Starting point is 00:00:00 Well, should we stop down and talk about what we're doing here? We're not all together in the same place. And we're going to have to do some episodes like this every now and then because... Yes, and we can always blame somebody, right? Like, this is somebody's fault. So who are we going to blame? Okay, we can blame a little bit of Glenn. We can blame a little bit of Megan.
Starting point is 00:00:22 Why? How can we blame Megan? The office isn't ready? I don't know. We're moving to a new office. Well, yes, that is true. We're moving into a new studio and it is not ready, which might be the reason we have to do another one of these, maybe. But I'm pretty excited about it. Maybe we'll do another one at Rob's house because that was pretty nice, too.
Starting point is 00:00:40 But Glenn, you're in Texas. And Glenn's in Texas, yeah. But to be fair to Megan, Glenn, it was really Glenn's fault because Megan has been working tirelessly to get us from one building to another and it's actually going to happen rather quickly. So really, Glenn, this is all your fault. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd say that's accurate. Because you wanted to support your wife so bad.
Starting point is 00:01:05 Yeah, this is what I get for supporting my wife. I'm out here in South by Southwest in Austin. And, you know, it's, I don't know if you guys have ever been to South by Southwest, but the whole town is just a big party. It was crazy. I've been to Austin several times and I always enjoy going to Austin. But I've not, I've been to so few like festivals and things. And I think it would be so fun.
Starting point is 00:01:34 But just a smattering. Yeah, Jill's movie premieres tonight. So that'll be, that'll be interesting. That'll be fun. Exciting. But yes, this is, this is my fault. This is my fault. I appreciate you taking responsibility for that, Glenn.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Yeah. Yeah, man. Although I guess you could also say it was, you know, I'll take some responsibility or some blame because normally we do it during the week and I'm unavailable this week. So maybe it's actually my fault. Oh, so what happened anyway? Would have, would have been this way anyway. I suppose I'm also, I also take some blame because I, you know, I'm the one who's always insisting
Starting point is 00:02:14 that, you know, we, we find an office that's sort of equidistant between the three of us. And so, you know, the fact that we even have to move offices, I don't know, I'm just trying to throw my hat in the ring. It's not really my fault. Should we talk about this episode? Yeah. I watched it with my son. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Okay. Oh my God. How was that experience? Well, yeah. Um, we've been trying to dip our toes into a little bit. He's turning 12 and we started dipping our toes into, you know, allowing him to watch some of the episodes. And we thought, again, having no memory of it whatsoever, we thought maybe this one might
Starting point is 00:02:58 be a fun one to get into. And there are aspects of the story that are, but then this is really where we established Dennis as a sexual predator in, in some capacity. Um, there's, there's some of that for sure. Because to me, I'm like, oh, we don't yet know what the show is and we're looking for it. Yeah. Like there's some super cartoonish elements of the story, which I did not enjoy.
Starting point is 00:03:24 No. Personally. Yeah. No, we pushed, we pushed it on this one real far. And I remember us talking about this actually when we were writing it too. I remember when we were working on this episode, we were like, this is really insane. Like what we're doing here. And I think, you know, because we, it was the first time we, we had to do 15 episodes,
Starting point is 00:03:43 which I think was pretty overwhelming to us at the time, well, hell, that would be overwhelming to me now. Um, I don't think we had time to really second guess ourselves. I think we just had to press on and make the best of it that we could. And I would actually argue that for as cartoonish as it is, it did make me laugh. I was laughing a lot, um, but it is ridiculous. I mean, we go from just, you know, bar owners and you guys are going clothing shopping to like running a full-on sweatshop by the end where you have a steam whistle, you know,
Starting point is 00:04:16 and, uh, and we've hired a bunch of Eastern European knockwurst smelling women to, to, to sew clothes for us. I mean, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, the opening scene is so great. And I remember so distinctly, first of all, Judy Greer, who's fantastic and we knew her from Arrested Development, right? That's where we knew her from. And, um, and so I remember on that day that was not scripted that Charlie has all the hats and all the clothes on and he didn't tell me what he was, he was doing it.
Starting point is 00:04:47 I distinctly remember, and it was a reveal. And so D, D walks over and the camera just pans over, Charlie's full on laughing or at least smiling. I remember being behind the monitors and laughing. It's kind of big. That's what I'm sure I was just doing for you guys. Being like, all right, let's, let me see if I can throw them off here. And it's the, it's the stack of hats and the fact, the stack of hats and the fact that
Starting point is 00:05:13 you found a hoodie that could actually go up. Most hoodies wouldn't, most hoodies wouldn't go over that many hats. I don't know really who this character is, but he's in my mind from somewhere in my childhood. But like, do you remember the great Gazoo? He was like a cartoon character, kind of like the Martian and Warner Brothers big bunnies thing, but like, I don't know, some big brain, like alien guy. And I was going for a great Gazoo look. Well, I definitely remember being in a store and early on, and even still to this day,
Starting point is 00:05:46 but certainly early on, we would barely be able to afford to shoot, to shut a store. We definitely couldn't shut a store down. So the store would be like, okay, you guys can shoot here, but we're going to keep it open. And then it would just be like, random people walking in and be like, what's going on in the middle of a take? And we'd be like, we're making a show and, and, and that's because that's all we could afford.
