And welcome to how did this Get Made? Last Looks where you, the listener, get to voice your issues on Double Trouble, a movie that Discord user Graham S. Thinks should have had the tagline Double Trouble colon. They came to kick ass and wear crop tops and they're down to one crop top. Oh man, I like when I read these and they make me laugh right out of the gate. Thank you Graham S for that alt tagline. Remember, if you have an alt movie tagline, a title, submit it to us on our Discord. We may just read it on the show now. Coming up on today's episode. Oh, we got a big, big show. You're going to be hearing all your corrections and omissions on Double Trouble. I'll even share an exclusive deleted scene from our Double Trouble live show with Rory Scoville and Jessica Sinclair. Then Jason and I will chat with Kristen Schall and Tony Hale, who have a brand new podcast called the Extraordinarians. And if you don't know Tony Kristen, well, I mean, what are you doing? I mean, Tony Hale, rest of development Kristen Shaw, Bob's Burgers. I mean, these are a plus guests. I'm so excited to have them on the show. And lastly, as always, I will reveal the title for next week's episode. But before we get too far into all of that, I have to give a big shout out to Dan from Rochester for that opening song. Dan, you killed it. We love these songs. And if you have any Last look episode themes, there is a brand new way to submit them. Go to hdtgm.com and click submit a Song. That way you can upload your song right there on our homepage. You can also find that link in the show notes for this very episode. Remember, keep them short. 15 to 20 seconds is best. Okay, if you're listening to this on Friday, we are in Toronto tonight. That's right, we are in Toronto and we're so excited to be back. But if you're in Chicago this weekend, dine Dinosaur Improv with Jason, myself, Lenin Parham, Lisa Gilroy and more are performing at the Den. Most shows are sold out. I think actually all the shows are sold out except for our matinee on Sunday. You can still get tickets for that, but if you're in LA, you can see dinosaur on May 31st. And every week the Dark Web is live. That's right, Rob Hubel and I watching the Best of the Worst on online. And this Upcoming Friday the 23rd, we're doing a watch along of Sister Sensei, which is a movie made by the guy who made the video for Karate Rap. So if none of those words make sense, start watching the Dark Web. It is on YouTube. It's free every single Monday. Joyful Recollections of Trauma is out in paperback form. And what do you get with that? 20 extra pages. Plus check this out. I updated my website. I did it all myself on Squarespace. I built a whole new section, a show and tell section. So if you read the book and you want to see videos and pictures, I have a giant UCB section. I have a video of me meeting Michael Landon. I have a picture of me kissing my mom on the mouth. I mean, there is so much there for you to check out and I'm doing that just for fun. If you read the book, enjoy it and it's a nice compliment to the paperback which has brand new essays and stories in there as well. Jason is on Taskmaster right now. First two episodes are up and it is glorious. He is absolutely hilarious on the show. So check out Taskmaster. You can watch that on YouTube. You can also watch it on the Taskmaster app. Oh boy, oh boy people. That's all I got. So let's get into it. Last week we talked at length about Double Trouble. Well, we had questions and we might have even missed a few things. Here is your chance to set us straight. Fact check us if you will. And it is now time for corrections and omissions. Corrections, omissions, Corrections and omissions. You never see the Barbarian Brothers in an Italian restaurant. Drink a cappuccino with June Diane Raphael. Thank you the action Jackson 5 for that theme made just for this Double Trouble episode. That's what I love. The action Jackson 5 knows how to do it. Okay. I love when they are themed to the actual movie. You guys kill it. Thank you so much. All right, let's go to the discord. Heidi B. Vibrant Visionaries writes, the twins are fraternal, not identical. At a point they both got plastic surgery to strengthen their jawlines and slim their noses. This may have made them look more similar. Heidi B. I'm digesting that as you're telling me this. What? Oh my God. Okay, wait. Now she continues by saying an audience member mentioned the Bodyguard had a Vincent Vega look that Tarantino might have been inspired by. That character was played by Tito Lariva, who appears in From Dusk Till dawn with Tarantino and several more Robert Rodriguez films. Okay, well great. I love that information. But you know what? You already blew my mind from the first thing. You can't top it. I mean, now everybody else who comes after you, it's going to be. Honestly, it's going to be all downhill, I think. John Not Connor writes Double Trouble may be one of the most popular titles for a movie in cinematic history. The first page of search results on IMDb lists 14 exact matches for Double Trouble, including an Elvis movie and a number of foreign films. Clearly the rhyme transcends translation. In fact, there was a movie called Double Trouble released this year and every year going back to 2022. Curiously, June, none of these are Olsen twin movies. Wow. All right. But Scott does say Jason said he thought this was a Van Damme movie at first he probably was confusing it with Double Impact. You know what? I confused that with that one, too, where Van Damme plays twins, which is not to be confused with the Van Damme movie Double Team, which we already covered on. How did this get made? Wow. Van Damme loves the doubles. All right, let's go to the phones. Eric from Colorado, what do you got? Hey, Paul, this is Eric. Just got back from your Denver show featuring Double Trouble.
- [08:41]
Jason Mantzoukas
I just have a quick observation, and.
- [08:43]
Paul Scheer
I was surprised nobody brought up during.
- [08:45]
Jason Mantzoukas
The show, but I think there's a reason that Bob the Assassin seemed like.
- [08:49]
Paul Scheer
Such a wholesome, approachable, ginger kid.
- [08:53]
Kristen Schaal
Well, it's because he's the same actor.
- [08:55]
Jason Mantzoukas
That played Will Robinson in the original Lost in Space.
- [08:58]
Kristen Schaal
I felt like every time he brutally.
- [09:00]
Paul Scheer
Killed someone, I just kind of chuckled.
- [09:02]
Jason Mantzoukas
And thought, what's this kid getting up to now?
- [09:04]
Paul Scheer
Anyway, I love the show.
- [09:06]
Kristen Schaal
Hope to come back to Denver soon. Thanks, guys.
- [09:08]
Paul Scheer
Oh, I love that. That's great. I don't really have a connection to that character. I understand that reference. JR from the Discord adds Bill Mummy was also the kid that wished people into the cornfield on the original Twilight Zone. I love that. There he is. A very cute kid. All right, let's go to Liz from Denver. Hi, Paul.
- [09:30]
Jason Mantzoukas
It's Liz, the barbarian sister from the Denver Live show about Double Trouble. I called because my husband and I noticed that Double Trouble has something very specific in common with an episode of a TV show that Jason was on in the season three episode of Brooklyn Nine Nine called Terry Kitties. It has a plot involving a famously strong man, Terry Crews, in this case, being given a kitten by other detectives to taunt him for not stopping a crime involving a cat burglar. So Jason was in that episode, but not in that particular subplot. So my question, I guess, is, was Brooklyn Nine9 inspired by double Trouble? Thanks, you guys are great.
- [10:12]
Paul Scheer
Bye Bye, Liz. Everything stems from Double Trouble. I think Jason would agree, and I also think the creators of Brooklyn Nine Nine would go, yes, you caught us. We stole from Double Trouble. So thank you, Eagle Eyed Liz from Denver. What's up, Luke from Indiana? Hello, boys. Just calling. You guys probably already know this, but the Barbarian Brothers scene in Nature Born Killers is in the screenplay written by Quentin Tarantino. He name checks him, sort of. And that and the Dennis Leary scene that was cut out and the actual jet scene that was cut out are all in the screenplay. And Oliver Stone cut all that out and then put a bunch of Native American stuff in it that Quentin Tarantino did not Write. And he hated that movie. So I'd like to think it's because the Barbarian brothers were cut from it. Also, if you guys haven't read it, 8 billion genies, great comic.
