Wait.
No.
Welcome to the Roundtable of Gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to the Roundtable of Gentlemen.
With us as always, Kevin Barnett, Older McNeely, Ed Larson, Cupcake, and I'm Ben Kissel.
What's up, everybody?
Not much.
One day you'll get that opening.
Yeah, man.
Well, no.
One day you'll really stick.
Actually, I don't think you will.
What are you talking about?
I got the opening for the third one.
We're going to cut out those first two, right, Cupcake?
We didn't last time.
I don't think we should this time.
What do you mean?
You should hear what you're doing wrong and then correct it.
Watch the game film, buddy.
Are you insane?
That's absolutely...
Is he staying?
No, it's staying.
You're a fuck-up.
And that's what we're going to showcase.
That's why we put you in the house.
I'm Ed Larson, ladies and gentlemen.
I am Ed Larson.
Nice to have you here with us, Ben Kissel.
God, Ben Kissel's so funny.
I'm coming straight from the horse's mouth.
Big news.
That Fritzl character is no longer the only psychopath who locks up his own children in the basement.
There's another fella in.
Where is that cupcake?
That would be in Brazil.
Brazil's got a Fritzl.
Now, who is Fritzl, Ben?
Fritzl's that fella.
Fritzl's that fella over there
in Sweden, locked up his daughters.
What do you have? Austria.
How many daughters did he have? Three or four?
About three. Three or four, and he kept them all
in the basement, and he would have sex with them, and he had one...
Make pretzels out of them. Uh, seven.
Fritzl pretzels! Best pretzels around!
You'll never taste it crispy or body.
Those pretzels were delicious. I was so upset when I heard the news.
They didn't have... No salt. No. Those pretzels were delicious. I was so upset when I heard the news. They didn't have no salt.
No salt at all.
Just naturally delicious.
They were in the shape of a heart.
They were in the shape of a heart like a normal pretzel.
They were in the shape of a cross, which was interesting.
Yeah, and they were actually completely natural.
They grew from the ground.
I like cross pretzels.
Yeah.
They're the best pretzels money can buy.
So what's the story with this fellow over there in Brazil?
The story is that he was in a remote fishing village in Brazil.
Always the remote fishing villages, isn't it?
Yeah.
No one's checking up on him.
Yeah.
That's where Jason Voorhees is from as well.
Oh, yeah.
Cam Crystal Lake.
A lot of people fish there.
Piranhas.
He imprisoned his daughter for 12 years, raped her repeatedly, and had seven
children with her. Do you still call her
your daughter at that point?
Yeah. She's implicated.
I think that you do.
She is implicated. And how the kids do.
So I guess they're not
grandchildren. He's the father
and the grandfather. He wears many hats,
this young fella. He's a real
go-getter.
He's 54. 54, seven
kids with his daughter.
True family man.
George Foreman.
He is. I actually think
this is less offensive than naming all your kids
George when your name is George.
Not if you name them all Fritzl.
Fritzl 1, Fritzl 2, Fritzl 3.
Fritzl 4 was very successful.
Fritzl 5 never got out.
Yeah, no, no, no.
That sounds like a delicious Polish food, Fritzl.
Yeah.
How old are the kids?
It was seven kids?
So he had the first girl when he was, what, 44?
An established young man?
I guess, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It had been for 12 years, so.
Yeah, I guess it was about 44. 44, had the daughter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It had been for 12 years. Yeah, I guess it was about 44.
44, had the daughter.
Did he just run out of ladies to have sex with?
How did he get custody of the daughter?
It doesn't really say.
How bad is the woman that birthed that girl if they gave it to that psychopath?
She's probably dead.
The real question here is how fine is this daughter?
Do you have any pics? dead. The real question here is how fine is this daughter? A lot of
fucking, there's a lot of bad bitches in Brazil.
That's from what I know.
I haven't been there, but I mean it. It's like a trip.
They're from
two months to
12 years.
So she had a baby
at 12? Yes.
Holy Jesus.
It started off...
Actually, no, no, no.
She's 28 now.
Right, but the other baby's 12.
Okay, so she had it at 16.
Well, that must have been a terrible four years.
The mother died, and she had to move in with the father,
and the father went mad with grief at his wife's death.
And because she looked so much like her mother...
Boom! And he was just like, all right, look... You should write for SVU. with grief at his wife's death. And because she looked so much like her mother, boom!
And he was just like, alright, look.
You should write for SVU.
I fucking love that show.
Yeah, I think he made the decision like, look, I'm just gonna pull my pants down, have a boner, run around
the house with you in it, and just see
what happens.
Over the course of time. That is gonna be a
haunted, haunted dungeon
of a home though.
I will say that.
That sounds absolutely disturbing.
We could do it
in my boiler room.
There you go.
Let's not keep
captive children
in the boiler room,
Cupcake.
That sounds like
a terrible idea.
Why else would you
have a boiler room,
Ben?
We're heating the home.
What are we supposed
to not do in there?
Oh, not murder.
Not enjoy captivity.
We've got to put
people in there. I don't know what you're thinking.
You can dig in that room.
Yeah, you can. You can beat off in that
room all the time. You can beat off in any room.
That's great. Yeah, I mean, I, you know, but yeah, but that's a good
sanctity. No one's going to the boiler room.
I gotta get a boiler room.
I don't jerk enough, so I'm gonna
come over here.
Frequently.
Check off in the boiler room?
Our house is always open to you, Kevin.
We're going to have to get some kind of time chart out front of the boiler room we can sign off on.
