Adam K: How was
Aaron: Is
Adam K: your
Aaron: it
Adam K: day?
Aaron: working?
Adam K: I think it's working.
Aaron: Kind
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: of sounds like you.
Aaron: Sounds like you're in a can.
Adam K: Uh, I might be.
Adam K: I mean, I'm using a wireless mic as a as a microphone today, so
Adam K: it probably doesn't sound great.
Adam K: I'm sorry.
Aaron: Well, it doesn't sound like you're on mic.
Adam K: Oh, like I'm far away from it or something.
Aaron: Far away.
Aaron: Or maybe
Adam K: If
Aaron: it's
Adam K: I
Aaron: not
Adam K: talk
Aaron: pointed
Adam K: like
Aaron: towards your mouth.
Adam K: I'm talking directly into it right now, is that not working?
Aaron: Maybe it's picking up from
Aaron: another source and you think
Aaron: you're talking
Adam K: There's
Aaron: into
Adam K: a.
Aaron: it.
Adam K: Uh, there's a really good chance of that.
Adam K: Yeah, I. That's so stupid.
Adam K: How about that?
Aaron: That sounds right.
Adam K: So that's correct.
Aaron: Huh?
Aaron: It
Adam K: That's
Aaron: is.
Adam K: correct. That's the better.
Adam K: Okay. Yeah.
Adam K: I, I plugged in my Bluetooth headphones and it said, oh,
Adam K: we'll just, we'll make those your microphone anyway.
Adam K: Technology is awesome.
Adam K: I think it's great.
Adam K: I think the future is awesome and everything that's happening
Adam K: is only positive.
Aaron: I might be getting a Netflix subscription again.
Adam K: You're getting a Netflix
Adam K: subscription or you're canceling
Adam K: it.
Aaron: No, I canceled it like a couple years ago, but I think I might
Aaron: be getting it back because I was
Adam K: For
Aaron: reading an
Adam K: what?
Aaron: article that, that, uh, they're
Aaron: currently filming a Smokey and
Aaron: the bandit prequel that's going
Aaron: to come out next year on
Aaron: Netflix,
Adam K: Okay,
Aaron: which.
Adam K: so then you'll get it for that week
Aaron: Yeah. Well,
Adam K: and that's
Aaron: you know,
Adam K: it.
Aaron: get it up for the run up, you know, for the run up content.
Aaron: I'm sure there'll be a big like
Aaron: I'm sure Ted Sarandos and
Aaron: there'll be kind of a Chinese
Aaron: Grauman's thing, you know, and
Aaron: all the kind of like the hoopla
Aaron: around it.
Aaron: I want to make sure I see all
Aaron: that and then I'll cancel it
Aaron: after I watch the eighty two
Aaron: minute feature length film
Aaron: they've created.
Adam K: So it's
Aaron: It's
Adam K: a.
Aaron: good.
Aaron: But it's confusing
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: though, because in nineteen ninety four they released a
Aaron: Smoking the Bandit prequel.
Aaron: Uh, the one you know, we all know bandit goes country.
Aaron: And
Adam K: Yeah. Of course.
Aaron: I thought that closed out the series pretty well.
Aaron: So I, what I assume is they got, you know, some great writers on
Aaron: this to kind of say, what if, you know, um, and create
Adam K: Who's
Aaron: this
Adam K: the
Aaron: movie.
Adam K: new Smokey
Aaron: So.
Adam K: now that, uh, now that what's.
Adam K: Burt Reynolds is dead.
Aaron: No, it's Burt Reynolds still, which is great.
Aaron: I mean, you know, de-aging and everything.
Aaron: Actually,
Adam K: He died.
Aaron: it's, I think it's, I think it's Austin Butler, but they're
Aaron: putting Burt Reynolds face on top of him.
Adam K: But they're like, we're not using any AI in this.
Adam K: And it's literally.
Adam K: Burt Reynolds face just
Aaron: But they're
Adam K: cut
Aaron: also
Adam K: off.
Aaron: they're using Austin Butler to
Aaron: play Buford T justice and
Aaron: putting Jackie Gleason's face on
Aaron: him.
Aaron: So it's it's pretty cool.
Aaron: It's like
Adam K: The.
Aaron: an Eddie Murphy thing, I think.
Adam K: the the crap you were into, which really it's mostly 70s and
Adam K: 80s things like Colombo.
Adam K: And I mean, there's good stuff in there, obviously, but
Aaron: Uh-uh.
Adam K: when you said smoking the bandit, my brain immediately
Adam K: thought of Dukes of Hazzard because it's all just blending
Adam K: together for me.
Aaron: Um,
Adam K: I'm so.
Adam K: I'm sorry.
Adam K: So
Aaron: well,
Adam K: when you said it
Aaron: you
Adam K: was
Aaron: know.
Adam K: like, they're making a movie, I
Adam K: was like, that doesn't make
Adam K: sense.
Adam K: It was a TV show, but whatever.
Aaron: The only reason why Smokey and
Aaron: the bandit wasn't the biggest
Aaron: movie in nineteen seventy seven
Aaron: was why?
Aaron: What is, what was it up against
Aaron: in the same week or same run,
Aaron: star Wars?
Adam K: I oh, okay.
Adam K: Well, also you, you kind of cut
Adam K: out there for a second, but I
Adam K: don't think
Aaron: No,
Adam K: it was
Aaron: there's
Adam K: important.
Aaron: no excuse.
Aaron: You didn't know the correct answer.
Aaron: That was the correct answer.
Adam K: You started sounding like a robot and disappeared.
Adam K: It's my fault because I'm calling you from the Bahamas.
Adam K: But that's just how it goes.
Aaron: Oh yeah.
Adam K: Yeah, I'm
Aaron: Well,
Adam K: parked
Aaron: I'm glad
Adam K: outside
Aaron: we're using technology.
Adam K: Nassau.
Aaron: Like you're on a cruise in the Caribbean, and I'm
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: relaying all the latest Smokey and the bandit news to you.
Aaron: Fucking
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: goddamn
Adam K: This this
Aaron: losers.
Adam K: is. This is what our forefathers
Adam K: intended when they founded
Adam K: America.
Aaron: Well, I'm curious,
Adam K: This is.
Aaron: like, what the.
Aaron: They should what they should do if they want to widen their
Aaron: subscriber base, uh, is they should really lean into the
Aaron: Confederate stuff this time, you know, because towards the
Aaron: smoking the bandit.
Aaron: Well, all the smoking the bandits, they despite what you
Aaron: might think they were making fun of, of the deep South kind of
Aaron: redneck stuff, like they were the foils, you know, like
Aaron: everyone in that movie between, uh, Burt Reynolds and, uh, Jerry
Aaron: Reed and Jackie Gleason.
Aaron: They were all like, you know,
Aaron: they, they were rational, non
Aaron: racist, you know, uh, kind of,
Aaron: you know, somewhat progressive
Aaron: people.
Aaron: And they would make fun of the
Aaron: kind of like the Deep South, you
Aaron: know, the Buford T justices, uh,
Aaron: all this stuff, yet they still
Aaron: had Confederate flags on the
Aaron: Trans AM and, and everywhere
Aaron: else.
Aaron: So and then they kind of like, you know, kind of phased that
Aaron: out, but it'd be fun if it went reversed where they're actually
Aaron: racist and they're like Maga types, but they have American
Aaron: flags everywhere on the cars and, uh, and
Adam K: Should be
Aaron: Buford
Adam K: a trans
Aaron: T justice.
