Big dogs, defibrillators, and toned bodies. All this and more on this week's Last Looks. Hit the theme! Last looks, we're talking about last looks We're talking about last looks No more looks after this, yeah! Hello my Birkenstock bank robbers and hair clip surgeons. I'm your ambulance driver, Paul Shear, and welcome to How Did This Get Made? Last looks!

Where you get to voice your issues on ambulance, a.k.a. Ocean's 911. The tagline was courtesy of Vinod S. on our Discord. If you'd like to submit a tagline for our next movie, join our Discord at discord.gg slash HDTGM. Coming up later in the show, Jason and I will chat about all the stuff that we are currently into. Plus, as always, we reveal next week's movie, and I will share an exclusive deleted scene from our ambulance episode. But first things first, a big shout out to AC Gravy. People, I love that intro song, and I would love to hear more intro songs. If you have a Last Looks episode theme song, send it to HowDidThisGetMadeatEarWolf.com

But keep them short, 15 to 20 seconds is best. Alright people, let's get into it. Last week we talked at length about ambulance. We had questions, and we might have even missed a few things. Here's your chance to set us straight. Fact check us if you will, it is now time for corrections and omissions. It's corrections and omissions. Tell us what we are known as.

Thank you, Todd. Frohnauer for that great theme. I love Todd. Alright, we're going to the Discord. Lizard writes, I am not a medical professional, but even with my single first aid class, I know you cannot use a defibrillator on someone without taking their shirt off, especially when it is likely it has metal parts on it like a cop's vest.

And if Cam had done this, she would have noticed the second bullet wound way earlier, which she probably should have figured out much earlier anyway, considering that he was bleeding like a can of tomato soup. Boom! Calling out Cam. You know what, she maybe cools a cucumber, because maybe she doesn't actually understand how injured the people are. Maybe that's a different way of looking at it.

She's not cool because she's seen it all. She's cool because she doesn't understand it all. Anyway, thick boy, water too, thick thighs, writes Jake Gyllenhaal's assistant, who sprayed paint on the ambulance green, is played by the famous rapper Wale. And here's a short sample from his 2013 triple platinum single, Bad, featuring Tierra Thomas.

I love that. I mean, come on. Why wasn't he singing in this? He should have been singing while he was painting the van. A missed opportunity. Michael Bay, we should have had a video at the end, right? Like the same way that we had that LL Cool J, my hat's like a shark fin in Deep Blue Sea.

We needed a Wale song. Anyway, Unevolved Panda writes, I did some Michael Bay dog research, and according to a 2017 Variety article, Michael Bay has three dogs, all mastiffs. His dog in the movie is named Nitro Zeus, and he is named his other two dogs, Rebel and Bumblebee, after Transformer characters.

So, Michael Bay is self-referential all the way down. In 2016, after Bay read an article about a lonely dog named Freya, who nobody wanted to adopt because she had epilepsy, Bay decided to give Freya a cameo in the fifth Transformers movie as Anthony Hopkins' dog. Due to all the media publicity surrounding this, Freya was finally adopted by a family. Thus, I forgive Michael Bay for all of his moviemaking faults

because I discovered that he loves dogs. Well, there we go. All right, let's go to the phones. Scott from Toronto, what do you got? Hi, Paul. Scott, I'm a paramedic in the Toronto area. I wonder if any other paramedics or EMTs from the States called about the same issue. Our ambulances have what's called an ADL,

an automatic vehicle locator. It's a GPS system that shows who's closer to a particular call. That's how the Dispatch and Center knows how to assign an ambulance to a particular call. I guess I haven't seen an ambulance yet, but I think they must have just thrown that idea out the window. Love the show. Take care. Bye. Scott, you revealed yourself right at the end.

You have not seen the movie, so you would know that they do rip out that GPS locator. And that is actually a big part of the movie, the GPS locators. So that is ripped out. So the movie is perfect, and I don't know why you're poking holes in it. Go back to being a paramedic and saving people's lives. No, thank you for that, Scott.

