Welcome to Guys, a podcast about guys. I am Brian. I'm here. here feeling great it's a rainy day i have this morose motherfucker right here with me chris james what's up chris what is that what do you mean is that an insult well i don't know what morose i think it means something like sad or something isn't it well that's what it's it's a line from a Kevin Smith movie, dude. Oh, I see. I should have known. I forgot momentarily that you are what you like to do is use some of the information that you've just learned against me in my intro. I should have known. Yeah, I'm excited to be here. Snoochie Boochie. Snoogins and whatnot. Yes, sir.

And we have with us this week, Rob Wissman. What's up, Rob? Hey, guys. What's up? Long time listener. That's very exciting. Thank you for sitting down. And also, I feel like we should ask this. Are you a long longtime Kevin Smith? Have you watched all of his films? I think I've seen every Kevin Smith movie except Yoga Hosers.

I've never heard of that one before. Yeah, I'm good on it. They say it's bad. The Kevin Smith guys say it's very bad. Is it like his first one? Is it like before? Because I've literally never heard of it. And I feel like I did know I did sort of follow his career at one point.

It came up. Yeah, it came out a few years ago. It's got his daughter and Johnny Depp's daughter, I believe. Oh, it sounds like. Oh, and it somehow wasn't good. So this is a new one. Okay, that's crazy because it came up to zero fanfare then. Somehow a fits in some way with tusk too his other movie oh that one

i have heard of but i that one that one was a huge bomb as well right well they i don't think anything he does bombs to tell you the truth because i think he has like a set of fans that will like enough that like they'll break the budget you know what i mean like i saw that clark's three's budget was seven million dollars which for movies is like the it's two million dollars less than clerks two that they were that they made it for like his movies don't cost anything to make yeah people just people just do the movies because they get to be in a Smith joint. You know what I mean? It's kind of cool to be able to throw it on the old resume

to be like you worked with one of the great auteurs. I think you're being smart-ass. What's your Smith fandom? Well, I think I am of the age where you know i was obsessed with mall rats and um what's the other one where they're where they're dante they're at the clerks clerks yeah of course clerks yeah sorry you just mentioned um yeah that's his big one that's the clerks but mall rats was yeah clerks is his big one obviously he made it but but so i i liked clerks mall rats was yeah clerks is a big one obviously made it but but so i i liked clerks mall rats though i was obsessed with yeah me like me and everyone that we knew you know we would

just say all the lines from it we would watch it it was like one of those movies that we would watch over and over and over again as a group of friends and i don't think clerks was like that i did i watched clerks a lot of times but it wasn't like it didn't have the same thing like i remember just the idea of the stink palm and things like that like we just thought some of the things in mall rats or it was some of the funniest stuff ever and i guess that was at the age of 12 maybe 13 so i think it's real teenage humor jason lee i think in mall rats is at the time when i was watching it when i was a teenager was like that's the coolest guy you could ever possibly be yeah and he and he was so cool and then when you like looked into him you're like and he was like a pro skater you know so he like actually was cool in

real life compared to the other actors uh yeah no that was i i looked up to him a lot definitely um rob did you did you i think rob is maybe like a little bit younger but did you what what's your favorite smith my favorite smith favorite smith like what's your go-to smith like if you're like if you were if you were having like a smith uh fest like a a Smith film festival, what would be your headlining night, closing night? There's something really comforting about Clerks still. That was the first movie with Edge I ever saw, I think. It was in black and white, if if i recall correctly which is very interesting i prefer movies in color personally but it was an interesting choice to not pay for the color on that well it was color

cause did he do that on because there are people there's arguments going on in the kevin smith sphere that he did black and white because he did it he forgot i think he just forgot to put the colors in that's what i heard i mean that also could be that he did it. He forgot. I think he just forgot to put the colors in. That's what I heard. I mean, that also could be that he did it on purpose. So it's supposed to look like a surveillance. Well, I think he definitely did it on purpose. He explains this in Clerks three as Silent Bob, who is directing that movie's version of Clerks. Oh, I see. I saw I saw I was the only one in the theater for clerks three and it was a

midnight showing and i alone made the cinemark staff have to stay an extra two hours of work and i feel terrible about it oh yeah well you're the customer clerks three for clerks three bro i was we're making meta self-referential there's nothing that gets me more upset when i'm watching a movie than when they do stuff like that like oh i just lose film the movie oh yeah exactly they're like oh i'm making the movie in the movie and i'm making references to what we did in the you know and it's like just make a movie for me to watch my um oh go ahead my wife and i have seen every single of the view esc universe movies which for people that don't know kevin smith has two types of movies he has his his movies like red state tusk and yoga hosers so i've never see those are the ones i've not heard of yeah and then those are

like one world and then everything else takes place in what's called the View Askew universe. What's that a reference to? The production company's name is View Askew. Anything with Jay and Silent Bob in it is part of that world. Snoochies.

Snoochie Boochie. Anything without them, like Red State is about... You keep saying you keep saying red state is this something that i know it's a horror movie i guess have you seen it rob because i haven't yes i have there's a it's not that good but there's a solid 20 minutes of it that's pretty terrifying i feel like you're being nice right now you're being kind to mr i have a love hate relationship i'm thankful for kevin smith like me too i i agree i think that like i said i don't know that there's a movie that sort of i watched as many times as as mall rats and that

had such a sort of impact on me at that age i think that like many things i think he made some good stuff and then he's just got a really insufferable fan base as well we're gonna well let's yes let's take a look at somebody from the viewsk universe subreddit name uh the silk secret and this is i'm only gonna do one of these because there are a lot of them on there. So I have to pick the shortest one. I'm going to, this is an art, this is a type of post this guy does, this, the self secret, Askew Universe curiosities, Randall's ride home. Now, sometimes I feel like I dedicate more thought to the tiny inconsequential curiosities in the view Askew universe than I do the broader narratives. Pointless pondering such as, at the end of Clerks, who was Randall's ride home?

