But first things, first a giant shoutout, a big shoutout to Chris Cheney for that amazing opening theme song. Chris, I love it. If you want to send in the theme song, not a How Did This Get Made theme, but just a last looks theme. Send them to How Did This Get Made at Your Wolf.com. Keep them short. 15 to 20 seconds is best. Now, if you are listening to this on release day and you live in Minneapolis, we are in

Let me tell you, we are doing it up great. How did this get made?

You can get them both have fun and make sure you check out the exclusive how did this get made wrapping paper for the how did this get made fan in your life. All right, let's get into it. Last week we talked at length about New York Ninja, a movie that
Starting point is 00:02:55 discord user, Farmboy. I love Farmboy. He's been helping me out on tech. Back in the day, Farmboy says the tagline for New York Ninja should have been better late than never Okay, I like it. I mean I put some spin on it But it's simple and you know what sometimes simplicity is the key You all know that when you hear a good second opinion song. Anyway, we had questions about New York Ninja We might have even missed a few things here Here's your chance to fill us in. Set us straight. Fact check us.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Whatever you want to do, it is time for you to shine on something I like to call corrections and omissions. Hit the theme. Collections on omissions. Yeah. Thank you, Alon Osborne for that great theme song. Let's go to the Discord. Discord is as always Discord.GG-HDTGM. Alright, Baba says my theory with the birthday thing was that both he and his wife had the same birthday
Starting point is 00:04:01 simple, sturdy. birthday simple, sturdy. All right, I like that. Dr. Guts also weighs in on the birthday party debate, saying, I did want to correct Paul on one thing. All right, Dr. Guts, what he got? When John is on the roof with the birthday decorations, he reads a postcard, not a birthday card. My guess is whatever was written on the postcard
Starting point is 00:04:24 was something different than what he says in the movie. Oh, all right, I like that again. Doesn't make full sense, but I like that we are getting to the bottom of this. Anybody else want to talk about the birthday party? Oh, well, here's somebody right here. Rocket Wesker writes, my interpretation of the Ninja Swords at the birthday party is this. John Liu used to be a ninja, but he turned his back on that life after he met his wife and just worked as an ordinary sound technician, probably promised his wife he would never go back to being an assassin again or something along that line.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Then his wife got killed, so he took his old weapons to the rooftop and started crying and saying sorry because he was returning to the life of blood and shadow. The one he promised her that he would never go back to. Now that's drama, that works. I like that. Jim Jamrites did anyone else notice that the ninja seems to lore Randy into the park to be kidnapped for no reason. He calls her and tells her to meet him, then he hides in a tree while she is taken, but then he doesn't follow her or use her as bait to learn where they took her.
Starting point is 00:05:34 She's just gone and he leaves and does something else entirely. Gemjam. Yes, makes no sense. Now I'd imagine that's due to the fact that the movie is re-edited and re-dupped. Sean McBee writes, I watched re-enter the New York Ninja, the YouTube documentary about the making of this film. By the way, I also did it after the show,
Starting point is 00:05:56 but Sean, tell us what you got. Sean says the only original cast member in the documentary is Adrian Meltzer, the actress who played Randy, and she puts an end to the wig debate once and for all. Here you go. The biggest issue for me was the platinum blonde wig. So of course I auditioned without a wig. My agent didn't say anything about the wig and all of a sudden the first day on the shoot John presents the wig. And I'm like, what? And he said, he said no no for the european market you've got light eyes
Starting point is 00:06:28 they're very big on flattened blondes and so you're gonna wear the wig i thought oh okay and then the wig became my life isn't that great and june is wrong any chance i get a chance to tell june she's wrong when she's not here i'll do it no i said that clip around to everybody after the show. Sean McBeat continues with some other great nuggets. The balcony monster was correct about John Luzware about and making this film vinegar syndrome was able to track him down Through another cast member. He lives in Vietnam and a shack on the water with no electricity and has a friend who goes and visits him about
Starting point is 00:07:01 Once every three months that friend friend brought tidings from the company about the effort to complete the film. Louis responded he did not wish to be involved, but sent along a good luck blessing. Okay, nice, simple. I mean, John Lewis, a controversial person, I don't wanna get into it too much. The initial rough cut was made determining the order
Starting point is 00:07:19 from the scene numbers on the slates. That order was apparently incomprehensible, which is why they decided to re-edit and make the most sensible story they could in their own way. Okay, so they didn't just completely go rogue. And then finally, he adds two more thoughts. I can confirm what anyone watching this movie suspected from the start. No permits were acquired in the filming of this movie. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:41 And then my own observation, not gleaned from the documentary, John recognizing the killer of his wife by spotting his cufflink would indicate that despite having lost one cufflink, he continued to wear the other all on its own with a mismatched mate. Bam! Wow, that is honestly, I'm there for that. Johnny Unusual writes, despite that one audience member's insistence that vinegar syndrome remakes old pornos, they really are distributors who clean up and redistribute cult movies. Initially, they were focused primarily on ex-rated movies, and yes, their catalog does include a lot of film from the golden age of porn.