Adam K: flag.
Aaron: Yeah. Yes. Yeah.
Adam K: Trans
Aaron: Buford
Adam K: pride flag.
Adam K: One of those.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: no. Buford T justice should be a
Aaron: black guy that's driving just
Aaron: like it's a cop car with just
Aaron: that's just painted the trans
Aaron: flag colours like it's, you
Aaron: know, it goes from pink to
Aaron: purple and blue and all that
Aaron: stuff.
Aaron: And it's constantly getting like
Aaron: blown up and torn apart because
Aaron: the really smart Maga people in
Aaron: there, I think you should
Aaron: update.
Aaron: It should probably be like Hemi,
Aaron: like dodges instead of Firebirds
Aaron: because, well, there's no
Aaron: Firebirds anymore.
Aaron: But yeah, you basically have them in whatever they drive like
Aaron: a challenger Hellcat or something with a. Yeah, I think
Aaron: it could be good.
Aaron: I should write this.
Adam K: Yeah, go for it.
Adam K: Did you see that?
Adam K: Uh, what's his face?
Adam K: The, uh, lazer team.
Adam K: Guy Reacher.
Adam K: Alan Richardson.
Aaron: Oh. Alan Ritchson yeah.
Adam K: Yeah. They're doing, uh, like a
Adam K: nineteen seventies, like Detroit
Adam K: action movie.
Aaron: That movie came out last year.
Adam K: I don't know
Aaron: I thought,
Adam K: when stuff comes out, I don't
Aaron: well,
Adam K: I know The
Aaron: I
Adam K: Odyssey
Aaron: saw
Adam K: is
Aaron: like,
Adam K: out on Twitter.
Aaron: right.
Adam K: So.
Aaron: Well I saw the well, you know, I saw all that stuff.
Aaron: He was, he was saying about Trump.
Aaron: But then I was like, okay, he's got the movie.
Aaron: It's called Detroit Something or Motor City or something
Adam K: Motor
Aaron: like
Adam K: city,
Aaron: that.
Adam K: I think.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: And I was like, oh, when's that coming out?
Aaron: It came out last year.
Aaron: I think I'm like, am I crazy?
Aaron: Like, because he recently mentioned it and then wait.
Aaron: Yeah, it said, okay, hold on a second.
Aaron: It says
Adam K: I.
Aaron: it came out in twenty twenty five.
Aaron: And then
Adam K: Uh.
Aaron: but there's a Regal Edwards screening of it tonight.
Aaron: It's telling me what is going on here.
Adam K: I don't know.
Adam K: I can't I, I, I'm, I'm starting to
Aaron: And
Adam K: realize
Aaron: he's doing.
Adam K: more and more it's we're just in a simulation.
Aaron: Go ahead.
Adam K: None of this is real.
Aaron: No, but he's doing press for it right now.
Aaron: But it says it came out in twenty twenty five.
Aaron: And then there's an
Adam K: Yes.
Aaron: official trailer that came out a month ago.
Aaron: What?
Aaron: I'm confused.
Adam K: I am also confused.
Adam K: I think also I keep seeing everywhere the movie obsession
Adam K: and it keeps being dated as twenty twenty five.
Adam K: I can swear it came out in
Adam K: twenty twenty six, but I don't
Adam K: want to look it up because I'm
Adam K: just.
Adam K: I'm just embracing
Aaron: I.
Adam K: the madness.
Aaron: Okay. I got so Motor City came out at the Venice International
Aaron: Festival in August of last year, so it has premiere at a festival
Aaron: which no one sees, of course.
Aaron: And then it was released in the United States July twenty four.
Aaron: Okay.
Aaron: So it was released, uh, Friday.
Aaron: All right.
Aaron: Gotcha.
Adam K: This way it can contend for the Oscars.
Aaron: Yeah. That's that's what's going to happen with this one.
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: Mr. Potsy punk Crowley, who directed it.
Aaron: He's, uh,
Adam K: You
Aaron: he's
Adam K: made that name
Aaron: going
Adam K: up.
Aaron: straight to the Oscars.
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: Produced Jay and Silent Bob reboot And some other things.
Adam K: Anyway.
Aaron: Whatever.
Adam K: Well, that was that was your idea just executed better.
Aaron: I really, I appreciate.
Aaron: Alan Ritchson I just don't.
Aaron: He's not he's not really a great actor.
Aaron: He's a he's a muscle man, which is fine.
Aaron: Like there's a place for that.
Aaron: But he's, uh, you know, he's, he's a
Adam K: I.
Aaron: particular, uh, he's no Bruce Willis.
Adam K: I was going to say
Aaron: Maybe
Adam K: out of
Aaron: he's
Adam K: all
Aaron: like
Adam K: the
Aaron: Bruce Willis now, but
Adam K: of
Aaron: what?
Adam K: all the all the lunkheads who came before him.
Adam K: So like Arnold, Steven Seagal, Jean Claude Van Damme, trying to
Adam K: think who else?
Adam K: Chuck Norris maybe.
Adam K: Um,
Aaron: A little older.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: yeah.
Adam K: I mean, a lot of that's, you
Adam K: know, either on steroids or
Adam K: avoiding steroids, but of all of
Adam K: them, I feel like Jean-Claude
Adam K: Van Damme's the only good actor,
Adam K: and I'm basing that entirely on
Adam K: the film?
Adam K: Jcvd.
Adam K: That's it.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Not Timecop.
Aaron: Yeah. Well, which was Timecop was is his brother.
Aaron: Where his twin brother is at Double Impact.
Adam K: That's double impact or.
Aaron: Okay. Well, I would say argue that Double Impact is the better
Aaron: performance because he's he's playing two versions of a
Aaron: Belgian man who, who isn't a good actor, which I think
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: is the harder thing.
Adam K: I are arguably, Street Fighter is his best role because he was
Adam K: high on cocaine the whole time, and he was able to string most
Adam K: of the words together.
Aaron: Yeah. Yeah. That's right.
Aaron: That's like someone, um, you
Aaron: know, he basically gave himself
Aaron: a disability and power through
Aaron: it.
Adam K: Well, yeah, he was having a
Adam K: constant affair with Kylie
Adam K: Minogue.
Adam K: Raul.
Adam K: Julia's dying.
Adam K: It's it's one of the greatest.
Adam K: It's it's like the, uh, uh, what's the, the documentary
Adam K: about Apocalypse Now.
Adam K: Something
Aaron: Oh!
Aaron: Uh.
Adam K: hard.
Aaron: Darkness.
Aaron: No.
Adam K: Hard. Heart of darkness or hearts
Aaron: Hearts
Adam K: of
Aaron: of
Adam K: darkness?
Aaron: darkness.
Adam K: Yeah. It's like the movie's great, but sometimes the
Adam K: documentary is even better.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: I
Aaron: Uh,
Adam K: would
Aaron: yeah.
Adam K: say
Aaron: This
Adam K: that.
Aaron: is Alan.
Adam K: And yeah,
Aaron: Oh, I'm just
Adam K: he
Aaron: reading
Adam K: could
Aaron: this
Adam K: be
Aaron: Alan
Adam K: in strife.
Aaron: Richardson stuff.
Aaron: I just don't like.
