will be showing you Step Brothers tomorrow night. That's right, your DFW home
of entertainment, Alamo Draft House. I saw they were doing Alamo and I,
oh, look, I ain't going, but I thought of it as
a bet payoff. But it's in La. I think they're doing a Star
Wars. You see that, all nine of them, all nine Star Wars
twenty two hours or something. You basically lived there, You basically moved there.
You have to move in. Yeah for me, Star Wars. People
love Star Wars. Some people get tattoos of both the imperials and the good
guys. I have mad respect for those individuals. Yeah, twenty two hours
of anything in a row. There's trivia in the in the middle. Is
there sleep? When? Does sleep sleep? Whenever? Hayden Christiansen's on your
screen, Hey man, what do you ever do to you? They acted
poorly that's brutal though that I wouldn't do. But I don't know. That's
a party. If you're a big star wars man book a weekend. Your
point of saying that is that we're gonna have fun tomorrow night I have.
It's not like a standard movie experience. No, especially with us, We're
gonna be you know, kind of goofing. You know. Oh, it's
the Alamo experience, Kevin. It's a lot of fun. Come out and
see Mikey through out clever quips during Step Brothers. Yeah, and you'll be
like, man, they should have put that line in there. That's better
than the movie. That was better than the line. Will Ferrell just said,
I'm probably not gonna yell out anything. I bet you do. I
might depends on how many whiskies I have. Yeah, whiskeys. I tickets
at ninety seven one in the Freak dot Com. It's in the Cedars location
of Alma Draft House, so five locations. Again, ninety seven won the
Freak dot Com just seven dollars. Come on, come on, come on,
we want to see you. We're gonna meet you. If we haven't
made you before too, go on. Okay, a couple things in the
Hollywood Round Up one. I know that you guys did not watch, and
I did not expect you guys to watch this, and I don't even know
that I would recommend that you guys watch this. Is it worth watching?
I'll say no, yes for me who grew up with Nickelodeon in my life.
For you guys, Nickelodeon was a small part of your life, I
would imagine, very small. But I like documentaries. I'm going to play
you real quickly here just till about a minute of this. It's a four
episode documentararies that aired on I mean I watched it on Hulu, but it
aired on the ID channel, which is investigative Decision. And look, I
say, this is not your well done HBO documentary, your well done vice
documentary. This is your spare network documentary, good good sales job. But
there's some things in there that are interesting. And they just announced that they
have a fifth episode that will drop on April seventh, because there's more.
And this has been huge discourse or social media, I know for the last
seven to ten days since it's been out. I grew up in with Nickelodeon
mid nineties in small town Texas. You had your Nickeldian kids. You had
your Cartoon Network and you had your Disney Kids. I never had three factions
that you had to join and only yeah, you could be in two.
I was Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. Those are the three tongs of the Cartoon
Network was weird because it was like a lot of Loony Tunes reruns, but
then a few original programs like Jehan Revel. We got the Crips, the
Bloods and Barth's Slimers. Yeah. Basically, honestly, I would call the
Bloods in this case would be Disney. Never got into the Disney stuff,
but I never watched. I was a Nickelodeon kid through and through because we
had all the cartoons that were cool. Doug Yeah and Hay Arnold and rug
Rats, Rent and Stimpy. You had cool game shows. And part of
the reason I'm the game show legend that I am is because I grew up
watching Nickelodeon Game Show. Yeah you're saying that, but it's true. Family
Doubled are legends of the Hidden Temple, Global Guts. I mean, just
incredible stuff, all right, And I'm not naming a million things that were
really good. What they kind of focused on this documentary is the era after
I Got out, and it's more in that very late nineties to mid two
thousands. For instance, Already on a Grande had a show on Nickelodeon,
and she's one of the people and they talk about a little bit. I'm
gonna play you the minute the first about minute or so of this doc though,
and just tell me if you're intrigued, because it's focusing in the beginning
on Dan Schneider, the creator of all this. He had just won a
Lifetime Achievement award at Nickelodeon. Was he created some of these shows, and
it turns out he was a bit of a creep. If you were a
child of the nineties, this is going to ruin that for you. What
do we really know about Dan Schneider? For decades, Dan seemed like he
was untouchable, But around twenty seventeen, the internet videos around Dan really started
gaining momentum. He made them do things that were very weird. There are
all these setups that reference born, like squirting goo on Jamie Lyn's face when
she's just thirteen years old. Feel these kids feet, Wow, they're really
soft. People were looking back at old scenes and saying Dan Schneider is obsessed
with feet. There's one video of Ariana Grande making a joke about a potato.
