The Worst Idea Of All Time - Episode Thirty Eight - Mea Culpa

Episode Date: November 10, 2018

Guy's back and more awake than ever. He didn't go to sleep for the whole movie this time! And he's bringing the Paddy Shwartz noise! Facts on where Paddy works out, where Paddy eats and more! Plus the age old question: Would you eat a placenta? The boys also fondly remember Sandler's hit comedy song 'Piece of Shit Car' and a bygone era of Napster and Limewire. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

that is good news guy that is such good news we've we've off the film, and it's not even midday. That's right. That's how you get things done, everybody. Efficient. Get up around 9 o'clock, all right? Hope that your flatmates cooked you some mushrooms, maybe, which is what was fortunate enough to happen to me this morning. Awesome.

Was it Maxie? Yeah, yeah. What a dude. And then you roll around to Tim's house, and you watch Grown Ups 2 between the hours of 10am and 12pm. Number 38. Number 38. We're real proud of ourselves.

I'm actually feeling pretty good right now. I'm feeling awesome. Well, like sad because I just watched the movie again. No, but I felt sad watching the movie, but then when it was over and I looked at my phone, it was only 11.50 something. I was like, whoa, there's a whole day ahead of us. A whole big day. There's going to be a rose-tinted podcast. If there's one thing that this podcast has taught me, ironically, it is to live every moment and love every day.

Because every moment that I'm not watching Grown Ups 2 is like a gift. I don't think that's ironic. I think that message is hammered home by the movie relentlessly. You want to look at a town full of people who are living every moment and loving every day just really grabbing things by the scruff of the neck and doing whatever the fuck they want whenever the fuck they want it's about standing connecticut it's ironic it's ironic because it's a story so badly told and messages so ham-fistedly shoved down your throat but they've accidentally tripped over a real good song at the end which seems to like diss their own movie but is actually legitimately a great life message

which is to love every moment and live every day and stop seeing adam sandler movies actually speaking of rio speedwagon who are for those of you who aren't as so well uh familiar with the podcast is uh we've just finished watching grown-ups 2 for the 38th time there's a hair on the microphone I don't know why I had to pick it up but it was bugging me sorry we've just watched the movie

for the 38th time and the closing credit song is REO Speedwagon's Live Every Moment and live every moment and a while ago one of our listeners

suggested that we listen to a live album by REO Speedwagon oh yeah oh yeah and I actually I said said i was gonna do it and i didn't do it and he was saying it's one of the best live like best live music albums if you're into that genre of music or even if you're not i guess i i like a bit of um like

would you call it classic rock i don't know if you were with ario speedwagon it's a bit softer but yeah i listened to that live album it was fucking dope so shout out to ario speedwagon yeah what was it ario speedwagon the album that he recommended yeah it had to be because we would have been talking about ario speedwagon that's weird i thought it was yeah no that makes sense it was a long time it was like weeks and weeks ago and i listened to it at the time and I remember it was dope. Yeah. But unfortunately, I don't remember enough to even be 100% sure that it was REO Speedwagon I was listening to. Sounds like it really impacted you, bro.

At any rate, Guy, so much to talk about in the episode this week on our 38th watching of Grown Ups 2, a movie which was described by Peter Dante, and I'm paraphrasing a little bit, as a movie which was described by Peter Dante, and I'm paraphrasing a little bit, as a movie where he and Shaq play cops in Adam Sandler's hometown and Adam Sandler comes back home and sees his friends and they hang out together. They have a day together.

That's more or less what he says he's on point gotta love Peter Dante I gotta say during the there was a lot of mood changes and sort of gear shifts for me personally during the movie today

run me through the emotional gamut that you experienced early on definitely feeling the absurdity some weeks you feel it some weeks you don't but definitely feeling the absurdity. Some weeks you feel it, some weeks you don't. But definitely feeling the fact that I'm watching this movie again. Yeah. That was very present in my mind, which sort of, I mean,

it changes what you're watching. You had a good point early on as well about once you've seen something this many times, it changes. Like you're watching for takes. Yeah. You sort of see through the kind of facade of what they've put in front of you, which is a fully produced movie,

and you start seeing the matrix code. Yeah, you imagine that you can see around the edges of the screen where there's all of the crew and stuff getting the job done. That is a beautiful articulation of the feeling. It's like I feel like I can sense the lighting guy who's just had a shot and the boom operator who's holding that boom just above where we can see and dennis just on his cell phone while the take is in progress i say dennis dugan probably ordering up another cocaine dressed up like george michael in his trailer just watching it from a monitor

yelling instructions through a walkie talkie no he's um he's not george michael he's um he's no he's billy idol in this but he's george michael when he's he changed his costume every day love it dennis durgan turns up on set every day dressed as a different 80s pop rock musician i would love to see dennis durgan as cindper. That would be wicked. That would be good. So you say Cindy. Cindy. Cindy, yeah. Cindy Lauper. So yeah, I mean, it was an interesting watch, I suppose.

