so real, is likethat's this shit people just
bring up randomly.

(16:34):
It's like sitting and talking topeople at work.
It's like all of a sudden it'slike, why are we talking about
this thing randomly?
Why did you just bring that uparound me?
You think I know about thisstuff?
Been there.
Yeah.
Um, and despite the film being acomedy, DeYoung wanted to wanted
the audience to feel did notwant the audience to feel safe

(16:54):
and or settled.

SPEAKER_01 (16:55):
Yeah, it's it worked.

SPEAKER_00 (16:58):
Finally, to emphasize that uneasy feeling,
the filmmaker used as muchnatural natural lighting as
possible.
In fact, they took inspirationfrom a 2018 psychological
thriller, Burning.
It's a foreign film.
In particular, they looked to ascene where the characters in
that film are sitting outside atthe sunset.
We were reaching for somethingsimilar and to bring it in and
to bring it into a comedy whereeverybody's guard is down, said

(17:19):
Dion.
So I think that was verysuccessful because it did not
look like a comedy.
No, it felt like a movie A24movie.
And it was successful.

SPEAKER_01 (17:31):
Yeah, I felt like it was always dark.
I don't know where they'resupposed to be living.
Probably like Seattle.
Yeah.
I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 (17:36):
Oh uh uh well I know they filmed it in upstate New
York during February to make itas cold as possible while
filming.
So just yeah.
And because that's the thing,like upstate New York, it's like
let's say the Buffalo Bills.
You know, that's upstate NewYork.
They're like the only actualtrue Buff New York team because
the other two New York teamsplay in New Jersey.

(17:59):
Ironic.
Yeah, the Giants and Jets,they're stadiums in New Jersey.
That has nothing to do with any.
But I was thinking like whenpeople talk about getting free
agents during the offseason tocome to Buffalo, it's not really
a pleasant like not a lot ofpeople are like, yeah, I want to
go to that cold ass state wherethere's nothing really around.
Um, like people like to go tolike Miami and stuff like that,

(18:21):
because it's probably way betterto be at year round.

SPEAKER_01 (18:25):
Yeah, you're probably right.
Or like being in Canada, likethe Toronto teams.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (18:30):
It's like, ooh.
Yikes.
Don't want to go there.

SPEAKER_01 (18:33):
At least they're you know, polite up there.

SPEAKER_00 (18:36):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (18:37):
Alright, man.

SPEAKER_00 (18:38):
That's all the facts I got.
I think we should hop into theplot.
Okay.
But before we do that, we'd likeyou to think what the point of
the movie is.
Why did they make this film?
And if you have any ideas, uh inour description we have a link
at the top, which says send ussome fan mail.
If you can't click that, at thevery bottom of the description
is our email where you can sendus some fan mail.

(18:58):
It's we recommend moo werecommend mailbag at gmail.com.
And maybe one fucking day I'llget the email right, even though
I say it five times during anepisode.
We'll find out later.
All right, Jason, you ready?
Yeah.
Friendship 2024.
All right, so the film opens ata group therapy session.

(19:19):
Ever been to one?
Uh yeah.
Sucks.
Yeah, I've never been to one,never want to go to one.
Hope I don't have to.
Craig Waterman and his wife,Tammy, are in attendance.
Tammy discusses being cancerfree for the past six months and
how she is trying to get herlife back in order.
She's scared it might not comeback.
And Ted Craig's like, it'scoming back.

(19:40):
Um, she says she has rekindledher friendship with her ex
Devin.
Bum, boom, boom.
She mentions certain issues likenot remembering when she had her
last orgasm.
Craig chimes in and says thatthings are going good, and that
I'm having no problemsorgasming.
It's just like, that's not theretort you should have to that.

(20:03):
That makes you seem like youdon't care about your life.
It's just like so they thedirector wanted to pick picked
um Kate Mara because she doesn'tusually do comedies, so she
wanted a more serious actor.
So and I just love that theykind of give her con comedic
lines, but she plays it sostraight that it does not feel

(20:24):
comedic, right?

SPEAKER_01 (20:26):
She's survived cancer, she doesn't give a fuck
about you anymore.
Yeah, she wants to live.

SPEAKER_00 (20:31):
But it's just like, did you really have to tell this
whole audience that you're notorgasming why your husband's
sitting right next to you?
It's like, could you give like alittle bit more, like uh tell
them a little bit more about whyyou're not orgasming?
So uh Craig works as a marketingexecutive and oh, this is in
Colorado in Clovis, Colorado,while Tammy runs a flower shop

(20:51):
with her son Steve.
Stevie.
Under her employment, Craig andStevie are not as close as he is
with Tammy.
And we'll find out it's a bituncomfortably close.
Uh Tammy tells him that the mailcarrier brought them the wrong
package package, so he goes tothe home of his neighbor, Austin
Carmichael, or Paul Rudd, orBrian Fantana.

(21:13):
Yeah, because it's like atoned-down version of Brian
Fantana's.
I mean, they have like a uh theysing uh my boo just kind of like
randomly at a party with a bunchof guy friends, like they sing
um Afternoon Delight in AnchorMesh.
Um, yeah, so he's gonna godeliver it to Austin.
Craig and Austin strike up arapport before he goes back to

(21:35):
his house.
We also learn that um Craig ismoving.
There's like a weird part whereit kind of gives you the um so
while he's walking to Austin'shouse, right?
He gets a phone call from work.
He says, I'm actually right inthe parking lot right now.
And it's just it just goes toshow like how he just says stuff

(21:56):
without realizing how insane heis.
Because it's like, what are youtalking about?
You're at your house, you'regoing to someone's house, you're
still gonna have to go back toyour own house, get in your car,
then drive all the way there.
And what are they gonna be like?
How long have you been in theparking lot?
It's kind of like an insight onwho this guy is.
So Craig goes to work and poursa full mug.

(22:20):
Full mug coming through.
Full mug coming through.
Everybody can it's so dumb.
I love it.
Uh Craig goes home and Tammy iscomplaining about needing a
bigger car.
Um Tammy arranged oh, but likewith a full coffee coffee cup,
he gets into the room and he'sjust like, he's trying so hard
not to spill any of it.

SPEAKER_01 (22:40):
It kind of looks like he's just can't wait for
his first sip of the day.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (22:45):
It's like, I can't spill it.
I can't spill it on front.
Because he knows if he spillsit, he's just gonna be like,
fuck.

SPEAKER_01 (22:52):
He puts himself in these situations.

SPEAKER_00 (22:54):
Yeah, it's just like, dude, you don't need that
big of a cup.
You can just pour it liketwo-thirds full and then go back
and get more later after themeeting.
Um, yeah, so Tammy arranges forCraig and Austin to hang out,
even though Craig wants to seethe new Marvel.
That's totally nuts.
Um, and we learn Tammy is havingdinner with Devon, her ex.

SPEAKER_01 (23:16):
Ex-boyfriend.

SPEAKER_00 (23:17):
Yes.
Totally normal, totally notsomething to be weirded out by.
It's like, wait, so you'rehanging out with him a lot?
Please tell me he's not a hunky.
Oh, he's a hunky dude?
He's a firefighter.
He's a firefighter.
Of course.
You know, those guys don't havea reputation of just pulling
chicks easily.
Yeah.
I think they do actually.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (23:36):
They're a really uh high divorce rate as well.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (23:41):
Yeah, because they have to spend like 48 hours at
their job and then or like theyspend twenty-four total hours at
their job day and night, andthen they get like forty-eight
hours off.
Kind of seems nice.
Especially because if there isno fires, you kind of just
hanging out.

SPEAKER_01 (23:56):
Yeah, uh friend does it and he would he went to
school while he was working.
He'd be like studying and doingall kinds of stuff, and they
they cook first took huge mealsfor each other.

SPEAKER_00 (24:07):
Yeah, they have they have like a set of chores and
stuff that they like rotate.
It's kind of like uh when youhave a house full of like 10 to
12 kids, you know, you have likea chores.
Yeah.
Um, and then we see Stevenkisses Tammy on the lips.
And Craig's like, Y'all kisseach other on the lips when you
start doing that.
Can we have a conversation aboutthat?

(24:28):
So Craig goes to Austin's housewhere they have beers, and
Austin tells Craig about hiscareer as a local meteorologist,
and he's like, I knew I knew youfrom somewhere.
Craig has a job that makespeople addicted to apps, and
like he could tell that Austin,like he explains the whole
situation.
It's like kind of cool.
And then Austin's like, that'skind of shitty.

(24:49):
He's like, Yeah, it fuckingsucks.
After he was so excitedexplaining it.

SPEAKER_01 (24:55):
He's someone that you just can't help but hate.
Like someone who does that.

