Mark went to the premiere of Actor/Director Harley Wallen's new vampire movie “Beneath Us All” last week and here is where he first met Harley, his lovely wife and collaborator Kaiti and actress Vida Ghaffari 4 years ago discussing his film Eternal Code Mark and Hannah return and try to crack the Eternal Code with writer/director/actor Harley Wallen and actresses Kaiti Wallen and Vida Ghaffari Harley talked about his Swedish upbringing which made him an undefeated MMA fighter and 5 time black belt in Judo. He also broke into show business as a break-dancer (though he admits that he can't do MC Hammer moves) which put him on Swedish TV. Since then he has become a versatile and prolific writer/director working with such notable actors as Tom Sizemore (wait until you hear how he cast him) Tara Reed, John Savage, Corbin Bernson as well as Richard Tyson, Scout Taylor-Compton and Billy Wirth who star in his new action/sci-fi thriller Eternal Code which is inspired by brain transplants which are currently being experimented on. Kaiti is Harley's wife and partner and plays a good hearted working girl in Eternal Code. She started modelling in her native Michigan and tells the story about how she met Harley in a nightclub and felt his energy. They co starred in the movie Betrayed where he kidnaps her, which led to Mark speculating about their affinity for role playing. She is in charge of casting their movies and talks about the process and how they cast their daughter to say a memorable line to Tara Reed during their movie Bennett's Song. Vida gets to follow in her famous father's footsteps and play a scientist in Eternal Code, though this role is a bit of a departure from the good girl roles she normally gets cast in. She gets to kiss Richard Tyson, who she knew from movies when she was a teen. She talked about being typecast and only going up for roles in burkas for the longest time, but that time is no more as she is super busy. Just this year she has starred in Meathook Massacre The Final Chapter, Robowoman, and LA Shark Attack. She also had many admirers at the Q&A at the premiere of the movie which of course got noticed and commented on by Mark.

Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are discussing the 1999 cult classic "America Pie." Woof, watching this movie was super cringey. It is rated R for a reason, there is a lot of sexual content and while we use pretty professional language to discuss it, make sure to listen away from little one's ears. We reminisce on the actors, clothing and music, while the movie draws some laughs there are also some serious topics discussed such as consent, rights to privacy and dare we say "female empowerment," (I know, just listen to the episode for the context). We hope you enjoy! Instagram Tik Tok Webiste [00:10] Dr. Katrina Furey: Hi, I'm Dr. Katrina Fury, a psychiatrist. [00:12] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I'm Portia Pendleton, a licensed clinical social worker. [00:16] Dr. Katrina Furey: And this is Analyze Scripts, a podcast where two shrinks analyze the depiction of mental health in movies and TV shows. [00:23] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Our hope is that you learn some legit info about mental health while feeling like you're chatting with your girlfriends. [00:28] Dr. Katrina Furey: There is so much misinformation out there, and it drives us nuts. [00:31] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And if someday we pay off our student loans or land a sponsorship, like. [00:36] Dr. Katrina Furey: With a lay flat airline or a major beauty brand, even better. [00:39] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So sit back, relax, grab some popcorn. [00:42] Dr. Katrina Furey: And your DSM Five and enjoy. [00:57] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Welcome back to another episode of Analyze Scripts. We are so excited to talk about little little interesting movie, some some deeply problematic themes. But American pie. [01:09] Dr. Katrina Furey: American Pie. Do you guys remember that movie? When did that even come? [01:13] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: 99. [01:14] Dr. Katrina Furey: I was definitely in, like was I in middle school? High school. [01:18] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So I was in late elementary school. And I have a little story for you. [01:25] Dr. Katrina Furey: Okay. [01:25] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So if you are listening to this later or listening to it right when it comes out, the idea is that it's summer. We're releasing this in July. This is also a part of our Jennifer Jennifer Coolidge. So if you like Jennifer Coolidge, be sure to catch more episodes that should be near to the release of this one. But so american Pirates, released in 1999. I was definitely in elementary school, but older, and I was not allowed to see the movie. I was going to say, obviously rated R for sure. Lots of sexual content. So I went to a friend's house after school, and they had a nanny and who was like, an older woman. It wasn't, like, a teen. And she was going to take us, three of us, to American Pie in theaters. And I remember calling my mom, like, I didn't know what it was. And I called her, and I was like, yeah, we're going to go to the movies. We're going to see American Pie. My mom was like, what? No, you're not. No, you're not. And I was so mad because she came and picked me up. And everyone else got to see it. [02:28] Dr. Katrina Furey: They're watching it. [02:29] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I don't know. I don't think so. [02:32] Dr. Katrina Furey: Okay, we'll give them the benefit, maybe. [02:34] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I don't know. [02:35] Dr. Katrina Furey: Okay. [02:36] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I remember being so mad, like, furious that I didn't get to see American Pie and now watching it back as an adult. So I haven't seen this movie fully in years. [02:46] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, maybe decades, honestly. Right. This movie is can you imagine if you saw it as like, a fourth. [02:52] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Grader or fifth grader for the most part? I think 90% of it would have gone over my head. But some of the scenes where Jason Biggs, aka jim, is humping the apple pie and you see his buttocks. And then the other scene where you do with Nadia full *******. [03:14] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. [03:15] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And and you know hands going under clothes. [03:18] Dr. Katrina Furey: Like, it's you know that masturbation scenes. [03:21] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. [03:22] Dr. Katrina Furey: You know, that you'd see. [03:23] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. And I'm just curious, like, at what age do you even know what that is? Because, like, little kids, you're exploring your body, stuff like that. But if I was, like, four watching the movie oh, my God. [03:35] Dr. Katrina Furey: Hopefully PSA. Don't let a four year old watch this. [03:39] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But it's like, when is the line where it's, like, you start to get actually what's going on and how inappropriate it is? [03:45] Dr. Katrina Furey: Probably, like, middle school, like 7th grade, 8th grade. But, like, in in these in this day and age with, like, technology and stuff, I feel like kids are exposed to sexual content so much earlier. It's, like, the thing that keeps me up at night. I think there was a study that came out, or maybe not a study, but, like, an article that said a lot of children these days are exposed to ****, I think as early as, like, fourth grade. [04:11] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Oh, yeah. [04:12] Dr. Katrina Furey: Which is really scary. And I might not be quoting that accurately, but it was, like, four years earlier than I would have naturally anticipated. And that's so scary. Like, you're saying, how do you wrap your head around that and make sense of is that quote unquote, like, normal sexual interactions or ways of showing intimacy when so much of it, even in this movie, crosses the line, and oftentimes at the expense of women. [04:41] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Oh, yeah. I mean, just thinking of the one thing, which I will you know, we'll start with the positive okay. That I was like, wow, watching the movie is that every teen, even though they're playing their 20s, filming looks like a teen. They have textured skin, there's bumps. You can tell there's makeup over some acne. They're shiny faces. Their teeth have they're not chiclet, perfect veneers. They're real teeth that are not I think they're probably, like, whitened, but they're very normal, appropriate teeth. Bodies still feel like 90 big ***** guinea waist. But still, even with that being said, I feel like a little bit more normal than what you might see today. [05:28] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, for sure. [05:30] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That was like a breath of fresh air and then just reminded me of all the content that we see now. Even, again, like, an appropriate show for kids that's not animated. It's like, the people are so airbrushed and have veneers oftentimes, and it's just so unrealistic. And that's what's everywhere. Even if it's a good kid show that is positive, that is message. Right. [05:54] Dr. Katrina Furey: I remember Miley Cyrus, I think, has talked about her time on Hannah Montana, and I think she I forget, like, the word they use, but I think it's called, like, flippers or flappers. Like the type of fake teeth that they make these kids wear. And again, just how curated and perfected these people are on TV. And also, it just creeps me out to think about what old white man executive is deciding what these young children should look like or what these early 20s actors portraying teenagers should look like. I can't think about it too deeply. [06:36] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. And I mean, really recently, all the stuff that has come out about Dan Shriiber from Nickelodeon and all of his. [06:42] Dr. Katrina Furey: I haven't heard about that. [06:44] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That people cannot speak on. And then also just thinking of so the new show The Idol on HBO just came out and a lot of people are like, criticizing Sam Levinson's. [06:53] Dr. Katrina Furey: He did euphoria right. [06:55] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. Which we're going to cover Gross with women and then Stan Schineider with women. With kids. Anyway. [07:02] Dr. Katrina Furey: But yeah. [07:03] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So the movie American Pie kind of opens with a scene about masturbation. So the parents kind of walk in on Jim masturbating. And then that leads to some pretty awkward and comedic it's a comedy conversations about masturbation and sex and sex between. [07:23] Dr. Katrina Furey: Covad Jim and his dad, played by Eugene Levy, who I love. And I love his eyebrows. But oh, my gosh, all of those scenes with him giving him the nudie magazines and being like, okay, extend this center fold. And this is a ******. And just like really going to town. You could feel the cringe. It was perfect. [07:47] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. [07:47] Dr. Katrina Furey: Really good. It's so funny. And I'm sure every parent and child feels cringey when you're having those discussions. At least they were having them, though, right? Like so many people go through life having no discussions. And that's got to be confusing. [08:03] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. Or you're getting only your information online. [08:06] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. Like from **** or from some other source that isn't reliable, I guess, is the word. [08:13] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, like real. That's true. So basically, Jim and his friends so Jim, Oz, and the other, the third male, decide to all lose their virginities prior to going to prom. Right? [08:30] Dr. Katrina Furey: Well, I think they wanted to lose it before going to college. And then maybe they all decided, like, promise something like that. [08:37] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: One of the lines during the scene was so gross, I have to pull it up. So get it right. It was let me see. We're going to fight for every man who deserves to get laid and doesn't. [08:52] Dr. Katrina Furey: Oh, wow, what a cause to take up arms. [08:55] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So basically, men deserve to be laid whenever they would like to be, despite consent of the other person, however horrible. Icky line. Then one of them says it needs to be valid, consensual sex. Good. So it cannot be from an escort or prostitute, and it cannot obviously be. [09:17] Dr. Katrina