We all can look at.
Exactly.
They only work for five minutes at a time.
My computer's too slow, and I always got to go somewhere.
I don't have time to just...
Just got to hop into the boiler room Lawrence is just
in the other room
playing with toys
and the strange thing is
like it's like a fan
for Lawrence
the dude jacking off
in the room next door
just makes him go to sleep
in a heartbeat
so
that's Mike Lawrence
a fantastic comedian
for everyone who doesn't know
Mike Lawrence is
my roommate
except he lives
in the cellar below my house,
underground. Nicest place he's ever lived.
It's actually amazing.
He lives on the other side of the
curtain. Seriously.
This does have a strange
ghost-like aura, and I think
hauntings, they're on the rise.
Hauntings are on the rise.
Holden has an unbelievable
ghost story. So I'm talking to my neighbor
And good friend Natalie
From college
And her poltergeist situation has gotten out of hand
Now we're talking about
Serious ghostly mind fuck shit bro
It's like the kind of shit
That's like you don't wanna
If you hear
If it goes through the speakers
It could infect another house Are we gonna do this i mean is it a nice ghost a mean ghost i mean i think i think
it's heaven bacon was a ghost one of the sweetest ghosts of all time or was it bacon that was
well now he is a ghost hey there we go it's amazing how life imitates our another ghost now
ghost to the ghost of Swayze.
Using old footage of him that they've reworked to fit into a movie.
Oh, my God, it would be such a great movie.
It would be like New Nightmare, you know?
But good, yeah.
I would love to see Swayze come back and just haunt, just go absolutely insane on everybody.
Oh, man.
Just constantly putting people in the corner.
Country terrified by mass Swayze sightings.
Oh man, he just kills
Ashton Kutcher.
That's the thing. Ghosts,
if you can hear this, I know we're in your native
land. Please kill Ashton Kutcher.
That would be amazing.
I can't watch any more of those stupid fucking
camera commercials he's making.
What happened with Natalie?
She's been having weird stuff going on.
Starting with the burners
will be turned on
when she gets home.
Or wakes up in the morning,
which is like fucking
gas your brain down,
you're gonna die.
Is it electric or a flame stove?
Gas.
Gas.
It's a gas stove.
Carbon monoxide.
God, it took me a little while to figure that out.
Yeah, I know, right?
Like, how long has this been going on at a house?
Like, I mean, pretty much, I think since she moved in.
I mean, since I've met her, she's had, like, I've, yeah,
since I've, like, re-met up with her up in the city,
this shit's been going on.
Her clothes hung up and found when she'll, like,
come into the next, in the next day.
She'll have her clothes all hung up, going out for the night,
swinging on some Miller Lights, having a good time.
Wet in the middle of the floor.
Just sopping wet in the middle of the floor.
Jesus.
Yeah.
I wonder how this ghost died.
There has to be something with water involved.
Water and fire.
Because we're talking about gas.
She thought there was a drowning, but I was like, but the burners.
Right, that's the thing.
That's the superpower you get when you die is the thing that killed you.
I'm thinking.
You get to conquer it and control it.
Oh, I hope I don't die by like a bus.
Then I just have to be an MTA guy or something like that.
That would be terrifying.
Here's what I'm thinking.
Fucking with traffic routes and shit.
Here's what I think.
Water, fire.
There was a grease fire in the kitchen.
He threw water on the grease fire,
flew on her,
she burned alive.
That's very possible.
Smart man.
I wouldn't be able to think that by myself with my puny brain.
You did it.
I feel like I would love to be haunted, though.
It would be really great.
I can't deal with it. It would be really great.
I can't deal with it.
No, not at all.
No, they can't really hurt you.
Yes, they can.
No, no.
The flame, man.
It can make flame happen.
It can make flame appear.
That's when it's fucked up.
That's when you're implicated, bro.
That's when the ghost hunts you.
Scorpion was a ghost in Mortal Kombat.
Yeah, man.
And you saw when he fucking pulled off his mask. And he threw the spike at dude's chest and bring him in to him.
Throats.
Throat of the throats.
Yeah.
It's not like some Disney Channel movie where if you don't believe it, it won't hurt you.
This is real life.
I believe it.
I think that most ghosts are probably good, though.
I think most people are good for the most part.
People try to be good i bet you uh for all the ghosts are out there let's say how many people have died over
history maybe like 500 billion people it's like shark attacks you know probably as many ghost
murders as shark attacks i'm going yeah i'd agree with that i think that's a fair estimate we didn't
even have to google it and we came up with it i think this is what this is why it's legit
one more ghost story that happened recently yes so she showed me the pictures of this shit a fair estimate. We didn't even have to Google it when we came up with it. I think this is why it's legit.
Do you have one more ghost story that happened recently?
Yeah, so she showed me the pictures of this shit.
A cabinet, she got some Nutella out of a cabinet, took a spoonful
of it. A fantastic German cuisine
dish. A single spoonful of this
Nutella, alright?
Put the Nutella back into the cabinet, was
walking to the living room. She said to her roommate out loud,
God damn you for bringing Nutella into this house.
And then she heard a boom.
She ran back in.
Big boom.
All right.
She ran back in.
The cabinet was on the other side of the floor and flipped upside down.
It had flown off of the wall, turned upside down.
Not on its side, mind you.
Like, perfectly upside down on the floor.
And she showed me the pictures.
And it was fucking terrifying.
So we were bringing a Ouija board into that place, man.