Starting point is 00:08:17 However, there are a lot of ex-rated movies that aren't pornographic, like in a cowboy. Scoop then chimes in. As a boutique, blu-ray, physical physical media person, I just wanted to say that vinegar syndrome is the criterion collection for exploitation and genre pictures. They restored and re-released the unrated cut of Tammy and the T-Rex and do incredible work giving a second life to pictures that would ultimately turn to dust otherwise. I am a huge fan of vinegar syndrome. This is Paul talking. I met them when I was doing an unspooled show in New Orleans and I will say this. They are putting out great stuff I would like and maybe I'll put the offer out to them right now. Would you like to release human-giants season one and season two on DVD because no one else is doing it.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Vinegar syndrome. Let's go. Let's do it. I did release human giant season two, which has never been available anywhere at Videats. So if you're in LA, you want to go to Videats. I have a brand new section there called The Pulled From Streaming, a bunch of stuff that you can't get anywhere else. Tim C. writes, not a correction or omission, but I just wanted to share that my 12-year-old saw his first movie boobs in New York Ninja, sad face emoji. The wife and I were watching in prep for the live show and he walked right in as they unfolded on screen. He did a grandpa Simpson loop right back out of the room. He refused to believe me when I told him that they were her knees. Oh man, Tim, her knees. What a memory from our first How To Disgit Made live show. You know, I, I, seeing nudity in a movie for the first time is kind of why I, I remember it burnt into my mind and for me it was being at my grandparents, I say at HBO
Starting point is 00:09:53 and risky businesses on and I thought, oh, risky business. This is a kid, he's cool, he's like me, you know, I mean, as a, I was very young, but I saw myself in Tom Cruise, He worked sunglasses and dances underwear. And I remember going like, what, like that movie is way adult. I think a lot of people also, Scott included said that their first, like, nudity scene was Starship Troopers. It's weird because these are movies that you don't always expect.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Risky business, I probably should have, I mean, from the plot, but I just turned it on and I was shocked. I remember people putting their hands over my ass. Anyway, Cherry Cola writes, my question is how often do people think gang members actually high five when they're doing gang member stuff? I feel like there's a lot of bad dudes high five in these movies and it seems so weird to me.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Also, a lot of cackling, just cackling and high fives while doing bad guy stuff. Well, Cherry Cola, maybe the warriors set a bad precedent. Yeah, gang members in the 80s seem to be a little bit more upbeat. They're kind of like, they're, they, they, they, it's kind of like a fun gang. It's like kind of like our gang, but they murder. Sean McBeer writes one more time because I got one more thing. I love the New York Ninja button that John has at the end of the movie. It's fully branded with the name of the company
Starting point is 00:11:02 that made the film. You can read it to the 21st century distribution corporation. Wow, I wish we would have made those. Maybe we should have made those. Maybe we can make those. Should we make an I love New York Ninja pin? I hope vinegar strokes hasn't made it. I'll check it in. All right, so many great corrections and omissions this week, but there can only be one
Starting point is 00:11:19 winner. And honestly, I always look to people to do some extra work. And Sean McBee, this week not only did you do extra work, you came in multiple times. Sean McBee, there is only one winner and it is you. Honest jams, give him what he deserves, Honest James. Thank you, Sean McBee. Remember, if you want to submit a movie tag line or just chime in with your own thoughts, hit us up on the discord discord.gg slash hdtgm or call us at 619 Paul Ask.
Starting point is 00:12:02 And before we go to break right now, I wanna just talk about something because this is brought up in the live show. We cut it out of the live show because we didn't wanna be defaming anyone. So I thought we should just read the statement that vinegar syndrome put out. Cause you heard me reference it a little bit earlier where I said,
Starting point is 00:12:19 John Liu is a problematic guy. And a few discord users also pointed this out. So vinegar syndrome has said this. It has come to our attention that the allegations of inappropriate conduct with actors were made against John Liu concerning the events that might have occurred in the 90s. While we cannot confirm the legitimacy of these claims, we can confirm that John Liu was not involved in the restoration or re-release of New York Ninja, nor associated in the making of Doc.
Starting point is 00:12:45 So that's all we really know about that. So thank you to everybody who pointed that out. Stick around after the break. Jason and I are gonna judge your songs and we're gonna talk about some stuff that we're into. It's a little mix and match here. All right, plus we're gonna play an exclusive bonus scene from our New York Ninja show.
Starting point is 00:13:00 We'll be right back right after this. How is this gonna be? How is this gonna be? How is this gonna be? People, every Monday we're releasing a brand new episode. That's right, well, not brand new. Old episodes, old brand new episodes. Matt named Monday is what we call it. And to tie them together with old and new episodes
Starting point is 00:13:16 last week, we did Ninja 3, the domination, which is really fun. I love Ninja 3, that's the V8 one where they have like a sex scene with V8. So check back every Monday for a brand new Matt name Monday. And now surreal failed. Okay, I want to apologize because last time I missed pronounce your name. So we're using your awesome theme one more time to make up for it. Surreal failed. Thank you for that. And now welcome my friend, Jason Manccicus for a little just chat
Starting point is 00:13:51 What's up jerks it's time for just chat with Paul Sheer and Jason man, sookas All right Jason it's time once again for how did this get made idol. We are listening to new theme songs. Ken John could not be here today to judge with us. He is busy on the mask singer, but we will be I like that. We do have Nick Cannon. All right. Yeah. Now Scott, you that. But we do have Nick Cannon. Alright, for yeah, now Scott, you do have to do your best Nick Cannon. Scott, our producer has to do our best
Starting point is 00:14:30 Nick Cannon to set up every song we have. We have listened to some before. We've given feedback. People have sent back the notes and this is great. We're putting them into the pot. We're listening. Here's the thing for those of you who might not be up on this. We are taking submissions for new. How did this get made theme songs? Because shock of all shocks, the current theme song is 10 years old. Did you say? 10 years old. You know, and I will tell you this.
