This is Doug. This is the film. The film. The film.

Yes. The film is the film. We'll talk about it. I've been watching a lot of things, too.

So I think it's just it. Well, with that, being said, this is Nowhere California presents another why not commentary. And we're doing it on what about Bob? Yeah, we're doing it on Earth.

It's 28th anniversary. We're being timely. Right? We're getting stuff out on time.

Yeah. You and your trader is ways when someone then enforces us to have to talk about shit way early on in advance or way later. Yeah. Now we're getting back in that water.

And this make, start a new thing for monthly commentary. I think it's a good thing. Because on, if you are a regular to the Nowhere California Instagram, you see my flashback Friday post seven movies that have been released on our news. Yeah.

And I want to over chief to make a summer season school. Yeah. Yeah. So we're going to do this commentary and then hopefully as things progress in the months and we find the right stuff to work with because we're not going to do this in normal commentary.

So we want to do stuff that's ditch. Yeah. Like what about Bob? Yeah.

This movie was released in 1991, May 17, 1991. Yep. And it's this year. It marks its 20th anniversary.

Ironically, we're talking about 20th anniversary on the day of my five year wedding anniversary. Yeah. If you remembered it now or you remembered it earlier, hopefully. I have no idea what I remembered it.

I haven't even been home. Well, that's what you remember forms though. Oh, yeah. The one piece of advice he gave us on the first day of his class is you told every guy in the room when you get married and copy of the wedding program above your toilet.

Nice. So you never forget. Never forget. Never give up.

Never. What should we say about what about before we get into it? I just watched the movie for the first time last night. It's just not one that's ever come across my radar.

Like I know and it's the existence obviously because of Bill Murray. This movie is hilarious. It is a great movie, but my oh my oh my is it at its core. He fucked up movie.

Very true. And in this day and age of political correctness and everything, it could not get me today. I agree disagree with you a little bit because what about Bob when it was initially released? Yeah.

It wasn't like, oh my god, this movie is amazing. Like it wasn't a big blockbuster. It was never intended to be. Right.

It was just a Bill Murray Richard drive us calm. He was released because it's Bill Murray Richard. Bill Murray Richard drive over Richard. Yeah.

About the club. Yeah. And they steer the movie. Yeah.

It's fine. I mean, the only thing I mean, if it did get made today, I think they would definitely not go so much on the crazy factor over exuberance of his mental health. I think they would turn it down a little bit and really make it a coming of age story like a getting comfortable in your own skin. Yeah.

What honestly, this is also. Right. Which is the only way to do it. Right.

Right. Just at its core does tend to lead a little bit more towards the ostracization side a little bit. Yeah. A bit.

But and this is speaking from somebody who has mental health issues. It's a funny fucking movie. I love it. So if that's all we got to say, as we always say when we do these commentaries, go get your food.

Unlike the car worker prayer. You don't need chemical help with this one. Yeah. This one's going to have you from going to the sober or hungover to pay him on.

Yeah. Well, how you're a night plus night. Yeah. Exactly.

That's why. So go get what you need and we'll come back and press play. Let's all go to the lobby. Let's all go to the lobby to get ourselves a treat.

Are you ready? Are you ready? I'm ready. I hope everybody got their food and drinks and snacks.

Yep. We are in for a four and a half hour director's cut. I usually like to have to build this part. Are we starting?

Oh, we're starting at the numbers. If you're going by the numbers is zero zero zero one. Unlike with wicked prayer where we were hoping it was over already. I know.

It's zero one two nine three two. And if it's any consolation, you should just see black on the screen. Yeah. There's no logos or anything.

So sit back and enjoy and we are pressing play. There we go. Okay. There's a touch though.

I missed this logo. Oh, why? I think the one I missed the most tries. Oh, right.

Well, they've been not the emblem one off and on. Yeah. But you know, why did they change the tricer? Because you know, nothing beats that original.

Every studio ends up doing it. Yeah, they always tend to. They most egregious. You said that one unfortunately was lying.

But still it just doesn't have as much. Well, why is it? At least you have to answer. It's lying.

This intro pisses me off. Oh, no. You're talking about this earlier. Okay.

The fish is cute. Doesn't bother me at all. Okay. The fact that the letters lay over each other.

They're not interconnected anyway. And the font changes color depending upon the top of the screen or the bottom of the screen. Urks me to know and it's completely stupid. That bothers me as much as it does.

We discussed a little bit. I'm thinking since it's. I'm in the telephony. I think it's supposed to possibly just by belief the audience just a little bit not completely sent over the edge.

Right. But just kind of shake them up a little. Now here's a question that's nothing to do with movie. What's that?