SPEAKER_00 (25:00):
Yeah.
Cause it's like, oh luck, yeah.
I mean, luckily, I'm not tooaddicted to any apps anymore.
There was like a game I wasaddicted to a little bit on my
phone, but not anymore.
So he also shows Craig an oldfossil and real relays his own
words of wisdom, which givescredit.
Craig, a nosebleed.
Because he's like looking at it,says his profound like ideology,

(25:21):
and then he starts nosebleed.

SPEAKER_01 (25:23):
Maybe that happens every time he thinks real hard.
Well, I think he's like That'swhy he never does.

SPEAKER_00 (25:28):
He I don't I don't know why it's a nosebleed.

SPEAKER_01 (25:31):
I guess he's just like overwhelmed with emotion.

SPEAKER_00 (25:34):
Yeah, overwhelmed with like, oh whoa, I've never
thought about this so hard.
And it's affected me so muchit's bleeding out of my nose.
I feel like when he gets reallyexcited, he starts to get
nosebleeds.
Um, and then oh, this leadsAustin to bring Craig into the
sewers and leads him throughtunnels that take them to City
Hall.
They go into the rooftop andsmoke a herbal cigarette.

(25:56):
Um, a lot of great lines though,through here.
He's like, It's not cannabis.
He's walking through the sewer,he's like, oh, my shoes, fuck.
Oh, looks like OVD's gonna getuh some more money out of me.
He's like, what's that?
It's like Ocean View Dining.
They have shoes.
Like everything I wear isOcean's View Dining.
It's like this, they have agreat fall collection coming

(26:16):
out.
And also, they sell TV dinners.
It's like, what?
And it's like the most um well,what are they taupe like color
set possible?
It's like they have no colors.
Um, and I have a feeling thatCraig is actually colorblind in
this movie.
Oh, maybe later he gets drumsand he gets your green drums,

(26:38):
and he's like, it's the samecolor as your guitar, and his
guitar is like burnt orange.
So I think he has no idea whatcolor is colorblind, I just
never knew it.
Whereas like he's looking atthis and he's like, Oh, this all
looks pretty bright andfantastic, and it's not.
Which might be a reason that hedoes not enjoy the flowers like
Tammy does.
Yeah, maybe.

(26:58):
Yeah.
So um, and then also a lot.
Um, like when they're gonna jumpover that little ledge, he has
to get up and he starts pullinghim, he's just screaming and
stuff.
That shit that Tim Robinson doesis so funny to me.
Just overreacting in thestupidest and smallest

(27:19):
situation, it it cuts to my coreof like everything that I find
funny.

SPEAKER_01 (27:24):
Like when he forgets how to drive.

SPEAKER_00 (27:26):
Yeah.
Oh, in the sketch, yeah.
Do you know what you're doing?
It's like I don't.
I have no idea what I'm doing.
Could you help me?
Um, and then he loses a shoe, sohe's definitely and then he's
like, ah, we'll come back andget it later.
It's like, you're just gonnawalk through the sewer with one

(27:46):
shoe.

SPEAKER_01 (27:47):
Yeah, it's gross.

SPEAKER_00 (27:48):
Of it that they walk into they walk into the city
hall and then it's got a cutoutof a guy, and he likes I thought
that was a guy.
Just he says he just he justsays things in the strangest
ways.
It's wild.
It's like I would have neverthought to say something like

(28:08):
that.
I thought that was a guy.
Um, Craig expresses hisphilosophy while smoking the
joint of just ask in regards togetting ahead in life, which
Austin takes to art regardinghis own ambitions.
He's like, because he talksabout, yeah, I just all I did
was just ask and I got apromotion.
He's like, that's what youshould do.
And then they like then Craig'slike, woo off the top of the

(28:32):
thing.
It's like he's free.
He like unlocked a part of themthat felt so new and so fresh.

SPEAKER_01 (28:38):
Like he helped, he actually helped someone that
that likes him a little bit.

SPEAKER_00 (28:42):
Yeah, someone that's like cooler than him who's able
to.
Yeah, because Austin gave himsome of his uh philosophy and he
gave some of his own philosophy,and it's like they bonded.
So we see, then see Craigwatching Austin do the weather
with a big smile on his face.
I love it.
It's like uh oh Craig takesTammy to see Austin perform with

(29:04):
his band and fantasizes aboutbeing his drummer.

SPEAKER_01 (29:09):
And it isn't the band called like the mayor sucks
or like the guy that's runningfor.

SPEAKER_00 (29:14):
Yeah, because it's like on his drum, the drum set.
Do you ever, whenever you listento music, like fantasize playing
it as like a band?

SPEAKER_01 (29:22):
Yeah, I guess so.
I've done that before.

SPEAKER_00 (29:24):
I it's so weird.
I guess because I did it so muchin high school, because you
know, I wish I was better withmusic and could play
instruments, and I've attemptedto play guitar and bass so much
while I was like in junior highand high school, and I just
tension span, obviously didn'thave it, but also I just did not
understand how music works andstill don't.
Um but like I always they alwaysdid like American Idol, but in

(29:48):
high school and or like youknow, battle the bands in high
school.
So, still to this day, when Ithink listen to music, I always
fantasize about it me being inhigh school playing it.

SPEAKER_01 (29:59):
The high school concert.

SPEAKER_00 (30:00):
And I'm just like, grow up, Jesse.
Mentally, you have to grow upfrom this fantasy.
Hey, it's it sounds like it's adream.
But like I feel like that's sucha Craig thing, though, of just
like I've always wanted to becool in front of people in a
band.
So weird.
Oh, so Austin calls during ameeting and convinces Craig to

(30:21):
ditch work to hang out.
Uh when we see them, they pickmushrooms and Austin convince
him to play the drums.
Then Craig sinks into mud.

SPEAKER_03 (30:33):
It just starts singing fucking good.
And it's helped help me.

SPEAKER_00 (30:46):
It's so and then you just got Austin just staring at
him like, what the fuck is thisguy screaming for?
But what's so frustrating isthat Craig acts so insane in
these situations, but no onelike does this thing, like what
the hell is wrong with you?
Why are you screaming?
Shut up, you're just sinking.
They all just kind of like stareat him like he's an animal in

(31:09):
the zoo almost.

SPEAKER_01 (31:10):
It's just overreacting.

SPEAKER_00 (31:12):
And it's just like, is this a normal way for like do
people just know a lot of peoplethat act like this?
Because if that happened to me,I'd be like, all right, man,
like that was really weird.
Why did you freak out like that?
You just sunk in some mud.
They'd be like, maybe weshouldn't hang out anymore.
Like I'm calling it cuts rightright there.
Um then he realizes he droppedhis phone.

(31:36):
Oh, dude, call that.

SPEAKER_01 (31:39):
Call the phone.
Oh shit.

SPEAKER_00 (31:42):
Yeah, but then his then dude lies.
Yeah, and then Austin's like,yeah, uh I don't have a phone.
I don't have a phone.
It's like I'm looking at a freeman right here, and then Craig's
just gives him this big smile,like, oh, what a way to look at
life.

SPEAKER_01 (31:55):
Except he's a big fat liar that lies.

SPEAKER_00 (31:57):
Yeah, he's a big fat liar.
Like that one girl onhereditary.
Um, so Austin shows Craig ayellow corvette and tells him
that if he gets it, then Craiggets to be the first riding in
it.
He's like, hell yeah, that's mybest friend.
It's gonna be a cool car.
Austin tells Craig that helistened to his just ask advice

(32:18):
and is now set to begin his newjob as a weatherman for the
morning news.
Nice.
He's like, I did it.
I helped my Fred.
Now he's like fully, fullyinvested in the friendship.
So Craig sees their friendshipas a turning point in his life,
leading him to having weirddaydreams where he becomes a
heroic figure in Austin's life.
And also in a hypotheticalapocalyptic scenario that he

(32:39):
envisions, civilization hascrashed and Craig has led us to
the future.
He's thinking of a Marvel movie.
But he's just bringing him wood.
Yeah, just brought some wood.
That's it.

SPEAKER_01 (32:50):
Saved everything.

SPEAKER_00 (32:54):
At home, Craig also starts to pay more attention to
Tammy and Steve.
Um, he like wakes up and he'slike, Hey Tammy, can I wake you
up with a lick?
Yeah, but he's making breakfast.
Yeah, and it's like, what do youthink you're gonna have to just
have like frying mushrooms, andyou're thinking, yeah, I have
time to give you oral sex?

(33:16):
Also, most disgusting way to saythat.
Hey, can I wake you up with alick?
And then also just seeing likeTim Tim Robinson being the one
that says it's like even likethis character, Craig, is like,
ugh, I don't want Craig to wakeme up with a lick.
Um, and so then like we see thathe's making like mushroom toasts

(33:38):
because of Austin.
Um, he goes on a walk, he pickssome flowers, now he listens to
punk because he like they comesin and he's just like listen to
punk music.
She Tammy's like, you don'tlisten to music.
He's like, Yeah, I do.
I do now.
Which uh kind of also gave melike the heebie jeepies, because
you know, I usually don't listento music, I listen mostly
podcasts.
So I'm like, oh no, am Iactually fucking Craig?