Starting point is 00:14:56 And I love it. I get this. This may be this may stay. I love it. But I also love our original one. I just also feel like, Hey, we, we made a transition to the new one. We had one that Devon played when we were on the road. People were open.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Paul, are there any theme songs? Podcast theme songs that you love or that you so closely identify with the show or that you listen to, you know, like that you don't fast forward through. Oh, that's a really. I fast forward a lot of theme songs for podcasts. The ones that I don't are doughboys. Love the doughboys. Yes.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Yes. Yes. I love the original blank check theme song, the old one. And, and, and what I'm trying to think of what other ones, the old binge mode one I used to love, but there are some that I listen to because they get me excited for the podcast that I'm about to listen to. They lay down. The way that a good TV show theme song does,
Starting point is 00:15:54 the way that I watch every theme song of game of thrones or whatever, you know. The one that I find myself humming a lot is the theme to Elvis Mitchell's show that he used to have. Where it was like, it was like, bend it, don't break it. There's a, there's some, you know. I just love that song.
Starting point is 00:16:13 It's a good, like, underscores song. I like those things. It is great when they, yeah, it's great when they use real songs, it's great. But I love, I get really, the way that we are talking about hours right now I love the ones that are either fan generated or are or are for like or are by people that the Fred like the the Dolboys one. I know is my Cassidy from Don't Stop or will die. Yes You know, anyway, I like I like them all you know
Starting point is 00:16:41 It's just a musical sting the keys to the Kingdom new Mac goryley podcast, which I've been loving What is that Mac goryley and Amanda a musical sting. The keys to the Kingdom of New Mac Gourley podcast, which I've been loving. What is that? Mac Gourley and Amanda Lund have a podcast called keys to the Kingdom and all it is is an expose of people who worked at theme parks. So it's like all the princesses at Disney World. All these great backstage stories
Starting point is 00:17:00 and then a lot of the voices are tricked out so you don't know who's actually talking about it. Yeah, because these people are breaking in D.A.s, I assume. And it is fascinating. Like, the first episode about princesses, just like, here's a good little stat. Like, the person playing Ariel was talking about how a lot of kids wanted to grab at her seashells,
Starting point is 00:17:23 which are covering her breasts. And nothing untoward, but they're like, oh, I wanna touch those seashells, right? And how do you kind of, I listen to that. We all wanna touch those seashells. And you and I, unless we're in the bathroom of demolition.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Well, you know, here's a funny thing, you got you, well, that you need to touch those seashells. Yeah, you got, I guess. The scoop it all out. I was telling the story to Rehew Bull on the Twitch show where I was saying that my stepfather flirted with Snow White and kind of was like grabby with her. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:17:54 And Hew Bull was like, oh my God, this is like, you're telling me this crazy story. And I was like, I don't think it's that. I mean, yes. Dad's or Creeps is my guess. It is the thesis of this podcast. I will say speaking of Gourley he and his band The Journeyman do a fantastic theme song for the Andy Daley
Starting point is 00:18:12 Bonanna's for Benanza. Oh, well, that's a great. Yeah, I mean those great great. I love those. Great theme song. But yeah, you'll like it. That sounds cool. I'll check that out. Gourley's great man. I love Gourley. Podcast producing machine. Just a great guy. Round about great guy. All right, let's get into it. We got three themes. If we want to do more, we can do more. But let's start off with three and see what we got here.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Before we begin, I just want to clarify. I feel like last time we got, I don't feel like you're really giving us a proper nickname, Canon, intro. Like I don't need to do an impression. You got to come in with the energy, you know, and look, I'm, look, if we, we, Molly could jump in with this, Molly, can you give me a little taste with this Nick Cannon energy guy? Be like, no, she says no.
Starting point is 00:18:55 No, she shakes her head. I'll try it out my game. And welcome to how did this give me? It's official main theme song contest. Yeah. How did this give me official main theme song contest? You're a huge producer, Scott, and I have Paul Sheer, tall John, and Jason Manzook is here with me, and we're gonna see if we can find the next great, how did this get made theme song?
Starting point is 00:19:15 Pretty good, pretty good. I like it. Last time we did this, I was kinda give it a little flack for maybe prejudging some of these songs. So going into this, I'm gonna say, I have not organized these in any way and we'll be judging them in order of when we received that. Great. Alright, are you guys ready for some earworms?
Starting point is 00:19:36 Yeah, let's do it! First up, we have balloon ride fantasy. Red is for my favorite part. How did this get made? How did this get made? Even though a monkey wrote the script. The rock attaches name to it. How did this get made? How did this get made? Jason Paul and June explains. For us, there are two goings, say. What?