Aaron: I think that, uh.
Aaron: I was thinking about this yesterday.
Aaron: I don't know if there can be, like, another, you know, there's
Aaron: all these beloved actors and tough men and strong women.
Aaron: There's the, you know, the Meryl
Aaron: Streep's and the the Arnold's or
Aaron: the whoever, you know, like, uh,
Aaron: I don't know if, if there will
Aaron: be that anymore just because of
Aaron: the, the way that, how, how
Aaron: diffuse media is, it's like
Aaron: you're not being directed
Aaron: towards, uh, you know, a, a, a
Aaron: Stallone, you know, or
Aaron: something.
Aaron: It's like, yeah, you can be directed towards Richardson, I
Aaron: guess, on on Amazon for Reacher.
Aaron: But
Adam K: MM.
Aaron: also at the same time, he's saying all this stuff about
Aaron: Trump and the people who watch Reacher are like Maga it and
Aaron: stuff like that.
Aaron: So I don't know what happens with that.
Aaron: Also, it's it's controlled by a
Aaron: company who's sympathetic to
Aaron: that government.
Aaron: So I don't know, I don't know, like eventually you just go
Adam K: It's
Aaron: away.
Adam K: probably.
Aaron: But.
Adam K: Well, see, they were smart back then.
Adam K: They didn't get into politics.
Adam K: They just became the governor of California.
Aaron: Yeah. Well, yeah.
Adam K: How about. Hey, mister.
Adam K: Mister Lazer team?
Adam K: One.
Adam K: Not two.
Adam K: Maybe.
Adam K: I don't know if he was in the
Adam K: second one, but maybe you run
Adam K: for governor or mayor and be the
Adam K: change.
Adam K: Instead of just talking about what to do in a podcast.
Adam K: I say this as someone, I guess you can call this a podcast.
Adam K: I don't know what this is.
Adam K: I'm in the Bahamas.
Aaron: Yeah. I'm at my desk dying.
Adam K: You're in a different kind of Bahama.
Aaron: The best part about Lazer Team two, when they couldn't get Alan
Aaron: Ritchson back is they cut to, I think, a picture of him.
Aaron: And they're like, just remember.
Aaron: And every time I saw that picture, I'm like, yeah, just
Aaron: remember how he didn't want to sign up for the second one.
Adam K: But even doing that, you have to pay the actor, right?
Aaron: I don't know what the contract was like.
Aaron: I don't know if they're like, they had some SQL like use
Aaron: likeness for SQL or I don't know what they did.
Adam K: MM.
Aaron: Also, I don't
Adam K: And.
Aaron: remember if they actually
Aaron: referenced him in the actual
Aaron: movie, because I remember it was
Aaron: in the script that we wrote in
Aaron: my living room in forty eight
Aaron: hours.
Aaron: Wow,
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: thirty six hours.
Aaron: So maybe it was in it.
Aaron: Maybe it was.
Aaron: I didn't watch the movie, so I don't know.
Adam K: Right.
Adam K: And there's no premiere in Fiji like the first one
Aaron: No.
Adam K: where
Aaron: To where I had
Adam K: the.
Aaron: to watch it.
Adam K: We walked out of that.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: We did not
Aaron: Oh,
Adam K: watch
Aaron: yeah.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: the whole thing.
Adam K: There were there were less people in the audience than
Adam K: other crew members attending to promote the movie.
Adam K: In
Aaron: There's
Adam K: the one
Aaron: like
Adam K: theater
Aaron: eight
Adam K: in
Aaron: of
Adam K: Fiji.
Aaron: us and two confused Fijians who
Aaron: were trying to watch an Indian
Aaron: porno movie and then
Aaron: accidentally went in the wrong
Aaron: theater.
Adam K: I. I had assumed that it was kind of like a John Wilkes Booth
Adam K: or not John Wilkes.
Adam K: Uh.
Aaron: Jumped down and they're like
Adam K: No.
Aaron: in a lazer team, and then they shoot us.
Adam K: No, I was thinking of, uh.
Adam K: God, why can't I remember his name?
Adam K: Um, JFK assassination assassin,
Aaron: Lee Harvey Oswald.
Adam K: Lee Harvey Oswald.
Adam K: He hid in a movie theater after he murdered a
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: politician.
Adam K: That's.
Adam K: Those guys are like, yeah, yeah, big.
Adam K: They're like, we're going to go
Adam K: to the one place no one will
Adam K: look.
Aaron: Uh, now
Adam K: Uh.
Aaron: that's, uh. Yeah, I think I don't think Alan Richardson
Aaron: hears I met him.
Aaron: He's a nice guy.
Aaron: I've watched him.
Aaron: I think there's a stew doing because he's self-admittedly
Aaron: bipolar and he's he's juicing and he's got all these pressures
Aaron: and he's hyper Christian.
Aaron: I just think there's something's going to snap eventually.
Aaron: And because he's legitimately.
Aaron: Kudos to him for like, saying what he feels about, you know,
Aaron: things and how shitty things are and whatever the case is.
Aaron: And it's like, it's almost too
Aaron: good that he's six three muscle
Aaron: man, you know, fighting for
Aaron: good.
Aaron: And then says he sings about the Trump administration.
Aaron: It's like, it's, it's like a
Aaron: degree removed away from the
Aaron: headline, uh, reach your star,
Aaron: you know, murder suicide in
Aaron: Tennessee.
Aaron: You know, like it's just there's
Aaron: just a there's a brewing tension
Aaron: and maybe I'm projecting here my
Aaron: own life.
Adam K: You are?
Aaron: But, uh,
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: I just, I feel there's something
Aaron: something's going to happen, but
Aaron: hopefully not.
Adam K: If he was a linebacker or a professional wrestler, I would
Adam K: maybe say yes.
Adam K: But he he might.
Adam K: Yes.
Adam K: He's being overmedicated in one direction.
Adam K: He might be.
Adam K: His brain might not be complete mush yet where he's going to
Adam K: strangle his family in the middle of the night?
Adam K: I hope not.
Adam K: So who knows?
Adam K: As long as he avoids any head trauma, he might be okay.
Adam K: But he does ride a motorcycle, so.
Aaron: I just wish he had a couple.
Aaron: Oh, yeah.
Aaron: I
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: forgot about that element
Aaron: because you introduce a Gary
Aaron: Busey element and then it's all
Aaron: over.
Adam K: Except
Aaron: Speaking.
Adam K: Gary Busey is fine.
Aaron: No.
Adam K: I think he's more alive than Burt Reynolds.
Aaron: I told you about that.
Aaron: That dinner I had with Jake Busey for when we were casting.
Aaron: I was casting for day five or something like that, but we.
Aaron: So we had this dinner with Jake
Aaron: Busey and I had already had in
Aaron: mind when I wrote, the character
Aaron: was like, okay, who, who's
Aaron: someone who would understand
Aaron: like, because basically I wanted
Aaron: the character to be like a head
Aaron: trauma victim.
Aaron: And I was like, it's almost like a young Gary Busey is what the
Aaron: person should be like.
Aaron: And then we found Jake Busey.
Aaron: And so we're talking, I'm talking to him at dinners, me,
Aaron: him, and like one other person at this dinner talking about
Aaron: whatever's going to happen.
Aaron: And he's like, yeah.
Aaron: So I'm thinking like, you know, obviously this dude's kind of
Aaron: touching the head.
