It's time to do it over talking about paintings that inspired performances and just how fast a horse can run. You'll understand all of this in just a second because now it's time for how did this get made? Last looks. Hit the theme! Last looks, last looks, say something before it's gone Because it's las-looks Las-looks

This is the opening song Well after this one palm moves on What is up my blue lipstick man and my French mermaids I'm your host Paul Sheer and welcome to a very special super sized edition of Last Looks That's right today on Last Looks, we are not only going to be talking about Dungeons and Dragons, but also the King's daughter.

We're going to have special guest galore because later in the show, we are joined by how to disg it made All Star. Ike Baron Holt will be here, know him from episodes like cellular on the line and That's he's gonna be talking about his brand new improvised comedy podcast called the Chris Chapman do over which is hilarious since I've interviewed him. I've listened to two episodes and they are great Basically, he's a shock jock who is trying to get back from being canceled. It's him Lisa Gilroy Jack who is trying to get back from being canceled. It's him, Lisa Gilroy, Neil Casey, some of the funniest people ever,

and each week, very special guest stars. It's done by the same team that did Amy Poler's improvised podcast, Dr. Sheila. So we'll get into that in a little bit. Plus, we're gonna reveal next week's movie, but before all that, a huge shout out to Quinn for that opening theme, Quinn. Thank you.

That was awesome. I loved it and we want more songs. If you have a theme for last looks, send it to how to this get made at your wolf.com. Please, but keep them short. Previty is the soul of wit and we will all appreciate a 15 to 20 second song. I mean, it's just the way it goes. People, you might have heard this last week, but I'm gonna repeat it again. I'm gonna repeat it again for a long time.

I wrote a book. I literally just finished the copy edit of my book seconds ago. It is called Joyful Recollections of Trauma. And you can pre-order it now. You can get it as an e-book, you can get it as a hardback. You could get it as an audio book. And I beg you, get the book, get the book.

It's important in the publishing industry to sell books before they actually come out. I didn't know that. I want to tell you a little bit about this book really briefly. This book was made truly because of you. How did this get made audience? And I'm not saying that hyperbolicly. When I started telling these stories on the show, you made supercuts. There were blog posts about them and you kind of gave me this feeling like, oh my gosh, maybe there is something here that I could turn it something bigger. So I started writing

and I'm, I love my book. I mean, thankfully. No, I'm excited, but I put a lot of time into it and I really wanted to do something that was special. Something that I think gives you what you want, but also something you don't expect. And I think I accomplished that. The only thing I know I definitely accomplished is I need more. I need to do it more. I love this process, I love writing.

I started a sub-stack because I want to keep on writing. And love this process. I love writing. I started a sub-stack because I want to keep on writing. And if I actually sell a bunch of books, I'll be able to maybe make another one. I don't know. Oh my God. That seems daunting after the last 10 days. I just had. Anyway, joyful recollections of trauma is the book. It is a collection of childhood tales and more. You can pre-order it wherever you get your books. And here's the other thing. We know that how did this get made has an amazing group of people that support local public libraries. The easiest thing you could do is just go to your local public library's website and request they buy my book. That's actually great too. It's like buying a book, but

you don't have to spend any money. Although I would love you to spend some money on the book. I don't see a dime of it, but I'll tell you this much. If you pre-order the book and if you save your receipt, I have something very special for you, something that I'm going to mail to your house. And I'm not just talking to one person. Why am I doing this? I'm spending a lot of money to do something crazy because I appreciate anyone who would go out of their way to purchase a book. So that's why I'm doing it. You can go to my website, you can go to how to this get made website and you'll see links to get the book.

Anyway, more on that, I'll talk about it a lot, but I'm excited and the audiobook is going to be fucking fun too. How did this get made is on the road. We're continuing being on the road for a little bit, February 3rd and 4th. We're going to be in San Diego and San Francisco, get your tickets there. And we're going to be in Europe from March 28th to April 3rd. We're going to be in London for two nights. We're going to be in Glasgow.

We're going to be in Belfast and Dublin. And man, I got to tell you, London and Dublin, I think we're sold out in all those shows, which is amazing. Belfast, I'm looking at you. We got to, we're close, but Belfast, let's get those tickets going on here. Belfast, show them what you're made of. We'll also be at the Netflix as a joke festival. May 8th through the 10th at Largo. Whoo!

So many live shows, so much going on. Books, podcasts, so many things. We'll be talking to you. Oh, by the way, I might actually include you on the audiobook. Well, we'll get into all that. All right, let's get into it. During our last two episodes, we talked at length about Dungeons & Dragons

and the King's daughter. We had questions and we might have even missed a few things. Here is your chance to set a straight fact check us, if you will. It is now time for corrections and omissions. Alright, thank you, cool skull for that great theme. First up, we will be talking about Dungeons and Dragons, a film that Discord user, Graham S. thought should have had the tagline Dungeons and Dragons, D&D by way of Dumb and Dumber.