Starting point is 00:20:15 Where? What? How did this get made? How did this get made? How did this get made? Nice! Wow, I gotta say say right out of the gate this might be my favorite one of the submissions hence far so far I agree wow wow so if I type 44 seconds mixed great pop punk up tempo I can imagine this is how I, my question to you earlier, Paul, about what theme songs do you listen to, if at all?
Starting point is 00:20:51 Yeah. I can imagine, because what I like about the theme songs I like is singing along and getting excited for the show. Here we go. And I can imagine people getting into that and singing along with those easy lyrics. Yeah. I like it, it's catchy, it's fun. I have no notes, I really have no notes.
Starting point is 00:21:09 I would just put this, if we are separating, if we're separating things out on the table, I'm putting this on, it's done, cool the apple pie, it's ready to eat. This one is, this is for the big vote. Wait a minute, what is this? Cool the apple pie, it's ready to eat. That's the T-shirt. I don't. It's ready to eat. That's the
Starting point is 00:21:25 t-shirt. I don't know if it do t-shirts. By the way, I'm for less looks. Cool. The apple pie. It's ready to eat. What? My father write that down, please. Take it. Don't put it in the oven. It's done. Put it. But cool it. So it's ready. But it was in the oven because it's hot. It's hot. I guess what I'm saying is. And I put it on the oven. But it was in the oven because it's hot. It's hot. So I guess what I'm saying is, and I put it on the table. It's ready. We don't even have to cool it there.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Some of these what I'm saying is, put it back in the oven. It needs a couple more minutes. This one I'm like, let it cool. It's ready. I just let it cool. But you do want it. Let it cool. I do like, I like to put it, what I wanted to say was, let's put it on a shelf. Let it cool. It's ready. I just let it cool, but you do want it. Let it cool. I do like I like the put I what I wanted to say was let's put it on a shelf. Let it cool get the guy ready to go
Starting point is 00:22:11 The pie is ready that one is right now that I didn't want to involve you with but it's really upsetting me oh boy So the audience at large has not heard this episode yet But we did Dungeons and Dragons episode when we were in, God, sure. Yeah, I don't remember what city we were in, but we had a great time. Maybe, really? It was a great venue, it was a great,
Starting point is 00:22:33 I remember the show, I just don't remember the place. And we made a great shirt, and I want to even spoil the shirt, but it has been taken down for copyright infringement, and I can't figure out why, and I'm fighting it right now. Is it possible that, like, I could see a company like Dungeons and Dragons being like Detective of the air or whatever?
Starting point is 00:22:51 Yeah, I mean look how good that shirt people love that shirt. That shirt is incredible. So now is that and the ampersand with the the dragon. The dragon. But is that their thing? Well, here's the thing. I went online, I searched on T public, I typed in Dungeons and Dragons. But the dragon dragon, but is that their thing? Well, here's the thing. I went online, I searched on T public,
Starting point is 00:23:06 I typed in Dungeons and Dragons. Not only are they just straight up Dungeons and Dragons shirts. Sure. So logo, full everything. But that logo also appears on multiple shirts. I'm like, why is R is getting ding? Because R is more parody than it is anything else. It's more than a dragon.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Yeah, that's a great, can we resubmit with almost no alteration? That's what we're gonna try to do. Mars is more parity than it is anything else. It's Morgan and Dragon. Yeah, that's a great, can we resubmit with almost no alteration? That's what we're gonna try to do. I wonder if they dinged Morgan. So we're trying to figure out that because we also have permission for Morgan. Morgan.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Well, I don't think Morgan complained. Wait, Morgan, if you're listening, do you not want us to put you on a shirt? I have a feeling that what they have is one of those, I kind of like, I dealt with this in the past and we lost this battle, but like MTV allowed human giant to put our sketches up on YouTube. And not on their site, but on YouTube proper,
Starting point is 00:23:57 because we knew we'd get more views. And then that was a legal agreement that we signed with them, but then when YouTube has their, like, kind of filtering process it just ripped them all off because it was like how it was that is soon that was copy right and then you go and then you go and you kind of fight it but if you are not the the owner that we got swept up in some sort of like about the
Starting point is 00:24:19 yeah i think i'm on the act of it anyway i hope to you probably on a but you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you,
Starting point is 00:24:32 to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you,
Starting point is 00:24:39 to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, to you, for me, very exciting, great work, balloon ride fantasy. I love it. The other thing I'm going to say about this is, and I think all theme songs, it's kind of like the way that theme songs in TV have elevated themselves too. We've gotten away from these kind of fun theme songs like these legacy podcasts. I would consider this a legacy
Starting point is 00:25:03 podcast. We still have our... Isn't that crazy? I know it's nuts. It's crazy. And I know we've talked about this before, so I won't waste much more time on it, but the idea that people have started coming to the shows who are themselves the age of the show,
Starting point is 00:25:18 like all these families coming with 13 year olds in attendance, who are as old as the show is. That's very weird to me. Yeah, that is wild. And I will say this, old theme songs have a more fun, like homemade vibe to them. I feel like newer theme songs is a lot more production on certain things.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Oh yeah. And I like a throwback. Like I'm not calling it a throwback per se, but it reminds me of when I was, I don't know, it just has a nice feel to it I like it feels yeah Well, it feels like like like somebody made it. It doesn't feel like we pulled library music for yeah You know for our high-end fucking show it feels like oh no
Starting point is 00:25:57 It feels like what is exciting is these I'm hoping our fans who are writing something that excites them about it All the specifics that's was great about the the current theme song is that it is It is so dense with lore You know it is so dense with podcast lore from those first few years that it's it is crazy and it's I think really fun As opposed to just bland theme music. I agree Let's get into the next one, what have we got? All right, coming up next, we have Chris Cheney, who along with the song, sent a video as well.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Oh, wow. Let's see if this Apple Pie is hot enough to come out of the Apple Pie. Yeah, cool, Zad. Yeah, I'm talking about. Or if it needs a little more time to beat. Yeah, it's all right. Apple pie, let's give it a.