That sounds like the worst idea. Yeah, we're
bringing out the spirit. Yeah, you were going to.
I love that. Ghosts are so strong, you know,
they can just tear things off the wall, but I
mean, I feel like if you have that kind of strength, wouldn't you
just fuck with things all the time? Just
constantly be breaking windows, you know?
They're tortured souls.
I bet they can use their
I bet they can only use their power sparingly.
They only have so much, like Spawn.
I used to collect Spawn.
Is this recorded?
It was fourth grade, people.
Give me a break.
I do.
Just Spawn's nuts.
Just his balls.
No, man. We're also talking poltergeist
here and feminine energy and shit.
It's two girls who live in this place.
Feminine energy. You think that brings on more poltergeist?
I had, yes. Speaking of
feminine energy, we have a
quasi-ghost expert in the
house tonight to help us solve
this conundrum. We have
Jackie Zabrowski. Jackie Z. Hey guys.
Real or fake, is this girl lying to Holden? No, she's not fucking lying, man. I completely
believe in this shit. Mind you, she also believes that the moon landing didn't happen. Don't
discredit our fucking special guest, Holden. We're trying to look professional here, man.
Absolutely. So Ghost Whisperer, Jackie Sabrowski, knows everything.
Not that it's not professional to think that we didn't land on the moon.
We're not talking about that.
We're not opening up that can of worms tonight, Sabrowski.
All right?
It's fine.
Jackie uses Google.
No one ever wants to talk about the fake moon landing.
Yeah, well, I know.
Always.
I always want to fucking talk about it.
Yeah, because it's real, man. It happened. All right. Well, to a certain extent. I always want to fucking talk about it. Yeah, because it's real, man.
It happened.
All right.
Well, to a certain extent.
So, what do you think?
How many...
Ten being this is certainly a haunting,
one being this is a woman going crazy on her own volition.
What do you think here?
I'm going to go ahead and say it's a fucking nine here, bro.
Wow.
Yeah, I think it's a nine.
Not a ten, but definitely a nine.
I totally believe in the Ouija board. When I was in, I think it was my freshman year of high 10, but definitely a 9. I totally believe in the Ouija board.
When I was in, I think it was my freshman year of high school,
we used a Ouija board.
We had it.
It was named Deb Deb.
We ended up burning it after the summer.
Three months of just straight using it.
And I swear to God, it would turn up the stations on the radio,
and it would skip songs on the DVD, on our CD player.
Sounds like you just had a big remote.
Or shitty electronics.
Well, it very well may have
been that, but it was
insanely creepy.
Did it skip certain songs?
It just skipped songs. No, just randomly.
You would speak to it
and then something would happen. Cats.
The cats would always go crazy. Cats see ghosts.
Everybody knows that. Her cat has
been getting sick.
Really?
Yeah, and for some reason Her cat has been getting sick. Oh, really? Uh-oh.
They're in glue.
Yeah, yeah.
And for some reason, the cat keeps getting let out.
That's another one of the things.
The cat keeps getting let out into the back, like, and the door has a lock on it and stuff.
No, it's female energy, guys.
Yeah, right?
It's the spirits from the earth, man.
It's Mother Nature.
That's why women control powers, you know?
That's why.
Because you want to perform, like, a seance in this place, right? Yeah. This is what you were talking about. I mean, when you do a seance. I am down for a seance. She's why women control powers, you know? That's why. Because you want to perform like a seance in this place,
right? That's what you were talking about.
I am down for it.
She's got it.
You're all idiots.
You're not seeing the obvious
truth that's in the room right now.
What? You're all going to get murdered by a ghost?
You're going to watch someone catch on fire
for no fucking reason?
I'm going to go, and I'm going to cover myself in lighter fluid. I'm going to set someone catch on fire for no fucking reason? I'm going to go and I'm going to
cover myself in lighter fluid.
I'm going to set myself ablaze halfway
through. Sacrifice myself
simply for
the ghost story to continue on.
You're going to get caught.
You're going to ruin it.
Someone's going to find the lighter on you.
No!
This idiot!
Give me the article.
I'm going to survive,
and it's just going to be terrible.
Nobody believe me.
I'll have like a redneck's lips,
you know,
white rednecks that have no lips.
Let me just say that.
So, all right,
so Jack,
your mother has books
about seances and cleansing like dark spirits and shit. Oh, yes, definitely Jack, your mother has books about seances and cleansing, like, dark spirits
and shit. Oh, yes, definitely. I think that
it's something that, I think it's definitely something
that a woman has to
do, though, especially in this kind of situation.
I've never heard this, I don't know where you get this woman theory.
Every time I've seen a seance or any sort of...
It's Mother Nature, man! The moon!
The periods are connected
to the moon, bro! Have you never heard of the
brujera?
I don't even know what that is.
Mexican witches.
They're badass.
Hell yeah.
You have to use it for good, though, man.
My mom white lights everything.
She believes in the white power of the universe, and she white lights things, and it always turns out okay.
I think we should put a gender on fucking Mother Earth.
Why is it Mother Earth?
It's Earth.
There is no, it is not a vagina.
I gotta tell you, It's fine.
It just doesn't make any sense
for the argument.
Ever since your mom
white-lighted me,
things have been going
just fucking fantastic.
Great.
Cupcake, how did I white-light you?
For example, today,
I found out that I don't have
to go into the office
at all anymore.
That's wonderful.
Cupcake, can you explain to me
what a white-light is?
Yeah, what is, like,
what's...
Jackie?