Aaron: And, you know, I actually kind of had experience with this.
Aaron: I, you know, I had a family
Aaron: member who was in a motorcycle
Aaron: accident.
Aaron: I was like, oh, really?
Aaron: What?
Aaron: Okay, well, yeah, that might be
Aaron: kind of similar to what we're
Aaron: going for.
Aaron: Yeah, that might actually work if you harness that exact thing.
Aaron: I was thinking when I was writing it.
Aaron: It's
Adam K: Uh,
Aaron: fucking
Adam K: yeah.
Aaron: crazy.
Adam K: And
Aaron: Well,
Adam K: that's how you
Aaron: anyway.
Adam K: got the Emmy?
Adam K: Well, that's a weird story of nepotism, where
Aaron: I
Adam K: the
Aaron: know.
Adam K: the insane writer leans on
Adam K: someone's tragic event to make
Adam K: their internet show more to
Adam K: their liking.
Aaron: Yeah. It's very, uh.
Aaron: There's no winners in any of that, really.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: And then I was thinking.
Adam K: MM.
Aaron: Alan Ritchson.
Aaron: It's a bummer that he he doesn't have, like, a couple more flops
Aaron: under his belt because then he would be legitimately up for.
Aaron: I think that Smokey and the
Aaron: bandit prequel, because I think
Aaron: that he'd
Adam K: MM.
Aaron: fit right into that.
Aaron: And that would be.
Aaron: You'd almost want him to be.
Aaron: I don't know who you'd want him to be in it because
Adam K: The female
Aaron: he's too
Adam K: lead.
Aaron: big.
Aaron: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Aaron: He's too big to fit in a car with a cowboy hat.
Aaron: So you can't have him in that in the car.
Adam K: MM mm.
Aaron: It's too big to fit in a semi
Aaron: truck with a cowboy hat and a
Aaron: dog.
Aaron: And
Adam K: Uh.
Aaron: he's too big to fit in a cop car
Aaron: that's painted transgender
Aaron: colors.
Adam K: Maybe he just goes to the movie.
Aaron: Yeah,
Adam K: Maybe he just sits in the theater.
Aaron: maybe
Adam K: I would
Aaron: he's
Adam K: just
Aaron: just
Adam K: watch
Aaron: at the
Adam K: as
Aaron: premiere.
Adam K: it.
Aaron: He goes to the Fiji premiere of Smokey and the bandit prequel.
Adam K: Yeah, but he doesn't stay for the whole thing.
Adam K: Um, when I was at the airport, we're leaving.
Adam K: There's a large group of people, and they're crowding, and
Adam K: they're all just standing in line, staring at Erik Estrada.
Adam K: And he's this old man asking where gate thirty one is.
Adam K: And one of
Aaron: Did
Adam K: the guys
Aaron: he ride
Adam K: goes,
Aaron: a
Adam K: hey,
Aaron: motorcycle
Adam K: your.
Aaron: in in the terminal?
Adam K: Dude could barely walk.
Adam K: No, I mean, he actually
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: looks pretty healthy.
Adam K: His teeth are very, very healthy.
Adam K: And
Aaron: They've always
Adam K: yeah,
Aaron: been like
Adam K: he's
Aaron: that,
Adam K: just,
Aaron: though.
Adam K: there's just a group of millennials being like, hey,
Adam K: you're that guy.
Adam K: You're.
Adam K: And I'm just like Erik Estrada.
Adam K: Just say his name mentioned C
Adam K: lab or something, for fuck's
Adam K: sake.
Adam K: But, um, he they're like, can we get a photo?
Adam K: And he just kind of passively.
Adam K: Yeah, yeah, man.
Adam K: I'm just like, where's the shitter?
Adam K: But,
Aaron: Uh.
Adam K: uh, yeah, that was yeah.
Adam K: Look, no, no matter what, once you get in the Hollywood system,
Adam K: you're doomed for greatness.
Adam K: That's it.
Aaron: I don't understand how millennials recognize him.
Aaron: I don't.
Aaron: They weren't.
Aaron: Weren't people in their fifties.
Adam K: I didn't get a great look at him.
Adam K: The commotion I heard was.
Adam K: I think he's famous.
Adam K: So.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: MM. Yeah. I'm looking at pictures of him.
Aaron: Right.
Aaron: He looks pretty good.
Adam K: Yeah, but you're
Aaron: But
Adam K: probably
Aaron: I would have
Adam K: looking
Aaron: been
Adam K: at
Aaron: more
Adam K: pictures
Aaron: impressed.
Adam K: from chips.
Aaron: I. Well, yeah, I guess it is.
Aaron: MM. Yeah.
Aaron: I guess they don't put highway
Aaron: patrol on a big star on the cars
Aaron: anymore.
Aaron: And
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: he is wearing a uniform.
Aaron: If I were him I would just wear the uniform all the time.
Aaron: Like why?
Aaron: Why not
Adam K: Uh, I
Aaron: At
Adam K: think there's a
Aaron: this
Adam K: law
Aaron: at
Adam K: against
Aaron: this point.
Adam K: it. Yeah, I
Aaron: See,
Adam K: believe
Aaron: I told
Adam K: it's.
Aaron: you there's a picture of him riding a chip's motorcycle into.
Aaron: Looks like Dodger Stadium.
Adam K: Uh, yeah,
Aaron: Wow. That's twelve years ago.
Aaron: Whatever.
Adam K: yeah, yeah, I yeah, I mean, that's, that will probably be
Adam K: the greatest thing he ever did.
Adam K: And, and making those people's
Adam K: day at the, you know, the Delta
Adam K: terminal.
Adam K: Uh.
Aaron: That show is just a psyop for the California Highway Patrol.
Aaron: Anyway.
Adam K: Did you see, did you see the tongue controller I sent you?
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Pretty cool.
Aaron: What was that, a psyop, too, or.
Aaron: What are you talking about?
Adam K: I don't know, I was just trying to change the subject.
Adam K: I didn't want to talk about Erik Estrada anymore.
Aaron: Oh, Erik Estrada might need that tongue mouse if he's limping
Aaron: around like he is.
Aaron: Maybe they can wire it up to the
Aaron: a Harley Davidson, uh, police
Aaron: cruiser.
Aaron: He just steer it with his tongue?
Adam K: Uh, well, so all the new police bikes are BMW s and I see them,
Adam K: you know, there's like police auctions and stuff.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: I feel like if you could fix
Adam K: that, that's that's probably a
Adam K: still a pretty good running
Adam K: bike, right?
Aaron: No, because.
Aaron: And not to get back in my auction knowledge.
Aaron: Like, I mean, it is it's a solid platform, but by the time you
Aaron: get it, those bikes have been idling forever and they've been
Aaron: run hard and, like, in traffic and start stop and like, they
Aaron: need full engine rebuilds and all this stuff that, you know,
Aaron: because by that point, they're, they're the piston rings are bad
Aaron: and like you need new valve seats and all this other stuff
Aaron: that just kind of gets worn out from big old butts riding on
Aaron: them in LA traffic.
Adam K: Yeah. And probably not the constant stopping and starting
Adam K: and, you know, uh, whatever, Just stopping for like, I'm
Adam K: trying to think what bike cops even do in my city.
Adam K: They're usually just there for funerals.