Starting point is 00:26:48 All right, Chris Jamie. The world is a mega-pourish and a fool She's a girl, talk to her, that's the extra specialness Zyde kill, mallegnet, surrogate, freilude, tourcase Stonewall with a view from the top, we saw porn or a horde talking Suck a bunch of me, d about this first of all love love the length love the video Yeah, so this person has put together a length love the video uh... yes so this person has put together a uh... a video accompaniment that like is similar to the one we play in the live shows in that
Starting point is 00:27:51 everything that is being described in this song clips from those movies are being shown on the video so it's it's it's it's great if i'm gonna give you what i'm gonna start off with the note and i come back with the positives the one thing i'm gonna say about this is, it is simply a list of the movies that we've done. I don't feel like it encompasses the show,
Starting point is 00:28:11 but let's go back to the compliments. I just, I like the sound of it, I like the length of it, I like the fun of it. I was into it, I was waiting for it to maybe turn to a little bit of the show. Yes, I agree, I agree agree and i know what you mean there were it is a it is it's a classic list song
Starting point is 00:28:31 uh... again we're getting into like pop punk really lends itself to this type of an uptempo uh... vibe which is fine by me uh... i don't love pop on the you know that i i you know this guy is doing a great job. Who is this Chris Cheney? Chris, great job. I like the video is helpful, but not necessary. I think the song works. I could see this coming around in some way, shape or form. I could see this as something that gets played prior to a live show. On screen while the audience is watching,
Starting point is 00:29:05 something like different songs or different video accompaniment for different songs, this is cool. I like it. I like it a lot. And I feel like, look, we've also been doing a lot of fun stuff on the road, which is like the shows on the road. Now I have a whole kind of prelude and it's fun. And there's a lot of stuff and this kind of works perfectly
Starting point is 00:29:22 within that. I'm all in. Yeah. And I've also been liking how many people have been coming to multiple shows on the road. It's amazing. It makes me step up my game to kind of figure out different things. So I try it when we do shows on the road that we don't repeat things on multiple days. So I represent. It's funny to think of us and our podcast like it's the, like our fans are like the grateful dead or fish fans.
Starting point is 00:29:47 I know. Like they're following us from city to city like camping outside making grilled cheese sandwiches for each other. I mean I wish I would like to have some of those grilled cheeses. I mean let's be honest if a fan handed me a grilled cheese sandwich there's absolutely no way I'm eating it. Oh well you can I mean you know it would kill you you Let's see what we got here now. Yeah, but great job, Chris. Jamie great job before we move on going with Paul's pie analogy Do we want to assign each song like the type of pie you think you know it emulates? No, Scott absolutely not what type of pie. So what that's a rhubarb. What what do we say? What type of pie so what that's a rhubarb. What what do we say? Again, you're not on you're not on the pie thing Jason. I feel like you know, you all right. I'll do it. I'll do it fine Great. Let's do it. Let's do scutth dumb pie. All right. All right. I'm gonna call that a blueberry pie
Starting point is 00:30:37 Like I call that blueberry pie. Okay, great. So yeah, yeah, yeah, totally totally blueberry pie got it got it So that was like a P. can pie to me. Jesus Christ Here we go. What do we got next all right coming up next we have a song from Darren Kean what type of pie will it be yes? Fied out. I don't like this pie thing It's a fun business the name of the show. How did this get me? How did this get me? All right, Jake's way to think. I enjoyed that. I enjoyed that.
Starting point is 00:31:34 That had vibes. That had vibes. It feels a little low energy for a theme to me. Yeah. Or maybe it's just muted. No, I feel like it had like there was a. Oh, sorry to interrupt you, Paul, but Molly has weighed in and says that song is key lime. Okay. If that helps. Okay. I know that helps me quite a bit. Yeah. But like, all
Starting point is 00:31:58 right. So I hear what you're saying. Can we just play it again a little just a little bit of the front of it? Because I also feel like the lyrics are getting a little muted. Just like, that's playing me like five or six seconds in. Do we hate to be all the way, we love the way, we're mad that we watch the happy days, it's a little too late. All right, stop for a second.