(34:00):
This is starting to get awkward.

SPEAKER_01 (34:02):
Well, it's do you ever have that friend that just
tried too hard?
Or that person that tried toohard to be your friend?
It's sad.

SPEAKER_00 (34:13):
No, um trying too hard to be my friend.
No, not really, I guess.
I've never ran into thatsituation, but I've always had
like few friends.
And usually it's like thefriends that I have are the ones
that are like you're my friendsbecause you're normal and I like
I like the way we hang out.
If someone was ever like tooaggressively friends with me,

(34:33):
I'd just probably ghost them.

SPEAKER_03 (34:35):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (34:35):
Yeah, it's scary.

SPEAKER_02 (34:38):
Um, I lost my place.

SPEAKER_00 (34:42):
Uh oh yeah, and uh so yeah.
So Austin decides to inviteCraig over to his house to hang
out with his friend group.
Hate this.
As soon as I saw this, I waslike, this isn't gonna work out.
Um he starts it starts a littlerough when he walks into a glass
door.
But he plays it off so well.
And it doesn't break till afterhe goes inside because he walks

(35:05):
in, closes it, and he's like,everybody's like, Are you okay?
And they're just staring at himand he's like, So how'd you guys
all meet?
And then it like works, it'shilarious.
And it would have been a greatnight, probably from then, but
then the glass breaks.
Or did the glass break?
Then he said, How did y'allmeet?
The glass broke first.
Yeah.
That kind of broke the tension.

(35:25):
Yeah.
Instead of an icebreaker, it wasa glass breaker.
Didn't so um everything goeswell at first.
Uh, with the group doing a singalong to my boo.
Cringy and random as hell.
That was the most cringy part.
When they broke out the song, Iwas like, ugh, I would leave.

SPEAKER_01 (35:42):
And they're having like an emotional support group
session.
Yeah.
Like it's so over the top.

SPEAKER_00 (35:47):
Yeah, it's so weird.
Because uh I think his name isGary's talking about how it's
like he's like, it's so roughbecause you know, uh, I have to
buy a bra from like my daughter,and she's got big boobs.
It's so weird.
Everybody's gonna look at her.

SPEAKER_01 (36:01):
Everyone's so slated to each other.
It's like, it's like you'venever seen people that are this
close friends.

SPEAKER_00 (36:07):
Yeah, because I was gonna say, usually at a group of
guys, they're all just being asmean as possible to each other
the entire fucking year.
Yeah, you're ripping, you'reripping each other all the time.
It's like never nice towardseach other.
It's like, you know, we couldjust be normal friends.
Um, so then things take a turnwhen the guys gather in Austin's
basement for a friendly round ofboxing.

(36:27):
No.
No.
I would if I was Craig, I'd belike, you know, I'll sit the
side.
I don't want to get hit in thehead.

SPEAKER_01 (36:34):
Yeah, I don't like him punched.
And it's just like no, Craig.

SPEAKER_00 (36:40):
And then Craig immediately takes two shots to
the face after saying, Don't hitme in the face.
Then at this point, I'm like,you know what?
Fuck Austin.
Yeah.
It's like, yeah, you hit him inthe nose twice, kind of hard.
Why are you doing that?
Hit him on the sides of hisheads.
That's why you got the thingson.
Why put the things like the headshield on if you're just gonna
keep punching him in the nose?

SPEAKER_01 (37:01):
Yeah, that was pretty fucked up.

SPEAKER_00 (37:02):
Yeah.
And then uh, but then Austin, hegets Austin with two sucker
punches, and now everybody'svery ugly.
And it's just like, dude, he hityou on the sides of the head.
He didn't even hit you in thenose.
I feel like I've been in thissituation before.
Man, when I was little, me andone of my cousins, like, they
had boxing gloves, like forwhatever reason at my aunt's,
and we would just go fuckingham.

(37:24):
But like we're so small and thegloves are so big and never
hurt.
So it's just like we're justessentially slapping each other
with gloves.

SPEAKER_01 (37:31):
Yeah, me and my brother had sparring gear from
when we took taekwondo for uhone semester in school.

SPEAKER_00 (37:37):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (37:38):
It was rad.

SPEAKER_00 (37:39):
Did you ever want to be a boxer?

SPEAKER_01 (37:41):
Not really.
I did like fighting though.
I did, I didn't punching.

SPEAKER_00 (37:44):
I always wanted to be a boxer.
That's why I like the Rockymovies so much.
Yeah.
Even as I think I was like eightwanting to be a boxer.
Hell yeah, dude.
Um then I grew up and realizedYou got a good reach.
You got long arms.
I can't, I'm I won't I don'twant to be get hit in the face.
Especially by those big boys.
Yeah.
Luckily, they I wouldn't be withany big boys.

(38:05):
I'd be with the Walter Whiteclass.
The featherweight or whatever.
Um, so yeah, the other guysbecome uncomfortable around
Craig.
He tries to pass it off as aharmless gag, and then uh does
the most fucking insane thingpossible and begins to chew on a
bar of soap for soap punishment.
All right, guys, I know what todo.
I've been a bad boy.

(38:26):
And then the group's just like,fuck this shit.
We're calling it a night.
And the other guys quickly hateCraig so much.

SPEAKER_01 (38:34):
Cringe.
One guy's like, fuck you,cringe.
Fuck you, you cock.
Yeah, go suck a cock.
Yes.

SPEAKER_00 (38:44):
Yeah, that's yeah, because that's when you just
like go home and you never talkto any of them ever again.
Yep.
And you're just like, I'm justgonna go watch Marvels.
I hear it's totally crazy thistime.
So uh Craig tries to get back intouch with Austin, but he's
getting iced out.
He visits Austin at his job andcauses him to stumble during the
first major broadcast.

(39:04):
Because he goes in and just likemakes a little flub.
And then like a little bitlater, they uh like the news
anchor woman comes up, it'slike, don't fuck up again.

SPEAKER_01 (39:14):
Um his new job.
He's he's blaming it all onCraig.

SPEAKER_00 (39:18):
Yeah, well, it's because he saw him and he's
like, Oh shit, why is he here?
This guy's gonna do somethingfucking insane and ruin this
all.
And he quickly does.
He uh talks about wanting to goto the some sort of restaurant
and have the SEAL team sixlunch, just like calories, and
it's like no one could everfinish it.
But apparently it's the exactmeal they ate whenever after
killing Osama bin Laden.

(39:38):
Oh man, could you imagine howgood that would taste?
Ugh, just like having the bloodof Osama bin Laden on your hands
and then going and Denny's orsomething, yeah.
Waffle house, get the all-star.
Anyone got any more that uhOsama bin Laden blood to put on
this?

SPEAKER_01 (39:55):
Do you just liquefy an American flag and feed it to
me?

SPEAKER_00 (39:58):
Yeah.
And then uh this little kidcomes in up in a golfing act, a
golfing, a golf fake outfit.
Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 (40:09):
Ohfer's outfit.

SPEAKER_00 (40:12):
Why is he wearing that?
It's just so funny.
What what's like the full quote?

SPEAKER_01 (40:16):
Uh uh, you're trying to be a little doll.

SPEAKER_00 (40:20):
Yeah, it's like, oh, are you trying to be a little
doll?
You want a doll?
It's like, oh, you look like alittle doll.
Do you want to go for a walk andsmoke a cigarette, little doll?
It's like what?
Why is that what you thoughtabout saying to this kid?
What?
Like the kid apparent with himis like, let's just get the fuck

(40:42):
out of here.
This is weird.
Um, Austin tells him to leavebecause he's under a lot of
pressure.
Craig finds out Austin has aphone.
He's like, Oh yeah, of course Ihave a fucking phone.
Immediately runs to get a newphone.
Cashier tells him to let himknow if he wants something more
than just a few drinks.
Yeah.
Cause he's like, um Yeah, hewants to hang out with them.

(41:04):
Yeah, he immediately made a heit was it's essentially like a
rebound, right?
He's looking for a rebound.
He kind of knows, like, oh, thisone's on the way out.
So he just the first person thattalks to him and shows a little
bit of interest, but he and he,you know, he's just like,
because they get the same caseand stuff.
He's like, oh, we're like twins,and he's like, I don't know,
cashier's a little nice to him,and he's like, You want to go

(41:26):
get us a couple of drinks?
He's like, I'm 18.
Oh, it's like, you know, it'slike with girls these days,
they're 18 and look 25.
I guess it's the other wayaround with the guys.
And then the cashier's like,okay.
It's like I didn't like thatcomment at all.
Oh, wow.
Um, and then at home, Craig'snew drum set comes in.