Dante asked him if he went to ride and he said he's got one. Randall himself has admitted that he doesn't have any friends outside of Dante and Elias. It's reasonable to assume that he had a more friendly acquaintances in 1993 and they slowly drifted away until our boy sergio was left it's also possible that he called his cousin brody for a ride but we have to consider that this was one night after brody was offered a television we don't have to consider listen listen so i get it it is kind of fun just to think about maybe, I guess, if you're stoned, maybe just like think about this. And I guess there's probably a lot of stoners who are in the view of skew universe, I'm guessing. But this is just I hate this stuff. We talked about it before. What was the living in South Park? The South Park guys who would say who's living in yeah south park the south park uh guys who would say who's living in um cleveland's house or no no yeah yeah yeah stan's house when he's away or something like that like they're just really mad about it they need to know like who's living in that house and nobody

well there's still more uh there's a good chance he was too busy to worry about giving his cousin a ride across town my gut tells me he called his mom for a ride home okay we know is that is that because you often call your mom for a ride home sir he lived with his mom at least until the end of clerks too okay we can safely assume he's a mama's boy uh parentheses people say weird shit during sex that's a quote uh there's something that just makes sense about randall calling his mother for a ride home from work after fighting with his best friend when i consider all the possibilities this one seems if not the most likely then the most fitting if that makes sense i have a question because rob

you're a you're a expert on the films, the Clerks films and Randall. Would you say this makes sense to you? Do you believe that it's possible Randall called his mother for a ride home? This actually opens up a whole other. Oh, very cool. Like now I'm just who dropped Randall off at work. Yeah, I didn't. I didn't even.

He just walks into frame. Yeah. Does he? Does he walk? into frame yeah does he does he walk because if he he did maybe he walks no because he asked did you need a ride what kind of car do you think what kind of car and then it also begs the question when that car was purchased what did that look like where kind of a purchase history does the car have? How much mileage does it have on it? These are fun things to think about. Here's a little more. Imagine that there were another 20 minutes tagged onto the runtime,

and there was an actual scene included of Randall going home. Which option would feel less out of place? Honestly. Like, at the end of the movie? They're saying at the end of the movie. Like, after it's all wrapped up, just, like, minute scene like like are you saying an after credits in a car in a car that's 20 minutes long and then does it like does it wrap up the the story in a different way well no it just kind of tells you what how randall got home from work i think is what we're

getting at here okay yeah yeah it's important uh so anyway honestly the only option that makes any sense to me at all is that after watching an hour and a half of dante and randall's friendship on full display something would feel weird about seeing randall ride home with another friend even his cousin brody after seeing an hour and a half of dante's love life on display, while only seeing Randall obsess over pornography, it wouldn't feel very fitting to find out he caught a romantic-slash-sexual interest of his to pick him up. This is, quote, despite his big talk in Clerks 2, I don't think Randall gets laid near as much as he claims to. The hospital sequence in Clerks 3 establishes that Randall has been, at best exaggerating his sex life to dante for their entire lives but there's something that makes sense about randall getting in the car

with his mom abashedly shrugging off her support comedy this is a comedy film you don't know what i mean like you're not you're not this is not fun anymore the shortest one ch Chris. This is the shortest one of these. I can answer all of these with my own theory, and that is Randall is not real. He's a figment of Dante's imagination. Wow. Okay, this is deep. Have you ever floated this on any of the boards? No.

No, you haven't floated the theory online because it'd be interesting to see from some of the other viewers. Is there a name for them? People who are Kevin Smith heads? I mean, they're Kevin Smith guys. That's what we're calling them. I don't know if there was a name. I think, honestly, it's like Snooches or something.

People who are James Allen Bob fans. I know there's a name for those. Here is another guy. Groovy Chainsaw replied to this. He said, never gave it much thought. I do remember Randall saying he got a ride home. Maybe one of the rooftop hockey league. But how does he get to work in the morning?

He's like, what would he do? Does he walk in, but overproductive mom won't let him walk home to the park? Then I am tie lostlossed as a mom does make sense, but so does some skeezy skank that was hanging out earlier that Randall might have talked shit to like he hated her guts, only to charm her later with that husky voice.

Sure, probably some badgering too, until she came back to pick him up and kiss that Roman face. I can imagine Randall... So now this person's fantasizing about like randall get like getting some from a girl yeah like he's like yeah randall's like he's a sexy voice and he comes back and kisses his face like this guy's starting to like get close to you know writing like porn fanfic here i can imagine randall climbing through windows to

escape morning bedrooms and walking home in the pre-dawn fucking that neighbor girl. He's not. Okay. So hang on. This guy, he's really imagining Randall fucking a lot. This is a crossover Kevin Smith sex guy. Definitely. Well, cooler than said he probably had a lady that he was having a physical relationship or maybe just some guy that he knew with car also he might not say that he has any friends outside of elias and

dante but randall talks a lot of shit i love guys like that wait wait wait yeah maybe you probably have some this guy's saying like randall's you know he says he doesn't have any friends but like yeah i bet he's got some he's always this is i would be friends with randall you know he says he doesn't have any friends but like yeah i bet he's got some he's always this is i would be friends with randall you know a lot of these a lot of these yeah a lot of them are thinking that they would be friends with randall definitely yeah me and randall would get along you know we're kind of you know that type of guy so another thing kevin smith does that i really wanted to hammer home on this is merch he's a merch okay so i know that he is very good because did he have a podcast studio yes am i i'm not imagining that right

that's a well let's take a look at his patreon here which i joined yesterday he has a patreon yeah i know famous people shouldn't have patreon why do you have a patreon like you're a fucking famous filmmaker like you're you're what are you doing like seven million dollar movies patreons for people with barely hanging for small creators like i it actually i'm not the first one it makes me angry there's like these celebrities like having podcasts and patreons like come on leave something for everyone else so the five dollar a month here which i did not join it's called clerk you give full access to the smodcast smart hive oh the smart guys yeah the smart guys oh that's cool

and that's over a thousand hours of oral dating back to 2007. oh that's funny um they're kind of they're kind of they're kind of going a little bit on sex kind of yeah uh you get fat man on batman fat man beyond edumacation what what what is it what do you mean i get this what are you talking okay thank you because i would i do not want these whatever they are hawk salad plus one and many more including the audio version of kev's current morning show meditations that sounds annoying i don't think i could ever i don't know if you guys are pontificating he's like yeah he'll put like he'll put sm at the beginning of something a word is what i've noticed smith and mosher ah who who's who's mosher former sort of he was there for the

first bunch of movies he's a co-producer on all the other movies. Okay. So the next level you get is a mall rat. That might be something Chris would be into. And Rob, you guys both do like mall rats. And that's a $10 a month tier. I don't think that has it. Just because you like the film doesn't mean that I necessarily have to be on the $10 tier.

