Ep 159 | Knight Rider: "Trust Doesn't Rust"

"It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity" - Albert Einstein 

It's time for the Boob Tube Boys to talk about another Knight Rider episode where two cars fight each other. It's the same cars as the last time: one of them's a boring dork, the other one whoops ass

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Welcome to Boobtoo Boys, or should I say Boobtoo Boys
Rewind Edition Going Backwards. I'm Brian Vaughan. I'm one of
the hosts of this podcast. There are two more of them.
Van Lee is one of them. He made rewinding noises.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
I have just been activated from my long slumber and
I wish to learn how to be a podcaster.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Okay, well, it'll all depend on your programming. Spencer Hendricks,
how is your programming?

Speaker 3 (00:33):
That's great, it's top notch. I did not make any
noises because I didn't know how to make a rewind
noise right now? Rearia beautiful, yep, I don't know how
that's a Rearine noise.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
I mean you are our sound effect guy. You're the
one who does all the mouth sound.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
I mean, I will say when I try, it is
usually really funny because it's terrible and I just don't
do sound effects.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Can I tell you one of Katie's favorite moments in
the history of the.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Boy laughing right now? Yes? Please do?

Speaker 2 (00:59):
The girl? What do I call her?

Speaker 3 (01:00):
My girlfriend?

Speaker 2 (01:01):
The girlfriend Katie? Yeah, so she listened to I believe
it was one of our Simpsons episodes, Simpson's Week, and
I think it was my episode A Millhouse Divided and
there was something about a saxophone and you were going
on a rant spencer and you made a saxophone noise,
and this is what you did. You said a saxophone
murder murderer as your saxophone noise like an airhorn. Literally

(01:25):
rewound and listen to that like ten straight times, laughing hysterically.
She loved it.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
You never know when you're gonna resonate with your audience
on her boob too. Boys, I just want to add
before you continue with your show brand. I'm just here
to listen about Car.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
That's all we're here to do, all any of us
are here to do because bTB rewind is a thing
we're doing where we revisit shows we've covered in the past.
I'm up first in this project and I've chosen night Writer.
Really though, I just chose this specific episode of Night Writer,
which is called Trust Doesn't Rust from nineteen eighty two.
It's from season one, and most importantly it's about Car,

(02:01):
the evil car to Kit's little Goody two shoes car
that is driving around Solvent crimes with David Hasselhoff.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Night automated roving robot right now what does kit again
caress totally.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, something like that. We would not be coming back
to the show if it weren't for a car. I
can say that pretty firmly.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
No, I mean we enjoyed it.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
There were some parts that were great, yeah, like, but
we weren't we were coming back, weren't for this.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Like there's a second Car episode, which immediately made us go, wow,
we got to see that at some point. There is
no second Barth episode, despite the fact that there should
be a second Barth episode.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
And Hasselhoff can't hold the show up on his own.
He needs a talking car, a talking drunk violent cop,
or an eel or an eel. Well, you're bringing it
to my point. I believe older Hasselhoff holds the screen
much better. Agreed, there's a certain amount of dad charm.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
He's learned a few ticks by then. Right now, in
these early episodes of Night Writer, he doesn't have to
do anything but just sit there and look pray. That's
all he does. He doesn't really have.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Good that's all he has to do because that's all
he does.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Later he would learn how to fail at drunkenly eating
the cheeseburger and get filmed by his daughter, but a
many years that.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
He got really good at kind of nodding at people
wearing red shorts.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Sure, sure, I mean that's a skill we all develop
as we age. Now I will give this isn't necessarily
a spoiler, but Spencer hasn't revealed his show, which will
be coming up next.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
It involves a brass instrument.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
It does. His show, though, actually aired about the same
time that our Night Writer episodes aired. As far as
the Boop two Boys catalog, they came out really close
to one another. So I think it's interesting that we're
really taking a step back to a particular period in time.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
I guess maybe we were just on fire when we
picked our episodes back then, because we're just going right
back to that well.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
And it's two big hunks of things that start with
a cave.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah. Over two years ago is when we first talked
about Night Writer in episodes fifty seven and fifty eight.
Car was in fifty eight, so it's been a while.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Nineteen fifty eight, back when we was podcasting in the fifties.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Boom two Boys Hall of Fame member Car that's right, we.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Have the podcast didn't complain back then podcasts just went
to work and respected their mother and father and went
to church every Sunday.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Now women weren't allowed to podcast as it should be.
You know, to vote, you needed to be a land
owning podcast. Some podcasts only get two thirds of a vote.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
We're gonna rise. This is very fucked up.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Later on, well, no, some people really yearn for that era.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Ok, hey, let me backtrack for a while. We're gonna
realize it's really fucked up, and then a big wat
of people are gonna say, wait a second, what if
evil is good? And then hopefully we found our way out.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
You've got your real Dave Baker from Forest and Fire
voice going on, which that's really yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
I think I'm just gonna eat me a salamander and
dance on a tumbleweed. The We don't need to talk
about the cast of Night Writer. If you want to
hear us do that and talk about series history, go
back to episode fifty. It's all right there up top.
But we're just gonna get into one cast member, and
that's the guy that voices Car this time around, because
it's different. Yes, last timer, and it was Paul Freeze,

(05:10):
of course, who I believe they quit having voice acting
awards in all of the television and film awards ceremonies
because he won them all and wouldn't give them back.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
That makes sense.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
That's how good he was as Car.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
He was a Transformers guy.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
No, he wasn't. No, this is this guy either, Colin.
He plays Optimus Prime. You guys might know him as
a talking vehicle from another thing that sucks. So he's
got a real type his niche. He does very well
as Car, but he is not Paul Freeze.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
I will say it. At first, I wasn't having it
when I heard this Car. I was like, no, no,
I can't do it. And then it grew on me
a lot. By the end I was fine with that.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, it's perfectly acceptable.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
The line readings are very good. He doesn't have the
voice necessarily that carries as much as Paul Freeze.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Does, not as much of a commanding presence. But also
he might have been limited by what Car did in
this episode, which is a little less devious.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
We have to realize that the Car we saw before
was resurrected. We're in fact seeing a bit of a
prequel for us, even though it was in chronological order
when it aired.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yeah, I like that we're doing it almost like, let's
go back and see the origin story of Car. Now, Yeah,
it's not really the way the audience experienced it, but
it's different for us doing it this way. And it
was surprising to me how much Car is a little
bit sympathetic in this episode. I thought it was going
to be just pure evil the whole time, but he
doesn't really seem evil.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Look at it this way. We're basically finding out that
Anakin really got a rough draw from the beginning. He
was a slave, and then of course the Jedi didn't
really treat him with respect and he turned into Darth Vader.
That's what we're seeing. We saw just Car come in
and choke people on the Death Star. Now we're seeing
Car as a Jedi.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
We've not seen Car be anything as shitty as Anakin,
to be fair like, we've only seen like low grade
Darth Vader and high grade Darth Vader out of Car.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
It actually is a surprise in the accurate analogy too,
with him giving that giving that guy a heart attack
in our in our first Philly Washington, that seems like
a thing Darth Vader would do it. He's just kind
of he goes straight for the throat, but seriously very
sleek and black.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
You know. Yeah, the Vader outfit and Cars outfit can't
breathe real good.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yeah, And I mean I know that this isn't accurate,
but I did get some sense of the residence in
James Earl Jones Darth Vader voice, in in Carr's voice.
They're both very deep and booming, and they are commanding.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
I'm glad we got this out of the way. Talking
about the different people who were portrayed, Car too, that
was on my list, Like you know, like you might say,
which is your favorite Batman? Which is your favorite James Bond.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Which is your favorite Car?

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, and they're only two choices so far. We can
only hope it gets revived.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Well, you know they had that reboot. I wonder if
they had a Car up they did not, because I absolutely.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Looked that is a really bad decision.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah, how do you miss that opportunity?

Speaker 1 (07:53):
How do you miss the opportunity to just change the
series to Car?

