There is. There is. Okay, I'm good. Welcome to Antoin Peaks.
How? That of course was James Marshall as James Hurley. Is that actually him singing? I don't know.
I played this off of Spotify and it says just you and the artist credited it as James Marshall. I mean that's probably him then. It could be him. There's like, where's the fraction lease and album as?
I know. Sound like that? That is infuriating that whole thing. That takes forever.
Sick of hearing it. The whole time I was sick of hearing it. I did start laughing when like the way the show has fun with like the artifice of it being a TV show. Yes.
To just put like two microphones in the middle of the room and then have him sound like that and have the drums play. The drums you hear bass playing? Yeah, yeah. It's so fun.
That is the thing that makes sort of the scene work for me is that is the artifice of it all how it's like, you know, we'll get it. We'll get it. All right. So this week on twin and twin peaks, it's Twin Peaks episode two of season two.
That's right. We've done away with it. Coma, no, nothing really cheeky about this title. We had a good run of cheeky titles.
That's sorry. I just had to take a picture of the cat. Had to. Had to.
When last we left our cast. Yeah. What was going on? What was going on?
Everyone was in a coma. Yeah. Everybody was in the hospital. We were getting out of the hospital.
Yeah. No. So this episode opens with Cooper and Albert having breakfast together sort of going over the case a little bit. And he tells Albert that Ron Eppolaski has come out of her coma and he's going to go down there and show us some pictures of Leo and Bob and you know, see if these were the men that assaulted her.
And you know, there's a nice little scene between him and Albert where there were, you know, where Cooper's trying to interest Albert in Tibetan history. Yeah. He drops a little Tibet on him. Albert is uninterested.
Yes. Albert reveals that the police now know that Jacques was not strangled but smothered with a pillow. He says the contents of Jacques's stomach where tin cans, license plate, goat cans, wooden puppet named Pinocchio. Yes.
And Cooper says something like Albert. You're making a joke. Yeah. You're making a joke.
The two, it's nice to get a scene of the two of them together because like there's, there's like a deep mutual respect but they as people, right, they have nothing in common, what so ever. Totally personalities. They've really seen of Albert as him being a jerk to people from the town, you know. Yeah.
And for him to be like, like him and Cooper on like an even plane and they're like, you know, they're, they know that the other one is very good at what they do. Yes. And yeah. And so even just like when Albert's cracking wise, it just has like a different tones.
There's not that same contempt there. Yeah. It's like, it's just, I don't get you, but damn it, if I don't love your swag. We're two, we're two swaggy white boys and actually I guess Miguel Ferrer is Latino.
I guess. I guess. I guess. I don't know either.
So Albert also asks Cooper how he's feeling because he's been, you know, Cooper was shot. And Coop says who shot me? And he's like, well, we're still interviewing guests at the hotel and the staff. The, what's he called this?
Something to be effective, the sun downing, butler or whatever. Yeah. He called. I do have it here somewhere.
I'm entering Terrigang, the hotel guests, the usual bumper crop of rural, no, nothing's a drunken fly fisherman. Nothing so far. Oh, the world's most decrepit room service waiter. There we go.
Nothing out of the ordinary about that. I have a question, no surprise there. It's, it's okay. Cause like one of the things that is so great about this show is like it does just give you those like the things that are funny are not jokes.
And they're all played so straight that when you hear someone talk about it with any kind of like, or you hear them just talk about it after the fact you're like, yeah, that was, that was weird. I'm glad somebody else noticed how weird. Yeah. So there's, they still don't know who shot him.
Dan, I forgot to ask you. Who do you think shot Cooper? I think you did ask me and I don't remember what I said, but what would you say now? I think it was Windam Earl.
Okay. Which brings me to my next, the next thing that they talk about here is that Albert says, I didn't just come up here because of the case. I came here to talk to you about Windam Earl, which like sort of says. It's a chain of hotels across North America.
Just kidding. Windam, Cooper sort of like stops, it stops him in his tracks when he, when he hears the name and he's like, Agent Earl. And he's like, he's retired. And we find out that Agent Earl was committed to a mental institution and has disappeared slash escaped.
As Albert says, he flew the coop. Coop. Later on in a voice memo to Diane Cooper reveals that Windam Earl was his old partner and something happened between the two of them that some sort of skis on the rift. We'll learn more about.
We got to stick that in our pocket for later. Very well. Meanwhile. Meanwhile.
Oh, there's also in that scene, the last thing we see before we cut away to Meanwhile is that same Asian guy who popped up in the previous episode, possibly the one before it also. He's just sort of like observing them. Yeah, he was. He's the guy who called.