Furey: An assault non consensual. [09:19] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But I liked that even in 1999, they did say that very specifically. [09:25] Dr. Katrina Furey: I think that's pretty big. [09:26] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: There was some manipulation we see throughout the show of trying to get laid or have sex. So anyway, one of the many and. [09:36] Dr. Katrina Furey: I feel like gross. Yeah. I feel like teenage boys trying to get laid by prom seems like a pretty stereotypical storyline, right? This isn't the first movie to have this goodness, groundbreaking plot, but for some reason, this one really was successful and jumped out. And it was, even all these years later, still pretty funny. It was a pretty entertaining movie to watch, even decades later. So I wonder what contributed to the success. [10:07] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I looked up a lot of the cast just to get their names, and many of them have not done really anything else that I think that they would like. Stiffler hasn't jason really biggs. Really only did his cameo kind of in Orange is the New Black. He hasn't really done much that's they. [10:26] Dr. Katrina Furey: Have a lot of sequels, too. [10:27] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Oh, yes. And that's what is giving them the paycheck still. And then, obviously, Eugene Levy has been in so many things. Schitt's Creek. Love it. And then his newer show, which is. [10:39] Dr. Katrina Furey: I watch oh, yeah, the traveling one, right? [10:41] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: He's like the anxious traveler. [10:43] Dr. Katrina Furey: Is he really nervous? [10:44] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Oh, yeah. It's such a good show. You could watch it with your family. It's beautiful places that he's exploring. So, anyway and then some of the other people. [10:55] Dr. Katrina Furey: But Jennifer coolidge, man. [10:56] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It was a lot. [10:57] Dr. Katrina Furey: I mean, I feel like there was a gap. And she's had a real renaissance. [11:01] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Natasha Leone was in it. [11:03] Dr. Katrina Furey: I forgot that she was in it. Like, Tara Reid obviously was in it, but so a lot of them haven't really been in big blockbusters since then. I mean, Tara Reid was in Sharknado, like, one through 100, probably. Yeah, it seems like they've all had careers, but maybe nothing has really escalated except maybe Jennifer Coolidge. She's really having a heyday right now. [11:25] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: John Cho isn't a lot. [11:27] Dr. Katrina Furey: He plays John in the movie. [11:28] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: He is in Harold and Kumar. A lot of them were just also, like, actors of the time. Teen stoner or sex movies. But anyway. So did you have any moments in the movie where you were just like, I literally want to cringe and throw up? Besides the whole movie that was really disgusting. [11:55] Dr. Katrina Furey: The one where the girl was being filmed without her knowledge. [11:58] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: That's disgusting in a different sense. [12:00] Dr. Katrina Furey: Okay, what are you thinking? [12:02] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: The one scene that I just had to look away was when. [12:08] Dr. Katrina Furey: The other. [12:09] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Guy that I can't think of, his name is with his girlfriend. [12:12] Dr. Katrina Furey: Do I look up the name on. [12:13] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: The bed and she is giving him oral sex, and he ********** into the beer cup. [12:20] Dr. Katrina Furey: And then Stifler drinkler comes up with. [12:22] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: The girl to try to have sex. And then she keeps almost drinking it. [12:28] Dr. Katrina Furey: And then he finally does and he knows frothy. [12:34] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I can feel my stomach just churn. [12:37] Dr. Katrina Furey: That was disgusting. [12:38] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Repulsive. [12:39] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, shocking. [12:40] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I mean, again, like, picture an eight year old watching this, which is why. [12:43] Dr. Katrina Furey: Oh, my God, please shouldn't yeah, exactly. Even like a mid 30s year old, it's, like, really gross. And you kept being like, no, don't drink it. Yeah, that was disgusting and cringe. Like, in a legit. Disgusting. Like, gross. Like potty humor. But then there were definitely parts of this movie that just I don't think would fly today. Like that scene with Nadia. Well, first of all, so she's coming over to Jim's house to study. [13:15] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right? [13:15] Dr. Katrina Furey: Like, she wants to study. This is, like, the exchange student. [13:18] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. I think she says interior motive. [13:21] Dr. Katrina Furey: Oh, she does? [13:21] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Oh, I thought she really wanted Jim. [13:27] Dr. Katrina Furey: That's where I got really confused. I was like, Why did oh, no. Because she had ballet and then wanted to change undressed. Right. I was really confused. [13:36] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And then they studied, which I think Jim would have loved, too. He was at their house. Maybe he sits near her. He seems really nervous and shy. [13:45] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. And then she masturbates, and then somehow it's broadcasted on a webcam. [13:52] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. So Jim had the idea, which, again, this is illegal, in case anyone didn't know, to film him and Nadia potentially honestly doing anything. [14:01] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. I think he was hoping maybe they'd make out or maybe hoping it'd go all the way. But, yeah, fully illegal. Jim and the rest of humanity don't do that. And even if it weren't illegal, it's so icky and, like, gross. Right. [14:13] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I mean, it's not consensual. [14:14] Dr. Katrina Furey: Non consensual. That is the definition. Right. [14:18] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So, accidentally, right. The total dream is sent to everyone in the school. So what I think is how it gets comedic relief is that because then Jim goes back. They're like, oh, man, she's in your bedroom literally naked. Like, come on. And he goes back, and then she makes him, which is, like, the differential power then which makes it then funny, like strip. And he knows that he's being recorded. So you see him trying to throw the shirt and cover it because God. [14:47] Dr. Katrina Furey: Forbid ye be exposed in that way. Right. Yeah. With knowledge, at least. Right. [14:53] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So, yeah. Gross. Consent is very important. I think that should be really the biggest part of parents Caregivers, whomever talking about and schools, maybe in sexual education talking about sex. [15:07] Dr. Katrina Furey: I think it starts even hello earlier than that. I feel like all the way to daycare preschool. Exactly. Personal space. Even with, like, tickling. When someone says stop. Stop means stop. When someone says no, no means that. Like, you can start teaching that to really young kids super early and just laying the groundwork. And I feel like at least what I see of society these days is sort of hedging that way compared to maybe back in the 90s. But definitely that's a good groundwork to lay. And then when you talk about sexual consent, super important. And yeah, so this movie had, like, mixed messages. Like, sometimes they were on point, maybe even ahead of their time with thinking about consent, and other times, they really missed the mark. And we're kind of trying to make a joke of it. And again, it's like, well, this was a really successful movie. I guess people thought it was funny. But now when you watch it, or at least me, I'm just like, well. [16:04] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I think if we think back to 1999, you know what I think of in 1999? [16:10] Dr. Katrina Furey: Backstreet Boys Millennium album. That's what I think of. [16:12] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: You love them? [16:13] Dr. Katrina Furey: I love them. [16:14] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I was more of an in sync gal. [16:16] Dr. Katrina Furey: That's okay. We're showing you we can reach across the aisle. [16:20] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So in 1989, I think recording on phones, personal cameras, right. Was very nuanced. [16:28] Dr. Katrina Furey: And again, you see that Jim's probably pretty privileged to have a webcam. This wasn't, like, a normal thing. Right. [16:37] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So I think if even thinking back to the earlier 2000s with flip phones and just, like, recalling our own experience with when did you get a phone? When did your phone have a camera? And then thinking back to middle school, high school or college, wherever you kind of land with nude pictures going around. And again, I think that it was really nuanced and people didn't know or have expectations of what could happen. And I think one of the biggest differences is now we do know, and there's so many laws now that have been put into act to really deal with the technology. [17:09] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. And again, what really bugged me about this part of the movie is not just that it happened, but then that she was punished. Like, she was sent back off to wherever she came from as an exchange student. And it seemed like Jim could just go school. Right. [17:25] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Made fun of him, but not really. [17:27] Dr. Katrina Furey: They also were like, yeah, man, you're the best. But he didn't get expelled. He didn't get suspended. He didn't get charged with a crime, which, like, he certainly could nowadays. So that was disappointing. But again, maybe on par with 1999. I think so, probably. Unfortunately, I still think people can get away with things. [17:49] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Oh, yeah. No, I agree. I just think it was like, ha ha. More of the Boys Club, certainly, then it was. [17:59] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. Even the fact that this was, like, in the movie and the movie was wildly successful, I don't remember there being a lot of outrage about this part. [18:07] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And the new I think they thought that they were doing well at this, and maybe they were at the time, but so if we think about Band Camp Girly so it's the dynamic between Jim, right, initially trying to have power over Nadia. Right. So, like, having the male role, I'm going to get her to have sex with me. It's like then Band Camp Girl at the end is right. Like, she's had sex many times. [18:33] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. [18:33] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: She is teaching him, but he kind. [18:35] Dr. Katrina Furey: Of, like, gravitated toward her because he thought maybe that she'd be she's, like, so demure. She plays the flute in the band. Like, she might be what you might have called back then, an easy lay or something, and that she would be. [18:50] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So lucky to have sex with him. [18:52] Dr. Katrina Furey: Right. [18:52] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Versus then it being kind of the other way around. I think they started to and I don't know if this was intentional or. [18:59] Dr. Katrina Furey: Not, but they started exploring that dynamic. [19:03] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Conversation of we're going to make fun of really gross things, but then we can make it funny because we're like switching female. She's actually the one who has all. [19:13] Dr. Katrina Furey: More experience and she's the one who leaves the next day. All of a sudden he's really into. [19:19] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, and that's not a typical reaction. Right. [19:23] Dr. Katrina Furey: But then you see it sort of like sparks his interest. And I think we know they go on to get married in, like, a future movie. What do you think about Stifler's mom? [19:34] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So she is definitely portrayed as, I'm assuming, this cougar who allows wild drinking parties, which again, you're not allowed to do, can be. [19:48] Dr. Katrina Furey: But I think there are still parents who do that. But yeah, again, I don't know