- [11:10]
Jason Mantzoukas
Read that.
- [11:11]
Paul Scheer
And since it is Paul, ask next time you guys come to the den in Chicago. Please don't schedule for Mother's Day weekend because we have stuff going on. And I'd love to see you guys again. Bye. Bye. Right, okay. Yes. I don't know if we talked about it explicitly, but you know what? Let's listen to that scene. Simon and Norman Hun. Let me ask you a question. What do you think of Mickey and Mallory? I admire them.
- [11:33]
Kristen Schaal
So do I.
- [11:34]
Paul Scheer
But how can you say that? They're mesmerizing, hypnotizing. Have you seen Pumping Iron? Yes.
- [11:41]
Kristen Schaal
And you've seen the scene where Arnold.
- [11:43]
Paul Scheer
Schwarzenegger is talking to Lou Ferrigno through the power of the simple word in a snake eyed glare. In a snake eyed glare. Arnold was able to totally psych out any confidence Fergno had, squashing him mentally before physically defeating him. He had the edge, the mind's edge. Nikki and Mallory have that edge. Only on a much grander scale. They've hypnotized the nation. Yet you two are both victims of Mickey and Melanie. Okay. At first I was like, oh, this is actually a pretty subdued performance. But then it becomes like one of those wrestling, what do they call them, promos, Right. It just. It does transcend acting and just becomes like, listen up here, listen up here. Woody Harrelson. No, yeah, I get it, I get it. I think maybe even seeing it probably is a little bit more intense. Forgot that Robert Denny Jr. Did a British accent in that movie. All right, let's go to Rebecca from Denver. I love the people calling in for that. Were at the live show.
- [12:37]
Jason Mantzoukas
Hi, Paul and Jason, this is Rebecca. I was at the Denver show. Had a comment about double trouble. I got really. I read the Wikipedia entry about the Paul brothers. Got really distracted wondering if they ate 36 eggs each each day or total. And so because I worked in a library, because of course I do, I found the article that was cited in the Wikipedia entry and it is wonderful. I am pretty sure the woman who wrote it was about. She was in her 60s. It starts off with, excuse me, the first paragraph. The bronzed young man with the bulging biceps toyed with the dainty helping of chili on his plate. His twin brother, whose deltoids and factorials are awesome, nibbled a few deviled eggs. And I realized that the Reason why the Wikipedia entry is unclear about whether they're eating 36 eggs each or 36 eggs total is because I think this woman could not tell the brothers apart because there are numerous times in the article she quotes, she'll quote what one of them says, and then she just says the twins say. Because she doesn't know if it's David talking or Paul talking. Peter and David, explain. Acting requires concentration and weightlifting is total concentration. Peter. Or is it? David says. Yeah, it was. It was a fun article. Thank you again for the night. Thank you for the podcast. I'll talk to you all y' all later. Bye.
- [14:03]
Paul Scheer
Holy crap. First of all, thank you for your service. And I'm saying that to all librarians, thank you for your service. And that is hilarious. We are. We're going to get further and further from the truth as things go on. I like the idea that they ate 36 eggs, but still don't understand. So are you saying is your hypothesis that they together eat 36 eggs? Because even at that point, it's a lot of eggs. All right, back to the discord. Fitzy47 writes, Nobody mentioned in the episode that James Doohan's character was named Chief o' Brien, which is clearly a nod to Col Meaney's Star Trek Next Generation and Deep Space Nine character with the same name. Okay, first, all Fitzy. I don't believe that that is. I think this movie was way before Deep Space Nine. It had to be, right? Guess what? I'm not gonna look it up. And by the way, as an engineer on a starship, he should have been named after me. Billups. That's right. I got to go to Fan nights at Universal. It was fun. Walked around, grew a mustache, too. I didn't grow a mustache for that, but I had a mustache. I looked like Billups. Anyway, it was fun for me. Lizard Breath writes, During the show, the question was asked, what happened to David and Peter Paul? And being from Rhode island myself, I needed to know more about them. Okay? So yes, I did have this question, too. I want you to know I didn't bring it up in the show because it's a little dark. So everybody brace yourself. All right? Lizard Breath continues. Unfortunately, Peter had some mental struggles, which I won't go into because he deserves his privacy. And David moved back to Rhode island, where he pursued art, photography, music, film directing, and interior design. He designed the interior of a Rhode island ice cream parlor called Moose Trackers. And I went there, and honestly, it's beautiful. Unfortunately, around the time of the Parlor opening. David passed away. I really think it was going to be his next career. He put a lot of care and effort into it and it shows. Sorry, this is a long one, but I was truly touched learning more about the brothers. And I'm including a few photos I took of the parlor. Not wrong, not wrong, lizard breath. This is a beautiful ice cream shop and I'm glad to have a little bit of sunlight. And I think you respected Peter's mental struggles really well. All right, so there you go, people. A little history on the Paul brothers. So many great corrections and omissions this week, but there is only one winner and I said it right in the top. There's no one that could beat it. It was a shock to me as I read it. But Heidi B. Vibrant visionaries, you are the winner for revealing that these brothers had plastic surgery to look like each other. I am blown away and you get nothing. But you get this amazing theme from Tyler Mann. Hit it, Tyler. Foreign, you win. All right, if you want to chime in with your own thoughts about the latest episode, hit up the discord at Discord GG HDTGM or call us at 619Paul A S K. And once again, you can find our new song submission link@hdtgm.com or in the show notes of this very episode. Coming up after the break, Jason and I will chat with Kristen Schaal and Tony Hale. But first, you take a listen to the bonus deleted scene from our Double Trouble show where we talk with an audience member about sibling relationships. Craig, what do you got? So I have a question about the chemistry of these twins who we see. Like, like, personally, I don't feel like they had much chemistry.
- [17:21]
Kristen Schaal
I agree.
- [17:22]
Paul Scheer
I think that on a scale of like a Kinsey scale or if we're going to go like with like a Bechdel test, the like Folgers like siblings commercial between two people who are not related to each other having so much chemistry that it leans into incest versus the barbarian twins who are apparently sharing the same womb and have no chemistry. Where do we think that? I think that that should be proposed as a new scale of chemistry when.
- [17:55]
Tony Hale
It comes to sibling relationships.
- [17:56]
Paul Scheer
You're a scholar, sir.
- [17:57]
June Diane Raphael
You are a gentleman and a scholar.
- [18:01]
Tony Hale
The chemistry scale is only for people that are related to each other.
- [18:06]
Paul Scheer
We have chemistry. It's chemistry and representation of film. You know, representation matters.
- [18:12]
Tony Hale
Representation of incest.
- [18:13]
Paul Scheer
Representation.
- [18:15]
Tony Hale
I'm sorry, have we gone through the looking glass with incest? Are we just now all incest pilled?
- [18:22]
Paul Scheer
I'm Talking about chemistry here.
- [18:24]
Tony Hale
Chemistry between brothers.
- [18:25]
Paul Scheer
Chemistry of, like, sibling relationships in movies. Like, there is like, oh, wow, that's way too much like you look like you're fucking on screen right now versus these two who look like they've never met despite having come out of the same vagina within an hour of each other. So it's like Cruel Intentions might be at the Folger's commercial at the top, Cruel Intentions probably closer, and then these guys at the bottom for you.
- [18:50]
June Diane Raphael
Agreed.