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Yeah, if you're going to reboot it, there you go.
There's your that in Barth.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
I'm pretty sure that's how we ended our first night.
Writer Rabal was saying well, we need this show.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
I'm pretty sure whenever we talk about night Writer, it's
always going to end up being like car that's car.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
When we do like the State of the night Writer Union,
it ends the same way. I guess we can talk
about this episode. They start the same way, which is
with a pre cap sort of It just tells you
what's going to happen in the episode. This is the
thing that happened a lot in the sixties, seventies and eighties.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
I think of it as the Columbo thing because Columbus
did this, and I think did it well. It's a
little hokey when Night Writer does it, but it's fine.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
I mean, you get the gist. Michael and Kid are
afraid of a car that's cooler than them, and a
bunch of cars drive into palettes and barrels. That's essentially
all the pre cap is. That's all the episode is.
We get the credits. That's another one of these laborious
eighties things where a stern voice tells us the story
of Michael Knight becoming a cyborg man cop and he

(08:55):
drives around inside of his best friend Kit, which is
a smart car.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
You love to say it that way, going away climbs
right inside.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
I maintain that's what's happening here. And there's a cool
simple sense song we started our episode with. We all
like it. We agreed on that before. Do we hold
firm in that, Yeah, certainly.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
It's certainly one of the top bTB songs we've used.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
We like it, we like it. So actually starting the
episode because right five minutes in, now, after we've said
what will happen and shown the credits.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Well, you've got twenty four of these a year, you
gotta pad them out a bit, so they just throw
stuff at you.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Fe and they had to fill their dumb hour slot
for some reason. This show is thirty minutes at best,
and they had to pad it somehow to get that
airtime met.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
The one thing I do appreciate is back then they
were probably like, we'll never be able to convince the
consumers that they should have more than thirteen minutes of
commercials per hour of broadcast. Oh little did we know
they'd get that thing up to like twenty. I'd rather
watch a bunch of bullshit with David Hasseloff being like,
hey kid, I bet you wish you were cool or
what you know, then watch a tide commercial or whatever.

(09:57):
Down with advertising, Down with the man. Okay, So we're
at Night Industries, which is kind of defunct after its
founder Wilton Knight died from being old.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
This was the first season episode, right, Yes, so we're
still quite early in the run.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
We are, and there's still a bunch of stuff in
there from his reign of invention. We see a couple
of i'll call him not upstanding gentlemen, oh bos waiting
in the in the bushes. They are Rev and Tony.
Rev is played by William Sanderson, who is a regular
on Newhart.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
So was very he was one of the darrels.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
He just hit me. He's actually Larry. He's okay, well
you know what I mean, who guides the two darrels brothers. Yes,
and I love this guy. If I could see this
guy in anything, I will. No, we're not talking quite
David Leisure territory, but I do. I do love him
quite a bit.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
He also ends up playing a very sweet guy.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Somehow he always does. He has a very life. Well,
he's the sweetest guy you'd ever dig out of a dumpster.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
He has that vibe. He's real. He's a dirt bag,
but you can't help but be like, how but he's
a well meaning dirt bag.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
See he showed up in bab On five in my
recent rewatch or watch, as I should say, and he
was just a dirt bag. He was like some space
steel guy, like he would steal stuff and I was just.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
Wondering if you had any beams that could take off.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yeah, he's got that real soft, kind of Southern hokey
boy not be from VIRGINI.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
It's fun to listen to.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
I typically tend not to like the Southern accents, but
this one I like something about it.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
He's great and he has very very beautiful eyes, the
kinds of eyes where you'd trust, you know, you know,
even though trust doesn't rust you know.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
So Jared in Silicon Valley, which covered recently, has similarized.
But Jared's are sad.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
I think William Sanderson I think his eyes are also sad.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
But they're not as sad. If there are whole ten,
then this guy's inn eight. Sure, So we'll give you
on the sad I scale, yeah, which we have and
have used frequently.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
It's on the wall.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
That's interesting because those are two kind of dopey faced
guys too. But but they do have those really unusual
eyes that most people don't have.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
It.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
It's tartling that I don't know how to describe it,
but always glistening or that level of complexity in your eyes.
And they're just like ordinary looking people otherwise, but they
have that one feature.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
I have a theory that eyes are probably pretty important
to a character actor.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
People too, you need to see with them.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
You know, Also that you said people too like character
actors aren't people.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
I also think that's the meaning to the Cyclops community
to say that eyes.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Give any shits about Cyclops.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
What about the X Man?

Speaker 2 (12:28):
He's got two eyes though, he just says a visor.
Oh yeah, I've been watching X Men because he's kind
of a misleading name. I don't I think he should
give that back. Let me tell you somebody else's two eyes.
You're not gonna believe this gambit.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
Well, I know he does. He's basically just human leatherhead,
although he predates leatherhead. I'm sure, yeah, I believe I
would imagine that he does.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Okay, So in I've said this before, in faces, like
in people's faces, there's like eight faces that kind of
differ a little bit, and that's human kind.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
And then whatever shape you are an age dictation, A
lot of it pass your face shape or whatever.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Eyes. There are only three types of eyes. There's the
Jared and William Sanderson kind of eyes that are, you know,
a little sad but deep and so forth. And then
there's normal eyes. Everybody has normalized. But then there's like
he'll Billy and bred eyes. There's another they're too close
together and they frighten you when you look at them.
What's the fourth tiny and beady or Neil Breen eyes? Okay, yeah,

(13:23):
kind of bird eyes, lizard bird four eyes. We know
that there are four types of human eyes. And how
many bones in the body?

Speaker 4 (13:30):
Eight?

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Is that what we determined when we covered House?

Speaker 2 (13:32):
There's no we determined. We know it's a fact there's
eight bones.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
What did you say, House or Bones or whatever other
awesome show we were watching at the time. That kind
of bears a similarity in the night writer.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
Well, now I want to know which which show was
it that we decided we knew the bones? Was it
House or was it Bones?

Speaker 1 (13:49):
You know what we'll call We'll call them someone write
in or call us or whatever and tell us what
we said.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Oh, do we remember to activate the hotline before we
started this episode for our five callers that we have.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Oh no, I never remember to activate the hot line.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
It's like the oldc hot line.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah, you can call and hear directly from Lex Luger.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
It's like after he finishes a match, he records a
thing going, oh I'm mad I lost, I'll win again
next week eight dollars a minute.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Did you guys ever call anything like that, like where
you're gonna be on a live show close.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
I got in a big trouble when I was a
kid because I called the Nintendo Secrets hotline bet that
where you can get passwords and stuff. Oh yeah, I
rung up like a three hundred dollars bill in nineteen
ninety two or whatever. And my mom was livid. And
the best part about it was I got in trouble.
Of course, she managed to get the costs down or
gone or whatever. And she told me, she was like,
and you were banned from Nintendo not playing it. I mean,

(14:41):
I'm banned from ever going yeah, yeah, stuff like that.
And I'm like a seven year old kid. I'm like,
oh my god, my life is over. I'm banned from Nintendo.
This is my life.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Can you imagine all of the games they have there
they haven't even told us about.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
I just want to hug sugaroo myamoto.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
Does she uphold the band? Is it still an effect
today where she's like, you can't go to Nintendo even now.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Into Tunbell you haven't forty, you haven't been. That's true.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
I haven't been so in a since.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Yeah, I think it worked. It's still being upheld as
we speak.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
We had to bum me out guys.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
Well, Rev and Tony they want to break into night industries.
Why well, they don't know. They just suspect there could
be something of value in there because they are vagrants.
They have those elbow patch jackets too, and like fingerless gloves.
They're cool.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah, hubbos. They like they belong on a train something.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Neither of them had a bendle. That was disappointing.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
That is sad.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
Eventually, Tony is able to peer pressure Rev that they
should go inside past a guard, because Rev, once he
sees a guard, he really doesn't want to anymore. And
this is their dynamic as vagrant friends is Tony wants
to do crimes. Rev doesn't really want to do crimes,
but he probably is a Whino or something.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
He is there for the friendship, yeah, and the companionship,
but you know, if it gets a little too hairy,
he wants to back off. But then Tony's there to
be like, you know it, no'h come on, let's do this.
We'll profit.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
And this is visually displayed by Tony having a big
fat mustache. That's how you know he's like the instigator.
It's a good one, or a bucket hat would be
another way, but this show kind of predates the bucket
hat movement. Meanwhile, Michael is inside Kit and they don't
kids like I want to go home. It's two thirty
in the morning, and Michael's like, oh, I forgot the

(16:25):
city's taking possession of Wilton's lab in the morning. What
so you put it off until like five hours before
they're gonna do it.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
And presumably this is many months after he's died. They've
settled all this stuff in court, done all that. Now
he's doing it.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
I have a way better way to get Michael and
Kit there. Oh, I just got word that the alarm
went off at night Industries. We need to go check
it out.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Maybe they wanted to suggest a little bit of depth
to Michael's character. Maybe he's just a really bad procrastinator.
It'd be what they seem to suggest in the show
is that he's been too busy fucking yep.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Well, David Hasselhoff, I think, at this stage in his
career was one of those people who's too hot to
get shit done, you know what I mean? Likes there's
people that are just like they're there. They look at
themselves in the mirror, other people are looking at them,
and the demands on their time because of that.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
So it's its own form of busyness and in sense
like if you're that hot, you're just busy.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Someone tell me another reason why he's famous.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
The to do list has be hot at the top,
and that takes up ninety five percent of your time.
You don't have enough time to get milk at the
store or whatever, or go check out the factory that's
being shut down.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
And also you you're not gonna call a hot person
out when they're being lazy.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
No, too hot, now, what would you say? I was
reading some article where part of it was kind of
talking about how movie stars get thrust into the limelight
a lot, whether we want them or not, And the
most recent iteration of this would be as we record
this in twenty twenty four, Glenn Powell and Sidney Sweeney,
who are both in a bunch of movies right now,
and I think they're both good actors. But the other