Okay, this is somebody who didn't leave a name. We call them Anonymous, but not the people that are trying to take down Scientology, just a regular anonymous person. So Paul, I just listened to the ambulance episode, and there was one thing you guys didn't mention that was driving me crazy for the whole movie. You did ask what was their plan after the chase, but I'm wondering what was their plan originally

for the bank robbery. I know they skip over the robbery and when they hold everyone hostage, so maybe we're just supposed to assume that they disabled the cameras, but they weren't wearing masks, and they seem like such idiots that they probably didn't disable the cameras either.

They weren't wearing gloves. They're fingerprints are everywhere. I'm just wondering what was their plan originally before the cop came in? How are they going to get away? How did Will think he was going to just go back to his wife? Well, that's a good question. I think the original Heist plan was very simple.

It was just like the Heist plan from the movie Heat, so much so that I don't think they figured out much more than that. They're going to get a shitload of money and leave. Then they've done deal and if no one came and no one busted them, they would have gone and gotten that money, but then the cops were also following

the other bank heist people, but these were not the bank heist people. They would have been busted or they would not have been busted. I won't know, because we don't need to go that far. All we need to know is that it was an homage to Heat, and that was about as far as anyone thought about it. All right. Dr. Nans from New Jersey.

Hey, Paul. Dr. Nans from New Jersey. Comments on the ambulance? So the whole premise of the story is based on the character's wife needing experimental surgery. However, in the real world, anytime you're involved in a clinical trial for some kind of experimental thing, grant money pays for these. Insurance never pays for experimental treatment. So the grant money at the hospital running the trial would be taking care of all the medical costs for the surgery. That's all. Love the show. Bye.

Ooh, interesting. All right. Okay. That is good to know. I don't know why it needed to be experimental. Why couldn't you just have regular surgery? But thank you, Dr. Nance, to doctors so far or a doctor and a paramedic. That's amazing. Okay. Finally, Travis from Connecticut. Hey, Paul, Travis calling from Connecticut with a what I consider a huge omission in your ambulance episode. Maybe it's not. Maybe this is just how California works. But at the 30-minute mark right around there, our protagonist, Cam, the EMT, and her partner are walking on the street and talking. And a guy with a beard wearing what I can only describe as the robes of a mad prophet, go running past them at full tilt. There's absolutely no reaction

from either them or anybody else around them. And at first, I thought maybe that guy's running from the gunfight, but he's actually running in the direction of the gunfight. So again, what's up with that guy? Is that just the thing that happens in California? And if so, cool, but weird, right? Thanks. Love the show. Love you guys. Keep it up. This is interesting. I actually, let's just like, you know what? I want to throw it to all of you. What is going on with this bonkers bearded man who's oddly sprinting past paramedics? We pulled a video of this moment, right? We're going to put it up online. I mean, it is, it is bizarre. I'm looking at it here. And this seems to me like Bayhem in the most aggressive way.

I think what he's kind of commenting on in a way is, yeah, Los Angeles is a crazy town, and there are a lot of unhoused people going about their business. And it's so, it's so normal here in Los Angeles that we don't even acknowledge it anymore. And maybe that's a statement about the homeless population here in LA. And there are a lot of people who have a lot of money who don't like it, and they just want to kind of get rid of them. And there's other people who want to do something that's a little bit deeper. So maybe Michael Bay is on that one side of like, just get him out of town, because they're doing stuff like that. Maybe this is a social commentary, but I'll let you be the judge. Anyway, take a look at this video. We'll put it

up on our Instagram and socials. So you can check it out back to the discord. Leslie who writes, I have a second hand connection to ambulance the doctor on the golf course with the blue shirt and the French accent is a real ER doctor named Dr. David Farsi. He practices in Miami and volunteers generously at the organization where I work. He got the role because he's friends with Michael Bay. He did not tell anyone in his professional life that he was going to be in the movie. One of his colleagues went to see ambulance in the theater with his family and almost fell out of his seat when he saw his friend and coworker looming large on the screen. Well, that's awesome, Leslie. And you know what? Now I actually believe that this guy could maybe operate

