Someone took an edible last night to try and go to sleep and may have overindulged because I am still flying. Wow. I took 100 milligrams at about 11 o' clock last night.
C
It's too many milligrams and it is.
B
Somebody gave me medical grade when I was in Detroit, excuse me, Colorado. And oh boy, have they been kicking my ass. And every time I go, next time take half of one. And then I go, nah, I'm going to bed anyway. And then I wake up high off my tits.
D
Kind of edible, though.
B
A little gummy.
D
Yeah, isn't that mean? Like, because, you know, we're big guys, dude.
B
It's not fair.
D
Gummy bear. And you tell me just to eat a quarter of it.

But regardless of how you consume the show, sincerely, thank you. All right, so kp, I want. So you're doing Satanic panic. Have you gotten into the preschool things where the kids said that they were getting flushed down the toilet?
D
It is. You're talking about the Michael Aquino one. Yeah. That is the fact that we're able to talk about Satan and then just Oprah appears in the middle of the story. It's pretty, pretty great.
B
Yeah, it was. There was a thing with preschools. They had the satanic panic thing that they thought there was like cabals taking the kids for like sacrifices. Yeah. And basically they found it was how they found out you can't lead children in questioning. Right.
C
They'll answer kind of like, what? You want them?
B
They'll tell you a story. They're very eager to tell a story.
C
Yeah.
B
So basically they were suspecting this preschool of being abusive, and then they were coming back like, yeah, the kids said that they flush them down the toilet and that there's a goat. And like, they was. They would describe all these, like, satanic practices, and it was like a real huge thing. Like, it was on every talk show.
C
When was it? In the 80s?
B
Yeah.
D
80s.
B
Satanic.
C
Yeah.
D
So 70s, 80s. And then late 90s, it kind of fizzled out with the West Memphis Three.
B
Okay.
D
Damien Eccles. Because that's when they were like, all right, this is a bit much, guys. All right. I don't think Satan is, you know, manifesting through teenagers wearing Metallica shirts, but. Yeah, you would have been a person of interest back.
B
Oh, I definitely would have. Certainly not now. See, T birds bringing back asylums.
D
No. What?
B
Good T bird. And I gotta tell you, as somebody who lives in a. In a major metropolitan area. Not against it.
C
No, dude. I mean, they used. They used to have tons of them.
B
And yeah, in his words there, he signed a bill to bring back mental institutions and insane asylums. And he said it was. It was. He's. You don't want to see him build these suckers, but they got to put them somewhere.
C
Yeah. I mean, they just need ones where they don't rape them.
B
So that's.
C
That's. That was the problem before.
B
Yeah, well, it was raping Reagan. Fair point. Reagan shut them all down because what had happened was it's in the documentary Cropsy that basically Reagan signed a bill to close them all, because what had happened is Geraldo Rivera, I believe, had somebody sneak a hidden camera into an institution. And it was bad. It was like naked kids on the floor, shitting, like, playing with shit. Like. Yeah, it was bad. Like, it was gross.
C
Yeah, they just pay the guards enough to not abuse everybody. Yeah, it's a good idea.
B
I. But what happened was when they all closed, those people had nowhere to go.
C
Yeah, they're in the subway.
B
And a lot of them stayed subway. And a lot of them went back and just lived in the abandoned homes. And that was like a huge. Because then they were just running the joint. Yeah. And there is finally, there was a serial killer called that was known as Cropsy. And he was a main. A former patient turned handyman, janitor type thing for the institution. He lived in a trailer outside of it. But upon further inspection, it does look like somebody planted the bodies, which was. He was killing Kids in front of his trailer, so they think somebody else in the asylum pinned it on him.
C
Interesting.
D
The big one by us is Greystone, remember? So we're both Jersey guys. I apologize. The Greystone was like a mental institution in Morris county. And it was crazy because I do tree work for Morris county. And they said that when Greystone was still open, one guy's job every day on the tree crew was to stand near the chipper so that no Greystone patients could take a header into. Was literally their job. All right. You're on Greystone duty today. And that was your whole job for eight hours was. Nobody takes a header.
B
He's in full hockey goalie. Dude, I actually. Dude, this is gonna be all over the place. I apologize. I went on a deep dive. So. By the way, being. KP knows because we grew up with a magazine called Weird New Jersey.
C
Okay.
B
That was basically. You would go to like a comic book shop or a Barnes and Nobles and grab it and it would be all like abandoned places. You could go to Ghost Stories. Really fun. Yeah. Fun shit for bored kids.
C
That's cool.
D
Perfect. If you didn't have a girlfriend yet. This was what you were doing? Yeah.
B
This is what you're doing? Yeah. You were seeing if your car would go backwards on certain roads. And like.
C
Oh, they have one of those magnetic hills by my house where I grew up. It's like where you put it in neutral and.
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
C
You don't actually go up the hill.
B
It's an illusion.
C
It's an illusion. But it looks like he feels and looks like you're going up a hill 100%.
B
However, I went on a deep dive, so I have been very interested slash worried that there's. Apparently they're starting to be the effects of incest in a lot of closed off communities.
C
Okay.
B
And when you. Some people. Some of the results of incest are anger, violence, and fanaticism. I don't know what parts of the world might be having this issue.
C
Sure.
B
But I saw something that fucked me up and there was a Wikipedia article on it. So if I got fooled, I apologize. I found out about. Have you guys heard of the rat children of Pakistan?
C
No.
B
So it's specifically around this one area, they're having a rise in what. What freak shows used to call pinheads. The. They have like the long face and the.
C
I think there's these like, brothers who are like really big on TikTok. Who are like that. Yeah, yeah.
B
And they have like, long sloping. If you watched American Horror story, Pepper.
D
That's who I'm thinking of.
B
And that's Schlitzie the Pinhead. If you ever saw Freaks. And they would. They would dress them up, they would put them in, like, furs and shave their head. Except for a little tuft on the top.
C
Yeah. Guys.
B
Yeah. So in Pakistan, it's considered.
C
You look a little rodent.
B
Like, it's considered bad luck to not give them money.
C
Oh.
B
If they're begging, good deal for them.
D
Pakistan has leprechauns. That's great.
B
Fantastic.
D
Troll bridges.
B
The beggars are all part of cartels that run the begging scene. And they put them out. They put. They. They're on shifts. Yeah.
C
Yeah. It's like gypsies.
B
And these kids, not only are they having so much that it's a business is the kids are born without it. They're constricting their heads.
C
Oh, crazy.
B
So that they grow up with the long hair because they. And. But, you know, obviously their brains are all fucked up. But. Yeah. So these are the rat trail. Shannon. Am I. I didn't make this up. Right.
E
At least the part of the rat children there is. Wait there. If you click away one second, there is a particular area that they're associated with. One second. Shah Dola. The rats of Shah Dullah. This is the rat children of Pakistan.
B
Yeah.
E
So at least that part is true. I'll look up the second part.
B
And it's just wild, dude. Like, if we're getting old timey deformities again.
C
Yeah. Maybe it's purely from inbreeding, they think.
B
Yeah, it is. I mean. Yeah. It's not, like, contagious.
C
I hope not.
D
They look like Barry Keegan. It's kind of weird to me.
B
They. Yeah, I'd say open up, you know, Open up your dating circle.
D
It's a tough one, man.
C
I mean, you think there's enough people where they can.
B
Kind of crazy, right?
C
Yeah. Population of Pakistan, like, must be a hundred million plus.
B
And it. But I think it's just a lot of. Yeah. It's like going. It's like going to high school in an Italian neighborhood. Everybody's cousins for some reason. So we're moving one country over to India. We do a lot of animal stories here on the show. India has a rise in sexual assaults on stray dogs after decriminalizing bestiality. What vote. What group of people sat down and went, bestiality? You know, it's been long enough. We got to stop.
C
And I'm sure there were people who were fighting tooth and Nail to. You know, they're like, my constituency is really against this. Like you're going to lose a lot of votes.