- [18:51]
Paul Scheer
Here's what I will say. Say if you told me that it was the same actor playing both parts, I would say, yeah, that makes sense.
- [18:57]
June Diane Raphael
Exactly. I think so. The other problem is they were so close. A lot of their scenes for some reason were very close to each other.
- [19:05]
Paul Scheer
But over.
- [19:05]
Tony Hale
They're so big, it's hard to frame them.
- [19:07]
Paul Scheer
But that.
- [19:08]
June Diane Raphael
And that's true.
- [19:09]
Tony Hale
But I'm being honest. I wrote that multiple times in this frame. They both can't fit their chests too.
- [19:15]
Paul Scheer
Create some distance between each other.
- [19:17]
Tony Hale
So one has to be. They have to layer them. Layer the Barbie barbarians.
- [19:21]
Paul Scheer
I also. I just also want to remind everybody that they.
- [19:25]
Tony Hale
They weren't supposed to get along in this.
- [19:27]
Paul Scheer
And I. I think that they probably have an incredible relationship off screen. I'm sure they do. I'm sure they do get dinner one night and go, hey, you know, when we start shooting, we got to cut this out and we need to get a lot of our lines wrong and.
- [19:43]
Tony Hale
We need to trip when we're not.
- [19:44]
Paul Scheer
Supposed to and hold a gun like, dude, we gotta do that stuff. So lose all knowledge of everything and then shoot.
- [19:53]
Tony Hale
So you're proposing that they are method actors.
- [19:55]
Paul Scheer
I think they're incredible method actors.
- [19:58]
Tony Hale
It's the Barbarian Brothers. It's. It's. It's Jeremy Strong.
- [20:02]
June Diane Raphael
It's Daniel Day Lewis.
- [20:04]
Tony Hale
It's ddl.
- [20:08]

Anyway, without any further ado, Jason and I are going to chat with Kristen Schall and Tony Hill. Kristen was last on our pod for the classic Howard the Duck episode, but today her and Tony are here to talk about their brand new podcast, the Extraordinarians they share this podcast with Matt Oberg, another immensely talented, funny guy who you might recognize as the guy from the commercials with Sam Jackson. I think it's capital one. This guy is fantastic. And actually working with June right now in the Legally Blonde prequel show. Their show is fantastic. I can't wait to hear what they're up to, because I am obsessed with Guinness or World Book Records. I am obsessed with the record holders, why they're doing it, how they're doing it. So without any further ado, let's bring them in with a song from Rob from Long Island. Now it's the time of the show. It's the time of the show. Which time is that?
- [24:05]
Kristen Schaal
It's the time when Jason joins Paul.
- [24:09]
Paul Scheer
M A J U S D C H A T Just chat. Welcome to the show, you two. This has been. I'm excited. I'm excited that you have a podcast together with Matt Oberg, Another. A great guy.
- [24:26]
Kristen Schaal
Great guy.
- [24:27]
June Diane Raphael
Great guy.
- [24:28]
Tony Hale
Great guy.
- [24:29]
Paul Scheer
Wow. It seems like. I mean, it sounds like you guys were hesitating just a little bit. I didn't know, you know, like, you know, great guy. Yeah.
- [24:36]
June Diane Raphael
I've never heard him described that way.
- [24:38]
Paul Scheer
So I. Yeah, yeah. All right. Interesting. All right.
- [24:41]
Kristen Schaal
Great guy.
- [24:43]
Paul Scheer
Yeah.
- [24:44]
Tony Hale
Is he a great guy?
- [24:46]
June Diane Raphael
What is guy?
- [24:49]
Paul Scheer
Like we said already, your show is called the Extraordinarians. You're interviewing Guinness World Record holders. I want to just know how this idea came up for you all, because this is something that I reference a lot. I love. I just love that there's a book out there, and my kids have recently got into the Guinness World Record Book, and I just feel like, has this been something that you've been fascinated by since you were kids or what?
- [25:15]
June Diane Raphael
Surprisingly, that great guy came up with it.
- [25:19]
Paul Scheer
Oh, wow. So actually, when you're talking, wow, this is surprisingly.
- [25:23]
June Diane Raphael
Here he was reading that book to his eldest, and then he was like, ah, this would be a great podcast. And he told us about it, and we said, you did it again. Great guy.
- [25:38]
Tony Hale
Another great idea from a great, great guy.
- [25:41]
Kristen Schaal
It's not even. It's not even Guinness. We interview people who just do kind of extraordinary things, whether they break a record or not. So it's. But like, we've had some really. Look, one guy slack line between two hot air balloons.
- [25:55]
Tony Hale
What?
- [25:55]
Kristen Schaal
And, yeah, and just like.
- [25:58]
June Diane Raphael
I mean, that was a Guinness record, Tony.
- [26:00]
Kristen Schaal
That was a Guinness Record. Yeah. And then there was an. Actually, a lot of more. We done Guinness Records.
- [26:07]
Tony Hale
This show is not underwritten by big Guinness, is it?
- [26:10]
June Diane Raphael
No, That's. We want to. Yes. No, it's not.
- [26:12]
Paul Scheer
But you are sponsored by Guinness, the beer, which is confusing.
- [26:15]
Tony Hale
Yes.
- [26:16]
Paul Scheer
For the audience.
- [26:17]
June Diane Raphael
I think we have to smash a Guinness before every podcast and. Or.
- [26:22]
Tony Hale
Oh, God, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [26:23]
Paul Scheer
You guys feel. I mean, I will say this, and it's another thing I say often, but you guys feel full during the show. Like, when I like. You really feel like it's. You feel.
- [26:31]
Tony Hale
I listen to it and that there's a lot. I mean, you guys do talk about the records and stuff, but you spend a lot of time talking about. That's a really nice head on that Guinness. That's beautiful.
- [26:41]
Kristen Schaal
That's true.
- [26:42]
June Diane Raphael
I'm always thinking about the head.
- [26:44]
Tony Hale
Yeah.
- [26:45]
Paul Scheer
Well, you like. The cool thing about your house is that you have Guinness on tap there. And you're really. You really perfect that head.
- [26:53]
June Diane Raphael
I lick that head up. You know, there was. This is a. I really like to go on tangents on him.
- [27:00]
Paul Scheer
Please. Yes.
- [27:01]
Tony Hale
I'm sorry. Please, Kristen, please stay on topic.
- [27:04]
Paul Scheer
Yeah, this is, by the way, the most on topic.
- [27:05]
Tony Hale
Please stay on topic.
- [27:06]
Paul Scheer
This is the most on topic we've ever been.

Tony Hale
This is a podcast. We don't just have a chat. We. This is not loose.
- [27:13]
June Diane Raphael
Hello. I'll stand. I'll stay on my point.
- [27:16]
Paul Scheer
Stay on target.
- [27:18]
June Diane Raphael
Good. Head.
- [27:21]
Paul Scheer
Please.
- [27:22]
Tony Hale
Shall. Go ahead.
- [27:24]
June Diane Raphael
Have you ever been to the Hearst Castle?
- [27:26]
Paul Scheer
Yes.
- [27:27]
June Diane Raphael
I was taking a tour once, and William Randolph Hearst hated when people got drunk at parties, so he locked all the hard alcohol away in this beautiful cabinet, and everyone would get one cocktail at dinner, and that's it. And I just love that detail. And then. And then they take you through the kitchen where he had beer on tap all day and night, so people would be.
- [27:52]
Paul Scheer
But beer doesn't make you drunk in his mind. It's just hard.