We had some interesting theories and conversations come up during the film. I mean, we both saw some stuff we hadn't seen before. Definitely. So there was a bunch of stuff that you seemed to notice for the first time today, which I find fascinating that either one of us can still find new ground. um so there was a bunch of stuff that you seem to notice for the first time today which was i find i find it fascinating that either one of us can still find new ground i guess it's that sort of commentary on you know how you fall into patterns and like you watch it and i thought i heard a line is that for like the first two viewings and then never bothered to never bothered to listen closely

enough to the line is correct myself so uh chris rock's son is kurt kurt mckenzie whose phone's going on mine oh it's rory oh i can't take that in the middle of the podcast can i or can i mean i wouldn't even really bring it up who's rory oh dude rory's the man what's his deal he's gonna be pretty fucking cool to be calling up during the podcast he lives in sy lives in Sydney, so it's always exciting when I get a call from him because he's either fucking drunk or super hungover. But either way, I get a good story out of it. Rory sounds like he's got a drinking problem, man. He's all good.

Rory's all good. He's a good man. Anyway, where was I? Oh, yeah. So that particular one that you heard for the first time was, yeah, Kurt. Never said once in the movie. That's Rock's first name. His son is getting a driving test, pulls up to the lights where it's red.

The frat boys come and they say, because they think he's one of their compatriots at the frat. Scully? Scully, yeah. No way, Scully, is that you? Scully, is that you? Are you taking your driver's test drunk? And then he says, yeah, I'm MC Hammered.

But I thought he said, I'm absolutely, yeah, man, I'm absolutely hammered. 38 times before, oh, and you didn't even hear it. I said it. And you were like, what? I said it out loud.

It's just because i genuinely why would i bother listening to that in detail now like if i already i would just think for one of the times in the 38 viewings you would have just heard it yeah you're probably right and another one is the free back rub that you noticed oh yeah yeah so cuz leanne played by dianne dianne sorry played by mia rudolph um forgets the forgets her wedding anniversary where Chris Rock buys her a necklace and puts it in her son's poo-infested nappy. It's not actually poo-infested. But it could be.

Yeah, there's always a risk. You put a necklace down, any underpants, there's a risk of some poo getting on the necklace. No more riskier prospect is there than putting it in a toddler's underwear. It was a bold anniversary move, anniversary day strategy or anniversary gift. Like, I don't think I would, I don't know,

say you splashed out $300 on that necklace. It looks like a pretty nice necklace. Yeah, man. You're going to go risk tainting that gift. I guess what you're measuring up is whether or not the sort of sweetness if you pull it off yeah outweighs how disgusting and disappointing it would be if it goes wrong and the thing is is that kurt spun the roulette wheel and won like that paid dividends for him yeah that was a really really sweet and touching sort of he nailed it and she was genuinely caught off guard. She was taken aback.

Yeah. It was a lovely moment, actually. I'm just thinking about right now for people who haven't watched the movie at all, that we didn't really provide a lot of colouring for that situation, so that would have been really, this really confusing little tangent. Oh, shit.

Before I go into the thing I was going to go into, Alice, one of our listeners, has said that she hasn't watched the movie but she's listened to all the podcasts and i can't remember the post exactly but she wants to basically paint a picture of what she thinks the movie is oh yeah yeah she wants to do it she's going to draw out a timeline of what she thinks the action of the film which i'm really excited for such a good idea that's a really great idea it's a great idea so uh at some point dianne's writing out uh when she's on the phone to her mother which is such a fucking odd like what the fuck man i remember when we first figured out that that was her mom and we

were like why why does it need to be like what the fuck is going on just you know it just adds texture it made no sense chris it makes chris rock probably a little more deplorable if anything it's negatively like holding out on giving his mother-in-law cable oh yeah for no other reason than his own amusement it is purely that he doesn't even need to be anywhere else he's just sitting in his fucking van yeah um i guess it's pretty funny prank though so diane maybe he teases about it When she comes over for dinner He's like did you get that cable And she's like no And he's like

