Episode 5 of the Rob Schneider Overlooked and Undercooked
Asian Mama, Mexican Kids, Once Daily, Once Weekly Comedy Review
I'm Guy Montgomery, I'm joined as always by Tim Baird
And we have two very special guests with us today
They are the ladies of our boners of our hearts
Rose Matafayo and Alice Neddon. Welcome along.
How are you both?
I'm great.
Thank you so much for having me.
Awesome.
Didn't Guy do a good job on that introduction?
Because I feel like our brains are broken,
but it was like the second he got into it,
he just, boom.
He's a professional broadcaster.
Are you watching this special every day, are you?
For a week, yeah.
For a week?
Wow. We've seen it five times you? For a week, yeah. For a week? Wow.
We've seen it five times now.
Nice.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Jeez, okay, cool.
Why?
How many times have you guys seen it?
Just the once, actually.
Just the once, and barely, to be honest.
I mean, I don't know how you want to structure this,
but do we just start talking about it because
i mean i'm pretty done with it i i i i i have to fully admit i i kind of zoned out more it became
almost like um a meditation podcast in a sense how much i was relaxed and zoning out like it did
the exact opposite of i think what the intention was was
to engage me and instead it calmed me and relaxed me and that it felt like white noise yeah well in
fairness to you it's extremely hard to stay concentrated for a full 44 minutes 44 gorgeous
minutes only 39 of those are comedy mind. I reckon 39 is generous.
Generous as.
So we've got a couple of theories.
So I don't know.
So I guess all the listeners will be well-versed in this
because they probably have watched it as well.
So you thought he started quite strong.
I agree.
Okay.
Well, please don't put words in my mouth,
but I did say that.
But I only said that after you said about five minutes in it's
not bad yet yeah it's not bad yet five minutes in is i would fully stand by that it wasn't bad yet
and then almost as if on cue he then went into a line about he did an impression of his wife and
then in a mexican accent and then he said she's not mex, but it's fun to do the accent. Yeah. Clarification.
Is his wife Mexican?
Yes.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
Interesting.
So that was just a joke.
Oh my God.
It was a joke.
Okay.
So let's touch on accents.
Shall we? Because Alice...
Rob Schneider is not afraid to, and nor should we be.
Rob Schneider is not afraid to and nor should we be
he has empowered us all
if anything
to use any accent we want
Alice asked
the question I asked was
if you're of Asian descent does that mean
that you can do any
accent from any
Asian country
what are the rules I was talking to my new flatmate about this because
he's a filipino kiwi and uh we sort of didn't answer this question but i was like did you even
know that rob schneider is filipino like is he filipino's forgotten son and he was like no one
knows that rob schneider is filipino he has never like claimed his heritage out loud he has never kind of said the word the philippines in any media that he's made like this is a brand new thing for him
this would make the the fantastic asian mama mexican kids and if you didn't get the title
guys i just want to explain it his mama uh she is asian but his kids well they're mexican how does that work i don't know but uh
all i'm saying is if if what ethan just said is true and that he hasn't really uh made reference
to his heritage previous to this special this is his coming out party and doesn't he come out and
have a lot of fun with his heritage i mean i don't i don't know even really specifically his heritage other asian
minority heritage yeah yeah he never does it he never does a filipino kind of apart from his mom
yeah he does his mom he does korean and chinese chinese i feel like to say all of this is to
suggest there is a level of nuance in his accent work which i have not detected
i'm not drawing huge lines it's like someone it's like an impressionist saying this is george bush
hi i'm george bush and then and now i'll do my iconic al gore it's me al gore i will defend
i'm not going to defend the reasons why he does the accents yeah i will defend the accents i agree
because i honestly do think there actually is nuance in between them yeah and he does the accents but I will defend the accents. I agree. Because I honestly do think
there actually is nuance in between them
and he does think about those quite
hard. I'm not saying that
I agree that he should be doing the accents
but in terms of the quality
with which he performs them, I'd say those
are some of his strengths. Yeah.
I mean, doesn't he not?
