SANS Pants Radio, trudging through the sewers.
Hey everyone, and welcome to this week's episode of Plumbing the Death Star,
where we ask the important questions like, are mummies scary? As you may notice in today's episode,
it's a little different,
a little less contrived than a usual plumbing topic.
It has nothing to do with comics.
I mean, like any of our normal.
There's no references to shooting Spider-Man at all.
Well, that's a throwback Adam
Or maybe
A throw forward
Hard to say
Anyway
Yeah so we were going through
Before we recorded today's episode
We were like what should we do today
So we went through a list of episode titles we had
And for some reason
Our Mummy's Scary was written there
It's not even like
All the other ones are like
Which plumbing boy would make the best this
Or like how does this work in the MCU?
This one's just like, are mummies scary?
No?
Or maybe yes.
And that's what we're here to discuss today.
Well, what is a mummy, first of all?
Probably is a good idea to nail down.
Well, there's a few different mummies.
I didn't see how it was written.
I think two different mummies.
How many mummies?
A few different mummies.
Okay. I didn't see how many mummies a few different mummies because you've got the classic mummy from
the Hammer Movie Monster mummy
which is just a wrapped up zombie
basically
if I get a zombie, like an undead
and I wrap that shit up, have I got a mummy?
basically, yeah
then there's like the mummy
from Brendan Fraser's The Mummy
and that's an undead mummy that becomes an alive mummy
But he's secretly really also dead
But also is a priest
And there's scarabs
Scarabs are the scariest part of that
No the big scary cloud face
Hang on a minute
Because in The Mummy his objective is to
Like take from the people who opened his tomb
All the different body parts
Does that mean he comes...
Like he's alive alive at the end of that?
Because if he is,
then I don't think he gets all the different parts.
Then he's technically never an alive mummy.
Oh, fuck.
No, you're right.
He's never alive.
I think he's always missing some parts.
He's close to.
Yeah, but he never gets...
No, but in the second one...
No, wait, he does get it
because that's how they kill him.
No, in the first one, he does get it.
That's how they kill him.
How does he come back in Nomura 2?
How does he come back?
Someone say the mummy returns.
What?
How does the mummy return, Adam?
In the mummy returns.
And then how does the mummy tomb of the dragon emperor?
That's a different mummy.
Well, that's a third mummy.
That mummy can become a yeti.
That's good.
That's scary.
And then we've got the fourth mummy.
A parent.
Mummy dearest stop or my mom will shoot that was a very good reference thank you
that was so childish thank you thank you what about the mummy in the new mummy movie the mummy
oh that's a mummy that's a lady that... She's got six eyes for some reason.
She's barely a mummy.
When's she wrapped up? Basically never.
Yeah.
I don't even think they...
She's alive, alive, I think.
But they took her guts.
She's sort of alive a bit,
but not really.
I've seen the movie, and I've watched it.. I've seen the movie and I've watched it.
Yeah.
And like didn't fall asleep.
I've seen the movie and I've watched it.
No, but I wasn't just like there going through the motions.
I was in a cinema.
Yeah.
I didn't fall asleep and I wasn't talking to anyone.
But you don't remember?
And I still don't really remember it.
Wow.
All right.
So let's go through the mummies then and talk about how frightening V not frightening they are.
I've got my own theories here.
Have you got more mummies for the mix? I've got more mummies. More mummies then and talk about how frightening v not frightening they are. I've got my own theories here. Have you got more mummies for the mix?
I've got more mummies.
But I've got a theory on whether or not mummies
are scary. Well,
let's see if you can just fit it into this. I'll put the lid on this
pot and we'll continue on with the
main course. Feel free to open
that lid if you see fit at any point
in the episode. I don't know if the structure
we're about to do is going to help that pot.
Probably not. It might just boil and burn. I'm hoping I don't know if the structure we're about to do is going to help that pot. Probably not.
It might just boil.
I'm hoping I don't burn this stew
is what I'm trying to say.
Extended gag metaphors.
This is what the people have come to love.
I'll check back on that stew
as the episode carries on.
You'd be surprised, but here's one I prepared earlier.
Oh, another stew. Get confusing with them,
I reckon. Make me more unsure as to what the metaphor actually
refers to. I like my stew well done. Sorry, come on. Okay, so mummy numero one.
So, Hammer Movie Monster Mummy? Yeah. Zombie wrapped in paper.
Not that scary. Like, it's just a guy. Yeah, the scary part with that is
sometimes in, and it's just a guy. Yeah, the scary part with that is, like, sometimes in...
And it's the classic mummy, but more modern takes on it.
When you get the mummy mouth.
Mummy mouth is nasty, because it's all...
Mummy mouth, no eyes is good.
Because you expect a big kiss, basically.
Fucking let me show you something.
What are you doing?
Has Adam got a mummy?
Adam got a...
Oh, no, he's reached for his D&D books.
Wrong podcast, dickhead.
The look of hurt.
The look of hurt and confusion.
I just want to go to a picture.
We're going to see a spooky mummy.
Is this an episode of Plumbing in the Death Star?
Is this an episode of our paid content?
Hey, D&D, it's me, Adam, and here's a picture of a mummy.
Check the mummy in that book.
Mouth, no eyes. Oh, no, and here's a picture of a mummy. Check the mummy in that book. Mouth, no eyes.
