Starting point is 00:00:00 I sort of remember this, the start of this episode, how to say, Tim caught me sleeping. He let me sleep, which is quite magnanimous, given how he sometimes treats me otherwise in the podcast. But this is, I would say this is a dated episode. There's probably, you's probably a trigger warning about our mental state at the start where Tim sort of discusses offing himself due to fatigue and exhaustion. And then he wakes me up and gets me to start podcasting with him.
Starting point is 00:00:42 And I feel like we're kind of whispering the whole episode. and gets me to start podcasting with him. And I feel like we're kind of whispering the whole episode. But, you know, we're shouting out such cultural luminaries in the year 2014 as Kevin Spacey and Louis C.K. We spend a bit of time trying to remember the name of James Lipton, R.I.P. And even start speculating about the name Malcolm Tucker, which if you listen along and can't figure out who it is, Malcolm Tucker is Peter Capaldi's character in The Thick of It,
Starting point is 00:01:12 which is an Armando Iannucci sort of satire show from the UK, sort of a forebear for Veep, same creator. Yeah, I mean, it's sort of a power a powerfully dated episode but otherwise it's got all the hallmarks it's got your p schwartz's it's funny listening to it thinking we're gonna get a tattoo of this guy i'm gonna dm this guy on twitter this guy's gonna have a big career in 10 years uh espusimi chris rocks put out top five it's a bit of correspondence. It's all sort of going this episode, really. It's a humble episode, but it's got a sort of strong core. It's been doing lots of prone holds or whatever exercise it is that strengthens your core.
Starting point is 00:01:58 What do you need me to tell you about it? You're going to listen. Hello and welcome to the worst idea of all time, episode 32. We've just watched the movie again, sort of. um to be honest with you guys i want to cry um i've been a volunteer phone counselor at yes line before i've been touched by depression people in my life but i really want to kill myself at this point i don't want to make too light of that but i'm feeling suicidal um guy's pegged out he's been asleep through the whole movie and i think he might just be coming to now
Starting point is 00:02:50 how are you guy let me let me give you a mic let me mic you up gee boy i'm going good you're looking pretty um pretty sleepy there my friend so let me tell you about my movie watching experience Guy put it on big fella put it on and on you've been in the land of nod for a little while so let's get your engine warmed up before I throw your head first
Starting point is 00:03:15 so this was watch 32 we've got 20 to go and I feel really sad about the project and about what we've got to do from here on out. Well, it was a sugar-coated viewing that you put on yourself, wasn't it? I mean, you came in, you relaxed, you were in a good mood, too good probably.
Starting point is 00:03:39 It was all right. And I feel like time's really just gone whizzing by and suddenly here we both are. Yeah. That's generally what happens when you fall asleep though. Time tends to get a bit distorted. The concept of time gets distorted, but time itself actually is constant.
Starting point is 00:03:55 It is, yeah. That doesn't change. It's a perception. It's a perception that changes. So look, we've got a lot of business to get through. We've got a lot to get through. I want to bring up, because people have been very generous with, um, listen, people have been very, I don't understand why anyone's listening to this podcast to be honest, but there's a few people who are sending us messages, which I like getting.
Starting point is 00:04:18 There's been sort of times and days and feelings when I felt like that too, Tim, but by and large, I actually feel pretty positive about the whole operation most of the time. That's good. That's a good thing. Except when you're watching the movie though, right? Well, in fairness to the film, there was a moment earlier when I did feel like this isn't so bad.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Do you remember what the moment was? Not at all. That's pretty much the last thing I remember before you woke me up and said, hey, we're doing this. Because I think the only fair thing to do now would be we're going to have to tack one on where I'm asleep. It feels like the only fair way to even it up, you know? Yeah. Don't you think?
Starting point is 00:05:01 Yeah, I wouldn't do that to you. And namely myself. I wouldn't do that to you. And namely myself. I wouldn't do that to myself. I haven't brought this up before, but what we're doing reminds me a lot of the Milgram experiment. What's the Milgram experiment? I think they're doing like the 60s where they would get two sets of actors and one of the actors played the role of doctor.
