Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this afternoon edition of
Frank Trentvin Police Squad. I'm Miles Gray and I'm joined
by today's guest co host, Plumper mcdo Hi.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
It's me Plumper McDow, Hello Internet, good to see you.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Your rather name I think I've ever fucking come up with,
but I love it because the bars low y'all the
bar is fucking low. Yeah. Blake Wexler, good to see you.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Bro, Bro, it's great to see you too.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
My buddies and I used to play a game where
it'd be like police, what's your name? And you had
to like say a name as quickly as possible.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Oh, helly, please, what's your name?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
And it was always like my my, now remember the.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Please what's your name? Police? What's your name?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Cormack von Strussel, terrible name, terrible name. My wife when
I first did it with her, like she goes Jenny Jenny,
Like your name's Jennifer Jenny.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Bro. That's like from Orange County, that scene where Jack
Black's character Lance is in the administrative building that's on
fire and Ben stillers the firefighter asking what his name
is and he's like He's like, what's your name man,
He's like Joe Joe John Joe Jo your name is
Joe John Johnson, Joe.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
And Joe Johnson the shooting guard God.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Well yeah from the nets, dude, mm hmm. He was
from everywhere one on one one thing called him Solo
Joe or something with that his nickname in the league
or something because he bro he'll bust your ass one
on one.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Yeah, he was.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
So he was underrated, like he was like almost like
a sharief up dur raheemer like everybody who played had
a lot of respect, but maybe fans didn't know.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah, unless you were a fan of the team Joe
Johnson played on, you were probably underrating him, exactly myself included. Anyway,
we're here to tell you what's trending, not about washed
basketball references. That's what mileson Jack got mad boostis is
for GE's that there. But the first thing that's trending
he might have guessed it based on the title. The
Naked Gun teaser came out last week. I don't know
(01:58):
how the fuck I missed this because because I love
those movies, like I just love that was I remember
as a kid the first genre I could articulate saying
was my favorite, and they were parody films. Basically, I
was like, I like parody movies, hot Shots, hot Shots
part do Okay, those weren't that great, to be honest,
(02:19):
compared to this shit. But the new Naked Gun teaser
came out, the one that stars Liam Neeson. It's a
what is it? Akiva Schaeffer from The Only Land is
directing it. First thoughts on that teaser mine positive, Mine.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Very positive, And I was very nervous because I hold
Naked Gun in high esteem. You know, I'm sure if
I went back and watched there was probably an incredible
amount of problematic things in it.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
But no, no, I watched it recently. The race stuff,
the homophobia, other stuff is fine.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
It's fine, yeah, yeah, okay, good to enough.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Surprisingly, though I watched it a few months ago, and
maybe I'm completely memory if it was, but I remember
being like, oh, it's it's not as bad, but hey, yesh,
the nineties, y'all.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
That y's where the bar is is as bad as
you would think it would a but Nisan I was
a little nervous about, and he can't it seems like
he might be funny. And then the jokes in the
trailer are very you know, naked gunny, and I mean
that in a very positive way. So I laughed. It
(03:28):
made me laugh twice. You know, I thought it was good.
What were your thoughts?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yeah, I love that. I love the OJ reference. I
just you know, I feel like it had that same
like as if it were the Zuckers behind it. It's
clear that the writers also respect the source material because
it had that same tone. So I don't know, we'll see,
we'll see. Next thing trending Firefest two. Billy McFarland says
(03:54):
it's happening. We talked about this maybe last month about
how he was like, it's coming end of May, early June.
Buckle the fuck up. It's gonna be at Islam Muhtas
in Mexico. Are you ready? Then the Tourism board of
Isla Muhetes said, quote, we have no knowledge of this event,
nor contact with any person or company about it. For us,
(04:18):
this is an event that does not exist. Pretty clear.