Oh, no, that's scary.
Also because the mouth is a bit too high up.
It's a bit too big is what it is.
Yeah, yeah, there you go, douche.
You can have a look at that.
All right.
Yeah, that's not okay.
So D&D mummy.
Although on the other page, there's no picture,
but it says mummy lord, and that's all right.
A mummy lord has blinding
dust.
So look out for that.
Yeah, mummy kiss. Frightening.
But because you expect it to
suck your guts out of your mouth or something.
Yeah, which is kind of how Tom Cruise beats
the mummy in that mummy. He sucks his guts
out? No, he kisses. Love.
Yeah.
Love's true kiss. That's how he gets it.
That's how you get any mummy.
Yeah, no.
He sucks people's souls or whatever
out of them by giving them a smooch.
And then Tom Cruise kills her by doing the same thing.
It's real weird.
What is it with bad
universe movies
and women who kiss people to make them
dead or whatever.
What's the other one?
Fucking Suicide Squad.
Who kissed people dead?
Oh.
Enchantress does that.
Oh, yeah, she does too.
Yeah, the mummy and Enchantress
are kind of the same.
Enchantress is actually
in many ways almost a mummy.
She is.
I'll add that to the mix.
Put that mummy in the mix.
Yeah, that's a mummy. That'd make a mad tattoo to put that mummy in the mix Yeah that's a That's a
That's a mummy
That'd make a mad tattoo
Put that mummy in the mix
Enchantress not very scary
Yeah look let's nip that
Let's like knock that one
Out of the park
We'll jump forward a bit
Through the list
I'm not afraid of enchantress
See that dumb dance
And you're like
Oh god
She's like
I'm embarrassed for you
I'm not afraid
I'm just
A shame
Those should be
The two measurements
How scary is the mummy And how embarrassing is the mummy?
No, but you're absolutely right, because if a mummy's not scary, it is embarrassing.
I mean, yeah.
Like, if you see a mummy hobbling down the hall, but it's got an okay- actually,
like, a bright white smile with, like, perfect teeth is also scary for a mummy.
Yeah, that's frightening. But if it's just like your typical, like,
wrapped in bandages, moving- what's scary about like your classic hammer monster mummy is being trapped in a pyramid.
That's a scary part.
Not the mummy.
Pyramids are scary.
Not the mummy.
If I was trapped in a pyramid without a mummy, I'd be afraid.
A very specific type of claustrophobia, I believe.
Well, like a pyramid's real dark.
Like, I don't know.
It's scary.
And if you're trapped in a pyramid, it's like you know that it's forever. Yeah. Well, yeah. If you're trapped in the dark, you don't know, it's scary. And if you're trapped in a pyramid, you know that it's forever.
Yeah, well, yeah.
If you're trapped in the dark,
you don't know it's a pyramid.
That's a good point.
After getting trapped in the catacombs of Paris
and popping out in Giza.
That'd be scary as.
Plus, I feel like a mummy,
a hammer-moving monster mummy,
anyway, is really easy to defeat.
I feel like all you gotta do is grab a bandage.
Yeah, fire, water, all the elements.
Fire, water, wind?
Blow on it?
Gotcha.
Also, like, what's a mummy noise?
Yeah.
It's not quite the zombie.
It's more.
Yeah, it's more of a.
Mummies can talk sometimes.
There's no, like, in its voice.
It's always like...
Kind of like a whale, but wrong.
Mummies talk sometimes, though, and their voice always echoes.
That's true.
That's scary.
Well, that's because a mummy is...
I'm a mummy.
I believe there are stages to the mummy.
There is, though, because there's mummy,
and then there's, like, my tooth.
There is, though.
That's when you're bringing the mummy back,
because the mummy starts off just being like...
The mummy basically goes through the stages of waking up,
but, like, for a very long period of time.
Because, first of all, the mummy's like,
what the fuck?
What's going on? Who are these guys?
What's going on?
I'm no good to anyone
till I've had my morning coffee.
When is it?
And then the evil...
Oh, 2017.
I overslept.
No.
Mummy is terribly late
What if the mummy fucked up
And was 2000 years late
But then when the evil
The evil cultists are like
We've brought the mummy back a bit
That's when the mummy is a bit clued in
To what's going on
And is like alright sick
I'm a mummy
I'm a mummy I'm a mummy
I don't know what voice we've divulged into
but it is no longer a mummy voice
I just did an echo really wrong
an echo with a testy pop is funny
Anyway
So a ridge mummy
Just woke up mummy, not scary
Coming back a bit mummy
Scarier
Fully alive mummy though, not scary
Just a man
Fully alive mummy tends to have magic though
But magic isn't scary
Magic's like good turn me into a goat
But the magic a mummy has
Tends to be like
Locusts
Or scarabs
Like in Brandon Fraser's The Mummy
Scarabs are the scariest part of that movie
They get under your skin
But they're not a mummy's power
They just let those scarabs out.
They attack anyone.
Yeah.
I think they attack him in there.
Yeah, I think they do.
Or at the very least, maybe in the second one, the mummy's like,
uh, careful.
It's full of fucking scarabs.
Those scarabs are fucking, like, maybe, like, you know,
in a swarm they're dangerous.
But one at a time, those scarabs are fucking easy.
And also, it's that kind of thing where you're like,
it's like saying the mummy is scary because you're in a pyramid.