Sorry I don't know Just a thought Chris Rock's wife is writing out A free back rub voucher To try and atone for her sins Of forgetting the wedding anniversary But the thing is man

A free back rub is not a necklace No but it's a lovely thought she's doing her best and I'm just impressed by the fact that the directors or writers or whoever was in charge the art director I guess

of the mise-en-scene of the movie bothered to put that much detail into any like into because I haven't noticed that and I saw it and I was so satisfied

that she was that it tied in with another part of the movie I always figure with those bits that it was a way bigger scene

and it just got cut down in editing. So it's probably not like, oh, and we'll have this for just a flash moment. Yeah, apparently I read on IMDb this week that they shot over 500 hours of film for this movie. I wonder how that stacks up against other films. It's a lot, 500 hours. But if everything has an average of how many takes? Five average? Because Adam Sandler does not do a lot 500 hours but if you say if everything has an average of how many takes

five average because like i made i made i made that up well everything i just said yeah i completely made that i can't go too deep on this like i i made it all up 500 hours seems long and i don't think they shot it on film no no so i mean there's a lot there's a lot of reasons i thought i've put in enough red flags that you'd call bullshit No I didn't I went with you guy You've caught me in a vulnerable trusting mood Took me down the garden path So yeah

What else is Patrick Schwartzeneg Patrick Schwartz Party time It's Patrick Schwartz Party time Patrick Schwartz The nigger's coming To the party He's bringing

Miley Cyrus with him Constantly He's bringing Six bills They're but light bills It's Dead Terminator He's Paddy

It's Paddy Schwartz Okay Patrick Schwartz Nigger party time Now we've both got one This week Obviously it's been A big week for Paddy.

Both in the world of the film and I believe your one is... Yeah, well, he's... What I've noticed is I follow Paddy on Twitter and he's made some huge gains. Give Paddy's handle a shout out, mate. I'll just load it up here. All right, bro. But I've started sort of taking a vested interest in his life.

I'm like almost like a proud parent. I mean, obviously, D dating Wiley Cyrus has increased his sort of cultural collateral. Like he's, I feel like a proud parent in the sense that we sort of start a relationship with him before the greater public at large. Yeah. And it's sort of like watching your young boy Grow up into a man Right in front of your eyes We feel like how Arnie must be feeling right now That's right

And the other thing about that Which I like Is Where are you? There you are No This is a fake account He's got fake accounts

How many? What? He's got heaps That's awesome The other thing I like about it Is he's made some huge gains At the gym this week Big gains

Why do you go to the gym? You go for gains That's right I'll just give a huge gains at the gym this week. Big gains. Why do you go to the gym? You go for gains. That's right. I'll just give a shout out to the gym. It's on Venice. Him and the lads have actually all put on

a pretty good amount of muscle this week. And the other one, oh, here we go. Gold's Gym. Gold's Gym on Venice Beach. If you want to head down there and do some Patty Schwartz spotting.

And the other one I've got to give a shout out to. When you say spotting, do you mean looking at him or like spotting him when he's doing the weights and shit? Whatever works. Imagine that if you spotted him from afar at Gold's and then you came up, you're like, Patty, Timbo, should I spot you?

He's like, yeah, jump in, fella. Yeah, I could use someone to spot me, however he talks. And I also want to give a big shout out to Blaze Pizza. I don't know if Patrick Schwarzenegger has invested money Yeah, I could use someone to spark me, however he talks. And I also want to give a big shout-out to Blaze Pizza. I don't know if Patrick Schwarzenegger has invested money or whatever into this pizza firm or if they're just giving him a sweet Contra deal to do shout-outs on Twitter, but he's all over this place. And looking at their Twitter page, you can really see why. Blaze Pizza.

Fresh dough, artisanal ingredients, inventive to classic, you decide. Blazing oven and dedicated pizza smith and 180 seconds equals fast-fired perfection. 180 seconds. What, so do they like flash cook the pizza? They flash, they've got a blazing hot oven. 180 seconds is three minutes. That is a quick, that's a microwave oven. No, no, it's a real oven.