(41:47):
Craig brings the set of drumsthat he ordered to Austin's
house so they can jam together.
Austin explicitly tells him thathe no longer wishes to be
friends with Craig.
Friday night was really strangefor me and the guys.
Uh, I don't wish to continuethis friendship at the moment.

SPEAKER_01 (42:04):
That was really funny.
I have the same carrier, thehate the little thing he was
carrying out his drums in.
Oh, really?
We have that same one.
We use it for like soccer gamesand stuff, football games, carry
all our blankets and shit.

SPEAKER_00 (42:16):
Wow, you know, actually, it's kind of weird.
I remember you bringing a drumset to my house and me being
like, don't do this.
Um, and he gets defensive andsays that Austin and his friends
accepted him too fast.
It's like, there's rules.
You can't just accept me likethat.
That's such a thing.
Yeah.
Like if you're a weird guy, andthen all of a sudden it's like,

(42:36):
it's like I'm weird, I getexcited easily, I kind of can't
control what I say and do.
And then you guys justimmediately made me feel like
one of the guys.
And so I acted like myself and Icame off insane.
Yeah.
Like you can't do that to me.
I'm not supposed to can't dothat to people.

SPEAKER_01 (42:52):
Because those aren't the rules, because he the rules
he's talking about are like hisown rules that he's learned to
live by, right?

SPEAKER_00 (42:58):
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like he thinks everybodyshould like kind of be go by his
own rules instead of what thesocial norms are, right?
And it's like he can'tunderstand like the difference
between he doesn't get why he'sso weird compared to like why
everybody else is thinks he'sweird.
I don't know.
That's sad.
And uh during this whole scene,Austin is dressed for a

(43:19):
Renaissance festival in winter.
It's winter and he's gonna go toa Renaissance festival.
We'll find out soon.
There might not have been aRenaissance festival.
So Craig watches Austin'sweather report.
That was a prank from thestudios because there was no
Renaissance Festival.
Also, um so this is I think thesecond or third time I watched

(43:39):
it.
I think it was only second.
Um something I noticed is whenhe's watching that on his phone,
next to Austin is a subway ad.
Oh shit.
Yeah, on his phone.
So I'm like, um now I get why hedoes a subway thing later, and
Austin is a part of it.

SPEAKER_01 (43:57):
It's so weird to bring subway into it.
I know.

SPEAKER_00 (43:59):
It's just like, why?
Um so Craig tries specificallySubway.

SPEAKER_01 (44:04):
I think it's because he saw the ad on his phone.

SPEAKER_00 (44:05):
I know of it while he was watching Austin.
And like his trip because of theway well, we'll get there.

unknown (44:12):
Okay.

SPEAKER_00 (44:12):
So Craig tries to fill the void in his life by
trying to bond with Stevie.
He takes him to look formushrooms like Austin, but the
ones Craig picks makes him sickat the mall.

SPEAKER_01 (44:21):
I have no idea what he's doing.
So they're just sitting at themall.

SPEAKER_00 (44:27):
He's sitting at the mall, and there's a guy on this
little pig thing that drives by,and they're sitting there, and
it's so all awkward.
And he doesn't know what to sayto his son, so he's like just
like randomly, that guy on thepig was flying, immediately
throws up, and it's just uh Idon't know why that line it it

(44:55):
it kind of when I watch it, itlike it makes me laugh to the
point of tearing up.
I'm like, why is it so funny?
God, that pig was flying.
It's you know what I think itis.
I think it's because they letthat because that happens.
It's so fucking weird thatthere's a grown adult on this
pig.
And then like they just kind ofsit there in the situation of

(45:15):
the awkwardness of the two ofthem trying to like hang out.
Then it's just like in your ownmind, you're like, why the fuck
was that pig guy on that pig?
That was so weird.
And then he brings it up, but inthe in a way that's like insane,
like he was going as slow aspossible.
It took like five seconds tocross your screen.
I don't know.
I'm explaining jokes, isn't thatfun?

SPEAKER_01 (45:38):
The thing was freaking weird.

SPEAKER_00 (45:40):
That was so good.

SPEAKER_01 (45:41):
They have that in uh malls now.

SPEAKER_00 (45:42):
Really?
Yeah, if you go to the NationalMalls, there's like there's like
weird little carts that you canride on.
There's like horses, some arelike cars, some are like I think
one's a transformer in theNational One.
That's right.
So also tries to invite his ownco-workers over for a guy's
night out of his place.
Um, because he's like throughoutthe movie, he sees he looks down
on them at the office whilethey're all having smoke breaks.

(46:04):
So he decides to go outside andhave a smoke break.
He's like, uh, everybody havinga smoke break, I see.
Anyone want to white?
Anybody want to white?
He didn't smoke before Austingave him a cigarette.
Yeah, he just wanted to be.
I don't think he actually stillsmokes.
I think he just has them forsocial norms now.
He's like, all right, my house,8 p.m.
Friday, beer's in the fridge,let's go.

(46:25):
People are like, What?
We don't want to go there.
And so they all go and they'reall extremely bored.
Uh Craig pulls out a letteropener or something and says
it's a priceless knight's sword.
But they did have those littleswords, though.
That that is an actual weapon.
They had like tiny, it wasessentially like knives.
Okay.
But they would they would haveit as like, oh, you have your

(46:47):
big sword, and then I guess youcan kind of like get up in
close, and then if you kind ofgot them backed up, you stab
them with your other sword andyour your tiny little sword in
your right hand.
I don't know.
It's it's so funny.
So it's like he's completelyright.
He's just calling it a sword.
So it sounds stupid.
If he said, hey, I got this likelittle like night dagger, it was
like he had a cool story therewith it, but he said he was

(47:09):
like, This is a knight's sword,isn't it cool?
And it's like, just call it aknight's dagger, and it would
have been cool.
Um, but they're all like makingfun of it, and then his
coworkers start talking aboutspoilers for the new Marvel,
which upsets Craig.
So I haven't seen it.
We can't talk about it.
It's a spoiler-free zone.
Although he tries to show offhis drum skills, he aggressively

(47:30):
ends up kicking the other guysout of the house when they call
him the Hulk.
He's like, Oh, are you get thefuck out of here?
I told you not to bring upMarvel.
It's so good.

SPEAKER_01 (47:41):
He's like, I think that's a spoiler.
Yeah, he just called him theHulk.
This Hulk played drums in theMarvel movie.

SPEAKER_00 (47:48):
And it feels like he doesn't really understand that
they're making fun of him.
It feels like he's just reallyupset about the Marvel
situation, not the fact thatthey've made fun of him probably
for 45 straight minutes.
Um, so next day, Craig getsstuck out in the rain because of
his co-workers, and then he getsan assignment with the mayor,
and he's like, Do you wantanybody to work with you?
He's like, No, I'll handle thisone on my own because he knows

(48:08):
they're all assholes.
That's a lot of work.
Though I will say, you know,Craig uh probably kind of
deserves to have some people beassholes too.

SPEAKER_01 (48:16):
But he also had someone create a backup
presentation.
Yeah.
Okay, because he knew that Craigwas gonna fuck it all.

SPEAKER_00 (48:22):
And Craig's was way better than his.

SPEAKER_01 (48:24):
Yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_00 (48:25):
Yeah.
So another piece of mail fromAustin arrives at Craig's home
and he gets a nosebleed.
So he goes to deliver it.
However, he knows that Austinand his wife, Bianca, might
react poorly to his presence, sohe breaks into the house by
going into the window he alreadybroke.
Yeah.
So um he goes in, he's he looksat an apple, and he's like, Huh,

(48:45):
an apple.
Uh he sits on the couch, putshis feet up on the coffee table,
he strums a guitar, um, and thencleans a dish.
Yeah, he does their dishes.
Like, what?
Why?

SPEAKER_01 (48:57):
It's helping out.

SPEAKER_00 (48:57):
And he's so happy he's smiling while doing it and
looking at it like, oh, this ishow they do it.

SPEAKER_01 (49:01):
He's like because he's pretending to be Austin.

SPEAKER_00 (49:03):
Yeah, it's so day in the life.
Um, and he goes up to Austin'shome office and takes out a
golden pistol.
Storms are coming that he kepthidden.
He then takes a work call, andthen like he's taking the call
with the mayor, and then all ofa sudden, like he's hearing
noises, and and fucking Craig'swife is there.

(49:25):
Or Austin's wife is just wastaking a nap.
He's like, I heard someone knockon the back door, and uh so
Craig makes his exit, but heaccidentally takes the gun and
mail back with him.
Uh the wife was there the wholefucking time, man.

SPEAKER_01 (49:37):
Oh, so was that wait, no that wasn't the sword
that he had because he alreadyhad the sword.
Yeah, he already did the swordbit.
It probably was something likethat.

SPEAKER_00 (49:45):
Another and the whole reason he pulled out like
the sword earlier is because hethought it'd be cool because
Austin pulled out all his coolstuff.

