Welcome to episode 3 of the second season of Overlooked and Undercooked featuring myself,
Tim Batt, himself, Guy Montgomery and introducing the wickedly talented Carlo Ricci.
Hey, good morning, or good afternoon,
or whichever it is that you happen to be listening to this in, I suppose.
To me right now, it's a very fine afternoon.
We've just watched the third episode of Real Rob
called The Best Playdate Ever,
and you're our first returning customer, Carlo.
Is it good to be back amongst the Schneiders?
It's good.
A lot of the threads that I've been dwelling on for a while,
it's good to just see them starting to get wrapped up
and just to get a bit more of a sense of the world of Real Rock.
Lord knows how you've resisted the overwhelming urge
to continue watching this serialized program
as you watch the story unfurl over two seasons.
Avoiding the spoilers has been
the hardest part of it all there's a lot of chatter there's a lot of buzz around this yeah big time
big time uh so just for anyone listening along who for whatever reasons decided not to watch
this show along with us could you maybe outline the basic narrative or plot of episode three of
season two of real rob um Well, episode three begins,
as I imagine so many of the episodes start,
because they certainly all seem to end there,
in the household bed of the Schneiders.
They have a plan to take their daughter.
There's a name I can't think of.
Is it an M?
Miranda?
Miranda.
She's going to school.
First day at an organic school.
Yeah.
Actually, to the credit of the show,
this is one of the first times there has been any through line between episodes.
So we saw them trying to find an appropriate school for her to go to in the previous episode,
and they've set her on this very expensive...
It's called Hope.
Hope, yeah. It's good to see that it was set up you
know because it certainly had a real payoff in this season this episode uh we go to the school
at the school rob sees the guitarist for paul mccartney and that becomes quite a important
detail of this uh episode as long as well as that he has to clean out the shed
and sell some Tibetan furniture,
which is quite precious to him, let me tell you.
It's crazy because they do their best
to do these sort of ABC storylines,
where it's like, this is what we're following,
this is what we're not.
But they've got no understanding of what that is.
They're like, well, yeah, this, and then also this.
There's no rhyme or reason to any of it.
They're just like, we just have two things happening at once.
That's a show, right?
It's like going, how do you make a cake?
Well, I know that there's six ingredients.
So if we get six objects and put them in a bowl
and then put that in an oven, we'll get a cake.
Exactly.
Delicious treat.
But it isn't.
It turns out it's just a hot mess yeah the it is
i do like the i do like the idea that rob schneider is an aficionado of 17th century
tibetan furniture because i think that's that's an area that is ripe for comedy and hasn't been
mined deep enough it's a fun area to play with isn't it and And we get introduced to one of the thousands of guest stars,
Bobby Lee, in this episode.
Yeah, Asian-American comedian Bobby Lee,
who does not in any way have an Asian accent.
I think he was born in America.
But obviously in this Rob Schneider vehicle
has been told to just maybe ham it up a little bit.
Can we Asian it up a bit, Bobby
Lee? And so playing the
role of, I don't know where the
accent is meant to derive from, but playing
the role of sort of this
wise and
antique dealer.
Some of the best physical comedy
I've seen in the last 30 minutes, actually.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to that coming back.
You know, just wrapping it all around.
I hope that Rob licks more things.
