Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Christopher Media. Let's make some noise from Asthma Corr Studios
near Detroit, Michigan. It's the Weedsman Podcast. And now you
have smoked yourself retarded. He're the Weedsmen.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
You want to get hot.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Welcome to the Weedsman Podcast. I'm Chris, I'm Aaron.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Welcome back.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yeah, you're back.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
I'm back. Yeah. We had to skip another week because
of illness.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Long illness.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah, I got who knows what I mean, what's the
point in testing for like whatever you're going to get
sick with? Anyway.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
I have the.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Ability to work from home, and uh, you know, I
just had everything delivered and just didn't didn't worry about it.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Sure it's expensive for you.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Actually just I went. I had just gone like that Sunday,
so it's two days before I I got sick. I
went to BJ's, which is, you know, one of these
membership clubs, and I signed up for the good deals
on gas and man doesn't pay for itself. I had
loaded up on food, so I was quite lucky to

(01:17):
have like tremendous amounts of like decent food and you know,
perishable stuff that I was like, I got to eat
it anyway, I just didn't have an appetite for most
of the period though. That was the most brutal part
of it.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
I mean, I'm guessing it's COVID because of how long
it lasted, right, But it was just it was like
it was like four days of flu and then just
the long tail of like can't really eat, no energy,
just you know, had a low grade fever that would
pop back up.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
You're a low energy individual.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yes, So I did have a few things delivered. I
mean I still ran up a tab. The most extravagant
was there's this like smoothie place that does wraps and
stuff like that. It's all fresh and shit, and it's pricey,
just pricey in person.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
So yeah, I ordered from door Dash.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Oh god, so he spent fifty dollars on a rat smoothie.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Oh I did, And it was so good. It was
the best thing I'd eaten in a week. I and
I I purpose, I mean, I could have went for
the twelve dollars smoothie. But then as I'm scrolling through
there's like an eighteen dollars smoothie that has like all
this like tumeric and shit thrown in and it's supposed
to be like, you know, specifically for your immune system

(02:36):
and boosting and mannon. I felt awesome. That was like
the best eighteen dollars I had spent. I also got
shipped from my Eric.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Five dollars milkshake from pulp fiction looked fucking cheap, by.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
The way, Yeah it does, but it was. It was
so good. I actually want one right now.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Like the twenty twenty five version would be travolta Lenophoorbi,
did you just order an eighteen dollars smoothie?

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah, I'd be like, I'm sick, let me alone. Yeah,
I did have to order. I ordered from like through
door Dash again. I got stuff from myer just to
get some basic groceries. I'll get some fruit and stuff
like that. That was a mistake. Don't don't door dash groceries.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
And well, I know anytime I've gotten groceries delivered, I've
learned leave the perishables out of it. They're dummies. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
The whole court of strawberries, that half were green and
the rest were rotten. I'm like, how did you did
you cherry pick the like? How did that even work?

Speaker 3 (03:34):
No? They're just some twenty something who goes, oh the strawberries, stubby, Yeah,
just good enough.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
I got blackberries and they didn't even include the blackberries.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
No, I've learned if you're gonna get any groceries.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
But they're like, that's very funny. That's a phone. Nobody
uses those anymore. Very such thing as blackberries.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Let's go through BlackBerry time machine.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, so most of it, most of the time was
just watching TVs, TV shows, movies. That was all I
could do. I couldn't even like, I couldn't concentrate enough
to read. Uh. You know, you listen to podcasts, but
then you just sit there and stare at the ceiling, right,
you know, maybe do a puzzle until your brain stops working,
and then you're like, God, damn it.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
We'll put them through my Roku. So they're on my TV.
They're just coming through the Oh yeah, you know, eat
the thing on the sea.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
I need I needed visual stimulation, you know, I was
going stir crazy and I needed I needed to just
I get it.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
Yeah, at some point, you want to you want to
see something on the screen move.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, So I what and plus, uh, Netflix is raising
their prices again and it's becoming less and less valuable.
To me, it seems it seems like there's like a
direct relation. Every time the prices increase, there's like all
the less shows that I'm actually watching on it. It's
only because I have both my daughters and a probably

(04:57):
still uh watching it, and they would, you know, whine.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
I am down to Hulu and Peacock. But that really
contains anything I watch for those two services. Yeah, Hulu
and Peacock.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah. Netflix is Oh they still get they still knock
some shows out of the park, but they don't even
it just gets buried in shit. I mean I I
watched The Madness, which was an excellent show. I really
enjoyed it, and I had never heard of it because
it's like one of twenty shows that Netflix had released

(05:34):
in that month, and it wasn't I think, Well it
was from last year. I don't know how long ago.
Maybe it was later in the year. Maybe it's not
as old as I thought, But that was that was
a good show. What else did I watch? Well, they
had Saturday Night the Isn't that what it's called? Is
it called Saturday Live the Saturday Night Live Movie? Yeah,

(05:55):
it's any good. Yeah, it's good. It's fun. I mean,
it's barely a movie because it's about like we're gonna
make this TV show and we don't really know what
it is. That's the whole thing, right, And there's you know,
there's little bits of story here and there of relationships
of like you know, what's uh uh? I can't remember

(06:18):
anybody's name at the moment, so produce. Let's start at
the town the producer of Saturday at Live.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
That's something.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yeah, Beth is who I'm trying to think of. But
who am I who? What name? I'm literally coming up
with nobody's name. No, the main guy, Michaels, thank you, Yes, yeah,
I mean there is hints that, like, what's his relationship
with this woman who he's married to but like has
known since they were kids and kind of have an

(06:47):
open relationship and doesn't use his last name, the very
very kind of post hippie relationship that they have. But
that's not the story there. You don't get it. You
just get flashes of that. I mean, and it's a
complete I was going to say pastiche, but that would
be like different media, Like this is a collage. This

(07:08):
is taking stories that people know from SNL maybe or
maybe not. No, I mean I think most of this stuff,
isn't that crazy? Just us knowing being fans of SNL
growing up, not even you know, being old enough to
have seen the original seventy stuff, but we still grew
up with it. You know, they replayed that shit all

(07:30):
the time, so we saw the mister Rogers.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Now, what I'm hearing from you is what I've heard.
This is the gripe I've heard against it is it's
trying to put a bunch of things that happened over
a few years into like ten minutes, so to speak,
on like the real timeline. Yeah, and they said they
make Carlyn look like a prima donna and and he's not.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah, that's the that's a problem with that because you
have you can say, if you say this is one night,
and you try and stick to that, then Carlin can
be an asshole for a night. So what like he
anyone could be an asshole for a night on a
night where you're going to open a show where you
don't really know what the fuck's going to happen, right,

(08:19):
any any character in there, of so many of them
of which act like assholes, it can be forgiven because
this is one night. But it's not one night. We
know that these are stories that take place over here,
So then it becomes tricky. Is it they're all assholes
because those are the stories that stick? Or are they

(08:39):
all assholes because that was the fact.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
You know, The thing I'm sure of is Chevy Chase
is a dick because that is having corroborated for five decades.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
Now, and he probably comes off the best in this.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Really.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yes, I think it's because you just like he's smug.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Cause I remember when it came out they asked him
if he was gonna go see it. He was like no,
and then gave some like dick answer why he wasn't
gonna go.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
He he doesn't do. He's smug and he acts like
an kind of an asshole, but like he's he's being
told by the network, you know you're in this like
doing us a favor, but like we're looking at you
as like the next Johnny Carson and stuff. Yeah, and
then his as much of a story as he gets

(09:31):
is that Milton Burl shows up played by h. JK. Simmons.
He does a great fucking job and he and he
even whips it out.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Do they talk about his giant penis?

