"You are worfress, Arec Balwin!"-Kim Jong-il

Yeah, don't make fun of me, dude. We've got fucking six cats. Since we moved to Georgia, we had an extra room. So what did my wife do? She goes, you know what I think we should do since you're not working right now? We should start fostering kittens. Oh, God. God damn it. Don't get me wrong, I love cats. I love, I fucking see a cat on the side of the road. I see what it's about, see if I'm gonna rescue it or not. And usually I do, and I'm a fucking crazy cat lady now. Do you get paid for fostering them? No, I'm just trying to do some good deeds, man. I'm just trying to, you know, put one in so the Lord will give me a few back. No, that's a horrible way to look at it. I would have to put a lot in. Next night, I'm gonna get my nipple. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Mike and Chris here, childhood friends. We're gonna talk about why Alec Baldwin sucks. Yes. It's really shitty what happened to him. Like, no actor wants that. You know, I work in the film and TV industry, and I fucking use guns all the time as a stuntman. And, you know, literally every time you're handed a gun, you know, the armor is the one doing it. And they show you the mag. They say, you know, here's your half loads, quarter loads, stick it in, and they hand it to you. They usually, though, once I cock it, too, so once it's in your hand, it's ready to go, unless the scene calls for you to, like, pull it back and stuff, you know? Could that mag have, like, you know, a fucking real live round in it at the bottom? That's the only shitty thing about Alec Baldwin's case is that I'm like, damn, I feel for him. That sucks. But then again, it was a Western. I'm not sure if he knew they were taking it out and shooting it in between, you know, days off and shit. But, man, it's shitty for him. You know, now he's charged with, what is it, manslaughter? And involuntary. Involuntary manslaughter. So we can pretty much assess that he's not gonna do any time. Right. So. So I'm gonna give you my take on it, just from being somebody who, I'm not in the film industry, to clarify that. I actually fucking hate it. I like movies and shit. I just, I don't like the inner workings, and I know that, like. I feel the same way, trust me. Those are gonna be conversations for another day, another episode. So, from somebody who's been around guns my entire life, my dad was ex-military, as was your father, my perspective from outside of the film industry, okay, this is how, just from safety and owning firearms now, the first thing you learn is, safety's always on, fingers off the trigger, and the barrel is always pointed downrange, right? Until you're ready to fire. Secondly, I guess this does, I guess, tie in more to the film portion of it. Live rounds, in my opinion, should never be on set. Unless you're doing a documentary, or a show to where you are doing live firing to show weapons, or whatever, on something for the History Channel. To bring live, as a master armorer, you should know where all your stuff is all the time, and you're supposed to be showing, from what I've read, you're supposed to be showing, like, the assistant director, and other people, like, hey, it's hot with a blank, or it's cold, right? So, for me, the blame starts at the very top, because I heard she had given a loaded weapon to an 11-year-old at one point, okay? And she had two other instances like this in her career, where there was, somebody didn't get killed, but there was misfires, or something happened when there ended up being live bullets. And she was 25. No offense, but you're not even allowed to own a firearm, a pistol, until you're 21. So, at most, unless she grew up with them, like, you know, I did, I've been around them, she doesn't have the knowledge to be a master armorer, and whoever hired her is at fault, whoever didn't do due diligence, in terms of safety with lock boxes, and all that shit, is at fault, and whoever allowed her, or knew that there was live rounds on that set. In my opinion, everybody that was on set that day, except for the poor girl that got shot, and anybody who else maybe didn't have, but, like, the actors, everybody should have fucking had, they should all have some level of responsibility in this, because there are probably three or four different steps that would have had to have been taken, just from my knowledge of showing people that there's nothing chambered, here's this, here's this, boom, you give it to the actor, and that way, that could have prevented her getting shot, because Alec Baldwin, again, this goes back to just gun safety, not in the industry, so to speak. Another thing that you learn is, if somebody hands you a gun, I could be sitting right next to you, in person, and you could show me the gun and say, nothing's chambered, click, click, click, click, click, nothing's coming out, boom, it's empty. If I take that gun from you, I'm still doing the same thing over, just to double-check to make sure. Yeah. Do I feel bad for him? Yes. Is he naive in thinking that he could trust them to do their job, that the gun is not hot? Yeah, probably, but this isn't the first time that Alec Baldwin has been in a movie where he's handled a gun. So, he's been down this road before. He knows how this works. He's been in the film industry for, what, 35 years? 