from the Mystery Science Theater 3000 reboot on Netflix.
Fantastic job on that show, dude. You are a crow-tee robot!
I told you this, Hampton, right before we started.
Cry Wilderness is perfect. I love that movie, Hampton, right before we started. Cry Wilderness is perfect.
I love that movie.
Jonah does, too.
It's definitely my favorite.
It's a Sasquatch home movie, basically.
Yes.
It's basically a home movie that a group of people made.
Cut with animal stock footage.
Yes.
It's about Sasquatch, who loves Coca-Cola and rock and roll.
Yes.
Hey, now, who doesn't?
Why wouldn't he?
And he befriends a little boy and it's a very fun.
I love the one that we saw live.
Clean adventure.
Oh my God.
So you're not, by the way, you're not just voicing it.
You are writing for it as well.
I also write for it.
Which is so cool.
It's a dream, man.
It's my favorite.
It's like one of my favorite shows.
You grew up loving it.
You write for it, isn't it?
You grew up loving it and now you get to step in and be in it.
Yeah.
And it's like, you would appreciate this, it's just writing jokes.
And the funniest joke usually wins.
You're just happy, you know?
Like, there's never really any reason to fight.
And what a great crew of people, like, all our favorite people.
Jonah.
I know, and it turned out that Joel Hodgson happened to be a really great guy.
You know what I mean?
I just was already like, he's a hero of mine, but then to meet him and like, and then to have to be on really great guy yeah i mean like i just was already like he's a hero
of mine but then they meet him and like yeah and then they have to be on the road for two months

what you went on a tour,
you sold out big theaters,
and you got to make jokes and be funny,
and you knew it was going to be funny every time.
I thought things would fall off the wheels.
At least some gigs would get canceled,
or somebody would get sick or something.
Shows you how much people love it.
By the way, though,
scary to step into a situation
where people have so much love
for the Kevin Murphy's of this world

Here we go. Ready?
This also might be the most honest
and at
moments smartest dumb person
we've ever talked about.
Oh, I'm excited for that.
Honesty can cover a lot, by the way.
The weaving driver might get a few points for honesty.
Judgment, not so much.
Who wrote this?
Real stories from the highway patrol?
I know.
I love it.
It's like Kurt Vonnegut is suddenly writing for a local newspaper.
Now you'd think that the windshield wiper would do all
the work but it's like are we all speaking in local news voice the windshield wiper is supposed
to do the work but it doesn't i also like when they talk directly to me the reader yeah we're
pen pals yeah yeah dear reader how are you i am fine here's a story i was told what is arrow
pointing upwards?
So here you go.
The weaving driver might get a few points for honesty.
Judgment?
Not so much.
Charging papers filed in Pierce County Superior Court.
Give this account.
The man started shoving things in his mouth when a Washington State trooper
pulled him over July 21st at Tacoma Mall Boulevard
on South 78th Street in
Tacoma, Washington.
Asked.
Started shoving the drugs.
No. Asked what he was putting
in his mouth so that he gets pulled over.
Yeah. Just walking up.
Cop just sees him throwing stuff at us.
He's just like, I got a carb load
before prison.
Gotta be the strongest. They alwaysming stuff. He's just like, I got a carb load before prison. I got to be the strongest.
They always say that.
Yeah, carb load first and then punch the biggest guy in the yard.
Ask what he was putting into his mouth.
The driver opened wide to show the trooper it was gum.
That is never going to work.
What?
That means he's been drinking.
Yeah.
He's been drinking.
After finding out why he'd been stopped, the man said, and I just love this, that he was,
quote, just trying to catch up with his peeps.
That is true.
That's too casual.
Just trying to catch up with my peeps.
Got my peeps.
Officer, sir, I'm talking about Easter candy that was waiting for me.
Like, now, what is a peep
who are these peeps wait i have a question for you sir you are an officer in in washington
and yet you have a southern accent did you
give you some homespun wisdom these peeps aren't your peeps These peeps are potential perps.
So far, both of you are doing a Dr. Phil.
Right, we were saying Dr. Phil.
Dr. Phil is the Highway Patrolman Dr. Phil.
Now, Lilsom.
You put them peeps in the microwave
because they'll blow up on you.
They'll blow up on you good.
So are you talking about Easter snacks, Dr. Phil?
No, I'm talking about
your friends you care about your good peeps you care about your peeps i want you to look your
peeps right here in the aisle they're sitting right here there's no better time than the
present that's why this has been gift wrapped for you okay because it's the present i want you i
want you to look your peeps in the eye and i want you to say them peeps peeps say it peeps i do love you i do
well words are wins so that don't mean shit okay
you might say the words that don't mean you mean it by the way i just hearing you say that don't
mean shit i want dr phil on a daytime TV show to be allowed to curse.