SPEAKER_01 (49:52):
Yeah, the axe head.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (49:56):
Yeah.
Um, so Tammy tells Craig thatit's Austin and Bianca's
housewarming party, and Craigpretends to take a call saying
because he doesn't want to go,and then like Tammy starts
getting upset.
Um uh and then Craig pretends totake a call saying that Bianca
has a really bad case ofdiarrhea.

(50:16):
He then weirdly creeps on uhTammy uh while she looks
frustrated into the microwave.
Because you know it's that partwhere he like keeps coming
around the corner, just likestaring down staring at her like
a madman.
Oh yeah, and then she's likeinsane person.
And then he like kind of walksaway again, but then kind of
comes back and stares at hersome more, and then he's like,
Let's go on an adventure.

(50:38):
Oh shit.

SPEAKER_01 (50:39):
Yeah, because you know she's thinking about Devin.

SPEAKER_00 (50:41):
Yeah, and because he he he like he like Tammy wants
to do new stuff, like that'ssomething like they want to do
something new, like get a newcar, yeah.
Uh but then so he's like, Oh,all right, I'll do something
spontaneous.
So Craig invites Tammy to goexploring the sewers like he did
with Austin.
And so they make it into thesewers.
Tammy is not enjoying herselfand is constantly saying she

(51:03):
doesn't want to do it.
So they're walking through urineand PCs and it's like y'all
should wear mutters.
Um so they get into a fight atthe jump where Craig struggled
earlier with Austin uh to make,and he and then all of a sudden
he starts kind of yelling ather.
It's like he says she alwayscomplains about not doing
anything new, and now that theyget have are given the chance to
do it, she's not giving it achance at all, right?

(51:26):
And so he just like screams ather, it's like you want to do
something new?
Well, here's something new, sogive it a shot.
And then she's like, so it'slike go on ahead of me, I'll be
right there.

SPEAKER_01 (51:34):
Yeah, that was an insane thing to do.

SPEAKER_00 (51:36):
Yeah.
Um so it's like, you know,there's a little bit where I get
it, it's like, hey, like I'myou're obviously Tammy, you're
bored in the relationship withme.
You want to do new stuff.
This is something new, and nowyou don't want to even try it
and you're complaining the wholetime.
Get it at that point, but youyelled at her, and obviously
this is a gross thing to dobecause you're walking through
the seer sewers.

(51:56):
But here's where I have issueswith Tammy for real, is that he
does say, like, go all go aheadof me a little bit and I'll be
right there.
And then she walks.
Does she just keep walking inthe dark?
What the hell is she doing?
Yeah, I know.
Just sit there and wait for him.
Um, she's she's upset.
She goes in while he tries tomake the jump and loses his
flashlight.
Before they make it to the cityhall, Craig loses sight of Tammy

(52:17):
and she is seemingly disappears.
Like, why go that far?
I mean, to the point where shecan't even hear you.
Yeah, that's insane.
Why did she walk like that?
She was pissed.
Yeah.
Yeah, you do really weird thingswhen you're mad.
Yeah.
It's like, you know what?
I don't care if I die.
I'm just gonna go this way.

SPEAKER_01 (52:32):
Pent up.

SPEAKER_00 (52:33):
Yeah.
So um, yeah, Craig goes backhome.
Um back at home, the police goto Craig's house since Austin
knows that he broke into hishouse earlier.
Uh because Austin keeps goingup.
I know you fucking broke into myhouse.
It's so weird.
Oh, I guess because they uh theyum used it to sniff to see where

(52:56):
it led.
You don't bring a dog forsomething like that.
He's like, Yeah, this dog uh ledus straight to here.
He's like, so the same personprobably broke into my house.
He's like, no.
And then every time Austin getsaggressive and comes forward,
it's like, hold him back.
I paid good tax dollars for youto hold him back.
Do your job, you pigs.
And he calls them pigs becauseAustin called him pigs once.

(53:18):
Um, and then all of a sudden hebrings up the uh fact that Tammy
has disappeared in the sewers.
And then uh, so Craig leads thepolice to the sewers and let it
slip that he and Austin weretrespassing to City Hall, and
they're like, trespassing, huh?
This is illegal.
And it's like, hey, there's amissing person here who cares
about this, right?

SPEAKER_01 (53:37):
And so he's also burying himself constantly.

SPEAKER_00 (53:40):
Yeah, and then like they're starting to scream at
each other, and he startscalling uh they're got they
ended up arresting him.
It's like, he caught you fuckingpigs, arrest him, not me.
Just screaming.
It's so good.
So the two are gelled for thenight.
We see uh Craig watching I pee,and there's urine all over the

(54:01):
floor.
Uh Austin is freaking out onCraig.
He slips and accidentally slipsin pee and accidentally reveals
that he wears a toupee.
Falls off.
He's like, is it on?
Is it on okay?
And like Craig can't even lookat him.
He's like, yeah.
It's just like he like exposedhimself too.
He's like, I can't I can't look.
Can't look.

(54:21):
It's so good.
Just uh he puts like the perfectface on for that.
It's so funny.
Um and he begs Craig not to letanybody know because it could
easily seriously affect hiscareer.
Um and then the two are soon letout on bail.
Uh Craig gets home.
Steven had a girl stay thenight.
You replaced your motheralready, huh?

SPEAKER_02 (54:42):
Yikes!

SPEAKER_01 (54:43):
He's like, I'm just gonna congratulations.

SPEAKER_00 (54:45):
Yeah.
So Steven is mad that Craig isstill going to work instead of
looking for her.
It's just like insane thatyou're not just gonna be like,
hey, I can't do the pitch.
I'm sorry.
Uh have someone else do my pitchfor me.
I have to like sit here and waitfor my wife to get home.

(55:06):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (55:07):
And everybody knows his wife is missing because he
gets mad at work.
It's like, don't worry abouthim, his wife's missing.
Yeah.
Like he should have said, takethe day off.

SPEAKER_00 (55:15):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (55:16):
We got to do it.
Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 (55:17):
It's like, you're not coming in.
I'm sorry.
You're already in psychopath,okay?
Um, Craig looks at a flower thatreminds him of Tammy, he falls
to the floor crying, and it'slike, oh, there is a human being
in this man.
Um, but he's very narcissistic,so it's like the first time we
see him not really being supernarcissistic.

SPEAKER_01 (55:35):
And that's why his nose bleeds.

SPEAKER_00 (55:37):
Yeah.
So Craig returns to work wherehe's set to give a pitch to
Mayor Seth Nichols.
Um, and his pitch is meet yournext new best bestie.
Um when which was a good idea.
I actually thought it was alegit, like good idea.
It's like, oh yeah, you can goand you can like talk to the
mayor easily and it's like voiceyour concerns and you can have

(55:58):
chats with him.
It's like a good idea.
You know, it's stupid, andprobably no one would probably
actually do it, and it wouldjust be a bunch of interns
riding you back.
Yeah.
But you know, it's a good ideafor a but then like one of the
assholes that uh he works with,um, but does his like superhero
pitch.
It's like you're a superhero,and it's like the whole Marvel
thing that's been letting islike, oh, it's this, it's this

(56:21):
cultural thing that everybodyloves, and it's like everybody
responds to superheroes.
Um, so uh yeah, and because uhNichols really likes his pick
pick, uh Craig flies off thehandle and rants towards the
mayor, leading him to get fired.
Coward big fuck! I'm gonna beatthe shit out of you.
Like they pick him up.

(56:41):
Don't pick me up.
This is embarrassing.
Watch out for my chair! Watchout for my chair, don't pick my
chair.
The water spills, you spilledwater, you spilled water.
It's gonna be a nightmare for meto edit.
I'm just gonna leave it to soundterrible.
I don't care.
Ah, I love that shit.
What he's just acting insane,and everything that's happening

(57:03):
around him, he just yells about.

SPEAKER_01 (57:04):
Because he can't take any responsibility for us.

SPEAKER_00 (57:08):
He does that like in a lot of his like his skits, and
it's so good.
Um, so but uh before he leavesthe office, he gets a phone call
to let him know that Tammy hasbeen found and returned home
alive but a bit distressed.
Like, uh, where the fuck was shethough?
Right?

SPEAKER_01 (57:25):
Yeah.
The sewer system must be veryelaborate.

SPEAKER_00 (57:28):
Yeah.
And he like goes there, Steviegives her like some tea, and he
sits down.
He's like, Oh, what type of teadid he give you?
It's like, what?
And then she's like, I'm gonnago change.
And it's like, you shouldprobably shower.
I don't see why you didn'tshower already.

SPEAKER_01 (57:42):
Go get ready for a party we're having tomorrow.

SPEAKER_00 (57:44):
Yeah, and it's like, how did you already immediately
know about this party?

SPEAKER_01 (57:47):
She's the one who's throwing.

