Speaker 1: Dad. You like to drink, so have a drink once
Speaker 1: in a while.
Speaker 2: Have two. If you devote your whole life to completely
Speaker 2: avoiding something you like, then that thing still controls your
Speaker 2: life and you've never learned any discipline at all.
Speaker 3: But maybe I'm just the kind of person who needs
Speaker 3: to have it all or nothing.
Speaker 2: Now, all or nothing is easy, But learning to drink
Speaker 2: a little bit responsibly, that's a discipline. Discipline come from
Speaker 2: within kick as.
Speaker 1: Welcome to Going down to south Park, the podcast where
Speaker 1: we always have ourselves a time and we're here to
Speaker 1: review the finale called a season finale course, the season finale,
Speaker 1: Season Finale, Season finale, the final episode of season nine
Speaker 1: of South Park, one of the more controversial episodes, which
Speaker 1: we'll get into. It's bloody Mary, I'm Dando.
Speaker 4: And guy, Yes, we're gonna have a bloody good time,
Speaker 4: an't it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? As we go down to south Park with this episode,
Speaker 1: what was the old slogan, where the bloody hell are you?
Speaker 1: Is that? Yes, bluddy, how are you? No?
Speaker 4: I was meant to get all men or tourists in
Speaker 4: Australia and ever it was like, oh no, this.
Speaker 1: Is a bit naff. The thing is that Lara Bingle.
Speaker 1: But that's why everyone who doesn't come from Australia thinks
Speaker 1: Australia is like so basically they try to appeal to
Speaker 1: the stereotypes, Like you go to England, it's oh, do
Speaker 1: you want to foster I'm like, I've never even seen
Speaker 1: a fosters, a littlone tasted one, you know. So they
Speaker 1: just have this perception of what Australia is over seas
Speaker 1: and the appeals to that, Oh yeah, yeah, trying to
Speaker 1: get in, like what do you mean as a kangaroos
Speaker 1: in your backyards and stuff? Your Prime Minister doesn't swim
Speaker 1: in a damn.
Speaker 4: I had to wait thirty something years to see a
Speaker 4: kangaroo in an urban environment. I mean I saw I
Speaker 4: saw one hopping down my street in herne Hill, Geelong.
Speaker 4: Was like what the hell? Yeah, I mean that that
Speaker 4: was like a real Twilight Zone moment. But yeah, they
Speaker 4: were very much trying to sell the.
Speaker 1: Whole Oh we're laid back, relaxed, you know, me home
Speaker 1: amongst the gum tree.
Speaker 4: So yeah, well the bloody hell are you? But that
Speaker 4: fizzled out fairly quickly. I mean it had one of
Speaker 4: you wouldn't call Lara Bingal a supermodel, but she was
Speaker 4: very much the sort of the quintessential.
Speaker 1: The supermodel, sixteen year old dannag She was a supermodel,
Speaker 1: for sure. There's supermodels in the super bottel. Yeah, she's
Speaker 1: the one that was with Michael Clark. She bred.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure about that. I know that she's been
Speaker 4: married to Sam Worthington for years.
Speaker 1: Didn't she have an affair? Didn't someone didn't someone famous
Speaker 1: have an affair with her? She was the she was
Speaker 1: the action on the side. I'm pretty sure it was
Speaker 1: Brendan for Vola, the AFL footballer, not Brendan Nana the podcast.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, don't talk about that. Let's talk for
Speaker 1: Vola Bingle before we get into our Bloody Mary review. Yes,
Speaker 1: let's devastating Lara Bingle portrayal. Yeah it was Brendan Favola.
Speaker 4: Okay, then yeah, that show was just poor taste on
Speaker 4: Lara Bingles park because you know, not no oil.
Speaker 1: Painting, good footballer. Fine, I guess give Bluddy Mary. So,
Speaker 1: as I said, one of the more controversial ones, which
Speaker 1: we'll get into, but I just want to start off.
Speaker 1: I say it's not very often that I get emotional
Speaker 1: watching south Park, right, you know South Park. It sparks,
Speaker 1: sparks emotion in you with it. It's zaniness and it's
Speaker 1: wackiness in the way it appeals to what was your
Speaker 1: touchy themes and whatnot. But I thought the ending of
Speaker 1: this one was so sweet in a sense of it
Speaker 1: can be applied to many things. So the story here
Speaker 1: is that Randy gets caught for drink driving and gets
Speaker 1: sent to AA and I like this angle of well,
Speaker 1: not an alcoholic. I just made a bad decision, which
Speaker 1: was discussed that theme as well. But it's a case
Speaker 1: of you are able to control this. It's space jam
Speaker 1: methodology with the with the special stuff. It's like you
Speaker 1: did it yourself, it wasn't God. You have it in
Speaker 1: you to stop. And it's like, well stop drinking all together,
Speaker 1: and stands like, no, no, no, you don't have to stop
Speaker 1: drinking because if you if you eliminate it from your life,
Speaker 1: then it's still controlling you in a way. It's all
Speaker 1: about I won't say the accent, but discipline. I was
Speaker 1: going to use that.
Speaker 4: I was going to use the accent all the way through.
Speaker 1: Well they do, isn't it discipline? Rack, discipline, work, discipline, right,
Speaker 1: And he's basically saying that you can have these vices
Speaker 1: in your life, but you're going to learn to control them.
Speaker 1: Have them. What's what's what was Nicolaus say, in moderation,
Speaker 1: in moderation, Yes, so you can have in moderation, shot,
Speaker 1: you can have hot chips in moderation. And as I say,
Speaker 1: it can be applied to eating because I've been trying
Speaker 1: to like not eat deep fried foods and cut out sugar.
Speaker 1: And it's like, you know what, No, it's okay, do
Speaker 1: you have sugar in moderation of up, But it's up
Speaker 1: to you to be able to do that. Some people
Speaker 1: obviously don't have the ability to do so. And you
Speaker 1: know that's where alcoholism comes into it and whatnot. But
Speaker 1: it's I just thought, you know what, it's sort of
Speaker 1: changed my perspective. I've been trying to eat healthy recently.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I will treat myself because I've I deserve
Speaker 1: to treat myself. If you don't treat yourself at all, ever,
Speaker 1: then it's still controlling you.
Speaker 4: Well, that's the release, that's the pressure of alves. You
Speaker 4: need to let up a little steam every once in
Speaker 4: a while because eventually have a blowout a six pack
Speaker 4: of Tenders or a six pack of beer or whatever,
Speaker 4: because otherwise you have that blowout and then you feel
Speaker 4: even worse.
Speaker 1: You need to do that. Or maybe that's how my
Speaker 1: brain works, Yes, exactly, but it's horses for course.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I found this episode really interesting because, as I've said,
Speaker 4: I liked it. I'm a perpetual fence sitter now I'm
Speaker 4: very much of This is a really good example of
Speaker 4: matt and tre pro personal responsibility message, which they push
Speaker 4: a whole lot.
Speaker 1: I do a lot.
Speaker 4: It is really their guiding ethos.
Speaker 1: I come back to the Rob Ryiner episode I think
Speaker 1: is a good one of that, where it's all about
Speaker 1: it's your control. You're in control of all this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, some people, whether by virtue of their brain chemistry
Speaker 4: or whatever. I don't want to say some flaw in
Speaker 4: their character because that's passing judgment.
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. But I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: looking up at your bookshelf, for instance, and.
Speaker 4: There's a copy of Matthew Perry's autobiography, and yeah, he
Speaker 4: basically talks about addiction as a desertion she gave me
Speaker 4: I And you know he does it in such an eloquent,
Speaker 4: eloquent and sort of heartfelt way. It's like I'm buying
Speaker 4: that this guy wants to stop. I mean, he says
Speaker 4: he would give up all the riches, all the fame,
Speaker 4: all that stuff to be rid of this desire, this
Speaker 4: compulsion to tamp down these demons with the help of drugs, booze,
Speaker 4: what have you. I believe him in that regard. I mean,
Speaker 4: when an episode like this says no, no, it's all
Speaker 4: in your it's all in your mind and it's all
Speaker 4: under your control, it's sort of painting it as a
Speaker 4: moral weakness, which is something I'm not exactly a fan.
Speaker 4: I get the whole pro responsibility thing, and it is
Speaker 4: something I actually believe in.
Speaker 1: So that's where I find this upsetting on the fence.
Speaker 1: So I had, I won't say issues with this episode.
Speaker 4: I found it really entertaining, kind of funny in a
Speaker 4: lot of ways. And because that final message that Stan
Speaker 4: is talking about, that whole thing about no, you like
Speaker 4: to drink, have a drink everyone, So some people aren't
Speaker 4: able to, and some people just aren't able to no
Speaker 4: matter how hard they try. Yeah, So I was actually
Speaker 4: reading a Reddit thread about this episode. He said, look,
Speaker 4: it wasn't necessarily my thing, but I think they got
Speaker 4: a lot wrong talking about A and sort of presenting
Speaker 4: it as a cult and certainly presenting it mocked it,
Speaker 4: they really did. Yeah, and that's something that Parker and
Speaker 4: Stone do as well. I don't think they're fans of
Speaker 4: organized religion, and certainly not the cult like aspect that
Speaker 4: a lot of organized religions can take.
Speaker 1: I think they were using it for their joke of
Speaker 1: Randy isn't an alcoholic, he just made a bad choice.
Speaker 1: But still, in doing so, you really made AA meetings
Speaker 1: look ridiculous. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And the way that you're presenting all these AA people
Speaker 4: is either pathetic as yeah, just by virtual of the
Speaker 4: way that they were drawn and voiced, as well as
Speaker 4: the things that they were saying. I mean, they will
Speaker 4: all kind of schlubby.
Speaker 1: And they did the can you voice when someone's a
Speaker 1: bit pathetic, as you said, pathetic, yeah, or just like
Speaker 1: I'm just having a great time drink a lemonad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like, well you're clearly not having any clue, clear
Speaker 1: not having a good time. Yeah. I've found that rubbed
Speaker 1: me the wrong.
Speaker 4: Way a little bit, shall we say. Having said that,
Speaker 4: mostly enjoyed the episode. I've got all this, I've got
Speaker 4: all the bad stuff out of my system that I'm
Speaker 4: so I'm killed.
Speaker 1: As someone who isn't religious, I don't get I do,
Speaker 1: and I don't I get the controversy here, and they
Speaker 1: wouldn't want their beloved figure depicted it in such a
Speaker 1: ridiculous way. Yeah, well we'll talk it. Yeah, Virginiy iconography
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, but I'm watching this going this is
Speaker 1: so absurd. I don't think you could honestly believe that
Speaker 1: anyone's watching this thinking taking it seriously either. But in
Speaker 1: saying that it's your beloved figure being represented in such
Speaker 1: a ridiculous way.