Yes, see, while Rob has purportedly
entered Tibetan furniture,
as with many of his harebrained schemes,
it's revealed he's only got a cursory understanding
as, in fact, the chest of drawers,
the ancient Tibetan chest of drawers
he's trying to get $10,000 for
is not what it may seem to be in antique. It's a good replica it's a fake yeah it's a fake ladies and gentlemen
that he paid three thousand dollars for valueless though value valueless valueless that without
value has no oh wait no that's not how it goes fuck dang it kids these days they know the cost
of everything and the value of nothing
that's well said maybe this podcast will really teach them a lesson bring them down a peg bobby
lee uh gives rob a brief moment of hope and it's kind of a beautiful moment to see it die in his
eyes because he says this is a fantastic example of this era of furniture and it's it's probably
worth ten thousand dollars and then he proceeds to lick the top of it and he furniture and it's it's probably worth ten thousand dollars and then he
proceeds to lick the top of it and he says yep it's a good replica yeah because he can taste the
replica oil that's in used it's car oil or something like that because he said it was car wax and then
what was this is that fat or something yak yak fat yak fat yak fat okay and it was funny they said it
enough you know those gags where someone will do something
and it'll be very funny
and then they'll keep doing it
and it'll stop being funny
and then they'll keep doing it again
and it'll become funny
this is kind of like that
where they started doing it
and it wasn't initially funny
and then they keep going
and it wasn't funny again
it sounds like us
doesn't it
it kept going
and it still wasn't funny
yeah
it was really worth it, that whole scene.
And I think they should have just stayed in it.
I think as soon as you start measuring the scenes on the value
in terms of what they contribute to the broader story,
that's when the show starts falling apart.
A bit of false air.
You know, the thing is, this show, I mean, the whole episodes are rubbish,
but the individual scenes are also rubbish.
So, you know like you could if
you break it down there's a consistency there isn't there yeah there's a beautiful symmetry
to how everything sucks we are in the third episode of the season now and they have abandoned
seemingly still all of the interstitials that kind of made it enjoyable the the parts that
you know that where rob schneider was really working out what show he
wanted to make which was the stand-up on the soundstage the sort of kardashian style down
the barrel of the camera moments like those are respite from the unrelenting nature of this
piss-poor storytelling and without it you're just in this world like confused i was confused
i was coming in and out a little bit and so so I'd be like, oh, that's right.
I'm in a hotel room with Carlo and Tim watching Real Rob.
Yeah, we've actually just moved for this episode.
We were 34 stories in the air before.
You moved hotel rooms?
Yeah, we were in an apartment. They're booking them by the hour.
Rooms by the hour.
We want to do an episode with a new comedian in a new hotel room.
The hotel doesn't know you're here um so in this episode uh as carlo said we've got dusty lane who is a
fictional character who in this series is um uh sir paul mccartney's guitarist well i'm assuming
he's fictional which seems dicey on the front of like just because of how central he is to the
story it seems like almost defamation on Paul McCartney
to drag his reputation into this show
and talk about it so much
and have it as such a central storyline.
And the actor portraying one, Dusty Lane,
is a man called Steve Cook,
who I just looked up,
and he's an actor, director, writer, and musician.
And we went on his website
and he talks a lot about his quote-unquote early years in England He's an actor, director, writer, and musician. And we went on his website,
and he talks a lot about his quote-unquote early years in England and a lot about Liverpool.
But he has the broadest New Zealand accent I think I have heard on the tally
in like an American production.
It just cuts like a knife.
And he's a New Zealand denier, is what he is.
He's a self-hating Kiwi.
So another added element for you guys
to just really take out from this show,
just one of those things to really dig your teeth into.
Just something to chew on.
It was unmissable, wasn't it?
And it was crazy because you do expect a Liver Putty
and acting as, I mean, not necessarily Liver Putty,
but he's a Paul McCartney's guitarist.
You assume you've got a Brit.
Yeah.
I can't help but feel that because he denies that New Zealand heritage
and just lists Liverpool, that perhaps this was a casting failure
and that they were like, well, this guy is from Liverpool, he's an actor.
That'll be perfect for a guy playing Paul McCartney's guitarist.
You may be suggesting this in jest, but I really believe that it's possible.
No, I reckon Rob Steiner is like, oh, yeah, this is what a Liverpoolian sounds puddling sounds like fuck i reckon you're right because if you go on his website this is on the
front page that he's been in real rob so you know this is not going great well yeah because otherwise
the alternative is he is a genuine liver puddian who decided to play this character in the real
rob franchise as a new zealand i like that this is like actor who Rob franchise as a New Zealander. I like that. It's like
actor who can barely get a job has such a good
New Zealand accent up their sleeve. They've thrown us
all for a loop.