B
What in the. Also, how ugly must the women be? Jesus Christ.
D
A lot of them are so pretty. It's just that the voice is so bad. Like the. I've been yelled at in that accent quite often when I worked as a plumber in Edison, New Jersey. And it's. It doesn't matter what you look like at that point. It's just the audio torture pitch. Yeah. A pitch to a dude that's 100%. Yeah. They can hit notes that other people can't. But yeah.
C
And they're. They must be catching them in the act because obviously a dog.
B
Yeah. It's not going to tell anybody.
C
Can't tell on you.
B
Yeah, I know. I think I've seen. Not even like I've seen videos of people like beating a guy on the street because they're like, he my dog.
C
You my dog.
B
Well, you guess. Yeah. You my dog. What a great prank call that would be. You my dog, my dog. Was that Scott and Todd?
C
No, that was a. That was in the like Napster. No, that was one. Remember like when Napster was popping and everything was falsely attributed to people.
B
Yeah.
C
From what I've. I've done the research on that. That was actually a guy from Ms. Saga, Ontario and it's just like this oneoff thing and it went viral like before things could properly go viral. Like it's like if you actually try and figure out how it became this thing. I have no idea, but that's the best I can find. It wasn't the Jerky Boys. It was the most attributed to the Jerky Boys.
B
Okay.
C
Cuz there's a guy doing an Indian accent and they had the guy or whatever. But it wasn't the Jerky Boys for sure.
B
Yeah. Glenn Valor, Todd Pettengale used to do. Well, that was.
C
The thing is nobody, you couldn't attribute
B
it at the time. Todd Pettingale from Scott and Todd used to do Indian voice every once in a while.
C
Yeah. So they would just be like, I remember he was on Napster and like Limewire and the Jerky Boys. But it wasn't the Jerky.
B
That's the same like every parody song became Weird Al, right?
C
Yeah. Like everything.
B
Even though like he's not going to sing like about tequila or like he's not going to say they would give dirty songs to Weird Al.
C
Or there was like there was a. Remember there was like that bluegrass Gin and Juice cover and everybody just like, it was just always said it was fish, but it wasn't fish. It was like some other band.
B
Or it would be like Porn Slip, Knot, Deftones. Yeah.
C
Or whatever. They're just like, this is who it is.
B
All in one as the artist. And probably they all did a song together.
C
Pretty annoying at the time where you're like, yo, this is like hugely viral. We made it. And it just says, it's like someone else. There's nothing you can do about it.
B
I guess it wasn't really a way to monetize it back then.
C
No, there wasn't even a way. There wasn't social media you could even get out there and just be like, hey, everybody. Like, this is mine.
B
Yeah.
C
He couldn't even do that. It was just like, hey, the fucking. This people have just started saying, this is who it is. So this is who people think it is.
B
Shannon, do we have any other info on India and this Making bestiality decriminalized.
E
So just that in that section 377, which is what they kind of got rid of with their new laws, another part of that is non consensual same sex acts. So it seemed like maybe what they were trying to do was something progressive by not making it illegal for homosexual relationships. But then along with that also came sexual acts with animals.
D
And it's a slippery slope, Zach. You start letting them have sex with men, they're gonna start banging our dogs.
C
Yeah. Can you bang dogs of the opposite sex?
E
Not clear.
C
Not clear.
E
Also, acts with minors were on the same thing.
C
Really surreal.
B
So kind of it's a loophole. It's like how Freddy Krueger got out of jail. Like, it's still wrong, but they just found a loophole. Oh, so technically the dog counts. Because they don't. They, like, they don't care for dogs down there. Not fans. They have a holiday where they beat dogs.
D
It's like a rat type thing for them, isn't it?
B
Yeah. Because I was thinking, how many of all, like, the Indian and Arab guys I've ever met. I'm like, I don't think I've ever known a dog.
C
I have some Indian people in my building of dogs for sure.
B
Maybe. I mean, I'm thinking maybe now, but that might be a little.
C
But that's like, you know, generations in integrated.
B
Yeah. Generations in.
C
Yeah.
D
If you believe in reincarnation. Like, I always wondered this. There was one family that was on my route a lot, and they were nice enough people, but the house, like, just reeked of curry. It was permanent. I mean, they were first generation for sure. And then they had this golden retriever and I always remembered, like, he's like a nice dog, but like he was probably a bad person in a previous life because you come in with like the strongest possible sense of smell and
B
then you imagine what a dog smells.
D
Oh, yeah, that's got to be.
B
Jesus Christ. That's got to be sensory overload.
D
Yeah, I'm like, I'm wiping my eyes while I'm working and stuff like this poor dog, man.
B
That's got to be like when they put on your head with schizophrenics here.
C
Yeah.
B
And it's all the voices yelling at. That's got to be a dog in an Indian household.
D
Oh, sensory overload.
B
He's just rolling around on the floor holding his nose. Oh, all right. Hey, guys. Today's episode is brought to you by our good friends at Small batch Cigar. Simple, fast small batch.

Small batch cigar, simple, fast, small batch. Let's get back into the show. Before we get into. Let's do one more animal story. Shannon, you're not going to want to watch this. I have become accustomed. We've been watching a lot of people cooking iguanas because iguanas are falling out of the trees. And I was like, man, this is gross.
C
I mean, this has got to be similar like eating snakes and gators.
B
Oh, I don't think it's. I mean, just watching it.
C
Yeah.
B
Watching anything get down when you're not used to it.
C
Yeah.
B
When you're not is a little jarring for sure.
C
Well, I don't even love getting. Watching a chicken and get butchered.
B
No, of course it's not fun.
C
No.
B
But I'M a hypocrite. I like meat, but I don't want to watch it. Yeah, I did watch a video that I thought was pretty fascinating. And this is, I guess, a delicacy, maybe, but this is how to serve camel Humphrey.
D
Oh, boy.
B
Let's try camel hump. I'm in Qatar checking out the food scene, and this has been smoking for about 16 hours. And this is actually a baby camel, similar to how it's popular to eat lamb rather than sheep. I guess baby camels are more tender than adults. It's almost reminding me of lamb, especially with the honey. The sweetness even adds a bit more of a smoky flavor. I have to rate this. I'm giving this a 9.4 out of 10 high rating.
C
So I'm assuming the top is just the fat, then.
B
This is. This looks like a tumor. Honestly, I didn't even think there was going to be meat in this camel hump. I thought it was all fat. So this fat is actually what I was looking forward to. Just pure fat. It also left this interesting thick white residue on your fingertips, unlike any other meat. First, I put my spices. I mix it with ghee, cumin, cardamom, black pepper, black lemon, the dried lemon, garlic powder, onion powder. But mostly the taste will come from the broth, the chicken stock. So I will make a chicken stock, and I will keep pasting it. So you're smoking it for 16 hours, spritzing it every, what, like every two hours? Every 45 minutes. Wow. It's like a whole day event. Yes, yes. It takes a lot. The fat rendering takes a lot of time.
D
Have you mixed up with some.
C
Honestly, I know that looks gross. I bet that's pretty good.
B
I bet the meat part is great. The fat was a little. The fat?
C
Yeah. I wouldn't want to eat just pure fat off of it.
B
Maybe, you know, a little.
C
You gotta, like, kind of get it.
B
Like, the meat did look pretty okay.
C
Yeah, I bet that's pretty good.
B
And they said it was. Yeah, they said it's a young cat. They said old camel dries out.
C
Yeah, I bet that's pretty good.
B
I would give it a shot.
D
Start doing. I. I would because I. My mom's Armenian, so I. We. I've probably eaten weirder than that, but. Yeah, didn't he sneak that in there, though? He's like, oh, it's like a young. It's like a baby camel. That was. Yeah, but he skipped over saying, like, veal.
B
He said. He said that, like, how people prefer lamb over sheep or. Or goat or Whatever.
D
See, I never knew to make a distinction between lamb and sheep. So the lamb is the baby. I'm learning stuff right now.