Do you guys think fish and fish bowls know that there's an ocean and that there's a bigger world out there? No, they think this is my world. Yeah, I've watched the Mythbusters episode where they talk about fish memory. No, that's their world.

That's the world they don't care. Yeah. They just don't want to be swimming too much in their own group. True.

Frank guys would break into Miss Piggy and go, Mr. Marie. You know he probably does break up the either tension on the set and not be on the set. That was a badass officer.

I had to work from home. I want to share. Oh, yeah. Well, he has the right idea.

He has everything set up perfectly word. He needs it. One thing that sucks he loses and play the month every month at Gil. Oh, yeah.

I read a very interesting Reddit AMA, why we're on the scene. The guy is a gorpholic. He hadn't left his house in seven years. And so he did a ask me anything about my house.

Yeah, well, no, he would say that if you ever want to know what it's like to talk to somebody who has never left their house. I'm open to it. And he and he, you know, like people are like, how do you get your food? How do you like, how do you survive?

Everything is delivery and take out. He goes and with the new introduction of like Hello, fresh and blue ribbon meals. And I said, he goes, I guess that's my door. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I was I saw an article too where like more of the delivery based like grocery delivery based people are starting to accept food stamps.

Yeah, which at first is like really what kind of what kind of what then they explain a little bit more for elderly. Yeah. How's people like, okay, actually, that's perfect. But we'll leave that.

We see Richard drives here getting ready for his vacation in like Winnipeg, Taki. Automatically right at the top, they make him a douchebag. Yes. They do not very the lead.

They want you to immediately go into any of this going fuck this guy. Exactly. He's one of those psychiatrists is you don't want. Yeah, he's the only one that I would death like for sure would go.

Hey, Robin, I'm done. I'll see you later. I'll totally I'll totally schedule an next meet with you. No bother.

I'm leaving. Yeah. But he's one of those he's one of those doctor bill psychologists is that I even said doctor bill to that college. Oh, yes.

Yeah. Yeah. He's a psychiatrist. Okay.

Well, he's one that is about as well. Yeah. And he's a terrible human being, but he is a psychiatrist. Yeah.

Absolutely. Oh, at least this doctor, the one that is working on Bob to him seems like he's right. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

He's out with him. Yeah. And he's trying to recommend him to a professional. Yeah.

Or he's like, you know what? Oh, yeah. I'm not good with it. It's like fuck this guy.

Yeah. Yeah. If I knew somebody if I knew somebody like that, I would definitely drop out of Wylie on him. Exactly.

Okay. You think you're hot shit? Have fun. Yeah.

Good luck. Good luck. And who goes on vacation for a fucking month in America? Are there other countries people vacation for a month?

Yeah. Who goes on vacation for a month? Goes on vacation for a month still in the same country. Fair.

Because during my time on London, I bumped into a bunch of people that were from like Australia and everything. And they're like, oh, we're here for three weeks. And it's like, well, you came from Australia to here. You have a reason to be here for that.

Well, by the time I was done, I was on a trip. I was like, can we shoot them out for two weeks? Yeah. So that's a lady who literally has nothing in her bag that's swinging in the window.

Yes. Maybe she's going to go to Scamio. Yeah. That was good.

I didn't miss a single one. Thank you. She picked him up. Oh, yeah.

He actually did. It's like his mumbling. You know, it was quite severe. Do you have another shopping list there?

I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it.

Oh, remember his pardon little Nicky? Don't be asking me why I put violence on my movies. So there's a total continuity error coming up. Oh, okay.

I caught it the second in half. Oh, well, I'll go see this. So he tells him second elevator, 44-4. He walks up, guys mopping.

Doesn't know where to go. Okay. Fine. Stone Conuit is still in the same shot.

We cut to this next shot of him in the elevator. He goes to the first elevator. Mm-hmm. Which means more than likely the film the elevator scene before they filmed this.

Here you go. Yes. I'd be pissed if that was happening. Nice and elevator.

I'd be getting that closed door button so fast. Yeah. It just makes me like you're fine. Get the next one.

Yeah. It's 20. I'm going to throw up. Exactly.

Right. Yeah. I was like, man, they just put Bill Morriff in the last few hours. Oh, man.

You guys remember early 90s fashion? Look at that. Look at that. Look at that.

With their shoulder pads. Right. Right. Got the power suit going.

Right. I'm sure she knows something, Kaz. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, exactly. Yeah.

Yeah. That was just one of those movies where Bill Murray, well, he was aware that was a comedy, but the thing is what makes the comedy work so well is that he is playing the mental deficiency. Yeah. He's fairly serious.

I mean, that's very realistic. I mean, that's very realistic. Yeah, it's a personal attitude. That's a phrase that Richard Donner used when he was filming The Surfing movie.