Speaker 4: There is that certainly. I mean, as with anything in life,
Speaker 4: you've got varying degrees of how you feel about things, right,
Speaker 4: I mean I was raised Catholic, and I still consider
Speaker 4: myself Catholic to some degree.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, there'll.
Speaker 4: Still be times and I was sort of going to
Speaker 4: do the side of the Christ when I'm about to
Speaker 4: take a big risk on something or whatever. It's like
Speaker 4: the toilet or actually when I'm leaving the house, respectacles, testicles,
Speaker 4: all that kind of stuff. I had no issue whatso
Speaker 4: whether with the betrayal or depiction of the Virgin Mary
Speaker 4: in this. My feeling on this, and it's it's sort
Speaker 4: of aligns with the whole pro personal responsibility thing is like,
Speaker 4: and I'm not saying, oh, this was disrespectful to the
Speaker 4: Virgin Mary or you know this.
Speaker 1: Icon of the Catholic Church.
Speaker 4: It's more like, your disrespect of this and that's quote
Speaker 4: marks around disrespect, by the way, does not negate my again,
Speaker 4: quote marks respect for it. If you feel strongly about it, fine,
Speaker 4: that's your thing. Go with God. As they say via condos,
Speaker 4: where I was like, Okay, well you don't feel the
Speaker 4: same way I do. That's cool. I'm not about to
Speaker 4: push my beliefs on you, just as I was hoping
Speaker 4: you were not about to push your beliefs on me.
Speaker 1: Because were they in any way? They weren't really mocking
Speaker 1: the religion, were they. They were just it was sort
Speaker 1: of almost just sort of using her as a symbol for.
Speaker 4: Any kind of snake oil cure, yeah, I think, or any.
Speaker 1: Sort of quick searching for a miracle. Yeah yeah, with
Speaker 1: the mord Flanders the gas leak, yeah yeah, I mean.
Speaker 4: It goes back to whole the whole personal responsibility things.
Speaker 4: You are responsible for your decisions and direction you take
Speaker 4: in life. Maybe don't go to a Virgin Mary. That's
Speaker 4: a bleeding out of its butt, but apparently well known.
Speaker 1: But that's what it was intended to be. It was
Speaker 1: meant to be shitting on the face of people. That's
Speaker 1: where it was implying with the visuals. And then you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: it wasn't okay, But so here's the controversy. So the
Speaker 1: episode was aired on December seventh, two thousand and five,
Speaker 1: which is the eve of the Feast of the Imaculate Conception.
Speaker 1: Do you want to explain it? That is to listeners in
Speaker 1: what I know? I've died. I don't know myself. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I thought you might know, okay, because you're
Speaker 1: there's a feast, because you're a Catholic, I thought you
Speaker 1: might Okay.
Speaker 4: It celebrates We've got a lot of holidays.
Speaker 1: It celebrates the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Speaker 1: on eighth of December, nine months before the feat of
Speaker 1: the Nativity of Mary on eighth of September. It is
Speaker 1: one of the most important feasts in the calendar of
Speaker 1: the Latin Church. Okay, so there's that get this is
Speaker 1: for real sort of diodes. Yeah, a Catholic observance related
Speaker 1: specifically to the Virgin Mary. Bloody Mary was considered a
Speaker 1: very controversial episode, even by south Park standards. In the US.
Speaker 4: I'm just look at them poking Catholics in the eyebar, like,
Speaker 4: we're not just going to do this episode, We're going
Speaker 4: to air it on this particular Yeah, okay, Da and Matt,
Speaker 4: you scamps.
Speaker 1: In the US, the Catholic League demanded an apology and
Speaker 1: that the so be permanently retired and not be made
Speaker 1: available on DVD. I love that idea of if something
Speaker 1: of David a you're never going to see it again
Speaker 1: unless you because that's how it used to work. Things
Speaker 1: went released on physical media and they weren't allowed to
Speaker 1: re air something. You have to find bootleg tapes of
Speaker 1: people who at the time, and it made it even
Speaker 1: more special. Oh yeah, when he's like I've got a
Speaker 1: copy of it's like, oh, ship.
Speaker 4: Trading, you're saving the little batch of vhs in there.
Speaker 1: Someone's written on It's like bloody Mary south Park. A
Speaker 1: board member of the Viacom, Joseph Califano Junior Califano Junior.
Speaker 1: It's a very catholic sounding that. Yeah. The parent company
Speaker 1: of Comedy Central, and a practicing Catholic, issued a personal statement.
Speaker 1: He did later release a statement call in the episode
Speaker 1: an appalling and disgusting betrayal of the Virgin Mary, and
Speaker 1: pledged to have it reviewed by Viacom's president and CEO,
Speaker 1: Tom Freston. It seems like a lot of hoopla, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, over a TV episode. I just don't know
Speaker 1: whether this would happen anymore. You get like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you'd have a few people angry on like Twitter, and
Speaker 1: there'd be a few new stories saying fans are outraged
Speaker 1: by this, and then new cycle's over and it's onto
Speaker 1: another thing.
Speaker 4: In all, honestly, you know, paramount of Comedy Central, who
Speaker 4: or whoever would probably gin up the drama themselves, because
Speaker 4: we are living in the attention economy.
Speaker 1: But the idea of banning an episode, it just wouldn't happen.
Speaker 1: It couldn't happen anymore. He could not, in today's word,
Speaker 1: he couldn't ban it. No life finds away, Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: torrents find a way. I was talking the other day
Speaker 1: to somebody about the price of streaming services and whatnot.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I think we're about to see
Speaker 1: the revival of torrents. Like there's always pirates have still existed,
Speaker 1: but it used to be I downloaded is down, and
Speaker 1: people just like that is don't downlat Anymorecau's just easily
Speaker 1: accessible on streaming services. But now people are like, it
Speaker 1: really costs a lot of money. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it costs a lot of money. And they're putting ads
Speaker 1: and they're putting ads into it. It's like, this is TV,
Speaker 1: but I'm paying for TV. Yeah, I think people are
Speaker 1: going to go is Pirate Base still a thing? Pirate
Speaker 1: Base like the Boys? The answer is yes it is,
Speaker 1: and buckle down, boys, We're back in business. Time to
Speaker 1: sell the high season once again. Like Trratton the Closet.
Speaker 1: The episode Bloody Mair did return to the air, appearing
Speaker 1: on August seventh, two thousand and six, so they did
Speaker 1: take it off rotation for a while.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, look, I mean the the Catholics have got
Speaker 4: a bit of power. Yeah in the US, the church
Speaker 4: has got a bit of power worldwide.
Speaker 1: Still in New Zealand. In February two thousand and six,
Speaker 1: leaders from the New Zealand Catholic Bishop's Conference, the Council
Speaker 1: of Christians and Muslims and other religious Groups's sound like
Speaker 1: a super team? What is it? Back? Did that themselves?
Speaker 1: They literally did. Yeah, they lobbied together. They lobbied the
Speaker 1: media conglomerate to can West to stop a planned airing
Speaker 1: of the episode in New Zealand on the music channel
Speaker 1: Sea four. The network rejected the plea and said that
Speaker 1: the episode would air as planned. Leading Catholic bishops then
Speaker 1: called for a boycott of Sea four and assisted network
Speaker 1: TV three. Can West again resisted and aired the episode
Speaker 1: sooner than planned. Oh to take advantage of the media attention.
Speaker 1: See that's what you do. That is what you do.
Speaker 1: New Zealand's Minister Halen Clark issued a statement saying the
Speaker 1: episode sounded revolting, but that the network was free to
Speaker 1: air it. One advertiser withdrew their ads from the network.
Speaker 1: Catholic group Family Life International, set up a website for
Speaker 1: boycotting other advertisers. Another company named C for Productions, which
Speaker 1: has no links to the c FORMSSA channel, applied to
Speaker 1: a core order on the eve of the air and
Speaker 1: to stop the episode, citing damage to its business because
Speaker 1: it thought people would link it to their channel. That
Speaker 1: judge ruled against the order. What a drama, isn't it?
Speaker 1: It is?
Speaker 4: But this is how a functioning sort of I guess
Speaker 4: democracy should work. It's like, okay, we're gonna air this.
Speaker 4: I don't think you should fine say your piece. You know,
Speaker 4: if you're a business.
Speaker 1: Please your case.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you're a business that finds this repellent or disgusting,
Speaker 4: pull your advertising.
Speaker 1: That's fine.
Speaker 4: And then that's yeah, that's how the free market works
Speaker 4: as well as like enough people do. That's like, all right, well,
Speaker 4: it sounds like there are a lot of people out
Speaker 4: there who don't like this or this is going to
Speaker 4: be damaging to our bottom line.
Speaker 1: C four air the episode on February twenty second, two
Speaker 1: thousand and six, and drew two hundred and ten thousand viewers,
Speaker 1: which apparently was six times South Park's normal audience in
Speaker 1: the country. So only thirty thousand people were watching south
Speaker 1: Park at this point. Maybe mental right, Sure, thirty five
Speaker 1: thousand people watch South Park. I can't I'm wondering how
Speaker 1: many people.
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, it's the population New Zealand reve
Speaker 4: relatively Australia or anywhere else. And secondly, you know what's
Speaker 4: airing on what see what's Sea four.
Speaker 1: The thing is, though, this is the era of torrents.
Speaker 1: We're just mentioning torrants, right and this is five months
Speaker 1: after the episode aired. Okay, South Park fans were torrenting
Speaker 1: the shit out of that episode. Good point, they weren't
Speaker 1: waiting for it to air. Yeah. Yeah, so it got
Speaker 1: six times a normal audience and received After receiving one
Speaker 1: hundred and two formal complaints from viewers, the network issued
Speaker 1: a statement a month later saying, the seafall acknowledges the
Speaker 1: strength of feeling in relation to the program, and we
Speaker 1: sincerely apologize for any offense taken. Better apologize.
Speaker 4: Well, the horse is well and truly bothered. So you know, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: what's that?
Speaker 1: What's that? Lines like it? Better better to better to
Speaker 1: apologize later, Yeah, forgiveness and ask for permissions it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's how I that's my mentality. I know you're offending
Speaker 1: people all the time. And in Australia, in February two
Speaker 1: thousand and six, Archbishop Dennis Hart in Melbourne, Australia, down
Speaker 1: the Road wrote to television network SBS asking them not
Speaker 1: to air the episode. The network's programming director originally rejected
Speaker 1: the request, but later decided to postpone the episode, citing
Speaker 1: the controversy over the Muhammad cartoons. So they must have
Speaker 1: been going on that episode must have come out and
Speaker 1: caused chaos anyway. The episode was, however, shown on the
Speaker 1: Comedy Channel on August thirtieth, two thousand and six. Almost
Speaker 1: were almost the year behind. Maybe they delayed it, that's why. Yeah,
Speaker 1: could be so we didn't get it. We didn't get
Speaker 1: it on TV what eight months? Nine months later?