Sometimes I wonder if you can get juice from a potato? Did that
era on Nickelodeon? Come on, give up the juice? Yikes, I'm
thirsty. In another video, Arion is pouring water on herself in what seems
like a very sexual manner, and people started saying, this feels inappropriate for
children. That's just a small part of this whole thing, because there is
a whole part where there was another guy who is on the set of some
of these shows. His name is Brian Peck, and there is a character.
There's a show on Nickelodeon again, Past My Time JJ. You might
have watched as you watch Drake and Josh. Yeah, Drake Drake Bell is
his name. Dan Schneider helped create Keenan and Kell and all that, like
some of those shows. Did you ever see Ahead of the Class? I
never saw existed, So there's a heavy on Head of the Class. I
recognize this dude big time. He was like, I don't know, famous,
but he was somewhat famous from Head of the Class has a big network.
I knew him as an on camera person based on the pictures that I've
seen since all this stuff's been recently coming out, I was like, yeah,
I think guy's been on something. He's kind of the Lorne Michaels of
Nickelodeon sort of in a way. Well this there's another guy on set named
Brian Peck and Drake Bell was the star of Drake and Josh, and Drake
comes through in episode three and shows up. He had not talked about this
ever, okay, and he was when things were going down. He was
a kid, so his name was never But basically he reveals that he was
abused and assaulted and by this man, by this not Dan Schneider, but
by this other guy named Brian. Yes, yeah, he had an assembly
of bad people that he was surrounding himself with, or at least one other
person. Yes, And there's all I just curious if he like just acted
alone and everybody else was just kind of like this is weird, but he's
the boss. Well, this is where it gets confused because Drake Bell even
says he goes, Dan Schneider's like the one guy that had my back at
Nickelodeon, Like no one else like believe me. Of course, he didn't
talk to a lot of people about it, but he at a young age
was getting abused by a higher up, powerful figure. Now it's very tricky
with Drake Bell because Drake Bell himself, as I mean he was his early
thirties, has accusations of texting fifteen year olds girls. So it's very but
it's the first time Drake Bell had ever talked about this, and I do
wish it was done a little bit better like an HBO documentary, because there
are parts of it where I just go, Okay, I'm trying to figure
out, like, who's like disgruntled ex employe? What is real? Some
of it's very clearly real. So where does it all stand with this guy?
Is he being damage all just kind of this is all being played out
in the court of public opinion, or is there any any rests made or
civil suits? Or he issued a statement saying that he's learned a lot.
He does regret asking you know, his coworkers to give him neck massages and
things like that. Meanwhile, you have all these people who were kids at
the time going yeah, he would always ask us to give him neck massages.
I mean, dude, the jokes are so telegraphed you could see it,
and you could see how if you were twelve, you wouldn't know that
this was a joke for a kid. The scene they mentioned was Britney Spears's
little sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, and he's just like a tube explodes in
her face, all set up like that, a lots of feet stuff like
why is Arion and Grande at thirteen shoving her foot into her mouth pouring water
all over her face like it's very obvious. Their main scene though, too,
we were talking about was Amanda Bines in the hot tub with then Schneider.
Yeah there's a scene, yeah, yeah, they go they get it
to Amanda Bines falling apart and things like that. But there's another one.
Her name is Jeanette McCurdy. She was on some show with the I think
she was on the show with Ariana Grande. I believe I don't really know
this again, that the trick gets past my time and there's another episode coming
and apparently she might be involved in it because she wrote a book about her
time. Again. Drake's stuff though, like the worst stuff on there is
like this other guy and this other guy named Brian Peck who assaulted Drake Bell
for years. It's really sad about that is at the time that he went
to court for this in like twosy and four, they had you know,
when the letters are written, you know to the judge. It's kind of
like James Marsden, Tarren Killham who used to be on SNL. God,
there's a few others. Alan Thick, a couple of members of Boy Meets
World cast are all writing I er saying no, Brian Peck would never do
that. There's like, there's no way, this is not the Brian I
know. He would never And Drake Bell's like telling you like, no,
like this happened to me. I'm talking like inserting objects. I mean,
it's all bad, dude, it's so bad. That's all very tricky,
not all obviously his actions. And that's okay only because you're in the room.