So we were like, hey, Billy, you fucking scammer allegedly,
what do you what do you make of this? He's
now switched it up and said the festival is actually
gonna be Impliadil Carmen. Guess what the officials of Pliodel
Carmen have just announced on their website. Quote, in light
of rumors about an event called fire to we inform
(04:40):
you that no event with that name will be held
in Pliodel Carmen after a responsible review. There is no
registration or planning in the municipality. Uh, Billy, Billy, Actually, yeah,
this Tullem. It's gonna be in Tullem, this event tullamore Do. Yeah,
it's going to be sponsored by tullamore Do. And we're
purposely mispronouncing to Loom, which I hear is also being
(05:03):
overran by like digital American nomads, because that's the new
thing out there. But he did say they're like, what
about artists. He's like, oh, it's me artists. You see
the website timeline. We're about to be sending out artist
invitation letters. Bro. The fucking thing is at the end
of next month. You're now setting out artist invitation letters,
(05:24):
Which sounds like the most pathetic way of getting rejected
is you're like, I sent the artist invitation letters.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
You mean you vped Yeah, knowing RSVP to perform.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
You know. The only there's only one public facing figure
that has said publicly that they will be attending fire
to you know who. That is Antonio Brown.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
And that guy has his shit together, so you can
lean on that guy.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I was like, wow, that is
the worst look of all. All you have is Antonio
Brown being like, yeah, I'll be there. Oh okay, Well,
I guess that's fine to have former NFL player Antonio
Brown is your one guest. But hey, Billy, do your thing.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It might be a new form of tourism where there's
like adventure tourism and you know, gastro tourism. I think
this might be scam tourism where it's like, you know
you're going to be scammed basically, you know, that's really
the only way this can happen. So yeah, if it
does happen at all, it would be the biggest bummer
(06:29):
if there is nothing and people just sink their money
into and get not even a bad sandwich.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I think what you do is plan your vacation to
be to coincide with Firefest. That way you don't have
to have the risk of just giving your money away
to a convicted fucking scammer. Is you you can basically
be like, hey, while we're there, you know what we
could do. We could go walk by where the firefest
(06:55):
is supposed to be and take some pictures and if
it's popping, which it won't be, we can get some
pretty good videos for our Instagram stories.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
So yeah, take dinner reservations that you can cancel on
the one percent chance that this festival happens while you're there.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I can't wait till you know, inevitably it's going to
hit something where he's either gonna go whole hog and
be like insists it's happening and we're going to get
to see some nightmare scenario play out, or i'd imagine
because it's not like last time where he like wowed
people with that Instagram launch video, you're not gonna have
a lot of takers and like du to low demand
or unforeseen things that we're gonna have to cancel this. Yeah,
(07:33):
because no, everyone's onto you, because I don't even think
people ironically want to get scammed, and I would rather
do the thing we're talking about. I'll go near it
and be like look at that shit. Okay bye, then
be like Billy, I gave you five thousand dollars? What
the fuck?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
How did this happen?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
That's called playing yourself? Okay, like Aiden Ross did, which
you'll hear about in tomorrow's episode.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
You get to hear him read It's great.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Quick question, do you know what the secret is to
Jessica Simpson's voice?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Tell me if you if you know, well, this is
switch switches.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I mean no. According to a TMZ thing that came
out and she confirmed today she likes to drink a
Chinese herb cocktail that has snake sperm in it. So
I didn't know that was a thing. Uh And as
a podcaster, hook it up? You know what I mean,
because she says she credits that that helps her vocal cords.
Is this tonic with the snake sperm? So yeah, if
(08:32):
you all got some snake sperm, come up off it.
I'm trying to keep this show going.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
This might be a thing where like you don't know
how many spiders you eat in a lifetime, Like.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Who knows how snakes on some off?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I like that for you, it's actively filating a fucking
serpent rather than who knows what kind of fucking snake
sperm got in this wacky dish. I ate cookies, You're like,
scratch your head. Damn did I suck off of King Kole?
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I acted up? I was acting out last night.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I don't even knowing, Gobra, how many spiders?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You wait? So stupid, dud uh. Anyway, It's just it
was fun to say snake sperm and be kids and
be like and they drink it for their voice. But
if that ship, if that ship's banging, let me know. Yeah,
and Nick Lache, maybe you should too, man, because dude,
(09:35):
you you's do you look so washed on? Love is blind? Man?
I can't. I can't keep saying the snick, but like,
holy shit, without Vanessa, you are fucking nothing.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
It's like a Madam Tussoude situation with him Murde, this
like very sad, like wax Man. He is boosted by
his wife, like.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Musk, like Elon must playing a video game. You boosted, sir? Yes, bro,
you should really shouldn't even be here. Just let me, like,
let Vanessa do the fuck, please let her do her thing. Man,
It's yeah, he's only looks confused and always does. Somebody's like,
I don't know, man, am I old? Yeah, I don't know.
It's not that you're old, bro, He's just not interesting
and you clearly I think you are in nineteen ninety
(10:19):
eight degrees bro, And that's fine, but you were always
defined by the women that you were next to. All right,
let's take a quick break. We'll come back because damn
I have more movies to talk about.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
After this, and we're back.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
We talked about the Minecraft movie on yesterday's episode because
people the kids were turning up so crazy during the
Minecraft film, like they were throwing their drinks and popcorns
and shit. Now movie theaters are posting warnings against Minecraft behavior.
They're saying, screaming and taking part in TikTok trends will
not be tolerated. Guess what, motherfuckers, you think that's gonna
(11:03):
stop these fucking kids, think the fuck again. They are
going to go. I look, I was a shitthead teenager before. Yeah,
if I saw a sign like that, I would be like, oh,
this is a challenge to get me thrown out of here.
So look, uh, this is this is their Barbie movie
(11:24):
or some shit, you know what I mean. And the
kids are gonna kid, although don't throw the shit around
and make it harder for the people cleaning up the
fucking theater. That's already a fucking thankless job.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
So that's the way part.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Yeah, that's like the one because i'm how are you
what's your movie theater etiquette with your post post movie
theater watching cleanup? Are you one of these fucking pieces
of shit that just leaves the shit in there?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
You st And I don't do that at stadiums either,
because stadiums, I think people are more apt to do
it because it's outside. And it's like, I don't blow
away or something, you know, but no, I pick up,
I take away what I bring, or I take away
what I leave something intelligent, but no, I clean up.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I also feel bad.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I mean, I'll drop a few popcorn pieces and I'll
miss them, you know, so like right, maybe I'll leave
some popcorn traces, but right.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, yeah, I think, yeah, that is true. People do that,
now that you think about it. The stadium sometimes I
do leave ship out. I got. Yeah, it's weird how
different that is, I think because half the time I'm
leaving before a fucking game ends. Too. You're in a
ruck man, trust fucking traffic out of this. No, we're gone,
We're gone.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
And if you're not driving. You might have had a
few drinks, so like you could miss a few things,
you know, m yeah, yeah, man an airplane, I leave everything,
I like, Oh, I am every animal. Yeah, just I
hold pop pie, I leave underneath the seat.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I leave the.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Pop pie on the seat and I sit on it
and just mush it in there, and then I get
up pop pile all over my ass and on the seat.