(17:55):
thing about them when people complain like, oh, they're just
everywhere because they're in a bunch of stupid movies too.
But look at them, what did you want them to do?
They're too hot to do anything else. Yeah, if they
had said I don't think I want to be photographed,
well that's not an option unless you would have put
your face in a vat of acid or something.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, people are still going to be taking a picture
of those Sidney Sweeney jugs no matter what.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
There's no way around that anyway. So Tony and Rev
get inside the building. David Hasselhoff and Kit arrive at
the building having no idea what's actually going on in there.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
They just see the open door.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, the door's open. But what's going on is Rev
and Tony are just pulling levers. They haven't gotten around
to stealing anything yet. They're like, what's this lever?

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Du Have you ever been to a vacant warehouse? You
just grab levers? And pull them. It's like instructions on
the door, you know, the two do list be hot,
that's on the factory to do list, no levers.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
When things are sparking, would you stop because they don't?

Speaker 2 (18:52):
It depends on my mood.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
A lot of things sparked in the eighties that don't
now though, based on visual evidence that we have, they
they unwittingly pull lever number three. I don't know if
you guys saw this, but there's a sign next to
that that says to never engage that.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
One that says danger in there too.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
You might think, oh danger, like there's a one million
chance that causes a fire. That's not the danger at hand.
Oh no, Tony thinks, oh wow, now that we've pulled
that lever and we've entered a new room, we have
a gold mine. Look rev a completely empty giant room.
Imagine how much money this is worth. Seriously, their scam

(19:30):
doesn't make any sense unless they're wasted.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Maybe they think that if you wander onto a property,
that's now your property. So it's like, oh, we're factory
owners now, Well.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
That is kind of what America did. That's a manifest destiny. Yeah,
so I see how they got that from living here.
But all of a sudden, in this empty room, Rev
and Tony realize they're not alone because a red light
panel begins to pulse in the distance, causing the thieves
to be very afraid as they should be. Outside, Michael

(19:59):
and Kid are talking and kind of getting in a
little bit of an argument. There's no guard, and Michael says, Kit,
why don't you come inside with me? And Kit goes,
I'm a little bit spooked, Michael. Well, also, you can't
fit in the door. You're a fucking car. That's what
I would have said to him.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Maybe you can go sideways.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Now that's true, maybe that is possible, But that's not
the only reason why Kit is spooked, is it? Pickles?

Speaker 4 (20:20):
Michael, I'm getting some unusual readings reading through what I
don't know. They appear to be censored echoes of my
own telemetry. But that's impossible money, if it's impossible to ignore,
Come on, Michael, I have a strange feeling about this.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Ooh so ominous. What might happen next?

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Michael, I'm a door.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Imagine watching this and not knowing about car yet. You
know that's true. You'd be shocked when you saw what happens.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
That's why I think this actually works better as you
go back in time and sch o the prequel or
because now you know what's in there and you get
much more your dread is much higher. What Car is
capable of.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Well, like we were just talking about actors, it's very
fun to go back and see their first role, see
what they were like then.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
I also didn't notice this first time how David Hasselhoff
tells Kit if it's a buddy, if it's impossible, don't
worry about Is that what he says, don't work? Yeah,
that's like, that's definitely something a hot person was say.
I just didn't think about it.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
It's weird. In my experience, things are just kind of
worked out.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
There are no such thing as problems.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
I find I don't have to think much at all.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
Oh my wife left me. Oh you can find another one.
I find them all the time.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
You want one.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
One fell through my chimney just the other night. So
obviously there's a feeling of fear in the air here
for Kit especially. Michael finds the guard knocked out, but
then Michael has to drag the guard out of the
way because Car comes barreling out of the facility. Just
Willy Nilly, we don't yet know.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Okay, well, let's beck up. Willy Nilly is not cool
enough to say anything Carr does. We need to become
me to say yeah. But we're applying into gar. We
need to think about the better phrase. He comes out there, car.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Blast ass straight out of the side of this building.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Blast ass works. I just refuse Willy Nilling. Michael has
to cower like a little piece of shit.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
There's good.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
There's a car hurtling over the top of him and
the knocked out security card. And I have to say
this right now, we've not seen the rever tony yet.
If you're Michael or Kit, you have to assume car
knocked the security guard out. There's no other interpretation yet.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
True. He got a bat and clubbed him over the
back of the head.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Michael dumps the guard into the back of Kit and says, Kit,
we need to go. And Kit's like, I'm freaked out, Michael.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
I just saw myself. Michael. It's like whenever people will
put like mirrors in the wilderness, like the forest, and
then a camera so they can see how animals react
to it. That's Kit finally seeing himself, presumably he's never
seen a mirror before.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Michael, I look much more attractive than I thought I did,
because you know, Car is better looking Car. Of course,
it's just his attitude. They look physically the same.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
But yeah, that matters. Guys. If you're out there and
you're having trouble getting women or men look inward, it
may not be an appearance thing. It maybe your inner
self is dirty.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
Again, unless you're super hot than you're good.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
Well right, right, but you don't have to look in
If you're super hot.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
You don't have to look Yeah, just be speaking of
hot people, let's go to the night HQ or Devon,
who's one hundred years old, says, look, this guard guy's
going to be just fine and he'll be able to
update us with information soon. But we don't know what
happened there. We don't know what that other car was.
Michael is pissed. He's like, why didn't you tell me? Devin?
There's a second kit. And for those who don't remember,

(23:40):
Devon is just this old guy who kind of is
the boss.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah, I forgot he existed. Yeah, well he's not important, no,
none at all. And Michael's just so catty about this whole. Well,
you should have told me. I should have known why.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Because he's hot and he's used to everyone telling him
everything all right, whether he wants to know it or not. Also,
there's a good chance people told him and he just
wasn't listening. That's believable, Devin explains, Look, there's a reason
he didn't know about him. Carr is night automated roving robot,
and he's the prototype that preceded Kit Bonnie, who's the
mechanic on the team. She says, Look, the big mistake

(24:13):
here is car was programmed for one thing, and one
thing only, self preservation and being cool. She only says
the first part, but the second part's implied.

Speaker 4 (24:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Yeah, Now, did we get Bonnie in our other episodes?
I don't think so. I think they'd already switched actresses.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
I know they had a different one.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, we might have gotten one of each. We also
might have gotten uh.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
I think we did get in on Tube, but I
don't remember either of them because I don't remember the
female character in the Gena Davis one. Because we had
Geena Davis and Birth both hot people.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yeah, good point. Devin says that Carr was put away
once Welton realized there's been a huge mistake here. This
car is going to take the world over or something,
and Wilton meant to destroy him, but Wilton died, and
in that process everyone kind of forgot about Carr being
at Night Laboratory.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
I get it. It's a real hard trek to mount doom,
to throw into the fires to destroy the ring, because
surely you can't just be like, oh, let's put it,
bulldozer over it or whatever. How do you destroy one
of these?

Speaker 1 (25:10):
You need a really elaborate way to do that.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
I think, like a Wiley Coyote plan.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Well, yes, as it turns out, Bonnie and Devin continue
to explain to Michael that the programming is important because
of how it affects the cars, I guess personality effectively.
You know, we cut the car with that in mind,
and he's asking Tony and Rev if they're awake because
car can talk. We wouldn't yet know that technically, that's try.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
I hain't said anything we do. You might be able
to infer that because Kit can talk, and this looks
like Kit.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
That's true, and while he's a prototype, he might, you know,
still have the same capabilities. Well, Rev goes and asks
Car a stupid fucking question. You're just a car, Ain't you?

Speaker 3 (25:53):
Not just a car?

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Idiot?