If one of y'all got accused of something, I would immediately, if
asked, write a letter saying I don't believe that that person would do that,
right, or the person that I know, right, I've never seen
any evidence of I would confidently do that, and then if it gets proven,
I'm a bad person. Yeah, I don't the correlation. I don't
know if it makes you know. I mean, the truth is, I
don't know everything about y'all's two existence, right, you know you multiplicit right,
different versions of of ourselves and depending on the circumstances, depending on the
people were around. I'm not to say that we all have like these really
really evil dark secrets and and facades that we carry on and you know,
in the shadows. But but I would confidently write that letter for you too.
I would too, but and then I would years later, twenty years
later, I would be judged he was a supporter of Kevin Turner. Write
that letter after all that has already came out, like all the details all
you was still writing letter. This was like, since like this is when
all of the details already came out, stay out of it. Yeah,
if yeah, don't make a comment at all. Yeah, right, it's
like it's the Ashton Coucher. Just dealt with this with with Danny Masterson on
that seventy show, you know him and him and me lacunas both. But
what if you look me and I are like, dude, this is insane.
I would never and I would believe you because I love you, I
don't and my letter can help you. Yeah. I don't like to talk
about this because it's very close to in the building, right, but back
on the eagle on the you know, but whatever that happened, and everyone,
including the people are on the show town are going on, can you
reset any of that for people who don't know what the hell you're talking about?
Or is it even necessary? I don't think it's necessary. It's probably
not necessary. But I am saying there was a person who worked in this
building and that was involved in some child pee yep, right, and we
all were going, huh what But if I was asked to write a letter
to defend him, No, Ill, you weren't that close. But I
wasn't that close. Yeah, and that's the whole Yeah, but it was
still like desk next to mine. No, that's you know, effing creepy.
I mean, that's nuts. It would you just like to say the
version of that person that I knew, No element of that that version ever
led me to think that they would be involved in something like you could probably
word it, but you never know where you're not vouching for the I'm not
vouching. Yeah, you're right, they're vouching for thee hundred percent of that
person. But I've worked with him every day for ten years and I never
saw anything that I would lead me to believe that that would be true.
But it's also not children's TV we're talking about here too, where you have
a responsibility to protect those kids. Where were the red flag holders when all
of this stuff was being allowed to be televised? There weren't There was a
power person that said, hey, get your foot out of your mouth.
Are you onda? What are you doing? Dude? You can't have kids
doing this stuff. Was it just the fear of the fact that he had
control over there? I don't know financial twenty minutes of this right and I
don't know, and I'm not what's his name, Dan, Dan Schneider.
Okay, if I asked you, what's the worst thing Dan Schneider did,
I mean riding in inappropriate aproprids and with people on set and even with the
Nicolodon writing what he wrote with the kids, Yeah, okay, I mean
was founded on you can't do that on television where slime would dump out,
I mean, making a mess of things is I mean? Hell, the
football games right now, Nickelodeon, they slim the slime wasn't the thing.
No, I know, but that's Nickelodeon is known for being actually pushing and
gross stuff on people. They're they're in my little brother. Yeah, it's
just the way everything is set up. I know. We watched the doc
and look at it and say this is sexual and then show the scene.
Then it's like, okay, yeah. A perfect example of Peck when he's
the pickle boy. First of all, he's a grown man. Why is
he a name pickle boy? And they have a little hole in the bathroom
and he sticks to like that's all yes, Like that is so inappropriate?
How was this played on? On? What I'm saying, this is what
happened twenty seventeen, when me too happened, is when people went back and
found all this and said, we got a case. Who came up with
the idea of slime? Was it Dan Schneider? No, that was who.
You can't do this on television. Everyone got slimed. Where if you
said, okay, I think figure it out and all the games it was
Nickelodeon's thing, like they're so close that much. All right, that's enough
of that. That's quiet. On set the Nickelodion douctmor tell us about The
Gentleman. Yeah, I pitched this one of Danny. It's a Guy Ritchie
TV show that sort of themed after the movie The Gentleman. I love Guy
Ritchie. Netflix. Yeah it's Netflix. You don't have it because you're poor.