And I won't be i'm sorry i've never finished mole rats it just occurred to me i've turned it off halfway through every time i've seen it so you don't even know how boring to me you don't know how it ends no they're on a game show oh are you kidding me the way it all wraps up it was boring to you rub yeah i've turned on every time this guy this guy i can listen a lot of people right now are possibly turning the podcast off now because they're like well we're not going to listen to this guy's opinion because he does not know shit about smith if he does not he doesn't even he hasn't even given one of the great films of our time mall rats is proper due by watching it all the way through

well it is proper due sorry i interrupted you brian as a mall right you get everything a clerk gets plus the smithstonian screaming screening room which is stuff that hasn't been released so stuff that was so bad that he didn't want to put it out that's that is the good way to put it that's the stuff that you want is like here's the shit that like i didn't even want to release it because it didn't turn out so good do you want to see that for extra money and then watch meditations every monday wednesday and friday morning where kev will monologue about unimportant bullshit bust out a script to read or write reminisce or rave about the movies and tv show he loves giggle at hours of smodco cartoon compilations view never before seen cinema and

laugh at live shows both years old and brand new if you're a dirty cuck who likes to watch be a mall rat in that kevin smith club it's the ten dollar tier i did not do the ten dollar tier that's weird because because I'm pretty sure you are a dirty cuck who likes to watch. I don't. The next one is Funployee. It's $15 a month. It's $15 a month.

Chris, you're going to know which one I signed up for in one second. As a Funployee, you get everything a clerk and a mall rat get plus the challenge coin collection oh no oh brian brian you can't brian brian loves challenge coins from he's a chiver and all the chivers anyone who's a big time chiver they're obsessed with the coins because they're a big part of their lives now i don't know what that means wrong challenge i don't either i don't think most people i don't think understand the concept of challenge coins but brian is obsessed with them

i'm not that's this is the third episode yeah challenge coins have come up organically brian has like a hundred of them i i should but yes i joined the chive and so so you're joking with me right now right though they actually have challenge coins here yeah if you go to 15 a month here you get sent challenge coins so i signed up for 15 a month you actually you really did i show you the receipt if you want me to bring it up on the screen i did 15 a month to kevin when does the when does the challenge coin show up i don't it says an original challenge coin will be shipped each quarter that's kind of a funny play on words that's funny yeah i didn't even think about that. Well, the quarter is a famous coin. Quarter is a pretty famous coin. The $30 a month level is Yoga Hoser.

So, now, Rob, you've seen Yoga Hoser? No. Well, that's the only one you haven't seen. That's the only one you haven't seen. You should have, if anyone. It's a Canadian movie. It's about Canada. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, that's right. I should. I should. That's right yeah hoser no he was talking to me right no but he was no he was clearly talking to me so what's it does you know what like can you tell me the premise of that one and the stars of it and whatnot because maybe i am going to go ahead and watch it it is kevin smith's daughter and johnny de Smith's daughter and Johnny Depp's daughter, and they're in some sort of a situation. It's like a horror movie, like a so bad it's good horror movie that everybody that likes the Kevin Smith movies hates. So and as a yoga hoser, you get bound scripts published with glossy covers that feature the poster artwork each film was theatrically released with as well as new introductions

written by kev shipping quarterly you'll receive tksc exclusive editions of dogma j and silent bob strikes back j and silent bob super groovy cartoon movie and j and silent bob reboot these literary treasures will look amazing on your bookshelf these are cool perks man this is a good patreon oh rob's about to lose because this we are not we're not halfway through the tears i mean there's a crew this cast for for yoga hosers is incredible as you mentioned it has johnny depp's son and also kevin smith's right daughter is that right it does and then but it also has austin butler the guy who played elvis in the elvis movie he's in this as well which is quite incredible y'all turned to work in a kevin smith movie the comic book men 50 a50 a month tier, sold out.

See your likeness depicted in the pages of a funny book written by Kev. Show off your four-color fanboy friends when your mug appears in the panels of an issue of quick stops or masquerade you provide a picture we'll provide the likeness so yeah i mean he has thought this through but it's like how much money do you need fashionable male 85 dollars per month we're giving a rest man you're a multi-millionaire you live in a big fucking mansion why are you charging fucking

working class people 85 a month to draw fucking pictures of them well this one is uh you get all the stuff from the previous and then you get a screen worn wardrobe from the secret stash archives own a piece of clothing that was worn as a costume and one of kev's many movies definitely your friends and delight your instagram followers by showing off an actual piece of the movie. What is this? What is this? A piece of clothing? From a movie? What is he doing? Rob's signing

It appears as if it's his. But like, what's up with this man?

Like who came up with this? Who came up with this shit? And how much fucking money does that person need? You'll you'll enjoy while watching a private screening in theater. One includes a one on one interview with your host that's filmed for an episode of meditations. interview with your host that's filmed for an episode of smeditations so and so he's using you as well as a guest on his show that he's making money off of on his patreon so he's like let's consider this jersey girl that is a 200 per month tier i saw that movie jersey girl i saw that in theaters jersey girl i uh saw it on a date i believe well it's fine it's an okay

pretty good movie it's pretty good it's fine it's fine it's definitely fine you get all the previous things but you also get a classic kev worn jersey you'll get one of those oh no this is this is great like this is almost like so funny i can't decide if this is so funny and good. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Like, because having a game-worn jersey, like, giving away a game-worn jersey in sports is, like, a famous thing to do. And then he famously wears these fucking jerseys all the time and gets made fun of for it. So this is kind of funny, little wink to that.

But also I do think it's just how much money. Like, he's just trying. Like, this is kind of funny little wink to that. But also I do think it's just how much money, like he's just trying, like this is all bullshit. He's just getting a bunch of jerseys and putting them on once and then fucking selling them. That's literally what he's doing, man. He's like putting them on if,

if that, well, it does say, you know, you're going to Edmonton Oilers colored hockey sweaters. Kev used to live in from his just Jersey area. Each one of a kind pullover is a relic of a bygone era, and no two game-worn jerseys are alike.

Own the shirt seen on the first five seasons of Comic Book Men and in almost every photo of Kev from 2010 to 2016. Does he have outstanding, massive outstanding debts that he has to pay to somebody? This is crazy desperate for a man who is like has a lot of money already well let me ask you this would you join the cribson crypto club which there's more there's more there's more levels this is our last level the 250 per month level shorts shorts you get a walk

on rolling pebs next film oh yeah he does shit like that all the time this guy's like you can be in my movie man just look at it needs some cash you could be in my movie you could people have tweeted at him enough to get in the movies it's

like he'll put anyone in his movie is there a chance is he like not doing it for the money but he just like thinks this is like cool shit to do also super funny the way this is describing goes uh have you always wanted to be in a movie even if it's just a kevin smith flick we'll get ready for your close-up this summer when it's lights camera action on the 430 movie directed by kevin smith you will be featured in uncuttable cameo appearance right beside one of the stars and told what to do by the guy who directed jersey girl travel and accommodations are not provided you must be paid in full by first day of filming so oh so you have to pay for the full year 250 bucks a month for a full year okay so you're paying so what's that three grand

yeah so you're paying that now are they don't don't you have to pay someone to be in a movie has he found a loophole to have people paid to be extras in his movie instead of having to pay them does he still have to give them wages i don't know i mean not more than three grand though they should be getting do you know what i mean like he's actually found a way to have people pay to be in the movies instead of pay extras this is this guy is kind of like he's a business genius but he's a scoundrel well now we're on his website his merch store jay and silent bob where uh they have t-shirts i brought up the pictures for Rob and Chris to show

them. They got some button-up shirts. Okay, they got all of these screenplays signed. So there's that. Those are cool. You just can't be sitting there just signing screenplays all day long.