Starting point is 00:06:10 And so we would be kind of like huddled up in the side of a, of a, of a clothing store and people would just be walking by, just doing, just shopping, going about their day. I think we just didn't have any money and everybody was just doing the best they could. Like locations was like, how much is my budget? Oh, okay. Well, they walk in there like, I'll give you 50 bucks to let us shoot here. And the owners are like, sure, but we're staying open. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:31 Yeah. Yeah. And they're like, I don't think the guys, and they're like, this isn't one of those shows where that matters, you know what I mean? And then, yeah, that's right. It really, the production value on, have you seen this show? It looks like shit. It does not matter.
Starting point is 00:06:43 There will be people looking directly into the camera and like, it's fine, the guys don't really care about that. I find that, that is often the thing you go around and you're scouting locations and they'll like, okay, it's one, it's one price to buy the whole thing out, which is usually pretty expensive. It's another price to shoot in here, but we're staying open, but you've got to kind of stay out of our workspace. You got to like find a corner to shoot in.
Starting point is 00:07:03 And I think we did a lot of option B deals and probably still do, you know. But yeah, but anyway, so the, the, the, the dentist care, I mean, you're so funny in this Glenn, like the, and, and it starts the peak, it starts with you haven't begun the peak yet, which that's endured. Yeah. I mean, I, I can see, I can see myself as a, as an actor and I do remember, and I think we have talked about this, but like, I do remember that season three really was the year where I feel like I found the character.
Starting point is 00:07:37 I mean, it took, I mean, not that it wasn't there before, but like, I really felt like I was, as an actor, just sort of like letting myself be a little bit more insane and crazy and unhinged and just weird, just making weird choices and just kind of doing whatever I thought was, was funny and taking a risk that other people would find it funny too. But I can see that also in this episode, Rob, like I can see myself like just trying on like, let's just see how despicable and egotistical and awful and narcissistic and predatory. When we make this character and still have it be funny, it's just like, how far can I push this guy?
Starting point is 00:08:23 And you do see a lot of that in, in the episode and ironically, that is, you're starting to see really who the character becomes, who he really becomes. Well, you went on a run on, and I feel like I can't remember specifically, but I think we probably had some debate over whether or not we could do this for your character or in general, but you have the funny run of like words like no or stop or don't have never worked on me. And I feel like I remember, ah, I remember some, like some debate about it, but I don't, I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Like if you, you might have been uncomfortable with it or we definitely all were, but we kept, I remember just kept saying, yes, but if we're going to do the thing, let's do the thing. So if we're going to, if we're going to suggest that these are the worst people on the planet and that's the joke, then let's just go all the way into it. And how can we do that in every, in every which way? Yeah, it's, it's a, I remember that too, Charlie. As a matter of fact, I, it'd be interesting to maybe go back and try and find the original shooting script of that because I think a lot of that stuff maybe wasn't even in the
Starting point is 00:09:26 script. I think that was stuff that we were like messing around with on the day and yeah, I think there was a lot of improv happening there around that section. And I remember us, I remember us like laughing a lot, but also thinking like also all of us being very uncomfortable, but in a way that we were like, I think it's, I think we should push through this discomfort because it is making us laugh and we are portraying this awful, awful human being, you know, and a certain mentality that again, this is what our show is, that that is a mentality that really does exist, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:10:04 It's like this misconception of what it means to be a confident winner. It's so despicable to us, the three of us and all of us as people that it was a little tough. Well, but then we have Judy's character saying over and including that in that one scene with the model and then with Ingrid Nelson, where they're straight up saying, you are a bad person, you are a piece of shit, like, and, and that's, they're the mirror to the audience, right? The audience is looking at that and saying, oh yes, the show is recognizing that this
Starting point is 00:10:33 behavior is terrible. And my 11 year old is watching it and he's, and he's like, Dennis is insane, right? And I'm like, yes. And he's like, he's, he's the bad guy in the story. And I'm like, yes. Okay. So the 12 year old gets it. That's a good sign.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Can I speak for all women why I think it works, at least for me, why, why I like it. It's the common, like it's the combination of that rant about words like no and stop and the winners thing and also Dennis's obsession with the body shape of this woman. And it all comes from a place for me of feeling like someone in his past, maybe his parents, maybe his coaches, someone fed him these like messages about what, what is good and what it takes to succeed. And that is what he's like regurgitating. And so to me, like the whole thing as a whole works almost as like being about toxic masculinity
Starting point is 00:11:21 and the way that like it's ingrained as, as you cannot fail in this thing. This woman can't reject you. And also having Judy there to be like, I see on a woman, an uncomfortable, used woman stuffed into a dress. Like that is some kind of mania with us. Like I feel like we really stumbled on like, okay, if these characters are borderline maniacal with their insecurities, really, you know, then it starts to become funny. But yeah, he kicked down, he kicked the door.