SPEAKER_00 (57:49):
Yes.
So they have a welcome homeparty for Tammy at their house,
which is attended by many oftheir close friends, including
Austin, and Bianca.
Bianca.
Bianca.
All right, yeah.
So um I just wanted to make sureI get to the quote.
Uh so then he's in uh Craig's inhis uh garage, he's with his

(58:10):
drums, and then one of the grassberates Craig for supposedly
abandoning his wife and notdoing enough to get her back.
Probably the best part of thewhole movie.
Because they come, and he'slike, hey man, I'm sorry, is
there a bathroom around?
It's like, hey man, you're thehusband, right?
Yeah, yeah, I'm Craig Waterman.
This is my house.
Cool, cool.
The bathroom's right there.
Oh, awesome.
Thanks.
Yeah, dude, cool drums, man.
Oh yeah, thanks.

(58:31):
They're fucking awesome.
You don't really see a lot ofgreen things.
It's from the 70s, that's a cooldesk cave.
Lots of good music.
Ha ha ha.
Absolutely, yeah.
Yeah, but we uh but we cameback, right?
Hey, I gotta ask you, man, howdoes it feel?
I would have Tammy back.
It's honestly uh an incredibleleaf.
Yeah, how does it feel to ditchyour wife?
You can't use my fucking toilet!You know what I would do?

(58:53):
I would look at your wife andsay, oh my god, I would love
just to even be a non-sexualpartner with her.
You know what I mean?
Like in business or somethinglike that.
I would never say, hey, comeinto the sewer so I can fucking
kill you.
I didn't try to kill her in thesewer.
It was an adventure.
You should be dead.
You shouldn't be alive.
You don't know me.
Get the fuck out of here.

(59:14):
Hey, hey, don't do that.
Fuck you, you fucking piece ofshit.
And she's so beautiful.
Get the fuck out of my garage.
Fuck you, fuck you, Saka.
Who are you?
It's uh it's it's maybe like thebest like two minutes in film
history, right?
So good.

SPEAKER_01 (59:32):
It's ridiculous.
Why does everyone think that hetried to kill her?

SPEAKER_00 (59:37):
Because why would you take anybody to the sewer?
And then, like, how did y'allget separated?
Why is this happening?
I'm sure he could have explainedit.
It's like, I don't know.
We had a fight, she walked off,and for some reason, with no
light, just kept walking and didnot turn around once.
Yeah, that's not him.
Yeah.
It's not his fault.
And I yelled at for her, and youdidn't seem to be able to hear
me, but I guess she walked amile away.

(59:58):
I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 (59:58):
Yeah.
It took him a long time.
To get up on the thing.

SPEAKER_00 (01:00:01):
Yeah.
So uh Craig tries to give him anaspiring toast, but he is one
upped by Devin and calls her thewrong last name.
His last name?
Yeah.
And later the guy that insultedhim comes up.
Uh Craig hates that peoplearen't using the chairs.
He's like, Everybody, you gottaget up on the chair.
He tries to start a parade forher, but uh he does it.

(01:00:22):
And then we hear um the guy thatwas yelling at Craig earlier,
I'm gonna leave you with this.
We should still be inAfghanistan.
I don't know why we pulled outthe way we did.
And then people start cheering.

SPEAKER_01 (01:00:34):
So he does live with some insane people.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:00:37):
And uh when Devin's doing his speech, he walks over
next to Tammy and puts his armaround her.
She kind of leans his head.
But then even Stevie kind ofgoes and hugs them both, and
it's like uh there are no socialnorms in this life, in this
movie.
So Austin lets Tammy on theweather, uh Austin lets Tammy on

(01:00:58):
the weather with him, and thenhe sh she shows him how to
prepare flowers.
Um, I'm assuming it's kind oflike in a like uh like, oh, I'm
so glad you made it.
Hey, come be on my show typething.

SPEAKER_01 (01:01:10):
Yeah, because she's kind of a local star.

SPEAKER_00 (01:01:12):
Yeah, she's a local celebrity.
Um Craig Craig asks Steven if hewants to go to the bar, but he's
you know, he's only 15 or 16.
He gives Steven his drums.
Austin compliments how Tammysees the world and he gets
sentimental and makes areservation for dinner, but
Tammy has plans.
Tammy then tells Craig that shehad an orgasm alone in the dark

(01:01:33):
while in the sewers.
She then tells Craig that she'sgoing to move into Devin's pool
house, more like his house.
Yeah.
It's just like just had just wassitting there in the dark and
had an orgasm.

SPEAKER_01 (01:01:44):
She's just the thought of being away from
Craig, I think.

SPEAKER_00 (01:01:49):
I think it was just like for a moment she was in the
dark alone, had peace, andwasn't thinking about anything,
and that's probably Yeah, somerelief.
Just gave her some relief.
Because, you know, like the likethe whole time we you know,
which is something that can kindof get pretty quickly lost in
this movie, is the fact thatlike she just got was cancer
free.
So it's like, you know, her lifeis from her perspective, she's

(01:02:12):
also kind of going through amidlife crisis.
Like, fuck, I'm with this weirdnarcissist, this fucking insane
guy.
And it's like I have this honkyfirefighter that really likes
me, and maybe I should give thisa give this a try.
So it's like I understand likeeverything she's doing.
She's like, Man, I survivedcancer, and I'm just gonna live
the rest of my life with thisCraig asshole, right?

SPEAKER_01 (01:02:35):
Yeah, she's looking differently at everything.

SPEAKER_00 (01:02:38):
Yeah.
Um, so Tan uh already said that.
So at a low point, Craig visitsTony, the uh employee at the at
the uh phone company, um, thatpromised Craig something
stronger than booze the lasttime he visits.
So Craig pays a hundred dollarsto lick a toad and go on what
Tony claims to be alife-changing psychedelic trip.

(01:02:58):
Um and then he's like, he goes,like, all right, I gotta try
something.
Like anything at this point willdo.
He pulls out his money, he'slike, I'm sorry, my money smells
bad.
It's like the bank, the bankgave it to me like this, and it
smells really bad.
And then uh, so yeah, then he hepulls out the frog and he has

(01:03:19):
it, he's like, Oh, it looks likeyou're gonna pop them.
Don't pop them.
Then he takes a lick, and Tony'slike, that was a really big
lick.
He's like, Oh god, it was toobig.
Am I gonna freak out?
And Tony's like, All right, uh,he's gonna, I'm gonna leave you.
I gotta go get some Rollos and aRed Bull.
It's like you can't stay withme?
No, man, it's my lunch break.
It's like you're gonna have agreat trip, though.

(01:03:40):
I love you.

SPEAKER_01 (01:03:42):
No, I do some work with Red Bull.
They're really mean to me.

unknown (01:03:45):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:03:51):
It's that so work with Red Bull.
They're really mean to me.
It's so stupid.
Why?
Why is it the way he says thingsis just so funny?
Oh, but yeah, then uh Tony'sleaving.
It's like, all right, uh,thanks, Toad Boy.
It's T-Boy.
I love you, T-Boy.

(01:04:13):
Um, so after leaving Craig alonein this trip, all Craig does is
see himself going to order asandwich at Subway while an
older Austin is working there.
Craig finds himself annoyed anddisappointed.
Um, I do want to say, uh uhthere is a really great like
filmmaking trick here though,right?
Where because we just see Austinor Craig staring at the ceiling,

(01:04:36):
yeah, looking at the um uh firealarm, right?
That's what it looked like.
Sure.
And then like so we go fromlooking at him, looking at the
ceiling, then going to his pointof view, and then he walks into
frame and it's like hell yeah.
And then he walks into a subwayand it's like a great little
transition.
It's like, hell yeah, there's nomaking going on here.

SPEAKER_01 (01:04:57):
So it's so weird that they specifically like
subway's the lamest sandwich.

SPEAKER_00 (01:05:01):
I know I think that's why they're like, what's
the most taupe subway orsandwich place you could go to?
Oh, subway where it's like halfthe food's not even real food.
Um, so and then he wakes up andhe's like, Man, so were you in
there for four to five months?
He's like, No, I was in therefor like a fucking minute.
It's like, did you see somethingcrazy?

(01:05:22):
He's like, No, ordered asandwich.
He's like, that frog ripped meoff.
That makes me think that littleasshole, little fucker.

SPEAKER_01 (01:05:30):
It makes me think that the the toad was secreting
like DMT.
Yeah.
Because those trips are supershort but intense.

SPEAKER_00 (01:05:37):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (01:05:37):
Well, I mean, there is like a there is like a frog
that's known to like if you lickit, or I or it's like a I don't
know if it's like a real thing,but no, it is a real thing, I'm
pretty sure.
But I think maybe differentfrogs do different things.
Yeah, must be, I don't know.
Because there's the reallycolorful ones that come from
like the rainforest that kind ofmake you trip pretty hard.