through FaceTime. I believe that this is actually not unheard of, right? Or maybe I'm just thinking about another movie where there is a FaceTime going on. I don't know. Anyway, continuing on the discord, Dr. Guts1003 writes, after helping the impaled girl, Cam invites her partner for enchiladas. So when we see them eating, why is he eating sushi? Okay, this I do understand because that places they go to is Grand Central Market in Los Angeles. They got everything. They got barbecue. They got sushi. They got bagels. They got it all. So she is getting enchiladas, but he can get whatever he wants. And that's the benefit of going to Grand Central Market. You can kind of get whatever you want. You can get ice cream if you want it. So he wasn't enjoying

what she was enjoying, but she was going to the enchilada place. Go to Eggslut. He could have gone to Eggslut, which is a place. Anyway, so many great corrections and emissions this week, but there can only be one that is the best. And this week, the best goes to, you know who it is, Dr. Nans. Dr. Nans. Dr. Dr. Give me the news. You got a case of winning corrections and omissions. I don't know. All right. You don't get anything. You know what? You do get something. You got me singing a song, and you're going to get another amazing song from Seth Chatfield. Hit it! Rolls to the top to defeat all the others. You really honored your father and mother. You brought it home and you win all in. Guess what, buddy? You win nothing.

All right. Thank you, Seth. And thank you, Dr. Nans, for bringing the biggest plot hole into this movie. When I thought there couldn't be a bigger one, you found one. And we appreciate that. If you want to chime in with your own thoughts about the latest episode, hit up the discord at discord.gg slash httgm or call us at 619 Paul Ask. Coming up, Jason and I chat about all the things that we are currently into. We reveal next week's movie and I will share a deleted scene from our ambulance episode. Stick around. Welcome back. You have likely noticed on How Did This Get Made that every Monday we've been pulling old How Did This Get Made episodes out of the vault and re-releasing them back into the rotation. This week's Mattname Monday was

Fast Five with Adam Scott and keep checking out these replays of classic episodes every Monday. People, I'm improvising once a month with Jason Manzuchus in our group called Dinosaur at Largo. You can come check us out. Just go to Largo-LA.com. Also, we are going to be doing some big shows at Largo for the next couple of months. So check out the schedule. I think most of them are sold out. But every now and then, we release a ticket or two the day of. So keep your eyes open, keep your ears open, keep on following us on social media to find out more. And before we get into just chat today, I wanted to just briefly talk about something. For those of you who don't know, Lance Reddick passed. And Lance Reddick, phenomenal and John

Wick, amazing in the wire. Just a fantastic actor and somebody that I became friendly with after he appeared on NTSF, SDSUV. And we pulled him in to do fun stuff. And you see him on shows like Eric Andre and of course corporate, which I think he was so genius on. Anyway, we talked a bit about Lance in this just chat, but we recorded it before he passed. So I just wanted to call attention to that. And just take a moment to remember Lance. And if you only know him from, you know, things like the wire or John Wick, I highly recommend checking out corporate. He is so good in that. I also, I mean, I thought he was fantastic in NTSF. He played like this kind of crazed guy, Fieri character.

He was so great. He came to the set with as many questions and thoughts as you might bring to a drama when he approached comedy. He was just a good, fun guy. We actually recorded Fast Nine, The Fast and the Furia. It's a script written by Jordan Vandina who wrote The Binge Movies. Also is writing that new Dennis Rodman movie. And he came to play Tyrese and he just killed it. I just loved getting calls from him. I've talked about this on some other episodes of other shows I've been doing. And I just, I miss the guy already. And I just want to send a lot of love to his family, his wife Stephanie and his children. And with that, take a breath, think about Lance, send up some positive thoughts. And now Rob from Long Island plays into just chat.