because I wasn't really hip on the laws back in the 90s, but I know there are at least some laws in some states nowadays where parents can get in serious trouble for having parties where kids are drinking underage. [20:05] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right. And instead of like I think they can trace it back now better. Like before, if my parents allowed me to have a wild party and then someone on their way home died, right? Like from a drinking and driving accident. It's like before, I think in the so on and so forth, it was like they made that mistake, that person. But now it's like they will go back to who bought the booze? What adult did this and press charges? So, anyway, so Stifler's mom is definitely a cougar. She is a divorcee, having some it seems like money. She's got a lot of lake house. [20:43] Dr. Katrina Furey: She was like at the party, though, I forgot that part, that she was. [20:47] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like there. [20:49] Dr. Katrina Furey: In the basement drinking her scotch. [20:52] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, that is as she said it, she likes her scotch just like she likes her partner's, men, whatever, 18 years aged. [21:01] Dr. Katrina Furey: You're, like, feels really gross. [21:06] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But again, she's a woman. Right. And intentionally, I think even then, if. [21:12] Dr. Katrina Furey: It had been a day, a man. [21:13] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Coming onto a girl, that would have been like, gross. [21:16] Dr. Katrina Furey: It wouldn't have been funny at all. [21:18] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But this is, like, funny because Stiller's mom is a milk, as they talk about and learn the lingo, what's a milk? So I thought that was funny and I was like, did we learn what a milk was from this movie? [21:31] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, because we all know what a milk is. Maybe explain it. I wonder if that was even a. [21:38] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Term before that's what I mean. [21:39] Dr. Katrina Furey: Someone looked that up on Urban Dictionary and send us a DM. That's interesting. [21:53] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So anyway, it seems like she goes on to have sexual intercourse with another male character whose name I cannot recall. [22:00] Dr. Katrina Furey: Is he the one who was afraid to **** at school, though. [22:03] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. [22:03] Dr. Katrina Furey: So I thought that was interesting that the guy with the phobia about using public bathrooms gets with Stifler's mom. It was just like and pre that. [22:14] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: He has started all these rumors with the help of Michelle Leon's character to talk about how cool he is. [22:21] Dr. Katrina Furey: So he gets laid. Oh, yeah, that's right. [22:25] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: One of the rumors is that he beat up Stifler. So Stifler gives him some sort of a laxative. [22:31] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yes. [22:32] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And then he ends up having to use the bathroom at school and oh my goodness. [22:35] Dr. Katrina Furey: No other I mean, what a type of inadvertent exposure therapy, I guess, right? [22:41] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: ERP just no one no therapy again, would non consensual. [22:47] Dr. Katrina Furey: It was interesting. As I was watching this, I did find myself wondering does Jim have social anxiety disorder? I don't know. What are your thoughts about that? He always just seemed really nervous in social situations. [22:57] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like fear of judgment more so than others. And then thinking also like that it is really common for teenagers to have more of a focus on what others are thinking of them. But he feels I'm sure all of them felt that way, but he felt more intuitively, so could be diagnosable, but worth exploring. [23:18] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. And I liked the relationship for the most part between Tara Reed's character and her boyfriend and how it seems like they'd been together for a while and it seemed like she really wanted their first intimate moment together to be perfect. That was kind of like the stereotypical desire of losing your virginity on prominery, wanting it all to feel great and then sort of hearing her perspective about it compared to his perspective, where he just wanted he was like eager to get it, to do it and keep doing it and then go to college again. I thought was pretty stereotypical of, like, this is what girls want. This is what boys want. That's not always true, but at least it was sweeter than some of the other relationships or dynamics we were seeing depicted. Remember Oz was like the jock, the stereotypical jock who played I think it was lacrosse. And then it seemed like he only joined the show choir hoping to hook up with Heather or with someone, maybe. Again, this power dynamic that you identified portia, I think, keeps coming out over and over that they're trying to pick like the quote unquote nerdy girls thinking they'll have a better chance with that and like, I don't appreciate that. [24:31] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. [24:31] Dr. Katrina Furey: I don't appreciate that depiction very much. [24:34] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. [24:34] Dr. Katrina Furey: And by that I mean I don't like it. [24:37] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: No, but they did feel like the most consensual Heather and Ozone. [24:45] Dr. Katrina Furey: And I don't think they even had sex. I think they just spent that night together and he was falling for her. But again, I just feel like that's just so stereotypical. It's like I don't know. [24:58] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. I mean, the movie was I think I laughed. Not that often, and most of the time I just cringed and was like. [25:07] Dr. Katrina Furey: OOH, yeah, yikes, yikes. And just yeah, thinking about like, way back then, it was so popular. It was, like, wildly popular. [25:14] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Ten of them. [25:15] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. [25:16] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So they kept making three American Wedding, american Vacation or something like that. I think there are talks of like. [25:23] Dr. Katrina Furey: A reunion movie or something. Yeah, I could see that. Especially nowadays with all the reunions being really popular and like, bringing back stuff from the past into the present day. I could totally see that happening. [25:34] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Just I'm scrolling Google right now. People magazine came out with in April 18, 2023. So a couple of months ago. American podcast. Where are they now? So it's like People still it's definitely piece. [25:48] Dr. Katrina Furey: It's definitely part of our culture, for sure. And it's just interesting. Like, why? [25:56] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think because part of it was like nuanced, right? It was, like, weirdly in a really back ended, not at all appropriate way now, but I don't even want to say it because it's not true, but like, oh, like female empowerment. Like, these guys learned, right? Like, that the girls were the one who were, like, running the show or they actually were their own sexual people. [26:22] Dr. Katrina Furey: They had, like, autonomy, they had their. [26:23] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Own consent, they had their own dreams. [26:26] Dr. Katrina Furey: Urges, urges, fantasy, all of that. [26:31] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I thought you were like, no, because you're right, it's not. [26:35] Dr. Katrina Furey: But I can see what you're saying. Yeah, it's kind of like the narrative a little bit. Like we're tiptoeing toward female empowerment. I feel like that's a strong phrase, but I get where you're going with that. [26:48] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: You're like, let's talk about American Pie and female empowerment. That'll be the title of this episode. [26:55] Dr. Katrina Furey: But no, I see what you're saying. And maybe especially for 1999, that the era of, like, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and all these other sexualized females. Yeah, maybe that. [27:06] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And there's so much now. I mean, we could go on a four hour rant just about how so much has come out now of the media treatment of the pop star females at the Times. And I think even uniquely Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake's breakup and everything, all the negative stuff was put on Brittany and even the questions journalists asked, et cetera, et cetera. [27:28] Dr. Katrina Furey: And at that time, there was a huge emphasis on the female pop stars maintaining their virginity. Right. That was a big thing that was talked about and then soon ish after that. Then it was like the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus with their purity rings, and that was like a big emphasis and yet right juxtaposed to how sexually they were dressed and viewed as sexual objects in that way. So, yeah, you're right. I think even just thinking back to the female characters in this movie, like, the clothing they wore, I didn't think for the most part, I didn't think of it as overly sexualized. It seemed like pretty normal like skirts and polo shirt. [28:08] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Really high school typical of the time. Even trends, right? That's what was in cardigans. [28:15] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, exactly. But not like super low cut or super, super short or anything like that. And then as everything plays out, the women do end up having a lot of the power all the way from Stifler's mom all the way down to bandcamp girl Michelle. Michelle yeah. And I do have to say, I know everyone remembers her comment about bandcamp, but I forgot that she said at some point one time at bandcamp, we all thought it'd be funny to play our instruments upside down. And I was like, I actually think that'd be really funny and kind of fun. So I appreciate that. [28:49] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I loved how she just kept saying, this one time of Bangkok, this one time of Bangkok. [28:52] Dr. Katrina Furey: And you see like, he's getting so really tired. [28:54] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And then she makes the comment about. [28:56] Dr. Katrina Furey: Where she put the and he was like, what? [28:59] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And then all of a sudden, right, it's like and that's where the tide switch. That's when she's like, come on upstairs. [29:04] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. She's like, oh, yeah, that's what Pink camp is. It's like 5% playing your instrument and 95%, like having sex and none of the counselors know. [29:14] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Oh, the other scene that I was just thinking of is pre stiffler drinking the beer. Is that when she's like, oh, but I don't want you to tell anyone. He's trying to convince that girl to have sex or whatever. And he's literally which, again, I thought they just did such a good job covering this. He's like rolling his eyes, being like, yeah, I just want to have sex with you, and then I'm going to talk to everybody about it. And he's like, no, I would never tell anyone about this. This is our time. This is special. [29:44] Dr. Katrina Furey: Such a liar. [29:45] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So gross. [29:46] Dr. Katrina Furey: And I feel like that happens, at least back then. I hope now it doesn't happen. [29:52] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Up power, we talk about a lot of non consensual. Sex is mostly not being attacked, right? It's mostly different power dynamics. It can just be a person with social popularity or more social standing in school who you feel like you really want to be liked and you really want their approval. And that's, I'd say, the most common form of non consensual. [30:16] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah, I think that's a really important message to get across. Portia that I feel like the stereotype of a non consensual sexual encounter or assault or rape is like being attacked by a stranger in the stairway in a parking garage or something like that. And that does happen. It's terrible. But way more often, it's what you're describing, where it is someone you know, someone maybe you feel like you can trust or you want to trust or you want to be liked by. And there is this power dynamic, whether it's age, social