Speaker 4 (25:56):
I am the night automated roving robot car. If you prefer,
I am the prototype of the car of the future.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
So now this sets the stage. Twelve minutes into the episode,
we know we're dealing with one of the best characters
on TV. All you had to do was talk. This
is a cool ass car.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
How often do you, guys ask your appliances and machines
You're just a blank carn't you.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Well I haven't done it yet, but this has made
me reconsider.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Well, sometimes you know, something seems a little out of
the ordinary. That toast popped up and landed right on
the plate. Shouldn't do that. So you're just a toaster,
ain't you? It doesn't answer, But.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Someday toast heating automated. It just starts talking to you.
They'd have a higher pitch voice, though it's smaller than car.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
Technically it would be bread heating because you've already hears
it's yeah, when.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
It's done, When does it become toasts?

Speaker 1 (26:47):
I think it's like that senator said with pornography. You
know it when you see it.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
Fair. I used to like toast when it was barely toasted.
All no, no, not so much. I wanted to be
a verge of burnt now when I was a child,
I just wanted to heat it though basically and still soft.
So I was in that. I was straddling that line
at one point in my life.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
If any of what you're eating, though, if you're eating
a wet type sandwich, you might need it to be,
like you said, a little more done or else.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
Hold the liquid, yeah, rips. I like, got a little
jam on my toast, little jelly. What's the different street
jam and jelly?

Speaker 1 (27:18):
One of them? I don't know. I was going to
make a thing up and then I just I was
thinking about car and I just lost it.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
You're just a tough jelly, ain't you.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
I know it's something that someone could give a very
clear answer on, but I don't have it myself. Someone
would be like, there's a huge difference.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Actually, it sounds like something that if either of you
would have asked somehow I would have known it. Yeah,
but I don't, and then I would be excited to
talk about it for too long.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah, It's one of those things that someone who got
into a canning would would really know.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
I did get into canning.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
I do kind of remember that. Actually, now that you mention.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
It, we got my canner right out there, hardly nowhere.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
I don't know why that got me, but it did.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Once he's declared himself, Carr explains how Wilton Knight turned
on him back in the day, and the three of them, Rev,
Tony and Night automated roving robot commiserate on their bad dads,
essentially like our childhoods were so bad and cars like
mine two.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
I love how they just chum up right out of
the gate.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
See, I thought he was gonna kill him when when
when he asked him just a car, and I was like,
they're done, and then they and then a little bit cars.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
Actually they're pretty reasonable compared to what we see in
a couple of years.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
That's what I'm saying. He's actually kind of innocent at
this point, and.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Having watched all this episode, I now understand his motivation.
In the second one that we covered ages ago.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Car says he owes the revn Tony because they have
reactivated him. Car says he'll give them anything human desires,
and that includes eat, drink, or fuck any any of
the above or all.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
My gas tank is open.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Rev ha ha. When reven Tony mentioned seeing a clone
car of Car the night before, car gets pissed and
it's like that car probably sucks, He's not wrong. Once
reven Tony have made their decision on eat or fuck
or drink first, they decide to eat, which you can
drink simultaneously.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Car could fuck simultaneously, Well you could, It's not advisable.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Car probably doesn't want all that going on in his interior.
At the same time, they need a vacuum the mat.
After that, car slashes and dashes through traffic to get
to the Three Rings Restaurant, which is a drive through
fast food restaurant. And this restaurant has sort of a
metal standee of their mascot, which is this Three Rings guy,

(29:32):
the Ring Master, who looks sort of like the Pringles mascot.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
A little bit. It has a themed restaurant. I wish
it were a Sonic the Hedgehog themed restaurant. Because of
the Rings, you get like sense, like a Doctor Eggman
salad sandwich.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
You have to eat it fast.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Of course, everything has to do with speed there, Brian
gotta go fast.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Well, the ring Master, this big metal ring Master, he
has a speaker coming out of him, so that the
employee taking our order seems like he is the ring Master.
And this isn't confusing for a flesh and blood human being.
But if you were a machine, you might be a
little concerned about this smiling mustache boy machine talking to you.
And Carr is he does not like this one bit.

(30:14):
So the employee is getting frustrated that Rev and Toni
and Carr won't place their order. Car is getting frustrated
because he believes they're being taken advantage of by a
cyborg with a human behind it, and he thinks Rev
and Tony don't know this.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
He's like, see, he's concerned for them. This is a fake.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
This metal thing talking is not who he says he is. Naturally,
instead of getting fast food, Car decides to drive directly
through the ring Master and destroy him to prove he
was fake.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Stone called Steve Austin. No, wait, was that his name
before all that stuff? The ring Master? Yeah, exactly, what
a stupid name. Yeah, it doesn't it's very dumb.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
So Carr does this destructive act and Tony and Revin
form Car, well, we can't do any of what we're
going to do now because the cars are going to
be on their way, and Car's like, I don't fucking care,
bring them on, bring on those uniforms. Until he realized
this could mean he goes back to the slammer, and
Car says I will not be behind bars again, and

(31:14):
they leave.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
Car racing through the streets saying I don't want to
go back to the slammer. As one of the highlights
of the episode.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
For me, it's pretty great. They will not take me alive.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
I'll see you in the head, I'll see you.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
In the junkyard.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Well, which is hell for a car.

Speaker 4 (31:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
It also adds a little bit of that innocence factor
to Car because he doesn't like he doesn't know the
term for slammer, the colloquial term for slammer. They teach
him it and then he starts using it as he
evades the car.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
He's almost like et he's learning about the human experience.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Well, there's this thing online where if you know, somebody says,
for example, the biggest mistake I see often is I
would of or I could of what these people are
doing is they here could have the contraction could have
and think it's could of. It's a simple mistake. People
can make it. It's not a pie.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
It's existed way before the Internet.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
But if you correct people on this. For example, if
I were to say I could have done this and
someone said, well, could have is gibberish. You're not saying
actual words. It's this, I would go, oh, maybe, even
if I don't thank them, I at least just don't
say anything and learn from the experience. But people on
line don't do that. What they do is they go,
you're fucking dumb.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
You know what I was saying. I can say whatever
I want.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
And they get mad and irritated. That is not Car.
Car here's slammer and integrates it in his vocabulary. He
is not there to say could of. He will happily
accept a correction and run with it.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yes, So that's because car is he is adept at
machine learning in AI. That's what he is effectively.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Don't yeah, oh MAYI You're starting to man a.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Third factor, perhaps something intangible that we in real life
have yet to discover, like some sort of strange scientific
paradox that exist and make a being this perfect some
like science soul. Yeah, but we haven't gotten around to
it yet. We haven't figured it out. All that's talking
about the three rings has me feeling really hungry and violent.

(33:09):
Let's go eat and beat up a statue. As Car
is making his escape, Michael is driving Kid around with
his tinted glasses on and the two are discussing the
complications of cars existence. See, Kits had time to think
and his self esteem is boosted actually knowing he's actually
the improved version of Car, which no, but you know

(33:32):
you can keep on thinking that Kit.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Yeah, he no longer thinks of himself as a flaw prototype.
He is the perfected first iteration.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
The car is unique perspectives on that. How for Car,
it's I'm a prototype, he's a cheap he's a knockoff. Yeah.
And then from Kits he's like, oh, I've been improved
from the prototype. The way they both take their side
being superior is also another nice touch.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
Yeah, it totally is. You can see how there you
know they are two sides of the same coin.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
But not two face coin, which is the same side
on both but then one got burned like with acid.
Like his face makes me wonder if we can trust
that Harvey Dent got half a face car.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Meanwhile, well, he's kicking the police's ass in a chase.
He's just zipping around because he's not like, Look, the
police are driving normal cars. They're just like forward whatevers.
They're not driving a Transam souped up by God. Well,
when Michael and Kit checked the police scanner, they realize
cars on the loose and kids worried about what this
is going to do, not only to the city but

(34:30):
to the good Transam name.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
It's just a nice little plug there for them.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
They probably were contractually required to do.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Us say it at least a few times, because I
believe in your research you said Transam or whatever company
owned them, provided all the car.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
It's really expensive, I want to say, a couple hundred
thousand dollars in forty years ago. Money wow, for one
of them, and here we have two. Car comes to
a stop because he thinks he's outwitted and outrun the
police and Tony and Rev discuss their plans. Car allows
all this again because he feels he owes them, and
he actually is programmed. He's programmed himself to trust them

(35:06):
from their initial meeting. He made a little comment when
they met, I can trust you. You've reactivated me. And
when they ask him for his help here, Carr repeats,
it is in my programming, I trust you. And Tony
wants Rev to betray Car for a big score. Rev
doesn't want to get in any trouble though, and Tony
says Car simply can't be caught though any big score

