Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:43 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.
Starting point is 00:01:03 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.
Starting point is 00:01:34 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.
Starting point is 00:01:54 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
Starting point is 00:02:21 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.
Starting point is 00:02:42 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.
Starting point is 00:03:00 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.
Starting point is 00:03:27 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
Starting point is 00:03:50 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.
Starting point is 00:04:06 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
Starting point is 00:04:22 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
Starting point is 00:05:05 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
Starting point is 00:05:30 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
Starting point is 00:05:40 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.
Starting point is 00:05:55 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
Starting point is 00:06:25 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?
Starting point is 00:06:56 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
Starting point is 00:07:29 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,
Starting point is 00:07:48 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,
Starting point is 00:08:10 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.
Starting point is 00:08:23 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
Starting point is 00:09:01 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
Starting point is 00:09:19 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.
Starting point is 00:09:40 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.
Starting point is 00:10:02 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
Starting point is 00:10:25 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.
Starting point is 00:10:36 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.
Starting point is 00:10:44 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,
Starting point is 00:11:03 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.
Starting point is 00:11:21 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.
Starting point is 00:11:51 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
Starting point is 00:12:21 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
Starting point is 00:12:55 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
Starting point is 00:13:34 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,
Starting point is 00:13:56 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.
Starting point is 00:14:27 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,
Starting point is 00:14:52 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
Starting point is 00:15:13 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
Starting point is 00:15:32 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
Starting point is 00:16:21 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
Starting point is 00:16:46 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.
Starting point is 00:17:04 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.
Starting point is 00:17:30 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
Starting point is 00:17:50 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
Starting point is 00:18:34 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.
Starting point is 00:19:01 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.
Starting point is 00:19:43 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.
Starting point is 00:19:58 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,
Starting point is 00:20:18 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
Starting point is 00:20:51 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,
Starting point is 00:21:14 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?
Starting point is 00:21:33 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
Starting point is 00:21:46 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
Starting point is 00:21:53 is a terrible actor in this I think his character is deplorable and the writing is just fucking baffling but I don't think
Starting point is 00:22:01 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.
Starting point is 00:22:12 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.
Starting point is 00:22:34 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.
Starting point is 00:22:49 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
Starting point is 00:23:00 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
Starting point is 00:23:26 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
Starting point is 00:23:52 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
Starting point is 00:24:02 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?
Starting point is 00:24:18 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.
Starting point is 00:24:31 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,
Starting point is 00:24:43 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.
Starting point is 00:25:04 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
Starting point is 00:25:24 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
Starting point is 00:25:38 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...
Starting point is 00:25:56 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.
Starting point is 00:26:14 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
Starting point is 00:26:26 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
Starting point is 00:26:33 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
Starting point is 00:26:41 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
Starting point is 00:27:05 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.
Starting point is 00:27:16 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.
Starting point is 00:27:34 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
Starting point is 00:27:48 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
Starting point is 00:27:56 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
Starting point is 00:28:04 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
Starting point is 00:28:41 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
Starting point is 00:29:12 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
Starting point is 00:29:31 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.
Starting point is 00:29:49 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,
Starting point is 00:30:28 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.
Starting point is 00:30:40 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.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Fuck it out. Well, what better place to end it? The whole day has been spent indoors watching and discussing. We're not even halfway, guys. We're not even halfway, guys.