Speaker 4: Yeah, but where it used to be in the early
Speaker 4: early twenty first cent.
Speaker 1: Yes, but a lot of drama. But that's what But
Speaker 1: this is the thing. Did they need to be using
Speaker 1: the Bloody Mary? The only real reason they used the
Speaker 1: Bloody Mary is because they wanted to get this reaction.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely.
Speaker 4: I mean, look, we're nine seasons into South Park, but
Speaker 4: they're still you know, there's cheeky little lads. They're still provocateurs,
Speaker 4: their storytelling chops are definitely evolving. Their status within industry
Speaker 4: is definitely rising. But they've also built their brand on
Speaker 4: light and fires and they've done that here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've got to get that reputation furnished. It must
Speaker 1: be exhausting, don't you reckon having to keep up that
Speaker 1: reputation if you established for yourself. I mean you built
Speaker 1: a billion dollar empire around it. But it's like, how
Speaker 1: do you? And I think that's why they fall into
Speaker 1: the truck doing the Trump stuff, because it's like what
Speaker 1: else could they possibly do to get people talking? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I mean here's the thing to me, Parker and
Speaker 4: Stone are as we said in their fifties.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I say, this is someone in the fifties. I'm tired.
Speaker 4: I can't be I can't be asked being provocative.
Speaker 1: What's the Simpsons thing? Star Trek so very tired And
Speaker 1: I was like thirty years ago, see Shatton to put
Speaker 1: it thing out of ninety five and he's out smoking
Speaker 1: a cigar. I know, he looked great. It looks like
Speaker 1: he's sixty. He looked really good. He looked really well. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: good good one big bill. Yeah. Maybe going to space
Speaker 1: like maybe just like Dasian a bit goold. Well. Look,
Speaker 1: it made him see life different than you could tell
Speaker 1: when he got back. He Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 4: You heard so many people saying, oh, so many people
Speaker 4: have gone up into space and looked like, oh.
Speaker 1: Well, I realized that, you know, we're all part of
Speaker 1: one big community here.
Speaker 4: We got to start to look at come on people,
Speaker 4: now smile on your brother and shatnows came back and
Speaker 4: list this sucks man. Yeah, we're alone at the universe,
Speaker 4: one of this deep existential funk.
Speaker 1: By the way, so the story here of Randy, we
Speaker 1: mentioned how he got corpate drink driving. Apparently this really
Speaker 1: happened to Trey when he was nine years old. This
Speaker 1: is pretty much evaidivele way. Oh my gosh, she's dad
Speaker 1: got done for drink driving. Where the kids are in
Speaker 1: the car when he was nine. Mister Parker, mister Parker,
Speaker 1: what are you doing good? Have you ever been in
Speaker 1: the car when you're like a parents always been pulled over? No?
Speaker 1: Oh oh when pulled over? Yeah? Absolutely once I have.
Speaker 1: Once my dad was doing like sixty five and a
Speaker 1: sixty zone and it was just so weird. I think
Speaker 1: because it stuck with me is because my dad's always
Speaker 1: been a very like gruff, you know, tough guy, and
Speaker 1: just seeing him become this yes epicode.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, like Randy mister knows how to deal. Yeah,
Speaker 4: But well dad was a speeder. I mean dad had
Speaker 4: a real foot.
Speaker 1: Bobby demon Oh yeah, I was able to get away
Speaker 1: with it.
Speaker 4: Clicks Bobby, Well he get pulled over and then it'd
Speaker 4: be like maybe so Bobby, Yeah, I think I think
Speaker 4: if he was really pushing it, then you know, he'd
Speaker 4: get a ticket or something like that.
Speaker 1: Did if you're on the charm? Did your dad wouldn't
Speaker 1: know how to put on the charm? Right? Absolutely? He
Speaker 1: was charming twenty four cents. Yeah, I don't imagine the Yeah,
Speaker 1: just sitting in the back and going, my dad, can
Speaker 1: we t him all to have to speed? Yeah, which
Speaker 1: I did do. I was going to say, do you
Speaker 1: think that you when you were a teenager you sort
Speaker 1: of felt inclined, well, my dad can get me out
Speaker 1: of stuff, did you know idea? No?
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: No, maybe maybe now. The idea for the Virgin Mary
Speaker 1: apparently came from a member of the staff. Did you
Speaker 1: read this? Have I read this or heard about this?
Speaker 1: Tell me more? They're joking. The commentary the bleeding statue
Speaker 1: idea came from Anne Garriffino, a producer on the show
Speaker 1: who was Catholic and was inspired by the real life
Speaker 1: phenomenon of the weeping statutes, because usually they're crying. To
Speaker 1: explain the weeping statue concept, is they bleeding on their eyes?
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're either weeping or they've got the stigmata, which
Speaker 4: are the christ wounds in the palm?
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is the Is it the Life of Prayer
Speaker 1: film clip that had a lot of issues because it
Speaker 1: was a bleeding statue or was it just the black Jesus.
Speaker 1: You're going to have.
Speaker 4: People saying it was because of cathletic iconography.
Speaker 1: It's because Jesus was black, is what it was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when people were willing to say that, they were using
Speaker 1: a different excuse. People just racist. Yeah, people just say shit.
Speaker 1: Speaking of just saying shit, favorite moments from this episode,
Speaker 1: mister David, that's.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I already I've already dropped one, which is I
Speaker 4: know how to deal His deal is very relatable.
Speaker 1: That kind of what seems to.
Speaker 4: Be the problem you really seems to be the opposite problem,
Speaker 4: of course. Yeah, but you really put it. I mean
Speaker 4: you've done this, I'm sure. I mean you've been pull
Speaker 4: over and get yeah, and you put it in your game.
Speaker 1: Be polite. One thing I've always I've always say this
Speaker 1: to the kids, I'd tell you to the kids all
Speaker 1: the time. Manners will get you everywhere.
Speaker 4: Of course, no, I've said this to anyone who I've
Speaker 4: even the slightest bit of influence on or authority over.
Speaker 1: It's like, be one man it, yeah, be one man,
Speaker 1: because I used to be well managed. Like the bosses
Speaker 1: at Forward and what they go, are you kiss us?
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm just being polite. Yeah, there's a difference
Speaker 1: between kissing us. But if you want to see any
Speaker 1: kiss uses, puck her up, pucker upup. But the thing
Speaker 1: is I'm the kissing us. I'm just being polite, Like
Speaker 1: what are you asking?
Speaker 3: How?
Speaker 1: They're asking how they go and kiss us? I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm asking out he's going, there's a reason you've been
Speaker 1: stuck in this spot.
Speaker 4: That is because you're walking around you think you're better
Speaker 4: than me, but we're pretty much on the same level.
Speaker 4: Or Yeah, I'm trying to sort of establish a bit
Speaker 4: of a.
Speaker 1: Just report manners, we'll get you over.
Speaker 4: But the other thing is, I mean, I know there's
Speaker 4: a lot of like all crops of barses and deep
Speaker 4: under police and.
Speaker 1: All that kind of shit. I don't think we'd really
Speaker 1: do that in the sty so much. I think that's
Speaker 1: not a lot of bleed over me. We do get
Speaker 1: some smart asses, but of course you do.
Speaker 4: But the majority of cops are just you know, people
Speaker 4: doing their job. Yeah, but particularly with like traffic.
Speaker 1: Cops and yeah that so I mean, what the fuck
Speaker 1: do you pull me up? Well? You if you start like,
Speaker 1: I guarantee that ticket, dickhead. I love when you watch
Speaker 1: the Highway Patrol and they just start off like that,
Speaker 1: and you're like, what are you doing? Like, even when
Speaker 1: you get the smart ass cops right, if you're polite
Speaker 1: to them, they usually go they usually tone it back
Speaker 1: because they go, Okay, you know, you're not a dickcad.
Speaker 1: Sometimes they are smart asses because they want you to
Speaker 1: get to The reactions just sort of justifies I'm going
Speaker 1: to give you a ticket now. But when you when
Speaker 1: you're the body game on on what's what's it called
Speaker 1: Highway Patrol Patrol? Sometimes you watch it and there is
Speaker 1: one there's one guy. It nois Nikola to nowhere because
Speaker 1: when he talks people, he looks away like this when
Speaker 1: he's talking to you, Nicholas, like, just look at them,
Speaker 1: Why are you looking away? He's like, yeah, you thought
Speaker 1: you're pretty funny, didn't you. Yeah, he's one of those
Speaker 1: kinds of cops, right, just playing it up for the TV.
Speaker 1: But sometimes the people who are just like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I've got no excuse. I just made them
Speaker 1: own choice. It's just like, don't do it again? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well that sorry, I'm really sorry. What was if? If
Speaker 1: it's obvious what you were doing wrong? Cop to it?
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you're not sure to say I actually you
Speaker 4: do the rams? Is there a problem?
Speaker 1: Off?
Speaker 4: Sorry, what's the problem? And not like what's the problem? Like, sorry,
Speaker 4: what I do?
Speaker 1: So I know? Not to do it again?
Speaker 4: Sometimes yeah, And that's that's not being a suck up.
Speaker 4: But it's not sort of being a being a child.
Speaker 4: It's just like all right, well go along to get along. Sometimes,
Speaker 4: I've said on the podcast before. He's passed away now
Speaker 4: is Gary Edmondson. He was one of my bosses at
Speaker 4: Ford passed away when I'm working Afford. So the best
Speaker 4: advice I've ever been given was by him, and he said,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna give you a bit of advice now that
Speaker 4: will because it he gets it's going to happen and
Speaker 4: how you deal with it is going to dictate what
Speaker 4: happens going forward. He goes, if you fuck up, if
Speaker 4: you make a mistake, you tell someone straight away and
Speaker 4: you own up to it. Don't try and cover up
Speaker 4: mistakes anywhere in life. If you fuck up, make a
Speaker 4: mistake and own up to it, the punishment would be
Speaker 4: far less.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, because if you try cover it up and
Speaker 1: they catch you out for line, then you're fucked that
Speaker 1: I broke. I've said I've broke something that was really expensive,
Speaker 1: and I was like that was me, yeah, and the
Speaker 1: bosses like, you can do it again. I I'm like,
Speaker 1: get out there, because because you owned up to it,
Speaker 1: we're not going to do anything about it. It's just
Speaker 1: smart guy. Just make sure you own up to your mistakes.
