In this episode, the boys talk about the worst things they've ever seen in movies and TV, and the things that annoy them the most. They also talk about what they would do if they were in charge of a movie studio, and why they think women should be hired to be directors. Also, they talk about why they don't want to see women as directors in movies, and how they think it's a good idea to have more women on sets, because they're better stylists than men. And they discuss the wiggly guy with Parkinson's and his prosthetic leg, and what it means to be wobbly and have a bad leg. And, of course, there's a story about a guy who's got a case of the Wiggles and can't remember his own name, because he doesn't have a leg. And he's not even a comedian, he's just a guy with a good sense of humor, which makes him even funnier.

00:00:56.000And I think it's because they have those at Target and they're probably three bucks.
00:01:00.000And the budget's already, she's already spent the budget because she's terrible at her job.
00:01:04.000And she has to run to Target on the, like, while they're shooting and go grab five of those.
00:01:09.000Or she always has a box of them or something stupid like that.
00:01:12.000They get their budget for the movie, and then they go on a shopping spree, and they buy Brad Pitt an army coat, and they buy some black guy a tracksuit, and it's all brand new, and the t-shirt's blindingly brand new white.
00:02:38.000Someone is pushing a pledge where we want to have 4% of our staff in a movie will be female or 4% of directors.
00:02:47.000Then all these actors are tweeting out, I hereby commit to working with a female director at least 4% of the year or something stupid like that.
00:05:06.000That's a great song, that's a great do-up song.
00:05:08.000Jizz on my pillow, pain in my heart, all for you.
00:05:17.000That's a Motown song about how he misses her so much he fucks his pillow and looks at her picture.
00:05:21.000But by the way, back at my apartment, I live really close to an Italian restaurant, and the music they play is all that shit, and they'll play fucking...
00:05:30.000Earth angel, earth angel, will you be my- Like five times a day.
00:05:36.000So I have to just get out the house sometimes.
00:05:38.000Doo-wop, as an egalitarian, doo-wop sounds racist to me.
00:05:43.000Because it's back when blacks weren't allowed to sing about anything real.
00:05:47.000So the only way they would let blacks on the radio is if they're like, I love my baby.
00:06:33.000I think one of his first ballsy songs was, God bless Miss Black America.
00:06:40.000And that was a very dangerous, contentious thing to do back then.
00:06:45.000I heard a lot of those musicians that are behind, like studio musicians, behind some of the most famous songs, and even the performers themselves, like The Temptations, they would get screwed non-stop.
00:11:40.000So the reason I was thinking this too, because I was at the gym and they were playing, it's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll, ACDC jam.
00:12:37.000There are exceptions to the general rule.
00:12:39.000But my gut tells me that back in the day, the stylists tend to be gay men.
00:12:44.000And my gut also tells me they were better at their job, and they had a big warehouse with like an old pilot's uniform, and some jeans that were worn out, and a leather jacket that was perfectly broken in, that had a tear in it that had been patched.
00:13:56.000You know, Jack Black really pushed, I think he got Led Zeppelin too maybe, but I remember him really pushing to get songs that are rarely sold.
00:14:03.000ACDC are really territorial about their song, their catalog.
00:14:13.000Every time, like put on ACDC, I think they're finally on Spotify, but you're listening to their jams and like, we're on the highway to hell!
00:17:03.000My school of rock beef, my school of rock beef is that the stylist has never heard of rock and she just put on these silly costumes like my mom would do.
00:17:14.000But that's how my mom would dress a rock and roll band with top hats and rubber bands in their hair.
00:17:18.000And ACDC was wrong to give that song to Jack Black because it's the one song out of their whole canon where I go, like, I don't want to hear it anymore.
00:21:10.000And you have these universities that are coming up with reverse affirmative action quotas where Asians are punished and their SATs are reduced in order to get the Asian numbers down.
00:21:35.000Remember that guy we met, and he always bet against, anytime he saw there was a diversity initiative being put across by a company, he would bet against them in the stock market and win.
00:21:48.000Because you're by definition saying meritocracy is second.
00:21:51.000I'm gonna put another feature up above
00:21:56.000Um, the criteria for hiring this person and it's not if they're good or not, it's what race they are, what gender they are.
00:22:03.000And I don't know, man, I did a lot of films.
00:22:05.000I got one that's stuck in the chamber right now.
00:22:11.000I did a movie of, okay I'll talk about it briefly, I did a movie of my book Death of Cool and it's sort of like Animal House in that it could be broken up into episodes and that could be like a TV show or it could be one movie and it's just the book as a movie but there's some legal issues and some
00:23:05.000So I'm going to start doing videos for Rebel as, well, my brother Miles is going to start doing videos for Rebel, and it's to try to undo all the damage I've done.