Basically, it's when my mother has incantations, basically, that she says that...
Sounds like a Mexican fruit.
Yeah, right?
Incantation, yeah, absolutely.
Tasty, though.
Juicy.
A lot of seeds in them, though.
Very sweet.
Nah, man, it's just fucking positive energy, bro.
You just gotta fucking shoot out positive energy at someone.
You gotta fucking think about it.
You gotta think about the person.
And when someone good comes into your life, you gotta fucking white light them. you gotta think about the person, and when someone good comes into your life,
you gotta fucking
white light them
because they're good
and they're only
fucking good, bro.
Yeah!
So, kind of like
what Guru did
for Piccolo
in Dragon Ball Z.
Yeah, yeah, right?
And all the power
got unlocked,
and, you know,
but it can only do it
if you're pure of heart.
Yeah, but it beats
Well, maybe my mother's
fucking pure of heart.
You ever fucking
think of that?
No, that's what I'm saying.
I don't doubt that for a second.
I appreciate that.
Tony Robbins
hubble-oo'd me, this whole white light business.
Well, I'm telling you, we're going to unlock some kind of beast
and we're going to wrestle with it, and I can't goddamn wait.
Natalie's definitely filled
with feminine energy. Yeah, dude.
No, those two ladies, man,
I think there's something going on there. We've got to figure this thing out. Friends from Tallahassee. Yeah, yeah. No, those two ladies, man. I think there's something going on there.
We've got to figure this thing out.
Friends from Tallahassee.
Yeah, yeah.
Friends from Tallahassee.
I went to a Unitarian church.
I had a Wiccan Sunday school teacher one semester.
So crazy.
And she talked about how she lived in a house
with a bunch of fellow witches, right?
And they had this one chick stay in.
By witches, they mean McDonald's employees.
In other words, that's their day job.
Which was, yeah, which is how they practiced on the fries and the burgers,
you know, to make them taste better.
But they, yeah.
Sesame seed.
Yeah, they created, the Wiccan culture created the sesame seed bun.
I don't know if you knew that.
It was a small fact.
Little known fact.
Wow.
Rappable gentleman.
But she said they let one particular Wiccan stay with them that practiced black magic.
And their one rule was like...
Why gotta be black magic?
Yeah, no, their one rule to St. Al's was like, you can't practice black...
All right.
Why gotta be black magic?
It's my fucking story.
The white power, now it's black magic?
Unbelievable.
You doing it?
It's like you started to write out the dictionary in its entirety?
Oh, yeah.
But, no, but, yeah, and she let a poltergeist loose in its entirety. Oh, yeah. But, uh, no, but, uh,
yeah, and she let a poltergeist loose
in the house, and she described very similar
things. Dishes flying across the, uh,
against the wall and stuff like that.
Some reason the kitchen, too, which is kind of
funny, is like the whole woman thing.
But stay in the kitchen, ladies!
Maybe that's the thing.
Maybe
the power lies within her. That's the thing. Maybe the power lies within her.
That's the thing.
That's what I'm saying.
This ghost is in love with her.
She said she hated the Nutella,
and then the ghost took the cabinet that had the Nutella in it
and fucking threw it across the whole cabinet.
Good point, Eddie.
I need to explain this, but the thing is,
she's getting all the attention.
Her roommate, it's like nothing's happening.
It's in love with her.
It doesn't hate her.
It's in love with her. Dad, I gotta talk to It doesn't hate her. It's in love with her.
Dad, I gotta talk to her about this.
This is fascinating.
That'll freak her the fuck out.
It's great, though, but it'd be like a Ghostbusters thing where you wake up and you're getting
done down by a...
I don't know nothing.
I don't know anything.
Just Ed in the room dressed like a ghost.
If I was a ghost, I'd tell you.
It was a ghost, I'd tell you. It was a ghost.
Come on.
Every gal would just get those butts
nibbled on every single evening.
A little carp going after bread on a stick.
If I was a ghost,
I'm not opening it.
I'm just saying if I was a ghost,
ladies would be very happy.
They would love it very, very much.
I always thought it would be
hilarious if there was a ghost bordello called
Supernatural Delight.
I'd go there.
I mean, when you're a ghost, do you keep
the, like, I mean, obviously
in the movies and stuff, if you burn in a fire,
you're like a burned up ghost. But do you think in real life,
like, you know, when they go, obviously these things
exist in real life, is it like a burned
up ghost? Or is it like, do you go back they go, obviously these things exist in real life. Is it like a burned up ghost?
Or is it like, do you go back to your normal form?
Are you just the perception of yourself when you die?
And then when you're a ghost, it's like, oh, I wanted to be beautiful. So now I'm going to be a beautiful ghost.
Or you die looking the most horrific you've ever looked, which is the moment of your death.
That would be the Beetlejuice scenario.
Is that what happens?
Oh, yeah.
See, the ghost that I always see is in full medieval armor.
That's just me.
I'm sorry.
I get really drunk.
I black out with the sword and everything.
I've got to stop getting dressed up.
Whenever I think about myself as a ghost, I always imagine myself wearing a really nice, well-fitted suit.
Oh, yeah.
Dapper ghost.
Dapper ghost.
The gentleman ghost. I imagine when you're a ghost, you're going to be on a Texas farm, and the cows are going
to be seeming like getting impregnated all over town.
They'll be like, I don't know why all of our cows are pregnant.
Nine months later, they're going to birth out nothing.
And it'll just be the ghost of Marcus Cow.