status. I'm thinking of like at your place of work. Like a boss or someone with some sort of power or authority over you. And it can go both ways, which we see portrayed with stiflers. [31:01] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think just again, we were kind of like, what are we going to talk about with this movie? And there's some good social commentary, I think, of the times, which is always interesting to reflect on. But also, just like I mean, a big theme of it is consent. [31:14] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. [31:14] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And with sex comes consent, and teenagers are having sex. [31:18] Dr. Katrina Furey: It's happening. It has happened since the dawn of time. It will continue happening. Yeah. [31:25] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So kudos to Eugene's attempts at talking about the birds and the bees with Jim and just pointing things out. Again, I don't think he really shared ultimately helpful, this is what you should be doing, this is how it's safe, et cetera. He just gave him some magazines and then was like, so the pie. Let's talk about that. [31:50] Dr. Katrina Furey: But how terrified would you be if you came home and found your son having sex with the pie? I guess it's better than some things. [32:00] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think it is. I'd still just being a therapist. I'd probably be like, let's come from a place of curiosity, and maybe you don't feel comfortable talking to me about it. I'm going to have you talk about it with someone else. And maybe it's only one session, but I just want you to talk about. [32:15] Dr. Katrina Furey: It and get some facts right. [32:18] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And then that can be one session. Or maybe you want to go back, and then there can be more. [32:23] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. Really interesting. [32:25] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I remember having the conversation. [32:26] Dr. Katrina Furey: Yeah. Not ignoring it, not brushing it under the rug. Not saying, we'll just tell your mother we ate it all so good. Oh, my gosh. Again, it just really personified. Just, like, teenage awkwardness and angst and cringiness and wanting to be like and. [32:42] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Wanting friends and nervous about the transition after high school. I know some of it, again, is, like, super normal. And still, till the dawn of time, or until something crazy happens and changes how we should, this will always continue to be right. [33:00] Dr. Katrina Furey: Any final thoughts as we wrap up? [33:04] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I would say watch or beware. And don't let eight year olds watch this, please. [33:10] Dr. Katrina Furey: Dear God, don't. I think it's rated R for a reason. It's very R. Yeah, it's very R. All right. [33:17] Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Cool.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Harley Wallen recently, and we had a lot of fun talking, looking at our animal pictures (he's got a dog that looks like mine! and he has cats), and learning about his newest project, Ash and Bone, now available on VUDU and how he got into entertainment. His bio is below: Harley is a multi award-winner and has starred in over 40 feature films and TV shows with legendary stars such as Tom Sizemore, Tara Reed and John Savage among many others. He started his journey as a Martial Artist early with Judo at age 7 and is now a 5th degree black belt. Harley also spent time learning other arts (Jiu-Jitsu, Tae Kwon - Do black-belts as well) and Mixed Martial Arts. His other love at a young age was dance as he was an outstanding break dancer in his teen years. His sheer talent and skill is what landed him his first opportunity in acting as a dancer at the syndicated Swedish TV cult hit 'Solstollarna'! Soon after, he realized he was bitten by the acting bug. Harley then moved from Sweden to the United States to boldly pursue his dreams. After a short stint these plans got sidetracked by business opportunities as Harley climbed various career ladders. After returning to acting, it wasn't long before the roles started coming and the growth he had experienced in the business world started happening to him in the acting world. After the film incentives ended in Michigan, he decided to start making films of his own. Not having a film school background with only limited experience, he decided to go online to further his education in filmmaking and took several more classes and seminars in acting. Finally in 2016 Harley and his wife Kaiti formed the film production company 'Painted Creek Productions'. The one thing he really takes pride in is his commitment to the character he is playing regardless the size of the role or the paycheck. Harley is now writing, producing, acting and directing and has found his life's purpose.  Harley can be found on IMDB, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelemarotta/support

Tonight we’re joined by our friends from New Jersey – Mike Zapcic and Ming Chen from ASharedUniverse podcast studios, as well as AMC’s Comic Book Men, comic cons around the nation, and all sorts of other places.  It’s always a great time when we get to hang and chat with them, so listen in as we talk about the shared pain of shutting down our podcast studios during this pandemic, movies, tv shows, our opinions about the future of comic cons, when things might start getting back to “normal”, and much, much more…     Hey, this is episode 343 of the one and all the IT in the D show. We actually have guests this week. The one and only both dogs. There’s two of you can’t be the one and only Ming Chen and Mike Zapcic, you might know them from AMCs comic book men. You might know them now from the proprietors of a share universe podcast studio. Is that who you are? We’ll figure that one out or the Ming and Mike podcast. But yeah, this is going to no topics. Is it just catching up with their boys and uh, just talking about, uh, being quarantine. Dave, you may fire one live from our houses with more budget than Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon combined show. We’re broadcasting right here from our houses. Episode 343 Bob, the sales guy gave the gig. Randy, I do the Twitters is doing the Twitters and he’s with us. Find a saddle, line it in the [inaudible] dot com and give us a do a favor and give us a like on the socials and subscribe to us everywhere. Fine podcasts are sold. Yeah. And this is where a, I usually dive in and start talking about our upcoming events and all that stuff we got going on. And uh, yeah, there ain’t none. There’s not a damn one. We are a, we are insanely lucky once again to be joined by two very good friends of ours. Uh, Ming Chen, Mike Zapcic, uh, AMCs comic book men. Did you send them the 40 bucks or was I supposed to cause I a I forgot. We need to get that check right. I got their Venmo. Randy quit eating. Okay. Thank you. That came up on my recommended I, I’m a YouTube junkie and I did go through my recommended videos and actually that your little commercial came up was one of my recommended. I was like, Oh crap, Dave’s got to send them a check. Fortunately, gentlemen, we are considered a nonessential business. Ah, and we gotta keep the lights on somehow. And here’s the thing. I mean, I get it, dude. That’s the, that’s the agony that we went through. I mean, it was a vetted a month ago, uh, today actually. Uh, we, you know, I think I was online chatting with Bob and Jamie and Matt, the guys that do our Northville studios, cause technically speaking, there is an exemption in our stay at home order for media companies and media production companies. And it was so, and it was like one of those things where, okay, just because we can doesn’t really necessarily mean we should. Cause I mean, God forbid something happens and somebody catches it yet. No, we’re done. Yeah, that’s what we said. Uh, I went there, Ming, what was it? Uh, actually a month ago this, this coming Friday and Ming’s taken copper wiring out of the wall. This kind of a bitch bear. Well that’s, that’s the Detroit, that’s the Detroit boy in him. He’s a, he’s finding an abandoned structure. And I’m like, what are you doing? He’s like, we’re podcasting from home. He’s like, I’m going to figure out how we’re going to do this. We’re going to freaking do, ah, bring your laptop. I’m like, I’m not leaving it here. Oh yeah. So, uh, yeah, we just now we’ve been doing this for a month and you know it’s not the same. No, no. We talked about this last week. Have you guys been watching late night? They’re like the Conans and Stalins and Kimmel’s like it’s this, this zero like we have microphones so like our budget’s higher. Like they’re literally just going with an iPhone. Right. And doing like, like a produced TV show at midnight. Like channels that it’s like the little Rascals but on network TV pretty much we’ll do it. Like I said, I mean the other day watching, you know, seeing a news program on TV, basically playing the live stream off of somebody’s Facebook page as part of the news content is, it just blew my mind the first time I saw it. I’m like, well yeah, I guess you wouldn’t want to have camera crews and reporters and all that kind of stuff. They’re there. Okay, this is what it is. Now they could have shipped them out at like a like a nice camera and some shit and told them where to plug one in. You know, and we’re going to stream here and see where to plug it in. Randy’s Randy’s been quarantined a couple of little bit longer than he, I don’t know if you saw even the little cheap logic webcams, they’re gone back ordered cause everyone’s snapped him up to do zoom in shifts. So, yeah. Yeah, I was laughing. I see a lot of celebrities are trying to live stream now and it’s frustrating as we’re watching them. We’re like, dude, just call us. Just call us, we’ll help you out. So we saw Chris Jericho, the wrestler, he did a licensee with Kevin and he was literally holding a laptop with Kevin’s face on it, like streaming dude. Wow. Chris, you have my number. Just call him. We’ll tell you how to connect you in livestream. Like, and you know, you guys have good Mike’s already. But you know, we were, we were just sitting back laughing a little bit, but I mean, I, I love that everyone’s trying, you know, they’re there, they’re there, they’re moving. Uh, they’re, they’re, they’re, they keep going. I love that little awkward though because like did you see Adam Sandler on Fallon? He’s singing the quarantine song. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should, but it’s Jimmy Fallon, so he’ll pretty much do anything. Right, right. Well, no, I mean it is, it’s hard. I mean, you know, we’ve got, you know, we’ve, we’ve kept a bunch of our shows, uh, up and running, uh, that we’ve even got a couple of new ones starting this week, which is really weird. Um, but I mean the best way that I’ve come to describe it for people is like, so zoom is about as close as you’re going to get to being in studio right now. Like you can at least see each other, you can make eye contact, you can get body language and all that kind of stuff. And at a minimum we record audio just like we do as if you were sitting in the studios, just like in the studios. Yep. We got cameras there and we can turn them on and we can record. We can do video too. And Hey, if you want, we can stream it out. And all that stuff too. But I mean, so to me zoom is, like I said, I’ve been about as close as you’re going to get to being in studio at this point. Yeah. You just can’t smell each other. That’s the only sense. Hey, you can’t switch. I mean, I’m okay with, I mean if you’ve ever been in a room with Bob for an extended period of time, especially on draft beer and Coney night. So what do you, what do you guys been keeping busy? What do you guys watch? I gotta I got to tell a funny story real quick and we’ll uh, we’ll dive into the other stuff. We uh, we’ve been doing eighties movie nights for the kids. Nice. Vernors um, we’ve been, I’ve been trying to get my kids raised on eighties properly cause they haven’t seen a lot of the John Hughes movies. So, uh, Saturday night was airplane. I’m like, okay, you’re sitting down and you’re watching airplane. And uh, as soon as they go to the, my gumbo bar, see my 15 year old just looks at me and goes, really dad, this is from your podcast. This is where you’ve got it from. Like, yes, this is, it’s worse than Detroit. This is where I got it from. Hey, pay homage to the greatest movie ever, ever stolen. Um, for $600. Yeah. Right, right, right. I always say the fairly brothers, the sucker brothers to say, watch, I like had to watch the, um, the zero or thing afterwards. Just show him that it was stolen. Cause for somehow they didn’t believe me. I’m like, this is like line for line to see movies, his 50s movies. I mean they’re, they added the one liners and they’re teenagers and your other dad, of course they didn’t