00:23:14.000So it'll all be very, very Freedom Rider social justice.
00:25:31.000And that was taken to mean, I remember, I think it was Joe Scarborough or something after she said that, he goes, does she know slavery's over?
00:25:37.000We don't own blacks anymore, which is a fucked up thing to say.
00:25:56.000But what she meant was, because everyone gets Trump and Coulter and everyone else in the right wrong, what she meant was
00:26:03.000If you're a black conservative, you've had to fight at Thanksgiving and fight at Christmas, and all your friends go, yo, what the fuck, man?
00:27:45.000But it was also replete with loopholes.
00:27:50.000So yes, they were taxed for this, but they were also allowed to write off their house, their vacations, their boat, their fancy sports cars were all written off by the business, that was the LLC.
00:28:02.000So the actual time, the money they were spending 90% off was just like a tiny portion of their income.
00:28:07.000You'll notice they still lived like kings back then.
00:28:11.000Reagan closed a lot of those loopholes.
00:28:13.000Anyway, my experience with the right, and especially black conservatives, is that they're very familiar with the arguments being thrown at them, and it makes them better at arguing.
00:28:25.000You know, you said it's like diamond sharp, and maybe that's like, you know, they want to kind of debate and spar a little bit, and then you're just so laser, they're like, ow, I don't want to spar with you.
00:29:02.000But, I don't know, the only time they seem to be making sense is when they're discrediting their own party and saying, yeah, we've made a lot of mistakes, and yeah, that wasn't a good look, and yeah, we need to change.
00:29:14.000It's sort of like when the only time moderate Muslims sound sane is when they say, yeah, the Quran has some serious problems with it, yeah, we have a disproportionate number of terrorists, yeah, we need reform.
00:29:29.000But yeah, I remember working on films, and there's all these female PAs.
00:29:36.000They're kind of like bike messengers, where they see themselves as cowboys, like we're a Mad Max group of guys, and they've got their Teva hiking boot shoes.
00:30:59.000And you always see these women, female PAs, almost without exception, they put their back out or they crumple their knee and they're gone, you know, a third of the way through the movie.
00:32:30.000Um, and he, the way he was explaining it to me is he goes, we're like horses, you know, you put in money, you groom us cause you have a big race coming up and why you, you, you've invested in me as a machine.
00:32:44.000And so you want me to be in good shape.
00:32:46.000So you get your money's back when I go fight.
00:32:48.000But when you have these thin little ankles and thin wrists, that's that someone's invested in something and they've lost their money.
00:35:12.000Do you ever meet somebody that you were like, dude, you made an impact on my life and you blew it?
00:35:18.000I'm not a celebrity guy, but one time I was with celebrities at the premiere of the movie One Year, which flopped, and there's a guy there, the big fat guy who plays Larry David's manager.
00:36:02.000And I saw Jeff Garlin there and I've never done this before, since I thought, I'm going to go say hi.
00:36:07.000Cause I had just heard him on this podcast and he was saying some really intelligent stuff about spontaneity and how, you know, when he does stand up comedy, he doesn't ever write jokes.
00:36:16.000He just wings it and sees what happens.
00:36:17.000And sometimes he bombs and sometimes he doesn't, but it's always spontaneous and people shouldn't have scripts.
00:36:22.000That's what he loves about Curb Your Enthusiasm.
00:36:25.000And I kind of, I did an interview later and I copied a lot of his points.
00:39:34.000Well, you have to run to a motherfucker's face, and when you do that over and over and over and over and over and over... He says it about a hundred times.
00:40:12.000So he had this theory that there was this drill going around, this emergency drill near the Lincoln Tunnel, and at the time I had lived around there working at this hostel, and his theory was that it could go live and it could be like a 9-11 fucking attack or something.
00:41:53.000But the other comedian was talking about how he, they have, he met this couple that were in the audience and they have a son that is so severely handicapped that there's only one person who can handle him.
00:42:06.000Like one of those sort of flailing kind of cerebral palsy thing.
00:42:10.000And you know, you have to hold them and stuff, uh, strap them in a chair or whatever.
00:42:14.000So they only get out maybe once a year.
00:42:17.000And then they get out and they hear the word retard a lot and it bums them out.
00:42:23.000And so their one night a year, they go out, they get, they basically are hearing the N word about their black son and it ruins it.
00:42:34.000I did say it once around a handicapped, mentally handicapped person.
00:42:39.000And I felt terrible because I'd said that word around that guy.