I like that. I like it a lot. Can I give you a pitch to improve a Graham? Just D&D, Colin, Dumb and Dumber. That's how I would say it. I mean, I was stealing your joke. All right, let's go to the discord grumble bottom rights I know poor morgan got overworked for no pay and that dnd episode and I thank him for his service as a long-time player and

Sometime dungeon master. I sympathize with him go morgan Also, how did that entire episode happen without mentioning that Richard O'Brien riffraff from Rocky Horror and Mr. Hand from Dark City was the head of the thieves guild. And that the elf king was played by Tom Baker, the fourth doctor from Doctor Who, who turned down the role of Gandalf in Lord of the Rings, justice for riffraff and the fourth doctor. Now, let me just nerd out on here. Scott, our amazing producer, and I teamed up here to kind of do some research. Counts do vary about whether or not Tom Baker was actually offered the role or simply made it to a short list, okay? They're not sure that, you know, I don't want to to I don't want to cite anybody who got the part either way

Baker said he would have turned down the role because he wasn't willing to leave his wife for an 18-month shoot in New Zealand So that's what he got there Little did he know that he could have brought his wife potentially or I mean, who knows? Again, I don't want to judge anybody. I would probably have a hard time leaving anywhere for 18 months as well That's a long, long time. But why didn't we mention Richard O'Brien and Tom Baker? I don't know because it was not that on a list of the most insane things in the movie falls like in the deep 80s.

Anyway, Dungeons and a Dragons write some info regarding the conversation about the dwarf's height. Although the producers were looking for someone under five feet to play a very tough dwarf. Five foot four actor Lee Aremberg said he told them I got a few more inches, but a foot more talent than the other short people they were auditioning. And Aremberg said he compensated for his taller height by walking with the stoop and spreading his legs wide. Guess what? Didn't work and I gotta say five foot four and even at five foot, not really what I think of when I'm thinking about that type of a character when I'm thinking about that type of a character. Great performance, but I don't think he fooled anyone. But the talent was all there.

Dr. Gut's 1003 writes, so what exactly is really getting knighted for the end of the film? He was responsible for bringing the red dragons to Ismer, which created more harm than help. Then he opts not to kill Jeremy Irons, leaving that up to Thor a birch to care of. And if we're saying he's worthy of being knighted simply for going on a journey then the rest of the crew deserves a similar honor or is this like a

Chubaka situation where only the white guys receive the honor despite the others going on the journey boom slam you know what dr. guts I 100% think they tried to copy star wars there and they had no reason why there there was no reason given and and maybe it was a badge of dison, maybe it was a dishonorable discharge he was getting. He should have gotten a dishonorable discharge at that point. Bigger rights as a long time dungeon master. Oh wow, we got a lot here. I've had many players like the snail's character at my table.

They still random stuff all the time and mouth off to villains that are much higher level than the characters. All of that is fine. But often leads to hijacking the story and making it all about their characters. I wondered if the absolutely brutal killing of Snails in the movie was a nod to those types of problem players. I know I killed the problem PC's at the table and it's similarly brutal fashion so they could come back as another character that might fit the table better There weren't enough nods to the game in general to make me believe that that is true

But I really wanted Damon Wains to come back for five minutes after snail's death in a slightly different costume and inexplicably Join the party seamlessly that would have been really like D&D. Okay That's actually a pretty great idea, but I don't really have enough experience to give my take on that. I do have the experience to tell you that it wasn't Damon Wayne's in the film, it was Marlon Wayne's.

You were close in the Wayne's world, but not the right way. But anyway, like I i said i'm not a danger matter i don't know maybe she called some help here from a true danger master morgan what do you think hey biggie you're right not to believe it the movie doesn't sickle snuffed to the source material for a deep cut like

treating sales as a problem player to be intentional sales didn't even hog the spotlight as paul pointed out ridley was undeniably the star of the movie, and having a star at all throws any concept party dynamics out the window. Jason's guess that Wayne's needed to cut and shooting short to do a recommend for a dream seems more likely. But yeah, the beer fest gag of I'm Snails's brother Dale's, and I want to help you finish

what my brother started, also to honor him, call me Snails. It's a time on our tradition in old school D&D, as that game could be quite lethal and making an identical character to the deceased was easy and let you still use the deceased's equipment. Boom, thank you Morgan. Morgan, working the phones, we cannot get enough of Morgan. Alright, and as we are working the phones, let's go to David from New York. Hey, Paul and crew, this is David here from New York. Hey, Paul and Curtis. This is David here from New York.

I'm going to be known as the James Cameron almost directed his movie. Basically, the producer of the film was a really big fan of Dungeons & Dragons, and he reached out, got a hold of James Cameron. James Cameron came in for a meeting to direct a film and the head of Wizard of the Coast who owns some James Cameron's time. I think it's still on the map, not sure. Anyway, the person who was in charge this woman I thought got her name decided to tell James Cameron, why should you direct them to the dragons? What can you put into the table that will help this make a good film?

Essentially acting like he was a nobody. So James Cameron got pissed off. The fact is that he didn't want to do the movie with good reason. And the producer couldn't get anybody else, so he decided to direct the movie, which is why it's so horrible. But yeah, the guy behind some of the best films in the 20th century got told by nobody that he didn't matter. Anyway, so I will let you go.