- [27:56]
June Diane Raphael
Like Gatorade back then. It's, like, cleaner than water. They're going to need it to play tennis.
- [28:01]
Tony Hale
Yeah. Because back then you couldn't drink water. Water was, like, not drinkable.
- [28:05]
June Diane Raphael
Yeah. And now we're going back to that. It's like full circle.
- [28:08]
Tony Hale
Oh, yeah. No, we're getting. We're going back to it now. All of our water is coming from flint and is flammable.
- [28:14]
June Diane Raphael
Yeah. All of our water's been lit on fire in January, and we're.
- [28:18]
Paul Scheer
Okay. I do have a question about this.
- [28:20]
Tony Hale
And this is so many tangents, a.
- [28:22]
Paul Scheer
Straw poll that I've been taking. When you were kids, was water a part of your. Like, oh, yeah. Oh, let me go get a glass of water. Because for me, that was never part of the story. It was never like water was.
- [28:34]
Kristen Schaal
No, it was Capri Suns.
- [28:36]
Paul Scheer
Yes. 100% Capri Suns, orange juice, even. Sometimes milk. Honestly, it was anything.
- [28:42]
Tony Hale
If we were lucky, we had those little plastic jugs that had like a fruit punch in it in my area. Oh, yeah. Teenies.
- [28:51]
Paul Scheer
I think they were called grenades where I was from.
- [28:54]
Tony Hale
Oh. Because they were shaped like little grenades or barrels, maybe like barrels. Ours didn't look like barrels, but I've seen that ours were called teenies and they looked like little, like squares or little squat things. That was a big thing. We would rather drink rancid milk than water. When I was growing up, like, a.
- [29:11]
Kristen Schaal
Lot of soda too.
- [29:12]
Paul Scheer
A lot of soda.
- [29:13]
Kristen Schaal
Yeah.
- [29:14]
Paul Scheer
There was a time when I was living in New York, starting off doing ucb, that after a show, my friend and I would go back to my apartment and just both get like a 2 liter bottle of Coke and just be drinking that and playing video games like late night. Just what a life Dreamcast. And two liters of Coke. It was like.
- [29:31]
Kristen Schaal
But this is all pre, pre bottled water. Like we grew up.
- [29:34]
Paul Scheer
Yes, right. True. Yeah. There was nothing else to get at the deli. You just get that.
- [29:37]
Tony Hale
Oh, yeah.
- [29:38]
Paul Scheer
Have you ever tried to attempt to break a record? Do you have, do you have respect for these people that are breaking records? Because I. I feel like you will say, well, that's dumb. I could do that. And then when you even try to attempt anything like it, it seemingly is absolutely impossible. I think that that's the thing.
- [29:55]
Kristen Schaal
I. Yeah, every time we talk to these people, it's. I remember, like one of the people was, they won. This was actually maybe not a Guinness record. Kristen, I might be wrong, but the wonderful girl who was the pun, who won the pun competition, and she's like 21 or something like that. But you can see ever since of a young age, she would have this grid in her head where like she would see different words and just trying to find these puns. And now she's a songwriter. And then there was a guy who stuck toothpicks in his beard and how many toothpicks he could stick in his beard?
- [30:24]
Tony Hale
Wait, how many did he get? I think it was like, I'm curious. Maybe I could beat this.
- [30:28]
Kristen Schaal
I think, Jason, this is not a time for competition for you.
- [30:31]
Tony Hale
Come on, Tony.
- [30:32]
Kristen Schaal
Let these people have their moment.
- [30:33]
Paul Scheer
Jason, on your show.
- [30:36]
Kristen Schaal
But it's like you see the passion and the drive and the dedication. You know, it's like this one kid, the record was eight summer Salts in the air after out of a trampoline. And he's like, we're getting nine. And all the, like, sci. The science behind the bounce and the trampoline's actually in the ground. And, like, I mean, it's just like, such focus for these people. And it's. You always go away from it being like, well, I'm not doing anything with my life.
- [30:58]
Paul Scheer
Well, that's the thing. It's like, even that idea, like, I have. This is a lot of toothpicks. I got my beard. Let me go for it. Let me go for the record. And then you have to figure out, is there a record, like, in that? I'm also furious. I'm not furious. I am curious about what makes a Guinness World Book record and just a record. I mean, are. Are there.
- [31:18]
Tony Hale
Are Guinness Records proprietary? What does that mean? Like, is it kind of like if you write a sketch at snl, it belongs to snl. If you. If you get a record through Guinness, do they claim your. Do they own your record?
- [31:31]
June Diane Raphael
Great question.
- [31:32]
Kristen Schaal
That's a really good question.
- [31:32]
Tony Hale
Thank you. I pride myself in my questions.
- [31:35]
Kristen Schaal
Okay, again, we don't need to. This is not a time to promote yourself, Jason.
- [31:40]
June Diane Raphael
I mean, what are we doing here? I think that. I think Guinness just has a famous book, and they have, like, a whole team behind it so they can verify it. They have the money so you could set a record. And they'd be like, well, is it. Did it beat the one in Guinness? And also, all these people are creating records to go into Guinness. Like, they're making them up. Like, one guy, like, blue balloons in 90 seconds. He blew up the most balloons. And then he, like, told Guinness he did it. And they're like, okay, well, let you know, here's the parameters. We'll put it in our book. But you need to record it. You need this and that and all this.
- [32:17]
Kristen Schaal
Yeah, this is the same guy. I want to say, like, he did, like a 24 hour thing, didn't he, Kristen? And he had. I think he.
- [32:22]
June Diane Raphael
No, that's his dream, babe. That's his dream.
- [32:24]
Kristen Schaal
Oh, that was his dream. That's right. So, like, in certain sort of time, he did like a thousand balloons or something, and he did it in this ballroom. And there was a wedding going on next door, and the bride came in and said, can we have these for our wedding? He's like, sure. So he, likes, made their day and, like, brought all those balloons over.
- [32:40]
Paul Scheer
Wow, I like that.
- [32:42]
Tony Hale
That's cool.
- [32:43]
June Diane Raphael
I think what I like about. About interviewing these people too, is I like being around people who create stuff like you guys, you know, like, you're writing books and movies and making podcasts and comedy shows all the time. And there's this. That drive that's like, I need to do the thing, and I'm going to do it. And it's. It's something that in our world is specific to these projects. So it's fun to see this quality in other human endeavors that are.
- [33:08]
Tony Hale
So. Yeah, it's fun to that it. To see it applied to something else. Because it's one thing to just be like, hey, I can fit a bunch of toothpicks in my beard, or whatever it was. But it's another thing to be like, I should be recognized for this.
- [33:20]
June Diane Raphael
Well, and I also ambitious. That's what I love, the ambition.
- [33:23]
Kristen Schaal
And they're having a great time. This one guy who, like, set records of the hottest sauce, he didn't just eat things with sauce on it. He, like, drank the sauce. Oh, God, yeah. And he, like, his wife. His wife, like, they're in it together. But after. After he's finished, he's, like, lying on the concrete floor in his bathroom just to soothe his body and his stomach. And then he gets past it. But it's such a drive in him. And he has all these awards. He has, like, merch. Like, it's just like, he just loves it. He's creating a sauce.
- [33:52]
Tony Hale
It's that thing you're talking about, that drive, that drive to be. To pursue. To give yourself a challenge or a goal and to pursue it, even if it doesn't make sense or even a personal harm. Like, I feel like that's. But what you're talking about is what's so interesting about those people. And I feel like the example I can think of is the King of Kong, the documentary, the King of Kong. Because, like, what could be more low stakes than beating the arcade game version of Donkey Kong? But yet those are some of the most. Steve Wiebe and Billy Mitchell. I remember these names. These are these characters, these people, these real people became such characters in their pursuit of greatness, you know, on such a ephemeral thing, you know?