Speaker 2 (09:45):
They don't just talk about it. He whips it out
in front of Chevy. He's actually so like I think
the studio kind of pairs them up to charm Chevy Chase, like, hey,
you know you're gonna meet you know, mister whatever, mister
Hollywood is that what they would call him? Uncle Milty?

Speaker 3 (10:04):
And he was old when I was a kid. Yeah,
he was old school then.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
So I think they kind of pair him up to
like Movese Chevy, like we're gonna like really impress this
guy and bring out, you know, our main peacock, Milton
Burrell and yeah, and Milty ends up stealing Chevy's girlfriend.
And then when when Chevy calls him on, and he's

(10:30):
just like, what do you really want to have any
kind of you know, dick measuring contest with me, but
either physical or right or metaphorical. So, I mean, he
actually has the most sympathy I think from the viewers,

(10:51):
at least from my perspective. But it wasn't that interesting
because it wasn't really a plot. It was just things
that happened in the movie that may or may not
have happened in real life. It's just a bunch of
I mean, the story this movie is made up of rumors.
It's not even like somebody's book that they like took

(11:14):
and tried to it's picking the craziest parts from everybody's book,
and those are usually the most memorable things too. I
remember George Carlin was mostly nice, but there was one
night where he was a complete freak and an asshole.
And here's the story, and it goes into the book
and now it's in the movie, and I get that problem.

(11:36):
You know, I'm a fan of George Carlin, and I
don't know what he's like as a person seventy five,
but I do know, yes, I do know that, Like
if there's any period where George Carlin was going to
be an asshole, this was bullseye. Yeah, this was the
heart of it. Yes, But everybody's performances were rate. And

(12:01):
just as it's I mean, it's not long, it kind
of zips by. It's an hour and a half movie.
It kind of you know, it's it takes place in
real time, so you know, the movie opens, We've got
ninety minutes until we go to air. Yeah, I mean,
like cousin Craig what's his name, Oh yeah, he does

(12:23):
two roles?

Speaker 3 (12:23):
Who is he?

Speaker 2 (12:24):
He does Jim Henson cool, and he does god what's
his name? The here I come to save the day,
Handy Coffin thank you.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
I could see that too. Oh that's cool.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
That was and he yes, yeah, you're right, yeah yeah,
the record player thing. I just got to bring up
the cat because I mean, this is too much for
my drug ed old brain here. Gabrielle LaBelle was Lorne Michaels.
He was great. I mean, everybody was great in it, honestly,
Corey Michael Smith, this guy played Chevy Chase, Ella Hunt

(13:04):
as Gilda Radner Guilda, the women who played Gilda and
Lorraine Lorraine Newman who was played by Emily Fairn. They
were fan fantastic. They were probably the most convincing in
their performances. Dylan O'Brien as Dan Ackright was good. Matt

(13:24):
wood is John Belushi was great.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
I don't even know any of these people.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Garrett Morris was played by Lemarne Morris, but I'm wondering
if they're actually related. Belushi's whole story in it is
is he going to sign his contract and actually be
on this show? The idea of like selling out? You know,
is he going to be you know, a real comedian

(13:50):
and is he or is he going to be some
clown in a bee costume on TV? Because they got
to put him in the bee costume because you know
there's bees in the first step in the first episode
of Saturday or not. I mean, this is how ridiculous
it gets too, because you're like, well, I know the
bees didn't come to late, like okay, but so you

(14:13):
I mean you definitely have to actively suspend your disbelief
to enjoy it, you know, I mean spoiler alert, he
signs the contract and he's on the show. Yeah, because
like there's no suspense in that plot line anyway, because
like we know he was on this phe unless you're
Quentin Tarantino and you're gonna have him walk off and

(14:34):
have some alternate timeline history where he goes on to
like not die of a drug overdose or something. Yeah,
like we know at least how this much is true.
And on top of that, though we have no time
to explore what's going on in Belushi's mind and this
of what he's actually we just have to assume, right

(14:56):
he's torn up about this, He's not sure if he
wants to be a clown on TV. Okay, why I
don't you know, who cares? We've got too much movie
to flow through. And in that way, it's a fan
service movie. It's like when they talk about these Marvel
movies where there's all this stuff that they put into

(15:20):
enrich it, but it only makes sense to people who
are understand that Iron Man's this, and Captain America is that,
and Thora's this, and it assumes that people are going
to bring all that with them to the story, which
is not how good stories are told. That's how paper
thin stories that you just can make, you know, an

(15:41):
hour and a half piece of entertainment with maybe is
but for anybody who like, how would I show this
movie to my kids? And what would they think of it? Okay,
so in the seventies comedians, we're all fucking drug addled
sex up maniacs. Yeah maybe, yeah, I mean, and there
has to be more to it than that, because it's

(16:03):
not we're interested in the stories of these you know,
drug fueled sex crazy.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
It's the best period of time. According to Adam Carolla,
were right appreciated.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
This is what's the point I'm making. There were a
lot of people in that era who were drug fueled
sex crazed maniacs. We don't tell stories about them, why
because who the fuck are we don't care? We want
to hear about the people who are making this great,
crazy art that lasts to this day, these pieces of

(16:35):
original entertainment that you could like, it's almost made for
today's society, where you can just pull it up on
YouTube and oh, you guys never seen the bees, you know,
And you could show that to that. I could show
to my kids now and they would probably laugh. But
even if they didn't, they wouldn't go, what the fuck
is this? They'd be like, Okay, I get it. It's comedy, right,

(16:55):
this is something I recognize. It wasn't something that people
immediately recognized at the time. This movie. I can't do that, right, Yeah,
I can't go to the movie with my kids and
nudge him when he shows up on the beat cost
and be like, you know what that's all about? And
they're like, well maybe I do, maybe I don't, but
so fucking what what do they say? Like, Yeah, this

(17:15):
movie is nothing but fan surface, This is nothing but like,
oh we love all these characters. Wouldn't be great to
see him come back to life again, because, like so
many of her are fucking dead too. Yeah, it would
be great, but like give us more than that, I guess.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
But actually that original cast well blue only when it's dead,
they're all still alive. Jane kurtsillive, Dan Akers.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Alive, gild Is dead.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
Oh god, damn it, you're right. Never mind, she was
the second one to die.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
I thought Lorraine Lewman's dead.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Oh didn't she like just die?