I don't care. I'm a fucking wreck. All right, let's
take a did we take a break? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
we're back actually from that break. Sorry. There's also rumors,
(13:10):
not rumors, like there's a new I Am Legend two
coming out with Michael B. Jordan and Will Smith. I'm like, wait,
what did you? Did you know? So the whole thing
is it's based on the alternate ending that was only
on the DVD where he doesn't blow himself up in
that lap. I had no idea.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
They're going to bring the dog back. I know, That's
all I care about.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Stopped. My boycotted listening to Bob Marley after that because
he was saying, don't you that that point that is
kind of hard on you. It's kind of like it's
cannon on this show. Because I always talk about my
friend who I had, like the screener when it came out,
because my mom was getting screeners at the time, and we're, no, bro,
we got I am legend, come through whatever, we get. Hi,
(13:52):
I watch it. When that scene happened, he left, He
got up and left. He was like, Bro, I can't
watch this, Bro, I don't want to see no dog
get choked out. He's even if it did turn into
a zombie, He's like, I'm not for that, and he
like left, went home and drove home, and we're like, what,
oh shit, I didn't sorry, didn't know. Didn't know.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
You can't can't joke about or show violence to dogs.
You just can't get away with it.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
It's it's weird. It's look, we've got weird stuff going
on in this country where we're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, humans, whateverever. Dog?
Are you fucking trying to give me like nightmares for life?
But yeah, this film ends where he doesn't die. And
now there's like another colony, I guess in Vermont or
some shit, and they get the it's on YouTube. I
(14:37):
didn't bother watching it. I also didn't have, like I said,
I had the screener version, so I saw whatever's in
the theater and didn't think about it again. For them
to be like, oh yeah, this sequels about a version
of the movie that doesn't exist in theaters that you
didn't see. I think it's fucking weird. And also like,
I don't were we necessarily clam clamoring for another I
Am Legend too, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah, I don't think so either. I think that old
men have related to I Am Legend in a way
where they just wanted to picture a world where no
one else was around and it was just them and
their dog and they can just play golf, you know,
in like downtown Manhattan or wherever the thing was set place.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I do think that it is, like I don't know,
I would watch it.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I think I would watch I think it was the
right age when it came out that like I was
just in full movie mode and it didn't matter if
the movie was good or bad. It was just like
I'm gonna go to the movies and not even have
picked out what movie I wanted to go to, you
know when I got there.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I mean it's just weird. I just haven't thought about it.
And then when I read the thing and it's like
it's actually based on the alternate ending, I was like, what,
this is too much? But whatever, I guess I'll see.
What I really wanted is a prequel made with that
mannequin his friend Fred, who He's like, I want to
know what the fuck Fred is up to? What is doing?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
How did Fred get there?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Look a lot a lot of fan theories about that.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
It's Michael B. Jordan and Fred.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Dude, don't spoiler to make me spoilers anyway. Also Disneylandney
it was a good story from producer Victor in SFGate.
There was like sort of like Disneyland drops America's latest
recession indicator. Have you heard of Club thirty three at Disneyland.
It's like that very yeah, it's like very like you
better know somebody to get in here, and it's not easy,
(16:30):
and if you do, there is like a seven hundred
year waiting list to get on. Apparently some keen eyed
Disney fans noticed on their app that there was like
a new a section added about Club thirty three and
how you can maybe find out how to get in.
Before this was not some shit that you could do,
And people are like Ooh, if you're hitting the red
(16:53):
button and opening up Club thirty three to like the
general public, maybe things aren't going so well because I
mean there's been a lot of reports about how like
the parks are not as profitable as they were, maybe
because the prices are so prohibitive you can't even It's
like catering to an America that doesn't even exist. There
was a version it's like crazy because people went to
(17:15):
Disneyland because it was somewhat affordable, and people grew up
with their families being able to go enough times that they,
you know, created that culture within a family to be
like we go to disney World or Disneyland. Now this
shit is like I went fucking what was it November
of twenty twenty three. Man, the amount of fucking money
I spent. I've spent money to get on a fucking
(17:37):
ride because my baby was so tired. I was like, Bro,
this is fucking bullshit. None of this makes sense. Everything's
so expensive, everything's done through an app. It doesn't work.
So part of me is like, yeah, okay, this makes
sense because you guys are fucking around, they're opening it up.
You know what the costs the registration costs they rumored
to be between thirty thousand and one hundred thousand, and
(17:58):
then you have like annual dues, so like a country club, yes, exactly,
the country club for I guess racists, because what Disney
was such a racist But then that's a regular country club.
But then there's mystical shit. But then you're in you're
in the little little New Orleans pass. So yeah, producer
(18:19):
Victor in the chat fast Pass used to be free. Yep,
I saw the defunct land video. Now it's an add on.