Starting point is 00:05:21 So they would wear a white lab coat and have a clipboard and they had a defined script that they could say um and then the other actor would be behind a glass booth connected to what looked like a series of electrodes to their body and they get a volunteer off the street to um the facade was for the volunteer off the street was that they were trying to test for people i think it's like their psychic abilities so they would hold up a card that was facing the wrong way and say what symbol is on this card it'd be like it's a triangle and if they got it wrong they got shocked they got electrocuted and the level at which they got electrocuted kept increasing if
Starting point is 00:05:56 they got it wrong yeah but it was the volunteer off the street who who kept shocking them so the person wasn't actually getting electrocuted they they were an actor. And the doctor, actor, all they could say to try and encourage the person to keep increasing the voltage was, the experiment requires you to continue. And they got, basically what they were trying to test is, if you have a person in authority,
Starting point is 00:06:19 could you get to a point of putting your own morality to the side so much that you end up killing another human being? And what found out is as long as it's someone else's responsibility people will basically always do that and i feel like there's an aspect of pain that we're putting ourselves through at this point we're like we're surrendering all common sense because we've set the rules down it's interesting and in depth uh i mean i really don't know what to say you laid it on pretty heavy i think it does hurt to watch like it did what i remember of watching the movie on this particular screening, I mean, there was a lethargy and pain to the fact that it was happening again and that I'd already seen it all.
Starting point is 00:07:14 I mean, again, you've come in with it very heavy. Sorry. No, it's good. I mean, it's... I feel like that's where we're at though, man. Yeah. We're in a heavy point in the project. But the experiment must continue.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Oh, look at that. You know? God, he's good. God, he's good. Fuck, he's good. Someone named David Hamilton posted on the... He's from Denton, Texas, which is cool. We've got someone listening in Texas.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Denton, Texas. That's pretty good. He's posted a thing on our Facebook group. It's an article to a cinemablend.com article about what Chris Rock was up to during the shooting of Grown Ups 2. Yeah, I saw this in passing. This is actually reasonably interesting
Starting point is 00:08:02 because we've talked about this before, haven't we? Yeah, I think we've kind of mentioned. We've talked about what Chris Rock was doing while off set, on set for Grown Ups 2. So it turns out we've got an answer to that because while Chris Rock was in his trailer, because even see, I think there's a quote from him in this article
Starting point is 00:08:21 that says like, even though he was number four on the call sheet, he was a big dog. He was important. Oh, big time time he was instrumental to the ensemble cast he was very it's critical um he didn't have a lot of lot to do so whenever he was in his trailer which was a lot of the time he was working on the script for a film that he made which has just come out called top five and it's been released at the Toronto International Film Festival
Starting point is 00:08:46 to quite solid reviews by all accounts and it's got a lot of cameos in it and Adam Sandler's in it at the end oh that's good
Starting point is 00:08:56 I love the idea that Chris Rock used that time responsibly same man yeah and like Adam Sandler kept trying to
Starting point is 00:09:05 come up with hey no working on your own projects but he still came into his movie which is
Starting point is 00:09:11 Q yeah well you gotta respect that Adam Sandler thought it was a quick cash grab from
Starting point is 00:09:17 Chris Rock I'm not agreeing to be in your fancy pants drama movie I'll only be in your comedy your family comedy i'm adam samler however he says anything yeah it's not bad uh this next message is from casey
Starting point is 00:09:38 russell um who's also posted on our facebook group casey I don't know if you're a boy or a girl, says, so I just watched the movie against your advice. And let me just come away from the message to repeat our message, which is don't watch the movie. Don't watch the movie. Don't watch the film. The message continues. I was expecting everything in the movie after listening to all the podcasts, but while watching, I was lulled into a false sense of security
Starting point is 00:10:03 that the movie was actually a decent movie. There weren't any laughs, but it wasn't too difficult to get through. I finished the movie about 10 minutes ago and I've never felt more drained in my entire life. I feel like it's taken all the good out of me and replaced it with abuse and violence and burps and these farts. I only hope more people can take your advice to heart more. That is lovely feedback.