Aaron: The by
Adam K: That's
Aaron: the
Adam K: all I
Aaron: the
Adam K: see.
Aaron: test.
Aaron: The handling maneuverability
Aaron: test for a motorcycle cop is is
Aaron: nuts.
Aaron: The
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: low speed maneuvers they have to do with a bike that weighs like
Aaron: a thousand pounds with them and all their equipment on it is
Aaron: it's it's unbelievable.
Aaron: You know, like I
Adam K: Did
Aaron: and during
Adam K: you watch
Aaron: my
Adam K: the.
Aaron: test.
Aaron: Like what?
Adam K: Did you watch the Fort nine video on that is a Canadian
Aaron: No.
Adam K: one, but, um, I'll send you the link after this.
Adam K: But the guy does that test.
Adam K: He trains for it and he records himself doing it.
Adam K: He almost looks perfect when he does it.
Adam K: And then the video ends and you hear the guy go fail.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Oh, yeah.
Aaron: Because I do these like tight little figure eights and all
Aaron: this other stuff.
Aaron: And they, you know, they gotta
Aaron: like stand on the bike while
Aaron: shooting a machine gun into a
Aaron: crowd.
Aaron: I don't know what all the stuff
Aaron: they have to do, but it's
Aaron: something like that where it's
Aaron: pretty complicated.
Aaron: And I remember my bike test, you know, at the community college
Aaron: parking lot was just like, can you stop within this distance?
Aaron: Can you do that?
Aaron: You know, like just basic things.
Aaron: And I was on an old Honda that they gave me to do it.
Aaron: And like the first test or the part of the test that I did
Aaron: where I had to do a panic stop, the rear brake just blew apart
Aaron: and I was like, and I missed.
Aaron: I probably went over by two feet the line or something.
Aaron: And they're like, well, you know, we got to deduct for that.
Aaron: And I was picking up the pieces
Aaron: of the rear brake that had
Aaron: fallen off.
Aaron: And they're like, well, most of your braking is in the front
Aaron: anyway, so you shouldn't have relied on the rear brake.
Aaron: I was like, I wasn't relying, I
Aaron: just touched it and it blew
Aaron: apart.
Adam K: Uh, yeah, the test I took, there were people still like walking,
Adam K: basically like walking the bike, um, during their final test.
Adam K: And those people passed.
Adam K: It was
Aaron: Oh, yeah.
Adam K: a little scary who they they gave the passes to.
Adam K: I accidentally did a stoppie
Adam K: because it was just such a small
Adam K: bike.
Adam K: And the guy's like, how long you been riding?
Adam K: I'm like, um, I don't know what I'm doing.
Aaron: You mean
Adam K: I'm
Aaron: you endowed.
Adam K: learning. Oh, sorry.
Adam K: Yeah, I did a, I did an endo.
Adam K: Yeah.
Adam K: Um, because they give you these little, little Moto Guzzi bikes,
Aaron: Yeah
Adam K: little
Aaron: yeah
Adam K: like,
Aaron: yeah
Adam K: yeah,
Aaron: yeah.
Adam K: two hundred and fifty cc or whatever, if that, maybe they're
Adam K: one twenty five um, but uh, and then yeah, my clutch was stuck
Adam K: for the first day.
Adam K: Um, so I'd have to reach down and pull it up with my hand to
Adam K: get into, like to get from first to second, uh, to go around
Adam K: corners and stuff.
Adam K: And I was like, hey, this, this clutch is broken.
Adam K: Like, no, it's not okay.
Aaron: That's exactly what
Adam K: Sure.
Aaron: my my throttle was sticking.
Aaron: It was sticking open.
Aaron: So the idle speed was like
Aaron: twenty percent higher than it
Aaron: should be.
Aaron: You know, it was basically like, like cruising pressure.
Aaron: And so every time I let out the clutch, I would just accelerate.
Aaron: There was no like, you know, easing.
Aaron: So I'd have to be on the brake.
Aaron: And there's some tests that part of the test where you have to do
Aaron: this, uh, quick, I guess it's like a quick avoidance, quick
Aaron: obstacle avoidance or whatever, and you can't touch
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: your brake.
Aaron: But the thing was, is I was constantly accelerating and I
Aaron: had no choice.
Aaron: And so they're like, we saw you touch your brake.
Aaron: I'm like, the throttle is stuck open.
Aaron: And they're like, no, it's not.
Aaron: It's like, it's like, what is
Aaron: this gas lighter instructors
Aaron: that.
Aaron: And
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: then there was this woman, you
Aaron: know, you talk about the people
Aaron: who were just like allowed to
Aaron: pass.
Aaron: She laid down her bike twice and she ran into one of the other
Aaron: people on their bike.
Aaron: And she got a seventy one, which was, you know, one point higher
Aaron: than failing or whatever.
Aaron: And
Adam K: Uh.
Aaron: I remember the instructor saying
Aaron: she had passed and everyone
Aaron: looked at each other and the
Aaron: instructor in front of everyone,
Aaron: like goes.
Aaron: The woman goes, please, please
Aaron: be careful when you go out
Aaron: there, please.
Aaron: And everyone was like, don't pass or don't pass
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: her.
Aaron: And she was so proud.
Aaron: I was like, yeah, well, you
Adam K: Man.
Aaron: need organ donors
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: too.
Aaron: So whatever.
Adam K: That's that's true.
Adam K: Yeah, yeah.
Adam K: The small Vietnamese girl that was driving in front of me
Adam K: dropped her bike twice.
Adam K: Uh, she crashed into a wall.
Adam K: I think she just.
Adam K: She just skidded against it.
Adam K: So they.
Adam K: Because they said, if you crash, you're out.
Adam K: Um,
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: but I think they were like,
Adam K: well, technically she didn't
Adam K: crash.
Adam K: She just kind of hit the side.
Adam K: Um, but yeah, that's kind of like an LA thing too, where
Adam K: there's an, they incentivize you to drive because you kind of
Adam K: have to, and that's how they make their revenue.
Adam K: So they're like, whatever you
Adam K: can, you know, like my, on my
Adam K: driver's test, I remember I was
Adam K: going twenty five in a fifty
Adam K: because there was a school sign
Adam K: posted and I got, I got dinged
Adam K: for that.
Adam K: And I was like, uh, afterwards
Adam K: she's like, well, yeah, I
Adam K: basically got one above failing
Adam K: two.
Adam K: And I was arguing being like, well, it's a school zone.
Adam K: And it was school time.
Adam K: She's like, that doesn't really matter.
Adam K: I'm like, what the f just, I don't know.
Adam K: It doesn't just it's madness.
Aaron: There's no
Adam K: Anyway.
Aaron: good motorcycles in the auction site right now.
Aaron: Definitely no police ones.
Aaron: And then there's this one ninja motorcycle that kind of looks
Aaron: like the one I had.
Aaron: And I'm like, oh, what's the deal with this?
Aaron: And it says, oh, you know, it's green mileage unknown.
Aaron: And it says police slash disabled.
Aaron: And I was like, I'm like, what does that mean?
Aaron: And I think maybe
Adam K: Erik
Aaron: the
Adam K: Estrada used to write it.
Aaron: or Erik Estrada just he slashed the tires or something.
Aaron: I don't know what this means.
Adam K: It was
Aaron: Whatever.
Adam K: his wife's boyfriend's ninja.