See, I think I'd prefer to be the most horrifying of all ghosts, the little girl.
Hey, hi. You know, you just got like blood leaking out of your throat and shit. Fucking freakiest in the world. be the most horrifying of all ghosts the little girl hey hi
you know
you just got like
blood leaking out of
your throat and shit
fucking freaky
shit in the world
wanna play with me
we skip around
yeah I did
The Shining was the
last and only
horror movie ever
to make children
horrified
every other horror movie
since then
I'm like alright
I get it
they're kids
I don't know
what about that
kid in Pet Sematary
that cuts his dad's Achilles tendon
with a scap?
That's a kid from Kindergarten Cop.
Yeah! Really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a tumor.
I had to do it.
It's a tumor.
Kids are scary. Children of the Corps.
You're such a fucking little brother.
I know, but those kids are still alive, aren't they?
Well, I guess, yeah, not really, but sort of.
Children of the court's badass.
It is badass.
I'm saying, like, you know, like, I'm saying, like, horror movies nowadays are always just
flashing dead kids everywhere.
Is that supposed to be the big scare?
Oh, yeah.
It's like, you know.
I'm numb to that now.
Yeah, I don't even care.
It's like a child ghost.
Fuck you, child ghost.
Check this out.
Speaking of dead children.
Uh-oh.
Yeah.
Melissa Huckabee got life
killing an
eight-year-old.
A California teacher, right?
Sunday school teacher.
Sunday school teacher.
Was it a Unitarian Sunday
school teacher? Was she a Wiccan?
Was she Wiccan? Was she gay?
A gay Sunday school teacher, worked at McDonald'siccan? Was she Wiccan? Was she gay? A gay Sunday school
Wiccan teacher? Worked at McDonald's?
No, no, no. Her only
statement was
she did not suffer
and I did not sexually molest
her. Oh, good.
She suffered when you fucking killed her.
That's a huge suffering.
Good God!
Found the body in a suitcase.
Irrigation.
What's the thing about, you know...
I'm packing light!
Why are you bringing that up?
There's something I'm going to say to somebody if you're holding a suitcase with a dead girl in it.
I mean, do ghosts...
I guess ghosts only exist if you die horrifically in life?
That's the overall trend, I assume, right?
What, for ghosts, they're restless spirits.
Yeah, that's the theory.
Yeah, I guess they're restless.
I mean, this guy who's haunting Natalie seems to be insanely, not, not restless.
That's why you finally say it's a guy, because it's always been referred to as she, for some reason.
I don't know why.
And that's why she's so mad.
Yeah, yeah.
An angry lesbian ghost
who used to be a Wiccan Sunday school teacher
who worked at McDonald's here?
Oh, I think we're onto something here.
I think...
It's very possible.
Do you think she'll like milkshakes?
I'll get her one.
Yeah, that's the thing.
They should have eight milkshakes
for the seance.
And if any one of those milkshakes
just begins to, like, drink itself,
you know it's her.
Hell yeah.
Oh, that would be incredible.
The milkshake ghost.
That's what I want to do. Fuck eating chicks' ass, that would be incredible. The milkshake ghost. That's what I want to do.
Fuck eating chicks' asses.
I want to be the milkshake ghost.
Now, but we'll have...
I applaud that, Ben.
Yeah.
I do.
That would be an absolute blast.
If I was a ghost, I would just hate on, like, stuck-up girls who was all fine and shit.
Like, bitch, you smell like shit.
Whisper that once a night to the girl like right when she's going
to bed
just take it down
your hair looks
terrible
your style choice
is disgusting
I think you'd be
the demon haunting
snooki
just hate
and I'd be
a restless spirit
because I didn't
hate enough
in my lifetime
I'll just come back
and just hate
so much frantic energy
you got nowhere
else to use it it's like I think I'm being haunted but I just don't much frantic energy you got nowhere else to use it
it's like I think I'm being haunted
but I just don't even know
I just feel bad about myself in the morning
I'll update everything
I'm a stupid bitch
maybe that's where all
female low self esteem
just is a product of
past Barnett's haunting
you're not good enough, you're never going to be anybody.
Your tits ain't big enough.
I love your tits, ladies.
Good work, Ben.
They all like it.
Oh, man.
They all dig it.
Oh, Christ.
Oh.
Tits.
All right.
Yeah, what's going on with those?
Oh, yeah.
Did you guys hear about the porn star who killed himself?
Mr. Barack Obama on the penis screen.
He was in Nailing Palin.
No, he wasn't in Nailing Palin.
He was in Erection 2008.
Killed a bunch of people with a samurai sword.
Well, he killed one, injured two.
He killed one, injured two.
They asked him.
He was 30 years old. They said, I don't know what was going
on with his pain. Apparently he couldn't get it up anymore
or perhaps his seven
and a half inch. He was blown out on fucking
cocaine and these porn people keep buying
up the swords.
Go to one porn producer's
house. Tell me there ain't seven swords
in it.
This is waiting to happen.
This is about any day now.
That's completely true. Board producers
love swords. You'll never explain it.
It really is.
It's completely irresponsible. But he didn't kill himself.
I mean, the cops, he was
on the run for two days and he was
on a cliff in California. He was on a California
cliff and the cops thought this
would be a good time to tase him.
So the cops tased him.
Right on the edge of the cliff.
This is a totally true story.
And it was after eight hours.
So eventually the cops just went,
fuck it.
And he fell off the cliff.
Well, the funny thing is, how lazy is the dude
that they sent in to talk people down from the cliff?