Like, if you're saying they won't make a mummy scary,
you're actually saying scarabs are scary.
True.
And they're not.
What about the zombies that the mummy brings back sometimes?
You know, sometimes the mummy brings back...
Surely those are just further mummies.
I suppose they're just like lesser mummies.
Yeah.
That the mummy brings back.
A lesser mummy.
Yeah, I suppose.
So what are we going to say about your classic Hammer movie mummy?
Your HMM.
On a spook meter?
Yeah.
So one to five.
A one being.
Spookiness, embarrassment.
Yeah.
Or do it in terms of like the noise you'd make when you were scared.
Oh, okay.
Is it like an ah, an ooh, or an oh, no?
Oh, yeah.
So I reckon with mummy just working up, I'm like a uh an ooh or an oh no okay so i reckon with with the with mummy just
working up i'm like oh but mummy mummy a bit working up i'm like oh geez but i reckon with
a fully alive mummy like what now i think i'm like just working up mummy i'm like oh boy yeah
uh come back alive mummy i'm like what Cause I don't quite get it. Yep.
Fully alive.
Mommy.
I'm like,
is that just a guy?
Yeah. I'm like a rattlesnake.
Yeah.
Adam,
I think with just woken up that you get like the,
I think that's the scariest.
You get like a,
ah,
with,
uh,
coming back.
Mommy.
That's like,
that's also pretty scary.
Not as scary as the,
cause the coming back.
Mommy is like half human
half it's got that classic like yeah that is a human body that that could be me true so you're
like ah and then the fully back mom fully back mummy is just like a person if you didn't know
it was a mummy you wouldn't know that's true it's just like hello you're like oh boy
all right what was the next mummy douche so the next mummy was Dushan? So the next mummy was Brendan Fraser's The Mummy.
Well, that's scary because, I mean, like it follows the classic mummy trope.
Yeah.
But actually he doesn't start off wrapped in bandages really, does he?
He starts off as just like a desiccated corpse.
That's scary.
That's scary, grosser.
Yeah.
Oh, what's really scary, actually, I just remembered,
when he's like, when he's dealing with some of the people,
this one guy gets blinded or whatever,
and the mummy wants some part of his body.
I forget.
Maybe his mouth.
His tongue, I should say.
Sorry.
That mummy takes body bits.
Yeah.
The mummy is in town walking around with a mask and a full body thing
because he's not properly back yet.
There's the scene where the guy can't see anything,
but he's still wearing the mask for some reason.
I don't like it.
Yeah.
So we got that.
That's almost stages as well.
Brandon Fraser's the mummy.
When he gets his bits back.
It's pre-bits.
Yeah.
Pre-bits.
Pre-bits.
Some bits.
All bits.
All bits.
Cloud.
Yeah.
Cloud.
Yeah.
Remember he becomes a cloud and yells at the plane.
Sand.
Yes.
He becomes water as well.
Should we say, like...
Okay, let's say big face.
Big face.
Big face.
Big face is good.
No bits, some bits, all bits, big face.
Big face is scary, though.
Like, if a fucking tidal wave is coming at you
And a face comes out
You're like, ahhh
And the face is like, no
And I'm terrified
He tries to swallow them both times as well
That's scary
What is he gonna do?
He doesn't have like a stomach
Where's it gonna go?
Alright, so no bits, mummy
Spooky, I'll be a little bit like, oh
Yeah, I'll be a little bit like Yeah I'd be a little bit like
This is very similar
To the last one
That's alright
Oh that's what you said that's your assumption
Yeah I think I might actually just have
But because of the mask stuff I might change my answer
Mask some bits
Yeah no is what I'm saying I might change my answer
Because that's really scary
Yeah what about mask mummy for you
Is there a zombie?
Yeah.
Jesus!
That's probably my noise.
Because I'm unsure, you know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is this a guy?
Is this a ghoul?
What's the gulf?
My ghoul sense is through the roof at that point.
I think...
No, I'm going to keep it the same.
So, no bits scariest, some bits scary, and then-
No, they're not noises, mate.
Try again.
You've broken our review system.
All right, all right, all right.
So no bits, I'm like, yeah.
Some bits, but with mask, I'm like-
There's dread more than proper fear.
Yeah, I was going to say, some bits with mask for me is maybe even more like, ooh.
No, I'm sticking with my Jesus.
And then the low bits.
Sorry, all bits.
You're like, aren't you an actor?
Yeah, all bits I'm like, weren't you in The Mommy?
All bits I'll just be like, are you a guy?
Yeah, aren't you?
Are you a wizard?
More like a, huh?
Oi.
For a long time I thought you were the same.
Oi, that's good. For a long time I thought you were the same actor who played Voldemort.
Okay, what about Big Face?
Oh, boy.
Oh, fuck.
I forgot Big Face.
Because he's a big face.
Big Face, scariest.
Big Face, absolutely hands down, most frightening.
For me, Big Face, some bits, no bits, all bits.
Yeah, that's the same as...
Actually, no. Because some bits is like a bit wrong. Some bits is, I face, some bits, no bits, all bits. Yeah, that's the same as... Actually, no, I think I...
Because some bits is like a bit wrong.
Some bits is, I think, my scariest.
Big face, second scariest.
Yeah, and big face is scary the same way like an earthquake is scary.
I'd put no bits ahead of some bits.