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Yeah, like recently, I mean that long ago.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Jane Curtain, she's alive, okay. And Andy Kaufman's dead.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
Well, he wasn't a cast member though.

Speaker 5 (17:59):
Well.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yes, the people that they portray in the movie are
mostly dead, though. George Carlin I more than half, I.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Would say, never mind strict my comments from the record.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Maybe not more than half. But all that being said, yeah,
I mean, pop it on it. Like Matthew Reese says,
as Carlin is actually great as little as he is
in the movie, He's like really really good in it. Everybody,
everybody does a great job in it, except for the
person who wrote or then approved the actual script. That's

(18:33):
my biggest beef is with what's his name, rightman?

Speaker 3 (18:38):
Jason rightman? Yeah, Well, do you want another reason to
like Questlove, it's sure.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
I mean, I don't know if I do need one.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
But well, while we're talking about SNL, it just came out.
I think, like this week. It's a documentary about fifty
years of SNL music. I just there's a video component.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
But the fucking I thought Divo is going to be
in that.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
But the just just hearing this montage that he put
together is crazy. Questlove put this together. This is a
montage of fifty years of musical guests.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Okay, so he's got a whole band, He's gonna do
a little oh no, no no oh, He's.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
They edited like the editing and gentleman just as an editor.
This whole thing is amazing interesting. All the music in
here is from live performances Saturday New.

Speaker 6 (19:35):
York electricity, iconic musical history, game changing for a network show.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
Here we go ex.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Absolutely and you're not He's going pull girl talk on

(20:08):
this ship. And to do this with like all these
live performances.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
With video and sound is the impressive space.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah, he had to have help's Nelly and Franz Ferdinand
that I guarantee you. There's probably like dozens of people
who work on this, but like it was this quest love? Right,
but still somebody has to like put this together and performance, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Calling oats.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
That's fun and matching up all the video like that too.
It is really cool you think they did, like I'm

(21:10):
not hearing anything like sounded like it was pitch shifted either, like.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
I've heard this this is all.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yeah, Queen and Dave Matthews. Yeah, just so you can

(21:39):
hear the difference between the two baselines, you know, the
dom and the doom Doom Doom doom. All right, Michael
Bolton made that's awesome question, man, Okay, is three times

(22:14):
that we've heard from this song, right.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
Alright?

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Read earlier to the corners more saying are you.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
Am j Prince?

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (22:58):
Is that Prince?

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Ye?

Speaker 3 (23:00):
Young ass Prince?

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Was it? Oh? It's super freak underneath that there you go? Okay, Yeah,

Speaker 7 (23:28):

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Right, Bill the Eyelish Boner, what's the Oh that's the
songs called.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
I call him?

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
I news for the kids is Billy Eilish and Olivia
Rodrigo Because I guess the last ten years did happen.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
For a They just wrapped up the agency on age
on Showtime, which is great Michael Fastbender. But the theme
is uh you Two. It's Jack White doing uh love
is blindness? The You Two song, It's just it's the
worst thing I've ever heard.

Speaker 6 (24:29):
That's all.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
The still good man nice did? How did we never
put that together? The striver and that song are basically
the same. It's not the same.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
As being And then after this they start sucking SNL's cock.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
That was fantastic, That's what I'm saying. Man. Do you
see uh? Do you see Jack Whites? Uh pedals and
ship like they had nam this uh last weekend the
which is the big expo where uh you know, companies
released their new products, companies that you know have in
the musical instruments recording stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Jack Whites got pedals? Do they cost ten bucks? Like
the real ones he probably used used to use?

Speaker 2 (25:34):
I should say, uh from most of what I well,
he's had some out for a while. They're really affordable,
little three and one kind of skinny.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
Guy it should be.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
You've heard his tone, right, yeah, and uh yeah, it's
just like uh, I think it's overdrive fuzz and then
like a delay unit or something like that. I can't remember.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
He is definitely in or I should say the White Stripes,
because are definitely in the category of it's how they
played it, not what they were playing.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Because yeah, like I feel like a lot of people,
I'm iffy on Jack White. I think, I mean, I
think he's a great artist, just like stuff.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
I like from him is not the White Stripes. It's
like the Dead Weather or the rack On Tours.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Rack On tours are better.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
Yeah, Like I've always first referred to rack on tours
as the White Stripes. With a competent drummer in a
rhythm section.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
I will never I also have Brendan Benson in there, like,
he's a great songwriter and singer too.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
And I know you you you set yourself up to
get rockstone at you in the public square. I will
never ever say Meg White is a good drummer. I
have ears and I was a student of music. Yeah,
it was good for what they were doing.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
But how do you feel about I know we've talked
about his tone, but like, do you feel like Jack
White is deserving of guitar our god status?

Speaker 3 (27:01):
Yes? Again, when it comes his work not in the
white stripes.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
But I like, just as a guitar player, you think
he's an original soloist that like, yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
I think he's He's like, yeah, is he technically the
greatest guitar player ever? No, but he's a good songwriter
and he's yeah, he's he's good.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yeah, I mean fucking from Hendrix?

Speaker 3 (27:25):
Was how you play it?

Speaker 2 (27:26):
Hendricks? People think of him as like the greatest guitar
player ever, Like, was he technically bring up Hendricks?

Speaker 3 (27:32):
But I was like Jack White Hendricks are not the same.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
They're not.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
But it's because technically Andricks could teach Jack White a
few things.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
I'm sure, I'm sure, but it wasn't. It wasn't the
technical ability that they can that people connected.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
They're both in the category of it's how they.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Played, Yeah, they did. A Fender had an official release
of his signature triple Caster, which was like a Frankenstein
guitar that he's used for years and this has you've
seen the pictures of it. It's just has it's a telecaster,
but it's got three pickups on it and they're all

(28:12):
covered by white, big white plastic covers, and it's got
a bunch of like extra electronics on it.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
Pick up in the top two strings on his guitar
or bass strings.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
I don't know, No, I think you're right, he's got
there's so much going on in this thing. It's like
partially scalloped. There's like, you know, a section above the
blow above below the twelfth. We say it on either side,
there's a little section above and below the twelfth where
they like scalloped out.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
The beginning of seven Nation Army. Everyone thinks that that's
not a right right, right, Yeah, it's it's his guitar.
He's got bass. He's got a guitar where the top
two strings are bass strings.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yeah, yeah, I think, well, this is like a six string,
it's just normal. Yeah. I think he's got like an
octaveer that he can activate for just two pickups. Basically
that's built into it, so he's he can take those
without having to like de tune it all weird and
just put a sub octave on that ship and make

(29:13):
it sound like a big fuzzy bass but on just
you know, just those pickups.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
I mean, that's a that's a song they got that's
got anything close to a pocket and the producer probably
went meg just one two three four, Just hit one
two three four?