- [34:35]
Kristen Schaal
Yeah, yeah.
- [34:36]
June Diane Raphael
It's about. I also just like, pushing your comfort, too. All these people are doing something that, you know, it's like, it's just over and over again. Like, you're saying, like, practice. Like, it's not comfortable. It's not easy. I think we're in a time right now where everybody thinks things are easy and they're keeping their lives Is like just, I don't know, like, nobody's, like, putting themselves out there as much in a way. Like, they're not tending the fields like they used to.
- [35:02]
Paul Scheer
Well, I think when it's. Well, I think, like when I used to get that Guinness Book, it was amazing because you sit down with it and you'd look at it and you'd be like, whoa, this guy. These guys are motorcycle twins. Look at these fingernails, right? They're like images that are ingrained in my memory. But now on Instagram or whatever you see or tick tock, you're watching people do crazy stuff. So I also feel like it's like, how do you find that niche? How do you get that inspiration? You know, it's like you have to really kind of figure it out. But I would also imagine because of all those things, you allow a lot more people to get into the, the world breaking record game because they can just get it out there. They can get it up right away.
- [35:43]
Tony Hale
It also sounds like people are creating their own categories, you know, to, to create, like, not just breaking a record that exists, but creating a record that doesn't. That's interesting.
- [35:54]
Paul Scheer
Well, how about this? I, I, we have a little bit of a game here called world record over and under. I'm going to give you a world record, and you have to guess if this record is over or under that number. So this is a good one right here. All right. The most canned drinks opened by a parrot in one minute. Is it over or under 30? The most canned drinks opened by a parrot.
- [36:16]
Tony Hale
Now, here's a question I'm going to. While, while Tony and Kristen think about it. My question is, was this one of the parrots that you grew up with?
- [36:24]
Paul Scheer
Yes, I did grow up with parrots. They did not open. My parents never opened cans.
- [36:29]
Tony Hale
Okay.
- [36:30]
Paul Scheer
They would imitate Pee Wee Herman and they would eat the wood off the wall. We had to put Tabasco sauce on that just because they liked it spicy. Yeah, yeah.
- [36:38]
Kristen Schaal
Can we put a pin in that conversation about you growing up with parents?
- [36:43]
June Diane Raphael
I have so many parrots.
- [36:44]
Tony Hale
Oh, I'm so sorry, guys.
- [36:45]
Kristen Schaal
Did you get it?
- [36:46]
Tony Hale
Did you not want to just breeze right past this gem?
- [36:48]
Kristen Schaal
I'm sorry, how many parrots are we talking about that you grew up with?
- [36:52]
Paul Scheer
We had two. We had two big parrots, and then when we first started, two big parrots and then budgie and then two or three other birds. So it was a room of birds.
- [37:06]
Tony Hale
A room of birds.
- [37:09]
Kristen Schaal
So a zoo.
- [37:09]
Paul Scheer
A zoo. A small zoo.
- [37:12]
Tony Hale
So an aviary.
- [37:14]
Kristen Schaal
So Would you ever. Having had that experience, would you ever have a bird as an adult?
- [37:19]
Paul Scheer
Never, Never. Never.
- [37:22]
June Diane Raphael
Campaigning for a parrot like you wouldn't believe for three years. She will not happen it.
- [37:27]
Tony Hale
Did she have some exposure to a parrot or something, or is it in love with birds?
- [37:31]
June Diane Raphael
We. That she. If she can, like, get a wild raven to be her friend, that's her bird.
- [37:38]
Paul Scheer
Here's what I'll say. And for those people who own birds, God bless. I lived my life with them for a very long time. They're loud. They're very loud even, you know, and. And they should be like. You know, they are birds. They are reacting. And especially you put them out of the window, they're seeing cars. They're seeing things happen. They're gonna talk, they're gonna yell. They're gonna wake you up at all hours of the night. You know, it's an intense.
- [38:03]
Kristen Schaal
Which parent was the bird person?
- [38:06]
Paul Scheer
So my. My mom married a gentleman who came with birds. He, like. We. We like. Yeah. So we weren't. I was not a part of birds.
- [38:14]
Tony Hale
These were step birds.
- [38:15]
Paul Scheer
Yeah, these. I was married into the birds and then the birds. So the birds kind of came in for me as a freshman in high school. Wow. And stayed until probably. Oh, well, they stayed all the way to. My mom finally gave one away when she moved out here to Los Angeles, which was the right.
- [38:33]
Kristen Schaal
Oh, so she still has a couple with her.
- [38:36]
Paul Scheer
Well, one. One was left. One was accidentally killed, you know, and, you know, there's.
- [38:41]
Kristen Schaal
By Mr. Shear.
- [38:42]
Paul Scheer
Yeah, not by. Not by me. Not by me. It was a. A venting issue in our house with a stove. They were above the stoves.
- [38:51]
Tony Hale
Foul play, Tony. I'm hearing foul play.
- [38:54]
Paul Scheer
But none of this should distract you from trying to figure out how many canned drinks were opened by a parrot in one minute. Zach, the macaw. Yeah, there he is.
- [39:03]
Tony Hale
Oh, wow.
- [39:03]
Kristen Schaal
I would say over, I think.
- [39:05]
Paul Scheer
All right, over. You say over 30 cans.
- [39:07]
Tony Hale
I'm gonna say over as well. And the reason is because I would expect a parrot that shops at 365 Whole Foods to be able to do more than 30.
- [39:16]
Paul Scheer
Yes, the picture does have him at the 365 Whole Foods. So, yes, the answer. Over 35. As the number that he did. 35 canned drinks in one minute. One minute. I do have.
- [39:28]
Tony Hale
I mean, like, he'd be a great bar back, you know, just opening cans for everybody.
- [39:33]
June Diane Raphael
Oh, everybody would be so sweet, by the way.
- [39:36]
Paul Scheer
I mean, now I'm not positive, but did the Hearst. He used to have one, too. William Randolph Hearst used to have a parrot at the castle.
- [39:43]
Kristen Schaal
Hey, Paul, when you see this picture, does it genuinely trigger something in you?
- [39:47]
Paul Scheer
You know, I'm so, like, I have a relief. Like, I love to see kids study for tests or freaking out about papers. Cause it's like, ah, I don't have to do that. So seeing this bird nowhere near me is like, ah, it's a relief I don't have this in my life anymore. Like, it shows me I have a pride or a satisfaction, I should say.
- [40:06]
Kristen Schaal
I got it.
- [40:06]
Paul Scheer
I got it.
- [40:07]
June Diane Raphael
Tony, you have to read Paul's book.
- [40:09]
Tony Hale
Oh, I heard.
- [40:09]
Paul Scheer
Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. It's now out in paperback, as by this recording it will be. And it has 20 extra pages in it.
- [40:17]
Tony Hale
If you think discovering that Paul grew up in a house full of birds was shockingly new information. Tony, buckle up. The book is one revelation after another.
- [40:29]
Paul Scheer
Parrots aren't even in the book. Parrot didn't even make the book.
- [40:32]
Kristen Schaal
They're not in the book.
- [40:33]
Paul Scheer
Parrot didn't even make the book.
- [40:34]
Kristen Schaal
Was that your to spite them? You're like, you're not gonna make the book.