Have a good one guys. Thanks a bunch. You know what? Honestly, this is a movie that probably was around forever. And I could see James Cameron actually doing a great version of this movie. According to the LA Times, France for Coppola and Rene Harlan were also attached to direct at certain times, but deals fell through. We might even have talked about that on the show.

I think it's one of those movies where everybody has a meeting on it. I remember a couple of years ago, everybody I knew had a meeting about doing the M&M's movie, you know, like, how they have those M&M's before, like, you know, like the funny M&M's, like, you know, like the funny M&M's, like, you know, something that's like, were you attached, were you interested? Well, who knows? You were there. You did something.

I would have loved to see any of those people direct this film, but clearly it wasn't going to happen. These people, these producers pissed everyone off. Let's hear from Jackie in Brooklyn. Jackie, what do you got? Hi, Paul. I was at the show in Philly during the episode. You guys use the word sector, which is a great word. And is the word that I wish they used in the movie.

But they use the word rod throughout the movie to talk about the rods that they were holding. I needed to find all of that. And I guess this is really a question for Morgan. But I was very surprised that it's a Dungeons and Dragons term or if that is just something that they use in the movies because it's for kids and it would be easier to understand. But anyways, that's it.

I think so much. Happy New Year. And I'll just give a shout out to my friends, Maria and Kevin and their new son, Miles, that I went to the show with, who was just born on New Year's Eve. All right, thanks so much, bye. All right, Rod Scepter.

Again, I don't know the answer. I have to throw it to my dungeon master. Morgan, is it a rod? Is it a scepter? Hi Jackie, good guess. Rod is in fact a classification of magic items in D&D, which scepters would fall under. Iconic examples include the rod of rulership, rod of wonder, and the immovable rod. But the Iconicaim to control dragons is actually an orb of dragon kind.

No idea why the movie decided to use a rod instead. They could have just made the orb on the end of the rod and called it a day. Maybe they had a leftover prop from another movie and had run out of money. Thank you Morgan, setting the record straight once again. And finally Morgan from Philly. What do you got to say? Hey Morgan here and I have a few corrections and omissions of my own. Jason mentioned how Marina barely uses her magic even when it would be super helpful. This is one of the few D&D things the movie got right. I'll bait perhaps unintentionally.

Paul clipped about her being in her first year wizard school so she only knew one spell. But Paul was right on the money here. Wizards learned more spells as they level up. Not only that, but mages and D&D can only use their spells a finite number of times. A first level wizard, before this movie was released, could only cast one spell per day. Then they had to resort to using a crossbow until they got a good night's sleep. Later additions of the game gave mages weaker spells that could be cast over and over again. But to this day, stronger effects like opening portals or zapping a whole crowd with lightning

are still finite resources, which mages have to judiciously manage. Okay, wow. I, all right, I am surprised that is accurate. Well, I guess, you know, maybe it's not great for a film. You know, it's like, oh, Schwarzenegger in this is a robot terminator, but in this movie, it isn't kill. I don't, I don't agree with it.

I agree with what you're saying, but I disagree with it. Anyway, so many great D&D corrections and emissions. Thank you to Morgan for jumping in here and answering all of these questions. You know what? Morgan was such a true, a great sport this entire time. People loved him. There were so many overwhelming comments about him, and I just wanted to give Morgan a chance to say thank you to all of you who supported him.

Hey, how did this get made, fam Morgan here? It was an honor to wrap my fellow Philly nerds at the show, hearing 1800 people chanting my name on a stage I've seen Neil Gaiman speak on was one of the wildest experiences of my life. Since then I've been telling the story to anyone who would listen as I eagerly awaited the episode drop, and I've also been DMing four campaigns and playing in three others. I'm not really on social media, but friends have been showing me the lovely posts you all made across different platforms. Seeing everyone support has been incredibly flattering. And if you're not

sick of me, some fellow audience members interviewed me for their podcast, Trip B. You can check that out. I've also been lurking on the How To Disgit Made subreddit and was considering doing an AMA there. Throw some posts up if you'd be interested in that. Thanks again to Paul Jason and June for letting me hold the mic and to Philly for giving me one of the best nights of my life. Thank you Morgan and we'll be right back after a quick few words from our sponsors. Welcome back, that is enough of Dungeons & Dragons. Now it is time to get into corrections and omissions from the King's

daughter, a movie that Discord user, Pawn Paloma thinks could have had the tagline, The King's daughter, my so-called mermaid. Yes, I love it. So-called life reference, I'm into it. Let's go back to the Discord. John, not Connor writes. The gang pointed out several instances on how cheap and thrown together this movie seemed. One more example is that when the quartet is supposed to play the special mermaid dissecting Requiem, Marie destroys their instruments to sabotage the ritual. Or so we're told. Because as soon as Marie buss in on them, we smash cut to the next scene and we never

see her destroy the instruments. Clearly, the instruments were rentals. Boom! Wonderful eye. You are 100% correct. But didn't she smash up some instruments earlier too? Like when the king was listening to music, I feel like they had one set to smash and they couldn't do it again.