It's playing it real. Yes. It doesn't matter how outrageous a movie you're making at the core. If you play it real, then that translates better on the screen.

Exactly. like better on the screen exactly if you know you're in a fan of sickle yeah I don't know what to do. That's a company. Yeah.

Farcicle world and you're playing it as if you know you're in a far school world that doesn't take the way it takes away. I think in all honesty and I one day when they do a commentated movie but dumb and dumb are the sequel the sequel. No, the prequel yeah that I feel was what ended up happening with dumb and dumb are her yeah that those guys knew it and they played it. Farcicle.

They played it as a farce and everyone knew that they weren't playing that but Jim Carrey you know and Daniel's played it for real. Yes. It's in the real world. Which translates better on screen.

It does. By the way if I'm ever at a psychiatrist and he ever takes that pose with me. I don't know. No, no.

I don't want to be here. I don't want to be here. Another sign about the issue is he named his kid Signe and Anna. Yeah right.

Yeah. Signe for it and Anna Freud. Oh my gosh. At least Anna kind of works.

Yeah. That's a cool thing on the side but man. Signe or Ziggy is a calm. Yeah.

Well if you realize why he's got so many problems. We'll learn about those more momentarily. I know that other than the fact that one of his father's is Peter Pan. And Rob Williams actually considered for the role of Bob.

Oh no. What's going to do it? But he could. But another real big sign that this psychologist is a douchebag.

The fact that he's behind a desk. Yeah. Good psychologist. Is there with you?

Yeah. Not separated. Yeah. Oh.

This is the part where he talks about the Tourette's. Yeah. The Tourette's they took somebody took the audio of that and put it in a quote unquote deleted Ghostbusters two thing. That's what he's saying to the mince line.

As much as as as much as he's a douchebag psychiatrist. They are having him past the right question. Yeah. He's a douche but he is at least good at what he does.

Sorry. Twat. No nuts. Yeah.

You know it could have been another good Bob. Oh. Oh George. Yeah.

Yeah. But also too. George would have been perfect Dr. Marvin too.

Oh yeah. His his utility acting. Yeah. He was very underutilized as an actor during his life.

I really want to see what homage they paid to George. I'm going to do it. I'm hoping they just don't do the usual trope of oh. Rufus is dead.

Yeah. No they can have old audio from Carlin checking in on an assistant on Rufus's son. Yeah. Or having higher younger actor and when Carlin travels through time he aged backwards and houndtings younger or something.

I mean the guy Josh will play Tommy Lee Jones in the back three. Oh I'd say like I'd love to see where it's Rufus's son or assistant and it's played by Kevin Smith. That would be fantastic. Yeah.

So turns out Moony really loves this movie. Yeah. After just one viewing. Nope.

She's she's she's she's she grew up in this movie. Back to what we're talking about how Bill was basically playing it straight and everything. You can see it right here where like that comment from Leo actually he's taken it in as legit stuff. Right.

And feeling like oh there is hope. Yeah. I mean that's where a good comedy stands on its feet is where the actors play it for real. Like they play it as.

Yeah. Like as much as we're going to drag this grief for being a douchey psychologist. He's supposed to be a douchey psychologist. He's the direction he was given where we want.

We want to see this journey and we want to see. This guy gets come up and is by having this nutcase become such entrenched into his life. Which as we're getting toward that now at no point was it ever appropriate for Bob Wiley ever across those lines of contact communication. Oh no.

Or any of that. Or thinking it's for him to have. Yeah. We're getting there.

I mean at any point. Well I'll actually hold this point until we get to that. All right. Cause I'm jumping like twenty minutes.

I'm trying to get this done guys. Let's talk about the last part of the movie now. Something else that point on that psychologist aren't really supposed to do is put their book. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well at least he's not charging up for the book.

No. He does. Twenty nine. Yeah.

Yeah. Which now they would be like digital copy. You get jumping ahead. Jumping in like two minutes.

Yeah. I can turn this. I don't get paid enough to care. By the way.

How big does your fucking office need to be? Oh I know right. Like and also to not have like. Well.

Like we said it's supposed to be that way. Right. No I understand. Because he's supposed to have his distance.

He's supposed to be that psychologist is like oh you're here. Yeah. You broke the rules. For everybody that just got that Josh's cell phone went off.

Some of it. Mine's been silent since I walked in the room three hours ago. At least it wasn't Homer. That's true.

Also do I know. Phil's not in Sismo because all you really have to do with that one is just turn it down to zero. Oh yeah. Oh my dinosaur.

Oh you're not. You know what. If there's 50 years from now when you pass away. Yeah.

And I intend on out leaving you. Oh. I'm not. I'm not.