Fucking Steve. There's a beautiful
scene in this episode where
we're at the kids party
and it's got very joyous music. It's sort of
like a little montage
isn't it Carlo? Yeah it's
a great fun time for the kids.
I had a real laugh in this scene.
Yes, we all did.
We gave this scene, a beat in it, a round of applause as a collective,
which I can assure you is the first year it overlooked an undercut.
There is something very funny about it.
Go and check out, there's a surprise in the pool
and they're being a dolphin.
There's a false business called Dolphin to Door
and they deliver dolphins that perform in pools to kids' birthday parties.
You see the dolphin being taken away in the back of a van
and they've just filled up the back of the van with water.
It's good.
It's a good gag and they did it all.
You know, like the effects, they're not flawless, but it's good enough. You see the joke, you see what they're doing. It's good. It's a good gig. And they did it all. You know, like, they're fixed. They're not flawless, but it's good enough.
You see the joke. You see what they're doing. It's good.
This is also a scene where I just think that if Rob Schneider had slightly more knowledge of the world that was,
there could have just been a much better plot line for this very scene.
Like, you've got a dolphin in chlorinated water, presumably.
It could have just been a very fun montage of kids having fun with a dolphin,
desperately jumping
out of the water
and the jumps
becoming less and less
and then kids crying
around a dead dolphin.
And the reason they did that
is it's not because
they're shying away
from the dark stuff.
Like, this show
does tread some pretty,
you know,
dicey territory.
It's just because
he doesn't have
the comedic faculty
to imagine that scene.
He's just like,
well, there's a dolphin in the pool.
That's fine.
Hey, he did good.
Wouldn't you love to be in the writer's room?
Not contributing, not visible, just to see the process in action.
Yeah.
I mean, the episode ends the same way the last episode that I watched of this ends,
with them in bed.
Yeah.
The same way the last episode that I watched of this ends with them in bed.
Yeah.
And that seems to be like every scene with the two of them is in the bed. Like there's one scene in this when they're kind of elsewhere,
but it seems to be most of the scenes of them in bed.
It's like, this is your real wife.
Like, sure, you guys do other stuff in your lives.
Like spend time in other locations.
Put something other than the bed
you know it is very boring it's like they've tried to go with the married with children style sitcom
but it's weird to do that on a netflix series that we've only got like eight episodes because
in tv you get it's like every week they've got to bang out another episode and you've got to have
like the sound stages all together in the same place so you can do that.
But this is like, people went out and made this all at once
so that they could whack it up on Netflix later.
It's not like they're in perpetuity making an episode a week.
It just reeks of the Schneider.
It's just like the more you watch, the more unbreakable the idea in my mind
is that Rob Schneider, his wife Patricia and Jamie,
they made this show
entirely insulated from anyone from netflix's creative people just them on whatever you know
like they have a sound stage where they're putting this together i think it's their house at this
point i really think we're just watching this shit happen inside of their house like this is this this
is getting increasingly autobiographical in a very real sense, like in a documentary sense.
He's dialing up a lot of the violence because that's the only trigger he knows for comedy, I think.
Yes.
So there's big things on hurting people.
But the thing with the kids party is that at the start, that sequence, we just, Patricia's there and Jamie's there as well.
And Jamie brings in some puppies for
the girls because it's a birthday party and there's an elsa look-alike princess everyone's
having a fucking fabulous time a famous time together and happy music's playing there's candy
it's bright and colorful it's great and it's like this is a vision of the world in this show without
rob schneider in it this this is the lives we all could be leading if
rob had never visited us it would be a happier show if patricia and jamie realized that they
are in love and broke away yeah and then like you'd have fun because we could follow the narrative of
a broken rob schneider instead of just like it is it's driving me nuts that there's no consequence
to his actions i would love to see the world come down on rob and like all
the people who he's hurt or made life difficult for around him put the pieces together and build
a beautiful life and he's just this downtrodden like which is if you watch interviews of him with
the happy madison crew that is his role in in real life what do you mean that he gets shit on he's
the put-upon guy yeah he's their lackey. Oh, man. Actually, I think we talked about this last season,
but that interview where six of them are on Conan.