believe you. That’s how that works when you try to see, I think that’s a thing of comedy too, is when you keep telling people that it’s funny. It’s funny. It’s funny. It’s funny. Trust me. Like they just, they’re going to purposely, yeah, yeah, yeah. Law of diminishing returns. Of course. Yeah. Yeah. And that’s where all our wa, that’s where all our good material comes from is old movies that our kids haven’t seen yet. So they think we are, thank God God for Amazon women on the moon. Oh nice. I watched weird science with my wife and like I swear to God six times during the movie, she’s like, is that where you got that stupid line? Like rolling her eyes? Like you walk into a bar and you really have to go bar bar. Yeah. That’s why that is. Yeah. So yeah, I mean I guess, I guess that’s, that’s the question. But like I said, I mean, you know, from a podcast Detroit perspective, you know, we’ve kept, you know, a good percentage of our shows up and running and enrolling this way. Some people still wanted to take a break and cool. That’s fine. Um, but like I said, you know, we’ve got other new shows starting, like, how’s, how’s everything going with you guys? Uh, so far so good. And, uh, I’ve been hustling man because, uh, so you know, our audience, our, our podcast is, uh, know divided into thirds. There was one third, where was I going? I can’t come in. How do we do this online? Like they, they really want to keep going. The other third you kind of had to talk them into, that’s the nice thing about being at home. You can light up because I have like, I actually had literally have like three will you remember that? Like sharper image, the smoke eaters that they used to sell the big tall coat. Yeah, I’ve got three of those right here. Just to be safe. I love it. The other third, you know, we had to convince them, uh, we had to show her what I would tell her. Is it going to be the same? Uh, you know, how does it work? Um, and can I grab the download anything? Am I going to be able to figure it out without you there? And I’m like, it totally, totally accessible. They link, I send you go, I’ll go. Wait. The other, I was going to say the other third is just home masturbating. No, but I don’t know how it is for you guys. Like with me, it’s like I get into a mindset, I get to the studio, you have a couple of beers and a shot of snaps. You kind of have the intro and you kind of get, you know, you turn the head backwards and it’s over the top, you know? And like here it’s like, I’m half asleep on the chair and all of a sudden I was like, my phone feeds, I’m like, shit, it’s quarter to nine, you know? Then I’m like, I gotta like get all fired up again. And now it’s like, Hey, you don’t try to act like I’m all into it. But when in fact I kinda, you know, it’s, it’s a different thing. Do you want it from, I’m doing it from your chair that you’ve been in all day, you know, of course. And that’s part of our selling point. That’s part of the thing that, you know, we noticed with you guys when it becomes like a destination, it’s so much better than doing it from your basement. Oh yeah. Who wants that go someplace where you’re going to be jazzed to be, you know, go someplace that has this really, really cool ambience. Well, let me, you guys actually do, you’ve got ambiance. Yeah. I mean, David, not withstanding, you turn around and there’s every liquor in the hedge. Annabelle. Well, it’s here. Let me, I’ll give you the, uh, I’ll give you the wide angle view. Hold on. Oh, please. Oh my God. Holy Christ. All right, so dare yarn. I have my, uh, my scotch shelf. I have my, uh, you know, my star Wars Tiki glasses up there. So damn impressive. I mean, I say we all go over to David’s house and podcast from down there, but the whole thing, Bob, it’s, it’s, you gotta get the hell out of your chair. And that’s why a lot of people like, what, what do I buy to do this at home? I’m like, you’re making a mistake. Come in and do it. It’s no Moss. It’s no fuss. Your good to go. No. And that’s the dynamic between Dave and I. It goes something like this. He goes, if I have 10 bottles of liquor, he’s got to have 20 and when he has 20 I’m going to have 31 I have 30 he’s got to have 40 right. So it got to the point where he comes over at my Christmas party, sees my liquor cabinet. He says, goddammit, he goes out shopping. That’s like if you want him to up more liquor, just make me happy. This is Bob’s pleaser booze is what that actually is the tense Nicolas cage and leaving Las Vegas where he’s, I’m not saying that’s never happened before, but no, I mean it might migrate. You were just saying, I mean that’s totally a thing. I mean that’s, you know like when we like, cause we do like when we do our, like, you know, podcasting talks at cons and all that kind of stuff. The first thing we always tell people is look, at the end of the day, you don’t need us. Like you, you absolutely can go out and you know, buy a Mike, do your lap, you know, plugging in your laptop, do your thing and go, you totally can. But then I always followed up with, look, you know what, like our biggest area of growth over the last three years has been exactly that. Like people that have been recording at home or they’ve been recording someplace else and then one of a couple things happen. They’re either ready for it to be easier on them, uh, or they’re ready for it to start sounding better or they’re ready to start having guests and they don’t want their guests in their living room. And so, I mean that’s the other part of it. Cause like to us, like when we, like we talked about it, when we decided it was time to leave the place that we were recording originally, you know, do we just buy the gear and put it in Bob’s house or my house or whatever else. And what we realized is like, so that that Monday night, nine o’clock became like religion as Bob always says that it was, you know, what come hell or high water Monday night, 9:00 PM your ass asses in that seat, the light, the, you know, the Mike likes getting hit and off you go and you’re, and, and you’re there. If we had put it like in his house or my house, that would have been a little me. I don’t want to do it this week. I don’t want to, you know, it’s just going to your house. It’s just coming in. Yeah, let’s, whatever. Um, but like going to the studio, it’s, it’s part of that, I think it’s, I think it’s a thing of, of people that kind of get serious about it to some degree it’s a ritual, right? And that whole thing is having those people who, who have that drive to do it and you know, God bless him, we found them. You found them. Obviously you guys are two ahead and two years ahead of Arker. So I mean, and we’re not looking to flatten the curve. We’re not we, let’s be clear. We are not, I want to widen it out. Well no, I think that, go ahead. I was going to say it kinda sucks cause Ming Ming had this sweet um, studio set up down in Asbury park. Gorgeous. That was so great. And we can’t go there. No one can go there. It sucks. And yeah, they should time that everything wasn’t matter. Go down the whole boardwalk. I know. Yeah. By the time that they opened the boardwalk, they’re going to be like, all right, get the hell out. Right. Do they have a bam Bigelow statue out there? Cause I was like the home of Asbury park, man. It’s a homo Fitbit, you know, and maybe we need to spearhead that. You know, if you want to see something done, do it yourself. I was going to say I made one out of marshmallows but the seagulls just messed it up. It’ll be like the Robocop statue in Detroit. Bob, let’s let you, we’ll get Micah [inaudible] with all the flames and shit on it like, and then we’ll just tell people, I’ll just stand there for like eight hours out of the day. They have, they have the hoodie. I can also have bumps like piss on my feet. I mean food, all the statutes in Asbury park. Anyway, so I just, since you mentioned Schatz than it is you guys, traditions are what they are made myself, I poured myself a shout at AIG from Donna whiskey in the jar. I took a trip out, I left mine at the studio. Ah, but, and the bottle of Malort that you gave me, that’s it’s probably for the best. You forgot that there warding off evil spirits. Absolutely. Trying to get a bottle there. The Lord has done, they’ve done a barrel aged Malora. I don’t know if you guys have seen it. You’re in barrels. I was like, yeah, what kind of barrel or the aging Malort in which uh, you know, should make it taste better, which is not what we want. So I’m trying to get a bottle that is very limited and there’ll be like anus, anus aged would taste much better than like anything to kill a taste and I you always ask why I quit drinking. This is it right here. Malort is the reason why. Wow. You many bottles too, which I didn’t know you have to get them at the distillery, but they do many bottles of Malora, which we need to get on that. We need to take a trip to Chicago and just load up. That’s where I get all my German crabs because they don’t carry it in Michigan. So every time I go see family in Chicago, it’s like half a trunk full of all that weird ass caraway seeds snobs and raspberry snacks. I love that stuff. I love that. Flanagan’s ragged, honest. He’s like, Oh yeah, this, I’m loving how this episode is. Hey, you remember that one time? That was great. Shut up Jamie. What are you guys watching these days? Like we’re binge in a, we just caught a Newton. I just got a new bitch this weekend. Have you caught me millions yet? Finished that awhile ago. So good. Good shit. I have not. So that’s next on my list. That’s right. You love, you love the monopoly game. Yeah. You love scams. So well it is and it’s fascinating how cause I mean, yeah, I mean, and they were right like you like that last episode cause it, you know, the, the investigation and all that stuff, all like the arrest and everything in that took place literally the week before nine 11. And that’s why like, cause I do, I like thinking back like that was a huge story. Huge story. And then it just kind of vanished and everybody collectively forgot about it because of the timing. So we started, uh, we started season one, episode one of Ozark, um, on Thursday. And right now we’re at a season three, episode six. So for as much as I would like to thank Walter White for teaching me how to cook meth, I was like fake Marty bird for teaching me how to launder money. I feel like because of it. You’re well rounded Bob. Yeah. But it’s like what? Uh, you know, it’s like those shows, it’s hilarious. He’s like, let’s do breaking bad. And uh, I think shameless is kind of funny. So let’s kind of do a, but like make it a different topic and let’s just put them together and make a show. Well, I mean that’s technology. It’s Uber, but for this, okay, so this is breaking bad, but this is totally how they make shows these days. And I mean, but I mean the writing’s brilliant. It’s like literally we’re sitting up at three 30 in the morning. I’m like Friday night while he was like, God damn it, putting another one out, go to bed at like four 35 in the morning, like all weekend and now we have to go back to work. You know, cause you know, she’s at the hospital and luckily I’m still working and it’s like are, you know, trying to get back into a normal schedules and say, dude, I thought, I thought my 10 year old had a slat of screwed up sleep patterns. Mine is so jacked up. My kids are going to bed at 600 morning. Yeah. Ah, I dunno. Are you guys on a normal schedule or what are you guys doing? I wake up at like three o’clock in the morning and I hear my, uh, my oldest screaming at, you know, his, uh, his friends he’s online gaming with. He’s like, yeah, I will end you. I’m like, from, I was going to say, so it’s Bob, it’s not that bad. I’m playing battlefield five and I’m like, I’m microphone less now. I’m not, I refused. I, I yelled one sounded a little kid about how I can buy his house and bang his mom and, uh, I, I threw away my grown at a PA. I go, yeah, that’s awesome. Yeah, no, I, a time does not exist here. I bet. Yeah. Four or five like watching the sign up, but, um, I, I think I get more done that late at night though. There’s no one to bug you. It’s great. Oh, I’m a total night all on the same way. But it is, I mean, yeah, if it weren’t for you, it’s Monday, so it’s show day. That’s like, that’s the reason why I know it’s Monday. Uh, you know, like yesterday. Okay. All the Easter memes floating around. Okay. Easter Sunday. Cool. That, that, that’s that. Yeah. They’re like mid week I’m going to be like, okay, is it, is it Wednesday? Is it Friday? Is it like where blurs day? Yeah. I swear to God, go like it’s March 97. That’s all I know. That’s, yeah. At this point in my life I’ve never gotten, I’ve never seen more memes and I’ve never seen more naked black men’s wieners than I have this week. I swear to God and to me, and that’s been going around, I was like, you better clarify that quickly, Bob. We met on a chocolate chip cookie. Oh my God. There it is. Oh my God. Zoom in on this. Oh my God. There it is. Look in the fog. Like there’s a tornado that