He commits 15 minutes of time in the special
to it. I can't get past the idea that this is material that he was cutting up with on the schoolyard.
And he's insulated or coddled or successful enough that he's never had to do anything else,
never had to learn anything else.
And so it's like he's finally got the special.
You're not going to not commit to tape your best material across 50 years of well
where do you think well wait how many specials has he done so he was his first one on netflix
he had he had like a breakout hbo special apparently in the late 80s early 90s that
kind of helped him get snl that launched the rob schneider we know but outside of that i don't think
between like say 1990 and now
he's not put out comedy i actually don't think he's been performing comedy i don't think
no like he's got the sort of he can't tell he's got the presence or confidence of someone who
believes that they can do it but like it's it's not a cohesive presentation
yeah i what he has which i i actually like the most about his performance style,
is that level of self, like the insecure level of it,
where you can see it.
And if you do comedy, I think it might be naked to the...
Civilian eye.
Civilian eye.
But to bore down into his soul you can see these hints of
deep sadness and sort of like um going oh my god should i be here like do i deserve this
am i is is this material good enough am i losing them and and you can feel that and that is actually
the most compelling element of the special.
I know you've only seen it once,
but can you remember any moments where, like,
you really got the sense that Rob was feeling all at sea
and needed to quickly grab a life raft of an Asian locality to send up?
Well, no, because I think so much of it was just like,
I mean, Americans possess, American comedians particularly,
possess this utter confidence in whatever they're saying is important or, I mean, good,
or a good enough quality to, you know.
And God bless for that.
And God bless them.
And that's how they've got to today.
And that's why the country's doing so well.
Yeah, those darling sweeties.
And there were moments of humanity, I think, where he genuinely laughed at something.
And it sort of, no, there was like one moment.
There was one moment.
There is one moment where he sincerely laughs at what's happening.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Which one is it?
It's the.
I've got it written down somewhere.
Oh, no, no.
It's when he puts the microphone up his top and he makes it look like a boner.
And then he goes, oh, that looked awful.
Yeah, he does enjoy that.
That was the moment of humanity.
That was the moment of humanity where he goes, oh, man.
Oh, gross.
I think he's visibly hating it.
I think it's one of the most joyless performances I've seen.
I disagree.
I actually think that he was loving it.
And I will say this, this though but I do feel like
his insecurity got the better of him and there's a clear turning point in the show when he brings
out the piano player I think that's a sign that that is a man who has lost his confidence because
it doesn't even feel like that was a pre-planned decision it feels like that's something where he's
gone I'm gonna have the piano on stage and if if I need it, just if I need it,
I'm not sure we're going to do it,
but if I feel that we need it,
then let's engage the piano player.
I'll have a pianist on standby.
Creating a special when you have...
You know how Dylan Moran is famous for coming on stage
where he's got a glass of red water
and a cup of coffee and a cup of tea?
Have you heard that?
The red water. Show accoutrement. So the red water and a cup of coffee and a cup of tea. If you had that with just... The red water.
Show accoutrement.
So like the red water.
What did I say?
Red water.
Red water.
The sweet, sweet red water.
Red, red water.
This little sweet boy doesn't want to believe anyone's drinking alcohol on stage.
Absolutely not.
What's that sweet little raspberry drink he's got?
He's got that burgundy cordial.
Do you know, it's such an odd choice to have red wine on stage, I reckon.
Really?
Why?
Fuck yeah.
He's got a black.
Because I don't really like have a sip of red wine and feel like hydrated or ready to go.
I have a sip of red wine and i go okay it's time for tv
like it's not a performance drink god you've never ever said okay it's time for tv
i've never seen you sup on that gorgeous claret and and and announce to the room okay it's time
for tv watch out because it's, it's time for TV.
Watch out because it's going to start happening.
Let's turn on the boob tube and see what's going on.
I love your idea that Rob Schneider is confident in doing this to the point that he can go out there and start without any support
but then is also so insecure that he has a pianist on standby,
his daughter on standby, a string quartet on standby.
And what else do we think Rob Schneider has waiting in the wings?