No, because some bits I'm like, he's on the way and he might take my bits.
Yeah, because he does take people's bits.
He's a bit taker.
He's a bit...
I'm more scared of like a walking skeleton with just like on it than like a more scared of a walking skeleton With just like
What about a walking skeleton
With a beating human heart
And a tongue that he just stole
I'm assuming he's wearing the bodysuit at that point
The tongue he just stole and new eyes
Your eyes
What if you were the blind guy
That's scary
That's frightening
I'm afraid of some bits.
He doesn't have stages in The Mummy
2, does he? No, he just comes back
proper in The Mummy 2.
Least scary one.
Mummy Returns, maybe he should have fucking stayed at home.
How scary is The Rock?
In Scorpion King?
That's scary.
He's a bit of a, jeez, you're a big fella, aren't you?
Oh boy, what?
Was he a hero?
They made separate Scorpion King movies, right?
There were four, I think.
Yeah.
Four Scorpion King films.
Is The Rock in all of them?
No, he's only in the first one.
Yeah.
Wait, doesn't another wrestler take up the mat?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that happens.
Is it Goldberg?
Or Gold, what's his name?
Gold something.
Goldberg is the wrestler, but I don't know if it's that wrestler.
I fucking hope so.
That's funny. Also, is he a good
guy or a bad guy in those movies?
At the end of The Mummy 2,
he's in the
first stage of waking up.
That's what it seems like.
But instead of responding confused, he's responding with
panic. He's like, what?
This is all off topic, though, because he is not a mummy.
Oh, no.
The person who takes over from the rock is Batista.
Oh, Dave Batista.
Oh, that's amazing.
That's only the Mummy 3, Scorpion King 3.
Scorpion King 4, it's just different fellas every time.
All right, well, what about Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor?
While we're on the Brendan Fraser trilogy.
I haven't seen that one.
It's a lady mummy?
No, yeah, maybe.
No, no, it's a male mummy.
It's a Bruce Lee, I think.
Maybe not Bruce Lee.
Jet Li.
Jet Li, that's it.
Jet Li.
It's a Li.
Okay, so Jet Li, he's a mummy.
I thought you said it's a lady. Jet Li's that's it. It's a Li. Okay, so Jet Li, he's a mummy. I thought you said it's a lady.
Jet Li's definitely a man.
And he can become a yeti and become different animals,
and he's got elemental powers.
I don't remember the mummy three very well.
Nobody does.
I remember that at that point they had started making the joke
that Brendan Fraser was saying, I'm too old for this.
There were too many mummies in that man's life. At a certain point
you're going to think you're the problem, Brendan.
Is the mummies, is there a mummy problem
in the world or is there a Brendan Fraser problem in the world?
That's what you should be asking Brendan.
I'm not afraid, frankly, of somebody that can become a yes.
Too much, you know what I mean? I think, okay.
It's not scary anymore, it's just like
Overkill.
So the noise is like
That's a very loosely a mummy
That's your noise
This is the mummy
I'd be more scared of Jet Li
Than I would be of a mummy
To be honest
He has the terracotta army doesn't he
Yeah that's a bit scary
I'm not that scared of a terracotta army
Too many fellas
Too much ceramic
You're supposed to be careful around ceramic
You don't want to knock them over
I'd be more afraid that I might topple one
And they'd domino and I'd all break
I'd be like I'm super sorry
I'm so embarrassed
Sometimes I'm just like a bull in a china shop
I'm sorry dude
How's the stew? Oh it's still going I'm so embarrassed. Sometimes I'm just like a bull in a china shop, you know? I'm sorry, dude.
So what are we getting?
How's the stew?
Huh?
Oh, it's still going.
Don't worry.
I haven't forgotten it.
Oh, good.
I forgot about your stew.
Yeah, I didn't.
I was worried.
I just don't want it to boil over.
We're overselling this.
Is it still cooking?
It's burnt.
Oh, no.
I can already tell at this point it's burnt.
We left it go too long. I was was hoping to get in there at a good time
it was burnt like after
turned it down to a simmer I reckon
you said hammer movie monster Jackson
the first time I'm like
that's burnt
did you turn it off?
I forgot to
oh jeez
I'm looking forward to getting it at the end when we finish with the mummies.
What's next?
A mother?
No, wasn't it the mummy in Tom Cruise's mummy?
It's a lady.
Yeah, she's got four eyes.
That spooks me out.
She looks kind of scary in the trailer.
Yeah.
Yeah, her eyes split.
But then, twist, spoilers for the mummy, I guess.
She splits.
She's gone.
Tom Cruise becomes the mummy.
What?
No way to add her to this twist.
I think I just got it from the trailer that he was becoming the mummy.
So she is like, I need to make a sacrifice of a person so I can become a mortal.
And then he sacrifices himself using the same thing.
And somehow that makes him the mummy.
I honestly could not tell you.
And he gets the split eyes?
Yeah.
They both have the split eyes.
Okay.
So, well, that means we've got two options here.
A bridge mummy and cruise mummy.
Mummy original flavor or extra spicy.
So original mummy, she's a bit psychotic.
Like, as in, like, she's unhinged.
She seems too quick.
Yeah, so you're just like,
oh.
No, I think mine would be like, ah, ah, ah, ah!
As she crawls on up to me and then
sucks my guts out. She's not like a crawler,
she's more just like a poppy-uppy.