Starting point is 00:32:16 I think what it is, it's like there's a reverb thing, or there's a tin cany-ness to it, which is together. Yeah, it's a little muted. There's a, I don't know what that is, but Maybe it's a mixed thing or because it's a it's an up tempo song. Yeah But I mean, I like this. I like a kind of fuzzed out
Starting point is 00:32:36 rock and roll kind of giving me some some 80s, you know, Synthy vibes in there. There's something here. I like this. I like this. I like this. It's fun. I mean, by the way, what a great second batch of songs. I like that. I like the how much this is about the show and how we talk about movies in the show.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Do we love that we hate it? Do we hate it? We love it. Like, there's a good, there's a good vibe to this song that I just feel like. You know what, you know what could be great? You know what could be great you know it could be great what if the song if the theme song had a presumed call-in response to it. Oh, I love that. Like so that if can you give me the lyrics sheet again for this one Scott that you had put up for a second just because I feel like this song has
Starting point is 00:33:21 natural call-in response so that it would be like, the one voice is saying, do we hate that, do we hate that we love it? We love that we hate it. Yeah. But, no, no, no, no Shadow Wolf's episodes of Action Boys, I will find myself in public wandering out and going, Shadow Wolfs! I see a lot of that. Yeah, so anyway, yeah, I like, I'm not necessarily that this art that Darren here has to do that, but I think this exemplified a way to me to do a
Starting point is 00:34:06 call in. Yeah. I like that. Yeah. I agree with that. And I feel like, I mean, we're talking a lot about like how the live show is going. I mean, right now when you come see a live show, the entire audience is chanting geostorm and kumate. I feel like we could have more call and response. I'm down with that. Oh, yeah. I think I think especially, you know, and I like the idea that we've talked about having like a handful of theme songs that we use because I think dropping them in, if people love them all, we're dropping them in and people get excited for, oh, wait, we got this one
Starting point is 00:34:33 or we got that one, the same way that every show gets individual movies. Yeah, maybe they get songs, maybe they get, they're already getting t-shirts, all this kind of stuff. And not that we're basing everything around the live shows So relax you studio hands. No, we just do some things and you look up by the way. Yeah, come down We like to make the show fun for everybody speaking of you mentioned, you know call and response and shouting geo storm Paul I saw on your twitch stream. You shared a story of you and June driving by Jason. Oh my god
Starting point is 00:35:03 You said that story. Yes, I would love to get Jason's take on it. Okay, so yeah. I was talking about this time, June and I were driving in our neighborhood and there was a restaurant with some nice outdoor seating. We were driving by and we see Jason, as a matter of fact, June sees Jason. And June's like, oh, there's Jason.
Starting point is 00:35:20 I said, oh, and she before I could say anything, rolls down the window and I'm expecting her to say hey Jason like just because that's June friendly conversation You know just want to be just for setting the scene you guys are seeing me but my back is to you So you know right yes, so I have not seen you right right? It's we are driving by and we're doing a little shout as we drive like to get your attention a little bit. Yes, that good point. So boom June rolls down the window and Without
Starting point is 00:35:52 Confirming with me not just he has to but it there was just immediately Rolls-on-the-window and starts yelling out J.O. Storm J.O. Storm and she's screaming and it's like a Sunday morning, right? The restaurant is packed. Yes, you know, people are sitting at all the outdoor tables. And all I can hear now is I can tell there is a car that is parked in front of all of these tables full of all these people just screaming, geostorm at me. And so then, if she starts screaming, I start screaming. Right?
Starting point is 00:36:28 And then my kids who are also in the car, they don't know what's going on, but they know Jason, they start screaming. So now you have a car of people yelling geostorm nonstop. And I'm getting more and more uncomfortable because I won't engage with it because I'm at lunch with people. Right.
Starting point is 00:36:47 You're like, I'm at a table full of people and I don't want to engage with whatever, like car full of maniacs has decided they're going to scream at me from the street. And rightfully so because you're also on the street and I would say oftentimes in my experience, sometimes people just want to yell something at you and it's it's a say yeah, bam like it's a it's a I did it. I did it. I acknowledge it and you go and you it's not like now. Let's chat But we won't stop yelling and it's funny to me because I'm like Why Like it's now it's like now. I'm starting to feel uncomfortable because now I'm like
Starting point is 00:37:27 now we're apart and we're screaming. And so we're just, it's going on for way too long and then, and then you turn around and it was one of my favorite moments of all time because it was a great, just a convergence of you turning around like, okay, I get it. I know. I thank you. Hello, like, and, I think the scene, I'm realizing it was all of you.
Starting point is 00:37:49 I just collapsed into laughter. It just like in a mini-van screaming at you. Just calling attention to so much, it was truly. It was incredible. It was, you're that turn of that face, which was like, I like I get you're like Okay, these so annoyed because we don't know it enough too much. It wasn't enough is enough I hear you know like that you know cuz I'm sure you've dealt with it. Yeah, it's okay
Starting point is 00:38:17 We I got it. I got it. I guess thank you. Thank you. Holy shit. That was really funny My gosh people used to run up to I, obviously you get it because of the league and there's a couple of things that they would yell with the league that was tricky too, because like, Geostorm is a crazy thing to yell out to anybody in the street, but it's something that I feel like we've all experienced. It's a nice, fun little thing. Oh, it's great. It's great. Hey, no man, for me is the, the comedy bang bang is so wonderful and easy because each of us says it and then it's done.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Yeah, you know what it is. And but people used to yell for the league a lot. Shiva Kamini, so much. Oh, yeah. Who was a name of a character in the show. And that yelling was also, that would scare my kids. They're younger, so now they're more used to it.