What unused props and sort of escape routes?
Well, that's why the daughter, first of all,
was so reluctant to sing with him,
because she knew that she was only going to come out
if it went bad and he ran short.
So that's why she's coming out and she's like,
oh, Dad, I'm sorry it didn't work out.
I reckon they had Kevin Nealon with a shepherd's crook side of stage. so that's why she's like coming out and she's like oh dad i'm sorry it didn't work out you know
i reckon they had um kevin nealon with a shepherd's crook uh side of stage ready to
ready to uh pull him pull off him and his daughter his whole family i think they had um a video from
adam sandler of a message wishing him well that they were going to chuck out on a projector if he
had anything to do with it if he if adam sandler had provided any materials for that special you you know that they would be
in the special yeah adam sandler demanded he pay for the cameo i reckon that i reckon that um rob
schneider wanted to do a tribute to chris farley but then he saw adam sandler's one and he was like
fuck all right he had to can his at the last minute. Were they tight? Oh, no, it was Spade, right?
Spade and he were real tight.
He was probably adjacent.
Spade should do a special just so he can die now on that, maybe.
Spade should have been there for his friend.
I reckon Rob Schneider definitely invited David Spade,
and David Spade didn't show up to the record.
I thought you meant that David Spade should have been there for Farley,
and not let him die.
Oh, God. Jesus Christ. No christ no no god bless david spade i think we've got the same birthday actually
um but i uh i have a theory about the pianist and that is and that this is my madcap conspiracy
theory right but i think the pianist because i God, that's going to be a nightmare for editing, surely, with the special.
So I reckon it was that Rob Schneider knew that he was going to go under, knew that he did not have enough material for an hour-long stand-up special.
Running a tight 44, including a fucking song.
So 39.
song so 39 so he knew that this elongated piece of routine they they they didn't want any cuts to it so he purposely brought on the piano so they couldn't cut around it otherwise it would
have been a nightmare for audio continuity that is completely what's happened you're a genius
absolutely yeah i can't
remember who it was but i remember reading there was a comic who used to do that who like had
musical accompaniment for his specials for that exact reason so his yeah they couldn't edit around
it i definitely think that's what's happened i think it's i think it's true i think because
it's his weaker portion his weaker portion is the middle 20 minutes at you too which is not on the
special but something we figured out so consequentially i read an article about rob
schneider's wife and i did the math and it turns out they met when he was 41 and she was 17
okay first of all that's cool and legit.
Next question.
Is it legit?
Those were my two questions, Alex.
Is it legal?
Is it cool?
And is it legit?
Is it legal?
It's legal.
16 is the age of consent, isn't it?
Oh, then fine. Not in America.
Not in most states.
Most states it's 18.
Or did he meet her in Mexico or America
and are the ages of consent different in each country
I'm going to assume
It depends what state you're in
I think California might be 16 though
Is it legal? That's a question mark
Is it legit? Hell yeah my brother
41 and 17
I can't get past it
And we want that to be reflected in legislation
okay it's legit it's too legit to quit and we need that supported by this podcast becomes a
big supporter of lowering the age of consent to 16 just so that rob schneider can can live for
the record that will that will be earmarked as the episode that you two appeared on is when we started driving for this change.
Alice, you dismissed the second half of the special as the weaker half.
I sort of have it divided into the first half
is all of his great accent work and sort of racial observations.
And then the second half...
Don't forget molesting his mother-in-law.
Oh, yeah, that bit was a real highlight.
And can I tell you, I genuinely enjoyed that bit
because I worried that the punchline of the joke
was going to be that it was his daughter.
So from that sense, I was absolutely relieved.
Rob Schneider has declared
he's not molesting his daughter.
Yeah, well, because he'd done a bit previously about his daughter
sleeping in his bed so i was like oh no here we go this is gonna be some dark actually this is a
pro a positive i drew from the special today is that i really quite i quite admired his physicality
of his uh seven-year-old daughter you know yeah arguing her case to to get into their bed because
of her nightmare i thought that was a strong bit that was a strong bit. That was a strong bit from Rob
I thought. You guys have got a
totally different take. You're giving
him a lot of props for different jokes here.