- [40:38]
Paul Scheer
I've forgotten a lot of these stories. That's the problem is, like, I only had enough. I filled it up and then I was like, oh, they remember all these other things.
- [40:44]
June Diane Raphael
I have it by my bed.
- [40:46]
Paul Scheer
Oh, yeah, I love it.
- [40:48]
June Diane Raphael
But, Tony, you love trauma. And this is like, you love talking about trauma.
- [40:52]
Tony Hale
Tony, you love trau.
- [40:56]
June Diane Raphael
Speak on that, will you love this.
- [41:00]

I will ask one other because we're. Keep the animal track going here. Cause I think this is interesting. What the record for the most basketball slams in one minute by a rabbit. Is it over or under 18 slam dunks?
- [44:57]
Tony Hale
I hope we have footage of this.
- [44:59]
Paul Scheer
Because we do have a video of this. This is Benny the Bunny.
- [45:03]
Kristen Schaal
The Bunny.
- [45:03]
Paul Scheer
Benny the Bunny. How many slam dunks did Benny the Bunny do? Is it over or under 18?
- [45:09]
Tony Hale
I'm gonna say over.
- [45:11]
Kristen Schaal
I'm gonna say under.
- [45:13]
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, me too. They don't have hands like.
- [45:16]
Paul Scheer
Yeah, well, that's. That's the tricky one. Let's see the video and let's count it off. Here we go. My name is Shy. Well, in la.
- [45:23]
Tony Hale
Okay, pause. I'm gonna need you to pause. I'm gonna need you to pause. Okay?
- [45:27]
Paul Scheer
Okay.
- [45:27]
Tony Hale
Okay. What are we up to here? But see, it's it. Now, normally it should just cut in on the. The rabbit, right? But we get. We get real owner time. We get Shy the owner. Now. This is. This is who the videos. This is who the record is for.
- [45:43]
Paul Scheer
Yes.
- [45:43]
Tony Hale
You guys got to get. You guys got to talk to Sean.
- [45:45]
Paul Scheer
He's also.
- [45:46]
Kristen Schaal
Yeah, he's wearing a very tight.
- [45:48]
Paul Scheer
Very tight.
- [45:49]
Kristen Schaal
Very, like to showcase his. His body before we get to know the.
- [45:52]
Tony Hale
Here's the thing, though.
- [45:53]
Paul Scheer
He's jacked.
- [45:54]
Tony Hale
He looks great.
- [45:54]
June Diane Raphael
I'm not mad about what he's wearing.
- [45:57]
Paul Scheer
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [45:58]
Tony Hale
Tony, don't be so jealous just because he's jacked.
- [46:00]
Kristen Schaal
This dad bod is pissed.
- [46:02]
Paul Scheer
He does look like he's wearing a Superman shirt because his. He's so ripped and it's like. It does. You put an S on there, you'll be ready to go. Shy s for Shy Scott. We have the up to the video. We don't have to watch more interviews with Shy. We are in LA right now.
- [46:16]
Tony Hale
Oh, they're in la.
- [46:18]
Paul Scheer
Guinness World Record style is most slam danced by a rabbit in a minute. Okay, here we go. And he got seven. Very easy to achieve this record because Bini likes to play basketball every night before he goes to sleep.
- [46:31]
Tony Hale
That's nice.
- [46:31]
Paul Scheer
One day I caught Benny playing with a ball and a box. And I decided to develop this talent. And I bought him a little hoop and a little basketball. Guys, get this Guy on your show. Seven. Seven basketball. You were right under, under there. Seven slam dunks.
- [46:49]
June Diane Raphael
That was so endearing.
- [46:52]
Tony Hale
It's very cute. Benny the bunny is, I will say, incredibly cute.
- [46:56]
Kristen Schaal
Yeah, but the basketball height's not standard. I just want.
- [46:59]
Paul Scheer
I agree. Thank you, Tony. And that's like. Yeah, they're not really basketball slam dunk. They really just seem like putbacks.
- [47:05]
Tony Hale
Wow, you guys are brutal. You guys. Wow.
- [47:09]
Paul Scheer
This is why the show. This is why the show works.
- [47:11]
Tony Hale
I'm wondering as you guys are doing this show and meeting these people and talking to these people, this is my pitch. Are, are you formulating a plan to create a record for yourselves? Are you now, are you. Is part of the show going to be eventually figure, you know, you're basically data gathering the types of things that maybe you could get to and then at some point I think you're going to have to stage a record breaking event.
- [47:39]
June Diane Raphael
This is really smart stuff. Jason.
- [47:43]
Paul Scheer
We want to see you out in the road.
- [47:45]
Tony Hale
This is 16 years in the podcast.
- [47:47]
Kristen Schaal
Listen, are you a producer?
- [47:49]
Paul Scheer
No.
- [47:49]
June Diane Raphael
We're so green.
- [47:52]
Kristen Schaal
We are green. We've talked about, we have talked. I feel like initially they talked about it with head gum and we were, we were all like, maybe, maybe one day.
- [48:03]
Paul Scheer
I mean, look, if you can start having people break records, if you can get people to break records on your show, I mean this is amazing. Maybe the longest podcast episode you'll ever do. Maybe you do that. You podcast for who knows how long. The longest.
- [48:15]
Tony Hale
I mean, record breaking podcast breaks a record.
- [48:19]
Paul Scheer
Wow.
- [48:20]
Tony Hale
I mean like that's a fucking headline right there.
- [48:22]
Kristen Schaal
That's a log line.
- [48:24]
Paul Scheer
Your headgun podcast the extraordinarians every week. I would imagine that's how you release it, right? Every week.
- [48:30]
June Diane Raphael
Episodes out now. Which is funny that we're. You're right. Like we should be really thinking bigger picture.
- [48:37]
Tony Hale
Eventually. Eventually you're just two episodes in. That's where your goes.
- [48:41]
June Diane Raphael
How many how did this get made shows have you guys done?
- [48:45]
Paul Scheer
We were just kind of figuring that out. We're. We're up in the 300s. Gosh, 15 years.
- [48:52]
June Diane Raphael
15 years and only 300 to show for it.
- [48:55]
Paul Scheer
But now you also are doing a video podcast. You can watch it on YouTube. YouTube as well. So 369 movies is what we've done here on the show. So. But yeah, but what I love about this is you can watch your episodes. You can listen or you can watch.
- [49:09]
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, yeah. You can look at our faces.
- [49:11]
Tony Hale
Just, just as podcasts are meant to be videos.
- [49:16]
June Diane Raphael
I did not realize this was all encompassing.
- [49:20]
Kristen Schaal
We also do something where, like, people can call in and say, like, I'm going to nominate my friend for, like, the best this or the worst this. And so, like, like, one girl nominated her brother for, like, the bet he makes the best eggs. And so. And then we called him up and said, your sister just nominated. And supposedly he's been around the world and find eggs and all, but then somebody else got, like, the worst joke teller. So then we call them up and be like, hey, just to let you know, your friend said you're like, the worst joke teller.
- [49:44]
Paul Scheer
Oh, wow.
- [49:44]
Kristen Schaal
And then we, like, let them do all that kind of stuff. So it gives people an opportunity just to nominate their friends.
- [49:48]
Paul Scheer
I love this. Well, I cannot wait for more episodes. Subscribe on YouTube. Listen, subscribe, do all the things that you do with podcasts in your podcast apps. You two are the best. I'm excited that I love this trio, by the way, of you two. And then really nice guy, Matt o'.