30 years, 40 years, something like that? He knows how this works. All these people know how this works. There never should have been live rounds on set. They shouldn't have been allowed to fucking target practice. I get it, you're in the middle of the fucking desert, where they're at, filming this. That's a fucking dangerous commodity, and now because you did that and you fucked up, now someone lost their life. To go one step further, the reason why I do, I blame everybody involved, and everybody, from the top, this is the fucking studio, everybody who had a hand in hiring her, all the way down, because they were quoted as saying that she was too green, and she never should have been fucking hired for the position. And I'll give you my example. I'm watching the Netflix Dahmer series right now with my wife, okay? And if it is true to course, and everything that's written in here happened the way it did, I'm on episode two, and there's already three times he could have been arrested, they could have caught him. But he slipped through the cracks, because cops were like, oh, he's gay, like they didn't really want to go in the house, because they were like weirded out. The fucking body was laying on the floor. If they would have done their investigation a little better, they would have realized that kid was 14, and he drilled his fucking head, basically gave him a lobotomy, like. That was bad. It's just, it's passing the buck, and not doing your job. It's accountability, it all comes down to accountability. Very much so, man. And Alec Baldwin, from what I've been seeing, is not taking the accountability. Shocker. I know, it's like, well, first off, we all know he's a fucking douche nut, you know? He's very, he's always, I'm not sure if you ever follow his Instagram. I don't follow it. I think he actually disconnected it, but he posts really, really far left shit. And I'm, you know, he doesn't care about anybody else except, you know, people who agree with him. Yeah, I understand where he's coming from, to where, like, what he's saying is, I was given the gun, I was told it was cold. He's like, I'm an actor, pretty much saying, I'm an actor, I'm a monkey, I just do what I'm told. That part I get, but then, as a producer, he's a producer now, so it's like, he should have taken way more precaution to, hey, you know, why is the first AD giving me this gun? And here's the thing, on a film set, it's very hectic, especially on a low-budget film set, where it's like, time is your enemy. So time is like, all right, we gotta get this shot, we gotta go, we gotta go. And that's, when there's stunts involved, that usually is what always happens, is like, you're rushing stunts. And as stunt people, we're always like, stop rushing stunts. This is when fucking accidents happen, you know what I mean? So, and that's what they were doing. You know, they had a shot where a gun is involved, whether it was not gonna fire, or it was, I think they had dummy rounds in it, and they just needed a shot of him, pointing it towards camera. And I think what had happened was that he probably cocked it back too far, and he probably just let go of the hammer. So, and I'm guessing that's what did it. So, I mean, yeah, he did make the weapon fire, whether it was like, that expression, guns go off by accident. They do, you know what I mean? So it's just shitty that that's how it happened. But the fact, now that he's not taking any accountability, he's pretty much trying to blame other people, and that's where the charges come in, if it goes that far. Something tells me it's not. I think the first AD. I don't think so either. So the first AD who gave him the weapon, he took a plea deal. I'm not sure what the deal was, I haven't looked it up, but he's taking a plea deal. The armorer, you know. He's nuts. And I think. He's nuts, yeah. I'm not. He looks like somebody I'd trust with a weapon. I, right? Even immediately. And I guess there was an incident with Nicolas Cage on another movie. That was like one of the first ones, I think, that we had heard where she had some issues. She's someone who I would not expect to be handling weapons on a TV show. Granted, her dad is a world-famous armorer as well. Well, then he should be ashamed of himself. Yeah, exactly. So I think that. I think they're both gonna get slapped with something, because what she's gonna do is she's gonna say, hey, you know, it was on my cart. That's your cart, though, you dumbass. Like, you are in charge of everything on your cart. If you say, hey, the crew member went out and shot it with live rounds, and then he put it back, the first thing you do is look at what's in your fucking, your chamber. I just can't. God, there was just so much negligence, you know. It just sucks, because. Well, so let me ask you this. Yeah. Because obviously you, you know. You've been through this, having handled weapons on set, so you can speak more to the experience of this. If that is the chain of events that