And if you want to do the new Star Wars ride, yeah,
you've paid extra thirty exactly. I paid fucking forty dollars
or some shit thirty bucks to get on that Star
Wars Rise of the Resistance ride. And I'm not mad
because the ride was good, But I am mad because
why the fuck did I pay for a ticket? If
I'm paying for ala carte rides, it's fucking predatory. Fuck
(18:43):
that fuck Club thirty three. If we get in there,
we should be fucking crashing out in there and making
it so nobody can go in there.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I agree you had such a great point of what
like what America is this for? You know where it's
priced out most people. Yeah, with how expensive it is,
and then if you can afford it, you're the type
of person who probably wants the privileges of You don't
want to be waiting in lines, you know, like you're
you're not a You're not a funnel cake guy. Just
(19:10):
imagine if it's it's nuts. It's like going go for
the sourdough bread bulls. Yeah, yes, and I make it
last throughout the day. Yeah, it's really and then I
sit in it Jesus way back. But yeah, no, it's
it's rough. I remember I used to work at ABC
like a while ago, and I would get free.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I could go for free to.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Disney and even getting down there was such enough of
a pain in the ass. I only did it once,
you know, and I watched the Flyers in a bar.
It was was pretty complete waste of you.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Went to Disneyland to watch a Flyers game.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
My girlfriend at the time and her friend went on
the rides and I met up with them later.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
You like, I don't like this Disney crap. And then
you're shedding a tear at the bar watching the Flyers.
Fucking it's I'm a bigger loser. John Leclair's final game,
they're replaying it.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Yeah you know the names, you know the names?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Hell, yeah, bro did no Vegkin score his like record
breaking goal against the Flyers Island different? I think maybe
it was it was the Island, Oh, yes, it was,
it was.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
It was it was I think Putin's buddy buddy Andrevegkin.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Yeah, yeah, it's so funny. I remember that guy first
got into the NHL, Like all the stories about like
how he brought his mom on all the road trips
and shit, like it was his mom in a PlayStation
is what he traveled with.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Now he has FSB handlers that they like didn't.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Let him drive for a while because he just couldn't
stop like crashing cars at like three hundred miles per hour.
And then he was also I believe he so this
is now the all time goal scorer in the NHL.
This guy playing Russian Alexander Vetchkin broke when Gretzky a
Canadian doesn't really matter to say. He is actually a
huge Putin supporter, Like he is huge, Yeah, he's in
(20:56):
twenty seventeen, he like led a campaign on like face
spooke to get Putin quote unquote reelected, you.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Know, like it was.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
He needs he needs every vote, folks, he needs every
vote folks. Yep. Yeah, race, Yeah, a real close race,
that is whatever. We were about to have one of
those two probably and Steven Siegal is gonna be like
trumpets every vote, you little fucking bastard's ripal for him.
But anyway, records were meant to be broken, I guess yes,
yep they were. And yeah again, and I'm sure records
(21:26):
for profits were meant to be broken, right if you're
Disney charging everybody fucking everything for nothing. I think this
is why you also see a lot of families, like
I see a lot of videos of people crashing out
at Disneyland, like fights and shit, because it was the
same thing. I remember there was this article I was
reading about how there was a ton of fights like
ten years ago at Chuck e Cheeses between adults and
they were saying, it's like high stress of trying to
(21:47):
provide a memorable time for a child, plus the amount
that it costs, plus alcohol or whatever things, plus being
around other parents who are on a fucking tight rope
can lead to fucking all kinds of conflict. And you
see all kinds of deos or people just losing it
at each other at Disneyland or Disney World, like with
their kids in tow and you're like, oh, fuck like.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
This so it's so bad. Yeah, and I've seen it.
This is odd comparison, but I've seen it with skiing
as well, where skiing is like, I mean, the base
has always been expensive, but like now, like particularly in Colorado,
it's just so much money to get like a lift ticket,
and then obviously you got to rent all the equipment.
And so when there's long lines, people are just at
(22:29):
war with one another because if some you know, a
kid like can't get on the chair or whatever, they
have to like stop the chair. And time literally is
money there, because you know it's like, oh, with each
minute that passes of me standing in this line is
one less financial you know, investment I made in one
of these like skiing runs. So people when it's crowded,
(22:51):
it's not just oh I don't like waiting in lines.
People see the money that they spent on the day
ticking away in the line, and they're irritable when they
fight it.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, Brian the editor brings a good point. He's like, yeah,
but you see that everywhere. That is true because people
are getting squeezed and more and more as things become stressful.
While also it's the kid to mention that I really
understand now, like being a parent, We're like, bro, you
want that shit to be so special, and then sometimes
you might do a little bit something more than you
had to. All bad. And also they got rid of
(23:23):
their seating basically at Disneyland, so to keep people like
buying shit. They're like, we don't want people sitting down.
It's there's less places to sit and even fucking eat.
Producer Victor was just there and was just talking about
this too. I noticed that when I was there too.