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Which which song were we talking about?

Speaker 3 (29:29):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Seven Nation Army, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
Just hit the base on one, two three four. Its
you gotta do. I'd like follow the click.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
I like a lot of that white stripe stuff more
than anything, honestly, because I'm not bothered by Meg's drumming,
and I think that the records just have their own
group either.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
I'm bothered when people try to say she's good, for sure,
but if anything, she's competent.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
I mean their best ones, the best ones are just
like what is it? Uh? What's the button to button song?
Another button a button.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
Or something like that hardest button the hardest.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Button to button this morning?

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Yeah, that's the other one's close to the pot again
for a bag. Just hit the basebup four times and
I can't. Also, I can't hear that song anymore without
thinking of the Simpsons.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
What the Simpsons do they had when when.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
They bought Bart the drum set. We've played that on
this show.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
Oh yeah, they do the video with like the walking
kit and it goes up and down the stairs and ship, yeah,
and the stacked amps. That's uh. Michelle Gondry did that
video for them. Who, Uh did you know? He directed
uh what was the Jim Carrey movie where he has
his memory of his girlfriend taking out of his brain

(30:41):
sunshine Yeah, spotless mind, Yeah, that one. But he also did,
uh what were the shell He did the Daft Punk
video where they're going up and down the stairs, around
the world, Around the world. He did the Kylie Minogue
video where she goes around the block go over and
over again, and like every time she does there's like

(31:03):
another version of her on.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
I guess it can't get you into my head because
it was like.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
She had two songs and then went back to Australia.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
Well no, because she had a hit in like the
late eighties with the Local Yeah. Yeah, you never heard
from her again until that song. Yeah twenty years later,
like what, I don't even know, like from the.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Eighties, Yeah she got I mean, I don't know how
famous she stayed in Australia, but uh, I think what
happened was techno in the nineties was, you know, still
an underground thing, even though there were like you know,
mainstream artists, and there was definitely influence that was coming

(31:47):
into pop music, but nobody really knew who like the
real techno producers were even in Detroit, like the people
who knew were the were the DJs and producers who
knew and the kids who went to the parties, and
then even only ten percent of those kids actually knew.
But it was really big outside of the US. Germany

(32:09):
and Australia were two parts where like two areas where
electronic music like blew up in major ways, where it
wasn't just influencing popular music. It was popular music, right,
This was like people were listening to this shit.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
That's right. Yeah. Did she have a hit in the
nineties too somewhere.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
And so I think she. I think it was that
techno influence that then when by the late nineties was
like it was hitting the charts. You know, you had
actual you had songs on the radio that you're like, wow, there,
this sounds like house music, you know. And Kythie Minogue
was part of that. I Can't get You out of

(32:50):
My Head And what was the other big song that
she had. They were just basically house music tracks that
were pop music.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
Oh now that's going to kill me because I know
there's a third one in there.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
I bought two of her albums. I quite enjoyed them.
There they were really good.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
Love it first Sight.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
There's one that she did like post two thousand and two,
like Magic.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
I feel this might be the song because it's got
a ton of plays. Nope, Well, can't get you out
of my head at seven hundred and thirty nine million plays,
Oh this is third Love at first Sight? Is second
seventy two million plays? Nope, don't recognize it.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
Yeah, no it's I think that's the daft punk producer.
I don't think they're ripping daft punk. I think that
is daft punk. You hear that Matt Penfield had a
massive and debilitating stroke. I did former MTV VJ.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
He was old when we were teenagers? What is he now?
Seventy five? I don't like he was forty when we
were like in ourteen sixty three Well then he presented
forty when we were in nineteens. Yeah, Matt Penfield, Well
that's like almost twenty years older. He was.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
He was the guy that like we were like, why
is this old guy on one hundred and twenty minutes? Like, yeah,
I thought we weren't supposed to trust anybody over thirty.
If this guy doesn't know who jawboxes?

Speaker 3 (34:40):
Was he a DJ? Or something like how did you
get that gig?

Speaker 2 (34:43):
I think so, but you know, turns out he was
probably the one who knew that shit better than anybody else,
And I think that's what got him on that show,
is that he actually did know his shit and didn't
just look alternative. Plus you have to have some weird looks,
like he's in Huskadoo, right he.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
Was rocking a bald head for the bald head was cool. Yeah,
it was like him and Bruce Willis at the time.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
That was the thing too, like the pin and Pinfield
and the bald head. Like, I don't know, I mean,
he just there's just too many jokes that could be made.
But I guess now it's not the time, right because
the poor guy's not doing so great. Uh ninety five
to ninety nine he was one hundred and twenty minutes guy, Yeah,

(35:28):
I guess so, Like I guess I guess by the
end of that, I had stopped watching MTV altogether.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
Yeah, but I.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Wanted, like, who was the host before that? Did they
did they have a regular host for one one hundred
and twenty minutes trying or did they rotate people through?
Is it like all have Kennedy do it this week
or something.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
I know somebody who would know the answer to that,
but he's probably not awake at this time.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Really, your Google sleeps probably just went to bed.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
Oh that's true, somebody who watched MTV and especially stuff
like that at the time.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
No, I just I'm being an asshole, And I like
your line of thinking because that's for answers like this.
It should be like phone a friend, not like look
at a list. Right, But now that I've been an asshole, I'm.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
Going Google shame me.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Okay, here it is the wiki list.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
I want to say it was Kennedy.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Nope, at no point. I mean, I'm sure I want
to say that she's like guest hosted or something. But yeah,
uh what how far back does it go? That's the
first question. Nineteen eighty six to two thousand and three
is the span of the show one hundred and twenty minutes.
And yeah, it looks like there's no Maybe there's a

(36:49):
couple of years where they didn't do a show in
like the twenty tens. But okay, so it starts with
Kevin Seal. I don't remember Kevin Seal at all. Dave
Kendall Lewis Largent, then Matt Pinfield and then Jim Shearer. Yeah,
well I barely remember Dave Kendall only know one of

(37:10):
those dudes. Was that the one that you knew?

Speaker 3 (37:13):
Pinfield? Oh? End of list?

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Yeah, I just have like, what are these memories where
I'm picturing like a female host of the show. At
some point they must have had like people rotate in
at some or maybe I'm just yeah, maybe I feel
like I've.