Jason. All right. Here we go. What is going on? What is going on? What is going on? You were saying when we last spoke that you were busily catching up on all of the awards season movies, which I remain very, very on the outs. I haven't watched anything really and it's terrible. But I have watched, I have watched five seasons of Bosch in the last three weeks. All right. You know what? You mentioned this the other night and I was like, God damn it, I got to start watching Bosch because I know it's good. I know and I know I'm going to get into it. And so tell me, it really is peak dad TV. Genuinely, like I know I promised you that I was going to start Breaking Bad. Yeah. And I full blown have put it off. I'm now into Bosch.

How much more do you have? I don't know. I think I have two more seasons. It's scratching that itch that Justify did, which is great and richer. Just great, like fastball down the middle, like detective's detecting. It's really fun. It's really good. It is, I can't express this enough, humorless. And that is my greatest difficulty with it is that in moments where they're clearly, clearly would be levity, there is none. Like Bosch is humorless. Okay. And it's very funny, I think. I, okay. So I had this thing happen to me. I was going to the up front, the Amazon up front. And it was at Carnegie Hall. And I had to do a bit with Polar, as a matter of fact. So it was

super fun. We were talking about Twitch. And they bring me up to my dressing room. And my dressing room says Paul Shear slash the cast of Bosch. Oh, whoa. So I was in this tiny rehearsal dressing room for hours. They wouldn't let me leave, nor would they let them leave with the cast of Bosch legacy. So it was the new show. But it was still all the Bosch guys. It was, yeah. Was Lance Reddick there? Lance was not there because Lance was on the show. Yeah, Lance was not there, but it was, it was Jamie Hector. Yes. Jamie Hector there. Dude, Titus and I were in the same room. Titie, Titie, Titie, Titie Welle. You mean Titie Welle? Titie Welle. Mimi Rodgers. Mimi Rodgers is so good on the show. I mean, she's not in it a ton, but she is. In some seasons, actually she is.

But she's so good. Titus Wellever, Adams from Deadwood, my favorite. Incredible. Lance Reddick is unreal in the show. Jamie Hector is phenomenal in the show. I love Lance Reddick. Amy Aquino, incredible. Everybody, the show is murderers. It's great. Well, let me, let me say two things about this. Titus Wellever is fucking funny. Like we had a great, like, so he is a funny dude. Like, so like the idea that he won't even like, or that the scripting doesn't allow. It must just be in the books. It must, the character must be, it must be from the books that there aren't really jokes, because there really is not, there is no levity. And that's that. But otherwise, I mean, it's, it's, you're going to love it also because it's aggressively set in LA. It is like, it is like

truly shoehorning LA specifics constantly. He's constantly getting in and out animal style. He's stopping by El Compadre to get drinks with these guys. He's going to Shake Shack. He's going, he's, Oh, I love it. It's LA. It's so funny. It's like when we did ambulance with Roxanne Gay, we're talking about how many LA, iconic LA landmarks we recognize in that movie, LA Center Studios, like all that, all that stuff. It's like our iconic pitch that never has been made into a movie, Jason Statham, Los Angelinos, right? You know, just getting around to get some doopars. Oh, doopars, doopars is very heavily featured in Bosch. I won't say, I won't say who, but there is a major, a major murder that happens right out front of the doopars in the Grove. Like, like,

assassins kill someone out at the farmer's market at the Grove. It is, Bosch is, I'm just constantly being like, come on, Bosch. It's great. Like, oh, it's great. And by the way, Lance Reddick, who I love, Lance Reddick, who I put in NTSF and it was and killed it. Todd Broger, proud of seeing your dicks. I know you are Broger and you and your goons, they're not welcome here. So get out. Yeah, I heard about you. So what, big deal? I killed the dog and make a big federal case out of it. Everyone's done it. No, you're bouncing skills. They're unmatched. I don't do that anymore. But you're doing it now. Right. But this is more of like a limited time special engagement thing like a McRib. Someone with the power to shoot off a man's head.