It's all bad, y'all. But we're very good and that's
going to do it for us today. We will be
back tomorrow with a brand new episode. It's gonna be
(23:44):
a fucking banjer Banja or a bangor in America or
bangor if you're in Maine, exactly exactly until then, take
care of yourselves, take care of each other, be kind
to yourself, don't do nothing about white supremacy, take care
of your body, and take care of each other for real. Okay,
that's how we're gonna make it all right. We'll talk
to you then. Bye h
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this afternoon edition of
Frank Trentvin Police Squad. I'm Miles Gray and I'm joined
by today's guest co host, Plumper mcdo Hi.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
It's me Plumper McDow, Hello Internet, good to see you.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Your rather name I think I've ever fucking come up with,
but I love it because the bars low y'all the
bar is fucking low. Yeah. Blake Wexler, good to see you.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Bro, Bro, it's great to see you too.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
My buddies and I used to play a game where
it'd be like police, what's your name? And you had
to like say a name as quickly as possible.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Oh, helly, please, what's your name?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
And it was always like my my, now remember the.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Please what's your name? Police? What's your name?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Cormack von Strussel, terrible name, terrible name. My wife when
I first did it with her, like she goes Jenny Jenny,
Like your name's Jennifer Jenny.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Bro. That's like from Orange County, that scene where Jack
Black's character Lance is in the administrative building that's on
fire and Ben stillers the firefighter asking what his name
is and he's like He's like, what's your name man,
He's like Joe Joe John Joe Jo your name is
Joe John Johnson, Joe.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
And Joe Johnson the shooting guard God.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Well yeah from the nets, dude, mm hmm. He was
from everywhere one on one one thing called him Solo
Joe or something with that his nickname in the league
or something because he bro he'll bust your ass one
on one.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Yeah, he was.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
So he was underrated, like he was like almost like
a sharief up dur raheemer like everybody who played had
a lot of respect, but maybe fans didn't know.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah, unless you were a fan of the team Joe
Johnson played on, you were probably underrating him, exactly myself included. Anyway,
we're here to tell you what's trending, not about washed
basketball references. That's what mileson Jack got mad boostis is
for GE's that there. But the first thing that's trending
he might have guessed it based on the title. The
Naked Gun teaser came out last week. I don't know
(01:58):
how the fuck I missed this because because I love
those movies, like I just love that was I remember
as a kid the first genre I could articulate saying
was my favorite, and they were parody films. Basically, I
was like, I like parody movies, hot Shots, hot Shots
part do Okay, those weren't that great, to be honest,
(02:19):
compared to this shit. But the new Naked Gun teaser
came out, the one that stars Liam Neeson. It's a
what is it? Akiva Schaeffer from The Only Land is
directing it. First thoughts on that teaser mine positive, Mine.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Very positive, And I was very nervous because I hold
Naked Gun in high esteem. You know, I'm sure if
I went back and watched there was probably an incredible
amount of problematic things in it.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
But no, no, I watched it recently. The race stuff,
the homophobia, other stuff is fine.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
It's fine, yeah, yeah, okay, good to enough.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Surprisingly, though I watched it a few months ago, and
maybe I'm completely memory if it was, but I remember
being like, oh, it's it's not as bad, but hey, yesh,
the nineties, y'all.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
That y's where the bar is is as bad as
you would think it would a but Nisan I was
a little nervous about, and he can't it seems like
he might be funny. And then the jokes in the
trailer are very you know, naked gunny, and I mean
that in a very positive way. So I laughed. It
(03:28):
made me laugh twice. You know, I thought it was good.
What were your thoughts?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yeah, I love that. I love the OJ reference. I
just you know, I feel like it had that same
like as if it were the Zuckers behind it. It's
clear that the writers also respect the source material because
it had that same tone. So I don't know, we'll see,
we'll see. Next thing trending Firefest two. Billy McFarland says
(03:54):
it's happening. We talked about this maybe last month about
how he was like, it's coming end of May, early June.
Buckle the fuck up. It's gonna be at Islam Muhtas
in Mexico. Are you ready? Then the Tourism board of
Isla Muhetes said, quote, we have no knowledge of this event,
nor contact with any person or company about it. For us,
(04:18):
this is an event that does not exist. Pretty clear.