Speaker 3 (37:30):
Learned Kennedy in an episode or two.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
You know, they did have guest hosts, but those were
usually like they'd have, you know, musicians come in. And
of course we lost David Lynch recently too. Yeah, that
was a rough one, but not a surprise to anybody
who's seen the man, because if you've seen the man,
you've seen him smoke.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
Because I feel they buried the lead on him. You
do the math. He smoked for seventy years. He says
he started smoking when he was eight.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Now that point has been well made by people that
are like, you know, because the first thing people are, oh, well,
there you go, see, don't smoke. Don't smoke for seven like,
the man smoked more than anybody else, and he outlasted
the average.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
Yeah, he made it two years past.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
Yeah, I made two years two years longer. He like
it means not. And that's not to say that like
you should smoke, because it doesn't matter like it does.
I'm still addicted to nicotine through this fucking vape, but
I feel a lot better than when I was a smoker.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
Yeah. I've tried to explain to people, like, you shouldn't
do that, and I've tried to be like, okay, listen,
do it for your health now. I don't do it
because you're afraid of something in twenty years. I tell them, like, okay,
I will give you that the science is still out
on this. If you give me, like when I wake
up in the morning, guess what I don't do hawk

(38:54):
something into the fucking toilet. Guess what I don't have
anymore a smoker's cough. Guess what I don't get anymore
a respiratory infection at the drop of a fucking hat.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
But it's the it was anti smoking campaigns that made
it so difficult to talk about because it's like, you know,
we can't just can't you just say don't you want
to feel healthier when you wake up in the morning
and not it's going to kill your kids because the second.

Speaker 3 (39:22):
Hand doctor Drews was saying it for years. It's not
like it does atine. It's the delivery system. Nicotine is
not what gives you cancer. Anytime I hear someone says
nicotine gives you cancer, say no, it does not. It's
all the other shit. What they give you with the
nicotine is what gives you the cancer. Nicotine is in
the same category with caffeine, and we we we mark

(39:44):
a caffeine as we have shit with double the caffeine
in it. Here, drink this. There's a lot of caffeine
in it.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
They want to label alcohol now as carcinogenic.

Speaker 3 (39:55):
Well it does, Like I read about that, there are
sure it does his cancer. It's not like it's not
may cause cancer. It's like, oh no, it causes cancer.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
I lost an aunt recently pancreatic and they said that
it's probably the drinking.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
And I hope RFK even though he stumbled yesterday gets confirmed.
I love What was everything he's saying about food?

Speaker 2 (40:21):
What was yeah? What was the stumble?

Speaker 3 (40:25):
Just apparently he didn't do so hot in his answering
questions yesterday and first hearing.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
Yeah, well the guys hard to understand, that's the easy joke.
And the people asking the questions are idiots and one
hundred years old, he.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
Was asked about them, like all the manusia, some of
the minutia of medicare. And I'm sitting there thinking, like,
do you know this stuff here? Do you know answer
to the question you're asking? But no, But the example
is not trying to get hired based on his knowledge
of the current and system.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
Yeah, his ability to overhaul it is what we're more
curious about.

Speaker 3 (41:06):
And I finally heard the example. He talks. He talks
about French fries. He's like, you go to Canada, French
fries got three ingredients, right, like potatoes, oil, salt. He's like,
come to the United States, there's nine ingredients. Why what
are we doing Everything he's saying about food, I'm loving
because I've learned about food in the last.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
That's just like, yeah, that's just looking for ways to
tweak the addictive components of the recipe. Yeah, and Canadians
are just like what people love fries? Right, you don't
have to fucking lace them. People just eat them left
and right. We come up with new words for dishes
that are just fucking fries with gravy on it, and

(41:48):
make it the fucking national treat.

Speaker 3 (41:50):
Which, by the way, poutine right. Like I've always been
on the since I discovered gravy with French fries. It's yeah,
people I ordered on people be like, what what are you? Canadian?
Look at me like I'm a weirdo. And my answer
was always to them, like do you like mashed potatoes
and gravy? And you know, ten out of ten the

(42:11):
answer is yes. I'm like, this is handheld mashed potatoes
and gravy. Like what is What's I don't understand what
the aversion is.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
I think it's a color, right, isn't it. It's it's
like kind of a grayish gravy.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
That's the main problem of the poutine you're eating now
I've said brown gravy on it.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
I meant to get to this earlier because we were
talking about nam and one of the I've been looking
into some of the very cool gear that was coming
out of the show, but this one has to be
one of the more interesting and unique.

Speaker 8 (42:46):
Okay, I'm Steve Gablin, the creator of the fart Pedal,
the guitar effects pedal that turns your guitar noises.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
Who sounds like my friends from Tim and Eric.

Speaker 7 (42:57):
I wonder what the hell is?

Speaker 3 (42:58):
Well, it's a fart. My question is who is this for?

Speaker 2 (43:02):
Just listen? This is all legit to like this is
this is the noise the pedal makes?

Speaker 3 (43:12):
Just gotta harp.

Speaker 8 (43:15):
We launched the part pedal about three and a half
years ago and have since followed it up with a
few fun very why.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
Over the last he seriously sounds like Tim Hideker's.

Speaker 8 (43:29):
Pouring the intersection of the musical farts and sciences.

Speaker 3 (43:32):
Well he like he looks like they let himself go.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
If you listen to Tim Hideker's podcast, they do like
stupid fake advertisements like this all the time.

Speaker 3 (43:43):
Musical technology sounds and I think this would be on
Tim and area.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Yes, because who is this for?

Speaker 3 (43:48):
And it's what guitar player is this for?

Speaker 8 (43:51):
I want one the most exciting new feature.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Listen to the Tony gets out of it to You
can pitch track now this is the second version. Before
it was just random.

Speaker 9 (44:03):
Now you can be Now you can the national anthem.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
Like, I get it.

Speaker 5 (44:16):
If I.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
Know kids squelched.

Speaker 3 (44:26):
I know two little kids with this would entertain endlessly.
But Benett, who is this four?

Speaker 8 (44:32):
For a truly unique signature?

Speaker 2 (44:34):
Sin Guy's got a whole line of of them.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
Oh boy, I mean this is funny, but again, who
is this four?

Speaker 2 (44:48):
Just like, come on, man, you're you're a local cover band,
and while everybody else is tuning up, you're not just
going to entertain somebody with sweet smell of my farts.

Speaker 8 (44:59):
And of course we've kept the wet dry toggle so
you can find.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
Oh, the wet and dry toggle. Of course, of you're
squealing honkers.

Speaker 5 (45:06):
Now.

Speaker 8 (45:06):
We are still working on refining the number two, but
with your support, I hope to have this ready to
ship by March of this year, twenty twenty five. And
of course, just like the original Fart Pedal, it's going
to come with crazy, unique, original packaging and some very
collectible swag. The Fart Pedal number two is guaranteed to
provide the ultimate.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
I think report them.

Speaker 8 (45:28):
I cannot wait to see the amazing things that you
create with my number two on your pedal board.

Speaker 3 (45:35):
For who?

Speaker 2 (45:36):
For what I want?