happened, another crew member took the gun out, was doing some target practice, fucking dumbass didn't think about it, put it back on her cart with live rounds in it, whatever. Okay? Still, when she picked up that gun, it's a revolver. You can't use the blanks with the crimped top, because they're in a revolver cylinder, and you have to see the projectile. So they have to use those dummy ones that have the BBs in it, you know what I mean? So you take them out and you shake it, and if you hear the BB, but you have to do that with each one to the AD or whoever. Somebody obviously didn't do that, because if there was a live round in there, she was naive, thinking, oh, whatever, it's fucking dummy rounds. Yeah. I think that's where the part for me really comes in, that's hard to believe, is that she would just assume, even if she locked it away the night, you're talking about life and death here, like I get fucking fired up thinking about this. If she personally checked it and it was empty, and she fucking locked it away that night, and she's the only one that has a key, and she left and came back the next morning and unlocked it, and the gun was still empty, you should still go through your procedure just to make sure, because there could be any projectile in there. There could be a piece of metal from the fucking lockbox, there could be a piece of fucking anything, and if that comes out there at that fucking speed, it can still hurt somebody. Which I think is how Brennan Lee died. Yeah, because that wasn't an actual bullet, right? No. That was just some sort of- Yeah, that was- A shrapnel. Something, yeah, it was shrapnel inside the barrel, I believe, which goes to show you how fucking dangerous it can be, you know what I mean? But yeah, that's the things that we're talking about, is that even that shit didn't get checked, you know what I mean? And it's just- Failed her job, plain and simple. Oh, big time, big time. And that sucked, because at that age, you were supposed to be learning, you know what I mean? So, she can't really use the whole, my dad's in armor, and he sucks. Holy shit, you know what I mean? Yeah. So, yeah, but I think that- No, that's part of a union, right? Because you're part of a union as a stunt performer, correct? Yes, and props is also part of a union, but I think because the show was so low budget, I think they went non-union with some things, and... Okay. So, I'm wondering if what the experiential hierarchy is there to where they say, okay, the contractor I work for, all of our field guys are union, okay? And when you come in, you start off as an apprentice, and you're working with a journeyman for four or five years until you're a journeyman, and you can take over a crew, and there has to be years of experience there. Yeah. When somebody of her age and her experience goes on set, why isn't there somebody above her? Because usually what happens on a show like this, I'm sure they weren't paying union rates, I'm sure they were paying whatever the base rate was that they could pay people, whether they were union or non-union, that they probably reached out to professional armors, and they were like, that's a shit rate, I'm not working that, you know? So, here, call this guy. And so they probably called Hannah Gutierrez, whatever her name is, they probably called her dad, and they were probably like, well, I'm not available for that rate, that's probably what he's thinking. But my daughter, she's brand new, she doesn't have a fucking mortgage to pay, you know what I mean? Right. She'll work for 200 bucks a day. You know, they're just like, oh yeah, let's just pay this person. And that's where it needs to stop, because if you're gonna pay for that kind of quality, you're gonna get what you got on the set of rust. Okay, so answer, riddle me this. You're still in the industry, you're active. I do remember or recall a potential, was it last year or the year before? Maybe it was last year, like right after this came out, I think it was The Rock or somebody had said that there was not gonna be any more real guns on any movies that he's doing. It would all be like rubber guns, and it was gonna be CGI for the effects or whatever. Does something like that end up happening? And how does what happens here, especially after this trial or if they sell or whatever, and there's more discovery that's gonna come out during that, so there's gonna be more evidence and probably what we're hearing now, how does this change props and weapons in particular, specifically moving forward? Yeah, they'll probably still use live rounds on sets. When that first came out, I think that was a bunch of grandstanding where they were just like, we're gonna be the change and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then all of a sudden, a month goes by and they forget about it and just like, oh yeah, we really wanna use a lot of rounds on this. That's pretty much Hollywood, really. That's the hypocritical notion of we're gonna do better. And then all of a sudden, it's like when COVID came out. They were all just like, we're gonna work 10 hours a day now instead of 14 hours a day. And then six months goes by