Starting point is 00:10:26 We couldn't have warned you. But also, I mean, I've got to say, you live a life of extremes, Casey Russell. If you're like, oh, this movie's going okay, and then suddenly you feel sort of all these dark feelings, I mean, Casey's got to look at a mirror and see what's going on with Casey lately. How's Casey doing?
Starting point is 00:10:47 I mean, how are things going in Casey's home? Have you got kids, Casey? Are they happy? Are you happy with who you are? You've got to look at yourself, Casey. You've got to look at yourself. Take a bite. You've got to look at yourself, Casey. You've got to look at yourself. And think about it. I think this is a pretty good time to go into the Steve Buscemi Mystery Tour.
Starting point is 00:11:17 The Steve Buscemi Mystery Tour is coming to take us away. Coming to take you away. Coming to take you away. Take you away. So, I heard something for this. Did you want to throw anything out? No, no. I believe the onus is on you to tell me what happened to Steve Buscemi's character prior to this film that has rendered him sort of motionless in the leg department.
Starting point is 00:11:47 In the arms. But very busy in the arms. Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, okay. So I reckon he got bitten by something venomous, like probably a snake. Mmm.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Yeah, that's where I'm going with this time. Steve Buscemi's character, Wiley, was bitten by a poisonous rattlesnake in the spine. Bitten in the spine. Unfortunate place to be bitten. And I think it happened when in the first movie they were all camping together on a dusty mountain
Starting point is 00:12:19 full of rattlesnakes. Full of them. Full of rattlesnakes. of them full of rattlesnakes they call it rattlesnake mountain and if you're at the base of the mountain at night time and you close your eyes you can hear the gentle I'm buying into this the deeper you go
Starting point is 00:12:40 I think rattlesnake mountain sounds like a real thing I think that Adam sandler's family probably wouldn't cross reference their holiday destination so well yeah so they might wind up holidaying with around rattlesnake mountain that was the funny thing about the first movie they were supposed to go to disney world right you hear me yeah and um because adam sandler is too proud to use map quest or google maps or apple maps whatever his chosen provider is he's too proud um he ended up driving them off course and then the car broke down onto rattlesnake mountain and because everyone was following
Starting point is 00:13:21 adam sandler's car in the convoy situation because They were not with it. Because they were also scared of him because he yelled so much. So abusive. Oh, it's good. Yeah. So that's what happened to Steve Buscemi in the mystery tour this week, man. He got bitten by a rattlesnake on Rattlesnake Mountain in the spine. I like the Steve Buscemi mystery tour. They also conveniently led me into my next question, Tim,
Starting point is 00:13:43 which is is I mean with regards to the podcast that we're doing yeah I think you know we talk about people involved in the movie I mean if they caught wind of what was happening here in mostly in Auckland New Zealand
Starting point is 00:13:59 how do you think a lot of them would sit on it I mean how do you think say Kevin James would feel if he found out that we were doing this podcast? Kevin James would be fucking furious if he found out what we're doing. And I'd put Adam Sandler in that camp too. I think he'd be upset.
Starting point is 00:14:16 If they catch wind of this, they're not going to be cool about it. I reckon David Spade would be right with it. I feel like Chris Rock could probably see the comedy in it. I think he'd be kind of like the one who's on the fence. spade to be right with it um i feel like chris rock could probably see the comedy in it i think he'd be kind of like the one who's on the fence um i think john lovitz would be very into what we're doing here very into it yeah uh peter dante might already know what we're doing because he apparently favorited a tweet where someone was kind of talking about us, tagging us in. Yeah, yeah. So, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Maybe he's got some awareness of it. It would blow my mind if we got an opportunity to talk to Peter Dante on the podcast. Yeah, well, I mean, he's pretty busy with his job as a policeman. If you could just take a moment of your time, Peter. Guy, you know the movie's not real, eh? Well, right now, Tim, it's sort of just woven into the fabric of my mind. Yeah, that's what I'm trying to unstitch right now. Because I know normally you realise the difference between make-believe and real.