I forgot how skinny he is now man i forgot how off-putting he looks and that's an unfortunate thing that happens you know what i mean if you're like so accustomed to seeing somebody like being heavy set or whatever um then if they get really sort of thin and gaunt in this way that it's really jarring when you see their face sometimes i mean this guy smells everything he's got a zippo lighter uh i hate this dude man what is that from what is that's the restaurant they worked at in clerks too yeah oh clerks too yeah i watched it but it didn't like stick in my head you know i saw clerks to the uh i saw clerks to the day i got kicked off the football team in high school okay and

and lost my driver's license before or after when this was this was right after so okay so you i didn't have a driver's license i had it my mom took me to can you explain a little can you can you explain to us a little bit how you did were those two things um like connected you getting kicked off the football team and losing your driver's license oh yeah I went to juvie for one day when I was 17 what is what was uh do you mind if I ask what the offense oh I uh I drank one smear off ice on uh and they put you away and drove half a mile down the road and uh yeah i went to juvie they caught you right away yeah man you had you had a single shirt off i got it got into a car in rural kentucky and he drove down the street and immediately got popped and sent to juvie yeah

my shithead friends were in the back of my truck like screaming and then the cop let them take they were drunk and the cop let them take my truck on to the party that we were headed to but you well i went to juvie but then when you got sorry for this detour no this is good this podcast ought to be is just detours you know i mean but yeah otherwise we're just going to be looking at Kevin Smith merchandise. Look at this enamel pen. I knew you'd like that. Wow. Oh, my God. It's the famous tweet.

So he's now owning. This is on his own website. Yes. He's owning like 10 years in and we bone like you you guys know the the tweet right 10 years in we bone like we're cheating on each other with each other a decade plus and her clit brown taint area still pones my dick it's actually like it's actually like the sickest it's like like we you hear it now and it's like be kind of become you know you've heard it so many times, but it really is so grotesque to think about him thinking in that way. So here's a guy I don't know.

We've seen me and Rob have both seen Clerks 3. I may not have. I don't think I have. Well, here's a guy talking about it. T. Watt. All the names are gross. Kevin Smith is one of the best if not the best at making movies this is the plot line of clerks three right this is a guy reviewing it he goes i'm an

hour into the movie and i've already laughed so hard i almost threw up. Okay, well, that's not good. You shouldn't be laughing so hard. Even if you laugh like the hardest, you should be almost throwing up. I almost threw up. Been in absolute awe with the screenplay and shed tears for the characters. Kevin Smith is an absolute legend. The way he intertwines his movies is better than any other cinematic universe. Excelsior.

The way he intertwines, is that just like he uses some characters in different movies? Yeah, or he'll say somebody in one movie is the cousin of a person in another movie. Nobody does that because it's so fucking stupid. that guy that was like in two scenes in that one this is his cousin wow some fucking guy is at home like oh my god the intertwining is incredible watch smart replies that not trying to troll here but what part made you laugh so hard you nearly threw up yeah yeah no i i appreciate that question. Call this person out. Yeah. Let me give you an answer.

The trilogy needs to be in the Criterion Collection. It's truly landmark American cinema. Okay, this, is that being serious? I don't know. I don't know even the fans would say that, right? That might be someone joking around. Here's a guy that says, Clerks 1 is the only one with the slightest possibility of ever making it and the blu-ray release is already wonderful there's not anything

criterion could do to put their stamp on it and make it better outside of tossing it in one of their clear cases and slapping a number on the spine and a guy replies the collections about archiving landmark cinema clerks three elevates the first two and the trilogy as a whole is important cinema worth preserving at the highest level if not tristerian then some other boutique studio needs to release the trilogy it deserves that level what is what do they mean by that exactly just release it as a three like what is what do they mean they're all released i know i don't think they're disappearing either it's not like they're at the library of alexandria no you could easily get them like online legally or illegally and watch them back to back to back tonight yeah and the guy

goes this collection's about having the collection's about having a good set of special features to include on a disc the majority of people buy them i'm not sure how you think them adding clerks would be them archiving it when that movie is and will forever be widely available edit you're a blind fan boy weirdo thinking clerks two and three are important cinema worth preserving at the highest level is delusional so the guy that's a normal that's a normal person stepped in just like hey i just had a normal opinion i wanted to interject that i probably got a lot of downvotes he goes and they and they could do just that they already had the first clerks on criterion dvd and no the majority of people buy them because it's the quintessential way to view the films yeah the film heads yeah a trilogy that was so unexpectedly elevated deserves a special bundle release i'm not sure

why you're being obtuse or argumentative about it and you're not sure why you're on the kevin smith fucking reddit like this guy thinks he's in clerks well here's a question he's arguing true that probably is like a lot of the conversation a lot of them are just like they're imagining them like themselves as characters having these conversations you're being argumentative and obtuse you're being a little argumentative you're right well this person species unknown on the uh board says what if matt damon is loco i know this obviously isn't true and has likely been posted before. I doubt it. But I just had a weird idea.

What if? Wait, what is the? The question is, what if Matt Damon is Loki? Is like in real life, Loki. What if God did banish two renegade angels from heaven? What if one of them decided to pass the time by becoming a Hollywood film star? Just imagine if Matt Damon was actually. Oh, no, everybody.