B
Yeah. I think lamb is young.
C
I could be like veal, I guess.
D
Yeah, damn. All right, well, I'm a worse person than I thought.
B
Oh, please. You can't live in this area. And if you eat meat, not succumb to a lamb over rice every once in a while.
D
Oh, it's one of my favorite things. That's why I'm realizing I'm terrible.
B
No, it's great.
D
That's.
B
I get worried with the chicken now because I watched that video of a halal guy catching a pigeon in a garbage bag, and now I'm just thinking, yeah, now every once in a while, because I live in a Middle Eastern neighborhood, I'll see them feeding pigeons and I'm like, are they fucking putting them in the. No, I think they're catching them.
C
Oh, they're catching them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's possible. I mean, pigeon.
B
Yeah, no, they do. Well, my friend Jack Talis is a wrestler. He's in Japan right now. He just tried a horse sashimi.
C
Oh, yeah. I mean, that's like.
B
Sounds pretty good.
C
Germany and stuff, they eat horse sausage and horse. I would.
D
But sashimi is what, uncooked?
B
Yeah, it was raw horse. It was like tiny little slices of raw horse.
C
Sure, it's good.
B
Yeah.
C
Like, I don't want to be the first person to ever eat that. But once you're like, oh, yeah, yeah, we just, we all eat. This is fine.
B
You go.
C
All right.
D
You go in the Anthony Bourdain route where you're like, I'm not going to insult my hosts.
C
Yeah, I'm sure I would try a bite of it.
B
I've been. I've been try. I've been really thinking about. I want to try a steak cooked blue.
D
Yeah, that's where they just don't cook it at all. Right.
B
They basically like show it the pan.
C
They just. Yeah, they like sear it.
B
They sear it.
D
You ever do tartare? Yeah, yeah, that's pretty solid, man.
B
Yeah.
D
I remember thinking I was going to get sick the whole time. I was like, this might even be better.
B
My father in law used to just take pieces of trout meat raw, like if he was cooking and he would try the trout meat raw.
C
Yeah. As long as you eat it immediately after you grind it, I think.
B
Yeah, yeah. It would be like that.
C
Like eat ground beef because it'll make you sick. But I think if you, like, grind it immediately yeah, that's right.
B
Yeah, he would when he did it.
C
Yeah.
B
Now I want to try it. Now I want to try horse.
E
Shannon, I hate everything that's happening right now.
B
How much did you hate the camel hump?
E
I hate it. Also eating raw chopped meat. On the season of my strange Addiction. There is a lady who's addicted to eating chopped meat and she would just like walk around, I mean, obviously for the cameras, but like, just like rip the plastic off something from the grocery store and just like eat the raw meat. But the doctor said that that's like the worst of all the raw meats that you can eat because it's several different animals together. So it's more of a chance.
C
That's like, what, like stewing beef kind of like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't want to eat it if it's been cut.
B
I saw recently that if you eat fast food hamburgers that there may be as many as a hundred different cows. Oh, for sure. Mixed in.
C
Oh, yeah, yeah. Like McDonald's. Yeah. Because they make them in, like Giant. Yeah, at least 100.

B
Shannon is somebody's addiction. On my Strange Addiction this season. Smelling their dad's underwear.
E
Yeah, that was the last episode. It's pretty insane. And she had to reveal. Are you going to watch it? I don't want to ruin it.
B
No, please.
E
So she had to. She chose to reveal it to her father. And she's black. Her father's black. So he didn't love this. He was just basically like, that's fucking gross. You need help. Like, get out of my face. And she was so hurt by it. But it turns out like her mother abandoned her at a young age. Her dad actually had to take care of her, so it seems like, you know, an attachment thing to him. But, yeah, he was disgusted by her.
D
Just get, like, a picture of your dad.
E
Dirty underwear.
B
She.
E
She discovered it when she was, like, helping out the house and, like, doing laundry for everyone. And then, like, she would, like, grab clothes off the floor and, you know, just, like, do a quick smell check, clean or dirty. And then the first time she did that with her dad's underwear, she's like, ooh, this is. I love this. And ever since then, she's been taking
C
them, and she's, like, chloroforming herself constantly with her dad's dirty underwear.
E
Yeah, it's basically like vape. She's, like, vaping with it. She's just, like, constantly putting it over for her face and smelling it.
C
That's tough.
B
Vaping was a really specific way to say that. Yeah. All right, let's move on. Shannon. I. I don't know. Did the skanks cover the HGTV lady?
D
I think it happened after they filmed.
B
Okay. Did you see this lady from HGTV who got fired?
D
Might be the cutest way to say it ever.
B
You know, kp, you've had some blue collar jobs.
D
Certainly.
B
Danny, you're a man of the people.
C
Yeah.
B
Canadian. So maybe not quite.
C
You never heard those two words together?
B
Neither had I. At least not in that order. Not in any order.
C
Never.
B
For the people that have his chick. Nicole Curtis had her show canceled. And I guess this was from years ago, but the clip came out. She's putting up something, and she misses. And just in a moment of pure frustration, like when you stub your toe.
C
Yeah.
B
She just lets two words fly out, and it's fart in the N word. And it really made me giggle. Shannon.
E
Why?
C
It's my last one.
E
Oh, fart.
B
What the is that that I just said? Nick, you gotta. You gotta. Can you kill that?
C
My life.
B
Yep. She must be waiting. She must have been waiting every day since that moment.
C
Oh, yeah. She's like. I'm basically the equivalent of being in the EP file.
B
Shad, do. Do we know what it was from? I want to say it was from, like, 2018.
E
Oh, let me check.
B
But I think she said it again
C
when this came out.
B
No, this is.
D
Hopefully she got ahead of it. Now she's got a book coming out, you know, Far End Unleashed.
B
So they pulled her show and took it off streaming.
C
Yeah, I mean, HGTV is pretty family friendly content.
B
Yeah.
C
I mean, you have a pretty high standard for being on.
B
It just seems like everyone who watches this show has never been on a job site. No, no, that's just because that would be. I mean, that would be the nicest. There's days that when I used to work in welding, that was the nicest thing I heard all day. That would have been the highlight of my day.
C
Trying to be funny.
B
Yeah, that would have been the highlight of my day.
D
Had a dude from the Virgin Islands when I was working in a shipyard for a minute and I guess it was Obama versus Romney. And he walked in to go vote and I'll never forget it. Cause he told me, he goes. He goes, yeah. And this woman comes around, he goes, oh, look at this, another African American coming out to vote for Barack Obama. Good for you, young man. Good for you. He goes, don't ever call me dad again. I'm from the Virgin Islands. I can't stand Africans. I hate them. I hate them. I'm here. I'm not voting for Romney, though. Let me be clear.
B
I kind of miss those. I don't miss the schedule, I miss the characters.
D
Oh, is it's some of the best unprompted comedy ever. And just people that have an incredible skill set and no self awareness whatsoever.
B
That was the best part with welding because it's the best job you can get with the felonies.
C
Yeah.
B
So everybody I worked with was just done some shit. Yeah, it was great. We would have to. A lot of them lived in a motel and would work seasonally. And on Monday morning we would just see all the hookers getting kicked out while we were driving. They were the best. I worked with this guy named James who, I mean, Lord love a duck. Had to be one of the dumbest Americans to ever function. Like his toolbox said, do not open without writing. And my favorite one of my. We're working and we go to a little snack stand and he's staring at the sign and he goes, what the hell flavor is pinto ice cream? And I looked at him and I went, what? He was pinto ice cream? I never heard of that. I went, pint of ice cream?
C
Was that your kind of Good Will Hunting moment? Like, I got to get out of here?