Aaron: Yeah. He does look like he might
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: be into that kind of thing.
Adam K: I
Aaron: I'm not going
Adam K: just
Aaron: to speculate.
Adam K: really pass.
Adam K: No, I would say it's just really passive about the whole thing.
Adam K: Are you swimming in it?
Adam K: You never know.
Aaron: I do wonder.
Aaron: What's his net worth?
Aaron: Let's see.
Adam K: It's whatever.
Aaron: Estrada.
Adam K: How much is house is worth?
Adam K: And the
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: boxes of DVDs in his garage are, if they're signed or not.
Aaron: Really?
Aaron: At that point?
Aaron: Yeah. I mean, I, I assume he's
Aaron: on the it's the convention
Aaron: circuit.
Aaron: You know, the
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: the collectibles celebrity convention circuit.
Aaron: He's signing motorcycle helmets and and all that stuff.
Aaron: Yeah.
Aaron: I forget he's in Sealab twenty twenty one.
Aaron: So he can go to, uh, actually comic conventions and
Adam K: I
Aaron: charge
Adam K: think I saw him at
Aaron: five
Adam K: Comic-Con.
Aaron: bucks a photo.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: No, I saw him on a. I saw him on a panel.
Adam K: It was shortly after Captain
Adam K: Murphy died, and then someone
Adam K: asked the question, why isn't
Adam K: Captain Murphy on the show
Adam K: anymore?
Adam K: And the whole audience collectively groaned.
Adam K: It was.
Adam K: It was
Aaron: You
Adam K: a sad moment.
Aaron: asked that question?
Adam K: Yeah. It was.
Adam K: I was confused why they changed the voice actor so suddenly.
Adam K: I thought it was he was the arguably the best character.
Adam K: And then they just.
Adam K: They stopped using him.
Aaron: Oh well, here we go.
Aaron: So medium dot net says it's been a rough year for the actor.
Aaron: This is last updated.
Aaron: Um, let's see today.
Aaron: Okay, good.
Aaron: Uh, it's been a rough year for
Aaron: the actor, but at least he has
Aaron: his millions of dollars to ease
Aaron: the pain.
Aaron: Seventy seven year old Erik Estrada has taken the number one
Aaron: spot on people with money's top ten highest paid actors for
Aaron: twenty twenty six, with an estimated eighty two million
Aaron: dollars in combined earnings.
Adam K: What?
Aaron: And then there's a. And then there's a, uh, a photo of people
Aaron: with money magazine, uh, and Erik Estrada's faces on it tops
Aaron: annual highest paid.
Aaron: Um, I
Adam K: Doing
Aaron: think
Adam K: what?
Aaron: this is this is correct.
Aaron: Uh, wait.
Aaron: Hold on.
Adam K: Can you?
Aaron: Maybe this is wrong.
Adam K: What?
Aaron: Let me look into this.
Aaron: People with money
Adam K: Did he
Aaron: factors.
Adam K: write this.
Aaron: The American actor has an
Aaron: estimated net worth of two
Aaron: hundred and forty five million
Aaron: dollars.
Aaron: He owes his fortune to smart
Aaron: stock investments, substantial
Aaron: property holdings, lucrative
Aaron: endorsement deals with CoverGirl
Aaron: cosmetics.
Aaron: He also owns several restaurants
Aaron: Fat Estrada Burger in
Aaron: Washington, a football team, New
Aaron: York Angels.
Aaron: He has launched his own brand of vodka, pure wonder.
Aaron: Estrada is tackling the juniors market with a top selling
Aaron: perfume with love from Eric.
Aaron: What the hell is this site?
Adam K: It could be all made up and you would never know.
Aaron: This is pretty cool.
Aaron: This is insane.
Adam K: I kind
Aaron: Oh,
Adam K: of.
Aaron: look
Adam K: I
Aaron: myself
Adam K: now I
Aaron: up.
Adam K: wish I had shook his hand and
Adam K: congratulated him on all his
Adam K: smart investments and been like,
Adam K: hey, I
Aaron: Rob.
Adam K: was
Aaron: Just watch.
Adam K: I was I'm a, you know.
Adam K: Yeah.
Adam K: I mean, I just assume he's probably flying first class.
Adam K: I don't know, but he's in the Delta terminal, so it's like, I
Adam K: don't I guess you just assume or he's just, you know, also, he's
Aaron: What?
Adam K: probably just good with his money.
Aaron: Well,
Adam K: He's not like Taylor
Aaron: I
Adam K: Swift blowing
Aaron: do wonder
Adam K: it on
Aaron: sometimes
Adam K: Jets.
Aaron: he would have been famous in the seventies on a hit TV show.
Aaron: Like a like a top hit TV show.
Aaron: And if you're making whatever then and you just put it in the
Aaron: market and then you invest it in perfumes and fab burgers.
Aaron: I guess I don't know.
Aaron: Oh no. Now there's a red update in the middle of the story.
Aaron: It says update.
Adam K: Did his plane go down?
Aaron: No, it says update,
Adam K: Oh.
Aaron: which the updates also today.
Aaron: Uh, the story seems to be false.
Aaron: Read more.
Adam K: Ah!
Adam K: Dang
Aaron: Oh
Adam K: it.
Aaron: the media.
Aaron: Mhm. This is a satire site.
Adam K: Really?
Aaron: God damn it.
Adam K: Oh,
Aaron: This
Adam K: Okay.
Aaron: is horseshit.
Adam K: Damn, I was.
Adam K: I was legitimately feeling good for the guy.
Aaron: This is
Adam K: Well,
Aaron: cruel.
Adam K: thanks for thanks for ruining my day in
Aaron: What
Adam K: the
Aaron: is
Adam K: Bahamas.
Aaron: this?
Aaron: This goes back to, I think, what what I was saying with the the
Aaron: when I wrote the piece last week about the circle jerk.
Aaron: It's like it's not.
Aaron: If you miss the mark of the satire, then it's not funny and
Aaron: it's no good.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: It's just it's just you having fun by yourself.
Adam K: Years ago.
Adam K: Like, this is almost like pre Google.
Adam K: This is when you're using yahoo.
Adam K: I was visiting a cousin and we were trying to get, uh, cheat
Adam K: codes for PlayStation games.
Adam K: And we stumbled on this one site
Adam K: and it was a very early like
Adam K: game game code website sort of
Adam K: thing.
Adam K: And it was user submitted and one guy had went into almost
Adam K: every game and it was always like, it was like NFL game day
Adam K: ninety seven or whatever.
Adam K: And it's like, if you press X thirty two times the, uh, the
Adam K: player shoved the footballs up each other's asses.
Aaron: I
Adam K: And.
Aaron: think I remember this.
Adam K: It was, it was great because it was a serious website and this
Adam K: guy just went in every game.
Adam K: He's like, uh.
Adam K: So in Twisted Metal two, you press up, up, down, down, left,
Adam K: right, up, up.
Adam K: Sweet tooth will put the fire truck up his ass.
Adam K: I, I it slayed me.
Adam K: It was the funniest thing I'd ever seen on the internet.
Adam K: And it's gone forever now.
Adam K: Uh, I think just imagine the guy who ran it was like, what are
Adam K: all these submissions?
Adam K: Uh.
Aaron: Where is that guy who took the time to do all that?
Adam K: I don't know, he's probably working in it and was bored.
Adam K: Like the guy who ran.