Speaker 1: But I enjoyed just purely for the just absurdness of
Speaker 1: it all. I mentioned it before, just the visual of
Speaker 1: the Pope getting real close to the art of division
Speaker 1: and just shitting blood over its face like that is
Speaker 1: Southmark to a tea, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's I'm not sure if that's a shout
Speaker 4: out to Looney Tunes or Bugs Bunny or something like that. Certainly,
Speaker 4: when Pope Bennett comes and I think when he does
Speaker 4: it bling, yeah, it's like, sure, that's a shout out
Speaker 4: to Looney Tunes.

Speaker 1: I liked, Whack of Discipline was pretty funny and the
Speaker 1: way they is the thing They said that accent right
Speaker 1: throughout the episode of My Stances, but Stan wasn't saying
Speaker 1: it to be mocking. No's that's that's just how it
Speaker 1: comes across to a kid.
Speaker 4: My karate teacher. He's really smart. Yeah, yeah, he's He's
Speaker 4: obviously not respect for the guy. He's not racking on
Speaker 4: his accent. It's more like it's well, that's the way
Speaker 4: he says it, so that's the way I'm going to
Speaker 4: take it in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, lack discipline, racked discipline.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Cartman adding little wrinkles to his whole, to his
Speaker 4: training because he's a bit better than everybody else. I
Speaker 4: can't remember the exact phrase he was, and I was
Speaker 4: about to say sanchoi bout, which is actually a really
Speaker 4: nice Asian dish, but such.
Speaker 1: It was something like that, adding like at least a
Speaker 1: bond choy or something adding like bonds eyeo letters. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought that was actually pretty funny.
Speaker 4: But when Randy has to come into the classroom and
Speaker 4: give that little speech, first of all, stand was like,
Speaker 4: let's just not tell any about this, and then he
Speaker 4: just gets busted. But just Garrison really not rubbing it in.
Speaker 4: But I don't think he was doing it deliberately, but
Speaker 4: he stand Yeah, but he's like, so there you go, okays,
Speaker 4: you get end up being a big loser, like Stands Dad,
Speaker 4: and I just love the emberss they've gone Stands Dad.
Speaker 1: Every time he kept saying that, I love that.
Speaker 4: There was a callback to Kolfax Alley, which is the
Speaker 4: the you will never find a great hive of scum
Speaker 4: and villainy.
Speaker 1: This is South Park's version of that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, with the guy going down with guy then where
Speaker 4: blowing goes and colfaxally for this cowboy.
Speaker 1: Great for something, and when Randy has.
Speaker 4: His conversion after he gets a shot of blood to
Speaker 4: the face and yeah, basically goes full Christian slash aa.
Speaker 4: He got the new haircut and everything like that. But
Speaker 4: you know he sits down on the table, Praise Christ,
Speaker 4: praise him.
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's crazy, yes, yeah, which is yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: that's it's a.
Speaker 4: Little throwaway thing, but I think it really steers into
Speaker 4: what Parker and Stone are about in terms of like,
Speaker 4: have you believes it's fine, just don't push him on people? Yeah,
Speaker 4: And they've done that in so many episodes this season.
Speaker 1: I know I've mentioned in the podcast. We have the
Speaker 1: sign on the door says, please don't knock right if
Speaker 1: you just you just a door knocker. We just we
Speaker 1: just don't want it. I don't want to be interrupted.
Speaker 1: I told you how the Jehovahs witness Jehovah's Witnesses came
Speaker 1: into my house. I was like, I was like, what
Speaker 1: does that sound? And they were stepping inside the front door,
Speaker 1: going I was just seeing if anybody's home were just
Speaker 1: it's just lovely, old man. But I was like, see
Speaker 1: we didn't knock. I was like, you seem nice, but
Speaker 1: get the fuck out of my house. I'm sure Jack,
Speaker 1: the rivers seem like a really nice it was this
Speaker 1: you would have been eighty. It's just really has like
Speaker 1: a guy with him who was obviously like his helper almost.
Speaker 1: It's just obviously in old Jeovahs whness just trying to
Speaker 1: I'm like, don't step into someone's house. That's how you
Speaker 1: get killed.
Speaker 4: So so you're eighty something years old, you should have
Speaker 4: learned this by now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I also enjoyed. So there's things in South
Speaker 1: Park where you can tell they didn't write it. They
Speaker 1: may have had a line and a delivery was funny,
Speaker 1: and they go that sounds great, let's stick with it.
Speaker 1: I'm glad they've run with Stune. Done Done. It's become
Speaker 1: a thing. You know, they realized that people dug it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's okay.
Speaker 5: Remember there are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
Speaker 1: All right, trivia time. My first question for you, mister Davis,
Speaker 1: is the kids didn't get home till about what time?
Speaker 4: They didn't get home till two thirty? Kyle didn't get
Speaker 4: home till two oh, Kyle was okay, yeah, yeah, two
Speaker 4: thirty am. That was I do have as one of
Speaker 4: my questions, but not one that I highlighted. How about
Speaker 4: that anyway? So I don't have to cross that one
Speaker 4: out because I wasn't going to ask it anyway. But
Speaker 4: I will ask you this one. When is the next
Speaker 4: karate class?
Speaker 1: Oh? Next Tuesday, next Tuesday. It must have been stored
Speaker 1: in there somewhere, well done. Next question is the kids
Speaker 1: don't want to miss an episode off which show? Lost?
Speaker 1: I thought they said the finale of Lost? So I
Speaker 1: don't know that Lost didn't finish in two thousand and five.
Speaker 1: It started, not two thousand and what.
Speaker 4: Well, maybe it was like the season finale, much like
Speaker 4: this is the season finale?
Speaker 1: Yes, there you go, Well when did this? So? What season?
Speaker 1: When did Lost start? Let's see if the Lost finale
Speaker 1: was airing on the same night, because they like to
Speaker 1: do that, don't they. Oh yeah, and they're probably the
Speaker 1: only show that could do it, especially at that time anyway,
Speaker 1: where they could make things in real time.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, they're running and Gunning aren't lost.
Speaker 1: Let's go to so what season would have been airing
Speaker 1: in two thousand and five. Let's go to here, two
Speaker 1: thousand and five, season two. When did it end? It
Speaker 1: ended in May two thousand and six, So yeah, it
Speaker 1: was an episode December seventh. That's a look. No, there
Speaker 1: was no episode December seventh. There you go. They definitely
Speaker 1: said lost, didn't they. They certainly said lost. Yeah. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: next question, My next question to you, Randy gets pulled
Speaker 1: over by a cop. But the cop is a cop car.
Speaker 1: There was a motto on the side of the car.
Speaker 1: That's probably just this. It's probably been a million times.
Speaker 1: Never noticed that. What is it?
Speaker 4: It said, to patronize and annoy. I don't think I've
Speaker 4: ever noticed that, because you know how I think to
Speaker 4: serve and protect? Yeah, I think is that just is
Speaker 4: that every police car in America?
Speaker 1: Or is that just like the l A p D
Speaker 1: or the NYPD. Yeah, I don't know. To protect us,
Speaker 1: that's the one we know protect service.
Speaker 4: This is to patronize and annoy.
Speaker 1: My final question is whose daughter has alphonitis? Damn it? Now,
Speaker 1: this is Josh. It's Josh Garrett. Just Garrett looked into
Speaker 1: like the South Park wiki is.
Speaker 4: Just a gag kind of like, oh man, I mean
Speaker 4: not not. It was to a larger point, I guess.
Speaker 4: I mean it's sort of played. It did double duty,
Speaker 4: and its like this, get get where you're com get
Speaker 4: where you're coming.
Speaker 1: From here there are people.
Speaker 4: Going to this thing with actual, actual ailments. But I
Speaker 4: also did it just like let's have a weird looking kid.
Speaker 1: But the thing is, I don't appreciate when the butt
Speaker 1: of the joke is mocking somebody for something they can't control.
Speaker 1: So Ali the other day sort of giggled at someone
Speaker 1: who was really really overweight and when they ran, like
Speaker 1: their belly was jiggling right out of their shirt, and
Speaker 1: he sort of giggled me. I was like, I know
Speaker 1: you don't think it's funny, mate, but it's important that
Speaker 1: we don't laugh at people for things that they can't control.
Speaker 1: He might be able to control not being so fat. Okay,
Speaker 1: I take that.
Speaker 4: At the same time, but were they were they jogging
Speaker 4: or were they like.
Speaker 1: Running for a bus. He was trying to get to
Speaker 1: somewhere fast. So I was just like, look, we don't
Speaker 1: mock people for how they look, because how people look
Speaker 1: for most of the time. They can't control that. And
Speaker 1: I think it's just one important message in life is
Speaker 1: you just don't joke about people who can't control things.
Speaker 1: And I thought two things. Alpha nitis is the thing
Speaker 1: that people actually have it. I'm sure it's actually got alphaitis,
Speaker 1: but people have disease. Who's that actor that has it?
Speaker 1: Was with Sculptor Hansen in that film, and he has
Speaker 1: the disfigurement in his Adam Pearson. Yes, right, so it'd
Speaker 1: be be like mocking him, right he is. He didn't
Speaker 1: choose to look this way. No, that's just something he has, right.
Speaker 1: And the other thing too is being a child as well.
Speaker 1: I was like, I just wasn't. Maybe it's just the
Speaker 1: dad coming out me, but I don't like mocking people
Speaker 1: for how they look.
Speaker 4: Yeah, But at the same time, I mean, I think
Speaker 4: you've got to consider the context as well.
Speaker 1: Certainly not the butt of the joke.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that you're not getting the context. And
Speaker 4: I'm saying, yeah, she's certainly not the butt.
Speaker 1: Of the joke. She's the butt of the joke. I
Speaker 1: think the butt of the joke is the fact I
Speaker 1: know he's the butt of the joke because he thinks
Speaker 1: it's going to heal his daughter, but it was supposed to.
Speaker 4: Be Like that's why I'm saying it's playing. I think
Speaker 4: they're using it as a check, but they're also using
Speaker 4: it to make a larger point.
Speaker 1: Piece of a puzzle. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that Adam Pearson
Speaker 1: guys himself.
Speaker 4: There's another There's a movie called A Different Man that
Speaker 4: came in I think last year with Sebastian Stan better
Speaker 4: known as Bucky from the Marvel movies.
Speaker 1: Wasn't he going to be playing or suggest that people
Speaker 1: were hoping he was going to play Mark Hamore like
Speaker 1: a young Mark Hamill. Yeah, because he sort of has
Speaker 1: that look about him. It's weird.