It's been a while. It's been dry days, dry days for the flub heads. But we got one, folks. We got one in the net. It is Matt Diamond, everyone. Can we please see your matt diamond comments in the replies you've been real i want to commend you brian because i've noticed there's been a few episodes in a row you have not flubbed at all you've done like actual perfect flawless episodes so that's

why i had to jump on this flip flip totally cool i i deserve it so let's look at one more uh thing in kevin smith's fandom and that is that kevin smith made a he-man series rob did you man series did not hear about this yeah unaware he made people very mad um why this guy goes great show also it's not called he-man so basically what happened is he made this movie he-man dies in the first episode and it ends up being about a woman teela like living her life or whatever i don't even know what it is but uh um so that's i mean that's kind that is kind of maddening yeah and you know what i mean if it's called he man they should they should the he man's got to be in it so i saw i saw some good uh tweet the other day uh might be an old tweet but it was like you know if there used to be a show called like surf vampire or whatever you'd see that fucking guy surfing every single week in one way or the other nowadays mgv would

be like fucking a whole backstory how he became a surfer and you'd only get to see him surf once at the end of the season it is true no one's mad that the show isn't about he-man people are mad that the writers made tila the main character is unlikable and selfish as possible why they put such a toxic woman as the lead character are we supposed to hate her are we supposed to agree with her childish and selfish behavior? They did the same thing with Amber on Invincible, and people shat on her. I'm really not surprised at how much hate

this show is getting. This next person, and this is just... We all have to remember we're talking about a He-Man. The person goes, dude, she's traumatized and grief-stricken. Toxicity requires malice skeletor for instance was and remains toxic yep skeletor was and remains toxic sorry skeletor

fans your day is your day has come skeletor fans Skeletor sorry your beloved Skeletor he can no longer speak at any of these functions or anything. He's done. Done like dinner. He will never be giving speeches at Berkeley. It's not going to happen. It's not on

my watch. It's not. Brian I have a question for you about the Viewask Universe. Yeah. The movie Cop Out. You didn't my watch it's not brian i have a question for you about the uh view of skewniverse yeah the movie cop out you didn't mention the film cop out that's not that's a separate thing right that's out of the view of skewniverse because i remember that one that one was a it was a real bomb though right it was a real people hated that film that was with tracy morgan and uh bruce willis yes but that was bruce bruce willis was still making films under his own faculties at that point i do believe he was a big dick to kevin smith like apparently he was but it might have been you know you can forgive him if

he has actual cognitive decline like he has real serious cognitive issues like that's one of the saddest stories in hollywood he's they're just rolling him out there it's it's it's um feinstein-esque you know what they're doing to that man as far as i'm concerned let me ask you this oh motherfucking christ shit notification you got a notification i know that's everybody's gonna be making fun of it i don't know they won't they're just gonna talk about about Matt Diamond, I promise. Vampire Anarchy has a really good question on the subreddit. He says,

sorry for the long post. It's not that long. It's really not that long. I don't know why he said it. What's everyone's opinion on if Kevin made his own streaming service? He'd probably do it. There's enough.

There is enough. There is more than enough. Kevin Smith. Yes. But imagine you can download it on your phone, iPad, Apple TV, or any other device.

And as everything on, on it, everything on it, all his movies, direct to video stuff, YouTube videos, comic book, book men audio and video versions of the podcast any future projects and for live stuff he does it could be live

stream like q a's at cons and for his movies and his live podcast all for 9.99 okay well hang on okay so that yeah i mean it's funny that i think that's a good suggestion. It's surprising to me that he's not done it. It is kind of, it is kind of like a little presumptuous to be like, and you should do it all for nine 99. I agree. That's the price, but I don't think you necessarily would get to pick the price point as a customer. And the price nine 99 has been proven not to like work. That's why all these things are like raising their prices to like

17 yeah but for something like that that's specialized for one person's material you know what i mean i feel like but you're right though rob there is enough of it that it could it could be its own thing there's a lot of material and he's he's so enterprising i i feel like maybe it's in the works already i don't know i don't know well you know what i looked into chris was i went to rotten tomatoes oh i love that website i've gotta go i'm on it right now it says cop out 18 percent uh on the tomato meter 163 reviews this might just be me a me and rob thing here but have you seen the evening with kevin smith dvds of course not they're great rob did you see him uh not a very long time but yeah but they're like four hours long and it's just him standing on stage talking

they're good so it's stand-up comedy like he's making jokes he has a really good story about uh how he was supposed to write superman yeah oh i've heard that i haven't done it doc he spent a week trying to do a documentary with prince yeah he's got a kind of storyteller he's a good storyteller yeah four hours a long time though like i don't really want to listen to anybody talk for four hours not even not any single person ever well generally on guys we look at bad reviews at the end of guys we're gonna oh i'm sorry okay so there's there's reviews of his show you and i hit okay okay. Here's a five-star review where it says, if more people in the entertainment industry possess this level

of wit and candor, there wouldn't be so many bad movies coming out. Oh, I see. I think film... Which movie is this for? This is for An Evening with Kevin Smith 2 Evening Harder from 2006. i think filming wait which movie is this for this is an evening with kevin smith

evening harder from 2006 wait what's the title of it an evening with kevin smith two evening harder oh that's very good you like it i do i do evening harder um yeah so i see so they're saying that the filmmakers if they had this sort of insight that he did was a lot of these boobs i i don't know i i don't think that's what the issue is i think there's a lot of very competent filmmakers out there i think that it's a money driven industry and it's being driven more by algorithmic uh type stuff than it was before and you're it's taking away some of the art but there is still incredible movies getting made all the time oh not if you don't see

them i mean if you're a kevin smith guy you're not fucking going to see yeah you're not going to see like fucking the yeah you're right this guy says i have listened to smodcast and i admit that i haven't seen any of smith's films but i know that this mr kevin smith is the proprietor of comedy that i'm looking for weird way to say it yeah he listens to the audience who gives him questions awkward and interesting while on stage he gives interesting stories of his experiences and antidotes not anecdotes antidotes that resonate with you the everyday nerd i watch this and feel normal and legendary at the same time thank you kevin smith for performing and yourself for your new and aged fans i am converted so this guy hasn't even actually seen a movie he just watched the

this was a newspaper no this is a review online yeah but what who is this written for oh yeah this is a rotten tomatoes review so that no that user review all these reviews are okay it's like it that's an actual that's like in the boston globe peter travers said this this guy says the funniest thing you will ever see that isn't a comedy show he basically just asked questions which include the first time he had sex with his wife i'm just asking questions that's all i'm doing this is the funniest thing you'll see that isn't a comedy show but then like it's what okay i get so it's not meant to be funny he's just like like uh by accident he can't help it but be funny if you're a kevin smith fan have not watched this then you must pass up your kevin smith fan card

this is a must see so turn in your kevin smith fan card guys yeah turn in your cave you haven't seen this so i guess that's me guys sorry i'm gonna pull it out of my wallet now and i'm just gonna go ahead and boom put it on the table i'm out i'm no longer in the in the club what patreon tier is the fan card probably it's the coin yeah yeah here's a jay and silent bob reboot is a movie that came out in 2019 i've seen it i remember oh boy did it ever i remember was that let's let's see how was what was the overall score can you give us that four percent critic 93 audience so the audience has loved it there's something that has happened with this i can tell you as a movie guy i've said it many times before the people have figured out how to

game this system these scores are bullshit now you'll see these movies that have like 98 audience score yeah and it's like some they've just figured out like these studios have gotten all these bots fucking throwing up these scores or whatever yeah well this guy says uh he's five stars for this movie at the risk of sounding like i'm filleting the movie i love imagine he just started that'd be such a funny joke if he started doing all these like sucking noises you know he was like typing oh brian just put the whole microphone in his mouth i wish you guys saw that that is the biggest sex guy move i've ever seen him do i did it um i i love the two hours of my life i spent in the theater it delivered everything you love i love i love the two hours of my life that I spent in the theater. I don't know that's a real person writing that.