So we were like, hey, Billy, you fucking scammer allegedly,
what do you what do you make of this? He's
now switched it up and said the festival is actually
gonna be Impliadil Carmen. Guess what the officials of Pliodel
Carmen have just announced on their website. Quote, in light
of rumors about an event called fire to we inform
(04:40):
you that no event with that name will be held
in Pliodel Carmen after a responsible review. There is no
registration or planning in the municipality. Uh, Billy, Billy, Actually, yeah,
this Tullem. It's gonna be in Tullem, this event tullamore Do. Yeah,
it's going to be sponsored by tullamore Do. And we're
purposely mispronouncing to Loom, which I hear is also being
(05:03):
overran by like digital American nomads, because that's the new
thing out there. But he did say they're like, what
about artists. He's like, oh, it's me artists. You see
the website timeline. We're about to be sending out artist
invitation letters. Bro. The fucking thing is at the end
of next month. You're now setting out artist invitation letters,
(05:24):
Which sounds like the most pathetic way of getting rejected
is you're like, I sent the artist invitation letters.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
You mean you vped Yeah, knowing RSVP to perform.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
You know. The only there's only one public facing figure
that has said publicly that they will be attending fire
to you know who. That is Antonio Brown.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
And that guy has his shit together, so you can
lean on that guy.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I was like, wow, that is
the worst look of all. All you have is Antonio
Brown being like, yeah, I'll be there. Oh okay, Well,
I guess that's fine to have former NFL player Antonio
Brown is your one guest. But hey, Billy, do your thing.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It might be a new form of tourism where there's
like adventure tourism and you know, gastro tourism. I think
this might be scam tourism where it's like, you know
you're going to be scammed basically, you know, that's really
the only way this can happen. So yeah, if it
does happen at all, it would be the biggest bummer
(06:29):
if there is nothing and people just sink their money
into and get not even a bad sandwich.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I think what you do is plan your vacation to
be to coincide with Firefest. That way you don't have
to have the risk of just giving your money away
to a convicted fucking scammer. Is you you can basically
be like, hey, while we're there, you know what we
could do. We could go walk by where the firefest
(06:55):
is supposed to be and take some pictures and if
it's popping, which it won't be, we can get some
pretty good videos for our Instagram stories.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
So yeah, take dinner reservations that you can cancel on
the one percent chance that this festival happens while you're there.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I can't wait till you know, inevitably it's going to
hit something where he's either gonna go whole hog and
be like insists it's happening and we're going to get
to see some nightmare scenario play out, or i'd imagine
because it's not like last time where he like wowed
people with that Instagram launch video, you're not gonna have
a lot of takers and like du to low demand
or unforeseen things that we're gonna have to cancel this. Yeah,
(07:33):
because no, everyone's onto you, because I don't even think
people ironically want to get scammed, and I would rather
do the thing we're talking about. I'll go near it
and be like look at that shit. Okay bye, then
be like Billy, I gave you five thousand dollars? What
the fuck?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
How did this happen?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
That's called playing yourself? Okay, like Aiden Ross did, which
you'll hear about in tomorrow's episode.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
You get to hear him read It's great.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Quick question, do you know what the secret is to
Jessica Simpson's voice?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Tell me if you if you know, well, this is
switch switches.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I mean no. According to a TMZ thing that came
out and she confirmed today she likes to drink a
Chinese herb cocktail that has snake sperm in it. So
I didn't know that was a thing. Uh And as
a podcaster, hook it up? You know what I mean,
because she says she credits that that helps her vocal cords.
Is this tonic with the snake sperm? So yeah, if
(08:32):
you all got some snake sperm, come up off it.
I'm trying to keep this show going.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
This might be a thing where like you don't know
how many spiders you eat in a lifetime, Like.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Who knows how snakes on some off?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I like that for you, it's actively filating a fucking
serpent rather than who knows what kind of fucking snake
sperm got in this wacky dish. I ate cookies, You're like,
scratch your head. Damn did I suck off of King Kole?
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I acted up? I was acting out last night.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I don't even knowing, Gobra, how many spiders?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You wait? So stupid, dud uh. Anyway, It's just it
was fun to say snake sperm and be kids and
be like and they drink it for their voice. But
if that ship, if that ship's banging, let me know. Yeah,
and Nick Lache, maybe you should too, man, because dude,
(09:35):
you you's do you look so washed on? Love is blind? Man?
I can't. I can't keep saying the snick, but like,
holy shit, without Vanessa, you are fucking nothing.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
It's like a Madam Tussoude situation with him Murde, this
like very sad, like wax Man. He is boosted by
his wife, like.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Musk, like Elon must playing a video game. You boosted, sir? Yes, bro,
you should really shouldn't even be here. Just let me, like,
let Vanessa do the fuck, please let her do her thing. Man,
It's yeah, he's only looks confused and always does. Somebody's like,
I don't know, man, am I old? Yeah, I don't know.
It's not that you're old, bro, He's just not interesting
and you clearly I think you are in nineteen ninety
(10:19):
eight degrees bro, And that's fine, but you were always
defined by the women that you were next to. All right,
let's take a quick break. We'll come back because damn
I have more movies to talk about.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
After this, and we're back.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
We talked about the Minecraft movie on yesterday's episode because
people the kids were turning up so crazy during the
Minecraft film, like they were throwing their drinks and popcorns
and shit. Now movie theaters are posting warnings against Minecraft behavior.
They're saying, screaming and taking part in TikTok trends will
not be tolerated. Guess what, motherfuckers, you think that's gonna
(11:03):
stop these fucking kids, think the fuck again. They are
going to go. I look, I was a shitthead teenager before. Yeah,
if I saw a sign like that, I would be like, oh,
this is a challenge to get me thrown out of here.
So look, uh, this is this is their Barbie movie
(11:24):
or some shit, you know what I mean. And the
kids are gonna kid, although don't throw the shit around
and make it harder for the people cleaning up the
fucking theater. That's already a fucking thankless job.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
So that's the way part.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Yeah, that's like the one because i'm how are you
what's your movie theater etiquette with your post post movie
theater watching cleanup? Are you one of these fucking pieces
of shit that just leaves the shit in there?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
You st And I don't do that at stadiums either,
because stadiums, I think people are more apt to do
it because it's outside. And it's like, I don't blow
away or something, you know, but no, I pick up,
I take away what I bring, or I take away
what I leave something intelligent, but no, I clean up.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I also feel bad.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I mean, I'll drop a few popcorn pieces and I'll
miss them, you know, so like right, maybe I'll leave
some popcorn traces, but right.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, yeah, I think, yeah, that is true. People do that,
now that you think about it. The stadium sometimes I
do leave ship out. I got. Yeah, it's weird how
different that is, I think because half the time I'm
leaving before a fucking game ends. Too. You're in a
ruck man, trust fucking traffic out of this. No, we're gone,
We're gone.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
And if you're not driving. You might have had a
few drinks, so like you could miss a few things,
you know, m yeah, yeah, man an airplane, I leave everything,
I like, Oh, I am every animal. Yeah, just I
hold pop pie, I leave underneath the seat.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I leave the.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Pop pie on the seat and I sit on it
and just mush it in there, and then I get
up pop pile all over my ass and on the seat.