Yeah, it's brutal.
It's fucking brutal.
You ever seen that?
I've not seen that, no.
Schneider's just trying to get a joke in,
and he's almost to the point where he's raising his hand
like a schoolchild at the back,
and they finally give him a chance to throw a quip in,
and it fucking dies on its ass.
It makes you want to cry. It really does. and that man got a television series that has two seasons and a third
on the way carlo no it does coming out this year why do you why do you do it to yourselves guys
like this is just like my partner just got into town and i like i'm here in a hotel room going
through this i just think you've got like i think, this is an hour out of my life.
You've got 16 hours gone and another eight on the way.
Hey, fuck you, Carlo.
Nah, I'm with you, Carlo, man.
We make these decisions.
Like, if this show is so bad that Rob Schneider made it for no one,
why have we put our hands up and said, no, actually, Rob, you've made it for us?
Because that's art, man.
Sometimes art is finding your way through,
and things deserve analysis and critique when they're put on the world.
Not everything.
If you're putting a show on Netflix,
we're allowed to watch it without guilt or fear of retribution from
Carlo Richie that we're wasting our time.
There is value in observing an
oddity that has made itself
its way on this platform. I'm not saying that
you're wasting your time, Tim. I feel like this is
time well spent, but I just feel that
two such funny and creative people,
you could be writing
another show in this time.
You know?
There is no denying what you're saying. Yeah, that cuts like a knife you could be writing about the show in this time you know you just there's literally there's no
denying what you're saying yeah that cuts like a knife that actually it's no good look this is you
know you're great you're creating great stuff consider this to be a very roundabout research
mission where instead of discovering how to write a show first one must know how not to write a show
we must know everything about how to not write a
show well fools i respect you guys i respect you guys so much and the more compliments you rain
down on us the more facetious they seem to sound um if i think um patricia and jamie were to get
together i actually think that'd be kind of a perfect pair in a way because i think that jamie is he he shows himself to be loyal above everything else
it's true he's potentially unkillable he's a femboy i think he might possibly be immortal
he did fall today from quite a significant height and land on his head and then just wake up a few
hours later with a sore neck so far so far season, he's been crushed by a dressing cabinet
that's like two people high.
Two metres.
Down a stairwell.
He's been bitten by a very poisonous spider
that's remained entirely untreated.
Yeah, he's had a lot of needles jabbed into a lot of foreign objects.
He's been suffocated to the point of almost death
that he had his life flashed before his eyes.
And every episode he bounces back and says,
Hey, Jamie reporting for work.
Yeah.
So, and Patricia, like, she is good at sort of giving Rob the tasks,
you know, like she's good at wrangling.
And Rob's just really shit at doing the tasks.
But I think Jamie would just be like, cool, here's what I'm doing today.
And he wouldn't put up any resistance. He just be like great i don't think to follow
that narrative that he's a potential immortal i will point out this in that in the scene before
the dolphin he goes oh yep and goes off stage it's said there's like this sort of strange thing
that's set up where she's like oh you need to get some extra stuff for the party he looks at his
phone's like yeah i got it sorted. That never comes back.
Just before the dolphin appears,
he goes off and then he's not in the dolphin scene.
No, he's not.
So maybe he's the dolphin, guys.
You think he's a shapeshifter?
Yeah, maybe.
Okay, let me put this out there.