I'm not sure that's how a person, unless maybe English is a second language, it's being translated from something. I don't think it is. I just don't see that as a human sentence. I enjoyed the two hours of my life that I spent in the theater talking about a movie i i don't know i call bullshit saw a lot of movies never seen a lot of movies i've never been like i enjoyed the two and a half hours of my life that i've been there maybe sarcastically yeah yeah yeah yeah maybe sarcastically well uh it delivered everything you love about a kevin smith view

a skew film it is self-awarely funny, and even more heartwarming than advertised. I definitely laughed, shared a few sly smiles with random moviegoers over some more obscure references and cameos, and cried way more than once. If I could have walked right back in to see it again or bought it to watch at home, I would have done so without a second thought i already bought my ticket for thursday so this is yeah these again that's i would say that's just too like i know there are fans that feel that way but it does sort of feel like a fake review you know like it's like sort of the stuff you would say if you were just trying to convince people that it was great.

I'll say five stars. Too many stars. I know. For that one. Well, five stars is too many stars for pretty much any movie. I mean, there's a few five-star movies, but that should be the highest echelon of movies. The top. Yeah, the top.

Five-star. Yeah, exactly. Five-star movies are really great, great pieces. I'm trying to think of one now. Citizen Kane is a five-star movie. I would say, honestly. Godfather. Yeah, I would say Banshees, In a Sharon.

Something like that, for me, is a five-star. Sound of Freedom is one for me, definitely, that was my best. Grem for me definitely that was yeah what gremlins 2 okay i don't is that it has hulk hogan in it so i give it five stars okay so that's not actually a good one uh no i mean that with my whole heart. There is a war going on in the view askew community. Oh, no. It's really sad to see it all happen this way. This is from C Election 3971. And he goes, my view askew, broken heart. Oh, no.

A little bit about myself and my relationship to the universe. Okay. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks, I i guess i'm 40 years old the first kevin smith movie i saw was mall rats late night on hbo one night i was hooked i went to blockbusters and rented clerks they did put the s at the end of block but as soon as chasing amy came out i it right away. Same with the other movies. It seems like over the past few years, Kevin Smith has gotten very politically correct, and it sucks. I would have thought he would have been the guy leading the charge against political correctness, against the SJW snowflake nonsense. Hey, first off, he's never been that.

But also, these are just movies for teenagers like just listen man you're 40 years old just move on with your life and start watching other stuff like most of us did you know like don't like don't yeah don't like you know you can still you can go back and watch them in this way where it's like hey it's nostalgic or whatever but you can't be expecting him to be actually creating these great movies that you're going to still love at the age of four i would have thought he would have been the guy leading the charge against political correctness against the sjw snowflake nonsense does anyone else feel this way no one of my favorite quotes from rapper tom mcdonald oh my god wait a second do you know that person rob i

never heard of him yeah i know that person that person oh my god bad bad rob's not rob's not reacting positively you don't think this is a good is that a good rapper no we'll have to do some tom mcdonald on the stream oh yeah yeah have me on for tom mcdonald nine yeah what's what can you guys give me a little just just so i'm a little dude oh dude i've got some links to send you when we're done here yeah like like alter war stuff he's a conservative rapper he sucks okay he's bad and he goes uh one of my favorite croaks from rapper tom m is we grew up on South Park and Attitude Era Pro Wrestling. How are we so easily offended? What is Attitude Era Wrestling?

It was supposed to be so hardcore. I mean, it was harder for the now. But yeah, you're right. It's like all the, you know, the problematic stuff. That was when they were like at their worst, you're right. I mean, that's... You know, the problematic stuff. That was when they were, like, at their worst, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This person says, please take your broken heart and go watch whatever sound of freedom bullshit

you're yearning for with the other not-to-want-to-be dickheads. You're not wanted in our fandom. You don't represent View Askew fans, and you're the exact type of person I have raised my children to be the opposite of it disgusts me that there are such close-minded snowflakes like you in the world and to

come here trying to spread your I'm anti woke horse shit shows how few brain cells you have please don't procreate and then this person flies and says dude probably saw Mahoratz and thought TS was a good pro tag. Oh!

It's just like, hey, losers. It's just like this super specific inside guy. It's like Kevin Smith. That's a good Kevin Smith burn. Because everybody's's like oh i i didn't think ts was good yeah that's really that's you got got his ass here this guy says i agree he's gotten soft maybe it's because he almost died clerks three was amazing and i loved it perfect emotional movie but the jokes all felt safe i'd agree to to that. Very politically correct. Maybe what he once found funny isn't anymore. Definitely after the crazy offensive nature of

Clerks 2, 3 was showing his soft side. That guy was like, I disagree with the whole thing. This is for Jay and Solomon Reboot, right? That's Clerks. That was just a guy being mad because he said Kevinvin smith has gone

woke which is a argument that happens on the on the subreddit every few days it's like anybody knows kevin's gone woke and he's all chasing amy's a good point. I mean, it's pretty problematic now, but it was progressive for his time. Oh, yeah. Kevin Smith has been a pretty progressive guy. He's a lib. Yeah, for real. Well, here's the reviews on Amazon for his Funko Pop. One of them.

He has several Funko Pops. But this is Kevin Shvin shepherd gives it four stars out of five and says needs propping up looks great if you intend as many do to keep kevin his original packaging otherwise his head and ball cap make it hard to keep him upright so you don't want that i see so saying that hey some of us want to take it out of the box, believe it or not. It's a fucking toy. Hey,

Funko pops. Hey, Funko pops. You forgot what, well, what is it then? It's just a thing, but it's supposed to come out of the box,

but it's supposed to come out of the box. Maybe. But how do you play with a Funko? Like in what way? And I'm a guy with boys behind me right now. They don't wobble. They're just, huh? Yeah. How do you, behind me right now they don't wobble they're just huh yeah how do you yeah i guess you don't play with the dude yeah is there like are they

because i guess yeah there's other stuff that's like collectible like beanie babies or whatever that was like you know those are meant for kids that's kind of what these are but our funko pops they're not meant for kids i mean i think some are i don't think the kevin smith one is for kids like i think the venom one is for kids maybe but the kevin smith one is definitely for you know 40 year old men but like i'm just saying what do they start as do they start as like children's toys i think they just started as like statues things that you can display your fandom i see okay this guy says uh love it i might not be a fan of his movies but having seen a conference of the man i do have a lot of respect about him and being a geek i do

feel like why wait why is anyone why are people who don't watch the films watching this if you're not if you're not seeing his films what would you why would you end up here and why would you watch it maybe a five-star review to a funko oh this is this this is a funko why yeah why are you why did you get a funko pop of kevin smith if you haven't seen his films you're not a fan it says i might not be a fan of his movies but you're why did you end up with the Funko Pop of him? Five stars. You're happy with it.