Starting point is 00:11:55 We just kept doubling down and doubling down and doubling down. Is that when we started the kicking in door jokes? Cause we did a bunch of kick in doors where we're like, you kicked it in and we reveal it was kicked in. Have you guys ever kicked in a door? We had a door in Brooklyn that we had to kick in one time. It was surprisingly easy. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:12:17 What do you mean? You actually kicked in a door? Is what you're saying? Yes. Our door to our, my door to my, our apartment, we got locked out of it. And we kept calling the, the building manager and he wasn't around and we were like, there's no way to get into this door. So, and I think somebody tried to like jump into it and that doesn't work as it hurts
Starting point is 00:12:34 your shoulder. But if you just back up and kick the fuck, kick the door at the hinge, what happened? It doesn't break the lock. It just breaks the door hinge rather easily. Oh, now again, this is probably like a, I don't know when this building was built. It was a piece of shit. So I'm sure doors are much more reinforced now, but it was surprisingly easy. Oh, that's kind of, that's kind of fun.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Well, yeah, I mean, we do, we do try to kick in the door marked private in the, the Korea episode battering ram me into it. We also, we also, we actually do battering ram a door open in season five in the episode where we're the mortgage crisis episode. We use an actual battering ram to just bash through that door. Do you guys remember that? I was going to say, I had a buddy in college, we were at this, we were at like someone's house party and there was a big snowstorm and this was pre cell phones, right?
Starting point is 00:13:33 So he had left the party. He comes back like hours later, the party's like, guys, bad news, man. Somebody broke into our apartment. But I like, I got home right when the guy had broken in and he like scrambled out the window or something and we're like, Oh shit. And you saw the door was all kicked in and everything and we're like, man, wow, glad you got here in time. Then you know, it's like late at night and I kind of was still up and, and the buddy
Starting point is 00:13:59 who saw the guy had gone to sleep and I start thinking about a story, thinking about it. I'm like, and I go and I grab, grab this dude's shoe and it perfectly matches the shoe print in the door. And what had happened was he was just so hammered and he lost his key that he, that, that he kicked the door in and came up with a whole crazy story instead of just being like, instead of going all the way back to the party and snowstorm and getting someone else's key. We busted him on it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Fix the door. Wow. So you guys have, uh, both have kicking indoors stories. I don't know how to kick an indoor story. It's probably good. That's probably good. Kick an indoor. Don't want to have to kick an indoor story.
Starting point is 00:14:45 I always thought it would be, it always sounded fun to me though. It's one of those things like, God, that, that sounds, you know, there's like a handful of things that always sounded kind of interesting to me that I always wanted to test the theory of like when I was a kid, I was always like, you know, like kicking a door down, like, what, how hard. Why don't we do this? Why don't we, in our new studio, we just commit to whatever the cost is to repair a door. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:10 And then we just give you your dream buddy. This is Hollywood. Well, you know, like you can do whatever you want. Well, let's lock a door. Let's find a door that you can kick in and we'll put it on the podcast and, and you can talk about your experience of kicking the door in and how you felt, how you felt before, how it changed you. I didn't.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Right. Yeah. Well, no. Let me throw this out there because I've got a list of things, but you know, it's not just the door. There's, there's like, you want to kick in. No. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:15:38 There's a list of things that things that I've, that I've always seen that I saw in movies a lot as a kid that I always wanted to, uh, you know, check out like one of them is kicking in a door. Now that's an easy one to set up. This next one I'm about to name is, is, uh, would not be so easy, uh, kick. But by the way, we should do that, uh, because I really would like to do that means a lot to me that you would spend the money on a door or at least, you know, split, split, it, you know, we'll split it.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Yeah. We'll split the door. Yeah, we'll split. It depends on the door, right? If it's like one of those, like, you know, like within a building from one room to another, sure. But if we're talking about from the outside of a building into a building, those are tougher doors.
Starting point is 00:16:23 I think, I think we start with an inside door. Yeah. Okay. Well, Glenn, what else is on that list, Glenn? Let's see if we can get like a checklist of things that Glenn's always wanted to do, and then we can do them. We can, we can create and provide the environment for you to achieve your dreams. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:36 So, I don't know that we could do this next one, but I've always wanted to know what it was like to actually sink in Quicksand. You know what I mean, like, I want to know, can you look up where, where, where can we get some Quicksand? I feel like Quicksand was portrayed and portrayed in so many different movies, like when we were kids growing up, like, I mean, most famously, you know, like, well, there was the, there's the scene in the never ending story, of course, where the, where the horse sinks, that's, that was awful, because that, apparently that horse really died.