(35:28):
we do will get away with. As the scene ends,
Carr's red light bar is pulsating, as if he's taking
all this information in computing it and adapting to a
new belief system. If you will.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Feel my friendness.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
Michael arrives at the three Rings a little too late,
and because he's any transam that looks identical to the
monster one that drove through the building, ninety cops point
guns at him and knock him to the ground. When
we get back from Commercial, because that's absolutely what happened here,
there's like a freeze frame and music that's like comes
to a big screeching.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
Hal it fades.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
Devin and Bonnie have sorted out all their confusion with
the cops, and now the cops know Look, it's a
simple mistake. Any police officer could make this is a
normal superhero car. There's an evil bad guy car that
looks the same. It's the one that drove through the
three rings.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
Also, sorry for kind of wanting to shoot you because
you ran over a piece of property. Yeah, that seems
a little bit of an overstep.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
All forty four of us did overreact in that moment. Yeah,
because even if this was car, the car that did
it is.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
It's just just just a piece of like a machinery.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
No one's hurt, nothing was taken.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Find him and move on.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
Nope, you shoot him.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
We are talking about the cops.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Yeah, Bunnie is repositioning Kit's innards because she has a
new component. She liked a place inside of him, and
that component is what could take car down. Michael tells Kit,
you're the best partner I ever had. Buddy and Kit
sort of reciprocase but not.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
Real, No, not at all.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
Kit and Devin then nerd out about Xeno's paradox and
the irresistible force meeting the immovable object.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
I don't know if I trust the xenomorph paradox. That's
that's a little frightening for me.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
I thought the Xenomorph's paradox was that if you cut
its blood, will the blood will melt your ship? Correct,
which is a real paradox. It's a real problem.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
But wait, isn't Xenu or whatever they said, the scientology
god Xenu?

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Is this is Xeno, who's like a Greek philosopher from
thousands of years ago.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Do you think it's real or do they make this?

Speaker 1 (37:32):
It's real?

Speaker 2 (37:32):
This is a real thing. Okay, I mean I've heard
this para yeah, and that this.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Is the real version of that paradox. But this reeks
of this well it still goes on today. But in
the eighties a lot of high concept, dumbass shows like
this one would be like open up like a philosophy
or a history book and just pull something out and
put it in. So we seem like we have a
brain in our head.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
Yeah, I wish someone would have been like, but is
that really consistent with how we present this show? Is
that really fit in any of this at all?

Speaker 1 (37:58):
So it's not like, no, it seems like the show
is big and dumb and we should just lean into that.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
David Hasselhoff is in this, I will say at least
they didn't have Hasslehoff be the one to be like, oh, yeah,
you know paradox.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
Maybe they tried and you just couldn't do it, and
they're like, all right, give it to someone else.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
That's a good point, that is right there. Why you
have Devin in the show. If you have an old
British guy say a thing and you're like, oh, I trust,
I believe it.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Of course he knows all of the knowledge in the world.
Why do you think it's called encyclopedia? Brittannic Huh.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
We moved to the Centurion Bank. It's a setting we've
not been at yet in some villainous music plays. It's
actually pretty cool. It's like this hammer noted piano thing.
It sounds, you know, very ominous. As Carr smashes directly
through the front of the bank and Tony and Rev
bite and kiss bundles of cash that they've stolen. We
get like a quick montage to this song of car

(38:50):
just full speed driving through different buildings. I love that
that's his go to.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
It's like, you have this fancy car that's clearly intelligent
beyond all beliefs, blah blah blah, and it's is to
hit things like that's what it does.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
And I like that that's the reason is because Tony
and Rev are the ones in charge, so they're like, well,
we know it can't be caught, and we know it's indestructible,
just hit. But it's a very like a sequence of
a car smashing into a building five times in a
row is actually pretty funny. Oh you just see it.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
It is, and it's they've reduced these two dumb, bumbling,
bad guys sort of want to be things, have reduced
car to just a common bank heist person.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
Yes, car and battering realm essentially. And the whole montage
ends with like a spiraling in newspaper. I missed this
kind of shit that says like crime wave, Bank's robbed,
so that.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
We know what's going on for sure, I could just
hear the batman no no, no no, as the newspaper spins,
how glorious is that? We need to bring that back
in something?

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Well, we need to be in charge of a TV show.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
We've been saying this for a while. We've had some
really good ideas about shows that are forty years old.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
That we're bad and always would be.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
Except that nice little touch that we had and made
it just a little bit better.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
Take from a d minus do we be?

Speaker 3 (40:02):
That should be our tagline.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
I have been designing business cards for us. Yeah, just
so you know.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
How do you go about giving out podcast business cards?

Speaker 2 (40:11):
I don't know, but I was like to try. Yeah,
just I don't know. They're cheap, which is why I
always thought business cards would be expensive. But for like
thirty bucks, you can get a thousand of them. So
I'm Michael, I'll do that.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
Well. Once once the Internet took fully over, I guess
they became like, I mean, what would Christian Bale and
the American Psycho even say? Now you'd be like, here's
my then link tree.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
It's really funny you say that because I have a
American Psycho joke in one of our.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Shows, How Weird.

Speaker 3 (40:36):
It's quite a coincidence.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Once Devin and Michael are done watching the montage of
car committing crimes, they decide there's only one thing left
to do. It's to make good on the like chip
laser thing that Bonnie has put inside Kit's stomach. What
this will do theoretically, this laser is give the good
guys a chance to hit car and is one week
spot a narrow front scanner. David Hasslof's even impressed by

(41:01):
the demonstration that's put on for him, but he's dismayed
when Devin explains the shot has to be fired from
very close range and you only have you have to
hold it for two seconds, so the chance of Car
just ramming you to your own death as you're trying
to fire it off. I mean it's fifty to fifty.
But you know this ties into my Star Wars connection.
Earlier they're doing the death Star trench run and use

(41:22):
your targeting computer, but Luke turns it off. He has
this tiny opportunity. Old Ben's voice echoes and he said,
use the force.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
I didn't get paid enough for this, and he shoots
it and boom, dees Star explodes.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
Well, Grant, you know, if he had taken that shot
nine hundred and ninety nine, nine hundred and nine nine
more times, he wouldn't have made it again. You know
why one million? Yeah, that's exactly why.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
We're telling me the odd spencer. We're getting ahead of ourselves.
That's Empire strikes.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
I think it's possible that this show should have been
called Car Wars.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
What if C three po was played by Car? Okay, Actually,
it have to be our two three kit type. He
is a kit type, right seats are No, it's exactly
that those two I mean, man, that fits.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
Yeah, I see we can fix Star Wars bigger than
the other car. Oh, I fucking love the other DA.
The other detail about this car destruction laser you only
get two shots, so you better not miss twice. Then
you'd have to just count on dumb ass luck Yep,
not that that'll happen. Rev and Tony. They're celebrating at
their layer with car they have. I don't know where

(42:25):
they are really.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
They've still don a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
Yeah, they have just a shitload of money.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
That they've really done anything with it. And they're still
in this gross, little grimy underground place and they just
have the money in front of them.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
In it exactly where they are again, they walked into
that factory. It's theirs. Now, that's where they're at.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
They I didn't see them, Like there's no flag staked
into the ground.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
You might say. At this point, they have apparently remained
true to their roots, like they're not letting the money
change them.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
Yet they're still dirty as buck.

Speaker 3 (42:54):
Tony is about to possibly sell.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Out though, Powers getting to his head man.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
Yeah, yeah, you can sense that he would be the one.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
He's the way.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
I'm concerned for his mortal soul.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
Well, Car needs to be worked on because he's done
a lot of hard crime work after being dormant for
a very long period of time. And Car rebuffs the
thieves saying he needs a mirror tune up, and Car says, no,
I'm the best machine ever built. I need a top
notch cybernetic technician. Not only that, I know where he
can get one. The car that looks like me, find
whoever works on him, and kidnap them. Now. This is

(43:28):
all fine with Tony, who again is an asshole. But
Rev's like, wait a minute, I didn't sign up for
any kidnapping. I was willing to rob banks, but not
that I.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
You know what I identify with this take money from
the man, that's fine, but her kidnapping a talking cars technician,
No bank, You've never done that, Never say never yet
I can't say it legally.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
But Tony keeps trying to talk Rev into it, though.
And as he's doing this, Car uses his internal camera
to pan over his associates like he's Gus frame overhearing
shit or something. Like, what are my underlings talking about?

Speaker 2 (44:05):
He is spying.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Tony says, look, Rev, we won't kidnap the technician. After all,
we'll just fool car, which first off, good luck. We'll
just put some spark plugs in them. He'll feel good. Briefly,
we'll do one big job. We'll get rid of car
and we'll go into hiding. We'll do whatever we need
to do.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
I'll tell you what, though, when you do change your
spark plugs, you yourself feel like better. You're like, oh,
that was satisfying because they go in tightly and snug,
and you get it all set up and you turn
the key and it fires up. Oh man, I would
get a good job.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
I've done it in a video game. Have you which
one car mechanic simulator? Is that real or not real?
Because they have a lot of those games. But I
didn't know. Yeah, it's actually it's quite good. A couple
of years ago, around this time, it was in the
summer of twenty twenty two. I got really into it,
and I don't regret it.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
I bet you could change a spark plug now maybe
your car, your car is like a future car.