I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. Oh I didn't go there.

Alright. Okay. I'm not. I'm sure I keep dialing on you guys.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. All right. I'm sorry.

routine. I'm sorry. Copy that. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry okay. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

You're what I'm saying? Fuck. They're eight years from now. I'm Sure they're all wrong for Eastern.

I'm renters I'm not. The great one in one McKi. We have a two day and one four filled with 10 years. One okay.

Stairs again. No, he's doing it. Yeah, it's in So you guys see that it's a matte painting. Yeah, I'll give you guys a little bit of a trivia thing about mapping lighting And on this when I was in film school.

Yeah, you have for having a matte painting in the background The light source that hits that matte painting has to be double the light from from your light source So if you're lighting your room at one light level, but matte painting must be at two times higher than what's in the Stone was what you know the shoe marker Batman films. I mean they really went nuts with the Mac painting Oh, that was the call for those movies. Oh, I understand. No, no, no, no, no, no, no It's still fun, but I just like this is stuff.

I never noticed when I was getting I mean it was a set But I started paying more attention to things like you know, Mac paintings and stuff like that Back to what you were talking about earlier about crossing those We just had our first encounter with Betty from the switchboard Betty Which honestly should probably have been fired from the second call that Yeah, depends depends on the policy of the service on the service he hired I mean the problem is essentially you're under unless you're a mandated reporter. You're in an illegal obligation to report suicide Yeah, I know that because of a CSI episode I'm using Now is he wearing a hospital bracelet you guys? That's what I think it is. Yes, and with the way Bob's character is yeah I think he has his own.

Yeah, yeah Yeah, just the coverage basis just in case of his head explodes or something I will say this I really wish I had that kind of style hospital bracelet when I got hospitalized because the kind of views now which is that Shapes, yeah, we have to wait for 72 hours. Yeah, that shit chafes alright I mean, I will say this I will say this he did handle this first phone call very correctly. Yeah, well Also the interesting thing too is either the naive world Bob lives in or he doesn't really exactly know what's going on Is it fire island like a gay thing? No, I believe there's actually really a fire island.

Okay. I mean you guys want to ban for a second look at that. Yeah, no worries I'm watching the movie. I have nothing else to do with my hands.

Okay. Oh, yeah, this is the second call This is the second call sign that was the suicide. Yeah, this is the sister It's the second call to Betty which is a suicide call. That's the third call in the routine of calls.

No, this is the second call Oh, right, right. Yeah, you're just from the line. Yep But also do really wasn't baseball that bomb did yeah, you did a call girl to literally call no I was a fire. I'm making it cursing too nice.

I was she's a call girl My island is a fan of my notion barrier on it off the southern shore of island New York and known for protected beaches Interspruss with seasonal resort communities. So nothing I'm gay nothing back. Oh, wow, this is a call was even a call it was This right I was you just pretended to be somebody who said yeah, I'm free committed suicide Always in comedy's you want to suicide? Oh my god.

Yeah This is a terrible action. This could be a totally different movie. Yeah The tone like the deliveries and everything like that. Yeah, freakin psychological.

Oh, yeah You know, there's probably some online some you probably edited either some scenes or at least the trailer to make this Oh, they could edit Ghostbusters to be to sound like some kind of thriller. Yeah, they could definitely do it with this Just like what was it they ended up they ended it's okay to a comedy. Yeah, well they did The Jerry Grinch into like a drama. Yeah, I mean the first one I started was the first person to marry Poppins in warm Yeah, that's what started my movies fucking weird on its own.

Oh, you know, I did not watch that Hey, so to write I did not watch Mary Poppins at the right time. I think Mary Poppins is kind of a bitch. Yeah The only time ever saw it was with Kim. I think they did a classic screening and well, I went because well Yeah, and after that no, no, no, just fucking brag.

Yeah, I'm writing into two Mary guys I'm single for I lost now. I have a better relationship with my right hand At least you can do that. You'll free I ever get caught man. It's a lecture I got gone with that.

We're talking about masturbation as dr. Leo's getting told his patient kill himself Yeah, but also to you really got think in the mind of psychologists you have to probably have that disconnect Oh, yeah, there has to be it has to be this cat unless if you're unless it was one of those special patients you've had forever We're doing good. We're doing good. We're doing good.

And that happens is like fuck. Yeah, especially like if you had some breakthroughs and things like that I mean my first my first psychiatrist that I had I was with for about 18 months and After about four or five months it really kind of developed more into like a not friendship because we're still that But it became it became more and more personal and by the time of 18 months came around we had completely restricted our entire psychiatric Time we didn't do it in his office. We actually walked and everybody did not like he changed He changed his style to accommodate my idiosyncrasies. Yeah Those kind of like my like my first encounters with the psychologist was when I was young right and not really understand what it was going on with myself Yeah, and it had to freakin stigma still my brain.