Starting point is 00:17:13 You guys know that, right? What? That horse, that, that horse actor, that horse, that horse in that, in that real scene actually died. No. They couldn't get it out. They couldn't retrieve it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Yeah. The horse and the, did you say get, did you say get the horse? No, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, son, you wanted to take the horse. Okay. All right. But this was your horse. There's no.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Oh no. That is so sad. All right. And the whole point of the scene, right, was that, that the horse didn't believe anymore and, and, and the kids begging. Hold on. I'm, I'm seeing online that it, that's, that's not true, which I am so glad because. I'm so happy.
Starting point is 00:18:05 I was so traumatized by that scene, fake that, that, so entertainment weekly, if you believe that says the horse didn't really die, despite what's been said throughout the years, we had two identical white horses and it was shot over a few weeks, that, that scene. I don't know. I mean, I was at an entertainment weekly party last night. I don't know if I trust those. It sounds like a dead horse cover up. And then of course there's the quicksand scene in the princess bride.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Yeah. That's right. In the fire swamp. In the fire swamp. I do believe there are other quicksand. There was like an obsession with quicksand. We were obsessed with quicksand. Lots of cartoons, like Bugs Bunny cartoon kind of things.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, just a lot of quicksand stuff. We did a version of it this season in sunny with the bog. That's right. We did a version. Yeah, I was very happy about that, by the way. I was also very happy that I wasn't the person who had to do it. When we get to that episode, we should have Caitlin tell the story of, of, of shooting
Starting point is 00:19:10 that scene because her story of her experience of actually sinking in that, in that, in that mud was so funny and so messed up. Yeah. She, she has done a lot of things for the sake, physical things to her body for the sake of comedy and that is one of the more upsetting ones. Can you see if quicksand does exist somewhere on this planet? Yeah, I was there for that. I was there for that shooter and I asked her to go under.
Starting point is 00:19:35 I was like, if you could, be great if you could go under for one. And she did. But it wasn't even the, I don't even think that was the worst part of it. It sounded like it was going up her pants and it like bubbles were going up her pants and she thought that she thought, she thought there were like little creatures crawling up her pants, but it was just bubbles and she didn't, she was like, she was like, but I don't, she didn't want to stop the take because she was like, if I, you know, I don't want to ruin this, then you got to redo it, then you got to redo it.
Starting point is 00:20:02 And she's like, there, I think there's little creatures like crawling up inside my body right now. And, and, and, and, but she was like, but we got to get this. Like that. Yeah. She's a bit, I mean, like that kudos to her. Wait, so Meg, where is there, where is there quicksand in this world? So quicksand really does exist and it's basically when sand is so small and fine and it mixes
Starting point is 00:20:22 with water, but what I'm seeing is that you can't really drown in it in the way that they portray in movies. It's not sucking you down into it, but quicksand is a phenomenon that can happen when water reduces the friction of like very fine sand. Now, if somebody were to give you a paralytic, you know, a paralytic, a paralyzing drug of some kind and pop you on some quicksand and just slowly let you sink, that's pretty fucking diabolical. All right, what else, what else do you want to do?
Starting point is 00:20:55 And what else are what are your dreams? Well, this one, this one I've actually gotten to do and I, and I have to say I was very excited about it. The first time I've had, I've gotten to do this a few times and I don't know if you guys have ever played this game, it's so stupid. Sorry. Okay. So the first time I got to do this is when I, when I got my wisdom teeth taken out because
Starting point is 00:21:20 I'd never had any kind of surgery prior to that. And you know, they were going to, the guy was like, okay, so here's, here's what we're going to do. I'm going to put an IV in you and I'm going to have you count down from 20 or something like that, or maybe it was 10, I don't remember. And you know, then you're going to, you're going to go, you're going to go night night. And I was like, ooh, I've seen this in like James Bond movies where like, you know, they give the, like the hero a drug and he's got to try to stay awake as long as he possibly
Starting point is 00:21:47 can, because if he falls asleep, he's dead, you know. So I thought like, ooh, I wonder how long, if I really, really put some effort into this, I wonder how long I can stay awake, right? So he puts the needle in and I'm like, okay, here we go. 10. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And then you're out, just like, I think I made a exact thing happen to where I did the same thing where I was like, I'm going to try and stay awake.
Starting point is 00:22:14 I was like, what? I asked the guy like the anesthesiologist, how long has someone been able to stay? Like, what's the number that they can get to? So you did this too. I did the same exact thing. I've done it twice. And two different anesthesiologists and same, same, and both both times, but more specifically the first time the guy was like, what do you mean?