Adam K: What was that murder website?
Adam K: Rotten dot com.
Adam K: He was like a Google
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: engineer.
Aaron: Oh,
Adam K: Yeah, that's
Aaron: I
Adam K: what they
Aaron: kind
Adam K: did.
Aaron: of want to I want to, I want to find that guy that did those,
Aaron: the cheat codes.
Aaron: Uh, and
Adam K: I
Aaron: then
Adam K: can't
Aaron: maybe.
Adam K: even remember what the website was, I don't know.
Aaron: You know, maybe I'll talk to, I'll go talk to Maddox to see
Aaron: how he's doing
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: now
Adam K: Well,
Aaron: that everything
Adam K: yeah, I
Aaron: he
Adam K: mean, like.
Aaron: ever wanted came true.
Adam K: He moved to LA.
Adam K: I think he was he came into the machinima office at some point,
Adam K: lost a bunch of weight.
Adam K: I think he kind of got into the LA scene.
Adam K: I don't know, he was doing more video stuff, but um.
Adam K: Oh yeah, I remember because there was this Metal Gear Solid
Adam K: fan film I remember, and our me and my friends would watch it
Adam K: because we would make our stupid, you know, dumb action
Adam K: movies that weren't any better, but we would watch other people
Adam K: and shit on them between, you know, watching Homestar Runner.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: Um, but it was the greatest
Adam K: thing ever because they, they
Adam K: used like special effects and
Adam K: all this other stuff, but they
Adam K: kept calling the bad guys
Adam K: Charlize.
Adam K: And we
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: always laughed at that because like, they just think bad guy
Adam K: soldiers are called Charlize.
Adam K: And then the CGI metal gear they
Adam K: use was just Ed two hundred nine
Adam K: from RoboCop.
Aaron: Uh.
Adam K: And it was just, it was like good bad film stuff.
Adam K: And I was like, oh, this man, I wish I had saved that.
Adam K: Um, because that is probably
Adam K: long gone one, because I think
Adam K: they called it like Metal Gear
Adam K: Solid four or something like
Adam K: that.
Adam K: And then once the new game came
Adam K: out, that immediately got
Adam K: erased.
Adam K: And you know, it was hosted on their own website.
Adam K: This is pre-youtube.
Adam K: So but man, yeah, I'm nostalgic for crap.
Aaron: I was, uh, seeing some posts about why millennials are
Aaron: nostalgic, and, uh, I couldn't finish it, but maybe there was
Aaron: some truth to it with the, the fact of the, uh, longing for the
Aaron: internet was a place that you would go to and not exist in and
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: all this other stuff.
Aaron: But I don't know how much I agree with that, because there
Aaron: was certainly myself and other people I knew, like, yes, it was
Aaron: a place you'd go to, but it was also a place like it was like a
Aaron: vacation home, you know, like you lived in
Adam K: Mhm.
Aaron: it too.
Aaron: You know, it's not like you.
Aaron: It's not like you're like, and I'm done.
Aaron: It's, it's, you
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: know, I guess you didn't carry
Aaron: it around everywhere, but you
Aaron: still, if
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: you were of a certain age, like our age, then you would go in it
Aaron: and cause chaos and do all those sorts of things and it would
Aaron: still be top of mind.
Aaron: We had for we had a forum when I was in high school that we made
Aaron: and hosted, you know, and that's
Adam K: MM.
Aaron: something we would go to all the
Aaron: time, but I don't know if it was
Aaron: just visiting.
Aaron: Maybe it was.
Adam K: The most advanced we had in high school was AOL chat rooms, and
Adam K: we would have to put in our bios who our friends were.
Adam K: It wasn't like Myspace where you could add friends or whatever,
Adam K: and then you'd have that one person be like, why am I not on
Adam K: your friends list?
Adam K: And I was like, it's a long list.
Adam K: I'm sorry.
Adam K: Um, and also, I don't like you because
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: you were mean to me on the football field.
Aaron: There was this girl that, um,
Aaron: like in high school that she had
Aaron: her AIM screen name and to get
Aaron: more friends, she changed it to
Aaron: Cum guzzler.
Aaron: Oh, one or something.
Aaron: And it worked.
Aaron: It's pretty smart.
Adam K: Yeah. Really popular.
Adam K: Uh,
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: featured on To Catch a Predator many times.
Aaron: Mhm.
Adam K: I don't know, that was maybe not your time.
Aaron: Oh, I'm on the way
Adam K: Your
Aaron: back.
Adam K: two.
Aaron: Machine.
Aaron: I'm looking up that forum that I was a
Adam K: Yeah,
Aaron: part of.
Adam K: it's it's
Aaron: See what
Adam K: still
Aaron: see what
Adam K: there.
Aaron: it pulls up.
Aaron: I don't know.
Adam K: Um, well, this has
Aaron: It's
Adam K: been
Aaron: pulling
Adam K: a great
Aaron: pulling
Adam K: talk.
Aaron: something up.
Adam K: Um, you, uh,
Aaron: Oh.
Adam K: you should do some research on nostalgia.
Adam K: Apparently,
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: it's a, it's a survival mechanism that we've developed
Adam K: so that we don't remember the past as being so horrible.
Adam K: And that way we can move forward in a positive way.
Aaron: I know all about nostalgia.
Aaron: I see it when I visit my dad's house, and it's full of all
Aaron: sorts of goddamn junk.
Aaron: I know
Adam K: It's called
Aaron: what
Adam K: hoarding.
Aaron: that coping mechanism is.
Adam K: Yeah. No, it's been weaponized.
Adam K: We're just, uh, we're now just
Adam K: so obsessed with nostalgia that
Adam K: it's circled around itself that
Adam K: we're making a Smoking the
Adam K: Bandit remake.
Aaron: Man. Oh.
Adam K: I
Aaron: The
Adam K: brought
Aaron: forums.
Adam K: it around.
Aaron: Okay, I'm going to I'm
Adam K: Okay,
Aaron: going to look up nostalgia.
Adam K: Okay,
Aaron: No I'm not.
Adam K: well,
Aaron: Um.
Adam K: for for once during this these recordings, I'm actually an hour
Adam K: ahead of you, so I need to go.
Adam K: We didn't
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: talk
Aaron: That's
Adam K: about
Aaron: fine.
Adam K: anything work related or what we're working on.
Adam K: I'm, I'm editing right now on the on the road.
Aaron: Okay.
Adam K: So yeah, I'll I'm going to try to get that done.
Adam K: The, the meta docs, uh, person
Adam K: who sent me the review unit
Adam K: emailed me and said, hey, found
Adam K: your article.
Adam K: You said some really kind things about us.
Adam K: Uh,
Aaron: The mask people.
Adam K: yeah, the mask people, the vodka
Adam K: meta docs, there's all these
Adam K: different names.
Adam K: So, uh, and I said, thank you.
Adam K: I said, I'm, you know, glad you found I didn't send it to him.
Adam K: I was like, uh, good luck.
Adam K: Uh, but I said, I'm making a video right now.
Adam K: I'll send it to you guys when it's done.
Adam K: So,
Aaron: MM.
Adam K: um, but also I was looking into other mouth technology and
Adam K: that's when I found that
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: that tongue controller thing, which is kind of cool.
Aaron: That's pretty fucking cool.
Aaron: I'll
Adam K: I think,
Aaron: be honest.