Can you maybe walk me through your top three
Rob Schneider bits and then one
bit that you thought was either just
unacceptable or no good.
I liked
the dinosaur bit with the kid.
This is all relative to the other material in the special,
let it be known.
This is not ranking it as compared to other comedians
and their jokes.
I'm purely ranking it as compared to other jokes
within the special.
What did you say to me?
I think you should compare it to other jokes.
I'm not going to do that.
The see what happens from the mountain. Agreed, yeah. I think you should compare it to other jokes and other people, you know, I'm not going to do that. Um,
the,
see what happens from the mountain.
Yeah.
Great.
Yeah.
Do you know why that,
do you know why that joke works?
I've been thinking about that because the actual,
the premise of existence side of his garbage is nothing, but it works because the mic technique is really strong.
And also it's like really strong.
The bit is reminiscent of what you would see in sort of a rob schneider
early 2000s comedy where it's like you can actually visualize it it's quite a cinematic joke
it's quite it's quite jackass happy gilmore vibes you know uh in that physicality which is and then
this i did not enjoy the bit but i liked the gall to take on the me too movement underscored by the piano so that
they can't they can't change anything he says he says bring the piano out i've got some shit
yeah yeah yeah i enjoyed that i was like someone's got to speak to this you know the pig potential
bit is so devastating to me because it like there's a level of self-awareness that rob schneider has about what
a piece of shit he is which is fine and groovy and cool but it's the fact that he projects it
onto the entirety of the male he's like well everyone sucks as much as i do it's like i was
with you and now you've got my boy hashtag not all men to bat coming it is honestly so dire though
to think that i mean that is how his brain probably works like you're either an ago or a
hottie yeah and that will how he treats you will depend on that well you know what this is though
i okay so i think this is a condition of i mean i'd say'd say in my standup, I, I, I feel similar in that it's a contradiction in terms to announce that you're a
piece of shit and announce that self-awareness,
but then later in the special,
the later in a show,
then start to say like,
just make these hot takes as if anything you say as a piece of shit,
it's illogical.
Do you know what I mean?
Like to believe that these things are important or true or you're making these universal um uh sort of inarguable
statements when really you're if you did it in the reverse order as well that works way better
because it's like he's coming out speaking truth to power in a way that only rob schneider can
but then slowly like kind of devolves into vulnerability
but this is just like i have no credibility and now here's what i think about the world there's
some logical inconsistencies in his point of view on the world because his opening bit is about how
disinterested he is in sex and then throughout the special he is bemoaning the fact that his wife
won't have sex with him can i speak so i was after this? So I was like, what do you want?
Do you want sex or do you not want sex?
Because the message is unclear.
I think that his idea of what men want and what women want in relationships is,
you know, women want relationships, men want sex.
Very common kind of, you know, know take especially in comedy and stuff and and it's always
this really depressing take of these men who are and i it hasn't clicked to me until today
all of these men talk about these women who are don't that there's this idea that women don't
want sex and sex is a nuisance to them and they want other things but i've realized that it's the that no
one has ever wanted to have sex with rob schneider and i think that's his experience is that he's
never perhaps he's never gone for a woman who really wants to have sex with him so he's constantly
in this holding pattern of constantly going for these women who are perhaps unattainable or or um
physically or aesthetically are maybe considered um more attractive than him um and more beautiful
so he's constantly like you know shooting for the stars and then getting these women
who are kind of almost repulsed by him and so his entire idea of like sex his is this warped kind of form of it and
what he needs to do is find someone who would be fucking stoked with having sex with rob schneider
but it's because he has been poisoned by the ideals of beauty and the expectations especially
particularly in america of what attractiveness is and he'll never be happy and never have like
that positive sexual experience so this is such a generous read on what has created rob schneider
maybe it's generous maybe it's too generous this is like the the joker level society is the real
villain of the rob god yeah maybe i am maybe i'm a men's right no no i think i there was a real
melancholy that i saw in that i think your point can be true and
rob schneider can still be a piece of shit totally i agree yeah yeah i i i totally agree with the
idea that like because it is it does it touches all of his material and his outlook is like it is
it is this binary men yeah love sex he loves titties. He loves, you know, all of that stuff.