Yeah, no, but that's microwave time. And look, their copy is, there's no wrong way to play. You've thrown a lot at me, man. Blaze has got a lot of shit going on. Big shout out to Paddy. So how does that connect to Paddy Schwartz? I just think that maybe he's got stock in there. But like, I mean, you were talking about Paddy Schwartz.

Has he been tweeting about it? He keeps going to events or something at Blaze Pizza pizza oh really all the events are catered by blaze pizza he's just always bloody going on about blaze pizza well we've left the uh the first few breadcrumbs folks you follow the path let's dig out some irs forms yeah well like if there are any diehard patrick schwarzenegger fans in los angeles we're just sort of providing you, if you want to do some celeb spotting, maybe get a picture taken with him, we're just giving you some handy hints. You would have to say that Blaze Pizza is absolutely going after the stoner market, right? Blaze Pizza.

Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty out there. It's like there's a Ben & Jerry's flavor in Canada, it's probably in America too, called Half Baked. Cool. And it's like cookie dough too called half baked cool and it's like half it's like cookie dough flavoured ice cream but oh okay

you can totally see what they're trying to do when they put that in the ice cream aisle at the supermarket I would say so I would say they say on those

those tubs of cookies that you're not supposed to eat it on what tubs cookie dough because in America you just like eat cookie dough

yeah you can just buy cookie dough for eating you just eat it but it says on the tub don't eat this you gotta cook it no no i'm pretty sure in america you just buy you just buy rolls of cookie dough as cookie dough yeah yeah you can't like no no you do but i think it's one of those things where it's like they have to put on the packet you know don't eat it in this form you've got to cook it first that seems like a weird like particular rule to make.

The one thing with America and eating is just you don't need to tell anyone about it. I reckon it's a food safety thing, maybe. There's some toxins in there. Yeah, you've got to cook them off in your 180-second oven. I love eating cookies. Flash cook some Ben and Jerry's half-baked, you know? Anyway. I've just combined three things and they don't work. not quite because the ben and jerry's is ice cream uh

what was your patty schwartz party time tim my mom was a lot tamer mate my mom was um in the world of the film and uh my patty schwartz was him uh when they're at the quarry and there's a shot where the dude with the really deep voice he goes the baddie white just called you crazy yeah so he's like guzzling a beer he's got his shirt off and petty sports is just punching him in the stomach rolling punch rolling punch like a like a punching bag in a gym um but with love you know like a real friendly also kind of menacing to the alt to the townies yeah kind of like eyes on you fader and i like i mean i i think i i patty schwartz plenty times compliment each other quite nicely this week because obviously in the real world he does do some

some maybe some glove work at the down down the gym down at gold's quick shout out to gold's on venice beach check it out shout out we know i know what do you know what i loved do you know when i'm on venice beach guy do you know what I love doing after I hit Gold's? What do you love? Grab a slice of Blaze pizza, bro. That's right. They use fresh artisanal ingredients. Original to inventive. That's right.

It's your choice. If you are in a hurry, do not worry. Do not fret. Do not let your pants get wet because these pizzas are cooked at 180 seconds in our blazing hot oven. Damn, son. That's only three minutes. That's right. If you've got a three-minute lunch break from your workout at gold's on venice then you start yelling your order as

soon as you put the dumbbells down just yell out what you want as you're running to them and they'll get it in the oven and by the time you're there don't eat it straight away because the cheese is hot and it will burn the roof of your mouth and no one no one likes that no let's stick with you for so many days so now there's an you just made me write down the note kevin james table kevin james table oh yeah yeah yeah because in the movie uh at the party scene kevin james um because i don't know if you know this i've been on imdb this week and i've learned no that's lost credibility credibility because of what I did earlier. But that was an ad-lib. So when he says, don't ever say the party's over, and he jumps up on the table, and the table blows out.

That was not meant to happen. That was bullshit. And he just ad-libbed his way through, and then he goes, that didn't happen. Bullshit. I'm just saying they were just rolling. Absolutely not, bro. They took a lot of film. Did you see how the table went down? There was a planned not, bro. They took a lot of film. Did you see how the table went down? That was a planned explosion, bro.

There were planted explosives in the table. No, no, no. Tables don't go down like that. I haven't really watched that many tables. You've seen that table go down 38 times, dude. Yeah, I have. Oh, you mean like a normal table? I don't know.