Speaker 3 (44:57):
Sure, And also there's something about doing mechanical labor stuff
in games, it's fun, but in real life, if you
give that stuff to me, can't do it, Like actually
interacting with the objects. Is where my brain just kind
of stops and just doesn't know how to do any
of that.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
Do when you look back on that time period, do
you think of it like your hashtag grease monkey summer?

Speaker 3 (45:16):
Yeah? I mean, it's honestly a great memory. And I
associate the summer I want to do with fixing cars.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
When you can't say that about any other summer of
your life.

Speaker 3 (45:25):
And I also can't say I really fixed the cars,
but I think I did, and that's all that matters.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
Well, you know, see Brian texted today and he mentioned
getting his oil chair.

Speaker 1 (45:33):
I did.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
I did do that, and I no joke, I thought this.
I didn't say it because it's not important and it
doesn't matter. But I was like, huh, well, you know
I changed my own oil because I do.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
I need to do it a moment.

Speaker 3 (45:44):
Okay, so wait, did you do yours too?

Speaker 4 (45:46):
Then?

Speaker 2 (45:46):
No, no, I need to. I'm at literally I bought
a filter and we got to get oil tomorrow and
then I'll do it this one.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
You know it costs like five more dollars to not
do it.

Speaker 3 (45:55):
But you don't get that. You don't get that physical rush.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
Yeah, I get it. Third things I do like that.
They're just guitar things though, But you know that I
could get boarded. Honestly. The time it takesuld brobably be easier.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
But also I do the good oil, so and if
you do that at the DA cust little more so
I'd say I save seven dollars.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
Well, you found a way to tell me you change
your own oil anyway, didn't you, So we got no,
you actually changed my oil before I have.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
That's right. You used to do kendles too. Maybe I'll
throw some new spark plugs in there for the fun
of it, see for you, little something for day I
do find. Okay, I don't think you guys know this.
Our washer finally crapped out recently, so we had to
buy a new washing machine, and they're expensive, but we did.
We picked it out and Katie makes a lot more
money than I do, so we're good. We got all

(46:42):
taken care of. I realized how old I am when
we got it, and I was so pumped, and I'm
like excited. They are different settings yeah, And for example,
this one, you don't have to pick small, medium, large,
or whatever the load size is. It auto detects it.
And the drum is big enough that I can fit
my comforter in it. And for years, no joke, I've
had to wash my comforter in the fucking bathtub like

(47:04):
a hillbilly, like I stomp on it. Put more so,
and I don't have to do anymore. I already watched
the comforter. It's delightful. It's a good feel.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
Just reminded me of my old guy thing. I just
bought a new comforter and it's really put us a
little bit of a little spark on my staff.

Speaker 3 (47:18):
Yeah, don't you feel like you're dryer? Kind of feels
like a loser right now though.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
Yes, And I don't learn. Yeah, I do not like
having the old dryer and the new washer. It genuinely
bothers me. Yeah, that's my OCD whatever stuff I have internally,
but it's okay as long as I don't think about it.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
It also sounds like you have an appliance that you
could ask you're just a washer, right, Like you're just
because now you've got a modern thing that you could
really say that.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
I guess I'm going to have to do that. I'll
be back. Uh No, I can't leave otherwise my brother
might show up.

Speaker 3 (47:49):
Yeah, we don't want that again.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
So Tony, we're gonna get back to Tony and Rev.

Speaker 3 (47:53):
Here.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
Tony's telling Rev one thing, which is we're not gonna
hurt nobody, and he's telling Car we're gonna hurt somebody.
We're gonna kidnap that technician. Will do whatever you want, buddy,
double talk. Well, back to Devon, and Devon's showing Michael
a big blueprint of a plan and I wanted to
see it, but he puts it down on the table
and you can't really see it, probably because it isn't anything.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
I'm guessing that's the reason.

Speaker 1 (48:16):
And oh, what's that? An alarm sounds. Michael calls Kit
and Kit says and goes, where are you, buddy, And
Kit's like, I'm fucking parked, idiot, I'm a car.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
A guard calls Devon right then too and says, yeah,
the car it just rammed through the gate. He's very
passive about it, assuming it's Kit and something's gone wrong.
But Kit's no, he's just barked. So we as the audience,
we know this is car. Well all this is going on.
Poor Bonnie does get kidnapped by greasy Tony. He rags

(48:47):
her face. It's it's like, not the last time we're
going to see that. In near BTV future. Carr then
escapes with Bonnie and Tony inside and Michael. He can't
get in, but he is able to leap a top
car and this pisses Car off. Like having a fly
on you you can't quite shake off.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
Or like those sharks that have the little fish that
are like always under them eating their scraps or whatever.
I bet that pisses sharks off.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
Or hyenas with lions kind of they kind of way back. Yeah, Well,
Devin tells Kit, you need to catch up with Car
because that's where Bonnie is, that's where Michael is, that's
where our whole future hangs in the balance. And Devin says,
I can't go. I'm very old, so you know you're
gonna have to do. You're also a talking car, so Kit,

(49:31):
you take this one all hang back like I have
done one hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
Of the time.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
I have to sit for a while.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
Car keeps swerving around, trying to knock Michael off and
at the speedy's going he would have kid approaches in
the two brother cars begin to talk shit to one another.

Speaker 4 (49:50):
Somebody's behind us, Yes, I see it is the inferior
production line. Copy. I heard that car, and you haven't
seen anything yet.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
So they're a little a little barbing here, a little
dispute over skill level. Michael goes ahead and he makes
the jump. He goes from the top of Car to
the top of Kit, and he climbs inside so he
can properly give chase. And what does he climb inside
of He climbs inside his best friend. Okay, and Car.
He doesn't care that the good guy is skating ground.

(50:19):
He tries to discourage him by saying some real badass shit.

Speaker 4 (50:23):
If you waste your timeline, twin, you cannot triumph for
a prototype, assist your pursuit. You will be damaged to Car.
I didn't know you can't.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
Hell, yeah, you're a bitch.

Speaker 4 (50:35):
Kit.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
That couplet describes the two characters, and I'm saying characters
I think very well, which is Car says this big, long,
intimidating thing, and Kit makes a dad joke. Yeah, yeah,
you know that's the two of them, and when you
get right down to it, the chase just keeps on
going with passengers inside. Kit's worried about entering residential area.
What if someone was harmed. Carr says, that's only a

(50:56):
bonus for me.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Haha.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
Freeze frame commercial.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
And we're back.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
We're back, and Kit and Michael are annoyed because guess
what Car got away?

Speaker 3 (51:06):
Because he's better and he's got a lot of practice
lately too.

Speaker 1 (51:09):
Yeah, yeah, he's really been like running hard. They need
to find Car too, because they also have to find Bonnie,
and Bonnie has the laser that can destroy Car, the
only way they can stop him from presumably world domination.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
They like to say a lot on this episode. It's
not calibrated, Michael. They get you thing calibrated. They just
keep talking about the laser calibration. You want to say
a word that sounds science anything. The funny thing about this,
and we noticed this in our other Car episode, is
the show goes out of its way to make Car
seem like the big bad and when you google like
big bad guys or whatever main bad guys in Night

(51:46):
rat Er, he comes up lazy. Yeah, he's supposed to
be very intimidating, so we took to him for a reason.
It's interesting too, of course, now having seen the origin
of Car, that they tried the laser again and obviously
it didn't work well. I guess they thought they made
a better one. Oh okay, I'm not sure. I'll have
to go back and watch the other one again.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
I gladly would. Bonnie has been made to work on
Car so that he can be at top operating condition,
and Car says, don't you try any funny business, Bonnie
make me run like a puma. He doesn't really say that,
but it's implied. Tony is eating something and laughing with
his mouth open.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
It's not a stack of money, though, No, it's actual food,
although Bonnie doesn't think it's food. And Bonnie does this
thing that I hate in shows where she like sticks up.
She's like, not even Michael Knight would eat that sandwich,
and it's just a guy she knows. So of course
Tony's like, who the fuck is Michael Knight? And she's like,
you don't even want to know.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
It comes across right away like some girl be like
my boyfriend will beat you up or something.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
Yeah, And I mean we've been looking at Michael Knight
for three episodes now, and I've never once been like, well.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
That guy is scary. That's not the word.