There's so many Funko Pops. Yeah. Iconic Funko for the Kevin Smith variety. Any Kevin Smith fan would appreciate this modern looking Kevin Smith. Oh, they're like, these are fake too. That's what it is, man. They're just fake reviews written by some AI. So that's why it's like, I may not have seen Kevin Smith's movies,

but this is a great Funko pop. And it's like, it doesn't make sense. Nobody who's fucking never seen or doesn't like his movies is buying a Funko pop of him. And then being like, yeah, movies is buying a Funko pop of him and then being like, yeah, this is my favorite Funko pop. He goes, I've been a fan for more years than I should probably legally be allowed. What? That I don't get. Smith has had life altering impacts on my life through his writing Q and A's and envious way of life making movies with his friends we should

this is i'm telling you this is not we're not listening to a human being here human this is that was d.a on uh verified purchase on on the old uh amazon um so kevin smith does own a movie theater in new jersey called Smog Castle. So we discuss it. We discuss it as one of the things you could go have a private screening there. So this is attached apparently to his apartment, right? Well, he has an apartment above it. Yeah, that's interesting.

He lives there. Yeah, and this is a Yelp review for it. While you're watching the movie. Yeah. Like you. Something like. Yeah. Keep it down.

This is Tom C. Reviewed Smodcastle. Gave it one star. Oh. And he said, reeked of pot. Okay. Well, come on. I mean, it was Kevin Smith in the the hall when we mentioned the problem to the

staff they said well the owner nothing we can do don't smoke in an indoor public place and certainly not a theater so they were like that guy smells like weed kevin smith just walked by he smells like weed can you tell him to stop it's like i mean come on man this is famous weed head kevin smith we know he loves those smoochy bootcheese you know he's uh you know uh jay hooks him up jay sells weed right yeah yeah yeah i don't know if he doesn't mean i mean i mean i guess silent bob does too right they sell it together yeah jay and time bob they get together they scoochy boots some weed sold out a three evening with kevin smith that's Q&A he's selling a threesome with him in his life oh that would be I mean I think he would but no this is another Q&A is he a swinger is he a swinger potentially

I don't know nah he loves his wife like oh yeah he's she's still her pony yeah yeah i think it's sweet i think it is sweet yeah it's nasty to think of him like in the sexual way but it is sweet how much love he has for his wife definitely i'm a big kevin smith fan and the first evening with kevin smith is my favorite work by the guy by far i prefer it to his movies parentheses which have gotten crappier and I think the second Evening with Kevin Smith was a step down, but this one is almost right up there with the first. It's absolutely hilarious, and I highly recommend it. If you're not a Smith fan, I don't know why you would even be reading reviews for this. However, if you somehow are, let me say that if you don't mind a lot of profanity and graphic descriptions of sex acts, then you'll find this hilarious. Even if you aren't familiar with his work, or if you think he sucks, you don't like profanity, then again, I don't know what you're doing reading reviews about a Kevin Smith material.

I've read some reviews complaining that some of the material he goes over uh they've already heard on his website or that he's it just sounds like he's doing a stand-up routine he is doing a stand-up routine of course he directs the questions towards stories he can tell and then and to that he's fine-tuned that's how comedians work so this guy's gonna now start screaming that's how the art of stand-up works i don't know if people listening know but i do stand up and i have done it before and that is true that a classic stand-up move is you got your go-to stories you ask the question and then you direct the audience and you go to your go-to stories it's a classic road comic move yeah i've

read some reviews uh so he goes uh comedians will work on material for months or even years before they're completely happy with it. Then the good ones take the jokes they've been cultivating and put it on a DVD. That's all Smith is doing here and it works. You may have heard some of his stuff on a SMODcast, but it's still great to have it all in one DVD

to rewatch whenever you want. There's so much good stuff on here that even if you don't like a story or two you're bound to laugh out loud dozens of times and that brings me to the link people actually complain about the length of the thing it's not a movie where you have to watch the whole thing from beginning to end to get the entire experience just watch it in hour-long pieces if you need to it's great you can rely on for a few laughs even if you only have a half hour keep them coming so this is like this so this this person is thinking of the fucking thing more as

like a friend think of this fucking show as like a friend like when you're like down or whatever you could throw it on for 15 minutes it'll cheer you up just like it could be there for you if you like need some companionship something makes you sad or something like that makes you sad you just throw on 30 minutes of kevin smith talking about movie stories uh all right this is going to be the last thing we do i have uh stuff i have to do so we're making a i guess it'll be an hour 10 thing. It's a normal, it's a normal episode. Like this is Rob. You got it. You got to,

you got to get, you got to get a non Creek chair, a non creep chair, Creek Creek. Oh, you can creep all you want. Yeah. You can get a creep chair if you want.

I don't know what a creep chair. Tom, Tom probably would teach you all about that from Tom and bunny. Yeah. Into this room right here. Be careful if you order movies through Gold Belly. So. Okay.

I will. That's. Does he. So you're telling me actually they sell the food. Yep. He had vegan cheeseburgers and French fries made for under the movies name. And he did some pop ups and people people were like why don't you do pop-up in my town it's like you can't do a pop-up in every town so now he sells it on gold belly

what's gold belly we don't have that we don't have that in canada i don't believe i think they ship you food from iconic places in other cities for like a lot more money you know so like the best pizza place in in new york will send you pizza for like seven times the price of the pizza and you bake it oh you bake it i was gonna say it probably wouldn't be good by the time it gets no well now that's a problem with the kevin smith one he goes uh my wife ordered us about eighty dollars worth of movies through gold belly as a surprise for my birthday oh what a birthday present i got you nasty movies in the mail no way it's good no way it's good there's not somebody's probably listening to this and they're like oh i went to

good there's not somebody's probably listening to this and they're like oh i went to the movies and it was actually like really good but i got um i got these for i got this for my husband for his birthday because i'm hoping he'll leave me it came in today and everything was hot they used one ice pack i live in south georgia and it probably sat in a UPS truck for the whole day. We opened up the box to find melted chocolate and smelly ruined meat. Such a letdown. And my wife was in tears. I'm in no way. My wife's crying. Oh, the reviewer.