Do you think that Jamie is an immortal
and he's lived for so many thousands of years
that he's discovered
the only true happiness there is is absolute service to others and he's found an employer putting his
body on the line yeah he's found like the world's worst boss because he he believes that it will be
the most virtuous version of living in service of other people it's kind of like the groundhog
day situation in which that once he can sort of better himself through like he's probably done some terrible things in his life of immortality
yeah he must have killed countless people and now he's thinking you look i'm just gonna take it i'm
just gonna get absolutely shat on for the rest of my life do you think of this person's life is it
self-flagellation so that he can better himself or do you think there is some sort of cosmic force
that will allow him to relinquish do you know what it is it's the knowledge that if he does not step
into this void held by rob schneider that someone else will and that he's the only person with the
physical and mental capacity to withstand his relentless bullying and company is so good guy
fuck that's good so he's human shielding himself in the place of another person. He's jumping on the grenade that is Rob Schneider
to prevent any of the shrapnel or explosion
touching the rest of the ears of civilization.
And he can't protect everyone.
You saw Dusty Lane.
He gets caught up in the orbit of Schneider.
There's collateral damage, but he is minimizing it.
And I think that it's a little too convenient that the the world's most
thoughtless and cruel man rob schneider and kind of a dummy as well has been teamed up with um a pa
who could not be killed so i think that does add to the fact that there is some sort of mystical
property that jamie found him i think we've cracked it. And I would say that there's probably this added element to it
that there is this...
We had this element of the 17th century Tibetan furniture added in today.
And Jamie, early in the episode, showed a complete sense of...
He had no respect for that object.
He trod right on it.
Well, yeah. I mean, it could be trod right on it. Well, it's, yeah,
I mean, it could be a day old to him.
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Could have just been picked up from Kmart.
Aren't we but ants dancing upon
the globe
to old Jamie. Angels on the head of a pin.
Can I talk about the fact
that amongst all of the
junk that's been kept in the
garage,
Rob Schneider stumbles upon a script for Juice Bigelow,
African Gigolo, and is seen reading it in not one but two scenes.
And the second time he's reading it,
he is laughing to himself on the last page and says,
ah, it still holds up.
That is insane.
Is that an advertisement?
Is he trying to float that to anyone who's watching it that he
does have a spec for african gigolo yes a hundred times yes and he doesn't as well by the way because
he hasn't done the work but if anyone shows any kind of interest he'll like get jamie to write it
for him because i do think that those elements of his uh self-centeredness and giving all of the shit jobs to jamie i think
that's real i i think that is a um that's a real mirroring of what well they yeah i mean real world
outlined earlier in the season the creative process is rob schneider tells stories to his
wife and jamie in the writer's room and then all of a sudden the episodes are made that was rob
schneider's articulation of the creative process. So Jamie does have,
you know, like Jamie's inserted in this,
you know, this like Nobles mythic storyline
for himself.
Yeah.
He's, you know,
he's in how put upon the character is,
he is representing how put upon he feels
in real life.
And also he's self-aware beyond writing it, you know, he's self-aware enough to have described his acting performance in this series as the worst, he's self-aware beyond writing it.
You know, he's self-aware enough
to have described his acting performance
in this series as the worst thing he's ever done.
It's amazing that he kept making it, eh?
Wait, who? Rob Schneider has said that.
No, his assistant.
Jamie has said that, yeah.
Jamie said that of his own performance in this show.
And that was in season one.
That's just your classic
trying to get out
ahead of the story
sort of play
he
but I mean he's probably
the strongest actor
in this
in the three
of the three of them
I don't think Rob Schneider
is a terrible actor
in this
I think his character
is deplorable
and the writing
is just
fucking baffling
but I don't think
his acting
is the worst
I don't know
I just don't think
he can sell anything that he says.
Really?
He has that blow up today at Jamie
and it reads like it was written.
It's like, I don't see this.
I didn't see this coming.
I didn't see any fury building up to this moment.
Can you imagine being on set
watching Rob Schneider direct himself on his own lines
and not being able to say anything because he's in charge.
Yeah, it would be a nightmare.
Yeah, great, Rob.
And then you go home with him after watching him flail on set for a day
because you're his wife.