hit. Oh my God. There it is. It’s like the where’s Waldo? Like where did, like where did that come from? Like I’m completely clueless. Like Rob hasn’t had this much sex and she was a a boy scout leader. Yeah, exactly. Oh, there’s a no, there’s a, um, there was a vice story that came out about this guy that it was hard up and he started, he did like a corn. I don’t know if it was whatever, whichever kind of porn, but you know, you ever seen the movie hall pass where the one guy helped for sure when he passes out in the jacuzzi and it’s like down to his knees. I don’t know if it’s the same guy or somebody definitely. But like apparently now someone decided to be funny to try to sneak it into every picture they could. And so like it’s like anytime you get your buddies to look at a, I guess another man’s a winner. It’s a, it’s a win in your room. Nice. Hey, so we’ve got a bath to chime in. You know Beth Mosley, she comes to our events and she said, yeah, she started shutting off the internet at night last night. Her 14 year old went into convulsions and threatened to move out. Yeah, I know when right there. Yeah. That could also get you killed in your sleep as well. So Beth, be careful. We’re at a minimum, a CPS call. I mean that’s, you know the argument, Mike, I’m like the same situation as you. My daughter’s screaming at like four in the morning or like, cause she woke up, her modernize is going to work at it cause you just woke up your mother and she’s like arguing with me that it’s okay. I’m like, I’m not telling you to get off the phone. I’m telling you not to yell. I’m like, I didn’t realize this was like, this is where we’re at is a bad phone etiquette for God sake. Phone etiquette. A four in the morning. All right. Unless you’re, you’re texting somebody, some explicit pictures and therefore adding to their buddies. There’s no screaming, right? No, but they’re gaming and they got their headsets on. They don’t realize how loud they are. You know, it’s like me and normal by my daughter got my voice. So she’s drama. I’m like literally in drama and she knows how to project your voice worse than me. Um, so it’s like, which, which is saying something. Yeah, I can’t get too mad because I’m like, yeah, that’s my, I recognize that. I came by it honestly. Yeah, it’s a, it’s okay. Bad thought. So back in the days of dialogue, um, I would have to run a phone cord from my parent’s bedroom into mine for the 2,400 baud modem and a, well my parents thought it was time to go to bed. They would unplug it from their bed and I would see like those weird characters. Oh, absolutely interrupted. And I was like, looks like I just wanted to take another 10 minutes to download that boob picture. That’s, that’s all I need it using it like concatenating like my brother, the multi-part files and NTP man. Yup. You still haven’t asked you for me collection going here. It’s, Oh, of course. Well why would I throw that out? And you know, I mean it’s, it’s vintage now. It’s, it’s our teasel. It’s, it’s like a hard drive that’s has like weighty stink lines coming off of it. I have vivid memories of my buddy’s basement. We were maybe 13 at the time and he had like a 1200 block of modem and the whole thing, it would take like a half an hour for the thing that’s just to download, but you couldn’t look at it close up because it didn’t make any sense. What if you went to the other side of the basement? It was crystal clear how you would look at a boob. It was like literally probably like 30 yards away. I’ll extend a phase where like I think I can see Bob’s dating life in high school was so weird. He would get a girl shirts off and then like walk to the other side of the room just to make sure he was seeing what he needed to see. I was here like, no, not really. I just want to talk to him. Yeah, but gimme a minute. Why don’t you like watching scrambled Cinemax? That was a thing. If you could, if you could make out a nipple and all that mess. Wow. I thought that exactly. I thought the nipple was way closer to the elbow for some reason. I had no idea. Desperate times, Jen, ladies and gentlemen, desperate time, which I mean we’re, we’re kind of in right now. I mean, that’s, you know, you look at, uh, I mean, I know, I mean, not that it’s funny, but I know several people that are trapped in relationships that they were planning on getting out of a, and then this happened and it keeps getting extended and they’re not, um, you know, you’ve got people that, I mean, like, it’s not, you know, I’ve got my kids and all that stuff and you need it. But like, I like being trapped alone has got to be the absolute worst right now. Like that, that to me would be like the most mind numbing. Just, Oh my God, what the hell am I doing with my life experience? What if you had all the money in the world and you could do whatever the hell you wanted that would end you. You were at peace with yourself, which I don’t think there’s an American on the planet right now that can, that could probably stand a month or two that we’re going to be locked up together and locked up. Yeah. Nobody, nobody takes that time. Nobody takes that, you know, all I’ve got an hour and I’m just going to be, yup. Well that’s why I’m loving the meme that’s floating around now. That’s like, yeah. You all, you people that were sharing those memes about how you would totally, you know, spend a month in a cabin in the woods with no internet, no anything for $100,000. Yeah. No, you couldn’t even make five days to save your own grandmother kiss my ass, you know? Yeah, exactly. No, it’s the other meme that goes, yeah, I definitely have time for that. As it turns out, I do have time for that. Yeah. He knows that I’m sick. I envision, um, like the, as John Q sec and high fidelity where he goes through his comic collection and it’s like, is it alphabetical or is it chronological and no, it’s organized by when I acquired it. Right. I think that then you’re like, Oh, wow. To be honest with you, Bob, I lost most of them. It was all in big chunks because I got them after Sandy again. But, um, I, my comics are a mess right now, even in the studio, which is where the bulk of my library is. It’s, I still have to go in there for like three hours and just go through them. Oh my God. I’ve had so much free time. I managed to clean out both my email inbox and the folder I had labeled old inbox. How about the spam? How far ma’am? I just have to that one automatically or did that date back? Uh, three years. That’s a long time. Ooh. You know, like, I forgot that you lost your shit at Santen in the hurricane. Yeah. So I’m in like a new house right now. I’m like, God, no, I’m learning like all the, the uh, the quaint, charming things about my house. Like which steps squeaks now that I’m trapped in it. Yeah, exactly. It’s like, Holy crap. That’s the dumbest thing that mu, that stupid be quiet movie with, uh, with John Krasinski, what does it call it? A quiet place. Quiet place. And they like painted the spots on the, on the, on the steps. So they, they step on that spot. Like, why don’t they just carpet it with rubber, like rubber met carpet. Then it’s quiet. Like they gotta put the paint on it. So I’m in the right, like seriously. We’ve talked about it last week. That movie couldn’t have been stupid or I’m like, okay, if it’s quiet behind the waterfall, why don’t you just build like 30 waterfalls or Roger joint and then you could talk in the goddamn house. Why don’t you just live behind the waterfall? Just do that. Move in there. Why not on it? We have like 40 towers on am radio going all day. So it’s like, and you instead, you gotta got some electrical studio in your basement. But I do. David does. Ming does rant. Where are you right now? Uh, where am I in the front room? Randy’s not a hard question. I’m not hitting you with the zingers yet. Oh yeah. This is the first white cloth. Forgive them. Okay. All right. We’ll wait. Just get a gets on his face for sure. I am so Baba. I, and a lot of people are shocked by this. I had never seen the office before, so I never ever, I didn’t see it when I didn’t really watch network TV, I guess the last like 15 years. Um, so I never tuned into it when I was on NBC and then I guess when it hit streaming, I just never got a chance to, to watch it. And um, yeah, for some reason it was like three in the morning, a couple of weeks ago and I was like, Oh, I’ll check this out. Everyone says it’s funny. And I was like, Oh, they were right. Like it’s still, it’s, it’s amazing. I um, yeah, it’s better late than never. I’m, I’m kinda glad to be discovering it now where I have like, you know, a month or so to get through all of them. I’m in the same boat as you. I never watched the parks and rec, all the, all the Ron Swanson things were just way over. I didn’t know. I’m like, I don’t get it. Like, so now I just started watching. I’ve been done with the first season of parks and rec. Yeah. I’m in the same boat. Like, where’s this show been all my life? Well, 2011, a HBO just added a whole bunch of content to Hulu. Um, and I think a couple of other services that now have access to that. I believe it’s all the HBO max content that’s coming out. But I’m floored by all the people on my friends list and I’m like, Oh my God, I just started watching the Sopranos. This is the best show ever. I’m like, where have you been? Like what? What’s wrong with you that you never watched this show? Wait until they get the Deadwood. Got ya. Netflix originals that are in foreign languages. So like I watched three seasons of the protector, which is in Turkish and I’ve watched a Ragnar rock, which is in Norwegian. What the hell are those? Why are you in someone’s bedroom closet right now? Are you watching them on dress blink twice if you’re under duress? Have you seen, have you guys seen there’s a, it’s a Russian of the Russian Avengers. We’re like, there’s like, instead of the raccoon, there’s like an eight foot bear. Um, no, there’s a guy that worked at, seen it in dubbed in English. I haven’t been able to catch a copy of it, but it looks like as good as the Avengers is, but it’s like the version where all the people are like, is it called the Soviet super soldiers? No. No. Um, if I find the trailer I’ll, I’ll email or I’ll send it to me. Yeah. You guys watch community yet? No, that was another one, right? Oh man. Go on Hulu. Go on Netflix. Okay. David, did you watch it? That’s one of those ones where I think I got a couple episodes in and went mad and got distracted by other stuff. Yeah, I was not going to go all the way through. You don’t even have to stick with it for a very long, oddly enough, I trust your judgment. Everybody. Everybody in it holds their own. I think it’s amazing. I just want to see the one episode where chow goes, huh? That’s all you need. Once I find that part, there are a couple, there were like four or five of them. Wasn’t Chevy chase in it though too. Chevy Jay’s was in it and he’s, they write him, so he lampoons himself. So a spectacular Dan Harmon is a genius. Interesting. All right. Yeah. So yeah, he, you watch it and uh, he’s, he plays, uh, not a, not even a retiree, just a community college. One of the old guys at the community college who still thinks he’s relevant but he’s not, and it’s just, um, it’s amazing cause he doesn’t even realize what’s going on in real life in real life. Doesn’t realize that he’s playing short of himself, which I think is, it’s great. He’s the one that fell up. Like if you ever saw the roast of him, like he gets like visibly pissed off and it’s like, I don’t know, you don’t get the joke. Like everyone else gets roasted, pisses their pants laughing and like they had to like stop telling jokes on him because he was so like getting angry. I’m like, dude, what happened to you man? Like it, which kind of defeats the purpose I think. Yeah. Why did you agree to this Chevy? Did you not understand what a Rose did? I just thought I was going to be treated like a God. I didn’t understand. This is going to be a thing. I think it’s different if you’re like Rob Lowe or Tommy Lee where it’s like you had your Dick so big, you know, low, you could open the door to like ha ha cause it’s awesome. Or you know, you bagged every girl in Hollywood, Rob Lowe. Like ah, that’s awesome. But like Bob, I found your movie, which called guardians. That’s it. That’s it. No galaxy, nothing. Just guardians. Yeah, it looks seriously. I need to watch the whole thing. The trailer will blow your mind. How freaking awesome it is. I’m like literally the bears carrying two huge gallon guns. It’s totally, Oh, that’s cool. Randy, you’re awesome. Thanks. That’s what I do. He has his moment and it was a release in the U S on a by shelf factory. So it looks like you may be able to find it somewhere. Oh man, this looks cool. Speak on shout factory. Um, I have a store. I got to go to the, uh, before, before quarantine hit, uh, I got to go to the mystery science theater, a live show, the, the big cheesy nice. It was great. And, uh, they came into the stash, all the puppeteers Nate beagle, um, and, and, and the rest, uh, they all