Yeah, you don't have it. You need to get your your appliant
situations sorted before you start thinking about that ten dollars a month for Netflix.
I just have other ways of getting around it. I want to discuss with
Danny real quick, and I'm not doing it for the drop. But do
you think Kevin has ever seen the movie Snatch Pleasure? No, I don't.
I don't think he's seen that or lockstock In definitely smoking barrel or not
a big movie guy. So yeah, I've never seen Snatch. No things
have to be in shorter in comments me, I'll fall asleep. Christina hadn't
seen Snatch either, and I think Snatch is one of the most fun,
easy to like movies. Unique as hell, Guy Ritchie. Everything he does
has that Oh married to Madonna by the way in town, formerly married to
talk to Madonna. I actually read an article this week about is Guy Richie,
the most underappreciated director of the last whatever twenty something years, and if
you got in troub Over or something, I don't know, I don't whatever,
but he just has a very creative way of doing things and this if
you liked Snatch or Lockstock or anything he's done, this fits perfectly in it.
And man, I I'm five episodes in and it's fun. It's a
wild ride. Quick throw the subtitles on. It moves fast. This the
British accent accents in this aren't so cloudy and thick that you can't watch it
without subtitles. But it always for some reason, I've just got him locked
and all the time, so everything I'll watch as subtitles. I knew his
Guy Richie, so I knew I need subtitles. And you haven't got the
episode where the Gypsies arrive with okay, and gypsies were a player in Snatch
obviously, Yeah, Brad Pitt's character, yeah, almost undistinguishable as far as
his speech. The bit is that you don't can't understand what they're saying,
so you never understand what kind of deal you're making with the gypsy. Gypsy
not an appropriate term I don't know, but it's fine there. The premise
is basically, and you can learn this from the trailer, it's not a
spoiler. It is about a family, specifically the middle son of this family
who is connected to some sort of British royalty. I believe his father is
a duke, and they've had this home in their family. It's a castle
that is since what the fifteen hundreds, I believe, and this long lineage
of just you know, pure bred British royalty. And this guy works for
a u in and he gets called home because his father is dying. Well,
his father passes away and in the first episode you learned that his father's
secret to him to his kids has been allowing a marijuana grower to work incognito
underneath in this big basement that's been built in the castle. And he collects
about what five million dollars a year from this operation. He just allows it
to happen, no questions asked, leave me out of it. You come
in here, you sell your weed, you make your or you grow your
weed, and then give me my kickback. And basically it's kind of every
one thing that gets screwed up, the over correction to fix the thing that
gets screwed up makes it more screwed up even more. And I'm two episodes
in and man, it's a lot of fun. It's tense, but it's
in that Guy Richie way where there's an element of comedy in it, and
the characters that are in this it's very much like Snatch and Lockstock to where
the peripheral criminal character element in this are so weird yea, and so quirky
and some of them scary. Yes, but it's really funny, fun easy
watch. I think in God, if you love him, you probably already
watched it if you love Guy Ritchie. But uh, if you haven't watched
any which Kevin's in that boat, dude, it's it's probably a good primer
for the style that he does. There's great montages introducing the bad guys.
It's everything about it's fun. They throw up the graphics. They'll do a
freeze and kind of give you a graphic to kind of illustrate what they're talking
about or what's going on. It's very Guy Ritchie. Of course, like
every Guy Ritchie. There's weed, there's boxing, and there's Vinnie Jones appearing
in it. The lead guys THEO June. Yeah, he's THEO James.
He's a white Lotus season three. Yeah, yeah, he's great. He's
a very hot man. Yeah yeah, I don't even know he's British.
It's eight fair eight episodes. I'm assuming it's a limited series, but who
knows, it may be multiple, multiple seasons. Very fun and you need
to watch Snatch. Snatch, you'd love it. There's nothing not to like.
I need more hours in the day. That's down problem drawing a penis
again, watch five seconds of Snatch and a time that took you to draw
that Pepe penis. This is what made this is Jason Stathan pre action.
He's just cool. I've definitely seen the cover of this movie. I'm looking
up with the dog. Yeah, excellent. All right, there you go,
gentlemen, thumbs up. Talk about me. Get to Selena Gomez.
Next. The image going around the world at least our world, next World,