You're coming very handy in the slow fast food world. No. These hands will never remove another man's head. I promise myself and the people of Peter that. No. That's a word I don't like to hear. Just like hypoallergenic. I just realized something about Lance Reddick, who is, I think, an untapped comedy fucking genius. He is 60 years old, which means when he was the fucking old guy in the wire, he was 40. He was young. Like he was the old guy. Like I feel like he was like the real superior. Like it's so crazy to me. And he is, I mean, just fantastic in this show. He has both, he gets to do incredible like detective, you know, you know, ball breaking on Bosch. He's Bosch's captain and chief, all that kind of stuff. But then he has throughout the

seasons, this incredibly emotional storyline that is that he just destroys and is fantastic. He is really great. He is so good. And you know, I loved him in fringe. That was a show that I really loved. And I think the fringe scratched for me that like X-Files, Lone Gunman itch. I never watched fringe. It's good. It's very good. I think they did a great job with it. I think it was like, there are moments like the X-Files where it kind of like lost its way at points, you know, like, and they're, and they follow the X-Files formula. I feel like a lot of those network shows have that the shows that had to do 22 episodes a season. I feel like a lot of those had like slow periods or where they seemed a little lost or whatever.

And fringe, like the X-Files, if you just want to enjoy it for the actual like the legacy story, it's great. And you can just do that. You can kind of take out all the extra episodes. Like you can get rid of those. Oh, that's interesting. That's cool. By the way, you're talking about, you know, we have a lot of stuff to watch. I know we have a lot of stuff to watch. First of all, I'll say this. You should be happy to know that I finally was able to introduce June to Letter Kenny, Spelling Bee episode.

Oh, how was that? She liked it. And that was a huge, that was a huge for me. And you said Spelling Bee episode. Yes, because you, I had asked you a while ago, which one should be the starter? And I trusted your opinion. June, and she gets into this on Deep Dive, she gets manicures in our bed, manicures and pedicures in our bed. So, and oftentimes it's happening very late at night, like 10 or 11 o'clock at night. Oh my God.

Bow is coming over. So I am trapped in a moment of like, if I need to get up early, like there's a man in my bedroom giving my wife a manicure and pedicure. But when I have her there, she has very little room to, she knows, she knows that I'm being put out. So I can pick really what I want to watch. And that's when I was able to get Letter Kenny on and she really enjoyed it. Oh, that's great. I need to go, I need to like find my next moment to do it, but we got one out. Have you guys tried, have you guys watched any of Poker Face? Natasha?

Yes, I watched the first two episodes, but I watched it alone. It's great. I really enjoy it. I think this is dynamite. I really, really like it. Straight up my alley, like Colombo Detective, you know, Colombo meets Incredible Hulk. Yes. She drifts from town to town solving cases. I love it.

I love it. I really, really fun. And what I was going to say to you is what I found myself doing the other night was I was, you know, I was a little bit stuck for what I wanted to watch. I got into that moment of like, oh, but I want to watch this and I want to watch this and I get freaked out. And I said, tonight's the night I start Yellowstone. Oh, wow. And I put, I did, and Jason, I did not know what the show was about. And I was severely mistaken by what I assumed.

And what have you watched it? Yeah. Holy shit. I haven't watched all of it. I haven't watched all of Yellowstone because they're up to, I think they're in like 60 seconds. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I'll probably, I'll probably slow it down. But the opening scene of the first episode, and for those of you, that's not a spoiler because it literally is the first image of the first, like there's been a wreck on the road.

Kevin Costner, little dinged up, is talking to a horse, then takes his gun out and fucking blows the horse's brains out to, you know, to save the horse from its suffering. And when I saw that, I was like, what? This is, like, I was like, this is where we're starting. And then I saw the person who looks like June, and then I was like, holy shit, then that becomes like secession. And then low income housing in Native Americans are enemies. I'm like, what are we up for? It's basically like Midwest Sopranos succession.