B
No, he was. He was the nicest. I mean, yeah, him. And then I worked with a guy named George Miller and he had a tattoo above his dick that said Miller time. My dad ran the shop, or he's one of the guys that ran the shop and they Were all scared of him. So they would tell me things to not tell my dad. Be like, hey, like, cover for if they're late. And one day George was late, and he goes, please don't tell your dad why I'm late. I'm like, what happened? He goes, a squirrel fell in my truck. He was driving to work with his windows open, and he drove through a tree.
C
The squirrel fell in the sunroof and
B
bit him on the leg.
C
Really?
B
He veered off the road and he took his pants down in the locker room, and there was all these squirrel bites on his leg.
C
Holy.
B
Oh, it was the funniest thing, dude,
D
I think you have to tell that one because no one's going to give you a hard time when you can prove that.
C
When you're like this so crazy that this almost believable.
B
But wait, if you saw this guy and you said a squirrel fell at his truck today, you would go, yeah, yeah. That clocks.
D
The one. Foreman had a. The Louisiana guy. I think I told you about him once before, but nicest dude looks like Colonel Sanders. Truly looks like him. With a ponytail. And when he went to put his welding mask down, his ponytail shifted to the side and somebody in cursive had tattooed fuck you on the back of his neck. And we still can't figure out if he wanted that tattoo. Or someone held him down and gave it to him, and no one ever had the courage to ask.
B
Well, I told you about Charlie Smith, right?
D
I believe so.
B
Charlie Smith was a tugboat operator, and he was an old, old black guy in overalls. And his. His catchphrase was, all right, baby. All right, baby. And I'm a little.
C
I'm a little regular guys who have catchphrases.
B
I'm a. I'm a little. Little kid. And Charlie Smith, he had 42 kids.
A
What?
B
Because he's a tugboat operator. So he went up and down the east coast all day. So he just had kids everywhere impregnating women. And he goes, I got 42 hair kid. Some of them mentally tarted, but it's all right.
E
They work.
B
They work. It was mentally tart. Some of them were mentally tarted, but it was okay because they work. They work.
C
Yeah.
B
And then one time, I'm a little kid, and they're hooking up a boat to his tugboat, and he looks at the rope and he goes, man, I won't pull my dick. Oh, dude. Fucking blue collar. Blue collar. Fucking animals.
D
It's a different. Yeah. When you see, you know, a guy shit in a Bucket in the back of a van, and then just go right back to work. Yeah, that's always. It's a different kind of person.
B
Yeah. I had a guy that I got paired up with, and I worked with him for three months, and then he didn't come to work one day, and it was because he did coke all weekend, was drunk driving Sunday morning, and killed an old woman on her way to church. And that they just. That was, hey, where's. Whatever. Where's Phil? And they go, I killed an old lady. I said, and tried to run out of the hospital. He's going to jail for the rest of his life. Okay.
D
The. There was one guy that. This wasn't a job I was on. This was another foreman I had. And I said, oh, where'd you. He had this awesome multi tool. And I was like, where'd you get that? Like, what'd that cost you? He goes. He goes, well, it didn't cost me anything. The guy who owned it offed himself. And so what we did is we waited about a week out of respect, and then we just went through his locker at work and took what we wanted. It's another. It's such a. For all, like, the nobility that they show for it, where they're like, the guys out there working in the weather. Like, it is the greatest collection of scumbags this side of an open mic somewhere in, you know, the Upper east side.
B
Oh, yeah. Everybody had deep charges. Everybody had a. There was an origin story for every. The longer you work with somebody, the more the fucking details would crack. One of the people I talked about, I won't say which one. The first weekend I worked with him, I'm in a fucking van with him. Some other guy, and my dad's driving, and he looks. I mean, I met this guy that day, and he goes, yeah, My dad left when I was little because my mom caught him sucking my dick in my crib. And I just silenced now because what do you say? I went, how was it? And my dad goes, best he ever had. And then we just hung out for the day. We just drove around all day because
C
my mom told him that with that in the car, like, you couldn't just, like, come up with something. Yeah, you're the mom. You're just like. You just sucking your dick. So he had to leave.
B
But that was. I knew the guy for 40 minutes.
C
Yeah.
B
Yeah. And that kid. And he was so open with it.
D
A certain amount of candor comes out of, yeah.

I watched a video that made me feel old, irrelevant and angry. So most videos but this. And I want to get your guys take on it because I realize I am a 38 year old man and maybe I this does. Maybe this is just the world and I'm. I am a cranky old man yelling at clouds.
C
Yeah, we're doing kids these days.
B
This is a girl who does not seem that young to me answering the question on a podcast. What's the oldest movie you will watch? No, what's the oldest movie you're willing
E
to watch right now?
B
Probably like that I have watched or that I'm willing to watch right now. Like ideally if we're like sitting in front of the TV and we're like, what should we watch? And I can just say my opinion and I don't feel like I'm gonna be judged so careful. Not at all.
E
Not at all. None.
C
2010. That's amazing.
B
So 15 years.
C
Yeah, sometimes I still.
B
You have something. No, he's mad. I'm. He's mad as hell. He's.
C
He's beyond words.
B
Fight me after this. I'm going to move. Wait, I meant 1910 property outside of California.
D
That is Turkish times.
C
Yes, it is.
B
Okay. So did that hurt a little?
C
No, I don't think so. I'm trying to think, like, when I was probably, like, in 2005, like, I would watch the odd movie from, like, the 80s or 70s, like, the odd, like, classic. But I wasn't just, like, watching whatever from that time period.
B
I don't think. I don't think I could name that many good movies that have.
C
I mean, but it's also different because. Well.
B
Yeah. Since 2010.
C
Yeah. Yeah. Like, there. There haven't really been that many, but
B
has there been a. When was Hangover?
C
2011, I think. Or maybe actually was in the. Before 2010, because I've been a big budget, like a big. Like a blockbuster comedy. I think the last one that, like, cracked the top 100, because I was looking this up is Ted 2, which was 2014, was the last.
D
Like, that feels like a movie to me, too.
B
Jesus, that. It really does feel like a new movie.
E
Hangover came out in 2009.
C
There you go. 2009. Yeah.
B
Because I looked it up, because Walk
C
Hard movies are fucked right now.
B
Walk Hard, I think was 2004. And grandma's boy was 2003.
C
Yeah. No, it's.
B
Dude, I can't imagine being like, I want to watch the new Jurassic Parks, but I wouldn't watch Jurassic park do with this new.
C
Have you seen that sea dance thing or whatever with that? Like, I mean, it's. The cool thing about it is, I mean, it's bad for, like, the movie industry, but I don't give a shit about the movie industry. But, like, you know, like, all the fan fiction stuff. Like, everybody would, like, make fan fiction now. It's just gonna be like, people are making full movies, filling in the gaps of these stories that they just, like, you know, all the Star wars nerds where they're like, there needed to be, like, something in between this and this. It's like, it didn't make. And you go, okay, go make it. You're gonna get the shit suit out of you. I don't know where you're gonna put it up, but, like, I think there's gonna be all these people, like, all these just. All this stuff coming out, like, full episodes of shows that are over already that people just want to be like,
B
are they gonna have. I don't. I just feel like it hasn't figured out funny. I don't think it could be funny.
C
It's not the figuring out funny. You have to be as the person. Like, it's not gonna Be like, here's a single line prompt. Make me an episode of curb your enthusiasm. Like, you'll have to, you know, tweak it and, you know, kind of be a funny person to begin with. But what about stuff that's not funny? What about Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter or all this?
B
Yeah.
C
You're just like, here's the story.
B
Yeah. Is that the thing where they have, like, Tom Cruise fighting?
C
Yeah.
B
Like Brad Pitt.
C
Or Brad Pitt.
B
Or, like, are they, like, a Breaking Bad thing?
C
Breaking Bad Things. They made. I mean, they made. Like, there was one where it was. I saw one yesterday where it was Larry. It was Curb. And Larry, like, basically put huge tits. Like, he wanted to, like, use an AI feature, and he put huge tits on Schindler's List or whatever. So it was like, all, like, the girls in Schindler's List have huge tits. And they're like, why'd you put it on? Like, you could see how you're like, yeah, this is people. The. The fan fiction era will now be just people making the actual thing.