Just smoking.
Just be allowed to be real with people.
Well, fuck that, man.
So you come back from breaking his ties.
I was like, well, if you're just joining us, nothing here means shit.
Life is just a bowl of shit.
Foot up on the stool smoking, just doing a Chappelle.
In like short shorts with a ball hanging out.
Y'all, I ain't even bald.
I shave my head like this
because it's more trustworthy.
I told a woman
she couldn't be my girlfriend
because she didn't exercise enough.
Let's come back for a break.
We come back.
We got a couple of real jackasses
joining us.
And to be honest,
I'm going to make them think
I've helped them
over the course of the next 30 minutes.
They're going to go back
to their miserable lives right here on lockfield it's all
shit anyway uh anyway he goes the trooper noted he smelled like booze and asked the man where he'd
been ready for this quote okay the driver looked at him and said, I'm coming from the bar, then drove off.
Oh, so then he just left.
He looks at the cop.
Where are you coming from?
Coming from the bar.
Well, them Duke boys.
That's where it freaks me out.
Got into a whole heap of trouble.
Good enough for me.
Good enough for me.
That guy's awesome.
I'm coming from the bar
then just leaves.
Gotta catch up
with my peeps.
Well, that's some shit.
I guess I'm going
back to the station.
I guess I'll go
fuck myself.
During the chase,
the man flipped a U-turn,
ran a red light,
hit the curb
of a roundabout,
lost a wheel.
Dude, that's some GTA
driving.
And ultimately crashed the vehicle on its top, not too far from where the pursuit started.
Oh, that's just good.
That's just good.
It's literally Duke's hazard.
Because remember I said there's a roundabout.
So that means that cop could have just stood where he was, watched him peel up, hit the
roundabout, lose a wheel, spin out, flip over, and end up right
back where he was.
I want that scene in Super Troopers 2.
So bad.
That is such a great-
Unreal.
Unreal.
See you in hell, copper.
Woo!
All right, I'm back.
You caught me.
You caught me.
You caught me.
All right, look.
You're good.
You're really good.
All right.
You got me, man.
You got me, man.
I know when I've been licked.
I know when there's RoboCop.
I just love that everyone has a Southern accent up in Washington.
Yes.
In Tacoma, Washington.
Oh, by the way, they don't even give us a name for this kid.
We can change it.
I've gone with Dylan.
Dylan is good.
I was going to say Lance, but I like Dylan.
Dylan Cotton.
I don't know why, but that's what was in my head.
Dylan Cotton?
Yes.
So he flips over the car.
He ends up right back where they started he gets out of the
car takes off running hopped a few fences avoided a shot from the trooper's stun gun in the process
okay so he outran a stun gun a taser yes he shot and missed which you know based on the shit this
dude's already said he yelled back at that cop almost got my ass yeah i'm catching up my peeps
hey i just outran that how i left my credit card at the bar how little is he feeling the ground
as he's running like like he's not feeling it at all yeah he's pre-fontana several fences
she yes uh that's superhuman stamina going. But his hiding place behind a garbage can.
Behind.
Not in.
This is like a 1970s cop movie.
Didn't fool Tacoma police officers who showed up to help find him.
And in the end, he then tried to run away and didn't clear the last fence he tried to jump.
Yeah.
If you're a cop there, you're like, I gotta go bad for him.
You gotta get
over that fence i know i mean thank god this body camera was on he needs this yes we're gonna be
playing this at the christmas party what happened when he tried to jump that last fence why he
couldn't do it no the fence broke and he fell into the sidewalk so he like straight down it's like uh
it's like the hurdles like the hundred meter hurdles for another great quote from dylan i want to hear it he lands in the sidewalk cops run up to arrest him he tells
the first trooper quote that he was not the driver and he was running to help the cop find the driver
why not why not i'm helping you you guys don't understand you understand i saw this all happen i'm helping you
i'm not the guy this is citizens arrest this is double jeopardy yes no it's not i'm trying to
catch me it's my looper i'm trying to stop me no i'm on your side it's a me from the future
i'm trying i'm free i get away i want you to know that i'm me from three hours from now i'm trying
to stop the younger me yes he was uncooperative believe it or not when the trooper took him to
have his blood drawn for a toxicology test the charging papers show but the man apparently had
a change of heart on the way to jail and apologized for taking up the trooper's time. I want to hear that conversation. Listen.
That dashboard came.
I am so sorry.
As long as we're here, let me just say.
Well, get it?
If you're going to express yourself, now's the time to do it.
I'm sad about my peeps.
I'm worried that they're not all my peeps.
Do they treat you with respect?
They treat me like a scrub.
Yeah, because I'm going to tell you something right now.