Wow. It's fun, and it's, it's fun as hell, man. It's great. It really is. Get involved with Yellowstone. Again, just peak dad TV. You know, TV for dads by dads. I am, I am. Kelly Riley, I think is fantastic.

She's so good. I think, I mean, everybody, Costner's great. Everybody in the show. Well, Kelly Riley, just so you know, I'm constantly fielding compliments for Kelly Riley. Because. Oh, is that right? Because they all think it's June. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And so people, like, I was talking to somebody the other day, and they said, I just want to say, like, wow, like, congratulations to June. She's doing so great. And I, you know, look, if someone's saying that to me, I accept them. Oh, yeah, I mean, it's amazing, right? And she's like, yeah, wow, we just love her on the show. And then I'm like, okay, maybe it's Grace and Frankie, you know, I'm like, I'm like, but it seems like it's not in a way too.

I can't quite tell, like the, and she's such a badass. I'm like, okay, I still think it may be Grace and Frankie. And she's like, and the success of it is just wild. I mean, it's like everyone's talking about it. I'm like, wow. And again, I don't know until they say, and what is it like with, you know, her, I'm like, oh, oh, she's not on Yellowstone. Holy shit.

That's incredible. Yeah. So it is a constant, like, and like, they don't look exactly alike. It looks, it almost looks like June wearing a wig. Like it looks like June doing a character. And she's phenomenal on it. But I could tell how people are confused. That's a riot.

Yeah. Oh yeah. She's great though. And I mean, she's great. Bentley's great. Like everybody on the show is dynamite. I was excited to see Wes Best. I mean, it gets pretty nuts as the seasons go on.

And that's a little bit when I started to kind of fall off of it. But I want to get back into it because I know that a lot of these spin-offs are really good. Well, McConaughey is coming in now for Kevin Costner. Yes, exactly. Which I also like. I'm curious, you know. I have been, I did the opposite of, not the opposite, but similar to you

on a night when I was just like, you know what? I'm just going to start something. You know, something that I've long thought of starting, but haven't. And I'm now deep into season one of Peaky Blinders. Peaky Blinders. Oh, Peaky Blinders. Oh, them Peaky Blinders. How is that?

Fantastic. People love that show. Holy shit. Peaky Blinders is, and I don't know, I'm only in season one. So I hope it maintains this level of how good it is. Yeah. Because it is dynamite in its first season. Incredible performances from literally everybody.

Killian Murphy. Incredible. Another Jean clone. Killian Murphy. Oh, yeah, you're right. If June got that haircut really buzzed on the sides, it would be pretty nuts. It's a great cast. It's a great show.

It looks fantastic. It's a blast. It's got that anachronistic, same guy Steven Knight did. That show I talked about, SAS Rogue Heroes. It's got that same like Nick Cave does a lot of the music for the show, and it's, which is incredible. It's a blast. It's a blast.

Well, then the lead. Oh, I was just about to mention the, because we've talked about a lot of like the DC animated movies and stuff like that. There's one out for Catwoman called Hunted that is terrific. Oh, really? That's a great, I think it just recently came out. It feels, it's a very like solid pulpy noir crime story that has, that feels a lot like it's inspired by the Ed Brubaker Darwin Cook run on Catwoman in the comics.

It's not one of those stories, but it's a very, it's a very similar type of story. It's great. Oh, I got to check that out. I just actually wrote breaking news here. I wrote a Harley Catwoman special comic that's coming out in a couple of months. A book? Oh, that's great. I just like, yeah, like a little mini, it's an anthology book and it's a little heist story.

And I love that character. That's so fun. And speaking of DC, I thought the Valentine's Day special for Harlequin was really good. Fantastic. Fantastic. You know, I've been, that's one of those shows that I rewatch a lot. You know, just as I'll throw an episode on in the background and that show is pound for pound, maybe the funniest show on television.