Except when they're in the way of bloody cookies.
Can we also explore the logic of that bit?
It's been driving me nuts.
He says, I'm at an age now,
I couldn't believe this was his opener.
I'm at an age now where I'm more interested in cookies than sex.
He goes, what's that cookie?
And then he enters some sort of contract with someone where he sex because what's that cookie and then he enters
some sort of contract with someone what's that cookie underneath your tit yeah two of the cookies
under your tit please thank you where is he getting these cookies who is he talking to
wait i have zero idea and i don't think i, in my mind, the cookies were on like a kitchen island bench and a woman was naked in front
of them.
And he was asking her to move out of the way,
but I did not realize that they were like under her breast,
which is an enormous pair of breasts in order to fit like a,
Oh,
I could probably actually,
I could put a cookie under my boobs.
I could put one of those ones,
you know,
the cookie time sells in the boxes for charity.
The mini ones.
I reckon I'd get a full Afghan under there.
Full, full-size cookie time.
I could get a full-size cookie time under my right and then a few little charity ones under my left.
Or maybe an aeroplane one,
the ones they give you on the plane.
Yeah, I could definitely get an aeroplane cookie under my breast under my breast international listeners and afghan is a biscuit in new zealand that i
don't think exists anywhere outside of australia it really doesn't it really doesn't that's a legit
thing to call it though right isn't that yes because of the i've looked into it afghan hound
okay all right sick all right fuck it's always a close call isn't it it is
biscuits and titties it's a strong way to show up to our afghan community alice has come on here
championing lowering the age of consent and just throwing around inspired by rob perhaps all sorts
of crazy colloquial terms for biscuits and people i will say this about the special it makes me as a mostly
gay woman depressed at the thought of having a wife because they just sound awful yeah always
they sound so bad i've never watched a special and walked away from it going like can't wait to have a wife
that that's what makes me want to be straight or just like pursue that path more within the special
when he's trying to paint his wife and indeed all women as these intolerable shrews who just try and
trap you in a relationship so that they can suffer through it his wife comes across as somewhat of a
sympathetic character like his wife in his jokes where he's bad mouthing his wife comes across as somewhat of a sympathetic character like his wife in his jokes
where he's bad mouthing his wife she's doing so much of the domestic work around the house she's
like getting the kids ready for the party providing for the party he is self-aware enough to be like
he's on his phone the whole party this is her reason for not wanting to have sex with him which
is like she has to articulate a reason instead of saying i don't want to have sex with you because
i find you repulsive and this entire relationship is a
nightmare for me it's just like it's crazy the way that he sort of he just he sways and falls
over both sides of self-awareness where it's like if he could actually leave his body and his
experience of the world and see the version of himself that he's presenting i think he would
understand how unlikable he is.
But instead, he's inside of it.
And so he's presenting all this information
as though he's actually a charming cad.
He's so close to getting it.
And this is what I was trying to articulate before,
is that if he stopped short at universalizing
what a piece of shit he is to everyone else,
there, that's the special.
That's great. that's what you
want i'm a fucking massive asshole let me tell you some stories about that that's great i'll watch
that for 44 minutes musical interlude but it's when you go the world sucks because everyone's
like me it's like they're not you just suck rob i think i think this that he belongs to a very
unique uh subset of american comedians of a certain
generation which includes rob schneider includes adam sandler includes ray romano it includes so
it's it's what it is it's it's these um intel i'd say intelligent men who are deeply sensitive and
i'd say artistic struggling with the fact that they are self-aware at their own unimportance in this
universe and their own kind of failures as a human, but they are, they cannot resist the compulsion
to fall into the same patterns of, of these, of this material and of the, of that world. And so
like, it's like Adam Sandler is a person who will do Don't Mess With The Zohan, but also do like
Punch Drunk Love.