Speaker 3 (52:55):
I don't know where she gets the idea that Michael
Knight is going to do anything about this.

Speaker 2 (53:00):
She's like, oh, just you wait, I'm gonna play cruel,
Cruel Summer and he's gonna walk around for a little while.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
But it'll eat up time. Rev wakes up, he's just
been asleep with everyone talking, and he's pissed because he
didn't think they would kidnap Bonnie.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
But it did kidnap that.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
I can't believe another thief would lie to me.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
I trusted you, Tony, and you betrayed me.

Speaker 3 (53:24):
You gotta give him credit, though he seems like he'd
be a spineless guy, but he stands up to.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
The out here. He absolutely does. Tony says, look, Rev,
calm down, just one big score and we're done, and
he starts pointing in a newspaper. Bonnie wisely asks Car
for permission to use his camera, and Cars like, whatever,
just get me operating well, and she zooms in to
see that the newspaper is highlighting a the arrival of
a bunch of gyms at a museum, which is usually

(53:49):
on front, on the front page, of.

Speaker 2 (53:51):
Course, and you know how museums love to do that,
transfer their gyms from yeah in the museum.

Speaker 1 (53:56):
Yeah, and give you a time when it'll happen, so
you might be there.

Speaker 3 (53:59):
I could see that being the headline in like the
Victorian era. I don't know about I don't know about
contemporary history though, in like the eighties even.

Speaker 1 (54:06):
Even then, like aside from the old timiness of it,
nothing says like please rob me more than that.

Speaker 2 (54:12):
Come see Gustavson's opal this fall.

Speaker 1 (54:15):
It's as big as a finger. Michael and Kit they're
driving around and what they're trying to do is triangulate car.
But it's gonna take a few passes. In his bad
guy layer, well it's not hit. Well, I'm gonna call it.
His car is still getting worked on as Rev screams
about the quote unquote infernal machine and how it's corrupted

(54:36):
he and Tony. Tony says, I don't think so I
think what I I think you're wrong and I'm going
to throw you through a table, in which he does.
But I looked in this as not a TLC match,
so that would get him disqualified.

Speaker 2 (54:49):
It does explain why there are no ladders or chairs.
Oh wait, there are chairs.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
Yeah, they were sitting at them.

Speaker 3 (54:55):
I also am not comfortable blaming Tony's fall his descent
here on Car. I feel like, if anything, they've been
more kind of a bad influence on Car.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
Because we also have the benefit of foresight when we
know that the other character who Car tried to take
over John was able to get out of it. He
was able because he had a pure soul. Look, Tony
came into this corrupted.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
The Car just helped him unleash his inner corruption exactly,
and he didn't even mean to do that. That wasn't
Car's intention was under the rock was always under the rock.

Speaker 1 (55:25):
Car just turned it over.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
It was a couple of other rocks that made it
a match.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
Big gems.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
Oh of course Gustavson's opal. Yeah, if they found it there.

Speaker 1 (55:35):
Well, all this is going on. Bonnie actually escapes and
Carr didn't even notice when Tony yells at him, he's
a guy, was busy watching you deactivate the REV, which
I did think was really funny.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
Legitimately, what does he say next is like, was he
acting on?

Speaker 1 (55:48):
Yeah? Right? Then Kit busts and through what appears to
be a paper wall.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
Every factory had them, and.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
He runs through some barrels and crates. We saw this
in the opening credits. Tony he hops into car, and
the car and Tony are able to escape. Bonnie, though,
she gets in Kit, so she's safe now, and Kit
and Bonnie they head to the museum to try and
stop Tony's jim heist plan. Now they are safe to
go ahead and try to do the laser thing. Bonnie's present,
she's in car. The chip or whatever is implanted in

(56:19):
his guts. Devin calls Michael, and Michael updates him, and
Devin says, we'll all be at the museum too, with reinforcements,
because if your magic car and you couldn't do it, well,
this old man will be there too.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
And a couple of minimum wage cops. Yeah, they'll handle.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
It at the museum. Car pulls out his number one
play from his playbook, which is go through the Wall.
He drives, drives right through the wall of the bank
in broad daylight, or the museum rather, and he has
no issue As guards begin to fire bullets straight into him.
Tony laughs even from inside like maniacally, and I do
think it's fun that car cannot really be damaged. It's

(56:55):
kind of great.

Speaker 2 (56:56):
Of course, you're gonna build a fancy car of the future.
You make it invincible and car.

Speaker 1 (57:01):
Whereas in a couple of years he's willing to kill,
we kind of know that he'll stop a heart cold. Here.
He decides the best way to dispatch these guards and
cops is to sort of just push some cardboard boxes
into them and trap them behind them. I think they
could just push them over, but whatever.

Speaker 2 (57:17):
They were full of other car parks. This was a
NAPA museum.

Speaker 1 (57:21):
He drives so slow. He drives the boxes so slow
to the cops. It's another unintentionally really funny image. Tony
laughs to himself as and salivates because he realizes he's
gotten away with the heist. He starts opening up these
crates full of jewels, and like the jewels are cushioned
by a bunch of straw. I don't know why. I
like the esthetic of these crates.

Speaker 3 (57:42):
It bothered me that he didn't just take the crates
with him and get out of there. He wanted to
look at it all there, and I just kept thinking,
those are easily transportable. You could just take them and go.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
You know what's really funny is I had a very
similar thought, which is I understand him opening the crate
because the actual jewels are so small, you could get
more and just chuck them in lightweight. But when he
just stands there laughing.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
Look at these jewels and the way he holds them
is like he's on like one of those home shopping
networks and he's showing it off like towards.

Speaker 3 (58:07):
The amritis to see it. Uh huh.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
If a price had flashed, I wouldn't have been surprised.
We're probably headed that direction at our culture.

Speaker 2 (58:15):
He's like, which way's the fourth wall that I point at?
Not fourth meal?

Speaker 3 (58:20):
That sounds good.

Speaker 2 (58:21):
I am getting hungry.

Speaker 3 (58:22):
Today's episode brought to you by Taco Bell.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
I Wish Duo Live Moss or whatever her slogan is now.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
Yo Kiero Taco Bell. It definitely got rid of that one.

Speaker 3 (58:33):
Bring that back from the nineties.

Speaker 1 (58:36):
Outside of the museum, Bonnie reminds Michael, Look, we can
only fire the laser twice, and we have to be
really close range. And while we've talked about this a lot,
the audience might have forgotten. Kit pulls up sideways of
the museum just as Car bursts through, but Car doesn't
get level with him to where a laser can be fired.
Car ramps him because he's really cool.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
Then another chase ensues and the two cars wind up
in like a high noon style showdown facing one another,
kind of like they do in two years later.

Speaker 2 (59:05):
It's like poetry at rhymes, even though poetry doesn't have
to rhyme.

Speaker 1 (59:10):
Kit has to keep Car talking while the laser's ready,
or else Car might realize what's up, but Car's not
deterred by any idea of violence. In fact, he was
born in it. Kit realizes Car needs to gain speed
if he's able to leap the police barricade, so that's
probably what Car is going to be trying to do
next to get away and to gain speed. Car realizes, well,

(59:31):
I can't have a two hundred and fifty pound dude
in the back of myself, so he ejects Tony from
the car to drop the weight. And I like to
believe this is the moment when car sentimentality dies for good.

Speaker 3 (59:43):
Sure at this point he doesn't care anymore that he
said he could trust Tony and he was in this
with Tony, he's done with that. It's Car all firm
himself now.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
Arguably this is Car's true coming of age. He is
now full.

Speaker 2 (59:55):
Cool and he does use like a one liner because
Tony's like, what are you doing? Car, and he's as,
I'm losing some weight and then.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
Literally dropping dead weight and then ramps over it successfully
And there should have been a guitar solo with her,
wasn't Michael's plan then? As cars gotten away again is
we have to play chicken essentially, So he's not explaining
this to Kit or to his team, to Bonnie and Devin.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
And they're all very concerned because this is a bad idea.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
And it's Michael that had it too. So yeah, if
you're in Bonnie's situation, just imagine how terrified you'd be.

Speaker 2 (01:00:27):
Right now, she's in the car with him, she has
to suffer and guess what a driver instinctually will protect
their side of the car, so therefore might turn a
little bit and Bonnie gets just smashed.