Did he talk to Josie or was somebody calling him like asking where Josie was or something like that? Yeah, I remember him calling someone. I don't remember who. Yeah, but he so this this man is still around and like observing watching Cooper.
How dare he? How dare he? Meanwhile, Donna has picked up Laura's meals on wheels route. Yes, continuing her posthumous single white femaleing of Laura Palmer.
Completely taking over Laura's life. She goes to drop off a meal to perennial old person in movies, Francis Bay. Famously Billy Madison? No, not Billy Madison.
Happy Gilmore's grandma. She does a little wrap in the wedding singer and that's very funny because she's a wrap in granny. That's not her. She's a little old lady.
Damn, my bad. I know you think all old ladies look the same, but they look different. I do. I do.
They all look the same parentheses, sexually attractive. Well, she's also she's technically a king alum. She's in the mouth of madness. Yes, she runs the in that Sam Neils stays on.
Yes. I mean, like she's just like she's been in just every movie. She's in blue velvet too. Look at that.
Who is she in blue velvet? I remember I remember. I remember. I don't remember either.
All right. She just must be. She must pop in. She's credited with 179 credits.
That's a lot. Not bad. Not bad. It's a good one.
She also gets in a fight with Jerry Seinfeld over a loaf of rye bread. Oh, was that her? Allegedly. What was it?
Oh, the marble rye. Of course. The marble rye episode. It's my bread.
Give me my bread. Give me the pretty old bag. Are you a Seinfeld guy? You look sorry.
I like it. I'm not like a completist by any stretch, but every time it's 2pm on Comedy Central, I'm like, I'll watch this for eight straight hours. Sure. It's such a solid show.
Really? It's terrific. It's my favorite thing where the writers will latch on to a throwaway joke and make it a central plot point later on in the episode. You know what I mean?
And just like Kramer is the sort of nexus of the universe. It's just like such a perfect vehicle to sort of get those plot pivots across. Yeah, that's really good. Also, as a cowardly short king myself, George Guy.
Love that George. Love that George. Love that T-bone. I mean, I've probably watched every episode of Seinfeld 20 times over the course of my life.
I watched it like last year, just all the way through. Yeah. Julie Louie Dreyfus. Yeah.
Fucking kill. So good. Every single scene is just so good with her. Yeah.
Such a huge fan. But I mean, the funny thing about that show is that Seinfeld is easily the weakest link. Oh my God. It shouldn't be there.
Yeah. It's like it almost doesn't make sense for him to be there. Yeah. Like, can you think of a luckier motherfucker in all of entertainment that Jerry Seinfeld?
Not really. Like, we're not very, like Jerry Seinfeld now. Purely because of that show, which is like a totally different sensibility than his act, right? And we're not for the show.
He would have been just thrown in the fucking bargain bin of pop culture. I think, yeah, early on, when they were still doing the Seinfeld like stand up sort of bumpers, like on the beginning and end of the episode where he's like, actually, you know, on Mike, like in front of the crowd. Yeah. All of that stuff.
Like, I guess it's like the first two or three seasons when we're doing that is it all it feels like his early kind of fucking what's it called stand up where it's like, you ever noticed kind of shit. But those are also kind of my least favorite seasons. It's just still trying to figure out who it is and who these people are and whatever. And it really doesn't like, like season four is like, like, peak Seinfeld when it like sort of drops that, uh, the stand up bit and it just sort of like, I know, it feels more Larry David, but it's just that's better.
Um, anyway, this is a great show. No, it's, this is not Seinfeld as it's Antwin Peaks. And unfortunately that is a better name. Seinfeld as yeah.
Yeah. Or maybe we could call it, here's your Seinfeld and make it also about the comedy stylings of the other guy from blue collar comedy tour. Run white. No, he's the main guy.
Ing, Ing, yeah, Ingfall, Mame, Steen, Bill, Malmsteen. Yeah, Bill, Angvall doesn't he say, here's your sign? Oh, no, I don't know. I don't know anything about Bill Ingvall.
That's his catchphrase. You know how they all need a catchphrase. I know. Of course they have.
They all must have. If you go ahead now, now you got to land the plane. All right. If you make straight observations about common everyday things, well, yeah, maybe you signed field.
Whoa. Way to go. I give you, I award you 10 out of 10 tater salads for that. Hell yeah.
Yeah. So, Twin Peak. Twin Peak. Just one.
Yes. Who killed the other peak? That's the central mystery. Right.
So Laura is doing Meals on Wheels. She goes to visit Mrs. Tremond, played by Old Lady Francis Bay. Right.