Like, it was probably, like, literally happened at 5.01.
The guy clocked in at 9 in the morning.
He was like, I'll go talk to the guy.
5 p.m. rolled around.
He's like, I'm out.
I'm done.
I'm done talking to the guy.
You guys do whatever you want to do.
I got a wife and kids and shit.
Fucking coked out swordsman.
Knock him off the cliff.
And he was also living at the studio offices.
Oh, so he knew
where all the swords
were
he definitely had
inside access
he would be a
strange kind of ghost
just a big boner ghost
running all around
just doing terrible
terrible things
oh but he lives
on the mountain side
man
that's the thing
when you're a ghost
can you get to
move away from
where you were
murdered or do you
have to stay
I just hope I don't
die driving through
Poughkeepsie
if I have to live on a fucking side of the road in Poughkeepsie. If I have to live on a fucking
side of the road in Poughkeepsie my entire existence
I'll be very upset. There's this one
story in North Carolina that's reoccurring
of the blue man jogger.
He's just like a blue guy that
just can be seen jogging at
like three in the morning. And ghosts become
blue shadowy forms. It's like an apparition though. Yeah, blue
shadowy forms. Yeah, man. I'll tell you one thing
I had a friend. Why blue?
I don't know.
That's good.
They're sad, that's why.
I mean, yeah, I hope that they're not sad.
I want to see a red ghost someday.
I would just love to see a red ghost. Oh, no, no, no.
You don't want to see no red ghosts.
Oh, yeah, buddy.
I want the fucking horse.
Bad signs.
Nothing good comes from a red ghost.
Goat hooves.
Flames out of the eyeballs.
Either way, though.
I mean, I'm an interesting bird, though, in that sense.
I mean, I just want to see the most devilish ghost I can find.
Try to play some poker with him.
I had a friend, Pete, who used to be a good friend of mine, and he became a totally evangelical Christian after he saw a ghost.
It was over Lake Iverson in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, where I'm from.
And he just saw a ghost, like, hovering, and he immediately became a born again Christian which I thought was bizarre because in my opinion
that completely defuncts
all religion.
Yeah they don't talk
about ghosts too much
in the Bible.
They never talk about
ghosts.
I guess Jesus was a
ghost there.
Yeah Jesus was a ghost.
Well I mean the third
day I suppose.
Yeah I guess he was a
ghost.
Maybe they were just
tripping off those
vulture brains people
are smoking in South
Africa during the
World Cup.
The vulture brains.
You never know what
those people were on.
These fuckers at the World Cup in Oh, look, the vulture braids. You never know what those people were on. Oh, my God, the vulture braids. These fuckers at the World Cup in South Africa.
Where are they?
South Africa.
They're in South Africa?
Yeah.
Which is a great, great venue.
Really smart planning on that one.
Very smart planning.
There was a riot on the first day.
Like, eight people died.
Did you hear about that?
It's brilliant.
That happens every time there's a World Cup.
That happened in Atlanta.
Yeah.
I know that was the Olympics.
But yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, it was just a Falcons game. That was a bomb that Yeah. I know that was the Olympics. But yeah. It was just a Falcons game.
That was a bomb that went off.
Yeah.
So anyways,
there's a South African
tradition where they kill a vulture,
open its head up,
dry the brains,
crush them, and smoke them
like a cigarette. God, I just love that so much.
And they believe that it gives them visions of the future.
I'm sure that it does.
I'm sure it does, yeah.
I'm sure it does.
I mean, you know, it's like, I mean, that's the thing.
Like, when all these biblical things were getting written,
like, how fucked up were people?
Like, you know, the Salem witch trials, they figured it out.
The reason that people were, like, going crazy and, like, being witches
and everyone was, like, nuts because there was a wheat germ that was just, like,
you know, it was like a...
It was in the bread, right?
Yeah, it was in the bread.
It was pretty much acid.
It was pretty much acid mushrooms.
So people would just trip their balls off and there was just no rational explanation
except for that they were witches at that point.
So you wonder when they were like...
Yeah, but don't you just wish for simpler times when someone could just be a witch and
we'd just burn them?
You know?
I mean, nowadays it's like, oh, maybe they're alright, they're good people,
you know, but they're not.
It's not a good idea, Ed. It's not a good idea.
You're afraid of ghosts, but
you'll burn a witch?
Well, no, I'd do it with a mob of people.
Oh, you're just fine then.
She's not counting heads.
I mean, this is a human
being, man. He's a human being. He's not a
fucking savage.
So happy to be how much you wish
You were a part of a mob
With torches
Oh man
I want to be the loud mouth
In front of a ridiculous mob
At least once in my life
Kill the witch
And she's like
Dad I'm your daughter
Kill her
Kill her
That would be terrifying
That's a bonding experience
yeah exactly
I mean one person dies
but everybody else
like gets closer
you know
like in a lot of beautiful ways
it's beautiful
bring it together
it's like a
it's like a dolphin's game
what's the best way
to kill a witch you think
gun
well I think the worst way
was the Salem witch trials
where they said
well if she drowns
she's not a witch
but if she doesn't drown
she is one
and then we're gonna
kill her anyway
the worst one was the pressing,
where they put the rock on the guy's chest.
Oh, yeah.
And he just died over a matter of a few days.
Oh, God.
Why was it, like, our first inventions of human,
and still, like, still, like, all of our inventions
come from things that are motivated
to just murder masses amounts of people,
like nuclear energy, like all of that stuff.