Oh, okay, so I don't know where she is and then all of a sudden, there she is?
Yeah. So you're like, huh, huh, huh, huh!
Gosh! Plus, are we in the know where she is, and then all of a sudden, there she is? Yeah. So you're like, huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Gosh!
Yeah.
Plus, are we in the situation where we're about to get sacrificed?
Whoa, she just kills other people.
Because it's a similar thing with the bits in the original Mummy.
She has to kill people to come back a bit.
But it's not like specific guts.
It's like just general life force.
That's less scary than Brennan Fraser.
That is a bit, actually.
It's definitely less scary.
If I can't see the parts that I'm going to become, then That's less scary than Brennan Fraser. It is a bit, actually. It's definitely less scary. If I can't see the parts
that I'm going to become, then
it's less, yeah, there's less, like, to it.
Yeah, no, it's just like she sucks people's
life, I guess, and then she absorbs
enough, she kills, like, four or five people,
then she's, like, back to... Yeah, not that scared.
Scared of her four eyes? Because I'm like...
That's too many eyes. Is she an alien?
Nah, if you're, like, standing even maybe this far
away, someone has four eyes.
You just don't notice?
Yeah, you might not be noticing.
If my fucking pupils split into two, you'd notice eventually.
Presumably we're not sitting here having a conversation, though.
Like if she comes up, if she does a pop-up,
and she's like, boop, splits her eyes,
then I'm like, ah!
And then she sucks my guts.
But presumably there's like, you know, some other context
to it. Maybe I'm a soldier or something.
Yeah, that's true.
What about Cruise, Mom? I'll be like, mm.
A bit of a mm.
You're little.
That's your noise for Tom Cruise,
the mummy? No, that's my noise for her.
Okay, what else for Tom Cruise?
I reckon I know. Are you Tom Cruise?
Asking if he's Tom Cruise.
I loved you in Vanilla Sky.
I liked that in that movie it was confusing, but then it was a dream.
Yeah, that was fucking...
Because you were fucked.
That was really good, man.
Remember that time you jumped that couch?
Are you a mummy now?
I hear you love Katie Holmes.
I love Katie.
We were on Oprah that one time.
I wouldn't feel very intimidated at all because Tom Cruise never plays bad guys.
Yeah, that's true.
That's true. Like, when's he been villainous? I think the scariest Tom Cruise has ever been
is in Tropic Thunder.
Yeah? Not fair, though.
That's like the baddest
he's ever been as well. He plays a dirt bag
in Magnolia.
You know that movie? Yeah, I know the movie.
He's one of those, like,
he's had a date a woman.
You know those people? Pick up artist? I know the movie. He's one of those, like, he's had a date a woman. You know those people?
Pick-up artist?
In Magnolia, though, does he, like, just let someone die?
Like he does in Tropic Thunder?
No.
Well.
I forgot that happened in Tropic Thunder.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
So Tom Cruise, the mummy.
He saves their lives by throwing a tivo in
front of a missile in that movie let's not forget that let's not forget the sacrifices matthew
mcconaughey has made to save ben stiller robert downey jr and jack black that's so weird in that
movie that they try to like pass ben stiller off as though he's an action hero like i know that
maybe that's the joke,
but it just seems really weird.
It's more of a comedy movie than it is an action movie.
No, I mean, like, in the movie,
Ben Stiller's character is an action hero.
But I'm like, he's so weedy.
Well, Tom Cruise is as well, though.
Like, in real life, Tom Cruise doesn't look like an action star.
It's just a coincidence.
That's true.
So Tom Cruise, the mummy, we're like,
oh, you're Tom Cruise.
That's fine.
Are there any other mummies
before we get to mamas?
I'm trying to think.
There's a time that mummy met Abbott and Costello.
That's not that scary.
I saw that movie.
Did they become friends?
I assume they must have.
It was hijacked.
They didn't actually really meet the mummy.
Abbott and Costello movies used to do the thing where
they had a B story and an A story.
And Abbott and Costello were strangely always
the B story.
In their own title. They were there and the mummy
was there, but never the twain chilled me.
Yeah, the mummy was like scaring other people. It's weird.
And Abbott and Costello were just doing
goofs. Yeah, they're just like the
CPO and R2-D2
characters. Weird.
I guess Mama's, though.
Well, I was going to say, speaking of C-3PO and R2-D2,
Darth Vader's a bit of a mummy.
Yeah, he is.
He's a bit of a mummy's boy, you know what I mean?
Hey!
No, but I see what you mean.
He follows the same arc as, like, I'm putting on my shoes.
I mean, I guess.
He's like a very powerful prince of sorts.
A prince of the Jedi.
All right.
If we're doing like different levels, then we got to be like the boy, the adult Darth
Vader.
Well, it's the boy, the limbless boy.
I'm saying like little boy adult. Little boy adult, bad
slash limbless adult Darth Vader.
Okay, so we're doing four.
But listeners, you
appreciate that he follows a mummy's
nature. Yeah, I mean like he's really powerful.
He's a boy king.
He's a boy king that has like a destiny.
He betrays that destiny.
He tries to do something that gives him
ultimate power. He kind of, they're like, he's dead,
but then they sort of mummify him in the Vader.
Vader's a mummy.
He has the mummy storyline.