D
I've seen three ones that I really genuinely loved because I. I get it. It's weird. It's creepy how they're doing it, but the three I loved was. It was Roy Scheider from Jaws, and he's throwing the. You know, the fish food or the bait, rather. And. And instead of Jaws coming out, it's Pam Bondi telling him that the dow is over 50,000. That was pretty great. The other one I saw that was great was. It was Anakin Skywalker talking to Natalie Porter.
B
Yeah.
D
With the huge. And then they zoom out, and she's just got.
C
Yeah, well, they made. They take. They took the meme and made it like a video, which was pretty funny. But, like, the best is, you know, the Actors Guild, like, put out some statement being like, China, it's like, you got us. Yeah. Like China gives a shit about intellectual property. Like.
B
Yeah.
C
Like they give to you. Like, someone in China is like, oh, I didn't realize we were stealing your ip. My bad. Like, they don't give a shit.
D
You ever see the Chinese ending to Fight Club?
B
No.
D
Oh, it's. I might have talked to Zach about it before, but when they finally allowed Fight Club to be seen in China, they have, like, right before, like, Pixies plays at the end, it just fades to black and it says, tyler's friends alerted the authorities after he'd been behaving suspiciously. And luckily, they arrived in time, and Tyler is now getting all the help that he needs. No one was harmed. All the explosives were diffused. They're like, there is no revolution. That was their whole. Oh, dude, China's bad. I'm willing to say it. I'm a hero.
B
Yeah, well, they have their own edits, everything. Right. They get like a special take all
C
the black people out of their superhero movies.
B
Do they?
C
Well, the posters. Yeah. Like any like superhero movie where there's like a.
B
You know, like, you know, I would be mad, but after how good to were good were. Which were just Chinese propaganda movies. I love them and if that's what they're gonna give us. Do you give me a MEG every year? I'm down. Yeah, they were. Have you seen them? The MEG movies are. They're Chinese. They don't. Not in the trailer. But that. Yeah, they're half the cast is like all Chinese. And when I saw it both. I saw both in theaters and both times I was going fucking Chinese people here. And then they would like cheer when certain actors would come on and shit. Because it was a co production.
C
Right. Yeah.
D
So it's a lot with horror movies too. I feel like.
B
Well, those are like. More like. Some friends do that. They refer to them as developing nations. And you go shoot for cheap down there. You give everybody a ton of people in a town a job and it's not. They have their own film industry. So if you do that for a living, you can get them pretty cheap. So I have friends that will fly an American cast out for the main roles and then like finish it out there for non speaking roles. And they get. I believe that the term developing country is for a country where you should not drink the water.
C
Yeah. You at your own risk.
B
Yeah, for sure. Yeah. One of my friends, one of their producers is a boy of my size and they are having a meeting and the people from the other country they're going to are like. Your friend, the big guy. He. He's too big for our streets. If car is coming one way and your friend come other way, there is no room.
C
Yeah.
B
Between the house.
C
So you're warning him.
B
So your friend, he cannot walk the streets.
C
Too fat to walk.
B
Yeah. He was too fat to walk outside. If men with cars come one way and your friend the other way, one has to leave.
C
Yeah, that's funny.
D
Jesus.
C
But I don't even give a shit about the. The movie industry almost did this to themselves. You're like, yeah, you guys didn't put out anything new. So now people are just. Just gonna do the same.
B
I was trying to think What? Great. Like. And I mean, because I'm a horror nerd. So, like, for me, Hereditary, there's been great movies. Yeah. But, like, other than if Iron Man's in it, what has been like a fucking. Holy shit. Great movie of the last because 2010 just seems so. Shannon, did that make you hurt a little?
E
Yeah, but no, but she's like an idiot. She doesn't. She doesn't know anything. So you can't like, take that to heart. I did look up the best movies since 2010.
B
Yes, please.
E
I don't know that any. I don't know a lot of these necessarily count, but. So this one is 2010. That was inception, Mad Max, Fury Road.
B
That was a great movie.
D
Loved it.
E
12 Years a Slave, 2013, Whiplash. 2014, Arrival. That was a good one.
B
Yeah.
E
Yeah.
C
None of these have come out in the last decade.
E
But these are since 2010.
C
Yeah, yeah, but still, since 2010 would include two years ago and they're all just like, still 10 years ago.
E
Yeah, I'm not getting there yet.
B
They're in order.
D
Yeah, yeah. That's how, you know she was upset by it.
E
Logan. 2017. Get out. 2017, hereditary. 2018.
B
Those are all great. Yeah.
D
The Lighthouse was that. I remember seeing that in theater. That's the last movie I saw in a theater, I think.
E
Ex Machina, 2014, Skyfall, 2012, Captain America, 2014. There's your Iron man parasite. 2019, Room. 2015, Hacksaw Ridge, Toy Story, the Big Sick, 2017, the Lighthouse, 2019, the Martian, 2015, the Fighter, 2010.
B
Though it seems like very few, not great ones, it feels like everything that's a hit, it has to be a sequel at this point.
C
Yeah. And if that's what you're doing, then you're like, okay, well, people can just make that now.
B
Yeah, yeah.
C
We don't even need you.
B
Yeah.
C
Is the problem is you're like, yeah, they set up this system where they're like, yeah, we just reuse ip. Like every movie's reused ip, where you're like, well, now people can do that. So for apparently the Sea Dance 3.0, because like the big thing with all these AI models is you're like, yeah, you can only make 10 second clips. And apparently the next update of it is you're going to be able to make like 30 minutes at a time.
B
Jesus, that's going to be. Yeah, it's going to be a problem.
D
Chop it down to 22 minutes.
C
I just don't know where you're going to put them like, because there will be, like, Star wars nerds who are all, like, there's all these gaps in the story, you know, like, all Star Wars.
B
But you're saying they'll get struck for copyright.
C
Well, I just, like, you can't put it on YouTube, obviously. And, like, you know, obviously everybody who owns this IP is going to sue out the ass. So you're like. But I'm sure there'll be some kind of, like, underground sharing network.
D
Watch this be what takes down Rumble finally.
C
Yeah, well, you can't. I remember.
B
But if they don't name the character.
C
No, you can't use your face. You can't use people's faces. Like, you can't just use Brad Pitt's face.
B
But who would. He would sue you, though.
C
He would sue you if you're like, if you use. You go call this Star wars, they'll sue you. Like, everybody's going to be suing you. The question is. And, like, you know, if you put it up on YouTube, one of these things. Yeah, it'll get copyright immediately removed. But I'm sure there'll be some other thing. You know, maybe it'll go back to, like, torrenting or.
B
Yeah, like, people will start talking.
C
Yeah, it'll just be like, torrenting or stuff like that where you're just like, yeah, we. It's this underground thing where these nerds just, like, share the stuff amongst themselves and it'll get popular that way.
B
I don't know.
C
But people are gonna be making this stuff, like, a lot. Have you ever wondered if I was 15 right now?
B
Oh, yeah.
C
I would be cranking out full feature movies.
B
If I was 15 right now, I'd be cranking to fake porn.
C
That too. But, you know, there's only, you know, after you've done that 10 times a day, you're like, yeah, back to my fucking movie studio.
B
Have you ever watched any of, like, the Turkish ripoff movies?
C
No.
B
So for a lot, I don't know if it's still the case, but for a long time, there was just no copyright in Turkey, so you could just make Star Wars. So they would put out their own. Instead of putting out Star wars, they would put out their Star wars. And they could use music from other movies. They could just remake it. So there's a Turkish Exorcist, all the big hits. But they're fucking hilarious because they cost, like, $8. But then it'll be like, the soundtrack. So I think Turkish.
C
Yeah. Turkey has some weird thing, apparently. I've heard where if you use a VPN saying you're in Turkey. YouTube doesn't have any ads.
B
I did not know that.