and they're working fucking 14 hour days. You know what I mean? It's just all a bunch of grandstanding, it's stupid. But in this case, some companies might, it depends on the producers, they might be like, no, we're gonna use airsoft guns now. You still need to have an armorer on set for that. So the prop people will call an armorer. I don't think regular armorers who work a certain show, like say the TV show SWAT has their main armorer. If SWAT is only gonna use airsoft guns now, that armorer is not gonna be out of business or anything like that. He's not gonna lose a job. He's still gonna come in. He's gonna be in charge of like, okay, here's your airsoft pistol that looks just like a Beretta 9mm, you know? So. Like the stuff that we used to play with as kids. Oh yeah, right? Dude. That nowadays, if you get caught without playing like that, the cops will shoot you because they don't know if it's real or fake. Oh yeah, exactly. Especially if, even if it has an orange tip, you know, they'll still shoot you, you know? It has an orange tip though. Right. Sorry, we saw more of the black part of the gun than the orange tip, you know? Right. All I saw was gun. Yeah, exactly. Dude, there's like airsoft like battles now. Have you heard of this? Yes. So my sister's husband. It's been a thing for 10 years now. Yeah, my sister's husband like, it's like paintball. Like he gets, he gets like, he's in a ghillie suit, he's got a mask, protective gear, and they go out and they have these like day-long battles in these like, usually it's somebody who has some property. Yeah. Like Ben Smith. And he'll get the buddies together and they'll build these little houses. Like a speedball. Paintball course. And these guys spend all fucking day out there. And they'll just shoot the fuck out of each other with these little BBs. Wow. It's the little yellow ones, right? Or they, I mean, they have more, they have different ones now maybe. But yeah, that's crazy. Could you imagine if we had fully automatic BB guns when we were fucking 12 years old? I would be, I'd probably be in Lee County Saucade still. Oh yeah. I know, I know, I know, I know, I know a few of us played paintball and shit. I'm not sure if you ever came over to my house when we played paintball and stuff, but we had a blast. But paintball got, we always played back by us. Yeah. Oh yeah. Remember Billy would always freeze his paintballs too and he'd shoot people. Oh, what a fucker. And almost caused a fight. Like he'd freeze them. Dude, you'd get like welts like this big. It's like, like an elephant kicked you. Yeah, I remember, I remember Billy's dad and Chris Stone's dad came out and played and they just, just loved lighting us up. They were like, hey, are you hit? Are you hit? Yeah. Like fuck, leave me alone, you 40 year old bastard. Yeah, dude. Yeah, those guys had way too much fun with that shit. Chris Stone's dad, I was actually surprised when Doan told me that his dad was gonna go play because have you ever, well, obviously, yeah, you met his dad, like his dad's kind of a, I just, he just seemed like he was too good for that. Like he wasn't gonna go out there and get dirty. You know what I mean? It's like, dude, hey, relax. Billy's dad, yeah, I can imagine. Yeah, but Chris Stone's dad had this like, I'm gonna kick everyone's ass. You know what I mean? Like, hey, dude, relax. You're a fucking 40 and we're 12, you know? Right, right. Like you're trying to live vicariously through playing paintball and like shooting little kids. Like what the fuck is wrong with you, man? Bonding with my son, shut up. Yeah. Get the hit, get the hit. I know, because Billy, Billy and them were like, dude, you gotta get your dad out there. I was like, my dad's not going out there, man. I'm like, my dad wants to shoot real guns. My dad's not playing paintball. Like, he's not gonna do that shit. Like, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, no, your dad, your dad probably saw some shit in the war anyway, so he's probably just like, no, I don't need that shit coming back to me, you know? Right, yeah, I end up having fucking flashbacks and I have all of his shit. Yeah, he was in there 68, 69 and 70, I think. Dude, all I know is that I was scared of your dad. I know. But if something bad, dude, I remember when fucking Josh Hopps fucking peeled out in your front yard and caused fucking tracks. He came out and he was like, who the fuck did that? Who the fuck did that? And someone was there that was like, oh, I didn't see anything. And he was just like, oh yeah, you didn't see anything, huh? He was like, oh, this motherfucker, shit, dude. He knows what's up. My dad had a real fucked up childhood, growing up poor. And then he went to Vietnam just to escape being fucking poor growing up in the bad part of New Jersey. That's why he got away. So, yeah, I know Chris Clark always tells me the same thing. He's like, god damn, he's like, your dad, you had called your house, like, oh, is Mike there? And you're like, nah, he ain't home, don't call me. And I'm like, really? I don't remember him ever fucking, you know what I mean? He was just very, what's the term? I mean, he was