SPEAKER_00 (01:05:58):
Man.

SPEAKER_01 (01:05:58):
And then there's this one, so it makes me think
it's something different.

SPEAKER_00 (01:06:01):
You know what, you know what really sucks though?
We just did two movies wherepeople put a frog on some sort
of aspect of their mouth.
And it's the grossest fuckingshit because of like a frog's
ass.
I've I've had a frog in mymouth, and it's like the worst
possible thing.
You trip balls.
That frog ripped me off.
Hey, I actually did a littlework for Red Bull.
They were so mean to me.
It's just so funny.

(01:06:22):
I'm just literally going throughthe quotes right now.
That gone, that pig was flying.
What the hell?
Sorry, I'll get back to theplot.
I could just read, I could justread the script to this and just
laugh out loud.
All right, so now an emptyhouse.
Literally like nothing in thehouse.
Everything was hers.
It's almost like no one everlived there.

(01:06:44):
And part of me makes me thinkmaybe he didn't have a family.
But now an empty house.
Craig tries to get his life backtogether first by taking up a
job as a parking officer andgives him a thing, and the guy's
like, hey, what the fuck?
And he's like, People needrules.
He eats the bin Laden meal, andhe's like, nobody could ever
fucking eat this much food.

SPEAKER_01 (01:07:03):
This is too much food.
Yeah, but he made friends withthat guy.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:07:08):
Yeah.
So he starts to reconnect withStevie.
You're going to grow up to be abeautiful old guy, Craig.
Thank you, Steven.
I hope you're serious aboutthat.
I was going to do that line forthe intro.
So the family goes, Oh shit,maybe this is actually my
favorite part of the movie.
Because this is it's so classicTim Robinson.

(01:07:28):
It's great.
Uh so the family goes out fordinner and appears to be having
a good time.
Uh Stevie's like, Y'all didn'ttell him it was my birthday,
right?
Fucking hate that shit.
Um, and they're having a goodtime until a guy bumps into
Tammy with his chair and hemakes the guy apologize.
And the guy actually does.
And uh he also reveals that hebought a van and then like
they're kind of sitting and likeTammy's saying something nice,

(01:07:50):
and he's like, We gotta get thefuck.
We gotta get the fuck out ofhere.
What was I thinking?
We gotta go.

SPEAKER_01 (01:07:57):
But he is kind of acting normal for a change.

SPEAKER_00 (01:08:00):
It was just like you know, he acted heroic, he did
the heroic thing that he's beenthinking about, but then like as
soon as he does it, he's like,Holy fucking shit.
That's gonna kill me.
We gotta go.
Oh, crack me up.
I think that was probably thehardest I laughed when I first
watched it.
All right, so on the way homefor dinner, Craig sees the
yellow car in Austin's drivewayand sees that he's having

(01:08:22):
another guy's night.
They get home and everythingseems to be going well.
Tammy thanks him for the van.
He says he spent his whole lifedoing fucking nothing, and now
he's not.
Then uh Tammy Which I feel likeis a lot of the point of like
his whole character is that he'she's he feels empty, he hasn't
been doing anything.
Tammy then comes on to himsaying he looks like he's been

(01:08:43):
working out.
It's like, no, I've been walkinga lot.
Everybody screams at me,everybody hates me because he's
a police, because he just leavestickets on people's stuff.
So he's doing a lot of likerunning away, I'm assuming.
So wherever he works, everybodyhates him.
It might be your fault, Craig.
Yeah, maybe everyone is a dick.

(01:09:03):
Yeah.
Uh yeah, in real life, in reallife, yeah.
Everyone's a dick.
Just saying, whenever I go towork, it's like, man,
everybody's such a narcissist.
So Craig has to, I mean, I amtoo, but you know, everybody is.
So Craig has to take the van toget candles for Steven's
birthday and stares at theyellow corvette, but he drives

(01:09:24):
off and smiling.
Um, but he's crazy and in a fitof jealousy.
Craig drives Tammy's van over tothe help himself.
He couldn't because he drivesoff like everything's normal,
and then we kind of hear likethe car driving, but it almost
sounds like it's turning around.
And then when he pulls intoframe, just like metal music
starts or punk music startsplaying.
The soundtrack is amazing inthis.

(01:09:46):
The the use of music isfantastic in this movie, and I
wish I put more in my notes tosay this music is great.
Um, but then he wrecks the vanafter driving over a speed bount
that he previously made a bigfuss over.
This is like, no, you were backon track.
You had your wife back, your sonback.
You got her the van.

(01:10:06):
You're doing all right at yourjob.
You could probably find a betterone later.
And maybe if you acted normal,Austin would come back.

SPEAKER_01 (01:10:13):
Just gotta fuck it up somehow.

SPEAKER_00 (01:10:14):
Just be like, Tammy, try to convince him just to come
over.
We'll hang out and I'll benormal.
But he can't.
He can't be normal.
Nope.
So Craig crashes the guy's nightand makes everyone uncomfortable
yet again.
I love it because he just walksinto the back door, walks
straight in, gets a beer, andhe's like, well, the night just
started.
I'm already double fisted.
And then um, and theneverybody's like, all right, you

(01:10:35):
gotta go, you gotta go.
And then he's like, Oh, Garrett,I've been thinking about you and
your little busty daughters.
People are so cruel.
What's up with people?
And then he apologizes toeveryone.
They're still trying to get themout.
And then he's just I do onestrange thing, and then I'm
toast.
So fucking true, though.
You get one impression with thegroup of guys.

(01:10:56):
He escalates things, uh, andthen he starts to sing my boo.
Or wait, no, he escalates thingsby pulling out the gun that he
swiped from Austin's the otherday.
Ask me something.
Ask me anything.
It's like, let's play who wouldyou rather?
And then you ask him something,and then he's trying to think.
He's like, I'm too nervous.
And then like there's like, whois that guy?

(01:11:18):
And the guy's like, I'm Jimp.
It's like, what?
Jim?
It's like, no, it's like Jumpwith an eye.
Who the fuck is called Jim?
Jim!

SPEAKER_01 (01:11:28):
He's already been replaced by his name.

SPEAKER_00 (01:11:33):
Something so stupid.
Just replacing a I or a you withan eye is so funny.
Jimp.
But then he apologizes again andthen starts to sing my boo in
what I thought was super cringyearlier.
Even worse now.
Oh, even worse.
When you got a gun.

(01:11:53):
Yeah.
And then Austin tries uh to getthe gun away from him by saying,
Hey, come on, let's uh let's goout to my car.
Here, I'll show you my car.
Uh, but then Austin tries forthe gun.
Uh, but in the struggle, um,Craig fires the gun off, and
then like everybody ducks to theground, and then Austin's toupee
falls off.
Craig then orders everyone toget on the ground while Austin

(01:12:15):
puts his hair back on tomaintain the secret.
And the police show up is like,who fucking called the police?
Because he's like, All right,guys, I'm gonna go.
Then the police show up andCraig runs through the door
again.
And then we cut to Austin, walkshim out in his arm, Craig
smiling.
They arrest Craig, and thenwhile in the back of his car,

(01:12:36):
he's staring at Austin, Craigimagines that the night went off
without a hitch.
Yep.

SPEAKER_01 (01:12:40):
And it's like he became friends with everyone,
everything was great.

SPEAKER_00 (01:12:44):
Yeah.
And then and that he was back inthe friend group.
Austin turns to look at Craigand gives him a wink, which
makes Craig smile.

SPEAKER_01 (01:12:51):
He is an enabler.
Yeah, he really is.

SPEAKER_00 (01:12:55):
I think that Austin just really loved the fact that
someone was so obsessed withhim.
Because I think that's what uhCraig found so like loving about
him.
It's like, shit, this guy's anarcissist just like me.
Oh they had the same exact likeme, me, me, me type of thing.
And so they are both giving eachother the attention that they

(01:13:17):
crave so much.
And then even though this insanething happened, he's like, Man,
this guy loves me so much.
He literally would have shot oneof my friends so I could put my
toupee on.
That's how good of a person Iam.

SPEAKER_01 (01:13:27):
Yeah, you gotta keep him just, you know, maybe not
close, but yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:13:31):
And you know what?
He might come back.
So don't want to burn thatbridge.
Yeah, and it's like hopefullyhe's just gonna be in jail
forever.
Um, but the movie does a thingthat I really like.
Um, because while I was inschool, I kind of did this
little technique a lot where,you know, it's something like
something's happening on screen,we see it, but then there's like
the flashback almost where allof a sudden we just cut without

(01:13:53):
warning to like things goodhappening.
Yeah.
And I love that shit.
I did that a lot of my ownstuff, and it's fantastic.
Those are like his fantasies,right?
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (01:14:03):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (01:14:03):
Um saving the day, like hitting a whole run, maybe.