Adam K: I mean, I, of course I thought it was just like for people to,
Adam K: like, produce music.
Adam K: I was like, what is this like a whatever, like some plug in.
Adam K: And then of course they, they
Adam K: show the uses of like helping
Adam K: disabled people.
Adam K: And I was like, oh, well, of
Adam K: course, but, um, it seems like a
Adam K: great idea.
Adam K: It's probably simpler than, you
Adam K: know, drilling a hole into your
Adam K: head and plugging it into a
Adam K: computer.
Aaron: Except for the
Adam K: MM.
Aaron: like the perv.
Aaron: That's like wagging his tongue at people.
Aaron: And then he's just opening all these windows on his computer
Aaron: inadvertently, just like, ah,
Adam K: Two
Aaron: I
Adam K: things
Aaron: guess
Adam K: can
Aaron: you'd
Adam K: be
Aaron: have.
Adam K: true at the same time.
Aaron: You'd have to see the device to know what I'm talking about.
Aaron: But whatever.
Adam K: Yeah. That's fine.
Adam K: Just look up.
Adam K: What did it what was it called?
Adam K: The, uh.
Adam K: Oh. Mouth guard or mouth pad.
Adam K: Pad.
Adam K: Mouth pad.
Aaron: Mouth
Adam K: Because
Aaron: path.
Adam K: it's like a mouse
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: pad with
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: mouth.
Adam K: If the mouth pad.
Adam K: You
Aaron: And
Adam K: just
Aaron: you
Adam K: have
Aaron: can't
Adam K: to
Aaron: talk
Adam K: say it like
Aaron: while
Adam K: you're
Aaron: it's
Adam K: from.
Aaron: in your mouth.
Adam K: Oh, God. No. Well, it's like a retainer.
Adam K: It's just like, sticks in there.
Adam K: Uh, have you looked into getting your eyes fixed?
Adam K: Like, surgically?
Aaron: What?
Aaron: What's wrong with him?
Aaron: Why?
Adam K: You wear contacts.
Aaron: Yeah,
Adam K: So,
Aaron: but
Adam K: like, have
Aaron: what
Adam K: you ever considered
Aaron: seemed
Adam K: Lasik
Aaron: accusatory.
Adam K: or.
Aaron: Yeah, I mean,
Adam K: Oh,
Aaron: yeah.
Aaron: Okay.
Adam K: yeah.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: What stopped you?
Aaron: Um, I forgot.
Aaron: I think that's probably
Adam K: Okay.
Aaron: what happened.
Aaron: Why?
Adam K: I was looking into ortho K, which seemed interesting.
Adam K: Their contacts you wear at
Adam K: night, and then you take them
Adam K: off during the day and they
Adam K: like, they, like, fix your eye
Adam K: shape during the evening, and
Adam K: then you take your contacts out
Adam K: and then you can see during the
Adam K: day.
Adam K: Seem kind of cool.
Aaron: That seems.
Aaron: It seems good in theory, but it
Aaron: seems like you might make you
Aaron: change the shape of your
Aaron: eyeballs.
Aaron: And some doctor goes like.
Aaron: Yeah, we can't fix this.
Aaron: We could have.
Aaron: But now that your eyeballs are shaped like weird eggs, we can't
Aaron: do anything about it anymore.
Adam K: Well, because I got Lasik in my
Adam K: early twenties and I didn't know
Adam K: this.
Adam K: You're supposed to go in for touch ups.
Adam K: No one told me that, so I just
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: assumed my vision was degrading.
Adam K: So I just went back to wearing glasses.
Adam K: And now I'm finding out.
Adam K: Oh, for all those years, I should have been going in and
Adam K: getting them cleaned up.
Adam K: So bully
Aaron: Well,
Adam K: to me.
Aaron: I mostly focused on whitening my
Aaron: teeth, which I just started
Aaron: today.
Aaron: My mouth hurts, so.
Adam K: Have you seen the the gel stuff
Adam K: that you can, like, regrow
Adam K: teeth?
Aaron: Yeah, the Japanese are
Adam K: That's
Aaron: making
Adam K: cool.
Aaron: it.
Aaron: Yeah.
Adam K: Yeah. They're also crashing satellites into ash or.
Adam K: Yeah, asteroids, but you know, and
Aaron: I think
Adam K: they're
Aaron: they're
Adam K: building
Aaron: making
Adam K: a space
Aaron: that
Adam K: elevator.
Aaron: pace.
Aaron: They're making that pace because
Aaron: their entire population is old
Aaron: people now and they need their
Aaron: teeth regrown.
Aaron: It's not like these.
Aaron: All these young people are like, I regrow my teeth.
Aaron: It's all these older people are
Aaron: like, I gotta regrow my teeth,
Aaron: except
Adam K: I think they're
Aaron: in
Adam K: just
Aaron: Japanese.
Adam K: trying to grow people and they're starting with the teeth
Adam K: because that's the hardest part of the body.
Adam K: And then pretty soon they're just going to rub all this gel
Adam K: on people, and then we'll have new people and they don't have
Adam K: to have sex anymore because that's clearly the worst part.
Aaron: Well, Brian Johnson, I think, has got that solved.
Aaron: He's growing himself in a petri dish.
Adam K: Yeah.
Aaron: I actually
Adam K: But he
Aaron: had
Adam K: got
Aaron: this
Adam K: some
Aaron: thought
Adam K: like.
Aaron: about like, if they they created
Aaron: a new Brian Johnson and he came
Aaron: out, but he was like this
Aaron: selfless philanthropist, like
Aaron: this beautiful person, a, a, you
Aaron: know, a Buddha, a type person or
Aaron: whatever.
Aaron: And Brian Johnson hated his guts and was trying to kill him.
Aaron: And it was just this battle, like constantly trying to kill
Aaron: the better version of himself that he just created for parts.
Aaron: And there might be a movie about that, I think, but whatever.
Adam K: Yes, that'll forever play in
Adam K: Your Head, starring Alan
Adam K: Ritchson.
Aaron: Um, it's actually
Adam K: I've
Aaron: the
Adam K: watched
Aaron: Smokey
Adam K: that.
Aaron: and the bandit prequels.
Aaron: They're trying to get Brian
Aaron: Johnson's, uh, petri dish grown
Aaron: body from Colorado back to
Aaron: Florida in forty eight hours,
Aaron: along
Adam K: Okay. The movie?
Aaron: with four thousand eight hundred
Adam K: No,
Aaron: cases.
Aaron: Of course.
Adam K: the movie pitching moment is over.
Adam K: We're done with
Aaron: Okay.
Adam K: Hollywood's dead.
Adam K: You can't make movies anymore.
Adam K: You're gonna have to
Aaron: Okay.
Adam K: make this on your laptop using Runway or Suno or whatever.
Adam K: I'm sorry.
Aaron: Eastbound
Adam K: Anyway.
Aaron: and down.
Aaron: Get that petri dish and shove it.
Aaron: We're
Adam K: Okay,
Aaron: gonna
Adam K: we
Aaron: do
Adam K: have to stop
Aaron: this.
Adam K: recording because I
Aaron: Okay.
Adam K: think my maximum upload speed is like two megabytes, and
Aaron: Okay.
Adam K: this
Aaron: Bye
Adam K: is already getting too big by.
Aaron: bye.
Adam K: Uh.