Speaker 3 (45:38):
Musical application does this have? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
I'm honestly I want one, and I honestly do want one.
I don't know if I ever will buy one because
there's so many pedals and pieces of equipment that I want,
But I would I would take like a base synthesizer,
like a three to zero three. I mean, if you
run it through there.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
Now I'm weird. Al I'm ordering like the whole line.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
Yeah, you may have a custom one. I was watching
a video of Leslie Nielsen on Conan with his handheld
little fart device. Have you ever seen him do it?
And you know about this, like he was known for
carrying around this little thing that he could like make
fart sounds in his palm. But it wasn't a whoopee cushion.

(46:26):
It was it looks like a little squeeze box, like
a miniature one, and it's got an opening on one side,
and you just he at what point licks his palm
to wet it and then like just kind of cups
this thing so he can just squeeze it. It's almost
it's the same thing as like I do this sometimes,
you know, do some hand farts.

Speaker 5 (46:47):
Thank you very much for coming on the show. I'm
actually a fan of the naked gun picture because.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
You can get all kinds of good tone out of
that you can get some squeakers.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
Oh, that's right.

Speaker 5 (46:56):
I was working there when you were there.

Speaker 3 (46:58):
That's right. I got you coffee.

Speaker 5 (47:00):
You chewed me out, No you didn't. Now I got
your tea and me out. Now, no, I'm.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
You may have to skip okay, I don't know how.
I don't know that. He like whips it out immediately
he produces the device, so you'll see the visual cue
of like, but go a little bit before that.

Speaker 6 (47:24):
I'm going to give you a symptom to change your life.

Speaker 3 (47:28):
I did too. I've had nothing but laugh.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
So you don't carry this around because he for about
thirty seconds before that, he's just using the thing, and
he doesn't say anything. And they're both alike, are you
seriously farting on here?

Speaker 5 (47:43):
It's not a comedy acts as though this is deadly serious.

Speaker 6 (47:46):
The director. The thing is that we know that we're
being funny, but you can't letter the audience know for
one second that you're trying to be funny, not for
one second. Although I will do almost anything I can
for a laugh.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
He crossed his legs.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
Yeah, he sells it well.

Speaker 6 (48:06):
I said almost. I didn't say I would do anything
for a laugh.

Speaker 5 (48:10):
What have you got there, attle.

Speaker 6 (48:14):
Person, you'd like to see see it? That's what I
have there?

Speaker 3 (48:21):
It is right there.

Speaker 5 (48:23):
What the hell are you doing? What is the what
is the let's show this?

Speaker 3 (48:27):
You heard the rude noises?

Speaker 2 (48:29):
That?

Speaker 3 (48:29):
Its how young he looks. It's like a kid.

Speaker 6 (48:35):
Senior golf pro in one night he said, kid, I'm
going to give you a symptom to change your life.
I did too.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
I had nothing but a laugh. So do you?

Speaker 5 (48:44):
You don't carry this around everywhere?

Speaker 3 (48:46):
I do not travel anywhere alone. That goes with me
all over.

Speaker 5 (48:51):
You're a grown man. What are you doing?

Speaker 3 (48:54):
You're a man?

Speaker 5 (48:55):
No? Really, you bring this thing wherever you go?

Speaker 6 (48:58):
Yeah, you never can tell. It all comes in handy,
and you never can tell when there's a certain amount
of pomposity or somebody who's making you players particular role.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
And you if you.

Speaker 6 (49:08):
Just shake hands with somebody's how do you do.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
Tremendous grip?

Speaker 6 (49:20):
It's a defense.

Speaker 5 (49:21):
I'm working so hard, so hard to establish my credibility.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
This has got to be early, now.

Speaker 5 (49:30):
Have you. Now you say you take this everywhere, and
I've actually heard that you do. I didn't really think
you'd take it out here tonight. I was praying. But
but you take this wherever you go have have you
taken it anywhere where you now think it may have
been inappropriate?

Speaker 6 (49:45):
Well, you're always taking a chance, I'll tell you. And
there are when you're doing any kind of comedy, there's
just no way that there's not going to come that
time when you step over the line. But that's because
of the chance you take. And there's just going to
be sometimes actually with this where you seem to step
over the line. And in that case, you know, I say, look,
I'm really playing. I've got a secret. I know I'm

(50:06):
doing like a kind of a practical joke. So I'll
apologize or I'll show the people. Sometimes it doesn't work,
but then you have to please sensitivity. I have a
seminar insensitivity if you.

Speaker 3 (50:19):
Like, and I would I would like to sign up for.

Speaker 6 (50:22):
The insensitivity course downside. You know, sometimes you can be
feeling good and not know it.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
I would go back to this thing.

Speaker 5 (50:32):
No, no, but do women enjoy this show? I'm just curious.

Speaker 6 (50:37):
I'll tell you, like.

Speaker 5 (50:38):
You're on a date and you do that and they
immediately go hear the guy.

Speaker 6 (50:40):
For me, it's the greatest way to find out whether
a woman likes you.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
Or not for who you are, not just for your money.

Speaker 6 (50:49):
That's exactly it accepted for who you are. You put
that hits the nail on him.

Speaker 5 (50:55):
Well, I want you to let Andy hold it for
the remainder of the show.

Speaker 6 (50:57):
Okay, all right, okay.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
Maybe should hit that four X button. H Right, do
you have the the you have YouTube Premium right? Yeah,
so you now have access to the four x speed
so you can watch videos four times faster than.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
Why should we take the time to enjoy anything anymore?
Consume it as quickly as possible. Yeah, you can consume more.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
Oh you know. That was another thing that I was
thinking about Netflix and why. I was like, maybe I
should just watch whatever I've been whatever's been lingering on
this thing, and ax it is. There's actually that some
there's I don't know how this is going to affect
their programming, but the directive is that they need shows

(51:52):
that tell more than show because of the way that
people are consuming Netflix, where they're not really either they're
you know, on their phone, or they just put it
on and then something else happens, or maybe they don't
even like actively watch it at all, but still want
to go back to the office and say, oh, yeah,

(52:14):
I watched Bridgerton. Yeah, what happened in it? I don't
I don't know. I don't remember that, you know. So
now you can have lots of characters say Okay, I'm
coming into the room. Now we're going to have a
conversation about this, this exact thing. This is what this
conversation is going to be about, and this is going
to be the result of it, and anything that happens

(52:36):
on screen must be fully described. I don't know, like
and that's just I noticed at the same time they
were sending me more emails like the ending of the
Madness explained, and I was like, you're sending me I
just watched this show. I watched the ending of it.
It wasn't confusing, it's not a twist, and it's exactly

(53:00):
what should have happened. So why are you sending me
an email that is explaining to Oh, because I watched it,
but you're not sure if I actually watched it. Watched it,
so you want to make sure that I can tell
people that I watched it and yes, I remember what
happened at the end of the show that I didn't
really watch. I just kept falling asleep in front of
or I was, you know, on Twitter the whole time.

(53:21):
So every yeah, every time I wrap up a show
on Netflix, they send me an email like, here's what
happened at the end of the show, just in case
you're a fucking idiot.