hard. He was just a hard motherfucker, you know what I mean? He had probably seen some shit. And so, you know, what do you want to talk to Junior for? You know what I mean? Yeah, what's your agenda? Yeah, yeah. No, I have all his stuff upstairs from the war. I have his old duffel bag, his boots, his backpack. My dad's stuff, man, I love it. So cool. All his medals. I have his graduation book from Fort Dix when he graduated bootcamp. Oh, shit. I mean, all kinds of shit, man. Like, all kinds of shit he brought back. I got two or three, like, albums of pictures that he took while he was over there. And yeah, there's. Nice. I know he told me when I was getting older, when he was like, you know, you'll get all this stuff one day, he was like, do me a favor. He's like, don't show it to your sister. He's like, and he started showing me little pictures here and there. And I'm like, holy fuck, I'm like, you got these back across into the, like, you probably shouldn't have some of this shit. Dude, yeah. Like, these pictures of some Viet Cong burned up in a jeep. No way. And they came in and fucking napalmed him with a flame, yeah, dude. I got some, like, I don't even, I usually, I don't really even open it. Wow. Like, I look at it every once in a while. Right. And my wife, she was like, well, I want to look at them with you. I was like, no, no, you don't. No, you don't. Trust me, you do not. God, that's insane. Oh, man. I can't imagine. My dad was only in the Air Force, so, you know, he didn't see a whole lot of, like, combat or anything. But also, he was stationed in Thailand, like, during Vietnam. But, I mean, he did go to Vietnam, you know, on some fly missions here and there to, you know, either pick up some shit or whatever. But, yeah, I can't imagine, like, seeing, like, you know, fucking, seeing the shit your dad saw. Yeah, he would wake up a lot in the middle of the night yelling. And, like, he would have bad dreams and nightmares and flashbacks and shit like that. And see, like, when he went in, he went in right smack dab in the middle of the Tet Offensive. Oh, for sure. And, you know, the Tet Offensive is something that you always hear about, like everybody refers to. Like, it was a pretty bad scenario, from what I understand. I'll have to do some more digging on it. I know I've heard of it. I know he explained to me what it was, but I didn't, I've never really, like, I don't remember, really. I never really dug into it in terms of history because, like, I always hear stories from my dad and I know how bad it was. So, like, I never really read up on it and tried to learn more about it because him and his buddies, I remember they'd get together, you know, a couple of the vets down in Fort Myers and they'd always be like, man, we never should have fucking been there. That wasn't our fight. Yeah. The Tet Offensive was a major escalation in one of the largest military campaigns of the Vietnam War. It was launched by forces of the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese People's Army of Vietnam against the forces of the South Vietnamese Army of the United States Air Force and their allies. It was a campaign of surprise attacks against military and civilian command and control centers throughout South Vietnam. The name is the truncated version of the Lunar New Year Festival name in Vietnamese. I remember my dad saying, like, he went through boot camp, went out to, was it San Diego, or he was in California for like a night or two and then was on a plane and his ass was like, boom. Within no time, they were just sending guys left and right, you know. Damn. And he was in a tank, so whatever his little unit was, and that's when he got blown up. Did you ever see his scar that he had? No. He had that big scar. No way. He had that big scar from like the top of his, back here on your lap, all the way down, and it went underneath. Shit, maybe I did, but I never really paid attention to it, yeah. Yeah, it was about, I don't know, about as wide as a dime, and it was a nasty scar. That's when they stitched him back up because his arm was hanging off. Oh my God. He, by like a thread. And so, he remembers, like he said, he remembered it happening, and then he remembers just fading out, and then he woke up in, I think it was, he woke up in Germany, and he thought he was dead, like he was in heaven or whatever, but he woke up in Germany. Wow. Was up for, I don't know, a day or two, and then he woke up in Texas at whatever, was that Walter, or no wait, what's the, is it Walter Reed? What's the hospital down in Texas? I think that's where he ended up re, well yeah, it's one of them. It's either, it's either, maybe it was in Texas, and now he's passed away. I can't ask him. My uncle might know though. I'd have to ask my uncle, but anyways, he woke up here, and he rehabbed here and everything, and then he ended up getting his honorable discharge, and medically essentially, because he couldn't, his arm was in a sling like this for a while, and he wasn't able to move it. Nerves, everything was just severed. And later on in life, he ended up having like, I think two replacements. He ended up having like a steel