Starting point is 00:39:12 But now my kids have yelled geostorm at you. That was really a highlight of mine. Well, really funny. Oh, that's funny. I just saw Jason that one day you don't end up facing an actual geostorm, and then you don't take that warning seriously. It's true. It's like a geostorm actual geostorm and then you don't take that warning seriously.
Starting point is 00:39:26 Someone's like, gee, geostorm, geostorm and you're just like, oh, all right, man, I'm really, I'm super popular today. What's the deal? I will say this, that, you know, I don't know if I've ever told you this, but every now and then, my kids love Jason. Jason's great. And they've seen him a bunch, but on a random night, they'll say, can Jason have cake?
Starting point is 00:39:53 Like, it's like, it's just, oh yeah, it pops back up like my allergy. Yeah, your egg allergy just sits in their head and it's apropos of nothing. Yeah, it's like, it's just, it's this runningos of nothing. Yeah, I've caked. It's like, it's this running out of that, a background program. And it's like trying to figure it out.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Yeah, because there was a period, there was one night where I feel like Gus specifically had a number of questions for me about things that I could or couldn't eat, which were as very cute. I will say this much too. I never, like I've always recognized how scary that allergy is, right? Because you realize, oh, oh, my God, eggs.
Starting point is 00:40:31 And you're so, you're just, you know, you're, you're so aware of it. You're so president of it. I've known you for a long time. But when I had kids is when I really understood, oh, God, this is a hellish thing because as an adult, you can at least navigate. But as a kid, you can advocate on your own behalf, but as a child, crazy. And you are, I mean, I'm just my God.
Starting point is 00:40:55 Yeah, it's in plus as I said, I was just. There is an actual need. It's so funny. I was just with my cousins, all of my first cousins a week ago. And we were just telling stories and blah, blah, blah, reminiscing. And one of my cousins told a story about me being a baby. And her mother, my aunt, they were babysitting for me. And my cousin remembers her mother was making me scramble eggs. And this is before they knew I was allergic to eggs, but I had had a number of really bad incidents.
Starting point is 00:41:31 And so my cousin said to her mother, remember Jason's mother said not to feed him eggs. He doesn't handle them well, or I can't remember what she said, but they don't agree with him or something. And my aunt said, that's because he hasn't had my eggs. And then the boy, he almost killed me twice. And for the rest of her life felt such guilt for almost killing me during that babysitting,
Starting point is 00:42:03 that every time I went to her house, she had like sugar cereals to give me, because I wasn't allowed to have sugar cereals, so she'd be like, there's something in the cupboard, you know what I mean? I'd be like, yes, I'd get to take home sugar cereal. It was amazing. Well, it's so funny because to me, it's like, I understand the idea of like,
Starting point is 00:42:22 oh, he doesn't like steak. Well, he hasn't had my steak yet, right? Because it's like, that understand the idea of like, oh, he doesn't like steak. Well, he hasn't had my steak yet, right? Cause it's like, that's not like, yeah, but eggs, you can't, there's no getting around it. There's no, there, like, you can't dress it up. You can't, like, you know, it's like, it's not like that. I was, I was like, that is so funny. And they were like, oh yeah, she was relentless.
Starting point is 00:42:39 That all you needed to, all it was gonna take for you to be able to eat eggs was the way that she prepared them. It was very, very good. I love it. I mean, this is the best. It's always like this. I mean, last night I was having this argument with my youngest son because he was like,
Starting point is 00:42:55 no, you don't understand when you cut my nails, it hurts. And I was like, well, yes, I understand, like it feels weird maybe, but it's like, it's not hurting, he's like, no, no, it's like, it's hurting me. I'm like, and we're just trying to debate. I'm like, feels weird maybe but it's like no, no, it's like it's it's hurting me I'm like and we're just trying to debate. I'm like I don't think it's true Then June's like do not disagree if he says it hurts it hurts. I'm like, but it's not interesting But it's he's like he's like not my toes only my hand. I'm like, okay
Starting point is 00:43:17 So it's like funny. Yeah, it's like a very fun and I think what he is is just he can see it happening on his hand And I think he sees something being clipped out. I think it's like a fear. It's like, you know, he gets it Maybe it's maybe it's maybe it should hurt or it's like maybe something that might hurt It also makes a sound. Yeah, it also makes a hard sound that mustn't this hurt Maybe I should be scared of this. Yeah, I know it's I get that it's like It's so funny to like debate your kids about you're like no, no doesn't. Now, meanwhile, look, if I find out a couple years later, the back, yeah, my dad never believed me. It hurt. And I actually have a rare disorder where if I, my nails, I'm allergic to getting my nails cut.
Starting point is 00:43:55 All right, we got some songs. I feel like we did it for this episode. We'll go back. We'll listen to some more. We should even just talk about what we've been up to in the next one. So tune in again. We'll kind of go down the wormhole here. We'll listen to more songs. We have more submissions. Thank you for these submissions. These were across the board. I'm going to say without any, you know, look, all of these are apple pies that should
Starting point is 00:44:16 be cool. I none of these need to be put back in the oven. But I thought these were great as well. I I loved all of these and I thought and I love the ones we listened to whenever the last time was. I agree. I agree. I'm having a blast listening to the stuff you guys are coming up with. Yeah, we really create if everybody is with your lyrical content, musical content, great work all around everybody. I mean, some of you are much, much better than others. So I'm just not going to. We won't say exactly, but we have to. Yeah. I, you know, but I'm just saying,
Starting point is 00:44:43 I've loved all of these. All right, see the ones that I have not liked. And those you know who we're talking about, we'll see you next time. Bye for now. Thank you, Jason. And thank you to everyone who submitted a theme song. We know that we still have more to listen to and we will do our best to get to them all. Now that we got New York Ninja out of the way, let's talk about our next movie. Next week, we're going to be going from corny ninjas with voices dubbed to horny aliens who love eating grub. That's right.