Well, just think about the physics of a normal table. If you saw a normal table go down, it would naturally have like a point where it's like one of the legs would go first and then it would all fall to that direction first. It would be asymmetrical. It would be an asymmetrical fall. On an ordinary table, but maybe some tables have got weird... No, absolutely.

It wouldn't blow out in the perfect symmetrical four points at once. It's just how the table was designed. It went down into its own... It's just how the table maker made the table. It went down into its own footprint, man. That doesn't happen with tables. It's not how they... Are you saying all this just to explain to me

that you don't think it was an ad-lib? It absolutely was not an ad-lib. It was planned. Yeah, you're probably right. You can see the squibs blowing out the table legs. I don't even know what that means. It's a little like a dust pocket

you see when an explosive goes off. And you can see that on the table at the party scene. I will show you next. I will show you in episode 39. You caught me in a lie, mate. You can't keep saying I read this on IMDB because I'll already know you're lying.

I'll know you're lying right at the start of this. Came in hammering tongs on that little fib. Well, I didn't know why you made me write down keeping James Taylor. Now I'm disappointed you did. You used me. I didn't use you. Hey, um...

What else we got? I wrote down Sandler goes to town on his free pass from tommy kevin art which is true because fuck adam sandler's character is such a dick like lenny fader gets given this get out of free jail card get out of jail free free jail well it's a free jail so you can i guess I guess, leave whenever you want. You come in, leave. The clue's in the name. It's already a prison. I mean, it's kind of misleading. It's oxymoronic.

It's like that guy who just bailed. He's in New Zealand's maximum security prison, and they were letting him out for like three days a week, and he just left and went to Chile. That's fucking crazy. But then he went to like the world's worst prison, and I think he instantly regrets the decision he made. Yeah. Bad times, bro. Real bad times. We're not usually a topical podcast.

No, sorry. So, Sandler gets in a fight with Stone Cold Steve Austin, completely of his own making and really unnecessary. They're grown men. There's no need for it. It's just how things go down in Stanton, Connecticut, is that you settle your beefs with fisticuffs. When you're Lenny Fader, maybe.

Quite literally the whole town is involved in a fight. Moments after. Yeah, that's true actually. That's a good point. That's a good point, Monty. So the star called Steve Austin or Tommy Kavanaugh goes, just thwack me on the chin and I'll go down like a sack of potatoes. So he's going to do a Hollywood.

He's going to take the fall for him so he can look like the man in front of his son. And the whole town. Yeah, but it's like this discussion. It's for the son, yeah, yeah. It's about looking like a big man in front of his son. For Sandler, at his own personal embarrassment. And so fucking Sandler takes this free pass and just... Milks it.

Milks it to the extreme just as yelling and stone cold steve austin's face chest beating just an absolute moron about it like have a little fucking dignity bro this guy has reached out an olive branch to you and you've no but he's got it you've got it on fire he's got to sell it you know this is what this is what lenny fader i'm just in as Lenny Fader right now, he's like, okay, Stone Cold's giving me a free pass, but I've got to... He's not calling him Stone Cold.

Kavanaugh gave me a free pass, but I've got to sell it. I can't, you know, like, I can't do it in character. But he can't let the fact that he's... He can't communicate the fact that he knows he's going to get away with anything to the crowd. I don't think that's his motivation there. I don't think it's that he's selling the moment. I think it's that he's being opportunistic

and an arsehole. Do you think that when he was acting that scene, Adam Sandler thought about it as much as we just did when we were talking to each other? There's no question that he did not. And where does that leave us? Well, I guess more contemplative about Adam Sandler's acting choices

than he is himself, you know? But quite specific acting choices. He probably thinks more about his general career direction and like the movies he chooses, not specific throwaway scenes. The bummer about all this is, Monty, and I'm talking broadly about the podcast in general now, is that Adam Sandler literally got tens of millions of dollars for the film and we have spent more time working with it.

Yeah. And we get no money. But we knew that from the outset. I had a funny thought recently where it was like, if, let's say, anything ever became of either of us or this podcast and then Adam Sandler, surely one day, if we got big enough that someone put a question then Adam Sandler surely one day if we if we if we got big enough that someone put a question to Adam Sandler was like what do you think about that and Adam Sandler

could be like I made those guys yeah we'd be one but he doesn't he'd be like yeah I fucking made those guys they would be nothing without me he's never like I haven't ever seen him like that in his interviews though he seems like a real nice guy yeah um because he could claim that with a lot of people like peter dante he probably made him that's a big thing about him he's always he's always been a good guy he always gets his boys on the films yeah man and he doesn't gloat about it in interviews he's not like we actually also during the movie we sang one of his songs together piece of car. We got a piece of shit car. A fucking pile of shit. It never gets me very far.