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
Bonnie's had a rough day, that's why they had to
replace her and add a new character. Yep, Well it
doesn't matter though Michael says, I know what I'm doing.
I understand the game we're playing here and Kit and
Car driving headlong at one another. Oh my god, as
is happening, Michael and Bonnie both start apologizing for insults
of the past, like on a plane going down, I'm

(01:00:59):
sorry I called you that, you know. I thought this
was going to be more of a declaration of love situation.
But they do share a look, so I'm sure that's
meant to imply a romantic undertone.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
We're a little too early, probably for them the episodes
in that's not very far, but it would have been
the perfect opportunity had you been in the right place.
Because they think they're gonna die. They think Car is
going to fuck him up, which is a good submission.

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
It's there is but no at the last moment of
his Car, who veers off, screams no, and then explodes
into the ocean, only to be found later in the
best episode of.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
TV and I believe. When we discussed the beginning of that,
I had mentioned having read about the original Car episode,
and I said, fans talked about how weird it was
that he was in one piece, and we get it
now because he did explode.

Speaker 3 (01:01:50):
I saw him in lots of pieces.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
But I mean his his control over particle elements. I thinks,
of course, I think explains it all.

Speaker 2 (01:01:59):
Or maybe there should be a third car episode, and
it's the in between episode where he befriends like this
grizzly sailor and he has.

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
To build and train, Yeah, like kind of like Rocky
with Burgess Meritith.

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
Right, and then the old man dies and that's what
corrupts him more.

Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
I love that cars driving up and up and down
some steps, you know of the liberty patching, the liberty bell. Yeah,
and he's trained by an old shitty car. It's like breaking,
broken down and smoking. Oh man, I really would love
to watch that. Well, we're about done here, but Michael
and Bonnie share a moment of relief.

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
Not me.

Speaker 1 (01:02:35):
I brought my flag down half mast. Actually, and I
shared a moment of silence because I thought car was
dead until I remembered I actually knew he wasn't. Yeah
comes back and then he.

Speaker 2 (01:02:44):
Dies, but it's still sad to see it is.

Speaker 1 (01:02:48):
The aftermath begins at Devin's. Everyone's talking about, Oh, it
really was Zeno's paradox immovable what I don't know who cares.
Michael explains his reasoning. He says, why knew because of
their programming, car would chicken out and any had had
battle because he is all about self preservation. Kit says
that doesn't make any sense. Kit's right, and it doesn't

(01:03:11):
make any sense, no, because that doesn't explain why Kit
didn't off because Kit going head on it would kill
the humans.

Speaker 3 (01:03:17):
R yeah, and I thought he was yeah, it would
be him that would beer off. I'm sorry, it doesn't
make any sense.

Speaker 1 (01:03:22):
But then Kit's like, but it was correct, and everyone
just kind of papers over it, like sure definitely didn't
get lucky and shouldn't hold me did right now, Michael says, hey, Kit,
I know it'll relax you. Let's go drive again, Let's
wax you. I'll even let you beat me at chess,
as if a computer couldn't beat David half all off watch.

Speaker 3 (01:03:41):
He's like secretly a grand master and we never knew
this whole time.

Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
He beat Kasparov back in eighty nine.

Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
And then went and filmed a Baywatch.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
Kit doesn't want to do this, though, he says, I'm
actually tired. And before the humans go inside to also rest,
Michael asked Kit, hey, how does it feel to be
one of one again, and Kit says, I have no feelings,
but also it is a familiar feeling. It is a
familiar feeling. He does repeat it twice like that. I
don't know why.

Speaker 2 (01:04:07):
It's kind of gobrinism.

Speaker 1 (01:04:10):
We close with just a static shot of Michael and
Kit driving and the credits. We've seen that shit before. Okay,
so we have now seen both Peter Calling and Paul
Freeze portray Carr. I think we all do still agree
it's Paul Freeze who did the better car.

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
Yeah, Car two was better, but this is fun.

Speaker 3 (01:04:28):
I did wonder when I made that determination early in
the episode if there was any chance that that was biased,
because I saw that first, I did have to question that.
I don't think that's it though.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
No, I agree, well, it's he's just a little more
fun because he's he's malittant, malicious is the right where
he's scheming in the next one, and it's fun to
see him be that kind of like mustache twirling villain. Yeah,
whereas in this one, and I think I said this
in that episode when I've read the synopsis, he's just
more childlike and aloof and there's nothing wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
That's so awesome to Spencer's point, it's fun to see
him like that, absolutely before he becomes you know, the
ultimate villain, which happens right before his death in this episode.

Speaker 2 (01:05:10):
You know what, Obi Wan cut off Anakin's arms and
legs and he'd got burned all up, real bad, and
he came back as Darth Vader car explodes all over
the beach. He comes back as a fully formed car.
Makes sense.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
It all adds up, doesn't it. So we've revisited Night Writer.
I think it was a rather fun thing to do
before we reveal what we'll be doing next in bTB rewind.

Just look for us if you feel like it. But
more importantly, Spencer, there's a show we've covered before. We're

(01:06:04):
going to talk about next week.

Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
What is it we're going to rewind again?

Speaker 1 (01:06:08):
Well, surely not past nineteen eighty two. That's forty or
two years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:06:13):
Carr and David hasenhof is where time started, isn't it?
You can't rewind anymore? This is kind of interesting because.

Speaker 1 (01:06:19):
Oh, is that what BK on time means? I always
thought it was burging, But how now it says year
forty two? BK on money and phones?

Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
Yep, this is kind of this is a mind fuck
because we're doing a preview of our next rewind, so
we're taking a look ahead of the next time we
will take a look back. It's just a little bit.
It's getting in my head. I don't know. I am
going to have us go back and do some more.
Father knows best. We did two episodes. What were the numbers,
you guys said em earlier, is like fifty something, fifty

(01:06:48):
six fifty like that sometime around night writer.

Speaker 1 (01:06:51):
Yeah right, you look at the catalog.

Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
I believe Father nos Bus was like six episodes before. Yeah, yeah,
right around there.

Speaker 3 (01:06:57):
I summer in the fifties of the Boobtoog.

Speaker 1 (01:06:59):
And also again like last Christmas.

Speaker 2 (01:07:01):
Sure, Yeah, will be the fourth Father Knows Best, which
I believe ties it for most coverage with with Bones Bones.

Speaker 3 (01:07:08):
And that's the short term time. Let's be very honest there.
That's not gonna last long, just until Christmas. So what
the episode I have chosen because we all unanimously at
some point, largely because I think Van took this on
his agenda. Where we have we have just catapulted Kathy
to the top. Katha polded Kathy the top of our list.

(01:07:32):
She's among our most revered Boob two Boys characters.

Speaker 1 (01:07:35):
Hall of Famer a car or another Hall of Fame return.

Speaker 3 (01:07:38):
It makes sense that we're going to look back on
the on the grandest of the Boob two Boys characters,
if we're going to take a look back.

Speaker 1 (01:07:44):
And this is another character much like Carr, who's sort
of a force of chaotic destruction in any scene that
she appears in.

Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
Yeah, and I think actually in this episode Kathy even
says that same philosopher lying in this you know that
that movable object thing. Yeah, she quotes that verbata.

Speaker 1 (01:07:59):
People loveilosophy in the fifties.

Speaker 3 (01:08:01):
This episode is called Kathy Makes Magic because I did
have to Cen it around Kathy. It's season two, episode seven,
so we're staying kind of in the same territory of
the two we did. We didn't get to and still
will not do any of the later Father Knows Best
when when Bud was not fifteen.

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
We may get there one day.

Speaker 3 (01:08:20):
Maybe it could have happened, because it went for like
seven or eight seas whenmember.

Speaker 1 (01:08:23):
We become just a bones Father Knows Best hybrid podcast.

Speaker 3 (01:08:26):
I prefer the firmly in the fifties bones he does now.

Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
Jim would too, I know everything.

Speaker 3 (01:08:36):
I prefer firmly fifties Father Knows Best. I just didn't.
I don't want to get where they start getting into
the sixties. I just don't.

Speaker 1 (01:08:43):
I don't want to sit some hippies. I don't want
to want to see Bud go to Woodstock.

Speaker 3 (01:08:48):
So we stuck to the early part. This episode aired
October twelfth, nineteen fifty five. The Good Old Days and
a real short synopsis. Kathy thinks she's put a magic
curse on Bud. I'm just going to leave it at
that because it's interesting. We don't know what that's going
to entail, but that is the entirety of the episode.
It's very breezy, it's very fun. It's very kathy racist.

(01:09:10):
We'll get to it. It's a fifties, of course, it
is inevitable.

Speaker 1 (01:09:14):
Well so we're going to be traveling back to the
mid fifties next week as a matter of fact, but
that is going to take seven days. Van, you've been
building the time machine? Is that correct?

Speaker 2 (01:09:23):
Oh, it's already done.

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
Okay, well see you.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
It doesn't work.