And it's like he has it in him.
He has this awareness and this artistic sensibility within him,
but then he can't resist the compulsion to then do this other thing.
It's like a weird Jekyll and Hyde thing.
Sandler has an economic imperative.
He is providing for a huge number of people who he's brought along to the ride.
But Rob Schneider is the same, I think, maybe.
No, Rob Schneider's not providing for anyone.
A family!
Barely.
I think what it's important to understand is that Guy and I figured out that Rob Schneider is not getting paid for his specials on Netflix.
He's dropping the special off with a bag of money to an executive that he found to like get it on the platform in the back door but that i respect that kind of because he's a man who is like desperate to have his art seen and like
you know like to what lengths like i don't respect it like on the whole but i perhaps respect it more
than people who have been given the opportunity to like you know know, I don't know. There's some pathetic aspect of that that I go, fuck man.
All right.
He needs to get some of those out.
Okay.
You're calling his art.
He needs to get it out.
I understand that.
I love where Rose is at.
I love this.
I want you to imagine watching this material either by Rob Schneider
or some nameless comedian of his age at a live show they could have a british accent they could have a
new zealand accent they could have an american accent i want you to imagine this material being
performed at a show you're on and you're like i haven't seen this person i'm going to engage i'll
watch it i want you to visualize being is our day-to-day experience with
all stand-up comedy there is there is barely anything that differentiates rob schneider's
material and what he was doing on stage to some of the stand-up comedians that we are literally we
are we know well we've known for years we are we would actually go as far to say they're friends
or acquaintances.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, you put yourself in that position.
If that wasn't Rob Schneider, that could be any person that you perhaps were chummy with in a green room.
And there's, like, I think that there, I mean, his material is shocking.
What are you saying is that we're overwhelmed by bad comedy?
Yes.
Absolutely.
What you're saying is that we're overwhelmed by bad comedy?
Yes, absolutely.
But can you not control that as you move up through the,
as you spend more time and you can kind of curate who you perform with and who you perform around?
Can you not?
Oh my God, please think of the lineups
that you're on all the time.
And you would not endorse every comedian
with who you share a lineup with.
Yeah.
But the percentages are moving towards that
yeah sure i i have a very
rose is a comedy auteur i'm not a comedy author i've got i'm i'm a i'm a comedy like
uh truther no i have so much well you know this i have so much, well, you know this, I have so much really, and it's a problem, love for pathetic men.
True.
And a lot of aroha.
You have a lot of aroha.
For pathetic men, because I think that, because I fundamentally believe women are better than men.
So that a pathetic man is the most pathetic you can get.
Do you know what I mean?
Do you know what I mean?
A pathetic man is so much more tragic than a pathetic woman.
Yes, I do believe that.
And so it's this utter pity that I think, and especially in stand-up.
My heart breaks for male stand-up comedians.
When they're failing because they've got everything on their side.
When they're failing this hard, you're like, you had everything.
And you blew it.
That's why men don't want to recognize their own privilege.
Because to admit that you had privilege admits that you had everything going for you.
And you still came up short.
100%. It's a scary position to be in
can we talk about
Elle
King and what were your thoughts on it
we loved it
we loved it
highlight of the show
did you like it for the flow of the special
did you feel like it made sense
I thought it was the flow of the special? Did you feel like it made sense? I thought it was the natural ending,
the natural culmination of all of the material we'd heard preceding it,
where he hates his wife, he hates his kids,
he hates his family, he's ugly, he never gets laid.
So what that means is let's hear a beautiful song from him and his daughter.