C
Yeah, that's what I've heard. I've read that somewhere because I was trying to think of what this thing about Turkey. But it's like, yeah, if you use a VPN and say you're in Turkey, Turkey has some law and I believe it's Turkey. So porn doesn't have ads.
D
Porn, maybe it's a. Similar to a. Porn is banned in Dubai. So I lived there for a couple months when I was in the military. And every guy when I got into the country like, hey, you got a VPN right before you came over here? And I was like, no. And they're like, oh, dude, you're not gonna be able to watch any por the whole time you're here. And it was weird because there was little cracks in the system so like anything with multiple X's in it wasn't going to pop up there. The only porn streaming thing I found was just because it was like local jargon, I guess, specific to America. The website Slutty Red was able to. That was my little got through. Yeah. That was like my Death Star strike where I was like, this is the one avenue that this will work on. But yeah, vpn. It was crazy over there because even I bought movies in Dubai that didn't work when I brought them back to America.
C
Yeah. Because it's a. Well, like DVDs.
D
Yeah. One of it was.
C
It's a different Codex.
B
Yeah. It's a different format.
D
And it tripped me out because it looked the same. I was, you know.
C
Yeah.
D
I didn't think I was being as foolish as I was. And then there I was like, well, I guess that's. Yeah, yeah. Criterion Edition.
B
But yeah, that's the thing with people that collect movies too. You have to get a different DVD player for certain.
C
Yeah. Because there's like PAL format. Different ones.
B
It's the Raiders, the Lost Ark music a lot. And the Superman music. It's. And it's just a lot of horseback riding, you know, like Star Wars. You bring up the trailer for Turkish Star Wars. It's a great watch. I haven't done it. It's old.
C
It's all.
B
It's around from. It's very. Like they would pump these out like as the one was coming out. Right.
D
Indian Superman was real too.
B
Indian Spider man too.
D
Oh, dude. Italian Spider man still my favorite of the spoofs they did on that.
B
I don't think I've ever done this on spook. Show I. Maybe I should do after Black History Month. Maybe I'll bring up Turkish Star Wars. I know there's also Indian it.
D
Oh, that's got to be great.
B
Yeah. I don't think he kills people, though. I think he's just like a scary ghost. But it is an Indian guy. Yeah. Do you have a trailer for Turkish Star Wars?
E
Give me one second. YouTube is being a stupid asshole today. One second.
B
Don't worry, Shannon. No pressure. It's not your fault.
D
Just tell it you're from Turkey and there's no ads.
E
It keeps telling me every video I click on, this content isn't available until I go ahead and then back. Okay, just let me know if you think this is it.
B
Yeah, I don't know.
C
The early masterpiece of sci fi filmmaking.
B
Turkish Star Wars.
E
Who knows? Guessing no.
B
I mean, this isn't the real. This is a dub. Turkish Star Wars.
E
Do you want me to pull it?
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
E
Here. I don't know if you want to, like, see if one of these other ones looks like.
B
Yeah, bring it up for me, my friend.
D
The Armenians are rebelling again. We must put it down the sand people.
B
Do that one with the guy kicking.
E
Hold on.
B
Jesus. It's not your fault, Shannon.
E
Sorry. Hold on.
B
And make sure you take that out. Yeah, sorry.
E
They all know my email by now.
B

Talk a little Epstein shit. Did you guys see the video that resurfaced of the model claiming cannibalism at Epstein Island? No.
C
I heard something about this.
B
So chicken there's a couple of years ago got off a plane and she's yelling, they're eating people. And I am starting to really think because if you see the code words that they think jerky.
C
Jerky.
B
Yeah. They think jerky's flesh.
C
Yeah.
B
And here we go. White tuna, dead white woman, cheese pizza, chicken parm, child porn, chicken soup, child sex, hot dog, boy pizza, girl pasta, little boy cream cheese, newborn organic carrots, ginger girl, LSJ. Little St. James ice cream, male prostitute, walnut non white sauce, orgy jerky, human flesh.
C
Was it you who tweeted about the grape juice?
B
No.
C
Oh, I saw some tweet about it like what do you think grape juice is a reference to?
B
Yeah. And so this is Epstein saying, how do we deal with the frozen white tuna? A very regular sentence to email somebody.
C
Jerky will be.
B
Jerky will be with me when I get to lsj. I come tomorrow and take care of white tuna. If you'd like. I'm due back in NYC by this evening. Sent for my BlackBerry. I think this guy was dealing human flesh.
C
And prepare white tuna. It'd be nice to know who that was from. I guess we can't.
B
Oh, there.
D
There we go.
C
You know. You know he's in The Epstein files 2500 times deep and he.
D
He doesn't look good, boys.
C
Dude, I was. I searched his name. I went through so many of the emails with.
D
I'd love to be back at your island. I've been at a gig in Dayton,
C
Ohio right now full of pedophilia.
B
Looks like he was looking for puppies.
C
Yeah, dude, his whole deal too. He's such a Jew. His whole thing was like, he's like, yeah, I'm coming to the city. And. Because I guess Epstein had all these apartments everywhere, all over New York. So he's like, that were just empty. And he's like, I'm going to the city. I hate to have to get a hotel for myself. It's like, can I stay in one of your apartments? And there's like, these emails where he's like, so I was like, can I stay in your apartment from, like, this. This day to this day? And then can I leave my stuff in the closet and then I'll come back and stay in there afterwards? And he's just like. Like, Epstein was literally like, this is the kind of. This guy's dealing with is just like organizing Bobby Slayton to stay in his apartments.
B
Well, because I think Lewis Black got ahead of it on Joe, Sam and Mark show, where he said he had been at a dinner with Bobby Slayton, Epstein, Woody Allen, and Soon Yi, which optically, is not great.
C
No, not great. Fantastic filmmaker.
B
Yeah. Yeah. It's not good. It's really. Because, first of all, for you to be tight with Woody.
C
Yeah.
B
Is a look. Yeah. I'm not. No judgment.
C
It is weird that Mike Tyson has evaded all of this. Like, you could totally be friends with Mike Tyson, a convicted rapist, and people are just like, yeah, it's Mike Tyson. Iron Mike.
B
Yeah, they're over it.
C
Yeah, they're over it. You don't get any of the smoke. Like, nobody would ever be like, I can't believe you're friends with Mike Tyson.
B
It is funny that they. They. When they wouldn't let Mel Gibson be in Hangover, too. And it's like, Mike Tyson was in the first one.
C
Yeah, exactly. You know, you're like, what. What are these rules?
B
Yeah. Who, who, who? It's almost like a certain group of people.
C
Yeah, sure. Like, how do these rules work specifically?
B
I mean, it's just. It is funny that, like, every comic is in it, like, Norton's in it,
C
but that's because the Apollo 1 is the best.
B
Well. Oh, yeah.
C
The Apollo 1 is basically like, yeah, you're a little too controversial for me. I don't know if we can hang out anymore, essentially.
D
Okay, so DePaul, because I. I consider Nick a friend. But the. What I was hoping is what I think I heard you say DePaul was like, yeah, I got time for another fucking Jew in my life.
C
It was. No, it was literally, I've seen emails, DePaul, and goes, I was fun hanging. Like, let's do it again. Next time I'm in New York City and depal's like, yeah, it's like, it was cool hanging out with Woody and, you know, the food was amazing. Your place was amazing. But pretty controversial person. So I don't know, like, kind of like, I don't know when Nick and
D
Mel Gibson start coming out smelling like roses. Oh, man, what a wild one.
C
That's like the only guy who had any kind of integrity with this whole thing in any of this.
B
Rogan.
C
Well, and. But like depau in the actual email. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where Depaulo like, you know, kind of got roped into going to something probably like Woody Allen's there. So you're like, of course. And then afterwards, probably it can be started Googling Jeffrey Epstein. He goes, I don't know, it's a little too, too hot.
B
I'd imagine before a certain date if you didn't know. It's not like it was like a hot story the first time he got arrested.