came in and, uh, Nate’s the only one whose name I remember off the top, but that’s okay. They need backstage. He’s, uh, he was CRO, he’s pro robot. Oh, cool. Um, I went and it was, it was fantastic, but, um, we were talking about bad movies and we were throwing stuff back and forth at each other and, uh, damn it, I should, uh, pull it up on my TV on my, uh, Amazon’s, uh, it’s a Canadian movie. That’s so Star-Spangled awesome. I’ll get it to you before the end of the show. It is awful. And there are a couple of movies that, uh, I was gonna recommend for you guys. Um, there’s actually Canadian movies. I know there are Canadian movies. I go figure, I mean, not feel, didn’t Vancouver, I get that, which looks like no place. Canadian bacon. Uh, yeah, but that’s about as close. Yeah. No, honestly, like the, the biggest thing I’ve been watching is it, cause I went back and rewatched it before the new season hit was Westworld. Um, and I’m, I’m still like Westworld season one fricking amazing season two. What are you doing? Season three, they’re getting back on track and I’m happy with it. Um, and I think there’s like, uh, I say I haven’t watched the last 19th, so there’s four. Um, but yeah, no add. I’m curious to see where they’re going to go with it like that. That’s just a phenomenal show to me. This season’s weird. Yeah, it is. But I mean it’s, it’s, it’s getting more back to season one from a, from a thematic thing and more than anything else. What, uh, what show did I binge? Where like they went back in time and it was like, actually it was 70s and year when like Westworld lost me when I didn’t know actually when the hell it was. Oh, I remember, I remember talking about that with you where like when they like, cause when they were running the dual timelines and it was okay, that’s young, old William and the man in black and all that stuff. Um, yeah you were, you were not Amir used. No I don’t, you know one thing it’d be, you know Terminator time sequence. Fine. I can deal with that. Yeah. Even though the, the, the entire premise is flawed but yeah. So you can deal with it. Yeah. Did we ever talk, we do argue about the, with you guys, I’m sure we have not. What’s your take, what’s your take on Terminator time? Like cause it’s like how do you send back your buddy to beg your mom to like save you like none of that. That doesn’t make any sense to me. Well when you find out that your buddy is your pops, you have to send them back. Well but how does that work? Cause cause you have to get to the future in order for him to be sent back. But, but how does it get to the future timeline if he’s not there already to knock her up and then be there? No, that’s, that’s the chicken and the egg, right? Yeah. Well he had to be born, let’s say in 2027 and he’s got to go back to 1992 to bang his mom. 84 though that I’m talking to that one. Okay. He’s got to go back to 84 yeah. Yeah, you’re right. Cause he was dead by 92 so got to go. He wasn’t even born yet. So it doesn’t matter. He’s, he’s buried in paupers feet. So yeah, that’s what I mean. I mean it’s like, so where like where like in the original timeline, like not even the whole loop back, but like that’s the thing and the original timeline. How does John Connor come to be John Connor comes to be because it’s predestined that he’s got of saying, Oh, so now she’s the Virgin Mary. She’s not, no, she’s not a Virgin. I saw the footage, but he’s got to send his father back and that’s how weird is that? Like your best, imagine your best friend. You’re sitting there like back in and yeah, you’re, you’re Devin in your parents’ basement and you’re like, Hey, wait a minute. And you find that diary and you’re like, Oh crap. You know, I gotta send this guy back so he can bang my mom who will lesson and not changing history from mr. I’m my own grandpa. Thank you. Future Raba yeah. Boy, bill and Ted’s thing. It’s like, Oh man, we forgot the key. It’s like, Oh, I’ll just get him later and I’ll go back in time and put them here. Just gotta remember to grab the keys? Yeah. Well, the Terminator thing, it was broke. That’s why they couldn’t send back at that time. 30,000 terminators. Why don’t you just go back to the wild, wild West? We didn’t have people with like guns. I just shoot him without arrows and he’s like, I’m metal. And he would have ended up killing, you know, killing her way back then. Right. But if you go back far enough, then Skynet wouldn’t have been developed to evolve into the system. Does God know you’ve got like internal, um, [inaudible] doesn’t need satellite crap being Mike August sends his regards. Oh man. August when we said hello, you miss you, we missed watching. We missed baseball. We miss you and everything you love. That’s what we miss. Well except politics cause this is a hijacking your jukebox. Don’t we all? I think we all did that. I know we have not hijacked and touched your machine in weeks. Dude. I literally almost said I almost bought one like a couple weeks ago. Like I like just, just to have it in my basement cause I just, I probably wouldn’t even ever like use it, but I just want to have it just so that I know I could if I wanted to. All that I made fun of. I’m online. So this he posted on Facebook and we saw it. He’s like the one guy who like you. This is the weirdest thing. We talk about like buying, like I buy my music from Amazon, like actual, you know, so I have hard copies of my music. Um, Dave, like I don’t pay for music. I’m like, I get the X, we all got to hoodwink Y let me, here’s the thing. No, let me finish. Then you can read what all you want. And I’m not rebutting. I’m giving the why because the music industry lied to me when the CD came out. The music industry promised me that music would be cheaper, albums would get cheaper, things would get better and they would last forever. What’s happened? The CDs don’t last forever. They wear out the prices of albums keep going up. Why? Because you spend 500 bajillion dollars a year trying to convince me that I need to love Amy Winehouse. I ma, I don’t. If I do, I do. If I don’t, I don’t shut up. Take that $500 million, save it and lower the cost of my music and I’m good. So, so instead of, I don’t want to pay for music, you put $20 in a jukebox priority, plays everything. So then he sometimes puts $40 in so, so I don’t get to play anything cause he wants to play all these shit first. Right now. He wants to put one of these in his basement because he thinks it’s fun to fight with other people and he’ll priority play over cause he owns the goddamn thing. I just thought it would be fun to have one Bob. That’s what’s called, it’s a Bluetooth speaker like at my house, at my parties. Everyone fights over Bluetooth supremacy. You hook it up to your Alexa. Yeah. You’re hooking up your Alexa and then we all scream at it cause there’s no voice recognition. $40 is spending is not for music. It’s the Buster balls and that’s a small price to pay. Wait, I’m still not paying for the music. I’m, I’m paying for the look on Bob’s face. See honey, hold on. It’s funny when the guy at the pool table playing Metallica and you play something stupid like Richard cheese or like fart, the 10 and a half minute version of Chuck man Gian. Yeah. Comedy is you following into an open sewer hall and choking on human waste while you die. Tragedy is me getting a paper cut on my little finger. It’s only funny when you hear some guy in the back on, there was nothing funny or you guys, I don’t know you, you don’t, the phones don’t do this no more. But the old Samsung’s you could put in a TV remote control. I still have that phone just to carry as old burner phone and turn off all the TVs and the redneck bars like dirt, like NASCAR races and like Keno and shit. The last number would pull up. Her Keenan be able would walk to take a piss and turn off all the TV people go nuts. Like literally we almost got this plate giggling like little and by us he means him ever want to win money, play poker with Bob because anyway, Hey, are you guys watching? Or I’m like, well dude, what are you talking about? I don’t know. And Bob’s over like a Japanese school girl. If you’re not laughing, there’s a really funny boy you’re going to hell for that day by the way. I’m okay. That’s that. I mean it was, it was worth every moment. It was. It absolutely was good company, man. Don’t worry about it. Exactly. It’s where all the fun people are. Some of my friends are going to be, what the hell do I want to go to heaven for? So I guess no, go ahead Bob. No, I said we’ve been, we’ve been sure sched at bars. Like I don’t get that. Like when you’re in a loud bar with music blaring, like literally we’ve been shushed and I can’t quite understand what it is that we’ve done or do to like necessity to having a grown man walk over and tell us to keep it down. Bob, this gets back to the, your daughter inherited your boy, your big booming voice, your know how to project it. That’s what that gets down to. Sometimes you forget how to not project it right now. I know when I feel like opera man’s singing it just said, yeah, forget it. It’s all over. Yeah. What part are you getting shushed at? Cause I remind me to never go there. It was Salinas dude. We’ve gotten shushed at, I think that might’ve been two owners ago though. So I think they’ve gotten used to us by now. I, uh, I had my, uh, my buddies golf outing. Um, we, uh, went to the Hamlin pub, which is, there’s like seven, eight of them and it’s just like a corner of golf bar, whatever, you know, pizza, whatever. It’s simple. And like we’re done with a golf outing and we go back there and I’m telling stories and the guy’s just me and I’m like, I’m freaked out. I’m like, Oh man, like the manager. And I go, Oh my God, was I like swearing. I’m sorry. There are kids around. He goes, Oh no, you weren’t swearing. You’re being very polite. You’re just so loud. And I’m like, what? Like that’s when you, that’s when you start cursing like what is wrong with you? You pieces go to town on him. By the way, I’m going to tell a story real quick. Today is the seventh anniversary, by the way. It’s my buddy Twillio his birthday. Happy birthday. Happy birthday to seven. So you gotta hear this story seven years ago. It’s Toyota’s 40th birthday and we go to just, he want us to keep it simple, go to a bar by his house and we might argue, well in the meantime Tulio sister knows a, there’s a, there’s a Italian wedding hall here called pennants. There’s a couple of and Tulio sisters friends with the doc. Can you figure this out? Well, there’s a, there’s a hell of a flowchart here. They’re filming a flavor flavor opened up a flavor flavor chicken and ribs here and they were filming seasonal glove too or whatever the hell have you show. It was flavor, flavors. Love, flavor of law. Labor of love. Yeah. And Tulio sister calls me and she goes, they’re filming an episode tonight and they want the house full because they want it to look cool. Can you bring to Leo’s party? So here I am at this pool hall and I’m trying to hide the secret from him. And basically it comes, I go 10 o’clock and I’m basically telling everyone we’re leaving and he’s like, he’s like pushing me like we’re not leaving. What do we leave? I go, we’re leaving. I don’t get in. Like I go grab him by the gay ankles that we have. We’re getting out of here. So we pull up in this house, I’ll, I’ll send you guys a picture. We walk in this house and all the way in the back by like the pool table and like the little like three seat bar. There’s flavor flave back there with a, with a chocolate Stockton with barbecue sauce, put chicken wings in there. What’s up solver’s entire night goes and all he’s doing is walking around and he’s the most nicest calm. He’s like, he’s like polite, like Ming. Like when he walks around he’s like, hi, how are you? Shaking hands, just being nice. And like then all of a sudden when it’s time for him to, yeah, when the cameras, the lights come on and the camera turns on, he gets up on the table and he’s like, he’s doing his whole shtick and we’re just like, this is the most surreal night I’ve ever like. And the best thing is we got a picture of Twilio’s mother who was like, Oh your old Italian and him. They were talking for like 20 minutes. And I go, what in the living S is your mother Rose to one? Could she be possibly saying like remember that one time a nation of millions when you were the height bands that shocked you, what could she be saying? Where do you buy your clocks? They’re so fascinating. That’s I want to get one from my wall. Yeah, that clock would look great. My kitchen. Um, but like literally there’s nothing that we can’t want up in [inaudible]. That’s it. Like all of our birthday parties for the rest of our lives. Like literally that was it. Oh yeah. How can you top that dude? I think only one that ever even would and just cause there were no celebrity appearances, but what even come close would be our joint 40th where the German American club and the, the giant fat head of your head was floating around all night and was hands down the, the prop that we had wrestlers show