And it's just a normal scene. There's a little boy. It's just real meat and potatoes and creamed corn kind of stuff. All right.
Where Laura walks in, there's a little boy sitting in a tuxedo sitting in a big chair. Right. Just kind of lynch. Yes, Austin Jack lynch himself.
Son of David. But I mean, he is dressed and his hair is made up to look like David Lynch. Also, his bone structure. Yeah.
Like, without knowing who this boy was, I was like, that must be David Lynch's son. Yeah. He's a tiny weirdo with the same face. So he's sitting there silent, you know, not moving, not speaking.
As Donna has this very stilted conversation with Mrs. Tremond. This is actually very important stuff here. I know it seems silly and throw away and, you know, just your regular lynch weird kind of business.
I disagree that it seems throw away. It's completely insane. No, it is completely insane. That's what like, not that, not that I'm like, ah, this must be important, but I'm also like, I'm not going to forget any of that.
There's just no way. Like, I would say Francis Bay gives like such a perfect David Lynch style performance here. Yes. She absolutely, I think he loves doing where and he did direct this episode is that thing he loves doing where you put a person trying to be a normal person in a scene with just absolute phantasms of human beings.
Yes. You put a normal person in a David Lynch movie and they're like, what is happening? Yes. So Donna is just like, I'm, you know, I've taken over for Laura, starts asking, she's asking her questions about, ah, if you know, like how well she knew Laura or whatever.
And she says she didn't know him, but her neighbor knew him. She's also complains about creamed corn, her meal on wheels. Yes. That's creamed corn.
So, okay. Donna puts the food down, the plate of food and removes the lid. And the before we see the plate, she says, I asked for no cream corn. Do you see cream corn on that plate?
And Donna says, yes. And then we see the plate with like chicken, something and cream corn. And then it goes back to the old lady. And she says, I asked for no cream corn.
Do you see cream corn on that plate? And she, Donna looks again and there is no cream corn there. And she says, no. And then we look at.
Furthermore, yeah, furthermore, ah, we got to the little boy who's sitting across the room and he has his hands cupped together and he's holding the cream corn. And then he cuts away and then it cuts back to him and the cream corn is no longer in his hands. It has just disappeared. And the old lady says my grandson is learning magic.
Studying magic. Yeah, yeah. So, all very normal stuff. Nothing really to talk about there.
No, Dan, what do you think is going on here? What is shutting up? What a fucking stupid question. How could I possibly know what's going on here?
Of course there's no way to talk about that. Yes. I won't even insult the audience by guessing. No.
No, I'm, you know, I assume some elements of this is going to make some kind of sense. I'm not convinced, but I will tell you we will see a lot more of it. A lot more cream corn, you mean? Yeah.
And it will have like a David Lynch explanation whether you find that, you know, informative or satisfying is up to you. But we will. This is not the last. We'll see you have this cream corn.
Okay. Like literally the cream corn itself because I was joking. Literally the cream corn itself. You're kidding me on that.
Oh my God. What the hell could I even be talking about? And this show only, this show didn't get renewed after the second season. The stuff shirts at whatever network this is didn't, didn't care for all this.
Yeah. It's a CDC. I, I, I don't, the thing is I mostly remember the cream corn from the movie and the, the, the Twin Peaks return from 2017. I don't remember if they bring the cream corn back in this season.
But yeah. That's my God. Oh my. I'm just saying, you know, there was a reason that Lynch made this scene.
Want to, you know, want to stick out in your mouth. Yeah. He's so proud of this. He put his, he put the cream corn in his son's own hands.
Yeah. Now, let's say you're a boy. Just yeah. He's like, well, we do this every day at, at Casa de Lynch.
So, man, you know, like, thinking about like David Lynch is, like, you know, like, you know, his home life or whatever. Yeah. You're, my initial instinct is to think, Oh, how weird that must be. But it's probably, Oh, so boring.
Oh, yeah. Like more boring than anybody else, you know? Yeah. Right.
Like, I mean, all of his, uh, his, like interests are all like the most pedestrian things. And he's like, what if instead they were very weird? So it's like the, the raw materials he's working with. It's all just like, you know, how do you do the Americana type nonsense?
Coca-Cola. What if rock and roll is still around? Wow. Someone's on a shot on a fan.
Rock and roll is here to stay in there. Right. And we're here to stay, of course, of course, of course. I know it's a little early, but what if we took our break now so I could go to the bathroom?
Oh, this is classic Danny where he forgets to go to the bathroom before record and then 25 minutes in, he's like, Daddy, got to go bad. I drank too much urine. And now I gotta pee it out. All right.