I forgot this movie because it feels like that was recorded like last summer. Sean McBeer writes, just to expand on Paul's point about Versailles being far from the water, I looked it up and it is roughly 115 miles to the nearest coastline, which is the English channel. So here's some math. In the absolute best circumstance, a horse can ride about 100 miles a day, though typically it's 20 to 35 miles. A solar eclipse from start to finish

lasts about two and a half hours with totality lasting seven and a half minutes at most. All this to say is that the idea of getting from Versailles to the shore during the course of the eclipse is just about impossible in a car and no stretching of credulity makes it feasible in this film. Thank you Sean for doing the math. I also like how much leverage you gave a horse from 25 miles a day to 100. I feel like you really, you really are being paid by big horse. Okay, rocket Wesker writes, the movie did give an explanation for why the heroine can breathe under water. One of the mermaids powers is that if one swims close enough to the mermaid, then that person

is able to breathe underwater too. Yes, I think we knew that. But this is also why Captain Jack Boring was able to escape for Si with the mermaid through the water. If I recall correctly, the heroine also told the king about this and listed it as one of the reasons why the mermaid should be considered sentient. All right. So, but are you saying that you could force the mermaid to give you that power? Because it feels like the mermaid like grants it. You kids can't take it. Anyway, I don't remember that part of the movie or even our issue with it.

So all I'm going to say is, yeah, you're right. Let's go back to the phones. We got Eric. What do you got, Eric? This is Eric. I'm a history teacher and I wanted to say a couple of things about the king's daughter. First of all, I don't know, if you look up to the 14th, there's a very famous painting

up in the 6th and I wanted to top up with a Wikipedia page where he has like an outstretched arm and he's holding his stuff there. And Pierce Brosden, on quite a few occasions of this movie, basically hits that pose, he does the exact same thing. And I don't know, to me who I've shown the painting and my class and all that stuff, it just looked physically weird. He didn't really do any research, he just looked at the picture and was like, okay, I got it.

Anyway, thanks. Oh my God, you know what, Scott, our amazing producer, he actually found that portrait and several screen grabs from the film We'll put this on our social media here, but you're right. Yes. He's a straight-up stealing that post You know some people it starts through a physicalization. That's where the acting becomes some people put on a costume and they become the character Pierce Bros and was like give me a scepter or a rod again. I don't want to get into that debate And I'll be this guy i mean it clearly this is what i have an issue with clearly lee the fourteenth was posing for a picture

pierce brothers and decided that uh... his lee the fourteenth would always be posing for picture oh my god this is amazing you have to see his pictures and now let's go to andrew from new jersey i apologize isn't to the king's daughter and i have to see his pictures and now let's go to andrew from new jersey hi Paul I just listened to the king's daughter and I gotta say I was looking into the book the moon and the sun that it's based off of because I thought I know it's based on book that's the thing and then it's the type things to some of your background or fandom the author vanda macken tire actually wrote several novelizations of star truck movies

including raffle con star truck three the search 4, and Star Trek 4, the Boyage Home, which has been discussed on the show before and I just thought you would think that that was interesting. Thanks so much. Hey, I love it. I love a Star Trek novelization. I've read many Star Trek movie novelizations. As a matter of fact, I have a whole book shelf full of movie novelizations to the lost art that I wish would come back.

Well, way to go. I feel like we should not be judging this movie on the book, right? Vonda and Macintyre shouldn't take any shrapnel from what happened here in this film. I would like to go read some of her Star Trek movie novelizations and relive all my favorite moments from Trek. Anyway, great corrections and emissions this week, but there can only be one winner. I have to tell you, this is hard to do,

but I think I'm giving the winner out of all the calls to Eric. That's right, Eric. You finding out that Pierce Brosnan made his entire character choice based off of painting? Truly is the most mind-blowing thing that I've heard on this show in quite some time. And you know what? Because of that, you are going to get an amazing song from our friend, Casey Campbell. Hit it, Casey. You are gonna get an amazing song from our friend Casey Campbell hit it Casey Okay, if you want to submit an all-movie tagline or chime in with your own thoughts about

the latest episode, hit up the discord at discord.gg, such as HDTGM or call us at 619-Paul Ask. Coming up, Jason and I are going to be joined by Ike Baronholds to chat about his hilarious new podcast, The Chris Chapman Doover, and so much more. Plus, as always, I will reveal next week's movie, but first, get ready, because we got a bonus scene from our King's Daughter show. Take a listen. Sir, what's your name? What's your question?

Jim, and my question is, who do you think did the free willy escape better? Will he the killer whale or the mermaid? Escaping over the wall of the grotto holding holding The guy she's Captain Jack boring in her arms Well, yeah, why could she escape at that moment? Again, this is where when I watch a movie like this, it makes me dumber, but I'm like, is there a reason why that was a moment where she could escape? I feel like maybe something happened with the wheel that they did.

I don't know, Paul. Yeah, the wheel was a part of it. He came up on that wheel. That was spooky. Really spooky. That's when I realized I was like, these guys look too much alike I realized I was like, these guys look too much alike.