I'd never thought about this before,
but they're a fresh take, hot take.
There you have it.
Fuck, I love your hot takes.
There's another classic Joel Dusha hot take.
There are 43 across San Spencer Radio.
Find them all, email them to me, and you get a prize.
It's a date
with me and
Ted Hamilton.
That reference
anyone?
I just don't.
Todd Hamilton?
I don't even
know who you're
talking about.
There's a movie
like it's a mid
T.
Win a date
with Ted Hamilton. Yeah. Or Todd Hamilton. Let's find out's a movie. It's a mid-tea. Win a day with Ted Hamilton.
Or Todd Hamilton.
Let's find out.
Fuck me.
What an interesting
Todd Hamilton.
We knew it was a tea and a day with a male.
So, kid Vader.
Is he a mommy? Should we rate him on
Fear Factor?
Todd Hamilton is played by
that young guy that was in
the TV show Las Vegas
and is now in
the Transformers movies.
Josh Duhamel.
I do not know.
This guy.
Can't follow you.
Oh, okay.
That's Dad Hamilton.
Oh, that guy.
Didn't he also fucking play...
No, it's like at a distance on a phone, so maybe I'm wrong.
Who are you thinking of?
That's not the guy who played in Suicide Squad.
No.
No, but he does look like him.
He's got very small features.
Yeah.
He does have a small feature.
He looks like he's got a big face.
No, a big head, but a tiny face.
Tiny face.
It's weird.
Josh Duhamel, I'm pretty sure is how you pronounce his name.
Anyway, if I met Josh Duhamel, I'd be like, hmm.
I'd be like, hey, aren't you from that TV show that went for like 103 episodes and no one ever talks about?
You've got very small features.
I don't think I have a sound for this one.
I think I just keep walking.
Do you remember the TV show Las Vegas?
Does anyone remember that TV show? That's so weird. I don't think he's in think I just keep walking. Do you remember the TV show Las Vegas? Does anyone remember that TV show?
That's so weird.
I don't think he's in anything I know.
Ed Sheeran.
No, not Ed Sheeran.
I think the sound for that one would be
mentally must remember to tell
Jackson, Samet, and
Dusha that I think I saw the
guy from Suicide Squad.
James Cairn
or Cain is the main guy in Las Vegas
It's just about them running a casino
But like
Shenanigans?
Yeah a bit of shenanigans
I do not remember that show
It was on
Anyway Anakin
Boy Anakin
Boy Anakin
Is he scary?
No he's annoying
I'd be like
Yeah
What about young man Anakin?
Pre-Losing Arms?
Yeah
Nah he looks like he might He's like He looks like a school shooter a bit I'd be like What about young man Anakin? Pre-Losing Arms? Yeah.
No, he looks like he might... He looks like a school shooter a bit.
He did.
I'd be like...
Darth Vader, I'm like...
You've jumped ahead.
You've jumped ahead.
What are you doing?
What about limbless young men?
I'm giving them an order of scariness.
Okay, yeah, not fair.
We've been doing it the same way all episode.
You keep jumping ahead.
No, we haven't.
Yes, we have.
No, we haven't. Me and Jackson have. Jackson and I way all episode no we haven't me and Jackson have
Jackson and I and no you haven't
shut the fuck up
we go through them in order
listeners will appreciate this this is a bit of a recap
we go through them in order
and then after we've made all of our noises we then rank the noises
we don't do it halfway through.
Are you sure about that?
Yes.
The listeners can listen back.
Maybe I've just heard a mess
instead of the order that you claim.
Maybe, bloody,
if you weren't too worried about your fucking burnt stew.
Oh, yeah.
I forgot about it.
Crack it open.
Let's try some.
Actually, no.
This is a perfect time.
Crack open the stew.
If we threw our Darth Vader rankings,
bring out that stew Adam
that mummy theory stew that's been boiling this whole episode
it's overcooked
talking about the fucking mess that this episode is
let's crack it open
hang on just pass me your balls
alright so
I reckon
rankings and therefore the fear factor
on different mummies change
as you get older.
That is a fresh take that you should have said at the start of the episode.
I think you should be 15.
I think the age is pre-15 and after 15.
Because before 15, you're like still enough of a kid.
After 15, there's a grace period where you're like,
I'm too cool to be scared.
And then you're like just actually not scared. I think there's there's a grace period where you're like i'm too cool to be scared and then you're like just actually not scared i kind of know i think there's also a point you
hit where you're like a mummy is basically a stupid monster you know what i mean like if you
if you're younger than 15 the og mummy you're probably gonna spook you but as an adult man i'm
like i'll smack those bandages off your dumb face you're like it's just like a guy like it's not
even as scary as a zombie because a zombie is is like, well, I can't stop that.
And there's heaps of them.
Even Brendan Fraser's Mummy.
I remember watching that movie as like a 14-year-old
and being like, ah, this is the scariest thing
that'll ever happen to me.
And now I'm like, whatever.
It wasn't.
No.
Scariest thing was adulthood.
That's another fresh take.
The scariest thing movie I watched when I was 14 was Blade 2.
Is Blade 2 the one that opens with the blood club?
Yeah.
I was so scared of that movie.
What's going on?
That is a sick song.
New order.
That's good.
All right.
So Burned Anakin.
Let's get this done at least.
Okay.
Just.
Oh.