Starting point is 00:15:16 But I feel like right now, I'm not sure if you're totally distinguishing. Well, look, no, I think the jarring reality of the situation, Tim, is I'm sitting here on a couch sitting frankly uncomfortably close to you it's about 1.30 on a Wednesday night and we're fucking talking about grown ups too once a
Starting point is 00:15:36 fucking again it's like that white snake song here I go again on my own cause he fell asleep here she goes again two different songs but yeah Here I go again on my own because he fell asleep. Here she goes again. Two different songs, but yeah. You sure? Look.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Sure. Look. It's just like. Tell me. What's love got to do? Guy. Got to do. Tell me.
Starting point is 00:16:01 Can you describe exactly how you're feeling? What's love but a secondhand emotion? Ever since I got these new mics, which are handhelds, we've gotten real sing-songy. What's love? Yeah, well, they lend themselves to having a bit of a jam. I feel like a glamour puss with this microphone. I know. You look like a glamour puss. Like a glamorous pussycat.
Starting point is 00:16:21 You look like an absolute glamour puss. With a velvet purr. pussycat he looked like an absolute with a velvet purr hey speaking of a velvet purr i'm gonna show you my painting that i bought today man i bought a large painting on velvet which i didn't know was the thing of a tiger that i'm gonna put in my bedroom facing my where is it right now it's in my Just on the ground. Do you want me to get it? I mean, the podcast is essentially an oral medium, and so I don't know what value our listeners are going to get out of you wading into your lounge with this big tiger picture. All right, you know what?
Starting point is 00:16:58 We'll leave it. We'll leave it. Maybe I'll put a photo up of that later. Tigers quickly. I wrote a note in your little notebook. Did you? Oh, that's really... In big capital letters.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Yeah. It says, Mayor Rudolph, Minnie Ruperton. And this was a revelation to me. That was very exciting. So Mayor Rudolph, famous actress, comedy actress, Mayor Rudolph from television and the film and the screen. People would probably most know her from Bridesmaids, right? Yeah, and she was a regular player on Saturday Night Live.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Anyway, her mother is the very famous soul singer, Minnie Ruperton, who's well known for her range, probably best known for her song, Loving You, which was lampooned on a Southpac episode yeah and that's when she displays her her wonderful range anyway she'd be like a like a soprano what's the one i don't know she's i think she she had a five octave range i don't know what the word is. That's a lot. That's pretty Mercury territory, man.
Starting point is 00:18:11 She also sang a great song with the Rotary Connection, who are sort of a soul and funk band called Black Hole of the Sun. And like, anyway, very brilliant singer. She died at 31. Holy smokes. Of cancer, of breast cancer she's one of the early public figures to sort of speak out about having it and what an amazing body of work to have uh so and she's like by then is it well quite right so she's a marvelous marvelous singer and my rudolph's her daughter who's also sort of carved out a very good reputation for herself
Starting point is 00:18:45 and then pretty much served a sous vide turd and if you don't know what a sous vide is that's when you cook, you steam the turd at a certain temperature in a bag in boiling water. So it's in a sort of a glad bag. Like broiling? Yeah, similar, yeah. Similar to broiling a turd.
Starting point is 00:19:04 And that's what Mary Ross done here. I mean, she's married, as we've said before, to Paul Thomas Anderson, one of the sort of true auteur directors in Hollywood right now. Auteur? You might know Paul Thomas Anderson from The Master. Auteur? Do you know what an auteur is? No.