rod, and then he ended up having like an artificial joint for the shoulder because it just, like he was in so much pain, it just wasn't gonna work anymore. You know, you get that injury, and you go through that surgery now, you're probably okay. Back in 1970, chances are, I mean that's, you're lucky if they even like, stitch anything back together. I know that was the, we can't do anything for you. We're gonna cut the rest of it off. Yeah, we're just gonna put you out of your misery. Is that cool, you know? Oh God. But I guess that was the only benefit to getting a wound like that, is that you got the fuck out of Vietnam. Yeah. Like, the Viet Cong was supplying the US troops with fucking, there was heroin, there was all kinds of shit, dude. Like, most of the time, these dudes were out there high as fuck trying to fight. Like, it was a bad situation. It was a really bad situation. Yeah, yeah. Remember Platoon? What a fucking movie to, you know, showcase what the Vietnam War was like for some of these guys, man. I remember, it was fucking bullshit. Yeah. God, and Kevin Dillon, I think, was the other, was one of the guys who was like a really fucked up one. He like, just walked into this village and like, shot a pig with his fucking shotgun. You're just like, Jesus, man. Like, can you just imagine like, what's going through these fucking people's minds to make them go crazy like this? War, oh yeah, war is crazy. Yeah, and I think, you know, my dad said that when guys got there, you already had some guys that, you know, by the time they had gotten there, some of these guys were already fucked up in the head as it was. Oh yeah. So now you throw them into a war zone, because again, look at this fucking mid-late 60s, right? Early 70s, like, you know, was bipolar a thing? Was manic depression a thing? Like, were these things discovered? Did we know how to treat them? Did we know that they even existed? Did we know what ADHD was? Like, I don't think any of that was a thing then. So some guys were going over there already fucked up. Yeah. Not being medicated, and then you throw them into a war, and they see this shit, and they just, boom, that's it. And there probably is no turning that off. No, not at all. Like, there's no amount of therapy or medication that's going to, that's gonna reverse course. And what's worse is that they come back to the US, and they're treated like shit by these fucking hippies. They're just so in their own bubble. We're kind of dealing with it now, right? Yeah, I guess so, yeah. Antifa and the New Age liberal movement is essentially just a resurgence of the hippie movement. Oh, yeah. Did you, I mean, that's the way it seems. Did you hear what just happened in Atlanta? Like, just a couple days ago with the protests that were happening with this new facility that was being constructed for police? No. Oh, dude. Here we go. One person was killed, and a GBI trooper was injured Wednesday as officials cleared out the site of the controversial proposed law enforcement training center site in DeKalb County on Key Road. A multi-agency operation to clear out the area of the future facility was conducted Wednesday morning around 9 a.m. Law enforcement located a man in the tent inside the woods who did not comply with verbal commands and shot at a GSP trooper, the GBI said in the news release. So, GBI director Mike Register said that the man opened fire without warning. So, what are the cops gonna do? They're gonna fire back. They killed a guy, and then all of a sudden, there's protests over the guy getting killed by the police when he shot a police first. And I'm just like, what's your mentality here? It really baffles me to this day that there's people this fucking stupid. So, like, there's a lot of them. Yeah, it's really bad. That's what's even worse. Yeah, but then. Yeah, I didn't hear about that. Yeah, it just happened. I think it was like either yesterday or two days ago. But, yeah, their whole thing was, defend the Atlanta forest, you know. Those little protesters, yeah. And I think it came back to them being hippie type people or Antifa, whatever you wanna call them. They were like, expect a night of rage, you know, to honor their fallen comrade. That's what they're quoted as saying. And so, they go there to protest, and they all got arrested. Expect a night of rage. That's a threat to me. I'm listening to that. That's a threat. That's a terroristic threat. And you will be met with violent force. How else do you take, like, there is literally no other way. That's like what you see in the movies when the Joker sends a fucking warning to Gotham City, right, like, oh, there will be, you know, fire and brimstone, and I'm gonna do this and that. You're taking that as a fucking threat. You're gonna take it serious, right? Like, you're gonna call, well, you can call him Batman at that point, but like, that's the best part. It's like, first of all, none of these people are gonna be fucking raging on anybody. No. Come on. Like, you smack them one good time, and they'd probably fucking curl up and cry. It's just, it's comedy at that point. The world is a theater, my friend. It really