C
No, like, if you hung out with him in 2010, you're just like, yeah, I don't know. I didn't google him. I just knew he was some rich guy. I never checked him out.
B
Did you see the painting of George W. Bush as a little kid on the floor with the paper planes? No, no. He's got. I think it was her. He has. So he obviously has the one of Clinton in the blue dress. We had another one and it's George W. Bush as a little kid sitting like crisscross applesauce on the floor with two paper planes throwing him at the twin tower.
D
Oh, man. So they could solve this.
B
There's more. So I don't know. One of the people that was definitely on Lolita express and received a foot massage in testimony, but then the girl said he did not try anything else. He that Epstein told her to give him a foot massage. And that was all that happened. Is Matt Groening really from the creator of the Simpsons? And Shannon, you want to bring up the Simpsons? And is this fake?
E
I don't think so. This appears to be real.
C
I like the Simpsons Epstein.
B
So a line from episode of Simpsons Air 26 years ago reads, warning, some creepy figures on an island are secretly running the world. And it appears when Homer is doing his fake QAnon.
C
Oh, with the Mr. X. Yeah.
B
And he was spreading rumors. One of them, some crazy creeps on an island somewhere secretly running the world. And this apparently crosses with the timeline of the eps of crazy and visiting Virginia Guthrie, now deceased EPC Epstein, trafficking victim, said she was on a private flight with Epstein and Simpsons creator Matt Groening when she was 16 and was directed to give Granny a foot massage. Though she cleared him of any wrongdoing. This is right around when the episode in question aired, huh? So this is a hiding in plain sight thing.
C
I don't know. Or maybe he owes us. And he owes us an explanation.
D
It's kind of his version of Eyes Wide Shut, maybe. Yeah, that's.
B
Yeah.
D
That movie keeps coming back into my algorithm every two to three days.
B
Oh, yeah. With the. That there's supposed to be an ending narration with the two guys leading the girl away.
D
Oh, yeah. And it's. They changed. What was it? The note that he reads. And then every. It's. You get lost deep in this one too. That's like Psych Warfare 101. Is apply misinformation and disinformation simultaneously to the point where you actually can't find the truth. I think that's what we're dealing with now.
B
Are you familiar with the Eyes Wide Shut thing?
C
The ending of it?
B
Yeah.
C
No.
B
So there it's. They finished it after Kubrick died, right?
D
Yeah, yeah. He had one screening.
C
Yeah, he had one screening. And then he died.
B
And then he died. So the end. Some people think that was supposed to be narration. And instead it's just a regular scene. And it's Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman and their daughter in a toy store. Now, if you watch the movie, there's two kind of background guys that keep popping up that almost seem like they're surveilling them the whole movie. And if you watch after Tom Cruise and Nicole Kimmin get back together, they're leaving and those two guys are leading their daughter out of the store. And they think that basically they traded that. They said they were. It's one of those things, like when you're in the cult, you're in forever. The theory is that the real ending of the movie was supposed to be that they traded their daughter to the cult in exchange to get out for their own lives. Whoa.
C
Dark, isn't I? As always. Based on, like, a book or something. Like an old book?
B
It might be. I'm not sure.
C
I think it was like, based on a book from, like the 20s or something.
D
Well, all the imagery they pull is from that Rothschild party in the 70s. Like all the weird, the masks and shit.
B
Yeah.
D
Was. It was called a surrealism ball or something like that. It gets. It gets nuts on that one.
B
Based on the dream story. German trial by Austrian Author Arthur Schnitzler Cooper still adapts to the psychological drama, shifting the setting from 20s Vienna to 90s New York City. But keeps the exploration of sexual obsession, jealousy and a secret masquerade cult. Yeah, because that, you know, they always say Kubrick was. Nothing is not intentional with everything.
C
Yeah, yeah.
B
Like all the. The. What would be gaffes in the Shining, you know, or mistakes are death. Like chairs moving. Yeah. Labels on shit moving.
C
Yeah.
E
Those.
B
Those weren't. He was autistic out of his mind.
C
Those aren't like continuity fuck up.
B
Nobody fucked up. He was fucking around with it.
C
Yeah.
B
Because I think it's also to keep you lost feeling the whole movie because like in the Shining, the hotel doesn't make sense. Like it's. The hotel is. The geography of the hotel is impossible. Right. So like when he goes in for the job interview, he's in the middle of the hotel. And then when he goes into that office, it's got bay windows facing outside.
C
Right.
B
So like they say it's basically narrator versus reality. And that's like.
C
Just keeps you disoriented.
B
Yeah. And also it's whoever's perspective you're watching, you're watching their memory of what happened as opposed to necessarily what actually happened.
D
We saw the. The made for TV version of the Shining. Right.
B
Oh, it's awful.
D
It is. It's like a different version or just cut for tv.
B
Directed it. It was on. It was a Sci Fi original, I believe.
D
Was it.
B
Or it was on the Sci Fi Channel.
D
Why is it.
B
Very good question.
C
In the 90s, would they be like, we need to remake.
B
I talk about the Shining a lot. So for people that are sick of me, I apologize. Stephen King hates the movie because he thinks it's a movie about a crazy guy and not a house that makes a guy go crazy.
C
Okay.
B
Our hotel. That makes a guy go crazy.
C
Yeah.
B
So he always thought Jack Nicholson was too recognizable. Mugging it too much. He basically. To Jack Nicholson.
C
Yeah.
B
But in reality also, I've said this before. Kubrick's. Kubrick's dad was a drunk and he hated drunks. Stephen King was an alcoholic. So he had sympathy for the Jack character that Kubrick did not.
C
Gotcha.
B
But yeah. Oh, where's. Oh, they hate it. So Mick Garris, who's one of like Stephen King's boys. So we're going to make a book accurate TV movie so, you know, no acts. It's a croquet mallet. Like in the book. There's no hedge maze. It's topiary Dinosaurs and monsters and shit. And it stinks.
D
Yeah. And instead of Jack Nicholson. Did you ever watch Wings?
C
Yeah, yeah.
D
They got the funny brother from Wings. Stephen Weber. Yeah, yeah, Stephen Weber. So they got him on that. Which is also weird because the guy who plays his brother Lyle was the funny brother.
B
Well, lol.
D
LOL is Thomas Hayden. Sure, he steals that show. But of the two brothers, it's. Stephen Webber is in the Shining, and then the other one he made the Storm of the Century. Storm of the Century is Joe Hackett. So it's Joe and Brian Hackett. So the lead two actors on Wings both got into Stephen King adaptations in the 90s for some reason. It's like a weird thing. Just doesn't make any sense. Probably same agents as my guess. But yeah, it was pretty. King loves that one.
C
Cheaper than just like licensing to air it on tv. Like, it was that what it was.
B
No, it was specifically Stephen King hates the movie. He wants his. He wanted his.
C
That's like his fingerprints kind of all over the actual. Yeah, gotcha.
B
Because Kubrick didn't play that shit. Kubrick took source material as the source. But I. Yeah, I'm not going to let it get in the way of my movie. Right. And so, yeah, it was also too hot.
D
The. The wife in the tv, Rebecca De Mornay, she's just too hot. Like, it throws everything off because you're like, you need. What's the actress's name from the Real Shining movie?
B
Shelley Duvall.
D
She's so unhinged and perfect in that.
B
That.
D
That's why I think she likes. She's iconic to that movie. And then you're just like, oh, what if it was like a hot blonde girl that, you know, you're kind of terrorizing? You're like, all right, cool. And then like she shows up in like a short skirt and you're like, all right, I'm out of the movie now, guys, I hate to tell you,
B
the kids got buck teeth and they bother the fucking shit out of me.
D
It's. He was in Little Rascals.
B
Yeah. Yes. I hate him. And I hate him so much. I hate his face.
D
It's on Tubi if you want to be angry for four hours.
B
Oh, yeah. And it was a two day miniseries, I think. Like it. So, yeah, it's four hours.