Speaker 3 (53:33):
I want you feel left out at the water cooler, man.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
Like the consuming entertainment however you want. But like, there's
most of the stuff that I watch visually. I watch
it because it's fully engaging, right, I have plenty of
entertainment that I can do, Like that's what podcasts are for.
I put a podcast on, I can cook, clean, do
my work, I can play video games, I can do
just about anything else that you know, because the podcast

(53:59):
isn't really acquiring my full attention. If I'm going to
watch a television show or a movie, I'm gonna put
on something that's going to fully engross me. If they're
gonna start producing shows that are gonna talk down to me,
like what is the point of paying for that?

Speaker 3 (54:14):
Oh, I cancel them like three years ago and I
don't miss them, maybe even four and no point if
I gone, Man, I gotta get Netflix again.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
That Skeleton Crew show ended up being a huge disappointment
the Star Wars. Watch it, Yeah, Like it starts out
great and just with every episode just starts going down
a cliff to the point where I couldn't even finish
watching it. Like who Disney Plus was like, you still

(54:44):
haven't watched the rest of this great television. I'm like, yes,
there's a reason I shut it off halfway through. Yeah,
it's so dumb like that. The whole secret of this
planet is that they were to the planet was the
production of gold, these gold credits that were the currency

(55:04):
of the of the Federation, whatever the fuck they were
at the time, you know, And it was basically that
the planet was kept secret by being covered in a
huge storm. People just thought it was just this storm
like Jupiter. You know, it's just like one big storm
on there. There's not even anything in the center, and

(55:25):
there's no reason to even go over there. But it
was all a ruse, right, So these kids get out
and in the ship that they get out of the
planet with, there's these well actually they have these credits
because that's what everybody uses on the planet, right, Everybody
on the planet has no idea that there's anything else outside,

(55:46):
and they just think it's normal to use little gold
bars as money, but like, why do they use them
as money? I don't know. I thought you were supposed
to be producing them to export to for the rest
of the world to use some form of currency, but
apparently they're using it to pay for their lunch money
as well. And there's this group of pirates that are

(56:07):
trying to get to find this planet because they know,
like it's basically unprotected. It's just hidden really well. And
if we find that, we rob all the golden we're
I guess, I.

Speaker 3 (56:18):
Don't know, you're rich, retire from pirate life.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
But you know there's space pirates, but they still have
like eye patches and weird parrots and say yar and
shit like what but why those are kind.

Speaker 3 (56:33):
Of really running with this pirate thing.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
Huh Yeah, they just would not let go. Like everybody's
a fucking pirate. Fucking rcle is in this and he's
a fucking pirate with one eyele you know, he literally
he's in the Jaliel White. You know, he's got his own,
uh cannabis line too. But the show just keeps getting
dumber and dumber and dumber, and then by the end

(56:57):
of it, like so Jude Law is like the you know,
he's a bad guy, but he's pretending like he's a
good guy to gain the trust of the kids when
he realizes where they come from, because he's gonna get
them to take him back to the planet and he's
gonna rob it, right, And so when he gets there,
he disguises himself as like some emissary that's there that'll

(57:18):
like pick up something that's usually done automatically by droids,
but he's there to do it personally, and the droids
are just like, yeah, okay, that's fine, we can't question
you because you're human or something. And even to the
point where like they guide him down into the into
the vaults and show him here's you know, huge, huge
stacks of gold, and he just starts He's on his

(57:41):
knees like cackling with the gold running through his fingers.
He's like one step away from Swan driving into this
thing like Scrooge fucking McDuck, and that everybody is just like, yeah, okay,
I guess this is what they do. Like there's no question,
I mean not even like let's see your credential. Let's
talk to somebody who acts like they've seen money before,

(58:04):
you know, and like, okay, so do you think kids
are dumb? Not only does it you think this is
only should be a kids show, you just think kids
are idiots.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
It was just it was sounds trophy.

Speaker 2 (58:19):
That just disappointing. It was like one of the dumbest
shows that I've seen, and I've watched Tulsa King. Hey, hey,
Booker cat.

Speaker 3 (58:31):
That's Jesus a Booker on my nose.

Speaker 2 (58:34):
This this season of Tulsa King is like, really dumb
that is that is one of the dumbest shows. It's
what constantly kills me about the show is how little
they understand about the cannabis business, right, because what part
of what he does in uh season one is he

(58:58):
comes across the shop and it's this whole thing, Oh
oh you can sell I got guys.

Speaker 4 (59:03):
Yeah you know, I was doing time with the guys
you were doing twenty twenty years and.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
Now you got to So he but then he muscles
his way on in on the business. And this is
Martin Starr who plays the owner of it, and so
he's not playing a tough guy and he's easily like
cowed by this and okay, you can be my you know,
you can offer protection and then he wants to be
a business partner. And uh so in by season two,

(59:33):
like Martin Star has got the most successful cannabis dispensary
in the area and they're having a grand reopening and
it's all swanking there and people are getting high and
there's a recording studio shrugging, and uh it tends to
be And also they're just, I mean, both Martin Star's

(59:56):
character and Stavester Stallone's character are just every time they're
walking through a scene in this place, they're just taking
stuff and putting it in their pockets. Like that's not
how businesses work, Like it doesn't even Yes, the owners
can take it and you will figure it out, but
you still have to like track it somehow. You can't

(01:00:17):
just have things not go missing and go did we
sell it? Did we somebody steal it? Did Sylvester Stallone
put twenty you know suckers into his pocket when he
was in here last time?

Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
People get fired for shortages like that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
Yeah, but they're the most successful own their competition is
like the Triads who are muscling in from New York
and Frank Grillo, who owns his own farm that were
I'm like, guys, I know it's a cannabis business, but
it's like any other business. Guys, have you seen these

(01:00:51):
These are not gangs operating cannabis, So I know people
who operate, own and operate cannabis farms, grow ops, dispensary,
all of it. They're just dudes. None of them are
even like connected with Prime at all, because if they were,
they wouldn't get any other fucking business licenses approved because
they're licensed up the ass to do this shit. Absolutely,

(01:01:14):
And it's just like, do a modicum of research about
what it's like to own a business period and run
and work in cannabis if that's what you want to
be part of your show. Yeah, And it's just so disappointing.
And Martin Starr has like no, I mean, like nobody's
writing good stuff for him to say. They're just like lame,

(01:01:36):
snarky comp like comebacks. And Sylvester Stallone is you feel
like he's like improving a little bit in every scene
because he has to like be the last one to
say something and every scene, oh you said you said
I was old. Oh yeah that was good. You know
that's how it's seen. It can't end on the guy

(01:01:57):
and making a joke on on Sylvester Sloane being it's
got to end on Savester Stallone acknowledging that he got
got and getting the last laughed and maybe a little
punch on the shoulder that it's just a little bit
harder than it needs to be. And uh, and it's
it's the dumbest thing. It's not rooted in reality at all.