It's really good. Except maybe for the now recently canceled South Side, one of my absolute favorite shows of the last bunch of years. I think South Side is so funny. It's so funny. Just got canceled. Please let the people know that they should be watching South Side. And just in case, let's also please everybody watch these other shows that I feel like need love,

like this fool. Oh, yeah. That show is incredible on FX. There's so many great shows that I feel like are on that bubble. I just got to work with Bashir, who he's so good. And I was so psyched to kind of just, I kind of nerded out on him because he's really funny. It was like, yeah, he's really, really great. And I liked his other show that he did.

Sherman Showcase. Also great. Also great. He was great in Top Gun Maverick. Yes. Fucking fantastic, man. So fun. He's funny in this movie that we are in.

I guess we kind of play enemies. I mean, I don't even know. Oh, that's funny. Yeah. I mean, loosely. But yeah, he's really, really funny. Like what a great like energy. And yeah, I love that stuff.

I mean, how can we ever catch up? And I think the people are probably furious at you that in all these series that you're starting, that Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul not on that list. I know, but I am also deep into Doctor Who for people who were interested in hearing my journey through Doctor Who. I'm like so heavy into Doctor Who. I think it's absolutely fantastic. I'm so, I'm furious and will offer apologies, genuine apologies to everyone who's been saying

watch Doctor Who to me for the better portion of a decade. Because you're right. I do love it. It's great. I'm obsessed. So that I will happily talk about at some point if we want. I want you to have a proper partner for that because I feel like I can't, I would like to join you at one point, but there's so much.

You know what I'm excited about to check out right now? And I feel like everybody's been going back to it is party down. The new season just came out. And I'm so excited to see what they do with this. I'm actually wanting to save it a little bit. Oh, sure. You know, because it's hard when things are all out at once because I sometimes will be like, well, let me try and just watch one.

And then I'll watch another one in a couple of days or something. Try because I, for some shows, I want it to last. I don't want to just like blaze through in a weekend all the episodes of poker face. I'm glad that they're forcing me to watch it week to week or whatever. I take my time on that kind of stuff. Like I literally watch, I watched those first two episodes of poker facing one night. I was like, okay, now I'm going to stop for a couple of months and I'll go back. Or I'll go because it's like it goes by too fast.

Yeah. There's a great show. We just spent a couple of days doing comedy in Telluride, Colorado with the hilarious Tim Baltz, who is just so, so funny. You might know him. He's on Eastbound and Down. He plays Edie Patterson's husband on that show. One of the great comedy pairings that's on TV right now.

But he did a show a number of years ago for CISO, the now defunct network CISO. This show has now found its way onto Peacock. It is called Shrink. And it is not Jason Siegel's show Shrinking. It is Shrink on Peacock and it is super funny. It's only one season. I think it's eight episodes. It's a blast.

It's all, it's a huge swath of great like comedy performers from Chicago and LA. Super funny, great, great show. And you can just crush the whole thing. It's, he's really, really good. He's one of those guys who, if you listen to comedy bang bang. Oh, I said, thank you, Molly. I said Eastbound. Eastbound and I mean Righteous Gemstones obviously.

And Righteous Gemstones. We talked about that here on the show. That show is so good. I can't wait for this. I said to him, I said, you know, I'm so excited to, you know, to see where you guys go. But I'm also like, I'm scared because the show is getting darker and it started pretty dark. And, and he was like, he's like, there are nights where I would go home and I would be in bed and be like, did I say that?

Like, you know, like, and, and, and I'm like, so that makes me very excited for More Righteous Gemstones. He also has a podcast called Hey Randy. That's on, that's on CBB world. Okay. If people aren't on CBB world, they are missing out on some truly iconic podcasting. Hey Randy, incredible. Lily Sullivan's podcast, this book changed my life is incredible.