is, dude. It really is. It's a stage. The world is a stage, and this whole thing is theater. The very existence of us in life is, every day is like an episode, right? Like, you do different shit, and you see shit, and you're like, that's not right. That's not true. It's one big reality show. Tony Dungy is getting torn apart. I don't know if you saw this. You know who Tony Dungy is? I don't. Tony Dungy was head football coach of the Buccaneers back in the 90s, early 2000s. Well, I take it back. He got fired right before we won the Super Bowl in 2003 for the O2 season. Before Gruden. That was John Gruden's first year. Gruden. Yep, and then he went to the Colts, and he won a Super Bowl with Peyton Manning. Tony Dungy did. And then, you know, he's retired, and now he does analysis and commentating and stuff. He made a remark about kitty litter boxes in bathrooms because there were kids who identify as cats, okay? And then all these assholes, these liberals would come out in the bathroom going, that's not true, that's not true. We don't have an audience, but I will say to our audience members, it is absolutely true, because there are two schools here, one of which my wife's best friend teaches at, that are allowing it, and people are losing their fucking minds. They don't even speak, Chris, in class, and they're allowed to not speak. They motion, they write things down. They don't have to participate verbally because they identify as a goddamn cat. Oh my God, are you serious? And the schools are allowing this. And they said on this report with Dungy, this Andrew Holleran or whatever, this asshole, he's a sports writer, and they put on there, oh, it's a proven false claim. No, asshole, it's not. I won't do it on here, because I'm not going to mention names, but I can, off air, I will send you the fucking schools that are doing it and how much flack they're taking. And I've seen it on the news around here and people talking about it. It is happening. It's fucking ridiculous because they're allowing them to just identify as anything, and then they're allowing them to fucking participate. So they don't have the school to dress like? Exactly, yeah. So they can participate and they do work and shit, but they don't have to sit in their chairs and they're allowed to go to the bathroom in fucking litter boxes installed into the school's bathroom. Wow. That is a fucking real thing. It's happening. And these people are trying to say that it's not, and they're trying to bash him. Like, he's a fucking crazy one. Dude, our dads would be, I mean, they're probably rolling in their graves now just because of what's going on, but if they were alive when all this was going on, like, holy shit, man. My dad probably wouldn't even have- That's fucking nuts, man. Yeah, at his cabin, he didn't have much anyway, but that's the reason why he escaped to Arkansas and the fucking Ozarks so he didn't have to look at what was going on in the world anymore. Yeah. Dude, that's crazy. Some of this shit you just can't make up. Like, people are really this fucking stupid. People are really this, like, you can't make this shit up. No, not at all. I wanted to go back to Arik Bowen. Arik Bowen. Arik Bowen. Oh, yeah. Matt Damon. Matt Damon. The film Actors Guild. Oh, real quick. I guess I just wanted to touch on, and we can get deeper into this next time, but as far as the entertainment industry, and the reason I bring this up is because I loved Night Court as a kid. Okay, I remember watching it. I fucking loved it, right? I haven't seen the new one yet. I haven't either. But, like, it's not really a reboot. It's more of just, like, an extension because now it's his daughter taking over. You know, so it's got the same name. So, but, like, why, now they're talking about rebooting, and they've been doing this for years. They're talking about rebooting Indiana Jones and all this shit. At what point don't you just, like, where are the original ideas inside of Hollywood? They're all gone. I think that's what it is because I don't think, well, if you do find something original, it's because of how a studio can monetize, you know? And so it's, say there's, like, YouTubers who make a fucking awesome short film, put up their money, they directed it, they wrote it, they produced it. Once they release it, and if it's something that gets, like, millions and millions of views, and it's an original idea, I mean, they might get signed to, like, an agency or a manager, and they might, you know, make a feature film out of this short film. That's happened before. Usually what happens is- Isn't that how Bel-Air got started? Oh, yeah, that's right. Bel-Air was started because someone, like, made a dark and gritty Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and, you know, I think either a studio head saw it and was just like, holy shit, that was really good. And they actually hired that filmmaker from that short film to, like, produce and write it and all that, and it happens, you know what I mean? But did we need it? I don't think so. Like, a lot of these, like, like, Night Court, for example, I heard it wasn't that good. I haven't read any reviews, but