Starting point is 00:45:12 Next week, we are watching the 1987 comedy Munchies, a movie that is a blatant knockoff of Grimmlands and kind of crazy too. Here's a short breakdown of the plot. A space archaeologist finds a furry little creature in a cave and Peru, but his groundbreaking discovery is thwarted by his evil twin brother who kidnaps the creature. What the brother doesn't know is that the creature, when chopped up, regenerates into many new creatures and they are mean. I told you, it's Grimmons. Anyway, uh, Rotten Tomatoes does not have enough reviews to give this home a score, so we turn to letterbox.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Oh, I love letterbox. We're Oscar Montoya writes, I know it's bad. I know the plot is non-existent and terrible But the aesthetic was really fun to set design rivals Pweeds playhouse, man, it colors and patterns the acting is camp as hell Mavis is a queer legend the munchies themselves are so corny, but still 80s can only recommend watching this with fellow idiots And just a shout out to Oscar Montoya, he's a super funny improviser and actor. And this is what I'm talking about. You'll find good people on Letterbox. Get on Letterbox, people, you will love it. Mark's crusades on Letterbox now. So cool. Alright, let's listen to the trailer for Munchies.
Starting point is 00:46:17 I want you! The Munchies are here! And they want you! Or lunch! You and Kiel's not tropical fish at nymph! The munchies are here. And they want you all once. You and Kiel's more tropical fish at nymphs. And they want you for dinner. Nothing human can feed this hungry. My god!
Starting point is 00:46:38 Munchies, rated PG. Oh, you're gonna love it. Now we are almost at the end of this episode, but before we go, we want you to check out this bonus scene from our New York Ninja Show. Where an audience question leads me to giving a glowing endorsement for one of my favorite products. Splinter out. What do you got? So, I have a really quick comment, which is that if you watch at the subtitles, it starts
Starting point is 00:47:09 after Nita dies with imprentices melancholy synth instrumental. Love that. And then the film ends with grooving beat with synth. Haven't stopped thinking about that. And then I have a question for Jason. What was more? I'll just wait. Yes. Yes. Everybody else can just close your eyes. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:47:36 What was more erotic? Every scene between the ninja and the kid in this and every scene between Stallone and the kid and over the top. That's a question for me. Wow. I thought it was gonna be about boobs. What a bummer.
Starting point is 00:47:56 It was pretty wild, but he does finally rescue the kid, which does happen. The kid survives the first thing about the kid. Thank God. If that kid died, I truly was gonna have to turn off the movie. I was like, yeah. But it seems to rescue the kid from the suburbs. When he finds the kid, the kid is out in like, it's not in the city, it's out in like a suburban neighborhood
Starting point is 00:48:21 with standalone houses and like a driveway and I was like, where are they now? Bayon. Alright, so. But also, he rescues the kid and heals the child by pulling out a bullet from his own chest. The kid is shot. Both of them are shot with a gun and none of them are treated, neither of them
Starting point is 00:48:46 are treated by medical experts. Well, he pulls out a bullet like you would pull out a splinter. Like it's like, oh, that just got one of those bullets right under my skin. Didn't go all the way through. He's like, you want to quickly plug your splinter? Oh, I do.
Starting point is 00:49:02 He'll go. There's a thing called splinter out. You can buy it on Amazon. And it's a little splinter removal kit. Watch out behind you, Paul. And when you have kids, and they get splinters, you got everything you need in there. I love that little splinter kit.
Starting point is 00:49:18 It's best. I use it all the time when my kids, I got one with me right there backstage. Is this product placement for a splinter removal thing? I got them. They right there backstage. Is this product placement? For a slinter removal thing? I got them, they're called tweezers. It is as no. But if you're out. This is as thin as a credit card, you put it in your wallet.
Starting point is 00:49:35 Again, we're not making money off of this. This, yes, you're not going to serve as a police officer. It's just a public service announcement. Look under your seats. You got a slinter case. you got a slain tricking. You got a slain tricking. By the way, there are, I think. What?
Starting point is 00:49:50 There it is, right there behind your head. What do you have it? By your head. Oh my God. The best thing you can possibly get. How is it? Why do you wait a minute? Why do you have it ready to be shown?
Starting point is 00:50:05 That's our amazing stage manager Beth. She was able to pull that up and pull it. Thank you, Beth. That's what it is. And this is an amazing product. Splinter out. And that box is the box that they all come in. You could take them out of the box and put them in your wallet.
Starting point is 00:50:19 You could put them all in your car. You got them. It's great. I love that we talk about the splinter out and boom, it's there. But we talk about boobs the whole time, muddied. We get muddied. It's a family show. Thank you, everybody.