Seth Morris is, this is when I'm biased because I'm on a lot of the episodes. The Bob Duke podcast is just a full throttle with Bob Duke is some of the pound for pound funniest stuff I've ever heard. It's Seth is doing like next level stuff. Seth and Aaron Whitehead have a show that's called College Town. There's just a lot of great stuff on that. I don't know. It's not a Patreon, but whatever that, whatever that CBB world ecosystem is,

there's a ton of great content in there. But Tim and Lily's podcasts, I will specifically single out again. We were just with them in Telluride and did a bunch of hilarious shows. Their podcasts are fucking hysterical. I love it. And I pitched this podcast when we were on stage and I want to give it a better pitch here, which is Valley Heat, which is hosted by Doug Dugay, who's a freelance insurance adjuster, trying to figure out who's using his garbage can as a way to distribute drugs.

And it all takes place in the neighborhood of Rancho, Equestrian District and Burbank. And it is a, I mean, I'm not going to, I'll blow it because whatever, but it's a, it is a comedy podcast, but it is impossible to figure out like who this guy is because he hides his identity so well. It's so funny. And it is there, if you, there's all I say is listen to the first two episodes. If you're not into it by the first two episodes, well, then, you know, then you're not going to love it.

But I guarantee you when, by the time you get to the advertiser that is advertising, what do you call that a frisbee golf? The frisbee golf advertiser in, in, in episode two summers here, and that means frisbee golf is here. I don't know if you've tried frisbee or plain golf, but you put those two things together and you have a great summer activity. All you need is 18 of those chain net catchers, a frisbee, a few friends to play with, and anywhere between 150 to 200 acres.

And you can play an amazing game of frisbee golf. And why just play frisbee golf when you can run your own frisbee golf course? Oh, I see. This is an ad for actually building your own frisbee golf course and making it available to the public. If you are the owner of anywhere between 150 to 365 acres of forest or flatland, you can start your own frisbee golf course. If you're not on board by that. Oh, funny.

Check out. But that, that made me, I, I felt like I had to pull over to the side of the road. Yeah, yeah. It's really, really fun. And that was given to me by Seth Morris. And who, you know, again, a huge fan of good characters and podcasts. So there it is. Jason, I feel like we, we got a lot of stuff out there.

People are now overwhelmed. And, but I always a pleasure to chat with you. And let's, let's do it again real soon. Absolutely. All right. Thank you, Jason, for just chatting with me and to all you singer songwriters out there. Remember, we're always accepting new theme songs for just chat and last looks.

Now that we got ambulance out of the way, let's talk about next week's movie. We are going from tons of drone shots to tons of Stallone shots. That's right. Next week we are watching the 1994 action thriller, The Specialist, starring Sylvester Stallone and Sharon Stone. Oh boy, I cannot wait. This will be Sly's ninth, how did this get made movie appearance? Here's a short breakdown of the plot.

A woman entices a bomb expert she's involved with into destroying the mafia that killed her family. Ah, you got to take down the mafia with bombs. Ron Tomato gives this film a 10% score on the tomato meter. And Hal Hinson from the Washington Post says, with all the preening, posing and stretching, it's hard to know if The Specialist is an action movie or an exercise video. Boom.

Anyway, take a listen to the trailer. The government taught him to kill. Word is, you're the best. Now, he's using his skills to help one woman seek revenge against the men who killed her family. You think the killing is going to make everything all right? Something has to. Silent, come on.

I don't want a problem now that I'm yours. I'll close your heart in my hand. Sylvester Stallone, Sharon Stone, The Specialist, rated R.

I had a friend who worked on a movie and all he said was that like... You had a friend who worked on a movie? On a Michael Bay movie.

Sorry. Savage Flex, here. No, really. Wow. Sorry, guys. I had a friend who worked on a Michael Bay movie. Can you get me an audition? Can you get me an audition?

I'll talk to him. Let's see. My friend who worked on a Michael Bay movie told me the story that they're shooting a scene. They had their script there and he goes, I can't use his name. I'll just say like Smith. He goes, Smith, heard you're funny,

not funny now, be funny. And that's how he was directing him in the scene. He didn't even have anything to be funny. He's like, be funny. Just screaming at him, be funny. We all know that's what it really will bring about the comedy.

Be funny. That's the direction. The script, which is not funny.