Because I was like, who is that? Is that the boyfriend or is that the evil guy? It was also, the wheel was moving so slowly. He had so much time to get off of it. And she has, so you watch her work out every single detail of... every single detail of... and he's like... and she's like...

this shit goes on for so long. In a movie in which every scene is 15 to 30 seconds long itself They are cutting scenes of mid sentence from people. They it's so not working Everybody I think you probably all have notices but every Monday we re-release old episodes Online in the stream. We don't have a vault right now. So that's the best way we can combat this. And we are putting some fun ones out for re-release. This week's Matt named Monday was freejack, was in Claire and Phoebe Robinson. And next week will be the Jean-Claude Van Damned Classic Street Fighter with John Gemberling. So keep on checking out these replays. Okay, now it is time to welcome to the stage

The podcast to the recording How did this get me to all star a true staphim maniac? We're gonna talk about the beekeeper. Oh, you know it Tom McWaters play us in as we meet Ike barren holds an old. We're gonna have ourselves a conversation just chat no quarantine or vaccination just chat. Falling Jason a couple of cats just chat just chat shoot me to boo boo boo boo. First of all, I'm excited that you're here. We'll just jump right in and say Boop boop boop boop. First of all, I'm excited that you're here. We'll just jump right in and say, do you know the premise of the new Jason Statham movie,

the Beekeeper? The Beekeeper I do. He is just, he's just a simple humble beekeeper, former assassin. Former assassin, former black- I'm so sorry to tell you that I have read the script for Beekeeper. Whoa! I'm jujube to you that I have read the script for Beekeeper. Whoa!

Oh, I got my mits on that script. I got my mits on that script and it's a blast. There was someone in the trailer that I was like, oh man, that's a man, Zooka's part. Basically, he's friends with Felicia Rashad, Jason Statham, an older woman that he takes care of her bees, and then she gets like internet-fished and then commits suicide, and it goes off to like, avenger death, which is a great- This was Patty Chaevsky's last trip, right? Yes, yeah.

Yeah, he wrote network and death. This was based on a Trump, adult and Trumpo idea. I just thought there's some rumors going around that like there's apparently a twist in the movie that was based on Hunter Biden and Joe Biden. Why? And they're like, and then some makers like, no, no, that is not true. This is no, there's a old confused man and his son was dick out. That's not based on this.

It's too different guys. But so the so there is this thing with the beekeeper where like, you know, she's being internet fished, scammed and like they cut to like the guy doing it. And like he's in a room of like all these people like dressed super fashionable like they all went to Zara and they're all on computers. And he's in the center on a headpiece and like he gets her, you know, bank information, he's like, yeah! Oh, he's like, just bumps and like,

like a wolf of Wall Street. Yes, and I was like, as opposed to just a massive call center in Bangalore. Yeah. I just love that it was like super, like they tried to make it like real sexy. What's going on here? Yeah, no, it's gonna be,

I cannot wait to see it. The reviews are literally like, Oh, they're good reviews. Oh, great reviews. I was gonna say, I can't wait to be doing how did this get made live in 2005 for the baby. I don't do it.

I don't, maybe we'll do it, but it is a lot more, at least when I read it, I was like, oh, this feels a lot more like it wants to be playing in the John Wick style versus like a Chev Chalios, a crank Jason thing. So what I understand though, it's still like really fun and super crazy, right? Like there is. Yes, I mean, quite a lot of his, uh, assassin skills, I think I'm allowed to say because having, having read it are because are using explosive honey

and other, what be, other, be related things. Well, you know, J.S. is probably still very, like in mesh and the be like, he's probably on set at his new movie right now being like, ah, she put honey in your tea, eh eh? You know the honey comes from a bloody fucking bee. You know what? Once the Queen dives the hive is lost completely. I'd like to have you come down and check out my A.B.A. re. Have you seen my A.B.A. re? Just give me one second and I'm gonna put on this yellow jacket. I got it. It's coming. I got it. It's easy. It's easy. It's island. Park. Come and misconception. Wops and bees. Very different.

Wops and all. It's nasty. But these are actually peaceful. But bad news for you. I'm not a bloody bee. We gotta do it. We gotta do it. We have a good way. We have a good way. We're out of full use through the podcast. That is just the three stathoms. Yes. I'm all in. I'm all in do it. We gotta do it. We have to do our idea. We're out of full use through. The podcast that is just the three stathoms. Yes, that's the stuff. I'm all in. I'm all in for it. I'm loving it.

The whole thing is all we want to do is get a chance to interview Jason Statham. That's the ball. Which until then is on the table. At one point, I feel like I had heard he was, like he was amused by our fascination by him. Oh really? Yes, that's incredible. I hope he understands that it is nothing but legit fan worship.

I think he is the grever list man, who's ever fucking lit. This is not like, oh, Steven's house. And like an Olympic diver, like he just is like, he's like, do you want it? Do you want it? All, model doing it all. Olympic diver, like he just is like, oh my god, a model, a model doing it all. The guy got, he's got the goods. I love it.

I love him. I'm obsessed. And we need those, we need, we need a movie called The Beekeeper. Like we need, we need this. Our culture needs the extended beekeeper universe when we get there. Absolutely.

E.B.K.U. Yes. By the way, speaking of extended universes, Ike, you are now in an extended universe. I'm in a Marvel movie. I'm in it. I did a Marvel movie. Sorry.

Sorry, Marvelous Miss Macyl movie. Oh, wait. I'm playing Steed Allen in season six. Very excited. Breaking news. I was I was I think that's the crossover. That's the crossover I want. Marvel's Marvel is Mrs. Maisel.