Starting point is 00:19:23 No, I don't. Some of the distinct style or like fingerprint. So if you're what an auteur is? No. No, I don't. Some of the distinct style or like fingerprint. So if you're watching an auteur, I mean, you can see Dennis Dugan. Someone is an auteur. Dennis Dugan, the director of Adam Sandler films, is an auteur of sorts. Look, this point's really gone off the rails. Do you know what's really weird? That Mayor Rudolph's mum died at 31 what's
Starting point is 00:19:47 always weird is getting above the age of where your parents died you know what i mean so mayor rudolph now would be in the late 30s at least i'd say late 30s it's probably around the mid to late 30s so it's like when you get past that age of when when your parents died there's got to be strange territory hey it's this it does got to be strange territory, eh? No, it doesn't have to be strange territory. I actually, I came to the realisation the other day, Tim, with a heavy heart, when I was flicking through the sports section of the New Zealand Herald,
Starting point is 00:20:17 that I am, I am, I'm just not going to be an All Black. Which a lot of people would argue that's something I should have already known. But like I was looking at the team list for the All Blacks and I was older than most of them and I sort of had to pause and take stock and say,
Starting point is 00:20:36 you're going to have to let that dream go. You know how non-into sports I am? I've actually had that exact same thought probably a year ago. I was looking at the squad, I think, when they were overseas. It was a match in Australia or something. I was looking at them. I was looking at they had a table with the ages on. And I was like, it can never happen.
Starting point is 00:21:02 I'll never play for the ABs. Well, I'm glad that you have had that moment because it was real. It was visceral. Totally. And it was like, I mean, I've really... It's quite sad, man. It's quite sad because there's no...
Starting point is 00:21:16 When you find out that something's impossible, that's quite a sad realisation. Yeah. It's quite disempowering. I mean, that's the thing is I just like to have the idea of it bubbling away on the back burner. Like, give up i could drop everything i'll get to it if i could i could drop everything you know as a drop of a hat so to speak and become an all black and it's just not real this seems like as good a time as any to um kick off one of my favorite segments probably my favorite segment
Starting point is 00:21:46 it's the five six seven eight patty schwartz party time patty schwartz party time is party time with patty schwartz love that um so in the movie, Growing Ups 2, there's a moment when our film's protagonists first meet the college kids at the quarry. Suicide 35 off the top rock. 35 feet above the water. My mum did that jump and she was playing with me. That's the one.
Starting point is 00:22:20 And Taylor Lautner says at one point, he gets so angry that the older men are there invading the personal space of Kappa Alpha Sigma. You guys have ruined our celebrations. That he says that his hands are shaking. And Paddy Schwartz says, yeah, my brother's hands are shaking. My brother's shaking.
Starting point is 00:22:42 And what he does at that point is he patty schwartz that is he backs away slightly he extends his fingertips into a jazz hand formation that's right and that's followed by a little hair ruffle to display for the camera and for us watching just how pissed off he is on his brother's behalf. Yeah, well, his brother was shaken. He's so mad. That's the decision he made. He's like, this is my show of solidarity.
Starting point is 00:23:11 This is me empathizing with my brother who's so angry. I'm going to take a couple steps back, throw out some jazz hands, and ruffle my own hair. Because I mean business. I'm Paddy Schwartz. I'm Paddy Schwartz. My dad is the is my dad is arnold schwarzenegger and that's something that you have to wonder is does he understand the concept of character
Starting point is 00:23:32 so does he understand that while yes he is patrick schwarzenegger and yes his father is the terminator from the movies whether or not he's managed to remove that fact from his mind during the filming of Grown Ups 2 whether or not that particular piece of information sort of permeates his entire body of work in the film. So when you're watching him do you not feel like you're looking at someone who does think that their dad is the Terminator? I don't think he's undergone that level of critical analysis
Starting point is 00:24:06 so you you don't think he's got any consideration either way no i don't i don't think i don't think it's not how the brain works not how his brain works not how petty schwartz's brain works how does his brain work what's he thinking when he's on set patty schwartz party time it's paddy schwartz party time it's party time dennis dugan keeps yelling action don't know what to do because it's paddy schwartz party time it's paddy schwartz party time it's party time with paddy stop yelling at me dennis i wanted to bring up the time seen in the supermarket when adam sandler's in there he gave me a very confirming eyebrow raise of acknowledgement like yep i know that i know that bit of that movie that you're talking about all of the bits in this movie it's after one of my favorite triumphs of this project is i know a little bit to the
Starting point is 00:25:06 movie which does not read well on a date have you been on a date recently no no okay i mean i'll go on one if you want to set me up with sure yeah yeah i've got someone i'll set you up can i okay yeah cool oh wait no no sorry no they've got a thing what they've got they've got a thing the lord the lord take it away well i'll think of someone else man i'll think of someone else this is not a good time for this conversation so they're in the supermarket and it's when kyle gets called mud stuffing because adam sandler is mixed up you fucking love this bro you love this you love this for more than no no no but this i've moved on from there this is about that bit but a different part of it so the exchange in that supermarket bit between adam sandler and kyle is like because he goes, oh, how do you know my wife?