- [50:05]
Tony Hale
Neill and that great guy who's currently.
- [50:08]
Paul Scheer
With our great gal, June Diane in Vancouver shooting the Legally Blonde series.
- [50:16]
Tony Hale
Oh, nice.
- [50:17]
Kristen Schaal
Hey, Paul, how long has June up there?
- [50:20]
Paul Scheer
She's up there until July, so it's been an interesting time for our family.
- [50:24]
June Diane Raphael
And she doesn't get to come home.
- [50:26]
Paul Scheer
She does. She does get to come home. She comes home when she can and, you know, and then I have the kids just pretend they don't recognize her, which doesn't go over well. And then. No, we've been making a good. She's been coming home a bunch.
- [50:42]
June Diane Raphael
If you get a chance to visit her in Vancouver, though, with the family, there's so many great spots you guys can go to, like a salmon fishery thing.
- [50:53]
Paul Scheer
I made the worst mistake. When we first had our first child. I got a job and I was away, and it was just for like a week or so. It wasn't a big job, but I was away and June was a new parent with a baby. And I was in Vancouver and I went ziplining. And I was like, look at me. I'm on the zip line to June. And I realized that was a mistake. I should never. Whenever. Whenever you are away doing something fun and your partner is at home with children, you never send them anything fun that you have done. You don't tell them about a movie.
- [51:26]
Tony Hale
Ziplining is particularly carefree.
- [51:29]
Paul Scheer
It was so carefree. I was like, I have nothing to do with my day. I'm gonna zipline. June was not happy with a picture of me on a zipline as she's at home with a three month old, so. So, yeah, I've learned the hard way. So now if we go together, it'll be a lot of fun. Fun.
- [51:46]
Tony Hale
Well, I wonder what the. I wonder what the record is for longest zip line.
- [51:50]
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, I wondered at 2.
- [51:52]
Paul Scheer
I did the one in Hawaii where you go over the Jurassic park fields and it's really fun.
- [51:56]
Tony Hale
Oh, that's cool.
- [51:56]
June Diane Raphael
When I'm away at work, Paul, I just call Rich and I just. And. And how awful it is.
- [52:03]
Paul Scheer
I'm always like. I'm like. June's like, what are you up to? I'm like, nothing. I mean, there's nothing to do. I'm just in my room. I'm literally. I'm not eating dinner. I'm not talking to anyone. I'm never going to see a movie.
- [52:12]
June Diane Raphael
I'm crying so much.
- [52:15]
Paul Scheer
Now June insists on tracking me. June is obsessed with keeping the tracker on phone so she knows what's going on.
- [52:24]
Tony Hale
Oh, my God.
- [52:25]
Paul Scheer
The other day I was coming home and I had to give notes on something, so I just pulled off to the side of the road to give notes. Cause I knew that if I came home and I just got on my phone, it wouldn't be good. So I was like, I'm gonna pull over here. I'll do my notes and then I'll go home and I can be fully present. And she's like, what are you doing parked on the street out there? I'm like, God damn it. So now I don't even feel like I have that.
- [52:49]
Tony Hale
Just like watching you like, it's a show on Netflix.
- [52:52]
Paul Scheer
She knows where I am at all times. Like, you don't even need to keep track. Dibs on me. But she does it to all of her friends. She has multiple friends that she's tracking at any given moment. By the way, if you are wondering, the longest zipline is about 9,000, 000ft. Gosh.
- [53:07]
June Diane Raphael
And it's in United Arab of Emirates.
- [53:10]
Tony Hale
Great. Let's go. Let's go.
- [53:11]
June Diane Raphael
Can women go on that zip line or only men?
- [53:16]
Tony Hale
Because it's in uae.
- [53:18]
June Diane Raphael
Yeah.
- [53:19]
Tony Hale
Yeah. Good question.
- [53:20]
Paul Scheer
We got to figure that out.
- [53:21]
Kristen Schaal
Yeah.
- [53:21]
Paul Scheer
Maybe we can break the Guinness world record of the first woman to do that zipline.
- [53:26]
Tony Hale
Yeah, that'd be great.
- [53:27]
June Diane Raphael
At the first flying vagina to go 9,290ft.
- [53:36]
Paul Scheer
Oh, my goodness. Oh, you two are the best. Thank you for being here and chatting with us.
- [53:41]
Kristen Schaal
Congratulations on your longevity with your podcast. You're an inspiration to us.
- [53:48]
Tony Hale
May you have the same 15 years that we've had.
- [53:52]
Kristen Schaal
I'll be dead.
- [53:55]
June Diane Raphael
You're so brave not eating eggs.
- [53:57]
Tony Hale
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you for acknowledging my bravery.
- [54:01]
June Diane Raphael
I found someone else who's allergic to eggs.
- [54:03]
Kristen Schaal
Who?
- [54:04]
June Diane Raphael
Reese Darby's wife, Rose. Rose.
- [54:06]
Tony Hale
Okay.
- [54:07]
June Diane Raphael
Yeah. I went over to her house, and she's like, any non egg based dish, please. And I was like, oh, my God.
- [54:13]
Tony Hale
Oh, nice. I love it. I love meeting one in the wild.
- [54:17]
Paul Scheer
My sons were watching Jason on Taskmaster, and they turned to me in shock, in horror when they said, what if they make him eat eggs? Oh, I'm sure that he has told them that they cannot have any eggs, but they felt like. Like, this is what they're gonna do. They're gonna make Jason.
- [54:35]
Tony Hale
That's how they're gonna get it.
- [54:36]
Paul Scheer
Yeah, they're gonna make them eat eggs. It's like there's. Especially after the. The first episode, there's like a raisin challenge, and they're like, what if it was eggs? It's like, it's not gonna be eggs.
- [54:45]
Kristen Schaal
Jason, what was that. What was that movie you were doing in Vancouver when I saw you at the Sutton.
- [54:50]
Tony Hale
I was in the hospital.
- [54:51]
Kristen Schaal
Yes.
- [54:52]
Tony Hale
It was a pilot that never got picked up to series, so it was a pilot that I did for FX years ago.
- [54:58]
Kristen Schaal
Yeah.
- [54:58]
Tony Hale
And I.
- [55:00]
Paul Scheer
Twice.
- [55:00]
Kristen Schaal
Yes.
- [55:00]
Paul Scheer
Oh, I remember this.
- [55:02]
Kristen Schaal
It was brutal.
- [55:03]
June Diane Raphael
For what? For why I had some.
- [55:06]
Tony Hale
It wasn't eggs. I thought it was eggs at first, and it turned out to not be. It was something in my stu. I was like, having. I could not hold even water down, and I, I, I truly was only hospitalized because they. I needed to be on an iv and they just were just making sure something more catastrophic wasn't wrong. So it's not as dramatic as it sounds, but nonetheless, I was in a Canadian hospital twice, which was not great.
- [55:29]
Paul Scheer
You weren't allergic to the zip lines though, right?
- [55:32]
Tony Hale
You know what I'm allergic to? Canada.
- [55:35]
Kristen Schaal
There we go.
- [55:36]
Paul Scheer
June had a haunted hotel room. But. But we. We've gotten that figured out now. That was. I don't know if you guys had any issues with that when you were in Canada.
- [55:44]
June Diane Raphael
What was happening?
- [55:45]
Tony Hale
Shawl just lit up.
- [55:46]
Paul Scheer
June's room was haunted, and she was getting lights flickering in the middle of the night, doors opening, a lot of crazy stuff. But she would turn off lights, walk into the other room, and then the lights would turn back on. Doors were closed, and then they would be open. So there was a lot of spooky stuff. And she did talk to somebody, and they said that there were some blobs Some dark blobs.