So you have it's the Marvels. You get all three of the ladies and Miss Maisel's there. So you got to shoot in Marvel. I mean shooting lasers and then Miss Maisel's like, but I'm not a super hero. Pretty good hero. But gotta remember, she's also Lois Lane, isn't she?

Oh. Is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is, is it, is it, is, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is on that might be wrong. Maybe I'm maybe I'm right. I audition for Superman. I haven't heard back yet. So I'm still yeah me too. We should check it. We should follow up on that. Yeah. I can't imagine a world where I didn't book that but like we'll find it. I mean, we'll see I my audition for Superman, my character was shirtless and I and I did that shirtless and like you put the shirt on And I was like, yeah, I didn't take fun take for mine. I was, I did my audition. It was like Superman, but what if he's kind of dealing

with a bout of acid reflux? Like a imagine of Superman ate a really big dinner of the night before. And he just, like a little bit of, like a mile burping during the hour. A little, little, little, little, little. I did my nude. I did my nude because I assumed that the suit was CG.

You know, I assumed the suit was VFX and I'm like, they're gonna put it on me. They're gonna do that themselves. They did that for that vision. So they can see how you look at the movie. I'm like, I listen, I gotta, I have to show them the canvas that they're gonna be painting. Of course, I mean, that's the whole thing. It's like, you know, I gotta, I have to show them the canvas that they're going to be painting. Of course.

I mean, that's the whole thing. It's like, and I, you know, I do all that kind of work. I got into an extreme regimen that I, for the audition, you know, and I gained a lot, I gained a lot of weight. I just drank the protein powder. I didn't actually do the workout and I found out that that made me very bloated. I just like James, the idea of James gun looking at a board that has like a one picture of like the kid from the bear, like one picture of like Jacob the Lordy, Jacob the hunks.

And then just the nude man's who kiss. He's just like, which way do I go? All right, this is interesting. I like this. You know, look, I'm open to interesting ideas. I worked on this movie where one of the actors is now in Superman, but between he was working on a movie, the strike happened, and then they came back. He got Superman in between, right? Like, or the, wow, some version of it.

So anyway, the movie was shut down for weeks and weeks because of the strike, and he came back to set just jacked to the max. And we were like, Oh, this isn't going to match the rest of the movie. Where you were not. Well, one arm was jacked from holding a sign all day. I think they got like throw him in like like sweatshirts for the rest of the movie. Oh, that's hilarious. Oh my God. We got to get jacked. Guys, we've got to get jacked.

We got to talk to someone years ago. Uh, I think it was Mark Duplas. We talked about like, we don't want to go crazy, but what if like six or seven of us just shared, like, low doses of HGH with each other? Just a little bit. Yeah. Like the, the, the, the, the syringe comes.

I shoot it. I run it over. We're staring at needles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold on, hold on, hold on. We're all saying, we're all sad to clean it off. Yeah, you clean it off, you wipe it off. Not Jason, real quick.

You know, just wipe off your arm, you wipe off the needle. Hello. Yeah. I shoot a little bit. I drive over to your place. Paul takes a shot. He drives it over to your place and then it's so on and so on. And then we'll all feel a little tiny bit.

That's all I'm looking at. This is gonna go perfectly with my, I'm also creating a new form of Vio Asca. I'm calling sure Asca. And it's gonna be tiny. And it just a little, it's just a little devil do you know? And this is like a number. You just have a little bit of diarrhea for three hours.

My thing is, my thing is, I don't like that ayahuasca right now as it exists is for everybody. I wanna do it just with my bros and I wanna do gaiahuasca. And it's just, it's just a bros weekend where we do the sacred herb and we just go nuts but just with the guys. That's what we need.

I actually, the real shit is if you can get in and you can go to Korea and you can do Gangnam style with Siahawasca. No, it's not actually. Sure walk. It's a short, lovely walk. And Siahawasca is what they're doing in Korea. That's what I've heard. Oh my God.

So the extended universe I was talking about that you are in is this, I don't even know what they're even calling it technically, but Amy Polar cast. A podcast, but Amy Polar has this world that she's creating. She's doing these like improvised comedy podcasts and she started off with this one called, same more with Dr. Sheila and Jason, I were both on that, you were on that

and you were hilarious on that. Thank you. As we don't and you have now spun this off and now you have your own, you have your own podcast during doing that character has his own podcast. Yes. Sorry. Dr. and it's I think it's actually there's a question mark. Oh, yes. So Dr. Sheila, because she's not really doctor. But the last one of her series, she interviews Chris Chapman, who I play, who was a former podcast star, I would say, got it, went through a little mild cancellation like we all have. Sure. Actually, Jason has to be, Jason, you're getting canceled next week, I read.