Like, all of our initial advancements
In science and technology
Were simply there to murder people
It's the same thing with porn and technology
How?
The reason why VHS won out
Is because porn
Cited with VHS
And then the internet
It's how the internet
Same thing
Cable television makes almost all of their money on pay-per-view porn.
3D TV is being dominant.
Well, that's the thing.
3D TV hasn't found a niche market yet.
Porn is now siding with 3D TV.
Yeah, well, I mean, that's how they're going to pitch it,
which I don't know how they're going to get those commercials on TV.
That's going to be a hard sell.
Well, it's starting with the Japanese.
Oh, yeah.
People know about it.
I just want to walk in on the dude
who's thinking he's licking a titty,
because it's coming right out at him.
But how big is that titty going to be?
Yeah, what if it's like a horror movie?
You're like, whoa!
It comes out,
and you're just like,
that titty almost took my head off.
Sounds terrifying.
That sounds wonderful.
A 3D, I mean, how do you...
I'd be down with that.
Yeah, I guess you could use...
I like everything in 3D.
Yeah, everything's better in 3D.
I don't know, it just seems completely unnecessary, man.
Yeah, it does seem completely unnecessary.
I definitely don't want to put on glasses to jerk off.
Exactly, that's what I'm saying.
I don't know if we should create more...
Technology is just going so the way of, like,
just catering to people who never leave their apartments.
And those people are the people, when they leave their apartments, they go like that porn star and just slaughter everybody they see because they have no idea how human beings should exist with another.
And a massive samurai sword collection.
Or rape.
Or rape.
I will say, I mean, you know, they always have that argument where it's like porno actually, you know, stops rape because they just sit in their apartments their whole lives and
just jack off to whatever they wanted to see,
which is actually a pedophile argument.
My brother,
sociology master's degree wrote a,
uh,
his entire thesis,
which was kind of fascinating on a,
how a child pornography might actually benefit society because then it will
keep a child,
uh,
you know,
predators off the streets and they'll be satisfied with,
with what they have at home.
Yeah. You know, which someone's got to be acting in those movies though. So that's the thing. Yeah. keep child predators off the streets and they'll be satisfied with what they have at home.
Someone's got to be acting in those movies, though.
Yeah, that's the thing.
We've got to buy them overseas.
To bring it back to the Japanese, they consume
the most porn per capita of
any other country and have an
extremely low rape rate.
But they also have no women.
Isn't it like... No, that's China.
That's China that has no women.
Is Japan more...
Women are just as strong as the men in Japan, though.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Not much different.
Possibly stronger.
They didn't all die in that terrible war we had.
WW2.
Oh, yeah.
WW2.
We fucking won the shit out of that.
Oh, yeah.
Oh!
Yeah, man.
Finally, we got one. Corrupted with radiation and shit, dude. That's a victory. Oh, yeah. Oh! Yeah, man. Finally, we got one.
Corrupted with radiation
and shit, dude.
That's a victory.
Oh, man.
You hear about
in Hiroshima,
the shadows
that are burnt
into the walls
from the atomic
shadows of people
like this?
Yeah.
I would love to see that.
What is that?
The man who wore plaid,
right?
Steve Martin's
DVD cover?
Yeah.
It just reminds me of that. Yeah, that's insane. How do you burn a shadow into a wall? That's the man who wore plaid, right? Steve Martin's DVD cover. It just reminds me of that.
Yeah, that's insane.
How do you burn a shadow into a wall?
Forever. That's crazy, man.
It's insane.
What happens is when they're standing in front of the wall,
the bomb comes through and disintegrates their bodies,
takes those particles with the blast,
and fucking slaps it on the hardest surface it finds.
So there's souls.
Like concrete.
And it's so fast
that it captures their entire energy.
So is that where their souls are forever?
Like fucking Pinhead and Hellraiser
in the beginning of every Pinhead
he's always stuck in a statue,
stuck in a wall,
something like that
and it needs blood to get out.
It's like,
is that where they forever reside?
Just in that wall
just trying to get out?
It's like, oh, that's a terrible,
terrible, it's like window
shopping for humanity. You can just never go
to it, though. You just see everything
go by. I would never go to Hiroshima.
It's so insane.
It's like, imagine that
those people had no idea what was going on
either. They were just, you know, I'm going to go to the
grocery store today to pick up some broccoli.
They just were playing an entirely different game. They had to be you know, I'm going to go to the grocery store today to pick up some broccoli. They just were playing an entirely
different game.
They had to be getting broccoli and all these broccoli.
That's what I thought of, man.
Do you go to the grocery store to pick up broccoli from time to time?
Occasionally. I've done this, man.
Sometimes you need
some broccoli. I have woken up some days
and just been like, I need some fucking broccoli.
Broccoli and nothing else. Get that vitamin K, son.
Yeah.
Try to make sure my blood clot's right.
Oh, I have a blood clot.
Do you have a blood clot?
No.
I do.
But Ben has intense blood clots on his son.
My right leg is like a shotgun aimed right at my heart.
It could die at any second.
You got to take it out, man.
Snip, snip, bro.
My right leg?
No, you can't take out a blood clot.
I mean, you just got to try to thin your blood.
That's why I drink so much, you know?
It is what it is.
Those are...
I'm going to die.
If I just die from a blood clot,
I'll be such a...
I'll be a shitty ghost.
Yeah.
I'll be the worst.
I've got blood clots.
Blood clots.
Boring.
Everyone's like,
come on, I'm trying to sleep.