I don't care. I'm a fucking wreck. All right, let's
take a did we take a break? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
we're back actually from that break. Sorry. There's also rumors,
(13:10):
not rumors, like there's a new I Am Legend two
coming out with Michael B. Jordan and Will Smith. I'm like, wait,
what did you? Did you know? So the whole thing
is it's based on the alternate ending that was only
on the DVD where he doesn't blow himself up in
that lap. I had no idea.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
They're going to bring the dog back. I know, That's
all I care about.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Stopped. My boycotted listening to Bob Marley after that because
he was saying, don't you that that point that is
kind of hard on you. It's kind of like it's
cannon on this show. Because I always talk about my
friend who I had, like the screener when it came out,
because my mom was getting screeners at the time, and we're, no, bro,
we got I am legend, come through whatever, we get. Hi,
(13:52):
I watch it. When that scene happened, he left, He
got up and left. He was like, Bro, I can't
watch this, Bro, I don't want to see no dog
get choked out. He's even if it did turn into
a zombie, He's like, I'm not for that, and he
like left, went home and drove home, and we're like, what,
oh shit, I didn't sorry, didn't know. Didn't know.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
You can't can't joke about or show violence to dogs.
You just can't get away with it.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
It's it's weird. It's look, we've got weird stuff going
on in this country where we're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, humans, whateverever. Dog?
Are you fucking trying to give me like nightmares for life?
But yeah, this film ends where he doesn't die. And
now there's like another colony, I guess in Vermont or
some shit, and they get the it's on YouTube. I
(14:37):
didn't bother watching it. I also didn't have, like I said,
I had the screener version, so I saw whatever's in
the theater and didn't think about it again. For them
to be like, oh yeah, this sequels about a version
of the movie that doesn't exist in theaters that you
didn't see. I think it's fucking weird. And also like,
I don't were we necessarily clam clamoring for another I
Am Legend too, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah, I don't think so either. I think that old
men have related to I Am Legend in a way
where they just wanted to picture a world where no
one else was around and it was just them and
their dog and they can just play golf, you know,
in like downtown Manhattan or wherever the thing was set place.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I do think that it is, like I don't know,
I would watch it.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I think I would watch I think it was the
right age when it came out that like I was
just in full movie mode and it didn't matter if
the movie was good or bad. It was just like
I'm gonna go to the movies and not even have
picked out what movie I wanted to go to, you
know when I got there.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I mean it's just weird. I just haven't thought about it.
And then when I read the thing and it's like
it's actually based on the alternate ending, I was like, what,
this is too much? But whatever, I guess I'll see.
What I really wanted is a prequel made with that
mannequin his friend Fred, who He's like, I want to
know what the fuck Fred is up to? What is doing?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
How did Fred get there?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Look a lot a lot of fan theories about that.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
It's Michael B. Jordan and Fred.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Dude, don't spoiler to make me spoilers anyway. Also Disneylandney
it was a good story from producer Victor in SFGate.
There was like sort of like Disneyland drops America's latest
recession indicator. Have you heard of Club thirty three at Disneyland.
It's like that very yeah, it's like very like you
better know somebody to get in here, and it's not easy,
(16:30):
and if you do, there is like a seven hundred
year waiting list to get on. Apparently some keen eyed
Disney fans noticed on their app that there was like
a new a section added about Club thirty three and
how you can maybe find out how to get in.
Before this was not some shit that you could do,
And people are like Ooh, if you're hitting the red
(16:53):
button and opening up Club thirty three to like the
general public, maybe things aren't going so well because I
mean there's been a lot of reports about how like
the parks are not as profitable as they were, maybe
because the prices are so prohibitive you can't even It's
like catering to an America that doesn't even exist. There
was a version it's like crazy because people went to
(17:15):
Disneyland because it was somewhat affordable, and people grew up
with their families being able to go enough times that they,
you know, created that culture within a family to be
like we go to disney World or Disneyland. Now this
shit is like I went fucking what was it November
of twenty twenty three. Man, the amount of fucking money
I spent. I've spent money to get on a fucking
(17:37):
ride because my baby was so tired. I was like, Bro,
this is fucking bullshit. None of this makes sense. Everything's
so expensive, everything's done through an app. It doesn't work.
So part of me is like, yeah, okay, this makes
sense because you guys are fucking around, they're opening it up.
You know what the costs the registration costs they rumored
to be between thirty thousand and one hundred thousand, and
(17:58):
then you have like annual dues, so like a country club, yes, exactly,
the country club for I guess racists, because what Disney
was such a racist But then that's a regular country club.