Oh, is that right? It's going to be really weird. I'm pretty excited. A lot of hours involved. Yes, crazy. The tracking, the tracking is looking good. Tracking's looking good. I have you in my fantasy canceled roster

and you go back to as you think are gonna get canceled in the next year. But he's a guy who kind of went through that and he was, he was for the boys. He was a guy, you know what I mean? He was for the boys. He was a guy, you know what I mean? He shows for the boys. And he's kind of coming back and he's gotten a new podcast, but it is, it's contingent on him getting at least one percent female listeners. And so to do that, the

podcast company has paired him up with a female co host who's person named Frankie played by Lisa Gilroy, who you guys know hilarious. The mess. Just like such a star, I think, and huge. Just literally one of the funniest people that I've ever played with us in dinosaur a bunch. She's on jury duty and she's on this brand new, well, I don't even know if I can talk about that yet, but she's on a brand new cool show on FX that's going to be coming out soon. She's amazing. And then I also brought with me my old sad kick from my old podcast, the professor who's

played by our friend Neil Casey, who is truly one of the great comedic geniuses of our time. Well, not, not an understanding. No, one of the funniest guys and he is the professor, right? He's the professor. Now, is this kind, like I am, I grew up with Howard Stern, I love Howard Stern. Like is this more Bubba the love sponge

or this a little bit more like the, like or is this more of a, is this opian anthony? Yeah, like what world are you living in? Joe Roganese? It's really Don I miss. No, I'm not a Howard Stern. I miss guys. I'm a I miss. No, I'm not a house guy.

I miss guys. I have life. I got you don't have boy. I don't have a boy. No, these guys, he's a little bit, host a lot of those guys. This guy was influenced by some of the great dumb podcasters that we all got in love who have zero expertise and incredibly uninformed opinions based off of horrible data.

He was one of those guys. He was one of those guys currently adapted to a podcast probably. Are you doing a lot of research for this? Are you going deep? I mean, because I imagine I know that you got to play a character you're improvising within this character. Are you just, are you like just going deep into like archives of podcasters and just taking it all in? It's basically like a member in the mini series Chernobyl

where they're like, you have to get off the roof within 37 seconds or you'll have, like I've, I've basically been on that roof for like three years now. Just like listening to every. Just consuming. Yeah, and they're getting dumber and dumber and their derivatives of derivatives now,

and I listen to a lot of them. So yeah, I've exposed myself to some pretty toxic stuff. Are you like, are there things that you're like on your show? Like, do you get excited to do a, because I'm assuming, do your episodes have a theme or a topic? Yes. In each episode, like, so are there things that you're like, oh, when in this, in my version, I'm going to come at this,

this way, or this is a, I want to play in this space completely, whether it's vaccines or whatever, only eating meat that you've killed or whatever. Every episode has a guest that we will be interviewing, and that guest has some kind of expertise, some kind of specialty. By the way, your guests are amazing. It's like Armas and Ashinacol Black, Sinclair, Ego, Busy Phillips, Alistair. Crank in your house skis, fights. Cacky. It's just, it was a ridiculous group of friends we got to come and play. And exactly to your point, Zooks,

like it was really a fun opportunity for me to just kind of be like, what was the dumbest guy I know who is trying to sound smart and trying to appear to be like, you know, all knowledgeable, what would his reaction be to that? And, you know, again, you have Lisa and Neil you're bouncing off of. And it's totally improvised. Like, it's all totally made up. And it was, it was the most,

it was the most fun, I think I've had performing this year, just because we never, whenever we do, like when I do, you know, dinosaur with you guys, it's like, it could not be more fun, but all those scenes are pretty short to three minutes or so or less. And this to be able to sit in a studio and get to really go deep and record for 45 minutes an hour with someone, you really, you don't get to do that a lot when you improvise. So when Amy first kind of brought this to me and was like, this is a chance for us to improvise and just kind of have fun without having to, you know, be on stage and just move fast, it was irresistible.

I loved it because of that reason. Amy show because you just committed to a character and you just let it go. And people don't have the patience for that on stage often. Like, they have to be in the right mindset, to even see that. And so this is amazing. That's real special.

Yes, same. Yeah. That's the same. Like when St. Clair and I did the show with Amy, you know, it was literally it felt like jumping back in time. Yeah. You know, to like a point where it was just we were doing stuff together that was just making us laugh.

You know, that was really exploring and about discovery and making surprise discoveries and stuff like that. And in doing so, finding real, silly, funny stuff that was genuinely delightful, that you wouldn't have found in a two minute quick improv scene or a whatever. You know, so I think on a process level, this is dynamite. Yeah, it was, it was just, yeah, it was so much fun. And it did give you the vibe of like, you know, improvs change so much now, you know,

you get like a big shows like dinosaur, whatever, but you used to have dozens of shows. And you find yourself in a show with someone who's like, hey, you want to do a two person improv show tonight and we'll play this. And you never get to do that anymore. So to get that chance again was just so much fun. Now Paul, I will say, Paul, you read the list of guest stars

on the podcast and I don't think you read your name or my name. Let me see this. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm just wondering, so I'm just checking my notes here for questions that I had for you. I can, the question I have is what the fuck, bro? Yeah, okay.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I knew this was gonna come up, boys. All right, all right, no. I knew this was gonna come up. And basically what it was, we had a talk, we talked budget. And as you guys are very well aware of your quote for doing a guest spot in the podcast, we're talking, we're talking $47,000. Yeah, I mean, that's the worst thing.