Starting point is 00:22:31 And I'm like, what number do you think I can make it to? If I'm counting down, he goes, what number do you want to get to? And I said, I don't, I don't know. Like six. He goes, all right, then I'll put you out on six. And I go, well, no, I mean, maybe I want to do four and he's like, then I'll put you out on four. And I'm like, no, no, I want to try and get there.
Starting point is 00:22:50 You try to put me out on 10. He goes, buddy, if I try to put you out on 10, you'll go out on 10, you'll go out whenever I tell you to go out. And I was like, okay, fine. So I go 10. I wake up. I know there are other things that are on that list. And I actually think I, I think I actually think I have that list somewhere.
Starting point is 00:23:11 And the reason I have it is because I think I've maybe tried to pitch it for the show before where our characters actually want to experience these things that they, that they saw in 80s movies is get blown to safety. One of them. The 80s movie thing where like the explosion happens on you and then you're like rocketed into like a body of water. The rock is a famous one, like the rock where he's like, ah, and it just like gets blown into water.
Starting point is 00:23:42 It's like, thank God that I got blown to safety. To be clear that you're talking about the rock, the Michael Bay joint, not the Michael Bay movie. Not the actor. Although I would say probably the actor of the rock has also been blown to safety. He's probably been blown to safety if you're talking to blown to safety. I am. I can't.
Starting point is 00:23:58 Yeah. And if he hasn't, I'm sure it's in his next contract because he's like, when do I get to be blown to safety? Those are all the movies I grew up with because he grew up with the same movies we did. He wants to be blown to safety just like all of us do. You know, without somehow, I guess the trick to being blown to safety really is a, how flexible is your spine? Right?
Starting point is 00:24:20 Because you're going to, you know what I mean? You're going to, when it hits you, you get, you know, depending on if it's from the front of the back, but either way, your spine is going to go like that. Okay. So that's number one. Number two is what's your tolerance for shrapnel? Yeah. That's right.
Starting point is 00:24:34 That's right. Well, you got to be, the shrapnel hopefully is blown around you, but not directly into you. Yeah. Yeah. Are you got a couple of pieces in you? Is there something soft you can land into when you're blown to vets? That's right.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Is there, right? Is there a mattress truck going by just as you get? Yeah. Yeah. Like, you know, like, you know, like, is there a swimming pool somewhere is ideal and the explosion. Because you might, you might, you might be on fire and the pool will put you out. Right?
Starting point is 00:25:06 I mean, yeah. I think that's the ideal scenario. Whether or not your body can defy the laws of physics because that is what's happening, right? In that, in that scenario, you're, you're surviving the, you're somehow surviving the concussive force that is so strong, it can blow your body somewhere else, but isn't, isn't decimating the flesh on your, on your corpus. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:29 Well, that on your corpus, is that, did you, is that right? Did you use that word properly? No. All right, Glenn, what do you got? What do you got? One of them is just like getting chloroformed. Oh. You know, having somebody put the, put a chloroform over it.
Starting point is 00:25:47 That's, now that's something we could do. Well, that's proper. That's something we could do. Yeah. I mean, that, that's essentially a propofol, isn't it? Like, it's the, I don't know. How am I going to explain these expenses? No.
Starting point is 00:25:57 I would be concerned about the chloroform because there's a, there's a, a chance you, the person doesn't come, come out and then, so you, so the only way that works is if you chloroform yourself because I don't want to be on the hook for that. I'm not going to be a part of this chloroform and each other. According to the movies, you got to pour it on the cloth and you got to get it around the guy's mouth. And you've got to hold it there for a while. Like it doesn't happen instantly.
Starting point is 00:26:22 You got to, you got to be some struggle first. Right. That person has to have a lot of struggle. Good inhale. I'm glad you're saying he, he, he's going to struggle. It's a he on he. You know what? You know what?
Starting point is 00:26:33 Yeah. This is a he on he in my, in my mind. And, and you know what? I'm way more, I'm way more glad. It's good. It's good that it's a, it's good that it's a man. I'm far more glad than I said he, than you fancy. It is good.
Starting point is 00:26:44 It's good. Yeah. But it worries me a little. Yeah. Well, this, this man, this man doesn't have a mustache because the mustache, but I like to believe I can count, I can fight it off the way that I could not as, not as well as I can fight off the propofol, but I could fight off the chloroform. I think.
Starting point is 00:27:04 I think we should find out how toxic it is, right? Like we don't want to do any permanent damage here. But if, if we're looking at a situation where it's not that bad for you, I'll do that. I'll do that. It certainly sounds like a good time. If we find out that it's really not a huge deal to knock someone out with a, a, a, a noxious chemical gas, um, then I will do that where you try to chloroform me and I try to fight it off.