(01:02:19):
He goes to a restaurant and takes a woman out,
and there's a his competition knows that he's at the
the guy that he's vuying over the canvas farm with
and all this shit. He knows that he's at the
restaurant that's like his place, and so he sends over
a nice bottle of wine. Yeah I didn't know, Oh sir,

(01:02:41):
it's one of our finest wines, compliments of mister blasom blah.

Speaker 3 (01:02:47):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
It hopes that you and your date have a wonderful
evening tonight.

Speaker 4 (01:02:50):
Oh huh isn't that right? Well, one, you're fine, all right,
I'll tell you what. You bring me two bottles of
your absolute fine and send one to that table over it,
Oh right away, sir? Yeah, how does that work. No,
The waiter says, I'm sorry, this is what was.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
Ordered for you, so you can refuse it order, but
I can't have you run up somebody else's tab with
like eight thousand dollars bottles of wine, three of them,
because you say so like he's literally the waiter says
right away, sir, he at the end, this is the

(01:03:32):
last thing and then we'll wrap up for today. But
part of the plot in season one is he not
knowing that she's a I think ATF agent or something
like that. He hooks up with this woman and she
doesn't know that he's a criminal. I mean he dresses
he's Sylvester Stallone dressed like a gangster, but she has

(01:03:52):
no idea that he's involved in organized crime. And they
sleep with each other and then they find out afterwards,
like we or and so now it's the whole thing
of like, oh this this is going to be like
you know, out of sight, We're going to be clooney
and and what's your name jen for pop star Lopez

(01:04:16):
Lodian Lopez. You know, sexy cop versus sexy criminal. Sure, okay,
So by the that's kind of the stinger on season
one is that he gets arrested for trying to bribe
an agent because of some gift that he had given her.

(01:04:37):
Right I think it was like a million dollars or
something like that, and it was something that he had arranged.
There was like some deal going on, and he managed
to like keep her from knowing about it, but like
got her a portion of it to say thank you
for other things, and she used that as leverage against him,
and and you know, so anyways, the first three episodes

(01:05:00):
of this season are the trial, and he represents himself
because well, and you know, is like within three episodes,
it's not even like there's nothing tense to it, Like
we don't we don't see any of the jury deliberation
or anything like that. We see him act like a

(01:05:22):
lawyer in court, ask ridiculous questions, not be challenged on anything,
and then the jury comes back not guilty and everybody celebrates,
and then we move on with the rest of the season.
I'm like, what was the point of any of that? Hey,
you know, be a lawyer too, That is the point
that is exactly it. It was specially, Hey, you know

(01:05:45):
it will be cool, like all right, we can do that.

Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
Hey, maybe you know he's good at lawyers too. End
of story. I'm good at law. That's what I was thinking,
like doing a mock trial. I think that was story.
I'm good in law. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:06:02):
I mean he doesn't even put up a defense for himself.
He just he puts the woman on the stand, the agent, right,
something the prosecutors.

Speaker 3 (01:06:13):
Do, we have sex and dispense rests.

Speaker 2 (01:06:17):
Right, He's like, she's his special witness. Right, the prosecution
rests their case, and they gives Uster Stallone's character a
chance to you know, have his and before he does,
he's got a special witness that he's gonna call. And
she in walks you know, oh, to the gas to

(01:06:37):
everyone because she walks in from the back of the courtroom.
The agent that accused the person of bribe of trying
to bribe them, right, probably the most likely person, the
first person to take the stand in most cases like
this and say that guy gave me money to do
things for him that were illegal and I didn't do
him and I reported them. Right, But no the prosecution

(01:07:00):
ever asked her to the stand. She's a surprise witness
for the for the defense, and he's they talked about
how many times they slept together.

Speaker 3 (01:07:08):
Did we bang, no further questions, and and.

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
How she she did things that ended up basically saving
his life. Also in season one, she knew that there
was going to be a hit out on him and
she didn't want to see him die, you know, she'd
rather arrest him. So she saves his life, and that's
part of like why he's paying her this money. And
but he's like, well, you know, if somebody saves your life,

(01:07:33):
wouldn't you want to do something nice for him?

Speaker 3 (01:07:36):
Case closed. I'm good it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (01:07:39):
It wasn't a bribe.

Speaker 3 (01:07:42):
It's so anyway, no further question.

Speaker 2 (01:07:46):
The show is dumb as nails, and it's a it's
a Taylor Sheridan show like his other shows are a
lot smarter. Landman was really I mean, it was dumb
in ways that it understood, but it's and it's and
the way the characters acted it all made sense. It's
very smart in that.

Speaker 3 (01:08:06):
I did enjoy the two viral clips from that show,
the one where he talks about drinking, another one we
talks about diesel. Yeah, yeah, tell you what about I
drink six of these? And then tomorrow night you give
me six whiskeys and you tell me.

Speaker 2 (01:08:19):
Yes, he says, he's sober, and he's like, give me
another like whatever, Yeah, make a little vultra.

Speaker 3 (01:08:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:08:27):
Most of the best parts of that show are just
billy Bob swear and god damn man shit.

Speaker 3 (01:08:33):
The first one that went viral was him with the
the what was it the activist going out to the
wind farm, Yeah, and just talking about all of the
fucking diesel it takes to fucking make those things.

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
And yeah, there's uh, there's a drug deal. It goes wrong.
They land a plane on the highway that they built
to transport the oil, and a big tanker comes along
and smacks into it because it's not acting a fucking
prop plane to be on the on the freeway, you know,
unloading a bunch of crates. And so he shows up

(01:09:07):
at the site and the cops and the emergency are
all there, and he's got a plan a route to
He's like, well, oil still got a flow. He's like,
how am I getting around all this? He's like, We're
gonna run a road around there. And he's like, Cops, like,
you can't run a road over there. Why the hell
can't I run on a road around he said, because
there's a bunch of dead drug dealers over there, and
he's like, all right, how about on this side of

(01:09:28):
the road, is there any fucking dead drug dealers over there?
Cop goes, I don't know, and he's.

Speaker 10 (01:09:34):
Like, well, shit, let's go, chick, God damn it, and
it's just everything is like goddamn ship fuck man, all right,
let's go.

Speaker 3 (01:09:45):
You know, I feel I believe that the overall point
of the show, other than the story, you know, story
arcs of the characters, is you can't just say no
more oil.

Speaker 2 (01:09:55):
No, you can't.

Speaker 11 (01:09:56):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
They they hammer it home a little too much, honestly
about how it's in everything. But yeah, we couldn't have
a podcast.

Speaker 3 (01:10:05):
If it wasn't for oil, probably somehow.

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
But are we gonna make all this shit out of wood?

Speaker 3 (01:10:12):
Sure? Fair enough?

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
There's yeah, there's some metal in here, but both shit's plastic.

Speaker 3 (01:10:19):
Fair enough. Yeah, it's true.

Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
Yeah, all right, let's wrap it up, all right.