You know, we've been in the podcast game for 13 years. And respect to you, I'm not saying you're not worth it. I'm not saying you're not worth it. Thank you for not saying that. What are you saying? I'm saying for the amount of money we were given to produce this podcast, we could not sign off and being like,

yeah, it is expensive, yes. Because then we would be left with six grand. How do I cover my transportation, my hair, makeup, my glam? Now you do know that you don't need to do that. Well, okay, again, I don't want to- It's an audio format. Yeah.

It is an audio format, but we're taking stills the whole time. We're popping stills. Okay. You know, there's gonna be a cover, there needs to be cover art. I just wanna look at it. I also, as I know you guys have heard of this, I am not my funniest if I don't look my hottest

And that's and that is something I feel like people don't talk about men don't talk about that that much So yeah, they don't they don't so it was a strictly budget thing But from what I'm hearing if we hit the numbers we think we're gonna hit yeah season season two We're talking we're talking we get like five, six million bucks in episode. And I pay your quotes, I pay your family's quotes. I said, I, we've got transposed for you. We got snacks.

We got the whole thing, but it just, we have to do it this way at first. I understand, I understand. So we should probably say, Paul, that we should encourage our audience to start listening at season two. Yes. No, no, no, no. No, if they don't think it's this, then they don't listen now. We're not going to get to a season two if we don't have your guys band.

All right. I see. I see. I see. If you want to be on the show, please plug the show as well. Or do it like this. Subscribe to the show now. Let the episodes download.

Don't listen. No, no, you got a list. You got a list. You do need to listen. You got a list. But turn down the volume. Listen to the whole thing. Because they need to have the completion rate

to make sure that they do. If you're listening for us for the, how did this get made boys? Then season two is where you want to start pumping up that volume. Yeah, just down later style. Yeah. Well, that is interesting.

Can I tell you that I, when I first came out to LA, I just want to talk about like these guys for a second because when I came out to LA, Tom Likus was, Oh my God. There was before how it started kind of gone on to serious. So, you know, like you've been missed during the morning, you wouldn't get him later. And I listened to Tom Likus.

And what I always loved about Tom Likus was like, how much he loved wine Like you know, we'd be talking about he'd be tell you one one side of his mouth He'd be like this is how you get your girlfriend to have a make shift abortion And then and then and then talk about the fine wine that he had last night at dinner and All right Well, so last night I had a beautiful silver oak cabard and Morton. So now we're going to to titty titty Tuesday. Hark your horn. Ladies never much if a man hawks is horned you. You have to show up your breath. Hey, Tom. Uh, can you, uh, can you give me a

bong it? And then we don't have a, like, uh, I guess, anytime, anytime with something that I've been out of hand, bro, I'm about to be arrested for murder. Can you blow me up real quick? I cannot recommend James Adomeans, Tom Likus, impressive. I didn't get him for me so many times. It's the guy who did it. I did a comedy bang bang episode, actually with Amy Poler, Jason, myself, and Likus.

It is one of the funniest things I have ever heard in my life. He is so disgusting with Poler. He's like, I bet you, I bet you want to have sex with this. Don't you? And she's like, oh, he's like, I bet you, I bet you want to have sex with this don't you. And she's like, oh, he's like, I bet you do, dear. He's like, I bet you do, dear. He's like, I bet you do, dear. He's like, I bet you do, dear.

He's like, I bet you do, dear. He's like, I bet you do, dear. He's like, I bet you do, dear. He's like, I bet you do, dear. He's like, I bet you do, dear. He's like, I bet you do, dear. He's like, I bet you do, dear. He's like, I bet you do, dear.

He's like, I bet you do, dear. He's like, I bet you do, dear. He's like, I bet you do, dear. He's like, I bet you do, dear. He's like, I bet you do, dear. He's like, I bet you do, dear. He's like, I bet you do, dear. He's like, I bet you do, dear. He's like, I bet you do, dear. He's. It is, it is, yeah. Because who the fuck does Tom Likus? Oh, yeah. That's the brilliant of a donut. I thought I was gonna say,

maybe it's the two fuel houses. I mean, maybe it should be, like Likus should come on your show. I feel like that's what we're kind of, maybe TZ is a 100, what not 100, Lobby up top. I don't know if you remember,

this may be, I may be talking way inside baseball, but you know when a asked the comedy festival, that was the thing that like, what happened that HBO would put on people will come, they would do their shows, get all these great comedy shows from all over the country, primarily LA Chicago, New York, and they would do their shows there. And Tom Likus was always set up in the lobby of the main hotel of the Aspen Comedy Festival doing that show.

Like, you know, so he was wearing a big dark sunglasses all in black. And I remember just walking by him. I didn't know who this guy was, but to just know that he somehow weaseled his way into that festival. Just to be the lobby, loud ass lobby. And he wasn't even getting people. He was just doing a show. It was a sort of like, I'm here.

I'm also at the comedy festival. Give it up, give it up. Ha ha. Oh my God. Oh, he was great. Great guy. The podcast is the Chris Chapman Doover. It's available wherever you get your podcasts.

It's, they really are, these are great funny shows with hilariously funny people. I mean, this, when I knew that you, Neil, and Lisa were doing a show together, like, this is, does it downloading it?