It's so boring.
I'm falling asleep.
They're sleeping better.
It's so terribly boring.
You'll be in people's houses drinking up their water and eating their multi-vitamins.
Are you going to have this cheese?
Are you going to eat this cheese?
It's like, ghost, come on.
I just want to go to sleep.
Fine, have the cheese.
We just can't keep pretzels in the house.
We have no idea what's going on.
I think it's a poltergeist.
That would be nice, though.
Just breathe on them real hard.
Make ceiling fan noises. I'll just put everybody right to bed. I know, right? Yeah, I'm just like, oh, it's a poltergeist. That would be nice, though. Just breathe on them real hard. Make ceiling fan noises.
I'll just put everybody right to bed.
I know, right?
Yeah, I'm just like, oh, it's like, yeah, getting shoulder massages.
But I always get my cigarette taken away from me for a couple of drags. Well, I'm saving lives, man.
I'm saving lives.
Yeah, you're taking it all in to yourself.
Absolutely.
I'm breathing in myself.
That's beautiful, man.
Smoke.
Babies are beautiful.
Everything's beautiful, man.
Like, go in for that ass. You put him to bed
and go eat that ass. Oh, good ghost.
Greg, God, wait.
I just read
this story where the army
misplaced hundreds of bodies
at Arlington Cemetery.
The bodies aren't what the
graves say they are. Are there bodies
in the ground, though? Yeah.
That's what I'm saying. Are there bodies in the ground though? Yeah, oh, there are bodies.
That's what I'm saying.
Is there a body there? Yeah, I think it's a wildebeest or something.
Maybe a coyote. Is it bones? Bones
are fine. I don't know why we have this
fascination. I take the, you know,
when you go on the JMZ, you go over to Queens,
you see that huge cemetery and it's just acres
and acres of lands dedicated to nothing.
Which is a brilliant business idea, by the way. You don't have to do shit. You just get paid to store dead people. You don't have to, and it's just acres and acres of lands dedicated to nothing, which is a brilliant business idea, by the way.
You don't have to do shit.
You just get paid to store dead people.
You don't have to have upkeep.
You cut the grass.
Yeah, that's it.
Trim the trees.
Trim the trees.
Cut the grass.
That's fine.
I'm saying the dead people aren't complaining about cockroaches or a drippy faucet.
But their live children are.
Those guys are assholes.
Yeah, I suppose so.
I feel like we should just get rid of all of these huge cemeteries, though, and start building something on them that actually matters.
I mean, granted, those institutions will be...
Did you learn nothing to be poltergeist?
Yeah.
That's fine.
You don't fucking bury on top of bodies.
I'm building on a body.
Oh, man.
Look at fucking Ground Zero.
We haven't been able to build there because every time they find a sign of somebody,'re like, oh, we need it. Why do you think that we haven't been
able to build a ground zero? It's
fucking ghost central.
Freedom Tower?
Those people are for America. Anyone who died
except for the 12. There'll be 12 angry
ghosts. The people who blew that
fucking place up. It's like that John Lennon movie.
Exactly. Jack Lemmon.
Jack Lemmon. Well, John Lennon. Nonetheless,
I wonder what he's like. Oh, man. Just go down and hang out by Central Park, man. Yeah, there's that tunnel. I've seen Jack Lemmon. Jack Lemmon. Well, John Lennon. Nonetheless, I wonder what he's like.
Oh, man.
I'll just go down and hang out by Central Park, man.
Yeah, there's that tunnel.
I've seen the tunnel where he got shot down and murdered.
Yeah.
By a man named Holden.
I just think we need to stop caring so much about the bones of our past ancestors. I bet he curses a lot.
John Lennon?
Oh, yeah.
He was a very pompous young man.
Get a mouth on him, man.
I don't know.
That's the problem.
We should build on ground zero.
We should build on cemeteries.
We've got to get things done here.
We've got to have progress.
I mean, you're like a total monster and all that.
No, I mean, okay, so what joy is there in like, oh, wow, that piece of rock represents my father?
I don't think so.
I think cemeteries are beautiful.
They are beautiful.
I don't like that they exist.
Whenever I was in high school, I tried to get a job as the groundskeeper for the local cemetery.
You kept on digging up all the dead or the whores and having sex with them.
I already had the job.
You know what?
I think I have the perfect medium for this.
You build on them.
You just bury the bodies on the roof.
You have the graveyard on the roof.
There you go.
That's cool.
Bing, bang, boom.
Done.
I mean, or you could just try.
I don't know what you could build.
Maybe it would be a good kindergarten or something over them.
Yeah.
You need to have the most brilliant light, the most beautiful things on the planet,
to just counteract the fact that those people died probably horrible deaths
in some sort of terrible Chevrolet accident or something like that.
Well, yeah.
Well, I'll tell you what, man.
We're Ouija boarding this thing.
We're going to have an update hopefully next week.
Absolutely.
I'm going to be there, man.
You're coming?
I'm going.
Eddie, are you going to be at the seance?
No, I'm going to have hernia surgery.
All right.
Well, Eddie's going to be a ghost after next week.
The operation went terribly wrong, and it's very, very sad to inform you.
If you're a ghost, Eddie,
you can come hang out over here. I'm not going to hang out.
Alright, ladies and gentlemen,
this has been the Roundtable of Gentlemen. Kevin Barnett,
Holden McNeely, Ed Larson, Cupcake, I'm Ben
Kissel. A good eve. Jackie Zabrowski.