up, the Jaeger shot girls were behind the bar and that’s still the party that people ask me when we’re doing that again, see the problem mad those days. That’s when my Christmas party in those days where I was stupid and every time I’d see somebody I acted like my dad and my uncles and you’d do a shot like, Hey Randy, good to see ya. Let’s do a shot, have a good time. The problem is 20 people would show up and I’m doing 20 shots and they’ve only had one cause he was bugs bunny one for you. One for me. Two for you. One, two for me. Three of you. One, two, three. For me they’d be like a pile of money on tables that, guess what I’m going to, is that, is that the goblet? Ah, now he’s definitely, so like I would make from the beginning. That’s no good memories. Nothing beats the story. When you guys got the package and you’re like, who the hell shipped something to the podcast? Who is awesome parties going on? This party is going on. I’ve done 20 shots, I’m passed out like 10 15 people got there like nine 30 so like this isn’t happening. So like Dave got this, it’s like when fat was a first thing and he got like my fricking big ugly mug on a fat head. So like everyone like carried on the night, like as if it was, the party was still going on with my pick my fat head. We got in everybody’s picture. So there’s, there’s literally like 60 pictures of people. Oh dude. And you’ve got like the hottest girls in the skimpiest outfits with Bob’s big giant fat hat. I mean it was a good four feet tall, three feet wide. I want to say it, but it was huge. It was holding various [inaudible] but then the worst part is like Rob Bubba who uh, you know, yeah, he, he thought it was the funniest thing he’s ever seen in his life. So he like just watching him like giggling with that thing like yeah, dude. Knowing how happy that made him is still one of the best things ever. So, I guess just to shift gears a little bit. So Ming like I know you are probably the only person that I know that has ha that is likely having a harder time with social distancing than I am. Cause you’re, I mean you’re dude, you’re at every con, you’re at every event, you are everywhere. How are you holding up man? Like I really, really feel that he is your latte game strong? I guess that’s what we want to know. Yeah. How well have you gotten making your own espressos and lattes? Surprisingly, I’m doing all right. Everyone’s like, Oh man, are you okay? Like you must be going nuts. And um, it’s uh, I mean before all the comics, before all the traveling, I, this is me sitting at a computer for like, you know, 20 hours a day and, and doing shit. So it does take me back to that. Um, you know, am I, am I going a little nuts? Yeah. I, you know, I had trips to Vegas. Here’s the city last month. This month was like Philly and st Louis and next month was going to be real busy. It was going to be like Northern Canada, um, LA Houston, and you know, it’s all gone. And you know, it sucks, but it’s, it’s everybody. Well, and, and you’ll like, you’ll appreciate this cause you were there with us. Larry, the bartender from a temple bar called me last week just to, uh, just to check up on me and make sure that I was okay to picture your bar and you’re like, all right, I’m good, Larry. I’m, I’m doing all right man. I love that guy. And I, yeah. And so, I mean, it’s, it’s things, but, um, it’s, it’s not bad sitting here for a little bit, taking a breath and, um, and you know, we, we have this, we have, uh, you know, I, I, I’ve been streaming like almost every night. It’s, it’s, that’s definitely keeping me sane. I was gonna say, and you too, and you’ve taken a dive into a couple of, like, the virtual cons that are going on and that kind of stuff I’ve seen, you know, you’ve done a couple of panels and that kind of thing. Yeah. And I, I didn’t think that would work. A lot of people were like, well, we’ll just move them online. I’m like, well how the hell is that going to work? You know, the con imparting afterwards and meeting people and, and all that. But um, uh, yeah, you know when, when times get desperate and you figure it out. So yeah, I just did one this weekend. Go home con. Yup. It was put together in less than two weeks. Uh, but it, it went off. It went off really well. They somehow got a partnership with Twitch, so you know, all the streaming stuff was pretty rock solid. Um, everybody called their friends in all their celebrity friends and so they got a lot of, um, good celebrities. So the way they made money was a, if you wanted to watch the panel stream, it was five bucks a person on Twitch or if you had a Twitch prime account, it was free. So, and then the talent, the celebrities were booking five minute one-on-one zoom sessions where people for, I think it was 50 bucks for five minutes. That’s kind of cool. Yeah. If you want a 10 minutes, you can add on another $50 and I’m dancing. I was like, yeah, like I, I imagine a couple of those might’ve gotten creepy and needed to get shut down law for five minutes. Oh, I know. I saw it as, Hey, it’s it going to take longer than men. I mean, are there some guys, you know what business is probably doing well right now? The a they’ll leave a voicemail or to leave a video greeting cameo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like you know, Mark got us that thing for our grand master flash, uh, where you can like make them say whatever. It’s like, I, you know, cause I saw it being on Facebook for like Kevin Nealon to give you like to that the idiot, the, the business partner guy that came in at the end, a tiger King is on there. They’re all on there. The whole cast is on God licensing jail. Hey, Bob, uh, Patrick chimed in on the chat. He a pet Mendez. He wants to know, uh, w where’s the fat head now? So I remember it got used as a fans bring the weapon match weapon. So that was the best. It wound up in there and wound up in a wrestling ring with Sabu. Sabu got hit over the head with it. I believe there’s a speck of blood on it. It is in the Bay. It’s right now. It’s in the basement. Okay. That’s sad. But he’s a nice guy. But, uh, that’s my cameo profile right there on the low low price of 2020, 99. You can, uh, book a video message from [inaudible]. Nice. So I, I was, I think it was a con or something and they’re like, Hey, you want to jump on this? I’m like, yeah, sure. Why not? Like, no one’s gonna want me like fricking Brett farm’s on there. And, uh, you know how you could get a, um, get Debbie Gibson to sing happy birthday eating for 200 bucks. I’m like, no one’s gonna want me once. Every so often I’ll get one. And, um, I think I did one, they were going to play it out their wedding. I saw you posted about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did a whole bunch of birthday ones and uh, yeah, the people have been getting them. They’re like, Oh my God, that was awesome. Like thank you so much and not your 20 bucks, you know, it’s not that bad. So, so, uh, yeah, it’s, it’s, I did it as a joke though. I’m like, no one’s gonna want this. Right. And then, you know, Hey, desperate, Augie shot us a note. He wants to know how much to get you two guys to leave his voicemail message. Hi, 22. Great. We’re doing anything for 40 bucks right now. Have Augie send a Ming his little Malort bottles. We’ll do it for, we’ll work something out aiming. So how many bars does, uh, does it say a Mike [inaudible] eats ass? Probably too many. There’s a, I think Selena’s um, a whiskey in the jar for sure. Did you write it? Whiskey? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. No, it’s there. I’ve, yeah. Spreading my legend far and wide. What’s the karaoke bar in Hamtramck that Lauren worked, worked at that plays [inaudible] took it down cause she doesn’t want anybody knowing. So Lauren grabbed my Sharpie, she’s like, Oh, I gotta go write this. And so it’s in the ladies room over there. Here’s the problem, man. When you write it in a men’s room, you’re giving those guys, you go in there false hope. I did above the glory. I’m like, I’m just saying Randy walks in there and make certain assumptions. Pretty sure a drunk Lee wrote it down over at um, over at Lafayette Coney Island too, whenever as I was throwing up in the bathroom. Oh Jesus. You know, I’m guessing next time might give you the needs to be a tee shirt. I think we’d have to figure something out like, or a bumper sticker or, or something. Um, uh, you know, getting, you know, making that a thing. I think there should be a thing. Why not next time I’m in Detroit in ducks, right. We’ll, we’ll do that. So hang on. I guess that’s a, that’s a good question. I mean, I guess what’s, you know, Ming Mike, what’s, what’s your take on the other side of all of this? Like, are our cons gonna be the same or, you know, and how long is it going to, you know, like, you know, motor city just canceled and that’s, you know, that’s, that’s 70 K people there on a Saturday, you know, get, yeah, that’s from, from what I understand. Yes. They get it. Cause they haven’t announced it. They haven’t, they didn’t announce they were working on it. It just, it’s, it’s off for now. Um, you know, then you’ve got, you know, San Diego, New York city coming up. I mean the art winner, when are you going to get 200,000 odd people comfortable being in a big room. And then the flip side of that, when are you going to get these celebrities comfortable being jammed into a crowded 70,000, a hundred, 200,000 shaking hands with everybody. I must be going to be a while. I mean, this is all dependent. They find some kind of vaccine. Then I think we’ll be, you know, of course it will be a little more comfortable, but if they, you know, if it’s like this right now, it could be a while. I, I hate to say, I don’t know if they’re going to be cons for the rest of the year. I got concert, I got two concerts in July. Uh, KMF DM in ministry and craft work and I don’t know if I’ll be able to go, don’t know if you’re gonna get your money back, ticket master and be like, Nope, you’re screwed. So the, so Ticketmaster’s cause he had, this was actually one of the topics we’re going to yak through tonight, is Ticketmaster changed their policies where it used to say if it was postponed, canceled yet ADA outta there, you know, whatever, you get a refund now it only, they’ll only refund if it’s canceled. Well, you look at all these, you know, concerts that are going on, they’ve know, they know it’s just postponed until the literally a later date. So whether or not you can make that later date, you’re not getting your money back from Ticketmaster, but it’s a thing. Yeah. That’s all the cons. Yeah. I don’t, I mean what would make anybody comfortable enough to go to a, an event with a whole bunch of people. I don’t know if they find it vaccine. Sure. If they probably saw every taste today it’s a door. It’s like a copper thing to put on your key chain. It looks like this. Okay. It’s like the pull the door, pull the door knob down and like are, and then there’s a rubber like pen thing like per touch pad or the little metal. The little paper clip on the lighter though. That’s the other one I’ve seen. Oh yeah, yeah. Like you know, because like you, I’m just looking at like when I put a word for thought. That’s right. My job, when I was a kid, I was the remote control. Your kid pushed the elevator buttons. Elevator button. Open that door for me and don’t touch me until you watch that. Are you guys getting a, I don’t know if if cons are going to be cons anyway. It’s, it’s a weird thing what we’re going to see on the other side. Well cause I’ve seen Cod crud. God crud was a thing. Oh already was for sure. Oh yeah. For years. For as long as we’ve been going 15 years getting sick that day or two after it was just a given. But now it’s like I was talking to, I was talking to Travis at a source point was in a, uh, Gary, the guy from Monroe Comic-Con did a chat with rhino, you know, Carrie, uh, with rhino and uh, and Travis was one of the guys that was in there and he, and he said, you know, this has taught them a lot that, you know, they put weight, you know, as a publishing company, they put way too much dependency, um, on cons for sales and all that kind of stuff. And it really kind of screwed them. And so as they’re shifting and pulling back into, you know, the online market for direct sales and that kind of stuff, now it’s making, you know, they’re kind of looking at stuff like we do when we go to a con where it’s more about marketing and advertising. So you know, you do, you, you don’t need eight booths as a publisher anymore. You need one. You know, cause you’re not gonna, you’re not worried about direct sales, you just pay more getting the word out and that kind of stuff. So I wonder how that’s going to, what that ripple effect means to cons, their budgets, their spacing, everything else. It’s like I said, it’s, it’s gonna be interesting to see how this comes out. Not just cons. David. I think that the comic book industry, we put all of our eggs in the diamond. Yup. So, and there is literally no new stand anymore. I mean, you know, our, our cheese at Barnes and n