Speaker 4: I remember seeing him in Hot Tap Time Machine, which
Speaker 4: we cover on the Movie Guide with Marlin.
Speaker 1: Davis, much to Lennard's dismayed to bring her around.
Speaker 4: In my way of thinking, I was looking at him going,
Speaker 4: you're one of these guys who looks like a bunch
Speaker 4: of different people. Because he looked a bit like Bill Paxton,
Speaker 4: he looked a bit like Michael Bean, and he looked
Speaker 4: a bit like Michael ham looked a bit like Mark Hamill.
Speaker 4: It's like you're one of those guys. Aren't you say anything,
Speaker 4: play anything?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: In Different Man, he Sebastian Sam plays a guy he's
Speaker 4: got that same sort of I want to say, deformity,
Speaker 4: which is a disease. Disease, yeah, affliction whatever, disease, Yeah,
Speaker 4: who has his face turned into Sebastian stand by by surgery,
Speaker 4: but he still sort of feels like the same way inside.
Speaker 4: And yeah, but this this guy, Adam Pearson plays a
Speaker 4: guy who actually has the same disease but is just
Speaker 4: very comfortable in himself and is a lot more sort
Speaker 4: of confident and happy and all that kind of stuff
Speaker 4: as a result. It's a really it's a really good
Speaker 4: movie and good performances by both those guys. So yeah,
Speaker 4: Adam Pierson props of.
Speaker 1: That guy film. Adam Pearson Scarlett, she gets a gear
Speaker 1: of yeah, under the skin, under the skin, Yeah, what
Speaker 1: was that film about.
Speaker 4: She's like an alien who comes to Earth and assumes
Speaker 4: the form of Sculejo Hansson. She's trying to understand humanity
Speaker 4: and because she's Sculptor Hanson, a lot of dudes want
Speaker 4: to sleep with her. But when she sort of lures
Speaker 4: them in and then devours them, it's weird.
Speaker 1: Species. It's like a really peta version of species pretty much. Yeah, species, man,
Speaker 1: that that got me through. I want to say private school.
Speaker 1: It was in primary school, prim school, I know. It
Speaker 1: was like, no, we're grades six were like a high species,
Speaker 1: you make alien, except the alien is a hot cheek
Speaker 1: who gets a gear off. That's the most standing I've
Speaker 1: ever said. And then you're like, there's a two three.
Speaker 1: Two was absolutely dreadful and we didn't care. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no number three half the guy was at the number two.
Speaker 1: That was two.
Speaker 4: Yeah, hemstridge and oh yeah, but a guy goes to
Speaker 4: Mars and comes back and he's got the species disease
Speaker 4: or whatever, and three and four are just like cheap.
Speaker 1: I made the video. We couldn't get his storage, so we'll.
Speaker 4: Just get another anonymous blonde.
Speaker 1: They're good fun. I remember you.
Speaker 4: Like I said the other night, was like, sometimes you
Speaker 4: just want to do a late night MACS run and
Speaker 4: watch a piece of shit movie and the species sequels
Speaker 4: and Species itself, quite honestly is made for that.
Speaker 1: I have vivid memories of it would have been my
Speaker 1: grade six, my great sixth birthday party, putting Speaker's species
Speaker 1: in and it was fast forwarding like boobs come Back.
Speaker 1: We didn't watch the movie. It was just on fast
Speaker 1: Boobs we go back.
Speaker 4: I've got the earlier version and the reverse of that.
Speaker 4: I remember going to a might have been a twelfth
Speaker 4: birthday party at my friend Ollie's house, and we're going
Speaker 4: to watch the movie Excaliburate. You know that one, Yeah,
Speaker 4: about King Arthur, But it starts off with what is
Speaker 4: I've come to discover an orgy?
Speaker 1: No, no, it's a it's a fairly.
Speaker 4: Tame sex scene. But let's just say, does have some
Speaker 4: bouncing boobs in it? Doctor Ollie, Ollie's dad. It's like
Speaker 4: he pulled his own modified for TV. But he said,
Speaker 4: all right, we're cutting ahead ten minutes.
Speaker 1: No, the story doesn't making his sense.
Speaker 4: Now you've ruined the you've ruled the story telling architecture
Speaker 4: of EXCaliber with met little film that was like, no,
Speaker 4: sounds downing.
Speaker 1: This dude is making his sense. No, but I think
Speaker 1: we all remember. I think we're all like, apparently there
Speaker 1: was boobs. That's what we're missing out on.
Speaker 4: Oh god, we were so uh, we were so innocent,
Speaker 4: and you're so horny.
Speaker 1: And then in year seven, year eight, we got the
Speaker 1: I've mentioned before, the blood sucking freaks. We're like, oh,
Speaker 1: this was a bad choice. Oh God, this was a
Speaker 1: bad choice. I had one one more than we get
Speaker 1: into it. It's do it.
Speaker 4: The Virgin Mary statue is located where Baisley, Bailey. It's
Speaker 4: in Bailey, It's in Peter's Church and Peters Church.

Speaker 4: think about each and every one of them. Was like,
Speaker 4: there's not a single person there I.
Speaker 1: Dislike, No, not at all. All right, So the original
Speaker 1: ed of Bloody Mary was December seventh, two thousand and five.

Speaker 1: walked the line at number three. How do you say
Speaker 1: that movie aon flux fl a on flux. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was with ch Yeah, and Harry Potter and The Goblet
Speaker 1: of Fire was still number one, be number one for
Speaker 1: a few weeks. I'm assuming everyone loves Harry Potter, Well,
Speaker 1: they used to. I thought they came out was it
Speaker 1: must have been Lord of the Rings came out on the
Speaker 1: boxing day? Yeah, I thought Harry Potter was the same.
Speaker 4: I think Harry Potter started at the the end of
Speaker 4: November or the start of December, and it would have
Speaker 4: like December to itself and then Lord of the Rings
Speaker 4: would sort of take over.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, cause it's just like, okay, it's Potter, It's
Speaker 1: Potter Lord of the Rings.

Speaker 1: things one and number one one too great? It need
Speaker 1: son she yeah it son she go rock got you? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I always get lost in the middle there.
Speaker 4: And at the end of my apologies to any of
Speaker 4: our Japanese listeners, that was not he putting on an accent.
Speaker 1: I'm just a condition from you, toul discipline.
Speaker 4: I racked discipline to change my pronunciation.
Speaker 1: Yes, so yeah, that Eric's doing his own thing. He
Speaker 1: says he likes discipline. It says true discipline. I don't
Speaker 1: rack discipline, no, and true discipline comes from within. And
Speaker 1: they all rush home because they want to find if
Speaker 1: they wash the file ups at a loss, but they
Speaker 1: find out that Randy is not there. He went and
Speaker 1: got drunk with Nelson two dollars. It's great. Yeah, down
Speaker 1: at the pub. They're not sure if he should drive home,
Speaker 1: but he's got some beers to keep his butzer going,
Speaker 1: so he'll be fine. And he's I'm not sure if
Speaker 1: you should be driving while you're drinking. No, No, I'm
Speaker 1: not drinking while i'm driving.
Speaker 4: No i'm not I'm not drink driving. I'm driving. I'm
Speaker 4: driving while i'm drinking.
Speaker 1: Driving while i'm drinking. Yes, and then he does the
Speaker 1: ping in the bottle. There was this a dumb and
Speaker 1: dumber reference. There's a reason God gave us a made
Speaker 1: up penis to look like little host any coils in
Speaker 1: the bottle. And when saw the cop arrive, I'm like,
Speaker 1: are they going to really the jump and dumber gag
Speaker 1: where the cop drinks it? But no, that's what happens.
Speaker 4: No, this cop is just a regular ass cop. Yeah,
Speaker 4: just doing his job.
Speaker 1: Feez him maybe all over the road, who knows, Maybe
Speaker 1: you're speeding, he says, what seems to be the officer problem,
Speaker 1: and he can't touch the finger to the nose. His
Speaker 1: pants are falling down. Reminds me of the recent you
Speaker 1: see the arrest of j T justin tim Bleake. No,
Speaker 1: I know that the footage came out. Yeah, I watched it.
Speaker 1: So he's clearly off his head. But he makes his
Speaker 1: awesome gag and makes the office like second guess himself.
Speaker 1: So he's going through his details. Can you can fund
Speaker 1: all these details are correct? He's reading it. He pauses
Speaker 1: and he goes, white goes. He goes just joking the
Speaker 1: guy go, oh fuck, he goes what.
Speaker 4: I don't think JT has been canceled, but I think
Speaker 4: he has been sideline. I think everyone's kind of like, oh,
Speaker 4: JT's so corny now, but no.
Speaker 1: No know what the thing is. Enough time has passed
Speaker 1: where to kids, they don't know who the fuck he is.
Speaker 1: That's true. Like a lot of people who were like famous,
Speaker 1: the same with Jim Carry. All these people are hanging
Speaker 1: shit on Jim Carried. They didn't live through the Jim
Speaker 1: Carry era. He's just this guy from like to the
Speaker 1: equivalent of someone from the seventies.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, the people who sort of came up
Speaker 4: with JT and who lifted him up need to come
Speaker 4: back and say, you know what, we really like this
Speaker 4: guy as well. You should you look at him? And
Speaker 4: I said, snl, you look at him in movies.
Speaker 1: We's jes like a beealing all this. Yeah, she's probably
Speaker 1: god justin again. But just the white Edigan says the
Speaker 1: cops like, oh, what's the race version of misgendered someone?
Speaker 1: It's racialized. I don't know, I'm not sure, but yeah,
Speaker 1: just and honestly what it's the delivery of white.
Speaker 4: I'm saying, bring just as we brought Sexy back, let's
Speaker 4: bring JT.
Speaker 1: Hey. Look, he has the troll movies. They're doing fucking well. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like he's just he just live with that troll money.
Speaker 1: Now you're going to find a franchise. But here's the thing.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think you know, if you've been in
Speaker 4: the public eye as long as JT has, because I
Speaker 4: mean he's one of these Mickey Mouse kids, he's like
Speaker 4: Ryan Goslin or Britney Speakers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you get a little hooked on. Not even
Speaker 1: you or I.
Speaker 4: If we had jten money, I think I think you'd
Speaker 4: close the laptop now. I think your podcast maybe once
Speaker 4: a month or something.
Speaker 1: I'd do it once like I do the fourth a
Speaker 1: discapt maybe that's it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And as I always like to say, sorry, I mean,
Speaker 4: and we've got my catch trays, but I'll be sitting
Speaker 4: on the beach only twenty percent. That's exactly what I'd
Speaker 4: be doing. Yeah, but I may get the thing. If
Speaker 4: you've been doing this all your life. The adulation is
Speaker 4: the juice just as much as the actual actual money.