Starting point is 00:27:37 So all of our fantasies get to come true. I get. What does that mean? You try to fight it off. Do you get to physically try to fight Glenn off because that's a big part of not being chloroformed is like, okay, the guy put the rag over my mouth. I'm going to kick back where it's trying to catch his nuts and scramble out of that's really quick.
Starting point is 00:27:52 You know, versus like, I'm going to try to not let the chemical, yeah, fair. I would say we could start, we can start in a very specific position, which is, which I have to let him get it to my face. And then if you really want to do this, we have to see that it's safe and then we have to not let you know when Glenn's going to chloroform you, that's, that's the real test is if he starts doing it, can he do it quick enough to knock you out? You got, I got to be ready for it at any, at any time, I don't want to be a part of this.
Starting point is 00:28:29 No, that's probably fair. Really fair. I don't blame you. We, we, we definitely shouldn't do it, but, um, but we should definitely reason, we should not do it. We should let people in general know that it's something that can or cannot be done. Right. Like this is, you know, we're pulling from movies from, from movies from the past, you
Starting point is 00:28:46 know, 30 years. Yeah. But somebody out there is listening to our podcast, being like, wait, oh, really, look, look, that, that, that's like when you watch those commercials and there's somebody driving a truck off the top of a building and crashing into the ground and then they have to put the, the disclaimer underneath it. Do not attempt. I mean, is that where we are as a fucking culture that we just have to cater to every
Starting point is 00:29:05 dumb, dumb on the planet and be like, well, Hey, just FYI, this isn't real and you shouldn't do this. Fuck off. Like where's the, there's no, no personal responsibility whatsoever. Get out of here. Yeah. But it is, but it is real. We're talking about really doing it, but yeah, we're, we're, we're talking about how
Starting point is 00:29:27 well you can fight it and how well it works. You know, we're getting people ideas. Right. And how much fun it is and how much fun it is to perform that experiment. Yeah. Well, so we should just suggest that we are professionals, right? And, and like, you should not try this at home because we are professionals. Leave it to the professionals guys.
Starting point is 00:29:52 I would like to, based on, based on every movie I've ever seen in my entire life, I just want to watch somebody get knocked unconscious with one punch. That seems to happen in movies all the time. I've seen it in the UFC. I've seen it in professional fighters, of course, but I've never seen that in person. And I've certainly never seen that like done to multiple people where, you know, like in a movie, you'll watch somebody Jean-Claude Van Damme or fucking Steven Secault, just knock out like eight guys in a row.
Starting point is 00:30:23 And I've asked some of my UFC friends, some like real scary people who can fight like, hey, how would you handle three guys, and the answer is always the same, run as fast as you can. And those are like the toughest guys like on the planet earth. Well, you guys have all seen those, those great videos of a six foot five Steven Secault, like just throwing little five foot dudes around, around the room. Like that shit is so weird. Like it does look amazing.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Like it, and it, like it, you know, and he just, he looks like he's half asleep while he's doing it. He's just like, and the guy just goes flying and he's just like, he's just like doing this. And they're just like all just like doing flips and falling all over the place. Like, and he's just like, he barely has his fucking eyes open, you know, and he's just doing, you know, that's, that's some shit. Like, yeah, just flailing his hands around like, I can't tell if that guy is completely fucking badass or just totally full of shit or some combination of the two.
Starting point is 00:31:23 I really can't. Cause, cause it looks good. You know what I mean? Like if any, if nothing else, he's a good dancer. You know what I mean? He's a, he's a cool looking. Well, there's a famous story about Steven Secault that, uh, in the, in the martial arts world where he was famous for beating up stunt guys and like hurting stunt guys, but not, not
Starting point is 00:31:41 because the stunt guys are there to perform the stunts and you're supposed to do that in a safe manner. And he was very famous for, for like really like getting, getting guys hurt. And so there was one stunt coordinator who was a legend in the martial arts world, uh, who's named Jean LaBelle and that he was, uh, his nickname was Judo Jean. Yeah. And there's a famous story where Judo Jean, where Steven says to Judo Jean, you, you could never choke me out because you could never get a hold of me.
Starting point is 00:32:07 And he was like, well, I believe I could. And Steven's like, okay, well, let's see you try. And so Steven goes after him and Judo Jean LaBelle chokes him out right in the middle of the set. And then he wakes up. And then it's like, well, that was bullshit. You know, you just, you can't do it again. And he did it again.
Starting point is 00:32:26 And then while Steven Seagal was unconscious, he shit himself. And so he shit himself and woke up. Now there are people who swear that they were there in the room and saw it and smelled it. And it was very clear that Steven Seagal had had shit himself while he was unconscious. I choose to believe that that happened. Yeah. I want to know what else is on Glenn's list. I'd like, we've only been in quick standing court for him.