And she goes, hey, that was a good day at work, wasn't it?
Yeah, Rob.
Yeah, it was great.
Oh, you're right.
I forgot about that.
Oh, shit.
That sucks.
Yeah.
The fact that they...
Oh, man.
I want to know more about Patricia in real life.
I want real Patricia.
Well, it's easy.
The thing is, it's easy to want to feel sympathy
because it does feel like she's trapped in this world
or in this marriage.
Yeah.
But a lot of the time like she's trapped in this world or like in this marriage yeah but
a lot of the time when she's given enough screen time to voice her own opinions or views she is
you know running a not too distant second to rob in terms of being an absolute piece of shit that's
true she's not like a redeemable character she's also bad news she's less bad but it's a it's a
high bar um unrelated oh sorry no you go ten
well i was just gonna say because this does bear mentioning because i was positively aghast when
it happened jamie walks over the tibetan table the fucking dresser thing when they're moving
stuff around rob schneider calls him a cunt yes out of nowhere i don't think i've ever heard that
on a netflix show before which also kind of makes me wonder
is anyone screening these episodes
before they're going up
they're all definitely their first draft
and it's being just made
and just put on the telly
but does anyone from Netflix
because usually
they trust Rob
yeah they do
that's the problem
I landed in a very similar situation
when I used to host Foul Army
on TV3 in New Zealand
and they were like
you guys just go away, you make this show.
And we knew that no one was quality controlling them.
Yeah.
Wasn't there a retake that made it to air once, like a mistake?
Yeah, there was one where we were doing a voiceover for a clip
and we were like, hey, can we take that again?
And that went to air.
And it's exactly the same situation.
Don't look the mic, Carl.
I want to hear you laugh about that.
No, because, of course, you assume, you know,
at higher levels, you assume
that there are people checking all of this stuff.
Yeah.
But there are idiots in every job.
Like, you know, there's people who are doing...
Well, they're just not there.
They're doing...
The barrier that you thought was there doesn't exist.
And they're sitting back there, and they go,
I mean, the show is really struggling.
It's not doing well critically,
but there's someone just watching it in the antipodes.
It's just like if we can just be cutting through down there.
To one Australian hotel room.
It's going to blow up.
Well, I found in one of the news articles I read,
I found three embedded tweets.
That's three tweets from people asking for a third season of Real Rob.
And none of them were from Tim and I.
So consider ourselves part of a party of five.
Real accounts?
I mean, I didn't research the accounts,
but presumably real accounts run by real idiots.
Do you think, and I don't know if you've...
Do you think that Rob Schneider
may have listened to the first season
of The Legend Overcooked
and has put in a New Zealand character.
Just as a little nod.
Just as a little nod.
Like, I'm watching and look at this.
Almost.
But the only...
I mean, we'll know when season three hits these shores
because the only flaw in that timeline
is that season two of this show was still made in 2017.
Season one of Overlook and Overercook was released in 2018.
Yeah.
Wow.
Well, that puts a pin in that one.
I would love so much for that to be the case.
I wouldn't be surprised if you listened to it.
He strikes me as...
Really?
Dude, he's created a production company
and wrapped himself around the fucking dumbest people
he can find who can actually get a TV show
across the line finished and completed
because his ego is so delicate.
He's not going to seek out any critique or review of his work.
It's not congruent with what we're seeing on screen.
No, but he would punch his own name into Twitter
and see what's being written.
People talk about the podcast.
It would tear him apart.
It would fucking tear him apart.
I don't think a lot of people know about this podcast.
Or maybe he's or you know
maybe he'd listen to it
and be like
finally someone actually gets
what I was trying to
I was trying to bring down
Netflix
from the inside
I was just trying to show him
that it's celebrity
and a name can make anything
in this world
and the real artists
are getting overlooked
give them every Oscar
yeah
you know
that would be so good
that is Kafka-esque
isn't it
well I mean
a year on colour what do you think do you think
we're punching down oh you're definitely not punching down i mean like it's rob schneider
you know like he had every opportunity just to he made millions of dollars surely from the
projects that he was involved in estimated net worth of 15 million dollars he's a net like i
mean that's a guy he could have just sat back
and funded Kickstarters
or done anything he wanted to do.