Speaker 1: Well, it's like wrestlers. The wrestler they can't stop doing it. Sure,
Speaker 1: obviously they don't have the money, except except they have
Speaker 1: to have interested it be able. I saw the arrest
Speaker 1: yesterday was we're doing the review. I was like, oh
Speaker 1: me a JT. Because yeah, it was it was clearly
Speaker 1: pissed off his head, like he couldn't do the things
Speaker 1: that maybe you're trying to do. Is just it was
Speaker 1: he had that face of when the window went down,
Speaker 1: and it's like he knows his farm and the guy
Speaker 1: didn't know who he was. And I think that would
Speaker 1: be the most that would be the hardest part of
Speaker 1: someone like JT. A young officer. I'm just Tim Blake,
Speaker 1: and he's like, sure, okay, okay, but like that means anything.
Speaker 1: Can't see your idea and you can see the moment
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, this guy has know who I am.
Speaker 1: I find that a bit odd in.
Speaker 4: Order to see just I mean, it's pretty much a brand.
Speaker 4: It's also a very recognizable name.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's I don't know. If I reckon
Speaker 1: a year old cousin who's justin Timblad, she'd have no idea.
Speaker 1: Why would she? Why was she?
Speaker 4: They would have heard the name though, at least and go, oh,
Speaker 4: that's someone who used to be even if they're not
Speaker 4: Sabrina Carpenter like, oh yeah, that name rings about. It's like,
Speaker 4: I mean, but I'm not comparing the two in terms
Speaker 4: of fame or impact or anything like that. But it's
Speaker 4: like Elvis Presley, you know the name. You know the
Speaker 4: name at the very least, maybe I can understand. It's like,
Speaker 4: let's say Nick Carter got pulled over. Nick Carter's like, well,
Speaker 4: that's a fairly sort.
Speaker 1: Of nondescript who Nick Carter is?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: See the one is still alive. They're all still alive. No,
Speaker 4: I think one of them is dead. The Backstreet Boys name. No,
Speaker 4: I mean I'm talking about the Carters Carter passed away. Yeah, yeah, Okay,
Speaker 4: this took a turn I Want Candy Kid on the
Speaker 4: cover of that in the early two thousands.
Speaker 1: Okay, the song I remember the original? Yeah, the original one. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was that was cool. But anyway, so this is
Speaker 1: where Randy gets arrested. His pants fall down, he's at
Speaker 1: the station. He throws up whilst he's blowing into the thing.
Speaker 1: The kids are waiting there. They've got to say game
Speaker 1: member one side and a prostitute on the other, and
Speaker 1: your dad wacks disciplined. We're out of school and they
Speaker 1: didn't get home till about two thirty and stand asking
Speaker 1: you just keep this to yourself because it's embarrassing from me.
Speaker 1: Any want he wants to find out about it, it
Speaker 1: would be it would be yeah, absolutely, we don't anyone
Speaker 1: to know about it. And then they say they've got
Speaker 1: a motivational speaker here to talk about the dangers of
Speaker 1: drunk driving, and it's Randy, of course, who's been given
Speaker 1: community service. Randy's just not that into it. He's clearly
Speaker 1: of the mind's like well yeah, he says later in
Speaker 1: the game meeting, it's like, so, so he's been arrested,
Speaker 1: being to court, being given a court order, and the
Speaker 1: following morning, he's already at the school.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, we're playing a little fast and less the
Speaker 4: time for compression purposes.
Speaker 1: But yes, you're right, you.
Speaker 6: Shouldn't drink because it leads to bad things. I was
Speaker 6: in jail for the night, and well, I guess I
Speaker 6: don't know. I just don't drink. But if you must drink,
Speaker 6: definitely don't drive. I've definitely learned that firsthand, that's all
Speaker 6: I guess. Well, I think we've all learned an important lesson,
Speaker 6: haven't we.
Speaker 5: Class If you don't make the right choices in life,
Speaker 5: you could end up being a big loser like Stan's dad.
Speaker 5: Drinking and driving is for idiots. Nobody wants to end
Speaker 5: up like Stan's dad, do they. I want you all
Speaker 5: to take a good look at Stan's dad and say,
Speaker 5: is that who I want to be in thirty years
Speaker 5: getting tickets and having to go to elementary school classrooms
Speaker 5: and talk about how pathetic I am.
Speaker 1: Thank you, mister marsh I think you made your point.
Speaker 1: We're now at the AA meeting and Michael says he's
Speaker 1: lost his job in his family goes drinking. Because of drinking,
Speaker 1: he's now being sober ten years. Bill is on the
Speaker 1: twelve step program. Was always steps, isn't it. It's always
Speaker 1: a twelve step program or twelve step program. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's been doing it for two months. No more blowing
Speaker 1: guys on Corfac's avenue for a pint of foger for
Speaker 1: this cowboy. I love the cowboy. For this cowboy man
Speaker 1: is now here for his first meeting, and he just
Speaker 1: won't admit that he's an alcoholic. And I can understand
Speaker 1: the wild be people that were thinking. He goes, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not an alcoholic. I just made a bad choice.
Speaker 1: But is Randy an alcoholic? He probably is. I mean
Speaker 1: what is that alcoholic though? Is as someone that can't
Speaker 1: live without alcohol in their system on a daily basis?
Speaker 1: Like what defines alcoholic? Yeah?
Speaker 4: I really think it varies from it's a case by
Speaker 4: case base, but I think if it's if you can't
Speaker 4: make it through the day without a drink or want
Speaker 4: to make a.
Speaker 1: Couple of beers with his dinner every night. You know,
Speaker 1: he's a manager at his work. He makes shiitloads morening
Speaker 1: than I do. He's fully functional. But is he an
Speaker 1: alcoholic or.
Speaker 4: Maybe he's a functional cohol I mean, there's so many.
Speaker 1: He doesn't get drunk. He has like two or three
Speaker 1: beers with his dinner other night because that's just the
Speaker 1: way I calm down before I go to bed. I'm like,
Speaker 1: but does that make him an alcoholic? I don't know
Speaker 1: what is an.
Speaker 4: Alcoholic when you can't live without alcohol? Or I mean,
Speaker 4: if you said, okay, we're taking away those two beers,
Speaker 4: how do you feel after a week. I'm not saying
Speaker 4: about your monde. No, yeah, it'd be interesting to see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is where they basically start hammering down that
Speaker 1: you are powerless, and it's the rule cult like mentality
Speaker 1: of you must, you know, dedicate your life to God, God,
Speaker 1: the anyone can save you. That kind of yeah.
Speaker 4: Now, the other thing that I did read about this
Speaker 4: was that while I think AA did have its initial
Speaker 4: sort of origins in religion, they'd actually say God in
Speaker 4: the twelve steps. It's more you have to turn yourself
Speaker 4: over to a higher power.
Speaker 1: They mentioned God here, god like power of it. They say, yeah,
Speaker 1: but they could be anything you're believing yourself.
Speaker 4: Yeah probably, yeah, probably could be your wife or your family.
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, if you're going to do it for anyone,
Speaker 4: do it for them or something. So you need to
Speaker 4: have a bit of a north star.
Speaker 1: But is it doing it for them or is it
Speaker 1: you need them to help you get through because but
Speaker 1: what they're doing here is they're saying that you need
Speaker 1: to rely on this person to help you through it,
Speaker 1: as opposed to you you have to do it yourself.
Speaker 4: That Yeah, I think that's why we became alcoholics anonymous
Speaker 4: as well, so you don't have to sort of spilling
Speaker 4: your guts completely. But it's also you know, we're all
Speaker 4: here for one another, and no one member of the
Speaker 4: group is lesser or greater than another.
Speaker 1: There's no judgment. Yeah, but Brandy points out that I
Speaker 1: don't I'm not an alcoholic. I just need to cut
Speaker 1: down to my drinking. No. No, you have a disease
Speaker 1: and you can't cure it yourself as deadly and this
Speaker 1: is where things take it to over for the worst.
Speaker 4: Yeah, now, how much this is I don't think it
Speaker 4: would be like.
Speaker 1: This not there to make you feel bad. No.
Speaker 4: Again, from from my brief reading to this, I mean
Speaker 4: you can actually show up to an AA meeting under
Speaker 4: the influence you don't share. You don't sort of get
Speaker 4: up and say, guy, I'm an alcoholic. You just you
Speaker 4: sit there and you sort of take it all in.
Speaker 4: But I mean, yeah, it's from what I can gather,
Speaker 4: it strikes me as a fairly non judgmental environment, which
Speaker 4: is I think, yeah, that's what it is, exactly what
Speaker 4: it was designed to be.
Speaker 1: So he stand gets home and he finds and he drinking.
Speaker 1: You on the couch. She says, I have a disease.
Speaker 1: Daddy's very sick. He runs off crying, shaves his head.
Speaker 1: And I thought, here though, and they kind of were
Speaker 1: to an extent mocking people who have cancer, or no,
Speaker 1: they won't mock people have cancer. Randy was meant was
Speaker 1: designed to look like someone who has cancer, and he
Speaker 1: thought he was going through the same things as I guess,
Speaker 1: aligning himself with people who have genuine diseases but out
Speaker 1: of their control. Cancer. It is out of your control. Absolutely.
Speaker 4: The other thing that I wanted to sort of talk
Speaker 4: about real quickly is that rehab and recovery, well, it
Speaker 4: may have the best intentions, it's a big, big industry,
Speaker 4: and I'm not going to say, oh, it's in their
Speaker 4: best interest to sort of make you think, oh, you're
Speaker 4: sick and you need help in this regard and we're
Speaker 4: the ones who can provide it, but I'm not not
Speaker 4: saying that either.
Speaker 1: Now, guys, I hope you're enjoyed this week's show. Remember,
Speaker 1: if you do love everything we do here at four
Speaker 1: Finger Discount, the best way to show your support is
Speaker 1: by joining the four Finger Discount family on Patreon. You
Speaker 1: can do so for as little as just one dollar
Speaker 1: per month, but for five dollars you get access to
Speaker 1: hundreds of hours of bonus podcast are exclusive discord Facebook groups,
Speaker 1: early ad free access to the show. The list goes on. Obviously,
Speaker 1: we know you'd probably be happier with the dollar, but
Speaker 1: if you do have a spared dollar we doo each month.
Speaker 1: We'd love for you to show your support and join
Speaker 1: the four finger to Scare family on Patreon. He says,
Speaker 1: the sense that you gotta take it easy. You're gonna
Speaker 1: get me another beer. It's hitting me up. I hate
Speaker 1: my illness and the anything to concure is a miracle.