SPEAKER_03 (01:14:07):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (01:14:08):
That's friendship.
Being friends.
That's when friendship is.
Having a normal friend group ishis big moment.

SPEAKER_00 (01:14:19):
So Jason, what's the point of friendship?
The movie and actual friendship.

SPEAKER_01 (01:14:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uh yeah, I think it is.
People aren't always who theywho you think they are.

SPEAKER_02 (01:14:35):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:14:37):
I said it was like kind of like um it's a movie
about like midlife crisis.
Yeah.
And making friends in your adultlife.
Time in your life.
It's about like the emptinessyou feel, like uh like it's
about the like time in your lifewhen you're comfortable and
everything's nice, but you'relike, you get the idea that you
need more.
It's like shit.
Like I I have this house, I havethis wife, I have this son.

(01:15:00):
I get to watch the new Marvelmovies that are totally nuts.
But then it's just like you'rejust sitting on a recliner just
looking at your phone.
And then something new comes inyour life, and it's so exciting.
Yeah, you want to take it allin.
It's like, holy shit, this is socrazy.
I hope I don't act like aninsane person.
You know, it's um, but then likeuh yeah, then you dip your toe

(01:15:23):
into it and something new, andit's hard and awkward and
anxiety ridden that you justflip your shit.

SPEAKER_01 (01:15:28):
Yeah, they got sucked in real hard.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:15:30):
And also, I think it's a movie about like, you
know, you should probably figureout if you're a narcissist or
not and go to therapy.
But yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (01:15:37):
Or go to therapy.

SPEAKER_00 (01:15:40):
All right, cool.
So that's the point.
So now, Jason, we're gonna doour next category, the good, the
bad, the ugly, the fine.
It's where we discuss somethinggood about the film, a scene, uh
acting, whatever.
The bad something we didn'tlike, the ugly something that
aged didn't age well, the finesomething that did age well.
What do you got for the good?

SPEAKER_01 (01:15:57):
I want to say it felt very relatable.
Yeah.
Weirdly.
Weirdly relatable for me.
It's kind of crazy how.
It's kind of crazy how theycapture these these feelings or
like these situations that andlike the way they people are
reacting.
Yeah.
I feel like I've been theremyself.

SPEAKER_00 (01:16:20):
With this like the most insane possible character,
we're able to see things fromour own life in the movie, and
it's weird.

SPEAKER_01 (01:16:26):
It is so weird, but that's what I think is really
great about it.

SPEAKER_00 (01:16:29):
Yeah.
Um for the good, I put obviouslyTimothy Robbins, uh Robinson.
He's so freaking good.
That's exactly how I put it mynotes.
No, it's just uh I love thatguy.
I think he might be the funniestperson on earth right now in my
life.
And um shoot.
Like if if they could just likecompress him down into like a

(01:16:52):
liquid and then put into asyringe and then just put it
straight into my veins.
That's what I want.
My wife would be like, thatmeans you if you that means you
start acting like him, I willkill you.
Alright, um, and for the bad, Iput people who don't like Tim
Robbins.
Listen.
Oh yeah, I could see that.

(01:17:12):
You got anything for the bad?

SPEAKER_01 (01:17:14):
Uh not no not really.
Maybe feel bad sometimes.
Yeah, but I don't think there'sanything bad about the movie.

SPEAKER_00 (01:17:22):
Um for the ugly, I put people who don't like Tim
Robinson.

SPEAKER_01 (01:17:25):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:17:28):
There's a theme here.

SPEAKER_01 (01:17:29):
Similar, so I can see.
I can see that.
Uh you got anything that that'sugly?
It just recently came out.
It sucks when you know friendsbreak up.
It really sucks.
It does.
I think it's necessary though.
Yeah, I mean it's gonna happeneventually.

SPEAKER_00 (01:17:45):
Especially, I mean, people just grow and just become
different people.
But especially in your 20s.
That's just that's what your 20sare for.
You grow you become threedifferent people in your 20s.

SPEAKER_01 (01:17:56):
Yeah, but what sucks, um, because I was in a
situation with my two two bestfriends, um, they both started
being a dick specifically to me.
And that's how I got pushed out.
I mean, I didn't do it.
That's why I feel like TimRobinson sometimes.
Yeah, because they like kind ofteamed up and to make me feel

(01:18:17):
like shit, and it sucked reallybad, like it felt betrayed, you
know what I mean?
And that sticks with you.

SPEAKER_03 (01:18:23):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (01:18:23):
And I feel like Tim Robinson has found a way to make
that funny.
Yeah.
It's horrible, but great.
That at the same time.

SPEAKER_00 (01:18:30):
That was kind of like my role, I feel like, in
not necessarily friendships,like I always was kind of the
punching bag.
Sure.
Yeah.
Like usually I was a littleyounger, you know, like people
would like poke fun of me.
As I got older, I got smarterand wittier.
And then if I did it back, likepeople would be like, That's
that's me.
Oh, cruel.
You can't say things like that.
And it's just like, y'all havesaid worse to me.

(01:18:52):
Yes.
Um, and then like, even if liketwo, like two of my friends we
get together and that like oneof them didn't even like the
other one.
But like, if we all three hungout, I they were able to relate
by like making fun of me a lot.
And I'm like, y'all fuckingsucks.
It's like why do I always getbecome the butt of the jokes?
Then I don't know.
Dicks.
But then like I kind of grewpast that, and now I'm the one

(01:19:13):
that makes fun of everybodyreally well.
But I do it in like a nice way,like I do it with like a huge
smile on my face.
People are like, You're such anyou're so mean, but like, why
you're so fun.
Like, I like you though.
It's like a cat, like mean andfluffy.
So for something that aged well,I put people who like Tim
Robinson.
Just kidding, I didn't.
I put like the what aged wellabout this is kind of how dark

(01:19:35):
and awkward this movie is.
Like the darkness and like thesadness and emptiness it made me
feel is what elevated this moviefrom just like a regular, like
an Anchorman comedy to a likeshit.
This is a movie that I think Icould always come back to
because it makes me feel morethan like even when the jokes
are gonna get old, like thefeeling it makes me have is not

(01:19:56):
ever gonna get old.
Versus like when we watchedAnchorman, you know, we watched
it and we're like, I didn'treally laugh that much.
Because you know.
Yeah, I used to, but like, youknow, when you don't laugh at a
comedy like that that much, it'slike not as fun.

SPEAKER_01 (01:20:08):
You've grown.

SPEAKER_00 (01:20:09):
But something with friendship is like I'll probably
never get tired of Tim Robinson,but um that the feelings in
between the comedy will makethis movie last for me.
Yeah, for sure.
So that's my fine.
That's your fine.
No, that I like yours as prettywell.
I'm just gonna take it.
Okay, take mine.
All right.
We're gonna hit up our nextcategory.

(01:20:30):
It's double feature.
It's where we recommend a moviealongside this movie.
What do you have, Jason?

SPEAKER_01 (01:20:37):
Just watch more Tim Robinson shows.
Like I want to go back and likewatch the chair company.
Yeah, I've only watched it allof it.

SPEAKER_00 (01:20:44):
There's three episodes out right now as a
recording, but um, I've onlywatched the first episode.
It's because we're kind of likein the horror movie because it's
still it's technically not HallHalloween's not over yet for us,
so as a recording.
But uh yeah, I'm still into it.

SPEAKER_01 (01:20:59):
Uh yeah, I will say I watched the I only watched the
substance and it was reallycool.
Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:21:04):
Ooh, you should watch hard eyes.
Just in terms of like this isgonna be so stupid because this
is after Halloween, but it wasreally fun.
It's like a romantic comedy, butif there's a serial killer in
the middle of it, and it's sofucking funny and getting it.
Sounds cool.
And like by the end of it, I waslike, I kind of really like this
couple.
Um, my double feature is PunchDrunk Love.

(01:21:25):
Nice.
It's the Paul Thomas Andersonmovie starring Adam Sandler.
Uh socially frustrated BarryEgan calls a phone sex line to
curb his loneliness.
Little does he know it will landhim in deep trouble and will
jeopardize his uh burgeoningromance with a mysterious Lena.
That's one of the only AdamSandler movies I've never seen.
You should watch it, it's reallygood.

(01:21:46):
I can let you borrow it.
I got it on uh Blu-ray.
It's very similar.
It's it's funny, but it's not asfunny as friendship.
But it's just one of thosethings where it's like this guy,
it's like, well, you fuckingstop.
Stop, dude.
Just uh something great.
I feel like there the parallelsbetween punch truck love and

(01:22:08):
friendship is great, except thisis more of a romantic comedy
versus the other one is like aromantic comedy between bros.
Nice.
Um, but yeah, I think they'relike because after I finished, I
was like, what would go wellwith this?
And then I was looking at mymovies and like punch truck
love.
It's like the perfect fuckingmovie.
Yeah, that's cool.
All right.
That's it, man.
We did friendship.