My wife is crying. That is not good for business. The worst thing that could happen to your business is if your wife buys you a gift and she's crying about the way you look. She's crying. You've made my wife cry. This is my beloved wife, who I love so much, the mother of my children, and you've made her fucking weep.

I knew I was a Kevin Smith fan, too. She knew that the thing that would improve my life was movies. I needed to try movies for my birthday. He had to try movies. improve my life was movies i mean the guy's got fans you know yeah yeah that's the thing i learned the most is that like he has a never-ending well of money that he can pump from those yeah the fans have stuck there because i think about it like there's guys like you know like you guys will watch the movies he makes now you know you have that nostalgic thing but yeah it's part of the usq universe i will and and like i feel like I kind of tuned out when like a little bit ago on some of the, you know, sequels and stuff. But like, you guys would never buy any of the merch.

I mean, Brian signed up for the Patreon. I'm hoping to get some coins in the mail. Yeah, I understand that. But like, you guys wouldn't. So but there are still these hardcore fans who are out here and and clearly he is like i am going to bleed them dry for as long as this is still an option for me yes he is a big fan he goes such a letdown and my wife was in tears i'm in no way blaming kevin but i wanted to warn others that this did happen and to be cautious it was our first time using gold belly so not sure if this is a common issue or not i just want to be clear i paid 80 for the movies and they sent me a bunch

of rancid hot meat but i am not mad at kevin i want everyone to know i still love kevin very much he did nothing wrong that whole thread really made me laugh super hard because there were so many people like yeah yeah, I got it too. And I used the thermometer on the meat when it got here and it was 90 degrees. Is this guy's fault? Does he know who works at movies? Yeah, that's a good point. Fair enough.

Yeah. He's an idiot. Order him from fucking Dante and Randall? Yeah, come on. These guys are known slackers. They put piss and flies in one of the drinks. Yeah, they're known ne'er-do-wells and slackers. You guys want to, this is from his Discord that I'm now a part of.

You joined his Discord? Yeah, because I'm a patron. I'm a patron. I see. So you you get that's one that's one of the perks yeah this guy goes cracking open my zach and mary dvd because my internet died oh yeah that's a good one zach and mary was a pretty fun one i like that i like seth rogan a lot i i like watching him he's a vancouver guy so i i did enjoy that one that one might have been the last one of his

that i really liked actually well this movie could and should be remade it could be more prescient now with only fans and the evolution of online sex work as a backdrop by the way anyone else jarred when they see old kev or well young kev i guess like not in a bad way at all just to make that clear and it's more than just the weight, no glasses, always wears a hat, totally different style. Just feels like a totally different dude. Sometimes looking back,

I would love to tune into my fan discord and have them telling me, you know, I, he looks weird now. They're right. As I mentioned it first thing, when I saw his photo, he looks fucking peculiar now but yeah

you don't need to be saying it about him not in his discord like say it anywhere else do you think he's in his discord yes yes i think he just bought bigger clothes true rob i agree this guy goes like it happened so gradually over time you don't notice how much change until you look back. And then a guy smeg must smeg master voices higher to longer jorts. Longer jorts. Those are just pants, dude. Yeah, those are pants. Yeah, that's why I want to make it clear.

It wasn't even a weight thing. Just overall, the whole package seemed to change over time. No, it's a weight thing. I'm sorry. It is. Like, the reason he looks so much different is because he lost a considerable amount of weight. That is the reason they look so jarringly different. Yeah.

And a guy goes, overall, the whole package just seemed to change over time. Whereas I still wear a lot of the same t-shirts I did in high school oh that's not a great way to be and I'm the world the world has changed some of those t-shirts might be inappropriate oh well I mean t-shirts from high school if you're 39 are significant. I mean, that's my age. Like, you know, he's right around my age, so he would have been growing up in the same era as me,

and I would say, yeah, I wouldn't be dressed in the same way, no. Yeah, no, you don't want to. Definitely don't want to do that. Well, that is Kevin Smith, guys. We don't know what's next week because this is the end of a run. September 19th is next week, and it'll probably be lawn guys. Unless I change something. Whoa.

Lawn guys. Yeah. We got a good run coming up, man. We got, we got, I'll, I'll read them off here real quick before we get to the, uh, the old, uh, Patreon thing. Cause the Patreon hasn't voted yet. They vote. Well, they have voted now. We got lawn guys, productivity guys, naked guys, sky guys, foodie guys.

And then we got to get a patron's choice. So that's coming up. Yeah, very nice. Patreon dot com slash murder X. Brian for guys plus. And, you know, anybody got anything to plug here? I just want to say,

I've like, I thought about it as we talked. I think Kevin Smith is like you, who like a bottle of you, who like, do I want one right now? No, no,

I'm 34, but it's nice to know that it's there because someday, I might be like, oh, yeah, Yoo-Hoo. And then I'll drink half of it and be like, it's not as good as I remember. But it satisfied something in me. And it reminds me of that time a little bit. I know what you mean. It's just nice that it's around. And it's like you can sort of be reminded of it in that part of your life.

But it's not really great. You're never going to watch a thing that he makes now and be like wow i was like moved by that film at least i'm not you know i will i wasn't moved by clerks three i actually thought it was the dumbest ass and yeah at the end and see his whole life flash before him he talks over the credits yeah so i i i did think clerks three was kind of stupid but if they make mall rats 2 which is the one he says he's gonna make i'll fucking watch mall rats well i'll you as i discussed that was the one for me so i will go watch mall rats 2 and i will be disappointed i can guarantee and i will watch mall rats one two yeah you better rob watch mall rats one please give it a shot all the way through it's an absolutely terrible movie

new kevin smith movies things that's that that is interesting to me is like they're so it's they're so they're sequels to things that were made like way in the 90s yeah and you're like trying to remember like clerk street there's a whole storyline where dante's girlfriend died in a robbery oh what was she sucking 37 dicks that's possible that is but hey she dies in a robbery somehow and i was like did she die in clerks too or was she alive at the end of clerks too or like i don't remember what happens in movies that far away and you gotta go back and watch before you gotta go back and watch oh i don't do that i don't watch movies twice i only watch movies once okay it's like a rule i have i'm serious I don't watch anything two times anymore I quit I don't have enough life for that

okay that's fair I'm not trying to force you Rob you have anything to plug I think you should do I I mean we'll plug your probably your sound cloud oh yeah I guess I