I'm like, oh god. I'm not so I'm nuts Yeah, cuz I mean I would really say that the stigma around mental illness is kind of it started to go away We're only just in the last ten years now But then now going on to nothing now in my third year with this therapist like I wish I would have kept going so I when I watched this I was like I recognize that fucking girl. I recognize you know, what do I know? Where do you know her from?

D2 the mighty ducks. She's the teacher. She's the teacher. Oh, D2.

Oh, okay I got it now. I was like Yes, yeah, oh yeah I love that lady as he's freaking out Right heaving he never actually in the couple times they do that gag you never actually does throw up No, no, it's their all false. All right. It's a part of his secrecy.

Oh, just like oh I'm gonna throw up. That's the thing he says it makes it Make it that's been fuck all those people in that way Well, I'm not laughing clapping. Yeah, yeah, yeah, well, it's not an airplane clapper Well, did you have airplane clappers and for your money? No, I don't think fucking Christ Well, you're on a plane for over 10 hours.

Everybody's like fuck. I want to go. Oh, it's like my flat lap We can't stand airplane clappers elbow room takers or people who stand up to second the flight. It's the ground The seat belt thing is still on yeah now I will do this if I am an aisle seat and the plane lands and we hit the trunk and we get into the terminal everything Then I will stand up to allow the middle person to have a little bit of room Yeah, you know what I'm a window seat.

I go back to fuck it's late. Oh, yeah, cuz I can't get off that plane for another half an hour Well another thing I really want to point out the dateiness of this lovely movie No, that bus is where travel. I know they are still now. Yeah, but good Lord.

I used to take Ray Hounds Total home when I was young My mom went to Oklahoma to play for the first time I was like, why why why do we do this? I know it's more expensive, but yeah, but Great hands are see what's really funny is that hat totally dates the movie by the same time that style of hat is coming back Yes, the Fisher cap is coming back. Yeah, I'll tell you if we're the character the place is that he's that new sheet of a Vacation is my vacation. This is my vacation hat I'm also wearing fishing fishing hats as just a thing.

Really? Yeah, I'm more of a hundred stops than anything else Now is this like last week or five years ago ten years ago before I knew you after what I'm up So 92 ish 92 I was ten Definitely with a hundred stops and they I mean Nowadays the people who wear the the Fisher hacks are the Gucci boys like everything's Gucci and Gucci this and Gucci is all So this this is what happened ever he helped take care of that shark. Yeah, you never get out of the fishing town. Yep It's a big forever human attempt to hug my therapist.

Oh really? Yeah, she'll go for the hug We're doing that. I've never hugged a therapist. Yeah, I never know what people's personal space are Yeah, and I've noticed something about my personal space Huh as I'm getting older and as I'm getting more like deep seated in my mental illness issues The less I like to be touched unless I know you I know you then like it's fine But except for my fucking back.

Yeah, I even you even my best friends like 16 years. Oh, don't don't fucking touch my back. Oh god I don't like to be hit the back of the head or Breakdown Those are next yeah, well, that does me up. Yeah, I don't like it I don't think I have a very sweet guy, but you flip me in the back of a hand sensor I'm gonna do a fucking monster.

Yes, I was telling Josh today. I'm very patient fella I to the point that I had a lot of people walk over me a lot right, but if you even cross that far of a line with me I'll cut a bitch. I will cut it I will make a styrofoam fucking knife and she'd jab it into you as much as goddamn possible Yeah, exactly. There's even a thumbtack.

We'll put a hole in the wall at hit hard. Uh-huh. Yeah, it's kinda like no I will drop you. Yeah, you don't think I can everybody underestimates me, but it's like don't push me Yeah, oh speaking of revenge she never says that I let's see never says that I love that's fine on the funny Oh, it's your fun.

Yeah, it's so much. I bought the right time And if it wasn't for these people bawling it left Oh my gosh, this seems hilarious. Why are you always wearing black? Yeah, I feel like that was directed towards me.

Oh Brother Exactly right here. No, I'm wearing it cuz I'm fired. I'm actually wearing a white button. I'm sure yeah, yeah What you're wearing the nice black?

I went to a job interview this morning, so I had a dress appropriately. Oh, yeah, I went well You know what I was really funny what I was doing one more in a time 101 I was the only one wearing a fucking time. All right, so what is your spring? I'm 34 years old I'll be 35 this year.