Starting point is 00:26:07 He goes, oh, I worked her out this morning. And then Adam Sandler goes, yeah, I worked her out too pretty good. So it's kind of, he's like, oh yeah, you fucked my wife. Well, I'm slightly perturbed by that. And I would like you to know that I also had sex with her. Instead of like, are you serious? Which is a lie. You had extramarital sex with my wife
Starting point is 00:26:27 and you're just telling me to my face in a supermarket as I'm buying juice boxes for a party. Do you know what I mean? He seems very fine about it. Adam Sandler does.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Yeah. Do you think he realises like he can't, he's not smart enough to put it together that he's a yoga instructor. I'm pretty good too. Look, I think it's just a reflex in Adam Sandler but wouldn't your reflex be
Starting point is 00:26:51 I would probably I'm not a violent man I reckon I'd punch him I reckon I'd punch him in the face I don't know if he was like hey how do you know my wife oh I'm fucking in I was going to make some sort of offhand comment but I said this to you when I watched the film today.
Starting point is 00:27:07 So Adam Sandler's wife is in the movie. She plays the principal's wife. She's in the yoga room or the squat aerobics class when the instructor comes in. And the instructor says, he's telling the ladies to stop perving on him pretty much. And he's like, blah, blah. And I happen to be gay.
Starting point is 00:27:23 And everyone abuses him for being gay, except for Adam Sandler's wife, who sort of nods, like, agreeably, like, yeah, you are gay, and I'm okay with that. And she's the only person in the town who has a modicum of sort of sanity with regards to the matter. And if you are listening, Mr. Sandler, which you might be,
Starting point is 00:27:47 you might be cowering in a green shed sort of out the back of your house while Adam frantically looks around for you to offer you a role in Grown Ups 3 and you're just out here in the shed listening to us going, oh, I hope they talk about me soon. You're welcome. And here we are. And here we are. I'd like to close off the episode
Starting point is 00:28:10 with a question from Helman Cobbs, or Cobbs. How would you say it? C-O-B-S, Cobbs? Cobbs. C-O-B-S is Cobbs. Like multiple Cobbs of corn. Hi, guys. Love the podcast.
Starting point is 00:28:25 I just finished listening to all the back episodes. Brackets. Never watched the movie. See? Helman knows what's up. Heeded the advice. Question. If you could have any character from the film brought into reality to be a guest on your podcast,
Starting point is 00:28:38 which would it be and what questions would you ask them? Thank you for your question, Helman. Okay. We'll do one each, I guess, right? Real. I guess so. I guess so. Mine would be the history teacher.
Starting point is 00:28:53 I assume it's history teachers. The hippie, also the lead from Grandma's Boy, a regular Adam Sandler player, says, All right, little birds, find your nest, man. And you're so dumb. Oh summer is here man I'd like to say how did you find um Brayden Higgins as a pupil how did you find Brayden Higgins in in English his grasp of it yeah if they did create a writing course maybe I mean what sort of you find Braden Higgins in English? His grasp of it.
Starting point is 00:29:27 Yeah. If they had a creative writing course, maybe. I mean, what sort of tense did Braden use? How many tenses did Braden use? Did he abide by the concept of tense? As we know it, I'd like to say, I mean, what's it like in the staff room? Does the gym teacher show that sort of sense of humour towards everything? Or is he just enjoying that particular moment in that particular class because it is the last day of school for the term?
Starting point is 00:29:52 And I'd like to say, I mean, what are you doing in this town? Really? You got a great attitude? You seem like a very relaxed dude. I mean, you'd do well anywhere. Why are you here? What about you? I want to talk to...