From an earlier, from a failed marriage,
let's hear a beautiful song from him and his daughter from from an earlier from a failed marriage um his grown daughter who still loves him despite it all like i felt like his daughter
watching that you know what i mean yeah i thought it was actually a beautiful moment yeah and i
wondered how much she got paid and that's a really good question guy and i were um having we chat live as we watch on this like add-on thing and um we were
striking it's struck on the point today that you can tell that those two have been through a lot
and um the fact that al is only one year younger or maybe less than his current wife who he has
two kids with oh really yeah and i feel like you can see that on stage like you can read this relationship and
the heritage and the layers and the interventions and they're like running away and they're coming
together there's like there's no one doesn't touch l king yeah and when she's not a lot of
physical comfortability or affection between them at all she actually reaches across l to her rob
and get the mic and say hello and
there's a it's real frosty between those two but then but then al does love her step siblings i
think yeah i think she's got a lot of love for them yeah i think al's a decent person i'd say
that we can also do what was really really beautiful was i think the oldest daughter's
miranda is that right the seven year old she gives rob such a tight hug like she is so proud
of her dad for having done this thing i could really feel i mean listen a lot of people have
turned up to see him do this comedy show and they're having a bloody good time recorded
moments before like this was recorded while covid19 was impacting the world but moments
before that sort of mass gathering was not just like immoral but illegal in the state of utah wow it's
it's recorded in utah salt lake city baby the comedy capital the comedy capital
the comedy capital they bloody love that he had three wives in utah
he's only got no they only like it if you have them
simultaneously Alice
huge mistake on my behalf
not sequentially, take that
fundamentalist Mormons
not other Mormons
we're going to need to
wrap this up I'm so sorry to say
is there anything
honestly that's totally fine
I would love to get final closing thoughts and ratings.
Okay, final thoughts and ratings.
Do you want to go first, Alice?
Yeah, final thoughts.
I reckon, as a rule of thumb, in any comedy bit or special,
if you have to tell the audience why a joke is not racist,
odds are the joke is racist.
So that's just one of my final thoughts.
And a rating, I'm going to give it...
I'm going to give it out of 10,
I'm going to give it three.
Three Rob Schneiders.
Thanks, Alice. Counterpoint though
before Rose goes
what if it isn't racist and it is accurate
though?
Hadn't thought about that. Well then we find ourselves in an
intellectual pickle.
Quite the quandary.
Sorry Rose. I am going gonna give it a very generous four
out of ten even though i zoned out for most of the special um because i believe that i mean
very rarely i think any standard specials are 10 out of 10 and i know that he has sadness, sadness in his heart.
That's so true.
I feel like it's punching down, you know, do you know what I mean?
On Rob Schneider because he's not.
That is the question that we haven't asked this season,
but we do on every Overlooked and Undercooked is,
are we punching down onto Rob Schneider?
So it's amazing that you bring that up.
I feel like we're punching down onto Rob schneider this is his space obviously done illegally in
times but like he's just putting something out there and and it and it is and some of it's
absolutely shit and absolutely like the wrong take on stuff but also look i just don't think
oh i just i think i like rob schneider Imagine being a part of the Rob Schneider cluster.
I'll give it half a star out of five again.
Tim, yours?
So one out of ten.
I just want to thank so much our two guests for coming on.
It's always so much fun to hang out with Rose and Alice,
and we had planned to do it in a more fun way,
where us and and we were
going to go do karaoke it was going to be real fun and then lockdown fucked us and it's been robbed
away from me um but i've also really enjoyed like the humanity that rose has extended and it it's
honestly it's filled my heart with a different perspective on rob and like people
of rob's ilk and i think it is it's a very like kindness forward approach yeah that's so nice i
will just say though when you have two guests on a show i wouldn't single out one for enjoying what
they've brought to the podcast i would try and give compliments that apply to both of them he
was about to say something
so you just ruined your show
I was just going to support Tim's point
it's been a real pleasure having Rose on
we have had the conclusion of these
we have been recommending alternative comedy specials
that people should watch instead of this
we actually forgot to
on the last couple of episodes
Rose you've had a shout out
but Alice I've been really enjoying
Alice has got a fantastic show
it's available internationally
on YouTube. It's called Alice Nen's
Bad News. She takes
big topics and somehow, can you imagine
this? She makes them fun and funny
while also being informative. Oh my god, get
fucked.
So please check that out. It is fucking
sensational. Thank you.
It's such a good show. So much for listening.
Two more episodes to go