- [56:13]
Tony Hale
Two blobs.
- [56:13]
Paul Scheer
Two blobs.
- [56:14]
Tony Hale
Two blobs and a gateway to hell.
- [56:16]
Paul Scheer
Yes.
- [56:17]
Tony Hale
Two blobs and a gateway to hell were in her room, which.
- [56:20]
Paul Scheer
Jason, I'm gonna break that down for you. Cause I've saved that document for you so we can really see when we go on tour.
- [56:26]
Kristen Schaal
Wait, Tuba, what is the gateway? What do you mean? The gateway of hell?
- [56:29]
Paul Scheer
It's like a portal.
- [56:30]
Tony Hale
Yeah, Tony, what do you mean?
- [56:31]
Kristen Schaal
No, no, no. I mean, did she see a sign that said that?
- [56:34]
Paul Scheer
No, no. This is the. The person that was brought in to help cleanse the room saw a portal. Oh.
- [56:42]
Tony Hale
I'm sorry. June's room was diagnosed as having two blobs and a gateway to hell.
- [56:47]
June Diane Raphael
Did she change rooms or hotel?
- [56:50]
Paul Scheer
No, did not change rooms. Well, can I tell you, what they told June was that. What they thought was that the studio is so haunted and that she was bringing people back from the.
- [57:03]
Tony Hale
She was bringing ghosts back from the studio.
- [57:06]
Kristen Schaal
Okay, let's go back to job security. Do you kind of wonder if this guy's saying this, you know, just to, like, validate his paycheck?
- [57:14]
Paul Scheer
I had a lot of issues with some of the things that were discussed there. And then as the ghosts were shedding, I was like, well, don't shed them here at our home. Yeah, I don't need these ghosts shedded here.
- [57:25]
Kristen Schaal
Bring them on the plane.
- [57:26]
Paul Scheer
Yeah, I don't.
- [57:27]
Tony Hale
Guess what. I don't want a bunch of fucking Canadian ghosts in my house.
- [57:30]
Paul Scheer
They're so polite.
- [57:31]
Tony Hale
Get the fuck out of here.
- [57:32]
Paul Scheer
They actually close doors because you left them open.
- [57:36]
Tony Hale
And now. Now because of the tariffs, we're getting, like, 35% more ghosts.
- [57:43]
Paul Scheer
But they're doing 100% more haunting. I don't understand why. Oh, my gosh. Well, thank you all, you know, are the best. Anything else you want to plug besides your podcast?
- [57:57]
Kristen Schaal
I have something I can't plug. There's a movie that my buddy Seth Worley and I did that's coming out August 6th called Sketch, and it took us seven years to make.
- [58:07]
Paul Scheer
Whoa.
- [58:07]
Tony Hale
Not long enough.
- [58:08]
Kristen Schaal
Not long enough. It took us 15 years to make, but it's really. I think it's really good.
- [58:15]
Paul Scheer
What is it about?
- [58:16]
Kristen Schaal
It's about a little girl who's grief, and she draws these really horrible pictures, and they come to life.
- [58:22]
Paul Scheer
Whoa.
- [58:23]
Kristen Schaal
And it's just. It's so great, guys, and I'm excited for people to see it. So it's gonna be in theaters.
- [58:28]
Paul Scheer
It's you and Darcy. Darcy Cardin's in it as well. Right.
- [58:31]
Kristen Schaal
Darcy plays my sister.
- [58:32]
Paul Scheer
Yeah. Oh, wow. This is a great. And the reviews here are amazing.
- [58:37]
Kristen Schaal
A lot of good feedback.
- [58:38]
Tony Hale
What's it called again, Tony?
- [58:40]
Kristen Schaal
It's called Sketch. August 6th in theatre.
- [58:43]
Tony Hale
And are you still casting any of the roles? I'd love to. I'd love to put myself on tape.
- [58:47]
Kristen Schaal
So weird. We're already in the can, man. But picture locked. We're already. Picture locked.
- [58:53]
Paul Scheer
Yeah. But you could see if you could just get Jason to do something. Voiceover or something.
- [58:56]
Tony Hale
I'd love to. Can I ADR someone?
- [58:58]
Kristen Schaal
Okay. Like a log line for the promotion.
- [59:01]
Tony Hale
Whatever. If Darcy Carden can't make an ADR session, I'll just drop a line in.
- [59:05]
Paul Scheer
Yeah, just get him in there. Tony.
- [59:07]
Kristen Schaal
Talented Jason.
- [59:09]
Paul Scheer
It's only May. It's coming out. You said in August.
- [59:11]
Tony Hale
I'd love to be a part of this project is all I'm saying.
- [59:13]
Paul Scheer
Yeah, it's plenty of time. Plenty of time to get in there.
- [59:14]
Kristen Schaal
You just do the song.
- [59:15]
Paul Scheer
You're like, sketch, sketch, sketch, sketch, sketch.
- [59:17]
Tony Hale
Yeah, here we go. Sketch. Getting ready for the sketch.
- [59:21]
Paul Scheer
I like this. Can you get Seth on the phone after this meeting and just.
- [59:25]
Kristen Schaal
Oh, speed dial.
- [59:26]
Paul Scheer
Tony, I also saw that Toy Story you were. You posted something from that.
- [59:33]
Tony Hale
Oh, yeah.
- [59:33]
Paul Scheer
Wow.
- [59:33]
Kristen Schaal
Zooky's coming back and Kristen Schaal is gonna be what I am. Yeah.
- [59:38]
Paul Scheer
Yep.
- [59:39]
Kristen Schaal
We're both in it.
- [59:39]
Paul Scheer
This is very exciting. Wow. Yeah. That. I'm. I am thrilled. I cannot wait. I've only been cut from a Pixar movie. I was so excited. I was like, there's no way you can cut Incredibles 2.
- [59:51]
Kristen Schaal
Is that in your book? Sorry.
- [59:52]
Paul Scheer
It should have been. It was such a fun experience. They cut the whole scene. I think they thought it was too rough. I was a cop yelling at kids. And so they were like, I don't know if we need that moment. And it was released as a part of the special features. Me yelling at children. Oh, that's cool. It was fun. It was fun to see. Can do. And it was great.
- [60:11]
Tony Hale
It got animated and all. It got all the way through.
- [60:13]
Paul Scheer
It got. It got mostly animated, like, you know, so. But it was. That was one of the most fun experiences ever. You know, just so cool.
- [60:20]
Tony Hale
Tony, you said it took. It took you seven years to make this movie.
- [60:24]
Kristen Schaal
Yes. Yeah. Seven years.
- [60:25]
Tony Hale
Do you know if that is a world record?
- [60:27]
Kristen Schaal
Oh, good callback.
- [60:31]
Paul Scheer
I love this.
- [60:32]
Kristen Schaal
Maybe I'm gonna look into it, find out.
- [60:34]
Tony Hale

Jason Mantzoukas
Mayor, will I be able to drop into multiplayer gaming battles with low lag?
- [63:48]
Paul Scheer
The lag won't be an issue, but your questionable skills may be.
- [63:52]
June Diane Raphael
And what if I have hundreds of devices on the Wi Fi? Purely hypothetical.
- [63:56]
Paul Scheer
Seems like a lot, but sure, hundreds of devices all booming together with the Xfinity Gateway. Yes, friends and neighbors, with Xfinity, the WI Fi is booming.