Starting point is 00:32:53 What else you got? Yeah. The other one, the other one is cutting open a huge bag of cocaine and testing it on your gums. Oh, it's like a knife. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Yeah. I always find that interesting. Like I, here's, here's how my brain works, right? Whenever I see that in a movie, you know, the guy, there's like a big tightly packed thing of cocaine and a guy takes a knife and he just, and he cuts into it and then he puts a little on the tip of the knife, you know, and he either snorts it or he, or he dips his finger in. He goes like that.
Starting point is 00:33:26 First of all, my first thought is like, my first thought is like, well, now that bag of cocaine, that's going to be a mess. There's a giant hole in that thing. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I'm like, fuck. Now, is somebody going to tape that up or something? Yeah. It's like, I don't know why that, but that's where my mind goes.
Starting point is 00:33:41 When you're bringing extra tape, I don't want this to spill everywhere. Well, you've got to get into it. You've got to get into it somehow. Yeah. Yeah. I guess you're right. If you really need to test it on the spot, which, I mean, I think it's, if you've got just like a giant crate and it's all filled with tightly packaged things of white powder,
Starting point is 00:34:00 you know, you're not, it's not baking soda, you know what I'm saying? It's not a fucking arm and hammer truck. It's fucking cocaine. Okay. You probably don't need to taste it. It does feel like there were so many drops like from growing up like a quicksand chloroform testing cocaine on the gums that are they still in, there's so many movies now. I guess it's not the same for a kid growing up, right?
Starting point is 00:34:22 Well, no, because now there's more, there's more women making movies. So that, that, that changed a lot of things. Right. A lot of things. I got to do a movie thing actually because of Rob. I got to drive a tank over a car. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what? So I was in Vegas with my husband and we were doing a road trip and I texted Rob because
Starting point is 00:34:46 I was like, oh my God, my husband's taking me to this gun range. And because he wanted to shoot a bunch of World War II era guns because he's like a history nut and he just wanted to like test out some of these old machine guns and stuff. And I was like, this place is so wild. They have this like experience here where you can drive a tank over a car. And then, so I just like text him that and then I was sitting there waiting for my husband's like appointment and a guy comes out and he's like, is there a Megan around here? Cause somebody's on the phone wanting to like get you this tank experience.
Starting point is 00:35:15 So he called them and like signed me up for it and they put me in a tank and they have these like beater cars and I got to like push the controls forward and like drive a tank over a car and like it blew out all the windows. It was awesome. It was like one of the coolest things I've ever done in my whole life. Wow. Well, if I, if I'd thought of it that definitely would have gone on my list. Well, what about from, yeah, I think for me it wouldn't be a tank, but it would be a monster
Starting point is 00:35:42 truck. What was the, what was the big monster truck when we were kids? Yeah. There was one big foot. Big foot. Big foot. Imagine driving big foot over like, oh, like a series of like 10 cars. Have you guys been to a monster truck rally?
Starting point is 00:35:56 Hell yeah. It's super fun. Yeah. They are fun. It's loud as shit. I took my, I took my oldest son to one when he was like three years old and he, he was too much for him. He was like.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Yeah. It's, it's kind of a lot for the kids. Yeah. Well, actually, once he had the, actually once he had the, I thought it was also cool. They sell them like in the lobby. They handed up, yeah, and they, they, they looked like big truck tires. It was kind of cool. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:36:23 It looked like a, like a, and there were like a monster truck thing. Once he put those on, he was, he was fine. It was, it was crazy, crazy loud. Like he was, he didn't, he was fucking scared, man. It was like, you know, and all these like people like, it was just, it was very intense. It was very intense. One thing you don't see as much anymore is, is just straight on gratuitous sex scenes. You don't see that as often where they'll just take a break and this was just fully
Starting point is 00:36:53 accepted and, and beloved, especially by, you know, 12, 13 year old boys who didn't have access to the internet, um, and there would just be a movie, action movie or whatever. And then three quarters of the way through it, it would just stop. And then you would just watch two people fuck in like a very sensual way. There was nothing to do with the story and it didn't matter. And then they would, then, then they would just move on with the movie. And you don't see that as often and I'll thank. I feel like it's moved to HBO like series, like a lot of, you know, banging and HBO
Starting point is 00:37:28 show, sure. But like if you're talking about a show like Euphoria or shows that like revolve specifically around that, that being a part of the show as opposed to just ran, just a random scene of, well, now we're going to stop everything down to make love. And then we're going to, we're going to pick the story. Yeah. It seemed more out of the story. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:51 That definitely seems like the, the product of, of men running, running Hollywood. Like that, that's, that is definitely a byproduct of that. I'd like, I mean, maybe I'm wrong, I don't know, but I'm, I'm, I'm glad that even when I was at a young and, you know, a more impressionable age, I found those scenes uncomfortable. I was like, I don't know. I don't know. I love, I loved it. It was like, that was an opportunity because we didn't, well, we didn't have access to
Starting point is 00:38:19 pornography. So it was like, that was the closest thing you could ever see to like a woman's body in, and I don't know. And then, and then they would, I'm thinking of like Top Gun, remember Top Gun. In fact, I think we did a parody of it on Sunny, where it was just like this movie about like, yeah, yeah, with your wife, with my wife, fighter jets. Yeah. That's the thing.