I do not know how to fucking die I don't know either I'm sorry. I'm gonna die now Oh, I mean they got your tall enough that you can understand and almost anybody a water. Yeah, I can so you don't know I'm like well remember before I went to Hawaii you're like Talk about it. You're like hey, you just my pole learn how to do it and I never really even went in the water that much when I was in I mean, it's not really I mean learning the swim is very much 75% So 25% this year It's up if you really kind of have to get over the idea of Drowning before that's what me and it kind of talked about in the post-lending episode because I did mention it's like When the plane goes down you're pretty much dead so swimming isn't it?

And especially with the way on planes They have you get in a craft position. They want you to snap your neck. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah It's like no, I'd rather bounce around and maybe hopefully get in my shark You know that was that's not funny for me like I know was I think it's yeah Pushing Sundance the legendary line where they have to make that jump, you know down the river and he goes He goes come on jump.

He goes no, I can't do it. He goes. What's the matter? I can't swim Why do you not the follow probably tell you?

Classic yeah the gut means Way more pissed out about the house situation than the husband is oh, yeah, well It not being sexist or whatever it's when if I have more I'll do that we just need a place to shit and leave or shit The only even the reason I want house is for a backyard I care less about anything else right? I just want my yard for it because then I can finally get a bigger dog So having to deal with small animals I finally get my golden retriever or Australian Shepherd that I wanted since I was 12 Now see I'm gonna make earlier in the episode On your all circumstances dr. Marvin had every right to call the police Oh, yeah, and half and take it away and all that what happened was they would have arrested him processed and thorough and then he would Gotta go home everything more like we're straight in order. No, you're shooting or probably drop them as a patient Oh definitely drop them as a patient for sure.

I mean that's that's sort of the flaw that I see in the dr. Marvin Dr. Marvin universe or whatever at no point does he handle Once past this scene no point does he handle himself correctly if he really wanted gone I've called the police could have called any number of people could not anything else after day three He goes and admits into a hospital on a 24 hour hold What have been so much easier not to do that you know like But also to kind of falls back to that other doctor that initially called him to pick them up Bob That was probably like we just do yeah. Yeah.

Oh sure. I'm sure I would I would I would get money on the fact that I dropped I'm only a reason yeah, I like that he's on vacation for a month I cannot do anything for a month yet. You still brought your prescription pad with you. Oh your reputation.

You mean you sum ups I'm gonna get some Molly for that for that Labor Day party. Yeah Got to get some additional leave for the brownies You know that I've experienced like I've lived a life without marijuana and I live the life with marijuana I very much prefer my life without it.

It's good. I'm used legal in California now So it doesn't matter if you do or not you're still not standing to this but I definitely prefer my life without it I would say yeah, I don't know if we can get off the Asian point now. No. No.

No wait. I like my rules too much No way man. Give me them double wake ups. Oh, yeah, we're nipples bigger than the boob We're saying this as Bob is doing the baby steps mantra baby steps to the boob baby steps to the boob Man dude 90's fashion.

It's widely released all posted on Looks like more drama comedy that's terrific. He's a he's a he's putting away some more of that robot chicken money It's from the same studio.

It's from the I think it started out as stupid monkey, but it evolved to stupid button. Oh cool Okay, so now what you guys don't want would you guys have gone with the rifle the bust bust? I'm not again person I mean I know I would go with the bus because the rifle just says yeah, yeah, you really want me in your head yeah Well, so to if we're really want to be technical I'd say with puppets fair don't give some fodder for the interview I also kind of know the fact that his production design would not even hit by him They would have had someone come in and reset the house for what was good for the production Yes, yeah, but he's that big of a freaking I do love I do love the one we get to it I'll point out what I'm talking about there is a line that they say when someone said it says like yep That's exactly what someone would say I love this shirt so much if someone should cosplay My cosplay plan is be swatch so yeah, yeah, I almost have my entire cosplay and I have time for the next time we go to Right now I got the shirt and pants I will I've started looking into two hair extensions to be able to spike up for the mock Yeah, the only thing I'm missing is the shirt boots Nice like the problem with that is even finding some hair boots like that users to looking at 75 dollars Well, what about coverups like your sneakers, but like like a fabric no Yeah, I haven't cosplayed anything before if I'm gonna do it right. Oh, yeah, there's nothing to fear Yeah, I'd be more likely to Dress up, you know from him is in Scrooge nice little suit Like Yeah, exactly I'm not saying we're doing it, but that may be a why Just to see how we do We probably do find the entire commentary that seem to come up the entire rest of the movie silent Yeah, well, it's kind of like watching movie casino first breakthrough.

Yep. Boom. Yes. No, he doesn't use the Yep, and the movie casino when Joe Pesci and his brother, you know get the you know still that's to him I mean that is a hard part to watch well not to I Don't know what the term would be somebody beam death is a lot different than free.