But then there's mystical shit. But then you're in you're
in the little little New Orleans pass. So yeah, producer
(18:19):
Victor in the chat fast Pass used to be free. Yep,
I saw the defunct land video. Now it's an add on.
And if you want to do the new Star Wars ride, yeah,
you've paid extra thirty exactly. I paid fucking forty dollars
or some shit thirty bucks to get on that Star
Wars Rise of the Resistance ride. And I'm not mad
because the ride was good, But I am mad because
why the fuck did I pay for a ticket? If
I'm paying for ala carte rides, it's fucking predatory. Fuck
(18:43):
that fuck Club thirty three. If we get in there,
we should be fucking crashing out in there and making
it so nobody can go in there.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I agree you had such a great point of what
like what America is this for? You know where it's
priced out most people. Yeah, with how expensive it is,
and then if you can afford it, you're the type
of person who probably wants the privileges of You don't
want to be waiting in lines, you know, like you're
you're not a You're not a funnel cake guy. Just
(19:10):
imagine if it's it's nuts. It's like going go for
the sourdough bread bulls. Yeah, yes, and I make it
last throughout the day. Yeah, it's really and then I
sit in it Jesus way back. But yeah, no, it's
it's rough. I remember I used to work at ABC
like a while ago, and I would get free.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I could go for free to.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Disney and even getting down there was such enough of
a pain in the ass. I only did it once,
you know, and I watched the Flyers in a bar.
It was was pretty complete waste of you.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Went to Disneyland to watch a Flyers game.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
My girlfriend at the time and her friend went on
the rides and I met up with them later.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
You like, I don't like this Disney crap. And then
you're shedding a tear at the bar watching the Flyers.
Fucking it's I'm a bigger loser. John Leclair's final game,
they're replaying it.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Yeah you know the names, you know the names?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Hell, yeah, bro did no Vegkin score his like record
breaking goal against the Flyers Island different? I think maybe
it was it was the Island, Oh, yes, it was,
it was.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
It was it was I think Putin's buddy buddy Andrevegkin.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Yeah, yeah, it's so funny. I remember that guy first
got into the NHL, Like all the stories about like
how he brought his mom on all the road trips
and shit, like it was his mom in a PlayStation
is what he traveled with.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Now he has FSB handlers that they like didn't.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Let him drive for a while because he just couldn't
stop like crashing cars at like three hundred miles per hour.
And then he was also I believe he so this
is now the all time goal scorer in the NHL.
This guy playing Russian Alexander Vetchkin broke when Gretzky a
Canadian doesn't really matter to say. He is actually a
huge Putin supporter, Like he is huge, Yeah, he's in
(20:56):
twenty seventeen, he like led a campaign on like face
spooke to get Putin quote unquote reelected, you.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Know, like it was.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
He needs he needs every vote, folks, he needs every
vote folks. Yep. Yeah, race, Yeah, a real close race,
that is whatever. We were about to have one of
those two probably and Steven Siegal is gonna be like
trumpets every vote, you little fucking bastard's ripal for him.
But anyway, records were meant to be broken, I guess yes,
yep they were. And yeah again, and I'm sure records
(21:26):
for profits were meant to be broken, right if you're
Disney charging everybody fucking everything for nothing. I think this
is why you also see a lot of families, like
I see a lot of videos of people crashing out
at Disneyland, like fights and shit, because it was the
same thing. I remember there was this article I was
reading about how there was a ton of fights like
ten years ago at Chuck e Cheeses between adults and
they were saying, it's like high stress of trying to
(21:47):
provide a memorable time for a child, plus the amount
that it costs, plus alcohol or whatever things, plus being
around other parents who are on a fucking tight rope
can lead to fucking all kinds of conflict. And you
see all kinds of deos or people just losing it
at each other at Disneyland or Disney World, like with
their kids in tow and you're like, oh, fuck like.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
This so it's so bad. Yeah, and I've seen it.
This is odd comparison, but I've seen it with skiing
as well, where skiing is like, I mean, the base
has always been expensive, but like now, like particularly in Colorado,
it's just so much money to get like a lift ticket,
and then obviously you got to rent all the equipment.
And so when there's long lines, people are just at
(22:29):
war with one another because if some you know, a
kid like can't get on the chair or whatever, they
have to like stop the chair. And time literally is
money there, because you know it's like, oh, with each
minute that passes of me standing in this line is
one less financial you know, investment I made in one
of these like skiing runs. So people when it's crowded,
(22:51):
it's not just oh I don't like waiting in lines.
People see the money that they spent on the day
ticking away in the line, and they're irritable when they
fight it.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, Brian the editor brings a good point. He's like, yeah,
but you see that everywhere. That is true because people
are getting squeezed and more and more as things become stressful.
While also it's the kid to mention that I really
understand now, like being a parent, We're like, bro, you
want that shit to be so special, and then sometimes
you might do a little bit something more than you
had to. All bad. And also they got rid of
(23:23):
their seating basically at Disneyland, so to keep people like
buying shit. They're like, we don't want people sitting down.
It's there's less places to sit and even fucking eat.
Producer Victor was just there and was just talking about
this too. I noticed that when I was there too.
It's all bad, y'all. But we're very good and that's
going to do it for us today. We will be
back tomorrow with a brand new episode. It's gonna be
(23:44):
a fucking banjer Banja or a bangor in America or