Oh, fuck your car. My car is a fucking piece of shit. All the brakes are fucking shut. It's a piece of shit car. He does it way better. I can't remember the rest of the words. I remember listening to that. It's a real of shit car. He does it way better. I can't remember the rest of the words. I remember listening to that. It's a real good song, man.

It was quite, and it was a nice moment remembering. That was, do you know for that, like that song is a real moment in time for me because it was when I think LimeWire was real big

or maybe even Napster. And I remember downloading it on like Napster or like like a Ridge OG P2P music pirating shit. Yeah, yeah. That was a real... The first ships, bruh. Counterstrike was big, you know.

I remember it. It was the summer of 99. Counterstrike was big. Napster was on the internet. And I was going to go on my first date with the prettiest girl in school, Erica Barbuski. That was your summer in 1999. Yeah, man. Barbuski really came into Orion in that summer.

Yeah. Really came into Orion. As an 11-year-old. Now, there's one part of the podcast which we have failed to explore this week so far, Guy Montgomery. And we really should go exploring on the steve buscemi real sing-songy podcast um it's ever since i bought Roll up for the mystery tour Real sing-songy podcast.

It's ever since I bought these handheld mics, man. We've just been getting into a real karaoke vibe. Okay. Now, you were going to take the helm on this one because last week I really picked up the slack, particularly on this segment where I posited that Steve Buscemi was a time traveller who kicked his own arse

after seeing him fooling around with his girlfriend. That's a pretty good theory. Unlikely thing is Grown Ups 2 is a pretty vanilla sort of comedy. I don't know how it would have gone on the sci-fi in the first one. We've been thrown out. The first Grown Ups was a real intense sci-fi. A real banging sci-fi film. And then the sequel is just like a standard family comedy.

And the third one's going to be a western. Genuine western. I quite like that. Okay, so... So what has happened to Steve Buscemi? We'll have to explain. We do explain every week. The Steve Buscemi Mystery Tour is a part of the podcast

where we try to guess what happened to him in the first movie, which is referenced in the second film, which caused him to have significant spinal... I think we've kind of established it's spinal injuries. He's got nerve damage or something. 40% feeling in my body. Yeah. And his hands have been in a cast,

like in the touchdown position for a long time. Steve Buscemi was shopping... No. What's his name? Wiley. Wiley. Wiley was shopping at Kmart. Of course. Quick shout out at Kmart. Of course.

Quick shout out to Kmart. You know what I love to do when I've hit the gym at Gold's and I've got myself a little slice from Blaze? Head on over to Kmart to see all the bargains. Yeah, yeah. Maybe grab a Rockstar Energy drink on the way. I wish all of these products that we're naming were actually paying us to name them.

That's so good. I'd feel like Adam Sandler. Anyway, yeah, so he's going for a shop in Kmart, and he's looking around at the exercise equipment because he wants to get in shape. He knows that he feels like him and his wife, Sherry, are growing apart. Her name's not Sherry, whatever it is in the movie. And so he's sort of like, okay, I'm going to get in shape. I want to do something. I'm going to get in shape. I'm going to, I want to, you know,

I want to do something. I want to do something. I want to make something of myself. And he goes into the exercise area and he gets on like the treadmill and he does the treadmill for about 10 minutes. They don't put all this in the film, obviously. And he sort of gets a pretty good sweat on

and then he gets off the treadmill, he gets on, what's that weird one? It's like with the handles and the feet. It's what? Like a step, oh, like an orbit thing? Like like what lenny faded was using at kmart yeah um they're called like orbital walkers or some shit so it gets on one of those right and then adam sandler lenny faded just so happens to also be at that kmart going for a walk uh just for whatever reason he loves it there we

know that and he goes oh he sees wiley and he's like oh I'm going to give old Wiley a bit of a fright and he goes rah and Wiley in exactly the same physical gag that Adam Sandler does

in the second film sort of goes tumbling over the orbit or whatever you want to call it and in doing so I mean it's a miracle Adam Sandler didn't get injured in this

grown ups too well I've got a theory off the back of that so I'm just letting you well anyway yeah so that's how he got the injury. Adam Sandler gave him a fright when he was using the exercise gear at Kmart,

trying to win the love of his wife back. In another reference to... Spice up the relationship. In another reference to the cycle of bullying, which is oft referenced, but never quite understood in this film, it's this perpetuating thing where Kevin James did it to Adam Sandler,