And then Darth Vader Uh oh
That's good
Alright and now
So Darth Vader
Pretty scary
Could kill you
He's scarier than a mummy
Yeah
But probably not as scary
As a mummy with less bits
Well Darth Vader's scary
Darth Vader
Darth Vader's scary
Darth Vader
Danny Darth Vader
Darth Vader Yeah He's scary because like a serial killer scary
not like a monster you know what i mean yeah you're like he can kill me but like he's a guy
i think if i like because like ted bundy and stuff like that you're like if you saw him
for some reason and you're like yo ted bundy you're a serial killer that's scary but then i
feel like it was a more fucked serial killer, although Ted Bundy, how fucked was he? Pretty fucked. I used to
fuck corpses, didn't I? I think so. Probably.
No, but if you saw it's
a different like if one's attacking
you, it's scary, but it's a human
fear. Yeah. Whereas if a mummy
with bits is attacking you, you're like, I don't know
what's going on. And that's scary.
I want an opinion here because I've been thinking
about it and I reckon I got this like little
dessert thing. Thank you.
It's good.
Darth Vader walking down the corridor in Rogue One
is very similar to how you might see a mummy going through
soldiers in a mummy movie.
Absolutely.
Darth Vader is mummy-esque.
It's a very good theory.
Darth Vader based off the mummy.
Call George Lucas.
He'll tell you.
You watch it. It's shot for shot.
The Rogue One is shot for shot.
Abbott and Costello meets the mummy.
Do you know when
Revenge of...
When the second Star Wars movie
came out, Episode 5, that's when
they named it Episode 4 and Episode 5?
No, it's not. I found that. I looked it up.
It was Episode 2.
I'm saying when episode
five came out, they called
it episode four, episode five. They did.
I looked it up. It's fucked.
Look, Adam,
I don't want to have a debate that has an answer on air,
but I can assure you that that is not the case.
Does somebody want to look it up so that we don't have this discussion?
1996 is when they got the
titles. Well, I'm willing to
concede, but I looked it up and I'm so
certain. So A New Hope was never called A New Hope.
It got named that when they did the
special edition, when they first went back
and edited them. So Empire Strikes
Back would have been Star Wars 2, but it was
never Star Wars 5. I'm willing to be
told on that, but like, I was so
certain. Well, coming into this, I was
100% sure. Into
this mummy episode If I'm wrong
Is it true then though
That the Indiana Jones movie
Was like
George Lucas is like
Indiana Jones
The first one
Is like
Indiana Jones number 32
I don't know
Maybe
Cause I heard that
From the same place
So now I'm unsure
On that one
Well that seems reasonable
Because that's the kind of thing
Well it kind of does
That seems reasonable The Indiana Jones like Series is them... Well, it kind of does. That seems reasonable.
The Indiana Jones, like, series is them being, like,
it's, like, meant to be, like, a serial.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so, like, it would make sense for them to be, like,
yeah, we're just jumping in on one of Indy's many adventures
where he's got to get the bloody arc of...
That seems literally anything but.
So, like, because George Lucas was planning on making those 32 movies.
Oh.
Yeah. Okay, well, that's 32 movies. Oh. Yeah.
Okay.
Well, that's just mad.
Yes.
Fuck.
You've watched the behind the scenes.
This is so off topic.
You've watched the behind the scenes of...
Are there any mummies in Indiana Jones?
I feel like there surely must be.
In Kingdom of the Crystal Skull...
Oh, wait.
No, I was wrong.
Fuck.
Oh, Adam Cannavale.
Winner, winner, chicken chicken dinner that's very confusing
but cool yeah no it was never it was always called the empire strikes back but in the opening crawl
it's just like episode five like what yeah it's fucked that's crazy that's so dumb in so many ways
this is you learning it's just a whole bunch. I'm just really fucking confused now, because I honestly thought it was...
Anyway, I hope everyone enjoyed me being smoked and then wrong.
I refused to believe it until it was right there in front of me.
It's sad that people can't be in the studio with us to taste your hubris.
No, no, I'm not even like...
I was in douche...
I was butt in douche's seat not that long ago
Well there you go
I called the friend who said it
Dirt shit dog shit dumb shit
And then I turned out to be dirt shit dog shit dumb shit
Fucking twist
You're probably right about Indiana Jones
Probably did intend to make 32
I was going to say if you watch the behind the scenes
Of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
You can see how much he's done
Making Indiana Jones movies Who you that could be anyone that could
have been fucking shia labeouf at that point it's fucking ah fuck man spielberg's like yeah i got
these ideas and george lucas is like it should be aliens and spielberg's like oh no that's kind
of silly and he's like no let's make it aliens. And it's like an interview and Spielberg's like, I just knew George Lucas wasn't going to stop.
So it's alien. It's amazing. I'm surprised they're still fun.
I'm imagining like, um, I think we should, um, I reckon, uh, aliens.
Aliens is probably the good idea.
Aliens is what it should be.
It's very funny.
Anyway, I'm flying back to the Skywalker ranch
you want to come with?
What a voice that man has.
It's quite Mickey Mouse-like.
1981 was when A New Hope was titled
A New Hope.
Yep.
Alright.
Cool.
It's fucked.
Imagine if they didn't make the prequels
for 20 years after that.
Longer.
30.
It is fucked.
20 years.
I was right the first time.