I'm like, that's where your mind went.
Just have a gut.
If he wanted to stay involved
in the creative industry,
there were so many other ways
that he could have done it.
Yeah.
But he decided to make,
write, film and direct his own series,
which is fucking rubbish.
No way you're punching down.
You're punching up to like,
this guy needs to be brought down.
There is a light in your eyes that I haven't seen before, Carlo.
This is conviction.
You believe what you're saying right now.
This is the 1%, man, right there.
Right on our fucking screens.
Do we need to eat real Rob?
You know, the eat the rich thing
Like real Rob
Is the uninhibited wealth
Yeah
You know
He is without
There's no check or balance
On Rob Schneider
He broke
A three thousand dollar wardrobe
Up with an axe
Like I don't care
If it's not worth
Three thousand dollars
He spent three thousand dollars
On it
Like
You buy a shitty pizza
For twenty bucks
And you go Fuck this pizza is shit You still eat the pizza Because you spent Twenty bucks on it like you know like you buy a shitty pizza for 20 bucks and you go
fuck this pizza is shit you still eat the pizza 20 bucks on it god damn right about that he i don't
know part of me is like that's his money if he wants to if he wants to show us footage of him
pissing on a pile of money you know across two seasons of real rob so be it but this is like
the free speech argument right yeah he's allowed
to do it and yes i'm allowed to say we should eat him as a result we should kill and cannibalize
rob schneider it's like it's such a big thing i've a big thing the two episodes that i have watched
have dealt with like the power of having huge amount of money like in the last episode of the
first season he loses everything and he has to
and then they find out oh i've got five hundred thousand dollars in cash we're gonna be sweet
and then now we're three episodes in and it seems like life has just worked out that five hundred
thousand has just got us back to everything like money is not a problem like yeah i can't i i just
it either should be or it shouldn't be but they shouldn't dip in and out if it's so dependent
But that's absolutely
what they do, like it's, you know, so much
of this is just, is the word
incongruent? Like there's no
it doesn't exist
it's not tethered to reality, they just
pluck out of anywhere, they just
pull an idea or you know
a problem that might exist to them for as long
as it's convenient or serves their version of storytelling,
which is literally Rob Schneider finding different ways to be an asshole
and fuck up his assistant.
I just hurt.
Listen to him.
I am hurt.
It's funny because when I watch this, it puts me in the mind.
Today when I was watching, I was thinking,
it's almost as if Rob Schneider wanted to create BoJack Horseman in like a real sense.
Yeah.
It's like what about if I'm like a super wealthy, no troubles like asshole who's kind of dealing with fame, but it doesn't have any of the kind of pathos.
It doesn't have any of the like self-awareness.
There's no depth.
There's no intelligence to it.
It's just like I'm an asshole and I'm i'm incredibly rich yeah yeah everything works out yeah he refuses to think about
his behavior yeah or if he does it's all done off screen and his conclusion is i'm all good
which is the entire point of shows like bojack horseman yeah is about going i i am a complete
arsehole and an utterly flawed character,
but I will analyze that periodically.
Yeah.
It's terrifying, really.
It is scary, isn't it?
It is.
Like, you guys, like,
I don't know how you guys are holding it together.
Like, you must just be seething with rage. You can hear how tired we are.
We've watched fucking three episodes of this now.
No, yeah, it's not good.
We're beaten down.
I mean, when I came in, you were so despondent, guys.
We sat down.
You didn't even say hello.
You hugged me and then you turned on the television.
It's like, yes, let's just deep into the roots of this beast.
Fuck it out.
Well, what better place to end it?
The whole day has been spent indoors watching and discussing.