D
It was a rough watch to get through it.
B
All right, what else do we got to. Oh, do we have the video of the girl saying cannibalism on the Island?
E
Yes.
B
It's 2009.
D
So they.
B
They ate humans. Disgusting. They ate humans. In 2009, Mexican model Gabriella Rico Jimenez, then 21, surfaced in a viral video alleging cannibalism, multiple murders and. And elite ritual activity at a party in Monterey that she claimed was connected to Jeffrey Epstein's network. She was swiftly arrested and subsequently disappeared. Shannon, did I get fooled?
E
No, this is. I actually brought this one to you, so this isn't something that I would get you on, but I did look it up and she is actually missing. This really did happen.
B
It's not looking good. No.
D
Did you see the. The latest reclamation projects? Because of course there's going to be people jumping in to try to spin their own narrative to it, but the latest reclamation project is that Michael Jackson knew about all this and was trying to stop him.
B
Yeah, they supposedly Macaulay Culkin was on his way on a plane and he stopped it.
C
No, Macaulay don't go.
B
And Neverland stood for Never the Island. Never go to the Island. This is. This is very. This is a black Twitter thing. Yeah, he was actually. He saved all those children from going to Jeffrey Epstein.
C
Michael Jackson slander.
B
Yeah.
D
They're trying to save Michael Jackson's reputation the same way that, like every blue collar guy's. Like, I think Mel Gibson gets a bad rep. Like, that's the two.
B
See, Michael Jackson should have released a few more good songs after the mo. The molesting. And we would have given him a pat. Passion of the Christ, really. It'll clean you up. And then Apocalypto, by the end of it, I was like, just a great filmmaker. I can't get mad. And he's back in Daddy's home and he's doing comedy again.
A
Yeah.
B
Nobody gives a shit.
C
Gotta separate the two.
D
The Wahlberg one, they did. Made me laugh when I saw the trailer.
B
The.
D
The latest Mel Gibson movie, because they just tout it in the trailer from the director of Braveheart and Apocalypto, and then they just don't say his name.
B
So other people that I guess have been named in this. Apparently more than one person that Ted Kaczynski had sent bombs to when the Unabomber was active. The professors were in contact, really, with Epstein, so. Point. Point, Teddy.
C
Okay.
B
Also, I believe the CEOs of Chuck E. Cheese and the guy who runs School Picture Day.
C
School Picture Day.
B
That's tough.
C
That's tough.
B
That's a tough. Look, Chuck E. Cheese put out a statement saying that he is not resigned. Their CEO, or whatever it was, was not resigning. He was being transferred to another company. And this is just coincidental that he is being. Changing positions.
D
Yes. Bishop Mackenzie is leaving this parish in Boston and we're sending him over to Nicaragua now.
B
Yeah, I. It's not a good is bad. Was it a dentist or a doctor that had the email that said to play sounds of a heartbeat or the mother to make babies suck harder?
D
You're on another level right now, Zach.
B
It was literally like. And you know, like, if you have a child that's suckling, if you play. I want to say it was a mom's heartbeat or something like that. It will. It will get them to suck harder and faster.
C
Oh, that's. I've seen files.
B
Yeah, it's an email from a. I want to say a dentist or a Dr. Shannon. Am I crazy?
E
I'm looking.
B
Look that up and then we'll call
D
the show Dr. Isaac Yankum.
B
It's. Yeah, there's some deep, dark shit in there, man. And I don't want to be Conspiracy Zach all the time, but the more you see, the more you're like, fuck yeah.
D
How do you. How do you read any of this stuff and then not become loosely conspiratorial? That's. It's.
B
And then it was such a major operation for so long.
D
Well, we wanted to do. I thought it'd be hilarious to do on Loser. We were going to do take the redacted sections of certain things and then have everybody play Mad Libs. Like, I'd be, hey, Paco, give me a place we shouldn't be. And then at the end of it, then I would just read what it was. But every single paragraph I read, I'm like, this is too sad. Yeah, I'm not finding anything funny to
B
play with in here, Shannon. Did I get that wrong?
E
I'm trying to find it. Not yet.
B
All right, we'll do one more thing, I guess, before we get out of here. Here we go. Here's some classic. Parents brawl at youth basketball game in Staten Island.
D
Now we're talking.
B
Landed on a feel good story and get my bros out of here.
D
I'm waiting for Shannon to be like, but it was my nephew and he was completely allowed to do this.
B
They bust him in from other neighborhoods. Obtained by the Staten island advance shows two moms at a sixth grade boys basketball game taking shots at each other. Catholic Youth Organization officials say the violence of unfolded at St. Teresa St. Rita's Dream Academy during a game between the school and St. Clair's on Dec. 20. Instead of being responsible adults, they let it go, let it rip.
C
And I just thought
B
if you're making the official statement to the news, I don't think you can say, yeah, they let it rip out there. In light of what happened, Staten Island Borough president Vito Fossella and the Catholic Youth organization, which oversees parish based sports, announced today new rules to ensure spectators are no longer acting out of bounds. If you've thrown or removed from a gymnasium, from a referee, you've a one year ban. If it happens twice, lifetime. And if there's a fight or physical altercation, you take your hoop earrings out
D
first, then you do it.
B
Leaders say up until now, altercations at CYO games have been handled on a case by case basis. Not only have the fighting moms check. Children been suspended for the rest of the basketball season, two families got involved in.
C
In and their families have been banned from CY Video.
D
Dude, the one mom's kind of hot.
B
That's crazy that that wasn't already the rule.
C
Yeah, that seems like a pretty standard rule. I can see how that happens, though. I was at.
B
Oh yeah, people get.
C
No, my friend, his kid plays like high level hockey, but he's like 8 years old. He was in Canada and he was playing a tournament at that American Dream
D
mall, you know, in Jersey.
C
Rink in Jersey. And so I went and met him. I hadn't seen him in a while, so I was like, I'll come and just like, you know, watch your kids hockey tournament. We'll hang out. And you're like sitting there and there's like stands and there's other parents. But like, you, you forget that these are like kids and you're just watching a hockey game. So like, we'd be like, well, that kid sucks. Like, oh man, that kid's terrible. But then you're like, yeah, his mom's sitting right there, right? And you're like, you forget that. Like you're not. Because they're pretty good, these kids. But then you're obviously like, some of them suck. And you're just like, oh, man, that's. And then you're like, your mom's. The mom's like, what the did you just say? Like, you could see how you could get kind of lost in the fact you're watching sports and just start shit talking.
B
These kids, like, they're just actual athletes in my experience. And this is just from wrestling in high school for some reason, the Catholic schools, the parents were ready to throw down.
D
In theory. They were. That's why.
B
Yeah, actually. Yeah. The parents were always so ready to go and fight. Screaming, cursing. Yeah, fight a lot Of Dan fights.
C
Yeah, it happens, kid. They get fired up. They probably. They're like, this cost me so much money. This kid's playing. Like, all my time and money is being spent in my kid playing this
B
sport before we get out of here. Kp. So you got a boy on the way?
D
I do.
B
If you. If you got choice. Not that you're gonna force him into sports if you got a choice. What's he playing?
D
Wrestling's always good. Too useful. Too useful of a thing. The plus, he's gonna be the youngest because Carly's got. I got my two stepsons that are older.
B
Oh, yeah. We gotta get this kid some training.
D
So I want him training as fast. I want him to be able to. The day they think they can go after my son, for my son to just go Bruce Lee on him and just, you know, be like water and just let. You know, just give these kids the ass whooping that I've been dreaming of.
B
Oh, you can start training them now.
D
Yeah. So he's my proxy. I'm gonna say, listen, I wanna tell you some of the stuff that these guys have done to your mom over the years.
C
Let's just.
D
A little psychological warfare, all right?
B
Start teaching them liver shots now.
D
I want Mickey Ward. I want Mickey Ward coming out of the womb pretty much.