Speaker 1: I can't. I'm sick. Yeah. We cut to the Mary
Speaker 1: statue at Saint Peter's Church. It starts bleeding. We get
Speaker 1: the news report it's bleeding out the ass and that's
Speaker 1: just playing that up. There's bleeding at the ass because
Speaker 1: at first, when it first bleeds, you don't see where
Speaker 1: it's coming. So everyone, a lot of people have come
Speaker 1: to see the miracle and they want to find why
Speaker 1: do you think that vege Mary is dripping blood? And
Speaker 1: she gives out some excuses, why do you think out
Speaker 1: of her ass? Then Randy says, the news report stands done.
Speaker 1: We're now at AA once again, and Harry has been
Speaker 1: sober for five years. He says, drinking nice tea and
Speaker 1: working a relationship with God is more fun than partying.
Speaker 1: As you're saying, they're the ones are like, it's a
Speaker 1: lot of fun.
Speaker 4: I feel bad for people who probably actually did get
Speaker 4: something out of AI. I mean, it feels like that
Speaker 4: same particular is kind of rubbing the rubbing in the faces.
Speaker 1: Well, it's basically what they're doing here is they're mocking
Speaker 1: people who go there almost to an extent, Yeah, which
Speaker 1: they shouldn't have done.
Speaker 2: Once I accepted that I was powerless to control my
Speaker 2: drinking in my life, I put it in God's hands,
Speaker 2: and now these meetings are the most fun thing I do.
Speaker 1: Here.
Speaker 2: Excuse me, who's in charge here?
Speaker 1: None of us are in charge. We're all powerless.
Speaker 2: Look, my dad was here yesterday and you all kind
Speaker 2: of messed him up by telling him he.
Speaker 1: Had a disease. Alcoholism is a disease.
Speaker 2: No, it's not. And you can't just go around saying
Speaker 2: stuff like that to people like my dad. He's kind
Speaker 2: of a hypochondriac.
Speaker 3: It is a disease because it's a physical dependency that
Speaker 3: makes you a disease.
Speaker 2: No, cancer is a disease. My dad needs to drink less.
Speaker 1: He can't quit by himself, none of us could.
Speaker 6: He needs divine intervention, spirituality.
Speaker 2: No, he just needs a discipline. But thanks to you people,
Speaker 2: my dad now thinks he has a disease that he
Speaker 2: can't cure himself.
Speaker 6: Young man, do you know anything about the twelve step program?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And I also know a thing or two about cults.
Speaker 2: I was the leader of one for a while.
Speaker 1: God damn it. He's got a disease. No cancer is
Speaker 1: a disease. My dad just needs to drink less. It's
Speaker 1: not that simple. No. No, But for comic effect, I
Speaker 1: get what they're going for here for some people.
Speaker 4: But it's also yeah, I mean the underlying thing of
Speaker 4: that is yeah again. Parker and Stone's message of take
Speaker 4: responsibility for your own shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he says he needs to. Sometimes you're trying
Speaker 1: to and sometimes it's a little harder than you're making
Speaker 1: that to be. He calls himccult and he knows what
Speaker 1: a cult is because he used to run one himself.
Speaker 1: And they throw him out. Now there's a big crowd
Speaker 1: to watch the Mary statue. Cry blood out of her ass.
Speaker 1: They say, cry blood of her ass. I think so
Speaker 1: something like that. Anyway, they've caught him. The cardinal from
Speaker 1: a Vatican to determine if it's a miracle or not.
Speaker 1: And we get them yet leaning in shits over his face,
Speaker 1: squats sali over his face to blood. It's a merry girl.
Speaker 1: Then Stan sees Randy getting into a car to drive
Speaker 1: to the church because he wants to go have a
Speaker 1: miracle himself himself. Stand says no, no, no, and he says,
Speaker 1: a divine ass blood has miraculous healing powers. We have
Speaker 1: to go. His license is suspended. If you get caught driving,
Speaker 1: you have a job for ten years. So he tells
Speaker 1: standard drive him with his only hope. Randy has put
Speaker 1: his faith in a higher power. You have to believe.
Speaker 1: I have to believe it's going to work and they
Speaker 1: join the long line. Here at the statue, we've got
Speaker 1: the guy who is suffering from brain cancer, got a disease, alcoholism.
Speaker 1: It's pretty serious, pretty serious. Yes, he sees Josh Garrett.
Speaker 1: This is where he says, ye, that the pretty serious stuff.
Speaker 1: And Josh's daughter has alphanis. He says, we are the same,
Speaker 1: she and I, and then everyone yells a stand for
Speaker 1: cutting the line.
Speaker 4: It's a cutter's dirty a butter. He's a dirty, dirty
Speaker 4: line butter. The butter is a dirty line cutter.
Speaker 1: Runs a cutter. Yes. Then they're at the statue and
Speaker 1: they're wiping the blood off the old lady. Then Randy
Speaker 1: wants to take a spot in the line where there's
Speaker 1: a guy who apparently has clearly kidney trouble, so he's
Speaker 1: going to the toilet all the time, and the guy
Speaker 1: directed behind him is blind. So Randy thinks it's in
Speaker 1: line there, it's in there in the line. What's your
Speaker 1: thoughts on cutting in line? I'm a big no it,
Speaker 1: don't do it. No, don't do it, and I'm never
Speaker 1: letting you in. I really despise. I've mentioned on the
Speaker 1: podcast the people that think they can fly up the
Speaker 1: outside lane and just want to cut it into the end.
Speaker 1: It's like, no, no, you're gonna sit there and wait. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I don't care if you go behind me, but you
Speaker 1: ain't getting in front of me.
Speaker 4: The lines are it's democracy in action. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 4: like great equalized and I.
Speaker 1: Love it, and Nicola goes or maybe they didn't know
Speaker 1: they were part of this line and they decided to
Speaker 1: try and skip something they knew exactly what they were doing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've never let anyone cut in line, would you? How
Speaker 1: are you for letting a friend cut in line? Or
Speaker 1: it's the whole saving a place. I found the only
Speaker 1: time we wrote the adventure part on the weekend and
Speaker 1: our friends were in line and our friends go, oh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go a toy that just save a spot
Speaker 1: for us, and I'm like, mother fuck it. So we're
Speaker 1: gonna wait in line, you're gonna talk short whatever. So
Speaker 1: did you all go together? Yeah, yeah, that's fine, right right,
Speaker 1: And then we get to the end of the line
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they just ride like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll we're back now. I'm like, you guys were going
Speaker 1: for like fifteen minutes and to's are right there. Okay,
Speaker 1: you go, and then it's like everyone's looking at us,
Speaker 1: and I'm like that sounds sas.
Speaker 4: I'm like, eh, like I don't think they should be
Speaker 4: your friends anything.
Speaker 1: Because what why I felt bad was because the person
Speaker 1: who was directly behind me their kids would have gone
Speaker 1: on the ride. Because our friends rocked up at last minute,
Speaker 1: they had to wait for the next rotation. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of this, but you know, I
Speaker 1: can't really say anything, but I didn't like how they
Speaker 1: did that. And I'm telling you, they didn't just go
Speaker 1: to the talks. The torts are right there and they
Speaker 1: came from around that corner. I was just was a
Speaker 1: bit call them out on No, I didn't. I didn't
Speaker 1: do they listen to this podcast?
Speaker 4: No, the only time I will allow cutting in of
Speaker 4: lines or sanctioned that such buffoonery. Supermarket mm hmm. If
Speaker 4: so you're in a queue, I've got a I've got
Speaker 4: a big basket of stuff. Oh you've got you've got
Speaker 4: one zucchini?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, common sense prevailing, of course,
Speaker 1: what common decency? Yeah, common decency. But sometimes it just
Speaker 1: it is common sense. Oh sure, it's like or you're
Speaker 1: playing golf. It's like you're in a group offom and
Speaker 1: this guy by himself behind you waiting. You're like, dude,
Speaker 1: just go through, okay, Carlo, Yeah, well you should have
Speaker 1: to wait. Just go go through, mates, It's all good.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so they're the only standing for cutting in line,
Speaker 1: and I would be these people as well. I would
Speaker 1: not like cutters. Yeah. Then I think I've mentioned before
Speaker 1: the Space Mountain. I was like, you a fucking getting
Speaker 1: in front of me. New way, I'm getting on Space
Speaker 1: Mountain right now. Randon puts it. But I've got what
Speaker 1: do they call.
Speaker 4: That thing in Disney where the you can pay like
Speaker 4: super extra and you get to the gut to.
Speaker 1: The fronts everything park. It's the Express Pass. Yeah I
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 4: Why, Like said I, I'm a big believer in the
Speaker 4: great equalizer of the line.
Speaker 1: I bought these Spress pass everywhere. Okay, fine separates. What
Speaker 1: was it the program? The amateur? Yeah, so stand here.
Speaker 1: So they get sans getting yelled at. He demands that
Speaker 1: we go back, and then Randy tells the officer I
Speaker 1: need it more. You know, I'm an alcoholic. My brother,
Speaker 1: he's an alcoholic. Quick cut Through pushed him to the
Speaker 1: front of the line esquirts on Mandy's face, and so
Speaker 1: I'm not going to drink again. It's a miracle. Good
Speaker 1: morning family. The Lord is truly blessed us with another
Speaker 1: beautiful day. It's just amazing. I haven't had a drink
Speaker 1: in five days. Praise Christ, Praise him. Praise Christ, Praise Christ.
Speaker 1: And we're now at the AA meeting at there's going

Speaker 1: We found it unlike what a movie? Oh man, We're
Speaker 1: gonna do an episode just about Rick.
Speaker 4: I saw that in Hong Kong back in ninety one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, what the fuck is this? But
Speaker 1: just sawing people with chainsaws and yeah, man, it's insanely violent.
Speaker 1: It's morally bankrupt. Yeah yeah, and Liftgow is this insane
Speaker 1: villain and just as insane end sequence as they did
Speaker 1: in I literally turned Nicola push pauls I like guys
Speaker 1: says it them like they don't make these movies anymore
Speaker 1: like we used to make things.
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, Ricochet directed by Australias and Russell Malkaye.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, what a movie. Man, that's absolutely ridiculous. That's
Speaker 1: exactly what you want in these movies. Yeah, but it
Speaker 1: is morally bereafed because I don't think I can buy
Speaker 1: John lygot as like this this bad guy. I know,
Speaker 1: there's something about it that he has that look in
Speaker 1: his eye. You're like, I believe you would do this
Speaker 1: ship Oh yeah, I mean it's funny.