00:42:43.000But on the other hand, we always talk about color and how everyone is so sensitive now that it's ruining, it's taking all the fun out of dialogue.
00:42:53.000And we were talking about that Archie Bunker clip.
00:46:12.000Your love of abortion has killed off Down syndrome.
00:46:15.000When I was a kid, they were everywhere.
00:46:18.000Every gang, you'd have like your main guys, your four guys, and then there'd be one five-year-old, because one of your buddies had to bring his little brother.
00:46:27.000That was kind of a pain in the ass, but whatever.
00:48:29.000I'm sure if you put in Zach Galifianakis and that horrible, horrible word, it'll come up.
00:48:35.000But this is what I'm trying to get to, and I know we're running out of time here, but I grew up with listening to punk and hardcore, and it was... Ooh, I say that kind of weird now.
00:53:41.000When the Catholic school thing happened, people were happy, and they thought, good, I have evidence that Trump's America is a racist hellhole.
00:53:56.000I think we listed 15 inconsistencies with his story that make no sense.
00:54:01.000They just said, fuck it, I'm going to make a video saying, I've been listening to your words and I got your back, Jussie.
00:54:08.000Or Kamala Harris, who's going to run for president, just taking it for granted that it happened and saying, this is why we're better than this, America.
00:54:16.000Yeah, we literally are better than this.
00:54:20.000But my problem with people being so petrified of what was normal in Archie Bunker days is you're assuming that Archie Bunker is this looming Ebola virus that could ostensibly wipe us out.
00:55:14.000But people come calling and correct us and remember, that's how we found out that there was more people to arrest Roger Stone than there was to Osama Bin Laden.
00:55:26.000Oh, but did you hear that other thing about Roger Stone?
00:55:28.000When, um, after San Bernardino, the FBI demanded that Apple give them their iPhone passwords so they can get into their iPhones, Apple said, fuck you, and stood by the terrorists, and they just handed over everything to the FBI from Roger Stone.
00:55:45.000So, Roger Stone is now more dangerous than terrorists twice.
00:55:50.000He's more dangerous than Bin Laden, because we had to send more guys to get him, and he's more dangerous than the San Bernardino terrorists, according to our culture.
00:56:14.000Suppose one reads a story of filthy atrocities in the paper.
00:56:18.000Then suppose that something turns up suggesting that the story might not quite be true or not quite so bad as it was made out.
00:56:26.000Is one's first feeling, Oh, thank God.
00:56:29.000Even they aren't quite as bad as that.
00:56:31.000Or is it a feeling of disappointment and even a determination to cling to the first story for the sheer pleasure of thinking your enemies as bad as possible?
00:56:43.000And I think this is the big split in America today.
00:56:57.000They want to de-platform, un-person, and physically harm us.
00:57:02.000They talk about tolerance while wanting to banish us because they see us as intolerant.
00:57:07.000They talk about ending hate when all they talk about is their hatred of conservatives and Trump and rednecks and Republicans and pro-lifers.
00:57:18.000They talk about hating violence when they, in the same breath, they want to punch us all.
00:57:31.000If it is the second, and the second, remember, was a feeling of disappointment that your enemies weren't evil, then it is, I'm afraid, the first step in a process which, if followed to the end, will make us into devils.
00:57:46.000You see, one is beginning to wish that black was a little blacker.
00:57:50.000I wish he hadn't used the metaphor of color, but this was probably back when they were called, when black people were called Negroes and you didn't instantly think of black people when you said black.
00:58:00.000You see, one is beginning to wish that black was a little black, blacker.
00:58:03.000If we give that wish its head, later on, we shall wish to see gray as black, then to see white itself as black.
00:58:10.000And when he says black, he means darkness and negativity.
00:58:14.000Finally, we shall insist on seeing everything, God and our friends and ourselves included, as bad and not be able to stop doing it.
00:58:22.000We shall then be fixed forever in a universe of pure hatred.
00:58:27.000And this is why I call the SPLC a hate group.
00:58:35.000An America rife with hate, and it's just frustrating as an immigrant who came down here because one of the best things about America is that it's so hate-free, is that it's so fun, is that it's so... there's so much liberty, there's so much, I don't know, awesomeness.
00:58:52.000I love Beavis and Butthead and Rodney Dangerfield and Caddyshack.
00:59:09.000And then in the past five years, especially the past two years, they've changed that into America is really a fucking sexist and racist and antisemitic and homophobic and transphobic.
00:59:20.000And when the government has to come in and fix that.
00:59:45.000I mean, people honestly believe, I see them at protests being interviewed, and they believe that we've gone backwards and we're just as racist as we were in the fifties.