Adam Sandler had done it to Wiley. Yeah, you got it. Now, here's my theory about that, if that's true. And I want to assume it is, at least for seven days until I see the film again. At least for another two minutes until this podcast ends. Does that make Lenny Fader, like, superhuman? Did you hear that cat Yeah I heard that cat No one listening could hear the cat

Which is why we shouldn't have referenced the cat The cat next door had kittens under someone's deck And the neighbour came around and said Hey your cat's bloody Had kittens under my deck And we were like that's not our cat It just hangs out here I remember you guys were really nervous at this flat That it was going to have the kittens yeah two pregnant cats

that just hang out here bro and i did not want them birthing inside the house yeah disgusting what's wrong with a cat birthing in your house i just figured there's probably a lot of fluids and i don't know it's not something i want to deal with placenta does a cat eat the eat its own placenta god i'm not sure dogs do it's good for their coat tom cruise ate suri cruises ate uh the placenta from the birth of suri did he yeah is that part of the scientology yeah i think so i think it's part of the tom cruise beliefs shit man could you do it eat the placenta a little placenta polenta i't know. What if you fried it up with some other stuff? I wouldn't really. I might do it, but I don't see why.

Yeah. I don't want to do it. I think back in the day, and I'm talking tribal times, there was a lot of beliefs that it gave you power. Yeah, I can see that. It's fucking weird, man. New life, you know? Yeah, but you shouldn't eat.

You can see there's such a strong connection between that and new life i don't want to regenerate you i want to take this podcast to a really blue place especially when we're just wrapping up but don't eat something that comes out of a vagina you know that's not for eating i reckon it's not that is just not a good way to conclude the podcast. No, it's not. Well, we're not concluding it yet. It's a disaster. So let's pull it back. Lenny Fader, superhuman? Possible. Because that going over the exercise machine that he does go over, like... Yeah, and not getting injured.

Jumping off the cliff and not getting injured. And also, maybe that's why he thinks it's real funny when he kills Nick in the school bus. Because he doesn't appreciate that other people aren't superhuman he doesn't understand mortality maybe his power is that he is both superhuman and he can make other people temporarily superhuman so he can execute really incredible um acts of violence against them anything's possible tim imagine that it's like with superman right his power can extend to things that are within i think it's an inch of his body that's why when he grabs like lois lane or whatever and wraps the cape around her she's kind of like bulletproof a little bit in the old comics i haven't read close enough to superman

if you're close enough to superman you kind of you get the and lenny fader is channeling superman lenny fader has a bit of that going on i just got one shining light to do before it's game over. And it was just a bit of extra acting that really did well. Kevin James, when he does his last burp snart of the film, when he finds out his son is brilliant on the piano, a real prodigious pianist, he goes, my boy's a genius. And then he does a burp snart and he goes,

your dad's also a genius and walks out of frame uh and behind kevin james are two extras who just do the best job of selling disgust just looking like this guy a woman yeah this guy is an animal like this this guy should not be fathering that child the way he behaves is offensive awesome and it was really well sold just a little shot there that's great kind of frame my shining light was when uh same scene actually the party scene which occupies about 40 of the film so that's no surprise peter dante in the skis on the roof oiled up and nothing but his underwear um riding on top of the roofs of the house and when he's shooting his gun he's shooting down into the crowd when he kicks off yeah i like the reckless abandon with which yeah yeah yeah peter dante

policeman just it's pretty easy to just angle your wrists up so you're not firing into people nah fuck that though there's no how peter dante rolls that's right okay well it's been a pleasure it's been great that's a really interesting one that one that we just did yeah thanks for being awake for the movie this week as well guy way to come to the party i i knew after last week's ever i haven't listened back to the podcast you had some mea culpa ring to do yeah this i'm this episode is going to be called mea culpa and i want everyone to know it's not my mea culpa, it's yours. See you next week. Bye-bye.