Oh, I know No, I'm not saying I don't know how to get your jolly stuff Josh, but I'm just It's more I want to fuck up shit. I know I know Need I remind you head no, no, you don't need to I Which more likely maybe next year's why Before we get the voting and everything I did try to search out one thing for next year's why and I cannot find an on DVD Minj girls coming out of our shell tour. Oh My next door neighbor had that and I every time I know there I wanted to watch it because I was eight And we thought it was cool shit. Oh, I thought it was cool.

I do have it on DHS Sailing I'll see if I can rip it I've got it and the making of the coming out of the show We have if you have it on DHS if you can't rip it I will borrow my parents VCR okay, and we'll get up here because I assume you're your your TV has 80 Yeah, yeah, I definitely say we should do that Is it coming out of the show yeah, or is it about to kill him My question is for the governments is that their entire day?

I'm just in black one spot like To be a prank to do just to see who comes in Like and there's no There's no goddamn way that he is the puppet thing for his kids communicate with him his kids are intelligent and very well spoken And I think I guarantee you have no problem speaking the voice this puppet bullshit is for him Yeah, this is his problem. This is his fucking problem. They may seem like it's his daughter's problem I don't wish it stop projecting look at the hair that he gave himself It's a little frizz out well, you know for a fact that he had to have the top of those puppets Yeah, every like major talk that he's had had with his family even his wife probably has had those puppets If he's had erectile this function honey get the puppets we gotta talk I love her She's great and just friends. She's amazing actress be yourself be yourself I remember lesson that commentary when I just worked for aco and Ryan Rose.

I love this. I love this Only reason we really hired her is because of her. Yeah It says you're a giant. Hey, you want such an asshole.

Yeah, I know I know I mean, okay going backwards a little bit You're gonna teach yourself how to dive but before that as you're walking through the doctor And explain every other reason as to why you should be out there with them and say but I'm making the time for you Wileys fun, I mean, I totally I totally laughed back. They still wearing life preserver. Oh, yeah I stole that yes like totally jack that person life preserver. It's precautionary Because you see you coming up.

He's gonna need it. Yeah Why is his bike there right I wasn't there before yeah? Oh, is he playing Tetris? You know Tetris I miss my I miss my gray box game boy.

Yeah, I have one When I went to the serial killer cafe in London they had a game boy on the slurry in there I have a Nintendo 2DS that was bought from for Christmas and I love playing it love playing it and then we moved and I lost the treasure Which I can easily get another one. Oh, yeah, it's just one of those things that like I'm too lazy It's not too lazy. It's just that like when I'm categorically breaking down the money on building things I don't take the fifteen dollars and budget it towards a new truck. You know, yeah, I don't remember it It's only when you feel like playing it you're like oh shit on the target.

Yeah I tried a fifteen dollar handling thing One handle these don't There's a lot of general jokes nowhere We can be doing commentary on a kid's movie there's gonna be nut jokes Yeah, it's the way it works and dive into the dock. All right. Yeah, thank you Okay, this right here. Do you think Bob is constantly known like okay?

We'll help this kid. No absolutely not Yeah, it's totally by accident. He's he's on that high of sailing. Yeah, it's it's and it's one of the first rare thing the interactions He's had and so it's kind of on the same age level as hard as mentally.

Yeah, you know So it's it's definitely not meant to be like oh, I'm gonna help this kid. It's they're connecting on a completely different levels Now at this point I don't see now I think he's involved in the I'm doing this for the kid Yeah, but we're here. Yeah, but to that point no it was very much like right here It's like yeah, yeah, yeah You know the other entire family, but we all yeah. Oh, I know his family rocks.

Yeah, well giving him him into their home and She's just they're so young and we're about to see why he's wearing a light check in three two and one There we go. Hey, we all help him dive to you. Yeah, hey, he helped him dive I mean you don't have a cell phone in your pocket. Just jump in.

Yeah They should have the only just look them off. They just sign eyes go fuck you Do you think this was scripted or they build just decided to keep rolling going? Because you're not exactly seeing their faces so they could be the problem I can't do that outside. Oh no, no never never never Presented with the option of showering outside shower.

Oh, no, I stand corrected. I do stand corrected When I've been to the beach. Oh, the big showers be shot. So I have no creepy.

I know you just you know the same idea. Yeah For sure for me the place that I did go that had the beach showers. They were all individually Yeah, they didn't have the whole boys locker room 16 around, you know You've been bearing to me for long this long you ask me that now I Mean yes, we are in the douchebag. He's fucking big deserves everything that happened to him But categorically he is correct like he should not be there and it's really kind of fucked up That his family doesn't understand like this guy's in that case.