Anyway, The Mummy.
This just shook me to my core.
Fuck, that's scary.
That one is me like, oh, I'm super right all the time.
And now I'm like, oh.
Maybe I'm not right about some other things.
You're wrong about everything.
Fuck.
I love Star Wars.
I've read so much.
How did I not know?
I don't know, man.
This is fucked.
Gel Dusha shook.
Anyway, mums.
Mums.
Scary.
When you're first born, from under 15, you're like, oh.
Yeah.
When your mum's being like, I'm cross.
You're like, oh.
You're like, oh, shit. There's an age. There's an age where you stop being so oh. Yeah. When your mum's being like, I'm cross. You're like, oh. You're like, oh, shit.
There's an age.
There's an age where you stop being so scared.
Yeah.
But then mum can hurt you in other ways.
Yeah.
Financially, emotionally.
Has anyone here ever had the, um,
your mum calls you by your full name
and then you know you're in trouble?
Uh.
Do you have an equivalent, at least?
Yeah.
If my mum used Jackson instead of of jack or bode which is
her nickname for me dickhead yeah oh fuck jackson you fuck with dog is something the matter mother
dirt shit jackson um but no if she you know because my mom's here jackson then i'm like
oh fuck i'm in trouble or i was my name is short and therefore cannot be extended or shortened. Yeah, same thing.
But surely you got like Adam Carnavale.
Joel Fortescue Dusha.
Four square, actually.
Joel Four Square Dusha.
I think there might have been like the faster she said it.
I'm like, ooh.
Dumb!
Adam! Adam! Ah!
Dumb!
Ah!
Dumb you dumb!
What if it's real slow?
Ah!
Dumb!
That sounds frustrated.
Like, ah, no.
But no, if it was like clipped.
Like that?
Yeah, like, maybe not.
That's a little bit going.
Yep, that, that, that one. Whoa, it sent chills down my spine. Oh, maybe not. That's a little bit going. Yep, that, that, that one.
Whoa, it sent chills down my spine.
Oh, stop it.
I'm scared.
I'm in trouble again.
Again, I am 10.
I am but a 12-year-old now who has spilt Coke all over the floor on the good rug.
I once spilt milk all over family photos when I was about eight. It was a big box of family photos and my mom
was not happy. It occurred to me that you could have
said literally any age and I would have been like
yep. Oh, I just had like
milk on photos yesterday.
Yep.
Speaking of scary moms.
It's not as great as it did imagine me with a big box of photos
but like a jug of milk.
I'm just like coming down my beard onto the photos.
That just reminded me of a story involving photos as well.
So when I was like nine, maybe 10, youngish, but not that young.
Like my sister used to go to a scrapbooking class.
Yeah.
I mean, don't ask, but I went to like for three weeks cause I was bored and mom gave
me what I later found out was one of her favorite photos of me as a child, which I mean, I was
born in 1991.
So there's no digital copies of that bad boy.
And I cut it wrong and cut off my own head and then I just threw it in the bin.
And then mom was like, Oh, what happened to the photo?
And I was like that.
She's like, I got to stuck it back together.
And she was, I was like, oh yeah.
She's like, did you just throw it out? I was like, yeah. She's like, oh, what happened to the photo? And I was like that. She's like, I gotta stack it back together. And I was like, oh, yeah. She's like, did you just throw it out?
I was like, yeah.
She's like, Joel, I loved that photo.
That's so funny.
There's similar photos.
Like, as in, like, it's...
A lot of the milk photos were gone forever.
My dad's very particular about this shit.
He documents fucking everything.
Like, I didn't know for the longest time.
I didn't know that it's not usual for when someone has a birthday.
First off, for, like, fucking relatives from overseas to come over for any old birthday.
And I also didn't know it was unusual that everyone, everyone has their photo taken with the birthday person.
What?
Oh, that's weird.
Group photos, sure. Not one-on-one. Everyone has their photo taken with the birthday person What? Oh that's weird Group photo sure
Not one on one
So like
What we would do is
So
Or what we do at a party is
Like
Say it's one of my cousins
Me, my mom, my dad, my brother, my sister
We're all there
We take the photo
But then
My brother has a girlfriend
So it's the
It's the cousin
My brother
And his girlfriend
That's a photo
Every Every possible combination Every possible combination of people So it's the cousin, my brother, and his girlfriend. That's a photo.
Every.
Every possible combination.
Every possible combination of people who are related one way or another to each other.
That's mad.
Where's that on the fear factor for you?
That's scary ass.
What noise?
I'd be like, oh.
I'd be like, oh, no, that's too many photos.
I didn't know that was unusual until I was like 20.
Oh, my God.
That was only like three minutes ago. Boy, you got to...
Fuck, you got to...
The whole shebang, this whole rigmarole.
It's got to be a good photo.
There's multiple photos taken.
Of course.
Okay, naturally.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, what was the scariest mommy?
Mommy with some bits.
Yeah.
Darth Vader.
My mother. Uh-huh mother Who is a lovely lady
But sometimes mums are scary
Sometimes a mum's gotta be scary
Put you in line
Adam's photo dystopia
Big face
That's my top five
I forgot big face
That's a perfect ranking of the mummies.
And on that note, I've been Joel.
I've been Jackson.
I've been Adam.
Mummy!
Come to a family photo thing.
It's good.
It's not.