I think a buddy of mine just posted that it wasn't that great. He said that the 90s show continuation was good. So I watched that last night, and I never really watched that 70s show that much. I think I just saw, like, an episode here and there, and, like, yeah, there were some funny moments, but the kids these days are so unlikable at it. Like, the kids, like, maybe it's just the writing these days or the actors, but those actors back in the day, like your Ashton Kutcher and, you know, the guy who played Art Foreman, and even, what's his name? Faze. They were, there was just something about how, like, funny they were and unique. They had all these personalities and everything, and the kids these days on these shows, just, they don't have that, you know? There's, I think the Stranger Things kids are, like, the only exception of kids that I've seen that are really, like, they've been successful in being likable characters. But. Right. Yeah, other than that, everything's, all these other reboots are just kind of cringe, and they just didn't need to happen. So I don't know. It's, I don't know. Hollywood is just, sometimes they don't want to produce original ideas, and they're just like, hey, that 70s show was really popular. You know, maybe we should reboot this. Maybe they forgot that they tried to reboot that 80s show, although they tried to do a continuation of that 80s show, and that was really bad. And. That was awful. Yeah, so that, I don't know, man. But, yeah, there's just not going to be anything like there was when we were kids, like in the 90s and shit, you know what I mean? So it's like. Yeah, those, I mean, the action, the action movies. Yeah, the action stars, I mean, those guys are. Dude, like, going back and watching Demolition Man is so much fun, if you haven't done it in a while. Like, Demolition Man. I actually did, I watched it probably about six months ago. Judge Dredd, I even watched. Oh, God, yeah. Judge Dredd, I watched Demolition Man. Even Last Action. I don't, I'll be honest with you, like. Yeah, yeah, that was a little out there, but that had some moments. I mean, to be honest with you, a lot of what I watch when it comes to movies, I'm just re-watching old stuff from the 90s. Oh, same here. That's all you have to do. Like, I don't, these new movies, these new movies just don't do. I mean. It's one and done. You watch it once, you're just like, eh, okay. You know? Yeah, there's no staying power with. No, not at all. Even some of these TV shows, there's no staying power. Like, I can go back and re-watch shows from the 90s and still laugh. Oh, yeah, for sure. Once I go through a sitcom now, or a show, like Sons of Anarchy, Sopranos. Actually, I did watch, I did re-watch the Sopranos, but it's been fucking 20 years, you know? Yeah. Yellowstone, I'm watching that now. Like, if I have to go back and watch it to get caught up before a new season comes, that's one thing, but like, there's not a lot of staying power with these movies and shows where I'm like, oh, man, I really wanna see that, you know? Yeah. If I'm flipping through and TBS is on, or TNT, and Step Brothers is on, I'll probably stop and watch it, because there's some funny moments in it. Oh, big time. But I'm not like, I'm gonna sit down and watch Step Brothers, because it's been a while, and I love that movie. Like. Yeah. Now, Dumb and Dumber? Fuck, I have that on Blu-ray. I will pop that in. That is a movie where I'm like, I'm gonna sit here and watch Dumb and Dumber. Oh, God. That's what I'm gonna do. That's probably why I can quote the whole movie, so. Right. You know? When they were first trying to get it greenlit, they, like, no studio wanted to touch that. It was like. Oh, my God. Really? Yeah, it was, you know, and no one wanted to hire Jeff Daniels, and. Yeah. At that point, they thought he was old, right? No, I think they thought he was the serious actor, and maybe he could've been a little bit older than Jim Carrey, but I think he was more known for his serious, you know, his serious roles, and they didn't think he could do comedy. Like, I heard that they actually had Jim Carrey on set alone without Jeff Daniels doing some scenes with just, like, just a regular, like, comedian or something, because they weren't sure if Jeff Daniels was gonna work, so I think Jim Carrey got paid, like, seven million, and Jeff Daniels got paid 50,000, and Jim Carrey got seven million. Is that crazy? Oh. I might just quit and start a cat cafe. Who knows? Well, yeah, man. I guess we'll come back to this when Alec Baldwin goes to trial. Yeah. Maybe he'll finally, like, you know, okay, it was my fault. I pulled the trigger. I knew I should've chased. I thought he was funny on 30 Rock, but I think the guy just kind of started going crazy the older he got. You know, he made a couple good movies. He made a couple good movies in the 80s and 90s, you know, but actually, The Shadow was fucking awful. I'm not sure if you remember that movie. It's a horrible movie. Evil lurks in the hands of men. The Shadow knows, yeah. Me and my dad were excited to see that, and we went and watched it. My dad and I, too. Yeah. What a piece of shit.