Starting point is 00:30:15 Oh, look. I want to talk to John Lovitz. There's no getting around it. You want to talk to John Lovitz? I want to know what's brought him to that point. He seems like a reasonably... He's creepy, but he's a reasonably smart and articulate, devious young man, old man, a man.
Starting point is 00:30:30 John Lovett's the person or John Lovett's the character? The question is about the janitor. It's about the character. You want to talk to that character in real life. I want to, you know, like inside the actor's studio where that creepy dude, what's his name, the host? He's got the glasses frustrating
Starting point is 00:30:47 yeah and embarrassing because we've got an American listenership now and we should Malcolm Tucker no
Starting point is 00:30:53 James Tucker James something it's James Lipton thank you so you're good James Lipton we got there god who's Malcolm Tucker
Starting point is 00:31:01 who the fuck is Malcolm Tucker I'll google that later okay anyway so james like you have kevin spacey on or something he'll be like i would like to talk to and then he'll like say the name of a character i was gonna i was gonna complete it with a reference but then i forgot all of eric lamonsoff yeah yeah but i was gonna go with a spacey one okay like uh kpax oh god yes great great one to bust out of the hat that is such a good movie fuck i love kpax i haven't seen that in a few years i might get that out
Starting point is 00:31:41 um look we are running out of time oh yeah so listen here's what i would ask i just i'd mainly just ask like what's got him to that point of being a janitor that's all we've also got a crowbar and a shining light oh fuck yeah you've told me yours already and i'd like to share it with you okay because i think it is a real triumph of hollywood and and i'll preface it by saying uh just for last recently on youtube released a whole lot of old stand-up footage from their sort of archives uh it's got like old louis ck era are we talking sort of like late 80s through uh 90s and even in the 2000s so you've got bill hicks like whoa like unseen uh yeah like it's material you've kind of seen before but it is shit that's cool like mitch hedberg oh wow bill burr and chris rock and and chris rock has got a like a snaggle tooth um and because this this leads into
Starting point is 00:32:32 your shining light which is you this is chris rock sort of complying to the norms of hollywood it's teeth my shining light is everyone's teeth yeah the film. All the main guys. Phenomenal teeth. Outrageous teeth, actually. Like, outrageously good. None of them real teeth. Yeah, and you've got to respect that. Because, I mean, between 1987 and 2014, Chris Rock had to have had braces. No, I don't know if that's true.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Sometimes you can go into a North Sedontist and they do that thing where they, like, bash him around. Really? And you've just got, like, a bruise. Do North Sedontist and they do that thing where they like bash him around. Really? And you've just got like a bruise. Do you get put under and they just smash your teeth around? Smash him around. I believe that's a thing. It might not work for everyone. Or alternatively, maybe he just got teeth removed
Starting point is 00:33:15 and they just chucked in like caps or whatever the fuck they do. You know? If you've got enough money, you can generally just hurl it. Although Tom Cruise had braces and I feel like if there's any way around that, he have paid for it it's part of his image though it's a very carefully curated image i'm about ready to chuck a fork in this one um episode 32 have a bite of the grown-ups two sausage stick a fork in us because we're cooked. I'd like to just say that we are probably about to put out a little press release because we've come up with this idea
Starting point is 00:33:52 that we'd quite like to watch the movie for the final time for the 52nd episode in Los Angeles. I think if anything we've earned that right. It'll be like a weird pilgrimage. But I don't know. It'll be good if someone could help us out financially a little bit, maybe. I don't know. I don't feel like begging.
Starting point is 00:34:17 I don't like begging. Well, no. We'll suss it out as the plan. We're not beggars, but we are. As the plan crystallizes a bit more. We are floating that little helium-filled turd balloon into the atmosphere. And on that visual.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Yeah. I will bid you adieu. But thanks for listening. Don't watch the movie. And love every moment. Live every day. Because before you know it. Hey, can we actually, let's go to that.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Can we change this music to Minnie Robertson? Yeah, okay. All right, here it comes. More than you is more than just a dream come true And everything that I do Is out of love in you La la la la la La la la la la
Starting point is 00:35:18 La la la la la La la la la Do do do do do