Starting point is 00:38:40 See, that's the difference between old Hollywood and new Hollywood. We do a love scene like that. And we have Dennis in it and we cast your wife because we felt like that would be the most appropriate way to do it, as opposed to just bringing in an act, an actor that you would then have this wildly, wildly needless, needless sex scene. But then also that you... Yeah, but are we better off as a society or, or like, you know, are we not getting that out of us?
Starting point is 00:39:04 Are we just fast and furious now? And would we have been fast, furious and punky? But now we're just... But wait, just fast and furious? I don't see those movies. Do they have, do they have sex? They gotta have sex scenes in them, right? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:39:18 No. The monsticism is handled by the fastness and the furiousness of the muscular men that are performing the tasks that are needed of them. You know what I mean? Like, it's all, it's all very sexual, by the way. It's just not in the way that it used to be. Yeah. What was the, what was the first movie you guys saw?
Starting point is 00:39:37 What was the first movie... I can remember the very first pair of breasts that I had ever seen. And it was in a movie. Oh, boy. That's a good question, right? No. What were the first... Well, that might have been mine, too.
Starting point is 00:39:51 No, but that was around the same time. That might have been one of my first, either that or lethal weapon, the first lethal weapon. One of those. Yeah. One of those. I, Megan, I think mine might be the same as yours. I think, although weirdly, I think I saw Airplane 2 before I saw Airplane 1. I don't know how that happened, but Airplane 2 is also really, really funny.
Starting point is 00:40:17 And they do the same gratuitous, like, you know, women walking through the metal detector with, you know, completely nude. And then, like, you know, some dude comes through, like, some dude comes through, like, just armed to the teeth with, like, machine guns and shit. And he puts them through the thing. They let him through, and then they grab some, some innocent old lady and throw her up against the wall and start frisking her. Like, police at police.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Well, at least that's part of a gag or a joke. Police academy. Police academy. It's not, the joke is, the cop, who's a person of authority, doesn't he, like, pour something on the women's backs who are sunbathing, and then they just get up and expose themselves? Like, I mean, again, we parody that whole kind of, like, ski movies slash, yeah, romp. Yeah, probably. Porkies.
Starting point is 00:41:03 The first movie I ever saw. Revenge of the Nerds. Yeah. Revenge of the Nerds. Revenge of the Nerds was full nudity. Sure. Full nudity. Right.
Starting point is 00:41:12 And, right? Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. Just a little bit. Non-consensual sex. Did you ever see the movie Just One of the Guys? That was the first time I had this. Oh, yeah, yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:41:21 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a young woman. Yeah, she tries to pass as a guy, right? And then her best friend, she's falling in love with her best friend who thinks that he, this is his bud. And then slowly but surely, she then tells him, I'm a woman. And he says, no, you're not, that's impossible. And then to prove it, she rips off her shirt.
Starting point is 00:41:44 And my mind exploded. Yeah. She unwraps. Doesn't she unwrap? Didn't she have a wrap? She did. But for the moment of exposure, she just had her shirt on and just like ripped it open. And I, oh, Jesus, like Hulk Hogan.
Starting point is 00:42:00 And I was watching it with Bob Bateman and we were like, rewind, rewind, pause, pause, pause. That was the thing, right? You had to pause it. You had to pause it. And sometimes the scan lines, you know, would be there like covering up and you're like, damn it. You press play, pause it again, try to get those scan lines away from the boobies.
Starting point is 00:42:17 Oh, guys, we got, we got to end this because I've got stuff to do. I've guys, I've got a plan for today. It's 1130. What I'm going to do is I've got a plan to watch, to watch two movies today. My plan is to watch a Charlie, your movie, your Amazon movie. And then I'm going to go watch Jill's documentary. That's the plan for the day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:43 We're going to go do that. Oh, you sweet, sweet man. That's going to be enjoyable. That's, that's, that is going to be enjoyable. Those are there. They're both. I'll be, I'll let you know. I'll let you know.
Starting point is 00:42:53 There's no boobies. Yeah. And boobies in any of them? I take my, I take my shirt off. So you can see, you see my soft body. But there's no, there's no, there's no boobies. All right. So, you know, yours are boobies.
Starting point is 00:43:05 So, you can see, you see my soft body.