Well, nothing that case It's a conflict of interest to have a patient this much in your personal life, but that's the whole thing That's never did never This is called the tongue that controls the localization of the audio guys pitch on your book of course, but the problem is my brain He never points out this is a conflict of interest this is like that's why I really Are you like everything that you might have been acting for that first interaction completely wrong? He could have told his wife like you know, this is not right, right? We actually should have been doing this He's a sweetest guy to plan but new my name is the government's let him have an orgasm with corn Okay No, it's just it honestly it's more than this I don't like messy food. Oh Oh no, you gotta put butter on it on a crap and Salt but it is very enjoyable after you but without a doubt after you enjoy To the setup for it.

Yeah, whenever I do have corn on top everybody houses too I don't use one because it's pointless to me. All right, and I just eat it. I just had the one and I'm just going all right Don't mention putting iron salt on it. I don't put salt on anything but mashed potatoes.

Oh, yeah Well, I put salt on anything else. It just tastes weird like salt in my brain Bolognes on potatoes and eggs. I tell you Yeah, but it's all a lot of stuff. Yeah, but also too for my quantum cub if I do have it I never really put butter I either put ranch Wow or like usually nine times out of ten is what's like sounds very safe or Some kind of gravy based right or I'll put some gravy I really think it breaks down to the fact that you really just don't like corn So you're putting ranch on there That's just kind of overpowers I'm just like You're just dipping corn corn the carbon salts are not salt ranch.

No, it's just more like this a coat It's a nice thing later. Yeah Does I'm not I'm not headily a butter person? I'm gonna do a lot of good. I'm gonna prove with that From what I've understood in a lot of interviews with actors and stuff.

Yeah, everybody hates eating scenes Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and that's why you most like Sorry, I didn't interrupt you. What's going on here? Oh, he's not because when he doesn't have nothing in every show shop anything leaving his mouth Oh, yeah, no, no, oh, I watch watch and shake me a gentleman's back Sure, no, no, I definitely see something coming out watch No, no, no, no, no, it's on the bed. It's on the bed.

Yeah, what are you freaking the caves in this mind watch? Unfortunately, you know watch carefully cuz I'm not gonna be able to wind basically he chokes on a crumb watch still in Oh, yeah, I stand correct. No, you must love bill Club that go but you can see it's a blink and you miss it Yeah, it's actually kind of unfair because I watched that scene in slow motion Just because I thought it was funny. Oh, I know we saw something coming out It's usually a show shot of it coming out was really unfair You blow each other this was a gentleman's back now gentlemen's club man.

Why do you want to see us blow each other? I've got some questions about you. I don't care how Joe Vio will move your and you could just gotten laid by the sexiest man Or women depending on your preference in the world. Do not focus across the goddamn Oh, you guys were talking about the eating scenes.

Yeah, people they usually Yeah, wait, but what I was gonna say about that though, too Yeah, they're most eating scenes. You really don't see them. Oh, we're having this Yeah, it's more just kind of you see some stuff leading into the scene and then what they're eating is kind of like that once We'll each time. Yeah, so they don't have to have like 20 pounds of potatoes by the end of the day Yeah, exactly and generally every actor has a spit bucket.

Yeah next to them that is usually off screen somewhere Yeah, so unless there's an actual scene of you swallowing the food you could just spit it out in between texts Yeah, oh wow, I think that's done and that is done more commonplace now as the rise of vegetarianism and veganism Yeah, that's right that a lot of actors will not eat meat so I'm gonna put it in their mouth and spit it or they'll eat like So for me, oh, they'll get annoyed with me. They'll have to replenish my plate And I'll just be fine. I'm like well, I've heard commentaries and everything word people have talked about like yeah I eat the plate every time time yeah, I would because thing is I'm I'm in the scene I'm in the zone it's like it's like if I'm pretending to it's like I'm gonna pretend to eat no I'm gonna see here one thing even if the conversation is not real I am going to do one thing that's real that sells the scene and if I that means eating if I don't care if I'm sick later I might very well be back to the loan. I am method acting here You want me to eat chicken?

For a second I thought you're being serious Oh He did win the wicked prayer commentary with the whole let's get in a circle and Sarah what you Now we're getting to kind of important sequence. Oh, yeah Where he's been a night for the night which? How do you feel about the movie is really weird that they let the grown man sleep with any year olds? Oh, yeah, but I think it's more the family minus Leo just understanding that no I To me great.

Yeah fine. Not in his room. Yeah couch. Yes, whatever or put the kid in the bed with you or something else Well, I'm not letting you grow a man.

Especially one that categorically which I've realized just right now I said we're categorically a lot. I said watch it all the time I got workly is yeah categorically has mental issues.