Treat me like a scrub. You were at a bar with to tell you something right now. Treat me like a scrub.
You were at a bar with your friends.
That bar, they all left you there, did they not?
Yeah.
So maybe it's time to take an inventory of the type of people you have in your life,
because maybe they would have taken you with them, could have had a couple of road sodas,
and you don't get arrested tonight.
That's because you chose to bring into your life.
You show me a man's friend, I'll show you his character.
I thought they were my peeps.
They're not. They're not not they're not your peeps and the more you keep referring them as your peeps the less they are
yes all right i'm gonna ask you guys now we're gonna play another round of guess the age so fun
how old is dylan cotton aka we don't know his real name Cotton, a.k.a. We Don't Know His Real Name. Too much fun leaves marks in life.
Living hard, you'll pay the price.
Who is gonna get it right?
Guess the age, guess the age.
You are a guest.
You can go first.
I went first last time, so I hope I'll last.
All right.
Wow.
Jason Sklar.
This is a young guy.
This is a 21-year-old idiot.
21.
I'm going to say 24.
He's young.
Randy Sklar comes in at 24.
Jason Sklar, you said 21?
21.
Okay.
Let's narrow it down here.
Let's say 30.
30?
I think 24 because he still has to have developed relationships with people enough to call them
his peeps.
There's a lot of things.
Okay, yeah.
Peeps feels like a young word.
Peeps is a young word.
Or it could be an older person trying to sound young and cool.
Right.
Also, he ran.
Jumping several fences.
So he's under 40.
He's not 40.
In shape.
We know he didn't jump one.
No, several.
He just kind of ran into and took down one.
Right?
Chris Farley style.
Yes.
Plowed through it.
Dylan Cotton is 36 years old.
Oh, my God.
What is going on in his life?
He's just hanging with his peeps.
Yes.
Jesus.
There were no peeps.
By the way, if you're spending a lot of time in a bar,
36 looks a lot older than 36.
Yeah, if you've been busy.
It's like you see someone out on the streets,
you're like, man, how old are you?
Are you 50?
They're like, no, I'm 28.
I just sit in the sun and drink beer.
He has never, ever used sunblock.
Never.
Never.
And he wears a neon shirt.
He also believes, Dylan Cotton believes that expiration dates are put on food just by the
government to make sure that you keep throwing away food and buying more.
They're lying.
It don't mean nothing.
That milk just becomes yogurt.
It becomes something else.
I go buy yogurt.
It's all part of big food. Imagine his friends
that were like, I thought we were Dylan's peeps.
He didn't even show up.
There's like a big sad
banner at the party that he didn't make it to.
Peeps love Dylan.
It's like
peeps for keeps.
And it's just like a whole party where they're
like, we're yours forever do
you show up i don't think he likes us maybe he's like part of an organization called prom
promise peepers that is at sklar brother people who promise to be his friends okay
we're deporting millions of peepers from this country. Well, we had mentioned and heard several times throughout the episode from Dr. Phil.
I love that he has a pipeline to this show.
And he left us a voicemail really outlining his attitude towards the whole promise keepers scenario.
Promise keepers is what?
I don't even know what that is.
Really?
I went to a
what is it not yes i did what is it it's where you keep your promise no it was a christian thing
right it's abstinence bringing the christian man back into the household like getting rid of these
days where oh the like the wife is making everybody go to church okay so quit talking
promise keeper so uh dr phil actually left us a voicemail about uh promise keepers and a church. Okay, so... Quit talking. Brr, brr, brr, brr. Come on. Promise keeper.
So, Dr. Phil actually left us a voicemail about promise keepers, and... Let's take a listen.
Take a listen to that.
You have one new voice message.
Hey, y'all.
Phil here.
You know what?
Don't even call me the doc.
I ain't feeling it.
I ain't feeling it no more, but y'all talk about promise keepers.
I want to let you know something about PKs, okay?
That's just words.
Promise needs to be kept.
That's when you know it worked.
You take a man, he's been married eight years, thinks life's going good.
He comes home and his wife's cheating on him with the dryer.
It's a bad marriage.
It'd be good when you die and you were happy.
It's a successful marriage.
We had two people in here last week.
One guy tried to call himself promise keeper.
He's a thief.
We had bowl mints.
He dumped the mints out, took the bowl.
You didn't need a bowl that bad.
You just asked me.
I'll keep that promise.
I'm going to finish
this bottle of JV,
go back out
and shoot another show.
Probably going to hang
myself one of these ties.
All right, y'all.
DP out.
Wow.
Darkest thing
before he left.
Maybe hang myself
one of these ties.
He listens to his own show.
He does.
So funny,
because it's the
soft ph sound
I don't think of him
as a dp
but he's dp
he is dp