Speaker 4: He's a really interesting career because I mean he started
Speaker 4: off and in a couple of early movies he played
Speaker 4: like really cold blooded villains and then he started being
Speaker 4: nice guys. And this was Henderson's Yeah, and this was
Speaker 4: a real sort of return to was like Oh no.
Speaker 4: This guy does cold Psycho as well as anybody. He
Speaker 4: says a line that's gonna stay with me.

Speaker 4: fuck your wife, your daughter or probably even your dog.
Speaker 1: And then chainsaws get cut out. Man Ricochet, we're doing
Speaker 1: a movie. Goo on that one and get landed on
Speaker 1: board and like just at the start, it's like gin
Speaker 1: Ricochet on the bullet and stuff. Iced tea is in it? Yes,
Speaker 1: with hair yeah, oh that's well he still got hair,
Speaker 1: hasn't he? But when he had long hair. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's very, very very this is this is long flowing, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is initialized. Yeah.
Speaker 4: When he does the does the song over the closing credits,
Speaker 4: Oh it dropped your side by dropping in knees by
Speaker 4: your head like a bitch, on and play.
Speaker 1: You'll get hit by the ricochet. Turns out Washington's getting
Speaker 1: his gear off to try and young Denzel in rippon Shape. Yeah, fantastic,
Speaker 1: Rickachet a movie on your on your HBO Max service. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we were very happy, but we found that film.
Speaker 4: I get mean to write, there's an artist as a
Speaker 4: series in the Guardian newspaper called My Comfort Movie, and
Speaker 4: I keep writing the sort of write an article about Rickchet.
Speaker 1: Really rickget because I said to Nicolas, said, it's because
Speaker 1: we're talking about the cop film A Cop and a
Speaker 1: half whatever recently, right, yeah, and I'm talking about how
Speaker 1: just that the movie industry was just so pumping at
Speaker 1: that point, right, I said to Nicola, this is all
Speaker 1: you gotta do. Yeah, someone like a Denzel and you
Speaker 1: gets someone to play the villain like John lyth Gow
Speaker 1: and he's surroundoed by those guys, and you just have
Speaker 1: a basic plot that you know might be a bit ridiculous,
Speaker 1: but you don't care. Have a few action sequences, some
Speaker 1: fucking some language, some violence, boom ba boom, throw it
Speaker 1: out there for fifty twenty million dollars, make a hundred,
Speaker 1: make more movies like Rickockhet. Of course they're not a
Speaker 1: fucking hard they're not well. No, I mean the structure,
Speaker 1: to take away from Ricochet, No, no, the structure is
Speaker 1: fairly basic. Yeah, famous villain, famous hero, surrounded by people
Speaker 1: that you know, you know, Yeah, give them some snappy
Speaker 1: lines of dialogue. That's the other thing I mean.
Speaker 4: I don't know if I told him sorry, we'll get
Speaker 4: will turn to bloody marry as soon as possible. But
Speaker 4: I watched this movie the other night on Netflix called
Speaker 4: war Machine.
Speaker 1: You're aware of this one.
Speaker 4: If you've seen this, you have you heard about this
Speaker 4: starring Alan Richson aka TV's Reacher, And it's basically Predator
Speaker 4: but with a Transformer, with an evil Transformer as the villain,
Speaker 4: and it's so boring. None of the characters has got
Speaker 4: any defining characteristics at all, but kills aren't that great,
Speaker 4: and none of them say anything even vaguely cool. We
Speaker 4: will are Predator, right, because it's at the start. All
Speaker 4: these characters are different, but each of them will say
Speaker 4: something kind of vaguely cool or funny. But you know,
Speaker 4: even what's his name, Hawkins will telling them the jokes
Speaker 4: about the pussy all the time.
Speaker 1: That's fantastic.
Speaker 4: Big Jesse Ventura is saying, why don't you choose some
Speaker 4: of that Tobaco him again, goddamn sexual Tyrannosaurus.
Speaker 1: Just like me. I don't want I can't wait till
Speaker 1: these guys get killed. But at the same time, I
Speaker 1: don't want them to get killed. Yeah, with war Machine,
Speaker 1: was like, I don't care if you die. Was that
Speaker 1: that guy that got killed or the other guy? I
Speaker 1: don't know what? What is this? Make more movies like
Speaker 1: Rigochet is what I'm saying. And who's his partner of
Speaker 1: the Little Guy?
Speaker 4: Yeah he suspects no no, no, no, oh yeah, Denzel's partner,
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Kevin pol Pollack, Yeah yeah, he's good.
Speaker 1: Yes yeah.
Speaker 4: But also Litho has got a little offsider as well.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah yeah, who's a real sort of like freaky
Speaker 4: weirdo kid who was the son of legendary Hollywood producer
Speaker 4: Robert Evans. He's got He's one of the most creepy
Speaker 4: lines in it as well. I think Lithgo has knocked
Speaker 4: out Denzel Washington, knocked him unconscious.
Speaker 1: He said, I better ship his pants. I can't wait
Speaker 1: to look, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?
Speaker 1: But Nicolay goes, I don't understand. Why does he just
Speaker 1: kill him? I'm like, because the whole point is he
Speaker 1: wants to ruin his life. Yeah, spend years behind bar
Speaker 1: If anything, this is the worst villain than the guys.
Speaker 1: Just gonna kill him. You're gonna put him through why torture? Yeah,
Speaker 1: kids a hooking to give him a clap? Yeah? Wow,
Speaker 1: I love Ricochet. I was.
Speaker 4: I was Facebook buddies with the co writer of it
Speaker 4: for a while and we were sort of having DMS
Speaker 4: and I asked him, said, oh, then we about Ricochet
Speaker 4: And he said, you why don't get him on the movie?
Speaker 4: Goal about because we're not We're not buddies anymore.
Speaker 1: For some reason. That just yeah, the relationship just ended,
Speaker 1: as in like you, he doesn't like you, or you know.
Speaker 1: I think it just stopped. Just contact him again. I
Speaker 1: tried doing that. Do you think I didn't want to
Speaker 1: stop doing He just stoped writing back to you. Were
Speaker 1: you ask One of those people was like, I'll rope
Speaker 1: back to you once and then he kept writing back
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, I didn't want to start a friendship.
Speaker 1: With you.
Speaker 4: I think it might have been something like it's unfortunate.
Speaker 4: But he did say that Rickchet was actually designed as
Speaker 4: a Dirty Harry sequel. And then when Clint said that's
Speaker 4: a bit much. It was going to be Kurt Russell,
Speaker 4: then he pulled out and you know, make it with
Speaker 4: Denzel what's his name, Oh, the co writer. His name
Speaker 4: is Fred Decker.
Speaker 1: We'll get we'll do Ricochet in the movie right at
Speaker 1: some point. Okay, I'm sure Lender would love that. It'd
Speaker 1: be like, I think we should see other people. Yes,
Speaker 1: all right, let's wrap up. This is going to stay
Speaker 1: in the show. Let's wrap up Bloody Mary. Okay, so yes,
Speaker 1: So this is where they announced that the pipe has
Speaker 1: gone to you see the statue exqueests of blood.
Speaker 3: After witnessing the phenomenon firsthand, the Pope then cleaned himself
Speaker 3: off and then declared that the bleeding Virgin Mary statue
Speaker 3: is not a miracle. What Having investigated closely, the Pope
Speaker 3: determined that the blood was not coming from the Virgin
Speaker 3: Mary's ass, but rather from her vagina, And the Pope said, quote,
Speaker 3: a chick bleeding out her vagina is no miracle. Chicks
Speaker 3: bleed out their vaginas all the time.
Speaker 1: Back to you, Tom.
Speaker 4: I love how they had just the picture of bo
Speaker 4: bendit and that sort of that wide on the screen
Speaker 4: like a legitimate news story.
Speaker 1: But thinks on parerless again, I still have a disease.
Speaker 1: I my god. He orders a lot of drinks. Everyone
Speaker 1: else starts doing as well, more powerless.
Speaker 4: It was going to be one of my trivia questians
Speaker 4: is what does he order? Because I think three shots
Speaker 4: of whiskey, two little bowls of vodka, like it's like
Speaker 4: six beers.
Speaker 1: And some jello shots on there. Yeah, sellots. You ever
Speaker 1: had any of those? I have a long time ago,
Speaker 1: and yeah, not a fan. I never had, just had shots.
Speaker 1: It used to be like the cow like cowboys mud
Speaker 1: muddh yeah, mud, something like chocolate milkshakes, almost cock sucking cowboys.
Speaker 1: It wasn't that it was like mud. It was something mud.
Speaker 1: It was like chocolate. Yeah, I don't know anyway. But
Speaker 1: Stanton orders him to stop, don't drink, explains that you
Speaker 1: have the power. You did this on your own, and
Speaker 1: he says you don't have to have a drink. You know,
Speaker 1: you don't have to not drink, you just have to
Speaker 1: it goes on any spiel. Here you don't have to
Speaker 1: slid it from your life, and then it still controls
Speaker 1: you to an extent. You have to learn some discipline.
Speaker 1: He says, all or nothing is easy. Learning to drink
Speaker 1: a little bit responsibly is discipline, and it comes from within.
Speaker 1: And he said, how do I manage a research to
Speaker 1: smart kids? I had a great teacher, not your dad,
Speaker 1: my karate teacher. He's really smart. Yes, yes, we've already
Speaker 1: talked about this enough. I mean, but yeah, saying all
Speaker 1: or nothing is easy. I don't know if it is easy.
Speaker 1: Maybe the nothing part, maybe the all part is easy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just just not yeah, just drinking all the time. Is
Speaker 1: going without it all the time? It's not easy? Oh no?
Speaker 1: And I mean I guess that's where you know.
Speaker 4: You get guys at the AA meeting like it's great
Speaker 4: fun drink eleven AD and hanging out with my AA
Speaker 4: bud is.
Speaker 1: But some people need to have nothing in order to
Speaker 1: stay is it on? Yeah? Because they go all yeah,
Speaker 1: they can't. They go tilt. They have no discipline, and
Speaker 1: that's not their faults. Some people don't have discipline, Yes,
Speaker 1: But I did like the scene here at the end
Speaker 1: where they're walking off together. It felt like a Simpson's
Speaker 1: ending to an extent where Ranny's walking off and he's
Speaker 1: like we'll be here or two three, don't push. It's
Speaker 1: like twenty that's not disciplining. And as the end of
Speaker 1: Bloody Mary and the end of season nine of South Bark,
Speaker 1: we have come to the end. It was a really
Speaker 1: solid season, certainly was. And guess what. Next week we're
